The problem is the oppression of gendered expectations towards men is much more abstract because it is framed as empowerment.

Men aren't supposed to cry or show emotions other than anger except in extreme situations (e.g. birth of a child or death of a close relative or romantic partner) but stoicism is seen as a demonstration of strength and rationality.

Social attitudes for men embrace self-destruction but because men are taught adherence to these ideals is the only valid way to seek affirmation, giving them up feels even more damaging because you have nothing else left. This is why positive role models are important but in order to be effective they need to function as role models in the traditional expectations as well.

I think a good example is Terry Crews, who fits the traditional masculine role model of being an accomplished athlete, actor and father, but also broke the silence on sexual assault against men, as well as being an activist against sexism and expressing emotional depth in his characters. Role models aren't enough but they help normalizing non-conforming gender expressions, reducing the resistance faced by people in the real world.

We won't get rid of archaic gender roles overnight, but fighting sexism, homophobia and transphobia (and racism, but that's a story for another time) goes a long way towards allowing men to express themselves differently without having to fear being told they are "unmanly" because being told your behavior is "girly" or "gay" no longer works as an insult if you don't see these adjectives as signaling something "lesser" than how you want to be seen.

In short, women's liberation was easier because sexism meant women were seen as inferior and demanding to be able to do "things men do" was empowering. Men's liberation is more difficult because we didn't overcome sexism and thus men behaving "like women" is still seen as inferior rather than empowering. A good demonstration is how women rejecting their "empowerment" by embracing femininity are recuperated by conservatism.

My understanding was that Cixin's book gave it the name "Dark Forest," along with the eerie analogy.

I don't see that as a counterpoint, but more of a post hoc theory. How could the eradicators detect and destroy their victims before we detected any signal at all from the victims? And why haven't the eradicators come for us yet?

Of course, this could always be explained by the distances involved and the limitations of light speed, but that would make the Dark Forest hypothesis redundant as an explanation as to why we haven't yet detected any alien civilisation(s).

Carbs are sugar strung together. They are quickly chopped up and metabolized, raising your blood sugar level. To maintain homeostasis the liver responds with a squirt of Insulin. Insulin signals to your fat cells to start storing the excess sugar, which would otherwise poison you by hyperglycemia.

In a normal high fat/ low carb diet, you feel full after eating, and your blood sugar returns to normal. At this point your fat cells can release those sugars back to the blood stream (to prevent hypOglycemia). But with a low fat diet your body doesn't get enough vitamins and minerals (most of which are fat soluble and removed, or made indigestiable without fat) so you stay hungry. You are forced to eat more of this high sugar food, which keeps your blood sugar high and prevents your fat cells from completing the second part of the fat/glucose cycle. So your fat cells swell and divide, making you bigger, and the bigger you are, the more nutrients your body demands. The obesity epidemic began in 1980 when the USDA began dictating a high carb diet.
My daughter is insulin dependent.

We live in the UK - which has a fantastic free provision for diabetics, my daughter has a Diasend artificial pancreas (on her phone + a sensor on her arm and a pump for the insulin controlled by the app). This gives her very very high levels of control and flexibility.

However, when covid hit I was really scared because I thought that if things went really wrong (beyond loo paper being sold out) there would be no possibility of me protecting my daughter - I simply had no means to provide insulin for her that don't depend on a large scale modern pharma supply chain.

Any way that was viable for insulin to be made in a shed or a garage would be huge from my perspective because it would give me an option in the case of a SHTF situation - right now I haven't got one. If things go bad, my daughter dies - no if's no buts. I know (in my heart) that the reality is that if SHTF then I will die too, but the sheer hopelessness of my daughters position is really hard to take.
I actually got the pro controller over the joycon issues. I'll be damned if I'm going to buy new joycons for the drift to happen again.

That issue alone is bad/wide-spread enough they should replace joycons for free.

