> Take embedding as an example. If Servo became a great choice for embedding (similar to WebViews, Electron or maybe as an "engine" to Electron), where there is usually a single set of CSS and Javascript that it's expected to run (basically a bundled app), the downsides of Servo not supporting all Web APIs, or not handling all edge cases, is reduced. Basically, if it runs your code, that's enough.

Could also become a way to do proof of concept new DOM ideas if the API allows for custom tags, JS features, etc.

I would love to see a company backing Servo that isn't Mozilla considering all the downfalls of Mozilla with funding their amazing projects. Their biggest legacy is Rust atm and they're missing out lots of opportunities: paid for IDE with RAD capabilities, certificates for Rust, and many more that could more than fund: Mozilla Firefox, Servo, and Rust itself.
Thank you very much! Please consider donating the tip you meant to give to this Dutch environmental organization: "https://milieudefensie.nl/actie/doneer." They are the ones who brought the case against Shell in court, forcing the company to actively reduce its emissions by 2030.

How do you define TV

There’s the LCD screen

A driver to convert an input (hdmi, vga, ntsc, DVB/ATSC, MPEG, HLS)

A speaker (or more), with input (from driver or not)

A control plane of some sort to control the other bits (brightness, gamma, input, volume)

It seems that people who want dumb TVs want most of that, including different inputs, but just a specific driver and/or control plane

A computer monitor will do most of this just fine, especially if matched with a separate speaker.
No, read it again.

"Leaders are right a lot. They have strong judgment and good instincts. They seek diverse perspectives and work to disconfirm their beliefs."

Work to disconfirm their beliefs - this is the key. It shouldn't be "Are Right, A Lot" but more "Get's Right, Consistently." In practive, this means working to check your assumptions and actually ensure you're ... right.
I won't presume to know if there's a real use case for #1 -- I agree that a centralized blockchain likely makes little sense, especially in this moment in time. But I would absolutely not be shocked if there is a use-case for "a database with bad performance" that's governed by one, or a group of, entities. A way to maintain transparency, vote on improvements, etc but only within, say, automotive, or whatever. There are only going to be growing use cases for data, ownership, privacy, and transparency use cases.

For #2, I think you're missing the point but apologize if you're not. However, I didn't say, and very few are saying, that blockchain sidesteps government and regulation. What I and many others are saying is that it sidesteps the additional layer of government that is a business entity. If you want to earn yield on BlockFi or Celsius for example, you are beholden to TOS and decisions in ways that are critically different than engaging similar functionality via a dapp.

My core point is that both can and likely will co-exist, because one is not inherently better than the other; the pros and cons will hit differently depending on the use case.
Apple Releases First Public Beta of macOS 12 Monterey
Sometimes I do it blindly too! I don't always care about the "how". Sometimes I'm just looking for a single line to convert a data type, or a bash command to do something. Not interested in learning all the arguments to various bash tools. I just want to delete some files and move on.
I feel like people are too afraid of saying that you can learn dangerous topics without a proper teacher. IMO it holds people back.

I'm a completely self taught outdoor climber (with the exception of a lead belay course indoors) and have worked up to some pretty advanced stuff. Trad, big wall, self-rescue, etc.

Youtube was a big part of that. You can watch videos published by authoritative sources, cross reference them with books, etc. and get a very good understanding of a topic. Even when your life is on the line.

Then you can start branching out once you know the building blocks. Some rando on Youtube is showing you how to build some new-to-you self-equalizing anchor? Well they're just using the knots and concepts you already know from the authoritative sources. You can verify it's safe yourself, and then judge the usefulness.

Team Trump quietly launches new social media platform
At the very least it needs a better plan than "don't let it die".

An exception to what you're saying is Blender by the way, the early (open source) history is a bit sketchy beyond the €100,000 they raised to get the rights (in 2002, well before Kickstarter "crowdfunding"), but I always had the impression what they did right was focus on funding for full-time devs right from the start.

Blender in general is a great open source success story probably not told often enough, probably because 3D is something most of us never really do. It's probably worth examining what they did right in some more detail.
The median salary of $50000 still seems a bit low to me considering how real estate must be pretty expensive in Manhattan. An okay-ish 1-bedroom apartment seems to be around at $2000 a month, which amounts to almost half of your salary (and I haven't really delved into the living costs of that area!)

Except it doesn’t work. It is not a „treatment“. I had much less issues with the whole concept if that where the case. Why would I hate people with gender dysphoria? It is a terrible predicament.

One small-town lawyer will go broke but two small-town lawyers can make a fortune.
Who's to say "we" didn't? The whole point of this post is that any attempt to change the petroleum industry's priorities led to them fighting tooth and nail to block it.

I mean, changing shareholder laws to allow companies to not prioritize profits > everything? That sounds exactly like the sort of thing the shareholders are going to want the company to fight against. It's the same problem (whether it targets only ESG or not).
> the very first problem you should be tackling is what you're going to do to deal with asshats

I agree. One solution is "have a real human identity you can't delegate with real stakes if you're banned." What we need is a blue checkmark for everyday people.
> Are they just betting on the insurance companies mispricing their insurance products?

