I will have to disagree with that.

Firstly I don't think anyone has actually formalised superdeterminism in a way that the principle of explosion can be logically introduced to formally undermine superdeterminism. What you are doing here is akin to stretching the conceptual relevance of Godel's incompleteness theorems and trying to use it to prove or disprove the existence of God.

Basically I don't see how it makes sense to say that superdeterminism contains a principle of explosion. Perhaps my interpretation of superdeterminism is very different from yours. Or maybe I simply don't see the picture as you do. If that is the case please enlighten me.

Secondly I think you are missing the point of superdeterminism here.

There is something very computational (and perhaps Taoistic) about superdeterminism. Apparently under this framework the whole notion of "explaining things" is nullified and becomes meaningless. It occurs to me that our everyday notion of "explaining things" exists at a lower abstraction level and thus loses relevance in the face of superdeterminism. I believe if you really want to undermine superdeterminism as a theory (or as a philosophy), the more relevant question here to ask is: is there anything useful/meaningful about reality (or the universe) that can be inferred assuming superdeterminism? And then of course if you are a scientist you would then ask: are they experimentally verifiable?
Definitely an important thing to remember. I wonder what percentage of people out there are effectively "read-only" with regard to the public internet, never signing up for accounts (other than personal stuff like email) or leaving comments on news stories.

> Besides video games you could add movie rentals and sales, tv show rental and sales, music sales, PPV events, book sales, Steam...

Can you be more specific? I know plenty of places to rent 'A' movie for example. I also know plenty of alternative to Steam on PC, yet none on iOS device.

If you talked about games on console that can't be 'A' rated. I would agree completely that it's wrong and I'm pretty sure that almost everybody would agree. We just don't care about not being to play 'A' game on console.

If you do care, believe me, I would gladly say that what you are doing is positive. I won't say, well what about X other place that doesn't allow something else.
My favourite idea for fixing the cost of tertiary education, is for universities to "buy a stake in you".

i.e. You apply for Course X and the university quotes you Y% of your income for the next Z many years. Say 15% for 15 years over say a £20k floor.

Better students get a lower percentage. Courses with poor prospects get punished with having to publish higher percentages before you get in the door. You as the student decide whether the quality of a university and their facilities, outweighs say an extra percentage etc etc.

Aligning the goals of the university and the student is beneficial in other ways as well. If 7 years down the line the field your course pointed you towards implodes and you're laid off - well the university could offer a free course/masters to retrain in a subject that'll get you back earning for them.

I always thought this was the default way of watching TV shows, which is why I was surprised as an adult by many people seeming detached from what they're watching and unable to immerse themselves in the plot.

> Watching TV with friends becomes more enjoyable too!

My experience is the opposite. Unless those friends are also going all-in like me, watching anything that has even a smudge of a plot becomes irritating very quickly, as people around me keep breaking the immersion. For many of the TV shows and movies I watch, I try to at least get the first watch alone, so that I can enjoy the full experience.
> You reach a point where if nearly everyone is blackmail-able for the same thing, that it stops becoming effective.

That's not true, because it requires a further massive step (that is unlikely to occur): all people must be similarly revealed to be doing the thing in question.

You'd have to know that everyone is cheating on their spouse; everyone would have to have max knowledge / transparency. Until then, the ones that get revealed will get judged by those not yet revealed. In my observation, people tend to be very comfortable with being a hypocrite, right up to the point where they're burned by it.

And further, if there's even a small detail that is different, the crowd will use that detail as the point of differentiation to say that they're not as bad as some other person.

If you have 100 people all surfing the same porn, and only one of them gets publicly revealed for the behavior, most of the remaining 99 people - assuming individual separation - will pretend they're not doing the same thing. They'll ostracize or harshly judge the person that got revealed publicly, pretend they're not doing the same thing, and go on doing the same thing in private. This behavior seems to repeat essentially non-stop among people socially; you see it in the news, with politicians or celebrities, with scandals, in various group behavior, among friends & family, et al.

Also, some people who are wheelchair users, who require an accessible wheelchair stall, experience severe autonomic dysreflexia if they are unable to empty their bladder and/or bowels right away!

