Hello Mikko,
I do believe the good guys will win one day. However, I am a firm believer that our economic platforms are what drives greed and are what needs to be changed. Currently, in a Capitalistic, Socialistic, or Sharing Economy companies compete to see who can create the cheapest product while selling it at the highest price. However, an interesting process begins after products are made free. Because if we're both distributing free products the next logical step is to offer more value than free. The moment that happens we are now trying to do more for our customer, society, and the environment. I'm sure this sounds crazy, but companies can earn greater profits offering goods and services for free while earning their revenue from other sources. My partners and I will be doing just that as we start with free water that pays you to drink it. But, the water will be more than free because half of our profits will be shared with our members, advertisers and charity. But,the most beautiful part comes next because our future competition will have to offer free water plus 51% profit-sharing. So, if you are concerned about corruption lead by example and begin to create profitable products that you can distribute to your customers for free!
Best Regards,
Josh Cliffords
On games this can be quite expensive in terms of frames per second and smoothness because of how it interacts with the monitors refresh rate. If the next buffer isn’t quite ready in 1/60th of a second for the start of the monitors refresh then you basically have to sit there doing nothing until the monitor is ready for you again. Now the user sees the same image for two frames then a jump and your frames per second has fallen off a cliff. You can try to mitigate that with triple buffering but that’s starting to take a lot of memory up now that you want to use for other things.

AMD has this standard for interacting with the monitor refresh now called FreeSync. Now the game can communicate with the monitor to tell it when the buffer’s ready, to get around the problems caused by a fixed 60hz refresh. A lot of ‘gaming’ branded screens are supporting it now.
This is how well thought out products look like.

- Really simple and intuitive start. I created my first mashup within first 2 minutes and at all times knew exactly what I was doing

- Inbuilt virality. People will show off their produced mixes to their friends and on social media.

- Actually solves a pain point. How many of us have tried mixing songs and gave up? This gives a sense of creativity while taking care of all the complexity.

Even though I don't know how they'll monetize this, it seems a really well thought out product.
The problem with your comparison is that IT took tens of years of investment before it produced anything truly useful. It is very hard to imagine that research being funded for years and years without financial return by anything other than a state-level actor. And in most capitalist democracies, especially in the US, the only politically-viable way for the state to massively invest in an endeavor is to do so through military spending, which is what happened with IT.
Doesn't it just tunnel everything on one interface? In my tests, using a minimal config, ipv6 is tunneled just fine without extra consideration.

The only thing I have added is a kill switch that blocks internet access if the WG interface goes down.
So the control program is just "wg". We only have one namespace for commands so using a two-letter combination for something as obscure as controlling VPNs is not very clever. Two-letter combinations should be left to user aliases and core things like cp, ls, df.
This reminds me of the phrase: "If everything is urgent, nothing is urgent".

Therefore, if everyone is burning out, no one is really burning out or, we somehow extended the definition of burnout to something that can be applied to even the most minute set of complaints.

The server can set headers that forbid that... Maybe you can get around that block like this?

I've generally just gone with Firefox if I stumbled upon that error, as it ignore the header.
This is cool, and I agree that English urgently needs a better script. However, design goal #3 (distinct from the Latin alphabet) makes it clear that this is just a toy, or a proof of concept if you may. If you consciously design a script to be as alien as possible to the target audience (English speakers), then you simply don't want adoption.

I'm no expert, and I bet this has been explored, but I always felt that there's fantastic precedent in the world for using the Latin alphabet for writing sounds that occur in English; especially in the Scandinavian languages.

Eg the word "sauce", which consists of two identical consonants and a single vowel. Why not choose å for that vowel? Sås makes a lot of sense, and accidentally is also the Swedish word for "sauce" iirc. Or what about the two "th" sounds? Icelandic has got you covered: Instead of "this" and "thin", can't we write "ðis" and "þin"?

Note: this is not without precedent. The Norwegians totally overhauled their script until it was pretty much phonetic. This gave them fantastic benefits such as way fewer pupils struggling with dyslexia (at least, until learning Danish or English), and heartwarmingly lovely spellings of loan words such as "restaurang" and "stasjon".

It could be done.

Personally I think it's totally insane to use a phonetic script (as opposed to eg Chinese) but then not spell out the sounds. The Finns, Norwegians, Italians and Russians (and plenty others) got it right.
I think this is a pretty rose-tinted look with hindsight bias. The USSR was pretty driven to be "the best" right up to their demise. North Korea existed for half a century because China intervened in the Korean War and MacArthur's warmongering got him ousted, not nuclear deterrence. Finally, the idea of a "city-wiping bomb the size of a suitcase" was well understood by all nations with advanced physicists, not just the US: so the Nazi regime was also very close to having a completed nuclear bomb.
"No?"
Except there is no common specification, and there's not going to be one either because "standards are for loosers". No meaningful standard has been developed in this decade. It's almost as if the situation with two or more super-stable, compatible POSIX O/Ss, compiler suites, databases, etc. we had was too good to be true.

