SpaceX's assembly and testing cadence is quite amazing. They're already putting together pieces of SN17!

Really twisting the use of the word advertisement here, it's the complete opposite really. Then again I'm guessing most only read headlines and hear what they want.

A small donation button next to GitHub projects or Reddit posts is not advertising.

Of course it should have an option to be disabled, without a doubt but for the most part it's no more intrusive than using RES on Reddit.

Netguard has per app blocking with logging/alerts, it's open source and on fdroid/play store.

People aren't going to like what they see. One that always annoyed me was a google services app pinging a geoip url everytime I connected to wifi.

Wondering what you use instead?

I run nextcloud on a $5 vps just like in this article, it's still underutilised. Out of the box my family can have access to certain folders and their own account, they can watch videos in the browser and I can have a selfhosted google docs/sheets alternative. All encrypted at rest.

The FBI has used covert operations against domestic political groups since its inception... COINTELPRO tactics are still used to this day and have been alleged to include discrediting targets through psychological warfare; smearing individuals and groups using forged documents and by planting false reports in the media; harassment; wrongful imprisonment; and illegal violence, including assassination. According to a senate report, the FBI's motivation was "protecting national security, preventing violence, and maintaining the existing social and political order"

The court of public opinion is far more important than real courts. You only have to look at enlightened HN comments on Ross Ulbright to see it in action, nearly all are convinced he's guilty of a charge that never went to trial and was dismissed with prejudice, which is rare.

Something I think many miss in the comments here is that even if you completely wiped out natural palm oil usage today that rainforest is still going to get cut down tomorrow.

It will simply just be a different crop, hey they might even raise cattle or buffalo or grow canola instead just to spite the West.

It's painful to watch people think that palm oil is the environmental problem when it's merely the symptom of far deeper issues that are much harder to solve.

Lecturing some family living in poverty to not cut down trees on their land is a bit rich if you look at the history of deforestation in the states and Europe in the last century, to that farmer you're trying to put out of business all he sees is hypocrisy and gatekeeping, not moral duty.

From memory they were looking at worstcase scenario of ±10km in a strip of search area. They were hoping to narrow it down with visual and other observations.

Guess we'll have to rely on other reporting to find out.

Terrestrial contamination in this instance is a serious scientific concern.

While not for the average consumer, most routers are easily jailbroken. They aren't locked to anywhere near the extent a mobile phone is.

Yes you can. It can stream a bunch of things along with regular tv.

keys to the server room

That's far beyond, keys to server room is access to basically every phone on the network. For nearly a decade or so any kid in a mall kiosk can pull off sim cloning attacks. Yet we still use sms as a second factor.

Hopefully the masses will see how futile it is a lot earlier this time.

The arrogance that led to that many deaths in WW1 is easily repeated by multiple parties

Stoicism comes to mind.

Why bother with a proof of work scheme when you can just rate-limit directly?

Tad amusing after all this time people still don't understand why proof-of-work schemes exist.

Rate limiting has zero cost to an adversary. PoW has physical costs. It's in the name :)

The EFF considers data pollution to be fairly useless. They've spoken a bit about it.

The Malaysian government is very far from legitimate.

It's run by the party who got dramatically voted out at the last election. Even their supporters call it a "backdoor" government.

The former PM who stole billions and was found guilty of all charges was sentenced to 12 years in prison yet still sits in Parliament while getting friendly media interviews, he gave a speech on the budget just the other day representing all of the backbench.

I always find the South China Sea discussions interesting because I'd love to hear who people actually think deserves ownership of it?

The Philippines is run by a proud mass murdering nutjob, Vietnam is China-lite, Brunei just tried to roll out the death penalty for gay people. Malaysia is steadily gaining more extreme Islamists in power who bizarrely blame the Jews for everything that goes wrong like it's a country run by 4chan.

Who exactly deserves all that oil and fish? It's none of the above in my opinion.

There's a huge number of things that don't "just work" on WSL. A quick search of site:github.com would confirm this.

That aside, plenty of people don't even use the command line and use linux for various other reasons. My dualboot laptop gets another hour of battery-only time, which is enough reason alone.

I'm a bit confused here, does copperhead still exist?

From what I gathered everyone moved on to graphene, including the original architect.

I've not seen anyone mention copperheadOS as a modern secure phone in a long time. Not trying to denigrate the post but it's somewhat strange to see them appear out of nowhere.

Also, on my barely secured, out of date firmware phone, the site doesn't work because I block js :/

Truly long for the day people at least attempt to make fallback no-js sites or at least text only static pages like some 90's ftp server for us weirdos who don't need nor want interactivity. Last I looked something like 80% of Android and 50% of apple phones were end of life and yet still used.

updating your website infrastructure so that it can serve enough read only viewers is not. This seems like basic incompetence to me.

This is modern webdev in a nutshell though.

It's not "incompetence", it's industry standard.

You can use 0.5.0-dev if you want stable rust.

It's hilarious how people on this site reacts at the mere mention of China on any topic. Everyone is apparently an expert.

Gitee has hosted a youtube-dl mirror for years.

I'm not sure how you are going to stay anonymous buying anything with a bank card.

Using cash then localmoneros or bisq would be fine.

How did you get access

Well judging by recent posts you get it by cold emailing the CEO repeatedly, writing blogspam articles of zero worth and making YouTube videos with flip charts. At this stage GPT-3 founders seem more concerned with marketing themselves as an exclusive club than actually producing anything of note.

Described as "The best access request" by Sam Altman

Cringeworthy. Yet to see anyone with access actually build a product with value, and that's before pricing kicks in.

Expect more hype, more clicks and then an exit.

You literally can't go 5km from your house in Australia. How exactly is that "fine wrt respect for human rights"?

More people have died in a few months from Covid in the US than the entire 5 years of WWI

Again, how is that just plain old dandy and nothing to think about?

This is the insanely stupid top voted comment I've come to expect from this site.

How to hide from a drone?

"Shine bright IR flashlights at it in a 100m radius around your position"

Get the feeling if someone was dropping 100yr old mortars on you this still isn't a viable option.

I try my best not to get personal but this is so fucking dumb that it almost feels like malicious advice for the current hot warzones that exist right now.

Incredibly strange view, because additive 3d metal printed parts are being used in high powered automotive and aviation right now.

Perhaps check out some of the leading contenders in the field and reconsider that appeal-to-authority stance?

Do you know much about IPFS? It's top of class for distributed storage.

I'm interested to know what you think is a better value proposition?

Except he walked straight into another CEO position and it's never been a problem despite everyone knowing about his donation to a political group.

Literally all he did was monetarily support a cause ($3,100) in private. He was not out there making statements or instituting changes to the company.

What does that have to do with "leadership and communications"?

I certainly don't align with his political position but respect people's right to hold one without fear or favour.

It has to be one of the most egregious acts of employee activism. And look where it got Mozilla now, the politically palatable replacement has driven it into the ground while it's only held afloat with money from Google.

You are talking about something along the lines of fully homomorphic encryption there.

There's no CI/CD provider that can give you that. There's barely anyone on Earth that can run you a Hello World with FHE, let alone offering it as a service to build binaries.

You do in bitwise AND calculations.
