Wow. I didn't check the wikipedia entry for KaiOS earlier.

But the weird thing is that I recently read in some magazine (I am unable to remember the name) about Google investing in KaiOS which was a Brazilian company and the whole article was mentioning how Silicon Valley is unable to understand its customers as they live in a bubble and how its the companies in developing countries that truly understand the needs of the customer and deliver. Its mentioned that KaiOS is gunning at Android for #1 in India and Google's investment was a sign of acceptance and a hint that the new version of Android will get shelved soon. It even referred to India based Zoho as the true challenger to Google Apps & Office 360. Also how wechat is miles ahead of Whatsapp & likes and how in a sense it challenges the whole Silicon Valley in terms of all the features it has. Basically it was urging the readers to not assume that silicon valley products as superior and try others too.

I hope Mozilla reconsiders and starts up Firefox OS again. I prefer it over a company driven product like KaiOS.

P.S. Just noticed that the last name of the KaiOS's CEO is "Codeville".
Oh come on. Evolution is a lie. The chance of even a single 150 amino-acid protein forming spontaneously is nil.
I'm honestly surprised they're not cutting back production more than this. If I was an airline that thought long and hard about whether to order the 737 Max or the Airbus A320neo, and ultimately decided on the Boeing, these events, and the likelihood of recertification and further training requirements for pilots might well make me reconsider that decision.

If Boeing really needed to cut these corners in order to remain competitive, then having to redo those corners might make them too expensive or inefficient for the market.
Yes it really was well thought out. Another good example is the 'tube' interface for second processors. Enthusiasts have recently put this to use to interface with a Raspberry Pi which can emulate various processors from back in the day at unheard-of speeds, and also provides a modern native ARM coprocessor. The neat thing is that this all works with no changes to the BBC and no special software; you just use the operating system routines as usual on code running on the second processor and it all just works. Not bad for a system designed in 1981.

Then use different VPNs for different types activities, combine it with TOR if necessary. It's not like it's a free lunch.

"Add in anonymity, and it's just disgusting," Torvalds said. "When you don't even put your real name on your garbage (or the garbage you share or like), it really doesn't help."

Except when you see people you knew and respected before social media existed posting and "liking" the same garbage. They either just do not care or they do not know any better.

The lack of anonymity lends itself to the emergence of countless self-promoters who specialise in posting yet more garbage, on a regular basis. The aim of which is often directly or indirectly commercial.
I was using it a ton, precisely because I could choose which groups I joined and how I engaged with it. It was precisely because fancy pants forum software isn't a great platform for algorithm generated engagement spam that I liked it so much.
Good. The more damage copyright holders do to the public, the more people understand why the idea of owning ideas is stupid.
Your final sentence seems to assume that the youth don't want what you're calling a "HBB" life.

They may not be able to achieve it, but if anything, I'd think that they're more likely to vote in favour of it.

I'm young. Effectively since high school I've been working towards that life. It's what I consider to be a good, successful life. Relaxing in front of the fire or kicking about in the garden with the kids.

In the UK we don't have the American exurb life for the most part, but a little terraced house with a garden on a quiet street - sign me up.

There is nothing impossible about this unless you expect that an infinite number of people should pile into one city regardless of economic viability.
Is there a hidden analogy to programming that I missed? :)
I've never been much engaged in FB,TW or Instagram or too many Social platforms. But I still have to disagree with Mr Linus, after all where would we be without the Slashdot effect?

Social media simply accelerates aspects of what we are as humans. Its well known that we humans are genetically more attracted to the negative than the positive for obvious reasons ... and just to be circular: when was the last time something positive Linus said made the news?

So rather than say Social media is an external invading disease i would rather say it is an expression of what makes us human.
In my case, I’ve always found partners (including my wife with whom I’ve been in a strong relationship for 8 years) in gatherings with friends and friends of friends.

I would absolutely DREAD today’s dating scene through a screen. Maybe older men do it the old way?

I don’t know, this is one revolution I hope regresses.

If you’re young and looking, I’d suggest you try to mix and match your circle with your friends’ circles and hope for the best.
Not saying you personally do this, but it seems every time Europe prosecutes someone for threats of violence on twitter there are the usual fools here shouting "it's just free speech!"
Can't wait until reddit decides to ban porn as advertiser-unfriendly, à la tumblr. They're heading steadfast in the direction of sanitizing the site until it's nothing but gifs of puppies yawning.

