Apple has far more money than hobbyists to commit to AI spend (and access to source code) to find exploits and patch them. We might see new jailbreaks for older phones that have stopped receiving updates, but the bar for newer phones will probably be even higher than it is today.

From the Wikipedia article about the NSF:

> With an annual budget of about $9.9 billion (fiscal year 2023), the NSF funds approximately 25% of all federally supported basic research conducted by the United States' colleges and universities. In some fields, such as mathematics, computer science, economics, and the social sciences, the NSF is the major source of federal backing [...] Since the technology boom of the 1980s, the U.S. Congress has generally embraced the premise that government-funded basic research is essential for the nation's economic health and global competitiveness, and for national defense.

Spam isn't the only challenge of going self-hosted and it's cool to tie into an existing ecosystem for identity. Also it's pretty neat that people can engage outside of your website while you still get to pick what gets surfaced on your own website.

I read "with a fake mustache" as just another way of saying "in disguise," not that it literally looks like a mustache

For me it is lovely because it exploits the fact that the order does not matter mathematically, but it matters in our heads.

Multiplication commutes (a fact pointed out by everyone) but our human brains are better at multiplying some numbers or fractions than others. Computing 50% of 34 is easier than 34% of 50 because we are more accustomed to cutting things in half than multiplying two-digit numbers.

And it's even more lovely when you realize that this applies equally to computers where you may have to rearrange terms or rewrite formulas to get better numerical stability.

In particular, I wonder how people set up their health insurance while on these epic bike tours. It makes sense that costs are minimal, you can have savings, etc. but insurance is usually tied to employment around here..

It's possible to weld an aluminum frame but you'll have to heat treat it, at which point it's no longer a simple and cheap operation.

As the other commenter says, you can get pretty granular with the permissions. If you want to go even further, you can build a Cloudflare Worker that performs exactly the request that you want to do, and nothing else. Then you can configure your router to hit that instead of the API directly.

If you recall, the original contention was that "You cannot make money off of people who are starving." Clearly you can—in the short term, and enabled by violent coercion, as you've helpfully added.

My argument summed up is that slavery was a "local maximum" that A) generated an enormous amount of wealth early on, and was thus a crucial factor in developing the American economy, even if it was no longer the main driver of wealth by the time of the civil war, and B) made it unattractive for the south to risk seeking a global maximum (investing in industrialization) a strategic misstep for sure.

It's clear which strategy wins long term, I don't think that's a debate. I should have phrased my earlier comment better, sorry.

Do you understand the difference between starting an engine and keeping it running? I'm referring to northern wealth btw.

> Where were the industries in the South? Where were the industries in South America?

They weren't there precisely because slave labor was so profitable that they did not see the need to industrialize.

> Why did the South secede to protect their economy from the North?

The south seceded in order to protect the institution of slavery.

> Take a look at contemporary photos and paintings of the North and South before 1865

Good thing we don't measure wealth by photos and paintings, and instead we have census data. Be serious, think about why an economy based on slave labor and agriculture would not build a network of railroads even if they had the money for it.

Slavery created the wealth that made industrialization in the north possible, and was the basis of the economic machine that you speak of.

You've reduced slavery to a parenthetical. Where do you think the cotton and tobacco went? Where do you think the money came from? Where do you think it got spent?

Indeed the arrangement is violent and enforced with terrible violence, and in no way is this incompatible with profits.

You can force starving people into unfair arrangements where the choice is between getting screwed or dying of hunger. You can use the existence of starving people as a threat to keep your work force in line. Sometimes it's not even the starving people that you're making money off of, but their minerals and land.

There are a lot of ways to profit from suffering. And sometimes it's not even about profit—it can just feel so good to have an Other to oppress.

yes, the way people dared to board planes pre-9/11, and the way people dare to board trains, buses, and ferries today.

It's an attractive idea that the surface of one's body can tell you something about its inner truth, but it's incorrect. The field is called physiognomy, which is a pseudoscience that's been the basis of scientific racism and eugenic programs.

Some names you can look up are Johann Lavater, as well as Alphonse Bertillon, inventor of the mugshot, and Francis Galton, inventor of composite portraiture.

If it's something like a resource locator or questionnaire, then doing the processing locally in JS is in fact better for privacy than sending personal data over the network. It's nice when websites work without JS but you are a deeply unserious engineer if you think that there are no tradeoffs involved.

The standard solution for dating apps is to snap the location to the nearest x kilometer grid point, so that you are losing information rather than simply adding noise

This is the anarchist theory of the unity of means and ends: you can't tell people anything, including what a better society looks like (nor can you impose it on anyone). You have to try to build and live that society in the present in order to even "get it" yourself.

You could probably write some JS to reimplement the better algorithm and insert the ­ hyphenation hints

When it comes to fermentation, you can get pretty far by developing a good intuition (through experience) of how to steward your little ecosystem and how it responds to your particular ingredients and environment. You can be an expert on that and produce great flavors without knowing the microbiology, like cheesemakers and brewers have done for thousands of years.

Granted, the hard science is helpful in getting to the next level and achieving a product that's consistent from batch to batch.
