Instead of being Neighborhood vs Nursing home, I think it is more of rural versus urban.

If you live out in the country, generally you can do whatever you want with your property. You can grow food, have livestock, have 15 cars that you are repairing, etc. However, you won’t have as much social interaction as in a big city and you won’t have the entertainment and culture ( no Broadway or Met) and you will be responsible for providing more of your own services (for example, you will likely have your own well for water).

If you live in an urban area, say NYC, you will be more regulated in what you can do. In addition, the city will have its own taxes and fees and more regulations about what employment in the city. The benefit is that you will have more interaction with people and more of your services will be provided by the city.

I think this more accurately captures Purism vs Apple/Google. Purism will give you more freedom, but you will likely have to do more stuff yourself. You also won’t be able to benefit as easily from the developed ecosystems that Google and Apple have.

Beside the difference in scale, there are also different incentives. The bartender typically doesn't sell your data. They probably don't have a list of favourite drinks which they could share with others, they just have the information in their head.

As soon as that data can be collected and sold at scale, there's an incentive to collect and sell as much data as possible, without any repercussions.

Spreading rumours doesn't pay the bills, so there's no large scale incentive to spread them.

No, contracting as many military functions out as possible was spun as making things 'more efficient' by the Bush administration. Forcing the pentagon to go with the absolute lowest bid has been an enormous source of waste when every contractor goes over budget because they had to lie about how cheap they could do it to get the contract.

I think like, Vietnam and South Korea did exceptionally well?

Think Vietnam eventually started getting hit though because of other countries lack of handling things, tourism, and the general fact that they're not by any means a rich country. So, they did surprisingly well given what they had, but eventually got dragged down by the rest of the bullshitters.

This is all off the top of my head in remembering things though, may be incorrect.
I have a question, so assuming that we adopt the axiom(s) that cause real numbers to be cardinality Aleph_2 and not Aleph_1, is then there some intuitive explanation how does the set of size Aleph_1 looks like, and what it could be used for?
That piece reminds me of my doctoral thesis and its creation. It took me quite some time as I had a full-time job during the day, but in the evenings, on the weekends, I worked on my research. It was long, it was tedious, and I had my share of detours and fuck-ups, but I managed to finish it, defend it and graduate.

Please note: this approach is not for the faint of heart - working on one topic for years means that you can never really relax. There is always something to think about. So you should really consider if that's your cup of tea.
We would need to build thousands of nuclear plants, adapting each plant for its location (so you can’t mass-produce a single design), and we don’t have the skilled people to do that. In addition, they will take decades to build, we lack enough fuel for those plants, and we still haven’t solved the disposal problem.

Solar panels, batteries, and wind mills are comparatively easy to produce at ridiculous volumes. They’re a cheaper, faster and cleaner solution.

The evidence is unambiguously clear. The "but there's no double blind randomly selected placebo controlled trial" line is becoming tiresome. There is sufficient data for prophylactic efficacy to justify widespread preventive dosing. There is sufficient data to justify use in treatment at all stages after infection. There is 4 decades worth of data on widespread use with billions of human doses to demonstrate its safety, with both accute and chronic use, saving countless lives.

The mental contortions and ethical gymnastics people are displaying in opposition to ivermectin even being discussed is pretty impressive.

There's a lot of heat and not much light from the folks hurling the conspiracy theory epithets. Disregard the arguments and noise and acquire the data for yourselves - tens of millions have already been treated, and hundreds of thousands of lives saved by countries that have deployed ivermectin. It appears to be as effective on novel variants and seems to be as good or better than vaccinations in preventing infection. Figure out the he said she said nonsense later.
They traded exclusivity for a minimum order size. I'm not sure I would read that negotiation as setting a sunset date on their overall relationship at the end of 2024, and I definitely wouldn't read it as AMD being totally free prior to 2025.

1.6B is half a quarter's revenue for AMD. Milan has been a slam dunk; there's obviously some value over at GloFo for AMD, and it wouldn't be a no-tears breakup (hypothetically speaking).

I don't dispute that GloFo's role in AMD's strategy will necessarily change if it becomes part of Intel.

Are there statistics on how many things were successfully fixed vs how many ended up in the maintenance center? If not, that is a possible survivorship bias, kind of.

Rather the opposite. I think it ended up as part of several compute clusters because the console was sold for less than it cost to produce, something normally offset by game sales. So suddenly Sony had a large market that only cost it money.
Huh? Solar power generation at scale is exactly such a thing. Wind power, too. Also hydroponics are a thing at the industrial scale now as is desalination of seawater. These are not magic bullets but they do fix a lot of things.

Can we all agree that none of these stack up to what the PSP was in it's day?

