> Every other society realized it at the same time? Which would imply every other society is roughly born at the same time, which sounds unlikely. So some of them (like us) should not yet have discovered the danger of broadcasting signals.

Yeah, that's the Dark Forest book in effect.

If you broadcast, other civilizations could attempt to destroy you, so most civilizations find some way to dampen transmissions or limit them somehow.
>From a statistic point of view, we have to assume that everything about us is roughly average (and so far our observations kind of confirm this).

This is the part I disagree with. It’s a hasty generalization to extrapolate from a single data point (Earth). The law of small numbers is alluring, but we must stick to our proper statistics guns and not fall into intuitive traps.

A dash of luck! Really no way to know, and anyone who tells you they know probably doesn't. It's still fun to guess. Consider a fire pit lined with rocks. Perhaps an observant fire watcher begins to notice the rocks seem to change over time and separate, or a toolmaker decides to use one type of stone with a particularly good edge and a low luster. The discovery of bronze fascinates me more than iron, especially since its usage generally predates iron. Bronze needed someone to not only understand that metals were embedded in stone, but that by alloying them, you could achieve properties that the constituent parts didn't have to begin with. Add on that complex trade routes that distributed tin to distant shores and you've got yourself a fine puzzle for ancient historians to ponder.

In newer versions of Swift the need for almost all prefixing has been removed.

You can still say it's a facade when using things like UIKit, but as we've seen in the past few years w/ SwiftUI that is changing. It's already no longer the case if you're doing anything related to heavy duty computation [Accelerate, Metal & others have Swift-specific APIs now] or networking [SwiftNIO].
The unit of change in Pijul is also a file, which is a finite sequence of lines, generalized to a finite directed graph of lines to deal with conflicts. The idea of a patch-based VCS is as old as the idea of a VCS. Pijul's theory of patches, and the techniques it uses to keep things speedy, are pretty new.
You're describing a unidirectional data flow for Toosheh which makes sense but in the article it mentions payloads of videos from all over Iran. From what I've read VPNs were also shut down so how did the Iranians output videos? Was it purely journalists that had access to outside networks?
The medium is the message. The mere fact that a message was sent this way tells you all you need to know about the sender.

It’s not quite what I’m looking for—more of a viewer.
> When something is disputed, arguably the most neutral, unbiased way to go about things is to deliver information to each party within the framework that they have established, and technology enables this as a possibility when it used to be cumbersome in the old days.

So in wiki-speak, this view is usually refered to as multiple-points of view, and its an idea people sometimes floated in the early days (i think their was a fork called wikiinfo or something at one point)

Its very different from neutral point of view as understood by wikipedia. The goal of neutrality is to come up with a single consistent narrative that all parties agree is fair and accurate (porportionally). Of course that can be very difficult at times, its more a journey than a destination.

In my mind this is actually the killer feature of wikipedia. Without this we may as well just all host apache web servers or write articles on geocities.

>if Wikimedia wants to assert a position on the Taiwan issue, or politically help Taiwan by supporting its majority viewpoint, then great

Wikimedia does not want to do anything. Wikimedia largely speaking wants to allow some folks in Taiwan to form what is basically a local user group so they can try and talk some museums into uploading photos and maybe have a conference.

The contents of the Taiwan article is a local wikipedia matter, and is not something wikimedia (in whatever sense you mean) should have a say in.

Generally speaking though, wikipedia does not want to support the majority view of anyone, but explain all views proportionally as represented in reliable secondary sources. Of course that can be difficult at times.

> For example, there exist certain species of birds native to the island of Taiwan. Wikipedia can be a great source of information about those birds. It doesn't need to define what type of political entity Taiwan is in order to deliver great information about those birds; as far as the birds are concerned it's just a huge island.

Well yes, but nobody is really fighting about the bird articles
I spent several years underpaid at a lifestyle company as a specialist. I didn't want the golden handcuffs, I didn't want the pressure.

I've learned this was a big mistake

If you're paid at market value for your particular set of skills, your employer is making a commitment to use them. When they underpay you, you won't get to do the awesome thing that you do as much.

So by being paid more there's incentive for the employer to waste less of your time. This can include up to letting you go when they decide they don't want to do what's in your wheelhouse (a feature not a bug from my POV).

