Glad this is being written about. Too often non-profits get a pass on perceived altruism.

BLM in particular has been egregious. Not a single positive thing or a dollar has been spent to actually improve black neighborhoods but the leaders have enriched themselves.

artwork that was apolitical and relatively tame

there's no such a thing when your ideology is opposed to freedom. refusing to make art within the norms imposed by the state is an act of defiance and a political statement. putting that art on display would amount to political activism
I never think about gas. In 20 some years driving only once I ran into an empty gas station during an end of holiday weekend rush. I just drove to the next station and got gas there. I can drive around with less 1/4 tank knowing I can stop at gas station and in and out in 5 minutes with a full tank of gas.

We actually have an intern researcher working on a path towards an open source implementation of 802.11 for wifi 6 cards but do not have an ETA when our first proof of concept will be released.

We've also reported mac leaks to vendors -- we found stations would transmit packets with their non randomized state in certain scenarios, we'll blog about it when vendors release their fixes.

But more importantly I also want to say that I do not expect the MAC leaks are happening in most beacons & probe responses, which is what Apple and Google and others collect for their positional database with wi-fi SSIDs and BSSIDs. There's still ways to fingerprint, from digital fingerprints, to signal fingerprints unique to the radio and antennas and board, where machine learning can cluster and classify devices that are going to be very hard to anonymize for privacy.

Projects like https://www.nzyme.org/ actually apply fingerprinting techniques for defense to detect Rogue APs that could manifest in an actively attacked environment. They can pick up wifi implants as well as the Rogue AP attacks.
Meh. I don't believe you. I serious doubt a bit of money for black people is breaking the bank for a city the size of Seattle.
> Unauthorized usually actually means Unauthenticated

What does "unauthenticated" even mean here? You aren't logged in, not logged in isn't a state of "unauthenticated", you haven't given any credentials meaning currently you don't have any authority, so unauthorized makes sense. You can have several sets of credentials and switch between them, not giving them any isn't being in an unauthenticated state its a different thing, and using "unauthorized" in that case makes sense.

Those who need the features of RK3588 can compare it to competitors which are less open.

Those who don't need the features of RK3588 can use the older and fully open RK3399.
I must be missing something - what is the plausible deniability? If someone does a raw text dump of a pdf and gets the hundred new keywords, surely someone would recognize what you did?

Has anyone thought of doing something like this for Gitlab?

I'll browse the code and see how readily it could be converted over to working on Gitlab.... also, Gitlab has a GraphQL API available to get at various bits of data surrounding a repo.

I'm saying have an invisible blob in the PDF that wouldn't print out, but would still be in the metadata.

I don't think "humans" look at raw text dumps of PDFs do they? I mean, I don't know, when I've interviewed people I only looked at the rendered output. The goal would be to full the robots; for the visible text I would be complete honest.

Again, I never actually did it.
Non­profits that self-righteously declare themselves providers of homeless services actively lobby to make homelessness worse in order to increase their own funding

This is unfortunately all too true.

A primary root cause of homelessness is lack of affordable housing. We should be working towards policies and solutions that foster more "market rate" affordable housing, not affordable housing via government programs or nonprofit organizations.

Yet we seem to have all agreed to use octet, even for new documentation. I browsed the recent RFC submissions and had to stop looking as pretty much every one I checked that was posted this year uses octet. A few examples...

Let's Encrypt does try AAAA records first and then A. That's what leads to the phenomenon that I described where many people end up deciding to delete their AAAA records. :-(

I think Let's Encrypt's behavior is correct, and I don't think anyone inside Let's Encrypt or CA/B Forum would like to inflict "pain [...] on host and network operators" beyond the current practice. Let's Encrypt's current behavior could be described as cooperating with IPv6 adoption rather than compelling IPv6 adoption, which seems like a reasonable place for a certificate authority to be.

