You could then buy it second hand no? Buying second hand is the best possible outcome from the environmental perspective. One of the downsides is that there’s often no warranty. This site could help alleviate that because you can pick out the products less likely to need that warranty in the first place.
I was also in the IT field before the dot com bubble burst. You're right that he's done a lot to enable startups, but there were other options before AWS came around. Rackspace, Linode, etc.

But I will say this: AWS really has done a lot of good to improve security in software. Their cloud is massive and the security options they provide are great. They also simplify many otherwise complex things for many people, but I disagree that Bezos deserves every single penny of his fortune.

He doesn't pay enough in tax. The loophole of never paying tax if you don't sell your shares is stupid. He gets to do all the cool billionaire things like building space rockets, etc. And meanwhile people with conditions where going to the loo take longer (PTSD, IBS, ETC) are in pain holding their bladders all day because they can't afford to lose their job because they have desperate families to feed and clothe.

Largely the reason so few businesses are cooperatives is because if you are an active participant in the founding of a business its in your own self interest to retain as much power over it as possible

There is no reason a software company couldn’t operate like a law firm or architecture firm with “partners”. It just doesn’t because software developers are too focused to the technical aspects and ignore the bigger picture.

Yes, that's true, but it ignores many factors in the real world.

Given a calorie rich diet your body can decide to pass it in your poop or absorb it.

Given a fixed normal diet your body can decide to increase metabolism and decrease weight or decrease metabolism and increase weight.

People, even in the same occupations, like say a mail man that delivers mail on food is on average much heavier than in decades past.

"music" is also a very broad term. There is complex music you don't even grasp without paying attention and there is music that is designed to get your attention and start dancing.

What I like about the current frontpage is that it's a page. I can very quickly scan through the headlines for something that sounds interesting, much quicker than if I had to scroll. Also, and I cannot explain just why, but somehow it's easier on my short term memory to have everything in front of me at once.

> Our use of many nonrenewable resources has peaked and gone down as population has gone up.

Our use, or the growth rate of use? It's good when the latter goes down, but we're not out of the woods as long as it stays > 1.

> Actually it’s more likely to be the opposite - growth is more likely to be in services and moving to electricity, which is renewable.

Most services have consumables, and electrification of everything is very production-intensive. And while digital services may be growing faster than manufacturing these days, manufacturing is still growing.

Yes, in theory, we can have economic growth without commensurate manufacturing growth, but I think we're still couple abstraction layers short in our economy before we could think about running it completely on imaginary things.
Anecdotal data - as a Sardinia native, we do eat seafood, but to be honest around me at least that's at most a once a week practice. My grandpas, which lived to 96, 98 and 101, didn't eat much fish either. Lots of veggies though. One of my grandfathers died young due to a heart condition.
All of them were regularly checking their health and doing regular blood tests. I can confirm we don't see getting tested as being "obsessed with our health" but as a good (and for many, not very pleasurable) practice, part of the "preventing an illness is better than curing it" philosophy. Having cheap/free healthcare also helps.
I beg to differ. What is considered as normal in some cultures, can be considered offensive in other cultures. It's not because those people lack empathy.
It’s because opinions are not equal to science and suggesting your opinion without massive corroborating evidence isn’t going to fly here. It’s the same as suggesting climate change isn’t real and COVID is just like flu... these things are made up, not researched science.

I was trying to state it delicately. If you use AR/bands to cause or what could be deemed to be insurrection/rebellion/riot then that activity would be unlawful (whether AR was involved or not).

As AR is a communications medium, and given its intrinsic nature in that it can bypass the normal/usual means that the State has to shut communications down - at least in the short term - the State has concerns (even if unwarranted - as it's still a potential threat).

From the very outset in the early days of radio, there were two reasons for licencing radio transmitters/operators, one was to control interference and the other was fear by governments that information could leave a country's borders without the government's knowledge or its ability to stop it, hence strict licensing.

In the early 1900s governments were truly paranoid that foreign agents etc. could use radio for war or insurrection etc. It was a very big deal. (Note the shutdown of AR during WWII for similar reasons.)

