Is it the cabal label that bothers you? For context, the sentence before:

> Ring and Kaplan want to reconsider the longtime ban on labor spying. It’s a sleazy idea, but typical for these two.

So they are working together, and perhaps “cabal” is too colorful of a term, as it also implies doing it in secret. It would appear they’re quite open about it.
The original Urbit system also included a scheme of political "banners" so that you could avoid speech which was unpalatable to you, in order to allow conscious self-organizing into groups of like-mindedness, and as I recall also wrote about the idea that political speech being shared across these boundaries was necessarily violent (and as such clearly undesirable, as all violence.) edit: this system was removed, I should have mentioned, although I'm not sure it substantially changes the design of the overall system at all.

Some of Yarvin's writings are at best eccentric, but as he has not been a part of the project for some time already, I think it's fair for today's contributors to the project to ask you to set aside his intent, or your impressions of it.

I don't want to make any enemies here, but I'm not sure how one can objectively establish that a design is feudal, or what that would mean. I'm going to take a stab at it, as I don't want to simply dismiss your argument out of hand.

Oxford defines feudalism as:

> The dominant social system in medieval Europe, in which the nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants (villeins or serfs) were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labour, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection.

If that means: a system where we carve all the land up into /8 and dole them out, then divide those tracts into /16, and further into /24 and /32, and so on, then sure, Urbit is feudal. I think that's as far as the point can stretch, though. Planets are not "beholden" to their stars, as far as I understand it, they are mostly independent entities after the initial bootstrapping process is over. There's no planet tax or military organization, protection, etc.

Did you have a somehow different interpretation that you were trying for?

Heck, I work at a 20 person company and this is still generally true. No one is stopping me from using a new service, but using AWS means no new paperwork and no questions.

Actionable advice on this would be: If you're B2B, have an option for yearly billing via invoice.

Billing yearly via invoice vs a monthly direct debit means our finance people deal with payment, and just ask Engineering once a year if they should pay this weird bill they got. Billing via direct debit means I have to do paperwork every month. I don't enjoy things like paperwork. I do enjoy things like building a single customer MVP version of your service on AWS in a couple hours. You can guess which I'm going to choose if you don't offer yearly billing.

It has been a while ago so maybe things are better now but I have seen sqlite being a disaster when the times comes to upgrade the schema. Not all of the common operations like deleting/renaming a column are supported. Since it has been a while I don't remember exactly which ones. Then someone writes an sql script to provide this functionality. Then it turns out that a freshly created database using the latest schema is subtly different from one that was created from an older schema and then updated. Things like a column that has a default but only in one of these two cases. Lots of fun, but not really.

It emerged as a result of both. Reactionary/romantic ideals have always co-opted what they viewed as scientific knowledge or technology in the service of their imagined past. That progressive ideals may have also ultimately employed horrific tools goes without saying, and that some conservative forces have sometimes opposed them is also true. But that's my point: any presentation of history as some appealing narrative leading to a conclusion is wrong, regardless of whether it's done intentionally by a scholar wishing to push an agenda, or unintentionally by name-dropping, bloviating ignoramuses like Yarvin.

No FS guarantees this. You can emulate this by writing to a tmp location, syncing and performing a move.
Thanks to the Yocto team for a great release. I'm excited to start playing with the new hash-equivalency support, which is the biggest addition in this release IMO.

That's my argument for internet everywhere to. You physically can't have work from home employees if, in 2019, they have to pick between 3Mbps or a 25GB data cap.

I actually liked the concept of wework -- a shared office to work in that is not at home -- to bad there was serious issues with the company. With enough places like this, you can still move people out of cities.
I think what gp meant is fopen-way of sqlite, not full-schema. Basically, tXML/tJSON singleton and tBlob(id, data) for embedded blobs. That way it will have all journaling, syncing, checksums and other fs wisdom that the article mentioned.
That's (for better or worse) an almost defining characteristic of the English language. We take words from other languages and adopt them as English words. It doesn't matter if the word in English means the same thing as the original word, it doesn't matter what language it came from, it doesn't matter if we're combining two words from different languages to make a new word (television is the Greek word 'tele' combined with the Latin word 'visio').

English is an incredibly dynamic language with very loose rules. If a loanword sounds exotic, well that's half the fun.
So... if it were made clear that the discussion was specific to continuous functions, your criticism would disappear? Is that really worth the level of your dismissal?

I mean, that's how it's actually taught to high school students, after all. Complexities like discontinuities are absolutely not part of the initial curriculum.

