- Comment on How does reader mode work? 2 hours ago:
I believe this is due to ADA Title III requirements for publicly accessible businesses:
The ADA requires that businesses open to the public provide full and equal enjoyment of their goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, or accommodations to people with disabilities. Businesses open to the public must take steps to provide appropriate communication aids and services (often called “auxiliary aids and services”) where necessary to make sure they effectively communicate with individuals with disabilities.

Screen readers and braille displays can’t do anything with all the fancy JavaScript and other nonsense that frames and formats the content for delivery, including the user-identifying-and-blocking stuff. The website is legally required to make the content accessible in a way that assistive technologies can use, and usually the simplest way to do that is to just deliver plain text. I think “reader mode” is leveraging this functionality to get the content in a simple form without the cruft, basically just telling the website that the user needs the ADA compliant version.

Steak and chicken are more forgiving. There’s a wider range in which they can be fully cooked and still edible. Even if a bit dry, they can still be OK with a good sauce. Fish isn’t really like that, once it’s overcooked it’s just unpleasant to eat.
Pork chops I think are more difficult, they really have to be cooked far enough to be safe (pork can carry some pretty nasty parasites), but the range between that point and dry/tough is pretty small.

One trick is that ocean fish is safe to eat raw (assuming it has been kept refrigerated/frozen). If you have a cut of salmon or tuna, you can just sear it on the outside and serve it, no need to cook it all the way through (which will make it dry and tough). With saltwater fish, it’s better to err on the side of less cooking.
Shellfish are more tricky, they need to either be raised and handled very carefully to keep them clean, or else cooked correctly. Oysters can be served raw, but you want to really trust the source and the handling.

- Comment on If you want to get shit done, what are effective alternatives to voting in the American Federal election system? 5 days ago:
There is no “alternative” to voting. Your voice should be heard. In order for that to happen, you need to participate. Voting is how you do that. If you choose not to vote, then you are choosing not to contribute your voice to the direction of the society that you live in. How can you justify complaining about the direction it goes in, if you do not make the most basic effort to participate?
That said, there is more that you can do. The next most effective thing you can do beyond voting yourself is organize other people to vote. This can start with just your family, or your classroom, or your coworkers. Arrange rides to get people to polling places. Check in with people and encourage them to get out and vote. Volunteer with a local voter support group. Maybe even volunteer as a poll worker.
How do we know that voting works? Because Republicans work so hard to prevent people from doing it. Anyone spreading the idea that voting doesn’t work is complicit with the goals of voter suppression.

Assuming the black platform does not fit through the orange portal, and the moving panel with the orange portal stops on impact (which is what appears to be true because on the blue portal side we see the surface of the black panel), then the cube is no longer moving relative to the orange portal and therefore has no momentum. Once the cube is entirely on the blue side of the portal it will be affected by the gravity on that side and slide down as if on a ramp (A).
- Comment on How do I become more "woke"? Just to aggervate the right a little. 1 week ago:
Treat other people with respect and compassion, no matter how they present themselves. Not performatively, but because you genuinely care about the wellbeing of other people around you. Practice this until it becomes instinctive, until it feels wrong to behave any other way.
That also means not trying to provoke other people on purpose. The most aggravating thing you can do to the people you imagine is refuse to be provoked by them.
You don’t “win” by getting even, you win by living a good life in spite of the behavior of assholes.

So, I am a cishet guy with trans family and am absolutely a supporter of an individual’s right to self-determination, and I’ve thought through all of this and considered wearing such pins, but… I have a problem with the general concept of categorizing/pigeonholing people (including myself), I don’t like the idea that people should or should need to label themselves, and I’m very uncomfortable with virtue signaling (which frankly I think what you’re suggesting very much is) and with adopting the iconography of a community that I’m not necessarily a member of, which feels kind of like cultural appropriation.
Also, yeah, publicly supporting people who are targeted by discrimination is a great motivation, but the idea of wearing such a pin with the intent/hope of provoking a confrontation with another person is… very disturbing.
- Comment on With everything becoming convience orientated , how hard would it be to be a hacker nowadays versus back in the day? Like what to read, how to help people, and other semi free things? 1 week ago:
It is both harder and easier.
In the early days, many network protocols and information systems were developed without any thought given to security. The original email protocol stored and transmitted every message in plaintext. Devices were shipped with default credentials like admin/admin, some of them with no actual process for changing those credentials and no way to update the firmware, leaving them permanently vulnerable.
Later, people started realizing that some way to prevent unwanted access was necessary, but many of the new security features were just bolted on to existing products without much testing, and frequently there were ways to simply bypass the security without having to actually break it.
In the present most serious products have at least some thought given to security implementations during development. There are entire companies that specialize in security products, software, hardware and middleware. There are professionals whose entire careers have been spent thinking about these problems, and government agencies and laws focused on them. There is more investment and more scrutiny on information security that there ever has been at any point in human history.
At the same time, the amount of things plugged into the global information network has exploded. There is orders of magnitude more information storage connected now than there was in the 90s, and higher consequences for unauthorized access (things like public water and electricity systems are connected now).
In the 60s the number of people who had a grasp of computer networking could be counted on your fingers, for the entire planet. In the 80s, that community was still small enough that everybody knew each other. In the present the community and the networks are so large and complex that no one has any idea what is going on. There is a lot of confusion that didn’t exist in the past, and that creates gaps in systems because products get connected to each other in ways that they were never designed for, so even if two things have their own well-implemented security features, the point where they share information with each other often doesn’t.
In short, security is a lot tighter now than it used to be. People are paying attention, taking it seriously. On the other hand, there is a lot more opportunity for security vulnerabilities to be found in systems, and everything is too complicated for anybody to really understand all of it.