Governments everywhere still worry about this. Note the rules around mobile phones which have similar issues. The international mobile standards make it compulsory that phones send IMEI and serial numbers to cells for ID etc. to ensure that the communications can be tracked/IDed.

Thus I'm not a bit surprised that the FCC issued this warning given the current political unrest.

Indeed.

Really the only difference between feudalism and capitalism is the latter’s ability/freedom to fail. Shitty hierarchical structures are replaced by newly emerging better hierarchical structures. Serfs migrate easily.

All this is basically a consequence of companies & people not being defined by / tied to land (as serfdoms were - basically farms). Rising from agrarian to industrial society is what enabled this.
The figures in the paper are for the carbon footprint of the bitcoin Blockchain electricity consumption at the primary energy level, while the Falcon 9 figures you give are just launch emissions from the propellant. So not exactly fully comparable. And also this omits in both case two other elements needed to do a proper comparison: whole life cycle carbon emission, including hardware manufacturing and development time, and induced footprint of the usage (what it replaces and what is also purely new usage consumption). Without these figures, it is difficult to compare them.

But just as a reminder, the figure quoted in the paper for bitcoin is 10,000 times the yearly figure we have for Falcon 9.

Sure, I agree that RPs should not use attestation in most cases. (Enterprise use—where the company has issued specific hardware to clients—is an obvious exception.)

Vanguard, for example, only trusts Yubico keys, and it's a pain in the ass.

That said, your complaint about Secure Enclave/Keystore trust doesn't make sense to me. Is there an architecture with on-device authenticators where you don't have to trust the device manufacturer? The use of SE/Keystore is a red herring here, no?
Problem then is: the believers of lies simply do not trust (an certain topics at least) the unbiased sources.

I've been thinking about augmenting social networks with some measure of trust (eg. express that I trust my uncle 90% when it comes to car repairs but 5% when it comes to vaccines). But then eventually, we'll see N groups again. Nothing new there.

But maybe by expressing trust(-per-topic) new misinformation will spread less quickly?

It's effectively porting BTC to Ethereum, given the value of the BTC can be utilized on Ethereum by the tokenized claim on BTC.

And there are wrapped BTC tokens on Ethereum that utilize cryptoeconomic incentives instead of the reputation of a custodian to guarantee redeemability for BTC: renBTC and tBTC.

WBTC was just the first to launch so has the largest market cap. It's also possible that WBTC's reliance on a trusted third party is perceived as less risky than reliance on novel cryptoeconomic incentive schemes.

> what actually notifies Safari that an extension is available and whether it's updated?

Since extensions are made available via app extensions, it is:

- installation of an app from the app store

- first run of an app which is not from the app store

This is actually the big reason why they require you to use apps - all system customizations (device drivers, web extensions, photo plugins, fonts, etc) are supported with an application life cycle, and support appstore-style review and updates.

I haven't done enough development of safari app extensions in particular to fully understand how _live_ updates work. I typically just enabled the extension with Safari Tech Preview as the only extension, loaded on a test page, and would restart. There may well be logic now to do a page refresh when an enabled extension is updated, however.

> With these apps it doesn't even seem like the app itself is doing any work - there's no code in there to for example connect to an internal socket or do some IPC to notify the browser and supply it with extension files

The app extension has a global JS file loaded, and the safari.extension object allows one to send IPC to the corresponding native Mac app. This is (for example) how 1Password and other password managers integrate with the native password store.

The native app is a pretty good place to put all the configuration options for your extension, which may eliminate the need to surface browser-bar buttons and the like.

(FWIW: my Safari extension was a prototype that was abandoned because Safari didn't surface enough HTTP request/response access in their old API. I haven't checked yet if their Web Extension API surface includes what I needed.)
I agree with that, but then with that the case, it seems like madness that Bitcoin has any value at all.

I thought about your human empathy v culture remark. It is true, empathy is a human trait, however, each culture and society have unique mores of their own. These idiosyncrasies will miss, or emphasize, various aspects of personality en masse, to some extent; evidently, there are different cultures. So maybe in this case, those belly pokers have been indoctrinated to be less empathetic towards what they see as overweight.

