I think you are touching a fundamental problem with humans.

One aspect is that we do make mistakes, cannot follow rigid laws to the letter and that's why we have judges. Judges are supposed to consider "all circumstances" of a particular event and have the power to decide for no punishment even if technically a law was broken. This system has been evolving for centuries, don't expect it to be solved any time soon. It's still imperfect.

The other aspect is that different parties have different motivation and no matter which system you implement, it can be "hacked". Just like any computer can be hacked. A system is a construct and if you follow the construct, you can find ways around it. So it depends on the motivation of the parties - if it's strong enough, they will find a way through. If motivations align, they will cooperate. Again, behavioral psychologists have been trying to understand how cooperation happens, and it's not a solved problem, maybe even not solvable. There will always be power plays.

It might seem like it should have a solution, that it's just about the ownership models, but this is more fundamental. I would personally be ok with cameras monitoring people who throw thrash on the streets if the punishments were somehow "reasonable", but it's just not possible. Not to mention it costs something to issue the punishment, so it doesn't make sense to issue very small punishments, and somebody needs to clean it anyway, and our technology is not 100% accurate and, and, and... So realistically there are just many easier treatments, that are "good enough", not perfect, that unfortunately leave some trash on the streets because the alternative is dystopia.
I used Google maps in the past days to marvel about Beijing’s new airport, Daxing. If you look closely you see the train tracks that are being built southbound. You see that they are mostly straight, mostly on stilts (still being built) but further south they also cross through some towns - where lines of houses have been removed. You can see several camps along the route, probably for construction workers to live directly by the construction site (some farmland had to go for that) - judging from the number of buildings it must be 1000s of them. Then, close to the end, you see massive construction work for what seems to become a major transportation hub, similar to the express train stations in Xi’an (8 million people) or Shanghai Hongqiao (220000 passengers/day). Yet, there isn’t much around it - a few smaller towns and villages. A bit further south the tracks seem to end north of the city of Xiong. The first trains are scheduled to be run in 2 years.

It’s a glimpse of the next project in preparation: the megacity of Xiong’an, which is to be built until 2050 to complement Beijing and Tianjin, totalling an area of about 110 million people.

This is all just very hard to fathom.

Are you familiar with Neuralink? They showed a video with like 1000 connections.. vastly more than this example.
OpenAI mostly. Started following along what they're doing and eventually spiraled into going to one of their meetups and then attending ICML this summer.

> "Yes, EF queries are more readable to many developers who know C# well but don't want to get used to SQL."

My main field is databases. Been working with SQL for ~15 years. My knowledge of LINQ is much less than SQL (partly also because I was writing plenty of SQL before LINQ existed).
I also think SQL is a big big mess full of leaky abstractions that forces you to do things in unituitive ways. And yet it is incredibly powerful. But don't listen to me. Read any book by C.J.Date (especially this one http://www.thethirdmanifesto.com/), for all the reasons SQL is poorly designed.

> "But the problem with that is DB apathy.....leads to some real performance problems....."

I completely agree. Databases are very powerful and more people should know how to properly use them so that the rest of us would have fewer headaches.

The problem is that due to many reasons it is the only such DSL in wide spread use. Any alternatives are just footnotes.
We've been using AWX for a while now. We used to use Ansible Tower which is a complete ripoff and we got no value from it. We switched to AWX for free without losing any features. It's pretty easy to set up and get going. Authentication and authorization is a bit weird but pretty useful once you get it going.

We've been using AWX (and Ansible Tower) for orchestrating our Ansible deployments and playbooks for a while now. It's fine. I like having the ability of having playbook runs that can be shared with others and are nicely auditable instead of having people SSH-ing about and then digging through logs afterwards.

It's also pretty good for writing up a quick Ansible playbook to automate some task, sticking it on your AWX instance and then sharing it with your colleagues to free yourself up from manual work.