And none of that's to mention the long term financial downside. And the fact that the "lifestyle company" really wasn't fewer hours at the end of the day
> Netflix and Youtube has disgusting content

What?
I perceive Apple struggling with the payments and cuts it takes...even during normal (“non-pandemic” for readers from the far future) times there doesn’t seem to be a simple, clear and consistent explanation for what or who merits exceptions from paying the 30% commission (and related rates for subscriptions).

This news sounds like Apple taking some more time to think things through and come up with better plans (plans for itself and payment plans for developers on its platforms) before the judiciary or lawmakers cripple its systems way beyond its tolerance for changes.

There will be more permanent “concessions” coming soon, without admitting in any shape or form that the current system doesn’t make sense and is exploitative for some/many developers (not Facebook, which I believe with its vile history, can easily eat the commissions if it really cares about its users).
Radio signal is not the only way to detect presence of other civilizations.

Current estimates place the number of planets in our galaxy at 100 billions. And some of the stars in our galaxy are ~6 billions years older than our sun, that's a hell lot of time for a civilization to develop massively considering the technological progress we have had in a just a few thousands of years.
If you're not writing your code in a design that lets you run parts of it every few minutes (or more frequently), you're missing out. Best way to avoid bugs in your module: don't put them in there. Find out in the REPL before you put code in the .py file.

Also, it's more important the more data-dependent your code is.

> ECC adds significant cost

Does it, though? I don't remember all the prices from when I was researching memory close to a year ago for a new PC, but one big notable difference between ECC and non-ECC I've seen is that almost all non-ECC sticks are overclocked. You buy something rated at 2667MHz, and you actually get is e.g. 1833MHz chips overclocked at that speed. Which makes them cheaper. But I'd expect non-overclocked non-ECC sticks to be that far in pricing to ECC sticks (well, apart from the obvious difference they'd have more chips). And because the market is focused on cheap non-ECC sticks, they don't do cheaper ECC overclocked sticks, but there is no reason they couldn't make them. There aren't that many ECC unbuffered sticks already, it's easier to find registered ones. Essentially, the market is skewed by Intel not supporting ECC on non-Xeons.

I've been using Emacs for an entire 1 year and I have to say - I only like OrgMode. I've barely tried out Magit, so maybe that's another killer feature. But for programming, I think that Emacs is too steep a hill to climb when VSCode and JetBrains' IDEs offer so much out of the box or just a few clicks/commands away. In Emacs, you can can, in theory, do anything you like. And it is so impressive when you customize it to behave in a certain way. It's also more open for tweaking than any other editor. 'describe-function' and 'describe-key' are super cool, for example. But VSCode is just more practical. Instead of writing some Elisp (which is an incredibly awkward language) to customize your IDE, you can just go to the extensions screen and very likely find and download an extension that does what you want. Maybe not exactly. Maybe you could make Emacs behave much more precisely, according to your preferences. But you might spend hours, if not days, depending on your level of expertise. Meanwhile, with VSCode, you essentially bypass all that.
Thankfully up until recently Iran's attempts at a great firewall have not been as successful as China. There's "private" ISPs in Iran but they're all required to singlehome to the state owned ASN, which operates all of the transit links to the outside world.

From a network engineering perspective I would say that Iranian government acumen at running advanced DPI systems for automated detection/blocking of VPN traffic on a per-flow basis is much less advanced than China's. The most talented Iranian network engineers can generally emigrate somewhere else and get paid a better salary to not work on projects they find personally distasteful.
> It’s a hasty generalization to extrapolate from a single data point (Earth).

But we have no choice, we have to extrapolate. And if you have a single data point, assuming that this datapoint is average makes more sense.

If there is an urn containing 100 balls some red some green, 99 of one color and 1 of the other color, and you blindly pick one ball from it that is red, you should bet that there are 99 red balls and 1 green ball, not the other way around.

