Thank you for taking the time to explain :)

I completely see that this will break existing code, but I don't see how this is different from the behavior of Go (where the setTimeout code would be something in a different goroutine) or Python?
Have you heard of Bounded Rationality? There is an upper bound on what the chimp brain can do. No big diff with a group of chimps. There is always an upper bound.

Pretending there is no bound leads to a big trap.

Its like telling second graders they can solve tenth grade problems. They cant no matter what they are entertained by, how well they built od consensus or how hard they work. All that it archives is make them feel useless or angry and plants the seeds for pointless blame games.

Huxley and Orwell are irrelevant as they focus on things beyond the bound. Naturally they have no workable solutions out of the trap.

Bounded rationality however does recommends a way out of the trap - work on simple problems. Thats how the ants thrive.
We have Lewis F. Powell and Milton Friedman to thank for this.
My concern is not how things are covered, but what is covered. The article states that certain things (like the owner's dalliances outside his marriage) will never be covered at all. Chomsky and others talk about constraining the topics for discussion, and this seems the most concerning.
This is a familiar frustration. I've entered a number of recreational cycling events, and every time I do they'll give you another cheap drawstring bag, water bottle, and t-shirt that I will almost certainly never wear or use. I already have better versions of all of these things that I've been using for years. But the incentive, even when it's explicitly stated as environmentally conscious - is more likely promotional, and often times driven by outside sponsors anyway.

It takes a big mindset shift that is not easily made in a consumer-focused capitalist economy. It's easy to sell more, cooler things as a solution to a problem, but if consumption is part of the problem it's hard to incentivize doing more with what you already have, which was always the first two of the three R's.

That's also why these kind of corporate green campaigns (and for that matter many other pro-social campaigns) don't really work. It's not even that the people putting them on don't believe in what they're doing. It's just that they are constrained by the capital earning goals of the corporations, which will push back against any work that would undercut both the power/profit of the company individually and the capitalist system undergirding it and its place in the world.
I'm explaining why this isn't the best path toward equal treatment. Companies may agree with your specifics but not the method.

Snitching on the neighborhood bully would be a good thing. Snitching on a company cooking the books, etc. But people also can't trust the snitch. Companies can't trust activists (whatever their persuasion).

Some other expressions of this are seen as “men clam up” in front of me. Basically they now don’t want something to be misinterpreted. It’s to be expected.
We need to give credit were credit is due. Torvalds deserves it, not because of all the code the he wrote, it was not that much and many others could have done the same, but the process that he developed was (and still is, the key). He managed to get together the hacking community AND the industry. Think about all the work involved in merging features and fixes: gazillions of patches. From this work, git was also born and again the genius in Torvalds knew that his job was done, he paved the way and promoted Junio Hamano to be its maintainer.
Specifically, if Joe Binance runs off with everyone's money, he collapses the web of trust that underpins the financial system itself, since there isn't some fiat entity to print more BTC quickly. He destroys faith in the currency ("why would I use a currency that easily stolen of I could just use dollars?") and his ill-gotten goods crash in value... Nobody wants to take them for other things of value because they can't spend them.

This creates an incentive for Joe Binance to play fair (or at least, fair enough that he doesn't wreck trust).
Fine - so you're taking the "oppressive" act definition as opposed to the singular ruler.

Let's continue to unpack that - "opressive" implies "unreasonable" acts

Continue "unreasonable" suggests that the actions conform to no reason

So your point about tyranny effectively becomes that you don't think masks or ensuring that people interact less reduces the spread of COVID. However there's real evidence of both of those things helping reduce the spread.

Effectively your argument is that you don't want to do a thing, so someone making you do that thing is a tyrant?

I'm not sure we get anywhere else on this.
I would never use the word "snitching" to describe sticking up for marginalized/mistreated people. Nor would I ever work for a company that sees it as such.

For me, no amount of money is worth compromising basic human decency but YMMV.
You'd think that, but not even the local DMV actually accepts cash dollars. They lack the security tools necessary to store and transfer them to the bank, so they've gone to requiring checks, money orders, or credit card

Nasa is research motivated. These companies are profit and ego driven.

You might think the food is more healthy, but life expectancy in the 1800s tells a very different story:

Advances in medicine probably contributed more to that, however.

We totally do emulate organisms on that scale. The real challenge is simulating the sensory inputs and the feedback loop between the outputs, the environment as the body acts, then new inputs.

Disembodied simulations of nerual networks don't work. They are part of a body, an environment, and all the feedback loops that come with it.

It sounds like you really just want to see a ML algorithm have a body to learn in. Why we ever expect AGI to happen without letting an ML algorithm learn by interacting with a "real" reality seems strange to me. By all means, keep making glorified optic nerve and expecting them to "wake up".
That has to be true, right? There's just way too much to understand and it's impossible to come up with an absolute ordering of importance. At some point you have to delegate huge chunks of your understanding.

And it works 9 out of 10 times. It's just that one time that's a problem, but it's still probably the most optimal strategy for nearly everyone.
> that's for "Sold and Shipped by Amazon" stuff; I haven't a foggiest how things which are Sold by XYZ but Fulfilled by Amazon; vs Sold & Shipped by ABC are done

Fulfilled by Amazon is the same as Sold and Shipped by Amazon in this regard. They may combine these in one shipment; it's not separated by vendor.