Not in performance of course. But the form factor and the experience.
Adam Curtis, in his movie HyperNormalisation, talked of a theory that this kind of activism disappeared around the 70s and 80s. It's the kind that requires banding into groups, to a significant extent giving up individuality. According to the theory this is also the death of politics: the hyper individuality took away politic's power and left only spectacle and populism. The way he told it was that the hippy revolution back-fired: the look-within insight turned into consumerism and heightened individuality. My retelling is a bit scattered. The movie is well worth a watch.
Just close your eyes. Or turn off the screen.
I tried Go and I have an opposite experience. To me Go looked like a very limited, incomplete and non-principled language that makes easy things look easy but hard things ugly or (near) impossible. I put it on the same shelf as Python and Basic. Things like using product type instead of sum type for returning errors really put me off.

But that's probably due to past experience and personality type. I mostly enjoy working in powerful and expressive languages: e.g. Rust, Scala, C++.

// edit: oh, someone have already said that: can't love Rust and Go at the same time ;)
Because increasing minimum wage is popular politics but it doesn't really solve the issue, and that is even if policymakers are capable of coming together to agree on how to make a 'livable' minimum wage (a livable wage in rural midwest is not the same as NY or SF for example), and how to keep that wage at a livable level without having to go through the political quagmire we currently are going through every 10-20 years. It isn't even clear that the minimum wage should be livable in the first place, as that also has its own costs as capital is liquid enough to go elsewhere leading to a race to the bottom.

Policymakers have shaped the economic system in a way that suppresses the value of unskilled labor, and simply forcing the increase has serious costs which most people don't appreciate, costs that are harder to bear for some compared to others, for example huge multinationals are much better equipped to deal with said costs compared to smaller, independent businesses. The appeal to emotion regarding this is especially dangerous since it often ignores the reasons why the problem persists, and when the problem is as difficult as this is, there are many potential pitfalls when creating a solution (especially a popular one), which can lead to making things even worse than before. The road to hell is paved with good intentions after all.

I think it is a little disingenuous to characterize people who are critical of concepts like a livable minimum wage the way you have, wage insecurity is a serious and complex problem that wont be solved simply by controlling the price of labor.

Ian Shapiro has a lecture about wage insecurity in his power and politics course at Yale that discusses UBI, minimum wage and other alternatives which I think provides a decent, but brief overview of the issues faced regarding policies like this. Here is a link specifically to where he starts to discuss the idea of 15$ minimum wage.

I bricked my system once due to not reading release notes (but that was closer to 2010 than 2020). Release notes were kind enough to outline solution for systems broken due to not reading the release notes.

However, I stopped using arch mainly because I was working with ROS at the time, where every boost upgrade triggered half-a-day recompilation of ROS and it's various plugins.
Is there any reasonable evidence for this? I've seen this claim repeated many times but if it's such an ultimate truth there must be some actual evidence for it. When I read Wikipedia i find individual bias in articles - say American folk heros are portrayed very favourably. Company pages will be filled with twisted narratives. Scientology pages are battlegrounds as their stooges fight for every word. But I cant see any inherent left wing bias. If anything I (as a European) would say English Wikipedia is right-wing biased and overly religious as that reflects the slanted american political spectrum - but again my personal perception from the articles I've read and I would be able to find examples but have no objective evidence for this.

If I were Intel and a deal were really in the works contingent on antitrust, I would argue that:

(a) Intel is a distant third in fabrication and a merger with another also-ran would improve competitiveness against state-backed TSMC and the Samsung chaebol;

(b) the severity of the demand creation in the market justifies an acquisition that streamlines existing players and makes them more productive than the sum of the deal's parts; and

(c) bringing GloFo under a US-owned corporate umbrella is vastly beneficial to the national interest in a way that only Intel can fully enable.
These are distinct issues:

> for a lot of people there is no truth

> I don't believe in your religion or any other

> The bible is written by people, translated by people, and interpreted by people...the fidelity of the text is poor at best.

Briefly:

> for a lot of people there is no truth

A lot of people don't think clearly and have been misled. Do you and I exist in some form? Are we having a conversation? There: two truths. Dismissing truth as unknowable is a kind of, shall we say, cognitive off-ramp one may use when uninterested in working harder to find it. It's also a rhetorical trick used by some to shut down conversations they don't want others to have.

> I don't believe in your religion or any other

Framing philosophy as a matter of religion is a common way to dismiss a line of inquiry before it begins. It's also a rhetorical trick, a form of tribalism, a way to "other" those whom one disagrees with.

The modern distinction between religious and irreligious matters is ultimately a contrivance. The question of the nature of reality knows no such distinction.

What matters is not what label we apply to a philosophy; what matters is whether it is true. In this sense, everyone has a religion, whether or not they label it so. In modern terms, one may call it a worldview.

> The bible is written by people, translated by people, and interpreted by people...the fidelity of the text is poor at best.

