Isn't that almost what they suggested except starting at a different size and doing a binary search basically? You're just starting the binary search after the first step of cutting into 5 lengths instead of 2.

Tbf, that is the title of the article.

Edit: and honestly, an attack would be a form of hacking. Gaining unauthorized access is not the be-all end-all of hacking. Granted, I would admit this is likely meant to garner clicks, but I would also argue it's technically true.

Cool it with your unnecessary pitchforks. You just failed at reading is all.

Whoa whoa whoa. Let's not limit our options prematurely.

This is an ignorant take. It can be correct in some cases, but oversimplifying and making assumptions like that is entirely devoid of rational thinking.

No, you can change parts of it, but you can't just arbitrarily say any part can simply be replaced willy nilly. That's just childish. Changes have impact and consequences. You're literally ignoring cause and effect. I can see nothing is worth discussing with you though if you're going to respond with something a child would say. So we're done here.

I mean, probably not, but it's otherwise useless, plus it makes an argument for cruel and unusual punishment. Any other desire from sentencing is simply perverted in my mind.

That's not the way any of this works. You can't just change a portion of the system. The US imports a ton of food. Banning something is actually a realistic ability. Ingredients have been banned before. Creati ng a system that is doomed to failure due to not thinking about it for 3 seconds is a different class of ability. We're talking about changing the laws of a country, not breaking the laws of math and physics. I'm pro-socialism but this is an awfully thought out take. It would cause worldwide economic collapse and less to starvation around the world due to such an event.

I mean, if we're talking about impossible things, changing the world economic structure is one of them.

You can't socialize food production without socializing the entire economy of the world. Many countries rely on food production as their number one source of income. So you can't just socialize one industry. Let alone getting the world to play along.

An incentive could be "offer healthy alternatives otherwise something bad will happen." It requires meddling with the system and ignoring the free market, but sounds like I don't think you'd disagree with disruption in the free market.

Partially. It'd help a little bit. But if you federate with another instance that doesn't block it, that data will still get out.

Essentially the protocol would have to be updated to carry a blacklist that all instances would adhere to, but basically via an honor system.

The only method that could truly protect your data would be whitelisting, but that would severely hamper and fracture the fediverse.

Not really, it's mostly empty space.

Eh, I dunno how I feel about simplyfing communism to be representative of all leftist beliefs. Moreover, it's still less cringe than spelling out how an acronym sounds. This isn't elementary school.

Except that means you defederate from everyone but whitelisted instances in that scenario. If I recall, it doesn't work as a blacklist, but as a whitelist.

Prison is meant to rehabilitate, not punish. If you're punishing, you're not helping society. If you just care about causing pain, what value add is that?

I think we just need a way to incentivize corporations to provide healthy alternatives as well (and not just HFCS, but high sugars in general, etc). Not sure of the best approach, but the bigger issue is that when every corporation is pushing cheap sellers that are addictive, its no wonder most people eat them. Like, McDonalds alone isn't responsible, but corporations in general because their basically saying they can't be held responsible for being successful. But they're putting so much money into being successful and trying to be successful, that it's difficult when you have such large entities pushing that way but then saying "it's not our fault people are going in the direction we push"

I'm just worried folks are putting too much faith in what defederation means.

Ok, but the number of people that think defederation is in anyway going to prevent this is fairly high.

One key thing to remember here is introvert/extrovert isn't about the level of shyness or anxiety though. You could be an extremely outgoing introvert or a shy extrovert. It truly is only about the relationship between your mental energy and social interaction. The comment above sounds more like social anxiety than introversion, though could be both.

I'll admit running is difficult at first because it requires your active thoughts to keep going. Depending on fitness level (mainly regarding weight, not musculature or cardiovascular), after a month or so of a 3xWk plan, you can start to get into a point where it starts getting more sexond nature and you get more of your mind to yourself and the distraction from running becomes more related to your ability to regularly distract yourself with just your thoughts and/or audio (music, books, podcasts, etc).

But yeah, the beginning is really hard. I used to run, got pretty good at it (would go on 8mi runs with a sub-9 minute pace on the weekend) but then stopped for like... 7 years. Just started again a month or two ago. I can only run for about 25 minutes at like a 12 minute pace. I'm also overweight and over 40 which isn't helping anything. But when I started (or restarted as it were) I couldn't run for 5 minutes straight. I do get shin splints, I was getting sore muscles all over, but slowly I'm getting better at it. At even just the 20ish minute mark though, I need something to distract me. Right now it's music, but I've been considering podcasts as I feel they generally get me more distracted.

Isn't 14 already a legal age to work (though admittedly some caveats)?

Edit: in the US at least.
