> (shouldn't that be a government choice?).

Why? Just why? Why the hell can't I be free to move freely to a place where other people accept me? Why is it that a parasitic entity (the state) has to say whether they allow me in or not? Why should I be barred to enter a continental region of the world without convincing a bunch of bureaucrats that I'll be there just for a few days?

> Privatisation is also taking over police departments, prisons, bus services, etc. I don't trust that the shareholders' best interests are the same as the needs of the people.

And you trust state actors responsible for most murders in history (example: compare how many hundreds of millions were murdered in wars vs. by private actors in the last century), how come?

> War helps private companies, at the expense of governments & property. I'm not hopeful for peace in the next 50 years.

No. It's not at the expense of governments. This is pure brainwash propaganda. Governments, or states, are responsible for most of the destructive behavior we see in human history. They're not victims but perpetrators of wars. It's silly to think otherwise.
You're not hopeful "for peace in the next 50 years" because of your prejudices and misconceptions.

Society has never been so peaceful as today. Thanks to the private sector, communication is more and more accessible to everyone. Some day (not sure if 50 years or 500), poverty will be over, except due to acts of state-sponsored terrorism, and people will be able to denounce it whenever it happens and on a global scale. This is starting to happen today already.

Most private entities (companies or the third sector) do good for the people and benefit nothing from the misery caused by state actors and their wars. Just a thin fraction, such as defense contractors, does.
OpenBSD uses MESA. I finished Silent Hill:Shattered Memories just fine under a Celeron+Intel Mobile 4 Series laptop.

You are right that an external queuing system might be useful in some cases. I was thinking of simple background jobs like sending emails while processing an HTTP request. Once persistence is available, why would this be any less resilient than an external queue? IIRC, this is the standard way of dealing with background jobs in Erlang/Elixir projects . Ractor should bring similar capability to Ruby ecosystem.
This article, for me, isn't readable nor worth reading. Hard to get through that meaningless, irrational conjecture of "hacking is the opposite of marketing" to find the point of or value in the article.

To say "Marketing is the opposite of Hacking" makes about as much sense as saying "the Orion constellation is the opposite of the planet Neptune". -- Not everything has an opposite or a reciprocal.

Also, just to be extra controversial, I am going to say:

Marketing is Hacking.
The problem is, you cannot (legally) force addicts to stop (in the US). They either accept the help, or they don't. Some do, many more do not.
A lot of this optimism is just not having Trump drive the news cycle everyday.
Meanwhile, if I suggested doing housing for all, healthcare for all, etc on an island with only 2000 people, you’d tell me that was too few people and you can’t do it that way. So it seems that the only case where it will work is for a country with the exact number of people in the exact latitude as the countries that are already doing it, which are coincidentally the only places where it has been tried?

Or maybe, you’re just coming up with excuses.
Clubdeck dev here - pretty cool idea :)
Is it possible reddit is mostly bots at this point?
Housing first works for easier homeless cases that don’t involve substance abuse or severe mental illness (or both). It makes sense to give people housing if they can handle maintaining it on their own. For the harder homeless cases, at best they will sublet for drug money and at worst, the neighbors aren’t going to be very happy. You can’t just handout housing without some treatment or supervision.
Benefits only work if there's a large population where the risks can be averaged out. If you let people pick and choose whether they want insurance, people with known health problems will overwhelmingly want insurance, and the price will be driven up. Really this shouldn't be dealt with at the employer level but by the government - there's a net public good to everyone having guaranteed healthcare, because preventative care avoids larger emergency expenses and allows for more efficient allocation of resources. But instead you get this hyper-individualism where people want to opt into the social contract piecemeal at the time it benefits them, and opt out when it doesn't.
because those problems involve messy parts of the human experience. math/physics, basic science can be pretty divorced from human sociology/psychology/etc.

you don't need to think of the 2nd/3rd/4th order effects on society if you prove some theorem in number theory.
So's homelessness.

> and (I'm not sure why) 24/7 security staff

You can lock your stuff in a house or car and walk away. You can't lock your stuff in a tent and walk away. This is the real reason for homeless people "keeping their life in a shopping trolley": they need to move their possessions around with them because there's nowhere secure to keep them.

Security staff, preventing randoms from stealing these people's possessions out of their tents (or especially, discouraging them from stealing from each-other) makes a tent into something much closer to a home.

-----

An alternate approach I've seen applied to my local area (downtown east-side Vancouver) is to offer something half-way between "safety deposit boxes" and "storage units" as a free/cheap service — where each homeless person gets their own assigned 53-litre storage tote, with mediated check-out to ensure nobody has access to your tote but you.

This doesn't solve exactly the same set of problems — you can't usefully store your food and cooking implements in a place that's only open 9-5 — but it at least allows you to trust that your sentimental objects, small collectibles, etc. are being kept safe.

