Disagree entirely on Japanese translating the English wiki - that is too many steps and most people do not do that. Also within Japan, SEO and such always put Japanese content first (especially on google.) vs en.wikipedia.org.

The article is touching heavy on Japanese and if you do not have a basic fluency of the langauge, it's easy to jump to conclusion...

Alongside, same with the renaming of Nanjing - what if the government renames the incident and it becomes the status quo? What is the source of truth?

Machine translating one "wikipedia" is also wrong, because context is removed, and having English be the language of truth and all other languages translate from it - you'll miss out on many things, especially words that do not have a specific English translation.

The article is poorly written and documented.

They’re storing it somewhere, no? I feel like the benefit here is more so the browser file system doesn’t get bloated
I’d just like to go just far enough back to not be around for WW2 so I have to spend the least amount of time in the 21st century as possible. So I guess stick me in 1946.
Note: simple does not imply useful. Plenty of great content out there that strongly benefits from telling the browser not to use the extremely limited "web safe" fonts, or incredibly ugly OS defaults for non-latin content. Let along fonts for typesetting maths, or diagrams, or even smart things like "temporarily showing scribbles instead of real text, until everyone's clicked the "ready to share!" button on their shared page experience".

This is the nuclear option: it's simple, and also ensures a terrible experience of a web with content based on the fact that webfonts are going to work.
It’s pretty slick software, but I stopped using it once I realized how much it was spying on me:

New font looks fine to me. But might be because I don't read Twitter every day. Didn't even know if the new font was active until I checked the Chrome inspector.
even if they try scanning your stuff, if you don't connect it to the internet, it can't do anything other than its "one job".

The problem is that one man's hell is another man's paradise.

Gun-free America, strong covid public health policies, "hate speech", device surveillance, etc ... you name the slippery slope and you'll find at the bottom of the slope that it's hell for some people and paradise for others. Some people prefer highly authoritarian governments that manage (and minimize) life risk and others prefer hands off governments with self-managed risk.
Apparently there are problems with the font hinting which is why it looks bad on Windows. Folks are still figuring it out, but see e.g. https://twitter.com/mcclure111/status/1425892769550245888
i once messed up the disk ID and fucked my system by accidentally confusing the usb drive with a disk and since then I've just used etcher or other gui tools, simpler and safer.

also what I like about etcher in particular is that it always seems to correctly identify usb drives even if some other tool has messed up the partitioning. I'm not the kind of person who can remember all the cli commands.
Well, the good news is that the vast majority of those monitors and TVs need a WIFI connection, which is optional to set up. However, unfortunately, we're on the cusp of devices having their own permanent mobile phone network connection. Rozzie can confirm.
Microsoft Warns: Another Unpatched PrintNightmare Zero-Day
My company runs one of the top iPhone apps for creating & exporting stickers to WhatsApp (and iMessage, Telegram & others). When WhatsApp started accepting animated stickers, we implemented the Giphy API to allow users to get GIFs and export them as animated stickers to WhatsApp (yes, from one Facebook product to another). Giphy rejected our application and blocked our API access claiming that their API Terms of Service prohibited what we were doing, which they did not in fact appear to do (we had read the terms before going to the trouble of implementing). No point arguing as the terms do say that they reserve the right to deny or revoke access at any time (in line with the CMA's concerns). So we just switched to Google's Tenor and ironically that has worked fine. Perhaps I should be writing a letter to the CMA!

i wonder if it's possible to plug any kind of streaming replication onto this. i don't have much sqlite experience, but maybe someone here has an idea if it would be possible to run litestream or something of the sort, as both master and slave - in the browser.

that would solve the safari indexeddb 7 day ttl issue to start with.

and if replication could be made to work on top of something like webrtc we're looking at a great foundation to start building distributed, decentralized browser apps.

“already dropped it”

That doesn’t make it okay. Being taken into custody is something I’d consider an overreaction and frightening for a person to endure. They should’ve looked into it before moving to pick them up in the first place. If the shoe was on the other foot- an activist claiming a developer broke in to obtain info- I bet police would’ve done more research.
> I'm so astonished that we are so careful not to overthink, to the point we accept "you're overthinking it" as a valid excuse to disregard rare risks.

Very good point.

> But we don't have the same cultural concern against underthinking. I have never heard someone telling their employee or friend "you're underthinking this". Surely overthinking is bad, but when underthinking can be severely dangerous, it's easy to see why some people overthink.

I believe that it's largely a cultural thing.

For instance, in French companies, US Americans definitely have the reputation of underthinking things (which US employees feel is "being productive"). Reciprocally, in US companies, the French have a reputation for overthinking them (which French employees feel is "assessing risks").

