The issue is when you say “almost” unrestricted free speech. Someone’s going to have to make the call what the line is. In the US, that’s already been decided thankfully (imminent harm, not “harrasment”). France, I think, will end up walking this back depending on the political repercussions.

It’s enjoyable to get other perspectives, but at the end of they day, I support candidates and judicial nominees who maintain rights as freedoms as unrestricted as possible (speech, firearms ownership, etc). Because you never know who is going to be in power next, and how they will weaponize the exceptions to fundamental rights.

There is a cost to a free and democratic society.
Sure, among other things, it lets you reify generics by adding them as args in the type descriptor.
There's no linguistic problem, assuming that (i) definite descriptions are quantificational and (ii) the relevant quantifier can scope under negation. "It cannot find the best pattern" means "It is not the case that it can find a pattern x such that no other pattern y is better than x".
Mac keychain shits the bed on my randomly... never know why, but it happens and i hear people at work grumbling about it too so i don't put much faith into it.
By that logic no browser should include the developer tools either.
>That doesn't make any difference. The article claims that animistic beliefs are absent from Greek thought. The OP quotes four examples that very clearly say they are instead embraced by the most prominent Greek philosophers, like, ever.

This is needlessly nitpicky. While there is animism in Greek thought, it quickly faded in the West and has been irrelevant for most of the last say, 1500 years.

So while you can probably get into a long scholastic discussion about animism in Greek antiquity, it is accurate enough to say that modern Western thought (especially in the context of industrialisation and robotization) has lived with a mindset that is distinctly non-animist.

This eradication of animism never happened in many Asian societies, so the authors point stands.
I feel the need to say that (spoiler warning) everyone who watched Neon Genesis Evangelion knows that Evas are, in fact, not robots.
> the average user was never able to make any sense of it.

By that metric, Bitcoin is also dead.

There are multiple for-profit RSS reader services. I follow a really unreasonable number of webcomics, and I've seen one, ever, that didn't have an RSS feed. "Niche audience" is not the same as "dead".

(I've honestly never understood why people find RSS so confusing. You sign up to Feedly or whatever, and you choose creators you want to follow. It's not dramatically different than getting started on Twitter.)
Open it in any decent plaintext editor/viewer, it'll likely have support for 'prettyprinting' json, and it'll be readable.

If you want to 'do stuff' with the data, then JSON is a very (IMHO most, but your mileage may vary) reasonable format; unless that data really is just a single flat table, it would be hard to blame them from picking this format.
I really wanted to like this but the site is totally unusable. Damn shame.
The sorry state of UIs is more of a marketing thing than a computer science failure. There is a trade-off between gloss and performance. Gloss is the easier sell. Let a little of the web doodaddery in, and users will not let up until you bring the rest of it. At that point, we just took the long trip back to Electron.

Also, learning from terminals to make better UIs--especially if the big selling points are speed and composability--is developer Stockholm syndrome. The speed is only there because the user-facing I/O is very limited, and rich media is out-of-the-picture. The composability is only there because we have 40+ years of command flags to format and reparse every single ad-hoc format into something the next command can understand. Interfaces like Jupyter and Mathematica did a decent job integrating rich media. Symbolics Genera--and probably a few other language-machines--had a better story on composability (by having a common structured data format).

Amen to "We should stop babying our users" though. Engelbart called that one from the outset--with something to the effect that if we're going to be using these things all our productive lives, most learning curves are going to be worth it--as long as the feature isn't garbage.
Speaking of Japan's capital, this made me excited that someone might finally do something toward investing in US infrastructure (the headline was slightly walked back later, saying there were no concrete plans just yet):

"Japan weighs sovereign wealth fund for U.S infrastructure investment"

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trade-japan/japan-wei...

If the US were smart about it, it would offer to go an easy route in resolving any trade issues with Japan. Part of the deal would be Japan working with the US to put together a $250 billion fund over time specifically to do high speed rail across the US. The Japanese are arguably the masters at that, their companies would benefit (and they'd earn a return on their deployed capital), and US would get some employment and know-how out of it (and obviously the transport system). Japan can borrow at great scale domestically at among the lowest rates of any nation. A big win all around.
> "Users shouldn't have needed to know the name."

How would they communicate with each other about it then? These things don't expand in a vacuum. Perhaps not in a modern social media sense, but there is always a network effect.

Calling it RSS was too plain and too clinical.
Wow. Very sad.

