Google Arts & Culture [1] aspires to this, and does a great job to a certain extent, however not at scale or in the long tail. For their own reasons institutions have resisted mass uploads to Google - despite the theoretical marriage of CC licences and G A&C non-profit contractual agreements. Art Institute Chicago has been a partner with Google since 2012 yet today we see only ~1% of their artworks on G A&C.

Which conservative outlets would you say are similar to Quillette? I've been reading it for a while and consider it a fair bit more thoughtful than other outlets, even if it skews conservative.
Despite you being downvoted, I really liked your points. As someone whose parents came from a tiny country with which there was little to no network once arriving - I can attest to our experience of quickly integrating. I believe it was a good experience for us and a good model for the US going forward.
Claire actually mentioned on Twitter that this essay inspired her to start Quillette.
That's (almost) the same screen size as the 12.9 inch iPad Pro, no?
Yep. My 2012 Air was custom-configured with the i7 processor, 512GB SSD, and 8GB Ram. Odd indeed, but it was a killer combo of ultra-portability and performance. It’s still to this day a very capable machine. Although Apple capped off MacOS upgrades for it at High Sierra.

MacBook Pro had same Ram and storage but with the i5. Difference between the 2012 i7 and 2015 i5 in GHz was negligible as far as I was concerned.
Unfortunately you've described the majority of Wellington's buildings. Wellington is old timber houses on hills, or poorly built apartments on reclaimed land in the harbour, most of which are not up to earthquake code, and aren't required to be for another decade.

Possible? Try a standard farming technique called "intercropping". Often a single mechanical combine harvests both plants at once, with the crops separated from each other mechanically later. Other times the plants can be separated by height and harvested on subsequent passes.

I would love an H1B program where membership was set by auction (500,000 seats where the price everyone pays is the #500,000 bid, that sort of thing) instead of by "need" or a lottery or any number of other things. Even better, have the fee be annual and count towards federal income tax. No ties to employer, no requirement to work for a company, no discrimination based upon country of origin...

You could probably lump quite a few visa programs together into that, actually.
They work for Google so obviously they are much smarter than you. If theres a problem its probably the customers fault. /sarcasm

Jonestown and the like are such tragic events. I feel like it’s oddly appropriate to honor them in the same way I choose to honor the collective memory of veterans. Remebering them as a group of individuals with their own convictions rational or irrational, weak or strong, citizen or foreign. Without attempting to prescribe morals onto any of them in hubris. I honor the value of their lives spent, by blindly stumbling in a slightly less costly trajectory towards a maxima. Knowing the tools I use to give me hope in this journey—liberty and justice—were won with a terrifying cost.
I honestly don’t know if this is tongue in cheek or not (if it is: bravo!), but does your car radio not serve that purpose?

Thx for your reply! Housing is problematic in Auckland... half of the offered income would go to rent.

The wage thing is correct. Moving to NZ will cut my income by quite a bit more than 50%. But I'm fascinated with the rugged "wanting it more" vibes of NZ vs my native country. Vibes which I'm either picking correctly or just imagining. Care to comment on that?
> cryptocurrency is...something worthless

Cryptocurrencies aren't worthless though. Computationally expensive, cryptographically useful numbers are a valuable commodity. They are valuable in virtue of the computational work that they make possible, the same way that electricity or silicon are valuable in virtue of the computational work that they make possible, i.e. successfully, verifiably lengthening the blockchain.

> Fiat money is money that is in itself intrinsically valueless but that is accepted as money because the government says that it must be...require that it be accepted as money (emphasis added)

There's the part where you say it.

> The only difference from most other fiat money is that with cryptocurrency it is not a government declaring it to be money. It is a large group of people.

And there's the part where you take it back. As you started to say, declaration is a necessary but not sufficient condition for fiat; it also requires forcibly maintaining the declaration. If a large group of people have that power then they're effectively a government, making "non-government fiat currency" an oxymoron.
One heuristic settled on in "What You Can't Say" is the distinction between ideas that are dismissed for being false or absurd and ideas that are dismissed for being heretical.

If you go around saying the Holocaust didn't happen, people will tell you that you're wrong and will point to verifiable evidence in the historic record, and Holocaust denial is ten times as controversial as anything you'll read in Quillette.

I'm skeptical that we'll see another world war. Or if we do, it'll be over really quick. Because whoever ends up being enemies of China will be cut off from access to advanced electronics, which are quickly becoming more and more important in warfare.

