This is an incredibly one dimensional view. There is "owner" in the sense of "who currently physically possesses it" and "owner" as in "rightfully, legally belonging to regardless of current physical location".

Freedom in the OP context means we actually own the things we buy rather than existing in a total corporate oligarchy were we only ever lease the temporary right to use a product but never actually own it in the legal sense.
> Whatever happened to “let people be their own judge?

This. In the end, doesn't it come right down to this? The sad thing I've noticed about these discussions when they come up is that they quickly degrade imho into arguments about the merits of points of view rather than whether or not society or corporations should be making the decision on what a person sees or doesn't see on something ostensibly called "YOU"tube. Obvious caveats about lawful/unlawful content aside.

Asking the right questions. To what end indeed
Horrible example but the basic idea is right. Social sciences are probably a better place to point to.
I think there's a number of trends that are all tied to video refereeing:

- Offsides seem to be called more correctly. This is maybe a good thing, the only issue is it's often not obvious to the fans exactly what the law is, ie which body part is the offside point?

- More penalties. Stats are clear on this, the number of penalties in the last year or two has rocketed. I suspect this is because the laws of the game were written before vidrefs were a thing, and when you have video the grey zone can be sharpened. The interesting thing is of course there's been video replays since forever, they just haven't been used by refs. So we can actually go back in time and check if hands-on in the box actually happened just as often.

- More own goals is probably a change in attribution. With vidrefs being a thing you can move away from using common sense and just say "whoever touched it last". For the people who decide the attribution it's easier than deciding those corner cases where someone kicked it but the defender also sorta touched it.
What on earth did you compile? I can't recall ever having compiled a rust project that took more than 10 minutes from scratch.

I do have memories of the days when compiling Chromium or AOSP was a 4 hour battle, though :)
Even with a super generous interpretation of "most non-ferrous metallic ore natural resources" - there's Lithium and other alkali metal salts, mined of dried lake beds. I think Group 2 is similar. Also aluminum from bauxite, which is sedimentary. Too lazy to keep googling counter-examples.

That line needs a lot of qualifiers to be correct. Unless they are using "non-ferrous" in some super bizarre way.
I think the argument they are referring to is the one that because there were tasty flavors, the products were targeting youth... as if adults do not enjoy tasty flavors. That's one way regulators rationalized bans on vaping products. No one is making similar arguments to ban tasty liquor.

I haven't ruled out that they were trying to target youth with their products, but having nice juice flavors is the furthest thing from a smoking gun, and yet it was presented as one.
Yeah, but even Jeet Kune Do has already died out almost entirely in favor of a combination of (Muay Thai, BJJ, and either Greco-Roman wrestling or Judo) aka MMA. Maybe throw in some Krav Maga for defense against common street attacks and you're set.

Realistically, hybrid martial arts have been around for a long time. When I was a kid (long before the MMA hype train), I did Karate, but it also involved learning ~30 judo throws, a lot of jujitsu, as well as a wide variety of weapons (bo, nunchucku, kama, eiku, sai, tonfa) as all of the instructors also were black belts in some Okinawan weapons art. It was a lot of fun and better than any martial arts training I had previously (made the years I spent on Taekwondo feel embarrassing), but still nearly useless against a mediocre Muay Thai and BJJ fighter.
I think scientism is best summed up as the fallacious idea that science is a priesthood rather than a process. Some people really struggle separating the politically neutral idea of using the scientific method to inform policy with the politically charged idea that a scientific technocracy is a desirable state of affairs in my opinion, a problem that's only got worse in recent years.

Science is a powerful contributor to the sum of human knowledge, but it's absolutely not the only pillar of human knowledge and there's a lot of people who think that scientific advancement means we can just do away with philosophy, politics, and other fields like that altogether, as though one day with the right equations all of ethics or culture is just going to pop out of physics. These people don't just throw the baby but the whole nursery out with the bathwater in my opinion!
Wow, that's a striking photo.

"It has been widely reported that in 1923 over 60% of Haiti's land was forested; the source of this assertion remains unknown but may be linked to the U.S. Marine Occupation in Haiti. In 2006, the country was claimed to have less than 2% forest cover."

