In contrast, for all other standards ISO works similarly to Elsevier.

People who write the ISO standards are required to transfer copyright to ISO, and lose control over their work. ISO says the paywall is to pay for development, but the authors don't get a cut of the sales.

I don't know how these things usually get done, but the JPEG XL standard has been written for free by volunteers, and ISO paywalled it. The authors would like to change that: https://twitter.com/jonsneyers/status/1415696597585993732
You could have fakeroot, for instance: https://wiki.debian.org/FakeRoot

Sandbox doesn't imply not having a file system available (for example, for use in imports), I believe this is more of a historic limitation than a strictly technical one (just because we need the sandboxing concept).

I know. Fakeroot is not strictly sandboxing, but I think it illustrates the point.
A few years ago I tried out VC++ version 4 (??) for a bit of a laugh. And I felt no wonder as to why C++ got such a bad wrap. The MFC classes seemed to have suffered from gold-plating the specifications, and there was all sorts of casting stuff to cajole C++ into interfacing with the C windowing system.

Since then, C++ has gotten massively better. We now have strings and vectors as part of the standard library, so there's no need to use someone's quirky implementation.

As I said in a previous post, C++ gets you most of the way to Python, so there's really no point in not using it.

Still, it's taken us until C++17 to get sum-types (via variants), and it is amazing to think that it took so long to get such a basic idea included. The handling of variants could do with a bit of simplification, mind. And I'd do wish they could implement the equivalent of "typeclasses", enabling recursive data structures.

I'm a big C++ fan, in case that wasn't clear.
> But I can respect the strength, determination and shouldering of responsibilities.

Ah, yes, creating the problems for yourself and then heroically prevailing over them, how very commendable. Many people seem to expect that they will be somehow rewarded, one way or another, for their self-sacrifice, but of course they don't: "sacrifice" is just something you throw away; if you were supposed to get something in return, it'd have been called "price".
Far more people have an apoplectic fit at anything that can even vaguely be described as “liberal”..
For several years now, in the EU at least, all new cars need to have automatic emergency breaks. It's basically impossible to run into something, run someone over, etc. This kind of system reduces stress and gives at least me a certain peace of mind. In this regard Tesla self driving is a step backwards.
You should have a camera and report those drivers to police.
Millions of dollars in marketing? 1.0 was released in 2015. Yeah, it will take a couple years more before a 6 year old language will replace a 40 year old language, but we'll get there no doubt.

But that's not the right comparison. The use of the C language itself is a rounding error compared to all the languages that replaced it. Java, C#, C++, Python, Javascript, Go, they all replaced most use cases of C in modern programming. Rust is just attacking the last vestiges of C's usefulness.
Can we please not use the term "sex worker" for people who do not face the vast majority of risks (health/physical, financial, legal-of-the-criminal-sort, and emotional) that someone who actually engages in sex with other people for money does?

You (generally speaking) cannot get infected with STIs, pregnant, assaulted, raped, drugged, stabbed, murdered, convicted, jailed - for being a camgirl. You (generally speaking) can use the banking system, report that income, pay taxes on it, etc. You don't need to seek "camgirl friendly" medical professionals. Etc, etc.

I knew someone who called herself a sex worker because she posed for some fetish clothing store photos and did some fetish site photo shoots (it was a fetish involving certain items. No interaction, much less sexual, with other models/actresses. Nothing went into anyone's orifices.)

You might technically kinda almost be right when you squint really hard and aren't wearing your glasses in a dark room and you've had a few shots. But you're assigning/claiming a label to grant/be viewed as oppressed/lower-privileged while not actually suffering from oppression or lower privilege.

Camgirls - and models - calling themselves "sex workers" is like calling yourself black when you had a great-grandfather who was black.

No, he's stating what the author seems to have missed: mindfulness is not Buddhism; mindfulness is based on some Buddhist teachings. The author talks about meditation, mindfulness and Buddhism as if it were all the same thing, but that's not true. It just shows that whatever they're selling as "mindfulness" lacks what basic zen teaches. The author is blissfully ignorant of Buddhism and it's not his fault: that's how he learned it. What's his fault is that he's spreading what he learned as if it were truth, which simply isn't.

There's no worldwide buddhist conspiracy to shun the "bad" parts of meditation, the post author learned from teachers with no qualification.

From my understanding, the attack can happen through multiple ways. Companies like NSO purchase vulnerabilities for this step and probably have a set of them on their disposal, ready to deploy ones as they get discovered.

Within the tiny set of scenarios where Rust is applicable as of now, isn't it completely dominating?

It's dominating in hype and excitement for toy and pet projects. This is just the first few steps. Too few people have dabbled enough yet.

The next step is enough stability/maturity that more open source and maybe fang infrastructure can use it. And when the reasoning behind this becomes widely digested, most "green field" projects will choose Rust.

But that may be ten years away?

It’d be interesting to learn how the NSO group's marketing worked.
Did NSO go knocking on the doors of all these despotic regimes? Or was it the other way around?

And what was the hand of the Israeli government in the deal-making? For instance, reports state that the spying in India began right after the India’s PM met with Netanyahu in 2017 [1] So was NSO actively backed by the government?

