Since we are in the realm of fairy dust, I'd like to point out the two bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki as retaliation for Pearl Habour.

1. We may say what we like, killing and injuring severely 150K people in indiscriminate nuclear bombing is a war crime. They knew it was. Otherwise they would have bombed Tokyo. Im aware that The targets were were active military bases, but civilians lived there. better yet, they could have bombed Germany too but thats another story.

2. You misunderstand the subtlety of modern conquest. Much of SE Asia, JPN, SKOR are countries under pretty much protectorates of US government and it's lauaghable to call them sovereign nations. They are in name only.

> Regarding the South American anti-communist actions, that is what it took to prevent it taking root.

This is a can of worms I'm sure the US Gov makes sure is fuzzy as hell. No idea why an economic system of another country is of such personal significance to US citizens that they will readily send their sons to die for it. I'm willing to bet a hairy unicorn that a majority of people in the US have no idea why their country spends so much energy fighting and starting wars in the last few decades other than some basic platitude of "Terrorism" and "communism". Ever heard of the Panama Canal? The term "Banana republic"? Read a book by the author John Hopkins, an American author.

> You can see what the alternative is in Venezuela.

Perhaps Maduro's mustache rubs Washington the wrong way. They've spent a lot of money and lives fighting mustached enemies the last few decades. He looks like a dictator who abuses his people to no end. A flash replica of Saddam giving the older politicians nightmares. I can only postulate.

The real reason Venezuela is failing is because it does not have money (Resource curse schurse.). UAE and Venezuela differ only in one aspect. UAE isn't a bastion of Democracy but is filthy rich. The difference is sanctions. And who do you suppose imposes those sanctions at the UN NA?
Why? Why do they care?
Has Caracas ever declared war on Washington?
Does the American taxpayer even know where Caracas is?

So many questions. So many simple answers. Not easy answers but simple.

I can right now open my vpn, change my ip address, go to my apple account and it will report that my Mac is "Online", meaning that apple knows that my particular machine is on with a given IP address.

> What surprises me is that when these propaganda programs become more well known, people are still hesitant to believe that in some form they are still happening,

the single most important thing that defines good propaganda is that it's invisible to those under its influence.. It used to be a lot "worse" back in the pre-Internet days when people generally watched a couple of channels and more or less got their info from news-papers. In a sense all these information bubbles are illustrating how much we are being targeted because we realize that we're not actually agreeing on anything - but again we only see how the targeting works on "the other camp" rarely on us.

the rift going across (Western) society can largely be attributed to how propaganda has changed (forced to be more targeted and aggressive) and how the old forms of white/black info-ops which had massive reach no longer do their job. companies can now play too - no need to be a nation state to get disrupted by a guy in a Max Headroom mask. everyone can be both actor and spectator

It's so strange to me as a non-American when I see a flag wielding citizen somewhere in the news, or normal people display their pride for their home country by talking about "taking a knee", or when they say "he/she is un-American" etc ... or somebody on LinkedIn who considers themselves "patriot" and mentions this in their profile. This "pride" is unheard of where I come from and if such a person would be transported into my home country suddenly speaking my language but with that behavior they would look very out of place.

various names of great thinkers on propaganda float around but Jacques Ellul is by far the most articulate. He also has a section on Propaganda in his other (earlier) "The Technological Society"[2] which is his magnun opus IMO. Both the most underrated books I've had the pleasure to read in this past decade. (I think it was reading Ellul what ultimately radicalized Ted Kaczinsky e.g. helped him come to the conclusion that society is borked beyond repair).

Nothing is ever enough for anyone. Look at any discussion here. "This software should be fully free without ads", "this license isn't permissive enough", it's not distrbuted, it's not blockchain, it is blockchain, it's written in java. And I think it's fine. We need people on the extremes in order to put pressure and advance things, as extremes rarely get implemented, but meeting in the middle does.
And where are all the city folk in a rush to get their share of farmland?