There are cases where Let's Encrypt has made choices that potentially slightly reduce compatibility in order to encourage what it considers technically correct behavior. The first one that comes to mind is

https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/adding-random-entries-to...

but I know there are others. On the other hand, all of those decisions can be justified in terms of improving the correctness of PKI software (like not hard-coding things that should not be hard-coded). I can't think of any example that's like "we wish this other technical thing would happen outside of the PKI, so we'll try to force it along", and I don't foresee the broader community getting comfortable with that.

Well you might view it like that, but to me our taxed money is earned by hard work and seeing it wasted on someone’s political goals or activism or grift is offensive to me. And the city doesn’t have money - it’s about to close like 20 schools because of it. And much of the city is ridden with potholes and missing basics like sidewalks. The police force is less than half the size it is supposed to be. The fire department is heavily staffed by volunteers.

I think that's a bit of an incorrect trope. Sure, there are people like that, but that's because they learned to strongly compensate for their issues. As a person with ADD, with significant "Jack of all trades" tech skills, and some experience with medication - ADD issues just hold me back. All the benefits are from learning to cope. Taking away just the issues makes me superhuman... but only for a few days, because meds have their problems too.

What I'm saying is basically: the good performance is from coping with issues, not from ADHD itself. There's a huge number of people who just struggle, that are ignored in this case.

What do you do when the “embezzlement” is supported by local elected leaders and not prosecuted by sympathetic / politically aligned city attorneys? There’s no real method to create accountability or enforce the law, and everyday people are too busy with work, family, etc to do anything much about it. That is if they even know it’s happening. That’s one problem with the death of local journalism and the general lack of time in everyone’s lives.
I’m not sure how profitable long videos like this are for the creator. Does YouTube count my minutes watched at half when I watch at 2x?

Thanks for the clarification. I was mainly thinking of server-side! :-)

On the client side there are apparently some subtleties about the DNS interaction if you want to literally have IPv6-only on the clients (as opposed to IPv4 CGN). If the clients do anything to not trust their ISP's view of DNS (like DNSSEC enforcement, or using DoH and an outside resolver), the ISP can't fool them into thinking that they should connect to an IPv6 address for a service that, from the point of view of the Internet as a whole, is actually IPv4-only.

"hacked"? More like "used"
The problem with these supposedly local, private web apps on other people’s domains is that they can start stealing your data any time the page is refreshed. The author can turn malicious (or was malicious to begin with), they can sell the app or let the domain expire, or they can be hacked. The only way to prevent that is to firewall/null route that domain entirely after initial load and audit, and then you can’t ever refresh the page.

The web platform simply doesn’t allow you to verify the checksum of an app and reject all further requests.
Isn't this an indictment of the profitization of healthcare, rather than an argument for increasing it by paying people to donate organs?

Selling organs sounds ghoulish and horrible to most people for a reason. They likely don't realize that's exactly what's happening behind the scenes - if they did, they'd think that was ghoulish and horrible as well.

OK, you have rules for what is and is not Lisp. Rules different from yours are wrong. Gotcha!

I think that the lack of an interactive experience is not necessarily a deal breaker. We could have a Lisp implementation which compiles to an executable image which doesn't run until uploaded to a target. This could use an existing dialect like Common Lisp or Scheme and be used by Lisp programmers to deploy some of their existing programs.

If you were to fix your rules to be more inclusive, it would be more consistent with your diversity rhetoric. (Not saying you should do anything; your rules are your business.)
Were they just “BLM activists” or did they hold actual power in a BLM org? Only the latter seems relevant
The more subtle problem here is actually the idea of governments giving public money to nonprofits at all. The government doesn't need to be involved in this; the non-profit is already providing the organisational oomph to work out what needs to be done where and pooling contributor's funds. But the government's contribution here is organisation and pooling funding, so there is massive redundancy in mission.

The only thing the government is providing is compulsorily forcing people to pay into the pool. So the fact that money is being spent on things that people wouldn't willingly commit to is actually the only feature of this system. IE, it is less unexpected than the author may believe.
It seems like you're veering into a different topic with the assertion that West Bank is an apartheid system. If we're talking about Gaza still, Hamas is the de facto government there, having won the election and the subsequent war. The PLO's declaration and aspirational claim of Gaza doesn't change the reality of Hamas' rule.

