It's almost like you didn't even read the summary of the book this thread is highlighting.

> The empire these nomads build is rapacious; more than once, the Lakota are forced to move westward because they have looted the neighboring tribes out of existence and are therefore out of farmed food.

> The various poxes overturn intra-native relations: at various points on their journey, the Lakota narrowly dodge or are less brutally affected by diseases that ravage the tribes already present in the land, making conquest that much easier.

The Lakota, as many other native tribes, ended up exterminating other groups in just the centuries we've documented. This seems to be the general pattern of every culture on Earth - Europeans, Native Americans, Africans, etc.

In fact, if there's a main point one should derive from the Native Americans' story, it'd include being very wary of welcoming foreign peoples onto your lands, even if it's just for trade. Diversity did NOT make the Lakota stronger (especially when it carried Smallpox, liquor, etc).

It is preventing a privacy advocacy group in the W3C from gaining additional influence. I think that's a pretty clear hit to web privacy.

Reminds me of the time when a Pope had a former (and formerly living) Pope exhumed and his corpse put on trial[0], retroactively nullified his papacy, then had him reburied in a pauper's grave from which he was dug up again and then thrown into a river.

The papacy was hardcore back then.

This comment chain is seriously confusing, did you or any of these other people even read the article: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2021/01/08/we-need-more-than-d...

The article is perhaps poorly titled, and the modern age headline-skimmers will take it at face value. The article isn't calling for more extreme action or censorship... It's saying that deplatforming isn't the solution and what we should do is have transparency of advertisers & algorithms and support / fund research into studies on disinformation. I'm not sure how anyone can disagree with the substance of the article.

Ok, so no political issues... Still waiting on the privacy argument.
They (the co-founder Francesco Patarnello to be precise) were really wonderful to speak with & work with. They seem to have done a lot to grow the entrepreneurship & developer ecosystem in Italy, and are growing fast enough to need to hire from abroad now. They also have a really high bar for who they hire. Their process starts off with a logic test (nothing related to coding) which takes more than a day to complete.

(Curious about that by the way, since we have only seen one other company - Klarna - start with a logic test. Do you know if this is common? Is it an effective screening approach? In the USA people are sometimes wary of how standardized tests of this type may impact untraditional candidates in particular)

But back to your point - that name issue is really disappointing. We'll have to put some more thought into it but my first reaction is to do a little more polling to see how widespread this association is in our primary markets (MENA and countries that do a lot of hiring of software engineers, so mainly USA, Germany, Poland, Sweden, UK, Canada, Australia, etc)
Political theorists always imagine themselves running the show; What endlessly amuses me about our enlightened overlords is that, at least in America, they seem to espouse democracy and then get fussy whenever the results are not what they desired.
Yes boolean function, but wouldn't that have to be a synchronous function, one that the component doing the decision making calls?

I understand that there can be loops in the dataflow and feedback can alter the processing logic of a component at some point in the future - since processing is async, the alteration can only happen in the future.

But when a component needs to make a decision, not alter its processing logic but simply make a choice, can it somehow 'ask a question" from some other component which is part of the data-flow, before it it decide which branch of the data-flow to send data to?

My question is simply is it possible and/or practical to do general programming with only (asynchronous) dataflow between the components/functions/units-of-computation?

Or do we need both synchronous and asynchronous components/functions/agents etc. ?
Henri Cartier-Bresson is a great counter example: often lively, fun and showing captured movement rather than stillness and pathos.

Worth a look as the antidote to the OP.
People have rich sets of conflicts. Many of them don't fit into a political narrative. But politics is a convenient dividing line that exists, to people try to fit new information to the model they understand.

Trying to fit attitudes towards zoning and development into a broader political philosophy seems unproductive. "NIMBY" itself has become an insult, rather than any sort of productive and well defined word. Is historical preservation of a building that prevents further development related to political philosophy? Is zoning and capacity planning indicating a lack of infrastructure for a certain number of new people in a given area a political philosophy? Is a rich person deciding they don't want their scenic view disrupted by a new large building or wind farm related to a political philosophy? Ecologists objecting to a new suburban development because it disrupts wildlife? Do they even have consistent motivations? Are they all NIMBYism?

