I've self-discovered a similar categorization for my imaginary social network that will dethrone El Zuck:

Ultimate - black/white - passwords/keys/finance/backups Private - red - hidden by default Protected - yellow - default "logged in to computer" Public - green - shared w/ others (individuals) Broadcast - blue - intentionally wide distribution

...the key insight being that as you go "deeper" you know "less" (if that makes sense). Take the pictures on my phone and the album names (eg: Fall Trip 2025).

If I post my headshot to hire-an-actor.com, that's "Blue/Broadcast". If I share a picture of my kid blowing out birthday candles, that's "Green/Public". From "Green" you might be able to see the LABELS of my "Yellow" stuff and request access to it, but there should be no indication that "Red" or "Black" even exists.

So basically you as a user always operate at "Yellow", and can push "up" to Green (aka: discord), or Blue (aka: tweeter), and can unlock "Red" or "Black" via Password or 2FA/Cert.

I wish there were a way to easily "vivify" this, but at least putting names to it exposes where/how we're currently lacking.

The biggest issue still remains that content is "slippery" ... if it's not 10000% protected and airgapped, there's a chance that it can "escape".

Why not, like, contextualize it a bit?

Note-- The political views expressed in this example are incidental and should not be construed as relevant to the, like, point at hand:

https://driftglass.blogspot.com/2025/10/pay-no-attention-to-...

//TIM MILLER (BULWARK): "Like, again it wasn't as if there weren't racist jokes in young Republican groups in 1996 or 1976. Like, there were. Obviously. Like there there's an element of this always. But, like, the culture of, like, encouraging it and and almost, like, if you don't participate that means you're the bad one. It's a sign of weakness, right? The culture of drawing people into this based on that, right? Like that they're ... like that that the thing that they're leading with on the front of the pamphlet is, like, we hate Mexicans and we're going to make nasty cruel racist jokes and, like, we y'know believe in America first and and white Christian nationalism or whatever. Like, that being the first page of the pamphlet versus you know, like, the first page of the pamphlet being free markets and free people and, like, we also have some people here that write in the letters to the editor that's... write that stuff like that's not good either, like, you know what I mean but, like, it's difference. It is a it is a huge difference."//

...

//You can tell when millennial Never Trumper's know they're dancing through a minefield of bullshit by the sudden spike in the use of the word "like".//

...

//First, Tim, have you ever asked yourself [like] why, if [like] there were was obvious racism going on in the Republican party [like] as far back as 1976 or 1996 -- if it was [like] so god damned persistent and ongoing and everyone knew it -- [like] why no one in your party was "policing" it? Who was supposed to be in charge of that? [Like] Lee Atwater? Karl Rove? Tom DeLay? [Like,] Why was no one policing senator Jesse Helms? Or senator Strom Thurmond?//

"this entire argument from the left on crime is based upon a false reading of the stats" -> Not sure whom you're debating here. I'm aware of the stats, and don't think I've made points that disagree with your view of them.

"A large chunk of those repeat offenders have serious mental illness" -> 25%. A bigger problem is substance abuse, at 52%.

Your "Most of the rest view crime as either a job or a lifestyle" and my "people for whom crime is the best option" are saying the same thing. So I'm not clear why you say you're not sure it's the right way to look at it. We both agree that there are subgroups that choose crime deliberately, and based on the stats, it's still a fairly significant group.

"And ignoring these realities is what is driving populism". -> Yes. That is exactly what the article is saying. Quote: "This gives rise to a set of views among those elites, [...] which are basically out of sync with the views of the majority". You're 100% aligned with the author here.

> Can I now build my app in Xcode with an Android target and use that binary in the Play Store?

No. The vision document[1] lays out the direction of travel. Currently the focus is on shared business logic and libraries, rather than full native applications (although that's certainly a goal, albeit a very long term one).

> If someone likes their partner's body, but despises their personality and the way they treat them

Then they have to take the whole package or nothing at all. You can’t swap your partner’s brain. But you can change your OS on your computer. These things are not comparable.

> macOS sucks because their customers have an unhealthy emotional attachment to Apple.

No, macOS (currently) sucks because Apple is doing a bad job. Their customers’ relationship to the company is orthogonal to the OS’ quality.

