Also Germany. At the end of WWII, Germany was bombed out, whole cities were flattened. 20 years later (according to my mom who lived there in the early 60s), you couldn't even tell a massive war had ever taken place there. Some of that was the Marshall Plan providing funding, but the rest was a society that actually pulled together and got stuff done instead of being mired in corruption or infighting. Japan was largely the same way. Meanwhile, 80 years later, America can't even keep its bridges from falling down.
In the U.S. yes, I'm from the EU though where there's a similar insurance (EDIS) which has a 100k EUR limit.

AWS' compliance model isn't a magic wand that makes your crappy app's XSS vulnerabilities go away. The real question: do you think AWS will try to push responsibility for a breach to their customers unjustly?

If you don't adhere to the shared responsibility model and a contractor checks long lived IAM credentials into Github, that breach is definitely attributable to you and you deserve all the "blame" you get.

But if someone figures out how to trick AWS' IAM into issuing credentials that allow PHI to be pulled out of S3, do you think that gets passed along to a customer?

It's on overcorrection to the naive optimism that surrounded the internet for 10+ years. I also think all these journalists have this dream that their story/essay is going to be the one that makes everyone come back to craving long form journalism / newsprint again which is even more naive.
Every 'creative' app I've used on IOS has been disappointing. Even if the GUI is decent touch detection is so imprecise that its always super easy to fat-finger things. FLStudio vs FL mobile, for example

When I was younger I thought it would be cool to DJ with a three-iPad setup-- two ipads acting like a turntable/CDJ and a third acting as a mixer. Nowadays, putting on my performer hat, I would hate that setup as I feel like I would be fighting with the touch interface. I'll take real buttons and knobs on dedicated hardware any day of the week.

The financing of long-term Public Goods has to be one of the best arguments for government debt there is.

I'm not against debt[0] so much as I like interesting units and metrics. If you want to compare debt levels of different countries across history getting the local currency to cancel out means no converting 1870 dollars to 2019 dollars, no converting 1920 Yen to 1995 Azerbaijani Manats, etc.

The fact that Debt-to-GDP reduces to years, even if it's unclear what that means, lets us make years-to-years comparisons and makes charts like this possible[1].

I’d say it’s probably more like some kind of checksum against the DNA. If the body detects something has been changed from what was there before it dispatches the white blood cells to kill it off. Immunosuppressants are a way to bypass the checksum, but only for some limited time. Maybe we need a way to change the checksum values altogether, but then the whole body could be rendered rejected and cease to function (death).
Yet they often have a higher quality of life, universal access to social services, and afford the general public longer periods of economic stability relative to the shitshow the US descends into every 4-8 yrs.

Perhaps innovative business (which I translate to “how to enrich myself via an ephemeral finance system without adding much new utility” these days”) isn’t a great target for governments to enable.

Social pressure downward to abide the desires of a minority of elites before the public used to be called authoritarianism, and it used to be reviled. Just because it lacks the overt violence of yesterday doesn’t mean it isn’t manipulative and damaging to society.

Inflation is basically necessary at this point in order to collapse the various asset bubbles without causing a mass default spiral on the debt issued to finance it. The housing crisis is a good portion of this; we cannot build our way out of housing without putting homeowners underwater on their mortgages en masse, and young people cannot tolerate the current trends of housing prices near areas of economic opportunity indefinitely. The only way out of this double-bind is to inflate away homeowner's mortgage debt as we make more available housing to prevent housing prices from inflating along the general trend.
I agree. I'm guessing that, at least for many folks, they didn't know the context, and assumed that the more positive statements are the result of naivete or ignorance.

Actually a lot of progress has been made, except in China, which has increased emissions to the point of reversing all other progress globally.

By comparison, US carbon has been going down since 2007, despite a growing population and economy. Per capita it's been declining for over four decades.

