I recently decided to switch my Auth for cloud services over to Indieweb. It has huge benefits on platforms hosting user generated code as the user identities are transferable out of the box and don't require pre-approved redirect URIs. Hence, it works very well for authors on observablehq.com who move code around user content domains.

https://observablehq.com/@endpointservices/auth

I use this Auth as replacement for Firebase Auth... I can issues tokens for backend services using Indieweb identities that engage with Firebase security rules.

Anyway, I am super excited to have observable/Firebase/Indieweb all interoperable
I like the idea, but it seems to live in a strange in-between niche of people wanting lots of control over their data and content, whilst also being heavily tied to a few social media silos. Since I don't use social media, I'm probably not their target audience.

I've implemented a few of their microformats on my site ( http://chriswarbo.net ), but the rest of it seems rather over-engineered without offering much benefit. For example 'indieauth' seems to rely on third parties; this didn't seem too bad when Mozilla Persona was around, but these days it seems like a NotInventedHere alternative to OAuth 'sign in with Twitter'.
This doesn't seem to be true.

> Fine, but can we please stop pushing this cherry picked cliche narrative of "US bad because healthcare, shootings and tap water."?

Are you saying those aren't issues?

Because I've lived in the US, and know many Europeans that have lived there or traveled there on holidays, and pretty much all of them agree that:

- the first time in their lives they were afraid of getting ill was when they started living in the US

- they were all astonished at the amount of homeless people living in tents in the downtowns of all major cities (here if a major city has like ~10 people sleeping outside in winter, that's bad, but the US is just shockingly bad)

- the first time in their lives they were afraid of getting killed was in the US (e.g. interacting with the cops, walking through some neighborhoods) because people were carelessly carrying guns outside (there are guns in Europe, some countries like Switzerland have a ton of guns, but the way people manage guns in public, and that includes police, is radically different)

- they were all astonished and the amount of fat people, and how fat they were. What people consider "fat" in Europe would probably be "normal" or maybe even "thin" in the US. You don't find in Europe people that are so fat that don't fit through the door of a bus.

These are not narratives, these are facts that every European that lives or has lived in the US will happily tell you about.

The US style of living is great if you have money, but Europeans measure their style of living by how the poorest people in their country live, not the richest people.

By those measures, the US is an outrageous place for pretty much all European standards.

> That's like saying Europe suffers from mass terrorist attacks and sexual assaults on young women.

Do you think that's a made up narrative? Because everyone I know in Europe agrees that this is true, that these are horrible issues to have, and that these issues need fixing.

Your argument that "the US has no issues because Europe has issues" is typically known as "whataboutism".

Don't be a "whataboutist". It doesn't help fix neither Europe's nor USA's issues.
Same here. Even just looking at the title, I wondered when would a battery be considered 'dead'.
There is no description of this in the whole article.
We struggle to define all of existence, so we have no frame of reference to speak for Existence.

What happens before birth (or conception really) is a Mystery.

I believe in anticipation though. A dog may bark in anticipation of owner returning home, before they come home or not.

So you need a frame of reference to speak of. If it's all bounded outcomes are certain. But nothing pragmatic is ever perfectly bounded..

I think there is some argument to be made that the Web is "running on" AI, since AI-driven ads businesses are the source of all money in the Web (essentially); and I do think that it's fair to call NNs "AI".

I for one am highly skeptical that the kind of automatic personalized targeting that AI enables is actually worth the price, but the industry overwhelmingly believes it is. So, removing AI from the picture would be considered to greatly diminish the value of advertising on the web per industry pricing, and with the ad money, much of the web would dry off.

What is here to discuss in the first place?

If you failed (or you think you failed) — just live with it and move ahead.

There’s so much more things worth trying that you didn’t fail yet ;)

If you don’t really think you failed or looking for ways to “unfail”, then there is no actual failure, just a process of life.

Then its a different question and you better be more specific — what are you trying to unfail?

YouTube demonetizes short content creators
Diving seems like one of the recreational activities where it is easy to end up doing something much riskier than you intended (another I'd say is alpine hiking):

1. Being able to easily sign up for a dive at an all-inclusive resort makes it seem more 'fine', you get a false sense of security that you will be taken care of.

2. Dive shops tend to be fairly relaxed with checking if someone is properly qualified to go on a particular dive. They barely check your papers or equipment, if at all.

3. You often don't really know what exactly you are getting into until you are in the middle of it. And then it can be too late to bail. Is it safer to abandon a group and attempt to go back and potentially get lost, or go into an environment that looks more dangerous than you expected?

