A 'competitor' to this would be GetSSL which is a pure-shell ACME client (plus OpenSSL and cURL) and can be executed on one host, but send verification tokens to remote systems (where you may not have cron access):

> Get certificates for remote servers - The tokens used to provide validation of domain ownership, and the certificates themselves can be automatically copied to remote servers (via ssh, sftp or ftp for tokens). The script doesn't need to run on the server itself. This can be useful if you don't have access to run such scripts on the server itself, as it's a shared server for example.

Used to periodically get a c&d email from FB lawyers for some harmless software I published. Always completely ignored it, not even responding to acknowledge receipt. It eventually stopped. I figure they gave up and focused their efforts on targets who showed they would be responsive to threats. It was 100% bullying.

Punishing crime is also necessary. El Salvador provides the model here: they locked up all their criminals, and are now using prison labor to build hospitals, schools, water treatment plants, and other public works projects to benefit all honest citizens. The result: crime rate has fallen off a cliff, and the economy is booming.

This is what Facebook was also doing. They were buying data from any website they could. (They made data buying a profitable thing because they knew they could use that for ad serving.)

If the US govt, if intelligence agencies are doing the same, are we calling this "illegal" or wrong? If so, why? If the US govt were to be doing this with a healthy dose of govt reach, then it would be a violation of law. But they are buying what is already available.
This is not quite the case any longer

The 21st Century Cures Act was signed 8 years ago (but compliance was only required as of 2023). It states that Healthcare Institutions (& EHR developers) must provide a mechanism for patients to access their health records electronically in a standardized format (FHIR).

It's what allowed my open-source startup Fasten Health to even exist. I was diagnosed with a chronic condition, and wanted a way to store my health records privately on my own devices. A bit of luck and a POC later, I was able to confirm that patients can access their own records with little-to-no barriers.

It doesn't matter that I've had 6 different insurance companies over my career, or that I've visited more than 2 dozen different healthcare institutions, as a Patient we have the unique ability to collate and generate our own longitudinal health record.

1) Nothing.

2) This is a wonderful "Hacker-ish" approach to the problem: Pollute the Database! My fear is that in the real (ie non tech-hacker) world, whatever false data my dbPollution script put into the table dedicated to me would be used to target me, and that the argument "No, I didn't make [suspicious searches 1, 2, and 3] - this tool designed to make Law Enforcement's job harder did!" would not be a winning argument with a) Judges, and b) a jury of my normie "peers".

I hate that, but that's for the greater good. We could prevent virtually all crime if we were all required to be under video, GPS, and audio surveillance at all times and only be permitted to leave your home to go to work or shop for basic goods, otherwise face a lifetime in prison. However, that goes against common sense and agreed upon basic human rights. You should be free of government/police surveillance unless there is a warrant with very specific and limited conditions and parameters, I feel that is the spirit of the 4th amendment and bill of rights in general.

Ironically, the presence of lots of little keyholes results in a sprawlier urban form that results in things being spread further apart and funnels traffic into massive, wide arteries, which encourages in-city speeding habits.

Not blaming you for picking what works for your family, it's just a "tragedy of the commons" scenario. Old fashioned streetcar-suburb cities that are just dense, gridded traffic are safer.

For example, in Toronto:

Since the article is paywalled, here's the Tweet showing the dangerous-intersections map:

And here's a blogpost showing the age of neighborhoods built:

https://idragovic.wordpress.com/2016/05/24/toronto-building-...

So basically, at least in the case of Toronto, postwar suburbs with winding and dead-end residential roads with wide, high-speed corridors produce dangerous intersections.

Not entirely true, small family farming can compete in niche, specialty and high end produce, they can capitalize on having a pretty farm (because "real" farms are incredibly ugly but people have pastoral fantasies), and farm stands can be profitable if they're in the right location.

You keep making personal attacks, they're not helping your case. And yes, TFA's list of facial features includes "complexion," aka skin color. Weird hill to die on, especially if you don't actually know what you're standing for.

But even facial features such as "broad, flat nose" are strongly correlated to race. And that's what you meant by "heavily politicized," isn't it? Methinks your innocence in this regard is feigned.

After all, fiction writers have been leaning on racist tropes since time immemorial, doesn't that make them a valid source of truth in your line of reasoning?

I don't think you know that much about modern tractors. This headline is only surprisingly to people who still think of John Deere as an old school tractor company.

Modern day tractors have tons of sensors on them that are always connected to make sure any failing part can be detected and fixed before it breaks, basically or actually do drive themselves, and likely have as much or more tech in then as any modern car.

"licenses do need to be easy to get"

This is what allows the situation we have. People either don't get caught, or only get caught after injury has occurred.

"traffic violations should be punished way, way, way more severely than they are."