Per https://serverfault.com/a/560059/110020, Google's 8.8.8.8 has had support for `edns0-client-subnet` since at least 2013, so, even if it's only been standardised in 2016, it's been a de-factor standard for quite a while, especially in the internet-technology-years.

Here's an interesting thought — if it's so bad for privacy and isn't necessary for a CDN, does Cloudflare the CDN simply disregard ECS when receiving requests from DNS.Google, or do they take it into account?

I don't really understand the problem, Facebook is no arbiter of truth and also not the Police. If we as a society need FB to deal with lying politicians we have bigger problems.

In any case fact checking in Politics seems like a dirty game to me. I mean where are the facts in believing a certain policy will change things for the better? If only it were that simple we could just leave ruling our countries to fact checkers and a random potential-fact generating machine.

Commonly a model is being used primary to make better decisions. Specifically in the context of fitting models, Bayesian methods are really popular for hyperparameter tuning.

I guess my main point is that at least one reason people are using Bayesian methods is because they are dealing with problems that are qualitatively different than more prototypical prediction problems.
> It may be that this resolves the situation, but it very well may be that the 6-bottle-taker now decides to take 8, or 12 - 6 for work and 6 for home. And then some extra for their kid.

Let's stop extrapolate.

Taking stuff (meant for employees at the office) for your families at home sounds more like theft. It's a grey area, but it's clear cut when you do it consistently in large amount over a longer period of time... It's a totally different problem.

significantly? Please avoid exaggerating to make your point.

Nah. A junior engineer at Google is paid ~$1000 a day. These bottles' cost isn't significant.

It seems more productive to make things more abundance and avoid scarcity.

Nah. Even Rachel (the blog post owner) would disagree with this...
Sharing only creates demand if money or other videos (or other things of interest to the original perpetrator) are given in exchange. And honestly, I expect the vast majority of abusers to be doing it either for fun (so they'd stop sharing videos, but keep raping) or for the money. Sometimes I wonder if what people really want is just to stop the transmission of child porn so they can go back to pretending it doesn't exist...

Child porn piracy is an essentially victimless crime.

Note: In the above I am considering the generic example of "child porn" to be broadcasting the forcible rape of prepubescents, not 17 year olds sending each other naughty pictures, which is what most content matching the US legal definition is (the UK one is just stupid as it includes drawings).
I'd say: only when the goal people are trying to coordinate around is something you consider invalid or wrong, so you want to shut it all down.

I think the difference between the microkitchen case and charity case is that in the former, you're using a scarce shared resource, whereas in the latter, you own the resources and choose what to use them for. It's a social norm that when shared resources are scarce, everyone gets to take a fair share of them[0], and if you try to take more than it's fair, you're defecting and considered a bad actor (a "freeloader"). It's also a social norm that the wealth you own is for you to spend as you wish. Charities are considered optional spending, which is why no one can demand or should try to shame you into donating. Contrast that with taxes, which are non-optional. Not donating to charity isn't defecting, because there's no cooperative situation happening. Not paying taxes would be defecting, because there's a social (and legal) expectation that everyone should contribute to the shared pool of money that buys public services.

--

[0] - For some definition of "fair". The Schelling point, when there's nothing suggesting a fairer split, is that "everyone gets the same amount". Unequal splits can happen too, if that ends up benefiting everyone more.
This link and the two answers within demonstrate something important, broader than the DNS related issue at hand.

Both make implicit assumptions. One assumes the worst of Cloudflare and thinks “what’s the worst reason Cloudflare could have for doing this. How do they profit off this?” And the other assumes that Cloudflare has good intentions.

Neither answer is technically wrong. Both flow logically from their initial assumptions. But it shows how different our conclusions can be depending on where our initial biases lie. For the person who believes the first answer and says “prove to me that Cloudflare isn’t doing something nefarious”, it’s not possible. The analysis is correct and can’t be challenged unless the initial assumption is challenged. And for people who strongly believe that Cloudflare has bad intentions, nothing can be done to change their mind.

