He says thhat conspiracy is inherently anti+democratic, so here is the antidote, strengthening democracy.

Another great point is in his last paragraph, that conspiracy theories are mostly bottom up events. You have a whole demographic doing conspiracy theorizing instead of talking about what it looks in practice.

There just was a president whose whole game was running a circus, everything was about the guy and his idea of The Enemy. Nothing of substance and nothing but misdirection.

You talk very confidently about something you don't seem to know much about.

1. >You can't put real world events on blockchain

Yes you absolutely can, look into decentralized oracle projects like Chainlink or Augur for more info.

2. Loans already exist fully onchain, look into Aave and Compound. Loans are overcollatoralized so 'credit' of address doesn't matter. They haven't figured out undercollatoralized loans yet, but it's just a matter of time before we get propor decentralized identity, which will open opportunities for credit creation on chain.

3. As for titles to realestate, its just a matter of time before goverments recognize deeds held on chain as legitimate, and then that problem is solved.
It would be interesting to know how many do continue to work. We would only hear about the ones that do continue to do visible things, it could be the case that 99% simply retire.

What about prefabricated houses in post-communist countries? You definitely can't accuse them of using highest quality materials nor spending loads of money on maintenance, but I haven't heard about major failures and there are probably millions of such blocks of flats out there, built mostly between '60-'80 using a couple of different variations of the technology (some involving pre fabricated pieces of reinforced concrete connected with steel joints). I think they were estimated to last 50 years or so, but there is still large proportion of the population living in such houses in some countries nowadays.
This is partly about "mutual recognition of database rights": "since Brexit, any database made on or after 1 January 2021 in the UK will not be protected in the EU, and vice versa".

Possibly that small, but I'm a family of five so sleeping that many quickly becomes a problem. Bunk beds and squeezing in are fine but we're +1 over what almost every dwelling considers family-sized.

Not sure what you're going to do to convince your boss.

Though the machines might not be suited for the course, slapping a lightweight Linux distro on the old computers and giving them to parting gift to students without hardware would be a serious act of kindness. Not having your own hardware sucks.

If your boss is motivated by the desire to give charity and to not waste donations, this suggestion might be comforting to them. Then you need to convince them to buy some loaners so the students can complete the course.
For people saying individual action is useless, where does top-level action from governments and big companies come from if it can't be traced to individuals?

How is this different from saying voting in elections, organising protests and boycotting companies/products has no influence? How does voting with your wallet not heavily influence supply/demand and company policies? Why would governments feel compelled to make changes if there's little support demonstrated by individuals?

Are you saying the beliefs and actions of your friends and family have little influence on you and you personally have rarely influenced anyone you know?

I am implying that the current Chinese government simply kept the colonial style police force, probably unchanged for another 50 years.
Those things suggested are the solution but government has to enforce them to have any effect. Recently the local government in my area banned plastic knives and forks and pretty much overnight every restaurant and takeaway place switched to reusable steel, wood/bamboo, or just not giving out cutlery by default and only when it is actually needed.

A single action by the government wiped out tens of millions of plastic pieces per year effortlessly.

So yes, the solution was for us to stop doing certain things. It's just enforcement that matters.
Yes, modern engines are optimised for fuel and emissions efficiency to within an inch of their lives. This was my entire point - we could move a couple of people in a Fiat 500 and get 43mpg, in 1957. Without the incentives I mentioned in my first post, we could easily make an engine much more efficient than that, and fixable.

I don't know much about your situation but this comment on HN from 2013 (1) might be helpful in your situation:

Burnout is caused when you repeatedly make large amounts of sacrifice and or effort into high-risk problems that fail. It's the result of a negative prediction error in the nucleus accumbens. You effectively condition your brain to associate work with failure.

On the heels of the failure of a project where I have spent weeks building up for, I will quickly force myself to do routine molecular biology, or general lab tasks, or a repeat of an experiment that I have gotten to work in the past. These all have an immediate reward. Now I don't burn out anymore, and find it easier to re-attempt very difficult things, with a clearer mindset.

To me, yes, it is surprising. But likely because I don't use Amazon, Twitter, YouTube, FaceBook, and so do not read the things you're reading (or at least as much) but I understand your point nonetheless. I skim past the numerous stories regarding how awful these companies behave and yet continue to reap massive profits. I've known Amazon was bad, but not this bad. It's a shit state of affairs.
Do you think projects run and implemented by people directly employed by the government have a better track record?
It doesn't. The point is that neither does recycling, or whatever.

