You can claim that you are not pro-CCCP, but when you reject the clear evidence provided by numerous well respected an neutral news organizations that hundreds of thousands of Muslims are being locked up in camps without committing a crime and without a trial, simply because thegrayzone.com calls it U.S. "propaganda", you are being pro-CCCP in your actions, regardless of what you proclaim.

You need to understand,the people in German concentration camps were accused of betraying the German state, supporting terrorism, or hurting Germany and its people. The German government did not say "we are taking all the Jews and gassing them", they said they were taking criminals, traitors, and their sympathizers, and sending them to re-education camps where we will use labor to re-educate them.

https://training.ehri-project.eu/nazi-concentration-camps

> During 1933-34 some 100 concentration camps existed throughout Germany, and more than 100,000 detainees went through them. The purpose of the camps was correctional because detainees of "Aryan blood" were to be "re-educated" by means of violence and hard discipline, slave labor and propaganda in order to make them give up earlier ideas and beliefs and merge into the conformist “Volksgemeinschaft” or "people's community," which the Nazis proclaimed.

It was not until later that the extermination was really ramped up, and it was not until after the war that the full scope of the genocide was revealed. And as another commenter pointed out, there actually were multiple different types of camps, some which were labor camps (such as auschwitz), and some which were extermination camps (such as sobibor).

Now, you claim to be arguing that the re-education camps are not concentration camps, but the plain words of your argument make it clear that you agree that the re-education camps indeed fit the definition of a concentration camp. Instead, you seem to mainly be arguing that concentration camps are not necessarily so bad, since they don't involve literally mass murdering Muslims, and that they are actually necessary (??), so you prefer not to call them concentration camps since it has bad associations.

But understand that yes, it is entirely appropriate to compare the Chinese concentration camps to the Nazi ones, because just on the basis of the description you gave of the Chinese concentration camps, they match the description of the camps as understood by the German public at the time, and some prisoners actually were treated in that way.

Nuclear power is a left friendly technology, as long as you define "left" to include statist, centralised economic planning. (which a lot of "left" people don't do)

It is odd how the only people I can have conversations of merit about Nuclear power with, are generally rightist Statists, Even most economists now decry Nuclear power, unless untenably evil neocons. (who I avoid)

But there is a small cohort of statist, vaguely right wing people I otherwise disagree with almost all the time, but we can talk about nukes.

So you're opposed to TLS strengthening measures like certificate transparency? Because i think its pretty good for privacy.

Blind google hate is just as bad as blind google fanboyism. Google does plenty for internet privacy, especially in the parts that don't affect its underlying business model, which is a big part of the privacy space.
This is probably a more nuanced set of circumstances.

Google is the big shark, and all the other fish have an economic interest to impede Google in addition to philosophical and other business model differences.

So the situation isn’t quite the same as if you would have dozens of members of more similar size, power and influence.

On the web in large parts of the world it’s increasingly becoming Google against everyone else in a war for survival.
I also find it funny how in every browser related thread there's inevitably someone selling Brave in the comments, usually near a Firefox comment.

I've never personally used Brave -- my only interaction with it was when one of my profs in university invited a guy for a talk who then basically proceeded to shill Brave for half the talk. It left an awful taste in my mouth and continues to do so.
Yup. I repeated this enough that I ended up making a term for it.

Let's not ignore the elephant in the room here.

Every single one of you who use chrome daily, both on desktop or mobile, is directly contributing to Google being able to do this.

If Chrome was one of two or three browsers, google would have to at least pretend to play nice. Google is doing exactly what they accused Microsoft of trying to do in the famous Google vs Microsoft, strong arm W3C and define standards in their self interest.

At least Microsoft gave us ajax. Google just stole an AGPL browser, changed the license and marketed it heavily with the money they were giving to mozilla.

> You want to 'exploit' F/OSS? That's kind of a sick way to phrase it, no? This is one of the largest, kindest shares of modern human knowledge/artwork in history.

I'm simply using the least charitable language to describe what I'd like to do (and what AWS has already done) -- there's no need to sugar coat. If someone (normally a group of people) has worked hard to create some software, and released this software as open source, and I take to hosting it for profit, I am exploiting their efforts without a doubt if only in the most literal definition-driven sense.

As one would "exploit" natural resources, I would be taking the product of their effort and used it to generate profit. Whether they were kind or noble has nothing to do with it, though of course I agree that F/OSS is one of (if not the) largest and kindest sharing of knowledge in human history. I owe my career to F/OSS and the community that powers it (and of course a few schools and teachers along the way), I haven't forgotten.

What I was trying to point out is that it's relatively easy for me to make a decision to give back 10/20/30+% of revenue (never take % shares of profit, see the movie industry) as a bootstrapper, where companies who are VC funded may not be able to make such a choice easily because they have other capitalists to answer to.

> Don't _exploit_ the generosity of other people. Use it and contribute back to it. Framing it as something to exploit really emphasizes the need for the GPL.

