> Bad actors acting in bad faith, causing damage? Totally fine.

Who in this thread is saying this is totally fine?
To be fair there have been a bunch of headlines about a great many things, like office closures without mentioning the minor detail that the offices haven’t been used in years, the workforce is remote, and there is no impact on service delivery or staffing. Doesn’t stop journalists from dancing around the implication if it makes the orange man and mars man look bad though.

Cloudflare, apparently.
If there is no evidence of in the wild exploitation and no reason to think the vulnerability is publicly known, then 2 weeks seems like an acceptable turn around time.

If you start looking at big corps, you will very quickly find instances of fairly severe vulns that sit for months before a fix is issue.

(I'm assuming "started triaging" actually means worked on fixed. If they didnt even respond to reporter for 2 weeks, that is kind of bad)
My comment ends with a note that "it's a reasonable approximation".

The percentage of global population where the 0F..100F range is not a reasonable approximation of the temperature range they will experience is small. It's not perfect - no such range could, when humans live almost everywhere on the planet. But it's not bad ...
I think GP is saying, the point is that the biosecurity controls are to protect local agriculture in the sense of ensuring availability. If there's no availability due to cartel practices anyway then spending effort enforcing biosecurity controls is pointless.
Cynical-me suspects step three is something to do with:

Climate change is a decades-order problem. Worst case is end of human civilization.

Waste storage is a problem for once climate change is solved. Worst case is local degradation of environment.

A grid powered almost-fully by nuclear and water is proven feasible by France. A grid almost-fully powered by renewables for a full year in an industrialized country is yet to be seen. Renewables do work well when combined to fossil fuels, but we need to get off them.

The Republicans programs for electricity is completely insane and renewables is a much better alternative than drilling more fossil fuels. Nuclear is more realistic but the political will is not there unfortunately.

I feel like I missed the whole SSR wave. I've been very happy just using vanilla React.
This might not be enough reason for the full extent of 160ms, but I'd imagine something like, from low to higher latency impact:

- Digitized music needs a DAC, and this conversion takes non-zero time (few us)
- Compressed data is frequently chunked, thus not realtime (few ms)
- Data streams are buffered, because the channel (wireless) is quite lossy and may need multiple retransmissions. (few ms more)
I see. Maybe people interpreted as such and downvoted it.
Does that constitute Hypocrisy? I agree that the intimidation of the judiciary is detestable. However, to my understanding he is still acknowledging the power of the court to bind or compel action, or at least making the pretext of doing so.

Based on this, I don't see the hypocrisy of following judicial rulings in Turkey as well. Inversely, if he was defying similar judicial rulings in each country, on similar basis, that wouldn't be hypocrisy either.

The closest is probably the situation in Brazil, where twitter refused several orders, but ultimately ended up complying.

Fahrenheit is sort of intuitive if you think of it as somehow, impossibly, a percentage scale. 0C/32F is still decently comfortable anyway. 0F is, like, not at all comfortable. 100C is dead. 100F is the most unbearably hot temperature that isn’t immediately deadly.

I'm impressed you came back to this old thread!

No matter how hard you try to rationalize it, 1,200 sales in one day at a single dealer just as the dealers become aware that the program is about to run through its' funds is suspicious.

Doubly so with a company whose lawyers argue in court you can't believe what their CEO says, that holds onto deposits for 7 years for a "coming-soon-car", and whose cars never surprises to the upside on mileage.

That's an interesting aspect! Creativity thrives on constraints.

For the 'industry trick' part you can get most of the benefit from going 'most of the way'. Ie you get almost the same wiggle room, if 90% of your scenes are without dialogue, and 10% are voiced.

For the artistic effect, there's a big difference between 90% and 100%. (Sparse dialogue is also a perfectly valid artistic choice, but it's doesn't make much sense to analyse it as '90% of a no-dialogue' piece.)

I've mostly come to appreciate 'pantomime' in web comics. Many comics go overboard with text, be that speech bubbles, thought bubble or narration boxes. It's always interesting to me to see an author work out how use the medium to its full advantage, instead of writing a novel.

> Has the last 70 years of productivity increases led to a reduction in weekly work hours?

Yes, it has led to a significant reduction in hours worked:
https://ourworldindata.org/working-more-than-ever

Of course, the effects aren't equally distributed across all countries. For example, annual work hours per worker have almost halved in Germany since 1950, but only seen a more modest decrease in the US. So political factors still play a role in how the benefits of increased productivity are used by society.

But it's a strong effect. And those numbers don't even consider other factors such as how increased life expectancy combined with mostly unchanged retirement age, and being older when we first start working, give people an extra decade or two of not being part of the workforce at all.
Redwoods are impressive, but I'm not exactly sure a trunk passing out of the photo is the peak of tree aesthetics. I'd imagine the northeast or the northwest or parts of the south have the strongest claims.

This sucks the most for everyone that never consented to genetic data collection, but they have it all anyway. If you were the only holdout in your family to not use 23andme, it doesn’t really matter since they know a lot about you anyway. Genetic information is fundamentally shared among a group, so you shouldn’t really be able to consent to disclose it in a way that allows a company to do whatever it wants with it. They haven’t obtained all of the consent.
Active noise cancelation is undoubtedly a factor. You can't cancel noise in real time.

