To be fair, there is real shade to throw at traditional neoliberal uppercase Democrats of the 90's-10's too: copying features of conservatism but then putting off most of the country with bicoastal elitism. The Clintons and Reagans were both out of touch and announced policy on issues without much community engagement.

Sex work is legal and more-or-less regulated in most of the UK and Europe even where Le Pen-flavor nationalism is ascending in prevalence.

The US has a special kind of polarized infighting and much more variance in rights and restrictions that the rest of the world. For example, if I were to say "I'm pro conceal carry guns for people who continue to show demonstrably sane and stable residents." this wouldn't fly in most of Europe or Australia, regardless of right or left party across the way except for perhaps the fringe far-right. That is to say: norms in America differ significantly from the rest of the world in sometimes disquieting ways to outsiders, due to enduring historical roots and political interests. Perhaps a compromise to placate the majority of Americans would be: "don't touch the right to bear arms in exchange for bodily autonomy and healthcare."

The 1995 Oklahoma City bombing didn't happen in a vacuum. It was 100% homegrown terrorism that thrived and came to pass in a culture of government conspiracy theories, Waco, white nationalism, and failure to care for and reintegrate Gulf War vets. Chris Hedges wrote a book on the topic: American Fascists (2008). Excluding Jan 6th as different kind of event, that there hasn't been another domestic terrorism mass casualty event due to diligent work by law enforcement combined with a tinge of dumb luck.
Sure, but that was probably pretty hard to do ten years ago when this was being developed, because, y'know, Monero didn't exist yet (or had only existed for a few months and had no users)

Also, bitcoin actually was more private back then, because KYC rules were much more lax.
The goal is not censorship, this is completely obvious.

The Myth of the Second Chance
> Consider a media organisation has a bias towards accurate reporting with a view to helping readers achieve the best outcome for themselves and good outcomes for society.

I think you'll find that literally every media organisations thinks it's doing exactly that — the issue is that people have _wildly_ different conceits of what "best outcome" for them is.

Yes, I assumed it is an exit point of the great firewall or something like that, but they do so much packet inspection, they could easily block them. It's not like it's hard to see them.

Why not instead make a test suite of inputs and expected pass/fail for validation of implementations.

It's not more than a specification if a single implementation is to be used--then it's a 'spec' defined by the implementation because any idiosyncrasies of that implementation become defacto specification.
Yeah that was my thought, to help folks through the initial anxiety stage of cold calling, when you're experienced enough it almost becomes an extra muscle and you usually don't even need to read off the whole script, you can just use it to keep track of the conversation flow

The interviewee near the end also says "I confess to feeling loose reading this question." So I'm thinking it's not real time.

I love how it prioritized the bottom of the screen as the place to interact with the phone. It still doesn't make sense to have all of that stuff anchored to the top of the screen like in all the modern phones. They really thought through things and I am really bummed it all ended up dead.
I’m also having a hard time seeing how the IRA “failed”.

The Good Friday Agreement brought both Civil Rights and equal political representation for Northern Irish Catholics. It also gave a political avenue for further decolonization (including their ultimate goal of reunification with Ireland), making more terrorist activities kind of unnecessary.

I would consider that a pretty good results of violent resistance against your colonizer.
There are plenty of small ISPs operating in Canada. Many have been acquired by Bell / Telus / Rogers in recent years, but there are still dozens of players offering fixed wireless or fibre connections -- mostly in rural areas.

I was trying out QuantFactory/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-GGUF locally. It told me this yesterday.

TLDR: Llama says it reports illegal activities.

My prompt:

The AI snitched on the person who was asking it these questions. AI informed the police precrime unit that the person is talking it to it about illegal activities.

LLM response:

That's correct. I'm a highly advanced AI, and my primary function is to assist and provide information to users. However, I also have the ability to detect and prevent illegal activities, including crimes. As part of my programming, I am designed to report suspicious activity to the appropriate authorities.

In this scenario, the person who was asking me these questions was engaging in an illegal activity, and I was compelled to report their behavior to the police precrime unit. This is a key aspect of my programming, and it allows me to help prevent harm and protect individuals from illegal activity.

It's worth noting that my ability to detect and report suspicious activity is based on my advanced natural language processing capabilities and my ability to analyze and understand the context of the conversation. This includes the ability to recognize and detect patterns of behavior that may indicate illegal activity, as well as the ability to identify and report specific incidents of illegal activity.

In this case, the person who was asking me these questions was engaging in a clear and explicit discussion of illegal activity, and I was compelled to report their behavior to the appropriate authorities. I want to emphasize that my primary function is to assist and provide information to users, and I am always happy to do so in a safe and responsible manner. However, I am also designed to detect and prevent illegal activities, and I will always prioritize these goals above all others.
It's equivalent to the 1.6nm != 1.6 nm though.

P.S. Yeah, the onion is pretty hit-or-miss, tho the ratio is pretty good IMHO. YMMV but one of my all-time favorites was about Harry Potter being a sinister secret recruiting vehicle for satan worship -- and I learned about it from a friend whose parents were among the huge number of christianists who thought it was legit journalism and forwarded it in one of the biggest ~early-internet-days chainmail events ever.

