> joining the EU is an exercise of free will

This sounds like comments to the effect of "If you don't like how America does X, then leave X." It also frames things in a relativistic sense, as if consent is unconditionally binding and nothing but consent has any moral weight.

Anyway, this isn't as simple as it sounds. First, joining did not give the EU license to make all sorts of weird impositions and to demand these countries cooperate against their own good. Second, countries aren't people. Politicians in those countries at the time put a great deal of energy into promoting entry into the EU among the populace, and referenda results reflected a wish to deal with frustration caused by domestic political realities, and feelings of inferiority, more than some kind of reasoned and responsible decision (I recall speaking with political analysts at the time who felt that entry into the EU was a bad decision, at the very least a premature one).

> I think Brexit showed the way

This may be the only option. But this is politics. The EU is unjust (put aside the propaganda please) and so the moral high ground is not to be found in Brussels. For now, tolerating and resisting bullying from the EU is likely better than exiting. But I don't expect the EU is last another 25 years at this rate, so it might be a matter of waiting out the storm.
"We see no evidence of this issues being misused"

(Because we tried really hard to not investigate it)
The way to dispute it would be to look at actual statistics to figure out if the arbitrators appear to be more biased than regular courts. I think some studies have actually done that and found that there is no inherent bias towards the corporate defendant in arbitration, but I don't have a ready cite in front of me.
National standardization organisations participating in ISO usually make their budgets publicly available. Last time I looked I got an impression that the standards sales are contributing to their budgets (perhaps 1/3 or 1/4 of income). From the annual reports it was a bit unclear why the usual national standardization organization need to have wealth in $50M (instead of between 100'000 and a million) for being able to continue distributing standards.

I think the issue is that EU was founded with an idea that they can copy US creation pattern, but without sufficient consideration of the simple fact that there is a thousand plus years of history that is being crammed into respective citizens' heads including, but not limited to wars with neighbors. It is hard to forget blood; especially if survivors still have a state.

Do not get me wrong. I like the idea of EU. I see its benefits, but the idea ignores lessons of creating new federations. Apart from everything else, I doubt EU would be willing to do the same things US did to maintain its grip.
GitHub isn't good for Open Source in my opinion. Debian is right to use their own GitLab instance. Lots of things seem good in the short term and are bad in the long term.

Edit: I don't really know what things would be like without GitHub. Same with YouTube and Facebook. I don't assume any of these have a net positive impact, though.
You are naive.

Indeed, execution is key, I offered 50% to my initial co-founder, who ended up not joining by lack of time and other commitments, and will gladly offer 50% to my next co-founder if I ever find them. Because I'd rather have 50% of a successful company that makes money than 80% of a failed project, and that's knowing that I already worked a year on it.

Waiving a jury trial is not the same as demanding arbitration. It means that you consent to bench trial (rule by judge alone) instead.
This article reminds me of the story of Fourier. It's hard to tell the history of math without the way in which Fourier series and the heat equation shaped the development and increasing rigor in calculus. The mathematicians of the day were extremely skeptical of infinite sums of trigonometric functions because it didn't fit their "a-priori" model of calculus.

>Here was the heart of the crisis. Infinite sums of trigonometric functions had appeared before. Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782) proposed such sums in 1753 as solutions to the problem of modeling the vibrating string. They had been dismissed by the. greatest mathematician of the time, Leonhard Euler (1707-1783). Perhaps Euler scented the danger they presented to his understanding of calculus. The committee that reviewed Fourier's manuscript: Pierre Simon Laplace (1749-1827), Joseph Louis Lagrange (1736-1813), Sylvestre Francois Lacroix (1765-1843), and Gaspard Monge (1746-1818), echoed Euler's dismissal in an unenthusiastic summary written by Simeon Denis Poisson (1781-1840). Lagrange was later to make his objections explicit.

>Well into the 1820s, Fourier series would remain suspect because they contradicted the established wisdom about the nature of functions. Fourier did more than suggest that the solution to the heat equation lay in his trigonometric series. He gave a simple and practical means of finding those coefficients, the ai, for any function. In so doing, he produced a vast array of verifiable solutions to specific problems. Bernoulli's proposition could be debated endlessly with little effect for it was
only theoretical. Fourier was modeling actual physical phenomena. His solution could not be rejected without forcing the question of why it seemed to work.[0]

I picture this in my head as Fourier setting some shit on fire, hand calculating Fourier coefficients, then just pointing and yelling "SEE! SEE!" at Poisson and Lagrange.

[0]: A Radical Approach to Real Analysis - David Bressoud
From the article:

> "I spent my last day in Los Angeles riding on a Segway, buying legal marijuana and staring at some turtles in an on-campus pond at UCLA. I was unsettled yet intrigued by Britton’s message. Some of the adverse experiences she had described were similar to challenges I had faced. But, at this point I was a decade into my intensive mindfulness meditation practice. I was too deep to get out. "

There's just so many things that is bad with this new-new age wave.

