> We aren't the ones creating an imagined reality.

One problem I see with this line of thinking is that it's often faux intellectualism, in the sense of not even attempting to define what a deity is in the first place, instead taking the lazy approach of "whatever you think god is doesn't exist". What exactly is a deity in the first place anyways? Bearded guy in the clouds? A lot of christians don't believe in that either. Jesus (i.e. a human)? A certain north korean leader that had similar godlike fame among followers most definitely existed (godhood claims notwithstanding). The holy spirit? Read "spirit" as you read "spirit of the law". Some flavors of pantheism actually argue that the concept of "an omnipotent omnipresent entity that nevertheless grants us free will" can be perfectly explained if said entity is the laws of physics.

As we can see, there's a pretty big spectrum ranging anywhere from strawmen to things that do exist. IMHO, proper atheism needs to be able to argue against the entire body of theism, not just narrow set of christian beliefs, and as such it's a belief system that doesn't fit many people. There's agnosticism (basically, "I don't know if god exists because the evidence doesn't convince me"), which is a much easier belief system to actually defend, and which I think describes more accurately the belief system that a lot of self-proclaimed atheists actually subscribe to.
The real sting for poor people and credit is the APR on cash advances and carried over debt from prior months which is akin (to me: in truth it is far less, but for dramatic effect) to illegal loan shark rates. Rich people avoid this by clearing the debt rigorously inside the time limits, and never use the card to advance cash. This can represent a 22% tax or worse.
That’s fair. Things that start out as a killer feature definitely have the potential to break out into wildly successful products/ecosystems. Instagram is a great example but I’d argue their early killer feature was even more similar to Clubhouse’s - being just photos without the rest of the noise of social media.

Maybe Clubhouse can find that spot that helps them benefit from not having the baggage of Twitter etc. but seems like they’ve been slow to capitalize while everyone else is catching up.
Atheism is actually a species of the gnostic heresy. Absolute certainty of the nonexistence of God is gnosis.
Well, it actually doesn't "mean" anything. I just needed to come up with an alias for the command, so I wouldn't need to type it out all the time.

No, they're right. And it's not just first nations people. Being a person-of-color in Canada is definitely no picnic as soon as you get out of the larger towns. I've seen quite a bit of this first hand and up close while living there.

In Tailscale, much like in SDN or SD-WAN, we think of the network in two parts, the control plane and the data plane.

The data plane is how the bulk of your packets get sent from one place to another, which in Tailscale is peer-to-peer (as long as your network is not completely blocking NAT traversal for some reason). Even if NAT traversal is blocked and we have to relay your data through the cloud (through our DERP network) to make it work, the data plane is still end-to-end encrypted using private keys that only exist on each node. The private keys never leave each node. The DERP servers are just relaying opaque byte streams, like any IP router would do.

On the other hand, the Tailscale control plane uses a central coordination service. It's used to exchange public keys and STUN information between nodes, but this is a tiny amount of information updated rarely (and therefore reasonably cheap for us to handle at scale). These public keys are not enough for an attacker (us or anyone else) to be able to decrypt your data traffic.

So when we say taildrop never sends your files through the cloud, that's because taildrop exists entirely inside the data plane, sending data through e2e encrypted tunnels that have already been established with the help of the coordination service, STUN, etc.

Because the coordination service is cheap for us to run, we can have a really generous Tailscale free plan without losing all our money. The paid plans are intended to be for "corporate network" situations where people want more centralized controls, audit trails, and so on.
I think in order to convince yourself to give your life for something, you have to have a religious belief in what you are making the sacrifice for (greater good, community, progeny, greatness of your leader, virtue of your country – or for money if you are a mercenary). That would identify the god of your religion
Perhaps, but the propaganda about “critical theories” comes from people who either don’t believe in the racist history of America or else think it’s good.
Any links to the trials?
It’s interesting that basically no evidence is presented for the focal narrative of the piece, just generalizations and subjective impressions. I think the author is one of the many people who mistook the partisan civility that resulted from, and whose fading remnants lasted a while past, the long period of realignment covering most of the mid-to-late 20th Century in which the two major parties were not well-aligned with the main ideological divides, so that neither could too-openly invoke them without risking internal schism, with an absence of intense ideological division.

There is a difference here.

Google has a very definite profit motive in selling ads on searches for a given companies product name that ranks higher in their monopoly search engine.

I can't see how ranking Files higher than Dropbox has any such profit motive. It's a free system utility that isn't even ad supported.

There’s not really a debate among linguists. No amount of Old Norse loan words can justify reclassifying English as North Germanic.

As far as grammar and syntax are concerned, Old Norse had some interesting effects such as influencing leveling of noun declensions but generally these are just simplifications of native English grammar and not imports from Norse (which had a full on conjugation system). The borrowing of certain Norse pronouns into English is probably one of the most extraordinary changes.

