Is it basically a commune? If so, who washes the dishes? What are the incentives? What is the punishment for skipping dishwasher duty?

Every time I read about communes, I get so excited. I always get inspired by the ideals they are trying to live by.

But then when I hear the details about the day to day logistics and governance, it always ends up sounding like a terrible place to live.

I can't tell. It looks more like an organic farm with a few caretakers living on the farm, and financially supported by the community. I like that.

That dates back to the origins of the WASM spec process, it's always been very combative due to the fact that the Google side of things was reluctantly shooting Native Client in the head while the Mozilla side had basically done all of the initial heavy lifting to prove their model with asm.js. I would have preferred a more mature process, personally, but the tension didn't really interfere with the actual outcome as far as I could tell, it just made it a bit more stressful. Because WASM sits on top of existing JS runtimes each JS vendor also had to make compromises in order for it to be possible to implement it across all browsers (the very strange control flow model is a good example of this - some JS engines couldn't handle unconstrained control flow)

The needs of all the different WASM consumers also creates tension here. A C# programmer trying to ship a webapp has very different needs from a C programmer trying to run WASM on a cloudflare edge node, and you can't really satisfy both of them, so you end up having to tell one of them to go take a walk into the sea.
They have used human feces in North Korea to fertilize their fields with the effect that people got worm parasites:

Also, human feces can contain anti-biotics and other stuff that you shouldn’t be spreading over soil. There is a reason why hospital waste water gets special treatment before disposed of into the sewers.

I don’t think using human feces as fertilizers is a good idea.

Right - you've nailed it, a legal document like a data processing agreement may be enforceable in court but system implementation can vary widely, often without malice but it still fails.

So the question to answer is how can we ensure an interoperable contract for data between systems/services - that requires an ontology for privacy that makes enforcement easy(er).

It is possible to make privacy definitions a declarative and low effort part of development for engineers - then code becomes the enforcing layer instead of legal agreements.
Yep, used these myself multiple times.

Exactly Nextgrid - this is on developers to solve. Data flowing through a system isn't policed by the legal agreement, it's developers who understand where/how data is being used - we're the ones who can fix this.

I've used manjaro, ubuntu ,mint and even NixOS. I've hit numerous compatibility and usability issues that just doesn't happen in Windows or OSX.

Also your post touches on the most important dimension. Gaming and graphics and cad. Have you tried doing this stuff on linux? The experience is clearly inferior.

I think there's a psychological blocker here. You're aware Linux is shit for games and photoshop, but you still say linux is better because everything works! That's contradictory. Photoshop and games CLEARLY don't work according to your post which is the exact things I am talking about.

Either way I've still had the Linux OS crash on me within the last month. Something that just doesn't happen ever with windows or OSX anymore.

Fair point TheChaplain - I'd actually argue it's across industry. It's a combination of a lack of knowledge about what privacy really is (a lot of confusion over that vs. security for example) and then how to ensure privacy for a user.

You're right that it's at every layer in any complex organization but I'm bullish on the belief that developers hold a lot of the solutions here and can make it happen even in a complex organizational hierarchy with competing interests.
We first need better tools to make it easier to implement.

Before money people traded favors. You help me butcher my cow, I help you rebuild your house (which was more work then the cow), so maybe later on your brother helps fix my plow knowing he'll eventually get something in return, and now I am trading favors with you and your brother, etc. This bonded people. It would have been insulting to say "here are two chickens for your lamb, we are now even, I owe you nothing evermore!"

Money originated as a way for kings to pay troops, who operated outside these village economies.

Money has made it possible for us to build impersonal systems at gigantic scale. It seems to have paved the way for more stuff, but it does come with some downsides.

The Google app uses Chrome Custom Tabs, which allows the calling application to filter the browser implementation by application ID. The documentation encourages this by showing how to limit to the various Chrome app IDs (stable, beta, canary, and dev). Naturally, the user-respecting action is to try a CCT request with the default browser and fall back to known app IDs, but Google themselves don't do this and don't show how to do it in their documentation.

You'd think, but look at the plethora of sports programming of people sitting in a studio talking about sports. Just talking. Very little clips of sports. Just talking.

