Forth style is great for writing but very hard for reading. I'm playing around with the idea that you use a Forth-like language to interactively develop code. The steps you perform become AST nodes. Then when you want to read it, it comes out in another form.

This is more ideal because it is more interactive and you can see the immediate result every step of the way. This is different than writing traditional code because sometimes variables and functions are not returning what you expect and you are working blind under the wrong assumption. You then need to debug it to find out where the value is not what you expected and why. Forth wins for writing in my book because you have immediate feedback which lifts some of the cognitive load and saves time on debugging.

However, the problem with reading Forth is that it forces the cognitive load of having to know what is on that stack at every moment. If you make one little mundane mistake then it completely changes the meaning of the code and you get lost. So for reading I think you need to read it in the more traditional language forms.

Some kind of IDE could let you interactively write. But once you save it, you can read it in a more traditional prefix / infix syntax.

It's simple.

I connect to a server of one VPN service. Then, through that VPN tunnel, I connect to a server of a second VPN service. Then, through that VPN tunnel, I connect to a server of a third VPN service. That's what I mean by nested. I don't use custom VPN clients. Just OpenVPN.

In the setup that I'm currently using, one VPN client runs in a VirtualBox host machine. And the others run in pfSense VMs.[0] Each pfSense instance uses ~500MB RAM, however.

But it also works in a single machine, using routing and iptables rules.[1] For a chain of three VPNs, these OUTPUT rules prevent leaks, with internet traffic restricted to the third VPN tunnel (tun2):

-A OUTPUT -o enp0s3 -d VPN0 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -o tun0 -d VPN1 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -o tun1 -d VPN2 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -o tun2 -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -j DROP

VPN0, VPN1 and VPN2 are the IPv4 addresses of the VPN servers that I'm using. From different VPN services. The script that sets up the chain alters the routing so that each VPN connects through the previous one. There's no isolation between the different VPN clients, but that also makes it easy to switch chains periodically. Sort of like Tor.

I pay for the first VPN with a credit card. But the rest I pay with Bitcoin, which has been mixed multiple times through Tor, using a different mixing service at each step. I used Bitcoin that's been mixed more times for VPNs that I connect to less directly. And I never lease different VPNs with the same batch of mixed Bitcoin.

The last VPN know only what I connect to, and what VPN I connected from.

I used to believe the US Supreme court could be a bulwark against one party control, but the Republicans now admit (McConnel) that they stole a spot from Democrats and have been court packing since they got a republican president.

Also here's an actual study on chess and IQ.

https://www.gwern.net/docs/iq/2019-vaci.pdf

> most “achievements” linked to IQ are measured in circular stuff s.a. bureaucratic or academic success, things for test takers and salary earners in structured jobs that resemble the tests

This is the point of the test. That people who do well on this test, do well at their job.

>Psychologists do not realize that the effect of IQ (if any, ignoring circularity) is smaller than the difference between IQ tests for the same individual.

This is actually evidence that IQ tests are measuring something that is even more predictive. Say I use an MRI and I'm able to predict schizophrenia far better than chance. The argument that the MRI I used was faulty and sometimes returned back false results is not evidence that my test is bogus, but evidence that it's even more powerful because it worked well despite the machine being wonky.

> if you want to detect how someone fares at a task, say loan sharking, tennis playing, or random matrix theory, make him/her do that task; we don’t need theoretical exams for a real world function by probability-challenged psychologists

This is referencing industrial psychology research. What he's referring to is a work-sample test, and IQ tests are equally predictive. With IQ tests outperforming when the jobs requirements are less defined, and work sample tests outperforming when the job is more defined.(think startup wear many hats lot of on the job learning vs enterprise DBA)

He also makes an argument that iq is less predictive of success at higher levels which isn't the case and is based on some bad research. (They measured childhood IQs instead of adult IQs)

Most of the article is a collection of strawmen, ad hominems, and just plain weird whatboutism. (just because the high IQ janitors score better than low IQ professors doesn't really tell us whether or not IQ is pseudo scientific)
Aren't you contradicting yourself?

First, you say "I don't see how security cameras, or at least the video doorbells, are more dangerous than all of the other things we've just already accepted, like constant tracking of our positions via smartphones and our online browsing habits."

Then, you say "Entirely valid complaints, regarding Alexa devices. Its unrelated to Ring, and especially doorbell cameras."

They're not unrelated, you explained the relationship yourself (that they're both "dangerous" examples of pervasive corporate surveillance), and the article quite explicitly argues that we SHOULDN'T "just accept" these "devices that constantly monitor, track and record us simply for our own convenience or a sense of safety".

How do you want me to look for the data?

Thank you for acknowledging that you didn't have actual data you were basing that claim on in the first place.
To conflate a market economy with 'neoliberalism' is plainly ridiculous.

As we speak there is no credible, working alternative to the market economy. An alternative is not even needed at all: The system 'works' and allows people to offer services and products as they please, and also to consume services and products as they please.

The practical, and ideological issue, is regulation. Some believe that a market economy does not need any and that the market will optimally regulate itself. I think that has been proven wrong. Regulation is needed.

The issue is thus to find the right level of regulation to ensure that the market works and delivers the most benefits, not to try a rehash of planned and controlled economy (which has largely failed).