I am a PADI open water diver, but only dive a few times a year, so not too experienced. One time I signed up for a shipwreck dive at an all-inclusive resort. I am usually quite careful, and naively thought it would be fine - we just dive down, go around the wreck and come back up. I rented all equipment, and had to pay extra for a wetsuit - the 'default' was to just go in my swimming trunks. Turned out, on the dive we ended up going inside the wreck through a very narrow passage under it, going through narrow dark corridors surrounded by rusted metal. Touch anything and you get scratched (which I did). Your cables or tank can easily get caught (which it briefly did for me - and since I was the last one in the group it was quite scary seeing the group getting away from me as I tried to catch up). The current around the wreck was quite strong.

Somehow the dive was planned such that there was very little allowance for extra air. I ended up using more air than I suppose was normal, and there would not have been enough to make a normal ascent. I ended up having to use the dive instructor's alt supply for some of the return swim and switch to my own for the safety stop, otherwise I would've run out. It is one thing to practice it, and another to actually have to do it on what was supposed to be a relaxing 'touristy' dive.

On another occasion, a dive instructor took me and my partner (who was on an introductory dive - she doesn't have a license) into a cave, which is also more dangerous than I would've preferred.

These experiences - combined with the general experience of wasting the whole day on a rocky boat breathing diesel fumes for an hour or so of diving - make me reluctant to dive again, unless the sight is particularly picturesque.

Forget banning politics at work -- that's obviously such a good idea that it should be considered an assumption. This post from chipotle_coyote makes a good argument for banning Slack at work.
You're proving my point here right? The trust and security of the Bitcoin blockchain does not have value to you, so in your mind we're completely wasting all that energy.
The fact is that a lot of "useless" things cost a lot of energy - Facebook? Useless to some, not to others.

Personally I view Bitcoin as the first implementation, we can and should improve on that concept. See Polkadot, Algorand, Eth 2.0 etc. as the new generation which does not use up a lot of energy.

All these open graph data tags (!) and half of them redundant.

I’m gonna be the one to complain about it here. Why are we adhering to a proprietary format by facebook when equivalent meta tags exists. e.g. why is og:description a thing when we have <meta name="description"> and why specify og:title when <title> is literally the only contented tag required by the HTML standard (so all websites are required to have one).

This reminds me of a post from yesterday: “We were promised Strong AI, but instead we got metadata analysis”[1]. And a poor one at that indeed.

In Australia on the major trucking routes, many trucks are company owned and are handed over to fresh drivers at rest stops. The trucks can proceed to destinations while the drivers sleep
I think a good rule to make is that to be fully selfreliant an AI would have to recognize random adjustments that are intentionally wrong or notably confusing for what they are or rather aren't.

I drove to work yesterday and a driver driving over the freshly painted lines to avoid a parked truck had basically caused a swerving lighter set of the lines in the middle of the road to appear.
Similarly in my country at construction sites where the road is redirected for a while the new lines are often just in a different colour and the old ones remain. Sometimes they aren't and i've gotten confused at least once.

But what if it was intentional or more pronounced? Perhaps we really should paint ourselves a looney tunes-esque scenario. The kind where our hero paints some lines towards and a fake tunnel on a wall. Except instead of some by radar easily recognised wall it should be some other danger.

Also. If I put a cardboard cutout of a cartoon character next to or on a road will it cause these cars to slow down? Will it take a risk to swerve if the cutout appeared around a corner?

Another great piece from Patrick, full of specific advice and grounded in several places with “and here’s the one non-obvious additional tidbit that will drive the point home for you most helpfully”.

Only minor addition I’d make is in the section on Fermi estimation of market size is to end that with a warning something like “but resist the temptation to say ‘and even if we only get 1% of that huge market, we’ll still be a success!’” You might be permanently viable and profitable (success for you perhaps), but getting 1% is harder than you think and is not a success case for a VC. But it’s super-tempting and common thought pattern. What you’re pitching and thinking of as an exciting modest success is another failure that the VC has to wind down and exit from.

You might be OK with that outcome, but portray that you’re single-mindedly going after 70+% of that market. If the investor wants to calculate what 1% of it is on their own, they can in their head; you don’t need to connect those dots for them and put the fallback/safety case in their mind. (It’s not entirely omitted, but I’d make it explicit as I’ve gone down this road myself.)
Starting a comment with "sounds dumb" isn't a great way to make your case that "it doesn't have to be toxic".
What got me about German business, as a Kiwi working with Germans, was a few things:

1) How cosy everyone in a given sphere is with each other

2) The nearly inevitable strip-club and coke in relationship building

3) The prevalence of kick-backs in contracts, although obviously euphemistically renamed.

4) How Germans accepted corruption as part of life

5) How they were proud that their corruption still got things built, unlike, say, the Italians

Now I don't really have much experience outside of these two countries, so maybe this is the norm around the world. But shit.

