I clearly remember burning CDs up until around 2010, but I never realized that the technology was already around 30 years earlier.

I still have rose-colored glasses nostalgia of the days of PC games in large cardboard boxes containing multi-CD jewel cases and elaborate manuals.

I bet you the CD will come back as a vintage retro format in about 10-15 years when the kids who never grew up with them learn to treat it as a cool hipster format. Just like my generation did with vinyl, which I never experienced myself back in the day, having arrived too late on the scene.

I had a funny interaction with accounting, not for medical services but import.

I got billed extra taxes like 100$ (for a 80$ item), even though the seller said price included import fees to my country, so I bounced complaint emails all around to say no. After a while they stopped responding. Then 6 months later, lawyer official letter comes in. Threats of legal action.. I do the same email bouncing to them. After a while I suggested I paid 20$, the guy handling my case asked me to confirm that, a week later they sent me a new bill with 100$ fees and 80$ rebate.

There's no ground in their actions, at any point some dude can edit the documents and consider the issue resolved.
Look up Proof of Stake which is what Ethereum is moving to later this year. In Proof of Stake validators put up an ETH bond in order to randomly get picked to help create blocks in the network. The higher the price of ETH the more expensive it becomes to attack the network.

Yes I see this too. For The Travelers back in those times the world could look very different.

> Try asking about withdrawing support for a public figure or a company without calling it cancel culture.

Sure, it’s not a very good term. No argument from me.

> Social consequences

Is “being fired from your job” a “social consequence”? When I think of social consequences, I think “you might lose friends”, not “you won’t be able to pay your bills and your kid won’t get the treatment she needs to survive”.

> How many ordinary people were terminated because of a coordinated harassment campaign? Numbers not anecdotes.

I’m guessing anecdotes are the best we have. I doubt anyone has numbers because employers are rarely going to be forthcoming that they fired their employee because they were afraid of the Twitter mob. Moreover, it’s not just the people who are fired, but the people who self-censor for fear of losing their jobs.

Personally I don’t understand why this is controversial. Surely we can all agree that Twitter mobs shouldn’t hold sway over people’s employment in order to suppress dissent? How much fear and chilled speech is optimal for a democratic society? Even if you think critics exaggerate the impact of cancel culture, can’t we all agree that canceling is vile, there’s too much of it going around, and we should condemn it and if necessary neuter it by passing employment protection laws or regulating social media or similar?

Dr Seuss isn't hate speech, there are a few racist caricatures in a few of his books, that the owners have stopped printing.

A few private platforms have stopped selling those books -- not all of them, neither all platforms nor books.

You can still find those books, you just won't be able to buy official reprints from the copyright holder.

I am not sure where you'll draw the line if you insist that copyright holders continue to issue reprints or if you insist that private platforms continue to offer trade in things they don't want on their platforms.

Would that rule apply to ebay, but not a physical retail store where space is at a premium and people have to make choices about what not to sell every day? And would that rule compel ebay to sell nazi memorabilia or pre-American civil war slave memorabilia (which, afaik, they do not sell)?

The Seuss stuff is something I really can't wrap my head around, because what is it people really want? Just the estate to be compelled to keep printing and selling them, that ebay be compelled to keep allowing them to be sold?

Or some broader rule where any copyright holder of some (contemporarily) objectionable material be compelled to keep offering it, and every store be compelled to keep trading in it? All of those put limits on people's freedoms to choose in ways that make me uncomfortable.
A technical guide to SEO (2016)
8 spaces does not in any way match the language described by that regex. Not a partial match, not a full match.

Plugging the first space into a DFA described by the regex is an immediate failure - there is no exit from the initial state initiated by the space character. It's a non match.

Regex engines will say they do match because they are by default checking for for substrings that match the language (such as the initial empty string of each line of grep), not for strings that match the language.

The problem is it not a "new technology" -- the original Ethereum DAO was made 5 years ago. The arguments for and motivations for the 0x DAO read exactly the same as 5 years ago, and the same as many other decentralized government schemes that came after.

Is this going to be better than the previous N attempts? I seriously doubt it.
From the follow on of the provided Twitter link in Jeff's website and based on the latest status updates, it seems that the 4-port Ethernet CM4 carrier or Raspberry Router from Blinkinlabs is taking shape now [1].