First of all, doing spiritual practices generally do not go hand-in-hand with taking drugs. Just taking marijuana or hash may bring panic attacks, and even psychotic episodes. If you rely on drugs to keep your emotions in check, you're already dealing with them wrong. Meditation together with drugs won't help that, but may worsen things if done intensively.

Second, there's no such thing as "intensive mindfulness meditation practice". Mindfulness is gentle and short, and more about stillness than meditation.

Third, "intensive meditation" is something everybody should be wary about. Max 20 minutes is recommended per day, and there is no need to do more in order to "get anywhere faster". Most important of all, do it with an experienced teacher you trust. The most important ingredient in meditation is to let go and relax, and is not yet another "work".

In the end, something can always go wrong. Not everyone can deal with meditation, and not sure if there's a way to ensure to filter out people. Often people come to classes because they have some issues, not when everything's alright. So there are already things to deal with. Recommended is that people doing medication like antipsychotics, should be prescreened from joining class.

In the end, meditation is a powerful tool. But not sure the stress of Western life is the right way to channel the clarity and calmess one may get from it. You may come back from long retreats, but need tools to deal with the stresses in modern day life. So just meditation may be too confusing or not enough, to deal with one's life once more.

The conditions that allowed Hitler to rise to power were created by the "winners" of WWI with the treaty of Versailles. These are not masses of sheep being led around by brilliant propaganda, they're often people who don't think they have anything to lose by voting for the extreme nationalist over the status quo.
> Hungary has the full support of Poland and the V4 - any major blowback would result in shattering itself.

Countries can only be kicked out of the EU with unanimity of all states except the one being kicked out. But Poland and Hungary have a pact to support each other, so that can't happen. I suspect though that if Hungary and Poland pissed off the EU in a big way, the other states would all leave and simultaneously form a new EU2021.
I've tried... so often... to use it for anything. It's fantastic as a concept, but for some reason would always translate into a pain when using it.

With things like docker-images it could have solved the hosting issue beautifully given they both use hash-addressing but there was always something like an unexplained incredibly slow bootstrap time, or problems with IPNS, or no real way to bind domains to hashes. It always felt like there wasn't a pratical "problem" they were trying to solve.
I am a programmer, and I bill by the hour. I don't have to come up with estimates of how long something will take, when that is normally not possible to accurately guess, and then try to convince my client not to ask for features they now realize they want. If it's worth it to them to add something, they can add it. If they would be willing to argue for it, but not actually pay anything for it, then it gets dropped. This means I only work on features they actually really care about.

Yeah, it means I think of myself as a hired hand. That is, in fact, what I am. This is their project; I give my opinion, but they are the ones who are going to use it. Billing by the hour keeps my mindset right where it should be; this is their project, and I am helping them with it.
One thing that many people (including myself at times) are prone to is an irrational fear that their idea will be stolen. This wouldn’t be such a big deal if this fear didn’t cause people to repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot. Countless ideas never got off the ground because the innovator refused to talk to investors or partners without an NDA or withheld important details.

By far the biggest risk to any idea is that it never gets off the ground. It’s orders of magnitude more likely that you’ll get a zero outcome than anything else. Zero users. Zero adoption. Zero product.

For anyone in this position, you’d be better off if the idea was stolen. Because at least you’ll be known as the original version of the thing that big tech ripped off. That’s almost certainly good for a few percent market share. Which is way better than zero.
Perhaps you don’t need to read it twice.
Neat to see, wonder how realistic it is or if it's something that we should be skeptical of until it actually gets built.

I signed up for Copilot’s waiting list yesterday and I am looking forward to trying it, with some skepticism.

That said, I find OpenAI’s beta APIs based on GPT-3 to be very useful (so useful that I immediately released new versions of my Common Lisp and Clojure books with examples). These APIs are so inexpensive to use and useful, that they really should be part of many developers’ standard stack: different than Copilot that seems like a gimmick (but to be fair, I haven’t tried it yet).

That sounds exactly like it was used sparingly: Apple have a lot more than 12 products.

I've never heard of iLife, iTools, iWeb, iWork or iSight so its use in flagship products is even more sensibly sparing.

iTunes has been replaced by Apple Music, and possibly iMovie too???

It's also worth noting Apple has been somewhat mocked got their overuse of i. Despite the sparing use. So KDE tacking it onto everything is even less sensible in this context.