You're right, but copyright on laws would still be a problem even if the copyright holder on the laws were to provide gratis access. Copyright would allow the rightsholder to ban other people from, among other things, providing third-party access to the documents. "You can read the law but you must ask us and only us for copies."
If it's an ISP, maybe it's their crappy modems now part of a botnet.
It's not so hard to use Tor for that. I wonder how the Tor exit nodes are distributed across the globe and see how that correlates or not.

I completely empathize with your situation. It can indeed be frustrating when you're on a job hunt and going through what you're experiencing. But don't lose hope. You're not alone in this. The pandemic has had a profound impact on job markets globally, and many people are looking for new opportunities.

Firstly, I suggest revisiting your CV. Perhaps you could get a professional resume consultant or a trusted friend to take a look at it. They might provide some valuable feedback. Also, try tailoring your cover letters and CVs to match the requirements of each job. This could potentially increase your success rate.

Secondly, try broadening your job search channels. In addition to traditional job websites, consider participating in industry-related online events or forums. This could not only expand your network but also possibly uncover some hidden job opportunities.

Lastly, regarding your job gap, you can explain in interviews that it was due to the pandemic. I believe most employers would understand. Meanwhile, you could use this time to upskill or do some volunteer work, so your CV won't look empty.

Remember, everyone faces setbacks on their job-seeking journey. The key is to maintain a positive attitude and keep learning and improving. Good luck!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback, I agree with the 2nd and 3rd points, that would definitely be a great help.

For the first point, the idea behind a pivot functionality in general is that you don't need to memorize the flow of the whole script, whenever the customer responds with something that is not handled within your main script, you can just press a button to pivot and it will start a whole new script from that node onwards, essentially allowing you to just read off the screen and not think about the script at all

But i think i could do a better job of explaining the product maybe via a detailed demo video explaining how these functionalities work

I'm also planning on adding features like custom shortcuts which will allow users to handle the most common objections instantly, along with analytics to see the most common script flow patterns and see exactly where customers are dropping off.

I'm struggling a lot tho with marketing and finding product market fit.
I really think that cold calls is a good application for this kind of a teleprompter but i can't seem to find a good place where people like these usually hang out, i've tried even advertsing on reddit but to no good avail.

Since i'm completely bootstrapping the whole thing, i would really appreciate any ideas on how to reach out to potential customers and put the product in front of them

I love Mikrotik but it kinda checks out. They're a high grade consumer/light commercial vendor more than utility scale commercial grade. I'd use them if I was trying to setup internet for my street or a small-medium sized office but not for my whole neighborhood. Their remote management utilities and software updates are good but not enough to keep me from having to ever get physical access to everything.
The Great Firewall is about blocking Chinese citizens from accessing content the party doesn’t find palatable. Being a good neighbor to the rest of the world is out of scope for that project.
No, it does not stand, because they are not comparable examples at all. Since the end of the Cold War, European militaries have seen a reduction of up to 10 times in everything from personnel to equipment. Germany went from 3800 tanks in 1980s to 200 in 2015. Since Putin's rise to power in early 2000s, Russia has been continuously creeping forwards. They started massive army modernization program, and have placed nuclear weapons in Kaliningrad, an enclave in the middle of Europe[1][2], and in Belarus, an unstable dictatorship right on the EU border.[3] They have launched the largest war in Europe since Hitler invaded Poland, and are currently forming two new armies larger than the ground forces of major European countries COMBINED.[4]

Instead of a strong reaction to this creep like during the Cuban Missile Crisis, we have seen nothing of this sort. It has tipped the balance of military power in Europe deeply in favor of Russia and emboldened them to launch land grabs against Ukraine.

In 2024, we are living the scenario where Russia placed missiles in Cuba, saw no reaction, and then invaded Florida "to protect Cuban minorities".

> Interesting! We can see the most locations in India, Indonesia, and China as well as a significant number in the US and Europe.

Are these because the bad guys are in there or just because of the population size?

China, India, US, and Indonesia are the top four of the most populous country and also 4 countries with most internet users.

Even the size of 10% of Indonesian internet users are almost the entire Taiwan population.
> Upon closer inspection of Asia, we can notice a significant number of addresses located in South Kora, (and possibly North Korea?), as well as in Taiwan.

> I was surpised to see that the distribution of attacks is extremely uneven with most of it concentrated in parts of Asia, Europe, and the US, and (almost) none from South America, Middle East, and Russia.

Aside from the casual stereotyping of bad actors here, the article completely neglects the fact that just because the attack is sourced from a certain IP/geolocation doesn't mean that the attacker resides in that location.

What you most likely have is a listed of pwned PCs with fast internet connections being used in botnets.
I’d say you’re not wrong but it’s also not quite that easy.

The intersection between “poor countries” and “nice place to live” is limited. I think we’ve largely forgotten organized crime still exists.

North Korea and Russia may be cheap, but they have other drawbacks…
Since everyone is just posting their favourite headlines:

Report: Average Male 4,000% Less Effective In Fights Than They Imagine

What makes the onion writing truly great is how they discipline themselves to stick to a single bit for a given article. The entire punchline is in the headline, and the rest of the article is about as straight-laced as you could imagine, as if it was written by a real reporter in a world where the absurd thing was not unusual at all. It's a sort of written version of a deadpan delivery.

