There are tools though through which we can mitigate verticals and have in the past:

- regulated markets (eg limiting service bundling such as free email financed by targeted ads, tying devices to social logins, predatory social network effects, mandating availability of profile data for ad targeting to third parties, stopping ad platform Ponzi schemes eg without objective third-party efficacy measurement, create strong consumer laws against entertainment devices wanting to track and send ads to you, rethink 5G networking)

- mandate standard formats for your data/text providers to export at your request for you to move to another provider

- stop hw/sw bundling and/or tax closed hw/sw platforms different from general-purpose computers (such as has been done with Playstation)

- net neutrality

- return to public sponsorship of development for standards in information processing and demand alignment to such standards in at least public tenders or beyond (such as in the construction industry)

- mandate E-commerce transactions be represented through standard, signed order and billing manifests (rather than allowing proprietary ad-hoc/pseudo currencies which would also be problematic for tax authorities) or create/mandate digital currencies

The challenges we're facing as civilization due to digitalisation aren't entirely new and have been addressed for eg the telco and financial industry. It's only in the last decade that we're being brainwashed to become slaves to "the Cloud".

Well, it doesn't introduce anything novel but perhaps it is time for a new personal computer revolution. Raspberry PI 400 running Risc OS gives a taste of what the Archimedies was capable of, lots of problems too, but they are certainly addressable, and it is somewhat refreshing to see the performance of modest hardware using an OS that is designed for a single user, a taste of what a users experience was like in the Amiga era.
For software you're more likely to get a hinge from CarpentryHub.

Hinges - like everything else on CarpentryHub - are either in a state of permanent development or abandoned. So you design your project for Hinge 13.2, but then you come back a month later - just before you open your Etsy store - and discover that Hinge x.n has now become HingeOS, which is breaking change.

It also has its own HingeAPI, which is poorly documented, somewhere.

You were used to Hinge's ScrewHole 5.3. But that's now buried inside HingeAPI, which calculates your project budget and lifetime carbon footprint for you, but no longer accepts external screwhole positions, because it works its own values from the complex project specification you have to supply - defined in DirkLang, which is a hot new carpentry specification language only ten people know, and replaces HammerLang, which was fifty five years old and very popular but had a lot of frankly questionable design choices.

And the values HingeAPI returns aren't mutable, because mutability is bad practice.
Those buildings were abandoned. I don't know how increasing their liability would solve the problem.

I have absolutely no idea where you're coming from with this angle.

If people could just magically decide to be perfectly disciplined and motivated all the time, then we wouldn't need any diets would we? We'd just say 'great now just eat healthily all the time'. But people struggle to do that, so we have diet programmes to help them.

The diet plan is there to help work around the laziness and ill-discipline which is a natural and eternal part of being a flawed human being.

I do wonder if long-intended-lifespan wood materials, like the cross-laminated timber used to build this wooden skyscraper (https://www.cnn.com/style/article/wooden-skyscraper-revoluti...) could consume enough volume to make a meaningful dent in the carbon balance for the near/mid term of the next decades/century.
How much goes to Uncle Sam?
And fixed-volume currencies are inherently deflationary (e.g. gold, Bitcoin, etc). Actually gold is worse; back in the gold standard days economies suffered deflationary squeezes bunctuated by boom/bust as new goldfield strikes occurred and the supply suddenly shot up (California, Yukon, Victoria, etc just to look at the mid-late 1800s).

You end up with a liquidity trap in the amount of money doesn’t increase/decrease roughly in proportion to the size of economic activity. Fortunately “roughly” as it’s hard to measure.

> Are there any real reasons to use one framework over the other?

1. Programming language ecosystem/Framework ecosystem/Developer support/Tutorials/Books

2. Framework maturity - has it been around for a while to have gone through a development

3. Ease of finding developers in the future

4. Ongoing support and development - has the required support to address security concerns, bugs and issues.

5. Most importantly - which one are you most comfortable with.

Just my humble opinion :-)

Hope it helps!
While I don't disagree, there might be many other issues:

- Frameworks and tools are almost always ill-fitting. You have many features you don't need, you lack many features you need. You have dependencies you don't want, code that you don't know, models that might not match your own (and might not be explained well enough, or might not even be consistent with themselves anyway).

