We should just get rid of user-agent. Why are we sending unneeded data that can identify us? User agents have some value for this or that narrow purpose? Ok. Then in those cases a user agent should be used. The majority of requests, which are from browsers, should just have a blank user agent, meaning, serve things normally.

The problem is that clearing it makes you stand out. We should all clear it together in protest. We should all say together, "My browser sends to the server the information needed to receive the a reply back. That's it."

In fact it would be cool if cookies weren't applied to all AJAX requests. The AJAX config object should enable them for requests that need them.

We should really get rid of passwords. Signing a phrase is not hard to do, and is way more secure.

The Nazi's learned a lot from the "Lying press" that came before them. The adopted some of the same techniques as one often does in war. The question is with this current lying press and media, who did they really learn it from.

69.87% market share of something is not a monopoly.

The case for Facebook being a monopoly is pretty narrow. For google and search it's way more arguable.

Instead of breaking up monopolies, which isn't always clear how to do it, require a monopoly to actively advertise a competitor until the monopoly condition is resolved. A better way of measuring a monopoly in an objective way is to take the shannon entropy of the market shares. A shannon entropy of less than 1 is a monopoly, though the threshold could be played with depending on how distributed you want your market to be.

Breaking up the telcoms did nothing. It just created monopolies in smaller geographies. Something is a monopoly/duopoly based on the probability distribution that a consumer will use each of the available services given a geography or some other criteria.

Another thought on the amount of time he has served. It is possible that he has gotten charges in prison. One has to do what they have to do to survive, and sometimes that leads to charges. Ironically the nicer a guy you are the more likely you are to be put in a position where you end up getting additional time. He could have been a really nice kid, and because of others treatment of him, ended up getting more time.

The downside of private prisons is they seem to have a backwards response to liability. The whole prison is engineered so the guards don't know anything, and thus aren't liable for what happens. For drug trafficking that's good, so most inmates like it, because they get drugs. If however you are the kind of person that gets bullied, there is literally nothing that can be done. The government, and the people running the prison, then aren't liable for the crap they don't know about.

For example, in some prisons its literally impossible to file a complaint (presumable against another inmate) without it being observed by everyone exactly what you are doing, at the time you are doing it.

It's also one of the reason they give you assigned cell mates. It keeps you from becoming a snitch. The cops and private guards want snitches for things like drugs (things that can get them a promotion), but don't want snitches for anything like violence or rape because then they have to respond to the situation or face liability. The private prisons are engineered in excruciating detail to reduce liability, not by reducing violence, but by reducing knowledge of it.

I'm a weirdo who believes that the government putting you in a situation engineered to be violent as a form of punishment is a violation of the 8th amendment.

What kind of issue were you having because it works for me. Is it lag?

I am trying to assess if lag is an issue for people because I happen to have a really good connection, so it's not indicative of everywhere.

This also means that gvid will be supporting iframes soon.

You can add an iframed item into gvid at https://gvid.tv/upload/iframe

The snake game was made a while ago. It's running at https://game.gvid.tv/msnake

It does hate wifi a little bit because it's multiplayer model is based on the game running on the server rather than client, arrow keystrokes go direct to the server, and then render diffs are sent to the clients. It's the same way cloud based gaming works, but because the client has no concept of the game itself, input latency is an issue. Basically cloud gaming doesn't work over wifi... well.

I should have a racing game I made up in a bit.

Make sure to press an arrow key to start.

What if you could never do more time than your age at the time of the offense.

If you get out and re-offend, seeing as more of your life was in prison than not, that likely has more to do with your time in prison than your time before it.

They help you drug up before the ride so you don't notice the dead babies.

IDK, I feel like there are more scammers everywhere these days, and they are way more inventive (in peculiar ways) maybe India is worse than it was when you went.

Lightning network. It needs work, but is a completely functional concept. The most popular branch is just developed by one individual and so the software doesn't do small little things like give you your private keys when asked for (like all other bitcoin wallets).

If more developers moved into the scene small little usability details would be worked out. I pay for my servers with lightning network. You don't have to pay fees to use bitcoin. The fees directly relate to the environmental impact because that is the dollar figure put on winning the contest over those fees. When you pay $2.00 in fees you are basically paying someone to burn $2.00 in gasoline for you. That sounds bad until you realize you could just not pay fees, and use the most popular crypto currency, if people just used lighting.

In terms of setting up accepting lighting on some internet service, it's easier than bitcoin to work with directly because of the invoicing system (part of lighting). You don't have to manage a large number of addresses, associate them with accounts, and the observe all of those addresses on a blockchain, which requires a full node, even when an account has had no activity for years, and then guess when a payment comes in, it was for that one payment or another. That's far from impossible but compared to lightning where you: make an invoice per payment and get notified when it happens in an evented way, done.

In terms of using another payment processing service, coinpayments supports lighting. That's who my host uses. Somehow not even bitpay has integrated it even though it's pretty simple.

Once they do, bitcoin has every reason to stay on top for payments.. because everyone owns it and thus merchants will gladly take it directly via lightning or through a payment processor (like bitpay or coinpayments). Honestly, these needed improvements to lighting's interface could be knocked out in a month by a single developer if anyone had the determination to do it.

You get rid of the fees, you get rid of the environmental cost (or 99% of it). Lighting network does that.

There are plenty of reasonable ways to be anti-israel. Post-logic Ilhan Omar doesn't help, and provides the corporal strawman needed to make people who attack Israel look like idiots.

The question is in the means, collateral deaths and injuries, and the issues that motivate Hamas to launch rockets in the first place.

This is why we need democratic borders based on residency and the ability for peoples to form sovereignty. Palestine should be able to form itself into a country just the same as Israel has, if not even more legitimately. When you argue this pro-Israel argue that Palestinians aren't really a people. If they have shared a common experience for even 5 years they are a people.

I've seen them do this with others, as if having a history even a year less long then themselves is a valid argument for denying human rights of all other peoples. Lauren Spector has argued this in tweets relating to Europe, that because Europe has a shorter history than Jews, that's an argument for the concept of Europeans to be abolished and for that ethnic group to be extinguished (identified in the Geneva conventions as a human rights violation).

"You don't have a history (untrue) so (non-sequitur) you don't deserve any rights." That is a repeated Jewish argument I've heard multiple times. They are as post-logic as Ilhan Omar.

What they haven't realized is that their being "terrorized" isn't a product of who is president. It's a response to their own behavior. Trump wasn't responsible for any of it. And to be fair, neither is Joe Biden.

BLM and other leftwing ideologs are the cause of increased racism.

What I don't get are all the people who have had it but are still getting the vaccine. Way to double your risk. Even if you were pro-covid-vax. You are then preventing another person from getting it who is susceptible. There is no situation where it makes sense, and no frame of mind where it should either. Except maybe peer pressure.

I do this. Homebrewed. It's weird that relatively few password managers do this. It's really easy. The only difficult and subjective part is converting a bitstream into a broadly useful password.

My one problem is that a few sites refuse to take passwords over 100 characters long. Silly.
