You should check out the book "Debt: The first 5000 years" by Graeber. It covers this topic in depth.

My summary won't do it justice, but basically our society has a myth that society has always been capitalistic, but there is some evidence that is not true. It's a pretty interesting take on some fundamental economic thoughts and theories, because the author is an anthropologist.
If this were true, where are the people forced to accept jobs stripping because the unemployment office forced them into it? Further, what porn actors were forced by the same system?
Why can't we give him life and call that mercy, then?

It's not that hard to take a hard line stance against the death penalty and still say that mass murderers don't get to walk free.

Even if I am not the target userbase of Signal, which is partly true, by using it, I benefit those who really need it for its privacy features.

The millions of users like me who do nothing sensitive with it add bulk to traffic, making it harder to single out "interesting" data. I mean, for example, if only criminals used Signal, just having the app will get you a lot of attention from the police, as it happened with Encrochat.

I've seen this before and my thoughts on it are simple: ok, so OpenBSD does some silly and archaic things, but where are the exploits?

I keep hearing that the security community has doubts about OpenBSD, but I don't hear about those doubts being validated.
Masters are usually at most 2 years.

There is little computer history, and Java is usually used for an intro class (some might not have such one). Any math is more of an elective.

ED97 Looks like an ancient Vizplex panel. I would guess 2010s timeframe. Probably fine. Newer EPD controllers are still backward compatible I think.

> Or is this price what OEMs actually pay for E-Ink displays

E Ink is a niche market. In the display industry, anything below 2 million displays per quarter would be considered niche. Amazon is likely the only player in this market that can reach that kind of volume. Their volume is not high enough to justify scaling up a real high volume factory. From what I've heard, E Ink repurposes existing LCD production lines.

He's a primatologist right? I didn't read this book but listened to his TED talk, it was amazing.

Just curious, does he have any qualification in neuroscience? I was curious because the title of the book sounds like a problem of neuroscience, or cognitive science, or maybe philosophy of mind? Am I mistaken?
My 1 year at a consultancy out of 13 total as a dev gave me the the impression:

1. You get to walk on 10x the eggshells for the same pay

2. Shorter project ownership time horizon might have been fine with me, except this particular group was so intent on presenting the appearance of utmost competence to the clients that they couldn’t do the necessary course corrections that become apparent maybe 1/3 of the way into any project, once you’ve gained the initial bit of experience particular to that project.

The result was a quality of work that I was not willing to be a part of, so I bailed.

If you call indentured servitude slavery, you're not helping - it just lessens the dynamic range of language.

Jobs actually stood up at WWDC when he launched FaceTime and said “we’re going to the standards boards tomorrow and making this a fully open protocol”, then when they got hit with a patent suit, rearchitected it to be less peer-to-peer and didn’t open it up. Then, when iMessage came along, they probably figured what’s the point.
Sadly no. He's actually talking about using git instead of a database for storing data, which has come up a few times in the past month or so by clueless people.

I recently moved an Eleventy static site to start generating AVIF images. It is absolutely incredible the savings. I have images which went from 260kB to 16!

I used an npm module called @11ty/eleventy-img which renders the image variants at build time and generates the appropriate HTML for the browser to select the correct variant.

All I have to do is this, and I get correctly sized variants in JPG, WebP, and AVIF:

{% image "./src/static/images/grandma-holding-heirloom-video-book.png", "Woman holding Heirloom video book", "1152, 1896", "(min-width: 450px) 1896px, 1152px" %}
Allow me to explain the metaphor. When two sides shoot at each other that is called a war. When one side shoots the other that is called a massacre. Hence if another side starts shooting at you and isn't willing to negotiate, massacre or war are your two choices.

In "cultural war", this would correspond to one side trying to keep moving their positions forward. The either side either puts up a fight or they don't.

> 1. Flu cases numbers are estimates. Flu cases have disappeared, presumably on account of everyone getting SARS-CoV-2 instead.