The answer is no. There aren't any significant policies (related to internet search, crawling or intellectual property) which create a barrier for little guys but which Google has the resources to handle (which is usually how regulation stifles disruption, sometimes by design).

Don't underestimate the EU though, given some of the ignorant tech regulation they've already passed, it could happen at some point.

As Bing has demonstrated, Google's dominance in search is a result of superior technology and a huge lead. Even a company with the resources of MS hasn't been able to do anything but follow behind and create almost good enough copies at each step.

Although to be fair that's what MS has always done so maybe a more nimble company might have a shot some day.

In the near future AI and machine learning coupled with computing advances could be a way into search for competitors if G doesn't get there first.

The user agent isn't very important. What we should start being worried about is that ISPs are now offering API access that maps your IP address to your phone number and demographic information. (Verizon does this right now, but you can opt out in your account settings.)

List of languages that compile to python:

https://github.com/vindarel/languages-that-compile-to-python

This change is almost guaranteed to break most of these.
Here's how I approach it: forget about all the historic naming like "perfect fifths" and just think in terms of the modern 12-note equal temperament. Every note is a number, e.g. 440 Herz = 69, the standard guitar tuning has strings from 40 to 64, etc. Every interval is an integer, up an octave is +12, major chord is a triple of {x, x+4, x+7}, minor seventh chord is {x, x+3, x+7, x+10} etc.

Then, as a the second game-changer, learn the circle of fifths. Start with a note like C, and keep adding +7 to it. You'll get FCGDAEBF#C#G#D#A# - note how the sharped notes repeat the pattern of the nonsharped ones, easy to remember. The "keys" and "modes" stuff is just intervals of seven consecutive notes on the circle. Say you choose FCGDAEB, that's one key, then every mode is to be found by choosing one note out of those seven, and hopping over one note until you play all seven once: e.g. FGABCDE is one mode (Lydian afair), EFGABCD is another one etc. The "major" and "minor" keys are just different names for two of those seven modes. Pentatonic scales are those same modes with some notes omitted. Blues and harmonic minor scales are those same modes with some notes inserted. Overall modes, not keys or chords are the key to actually composing music intelligently, so learn them and learn to play them.

This should give you a good start in practical music theory.
Just because one project doesn't benefit much doesn't mean others don't. Microcontrollers are pretty powerful these days - Cortex M7s might run at 200+MHz and have 2MB of flash. You could easily end up with a project with a small webserver, wifi and ethernet, a GUI and more. When you have 10s of thousands of lines of code having the kind of guarantees Rust gives becomes more important.
The map doesn't seem to show the free out-of-system transfers between Inwood 207th St and the nearby 1 stops, either.

"is trust a big deal? And the answer is: we do not know"

Trust is a very big deal. The biggest deal. As long as you are not a specialist on climate science yourself, all you can do is trust. That is true for all scientific endeavors. We pick people we trust and more or less believe in their stance on things.
It's a reasonable expectation for original content that they produce themselves. The problems start when you enter into byzantine licensing agreements with third party producers that insist on all sorts of complex agreements that are only valid within certain regions. It gets worse when those producers start delegating to even more subcontractors.

It's kind of backwards to be doing business this way. There are plenty of Youtube channels that have a wider reach than many TV shows with millions of subscribers and views per video. The trick is simply to ensure you have copyright for all content that you create plus a world wide distribution license for any third party content embedded in that (e.g. background music). This is basically how Netflix works these days and one of the reasons they are mopping up the media market that is still focused on creating and selling content for individual TV channels.

I have a half-baked theory about music theory that this is best facilitated by playing / singing instruments that are often holding the root of a given chord -- which means singing the bass part, playing bass guitar, or double bass, or cello in a string quartet. If you're playing entire chords (keys, guitar) you'll get some of it too, but I suspect there may be something about focusing a while on a monophonic low part that helps establish the feel for theory.

I don't think these are bad or unwarranted questions (a lot of the anti-DoH arguments are significantly worse) but I'm fairly confident they have a straightforward, empirically-supported negative answer.
Makes one reflect on how much do we take for granted when it comes to ethics.

I remember a (googleable) exchange of letters between the former owner and an ex-slave. The former was genuinely hurt by slave's betrayal and urged them to go back.

There were people for whom owning other people was so normalized that they were actually angry at their former slaves. I wonder if any of our current practices will be viewed as barbaric. Or maybe we'll go back and the future generations will laugh at our idealistic concept of "human rights", while sipping drinks served by their slaves.

So is a threat to the President a freedom of speech issue? It was just speech. How about if you use such speech to manipulate the market? Or slander? Libel? Obscenity? Telling someone to kill themselves (spoiler alert: you may get convicted for involuntary manslaughter)? [0]

In this case the fine was not for the speech but for the market manipulation. Saying "oh we were the victims of a hoax and just believed what a random site said" is not a defense. Case law obviously has plenty of precedent for consequences of free speech.

Yes the 1st amendment guarantees freedom of speech and this is where all the confusion starts. Everybody has their own definition of freedom of speech. Most are wrong or uninformed [1]. Given that even the Supreme Court has varying opinions on this from time to time just says it's not an easy topic. No, you don't have a blank cheque for saying anything you want without consequences. Speech is still very much regulated, written press and broadcasting are regulated (differently), etc. You have laws that criminalize slander, market manipulation, etc.

Your freedom ends where another person's freedom begins.
