Yes, DO have stated that how they viewed credits was a mistake and that they will be addressing it.

Thanks for sharing this. That article is very interesting. I only thought about the fact that squirrels were a native species and didn't consider the fact that cities are not "natural".

I saw like 10+ people deciding to switch from "superphones" down to mid-range models

Mid-range phones now cost as much as previous "superphones". The iPhone launched at $499($615 after inflation) and the latest iPhone XS launched at $999.

In what sense did humans import squirrels to the bay area?

The primary benefit of Diceware over a "random" string of characters is that it is easy to remember and truly random. With a password manager you don't need to remember the password and it will be generated truly randomly. A string of 11 random alphanumeric charatcers has more entropy than a 5 word diceware passphrase with the added benefit that it is less to type if you need to do so manually. But diceware can be a good idea for creating the master password for your password manager and if you do that you should probably use a 10 word passphrase rather than 5.

Simon didn't see the growing population as a catastrophic problem. He explained that we are not like any other species. We have an economy and markets. So, according to Simon, if the world demands more oil, the price of oil will go up, and there will be an incentive to find more, or find an alternative.

Simon proposed that they bet on what would happen to the price of five metals — copper, chromium, nickel, tin and tungsten — over a decade.

And the logic was that these metals were essential for all kinds of stuff — electronics, cars, buildings. So, if Ehrlich was right, more people on the planet would mean we would start running out of stuff, and the price of these things should go up.

Those next 10 years, from 1980 to 1990, crept by. The world population grew by 800 million people. Then it was 1990. And they tallied it up. Simon, the economist, decisively won. Prices for the five metals went down by an average of 50 percent.

One of the reasons the prices dropped was just what Simon said. The catastrophe Ehrlich was predicting just did not happen. People invented substitutes, like companies switching from aluminum to plastic for packaging.

cia.gov for Social Justice Warriors. Pretty sure he was just making a joke and only the first 9 characters were actually being tried for.

Probably because his residence is listed as "Bel Air, Los Angeles, California" on his Wikipedia page.

There are forks such as ungoogled-chromium but why would you use them when you could just use Firefox?

uBO definitely seems like it would have bad search engine discoverability.

can be compelled to release it

Yes, but the point that they are contending is whether they _voluntarily_ provide this data.

Which statement in their transparency report corroborates it?

They have done several things including:

- enabled IP logging against a specific user account

- disabled an account and rendered assistance

- comply with the data request, to the extent that it is possible, given our cryptography.

The unknowns are what assistance they render and what extent is possible for them to comply with data requests. They have complied with requests without court orders in cases when they believed a court order was inevitable. They have also delayed reporting incidents at the request of authorities in order to not endanger victims.

If you add www[0] to the beginning of the org website it redirects you to the net website[1].

The downloads on both sites are hosted on the same site but they do point to different versions[2][3].

Both pages link to the same BuyMeACoffee page[4].

The GitHub repository has a link to the net[5].

But the GitHub profile of the developer links the the org[6].

Very old versions[7] and the current version[8] of the wikipedia page list the org as the official website.

The org seems to have been the site for the project since as early as 2012 according to the wayback[9].

However the net doesn't seem to have been associated with the project (or anything) before 2019[10].

The most recent crawls of the org got 301 redirected to the net[11].

Breaking up a monopoly requires that said monopoly be bad for society

This has not been true historically. Standard Oil was not "bad for society".

I don't think there is a hard limit on number of people.

Humans through our metabolic process generate waste heat and Earth can only radiate so much so that does put a hard cap, albeit one much higher than people generally image, but a cap nonetheless. If we assume only the heat generated by our metabolic process that puts the limit over 250 trillion[0] but if we account for energy for food and industrial purposes that puts the limit closer to 10 trillion[1].

The job of the police is to enforce laws. Whether this helps you is ancillary.

How often do gas stations move locations?

We don't need to do that. Earth could support a population of a trillion humans so a few 10s of billions is of little concern.

Use PaleMoon, Basilisk, or IceCat.

What if they host their own shit on a VPS but the hosting provider bans them. What if their domain name gets revoked by the registrar?

If you count Chinese who are using Pinyin that jumps to being a majority using latin.

You could try compiling with and without `-gcflags '-N -l'`

`-N` disables optimization and `-l` disables in-lining.

I also found this[0] page which lists some optimizations done by the compiler.

edit: You can see what the compiler emits as assembly code with `-gcflags '-S'` so you can compare the optimized vs unoptimized assembly.

NT can not run Linux binaries. That is why Microsoft are now shipping a full Linux kernel for WSL 2. WSL 1 translated Linux syscalls to NT in the same way that WINE does in the reverse.

Just one data point but compare the RAM usages in this comparison: http://archive.fo/eB8If

Hasty and radical changes will certainly lead to even more harm.

These past few months I have noticed several popular posts dissuading people from using VPNs. What do these people have to gain from people _not_ using VPNs?
