US Diesel cars before about 2013? didn't really care aboit nozzle size. Some diesel pumps had the old standard nozzle size; some had the new, smaller, nozzle size intended for unleaded gasoline. VW started putting in anti-misfueling devices into their cars (via recall for mine), and then you could find which stations had unleaded sized nozzles because it was hard to use those. Presumably, nearly all of those have been replaced with the old standard size.

But then truck stops have giant nozzles for the giant tanks on semi trucks. Those won't fit in a regular car.

It looks like the servers are individually managed via OVH or similar, rather than running their own gear in co-location or similar. Wonder why?

It's pretty clear what he means by free speech here. In the grey area between legal and illegal are the topics we consider taboo. Many platforms simply censor these subjects, OP wants to understand why.

The simplest answer is that content moderation is an unsolved problem and certain topics are expensive to moderate. Freedom of speech matters but so does the culture of conduct. Further, as a site owner you risk your reputation by the activity you permit, and taboo subjects can attract folks you don't want on your site. Hence why they end up in the cesspool.
Soldering by hand is a dying art...

I'm not sure. Back in the day we avoided SMD like the plague and it had a reputation of being unapproachable. THT parts were highly sought after and I would even say that a good deal of the success of AVR was because they offered THT versions of their µs long after most others had stopped. Some of us even engaged in the uphill battle of lead-free soldering only to be disillusioned.

We thought hand soldering will die with THT but it didn't.

I see a young generation that has mostly overcome these hurdles. With their young steady hands, sharp eyes, high-lead solder, small temperature controlled irons and other modern equipment they just go about. I envy them.
Sergey lied to you (and likely also to the immigration officer). All cattle in that area was shot and buried, all contaminated equipment was abandoned, even the stuff that could be cleaned up. A chip with such coarse lithography would need to be _in_ Chernobyl to experience any bit flips.

> What a Ukrainian settlement looks like when taken by Russia is predominantly on the scale of heavily damaged to totally leveled. Whereas Ukraine has taken localities without huge artillery and bombing preparation and have supplied locals hiding in the largely intact settlements with food and water, about whom Russia had forgotten - furthermore they shell and bomb towns with both Ukrainian soldiers and Russian civilians in them.

There is a lot of cities captured by Russia that have near zero damage, because UAF not used them as fortresses. There is even a mem inside UA about cities-fortresses.

> Ukraine targets exclusively war-fueling infrastructure including refineries, ammo/petroleum depots, military airfields and yes, key logistics routes like said bridge that was built by an invading country spanning over to occupied territory.

Belgorod has near zero military infrastructure. Yet missiles shell residential areas on regular basis. Death toll of civilians in this area is quite high already.

The US health care system is partly socialized. Health care is provided for the unemployed or low income and the employed are covered as employers are required to provide health coverage. The odd ones out are typically small business owners who don't insure themselves and choose to take on the risk of potentially large medical bills.

In all cases treatment is required by law, regardless of payment.

> what are the benefits of this over just processing incomplete records straight out of my database? i.e. using MySQL as a queue

Mainly throughput and latency. I haven’t used MySQL recently so some of this may apply more to Postgres.

Postgres has LISTEN/NOTIFY which helps with latency. I don’t think MySQL has LISTEN/NOTIFY, which means you’d have to resort to polling.

You have to use the `SELECT … FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED LIMIT 1` features to grab a message from the queue table, so multiple consumers don’t pull the same message.

The biggest issue, if you’re trying to achieve decent throughput, is dealing with bloat (empty pages still sitting on the disk that haven’t been cleaned up yet). You can run vacuum but an online vacuum will only mark the pages as available for reuse (doesn’t free up the disk space). And if you run a full vacuum (which will free the disk space) it locks the entire database while it runs the vacuum. This can compound if you’re using indexes.

One way of dealing with this is setting up partitioning by message timestamp, so that as old messages roll out, you can just drop those partitions and not have to deal with vacuum.

It can work if your queue needs are low throughput or can tolerate higher latency, but there are some things to manage, and realistically setting up a Redis instance is probably less complex than trying to work around the database-specific quirks, unless you’re already very familiar with your database’s inner workings.
I browse social media sites like Facebook and Reddit using their onion services. I was sick of seeing ads pop up that were clearly based on tracking my general browsing activity through IP correlation, tracking pixels and embedded “like” buttons. So now I block all cleartext Facebook/Reddit traffic completely.

Using Tor this way doesn’t anonymize me—on Facebook at least, I’m logged in under my own account—but it limits the profile Meta builds on me to the union of what it directly observes on Facebook and what it can purchase through data brokers. Ever since I started doing this, I’ve noticed a huge drop in relevance in my Facebook ads, so apparently it’s working. When the ads become suddenly relevant again (which has happened a few times), it exposes an information leak: usually a credit card purchase that Meta must have obtained from either my bank or the shop vendor and tied to my identity.

Using a VPN could theoretically provide the same benefit, but in practice Facebook tended to temporarily lock my account when using a VPN and Reddit blocks VPN traffic completely. So I stick to the onion services, which are run by the websites themselves and so are less likely to be treated as malicious traffic.

If you use these platforms, I recommend bookmarking their onion sites in Tor Browser and using it as your primary interface to them for a while. Then, if you don’t find it too inconvenient, start blocking the non‐onion versions of the sites on your network.

