Nothing is free. If workers deliver something quicker when working in the office, changes are they get burnt out quickly and any gain in productivity would be lost. Plus you may start building resentment in them and I have seen whole teams quitting which cost company fortune.

It was worth a chuckle.

As a heavy user of Multi-account Containers, I will be interested to see how this feature interacts with it. I use containers to maintain multiple profiles on websites and loosing all the data for those websites after clearing cookies can be frustrating.
> The developers need to make the apps, otherwise there's no marketplace.

Why is publishing the source code such a burden, when the apparent target are unsophisticated users? Are developers afraid that users will start cloning repos and build their own binaries?

> An App Store (like Apple's) can have strict rules where developers will be banned if they do malicious things.

Apple will rat you out to the cops if you take a picture of human skin on "your own" phone, why should they be a benchmark for anything security or privacy related?
> As one small example: while H.W. Bush was able to show his goodness and his morality by fighting for Taiwan's role and for democracy in his role as Ambassador to the UN, Kissinger's controversial pro-PRC stance, however much I despise the PRC government today and then, was what was necessary for the time.

Bizarre framing, given that Taiwan wasn't a democracy in 1971 but rather a military dictatorship.

I am sorry to hear this.

Are you comparing yourself to yourself of yesterday, or are you comparing yourself to the fictional characters of others on social media?
The downvotes are going to the people phrasing things using weird conspiratorial language. You can get much more support by simply saying “I think Apple is doing this because of government pressure behind the scenes”.
I have around 10 repos and perhaps a few hundred contributions total over all my years. Got accepted within a few days. Seems to be random.
I'm not sure I understand the forces that are pressing Elastic into action at this particular juncture (by most accounts, the company is definitely sustainable), but it does seem as though they've reached a point where thinking has been worn down to a knee-jerk "We Must Do Something. This is Something, Therefore We Must Do It."

It isn't as though they are completely boxed in. There are strategies and tactics they could employ that they haven't tried yet to pick and choose among.
>but not paying taxes on capital gains

...that haven't been realized yet. As you draw on your reserves, you'll be forced to realize those gains and pay taxes on them, making this a non-issue.

>willingly "unemployed" in your productive years to "enjoy life" and "freedom"

Ah yes, because the goal of life isn't to enjoy it, it's to be as productive as possible! Freedom is overrated anyways!

>as the crypto miners trying to avoid taxes.

Are miners known to be tax dodgers or something?

>but if everyone just retired early or sat at home mining coins, where will society end up?

"retired early": there would be an imbalance of labor demand compared to supply. This will cause prices to go up, which will make it less attractive to stay "retired" and more attractive to start working again.

"sat at home mining": same thing that would happen if everyone decided to gold mine. eventually there would be a saturation of miners and it won't be profitable anymore, causing people to exit.
> We can look at other controversial decisions like Allende, the Yom Kippur War, and Vietnam in the same light.

Isn't it basically like saying Xi Jinping made a controversial decision to wipe out the Uyghurs?
Is this some sort of six-degrees thing where Eric Schmidt wanted to co-author a book with Kissinger (or the other way around) for the prestige? And then they paid Huttenlocher to actually write it?

I saw the previous post gaining no traction, and personally had fun testing the service with C / Audio code before, so I wanted it to stay afloat a bit longer, at least.

Gnome is actually quite good I find myself at odds with some of their defaults for workspaces but they're in the right ball park when it comes to aesthetics and organising the UI.
I would very much like to have a guake like terminal for mac os. That and a workspace persistent file explorer. But I think that kind of desktop enhancement that is bug free and feature full is hard to come by.

Also since you're on Linux I'm looking for a linux alternative for this tool. https://github.com/chipsenkbeil/choose It's a gui chooser I don't know if such a thing exists for linux. I suspect it might be quite easy to implement one with electron.
By the way what I'm not looking for is something like alfred for linux. That would be an overkill.

Add in the Brian Brooks lasting two months as CEO of .US and Catherine Coley's short stint (and disappearance).

I'm just reading "Guns, Germs, and Steel" and one of the central theses of that book is that discovery was always random and only later was applied useful.

> In my mind, understanding a thing means you can justify an answer.

