Yes, I wrote an article about it over 10 years ago.

It made the front page of a number of social media sites like reddit. Then, nearly simultaneously they were all removed.

I didn't even post the article. It spilled there from I think a Google plus post.

My candor was apparently off.

I'm certainly not a psychologist. I meant no harm but clearly I did something wrong. There's probably tripwires to his condition I simply don't know. I might have crossed them. I never got an explanation but it's fine. Lesson learned: people with any kind of disease/disability should be added to things to stay away from writing about without the proper co-authors. Sorry about that, internet.

I voluntarily pulled it shortly after. I'm not going to hurt someone for imaginary internet points.

The interesting thing though was the implied coordination between the platforms. It may have been a coincidence, may have been real,

I wouldn't be surprised if somebody with administrative power from all the major ones are on some chat server together. There's certainly a spillover effects between them.

Honestly I haven't tried that kind of journalism in a while. Apparently I'm pretty good at, well at least the "making stuff popular" part.
Still no subtitles for picture-in-picture though =(
I mean, it's kinda well known that war is the mother of all innovation right?

That explains it right there if you take the theory as true. WW2, Cold War. I mean even the moon landing was part of that cold war era technology advancement.

So now instead of governments/military pushing for needs, it's now companies trying to innovate for money. Which can work, but you need CEOs to take risks like Musk or even Jobs.
I think the big arguments for basic income are:

1) there is a huge and inefficient bureaucracy involved in administering these various assistance programs

2) the way these programs work (you lose access to them if your income rises above a fairly low threshold), we've essentially created a marginal tax rate of 100% on certain types of low income workers.

3) rapid technological change and increasing automation undermines the moral argument against redistribution of wealth.

It is interesting that libertarians, not generally known for enthusiasm around wealth distribution, appear at least intrigued by basic income.

This is just a quick summary, of course, I'd encourage you to read more about the case for basic income.
Sounds like the previous ideas were all flawed, and the trend (which is all that it is— a trend) towards internet centralization stalled progress after that.
While I've never done this myself, there are people who avoid adding non-Apple users to group messages

Mainly because the entire chat ends up being downgraded from iMessage to plain SMS, even if only a single non-Apple device joins
And this is one of the reason why the AI doom scenario is a real concern: Intellectual curiosity means that even some people who understands the risks are likely to be prepared to take it.

There's also many others. One of the scarier one is that if you believe that strong AI will eventually take over, then it may be a rational response to act to get on its good side (whether to save yourself, save your family, or hope it takes pity on all of humanity if we're nice to it instead of fight it). And that may perversely mean working to aid its takeover.

Combine that with the simulation argument, and you have some really nasty scenarios:

If you are in a simulation, then any act you take against strong AI could lead to spending an eternity in simulated hell (alternatively such punishment might be inflicted on your loved ones) if said AI wanted to.

Whether or not that is actually likely does not matter. What matters is whether enough people believe it to be a plausible scenario that a strong AI may run simulations, and may use our actions in the simulations to determine whether or not to punish us in the simulation, and whether or not said people believe that the number of simulations is sufficiently high to make it likely for them to be living in a simulation.

Any person who believes they are more likely to live in a simulation than not, and that it is more likely for strong AI to punish actions taken against the interest of a strong AI takeover than not, will have a rational reason to consider acting in the interests of a strong AI takeover even if they know it is malign on the basis that they may decide the alternatives (whether to themselves, their family or their entire world) to be worse.

So if an AI takeover becomes possible at one point in our subjective future, then chances are it has already happened.
Probably need to be more specific about 'skill as a dancer' too though - I think you're responding mainly about motor control (?) but try choregraphing a bunch of three year olds to actually perform that routine!
I can't speak to the nutritional aspect of it, but having attempted various high protein or protein/fat heavy keto diets in the past with varying levels of success I do have to say it doesn't take long before you just get sick of eating meat. The charm of it wears off. Our paleolithic ancestors would have craved and sought out any and all carbohydrate sources, and preserved summer fruits and berries as much as they could have. First nations here in Canada made/make pemmican, a mixture of animal products and berries from the summer, as a winter food, and I'm sure this practice goes back for a very long time.

At a certain point, I'm sure being sick of meat (especially from fairly large and omnipresent megafauna), the services of a companion dog/wolf would have been worth the waste.

Also many northern hunter gatherers eat the contents of the stomach of their kills as a way to get carbohydrates, trace nutrients and vitamins, etc. Between that and a source for furs, leathers, bones (for tool/structure making), one might make more kills than necessary and have excess meat.
OP gives no proof that Tether is not holding 1:1 reserves. There is, however, a good proof that they do: Tether has held the 1:1 beg pretty well recently. Bitcoin price dropped to $4.000 last year and Tether exchange rate has held pretty well. It is important to mention that USDT is still liquid despite the lack of USD on/off-ramps. People regularly sell USDT on the offline market, and can exchange to USDC on many exchanges.

> But Tether is printing so much money.

