We can send half a dozen robotic missions for the price of one carrying people. Just send two spacecraft for redundancy.

As to Hubble, that is pretty bad example. If people were present with Hubble they would be able to do exactly nothing. Everything was prepared on Earth and only then sent to space.

Also, the cost of servicing mission was almost as much as it would cost to make a copy of Hubble. The cost of servicing mission was reported 250M and the cost of sending Hubble was reported 4.7B but from what I remember most of this was R&D, making software, tools, developing plans, etc. A lot of spare parts for Hubble were already available (it is typical to have copy of everything on Earth for debugging and so on).

Robotic missions have the option of being scrapped and sent again which is not really an option for human missions.
If you're talking about spoken, probably the difference is something more like English v German.

Individual words can look similar but combine them into a sentence and you probably wouldn't be able to parse it on a first take (if they were transcribed into romanized letters), and there are some grammar differences.
China considers Taiwan and Hong Kong both to be absolute existential to their safety and territorial integrity (as to be honest would every other country in the same position), and the leadership will never budge on the issue, so unless you're ready to start paying in bottlecaps probably not.

>Who, if anyone, should be 'world police'?

In an increasingly pluralistic world multilateralism is much more sensible position than some sort of hegemonic world police.
Since we wrote the post we started discussing with the appropriate parties to solve the licensing issues.
> It's actually "trial and error", although that doesn't speak any better for autocorrupt.

Indeed. You got me there. But the point stands, as you mentioned.
Great idea! Renaissance of the original Internet.
>So long as a service provider doesn't do their own curation, they are not held responsible for the content that is posted.

Except they are held responsible if they don't curate. Look at laws like SESTA to see how platforms that don't self-curate content that could sexualize minors are legally liable.

I'm not saying SESTA is bad, I'm saying this idea that platforms need to be hands-off towards curation to maintain safe harbor protection is not true.
Sometimes, when analyzing bias, it's more important to pay attention to what isn't said, but to what isn't ever mentioned.

For example, it's easy to be factual and accurate when you can pick subjects that don't touch anything in a list of sensitive spots.

Another thing to keep in mind is the intended audience. If they don't expect more than, say, 0.1% of the Chinese population to watch that content, they might relax the censors. There are half a dozen cases of Brazilian rock records sung in English where the international version wasn't censored, but he Brazilian version was very tamed down.

I will admit that I haven't watched their content, though, so feel free to give a rebuttal.
That is lost revenue for the bridge maintenance fund.
> This company is also in love with the H1-B program. I don't mind H1-B at all, but when companies exploit humans from other countries so they don't have to pay American wages, that's where I draw the line, it's bad for everyone

My perspective as a non-American: I'd gladly work for less than "American wages" (which is still more than I earn in my country) in exchange for a shot at a green card.
Hmm, that's very useful information, thank you! Personal directories seem more useful and easier to put together, I think you're right.
If anyone understands the concept of investment, it is someone in finance. To claim they only care about cutting costs maximizing revenue today at the expense of the future is ridiculous.
They also "boost productivity" by shortening schedules by 20%. More profit. More corners cut.
Not to pile on, but I think you're imagining some kind of TLS framework that simply doesn't exist currently. It's not clear if you're misunderstanding what exists now, or you're alluding to a different possibility without clearly articulating it.

> I guess it's possible for a phishing website to not bother validating the client certificate presented at all

Why would a phishing site do anything to discourage a connection from a potential victim? Of course a phishing site would accept an invalid or missing certificate! Even if the site was impersonating something like amazon.com, Amazon hasn't issued client certificates to all of its users so the whole point is moot.

I got close to http://bash.org/?5273 recently.

My work at one point had an OS X specific piece. So I got a wreck of a Macbook Air 2011 around 2013 or 2014, can't quite remember, the original owner tried to replace the LCD and failed spectacularly (I think replacing the screen now would require replacing the motherboard) and sold it screenless for cheap, perfect for my purposes. I added a Thunderbolt-Ethernet dongle to it, chucked it in the parts cupboard (it has slats so it airs well) and forgot about it when I changed primary clients in 2015 and I no longer needed it. A couple weeks ago I needed a Mac again and thought hey, I have a wreck. I checked LuCI and hey, there is wreck in the DHCP leases, that thing is still alive, I ran VNC against it, but what's my password? I haven't logged in for more than four years, let's reset the password. So I go to the cabinet, pull it out and https://i.imgur.com/SQbISmB.jpg URGH

Humans have recovered and prospered from far more dire circumstances, including many immigrants to the US and Europe.
I see, you meant true independence as a nation?

Hong Kong has a very complex history and culture about independence. To be brief, majority of Hong Kongers never wanted independence as a country. (It's weird but there was a split of people being pro-China and pro-UK) The thought of Hong Kong independence has been around for long but didn't become major topic and a significant opinion until recent years (after 2014-2016 with rise of figures like Edward Leung).

