I'm curious who the author thinks has been watching Star Trek all this time, if not the left, and specifically for its politics.

The "technofetishism" the author claims the show eschews is a core part of what makes its utopian society work (on paper.) Infinite free energy. Warp drive. Machines that can assemble food from raw atoms. Transporters. Medical technology on par with magic. Holodecks. Star Trek is all about technology enabling a better world, or at least technological progress being necessary for societal progress. Because that post-scarcity (if the "c" word is triggering) society simply doesn't exist without it.

I think it's a mistake to read too deeply into Star Trek's supposed "communist" politics. If you look too closely at Trek's utopia, it all falls apart. It isn't realistic or even plausible because positing a realistic socialist post-scarcity utopia and arguing for radical Marxist futurism isn't the franchise's intent. Despite what Gene Roddenberry might have wanted or believed, Star Trek is a capitalist construct written by Americans for Americans whose purpose is to entertain and sell ad time. First and foremost it is drama and as such can never be radical enough to actually threaten the status quo, or reject the American capitalist imperialist paradigm entirely. If anything, it is far more an expression of mainstream progressivism and neoliberalism (along with some implicit homophobia and occasional racism,) but very much still also born of American exceptionalism - as Starfleet, which is headquartered in San Francisco, is essentially American Hegemony In Space.
I pay for things, but often there is no option to pay. When there is, eventually the company figures out that they can have you pay AND show you ads. Then the argument becomes "well if they opt not to have ads, you should pay more for the privilege."

But no matter the cost of a thing, you can always "make more" by adding ads and keeping the cost as is. So eventually, every service seems to decide that, well, you DESERVE the ads, even if you pay.

Sure, competition could solve this, but often there isn't any.
> a few hundred meters would do nothing. I think the estimates I saw were over 150 knots

Show you working. Not feelings because people don't have intuition for such unusual motion. You could equally have said "a few hundred meters would be enough."
Last year even though I didn’t have a theme, I made small changes in the way I live, tried to complete my 15 book goodreads challenge, started doing sports and improve myself professionally on my free time.

This year started with pretty fundamental questions in the way I live and uncertainties about my future so deciding on a theme is very difficult. I can’t answer those questions and don’t know what I really want. I will try to put an effort into keeping the good habits I gained last year though.
There's a reason "naming things" is one of the great hard problems of programming. Especially when you have to name hundreds of things while developing i.e. a framework. Unless it's a solo pedantic developer creating the entire thing, inconsistencies will crop up, some names won't age well, some names don't quite capture the thing they are naming, etc.

"suspicion" seems like fragile grounds for "Absolutely".

No. Microcontent, a copywriting concept, not an information architecture one.

I think the unintuitive thing is that by "port mapping", Docker is doing DNAT which doesn't trigger the input firewall rules. Unless you're relatively well versed in the behavior of iptables or notables, you probably expect the "port mapping" to work like a regular old application proxy (which would obey a firewall rules blocking all inputs) and not use NAT and firewall rules (and all of the attendant complexity that brings).
Substack absolutely refuses to stop emailing you. It's simply not possible to subscribe to paid content and NOT have them either email you or force push notifications. Enough people have complained about this that it's pretty obvious this is intentional on their part.
Who, the downvoters?

There was a lot of up/down votes on that comment .. clearly some laughed and others cried.
Been using a dexcom g7 for a few weeks as a test. Pulling the sensor off can be painful, and leaves behind adhesive residue when I do it. And there's also a bit of inflammation in the area since it sticks a small probe into you, which sits there for 10 days.
There may not be an issue at all, I'm just gun shy about opening any ports publicly. I don't do networking often and have never focused on it enough to feel confident in my setup and maintenance.
It's not approved yet anyway. But if you are ever in Berlin, let me know and I'll give you a tour.

I think if you set your domain as custom domain with big provider and set DNS entries you will have much better results.

