Re: the servers, if you had access to their hosting then I think you wouldn't need to block their payments, you would just take them offline. But I just took a look and it seems like they've been using the same static bitcoin addr

Also in practical terms how exactly would you censor "sci-hub" if you wanted to? They could generate a new address for each transaction and amounts could vary.

Like WSGI or RACK? What things make WAI easier than the equivalent abstraction in $other_languages? (Not going for a "gotcha" tone here, genuinely interested as a person who has tried and failed a few times to write "useful&q

This is a really silly question, but if you don't memorize openings how do you make sure you're avoiding the standard ones? Not a chess player.

I think as long as it's reproducible it's Ok... but should be a team decision. The data has to be non-sensitive of course, very often it's not ok to pull data out of prod. Fuzzers in general tend to work hard to make sure cra

It seems like the possibility that photos-of-undress are promoted by organic engagement is not discussed? (aka people seem to be clicking on this). Confession: this is the first thing that sprang to mind for me. Not that algorithms suck or

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh I wrote my reply assuming you meant DNS-over-TCP not DNS-over-TLS. Duh, sorry. Should have been obvious from context. Yeah DNS-over-TLS is safer in this regard and provides equivalent network-path protection. DoH is kind of

The server can Set-Cookie for sure if it wants to but the resolver is not supposed to accept it. From rfc8484: "HTTP cookies SHOULD NOT be accepted by DOH clients unless they are explicitly required by a use case." You'd have

Was just thinking about that. ESNI just protects the name of the site you're visiting. It's going to be most useful to reduce the amount of data available to bulk snoopers like ISPs or mass surveillance efforts. But there are lots

A lot of times the supplier matters as much (more than?) the gas. Ask around in your area. Avoid bottle rental at all costs if you can... buy your own or bottle swap are the best. Agree with sibling poster; just get argon for mild, stainles

Agree we're talking past each other a bit. Sorry. I agree with you that proliferation is bad, but I'd like to elaborate. Summarising as I see it: OP's point was that WMDs (of all kinds) are an equalizer between nations. Your

Well that's irony right? If Iraq had actually had credible WMDs they would never have been invaded. Not like these lessons have been lost on North Korea or Iran. There's the things the international community says about nukes on

It's just another packaging format, and if I had to choose just one then Docker is the least worst for me. Least worst is obviously subjective but for me it includes running a bunch of random stuff in roughly the same way across Linux,

Maybe the gig economy is just "too early". Like maybe the whole industry is actually a giant bet on income inequality getting worse :( That seems incredibly grim, and I hope most investors are just waiting to see if anyone can pul

Yes, and that NASA expected this from them , that is, they were expected to be a credible, reliable-but-expensive (and not particularly innovative) option.

Interesting to speculate on the engineering workarounds if all FPGAs disappeared tomorrow. I'm not sure there's a big long-term impact. Maybe more shift to more to DSP, make low volume ASICs on older nodes cheaper and cycle faster

If you are part of the undifferentiated labour pool, well, this might actually be happening to you. Immigration benefits the U.S overall but if you are hourly labour with no special skills then it is probably not helping your wages.

I'm sorry that I unfairly characterised your position. My perspective is that universal worker's rights (like the 40hr week, paid maternity leave, minimum yearly vacation weeks) help prevent the "trap of moloch" (context

You didn't address what parent said at all. Parent said all COVID-19 research should be freely available to all as a matter of principle. What China does or doesn't do has no bearing on this.

I feel like OS as a superapp is an underappreciated concept. Like the idea that fish don't see water. On one side we have WeChat, but on the other side we have IOS, Android, and the browser. And we're free... to install approved a

It feels like there's some kind of weird amnesia that a lot of people experience, where for part of their lives they forget they were ever children. They read about a child friendly policy and think about "other people". Some

I think separable land rights considerably predate modern capitalism. Things like water rights and "right to roam" are downright ancient, and it was pretty common that you could buy, lease or have customary rights to hunt, fish, t

Well modern land ownership in cities is not really that different from renting IMHO. It's surprisingly conditional and complicated. The land is still the sovereign property of whatever country you live in (with various increasingly l

In my experience the primary way knowledge workers get into trouble is over-reporting progress on a task, then half-assing it at the end or making excuses. This might be due to procrastination, personal issues, distraction, other job pressu