> When I was a teenager online - early 2000s - extreme violence was hidden behind obscure websites, not even indexed by search engines. I had friends who had "shocking videos" - think videos of actual killings - and I really tried to stay as far as I could.

And having access to them caused them any kind of incurable psychological damage or something? Because most of the time I doubt the usefulness of any of those "we need to protect the children at all costs" regulations.
Where to start is with advertising content regulations. Not just what is shown, but how often. Prevent ad-stalking from following people everywhere they go.

Also, the categorization of people through these platforms is a mass psychological experiment and maybe it should be treated as such.

Finding what pushes people to engage in a topic is often the same as finding their fears. Feeding them with a barrage of imagery and headline that provoke and prod these fears is a recipe for disaster. AI has proven exceptionally good at that.

Profiting from all of this is morally bankrupt.

The saddest part for me is that these platforms are useful but easily replaceable. They are optional tools in our lives but are treated as societal infrastructure. I deleted social media over 2 years ago and I don’t see what all the fuss is.

If the UK charged him and got British court approval, American courts would defer. Given Zuckerberg’s present standing, it’s unlikely Congress would attempt to intervene.
As a resident of NYC I’m all for getting rid of rent control (stabilization) but I have to say that it leaves a sour taste in my mouth to just hand over a windfall to landlords that bought buildings while rent control was in place and accordingly paid a lower price.

Maybe some kind of rent control buyout program would make more sense.
There is literally posts where someone made a profile with a really good looking man as the picture and he can say anything he wants. Take a look at this example: https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=165905221&pa...

You make a regular guy say those things and his dating life would be dead quiet. If you want success with women you should do your best to become attractive.
> This is formal political advertising, isn't?

No, it isn't. It was a personal post on politics. And from the way many posters here seem to suggesting that this was based on an "ad", it seems to be an attempt to change the narrative from the actual facts.

And as per indian experts, it violates our privacy.
1. The point of this is to avoid repeating the common headers and have the type system validate that a pointer/reference of a subtype is compatible with its parent type (in C you'd need to typecast which can be dangerous).

5. I also tend to name dynarrays as lists, but in this case you have both List and Array and the only difference seems to be that one has a capacity while the other doesn't. Having both can be a bit confusing when you actually wanted a (linked) list.

6. It will only help when inside the editor, hence why i explicitly wrote "when looking at its use in a diff (or any other non-syntax highlighted, non-code aware code viewing context)".

8. None of the examples i mentioned can be solved with compile-time evaluation (except some cases of IFDEF DEMO) since they change what code is actually compiled (e.g. if you want to use an API that may not even be available on a target - like e.g. DirectX on Linux) or generate code themselves.

9. I do not think it makes much sense to worry about that, there are fonts that have 0 and O look the same, let the user fix their fonts, do not punish those who use unambiguous fonts with inconsistency. Trust your users.
While violence or extreme acts may not be on the rise, what about depression and anxiety? The victim may be the person exposed to the content, not who they in turn harm.
Free speech doesn't mean you can literally say anything...
You could also buy a FLIR device on Amazon (about $200). These devices give off heat. For instance, a smoke detector with a camera would give off a lot more heat than a normal smoke detector.
He's talking about reproduction, not modeling. You can model the painting's physics all you want, you still won't be able to make a faithful reproduction on a flat and gamut-limited LCD screen.
My opinion is that, while those traits are there, Facebook et al actively manipulate people to express those traits. Yes, similar things happen in face yo face interactions... with psychopaths. In this way, social media is more like a predator than a disease.

A question on 1-: does introduction of intermediary objects stack well? What I mean, for instance: If the moon is between us and the sun, the light gets blocked out but gravity does not. Light intensity then does not stack well (for visible light frequencies) when there are intermediate objects. Or does the analogy here require a more formal transposition to GR and the distortion of spacetime?
> It’s far from convenient but I feel it’s the best compromise, especially since you get the full quality in whatever end format you want. With pirated copies, they often are missing surround tracks, higher quality encodings, CC, and languages.

That's not my experience. There's always a clean bluray rip with good bitrates and the original DTS(-HD) audio track available. There's actually no need to rip the media yourself.