This is very close to my point -- if you don't want this to happen (no matter what someone calls it), pick the appropriate license -- BSSL or a similar license. Do not depend on the kindness of strangers, it's not a good long term strategy -- the GPL was invented to give that ideology teeth and it's been outrageously successful.

Sentry, a well known and liked player in the error reporting space does so[0]. People use Sentry, and contribute to it, and love it. People who think picking GPL licenses will offer the same protections are somewhat misguided, the closes you can get is AGPLv3 which to be honest isn't even right, because hosting unmodified versions seemed to be permitted.

I call it exploitation because that is what you have to assume that companies (which exist for a very specific reason in just about every economy in the world) will almost certainly skew in the direction of exploitation, they are basically duty-bound to do so.

In a lot of people's minds, including mine, these laws are very similar to attitudes at the beginning of the country that said that only land-owning males could vote.

Essentially, local planning meetings are like that. Anyone can talk but people who own are given priority over renters and people who own are obviously going to be more aggressive in protecting their position than we could expect renters to organize.

On the surface it doesn't matter but the net effect is pretty clear (lots of single family houses, little apartments, expensive land and expensive housing)

The headline conflates two things into an unsupported conclusion. The original author actually said that the murder rate nationally may have risen more than any other year. They did not say that the rate increase in any given city was unprecedented in those cities.
You could make almost anywhere look this grim, in B&W on a rainy day. That said, I spent much of my childhood in south wales in the 1960s and 1970s, and it had grim writ large through it. Not always, but often.

Also places of stunning beauty, and history. You have to know how to pick.

Contrast this with e.g. rural japan (Toyama fishing harbour) which has gutted fish heaps, rotting jetties, next to amazingly cared for plants wrapped in hessian with bamboo struts, Onsen, amazing Kaiseki food...

Rhyl can be lovely. Rhyl can be cold and forbidding. the 1970s were a time of 17% mortgage interest, rampant inflation, mass unemployment... I went there hunting diesel shunting locomotives in my train spotting days.

If you want grim wales, Barry Island. But then, steam engine burial ground. Yes, grim, but also amazing. Like chernobyl but for steam engines. (maybe thats gone now)

And 4 times 4 is quite long actually. That is 16 long years and the current chancellor, Angela Merkel, is actually the 'brain child' of previous 16 year chancellor Helmut Kohl, with just a brief intermittence of Gerhard Schroder in between. For non-observers of the German political parties, Kohl and Merkel are from the 'regular' conservative party (CDU), while Schroder was from the SPD, the regular left or 'working people's party'. Of course after being chancellor he became an advisor for Russian Gazprom... A lot of Germany heats with (Russian) natural gas.

https://www.trtworld.com/europe/merkel-helmut-kohl-s-little-...

Kohl: 1 October 1982 - 27 October 1998

Schroder: 27 October 1998 - 22 November 2005

Merkel: 22 November 2005 - whenever Corona ends I suppose. Thuringia already postponed their state elections from April to September because of Corona.
I’ve visited some of the “Best Beaches In The World” - Hawaii, Caribbean, Fiji - but none as good (as a beach) as some of those in Pembrokeshire (south west Wales) where I grew up

Now, many had much better facilities, and often much larger crowds, but the beach aspect is pretty darn good.

North Wales is nice too, I suppose

If you’re not in the oil refining business though, good jobs are really hard to find, and everything is rundown compared to my childhood. Those “offseason” photos could now be taken at any time of the year

Keep in mind Google is the default browser on Android. Many corporates load Chrome as the default browser as part of their setup process for new machines. For many naive people Chrome is the default browser. It's been a long time since I've seen a a windows machine provisioned by a corporate with Edge as the default browser. Many corporates also warn people away from Edge, Safari, Firefox and other "undesirable" browsers. So IMHO it's not demand from people but really for many the decision has been imposed on them by others.

Thanks!
> “It is not obvious to me why extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”

This is either very obtuse or very disingenuous on Loeb's part. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to establish them as true. But that doesn't mean extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence to investigate. You investigate the claims in order to see what kind of evidence there is for them. I would expect the actual peer-reviewed paper, which unfortunately this article doesn't link to (I hate when pop science articles do that), to lay out in more detail what the evidence is and why Loeb thinks it establishes his claim.
> But there are people who truly believe that building housing raises rents!

Except that is not an accurate description of their position.

If a developer is given free reign as to what they can build, they will naturally build the most profitable thing they can on the land they have available. I doubt anyone would dispute that?

The idea here is that the most profitable thing tends to be more upmarket than the locals can typically afford. The area gets gentrified and rents go up.

I am nowhere near an economist, but that doesn't immediately seem wrong to me. There are plenty of real world examples where this has happened.

A socialist would say that if the market fails to provide solutions for core needs of people (health, housing, etc) it is up to the government to provide those. Some things are simply either unprofitable or not suited for a profit driven approach (e.g. private prisons where the companies running them are actively incentivised to see repeat offenders).

