ATAK already has several hundred thousand end users, and is likely going to continue growing in popularity in the domestic environment. Extensions of the FBCB2/BFT concept have been none stop since the 90's really. The tactical cell phone has already found its place on the modern battlefield.

This directive however, likely has nothing to do with combat. Its more likely related to trying to maintain some semblance of OpSec when things which shouldn't be sent over these cell phones ends up being sent over these cell phones and to help avoid every other private from texting mom/dad/gf things which will then be immediately leaked, by reminding them of the "seriousness" of the situation.

I know the whole post is about progressives "erasing" evidence of failures, but your points don't make sense.

1. Could you point to things to back up socialism failed dismally?

2. At what point is affirmative consent anything similar to free love. Free love should still be consensual.

3. Eugenics is definitely a stain on progressivism, however I disagree that that has been erased. There's plenty of evidence of the US being swept up in the eugenics fervor.

This reminds me a lot of Carboniferous[1], which is a project that was done recently by another team at a hackathon I went to. They just focused on the carbon footprint of travel, and how to minimalise the amount used in a trip using different modes of transport. I think tech has a big opportunity to help us optimize our resource usage and make it more concrete to think about.

With the caveat that this problem often persists even within the eyes of the customer. A lot of people would agree with the problem statement of, "I need something to help me keep track of what I have to do." But "I", "keep track of" and "what I have to do" varies widely in ways that the customer isn't aware of.

Programming in a team and accepting that it is not 'my' code but 'our' code. Not feeling slightly pissed when someone else changes the (not my) code. For me, this was a total game changer and a complete change in programming style. The focus changed to using the most common idioms, the clearest and cleanest and most concise way of writing stuff down, and avoiding smart hacks or, if necessary, encapsulating and documenting smart hacks. Not being shy of writing stuff multiple times until it really is clean and inviting to be read and understood. Using a very strict style (including when/where to put white space and line breaks) that everyone else also uses so that code is easy to read for everyone. It improved my programming enormously and the bugs/line ratio went down. It also gave a much better intuition to smell fishy code. It also took quite a while to internalise, but I now always code like that, also in private projects and in quick hacks scripts in, say, Perl.

My second most important change was to learn how to use contract based programming, or, if the language has poor support, at least to use a ton of asserts. This, for me, feels like stabilising the code very quickly and, again, improved my bug/line ratio. It forces me to encode what I expect and the code will relentlessly and instantly tell me when my assumptions are wrong so I can go back and fix that before continuing to base the next steps on broken assumptions.
Even _that_ can be dicey, though. I can imagine being at a meeting with coworkers and concluding with, "hey, I'd like to talk to you about something later," to one of them. Later could've been outside the office -- it's unknown. That sounds like company time, but feels a little wrong. I think this case is going to be very heavily dependent on technicalities.
I think there are weird things about spacemacs. It’s probably somewhat good for someone who doesn’t know any emacs because a lot of the emacs defaults are bad. And for someone who wants vim bindings it’s good because it has a lot more than evil mode does. On the other hand I feel like a lot of the layers are developed by people who spend too much time tinkering with editor features trying to make the most complicated thing in the process. And this means they’re not bothered by needing to tweak configs all the time, and they are frequently restarting emacs so they don’t notice things like the terrible performance it can give people who use emacs in the more normal way of opening emacs on Monday morning and not killing many buffers all week.

The complexity can leave you with weird bugs. For example if you use regular emacs (X forwarding over a network) on X displays with different dpis, your text will look the same (physical) size on both. If you use spacemacs it can be wrong on one because of some hack someone added somewhere in that tower of complexity. There are plenty of other oddities in there.

Also as soon as one advances to wanting slightly more customisation, it can be really hard to do it with spacemacs. Whereas with regular emacs it’s quite easy to go from basically zero to some.
If you visit the Heraklion archeological museum on Crete, they have an astonishingly good timeline of the development of the Minoans (how they are called nowadays). Starting from stone age, and how they entered the bronze age. They were very established by 1700 BC. They were selling olive oil and pottery (at least) and importing tin and copper far and wide. You can see the bronze saws that were used to build ships and create a naval power and ability to trade.

I can also recommend visiting Knossos and hiring a local guide. It is not crowded and not too hot off season.

I once thought it'd be nice to do a blog post on all the cellphones I had owned, but after a ton of searching by year and type, I couldn't find photos of the two earliest cellphones I had. I scrapped the idea.

I do have photos of most of my workstation/computer setups since I was in high school. I'm currently drafting a post on all my workstations, and while I was digging through photos and editing the post, I came across photos of my very first two cellphones; photos I had taken so I could put them on eBay in the early 2000s!!!

I still have no idea what the model number of one of them is, but who cares?! I have a photo. I started to make a list of every phone I had since then! I'm glad I'm a data horder, even if I lose a ton of photos in the mess of my disorganization.

I'm sure some people who have beaten depression might say, "I'm glad I received empathy, kind words, and gentle encouragement; it helped me get over it." Others will say, "I needed a kick in the ass to get my life on track." I'm in the latter camp. Sounds like you're in the former. You can have empathy in both cases. Don't accidentally confuse "empathy" with "enabling."

>Laws should apply equally to everyone.

Two things stand out. First is the quote:

>The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

Second, the law including power imbalances as a reason to treat people different is already considered equality under the law. Consider we already have laws that treat certain groups of people different because of power imbalances. For example consider minors entering into contracts and how the law enforces such contracts.

