Facebook can't prevent people from using it via fake profiles, etc. that have the intent to bypass things. Unless we want Facebook profiles to always be official profiles (validated via government ID) - which the government would like.

France and Germany can entertain IP blocking these services and put laws in place for citizens to not use it. Interestingly though, this is exactly what a free country should not do I guess.
> The alternative to sending everything encrypted to Cloudflare is sending everything in plain text to your ISP and anyone else who wants to snoop on your DNS.

It's not the alternative. With DoH you are sending DNS queries, IP addresses, OS information and possibly even tracking cookies to Cloudflare over an encrypted channel, but Cloudflare still makes plain text queries to authoritative DNS servers from there. While your ISP's network is actually private, sometimes even encrypted, and sending plain text queries over it to its DNS servers is almost the same as having an encrypted channel. On top of that whether you use DoH to Cloudflare or not, your ISP sitll has the ability to spy on what websites you are visiting and in fact is what an ISP typically would use for that purpose anyway, not DNS data.
Our current capitalist system does not work without inflation.
There is a quibble to be made although in the main I'm quietly nodding and agreeing.

> none can afford to hold the more valuable currency due to the damage caused to export business.

So it is said, but there are more effective ways to prop up an export business. Eg, direct subsidies for strategically important sectors. Lowering currency value does help exporters, but it helps them by basically giving free goods and services to foreigners at the expense of someone else. The US lowering their currency doesn't result in a better deal for the US nation. It results in more goods and services leaving the country than is honestly justified for the amount of imports. Resources are misallocated away from US consumers to foreign consumers. Economically speaking, that is an own-goal.

The US debt-to-gdp is on a wartime footing [0]. Devaluing the currency favours debtors. A link between those two facts is more plausible than governments really believe giving goods & services away to foreigners is a path to prosperity. There is a broad economic philosophy that has taken root that debt funded consumption is to be encouraged and monetary policy is a key tool for that viewpoint.

These are not “controversial opinions.” Controversial opinions are things like “Chernobyl wasn’t that bad” or “abortion is murder.” This is just a guy defending the rape of children.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zooko%27s_triangle

There have been attempts at solving this through P2P DNS resolution. But, it's just hard to store all those records locally and keep them up-to-date regularly. Perhaps, we could cache and update records for the "popular" domains regularly and reach out to Cloudflare/other DoH or DoTLS providers when the tier 1 lookup fails?
The first thought that came to mind here was that emphasizing heritability will lead to racism, nepotism, sexism, inherited classism, etc. This is merely an observation independent of how strong heritability actually is.

Then I realized that the developmental / nurture model favored by most of today's intellectuals combined with brutal meritocracy does the same thing, but with a layer of personal blame and a huge quacky market for developmental aids of dubious effectiveness.

The fundamental issue is that society has become much more competitive and stratified, with the easier middle class path vanishing. That is going to create brutal competitive stratification regardless of what model (heritability or nurture) best characterizes the rules of the game.

Yet paradoxically we are in an age of extreme abundance where goods, services, and money itself (low interest rates) are cheaper than ever before.

Abundance is creating scarcity. Something is very very wrong.
The younger generation need jobs the most, I think it's a dangerous precedent to set if there is no longer an expectation they can find a job. We're already seeing a breakdown in youth culture, attitudes to life, etc.. I know because I am part of that generation, all I see around me are people that believe there's no opportunity without some serious luck.

In the end, older people are worked to death and younger people struggle to progress past Walmart (and no, a degree or a programming gig should not be the some of the only options to jump into a career).
> but private security firms flourish.

not in EU they don't

also firms like Securitas mostly provide security services to enterprises, and gouvernements sites, not to citizens.

bad comparison example
The article itself barely touches upon the titular "stake." NPR inserts "election interference" and Smith is quoted in reference to personal data acquisition as a potentially dangerous wealth transfer/concentration.

Since election interference is widely reported and understood to have been an intel operation aimed at polarizing U.S. public opinion with legitimate and illegitimate information, I dont see how treebeard is irrelevant.

