Oh absolutely! I was surprised to find that the communist city planning in Poland made for extremely livable cities. The block apartments may not have much going for them architecturally, but they are arranged around beautiful parks and gardens, wonderful public spaces dotted with stores and markets. The best way to describe the planning philosophy is US college dorm life on a big state campus. It's even common to have a canteen in the center of the neighborhood just like you would a dining hall. The only sad thing is that as car ownership expands, the green space keeps getting eaten away by parking lots since these areas were designed for car-free living with excellent transit links to the rest of the city.

Why would you suspect that? 77.5% of the respondents were EU citizens.
I imagine this happening only in the least well-run countries. In any country with a functioning military, they'll probably organize a mass operation of moving people into temporary refugee camps in cooler areas of the country or into caves, underground structures etc. For people who won't be moved, they'll provide food and water for them so that people don't need to leave their hiding places during the day. (Also, I suspect that, after first major killer heat wave hits an area, people will have their own contingency strategies - be it digging a cellar for themselves to stay in, move to relatives in cooler areas for the duration etc.). However, I'm not sure if for example India is organized enough to pull this off, given their absolutely massive population.

It is not possible to reduce R below 1 through vaccination alone with the current vaccines and the current Delta variant. The press has had a tendency to downplay or even outright lie about this, especially in countries with lower vaccine uptakes where it's politically convenient, but the British press and medical experts seem to be a bit more upfront with this now that 75% of adults are fully vaccinated and almost 90% have had at least one shot: https://www.politico.eu/article/herd-immunity-not-a-possibil...

That's a good question! This paper also mentions "Dele. BF [43]" - the "The Deletable Bloom Filter: A New Member of the Bloom Family" https://www.researchgate.net/publication/260668624_The_Delet... . As far as I see, lookup is identical to the regular Bloom filter. Yet the vacuum filter paper lists the throughput of the Deletable Bloom Filter to be almost twice as the Bloom filter (1.95x). How can that be? Maybe I misunderstand something here.

Yes, a peer review is supposed to catch completely incorrect numbers. But in many cases, a reviewer doesn't have access to the source code, and no way to re-run the tests.

The meta data happened long ago and was pushed through with the most flimsy of pretence.

I remember it was after the shooting in Sydney by an Iranian refugee who had not only just been in custody but had arrive under the pretence that he was an Iranian spy seeking asylum. They had every reason to surveil the guy under normal laws but used it as an excuse to justify a drag net approach. It was obviously an Orwellian trick but no one cared.

It's not just that you have a welfare state to fall back on, it's also that a lot of ordinary jobs are quite boring. There's a huge government sector where you can play with red tape, and then there's the well-known corporations where you can do the same. Or you can scrape by in a small business like a restaurant or hairdresser.

So why not give it a go?

This is what works in most EU countries now.

Life expectancy maybe increased a few months, but it is extremely bad science that you can just increase pension in consequence.

He boasts 24 publications in Mankind Quarterly and 20 in OpenPsych, both of which he seems to run himself. Mankind Quarterly according to Wikipedia 'has been described as a "cornerstone of the scientific racism establishment", a "white supremacist journal", an "infamous racist journal", and "scientific racism's keepers of the flame"'.

There are excellent cases to be made why privacy and encryption should not be compromised in the name of hot button issues like "protecting children" but citing a study by a "scientific racist" and eugenicist, who is a known advocate for legalizing child pornography, to trivialize child sexual abuse is not it.

You don't need to be a "left liberal" not to cite Emil Kirkegaard. Being a decent human being or having any appreciation of actual science would suffice.

The entire internet was built on the assumption of good actors and until recently non-secure protocols & models were the default.

Only in the past decade has there been serious consideration for encryption and security on the internet.

Before Let's Encrypt was launched in 2014, HTTPS was the exception, rather than the norm. It was only in 2016 that greater than 50% of internet traffic was encrypted.

Secure DNS is still very much a work in progress.

BGP was built with the assumption of good actors, and doesn't include any security mechanisms.

Email still doesn't have any good options for E2E encryption.

> TikTok's algorithm has introduced me to my (now) favorite neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ content makers.

But when did that start? Possibly earlier before the “people who attract trouble” filters were added in to the algorithms or tweaked. Now you've shown engagement with those families of content other parts of the recommendation system will be taking precedence over the negative filters. A newer user than yourself may have quite a different experience, only finding those groups through external recommendation.

