> The idea that some people know better than us and want less money is frankly bizarre.

What is frankly bizarre is the belief that wages are just made up values that you can set to whatever you want, that they are completely disconnected from any notion of what value the work provides. Taking a $7 / hour job and demanding that people pay $15 per hour for it, does not magically transform it into creating $15 per hour of value, no matter how much you want it to. It will, however, transform it into a $0 per hour job, because nobody is going to pay $15 for something that is only worth $7.

Businesses that fail to make these evil, exploitative things called "profits" cease to exist, and provide no jobs for anyone.
If you look back far enough, it wasn’t infiniband but a small separate fibrechannel fabric, and further back again I recall buying specialist dual-ported SCSI drives that were marketed primarily for cluster i.e. quorum-disk purposes. More than one goat was required to make these configurations work.

(I seem to recall that many SAS drives now are dual-ported but designed as such to fulfil a desire for multi-path resiliency within storage arrays; this may have different characteristics to those needed of a quorum device)
As an Indian, I can tell you that we pretty much use the exact same sites as India. We are well versed in English, so for every use case you can think of, we use usual American sites. For Newspapers, we use India specific sites like hindu.com

Many of us understand American politics better than Indian politics :D
Yeah, I know "Gource", another cool project. :D
Cynicism and fear of a dystopian future can also be harnessed to consolidate power and pursue self-interested goals. Hell that's what exactly what Trump did: harness fear of immigrants and distrust of institutions to create a political movement willing to storm the capitol based on lies about fraud.
I believe climate change will see us return to unpolar world.

However it's probably going to be only Russia.

I don't see why optimism and political confrontation can't coexist. In fact, given the dystopian mess that powerful institutions are foisting on us these days, an optimistic alternative could be the most confrontational message. It just has to be clear that we're not going to get there with business as usual.
We learn a lot for dystopian fiction. But when dystopia becomes and end to itself, where any optimistic vision of the future is laughed out of the room as naive, I think we've lost something vital.
The cost to subscriber is out of line with the expense to provider.

Same is true of digital newspapers, magazines, etc., the subscription fees are way out of proportion to what they made from ads per reader in print or made in CPM online.

While this might not matter for one publisher, it prevents users from accepting pay-for-use as an alternative model across the range of media they consume unless through an aggregate subscription like the one acquired by Apple.

(While on the subject, the various ad-free streaming providers litter the offerings with more and more ads to the point you can’t trust your shows will indeed be ad free. It’s hard to say if this is on purpose to undermine and kill that model or not.)

Sadly, this sounds a little bit like Anarchism. We won't stop climate change without stopping the polluters, or massive geoengineering. So the solution must involve large-scale coordination and collaboration - the opposite of Anarchism.
A good place to start for such stories is in the contrast between solarpunk and cyberpunk. They feel like natural polar opposites.

Have the world be partially solarpunk and partially cyberpunk. Or maybe fully cyberpunk with a growing movement towards something much more hopeful.

Forward 20-50 years. Environmental problems are worse than ever. Big chunks of society are still stuck in the old ways. But big chunks have found lifestyles and technology that have minimal negative impact on the environment. But perhaps there are still tradeoffs. Perhaps there's conflict between those that have power thanks to the old ways and those that promote the new ways.

>"just add trees" city, where the necessary trappings of a vertical city (mass transportation, crowds, pollution, etc) are absent.

The lists in TFA strike me as just a random grab-bag of things its author approves of, with no view to coherence or plausibility. Even in describing something as simple as visual appearance, the article's described wishes appear to be unrealized, or even unrealizable. For example, how would one combine the visual aesthetics of Art Nouveau with that of "Hayao Miyazaki" (i.e. the characteristic appearance of the films he directed).

Remote is good for senior people. They're established in their position, have social networks, and likely have space in their residence to work from home.

Remote kinda sucks for junior people. They need mentoring, don't know who to ask for what, and likely have multiple roommates all stomping over one another.

I also continue to point out, not everybody is software only. Anyone who operates in the land of firmware finds that not having an office and a lab really stinks. Anybody who is a manager probably spends more time on webcam than they ever did in meetings.

