Mental health services in my area are really good although I know that isn't that case nationwide.

Sure the NHS could provide better services if they had more money, but that has to be paid for by someone, somehow. The obvious way would be to increase taxes, but the government won't to that as it's political suicide to do so.

Just like the financial help that people expect from the government due the COVID crisis; everyone wants the government to spend more, with little thought on how they are supposed to fund that spending.
Wasn't that OP's key point? Vast majority (if not all) political messages are both true and false, depending on context and personal bias.
I'm repeating myself but just to chime in on the most common pushback this sentiment ("no more RSA!") gets: nobody is telling you to switch providers so you can do ECC SSH. The gist of the argument is not to introduce RSA into new designs --- which is a thing you see people do a lot if you review cryptography implementations, and it's often a clownfire, moreso than NaCL ECC designs.
Sure, sure, but that's a completely separate topic from voter fraud. And it's also not something I've heard anyone alleging happened in the 2020 election.
I was going to snarkily make a point about that figure only making sense in the context of grammatical english text, with the example of a randomly chosen 7 letter word being one of 32,909 options.

log(32,909) is about 15. Which is of course 1.5 bits per character, and that's generously assuming that a person will actually randomly pick from all those potential options. So sorry for what I almost commented, but now I have to wonder why the entropy of a word on its own is so close to the entropy of a word in a sentence. Am I missing something? Is it just coincidence?
Look at it this way. With more direct democracy, people can finally get what they (f'ing) deserve, and they'll have no one to blame but themselves. No more hiding behind the politicians they voted for. And even then, people still refuse to hold these people in power accountable for stuff they do. Maybe we need to hold the citizens accountable, and only then will we see sensible legislation at some point in time.
The problem is that you need someone to drive a coherent proposition ie. Select the subjects that are meaningful for an uneducated crowd to vote on.

Otherwise, someone will propose to vote for "x millions for everyone!" and it might have some success...

ECDH and ECC signing systems (simpler answer, and the one everyone means when we talk about this stuff: libsodium). The "20 years maturity" thing is funny, because it's a line from 10-15 years ago that has now aged out. In reality, it was always a shorthand for "don't adopt systems you read about on sci.crypt", which, obviously, modern curves aren't.
I like this. I like that you looked at how everyone else did something (i.e. ordering by time) and asked "why?". Why not plot it in a more meaningful space? I have one idea -- what if node color was a function of time, and the x-axis was changed to effort? You start the node at one color, and progressively change it to another color using linear interpolation. When creating a TODO item:

1. Specify title.
2. Specify dueDate.
3. Capture startDate = now().

Then

currentColor = lerp(now(), startDate, dueDate, initColorVector, finalColorVector)

This would add a third dimension of information. I'd be able to see impact/effort as well as urgency visually. Another idea is to specify the shape (square, circle, triangle) to add some categorization capability. I'm not sure how much is too much. But the visual cortex is a beast.
Good question. This isn't for PMs. This actually should not be used for large/ group projects. As you rightly said, a PM will put everything in top-right.

While that's true, there's still some number of people who would genuinely rather have freelance and 'gig' jobs for one reason or another if they weren't dependent on the healthcare provided by a 'real' job.

The dilemma with the news is that some of its downright urgently important (COVID-19). There is plenty of important information that only comes through the news such as changes to the law, those can really impact you. Then there is the important into the future like the prevailing wind on privacy concerns.

It is mixed in with a lot of he said/she said and other nonsense propaganda that really isn't important. It is written to tickle those brain cells into thinking it is potentially urgent and/or important however. I think its hard to tell what will become important anyway, knowing about something years before it happens (like privacy changes regarding software that seem inevitable at this stage) is going to be relevant to some people and just knowing when the law changes probably isn't sufficient to do something about it well.

I don't read the news anymore, I RSS the areas and topics I am interested in and it becomes hard to miss the big stuff. But cutting it out completely is impractical.

Mewse. You are a fucking asshole and I feel sorry for you and everyone within your orbit.
I'm thinking about those ideas since years. For me it is strange that it seems for many such a hard concept to grasp, since the advantages are huge and obvious.

Today some tasks like mass renaming of files of a certain type require an extra tool for a casual users, which is in most cases not available and the task therefor not doable. This is a pity and wastes a lot of potential/productivity.

