Is the blocking on DNS, port, pattern matching URLs? If DNS perhaps using an encrypted DNS could work.

Get a time machine

Apparently it’s no longer mitigation, now adaptation. The desire to avoid nihilism at point is tough. I’m pushing 40 and I hope I get 25 more years, family kids are in for it.:(

I’m not flying anymore. Between the GHG annual personal emissions and the stunning staggering massively deadly failures of rushed Boeing product launches. Finally I will note the whole damn process is dehumanizing and terrible.

Ok - everyone should feel free to publish as they prefer. On the other hand lashing out at critics is unproductive.

If you use Safari try 'Reader View'. It is so nice cutting out the clutter and making the formatting suitable for easier reading.

There is an emerging argument that vaping is less health damaging than smoking and it likely is, however, Nicotine addiction is key to the business model and that will not change.

How does this pass the straight face test. The proposition is insane, I hope I wake up and this is all a fever dream.

Yes! I’ve never used FB, and refuse to, as a result I miss all sorts of notification of things occurring because everyone seems to assume everyone does use it. Drives me nuts!
kjar | 6 years ago | on: You don’t have to be “pro-nuclear” or “anti-nuclear.”
Sorry folks give up the ghost nuclear was dead at least 3 decades ago. Solar and wind are the future. We don’t have a decade to build a new nuclear plant, in that plan we’d need a time machine going backa decade to abate climate change that’s now locked in. I’ll spare you all the risks and externalities, it’s just dumb. Again sorry.

I’d wager yes firmly, a privacy invasive technology does not just fall from the sky. Salespeople are pimping it hard, and the world incrementally becomes more like a dystopian hellscape
kjar | 6 years ago | on: On-Device, Real-Time Hand Tracking with MediaPipe
if they do it all on device and do not transmit out, then the privacy concern seems squelched. On retail tracking yeah it's messed, practically no one knows their movements are tracked on their phones - cell tower triangulation, GPS, then the kicker NFC. I love / hate tech. It's powerful stuff. [edit] - the cell tower triangulation is forever given the nature of the tech.

the flawed product was rushed to market to "beat" Airbus there, but hey it's only ~350 people killed, and weeks of delay to ground the fleet. Sorry Boeing, you messed up hard. Personally I don't care to fly, but I sure as F am not getting on your planes. Fish rot from the head down, and I see that in this tragic case.

Hehe insane, you get better performance in a virtualized environment! I understand why that could be but virtualization overhead exceeding native performance is bonkers.

Check out ‘World Without Us’ by John Wiesman. A fascinating thought experiment wherein we all suddenly ‘beam up’ and Earth left to go on evolving.

The company knew the physical ramifications from at least the 1970s, suppressed that knowledge, and now we are locked into decades their product manifested for many decades. Extractive industry - oil, coal, methane needs to have ended decades ago. We are climatically locked in for insane destabilization

kjar | 6 years ago | on: The Roots of Boeing’s 737 Max Crisis: A Regulator Relaxes Its Oversight
If I interpreted this argument correctly - regulation is bad, costs money. How much is a human life worth? Clear to me is that Boeing did that sick math and rolled the dice and F’d up royally and fatally.
FAA was gamed, but If you think Boeing would self regulate, I think you are on a different timeline where stockholder dividends are not the prime directive.
kjar | 6 years ago | on: Latest 737 Max Fault That Alarmed Test Pilots Rooted in Software
It appears the 737 Max is a total failure. Pushed through by Boing to outpace Airbus, from physical design, attitude sensors, re-certification bypass imperative, and flight control software, finally killing nearly 600 people before being ground. In short I’m never flying in one!
kjar | 6 years ago | on: Climate change: 12 years to save the planet? Make that 18 months
Drive less, and use public transit more, a relatively modest proposal. Vote out the blatantly vote pandering politicians pushing fossil fuels. Endorse those pushing solar and wind, plant billions of trees. These are a few of my favorite things. We are already F’d from pre-existing emissions - don’t go YOLO!