But for personal mail it feels like waste of money instead of just using one of big providers domain directly.
> Vernor Vinge's SF idea of slower and faster areas of space

His ideas were more ambitious: there are advanced technologies (e.g. FTL travel) that work in "fast" space but completely stop working in the "slow zone" (where the Solar system is located). On the other hand, even human-level intelligence would stop functioning close to the galactic center, the crew would not be able to operate the ship and would be stranded.
My wife is South Korean (from andong). I asked her and she looked at me like I'd grown a second head "because it's South Korea? We're a young country and that is tiny airport in the south, half of Korea is a safety hazard and you know that fine well, some freaking idiot put a wall there, oh well, it's korea" and walked off pretty angry I'd even asked.
Don’t know why you are downvoted. I was even taught that if after reporting an emergency you are overwhelmed by information requests you should just mute the radio and focus on solving the emergency . ATCs job is to get everybody out of the way including themselves.
That wouldn't help against the technique explained in the article, would it? Since the model makes it way into the device, it can be intercepted in a similar fashion.

I'm not quite sure I understand the firebase feature btw. From the docs, it's pretty much file storage with a dedicated API? I suppose you can use those models for inference in the cloud, but still, the storage API seems redundant.
This introduction to the nature of the experience of the different symptoms associated with ADHD will help you understand your nephew. Really opened my eyes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouZrZa5pLXk

From the description:

Here’s everything you need to know about Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children. Get the transcript at https://www.understood...

Thomas E. Brown, PhD, discusses ADHD diagnosis, ADHD symptoms, available ADHD treatment options, and ADHD medication. As our expert says, ADD/ADHD is not a behavior problem. It has far more to do with the brain’s management system. Remember, ADHD has nothing to do with how smart a person is.
I agree it's a big mess, that was kind of my point.

I am curious about the video, but am not compelled to spend 24 min watching it when you haven't summarized its thesis for me. The title of the video makes it seem adjacent at best to the points I was making. (Some automated flagging system =/= actual law)
I was locked up. I've worked with offenders coming straight out of prison. A majority will return to prison.

Why? Several reasons.

1) When you get out, everything is stacked against you. Despite what you hear, there is almost zero support for those released. You've almost certainly lost all your support networks (family, friends). You have no money, no ID, no bank account, no debit card, no cellphone, no email address, no home, no clothing, no food. You have a criminal record, the newspapers say you're a criminal, the Internet says you're a criminal. It's very, very tough.

2) Your only friends when you get out are other ex-cons. Most people in the system have suffered from drug addictions. Everyone you know will be trying to get you to use again. And if they can get you to use then they can get you to steal to get money to pay them for drugs, so they can pay for their own drugs.

3) Only the first stint in jail really sucks. When you walk back into jail you walk back in as a boss. You know the system, you know the routines, you're probably going back to the same jail, so you know the guards. All your friends are there. When you walk in the door your buddies will give you a starter kit to get you going. You're not scared of anyone or anything. After the first time, not only are you not scared to return, you might be thankful for the rest from the hardships of being released.
Yes- justify-content: center will center items along the flex direction. For example, if your flex-direction is "row" then it will center your items in the middle of the row horizontally. align-items: center will center your items in the middle of the row vertically.

For example, justify-content: center and flex-direction: row centers items the same as align-items: center and flex-direction: column
I would be surprised if there was no pressure on the FDA coming from the Biden administration. I also don't personally know how to stack up the issue of governments pressuring the FDA, who is part of the executive branch, and social media and news companies meant to be entirely separate from the government.
> In the video it looked like the plane was only running on the rear landing gears,

Are we talking about the same crash? In the video I have seen[1] the plane appears to be on its belly dragging on the runway.

I've also done a lot of rock climbing. As other replies said, you get comfortable with the gear and the height and loose the fear.

When Covid broke my regular climbing habit. One interesting part of going back to it after a year or so of not climbing - I felt some fear of heights again.

