Bullshit. CNN is in the tank for the corporate wing of the Democratic party.

> A lot of the blame for trump gaining acceptance as a viable voting option belongs to CNN for *uncritically promoting* him and giving him coverage.

Absolute bullshit. You believe CNN was pro-Trump in 2015/2016? Every single story/show was about how terrible he is.

I think you're the one with a false version of reality if you believe CNN was/is pro-Trump.

> I think that people have a tendency to underestimate the degree of Christian influence on their way of life

People are like fish, they often don't know what water is. They don't realize that their views are usually defections (of defections of...) from Christianity and therefore essentially Christian heresies. In similar fashion, Christmas is first and foremost a religious holiday. The secular version is neuters and changes the original to better conform with secular expectations while trading on the energy and raison d'etre of the original in some weird way. If you think about it, the secular version drained of the original religious content is ridiculously stupid, like all those Soviet attempts to create substitutes for the originals. Call it an idol that will one day fade because Christmas is not very sustainable when cut from its life giving root for very long.
And before internet, you wrote letters to your parents to let them know how "camp" was. Or to your friends when you moved away or vacation letters when you're travelling or send a postcard to wish happy birthday.

It just got easier and quicker. But in general, people won't put their private life on display, just what they want to share and "impress" with or nag about.

If you want to see damage to lives where things get shared in public, it's something like revenge p** where the government will protect the victim through the legal system and their actual private life was shared by harmful actors.
Good point. I guess it depends on what kind of break you want...
> What about clothes, cars, furniture, electronics, schools, hospitals, medical equipment?

Not all jobs are unnecessary, but there are jobs that are more important than others. There are a lot of jobs people wish they would not work or that they think nothing would change if they did not work those jobs. Just read about David Graeber and his book, Bullshit Jobs.

Just imagine all the workers in fast food. Look around and you will see a lot of people working jobs when they could spend time at university instead. You only listed the best jobs. People who work in insurance, sales, fast food, uber drivers, food delivery, clothing shops, etc.

> Let's just print more money and give it to everyone. Problem solved.

That's already what happens when there are bailouts. Giving money to people instead of giving it to the banks makes more sense.

I'm not saying that everybody should quit their jobs, I'm just saying that once you raise unemployment benefits, you will see a lot of wage slave quit their jobs and nothing will change.

This is me. FIRE was one of the dreams / goals from many years ago. I'm technically able to retire now but I'm still working. A few reasons I think:

1) Sense of (in)security. There is the thought of, what if my investments lose a lot of value. What if costs suddenly go up. So the number keeps shifting up. Just another x dollars and I'll retire.

2) As I get older, the thought of retiring is also starting to lose appeal. Life's priorities change and preferences change. I wanted to be able to not work and travel the world. Now that sounds some what exhausting and unanchored. Personal situation also comes into play. Single vs those in relationships. Will the partner welcome the FIRE lifestyle etc.

3) There is a bit of how society will view a 30 something with no job and no plans to get a job.

This is one of these laws, on itself it bad, but people will not realize, because they're - ironically - too busy on their phones on social media....

Nobody will go protest in the streets over this.

But a couple 100 single of these shenanigans and the people will ask themselves how we ended up in this mess, and everyone will jump on the divide train and blame the "other" party, when it's really equally distributed usually.

Testimony to that is that nobody opposed this hard enough to bring it down.

The only bright side to this is, it appears the governments cannot easily access all things, despite five eyes and international collaboration.

I find if a case is bad enough for a warrant, then maybe deploying a keylogger or similar would be the better way. At least then it's handled by a specialist.

I went from a traditional (tank) gas water heater to a tankless gas water heater in my townhouse. I don't have any complaints about the performance of the water heater itself, but the process was a pain and I have had complaints from my neighbors about the gas smell when the water heater kicks on.