It depends on the infection. Many are already severe, such as being arrested for racing, going 25+ over the limit, DUI, etc. DUI is a factor in about a 3rd of fatalities and is already punished severely. Seems like the punishment focus isn't working. The preemptive education portion is more promising.
Thank you. I have responded to you, since you were one minute earlier. I won't repeat the whole comment that I had written and lost due to my phone running out of battery, but still wanted to at least add part of it with thanks for the information.

This kind of euthanasia (voluntary, with a review board, like in Switzerland) is something I feel should be a human right, though I'm not sure about the intricacies of the Canadian system.

I think one should be very much aware of the extreme chasm between this and the kind of euthanasia committed in the early half of the last century in the third Reich, and not confuse them because of the common name. From the grandparent comment, I had assumed they meant to imply that Canada had implemented something closer to the latter.
There is a vital need for farm equipment to be open source. I get the feeling quite a few people have no clue where their food comes from.

Counterpoint: not restricting innovation in any way has quite a track record of backfiring spectacularly, too, because it turns out the goal is often "make as much money as possible at the expense of everyone else".
The vision pro is far cheaper than an Apple Pro XDR, and input glitches shouldn't be a problem as I'm using a physical mouse and keyboard. Plus I get to add additional apps outside the screen if visionOS natively supports them (Slack, email, and iMessage are good examples. Plus the web browser can be a native app. You can seamlessly move your mouse/keyboard between them and copy/paste too.)

The weight is definitely on the "let's see how big of a deal this becomes" list though.
In a lot of ways RTO has put working conditions in a worse spot than they were pre-pandemic. In the Before Times occasional remoting was informal and casual - if you had a doctor's appointment at an odd time, you'd remote for the day, with no formal approval nor teeth-gnashing.

Now even small everyday things like this are fraught. There are often formal approval chains now for what used to be entirely between you and your boss. Even where there aren't formal approval chains your boss now knows that these arrangement count against the team in some opaque metrics even they don't have access to.

Likewise, hiring remote candidates has become a minefield - pre-pandemic it was often entirely discretionary on the part of the hiring manager. Sure, the default was in-office, but making exceptions to it was entirely between the people who needed to work with the candidate and whether they thought they can make the arrangement work.

Now it has to be run up the flagpole - in some places all the way up the flagpole to the very top of the company. And at every rung along that ladder everyone knows - again - that allowing the exception will count against them in opaque and faceless metrics that are being scrutinized.

A top performer has to move out of town because of family reasons? In the old days you talk to your manager, maybe your skip, they'd tell HR it's fine, and... it just goes. Now? 95% chance the person has to leave the company, because someone in the newly-installed approval chain is going to nix it because - again - it counts against them personally where it didn't before.

Sigh. In so many ways we've regressed on this so much. The level of flexibility and discretion teams have on work locations has narrowed so dramatically, in exchange for yet another spreadsheet-driven bureaucracy.
Rather happy that my daughter is in the Scouts here in Norway (Note: there are two scouting organizations here, religious and non-religious. My daughter belongs to the latter).

Learned to use knife, axe, hammer and saw. Learned to cut wood. Learned to make fire. Camping trips. Long trips in the woods. With the local scout leaders making it very clear to all parents that yes there will be times when they come home after having cut themselves or other injuries - but there's more than enough of adults who know first aid.

Camping trips where they learn canoeing, fishing, foraging, making your own food, etc. And lots and lots of unstructured play w/o active supervision.
Did the driver of the Sentra ever get caught? And what are the odds that the ped who was hit got an extremely nice settlement from this? I can only imagine the flooding of emails and calls they got from injury lawyers after Forbes broke the story

We have rewritten the string data type
In very small organizations, perhaps, but the knowledge and skills are not the same, so as soon as an organization gets big enough to have different roles for the code that runs on the server vs. the code that spins up the server, and etc., they tend to do it.

To be honest, I've seen more cases where organizations try to combine front-end and back-end, than back-end and devops.
This review confirmed this is exactly what I need. I don’t care about my hair messing up, I work from home. I don’t care if the display doesn’t look as good as reality, that was never my expectation anyway. The display just needs to look good enough to work with fine text and hi-res images. I don’t care if it’s too heavy to wear for hours at a time, I always work in 25 minute blocks anyway. Breaks are good. I don’t care if personas look creepy, Zoom virtual backgrounds are also creepy. I don’t care if the eye/hand tracking isn’t up to par for “serious” work, I plan to use it with a keyboard and mouse anyway (at least while working, not in entertainment/writing mode). Every single “fault” which this reviewer mentioned doesn’t matter to me, I was never expecting this device to replace reality for me anyway.

