When you can create a tv show the caliber of game of throne 5 years after the 1st book is release catch-up and over take the books. It makes you wonder if there is difficultly to completing epic, wheel of time dragged out, king killer and game of thrones.

> The incentives here are not aligned with the survival of our species

It's a pretty far leap from that to saying something should not exist. But I'll bite. How are they not aligned, and why does it not merit existence?
It seems to me that a lot of people print at work/school whenever they need to, rather than own a printer. At least that's the most common around me. Employers generally don't mind as long as it's only a few pages sometimes.
Amazon doesn't have a TLD for every country. It's super weird what they support...

Amazon.lu (luxemberg) but no amazon.be (Belgium). Amazon.at (austria) but no amazon.ch (Switzerland). No Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, but they do have Lichtenstein, Poland, Denmark. No Slovakia (sk) but they do have Czech (cz).
The GP solution has very little in common with microservices - it’s just a load balanced architecture with specific pools for different workloads. Just like we could do in the 90s.

Microservices are only microservices if they have both narrow focus and radical independence. If they have narrow focus without the independence then you probably have a monolith with 25 executables to deploy.
To be fair. It looks the idea itself is fine but if you are building a commercial product the only benefit it gives you is to finish your product. It's not going to help you make a good one.

Odd anecdote: When WoW classic was re-released in 2019, Lowtax himself (from the SA "Goon Squad" guild) killed me in the game with a Warrior character that was 20 levels higher than mine. Which even on a PvP server, relatively few numbers of people actually do these days (especially if they are grown men). Doesn't take much of a man to fight someone who is defenseless, whether it's virtual or the real world.

FWIW, I thought it was funny at the time when it happened in the game, but not so funny now after hearing of the allegations and feeling like this guy actually has serious issues.

Slavery was how it's always been until it stopped being how it's always been. Saying something is how it is is not a reason why it should be the way it is.

If you want to support it, you actually have to make an argument for it.
> watch their language on all discoverable mediums, and those that have never been sued

Yes I see how this has come about. I'm trying to say that it's not a very healthy place for our society to have ended up.

And I'm explicitly not talking about discussing ongoing legal action, or speculating about politics. I'm talking about technical matters, and communication bandwidth between people close to the coalface who may notice some pattern, and people higher up from whom this might be hidden, if the incentives are wrong.

Sometimes talking to people in person is the best from all perspectives, sure. But illiterate societies never built jet airliners.

You're probably right, but the main thing I hated was that I couldn't even click on an answer while being on the site, without being asked to log in. That's a feature I won't add to my site. Sign ups may be required in the future, but they're only bad if the user gets forced to sign up, when the only thing they want to do is to read a question.
Interesting article! Shout out to Fighter Pilot Podcast episode 93 a couple weeks ago with Col. Michael Phillips (Ret.), former U2 pilot with many good details and stories about the plane, it’s mission, load-out, and crapping your pants in an astronaut suit at 60k feet.
Can someone explain to me where Twitter and Facebook get the nerve to censor news stories from major publications? What exactly is going on here?
Always in awe of articles like these, where does a person with this kind of knowledge work?
Will they assess and critique developments if they are beneficial to Joe Biden political message and campaign? Will the public trust it?

The purpose of their stance is clear, but from this point on anything nature publish will have to be taken in the context of a political objective to get Joe Biden votes, with the side effect of benefiting scholarly independence once he is elected. That carries grave risks that people trust in the science decrease because the motives behind publications will be questioned based on political alignment rather than scientific evidence.
Is this solution possible with misinformation campaigns being waged against it from its inception?

I'm not disagreeing with you on an ideological level, but this solution is pie in the sky.

How do you propose this solution be enacted while the supporters it would need to come to fruition are actively being lobbied by the problem its supposed to solve?