Also, the market doesn't care about latency.
It's a good question and I have been thinking about it recently.

I think the biggest challenge is: if civilization does fall, e.g. due to a massive virus outbreak, and not enough people know how to produce industrialized products locally, it's going to be very tough.

So the immediately urgency is to bring some industries back.
> It's generally accepted as true that passing any one of them does not constitute fully general intelligence but the difficult part has been finding things that they cannot do.

It's pretty easy to find things they can't do. They lack a level of abstraction that even small mammals have, which is why you see them constantly failing when it comes to things like spacial awareness.

The difficult part is creating an intelligence test that they score badly on. But that's more of an issue with treating intelligence tests as if they're representative of general intelligence.

It's like have difficulty finding a math problem that Wolfram Alpha would do poorly on. If a human was able to solve all of these problems as well as Wolfram Alpha, they would be considered a genius. But Wolfram Alpha being able to solve those questions doesn't show that it has general intelligence, and trying to come up with more and more complicated math problems to test it with doesn't help us answer that question either.

Unraveling how a 'magnetic twist' induces one-way electric flow
Google 2025 is not the Google you remember and respect.

"GoogleAssociationService bot was kind enough to ask 1,000,000+ times yesterday for the same file from 4000+ Google IP addresses. Answer was the same 404 - File Not Found. The User-Agent does not provide a support link unlike their other bots." -- https://en.osm.town/@osm_tech/114205536438977922

Google absolutely does run "misbehaving bots", and has all the world renowned user support it's well know for from the teams running them, which means your best - perhaps only- option is to firewall off all Google ASNs.

With Google search's decline in usefulness and it's plummeting referral traffic, combined with their unashamed AI-grifting copyright infringement and IP theft, the tradeoff in the old thinking of "I need to let Google crawl my site because I still naively believe SEO will make my business successful" is rapidly moving towards "Fuck you Google, you don't get anything I publish for free anymore."
To be fair, that's a pretty common human behavior in my experience. ;p

I am American.

I did not vote for Trump and I think he belongs in prison. I am not responsible as an individual but as an American I do accept that elections have consequences that we are all collectively responsible for. Sovereignty rests with We The People.

The Democratic Party lost a crazy contest to a crazy man and honestly I'm even more furious with the Democrats for losing an election that they had absolutely no business losing than I am with Trump right now.

Regardless, my point was more that the Europeans seem to delight in their heavy-handed regulations and obnoxious court orders rather than address the real issue of why people feel the need to go out of their way to stream sports events via the black market or rolling up their sleeves and providing compelling alternatives to all of these big bad American tech companies they love to hate but can't stop using.

Its popular now because its showing up in tools people use so more backends are releasing MCP servers to access them, most are free so doubt its more than just a new fancy tool that people are excited about.

As for authentication most are locally run, or run on generic data like running a nodejs server mcp would be used locally by a team not exposed on the internet so access restrictions arent really needed
You need to give it a map. Write a markdown file explaining what you would like it to do, some relevant examples, what not to do, etc, then ask IT to draw up a plan for you to review. And then ask it to implement the plan.
To be fair, after seeing the posts I installed the filesystem MCP server made by Anthropic and it is a massive game changer for working with Claude Desktop to program. I guided Claude to develop a 3000 line python wrapper for ffmpeg for my library conversion project as handbrake wasn't automatic enough, Tdarr was overkill for my 1 machine solution, and I wanted a clean interface as I'm not an expert in video encoding.

It has been possibly the most fun I've ever had programming, as it's been unbelievably effective and quick. I believe the hype. I'll note I'm also very wary of the potential of malicious MCP servers and am rather hesitant to use any "community" projects, as much as it saddens me to feel I'm losing my trust in the open source community.

I disagree.

Site blocking is the lazy solution favored by bureaucrats who don't understand technology and as an easy way out for their tech companies from having to adapt to what the people are demanding (and getting from the black market instead). If the streaming services refuse to offer what the people want, then the people will bypass them.

How would that make them money? Every dollar saved in preventative care is $0.15 less profit, because insurers have a fixed profit margin as a percent of total care provided, due to the ACA's 85/15 rule .

The only reason to to do it would be to compete with a peer insurance company that is already doing it, resulting in less profit for both parties. The optimal strategy from the insurance profit perspective is to ban any DNA based cost saving measures for all insurance companies.

Your comment only makes sense if you agree with either premise behind (1) or (2).

I bet the vast majority of Europeans across all swaths of the political and socioeconomic strata would tell you that (1) Europe DOES NOT rely entirely on the US for its defense and (2) that Europe is NOT on a mad self destructive descent into totalitarianism.

In fact, as an American, id say (2) sounds vastly more applicable to the the USA under the current Republican administration.

Further, they'd also tell you to stop taking your talking points from those two bozos. It destroys your credibility by using them as any kind of reliable source of factual information.
