Nope, you're reading more into my statement than you should if that's what your take away. I mean I literally qualified it straight away, how you got "racist" from that I really don't know.
Also, a lot of sites use email where they could (should?) be providing RSS, for updates and news stuff. So to see those in the same place as RSS feeds, either you use a common client for both, or convert one into the other.

Feedbin seems to permit receiving email newsletters as a feed, so that's one of the few making email into RSS, whereas the others all turn RSS into email.

This great article demonstrates why folks with chronic illness need to take charge of their situation, do their own due diligence, and carefully document their symptoms and possible causes. All too often, folks lump all their problem on doctors, and take no personal responsibility, and that can be a fatal decision, because doctors are overworked and overwhelmed. Even if you don’t have medical training, you have motivation and time, and sometimes that makes all the difference in the world.

Thanks for sharing!
PPAs are the worst of the worst and absolutely should not be encouraged.

With PPAs, everytime someone runs sudo apt upgrade, they are giving root privileges to their machine to some random person on the internet. No, having users scan the source code every time a package is upgraded is awful.

I reiterate, the most popular PPA is an old 3rd party Java PPA which doesn't even offer Java anymore. That PPA has root access to thousands of machines.
Open Source Photo Sharing?
Hi all, the school where my kid goes to shares their pictures on Facebook.

I would like to propose an alternative sharing platform to them that allows them to better keep archives and allows parents to have more personalized and privacy conscious sharing.

Any recommendations? I'd host it myself and can maintain it for the next 10+ years as my kid goes through the years at school...
In my opinion, privacy and freedom are tightly coupled.

There is always a tradeoff, simply because what is beneficial at the individual level might not be at the population level and vice-versa.

The precedence of the state or any social groups over individuals is a complex subject.
Disagree, this is very bad for him. Trump’s entire brand is a strong man who will protect America from harm. Him and his family catching this disease reveals he can’t even protect himself or his family against the backdrop of 200,000 dead. The last thing he wants to be talking about it Covid. Now we are not only going to be talking about this non stop, for the next few news cycles we will be asked to hypothetically picture his VP as the next president. The last thing a nominee wants going into an election is the country picturing his running mate as his successor. Not to mention the fact that this derails his campaign rallies, derails the debate he desperately needs to do well at, and calls into question the timeline of his Supreme Court nomination as now the nominee as well as GOP senators are all potentially exposed.

This is a clusterfuck collapse for the campaign.
IonQ claims it has built the most powerful quantum computer yet
A picture of Warren Buffet is a "dog whistle" you see on Yahoo Finance and other web sites aimed at people of a "certain age". It's like the hypnotic induction (to make you connect to your identity as a consumer) that starts with talking about "our smartphones".

For a long time I would wind up seeing Becky Quick interview Buffet a few times a year on CNBC, it got cringeworthy when his dementia got worse and he started to leer at her. (Becky Quick is a "babe") Once upon a time he was a genius investor, but he's not what he used to be and they don't have a successor in the works.

For me, I deleted my LinkedIn account recently because it had brought a remarkable number of time-wasters into my life.

From the US point of view. The problem is that US gov is expanding their laws as crossbordering. E.g. if I don't work with american people at all and do service with less regulations requirements I can be still charged and extradited to US prison because "SOME Americans could lie both to me AND American gov and use fake data and VPNs". That's a nonsense for today global world and slowing down lots of developing countries. Current world should revise extradition laws and US intervention in non-US citizens businesses.

I do understand how anosmia can be an easy to detect symptom of COVID-19, and the 80% of positives, but I wonder what other illness can provoke the anosmia in the remaining (negative) 20%?

In the 90s multiculturalism gained traction as a concept in the UK. Notting Hill Carnival is pretty much the definition of what that represented - a cultural celebration of one community being opened up to and enjoyed by others. I grew up close enough to hear the bass vibrating my windows and went almost every year despite not having any links to its origin communities. Despite this, it played an important part in my life and I feel these experiences informed my political/social outlook.

Cultural appropriation is a genuine phenomenon, but the difference between attending carnival and culturally appropriating it is a subtle one. For me, it comes down to intent and this is very hard to prove.

Am I doing it in solidarity - sharing a celebration with people who's neighbourhood I share and supporting their cultural expression? Or am I impersonating other communities for my own enjoyment? To a third party, it's can be difficult to tell the difference.

> Cultural appropriation doesnt seem to be a problem anywhere else but the USA.

I feel that the countries which have historically dealt with the realities of a multicultural society better have less issues with cultural appropriation - cultural segregation leads to ownership and identity issues. But that certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist outside the USA. There is a context in which what Adele did is fine, and one in which it isn't - one photo won't tell you which it is.
Having worked with both Pelican and Jekyll, I couldn't agree more. Pelican is simple and easy to install, compared to what I had to go through with Jekyll.
People do vastly different things when money is involved. For example, using 50 points to get another emoji in a chat app is ok, but over my dead body that I will pay a single cent to get it.