And, let me argue further, if your job is software only and can be done completely remotely, you can probably be replaced with someone cheaper. Think very carefully about your actual talent level and value to your job.
I don't see anything in the solarpunk manifesto that says we magically eliminate all interpersonal conflict.
A person who makes a comment like that isn’t going to be happy with anything.
It's because the evidence has been sharply contended for centuries, with an immense amount of outright false information and unreplicatable information being published in the 20th century, Fausto-Sterling's book Sexing the Body goes over this in a lot of detail and I would absolutely recommend it if you want to go further.

It digs into how we even section up and divide and measure brains in the first place -- this is suspect on many levels, for example, she cites that one paper that was huge in the 1980s uses 1800s openly-racist phrenology-based diagrams to section up the different areas of the brain. None of this is taking into account neuronal density, or any other such metrics.

Hell, there's outright a feedback loop where (for an example of one such feedback loop) what hormones your body is producing/you are taking, has huge impacts on how the brain functions and signals at a fundamental level -- changing hormones physically alters the brain, and there is some evidence in the literature that trans people (for example) have the physical characteristics of the 'opposite sex's' brain. Fausto-Sterling cites rat behavioural cases from the 90s where a single application of testosterone changed the rat's behaviour enough that the testosterone levels went up permanently, because the behaviour caused the rat's body to start doing that.

None of this is as easy or as clear cut as any article on the subject can describe, or even many graduate student books) describes and it is blisteringly difficult, and that isn't even taking into account the meta-science at work here where it is impossible to figure out nature versus nurture, and how much our own society changes our behaviour and changes our brains.

Related information is, there's a good twitter thread I replicated on imgur, that goes over in-depth about how the female/male scale does not accurately describe modern bio and neurochemistry (i.e. it has to be split up into many, many more discrete categories, more like a bimodal distribution) and actually is wildly inappropriate for certain drug interactions as it can cause incorrect predictions: https://imgur.com/a/qmIiULb
For many, addictions are not dwarfed by rent or other housing costs. I recommend you meet some addicts and learn of what they are going through.

The myth that pot is not addictive is contradicted by the physical withdrawal symptoms experienced and described by many.

These are tools to keep siphoning labor from the working class. The system is working as designed.
> I believe the most plausible explanation is that there is a precise structural and functional integration located in the brain which gives rise to consciousness.

Without sufficiently explicating what that structure may be and how it interfaces with the purported non conscious parts of the body, it is too big of a leap to claim that a locale that is not even the whole brain is essential to consciousness.

Regarding the psychoactive compounds, I am not convinced it gives the evidence you think it does. There are way too many confounds, and I don’t think dampening creates the brain in a vat condition anyway.

There are plenty of counter examples though, if you’re interested check out embodied cognition. There are cool experiments like people’s cognitive skills diminishing when they are prevented from making hand gestures.

I don't think there's not a universal theory of AI for lack of trying - it's just really hard and non obvious.

e.g. physics and chemistry took centuries of empirical fooling around to develop the highly predictive theories we have now.

I think one of the points of this article is that we need to think deeply about what our empirical foolings around are actually telling us.

The issue with scaling the database is that SQL joins (generally) do not scale under CAP.

So, alas, you either go SQL in the early stages and then need to do considerable engineering to down-convert to say, Cassandra or DynamoDB.

Or you accept reduced database language sugar and complexity up-front (no joins, limited index/views, or architect with explicit sharding) with a more scalable database approach.

There's basically no magic sauce for scalable SQL. Frankly most of the people telling you otherwise are selling varying degrees of snake oil.

As people will point out, SQL databases on modern hardware scale pretty freaking large. So you can get a lot of mileage putting off the "true scalability refactor". The good news, by then you should know your queries and data that need full scaling, you aren't guessing ahead of time.

PS: Your data is worth much less than you think.

It may be worth billions in total, but that's only because Google have billions of users. If they don't show you ads, I don't think your personal data is worth more than pennies. And YouTube is expensive.

You don't really "pay with your data". You pay by buying products you see on ads. Your data is mostly used to show you products you are most likely to pay for. But if you remove the ads, then your data is mostly worthless.