Unless you can show such a policy, it is reasonable to assume it does not exist. I surely have no way to prove otherwise short of finding complete list of all policies. A good indication is that neither of us heard about it so far.
The Royal Society report on greenhouse gas removal is pretty good. https://royalsociety.org/~/media/policy/projects/greenhouse-...

It's not that greenhouse gas removal cannot be done, but as the article says, it cannot distract from emissions reduction, and it's going to require a huge effort. But we probably require both emissions reduction and greenhouse gas removal.
Wow did I nail the particular brand of agenda you're laying on. Sorry bro, no sale on your randian bullshit.

There is no need for this razzle-dazzle anyhow.

The more ethical solution is to add a beacon to the id card or bracelet or whatever you need to move around the school, like an EZ-Pass. You can use a shielding bag or turn them off or leave them at home when you aren't at school.

You can use human presence sensors to identify people in general and where they aren't. When theres another tragic shooting, you can failsafe open the maglocks or access controls except where people are taking shelter, and either track the person directly or track where there is a person without a beacon.

Then, give cops the regular camera feed for situational awareness.
Stateful API Fuzzing Using RESTler
The premise of this space is that the tokens hold value because of who distributed the tokens (the artist), and what they conceptually represent (the artwork), and this value can exist beyond the scope of the website or platform that originally facilitated their distribution.

For example, some artists on Ethereum are deploying their own token contracts[1], without the need for a distribution platform like Hicetnunc, SuperRare, etc. Once minted, these tokens can be traded on a secondary marketplace such as OpenSea (which may not have taken part in the initial distribution). If those secondary markets fail, the source of truth still lies in the blockchain, and the tokens can still be traded via any new marketplaces that emerge, or via smart contract queries through blockchain explorers like Etherscan, or even via one's own command-line (the web merely acts as a thin interface over these distributed endpoints).

I do agree that artists on Tezos are becoming too centralized to Hicetnunc (compared to, say, NFTs on Ethereum, which tend to be very diverse), but I believe this to be a solvable problem[2].

It matches my experiences too, FWIW. I've never seen anything out of a phone come close to my ancient D90 with f/1.8 35mm lens - with the caveat, for things that the f/1.8 is good at, portraits mostly.

The computational composition (I wouldn't call it photography) done by modern phones also just looks weird. For example, trying to detect foreground and artificially blur the background, leaving a weird in-focus-yet-distant halo of texture around things.
This making money has nothing to do with any intrinsic use-case or value of Bitcoin. As an intermediary (under which I also comprehend banks in terms of "tulip storage") you always make money whether your client wins, loses or absent-mindedly walks over a monetary cliff.

Making money trading or storing something does not mean that something has a use-case (hence the tulips example). So the fact that people make money off other people who think Bitcoin is the best thing since sliced bread does not mean Bitcoin has any use-case or intrinsic value.

I built a diff tool for spreadsheets years ago: https://support.smartbear.com/collaborator/docs/working-with...

Never really worked all that well. I looked for research on how to diff something like that but didn't find anything useful. IIRC the diff works by "serializing" the cell grid, effectively treating each cell as a separate "line" and then running that through a conventional line-based diff algorithm.
i run up to about 500 threads on my Java app with ease, with about 1/3 of them pumping significant data (think stereo streaming audio type data).

I started writing some fancy asynch code, but on checking with a profiler, the thread overhead was pretty negligable, so I left it alone.
> There's a growing perception, verging on conspiracy theory, that big social media companies are deliberately tuning their recommendation engines to promote this misinformation while publicly claiming to do the opposite.

I don't think that this is the perception of many people. I think that many people think (and I think so too) that social networks maximise for engagement quite deliberately. Content that is very engaging can be very good (amazing educational resources) or relatively harmless (cat videos). But, due to human nature, "engaging" videos also include divisive content, propaganda, conspiracy theories, group-think or even just stuff that is highly addictive.