It was mild fear, and didn't have me to hanging on extra tight or something. I remember the odd sensation of observing this fear in myself and thinking something along the lines "Oh that's weird, fear of heights - I don't remember the last time I had this."

Like a muscle, if you start training to be comfortable again it seems to come back quicker if you had trained it well previously. I guess fears have homeostasis too.
>I had more fun being creative online when the stakes were so low that it seemed that just by playing I had already won something.

I’ve been thinking about this on and off a lot these past years.

I think part of it is that when your time has no value, nothing you choose to do is a waste.

That’s not to suggest your time needs to be worth nothing. But that you stop perceiving your time as having intrinsic value. My kids succeed where I fail all the time. They’ll spend hours on projects that have been done far better by other people already. But they just don’t think about those facts. They’re not relevant. Their time is not being valued in anything other than the feeling of “I want to do this thing.”

In an ideal world the answer to your question is yes, we should not be exploiting slave wages/labor. But most of us are simply not in the position to make that decision.

And the webs of manufacturing middlemen make it difficult to even know at what point in the chain would this practice be happening.

Not to mention the average person would see nothing more than prices going up and complain with 0 knowledge of whats happening downstream

> The war started because of NATO screwing around in Ukraine's politics and trying to set up NATO on Russia's border.

That sounds like an attempt to rewrite history. Ukraine's prospect of becoming a member of NATO was completely buried since 2008, and the intention to join NATO was resurrected only after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. To this day, the interest of other members to accept Ukraine into NATO remains lukewarm and no meaningful progress has been made in this direction.

The war started because Russia couldn't stomach that Ukraine was on the verge of signing a major trade deal with the EU that would've opened up the EU market for Ukraine, and Russia, facing its vaning influence over Ukraine, decided to invade and subjugate Ukrainians through violence, as it had nothing else to offer.
Yeah, YTM isn't a _completely_ separate service. It's just a different frontend to YouTube. If you search for one of those "official" music label uploaded songs on youtube, you'll get the exact same video ID as you get on YTM. Conversely, if there isn't an "official" copy uploaded, you'll get joe's random 128kbps triple-encoded upload.
> That is why many of us keep repeating that NAT is not a security mechanism.

You can say that in general, network firewalls are not a security mechanism. They are at most a means to prevent brute-force attacks from outside of the network.
You can be perfectly spearphished by a plaintext email, sent by your “colleague”, mentioning some current issue at work, and asking to verify some ticket

or by your “friend” mentioning a highly personal issue that only you two were supposed to know, asking you to phone someone on their behalf

or by your “relative”, etc.
> While feed-in charges have stabilized somewhat in recent months, they are expected to increase further. Adding to the pressure, the Dutch government plans to end the popular net metering scheme in 2027. This program currently allows households to offset their solar energy production against their annual energy bill.

Net metering? Who could have envisioned that an impossibly* generous subsidy scheme could not be sustained indefinitely, at scale?

*Assume that Sinterklass is not providing and maintaining the national electrical grid.
Carousels exist because everyone wants their pet project to be on the home page, and no one at the company has enough willpower to put a stop to that nonsense. No one actually likes the things.
The availability of hardware seems semi moot, since afaik there's basically no way to get spectrum short of big national auctions.

But now that T-Mobile is renegging their promise & not going to meet the minimum deployment size they promised, they have been saying the FCC should find a way to sell by area some of that spectrum sitting dormant in such a wide wide % of America (personally I think it makes their bid invalid & they should forefeit their bid for such egregious dirty lying).
https://www.lightreading.com/5g/t-mobile-relinquishes-mmwave...

I think some of the analog tv spectrum has some precedent for being sold per-area rather than nation wide, but I'm not sure how that's been going.

In terms of hardware, there's some fascinating stuff. Facebook's SuperCell large-tower project showed awesome scale out possibility for large towers. Their Terragraph effort is spun out, and seems to have some solid customers using their hardware. Meta spun off their EvenStar 5G system, which has a strong presence at Open compute now.
https://www.opencompute.org/projects/evenstar-open-radio-uni...