My point is that NIMBYism is a word that makes people stupider immediately. It is a nam shub to stop critical thinking on a varied, unrelated issues and creates a binary divide where one does not really exist.
Did you interact with them at all? How was that? My arachnophobic morbid curiosity has reached a new level just now
Not sure if small but less work (for less money, I'm fine with that).
The article speaks in generalities and in doing so ignores the concrete impacts of development on people, and loses track of the core underlying forces that explain the real and reasonable reasons why progressives may oppose new housing.

What is often happening here is that low income progressives in old rent controlled housing are literally being faced with being evicted and displaced for new developments that they cannot afford.

It should be no wonder why someone would oppose being thrown out of their home, or why a project kitty corner to them would bring fears that "they're next."

The underlying problem is that the neighbourhoods that developers are seeking to build in are ones with cheap land, which not coincidentally is where the most working class, poor and most vulnerable people live.

If we saw developers going to rich low density mansion districts to redevelop into apartments you certainly wouldn't see "Left-NIMBYs" complaining! Of course this never happens.

So you have the Left YIMBYs that can afford these new market priced condos upset and wondering why low income progressives won't roll over and let themselves evicted. Maybe wealthy left YIMBYs should focus their activism on redeveloping other areas of cities that wouldn't harm the working class and poor?

Based on other comments in here, it doesn't appear to obfuscate what blocks of data are being requested. Its probably safest to assume queries can probably be inferred from access patterns.
If it truly becomes an issue, W3C will simply cease to be relevant and a new group will take its place.
I don't think the "econ 101" model here actually has much to say about how market rates increase the productivity of renters. It's true that they will probably have to pay more rent, but it's not clear to me they will do so by being more productive. It could be they do so by just buying less from their local corner store, going out to drink less at the local bar, and skipping out on fancy dinners.The only thing the econ 101 model is says is that the landlords will keep commanding higher prices as long as demand outrstrips supply. And the price of housing near your job and friends is very inelastic, building up in a limited landmass is expensive to do right, so supply is going to have a hard time keeping up.

I guess the case in the negative is my experience, where every largest metro area I have been in has implemented rent control, often after large rent shocks.
Not a big fan of censorship myself.
> “Amplify factual voices” just sounds like more echo chamber bullshit

No, it doesn't. Facts, which are a subset of universal truths, need to clearly outweigh falsehood. For example, you'd not find schools teach conspiracy theories like "Earth is flat", or "Global Warming is a hoax" for a reason. Fringe theories that rely on absurd reasoning and have no basis in actual facts must be curtailed, and under no circumstances do those theories deserve any amplication platform, definitely not one which operates at the scale like Facebook, YouTube, or Twitter.

I realise that what's a universal fact today needn't be a fact tomorrow, but we have got substantially better scientific and socio-political tools to verify and come to conclusions one way or other for many topics. It is only prudent to let fringe theories be fringe and not amplify them for more eyeballs and revenue.

Consuming nonsense does affect real people and has real world consequences.

“ Aristotle means Best End or Best Purpose, as his name includes the telos that plays such an important role in his philosophy.”

That’s almost too good to be true! Never has a name been more apt. It’s sort of recursive - like the telos of his name was to give rise to the guy who came up with “Telos.”
And yes, we'll need to think more about the SEO strategy! What terms do you think people would use to search for us? When we explored this before choosing the name (and we were unaware of the association so we didn't even notice the first result) we figured that someone would enter "Manara developers" or "Manara engineers" if they didn't find us immediately when searching "Manara"
Well, fortunately for Italian Americans they're no longer in the same position they were when this was put into place. This is great news, and it means we can move forward with eliminating Columbus Day and replacing it with Indigenous People's Day to prompt recognition of the xenophobia and discrimination that those people face to this day.
Wyoming has a big coal industry, so it might not transition too quickly.
An example for the privacy focused argument is the EFF panopticlick (I think they renamed it recently) test, which shows that, while Firefox is definitely good, Brave seems to be a little bit better in some aspects. And again, I want to repeat that I do not think that Firefox is a bad browser in any way, I just disagree with some of Mozilla's business decisions. The browser itself is great.

Also, Brave doesn't phone home as much as Firefox: https://www.zdnet.com/article/brave-deemed-most-private-brow...
You accused them of using an oversimplification with a selective definition, and then immediately performed that exact fallacy ("people with political opinions they support").
I want the ability to change these types of settings for my account. They can be buried in an advanced menu somewhere.