Really interested in how to fix this. Strength training?
Thanks everyone for the insights. I found that the first thing I had to do was own up to the things that I genuinely felt could have been done better. The second thing i also had to do was to not accept false narratives. I have done both. Also there is plethora of lessons learnt. And ultimately I am a human as well and will fail at times. I am glad I reached out to HN for perspective.
I quick skim a lot of my rss feed articles and routinely save the longer ones to pocket.
Great article!

So, let me see if I get this straight...

cdnjs is a CDN for javascript libraries. cdnjs has a "library update server", in which an "auto-update script" runs periodically to update the libraries that the CDN offers. If it finds a new version of a library, it downloads the files from the library's git repository, and it publishes them on the CDN.

There can be symlinks in git repositories, but the "auto-update script" doesn't handle them correctly. And that's the core of the vulnerability.

If you own the git repository of a library published by cdnjs, you could add a symlink to the git repository. The symlink could point to a file that you want to access on the cdnjs "library update server". Then, as soon as the "auto-update script" runs, the file's contents will be public to everyone on the CDN.

But how would you manage to create a malicious library and have it approved by cdnjs? That's the part of the exploit that sounds the hardest, and I don't see a reasonable way to go about it.
"but inelegantly."

Yes. Bjarne an co. are reluctant, with good reason, to prefer to extend C++ with objects rather than syntax. The reason being: if you've goofed with your object design, everyone can simply ignore the object, but if you've goofed with your syntax, then you've committed everyone for all eternity.

Dealing with variants via the visit() mechanism is pretty verbose, and I couldn't help but think that a nice bit of syntactic sugar wouldn't go amiss there.

I was interested in the new coroutine feature in C++. That would seem like a fantastic feature to use on microcontrollers because it implements cooperative multitasking.

But aye carumba, The tutorials I've seen on them have blown my mind. Overcomplicated much? I wonder if, at the end of the day, coroutines are fundamentally incompatible with the notion of a stack, and that you're always going to be trying to nail a square peg into a round hole if you try to do it.
As far as I can tell Facebook watch/gaming has no advertising whatsoever and creators on it get 100% of user subscription s (30% YT and 50% twitch)

I don't think it's controversial to say they shouldn't get revenue from something not related to their content.

Lots and lots of very small streamers are also contract salaried by Facebook in 1 year deals. So it's also not quite true
RoseTTAFold: Accurate protein structure prediction accessible to all
You could see some of the despair setting in over the last few seasons of his show on CNN. Basically, he had been so many places in the world so he was revisiting a lot of places and was basically in mourning over the fact that they’re all the same now. Even places like Hanoi that shouldn’t be. There’s a lot of mourning over “the old ways” over those last few seasons.

If you watch some of his early shows, he was enchanted by the street food scene in Asia. But places like Bangkok and Shanghai cracked down hard on unlicensed street vendors over a decade ago, and the places that were lively environments in the mid-2000s have been gone for a long time.

Anecdotally, I tried to find street food in Shanghai and the only places were a few vendors next to the train station. I was told by the guide I hired that there really wasn’t much anymore and that western diets were all the rage among the under-40 crowd. In its place were sterile food courts with bright signs and cartoon mascots.
The energy requirement to send a life destroying device to a far away planet might be much less than the energy requirement to send colonizers. That may be the big leap so to speak.
He is clearly a Tesla fan, and usually covers Tesla in favor light. He is far from the fanboy however, and even addressed fanboyism issue specifically:

https://electrek.co/2021/04/05/tesla-toxic-superfans-giving-...

Tesla still gets majority of coverage, understandably given that they were pretty much the only game in town until a few years ago (Nissan Leaf notwithstanding), but EV vehicles and motorbikes in general are very well presented.
Correct, you're not a lawyer. IANAL either but I know enough to know people can't generally waive their rights. If they could then every website would just say "you are waiving your GDPR rights if you continue using this site" and be done with it.

Individually humans are hard to predict... but a flock of humans might not be so hard to predict :)

That said: it's easy to underestimate the power of economics. Once natural resources becomes expensive, we'll find ways to minimize, recycle and migrate to renewable resources.

The biggest risk is if we don't limit pollution.
>What could he possibly dream about at the end?

