The only solution Franck gave is to not re-package for any emotional reason he had. The Nix developers gave their reasons why they need to re-package. Franck just ignored everything and gave no reasons to justify his request.
I honestly don't understand the doom and gloom from this announcement, which essentially amounts to "leading VR platform tests new way for developers to monetize applications with personalized ad service". People seem to think this is Facebook injecting ads into games all willy nilly, when in fact it's just a platform for developers to add ads to their VR apps/games. If a developer can't make ends meet with a full up-front purchase price for their app/game, I'm totally supportive of them trying the ad-supported route. At the end of the day, I'm glad that Facebook/Oculus is giving developers access to this so that they can make their own choices regarding the monetization of their software.
No. Just look at the boomer generation.
When mortgages are expensive, down payments buy more. Except in the short-term it appears that falling interest rates simply raises the nominal price of housing until it reaches the buyers ability to pay the monthly price + down payment.

Increasing interest rates erodes buyers ability to borrow, which will require prices to fall.
This device seems specific to its particular task. I wonder about the strange construction technique of pseudo-integrated-circuits on mini PCBs. It's hard to imagine that Control Data would come up with that specifically for this device. If I come across any other CDC systems that use the same technique, it will be informative.

Chrome on Android shows incorrect (trimmed) domain name with no visual cue
https://ThisIsNotMyBankDomain.com/ and https://MyBankDomain.com/ would look exactly the same on the address bar in Chrome Android.

Number of characters trimmed is dependent on your device width.

Users can be easily tricked into opening longer incorrect phishing domains that would look exactly the same as original domains.

That's the key. I've noticed in places with universal health care, they tend to have more fun playgrounds. Because the owner knows they won't get sued for medical expenses.

That applies in general in places with universal healthcare. My friends who live in those places told me their car and home insurance are much cheaper than when they lived in the USA, because there is no risk of getting sued for medical expenses.

Why isn't there a bigger push to regulate the pernicious injection of ads into every aspect of society? There is regularly discussion about the dominance of big tech and often suggestions that we enshrine big tech as permanent fixtures into our life by designating them as necessary utilities that we pump into every home like running water, yet we rarely if ever hear any discussion of cracking down on ads, which are actually the primary source of power for big tech and also the source of all the things we hate most about them (tracking, behavior and demographic analysis, data collection, advertiser driven content agendas that result in bans etc). I wish this were more of a concern to the public.
SPE was needed at the time because everyone knew the Germans were like us, but needed a framework to say it.

It also opened up the idea the Japanese were like us too.

It allowed us to say what we believed and build on that.

It's not science. But science isn't the only way forward.
I think the issue with this announcement is that Blaston isn't a free game. Its a game that you pay for and it will now also shows you ads.
Our neighborhood is really good at this. As far as walkability and weather goes I hate it, but we know around 20-30 of or neighbors on a first name basis. And pre-pandemic we would have somewhat regular block parties where we would grill food and setup activities for kids.

We would like to move for other reasons, but what keeps us here is because you just never know what kind of neighbors you're going to get.

> Beyond automated proofs, zero-knowledge proofs are more about verification. Conveying ownership of artifacts rather than objectivity of knowledge.

Actually, zero-knowledge proofs are a completely orthogonal thing from ownership-vs-objective-properties. Any formal proof of a objective property (in particular, not "correctness") of a program (or really, any formal proof at all) can be transformed into a zero-knowledge proof of the same property by constructing O(N^2) permutations of the proof, committing to them via hash tree, then using the committed random seed to choose one step of each permutation to reveal. Conversely, non-zero-knowledge proofs of purely nominal/authorship properties are fairly trivial, though dubiously useful depending on how non-zero the knowledge is.

> Let me know if you can think of a clearer word than 'proof' for my desired category.

"Proof of objective properties" is the best that comes to mind, I'm afraid.
Here is a simple question: Why is there only one "Tor".

Why haven't there been more onion routing projects. (Maybe there have been and I am just not aware.)

Perhaps the same reason(s) we never saw widespread adoption of remote proxies, despite their usefulness in many situations.

Although in some respects onion routing seems quite an improvement over "simple" proxies.