I love farmers markets, but at the same time small farmers own less land. With mechanization and contracting out of harvesting "as a service" it's not all that surprising that "1% of farms" operate on this much land.

I think that depends on how you define wealthy. These days I consider it a net worth of at least $500 million.
It's a broad one. We've been here often, if for the sake of argument you control for issues that are brought forth like suffering or the environment, the overwhelming response will default back to saying those thing actually didn't matter because meat is murder anyway.

Granted "some vegans" would be more precise, but that's still the sentiment.
Exactly how I describe it! A super power but one most people can't even recognize.

LibGen already has "torrent per 1000 files" for a long time, some books also have their individual torrents but it's not common. I'm not sure why, but I think the problem is that files on BitTorrent cannot be directly addressed by hashes, it had to go through an intermediate step called a "torrent", which does not uniquely identify individual files directly. You can always select the one file you need from a huge torrent, but it's not as convenient as directly addressing files by their hashes.

That was never the position and lots of third party tools sprung up to make things work once the vendor folder was added in Go 1.5. That was three years after the language was released.
The easiest thing is to use smart switches in the wall to replace your light switches instead of smart bulbs. Most smart switches will work as regular light switches even if the whole rest of your smart home is down. Then you use the smart home stuff to make everything more convenient but if the smart home is down it falls back to dumb home functionality.

An easy example is my pantry. It’s got a smart switch (Inovelli Zwave) hooked up for the light plus a door sensor on the door. Normally when you open the door the door sensor turns on the light by communicating with the smart switch and when you close the door the light goes off. But if everything is down the switch still acts like a regular light switch and you can turn the pantry lights off and on.

Other examples might be garage doors that open when they detect you pull in to the driveway. You want to make sure that you can still just press the garage door opener button so that you can get in like a normal person when presence detection fails.

Smart home functionality should enhance, not replace, at least until everything is 100% bullet proof and never fails or goes down (i.e. not in my lifetime)

Right. I had given a few examples of quite successful long-running permaculture / regenerative agriculture operations here - people like Gabe Brown (Brown's Ranch, ND, US, ~5000 acres), Richard Perkins (Ridgedale Permaculture, Varmland, Sweden, 25 hectares?), Geoff Lawton (NSW, AU, well-known permaculture pioneer, 66 hectares/acres - countries consult him, even):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24827234

Most of them have YouTube channels with a number of videos each, so you can see that they are actually walking (or plowing or no-tilling :) the talk. They also do invited talks and run internships. Gabe, Richard, Geoff and many others also use conventional or adapted machines (traditional heavy machinery or lower-cost appropriate technology), too, so it can be a hybrid what-makes-sense-as-well-as-is-sustainable approach; it is not a totally back-to-nature hippie kind of thing. In fact all those I mentioned are highly educated (whether college- or self-taught), and well aware of critical modern scientific discoveries and development in ag-related sciences (plural) and use them as appropriate in their operations. One big such example is Elaine Ingham's work (a Ph.D. soil biology scientist, founder of Soil Food Web, Inc.), which I also commented on in the same thread as the one I linked to above (it is very significant, and they all quote her and apply her results):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24828524

There are many more, doing their thing successfully and quietly, although there certainly are talks, books, videos, conferences, associations, courses, etc.

And some of them claim that their approach is lower effort and / or lower cost than so-called "conventional" farming. In fact, Gabe says that it is their approach (permaculture / regen ag) which is closer to "conventional", since it mimics nature, as much as feasible, and nature has been at it for millenia before we even walked the earth. And in a holistic sense, it is actually more efficient.

My take is that cultural boundaries will erode once it becomes clear the prevailing cultural identity throughout Europe is not French, German, West or East, but unemployed millennial onward. As you say, it will be interesting to see how this turns out.
Sure, but there's a legit gap in the datacenter— not having a sanely, legally rackable OS X machine is a pretty big problem for a lot of organizations. Not everyone wants to do their Jenkins builds or generate homebrew bottles on a Mac Mini under someone's desk.