(I'm not saying that there are no fabs anywhere outside China, but if e.g. Germany decides to start WW3, they'll have a hard time producing enough electronic components given the existing foundries in the country.)
It's unfortunate that the doers leave NZ as soon as possible to do stuff elsewhere most of the time.

SCTP is a good protocol itself, but there are lots of NAT devices/firewalls/other strange middleboxes that do not play nice with SCTP. These devices only recognize TCP and UDP, and they tend to drop everything they do not know.

This is not something very easy to fix - not as easy as fixing Cisco devices that hijack 1.1.1.1, or upgrade enterprise-grade MITM firewalls that don't know and block TLS 1.3.
Here in Washington, DC we have cameras all over the place. However, streetlights are owned by the local government, and that must apply in normal states and municipalities. So... if this happens in a given city, that means the local government must be cooperating with the feds to permit it.
Well, I was talking about jokes. I do agree that people were more careful about voicing serious dissent, but then who actually did that? A very small handful of political activists, the rest just never went there, because
a) usually their friends and family already agreed with them about politics
b) everyone felt powerless to change anything
c) everyone was too preoccupied with survival in the tough Soviet reality.

It seems counterproductive to attack the transportation infrastructure for oil, rather than the users or producers of oil. Would the "pipeline vandals" rather oil be transported by truck or train? I'm pretty sure the numbers show that those transportation methods are more dangerous and damaging than pipelines.

I think it is more relevant to try and get the users of oil to stop using it than to get the producers to stop making it. Their will always be some country that is willing to produce oil so long as there is still oil available. Reducing demand is the only way to actually make a significant difference IMO.
> Increasing surveillance is a back-door in democracy that grants the government new powers w/o going through the legislature.

I think a lot of people forget what this means.

It isn't just domestic influence. It is foreign influence too. I'm sure (close to) everyone on HN realizes there is nothing that isn't hackable.

Domestic influence also includes malicious people, not just governments. You're telling me that this system isn't going to be exploited? That stalkers aren't going to use it? That syndicates aren't going to use it to track adversaries?

You're going to have a hard time convincing me that these perform more good than bad. That's even without the overhead for abuse by people that have legitimate access to these streams.

I don't like talking about our own government abusing its powers. Though it has, people seem to be complacent with this. But there is also just as serious of a threat from foreign powers and domestic criminals. Why isn't this also talked about?

I completely agree with your statement. Every group layers its members in a self sustaining belief system that calls on it to reject other groups and be loyal to the 'home' group. Whether it is democrats vilifying republicans, republicans vilifying democrats, white supremacists vilifying non-whites, poor vilifying the rich, the christians vilifying the muslems, Etc. It goes on and on and on.

I hope (clearly over optimistically :-) that once people can understand the mechanism by which they are manipulated they can become a bit more critical about what they choose to believe and how they come to that belief. Every time I've found myself in what seems like an irreconcilable difference of opinion, when we've been able to break that down into what we believe and why, we can see exactly why we disagree.

I find it helps me to be more empathic to different points of view. Some people find it destabilizing and threatening clearly.
A lot of people are going to compare this publication to "bog Conservative" -- or worse, 'alt-right' -- online publications. A friend sent me an article for the first time today and it took the words out of my head - and it's not at all what I would consider right-wing.

Does the word 'white' in the headline of this piece make you nervous: https://quillette.com/2018/08/17/a-closer-look-at-anti-white... ? Will you skim the headline, downvote this and fail to read the part that talks heavily about the new NYT editor and hundreds of her tweets, combines other examples and advances a thesis that there's a new type of religious ideology that's taken hold in the U.S., while traditional religion waned? If so, then you're precisely what the conversation is about: people who sit idly by as a new dogmatism takes hold under the guise of righteousness.

As a traditionally Left person myself, I'm deeply troubled by the discourse in the U.S., where the Left and the extreme Right use the same phraseology and attitude, while the former feels vindicated and justified (because they are on the correct side). And throwing away due process in the interest of the Greater Good? If you're not reminded of the Salem Witch Trials, you should be reminded of Stalin's purges just the same.

Stepping out of right-versus-left politics, the idea is to remain skeptical of all group-think, regardless of where it comes from.

Okay fair, I rescind my comment saying that you in particular are a racist/sexist (I'm outside my edit time window for my parent comment).

Still however, there seem to be a lot of articles claiming that you funded things other than just the billboard you talk about. Specifically, that you funded troll groups who were making the memes [ https://www.theverge.com/2016/9/23/13025422/palmer-luckey-oc... ].