Sold and Shipped from $VENDOR is a separate system. Amazon notifies the vendor, who ships the merchandise using whatever delivery service they want to use. These orders will never be combined with a Sold and Shipped by Amazon or Fulfilled by Amazon order.
>Snitching on the neighborhood bully would be a good thing. But people also can't trust the snitch.

You're projecting. Maybe you wouldn't trust the "snitch". Most educated people would see him/her as a victim and show sympathy.

This isn't prison for crying out loud.
This looks great, I would love to give it a try (but I only have an Android phone).
Yes. They have deep internal biases that present themselves as 'concern', but these biases lead them to disregard the actual stated desires of the very groups they're trying to save.

For example, both blacks and Hispanics overwhelmingly support vouchers. But do white progressives support them? No instead they've made up their own narratives about how these groups are best served by the very public schools that have failed them.

As a brown man in america, at some point, you look around and realize your 'allies' do not have your best interests at heart and are more interested in using your skin color as a token for social status.

So while I don't think these people intentionally are seeking to harm others, I do believe that by refusing to realize what many many many others are staying and by not thinking critically but rather accepting the predominant narrative (one that harms minorities), they bear responsibility.

It's better to be apathetic and do nothing than to advocate for these stupid plans that no one wants.

At some point, the end results is more important than assuaging the consciences of those trying to achieve mediocrity.
What's the difference?

Whether it's in school or your neighborhood or work. Stick up for what's proper in school or neighborhood labels you a snitch. You're trying to do what's right. And it is the right thing, it's just that people cannot trust that person from then on.
It only concerns file format right? I interpreted the preceding conversation as talking about format in the sense of data having the same schema and maybe being interoperable, and not just file format. Nothing I read seems to indicate that seamless interoperability is a requirement [0] [1].

Interoperability seems a little difficult to enforce, like brokers that don't support fractional shares might need to start supporting them to import data from other brokers. Edit: I guess this example is poor but I just wanted to point out that schema/interop also involves data domain, validation, etc.

It is quantitative, but in an abstract way.

You see the color "brown" as a reception of a photon of a certain wavelength onto your retina, which is sent to your brain.

Visual perception can be equated to camera perception, but the data isn't represented the same way. Humans are just much better at "analog input" than computers are.

When you see things around you, it's natural to try to classify it at multiple levels. In our early formative years, we learn shapes, lines, colours, etc.

This said, "Brown" is just a label we put on a the perception of a photo's wavelength, which is quantitative on the light spectrum. All raw data is quantitative. Qualitative data are just the labels we put on it, but if we're going to general intelligence, we can't shortcut learning this way.
Well, when you say "american media" then don't include all "media" sources, it just looks like clickbait.

There's a logical train here, that I think you're attempting to work around.

1. Nasa is a jobs program
2. A jobs program that produces good tech?
3. Yeah, but what did SLS produce?
4. You know that SLS is not NASA (is what I should have said). But I actually said was close enough.

3 makes zero sense unless the poster believes NASA ~= SLS.

I find it fun that we're saying the same thing (NASA != SLS), yet here we are arguing.
If you’re a member of Congress running for re-election, what’s a better sales pitch? “I voted for a slightly more cost-effective space program, which saved taxpayer dollars in a way that is almost completely disconnected from how much tax you have to pay”? Or, “I created jobs in this district by voting to award a federal contract to <LOCAL_SUBCONTRACTOR>“?

I'm sure we've all seen alcohol or illicit drug use used to further the morality tales we tell ourselves.

Lead is a lot harder to do it with because it was in water or paint.
It's really hard to say or sure, but personally I think Torvalds' leadership had a lot to do with it as well.

I know the "public image" is one of a shouty twat hurling insults and giving the finger, but that's just part of is style (previous comment: [1]). Overall, he seems quite pleasant and reasonable: someone you can disagree with, and who isn't afraid to say "okay, that's fair, I changed my mind". The general attitude is one of pragmatism, which is not the case for all (high-profile) maintainers out there.

Linux also always had comparatively low barriers of entry to get stuff merged; it's a bit higher now (quite a lot actually), but during the 90s and 00s there was some disdain from BSD folk towards Linux as "anything will get merged". This was not a completely unfair criticism; I mean, we're still stuck with things like ALSA today right? It also allowed Linux to grow much faster however; getting something merged to BSD involved a lot more review/effort. It's a trade-off.

Stability and "we never break userland" is another important piece, again, driven by Linus.

Also, the FreeBSD 5 release was kind of bad. They changed a lot of internals, and it was far less stable than FreeBSD 4. I never had any problems on 4, but 5 had an alarming number of freezes and the like. This was mostly fixed in FreeBSD 6, but it turned a lot of people off.

