While we're talking about asymmetric encryption, can someone explain to me why you can't decrypt information with the same public key that encrypted it? I understand the analogies (locks on a briefcase, unmixing paint, etc), but I can't "un-analogize" them to understand what's actually going on. Encryption keys aren't physical locks or paint. They're numbers(?). So why can I encrypt something by multiplying by a known public encryption key, but I can't decrypt it by dividing by that same known public key?

Amazon bought Twitch for its video live streaming infrastructure/tech, which at the time was unmatched. Now Amazon offers that infra/tech via AWS and anyone can spin up a Twitch competitor just as capable.

Amazon doesn't care about Twitch at all. Prime subs are just another benefit to make Amazon Prime more appealing to consumers, but iirc Twitch is the one who actually pays out of pocket for Prime subs.

Btw the term to describe that type of person is "tankie." They're ostensibly leftists, but in reality support all manner of authoritarian and genocidal leaders and groups.

Their foundational principle is generally "America and its allies bad, American enemies good" and almost all of their political positions are developed from that foundation.

Since tankies often don't like being called tankies, the more historically used term "campist" encompasses that "america vs everyone else" mentality. Campism is dumb and tankies end up fighting against the democratic movements they claim to support.

And since they're travelling along predetermined routes without human intervention, we could even give them their own dedicated lane that's more direct. That would free up traffic for normal people and streamline deliveries for these trucks.

And while we're at it, if they're already going on dedicated roads, why not make those roads more efficient? Rubber on asphalt damage is expensive to repair. Steel wheels on steel tracks are even more efficient and better to maintain.

And since steel tracks can handle so much more wear, we could actually make the trucks super duper overpowered and have them tow like 100 boxes at a time instead of just one or two.

And since steel tracks are conductive, we could actually electrify those rails to power the super duper overpowered track truck so it doesn't have to stop to refill for gas. Now we're combatting climate change at the same time.

At scale, humans are a lot like cargo actually. We could have dedicated track trucks to move large amounts of people from core parts of cities to other core parts of the same or other cities. Then we could reduce car and plane usage too.

Track trucks is a bit of a dumb name though, so maybe we should call it something more relevant. There's an Old French word "trahiner" that means "to pull/draw" so maybe something like that? Trainer? Or maybe just train? I think train sounds cool.

Too bad nothing like this exists or will ever exist 😔

Others have commented with the song from the video, but if you like stuttery music in the same way I do, might I suggest for your consideration:

  • Waste My Time by Eliminate
  • PROTECT ME by k?d
  • Out Of Space by Subshock & Evangelos
  • The drop for The Other Side by Au5 & Chime is super scrinkly scrongely — not sure if I would call it stuttery, but you might like it
  • The Girl (Stonebank Remix) by Hellberg (feat. Cozi Zuehlsdorff) is not quite stuttery, but it does move very fast and feels tight in a way that feels similar to me

Why not use a reverse proxy to keep everything on port 443 behind your own domain or duckdns? /gen

Yes, but to block fake news you need the max setting, which also blocks social media

If you'd prefer, of course, you could block social media without blocking fake news, because priorities

And then go to court against Morgan Stanley…

I believe they've been trying to get out of the contract though which is good, but it's still easier said than done.

If you're talking about quote tweets then I know what you mean. The order was confusing at first for me too but it's been so long I forgot that was even a learning curve I went through.

It was posted about 20 minutes after I finished making it last night. It's based on an older soup alignment chart I remembered coming across. Also I think Twitter is pretty intuitive to use. Open the app, the content is there. Scroll for more, like and retweet what you want to see more of. The app has obviously gone to shit lately but it's still the best example that came to mind for that cell. This comment is not an endorsement of the current state of Twitter.