But it's hard to tell how acquireable such a thing really is. There's plenty of existing nodes out there too. It is unclear to me though how acquireable such things really are- there not being an open market, since there's no usable spectrum feels like a conundrum for the market, even though these are extremely high volume amazingly integrated advanced wireless systems that you'd think would be visibly prolific.
Operation Codepink: Unveiling the Chinese Propaganda Machine (2024)
Various by system - South Africa has a 9 out of 10 recidivism rate, the US 7 out of 10, Finland 3 out of 10. China, reportedly, has just over 1 out of 10 .. although the reason there is they apparently execute serial recidivists.

Finland puts some effort into looking what circumstances land citizens in jail and addressing those and post time served support.

We are 100% truly in the time of "desktop linux". It has never been better. Unless you have a video game that 100% must run on Windows, or a specific application, there is really no reason to be there. If you want a desktop environment that looks and feels like Windows, I would suggest KDE. Out of the box it is pretty close, but it is one of the most customizable DE's out there and can truly be made to look and feel just like Windows.
Don't you have friends in their 30s, even 40s, asking for the pensions to go down? And for the old people to die off soon enough because they're keeping all of us (younger people) down, with their (the old people's) voting habits being a very good example of that? Because I certainly do have those type of friends and acquaintances. Or maybe it's just an Eastern-European thing and further West there's no inter-generational war.
But it's easier to lecture someone on a bug they already diagnosed and explained to you.

Not disputing the problems exist, this isn't new: Australia has had this problem for years, the socialised costs of distributed power injection have to be met: it is a more complex network.

Also, the primary drive to install PV probably remains cost reduction to an electricity consumer, not the profit side of selling electricity. The problem has been magnified by risk side mechanisms like loans based on a model of income, and the loan period. Selling electricity into supply means accepting all the liabilities of supply, not just free money from Sunshine.

Some of this is supply company games to get back income lost from the drop in consumption, that's why fixed/standing charges are going up everywhere. But some of this is also the burden of balancing out demand and supply in a network originally built before PV on rooftops was there.

The inducement to uptake of domestic PV probably has done its job. Time to grandfather some of it in, and reduce the incentives in a curve. This is an example of what happens when the curve changes without notice maybe?
Going Round in Circles: A Cognitive Bias in Geometric Reasoning
Statistically, across the USA, a large majority of the judges are ex-prosecutors and definitely not "activists." I've personally known dozens of criminal court judges and I can't think of a single one that routinely sentences on the low side or would be considered an "activist." Even the defense lawyers I know that become judges usually sentence punitively, as if to show they aren't biased.
WiFi, Bluetooth and Zigbee has bunch of public specifications and knowledge about it to make it feasible. AFAIK, the specifications for 4G/5G is publicly available but extremely complex + you'd need licensing agreements, pay royalties, etc. So unless this imaginary company of yours have specialized expertise in all that, it seems unlikely to be feasible.
Heh. I made a tool to translate <table>-based layouts to CSS just to try and memorize all the settings. I failed (to memorize them).

There was a comedy show in German TV in the late 70s and 80s called Nonstop Nonsense. It was quite popular and funny.

Now the show has arrived on American shores and mutated into a horror clown show starring Elon Murks. You will no doubt downvote me for this, but hear me out: it is not long before he starts eating people—people's brains, their money, their minds. He's nibbling already and longing to set the world on fire. To see it burn to illuminate his ego. He will not stop, he must be stopped.

If you are just running a single website with DNS fronting that’s not an issue.

But large customers tend to have more advanced connectivity on L3/4 and asymmetric routing.

Then there is the CDN part itself are you only using the basic auto caching? That’s not a problem but if you manually manage it then all that needs to be converted as well and there is no guarantee that the partner API would be compatible or even have the same functionality as your current CDN.
