>Perhaps UBI shouldn’t be about redistribution of wealth money through taxation but nationalization of commons or resources to create a stream of revenue to fund UBI

You suggestion is taxing 100% of the profits of these companies. This is partially what China is doing and how China is going to "walk its way towards Socialism". But this is not how it works here. If I have money, I want that it makes money and I do not want to work for it. These people are in power and these people will never allow a full taxation, because then they would need to work.

It's a weird thing about
our recall bias that this thread hasn't mentioned any of the mass shootings that have taken place in recent memory. A few that come to mind are the shootings at the Charleston church, the Tree of Life Synagogue, El Paso, and the Pulse Nightclub. None reached the scale of 9/11 but there's been a parade of horrors since 9/11.
I don’t have all the answers. But I do know a few things.

Eight character passwords are not okay. Any password that a human can generate on their own, and can remember on their own, is simple enough that it can probably be easily guessed by attackers. Use a good password manager and keep the passwords randomly generated, and as long as the remote system will allow. Protect the password to the password manager with good 2FA, like a hardware token.

As for 2FA, do not use SMS. IMO, that makes things weaker than not having 2FA at all. Use a hardware token instead. Yubikey makes some nice ones, but they’re not the only solution on the market. Do your homework.

Individual passwords for sites should also be protected by 2FA with a hardware token, where that is available. Of course, you’ll need to have a backup hardware token, and a solution for use in emergencies when the hardware tokens are not available at all. Work this out in advance, before you need it.

And practice your backups. Like it or not, when the time comes, you will operate as you have practiced, and if you haven’t practiced, then you won’t operate very well.
I agree we should have closed shops after this didn't work and then schools if that still hadn't worked. But they didn't course correct for 4 weeks where it was obviously not working.

But the people I know kept to the private rules as much or as little as during the first lockdown, which seemed to work despite keeping public transport open. Which would enable similar transmissions as shops and schools.
The DSLinux project runs in 4MB with no MMU as well. They do recommend using the +4MB RAM expansions cards to use the graphical environment, but it's not a a requirement.

IIRC, there used to be a GBALinux as well. That's what, 1/8th of the memory?

That this port is OOM-ing is just it being buggy.
The lockdown started on 16th December right? Shouldn't the effect become visible after 2 or 3 weeks? The current numbers are the outcome of the pre-lockdown rules?
“ Why would an authoritarian control of information lead to only bad information getting out?”

That’s the point: there is no bad information coming out of China, it’s always “positive,” like it was written by a PR team. No nation is perfect, but China works very hard so that nothing comes out of the country that is negative. By manipulating the news so that nothing is ever negative, you destroy all confidence in the accuracy of that reporting.

If China was serious about being a world power, worthy of respect, they wouldn’t work so hard to hide all the negative, censor, and punish people who speak the truth.
Thanks for this,

Do you happen to have any resources for learning more about API design in the way you described it? I'm really interested to learn more.

Your comment was very insightful. I used to think somewhat along those lines when it came to designing an API. My thought was that and endpoint was to represent an action the user could perform, and it was none of their business how that was implemented. But I've recently been enlisted in a project to rewrite a whole API (admittedly not a good one at all) where it was decided to use GraphQL. The rationale was "some of our endpoints return enormous objects. Not all of the data is needed every time the client calls that endpoint. Let's implement a way to let the client only ask for the data it needs". It sounded great, but I'm thinking now it might not be all gold as it was presented to me.
I don't think there's anything that's fundamentally impossible (or even conceptually very hard) to solve, it's just that most of the times you're solving the interop problem with JNI/JNA. The opposite route is massively more complicated to implement and nobody wants to dump their time into that. IIRC, as a matter of fact, there are many amateurish level C->JVM compilers but nothing that you'd be comfortable working with on a daily basis.

I guess it boils down to "yeah but why".

> 25 MBit/s is 25 Mbit/s there is no difference in service between a community ISP and a commercial/public company ISP except the price

No difference except the price, really? So, you don't think any of the following are differences?

* What the provider is permitted to do with your data

* Whether there is a soft cap on usage before throttling begins

* How aggressively they do traffic shaping

* What you're allowed or not allowed to do as per the terms of service (e.g. run a server)

and so on.

