And, yet, it's still possible. Your stance denies the existence of people figuring out how to do it and people's ability to reconnect. I know they're out there because I've met some. It's that simple. Your perspective is hyperbolic and disempowering, so it can't possibly be true (unless someone chooses to believe it, in which case, they're disempowering themselves). I'll continue to tell people everywhere that it's possible to reconnect with nature, even if they live in the void of space.

The mind is a powerful tool and if people believe they can use it to reconnect, they're much more likely to find a way to. When it comes to subjective experiences, it's important to engage cognitive biases in the direction we want them to go. Beliefs are useful for that, so we need to choose them wisely. Telling people they're not capable of accomplishing things is only helpful if they're rebelling against you because then they'll take it as a challenge. For others who are already in a disempowered state, they could use your message as reinforcing their stuck perspective. I choose to view life in such a way as to promote change and well-being, not get me or anyone else who hears my perspective stuck in it.
Windows comes with an ftp client? Not that I know of. Unless you mean MS Edge? Oh or I guess there's a command line one. It's not integrated into Windows Explorer, though.
You can actually navigate FTPs (and transfer files) with Explorer too. Quite handy when you don't have an dedicated client installed.
Billiard-Ball Computer
Yeah, I think multiplexing commands and data was probably not as well solved a problem as it is now.

Having worked with ssh/scp/sftp, I think sftp could be better too, and therefore more useful.

It's intimately entwined with ssh, which means that instead of just transferring files, you have to give out ssh permissions where they're not required.

Really, there should be an sftp client and server, strictly dealing with files.

- You could have "accounts" that weren't real users on the machine

- You wouldn't have to deal with users and shells and groups and permissions

- You wouldn't have users running commands on your machine

- You could have read-only sftp (sort of a repository with access controls)

- You could have write-only sftp (sort of a dropbox)

- You could make these formal, with daemons like read-only-sftpd or write-only-sftpd that were securely purposed to prevent unexpected file operations.
Sure, that's fair. I said visual design, but I think I might have meant more simply "look". Design implies some intentionality, but it felt like the commentary was focused simply on how it looked and not how that actually impacted the design. For example, the resolution of the pin graphic doesn't really impact the design significantly.
Just out of curiosity, how many kanji would you need to know for 98% coverage?

Windows Explorer can navigate (and transfer files) on FTPs. Type "ftp://ip.addr.of.ftp" in explorer and you're in. :-)
But compare BMW ICE sales of similarly priced vehicles to Tesla and it's not even close.

BMW and the rest of the big makers have no reason to push electric car sales and increase electric R&D over the more profitable ICE models.

Same goes for the dealers. They are the ones stealing sales and they make their money on service. Which will be less with electrics.

Right now, if you want the best electric car all other factors be damned, you get a Tesla.

But the miniscule amount of sales that Tesla has compared to the large manufacturers indicates that market is still exceedingly small.

What incentive does BMW have to compete with Tesla? At the very best, they build an electric that blows the Tesla out of the water and take 100% of Tesla's sales. That amounts to about one month of their current revenue.

Perhaps when demand for electrics at that price points really takes off, they will be caught flat footed without a competitive product. But that day is yet to come and the full weight of their R&D apparatus and sales force remains to be seen when it comes to electrics.

Same goes for all the other big manufacturers.
Why not

Personally I would love it, but people are so accustomed & feel so entitled to cheap meat you might just spark violent revolution.
How is that possible if you're comparing the same data loaded on the client vs the server? Server has a faster Internet connection and connects to the DB directly (not over HTTP).

Sure, clients load "faster" if you mean they don't actually load everything. Apples to oranges.

If a page needs to make 5 DB queries to present a bunch of data, those 5 DB queries will be faster on the server than from the browser. So will parsing the response and transforming it into HTML.
Not really, because there's an implied capacity for offsetting carbon. That's what it costs now, but as more people participate, the cost will undoubtedly go up.

> Ryanair flights for ten quid where the carbon tax might well whack up the cost by orders of magnitude.

It would be nowhere near that amount. I used a flight estimator which says a return flight from London to Malaga would emit 0.3 tonnes of CO2.

Project Wren charges $10 - $20 per tonne, so it would cost the same as the ticket at most, even including the cut Ryanair inevitably would take. If you take a more normal ticket price, it would be an insignificant extra.
The fastest route to MUA support is compatibility with existing MDAs like procmail, maildrop, and the like. At the very least a JMAP client that populates a local Maildir would get you Thunderbird, Evolution, mutt, and more.

I use prezto's 2-3 letter aliases. But that doesn't help when I run `git reset --hard` (or gwR) and erase changes I don't know exist.

I wish I could move HEAD to a different commit (git reset), and apply (new HEAD - old HEAD) to my working directory (--hard), but abort if working directory != old HEAD.

In fact, this sounds like `git reset --keep`, but unfortunately prezto doesn't have an alias for that.