That is your subjective evaluation: "poor at best." How do you know this? What research have you done into the texts available? Have you studied the original languages and ancient texts? How do these texts compare with other ancient documents, ones whose authenticity is not commonly questioned in the field? Is it legitimate to boil down an entire field of research, practiced over thousands of years, to three dismissive words?

One aspect that I think isn't common knowledge: You shouldn't use javascript libraries from CDNs. It's less secure, has less privacy and is slower than selfhosting.

Why is it less secure? You're adding an additional point of attack. Someone could compromise the CDN or they could stop operating and the domain will fall to someone else. (And it doesn't really matter if your CDNs security is better or worse than your own hosting security - if you use a CDN it adds security risk and does not take away the risk from whatever other hosting you're using.)

Why privacy? Your CDN can at the very least read the IPs of your visitors (+ they could add cookies, which will usually not happen but still is a possibility) and you may need to worry about legal issues (e.g. adding it to your GDPR statement).

Finally performance: I guess many people will use a CDN "because it's faster" - except it's not.
In the past there used to be the argument that the JS may already be cached. However that's no longer the case as for security reasons browsers partition the cache based on the origin.
It's always faster to fetch a resource over the same connection compared to opening up a new connection to a different host.

So: Don't fetch your JS from CDNs, just put it in your webspace and fetch it from there.
That is incredible. Why did GloFo think they could just take the 1.5B and not deliver? I guess if they don't have to pay too much damages it's a huge free loan...
It was exactly what is stated in the article: shortage of energy. US consumes several times more energy per capita than even Europe. At the same time industrial output of US is small and diminishing with every year.

US needs more oil. Hence all the wars. Iraq - oil. Libya - oil. Syria - oil (US occupied all oil deposits in Syria where and extracts it without giving anything back to the people of Syria).

Afghanistan - I'm not sure, but considering that during US occupation, production of heroine in Afghanistan went up orders of magnitude, and many visitors to Afghanistan reported that US guarded poppy fields, probably it was due to drugs. Kill two birds with one stone: get rich from selling drugs, finance other wars and coups with drug money, and flood geopolitical enemies that happen to be located next to Afghanistan borders with the most powerful drug.

The next target will be also rich in oil, although it would be definitely said that it's only because of lack of democracy in the said country.

Bullshit. If anything, widespread misinformed beliefs were ever more common and deeply rooted prior to the modern digital age. Today many people do indeed pick up stupid concepts and begin to believe them, but the very same system of rapid digital communication of ideas, and evidence, that you seem to think worthy of censorship today also rapidly allows people to convince others of how false their more foolish ideas are. Truthful information may indeed travel more slowly than misinformation (though I'd love to see a citation for this constantly repeated claim) but good, evidence based information is also now easier than ever to find. This is a direct result of open, free expression of ideas in the digital sphere with fewer restrictions than at any time in history. I can't think of an easier way to crush such a good basic thing than some idiotic, misguided and emotionally driven crusade against "misinformation", or fake news.

cdnjs and similar CDNs should be considered mirrors of what they are serving, so they don't do any security checks on it. It is best not to use these services, especially since cache-partitioning and http2 makes them obsolete.
> “By collapse, I mean a drastic decrease in human population size and/or political/economic/social complexity over a considerable area, for an extended time.”

What I like about this description is that it mentions "over a considerable area". Collapse has happened historically over a limited part of the world at a time. It is this "collapses" that allow neighboring civilizations to thrive. The Ottoman Empire would have not existed without the "collapse" of Rome.

When we think about culture we get into the Theseus ship problem. When the Roman civilization ended and the next one started. What happens if we stop classifying civilizations as something named and concrete and instead we see it as a fluid movement of power between regions and ideologies?

Collapse is possible, ask the dinosaurs. But, when I read articles like this one where the stages from 1 to 4 are about money and power I get suspicious that it can be more about a change of rulers, a collapse of a ruling class, more than what we usually refer as collapse.

> Collapse can occur at different times for different people. You may never quite know that collapse has happened, but you will know that it has happened to you personally, or to your family, or to your town. The big picture may not come together until much later, thanks to the efforts of historians.

I think that this part goes a little on that direction. The "collapse" is more an label for a period that a personal experience for most people in the period.

> Collapse is certainly inevitable if we continue down our default path.

I cannot agree on this as stated. "our default path" means the current leadership priorities and mindset. But part of humanity "default path" is adaptation. In any society you have followers, you have nonconformists, cheaters and heroes. If "everything continues likes it is today" that will be the biggest change in human history, as it never does.

> How do I talk to others about collapse?

You don't. Collapse wants to be a self-fulfilling prophecy. What you do is you talk with others about the challenges of the future and how to solve them, we are good at that. Let's leave "Collapse" for science fiction movies were it belongs.