Is this not true? If it is true that you were funding the shitposting, then surely you don't know the content of all that was funded from your pockets -- memes that very well could have been racist/sexist/in poor taste, right?
Most was surely an exaggeration on my part, however some well known brutal beatings by cops in my country ending with the death of the arrested had the family of the victim being ridiculed and verbally attacked by police associations. Eventually in the most famous case to date it took one of the involved officers to talk after 9 years to expose what everyone was certain of: a coverup. There has been zero cooperation from above.

Regardless, that average people are cautious about their electronic privacy is something to applaud, not discourage. If you are trying to train people out of fearing their cameras, then you're doing a bit of a disservice.

In particular, your claim is false for phone and tablet cameras. These devices do not have visual indicators of camera operation. Furthermore, the only reason for an industry-wide adoption of laptop camera LEDs was consumer fear of them. If that fear erodes, there is no incentive to maintain the hardware feature and no governmental regulations governing such hardware.
The headline is poorly edited (it could use "each" in there), but the meaning is clear if you click through to the story.
Those two things are regulated quite differently.

I mean, yeah, but Quillette is still a rag. It exists to exhaust people with the time, energy, and knowledge to debunk it so people without that will be duped by its arguments that only seem reasonable on the surface and one or two layers below, right above the trash.

Quillette is like a knowledge slot machine to people who want to be well-informed but don't have the resources to do it without leaning on others who do. It lures you in with surface plausibility.

That definitely sounds like a very plausible explanation.

But Upwork still handled it very poorly. They communicated nothing to the contractor, and they told the employer that the only option whatsoever to deal with this contractor at all was to use some expensive "Wework Payroll" service.

That's ridiculous. Absolutely nothing about the situation requires that service. Essentially, Wework was taking over the relationship and then acting as his exclusive agent while making decisions that were against his interests. But you can't have it both ways like that (own the relationship while acting against the client's best interests).

They should have been upfront: "Hey, he's worked for you enough that he has to become, legally, an employee; we can't keep billing you through the Wework platform like before. [give possible workarounds]." And copy the contractor on the email.

Still a stupid law, but they could have handled it much better.

I think the broader point here is that they (whomever they is) don't think the situation calls for it. That's why they said the next update would be on Monday on Friday.

You may feel that's a bad decision, but I doubt that people are in a panic because they can't push out an update that would not be noticably different from the last one.

Just to clarify, what should this update contain?
When it comes to programming, I just can't see myself typing thousands of lines of code on a tiny iPad screen, no matter how clever the gestures and multitasking in iOS gets.

Using mineral oil in the study to make their product look superior.

I'm not the only one to share those concerns:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewherper/2018/11/10/fish-o...

The biomarkers of patients in the PLACEBO group decreased significantly (up to 30%). Why?

"But what seriously bothered five of the six cardiologists I spoke to was that the mineral oil had not behaved as a placebo at all. In other studies of cardiovascular drugs, blood test results on placebo do not budge. That’s not what happened here. Patients who received mineral oil saw their levels of low-density lipoprotein, the bad cholesterol, increase 10% to 84 milligrams per deciliter, 6% more than in the Vascepa group, according to the New England Journal of Medicine paper. What’s more, other blood test results used by cardiologists also went in the wrong direction. These changes were included in a supplement to the scientific paper, but not in the study itself. Levels of c-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation that is used to help calculate heart risk by some doctors, increased from 2.1 milligrams per liter to 2.8 milligrams per liter, a 30% increase. Could the placebo be causing some heart problems or strokes, making Vascepa look better than it really is?"

Shame on NPR for the sloppy reporting.

Honestly, I think this is a premature optimization. I don’t think it’s worth trying to prevent the allocation of a four element constant dictionary, especially one which requires awkward syntax (indirection through a computed value) to work because it must fulfill a protocol requirement.

I think people sometimes (especially on the identitarian Left) equate questioning the Left as automatically being on the "Other Team." I'm on the same Team and I think self-criticism is important to avoid turning into dogmatic robots, and dangerous ones at that.
That looks awesome! Here's a comment I wrote earlier about the topic:

I've been thinking about a suite of robots on the residential level that could not only mow the grass and edge it, but also shovel snow, and perhaps eventually prune plants and pick the harvest. If a base, plus a suite of attachments, could be affordable at less than $5k retail, I would buy it.
