Yes, for things like PATH.
But ASSIGN did more, you could essentially create a "device" (combining all ADD'ed things) that could be transparently accessed as such by other programs. It worked like a version of the Windows SUBST command accepting multiple arguments.
Also, I can see how statements like:

> The world would be a better place if others too had the insights that I have now.

seem narcissistic, but I think that's kind of just a logical conclusion of thinking meditation is useful? (and that most people don't meditate)

Maybe having that thought come up often, unprompted, is a sign of narcissism. But being presented with the statement, I think most meditators would have to say they agree, unless they didn't find meditation useful.
>You mean harassment like calling them, "Russian agents" ?

Strange, I'm not seeing any of that for the topics mentioned:

"military industry": https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/e0b1ui/dwight_d_eis...

"crime financial complex": https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/3r93j0/til_t...

"pretexts to war": https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1aiszn/new_eviden...

These have all received high amount of upvotes, and I'm not seeing any evidence of smearing/harassment happening in the comment threads.

>Or harassing them by having their websites deranked and hidden on Google, like what happened to WSWS (among many other "dissident" sites)?

The problem here is that you're lumping fringe/extremist anti-establishment content with mainstream anti-establishment content, and assuming that if the fringe/extremist content is being taken down, it's because it's anti-establishment rather than being fringe/extremist. I've shown counter-examples of anti-establishment content being left up (there's plenty more if you search around), so the original claim of

>Talk about [anti-establishment] and see yourself get delisted from Google, smeared in the media, then get harassed by various agencies until you either flee the country or end up like Hastings or car bombed like Daphne.

is demonstrably false.

Despite this being uncommon in consumer video cameras, it's pretty standard to see this in long-exposure astrophotography setups - not to prevent overheating, but to reduce sensor noise. Some setups use Peltier or even cryocoolers to get to very low temperatures, but plenty of commercial CCD modules have water-cooling loops built in, eg https://www.atik-cameras.com/product/atik-11000/
From what I heard, they killed Astoria because there was fear no one would write UWP if it became good enough.

The new Microsoft has pretty much given up on real Windows development, so they're not afraid of Astoria in that sense any more.
I agree 100%. The lack of critical thinking skills in this country is a national security threat. We need a national initiative improve the baseline education and critical thinking skills of the next generation.

The powers that be, haven't got the memo yet that it doesn't benefit them anymore to have a populous which is easily manipulated. In the past, old media acted as parameter control, though concentrated ownership. Sure they had vested interests, but they were generally alined with American values; capitalism, stable democracy, international leadership by America, etc. But now each of the 340 million brains in this country can be accessed directly by foreign adversaries. Parameter control can not work anymore, unless we shut down the internet. We must bring the security to each individual endpoint.

Some will argue that we should shutdown the internet or censor it. But is that the world we want to live in? That would stifle economic growth and i do not believe it is compatible with the ideals of liberal democracies.
I'll provide an anecdote from my own life that I feel highlights the interplay between luck and work:

In 2010, I had just graduated college, was quickly running out of money, and had no luck applying to jobs at software shops with languages I knew. Out of desperation, I applied to a PHP shop, with my only qualification being that I knew Perl, a cousin of PHP. Embarrassingly, I had to admit this in the interview, and even though they let me finish the interview in Perl, I wasn't optimistic.

A week later, I got a call back that the job was mine. There was a big learning curve, but I picked up PHP well enough to rise up to a leadership position on the dev team. When I was promoted, I learned that when I originally applied, the only other person that applied for the position was a guy who brought a guitar with him hoping that would sell them on the fact that he was a great culture fit. They said if anyone had applied that actually knew PHP, they would have gotten the job by default.

I was lucky that no one who knew PHP applied to the job when I did, but it was my hard work that kept me there.

Later in the thread you state "Being born in a free country with a working brain and body is most of what you need". This is the luck of winning genetic, social, and geographical lotteries.
Without forming a specific argument, this popular expression is meaningless by its very nature. Yes, of course people won't like when a system they live in punishes them. That's not avoidable.
I'd hazard life critical systems requiring a greater degree of assurance that the software update actually arrived at it's destination. Maintaining connectivity to a great number of network end nodes is not a trivial endeavor, even before you get into them being able to move around.

