I think that the solution is similar to what he's proposing for the social networks: decentralization. One example would be to take hint from github, and allow articles to be forked when they reach some threshold of editing warfare. Embrace and aggregate partisan takes rather pursuing the noble but chimeric goal of neutrality.
If someone were to post on twitter about how they would murder Samsung executives, then no matter how many small print disclaimers saying that 'they were talking about killing the expectations of the executives by showing them an enjoyable time like no other' would save them from legal prosecution. Advertisements should be treated the same. The way normal people view implications in the ads constitute the actual ad and no amount of fine print can change that.
This kind of repetition is inevitable because there's no technological solution to systemic social problems. An internet like the greybeards envisioned would require changes to our political and economic systems to remove (or at least lessen) the incentives to muck it all up in service of money or power.
Not refuting this but I just remembered something that inspired me way back when I was an intern - the book of five rings - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Five_Rings

I guess the essence of what I got from it, was if someone is attacking you, you want to observe how they’re doing it and what you think is driving them to do it. The idea I got from the Book of Five Rings is that for any type of attack there is a response that can stop the attack in a single strike. That response varies depending on the attack. But that’s how I came to group laughter being the “strike” that will usually stop the intentional asshole / office bully type.

And yes that may sound like childish, school playground stuff but often the reason someone behaves badly in an office hs it’s roots in their childhood
And the slot machines are online ads incarnate.
The article's advice on making positivity an official part of a company's culture is great! As is the mentorship/management strategy described for fostering positive behavior in problem cases.

But firing an "unintentional asshole" over their lack of social skills seems like an easy way to be on the receiving end of lawsuit, particularly if terminated employee has a medical condition that explains the behavior in whole or in part. Firing someone with autism over their lack of social skills could land you in deep shit.
What exactly was stated explicitly as a fact?
No, that can't happen to Facebook now the way it happened to MySpace. Facebook has too much money. At this point Facebook and Google essentially own the advertising business on the Internet. With that kind of money, they can just buy competitors.
Odd, mine is idling at 49 C in a 21 C room. This is the 4G version running fully updated Raspbian without the desktop (one of the updates fixed the USB controller using a lot of power at idle).
Apparently this will be fixed with a PCIe firmware update, they're just figuring out the best way to roll this out.
The story mentions that the new designs would be cheaper. They don't go into detail as to why.

I suspect that a lot of the cost is process and regulatory overhead.

If that can be made more efficient, things are likely to get cheaper.

However, the story only mentions running efficiency, which may not have as much impact.
> If you factor in all the cost involved nuclear energy doesn't make sense.

Let's assume for a moment that nuclear can never be cost competitive with renewables and natural gas in generation.

Even in that scenario of guaranteed cost non-competitiveness, I would argue that it still makes sense to invest into, build and maintain a nuclear base for energy generation diversity purposes. Nuclear can provide enormous energy from a small number of operating reactors. There is also strong scientific value and potential in continuing to work on and improve nuclear, as who knows what the future holds. The US is one of the three or four leaders in nuclear energy still and it should maintain that capability. If you give it up, it will be extremely difficult to reclaim.

Some things are worth subsidizing on cost because they have other offsetting attributes. It's why, for example, nearly all liberal democracies maintain standing armies today, often at great relative cost (even 2% of GDP is a lot of money coming out of an economy and being put toward a military that is very rarely used).
>Ehm, does that actually work however? I see what you say happening, but does it bring the desired goal?

I think it does, albeit slowly and not necessarily without backlash. The alternative to having LGBT people assert their own identity is to have their identity asserted for them, by people who may not understand them or who may be hostile to them, and that sort of thing never goes well.

And the desired goal is to remove the stigma of LGBT existence and have it be accepted as being normal. One way to facilitate that normalization is for LGBT people to simply not be hidden, and to participate in society, and the most obvious way to do that is as part of a culture that can be easily recognized by an outgroup.

It's progress for people to simply complain about there being too much gay representation in the media, rather than for it to be illegal to represent it as anything but an illness (as was the case under the Hayes code.)

>I'm part of society, but I for sure aint doing that, and I don't really want to be put in the same box with people who do.

This seems to trip a lot of people up when discussions about the intersections of race, gender and culture come up. It's difficult to argue that, for instance, toxic aspects of masculinity can exist without people interpreting that as a claim that all masculinity is toxic and that, therefore, all men are toxic. Likewise, discussing rape culture leads to people dismissing the concept entirely because they, themselves, are not rapists. Yet both are criticisms of group dynamics, systems of power and identity politics, not of individuals or of all members of a class.

