> This specification describes SciFed, a standard for federation of scientific activities and content using ActivityPub. It is intended to be used in the context of the Activity Vocabulary and provides a vocabulary for activity types needed in the context of scientific exchanges.

It is from 2019, and probably from the OLKi project: https://framagit.org/synalp/olki/olki

Reading all the comments as someone who grew up on macs and only encountered windows much later on, all the comments here are quite amusing because it's rather clear that 95% of people commenting are windows users first who encountered mac later and wonder why it's not windows. To be fair, mac used to be pretty fringe so it's expected most people would build their mental models around windows traditions by the time they started using mac.
They don't care. Words are just a means to an end, a compliance tool that doesn't have to make any sense as long as it works on enough people, and enough people are willing to pat them on the head for repeating them. You're not talking to people who deal in principles, which is also why they're eerily unmoved by even the most glaring double-standards.

Given that the tool mentioned in this thread, rf, is written by Russ Cox, who works at Google, to help refactor go, a language developed and maintained by Google, how Google addresses these things feels not totally irrelevant.

I also think that "migration" and refactor are completely different concepts. And only the first is going to get you promoted (in the context of Google), because there's so much tooling for making even large refactoring relatively trivial. Pretty much every language has something like this, the build system also supports it too, so the process of, for example, taking a file, renaming it, querying and updating all dependencies (both source files and the build system), testing and sending out pull requests is essentially entirely automated. Unless there's something unique about a refactoring, it's not challenging enough to be promo-worthy.

One of the other things I keep thinking about, is that Apple created the iPhone and kickstarted the smartphone industry, they also effectively created the "App Store" way back when they first released the iPhone.

Therefore in my head when almost nobody was creating a decent App store and Apple did just that, there would not have been really any competitors at the time for Apple to consider opening up to.

If you create something that nobody else did, then years later when other industries create a similar product based on the success of yours. It seems silly to then be questioned about why you've never opened up to integrating with others. It is blatantly obvious that Apple have the better app store otherwise we wouldn't be complaining about the amount of leverage they have within the market. If Apple's app store was tiny and was filled with terrible ad ridden apps, we wouldn't be having this discussion in court, they would have gone out of business.

I mean, if you're looking at it at that level, it's just giving a "didn't pass" callback. A bad actor could just ignore that, and not care about it.

Without some sort of server side verification of the result, it doesn't really matter how difficult it is to script through the game itself. Even some crazy hard game in canvas isn't any more difficult for a bot to script around, if the server doesn't have any way of knowing anyone actually jumped through the hoop.
Personally, I view life as just a self-catalyzing reaction. There seems to be few if any hard rules for life because we seem to always find exceptions. The amount of chemical reactions available is near endless and combined with the sheer number of environments within the universe and there is bound to be other self-catalyzing reactions that could potentially turn into life. There are many reactions that we have no idea even exist because it requires slightly higher or lower pressure or unique atmospheres or environmental conditions that aren't common on Earth, but are common throughout the wider universe.
I think these tools hurt beginners a lot, personally. You have to learn R no matter what you use to plot, but if you want to use tidyverse you have to now learn that too, and the logic you learn there might not transfer over to the rest of R that you are gonna have to learn no matter what, and can lead to confusion. It doesn't help that stackoverflow uses R or tidyverse code interchangably and its up to the beginner to spend time figuring out what is what. I think it even adds to the notion I see, even here on HN in this thread, that R is some awkward unlearnable monstrous thing that has no place. It is that, when you start adding all these different packages and syntax conventions without thinking if your solution can be implemented trivially with base R. I find base R pretty similar to python with small caveats like you don't use loops and you apply functions instead.
You don't need virtual base dtor with smart pointers
Maybe that's how it works in America, but it doesn't mean it's the same everywhere. And given that the post was motivated by recent events in Europe it doesn't seem too relevant.

In Europe when you go through security no one checks your id. In fact most of the time when you fly inside Schengen with hand luggage only no one checks your id at all. But there definitely isn't something comparable to TSA that would have the information.

They broker the public key exchanges and IIRC the clients trust the broker when it claims that the previous key owner (definitely not Eve) has generated a new keypair. There is a setting (opt-in!) to even see when this occurs but once it does your oh-so-compliant client has already re-encrypted the old messages with the recipient's new pub key and sent them along. This behavior is by design.