I am a kernel developer working on IncludeOS. Take everything I say with a grain of salt as this is just my thoughts at 9 in the morning in written form.

1. I can build a bootable binary without the full TCP and UDP, shaving off 60% of the whole IP stack.
LTO removes a large amount of code as well. It makes all the difference.

2. Performance comes from building a fixed binary (all memory addresses are constant), as well as using LTO and C++.
IncludeOS is not at its most performant because we haven't been working on performance. Project is still young. We should be faster overall compared to just about anything that isn't compiling to a fixed binary layout.

3. Isolation can come in many forms. On traditional hypervisors you have the same old same old. While on a newer type of hypervisor you can do just about anything from avoiding VMEXITs altogether to removing the ability to even talk to the hypervisor after configuration stage.
If the hypervisor is just a thin configuration program...

4. Yes doubly so if your OS uses threads as well, and the schedulers are almost always beating differently on the hypervisor and the guest. This causes even more trashing than normal. In any case, IncludeOS is not using threads at all. It is fully async and matches the hardware really well. The bottleneck is the multiplexing ability of the cloud platform itself. We can live with that.

5. I don't know much about containers other than that I avoid them. Containers share kernel. Sorry, I can't answer this.
I develop a very complex, 500K+ LoC Java application. It implements a natural language sentence parser that is integrated with a specialized lossless data compressor. I use:

- No IDE, just a simple text editor

- No ORM, hand-written SQL code

- My build tool is a Python script that marshals a javac call

- I have just a few JAR file dependencies, which are checked into the repo

- My own simple unit test and integration test framework

For me, Java Just Works. It's literally been years since I've encountered a problem with the actual language. Yeah, there can be a lot of boilerplate. Yeah, there are some issues with complex type manipulation. But those limitations almost never cause me any real pain.
Someone benchmark this compared to raw udp, and then to OpenVPN TCP.

To go in completely the opposite direction, Ithkuil (ithkuil.net) is a constructed language whose script encodes semantic meaning rather than phonetic. A written word may be pronounced in several qualitatively different ways, as long as they have the same meaning.
I agree so much with your latest paragraph. I'm currently working on a software that helps telcos decide the placement and configuration of mobile network cells and antennas, and it's like you said: it's actually a very interesting and deep problem, the pay is good, and since the users are engineers, it doesn't matter that the UI is just average looking as long as it does what the application manual says. The application is huge but reasonably maintainable.

I worked for about two years and a half in web development, and in one case the application was widely, widely used. Everything was on fire and users complained constantly. Saying that I don't miss it would be a big understatement.
Organized criminal activity in any country is a function of migration patterns and poor economic opportunity/integration. Inevitably this always happens and it doesn't matter what ethnic/religious group or what country they move to.

> our physiology requires us to eat them just as they must eat each other.

This not true as you pointed out yourself.

Not human physiology but a certain environment requires humans to eat meat because there is nothing better available.

In all societies except the most retarded, a vegan diet with supplements (notably vitamin B12) is the cheapest and healthiest diet.

Yes, build for userspace linux and run it as a normal program. Then use all your favorite tools. You can also attach GDB to a qemu process that is waiting for a connection (abit harder). In a production environment on a public cloud it gets even harder. For that I can only recommend UBsan (undefined-sanitizer), logging and memory dumps.
Do dogs, cows, whales, sheep, pigs, etc. etc. have emotions and internal lives that matter, at least to them?

This is another one of those things we don’t need yet another PhD, and yet another tomb of books, and yet more decades and centuries, to discuss and probe.

One has only to watch these animals for five minute to see the answer is clearly yes.

It would seem to me the only reason I don’t eat dogs and whales and dolphins is purely my cultural upbringing.

But, in my opinion, all of this is irrelevant. We don’t need to feel for these creatures.

Rather, what we need to do, en mass, is realise the jury is in: for our own health, and the overall sustainability of human life: we ought significantly reduce our meat consumption.
Arbitration should just be banned in contracts of adhesion, where one party dictates the terms and the other party cannot edit or change them. Sure, if you're writing a real contract, where both sides are negotiating terms, arbitration can be something the weaker party can agree to in return for some other concession. It doesn't make sense in one-sided contracts.
>My argument for a long time was that animals have no ego

I think the problem with a train of thought like this one is that it assume there are certain fixed properties that makes a human "special". That is perhaps not so considering how we build abstractions on base instincts[1]

> So apparently whales are off the table, but cows are fine?

I hate how people do this for dogs and not pigs either, literally makes no sense how morals are peddled sometimes

The word 'drugs' is a stretch. Its mainly just marihuana ('just' as for me that's normal as I am Dutch and it is decriminalised here though I myself don't use it). Harddrugs are not acceptable. This sign makes that more than clear in Danish and English [1].

