When it comes to writing a blog/website, SAAS is the simplest thing that might work. Good luck.
Being lauded for effort you did put in can be quite effective, as confirmed both by numerous studies and by the personal experiences of myriad people.

This does not address any of the issues that people complain about? How do you stop somebody other than the person who is supposed to vote from voting using the person's ballot and faking the signature? Or a person could sign the envelope and give their ballot and envelope to somebody else to vote.

The point of voting with an id is to look at the picture and compare with the person to confirm they are the actual person.

edit: before you say they check the signature. It is not reliable. I know people who have had to confirm their signature despite it looking close. I've scribbled my name not even close to what I had recorded and it worked fine.
> nobody has suggested discriminating based on “which IDs”.

This is a phenomenal achievement in ignorance. Multiple states have had controversies where their Trump-oriented legislatures tried to enact restrictive ID requirements that excluded one group or another, and their state courts or federal courts struck them down based on their nakedly discriminator intent. This includes North Dakota where they tried to disenfranchise tribes (struck down by state supreme court), Texas were they tried to get rid of almost a million black voters (stayed by federal courts), and North Carolina where a state court stayed the enactment of an ID law because reactionaries had "undeniably implemented this legislation to maintain its power by targeting voters of color". There have been controversies about which IDs are valid for voting in every state that tried it.

The fact that restrictive voter ID laws are coextensive with the Confederacy should be all the evidence you need.
French speakers are a serious mystery to me. They are much better stewards when it comes to tech and cooperation but they are so much stuck up with their need to "speak french" that it hinders any progress.

At least DACH made the progress of opening up. It would be ideal to combine DACH liberalism for language and french attitude towards tech and innovation.
It seems like they're doing it differently than they did for e.g., China.

Note that the money is simply a matter of a contract (e.g., we will hire your company, which is located in China to operate our cloud region. We'll give you X dollars, and you'll give us Y revenue).

For the Germany region, they're using a mixture of technical controls (e.g., the AWS user has to sign off on accesses in a way that's technically not circumventable (think like a phones unlock screen or something protecting the data on the device) and only allowing AWS employees located in the EU to operate it (presumably the goal being that employees physically located in the EU can't be compelled in the same way as those located in the US).

You can read more here https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in-the-works-aws-european-s...

For comparison, the structure in China is more like what I was describing above: https://www.amazonaws.cn/en/about-aws/china/

I'm not as familiar with it, but it looks like GCP is going with an operating company approach, see eg., https://cloud.google.com/t-systems-sovereign-cloud?hl=en for Germany.
I looked into implementing this once. Some surprising things I learned:

1. You need UV-C (typically 222 nm), not just any old UV bulb off Alibaba/Wish/Amazon.

2. You need an extremely high UV light intensity to kill viruses if the air is just flowing past the bulb (vs shining UV on a coil to prevent bacterial/fungal growth, which is the typical usage), and you need more intensity the faster the air is flowing. Usually this requires multiple bulbs.

3. You need to replace your UV-C bulbs every 1,000 hours or so, because they rapidly lose intensity with operating time.

Just putting a "black light poster" bulb in your ducts won't accomplish anything, other than perhaps giving you a false sense of security.
It takes time to shape and convince people and form frameworks to move forward.

Most funds are LLCs or LPs. They’re almost always in Delaware. Non-Delaware U.S. funds trade at a discount. (International are B.V.I. or Cayman. For Europe, Luxembourg.)
Many were. I'm not saying this is terrible-- these programs cost too much for private entities to bear all the risk, and most of the programs that SpaceX has gotten funding from have been well-run programs.

COTS paid for vehicle development for Falcon-9 and Dragon; CRS paid for flights. COTS was a pretty well-managed program with a lot of clear milestones for funding release.

The troubled Artemis program has paid for a whole lot of Starship development and demonstration. It's questionable how well Starship actually meets Artemis needs, so this is more troubling.

And, of course, the government has bought early flights with no guarantee of success, including just to fly masses/demosats. DARPA/NASA/ORS paid for the first 3 Falcon I failures.
DACH would be: (D)eutschland (A)ustria (C)onfederatio (H)elvetica...

I could agree with this. I believe there is a benefit in not having "on-demand" access to a therapist and boundaries with the people you talk with.
Nothing more, nothing less

Telegram has been operating for years and did not change recently to justify such an action yesterday. There's something more certainly. Maybe they did not comply with requests related to recent war in Ukraine or genocide in Palestine ?
The actual reality is that you worked yourself into the untenable position of being so hands-off with people that you need a social network to do what a phone can do just as well, and that's because most of the people in everyone's social network are not actually people that we care to stay in touch with on a daily or even monthly basis. You don't need a social network. You choose to use one.

There are people in my facebook feed who I haven't seen in person in over 20 years. It's nice to keep up with them and their lives and families, but if I lost access to facebook tomorrow, it wouldn't change a thing for me. I am friendly with these people but I don't actually know them anymore and am not all that invested in their lives.
Right, it's legally OK to backward engineer something. There is no copyright or legal protections on the 'how'.