Trust me, it is just about the worst feeling in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autonomic_dysreflexia

There is nothing like the feeling of your head about to explode, plus the worst feeling of doom possible, plus your blood pressure surging, and seeing spots. Afterwards, even after you relieve yourself, you are completely washed out and feel terrible for the rest of the day. Like "I got run over by a truck terrible" (no exaggeration).

By the way, there are people who can walk who experience this too. So don't just assume that it is only wheelchair users who experience it.

Just know that restrooms/toilets/bathrooms, especially accessible stalls, need to be open to the public, not only for human dignity, but for the small subset of people who absolutely have to relieve themselves at any given moment. It is, no question, life threatening.

It is actually shocking that the general public does not realize this. The same goes with the fact that wheelchair and/or mobility device users definitely require disabled parking for safety reasons, as they can easily be in a driver's blind spot.
A good analogue is how certain TV shows (I'm thinking of Househunters, because I'm an addict) run one episode into another without a commercial break. You don't even notice you're on a new episode until you're already 60 seconds into it and hooked.

No, data versioning typically does not solve this problem unless you are completely isolated from everything else. Consider the case where you're pulling data from a database to use for training a model. Typically DS teams have no control over the backup schedule for that database, how long those backups are maintained, etc. For large systems, if you try to restore a backup 3 or 6 months down the road, you may only have a weekly snapshot (if even that frequent) to use. Certainly that won't give you the same data that you originally had. Admittedly, a team that was strongly focused on reproducibility could try really hard to ensure that their queries are reproducible, but if you want to be productive you typically delegate most of that work to other libraries which may or may not generate reproducible queries.

It seems to me that people working on really large-scale problems always have these external dependencies that they just can't control and subsequently data versioning only goes so far when you cannot make a full-copy of the data for each version.

I agree with you in general that we should strive for reproducibility.

There are people who only tip good money in restaurants when the waitor is not so good looking, to counter balance this tendency for many people. Looks should not matter when it comes to serving food (although they seem to do in reality).

When the product/service is based on people's good looks (e.g. models in adverts, Hollywood movies), the story would be different. The online streamers probably belong to this category to some extent, because people do like looking at beautiful people.

Do you have any examples of google or facebook claiming to be a "carrier"?
"companies would have to limit users to 30 minutes of use per day by default. Users would be allowed to choose their own time limits for daily and weekly use, but companies would have to reset that time limit to half an hour every single month, as well as providing 'conspicuous pop-up' displays at least once every 30 minutes showing how much time you have spent using a service in the past day, across all devices."

It wasn't the 'only' nuclear gun, it was only nuclear gun used. The US had many other 280mm, 203mm and 410mm cannons that were able to fire nuclear shells in their inventory from 1953-1992, and the russians developed a number of nuclear artillery shells that were (at least officially) not used in tests, but remained in the inventory for use.
This would basically make art degrees and history degrees unattainable except for the rich. Not that I mind, but that is the complaint you'll get with this system.
There's nothing wrong with your article as a tutorial on using CometChat. I think it was only problematic because of the lack of context here. For example, it assumes I know what CometChat is, but it's a blog post on cometchat.com, so that seems more than fair.

If it had been posted to Hacker News with a title like "Getting Started With CometChat and Vue," it would have been more clear. Posted to Hacker News under the title "Build a Vue Chat App" made me think it contained instructions on how one might build a chat app or perhaps a war story about someone who tried to build a chat app on Vue but ran into some interesting technical problems.

The tutorial itself actually looks pretty good. I appreciate the GitHub repo with clear "how to run this" instructions at the top and big, explanatory screenshots underneath.
Guy can be used in a gender-neutral sense, though it's not really good grammar. Most romance languages use male for a collective group; people often replicate this in English (though not always, as not all our words for groups carry gender). Some people then extend this back to the singular, i.e. "hey (many) guys" -> "hey (one) guy".

As somebody who built some stuff with microservices before, I think the key is, that you don't view any architectural pattern as a silver bullet. All things come with their own trade offs.

It can make totally sense to break out certain parts into their own microservices if you thought long and hard about the interface and which data is going to be passed around – but if you break things out into their own microservices just for the heck of it, you will end up in a very messy mess quickly.

Using microservices to solve problems which don't demand them is similar to using OOP patterns in places where they are known to bring pain: you are holding a hammer and you think the world is made of nails.

