The big takeaway from the Silo book matched the motto of restaurant Noma - "Time and place" - to eat locally and seasonally. So much of the carbon footprint of food comes from not eating locally or seasonally. For example, getting an avocado toast in November here in NYC requires putting an avocado on a 747 and flying it around the world. And, yes - in places like the UK or Denmark or New York, that can mean that fresh foods in Winter are scarce - but that's where fermentation can be a fascinating area of exploration (and, a related passion of mine right now).

I don't share this to create a sense of guilt or scarcity. We have oil now and can get coriander and avocados in the Winter. That means it can be from a position of fun (and privilege) that we can explore alternative ways to eat. But, our ancestors still ate without 747s. Constraints drive creativity - and exploring these areas of low-carbon eating now can drive innovation that helps us cope with with a more low-oil world.
Depending on where you live, if it's been awhile since it rained and then you get a downpour, test traction before driving off.

Doesn't need to be anything serious but it can bring oil/etc to the surface and it's good habit to be feeling what you're driving.
How does Beaglebone look to you (aka: TI's AM335x Sitara line?).

I've played with it some but I'm no professional here. I personally do consider it a major contender thanks to OSD335x SiP modules (although I haven't built an OSD335x, the deadbug demo intrigues me: https://octavosystems.com/2019/04/12/osd335x-c-sip-dead-bug/).

I had a graphic EQ from DAK in the early 1990's. It was so neat to watch. Too bad it died after a couple years, it wouldn't save the EQ settings anymore after a power cycle.
> the slightest criticism

This thread is full of people being super negative about the Element team. It's definitely not "slight" criticism.

> a lot of people come out of woodwork with the tried and true "they owe you nothing" line.

Criticism is how we improve and I'm a fan, but there's a difference between constructive criticism (which would be something like, "it looks like you're trying to build a sustainable revenue stream to continue your work on Matrix/Element but I'm not sure this is the best way to go about it, here's an alternative") and entitlement.

Entitlement is demanding that Element essentially not run a business to fund Matrix/Element development. You might not think you're doing that, but what else could you be doing?

- You can't think Element is getting special treatment; anyone could do what they're doing here.

- You can't think this change could open the door to some entity buying a proprietary license and "causing problems" because that applies to the Apache version as well (you can close source an Apache 2.0 project).

- You can't think Element would lock away community contributions; the community is free to fork Element's version if they do ever close the source.

- You can't think they're tricking people into contributing to their versions and profiting unethically from them; they're being super upfront about this (they make you sign the CLA that makes this clear!) and anyone is free to continue contributing to the Apache-licensed versions. And again if you don't like either of those options, make your own fork! Or write your own server, the Matrix/Element people have erected a super open development and standards process (you're welcome!)

Thus your only objection must be that Element is forcing people to pay if they want to run a closed-source version of their code. Another way to say that is you feel entitled to run a closed-source version of their code for free. You might say, "but Element's CLA gives them the ability to run a closed-source version of my code for free" which is true. The difference is they're giving you a choice, whereas you're demanding it from them.

> A community is allowed to have certain expectations, champ.

Please don't condescend, avoid snark, yadda.
no this actually is moving every single user currently on the service into this setup. Everyone gets their own sqlite under the hood.

Hey so first off, this is semi-unrelated but could we connect? I've been curious about the gaming/gambling industry for a very long time and would love to pick your brain on it.

I totally agree on the Discord support group as I'm in the same position as op and yourself.

Large organized groups of people that follow rules and laws that are publicly known are not gangs - you have all the information you need to successfully interact with them available. There is no arbitrariness.

Where that is not true, then you are right. But going back to what you said: if you only consider self-governance the correct thing, then it can never be true for anything. Therefore you would never have large organized groups of people, which are necessary for things like the Internet you're using to read this right now.
> It is easiest to maintain the integrity of the internal state of complex data structures when only a single logical process can mutate that state at a time.

I agree and this is exactly what js event loop provides. So I don’t understand ts-chan
It is not what is widely understood as concurrency and the documentation for Promise type is clear in that regard.