So is USDC, and the price of Bitcoin is going higher. This means Bitcoiners have lots of value in Bitcoin and some of them are going to convert that value to USD. They are mainly using USDT for that, for whatever reason.

> Tether printing press is driving Bitcoin price.

Wrong. My proof for that is "where is the premium to buy Bitcoin". In a very liquid market (which for the most part, crypto is), prices should be the same up to the costs (transaction and banking fees). Prices have been higher in Coinbase during this run. As I am typing right now, Coinbase prices are 50-80 dollars higher for Bitcoin. GBTC is even more ridiculous with 10-15% premium on price (but also GBTC is less liquid/arb-able). This signifies that demand is coming from US retail and institutional investors.

> Tether is holding USD as securities/derivatives/whatever.

All of them are. See: https://omarabid.com/usd-stable-coins

Google doesn't really care if its app developers lie out of the side of their mouth. Apple is saying they do.

1) trying to distract the above problems by pointing out other issues doesn't make them go away

2) you talk about fiat collapse being imminent...USDT is worth far less than any fiat (see: nothing) I don't get how these ardent fiat haters don't see their entire ecosystem has been coopted by something that has infinitely less value than the thing they so despise

I end up at: http://avsquid.com/channels/andy_warhol

This makes no sense at all.

#2

I see the typical sign-in and sign-up form, but I have no idea why I would want to do either?

#3

There is a list of video hosting/source sites with explanations of what they are, but the list is not convincing and is incomplete. Why do I need you to provide an incomplete list?

#4

For some reason you decided to strip out the "Jr." from Andy Warhol's real name?

#5

You've essentially copied the description of Andy Warhol from wikipedia. If I wanted to read the wikipedia description, I'd go to wikipedia.

#6

The list of Warhol videos is nice, but there are far better ways to search for videos on a given topic, in particular, Google Video Search.

#7

The text "Also videos with Andy's gang: " just gives links to wikipedia articles, not videos.

#8

I don't see any authoritative references, and the bits of text you've picked up from wikipedia are not credited.

#9

I sincerely have no idea what your site is trying to accomplish and why I would want to visit it, let alone sign up for it?

##

I'm sorry to be so negative, but I really don't get it. The idea of pulling together other sources, namely wikipedia text and youtube video (or other video hosts) is interesting but not very compelling. If I wanted either text or video I could find them on my own -- in more complete forms/collections -- with simple searching.

EDIT: Example Search

It baffles me that there are college-level CS instructors who haven't heard of RPN before -- my high school CS teacher had us write an RPN calculator.

That said, I can see an argument that an RPN calculator "trivializes" the assignment compared to an infix calculator, especially if the latter was supposed to do order-of-operations.
The F-16 isn't a single role aircraft; it can dogfight/intercept, perform CAS, perform SEAD, and conduct interdiction raids.
As I said before, I believe the general idea of a docking station is the best approach. I'll extend that to add that, in the interest of consumers the auto industry ought to arrive at a common standard for docking stations. All this Tesla stuff is neat but it does not allow for ideas such as docking stations at mall parking lots (charge while you shop) or even at work.

This is where, again, the humble charge cord wins again: It is far easier to agree on a common connector than to design a docking system that will work with all cars for the next 50 years. In many ways this is not unlike all cars using a refueling port that is compatible with the nozzles at all gas stations.

With a common charge cord and connector design one could imagine a future where malls intall charge stations in a selected number of charging parking spots, even as profit centers. Companies could provide similar benefits to their employees either for free or paid.

Thinking through this argument makes me conclude that electric cars might not truly mature until charging mechanisms are standardize to the extent that they are compatible with any electric car or truck produced.

Tesla can do whatever they want, of course, yet the fact remains that if I buy a BMW and my wife a Tesla we will have two completely different charging systems to contend with rather than one. This, I think, will be an important consideration as the electric car evolves.

"And nobody was really poor. At least, nobody worth speaking of".
Why should property go to the most (fiscally) productive use? Is this simply an axiom? I assert that it has bad consequences. In my city (Toronto) the tax rate is set on the assumption that land is put the "most productive use". This forces out non-profits, artists, theatres, dancers and in general everything that makes a city worth living in in favour of chain restaurants and condos.
There are plenty of people who have financial incentives to doubt it since it’s more profitable. Any time some city tries to restrict it you’ll reliably see people dismissing it as a minor non-issue.
Matt, may I ask how you made the documentation? It's wonderful - its appearance is so in-keeping with the whole project. The Ramforth Reference Manual cover page says 'Typeset on a Smith-Corona Coronet XL'. Did you use a word procssing program or text editor, if so, running on what? How do you keep the Coronet XL running in good repair?
Yes. Without proper cleaning, it is a highway for infection. You also need to maintain a balance of blood oxygen and carbon dioxide. Many of these people require supplemental oxygen. So, you have to control respiration rate and oxygen mix. This would be a very bad to try yourself.