This is getting a bit frustrating

He literally said 'no tax pennies were spent'.

They obviously were, what he wrote is factually incorrect, taxes are taxes, just because they didn't have to rise council tax is totally irrelevant.

He also claimed "There is absolutely nothing about this service that is a hand out from the government".

That is also completely WRONG if as he claimed they received state and federal grants. A lie. It is subsidised.

i.e. You're completely wrong, the original poster woefully misunderstands taxes and grants if he's claiming no handouts and and taxes, please stop now.

I think broadband should be a public utility, this has got nothing to do with my politics, it's simply pointing out the original comment is factually incorrect in its claims.

His town's broadband was subsidised, it was built using tax payer pennies and it did require a handout.

One fundamental reason for this is that the German law devolves responsibility for education to the states. The federal government is not allowed to influence universities and funding is considered influence. These research institutions are formally not education and thus can receive federal funding. They are, however closely related to universities - using the same facilities, the same personnel, often on-campus or right next to it.
Personally I switched to Linux not because it was open source but because it is better. I also believe the open source philosophy is beneficial users and developers but it wasn't the primary reason.
> Wonder no more: hardly anything in Linux has ever been meaningfully reviewed.

Incorrect.

> Code looks like it couldn't possibly pass review because it can't, and didn't.

What's this supposed to mean? Are you talking about a specific piece of code, all of Linux, or some strange general statement? No matter what it seems wrong, if nothing else because you seem to be ascribing your own unique definition to the concept of "review" or what code must look like in order to "pass review".

It's clear that you have some dislike for Linux, maybe technical maybe personal, maybe justified maybe not. Unfortunately though even if it is a well founded technical dislike, it has clouded your vision so much that you're lashing out and making trivially disproven nonsense like this on an internet forum. I think it's time for you to take a breath and think what you are hoping to achieve.

Linux has extensive review efforts many of which are public but also many more private ones that you nevertheless can see the evidence of, both pre and post code merge, which I'm almost certain you would know of unless you're just a complete clueless troll.

So given that, do you think it bolsters your credibility or achieves your goals of readjusting peoples' opinion of Linux, by blurting out such garbage? I don't think it does, but I think you sound frustrated and angry, perhaps because nobody will listen to you.

Let's start with a clean slate and let's hear your misgivings about Linux, the people involved with it, the process, etc.

IMO a lot of what Windows does isn't something you can apply Copilot-style tech to. The only thing you could train it on would be Windows, really.
> What happened?

The introduction of entirely new architectural platforms and related distribution channels provided a unique opportunity. I doubt that it would have been possible without this. (Xerox PARC, BTW, was never a market factor, but only a research facility.) In a few cases, the breaking of the dot-com bubble provided an opportunity for a major reset (compare the demise of SUN, this probably relates to Oracle, as well.) *

Regarding "viable contenders": I'm not intending any valuation. It's rather a factual statement about if and where there are services of a similar capability. (Turns out, there is some kind of systemic aspect to this.)

*) You may say, those who relate to the internet as "broken" are yearning for a similar hiatus or paradigm shift.

If, during the Ubuntu install process, you check the box to install proprietary drivers, it will automatically detect & install the nvidia-* drivers. You can also do this from the settings post-install. No Linux knowledge required really, it’s easier than the state of things on Windows.
A big part of the Party's legitimacy is that they succeeded where the Nationalists failed: They kicked out foreigner powers from China and reasserted Chinese sovereignty.

Getting HK back is a major achievement for them with the full support of the Chinese public (even for people sympathetic with HK's struggle to maintain its democratic rights).

I think this is something overlooked in the West, if not purposely ignored, with Western media continuously trying to paint an image of China vs HK. HK is a Chinese city within China, inhabited by Chinese people. It just happens to have a special administrative status. The issue is the issue of democracy in China, and whatever will happen to that will be achieved by the Chinese people themselves (see Taiwan), not by foreigners with ulterior motives.

Most Java code actually does rely on it, but behind the scenes. So you could go years between writing any reflection code yourself, but libraries and frameworks use it to dynamically search for known stuff in the classpath and change behavior if it finds other class X, or use it to serialize to and from various formats and java objects, do stuff based on annotations etc.