Balance. Not to be flippant, and I also enjoy AB's work, but no one thing or set of things is never the answer to sustainable peace of mind.

Ironically, one thing that made AB's character so appealing was his balance of ex-junkie hardness and childlike wonder.

There's a great Velvet Underground song, I Found a Reason, with the lyric, 'Oh, I do believe / If you don't like things you leave / For some place you've never gone before.' That place isn't necessarily a 'place.' No one ever does everything. You will die with meat still left on the bone. Take comfort in that.
>Every time I read about GDPR compliance, it feels like a very well-designed set of guidelines that are easy to follow ... IF you aren't stalking users.

There's a difference between being compliant and being _in compliance_. There's a real cost to the latter. Why should sites that primarily serve non-European readers bother with it? The assumption that they don't because they're all greedily stalking users is a misguided, but popular, cynical take.

1. Hijack an existing library to publish the malicious version

2. or, Have us approve what looks like a legitimate library, which later publishes a malicious version
Your whole post is of the form: “Here’s the solution.” It’d have been much better if it was in the form: “Here’s what worked for me.”
I would like to see more effort towards making alternative foods acceptable to people. For example, I think that there could be a big difference between trying to get people to eat a plate of raw grubs versus a tofu like food produced from grub protein.

Perhaps seaweed could be used to produce something equivalent to tortillas or bread?
Totally fair, that's why I want to launch asap and need devs for it. I'm well aware of this trap. I also already sold similar products to companies, and now pivoting to b2c.

Well, it helps. A lot. It's very hard to build relationships from another country, I know everyone will say it's easy because of covid, but it's not for people from third world countries without prior startup/FAANG experience. I might move tho. And yes, problem is highly in myself, but I'm always trying hard to help people and trying to be more open and communicative.

Calculate the Lifetime difference in energy cost and compare the required cost of maintenance. Its much closer already then you think.

Not to mention the EV version will give you a much better driving experience and not be unhealthy to people, specially in cities.

We are just at the start of the S curve adoption, and most cars sold are not sold for £17k but rather £30-40k. For that cost EV are already better.
You're arguing theory.

Delta execs could have come up with the same idea independently.

But they didn't, they literally took the idea off him after they met with him to discuss his solution.

Why are you still arguing about whether it's theoretically possible that they could have come up with it without him?
Even just looking at the picture is already loud. Still a cool idea. The article is a bit low on info how long it can fly. The frame really looks very lightweight, but this was interesting:

Because my design is so much smaller than people have tried or thought about before, it creates an enormous amount of heat. I had to make it fireproof, because I am consuming the same amount of power as 10 houses during flight.

He certainly was able to hide the power source very effectively.
I agree with your points, having experienced both sides. One other thing that I've noticed helps a lot is to have a starter template. It's a lot easier to not procrastinate when you have a structure to think with even if the structure is bad and you end up changing it completely. I tend to procrastinate more when I have to do something from scratch

Of course, that is the plan, but even then it will still be possible to run WebAssebly modules with no permissions or limited permissions, as the sandbox was always there.

On the other hand I need to admit that I would have not forseen some of the more recent use cases for WebAssembly

For the CI Josh is only used to determine if a given commit affects a given workspace. This can be done server side using the Josh GraphQL API. Having this understanding about the dependencies of workspaces understood by the vcs server(in this case Josh) means that such a query can be executed server side before any git clone/fetch needs to happen and in our case also before the CI allocates a machine to do the clone/checkout.

What artifacts are to be build inside a given workspace is totally up tho the build system(s) and tools that work after the files have been checked out to a working copy at which point Josh is not involved at all.

Just because alternatives are not as popular as the default store does not make it anywhere close to being a walled garden. I'm not sure you understand what the term means.
Just to clarify, we won't just mirror any npm package. We have a set list of git repos and npm packages that we pull from, and adding a new one requires a PR to our packages repo which a human must review.
I use it like permanent bookmarks. I can go back to it and trust it'll still be there. And this isn't just "things disappear eventually" - for a specific example, I was working on something rather last-minute recently, and wanted to refer to a vendor's whitepaper - and their entire site was "down for maintenance" all weekend. So I went onto my archive and I still had a copy from my first pass over the topic. It's a free resource, I can't blame them and I can't complain - but if I can make sure it doesn't impact me, even better.