No one is expected to take on 6 figure debts. There are plenty of public universities that can rival Ivies and many elite, private universities have extensive aid programs. You can complete an engineering degree in an in-state school for less than $30k debt after aid.

I have doubts about that. The feeling of sickness is basically our body telling us not to move. Sick animals also don't move much.

And a common reaction to being sick is shivering, so maybe the body is already compensating for the lack of movement.

The answer to that varies from person to person, and it has varied in aggregate over time, but the effect on those who remain has been the same. It doesn't matter whether those who left were/are fleeing actual danger, race-based perception of danger, or pure economic rationality. If you tip a marble on to a sloped ramp, it will continue rolling down even without further impulse. The fact that at one time race and racism were significant drivers of this effect is sufficient to justify their consideration in any present discussion of causes and/or remedies.
ahh didnt know that.
My guess is that they're not included due to internal politics. They were developed by Russinovich before he joined of Microsoft. I believe he mentioned in an interview that he used some undocumented windows APIs and that some Microsoft engineers were not happy about that.

If work activities is about titles, I hope yours is multiple lines long.

We are talking about what is the most efficient. One of the point of Agile was to attempt to lower the division of tasks (and I'm saying that even if I don't like the way it was attempted nor the overall effect 20 years later) because having a broader vision of things is more efficient than trying to communicate (to what I would add: IF the project scale is reasonable enough to do that...); thus: a little bit of PM tasks, a little bit of working with customer, etc -- at least more involvement than if crappy requirements were produced after crappy contracts were signed, and neither of them could be revised.

So if that means more people do "management", in a context where this is beneficial, then... good? What is exactly the problem? You think they are paid too little? Maybe, but then it switches from a work methodology to a salary negotiation problem.
Then they are not doing their job. I have worked with very good product owners and priority is always clear for the team . Also they are able to negotiate time and scope. Sometimes it makes sense to deliver less features to meet deadlines, others it is better to deliver later the full product.

Everything is important and for tomorrow just shows that management/product are not doing their job. I have seen that in one owner companies, it maybe the top that does not allow for the company too work properly, it does not needs to be necessarily any product owner fault.

Really good point csande17 but I'd be nervous to tar all ML folk with the same brush :) I know some incredible data science and ML folks who care deeply about privacy - check out http://openmined.org to see hope in the ML community. There are large numbers of talented engineers who are dedicated to building better data processing systems.

If I can offer my two cents: if we do better at annotating data at source of ingress (whether that's data provided by users, inferred about them, etc.) such that we can better describe the data we hold, why we have that dataset and for what limited uses, we can then enforce those conditions on models - right now that additional context just doesn't exist so privacy type enforcement on ML becomes arbitrary and subjective based on a teams needs.
We can do so much better if just describe what, where, how and why we've collected data in our systems - then enforcement is layered on top of that.
This is currently not possible because the filtering is done by the application calling CCT. The default CCT library implementation explicitly filters on the list of known Chrome app IDs and the app has to explicitly work around this filtering by trying the default browser first before falling back to the default CCT call.

> Haven't you ever done your own dishes? I use something so that it gets dirty, so I'll wash it off.

Dishes is just one example. You may wash your own dishes, but did you buy those dishes from someone who was selling them as their job?

Do you grow all of your own food? Do you also sew your own clothes? Build your own shelter? Engineer your own transportation and manufacture your own iPhone?

The truth is that a society in which everyone is self-sufficient can’t look anything like modern society. Most of the advancements we take for granted are made possible by monetary exchange and people working in specialized roles in focused industries.

And for what it’s worth, back in college I had several roommates who clearly demonstrated that not everyone is willing to do their own dishes.
I have not understood what you mean by "pre-gentrified".

According to the article, this was built on land previously owned by the Duchy of Cornwall. I assume that the land was not inhabited, so there were no former locals who were displaced by the new ones.

Moreover, the article says that one third of the houses have been reserved for those who cannot afford to buy such a house, so a majority of the current locals might belong to the "gentry", but a significant part should have a lower income.

