I like the BSDs because I have a hope of understanding them. They're simple and well-documented, and make design choices I like. (For example, on a BSD I can use 'man -Otag=l ls' to go straight to the documentation for 'ls -l'. Try doing that reliably on Linux.)

"Most of the web uses google analytics, so its unavoidable when you visit a website."

I actually mentioned that. Just shim GA connections; this happens with most ad-blocking software, and I believe happens in Firefox's "strict" mode by default. It's really trivial.

"Most of the web's emails are routed through google; I remember reading a post about a guy who set up his own SMTP server and everything, but then realised that everyone he was contacting was using gmail anyway (can't find the post)."

Only true if the majority of people you converse with over email are boring.

"Every time you see an add that's served by google, that means that there's a google embed in the page your looking at."

Again, why would you ever look at an ad? That's a ludicrous idea.

"Also, what alternative is there for YouTube? there isn't a realistic competitor."

Bittorrent.

"If you have an android phone you're forced to use google play services."

Completely false. Android works fine without Google Play Services.

It terrifies me that we're asphyxiating ourselves and increased CO2 can seriously impair human cognition. At a global, population-level scale this is almost certainly statistically significant and it scares me that we could quite literally stupefy ourselves to the point of no return. We need to find solutions now before we're unable to stop ourselves from drowning in our own atmosphere.

Yeah, it's really cool that a company has done a good enough job in so many different areas that the other alternatives are often unambiguously worse.

If our global reaction to Covid is any guide, we'll ignore the warnings about Climate Change until they're undeniably upon us – at which point people will say, "how did no one warn us about this?" Unfortunately, barring any yet-to-be-invented technologies, by that point the worst effects will be irreversible.

I'd love to be wrong on this one. But the sky turned orange for a week last year, as wildfires tragically demolished entire communities just 35 minutes by car from where I sit. EPA didn't know how to classify the air quality. There were so many fires up and down the West Coast last year they started simply numbering them, or labeling them as whole collections. Here in the PNW we've had a shockingly hot and dry spring, with ominous implications for this summer.

I'll leave you with this: check out 'The Carbon Farming Solution'. It's an incredibly well-researched book. It's in my wheelhouse, but I think it would appeal to a lot of you here (and yes, I've mentioned it a bunch of times before.) It goes both wide and deep on many aspects of land-use change, and is sober and realistic in what we can hope to achieve through better land-stewardship, and rethinking our food system.

2: Please don't waste time arguing with me about how 'there have always been wildfires'. What we're facing now is incomparable to the annual burns that used to happen here hundreds of years ago – though prescribed burns to reduce fuel load are certainly something we should be trying to do.
If you want to have a range of applicable values for some CSS property or state-based styling, CSS-in-JS can be a good tool for expressing that as opposed to writing JS that updates some styling declaratively.

For example, I've used it on a personal app to allow adjusting the placement and opacity of controls. I prefer the CSS-in-JS approach because the code is simple to understand, I can reuse the code in multiple areas, and I can pass state to some function to generate the styling. I also imagine that I could also write some spec to support it, but it's not something that I plan on quite yet.

It's not a technique that I would use for ALL styling, but I think for the use-case I mentioned above, it works great.
There are at least a dozen companies you can buy water from and have it delivered to a giant storage tank made by at least 5 different companies. Or you could use a number of companies to dig a well for you.

I basically said that V lends itself better to this kind of development; and the modular, headerless structure gets less messy than C codebases.

I also said that while I was skeptical of V (I have read all the criticism many times and I was also critical of the language for the longest time), it lends itself relatively well to kernel development and I am generally having a good time developing Vinix, only encountering minor compiler-related issues here and there, mostly with inline assembly.

I also said that the language, by virtue of it currently being a relatively thin wrapper over plain C, resonates with me more as a C developer than somewhat similar alternatives like Zig or Rust.

Matter of opinions, really.
Do you think that governments are just going to start killing people just because they decided to live on a boat somewhere?

There are lots of things that many governments could do right now. But there is really very little reason for most governments to just start sinking ships, at random, even ships that aren't affiliated with a country that could protect them.

In practice, I would expect a sea steading "nation" to work out similar to any other tiny nation.

There are lots of tiny nations, around the world, but we don't see them getting nuked by the rest of the world, for no reason.

In some countries water distribution companies are not the same as the commercial suppliers, and you can freely contract your supply with any company you want.

The issue isn't that people are free to choose any email address. The problem is that Google effectively holds people hostage once they get involved with its ecosystem. And due to its sheer size and power, no one can afford to be banned by Google. And there's no real way to appeal. It's a rights regression of sorts.

You can as easily have the same problem with physical mail, but that doesn't confer an indefinite right to a particular physical address. I do encourage keeping backups of your email to reduce this risk -- at least you can search your records that way.

I keep going back and forth on this one. Right now I believe it's best to not fight against CSS and use it as it's meant to be used.

I try to focus on writing nice HTML often multiple relevant class names. Then later make things look the way I want in CSS.

