Their message was very polite, simply pointing out the existence of other lifestyles, and barring personal tastes, it’s functionally not difficult to change your own.
There is nothing to say that 'decentralized' will be better for us on the whole.

Facebook and Google actually do a relatively good job of protecting our data. They have to live up to specific claims by government, which some people don't like, but otherwise, it's pragmatically safe.

'A million servers' here and there, without process, oversight, 'a lot to lose', lack of transparency, and it might be a whole lot worse for most people.

'Many leaks' at small companies may not have the public and regulatory impact as a 'single big leak' at G or FB.

For 'the tech literate' who know how to manage themselves, it may open up avenues of greater security, but for the net-plebes, not so much.

Think about the freedom that comes with ample food + health and lifestyle choices. Some people are incredibly more fit and healthy than any other people in history, but most of us are somewhat more sedentary, we eat to much, don't exercise enough.

>Every single problem I've ever had with excel stems from excel trying to be too clever. Nearly all my problems with importing data into it could be solved if excel left everything as is

We're biased to bash on Microsoft for being "too clever" but maybe we need a reality check by looking at the bigger picture.

Examples of other software not written by Microsoft that also drops the leading zeros and users asking questions on how to preserve them:

- Python Pandas import csv issue with leading zeros: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13250046/how-to-keep-lea...

- R software import csv issue with leading zeros: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31411119/r-reading-in-cs...

- Google Sheets issue with leading zeros: https://webapps.stackexchange.com/questions/120835/importdat...

Conclusion: For some compelling reason, we have a bunch of independent programmers who all want to remove leading zeros.
Agreed. There are regions of commonality, that share little or nothing with other regions. This isolation feature means that simple statistics is uninformative.
You can easily create tests for cases like that in excel. For example, if you know that all cells in a column must conform to specific conditions, you can create a new cell with a formula that validates the other cells. I have a bookkeeping excel where the "validation cell" becomes red when it detects errors.

>You can install the typing module all the way back to Python 2.7, where list[int] will never work but nothing prohibits typing.List[int].

Why though? Even in 2.7, isn't the : type and -> type part just taken as annotation (that is, could just be ignored and not clash because it's a valid type)? Or was it some parser shortcoming?
The answer is simple - bureaucracy. Probably you were spared having to deal with government types.
> People at war, they need something, they take it(with automatic weapons). Super simple.

That is not actually true. Most people in war zone are civilians without weapons. The survival depends a lot on navigating power structures and negotiating. And luck. But it is not simple and everyone speculates.

> When your mother or sister or daughter has been raped and you have to protect her for being raped or killed?

How exactly would you protect them? You don't. Cause I had relatives survive war and read memoirs from civilians and it was more that everyone was looking for source of income. If males had to join army or guerilla (or died), then it is women trying to survive and trying to care for those who stayed (children, old, themselves). And that is not simple.

> Are you going to study when you don't know where your family is?

Hardly. But school systems in war countries and occupied countries do somehow move on, as malfunctioning as they are. People leave them to search for income and food. People clinge on activites too.

Mental health issues get worst under those conditions. The conflicts between people escalate while everyone being even more dependent on each other. People live in cramped conditions. And none of that is simple. Living in one household with mentally ill or abusive relative you would normally cut off is opposite of simple.

> When they go after you because you abandoned guerrilla (or the army)?

Majority are civilians.
No worries, Excel is nice for small/medium sized data and has the UI/Visualization which is nice.

The story I mentioned was because I wanted to look at the data before I started parsing it. I had full expectations to use either sqlite or Pandas.

Legal measures ensuring the ability in all situations to physically turn off privacy-invading features, plus the right to repair and tinker, would be a good start.

How on earth is this the top rated comment? I would downvote it if I could. As other people have noted, you can import CSVs values as strings instead of numbers.

Furthermore, losing preceding zeroes in number-typed values is not unique to excel; it is a common feature in all typed programming languages.
Excel is not bad, the users and institutions which use it for any use case are to blame.

The only correct usages of excel (and google sheets) are for user input to other processes, and visualization of data (which should be definitely stored in raw format in some database). And always assuming frequent backups of all sheets and of course manageable datasets. Anything else that includes external processes/scripts which append/ovewrite data in sheets is terrible practice and very error-prone.
> but that harm is surely still an order of magnitude reduced compared to farming animals?

Probably true if you compare it to conventional cattle farming, as they're largely fed corn from fields.

I suspect pasture raised, grass fed animals have a vastly lower deaths-per-bite count than a veggie burger, though. I don't know that I subscribe to the "accidental deaths matter less" argument, either.