If programs where things you could easily talk to - and I don't mean by using a programming language - then filtering and renaming some files should be easy.

This kind of mechanism would also allow to blur the line between the traditional desktop, the cloud and AI (something that has been tried before, but failed because the use-case where not compelling). For example, if Microsoft would update Windows in such a way, every user could have some cloud points for AI image recognition per month. If for some reason you needed to do a lot of image recognition, you would have to pay extra. Which would be okay, since using "more resources" creates costs somewhere and we as society agree that someone has to pay for it -> capitalism. This blending of ecosystems and capabilities is where things should be going, but strangely none of the big tech companies seem to pursuer such a path.

> It's pretty obvious that the democrats failed to demonstrate that their goals were rather close to the center of the spectrum

tldr; Republicans did not even attempted to demonstrate that their goals were rather close to the center of the spectrum. Why is that the democrats are supposed to reach to center both when they won and loose?

I don't think so. When you are closed in right wing bubble, Biden is hardcore socialist, nearly progressive communist about to destroy American capitalism. Literally. He is also sleepy Joe in clear early stage of dementia. This has zero to do with what democrats demonstrated. This is made up, because making it up is good for "our side". It does not matter what Biden is or demonstrates.

Frankly, it is like relationship with narcissist. Dont let him/her gaslight you into thinking you are at fault for whatever was done to you. It is overall unfair and biased toward right wing. You dont fix relationship with narcissist by going out of your way further and further trying to prove made up accusations are false. It does not work, the middle just shifts constantly and abuse just escalates.

Republicans did not demonstrated the Trump along people he appointed, proud boys are not what the party is. You want left to stop pursuing their own policy goals, with threat that right wing will go crazy if they dont. But that is abusive logic, right wing is responsible for right wing does. And left wing is responsible for left wing does.
The Quantum Internet Will Blow Your Mind. Here’s What It Will Look Like
The big issue here being that Adobe has zero interest in selling this, and this kind of model would not lead to a $250B market cap business. Adobe wants to tightly control the experience, record how you use the software, display their own branding, try to upsell you on their other products and services, etc etc.

Software businesses care about controlling the UX/branding/etc. tightly, because that's where the money is - not selling "menus of filters". That's why every webpage is nowadays is a SPA that hijacks standard browser features like scroll and copy paste and no one looking to make money was ever interested in the semantic web.

I'm very aligned with the views exposed in the article and your comment, and have been working on some open source approaches to it in my free time for a few years now. I figure that the only way that it can maybe work is to make something for myself that I love using, and maybe some other enthusiasts will like it too and it can grow a bit from there. But there's probably no way it would ever meaningfully compete with Photoshop, because it goes against every economic incentive that software companies have.

In parallel, I also suspect that that's why the design/UX of open source applications tend to be extremely poor in general - great, tight design is expensive and needs strong economic incentives.

Stocks hit all-time highs in 2013 and every year since.
Honestly, right and left is pretty nonsensical, at least the current beliefs that qualify as right or left. The average person likely has beliefs that would fall on both sides and this incessant need to categorize someone as either left or right just leads to more polarization and more extreme views. When people are told they must be one thing because they have certain views about one issue, meanwhile their views on other issues lean more to the other side. But because of this strange all or nothing paradigm going on, there's no room for common ground or compromise, it's all or nothing one side or the other, you believe one thing, so you must believe all the things or you're on this side or the other.

That's utter nonsense, political spectrums aren't all or nothing, take it or leave it, all inclusive things. A person is capable of having a range of views on different issues that may fall on either side and it's perfectly acceptable for this to be the case.

Politics like everything in life isn't black and white all or nothing, take it or leave it, it'a a bunch of shades of grey like everything else and as with most things the average person, when asked about issues without the context of left or right involved, will likely express views that fall across both sides of the political spectrum.

As a registered Democrat, I would happily support a variety of measures factually proven to reduce (legal or illegal) abortion rates in general, such as easier access to birth control and better sex ed for teenagers, as well as programs that would reduce the appeal of abortion, such as high-quality government-funded adoption programs for newborns.

