"do something against your own interests because you can't be trusted"

I really like the idea behind beeminder, as it focuses on discipline/process more than the outcome, but it looks like I could accomplish this with a spreadsheet, reminders, and a 'swear jar' of cash I actually get to keep.

Might work for some people.
The convenience of online is too convenient. I'm not a "gotta have it now" person very often. I generally don't like the general public either, if I hang out with people it's someone I care about or have somehting in common with (meetups and such). I can generally wait a day or two, and will plan meals around amazon deliveries a couple of day in advance. I don't have a lot of fridge storage space so I'll order Amazon Fresh every couple of days for food. I get most of my household items the same way. I generally plan ahead well enough and "buy in bulk" so that emergency runs happen very seldomly. I love the freedom of ordering online, also it's a lot more efficient and environmentally friendly than driving to a brick and mortar store.
Not the person you replied to, but it is pretty pervasive in popular (US) culture. People like Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Henry Ford, Beethoven, Isaac Newton, etc are lionized. Countless books are written about them and their accomplishments; they are held up as examples of the ultimate in success.

Meanwhile, people who play video games, stoners, adults who live with their parents, people who work at convenience stores for minimum wage, etc, are mocked with snide jokes on TV and in movies and internet memes. "Johnny, you need to do well at school and go to a good college or you'll end up like him!" as dad points to the janitor.

Reminds me somehow of a joke from a genetics class of mine:

A block of what appears to be encoded language is found in the DNA of virtually all organisms. It includes a primer with a key to decoding it.

After years and years of work by the world’s greatest cryptographers, the message is deciphered. It reads:

I’ve been on a new M1 since the day after release. Love it. FAR faster than my previous Mac. But there is some work left to do. It crashes every day, usually more than once. Frustrating but still very happy to have it. Just bought a second one today for my wife.

That's literally the only thing it did until I reconfigured my browser to access it. It's a misuse of `<noscript>` and it's completely unnecessarily intruding on how I use my own computer to access the content. I thought that was the kind of thing people here (especially the anti-JS people) frown upon.

This is known as source routing: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source_routing

The disadvantage to source routing is efficiency. Network operators have a better view of the network than sources, and will know how to route packets more efficiently. At the end of the day they’ll still have route tables and send the packets on the path they want, defeating the purpose of having the source specify a path.

A kind of source routing has interesting applications in P2P routing. Yggdrasil uses a spanning tree to assign every node a location, so that peers can determine efficient paths upfront. https://yggdrasil-network.github.io/

Same, I'm pretty sure if the products are all available in the same warehouse they will get shipped in the same box for efficiency purposes. I don't think such a simple system efficiency would be overlooked by Amazon logistics engineers.
I know, I wrote one that made me good money.

No private company can be trusted with anything related to encryption. They are either already in bed with the government or can be coerced by force, and that's assuming they aren't themselves interested in people's data.

I don't, and neither should the company, which is why they should call the police.

>why should they still be kept in the company if the evidence is credible?

Company is free to fire criminals if they want, no issues there. Many don't hire criminals to begin with, since your criminal history is public.

>So does it mean now you understood why some people dont want file a police complaint?

This is non-sense. If you're the victim of a crime, report the crime to the police.
Sorry, I guess I misunderstood your earlier comment.
Production always exceeds consumption due to transmission losses.

So, simplified you can produce 120% export 15% and import 5%. That’s net export, and covering 100% of demand. That’s also how they can have a “200 per cent renewable target by 2040.”
> I need to be able to debug the stuff I run, and complexity makes it difficult.

Bazel is way easier to debug than Make. Debugging a decent-sized build system made with Make is just an exercise in suffering.

I am… honestly… no longer interested in understanding the entire software stack. I understand my time on this earth is limited and want to spend it doing other things. With Bazel, I am spending less time fucking around with build systems and more time doing the stuff I care about.

> Tenths of MB of stuff is complexity. Tenths of build time or run time dependencies is complexity. A compiled tool when a script would have been sufficient is also complexity.

