Then I have to disagree with you a bit. Freedom for an individual to risk their own life is fine - I don't want to legally compel anyone to take medicine that will save their life, or prevent them from taking supplements or diets that will kill them. This is a different category of freedom. Failures of air safety in manufacture, maintenance, and operation can and do kill innocent parties on the ground in crashes and in the air in collisions. This is not even so rare, in civilian aviation outside the US. And that is not even considering questions about the risk awareness of passengers.

This isn't even my field, and it was not hard to find https://rmas.fad.harvard.edu/pages/chartered-private-aircraf..., which led to https://www.ntsb.gov/safety/StatisticalReviews/Pages/CivilAv...

In 2022 (per 100k flight hours), part 121 carriers had .112 accidents and .006 fatalities; part 135 carriers had 1.096 accidents and 0.103 fatalities; and general aviation had 5.336 accidents and .945 fatalities.

JSX's model was 10 times more likely to be in an accident and 18 times more likely to be fatal than major airlines. This was in line or better than any other year I looked at back to 2008, which is the earliest data the NTSB had.

Before I dug into the data, I was willing to accept this regulation might be have been an overreaction that should be relaxed. Having dug into it, I have come to the opposite conclusion, and I think that the FAA should remove the regulatory loophole JSX operates under.

You seem really unpleasant. It's nice that you were successful and all, but I'm not sure why you need to rub it in the face of people who are still trying to be successful.

Things obviously change over time. It's not non sequitur to claim that opportunities have shrunk over time. Bringing up counter-examples of opportunities that existed 40 years ago is not an argument.

I don't know why you think opportunity must be constant. I don't think you would have had much success with your .com startup mentality in 300BC.

A major point of establishing a corporation is the liability shield it grants. Sometimes it doesn't work (google piercing the corporate veil) but, the whole idea is to grant indemnity to people within a corporation for the corporation's actions.

Aren't there subtleties, for example, when doing inter-state commerce (assuming the two parties are both US-based)? In the EU, VAT isn't charged the same way if you invoice an entity based in your country or one based outside of it.
What a reductive attitude. If your planes fall from the sky because a single employee is negligent. The ones to blame isn’t the worker, the union or the state. It’s your business that has key deficiencies in implementing safety.

Your QC process has to be able to catch these things. It’s not like you can avoid any reliability in your process and just lean back and be like “don’t worry bro, it’ll fly, we hired all non-union workers”
This is why we can't have nice things. The social media platforms took things too far. Most republicans would be in favor of the platforms not being liable for content if they don't censor. Most and both political sides would probably also agree that they should be taking steps to protect minors from child predators etc., and that was the intent behind 230 protections. The social media platforms took 230 beyond what is was initially intended for as a premise to weaponize it against people who's politics they don't agree with. Obviously with that kinds of a loophole 230 was not well thought out from that regard and would need a re-write.

This is a bit exhausting. I care about the environment. And I care about it's impact on humans. But I feel like it's a never-ending march of things to fret about. It really seems like folks are looking for thins to sound the alarm about.

Maybe PFAS really are a major problem, I don't know. But I'd love to see a bit more circumspection about this and other issues. Keeping people on red alert, all the time, about everything - does not seem like a recipe for human flourishing overall. Though it may be a good way to keep people under control.

Give that there are free stressers/booters , and reasonable prices to rent a DDoS cloud.... https://stresser.su/#pricing

1. What are you doing to prevent DDoS's from hitting your network?

2. Why do customers have to allow an unlimited credit burden to use services?

3. Why arent there cost controls to "if $$ exceeds X, shut acct down"? Azure can do this.

Long story short, why are you by default (except for social media escalation) passing fraud costs to customers?
I posted upthread, but another concern is that stray particulate is an ignition source. Rocket fuel pumps are ~100,000 hp, and that energy is put into kinetic energy of the fluid flow. A stray particulate can cause the metal pump and fuel lines to burn in the presence of O2 at 300 atmospheres.

Clojure: spec Guide
This whole thread is missing the fact that the NTSB had a theory that transparency leads to safer airplanes, they tried it, and it works. People hesitate to self-report when it comes with punishment (fines, demotions, or just loss of face among peers). You need a formal “safe space” where early reporting is rewarded and late reporting is discouraged.

Safety is a lot about trust, and there is more than one kind of trust. At a minimum: are you capable of doing this thing I need you to do? Will you do this thing I need you to do?
There is a possibility of doing it. Or better said I had an idea the last few months on how to possibly do this. I have written a detailed explanation here if anybody wants to see it:

https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/why-did-nobody-do-this-d...

