I'm currently updating my organization's RDAP system up to the latest ICANN profile so please forgive me if I sound a little salty.

What ICANN aren't admitting is that while there was no formal RFC standard to the output of WHOIS ICANN themselves had mandated the output format of the WHOIS output. To go live with your shiny new gTLD you had to pass a test of your whois server output. It was strict enough that we had to remove an extra blank line is the disclaimer at the end of the output.

Every whois server I ever checked while writing my org's version supported UTF8.

The data has to be publicly available so authentication and encryption doesn't matter. In any case there is currently nothing requiring RDAP servers to authenticate anything.

The amount of search ability I've seen in most rdap servers so far is pretty limited.

The RDAP output is json but its complicated and there are so many options that realistically everyone is developing to pass the icann profile so no different to whois, and in the end we still live in a post GDRP world so all the useful data is redacted so none of this matters anyway.

These are major events that not only affect the lives of Americans but the world, due to US' status.

Don't take it upon yourself to decide what we should or should not read and discuss.

Besides since DOGE -- made up of techies -- are the ones "purging" the government (instead of say, you know, investigative accountants who can actually properly investigate allegations of corruption/fraud/waste), then it just become a highly-relevant tech topic.

If Musk wasn't in charge, and DOGE wasn't been run by SWEs, then we wouldn't be having these conversations, would we?
The President can certainly do things that are both legal and Constitutional. If the team is, as you say, auditing government spending there is probably no debate. The question before us is: are they doing that, and only that? To that question the answer appears to be 'no'. To the extent that they are doing more than auditing, there are serious legal and Constitutional questions. And these questions cannot simply be brushed aside by asserting 'most people voted for this'.
Which is weird because by the numbers, the economy was doing wonderfully. Maybe you meant to say. People were told an economy prophecy and believed it ?

Even during campaigning the republicans literally warned people their vision would incur economy hardships but that it would be worth it in the long run.

I get the frustration that the price of daily goods was too high but the incumbents did present an actual feasible plan to deal with it. So I’m not really sure it was about “the economy”.

Anyway everything outlined in this article seemed pretty likely to happen, they literally told people their plans ?

Hydrogen is also not particularly "green" without further spending for generation capacity.

Currently, most hydrogen is produced from fossil fuels, specifically natural gas. Electricity—from the grid or from renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, or biomass—is also currently used to produce hydrogen. In the longer term, solar energy and biomass can be used more directly to generate hydrogen.

Let's say you convinced your relatives to stop boycotting those products. Then, the CEO of a company behind one of those products, appeared at a political rally in the ex-imperial country, wearing the symbols and colors of thebold imperial regime, and waving a flag showing the old imperial borders.

I think your relatives would be quite justified in boycotting that one product.

You can make your purchasing decisions however you like. Other's don't. Ignoring war trauma makes someone a shit businessperson, at best.

It boggles my mind that there are 100 products for AI summarization for every 1 that does filtering, classification, recommendation, clustering, etc.

It seems some A.I. influencers can ask for a kilogram of antimatter and get it, but when the rest of use use Google, we get worthless A.I. summaries at the top of the page, like the one that told me to reset my network switch by (1) turning it off, and (2) then pressing the reset button for five seconds (does nothing because... no power!)

Each country should be able to call a place whatever they want. It feels weird having the president declare it though.
My wife is Korean, I met her over there doing some Samsung stuff, she was very frank with me that if she didn't marry me she would probably have married someone like me because she wanted to be able to have a family outside of Korean culture. I love my wife, I have a wonderful marriage and I learn so much from her daily, I feel quite blessed.
Well, there are checks and balances, if I understand correctly, all these changes are being done by executive order which needs to be approved by congress and is passive of being questioned by the justice system.

Let's not forget that the Vice-President did post a tweet with the literally saying:

The underlying problem is that "meaning" in the ordinary sense still includes plenty of copyrightable elements. If you point a typical LLM program at some arbitrary text and tell it to "rephrase" that, you'll generally end up with a very close paraphrase that still leaves intact to a huge extent the "structure, sequence and organization" (in a loose sense) of the original. So it turns out that you're still in breach of copyright. All you're allowed to use when starting from a single copywritten text is the ideas and facts in their very barest sense.
What could've prevented the Codeberg incident?
I think the 50/50 on Freud is an overrated/underrated equilibrium. Most of the Freud "fans" and Freud "haters" don't estimate him differently because they disagree about the correctness of specific Freudian theories; they mostly just feel that his legacy is overvalued or undervalued, or that his prominence in popular culture has been helpful versus harmful to the field. It's like asking basketball fans about Michael Jordan and getting answers that vary greatly depending on what they think is the right way to compare him to current players.

They are unelected in exactly the same way that anyone appointed by the President--namely the entire Executive Branch--is unelected.
> What seems unique at this stage, [...] is the speed and brutality

I think this is especially concerning. From all the reports this whole "process" looks like "shoot first, ask questions later" and I think that's not how democracies should work in regards to anything.