The flu statistics are estimates based on a few sources - some including testing. There's still a number of swabs from people with flu symptoms being tested. In the proposed situation, the labs would register a large number of tests for flu coming back negative for both flu and common cold. There are people whose job is to notice trends like that.

2. It doesn't matter when the testing became possible. If multiple strains existed before, we'd likely see some "sibling" strains and common ancestors to the Wuhan and X strain. Both the siblings and X seem to be absent.

3. If you're ready to put the fall of infections right as the lockdown were implemented to a coincidence / healthy population, then I'm not sure it's even worth discussing the other aspects.

Btw, the context here is Australia. (You posted links to CDC)
I will say that one aspect of "written in Rust" is the combination of a high performance language (giving more head room for adding features) and a great packaging story (so you can build on the shoulders of giants, like burntsushi, author of ripgrep).
I think it’s mostly Power Query (the thing in excel that pops up when you click “Get and Transform Data” is what I’m talking about) requires .NET 4 at the moment, which means that they’d need to get it on .NET Core to get it on the Mac, and then would still have no way to get it on the web and on mobile. It’s a serious pain point for cross platform compatibility in Excel at the moment, but I concur with you that we need to keep it or something similar around (especially since Microsoft keeps dragging their feet on adding first class support for a scripting language that isn’t VBA).
Population density may be a factor but I think it's also cultural.

"We have objective evidence of severe legislative polarization at the federal level going back to the 1980s"

Political divisiveness in the US goes back much further than that.

In the "you think it's bad now" department, I remember reading about the case of, I think it was in the 1800's, of a congressman assaulting another congressman with a cane over some political issue.

Of course the most infamous case of political divisiveness in the US was the Civil War.. which, judging by the Confederate flags man conservatives/Republicans proudly fly and the reactions they get from more liberal parts of the political spectrum, and the incomplete desegregation of many parts of the country, discrimination against minorities, vilification/adulation of Confederate statues, etc, still hasn't been fully resolved in many people's minds.

Getting to more recent, but still older than 1980's, political events.. it's not like the country was united during the Vietnam era or during that of the 60's counterculture.

Or look at the socialist/anarchist unrest and workers strikes (and police/corporate violence against them) or suffragettes of the early part of the 20th Century.

Plenty of times in America's history when the country was very divided, and today's divisiveness is nothing new.

As long as there's rapid change it's likely to continue, as some people will want to slam on the brakes while others want to go full steam ahead.

There is no such thing as ‘light’ general anaesthesia. It’s a terrible term used only by non-anaesthetists. Did you have sedation? Movement with sedation is extremely common and not a concern. With sedation, we aim to provide comfort and relief from the anxiety-inducing parts of the experience, not unresponsiveness to noxious stimuli and lack of recall.
So you don't oppose internet access being blocked, you just want to be the one to control who's blocked? Or you are only in favor of blocking access to those who block others, so you're willing to sacrifice your access to block theirs?
This is something I would kick up a fuss over, even better if you weren't the only one affected. While there probably isn't anything you can do legally you may be able to get the company to see things from your perspective. This isn't wishful thinking either, I've been in a situation where we were able to negotiate for additional compensation after loss of RSU.
> Sustainable power comes from the bottom up, not the top down.

I’m all for decreasing the size and scope of the federal government as well, but I hardly think that’s a non-polarizing opinion.
> If you call indentured servitude slavery

You’re being perfectly accurate; indentured servitude is consistent with both historical understandings of slavery and modern legal definitions; it was certainly distinct from the particular form of chattel slavery that was popular for a few hundred years and fell out of fashion in thr 19th century, and it is useful to be able to distinguish them since they overlapped in time and space, but that particular form of slavery was not the historically dominant form, itself, and it doesn’t make sense to narrow the definition to that particular form.