Strangely enough, pro-lifers generally oppose those kinds of things.
It would likely mean losing lots of integration and special features though. If it's outside of the app how would you have a modal UI which would change what's in the right click menu of the canvas ? You would also have to wait for your OS to implement 10-bit support for it - I'm pretty sure that e.g. Krita had 10-bit canvas before MS Paint :)

Also enjoy teaching students or even learning to do anything. With big software like Photoshop (or musical equivalents), you can take the book that comes with it and become fairly proficient at pretty much everything that the app allows. How would that work if there is no individual software ? What screenshot do you show on the docs ? How do you make YouTube videos when most people may have a different setup than yours ?
Ahh nice, that's a good idea. You are absolutely right in that it needs "Effort".
I intended this to be a personal prioritization tool, NOT something that should be used by teams. So you sort of have your own model of effort <-> impact and it gets marginalized (at least that's how it works for me)

>but policy-wise he didn't really make any horrible decisions.

This is where the problem lies within our current political discourse: both parties have fundamental differences within themselves on what they view as being morally on the up-and-up.

Both parties view certain demographics in their own way and this allows them to engage in policies that allow them to accomplish their end goal while never causing harm -- because they genuinely believe they are not causing harm to anyone. They're only following through on policies that match their moral compass.

Until this country has a reckoning on what its fundamental
values should be, there will always be a sense of distrust and skepticism between each other.

I feel like I am not the same person as I used to be anymore because of these lockdowns. I can totally see how people can become very depressed in this environment.

> In that context, I am not sure I understand the point about "wealthy people [don't] comprise a majority of relevant party representatives' aggregate constituency".

It is quite simple. "Around two-thirds of registered voters in the U.S. (65%) do not have a college degree", with relevant numbers for Democrats plus Democrat-leaning voters and Republicans plus Republican-leaning voters being 59% and 70%, correspondingly [1]. For simplicity, let's use education, which, as we know, has a direct correlation with net worth, as a proxy for wealth. Thus, as I've argued earlier, the aggregate constituency of congressional representatives largely consists of non-wealthy people. Therefore, by reducing taxes on businesses (especially big businesses, which are mostly owned by wealthy, including the "top 1%") and high-income people, the post-2016 tax reform disproportionately benefited a very small segment of said constituency ("socialism for the rich and capitalism for the poor" [2]).

> So... what does trickle down have to do with anything?

Trickle-down economics is directly related to taxes, as it is based on the notion that "taxes on businesses and the wealthy in society should be reduced as a means to stimulate business investment in the short term and benefit society at large in the long term" [3]. And your example was referring to post-2016 tax reform. Hence the connection that I have mentioned.

I blame C++. Not just that it lacks any runtime type information by default, hindering any attempts to interface with compiled code. Heck, even interfacing with C++ source is hard. It also comes with the mindset that this is somehow an advantage and with derision against other "scripting" languages.

For example C is better in this regard, it easier to call library functions without access to source code. And it's equally as fast.
Medication adds some stickiness to your focus. So does coffee. The problem is that it can stick to the wrong things.
To support your point. I've used these weaknesses to break crypto algorithms in the past.

A typical example is the crapto-1 Mifare Classic algorithm used to encrypt NFC cards. The way they read from the shift register and combine the bits was dumb and it's complexity weakened the algorithm.

Another I've seen is using two sequential keys XORd against one another to produce and "encryption" key. Turns out reading from low entropic systems very quickly yields a similar enough key that when XORd, partially removes the first one.

While this might sound reasonable and balanced in most democracies, it's just not applicable to what is/was happening in the US. Regardless of moderate views of individuals, this election was not about economic policies or other debatable differences, this election was about if we can get back to this described discourse level of coexistence, not where one side's chief strategist says it's required to behead scientists for deterrence, any adherence to truth, decency and the general right to exist for minorities was on the table.
No it implies all other times when other politicians were better at it. Plenty have been caught (I could name dozens a-la Nixon, Clinton, Boris Johnson, the Mahon Tribunal) but there are plenty of others that get away with what they do too (eg. Albert Reynolds).

Too put an exact percentage on who falls where on a scale of greyness is basically unknowable as a lot shall die with their secrets. But I would sooner claim it was 100% (I don't, not even close) than it is 0% minus Trump which is simply laughably naive.

Hasn't it ? I have no trouble e.g. replacing a hash map or container by another implementation in C++. We live in an era where we have libraries for everything and it takes seconds (okay, sometimes minutes) to introduce them in a codebase and swap them. What more do you want ?
