I have been watching this with considerable interest since I first learnt about it.

I personally have never had ANY cavities so things have worked out well for me but there are multiple family members with enamel hypoplasia so I would be interested in knowing if this could be a solution.

Disclaimer: I have zero financial interest but I would love to see this actually work. I do have that odd feeling of distrust as I read through the responses so definitely wary.

That said, this is what I've seen cremieux claim so far in response to some of the questions that others have in the comments.

Registrars will do what the registries say. Registries typically implement DNSSEC even w/o state mandates. I expect that root and TLD zones would support SCTs eventually. I also expect that there are not many MITM attacks in DNSSEC by nation-states.

The single most important thing here is QName minimization because it will force MITMing zones to commit to being and staying in the middle early, and that's very risky for them. QName minimization does come at a price: extra DNS round trips, though most of those will be very cacheable and have high cache hit rates, but cold caches hurt.

Disclosure: I am not a GitLab team member, but I am part of the community "GitLab Core team". This is purely hypothetical. I have zero knowledge of anything internal to GitLab. Having said that.

I think it could be really good to have a company like GitLab either acquire PenPot to integrate it into their platform, or build a really tight embedded integration with the service.

You would have designers and developers using the same platform to manage things from both initial idea (Epics/Issues), through the design process (integrated PenPot), and then into the development of the feature (Issues/Merge Requests). This would give everything really tight integration and make moving between the different stages of the SDLC really smooth. I'd imagine the designs having their own git repo too, it wouldn't need to be exposed to the designers, but would give a nice easy way to export the data, view it locally, and move it into another product if needed.

I find sadly amusing the argument that kids need their phones in school in case of emergency.

If the kid has an emergency, the teacher can call the parents. If the parents are having an emergency, the can call the school.

With MS-BASIC on CP/M, if you saved the file using lowercase, BASIC would not upshift it, and the CPP commands could not act of the resulting files.

You’d have to fix it by removing the file within BASIC using the built in command (KILL I think) then saving it in uppercase.

Can’t say MS considered it a bug or simply chose to not fix it for backward compatibility. It existed in quite late versions.

The "Dollar Milkshake" theory is simply something I found to be a plausible response to the inflation doom predictions of the 2008 cycle.

I did look for a concise text summary before posting the video. They didn't capture the full concept. Here's Google's infobox:

>The milkshake theory basically holds that there simply aren't enough US dollars created to keep up with the rising demand. And when the greenback rises high enough and fast enough to lead to defaults abroad, the demand for dollars swirls up and its supply shrinks, leading to an epic squeeze higher.
It's one of those special purpose devices that predated the stored-program general purpose electronic automatic digital computer. It was a key-tester, like a Bitcoin miner, not a general-purpose machine. It belongs to the era of "if only we had a good memory device". Eckert, at Columbia University, had been wiring together compute elements from IBM tabulators from the 1930s onward to get basic automatic computation. He went on to develop the UNIVAC I in the 1950s.
But things were kind of stuck on stored-program computing until somebody developed a useful memory device in which to store the program. Delay lines and Williams tubes were the first successes.

- Automatic electronic digital computer, but not general purpose or stored program - Colossus.

- General purpose automatic digital computer, but not stored program or electronic - Harvard Mark I,

- General-purpose electronic automatic digital computer, but not stored-program - ENIAC.

- Automatic general-purpose computer, but not digital or stored program - Bush Differential Analyzer.

There were many other special-purpose machines from that era that never quite made it to the general purpose computer stage. Teleregister [1] made special purpose systems for railroads, airlines, and the military.

Stranger danger and school shootings never really happened outside the U.S., and this is not an America-specific problem.

I think phones got through the "back door". When the first cell phones came around, not many kids took them to school, but the only thing they could actually use them for was contacting their friends/parents during breaks, so there was no reason to ban them. A Gameboy was specifically an entertainment device, an old cell phone was more like a flashlight or a watch, something which could presumably be used as a toy, but usually was not.