I’ve even seen that getting people to bet with real money and they will be exponentially more careful, diligent and down to earth even if it’s just lunch money.
it all started when people blogged about their programming tricks way back, and hacker news should be part of the problem before github is. Github at least has functions other than a social hub.

Money buys quality in almost every other field.

What makes journalism different?
My name is David Bethune and I'm the founder of Mimix. My co-founder Rommel Martinez and I have spent the last year building an interpreter and hybrid database for a new text processing language called MSL. Today, we're delighted to show you a proof-of-concept application called Nebula[0] that lets you work with MSL and build your own cross-platform MSL apps with Electron and WebSockets. Our source code[1] is FOSS and we provide binaries for Linux, Mac, and Windows, along with a demo video[2] and comprehensive documentation[3].

TLDR: MSL is an imperative, functional, interpreted language that represents text documents and changes to them as a series of s-expressions. It serves as both a data representation format and a vector for sophisticated text analysis and transformation. Along with the language, a built-in hybrid database keeps track of immediate data values as well as changes over time. This enables new capabilities in text processing such as fact checking and fact correction, along with many others.

A new programming language was necessary for several reasons, which I wrote about in a paper called Recipes for Research[4]. The Language Reference[5] for MSL and a Users Guide[6] and Developer Guide[7] for Nebula are online and in wiki form so they always have current information. The historical precedents for Mimix (including Vannevar Bush's Memex, after which our company is named) and its future applications are discussed in depth in the original whitepaper[8].

Rom and I are looking forward to hearing your questions and ideas. We welcome your comments. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration!

>If I was flat out telling my family I didn't like race X and wished that religion Y could be outlawed, and then shared in the public realm that racists are terrible and that freedom of religion for all is paramount...shouldn't someone be able to call me out on it?

I think this goes to the heart of the problem with the article in the OP. Everyone knowing everyone's business leads to a lot of good things. Like if you knew a subordinate was beating their wife you'd probably fire them. But since they beat her in the privacy of their own home they get away with it.

More broadly, if everyone knew everyone that smoked pot or was homosexual or cheated on their taxes there would be pressure to change some laws and follow others. Social shaming is a powerful tool. Like any tool it can be used for good and for evil.

The assumption that privacy is protection against anything isn't supported by history. The Nazis, the Soviets, the Chinese, the Khmer Rouge, along with many others all conducted their reign of terrors without the use of modern surveillance. Privacy was no shield then and would be no shield now. The only real protection is not letting people like that into power.
Having two installation systems is automatically worse than having one -- unless there are LARGE advantages to having the second one.

For instance, once you have two places a software package has come from you've added the cognitive load in debugging to determine where a given package came from.
In simpler times, hash maps used to be deterministic.

But that lead to easy denial of service attacks. So many languages, like eg Python, patched their hashmaps to use randomized hashes.

See eg https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2011/12/huge-... or https://lwn.net/Articles/474912/ or https://bugs.python.org/issue13703

The ui integration problem is real
That's ... interesting. I must admit, I think somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that, but I'm so used to font services requiring to be used remotely, I hadn't even really considered that. So there's absolutely no breach of any kind of law or terms if you host them locally? That could be a game-changer, thanks!
Nobody should be relying on dynamic linking as the primary way they keep their home computer secure. Enough applications statically link their libraries that this is not a reliable strategy.

If you can't trust a library author to keep their code up to date, it's probably also a mistake to trust them to use your system libraries in a way that minimizes their attack surface.

I also have problems with Flatpak's security model, particularly with their UX around permissions. We already learned from Android/iOS that allowing highly permissive manifests out of the box was a bad idea. But at least Flatpak is trying to do something, and that something seems like a tangible improvement to me. The idea that our systems will be secure because we dynamically link everything needs to die; it's not a viable security model.

Even if the only thing that Flatpak does is kill the "dynamic libraries make me secure" perspective, that on its own will be worthwhile.

> What I'm saying is for young people the opportunities for gig are relatively the same compared to 1991, except its in the different form.

You've explicitly named lotteries and acted as if they're the same as actual gig employment. I have several instagram influencer friends, and a few who make youtube videos on the side. It's their dream to go pro. You want to know their collective income, from a pool of about 10 people, who have been working at this for over a year? It's under $100. That's not a gig, that's a lottery that costs time and energy.

If you want to talk gigs, talk about Wag or Uber. Which, are also definitely not the same gigs that the article was talking about.
Maybe this is more revealing of how my mind works than an actual flaw, but this seems like it would be great for getting rid of evidence.

It's the same version listed on their site and it's from September 17. Maybe it autoupdates. I can't remember if I reinstalled it two weeks ago. I don't think so.
I saw a blog post about castes and 10 ways to figh casteism or whatever, and it looked like a run of the mill USA Black anti-racism listicle but with s/Black/[name of caste];s/White/[name of caste]

At first I thought sure the issues must be similar, but then it seemed too exactly the same and I decided it must have been copied from some US site and then minimally translated to use Indian groups.