> As for self-centeredness, shrinking family size might be the true reason. Only children tend to be a lot more pampered than kids who were born into a family of six.

to quote @inglor_cz - this is big if… you are arguing against generalization in your first paragraph and then you are proceeding to generalize… I am only child and my daughter is too and neither of us (especially me) have been pampered

> If that were true, you'd not see economy as the top or one of the top issues.

Polls also show that Republicans rate economic conditions as positive when there's a Republican in office, and negative when there's a Democrat in office regardless of the actual state of the economy. (The effect is much weaker among Democrats.)

This means that people care about the economy, but are terrible at knowing whether the economy is actually doing well or not, and certainly not educated enough to understand the impact that particular policies have on the economy.

The conclusion is that when there's a Democrat in office, Republicans are told by the Republican news media that the economy is bad; and when there's a Republican in office, Republicans are told by the Republican news media that the economy is good.

Find a conservative-leaning group on Facebook or reddit and see the resistance you get when you try to explain that Trump's tariffs are an inflationary tax on Americans. Political opinions have no bearing on reality, especially in the context of economic policy.

These machines exist a lot in the USA/other countries too, typically called a coin pusher:

> https://bhmvending.com/collections/coin-pushers

While it won't be true for all kids, personally I felt coin pushers taught me an important lesson about the drawbacks of gambling at a young age - it's obvious even to many children how rigged the penny pusher is. My own son had similar thoughts after a quick try of one too.

Others pointed plenty of arguments, but the ones I find most compelling (not necessarily useful in this context) are:

- you can serve any number of disjoint websocket services via same port via HTTP routing - this also means you can do TLS termination in one place, so downstream websocket service doesn't have to deal with the nitty-gritty of certificates.

Sure, it adds a hop compared to socket passing, and there are ways to get similar fanout with TCP with a custom protocol. But you need to add this to every stack that interacting components use, while websockets libraries exist for most languages that are likely to be used in such an endeavor.

The SDK doesn't quite work that way, your iOS-specific dependencies like SwiftUI and UIKit aren't available. For SwiftUI development, [Skip](https://skip.tools/) has a transpiler that translates your SwiftUI code into Jetpack Compose.

Without Skip, you can still share other code through JNI - similar to Kotlin Multiplatform.

Right, this article claims that "far right and far left see the same reality"

That is totally wrong.

The far right believes people like Thiel and Yarvin and Elon are geniuses, special people, who only They can do The Necessary Hard Thing and only They can prioritize resources effectively.

Actual smart people recognize that they are low quality classic authoritarian petty nobility desperate to hold on to and rationalize power that they do not deserve. They are no different from the dumbasses in 1850 England insisting that the Irish are starving because they are lazy catholics, and they must be made to suffer for their "character", or the shithead Southern Baptist preachers in 1850 USA that insisted that slavery was the rightful place for the brutal negro as ordained by god himself.

These impotent, pathetic, egotistical losers fell into lucky power and money, and because they do not have the moral integrity to be honest even with themselves, are forced to invent an entire worldview that says they deserve what happened, the same way a housecat deserves their litterbox cleaned out. They have to build this insane and farcical worldview where it is right and just that they make billions of dollars as people suffer, that they get to control nations because they deserve to, as ordained by god I guess.

You can tell they are stupid because their worldviews are always that of a child. They have to be "strong", not just of will, but physically, in a world where war is fought through controllers and actuators. They have to be bullies because they are incapable of recognizing anything more substantial. They miss the important parts of scifi (like star trek's "Hey, isn't socialism just the best?") because they are incapable of (and do not respect) things like media literacy, which is why they spend such immense effort trying to ape the very surface level details like "Talking computer". They couldn't write a persuasive essay to get themselves out of a paper bag, but no they are definitely smart.

That's not even mentioning that these people are pretty open that they believe the important "Hard Thing" they have to do is totally unnecessary cruelty, like murdering your puppy that you have poorly trained, or keeping black people and women out of jobs they "don't deserve" or by siccing the temu-SS on people who make a fuss. People disparage grok for being racist, but it's intentional, because the followers of these people believe racism is objective. They believe an LLM that isn't forwardly racist cannot possibly be accurate because they believe that racism is true, and are trying to bring back scientific racism.