What I want is, the ability to have large displays laid back on my bed/couch, and the ability to walk around the room and place different open Safari windows and apps around my physical space as I think and study some new topic. That’s all. The new virtual world stuff is just a cute addition for me, it’s not what I am buying it for. I am buying this thing to have an infinite number of screens placed anywhere in my space, and that’s all I wanted.

Long-tap to see tooltips is a convention that has been proposed in various incarnations of the Android UI guidelines. The convention was present in very early Android UI guidelines (e.g. Android 4.x); I'm not sure if it still is.

The problem is that long-tap gets used for a lot of other things on Android (extended selection, particularly). The user experience is pretty unhappy if you use both conventions. And, in practice, long-tap tooltips are so rarely provided on Android apps that I doubt that ordinary users would expect them at all.

As far as I know, tap-and-hold (as distinguished from long-tap) isn't a conventional gesture on Android.
There's nothing hamfisted about monitoring what other adults say to teens (and younger) when alone. It falls under basic supervision of minors, in order to prevent abuse.

Including abuse that abusers try to shoehorn in under the guise of noble cause. For example, like sexual grooming, cultic induction, political radicalization, etc.

Anything that anyone can say to a child, can be said to an adult. I mean that in two fashions.

The first is that it can be said in the presence of a guardian. If it can't be, that's a red flag for abusive and grooming behavior. Children have what is known as "guardians" for a reason. They are charged with making decisions for the child until that child is an adult. Which includes making decisions about steering them around abusive adults. Trying to circumvent that firewall is red flag behavior. Everyone who aims to do this should know how they are framing themselves. If an adult has something to say to children that is outside of the known school curriculum, then there is zero reason that it can't be said to their guardian at the same time.

The second fashion that I mean the assertion that "anything that anyone can say to a child, can be said to an adult" is the following:

If someone believes that what a parent teaches a child is misguided, then there is no reason whatsoever that their alternate presentation of facts cannot wait until the child is an adult. Assuming that their guardian wants to sheild them from that alternative view.

Needing to present alternative views to a child, instead of an adult who is more capable of wieghing what they say, falls in the same category of suspicious red flag behavior.

You may have appreciated the alternative views that you sought out as a child, but the truth is that you circumvented your parent's guardianship. And if your current views are valid or more valid, then they would have remained so once presented to you as an adult.

That's one strange paper, mixing hardcore biology with badly written blockchain advertisement... and it got accepted into Cell too. I am not a biologist, but I am guessing that maybe biology part is really good and innovative, and the peer reviewers just kinda glanced on blockchain section?

> Development of all codes and algorithms described in this work was supported by internal funds of Allchemy, Inc. and Golem Factory, GmbH.

also, apparently it is not that cheap:

> The calculations that ensued over the next 2 months involved ca. 400 machines and 20,000 cores [...] the providers were remunerated [...] 38,540 USD [...]

> according to Amazon Web Services, a reserved instance cost per vCPU-hour on Linux is $0.05, which would translate into a cost of 80,000 USD [...] Also, the cost is comparable to purchasing a top-of-the line machine [...] for which, however, we estimated the calculations at maximal server loading would take at least 6 months.

So it's only 2x cheaper than Amazon, which means they could've went to some cheaper provider (Linode? Hetzner? Something else?) and got all the same performance without having to worry about untrusted executors, mess with blockchains or having to advertise their initiative in the Discord channel.
The problem did not occur at the NSA, because the NSA is not law enforcement, but at the DEA which is law enforcement. The DEA should have applied for a warrant and immediately notified their attorneys of the evidence source.

In Europe there are very many successful examples of national housing projects, indeed many countries have large portions of the housing stock in public hands to this day.

This was generally instituted after WW2, which left the EU housing stock in a far worse condition than the US's today, and left the EU totally impoverished.

So, you can come up with hypothetical problems, but practical experience shows it can absolutely work.

NYC bathhouse is mining Bitcoin to heat its pools
Solution is simple and well-known but requires balls: separate childbearing from marriage politically, and treat it as a full-time job. Institute flat tax charged from all adult population and use it to pay salaries to all women (not "families") with children based on number of children without regard to "quality", variating (guaranteed inflation-adjusted till age of 18) salaries, and taxes, according to the birthrate factual vs desired: increase both if birth rate is too low, until it is sufficient. As simple as that.

Because this will be exploited by the poorest underclass women who will have lots and lots of children to milk the taxpayer (and that's fine!), the resulting market-based salary won't at all be huge.
I've been impressed recently by El Salvador's "Plan Cero Ocio" ("Zero Leisure Plan") to allow prisoners to work to compensate for some of the damage they have done to society. Notably, unlike the US system from OP, the labor does not go to for-profit companies, but to public works projects like hospitals, roads, and schools that benefit all of society.