Sort of. First, the investors are betting that the information they have now (when the insured wants to sell) is better than what the insurance company had then (when the insured purchased the policy). Second, life insurance policies have a “cash surrender” value, basically an amount of money that the insurance company will pay to the insured to give up the policy. These days those cash surrender values are extremely low, as the insurance companies rely on the difference to boost profits; they can do this because many policyholders don’t know there are alternatives to surrendering the policy if they can’t make the payments.

What’s attractive about this from an investor’s perspective is not outsized returns, but returns that are uncorrelated with the market.

I was pretty grossed out when I first heard of this kind of investment but then learned that it first became popular during the AIDS epidemic. Selling their life insurance policies was a way for the terminally ill to benefit from an asset that was not going to have any value to them after death (if they had no family to benefit from the payout). Without investors providing a market for these policies, they’d have to settle for the cash surrender value.
Completely agree. Be 100 percent of what some small set of users needs and you will have a small happy user base which may lead to some new contributors. Do 95 percent of what a lot of people need and you will have zero users that are completely satisfied and they will all use something else.

Then look for use cases that are 95 percent complete and work on that last 5 percent. Then you've got a second set of happy users.

Taking this same approach with an intern at work. He's there for 9-10 weeks. We have an ancient piece of software that requires ancient hardware to run. I told him to make a replacement good enough for one specific guy to use full time. If we can eliminate one users dependence on the old junk it will still save hardware costs, and after the intern is gone, I'll be able to do incremental improvements for the other users until it gets done. Without that one user, there will be zero incentive to maintain it after my intern is gone.

> I have conflicted feelings about this. Is it really a "mistake" if you don't understand some subtle context about artwork that would not be clear to the casual reader either? Or, as an art critic, is it your responsibility to be aware of all these subtexts, so you can educate your readers about them?

Why shouldn't they know? Are you concerned that it is too high a standard? They are professionals. When you hire a mathematics tutor, shouldn't the tutor understand the subtitles of math? When you hire an engineer, shouldn't they know the subtleties of the issue they were hired to handle?

> More broadly, does great art have to be immediately striking and accessible?

Art can't be required to be anything at all, and as soon as you impose requirements, some artist will no doubt find a way to challenge them (like good hackers ;) :D ). But of course, much of it isn't immediately striking and accessible.

> If a piece of art resonates only with people who share the artist's context (like the mentioned punning pronunciation of "boy" in a given dialect), can a critic lacking that context review it, or a viewer appreciate it?

I get the question, but first, we can't make blanket statements about it: "can" someone appreciate it? Who knows? It depends on the artwork, the person, how much time they have, maybe the lighting and the information they find (including from the critic), etc. People aren't prisoners of their contexts - we all are necessarily very limited by our short lives, but we can learn. I know more about the world than what I've directly experienced. The choreographer Mark Morris said,

"I don't think everything's for everybody. I like that people specialize and have specific interests. I like the idea that people remain curious; I like to say that my work is not for everyone, it's for anyone."

One major effect or benefit of much artwork is to see the world through someone else's eyes - someone with great vision, observation, and skill in conceiving and communicating what they see, who has thought deeply and worked for many hours on how to say this one thing.

You can (if you wish) forget what you bring into the room - the artist doesn't know you, they didn't create this with you in mind - and dive into a totally alien point of view and personality, one that does not respect or understand you at all, one that isn't pulling punches for your sensitivities. It's a personal conversation with this creative, thoughtful person, someone creative, has thought deeply, and expresses themselves in highly creative ways - but who is completely unaware of you. You can stand right next to them, observe them closely, walk around them, explore, leave and come back, stalk them (the artwork) obsessively, and it's not even rude. It's a good way to get out of yourself; it's space where you can be deeply, disturbingly challenged, and consider and reconsider, in perfect external safety without anyone knowing, if you wish.
The section on Uber, starting at 36:30, is also well worth watching. This was the talk that made me realize that a company’s principles, as shared, aren’t just PR bullshit. They really do have a profound effect on the culture and behavior of companies.

Sellers are the product, not the customer.
This was a case that deserved a charitable reading. She was attempting to co-opt a slur that had been used against her.

Unfortunately, co-opting slurs is hard. You'll get push back. It was the headline, and many people don't read past headlines. She wasn't normalizing hate speech, but she was reflecting hate speech, very much in public.

It's easy to call that a mistake in retrospect, and easy to say that as somebody who wasn't prepared for the consequences she should have shied away from it. That puts the blame on her and misses the bigger picture, that almost anybody can get caught up in forces far beyond their expectation or ability to handle that.

I don't know how to fix that. There's not much advice I can offer. I wish I could offer her some comfort, but probably the best thing I can do is leave her alone and hope that she can recover.
Do you have concrete points to make other than attacking the tone of the argument? Make them. I don’t assume I have reached enlightenment.