That beeing said I am sure this has nothing to do with the real practicality of the underlying patterns, it just shows how easy people can lie to themselves.
Re:Branching, having lived this, monorepos are very much a blessing, not a curse.

If software is big enough to force considering monorepos, then cross-cutting dependencies will happen, and then one diffable long-lived monobranch is much better than a bunch of interleaved ones.

Incrementally building, landing, etc., cross-cutting deps becomes much less of a slog. Ex: skip concerns about versioning of _internal_ APIs.

The other issue I had was the sleight-of-hand on build modules. Yes, you don't need good devs to speed up incremental builds b/c you can search/build in each project. But if you want to run 20 modules together to test/experience them, good luck, esp. for interactive modes. (Congrats, you reinvented the monorepo!)
They set an extremely high price in advance and give discounts based on that information. So unless you can afford the fully fund that price out of pocket, you have to come to the table and get gov't help, which then requires the disclosure. And this is across the entire system, so it's not like you can go to a differently behaving entity.
> First: everyone is already at risk for everything that P0 finds. The difference is no one if publicly talking about the flaws or the risk in the open.

You don't see how the risk might increase when more people learn about the vulnerability?

> Second: P0 never “immediately places people at risk” because they always follow responsible disclosure.

What? They provided proof-of-concept exploits just one week after the patch was provided. That's apparently not "immediate" in the eyes of security researchers, but try asking the average user if that's enough time to expect them to update.

> P0 has a well documented and frankly fairly conservative policy before anything is publicly disclosed.

Yes, and it could be worse, but it's also not great and could also be better.

> Do vendors want more time to fix things? Sure, they always will.

That was never my argument. I never said they should get more time to fix things.

> Do P0 disclosures sometimes happen publicly before the vendor has things fixed? Yes, Occasionally.

Again, I was specifically NOT arguing about disclosing before the patch is provided.

> However, looking at the net, P0 has provided far more value than they detract with public disclosure of flaws

And I never singled out P0 or claimed otherwise. I'm disputing the entire practice by whomever is practicing it.

Interesting. What I meant by "old waterfall companies" is that there's a few businesses in town that write enterprise software, oracle, etc, for fortune 500s. Those tend to not be kind to their developers, and have been around for a while.

Currently I work for an agency that really does neither. :-D

But I think you're right, the methodology doesn't matter nearly as much as the managers.
The examples you provide are more exaggerated than I am saying. Even your greatest role models have probably genuinely thought harm to others in flashes of anger, done things to people that they later regret, have their moments of genuine cruelty to other. But interacting with them doesn't mean you get a list of all their sins and insecurities at the time, and neither are you obligated to them, which makes them seem untarnished by all their bad things they done, thought, believed, so on and so forth. And they won't tell you either, not until you get to really know them.
It's disclosed so that the customers know what the vulnerability is. Sometimes patching is not the best thing to do for a given situation. Other mitigations might be possible, or it might not even be an issue depending on how the software is used. Criminal researchers might have found this information anyway, so it's only fair to put the customers on an equal footing.
> If they're harming the competitor's reputation by exposing a legitimate flaw in the competitor's product, I don't think that causes societal harm, no.

The act of rapid public disclosure compels the target to shift resources and focus to respond to those potential dumps. This can negatively impact the company's strategically and put them in damage control mode.

In the case of Apple, they're not the dominant platform and are trying to pivot to be seen as the the secure and private platform. Google is damaging their credibility with that pivot by investing in finding vulnerabilities in their products and rapidly disclosing them.

Short term this could improve the product but long term it could damage Apple's reputation and further diminish their market share and solidifying Google's.

If Google were funding an independent research team tasked with securing the internet and platforms for the greater good that would be fine. But that isn't Project Zero. Project Zero is a weapon wielded by a company trying to protect it's monopoly.

I'd have to agree, I took a couple community college classes over the summer (I was enrolled in a 4-year college) to get some credits out of the way.

WOW, the classes were so much easier than what I would expect from high school classes. It was honestly shocking they were giving out college credit.

Or they might not have, in which case you just gave them a pretty powerful weapon, and it's pretty unfair to customers??

Are you sure "because maybe you shouldn't the patch" is their logic here? (Which doesn't even necessitate this either, but everything I've seen indicates they want you to patch immediately.)
