"I 100% agree with this view. Its not practical to go cold turkey as people would freeze and starve."

Not sure if I was clear that my view is the opposite of what you are saying. I believe much fewer people would "freezer and starve" than expected because we suddenly would get very, very industries about finding alternative solutions. We would get through a short period that's super super tough but quickly would end up end par or better than our current circumstances. What's more, I believe that it's much easier to go through tough times collectively than individually. This is often true in war and natural disasters and night be true if we go cold turkey, as long as we do it together.

ooph. with web1.0, you were probably safe making the window fit 800x600, so you could know the max-width (before it existed), and manually do line breaks. otherwise, if the table cells wrapped the text, the illusion would break. the flow would totally suck for copying the text, but that's just a bonusjonus for the DRM crowd. hell, put each word as a new cell in the row, or using a monospace font (could you in web1.0?), and put each character in a cell. nobody would be foolish enough to copy that from your website. webscrapers be damned!
I was pretty happy with my old LG TV's smart apps, but it seemed to get more and more sluggish with each update, until finally it got annoying enough that I bought a Roku.

I don’t think we should go back to physical element based scarcity to measure wealth, the asteroids are full of it. What nothing else in the universe is full of is nonces for near hash collisions in SHA256. That’s as good or better than any other way to secure the ledger.
So, couple things.

First, it's optimistic to assume that data is accurate and up-to-date.

Second, I can't emphasize my "group consensus" point enough.

Anyone who's driven in real world winter conditions has seen a day where three lane roads turn into two. Or lanes form in the shoulder. It'd be actively dangerous to insist on driving according to the underlying lane markings during those types of road conditions.

Maybe in a world where all cars are autonomous and using map data that could work. In reality it really doesn't.
I think you misread my comment. I definitely prefer Discord over the others, but I still think it has a long way to go before it becomes a chat experience that's not insufferable to use.
> I have no idea how to do this for shorter work weeks at equal pay though.

It's going to be a very tall order. Even with WFH and demonstrable positive effects on productivity metrics almost across the board - there are still companies clinging to the old way of doing things and employers demanding return to office.

The most common response to a 4 day work week is going to be "no one else is doing so we can't afford to either - if anything we need you to work harder!" (may be familiar sentiment to some who advocated for WFH over the years).

Unfortunately, like you, I can't think of a scenario to force companies to wake up and realize that reducing hours can actually increase productivity. Similar to WFH, even when companies look at the data themselves, they decide against it.

Yes, of course, 'execs' don't manage anything on their own, but the OP is talking about 'email retention' in the context of litigation and discovery i.e. 'a copy' irrespective of label, which is a legal requirement.

Eric Schmidt is not deleting his emails after 72 hours for the reason you mentioned and certainly the company is not, which is the salient issue.

One could say 'oh that's just from his inbox' but that's pointless in the context of this conversation because we're talking about 'If the corporation has a copy or not' i.e. 'IT' etc..

Scmidt deleting maybe a local copy after 72 hours doesn't really have anything to do with anything other than his personal email habits.

I use both modes, but I see what you're saying. (More in a minute) but suffice to say, Amazon used to be good for discovery. It isn't now...

Still, I hear you – and I get your strategy for, say, athletic shoes or a new TV or maybe even a small electric appliance for the kitchen. But what about the space where there isn't a great set of discovery resources?

For example - I needed a desk lamp recently. I didn't have a lot to spend, but I thought $30-50 should be sufficient. There isn't dominant name brand in this space, AFAIK (sure, I could go to IKEA, I guess) – but it's also not a space to find many reviews on sites like wire cutter, or some gear mag, or specialized niche community on reddit, etc. etc.

So - I gambled on a well reviewed lamp on amazon... and it died within a few months - shorting and killing USB power supplies in minutes. So, I started over - and picked a different but equally arbitrary brand in about the same price range... and we'll see. But how do I research that sort of thing? I can't afford to go through these every few months...

Vacillating between understated and overstated lets you sell more product. A product I still buy, mind you, but I’m aware what’s going on.
Well, no mystery here: “Practice makes the master” is as true as ever. Just start coding, and keep doing it - until you wouldn’t think much of throwing away a 1000-line piece of code you just wrote simply because you came up with a better idea (and because you could write it again if you wanted to, in a few hours).
I think iPhones don't run directly off external power even when plugged in -- they charge the battery, and run from that. For evidence, note that if your battery is completely dead, you need to provide power for a few minutes to get it some baseline amount of charge before you can turn the phone on.

It feels plausible that a battery with bad peak voltage could still be unreliable even while being actively charged, so it'd make sense if the throttling remained.