But it’s important to remember that SSH is a lot less fucked overall than the VPN situation was. People mostly grok SSH. SSH mostly doesn’t negotiate BF-CBC.
If the extension APIs allowed it I'd agree with that, but developer tools need much deeper access than extensions provide.
Not to mention the Greek influence on Buddhism and vice versa. They were entirely isolated from each other.
Definitely a gem. Here's a bit on Kapor founding the EFF, while law enforcement compares hackers to rapists:

Lotus founder Mitch Kapor and several industry colleagues have formed an organization they say will fight to ensure the Bill of Rights covers computer-based communication and electronic information. The purpose of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (California, MA), is to combat violations of civil liberties, Kapor says, as well as educate government policymakers, law enforcement agencies, and the public about computers.

The EFF has taken heat from some members of the industry because they see it as simply a "hacker defense fund," and some law enforcement officials are not necessarily in favor of it. "It's as if NOW started a foundation to come to the assistance of [people charged in] rape cases," says Don Ingraham, chief of the high-tech crime team and an assistant district attorney for Alameda County in northern California. "We don't know what to think of it." He says he doesn't under­stand why the computer industry would defend people trying to break into their systems.
> This project is meant to remind politicians, bureaucrats, and busy-bodies everywhere that attempting to restrict distribution of code is both pragmatically preposterous and a violation of free speech.

It's not code. It's data. And we already have tremendous amounts of precedent for restricting the distribution of data considered verboten. The simplest example would be CP (which, heck, is already images).
I mean, the building they use for the picture of the Alamo was built in 1744. So the whole thing's a confusing mess.
> Would I be right in thinking that the revenue from this is not particularly high?

Boy, would you!

> Not all bootstrapped businesses are equal. The OP described challenges of a successful bootstrapped business - even that is psychologically hard. But it's even harder if the business doesn't work, or only sort-of works.

And I think my first and most fundamental failure as a "businessperson" is a failure to recognize what works and what doesn't. Everyone I come into professional contact with is extra stoked about what we do. Everyone is complimentary, everyone is glad we exist. Very few people are willing to pay us. In the end, that means I've done my job wrong.
Dogecoin seems to have a great use case due to its cheap price: bringing money in and out of exchanges.

Also, it tends to be very stable against Bitcoin because it priced in Satoshis, and there is only so much rounding up you can do with low amounts.

I do not think Dogecoin was intended for that use, but I see much worse in their list.
This is good advice but ignores moderate to severe social anxiety, depression, and many things in between. You're totally right that the worst case here is that you lose a few hours and maybe meet people you don't click with, but there's something in the mind of a lot of people that paralyzes them, or rationalizes staying in.

It's not so much 30 minutes of feeling motivated or energized, it's 30 minutes of something else entirely, that you can't really psych yourself back into in much the same way that you can't "snap out of" a depressed state.
We have this in northern Virginia on 66 going into the city. We’ve had tolls as high as $50 on some days, but usually it tops out below $20. It does seem to have helped congestion.

For people who can’t afford the toll, it’s free if you have a second rider in the car.
Not really. Most dependencies get RCE one way or another, just not necessarily at installation.
There's a documentary: The Science of Fasting ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1b08X-GvRs) which talks about fascinating effects of fasting therapy, and interesting effects of fasting on cancer treatment. Looks like it's inline with what's discussed here and in the comment section. On the flip side, I feel like fasting has the potential of becoming the new "meditation", but with more potential danger than just an over-hyped hip practice.

> The web is WAY more accessible to non-english-speaking people, people with physical differences, and people with issues focusing in the way terminals must demand you do.

A bunch of people (including Kay and Victor) have talked about this, but accessibility is only one part of the interface. Pieces of software that are productivity related should be easy to get started with and be accessible, but also allow you to become more productive. A lot of tools (like 1Password) focus on the former (accessibility to the lay user) but don't focus on the latter. This isn't some sort of unattainable ideal though: Excel and Powerpoint are great examples of tools that make it easy to just play around with as a beginner, but also to really reward power users.
Toll roads increase the value of land closer to where jobs are at the expense of land further out. Guess where the rich and powerful live (and own land) and guess where the poor and marginalised live.
this answer seems to be constructive, but, leaving a poor default behavior in a universally-deployed security tool is .. sub-optimal...
Well, if Philip Cross's alleged conflict of interest were to be examined and dealt with, ultimately it would need to be looked at by the arbitration committee. Once you understand that, other things start falling into place.

