Personally, I'd be tempted to write Git for Word as a plugin that Just Worked. Users are given a new interface (The Document Repository?) from whence to select documents. Every auto-save is a commit. Enforce "explaining why" by ... what, requiring an in-document comment near the changes? A popup asking for explanation, and that's added as a commit message?

I don't know, I'm just spitballing. Sounds like it'd be fun for awhile to attempt to seamlessly get this into the workflow and see how it's accepted.
Hah, that's my exact same workflow. Sublime for random notes, clipboard buffer. Vscode for JavaScrcheck on package uspsipt/typescript. Intellij for Scala. I also have a dated log loh of todos that I edit in vim with some helper scripts that keep add a datestamp for each new day that I open it.

I've lightly forayed into vim and emacs before, but can't live without the built in language support
Perhaps the parent commenter is worried of public keys being used as a tracking vector?
I have around half of Technics and I managed to sort and store all my sets with 3 boxes like that.

Next time I need an upgrade, I might just build similar larger boxes myself. The design is pretty good, the only improvement would be to adapt the bucket size to the lego parts length.
Would you rather the funding for Palantir sit around and do nothing, or pay real human beings?

What do you think all those expenses are? Someone else’s income.
I’d like to see a plan, any plan at all, to power northern US cities with renewables. Specifically places like NYC, Boston, and Chicago.

In the winter months there is 9 hours of overcast daylight. There isn’t any room to build a solar farm. There isn’t any room to build a wind farm unless it’s in the water.

Hell I’d like to see a realistic plan to power DFW with renewables.
I've met Arvid on a meetup here in Berlin and am following his journey ever since. I read the book and found it to be very actionable and detailed (especially, for me, the tech part of it). I've enjoyed reading about the "war stories" combined with the learnings from the sold startup. Can recommend it if you are into that.

It's great to see the amount of resources he posts for free on the blog / Twitter without locking them away. Thanks Arvid!
> I'm curious, what are the "good" methods for discerning/filtering quality of people?

Observation is probably the best method. I rarely have found form options to be effective. A good chunk of 'good' people tend to get filtered out from my observation.

Generally the approach that has worked for me having a tier system. People who meet your criteria get greater access etc over time.

> How are "good" and "bad" quality of people categorized?

Generally, "good" is anyone that helps your community prosper. "Bad" are typically people who cause unwanted conflicts, create a toxic environment etc.
> Whereby asks for $90 per user.

Whereby costs $90 per Organisation for Meetings up to 12 users. We have a url for each team without a password and it works for us. Yes, 1 person manages those meeting rooms.

Add $10/month to extend to 50users.

Whereby was the best I could find to share screen of Fedora, still limited as sharing only works under Firefox not their Chrome based app or any other variant of Chrome I could get my hands on. Zoom, jutsi and others couldn’t properly share screens nor application Windows.

The technology to do this is there, e.g. https://www.energymeteo.com/products/virtual_power_plant/tec.... In Germany there is currently a lack of putting it into use.
Commits of a version control have text that explain why, when and who.

I think it's more about the user interface. The user interface of Git is essentially what programmers already do - code.
> It’s disgusting that nothing will be done because everyone is addicted to cheap goods from China

I think it's better to shift from that, directly to not letting people (particularly those with means) to make excuses for using PRC goods when it would be almost as convenient to use goods from anywhere else.

It's a start, compared to just letting people say “oh well, guess I'll just give in completely”.
I wonder if it’s worth the effort to add functionality to take advantage of this in GCC, clang for just these CPUs?
People are doing incredibly stupid things that hurt nobody but themselves all the time. Should we put these people to jail?

Here’s a crazy idea: don’t use that ad company.

It might be not so much age as experience. With experience comes expectations of what a control should look like and how it should behave.

* It's the experienced users who were were less likely to recognize the "burger menu" or the three dots (does that have a catchy name) as something potentially useful. They didn't look like "real" controls. It was the less experienced users who just naturally tried clicking on anything near the top that looked interesting, or waving the cursor around looking for hovertext on active components.

* Confronted with a landing page that seems to have nothing more than some splashy graphics and a few words - notably no scrollbars - experienced users are likely to wonder if the page is broken for them (because that was a very common experience at the height of the browser wars and still persists). Less experienced users who grew up with smartphones are more likely to start swiping right away.