Historically, China has threaten to "liberate" HK if UK gave Hong Kong any form of independence/progressive democracy. UK also has no intention on instigating conflict with China, especially US was friendly with China in the 60s/70s/80s to fight Soviet. There was an unclassified UK government transcript that backs this information. Ultimately, HKers/Brits/China wanted to maintain the status quo and the final solution was to give HK back to China with some underlying promises (1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration - Basic Law - 1 Country 2 System).
You're blaming the accountants for something the article clearly says is the result of management decisions...made by an engineer...

(McDonnell's Stonecipher was an engineer that rose into management ranks and was the one that thought up the brilliant idea to just cut costs regardless of the consequences.)
Not really. Here's one article that says otherwise (there are a lot more): https://thecounter.org/weve-heard-staggering-statistics-food..., but ultimately the crux of it is that there are things like applesauce and canned diced tomatoes out there. Companies can pay less for ugly produce to make those products where looks don't matter, so they do that. The market works well in this case.
Why is the idiot compressing everything?
IIRC, this is happening because of the complete internal rewrite - the relevant APIs to expose to extensions simply don't exist yet, and they're implementing them to get the most-wanted extensions available first.
Even if you take the most libertarian view of free speech, the proper recourse would be to sue and let the courts decide and/or work with Congress on explicit legislation on the responsibilities of content hosters. Declaring that he would use his executive authority to punish a private company for personal injury is dangerously authoritarian in my view.

I don't get this reference. Can you explain it or show an example?

There was a time where a popped collar was a sign that you were a problematic person. Probably still is in a certain context. I think people are going to do some pattern matching with your clothing and people they've met/seen in the past. It's just a bit of human nature.

Maybe everyone should dress like Mr. Rogers or something.
Next.js is used by enough big companies that I’m not too worried about it. If Vercel the company were to close shop, there are plenty of large teams with a vested interest in keeping the next.js project alive. Also, at some point, improvements are nice but not strictly necessary. It would be fine if next.js went into maintenance mode and just optimized speed or kept up with new react / browser features.

We absolutely rely on people to act ethically even with incentive systems. Every incentive system is prone to abuse. Also, people are motivated by different incentives. These often boil down to their own ethical/moral values.
Well buddy, we are in the same boat.

What can you call a "normal country" these days?

A dozen some names will come up, but would there be any which aren't "retirement communes" for the rich like Canada? Not many of them have the same vibe, and dynamism. Quite a lot do actually stagnate.

You are missing the point.

I know it can be, but all analogies can be.
It's not a totally different situation. In fact, since with a human challenge trial, you're probably going to be inoculating both arms of the trial with a variable dose, you can use the data from the control arm of the challenge trial as essentially a phase 1 of the variolation trial.

I dunno if this story is authentic...

In high school, a teacher told me about an artist who was applying for a job. The application required three pieces of art. The artist included two pieces of art and a note explaining that the third piece was the postage stamp drawn on the front.
I too see no problem in a closed-source application so long as the data files are open. I like the IDE analogy here -- you can edit source code with a bunch of different tools. Some open, some closed. But the important thing is that the source code is readable by all of them.
There have been allegations of this and a lot of tests that provide anecdotal evidence, but as far as I know Google always denies the allegations and no one is actually sure. This older article briefly mentions it, at least: https://www.politico.eu/article/google-amp-accelerated-mobil...

I thought there was an active lawsuit about it too, but I can't find it now so maybe that was just speculation that there could be one if this was true.
I'm very confused by this claim. Rust's borrow checker is new, but everything else in the language is extremely familiar and recognizable to me from other languages I've worked with.

Structs and enums are all over the place

Free function definitions, and methods defined on a data type, are extremely common

Rust Traits are ways of naming groups of operations to be associated with different types, and share a lot of similarity with Type classes, roles, interfaces, mixins, etc. present in many common languages

async/await is similarly present in many common languages

Generics / Parametric Polymorphism, extremely familiar from C++, Java, C#, etc.

It's almost all modern takes on normal common PL things that have been in many languages for decades

So by my perspective, I see a very normal imperative language, with its own take and small quirks on very familiar features, and the only feature I've been able to come up with that's "completely unlike every other language people have been using for decades" is the borrow checker. One new unique feature seems well within the weirdness budget of a new language.

Could you expand a bit more on what it looks like from your perspective? What other features or properties of the language seem strange, alien, foreign, or otherwise completely unfamiliar to you?
fragile ... the word is fragile. We've built an insanely fragile economy. Take a look. There's been no war. 100% of the (not so great) US infrastructure that was there before SARS-COV-2 is still there. We've lost about 100k people, which is horrific but in the scheme of things at "USA" scale, and with the skewed demographics, not much of a hit to the economy.