But who am I kidding. Someone probably just pays pays for a SIM to embed in an ECU with remote wake-up to phone home and grab an update, and the cost comes from all the telco networks that need to be contracted with to forward the traffic back home.

This sounds strange. But after looking at the authors bio, it isn't strange any more. This has less to do with AI and more with cheap growth hacking.
Reading the scale they developed, I'm not sure how one could distinguish their results from the more general bias that the majority of people believe they are above average at any given thing (especially with statements like "I do X better than other people"):

The study encodes bias in both participant selection and in the survey questions.

I'm not sure why these types of studies are taken seriously. A clever researcher could probably get any result they want.

They don't call it "spiritual shopping" for nothing.

Also a single data point, but my Leaf averages a bit more than 4 miles per kWh, or slightly less than 250 Wh per mile. I'm not trying to make a claim that the Leaf is better--it depends greatly on the sort of driving that you are doing, but I don't buy that the Tesla has a significant advantage either.
"Are you highly confident in your spiritual strength and have free time to earn $10 / hr?"

Are they participating to earn $10/hr or to help science and understanding of meditation?

On the other hand, why can't someone who is confident in their spiritual strength just be poor and actually need the $10/hr?

The

The format of the two however is the same.

...in some southern states, nearly half the White families owned at least one slave.

Which states? This is easier to imagine of e.g. South Carolina than of Tennessee.

In general, exaggerating differences in the interests of different portions of the working class is not to the advantage of the working class. American blacks have suffered more from our racist authoritarian capitalist system than poor whites have, but they have both suffered. Many residents of southern states did not enthusiastically join the war effort; this was why they had to have a "Confederate Home Guard" to brutalize conscripts.
Thanks, I liked the description of projection: that it only works if the victim projects their own sympathies onto the aggressor.

That is to say: when the victim starts to think “maybe that person is being honest and just wants the best outcome for both of us as that’s what I want” then the instigator has won.
I agree with this. I would just add that if you are bringing up any comparisons in #2, I would have a document from a third party like Glassdoor that states what your specific market rate should be based on your attributes.
They may be trying to avoid running a virtualized linux altogether. If their goal is just to run Android apps, and not a full general purpose Linux operating system, then that would point to why they're not interested in Anbox. But like I said, I don't know what they're doing.
The answer is that joy is not a finite resource, and in fact grows with the sharing.
> For this study, the authors did not measure “agentic narcissism” (for example, “I am more special than others and deserve special privileges”), but rather “communal narcissism,” which describes people who think of themselves as more nurturing and empathic than others. Example statements that characterize this trait include “I have a very positive influence on others” and “I am generally the most understanding person.”

It's unfortunate how far I had to scroll down to see they are using a different definition of narcissism than one typically expects. I was either expecting either Narcissus "pop-culture" narcissism or the actual personality disorder.
I have absolutely no problem with accepting proof of superiority in some area. I will listen to demonstrated expertise. But what is the proof of knowledge in "spirituality"?

I think any public figure would be eviscerated for such a suggestion. It would certainly cost you tech jobs if it were known to the hiring committee. Perhaps the ‘masters’ statement would apply to the people profiting from public funding of such causes.

And in a totally different response, the vitamin D comment reminded me of the ad council messages of the 80s and 90s, which would tell people things that were unambiguously good for them, like “go play outside”, in a mitigation effort for their negative effects. The Mormon church also ran a lot of these type of ads. This was intended to be the opposite form of social good, one with high leverage through a small positive effect on everybody. This sort of thing seems unrecognizable today in the corporate media.

You disagree with what? That relying on three vendors increases your risk of being impacted by one? That's just statistics. You can disagree with it, but that doesn't make it incorrect.

Or do you disagree that planning for a total failure of one and running redundant workloads on other vendors increases your costs 99.99999% of the time? Because that's a fairly standard SLA from each of the major vendors. Let's even reduce it to EC2's SLA, 99.99%. So 99.99% of the time you're paying 3x as much as you need to be paying just to maintain your services an extra four hours per year. Again, you can disagree with that but that doesn't make it incorrect.

