The best art isn't just a commodity or an object, it's an event with lasting cultural influence and impact.

A culture that stops making that kind of art - because "the markets" decree that cat videos generate higher short term returns - needs to ask itself whether that's really such a great metric for assessing real value.

What the EU didn't ask you wasn't whether you "wanted to be protected", it was whether you wanted a choice regarding being tracked or not. What's so upsetting about being offered a choice?

The party who is making "the solution worse than the problem" and implementing the obnoxious procedures for you to express your choice are the businesses who have the most to gain from blaming the EU on how terrible it is that they can no longer do it without the users' consent.

Have you actually looked at where most of the donations come from? They come from DEEP POCKETS.

In 2019, Google made $2 million contribution to the Wikimedia Endowment and another $1.1 million to the Wikimedia Foundation:

Wikipedia folks have done the exact opposite to "protect neutrality" and "bastions of free information". They openly block any edits of articles even when the said article is slandering someone as long as it fits the political narrative. And if one simply looked at their co-founder and other admin's twitter feed, one would realize that they don't care about "neutrality".
There is a lot of shitty software out there being sold for real money, while a lot of really good FOSS goes unmaintained and loveless.

I think the underlying problem is the same. People assume they don't need to support good stuff, because it's good and therefore somebody else must be supporting it already.
I see it the other way around, "available to every person in the world." is the epitome of something distributed, more so than distributing something "effectively", which implies making compromises. So albeit unrealistic the first one would be more inspiring to me.
It's really not difficult if you just consider what a dimension really represents...a degree of freedom. So a 4th spatial dimension for us would be as if each point in our 3d space had a hole at the center of it. The 4th dimension is inside of every point. Lets say this 4th dimension is not infinite and is only 1 meter long. Then each of these holes would be 1 meter deep. The 4th dimension is just the result of replacing each point in 3d space with a line.

If you start with a point, and you recursively replace all points (not just endpoints), with perpendicular lines (no overlap with existing points), you'll have a simple process that constructs higher and higher dimensions.

It's possible that gravity originates from a 4th spatial dimension and thus appears to be radiating outward isotropicly from the center of all matter.
I'll limit my criticism to what I'm familiar with: AFL (although I hear bad things about video replay in rugby and soccer as well, but that may be due to a reverse survivorship bias kinda situation).

AFL is a somewhat unique sport, and whilst the video replay system is admittedly improving, it's initial implementation was poorly thought-out: they didn't use cameras with high enough frames-per-second to actually catch the detail that was it's raison d'etre. From one frame to the next would miss the 'event' proving whether the ball was touched by a player, or rebounded off a post or whatever else may result in something other than a goal.

The fast pace of AFL also means that where video replays are used are in the, generally, less controversial sets of decisions that umpires have to make. Goal umpires have been pretty well vindicated by the video system, whilst it's traditionally been the quality of the field umpiring that gets questioned, but video replay is not, and cannot (due to the pace of the game) be used to remedy this.

I should say that I think cricket has got its various technologies nice and tight, along with tennis. But they're not pure video replays, they're additional technologies built on top of video.
The current economic system is in trouble because people save too much damn money, that money has to go somewhere, anywhere, otherwise you get unemployment and underemployment.

People seem to want these foundations to not only spend the absolute bare minimum but also don't like them paying their staff properly or even at all. So many times I've read people grumbling about expenses, only when you work out it out per employee it's completely reasonable for a small business let alone one of the largest brands in the world.
Well, even as a Swedish russophile I still have admit that they were spying quite heavily on us during the cold war, including with submarines.

Then lately there's Crimea, Donetsk and probably Georgia. Of course it's nowhere near to what the US and some of its allies have been doing, but it's not nothing.

Still, the narrative that Finland, or even Central European countries should be worried is absurd.

I think you're mistaken. Cryptocurrencies are anarcho-capitalist money. They're not economical or user friendly because that would mean they cannot be decentralised. Anarcho-capitalists are okay with that because for them their ideology is more important than practicality but the general public will never adopt a payments system that is more expensive and less practical than the alternatives.
You've made the right choice not to opensource and or support self-hosting options from day one.