Sidenote: It's still unclear, to me anyway, just how effective the influence was. In these crazy times, I should clarify that I'm not denying it occured.
I don't like the term "polarization" because the reduction to a spectrum, much less a one-dimensional one with two poles, doesn't represent most issues well or at all, and even where it might be applicable, the reason why someone is "at one of the poles" matters a lot more than what opinion they have. Someone is adamantly against the death penalty as a result of a lot of weighing and reflection, and is able to argue their opinion, is very different from someone who just holds it because their peers do, and is unable or unwilling to think things through for themselves. So I'd say where people get "more radical" just by being exposed to different views that kind of shows there is something more than just deliberation going on, and that issue seems orthogonal to the world seeming more confusing and confused because we see more of it (which I agree plays a role).

And though I agree without reserveration that technology doesn't cause that per se, the way we use it for the most part (and which we seem to have accepted as the way to go, or at least as somehow unavoidable), turn things into headlines and TLDR and memes, and those into things to "share" or "like", seems like an already existing problem put on steroids to me.

If I can't tell, neither can the legitimate users. This makes queries that would out of the box rather hard.

> Older workers and younger workers are paid the same way - they agree on a salary when they start working and that's what they're paid.

When I was freshly out of university, it was easy to play various tricks on me, such as agreeing on a salary for 40 hours a week, and then convincing me to do a lot of unpaid overtime. (I am not even talking about using various dirty tricks; just asking me nicely would do, because I had no idea of value of my time and zero negotiation skills.) If you tried to do the same thing to me now, I would be much better at keeping my boundaries.
I think his importance as a "pillar of the community", in addition to his great expertise and breakout fame entitles him to being considered one of the greats, and inspirational to us little guys.

Perhaps a longer timeframe will change that, but at the moment it seems ok to me.

Nothing is unstoppable, nation states have militaries and intelligence services. Both can be very persuasive. Facebook is paying close to no taxes in the EU, so noone here has anything to lose from them simply disappearing.

Sounds alot like Uber. Pun intended
> Experienced high-quality marijuana users blend in a lot better.

Ah I think your point was originally lost on me but now it has landed. Visibly high == inexperienced, more inexperienced points to the notion that people come to the place in order to experience it (possibly among other things). I can see that and agree in that light.
>hating on Facebook is an excellent excuse for people to feel superior to the general population. "I know better than those ignorant proles, I wish they'd do what I think is best for them instead of what they want to do."

Ironic; that's the same ethos being espoused and implemented by those who run Facebook.

Assuming you're genuinely curious, some of Jon Skeet's achievements for which he has not received any SO karma include:

Noda Time - https://github.com/nodatime/nodatime/graphs/contributors
The C# Protobuf port - https://github.com/jskeet/protobuf-csharp-port/graphs/contri...

Noda time is one of the top 100 downloaded packages on nuget.

That's quite a significant contribution to the .NET open source ecosystem - especially for someone whose day job is programming Java at Google, so these are pure side projects (.

He also wrote C# In Depth which is one of the standards by which programming language books should be judged (up with books like K&R, JavaScript: The Good Parts, and Essential Java).
> but Mr Schwarzenegger says he can speak unaccented English, but he keeps his accent deliberately because it's what people expect of him.

Fix – Ubuntu 18.04 Workspace Grid Issue
Better, but still broken because in many cases the names also exist in the global DNS but should have different addresses, e.g. because they have port mappings from public addresses but you don't want to have to use hairpin NAT for local connections, or the local router doesn't support that.

It also implies that you're sending all queries for local names to an external provider when that otherwise wouldn't be happening.

"Providing for security is also inherent to sovereignty of nations, but private security firms flourish"

Security for a nation state is different to a security guard standing in a shop. Also I'm quite sure that nation states reserve the right to claim a monopoly on certain parts of the security industry. The monetary/security power is in being able to claim that monopoly, as your currency example shows, the nation state can allow certain behaviours, that doesn't mean it has to allow everything.
I didn’t downvote, because frankly I don’t care that much, but Affirmative Action is quite controversial and I believe she founded one of those initiatives. I think some people might be extra sensitive to anything even slightly associated with diversity. To be clear, I don’t take issue with her, I didn’t downvote, and she seems to be an incredibly accomplished developer. That can only be applauded, in my opinion.

