>Therefore, it would be interesting to hear what others have to recommend.

If by 'others', you mean people who might chime into this post, I can be fairly certain that not many are going to respond. ( I will be repeating this post over several months, even one person vaguely interested in about 10 repeat postings will be an excellent hit rate). Personally my suggestion would be to go with some ordinary forum and then switch to a more secure one once the topic is deemed too sensitive.

>These days, the tragedy is that so few are taught argument and formal logic when they're young enough so as to get into the habit of regularly questioning and testing their beliefs with others and against external evidence.

For most part you cannot teach ( most) people to be questioning of their beliefs for the very simple reason that they cannot take on that additional cognitive load. It's is significantly easier for most people to navigate life with a set predetermined of beliefs on autopilot

>I overly question my stance or beliefs on too many things and that too can be a hindrance.

Precisely. If you a guy with an above average IQ has a problem ( Yes I read through your past posts ), what can you expect ordinary people to do?

> It's why discussions groups should be as wide and flexible as is practicable but still be kept strictly on topic. That's why a good but fair moderator is needed.

My guess is that with most 'well' functioning groups even a moderator is not often needed. What I have noticed that when there are calls for banning a person, the person is usually way off topic/rambling incoherently and is a prolific poster. Of course the people who oppose the ban are very pro-freedom of speech and this is where the contention comes in. But there are ways of solving it. ( It's going to be too long a post if I attempt to fully address it)

>What I've said above is somewhat clumsy, which is what happens when one tries to oversimplify an argument, nevertheless you'll get the gist of what I mean.

I do. You can generally be assured that I will not jump to conclusions, I will explicitly ask if in doubt. My larger point though is that if you find yourself worrying about being mis-interpreted then, if possible you should avoid that individual altogether, or just take a stand of not speaking up. ( like I often do at my work place). Anyway I read through some of your past posts and I can say with a fair degree of certainty that I need not even ask you about your beliefs, you appear well above the threshold of dealability as far as I'm concerned. Not saying that there won't be minor differences, but I don't see fundamental differences either.

I agree. Anything that's not emergent or immediately life saving you should think long and hard about. I had meniscus repair knee surgery in August. Now I have nerve damage that is causing pain in that lower leg. I probably would have been fine and recovered to moderate sports activity without it. My dad had knee replacement surgery at 76, and he never fully recovered from it. If it's at all elective, just say no as a default.

The legal system has largely failed in constraining copyright and patent abuse, and indeed has been key in massively expanding their reach (See "business process" patents and software patents, as well as stuff like the DMCA to shut down basically anything that involves interfacing with things).

API copyright is absolutely a _new_ concept invented whole cloth by the court, what advantage do you think it brings, vs the heavy tax on literally every piece of software ever created it imposes (after all CPU instruction sets are APIs).

You have repeatedly failed to present any actual advantage it provides beyond "it was hard work". What new APIs are going to exist because of this new law, that did not exist beforehand? What is the point of even trying to design a system where supposedly only "good faith" is rewarded? (good luck with that one)

Copyright is not about ownership because you created something, it is about benefit to society, that's why it expires and the public domain exists and also does not apply to all works.
I've updated the answer again with hopefully clearer examples.

You're getting stuck because you're used to only 1-level resolution/replacements for pronouns, because that's what we're used to in daily speak.

But I've given a concrete 2-level example, where you will question your own stance of "that's the end of the recursive process", and help you expand the logic to 3-levels deep, 4-levels, 5... to infinity.

Fair enough. I'd definitely agree there needs to be a disciplined balance, too much conservatism is just as bad as too little. But in defense of Engineers in general, it's quite possible that in their experience they've seen many situations where negatives ignored grew out of control.

An example I experienced a couple of weeks ago: Someone let code that "just works" slide through a code review back in 2017. That code had a hard-coded value that would have been easy to determine dynamically (he just set a max at an arbitrary value instead of counting how many of a resource there were) but wasn't due to general lack of discipline. Now it's a minor issue, and the code did indeed work up until a couple of weeks ago. Then the number of the resource in question changed, and all of a sudden that hard-coded max was no longer accurate.

The error manifested as a segfault in our C++ but only sporadically and was hard to reproduce when we didn't know what the issue was. Doesn't help that it was in a mountain of legacy spaghetti code. It took me and two other people two days to track down the original cause, which if you add up our de-facto hourly rates cost the company thousands of dollars. All because of one little minor piece of sloppy code.

Now imagine the effects of bigger, grander sloppiness at the design level. And then those effects get compounded because they're conveniently ignored and integrated into still further mistakes, and you get an exponentially multiplying mess.

I'm willing to bet many professional engineers have had an experience similar to that, and if they care about their craft at all it was likely extremely frustrating and painful to deal with. So it's not that they're "bad at divergent thinking" so much as they've been trained by experience to believe that the benefits of divergent thinking aren't worth the potential downsides. Whether that's an unconscious bias that should be worked against is an interesting question.
My impression is not much; high salaries are instead driven by Google/FB etc.