The complaint, therefore, is not that YouTube etc. are actively pushing conspiracy theories—it wouldn't be in their interest to do so necessarily. The issue is that, by trying to maximise engagement, they very deliberately push all the subconscious buttons that may make us behave in irrational ways without caring for the psychological and social cost that this implies, and that any attempt of those networks to curtail the spread of problematic content will never be adequate as long as those underlying mechanisms are still the same.
Well it would be helpful if you did.

Maybe some nice corp would be willing to buy an issue of a journal so that you can publish and distribute the solution!

> Over reliance on science as guidance has also lead to some of the darkest chapters of human history, like phrenology and its use to justify racial supremacy.

Could you clarify this? I understand that humans committed terrible atrocities in the name of "racial supremacy". I also understand that the same people used science as a fig leaf to justify their actions. But you seem to be saying that over reliance on science lead to these atrocities.

I simply can't imagine someone saying "I like these people and normally wouldn't hurt them, but the scientific consensus is so strong therefore I will kill/maim/throw them into a concentration camp." It sounds more likely that the racist ideology was there first, which caused both the racist science and the atrocities both. In other words racist people wanted to commit atrocities and they manufactured excuses for themselves to do so.

But I'm far from an expert on human history, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
If something is addictive (as in actually creating a physical and mental dependence on continued use in significant number of people) - why would you not classify that as harmful?

> The US has a great education system.

Also not a knock on Americans. The US has many great things, but the education system isn't one of those. Sure, there are excellent educational and academic institutions in the US, but that alone doesn't make the country's education system great.

Switzerland has a great education system. There are almost no private schools because public schools do a great job. All universities are almost free and they are still among the top academic institutions globally (e.g., ETH). Furthermore, those who want to learn a trade early on can do apprenticeships combined with schooling instead of going to university and still have a great career. If they wish to go to university later, they can go to a university of applied sciences (Fachhochschule) or catch up on some requiremnts and go to a university.
Yes, you should read the manuals and try it out, given how easy and cheap it is to play around with smaller-instance cloud servers.

I also started writing a tutorial series for practitioners you can check out:

https://github.com/nh2/nixops-tutorial

I've only written 2 tutorials in there so far doing basic things. In the future and as time permits, I'd like to write about how my org implemented various tasks with NixOps, such as rolling deployments, highly available database setups with automatic fallbacks, distributed file systems, how you can patch any software in your stack, how to write reliable systemd services with correct dependencies, and so on.
> How do you get anything done when the cost of testing an idea is several hours?!

I haven't used rust in production, but usually you can just use `cargo check` to only run the typecheck. Using `cargo build` is also usually much faster than `cargo build --release`.

Having said that, at least in my toy projects it was not uncommon to have to compile using `--release` to run the tests (since otherwise the tests would take forever).
While the title of the article is easy enough to understand, and articulates a genuine concern, the article itself is pretty incoherent.

It does not establish clearly why carbon removal is not effective at slowing climate change, while assuming it isn't.

It critisizes as inefficient the early investing strategy to cast a wide net and give money to potentially failing ideas.

It in one place mentions that climate capture cannot "be easily scaled up" because it is "prohibitively expensive and energy intensive", while in the other part it concedes that the technology might progress in the future.

The entire article is laced with emotional contempt of technology and progress, and does little to help you understand the reasons of why you should be concerned with the problem it tries to present.
hahaha indeed! issue of a journal seems to go pretty cheap these days :D
Right, and there is nothing wrong with spectacular fighting for movies, but it did give rise to the idea that this is what actual fighting looks like. Which it doesn't.

Same with aikido - it's fine when people do it as a form of exercise, like lots of Chinese do tai chi, but let's not kid ourselves on the efficacy. I used to train at a place where there was an aikido group before us, and the teacher would always be talking about "do this or that because of this specific thing the samurai did on the battlefield". I wasn't going to be That Guy challenging him in front of his students, but please - you're literally standing there in what actual samurai wore as underwear under their plate armor when going to war, and now you're going to claim that they used some hand-wavy wrist lock to disarm another guy in full armor charging them with a 3 foot sword? To each their own, but at least be honest to yourself and your students. And it's usually these people who have the most self-aggrandazing ideas about "bushido" and how their hocus pocus is somehow morally superior. How are straight up lies and deceit morally superior?