As someone who still writes C, I can understand the joy that people feel when you make some cool program and it’s measured in KB, not MB. However, what you’re describing strikes me as fetishistic.
You're thinking about Noscript the plugin. <noscript> is also an HTML tag that can contain content for use when the browser isn't running JS, but which would yield a cleaner page if not present when JS is running.
Well please prove me wrong but having talked to people like Roger Dingledine and Jacob Appelbaum in person and knowing a thing or two about how the Tor Project works, I have zero reason to think that this funding influences the security of Tor in any way, which is what "having its fingers in it" sounds like. The USA not funding the Tor project would, as far as I have been able to discover, not have changed anything about how likely it is that the USA or any other government has access to Tor users' data. If there are intentional bugs (bugdoors) inserted by any contributor, then those would be kept separate from any public funding it receives. Perhaps I'm not cynical, skeptical, or well-read enough though, so again, please point me towards anything that would suggest otherwise.

Then as for VPNs, they're again a very different thing. Funding research or a non-profit is very different from operating a commercial entity under a guise while abusing the trust anyone places in it. The comparison seems to me like comparing funding for general car safety or emission research with suggestions that the government operates one or multiple taxi services in order to learn who goes where. It's not that governments don't setup fronts or operate commercial entities under a guise ever, but rather that I have yet to hear of doing it for the purpose of surveilling random people (you have to get lucky in that anyone of interest signs up for yours, targeted marketing or no) that are not suspected of anything. Aren't fronts usually to enable targeted investigations or do specific actions unnoticed? Like, they might operate a VPN so it doesn't look weird if their secret operators use those IP ranges as well, but the main goal wouldn't be to spy on users (not saying they wouldn't do that on the side, of course, but it's getting more far-fetched).
Oof, harsh assessment of our industry.
Sounds a bit like my experience waking up from anethesia after an operation. I couldn't see but that didn't disturb me for some reason. I felt that I was lying down but had no idea why. I tried to sit up but couldn't. Whenever I tried something, some unknown force would push me down again. I tried over and over but couldn't do it. At some point I gave up.

A bit later I was able to open my eyes and my mum told me the nurses had been in panic because I was still hooked up to all the machines and the IV and they were afraid I'd pull it all out and/or hurt myself. They were the ones pushing me down when I tried to sit up.

I think I was like 10 or 12.

I used to blog with Wordpress, then moved to Medium then moved to Write.as to get more independence.

Now, I'm apparently the weird dude that blogs in HTML.

I literally write my blogs in sublime text, update via SFTP to a single Apache BSD server.

It's easier and faster than medium or write.as and I don't have to worry about anyone between me and my (very few) readers. It costs a few dollars per year.
The US is able to do that now. Humanity as a whole should work to change that. Agencies like the CIA, NSA and whatever other group that does "clandestine" operations shouldn't even exist in the first place.

We achieve this by making encryption easy, powerful and ubiquitous. That will take care of their dragnet espionage.

I’d love to get rid of JS for my personal sites, but I know of no clean and simple way to render dynamic content otherwise. Server-side rendering seems a bit messy. I want a clean REST API separate from the UI.

But if you have the knowledge then these other things become much easier. When I was younger I used to obsessively "configure" my environment(s)... Now I usually roll with the defaults, but the fact that I've been exposed to the paradigms and methods for tinkering with my computer means it's much easier to make a minor tweak when some other task requires it, or even realize that such a tweak may be possible.
Wow this is nuts. This is the first time I've ever seen such hardcore dislike of taarof. Usually it's referred back as a source of comedy and most people get whats going on fairly quickly. Persians get big houses and you pretty much go on a rotation to dinner party after dinner party. I remember my mom talking about it in her childhood too, especially around nawruz, and with the smaller community I was around it happened in a way, maybe not a few times a weeks but at least monthly. They're wonderful!

Does it result in vain status competitions too? Oh yes, but every culture finds a way to present a status competition somewhere.