The title looks pretty misleading IMO. Next.js Commerce can be found here (https://nextjs.org/commerce) and it's not related at all to this repo shared here.

Some notes:

- This looks like a SPA - And it's a really bad pattern for e-commerce.

- There are a lot of issues with Web Vitals. TTFB is blocking user interaction.

- Looks like SEO (due to SPA) is not being correctly populated?

- It's using Redux (Why??)

- Uses React Classes (Why???)

I'd recommend taking a look at https://nextjs.org/commerce where you can check all recommended patterns from Next.js 10 and more to deploy a successful e-commerce site.

Next.js Commerce supports:

- i18n Internationalization

- Lazy and eagerly loading Images with the Image Component

- Responsive by default

- UI Components

- SEO Ready

- Easily Customizable with TailwindCSS - Themes!

- Data Hooks - to fetch data from your headless e-comm of preference. (BigCommerce support by default)

- Site Speed due to Incremental Static Regeneration and blocking rendering/fallback when needed.

- Auth

and if you deploy with Vercel you have Analytics to stay on track - REAL Web Vitals are key for successful e-commerces.

This means you can easily clone this and run your own store with good practices: e.g https://chicos-commerce.vercel.app/ - Also built with Next.js Commerce.

States certainly existed without economists, but the world doesn't half look richer since states started caring more about economist hobby horses like trade policies, monetary stability, investment and human capital and less about gold reserves and military action to expand them.

Apart from anything else, they came up with an awful lot of influential arguments about purposes for and measures of prestige of states other than efficiently plundering their neighbours
As a side note. The video quality seems incredibly good for a video hosted on Instagram.
And what about when browsers (like Brave) start supporting IPFS natively, and gateways are not needed any more?
But that would defeat the purpose. Apple can be thought of as the equivalent of the NSA: they "care" about your privacy in the sense that they don't want anybody but themselves to have access to it.

Unfortunately we don't have an Apple competitor that cares enough about your privacy to not want anybody, including themselves, to have access to it.
> Overstating personal responsibility in this matter is naive and very American.

Not at all. You could say it's a "western" thing, but definitely not an USA thing (although they do tend to claim it for themselves like they invented it).

What's unique to the USA is the weird idea that personal responsibility is somehow a counter-argument to regulation. "Guns don't kill people, so everybody should be free to own them". At the same time, it's mostly the american left that argues against personal responsibility just because it's considered a right-wing belief.

To come to a conclusion: As so often, the USA is wrong, on both sides. The only "right" mentality, in my opinion, is one that acknowledges both personal responsibility and the option for society to step in.
Our article is better than the video https://classunity.org/let-them-clap/
Can't believe you're being downvoted for this, it appears to be an objective truth. Both major American parties would be considered (at the very least) conservative in most other countries. Instead, we're guaranteed, year after year, to be one of the handful of countries without single-payer healthcare, a living minimum wage, mandatory vacation... you get the point. That's without considering that certain American policies affect non-Americans (ie record numbers of drone bombings and caged children will continue regardless of whose smiling face is on television). There are workers' parties in the United States, but they are conveniently relegated to minor/rump status.
Maybe the next step of the "web" is just to fully embrace the browser as an app VM. Have one standard for reading Wikipedia, and another for running Figma in the browser.

WASM + some common simple widget-esque API (like a small subset of Cocoa/GTK/QT). The browser provide implementations of some functionality like text-rendering and event handling, but then it's up to developer/frameworks to solve everything else.
Sure but there's nothing compelling out there suggesting it happened.
Obsolete? Probably not. Indicated in outdated literature but contraindicated in current literature? Absolutely. I am old enough to have experienced it, and haven't. I'm also not against doing things differently than I did in the past. I've worked with 30 year olds who were completely unwilling to compromise, and folks in their 60s who were. I don't know anyone who would rather work with the former over the later because of age.

