My son plays games with a lot of meme activity and can demonstrate the act of inserting a small amount of misattributed and false information into a metastable system (game and players) causing a phase transition that changes the community.

Wow, I couldn't possibly disagree more with this. I have operated a small chat community of old friends and acquaintances for five years and I hang out and chat all the time, and it has become the most valuable community in my life, and blows regular social media completely out of the water.

Has it been completely without drama? No, but it costs a non-trivial amount of time and money to operate, and my only motivation is that we can be masters of our destiny and know we aren't being spied on

So no, I'm sorry, but my personal experience says that this article is completely incorrect on all counts

Maybe Rachel shouldn't participate and operate, but we're doing fine in my community

The logs of what emails were sent is probably stored by the email servers, as well as, probably, metadata about when emails were sent, if not to whom, is stored in the db unencrypted.
Having it always start with a 'city' is a bit weird in places in the west. I tested it east of Lake Abert in Oregon and it calls it 'Lakeview'. The random location is easily an hour drive from Lakeview.

For a scenic trip, start it near the 'headwaters' of the Owyhee river in SE Oregon, SW Idaho or Northern Nevada, which gets you the Owyhee, Snake and Columbia rivers.

My point is you can do both.

Make $7500/month from house value increase, and also, say, $4k from rent.

This increases the resale value since the house is generating income to the buyer.

YouTube already cannot delete the video. As mentioned in the article, Bin Laden had a copy of it on his hdd. How many other drives have a copy? Unlike the Mona Lisa postcards, these copies are just as good as the origin and I disagree that the YouTube URL is somehow important to the video's preservation.

Admittedly, the copyright situation is a bit less clear though. Presumably the video will become public domain at some point, at which time the Internet Archive can offer it as they already do for other out of copyright video.
Fully funding means they can put better governance in and throw the captain overboard if need be.
The claim is that they only store emails encrypted with a key for which they don't have the password.
Fascinating. After it’s deleted from YouTube, I wonder what searches for the video will show, and how long before we converge on some new copy as being the canonical link.
I have a revolutionary idea. Instead of writing Quote Unquote Great Works, we could use a symbol to denote the Quote (opening) and Unquote (closing) around the word or sentence, like $Great Works$. We could even use the quote symbol (") for this purpose, which is kind of neat.

It would look like this: "Great Works".

It's so crazy it might just work.

> Who has the right to tell me I must obey by some group's rules first (the union in this case)?

In principle, no one. The whole idea of a union is everyone wants the same thing and will refuse to work if these wants are not met. If people want different things, the union doesn't actually exist.

> But unions can't have special privileges granted by politicians, and unions must never be mandatory to join.

> Mandate to join an union is immoral.

I agree in principle but in practice things get ugly fast. For example, developed countries have immigrant workers whose legal presence in the country is conditional on their continued employment. Corporations have a huge amount of leverage against these workers and will probably exploit them. Their ability to exploit these people leads to significantly diminished power of unions. I just have no idea how they're supposed to solve this issue in a way that keeps these principles intact.
Exactly. And hopefully, such a subscription should be pretty easy for web developers to ask their employers for.

Not that that is a bad thing! I'm happy your working on it, but I don't think they or this will replace excel like tools until everyone decides to learn how to program instead of using an easy and familiar path.

Yes and?

Are we supposed to feel sorry for Russia? That this is somehow a sports game where who wins don't matter in the end?

Still yesterday it was revealed that Russia wanted to hire influencers to sow disinformation about vaccines. That's pretty much the lowest you can get without actually shooting people. (Without forgetting the attack on the Irish and New-Zealand health services - which while I don't think are gov. sponsored they're at least complicit)

So, sorry if I don't buy the "both-sides" blah blah blah.

"But the west does that to further their interests" those who don't further their interests are lame ducks (I'm sure Russia would love more than those). Yes, there are ethical considerations and I could go on and on about those.

It varies depending on the field but what matters more than university popularity is how you spend your time at said university.

I'm a CS student from a very small university myself (so apologies if this doesn't translate well for you), and I know several smart people from very small universities whose contributions to open source software, personal projects, and connections within the startup community and various other factors really pushed them ahead.

So spending time meeting people with similar interests and pursuing meaningful things in university is essential to your experience there.

Card payments are usually debt also?
I can understand avoiding a company due to a bad experience but that sounds like a rather general and rather restrictive conclusion. Did you mean bookeeping specifically, or payment handler, as they are somewhat different things?

For small businesses using a payment processor removes a massive barrier to market entry. Many small business hire real world external accountants to do their bookkeeping, so "avoiding actual work", would you avoid them as well? I do some work with the accounting & invoicing teams in our corporation and there is a LOT to take into account that would cripple a startup with only a handful of employees.

Bigger companies use services like Klarna not because they can't (often they have other payment methods as well and do their own bookkeeping), it's because customers like to use them and failing to use something like Klarna means their customers will shop elsewhere.
This is only valid for the U.S. though.

tangential thought, but related: I am, in general, a proponent of nuclear energy as a green alternative to whatever the hell we are doing today. But when I see such stories that humans manage to fuck up simple payment processing apps, still make errors while maintaining bridges, still manage to do hugely negligent screw-ups (most likely corrupt) in *cable cars maintenance*, I immediately think that it is imminent, that something will go wrong with such complex thing as a nuclear reactor and the price there is much bigger.
> what good is a superweapon if you don't tell anyone about it?