At some point running scripts other people wrote was looked down upon.
Now people pay corporations for chatbots to regurgitate scripts other people wrote.

- Comment on Remember, Kids: 1 week ago:
Oh, I disagree.
You regret the inactions that you think about, because you think about them, specifically as instances where you failed to act and that led to unfortunate consequences.
Disregarding the good outcomes of inaction is very relevant, because when you are mired in that regret it is the inaction that you are thinking of as being the failure, rather than the circumstances surrounding that situation. This leads you to the mistaken conclusion that inaction itself is the problem.
As it’s been said, “It is possible to commit no mistakes, and still lose. That is not a weakness, that is life.”
- Comment on Remember, Kids: 1 week ago:
Selection bias. You don’t spend any time thinking about the occasions when inaction was the right choice, because they seem unremarkable from everyday events.

It’s usually behind the glovebox. In most vehicles that have cabin air filters, you can open the glovebox and then squeeze the sides of it to allow it to drop down further, and you should see the blower fan for the climate control system right there. Not all vehicles have a filter, but if yours does you can typically access it here.

I wouldn’t pay someone else to replace it, they’re cheap and its easy to do yourself in about 5 minutes.

- Comment on Once lunar colonies are established, would they attempt to break away? What would independent lunar republics look like? 2 weeks ago:
Long-term habitation of the moon is going to be extremely difficult if not impossible. The ground itself is hostile to human technology and life:
As the Moon’s fine surface layer, lunar regolith is picked up by even weak natural phenomena active at the Moon’s surface, allowing it to be part of the Moon’s scant atmosphere. It is easily disturbed and poses a significant hazard to exposed equipment and human health. The fine lunar regolith is made of sharp and very adhesive particles, with a distinct gunpowder taste and smell.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_regolith
Basically there are no erosion processes on the moon. On Earth, rock gets worn down over time by wind and water, which tumbles all the small particles and rounds off the sharp esges. On the moon, rocks get pulverized by meteorite impacts, and then the dust settles back down and sits there because there’s not enough atmosphere for wind. Instead of soft rounded sand, you have very fine fragmented rock with sharp edges.
Even worse, it’s electrically charged so it tends to stick to surfaces and the astronauts found that it was very difficult to remove.
So, imagine all of the difficulties of maintaining mechanical equipment in the desert, with worse dust that will degrade equipment even faster than it does on Earth, plus you have to maintain all your exterior equipment while wearing a space suit which is at the same time collecting and being degraded by the lunar dust. The fine grit will get inside of every mechanical joint, every seal gap, and wear them down very quickly. It’s like chalk dust made of knives, with static cling.
It will be functionally impossible to keep it out of any long-term habitat completely. Breathing the fine particulates will probably result in silicosis-like symptoms, and:
Anecdotal reports of human exposures to lunar dust during the Apollo program suggest that lunar dust has toxic properties. After each EVA, the crew modules were heavily contaminated with dust; many astronauts reported coughs, throat irritation, watery eyes, and blurred vision that likely reduced their performance. A flight surgeon exposed to the capsule interiors after recovery developed what appeared to be allergic reactions to lunar dust that worsened after each exposure.
Machines and people will both break down in this environment. Keeping a presence there would require a constant stream of replacement parts, maintenance supplies, and personnel rotation.
Techniques for addressing the problems this will cause are all theoretical proposals. Personally, I think we’ll need another two or three generations of materials science before we can actually handle this problem.

In Darknet Diaries Ep 27: Chartbreakers, Jack Rhysider describes how cheap and easy it is to buy your way to the top of the Apple Podcasts rating chart or onto the New York Times bestseller list.
After listening to this, it’s pretty easy to extend the logic to every other rating platform. Paying for review manipulation is basically part of the marketing budget.