Utterly despicable and unacceptable. I can’t tell if this is an anti-competitive move (since one successful decentralized service might threaten the entire ecosystem of centralized platforms) or if it is some sort of Google internal political activism (since decentralization avoids the censorship and deplatforming performed by centralized providers like Google). Or maybe it’s both. But regardless it is unacceptable and I am happy to have discovered LBRY. More about it at https://itsfoss.com/lbry/

To expand on others’ comments, popular history may still do this, but professional academic history got over that a long time ago. The subfield that deals with the experiences of ordinary people and “bottom-to-top” complete pictures of a society is called Social History. Social History is now over 60 years old (one of the most brilliant and influential books in this tradition, E.P. Thompson’s Making of the English Working Class, is from 1963), and Social History has shaped the perspective of pretty much every professional historian writing in the last half century, whether they were for or against the key ideas. The intellectual debt is to (non-doctrinaire) Marxism, later supplemented with a health dose of anthropology (which led to the related field of cultural history). Basically the Social Historians more or less won, although the naive “great men great events” approach remained strong in popular history outside the academy.

Social History was and is enormously influential among professional historians, probably the most influential intellectual shift in the history business in the last 100 years. (All people, everywhere, make history! A powerful message!) The author of this blog is a great practitioner of the social history tradition but it’s not a novel approach per se. That said, there should be more social history blogs! This blog regularly hits the front page of hacker news; people love this stuff!
Loading javascript from another domain is deliberately not observable, so for it to have vulnerabilities stripe would have to be putting user data in javascript responses, which seems unlikely.

Precisely, and in the Dark Forest book we (humans) did indeed detect radio signals from other civilization very early after we built the radio telescopes capable of doing so. So the fermi paradox is not present in this alternate reality.

In our reality we haven't detected anything yet, hence the paradox.

FTP has been superseded by better alternatives. Anonymous FTP is replaced by HTTP. Mostly because HTTP transfer is simpler and easier to work around NATs and firewalls. (take a look at debain mirrors for example).

Authenticated FTP is just not secure enough for today's use cases. It is also replaced by S3 like file services that run over HTTP. For some reason FTP over TLS (which sounds secure enough) didn't catch on.

>While Rogan is politically liberal, he is — argues former Obama 2008 campaign strategist and Rogan listener Shant Mesrobian — culturally conservative, by which he does not mean that Rogan holds conservative views on social issues (again, he is pro-choice and pro-LGBT rights). He means that Rogan exudes culturally conservative signals: He likes MMA fighting, makes crude jokes, hunts, and just generally fails to speak in the lingo of the professional managerial class and coastal elites. And it is those cultural standards, rather than political ones, that make Rogan anathema to elite liberal culture because, Mesrobian argued in a viral Twitter thread, liberals care far more about proper culture signaling than they do about the much harder and more consequential work of actual politics.

> Isn't Eclipse basically the modern Emacs?

Ah, but you miss its hackability aspect by virtue of being a lisp runtime. I wouldn't say eclipse is anywhere close to "hackable" as emacs is.

Just run C-x b <scratch> RET and you have an elisp buffer to manipulate the state of the entire editor. It allows for superfast iteration, compared to the plugin development cycle of other editors. Though, vscode/javascript has definitely made it much closer to what is possible in emacs.

We do have a choice: not to make hasty generalizations. Your example is the exact classic case of hasty generalization as a fallacy. You can say next to nothing about a bin of balls from one sample.

We can ponder the possibilities as long as we don’t start playing favorites. Saying “we aren’t special” is playing favorites. Saying “we may be special” is not.

We aren’t even confident about the state of life in the solar system. There could be life on Venus, Mars, and/or Europa. Earth may have seeded that life or those places could have seeded Earth, maybe a common ancestor seeded all three, or maybe genesis is common. Maybe life is all over the universe, or maybe Earth is the epicenter, or maybe something in between. We can say next to nothing about the state of life in the universe.

All we know for sure is that we are alive and stars have periodic dips in light intensity. We should act like we are the only life in the universe when weighing the pros and cons of self-inflicted armageddon, at least until proven otherwise.

Forget about letting employers come up with a number first, in Singapore it's a common practice for HR/Recruiters to directly ask for your last drawn salary (so that they can match it/bump it up by a fixed amount). It's not illegal to refuse to answer, but it's also not illegal for them to ask in the first place. Companies legitimately view last drawn salary as a way to assess a candidate's market value here.
