How does that fly (pun intended) with regards to net neutrality?

Where I live, some mobile operators gave you "unlimited streaming" in their data plan, but only for certain popular services (spotify, youtube, netflix basically). Since this would make it harder for others to disrupt the big ones, it was quickly forbidden.

On iOS all notifications have to use Apple's Push service.

And the WiFi essentially has to allow the Apple push notification system entirely in order for iMessage to work fully the way people expect.

So it's really a side effect. But yeah for example with the free iMessage connection on Southwest, I can see all the notifications come in on Discord, but of course I cannot connect within the discord app to actually load all those messages. I can only read them as they come in as push notifications.

> Ah, no - that the work depicts the individual taking abuse for extended periods until they take their life, the actor themselves is alive and well.

Ah, ok, in this case the definition of violence is that it's not simulated, so these cases are not directly comparable. The pornography they're looking at depicts actresses who do actually take violence against themselves. The blood that is shown is their own blood.

> How does that law apply to violent sports where the goal is injury

This is a better comparison, and one that's still being hotly debated in france. Violent sports like MMA for example were entirely illegal until a few years ago (2019) and are still under much public scrutiny. The debates are still ongoing.

> I do not know how one would evaluate what terms are acceptable though

It's a very difficult question between wanting to allow freedom but also wanting to protect. This dillema is not unique to the pornography industry. Other studies have shown that women in the European Union almost invariably face real-world sexual violence throughout their lives. This is again incomporable to something like Rambo which depicts issues very far removed from most people's lived realities.

I would say from my personal perspectives two things on this question:

1. The violence in pornography could be simulated. More care could be taken to protect the actresses. We could just as easuly be arguing that actors in action movies should be taking actual violence against themselves because boxers consent to the same. But they don't need to? Boxers do need to because it's an actual battle of physical skill

2. As noted above, there is a huge issue with gender based violence against women throughout the world. Almost every woman in France will experience sexual violence throughout their lives. This puts a huge strain on society and makes the issue more pressing than questions like the effects of shooting up aliens in video games which is a very theoritical reality, or even shooting up soldiers which is something that thankfully will only come up in the lives of a small number of people.

If you make over a certain amount, the traditional contributions are not tax-deductible. If you make even more, you can't contribute directly into a Roth IRA however EVERYONE can make after-tax contributions to their IRA and then do a "backdoor" conversion to their Roth.

I don’t see how sending plastics to a dump is going to result in ocean micro plastics. Environmentally you’re inefficiently generating energy from trash and reducing landfill size from bring trash vs failing to sequester the carbon in the trash and releasing some air pollution.

Properly constructed and operated landfills are a small source of methane, but otherwise quite benign.

I want to see someone build a proxy that uses the free iMessage or WhatsApp allowed connection to send arbitrary data.

Like have a WhatsApp relay set up at home that you are sending messages to and from, from the plane.

Like at a most basic level, send a message of a URL to your home WhatsApp which loads the web page there, and sends the HTML back as a WhatApp message reply so you can render it etc.

Wonder what someone could all do and make work.

edit Guess someone made a TCP relay using WhatApp already, neat.

The thought of working with Ansible again is my nightmare due to this. Apparently they had an actual Python DSL you could use instead of YAML for a while, but discontinued it? So now loops and if-thens are these awful drawn-out messes of YAML that interpret jinja in completely unpredictable ways.

Yes, enumerating available capabilities helps fingerprinting. And this is not good, and APIs should be designed better.

But there are easier avenues that are harder to mitigate. Hashing an image that relies on the browsers rendering of (default) fonts. Highly instance specific, lots of entropy.

People are really not liking this joke. I think it's because it strikes (see what I did here?) too close to home.

Or is it because it's not realistic? Ok, actually there are two digger guys, one to dig the hole and one to fill it in, pursuant to union agreement of 1953 when they were using shovels; now they have an excavator, but... jobs! So they take turns, or maybe they have two excavators pursuant to union agreement of 1979 so that they could each have their own workplace after that one guy wanted AC on and the other wanted AC off and the AC on guy had a heat stroke. Also the planter guy is not out sick, he was suspended from the job because he was putting trees in the holes upside down; he's now sitting in the "rubber room" with full pay pending 11 months of union arbitration. Also when the passer-by offers to help them put the trees in, the diggers beat him up.

Much more than that. With Windows 95, you could send an illegal ICMP with a simple "ping.exe -l 65510 victim.host.ip.address". Your Windows 95 might crash/misbehave after that, but not always.

The receiving end, the destination IP, on the other hand... These would panic, crash, dump, hang or reboot: Windows, MacOS, Netware, AIX, Linux, DEC Unix, Nextstep, OpenVMS, SCO Unix, HP-UX, Convex OS, Solaris.

It was very funny in the very first hours, the little toy Win95 machines obliterating all those big, expensive Unix servers on the network.

That was the precise moment when we started filtering ICMP echo on the routers. Hardly anyone did this before.

FPC is used in billions of devices-- that are professionally assembled, usually assembled only once, well-enclosed, and careful attention has been given to strain relief. It's cheap and compact and allows very small assemblies.

It's not so hobbyist/tinkerer friendly, where you're likely to put a lot of cycles on the connector, bend things back and forth, and end up with an enclosure that does not protect everything as well as one would like. Indeed, you have a sibling comment talking about breaking lots of FPC going to cameras.

Mechanical/connector failure is a small but noticeable share of the SD robustness problems on SBCs. I would expect FPC to be worse.