The law also taxes people differently. Not just for income, but also family status. There are differences in how the law handles certain matters between two people when they are a spouse compared to when they are not (such as property transfers and social security).

The law also discriminates plenty based on age. For example, some people are allowed to withdraw funds from their tax deferred accounts while others are not, all because of differences in age (or in rarer cases other special circumstances).

If all of these are considered equal because the way the rules apply mean that you qualify when you are of the appropriate age/married/meet the specified life circumstances, then the purposed notion would also be equal as the law would equally apply to all when they are on the specific side of the power imbalance.

To set the standard the law must be equal to everyone would require re-evaluating much of the existing law and would fundamentally change quite a few facets of society.

> In the humanities ("Geisteswissenschaften", and similar disciplines) the situation is different. Knowledge is rather believable and not falsifiable, but only accepted on the authority of the person who uttered the sentence.

It's pretty clear that you don't actually know what philosophy, social science or the humanities entails, and how knowledge is actually produced and vetted in these fields.

There are some pain points though like their mobile app lacking some critical features and their use of Yodlee. Not associated, just wanted to share.

For sure, mass marketers prefer quantity to quality. Google/Facebook are not doing anything particularly novel in the realm of what is possible, nothing more than is needed to get accurate enough across a large number of users.

It's the more targeted uses of fingerprinting and data collection that are scary. If you're a person with lots of money or influence, there's already someone out there who is specifically trying to collect data about you in particular. Those people and organizations are looking at the data in much more detail than mass marketers.

Meditation helped me to deal with ADHD immensely. My ability to focus and concentrate is now on par if not better than most of my peers, though it requires me to spend about an hour every day in the morning to meditate.

Is there anything or anyone that Chomsky doesn’t call “fascist”? Yawn.
I disagree: saying "we don't have data" [0] doesn't say anything about the existence or lack of existence of underlying models. Models are refined all the time to account for exceptions and transitions shown in empirical measurements (Mercury's orbit, deflection of light & general relativity, for example).

The tetrahertz range is especially interesting precisely because it is an unknown between known non-ionizing and known ionizing effects. Extrapolating down from ionizing radiation biological effect data and panicking makes as little sense as extrapolating up from non-ionizing radiation biological effect data and making fun of the panic-ers.

I think it's a fantastic opportunity to prove or modify our existing models. But a mistake to assume the models hold true, given the historical intensity of debate around the (discredited) Linear No Threshold Model and subsequent alternative proposed models.

Edit: I would personally say 5G is more likely to be safe (no acute radiation-caused long term health effects) than unsafe. But I'm not one who likes to gamble, especially with the lives of the public.

This is not nearly accurate. NDTV "and others"(not sure of any other mainstream channels) have also hsitorically been hard on the UPA governments even if you consider them pro-Congress.
The current breed of mainstream channels (Zee, Republic, India) who hold most of the eyeballs in India are not just pro-government they blatantly lie to protect the government's incompetence. Added to the fact teh BJP is a top advertiser on TV media creates a dangerous incestuous relationship the scale of which we've not ever seen before.
Can't help feeling they are cheating a little bit by changing from minutes to seconds. I think they got a bit too doomy and trigger-happy on the minute finger and didn't want to backtrack.

The point about feedback is the root of my problem with DK as an idea.

In most professions, you have a ton of feedback indicating where you are, often formalized. In martial arts, you wear a belt showing roughly what level you're at, which you earned through tests done by people far senior to you. In the military, you wear your rank, maybe skill badges, and do constant training. In most other jobs, you have a title and get feedback from supervisors and such.

The hypothesis of DK seems to require that the person is evaluating their performance entirely on their own, possibly because the authors were evaluating comedic skill, which is a very subjective task and something everyone knows at least a little about. Moreover, it's one where you get bad feedback: good comedy among friends is not the same as comedy that pleases a crowd.

But in the professional world, you practice a craft towards a result and are exposed to your peers, the information on how you stack up is pretty objective and coming to you fairly consistently.

And I think the cases people attribute to DK are better explained by other mechanisms. In particular, there's a lot of confusion between self-knowledge and knowledge of the complexity of a task.

I have done phone screens and asked people stuff like, "how many numbers can be represented with 8 bits." But that's to screen out people who were applying to a job without having a clue what the job entailed. Not understanding a job description is different from not understanding your level of skill.

And I see plenty of self knowledge in interviews; if I ask about algorithms and data structures, a common answer is "I haven't looked at that since school." You learn: 1. the person doesn't think that skill is relevant to the job and 2. the person is willing to admit they aren't good at it.

I may disagree with the person that the skill is relevant, after all, I asked the question for a reason, but it's not a lack of self-knowledge on the part of the candidate.
The most obvious thing is listening to your designers, if you are in industry and are lucky to have them.

But with that said, it’s surprisingly hard to recruit designers to work on OSS projects, and I think you need to start out with a half-decent design before people who can actually help you will want to join on. So thank you for the input.
That's the difference between equality and equity. I'd argue that people push too much for the former when the latter is sometimes more appropriate. I'd say this is one of those times.

Since we're talking about the idea of different treatment under the law for rich vs. poor (well, "comfortable", in this case), tax law in the US is a fine example: the more income you make, the higher your marginal earnings are taxed.

I'm not trying to be snide, but this feels more alarmist than ever. I feel like we're further away from nuclear war than we have been in a long time.

There is no real science behind the doomsday clock. It's literally an argument from authority, and I think it should be challenged.