Compared to legal streaming options piracy releases offer a far better quality and technical fidelity. In fact, I was complaining in another comment some time ago how surprisingly poor my cinematic experience with Netflix' critically acclaimed "Roma" was. Their official clients weren't able to adjust the refresh rate to the correct 24 fps the film was shot in (as are most movies). A process the viewers had to do (and guess) themself unless they were ok with micro stuttering and frame interpolation. Apparently this issue is also very common among Netflix apps on thrid party hardware like Smart TVs and other boxes. Meanwhile it's a non-issue with any decent software video player.

And that's before we even discuss bitrate or audio formats.
If you're making a claim that availability of extreme content on the internet is leading to depression and anxiety, please provide a source.

I think Linus is right. It's a bit ironic, though, him calling Facebook a 'disease' when Steven Balmer famously called Linux a 'cancer'.
> it is the parents' fault, and the parents' responsibility

The idea that parents should have such sole responsibility over their children is one extreme of a spectrum of opinion. UK government policy tends to be on the other end of that spectrum, with the opinion that children are the state's responsibility, with forced adoption being used much more readily than the rest of Europe, for example.

It's also hard to reconcile the idea of childrens' mental health being the sole responsibility of parents with the causes of childhood mental health problems very commonly being abusive and neglectful parenting.

The Murky and Profitable World of Crypto Exchanges
Burner account to describe my experience.

Late 30s male software developer - my long-term, live-in gf dumped me a few months ago and I got on the dating apps. Holy cow.

I get dozens of "matches" every single day on Bumble and Hinge, it's overwhelming. Don't even bother with Tindr or OKC (I tried OKC for a week and I had literally over 900+ "likes"). I'm not saying this rub it in anyone's face, just to confirm the hypothesis of many in this thread: the dating apps have redistributed matches to the top 20%.

I have friends and coworkers who are totally normal, regular-looking dudes and they barely get any matches -- my results piss them off so much they won't even talk to me about dating anymore.

I'm a decent-looking person but no male model and not rich, I can't even imagine how much more intense it is at that level.

That being said, I don't like the apps and wish there was a different way. Some kind of combination of internet matching and speed dating so you didn't have to waste days of your life endlessly texting or drop hundreds of dollars buying drinks (and/or dinner) for women who text you after the fact that they're not interested.

Not that anyone feels bad for me, but even getting a ton of responses it's not a process I enjoy either.
Yes! The BBC Micro came out just before I started primary school. Initially our school (200-300 pupils) had one, on a trolley, with a concept keyboard too ( http://www.beebmaster.co.uk/8bitadd/Concept.html ).

By the time I left primary school, we had three or four!

In primary one, I remember some very simple `cat and mouse' game.

Later on, a text adventure game, possibly something to do with a frog. And then Granny's Garden, and The Flowers of Crystal.

At some point, I got permission to basically mess around on one during some lunchtimes.

There is so much more I could say!
Absolutely. My very favorite is "Enterprise Integration Patterns".
I don't see how this changes what I wrote.
Thanks for that honest feedback! That was indeed a drawback we had and we often had this point coming up in customer conversations. This is why we started an effort to lift this limitation a few months ago. The result of this work is a new Datamodel specification that allows you to take full control of how relations are implemented. You can check it out here: [GitHub - prisma/datamodel-v1.1-feedback](https://github.com/prisma/datamodel-v1.1-feedback)
Your use case description sounds like you want to take really control of a lot of details here. Therefore I would suggest you to introduce a model that is backed by your relation table. Then you can freely filter on this model and then traverse relationships from there.
If you want to chat more about how to implement in detail feel free to reach out on our public Slack (my nick there is: marcus).
That's not the point he's making. There are other consequences than 1:1 repetition.
It amazes me that RedPill gets such hate. It's just Cosmo for men: mediocre life and dating advice, with a nugget of truth. Here are the current top posts.

- "Sexual Selection and Existential Fear": about disregarding the notion that men always want sex and women do the choosing. In other words, self respect.

- "How to Structure Your Day to Maximize Productivity." This could be plucked from a magazine.

- "Practice what you learn." Pretty much what it says, basic life advice about persistence.

- "Day game works--get out there and approach" If you want to date women, approach them and make conversation. Duh.

- "Be thoroughly logical about what you want from women and what you're prepared to pay for it" Again, have some self respect and don't roll over.

This is apparently so threatening that it must be quarantined. How fragile must women be that giving men some basic sanity checking, and telling them not to worship every vagina on sight, is a threat to society and must be hysterically misrepresented and demonized at every turn.

