What gender norm of either masculinity or femininity is healthy when taken to the extreme?

> those involved in the gender activist communities don't seem to allow such a thing as 'healthy masculinity' because it supposes there is something positive can be exclusively/predominantly masculine

What would you call people who would say that about femininity and feminine behavior? How do those views function together with the idea of gender equality, i.e. the state of valuing different behaviors, aspirations and needs equally, regardless of gender (definition copied from Wikipedia).
I'm interested in how many people actually use their Surface Book as a tablet.

I know a load of people with the standard Surface that use it like a tablet, but very few people that regularly use their Surface Book's detachable tablet functionality. I can probably count the number of times I've ever wanted to take the laptop apart on one hand.
> But then, it the nodes are backed by things "costly to create", or better "that everybody owns at most once" that seems fine.
> For example it could be backed by some verified social network accounts, or even mobile phone numbers, and if they are in the form of hashes even the anonymity would be preserved.

If you using some central authority to say who is a valid node and who isn't, which you would need for mobile phone numbers, then why bother with trying to decentralize at all? That same central authority can verify transaction are valid. No need for any of this peer validation stuff.

A central authority like that is possible, but I think it would be very hard to get something like that off the ground, in that the government would eventually shutdown whoever was processing mobile phone numbers. Even Facebook is having trouble getting their (centralized) Libra coin signed off by the various governments, and that is a half a trillion dollar company.

The inner-inner paper (the one referenced by the paper referenced by the paper) gets around this problem using a social network, where you have a neighbor Fred that you met in person, who has a Butcher Dave, and so on. This doesn't seem easy as well. PGP email encryption had the same sort of web of trust idea. There are even "signing" parties where a bunch of people get together to verify each others identity. But still, not many people have a PGP key, much less have it verified by the PGP web of trust: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signing_party

> PPS: the real cost of a Bitcoin node could also be considered the cost to operate it, that is to write a block, and that in turn is costly, which presents the problem and its solution in an elegant unified way.

Well, a node isn't necessarily a miner, and most aren't, actually. One purpose of a node that isn't a miner is to send out transactions on behalf of an individual owner of bitcoin onto the network. Also, a block explorer website would have one to query the blockchain and extract the information to be displayed on its site, and of course an exchange would need a node to perform deposits and withdrawals. Nodes don't have to write blocks, only receive and validate them, and a sybil attacker just needs to create nodes that pretend to validate, it doesn't have to care about having an accurate view of the blockchain. This is very cheap.

Consoles are a fairly direct comparison so the link is obvious. Still, if you’re talking about running arbitrary software then try loading “Uncharted: The Lost Legacy” on your PC or laptop. It’s not going to work, because you’re always limited to a subset of software on any platform PC or otherwise.

As to a negative user experience, console gaming won largely due to the lack of software issues. There are several reason for this, but inability to install random software really is one of them.
Until there’s a data breach or phone exploit of course. Because it certainly increases the surface area of vulnerability to such attacks.
In Russia, DPI systems which are used for censorship generally prevent accessing only blocked domain names or exact HTTP URLs. There's no proxy or VPN censorship in place, so unknown protocols are not getting discarded.

We still don't have national-wide firewall like that in China, each ISP (and we have 1000+ of them) performs censorship using either dumb IP blackholing (breaks a lot of legitimate stuff), on-path DPI (I call it "passive" in GoodbyeDPI, DPI which receive mirrored traffic and can only inject something but not prevent the connectivity per se), in-path DPI (DPI as a router/bridge).

Most DPI systems in Russia were specifically created for Russian censorship (i.e. capable only for HTTP URL and TLS SNI introspection), from scratch. Some ISP have their own in-house DPI systems. These systems were just not designed to handle packets fragmented on TCP or IP level at the beginning, because it's rarely the case in the real world.

If you want to learn more, visit internet censorship forum I created. I write about different DPI systems there and trying to document internet censorship in Russia as a whole.

An anecdote: There’s a really good book called China Inc. that has a story about a belt manufacture in America. The American executive tours a belt manufacture in China one day. He sees that all of the leather hides that have blemishes are being used whereas he would have to discard them. The Chinese factory had so many workers that were paid so little, they could afford to pay someone to cut out small, even tiny patches of leather, and glue them into the blemishes of the belts. It hit the guy so hard that he decided then and there to close his factory in America and move it to China.

> Catholic run schools (which are the majority of the private schools in the region)

Going to various directories that let you filter by religious affiliations shows that catholic schools are probably ~20% of the private schools in Kings County and ~15% across Washington State. Christian schools make up another ~25% in Seattle and ~20% statewide. So, while a significant portion, Catholic is definitely not the majority and the combination of Catholic+Christian might approach 50%.

I went to the first two schools alphabetically in NWAIS's directory of members for Seattle and they both had nondiscrimination policies that included sexual orientation and gender identity. Neither is Montessori or language immersion.

> It’s entirely possible within a publicly funded framework to have different models and observation of outcomes.

Possible, yes. Practical? No. Democratic bureaucracies are effectively incapable of learning and adapting. Schooling is basically implemented identically today as it was 100 years ago.

> Schools just have to be allowed the leeway to experiment without threat of privatization

This is a strange statement to me. In what sense is privatization a threat to public schools? If public schools were so great and privatization were so bad, why would people want to send their kids to privately run schools? Wouldn't public schools invite the challenge if they believed their model was superior?

The fact that they even view it as such an existential threat tells you basically all you need to know. Even they believe they'd be outcompeted almost immediately.

> And it’s not as if high-performing countries arrived at their (almost exclusively public) systems without this kind of iteration.

Firstly, the idea of differential country performance of schools is largely a myth. When you disaggregate by ethnicity, most of that disappears. Japanese kids in the US do about as well here as they do in Japan. Which is to say that differential performance between countries is more about who is in those countries than how it is those countries educate.

I understand your point, but to add to the discussion:

With android, you can use the F-Droid app store, which have "source builds". Source builds are apps built (and signed) by F-Droid, so you only need to trust the F-Droid team instead of each OSS app developer (and you can use alternative repositories if you don't).

So OSS can be the solution.

Sadly such solution is not available on the locked-down iOS ecosystem...

Apple needs to bow out of politics. Let anyone post an app as long as it's secure and not threatening to the OS or device itself. It's the politics (like with other companies) that will destroy it.

For example, say that someone shows that the most efficient algorithm for computing the value (0 or 1) of the central column of the nth row of rule 30 starting with a single 1 cell (i.e., the system under consideration for the prize) takes time n^2. Wouldn’t one then say that the complexity of the calculation is O(n^2)? One couldn’t say that it’s O(n), surely?