Do you understand cats? If I show you a picture of either a cat or a dog do you think you can tell which one it is? I think most people could solve that challenge, and if pressed they could vax poetically about what makes them think it is a cat. Maybe they would mention the shape of an ear, or talk about feline grace or what have you. But is that really a “justification”? Let alone one they can “defend”? How would “defending” even work in this situation?
(Sorry, I didn't check this thread until now).

I think it's better to get it done.

Firstly, and maybe most importantly, because it's a source of badness in your friendship. The longer it goes on, the more chance you feel resentful of your friend for not following through, and the more chance they feel bad about saying they'd like to do it, and not being able to, and that starts to breed resentment on their part too.

If somehow something happens in the future, and your friend gets some spare time/motivation/whatever to contribute again, then they can always ask if you'd like to try again.

Aside from that though, if you've cleaned up this situation, then your slate is clear: you're not putting energy into this problem, and you're free, both time-wise and mentally, to seek out a new partner. That's the best thing for your project.

“We can’t know what would have happened if $historicalfigure hadn’t done $badthing,” is a very weak line of argument. One could similarly suggest that the Nazi Holocaust was better than what might have happened under other circumstances.
DNS is not decentralized in the manner you'd probably like to think. It has a centralized root authority. You could have a list of ICANN defaults if you are worried about anything changing
>I'd be happy to explain the functions of most of these if you'd like.

Please do if you have the time? I think that would be incredibly interesting, to know what all those compounds are actually doing.
My understanding is that decentralization helps avoid things like runaway inflation or banks deciding at will how much money they want to siphon off each transaction. If you are stealing someone else’s money, a court is not going to dismiss charges just because the transaction is not reversible according to the protocol of whatever cryptocurrency you used.

That's kind of a weird argument. I can understand not buying the book, not wanting to reward him, but it seems like a pretty separate dimension from "trusting his advice". I have no reason to think alleged "war criminals" are more or less trustworthy than the average politician.
Sorry, it's more of me being tired of hearing him dismissed as a war criminal with nothing that can be gleaned from him — the comment above claimed he had nothing to teach in geopolitics (I had quoted it).

I imagine that nearly everyone with a unique perspective is capable of having interesting thoughts on AI and technology with how ubiquitous it's become. If you'd like me to venture a couple guesses as reasons for his relevance:

(1) AI will become closely intertwined with government and governmental processes.
(2) There will be an increasingly asymmetric power relationship growing with the power of AI.

He's very experienced with government, with asymmetric power relationships, and he's notorious for his belief in analyzing more than data in decisions, whereas AI will lead us towards a further reliance on data. If every government eventually has a form of AGI, it will be a fascinating and terrifying geopolitical climate akin to every government having a nuclear warhead. He knows what that evolution is like.

Anyway, my conjecture on the scrapped book aside, here's an article that allegedly led to the book [1].

> The fast-moving fire is officially the second-largest in state history and the biggest single fire on record.

So which is it?
I like all the people I work with and have know them all for 10+ years, but I would never spend time with them outside of work. The idea of conflating my private and public lives is anathema to me.
I would guess the difference in population density (Wikipedia gives me 3/km² for Siberia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Siberia) and 33/km² for the USA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_Sta...)) makes a difference.

That means natural fires will be about three times as far away from firefighters in Siberia. Siberia likely also has fewer roads/km², making it even harder for on the ground firefighters to reach fires.

Also, warmer summers have increased the number of thunderstorms in the Arctic. https://wtop.com/weather-news/2021/03/as-the-arctic-warms-li...:

“Arctic lightning has tripled in just the last decade […] In the Arctic Circle there was an even greater increase in lightning strikes in the Eastern Hemisphere, specifically over Siberia“

(I think I’m not misquoting this by cutting out text, but corrections welcome)

Even though that text plays it down, I think that seems a likely explanation for an increase in forest fires.
As a queer person who uses TikTok, I think you should take some time to challenge your assumptions and get some more information. This video might be informative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MYEtQ5Zdn8

I should correct a mistake I made earlier: all of my numbers cited are likes not views. The TikTok promoting vaccines was seen 3.5 Million times. There are many queer creators with videos in the millions of views, and many more with videos in the hundreds of thousands.

Still, I don't think its reasonable to expect niche content from obese people to perform as well as generic content from normative people. I also don't think its reasonable to expect trans content to perform as well, given that a substantial portion of the US population still doesn't want to recognize or legalize their existence.