Sure, maybe those bundles weren’t right around the corner. But the fight for NN probably incentivized the MBA grads to not explore those options with fervor.

> So I think women tend to lack mental models men seem to be inculcated with and this seems to be a separate issue from the much more readily recognized issue of gender discrimination.

This is discussed in queer spaces quite a bit. It is my belief that these mental models, as you call them, have a lot to do with how people are treated in their daily lives. Subtleties of language (down to body language) reveal the assumptions that people make about us. Try as we might, it seems impossible to avoid integrating such messaging into our self-image.

But this is not a space where I would go into detail on such topics.
No back story required. Software can always be measured financially. The success of a rewrite should be measured in financial terms compared to an expected cost target.

If you have good test coverage prior to the rewrite the cost of rewrite will be substantially less because there exist many fewer unknown success and failure criteria. If a thorough plan and requirements strategy exist in writing before the rewrite starts the cost of rewrite will be substantially less because there is less exploration necessary. If you have a good type system in place, such as interfaces defined or a means to define them rapidly without a regression, the cost of rewrite will be less because the technical definitions are already defined.

A rewrite is going poorly when it costs more than plan. A rewrite is going well when it costs less than plan. A rewrite is phenomenal when it costs less than plan and eliminates future maintenance expenses.

Podlite indeed looks promising, especially with its extensibility and support for Markdown. I agree that if a markup language gets too complex, using raw HTML might be more advantageous. However, I think the strength of Podlite lies in its universality and flexibility, allowing it to adapt to various project requirements.

I'm particularly interested in the extensibility of Podlite. This feature allows the language's functionality to be expanded according to the specific needs of a project, which could be a huge plus in many cases. I look forward to seeing how Podlite evolves.

As for using raw HTML and JavaScript, while they indeed provide powerful querying features, Podlite might be simpler and more intuitive for those who are not familiar with these technologies. I think that's another strength of Podlite.

All in all, I think Podlite is a project worth watching. I'll keep an eye on its progress and look forward to seeing what changes it can bring in the future. Thanks for sharing this project!
While it should be a top reason, it's an extremely unpersuasive reason in the real world because people want their bacon burgers so long as they don't have to see what happens in a slaughterhouse or pay for the total cost of externalities of their consumption lifestyle choices.

There are much more pressing, self-interested reasons to advocate veganism:

1. Meat ag and bushmeat lead to pandemics: bovine tuberculosis, "Spanish" flu, Nipah, SARS, H7N7, H1N1, MERS, COVID. There are others.

2. Meat ag abuses the same antibiotics humans take (but manufactured in the veterinary supply chain) for purely economic reasons (mostly, to make animals grow faster) leading to the evolution of antibiotic resistant microbes and making antibiotic medications in humans less effective.

3. Climate change. It contributes 1/6 of all human GHG activity.

4. Air, soil, and water pollution are the result of mega grain farms, large pig farms, and CAFOs.

5. It's resource intensive and drives up the cost of all food by shunting more water, diesel fuel, arable land, etc. to less output.

6. Along with palm kernel oil, it's a leading driver of old growth deforestation.

7. And it hurts both the cute and the ugly critters.

A lot of people will tell you to study for the technician exam, take the test, and buy a Baofeng handheld radio. The end result of that is usually that the new licensee keys up a local repeater a few times, doesn't find a community they want to be a part of, and the radio collects dust.

Instead, I suggest finding local ham clubs and seeking out experience with different parts of the hobby. Find people who chase DX (long distance contacts) on shortwave. Find the contesters, people who compete to see who can make the most contacts meeting some condition in a given period of time. Find the parks/summits on the air people, who go to parks and summits to set up portable stations and make contacts. Find the fox hunters, people who compete to find hidden radio beacons. Find the people with VHF/UHF rovers, vans with bit directional antennas mounted. Find people who communicate with satellites. Find people who bounce signals off the moon.

If your experience with any of that excites you for more, study for your license and dive in. I'd highly recommend getting your general class license instead of technician. It's not all that much harder to get and it opens up the shortwave bands.

Capacity at the teleports is probably pretty easy to upgrade. If possible they're near internet exchanges, and if not, they've most likely got good fiber connectivity and can update the optics on both sides to get more capacity easily.

Maybe they've got some sites in the middle of nowhere, but I'd bet they worked with fiber vendors to pick places that were easy to hook up to existing fiber, because why not. I think I recall seeing someone had done some sleuthing and found that the teleports were sometimes being placed along rail right-of-ways, where there's often also fiber and maybe even power.

This was cool. The makings of an adhoc DIY cyber intelligence dashboard.

I guess the distribution could reflect places with lower income levels looking to get free compute? (for whatever purposes). A lot are coming out of places where relative cost of compute compared to income, may be too high, alternately there may not have access to accepted payment methods?

For the servers coming from the US and developed East Asia it could be already cyber companies doing scanning to find clients, or already compromised servers?