Nothing happens concurrently (at the same time), only asynchronously (at different times).

From the documentation:

> Note that JavaScript is single-threaded by nature, so at a given instant, only one task will be executing, although control can shift between different promises, making execution of the promises appear concurrent. Parallel execution in JavaScript can only be achieved through worker threads.

I hope that explains it for you.
I'd be surprised if the Act can force a company to pay another company.
What styles are you making? I made a dandelion flower dry mead and it tastes decent after 6 months but feels flabby. I’m experimenting with adding some acid to balance it out.
That's a bit of a stretch. People already complained about this before SD was released and then the model turned out to be between 1.7 and 4 GB depending on postprocessing and somehow that is supposed to hold the 2.3 billion "stolen images" it was trained on
>We" can fix it at a State or Federal level.

That's the only way, because, as you said, municipal governments only answer to the people who live there. Here in Japan, they passed a national zoning law decades ago that prevents localities from enacting their own zoning legislation, and makes uniform (and extremely permissive) zoning across the whole country. Basically, if you own land, you can build housing there if you want, unless it's one of the uncommon heavy industrial zones. So there's no real shortage of housing; if it's profitable to build, they'll build it.

Lots of people complain that the result is chaotic-looking neighborhoods where there's no way to get the buildings to look similar to each other, but I really like not having to deal with all the crime and homelessness that results from the western model.
Iirc, it has to due with their infrastructure and DNS queries. The short of it, as I understand it, is they try connect you to instances far away from your geo location because it gives them a longer time to process legal takedown requests. So some DNS do something that conflicts with this, and so they serve up the infinite captcha instead. I have this problem if I use cloudflare for domain name resolution, but it goes away if I use something else (like Google, my ISP, etc).

Edit: found it, cloudflare truncates edns, which is why archive sandbags requests that are boot strapped with a cloudflare dns lookup:

Guess which kind of reporting gets more engagement?
I feel sorry for the attendees (though as noted their suffering is temporary, and they were probably drawn by the lure of easy money). I'm delighted about the organizers' further loss of reputation and likely legal troubles.
I think the parent is more talking about the other common situation where organizations start focusing on maximizing profits, rather than just working towards a basic profitability. Eg, Google Maps API pricing comes to mind.

Yes, OpenAI might be (we don't know how much) burning through their $5B capital/Azure credits now, but I think the `turbo` models are starting to addressing this as well. And $20/month from a large user base can also add up pretty quick.
Lots of requests for "Hamster Dance"?

(Sorry, couldn't resist the pun. No actual offense intended.)
Ah, that type of comic book history.

The problem is, assumed “corruption and cruelty” could only be mostly local. Mongols came, instituted all fashions of levies, grant themselves the authority to accept local rulers, and went back. They didn't help to defend their vassals from foreign armies, but they chose their side in inter-principality campaigns, ensuring that the winner is under their control.

Funnily enough, this critical view matches the view of nationalistic thinkers of old who firmly placed the stereotype of “200 years of Mongol yoke” and widespread desolation into the education curriculum. There are doubts that is was that bad, especially for the elites that served Mongols well (and therefore made their regions actual parts of Mongol empire, which is an unthinkable perspective to nationalists describing them as “independent” and spiritually “unconquered”) However, in the era of the tsars it was used to explain how Russia is a “real” European country with unfortunate fate, and why its tsars are equal peers to European kings, and now it is used to explain how it totally isn't. The catch-all stereotype of despotic Oriental rule is quite clear here.

What? I've seen lots of tubes that may or may not have been clear, I really don't know, emitting light blue glows. Like, I used to go into Spencer's at the local mall a couple decades ago... I would have no clue what the difference is here.
Incredible attitude.
the two core, dare i say intrinsic, values of cryptocurrency are 1) immutable, public ledger requiring no single point of authority and 2) that authority having zero bias or regulatory oversight on any transaction outside of its protocol.