There are a issues that are important in India/casteism but not in US/racism, like job applications that require a biography of the applicant's parents.
Free Guide to Japanese "The Mental Model" [pdf]
I'm actually quite curious as to where you guys end up taking the product, because at least pertaining to the legal profession, as of a few years ago, the entire system from your first proctored exam as a 1L to the bar exam didn't actually require the browser context at all. The UI we used had a heavy Windows 98 aesthetic going on, and mostly just consisted of native text-boxes with pretty minimal formatting tools, timer, and not much of anything else. But at the same time it's also understood on some level everybody knows that the rigamarole is done for its own sake entirely. It's always understood on some level that it's not the substantive law that these exams test for but instead how ably is one able to jump through arbitrary hoops in a prescribed time and format, which is one way of looking at the legal profession as a whole. It's entirely possible that as the vendor you may end up caring more about the exam than the actual test-takers themselves.
>A melting pot implies homogeneity and the loss of one's identity and history.

That's the contemporary narrative, yes. In another light it's just saying "E pluribus unum."

Before it became uncouth to express a spirit of national unity or civic pride, the melting pot was a way of expressing that who we are is defined by our coming together to participate in the great project we call our nation. And as part of that, we're sharing in the uniqueness each of us bring and hard boundaries start "melting" together as we form a shared history and culture. A very chunky concoction constantly getting new pieces added, not a smooth uniform mixture left to simmer.

We now live in an age where "identity" often means participating in a stereotype that's actively gatekept. So the melting pot metaphor had to fall out of favor.
It's not just that 'work' is not valued. The problem is that 'value creation' is not valued (particularly in the tech sector). There are plenty of highly paid bullshit jobs.

Tech corporations are essentially empty shells; their market caps are not based on the value that they create for society but on the rate of money printing by the reserve banks of the world.

Because tech corporations are not subjected to free market forces like everybody else, they eventually lose their ability to create new value (and the kinds of people who join these companies and stay there do not have a value creator mindset). Indeed, if you compare the price of S&P500 companies relative to most stable-value commodities such as gold, it would seem that the S&P500 hasn't grown at all in the last 5 years. However, S&P500 correlates strongly with the growth in M1 and M2 money supply. This indicates that the growth in nominal price of stocks in the past 5 years is entirely artificial.

Young tech workers cannot compete with corporations because the playing field is not even. If your competitor is getting free money from someone, how can you possibly compete with them in any market?

This is why all young people in tech these days are eventually absorbed into corporations. Whether through employment or phony acqui-hire. It's also why big corporations like Google used to buy up startups and then kill the project immediately afterwards. It's mostly phony money transfer with hidden motives and it's not related to value creation.
Just to clarify yocto is not a distro but a project that allows you to create your own custom distro. Two yocto builds could be completely different from one another even using different package managers.
Oh I'm not disputing that people will contribute at all, in fact I'm positively sure they will.

The issue is that people's contributions will be highly skewed, for the reasons I listed.

Here's an analogy: imagine someone starts a separate stock market with play money, but asks everyone to invest "as if they would with real money". Do you really think that stock market will track the real stock market, even remotely?

Of course not. It'll be full of wild swings, people will make decisions for entertainment, nobody will pay attention to market fundamentals, because nothing is tethering it to reality.

A prediction market without real money suffers from the exact same problem.

I don't think open source or internet forums are a valuable analogy here, unfortunately -- pull requests are accepted or rejected by a maintainer, Wikipedia has very strict rules on what is accepted, and misinformation on Twitter and Reddit is rampant. A prediction market attempts to provide actual objective predictions without anyone in charge, which makes it totally different.
I think he is questioning if a company or IP is valuable if it is only changing hands between funds. As opposed to, let's say, the public.
This isn't a theoretical question!

There have been many large fortunes made recently. They prove the point. Facebook/Google are the obvious example.

Companies that are selling stuff for money (spotify, netflix) are bending over backwards to convince investors that this is just pocket money... the real value is in data gathering and monopoly building. Read their prospectus. Netflix's recommendation algorithm narrative was the main focus of their PR for years. There's a reason for this.

Why has Tesla's stock price gone insane? Investors are betting that Tesla's data gathering has given them a meaningful edge in autonomous driving. The market value of this edge is (evidently) more than the market value of all other car companies combined.

Look to tech acquisitions. Why are free apps like snapchat, whatsapp and such worth billions to acquirers like facebook? Have any paid apps even come close to this market value? No, because spyware, adware and monopoly building are far, far more profitable.

Note that I say "profitable" in regards to income and "valuable" in regards to company value. It's true that the economy of buying stuff is big. It just isn't as profitable and therefore not as valuable.
