Iphones are great for me because I fixed annoyances so fast that I forgot other people tolerate or judge iphones from them.

If someone is busking I will give them money for providing me the pleasure of listening to their music. They are not begging. When I give an exceptional guitarist in the main square in Krakow ten zloty, that is not charity, it is payment for services rendered. If he or she does or does not pay tax on it is a matter for them and the tax authorities not me.

I almost never give money to actual beggars, partly because I feel that they should provide something in exchange but also because it is clear that many are part of criminal organizations that siphon off the bulk of the money (that is at least how it seems to be here in Norway).

How do you figure?
It's an interesting contrast, your concern about outsiders involvement, and the basis for support for a oppressive government ... recognition from the outside.

I believe government legitimacy has more to do with it's own people's feelings about the government's legitimacy and that government's own actions.
As long as there are social distancing and shut downs you are gonna get a suppression of workers that is thrown out of the job because of it. And most of them will be low income, hence a “K shape”. Plus a lot of the low income work are not remote-able jobs.

Why can't the top developers pool their money together and invest into an ecosystem that is more fair? They make enough profit. They could easily lead with a carrot (if you invest, you get preferential treatment). I understand the scale of this problem is immense but it seems that the duopoly of having only two choices is damaging to the high value companies on this platform and they are aggressively going to extract profit from them (of course the small players too but...one would need the top players).

If Epic doesn't win, then this (invest in an alternative) needs to be the next step. Seriously. We need to fight for sovereignty or we'll lose ground in more ways than we can imagine.

> You are talking about a very minuscule population of the country benefiting from Reliance share prices.

I think you missed the part where I wrote about Jio's entry into the telecom market. Jio now has more than 385 million active subscribers and I am not sure that means a "minuscule population".

> Case in point: Reliance is now completely debt free and has grown tremendously since 2014 - while the rest of India is now financially in much worse shape. India's debt has more than doubled in the meantime and the economy is in the pits..and that is before COVID even began.

That's just a correlation. If you are implying that Reliance is somehow weakening the Indian economy, then kindly share references for the same.

Chaco is pretty different than the modern Pueblos in a number of important ways. It's a lot more monumental (The back wall of Pueblo Bonito was ~5 stories tall), many potsherds have "mesoamerican" designs, the burials are incredibly rich, and the road network looks a lot like Aztec roads and the time period matched Toltecs, who were their "predecessors". Moreover, diffusionism was totally in vogue and it wasn't considered radical at all to suggest that Chaco was the distant outpost of some Toltecs making the local Puebloan populations labor for them. After all, Pacquime down in Chihuahua was an even larger, more impressive Toltec output (it wasn't). Additionally, though we now understand "anasazi" to refer to ancestral Puebloans, prior to the discovery/analysis of the Magician's Tomb in the 1920s, the link between ancestral and modern Puebloans was only suspected at best, and definitely not as a continuation.

Besides as any anthropologist would tell you, taking people purely at face value can hide some very complicated relationships. Some Navajo/Diné will tell you a lot of the ruins are their ancestors', for example. Some Hopi reportedly disclaimed Chaco to early archaeologists, calling it a bad place because they didn't want to claim descent from the political system. Something similar occurs with O'odham peoples and Hohokam structures.
Based on Mark's actions and announcements over the years, from Internet.org to his "The next decade" speech where he said they're building a network for all local businesses to "better connect with their communities," it's clear that Mark's One True Goal is that all digital information flow through Facebook, so that it can be analyzed, collated, and advertised against.

Mark wants every part of human society, from birthday wishes to buying a car to finding a local barber to political debates, to operate through Facebook's servers.

The real question is why - is it just about the money for him? Does Mark dream of being a trillionaire before Bezos? Or is it about control? Does Mark want to be The Guy Who Knows Everything?

Because the devil is in the details. Covid != Rhinovirus. If you asked why HIV is treated differently than crabs you'd get a similar response. Not only is the severity different, they are different diseases and so have different effects.
And what did he say?

”Anecdotally, there’s no question that there are a considerable number of individuals who have a postviral syndrome that really, in many respects, can incapacitate them for weeks and weeks following so-called recovery and clearing of the virus,”

in other words, he’s acknowledging that these people exist and are reporting something. He’s not saying anything about the validity of their claims.
I really don't know how you solve this problem because finding people like you is like the #2 reason you even join a social network. Same with IRL social networks. I can't even imagine how much worse my life without the online queer community, it only exists at all because these kinds of algorithms connect people who would never find each other IRL because of fear and physical separation.

Plus this is a very narrow interpretation of the problem. The public discourse issues comes from friends, family, friends-of-friends sharing and spreading articles from the news, obviously fake rage-bait memes, and generally just having an audience for their opinions.
Seems like a win-win. Remove a threat, while limiting civilian and surrounding damage.
Justin Vernon from Bon Iver strikes me as another pick for the PG of the music industry. He's an unconventional thinker, a bit of an outsider, and well-connected in the industry. This includes close ties to Kanye. Supposedly he's a fantastic collaborator too. It'd be fascinating if they partnered up to create the YC for artists.

