I would like to see the collapse that you guys are seeing, I'll repeat this over and over again, the economic strength of the US is exceeding what should be possible under current economic conditions. For the last two decades the Fed was trying to "beat up" the US economy to "teach it a lesson" but it never even bothered to wake up as financial nukes were being detonated instead of using an alarm clock. Now we have Godzilla (corona virus) and the US economy is barely responding after it has been bombarded with stimulus checks.

Lots of things were done to "intentionally destroy" the US economy. The only way the US economy can fail from hyperinflation at this point is by physically destroying it and causing the production capacity of the US to go down, which means the US won't be able to meet foreign obligations denominated in foreign currencies.

The reason why I put the Feds actions in quotes is that its mission is not to destroy the economy, merely kick it out of bed.
I agree, ML is a tool that can be wielded in many ways. Another ML use would be to find new combinations of crops that work well together. We can have a "genetic algorithm" design gardens, with successful ideas being replicated in future gardens.

Right, I’m not arguing for using it, I’m pointing out that easy vertical alignment has existed in some form since the 90s, so why did it take so long for a semantic version to make it into CSS? (ie, not the display:table version in the sibling comment)
Oh, I misunderstood your comment, I believe. I took it to mean that the companies got into a craze about new requirements, not that they were welcoming the new requirements as it gave them some/more control over online publishing (which is how I understand your comment now, please correct me if I'm wrong).

I generally agree in that case, they were probably happy for that moat.

Because of DDT’s chemical properties it has the tendency to accumulate in animals. As animals lower on the food chain
are eaten by other animals higher up, DDT becomes concentrated in the fatty tissues of predators.

DDT was canceled because it persists in the environment, accumulates in fatty tissues, and can cause adverse health
effects on wildlife [1][2][3].

Edit: I want to mention again that the company responsible is Montrose Chemical Corporation of California. CEO is Samuel Rotrosen and they have gone to extensive lengths to scrub their Google and online search histories.

I use AndroidTV via an nVidia Shield TV box.

My TV actually has Android, but due to multiple problems that resulted in me having to reset my TV to factory and set everything up again, I went back to my older nVidia Shield.

We now have the Shield on both TVs in the house, and they both work great.

With all the Android phones out there, nobody is going to skip Android as a device when launching their service. (Unlike Roku, which is a decision they have to make.) They also tend to update their apps a lot more often, so you always end up with the latest bugfixes and improvements. And the number of users guarantees that bugs get reported and fixed.

It doesn't fit your "affordable" point, though. We're talking $200, not $30. I've had mine quite a few years, though, and it's been well worth it.
VGA mode 13h PC graphics on a relatively crisp computer CRT display still drew each of its 200 "scan lines" as a double fuzzy line, and a single pixel on it as a double fuzzy dot (more or less an isotropic Gaussian, despite what Smith says) or a double fuzzy dash. Superimposed on these fuzzy patterns you had the shadow-mask circular colored dots or the Trinitron colored rectangles. Sometimes you would also get echos or "ghosting", if there was an impedance mismatch or two in the analog signal path.

Later graphics cards in the 01990s would sometimes emulate CGA 320×200 and mode 13h by using more scan lines, giving pixels that looked more like little squares. Or, well, rectangles.
To be fair, UI applications on most platforms that are not Windows or Linux have a very similar problem, you can't simply block the event loop for a few seconds or the whole UI will freeze and the OS will most likely terminate the application (on mobile at last). Usually one can workaround this with threads, alas, threading in the browser environment opens up a whole new can of worms.

Asynchronous programming is a different coding mindset, and async-await provides a convenient hack/workaround/solution to go back to a simple linear execution flow (even if that's just an "illusion"). But this problem had been solved many decades ago on the OS level in UNIX and other multitasking operating systems already (and solved it much better, because async-await is essentially cooperative multitasking, like in Windows 3.x or classic MacOS).
Are you thinking of the CLIP adversarial attack where they wrote "iPhone" on a potato?

I don't think your number is accurate, at least not for western europe. Also you have to compare what you save in terms of purchase price (and electricity cost, because you drive a lighter car) with what it costs for renting over the lifetime of the car. The salary level doesn't really factor in directly.

The real reason more people don't do it, is that a car is a status symbol and most people like wasting money on it. Musk knows that and uses it for his PR. And of course still not many people are used to the new cost pattern of electric cars.
One of my physics professors used to make a joke every year about how we could read every athletics book written, but we would not start to win races until we hit the track (at some point he made a fun video of him studying “how to run” to show the first day of class).