Another angle is to look at sound changes. English has shared sound changes with other West Germanic languages, while there are sound changes in North Germanic that English lacks. Compare the initial consonant cluster in West Germanic words for shield:

shield / schild (Dutch) / Schild (German)

Versus North Germanic:

skjold (Danish) / skjöldur (Icelandic) / skydda (Swedish)

There are some people who argue Middle English is a creole [1] due to the massive influences from Norman and Old Norse but to say it’s North Germanic (or even Romance?) is pretty incredible. The implication would be that the British Isles spoke a form of Old Norse which absorbed almost all the features of Old English, which is not what our written records show. My understanding is that even the creole theory is not widely accepted among linguists due to some features of creoles that are missing in English (e.g. standardization of irregular verbs, irregular plural nouns, …).

Can you share profound beliefs that you don't believe are religious in nature?

I know trivial beliefs e.g. today was 85º – we can agree that calling those religious would not be useful.

> Absolute certainty of the nonexistence of God is gnosis.

Absolute certainty of any spiritual truth is gnosis, but that of the nonexistence God is not one of the Gnostic heresies (which are specific heresies associated with the specific Gnostics, not a anything which happens to fit the definition of gnosiss.)

You can do some amazing things based on convention. In kube it's pretty common to use Services for service discovery. Essentially all a Service is is a smart DNS name that points to a collection of pods (netns). If you want to mirror that setup you can create a virtual bridge network setup the same docker-compose does which would let you have a container with a hostname of `database` and then `ping database` would resolve to the correct container. To match kube's conventions you could do this: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/serv...

Another thing you could do is generate environment variables similar to what kube does: https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/services-networking/serv...

> So if something is considered by people from different fields as true, then it likely is.

This is actually very unscientific, a good chunk of what we currently hold to be true within science disproved previous science. A good example of really strong, good and useful science that was later replaced is Newtonian mechanics.

In reality, science is never finished, but the prevailing view throughout time is "we have most of it figured out" and time and time again this is proven false. Hopefully it continues to be.

And it might not be comforting to confront, but yes, the vast majority of people's belief in science is not analytical or rational, it is dogmatic. It doesn't mean the particular scientific things people believe are wrong, but most people, even scientists themselves, hold a lot of beliefs dogmatically and the idea that it is rational is protection of the ego and comparable to belief in divine wisdom.

It is a very interesting case of perspective. It probably needs a bit of a perspective shift for the typical Twitter political influence to realise that they are, in fact, foreign political interference.

Not that there is anything wrong with American political thought being exported. Would that their methods of free political debate were a little bit more widespread. It is a pity that social media is such a biased sample of the US political world.
Why is it someone else's burden to do your basic research for you?

You're making the more outlandish claim -- that safety hasn't been proven -- and the burden is on you to produce your contrarian evidence.

Obviously you can't and won't do that if you're being contrary due to lack of evidence rather than abundance of it.
Nero was nasty.

But, when you look at a lot of the later Roman leaders, they make Nero look like a saint. Rome had a VERY nasty and bloody period of leadership succession in its later centuries.
Clubhouse is a case study on missed opportunities.

What were their biggest mistakes?

Violating GDPR and common-sense privacy norms by demanding access to users’ contact list?

Still not having a content discovery system?

Spamming users with notifications to the point that they disabled them?

Waiting a year to make an Android version?

Integrating with Twitter and Instagram instead of building a direct messaging system?

Building creepy features (you can see how recently your mutual followers have been online) before finding real product-market fit?

Making the founders and a16z partners the most popular users by encouraging new users to follow them by default?

Founders talking on the app for many hours every day, and getting VIP treatment in each room they were in?

Not having a way to listen to convos anonymously (especially a problem for public figures who get asked to comment whenever they join a room) ?

Not having recordings, effectively signaling that Clubhouse conversations are disposable?

Dismissing complaints from early users about poor moderation and harassment on the app?

Trying to “monetize” too early (they aren’t monetized, but they do let users tip each other; an odd feature to prioritize over content discovery or DMs) ?

Raising too much money?

Turning down Twitter’s $4B acquisition offer?

I made a practical choice to focus on the IBM PC compatible GUIs because I am most familiar with them and I think they are some of the most poorly known due to an assumption that Windows was always the dominant option. And yes, I think it's fair to say that Windows 1/2 failed due to its lackluster comparison to other DOS options---DOS had significant market share that should have made Windows a top competitor, but it was not, as DOS users were choosing other options.