I find it hard to think in CSS in translate that to HTML but a lot of developers I know tend to work that way.
You'd worry like your dad, and in the end your kid would still find its way like you did :)

Also, there's no use in regrets. Only lessons learned.
Here's another way to put it.

Up to a certain level you are taxed on what you EARN. Income tax is relatively progressive.

Beyond a certain point you cease to be taxed on what you earn. Instead you are taxed on what you SPEND. By this I mean, you have unrealized or non-repatriated money and you only realize those gains and pay taxes on what you need to cover your expenditure.

So if you gain $100m in a year but only spend $10m then you're only taxed on $10m and the other $90m probably grows tax free until you really need it. This might mean then that you're effectively paying a 4% total tax rate (40% of 10% of your income).

But it gets worse. Because of zero interest rates, there's no point in paying tax on that 10% either. Instead you borrow $10m at 1.5% interest secured by your unrealized gains. If your unrealized gains grow at more than your interest rate you're coming out ahead. The worst case is you're deferring your taxes for years. The best case is you're effectively deferring them forever, or at least until interest rates increase to the point where realizing the gains is cheaper than borrowing.
Where can I read comments/discussion about interesting topics like this without all the naysaying and snark? (honest question)
Finance? Crypto? Just software in general? Development of technologies that are somehow hampered by regulations in larger states, but not ethically questionable enough to get invaded over. Or, said research could itself be funded by a larger state.

Well whether it's Right-wing or Libertarian, it's still a political and ideological standpoint.
I don't think I've seen anyone get banned from any major platform for their political beliefs. It has always been for hate speech, inciting real-world violence, or spreading blatantly false misinformation that lead to incitements of violence (such as the unfounded claims that the election was stolen).

Funny how none of the Republicans pushing this censorship narrative batted an eye last summer when Facebook was taking down local BLM groups that called for violence.
Because bad faith arguments don't necessitate logical consistency.

Actually that is what is known as a red herring argument. Bringing up something unrelated saying that the original argument is invalidated because the same reasoning wasn’t applied to it is a common informal fallacy. Most legal documents have something related to severability which states that even if one part of the document is found to be unreasonable/illegal/illogical, it does not invalidate the rest of the document.
Yes: dynamic linking allow receiving OS security updates for any library.

With static linking you become responsible for:

- tracking down the dependencies used during a build

- track where the binary is deployed

- follow publishing of vulnerabilities affecting the libraries you used

- either backport security fixes, rebuild and deploy the binary or deploy a newer version hoping it does not break anything
There's a lot of wishful thinking around language learning. The idea that some part of it will "just happen" naturally is very appealing. The unfortunate reality is that you meed lots of practice at everything: speaking, listening, reading and writing.

> when people have very accessible choices of email providers and what they tie to it.

I think this point might have been true 15 or 20 years ago, but I suspect that it no longer is on either front:

* E-mail is increasingly non-federated and subject to Google's dictates w/r/t delivery guarantees, origin identification, &c. These aren't bad things; e-mail was a mess before Google started taking it seriously! But it does result in a sort of natural dominance: smaller providers have to play by Google's rules to ensure delivery; large institutions are less likely to debug delivery issues to smaller providers. In other words, I have to be willing to accept a certain amount of second-class treatment.

* It's been my experience that my ability to not tie things to my e-mail has diminished over the years. More recent government systems and financial accounts require a valid e-mail; e-mail + password is now the default setting for creating an account on most services. Even when my e-mail is strictly optional for a service, it frequently operates as a safety net (recovery codes, poor man's 2FA, &c). Put another way: my inbox is treated as the high-availability, high-reliability delivery mechanism.

Others have spoken to your other points, but as for this, yeah, exactly.

Does not really work that well, as far as I've seen. One is probably best off using an SDR to pick up the communications between the drone and the remote. It's a rather inexpensive solution, as well.

Microdoppler is promising for this as well, but that is likely astronomically out of the range of purchasing power for the average person.
I don't care about centralization or their tracking particularly much on their own. I don't like to use bad software. It bothers me, fundamentally. I naturally ended up far away from Google by virtue of not liking things that waste computational resources, which all of their software does, and has for years. This is the same reason I stopped using Windows and OS X. I like to use software that makes me feel good, and megabytes being wasted by tracking scripts and terrible Javascript frameworks does not make me feel good, so I avoid their standalone services and block their parasitic services.

However, email isn't really a good decentralized protocol. All federation fails at being meaningfully decentralized given enough time. There are great decentralized protocols; email is not one of them.

I was hoping for change when the world stopped during lockdowns last year. Like pulling your hand out of warm water after slowly acclimating to it previously then re-entering your hand in the water - the smog/pollution coming back with reopening could result in people experiencing an en-masse revolt to pollution and the things causing it. Or maybe it's too soon to see this effect - since viable alternatives are just coming along?
> but it’s the situation we have to deal with.

We're not going to deal with it. We're going to continue partying for another 200 years. Then we're all going to get woozy and stupid. Then the population will crater. I don't think humanity will go away entirely, but I don't see a reason to be optimistic about the next 500 or 1000 years. This is the peak.