While the goals might be very favorable and welcome, the process and way to get there has to live up to high standards, too.

edit: And I think you can have speed and a momentum in doing things without going in like in a Counterstrike match.
Did they ever trust it?
YouTube currently bans every IP address with a lot of guest traffic. They have also banned all datacenter IP ranges.

Sometimes a "poToken" (a magic string that's used to 'validate' a client to prove that it's an official client) can be used to bypass this, but most of the time it's easier to just sign in with a Google account (which is also dangerous because YouTube has been banning accounts with unusual activity since last year[0])

Nowadays, most third party clients either use a browser/WebView to generate a poToken[1], or directly require a user to enter it for downloading[2]

I feel like the parent commenters issue is related to this, and it looks like there's an ongoing PR to implement support for it[3] (Invidious already had supported poTokens, hovewer their implementation were setting a single token in the config, and AFAIK that method doesn't work anymore)

Perhaps because it is inapplicable. 83(b) election can only be used for property that has been transferred but not vested. (Having a lock-up period does not mean the property is unvested).

Scientists keep talking about the three sisters rising, so clearly there is action happening there. And St Helens keeps erupting, says clearly there is action happening there. It doesn’t seem surprising that the other volcanoes in the area could also be potentially active.

This is a fantastic resource, and I used it heavily in 2018 before starting my BSc in Math while still in school to learn the stuff that interested me a bit in advance (and to some extent as a familiar reference for a few years afterwards).

I can only recommend this as a good starting point for anyone without the time for a full scale education, or in preparation for such, especially if you have some experience with math olympiads (as mentioned also in the introduction).

I only wished I had spent some more time with stuff like category theory before starting my studies, and had had the guts to take more advanced courses directly in my first semester.

With just a bit of prep from these notes I'm pretty convinced that it's possible to directly take e.g. Algebraic Topology, Differential Geometry, Category Theory, or Algebra during the first semester (don't know about number or measure theory, or anything requiring lots of functional analysis, have not engaged enough with those topics to know how good these notes would be as prep).

Although the deployments are very limited, wouldn't the 5G mmWave coverage, in NFL stadiums for example, need to have both New Radio (NR) and Stand Alone (SA)? Or is there some bodge for down-rating your mmWave experience to a non-Stand Alone network? I understand you won't get SA end-to-end calling an endpoint on an LTE network, but, with 5G FWA also needing SA to achieve full performance, SA should be pretty widespread in the US, or is it?

Ok sorry, maybe I was just too quick to judge your comment.
I've caught myself using my smartphone as a socially acceptable way to create distance from my children and get time to myself. Having noticed that trend I'm trying to do better at setting boundaries in healthy ways.

If it were socially acceptable to just tell your kids that you need some "you" time, I wonder how less prevalent smartphone usage among parents would be.

The CRuby VM, or the CRuby interpreter alone is at least 2-3x faster since Fail Whale time. And JIT doubles that to 4 - 6x. Rails itself also gotten 1.5x to 2x faster.

And then you have CPU that is 20 - 30x faster compared to 2009. SSD that is 100x - 1000x faster, Database that is much more battle tested and far easier to scale.

Sometimes I wonder, may be we could remake twitter with Rails again to see how well it goes.

We can agree they're less common than the UK, but saying they have "no use case" is a gross exaggeration. Pretty much everyone I know owns a kettle, given how cheap they are (~$15-20 for an OK one).

The worst thing to happen to the EU. Regulate regulate regulate.
There are a lot of transpilers, and they don't get much adoption because the people implementing them are not the people implementing the database.

The database and the query language are tightly coupled. The latter determines the kinds of optimizations that the former can do, and a transpiled language means that optimization info needs to be passed through in weird and inefficient ways; it also means that obvious optimizations aren't possible, because the people building the language are not building the db.

If you've ever tried used query hints, or deeply inspected a distributed query plan, you'll know exactly what I mean.

Your "talk to a lawyer asap" advice was perfect. Stop there.

In the US, I've worked with the team at https://www.optimalcounsel.com/ before. They're great and founder-focused so generally get it and are reasonable on pricing.

Before you talk to an attorney, make sure you have your agreements together. That is likley your initial employment agreement, any grant docs, your separation docs, and the current agreement they want you to sign.

And yes, don't wait. If you need to take action, you may need to have time to ship docs, send wire transfers, etc.
It's not invisible, nor is it much of a secret. Nor does it "control" anything in particular. Much of the coordination against trump by NGOs funded through USAID, publicly, is just online -- you can just go watch recordings of the conferences.

It's just an institutional consensus about Trump's style of populism which gave profound motivation to a large number of groups, to organise against his perceived threat. The issue is how the US government was involved -- not the activity itself -- , eg., leaning on mass media organisations to censor americans -- unconstitutional, and widely documented. You may think it's "for the good", but either way, its unconstitutional for the US gov. to do that. The US gov cannot demand social media censor americans, it's a prominent part of the bill of rights.

The US gov. funds many programmes under the guise of aid, or sponsorship of "democracy" or "independent media", or, eg., "healthcare".

Consider how egreious it would be for the US gov to lie about funding healthcare, but instead to use that as a guise for one of your "impossible, movie plot lines..."