The idea basically is to block all ip's which weren't resolved by the dns server in past specific time period (for example in the last 3 minutes). So all static ip's would be blocked by default. When a domain get's resolved by the dns server, the ip address gets to the whitelist for a specific amount of time.

There is some issues. For example if somebody downloads something, the ip address might only get resolved once but the download happens by directly connecting to the ip address. But I think these issues are definitely solvable.

Would be interested to hear other peoples thoughts on this.

edit: of course this is for home network filtering purposes. If governments did this we are not in a good position.
No, not really. Not really what attorneys do. There might be collections agencies interested in recovering the debt, but if it's some rando guy who doesn't have the money, even that is open to debate.

I mean I'm not familiar with every debt collection scenario under the sun but Internet randos seem to think this is a real thing where like a cloud/hosting company sends an army of lawyers to repo some guy's house and runs him into bankruptcy because of a traffic overage. I've never seen it work that way, what happens like with most business debts, is someone at the company negotiates with the debtor to try and get as much out of them as they can, and failing that, possibly refers it to a collections agency which does the same but plays a bit more hardball.

In the case here with Netlify even before it went viral they reduced the amount from $104K to $5K, no lawyers, collectors or repo men involved, and while I'd hate to be stuck with that $5K bill, I dunno, that does feel closer to the mark of something that maybe you should be on the hook for if you're responsible for 200 TB of bandwidth overage over 4 days? Is this so bad on the part of Netlify?

All that said I'll just add that I've never given my credit card to any sort of host/cloud who had terms where they could bill unlimited overage fees like this. Never will unless there's a cap. Not Netlify not AWS not nobody. That goes for my personal life as well as for the business I operate. The terms is the terms and the answer is to not use these services unless you can afford them imho.
I used to think the same, but I’m not sure sure anymore after having a Honda CRV completely die on me last year when it was ~5 years old, well maintained, and lightly driven. It may have been the electronics design that prevented any mechanics from being able to diagnose what was wrong. There was a recall on the air compressor that might have contributed. Can’t be sure, but the electrical systems all stopped functioning due to an unknown problem. We tried to have it serviced over and over again, paid to replace many parts that were not the cause and did not fix anything, only to have the issue persist and then one day (on the way to the shop for another service) the timing belt melted and took out a number of other parts with it. After $5k in repairs, it ran fine for a few weeks and then the electronics shut down again over an unknown problem. Honda at least recognized this was design failure and ended up covering some of the repair costs, but I couldn’t get rid of this lemon fast enough.

Personally, I suspect we’ve recently entered a new age of cars that depend on electronics much much more heavily than before, and that we do not have great data yet on the reliability of these software systems, and that Japanese mechanical engineering advantages of yesteryear don’t necessarily mean they have good software, nor does it compete with bad software.
This is something I really like about Nearly Free Speech.net. Their model is that you deposit funds up front, and they will deduct from those funds as you use services. It helps that they actually are nearly free so that a single $20 deposit can last for months or years in many cases.

It's bizarre to me that more services don't support billing this way, since there are tons of situations where I would much rather have a site or service go down than be hit with a surprise bill and have to depend on social media and magnanimous corporate PR.

Linux and most projects will just compile straight with few dependencies or have the dependencies as submodules.

> Anyone even little serious about gaming will get a dedicated GPU

I wonder if they could cool down a desert; let's say, make nuclear reactors and plant them on the edge of Sahara, and do one thing with them: desalinate water from the sea; use the water to irrigate large portions of the desert, and plant them with bamboo; this will cool the desert, sequester CO2, and have global influence on the climate warming.

Back on the envelope calculations: 3.5 kWh/m^3 to desalinate water, 10 nuclear reactors, 1sq meter for a bamboo plant, you can water and grow 5.5 billion bamboo plant; let's say each plant fixes 10kg of CO2 per year, you reduce 10% of world's emissions in one clean sweep, for a total investment of maybe 100 billion USD

Researchers show Reddit users caused the famous GameStop 'short squeeze'
Do you think this would stop at the big boys like Facebook and Twitter?

What about Reddit? If I post a story in r/AITAH that the other person discovers, this opens Reddit up to a possible libel lawsuit if the other person thinks I'm not being truthful. Do you think that's a risk that Reddit's legal department will let them take? I highly doubt it. Do you think unpaid volunteer mods want to be legally liable if they remove a post for violating guidelines?