That said, you are absolutely correct that there were multiple competing microcomputer platforms at the time and most of them had GUIs on offer.
Word of mouth is intrinsic virality, which is exactly how the early Twitch platform grew before it pivoted to streaming video.
One concern I have is how closely many people associate "rationality" with the "rationalist movement" (LessWrong, etc). Rationality has been discussed by philosophers for well over 2000 years. Aristotle famously declared that rationality was the feature that distinguished human beings from lesser animals. Most of those philosophers had radically different views from those of the contemporary "rationalist movement". Even today, many thinkers who radically disagree with the "rationalist movement" still believe in the importance of rationality, they just disagree with the "rationalist movement" on what actually counts as "rational".
Wow I did not know this! Sadly, it seems to be unstreamable in the US. I can't even find a decent torrent. It might as well not exist.
I strongly suggest that you take a good look at git-annex[0].

git-annex manages (possible very large) files and helps you to copy/move them between different storage location, e.g. usb sticks or hard drives (actually it supports far more than those). In your proposed scheme when you copy a file to a new location you must also copy the UID. This means that when you copy a file by traditional OS commands, your system will will not be able to recognize that the copies are actually identical. git-annex uses a smarter system because the unique identifier for a file is a hash of its contents. This means that it can detect if two files are identical or not[1].

In your description of a bin you have a name, description and tags as information about the bin. You only really need tags because they could be used to implement name and description. With git-annex you can add tags as metadata to each file [2].

git-annex is a great solution if you have many files stored in different locations.

Of course, but you can say this about any historical figure before the age of mass media. That's not a particularly insightful or novel criticism. What do we really know about Pericles, Alexander the Great, Tiberius? We have a handful of biographies that have been passed down, and you can accuse any of them of being propaganda.

The only thing which scares me terribly is that I'm NOT seeing any discussion of real-time problems.

Android has an absolutely shit audio stack. iOS simply destroys Android on this front.

Fixing that requires that you architect the entire kernel around making sure that you can service the audio stack in real-time with low latency.

The fact that I haven't seen even the slightest mention of this makes me worry that the Fuchsia folks haven't really learned any lessons from Android and are simply repeating the same mistakes.
The organization that he is part of isn’t hosting the video but embedding the video which was on Bret Weinstein’s podcast.

What is colourful about the Wikipedia entry exactly? He appears to be a credible physician who has a different opinion on what early data is showing on treatments that hasn’t gotten a lot of attention. The interview is interesting and addresses these controversies. This looks like part of the scientific process to me and it would be good to allow people to make counter arguments rather than dismissing anyone with a different opinion.
It’s long past time to start thinking about social media systems as publishing platforms, not communication platforms. You post things there and the companies decide whether or not they want to publish them. As much as we may want them to be neutral pipes like telephones, they are not, and complaining about it is just pissing in the wind. If you want a neutral pipe, use the telephone or email, not social media.
Fun fact: the tail—and most curious—part of the two-thousand-year-old foundational text of the world's most widespread religion, is a political pamphlet about how Neron is a horrible scumbag who needs to die. Only this pamphlet is masqueraded as a piece of the popular-at-the-time genre, apocalyptic visions and prophecies. Presumably so that the author's head wouldn't split from his body too soon.

A good way to find out how to think clearly would be to look for some of the rare people who are effective despite serious neurological or mental disorders and find out how they cope.

I remember in one of Oliver Sacks' books, he described a surgeon with Tourette's, which involves tics and involuntary outbursts, but somehow he managed to be perfectly steady in the operating room, and he also was a private pilot.
I don't mean to be rude, but I don't think you know what you are talking about here. The benefit a knuckleball gets from its lack of spin is unpredictability in its movement and not movement itself. Outside of the knuckleball, breaking pitches (i.e. pitches with the most movement) generally spin more than non-breaking pitches. For proof you can just take a look at the spin rate leaderboard[1]. Look how far you have to scroll down the list before you start seeing fastballs.

Restic is pretty great. I use it for backups at work and my personal backups too. The fact that it's encrypted makes it so I can use cloud storage without worrying about what happens if (when?) the cloud provider gets hacked. The reduplication allows me to have both incremental and full backups in one application. If you're comfortable on the command line then I recommend Restic without reservation.

If you're not comfortable on the command line then you may have to reach for another tool.

I've used SyncThing. It's good for keeping folders on multiple devices in sync, but they are NOT backups. Backups allow you to recover from accidental or malicious deletions and modifications. SyncThing will happily move those deletions and modifications to your other systems, so both are in-sync and both are wrong.
> incorporated in California instead of Delaware

This was my main point. They're incorporated in Delaware as well as incorporated in California. That way, they can look all hoity toity when it comes to paying their CA taxes while still enjoying the DE tax status many other corporations enjoy. On top of that, their tax attorneys also are some of the best at using the Double Irish method for avoiding global taxes.

Pointing to Apple as an example as a company that pays their share of taxes is missing the forest for the trees. Sure they pay a lot in taxes in CA (they're a MASSIVE employer in CA, they do a ton in sales, they own a lot of property, etc.) they're also pretty much doing as much as they possibly can to avoid paying taxes.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to apply a moral stance to this either way in this comment. Its just disengenious to try and paint them as a company that willingly pays their CA taxes while they're also the leading example of the Double Irish tax structure.