Watch me get downvoted into oblivion for merely offering a theory :)
When StackOverflow was just getting started I was doing Java professionally. Jon Skeet contributed a ton of very helpful Java answers back then which helped me a lot. I only later learned hat he has written a book about C# and that he really was a C# expert - still he knew more about Java than most Java experts.

Add to that that he is really good at writing detailed and to the point answers and you know where his reputation comes from. I only met him once briefly at CodeKen in London but judging from that he is a nice guy too.
Certainly not ok, but very helpfuj.

I sure as shit will never, ever buy anything Lenovo. Pro or otherwise.
The Arnold Schwarzenegger example has always struck me as an example of how unforgiving people can be about accent. His English accent - the one he uses in public; I've no idea how he speaks off camera - is phenomenal. The vowels aren't located quite where you'd expect for someone who speaks a well groomed American "cable TV news" accent, but it has everything necessary to be perfectly comprehensible to virtually any fluent North American English speaker. Which is a heck of an accomplishment for any non-native speaker. And yet people still consider him "marked", somehow.

Also, the very idea of "unaccented English" bothers me. In any language that has more than one regional or socioeconomic accent, that's a loaded concept.

>I, for one, hope more engineers involved in fraud (eg VW), privacy breaches (eg Facebook) etc get tried and punished. It might help make programmers realize that yes, your work actually affects real humans and yes, you're partly responsible for getting it right.

You can't do this without a lot of ethical backing, supportive law resources, whistleblower protections, and better controls on letting people into the industry.

It will be an utter disaster if you don't have those protections.
Literally every single one in the UK. But it's not even supermarkets, pretty much every car park in this country works like this, I've even seen ones next to pubs and cinemas have that(made for a fun viewing of Alien + Aliens in a promotional re-release few years ago, the staff at the cinema were warning everyone that if you parked outside and are here to see both movies in one go you will be charged for overstaying as the time limit is 4 hours). And those fines are very much enforceable - as long as the conditions are listed in a public view the company can charge you for parking over the allowed time(it's a charge, not a fine technically).

What? Clear goals disappear?

Why? Here's the repo, clone it, set up the dev env, maybe connect to VPN to reach some test instances, here's the issue tracker, here's a ticket, explore it, see if it's reproducible, if yes, get to the root cause, solve it, get it reviewed, goto 10.

Naturally, this should lead to a lot of questions, but which part is not a clear step with clear goals? Plus in industry the employer has vested interest to make you efficient, because it pays you. It'll check up on you daily. (Or initially/constantly you will do pair programming, get mentoring, sprint retros, etc.)

And if you are stuck you can ask questions and there are usually domain experts right next to you.
I've never experienced being aware of two unrelated things at the same time so I definitely have a single-core consciousness.

At least in Spain there are some bank-sponsored apps (e.g. Bizum) that can be used to send money to people using their phone number as ID (if they have also an account in the system), and it's instantaneous. I think other European countries have similar systems.

That's the funny part when you mention specialized alloys. There's a whole bunch of people out there, even though they don't have a college degree, who have an amazingly keen sense and in-depth knowledge of these specialized alloys and how to manipulate them in the real world. These are the folks that get the high range salaries, for very good reason. Now, it may be unfair that I say no college degree. They do take classes and other courses. But that's where we try to make a difference between trade/vocational school and college.

While I do see the value in theoretical and academic knowledge. I really do. There's zero fucking reason to assume it's grander than practical/vocational knowledge. One of the few jokes I like out of the Big Bang Theory (fucking hate that show but my ex loved it), the group was driving out somewhere for some reason, but the car breaks down. Whoever the main guy was says "Who knows anything about internal combustion engines?". All of them start saying they know plenty, yada yada. "Who knows how to fix one?" Silence.