Sigh. So many questions.

That's a good point, unfortunately. Though it feels like something which especially applies in Common Law.

Going into hoops about some kind of alternative theory, which is tried to make sound plausible (but often seems like a bad joke, insulting to the victim as well) should be less honored than admitting to a crime, showing remorse, and demonstrating you learned from making your mistake.

Showing you admit your deed, showing remorse, and demonstrating you learned from your mistake is important for the victim (and/or their peers), as well as for society in general. We as society should reward such behavior, but indeed more often than not our legal systems fail here. However, at some point the evidence is so overwhelming that the theater as described is only harmful. How can we lower the incentive for such theater?
Nitpicking an analogy goes against the point - it simplifies some ideas at the cost of modifying the details.

This goes back to what I said far upthread: "Given that I don't believe that it is fundamentally possible for any private entity to infringe on my right to free speech", I'm not pro censorship or trying to sneak around the first amendment or whatnot.

My point was that given your view of free speech and the first amendment, a view that I fundamentally don't accept, I have no reason to trust that you're being forthright. And I think we have proof now that you were't. You admit that, in your view, we have gotten around the first amendment.

But you said that that was okay, that if it was so important, we could gather support and bypass the first amendment.

> If you really believe that mis-information is so bad, that it needs to be stopped, by these types of methods, then the onus should be on you to gather enough support, to get around the protections of the 1st amendment.

And my point is that we have that support right now. You're the one advocating for a change. So which is it, are we allowed to get around the first amendment, or not? When is it okay?

> The whole point is that you don't care about any of this, and just want to engage in authoritarianism, in any way that you can get away with. Thats the problem.

I think it's authoritarian to force groups to associate with people they don't want to. You're trying to use the first amendment, something that's supposed to protect our rights, as a cudgel to allow the government to strong-arm businesses into acting the way you'd prefer. That's authoritarian!

You're advocating for laws to enforce anti-authoritarianism. You want the authority to force people to (in your view) be less-authoritarian. Hopefully you at least recognize the irony.

> But the alternative solution, that provides a lot of benefits, to most people, is to simply incentivize facebook to implement these policies.

But you're not talking about "incentivizing" you're talking about forcing via law and government.

> that is almost as bad as if the government did it.

And what's even worse is the government having control over how and what they can moderate. Like it absolutely baffles me that you think further centralization would make this better.
I don’t say that waking up early ‘’creates energy out of nothing’’, I’m saying you wake up with a certain amount of energy to spend and it depletes over the day, so it makes sense that the earlier hours (or at least not the LATE hours) would be better for you.

If you are tired from the moment you wake up to the moment you go to bed again, you’re suffering from depression or an incredibly bad diet, go see a nutritionist.

And I said the opposite of ‘’[we] spend too much energy on things we’d rather not spend’’ - if you’re already spending time on things you love to do like being with your family and you just want to do more in the limited time you have, either carve the time out of one of those things you love to focus on something else, or learn to accept there’s only so many hours in the day.
What a load of bullcrap to be polite. I hear this from various eastern far right wing supporters quite a bit, and it isn't based on any facts, just some wishful thinking.

Hungary is a net receiver of direct money subsidies. The fact is most of it is stolen by government-aligned forces within economy, this is a well-oiled machine in place for a long time. Western companies come to Hungary because its cheap force, despite being generally lower quality than west, many of which would be rather unemployed otherwise and probably migrate west or live miserable life on social support.

The simple problem is, and that's not just Hungary but all countries in the east, there aren't enough big domestic companies that would be successful and employ people. Most failed long time ago, most really skilled people went west since life is simply so much better elsewhere. Why bother with corrupt semi-dictators, when you can thrive in fair and just society not so far.

If you have kids/plan them, its a no brainer - all parents want the best for their kids, and giving them such a bad starting position in life in a fucked up corrupt primitive environment like eastern Europe is really just selfish acting at best. I know what I am talking about, I am coming from one of those places. Its not about how many good things are still there, but the amount of bad, and not just some top politics. Society is rotten on many, if not all levels. And there is no hope for change, not for the better for sure.

Eastern Europe, like many other poor places in the world, is depleted of human capital because its simply such a crappy place to live. Its not a conspiracy, rather result of people wanting better lives for themselves and their children.

I think I would rather enjoy reading a novel where humanity discovers that it is living inside a simulation and is trying to find a way to "escape" (not really plausible) or at least influence the "outside" world in such a way to prevent the catastrophe of "getting switched off". Is anyone aware of a novel similar to that?
True, I simply use this argument to show that there is nothing to worry about, not to prove anything about our reality.

The simulation hypothesis is often connected with fears like: Are our gods benevolent, what if they abandon us or pull the plug? And my answer is: Why care, they can't "do" anything to us. If they change their simulation they simply observe something else, not us anymore, and we stay where & who we are.
That's overly idealized and wrong view. Meditation together with mental treatment often works really well but they are not direct substitutes. There are meditation therapies that mix the two.

What meditation does to the mind is not completely separated from the mental health, but it's not on the same line either. Understanding the nature of your mind heals only minor neuroses, and sometimes with depression.