Maybe you're personally blessed with a super-strong immune system but what you're describing is not the usual common cold. A common cold takes around 9 days, and most people have to spend and are recommended to spend 3 of those in bed. Most common colds can develop into deadly pneumonia if you take them too lightly. A colleague of my girlfriend nearly died of one in 2018 because he ignored it and went out partying...

It depends how groups are defined.
Agriculture is a precondition for a society divided into classes (for social, not practical reasons). Groups from the beginning of human behavioral modernity to the rise of agricultural slave empires in Sumeria etc. 10,000 years back worked this way.

So from the drawing of cave paintings in El Castillo onward through the next 30,000 years, all humans lived like this. You could say it is human nature. Then class-divided society spread - 2000 years ago the modern Stockholm area was a classed society, whereas 200km north were hunter-gather bands. By modern day, hunter-gatherer areas have dwindled to remote areas.

The urge to have large numbers of people all under one grouping seems to be the impetus of a ruling class or ruler, from Alexander the Great to modern times. There are signs of hunter-gatherer bands in relations of mutual aid with other bands, for marriage and other things. One of the earliest pieces of literature, instructions of shuruppak, instructs rulers to get new slaves from far away lands.

(To reiterate a point from before - there is no evidence of class societies before 10,000 years ago. It is possible some tried to be a non-working ruling class, but the methods of production of migratory hunter gather bands made this difficult, and over a span of time impossible. Whereas with the rise of agriculture 10000 years ago, we have a mass of evidence of class societies.)
When was the last time somebody stepped on the moon? If that's success criteria, we just need to stick all the homeless in a hotel for a night, declare the problem solved, then kick them out in the morning.

> creating unions is an attempt at monopolizing labor to extort the employer. When this tactic is applied to any other factor of production it is called a “cartel” and engaged in “market manipulation.”

Wow, I’m not even gonna comment on this first paragraph. I only have one question: do you live in the US?

> How surprising that employers who pay above-market wages do not wish to be extorted further.

Employers in our current system always pay their employees less than what they produce for them, it’s called profit.

Are you really claiming that tech workers extort Silicon Valley companies because they get paid a lot of money? Wow I didn’t expect that argument.
Ehh maybe true like four years ago. I've had a 4K 120Hz 10bit 4:4:4 panel since 2014 for under $1K, and TVs that do 4K 120Hz are cheap today (like 55" for $350).

My display also does 1080_240 and 720_540, which is just silly.
A frequent, local subway can be as fast as a "big" train plus a connection. From Copenhagen Airport to the centre, by ordinary metro, is 17 minutes. I'll take a subway connection over a bus any day.

Anyway, this comment suggests the reason it's a problem in the USA is regulation. (I can't speculate on why this happened, I don't see which political group is supposed to benefit.)

Money is but a reflection of what we value.

Money is not evil, but the abstraction of “value” in modern life does cause the problems he blames money for.

Perhaps the jungle/forest tribes way of life is the best and simple way we can be happy. Yet tent communes like Johnston’s seem to be setup in the middle of a town square or within close proximity of a city, and not in nature somewhere actually sustaining themselves.

In the end if we blew it all up we would arrive back to same evolution of living we find ourselves in today.
In a slow tight turn, I suspect most people do a hand over hand turn on the sterling wheel. Not having a complete circle will mean people have to relearn years of muscle memory when a turn of the sterling wheel of more than 45° is required.

I’m curious how much the extra year has helped some athletes who wouldn’t have won or might not have won until 2024. Or given a few the extra time to show they can compete.

Most definitely. You see this effect within Amazon fulfilment centers too. More ethnic diversity is correlated with less willingness to unionize on an inter-center basis.

What does curation mean to you, specifically?

(transitive) To apply selectivity and taste to, as a collection of fashion items or web pages.

If there is no selection, no choice or decision of what to show, then in what sense is there any curation? Selection is the essence of curation.

> Marketing dictates a style, context, and purpose for even the most general-purpose products.

Yes, poor marketing does this. That is, focuses on features. On the other hand, most people are more intereted in benefits. We are selfish. We are constantly asking, "What's in it for me?"

Features are typically product or market cenric. Benefits (e.g., save time) less so.

All that said, I don't really understand the benefit of comparing hacking to marketing. And I like to dabble in both.
>What is clubhouse doing that makes it easier to access or produce high word count content in audio form? How is clubhouse helping creators

I'm not sure there's an exact parallel of "creator" in the Clubhouse paradigm. I'm not a Clubhouse user so my info is 2nd-hand based on how others describe it but this is my understanding of its original differentiation from podcast platforms and Youtube.

Consider the scenario of:

- Interesting Person A is not a podcast host or content producer. Person A also does not write text articles and opinion pieces in magazines or newspapers.

- Interesting Person B is also not a podcast producer.

- Person A and Person B can talk to each other in a public performance setting on an adhoc basis with audience interaction. Yes, Youtube livestream can also have multiple talking heads but that's video. With Clubhouse being audio, it lowers the barrier for participants who are ok with speaking but don't want to be seen.

