Ive been there. Years ago. Back in '07 got laid off. Company shut down. Lots of us tried to scramble to get jobs, and all the quick low paying jobs filled up. I got into unemployment and started collecting the $207/week. And this,

The trend Ive been seeing is "AP with eventual C". It comoes down to the idea that we have a planet, with datacenters in locations on said planet. Light down fiber or copper only goes so fast. The "eventual consistency"

I fail to see the off-topicness of this. This is only 1 step removed from "We prefer only $religion here." Or another way to look at it, is "We dont like $your_religion." They aren't out-right saying that, but the d

I know full well how to act in an office. If I talk about personal things, I keep it to networking, technology, and the like. I don't talk about: politics, religion. Some would argue that politics is of utmost importance - I would agre

Until we can find where and how consciousness is , and how to define it in the words of science, there will always be more to explore and discover. That's because there will always be pieces of a living system that will elude us, unti

Oh please. Just because it happened a few hundred years ago, doesnt mean they lost their own heritage, their language, and their self-determination. Look no further than Ireland. That battle goes back to Grace O'Malley and Elizabeth in

Sure. But they had better come up with a currency, nation/state political system in which others can adhere to, tax system, military, and all other things that nation-states do. I dont think a "town", regardless of their rich

Yeah, STONITH bites us on our ass every so often. Primarily, because of split-brain and no good way to ameliorate that without throwing out data. Its better to have an odd quorum, to break tie-breakers.

Easy to say that interrupts are bad.. But when you need to know of a pin change, rising or falling IRQ, interrupts are the only game here. And not only that, but if we were to do the timeslice strategy, then we need that slice to be at leas

Indeed. But I would set the blame at manufacturers at this view. The last time I got a circuit schematic was with my Icom radio. And even with that, still received none of the firmware. "Proprietary". Ideally, mechanical drawings,

Well, yes and no. We've finally cracked the nut with renewable resources. Its cost a great deal of environmental damage, but I see no good progression to go from hunter-gatherer to high tech. That's just entropy laws. Now, it coul

It's not just cypherpunks and hardware hackers. We in the occult communities also very much believe in the same ideals. In fact, this saying is what this discussion reminded me of: Nidhogg's Rule: Recycling. There is no such place

Eastdakota is Cloudflare's CEO, btw. Admittedly the stance for/against Tor discrimination is a wide one.... That's an issue with users, not content. But the only case where I believed he nuked a site was against Daily Stormer

Hmm.. Then a slightly different question: Do you handle OBS4 transits differently then? I have a few places that I go that actively block Tor - OBS4 and Scramblesuit both traverse these blocks. Because of that, I primarily run those transit

Indeed. If I recall correctly, it was when there was a 200+ comment thread with the top comment being about abusing Tor users WRT Cloudflare. I believe the CEO showed up, and then later ran an internal test on engineers forcing all of them

So is nylon. But nylon is hydroscopic, and thus not well suited for electronics applications. I do prefer ABS-PC or ASA for a lot of my more-adverse condition cases. They're much more heat resilient, and chemical/UV resistant in A

Indeed he is. Even more so, go download Tor Browser Bundle and read what the Daily Stormer has to say. Aside the obvious racism, it seems to match what and how Trump talks. Its one of their ways of conducting rallies as well, to cloak thems

You're indeed right. I could. But this stuff is everywhere, whether you want to read it or be part of it, or not. 1. Donglegate. Told a dongle joke, got fired. 2. Meritocracy Rug, Github. 3. "CodeOfConduct.md" 4. GamerGate 5.

Thank you. Given my proclivities in the occult, I do indeed have to watch out for real life cults. Now, I know this document is primarily for esoteric religion, it also very much applies to cults in other senses. But there's a few that
