Is not the phenom in itself, is the fact that someone can predict/call upon it that was surprising. The fact that they had already given esoteric meanings to the phenom previously is just the icing of the cake.
And I for one am grateful for the Enlightenment illustrating the deification of Knowledge
The story has beed reused many times in Arts. One more example is in A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court from Mark Twain (1890) and I am sure is many more examples
I guess one can argue that, in North America, by the hands of anglo saxon protestant pilgrims, were some mass killing of native population over the course of 4 centuries (although calling it Genocide is a naive simplicity IMO). But this was not the case for Spanish conquered America and much less for Columbus 4 trips. The only thing you are showing saying that Columbus was continuing some general genocidal douchebaggery in 1504, with a small crew and non functional ships to his command is that you are indoctrinated. I would recommend to ask yourselfe who did this indoctrination and what is their agenda.
Is funny, because that kind on unscientific unrational thinking was the main handicap the native population of America had against the Europeans migrants and the moral of the story in question is precisely that the power of knowledge and rational thinking can help you survirve some very long odds stacked against you
the main handicap the native population had was vulnerability to diseases, but Columbus' habit of using them as slaves and cruelty sufficient for even the Spanish Crown to act against him was also a factor in the majority of the Taino being dead within a generation of him discovering them.
Ironic that someone in denial of the well established historical facts of the conquistadors and insistent that only "Anglo Saxon Protestants" did any harm in the Americas is lecturing about "indoctrination" and the "power of knowledge"
Diseases contagions between isolated populations is not an intentional act of agression from a bad invasor that wants to kill all the native population. There was also transmission of new diseases from native american populations to europeans without those crippling effects you might suggest are the main cause of the conquest of America.
The well established historical facts you mention are neither well established more less facts. For example, the Bodadilla report is argued in some circles to be just part of political bickering, which of course, is totally normal in the context, as it is the fact that Columbus itself has marginal control and presence over little territory for a very short period of time. To call it genocidal is still, inequivocally, for much that you dont like it, indoctrination
To call Spanish treatment of native Americans 'genocidal' simply echoes the opinion of Raphael Lemkin, the guy who literally defined the term. I'm not sure your assertion that there was no mass killing in Spanish-conquered America (presumably the writings of the conquistadors and their contemporaries are part of the "indoctrination"...) is more intellectually respectable...
As for Columbus as an individual, there are certain circles that will argue that despite being the sort of bloke whose reaction to the natives' peaceful inclinations and ignorance of swords was "with fifty men we could subjugate them and make them do whatever they want", who insisted on making good on that by deporting some of then to Spain even when explicitly asked not to and presaging the encomienda system with demands to find gold in greater quantities than the locals actually knew about, Columbus was a nice man who just wanted to make friends and religious converts who was unfairly maligned by his compatriots, just as there are certain circles that argue that Auschwitz was merely a temporary internment camp. And I've already acknowledged the unintentional role of diseases which helped Columbus and his compatriots depopulate territories with far more efficiency than the Final Solution, but it's more than a little difficult to insist that the forced labour and punishments and roundup of nine and ten year old girls to be used as sex slaves didn't play any role. The best thing that could be said for Columbus is that some of his compatriots were likely a lot worse.
I don't know the parent's brand but I have a CECOTECT CONGA 11090 that fills exactly the description. CECOTEC is a spanish brand tho, and may not be available everywhere, and almost sure they manufacter the hardware in China so very possible the same specs are offered by other brands elsewhere, but those are my two cents
> Imagine if the car in front could warn the car behind of an incident
They can, that is why cars have all this pretty lights in the back! They can warn of several things, like intention of turning, braking, accidents, is amazing.
And it works wonders if the human driver focus on the trafic ahead of the car just in front
Yeah, the lights in the back of your car can warn of exactly four things:
- The car is going to turn left (one blinking yellow light)
- The car is going to turn right (one blinking yellow light)
- The car is stopping (three solid red lights)
- An unspecified error occurred (two blinking yellow lights).
It's not exactly a high - bandwidth form of communication. Most of the purpose of the lights behind your car is to remind other human drivers of your continued existence. As you point out, some of this deficiency can be made up by not looking at them.
Imagine a world where you could automatically talk over an intercom with the driver in front of you about traffic conditions. I bet you'd find safer, better-informed driving. Self-driving cars make that theoretically easy and humanly pleasant.
Every time I find some idealized piece about the 30s and 40s, and specially in USA, I wonder what kind of history was taught to the writer and by whom was taught, what was the agenda behind this history instruction?
I really hope we don't get back to any of that in 1, 2 or 100 generations
The concept of living in a society where people contribute to it for the benefit of the society instead of themselves is not a lamentable one. Regardless of whether or not nationalist propaganda is good or bad in your morality system, there's no civilization that lasts when the culture no longer believes in itself.
The idea of america is how this country can keep going. Yes the reality is that we often fall short. But defeatist naysayers who decry any attempt at making things better are worse than turncoats.
Actually I am not seeing the fingerprint they announce in the blogpost
When I tried to pull from my repo I got the warning message, right
I removed the old keys with ssh-keygen -R github.com
Then, trying with `ssh -T git@github.comp` I see this
The authenticity of host 'github.com (140.82.121.3)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:p2QAMXNIC1TJYWeIOttrVc98/R1BUFWu3/LiyKgUfQM.
So, first thing of course, is that the fingerprint does not match the one in the blogpost which is
SHA256:uNiVztksCsDhcc0u9e8BujQXVUpKZIDTMczCvj3tD2s
Second problem, is that ip 140.82.121.3 seems to be reported as HIGH RISK[0]
So basically, how should I proceed? I am not security expert but I would say I am not an illiterate on this, and I have no idea. I guess the majority of users would you accept the new key, but is this the right move? I would need to do it if I want to do some work, that is for sure
You’re looking at the fingerprint of the ECDSA key; only the RSA key was replaced (and only the new RSA key’s fingerprint is in the blogpost). Check https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/keeping-your-accou... for the full list: the key you’re seeing is listed, so you should be fine.
I'm still having this problem. Here is my known_hosts file:

When I type 'yes' I get this added to my host file:

And sorry to reply to myself but this is not great at all
I manually added the new RSA SSH public key entry to my known_hosts file (like they say in the blogpost)
Then ran ssh -T git@github.com and got
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '140.82.121.3' to the list of known hosts.
Hi gassius! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Then, when trying a git pull, I got this:
Warning: the RSA host key for 'github.com' differs from the key for the IP address '140.82.121.4'
Offending key for IP in ~/.ssh/known_hosts:63
Matching host key in ~/.ssh/known_hosts:64
So basically, the Offending key is the one I added manually as per blogpost?
Ok, I am in Europe, and this seems like an issue of global distribution network or something, but this is not great AT ALL, either the blogpost information is not complete or something fishy is going on
UPDATE: The replies makes clear what I was seeing those errors and make sense. Thanks