Then, cell phones got cheaper, more kids got them, but they also got more advanced. In the feature phone era, a lot of kids had phones already, but the balance of genuine communication versus amusement was still leaning towards communication. This changed very rapidly, and at a time where phones in schools were already ubiquitous, though their use in class might not have been.

I wonder if there is a sort of "confident programming" alternative.

Sort of "play to win" instead of "play to not lose"

I imagine confidently coding and doing stuff like:

instead of:

if(count < 0) {

// etc...
}
Ha, I suppose as expected.
Why would .US or .IO support mandatory SCTs? These domains are under de jure control of governments that routinely subvert the DNS for intelligence and criminal justice reasons. It's not like the CA's volunteered to do mandatory CT: they had to get dragged into it, because Mozilla and Chrome could credible threaten to dis-trust them. They can't do that with the DNS.
I don't think what they did was wrong at all.

They were serving their city, they have every right to be housed by it and not be priced out by greedy landlords.
Sure, it's just that citing the batteries max power seems very misleading. This article mentions: "13 GW of battery storage capacity [...] 3 GW of natural gas additions" - so one might think that solar + battery is can power more houses than gas.

And in reality, that's not the case at all. 3GW of natural gas can power (approximately) 2.5 million houses continuously. How many houses can 13 GW of battery (+ whatever amount of solar to charge them fully every day) can power? Probably way less than that, given that even in the summer, there are at least 12 hours every day when solar panels don't produce enough power.
Sorry for the short answer but the rest of us who weren't glued to our phones were impacted too. You know how hard it is to gain meaningful friendship in a nihilistic, dopamine and scrolling-addicted environment?

When we was teenagers we had unrestricted broadband access to the internet but what was missing was the constant comparison hellhole like Instagram that is causing mental illness.

WaReZ, KaZaA, Ogrish, CD-Keys, drugs, weapon making tutorials, Mail-order-drugs. This was the wild west days of the internet. You could literally put up anything you could sell anything and everything. Classmates were downloading roms, porn, warez, emulators and selling it on CDs. One kid would hack for hire. A black market of sorts was born out of the basketball court. No verification and adults didnt know how to handle it other than installing spyware which we quickly knew how to disable at school.

We would play basketball after middle school and talk about all the crazy stuff we found on the internet. The most disturbing memories were of my classmates talking about snuff films coming out of the second Chechen War (1999), beheadings, crazy stuff . We would always try to out do one another.

Some of us even successfully manipulated our parents to watch porn ("dad i think i like boys i think i need to watch straight porn")

You have hundreds of varieties of bacteria in your mouth, many of which already make ethanol.

I suppose the idea is that this is legal to sell in the US based on its categorization as a probiotic?

FM radio using the 3.5mm jack has nothing to do with the jack itself. You could make a USB-C to 3.5mm jack that does FM radio reception too… or any long cord. The reality is nobody (comparatively) wants FM radio anymore. They barely did when it was released. With widespread data plans you can just stream it via the internet, it’s more convenient, it sounds better, and reception isn’t an issue indoors or in bad signal areas.

I will attempt to at least inject some hope into this discussion.

My formative years from ages 15-25 were spent in the 80's and 90's. It was the apex of the mall experience. We saw the mall as a place to get away from our parents, hang out with our buds, run into other classmates and feel some sense of freedom while running amok playing video games in the arcade and chowing down tacos in the food court.

Then smartphones and the internet came and all the malls started closing up, dying off and there was an entire generation that just ignored or forgot about them. Most of the malls around where I live have all but closed.

There are still a few open and now? They're thriving. My family now goes together on the weekends and its amazing. All the teenagers are in the food court, in their groups, talking, eating and socializing. You see groups of teens wondering in and out of the stores. I see a very similar cultural revolution happening and its really refreshing. The mall is truly a phoenix rising from its once former ashes. The major anchor stores are constantly busy no matter what night you go there. The movie theater is busy almost every night and its packed on the weekends. Its like an entire generation has re-discovered the mall again and its refreshing to see.