Your distinction seems a bit arbitrary to me. Building an operating system is a massive barrier to entry - far greater than building a house. Likewise, designing a computer.
We want to know which campaigns (and thus landing pages) are converting well, and which are not. So that we can invest in user acquisition in an effective manner.

Apart from that, not much else. We do not have an advertising model so we don't need intimate details of our users and visitors.
Formation “only possible in lab settings”? I thought the way to make buckyballs was to burn the carbon rods on an arc welder into oblivion, then sift through the debris looking for the Buckyballs you accidentally made without realizing it? Seems like a plausible scenario that could occur anywhere (edit: and wikipedia suggests even occurs in lightning strikes and candle flames.)

Didn’t the original paper lead to a corresponding world shortage in electric arc welders, for a time, as labs bought them all up?

I used chauffeured cars yesterday, I just shared them with other people. I went to the beach, and had no real plan, I thought I'll go here, clicked on my app and it told me where to go, usually walk a couple of hundred metres. I spent the day travelling and walking around cost about $20 and travelled a couple of hundred kilometres. I took my laptop and worked in between scenic spots.

I was thinking about this yesterday, I prefer catching trains and trams to buses - because trains don't throw you around when they turn corners, because the tracks can't have sharp corners. I was thinking if buses were made to be a little bit nicer - something like tour coaches then car usage would go down.

Self driving cars have a very real chance of becoming a nightmare scenario (and I used to think the future with them would be amazing), a world of roads everywhere always full of cars half of them empty going backwards and forwards all day every day.

Do other places have an app available like this - https://translink.com.au ?, there's a phone version to. If more people used public transport then it would become better. The system is also tied into a card which you can just tap on to travel, so if you change buses etc the final charge is just the number of "zones" you go through, there are 5 zones in the local couple of hundred kilometres.

One of the real problems with cars is that the cost of highways and roads isn't factored into the travel, it comes from the bucket of government, whereas trains and trams (and busways) have to include the cost of the rails. This distorts the relative costs and leads to suburbs created a long way from cities with ever increasing highways and highway costs.

I wasn't saying companies are unaware of the problem, I'm saying they don't realize that they aren't doing enough. I would say that it isn't at all clear what the solutions really are.

I'm a product engineer AND an infrastructure engineer in the common job-title sense, and if I had a dollar every time an infrastructure engineer/devops/full-stack introduced a complex service (elasticsearch/kafka/k8s/etc) without understanding how the service should be configured, maintained, or extended, I'd be able to afford a house in the bay!

Good product managers bridge the gap between engineering, sales, and the executive team, and can make a project successful just by managing the decision making process(es) well.

The bottom line however is that most companies have poor product management and poor infrastructure engineering which will lead to many more Theranos and Yahoo style messes in the years to come (and waste untold billions doing it!).

"Hell is other people". It's not possible to escape the state on Earth anymore. It's a pure question of travel time. Underwater continental shelf or Antarctica, it's all trivially accessible and indefensible. It's not possible to start a new way of living somewhere, like the Amish or Mormons did. What's needed is at least the equivalent of travel time and cost between Europe and Americas before steam ships.

Space is not that hard assuming some basic human upgrades. Nothing scifi needed (like mind uploading), just an engineering problem - things that today take a factory but would have to fit into a human sized body.

I agree about space constraints, but if we really wanted to, we 'd work to create humans that live long enough to go there , or somehow else send human hybrids frozen in a ship. Biotechnology is amazing but so constrained by premature regulation it's not seeing a lot of progress. I have the feeling that scientists were secretly wishing some rogue scientist would try to apply crispr on humans.

I don't know if I agree that it's a good test. If I had two images in front of me of random dots, I cannot superimpose them and see a picture of Marilyn Monroe, no matter how long I can look at them. (ah, actually I could go cross-eyed to make them overlap in my field of vision, but I can't do it mentally).

I could imagine a "spot the difference" type of test would be a good one though. The fields of random dots are identical save for one dot, and you have say where it is. Something like that.
I don’t know that I care if anyone can see the issue today or not. Specifically in this example, one app should not be able to influence the behavior of another app outside of normal channels just because the phone mfg made the app.

Backdoors, exploits, and all manner of existing CVEs exist because of mfg shortcuts, and we should be learning lessons even if the threat model isn’t immediately apparent.

In case anyone sees this: I initially agreed with you, thinking that pure UTF-8 validation is a bit more of a niche than might be expected. But if I'm not mistaken, I think at least for JSON validation, the UTF-8 validation can happen completely independently of the parsing. I don't think any control characters (braces, commas, quotes, escapes, etc) will change the validity of the UTF, or vice versa. So it might be beneficial (both for speed and security, as the sibling comment notes) to validate chunks of input as UTF-8, then pass them off to the parser, which now doesn't need to deal with validation.

Maybe this could be applied to XML, but that's quite a behemoth of a standard--I really wouldn't be surprised if there was a way to switch encodings mid-stream. I have no idea though...
