>>We must bring the security to each individual endpoint.

>Why? Why must we treat adults as children

I am suggesting the opposite. Rather than treat adults as children and censoring what they can and can not see. I am suggesting we give them the skills to critically analyze input they receive.

> that we have been entrusted with, and that it is our responsibility to give them 'mental medicine'? What makes our thinking superior to others' that we need to lord over them in this way?

Why provide any education at all then? As a society it is our responsibility to skill the next generation with the skills they need to operate in our society. I believe critical thinking skills is one of these required skills.

> I believe that these ideals are bottom-up. We form governments that align with the ideals of the people, not the other way around

I agree with this. But to get the best form of government we need educated and intelligent citizens.

> If the people out of choice or ignorance no longer care about the ideals of liberal democracy, who are we to force them onto others?

We really are fucked then aren't we. I kind of like living in a liberal democracy. If we throw our current system out due to ignorance I am very confident what comes next will not be superior. I'm not willing to accept that as path we take.

To be clear i did say a "national initiative" not a "national curriculum".

I agree 100%. The lack of critical thinking skills in this country is a national security threat. We need a national initiative improve the baseline education and critical thinking skills of the next generation.

The powers that be, haven't got the memo yet that it doesn't benefit them anymore to have a populous which is easily manipulated. In the past, old media acted as parameter control, though concentrated ownership. Sure they had vested interests, but they were generally alined with American values; capitalism, stable democracy, international leadership by America, etc. But now each of the 340 million brains in this country can be accessed directly by foreign adversaries. Parameter control can not work anymore, unless we shut down the internet. We must bring the security to each individual endpoint.

Some will argue that we should shutdown the internet or censor it. But is that the world we want to live in? That would stifle economic growth and i do not believe it is compatible with the ideals of liberal democracies.

But the grocery store doesn't do surgeries or tennis lessons. If the grocery store was responsible for surgeries and doing a bad job, i absolutely would defund them and give the money to surgeons instead. Surgeons are trained at doing surgery. See what i did there? Same applies to police dealing with mental ill people. Mental health professionals should be involved instead.

This sounds like an absurd analogy but only because America doesn't know how to operate community services in any other way than with a heavy police force. It's a failure of imagination and / or unwilling to look at the rest of the world for successful examples of alternative methods.

Well yes. But it goes both ways. I would argue that the Right doesn't have the ability to have a nuance discussion around this topic either. They read the headline "defund the police" and assume that means less police to deal with violent crimes. "defund the police" means to reallocate resources from police to people better capable of resolving low impact community issues. And let the police deal with violent crimes. If done properly you might see more police resources available to keep the community safe from violent crime.

Those 127 SAN's have wildcards which are not the left most label, which as i interpret it would be a violation of rule 1.

yeah but i think you'll have a hard time finding a client library which will consider the certificate valid. If it does i would consider it broken.

This is not a valid certificate. See https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6125#section-6.4.3

  1. The client SHOULD NOT attempt to match a presented identifier in which the wildcard character comprises a label other than the left-most label (e.g., do not match bar.*.example.net).

  2. If the wildcard character is the only character of the left-most label in the presented identifier, the client SHOULD NOT compare against anything but the left-most label of the reference identifier (e.g., *.example.com would match foo.example.com but not bar.foo.example.com or example.com).

Existing property owners have too much control to prevent new construction. Consciously and subconsciously they restrict new construction to boost property values. IMO most of SF's problems can be traced back to this. And it's a vicious cycle. Once you're in debt up to your eyeballs for your home, you do not want to see the problem fixed. SF city doesn't want it fixed either because they want more property tax dollars.

Of course there are other problems too but they would be easier to solve with cheaper property prices. California should tax property at their current market values instead of purchase price. This would fix the tax sort fall and put downward pressure on property prices.

Actually no, it's so they can afford a 500sf apartment.

It's a great result, but it's not perfect. No need for the "perfect" hyperbole in the title.

US institutions are struggling! That is reality. Take your ego out of the picture and let Jack Ma save lives.

We're not talking about cancer tests here. We're in a pandemic. The value we would get out of 500k tests for covid-19 with a 3% error rate is far superior to 500 tests with an error rate of 1%. Give me the 500k tests please!

Sometimes its not a good idea for the health of a service to be determined by its connected parts (eg databases). For purely situational awareness this is fine. But if you use the healthcheck to determine if an instance of an application should be taken out of service you risk cascading failures; turning 1 problem into 10. It's usually better for the application to throw an error if it can't connect to the database. That said I do both approaches depending on the situation.

So did it. I didn't know if it was a service or a library or if it integrates with something. Looks like it's a library for Rust. I think mentioning Rust would speed up the understanding of where this sits

Thank you. I did not know that

Tax credits don't help people who are struggling to pay day to day bills. What good is a tax credit they'll receive up to a year later? When your horizon is 2 weeks, you're going to prioritize food & accommodation before a health insurance plan.