You're still ignoring the fact that Germany is significantly more socialist than the US with a lower current unemployment rate. Using them as an example of how moving away from socialism is beneficial seems odd in that context.

So was T-3. FTA:

Odd, because the Mayor of DC (Black Female) very clearly refused help from the feds.

"Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser told federal law enforcement to stand down just one day before a mob of Trump supporters breached the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday, smashing windows, entering the chambers, and forcing lawmakers and congressional staff inside into lockdown.

“To be clear, the District of Columbia is not requesting other federal law enforcement personnel and discourages any additional deployment without immediate notification to, and consultation with, MPD if such plans are underway,” Bowser wrote in a letter to acting U.S. Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen, acting Secretary of Defense Chris Miller, and Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy.

According to Bowser, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department in coordination with the U.S. Park Police, Capitol Police, and Secret Sevice were well-equipped to handle whatever problems could come up during the Trump rallies planned for Wednesday.

“The District of Columbia Government has not requested personnel from any other federal law enforcement agencies,” she continued. “To avoid confusion, we ask that any request for additional assistance be coordinated using the same process and procedures.”

Bowser also explained that the presence of “unidentifiable” federal law enforcement agents in D.C. could “cause confusion” and “become a national security threat” because of the lack of distinction between them and “armed groups.” [1]

And weirdly tried to push the blame on others [2].

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but that looks really wild.

It's almost as though she wanted it to 'get out of hand'? Or why would she openly deny help?

In math, you can write:

f(x,y)= x+2y
A= {1,2,3}
reduce(f, A)

A more readable syntax for people who did math at school could be:

reduce(x+2y, SomeNumbers)

I blocked most Gawker sites from my Google search results, because all the URLs seem to be broken and it takes me a few seconds of staring at a page unrelated to my search before I remember that and hit the back button.

I simply don't understand the point of the changes they made.

Edit: from one of the comments on the article (I'm even more confused about their changes now):

"Another thing that may be contributing is that after the redesign they, Gawker, put some national redirect for Canada that actually breaks the links and just dumps you on the home page.
This has become so frustrating that I don't actually go to gawker sites anymore and used to log into lifehacker and i09 nearly daily."
It seems to me that he's an opportunist. Rather we trust this particular service to each his own. He seems like a smart business person. I think he knows that gaining trust is an important obstacle to this business. So I'll keep my eyes open and see what they do with this to gain our trust.
Good thing we have the Government to protect us. At least someone we can trust with all we do online.

> the revving itself isn't inherently desirable

I'm not sure that is quite true. I like a deep rumbeling bass, anything from explosions, thunder, or music - I do however nok like higher frequency sounds, such as jet engines, or a 18k rpm F1 engine. A traditional large reving engine is like that low frequency sound.

> People like the revving noise for the same reason a ringing bell makes a dog drool.

But isn't that true for the vast majority of things we enjoy. People find different things beautiful, based on what they assosiate it with.
Nice idea, but the implementation is not great: many places have multiple soups superimposed, but only one is even shown if you click and there's no way to "expand" a cluster. If you want the full list for a country, you need to browse the pictures by location.

> The thing is - nVidia uses shared source for all of their drivers. This is why you always have the newest GPU feature support and performance on their Linux driver - it's the same codebase as it is for Windows and was for macOS.

The same is true of AMD, they share most of their display configuration code (in the kernel) and userspace code between a set of drivers on Windows, Linux, and macOS; they just also publish documentation and redistributable firmware, and maintain a second very-high-quality driver in Mesa, and due to the availability of documentation and that Mesa GL driver, there is a second Vulkan driver (RADV) which is also excellent.

Not just regrettable in a philosophical sense, but in a real, break-fix, operational speed, meeting multi-million dollar per night, getting-shit-done-for-real bottom-line sense. There is a direct correlation in observability in open and closed tech components of a stack. If you have the tech talent to dig into open stacks, break-fix resolution is faster with more granular traceability (and observability depth is unmatched), your team's understanding of the data and process models is more thorough, you gain a better understanding where the design limits lay or at least their directional value, and you have a better overall sense of control over the solution.

That "if you have the tech talent..." qualifier is the big one, though. I see very few companies who recognize how to attract and retain that talent level. IMHO, out of the more than 200 companies I've consulted at or sold deeply enough into in the sales cycle to see enough of how their sausage gets made to form an opinion, probably no more than 1:100 do this. So we end up here, where most companies are content to hire well below that level, buy closed tech stacks, and then play support-tag while users sit unhappy. Plays well politically, but it's a mess for delivery service levels.

> They separate them because their parents broke the law and are being processed.

Funny how no other country seems to have this policy. Mostly because it is inhuman. It's not 'due process' when your head of state and his fascist minion has said it is to discourage people from attempting to flee. Whether or not they are illegal is immaterial (plenty of them are not).

If anybody is wondering about how a wealthy and otherwise orderly society can slide into fascism: this is it. To deny other people their humanity is a very important first step.