I think this conversation would benefit from moving away from analogy and back into the factual realm.

The crime of conspiracy has two requirements. 1) That two people make an agreement to commit a crime and 2) that at least one person takes an "overt act" in furtherance of the crime.

Count 18 of the indictment [0] charges that Assange and Manning "conspir[ed] to commit computer intrusion." The first condition of agreement was easy to show, they clearly agreed they were going to break into a government system. More challenging are the overt acts: they allege that Manning stole the password hash and sent it to Assange, who tried to break it himself, saying "No luck so far."

So both the analogies of providing medical care and advice are irrelevant here - Assange didn't just provide information, he allegedly actually participated in the "overt acts" of criminal conspiracy by trying to crack the password. In your analogy, the doctor joined the criminal on the heist.

I use my AirPods with multiple devices, and that process is also fraught with problems. Switching to another device takes an absurdly long time. About once per month, switching will make bluetoothaudiod peg a core and ultimately hard crash the entire computer. Yes, the kernel panics if it doesn't hear from this userspace process frequently enough.

Surprisingly, iCloud syncing works fine. If I pair my AirPods with one device, it always pairs with all of them.
Would be great if Firefox set up monthly donations system on Patreon, OpenCollective or similar platform, and all donations would go directly to browser development.
This criticism is based on the assumption that all updates are created equal. But they aren't.

One week, the update could be a relatively minor bug fix. The next week, a major feature upgrade that's been in the pipeline for months.

You also remove the ambiguity of "Is this worth pushing out? When should I push this out? Should I do some more fixes or push this one out first?". You got fixes, push them out in the next update.

Your criticism also assumes a small team. If you have a large enough team where you can split them into new feature development and current bug fixing, they're going to work at different rates and be ready at different times. If instead your entire team just works on "the product", then there is no effective difference between fixing issues and creating functionality.
I would second that, although I like how big and bold the options are in the app.

I also think the website design needs a bit of work. The typography is a bit all over the place, the "dissolving" clock at the bottom (with stains on top of the app) is a good idea not well executed, and the page itself is quite overloaded, compared to the simplicity of the app's interface.

But it seems they have launched very recently so there is definitely room for improvement. I would mostly simplify things, which is the core idea of the app anyway.

I estimate up to somewhere in the range 100kbit/s to 500kbit/s.

It would take a sophisticated modulation scheme, like a modem. The sound would be similar to white noise. Software that's getting 20bit/s or whatever is using old-school tone-based modulation, but it is quite robust in the presence of other sounds.

That assumes:

- Frequency response ~20kHz.

- Audio ADC/DAC sample rates configurable well in excess of the Nuqyist limit of the frequency response range of the speakers and mics.

- Good signal to noise (~90dB), which equates to ~15 bits at max volume range.

- Not playing at max volume, but a reasonable level ~18dB down, so ~12 bits.

- A very quiet environment, or one where the background sound is very predictable.

- Stereo laptop speakers and stereo mics, to make a 2x2 MIMO spatially modulated channel.

- Good channel separation (~80dB).

- Great linearity, which might be optimistic.
Looks good, although you might want a native English speaker to proof read the copy, doesn’t bother me but there are enough mistakes to be off putting to some.
My experience with Calibre has been improving as of late. I'm really grateful for the snappiness of the software. I hope we can have a separate epub reader, so that I don't need to keep Calibre always open to skim through a book. Calibre is more resource intensive than I was expecting when I first downloaded it many many years ago.

The biggest thing about learning programming from Youtube channels is that they just get something up and running. There is no talk about modularisation or testing.

You're absolutely right. Written Chinese is called Standard Chinese on the mainland and it is "Chinese" whether you speak Cantonese, Mandarin, or Shangaianese. That fact blew my mind when I learned it. Written Chinese can be understand by people that speak mutually unintelligible spoken languages. And not just that it _can be_ understood. They share the same written language. There are informal written version of regional languages, but that's a rabbit hole.

My point was really not to get too deep into the pedantry of it, but simply that Taiwan and China do share the same written language with a different character set because you can generally replace the characters without substantial grammatical or vocabulary changes. It's not in the same ballpark as equivocating Spanish, Catalan, Languedoc, and French. There are different vocabulary variations like saying 哪兒 Nǎ'er and 哪裡 Nǎlǐ (both mean "where?"), but you can also find variations between Brit and American English vocabulary. IMO, the Trad/Simplified difference is closer akin to American English deciding to drop a lot of U's in words like "colour."