What Oxford taught me about posh people
Working in a hospital setting is hard. Not just for doctors and nurses. It's a machine with many vital cogs, all trying to keep you alive. I once spent a couple of days working in an ICU -- monitoring the migration to a software system for patient records. The project ultimately failed, the tech wasn't ready, paper was more convenient. The things I saw, heard, and smelled during those couple of days, nearly 20 years ago, are still fresh in my memory.

You never want to end up in an ICU. But if you do end up there, know some of the most capable hands are looking after you.
>The worst part of cooperative games is that guy who just tells everyone what to do

I'm always conflicted when it comes to cooperative games because of this. The goal of the game is to win, and you have to win as a team. So debating decisions would be for the best.
It just never feels like much of a debate. One player spots the optimal move and points it out. You lose agency on your own turn. I certainly want to make my own moves to some extent. But of course I also want to win. Especially in how brutally difficult most of the cooperative games I have played are. Such as Eldritch Horror or whichever Warhammer Fantasy card game. Going against the group seems foolish.

Her job is to play tennis, not to answer inane questions from inane "reporters" about various things only half-related to her last game. I encourage you to take a public poll on this: how many people watch tennis for the game and how many watch tennis for the post-match interviews?
It is really fascinating how rapidly society has transformed on this issue. I have elderly relatives who are still parroting the notion that anywhere outside the West is having too many kids to have a stable population and that issue has been solved so well that countries are doing all they can to have more.
I support her right to at least try this.

At a minimum, I feel like maybe 3% of all fans identify as 'speaking to the media' as the insane crucible grind that it often is, and Naomi's stand should help put a spotlight on that.

I would like to at least go the route of something more humane like if you lose, you get at least the night off, and if you continue to win you get at least one night off, etc.

And I don't know if tennis lets fans get away w the same insane racist isht that the NBA lets fans get away with, but things like that could qualify a player for extra time away.
The most annoying (and ironical) aspect of cookie consent banners is that websites don't remember your consent choices if you're using a browser setting that doesn't store cookies (say incognito mode). Moreover most websites use consent banners for all website visitors (regardless of whether they are in the EU or not), making the web unusable for everyone in the world.

> Then again, given that Spotify’s annual revenues were last put at nearly £7bn while the per-stream rate it pays to artists is currently reckoned to be around 0.35p

This is quite disingenuous. Spotify pays out about 75% [1] of their revenue as royalties. That's better than for example the App store.

You can make the argument that they give too much to non-paying users or that subscriptions are too cheap, but comparing total revenue with payout per stream is utter nonsense.

If you're that close with someone, the best thing to do is to use syncthing to synchronise your Photos folder. Every photo you take ends in that folder, is synchronized to your partner's Photos folder, and they will see it as if they took it.
Add another syncthing to your computer and you can comfortably browse your photos there. Reorganize in albums from your computer if you want, and you will see the albums on the phone.

All of this is just using the base syncthing and doesn't require any technical skills. Backing up in the cloud needs more time and expertise, but after having done it myself and realizing I don't actually need it (a simple backup is enough, I don't need a web interface to do what I can do faster and more easily from a desktop app) and I can have encrypted backups instead. Bonus: if you're both on the same wifi the sharing is quasi-instantaneous and doesn't waste energy sending to a faraway server first
Not quite - there are a bunch of CS2K retirements listed there, which was the soft switch evolution of the DMS100. I'm personally a little sad about those retirements as my first professional job was on the small team at Nortel developing the prototype of a DMS100 call server controlling a packet switch fabric. We started with ATM but moved to Ethernet when it became clear that was going to be the packet fabric of choice. Still, it's had a good innings and they were fun times.
Thank you, that was informative.

If generic drugs have a different L:D ratio and L molecules have a different effect than D molecules, then surely the generic has a different effect and result than the brand name which would make or the other work better.

Mediawiki markup language is not efficiently parse-able and extremely complex with lots of bolted-on features, which is why it took ages for the visual editor to be implemented as a prototype and to iron out the bugs.

Very good article, my only objection is following:

"Still, three people die in the UK every day while waiting for an organ. It should be compulsory, unless a person refuses. Opt out, not opt in — like it is in other countries. If a person would accept an organ if they were dying, then they should register as an organ donor themselves. Who would rather die than accept an organ? Nobody should die waiting for a kidney that is buried in the ground, disintegrating."