> but if you mimic whole bunch of specific features, APIs or whatever, it is still tricky legally.

If you mimic an API, as long as you can prove you didn't copy any of the original code or engineering - you are in the clear.

> because Nintendo emulators are creating parallel market for Nintendo devices

No, they are not. The parallel market only pertains to games (or specifically, the creative work that covers the IP for the game).
Most therapists I’ve spoken to aren’t PhDs and the one we do work with isn’t noticeably better for outcomes.
They would not disagree with you after, say, a measles infections, which thoroughly destroys the immune system at many levels.

It’s not a good idea to confuse the impacts of vaccines and infections. Vaccines are carefully developed specifically to help the immune system. Viruses evolve to hurt it.
You've quoted two things there, so that's a two-part question.

For blackmail I mean e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kompromat and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opposition_research

For sensitive information, I mean e.g. a whistleblower has contacted them, or they're working out the finances for next year and there's potential for market manipulation based on the discussions so far, or they're discussing an emergency (health/economic/military) response that will be unpopular with someone no matter what.

If you are with your example referring to some specific example of them committing crimes, I refer you to my second paragraph in the original message:

> Simultaneously, they need a light shone on their private lives for the same reason they want to do that to the rest of us: to make sure they're not abusing their access to sensitive information, getting blackmailed, or otherwise being nefarious.
It's difficult to see where we would need new nuclear power plants. Maybe for ship propulsion?
unlike, say, illumos, macos doesn't contain anything genetically descended from the v6 unix kernel; the darwin kernel is mach, with chunks of freebsd grafted into it, chunks that carefully reimplemented without copying the functionality in original unix

by contrast, 'chromeos' and android run on fairly normal linux. they even keep up with linus's tree, and though they do have their own patches, they try to get them merged back into linus's tree

I'd enjoy watching Facebook make a miserable decline into obscurity. In the last couple years I've moved away from using Facebook Messenger to keep in touch with people, and I don't remember the last time I've opened Facebook "proper". The only reason I'd even consider opening it is for Marketplace.
No. It is the AI enthusiasts that use contrived, often entirely random definitions of “reasoning”.

AIs do not “think” in any capacity and are therefore incapable of reasoning. However, if you wish to take “thinking” out of the definition, where we allow an AI to try its hand at “novel (for it)” problems, then AIs fail the test horrifically. I agree, they will probably spit something out and sound confident, but sounding confident is not being correct, and AIs tend to not be correct when something truly new to them is thrown at them. AIs spit out straight incorrect answers (colloquially called “hallucinations” so that AI enthusiasts can downplay the fact that it is factually wrong) for things that an AI is heavily trained on.

If we train an AI on what a number is. But then we slap it with 2+2 =5 long enough, it will eventually start to incorrectly state that 2+2=5. Humans, however, due to their capacity to actually think and reason, can confidently tell you, no matter how much you beat them over the head, that 2+2 is 4 because that’s how numbers work.

Even if we somehow get a human to state that 2+2=5 as an actual thought pattern, they would be capable of reasoning out the problems the moment we start asking “what about 2+3?” Where an AI might make the connection, but there no forward thinking won’t resolve the issue.
Due process? Tell me you’ve never read the Terms and Conditions without telling me. You don’t have a legal right to anything on Facebooks servers. Just because you invest effort and time into something doesn’t mean you have a right or ownership. You aren’t squatting on Facebook’s land. They just haven’t forced you off yet.
These articles seem to come up very frequently but the resulting extinction doesn't happen. Also, can't we just go propagate a new variety if this occurs, sure there would be some disruption but its not the end of bananas. Just in my little local fruit market I can see a few varieties (mostly the mini ones) and there are probably 100s more in India/South East Asia.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banana_cultivars
I think this is projection. Claiming the arrest has to do drugs and child trafficking is distracting from the issue and the actual reason for the arrest. Which I outlined above.

I believe it's as incorrect as arguing the United States wants to ban or own Tik Tok because China has access to Americans private data.
It’s also the government’s role to take measures against harmful actions. Personal rights end where they start to harm others, or harm society in general. They are not an absolute, and always have to be balanced against other concerns.

However, my GP comment was against the claim that “The state has no business judging the truth”. That claim as stated is absurd, because judging what is true is necessary for a state being able to function in the interest of its people. The commenter likely didn’t mean what they wrote.

One can argue what is harmful and what isn’t, and I certainly don’t agree with many things that are being over-moderated. But please discuss things on that level, and don’t absolutize “free speech”, or argue that authorities shouldn’t care about what is true or not.
Keep in mind that most therapists only get to keep 50-60% of the paid rate. So if insurance covers 200$ an hour, they take home 100-120. Which seems decent until you realize they only have 5-6 or so billable hours a day and the rest is paperwork and insurance bs. Also a typical Ph.D had an additional 10 or so years of post secondary education income/opportunity loss.
https://restoreprivacy.com/telegram-sharing-user-data/

> the operators of the messenger app Telegram have released user data to the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in several cases. According to SPIEGEL information, this was data from suspects in the areas of child abuse and terrorism. In the case of violations of other criminal offenses, it is still difficult for German investigators to obtain information from Telegram, according to security circles.

https://threema.ch/en/blog/posts/chat-apps-government-ties-a...

