The author doesn't take on that issue head on, because its focus is more on terminological precision, but it does hint at an answer.

> National identities are, after all, not merely about inclusion but also about exclusion

> the nation is an exclusive identity, but citizenship co-exists more easily with other identities

Calls to nationalism are often not so much calls for unity as they are calls for exclusion of or opposition to some "other" who does not share that nationality. This is not necessarily a bad thing. When it's a minority nation seeking independence from a larger state/empire (e.g. Scotland from the UK) it can even seem noble. When it's a powerful nation seeking to exert its will over other "lesser" nations (e.g. Russia in any of its imperial/Soviet/current forms) not so much. In general, "nationalism" has negative connotations, is part of the standard definition of fascism, etc. "Civic" identity (what the author suggests the US actually has) is generally more positive and supports more humane policy. To the extent that words matter in general, this one certainly does.
It's clearly not just you, based on the other comments, but I use my RSS Reader (InoReader) for quicker bits of reading/scanning/art/comics, so email works just right for me.

I have filters for each newsletter, so I don't actually think of it much as "email," but as "let me go check and see which newsletters have new issues to read today now that I have time for newsletter reading." Checking just now, there are 18 individual titles under my "Lists" heading in Fastmail, of which six are bold, indicating something new to read.

For me, sending those newsletters to RSS would be a step backward, and having to remember to go visit the websites in question would be two steps backward, so I guess I'm the target market for the status quo!
There is a reason - DigitalOcean. A more appropriate name would be DigitalCesspool. They allow anything, so long as you pay them. I'd block email from their networks, but there are already plenty of ways that spam servers on their networks screw up (bad EHLO name, broken reverse DNS, SPF for all IP addresses), so that email is not accepted anyway.

Microsoft sucks for rejecting email without recourse, but you're on DigitalOcean, so can you really blame them?
There is a talk from a security researcher about visiting random HTTP servers exposed to the internet.

He found the control panel for a power plant, an ice skating rink, traffic lights, etc.

There was even a button that you could press to put the traffic lights on test mode, that had a message saying "Warning: injury or death can occur".

No authentication was required for any of those systems. Why? because some people wrongly believe that not being behind a domain name and not being on a search engine (other than shodan, of course), makes their shit secure.

That's why sometimes I think working in IT or software should require a license.
I agree, coverage of the Assange case is more sporadic now but a quick search of the NYT website shows they wrote about this indictment June 12th. It's no secret. If there's something to this new claim it may be in their next article about it, they seem to get back to Assange once a month or so.

The title for this link is exaggerated at least.

It should be pretty clear from the author's discussion of etymology and usage that "civic nationalism" is an oxymoron.
Some people certainly spread such messages, but on HN and other places in early 2020, I saw many reasonable, scientific-minded, likely left-leaning people discuss the possibility soberly.

My own stance shifted a bit due to an early/mid-2020 HN thread, where I kind of naively assumed there was already a conclusive consensus around a zoonotic origin and that the sequence didn't indicate any human meddling. I presented that side of it, and also how the presence of the lab has to be considered in a Bayesian sense; e.g. what if the lab was built there due to an existing concentration of new viruses or virus-carrying species in that area. After reading some thoughtful replies, I realized it was pretty irresponsible and not completely rational of me to dismiss the theory out of hand, and ended up editing my post and have been continuously considering and weighing all of the circumstantial evidence on either side since then. (At the moment I'm pretty much agnostic or 50/50 on it.)

The problem is that anything unorthodox is inevitably going to have lots of crazy and ill-intentioned people associated with it, serving as ideal "weak men" (https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/05/12/weak-men-are-superweap...).

In some cases deliberately, but usually inadvertently and due to bias, those positions will be painted with the brush of the craziest, least credible, and most assholish of the sources. I'm an armchair conspiracy theory (attempted) debunker so I've seen this and have tried to keep myself from doing this many times, because it's actually a failure mode that's not as severe as but not quite unlike the pervasive confirmation bias of conspiracy theorists themselves. This kind of pattern matching often does work well, which is what makes it even more epistemologically fraught when applied to new, controversial events and ideas that are developing in real-time.

Scott, nice service! Two notes:

1. I don't know if it's the social media kiss of death at work, but I'm getting lots of SSL errors trying to load your site. It's a crap-shoot whether it works or not right now.

2. Seeing this post, I posted this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27711124. If you don't already (did I miss it?) it might be worth tossing up a page or an item in your FAQ teaching people about how they can go about migrating their email address to another/your service. I don't know how easy/hard it is (hence my AskHN post), but the perception is that it's nigh impossible to do.
Regardless of whether I "consented" or not, I'll mark recurring marketing/news/feedback emails as spam in Gmail. This also gives me the option to unsubscribe if Gmail finds a link. Much easier than seeking out the unsub link myself, so I use this even if it's not technically spam.