JzG changed tack because I poked them and pointed them at your story.

JzG went back to admin's noticeboard to gather further input, and people confirmed that an Arbcom case would indeed have merit.

At that point, the Arbcom case became inevitable.

Now, as an honorable human being, you can't go and start something, and then when it happens turn around and get cold feet.

I'm a bit disappointed in KalHolmann because they ran away when things Got Interesting.

I'm also disappointed in you because your stories turned out to actually not be as well researched as they seemed at first blush.

I now regret my own part in this :-/
Either way, that's fast ;)
I think this stems from a problem of companies hiring visual designers over interaction designers. They are two completely different skill sets and yet when a UX & Interaction Designer applies for a job they are required to submit visual designs as well. I have a colleague going through this process right now. They are in the final stages of the interview process and are rejected because they can't put together a visually perfect design.

The world needs more User Experience designers and yet it seems like no one is hiring them (even if they say they are).

I don’t think most users realize that their home IP may well be reversible back to a mailing address, nor that commercial IP-to-mailing address databases exist. If an end user has routinely submitted their physical address in Web forms, it’s probably in one of these databases.

For customers of Comcast and many residential broadband providers, DHCP hands out a hardcoded per-customer or per-CPE IP, not the next available address from a pool. For all intents and purposes, the DHCP-assigned address is static.

At least as of a year ago, Comcast support won’t let customers change their effectively-static “dynamic” IP.
In fact it's not hypocritical at all. Not even the least.

The parent isn't denying the mistakes or terrible things the West has done in the past.

Allow me to give you an example of why this isn't hypocritical in concept.

If I'm an obese person, it is not hypocritical to lambast other obese people for the health consequences of their physical condition - so long as I'm not denying the application of those same health consequences to my own obesity situation.

The parent comment would be hypocritical if it pretended / claimed there is no racism in Western culture, while pointing out Chinese racism or beliefs about racial superiority. (assuming the parent is part of Western culture of course)
The usage metric from FF data is a solid spot to look.

Whether random folks know the technology is irrelevant. Ask 10 random people if they know what hyper text is, and you'll get bad answers. Doesn't mean people don't use or like it.

The shame here, is that Mozilla didn't push to get stuff like their homepage driven from RSS based feeds. They didn't get people using RSS, but they also didn't seem to try.
The utility also does not warn about insecure defaults.
Right, but a web browser wants all sites to look good on them (which IS their main purpose), and including developer tools integrated into the product really helps web site developers make that happen.

RSS isn't used by people to make the main product of a browser better.
tl;dr: https://youtu.be/ZdDHi5SSIlM?t=17s
Interesting. So you would have one person with 3 business entities; one for the “mode of production” (technology assets), one for the “means of production” (revenue and monetary assets), and one for the “relations of production” (customer facing presence). Having studied a little bit of Karl Marx in school, I just can’t help but recognize the congruencies between your solution and his theory of Modes, Means, and Relations of Production. It’s quite profound in the context of high-tech modes and patents as an override for securing them. The “modes” are one of the hardest to grasp. He asserted they are the exterior elements like lifestyles, infrastructure, and processes that capitalism would depend on but not account for, and conveniently replace at will, at an accelerating rate. Orthogonality certainly sounds like the way to go if you can manage it.

Anyhow, sorry I don’t have the legal info you’re after. I wishe you luck.

Do you mean whole-world maps have Australia in the center? (I assume so, since obviously a map of only Australia would have Australia as the center...)

That's fascinating! I grew up in the US and I'm not sure I've ever used a world map with the US in the center. Curious where you got this impression. I can find some examples if I specifically search online, but they look very weird to me.

Every world map I grew up with has the US on the far left, presumably due to the convenience of splitting the map on the Pacific Ocean. The first example that came to my mind: https://i.imgur.com/FjBKD6k.jpg
Reading this reminded me of my parents sitting on their patio, complaining about the neighbor's air-conditioning unit. I wouldn't even notice the sound it was making until they said something—but for for them, being so tuned into it and having it already on their mind as 'a problem,' it was a prevalent part of their experience.

There are two regularly occurring situations times where I'm delayed by the slowness of interfaces:

1. At work, waiting for our web app to reload after I've made some changes to the source. This is actually a problem and eats up a significant amount of time and makes me lose focus.

