Can't get if this is sarcasm or not. If true, it's scary how fast micro-fields are created and funded once there is a political purpose behind it, so that policies can be rubber-stamped as science. If false, nice troll.
It's a funny thought that FB would hire another company to exploit their own software. Because you'd think the dev wouldn't need that. But it actually makes sense, since building in an exploitable flaw (intentionally or not) is NOT the same as making real-world use of it.

Plus even soliciting a 3rd party gives you plausible deniability if someone comes asking you if you exploited the flaw yourself. Oh, to be a capitalist in the 21st century is to feel ALIVE!
I don't disagree with you. What I'm trying to say is that there are forcing functions which make it so Brazil continues to let this pass, many of which are entrenched in the history of Brazil. Calling them stupid or ignorant is to miss the forest for the trees, and ignores the fact that these activities were propelled by foreign institutions/corporations as well. To think this is Brazil's own doing is to disregard the effects of capitalism and globalization in the last couple of decades. Sure, Brazil could be "smarter" than this and act in its own interest but that hasn't bode well for most latinamerican countries in the last half century.

For Brazil to "care" the dollar value of keeping the forest untouched needs to be greater _for everyone involved_ than that of using it to graze cattle or cultivate soy. The dollar value is certainly greater all things considered (past, present, and future) but that value is less tangible to land owners and ultimately the country itself. You have to understand the socioeconomic and political context leading to these conditions.

Same goes for Indonesia and Borneo cutting down their forest for palm oil.

No Code Blogs Using Notion as CMS
I am Vijay, the founder of https://blogic.so. I have started working on this only 2 weeks ago and I think I am ready to show the first draft. I am excited to be part of the No Code journey.

What if you could ditch clunky web builders and expensive templates while going from idea to iteration in less than a minute flat. Even better, imagine being able to create and manage your website without ever leaving Notion. That’s something Notion users have wanted a long time, and now you have it with Blogic.

What is it about Covid-19 that make people want to decide what others should do (vaccine mandate).

The MMR vaccine was made nearly 60 years ago and it took another five years to improve it.

On the other side you have the fastest vaccine ever created for the entire world in the form of Covid-19 vaccines.

To mandate the vaccine is overreaching, and i for one am glad that this is now being addressed.

Let people choose the vaccine freely without any coercion or mandate.

This isn't the first time Facebook have attempted this behavior, previously they were successful in purchasing a zero-day exploit and launching it against users. [1]

You may think that case warrants an exception, but it sets a clear precedent and encourages the hoarding of zero-days.

I think it's extremely easy to believe Facebook would launch exploits at users because they already have.

Just because someone has formed strong opinions about some aspect of a subject, doesn't mean they can't be open minded about another aspect. They plainly state that they don't have clear answers about many of the questions that Copilot raises, and this isn't going to be the last time that those issues appear. It is these broader issues that they want to hold discussions about, not Copilot itself. I don't see any reason not to accept this interest as genuine.
I read the whole thing yesterday and it's more about culture and how the majority of people in groups manage interpersonal things.

The pontificating on what drives the founders and c-levels kind of goes into the weeds a bit. I was hoping for more concrete examples of the types of speech, as well.

But the culture parts of the essays was quite thought-provoking.

They are implemented, but I would say there are still bugs in it and it isn't yet 100% trustworthy. Moving E2EE out of beta is one of the goals for the next release though. There are still some minor kinks, but I have been using Nheko as my primary client for E2EE chats for 2 years now. I wouldn't trust it if you know someone is actively trying to get at your data, but for normal day to day chats the current master branch should be good enough.

Things that are currently still missing:
- online key backup: The asymmetric version allows server operators to insert keys and the symmetric one isn't yet supported by any client. I don't use key backup on my account, since I have enough devices that I don't need it and it makes bugs in E2EE harder to find.
- cross-signing bootstrap: You need Element to enable cross-signing on your account once atm.
- A toggle to only send keys to verified devices in a room and warnings if unverified devices are in a room: currently working on this
- Fixing one stupid edge case, where we create new identity keys by mistake, if Nheko fails to open the database and this breaks E2EE for that login. Hard to hit by accident, but it happens quite a lot if you change database code and mess something up. :D

I think apart from that we are in somewhat good shape. I still have a few small things on my to do list and we obviously need to go through the code a few more times to look for mistakes and test it a lot more, but for 0.9.0 that should be doable. After 0.9.0 we'll probably look into fallback keys as well as dehydrated devices.

I'm not sure about the point you're trying to make.

The famous reference is about Abraham Wald looking at all of the common places that planes didn't get shot. That's where you put the armor. And it was really effective. (there's another good one about helmets).

Maybe you're saying, yes it's embarrassing to have some static content hosted on some random cloud instance get compromised - but that's clearly not fatal. You have finite resources to devote to security, so pick your battles.

But I think you're saying something else. I don't quite get it.
Because Tesla did not demonstrate fake trucks to get funding or take orders. The prototypes are not making materially false implications. Tesla does have the technology to make electric trucks, however bad they may be compared to Nikola which had a rolling shell.

Tesla and Musk do many bad things, but I'm sure if their truck was just a shell - they'd be in deep trouble too.

> We're discussing a policy in which all Google employees who come into the office are being forced to vaccinate on the grounds that if any do not, it might be dangerous.

No one made that argument. Even implicitly. Google wouldn't have an exception process if they thought even 1 person unvaccinated is dangerous. And basically it's the same policy many schools have for other vaccinations.

> Your herd immunity numbers are just made up. I saw many estimates last year and none were even close to 90%.