Individuals can differ in the way they respond to the influences of society, but its influence still exists. Speaking at the level of abstractions rather than individuals is important because those abstractions are what form people's concepts of normality, decency and justice, and because people act both as individuals and as conformist (or non-conformist) members of a group. Men who don't display toxic masculinity are still participants in the culture of masculinity, and men who don't rape are still participants in rape culture. Women participate in both as well.

Likewise, it's entirely possible to correctly claim that society puts hostile labels on LGBT groups, and for that not to apply to you personally. If so, that's fine, but not relevant, and there's no need to be defensive about the premise.
This is a 20+ year recollection...but while working on a Masters in Public Health, we learned that the only causal factor that could be linked to both number of children birthed and age at which a woman gives birth to her first child is the education level of the mother. That is, as women in a society have greater access to education, they postpones when they have their first child and in the end have fewer children in their lifetime.

Even bad USB cables are gonna have total resistances below 150mΩ, and that's including contact resistance on both ends. Unless you're shorting the cable inside the contacts (you do short pins to make USB deliver power, but upstream ports gotta spec for shorts anyways), even bad cables are unlikely to be a severe risk.

The nice part of DC is you get to use the entire cross section of the wire. So 2A at 5V isn't gonna start too many fires even on thin wire.

Now hopefully we don't see too many folks start using USB-PD
3 with crappy but compliant cables, as my comfort with DC drops as we go up into 20V 5A territory.
> Why?

Because two resistors in parallel (i.e when RD is shorted to RA) lowers the resistance and pulls the voltage down to a range that identifies the device as an audio device to the charger

I've been using Helm for a couple of years, and it has crippled all other editors and IDEs for me.

I never read the manual, I have no idea how Helm works, or what it does, or what it is supposed to do. Yet I do use it all day every day. I just type, and Helm delivers what I meant, blazingly fast.

I've tried Atom, VSCode, Eclipse, CLion, Visual Studio, Xcode... I can't use them. You have to click on tabs to switch, you have to click dialogs to open views of the file system, and then navigate them to where you want to go, manually search for the file you want, actually use search boxes somewhere... they all feel super ancient UI wise. Sure, Atom, VSCode, Sublime, they all have some magic box where you can do anything, but that box just isn't Helm.

With Helm I know there is a file or a buffer or anything somewhere containing something that I might need and I don't even know what it is, and I just start pressing keys and Helm goes from showing me the whole universe, to pin pointing me the grain of sand that I didn't know I wanted, by interacting with me.

I have no idea how to even start Helm, nor which keys I press there. Do I press Tab? Sure. What do I press to start interacting with helm ? I don't even know, it just happens. Best tool ever.

Edit oops I thought OP said what they communicate not what IP.
Firstly, the theory in question is so vague it's hard to say what they are really claiming.

But secondly and more importantly, even if what you say is true, the theory is still total nonsense!

Where is the evidence for any of this? Where are the networks of bots that were caught spamming low-intelligence identically worded political comments, yet somehow can't be caught by normal spam filters? Where is the testimony of millions of people who decide how to vote by counting duplicate tweets?

This entire theory is literally a conspiracy theory. Like all conspiracy theories, when basic questions are asked it suddenly shapeshifts and starts to claim something different but still wrong.

I don't believe any such bots exist: can anyone show me the evidence that they do? I mean real, first-hand evidence, not assertions of dubious self-proclaimed experts with an agenda.

I can for sure tell you that real humans are routinely labelled as "bots" by people who believe in this conspiracy theory, and can cite evidence:

1. It's happened to me.

2. It's happened to other people:

That may have been the end of it, but then Ian took an invitation to appear on Sky News. The news anchors began by asking the man, who appeared on video remotely, whether he was truly a "Russian bot." "That is 100 percent a total lie and complete fabrication by the UK government," Ian said, with a British accent.

Here's a related case. In fairness, this time it's about "Russian trolls" not "Russian bots", although I've noticed people tend to use the terms interchangeably:

https://order-order.com/2017/11/15/byline-outs-russian-troll...

The Twitter account in question turned out to be a Scottish car park security guard.

Here's a third case of real people being accused of being political bots:

https://www.wired.com/story/how-americans-wound-up-on-twitte...

3. Any time any detail or basic question about this theory is raised, this is exactly what happens - someone pops up saying nobody is claiming the bots are genuinely artificially intelligent, or the claims are changed in other subtle ways. But yes, that's exactly what this very article is claiming:

"The first bots, short for chatbots, couldn’t hide their artificiality. When they were invented, back in the nineteen-sixties, they weren’t capable of manipulating their users. Most bot creators worked in university labs and didn’t conjure these programs to exploit the public. Today’s bots have been designed to achieve specific goals by appearing human and blending into the cacophony of online voices"

The justification for this law is literally that people think AGI has been achieved and is "manipulating" voters by spreading "false narratives". But it's not true, is it?

