I think it's pretty easy to see on the face of it that a direct access for anyone to potentially reach everyone is a massive change from a system where that gets filtered through media companies. We don't really have to decide how

I'm not sure there's a way to do that, there's no real way for a platform to definitively know if you're selling legitimate items or not and sellers are legitimately allowed to resell any legit items they have bought so

IMO this really misses the changes that the democratization of access to attention and media caused. Anyone being able to directly reach anyone is a massive change from the gate-kept pre-internet media landscape.

Yes, there's a lot of pressure to stay on his good side, even if the charges are bogus and eventually beaten or just ends in a pay-off like many cases the process is still damaging/costly and there's large incentives to pre-c

That's proved to be an idea only held up by the fig leaf of norms like the independence of the DOJ and the idea of the other two branches actually acting as a check on the others. Instead after the 70 year project we now have a complia

There's a hell of a lot of power vested in the executive branch especially in the DOJ to really mess with companies and the real protection against it's misuse was the agreement that the President didn't directly instruct and

Meshtastic uses 900 MHz in the US which has way longer range generally than both wifi and bluetooth at the cost of needing a dedicated radio.

Well Musk has said his goal is to use this edited biased version as part of the training data for Grok to "eliminate bias" in the training data because Grok keeps contradicting him. The problems isn't the page in isolation it

It's amusing everytime Grok gets taken back to the woodshed for another lobotomy and we get to see how much more insecure being terminally online has made Musk since the last time they butchered Grok.

Usually the answer is to just slightly overproduce the inputs, only the new planet Gleba even slightly discourages letting items just sit on the conveyors with their freshness mechanic. What's the benefit?

Power brownouts are pretty rare outside of the very early game. It's too easy and cheap to massively over produce power for that to really harm players outside the early game so I don't think there'd be much interest. Usually

They even have reproduceable builds so you can validate the source matches the distributed binaries. After that it's trusting in the OSS process to have caught any attempted backdoors which is more down to your individual evaluations.

I wish they had included it as part of the RealID system. It would have been pretty easy to make them smart cards that could use simple public private key tech to verify IDs. Private keys go into the cards and public keys get registered wit

I think some of the issues in the last outage actually affected multiple regions. IIRC internally some critical infrastructure for AWS depends on us-east-1 or at least it failed in a way that didn't allow failover.
