Can you elaborate what new and old money means?

In my view, status symbols and signals exist at each wealth tier, i.e. from lower class, middle class and the bourgeoisie, to the upper extreme of billionaires.

Brand name and brand recognition persists not only in vertical hierarchy but also in horizontal sub cultures within the same wealth class (e.g. Supreme which has its roots in SB culture).
Sorry about that! I’m not great with Web Design, as you can tell. If anyone wants to contribute a CSS fix, or just a pointer to a good article on how to fix this, I’d be very grateful!
Well, the manufacturers and certification define a MEL[0] which must be adhered to and outlines what equipment needs to be functional for a flight. If the MEL specifies one AoA out is acceptable then you can bet the airline will fly with it until they can swap it out depending on maintenance constraints.

If you use basic encryption your ISP can't know much about you. But you can't lie to Google. Search "red spot in my groin" + tracking on Android/Maps -> Google knows you have a venereal disease and likely from who.

Not even Facebook knows you this well. On social media you present a highlight reel and hide your ugly side.

You can't lie to your search engine and Google tracks you even when you don't think it's doing so. Google gives hundreds of variables about a user on real-time bidding. That's you.
I agree that developed companies are doing what is described, but that is a completely separate thing than starting from scratch.

People have hurriedly forgotten why Linux distros exist: https://opensource.com/article/19/2/linux-distributions-stil...

There’s some of the same phenomenon going on with Gauss, as well. Not coincidentally, Gauss was probably the last person who truly understood all of mathematics, as it was known in his time.

There are many non religious answers. Philosophy (as in framework for life, not the intellectual masturbation "philosophy") provides a lot of them. See my other reply.

>That is worrying. How do you know that the voter could vote freely and didn't sell their vote?

Historically, vote buying in the UK and the US used to be rife until it was cracked down upon (which came after it was made illegal). Once that happened it completely disappeared.

For voters to sell their votes, somebody needs to advertise that they are willing to buy their votes. That advertisement makes them easy to detect, track down and prosecute.

Vote buying doesn't worry me in this system but hacks certainly do. It gives the impression of being a very insecure system.

I think what's difficult is the combination of hope that it will get better, and the fear that you are ending life before it has a chance to get better.

I absolutely feel the same away about my own life as you do, but it's harder to pull the trigger (metaphorically) when it is someone else's life, even when it is obviously the right choice.

In human language: the centre of thrust of 737 MAX is placed such way that it is possible thrust pitch it into stall if the pilot completely misses that, or, on the opposite, if he overreacts and runs into oscillation.

I think that all what MCAS does could've been achieved by telling pilots to set certain trim at the takeoff, when the thrust is maximal, and let the regular "hard" anti-stall system handle that in level flight. Again, software people trying to "think" for their users.
That’s a pretty disingenuous reading. It says “Apple will only retain the resulting coordinates in an anonymous form to improve Maps and other Apple location-based products and services.”

That falsely presupposes that only people with poor quality bug reports would be put off from reporting bugs due to the interface.

I've known people who can provide high quality, detailed bugs, decide not to because the extra hassles in reporting to Debian just aren't worth it to them.

Quite a few things:

- Allow whatever C++ inside the project but force each project to export a plain C API and .so file. This has the quadruple bonus of (1) avoiding ABI problems between compilers, (2) hiding complexity from other teams, (3) forcing teams to think more about their APIs, and (4) being trivially callable from any other language.

- Large API/SPI review mailing lists. This worked quite well at Apple.

- Add a section to the style guide about what's appropriate template use and what's not. Banning one of the language's most important features is just a cop out.

- Better mentorship from senior engineers.

> But, to address what you said, the point being made is that if someone say made a clone of Google, that had better search results than Google, that Google would penalize the website, as Google penalizes websites that resemble itself. This seems inherently anti-competitive, no?

If you search for a particular model of digital camera, you're looking for the product page for that camera or reviews of it etc., not a list of search results pages in a hundred other search engines that each contain largely the same results. Especially if they were all to do the same thing so that the only response to any search query is links to that query in dozens of other search engines that all only produce links to the same query in all the other search engines.

The thing that should produce results for other search engines or reviews/lists of them isn't a search for a product, it's a search for "search engine" or "product search engine" etc. -- but that is what you get when you do a Google search for that.