I think you're prematurely jumping to the defense of this bank. What we do know is that the customer service rep was able to read the user's password in plaintext. Even if there is a "legitimate" reason for storing in a retrievable format (probably due to compatibility with legacy systems) the fact that the customer service rep could access that password tells me they do not have appropriate access control.

Well i'd say dossy is right. Because he's assigning "Rice cooker" to equal "hipster Instant Pot". Thus we know that they are the same value. You are only doing a test. We don't know for sure if your conditional returns true.

That's unfortunate. Yang himself isn't very dogmatic / ideological. But his supporters are very passionate about his candidacy. So i can see your bad experiences happening. I support Yang; not sure if i would call myself Yang Gang...

For me personally, Yang is the first political candidate who sees and reasons about the world in a similar way to myself. He's a systems thinker. Everything in society is connected and to correctly address issues you have to understand how one component will influence another. That is very exciting for me!

He has a lot of policies, i don't agree with all of them but i'm a lot more aligned with him than any other candidate. Left or right.

The reason i was referencing export % vs production % is that a change in the availability of coal for import would change the market price differently than if we assumed that all coal produced is available on the international market (which is false).

But yes 6% in absolute terms is worth caring about.

Australia needs to exit the export coal business. We should go dig some other rocks up out of the ground, we have a lot of them...

We are responsible for 37% of global coal exports. That's massive. If we halt coal exports it would put a squeeze on the coal supply and that raise prices; probably significantly. Coal power plants are already on thin margins. If cost of coal increased for a sustained period (a few years) coal would be considered unviable as a fuel source. We should see a lot of the plants close down.

Australia always talks about its self as being insignificant and anything we could do to help prevent climate change would have no measurable impact. This incorrect relatively and absolutely, we are one of the largest per capita emitters. But we are also the third largest exporter of fossil fuels.

This is Australia's opportunity to actually do something significant to help address climate change.

I don't think Discord makes any claims that the audio is P2P encrypted. There are legitimate reasons why Discord might be dropping malformed packets, apart from an indication that they are spying on you (they may be doing that too).

1) to improve audio quality.

2) to help prevent RCE attacks on the destination client.

3) re-encoding at lower bitrates for low bandwidth clients.

I don't really see the issue here unless Discord claimed they do not decrypt the audio.

These sound like implementation issues. Why does compile time suck? Do you cache compiled files and update only what has changed? Are you doing minimization and / or compressing in development? If compile time isn't under a second during development, you're doing it wrong.

"Australia is the world’s largest coal exporter, – accounting for 35 per cent of all coal exported" https://www.australianmining.com.au/features/where-does-aust...

If Australia stopped coal exports, we could have a significant impact on the viability of coal as a fuel source. If we're serious about climate change we could halt coal exports immediately, which would spike the cost of coal and lead to the closure of coal plants already on thin margins. Sounds drastic but maybe not if you consider how little time we have to correct course.

We'd need take care of the coal workers. Potentially continue their salaries for a year, then phase it out gradually. There's only $35k workers in the coal industry. Average $100k salary = $3.5 Billion per year. Doable.

I don't know what to do with the coal mines and their investors. I'm inclined to say screw them. Let them go bankrupt. But this might hurt investor confidence in Australia ...

This would be useful outside of "hiding from law enforcement". Plenty of people have jobs where the compromise of their laptop could cause significant damage to their employer or their customers. Many people ready this thread should be taking these precautions.

I think it's funny that people feel entitled to these property tax breaks. I'm less concerned about individuals feeling left out, and more concerned about the systemic issues lack of home ownership for this generation will cause. We've distorted the market so much through a variety of bad policies, i don't think it is an unreasonable request to start reversing the trend.

Because they have a house and ~$1.9M in free equity. The younger generation doesn't have that opportunity. If they can't afford the property tax they can downsize easily. It's not easy for young people to afford $2M houses, especially when paying high state income taxes to make up for the lack of sufficient property taxes.

It's disappointing that you were downvoted so much without a response. Really i think you just hurt the egos of Americans.

I believe a stronger Europe and stronger western bloc is key to curbing China. The USA is close to peak economic and military might, but we only have 310 million people. China has 1.4 billion. Extrapolating current trends, it is inevitable that China becomes the world super power. Most likely bankrupting the USA in the process. Similar patterns to USA overtaking the UK, or USSR.

To make a stronger Europe, Europe should federalize its military. Then to make a stronger western bloc, there should be tighter economic integration between Europe and US. This would involve freer movement of people and some kind North Atlantic economic zone. Then the western bloc has close to a billion people powering its might. That is a good counter weight to China. But if everyone deals with China individually, we all loose.

The Federal Government could purchase the patents for GM crops after they've been developed and proven to be safe. Then make the crop freely available.

You'd probably want some kind of purchase agreement where the crop developer gets annual payments based on how much the crop is used over a period of time.