Sometimes I feel like I'm in a dream because so many other malls just north or south of us have either died and been leveled, or are in various forms of trying to reinvent themselves as something else before its too late.

Either way, what I saw in my experiences at our local mall gave me hope that the Zoomers are in some ways, taking a break from their phones and going out and having a different experience and returning to socializing with their friends and creating a new way of connecting with people they're close to. My son said he still uses his phone when he's at the mall, but just to make plans to meet his other buddies and coordinate where they're all going to meet up. For the most part, once they meet up, they all stop using their phones.

So yes, there is hope yet.

I think you know what I am talking about. Actual helmet usage. Wearing a helmet is safer than not wearing one.

If you look at the number of auto deaths 100 years ago it is lower than today. You can't use that ad proof that seatbelts cause deaths. Instead you have to look at other factors like the amount of drivers. With my helmet example you would look at lives saved from wearing the helmet.

Secondly, I've seen some studies (I think it was in the UK, but didn't feel like trying to find it) that showed people dying younger is actually more cost effective since older people have larger medical expenses.
> I think you need to understand that most people maybe had 16~32MB of system RAM on average circa 1999, while Windows 2000 ideally wanted at least a staggering 128MB as just a sysreq recommendation.

I do understand. I was there. My personal PCs from that time had 16MB (a getting old AMD 5x86 133) and 32MB (Celeron 300A w/ the 450Mhz "mod"), and I ran Linux and Windows 95/98 on them. I didn't get W2K at home until late 2001 and that was only because I splurged.

Windows 2000 was a ridiculous luxury item for home users at the time, but for business PCs it was a real winner. It was so much more stable than Windows 95/98. The "we build PCs" shop I worked at did a good job of convincing business Customers to spend the extra money for stability. Only a minority bit on the idea, but people definitely talked about seeing fewer reboots and better multitasking w/ the W2K machines. It helped sell itself.

(We also did least-privilege user accounts all the way back in the NT 4.0 days. "Cleaning up" the malware of the day was so easy because, by and large, you could just blow away the user's profile and start with a fresh registry. Since the user didn't have Administrator rights making machine-wide changes was "off limits" for most malware of the time.)

> The paradigm was that systems were large and reasonably well administered, basic trust was established at the host level, and the real problem was users.

Well, not quite. The problem was that all the orchestration code ("domain joining", etc.) just wasn't written in the 90s at all. Eventually several orchestration systems were written, with varying levels of functionality:

- Windows 2000 (orchestrates only machine account and SPN credentials)

- OSKT (https://github.com/elric1)

- Wallet (https://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/wallet/readme.html)

- FreeIPA

A proprietary implementation I'm familiar with uses Heimdal's "virtual service principal namespaces" to orchestrate service credentials with no KDC writes, making "Negotiate" Kerberos operationally indistinguishable from JWT bearer tokens in that system.

JWTs don't require a library or API, while Kerberos does. JWT is easy enough to implement using only a straightforward crypto library (though one should be super careful as it's very easy to accidentally not validate a JWT's signature!). Kerberos is not. Validated JWT claims are just JSON, and it's trivial enough to stuff extensions in there. Kerberos tickets are extensible enough, but getting at those extensions is a bear.

Article gets weird at the end. Says to listen to the Cochran reviews, and includes one that says "High fluoride toothpaste prevents carries" and then immediately writes there's no difference between brushing normally and using high-fluoride toothpaste.

Then wraps it up by trying to sell preorders for his own product.

Cochran is right.. high fluoride toothpaste works. Had half dozen cavities during my 20s a year apart, and finally found out about this from my dentist, and it immediately halted any progression. Not one cavity in 10 years since starting it. Ask your dentist.. its not even expensive. Just dont let your kids use it.