- this means "interesting" people who are not podcasters like CEO Tesla Elon Musk can talk to CEO Robinhood Vladimir Tenev in a public forum which attracts an audience. Neither are of them are the "host" or the "guest" in a traditional sense. Neither have to set up a podcast or "upload" their conversation.

That was the original hype with it. The exclusive "invite-only" of famous people created buzz. Maybe the COVID lockdown and bored consumers looking for new entertainment helped boost its initial audience count. However, that doesn't mean the idea of scaling that up by "letting everybody in" ... a.k.a. "The Eternal September" makes Clubhouse more valuable. It seems to have the opposite effect.
There are civil ways to discourage such behavior short of predation.
"After Shapira and Plichta were caught by the remainder of the peloton the rest of the riders seemed to believe that they were racing amongst themselves for Gold, unaware that Kiesenhofer was still in front."

Not saying she shouldn't had won, but when nobody is pursuing you, it is much easier to win.

We have seen in the men race that even when people know there is one person in front, 80% of the riders prefer not to force to prevent the strongest guy of the group to win the sprint. (Who won the sprint anyway)
Lynx is great. I still occasionally use it to test sites for accessibility and SEO.
Feels boastful and insensitive in the current climate —- I’m guilty of worrying that it can make people in my circle who aren’t doing so well feel worse.

Maybe that’s patronizing and not giving other individuals enough credit. Thinking on my own past depression, I don’t recall that I felt worse because of comparison to others —- I think the bigger problem was more to do with my own lack of direction, displeasure with myself, and feeling trapped.

Seeing others take alternative paths and reach happiness might’ve actually been helpful for overcoming some of my self-constructed obstacles.

It’s become more about not wanting to feed the ad monster and give my circle more reasons to be in those apps these days. Apple photo stream is where we share instead.
Duh, it is like saying “Kayak and Expedia are not that different with regard of quality of flights”.

Yes, the interface is different, and there may be some things missing, but the actual things that get work done (flights | linux kernel/open source apps) are designed everywhere and in most cases would be the same between all (flight websites | Linux distros).

The paper says "all three of OpenSSL, LibreSSL, and BoringSSL have been gradually increasing in size since the 2014 fork, to the point where LibreSSL is now roughly the same size as OpenSSL was at Heartbleed's discovery." The authors then count CVEs. This won't yield a valid conclusion about vulnerabilities in the new code that's been added to Libre/Boring in 2014-2021. The OpenSSL project requires use of CVE numbers, but Libre/Boring don't. Nothing at https://www.libressl.org or https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl talks about obtaining or listing CVEs (contrast to https://www.openssl.org/news/vulnerabilities.html https://www.openssl.org/policies/secpolicy.html etc,). OpenSSL Management Committee has a person on CVE's board https://www.openssl.org/community/omc.html https://cve.mitre.org/community/board (same Mark Cox). The authors say "the most widely used cryptographic library, OpenSSL" but don't say this means more users to report bugs/vulnerabilities to that project.

They say "Our case study of the LibreSSL and BoringSSL forks further demonstrates a linear correspondence between source code removal and vulnerability removal." Possibly a useful finding! But we still don't know what happens when you remove a ton of someone else's code, but then add a ton of your own unique code. To research that, they'd need competing projects that similarly care about vulnerability IDs (CVEs or other IDs), and have similar populations of potential bug reporters and/or similar opportunities for bug bounties.
Three months ago I found myself writing a proposal for work that would take several times the budget that was available. A manager had an idea: why not do it 'agile'? We would have two-week sprints, and at the end of each sprint a meeting with the customer to present work and define the direction of the next sprint. Great idea, right?

So my next task, obviously, was to define the content of all the sprints and write them down in the proposal. I was well aware of the absurdity of the whole thing but did it anyway, carefully planning out what would be done in each sprint. Sure, it sounds stupid, but just look at how cute it is! It's like a whole bunch of little waterfalls! People pay good money to see such nice waterfalls, you know!
I 100% agree that adverse selection is a problem, but the government's rule doesn't really fix it. All that happened is that people with known health problems will look harder for full-time jobs, and healthier people will take the part-time jobs that pay slightly more per hour.

This is not a new question. In fact, over 100 years ago, a person got really famous writing a book called Progress and Poverty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_and_Poverty

His name was Henry George, and he famously recommended reducing all taxes to one: the land tax. His book was hailed by everyone from Milton Friedman to Leo Tolstoy and US Presidents wrote glowing reviews. And somehow, it is all forgotten today, except among trained economists who had to maybe read it in college. Most libertarians in the US today are capitalist, and have no concept of Georgism or left-libertarianism.

You’ve fallen prey to a mathematical fallacy. Imagine a place where one person is born each year, and all of them die upon reaching age 10. The average age of that population is 5, while the expected lifespan is 10. At any given time, the expected lifespan will be somewhere around double the average age. So, there’s no need for the average age to jump dramatically, we are already there.