My point was that you could say they share the same written language so it makes very much sense to have one ZH-language Wikipedia, and use machine conversion to present it in the character set preferred by the reader (as it does currently). And, that there is plenty of good reasons for Taiwan to have its own Wikimedia organization because there are non-ZH languages like Min Nan that deserve to be represented.

Edit for sake of illustration. Take the sentence "I like this cat." It's read "Wǒ xǐhuān zhè zhī māo" no matter if you're reading it in Traditional or Simplified characters. There may be some pronunciation differences North v South that is above my level so far, but the characters (notably 只 that you mentioned) are the same meaning and sound.

This is very interesting to me. I suffer from Ulcerative Colitis and ever since my disease my joints have gotten worse and worse. I used to be a runner, but now I can’t run or jump anymore and I often suffer from joint aches.
I have been trying to figure out if this is just a function of me getting older, if I am just imagining it, or if it is related to my illness. Reading from others with IBD, they also report the same kind of symptoms that you describe, vague ones. But joint aches and pain is a recurring theme. Medicine doesn’t seem to say much about it and my doctor is a pragmatist who basically says: “a lot of patients report joint aches and pain, but we just don’t know”.

It is interesting to me because I can relate to it. Sure. Maybe this can all be written off as pains and symptoms imagined, but there might also be truth in there. Regarding COVID it seems there is so many unknowns.

I am not sure where I am going with this. I guess my point is that this is very interesting, especially in light of your comment, I hope the phenomenon is studied soon.
I am male, which accelerates the progression. But that was what my doctor told me in 2012 for men, even if taking interferon (which I did). And the two big new ones since. I stayed basically great until 2017. But now both hands are mostly numb and my leg is numb. I've taken the best medication available at every opportunity. Now it's progressive. I'm 37 and was diagnosed and treated very early after just one mild attack.

Anecdotes. I know. Although my progression so far has been fairly in line with my first doctor's statistics.
It's much simpler: national pride and hubris.

If 'Mississippi' was somehow broken away from the US, the US would spend quite a lot of effort to get it back, even though Mississippi is and of itself, not important.

If one takes a historical view that Taiwan, Tibet, Manchu, S. China Sea 'belong to China' then they will push hard to grab and maintain them.

Videos are great when the narrator reflects his/her thought process and adds relevant history(of how things come to that) when doing things.

Articles can do it even better but can get very lengthy and people looking to quickly learn how to do something will seek short, to the point articles and missing out on significant depth.

Of course just watching a video won't make you learn something but I think the situation is the same with articles. Remember school times, the articles were not that lengthy(I mean STEM of course) but to truly grasp something you would have to go over it again and again and try to solve problems by yourselves.

I think the article have the advantage of extremely fast skimmability, you can even condense everything into a single page and use it as a reference because you can skim to the point in a single glance.

The good thing is that it's well documented. As opposed to something like ruby, which doesn't have any complete language reference documentation, for bash everything is in the manpage, and it's not that long either.

There's also the info-manual, but I'm doubting it offers any more detail than the manpage. They're both probably equally complete.
Do we really need one of these to hit the front page every day? How about a weekly update or something...

> I don't think it's up for debate that this is much worse than just running Traefik as a normal user

I'm not arguing that there's not a better option. In fact, when I say this is a "defense in depth" issue, that's exactly what I mean. It would improve security. It would be better. But there is no active vulnerability to be exploited. If the system works as intended, this doesn't cause any issues, it's only an issue if there are other real vulnerabilities.

> Do you also run your other web servers as root?

Yes, because capsh --cap-add NET_ADMIn is poorly understood and poorly used I run many other servers as root.

Admittedly, many of them are written in other languages such as C and fork workers that drop privileges because the c stdlib (libc) supports that easily.

Traefik is written in go where forking workers that drop privileges is much harder. Go doesn't use libc, and setuid doesn't actually work correctly [0], so of course it doesn't drop privileges like other software written in better languages.

> This is completely irrelevant. Once a hacker is inside the Traefik process (i.e. can execute code under Traefik's PID)

That's the entire point. It requires an attacker to exploit a real security issue, therefore this hardening you're talking about is a defense in depth.

The way you're talking about it, you make it sound like there's an active vulnerability, not just a defense in depth improvement. They're vastly different.

The developers are not ignoring a real vulnerability, and your all-or-nothing stance on this issue is un-nuanced to the point of harming your communication about it.

My previous offer is still on: $500 bucks that you can't exploit this if I link you to a traefik configured in this way you refuse to run it.

anecdotes are data.

they can be used to prioritize resources to create the real study, and they are the crux of our evolutionary selection thus far.

when the former is not available, the latter has been pretty reliable for self-preservation even if the "why" isn't apparent or is completely made up conjecture.

there is no utility in lecturing on anecdotes when the complete scientific mindshare of planet is looking in different directions that may be just as irrelevant as the anecdote.
