Joseph Campbell argues that the stages of human development are the same as they were in ancient times, and so your brain still responds to the same symbolic gestures your ancestors would encounter during their transition from boyhood to manhood.

If you’re having trouble transitioning from one stage to the next, Campbell claims it can help to look at the rites of passage present in ancient myths. One example is changing your mode of dress to usher in a life transition. By purposefully introducing these symbolic gestures into your own life, you can tap into the pathway of maturity that exists within your subconscious.
Reading around, Zircon syscalls are non-blocking at the scheduler level. Each syscall still requires a full context switch into kernel mode, though.

They can probably do some smart stuff with having each syscall just add stuff to a work queue so userspace can resume as quickly as possible, but it's still fundamentally more context switches than e.g. Linux would have, which if side-channel attacks keep coming out might be a problem for them.
Full disclosure here, I am the host of the ".epic" TLD on OpenNIC.

Knowing the maintainers of the project and the community at large, I doubt they'd take kindly to opening up the project to Mozilla's support/control. They've ran a tight game, relying on their own money and individual donations. Opening it up to Mozilla's big money would bring the democracy aspect of the project into compromise.

Personally, I'd find it interesting to see where OpenNIC would go with that kind of investment, though. I've poured plenty of my time and money into the project, and would like to see it grow. Perhaps not at the expense of the projects principles, though.

No, no it is not. Not at all... You are one of the lucky people who managed to get your chosen handle on those sites.

My preferred handle (givennamesurname) got registered in 2008 on twitter and hasn't done anything since (no tweets, no profile, etc).

On instagram, both (givennamesurname) and (givenname_surname) are taken, so I went with (surname_givenname).

The only real way to get around this is to just list your social media / accounts on your personal website. Then prove that you own it on keybase with gpg or whatever.

>why shouldn't they be allowed to spend their data if they want to

I think they should be allowed to. I just think companies should be required to provide consumers a choice.

>why shouldn't services be allowed to cater exclusively to them?

Because many of the companies that exploit their users are monopolies. There are no real competitors to YouTube, Facebook, Google, etc. (yes, I know alternatives exist, but when you have 99% of users on your platform, the others don't quite matter).

Since there's yet to be any regulation to stop this monopolistic aspect, the next easiest thing would be to force them to adopt a slightly different, relatively painless business model.

I don't think you came off as aggressive - don't worry. People should, imo, be free to choose how they want to transact. On the flipside, though, a standard business model would be a benefit to all - those who care about privacy get what they want, those who don't see zero changes. The companies will make the same money off of either, so the only real cost is in developing the tools necessary to accept payments. Those aren't particularly hard to integrate into most websites, though.

>isn't that really just an indication that the traditional business model has been thoroughly outcompeted and should be moved away from since it's nonviable by comparison?

I'm not so sure. I've never seen a YouTube alternative with even 1/50th as many videos which has some kind of cash-based revenue model. I've NEVER seen a search engine which does that, and the same is true for social media (among other things, this isn't meant to be an all-inclusive list, of course).

I'm a bit of a privacy nut, so feel free to disregard this next part, but I honestly think targeted advertising is the source of a huge number of problems. For instance, it's used for highly targeted political ads, which I believe is the root of a lot of the division in the US political scene. This got so bad that Google felt the need to ban their tools being used for highly-specific targeted political ads. Unfortunately, others have not followed suit here.

Rust is supposed to be safer. There are still plenty of type system unsoundness issues or LLVM unsafety issues that leak through every so often.
I'm surprised no one mentioned that Barnes works for Cisco:

Cisco has had backdoored equipment and far too many security vulnerabilities. They supply equipment to suppressive regimes like China, allowing these countries to block, filter, and monitor internet traffic in an effort to suppress human rights.

Someone who works for a company like that should not be trusted with important decisions related to fundamental parts of the internet.

Back when I was involved in third-party politics and had many social entrepreneur friends I made my own decision that I don't give money to 501c(3) organizations, since they are a privileged class that doesn't have to pay taxes -- being a 501c(3) organization also means sticking to rules that ensure that you will be working on the symptoms of problems rather than the root causes.

Particularly in the developing world, people would benefit from for-profit organizations that are responsive to their needs as opposed to non-profits who work for rich donors and mindless governments.

Mark Singleton wrote that everyone misunderstood his argument. It’s not that Yoga is Scandinavian, it’s that a bunch of modern asana isn’t all that old. Because westerners really only have encountered the Krishnamacharya (through Iyenger and Jois) and Ghosh (through Bikram) practices, they think of yoga as a whole to be only asana, and always including the standing postures. Some of those standing postures look like western gymnastic practices.