1's value being a traceable permanent record and 2's value is no direct stepping in between a transaction or control over a holding.

both of those, to many skeptics, are actually negatives and give more control and power to sovereign entities, not less.

i am not including the pseudoanonymity of it for two reasons, 1) depending on the crypto, currently the level of sophistication to transact in a manner that any given address cannot personally identify you requires massive amounts of personal responsibility / knowledge and most importantly to most people, effort and 2) because the major way the current digital fiat channels handle the transaction volumes that they do is that they're built on a foundation of authentication linking to personal identification, and so the theorycraft of "sure it has a huge ecological footprint but it could replace the many-many-many times larger ecoprint of the entire fiat banking system" is disingenuous to me because in order to actually replicate that, any main network would be a duplicate of the current authentications backed by men with guns, it would just allow that sidechannel of p2p to have it's wild west.

i do find it a touch humorous that those who want to shatter the fiat-police complex are quick to engage the legal system to protect and recoup from bad actors.

Does the YouTube Android app even use WebView?

If not, then this has nothing to do with YouTube. Even if Vanced used WebView, I assume it was pretending to be a regular browser, so there is no way the site could require attestation.
chinese industrial espionage, russian hawkish propaganda, russian crackers, and mass persecution of dissidents in both russia and china are all well-established and lamentable facts

so are government-backed espionage, government-backed hawkish propaganda, and government-backed crackers in countries such as the usa and germany

the usa also has a level of mass imprisonment that russia and china haven't seen in decades, it just isn't for political dissidence, except in a few cases like swartz and assange (who is currently imprisoned in the uk fighting extradition to the usa)

"ever again".. until the universe collapses in upon itself? (Is that still a plausible theory as to the fate of the universe?)
It was like this in the 90s as well. I would hover around noc closets and server rooms and just chat it up with the admin who came by. They were always eager to show off their systems. Then I would ask if they need help and I would end up doing network admin or sysadmin or building a system for them for a few months.

Come to think about it, this is still a solid activity at smaller shops. I have recently gotten work from my colo provider by simply chatting with them. The ROI is not the same as early days in my career but a sale is a sale

tl;dr It's not (just) Cloudflare. Lots of (all?) DNS providers are giving out IP addresses that send users to unskippable captcha pages. The DNS providers get those IPs from Archive's own NS. So Archive is the real source.

It depends on where you are in the world. I get Captcha IPs from Quad9 (9.9.9.9) if I query from FL,US - and good IPs if I query Quad9 from Romania.

As of today, these IPs are good:

I’m not in the console gaming scene, but was this feature really used that much? Based on my own experience of Twitter, it seems not. (Remember, Sony has sold over 100 million PS4s and coming up to 50 million PS5s. Twitter is a global platform. The threshold for what constitutes "that much" is a lot higher than might be intuitive.)

And even to the extent that it was used, most of the benefit probably accrued to Sony and game publishers than to the Twitter platform. Nobody is joining Twitter to find out which map of Uncharted Jimmy is currently playing. For people who engage with Twitter in any other way, such tweets might feel a bit like spam and unlikely to do much for the stickiness of the platform, but perhaps decent marketing for the game in question.
Well timed article, been having a ton of headache trying to explain this on the Univeraal Analytics vs GA4...

Blacklights are cool.

Disagree.

Yes- Us Weapons platforms are.

This is how the us build pure cold war style "for military use only" tech. The money wasted reinventing the wheel by defense contractors is why Americans will never have affordable healthcare or sustainable social services.

China simply doesn't do that afaik, it's civilian and military tech isn't always developed independently.

Restated: China blurs the line between military and police state tech. It's tech is frequently multi purpose.

Drones, bipedal and quad petal robots, ai/ml applications etc. Are not 10-20 years old. They are running the latest risc-v cores.

China being "more socialist" really embraced open source, multi use, drtw. It could be many reasons.

I was surprised to discover one the boards an esp32-cam (xtensa core) purchased off aliexpress was originally designed to be used in ccp military/police surveillance applications. I don't know which came first, but the esp32-cam board is so extremely well suited for that specific military application that the entire design and layout of the board made sense to me.