It seems like you're hand-waving away a ton of stuff and dismissing it as unimportant.
I watched a hitman on death row get interviewed by a psychiatrist who wanted to know why he was the way he was. The psychiatrist explained to him that he had this trait (felt no pain, felt no anxiety, etc). He explained it's common in people with dangerous careers. He explained that people with this trait who grow up in nurturing homes tend to come out ok and usually work dangerous roles. This hitman grew up in an abusive home and that coupled with this trait was what shaped him into what he became.
I guess for people who aren't sure yet if they need/want what you offer, prizing (at least in a magnitude) is part of the decision whether they should invest more time researching.

So either:

- put a ballpark prize on it (even something vague like "from X$ to Y$ depending on application, talk to sales" would work

- if that isn't what you want, you need to make extra sure that people want your product so hard they are willing to jump through your hoops. For that to be true they have to be sure the thing you offer solves problems worth solving in a way they want it to be solved.
They way OTC medications are packaged and marketed drives me bonkers. I take a sleeping pill every once in a while. I was at the store once comparing two boxes of pills. One was marked "Sleep Aid", and was $8 or so. The allergy medication nearby was the same count, same dosage, and only $5.

They were both diphenhydramine HCL, 25mg. Both tablets. The only differences were the labels, the pill colors (blue for ZZZZ, pink for allergy), and the price.

And the other benefit to stocking single-drug medications is more flexibility. I imagine some hapless guy whose has pain in the morning, but sees only "Advil PM" in the medicine cabinet.

If I need Advil PM, I'll take a regular ibuprofen and a regular diphenhydramine.

It's only a matter of time before someone as unscrupulous as ClearviewAI develops a phrenology tool for identifying psychological disturbances based on "crazy eyes", which will be used extensively by state security services to manufacture suspicion where none is warranted. False positives are a feature not a bug. See, e.g. drug sniffing dogs and [1].

I remember looking into this a while ago in quite a bit of detail: https://www.engadget.com/2010-05-04-know-your-rights-h-264-p... (there's plenty of other links to this).

Long story short, MPEG LA owns some patents that relate to h264/h265, and you need to pay them A LOT of $ in order to use these codecs. Using ffmpeg will not devoid you of that.

Also, even somewhere on the ffmpeg page, when I last read it, it will say something more in the lines of "we're not lawyers, so take this with a grain of salt".

> a number of programs will externally fetch FFmpeg and just interop with the libraries or FFmpeg app.

As far as I know unless they are actually free, they could end up being sued by MPEG LA. I remember at some point that's what I wanted to do - just download and use ffmpeg as an exe. But if I read stuff correctly, I do think I'm not allowed to do that - in other words you (as an application) are allowed to open a web browser to the link, but it's the user who needs to do the actual download and install.

----------

So all in all, after doing quite a bit of research, seeing how vague the licensing from MPEGLA is and all that, I started looking for alternatives. I found one (from Microsoft), and that's what I'm using. At this point, it satisfies most of my needs (even though I had to do lot of optimizations on top of it) -- in case this won't hold true in the future, I may revisit the whole ffmpeg mambo-jambo :D

If the front-line medical professionals don’t want to receive what they feel is an experimental vaccine, then I don’t think they should be forced to take it. It’s their lives on the line, after all.

But they should have the choice.

But I don’t think the current vaccines that we’re talking about are in the experimental phase anymore.

And at some point, if the medical personnel want to be anti-vaxxers, then they need to be aware that their continued employment must be predicated on their being vaccinated. It does have to become mandatory for them, at some point.

I've been doing something vaguely similar, largely out of laziness, for the past few years. My ISP's router (largely) retains its default settings, then my main router/firewall[1] sits behind that in a double-NAT configuration (treating the ISP router as being on the WAN side). Works well enough in practice - it's never caused me any issues in the ten or so years I've been doing it (port forwarding becomes a two-step process, but I _very_ rarely need to do that, so it's a non-issue for me).

Crystal is the closest I've seen to match that. It's type inference is the most robust I've seen, you can write it almost like Ruby and still get full static type checking. I prefer to still use annotations fairly often with it though.

The trade off for that powerful type inference is a slow compiler.

I'm from the UK but while I was doing my PhD I spent the equivalent of US$30-40 a week on food. It's very easy, vegetables and staple carbohydrates - pasta, rice and potatoes - are all inexpensive, and I'm a vegetarian so I bought pulses, beans, eggs, soy and nuts for protein. You just buy what you strictly need, and nothing more. It does come at the expense of some enjoyment, but I still spend no more than US$50 a week now - even though I don't really have to think about the cost of my groceries anymore. US$150 seems high to me, I'd struggle to spend that much with my partner if I tried?