A user who was older but not experienced with computers would align more closely with the young 'uns on most of this. When everything's completely new you just start experimenting. It's when you think you know things work but they don't work that way any more that things start to get frustrating.
Not really. I can imagine many scenarios where only NSW licenses would be collected. It doesn’t say that it’s a breach of part of a national system?
Uncapitalized "french" is common in "french fries" and is also a verb meaning to remove meat from the end of a bone.

I think English is almost always capitalized even when it means spin on a billiard ball.

(I'm not sure about capitalization of "french" in the context of kissing, but I _think_ it's usually capitalized there.)
Tit for tat with the lost of their audience capabilities Facebook leverages momentum on Apple's tax friction with Epic Games.
> Just because something publishes conspiracy theories, doesn't mean it's always wrong.

Of course. So I also mentioned the decision of Wikipedia community, at least they find the signal-to-noise ratio of The Epoch Times is low enough to be banned on their platform.

> Most people in China would consider concentration camps in Xinjiang to be a conspiracy theory.

Maybe. But as someone who fits your "people in China" criteria, I can add a data point: I myself and most of my friends actually don't consider the existence of these camps (or even forced labor) a conspiracy theory. We believe it. However we consider claims like "organ harvesting" a conspiracy theory. I'm unable to provide further insight on why we would think so though, so I guess you can claim I'm brainwashed, but I can say it would be much more complicated than that :-)
Hey everyone!
I’m very excited to introduce our new product, SpeechText.AI.

SpeechText.AI transcription service can accurately transcribe conference calls, interviews, podcasts, lectures, and meeting records in more than 30 different languages and dialects.
Our award-winning speech recognition technology achieves a word error rate of 3.8% on the open source LibriSpeech dataset (~1000 hours of clear English speech). SpeechText.AI's speech recognition technology is now almost as accurate as human transcriptionists.
Please feel free to create a trial account https://speechtext.ai to see how it works. We will be looking forward to your feedback and questions in the comments about SpeechText AI.
Ads are a monetization method. I pay a company by consuming ads in their app. So this is definitely something Apple should charge for: it circumvents normal in-app payments.
What an obnoxiously written article.
Waiting for next side-channel attack..
Not really, as there isn't a linearity or markup feel to the XML. Outside of straight text changes, formatting, rearranging, and internal markups, are not possible to 'visually' diff in the XML.
If someone 'knows/sees' product X is over/under valued, he/she will act on it (buy or sell it) which will bend the price to that new value.

Now there are no absolute certainties, and the knowledge that come close to absolute certainty and aren't publicly known, are usually pretty illegal to share.

What's left it mostly speculation. Which is fine, that is how this all works.
Realizing the Dream of Rotating Detonation Engines
Yep. They've had version control for at least a decade, diff'ing also, by way of Compare. I'm also not sure why people are fascinated with using git here. It's weird seeing all of the complex solutions in this thread for a problem which does not exist.

Edit: I meant 'fascinated with using git here in this context'.
Although anything is possible, this is no evidence, and I hardly believe it.

People lives are worthing much more than their organs when they are used for labor so I don't see any reasonable benefit from doing that. Plus, Falun Gong has a long history of fighting this, still without any evidences brought to the table, so I have some doubts about their assumptions.

The issue in Xinjiang is already serious enough, no need to add some unconfirmed facts which may just make us lose credibility if they're proved fake.

Yarn 2.2: Dedupe, Faster, Lighter
I doubt it. Even in the 40s, with no internet or cell phone cameras, even back then most governments knew about the holocaust as early as 41-42. There were evidence from concentration camp prisoners who escaped, and probably other kinds of evidence...I mean it's kinda hard to hide exterminating millions of people even if you're super efficient and organised.
The stories we hear from China are despicable, but again - they suggest cultural genocide, not actual genocide.

From my POV as a former bouncer turned software developer, causing a fuss (assuming you mean in the moment) isn't the right move.

If you blow up and start yelling at the bouncer (who will get fired if he doesn't scan your ID), you're taking it out on someone who can't change the policy, and you're going to sully the entire evening for the rest of your group. Contact management, absolutely, but causing a fuss at the scene is less than effective.

And there is a flipside to the physical safety issue - there were two stabbings (and countless other attacks) in the club I worked at, and we were able to positively ID the attackers within ~30 minutes of the incident, which led to their arrest hours later.
So is this a BBS?

There isn't one today, aside from running your own DNS server, and you can run your own DNS-over-HTTPS server. My understanding is that Firefox still respects /etc/hosts in DNS-over-HTTPS mode, too. I'm unaware of any such tooling that installs a glibc resolver stub.

