How absolutely fascinating! For me it is instantaneous. I pick up a book, and from the very first sentence I'm in the book's world. Sometimes I get jinxed by thinking about 'these are just letters'. That's almost li

The cost is a political problem. It's easier for the opponents of nuclear to find support for stricter and stricter safety laws for new reactors. Driving up the cost, making them economically nonviable. Meanwhile the older and far more

Surprisingly enough, dark market sellers have excellent customer service. Since the market is completely transparent for a seller. On a number of dark markets both a seller and a buyer have a reputation that is tracked by the market. If a s

I have never heard of this, do you have references to this? If this is true, and even if you (or someone) made it up but it is a practical possibility, then it has truly horrific consequences for social organization and the peaceful transit

I see how this could have happened yes. Especially if the reporter was not clear on the angle of the questions. It's easy to see how security researchers could go off on a tangent about the insecurities of IMPI and other out of band m

How do you mean no proof? There's numerous reports by impartial agencies documenting the use of chemical weapons since early 2014. There is no failure to provide evidence, only the usual conflicts.

I think browsers show how to migrate away from insecure defaults successfully. The client software should start showing big obvious warnings. Later stages should add little inconveniences such as pop-ups and user acknowledgement prompts, eg

That's a weird thing to say about oneself. Do you really consider yourself to be "less ethical" or have you internalized "mainstream" ethics as "good", and found that that's not what _you_ think is et

And it's the same with beginnings and endings. It seems to us humans that everything begins and ends. But there's not a single reason why that is true on universal scales.

Could it be some sort of feedback as a result of servers sending more than 1 udp packet to compensate for possible packet loss? Maybe there's a loop somewhere with severs ignoring or changing the request id, a sort of broadcast storm.

I think I've never completely understood the Chinese room argument, to me it seems like that whole chain of examples and counter examples are the product of people playing word games and discussing definitions. If your 'room'

I buy all my vpses via Tor, it takes some effort. But after a while I always manage to find a provider where I can complete the process. So, not all the providers all the time. Just some of them some of the time.

I think this is a pretty insightful an accurate point. I'd like to add the following: 'Secret' software is very hard to keep secret: once your enemy has a semi-intact drone/AI then they'll have upgraded their own fl

Without insinuating anything about your post, your opinions or your beliefs, I have the following hopefully partially objective points to note about your post for fellow readers of hackernews. You raise suspicions that the OPCW and JIT are

Mostly, I think a 'terrorist' can be a rational person. If you know for a fact that the USA killed one or multiple people from your family; when you live in fear of clear skies as a male of military age, and as insult to injury (i

I've lost much muscle memory and skill with newer systems. When I was younger I had time for deep dives into configs/manuals/googles/mailthreads. These days my job assumes I know all the stuff and ins and outs, not havin

I remember students in my class barely passing comprehensive reading tests. I find it hard to believe that they've improved without the pressure that school/university puts on them.

I think the west can learn a great number of things from Japan. For example their streets (in Tokyo) are the cleanest of any major city I've ever visited. It is a huge sign and deserving of respect that a society can make sure their st

Research is not yet clear, but not every calorie is the same! The combination of nutrients in food can have a large effect on the efficiency of nutrient extraction in your stomach and gut. For example, when you consume alchol and a meal aft

I see a number of people in this thread include biodiesel and wood burning with other renewable energy sources. While in theory biodiesel and wood burning are carbon neutral, the way they are used in Europe is anything but! I wanted to warn

Big companies are morality load balancers. Technically a CEO is morally responsible for what their company does, but this does not truly feel right either. The example scenario goes like this: The shareholders decide that more money must be

No, humans cannot operate in the way the product is advertised. It does not work and it invites the human to become complacent and not pay attention. It's a way to weasel and doublespeak your way around shortcomings in the product. A h

I think the problem is that we're turning the 'learner' around in these situations. It used to be that computer interfaces were static, any shortcuts/quirks it had were learned by the human who then used to their advanta

There they go again, the big nanny corporations. They are part of the social fabric of our society. The same rules of freedom of speech should apply there. Saying that they have a right to censor their platform is OK, if this was the case f