While, certainly, that form of chattel slavery was the most immediate concern for, say, American abolitionists, I think they would see it as badly missing the point and not actually abolishing slavery if indentured servitude had been restored to replace chattel slavery.
Here's an odd copyright thing I came across recently .. this video (link below) has been marked as having a song when there is absolutely no fragment of the song in the video.

The video was used for Forever Young by Youth Group. But this is the original footage, from Australian TV, from 1976. Waaay before even the original Forever Young, by Alphaville in 1984.

I went to record a complaint but you have to be the owner, so I threw it in the too hard basket.

I understand your point, but the fear sounds overblown. North Korea isn't some isolated kingdom in the Andes - they have a long border with China, over which the US has no control.

If NK wants to raise a hacker army, I don't think the existence of some used computers donated by American churches would make a meaningful difference.

* That said, we also have to consider the danger of the US government deciding the donation is illegal, so ... (shrug)
Someone else already answered with the link to the official Godot information page[0] which can be summarized as:

* Godot dev team isn't a commercial entity with console development license agreements.

* Even if they were, the console support couldn't be truly Open Source due to licensing & NDA agreements with the console manufacturers.

* There are third parties who have ported Godot to consoles who may work with you port your own Godot game.

* You could always port it yourself.

Another aspect that they don't mention is that for the Godot dev team themselves to support consoles they'd essentially have to create an entire parallel development infrastructure (repo, issue tracking, CI etc etc) per console to maintain the NDA confidentially requirements.

In regard to Rust, they were another example I mentioned up thread about this very situation:

"""

The situation is also the same for other FLOSS projects, e.g. the Rust language, where the issues tracking game console support basically say "if you have the ability to develop for (current) game consoles, you also know we can't talk about it here where others aren't under manufacturer NDA":

https://github.com/rust-gamedev/wg/issues/90

https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-ecosystem/issues/18

https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/jtqgn4/q_feasibility_...

"""

So, the "something" that is "preventing opensource lowbudget projects from shipping to console" is manufacturer license agreements/NDAs that are the antithesis of & a barrier to cross-company Open Source development. :)

> During a webinar posted on YouTube in December, a member of the "essential concepts" committee claimed that the new framework would exclude traditional classes like Algebra 1 and Geometry.

This is crazy. I grew up in a South Asian country before immigrating for University. Even in my first year in University, I was tutoring multiple students from both my year as well as 2nd year on algebra, calculus and discrete mathematics. I would even say my math courses in first 2 years of University in western world was much easier than what I had already studied by grade 12 of back home.

I had covered Algebra, Geometry, quite advanced Calculus by grade 12 in South Asia. If these asinine policies continues, you can guarantee that western university students will keep loosing to foreign students like myself. There may even be no longer a point of people immigrating here for higher studies.

I have even spent time thinking about whether it might be a wise idea for me to immigrate back to my home country when I have kids because I wouldn't want them having such watered down education.
It's not that it's less work!

By one measure it's "more work" - if you think about the time that each person spends creating their content in advance, vs what they could spend wall clock time talking in the meeting - 30 min meeting can only have thirty minutes of talking - vs N x 10min pre-writing. It's just parallelizable outside of the tiny synchronous need as the mutex is passed, and a better use of everyone's time - you can write the status update any time before the meeting, whenever you have downtime.
YES. In 7 years with a company that got acquired by another and then eventually liquidated, my T&Cs changed about 5 times. I didn't have shares, but had a large profit share component which was fiddled with constantly. I think you should read Heidi Roizen's blog https://www.heidiroizen.com for some more examples.

Perhaps you should look at the big picture. Are your earnings above average? Was the stock grant the only reason you took the job? If you start legal action or make a lot of noise, your career will probably hit some roadblocks at that company and possibly others if the news gets out in the open.
> Forcing them to perform manual steps or else is not helping

I don't see the "forcing" or the "or else" in the github blog post.

Can you explain how github is forcing them to perform a manual step? Or, can you explain what the consequence of them not performing the manual step of approving the PR is?
The whole point of the article is that many doctors have had to step into roles or acuity levels that were not every day material for them and not what they signed up for.