> Hydroxychloroquine, too, showed promise in the early studies. When it became clear it wasn't efficacious, the media and politicians had already grabbed hold informing millions of americans that it was a cure when it in fact was not.

I think you are mischaracterizing what the research has actually shown.

Similar to HIV/AIDS, the most current clinical research on the field shows to treat it with a cocktail of drugs

E.g.

Antivirals

Immunomodulators

anti-senescent cells

Anticoagulants

ACE2 inhibitors

And a long list of other ones that singularly have some efficacy, but as a large cocktail together dramatically improve patient outcomes.

Fair @isbvhodnvemrwvn - I'd say it's a combination of laziness, lack of knowledge perhaps or both?

I'm conscious that it's easy to say "do _____ better" and insert a soap box like privacy or security; but if you don't provide developers with tools, whether that's libraries, IDE plugins, linters or code analysis tools to make that task easier, it's almost impossible - can't ask developers to be privacy experts, but we can help them to make that expertise readily available.

Like the example you took - provisioning cloud infrastructure is a heck of a lot easier now that it was a decade ago because of a bunch of orchestration and infra as code tools that ease the burden/knowledge gap for developers. We've got to have the same for anything we care about - in my case, that's privacy.
Assume that I give you on top of salary Amazon coupons for 1000$. No tax shenanigans. I (employer

I've never lied on my résumé, and I don't think this is something advisable. However, it may be wise to embellish reality.
The societal benefits of maintaining fairness in opportunities to move up the economic ladder (speaking about India here) far outweighs other criteria. While one could argue that access to coaching institutes creates an unfair barrier on its own, in practice coaching institutes often teach good students of lesser means for free (because they can advertise their results and good results attract more students to coaching institutes).

These top colleges (in India) are literally a pathway to economic betterment of extended families as they're very affordable (lower income families essentially pay no fees), reasonably good and pretty much guarantee an upper middle class exit. I think introducing any shade of unfairness into this process even if it reflects underlying unfairness of life will damage soceital cohesion.

Source: studied in these colleges and know personally several classmates of very modest means whose extended families benefited from their success. Also personally know a few people in China who have equivalent stories.
That’s a fair point. I’m not taking offense but I did feel cringy reading it. I did think it was well written.

And people who want to eat will farm their own food? And people who want medicine will craft their own medications?

Self-sufficiency and moneyless societies are pure fantasy, unless they include giving up all modern amenities. I don’t think these people really want to return to the days of hunter gatherer lifestyles or even the days of homesteading.

It’s an extreme amount of work to be self-sufficient.
> There are exceptions, of course. It seems that some of the smaller butterflies may exhibit wing positions fairly close to that of a dead, pinned specimen

I've actually seen some really large butterflies that look pretty much like the "pinned wings dead butterfly" when it flies. I tried to film it, but couldn't get a good shot.

I found this article interesting when it came out, but after seeing living butterflies that look exactly like it says they shouldn't, I'm not going to spread the idea that all these butterfly images are wrong.

I have seen thousands of butterflies in my life, and yes, most of them have their forewings much further back. Not that I ever paid too close attention, even after reading this article for the first time. It was just a striking image when I saw these huge butterflies on holiday in December 2019, and they looked like a stereotypical animated movie aesthetic butterflies with the "wrong" wings, and I thought it was amusing.
When my father was stationed (in the US Army) in South Korea in the early 1960s, human "nightsoil" was the primary fertilizer there as well. It's an obvious source of cheap fertilizer, even if it has some health drawbacks. Obviously the economic success of the South has allowed it to not do that anymore.

That's kind of crazy because nearly the only information I (as an engineer) want from a PM is priorities.

There was a project I was on that lacked a PM; I was assigned 3 different tasks by different stakeholders. There was zero way these tasks could all get done by the deadline. I told them that and asked for the engineering manager to sort out priorities, but he lacked the clout to do so. I sent out an e-mail with the items listed in a random order and said "unless someone tells me differently, this is the order I'm doing them in." I got 2/3 done by the deadline, and when I was asked why the 3rd one wasn't done, showed the e-mail chain (which of course nobody replied to). Less than a week later we got a PM and the project was basically sunshine and rainbows after that.
