> No, that's not true. Money can be either debt-based or non-debt-based.

Well, you are right in that money _can_ in theory be non debt based. However, currently it is not, and I am quite confident that if you tried to come up with money that is non debt based, first, it would work horribly badly and second, there would emerge almost immediately a debt based money. You see, it is practically impossible to forbid a debt based money. If I have three friends that trust me, I can write on a paper that "if you give this paper to beefield, he will give you five apples". Now that paper is literally money between my friends. And there is very little you can do to stop that. You see that also in crypto world. Crypto people are vehemently against fractional reserve banking and anybody being able to generate money. Obviously there are now instruments that are newly created money supply for all practical and theoretical purposes (e.g. tether and exchange deposits), but somehow the cognitive dissonance seems to be too strong to admit that.

Ecosia is from what I can tell a frontend for Bing. That is again a US-based solution, even if their veneer is from somewhere else (is it? I can't find it easily).

As for Qwant, it says it's based in France but I know nothing about it.

Just from the face of it, it's not clear that these solutions are better (Qwant is a maybe and Ecosia is a definitely not). This ambiguity coupled with their relatively unknown nature could be one reason why the EU did what it has done.
there is nothing special about 5g vs current solutions. it’s just faster and supports more clients per station with worse range.

>The degree to which everything runs on this sort of system is kind of horrifying, once you're exposed to enough things like this for that to sink in.

So? It clearly works.

People want everything to be high quality master craftsman type work but almost nothing is and it almost never matters. People like to think that the auditors are going over the papers with a magnifying glass and that their landscaper is applying exactly the right fertilizer for the soil conditions. In reality the auditors are skimming the papers and the landscaper is just using whatever brand has worked decently in the past.

Most work done most of the time is little more than the minimum and that's all the world needs. You can either look at that as sloppy and low effort or efficient allocation of resources.
Just test whether the API works or whether the properties are missing or methods throw exceptions?

The kind of testing you are complaining you can't do is exactly why user agent is broken, what if you test for Chrome and then Brave/Vivaldi start supporting the speech-to-text API and your broken website still says "sorry, you need Chrome" for no reason?
I am not well versed in the Physics counterpart of Noether's work, but the mathematics side is quick to explain: the isomorphism theorems in group theory (originally, in ring theory) were one of the main impacts of her work.

A quick skim of Wikipedia tells me that the isomorphism theorems were later than the theorem in physics [1] [2] by about 5 years. Looking at it quickly, these are not the same thing, and although in spirit similar, I am not sure what the exact historical progression was.

I wonder if standard abstract algebra modules could teach this history in a way that tells more about the story behind the isomorphism theorems. In my abstract algebra class, Noether was not really mentioned, and usually the focus is (for example) on the progress from Greek geometry (e.g. squaring the circle) to modern algebra. I don't think anyone is at fault for this, but I would personally like to have a more accessible introduction to Noether's legacy via pure mathematics.

> I love Slopes and its lone developer deserves all the praise, and yet a week ago I've received an unwarranted ad for the paid subscription disguised as a notification... Not cool.

You just need to notify Apple that a particular App in the store violates their ToS.

I've done this before, and in a matter of a few days, the App is removed from the store, and the other apps of that dev are scanned for ToS violations. Then all other apps of those devs are removed from the store, and then the dev is banned from the store. If the dev wants to regain anything back, then they will have to go through a very expensive multi-month long process to achieve that.

Apple does not mess around, so I would reach to the dev of an App you like and use personally first, because the moment you notify Apple it will rain Hellfire.

When you hate the enterprise, build your own software
But it is not a tradeoff in the cases you picked, rather one set of formalisms has drastically more inconsistencies than the other. E.g. pilot waves: you gain having real numbers (which I personally see little value in) and you gain having a more mechanistic intuitive source of the interference (which is indeed interesting). However describing multiple interacting entangled particles becomes incredibly difficult, describing annihilation and second quantization which is needed for the quantum behavior of fields is not completely done yet, and (what I consider the most substantial problem) you can not work with finite level systems (i.e. anything but a spinless particle in a box is very difficult to describe by pilot wave theory).