I have a password manager. My Google password is a long, unique string of random characters that I don't use on any other service. If someone does break into my Google account, it will be because they broke into my password manager and/or successfully phished me (or hit me on the head with a $5 wrench). Number of retries will have nothing to do with it, unless they have a computer from the future.

I am much more concerned about Google locking me out of my account some day in an attempt to stop someone from breaking in, then I am about someone else actually breaking in.
Here - An actual study showing how large the IT cell is

https://www.notion.so/UrbanNazi-com-Uncovering-the-Nexus-of-...

The BJP IT cell is bigger, better and more organized. It's India's state of the art. Dismissing the work being done here is a bit insulting to people working very hard to make it seem they do no work at all.

n for bjp accounts analyzed = 2,71,579 accounts

n for congress = 1,22,023 accounts.

Its fascinating stuff.

Also what you find is that internet forums usually get the people who are unhappy. The happy people aren't online. During the congress' tenure you had EVERYONE crying against the congress and everyone was a BJP supporter.

Today the roles have reversed. I bet it switches if the BJP drops from power.
I can't believe all this effort went into it and then it only has four steps. Looks magic still, but the utility seems to be gone.
Sounds like a reasonable test to do, but we do know very well we prefer crops developed for transportation over long distances which means not too soft. Not soft and good taste for whatever reason are related.

> "Everybody who is participating in this violence, what really amounts to an insurrection, should be held accountable," says the site's creator, who asked for anonymity to avoid retaliation.

6,000 people didn’t storm the capital. Intentionally taking these images out of context, and posting them like mugshots and calling them all insurrectionists?

I hope any one of the many peaceful protesters captured in those images files a lawsuit for libel.
This has happened multiple times in the past with similar aggregators. I will be surprised if it does not happen again. But good luck. I want products like this to exist.
I fail to see how this preserves some ability of Google to do whatever they like at the W3C. I see it as highlighting exactly why Google can't do whatever they like at the W3C. Just as their single vote prevented this change any other single voting organization could block whatever Google wants to do at the W3C.
Pretty sure this bug is about the right-click menu.
Hi! What other societies have you seen with a high percentage of women developers?
The irony is that Google have the power the block any new technical specification thanks to their monopoly over the browser market. They can just not implement a spec and it's dead.
A Vitamin D deficiency can still not cause COVID, why would you think that?
Looks like everyone has the right to veto (hence, this outcome from a year and a half ago), and they vetoed forming a small committee that would thus have an exclusive veto.

Apple's been kneecapping the web for years with the dual argument "you cant have WebUSB/Bluetooth and be private, permission dialogs don't count." After allowing iOS to make the opposite trade-off while confusingly marketing their phones as "what happens on your phone stays on your phone", and making Facebook a central authentication mechanism in iOS 4 and pushing devs to use it to "hurt Google", allowing them to obfuscate their vetoes via an exclusive smaller group seems blinkered.
I've had far less problems with Linux. Just an hour ago I was dealing with someone whose Roboteq motor controller wouldn't work in Windows or Mac without additional drivers but it's basically plug-and-play on Linux.

Yeah there are things Linux doesn't support but just don't buy them. The things that it does support generally don't require any driver installation.
There are things (think of Higgs boson type) that lie on the limit of observability/detection, for which there isn't any guarantee that there will ever be means strong enough to qualify for the same level of rigorous study as most of the scientists are comfortable with. The easiest thing to do is to draw a line and to dismiss everything that goes beyond it. The smarter thing to do (in my view) is to recognize the decrease of control and accuracy in our means and classify the fields of study accordingly, then both asking and granting different levels of trust to what is being studied.
Is there a list of all the types of lessons?
Many people think Asia is a country in North America and Europe tho.

Methinks that would be letting scientific thought be influenced by cultural memes.

“race” is not really a distinction that has any actual biological merit and is purely a cultural creation, There is really no expectation that different “races” would be statistically differently affected any more than something other completely arbitrary and cultural such as “office workers" or “virgins”.

> This is particularly important for Vitamin D, since the colour of your skin has a meaningful influence on Vitamin D production.

Yes, but the lines between races is arbitrary and culturally drafted.