That sounds amazing. Which country is it?
Even if people agree with you on that, people care about more things than benefiting wage earners. Gun rights are a big deal for a large number of people. Abortion is a big issue for many people, as is immigration policy. Saying that, "One side is better on the things I value!" is startlingly blind to the fact that a whole lot of people don't value what you do, or value things in the same order.

I could just as easily turn it around and say, "It's easily verifiable that Republican states have better laws for gun owners." Now do you see the issue? Your above statement matters only if your primary goal is benefiting wage earners. It would be like me saying that Republicans are better at building a border wall. Maybe so, but that's not top priority for Democrats.
It is as far as I could track down
> It was never about privacy. It was never a political issue. Can we please just discuss it from a technological standpoint?

No. Unintended consequences are important. There are privacy issues, therefore we need to discuss privacy.
You're perfectly demonstrating what's being discussed in this article.
Considering how much the gaming side of the PC market will drop on just a single card I am more of the opinion that Apple chose to avoid this market because it did not want the association with gaming as if that were beneath their machines.

At times there seemed to be a real disdain for the people who loved upgrading their machines as well as those who gamed on them. Apple's products were not meant to be improved by anyone other than Apple and you don't sully them with games. The Mac Pro seems to be the ultimate expression of "You are not worthy" from the base system which was priced beyond reason to the monitor and stand. It was the declaration of, "fine, if you want to play then it will cost you" because they didn't really care about the enthusiast of the wrong use - games and such.

Exactly; when there was a clash of civilizations between a free west and a repressive soviet union; it made sense that Russia was the enemy.

Now it is just a conflict between different European powers with varying levels of dysfunctional democracy and corrupt elites.

So what is the basis for hating the Russians now; racism?
If the pinning came with encryption where the key is not known to the pinned system, I think most would be OK with it. There's no way to know, or demonstrate that anyone could know, the contents of any given file. Furthermore, the file could be broken into encrypted chunks and distributed redundantly to many users. Kind of like BT turned inside out.
Ohhhhhh ya. I totally forgot about those! I still have my books (as well as the collection) but it's been a while since I read the later ones.
> not limited to being a cheap tinkerer board anymore

being not limited to being a cheap tinkerer board doesn't mean not being a [slightly less cheap] tinkerer board among the rest of roles. I didn't mean I don't need GPIO. I actually want more GPIO so I could connect a "hat", an infrared port, a cooler and still have spare pins for actual tinkering.

Another cool thing available exclusively with Raspberry Pi is polished Raspbian OS coming with free Mathematica and other goodies.

Hardware codecs also feels nice and, AFAIK, you don't get them with x86.

At last but not at least (this arguably is the most valuable part actually) it is THE SBC. This means it's easy and efficient to target for a developer (incl hardware developers) and easy and efficient to share problems and solutions for the community.
America's biggest export is culture
I agree. Actually in this day and age I think all information sharing should better be placed on darknets. I don't see the net advantage to anybody of being profiled constantly on clearnet.

Naive question: is there such a thing as Bittorrent over I2P or otherwise anonymized decentralized file sharing?
Increased innovation created through more competition (eg: vertical farming). Also, all the issues associated with mono-cultures.

I don't think comparing agribusiness to other industries is going to help. Yes, factory farming is more efficient, which makes it cheaper. But the price we pay doesn't necessarily reflect the actual costs to our health and the environment.
Depending on how you define wealthy yes that's true. But who DOES have political power then? And what class of wealth do they exist in?
As someone who lives in Latin America and sometimes interacts/works remotely with North Americans I get this same impression. For better or for worse, America always seemed like the a place with issues, but with a people which could quickly gather and get shit done. Nowadays it seems you folks worry too much about semantics & ideology (on both sides) and will keep electing the next populist in hopes it'll fix all problems, just like Latin America lol.

Your opponent nowadays is a very pragmatic autocratic regime, with it's own issues, but this corona-crisis at least showed they can keep their mandate of heaven. Four more years in this culture war and you won't be able to get consensus on anything.
