vscode-rest··on ‘ELITE’: The Palantir app ICE uses to find neighborhoods to raid
Contractor makes sense, consultant is a bit weird because the typical understanding is that a consultant comes in to share knowledge, not build product.

Yes. If you worked at pltr as a FDE you are now wealthy.
vscode-rest··on Eat Real Food
The superset of all Euro vaccines is still much smaller than what the US had. Are we that much healthier?
vscode-rest··on Eat Real Food
Are you familiar with any European country that does schedule a dengue vaccine? It is not listed here: https://vaccine-schedule.ecdc.europa.eu/

The end result of his vax push has been to reduce the set of government required vaccines down to the same set used by Europe already. Additional vaccination is still available should an individual elect.

Are you of the opinion that the European recommendation is insufficient? Would you petition European healthcare industry that they are requiring too few vaccines? If so, I would expect Europeans to be chronically far more diseased than Americans, do we see that in the data?

vscode-rest··on Efficient method to capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Would it increase the steady state surface air pressure by 50%, or would more molecules offgas into outer space to compensate?

If the latter, it might actually work. Assuming they offgas at-proportion. Which they probably wouldn’t…

vscode-rest··on Staying ahead of censors in 2025
You misunderstand the game.

It’s all about who considers what a bad look.

Follow the money. Five eyes pay for TOR to exist.
vscode-rest··on Staying ahead of censors in 2025
You must keep in mind TOR is funded in large part by the US government. It’s a bad look for them to put their allies in the same list as their enemies.

Encryption isn’t ITAR.
vscode-rest··on We replaced H.264 streaming with JPEG screenshots (and it worked better)
1Mbps for video is rule of thumb I use. Of course that will depend on customer expectations. 500K can work, but it won’t be pretty.
vscode-rest··on French supermarket's Christmas advert is worldwide hit (without AI) [video]
It’s okay to eat fish because they don’t have any feelings.
vscode-rest··on A “frozen” dictionary for Python
Ah. Of course… that’s how the workaround to use tuples as frozen dicts can work in the first place. Slow morning for me!
vscode-rest··on A “frozen” dictionary for Python
Tuple entries must be hashable, which (as far as standard library is concerned) means immutable.
vscode-rest··on California High-Speed Rail: Draft Environmental Report for LA to Anaheim Section
Somewhat concerned that the only options considered were sharing track with the existing freight/passenger trains. This section is notoriously slow and unreliable already. I’d much prefer some new metal laid down that is specifically dedicated to high speed travel. Anyone know if that was considered and subsequently shot down elsewhere?

Full report is here: https://hsr.ca.gov/programs/environmental-planning/project-s...

vscode-rest··on Counter Galois Onion: Improved encryption for Tor circuit traffic
Quantum isn’t the problem. Majority-internet telemetry is.
vscode-rest··on Android and iPhone users can now share files, starting with the Pixel 10
Not everything needs to be tailored only to the most trivial use case.

AirDrop is cool because it works offline with relatively high bandwidth using local RF. If you want to wait for you and the target to transmit all the data to/from some server 1000 miles away (using up your precious bandwidth quota along the way) that’s always been an option.
vscode-rest··on WebTransport is almost here to allow UDP-like exchange in the browser
port fwd through localhost?
vscode-rest··on I invited strangers to message me through a receipt printer
Genesis 1:29, anyone?
vscode-rest··on Tesla is heading into multi-billion-dollar iceberg of its own making
Ah cool. My FJ is the same. Great system.

They won’t be able to sell in USA without a backup camera, curious what their plan is there.
vscode-rest··on Postman which I thought worked locally on my computer, is down
The REST Book extension was made by a VS Code dev and does a decent enough chunk of what is needed, at least for simple use cases.

Handy Dandy Notebook as well, but that requires some reformulation to get everything in terms of standard curl/node/python/etc commands. (whether that’s better or worse than a custom http dsl is a matter of some debate)