One more reason for which balancing cultures (and backgrounds, etc) is actually really important for the future of a company: we all have different blind spots.
I used to believe this -- "too good to be true", then I played with the tech and realized the folk borrowing the money at a higher rate (of course) were earning 2x that via various defi contracts.

Most of the defi world is a scam, however, stablecoin<->stablecoin liquidity pools are handling millions of dollars and paying the liquidity providers handsomely at 0.1%.
It is then that you understand who exactly is making big money in this space :-)

I'm not saying there is no risk -- indeed, there is considerable risk and no FDIC insurance; BUT, the game is far more complex than looks on the surface.
So if I get it, he talks directly to SQLite through WASM because it's faster than IndexedDB.

Why keep IndexedDB in the loop then?
i don't think it's a GUI for "dd", at least it works way faster than "dd" for all the cards I've tried.
The process is:

Deposit ETH on AAVE (this is a DeFi DAPP)

Use this collateral to borrow USDT (~4% APY at current rates)

Trade that USDT for ETH.

If the peg breaks for USDT than I can get USDT for very cheap to pay back the loan and unlock my collateral.

If it doesn't break than I owe ~4% APY for the period that I shorted.

One of the really amazing things about DeFi is that it allows counter-party free financial operations.

Of course that ETH will be worth much less, but long term I am optimistic about ETH.
Betrayal
Why should they have to? The tradeoffs suggested are ridiculous and untenable, like "not having a phone" or "never using the Internet" which is incompatible with participating in modern society. Those behaviors don't inherently need to require abandoning all privacy, but they've been recently built to not allow any alternative.
If you make an open source project and support comes from your free time, etcher is a perfect tool. Take the 3DShacks community for example, the users just want to run homebrew for their bootleg games or to cheat in pokemon. They do not care about the intracies of formatting a disk or want to stand up a linux computer. Etcher is a one-button tool that just works and won't create additional work for the nice people volunteering their time as helpers in the community.

Unless you are a very rare person indeed, you presumably liked that your linux computer's OS had an installer to handle all the busywork for you, because installing the OS is not a project that interests you. Personally I am a big fan of compilers that prevent me from having to mess around in machine code. All of computing is abstracting and making things easier and I do not really get why Etcher in particular always attracts these 'i dont get it' comments when this exact microsm is the basis of our entire profession.

Well you believed that story.
Part of the problem is that presently walkable cities don't have walkable codes, so as they expand or even replace old buildings they become more car centric. They are only walkable because current buildings are from prior to the adoption of the code. The Illegal City of Somerville [0] brought popular attention to this a few years ago.

I don't know why you insist on putting scare quotes around the words "planning" and "codes." In municipal governments all across the country, people who went to school for "Urban Planning" and have the job title "Planner" work for the "Planning Department" and administer the "Planning Code." These the canonical, legal names.

Here is part of the post:
"...They better have a good plan for a pull off in a hurry of the current US Embassy. As soon as the wind changes it is pretty clear to what allegiance the current Afghan Army will go with..."

So much for the wisdom of the crowds.
Oh, I like this USPS analogy but I'll clean it up. Google photos and chat are like a USPS that only stores and transmits post cards. It's understood by the creator/sender that anyone who has access to them can read them. Apple here is a USPS that sends sealed envelopes. They (say they) can't read what's inside as it's sent or stored. With this change they will create the 'capability' to show up whenever you decide to send an envelope and read it before you seal it up for sending.

Meh, nevermind. That's not much cleaner.
“Anti-government” is absurdly vague. Not how this system works.
“Currently” isn’t the best word here, as there’s an implication that this will change.

I'm with you on a lot of your argument (there's a reason 3rd and 4th tier city real estate is inexpensive compared to big cities), but, sidebar:

What do you mean by a "bad" school?

As far as I can tell, most people mean one of three things:

- The test scores aren't as high as I'd like, or
- There are students who are more rowdy than I'd like
- I disagree with the syllabus

Plus a dollop of:

- My kid is profoundly gifted and the school doesn't offer challenging enough material

I empathize with this last one, at least, if that's what your situation is, but I know a lot of rich families that think their kid is profoundly gifted and actually they're just bog-standard moderately-gifted, which usually doesn't require nearly the same investment by the school as parents seem to think.

The other three barely matter for your kid's educational attainment. They seem much more about parents being super invested in having a certain social class for their kids peer group. If so, fair enough, but I don't think that's a "bad school" so much as "undesirable peer group".
A paper contract can easily change as well. Ultimately it just comes down to people telling the truth in court, supported by evidence. You'd be surprised how often legal disputes come down to this - but people tend to be honest about these things, because fraud is a tough line to cross, and fraud on the court is quite another.
How long until phones are so not controlled by their users any more, that it becomes a plausible defence to say “that wasn’t me, it must have been the <app or OS vendor> that caused my device to do it”?

