@futurebird Apollo 7 could be seen as a precursor to that (no explicit strike, but refusal to do things ground control wanted done).

@lauren

The sense it seems to make is that it will work with an ~arbitrarily shitty Internet connection.

@panoptykon

Czy można gdzieś przeczytać dokładniejszą formę tych założeń? (Jestem ciekaw np. dokładniejszej definicji osoby, o której pozyskuje się dane -- ciekaw jestem np. kto byłby takową osobą w przypadku gdy służby szukały właścicieli telefonów obecnych w jakichś dwu miejscach, lub obecnych w jednym a nie w drugim.)

For pure amusement, I tried to find a way to work around lack of `$$` in fish (I concede defeat to non-Linux systems being sufficiently different) and found a weird one: `readlink /dev/fd/0 < /proc/self/exe`

@xarph @bloopmuseum

I am very surprised by retention of case files of any kind that's shorter than the time the accused are imprisoned for.

@b0rk @scubbo

Wouldn't `ls -l /proc/$$/exe` work always?

@kkarhan @PeterCxy

Sadly that's not universally true, because convenient height for devices to be operated by a standing person are inaccessible to people sitting. (I base this on ATMs, where the wheelchair accessible ones are inconvenient to use if you have nothing to sit on.)

@niconiconi Or 4 lines to write a function, 10 lines to explain its nonstandard calling convention (e.g. passing values via flags) which saves on code size.

@BartoszMilewski @dpiponi

I think this is similar to considering murder worse than an action that will on average increase the amount of early deaths by 1 (e.g. emitting some amount of dust).

My intuition in both situations is that the reason is that murder/genocide can be used for coercion in a great multitude of ways.

@PedroGonnet Or don't care?

@whitequark I wonder whether _this_ constitutes a crime.

@dunkelstern If there was a dm-throttle, it would also throttle everything the fs driver would be doing in its own name (and any kernel thread in general).

@dunkelstern Hm~ I thought that devicemapper had an interposer that does that, but now I can only find dm-delay which isn't helpful here.

@dunkelstern Can't you rate limit the block devices of disks instead?

@rq Ah, I'm being silly: there, a MAC is sufficient.

@rq Hm~ I would expect that short-input hash functions are useful for key derivation (not from low entropy something, but when you have key K and want to generate various keys from K that are "unrelated" to anyone who doesn't know K; there's a more specific name for it and a contract-and-expand construction that does that that has an rfc that i can't recall the name of right now).

@mjg59 if you can mount something above the water, ultrasonic distance meter will work (and this is actually a pretty common setup in reality)
