This reminds me of Aereo. They provided each user with their own individual TV antenna, DVR and streaming server. Their case went to the Supreme Court but they ultimately lost. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aereo

A lot of US semiconductor fabs are in New Mexico. Some were even built on Navajo land. It's an industry where Native Americans were well represented.

You still have to make decisions about your own life. Are you going to settle down in region that is expected to dry up or be hit by mega-storms?

I am avoiding settling down in parts of the country that seem to be on a bad climate trajectory. We are still seeing a mass migration to the US sunbelt and that doesn't seem like a good idea long term.

It hasn't crashed for me in a very long time. IOS now (reluctantly) lets you set it as the default browser, although you'll need to hunt around the settings.

If you just want light-weight mirroring I recommend lsyncd. For example work if you want to work on code locally and have it mirrored on a remote host. It's more reliable because it just mirrors files rather than mounting file systems or block devices.

  Lsyncd uses a filesystem event interface (inotify or fsevents) to watch for changes to local files and directories. Lsyncd collates these events for several seconds and then spawns one or more processes to synchronize the changes to a remote filesystem. The default synchronization method is rsync. Thus, Lsyncd is a light-weight live mirror solution. Lsyncd is comparatively easy to install and does not require new filesystems or block devices. Lysncd does not hamper local filesystem performance.

Beautiful Soup got me my first job.

I also want an RTS that doesn't turn into a RSI speedrun. Your idea for APM limits is great, but my idea is that AI could handle micro. Let Deepmind control each unit while the user gives high level commands.

At this point what is stopping browsers from removing all this cruft?

> ... it works the same way and largely generates the same machine code

How can they make this determination? Do they just eyeball a few sections of the machine code from each output? Is there some tool that can compare binaries? Is this just a very literal, function by function, translation from C to Rust?

I don't know much reading/comparing machine code.

I'm running firejail now and It doesn't look like it runs as root.

> May I ask, how big is your anti-war tent? For example, in my experience the most anti-war people are anarchists (sometimes disambiguated to anarcho-socialists) and anarcho-capitalists.

I came in through left-wing organizing and I've worked with a few groups. Some are officially non-ideological except for being anti-war (but if I had to place them I'd say liberal-left) like Peace Action https://www.peaceaction.org/. They have a lot of members form the Vietnam era Peace movement.

Other visible contributors to the anti-war movement are socialist orgs like DSA and ANSWER Coalition. DSA has a bigger base, but ANSWER really tends to be ahead on organizing street events. Then there are various solidarity groups for countries like El Salvador or Palestine. The Latin American solidarity groups from the Dirty Wars of the 1980s still exist.

These left leaning groups would never work with right-wing groups, and for what it's worth you almost never see right-wing groups try to seriously organize anti-war, or at least they way they organize/lobby is very different.

American here, and I am involved with the US anti-war movement. I really wish we could get 5% involved with the movement, but people don't get interested unless it starts affecting them or their family. To this day, the most active members of the US anti-war movement are baby boomers because they were being drafted to fight in Vietnam. The US ended the draft after Vietnam.

The sanctions in Russia could build resistance to the war in Russia, but they could also backfire if the Western governments do not set reasonable criteria for removing the sanctions. So far they have not indicated how to end sanctions.

If Western governments will only remove sanctions if Putin is thrown out, than I fear that there is little chance the war will end soon. The Syrian sanctions will never end without regime change so the sanctions are purely punitive.

There are a lot of goofy theories about the JFK assassination, but I don't think you can dismiss all of them. The theory that makes the most sense to me is that Oswald was part of it, but that he also was set up to be the fall guy.

There is evidence that Oswald was recruited by US intelligence when he was a teen in the Civil Air Patrol, and that he had gone to the Soviet Union as a false defector (the Soviets did the same to the US). He was part of operation to kill JFK, but then he was set up to be the fall guy behind his back. He claimed he was a patsy before he was he was killed.

If he wasn't working for the government than some of his actions and associations before the assassination are just baffling. It's also a mystery why he was able to return to the US without any issues after defecting.

I had no idea about this. Did Jules Verne really have to be the originator or every science fiction sub-genre? What a jerk.