It uses KSZ9897 switch and LAN7431 PCIe-to-Ethernet adapter from Microchip, and the former does supports VLAN and LACP [2]. The fact that the switch chip can supports up to 7-port Ethernet thus it is possible to make a version of Raspberry Router that can be used in company setting (Mikrotik's customers) in addition to home networks.

This is fascinating. I've spent some time looking into the sexed semen, had no knowledge that was a thing prior. Thank you for sharing that.
I also think it is quite attractive. The only character which jumped out at me as discordant and jarring was the capital N. It looks like an Old Norse rune, which looks out of place to me in context.
Would you be content with chatbots, a sex doll, and living in an undersea bubble? If so (I doubt it), great, go for it.

If not: don't answer, silent mode, or power off, or appreciate human contact when you do. If people are "calling too much," it's because you failed to train them how to interact with you. And, now you're resenting their assuming it was okay because you were too "nice" to be honest. Instead of mind-reading, communicate (edit: communicate your preferences of communication) perhaps. It's probably you, not them. Sorry, bud.

Edit: Let's inquire curiously rather than name-call or get snarky, because that degrades the site and discourages understanding.
I think the whole thing is bogus from the start, the 'social media' idea I mean. These are companies.. they're not here to make culture or societies.. they're parasite leeching on your human needs.

When a new trends starts organically, it's all impulsive and genuine, then people start to profit on it and the game is over.
Could be placebo, I grant you. 90% of my milk consumption is as yogurt, I get the UHT stuff by preference, so I don't have to scald it in the Instant Pot myself. The comparison is apples-to-apples along that dimension.

Your claim surprised me, so I've done a bit of looking into it, and it seems that milk from cows given rBGH/BST was never particularly prevalent, and has steeply declined over the past ten years! Also, the FDA never required the disclaimer about rBGH milk being found to be identical to non-rBGH, that's tacked on out of fear of lawsuit.

I guess next time I make yogurt I'll try the store-brand UHT and see what I think. Organic certification does have some animal welfare requirements which I support, but I eat almost a quart of yogurt a day and the difference could buy me dinner at a decent restaurant every month.

I will say that the difference between expensive eggs and cheap ones is completely obvious, while that between organic milk and the regular is subtle enough that I might just be fooling myself.
Should we be upset that people can't afford to provide cures we don't want to pay for?

When I work, I get paid. I expect pharmaceutical companies feel the same way.

And if you look at how the world dealt with the hep c cure, it was pretty much trying as hard as possible to pay as little for a cure because the cost was front loaded.
Same goes for Germany. The prices for doctors are fixed, so you can kinda look up how much a treatment would cost.
>Is “being fired from your job” a “social consequence”?

Of course it is, when employment is not a right but a privilege granted by society. Exceptions regarding protected groups aside, no one has the right to embarrass their employer and potentially negatively affect their image or customer relations and keep their job. That is functionally no different than bringing shame to one's household or community.

This was a key thing that needed to happen for a long time. Insurance companies had no bargaining power with hospitals and price opacity helped secure that leverage for the hospitals.

One way to do a ratio of 720:1151 is to construct a gear with 720 teeth, and a second gear with 1151 teeth, and mesh them together. This wouldn't be impossible, but it would be a lot of work. If it takes you 5 minutes per tooth, that would be 156 hours sitting there with a file, grinding teeth away. Plus, perhaps most importantly, they'd be enormous- you're talking gears that are like 2 feet across for 1/8" teeth. The Antikythera mechanism was a little over a foot on its long axis, and 8 inches across the other.

Let's say instead of a ratio of 720:1151, the ratio happened to be 720:1147. You construct gears with 24, 30, 31, and 37 teeth. (24x30 = 720, 31x37 = 1147) 720 and 1147 are still coprime, so you can't be reduced the way 720:1152 can be reduced to 5:8. (or more likely, 20:32) You connect the teeth of your 24 tooth gear to your 31 tooth gear, connect your 31 tooth gear to the 30 tooth gear via a common shaft, and connect the teeth of your 30 tooth gear to the 37 tooth gear. The final gear ratio of this mechanism will be 720:1147.

