Do you have a source for that claim? I found this source suggesting otherwise; in New Zealand, where home distilling is legal and there wouldn’t be a reason to hide it, less than 0.14% of residential fires were caused by home distilling.
How do you regulate that?
Create safety standards for small commercially manufactured stills. Most people are lazy, so those will significantly outnumber more sketchy DIY stuff. We have safety standards for other dangerous items like propane tanks, and they reduce the risk to a level most people find acceptable.
in a completely safe manner
There is no such thing. There’s a level of risk society finds acceptable. If a still can be as safe as a propane grill, I’m happy.
A well-run community will either be explicit about its age/karma requirement, or it will manually approve filtered posts from low-reputation accounts. I moderate /r/flashlight and we use the latter approach.
That takes work though. Some moderators are lazy, and some communities are understaffed. That’s not good, but it most cases it’s not malicious. It has fairly little to do with Reddit the company making money from advertisers.
Sounds like a decentralized encrypted messaging platform is needed.
Decentralized probably isn’t desirable for this use case; self-hosted is. When designing something for that purpose based on a decentralized protocol like Matrix, it’s probably desirable to mandate that the most sensitive conversations take place using a server with decentralization disabled and a client restricted to using only that server.
A 30-06 will have such massive deformation
The article describes a fragment, which is beyond mere deformation. That’s unsurprising with a high-velocity rifle round and would typically be impossible to conclusively match to the weapon that fired it. It could be possible to exclude a particular weapon (wrong caliber, obviously different rifling, etc…).
Do you need a recommendation for an adblocker?
An app that could be a website and wants a huge intrusive set of permissions? So just like every corporate social media thing ever.
You’re not wrong, and an open option might be an improvement over the current situation. On the other hand, it might encourage broader use of remote attestation.
I’m mostly disappointed that there’s no meaningful organized opposition. When Microsoft first proposed adding remote attestation to Windows, the New York Times called it out as oppressive. Now it seems like only hardcore open source nerds care, and I think the tech community should be doing better.
I don’t like it. Remote attestation is a violation of the user’s right to control over their own devices. We should be pushing to eliminate it, not expand its use.
Anyone who was publishing to FDroid already is not going to be annoyed about the 24 hour scare screen for users.
Bullshit.
It’s hard enough to get people to step outside the Play Store ecosystem. Any additional friction will greatly reduce the number who do, and the combination of a reboot and a long waiting period is a lot of friction for the average person.
No. The risk of long-term disability remains substantial.
They’re only about 10-15% more powerful. The 777 has far larger and more powerful engines, but only two of them.
I’ve flown on it as well, and the quietness is really remarkable.
While all other passenger planes are smaller than the A380, it’s also far quieter than other very large passenger planes like the 747 and 777. Other modern designs making significant use of composites like the A350 and 787 are also not nearly so quiet.
He did it under his real name. His Github username is his real name, with middle initial. He also links from said Github to his .com, which is also his real name. There is no doxxing here, nor is saying I wish someone hadn’t done the thing they did harassment.
I won’t defend the tone of the article though. I find the photoshopped mugshot and name-calling distasteful.
I want him to do nothing.
He doesn’t work for a distribution or a system integrator. He isn’t the maintainer for systemd either. He’s a random contributor, and he works for a cloud company that doesn’t make or sell the sort of devices these laws apply to.
These age verification laws did not require Dylan Taylor to take any actions. He did that all on his own.
A lot of network, banking, and telephony protocols historically rely on trusting that there are no bad actors in the chain. Technology has added more links to the chain increasing the opportunities for bad actors to tap into it.
Their wish to break the first rule of network security (you can’t trust the client) shouldn’t be everyone else’s problem.
could dramatically cut the energy consumed by artificial intelligence hardware
Decreasing the cost of using a resource almost always results in more use of that resource.
Laboratory tests showed the devices could reliably endure tens of thousands of switching cycles
That’s not very many when GPUs perform trillions of operations per second.
I’ve tried it, and only ran into a couple apps that wouldn’t work with MicroG. I won’t pretend it’s painless, but it’s workable for someone with sufficient motivation.
/e/os is Android without Google proprietary stuff. It runs most Android apps.
Those are great crested grebes.