The volume of waste they generate would be reduced by a factor of about 100 as well.

But how does that tie in with SNI? The specs say that the client sends the intended hostname as part of the TLS handshake, can the ISP sniff the hostname from that handshake?

[edit] as per wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication:

The desired hostname is not encrypted, so an eavesdropper can see which site is being requested. This helps security companies provide a filtering feature and governments implement censorship. [..] As of mid 2018, an upgrade called Encrypted SNI (ESNI) is being rolled out in an "experimental phase" to address this risk of domain eavesdropping. On March 1, 2019, Daniel Stenberg stated that Mozilla Firefox supports ESNI.
Yes, you're right that they will know to which server you have connected (HTTPS has nothing to do with it), but they might not know which site you have tried to access because some servers will host many sites.

Edit, to clarify: this depends on the protocol, as someone has noted further down, but in principle you could have an encrypted protocol in which case the ISP (or any other routing node) could only with which server you have exchanged packets.

I like this. Recently, I semi-seriously recommended BJJ for a bullying situation. In adolescents, I see BJJ working to help kids calm down and for boys and girls to get along in a time fraught with drama. I followed my boys into BJJ and think it has something to teach adults too. When you are the victim it will make you less intimidated. When you are the asshole it gives a constructive outlet for aggression which when misdirected is a good definition of bullying. I think there are a .1% of us who are unredeemable assholoes. The rest of us are all potential assholes and we need to watch out for the conditions which make such behavior happen. And BJJ, we all need some BJJ...

I remember there was a moment back in the late 90ies many who already worked with the Web joked on usenet etc that "the Internet is becoming mainstream" (usually as an eye-roll reaction to trolls or somebody gullible forwarding a hoax email ...)

I think we made a big mistake trying to convince everyone that the digital life is like real. E.g. you can have real conversations etc. (they are real but not the same, maybe our discussions online are too real idk), please bear with me ...

IMO there has been a huge interest by Tech to make everyone believe that Online life is very much like real life, for some of us it even did become so (SecondLife, gaming, etc). And there are many calls to enforce real-name policies and to outlaw anonymity in Tech. The theory is that this will improve authenticity, get rid of trolls ("if only we could back this with more security, root of trust", etc).

But when I just judge from myself, how I use the web ... I am not actually "really me" in the same sense. Even posting under my real name I often catch myself having provided some kind of snapshot of my inner state of mind or general feeling, and which to my horror shouldn't be taken at face value (yet it is because I said it and it is written).

When speaking pseudonymously it allows me to air half-baked thoughts and feelings so that I can get feedback (in a safe way) and then allows to improve my thinking on the subject.

I wonder would I say the same things under my real identity ? and the scary answer is sometimes I accidentally do. And I guess others also make these mistakes. Compartmentalizing is really hard and once I said shit the cat is out of the bag ... what was written may haunt me forever.

Getting judged by a prospective employer wading through our social media footprint is already reality, and before entering some countries I have to unlock my phone now. None of this is supposed to be like that IMO because we humans don't compartmentalize our thoughts the same way when we are online as we do when we have a conversation IRL

What tricks us into thinking that "just because we say it we should stick to it", because we use the written form. By saying it in our head and WRITING IT DOWN, it becomes very hard to take a step back and retract our position. Writing things down is one of the keys in how we commit to something according to Robert Caldini[1]. And because we usually write online our not well thought out positions (spitballing), we end up making these spitballs our personal hills to die on. This is something we haven't yet realized: ONLINE != IRL, yet we want to force people to believe it is the same.

If you say so. But... I said I think the features are good and you ask "why?"

I could relist the features, but that's a waste of time. As I said, I think the combination is a good combination. In a world where people try to encode loops in YAML or JSON, even small improvements are better and Dhall is a large improvement.

I don't really get what you're asking. I said I think the combination of features is good. I don't need to describe the features. The reason I like them is probably related to neurochemistry?

Are you asking for a deep dive on how Dhall compares to alternatives?

> Pal Alto 1950s ranch homes cost a lot more than the equivalent in Boise.

This is obvious, but it's also obvious that, with respect, few people want to live in Boise and if they did, and could make Palo Alto money, housing would become much more expensive.

> Look at New York City.

A very expensive place, not 10x cheaper than Palo Alto and not Boise. Nothing you said is news to me or refutes the point.

Yes, these differences can be big, and housing policy affects the number. But you can't say it's the reason a non job center city is cheap, or claim that the factor is 10x.