Asana is only one specific part of the entire practice. It’s a good beginning point. But it’s also very clear from texts like Hatha Yoga Pradipika, Vasistha Samhita, Patanjali Yoga Sutras, Vajrayana Buddhist yoga texts, and others that yoga definitely isn’t a Scandinavian invention.
>I thought it was tremendously useful, if only to understand what was in the minds of the people who unanimously voted to sell .ORG.

That felt more like a smokescreen than a true insight into the process. It's a lot of fluff and empty grandstanding while not really justifying the sale in any coherent way. The way I read it he's basically saying "being a registrar for .org is our biggest activity and one that gives us a steady and stable income but we also want to do other things, so we decided to get rid of that for some short-term gains".

If that's truly what was in the mind of the people who voted to sell they need to test the water supply in that building, there was clearly something messing with their reasoning skills.

If there's truly a grand master plan that makes sense behind all of that then they should share it. For now the only plan that makes any sense to me involves several thick layers of corruption.

I don't think most people care that much about whether or not it has anything to do with Buddhism, and if anything a lot of the people "selling" mindfulness try to avoid the link, because it scares off a lot of people that don't want a religious practice (or don't want one associated with a religion other than "theirs").

I practice mindfulness, but I would never consider myself a buddhist - it took a "secularised" text to get me to pick it up (Mindfulness in Plain English; it's written by a buddhist monk, but makes clear from the beginning that it's a practical guide rather than a guide to the Buddhist spiritual background for mindfulness).

their sites are non offensive but they aren't doing anything special (worth modelling) you have lots of opportunity to beat them on that front. tap into one set of values, and get more personal (less corporate). good way to start is think about which type of people you most like helping, then dig down until you understand their soul. we're all driven to achieve more control and predictability, all that differs is how we go about that. Pick a group you like and go all in on talking directly to them, in the language they use.
You're arguing about requirements. Of course when Thompson and Ritchie went for null terminated strings, they knew that NUL would be excluded. That's the specification at the requirement level; it's not a "oh crap, we unwittingly excluded NUL from strings" bug.

There are 32 control characters, and DEL. The purpose of all those characters is to carry some kind of meaning. The designers of the null-terminated string decided that the meaning of NUL will be reserved for that termination. That still leaves 31 control characters and DEL which can be stored in a string, which programmers can use for other meanings. That turns out to be plenty.

The "unreasonable effectiveness" and ubiquity of null terminated strings shows that the world is perfectly capable of getting along without NUL in the middle of a string. Basically, the intuition that we can steal NUL for string termination was right (and to some extent self-fulfilling, due to the subsequent proliferation of the convention).

The idea that all possible code points of a character set are valid characters that must be stored in a string is outdated in the age of Unicode, which contains codes which are not character code points.

Null terminated strings are now the representation of a path name every major OS that has any non-negligible installed base. The choices leading to this situation weren't made by complete idiots.

And, by the way, NUL is the ASCII character; NULL is the pointer constant in C.

Note that economists aren't running climate models. IPCC climate scientists are running models projecting what will happen (e.g. crop yields will decline by 20%.) IPCC economists are then putting a dollar value on those effects. (If crop yields decline by 20%, what will be the hit on the economy?)

It's possible it was "sold at a loss" but the early investors made money.

e.g. by investment round:

A: $1m for a $10m valuation
B: $5m for a $40m valuation
C: $12m for a $100m valuation

A "fire sale" of $15m would yield a profit for Series A investors, a probable loss for B, and a certain loss for C.
That's postmodernist baloney. There is an objective truth, and we can asymptotically approach it. Humanity can access facts. It's nonsense to suggest that we can't distinguish between claims because everything is false.

> Startups don't really have valuations like a public company

Valuing complicated capital structures is well studied. (Many public companies have complicated cap structures.)

The wrong way to do it is take the top-of-the-stack share price, multiply it by everything outstanding, ignore debt, and equate it to enterprise value. That number means something, but the obsession with it in the Valley incentivised Vision Fund-style antics.

well, actually its a self advection based on rotations only (and therefore automatically divergence free). so there's actually no explicit navier stokes equations or pressure/tension physics involved (implicitly one could argue though...).
It just seems like the newest iteration of capitalism repurposing some ideology in an Orwellian way. As Weber observed a long time ago despite Protestantism shunning pleasures and material possessions, Protestants make extremely good capitalists.

The same thing seems to be happening with Buddhism. I'm not Buddhist but a pretty central teaching seems to be to let go of the self and to end desire, whereas among the new caste of CEOs it seems to have been repurposed into a tool to pursue ones mundane goals more effectively, and as a sort of social signal among rich people who have so much wealth that buying a sports car doesn't even convey any meaning any more. So now in addition to being rich which is a precondition, you also need to reject all your wealth and meditate in some bizarre ritual of one-upmanship.

In many ways I wish we could just go back to the olden days when those people would do coke and throw lavish parties because at least that's honest rather than Jack Dorsey meditating in a private retreat while minorities are being chased down on the street by a mob organised on twitter.