I interpret this in a similar way. Reading F=ma means nothing, even if you know what each letter stands for, is understanding the consequences what gives you meaning.
> I don't know, sounds pretty political. Talk of this is probably banned at Basecamp.

I'm sure discrimination is banned at Basecamp.
> This is very interesting. I guess they mean any off campus rights

No, they mean any Constitutional rights.

> Many rights are clearly restricted on campus, including school events at any location.

To the extent that that is true, that’s not a waiver by the student. But while it allows considerable regulation, the limitation on free speech on schools is quite narrow.

> Yet we have plenty of laws which are also not strictly defined and they are upheld (so much for lenity).

Lenity is not absence of strict definition of what is prohibited, but government’s power to not fully prosecutr what is prohibited. Strict definition is about the boundary of what may be enforced.

> They do mention a test of whether the person can be punished off campus for the speech. They only investigate this from the standpoint of the team being "the government". They do not look into whether private teams punish students for similar issues, and thus if the school team requires the same customary practices to effectively function.

That’s because the government has no inherent right to do what private entities may do that trumps Constitutional limits on government. If cheerleading teams need things that exceed the legitimate power of government to function (which I doubt, but whatever), then the solution is for the government not to run cheerleading teams, not for thr government to assume unconstitutional powers.

> Essentially the same reasoning that schools are allowed to restrict other rights in the classroom - that they need the customary authority that comes with the implementation of activity (school, team, etc) because being restricted to only the role of government would make them an ineffective institution.

That is not the basis for the (fairly narrow, in the case of free speech) power of government to regulate conduct in schools beyond what it can do in other contexts.
How do you think these people travel to visit their families every couple of months ? They do 1000km per way trips with the car.

The average annual milage across the whole of the EU is 12,000Km per year, it's even lower in Eastern Europe.

Most people aren't making these sort of trips regularly.

You are an outlier.

> Sorry, but wasn't grandparent's 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 OP is making a trade-offs. They are arguing that they prefer the value proposition of living in Europe than that of living in the US. They don't seem to weight the downs of Europe or the pro's of the US much, so they are not mentioning them, which is IMO fair.

We can argue about these pros and cons, whether they missed some, whether we weight them differently, etc.

What I don't think is very helpful is just a straight "whataboutism" answer.

You, me, and the OP are all different. What's a good value proposition for the OP might be bad for you and me. That's ok. It does not make the OP "wrong".
The indieweb is what got me back in to blogging and RSS again. Being able to be social on the net without FB/Twitter has made being on the 'net fun again. Adding your feed to micro.blog even gives you a full-social modern social-experience, except it's completely powered by blogs and RSS.

There's still a bit of faff required to get setup (even with Wordpress), so I've been building what I hope will be a faff-free blogging engine ( http://tanzawa.blog ). It's finally gotten feature-complete enough for me to move my own blog it last week ( https://jamesvandyne.com ).

While I understand what you mean by self-referential and it is true that a lot of the economic activity in the crypto space is centered on crypto-assets, it's also becoming more and more connected to the real financial system. Stablecoins mirror real world currencies, synthetics mirror real world assets such as stocks. You have to keep in mind that decentralized finance currently only has 2 million wallets (so even less users) and has been around for less than 2 years. But the space is growing and tokenization of real world assets is increasingly common. [0]

Alchemix may be self-referential because it relies on crypto yields, but you could replicate its organizational model in the real world. It would be something like an overcollaterized hypothecation union with none of the overhead of the IT and employees. The way you can use the funds you get from your loan are also very much non-referential. Here [1], one user mentions several potential use cases from charity to crowdfunding.

I don't think there are DAOs outside of the crypto space, that does not make them less interesting as social experiments. Andre Cronje from iYearn recently introduced a decentralized payment system for the organization. [2] Even if its use is for a "self-referential" project, it's still fascinating to see how the relationship between wages, labor and consumers is being redefined in a model that is fundamentally different from that of the corporation.

Kleros is an arbitration layer, it has suffered from Ethereum gas prices recently (since it's meant to be a mean of primarily adjudicating small claims) but is very much active in development and user base. They've also developed a proof of humanity system as an extension to their arbitration offering. People have used the Kleros courts to contest payment of poorly done translation jobs and resolve ecommerce disputes. It may sound unimpressive, but at the size of ecommerce it's a potentially big market that would give any online retailer the opportunity to outsource their dispute resolution service.