Your mileage will almost certainly vary, but in my case the upgrade to a tankless water heater meant that the max gas draw for my house (if the water heater, furnace, stove and gas fireplace were all firing at once) would exceed the existing gas service to my house. So I had to get the gas company out to upgrade my service, which meant having the existing utility lines located multiple times (as the first markings washed away by the time the gas company came out), and I had bits of my yard dug up, etc. I also had to have county inspection folks come visit, and coordinate that with the plumber, etc.

The exhaust for my water heater is right next to the border with my neighbor's townhouse, and they've got a deck at right about that level. And it turns out when a tankless water heater kicks on, the gas comes on for a second and then it ignites, pushing a small amount of unburned gas out the exhaust. My neighbors occasionally catch a whiff of that, and I've had to have the installer visit and get on the phone with the water heater manufacturer (Rinnai) to reassure them that everything is safe and working correctly.

All told, if I knew then what I know now, I would have just gotten a new tank water heater - and I'm sure the entire process would have been over and done in a day, with no damage to the lawn or skittish neighbors. The guy who installed my water heater was a nice guy but I would have been happier meeting him once rather than a half dozen times.

But if you wouldn't have to have upgrade your gas service or aren't worried about the exhaust location - by all means, join me in having infinite hot water!
Just because you and him are both ignorant on political philosophy, doesn't mean that they know anything.

Crypto is the thinking person's equivalent of an MLM.

Fiat works because a government for and by the people backs it. The government provides protection, services, and a means for the citizens to be productive.

Crypto provides none of this. Only a pyramid shape for the early adopters to get rich off the latecomers.

Nobody elects crypto whales or maintainers. You can't force them out of office. That's a bad structure for society.

Crypto is far from equitable and democratized. It's just a bunch of "finance bros" with code and cryptography, and all the power is at the top. It even lacks the release valves that fiat has.

This is a huge point. Google is funny in how inconsistent their messaging is.

I feel that they have neat product ideas, but organizationally maybe the are oriented around engineering lines, so product might lack focus, and product marketing is an afterthought.

Remember Google+ ? Nobody knew what it was.

Remember Wave? Nobody really knew what it did.

How does the biggest company on earth fail to understand how to communicate basic things?

This product page has way too much text, and not nearly enough 'what it is' 'what it can do' and especially 'why'.

> for those who no longer wish to work

> to those who don't wish to work

> those who choose not to work at all

> the same for working and for doing nothing, that people choose the latter

You're making my point for me with the arbeit macht frei dog-whistles here. So let me be clear: if "work" is defined as "millions of white and blue collar professional lives before Covid, lives replete with Kafka-esque meaninglessness in the former group and actual, medieval misery in the latter", then what I am saying is:

1. Yes guy, exactly: people no longer wish to "work", by that definition.

2. This is a good and deeply hopeful thing.

A society that's serious about human flourishing will grapple with these questions on a deeper level than "what's the unemployment rate?" or "should Amazon be lauded for 'creating jobs?'" Covid has forced us to grapple with them.

The usual Cato Institute talking points all involve pointing at the poor and moralizing about how they don't want to work, but comments like yours hold less and less water as time passes, largely because of shit like Covid. The notion - your notion - that there's an enormous class of people out there who are nothing but shiftless layabouts who fundamentally want to leech off of the rest of us is a strawman. While I'm sure there's a parasite or two out there, human beings of every class find deep meaning in labor. But the labor has to be meaningful!! Or, at least, not soul-crushing or immiserating. (And let's not even get into the really fun side-claim I'd make that there are proportionally way more parasites at the top of the socioeconomic pile than the bottom.)

So: to the extent that anyone doesn't want to work, they don't want to work because the labor available to them is innovatively life-ruining and in most cases vastly underpaid. To want to work in such conditions when there are suddenly alternative choices, as you imply they should, is to be deeply ill. Actually insane. And more of a reflection of where your heart is than anything else.