In short, pilot waves were a worthwhile avenue of research, but we have seen they are incredibly cumbersome or even insufficient in many quantum mechanics problems.
> i'd argue Startpage is still better

Why would you argue this? Adtech companies are one of the big sources of problems with privacy online.
Maybe after people stop using the user agent for stupid reasons it can be made useful again. User agents should be stuff like "Firefox 71.0" or "Chrome 79.0.3945", not "Mozilla but really AppleWebKit disguised as KHTML, but no really I'm Chrome but maybe I'm Safari"
How do you mean? The presence of a public key doesn't tell us what has been encrypted with it or if the private key has been shared with anyone. How will a debugger tell us any of that?
Normally, I'd agree with you, but this seems a bit too on-the-nose for me. When people have to talk about a shady or immoral activity or put mentions of it in writing, they usually get very creative in finding an inconspicuous name for it.

As such, if this were really a backdoor, I'd expect it's identifiers to look maximally boring and no direct reference to the NSA given anywhere.

Companies that are US-based can be depended upon to leak like a sieve with very little prompting. Given that, the EU option is the smart option. In the EU, there is at least a modicum of accountability and some expectation in the law (in theory but more importantly in practice) that people are respected and left alone.
The hints do seem like a good approach, though scary from a fingerprinting side as they're much more fine-grained.
I tried using no UA header at all for a period of a few weeks, many years ago when "appsites" weren't as common, and yet a lot of sites failed to load mysteriously, showed odd server errors, or even banned my IP for being a bot.

I expect no UA header to be even less usable now that sites are more paranoid and app-ified, so instead I use a random one. That still confuses some sites...

Apple should not have that kind of power, though. They have been wrong before.

Instead, the scrutiny and investigations should be public so that the developer can defend themselves.
But if it's really the key to a backdoor, it has to be used somewhere in the code. E.g., some part of Windows had to check something signed with the key or encrypt something with it.
User-agent was never feature detection, only a proxy for it, and frequently resulted in preventing users from using things that the browser was capable of supporting.

It's just there is too much bandwidth there and some could be repurposed for "telemetry". Many things can be derived from parallel audio/video/IMU streams from multiple phones/devices around a certain spot of interest. Storing them for e.g. a month, automatically analyzing streams with Deep Learning, with suspected ones passed over for a human review. 5G could be a testing tech for that due to bandwidth capabilities.
Because they are the good guys of course :-) Almost all triple A games are made in the US itself or allies (UK/Canada/Japan/EU) so it’s expected these games will have a positive view. Same reason it’s true in Hollywood. Most people just want to get on and have fun with a game, not overthink politics and ethics and I don’t see it as an issue. The more annoying thing is when you’re nudged to know random guy is evil due to generic Russian/Middle East accent.
Are you asking HN or Napoleon?

Edit for me, the fascination with Rome is almost more what came after it lost its central place in the Empire - the slow decline; the almost complete depopulation in the 500s; the rise of the Church; the power struggles between France, the Holy Roman Empire, and Roman nobility; the Renaissance and the Counter-Reformation; the age of Revolutions; and finally its place in a united Italy.

Each generation has its own view of Rome, and they reflect and refract off each other.

I've thought about this a lot, it's my goto "one day I'll write a book about this".

I frame the problem slightly different (heh):

Different disciplines, branching out, will (or so says my hypothesis) discover the same topologies, but express them differently due to different scopes (perspective, dimensionality, DSLs [...]).

What I'm thinking about is: how can we parametrize the manifestations of these scopes, and, ubiquitously, reverse-engineer them, thus linking all the systems?

Then: which systems are topologically identical? If there are classes, how many? How do they differ? Are they (the systems OR the classes of systems) related?

If so, is there a hierarchy (or are there multiple hierarchies)?

My urge for this came from the intricate geometric representations for arithmetic problems; different scientific disciplines and industries just appear to fall into the same pattern.

If someone knows a book that touches on this topic, please let me know about it, this thought is haunting me for years now :-)