Youtube is part of a public, non-state-controlled entity. As such, it has close to nothing to do with democracy as a form of government. It does have a social impact, which then influences democracy. As such, Youtube, and FB and Twitter and all the others, do have a responsibility for all of us. And they have to be held accountable for their actions, up to know they just raked in the profits and gave shit about anything else. Them now changing that is a good thing.
Why not? It pretty accessible and a nicely done video does more for the education of the general public than some pdf on a server behind a Springer paywall.
Of note, all the stuff about border closures making things worse was 100% politically motivated bullshit with no foundation in science - even the New York Times ended up admitting it: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/30/world/europe/ski-party-pa... (What they don't admit to, but was really obvious at the time, is that in the US it was driven in part by anti-Trump politics - the press quite openly associated it with all his other border policies they hated, there was a piece of pre-pandemic fiction about Trump frantically closing all the borders to stop a disease that was already in the US that circulated all over social media as a supposedly prophetic warning, and I think Biden's campaign even pushed the idea that Trump's travel restrictions made things worse after that NYT piece came out. Of course, in reality it was actually the whole of Europe who ended up frantically closing all their borders far too late, whilst the US stuck to targeted and relatively timely travel restrictions - if I recall correctly, pretty much the exact opposite of the "prophetic" anti-Trump fiction.)
Hostile because pedestrians needs to ascend and descend to navigate the intersection. People with mobility issues will need to use an escalator, or even an elevator (if there is one, and if it actually does work). And what happens when an escalator breaks?

As a rule of thumb, any overpass or underpass is any or all of the following:

- hostile design for pedestrians (majority)

- money sink / expensive to build and maintain

- architect's wet dream / resume building

- only looks nice on paper / rendering, but in the real world, at 1:1 scale it is ugly and makes the city look ugly

IIRC the idea is that the judge of the complexity is ultimately how direct it maps to the underlying implementation. For example VLWI machines follow the same principles but with the focus around super scalars, i.e. they favour explicit parallelism defined in the instruction stream as opposed to dynamic circuitry implementing instruction reordering and dependency tracking
Let's call some spades.

>>I hate the idea of censorship and I always have. However...

The first spade is free speech itself. Neither the custom nor the law applies to YouTube. In theory, it's a private site that chooses what videos it shows. In practice, youtube is a newly powerful monopoly. Both YouTube and Alphabet. There's a tension here.

In 2020 reality, political freedoms such as speech, association and even religion are realized on Google, facebook and co. When a politician or activist speaks to voters, it's on youtube. Whether or not breastfeeding is obscene is a Youtube decision. This isn't absolute, but it is to a large and increasing extent true. Your freedom of speech is violated in all but the most technical sense when fb, twitter, and/or youtube shut your mouth.

Social media is not a market, or marketplace of ideas. At best its a strip mall where two jovial consortiums own all the stores. This is the place where people decide to vote for X, that the virus is a hoax, or that climate change is real. It's at the heart of freedom of speech.

The second spade you called out well. These sites are corruptible and corrupted. Malicious misinformation spreads well here. This is already causing societal harm. They did this.

Another spade is reality regardless. I'm pretty confident that more, less powerful players, open protocols and such would be serving us better. This wouldn't have fixed everything though. Shared narratives have to be enforced somehow: culture, religion, media. If everyone is on a different stream, the shared narrative is broken. This would probably be true regardless of monopoly, though I think the consequences would be less severe.

Shared narratives are not necessarily true. Truth is not necessarily known, or necessarily in Google's best interest at any given time. In fact, truth is expensive. Formal truth seeking systems are the legal system, scientific method, drug approval process...

Going down this path means that Youtube (also fb, twitter) will be deciding and implementing the shared narrative. Religion? How about cults? Fringe activists? How about fringey elected politicians.

The final spade is inevitabilities.

These aren't could bes. The really hot current issues (eg the pandemic) are also hot political and even religious issues. This isn't nudity, which works as a canary for freedom of speech. This goes to the heart of political life on day 1.

Gotta make the star wars warning. The galactic republic fell to raucous applause. Chaos, and the need to suppress it.
But how do you take the power back? How do you yell shark and get people to listen when they've been desensitized by an ocean full of fake sharks?
agreed. how do we change it thou without dumpstering "free" video hosting?
The problem is that we usually discuss things in extremes.

We don't need to know how to sew our own clothes, but knowing how to mend them is useful. Do we really want to live in a world where we toss out a shirt simply because a button falls off?

We don't need to know how to build a home, but knowing how to fix simple problems is useful. Do we really want to live in a world where we have to call in an electrician every time we trigger a circuit breaker?