> Honestly, if they decide to keep it a clique... I don't mind at all.

So now you are in the clique, you are fine with it being a clique (not just that: a clique born of external pressure to keep it quiet, not through the cliques choice) and other like you but not there yet can fend for themselves?

[I'm deliberately pulling your words towards an extreme a little here to make a point: being happy with your position in the status quo does not mean it is a good status quo, just that you exist near a local maxima]

As the userbase continues to grow, these artificial cliques will become increasingly more minority and the whole system will become a more unpleasant place for people who don't fit the supported pattern (and as they are filtering the bullied not the bullies, the supported pattern, the future majority if it isn't already, implicitly includes the bullies).

> All the people I interact with there get me. I've never felt this anywhere else.

While the filtering described above (stop bullying by hiding the people who might be bullied because it is easier than actually dealing with the bullies) can be seen to have a positive effect of keeping the knuckle-dragging numbskulls away from your communities, it also hides your communities from others like you who might need their support or could otherwise benefit from being part of them.

> but simply being themselves

As long as you don't mind being yourselves to a limited audience, where the limits are set by external pressures not your needs/desires. If you'll forgive another appeal to the extreme: tiktok filtering differences that might attract bullying seems to me not dissimilar to allowing you to be yourselves but only if you wouldn't mind terribly, being who you are in just those specific seats at the back of the bus, thanks.

---

Not that I have an axe to grind for myself here (straight, white, middle class, middle-aged, native English speaker, approaching financially comfortable, ..., about as divergent as an entirely undivergent thing) other than a bit of bullied-for-being-different as a kid (being a geek/nerd type wasn't fashionable back then) but I have friends & other contacts all over the various spectra and from what I know of their experiences and how tiktok is run and how similar things have played out over the decades, what you describe sounds to be a very short term good thing that is (and will continue to be if unchecked) an increasingly closed off part of the system, a walled garden built not to keep you safe but to keep you out of sight. Allowing yourself to be kept out of sight is not how to encourage society to move forward and be more accepting.

Sure some contracts will have bugs at the beginning, but those faulty contract won't get reused.

In theory you can create a new token per contract to cap the maximum potential loss. Then you increase this maximum potential loss as the contract get used in the open and therefore become more robust.

You probably can write some guarantee fund smart contract to compensate for when bug happen.

Sooner or later we will have to implement a high-level error-correction mechanism to handle the bugs generated by the weak AI : Like a paradigm shift where you expect bugs to happen and handle them instead of expecting no bugs.

Well perhaps your nephews aren't in the group of people who should be on TikTok.

That doesn't mean that it's like that for everyone.

Drug analogy: people use Adderall as a party drug too, but some really benefit from having it in their day-to-day life.

Nobody said anything about "basing happiness and wellbeing" on TikTok, btw. It's a strawman claim.

What TikTok does is it connects people who wouldn't otherwise know of each other, lets many people interact with videos, and just be themselves. It's a good place to be at today.

What it already has done is it normalized people just sharing their slices of life and thoughts instead of creating highly polished content (which also exists). And the interactions are peer-to-peer.

It has the most Wen 1.0 vibe of yore out of all platforms. Except instead of ugly HTML with <blink> tags, it's your messy bedroom and untamed hair. But it's yours.

> Throwing away threat models and the meaning of secure and encrypted just to be able to define something that competes for attention as "not secure" and "not encrypted" (from other threads) isn't very high level, it is basic framing.

It's basic, but it's valid. I was responding to all your "It doesn't matter if it is E2E-encrypted if xyz" points, which are faulty logic; if whether it's E2E-encrypted matters in your threat model, then whether it's E2E-encrypted still matters in your threat model even if other aspects of the system are secure.

> Remember, when Telegram came around WhatsApp was un-encrypted. Not point-to-point encrypted, just encoded. You didn't need to know or crack a key, you just needed toknow the protocol.

Citation? I don't remember it happening that way at all; Telegram marketed themselves by attacking WhatsApp on a couple of minor vulnerabilities in side features like video handling (which was legitimate in some ways, but extremely hypocritical given the bigger weaknesses in Telegram's own implementation). If message text was readable that would have been a much bigger deal.

It also stops speculation because the property becomes an obligation that has to be taken care of.