> reinstated once proof of purchase and a valid TV license

So they will start disabling TV's for the government when the yearly TV licences expire next?

TV's drive economic growth and social welfare, they network communities quite effectively. Having TV license's in a country like South Africa is the definition of stupid.

Lucky they have the internet and Facebook to turn to now. Maybe that will help the 44% (Including the ones who have given up) unemployment rate - https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2021/8/24/south-africas-un...

> We work longer, not shorter. We work as a couple, not as a single breadwinner. We have less job security than ever. The combined stress of a life long quest and grind for economic relevance is the greatest source of human suffering remaining.

I feel like a part of the issue is a belief that competition is necessary for an economy to function. Some people say to themselves, "I need to work longer because I need to be competitive against other people doing the same work".

Moving from a competitive mindset to a cooperative one would help everyone. What's the point of being in competition if anybody loses? We all win when we help each other win. Why can't economics function from a starting assumption of cooperation instead of competition? How about instead people just do what they need to for its own intrinsic value instead of maximising income.

I find that there is a wealth in life that is not dependent on economics at all. Relationships with others and a relationship with myself. In my experience people are generous by nature, with their time, company and help.

Competition is completely unnecessary and is a choice that people choose to believe in. It is possible to work from a mindset of just helping others instead.

For me I don’t really care that much. I realised I earn far more than I spend and most of my spending is not essential anyway. I’ll take the pay cut and live a happier life rather than working every last bit of energy left and trying to recover with mindless consumerism on the weekend.

The problem is generally typical of online content as a whole given SEO gaming and commercialisation. DDG's bang searches and the ability to fluidly target searches to specific sites with less typing and fewer hops is a key differentiator.

The most relevant quality content tends to come from published rather than online sources, or by going direct to source.

The Web has been a mistake.

That said, Google's SERP page content, layout, tracking, and advertising all effectively drop relevance by a tremendous amount --- I've got to consciously filter out Google's own crap on top of the irrelevant web results returned.

DDG's cleaner presentation increases effective quality by a subjectively-assessed factor of 2--10.

Date-bounded search remains one of the very few reasons to favour GWS for a specific search, though even that is highly unreliable. Often what I want is a searchable archive from a given period, not a guestimate of a date-ranged search over the live Web.

Even in Google Books, date-ranged search results very often fail to return content from the requested period.
The Icemaker in my Frigidaire refrigerator has never worked since I bought the house, the problem is that the coils keep freezing over (the icemaker is in the refrigerator compartment so has its own freezer coil to make it cold)

I spent a weekend pulling it out, thawing everything out, and then replacing the defroster coil, thinking that would fix it. It didn't -- it worked for about a week afterwards until freezing over again.
I work as a programmer in a dying industry. Over the last several years we've cut hours instead of having layoffs. We are now down to a 3 day work week. Everyone left knows they should have left years ago but we are all curious to see how long the company can keep going.

Everybody knows how 5 day work weeks are. You get back to work Monday and it may take a little while to pick up where you left off Friday but surely by midday you are back in the groove.

Your two days off for the weekend seem like barely time to get your own stuff done.

When we went to 4 day weeks it was a great boon to my weekends. If I wanted I could take a day to completely goof off and unwind from my work week and still have two weekend days for my own projects.

Monday though took more effort to remember where I'd broken off on Thursday. It might take all day to get my mojo going especially if I had been working on something trick like hunting a difficult big.

At 3 day work weeks and 4 day weekends I've got more "me" days than "work" days. It no longer feels like work is the main thing I do and my personal projects have to be fitted in the cracks. Now my projects are the main things and work feels like the side project.

When I get in Monday I will have completely forgotten what I was working on Wednesday. I have to end Wednesday by writing a detailed note to my future Monday self explaining exactly what I was working on. If I don't write that note it might take until sometime mid Tuesday before I'm caught up to where I was last Wednesday and making progress.
Those are minor product quibbles.

> Blame the library, or its defaults.

Every JWT proponent says that, but it's a misuse that shows up in multiple libraries, in multiple languages, and isn't explicitly called out in the JWT Best Practices RFC at all.

I'm going to blame the standard for being error-prone.

There's nothing in any JWT RFC, to date, that calls out the need for cryptographic keys to be the raw key material in addition to its parameter choices, rather than just the raw key material. That's a fault of the standard.

That's not a single library's fault. That's the standard's fault.

PASETO has this to say: https://github.com/paseto-standard/paseto-spec/blob/master/d...

> As for the key ID attack, this sounds like it's just a trick to know where the private key is located? It shouldn't be publicly accessible.

This doesn't involve private keys at all. Look at the proof of concept code. https://github.com/firebase/php-jwt/files/6966712/php-jwt-po...