I think people will get excited about this and then quickly realize how painful it is to code in a foreign environment from the platform.

How miserable it would be trying to write Java or kotlin targeting iOS apps. I think this will be the same.

Just use the native tools and languages for the platform. Swift/Objc/xcode for iOS. Java/Kotlin/Android Studio for Android.

You will be so much happier.

Solar panel weighs like 50 lbs. Think of it as a sheet of plywood. Not only do have to support the weight but have to worry about the wind load.

You can use wood, but then you have buy good amount of treated lumber and put it together. Galvanized steel also lasts longer than wood.

My impression is that galvanized steel fences are cheaper than wood ones. Even using steel posts and wood panels. People make wooden fences cause prefer the look.

I don't know any Democrats who avoid voting Republican because they consider it a "sin." The Democrats I know avoid voting Republican because they think that Republican policies are bad for the country.

I also see Democrats perfectly happy to see Democrats justly convicted of crimes. The Republican approach is to defend members of your "team" at all costs, no matter how guilty they are. The cult of personality is much strong on the Republican side.

If we could trust them to be devoting resources to it without any risk of abusing their access and power in the future, that would be sort of okay, but we can't.

Like, should Lockheed intentionally hire North Korean programmers at cheap rates because North Korea can afford to devote resources to helping Lockheed? The issue here is not primarily that North Korea is a massive citizen-trampling megastate. It's that Lockheed's interests are misaligned with North Korea's.

Yes, and I never ran around with cash. Supposing I did get a cash gift before my teens, it would just sit in the "bank" i.e. a box in the dresser. Of course there were no gift cards or any of that crap back then, which is what you'd expect to receive today. I mean, as an adult now, what are you likely to receive: a gift card from a relative, or cash?

There's zero reason for a child to carry cash for no purpose. At any rate their lives are so structured usually that this notion that they're going to run to some store to convert it to prepaid cards is far-fetched to begin with.

I see a failure of parenting that some don't want to give credence. I'm not sure why.

That’s actually a really interesting take (even though the OP software is not really for that). How would you _like_ to design this treehouse? Is the particular tree relevant here (do you have a photogrammetric scan of it for insrance) or are you planning to design a generic shape you are confident can be installed on the target trunk? Is the treehouse more of a plank platform for one or an actual multiroom house? Is the budget closer to 5$ or 50 000$?

So... if the building is being paid for by Trump (sourced from these donors), does that mean he continues to own it even after he leaves office? Or is he donating these White House improvements to the American people?

Perhaps he would choose to knock it down at the end of his term. I'm not sure under what terms the President is given the White House. It doesn't sound like there's any requirement to return it in the condition they find it.

What do you mean?

This doc you linked is from August.

The blog post from today includes, in fact at the very top an XCode Swift project emulating a Pixel 9.

The docs include a detailed Getting Started for Android and they even have an Android examples repo.

Hence the SDK.

By all means, it very much is possible to build Android Swift apps in XCode.

at the time, the openai API and the printer max speed capped out at roughly the same time and would use up an entire roll in ~ 10 minutes. if you didn't wind the paper back up it would fill a whole garbage bag.

You had said:

> When Obama really increased the number of pardons, a lot of contemporary opinion writers said stuff along the lines of "this is a dangerous precedent and we're lucky that the pardons are fairly popular and sane." ... the warnings from abusing these limitations from previous administrations was exactly for this moment. Nobody is saying Trump isn't the bad one, he is. But the conditions were laid for him.

I take this to mean that Obama had abused his power past his authority, and you used the word "limitations" here to mean that there are some sort of institutional or structural limits which he was exceeding, thus paving the way for the current abuses.

The implication is that if Obama had stayed within the bounds (which bounds?) then the condition would not have been laid for Trump to do what he's doing.

My point is the conditions were there whether or not Obama did what he did, because the power never had limits, never was intended to have limits, because the limiting factor was not electing a bad guy. If any conditions were laid, they were by the Founders in how they structured the Constitution and the pardon power. They just didn't think that with elections, the electoral college, impeachment, and the insurrection clause we would be dumb enough to actually elect an insurrectionist.

> So do you have a viable solution here?