My DE parent company turned up on Muddy Water's[1] short list because of interesting share assignments, (paying above average for acquisitions) and unusual interactions with related entities. And I'm really not surprised.

And I really struggled to not use the word cosy repeatedly in this, because it was applicable to much of it, and really sums up Germany's informal corruption as I've experienced it.

Not that I claim NZ is any better, but here slight corruption doesn't feel like an accepted norm.

It seems like a law of the Internet that "nothing nice will last". If there's a potential for abuse, it will be abused and the rule-abiding majority will suffer for it. Firefox Send is another example of this, it was pretty obvious from the start that the threat vector of abuse would make it untenable in the long term even if the service itself was awesome.
Outlier in which sense ?

There is a lot of people from southern Europe and northern africa (morroco, algeria, etc.) living in central Europe (France, Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, etc.). There is a lot of people from East Europe (Poland, Ukraine, Czec republic, Croatia, Turkey) living in Central Europe as well.

How do you think these people travel to visit their families every couple of months ? They do 1000km per way trips with the car.

If you just have to cross Germany, you are not going to be driving there at 100km/h. I do 600-800km ways in Germany a couple of times per year, and do drive 220km/h everywhere where it is allowed and condition are good. Your average speed is never that cause traffic and so on, but over 190km/h average speed is doable if you travel at the right hours which I always do because... you don't want to spend 800km stuck on traffic.

Why not flying? Because while central europe has good airports, wherever they might be flying to might have an airport 3 hours away, requiring them to rent a car, etc. which as mentioned costs one month of net salary.

In Germany, for example, ~50% of the population rents. As a renter, its up to your landlord to retrofit your parking spot with an electric supply for your electric car. That costs money, and if the landlord says no, you can't do this yourself. Is not up to you.

Electric cars are more a "social problem" in europe than a technical one.

Definitely. It's a cultural thing, Germany (along with most Western countries) seems to follow the US in that regard.

The individualism <=> collectivism scale is well studied, and there's a significant gap between the US and Germany.

> where 40% of all recruitment efforts have to be for female

This is a huge insult to any woman that is good at their job.

In my team we hire the best. That means that any woman in my team is on average as good as any man in my team.

If we had quotas, that would mean that the men in my team are on average better than the women, since they pick the best of both segments, but one segment has way less candidates. How do those women feel to be places into the bucket of "filling seats"? How do project managers select who they want on their team? And then they cry that people are getting discriminated. Self fulfilling prophecy.
Let’s say it again, friends: the justice system is designed to protect capital.
>Your argument that "the US has no issues because Europe has issues" is typically known as "whataboutism".

Sorry, but wasn't grandparent's (u/allendoerfer) original post the one that started the whataboutism? I was just contradicting him with a mirrored whataboutism to prove why his way of thinking is wrong? Why are you only cherry picking mine?

The topic was regarding one of Germany's failure, and Grandparent (u/allendoerfer) posted something along the lines of "at least in Germany we have have breathable air and drinkable water unlike Americans who get shot instead".

What does that have to do with the Wirecard situation and how is that anything else but severe offtopic whataboutism?

I've had TVs with Android, LG's OS, Samsung's OS, etc... They all suck.

I currently have a really nice Sony with Android TV, but I had so many problems with the built-in Android that I plugged an nVidia Shield box into it instead and all those problems went away.

The other OS's all had their own issues, but the worst part of them was, like your Roku, the slowness. Everything is massively underpowered. Nobody wants to wait for the TV to slowly load apps when they want to be watching something.

In addition, other than Android, all of them tend to lag behind on updates after the initial launch of the each app.

So now I ignore whatever is on the TV and use an external box. I've considered FireTV and Roku again, but every time I look into them, I read about problems that I don't want to have (like this article) and so I stick with nVidia Shield boxes.

What helped me a lot is realizing that there will always be people who are better than you. It does not matter how much time, energy, and effort you put into something, the chances of achieving your dream job, become the best in sports, earn tons of money, become fluent in all languages, are very slim. There will always be people who are better than you, and comparing yourself with those people will make you feel "mediocre" automatically. So stop comparing yourself with others, it doesn't matter. Don't compare your current job with other jobs you could have, don't compare your salary with salaries you could have, don't compare your current girlfriend with girlfriends you could have. There will always be people better, smarter, richer, more charismatic or more lucky than you. And remember, most people are average by definition.

Instead, compare yourself to whom you were last year. Did you become better, wiser, more happy than you were before? If yes, you succeeded in life. You did not fail. If not, fix it. And very likely you can fix this by putting your expectations lower, because you aimed too high. But please, stop comparing yourself with others. It doesn't matter.