I don't like prezto's git-reset aliases. gwr is "move HEAD", gir is "move HEAD and reset index", and gwR is "move head, reset index, and reset working directory". I wish gwr was renamed to ghr, and maybe gar (git apply reset) for --keep.
Just crawl, and then disregard sites that have certain scripts present.
Whales, and supersized cargo ships, are both enabled by much the same dynamics:

- Widely separated, highly-beneficial, feeding grounds.

- Exceedingly efficient onboarding systems.

- No credible predators.

This enables long hull shapes, high speeds, few resources devoted to defence, and exceptionally efficient metabolisms.

A blue whale eats 8,000 - 16,000 kg/day of krill, or 7-15 million calories. That's a continuous energy output of 350 - 700 kW, or about 500 - 1,000 horsepower.

Cargo ships, whether liquid, bulk ore, or container, load and unload tremendous amounts of cargo quickly (the Iranian tanker in the news today carries 2.1 million barrels of oil, a $115 million cargo, which it can load or unload in a matter of hours).

In a world where ships cannot simply sail direct routes to destinations, must detect and evade, or defend against assaults, or risk capture or loss, transport logistics will become vastly more complex, and costs far greater.

Patterns of things to look for in a code review
I knew someone who did content moderation for BlackBerry (née RIM) back when BBM was huge. Any platform that enables communication can be used for illegal and horrible content. What’s changed is the fidelity. The worst I heard of on BBM at the time was images such as illicit/child pornography and human trafficking (via text). The ability to share high res video means the horror today is more visceral for those that have to watch it.

Having said that, there’s no excuse for how Facebook and their subcontractors treat the people doing this job. They can easily afford to do better.
I don't think it's that straightforward. Stuff like planting trees should have the cost/ton go down over time due to scale (there's a land question but there's a _lot_ of federally owned land). A lot of other stuff could work similarly.

Mass production is a thing that brings costs down, so some of the carbon offset programs could take advantage of similar effects.

You're definitely right that some of these projects aren't infinitely scalable though. There are only so many gas stoves used in northern Uganda to be replaced..

777 of the most popular kanji from general Japanese might not be useful for work emails, but if you find the top 777 from a corpus of your own emails, it might be.

It's not hard - I've done this before using a corpus made up of work documents. There's a part-of-speech analysts tool called mecab that gives the word stems, and makes it easy to find word boundaries (since Japanese doesn't use spaces).

The output went into Anki and it didn't take long before I was reading emails and documents at work fairly easily.

It's not practical to ship different browsers tuned for different points on the spectrum

For the longest time, that's how it was. The browser at one end was called Chrome, and the one at the other was called Firefox.

while on the other hand you want to prevent uneducated users from screwing themselves over by accident

As the saying goes, "Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."

The whole "protect the users" mentality is IMHO misguided and dangerous, because it's basically one individual or a small group making the argument that taking away individual freedom (and thus giving more control to those in power) is "better for everyone". The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Incidentally, that's how a lot of dystopian sci-fi looks like...
And there is still a lot of Disney owned content on Netflix that will presumably dry up soon.

I'm sure the market is uncertain how that will affect viewership. Could hurt them more or less than expected.
Frankly, I take the opposite view. Code that is not supported from a developer standpoint should be deprecated. If an organization doesn't want to spend the resources to support part of a code base, I support excising that part of the code base from the product. Especially in open source, others are free to fork.

Tesla Model 3 outsold BMW 2, 3, 4 and 5 series combined. What BMW that is similarly priced to a Model 3 am I missing? The only BMWs that are still selling well are the SUVs.

I think your narrative is 3 years out of date. BMW is dying at the hands of Tesla in the US right now, along with all the other “premium” carmakers.

When the Model Y starts shipping, I imagine X3 and X5 sales will likewise be hit quite hard.

I noticed that it takes very little to understand what a conversation is about, but understanding the specifics is a different story entirely.

For example if you just understand the word "car" and the name of a place, it most likely is related to traffic. If that's coming from someone arriving late you can bet he is finding excuses ;)

That's a reason why you shouldn't bad mouth foreigners if they can hear you based on the premise that they don't understand the language. They may not be able to converse with you but they can still get the general idea.
83 plants over twenty years means that we first need to scale up production capabilities for things like pressure vessels (they need gigantic forges to make) because we can even think about building hundreds and hundreds of nuclear power plants in the next twenty years. We also need to train engineers to staff them.

I think there's significant equivocation going on here regarding the word "reasoning". Automated theorem proving is no more like human reasoning than a steam engine was like John Henry.

All the stuff you talk about is rigid and omits the thing that makes human "reasoning" valuable - context switching.

I think technical people are often blind to this because they don't do very much of it themselves, but it's the fundamental thing that makes people different from machines, and complementary.
> OCP uses a pool of quasi-kernel threads

Is there any further documentation for it? I would have expected there doesn't need to be a real stack. Only state-machines for all the IO entities (like sockets) which get advanced whenever an outside event (e.g. interrupt) happens and which then signal the IO completion towards userspace. Didn't expect that it's necessary to keep stacks around.