Let's go another level deeper, your neighborhood's Nextdoor forum. If Susan from down the road starts saying I slept with her husband to bad mouth me on the app, I could not just sue Susan for libel, but I can also include Nextdoor in the lawsuit. Do you think Nextdoor's legal team will allow that? Again, nope. But Nextdoor wouldn't be able to remove Susan's post because it would be "silencing her freedom of speech". So instead, Nextdoor takes the logical legal decision to completely remove any user-generated posts, effectively killing their product.

And another level deeper, some random classic car forum with maybe 100 users per month. What do they do? I think you get the hint.

This isn't just going to affect social media platforms. This will affect all platforms that allow users to post in any capacity, text, photos, videos, links, etc.
I think I've read in on Acoup blog somewhere, it's not a given that ancients had PTSD. E.g. Roman writers complain a lot about all aspects of warfare from fear to tedium, so it's not like they are trying to hide their supposedly then-socially-inappropriate feelings, but they never write about PTSD; it might just be a modern phenomenon.

One theory is that warfare was seen as inherently good and proper, "normal" occupation until very recently.

My company is big enough to have a legal department. (I'm the tech counterpart/coordinator with legal for open-source topics, whether its us open-sourcing code we work on, contributing to existing open-source, or consuming open-source.) We license under Apachev2, and we readily use LGPL & GPL v2/v3 with a quick review, and have very specific and much more thorough review processes for AGPL.

I'm quite sure that I don't work for the only such company.
Yeah true. governments shouldn't filter. But you definitely want to filter tracking, ads, malware etc in your home network.
I'm not sure which one will kill us first: forever chemicals, nanoplastics, or global warming.
As someone who switched to a heat pump recently, you should know "your mileage may vary." Don't confuse physical efficiency for cost efficiency. In many places, natural gas is still more cost efficient, even if it isn't as efficient in terms of physics.
Once upon a time, I ran an open source project that accepted both donations and paid subscriptions, with similar benefits offered for both (larger quotas on the hosted service). A small amount of donations trickled in from time to time, usually from individuals. But most companies, both corporations and sole proprietors, chose the paid subscription. Even at a higher cost. After a while, I scrapped the donation option entirely. I own a business, not a charity, after all.

Lesson: Unless you're registered as a 501(c), or an organization with similar status in your jurisdiction, don't even think of accepting "donations" from anyone who retains an accountant. It just doesn't work that way, open source or not.
If the host's first reveal is randomly chosen, when you get down to two doors left each of them has a 1/3 chance of containing the car. Thus switching, at this point, is a 50-50 proposition. Or 1/3 to 1/3 if that makes more sense. Switching is the advantageous move only when the host always reveals a zonk first, and that's why it does in fact matter "how the TV show operates."

Another show, Deal or No Deal, often came down to 2 suitcases (from an initial 26), one of which was worth a six-figure amount and the other a tiny amount. Something like $200,000 vs $500. The logic of the Monty Hall problem would suggest that since the player had 1/26 chance of initially choosing $200,000, they should switch suitcases at the end. But because all 24 previous reveals were random, there is actually no advantage to doing so.
I think you are misreading my comment as something I believe. It isn’t, I just have been around long enough to know how companies think.
Not just popular, ubiquitous. The competitors you mention are promptly bought out by the big players, or they are massive companies themselves whos policies are indistinguishable from their competition. It's unfortunate but the network effect means everyone will coalesce to where everyone else already is, forming what is in my opinion a de-facto 'public square'. Public discourse in general becomes shaped by corporate editorial policy, to such a degree that these policies could decide the outcome of elections. On paper its a private company exercising their prerogative, in practice its corporate power being used to shape public opinion and control narratives on a scale never before seen, and its effect on our general discourse has been chilling to say the least

As for the government starting its own public forum, it would meet the same fate as every other big tech competitor. I wouldn't be surprised if they got bought out.
The person you’re replying to probably assumed (as I did) that the article was about papaya, which is called pawpaw in some parts of the world. They will probably be relieved (as am I) to find out it’s about an unrelated fruit.
We decided to install a cold climate central ducted heat pump system, operating down to -20 F and swapped from wood to pellet stoves in our fireplaces. We didn't have AC previously, and got too old to haul wood around. We can run the heat pump on the coldest days but burning biomass is cheaper and has a nice ambiance. Does wonders for humidity in the summer time too!

The chart and table in that article are confusing. They seem to indicate that if a city has botanical gardens, wetlands, green walls, street trees, balconies, permeable paving, woodlands, playgrounds, adopted public spaces, and mixed biomes, the air temperature would be reduced by 35°C. If so, I'm prepared to ban all these things to prevent our cities from becoming frozen hellscapes.