To put that in perspective (I already mentioned marihuana decriminalisation in The Netherlands):

1) Danes go to Sweden to buy cheap liquor because alcoholic beverages in Denmark are more expensive than in Sweden (EDIT: I stand corrected, the other way around, thank you @clan). Same with Danes living near the German border. Alcohol, if abused, is a harddrug.

2) Going down more south of Europe is Portugal who have decriminalised drugs [2].

It seems odd to me that so many questions are answered by referring one to a video. For me at least this simply means that I won't ever know the answer because video is a very inefficient way of presenting simple information and I don't feel inclined to use the time.

Pretty interesting. I used to be heavily into the mashup scene, even going so far as to make mashup.fm (another turntable/plug.dj clone). Here's some of my favorite classical mashups alongside the rave.dj version:

Thomas the Tank Engine vs Biggie Smalls

Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETfiUYij5UE

Rave.dj: https://rave.dj/XUBqv8IsZPVZMQ

This was the easiest as it's just a vocal track laid onto a beat, but it really jumps the tracks around a ton, seemingly randomly. It at least doesn't jump mid-measure though and fits with the beat.

------------------------------------

Modest Mouth (Modest Mouse vs Smashmouth)

Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEmJH7JsKgM

Rave.dj: https://rave.dj/gUb_lU_PrHBdKA

The Neil C original is a classic, and really fits two songs together that don't belong near each other. Rave plays the intros in sequential order, with vocals overlapping all over. They really need a central channel filter to see if they can pop the vocals out from the instrumentals. This is really a tuesday-surprise lunchroom casserole of a mashup, with a rather abrupt ending.

------------------------------------

Korn vs Taylor Swift

Original: https://soundcloud.com/user-490703809/we-are-coming-undone-k...

Rave.dj: https://rave.dj/usdGtcmoNJeItg

This one really works because of some of the more complex editing on Isosine's part. The rave one is a disaster. Feels like you're standing in between two parties that are blasting two jams, that just happened to have their drops/choruses line up.

------------------------------------

Kanye West vs The Beatles

Original: http://mashup.fm/media/Hey_Jude_We_Major_More_Popular_than_J...

Rave.dj: https://rave.dj/ZcRpPLK6QZEvZA

This is a personal favorite, and I think it works because of how long the Hey Jude intro is. It really means you forget about Kanye completely until he jumps in. It works because of how slow of a buildup Hey Jude is. The Rave version has no nuance here. They speed up Hey Jude, up-pitching it in the process and making it sound like Raffi or some other child entertainer. They down pitch Kanye, making him seem like some gangsta thug. It really doesn't work at all.

------------------------------------

I really want this to become better, but I feel like it needs to be trained more tricks (vocal separation for one) to really be worth it. Also minor QOL improvement would be to allow you to preview tracks before you add them to the mix. Hard to find one that's a good audio only rip of a song sometimes.

Interestingly, some people have argued that they did lack our depth. [1]

Personally I don't think it's relevant to this discussion. Saying that consciousness is more complex than "you either have it or you don't" seems like a trivial observation.

Peter Singer argues [2] that "the fundamental interest that entitles a being to equal consideration is the capacity for suffering and/or enjoyment or happiness" (and that this applies to any being, human or not). I think that this is a much more interesting approach. Yes, this makes things more complex ("where do you draw the line") but it also seems more honest.

A friend in college had a pet chicken. I was surprised by how intelligent this seemingly stupid bird could be. It would follow commands, recognize me, and even play with me.

That's for a chicken. You only have to spend 5 minutes with a dog or a cow to see how smart they can be.
Virtual PC was a great piece of software back then in 2003-2006.

You just installed a Virtual PC app. After that, you could install and run nearly any x86 OS right in that app. No hypervisor or SLAT tweaks were required; it all worked literally on any host x86 CPU you can imagine.

Fast forward a few years and Virtual PC was killed off in favor of a new Hyper-V technology from Microsoft. To be precise, Virtual PC was just rebadged as Hyper-V, plus it took some amount of changes.

You immediately felt a substantial difference: instead of an app that always works everywhere, you've got an OS component that should be installed with a lot of ceremony and tricks. Hyper-V was also very picky on CPUs it could run on: it wanted some obscure features (like SLAT) that only the newest and more pricey CPUs could provide at that time. It also had miserable performance when it came to graphics and mouse interactions. A big and disappointing departure from a Virtual PC tiny app that could do it all on every CPU you had at hand.

To be exact, the only thing sold there is hash, though the article insists on using the blanket term "drugs". The reason it's sold there is that the commune has decided that it's unfair to label hash as a drug (unless nicotine or alcohol are also labelled as drugs, which they are in a sense of course).