To go with your analogy, YouTube is gold, your data is baubles. And sure enough, your data may be worth a lot to you, like a bauble with great sentimental value, but with almost no resale value.

I was expelled from a university for reporting security flaws, the solution we all seek is the simplest one and for administrators it's easiest to hurt the people making noise which commonly results in the noise going away. fight-or-flight response at it's finest.

Edit: reminder that for the "common folk" these "security issues" are not a 5-minute fix, they are fundamentally different realities which require every machine on the network to be re-checked before they can be used again. There is a clear communication failure between the ones who want security and the ones who want "security".

gnome-software never directly calls dnf, it is solely a frontend for packagekit (and flatpak and fwupd).
Early return makes it easy to reason that the rest of the code in the function is unrelated to whatever you're checking for right now. Having multiple exit points in a function is not the end the world.

If you need to print()/log() before return, then just replace them with goto (if your language supports it). After debugging if you have no more use for print()/log() statements you can remove just those statements and keep goto as it is.
> You're happy now.

The problem still persists. The word only makes sense in the popular TV show reference as Cyborg is the actual short name for Cybernetic Organism. It would be like shortening Computer Language as ulang, not very meaningful and probably confusing.

Language has an arbitrary history, but it is molded by evolutionary mechanism. To add random words with little though makes communication more difficult.

For an Enlgish speaker to add Tok-Tik to their vocabulary is cumbersome, to add Tik-Tok is easy. Communication is hard enough to add new words without reason or rhyme.

> Compared to the 100 million euros Denmark spent on a new IT system for the police, a project that never delivered anything?

Governments need "sunken-cost fallacy" triggers that automatically halt projects when they pass thresholds, even when many worry about the effect of the halting. It's like a scene from a movie - "halt my project when I go over 100M EUR, even if I'm begging you not to".

This is an annualized excess inflation rate of about 12% over that period. (No particular meaning intended by this comment, and of course the inflation rates of both the dollar and dinar are not even close to constant over time... just an interesting number.)
I'm not a Luddite, but everything about these "relationships" makes me sad and cringe. Reminds me of a favorite Oscar Wilde quote: "A sentimentalist is simply one who wants to have the luxury of an emotion without paying for it."

That is, people feel like they can experience the emotions of a real friend, but without any of the obligations or real benefits of actual friendship.

This remark invited the comparison and I did reflect upon it.

Be careful what you wish for: a moral comparison of “gargantuan hedge fund profits” to “Twitter clown” comes out initially worse for Renaissance, since hedge funds, especially the very effective ones, are extracting wealth from the inefficiencies of markets; this creates no economic value, it merely reallocates it to entities with pre-existing wealth and knowledge capital, and in particular siphons wealth from less developed economies. This action has a high potential to reinforce global inequity, which degrades opportunity and thereby slows the rate of human progress.

Whatever one may think of the persona, Musk’s companies supply products and services for which many lines can be directly drawn to improved quality of life for everyday consumers.

That is, simply, many (millions to billions) of people value electric cars, nation-scale grid batteries, underground transport systems, and the myriad of services they receive from orbital platforms.

Very, very few individuals experience the benefits of hedge fund returns, directly or otherwise.

The saving grace for Jim Simons is the subsequent philanthropy, which makes his hedge fund, in part, a private tax on inefficient market players that feeds forward into education and research, but without which the fund would be just another Gini multiplier.

If you need a lesson, travel and work overseas is hard mentally. Totally manageable, and the reward is amazing. But look after yourself, just don't underestimate it.

Other lesson, diplomats are nothing special. Not especially smart. Normally just willing to be inquisitive about a country and stay inquisitive. They too get run down.

And you are being played by the state department here, they know it's hysteria, they have seen it before, but there is no reason for them to correct it internally or externally. It fits with cold war lite with Russia.
You should read this part as a summary of the differences between punk and solarpunk, not a treaty on mixing optimism and political struggle.

That's the part I don't see in solarpunk currently. The social structure is glossed over, and the technical side looks very much like technological messianism. The transformation itself is rarely addressed. I honestly enjoy the aesthetic, but I would call it calming rather than tought-provoking, that doesn't really leave solid foundations for political action.