Filecoin is used, although I'd say it still mainly serves crypto-savvy customers (I've used it for personal file storage as it's cheaper than s3). iExec has built projects with a number of corporate partners. I'll agree that the actual adoption is small compared to the valuation if you compare to real world companies, but that does not make the possibilities less interesting.

> Evolution is OK at adapting current things to new uses, or doing a massively parallel search on what you can do with just a tweak to a gene

I think evolution over longer timespans is the algorithm that keeps giving. In a single run it created all life and current technology. Evolution is radically open-ended, and that's how it gets around deceptive search spaces.

I upgraded and replaced the RAM, SSD, display and wifi card in my thinkpad. Wouldn’t have been able to do the same with a macbook.
> Shareholders don’t care about the reputation or quality of service of the company? That seems a stretch.

It is a stretch beyond what I am arguing. On the other hand, I don't think it is a stretch to say that you are arguing that every shareholder has quality and reputation concerns indistinguishable from that of the direct proprietor. I claim that that is what would be necessary for Friedman and Smith to be saying the same thing.
Europe will be a safer option than most others. Everywhere else will be a backwards step in terms of safety and education of your children. The US might seem like a better option for now with higher wages, but with the increase in the gap between rich and poor, how sure are you that your children will be on the rich side of that gap?

If you are a person of colour, even more reason to avoid the US. Not that Europe is perfect, but your chances of being shot by the police drop dramatically.
Switzerland, maybe Norway, maybe Iceland. Singapore? New Zealand or Australia? You must decide. Nordic countries are too cold for me. Swiss salaries for engineers weren’t that different from my German salary. The others too far. I settled down between Munich and Alps.

That's not what I'm saying. The problem is that a victim might ordinarily be willing to give cops her phone because it would help us to gather evidence early on that we can take action on quickly. With the "Special Victim Counsel", military cops often get turned down for reasons like "well we don't want all of her photos and other conversations to be used against her by the defense". This forces our hand to the point where all we're allowed to obtain are screenshots of the victim's messages or select content that she and her attorney decide on. By itself, limiting the conversations to just the specific, probative ones between her and the subject would be great, but when we also end up with only the content we can screenshot and send ourselves, it really makes the resulting exhibits seem shoddily-obtained.

My preference would be a process whereby cops run the Cellebrite extraction, then produce a report that's limited to the content the victim and her counsel agree to, like conversations between her and Bob, and conversations between her and Sally, but nothing more. This way, at least we have some data that is verifiable and detailed (would show the to/from numbers, contact info, times, etc).

These are consent-based searches, not warrantless.

That’s exactly what Firefox OS was. It didn’t work… at the time.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS
The concept rocks, so I really hope it will work and become popular.

A few remarks:

- the go get install is broken in the readme. I opened a ticket.

- since go cross compile, maybe you could provide binaries for Linux/Windows/Mac ? No need to go get, no need to install docker. That would open the door to include the tool in web frameworks.

Good luck, and thanks for sharing.
I hear you. But this battle is lost for a long time, isn't it? You already know, that if you allow CSS things will happen.

I would personally not do this if browsers would have sensible defaults, but IMO they don't. Mostly it is a matter of backward compatibility.

Also I'm using font:menu so theoretically the same as your browser is using. Depending on your browser/OS you can change the font for all, not ideal, but doable. Similar to how every browser has different settings for your preferred fonts. But in Firefox for example you can deselect "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of your selections above" and you're done.

I'm saying all this as a person wanting to implement a modern html-only browser to make all those obnoxious stylesheets go away.
When I last blogged regularly, which was ~20 years ago, I just commented on things I found interesting, projects I worked on, whatever. I have a blog currently that I'm still working on, but haven't posted to.

I didn't care about analytics, SEO, reader engagement or anything. I probably didn't even have readers, or if I did, just one or two. And it was fine, because blogging was just a form of creative expression. Now no one even considers blogging as anything but a marketing strategy, and what now fills the role of blogs are social media feeds. I have no idea how to restart blogging, even though I want to, but I can throw minutiae down the Twitter hole all day.

I don't know what to tell you, other than to actually be interested in and care about what you write about. Your interests are more important than the interests of your readers. If you don't care, they're not going to care.