I do wish Google provided a standalone unsubscribe link. Or maybe companies shouldn't hide it in the fine print and make me fill out a form and survey. The bad apples ruin the bunch.
You have to distinguish things that are age dependent (generic about 20 year olds at different times) as opposed to cohort dependent (specific to people born in 2021.)

When people born in 2001 are grand(p|m)as I think they'll have a similar relationship to the cohort of 2061. That is, there will be some things 2061ers will want to share with them and other things 2061ers won't.

There is some cohort ⨯ age interaction, for instance the boomer cohort has been so large that some tv viewing slots are saturated for ads about "you might not be getting all the medicare benefits you deserve" to the point that it drives away other viewers.

>Okay, and again, if "regulations" are enough for one case, why not the other? If a "regulation" can prevent the clearinghouse from holding on to asset they're not entitled to, why not use that instead of requiring the broker to put up money that will compensate the customer when the CH holds on to an asset they're not entitled to?

But the clearinghouse is entitled to it. The clearinghouse member's collateral is used to make up the difference (the credit risk) should the member fail to pay the required amount on the day of settlement. If you prohibit the clearinghouse from seizing it, then that kills the point of the collateral.
I'm not sure you have to keep pointing to the boogie man of soviet infiltrators to explain power hungry bureaucrats. Those have existed in literally every society since at least the early bronze age.
Catalina gang and I feel the same way.

There was also that incident where network filtering through the new API in Big Sur was not applied to Apple owned apps and thus any attempt to block traffic from these apps failed. Very inconvenient for people on limited bandwidth connections and posed a security threat by exposing a way for apps to bypass app firewalls. Of course this was eventually fixed but only after many people (including myself) complained.

Additionally since I have an Intel Mac, I feel like it wouldn’t be taking advantage of the M1 optimizations. I am not using any of the new iOS-like features as well, so I truly have nothing to gain.

Once they stop releasing security patches, I’ll reluctantly upgrade to whatever OS is available at the time.
Yeah, but... I mean, I guess we all agree that copying code from, let's say StackOverflow without checking if it really does what you want it to do is a bad thing? Now here we have a tool that basically automates that (except it's copying from GitHub, not StackOverflow), and that's supposed to be a good thing? Even if its AI is smarter, you would still have to check the code it suggests, and that can actually be harder than writing it yourself...
Yeah, because I always check the code of my programming partner for license violations.

That's not about this news story.

"These dramatic revelations emerged in an extensive article published on 26 June in Stundin."

Indeed the overall health of the individuals is important, and the cause for concern is the known lower effectiveness of the mRNA vaccine on variants other than -19 - and that vaccinated people are getting it; based on everything I've read, it'll only be once we mass deploy Ivermectin as a preventative or at minimum distributed to take upon first symptoms until we abolish the virus; everyone taking preventatively would mean non-symptomatic carriers wouldn't be spreading blindly.

Writing simple cloud functions right in the browser makes so much sense to me. I've used webtask.io before it was acquired and shut down. I had to switch to GCP cloud functions and it's lots of pain. Every time I want to run the function I need to deploy it first and it takes like a minute.

Playing with Napkin, it looks very promising. Just the things I need: write random code, test it right there, press deploy and get the endpoint right away.

Love that it's free for personal use. Just make sure you make enough money on paid plans and don't shut down like Webtask!
There's a reason why retail investors have traditionally been locked out of things like options and investing in IPOs. More often than not it ends up with the less wealthy losing their life savings.

"The wrong hands" is the average retail investor. The philosophical debate is whether those people should be allowed to waste their life savings because they should know better, or if the government should make efforts to ensure that they can't.

Practically every open source license requires attribution, if copilot has a licensing issue, training a model on only repositories with the same license won't fix it except for the extremely rare licenses which do not require attribution.
No boilerplate currently, we plan on adding a lot of examples to the site going forward. For now yes you would install any packages you need as you normally would from the "Modules" tab in the editor. More docs here as well: https://napkin.wiki/docs/javascript
> And these are the hand picked examples. This product seems like it needs some more thought.

Everyone's self-preservation instincts kicking in to attack Copilot is kinda amusing to watch.

Copilot is not supposed to produce excellent code. It's not even supposed to produce final code, period. It produces suggestions to speed you up, and it's on you to weed out stupid shit, which is INEVITABLE.

As a side note, Excel also uses floats for currency, so best practice and real world have a huge gap in-between as usual.