> two popular chat services have accused each other of having undisclosed government ties. According to Signal president Meredith Whittaker, Telegram is not only “notoriously insecure” but also “routinely cooperates with governments behind the scenes.” Telegram founder Pavel Durov, on the other hand, claims that “the US government spent $3 million to build Signal’s encryption” and Signal’s current leaders are “activists used by the US state department for regime change abroad.”
Any such policy can not work and would have been gamed heavily to damage competitors.
The German social contract for a long time was that the working class gets low wages, which keeps German exports competitive and combined with the large internal market, prices low. In return for making the owning class wealthy, workers also get a relatively good social support system and job security.

I'm not sure this model ever applied to A & CH, and might be starting to collapse in D as well.
> Because these countries are hypocrites.

Rhetorical question: for what reason should a country be anything other than a hypocrite when it comes to situations such as this? Nations prioritize their own self-interests and that of their allies, even if that makes them appear hypocritical from an outside, or indeed, even an inside perspective. But that doesn't mean there's no legitimacy to what they do.
The Princess Bride. Some parts make me tear up, and I don't think I'm a softie.

+1 for Office Space that others mentioned.
I find it pretty ridiculous to assume that any dev would comment on the inner workings of their employers software in any way beyond what is publicly available anyway. I certainly wouldn't.
I've been working on Haven[1] as an open-source self-hostable alternative to give control back to people. I actually wrote a blog post about how the move from "see what your friends/family are doing" to "just keep scrolling" was a pretty blatant bait-and-switch[2]. I think any alternative will fail in the same ways as Facebook has unless there are different incentives. I'm hoping that by making Haven open source and decentralized there won't be a path for me to make money off of it (beyond maybe hosting fees?) if it gets broader adoption.

Nuclear lost its "reliable baseload power" badge in 2022 when more than half of french nuclear reactors (32/56) were offline at the same time, some scheduled and most unscheduled.

How much backup do you need for nuclear?

https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceinter/la-moitie-du-parc-nuc...

I read lots of "Germany needs french nuclear fleet" here (as usual), but obviously no one mentionned when France needed European grid big time due to nuclear failings.
I know. That’s obviously true, but I hate that it happens and it makes no sense to me why more people aren’t upset by it. What I’m trying to get at is that complying with rules that are stupid, ineffective, and unfair is not a good thing and anyone who thinks these goals are reasonable should apply them to equivalent services to realize they’re bad. Cooperation with law enforcement is morally neutral and not important.

The real goal is hurting anyone that’s not aligned with people in power regardless of who is getting helped or harmed. Everyone knows this but so many people in this thread are lying about it.

The point is to give them a chance to respond. Then they can't come back later and say "why didn't you talk to us?"

It's often not that helpful, but it's standard journalistic practice to give them a chance.

if the government directly subsidized healthcare instead of relying on the insurance middlemen to perform its duties, this wouldn't be an issue.
To sort of complement what you are saying, the 'hygiene hypothesis' also ends up being a an excuse for not looking at other factors. (very similar to blaming genes alone for health issues)
> that risk is priced into the interest rate.

A degree of risk is priced into the interest rate. I still have a fiduciary duty to my lenders to not take undue, undisclosed risks. In practice, people get away with this except in the most egregious cases, but that doesn't make it less wrong.

Worse, systemic risk isn't priced into the interest rate, because the government tends to bail out the banks.

Everyone using leverage and betting on things going up forever is a really big part of how you get 2008. A lot of people made a ton of money in the run-up to 2008 (privatized profits); the population as a whole paid the costs (socialized losses).

edit: I wrote "borrowers" above when I meant lenders.
Most services in the US require some proof of identification. It requires 2 forms of government ID to fill out a W2 and we are all more or less fine with this. I really don't see why voting should require less proof of citizenship than having a minimum wage job. Having a clear and public way to standardize and audit elections is a good idea plain and simple.

I would be happy to support whatever infrastructure is needed to make it easy for citizens to assert and validate their legal rights. The government should work well and provide the core civic services that people need. Government IDs are pretty cheap, but it feels like good policy to make them free. I would also be happy with day of registration and multiple days of voting, however doing so should also require a mechanism to prevent double voting (i.e. a serial number, which a standardized ID scheme would enable). There are plenty of solutions that would help standardize and secure elections (mandatory voting like Australia does is my preferred solution, but that should also come with policies to attenuate the burden of voting). Framing this as a rightwing conspiracy passes up the opportunity to engage in a constructive way to improve our government infrastructure.

One trick is to weld the case shut (you can get a welder on amazon for ~$100). This makes it much harder to open, especially in a non-tamper-evident way. You can open the case back up by using an angle grinder with a cutting disc to slice through the weld.

I'd recommend taking a very high res photo of the welds so you can compare later if tampering is suspected.