- Frameworks and tools are often leaky. They don't solve problems perfectly anyway. They substitute the problem of having to develop a custom solution to the problem with having to figure out how to use the tool effectively, plus any problems derived of the shortcomings of the tool itself, which are often harder to solve on a tool you didn't develop yourself. The better you want to do something, the more disappointed you become with leaky solutions. And other people leaks are far more uncomfortable than your own leaks.

- Some people just want to have control and know what they are doing, even if they need to put much more work on it. Not productive, but more consistent.

- Writing your own tools deepens your understanding of the landscape. This is particularly significant in a world where we have hundreds of frameworks and tools, but very few coherent explanations of the context they work on and the problems they really try to solve. We have reached the point where if someone wants to make a non-trivial website, we tell them to learn React instead of sending them to learn how the internet and websites work so they can choose a tool for their needs afterwards. And this piles up and giving coherent explanations of any landscape becomes harder because no landscape is coherent anymore.

- Related to the previous, there's a certain trend that emerges where the more dependent we become on frameworks and tools, the more the problems in a given scenario are ignored or solved by adding more abstration layers and fancier features on tools, instead of working on the root underlying issues, and the problems become fuzzier. Working on the actual problems by yourself helps you see how much cruft and dirt there is behind even well established technologies... and some of us are masochists and want to know about all that sh*t, because if it remains hidden there's little chance to fix it.
I don't get the "surprise factor". It seems a bit condescending, and that "born barbarian" part was completely off.

Don't judge people by their upbringing or profession, or their looks, it's just dumb.

Since this is HN, I get the same impression when I read YC partners 'words of wisdom' on selecting for particular "type" of founder, ideally a Zuck clone, typically determined after 5 min meeting which reinforces existing biases, and rationalized by deep dive into pseudo-psychology of resourcefulness.

Here is an advice for future YC disruptor - select your founders batch without meeting them to overcome your own psychology and irrational biases. Better yet, automate it.
Can you detail exactly what "nothing works" on Windows for you?

I know it's still a fashionable meme on HN to hate Windows and Microsoft for telemetry and Candy Crush, but saying nothing works is a bit of an exaggeration at this point.

Using both Windows 10 and Linux at home and work I can say that while linux is the de facto OS for the server/cloud/embedded system, Windows 10 is the rock solid go-to for the laptop/gaming station, especially on laptops with nvidia cards where very few linux distros and desktop environments would not shit the bed on, especially with thunderbolt docks, with multiple displays and various scaling. Authentication via fingerprint readers or IR-cameras on Linux? Good luck with that.

Granted, that's not linux's fault that driver support from hardware vendors is absolute dog shit, but as a user/employee/consumer I'm gonna use whatever just-works™ to get my work/entertainment needs fulfilled with minimal friction, and at this point, outside the Apple ecosystem, Windows 10 has the best driver support by hardware vendors by a long shot with linux sadly still relying on reverse engineered drivers by the community or binary blobs which are ignored by the FLOSS community, which turns linux into this dumpster fire on the more "fancy" laptops that use anything more than an intel chip with integrated graphics that are nothing more than ssh terminals.

That analogy only stretches so far.

I'd much rather inherit a project that contains 'sprintf("%010d", i)', or equivalent, than one with yet another dependency. Especially when repeated a thousand times over the course on an entire project.

Every dependency is one that I must understand all the possible return types, failure modes, and upgrade paths. Every function is one that I must read. The needle must be quite clearly on the benefits side in order to be worth it.

Connecting teams via curated virtual activities
Completely agree.

Some of the tools for interpretability can be useful (particularly for debugging), but I think the broader idea that we always need to be able to understand our own models is basically wrong.

For example, if you want AlphaGo to explain why it made a particular Go move, what kind of an explanation is possible? In many cases the only explanation may be that the move leads to a higher probability of a win. There simply may not be a more “compressed” or “high level” answer. Even human Go players often cannot explain why they choose particular moves, other than references to shape and feel, which is basically another way of saying their evaluation of the move leads to a higher win probability. There are a lot of domains where we may just have to accept that that _is_ the explaination.