A trauma surgeon expecting gunshot wounds could well find it much more challenging to be working as an ICU physician, where you can't detach yourself as easily, and where you can't use your most-practiced skills, and where you can't know by the end of the procedure whether the patient's odds are good. They specifically didn't sign up for that.

It's easy to say "don't get personally invested" but even if you're not getting attached to particular patients, it's demoralizing to go from an environment where you see a range of outcomes (including some bad ones) to one where you're constantly surrounded by patients near death with little chance for improvement and where your skills don't necessarily seem to matter. That's not about being invested.
Getting old works for me too! I don't give a f..k anymore. But I still find it easier to live as an obvious stranger.
India’s Covid Surge Puzzles Scientists
A decade ago the activists were occupying Wall Street. Now they’re all aligned with the mega corps and the fighting is about semantics of how we say that lives matter. I believe this was deliberate. That doesn’t mean I necessarily believe some evil people twirled their mustaches to plot evil in secret, but is rather the result of many organizations working unison towards common goals without the necessity of central planning.
Please don’t bring a recorder. It puts you at risk because when we ask if you have any devices, we expect an honest answer. If it is discovered you will lose the trust of your treating team. You can get electrical burns if certain equipment is used. You could have recorded conversations about other patients, which you are not entitled to do.

Farmers markets are most definitely not a chore in the Pacific Northwest. They tend to be more expensive than grocery stores with much less to choose from.
Yup, not the dominant form.

However I found a curious tidbit the other day; the 1619 ship had indentured servants not slaves. Not to belittle their plight, as they were de facto slaves as soon as they got on the ship.
Ah yes, Youtube. A trusted source of information.
Proof of work requires the expenditure of an amount of computing in exchange for some form of validation or reward. The amount of work required has scaled with the cost of power required to buy a bitcoin, and the speculative nature of the market has that on an upward curve.

Some new form of crypto which is based on proof of stake or some other means will eventually replace bitcoin.
It's also littered with factual errors (I'm not an academic but even I spotted an outright falsehood), which makes one rather dubious of the overall thesis.

Can someone please summarize this video?

I really don't want to have to endure watching / reading anything from The Hill, who claim independence, but in fact usually have click-baity antagonistic headlines that to me feel usually pretty seriously right sided.

Jumping in at 1:30/10:00 min; "America was founded to escape the idiocy of the European monarchical system, where they literally fought 30 years wars over religion. And yet things might actually be worse here than in Europe some 250 years latter."

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh highly highly questionable statement. Justifying my "please don't make me endure this" feels. War versus "division"? Please. Please bro, why you doing this to us?

Rapid fire launch into some very obvious probably for the better arguments that sectarian division is stronger than race & religious division. Yeah, like, religion isn't the dividing factor it used to be 250 years ago my dude[1]. Like, yeah, we've somewhat become an integrated society in the past 250 years. That our divisions are more along these party lines is unsurprising as all heck, yet it's presented as stunning thinkpiece "can you believe?". Please.

This is trying to drum up controversy. I have my own suspicions about who is selling this, why drumming up a message like this would shield them from more serious criticism about very real very legitimate political divisions that have been huge hammering serious points. 'Oh it's just partisan politics it's not real' is the disinformation being sold here.

Yet I'd agree, I think there is radically partisan, radically aggressive culture war afoot. But the losing side is really really sore about it. And they haven't had anything good or decent to say, haven't figured out how to do anything but be angry and vicious and nasty, in a long time. Most of my life-span, as it so happens. Sad to see Bush I as an in any way moderate figure.

The civil rights was full of people begging for unity, and asking Black leaders to just calm down and wait.

All the calls for calm today are exactly the calls for calm they've always been in America -- calls from folks who are not suffering to those who are to just deal with it.

In my opinion, calling for unity and calling for calm are dismissive of very real concerns people have.