Bose is indeed an iconic company. That said, as a long-time bose user their products are deteriorating in obvious ways. As a heavy traveller (pre-crisis) my first pair of quietcomfort headphones were fantastic. They were so far ahead of anything else I had ever owned that when in a jetlagged state a sadly left them behind when departing a plane I had no hesitation in immediately buying another. These lasted a quarter of the time I had the original pair before the pads became uncomfortable, split and I replaced them. Still a pretty good pair of headphones but the second time the pads fell apart I decided that it was time to relegate these headphones to "backup" status and upgrade to wireless.

I decided to get a bose pair even though I had reservations. They were ok - the sound quality was not as good as either of the previous wired pairs, but I figured that was the price you pay for the convenience of bluetooth wireless. They worked well until like my first pair I left them on a plane.

OK no more bose - I bought a pair of Sennheisers. For the first month these were fantastic and half the cost of bose. I liked them so much when my wife wanted headphones I bought her an identical pair. Then one day they just decided they would no longer pair with my bluetooth devices. No idea why, no way of fixing them and when I looked online lots of other people have had the same problem and end up sending them back to Sennheiser and getting a replacement pair. I can't be bothered to do this so I go back to bose.

My latest pair of bose QC headphones are by far the worst. The audio quality is worse than any previous pair of bose headphones I've owned, and the microphone is so poorly placed that I've given up using them for calls - whenever I did this in the past I ended up spending half the call explaining to the other person that I didn't need to speak up - I was already talking unreasonably loudly it was just that the microphone didn't work properly.

Headphones seem to be going through the "tornado" phase right now where demand is soaring and quality is plummetting. The way for Bose to distinguish itself would be to go back to making good noise-cancelling headphones (which it used to do very well) but I think it is most likely they will follow the race to the bottom and get crushed by larger competitors.

As a long-time fan of Bose headphones at the moment I won't be sad to see them disappear.
That'd be lossy with hash collisions, though.
The issue is that CSVs are untyped and software has to guess the type, sometimes unsuccessfully.

> That way, you control your data, and you control who you share it with.

Well, you already control who you share it with, as you're the one initiating connections to sites like Facebook. It just happens people give a lot away to browse sites these days (admittedly exactly what they're giving away remains quite opaque).

Unfortunately even if we did move to one-platform-one-person, the question of data control remains as murky as ever. Suppose you are hosting a party so you send your street address to your friends so they know where to show up. Then they play a fun quiz game that tells them their Harry Potter patronus based on the street address of their friends (that means you). Suddenly some anonymous quiz maker (let's call them Oxford Synthetica) has access to your street address and at least one of your friends' info through no direct fault of your own.
We generate a daily changing identifier using the visitor’s IP address and User Agent. To anonymize these datapoints, we run them through a hash function with a rotating salt.

hash(daily_salt + website_domain + ip_address + user_agent)

This generates a random string of letters and numbers that is used to calculate unique visitor numbers for the day. Old salts are deleted to avoid the possibility of linking visitor information from one day to the next.

After looking it up and finding iced I'm curious too. There are so many GUI frameworks for Rust but I never have heard about iced before - looks promising though.
In this case something different but related is going on: software engineers have come to perceive a license as something negative, as something that sets limitations on what you can do. This makes an un-license seem desirable, as it's freedom from restriction. This also matches our behavior: code on a blog post is assumed to be free to copy and use, unless it has a license attached that limits this freedom.

In reality of course the base state is reversed: having no license means you are allowed approximately nothing, and a license gives you (often limited) rights to do something with it. In reality an un-license would take away rights you previously have been granted.

It feels like we are on the threshold to license becoming a Janus word.

It's why I think more and more as the days go on that the Internet, while being humanity's greatest invention, is turning out to be a net negative. Despite most human-development-related statistics pointing to the fact that humanity/civilization is at its most productive/safest in all of history, the Internet is slowly eroding away what it means to be human.
"[Hunter S. Thompson] chose, rather than writing original copy, to re-type books like The Great Gatsby and a lot of Norman Mailer, the Naked and the Dead, a lot of Hemingway. He would sit down there on an old type-writer and type every word of those books and he said, 'I just wanna feel what it feels like to write that we'll.'"

HST: "If you type out somebody's work, you learn a lot about it. Amazingly it's like music. And from typing out parts of Faulkner, Hemingway, Fitzgerald - these were writers that were very big in my life and the lives of the people around me - so yea I wanted to learn from the best I guess."

Technically I would agree with you, but economically, why would anyone drive from the passenger seat, and almost nobody will look forward to sleeping on the road - but my drunk definition applies to everyone in the world who drinks wine, beer, or spirits.

A car you can drive drunk is the problem the tech solves, which is what makes it both viable, and provides success criteria instead of making it just about unreasonable hypothetical standards of perfect safety.

The entire ML and machine vision endeavour should be called what it is, a moonshot to create a drunk driving car.
