So first, investing in DEFI is not exactly simple. If I am reading it properly, you lose 20% in fees at least if you buy bitcoin with Madagascar dollars on paxful,

https://paxful.com/buy/bitcoin/madagascar

How many more hoops do you then have to jump through to acquire fake stocks?

Second, you then have to make sure you avoid pyramid schemes (like OneCoin), rug pulls, exit scams, bad exchanges and bad "smart" contracts (like the Parity bug).

This is not easy even for highly informed tech workers in the Global North. Now if you happen to speak another language (as I do) I recommend you go and Google "how to invest in Defi" or whatever in it. In my case (French), you get just articles after articles that are sponsored content from very dubious sounding wallet and exchanges, especially if you add "Madagascar" or "Congo" or whatever to your search.

So frankly, I think the idea that "crypto markets are great for the Global South" is more of a convenient story.
I don’t have first hand knowledge but I would bet all my Bitcoin that retailers do not have “shoplifting insurance”. There seems to be a common but deeply flawed belief that businesses can and do insure against literally every bad thing that could ever happen to them. Anyone with personal experience dealing with health or dental insurance should be well aware that insurance companies are in the business of covering (and paying out) as little as possible and there’s no reason to believe this dynamic is any different for a corporate customer.

I get recommendations of people that literally make me angry. Like people I totally cant stand and because they make kinda similar content to people I watch they get recommended all the fucking time. I tried disliking (which is not fair to begin with, because I would not watch them if my TV would not simply start it) but it changed nothing.

So I am stuck with getting the same few shitty YouTubers pulled in my autoplay every single day.

I would say your view is very much biased towards your own country. I not showboating or anything but have lived in 4 countries and travelled to 30 or more most during the 90’s and more recently, the change is palpable.

I also live in a 3rd world country and it’s a sharp upwards change on the last 50 years.

Population has increased 5x but there is less people starving to death, getting killed by curable diseases and so on.

The only thing that has increased is crime because of drug gangs related issues here.

Most, middle eastern, eastern European, Asian, Central and South american countries enjoy a far more democratic governments than 50 years ago. Number of crazy dictators has decreased greatly in those 50 years.

Maybe the american situation is getting worst but I would argue that the vast majority of the planet is now being able to enjoy a bit of that “american life” that was only the privilege of a few.
You don't even know the half of it. (Or maybe you do.)
Pretty sure that is wrong, though. What really strikes me is the large amount of informal, typically illegal public sales stalls on sidewalks downtown and in the Mission. There is a sudden boom in stolen goods with all kinds of detergents and soaps and personal care products available for pennies on the dollar. This is very clear evidence of a boom in stolen goods and one possible route to establishing some control over the situation.

It is important to keep the whole social context in mind. Next door San Mateo county has much more serious enforcement and around 2500 incarceration beds available most times. San Francisco has huge political struggles over all police activities and around 250 incarceration beds available most times. People need to decide what they actually want and provide the resources to get there but so far that is not what is happening.

I know, but that is the pendulum swinging too far trying to correct for perceived prejudices by the police/judicial system. Which I think are rooted in expecting police to be able to deal with mental health issues as if they have the tools to address the crisis.
ARMv7 or earlier it appears.
On ARMv8 with direct hw support for SC atomics, the SC atomics are the suggested implementation of acq/rel too. See the ARMv8 section of https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~pes20/cpp/cpp0xmappings.html.

As I mentioned in the post (https://research.swtch.com/plmm#sc), Herb Sutter claimed in 2017 that POWER was going to do something to make SC atomics cheaper. If it did, then that might end up being cheaper than the old sync-based acq/rel too, same as ARM, in which case we'd end up with SC = acq/rel on both ARM and POWER. It looks like that didn't happen, but I'd be very interested to know what did, if anything.

There are plenty of reasons to complain about fiat currencies like USD and the rights that states claim to control all transactions or control the value of our money.

That doesn’t make using unregulated stable coins from terrible terrible people like those behind bitfinex a good idea, or mean that trustless distributed consensus is worth the massive downsides of a decentralised system like bitcoin, or that we should trust projects without the most basic financial controls.

We have laws and regulators controlling money supply and financial transactions for good reasons, most of the unregulated experiments ‘defi’ is trying have already been run in fiat and banned for good reasons, including massive leverage, unregulated banks and exchanges, money printing etc etc.

> recommender AI

So, am I correct to understand that the recommender AI is just learning from youtube users' actual behavior and shows what content people who have watched a given set of videos tend to find "engaging" (watch for a significant amount of time, leave comments, like, etc)? That, in effect, the AI is just holding a mirror to youtube users, and some journalists don't like what they see in it?
Yes, as a FF user it’s becoming more and more clear that FF is falling behind on implementing new APIs. It’s frustrating having to keep Chrome around to load certain web apps.

Source? For solar heating you'll want one to store excess heat collected during the day.

With (grid sourced) electricity as the only energy source for the heat - and in absence of a "smart grid" - storing hot water adds losses, compared to heating the water just in time. So I can understand why they might think about some sort of ban.

If they go for a ban, I'd expect them to add some conditions.
There isn't much a kid can do to not conform.

Beating up by your parents are pretty common in China, and nobody gives a flying f--k about what you do with you kids. People would praise you for deploying violence, because that shows you are a strict parent, and the level of willingness you would spend on 'rectifying' the behavior of your kids.

And the parents would always tell the kids the violence right now is good for them, with a kind of twisted logic that early age suffering would be made up with later success in your life.

So to many Chinese family, in China or in west, the kids are not treated as individuals, they are a form of property/investment of the whole family. The parents are willing to invest a ton of money in the kids' education, in exchange to greater control/say in shaping up the kids' future.