This only works because both 720 and 1147 can be factorized into manageable primes.

Constructing those 122 teeth will take 10 hours at 5 minutes a pop, which is a lot of work but not unmanageable. Furthermore, those four gears can be constructed by four workers, and it will take the 37 tooth worker 3 hours, but a worker working on a 1151 tooth gear will require 96 hours. The gears will be much smaller, easily fitting in your fingers.

----------------------------------------

It's also more difficult to construct gears with prime numbers of teeth. If you need to construct a gear with 32 teeth, you bisect the angles a few times until there are 32 portions, then cut teeth there. If you need to construct a gear with 30 teeth, you split it carefully into thirds, carefully split each third into fifths, and then cut two teeth in each fifth. This would probably be a bit rough, but probably within tolerances. You split into thirds or fifths with a straight edge and compass, the way you can with bisecting, but you can wrap some string around the edges and even split string into thirds pretty easily, and fifths with some effort.

If you need to construct a gear with 31 teeth, there's not really a convenient way to do it. There's a lot of pedagogy involved; I think the best way would be to guess about how large a tooth is gonna be, add that to a string you've wrapped around the blank wheel, then repeatedly bisect the string into 32nds, then check if the 32nd tooth overlaps the 1st tooth well enough. If not, start over. But there might be a more convenient way to do it.
Deregulation of telecoms.

Now we have monopolies with no regulatory requirements to provide service to customers. Read: Verizon refusing to rebuild landline areas affected by severe storms.

Removal of regulations for ISPs.

Data caps. Throttling. Zero metering. Deep packet inspection. Data injection. Opt out (if you even can) tracking.

Removal of oversight for agriculture and removal of animal welfare regulations.

More contaminated products. More waste being dumped improperly.

Like the argument about minimum wage. Wages aren't going to go up if they remove minimum wage as companies are already paying the least they can get away with.

The "free market" simply cannot be trusted to regulate itself. The argument that this wouldn't happen in a "true free market" doesn't hold water. Nor that less regulations would make it easier for newer companies to compete: We've only seen the actual reality of such a policy. Less regulations make it easier for existing companies to fuck the consumer over.

Regulations are written in blood. There is a reason they existed in the first place.

Like when you go for a normal doctor's appointment, pay on your way out the door and the other get three bills in the mail "because they didn't know how much the insurance would cover when you paid". I have great insurance, this is pure bullshit.
You say this:

> It does not take a deliberate will behind something for it to be pulled toward this sort of inequality, and presenting it as if that's what's happened suggests that if we could only defeat the Evil People who "engineered" it this way, we could make it better.

...but then also this:

> ...to inhibit the flow of money upward from the 99% to the 1%. It's hard, it will take a long time, the people with the most wealth and power will fight us every step of the way...

So maybe there are "evil" people and deliberation at work, and it's not just emergent complexity?

I find it strange that a skeptic would have more favorable views of MOND & Bohmian Mechanics. These theories are different from, but by no means better, than their competitors. I think what we're looking at here is more like an impulse towards iconoclasm. But one must generally hold up something as an alternative and it's easier to choose a pre-existing candidate than to create your own.

Not OP, but of course not. But the text message with that other person is not the end of the interaction. It is a coordination effort. "What time are you going to be here for dinner." "6:30." Then the actual human interaction in person happens.

Total deregulation is the only way. People should be free to contract as they wish, without limitations imposed on them by centralized regulatory authorities.

The alternative in this age of instant global communication is this: US regulatory agencies having to prosecute companies in other countries because people living in the US were able to access the companies' services through the internet, resulting in no company anywhere on Earth being allowed by arms of the US regulatory system to provide financial services that do not ID and track customers.

In the car analogy, there are natural differentiators between levels of service, namely completely different shops that Rolls Royce owners go to. Even so, the same shop could have a price list specifically for Rolls Royces, using Rolls Royce certified mechanics.

And the residual where a shop is willing to pay for damage caused by barely competent mechanics on less expensive cars, but only becomes concerned when that liability grows? It seems like that should fall on the business.