Last July the US GAO said 70 to 90% for most viruses. Their chart implied up to about 86% for COVID-19.[1]

Fauci in December: "We really don’t know what the real number is. I think the real range is somewhere between 70 to 90 percent."[2]

WHO in December: "The proportion of the population that must be vaccinated against COVID-19 to begin inducing herd immunity is not known." But about 95% and 80% for 2 other viruses.[3]

I would hope there would be low hanging fruits. Pathfinding for example causes huge huge issues late in the game, same with the fluid calculations. Of course we have no idea how Tarn implemented these things, but I would have to guess if you need to do pathing for 50 entities in a single frame, you could probably parallelize them?!
Granted, this is taking them at their word, but they're certainly claiming that they'll be shipping two of those games every week for the first 12 weeks after the system ships.

A CPA or EA who is familiar with tax planning should be able to handle that side of it. You will want an attorney for the sales agreement and terms. I would suggest an accounting or law firm focused on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) if you prefer a specialist.

No, that just means that some people ignore or discount objective facts for ideological reasons. The Earth is roughly a sphere, and that is empirically provable.

The arbiter should be well established science, history, math and logic. Of course there is still room for plenty of debate where the matter is not already settled by overwhelming evidence. That's where there shouldn't be an arbiter. But for factual matters like the Earth being (roughly) spherical, there's no actual debate. Just belief that goes contrary to the evidence.

> However, what you are stating I think is the viewpoint of most people.

Do you think that most people think that whether a claim is true depends on Facebook's stance on that claim? That would be extremely shocking to me. My impressions is the opposite: that there is mainstream repulsion to Facebook (and Twitter, etc.) being so bold as to take any stance on factual issues.

> 2. When you go to a doctor to have a procedure or have an emergency then you don't know what you are paying.

Even when it's not an emergency, it's an amazing bucket of crap.

I take a specialized drug that's very expensive (~85k$/yr). I was considering changing jobs. No one in the HR of the new company, or the CSR side of the new insurer would tell me with any certainty that it'd be covered. The best I could get out of anyone is "we think it's covered, but we cannot promise it will be, nor will we pay out of pocket if it isn't". My doctor's office would just say "most of our patients on <x> insurance can get coverage. Not all, but most"

The bit about not covering it out of pocket might be a statement on how much they wanted me, but the first part is just maddening. It's a large part of the reason I didn't switch jobs. At least I know I can get insurance to cover the drug for now.

CEO of a big company, but not a well known name. He retired a while back. I'd rather not give too much of my work history away, and his name wouldn't be of much use to anyone.

I only met him a few times but he was one of those guys who seemed to be able to figure you out from the start and knew how to connect with you just instinctively. It probably helped that his early history was engineering, then sales, then up the executive chain. He understood the 'types' of folks who did those jobs and how to work with them.
I feel like I'm missing out of a lot of cool experiences, but I just can't get behind the hardware being, effectively, a rental on Facebook's whim. Does it bother you that Facebook can deny your use of the Oculus hardware with little to no recourse available?

re: bandwidth - I have a 90s sysadmin background. Analogous to being a "child of the depression" I have a permanent paranoia re: bandwidth scarcity. Years of making a living supporting corporate WANs running across drinking straw-sized pipes with to-the-moon-and-back latency has, no doubt, scarred me. I can't help but think that the world would be better, however, if developers tried to make things that worked "local first" and kept traffic on the local network as much as possible.

Overall I'm probably destined for "hermit living in a shack" when it comes to the direction technology is going. I'm a market segment of about a baker's dozen of people, I'd guess.

I have no tolerance for products that are unable to function without the use of a third-party system for any reason other by necessity. If a product requires compute or storage resources that, by necessity, need to be off-device then so be it. If the product needs off-device resources to drive a vendor lock-in model, DRM, etc, then it's a net negative for humanity.

Living in a world where Lamport's famous distributed systems quote[0] is also really infuriating to me. I want my stuff to work when I want it to work. Nobody can take away my locally-hosted stuff.

Buy a DE-10 Nano and get MisterFPGA running on it. It’s been great replaying arcade perfect classics like Pac-Man and Space Invaders and also being able to dive into classic SNES and MegaDrive games that I missed out on the first time around. Exploring some other totally missed systems like TurboGrafx which basically never got sold here or only at totally crazy prices has been fantastic as well. It’s got an amazing & friendly community building up around it as well.
For me personally I like for it to snow but not hang around more than a day or two. Southeast is kind of ideal for this. Couple snow storms a year in the peak of winter and during those the low is normally around the 20s. It can snow on a Monday and be back hitting 70 by Thursday.

Though it can lead to ice and things like the Atlanta snowpacalypse.

>The view of "if we just implement it right" it will be fine is a fallacy.

Good thing I didn't say that then. The original comment that I was challenging said there was no such thing as fact checking. "Fact checking is hard" is not an argument in support of the idea that fact checking doesn't exist as a concept.

>We are seeing what "reasonable censorship" actually looks like. It is an oxymoron.

What is your definition of censorship? Because there is plenty of speech that I think is reasonable to censor. Obviously there is the illegal speech. Should Facebook be forced to host threats, defamation, copyright infringement, child porn, etc? What about the speech that is not illegal but is objectionable in some way? Should Facebook be forced to include hardcore porn in people's feeds if someone posts it? Once we establish that not all speech is appropriate in all contexts, censorship sure starts to seem reasonable. We just don't call it censorship because of the negative connotation. We call "reasonable censorship" moderation.
I own 2 units and I never use them… just sitting in boxes after having set them up and played for a bit. Even prior to smartphones I had a stationary phone that I used.