To zoom out a bit, our greatest discoveries have historically been about finding the rare places where the universe is computationally compressible. Boiling a kettle is almost unimaginably complex to describe in terms of the interaction of elementary particles. But you can make very good predictions about that process using an equation that fits on a cocktail napkin. There may be other areas in which the universe is compressible only to a lesser extent. The parameters of AlphaGo are vanishingly small compared to the size of the Go game tree, but are very large compared to the equation we can use to predict the kettle. There may be many problems where the best descriptions lie in this intermediate domain, a domain which we have never really had access to before (except via biological brains).

So if learned models give us access to some truths without access to their (human intelligible) explanations, I think we need to just embrace that. If you allow yourself a new way of seeing, you can see new things.
Does this have runtime overhead when not printing stack traces? I imagine some optimizations might not be do-able if you need to keep around all this data in case it needs to be shown, but perhaps pythons optimizations aren't that advanced...

No, the flagging works well for unsupported opinions (usually with quite bad discourse included) being pushed, if you feel you were flagged wrongly you can always go check with the mod team and explain why you believe your behaviour shouldn't have been flagged.

Government Cryptocurrency: A Co-Opt or a Compromise
>Imagine paying 30% more for software on your computer

I would argue that prices are already as high as the market can bear so that raising prices would not raise total revenue. Instead you would have to imagine publishers making much less in profit, which would still be bad since less people would be inclined to make commercial software.
Honestly your best bet would be to just go to individual university courses if you don't want a full degree. Alternatively just follow along public courses. A lot of the "nonsense scribbles" often only make sense if there is an actual human talking about them.

It seems that they got fucked by mental illness, not by "a system". Not being helped is not the same as "getting fucked".
This is quite rant-ish. There is a class struggle, there is a rich powerful few who can use their leverages to affect millions of people that have almost no voice. What is your point?

For someone complaining about divisiness you seem to be quite deep down into the rabbit hole.
See, that's the kind of thing I've never understood - how could it not be connected? Race has been historically mostly a geographic thing. You'd see Asian people in Asia, African people in Africa, etc. Anyone else had to have immigrated, or is the child of an immigrant however many generations ago. Culture is also very geographic. Immigrants tend to bring their culture with them (which is a good thing!) and parents usually want to raise their children at least partially in their culture.

So what am I missing?
I found it dense and, when the cliches were stripped out, terse, but I liked that: got right to the point.
Mega does client side e2e encryption (or at least they claim to), yet their web interface still shows thumbnails...

I'd guess they implement it by having the client upload an encrypted version of both the original image and a thumbnail, and then decrypting the thumbnails on the client at display time. Javascript has reasonably performant crypto primitives now, so it's very doable to download data from a server, decrypt it with a client side key, and display it.

If mega can do this, it's a shame other services don't.

Who's fact checking the fact checkers – a case in point re Covid
Here's is a breakdown of some of the issues that are claimed to be fraud relating to covid 19:

https://off-guardian.org/2020/11/17/covid19-evidence-of-global-fraud/

And here is a fact check of fraud claims by USAToday found as FALSE:

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/10/08/fact-check-post-claiming-covid-19-fraud-offers-no-evidence/3481311001/

Regardless of the claims, what is the fact checking process?

Firstly, if you read through the 'Fact Check' you will see this is NOT rigorous. USAToday state the claim, and then provide a official response to counter it. But the official response is what is being brought into question! It's literally accepting the final word from the defendant.

Secondly, USAToday chooses a poor example of the 'fraud claims' info on Facebook to debunk. Because of that, it can say that there is no info as to how there is fraud on the tests, that the author didn't respond to requests, etc. So, the fact check article does not even need to address the fraud claims.

By purposely selecting poor material, USAToday do not need to look into any fraud details. The can say 'no fraud' without explaining why.

But even so, this so called 'Independent Fact Check' is then used by Facebook, and presumably others, in order to warn people off the content.

Frankly, the process is a shambles. Information is presented to Facebook that questions the official story. Facebook ask a media expert (USAToday) to fact-check it. USAToday ask the officials who are being accused in the information for the final word. The information is labelled as FALSE.

This is a closed loop, and has nothing to do with getting to the truth.

As Orwell said in 1984: "Whatever the Party holds to be truth is truth."
