Jeffrey S. Sovern, 41, of Suffolk, Virginia, didn’t hide what he did. He set up a GoFundMe for his legal defense. He linked to deflock.org, an anti-surveillance activist site. He wrote a statement: “I appreciate everyone’s right to privacy, enshrined in the fourth amendment.” And: “I appreciate a quiet life and am not looking forward to this process, but I will take the silver lining that this can be a catalyst in a bigger movement to roll-back intrusive surveillance.”

This is what patriotism really looks like.

As wild as this is, its very true… idk about till November as I think their playbook repeats too often. Regardless, I have friends that run mobile studio vans for on-air guests whose major client is fox news… they get schedules two weeks in advance of guests. Locations… scheduling, production, logistics all takes time and planning obviously… the studios and powers at be absolutely have already thought in advance what stories they’ll be pushing! Not to say random last minute events don’t happen constantly throwing a wrench in things… but regardless the over arching narratives and news cycle are already mostly planned out.

Not if you organize it as a non-profit with stated purpose that explicitly address exactly that… and is run as a public service for the public good.

Normally amps only go up to ten… but this one goes to eleven. …it’s one louder ain’t it!?!

WTF!?

When I was a kid we had a bonsai book… I used to look through it for hours…

Cut to the future and I not only can find that book again [1] but the author has a beautiful and hilarious youtube channel [2] Worth the watch if only for the lulz

Just read the article and didn't see anything about building an actual laser… what details the article has (and its scant) its seems they took a fluorescing layer and sandwiched with a color wheel and added the additional wiring and control circuitry… (Obviously more nuanced and interesting physics but still…) cool and practical, but not a diode and definitely not a laser… I could be wrong and would love to be!

… now, if that setup could be drawn out into a fiber laser as cladding with a wide spectrum neural amplifying core (if such a material exists) that could maybe be something idk

Lol!

Because there hasn’t been enough time and the ecological niche is non existent… ?

However… upon further inspection, one could argue that the micro biome is full of beneficial micro organisms that have evolved to fill this niche…

[1] Staphylococcus epidermidis

This is one of the most abundant and beneficial bacteria on human skin. It produces antimicrobial peptides and metabolites that inhibit the growth of pathogenic bacteria.

[2] Cutibacterium acnes

Despite its association with acne, this bacterium actually plays an important role in skin health by producing propionic acid, which helps maintain skin pH and prevents overgrowth of harmful organisms.

[3] Corynebacterium species

Various corynebacteria colonize the skin and produce lipases and other enzymes that help break down sebum (skin oils) and maintain healthy skin conditions.

[4] Malassezia species

These yeasts are abundant on skin and help regulate the skin microbiome, though they can sometimes cause issues in excess.

I agree!

With most disciplines theres usually a historical reference, homage, or literal-ness to the naming conventions… that can be searched for that will tend to help in illumination.

With software it kind of sort of started out that way… and has seemly devolved into this semblance of appropriating every word ever for who-the-fuck-knows-what… gotta say it’s better than pharmaceutical’s naming conventions. I mean at least software tends to use actual words!

This is literally the difficulties with learning any discipline!

A simple statement of acknowledgement.

Soooo money is worthless now? … because tech?

“Military grade encryption”…???

What does this even mean? I’ve scoured the website, their wiki, their faq, the past hn convo… too no avail!

A substitution cypher was considered “military grade” for millennia

Just workshopping some sv vc tech speak…

Disrupt being a traitor…

The uber of spying…

^ This is amazing!

Thanks for the share!

My initial take from reading the headline was: no shit this is what mdma is for…

Tangentially, The etymology nerd in me has been taunted by the current article thats been on the front page for the as of now last 19 hours[1] which conveniently has the origin of the term linked to in the first sentence! [2]… which @suprisetalk also links to in the article description!…

So now I’m wondering why mdma has got the street name molly… and if they're not perhaps related?

As in molly (aka mdma) has got the name as its used as a guard against these ailments specifically…

If that ain’t the secret to solving an np complete problem I don’t know what is!

As long as nobody knows then it isn’t risk… /s

Just sharing observations it may help, it may not…

what I’m seeing is new or sleeper accounts that have been idle for over a decade with low (<99) karma getting into comment circles. Over the last couple of weeks i’ll see several top comments on articles with back and forth between other similar accounts… it’s got to the point that I check a user habitually before I even bother reading… and I have never hidden so many comments before getting to something substantive in the comments…

Like many here, I don’t wish to limit new users, but this does seem from my armchair perspective to be a pattern to be on the look out for.

Disheartening to say the least. A cache like that would sure to a have single volume that would more than pay for the price to pay to have them moved and stored for a year… the idea that there are countless volumes of that caliber most likely in a collection like that means whomever is responsible is literally throwing money away… based on what you’ve described I could easily see a collection like that fetching at least a hundred thousand dollars, maybe substantially more.

Well it does scale… just not in the way that is good for democracy.

Taken another way given apple’s enormous market reach, this could be seen as perhaps the most solid metric of actual consumer interest in ai and features ignoring hype.

I’ve always heard it called “business as usual”

In the interest of lists, quality and simplicity… I suggest anything from Fermat’s Library [1] mailing list… already curated.

Really ambitious and really cool, congrats on finishing and sharing!

Getting into the weeds, how are you doing individual voices, ie an an analog synth needs a separate signal path for each note of polyphony with inadvertent and unavoidable interference… which ironically is desirable.

Reading this back and forth so far I think you’re spot on… which leads to this open question, wheres the consolidated stack that makes this accessible?

Also I think the name vetted webrings or just the vetted web is simple enough to be a movement.

As in the vetted web movement.

… gotta start somewhere.

Ah the dehumanizing nature of affluence… a right of passage for those fortunate enough to experience.

The challenge is in how to manage and and maintain the interest, less one falls back into the realm of obscurity or worse be tarnished reputationally so as to never recover.

Theres a great documentary on Goff if anyone is interested.
