The UK strategies appear to come from Dominic Cummings, whose blog reading list indicates they’re a fan [0] of the Rationality philosophy, and who has apparently made this exact behaviour an explicit part of the political strategies of the UK government on the grounds of game theoretic expected value etc.

[0] Other people more qualified than me to discuss the matter have argued variously that he is merely a fan — superficial familiarity but missing the point — or that he is reflective of the wider Rationality movement.

That people sometimes do shitty things, make mistakes or let me down, and no matter what, if I squint - I can see myself.

That I'm not always right, or always better than Joe. And that: I'm not always wrong, and Bob is not always better than me.

That we might hit our deadline. And the world will still be there if we don't.

That people do things I don't understand, for reasons I will never see or be able to anticipate. And that's simply the way it is.

It's a great post. You probably also found it via Tyler Cowen's MR post. The whole piece is good, but my favourite part was his other excerpt:

> “‘Like my cat, I often simply do what I want to do.’ This was the opening sentence of Derek Parfit’s philosophical masterpiece, Reasons and Persons… However, there was a problem. Derek did not, in fact, own a cat. Nor did he wish to become a cat owner, as he would rather spend his time taking photographs and doing philosophy. On the other hand, the sentence would clearly be better if it was true. To resolve this problem Derek drew up a legal agreement with his sister, who did own a cat, to the effect that he would take legal possession of the cat while she would continue living with it.”
Even if you disagree with his methods or conclusions, Foucault has some pretty interesting thoughts and arguments on the panopticon and is somewhat responsible for revitalizing interest in it in the 1970s.

For Foucault, the real danger was not necessarily that individuals are repressed by the social order but that they are "carefully fabricated in it" (Foucault, 1977), and because there is a penetration of power into the behaviour of individuals. (Foucault 1977).

Kind of chillingly accurate how that is when used to describe social media.

An important fact about Werbot is that there is no need to install additional software on a local machine or a remote server.

Werbot passes all the traffic through itself and all verifications take place directly in the core of the system. We do not change the way you are used to work on servers, we change the way you connect to them. Each connection is made with a single sign on (for example, user@werbot.com if using our SaaS version) and a user's private key. Once the user is signed on, a list of all available servers is displayed to him and he can automatically connect to one of them by just selecting the needed item on the list.

In the user's profile you can see the user's activity and the working time. Additional server access settings can be also managed through user's profile, for example you can set different access limitations by geolocation, IP, country or time schedule.

Previous omnivores.

I think we are rapidly getting to the point where we will be able to sustain ourselves effectively with non-animal foods in a way that will be more nutritious, more sustainable, and more environmentally friendly.

I want humankind to prosper longterm and I think our most immediate challenge to that is our violence towards each other and towards our environment; either one of which may very well destroy us in the next 100 years. If the majority of us adopted a view that intelligent life at all levels should be protected, I believe that our violence towards each other and towards our environment will abate. I hope this will allow us to address the next major challenge, which I see as a mass extinction event similar to one of the many we see written in Earth's geological record. To overcome this, we will need to become more intelligent, we will need to dramatically advance our technologies, and we will probably need to populate other worlds. But first, we need to not destroy ourselves.

I’d tend to say it the other way round, actually:

Compared with HTTP/1.1, HTTP/2 has known regressions which can be catastrophic on poor-quality connections, mostly due to TCP head-of-line blocking. At Fastmail we found concrete performance problems for some users from deploying HTTP/2 so that we rolled it back for a while and tried again later after shuffling a couple of things around to mitigate the worst such problems (can’t remember what we actually did). But even so, a small fraction of our users will get a worse experience from HTTP/2 than from HTTP/1.1. (Don’t think I’m speaking against HTTP/2; overall it’s an improvement for performance over HTTP/1.1, often a big improvement. But for developing things like interactive apps, it’s helpful to understand the differences and their effects.)

HTTP/3, meanwhile, does not suffer from such problems (which is most of why they made it). The main risk is that it’s less likely to work at all—but browsers take that into consideration and fall back to HTTP over TCP (HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2) smoothly.

Presuming you have capable server software, I’d honestly consider deploying HTTP/3 to be lower risk than deploying HTTP/2.

One should also consider the robustness of the HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 implementation. Consider such things as this variety of DoS attacks against HTTP/2 from the last six months: https://github.com/Netflix/security-bulletins/blob/master/ad.... It’s improbable that these are are only major attack vectors in HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 implementations.

> And if the figure is only applied to those who work then it rises to 113 minutes each day.