The same man who would be considered “black” in the U.K. would be considered “white” in Kenya. What test is even used as discriminant of “white people”? self-report, a pencil test?

In particular, I've seen many persons who are apparently considered “not white” in the U.S.A. whose skin complexion woud surely not have such a meaningful influence. Consider also the story with Rachel Dolezal, which showed well that race is a cultural meme, not a phænotypically defined set of traits, nor something upon which a biological significance can be built.
We're also wondering if some other countries like Australia might be an option
Vitamin D deficiency also does not cause COVID.
Google shouldn't have a right to vote since they have a conflict of interest. I would like to see Google removed from W3C. Absolute shambles!
Oh I'm all good where I am. Just pointing out what it does to the character of a neighborhood to have long-term renters stick around for the long haul.

In rent-controlled markets, in my experience it's not unusual for long-term renters to enjoy significantly lower housing costs than if they were to buy an equivalent condo. I know that when I looked it was definitely the case for me unless I had bought with > 50% down. Property taxes alone would've represented half of my rent, HOA another bit, so I would've had to have a very low mortgage.
By 'transactions sense' I think Yellen means using cryptocurrency to buy and sell goods and services. The Chainalysis figure seems to include people simply swapping USD for Bitcoin. So in that sense Yellen may be correct
They did, but it was all pretty unrelated. I thought GP's example was a good one.
Not really. It was a choice for C and C++ and it has a very solid low level implementation and efficiency motivation. Unfortunately, it also became a curse for these languages. After many decades of existence, they still haven't introduced proper multidimensional arrays, other than a hodgepodge of competing library implementations.
No. Unmoderated and anonymous dialog has a way of straying into mudslinging on subjects of political expression. From your suggestion: flagging the “ad hominem part” is moderation and could be open to interpretation if flagged statements are or not. Thus brings to mind Burke, “The majority of the citizens is capable of exercising the most cruel oppressions upon the minority.” True as that is, though, there’s been a growing popularization across groups for adopting a victimhood complex to feel justified in claiming oppression. So, no - ironic to post here, but actually cogent debate requires a base degree of mutual respect - which requires a shared (global) “culture” - and less anonymity.
Macbooks almost never have seamless wifi experiences on linux. At best you will have to manually install a wifi blob and for the newer ones the advice is to just get a wifi usb.
Yeah, but this is a bit weird, conceptually.
I dont drive those decisions butI will say if they had better "no support" options my org probably would buy it. We have no desire for RHEL support, they had had bad experiences in the past which was one of the driving reason to drop RHEL for CentOS, why pay for support if it sucks?
Google’s business model is the antithesis of privacy. The less privacy the better for companies like Google. I don’t mean that as hyperbole, but I would be very curious to know when it comes to privacy, what’s in it for Google?
So what are the odds of us being able to fire something off to catch up with this thing? I feel like I haven't seen this discussed, but presumably if it's no longer accelerating, it should be relatively easy to locate right?

We should at the very least start building out the capability to fire off something at the next mystery rock that floats by.
My anecdata, coming from SF to Japan: people seem much less stressed about getting kicked out of their homes here or having their rent raised despite no rent control because there is actually sufficient supply, and people aren’t depending on their house to gain value over time for their financial future (housing is generally a depreciating asset).

People tend to stay in the same homes for very long periods of time, and are invested in their local communities, but you can get short term housing or move frequently if you wish (short term leases exist but to be expected, cost to value ratio isn’t great; generally 1 year minimums without penalty for long term leases with 1 month rent fee if you leave earlier, and with high fees (3-5 months rent!) when you move in, so it’s not economically encouraged to hop a lot; I personally find these high costs unreasonable, but seems to be well accepted here).

Housing is generally reasonably priced; you can live within 30 mins of central Tokyo by train for less than $400/mo as a single person in an apartment (SF seems to completely lack cheap, small options for single people); but for a significantly larger premium, you can get a standalone house as well if you’d like. For me, despite living in a significantly more expensive apartment, I generally spend significantly more on going out to restaurants and stuff than my rent.

I personally think that if cities really invested in transit and relaxed zoning and permitting significantly, densifying neighborhoods, that market rate can produce the best of both worlds; but that would threaten the view that housing is an investment as the cornerstone of ones financial life, so it’s unlikely to happen in a place like the US.
