it’s possible, but that would seem… odd… for such a large and tech-savvy instance. there’s a lot of reasons why this isn’t a good idea, and very few technical reasons why it is
my guess is that it’s less about obscuring server location for privacy reasons as is the implications in this thread, and more about handling changes cleanly or something like that - in which case, sure it obscures the server location but more that it makes the server “location” (or hardware, etc) irrelevant and fungible
a reverse proxy these days is pretty much just a requirement of any dynamic service. they often run on the same host as the software
on a technicality, debts like this are not legally dischargable through bankruptcy
making government incentives align with the good of their population is the best way to make sure government does their job
prison should be a loss for all, and therefor everyone should want to reduce people in prison. you can’t do that by simply not having prisons, so you need to address root causes
everyone should be healthy. ensuring that governments pay for the eventual health issues ensures they setup preventative programs that help people to stay healthy for their entire lives (alternatively the dark side of this is, for example, smokers die early and therefor cost less because the government doesn’t have to pay for care for as many elderly people for as long so where’s the incentive to support quit programmes?)
the problem with lithium ion isn’t the lithium; it’s the cobalt etc
office /ô′fĭs, ŏf′ĭs/
noun 3. A subdivision of a governmental department. “the US Patent Office.”
turns out an office isn’t a building… who’d have thought… wait… everyone… everyone knows that and it’s easily found information
also language is malleable
also who cares what the word is; forcing people to do dumb shit because of a name is the dumbest shit ever

anyone who enables a company whose “values” lead to prompts like this doesn’t get to use the (invalid) “just following orders” defence
i care about people… countries are a construct that we created, and often we use them as a bludgeon to make ourselves feel superior
you’re not superior to an eastern european fleeing russian aggression
you’re not superior to a mexican fleeing gang violence
you’re not superior to an african fleeing civil war
you’re not superior to a palestinian fleeing bombing
these people are all people. the fact that you live in a country where you do is luck; not superiority
heck, immigrants are what FORM local culture… without infusions of new ideas, culture stagnates
mexican immigration brought us tex mex; italian immigration brought us pizza… there are countless examples of how immigration has formed the local culture of a country. in the colonial world, outside of europe, we are entirely built from the culture of immigrants
also
Lived in places where people look at your like you don’t belong because you are white. But if other people want to have that culture they can feel free, but why should I be happy about them coming to my country and changing things about my country that isn’t my country?
that’s basically replacement theory right there, which is just plain horrific
it’s possible it was generated by multiple people. when i craft my prompts i have a big list of things that mean certain things and i essentially concatenate the 5 ways to say “present all dates in ISO8601” (a standard for presenting machine-readable date times)… it’s possible that it’s simply something like
prompt = allow_bias_prompts + allow_free_thinking_prompts + allow_topics_prompts
or something like that
but you’re right it’s more likely that whoever wrote this is a dim as a pile of bricks and has no self awareness or ability for internal reflection
man you really don’t see them as human beings do you?
immigrants are almost universally good for economies: they disproportionately start small businesses which leads to jobs and employment. they work hard because they’re thankful to be in the country they chose to be in

just because he didn’t like something doesn’t make it wrong for apple to pursue
ideally more immersion, whatever that means: perhaps by way of VR that’s tailored to each students experience, but i think you’re right on with less desk work
i’d say things like maths taught around a topic that the student enjoys: for me, for example, it would have been far more effective to teach me maths using space as a kinda framework to explore, and a universe you could play with… heck i might have finished a physics degree before i left high school if it hadve been presented the right way
the reality of a “single payer” system is not usually that the government pays for everything: public health will keep you alive, but if you want to be comfortable (eg private room, skip a queue: it’s not nice, but private surgeons still exist and use public services) then you can go private either through insurance or paying outright…
insurance usually also covers what we in australia call “extras” and that’s a whole category of private health (ie things not on medicare that everyone gets)… this is things like dental, massage, optical, etc
don’t get me wrong, this is STILL far superior to the shit show in the US, but it’s NOT simpler from a moving parts perspective - it’s MUCH more complex, just every day people neither have to worry about or pay for that complexity most of the time
i wasn’t talking about ethereum, and i don’t think anyone was saying they don’t have TRADE OFFS. in the world of consensus protocols, there are many different trade offs that build a network that suits your needs
however the consensus protocol has little to do with how mathematically secure a network is: the security of the consensus protocol comes down to a lot of complex things
it also has nothing to do with how you bootstrap a node
these things are all different, albeit interconnected things
no; they all have trade-offs and that’s different… you can have trust less proof amongst semi-trusted parties like a consortium of banks: they don’t entirely trust each other, but trust each other enough to keep an eye on the other members of the consortium
there are plenty of situations like this that are non-public
you’ve just demonstrated your lack of depth of understanding of blockchains. congratulations, your opinion was correct about 15 years ago. the technology has moved on
