Does it magically stop being blogspam if we know who that is supposed to be?


Yes, A blog post from someone authoritative about the content certainly warrants higher consideration before being dismissed as blogspam by a random passing comment by someone who isn't, imho.


> but billion dollar company Google will happily recommend it as the most relevant result above a legitimate website?

Because the site most likely is laden with Google Ads, it's in their interest to show you that garbage and not what you're actually looking for.


“Man – despite his artistic pretensions, his sophistication, and his many accomplishments – owes his existence to a six inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.” — Paul Harvey


Man, I read that as 'People of Color' before 'Proof of Concept' and was very confused.


that's horrible- people just go around calling other people 'POCs'? how dehumanizing!


Oh, my gods, I was so confused until I read your comment. I thought "people of color" as well, and looked through the entire readme trying to understand the relevance. This might be one of those times where writing out the full phrase is worthwhile


Start with self-examination.

Why are you so bothered about Putin invading Ukraine?

Where was the outrage, protesting and flag-waving when Israel is invading Palestine and shooting little kids daily? And America is bombing Yemen, Somalia, Iraq and Afghanistan etc on a daily basis?

Don't get me wrong, it's all bad. But the general persons apathy and ignorance and ability to be manipulated by the media is just as bad as any actions Putin is taking.


@dvtm if you're just going to hang your clothes up to dry, then what's the point of having a dryer in the first place?


Hanging clothes on a rack inside is easy, but hanging sheets inside is not. I use my dryer for sheets when weather or time of day makes the outside line not a solution. I also use the dryer occasionally if I need some particular clothes in a hurry.

I never put things through the dryer and then hang them though; my dryer works, and I don't even use the highest setting.


In some locations, it’s illegal to dry your clothes on an outside line.


This is not true. In fact, in the context of this discussion, the opposite is true, that is to say, there are many HOAs (i.e. corporations) that prohibit hanging clothes outside, but there are actually several state laws which ban such prohibitions, so this is actually a case where regulations are protecting people's freedoms, not restricting them, like your comment implies.


The county next to where I live has banned vinyl siding for the entire county. It's not an HOA rule, it's a countywide government rule. Wouldn't be surprised to find out there are counties or towns that have their own clothesline ban.


Maine, Arizona and Vermont all prohibit hanging clothes outside to dry.

19 states prohibit prohibitions by municipalities, but most states leave it up to the municipality to decide.


> Maine, Arizona and Vermont all prohibit hanging clothes outside to dry.

Are you sure you don't have that backwards? From what I can find these are "right to dry" states which have banned clothesline bans (eg your HOA can try to ban it, and the state overrides it)


You have this half-backwards: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin - these states all have "right to dry" laws.

> Now, amidst growing concern about wasteful energy use, clothesline proponents argue that the traditional method of drying laundry is not only cheaper but better for the environment. Lawmakers in some 19 states have agreed, enacting “right to dry” laws that prohibit clothesline bans,

> The exact nature of “right to dry” laws varies from state to state—while some prohibit clothesline bans directly, others recognize a right to use solar power that implicitly may preclude those in authority from preventing a homeowner from drying laundry in the sun.

Not all people who own driers live in the US.


Which is absolutely infuriating from both a climate and a freedom point of view.


This seems remarkably unintuitive, but the math checks out.

(26+10)⁶ = 2,176,782,336

1,450 minutes a day

2,176,782,336 / (1,450 * 60) = ~25,000 years


You went from min per day multiplied by constant per min and ended up with years somehow.


My reasoning:

Number of 6-character alphanumeric passwords: (2*26+10)**6 == 56800235584

Number of seconds in a year: 60*60*24*365 == 31536000

Number of years to enumerate all 6-character alphanumeric passwords at one password a second:

  >>> ((2*26+10)**6)/(60*60*24*365)
  1801.1236549974633
(this assumes that alphanumeric is [a-zA-Z0-9], which some might disagree with)


Bitchute doesn't use P2P, but it's a HUGE part of their marketing. Their target demographic is technically illiterate so don't know any different, which really actually is a huge problem in general.

How many people fall for the latest buzzwords (like 'web3') without having the first clue what it is? Even investors aren't immune.


It just shows you're growing in your skills, I think there's very few people can look back at code they wrote even last week and not see where it could be improved.

I'd keep it as a record of your progress and just mark it as a toy project/not ready for production etc.


Seems slightly suicidal. And $1M doesn't seem all that much for the potential risk to yourself and your family.


Wait until other contributors join the game and add more targets.


why not just award all possessions Putin has as the bounty.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putin%27s_Palace

just pass a law, whoever overthrows a dictator has the right to own (or share) the dictator's belongings.


It makes me shake my head to see people think of the world as black and white. Rarely does the overthrower act better than the despot. If he is American-supported, we will just stop hearing bad things about him. I've seen the pattern play out way too many times.

Not Putin supporter ofc.


my suggestion doesn't indicate the overthrower will have the right to become the new dictator.

the new government has to be formed follow a democratic procedure.

the goal is never replacing an old dictator with a new dictator.

my suggestion is about putting the criminal to court cost effectively.


> my suggestion doesn't indicate the overthrower will have the right to become the new dictator.

Rights have little to do with what happens in practice.


> the new government has to be formed follow a democratic procedure.

What nations should be the model for such transitions?


> Rarely does the overthrower act better than the despot.

Have you got examples of this? In Russian history it always was better.


Pinochet, for one. US-backed coup d'etat overthrowing a democratically-elected government. For more you can read the Wikipedia article United States involvement in regime change

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_r...


Lets start with deaths of their own...

Lenin - 200k executions, 5 million deaths due to famines

Stalin - 800k executions, 1.7 million deaths in the Gulag, plus some famine and some miscellaneous brings to around 5million, some estimates upwards 20 million.

Everything after that sounds like a breeze.

Now for the involvement - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_involvement_in_regime_c...

Do I even need to bother looking how much communism had done around world?


often referred to as, you keep what you kill


Even if he dislikes Putin, this may be a virtue signal to avoid being the target of the recent growing anti-Russian sentiment in western countries. Some muslims did similar things to avoid the racism after 9/11 and during the Iraq war.