It’s not like the people parroting them have the impetuous to check though, it’s much easier and more comfortable to drone on about “YouTube blocking a video about the 10 commandments” over and over until it becomes your reality, where you’re persecuted.
In recent history I have worked a lot with Golang and also encountered the tendency towards globals being the recommended path.

Specifically, I encountered it with logging, frameworks( Gin ), and DBs. It is interesting to me that you called out these three things specifically having encountered them all myself.

I agree also that it is a result of having poor DI support from the language.

I also like your point about PHP users using Golang. The approach Golang uses towards serving web content is very similar to me to how initial PHP frameworks did it.

Go tends to make it easy to setup concurrent things occurring, and so I've found myself spending a fair amount of time speculating on what is thread safe and what isn't.

No matter how much I see it I still do a double take when I see globals in Go modules. Seems like a bad practice to me.

Oh in my home country (Russia) tanks once get "democracy" into the country.

I couldn't see much difference between anti democratic and anti socialistic (both are anti-"you") and both a violent. While no one will claim that was a bad thing.

In the case of capitol siege they followed the orders their leader. This is not always that bad: unlocking people to do violent things are half of the issue too. You can dream about killing someone, thinking about suicide or whatever - difference is if it will lead to action. Unlocking people to attack capitol or commit suicide are also a crime and in both cases target is not capable to think clearly. Why we treat two cases differently?

Is it really needed to go as far as ditching dynamic linking and its benefits? Export only symbols intended to be called from outside, with a prefix, problem solved.

From TFA:

> This is a great opportunity to remind everyone: don’t use generic function names like this in your shared libraries, at least not in your exported symbols! You could easily run into a situation similar to this one. In my opinion, prefixes are definitely a good idea for your library’s exported symbols. In this case, both libusbmuxd and Samba were breaking that guideline.

> (...) dynamic libraries on Linux export all symbols by default unless you specify otherwise.

> libusbmuxd already fixed this on their end quite a while ago — they now only export functions intended to be public, which have a usbmuxd_ or libusbmuxd_ prefix
The dynamic linker used by macOS (and derivatives) solves this problem using "two-level namespacing":

I think capitalism works. That's how apple does it.

That said, I was attracted to computers since an early age because it's fun to make them do things.

But I think apple's ecosystem takes the MOST EFFORT of any of them to actually do anything.

For example, on linux there are probably 100 scripting languages that can do fine-grained automation of just about anything you want to do.

With apple.. ugh. It's either applescript, or you're into xcode and a compiler and a license agreement and high complexity and lots of only-apple-does-it-this-way.

Here's a simple one: how do you have two icons in the dock - one to open an 80x25 terminal window, one to open a 140x50 terminal window. This takes way too much energy to automate.

You can do it in applescript, but it's such a horrible language.

tell process "Terminal" to click menu bar 1's menu bar item "Window" menu 1's menu item "Open Window Group"'s menu 1's menu item "group1"

I know there are shell scripts and python, but apple treats them like the jackling mansion - no gui, cmdline is non-essential, everything is rotting.

Sodium if ingested would very quickly kill you if the massive explosions in your mouth didn't hinder the ability to ingest it.

Chloride is also deadly in high enough concentrations (or rather, in non-trace concentrations), but we also use low amounts of it in pool cleaners.

Apple should also remove WhatsApp and iMessages since they can be used by undesirable groups to coordinate their efforts.
Plus, definitely Jitsi, and Gmail too. All these apps are dangerous!

Actually, just removing the keyboard and microphone would be safest, it keeps any terrorist from inputting any dangerous message at all.
I think the reason is that if you pick the most likely move for a 1100 player on every move, they would be a 1600 player.

Let’s say you accidentally leave a pawn hanging and 90% of 1100 players would spot it, and 10% of the time they miss it. In this engine, as the 90% is the most likely move it spots it 100% of the time.

So this example shows that if you pick the most likely move for a 1100 player every move, you end up scoring better than a 1100 player. Of course it works the other way too on spotting brilliant moves that others miss, but I guess at 1100 level play there are more opportunities to mess up!