Yet, there is an abundance of queer content (content that sought me out, I never told TikTok that I'm gay), much of it quite niche. TikTok sends me enough gay male twink armpit fetish content that I don't realistically think you can say they're making a serious effort to suppress it.

If you're focusing on hashtags and not algorithm suggestions, I think you don't have a strong grasp of how TikTok works. All of the cited sources are quite old, so perhaps it was too early for folks to actually have time to use and understand the service.

Your claim that there is nothing threatening to China or TikTok economically is suspect, given the algorithm has also suggested Uighur muslim genocide content: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMR1RhcUj/ - there are many more. This one has 65k likes. I also had no trouble searching for Taiwan and finding content that is quite hostile to China. I've had the fyp send me content directly critical of TikTok itself.

> “In practice, most of these hashtags are categorised in TikTok’s code in the same way that terrorist groups, illicit substances, and swear words are treated on the platform.”

The implementation details of an app aren't necessarily meaningful in the way you suggest. Twitter does something similar; I can type #isis #gay #weed #sex, and now Twitter has code that handles lgbtq, terrorist, and illicit substance content the same way.

Note that Shodan doesn't try to login using default credentials. If you see banners advertising their defaults it just means that the device is telling you what its defaults are - it doesn't mean that the device is still using them.

That being said, a ton of devices still use default credentials but we don't have any numbers on how many exactly.
Wow. Weird. If it wasn't for Digg linking to TikTok, I'd never see any of its content. Facebook & Insta often result in broken or sign-up links. Maybe that's why.

I actually think it's a good idea to bring focus on Luddism. The core issue is the difference between technology and industrialism.

As the author points out, the Luddites were not opposed to novelty or technology itself. What they were opposing was the industrial mode of production that they perceived as inhuman and exploitative, and destroying particular tools was a tactical measure to stop that process.

A while ago I stumbled over one of George Hotz's blog posts about this which I think fits the discussion.[1]. I don't think we differentiate enough between technology in itself and how it is used within our economic systems, and how that's not the same thing, instead we just have this vague Whig history style narrative of 'progress'. That corporate-PR Accenture quote in OPs article is painful.

Those big-ass different looking applications on desktop you mention are creator's tools. It makes sense they differentiate (specialize) their UX to deliver maximum utility, especially important to carry it over a decade or more of OS design transitions. Of course they look different.

Mobile devices are by and large meant for and used as consumption tools. So consistency is desired there.

You're not wrong! When I make home made bread I don't use only whole wheat flour - it's really difficult to work with and hard to get a good loaf, and I've been making bread on a regular basis for over 30 years! The 'whole wheat white' flours (fine ground 100% whole wheat flour) coming out are really good and allows for an excellent loaf.
What happens in Siberia (and Canada and Alaska) has everything to do with climate change. It will be the most affected region in the world and is already heavily impacted by warming. The Arctic is projected to be sea ice-free in the summer within 15 years, which represents an absolutely enormous change. It will be very fair to pin the coming fires and methane releases on climate change. Geopolitically, Arctic countries are going to receive big benefits on balance from climate change, including new land use options, new oil and gas exploration and new commercial shipping routes.

This is the thing that privacy advocates seem to ignore. Measures taken to reduce child abuse won’t reduce the circulation of whatever CASM does get created.

Some even seem to think, a la the ACLU, that viewing child abuse material is a victimless crime, and only the creators of the CASM should be punished.
I mean, just admit that you don't want this hegemony to exist on the first place. Let people decide if they've enjoyed the dividends that have flowed from being the uncontested center of the world for a century.

I thought fire danger was primarily related to the weather conditions. Despite there being no forest management in many forests, they aren’t in danger of forest fire (e.g. because it’s too wet). Or you could have a managed forest that is bone dry, which still has enough fuel to go up in flames.

BitMEX have been accused of trading against their own, often leveraged, customers to manipulate prices unfavorably and liquidate them.
No, masterminding the illegal bombing of two countries (Loas and Cambodia during the Vietnam/American War) with horrendous long term outcomes for the civilian population and also plotting coups and unconditional support for brutal dictatorships that kill their own citizens with impunity makes you one.

I disagree with the "cryptocurrency casino" characterization. Do you think CME is operating a "USD casino" by offering cash-settled futures?
