Interesting that Anarchism is largely ignored despite it playing a crucial role in the 20th century as well as being to diametrically opposed to all of Fascism, Capitalism and Soviet Lennism/Stalinism. For those unaware, Gandhi's philosophy was largely based on Leo Tolstoy's Pacifist-Anarchism, and Gandhi subsequently served as a major influence to both MLK and Nelson Mandela. That 3 of the most positively viewed figures of the 20th century, as well as people like Bertrand Russell and George Orwell were all influenced by an idea that most people have never heard of is fascinating.

Anarchism itself is so broad and varied that it resists characterisation. You have the entire spectrum, from primitivists to pacifists to futurists. People who claim that voting in elections is pointless(like many on the Occupy movement) to people who advocate for the lesser evil(Noam Chomsky 'endorsing' Hillary Clinton) to people who advocate for the worse evil(accelerationists)

The one thing that can be said about it with certainty, is that it is seen as "a tendency in human affairs, to question existing power structures". Whether that be the state, religion or interpersonal power relations between race or gender. Much of what we define as "progress" is in reality questioning deep-seated assumptions that seem so obvious that only a fool would question them. In the past, some of these assumptions were things like "It is obvious there are significant difference between races", "It is obvious that men and women are not intellectually equal", "It is obvious that we need a monarch or ruling class to maintain peace and order". Today it is things like "It is obvious that corporations are here to stay and beneficial" or "It is obvious that we need a centralised government to keep order".

One of major problems with society today is that people are essentially told there are 2 positions:

1)You think on balance Government is worse and bloated, and therefore steps should be taken to reduce government influence and increasing private control of resources.

2)You think on balance corporations are worse, and therefore steps should be taken to reduce corporate influence by increasing government control of resources.

Most Anarchists contend that Government and Corporations are undesirable, and that we must work towards some kind of decentralized, federated, non-hierarchical system with free association.

I think in general people need to think more about Libertarian Socialism(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism) as a viable alternative to the US/Soviet model, which are more alike than different, as they are both in essence state-capitalist systems. They aren't identical, but fall in a pretty narrow spectrum and incentivise power-seeking. An approach that questions everything on the other hand is the essence of anarchism: a first-principles based method of determining the structure of society.

This has always been the case. No presidential candidate can win without millions of dollars in campaign 'contributions'.

Trump had a smaller budget than Hillary - so if anything, it proves the opposite of what you're claiming.

From what I've seen I'm guessing the amazon's choice tag is arbitrary and generated by some algorithm that simply matches up common search terms to the most-bought item. When it's something simple and common like "wireless mouse" it's probably alright. When it's a bit more esoteric like "male displayport socket soldered connector" or some other hopeless attempt to optimize search results and filter out noise, you get strange things.
Perhaps this is nonsense and anecdotal but what's concerning for me is not that they're simply wrong and are showing me irrelevant material, but it's that they can become a feedback loop of dissonance and can be reflection of a shift in viewing habits or pollution by what YouTube thinks is a similar demographic to you, but are quite different. When these recommendations are combined with a pseudo-trusted body (in most people's mind) that can be manipulated, it becomes quite a fruitful environment for propaganda.

Thanks, seems the right idea, but browsing the code, decode just interprets a single xpath expression. While that is useful (and I've used xpath from the CL like before), I found I quickly needed to be able to chain them together etc.

pup (https://github.com/ericchiang/pup/blob/master/README.md) which apparently inspired xpup does seem to have this, e.g. chaining, but unfortunately it uses css selectors instead of xpath.

> putting seller stickers on co-inventory to track the counterfeiters would be a nice start

Great idea! They'd still have the benefits of mixing inventory but then you can track who is putting fakes in the bin.
Great advice! However, from my experience, I've found that networking events to be a complete waste of time -- I could be especially bad at it -- but I've found that the better and more long term way to build a network is to work with people. Be it joining a startup, going to work at a large tech company, collaborating on open-source, or even volunteering somewhere.

If you work at an early-stage startup you typically get to meet/interact with investors. And I did exactly that, the investors that I met at the first startup that I worked at when I emigrated to the U.S ended up investing in my company 4 years later.

Yeah, I also puzzled why somebody would intentionally post "I don't know" for the world to see until I realized that was happening and I just have amazon's stupid emails turned off. What a spammy thing to bother their users with.

