Exactly! The most important question is how much caffeine is there. They market them as "strong" or "mild" and then they have the "new" "strong" and then they added the strength indicator. One has 4/5 dots the other one has 2/3 dots. Why not disclose caffeine content and let me decide how strong that is? Every other time I switch which coffee I drink or when I drink at friends house I get either headache or sleepy because I cannot maintain my caffeine intake

That doesn't mean you're not being a jerk by going against someone's preferences.

If you invite people to a party, are you the jerk for telling the person you know to be vegan that by going to the party they consent to having to eat meat? Clearly, the vegan person could simply not go to the party and not consent to it, but it still kinda makes you a jerk for even making this a problem, you could have either made a vegan meal or not invite them (and inform them why if they're a close friend maybe).

> By far the biggest problem — and the trickiest to solve — points to machine learning’s Catch-22: There are few large, diverse data sets to train and validate a new tool on, and many of those that do exist are kept confidential for legal or business reasons.

This is exactly my sense of the problem. Not saying that this is the only problem, just that this seems like the biggest immediate problem.

There are a bunch of questionable ML startups that try to do something with, say, a model trained on ImageNet. You can get pretty far starting with ImageNet. ImageNet was made with Mechanical Turk, but there is no Mechanical Turk for radiologists. If you work really hard you might get patient & treatment notes but interpreting those notes presents its own problem.
I am currently hating the mobile Safari changes, alas. I love the idea of moving the address bar to the bottom because it's just easier to get to but ... you tap on it and it jumps to the top where it used to be. Then when you've got to a page, the address is right on top of the Home Bar which, I thought, you were supposed to avoid placing clickable items because the damn Home Bar gets in the way.

Also when you click the bottom address bar, it removes the page content in favour of your favourites. Really stupid if you're trying to go to/search something that you've seen in the page content.

Also, also, if you swipe the bottom address bar to change tabs - a really nice feature! - it disappears after a second or two (sometimes before the content has fully loaded) which means you then have to tap in a different place for it to come back.

Death by a thousand UX stupidities.

Give it a try, then.

0. GPG implicitly trusts your key.

1. GPG trusts keys you've signed.

2. GPG can also trust keys signed by people you trust.

And that's where it ends, normally.

So say you want to verify the signature on the Tor browser. So have you met the key holder directly and signed their key? #1 failed. Do you know anybody who signed the Tor key? #2 failed. You can't properly verify it.

Actually, GPG allows the chain to extend for longer. You can verify a You -> Alice -> Bob -> Carol chain. The problem is that standard GPG doesn't have any easy way for you to find about Bob. You know Alice, you can find the content signed by Carol, but you may lack Bob's key.

You can find it out by hand, by getting Carol's key, finding who signed it, and downloading all those keys hoping somebody you know signed one of those.

That's the easy scenario, if you extend this to another step, that is, You -> Alice -> Bob -> Carol -> Dave, it gets even more annoying.

And besides not being user friendly, it turns out that GPG sucks at dealing with large key databases, so mass-downloading keys in hopes of finding a connection tends to noticeably degrade performance.

> Nothing wrong with inhibiting growth in return for long term stability

For long-term plans to pay off, they must survive a series of short terms. Criminal gangs and dictators don’t ignore the long term because they’re stupid. They ignore them because they must. A drug gang practicing classical tradecraft would be decimated by one coördinating electronically. The latter will be caught faster. But a series of short-term motivated actors is the equilibrium state of illicit and physical trading systems.

Facts related to the atrocities committed during his rule. The current sentiment does not really tell how the future will look at the events.

Russians have monuments that praise the rulers that were ruthless and brutally destructive towards the human spirit and it's been less than 100 years ago since these events happened.

Just because current rule in Europe/Germany finds him horrible it does not mean that in 200 years these events will be looked at with the same eyes.

>is hiring a freelance/contract editor not an option?

That is an option for sure and I've read a few self published authors mentioning that in their experiences too.

Not for me though for various reasons. I'm happy with what I've earned so far (which only works because of where and how I live, to be put it roughly I need about $150 per month). Last year was good but less than average so far this year. If I consistently get good earnings, I'll look into getting better covers, etc.
Fair on both points. The “also” is misplaced as most users have zero problem with Signal processing their contacts. And “shot their credibility” was hyperbole. “Severely damaged, albeit repairably” is more accurate.

I can have empathy with the Replit CEO. I've had projects where strangers from the internet started to "friendly-copy"/fork things I either had talked about or that I straight out did. I didn't speak up and I ended up feeling super discouraged to continue the copied project. In the end neither the copycat nor I had success. But had he collaborated instead of doing his own thing, things would be different now.

I get it, threatening with legal action is harsh. This blog post on the other hand is also not nice. For me personally, I'd rather not engage with either of the two as they seem to not being able to manage a professional conflict without spilling it publicly.

I don't think he necessarily needed to say that - he can apologize for poor behavior without trying to reassert his moral/ethical stand in every public-facing comment (here, on Twitter).