Off-topic, but that's a very big misconception, and also very common misconception. The bigger is the weapon, the more you gain to have it hidden not the other way around, moreover a superweapon like an H-bomb.

On-topic, it's very much clear that the COVID blame assignment is pretty much a proxy now for Western World's decision how to treat China now.

In case a smoking gun level proof is found, and it is any much blameable on Beijing, Western politicians will not be engaging China for the next 5-8 years, for sure.
Well, they also put a quarter mil into MDN.

Your given examples are absolutely irrelevant to the discussion. If I want to work for Uber there are 2 parties involved (me and Uber). And both of them want to work with each other. Your examples include just one party wanting something and using coercion on another party (except the example of taxes, which is a completely different subject all together).

Unlike on Windows where each drive has its own letter (so I don't think it's possible to create a path including all drives), in Linux the filesystem originates from "/" and any additional drives or network shares are "mounted" into folders within that parent filesystem, so recursively deleting everything from the parent would also affect everything else.

I'm afraid that talking about communism here is just derailing the discussion, for multiple reasons:

1- Communists aren't in power in Belarus (nor Russia)

2- Protasevich is not a communist

3- None of the discussion that's happening is about seizing the means of production

4- Being a neo-nazi is not bad because the word starts with a "N", it's bad because the ideology behind it advocates for racial conflict and ethnic cleansing.

I think about this whenever someone posts about yet another new immediate mode UI library, or a custom layout engine they’ve built on top of HTML canvas. Generally all these kind of approaches make your app invisible to screen readers.

The amount of work Apple, Google and others have put into making all this work is staggering, and life changing for people who are blind. Please don’t throw all that work away in your apps just because you think some UI toolkit is shiny.

The main thing I learned from (a link in) this article is that Bin Laden had Charlie Bit My Finger in his personal collection?!

> The al-Qaeda leader had a series of animated films on his hard drive including Antz, Cars, Chicken Little and The Three Musketeers.
There were also several YouTube videos, including a viral clip from the UK called "Charlie bit my finger" and videos about crocheting, including one entitled "How to crochet a flower". The role-playing computer game Final Fantasy VII was also on the computer.

FF VII is actually a really good choice if you’re stuck inside for months or years on end. I’m baffled as to how OBL came to understand that, though.
Absolutely. I don't like mandatory unions either. If all workers don't actually want the same thing, the union doesn't actually exist in the first place. In principle we shouldn't force it into existence by making them mandatory.

I recently read and enjoyed "Haft Peykar" by the poet Nizami. Although I guess that much of its original beauty is lost in translation, some the language and imagery remain striking nonetheless.

It seems that after years of trying to develop programming languages and architectures to have separation of concerns, with the business logic, the presentation logic, and the data storage separated (or even going to full-blown microservices), this just... bunches everything together?

I get the appeal for a small program that fits in your head, but for anything more complex I don't want the code to take care of everything in a single module/file.

In particular, INAV has problems with keeping the position of the horizon accurately, and usually thinks it's going straight while it's dramatically losing altitude. So, "all of the above", really.

The biggest issue is that this usually happens during automatic modes, which are things like "return to home", which you usually use when you've lost control or video and you really want RTH to work reliably. I can't risk a plane falling onto a car or person, so I use ArduPilot, whose auto modes are impressively accurate.

The creator of a thing can decide to remove their copy of it and not license it further.

Someone else can pay for a token that signifies... something. At the very least, that they've purchased a token. I'm not sure what more.

Although unlike the author I'm okay with only the people who were so into a "cute baby" level video that they downloaded it for retaining a copy. Popular media getting forgotten in the churn of history is rather normal and it's worked out okay so far.

Is your backend Java or C#? Your IDE description feels like Java w/ Eclipse or IntelliJ or C# w/ Visual Studio. I have similar experience to you. The "discoverability" of a large codebase is greatly increased by combining language with tooling. If you use Java with Maven-like dependency management (you can use Gradle these days if 'alergic' to Maven's pom.xml), the IDE will usually automatically download and "hook-up" source code. It is ridiculous how fast you can move between layers of (a) project code, (b) in-house libraries, (c) open source libraries, and (d) commercial closed-source libraries (decompile on the fly in 2021!). (I assume all the same can be done for C# w/ Visual Studio.)

To be fair, when I started my career, I worked on a massive C project that was pretty easy to navigate because it was a mono-repo with everything in one place. CTags could index 99% of what you needed, and the macros weren't out of control. (Part of the project was also C++, but written in the style of career C programmers who only wanted namespaces and trivial generics like vector and map! Again, very simple to navigate huge codebase.)

I'm still surprised in 2021 when someone asks me to move a Java class to a different package during a code review. My inner monologue says: "Really... do they still use a file browser? Just use the IDE to find it!"
I thought it was clear I wasn't judging anyone's personal use of archive.is or any other internet archive or slimmed-down reader-view—just remarking on the sharing of those links on a professional forum.