I know other people would still have that tab open from 3 weeks ago, but I just don't work like that.

I'm not going to complain about wayback/archive.org at all, but the nature of the beast is that there's certain requests they have to obey - and with my own offline, non-exposed equivalent, I don't (well, I do, but I simply don't receive them)
I don't think you understand what a walled garden is.

There's a default store, sure.

But there's literally nothing preventing you using a 3rd party store or even installing apks directly on the device.

Sadly, some of the native linux game versions that I've tried were worse(less performant or unstable) than forcing Steam to run the proton version, since they don't get as much dev effort. I'm perfectly ok with this for now, given how well proton already runs. We'd need to find ourselves in a primarily-linux-gaming future first.

Because climate change is the only reason to do something like that - we need to solve the short term issue of pollution, because in the long run (e.g. a few centuries) overpopulation is not a problem as we're going to get a population stabilization and decrease just with current trends without a need to sacrifice anything for it; and we are getting more resource efficient over time, GDP growth has now finally (unlike all history) decoupled from growth in energy use and mineral use, etc.

Climate change is a problem that makes us need a rapid solution right now even if its costly and painful, general depletion of resources really isn't; if it wasn't for climate change then we could just let the replacement of oil to renewables happen "naturally" as oil prices slowly increase as the supply decreases, the usual market incentives would be enough to manage the resource allocation.

Finiteness of resources is not as big of an issue as it looked in 1970s (when the original Limits to Growth study was made) - with a stable or shrinking population (current situation in developed world, soon-to-arrive globally) each person's share of physical resources is the same all the while as each person's need for physical resources (except energy) is not growing now (unlike 1970s), with advances in tech meeting the same needs now requires less resources so we can continue to grow our economy within the limits of the same finite resources.
I used to love playing multiplayer FPS games, without worrying about collecting rare items or my global ranking, because they were fun (e.g. Quake 3). Yeah there's still a "local" ranking (within a game), but the incentive to cheat is a lot lower since it's so localized. Yes people will still cheat, but some of these insane cheating methods won't be worth the effort.

I stopped playing most modern games because they stopped being intrinsically fun. I'd like to enjoy them again.
If you’ve read Electrek for awhile, you’ll note that he sensationalizes virtually everything. He also over simplifies or just blatantly takes things out of context. He does this while trying to make Electrek appear as an actual news website when it is literally just a fanboi blog. He misrepresents the news. This is why much of what he has to say should be taken with a grain of salt.

Have you ever tried to correct something on Wikipedia?

I did, many times its reverted by some account that has more rights than you due to the fact that he wrote more than you.

The system rewards people who write more with more power so the people who already wrote most of it also decide who or what can be added. Its a repository for information but its selected by people who have an aligned bias.

>it does an excellent job of that.

For the most part yes. If i want to read something about an animal, a chemical, a city etc. its perfectly fine. If its about politics related stuff its not. Historical stuff is also questionable sometimes.
Shame the data is only available as a .PDF as far as I can see.
Your parent organization Conscious Digital says it is a non-profit, but what does that mean? Is it a registered 501c something with the US IRS? Non-profit has a specific legal meaning in that case, mainly that donations are tax-deductible, but to get that designation, you have to incorporate, make public who is on your board, and provide copies of your tax returns to anyone who donates. I tried to look around in your various about pages to see whether your organization or the parent has a board or an IRS form 990 I can see and couldn't find anything, just bios about the founders.

Are you actually legally a US nonprofit, and if so, which kind, and are your articles of incorporation and board membership available somewhere for the public to see?
That's my point. Don't. Use throwaway ones whenever it's not critical information and simply avoid the service should they think secure information should be on the mobile network.

At least that's what I do. But so far things only got worse than better.

Services that use SMS as single only way to reset a password without further verifications are simply not thinking about security enough