The sad part is, red pill is probably the first time in these guys' lives that someone has given these dudes a script that can actually succeed. It's not great, it misses a lot of nuance, but it's a start. What do you want instead, incels who resent the world and think they are literally incapable of being loved, so they shouldn't try?

Actually yes, that's exactly what people seem to want. For the undesirables to go away, and for sociable people to continue to enjoy the privilege of being sufficiently attractive and sufficiently high class that useless feel good advice like "just be yourself!" is all anyone will ever need. And then calling that empathy.
How to Raise Money for a Billion Dollar Startup
That's not a popular opinion because it's functionally the same as saying only the people who can afford to buy a home or enter a long-term lease should have access to affordable, stable housing. Since politics is about who gets what, and since most people don't have much in terms of savings or leverage, it's in the interest of most people to oppose your viewpoint because it's against their interests.

It's only emotional pandering if you don't think politics should be a useful instrument to people without money.
Quoting from the wiki article:

> As a countermeasure against an NLJD, professional covert listening devices (bugs) of the Central Intelligence Agency were equipped from 1968 onwards with a so-called isolator. An isolator is a 3-port circulator of which the return ports is terminated with a resistor. Any energy injected into the bug by an NLJD, will be absorbed by the resistor, resulting in no (or very little) reflected energy. An example of such a bug is the CIA's SRT-107.

Do modern concealed spy cameras have this kind of tech? Is there anyway to counter such a counter-measure?
It's an ongoing debate:

> In a wide-ranging review published in February’s issue of Current Anthropology, Thompson joins a team of researchers to weave together several strands of recent evidence and propose a new theory about the transition to large animal consumption by our ancestors. The prevailing view, supported by a confluence of fossil evidence from sites in Ethiopia, is that the emergence of flaked tool use and meat consumption led to the cerebral expansion that kickstarted human evolution more than 2 million years ago. Thompson and her colleagues disagree: Rather than using sharpened stones to hunt and scrape meat from animals, they suggest, earlier hominins may have first bashed bones to harvest fatty nutrients from marrow and brains.

> Then, starting in the mid-1980s, an opposing theory arose in which Homo’s emergence wasn’t so tightly coupled with the origins of hunting and predatory dominance. Rather, early hominins first accessed brain-feeding nutrients through scavenging large animal carcasses. The debate has rolled on through the decades, with evidence for the scavenging theory gradually building.

> Because large animals such as antelope pack a serious micro-and-macro-nutrient punch, scientists have thought their meat contributed to humanity’s outsized brains. A consensus arose in the 1950s that our ancestors first hunted small animals before moving on to larger beasts around 2.6 million years ago. Flaked tool use and meat eating became defining characteristics of the Homo genus.

You know, "science advances one funeral at a time" and all that.

Plus, I'm sure there is some kind of power-fantasy attachment to the older theory that basically puts humans on top of the food chain as apex predators due to our intelligence.
Scanning isn't going to work if its an IPv6 network. I would just use wireshark and the busy device would probably be your camera it it's on the network.

And probably don't use an IPv6 network if you're the host unless you want to hide a device on the network.
I think the risk there is more for the man than the woman. I don't think there is anything inherently bad in trying to circumvent the natural hierarchies of dating by means of your (unearned) social background. It's always part of the game anyway, and it doesn't mean that you want to "own" somebody or anything like that. But it's naive, as it won't last long in the new social environment. I.e. the beautiful wife will soon discover she has much better possibilities in the new country.

In the early 2000s, extreme violence was indexed on search engines. You just had to actively search for it.

The fact that you had to "deep dive" shows that you have to actively search for it so there goes your argument for more regulation.

Also, there is a difference between regulating and banning. Why are you conflating regulation with censorship? Those are two different things.

And why is showing real violence "far from healthy"? One of the reasons why I didn't join the military was seeing what actual violence. I think it is healthy to show what is really happening.

Maybe if we showed everyone the truth rather than PR packaged fake propaganda, we'd be less inclined to support wars ( territorial, drug, etc ).

If your logic is applied, then everything from porn to rap music to movies and literature needs to be banned.

Doing it more can provide better result only when it is allowed to trash the previous iterations to use the latest one.

This is not the case in the industry, we cannot change everything in a product at each iteration. This is why at least a little care and architecture have to be done before doing it and trashing must be made with care.