(I know you weren't claiming my last point, I'm just saying that those promoting their fight-like dance choreographies as "martial arts" need to be honest to be able to claim the moral high ground.)
> Just because science says something doesn't mean it's true. Truth must be verifiable.

I don't mean to sound condescending, but if science as a concept 'says' anything, it is exactly that truth must be verifiable.

There absolutely are problems with how study results are weighted. Starting from the way the press reports on findings, up to and including the uncritical acceptance of questionable material by many members of the scientific community.

However, there is no workable alternative to the process of science, because defaulting to whatever people personally like and discarding any inpportune data is certainly not how we move forward as a civilization if we have any ambition to continue our ascent (and we might in fact not have that ambition, but I do like to pretend that we do).

Studies and data in general must be weighted. Sometimes the proper weight is zero. I see little other options but to continue stumbling towards improvement and knowledge. Acting on data will always be an imperfect process on a sliding scale, very few people would disagree with that.

Edit: I would also say that there is a distinction between the opinion that we're generally moving too fast and the opinion that we have severe deficits in how we weigh incoming data. Both of these can be addressed, although the solutions appear to be way easier in the former case. We need to be honest about which camp we're in though.
What’s dangerous is attacking any idea that attempts to manage climate risks in light of humanity’s continuing use of carbon fuels.

The anthropocene is as it is, not as it should be. Emissions reduction, carbon removal, and solar radiation management are all important tools in managing the world we’ve made.

The sooner our cultural narrative expands to accept consequential responsibility, the better.

PISA says America doesn't have a great education system. It used to. Personally, I think this is the greatest threat to American dominance.

And COVID19 in the US can be summarized as: Policymakers and citizens don't understand exponents, let alone differential equations.

A key reason that America doesn't have a great education system is exactly what you've expressed; people don't have any faith that America even COULD have a great education system. That's kinda across the board; America doesn't do big things anymore.

I think choosing not to participate in the “rat race” is a powerful statement.

I write code for fun and, incidentally, I get paid for it, but, for every one like me there is a dozen who are only doing that so they can afford to pay their rent. If I couldn’t get paid to write code and solve problems with that, I’d have to do something else, perhaps something I don’t enjoy at all, in order to provide for my family.

If you can completely avoid doing that, congratulations. You win.
Definitely an own goal, rather than a deflection.

And yet there's some doubt as to whether the OG is attributed correctly. Most people who watch football would say Simon f*cked up badly. But records are gonna say Pedri did it. What we really want records to reflect is the responsible part, no? Even that ends up in a bit of a grey area if we consider that a lot of goals are scored as tap-ins where the credit should really go to someone who unlocked the defense.

> Oh come on, look at your comment above mine in this thread.

Was that comment addressed at you? Please point out an actual example of me engaging in bad-faith argumentation with you. This is what you said, right? That I was engaging in bad-faith argumentation with you (not a third-party: you).

> You're splitting hairs and trying to find minute flaws in the arguments against you instead of actually arguing the points.

Uh... finding flaws in other people's arguments is how rational people argue. If you have a flaw in your argument, it's not a good argument.

Again, please point out a situation in which I'm needlessly splitting hairs with you and avoiding a question you asked.

> I never said all stablecoins, but some certainly look like they are.

Ah! So now that you figured out how bad your argument is, you decide to move the goalposts. You say "stablecoins are essentially fraud", and I'm supposed to interpret that as "some stablecoins are essentially fraud", rather than "all stablecoins are essentially fraud"? Sigh.

If you're not arguing in bad faith, it sure seems like you're going out of your way to make it seem like you are.

I keep forgetting how I'm not supposed to feed the trolls... ah, well...

It may not be "doing it wrong" but different people work in different ways. I know one friend who tried to quit a couple of times by easing off with no luck. However one time they decided to just stop and it worked. They felt like crap for a week or two but then they were off it.
magit does similar things with interactive rebases, although it is keyboard driven (I never tried to use the mouse). Another nice feature is the instant fixup where you can easily commit+rebase+fixup (think of commit --amend, but against any commit).