My problem with opt in automatically is that it works ethically in ideal world, but there is a also other side of the coin. In our world number of "accidents" could increase so certain wealthy people and their family members would get organs from suitable "donors".
I am not implying that necessarily wealthy would do it on their own but, it is quite likely that certain black and gray market would be created. Similar like cases of stolen children during the birth, while doctors were pronouncing them as dead.

In the west it's common to take an overly reductive view and start throwing labels around as if they actually mean anything.

Wahhabist is not really actually something anyone would refer to themselves as. It seems to refer to really any Muslim group that has some links to Saudi Arabia which is a key player in the geopolitical arena of the Middle East.

Salafi is really anyone that would like to emulate the companions of the Prophet Muhammad and the immediate generation thereafter, Salaf meaning ancestors. This actually would have no more outward political ramifications than what has already been in Islam from the beginning, Islam is meant to encompass governance whether one would agree with that or not, it's part of the religion. Salafi would nearly exclusively refer to the Quran and Hadiths as their source.

I have seen the term thrown around as a label for individuals that have done terrible things but by all accounts were not even remotely close adherents to salafi like doctrine. It's not a political group it's more of a doctrine.

On the contrary, I think paralyzed is quite an accurate depiction of the effect of severe depression. Most people still don't consider mental conditions on par with physical conditions, but that's simply not true, those severe mental conditions' are the result of neurological damage in the brain. In that sense, the person is paralyzed just as you are as problems with his neurological system limited his movement. Spinal cord is also an important part of our neurological system, it's essentially the southbridge of our body, but wouldn't it be funny if we call southbridge damage resulted inability paralyzed, but CPU damage resulted inability not? I get your point where you think spinal cord injury is more physical, but those mental conditions can be just as physical.
If you dig into it a bit, you'll see the claim that Tedros is some sort of manchurian candidate is based on him having given a speech at Peking University and his reiteration of the WHO's support for the One China policy.

This is what the article they cite in support of the One China policy statement actually says:

> In a meeting with Li Bin, minister of China's National Health and Family Planning Commission, Tedros said the UN agency will properly handle the Taiwan-related issues based on the resolutions of the UN General Assembly and the World Health Assembly, the WHO's decision-making body.

>having to give interviews between every scene than a promotional tour.

Of course not literally between every scene but actors also have contractual obligations to get interviewed by media on the film set (during a break between scenes) to help build buzz. (Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rtnn6cktK18)

The main point of the analogy is not the frequency of the media obligations. The analogy is the contractual rules being known beforehand by a paid professional such as pro athletes or actors before participating. It seems very unprofessional to protest the rules after one already agreed to participate under those rules.

A lot of people are terrified of landmines. That's why there are treaties around the use of landmines, such as the Ottawa Treaty [0], which ban anti-personnel landmines. 164 countries have signed that treaty.

I don't like this "whataboutism".

In addition, while landmines are terrifying and deadly, they stay in one place. People generally don't need to fear them when going about their day. Drones on the other hand are mobile, they could fly into a city and kill people. They could fly on your property and kill you.

A few months ago I was doing research with a youchuber friend of mine and I noticed my country's highest grossing videos are comedy sketches with these pre-pubescent teens. Funny enough, most people with access to the internet are not teens since its prohibitively expensive. So who watches these videos? Head scratch. Working, grown men and women. Huh?

So no. Cat videos and memes and makeup tutorials will rule the internet till the end of its days.
So, a bit curious on how this factors in emotions and depth that could vary depending on the nature of the video [onboarding vs launch videos, say]? And, how to not run out of options for voice/person selection. It shouldn't end up being like the stock images (same faced used in multiple brands). How well of a brand identity gets maintained for say paying customers?
Funny cat videos can be shared and appreciated by millions instantly and share a common basis for conversation and internet/meme culture.

It might seem shallow and pointless but it's the human impact that really makes it valuable.

You can't lift the emotions of millions with a dozen pieces of art like the Salvator Mundi and the technical mastery of it can only be appreciated by those with an understanding of art.

The closest everyday people can get is listening to the story of DaVinci, and dreaming a little.