Sorry to hear this. I have no experience with blind people, but if I had a blind child I think I would at least during certain interactions keep my eyes closed or covered, to at least better understand his/hers perspective, and have a shared context.

Yes that's why I said 'but'. It still seems relevant to the discussion and I wasn't aware that such attack was possible.
The parity bit is not part of the character. It's external, an error detecting device. To read ASCII you always look at bits 6..0, seven bits. You don't filter away the character because it has the parity bit set, you filter off the parity bit (whether it's set or not).
Lately I can’t even get a doctor - both the specialist and primary care doctors are booked months in advance. And I have one of the best insurance coverages currently available.

And then they can’t really do anything or fuck you up even worse.

YouTube 2030: the entire interface is a single button "I'm feeling lucky". You insert a coin and click the button, the screen starts changing rapidly a kaleidoscope of pictures until it randomly selects one. It's ad that you must watch before you can press the button again. When you press the button again, the whole process repeats and it again shows an ad. After many tries you score a win, finally: a video of some guy advertising something. The dopamine rush gives you energy for the next round of attempts. Eventually you run out of money, unable to remember what you'd watched that day. YouTube always wins, as the old wisdom says.

> They didn't but a huge number of other conspiracy theorists still running their own ideas do have access to all that with today's AI

Current video tools are easily distinguishable from reality if you pay attention. Sliding feet, distorted geometry, occasionally even lacking object permanence.

They're improving rapidly and I have no reason to expect this is the best they'll ever be.

Even still-image tools often still generate things with fundamental errors that can be noticed, and despite this they are already being used because "you can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time"; even the current tech still moves the needle on that.

Of course, the (preexisting) mere existence of the possibility is itself a convenient source of deniability for anything that you don't want to believe — I wonder how many people refuse to believe that Trump really stored boxes of classified documents in a bathroom in Mar-a-Lago despite the photo?

> Even the Nazis of the 1930s and the bolsheviks earlier, despite all their mass efforts at convincing through propaganda and misinformation (applied to people with less ability than today to find contrary sources of information) ultimately didn't convince as many as they'd have liked voluntarily. They had to coerce them into just never openly disagreeing.

And the former won power in the first place in a democracy.

Likewise Rwanda, the violence followed from the propaganda.

Conspiracy theories don't need everyone to believe in them to cause problems — that's why I gave the Pizzagate example where (IIRC) the biggest harm was someone firing a gun in the restaurant demanding to see the basement it didn't have.

Legacy American car companies have been fully non-competitive with foreign brands for decades. Their continued existence is completely due to tariffs, and it’s not close. I see no reason to think congress would suddenly allow them to be threatened by Chinese companies.
I never operated a TOR node, but as far as I know and heard from other sources, TOR realays don't get much attention from law enforcement, it any attention at all. Which makes sense: all they're doing is getting encrypted traffic in and giving encrypted traffic out. It would hard for them to link a relay node to a specific connection, and even if they do, you can't help them in any way: even you as the node operator are only able to see encrypted traffic.

Edit: there's a youtuber called "Mental Outlaw" that published a while ago some videos about setting up and operating TOR nodes. He sometimes gives inaccurate information regarding more theoretical topics, so I don't follow him much. But I think he can be trusted for this practical topics.

> Traditional US car manufacturers are absolutely incompetent and will not survive competition with Chinese manufacturers

Oh they won't have any trouble. They may lose international market share but the US government will keep raising tariffs ad infinitum to protect the US automakers no matter how far behind they get, or how expensive the vehicles get. We already are giving them 100% tariffs against BYD/etc. You might think that's absurd but the steel industry has received tariffs up to 266% against Chinese steel, so there's a lot of headroom left to continue to price out international competition.

There's really no pressure for the US automakers to do better or innovate or actually compete.
Unfair to the EU or the US? Because this plays to the US favor.

It's a good example of how IP can throttle our societal creative output. For a couple thousand years we all traded stories and art and dances about shared characters, such as various gods, heroes, legends, and monsters, and then suddenly if someone invents a new hero or monster oops now only they can make stories about it or you go to jail.

It's absurd. Pokemon has made bajillions of dollars, surely it's time to acknowledge it belongs to our common culture and we all now have a right to make up our own stories, games, music, whatever around it.

This isn't radical. It's just a question of time. We would call it madness if Disney claimed to own Greek mythology and sued the makers of the game Hades about it.

Ugh. This. Not just for healthcare though, for everything. Using small wealthy countries with populations smaller than our states as a comparison against our continent sized country is really not helping or proving anything.
As an American, I'm probably heavily influenced about non-state-by-state discussion in the media and thus ignorant... (and work in tech and don't directly pay for health insurance...) but I don't think I'm aware of significant state-by-state differences in healthcare.

I know California generally has more regulations and has MediCal, but most insurance options I've encountered seem to be multi-state (regional, not necessarily country-wide though). Things like FSA/HSA are nearly the same across all States I think?

I'd assume quality of care varies more by region (likely with some correlation between quality and the to major options health insurance providers) than by state lines.

That all said, I'd be curious to see all 50 states in a healthcare quality ranking combined with the various "peer" (or EU) countries like you propose. I'd probably be surprised by the spread.