I think you'll find that if you set an absolute bar on most skills you'll end up with zero people above the bar in the past and a growing percentage of people above it in the future. The first person to run a four-minute mile was Roger Bannister in 1954. Now, that achievement is basically table stakes for college-level competitors. Similar effects can be observed in chess, piano performance, and just about any other activity you can measure. Making "first-rate" an absolute bar results in all sorts of crazy answers to the questions "who is first-rate now" and "who was first-rate 70 years ago". If you set the bar such that only the top 10 players of this year cut it, neither Bobby Fischer nor Michael Jordan would be first-rate.
You can't just make something free floating bigger and bigger without introducing new issues. In particular, as objects get larger in zero gravity, it becomes harder to dampen oscillations. The lighter the object is the more problematic these oscillations become. You also run into issues with thermal expansion.
There might be similar external factors but "because they can" seems like incomplete analysis at best.

My best guess is that whoever designed this system preferred to transform the time into a localized (based on the flight's location, I guess?) representation on the server so that they could drop it directly into the web UI without much client-side logic.

My gripe is that the original Pi cost $35 at launch and while they have made a better Pi...They have not made a Pi at that price ever again, even accounting for Inflation. Furthermore, increased power consumption and features have added big price jumps to the required Accessories. Now you need miniHDMI adapters rather than more common HDMI, you need cooling, you need more expensive power adapters. a fully set up Pi 1 was simple USB, SD, and HDMI All possible in a $50 budget or less if you had some stuff. Now you are $90 in to run it.

>I realize I can't remove it from life entirely, but I'm actively avoiding it where I can and replacing it as opportunity permits.

I realized this as well and have practically eliminated single-use plastics from my life except for those being those needed for health and safety reasons, like the blister packs that some medicines come in or bottles holding household chemicals.

Even with household chemicals, a strategy to minimize plastic use is to buy high-quality commercial applicators that can be reused for years and then purchase the product in bulk or concentrated form.

It isn't as easy as it should be, but at the same time it isn't difficult. It just requires time and effort.

When I discovered that bar shampoos and soaps that come in cardboard boxes contain the same ingredients as their liquid counterparts, and were less expensive because you weren't paying to transport water or mold a plastic bottle, it started a landslide of plastic avoidance.
some options:

- attachments are likely stored in a different part of the infra than raw messages (like on some s3 bucket somewhere), so it's pretty easy to allow the WA/iMessage/Signal/Messenger API while blocking their CDN through dns blocking, ip range blocking, sni inspection, etc.

- they cut the tcp connection once more than e.g. 1MB has been transferred. it would result in slightly degraded user experience (the message tcp stream needs to be periodically reopened), and may not be foolproof is apps are smart and resume the download where it failed instead of from the start

I lean for the first option as it's both the simplest and most foolproof option.

I wonder if it's usage in puppet is different enough to be a factor... But the introduction of Hiera to Puppet was a godsend (to me) and since then I've liked it (or at least put up with it). As long as it's only used as a way to hold data, and not the code (like Kubernetes) then I'm ok with it. If I have to use a DSL like Puppet or Terraform, I much prefer to use Hiera to perform context-aware data lookups so I can write environment-agnostic infra code (with zero hardcoded values) that iterates over data. I'm sure Hiera could have been implemented in another markup, but I wouldn't like to force my other choice on anyone. YAML'll do.

It’s a bit tough, on one hand John Baez is a great messenger because he’s such a fantastic communicator. But on the other hand, he’s a pretty horrible spokesperson for ACT because the man did theoretical physics and higher category theory for 30 years and now has decided to do “applied” work. It’s pretty evident in this course, he’s just setting up the frameworks people talk about using but isn’t going for any actual results that demonstrate the claimed application. I don’t think he’s ever actually done any applied work before he decided to revolutionize the field.

I once watched John talk down to some sort of research electrical engineer at a conference because his diagrammatic calculus didn’t line up with John’s approach, when anyone with a lick of sense would want to understand why their approach didn’t suffice and how these changes addressed its shortcomings - this person was a subject matter expert and Baez condescended to him about his own field! I think his attitude has, unfortunately, rubbed off on a lot of the people in his orbit.

> not worth clutching pearls over

Are we clutching pearls? 90% of the popular porn videos show taboo fantasies centered around--at the very least--spanking women. Is that not interesting? We don't need to clutch our pearls to make note of that and to discuss what it means. Pornography is very taboo as you've alluded to, but HN is for me a place where we can discuss anything that we find intellectually stimulating.

I find it very interesting for sure that depictions human sexuality is apparently almost always in some small way also depicting violence against women. I find it disappointing that so many here want to write off the simple mention of that fact as "moral panic" and discuss it no further.

None of the credible end products are good, though.

Perchlorate itself is at least somewhat toxic. Chlorate and chlorite are, too, and efforts are made to reduce the amount in drinking water.

Chloride is relatively innocuous (people need quite a bit to be healthy), although it’s not great when it gets on metals due to corrosion issues. Bit chloride doesn’t exist by itself — it needs to be balanced by a positive charge somewhere.

So that leaves HCl? Hydrogen chloride gas is fairly nasty.

The best outcome I can think of for automotive use is to carry around a bunch of calcium carbonate, AdBlue style, and try to arrange for the end products to be CaCl and CO2, and to declare that this is somehow a good thing because the cars all emit a steady drip drip drip of deicing fluid.
