> It is often suggested that modern viewers dislike painted reconstructions of Greek and Roman statues because our taste differs from that of the ancients.
Yeah. I cannot thank enough those other ancients who dug up all statues and assumed they were all white.
I'm thinking about Michelangelo's The Pieta and oh so many others. Call it a lucky accident or "differing taste" or "mastering new techniques" or whatever you want, I take Michelangelo's The Pieta vs these "correctly re-colored" statues from early Rome any time.
Even once it's been fully known they used to be flashy, hardly anyone started sculpting masterpiece then asking kids to color them: I'm thinking about late 19th Rodin's The Kiss for example.
Just like our usage of the toilets, our taste evolved, not differed.
It shall also allow to make re-recordings in higher quality of stuff that are impossible to find in good quality. Like that cover that that band played only once at that obscure concert and that was recorded on an old tape. Or many very old reggae songs: although many from Jamaica/Kingston had great recordings (there was know-how and great recording studios there) there's also a shitload of old reggae songs that are just barely listenable to because the recording is so poor (and, no, it's not an artistic choice by the artist: it's just, you know, a crappy recording).
Intentions of votes for Labour went from 34% in 2019 to 17% or something now. While Reform UK is gaining voters left and right.
But it seems mostly due to a revolt against the "two tier Kharmer" policy of the current government: where normal people are jailed for online posts while others are free to break a female policer's nose at the airport and then be let to walk free by the judge and while others also get to rape hundreds of girls on an industrial scale and enjoy a nation-wide cover-up attempt (thankfully foiled) by the state...
Labour have dropped to 17% because their left wing has moved to the greens, Libdems and nationalists. Reform support has stopped growing at 25% and that's mainly Tories moving across. The only people that harp on about "two tier Keir" are the extreme right wing loonies.
Absolutely. Labour betrayed their core voters, who are looking for something else, but won't touch Reform UK because they're even more disgusting than the current right-wing Labour-in-name-only government.
Not 99%. Many people run an hypervisor and then a VM just for Docker.
Attacker now needs a Docker exploit and then a VM exploit before getting to the hypervisor (and, no, pwning the VM ain't the same as pwning the hypervisor).
Agreed - this is actually pretty common in the Proxmox realm of hosters. I segment container nodes using LXC, and in some specific cases I'll use a VM.
Not only does it allow me to partition the host for workloads but I also get security boundaries as well. While it may be a slight performance hit the segmentation also makes more logical sense in the way I view the workloads. Finally, it's trivial to template and script, so it's very low maintenance and allows for me to kill an LXC and just reprovision it if I need to make any significant changes. And I never need to migrate any data in this model (or very rarely).
Oracle's stock skyrocketed then took a nosedive. Financial experts warned that companies who bet big on OpenAI like Oracle and Coreweave to pump their stock would go down the drain, and down the drain they went (so far: -65% for Coreweave and nearly -50% of Oracle compared to their OpenAI-hype all-time highs).
Markets seems to be in a: "Show me the OpenAI money" mood at the moment.
And even financial commentators who don't necessarily know a thing about AI can realize that Gemini 3 Pro and now Gemini 3 Flash are giving ChatGPT a run for its money.
Oracle and Microsoft have other source of revenues but for those really drinking the OpenAI koolaid, including OpenAI itself, I sure as heck don't know what the future holds.
My safe bet however is that Google ain't going anywhere and shall keep progressing on the AI front at an insane pace.
Let me first say I find it totally disgusting that she's getting debanked and it's not the first time: Canada did debank truckers and people organizing to send aid to truckers a few years ago.
But to answer your question...
What she did was zero condemnation of what even Amnesty International qualifies as a crime against humanity by legally elected Hamas (classified as a terror organization) but then overstepping her bound where she had no legislation and condemning the prime minister of a country that entered war.
Entered war after said crimes against humanity, where 1200 civilians were raped, killed and taken hostages (to the great joy of Gaza's population who, back then, was welcoming Hamas like heroes for the crimes against humanity they just committed).
Like way too many in the west who stayed completely silent on Oct 7th, she and others then went on a legal jihad against Israel for fighting back against people who, simply put, want to eradicate jews from the surface of the earth.
The same kind of people who are staying silent on a father and his son killing 16 jews on Bondi beach two days ago but who'll be everywhere to cry "islamophobia" if anyone points out that they were fighting islamist jihad.
I find it disgusting that she and others are getting debanked but don't get me wrong: to me she's a despicable tool of the muslim brotherhood (which is a terrorist organization) who wished Israel and jews were erased from the face of earth.
Imagine you're australian and 75x Bondi beach happens by Hamas (I'm not saying Hamas did that attack, it's an example): 75x is the scale of Oct 7th compared to the death on Bondi beach. What should the answer of Australia be towards Gaza?
And imagine 75x Bondi beach happen and then ICC judges stay eerily quiet on the subject but then, once Australia strikes back, the ICC, overstepping its jurisdiction, condemns australian officials for war crimes.
That's what she did wrong.
But this certainly doesn't mean she should get debanked. She, and the other Hamas-loving ICC judges, should just be exposed for what they are.
Think of all the people who've been very vocal pro-Gaza, including here on HN, but who are totally quiet on the 16 jews who were just killed on a beach in australia in the name of islamist jihad.
Things are way muddier and way darker than we think.
Not 100% related but not 100% not-related either: I've got a script that generates variations of the domain names I use the most... All the most common typos/mispelling, all the "1337" variations, all the Levenhstein edit distance of 1, quite some of the 2, etc.
For example for "lillybank.com", I'll generate:
llllybank.com
liliybank.com
...
and countless others.
Hundreds of thousands of entries. They then are null-routed from my unbound DNS resolver.
My browsers are forced into "corporate" settings where they cannot use DoH/DoT: it's all, between my browsers and my unbound resolver, in the clear.
All DNS UDP traffic that contains any Unicode domain name is blocked by the firewall. No DNS over TCP is allowed (and, no, I don't care).
I also block entire countries' TLD as well as entire countries' IP blocks.
Been running a setup like that (and many killfiles, and DNS resolvers known to block all known porn and know malware sites etc.) since years now already. The Internet keeps working fine.