And yet the economy is staggering and it's likely to get worse. Why? Because people have stopped doing things

We've built an entire economy around people doing things they don't really need to do. In and of itself, that's not so bad, but we've also built an economy with so little resilience, so much fragility, so little spare capacity that the mere fact of people stopping doing a bunch of stuff has the potential to cause complete economic disaster for, what 15-20M Americans?

This is utter insanity. It's like claiming that the only vehicle you need is an F1 race car because of course that's all you need: lean, fast, stripped down, powerful and ultimately focused on increasingly one thing. Meanwhile, it's totally obvious to anyone with a pair of eyes that it's a completely unsuitable design for anything except racing on a specially built course, and that the smallest thing is capable of destroying it.

We've built this insane economic system despite the blinding obviousness of calamities like pandemics, wars, storms, unrest, climate change and so on. The "system" will continue to function (very probably), but at what cost and to how many?

Today is a melancholy feeling. Happy to see SpaceX sending people to space, but sad a decade was lost.

We currently use a mildly exotic "temporary bastion" approach, where upon request / approval a dev can get a container launched. The container is launched on ECS running an ssh server, pinned to the dev's individual public key, and that container has the appropriate security groups / IAM roles to access various production resources.

Right now, a dev will 1) VPN to get shallow network access and 2) SSH over VPN to get deeper network access through the bastion container. Something like a database is security group'd off so that you need to be on the bastion container to access.

My question - would Twingate be able to support an ephemeral use case like this? I'm thinking ideally it can be launched as a sidecar container, and a dev could SSH through the twingate container. A lot of solutions I see don't seem to handle ephemeral situations super well, so I was curious.
I don't think it is as subjective as you might think. If it was you'd expect lists like the imdb top movies of all time to be constantly in flux. Instead, they're remarkably stable.

If you would have said one individual's taste is subjective or subject to more variance I might be able to agree, but with more data points it seems humans are able to more or less define good from bad objectively. Anything with 10,000 or more votes on imdb is likely within 5% of its final value with very few exceptions.

Personally I find anything over 7.4 on imdb watchable, over 7.8 quite good, over 8.4 incredible, and if it hits 8.9 or higher it's likely one of the best movies of all time.

So my definition of "good" is somewhere above a 7.4.

I don't blame anyone. I want the world to evolve into one where our society puts human welfare first. Blaming does not help that happen at all.

It is easy to get caught in a trap thinking heavily about money. When thinking about things we own, the emotion and fear centers are aroused far more than when we think about other people. To avoid this, I believe our society must be trained away from neoliberal and 'greed is good' thought.

Blaming people for this state of events, or the addictive qualities of facebook, or the dangerous misinformation spread designed to take advantage of cognitive flaws of the human mind - these practices will get us nowhere. One thing that businesses started doing right was the blameless postmortem.

Find the problem, fix it. Move on.

Jean-Paul Sartre called this out half a century ago when faced with the alt-right of his time:

>Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

The political wisdom is correct, poor people receiving UBI will actually spend that money and increase the velocity of money. That is genuinely more likely to cause inflation than bailing out a bank facing margin calls on its credit default swaps.

UBI is great, but if it's paid for by printing money instead of redistributing it, it will absolutely cause inflation.
Yeah every decade or so we let a company fail just to set an example to the rest. WaMu, in particular, is a pretty hilarious example. We, the public, bailed out JP Morgan and with those funds they purchased WaMu at pennies on the dollar.

> I'm convinced I won't be taken seriously.

As a fellow large male, I totally hear you. Getting empathy can be challenging.

WRT psychologists -- audition them. Schedule initial visits with 3, make all those visits, then see if you feel that one of them has listened and can help.

This inverts the power dynamic, at least to begin with. You're actively choosing someone who will work for you, and based on some of your own felt evidence. You don't have to worry about "making it work" with the 1 counselor you chose to begin with.

This is common practice. No good counselor will be surprised by it. Any who argue it can easily be dropped from your short list.

Baring your soul to 3 strangers sure can be daunting. I find it gets easier. And again, if it sucks with one of them, probably that's not the counselor for you.

> In 2020, it is still too difficult for everyone to set up their own website, so they settle for a page on someone else's [for] exchanging content with friends and family

This is patently not true. People were using email for this prior to Facebook's existence, which worked well enough ("Share photos via email! Share videos via email! Here's a funny story from grandma! RSVP to my birthday!") and was painless to set up; in fact, all the people who have Facebooks also have emails! But very few people are doing this anymore as their main mode of communication with friends and family; this kind of activity is now happening on Facebook, where people are happy with the ease that it facilitates. Small networks works fine, but nobody's interested, hence why Facebook is worth billions and billions of dollars and is a large website.
I don't think the US as a nation (or anyone in particular, for that matter) "has to" do anything. As usual, there are simply various diverse interests - military, commercial, scientific - and it's up to these interested parties to do what and when they think benefits them.