Some folks will tell me "but it's end-to-end!" and it feels kinda like they're telling me that it's "what plants crave."

EDIT: if you don't believe me, turn on the setting, have a friend reinstall the app and watch the re-keying happen. It's indistinguishable from an attack unless you trust the broker. If you trust the broker, then why claim it's "end to end"? Also refer to the various articles that describe this behavior that WhatsApp says is by design.

Double EDIT: why is it this way by design? Because it would be a PITA if every time you replaced your lost phone your buddies got a warning that looked like "Either Dave has got a new phone or the NSA is attacking you. Resend ten years of hilarious memes and intimate conversations to whoever is on the other end?" Real cryptography comes with real inconveniences when you lose your keys. It's the same kind of headache with securing cryptocoins - if you lose the secrets you lose the money. Trusting an agent is the only way to escape, but it comes at a significant cost. Cryptocoin custodians like exchanges get attacked all the time. And communication broker/relays get lawful intercepts all the time.
The latter. The point being that they are trained, comfortable, and proficient in those scenarios and the same translates to a (consistent!) software delay of up to 10ms.

Ah, this argument.

Generally speaking, we’ve held as a society that the rights of free association are very strong, but not absolute. We only allow the government to abridge these rights when the state has a compelling interest in doing so.

Obviously you’re aware that we have decided as a society that there are certain “protected characteristics” that cannot be the deciding factor for free association, including race, religion, sex, among other things. These are selected due to their immutable nature (religion is a special case I’m not going to explain here), and we’ve decided that it’s worse for society that people be excluded from economic or social participation based on who they are than it is for the government to override the free association rights of those who wish to discriminate.

Political affiliation and speech is not a protected characteristic, because it is a choice. You can choose to not only change parties, but also change how you communicate such things. In fact, many institutions fundamentally demand the ability to exclude people based on their political affiliation, including primaries and political groups. We literally could not run a primary, caucus, or PAC without the ability to discriminate based on political affiliation.

To continue the metaphor, this is less like someone getting kicked out of a shop because of their race or gender, and more like getting kicked out for refusing to wear pants.
Yes, that seems to be how it is in SF.

Right. Also for hard realtime with 100% deadline guarantees (absence of soft and programming errors assumed, for a second) you would choose an appropriate CPU like the ARM Cortex-R series. You'd also take care of the peripherals, i.e. choose 801.2AS or even Flexray.
it's a good question, I always thought STDs were more infectious just because their direct route of transmission into the body with the large mucous bodies that are involved. Thinking about that recent term that's come up in COVID with viral load, it seems like with an STD you're opening the doors to a direct viral/bacterial load punch unlike the diffuse air transmission routes that drop like a mold spore and have to reproduce. I'm curious now when it comes to STDs is there any way to quantify just how much concentration/load shows up in body fluids and how potent the infectiousness would be for those fluids given that concentration.

But now that I think about it, I'm curious which cavities in the body present the widest mucosal surface areas if you cut and open them up and measure them. The pharynx, the throat, the anus and colons, the urethra, the vagina cervix and uterus, how do each of those measure out. I've heard the colon is susceptible to infection because of the large network of lymphatic tissue just on the otherside and because it's designed to absorb stuff being the last mile of the digestive tract where traces of anything left behind at that final stage and still useful can be absorbed by the body. The application of suppositories come to mind in this space.

Another angle might connect with the point brought up by the other individual about bacteria being a frequent origin of STDs, and bacteria generally share genetic material from what I understand. Maybe that bacteria to bacteria mingling is where the risk comes in?

I do not think that the current crime situation in San Francisco appeared by some fluke or an accident. Specific policies were put in place by the progressive government officials and progressive people in San Francisco voted for these policies. I think is a cautionary tale for the rest of the country on what happens when progressive utopia gets voted in.

Maya Numerals
This was used in one of the Discword novels (Soul Music):

Shortly before the Patrician came to power there was a terrible plague of rats. The city council countered it by offering twenty pence for every rat tail. This did, for a week or two, reduce the number of rats—and then people were suddenly queueing up with tails, the city treasury was being drained, and no one seemed to be doing much work. And there still seemed to be a lot of rats around. Lord Vetinari had listened carefully while the problem was explained, and had solved the thing with one memorable phrase which said a lot about him, about the folly of bounty offers, and about the natural instinct of Ankh-Morporkians in any situation involving money: “Tax the rat farms.”