I was flying about a year ago and was messing with the in flight entertainment in a 787. It was pretty easy to figure out how to get to a boot menu in the in flight entertainment. I was thinking "huh, this seems like maybe a way in". Seeing how the in-flight displays navigational data it must be on the network as the flight systems. I'm sure there is some kind of segregation but its probably not ultimately secure.
> I'm of the mindset that code written 20 years ago should run today.

I'm of the mindset that it should be possible to rub code written 20 years ago, but not always the same way you run code written more recently. Emulation, virtual machines etc all allow access to old work without hobbling future development with backwards compatibility concerns (see: Windows).

In this case, there are plenty of free and open source options for FTP clients. No one is going to have the world closed off to them as a result of this.
Second best reason to move away from Chrome.
They can always sell dollars in foreign exchange for other currencies, local currencies or gold or bitcoin.

The reason they hold $ is a 'belief in our currency won't inflate' (by monetizing debt) which implies 'belief in our debt' If China is a net exporter to Argentina or Venezuela, rest assured they are selling those currencies as fast as they can

> I'm of the mindset that code written 20 years ago should run today.

It's OK if some of the more antiquated parts of the web die off. I don't want to have to support old Flash loading screens, I don't need AOL instant messenger status badges, or iFramed in MySpace comments, and I don't need to open FTP in my browser. Most users these days wouldn't even know how to use this via browser... ftp://myname:mypassword@123.123.123.123... it's just a relic.

Anyone who wants to use FTP knows how to download a program for it. We don't need it in Chrome.
Shipping heavy grain around the world is terrible for the environment.
Google has a nasty habit of making solid features/apps available for everyone, then building an in house device/service that can use said feature, then making that feature exclusive to their new service in an attempt to drive consumers to it. In the end they just piss people off and whatever they were trying to do fails.

The latest update to chrome on Android in the last few days removed support for 90/120hz devices. Now everyone who was enjoying a nice smooth chrome experience on the OnePlus 7 pro, Razer phone, etc. has a nice jarring switch to 60hz when they open chrome.

This happened at the exact same time as they announced the new pixel 4 would be a 90hz phone, with exclusive 'smooth display'. Bleh.
I've noticed the same where I can understand the basics of a Japanese program if there's subtitles. But there are some oddities like 食 being used in a verb (as in 食べる) or 行 as to go. But you still have good context and can at least understand the topic in most cases.

You are not forced to work with assholes. Period.

> There are many reasons someone might want to stay in a crappy job.

Many reasons for choosing (or preferring) to stay, I never denied that.

> I have a friend who is staying in a shitty job because one of the perks of the job is reduced college tuition for her son, and that's more important to her than being happy at work.

A choice has been made here. The choice to STAY, and NOT LEAVE. It does not magically make it forced when it was a voluntary decision. Your friend preferred to stay in the shitty job because she valued reduced college tuition for her son more than she did not want to do the job. You said this yourself: "that's more important to her than being happy at work.". Exactly! Where is the "force" here? All I see is preferences and values.
> Don't care about FTP being insecure either.

Well, then its probably a good thing that you aren't a browser developer.
Check out the references part of this article:

What? Everyone has the option to leave, otherwise it is involuntary and IS slavery... if you are making the choice to stay, then it is not forced at all. There is always another option besides making the choice to stay. You are actually not forced to stay.

> Are you really equating someone choosing to remain at a job where they work with assholes to slavery?

No. If you are not allowed to leave, then it is slavery. Look at carefully what you have just said: choosing, indeed, that makes it voluntary, you are NOT FORCED to stay, you CHOSE to stay because of your preferences and whatnot.

Also a reminder: we were talking about "working with assholes", do not come up with scenarios where your future hypothetical individual will have ZERO opportunities, skills, etc. :)
I wish it wasn’t this easy to get crypto-scam SEO articles to the front page of Reddit and HN.
In some cases it may indeed be worth automating even when producing at low volumes:

* data mining or AI can analyze data sets better than all the humans you could possibly muster, data sets that can illuminate low volume but high impact decision making (new product need, safety critical alerts, incoming asteroids)
* robot surgical devices can perform more consistently (possibly higher efficacy) which is highly valuable even for low volume surgeries
* automated cars will be demonstrably safer even if overall demand for transportation declines
* demand for more specialized and lifelong education will increase even if the number of students decreases (career changes, working retirements, self-improvement, etc)
* automated solutions to climate change remediation (carbon sequestration, planting trees, etc) will likely scale well beyond manual labor options in an aging shrinking population and will be needed generations after the damage levels off
* space exploration requires automation even for just a single mission, and even a smaller population will likely continue to explore the solar system

I think imagination and adaptation will manage ok. In fact I would rather see capital deployed to less consumption by volume and more high value consumption. Would you rather eat a farm-to-table organic microgreens salad for dinner, or a bag of Wonder Bread?