A search should never link to another search engine's SERP, because if you actually wanted that the obvious way to do it is to search Google for other search engines and then type your query into the other search engine.

Searching for "<thing> search engine" produces results for "<thing> search engine" and searching for "<thing>" produces results for "<thing>". Because if searching for "<thing>" produced results for "<thing> search engine" then how do you just search for "<thing>"? And if the user wants the "<thing> search engine" results, why can't they just search for "<thing> search engine"?

Seems obvious everyone here will agree with you. Question is how to create the change needed.
It was a mixed bag as far as reactions. Some family is religious, some incapable of expressing emotion, some work in healthcare and have seen death enough to accept it.
Living in pain with no personal hope is a big gap. Having others force their idea on you about what you should accept as 'things to live for' seems more depressing than anything to me. It's always harder on the living because we are selfish in wanting a person to stick around who does not want to.

I think researchers are working on this very thing, and it seems like the brain does store "visual representations" or at least it can't be ruled out at this point.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/08/20/mindreading_mri_spo...

And of course, why wouldn't the brain store a visual representation of what you remembered. That would be the easiest way to store and retrieve it, which is why we do that on computers as well.
Every death is the natural death of the person. Unless you force the free will (illusion)/spiritual ideology upon everyone. All death comes without choices in a world where all experiences are factored from the preceding events. A person who dies by suicide didn't choose it. Similar to a person who dies from old age.
I don't think that's empirically true - plenty of projects that have easy bug-reporting mechanisms (e.g., "open an issue on GitHub") don't ignore their bugs.

Most of the other problems you mentioned are American problems. There are quite a few people who actually do not live in America and care fairly little about America's "crumbling rail infrastructure".

Tech monopolies are a potentially global problem.

Star Trek: The Next Generation has an absolutely brilliant episode on this topic that touches on a lot of the things brought up in the article, as well as a concern you've brought up here in your comment:

I definitely wouldn't want to put this kind of binding decision over future me

A character facing this very conceit admitted that in the past, he was-like many others of his species-in favor of a policy whereby at 60 years old their kind would sacrifice themselves in an honorary fashion so as not to impede the progress of their descendants.

Fifteen to twenty centuries ago, we had no Resolution. We had no such concern for our elders. As people aged, they... their health failed. They became invalids. And those whose families could no longer care for them were put away, into... deathwatch facilities, where they waited in loneliness for the end to come, sometimes... for years. They had meant something; and they were forced to live beyond that, into a time of meaning nothing. Of knowing that they could now only be the beneficiaries of younger people's patience. We are no longer that cruel[1]

But the character later has a change of heart over the policy he was invariably complicit in supporting, while IMDB doesn't have the quote, paraphrasing it poorly-he opined about how his present and potentially future self may rebuke his past self for such a policy--a question of hindsight.

Great episode, I encourage one who's interested in the discussion created by this article to read it. It's one of my personal favorite TNG episodes, as it creates an interesting confluence of emotional narrative and philosophical narrative that comes to a narrative conclusion, but leaves the philosophical question open in ways most episodes of the same 'template' don't.

I agree, there was a gap, especially for about 2 years. But, even when that gap existed, it was pretty clear that the cloud providers (and other software companies) would build/enable a one click Kube distros.

As the cloud providers adopted Kube, I knew Swarm would loose. Now, the answer is, "use an API" don't run it local if you don't have to.
And I've seen people who learn how to report bugs to the Debian bugtracker and then proceed to spend tons of time filing low-quality bugs now that they've acquired that skill, until (maybe) they get banned from the bugtracker.

And I've seen Debian package maintainers fail to file bugs correctly....
It is very hard to introspect into what cannot be introspected... but with such things as how many flats the key of F major has (which I have a very vague understanding of what the question even means) ... I have a hunch that such data recall is incredibly crosschecked and error-corrected by correlating to many many other known facts. You may associate to maths lessons in elementary school, visual charts, piano lessons, math knowledge, that special smell of the paper and number theory (not necessarily fancy, just simple stuff) that altogether makes it impossible to corrupt upon recalling, how many flats the key of F major has.