It is even easier to cause it to kids and consequences can be serious. It is responsible for parents to go by what is recommended for kids.
I have been following genode since ~4 years and am surprised this hasn't caught on more.

(from https://genode.org/documentation/general-overview/index)

== Mastering complexity through application-specific trusted computing bases

> Because software complexity correlates with the likelihood for bugs, having security-sensitive functionality depending on high-complexity software is risky. The term trusted_computing_base (TCB) was coined to describe the amount of code that must not be compromised to uphold security. In addition to the code of the sensitive application, the TCB comprises each system component that has direct or indirect control over the execution of the application (affecting availability and integrity) or that can access the processed information (affecting confidentiality and integrity). On monolithic OSes, the TCB complexity can be regarded as a global system property because it is dominated by the complexity of the kernel and the privileged processes, which are essentially the same for each concurrently executed application. On Genode, the amount of security-critical code can largely differ for each application depending on the position of the application within Genode's process tree and the used services. To illustrate the difference, an email-signing application executed on Linux has to rely on a TCB complexity of millions of lines of code (LOC). Most of the code, however, does not provide functionality required to perform the actual cryptographic function of the signing application. Still, the credentials of the user are exposed to an overly complex TCB including the network stack, device drivers, and file systems. In contrast, Genode allows the cryptographic function to be executed with a specific TCB that consists only of components that are needed to perform the signing function. For the signing application, the TCB would contain the microkernel (20 KLOC), the Genode OS framework (10 KLOC), a minimally-complex GUI (2 KLOC), and the signing application (15 KLOC). These components stack up to a complexity of less than 50,000 LOC.

> Genode tailors the trusted computing base for each application individually. The figure on the right illustrates the TCB of the yellow marked process. Naturally, it contains the hierarchy of parents and those processes that provide services used by the application (the left component at the third level).
Innovation is also hampered when inventors are not sufficiently compensated for the broad social value they create with a new invention. When anyone is allowed to copy a new invention instantly, there is not enough incentive to innovate. A good patent system must strike a balance between these two forces.

Perhaps the RV was stolen from an American.
There is a documentary about this as well (https://youtu.be/XdNJ0JAwT7I), which I thought was fascinating. I learned from this and one other (I’ve forgotten the name) that the salmon likely suffer far less from overfishing than most people believe. Perhaps what happened is the primary population pressures occurred until fishing pressure became noticeable. At that point people pointed their fingers to the most obvious cause of salmon deaths and missed the ones we’re only recently becoming more broadly aware of.

Not to say fishing doesn’t make a difference. It’s just not the only problem. Fish farm research was suppressed by the Canadian government which showed that the farms were spreading vast amounts of disease very consistently, for example. One disease acted so quickly that the fish would die before they could spawn. Fortunately the research surfaced eventually and farms are largely being shut down, but these farms have been operating for decades.

It’s a very complex and frightening problem. I’m glad we’re making progress in understanding it better.

Take that number and at minimum ADD the cows to it. It's not like they feed of thin air while they live.

In addition to that, every step up the food chain requires 10x the amount of energy so for every kg of beef produced you need equivalent of 10kg plants just to raise the cows. It's not like the cows feed freely in the grass and carefully avoid stomping on insects all the time, this is often also harvested with machines killing rodents exactly the same way, just multiplied by 10x.

Meat eater myself here, occasionally and in moderation, but at least i'm not making up nonsense about rodents to feel better for myself.

Edit: To add some data into the discussion, see https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/i2vx78/the... for example. It shows more than 10x land usage for cattle and even more for water and energy, sources and their bias discussed in the comments over there. There is also some interesting links stating that purely grass fed beef can only provide half the cattle on same unit of land.

> prevent users from install unapproved software

While they could prevent it, that's not how. The software is never "installed". It's only unzipped to scoops install directory (usually home/scoop/...)

Then it adds the install directory to the PATH and it's done. The copied executables have never been marked as unknown by windows in my experience.

Admins could of course lock down systems to only allow executables with specific hashedls which are manually whitelisted by the admins, but just disallowing installs won't help at all

Disallowing powershell or scripting altogether makes it impossible to use as well.
