It was quite explicit - one of 6 explicit omissions, IIRC (it was a ~decade ago) in addition to the more general "Act of God" category. I don't recall all of the other explicit ones, but I believe a nuclear reactor accident was another of them. I was reading to look for flooding, which WAS covered.

> an overreach of FCC authority endanger humanity?

One, it isn't overreach. Certifying and registering satellites is the FCC's legal duty. The threat comes from untracked satellites becoming untracked orbital debris. This is the same reason we register flight paths.

> something that FCC doesn't do and doesn't have any insight into assessing

The international organization that deals with orbital registration and regulation is the ITU [1]. The FCC is charge with managing our interactions with the ITU because, historically, all satellites were communications satellites. The FAA clears launches (not satellites). (Air Force supervises launches. USSPACECOM hasn't really existed since it was merged into USSTRATCOM in 2002.)

"When applied to humans, this model is ludicrously implausible. While it is true that some males have trouble finding a mate, the idea that some huge percentage of males are simply not desirable enough (as we shall see, the paper requires this percentage to be over 50) to have a chance of reproducing bears no relation to the world as we know it."

It's not ludicrous at all. The world "as we know it" is not the world Homo Sapiens evolved in. There is some evidence of much harsher selection bias a few millennia ago:

Note: I am responding to comments here, haven't read the article yet.

Utopia is not possible because the desires and wants of millions of people (focusing on a country) don't overlap with everyone else's 100%, or sometimes not at all. We also don't live long enough to truly appreciate what we have today, as I'm sure people from hundreds of years ago would think today's society is a utopia: (basically) infinite potable cold and hot water, heat and air conditioning, electricity, sewage removal, relative privacy, trash removal, modern medicine, fast, cheap transportation, a wide variety of fresh food all year round, internet... I could go on.

So maybe utopia is genuine appreciation on a personal level for what one has. You can't do this without contrast, and contrast is best developed from real experiences. Maybe one could spend a couple weeks out in the woods with canned food and a stream for water (and no electronics except a flashlight), and come back with a new found understanding for the amount of convenience and comfort one has in this modern life.
Basically, keep striving until you are satisfied.

> Complexity seems to beget more complexity.

it's funny, I see it a lot in software too, people who "write a script to manage/hide/tame complexity". Cool, a new layer to go through when something doesn't work well.

On the general issue, it's pervasive at private companies too, where an important problem leads hiring ("this new person will be responsible that it doesn't happen again") and procedures centered around it whatever the cost. Then those companies round up and create a standard around it, and compliance jobs, etc.
On the contrary, this phenomenon seems pretty isolated to nerds/tech-interested-people. Are there any areas outside of technology where you have seen something presented in a similarly childish way?

It's certainly not limited to Facebook. Uber, Lyft, AirBnB, Theranos (to a lesser extent), and countless other companies are operating with a mindset of "ignore the regulations, break the law, society will catch up." Regardless of whether or not you agree with the regulations being broken, they are largely in place for a reason. Sometimes it's a good reason, sometimes it's not. The penalties are rarely enough to deter people chasing a profit.

Let's stop treating "the rules don't apply to me" like an innovative business idea, and call it what it is: behaving like a child.

These are some beautiful images. I am relieved to see this article is about a person and not an algorithm. I wish I knew what quality it is about these that are more appealing. I think it is the abstract nature of it. Some look like flowers, some like 80s pop art, some reminiscent of Dali. The images remind me of specific human shared experiences without having to reproduce an dog eyeball in the middle. Human Generative (algorithms + design) vs AI Generative (algorithms only). Maybe I am biased for team human and if someone told me these images were created by a neural network I would be more critical. Although I don't think these could be created by a NN. Certainly not picking different themes for each set.

Even if you can't go to a university, they remain great ways to learn software engineering. For example, https://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm has useful classes.

Personally I think they just went overboard with it (to the point of being distracting), but I get what they're trying to do and appreciate the effort - even if it's not for me. Kudos I say. Others might find it useful. Plus it could inspire someone else to explore another approach.
Dystopia's are often a form of Utopia. Thomas More's original Utopia is not necessary a perfect society, but a designed society. I would classify BNW as a Utopia even though it is a cautionary tale.
A major problem with this is that non-expert users might interpret it to mean that the "green lock" always means everything is ok. That is dangerous advice since it's possible to publish a phishing site having proper SSL. Users need more context than what is offered here to avoid becoming victims of phishing scams.