We don't need to know how to churn butter, but knowing how to cook is useful. Do we really want to live in a world where we depend upon someone else decides what goes into every meal we eat?

Yes, computers are there to do stuff for us and to save time. We should be exploiting that. On the other hand, we should not be reliant upon it to the point where it interferes with control over our own destinies or the creative process.

I love zolpidem too much, that's why I don't use it.

The best functional case for zolpidem/ambien that I've found is to first fall asleep with melatonin, and if I waked up before 4 AM, I'd take 5mg of zolpidem and be back to sleep in 30 minutes.

However, if I take 10mg of zolpidem and don't immediately go to sleep, I start hallucinating and I quite like it: first colors go away and the fonts seem to lose texture/wash out, then the sweetest audio hallucinations start that narrate what I'm reading, embellish the story or just thin, otherworldly voices that talk to themselves.
I remember seeing an HN comment from someone who runs an online fax thing. I wish I had saved the comment when I saw it. Basically you can just fax stuff from your computer for a small fee.
Spot-on. In my second year of med school (1971) half the day was spent in pathology lecture/lab. I developed swelling in my neck lymph nodes and went to student health. In the waiting room I reviewed my life to that point, knowing without any doubt that I had Hodgkin's lymphoma. The doctor took my history, examined me, and ordered a Monospot test. It was positive. I started my second life that day.
Have you had to deal with youtube moderation?

Moderators watching videos is optional.
I’m familiar with that infrastructure; However, that only takes over once a session-key has been negotiated, that is, after TLS handshake is completed and certs have been verified. That’s great - Everything should use that. What I’m proposing goes one further. When opening a socket, you should be able to specify your private key and certificate, pass it to the kernel, and be unable to further access that key from there. That way, your private key would be able to be entirely removed from userspace memory; Unrecoverable even if tried. Kernel TLS offloading as it exists is a performance enhancement that can potentially move the encryption computation into your NIC. What I’m proposing is a security barrier that reduces the amount of time that the private key is resident in (process mapped) memory.
I argue that democracy would be better if politicians cared about what people want. Not the top-of-their-head soundbite wants, but the actual needs driving those individual desires.

Ironically enough I believe that the current democracy we live in is effectively quite close to the original democracy, as it manifested in the city-state of Athens and wider ancient Greece. Only 3% of the total population had a vote: namely those with family titles or enough wealth.[ß]

These days we'd call it plutocracy or oligarchy.

ß: It doesn't really matter what the general population does with their votes when less than 3% get to choose what options are on the ballot in the first place.

The "no files" part of mobile OSs is the worst part for me personally. I constantly re-download the same PDFs, have to look forever for "that particular picture", etc., because even though you can technically access the file system on Android it's not like the majority of apps supports a file manager interface, and many apps just dump their file somewhere without explicit structure, so I basically never find what I need.
Yep they actually converted the original units from the paper to Neanderthal ones.

Note that Intel's advisory has since been corrected to say "All Linux kernel versions before 5.10 that support BlueZ" are affected. The fix is not in 5.9 nor any stable, so this is essentially a 0day.

The German model is not substantially different from the US model, US freedom of speech is mostly lip service and there are plenty of related laws that can and will be applied against free speech in the US such as laws against terrorism and laws against obscenity. One major difference is that Nazis are more protected in the US than in many other countries. This has purely historical reasons, though. Mainland US was never occupied by Nazis, so consequently it also was never "de-nazified".

However, if you're a communist or an ISIS sympathizer or want to publicly display some nipples you won't necessarily have more free speech in the US than in Germany.
I think it will occur naturally over the next few decades. Each misstep that Big Tech / Big Media makes chips off a tiny sliver of their edifice. Over time this will splinter into a thousand pieces, and some attempt to unify information across them will be invented and adopted.

It’s easy to forget that the modern Internet itself is only about thirty years old. We’re still at the very, very early stages.
>Real question: Do we continue to dumb down software to exclusive casual usage for house-moms or we try to move our society to be more techn savy as we are clearly moving to a more tech relying world. Why shouldn't everyone know how to code?

Well, the way of progress has always been simplying operations.