Nope, not even close. Even if we are pretend that all wrestling fans were completely unaware that the WWF was scripted, that ended in Montreal in 1997 when Vince McMahon forced the belt off of Brett Hart. He didn't change the name of the company until 2002. Even before that, Vince declared it was all a work because he was tired of being under the thumb of various athletic and boxing commissions. His people did steroids and he wasn't going to stop them.
I fear that this trend will end up hurting a large percentage of the people that buy fully into this trend. The ideal, from my perspective, would be a shift in how business as usual is conducted, not a wholesale rejection of it. We are just coming out of an extreme period and I feel like some of this reaction is just rebound that could end up hurting many people.

At my company we are trying to use this sentiment to shift to a mix of the old work from the office full time (with flexible policies about WFH as needed) to a more hybrid approach where we will still provide for a solid collaborative in-person environment while baking in even more flexibility for managing your WFH needs (maybe in office 3 days a week with WFH available 2 days a week... still trying to figure out the right balance).

I'm sure we will still have at least a little attrition but suspect this will leave us with a stronger than ever core (while allowing those that leave to try to find something more suitable to their needs... but again, I worry about this ending up the case for them).
> You're expecting an entirely unrelated community of users to be invested in the goals and interests of NixOS.

Nope.

I'm expecting an open-source community to adhere to the intent of open-source, which is to provide software in a freely redistributable way to that puts users first in contrast to traditional Berne-convention-based IP approaches focused on author protection & remuneration
above user utility.

Any community placing authors as dictators of the distribution of their work at the expense of users are not aligned with open-source in intent.

That's a perfectly reasonable stance if you have no interest in open-source: everyone is entitled to release closed-source software if they prefer.

I thought along that route as well but I'm not sure how the feature scale of a fuse compares to the size of a flash cell - especially since the latter can contain multiple bits worth of info (MLC). Assuming the fuse write results in a serious physical state change of some sort, I suspect that the energy required for high speed writes (at SSD speeds) may become substantial.

That being said, it's not clear how innovation has occurred in this direction in the storage space.

You may be right about orders of magnitude, but I think there is an important distinction to the relative loudness of these two groups though.

There is a large silent majority of people who distrust both parties and ignores and avoid politics.

However I think the "trusts both" group tends to be overrepresented in the media, government and political classes because it has utility to them: hard to work with or get interviews or jobs with politicians that you've called disingenuous or bought by special interests - even when it is clearly the case.

I think there is a breed of people who watch the West Wing and see it as a utopian possible reality ("Federalists"?) and they prioritize the power and respectability of the state as more important than the results of political actions. I believe these people self-sort into these roles and are able to advance in these roles more easily because of this ideology.

> You're entitled to nothing when authors write FOSS. They provide it as-is. Take it or leave it. No one is obligated to take support harassment.

the author of the lib literally pushed it to Home Assistant, so he gave it to a relatively famous project that is present in a lot of distro and Snapstore. Pushing to such project is a guarantee that your code will be repackaged.
He could say it was a misunderstanding and require to be remove from HA, but to go to a project that uses the project that you PR your code into? eh. We have licensing for this reason and I am quite sure if frenck had choose the correct license/limitation from the beginning, it would have never been accepted into HA and this whole problem would have been avoided

> Tons of FOSS projects do not support alternative distributions. In fact, implicitly, virtually no one does. Most authors publish software with the expectation you'll use their distribution channels.

I don't think this is true, and the fact that already author's libs had been already packaged in Gentoo, Fedora and possibly more distro (and he said he will request to remove them) show how quickly alternative and well used channel can and will pick them up if not specified in your license. Especially if the project you are contributing is ALREADY packaged in different disto.

> Classic fuzzers famously have a hard time circumventing magic values and checksums, and cryptography is full of these. This is further complicated by the fact that the double ratchet algorithm is very stateful and depends on the two ratchets evolving in lockstep.

Can the first issue be solved by scraping all the magic values from the codebase and putting them in the fuzzer's dictionary file? I wonder if this could even be automated when doing white-box fuzzing -- have the fuzzer scan the code when placing instrumentation and extract every "interesting" constant from e.g. `if` checks.

Regarding the second issue and the double ratchet specifically, are there even ideas on how it could be approached for feasible fuzzing?