Taking the analogy of the punch/stab example from one of the cousin comments above, it would be really strange for people to believe that because you apologized for retaliating the original act of getting punched was blameless.

Of course the analogy of physical violence is more explicit, less vague, less nuanced than the context of IP. If he wants to explain/assert his moral/philosophical ideas on IP, then it should be done separately in a more nuanced, detailed manner than what he's been doing all this while, which is acting out in retaliation of a seemingly small threat.

This also shows insecurity/weakness. He could have acted as/been the bigger person but gave up on it on every turn.

In an ideal world, yes. In practice, that's impossible to do up front, so the next best thing would be open formats - i.e. openly and fully documented ones. The goal is to break the leverage a vendor has over the users when using a closed, proprietary format.
The internet is full of them but my favourite source is just the raw data. Look at case graphs for different regions. Look at the dates when mask mandates were added and removed. There should be very sharp, inorganic looking drops and spikes but there are none.

Many people have put together the charts with arrows indicating the dates when things changed, for example

https://rationalground.com/mask-charts/

That site is old now but there have been many since.

You can also find plenty of studies saying the same of course, but you can also find studies saying the opposite - academic research has failed on this topic. Fortunately the question in simple, so you don't need any research papers to see the truth: mask mandates do not work because if they worked, we could see it in the graphs, and we can't.

But "peer reviewed evidence" is frequently either wrong, or irrelevant (e.g. lab studies without external validity), or both. The whole discussion here is that scientists have been engaged in political manipulations since the start.

Mask mandates don't work. If they did then the removal of masks would have caused a noticeable spike in cases in Texas, to pick just one example of many. The complete uselessness of masks has been "debunked" in the same vein the lab leak theory was "debunked" - a bunch of people asserting that scientists cannot be wrong, even as they say things that are clearly and very obviously wrong. Anyone can see the truth just by looking at government data sets for a while. It is ridiculous that people still aren't learning to think for themselves, even after all that's happened.
I’m sure if they could kill global phone networks with FaceTime for everyone they would, but I think that they’re solving spam by blocking any device that spans using a serial number or secure UUID or something that iOS can’t fake, rooted or unroofed — but their web solution can’t access such data to provide a hardware-baked identifier to ban for spamming.

> To take that and open source the secret sauce of a fragile startup in a competitive market..

i think that's absolute bollocks.

Replit is not the first to pioneer running code online nor is the open-source project the secret sauce.

The open-source project seems to be a toy he built for satisfying his own curiosity, not scalable beyond a single-server. Something that the guy admits can be brought down by a fork bomb. it has no user-accounts, no sharing features, no persistance -- nothing that makes it the "secret sauce".

To quote the blog,

>Replit’s core value proposition isn’t letting you run code online (you can do this in dozens of places for free), it’s the features they offer on top of running code.

Running code online is not a novel idea that Replit came up with. It's the rest that made it appealing.

Michel Houellebecq:“progress is self-destruction”
No, we are not really dealing with a “French suicide” — to evoke the title of Eric Zemmour’s book — but a Western suicide or rather a suicide of modernity, since Asian countries are not spared. What is specifically, authentically French is the awareness of this suicide. But if we consent to set aside for a moment the particular case of France (and really it would be wise to do so), the conclusion becomes crystal clear: the inevitable consequence of what we call progress (at all levels, economic, political, scientific, technological) is self-destruction.

Why are everyone focusing on just putting the common keys in the most accessible places?

I still haven't found a layout that was quite as efficient for me as the Capewell layout: http://www.michaelcapewell.com/projects/keyboard/index.htm#T...

No other layout focuses of comfortable combos in the same way. I had to make some adaptions for Swedish, but the umlaut vowels are not common anyway. I comfortable got up to about 100wpm with it, which is my about what I do on Dvorak (svdvorak, the true Swedish Dvorak layout). It just feels more fluent and relaxed than any other layout I tried.

I ended up going back to svdvorak due to regular us Dvorak being available everywhere.

Oppressive is that which seeks removes your positive freedoms. Positive freedoms should be fairly uncontroversial, things like freedom of opinion, freedom to bodily autonomy, freedom to seek work, freedom to basic living conditions etc.

To ensure they don't become politicized, any new positive freedom should require a 2/3rds approval by the government (and for the people in the US that means you need to figure out multi-party or this is gonna suck) and removing a positive freedom would require 3/4th approval by the government.

The procedures and laws should be handled and drafted by a separated government branch, which is dedicated to protecting the freedoms granted by the constitution (as well as protecting the constitution of your country itself). They substitute prosecution in case of violations but do have to go through the same courts as everyone else.

To ensure that this doesn't escalate for person-on-person disputes, generally they should only prosecute those who are threatening to oppress or have oppressed a group of people or a person for being part of a group of people under protection from the constitution (like their sex, gender, economic background or skin color).

These are things that vim modes often get wrong and that I find myself missing when I use them.