In this example it’s Cloudflare but it applies to any person or organisation that we feel strongly about.

What would you except in a country where most politicians depends on bribes from the rich? First you buy the worst politicians money can get. Then you purchase "public opinion" to back them up when they push your agendas.
Well, in that case minimizing the (negative) loglikelihood seems principled but you could minimize literally any loss function and it would work almost just as well.

So you don't use 3rd party packages? Because the moment you use one you don't fully understand it --that comes with time. You can't magically know every nuance about a package before you start using it. I haven't looked at the code at all for momentjs or the internals of Vue, there's still a lot I don't know about their api's but doesn't mean I still don't get value out of using them.

You withdrew some money from an ATM last night, right? Thinking it was from your salary? Actually that was drug money.

The bank isn't useless, because it keeps track of how much money it receives and hands out, and from whom. So even if you got a note that has been in some drug smuggler's hands, the bank isn't useless.

The researchers do much the same, except with less precision. The bank has full insight into who deposits, transfers and withdraws, the researchers only partial insight into the income and spending of the research subjects. But they can estimate how good their insight is and take steps to improve it. Their results are as precise as their insight is complete. Their results won't be as precise as your bank statement, but they can be precise enough to be useful. After all, the researches can set the terms their experiment so as to get enough data.

I don’t really buy this argument that to do anything involving the accuracy of claims there needs to be some new dystopian “ministry of truth.” We already have really common well-accepted laws that involve the truth value of certain claims.

> Why terrifying?

Because you're leaving an unmaintainable mess. Nobody else can rationalise the code aside himself. It's harder to debug because even he cannot account for every edge case his regex might throw up -- which also makes it less secure. Also regex is comparatively slow so transforming an SQL query using multiple regex search and replace patterns is not the way to write hot code hit by literally millions of visitors each hour.

> understanding his code generator is not (necessarily) a pre-requisite for understanding the resulting code.

Oh it absolutely is if you want maintainable and secure code. I get some situations call for complexity but when you're generating SQL on a public facing web application with a centralised database backend, you want to be damn sure you can rationalise the SQL being generated. The best ways of doing that is to either not to try to be too clever with your generation (KISS) or to put your confidence into an established and well tested existing ORM or equivalent.

If archive.is thinks that Internet standards should be adopted so quickly, it's weird that they don't support IPv6 considering it's been a standard since 1998!

Obviously I'm kidding, but only kind of. When it comes to insisting on adopting new standards, edns-client-subnet is a weird hill to die on, especially considering it was always meant to be optional.

> does Cloudflare the CDN simply disregard ECS when receiving requests from DNS.Google, or do they take it into account?

I don't think they have a reason to use it because they use TCP anycast. Looking at https://cachecheck.opendns.com/ they seem to return the same IPs regardless of geography.

In the post the archive.is says that it caused "many troubles".

We really dont know the site works in the backend. So I guess the admin did not want to spend time to fix issues cloudflare created.
EDNS client subnet exists since there are large public DNS servers. Google did implement it very early on 8.8.8.8 (DNS operators had to request them to enable it when querying their authoritative servers) because it is needed to correctly operate a CDN.

Ignoring the offensive language used, it should be noted that at every point in humanity (without being able to see into the future) the argument that “interesting stuff has been solved” could’ve been made.

This is why moderation should stick to the "clear and present danger" standard established by US courts. There has to be a credible threat of violence directed at a specific individual.

I just implemented this for an app, and was glad that for the most part Apple followed a standard here, but some of these “peculiarities” referenced are a PITA.

Most notably imo:

> The scope value of only the very first request by an application is respected.

This means if you require an email address and something goes wrong before persisting it (e.g. the app crashes), there’s nothing you can do except ask the user to sign into their account on Apple’s website, revoke the app’s permissions, and start over.