This why the 'persian palace' trend among first generation immigrants in LA is a thing BTW if anyone else was wondering why.

Maybe try avoiding the toxic groups you are with? There are toxic groups in every culture that you might be conflating with the culture. Go find some Baha'is where the 'backbiting is the most great sin' puts a tamper on the behavior?
> most people don't run their own resolvers, so at best you're fingerprinting DNS server of the ISP.

That’s not how it’s tracked commonly. Similar to HTTP caches, you can fingerprint visitors by how quickly a domain request resolves for them. Sure, all of this can be mitigated. But you have to even know what to mitigate. And given the most fanatical privacy folks aren’t aware of basic timing fingerprints is a good indicator that no one is mitigating it nearly as well as they might think.
I highly recommend the 'interviews' part of this site [0]. Reading the honest opinions of professionals in this field helped me a huge amount when I was first digging into the internals of game engines and guided my thinking to understand some of the driving priorities.

These interviews give you enough to realise you may be missing something and point you in the right direction to read more.

Mishima isn’t really that divergent from the prewar fascist aesthetic. More context on that in this book:

https://www.ubcpress.ca/glorify-the-empire

The only thing different about him was that he came to his fascism in a kitsch fashion after it had otherwise been broadly repudiated for its destructive consequences (largely for psycho-sexual reasons, he was decapitated in his “coup” attempt by his young lover).

But in prewar Japan, there were plenty of avant-garde artists who turned fascist as it subsumed the country. In the postwar period, they were rightfully turned on by their fellow citizens who had watched their country razed to the ground and families destroyed by proponents of an irrational nihilism. Their recuperation only began in earnest when US intelligence services began purging leftists from the cultural sector and funding proponents of “traditional” Japanese culture in literature and the arts in the 1950s-60s. I know that Kawabata Yasunari received CIA funding through cultural front organizations and I wouldn’t be surprised if Mishima did as well (they were close friends and shared work with each other). All of this was intended to combat the otherwise widely popular emergence of leftist culture in the post-occupation period.

> In my experience there is a strong correlation between executable size and how hard it is to unravel any issue that arises in it.

Bazel bundles the JRE, that’s why it’s 45 MB.

The correlation is kinda beside the point, though, because my experience with Bazel is that it’s easier to unravel issues with Bazel than unravel issues with Make, and Make is much smaller.
The circularity argument for the frequentist interpretation of probabilities seems lazy to me.

The essay argues that the frequentist view of probability is circular because it "reduces probability claims to probability claims".

One can attempt to resolve this apparent circularity by thinking in terms of claims about the mathematical theory of probabilities versus claims about an empirical theory of probability (involving limiting behavior of experiments). Frequentist statistics could possibly be seen as a means of reconciliing these mathematical and empirical theories.

The argument of the essay precludes this kind of interpretation of frequentist statistics without even considering it.

This doesn't strike me as a good example of reproducibility in this context. Let me offer another one. Let's go back to your example of the 66% weighted coin. Given the physical properties of the coin, different people could independently come to the same conclusion that the probability of heads is 66%. I would describe this as an "objective" probability, as it's a nice representation of the available information, independently reproducible by different people, given the same information. It's different than "Bob arbitrarily decides that any yes/no question has 50/50 probability", which is inherently subjective.

This is more like "random concept car" / F1 than audiophilia.

The idea here, if it is sound and measures well, is basically only useful to track racers (because they race single-speed bicycles). Current chains are extremely efficient, and mostly compatible at the same nominal width (expressed as 10-speed, 11-speed, 12-speed). And they are very cheap. People do spend absurd money shaving grams on bikes, but this product is not really in that space. It requires an IGH or a single-speed and isn't compatible with any other high-end drivetrain components on the market. That's a non-starter even for the people spending $15k on a bicycle.

Here's a better "audiophile" example in vogue in cycling at the moment: ceramic bearings. These cost a lot more than high-quality steel bearings and quickly become less efficient than steel ones because the hard ceramic bearing destroys the softer steel races.