I'm not sure we should throw the baby out with the bath water here due to the large blurbs it stubs in when when it doesn't have a lot to go on in mostly empty files. It is a preview release. They are working on proper attribution of suggested code and explainability [1]. Having a stochastic parrot that types faster than I do would be useful in a lot of cases.

Yes, better layers of abstraction could make us more productive in the future, but we're not there yet. By all means, don't accept the larger blurbs it proposes, but there is productivity to be gained in the smaller suggestions. If it correctly intuits the exact rest of the line that you were thinking of, it will save time and not make you lose understanding of the program.

In some areas complete understanding and complete code ownership is required but in a lot of places, it's not. If it produces the work of a moderately skilled developer it would be sufficient. I don't remember all code I write as time passes. If it produces work that I would have produced, then I don't see how that's any different that work that was produced by my past self.

It may feel offensive but a lot of the comments against it sound like rage against the machine/industrialization opponents and the arguments sound pretty similar to those made in the past by those that had their jobs automated away. I'm not sure we're all as unique snowflakes as we like to think we are. Sure, there will be some code that requires an absolute master that is outside the capabilities of this tool. But I'd guess there is a massive amount of code that doesn't need that mastery.

There are a lot of good points made against copilot. But I’m optimistic in that it will improve with time. At worst it’s an efficient code copy-pasting tool, but at best it could be the next level of abstraction.
Well, one doesn't have time to learn everything, so it's entirely reasonable to do a cost-benefit analysis (in terms of employability or personal interest) before investing.
I agree with
411111111111111's answer: GAFAM are are corps, not stable groups. Teams' members are renewed quite frequently, this is an unstable setup, in a way constantly collapsing/exploding.

I also agree with
TheFreim's comment, each corp is a group of groups. Alexander Zinoviev wrote that real (useful, innovative...) work is always done by a single person or a small group. Google, Amazon, Apple and other successful huge companies genius and key-to-success is to maintain small groups, each as autonomous as possible and producing some valuable thing, then to compose their results.

Any productive big institution isn't a perfectly consistent and stable machine built with all-tightly-coupled human components, but an unstable (constantly renewed) patchwork/hodgepodge where a few entities (groups) are productive (most aren't), each small and much more free to act as they want to than it may appear to the casual observer.

In Apple's case S. Jobs was pretty clear about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f60dheI4ARg , see also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5enAGG51PQ
There’s no playbook for undoing colonial rule at mass scale. Said colonial rule prevented China from participating in the industrial revolution, so converting an agrarian economy to an industrial one is in fact undoing colonial rule.

So yeah, they made mistakes and a lot of people died. I’m not going to glorify Mao but you can’t argue with results. The Great Leap Forward largely succeeded, they just realized it needed to be rolled out at a smaller scale over a longer period of time.

>If Copilot generates the sort of code that you would write, and it does for a lot of people, then it's definitely no worse (or better) than copying something from SO.

Disagree.

Most SO copy-paste must be integrated into your project -- maybe it expects different inputs, maybe it expects or works with different variables -- whatever, it must be partially modified to work with the existing code-base that you're working with.

Copilot does the integration tasks for you. When one might have had to read through the code from SO to understand it enough to integrate it, the person using Copilot need not even invest that much understanding.

Because of these workflow differences, it seems to me as if Copilot enables an even more low-quality workflow than offered by copy-pasting from SO and patching together multiple code-styles and paradigms while hoping for the best; Copilot does that without even the wisdom that an SO user might have that 'this is a bad idea.'

> Thats not true, tipped employees typically do get >0 dollar paycheck from their employers. That is their base hourly wage.

This is not true. I’ve been a service employee. Your employer withholds taxes on estimated tipped earnings, typically resulting in literal $0 paychecks. This is the norm in states with lower tipped minimums (might not hold true in states like CA). In fact, getting actual cash on your paycheck means the business was so slow that they needed to pay you to make up the difference (or close to it). In which case, barely over $7 is still abysmal to deal with the bs in that biz, and obviously far too little to actually live a decent life.

The only generalized tip I can offer is to check if each service allows adding a second email address vs. changing the only associated email address. Check to see if there is a "verify email" link and verify your secondary email address. Then set is as primary if they offer that option. This gives you a potential fall-back if something goes wrong. Not every service has this option/method and this won't help with every service.

My own preference and learning experience: I have started migrating off anything that does not have a brick-and-mortal presence where I can. It isn't easy and not every service has this option. e.g. Amazon -> Walmart. There are a myriad of pros and cons to this, but I personally accept the cons. Obviously this won't help with AWS. Where that logic breaks down, I migrate to services where I can easily reach a real person that does not read off a script and is permitted to decide how to assist me.