It is a different social contract all together, I don't personally like it, but I am thankful for my parents for paying up all my tuition all the way until graduate degree, then that is super expensive for them, so there is trade-off.

Meditation is many things. One of those is a trance state, although I can see how that is not helpful to "beginners", when awareness and clearing the mind is generally more the point.
But using meditation to achieve trance states has a long history. To the extent that it predates history.
The usual progression is sitting. Just sitting.

What your talking about is tech folks seeing the benefits of meditation and looking for shortcuts. If it works for you go for it.
It's nice that you have it all figured out. Now solve for school shootings? I'll preload the specifics for you:

GDPR is concerned with other aspects, namely personal data handling. It would be ironic if the assumptions circulating around were true - which they are not. The topic is lifting a ban on the backdoors, not mandating them. Some argue it's a slippery slope but for a reason slippery slope arguments are listed under "logical fallacies". These are arguments unfortunately too often used in political discussions but still fallacies nevertheless.
> The judgement is still out if new type of society developed in the west with modern gender norms, women’s rights and sexual freedoms is viable long term and from demographic perspective it’s frankly probably not.

LGBTQ rights are a sub-set of human rights, in which individuals have self-autonomy/integrity. This may be antithetical to more traditionally collectivist cultures.

>Does he understand that the universe has an end and that immortality for that reason is an impossible goal to achieve?

I think he understands that this is a useless correction, and that e.g. 1,000,000 years of life are both very much below the heat death of the universe, and close enough to immortality compared to our 80-90 year life expectancy, for the issue not to matter.

That said, he's going nowhere near even double life expectancy, just like everybody else wont go there in the next 100-200 years (my prediction, would bet on it if only we could see the result of the bet). Not only we won't be getting that, but we'd be lucky if we avoid worsen quality of life and career prospects, and premature death due to climate change, wars, famines, and so on.
The problem with criticizing "isms" is that it causes you to make even grander generalizations than the people you're trying to criticize.

You can't compare netflix tho. With the small amount of content they have its enough to browse the new section maybe once a week to not miss anything. Facebook and Twitter are not there to recommend content but to follow content you already cared about.

We have 'illegal' streaming sites with better discovery than YouTube has.
Remote work is realistic for a tiny fraction of the population, and other pressures reduce the number of available remote work jobs even further (management culture, people who have no social life without the office, etc.). Remote work will change absolutely nothing.
Right, that's the issue here: We don't get any meaningful base rate.

But the problem is: It's incredibly hard to get representative measurements of personalized recommendations. How do you want to collect those? You'd need a representative sample in the upper four digits (costs five to six figures), and track their browsing including on mobile phones.

This is expensive and technically difficult, because you need to essentially MITM the connection (SNI doesn't give you the videos, only the domain).

Of course, Youtube knows the precise extent of the issue, but they can't/won't/don't give precise data to anyone (problematic but understandable, given that every totalitarian government in the world would immediately send a wishlist).

What I am not seeing discussed in all the hubub about SF shoplifting is the impact of organized crime.

There is a well-developed fencing process for this kind of thing: goods are stolen by individual thieves or groups; fenced to black-market warehouses; then redistributed to individual sellers, who either hawk in flea markets or to local businesses, or ship the goods in bulk to other areas. It's been this way for years. Gangs of bicycle thieves used to roam the entire Bay Area (probably still do) with this model—I believe they were affiliated with some L.A. groups as well—and more than one group was busted on state charges in the last decade or two.

Anyway, the people running the stolen goods warehouse intermediaries are committing felonies, regardless of whatever proposition or do-good D.A. people are huffing about. Where are the detectives? Where are the prosecutors? Where is the state of California?
Ironically, kexts allow me to have better backups in the first place. APFS won’t check for bit rot, nor does it allow to make snapshots.

I recently moved from SF to Texas. I walked into a Walgreens for the first time here in TX and thought I was in the Truman show…everything was suspiciously clean, well organized, and friendly.

Under normal circumstances, insurance protects against unlikely but catastrophic events (health insurance in the US is a weird exception). Even if shoplifting insurance exists, I can’t imagine how it would be cheaper than just eating the loss.
Canadians are unhappy but maybe in ten years they will be happy with a population whose minds remained healthy because bandwidth costs luckily created a controlling feedback mechanism to otherwise addictive social media.
Not quite.

a) we don't know how the recommender works, and it changes over time, and some problematic recommendations have been found even in absence of actively seeking out problematic content, and

b) it's not journalists but researchers from mozilla and scientists from the University of Exeter.

Brutal. I'm on Mint which costs something like $240 a year for 2x 10GB plans. But they don't cut you off or charge you more if you go over. They just throttle you a bit more during congestion events. It costs me less than a cent to visit reddit, under the pessimistic assumption that they throttle me to zero after I use my 10GB.
I have been quite happy with my grandfathered 6gb for $30 plan from Freedom Mobile. Their currently available plans aren't so bad either. In the past they have had poor signal compared to Rogers but these days it's fine for me in Toronto.

For example you might want to consider their current 10GB for $40 plan here: https://www.freedommobile.ca/en-CA/plans?planSku=Freedom%202... (note there are some conditions to get the full 10GB of data)

One reason this topic is hard to talk about, I think, is that, "what is best for my kid" and "what is the best strategy for a roomful kids from various backgrounds" are often not the same thing; in fact, they can be in direct opposition to one another. Educators think about the latter, naturally, but parents think primarily about the former.

The definition in the report is poor. Yes, you always need to advertise to a segment. No, you don't have to spy on users to do it.

How? Make a website about something and select advertisements that are relevant to the sort of people who are probably interested in the topic of the website. ReadTheDocs has already spun off an ad business that advertises tech stuff to readers of ReadTheDocs because it's reasonable to assume that is the audience that is perusing ReadTheDocs pages.