Alternatively, if you think a simple introduction to calculus requires a discussion of discontinuous functions and the fundamental theorem of calculus before it describes how to compute a definite integral, I retreat to my earlier point: that's ridiculous nitpicking.

Basically: you want a textbook. They make those. This isn't that, it's an intuitive guide for people who found the treatments in textbooks opaque. Those people exist, they want to learn this stuff too, and they aren't well served by people like you just yelling at them to read the textbooks they already have.

I don't think one can request that even in theory. If the data is not personally identifiable, then it is not owned by you (at least in my understanding of gdpr and similar privacy regulations). "yabadadoes (or their IP) visited the site" is your data. "someone from yabadabadoes country visited the site" is not your data and it's not up to you to say what the site owner does with that information.
> In the end, the unleashing of energy will be due to people researching the genetic basis of intelligence and IVF.

I'm not so sure. There is a core problem here, and that is that intelligence is not all that it's made up to be. It takes no more than a glance at the current American president to see that. That intelligence (by which I mean relative intelligence) is some ultimate power is, itself, a myth perpetuated by people who consider themselves particularly intelligent. You'd hear similar things about beauty from beautiful people. Clearly, many great works were done by people who were not amazingly intelligent, and people who were amazingly intelligent have done some amazingly stupid things. Personally, I think charisma is far more important. I see no inherent reason why any discoveries regarding intelligence would have bigger consequences than discoveries about charisma.

They might have failed economically too, but not for being communist. They were just more socialist than it was acceptable / allowed for a Banana Republic in Latin America at the time (or now). Similar measures in sovereign countries in Europe wouldn't bat an eye...
SRP is a remote password protocol. WebAuthN is for public key-based credentials in web apps... so not really related?

SRP is a "perfect" remote password protocol: it reveals no information about your password, not even a salted secure hash of it, which could be brute forced or cracked. The only information that is gained by the server is whether the client has entered the correct password or not. It's somewhat surprising that this good of a password protocol even exists. There are others with similar properties, but it still surprises me.

The main reason I suspect that SRP didn't become widely used much earlier is that it was originally patented. The patent appears to have expired in 2015, so it seems like one can use the protocol for free now. The text on the Stanford SRP page [1] reads as though it was always designed to be open and freely usable, but that's not my recollection from reading about it years ago. I recall reading about the protocol (maybe 15-20 years ago), getting really excited and then getting to the part where it was patented and getting equally disappointed.

> Does owning a sewing machine suddenly bestow upon you dictatorial powers?

Why do you insist in throwing the word "dictatorship" around?

Owning a sewing machine and paying someone to use it on your behalf should absolutely bestow you the power to choose what that person makes for you, while being paid by you, and while using your machine. How can this be controversial?

I don't know exactly. I'm just going to try it and see what works. If it fails I'll just try another idea. The basics steps I imagine are:

- getting local supporters. This will be useful for bootstrapping the Kickstarter

- gorilla marketing. Basically just think of how to promote the product in low cost high impact ways.

- traditional marketing like google and facebook. Maybe a couple expirements and demographic research before going all in on a campaign

- do the Kickstarter. It'll be a modest Kickstarter. My goal at this phase is to have a successful Kickstarter, not to make money.

- if Kickstarter succeeds fulfill the orders

- Turn it into a business or maybe just a passive income. All I'll have to do is order more boards and cases if orders for the product come in. Plus, the patent itself will be worth something.

What do you think? Does it sound doable? Too shy for Kickstarter? That seems like too small of a thing to hold you back.
People will also see a sign that looks dumb and figure that they might as well ignore it because it doesn't make sense.

Also, I wonder if the "flash" on a phone is comparable to older types.

>Much of the armed forces and the civilian populace hated Allende and his policies.

No, actually, he was quite popular[1]:

>Between 1970 and 1973, the Unidad Popular (Popular Unity)—the coalition of parties backing Allende—actually increased its vote, a growing popularity which in itself casts some doubt on the widely spread tales of economic disaster wrought by the government. In the last significant election, a fierce electoral battle for Congress in March 1973, the Unidad Popular increased its share of the vote to 44 percent. The rest of the vote was split among the several other parties, which at that time functioned freely and openly in the Chilean tradition. The 800,000 who greeted the President on September 4 constituted nearly one-tenth of the national population, the largest political rally ever held in Chile.

It was the upper classes that hated him, the people who had been getting fat off the people for the past several decades and stood the most to lose from his presidency.

This is a good point, although the author notes in the article that the battery will only last a few minutes you never know if this code might get copied into a different project!