So just to clarify, you're thinking that traffic would increase because people would live outside SF and commute in? But don't people who live in SF need to get to work too? In that case, it seems like having giant highways carving up the city is going to make walking / biking to work harder which would cause more people to drive to work. That's what we see in "car-oriented" cities and it leads to an increase in traffic congestion that makes it miserable to drive, in addition to an environment that makes it miserable to do anything else but drive.

Wow. So the idea is that we want them to wear out more quickly so that they buy a new product that's more energy efficient? That strikes me as terribly wasteful. What about the impacts of a discarded appliance?
But that's the problem with JWTs, the whole "if you..." part. You want fewer of those rather than more in your crypto code, and JWT has too many. That's the whole problem.

It's sort of obviously true that when something makes it harder to make mistakes, it's safer. But there's only so much a tool can do. It's not hard to use if you understand asymmetric cryptography, but if you don't, it's asymptotic to impossible. The model itself is pretty hard.
I've been using an Ooni pizza oven (gas) weekly for almost a year, it's amazing! You do need to rotate the pizza a couple of times, but the oven reaches 800F in no time, and it's very portable too. Previously I tried a metal plate on a bbq, and a few other bbq implements (ceramic box), but the Ooni is by far the best.

Regarding recipes, Margarita is my go-to, more or less same sauce recipe, but I add a full ball of Burratta once out of the oven (too soft to even need to cook it).

I was also thinking about this, in the context of silent speech, trying to recognize phonemes directly from muscle activation on the throat. Instead of trying to pattern match an existing language, which is too complicatex/ambiguous, we should construct a language dedicated to that, that is easy to recognize from the EMG. Then we can have the software 'translate' the message.
There are plenty of reasons to do this, all of which have to do with, say, privacy, and Slack has managed their way into making it dramatically less annoying.

1) They send magic links. Pretty easy.

2) They make all known workspaces you've logged into before discoverable and allow for a one-click "add to desktop Slack" option, which makes dealing with the whole "different users" issue. And to the extent that I use different emails for different workspaces, Slack accommodates that and allows me to do so within the same desktop instance, so not really sure what the concern is there.
I don't think it's called out in the RFC because when you have a list of all the keys that are accepted, it makes it so the algorithm is effectively whitelisted.

For a long time Subaru held the unenviable position of being the most stolen car in the country that I live in. They started spraying microdots in the undercoat of their cars, which meant that every single part of the car was traceable.

Models from that point on were almost never stolen; earlier ones stayed at the top of the charts. Wrecker's yards were no longer prepared to take the risk of parting out stolen vehicles, and garages weren't prepared to use second-hand parts from stolen vehicles, when it could be traced easily, so criminals stopped stealing those model years.
> I have to exhaustively dismantle the entire Wikipedia article

Oh, far from that. Just point out one thing, maybe two, that has struck you as being off or wrong that's all.

> the section the user referenced doesn't contain a single external citation.

That's not how the document structure works. That introductory section makes some general remarks like the one that was quoted: "the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) is a conservative non-profit association that promotes medical disinformation, HIV/AIDS denialism, the abortion-breast cancer hypothesis, vaccine and autism connections, and homosexuality reducing life expectancy."

These claims are discussed in other sections below and those have citations.

For instance, let's pick the abortion-breast cancer hypothesis topic. There is a section about that:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physic...

That has some remarks with citations:

"In the fall 2007 Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons, Patrick Carroll hypothesized that abortion for women who have never previously given birth to a child is a risk factor that most predicts the likelihood of breast cancer. [19][20]"

[19] https://www.aapsonline.org/nod/newsofday471.php (A link into the AAPS website itself!)

[20] https://www.jpands.org/vol12no3/carroll.pdf

The article is just saying that the AAPS person wrote this and that, and here are the links.

A document doesn't have to have citations in its paragraph.

E.g. academic essay:

1. You tell them what you're gonna tell them.

2. Then you tell them (in more detail, with citations).

3. Then you tell them what you've told 'em.

It doesn't make sense to find fault with 1 or 3 for not having citations.

It's all dandy that the AAPS is made of doctors (appeal to authority). Well some doctors are idiots, and they are the ones who get the attention. Now, the article entirely negative; it provides no information about anything good having come from the AAPS or any of its members. It's just a laundry list of the controversies. So there is an obvious bias there; but the laundry list has external citations.

The number of members is large, and the organization has a long history. There is no reason to believe, from that article, that it's entirely defined just by the controversies.

You'd be a fool not to read the article with a critical mind, and just get the information from it, without forming some belief about the AAPS that may be distorted.

Still, it doesn't look good. It looks like they don't care about the controversies; they don't see that as a blemish to clean up.