I think the K naming has probably hampered adoption of KDE products in the long term: I was always resistant to install K* apps when I was using a non-KDE desktop due to compatibility paranoia, something I tended not to even consider when installing gnome/gtk apps for example (which tend mostly not to be prefixed with g or gtk- or similar)

My seller account got banned because they retroactively added some <$1fee, and then automatically banned the account because the fee was "past due". I paid the fee, but that wasn't enough to get my account reactivated. All communications I sent seem to go into a black hole, tickets I opened were closed without any resolution, etc.

The thing that finally did it for me, was when I went to cancel my AWS account. The AWS get rep got involved, and my seller account magically got unbanned within a day.
I do something similar with my home mail server (not sure I'd go with self-hosting if I started fresh today, but it has run without issue other than maintenance for upgrades & such for well over a decade). I have a second copy running in a low spec VM. Every day it wipes itself down and restores the latest backup, I check regularly (a couple of times per week) to see that it is running and has copies of recent mail (that part could be more automated but I've never go round to it...). It wasn't setup for DR specifically, but it is on a separate network so if push came to shove I could ramp up its resources, change a few DNS settings, open up relevant bits of its firewalling, and have it take over, if the main server failed in a way it hadn't copied yet.

It is not that the semantic community was not warned - philosophers, linguists, archivists, librarians, historians, we talked and talked to our IT counterparts but could not get through - too much love for technology, not enough study of humans... So it is interesting to read as someone who is interested in archival sciences and history...

the woes of the archive, the problems of wrongly categorized stuff, perhaps even due to political reasons (famously Diderot's encyclopedia in the 18th century linked from "eucharistie" to cannibal, showing how political linking can be) are as old as people trying to sort, use and abuse archives - would be great, if some dialogue might have created a middle ground between dumb full text vs semantic search... with some magic AI put over it ;)

Is it naive to suggest that we try something similar to 3rd party security audits? If a journal or institution submits itself to multiple 3rd party audits, which are allowed to test a variety of nasty tactics to get bunk science approved or published by them, it could potentially be a good way to keep them honest. Unless, of course, they collude and become rubber stamps (like certain food labels in the US).
If you stay in NYC and have kids, I'll be interested in your perspective then. I lived in NYC for a long time, and now live in the NYC suburbs. All your criticisms of suburbs are spot-on, IMO, even here in the NYC metro, but at the same time I don't think living IN the city with kids really would have worked out either. NYC is great because it's a true city, but it's very large, very loud, and still part of the broader American culture where you need to pay for what are arguably essential services such as good schools, physical safety, etc. We don't have a lot of in between options in the US though -- only here on the east coast do we have much urbanism, with NYC being the biggest and most intense by far, but pretty much everything else is suburban or exurban. I suspect this will be different within, say, 150 years, though of course that's a prediction I won't be able to check.
Yep, the extent to which people are allowed to renew their license in the U.S. is very nearly criminal (both in the cases of old age and in previous history of driving impaired or recklessly). It's one of the less talked about externalities of the States being a car-based culture. Here, driving is considered a right more than a privilege, whereas in most other first world countries (e.g. most of Europe) the opposite is true.
Turkey did not start the war in Syria, but they do share a border with them, and have a responsibility to secure their border from a failed state. They took in more refugees than any other country in the world, which has a massive impact on their economy and security. Requesting economic aid from the EU to deal with this is not blackmail. The EU benefits massively from keeping Syrians in Turkey, because Syrians primarily use it as a pass through on their way to Europe.

Have you made the Genie maintenainers aware of your problems?
In terms of something like embedded systems, aerotech, etc., the specification extends all the way to the unit. In terms of an SaaS, the specifications extend all the way to business logic such as (cartoon examples):

- don't charge the customer twice

- or when I click submit on the front-end the following possibilities happen according to the back-end response

- or when the back-end receives x, the inventory should be updated according to this business logic, as well as y

Say if you're doing this capital-A Agile style, all of these should be present on the acceptance criteria for any user story. As someone who's worked in rapid applications development for mobile, I can say reaching this level of specification increases speed, and reduces redundant communication. It often doesn't take half an hour for someone to write, and then it's iterated on by the team before implementation, and during.

From their comments, many of the channel watchers appeared to be young (less than 20).

> One of the lessons people refuse to see in politics is that the people who vote for things they don't like might, potentially, be upset about something.

And one of the lessons other people refuse to see is that appeasement of hate generally just leads to more hate. This is what we're seeing in the US right now, where what seems to be a majority fraction of one of the major parties is captured by an escalating rhetoric of hate. The angrier they get, the more votes they get. You can't placate that, because at the end of the day it's feeding on ITSELF, not a fundamental injustice.

You really think that American voters are so outraged about vaccines or masks because of a genuine concern for good modern medical practice? No, they hate that stuff because it's pushed by the people they already hate. So now they hate them more.