RFC8890 explicitly refers to "the interests of that child's parents or guardians" when the child is using a web browser, although individual system configuration is not within the remit of the IETF.

RFC 8484 makes no reference to how DNS-over-HTTPS should be configured, and in the face of widespread DNS hijacking, enforcing DNS-over-HTTPS in browsers may have been the correct solution - but that doesn't mean we can't do better by defining a standard (perhaps under the remit of the Free Desktop XDG group), encouraging operating system vendors to ship secure DNS configured by default, and then convincing Firefox et al to use that standard.
I get the impression no-one really knows because the potential capabilities and engineering realities knock up against the limits of what we understand. They are experimental machines that work in a way we barely understand. So maybe something really revolutionary, or maybe just more efficient Netflix recommendations.
Because whatever Trump apparently did is way worse than China apparently sticking a million Muslims in concentration camps?
I believe you could use SSH config files to restrict which keys that each host would be able to see.

Something along the lines of:

Host a.example
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_a
IdentitiesOnly yes
I'm pretty sure web browsers are sandboxed and that it has taken a significant effort to get there.
Interesting perspective. But I wouldn't say I want to use git because I want to branch and merge. I would prefer all history to be linear -- it's just not always possible. My main draw toward git is just for keeping track of past versions along with comments describing the changes (that's what I see as "the story" as you put it). It's nice to know I have merging tools available to help me if I get stuck in such a situation, but I would prefer to never have to merge anything.
You can at least try discussing real valuations of various securities (aka fundamental analysis). Then, whenever current market insanity brings the price below the real valuation, you buy. Fundamental analysis looks like full time work though.
It's a multi-billion dollar market that they could, potentially, completely dominate using a technology solution. That's exactly the industry Google goes after.
Why have you decided to boycott Chinese products? There's a billion people there, and most of them have nothing to do with the government. They just want to sell toys or computers or whatever it is, in order to be able to eat.

I don't boycott Apple just because the country they are based in (according to the note in the box) has committed some crimes over the years.

And in the US people at least ostensibly have the right to choose their own government, AND there's a culture for large corporations to lobby government directly.

You'll find the same people who want to boycott Chinese products are ironically also quite good at keeping us aware that people in China can't really speak their own minds.

Also, at what level should the boycott happen? Should I just boycott Californian luxury electronics manufacturers? All Californian firms? All US? The world is a tangled web, why is the political map the one whose lines you use?
> I am not talking about boycotting. I have relatives in IL. There are good people in IL who don‘t like the way the PL issue is dealth with.

See what I did there?
I don't believe you'd be able to convince anyone not in tech that writing "![](path/to/file.jpg)" is in any way better than clicking "insert image" if you just want to send someone a report. Never mind explaining that paths need to be relative and resources included in the attachments.

Even I, happily maintaining some pages in reST, wouldn't want to inflict that on people.
What does it say about the "EI" of its users to expect an apology though? That is a much deeper and more interesting topic. Do you really wish for that because a service failed? Is it required for you to make peace with zoom?

This is a standard issue corporate apology. Being sorry, pronouncing personal involvement and responsibility. My company would post this too, there is little emotional intelligence involved that would lead to such a decision.

Granted, I am angry at my provider if something goes wrong. An apology might be nice, but pales in comparison for getting to know the reason.
Seems like IETF's mission statement disagrees with you:

> The Internet isn't value-neutral, and neither is the IETF. We want the Internet to be useful for communities that share our commitment to openness and fairness. We embrace technical concepts such as decentralized control, edge-user empowerment and sharing of resources.

It is clearly about religion. Read the UN report or the first sentence of the linked article:

“China has secretly built scores of massive new prison and internment camps in the past three years, dramatically escalating its campaign against Muslim minorities”

On a separate issue, the CCP is also rounding up trouble makers, and people that refuse to follow along and learn Mandarin would definitely qualify.

Of the last 10 books I bought on Amazon 4 were faulty prints with miscut pages, misaligned pages, misprint pages. Two of them had misprint covers. All of them were sold as new by Amazon itself. I am done with buying books from them
The easiest way to experience Turkmenistan is to go on the Mongol Rally. They work with a visa company to give all the participants a letter of invitation, which is valid for two months, for a five-day transit without a guide.