From a moral perspective, it seems like you're saying the ICJ would be a better arbiter of morality than Israel, but my point didn't involve an appeal to any authority; that just doesn't seem necessary when discussing morality.
"xAI is primarily focused on the development of advanced AI systems that are truthful, competent, and maximally beneficial for all of humanity. The company's mission is to understand the true nature of the universe."

This makes "the 'true' nature of universe" a particularly amusing usage.
I loved his book (the Humane Interface). I even used ideas from it to create RFPs for a client, and was able to better critique ideas.

Not having modes is still a big deal for me. Getting lost in menus and "not being able to get back" was something I dealt with a lot, and having this spell out my frustrations was very helpful.

That said, he really loved the interface of the Canon Cat; I had no idea what it was when it existed, and I only know of it through Wikipedia.

For now it's a trade off. Besides the Volt which is my wife's daily driver, we also own a Mazda CX-9.

They're both about 7 years old now. My wife's Volt has 80K miles and has been to the gas station only a handful of times because 95% of my wife's driving fits within its 50 mile all-electric range. Literally just on the rare road trip she takes does she need to gas it. Meanwhile my CX-9 with half the mileage (I work from home) has visited the gas station a hundred or more times. Plus the additional maintenance that it has as an ICE vehicle over the Volt which isn't even pure electric.

But yes, we use the CX-9 for our yearly family road trip of 650 miles because for me, I like to stop, gas and go. But not everyone has my driving stamina or willingness to sit in a car w/o a longer break. So for them, having to spend 30+ minutes charging an electric car might not be an inconvenience at all.

A few years ago I swapped out my gas mower for an Ego electric mower. Despite having had a top-of-the line Honda, I don't miss an ICE mower at all. And I don't have a tiny lot or easy to cut grass either. I'm in NC with a thick fescue lawn that takes me 45+ minutes to mow. The Ego has no trouble with it.

Recently I was at a hotel and bumped into another guest with a Chevy Bolt. I think he said it had about 200 miles range. I asked him if that was an issue, but it turns out with his wife and dogs, he couldn't drive more than a couple hours at a time w/o taking a break anyway. So for him the vehicle fit his lifestyle and it was no compromise or inconvenience at all. Meanwhile the hotel had an on-site charger he could use.

At the end of the day we've spent 120 years building our lives and infrastructure around ICE vehicles. Electric vehicles have only been on the scene for what, 20 years now? So using electric vehicles in an ICE world requires compromises in some situations. But even since I purchased the Volt 7 years ago the equation has changed and my next vehicles will likely be electric. There's enough fast charging stations now that I no longer see that as an issue any more.
This is enlightening. I've long suspected that people's ire toward Dean Preston et al. was misguided, and that the entire political apparatus, from end to end, was compromised by a loose confederacy of regulatory captors. It's like a hydra, if you manage to cut off one of the arms the others will ensure that it has room to regrow.
That was a great read into a part of retro computing that I haven't seen before.
> You aren't paying attention to women's media if you think that's the case.

Then I'm still confused about what happened here. If you're on life-support, and brain dead, then either you become an organ donor or they turn the machine off and you just die (because otherwise you wouldn't need to be on life support). Of course if you're brain dead, you also don't need painkillers and people who are brain dead or in a coma aren't on them.

They don't crank the painkillers up - in fact no doctor will do this because it's legally murder.

People in comas aren't on painkillers unless they're medically induced (i.e. burn victims in recovery) because the goal is for the patient to wake up. You can always push morphince once they do.
> View transitions are the perfect candidate progressive enhancement.

Quite the opposite. The alternative to "no view transitions" isn't "clunky hard-refresh page-by-page experience," it's single-page view transitions orchestrated by JavaScript (instead of by Chrome). View transitions require you to fundamentally change the architecture of not just a page, but your entire website/app.