I also found the content itself difficult to read in both layout and copy. The character names were confusing, and I don't think the three concepts of privacy, integrity, and identity were conveyed in a clear enough sense so that a non-expert could interpret how those are actually 3 different things.

Mercury rectifiers are beautiful. I once built a vacuum tube audio amplifier with directly heated triodes and mercury rectifiers, aiming for a symmetrical orange-blue-blue-orange glow.

A small country won’t be able to launch a satellite or to afford it.

There are 12 countries capable of launching satellites and technically it’s more like 10 since Iran and North Korea can’t launch anything substantial just yet.

And those two which are the closest thing you can have to a space launch capable “rogue” nation have the most interest to actually behave since they are essentially launching a ballistic missile with a small payload and if they do it without notice well some countries in their vicinity might not wait long enough to find out what it is.

>Utopia is about letting people live in a manner that they would want, not in the manner, currently, prescribed by the law.

This is so unrealistic. If the manner I want to live is hunting and killing other people for sport, but the only thing restraining me right now is the law (such an inconvenient thing is the law), then most people would say laws are preferable to utopia. Even with laws people do crazy hurtful things, I can't even imagine what things would be like if there were not laws and the threat of punishment.

That's a good explanation for why there are so many SSGs on Github but it doesn't explain why there are so many in use.

I certainly wish you good luck but I suspect that you are missing something if you think you're going to compete with national providers who have access to billions in capex and infinite marketing budget, selling a product where almost no customer understands the fine details of QoS and customer service (which are the only ways in which you can differentiate your offering).

fwiw we have dedicated fiber loop (not ftth) providers here (middle of nowhere, USA) who will deliver service for $600/mo with low or zero install charge so I question your $3k/mo figure.

> Exactly. Facebook isn't dramatically different than your local pub, church, Elks lodge, knitting club, or any other self-selected social group. Singling them out and treating it like a new problem gives too much credence to the notion that it's a new thing.

No. Facebook (and web echo chambers in general) are dramatically different. Because the available online population is so much larger than a physical community, narrower and louder echo chambers are possible. Back in the offline days echo chambers were more self-limited and internally more diverse, because the smaller pool of possible members meant too much exclusion would make the group too small to be sustainable. Now, every crazy fringe idea can have a Facebook group of 500 active members egging each other on, and use targeted ads to easily suck in every susceptible person.

So basically since the vast majority of technology products are produced outside of Australia while one can imagine them forcing them to only sell hardware products with broken security just for australia however.

- The population of australia is only 24 million less than 1/10th of the US and this would require expensive engineering just to sell to this market.

- Caving to Australia makes this look like an attractive option to other more lucrative markets.

- Some people would just import their own phones from overseas

- Software products are unlikely to desire to compromise their networks/products for Australia and its 1000x easier to import software than hardware.

The best strategy would seem to be ignore Australia.

>In this way, the creation of an Earth ecosystem without microbial diseases might be possible.

No. This is wrong on two fronts. First, there would be new diseases which are of the opposite chirality, obviously. There is no such thing as a real objective definition of 'disease'. There are only patterns which successfully reproduce themselves and those which do not. But whatever sort of environment constructed will essentially create its own diseases, which will infect and interfere with what we intend to create. Successful systems breed parasites. That's a truism in microbiology.

Secondly, a microbe-free world would kill us. There are more bacterial cells in our body than there are cells with our own DNA. Our understanding of the importance of our microbiology to our lives is pretty meager, but it's enough to know that 'clean room' living would be nightmarish in the best case, but more likely just lethal. And if your intent is to only allow in the 'good' bacteria and viruses and funguses... that line doesn't really exist. Biology is too messy to enable those sorts of distinctions, really.

Creating a 'mirror life' world might be pretty neat, but I don't think the benefit would be from eliminating microbial interference in our precious bodily fluids.