How is star link moving the world forward. A small amount of rural people get faster internet is not a big deal. Satellite based internet already exists, it's not ground breaking. It's also at the expense of polluting the orobit around the earth. It's also just profit motivated, the intent isn't to make the world better, just sell more crap to more people
That is false except for the case that x is a global variable, no outside function can change the value of x, only in-scope procedures can do that.
In fall arrest this is a common term, and it's super accurate, regardless whether it's common with rock climbers, these are definitely anchors. So it's not surprising that a MIT paper would use it.

A more specific example, Black Diamond's camalot z4 are described in their manual as 'frictional anchors'

Edit: of course there is a standard hah - EN 12276:2013 Mountaineering Equipment – Frictional Anchors
Optimism comes from scientific first principles, economic fundamentals, and an awareness that THE #1 most fully recycled mass-produced product on the planet are vehicular lead acid batteries. Approximately 90% of batteries sold end up in the hands of recyclers, who are able to recycle 99% of their contents.

Once there's a strong pipeline of electric cars headed for wreckers, the scale is there for recycling to be significantly more profitable than mining raw materials. The scale isn't there right now because most battery packs pulled from vehicles (wrecks, end-of-life, etc) are still highly valuable intact.

Companies like Redwood Materials are scaling up in preparation for this future.

(Non-vehicle lithium batteries are likely too small, too fiddily, too difficult to build a supply chain for that recycling to be economical on their own. But once the pipeline is there, adding all the small batteries to it would be a no-brainer.)
> So, how can all media outlets, newspapers and television stations be in it together?

"Together"?

This is a misconception. There doesn't necessarily need to be a proper and organized conspiracy per se. They simply need a common goal or at least a common direction. What might look like conspiracy is simply a limited number of ways to achieve the goal / direction.

For example, this same phenomenon happens in nature as well.

The point is, to dismiss the media's corruption as "conspiracy theory" is to deny the existence of emergence.

It was legitimately better than anything else at the time it was created. Linus did have the advantage that people listen to him, and not everything that is better succeeds. But it isn't just a case of his popularity. Technical excellence was involved.
Letting him express his opinion would not be "fighting ideological battles"

They went out of their way to pick a side.
Sure, but I don't see how this relates here? My point was that people do want a browser that works well for them, and that the previous comment that "people want a browser that is invisible. They use sites, not browser." doesn't really fit with Brave and Vivaldi's success (also: Opera, and probably a few other browsers).
> Maybe that's justified, or isn't in service of a "surveillance dystopia"

For crying out loud, I oppose a surveillance dystopia as much as anyone and far more than most. But it's not a surveillance dystopia for the things you publicly say and have your name attached to as you publish it to be brought to the attention of the publisher.

If you wanna talk about censorship, we can talk. But that's a different concept often related.

He deserves a lot of recognition but only time will tell. It does not seem so now but Linux could disappear and just be a blip in history.

I think he does not get enough recognition from the big tech companies. He has saved them billions in costs. I would even say that some of the giants might not have even been able to start without his contribution to IT. I hope they start to realize that and make a point of saying so.

What defines someone as a great person of history rather than simply someone of note. History is better kept so we can likely guarantee attribution in the future, but I think being a great person of history means that person is someone you can aspire to and is generally known by the populace outside of their specific "trade". I think Torvalds is someone of note. I doubt he, just like other people in computer science will be remembered generally as time goes on. People will likely learn the names as part of some curriculum and soon be relegated to the annals of computer science as we continue to advance technology. That's just my opinion. We will only know in time.

The idea of your money purchasing less is just a creature of the last 100 years. It doesn't have to be that way, but basically there has been annual share dilution from the US currency corporation for 100 years, it was chartered by Congress in 1913. In currency contexts this is called inflation. In all other asset classes it is called dilution.
It's beyond that. Arguably Huxley's vision of the future is closer to reality. The thing is Huxley's vision is ego syntonic - it's compatible with our self-conception. The characters in Brave New World aren't struggling against anything, their self-conception has adapted so much that they accept the brave new world as right and natural. Orwell's vision is ego dystonic - there is still a "me" in Winston that recognizes the world he lives in as corrupt and struggles against it. In that way the characters of Brave New World are farther gone than Winston and Julia. There is no need for a Thought Police in Brave New World, because everybody has so internalized the value system of the World State that it's not necessary.
Well, a guy with a show called "Politically Incorrect" is supposed to be a contrarian.

Looks like a good spec for the price. You won't have a problem with Ryzen on Linux, but with a dGPU, it's often necessary to use an ACPI hack to keep the dGPU fully powered off, or it'll hurt battery life for no benefit.

Inexpensive gaming laptops are always a significant compromise in some way. If you mostly use it for development and only use it for gaming occasionally, you might end up feeling like the compromise wasn't worth it. It depends how much gaming you want to do and whether you could do it elsewhere, like a console or PC.

> However that would require them to show cause

They can always fabricate cause. I got pulled over last week (I wasn't speeding or anything, I just had out of state plates visiting a friend). When I didn't consent to have him search my vehicle, he walked a dog around my car and fabricated probable cause. I don't do drugs and there have never been drugs in my car, and yet he said the dog "reacted"... Of course he didn't find anything - there was nothing to find. No ticket, just 30-40 minutes of him going through all my possessions.

I guess I should be grateful he didn't "seize" something or shoot me.