Some businesses might need that extra four hours, the cost of the extra services might be cheaper than the cost of four hours of downtime per year. But you're not going to find many businesses like that. Either you're running completely redundant workloads, paying 3x as much for an extra 4 hours per year, or you're going to be taken offline when any one of the three go down independently of each other.

Single providers go down, yes. And three providers go down three times as often as one. Either you're massively overspending or you're tripling your risk of downtime. If multi-cloud worked, you'd be hearing people talking about it and their success stories would fill the front page of Hacker News. They don't, because it doesn't.

I used to think that this would never happen, but now I wonder. MS makes lots of money from, say, office on ipad and android. MS makes tons of money from Linux via Azure. To this end, MS supports dotnet, squirrel server, and lots of other stuff on Linux really well. So maybe, just maybe, this could happen.

If I may ask a question...

The app stores perform payment processing, asset distribution/CDN work, malware detection and some minor tasks that AIUI have O(1) cost to them. They charge for only one of those, and make that charge high enough to cover all of the costs.

What is it that you're unhappy with — are you unhappy with the payment processing fee but feel that the price level would be acceptable if structured as a sum of three fees, or are you saying that the total fee is too much for the total work they do?
Narcissists are all around us and if they get attracted to one thing or another, it doesn’t make those things narcissist specific. If one is seeking to meditate quietly or have some bigger than themselves spirituality it’s likely they have no connection to narcissism whatsoever. Howevet if they actively promote themselves as best meditators, gurus, most spiritual etc they might as well be narcissist. Narcissists seek to lift their ego by means of the world around them without which they collapse. Oh, and narcissists are quite easy to spot. Humble people cannot be narcissists though some narcissists fake ehumility, but they do it poorly and again it is quite easy to spot

Walmart lets you restrict search results to items shipped and sold by Walmart, whereas Amazon removed this option years ago.

Amazon removed it years ago because they do not want to be in the law margin retail business. They want to only be in the higher margin platform business. And that makes me not want to support Amazon.
> Children are taught to not question what they're told, because it's much easier on parents and teachers when children don't question what they're told. Then when they're adults they lack any kind of critical thinking skills because they've been miseducated and they're easy targets for disinformation.

I'm gonna guess you don't have children. Children like easy-to-follow directions. They don't understand nuance at all. It's not because it's "easier on parents and teachers", it's because it's what works.

You add nuance later in middle and high school.

No more so than the original comment's presumption that "people who have previously come out against cancel culture and deplatforming" only care about the issue as some kind of tribal marker. I don't want to defend tit-for-tat snark, but it's super frustrating to see people making snide remarks about this issue even as it starts to affect their own beliefs.
If you interviewed body-builders about health and fitness, would you find them narcissistic if they say that they are physically superior to most people? Or a scientist who's spent her whole life studying, and who believes that their depth of knowledge is superior to most people?

Not all claims of superiority are narcissistic. (Although I think society has rightly picked a convention where you're not really supposed to say such things about yourself, but rather wait for someone else to nominate you as superior in some narrowly defined way.)

It is, in fact, possible to be truly superior in spiritual terms, but such people are usually identified by their demeanor and accomplishments more than their claims.
Videos don't always appear in search results immediately. He could have also just unlisted the video. I've uploaded hundreds of videos and many don't really show up in the results if they are similar to many other videos.

If you just search "CIA terrorist organization" you get plenty of other video that are similar to the one described, so it's doubtful this one was censored for content.

I think that people are increasingly getting stuck in their own filter bubbles. This leads to people drifting apart over time and into extremes. This is because there is no cohesive force getting them to think together anymore.

One proposed solution is to simply filter the more 'extreme' standpoints out of the dialogue. Hence censorship.

But I don't think that filtering and moderation are going to help much if people still stay isolated in their bubbles. All you're doing is superficially fighting symptoms; but the root cause remains.

This is aimed I suppose for Android exclusive apps like games but for apps like WhatsApp for example it doesn't make sense since you have WhatsApp Web and WhatsApp for Windows PC.