China now emits more than the US and EU combined, despite having much, much less economic output.
Sea level rise under the "business as usual" RCP 8.5 scenario is 0.5 to 1 meter by 2100. Combined with increased storm intensity and existing subsidence rates, and this a very large increase that will swamp many lower lying cities, including much of the area where I work today.

"You'll long be dead" applies to the elderly politicians currently driving policies and laughing/mocking young climate activists. But the young climate activists like Greta or younger probably WILL be alive by 2100. Most of my children will still be alive by then, and when (if) I have grandchildren, they definitely will.

I think it's absurd to not give a crap about the fate of my children.

"Relax, you'll be long dead" is a statement contingent on the generation. The Boomers and older, who hold the vast majority of the world's wealth, have the least at stake while the young people currently striking have the most at stake. Climate denialism is basically an economic war on the young.

I think Intel has been too dominant for too long. They've gotten complacent and sloppy, as shown by microcode-level vulnerabilities like Spectre and Meltdown.

Yep. Dell's website will always show a sales price. Even better, use a different browser or refresh a hour later and the price will change as well. Even Lenovo and HP do it.
The best is when you enter the configuration for a PC build and hit refresh and you see individual items change in prices.

Also if you go via a Dell sales rep you easily get 10% extra off that "sales price" for low volume buyers and if you are a large volume buyer you can easily get as much as 50% off the list price even for high ticket value items.

IP addresd is the big one, but there are other things that let you narrow down users on the same IP or a user switching between IPs, like tracking cookies, identification of which subset of hardware your GPU falls into based on how it renders some WebGL stuff (which can sometimes allow identification of a specific model of phone, especially when combined with other fingerprinting methods), specifics of screen size, what plugins/extensions you have installed at specific version numbers, etc. Tor only directly addresses the IP point, but the Tor browser should be disabling that other leaky browser stuff as well. I think they were accidentally leaking IPs through WebRTC a while back, or something like that, and I'm sure there will be more issues going forward.

It is statements like this that make me think you troll. This statement doesn't matter. Physical you and digital you aren't blackout drunk the entire time. At some point they should be forming memories. You're bringing in a contrarian point of view to prove your own. Which no one is arguing that self is hard to define. That's not the conversation going on here.

> self is not an objectively definable property, but rather a fluid construct of the mind.

Self can be defined and a fluid construct. Here's an easy way to think of self. You recognize that you are not the chair you are sitting on. That the chair is different from you. My cat recognizes this kind of self. Such things like that I am not her and that another person is neither me nor her (this is a different level of self recognition than the classic mirror test tests. This is as basic as it gets). The self is the instantaneous thing having the experiences.You do not see through your clones eyes. You DID see through the 10 year old's eyes though. It does not matter that recall isn't perfect, you still had the exact same experiences as that 10 year old, but you don't have the exact same experiences as the clone (you're not looking through your clone's eyes and experiencing from their body).

I met my wife on the Amtrak dining car! Political conversation with 3 other strangers turned into the most important relationship in my life.

That’s a fascinating story. That’s how I learned of it because the wallpaper in my hotel bathroom was in English and French and Dutch and had these factoids about Netherlands. One was the stock corporation thing and the stock exchange.

Another bit I learned was how the Dutch stopped Napoleon by flooding their country.

> Yeah, this is one tired trope.

this sentiment is illustrative of the world that the internet has created. on the internet, you never have to deal with something that bores you -- you can always open a new tab and do something else.

in the real world, unfortunately, the same old annoying stuff keeps coming up, and you have to keep dealing with it. like... i'm going to have to brush my teeth twice a day for the rest of my life, there will never come a time when i can just stop watching what i eat, and i'm going to have to keep dealing with the consequences of social media, including talking about it's effects, making choices about it, and convincing my friends and anyone who will listen to make choices about it, no matter how old and annoying it may have become.

one thing that gives me energy on stuff like this (by stimulating my brain) is to use my imagination. what i mean is, it seems like we've talked this subject to death, but nothing's really changed so far. maybe a slight shift in public opinion, maybe people don't assume technology must be good quite so readily as before. but try to imagine what the world could look like.

