Idk what you think is actually going to happen here though. This is a DoD program targeting global adversaries. I seriously doubt their policy is going to be finding misleading Facebook posts and issuing takedown requests. They're probably looking for major sources of disinformation campaigns to target for countermeasures. They really can't go after US citizens.
Like many others this feels bad to me. I was previously forced to upgrade to 7 so the Chrome extension worked and as a result purchased (again!) separate Windows and Mac desktop licenses. In trying to navigate the site to find out how to buy a desktop only client I encountered the multiple dark patterns to make this nearly impossible. It is no wonder that “97% of people prefer the subscription” since standalone was basically hidden. I love the product experience 1Password provides, I simply prefer managing my own vault (via Dropbox). Based on feedback here I’m going to evaluate Bitwarden. Sigh.
This is silly. When looking at the ratings for your doctor, do you look up the rating of the raters?

The point isn't that you have to trust everything. The point is that trust underpins everything. At some level, you are trusting something.
MS-DOSisms like the BIOS int 10h mode switch you mentioned in another comment are included, but so are things like (xterm) 256 color codes, TrueColor, and alternate screen switching, which IIRC were not a thing in ANSI.SYS. (The color thing I'm very sure because VGA text modes only supported 16 colors, the alternate screen mode is only a guess, it's very popular in unixy terminal emulators, but seems mostly useless for DOS.)

That's not the most valuable info at all.

What would be valuable is to know which ecosystem, languages and tech people are investing time and resources into. These are the ones you need to prioritize for your dev tools. For instance, Microsoft decided to invest in supporting Rust https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/dev-environment/rus... as well as making sure .NET works on all OS.

In my opinion, regulators have a too-big-to-fail problem here. Tether is known to be used for artificially inflating the crypto market in collusion with certain exchanges. There is a lot of documentation on this, the following two articles are a good start:

https://theodoregreenbaum.medium.com/the-crypto-time-bomb-is...

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-07-26/tether-ex...

If news suddenly come out about Tether being formally accused by the Department of Justice, the market may react in panic and things might get ugly. As an anecdote, I have a friend who told me she put a significant amount of her life savings into "etherium and carnado" (sic). There are millions of people like this who will get absolutely crushed.

I don't see a non-painful solution here. The regulators were too slow and have allowed a monster to be created.

You've misunderstood my comment. I'm not saying that we should prevent unintelligent people from voting, I'm saying we shouldn't actively seek out their input by compelling them to vote.

We know that poorly educated people are the least likely to vote, and we know that educational achievement correlates strongly with IQ--so by requiring voting, you will be significantly increasing the proportion of voters who are not intellectually capable of making an informed decision about how we can run a society.

You do not seek out the advice of the least intelligent people you know. Even if, out of a stubborn commitment to egalitarian ideals, you did ask for their advice, you'd be a fool to weight it equally with the people who you hold in high regard. So why the hell would we, as a society, choose to do so by compelling the vote?

Because then it's not fungible, which means by some definitions it's not money. An "old" dollar whose time is running out would have less value than a "new" dollar, making transactions suddenly very complicated.

20 year mark is key. Sign up when you're 18, do 20 years, you're now only 38 which is < 40.

I agree that moving to Electron is not a guarantee that an application will be slower than it is before.

The back door angle isn't hard to solve, just have the launchers manufacture 1,000 identical probes, then let the community randomly choose one to launch. The others can be checked for back doors. The launchers would have to balance the chance of getting caught against the chance of launching a clean probe, and the bigger the number the better the odds are on both sides.

But who would teach it? Who would write the text book? Who would design the curriculum? How would this be protected from the same abuses that an "anti-misinformation" project would be susceptible to?

How do we prevent it from just deepening existing divides?

The misinformation age worries me more than any other current threat because it compounds every other problem and I don't really see a solution. I think it's actually just getting started. (And yes of course propaganda is not new, but the scale, effectiveness, and saturation of it has increased observably in my own lifetime. As a species we are getting better at it.)

If someone convinces me this is solvable or not a real problem you'll genuinely make my day; I really want to be super wrong about this...
> the ConnectX-6 Dx network card

I would caution people against using the Mellanox/NVIDIA network interface cards in anything they care about. The driver license is proprietary and you have to build it for your kernel as a DKMS module in a semi manual process. Makes future system updates a real bother. I realize this probably doesn't apply so much to FB internally since they build and maintain their own distro in house.

Stuff that's just a couple of years old won't even build the driver for current debian bullseye. Have to run buster? No thanks.

As with so many other things NVIDIA the root cause of this is their absurd licensing approach to open source software and drivers for their hardware.
I might be wrong, but it seems to be a combination of visual studio code + container plugin + docker. So you would need to install visual studio code, few plugins and spin up a docker to replicate that environment on the local machine.
I don't want to poopoo on your point about you and your wife having "pretty modest incomes" at about 100k together.