Blackrock is buying homes to rent, right? If 90% of home buyers can afford $x per month, sure higher interest rates mean that the $x will have to include more interest, and the home prices drop.

However, that only matters if you sell a house. If you are buying houses to decrease housing supply, and increase the rental prices you shouldn't care about the interest rates.
This. Every reasonable statistic shows drivers paying less attention and more in a hurry.

Can you point to something good and useful in the Philosophie of Science? I mean let's say physics is as good as it gets (laws in mathematical language, strong experimental evidence, solid results); from my perspective a success. But it has nothing to do with how like popper imagines science. So insisting on like a popper process would also not be benificial for physics in my opinion. But probably there is better stuff, I just couldn't find it. (with a popper mindset nobody would understand why we still study 'falsified' theories like electrodynamics)
My first job out of college was at a magazine. The two editors there were in their 70s and notorious for being bullies (although for what it's worth, one of them mellowed out after their editorial assistant committed suicide). There wasn't a day when I wasn't yelled at repeatedly, and the taint seeped down, with everybody lower down the rung yelling at anybody below them. It was easily the most toxic environment that I've ever experienced, and I've worked in academia! People were breaking down in tears all the time. Ex editorial assistants would send in letters written in crayon from insane asylums. The funny thing was that instead of resenting their tormenters, most people adopted a very protective stance towards these editors, as if they were children. Sadly, the impression that I got was that a lot of other publications had similar problems--smart but extremely neurotic bosses who regularly demeaned their employees. This was in 2000, around the time when "The Devil Wears Prada" came out. The one upside was that it permanently scared me out of publishing, which turned out to be an excellent career choice.
> Why make a nuanced judgement when you risk getting a lawsuit by trying to be fair?

School policy has exactly 0 legal weight. It won't protect the school against a lawsuit. Maybe the low end of layers believe it, but there's a reason lawyer's compensation is bimodal.

But by the time school administrators figure this out, they are typically being offered an out-of-court settlement with a confidentiality clause.

I applied for Global Entry in 2017ish, and at the time it didn't use login.gov. I renewed my passport and had to update my passport number in the system this year, and that was my first exposure to login.gov. So sometime between 2017 and 2021, they started using login.gov.

The process for establishing identity for login.gov was frighteningly easy. It required something like my Global Entry ID and my full name only, and then it automatically connected with other details about me.
Fair point on the marketplace of marketplaces. Using taxpayer dollars and prisons to enforce a transparent and accountable market still rubs me the wrong way. Outright fraud (eg. a dishonest broker pocketing the $100 instead of purchasing the stock for his client), I have no problems prosecuting with the full force of the government. It’s the rules that provide an illusion of being something other than buyer beware that I chafe at the idea of government intervention.
Then label Gladwell's works as the fictions they are.
Blackrock? Look it's way simpler than that. Interest rates aren't going up, and will not be going up appreciably in 2023 or any other year, because we simply can not afford to pay higher interest on the debt.

He is a tenured professor, and his work on Racket is only tangentially related to what he's actually paid for. His research work doesn't rely on him leading the project or even being involved in it. He would presumably be very unhappy about being forced out of a leadership position, but that's about it.
If the local economic organisation doesn't feed everyone maybe it has issues... It's a question of priority.
It is not very difficult to have nearly no outages when the service has nearly no traffic.
Sure, but the probabilities are numbers too. Which is again sort of acknowledging the need to fit quantum mechanics into a numeric framework.

Imagine you were studying ice cream flavors. You might design a study like, "We'll ask a lot of people and the flavor that the most people prefer is the best." In other words, the metaprocess you use to design your experiment itself tacitly assumes you need a numeric result. The presumption of comparison and quantifying frames the questions you even think to ask.

But you can imagine an alternate culture that when studying ice cream flavors doesn't even ask questions with numeric answers. It could be, "We'll ask a lot of people to try flavors and write poems about the experience."

We wouldn't even call this "science". Because there is a hidden border around even the term that affects how we are able to evolve the scientific process.
Statistically, most people are living in India, Pakistan and China.

But in order to support the "add column" migration you have to add it to the base schema, right? It has to be materialized somewhere.