You can be mentally ill and still have "prajna wisdom" or being "realized" in a very fundamental way. "Prajna wisdom" does not translate directly into normal wisdom or mental health (can help in some cases). The history is full of mentally ill meditation masters, "funny monks" and "crazy wisdom" that is crazy in real way and just not metaphor.

In religious settings people have tendency to attach attach every good thing to meditation in linear way. Morality, mental and physical health, everything. In reality you get "something completely different" (in the Monty Python way). It can help you in other things but it never solves other problems in your life.

Orban exists because of EU overreach. If the Brussels set weren’t intent on turning the EU into a federal United States of Europe, none of these “rogue states” (a completely absurd label for Hungary, btw) would have any political interest in Fidesz/PiS/etc.
> Afaik Orban's party has won the last rounds of elections pretty conclusively, with no fraud allegations involved (unlike what currently happens in the US, I'm talking about election fraud allegations).

You are partially right: they won the elections conclusively. However, their supermajority was due to fraud. I am not even sure whether that can even be called "allegations" at this point, it's more like "everyone knew on election night already but what could you do".

I think the best description of the events in English can be found at https://www.unhackdemocracy.eu/en/investigation Summary:

> Unhack Democracy’s year-long investigation into the April 2018 Hungarian Parliamentary elections indicates Prime Minister Viktor Orbán secured his one-seat supermajority thanks to a combination of outright fraud, gerrymandering and by engineering the electoral system.

> Our findings reveal extensive polling station irregularities including forged voter logs and intimidation of ballot counters; a suspicious ticket splitting rate twice as likely in areas where there we no opposition delegates; electoral clientelism involving large-scale vote buying and intimidation of voters, the unlawful transportation of voters from Ukraine, Romania and Serbia; missing absentee ballots; and a mysterious failure of national election software.

And the full version goes into "fake" parties and more.

Why not both? I don't think anybody disagrees with the idea that telemetry is useful, and that there are genuine reasons to implement it in VScode (as well as other MS products). Heck, there are open source telemetry products and even Linux users happily install telemetry packages such as popularity-contest.

The only thing that bothers people is how this tech has been implemented by Microsoft in their product, with all possible dark patterns, starting with opt-out to changing telemetry controls subsequent versions to not being able to opt out at all, depending on the product.
He has similar platform to what you will find in many other european countries. Le Pen in France. AFD in Germany. Dansk folkeparti in Denmark.

How does EU "fight" that? By playing for the long run: freedom of movement, cultural exchange, freedom of business. In the long term this leads to a more liberal society, regardless of counter movements.
I somehow doubt it. EU's reaction to migrant crisis was everything but liberal.

That just seems wildly unlikely to me. We're talking about a practice whose goal is to manipulate the brain, an organ that has been called the most complex object in the universe, something that centuries of science have only begin to understand, and that comes with vast and poorly understood diversity across people. There are first hand and scientific accounts of this happening, albeit rarely, to experienced and knowledgeable people. To claim that a certain group of monks has figured out a foolproof and risk-free formula for exploring altered states of consciousness seems implausible.
No, not at all. Nuclear policy when I was serving was to use all available means to prevent nukes from being taken. In other words, our presence on the ground wouldn't prevent an air strike. F-16s were twelve minutes away, so it wasn't beyond the pale. And yes, that meant if we somehow became hostages, we might be expendable. I'm sure USAF would have mounted a rescue if practical, but priority was no nukes lost. None of this is out of my backside, rather out of the mouths of officers during training and serving.
While this is a very simplistical and easy to rebuff argument as other replies did, a non-national "country" could be theoretically doable - save for the landmass, which is all occupied by existing ~national countries. Culture has not that much to do with national borders anymore. Just think about a "nation" of Elon Musk Followers, a nation of LGBTQ+ supporters, Real Madrid fans, or admirers of Oprah Winfrey.

Whenever we will be able to colonize landmasses like the Moon or Mars, it would be possible that these kind of artificial communities could flurish. Colonisation will most likely be done by market-driven corporations, which could allege with these communities based on donations/taxation.
No, they can't make a new union, that's just stupid. It took decades to build the EU as it is now. Building something new isn't feasible.

It's OK I just feel like it's kind of a meme that "intel didn't try to do 4+ core before ryzens, they just sat back and milked it" when they literally pushed the price of their hexacores down by half in 4 years.

yeah there were still ridiculously priced processors (funny how the "$1000 processor" memes got forgotten when 3950X came around) but there were also serious dealz on higher core count processors, if you made the effort to buy them. The consumer platform didn't hop right up to hexacore+, but they were there on the HEDT platform if you wanted them.

but yea 6000 and 7000 series they were milking it.

Agreed. Instead of looking for institutional solutions, we can demonstrate the need for critical thinking and skepticism as individuals. This is a can-do solution we can start with now. The above poster's plea of, "there ought to be a law" removes the agency of the individual.

There are also serious problems with appointing fact checkers as impartial arbiters of objective truths. It is an untenable scheme. A naked appeal to authoritarianism.