Do you know how to fix your car and do you make your own clothes, cheese and bread, in today's "bread and cheese eating", clothes wearing, car driving world?
It's not that hard. Instead of generating 70 end-to-end encrypted recordings of your meeting, you just generate 70 end-to-end encrypted packets with a shared symmetric key inside that allow you to decrypt the meeting encrypted with that shared key. You only need one version of the recording because there is only one symmetric key, but you transmit that to each client using their public/private keypair.

A war for democracy would be fighting to give everyone a voice, even to those who you disagree with. Remember:

- Those who sacrifice freedom for security, deserve neither.

We shouldn't sacrifice freedom allowing platforms to censor people.

Annoys me the bullshit on youtube on all levels, but I don't want any platform removing the right of those people to say their ideas. People can have bots, but they will never be as strong as normal users. For example, 1mi bots giving likes to a video pro-nazism, this will trend and 1mi users will downvote it :) considering the platform that youtube is, 1mi real users is almost nothing.

Also someone disagreeing with you don't mean that this person is stupid/dumb/lack critical thinking, this is a quite common thing nowadays, consider everyone who think different to be wrong and dumb, instead of analysing that most of the things break down to social, personal and moral values, which differ from people, cultures, and so on...

So let the real democracy happen and downvote what you don't like or don't approve, upvote what you endorse, etc...
> I'm not interested in what my doctor thinks of Biden, I just want to get rid of the damn foot fungus.

You are free to ignore what your doctor thinks of Biden, but if the other partly has or plans to enact laws which will impede your treatment, it is not outside of the responsibility of your doctor to inform you about that.
I would expect my doctor to at least to be informed about it.

Certainly, it only is an aspect of policies, and of course, you are free to decide differently, as your decision may weigh things differently.

But I think, the main point is, you don't want to be bothered. That is understandable, but the solution is to ignore it.
As far as I'm concerned charisma is like heavy perfume or cologne that someone wears when they don't take a shower. It's probably covering something else.

> large companies are plagued with bureaucracy which bogs down engineers from doing what they want to do.

Are there places where engineers can just do what they want to do (Google?)? What comes out of it? Brilliant architecture? A cluster fuck of features a some devs thought were cool? Awesome spin-off products?
Depends.

I have tried some of newer games but often were very disappointed.

I have tried to play what Bethesda made as 'Fallout 3' but I really do not like it. Its just not Fallout and they should have chosen different name. I really like Fallout 1 and 2. I always disliked Fallout Tactics for what they have done to battle mechanics in 'turn based' mode (they broken it generally) but recently I even got to finish it and even started to like it a little, but not to the point to play it again.

I have similar thoughts with Heroes of Might and Magic III (especially with new Horn of the Abyss addon). I have tried Heroes IV and Heroes V but VERY disliked them. I still like Heroes IV music a lot but the mechanics of play are terrible.

From more modern games I really enjoyed playing Shadowrun Returns series.

I also plan to play these some day (in no particular order):
- Art of Rally (as Colin McRae Rally 2.0 replacement)
- Mewnbase
- Wasteland 2
- Wasteland 3
- Dreamscaper
- Pillars of Eternity (all of them I and II)
- Expeditions: Viking
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker
- Disco Elysium
- Into the Breach
- Xenonauts
- Opus Magnum
- Metro Exodus
- Invisible Inc.

It refers to manufacturing a product and then separating it into tiers based on how well the process went. It's like how 16 GB MicroSD cards are just failed 32 GB cards, they don't set out to manufacture multiple sizes.

Absolutely! No better way to consume other's code than going through it on a printout!

This was the very reason I looked out for a modern dot-matrix printer, last year, only to find, that they have gotten pretty expensive (at least when compared to the InkJets and Lasers and in color, you also want more than 80 columns, etc.).

Also, what I did not find was a printer utility, that would print as many pages as still readable onto the paper, with a special emphasis on source code (hilite, etc.)

I did not purchase, however, since it is not so often, that I have to go through somebody else's full source-code.
"that contradict consensus from local health authorities"

Witchcraft ok in Africa but not USA? Prayer ok in USA?

Are they blocked at country level? How does this work?

Most countries are directly contradicting WHO, lucky YouTube knows best and can decide for us.
But there are still new printers coming to the market.