Some facts that I found funny at the moment:
- they gave us a GPS device at the border to keep plugged in so they could track us. We just threw it in the back because our old crappy car didn't have a lighter. They didn't check the data when we left the country.
- they had a bank rate for exchange and a black market rate. The black market rate was 1 USD for 16 something and the bank rate was 1 USD for 3 something of the local currency. You could pay in USD, of course getting ripped at the bank rate. We managed to change some money on the street.
- a room at a normal hotel costs more than 80 USD, we found something similar to a hostel for 15 USD and still went to the Grand Turkmen, acted like we stayed there and stole some Internet
- a SIM card with 1 GiB of Internet was around 40 USD, we passed
- the Internet goes through an IPS that blocks everything we use in the western world: FB, Gmail, Whatsapp, VPNs etc. I had to tunnel through an SSH server listening on port 443 just to be able to send an email. Images didn't work, because the connection closed (I think they were cutting connections based on sequence numbers or something)
- you couldn't take any photos, they checked our mobiles upon leaving the country. Funny, because Ashgabat was beautiful and it's in the Guiness Book for the most marble and for the most waterfalls
- whenever we were alone, it took only 10 minutes tops for someone with a walkie-talkie to pass next to us
- they removed all people from a whole boulevard to make room for some official hotshot to pass
- we were listening to music in the car with the windows lowered and I later read that it was illegal. Maybe that's why everyone was staring at us
- beer was available at almost any place
- we slept at Darvaza, "the gates of hell" one night. The next day we headed north and ran out of water.
- we had some work performed on our car and the mechanics were very friendly

All in all, it was a fantastic experience and I would totally do it again.
so many mis-conceptions.

Japanese don't all wear masks. They all had experience wearing them but it wasn't common to see more than 5% of people wearing them at any one time until Covid

Japan is not remotely hygienic. Most hospitals and doctor's offices would be shut down by the health inspectors in the USA. I've seen all kinds of disgustingly dirty beds, cabinets, shelves, tables, and equipment in my 14 years here. Most restaurants as well. It was only covid that finally got them to cover food items at bakeries and buffets. It's easy to lose your appetite when you see kids sneezing on all the food.

And for the last 2/2.5 months the country has seemed mostly not caring about Covid. People are partying at bars, restaurants, and coffee shops and their masks are off. Clubs are even open.

Something else must explain why Covid hasn't been bigger here but it is not hygiene
First- and sur- are part of the problem here. People tend to talk about given and family names to distinguish name semantics from name order.
All good points. Reach out to me on social media and I’ll send you a few stickers!
Businesses developing and selling their own software products can easily reduce the effective income tax rate even further to 5% with the new IP Box regulations.

This is an extremely low rate for a developed country and there are plans to make tax avoidance by limited companies even easier in 2021 by incorporating solutions from the Estonian tax system.
This is a great addition to the book itself. Well done!
This is a false dichotomy, the point was that we should scale back all the QE shenanigans to prevent these second order effects.
These are all great post hoc arguments, but we could equally well list factors that point the other way. They have very dense cities and packed public transport. They have a culture of presenteeism that discourages sick leave and working from home. They have one of the most elderly-heavy populations in the world. Etc...

Regardless, it does seem like GP's point is correct. The political leadership isn't necessarily what makes a difference: it's all of the other factors.
Thanks!

I've always found the indie hacker/bootstrapped founder community to be very open and supportive. Many of the people who wrote the guides and articles that I learned lots from have never paywalled their content. If at all, they added some sort of additional product, a course, a book, or consulting opportunities. But the content was always free for those who'd need it most. And that's what I wanted to do as well.
It doesn't have to.
Noticed first comment, reviewed scope of project to place this being nearly identical to other project of which have availability to commercial use by default.

That's the kind of thing I just assume a mobile keyboard autocorrected. It's a forum, not a publication. Armchair editors need not apply.
John Oliver recently made a episode on the subject (China & Uighurs: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17oCQakzIl8
The Communist Party of China (CPC) are running sinicization and antireligious campaigns of ethnic and religious minorities. The totalitarian and authoritarian countries don't make good neighbors. China will be making inroads into Taiwan soon if the world does not act.
Having to fall back into unsubstantiated hyperbole like "worst president in history" and "screwing the country" probably doesn't help to win anyone over.
I also have this issue with the disappearing window borders.

I remember on IRIX they were so bold, a real tool to be used. Same on Windows up to and including Windows 7. Now it's like you have a 2 pixel wide invisible border, hard to click, which may be the shadow of the window, or at the edge in the window; it's hard, specially when working over VNC. Nothing is gained by freeing up those 10 horizontal and vertical pixels.