2. I'll occasionally come across a slowly loading webpage. And I stress 'occasional' here—it's maybe once every couple of days when I open an article on HN or something and it's some site with a tons of ads and stuff. It's a non-issue—easily less than 5 minutes per week.

Aside from those delays, I basically never find myself waiting for whatever software interface I'm interacting with, and that's on a 2014 macbook pro.

We were already calling it the internet when I started college in 88 and after all, it ran on TCP/IP(the latter stands for Internet Protocol) which ARPANET adopted in 1983.

It is all about how you define 'dead'. Some people mean 'dead' as in 'not one single person is still using it' and others mean 'dead' as in 'it is declining in popularity and is no longer mainstream'

RSS is dead for the latter people but not the former.
I'm desperate to start a business. Over 20 years of working in lead software dev positions and understand the grind that occurs in almost all organizations.

The counter point to your 'horribles', is that the support level you get inside organizations doesn't match the increase expections of a team, and that on larger teams the general level of aptitude approaches average. Occasionally having to work with people who are down right bad at their job. The very effect you espoused of 'company that would...' do all these things for you draws in alot of people who see it the same, and work it like, well, a job (not a calling, or career, or personal investment).

I don't think there is anything wrong with that. A regular wage from a company making money is a good thing, but a strong part of my being believes that I could be successful doing it on my own, and do it to the point of it being art.

Different people at different times in their lives might be more or less suited to one path or another. While i sympathize with the stress you might feel running a business i think there is alot of stress in working for an employer. The people not feeling stress inside companies are people who are coasting. When you're coasting, the part of your being that manifests itself as your work ethic, and professional skill dies a little every day.
This is not a new idea, it's called congestion pricing, and it's already in use in London.

No matter what we do, a road is a limited resource. Only so many vehicles can use it per hour. We allocate that resource to those most willing to pay for it, but right now that payment doesn't take the form of money, it takes the form of time, frustration, of the amount of pain drivers are willing to endure to use the road. The trouble with this sort of payment is that it's not a transfer, it's just a loss. The time and energy these drivers use to get through the traffic jam is simply destroyed. In short: a traffic jam is a bread line. By measuring willingness to pay in dollars rather than in hours, we avoid that loss. The money collected can be used. It can be used to maintain the roads, to build transit, or simply redistributed to users in the form of tax cuts.
If it has any flavor of social media, the party has a mandate to control and monitor it unfortunately.
The solution to this problem is to upzone that land so that more people can live there. If more people wind up living close to their jobs, that's a good thing. Commutes are bad for workers and bad for society.

>Dogecoin seems to have a great use case due to its cheap price

What does the price per token have to do with anything? You can buy a fraction of a bitcoin, so I don't see how doge has any advantage over BTC here.
No. But an actual monitor was a much easier way to directly access system memory.
Yes, because of the additives that make up the “antibacterial” part. Not because of the “soap” part.
I disagree! SSH is not great! Because it doesn't need to support every browser on the Internet, new crypto percolates through the ecosystem much faster than it does in TLS. But it's still a janky protocol with dumb options, and a Noise-based no-negotiation alternative that fulfilled the same interface would indeed be super useful.
Jef Raskin's book "The Humane Interface" is basically the book-length version of this article.
True, but I think the argument being made is similar to the absurdities that exist in Australia where it is illegal to _sell_ cigarettes to people under 18 and it's illegal to _buy_ cigarettes for people under 18 but it's not illegal for people to smoke cigarettes under 18 - unsurprisingly people under 18 _do_ still manage to get their hands on cigarettes and no one asks questions at that point. Surely the purpose of the laws was to prevent people under 18 from smoking cigarettes - why not make a law for exactly that? I think the 3D printable guns issue is similar - banning the distribution of a substance but not outright banning the substance is absurd.
I'd recommend the book Designing Data Intensive Applications, by Martin Kleppmann and as for online resources, check out http://book.mixu.net/distsys/single-page.html for a throughout overview.
Seems like simply issuing a warning on key creation "this key uses a newer, safer encryption scheme but as a result might not be directly portable to older versions of openssh, if that's an issue use <someflag> to use the older, weaker scheme instead" would probably solve the problem in 99% of the cases. After a few years you might remove the warning and move on.

For this type of applications security should trump backward compatibility, especially when in this case the breakage is fairly limited and easy to work around.