Now, when you remove a column, you just create a new view without it being available. But the column in the base schema must stay because: you support the old schema, and because you want to avoid the operational complexity of physically removing it, right?

Now, you can obviously split a table into a list of tables each storing the pk and some column value. But you have just invented columnar storage in a row-based rdbms :D

A different approach is to have scheduled maintenance window, for example quarterly or every 6 month when you materialize all the changes at once. The amortized operational cost is way lower :)
I think people are not happy about _how_ FB made it "economically viable" (by locking the system to tie in with an FB account and now by running ads).

Most people probably want to see a VR platform that can stand on its own profit mechanisms. Not something that is parasitically dependent on another platform's ad revenue (either directly with internal ads or indirectly via FB accounts). Instead of taking time to explore that (which is what many believed would happen after the acquisition), FB took the easy way out by bolting existing revenue systems on, which then in turn kills any motivation to explore options.

Similar kinds of worries always play out for technologies/platforms that are good but aren't profitable yet which then get acquired. Will the new owners help the technology stand on its own, or will they take the easy way out and treat it as a mechanism to bring new users onto their existing revenue stream.

Legislators: A handful of loud constituents are angry at a few big tech companies for... gosh, it seems like so many reasons. How can we punish the big ones? Yeah, the phone manufacturers, sure, that works.
Not yet.

Much of the world doesn’t yet have access to vaccine.

Let’s remind ourselves that, these technologies are products of decades of scientific effort funded by public. Many of these projects never pan out (public pays for risk). VC and private sector join only when technology is sufficiently mature, and will pocket the lion share of the profit. Even within the private sector, gains and risks of technology are not widely shared. This is how it works, but let’s get the credit assignment right.

Of course, technology also creates problems that are often passed to public (socialized risk, private profits), until the next iteration of the above process. Environmental damage is a case in point.

So, yes, science and technology are wonderful, but let’s share the productivity gains widely, and let us all contribute to the effort (directly, and through fair taxation and policies).
Wouldn't housing be a safe place to put assets in case negative interest rates are put in place like some countries? In Switzerland you will pay negative interest already on savings of 100k.

My point was simply that these aren't necessarily as universal as people might think, especially in a large multi-national community like open source. There's a fair amount of cultural variation on what's considered worthy of an apology and a CoC can be helpful simply by getting people to think about that up front rather than after something happens.

> I don't like giving cell phones to kids younger than 12 or 13 because childhood should be free of a lot of the technology we use today.

The future is technology. You're holding them back, socially and technology skills wise, if you wait until they're 13 to give them a cell phone.

I was fixing computers and was generally the house technology expert well before I was 13. To get to that point required unrestricted access to tech and the internet. If I was locked down until 13, I would not be as successful as I am today in tech, if I was in tech at all.
> For example, allowing police to arrest and charge a child for bad behavior at school (i.e. won't obey the teacher, outbursts - not for actually criminally violent behavior).

Are there any examples of this happening? I do not recall reading about any incident where police responded to a school where the cause was not due to physical violence.

If I was managing a school (or any other establishment), I would instruct staff that no one is to touch anyone outside of administering medical aid, for obvious liability reasons. In such cases, I can see it being necessary to call police if a child has to be physically moved or restrained.

I'm thinking an eighties workstation like a Sun 3. If you can find one, an SGI Indigo or early NeXT cube. Much closer to an Amiga than to a modern system, but even more funky and exotic hardware.

Another commenter asks, "have you ever punched someone in the face?" Well, I have, and on more than one occasion (no, I don't advocate it, either). This would not have been one of those occasions. It's not going to take him down a notch, it's not going to make him rethink his position. At best, your hand will hurt more than you thought it would, and you might even get arrested. But, hey, you won't have to worry about contributing to Racket anymore.

In this instance, I would have told Professor Ivory Tower to piss off until he wants to climb down to do some real work with the rest of us. Because some of us don't have all day to sit on our ass and pontificate about the failings of others. But that's me. Because all that stuff Professor Asshole said is stuff he's afraid people are saying about him. And that's going to sting more than a fist to the face.
So waiting a year and a half, buying in at a much lower price and then earning a much larger ongoing return on capital would be the smart play. You are arguing that Blackrock is stupid. Which is fine, but I don't believe that.