Conversely, how might Apple implement non-repudiation of user actions? If they control the platform utterly, how can they prove that a user really did something?
You can play games to short it in DeFi which might break the peg on DeFi systems, however if anyone wants to try and arbitrage the difference (e.g. buy USDT at 0.50 USD, take it to Tether and redeem it for 1 USD) then Tether may just say "here take some of our Commerical Paper instead" or even "No you have broken our ToS".

First, you need to write an ipfs implementation that uses indexedb so that can handle the sync ...
I actually had a need for this at my last job - I first heard about this 2-3 years ago and we would have loved to have it. At the time I worked for a company building music studios, and we had at least one IOT device in every room. Commissioning a building meant writing somewhere around 20-50 micro SD cards, which was pretty boring and rather time-consuming.
I can see that, but that sense of the term (which is, I'm confident, the main one in use by a long shot) dates to, like, the aftermath of the JFK assassination and early Roswell-related groups, no? The term itself is older, but I mean the colloquial use of "ideas expressed by kooks and crackpots with excessively-complex and unlikely explanations for things, with an intense resistance to even clear evidence that they're wrong, and far too strong a prior that their unlikely idea is correct". IOW I think you lost that fight by the 70s, at the latest—it's been on people's "radar" since then.

Meanwhile, groups/people/movements that completely match that description are real and it's handy to have a term for that behavior, even if you think it's applied too broadly (and maybe it is). We've got the similarly-abused word "cult", but abuse aside it's still handy to have a way to refer to groups that actually do closely fit the colloquial, pejorative meaning of the term, and there's no way you're going to get people to stop using the word that way.
Wow I thought something felt weird when I looked at the screen then looked away. I'm not dyslexic or anything but looking at Twitter with that font almost makes my head hurt, not kidding.
It's not that thinking more is bad, it's just not always the best thing to be doing. You could also make a decision tentatively and revisit when more information is available. The costs of this could be much less than you fear or assume.

That's not our intention actually. Etcher, the open source app that EtcherPro is using, keeps evolving all the time, so we wanted EtcherPro to be able to keep up. Nevertheless, EtcherPro is hackable by design, so if you have concerns you can write your own software with any level of protection you want.

Where there is a slope, riders will come. The only way to prevent people from riding the slope is to never built the slope in the first place.
To be precise:

1. Just because there is Linux, doesn't mean everyone should jump on the Linux bandwagon and abandon all work on illumos, NT, QNX, Fuchsia etc. Focusing everyone on Linux would kill progress.

2. Just because there is x86 or RISC-V, doesn't mean noone should invent new architectures. Apple went with their own and that's what gives them their edge now.

3. Just because there is already Emacs, doesn't mean that all editors should be Emacs mods.

4. And back to compilers, just because LLVM already has optimizers, doesn't mean that other people shouldn't explore other designs for their backends. Especially that LLVM is really slow, and a major bottleneck for new compilers now (see Rust, Zig and Jai e.g.).

As in all things, it's important to seek out evidence elsewhere that it might exist. For example, the US is already significantly "behind" many other developed nations in terms of not just how much surveillance and censorship is tolerated, but also in other freedom-oriented areas like choice to own firearms, choice of whether to have medical insurance, etc.

So it shouldn't really be necessary to have any of these arguments based on speculated future scenarios when you can look to Canada, the UK, Australia, etc, and see that slight increases in surveillance, censorship, gun regulation, health care availability, etc might actually have some benefits and certainly don't necessarily put you in the instant quicksand toward fascism/communism/scary scenario X.
Surely supervision/surveillance of a person covers all their Internet usage too, right? Google Translate makes it sound like this will just bring massive scale and automation to the types of surveillance and re-education that are already in place:

“In accordance with the requirements of the State Council’s ‘Internet + Supervision’, Zhejiang has vigorously promoted the pilot work of a unified administrative law enforcement and supervision platform across the province. The platform includes dual-random administrative law enforcement, a list of law enforcement matters, supervisory account management, schedule supervision and inspection, special law enforcement inspection, grassroots four-platform linkage management, departmental collaborative management and other module functions. Through this system, it is possible to enter law enforcement information online, transfer law enforcement procedures online, supervise law enforcement activities online, push law enforcement decisions in real time, and publicize law enforcement information in a unified manner, so as to realize the entire process of administrative law enforcement. At the end of May this year, the platform launched a handheld law enforcement app on Zhezheng Ding. Law enforcement officers can log in to the handheld law enforcement system using Dingding accounts. The handheld law enforcement APP system has four functional modules: supervision and inspection, supervision object management, classified supervision, inquiry and work assistance, which can meet the requirements of various inspection methods such as incident verification, daily inspection, and random inspection in administrative law enforcement inspection. Summarize law enforcement data with complete functions.”