Nope! I mean, as far as the Trump administration goes they are going to burn themselves out, the only question is how much damage they are going to do on the way down and what the blast radius is. The important question now is what to do with America after that happens and I don't know what that looks like. Maybe balkanization, I dunno depends how bad it gets. If some key Republicans come to their senses this can be solved relatively quickly and painlessly, then we can talk about revising the Constitution. Otherwise who knows.

Same here. My three-year old loved maps and we always played with them (making map of her room, etc etc)

We enrolled her at the local Montessori and she rushed to the map section but was told she is forbidden from using it until she takes the lesson on that or whatever is called. That lesson was 2-3 months away, and meanwhile all other kids were able to play with the maps.

This, combined with other rigidities and a crazy schedule totally unsuited for working parents (9-1pm wtf) made it impossible. After struggling a lot for two months, she went back to her old daycare and was very happy there, and is now at her elementary school now

Montessori is just an educational framework, I have no idea where you draw broad conclusion that the one or two things you looked at deemed it be "rigid" or little opportunity... Sounds like a random bad apple. There's a correlation between gifted children and montessori because it allows them to develop at their own pace which is often faster than that of traditional classrooms etc, it's not for everyone.

excellent point. at tmobile (circa 2014) it required 87 APIs be hit to turn on a new subscriber. if the 34th API failed, the subscriber had to wait and start over clogging up the stores. at the core only 3 or 4 of those APIs were crucial to start the service and the rest could have been fine with eventual consistency. who is ticketed for what flight is the core, the rest dealing with plane can be handled manually just like the small airplanes do it, manual weight & balance, flight planning, etc. but Alaska chooses not to do that and is ok losing millions of dollars per day disrupted while losing customers because they do not care. and not hiring a safety officer for years proves they do not care.

most improper ones are simply capitalizing on the name recognition, some may have the idealism but fail in the implementation. if you do enough research it is pretty clear that only AMI accredited teachers implement the original method as designed by maria montessori. AMS comes close. and everyone else never received any form of montessori training at all.

Nextcloud suffers from flexibility, it's got a lot to offer but requires dialling in to your specific use case, the mistake most admins is to assume you can just run it without tuning, it has too many differing options to do that smoothly out of the box.

The ability to just run it in a snap has really contributed to this imho, Nextcloud is enterprise software you just happen to be able to run in your homelab.

Is this a joke? You think Democrat Senators got 24 million more votes? Where are you getting these nonsense numbers?

Update

Here are some rough numbers I found quickly (because your numbers are obvious nonsense):

President R - 77.3m - 49.8% D - 75.0m - 48.3% Others - 2.9m - 1.9% Senate D - 55.9m - 49.1% R - 54.4m - 47.7% Others - 3.7m - 3.2% House R - 74.4m - 49.8% D - 70.6m - 47.2% Others - 4.6m - 3.1%

Looks like the system is working to me. The Senate vote not withstanding of course because of some smaller states, but it's not some extreme miscarriage of justice as you imply. The majority party won and is currently enacting policies that voters wanted. I'm sorry that your beliefs aren't as popular as you thought.

If you have a nest in the ground you can fill it with CO2 gas at the entrance hole in the evening when they are resting. The gas will sink into the nest and leave no toxic residue.

Trick might be finding the CO2, you can normally rent a tank at a welding supply shop. You'll also need a pressure regulator and hose.

Dry ice can also be used, put some in a soda bottle with water and a hose taped up or snug fit to the top. Do not allow the bottle to pressurize however.

Some people have reported using car exhaust but I'm not sure that's as effective.

I was just saying that it's fine if you don't accept my premise, but that doesn't change the reality of the premise.

The International Math Olympiad qualifies as solving original problems, for example. If you disagree, that's a case you have to make. Transformer models are unquestionably better at math than I am. They are also better at composition, and will soon be better at programming if they aren't already.

Every time a magazine editor is fooled by AI slop, every time an entire subreddit loses the Turing test to somebody's ethically-questionable 'experiment', every time an AI-rendered image wins a contest meant for human artists -- those are original works.

Heck, looking at my Spotify playlist, I'd be amazed if I haven't already been fooled by AI-composed music. If it hasn't happened yet, it will probably happen next week, or maybe next year. Certainly within the next five years.
