Right. Like how you don't care about the persons' physics knowledge when hiring an architect. /s

Now I know what IP addresses concepts are originating from.

I can nowretrieve ostensibly blocked resources via my peers, instead.

Use a DNS whitelist for this one.

You could have a private web on something like CJDNS.

Sounds a bit sad though.

Interesting triplet of Chrome extensions.

Not enough comparison to PNG. Source indicates borrowing heavily from PNG though. Am I missing something here about a relation / coevolution between these formats?

Seems oversimplified to me. Not one mention of authentication and single-sign-on in the article.

"Oh, and your "multi-billion" budget is real?"

Yup.

"Now you're telling me they're willingly lugging around millions of tons of this chemtrail stuff just because?"

No dude, I'm telling you they're doing it for money.

"You've pulled this entire nonsense out of your ass. Chemtrails have zero plausibility due to how massive an undertaking it would be to make that happen."

"Now you want me to believe that this is a worldwide phenomenon and nobody, absolutely nobody, has ever found any hard evidence?"

I'm here talking with you about it. I even have footage of this stuff on video. Sent you some like 20 minutes ago.

Did the chemtrail program start in your lifetime or is it something you've been forced to inherit?

"Contrails occur differently at different altitudes due to temperature gradients."

Thanks. I'll look into this.

"Multi billion?"

That's the budget.

"For chemtrails to be real it's a multi-trillion dollar undertaking."

That's a figure you've pulled out of your behind.

"A 787 contains around 33,000 gallons of fuel, or about 162 tonnes."

Naphtha-kerosene's already a blend.

"And why? For what? Who benefits?"

Are you going to verify the phenomena for yourself?

Thanks.

"[quoted text] is a subtle jab at my intelligence." -- No it's not. It just means the initial post was very simple and wasn't intended for readers who're in denial when experiencing reality.

Here's some empirical evidence of chemtrails, in case this is the first of its kind that you've ever received I also suggest paying attention to the sky in your local neighbourhood at around 6am and 6pm.

Saying "conspiracies too grandiose to be real" may be akin to saying "organization too grandiose to be real" when only talking about one program within a multi billion dollar black budget.

That said there are indeed grandiose conspiracies that do make chemtrails look simple by comparison: https://i.imgur.com/SbCArRO.jpg

Best thing I did was read the book of Proverbs (KJV), FWIW.

I agree now that the basis for chemtrails could have done with being established in my initial post.

For some reason I assumed other HN users had had similar experiences I've had with seeing them right next to contrails in real life.

Wasn't intending to produce entertainment to consume. Just wanted to provoke serious, thoughtful discussion of the likelihood that these phenomena are related.

I appreciate you challenging my initial post in this thread. Thanks for the reality check.

Finding a balance is constant and inescapable anyway, is it not?

I didn't elaborate on my train of thought because it's a three-point train of thought. No offense.

"conspiracy theory" is widely understood to be a derisive term the CIA had to invent after they shot Kennedy.

Here's a contrail next to a chemtrail on video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kcTvqiMNl8

My comment is not erratic. Saying my comment is erratic is like saying you're afraid of loud noises.

My comment does not have "spurious" relation to the article. My comment has a holistic big-picture relation to the article.

What's up with it?

I was speaking to a different entity. The mod I was speaking to probably wouldn't use an ad hominem as their basis for an unrealistic forecast.

What is it I'm doing wrong and why is this an inappropriate forum for it?

That's f'n awesome. Many thanks!

Is it possible to have the lasso tool return a list of selected data points?

Super happy with HCL for over a year in production now.

I've only got one FOSS project using HCL but I think of its' bundled HCL config file is an attractive part of its UX: https://github.com/LukeB42/psyrcd

Engineer behind REBIM here. I've spent the last one and half years developing an AEC SaaS platform that includes

* A project-based document management system that has baked-in version control.

* Issue and Task trackers.

* Soft realtime features such as notifications when models are converted, when anyone comments on an issue or task you've logged and a realtime chat system.

* A browser-based model viewer with the ability to:

* Federate multiple models from various project disciplines into one scene.

* Take screenshots of the scene, mark them up and log issues and tasks on model assets with the marked up screenshots straight away.

* Associate documents with model objects.

* Hold conversations on model objects.

* Store / review feeds from the built counterparts of modelled assets.

Entities that aren't media corporations tend to suck at holding a crowds' attention relative to media corporations.

You can't <airquotes> fix </airquotes> that by "rebuilding the web".

That sounds super useful. Does it create its own window as a Python library or am I missing something?

I see it's possible to convert to Numpy arrays. Is `perspective` also a Python library?

A P2P caching proxy for in front of your existing browser: https://github.com/Psybernetics/Synchrony

I love whoever's responsible for this.

If you wish this existed for web pages: https://github.com/psybernetics/synchrony

Synchrony is an intended solution to centralisation written back in 2015 after being designed since around 2011: http://github.com/psybernetics/Synchrony though this implementation also ships a peer-to-peer hyperdocument editor baked into the core of the UI so the Python PoC is a bit of a mutant.

Currently aiming to release a Go implementation at some point after canning a C implementation earlier this year, where p2p is instead accessed via CONNECT proxy.

Is there any interest in this project?

Nah I maintain "Survive and replicate" is a sub-problem in the larger "Perfect ones' Soul" objective function.

The objective function for humans seems to be "Perfect the Human Soul" which can have conflicting optima in different contexts. Obviously no other mammal optimizes for it, either. See any slice of human culture or human activity ever for reference. Thanks for putting this slideshow together.