A key witness against Assange is a convicted pedophile and sociopath who was being paid by the US government and offered immunity in exchange for his testimony. He has since admitted that his testimony was false. https://caitlinjohnstone.com/2021/06/27/assange-prosecution-...

They've been right about so many things, but if you make the kind of big moves they do you're going to be wrong from time to time.

My kid took a routine test and was found to have 5.0 μg/dL, which is elevated but not alarming. The source is most likely paint chips or dust. I'm in an old building which has lead paint that was painted over. It's totally legal to just paint over the lead paint, but since the building is settling the paint on the door frames often chips off.

My landlord has been good about offering to strip in repaint the frames, but I would rather not because I feel like all of the scraping would place even more lead chips and dust in the environment. I'd rather be diligent about cleaning and have them do that strip it after we move.

It's really good, both as a drama with great characters, and as a show about tech.

This reminds me of a great scene from "Halt and Catch Fire". The lead engineer, Gordon, is supposed to be making dinner for his kids and putting them to bed while his wife is away, but he notices a small leak from the kitchen sink. He then drops all plans and next you see him under the sink. Marital problems ensue.

It's about a still life photographer. These are very beautiful photos.

I appreciate that this exists. Writing the CLI is the most annoying parts starting a new bash script.

This is the first time I've seen x-rated Corporate Memphis https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Memphis

Great post. One of the reason the 9/11 wars went so badly is because the concept of "war profiteering" had almost entirely disappeared from American politics by the 2000s. Or at least the political will to combat it was gone.

When there was a draft and people were invested in the outcome of the wars, politicians made their names by going after war profiteers.

It is very cranky, no denying that.

The founder of the site, Robert Parry, uncovered US involvement in Contra cocaine trafficking during the 80s. Nobody denied the facts, but by the time the story came out American political culture had become more conservative (Reaganism) and people weren't as interested in hearing about covert crimes the way they were in the 70s (Watergate).

Parry got drummed out of the journalism for not towing the line and became somewhat bitter. It's not my only source of news, but it can be refreshing to read something that quickly attempts to poke holes in mainstream narratives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Parry_(journalist)

> But anyway, accusing an organization of having a pro-USA bias isn't a strong criticism against a domestic USA project.

There are laws against domestic propaganda. For instance, the CIA is not allowed to plant stories in US media.

The German Marshall fund is part of USAID and USAID was founded by the members of the CIA. They're sister organizations that service the same political goals. It should raise eyebrows that USAID wants to construct a domestic propaganda operation.

I think your point is valid, but I would like to point our that PBS has a lot of great stuff on Youtube. I think there is a role for public broadcasting, but it will probably be marginal.

> who gets to decide what is disinformation/misinformation?

I certainly hope it isn't the authors of this paper, the German Marshall Fund. The GMF funds their own propaganda like the Alliance for Securing Democracy, and they are funded by USAID. USAID overtly does what the CIA used to do covertly. https://consortiumnews.com/2020/02/13/state-backed-alliance-...

Oh I did not know that that was a part of the Fairness Doctrine. The balance requirement was much more well know.

> The fairness doctrine had two basic elements: It required broadcasters to devote some of their airtime to discussing controversial matters of public interest ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FCC_fairness_doctrine

Either way, it's no longer a requirement.

IMO most of the problems with news stem from how it is funded. Advertising and back-room deals are not a good way to fund journalism. Cable news producers get ratings updates every 5 minutes and adjust their content according to what keeps people watching.

This is shameful either way, but per the NBC article it sounds like they will need a few years to be sure the lake is warming:

> A full thermal study hasn't been produced and won't be until 2023, but residents protesting the plant say the lake is warmer with Greenidge operating. Greenidge recently published average discharged water temperatures from March 1 to April 17, during the trout spawning season; they were around 46 degrees to 54 degrees, with differences between inflow and outflow of 5 degrees to 7.5 degrees.

https://www.nbcnews.com/science/environment/some-locals-say-...

But apparently they plan to expand this business model.

> In March, Greenidge said its Bitcoin mining capacity of 19 megawatts should reach 45 megawatts by December and may ramp to 500 megawatts by 2025 as it replicates its model elsewhere. Larger gas-fired plants in the U.S. have capacities of 1,500 to 3,500 megawatts.