reality has this oppressive weight that restricts your thinking. "this is how the world is, so this is how it must be; in fact, this is good simply for existing. anyone who questions it doesn't get it.". it's much harder to imagine a counterfactual better world. for instance, what if instead of clumping into like-minded herds that re-enforce each other's ideas even when wrong, people on the internet connected with others who are really unlike them most of the time (maybe through something like airbnb)? or, what if there was a group/agency charged with maintaining factual accuracy on the internet (this idea comes from a novel called infomacracy). or, what if you could get people to connected better in real life (like the bash' in "too like the lightning"). imagining different worlds gives you a lens through which to critique the current one, and also gives you something to work towards.

You know what upsets me the most? That you're still not reading.

> RMS is the first person I wouldn't expect to understand any of the unspoken obviousnesses of the situation, such as being able to deduce, in the moment, why a child prostitute would be presenting herself as willing

RMS did precisely that - showed the understanding by assuming the child was coerced. You seem to be actually arguing here that she was willing.

> Regardless, that doesn't cover how he used it at the time to excuse Minsky allegedly sleeping with her, because this supposed witness wasn't openly known.

He didn't excuse him. On the contrary, he assumed the accusations were true. Let me quote his own words:

> The accusation quoted is a clear example of inflation. The reference reports the claim that Minsky had sex with one of Epstein’s harem. (See https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/9/20798900/marvin-minsky-jef...) Let’s presume that was true (I see no reason to disbelieve it).

He did not defend Minsky from accusation of having sex with a minor. He only wanted to make sure the accusation doesn't get inflated in public perception from "had sex" to "applied violence to have sex". That's literally all he wanted. Whether or not that was needlessly pedantic or inappropriate at the moment, it is strictly not true that he defended Minsky against accusation of sex.

Let me reiterate, even though RMS was as clear as humanly possible here - he was not defending the act of sleeping with that woman, he was only trying to stop the alleged sex being inflated into accusations of physical violence.

> people jump to the defense of a 66 year man that does this, as if he shouldn't have learned by now how not to act like this, even with impairments

You're assuming a lot. How about, people jumping to the defense of a person who has been subject of an Internet which hunt based on purposeful misinterpretation, later turned into explicit lies in the media headlines? Some people do not like RMS, but hate lies more.
The issue on Smalltalk 80 was that diffing and combining images was a huge pain. There wasn't a clear seperation between the system itself and whatever you were working on. On top of that, Smalltalk VMs generally assumed that they were the only Smalltalk VM running on a given system so it's not like you could run the different apps like different containers or processes, or whatever. Additionally Smalltalk pretty heavily encouraged making modifications to the system classes as part of the porting process.

So, not the OP, but my answers to your questions:

>What do you mean "classes strewn around everywhere" ?

It was rarely clear where your classes ended, and the system ones began, which got in the way of distribution, particularly if you wanted to run on different hardware. It was surmountable, but a pain in the ass compared to Unix (which is not really the world's highest bar, particularly at the time).

> Do you mean you never know what non-smalltalk code would be running on the same machine as the smalltalk code ?

> Why would that be a problem ?

It's what's versus running in the same VM image, including modifications to the system classes themselves. There's no good boundary between apps other than they don't have references to eachother.

>Why would that be more of a problem with a Smalltalk image than with .pyo ?

Because a .pyo only has the classes that pertain to what it's trying to do, and doesn't stop you from running other python instances at the same time. Imagine if there was only one python vm allowed to run at once, the source was an afterthought (and considered not idiomatic), and pyos were basically just memory dumps each with their own unique monkey patching of system classes.

There's a good chance that squeak/pharo have done work to address this, but that was the state of the world for Smalltalk 80. It was designed right at the cusp of collaboration on design of personal computer apps, and it shows in the overall design.