Sean, I just added a few things to my note. I'll try to copy/paste 'em here, although I suspect my sleepy fingers will goof up:

I haven't really reviewed what I'm posting here - heck I can't spellcheck at 12:30 in the morning:

Amazon, through its "Brand Registry" allows anyone with an issued trademark to take over other brands, whether or not the brand is covered by the specific goods that the trademark was issued for.

Brand Name Hijacking takes advantage of several bugs in Amazon's seller business model:

1) Amazon Brand Name Registry allows the owner of a USPTO trademark to take over listings of non-trademarked brands.

2) Amazon Brand Name Registry does not prevent a registered Amazon brand from over-reaching beyond the regulated goods and services associated with that trademark.

3) Amazon combines reviews of different item variations and colors, even though they are from completely different listings and manufacturers.

4) Amazon debits inventory even when an order is cancelled, allowing a denial of service attack to exhaust inventory in a seller's listing, at no cost to the attacker.

Effects of Brand Hijacking:

1) Shoddy or unproven products receive five-star reviews, apparently from several years.

2) Consumers, relying on Amazon star ratings, are grossly misled by the summary reviews.

3) Disreputable sellers are rewarded (at the cost of honest sellers) by large volume sales caused by high ratings.

4) Unscrupulous sellers of reviews receive money from Amazon sellers in return for inflated reviews.

5) Independent sellers on Amazon -- specifically those who have delivered extremely high customer satisfaction -- are locked out of their listings and pushed out of their long term business.
Sure. Ten of the Twelve SaaS products that I have built over the years didn’t get any traction and died away. That’s only counting ones I spent at least a month or so head down building and marketing.

And that’s fine. Because the other two pay the bills.

That’s the cool thing about software businesses. You only need to get it all right once. People like to call this “survivorship bias” and other silly things in order to convince themselves that it’s pointless to try. But all it really means is that you get to keep trying until it works.

I can get pretty quick delivery from a few other companies in my country. What I can't get is the very very lenient warranty that Amazon gives. Other companies will work as hard as possible to make replacing something under warranty as painful as possible. Amazon basically goes 'sure, ok' and either refunds or sends a replacement.
I agree. I'm not German but have been living here for almost 9 years. Potsdam Institute for Climate Research is probably the world leader on its topic. The University of Kiel is probably one of the best in the world in Marine Studies. Surely there are other examples.
International reputation tends to favor english-speaking institutions, and rankings based on publications are skewed towards... publications, which is not necessarily the only way to measure education quality.

Aschenbrenner seems to suffer a little from not feeling accepted in his home country. His argument seems to be mostly that his "elite" intelligence was not properly recognized, so he feels that places who celebrate that/him are better than those who don't.

In general, contemporary German culture does not like taking risks or people who stand out. You can see that in casual conversations with people, in the way their bureaucracy works, in the kinds of things that they promote or not. Outside of Berlin, that it, which as a city itself is a stand-out, where people come from their small village because they felt they don't fit in.

> If you think running servers is difficult and expensive (you're right), ask yourself why you feel entitled for us to run them for your product.

I don't get Moxie's stance. Aren't they running Signal as a public service? This sentence reads as if LibreSignal would be stealing profits from Signal by using later's servers. But there is no intention to raise profits / add monetization, is there?
It makes more sense in the context of the paper. The previous sentence ends with

> [...] since January 1, 2000, there had been 291,237 record high maximum daily temperatures set, and 142,420 record low minimum daily temperatures, or a ratio of roughly two to one.

It seems like "just" shouldn't be in that sentence though.

Let's see how that works out. Last I've read in a timeframe from some weeks ago is that they finally start building a test track somewhere. I'm torn. Sure it would be a cool thing to have. They'd outdo all the hyped hyperloops. OTOH they maybe come to the same conclusions as...errr...others before, that it makes no sense economically, especially if you already have a large HSR network capable of operating at +300kph. With REBCO or not. I mean, they tested that Transrapid thing in Shanghai. While 'cool', that wasn't expanded. Remains to be seen if that changes.
A lot us are able to take pleasure in other people's success and try to learn from them. It isn't very useful to assume the worst about people. The generalizations you are making here about rich people, etc. etc. are honestly ridiculous. Some of the most generous people I've met were filthy rich.