Both sides need each other, academic and vocational. Neither side can advance without the other. But I'll gladly be the one to rag on academics if they act superior to the tradesmen until that stupidity ends.
Nor is PayPal obliged to pay into deposit protection funds as EU banks are AFAIK. I think PayPal needs to start worrying about their standing in EU and becoming a collateral damage when France and Germany are on a roll to make a case for exercising currency sovereignty.
All of that rings true to me, but I think there's a corollary that if you're willing to pay people in accordance with the value of their depth of experience, and you can evaluate expertise without being biased by enthusiasm, and you can build a stable team that executes on a plan instead of requiring tons of overtime to scramble from emergency to emergency, and if you value choosing the right technologies for a problem over following trends, and if you don't have a toxic culture, then there is a treasure trove of people out there with experience and expertise, who you have less competition to hire.
> For one, he argues, it's time to reform the U.S. law that says Internet platforms are not liable for just about any of the content running through their pipes — hate speech, death threats and ads for counterfeit goods or illegal guns.

Only if it comes with full regulation of said platforms as publishers, which they would then be - and imo already are today.

Enough with this having it both ways.
Then why do we see the same trends over and over in history? Just because we're more technologically advanced today, I don't think we're any different as humans. There's survival instinct in all of us and denying it is just ignorant.

Since you disagree with the parent and are claiming the opposite as him (also without a citation), I decided to Google around for some actual data.

Here are some findings from a NBC/WSJ poll [0]...

> 57 percent of Americans say they agree with the statement that social media sites like Facebook and Twitter do more to divide the country

> Fifty-five percent believe social media does more to spread lies and falsehoods, versus 31 percent who say it does more to spread news and information

> Sixty-one percent think social media does more to spread unfair attacks and rumors against public figures and corporations, compared with 32 percent who say it does more to hold those public figures and corporations accountable.

> 82 percent say social media sites do more to waste people’s time, versus 15 percent who say they do more to use Americans’ time well.

> 60 percent saying they don’t trust the company at all to protect personal information

> 36 percent of adults view Facebook positively, while 33 percent see it negatively. And Twitter’s rating is 24 percent positive, 27 percent negative.

Forced sex work by one man, very unscrupulous behavior by the other. I do not believe he got tricked, just didn't care.

Different from raping a prostitute, for example. Not rape, not sexual assault, still terrible.

It's still terrible and should be gone, and the likes who do sex trafficking locked up for eternity.
The clients punished, yes, but not with the ultimate extent of sexual assault laws, unless it can be shown they were complicit in the scheme.
That's true. Though since TypeScript 2.8, you can use "conditional types".

The context is Epstein and RMS claiming that this woman trafficked by him was willing. We don't need to pontificate about all these hypothetical scenarios; this concrete thing that he's defending is pretty disgusting.
Mindfulness meditation is not the same as relaxation. Observing your mind and it’s responses to your days over and over can show you you aren’t resting enough and can enable you to stay calm when maybe your habit is to get worked up (tho it can also show you times you need to stay involved rather than shutting down) but it is in no way equivalent to a slow walk around a pond or playing a vid game for a whole day or sleeping late and rereading a favorite old book and then napping and then wasting a lot of time and ending up with some ice cream. Mindfulness takes a bit of effort mostly. Relaxing is stopping the effort for a bit. Both might be parts of a fulfilling life.
I'm always amazed that, in majority of cases, we use formal specifications -- like OpenAPI -- for documentation instead to guide our implementations. The common pattern is to build an API first, and then extract routing and validation information into an OpenAPI spec, which is then used to set up a test server for clients to develop on top on.

But if you have a relatively clear idea of what your API should look like, there are great benefits to be gained by providing the specification first. This way, you don't need for the API to be implemented to start developing the clients, even by completely unrelated teams. Second, your spec will already include your routing and validation rules, and there is no need to manually specify e.g. Pydantic models.

I recently wrote a PoC of a framework [0] that uses the OpenAPI spec to easily implement a REST(ful) API; in a nutshell, you need to implement endpoint functions that correspond to the spec's `operationId` names, and it will automatically route a request to the right endpoint. It is fully ASGI compliant and as has a bonus client module, which allows you to do the requests.