Espressif a Shanghai based company now is making both xtensa and risc-v chips.
NFTs, and even monkey JPG NFTs, are perfectly sensible when viewed as art projects. (Not as finance: financially, monkey JPG NFTs are rather silly.)

And by 'sensible' I mean sensible compared to weird things other people either do for art or spend money on for art. Compare eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_art (and that's far from the most egregious corner).
Florida has no state income tax and has a homestead bankruptcy exception. Two huge reasons for high-risk traders to prefer living there.

Under Florida bankruptcy laws you are allowed to exempt an unlimited amount of value in your home or any other property which is covered by the homestead exemption.

Buy a $50 Million house. Fill it with expensive art. If you lose everything, at least you still have your $50M house filled with $500M in Artwork to fallback on.

So, what's the story here? People don't read the listings close enough and accidentally buy miniature items? All the examples listed had accurate dimensions in the listings and didn't seem deceptive. They were also useful items if, for example, you do want to hang up very small clothes which some people do.
> There's two different things to discuss here. One is "the science" and one is "public health guidelines", and they're different things. It is one thing to discuss the behavior of the virus in a scientific context. It is another thing to spread memes, FUD, or armchair conjecture in a forum of non-experts that make claims counter to the latest scientific consensus.

But what if the memes and FUD are right? Should we really censor the paranoid conspiracy theorist, that said that you need a mask, when fauci was saying that washing hands is enough? What about when vaccines became available, someone said "even if vaccinated, you'll still get it, you can still spread it to your grandma, and she can still die from it, and the 'vaccinated people don't get ill' is a lie!"? I mean... it turned out to be true, but it got deleted from facebook and it got you banned from a lot of reddit.

> This isn't a fault of scientists or regulators. This is a failure of social media and their user base. They are incapable of being nuanced enough to determine the difference between scientific discussion, pseudoscience, conjecture, and malice. And so, those platforms became filled with speech that confused all four, and those who managed those platforms threw up their hands and resorted to heavy handed tactics because they lack the capability to do anything more precise.

...and wikipedia, the topic of this post.

> That isn't at all what happened, or what the problem was. The national stockpile of masks wasn't mismanaged by scientists, it was mismanaged by politicians. And JIT inventory wasn't implemented by distributors and hospital management by scientists, it was done by MBAs. And divesting manufacturing overseas wasn't done by scientists, it was done by wall street. And again, as I said in a sibling comment, the CDC was upfront about the rationale from the beginning.

The general consensus was, that masks don't help a lot, that's why you don't need them. It wasn't "you really need a mask, and we'll mandate it soon, but we don't have enough for now".

I'm not sure how this is a Sony problem. Isn't it Twitter integrating pricing? I mean it would be one thing if Sony is scraping and downloading a bunch of shit, but if it is just uploading then shouldn't Twitter be encouraging that?

Most modern board games have a solo mode and many games are solo only. I gave two links to the sibling comment if you want to look at some games.

I disagree. Desktop users run a lot of untrusted software. Allowing software to gain Administrator privileges with a single click from the user is a mistake. It doesn't follow the principle of least privilege where the user should only give apps permission for what they need to do and not more.

American military for decades have largely been mercs for hire especially for corps. Recruitments need to consider hiring using mercs incentives (similar to Wagner). Many veterans I talked to come to the conclusions they NEVER fight for the country and often joke they did it for the money and stability....so in a way they are no different than Wagner or any other mercs. They just have better boots and benefits and maybe safer (as long as not deployed to battlefield like Ukraine or Kandahar)...moral or nationalism...not much really.

liability for people improperly discarding your products is unlimited; there is no limit to how much damage they can do, and there's nothing you can do to stop them except screen your clients very carefully

and that's why, for example, armadillo aerospace went under; vendors of rocket-grade peroxide do screen their clients very carefully, for precisely that reason, and they had to scrap their peroxide engine design and go back to the drawing board

industry is going to happen instead in places like china where it's allowed (at least for chinese people)