In early 2020, before lockdown, I visited San Francisco as a tourist with my wife. We took a wrong turn at a book store and wound up on a street covered in feces. The next street was fine. Then on the next, we watched a homeless woman shoot up on the street. Then a supercar pulled into a garage.

I'm not the best traveled, I'll admit, so I can't compare SF to foreign cities. I'm a simple hillbilly from the Southeast, but I lived in NY for a time and I've visited most of the big cities in the US.

This was my third time in SF. Every time I've visited, since 2016 or so, I've collected another story like this.

The homeless are way more aggressive than they are in Chicago or Texan cities. The feces. The crime.

Now people are moving away. The author is in denial. San Francisco has nice weather and beautiful hills, but it is a really expensive shithole. A really, really expensive shithole.

Now look at the leadership in the city, and ask yourself, who is responsible for this?

I'm so glad I chose to live in Texas, but at this point I'd move to the Detroit area before San Francisco. At least the rent is good there.

In any case, the census data shows I'm not alone. I just hope the Californians moving to Texas don't vote for the same laws that made San Francisco such a hole.

Also, I've always refused to move to Silicon Valley, despite working in tech. I don't regret it.

This case depicts the global profit-pandemic. Profit before all, profit before people. People share the cost, companies share the profit.

This model will break. A treshold is reached, scientists revolt.

A similar case, recently, in Europe popped up in football / soccer. Supporters and players defy the creation of a Superleague focused on higher profits for a select few.

Profit-seeking eats the world. A healthy regulation is needed. People first, profit next would be a sustainable trade-off.
The Bible was originally in Greek/Latin which only the Clergy were trained in, not the language of the people (Vernacular). Democratizing access was a direct result of the printing press and was a very contentious part of the protestant reformation [1]. I wouldn't have specified "english" vernacular, but England, like the rest of Europe, has a very bloody history [2] here see "bloody" Mary and Henry VIII. Until eventually King James approved of what is known as the Kings James bible.

> The police officer said he was glad to have the license plate number but that robbery is so low-profile in the courts right now that even if they did catch him, without video proof, the thieves would be let go within a day or so.

So, the thieves go on to steal more - which adds up to costing victims hundreds of thousands of dollars whilst the thieves probably get a few thousands selling it to fences and second hand.

I'm a fairly left leaning, liberal person but this is the kind of stuff a decent city should crack down on - lots of small thefts does far more damage to society than a single bank robbery.
Tree-Shaking: A Reference Guide
I'm of the impression that it is an internet reimplemented on top of the internet that we are using right now.

So, you download a vm emulator, like uxn [0]. This able to use a specific protocol to reach out and communicate with other vm emulators of its kind. But, like the tls namespace, my vm doesn't just reach out to macwrite.com/index.html . It has to go through my switch, through a series of switches of my and other commercial ISP datacenters, until it reaches the server that manages 'com' and then finds the server with the webpage I want. But, that requires people to forward that traffic with their own vm emulators. So, Tlon, the organization that sponsors the urbit ecosystem, sold address space for 'galaxies', which are like the top level domains. They are expected/encouraged to lease out address space to many others, as 'stars', who will relay traffic up and down. Finally, laggards are expected to rent address space and subscribe for bandwidth from the star operators as a 'planet'. A vm without a star, a comet, to, I don't know, sign its traffic, can not communicate with other vms on the network. That is what I've concluded urbit is.

Urbit is sold as the opportunity to reimplement all of computing on top of this system. Like compilers ? They have a language they are building this stuff with. Like OS ? They need to flesh out the vm that you use. Like some application thing ? They probably need that too, reimplement all the things: text editor, web server, build system, and on and on. And you can be pretty sure that your work will be used, because it's a small community and they are apt to need your thing, and it can be a jewel that isn't carrying forty years of compatibility compromises [1] and exploration that was press ganged into production.

This is the underlying point of theft coverage: the realization that even if police investigate a case, they will likely be unable to get the stolen items back.