> So basically that’s over an hour and half sitting, or more likely standing, on the Metro, RER trains or buses according to a new study by France’s Urban Development institute.

A typical Houstonian, where the average commute is under an hour, isn’t pining for higher taxes and public transit.
Tips That Will Make You Have Meaningful Conversations
How much feel good and drinking relationships matter in upper management. And on the downside, how little facts weight in when compared to a manager's gut feeling.

Enthusiastically presenting a (factually wrong) solution can be a winning strategy. In high school, I thought I was a math genius because all of my solutions were judged as correct. Turns out, I was just a good presenter and nobody made any effort to check my results.

Managers in big companies will be happy to buy your product if it helps themselves save face, even if it is a net negative for the company. That's how they end up with so many useless initiatives that get canceled after a year of burning money.

Consultants are paid to be a straw man parrot. You tell their coworkers what your contact wants them to hear, so that they can blame it on you if their idea goes wrong.

The same source code given to different product and marketing teams can be a 100x difference in revenue. If the sales team is not rich, run. They either cannot sell the product, or they could not sell themselves to get commission.

Customer support matters a lot less than people think. A buggy 10-year-old software without support can still sell like candy if it solves a real and valuable business problem.

It is difficult to get brief clear details about how gun.js works. There are distracting or simple documents, discussions about high level ideas and tangentially-related topics. In some cases 'worse is better' yes but it sets a tone that the project is hiding internal problems of implementation or can not easy explain its own design.

The transparency of gun.js enterprise organizations also raises questions. Are people on your team related to you? Do you pay yourself and team and open source contributors?
From a startup perspective: Getting new combinations of stuff to work, even "enterprise" grade stuff, can be a messy horror-show, at least initially.

The parent didn't say "vulnerability" in the "security vulnerability" sense. They sad "vulnerable to a flaw", i.e. there is a design flaw and those versions have that design flaw - meaning users of it are vulnerable to apps taking advantage of that design flaw. I'd say it leaves users "vulnerable", and it's definitely a "flaw". It may be an API working as intended - but that doesn't mean it isn't flawed to the point of being embarrassing.
You are right, the article doesn't deliver and its title is just clickbait. This is the kind of shallow content that's flooding dev.to nowadays.
We're talking about privacy protections for all users, not just HN users. The change in iOS 13 doesn't allow you to do anything that wasn't possible before, the settings have existed for years. It "just" periodically asks if you really want to let that app access your location in the background all the time, showing you a map where it did so in the last few days. And according to the article, people are saying "no" a lot.

Although some people's imagination of Asia is different from geographic reality, I'll make it comprehensive by admitting that it's the same in India too. I'm sure it's the same in neighboring countries in the rest of Asia. Conformity and submission to authorities, with emphasis on (respecting) hierarchy is ingrained in people. Of course, the governments and authorities always like submissive people, and paint anyone with other views as a national threat (the latter is a global thing).

>“We recognise people are unequal, but we will ensure that their economic outcomes are”.

That's not the message at all. Marx makes no mention of equality of outcomes, and in fact, he is known to be one of the first socialists to speak against the abstract idea of "equality". The class system, determined by ownership and control of large scale productive capacity in society, is founded on (but, supports in turn) the notion of private property. For Marx, alienation was not a by-product of class inequality, or even the class system, at least not directly - it was a result of the nature of the capitalist production process in which people do not see themselves in the goods they make at another's direction.

>According to that theory, anybody with capital is in the upper class.

This is the problem with strict definitions of "capital" and "upper class". You end up saying that most people in our society are capitalists, which while it may be terminologically true, it misses the point of the critique, which appears to apply whether people are termed capitalists or proletarians. Most people are wage labourers - the fact that they may also own some mostly immobile capital, stocks and shares in public companies does not make them capitalists, any more than fur makes a wolf. This is because capital is about the production process: its appropriation of the product of labour at the end of the day, its extraction of surplus-value (or, if you don't care for Marx's value theory, UE-exploitation and domination) and its totalization in society.

The majority of people may have some kind of capital (do they?), yet given they can't live from it, it still rings strikingly true to say that a proletarian is defined by being only the possessor of his capacity to labour.

Whatever job we think require the very best in the field are often not performed by the very best. You'd think a book on topic X is written by an expert in X, but the truth is that it only takes enough skill to fool the average reader to sell books.

People who write libraries, compilers, OS kernels and so forth? All sorts.

Building regulations aren't in any way socialist, they are pretty much global and many countries, including the "freedom" loving USA, have extensive government-mandated building codes which include height restrictions or mechanisms to limit height.