While as for the kinds of memories we easily do corrupt upon reading (was the perpetrator tall or blonde?) there may be no such data to draw from. Or worse, generalised "data" which is good for pattern matching but not for actual recall. (The stuff prejudice is made of.)

If so, then there is no contradiction or problem, just a very intricate mesh of data.

(Also I have an idea which is not even a hunch, but pulled out of thin air, that our "logic" and "memory" are much more intermixed in our wetware than in computers.)
Ubuntu is... interesting.

Watch out for what packages you rely on, and what repository those packages come from. If they're in universe, expect your bug reports on Launchpad to go unanswered or unresolved. The only way to get fixes in them is to go upstream to Debian. But note that not every bug in a universe package is actually fixable or broken in a Debian world, because the bug might be down to interactions between a decision made by Canonical with packages in the main repository, and those for the universe package.
> but random strangers not being allowed to push updates to my operating system in 5.34 seconds doesn’t sound all bad. To me.

So that's what the frustrating to maintainers crumbling infrastructure and crappy tooling are for. Now it all makes sense!

Actually, I'd very much prefer quickly pushed updates in case of severe security issues. Debian had lots of really ancient packages with problems in "stable" last time I looked.
Technologists, unlike politicians, have a luxury of creating a system and offering it to others, without asking for trust (in form of election or other) or promising doing some specific work (to support the system, to use it etc.) If the system is good, others will use it; otherwise they won't.

As I understand it, Schneier's idea is to ask technologists to work on systems solving - even partially - problems which we see today in the society. Even partial solution can help those whose job is to, in general, govern, i.e. politicians - as well as hired bureaucrats.

I doubt making filing bug reports uncomfortable is increasing their quality.
Throughout my school career I was a top student in math, generally enjoying it and even sometimes just doing math for fun of it. (I still do this on occasion.) But probably the single most useful math class I ever took was "Practical Math" in the 8th grade, which I just did on a lark. All of my other math courses were of the college-bound and later engineering varieties.

But frankly I'm appalled at the amount of math many college majors still require today. I eventually grew quite tired of it myself, once I (as a student already working in my chosen profession) realized that most of it was just a waste of my time, which could be better spent elsewhere. For example, I see no sane reason why someone who has spent their entire life dreaming of becoming a doctor or whatever, and who is otherwise generally well-suited for that profession, hits an impenetrable barrier at calculus or some such and so has to give up their dreams. I once asked a medical instructor some years back how much calculus he and his students (future doctors) actually used, both in school and afterwards, and his response was that they generally didn't use much more than basic algebra. Today I'd expect that they just put a few numbers into a calculator or computer, press a button and they're done.
You're correct. It's not magic. Papa Mau had an encyclopedic knowledge of the sea. He knew the birds, the fish, the constellations, the currents. At high noon on an overcast day Papa Mau could tell where they were by the way the water moved the boat.

This is a massive amount of information passed on through oral tradition. It takes a long time and if you ever visit, you'll often hear people call Papa Mau the last navigator, because he was the last human to be taught this kind of navigation from early childhood. Papa Mau passed before he could finish training the next generation.

This tradition is very important to the nations of the pacific. I don't have time to properly explain why right now. I have a meeting I need to get to.
it's easier and maybe normal to think about these topics when you're going through a horrible time. When you're on top of your game, maybe even responsible to look after life that you've brought into this world, it's much harder to wrap your head around death. Once people land on their ass (we all do every once in a while), maybe from sickness, bankruptcy, or death of a close person (or all of it combined, as is usually the case when things all come together at once), it feels much less morbid to think about these topics.

From all the existentialists I've read Peter Wessel-Zapffe[1], a Norwegian philosopher (considered the comedian among philosophers) has helped me understand the importance of always facing the bleak side of life. As somebody who is no stranger to depression (and thoughts of suicide every couple of weeks) facing the reality of death and even seeking it out as a topic is the only way I'm able to be happy.

On the continum of relational algebra to logic programming catalog is somewhere in the middle.

It is better at handling recursive queries, and logical inference than SQL. On the flip side SQL can be better at more set style operations (for instance windowing functions are painful in datalog).

It is different tooling, essentially it comes down to do you want to extract answers from your data with varying relational algebra but holding the logic the same (SQL), or keeping the relational algebra the same but varying the logic (datalog).