If you send that message to random people's inbox as if it's personally addressing them, you're going to get mostly noise in return. Really dumb. And they've seen how it works thus far yet they don't change it.

Some years ago I attended a talk series about fundraising, and there were a lot of interesting topics covered, like financing types, valuations, how to handle meetings, how to negotiate, etc. When it came time for questions, I asked what probably sounded like an absolutely stupid question: "this has all been great advice, but how do I actually meet an investor in the first place?" The answer? "Use your network".

Coming from an engineering background, I really had no idea that fundraising required networking. I naively thought fundraising would be more like working with a bank. Like you walk into a clearly marked building and set an appointment, to get your arbitrary company funded. In reality, there are all these different VC types that fund different company types and stages, finding who VCs are is tricky (Crunchbase is your friend), and VC websites often don't have contact info (of course it would be useless anyway; you have to use your network). It's like a whole secret society nobody knows about.

After some years, I have a larger network, and can get meetings with most VCs. But holy moly that was not intuitive at all.

Wow, gross. I hate push abuse. This is another reason why I have a strict policy that if an app works in a web browser, it should stay in a web browser. It only wants out of that web browser so it can get its greasy little fingers all over your stuff.

I especially hate services that intentionally break their mobile site and disallow forcing the desktop site to make you to install their greasy, slimy mobile app. Like Facebook and Reddit. So scummy.
Don't worry. They'll still get calls from plenty of people who aren't sure what they're looking for, don't have any manners, or are hard to hear on their speaker/car phones.

Related to this, I recently found the option that controls whether the system from recommends or corrects to offensive words. It's buried under:

Settings > System > Languages & input > Virtual Keyboard > Gboard (more than likely for most) > Text correction > Block offensive words.

The same option exists for Google voice input. Wonder if there's something similar for your issue.

Yeah, I meant "foot centimeters" - the issue isn't about metric vs. imperial, I'm just writing from European experience. The issue is about "foot" vs "last" vs "shoe numbers".

I'm not fully convinced by the argument that manufacturers (or at least distributors) can't use foot centimeters - after all, somehow I can successfully buy shoes on-line by measuring my foot and then using vendor-provided foot-length-to-shoe-size conversion scale to pick appropriate size. From the experience of myself and everyone else I asked around, this works reliably.
So how do your friends suggest that they store the hundreds or thousands of ticks per season that your average farmer or outdoorsman might pull off themselves?

I guess we'll need some sort of rolling catalog system, labels for the dates etc. Perhaps a dedicated lab freezer with specimen vials would do the trick. Of course, if there are ever any symptoms, we'll have to have hundreds of ticks checked. I wonder what that costs? Would your insurance cover the testing of 275 tiny ticks? Or maybe we need a database system to take photos of the bite area, then we can bar code the offending tick and upload the photo to the system.

Re: Fallout 2, I never played it, started at Fallout 3, but one thing Ive observed playing Fallout 3, New Vegas, 4, Oblivion and Skyrim, Bethesdas quality sucks. They may be good at creating a good rpg world and story, but the stability and quality of the underlying software sucks. From the crashes (which made New Vegas nearly unplayable at launch) to the stupidity of the AI followers (I need your help-wait where are you? Did I accidentally kill you?

> This was always using Google's proprietary data, even in the G1 days. They split it out into Play Services, so Chinese phones using another provider would be possible.

Incorrect, in the past your apps could access the raw data and feed it into Mozilla’s Geolocation APIs. This is not possible anymore (but returning in limited form with 9.0).

> Background notifications weren't even possible on the G1 when it launched. When background notifications were first made available, they used a Google service and were never part of AOSP for that reason. Chinese phones use other push services inside the firewall.

Incorrect. Until Android 7.0, apps could run in background and open their own sockets for background notifications.

> None of those existed on the G1 and are simply sensor fusion implementations on the open sensor APIs.

Incorrect – the open sensor APIs are only available for foreground apps. You can not collect any stepcounter data unless your app is constantly showing a notification in foreground, or is using the Google Fit APIs.

> Yes, you can. https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/opengl

Not on any devices, you’ll need to load bindings through Google Play Services.