You can argue that having the government build low cost housing is not the correct solution, but I think the propostion that some housing raises rents is actually not that crazy.
> It's better demonstrated than described in text, but I hope you follow it.

I do understand that. I thought about implementing something like that for Pd, but in reverse. Programs there tend to look like write-only spaghetti, so it would be helpful to have something like a "spotlight" feature that temporarily removes (or blurs, etc.) the spaghetti that isn't part of a currently selected chain of objects. That would make spaghetti at least navigable with a mouse and some time.

Anyhow, I've never found a dataflow or visual programming that really deals with the ergonomics of writing the code. At some point I just want to do a little math, or a quick conditional, or some such conceptually simple business for which the graph just gets in the way. At that point it's easiest to drop down to some kind of text-based DSL inside a single box and be done with it.

Brave is also based on Chromium, which defeats the entire purpose of the suggestion. Using Brave over Firefox only gives Google more power to dictate web standards.

The original study says a car driving using 1 gallon of gas is 9 times worse than running video conferencing for an hour. My car burns 1.5 gallons in an hour (and that's with highway efficiency), so that means driving for an hour is 13.5 times worse than running a virtual meeting. Considering my commute used to be 45 minutes each way, videoconferencing seems pretty reasonably better than the alternative.
Would is be close-minded or reductionist to dismiss Homeopathy? Because there are certain philosophical topics that have little more merit (beyond a study in philosophical thought/history).
It’d also be interesting to see how much further you could go with permissions restricting access. For example, my 1Password usage needs to be able to read/write DOM element values but you could potentially say no network access or ability to create script or style elements. I’m not sure how much further sandboxing could practically be taken but it really seems like the all data, all sites permission needs to be much rarer than it currently is.

Yeah, that's the problem. Surely people did this for kicks from time to time. When I was younger, I used to fill old wine bottles with water, freeze them, then turn the cracked remains into candle holders. I had a few of them, and thought they looked cool.

There's some disconnect between what I did as a bit of crafts, and calling it an objet d'art that's a commentary on .. well, anything, that I don't fully grok.

Because without Firefox we only have the new version of Internet Explorer, now with fancy skins. How Google defines the web standards are how every chromium variant defines it. I get it, not everyone cares about having a web not defined by advertising companies but those that do only have Firefox, like it or not.

I think flooding is highly dependent on location (as long as it's not a basement). As is fire. Look at all the homes destroyed in the wildfires in recent years. The incidence of house fires not related to natural events is decreasing, but the speed that a house burns is faster today than in the past.

It seems like every 2-3 years I hear about an apartment building in my area that has a fire destroying multiple units or the whole building. When I lived in an apartment I deliberately chose an old complex because they were concrete - better fire protection, less noise transfer, and fewer pest concerns/points of entry.
It kind of reminds me of a situation where you want to help community on a hot day and put several 24 packs of bottles of cold water in your front yard with a card "free for everyone", and then watching like a shop owner comes with his truck and grabs all water and then go sell it in his store.
The spirit of open source used to be that enthusiasts built software out of passion to help themselves and others. If a contributor was given a choice - 1. Spend several years using up your free time, sacrificing contact with family, other hobbies to build this software and then have a multi billion company grab your software, badge it with their logo and make billions of off your hard work without giving you anything back, maybe a footnote and pat on the back. You spent your best hours on writing every single line, but you will never get to sip champagne. Or forget about open source and focus your mind on achieving something meaningful for yourself. I feel that many big companies spread this propaganda how great open source is and what an achievement is to contribute, where the main goal is to exploit people and obtain free IP without paying salaries and taxes. The badges on Github remind me of this short movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXIdmW4Hau0 picture soldiers as open source developers.

IIRC a solar farm is being built in Australia which isn't going to touch Australia's own power grid, but rather is going to connect to Singapore's power grid using a pair of undersea HVDC cable runs.

Taiwan could probably get in on that action. If you're already running a 3500km cable, you could run a 4500km cable just as well.

(Kind of annoying that Taiwan can't just buy green energy from China — very easy logistically — but that's extremely politically untenable.)

So you'd rather I minced words?

I did not disparage F/OSS, the exploitation was about what is happening right now and will continue to happen -- corporations (and have started to realize that they can leverage F/OSS for their own ends, whether it's releasing open core stuff, or using CDDLs and getting people to sign over commits (which are IP), or making the code permissively licensed but controlling the development through other means.

I also believe F/OSS is a beautiful thing, which is why I try to look at what is happening with it optimistically and cynically.

P.S. Example of "other means" -- I personally think this is the model that Kubernetes and some other large single-company-backed F/OSS projects is doing, they've essentially built bureaucracy which replicates the internal politics you'd find at a large company, and I think it'd be quite difficult for a regular contributor, no matter how ardent, to get a "board seat" if not backed by some large company. Kubernetes was a better tool than others, but Google also spent a lot of money to propel it forward.
When I was embedded in that world, the rule was that whatever was inside had to survive being dropped a few (3?) feet.
