Ideally, yes, but practically no. We are in the midst of a massive disinformation campaign aimed to undermine public trust in public institutions. It takes time to properly evaluate a paper in the manner you describe - and that's a key element of their game. Keep you distracted so they can control the narrative. No. We have to collectively decide to stop playing their game and shut it off at the source. Therefore our strategy must be to ignore papers from known bad actors.

> can't you leverage cutting off trade in the same way that he talks about threatening to blow up your island

If you are the only possible party the other party can trade with, then blowing up the bridge and blowing up your own island are, as far as the other party is concerned, equivalent, yes. So if there is any benefit to the other party in trading with you, they have an incentive to have that trade available to them, and hence to do whatever it takes to have you not blow up either your own island or the bridge.

However, if there are any other parties besides you that can be traded with, that is no longer the case, because you not being there just means they go trade with someone else.

Another thing to note is that the article's assumption of non-violence, which basically means neither party will do anything to harm anything that isn't their own property, also rules out blowing up the bridge, since the bridge, by hypothesis, is not the property of either party. A better analogy to withholding trade in the article's scenario would be something like building an impenetrable wall at your end of the bridge.

The alternative to most proprietary software is absolutely not "build it ourselves". Whatever your school is/was using Microsoft for is not a $1M/year expense. It might not even be doable for $100M/year.

You have to spread the costs across multiple orgs and hundreds of programmers. You can do that by paying a centralized institution for proprietary software or by joining an open-source project.

If there is no open-source project, you have to create one, and then you're potentially years away from getting something that's a true alternative.

If schools don't like proprietary licenses, they should bargain together for something better.

I see what you mean, but at the same point, the $10 to pick up 5 tons of plastic in Asia doesn't seem to be happening for whatever reason. My reasoning is that $10 to pick up 1 ton of plastic is still a good option since the $10 to pick up 5 tons is not a guarantee.

I have been worried for some time the only solution is the democratization of healthcare due to advances in biology and chemistry. People are 3d printing their own prosthetic mounts and getting better results than trained and heavily credentialed professionals. Maybe some day people will be able to design their own medication and targeted supplements.

What worries me is this may be decades away.
It makes sense for Apple though, because what the devs are really paying for is access to Apple's closed-source ecosystem, not the tooling itself. This company has no such market power; why would anyone want to pay for Zen, when it has no established ecosystem or audience?

I hear you, but RJ45 never pretended to be anything other than a physical standard. USB-C, on the other hand, is the latest successor to the USB standard, which from the beginning was both a physical specification and a protocol specification. The article correctly points out that there are now so many variations on the protocol implementation that it's confusing to the consumer. And he's clearly right. The whole point is that you shouldn't have to "do a bit of research" before you plug in the only cable connector your device has.

Taking the story at face value: Zen lied to customers and the community, hired a developer away from Zig, and that developer cannot work on Zig now due to an NDA.

Antiqua vs. Fraktur, a typographical dispute in 19th/20th-century Germany
For me it’s basically a question of whether it was something on “autopilot” or intentional. Same with meds I always struggle with whether I locked the front door. I always do but never can remember.

As a side note you can buy “pill timer” bottles on amazon with a clock counter since they were last opened if you want a quick solution to this instead of the hacking fun. But beware most of the brands and models aren’t child safe.

I understand that is the nature of documentary film making, non-fiction literature, and frankly even photography. Typically anything very engaging has an editorial slant. And personally I'm not terribly sympathetic with a radical animal rights agenda.

However, the "69 errors in 90 minutes" link you attached is an exercise in legalistic hair splitting which really does little to undermine the theme of the movie.
These are all indicators of a problem in the market.
I had to implement something similar to this a few years ago. I scoured the ToS to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong by removing the GUI. IIRC it was totally fine as long as you still link to the youtube video.

As for ads -- I don't remember how we dealt with those. I don't think embeds show the pre-roll ads, only mid-video ads. Since this is a streaming video I assume it doesn't have those.
Another big problem is that rivers in the developing world aren't particularly well controlled.

Just this summer, a massive flood in the Yangtze basin displaced over 60 million people and inundated a number of large cities. The flood carries anything that will float downstream, and eventually dumps them in the ocean. As it happens, plastics tend to float pretty well.

So even if the Chinese government declared that they will shoot anyone who throws trash in the rivers effective immediately, the rivers themselves come into people's homes, snatch plastics, and carry them into the ocean every year.

Bill Gates DESTROYED Covid-19 pandemic with LOGIC AND FACTS

> “All you have to do is the four plus four, $8 billion total. And then people will see, even though the U.S. made some mistakes, at least our desire to cooperate, help others and use our R&D capacity, at least, you know, they’ll see it in a positive light.”

The bottom line is he's advocating for more funding to pay for vaccines in other countries. I think it's hard to argue that the U.S. response to coronavirus has been competent, but I don't think Bill Gates is a credible authority to making many of the health claims he's raising in this piece.

For example, he BLASTS how we've handled testing in the U.S. - fair point, but it's not clear that the alternatives he raises would be more effective. In fact, it seems like the most widely accepted tests we have are prone to false positives. This could in part be why our strategy has shifted to not test asymptomatic individuals. There's no point forcing someone into isolation over an inaccurate test that could have flagged a cold virus as Covid-19.