I seriously suggest you actually go and try to build apps for non-Google Play devices at least a single fricken time, or try to build ROMs, before you comment. You’re just making a fool out of yourself.

Many of which are barely mutually compatible yet also call themselves or are commonly referred to as versions or flavours of ‘the Linux operating system’. My greatest wish for Linux is that the term is only used to refer to the kernel architecture and ‘distros’ be consistently referred to as Operating Systems.
I dislike the idea of an electronic device to change its interaction patterns in non-deterministic ways.
Not to start the whole "I hate Electron" thing again (that conversation has been had -- err over-had ;-) ), but I think it's relevant to both Eshell and DomTerm (such as I understand it): I don't want an interface running in such a massive infrastructure. I use Emacs as my daily editor these days and I still don't want Eshell (I don't want to have Emacs up all the time).

But I think the arguments ring true none-the-less. Our ancient terminals are awful. Colours are basically a hack upon hack. You can't rely on getting text effects working properly. Throwing tmux/screen into the works is almost necessary and as much as I like tmux the complication at the interface between the terminal and tmux is insane. How many times have you used vim or emacs in tmux in a terminal and found that somehow the terminal settings aren't getting through properly? I'm practically an expert in that stuff now (through long hard experience) and sometimes I still run into problems that leave me scratching my head.

We're ripe for something new... but I don't think an application of that kind of girth is going to cut the mustard. Again, I'm super happy that people are tackling this problem and if it works for you, then more power to you. But I think that I'm probably pretty representative of the kind of person that lives in a terminal. I can't see that kind of thing getting popular.

What would be awesome, though, is the generation of a new set of standards. We need "terminal mark 2" that has these kinds of abilities and we need standards that will allow interoperability towards applications running in these terminals. For example, as much as the article asks if we need terminal capabilities like ncurses -- I think we do. But we also need capabilities like being able to spawn panes in a tmux pager (just like a window manager). We need proper history navigation, cut and paste (across and ssh session!), etc, etc. These things need to be environment agnostic so that we can build an ecosystem of tools that will become popular. If people want to live in Emacs, or in Electron, then great. If not, then there are potential options.

I know it's a completely half formed argument, but I hope it resonates with some people :-)

> There is a cost to this, of course - the citizenry is required to have a level of sophistication and erudition and they will be forced to make nuanced and complicated judgements about the state of their world.

If we take a book from the 80s titled "How to Win at Chess" and try to update it for the 2010s, we have three choices:

1. Add the caveat: "Don't ever play against a computer."

2. Add an enormous chapter about how to use computers to play computer-aided chess which, if serious, would probably double the size of the book.

3. Assume that people smarter and more dedicated than the reader devote entire careers to making sure humans can play chess in an environment where it is difficult to cheat by using a computer.

In laymen's terms: sophistication and erudition just won't cut it. You have three choices:

1. give people a well-lit place to read news that cannot be attacked through the internet.

2. at least double the amount of education people need in order for them to make judgments in a digital world.

3. Assume this is a problem that dedicated career people must solve to keep the population from being trivially manipulated in 100 different ways by 100 different actors when they attempt to read the news.

Which are you advocating here?
Unless you bite them down to a nub, all you need is a normal, close trimmed fingernail.

Ridiculously terrible and potentially dangerous to remove a tick with your fingernail? I scoff at the ignorance. The great majority of ticks will be unknowingly scratched off before you even notice you have one dug in. So I guess you could use special tools to remove those last 10% that you happened to notice before scratching them off.

Thanks for the recommendation. A more thorough investigation of Chinese history, philosophy, and literature is on my list of long term reading goals. From what I understand already, we have lost a large amount of literature from the same period as Laozi, but we have surviving later commentaries on that literature and on the Daodejing (which give some context).
I agree with your point regardless but just a side note that New Vegas was actually dev'd by Obsidian and not Bethesda Game Studios like the rest of your examples.
On the original gnu.org machine I had a little trampoline program in /etc/passwd that simply launched emacs as my shell -- my init file looked for argv[0] of -emacs (that's how login indicates a top level program) and didn't allow exit without checking first (as that would have logged me out).

Until we had window systems this really was quite practical.
It's CoreOS (now called containerLinux) so they probably figure the end user will install containers instead of rpm packages. I haven't added anything to the base containerLinux image while using it, which is probably as intended.