However the median household income is only $68k a year[0]. That is 50% of households in the US earned less than 68k/year. You're actually in the top 30%[1] of US households if your income is about 100k together.

I also believe this. I think "imposter syndrome" has been associated with actual abilities not aligning with lower expectations, with the implication that if you match the description of someone with imposter syndrome, you're just overthinking things and will be just fine.

I cannot see how this logically follows in every circumstance that someone feels like an imposter. If you're expected to learn something by someone but don't learn it, because of motivation or other reasoning, but are then put in front of other people by your superior with the assumption that you have gained that knowledge in the meantime, you'd both feel like an imposter and actually be one.

My bias is to believe that if I don't feel that I'm qualified for something, then claiming that it will all be fine in the end is dishonest, and a fully realized version of the imposter syndrome with actual consequences for failure. The bias itself, as in most always feeling like an imposter no matter what your qualifications are, is what I would consider the intent of a concept like imposter syndrome. But it is still possible to go too far in the other direction and mistakenly believe you're simply worrying too much.

I feel that hiding behind a notion of imposter syndrome erases notions of personal responsibility when things actually go wrong, e.g. when one really is an imposter, or acted similarly without awareness or ill intent. The word "imposter" itself seems to imply that you must have ill intent to be a true imposter, which almost nobody actually is. "Unqualified" would probably be a more appropriate word, and would probably make people more hesistant to use this kind of terminology when discussing a lack of skills or confidence.

A war on "misinformation" is about as likely to succeed as a war on drugs. The negative effects of it are surely to be even worse. At least "what is a drug?" can be defined fairly easily.

A lot of this resonates with me, and in particular:

> but I don't consider them difficult (how could they be, if I am good at them)

I've struggled with this over the years. As a kid, once something clicked it felt like you had leveled up in some way, and now had a new skill. As an adult, I have a hard time not looking at everything I'm capable of and thinking "it's so simple, it obviously just works like this".

It's as if I have no spectrum of [I don't know this at all] and [I'm an expert at this], my self reflection that leads to impostor syndrome just sees them as [I don't know this at all] and [This is obvious].

> Users don't desire to have the same UI across different OS environments

Um, speak for yourself. I personally don't like having the docs showcase completely different UIs to the one I'm using. I also like having an app i can run on Linux, which has been happening a lot more since Electron became a thing (no sane company wants to write apps in GTK, and much as Qt is a great toolkit it requires expertise most SaaS vendors don't have).

You're speaking as if it's fait accompli that 1password made a mistake picking electron. It is not, and I am fairly certain they did not.

That doesn't make accessibility any less important. Consider: if one of your business customers is trying to fill a position that involves using your application, and one of the candidates is blind (or otherwise disabled), a reactive approach to accessibility means that they would likely have to pass over that candidate, even if that candidate is otherwise well qualified for the job. Or an existing employee may have an accident or illness that makes them disabled. So I don't think it's a good idea to ignore accessibility, let alone do something that is sure to make it much worse, until a customer reactively asks you to pay attention to it.

That said, providing accessibility is more of a business/application problem than a UI framework problem in my opinion.

I entirely agree with eropple's response to that. Also, our best hope of applications being more or less accessible is for the UI frameworks to automatically implement accessibility as much as they can.
> We wrote a one-off tool to go through our GCS buckets and delete all the files that didn’t have an entry in the manifest.

...

> Specifically, we had to ensure two things — every file removed from the manifest has an entry in BadgerDB, and no file locator that resides in BadgerDB is present in the manifest.

This feels a little weird to read, because I've been working with things which are moving in the exact opposite direction right now.

So we had Hadoop S3Guard[1] which kept track of deleted files in a bucket so that we would detect a delete + read race before S3 had strong consistency. And that's stored in Dynamodb, which is very much a KV store and it was somewhat of a nightmare to keep track of these things.

Moving onto Apache Iceberg which has roughly the same design discussed here (file based manifests + orphaned files for failed commits) and we're going there because storing data in a standalone metadata service is getting a bit old-tech (the Hive ACIDv2 keeps this info as number sequences, which is very postgres-like, but needs an FS listing to start off).

So bit by bit, we're moving from a KVStore to file-manifests to make systems more scalable. In that context, a problem like this exists very clearly in my future and I wonder if there's a better way to prevent it than going back to a kv-store model again (particularly when the manifests can fork into a tree thanks to data-sharing with snapshots).

yet books that compile publications from previous centuries are published and bought but evidently the ledgers are not debited or credited for the parties to these transactions. Basically if a method of value extraction has so much overhead that it has no economic value I would expect that method to disappear, thus when methods of value extraction are still in use I think that someone has managed to derive economic value from that method - perhaps a very paltry economic value in comparison to some of the companies we discuss here quite frequently - but still some value.