Bill Gates has advocated for some pretty creepy stuff ("Real ID" microchip implants, a complete ban on end-to-end cryptography). He can spend as much as he wants on PR, but I don't trust him in his role as a "vigilante health authority." He's a billionaire with pet projects and an ego.
> They are intensely curious to read the source code of the programs that they use every day.

It's not quite the same thing, but I remember reading and modifying the source code of Applesoft BASIC games as well as trying to reverse engineer copy protection in the school's computer lab.

The reality though is that open source software's main benefit to schools is the licensing model. Not only does the cost of the software actually being used add up, there are also licenses for the software to manage licenses. On top of that is the effort it takes to manage licenses, which ties into labour costs.

Things have probably changed since I managed a school computer lab a decade back, but I did a test deployment of an all open source solution in an evening of my spare time. It took several months of evenings to build up a similar setup using commercial software. The major difference between the two were the hurdles created by commercial software licensing.
What bothers me in today's world is that we ignore how some countries achieve their comparative advantage.

Why did Hershey's chocolate close the factory not too far from where I grew up, and move the manufacturing to Mexico? Well, labor is cheap there because there are no unions, few health and safety regulations, few workers' rights groups. That makes it much cheaper to operate.

Why can China manufacture clothing cheaply? Well, they have hundreds of thousands of Uighur prisoners being 're-educated' via forced labor.

And while I don't disagree that for some countries that are trying to move up in development, so-called 'sweat shops' can represent a stepping stone forward (2 generations ago, South Korea had plenty of them), the question is how long that's an acceptable excuse?

In my opinion, we need trade rules that explicitly tax and tariff those countries who are only finding comparative advantages through exploitation and unethical activity.

No, you're conflating two different things.

The Wright brothers are credited for inventing the airplane based on their first powered flight, even though this plane was in no way commercially viable or even useful. It was only a proof of concept.

Applying the same principle to light bulbs, you'd have to credit someone earlier than Edison. They had working, functional light bulbs, they were just niche.
How would GPL help? It doesn't stop hostile forks.

I agree with your philosophy, but I'm interested in why specifically Chromebooks are banned (and did you only ban chromebooks or did you ban everything that isn't free?). Especially with the newest chromebooks, it's cake to install anything in the Debian repos. It's also worth noting that the vast majority of ChromeOS is also open source.

I'm more curious because I banned Windows and Apple (at least if I'm paying for it), but I let the Chromebooks stay. My son has learned a lot about Linux and life on the CLI getting Minecraft to run in the Debian container on our Chromebook.

Yep, on one Windows 10 machine you need to go to Settings->Projection Settings, switch it on there, then from another Windows 10 machine you can simply press Win+P and select "connect to screen", then click on the other machine name.

Poor documentation practice is pervasive in the free software world. Much of the issue, I believe, is the rise of sites like Stackoverflow. Documentation these days seems to consist of the bare minimum--docs autogenerated from method/function signatures with maybe one or two trivial, useless examples--and an expectation that people will "tinker" with the software and post/find answers on these sites. Google and Stackoverflow, in other words, are the documentation of choice.

I understand: documentation is hard. It's tedious and it's difficult to get right for all the likely/major audiences involved. That's not a good excuse, though. The amount of fad-driven, cargo-cult coding and the like has just exploded in the last few years, much of it essentially copy-pasta from sites like Stackoverflow or whatever a Google search throws up.
I was going to say this. Developing an LMS or really any tool is not cheap. You would be saving $1M/yr from MS but paying out $2M/yr in dev costs.

As somebody who teaches in university my opinion on this is:

1) the software you teach them should last them for a while. That means it shouldn't be to limiting (even if that means more user friendly). It should additionally be something where you can assume it will be around for a while in that form.

2) It should make it easy for them to work in the field that they are in.

3) The work they create in that programme should be readable for as long as possible (even when the creators of the software are gone)

4) We the technically educated are supposed to teach the societal ramifications of certain software products as well (privacy, surveillance) and how to guard from those. So software that doesn't spy, isn't creepy and etc gets a plus as well

Students don't have a ton of money, so if there is a free and open source solution that isn't bad on quality compared to the commercial (or data stealing) alternatives, I'd go for that, because it helps with nearly all the points above.

I am however not a friend of teaching people tools they cannot use. So while teaching someone Blender instead of Maya makes a ton of sense, because Blender is great and getting better, teaching someone Cinelerra when Premiere or Avid are a much better choice functionality wise is something I wouldn't do just for the heck of it.

You mentioned Shanghai and Beijing, but note that sorting waste isn't new to the country. I was part of a team that installed a single-stream waste sorting system in China in 2007, prior to the Olympics. It was a very impressive system where all garbage would enter at one end and a large array of machines and people would sort the garbage into recyclables, compost, and the rest for an incinerator. It used all the latest tech, mainly from North America.

Anything that operates on proof-of-work like Bitcoin does will need a valuable operation that 1) can have its difficulty tuned up or down, 2) has a result that's quick to precisely verify, and (I suppose) 3) the result of which is less valuable than the coins it will yield. Oh and you'd want it to be basically the same operation at least for long periods of time, if not indefinitely.

That narrows down what you can do with it quite a bit.

[EDIT] oh AND it has to prove you were performing the operation with the current block in hand. No running ahead with the calculations then hashing it with the block when you get it, or anything like that. You mustn't be able to even start until you have the block.
