The Taliban rolled in within what... hours?

Governments that fall that quickly are so corrupt, so incompetent, and so bankrupt (morally, etc) that they are ghosts.

It strangley is like the failed startup I saw once that had a big angel investor. (Yes I'm aware of the white privilege / valley-centric self-absorption that sentence is lathered in, this is kind of a joke comparison): No real products or ability to sustain ourselves long term, even with consulting. The C-suite was basically bullshitting projected sales and products to the angle investor corporation.

Eventually the corp pulled the plug because of course the C-suite "marketing campaign to the corp overlord" fell apart.

The Karzais haven't been running a government, they've been running a marketing campaign for a government-like product to sell to the US Military so they can get rich as the C-suite salaries.

I guess that story is lacking the utter corruption of the C-suite running a cocaine/prostitution/bitcoin mining farm for self-enrichment on the side on the company dime which would actually be what the Karzais were doing. Well, and a poor populace of users we had been carpet bombing their weddings.

But once the funding is gone, poof the startup is gone the next day. The Afghan government absolutely seemed like that.

So the weird thing is all the puff stories trying to give sympathy to all these government people. Come on, they, like I, knew the whole thing was a bankrupt exercise in monetary extraction well before it died. They knew what was coming, and arguably, like I, was complicit in the uh, "monetary extraction".
I was looking for information on BBS culture also, but in my fuzzy memory of those times, the vast majority were very much a dark color scheme, black/dark background with light text. And there was a lot of customization going on as well, but I don't know if I can see BBSes as a place the link color came from. It's also probably one of the most obscured and overlooked part leading to the rise of the internet, I rarely see it mentioned in "history of" articles.

Few consumers will say "eh, modern tech is too expensive, I don't need the internet, phones, computers or cars anymore".

For most uses of tech, demand is there even if the price doubles.

> Fossil fuels 'were' good for 'the current human civilization, as it allowed to quickly develop technology at the cost of future' because we did not have any real alternative at the time.
This is a laughably biased article from my Swedish point-of-view. Really embarrassing from something like the BBC.

They established that this is caused by rent control by fails throughout the article to even mention that rent control was _of course_ accompanied by large scale involvement by the government in providing housing. That was however abolished in favour of market based construction.

This of course has made the price of housing - those you actually take a mortgage for - to sky rocket and building of rental apartments to crash. That end result is not surprising.

But this isn't that rent controls has failed per se, it's that the construction has moved to the marked with rent controls still in place. The best solution for the average Swede would be to have the government involved in building housing again, rather than to throw out the poor through market rents.
> Other countries follow France in building out nuclear power as a substitute

The problem is there is a ton of overlap between people who are really concerned about global warming, and people who have an irrational fear of nuclear power.
According to Japan's Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare [1] it's a "substance that reacts to magnets", which "could be metal". Unfortunately, metallic contaminants have been found in many vaccines, so this would not be an uncommon quality control issue. [2]

This could lend some credence to the "COVID vaccine magnet challenge" that went viral in conspiracy theory circles. [3]

> Once you have that, an H-Bomb is trivial by comparison. An H-Bomb is very simply just detonating a fission bomb with enough fusible material to trigger nuclear fusion.

That's a completely inaccurate way of characterizing the difficulty of developing the early fusion bombs. The Russians spent years developing a hydrogen bomb they knew wasn't very good [0] because of the difficulty involved in a more sophisticated design, like the one the parent poster mentioned. The design the parent poster mentioned took also took years to develop - Teller advocated for the idea of the hydrogen bomb during the war, but had the "critical idea" in 1951. The first bomb he built in 1952 was totally impractical as a weapon.

I don't think that is an unpopular opinion. On the contrary it's been the going one for quite a while. Deregulating letting was said to be part the solution when it was introduced. Now it is said to be part of the problem to have even more deregulation. A more unpopular opinion is that we actually shouldn't try to improve the situation.

The reality is that Stockholm geographically challenged. The major pieces of available land is the city airport and areas of parkland. The city airport has been given a lease until 2040. The areas of parkland is a national park.

The housing market is one the most important markets in Sweden. Anything that significantly lowers the value of real estate will be political suicide. Meaning that in the current market there can't be any solution that actually delivers affordable housing.

There is also little will from the voters to accept measure that would stabilize the market long terms like removing the mortgage interest deduction, introduce an actual real estate tax or regulating lending similar to other countries.

All this means that it's very unlikely that there will ever be even a relatively affordable market in Stockholm. Which will end up being disastrous when the cost of rent is also among the biggest single cost in the knowledge economy. For companies you can argue that the increase in housing cost will be offset by the larger available workforce but you can't say the same for public services.

Past or future deregulation isn't going to solve this. On the contrary it is what prevents a correction. The natural thing to do when something becomes too expensive is look for alternatives. In the housing market this means moving somewhere else. But as companies can attract those good or privileged enough to Stockholm anyways they don't have to move. So the average person doesn't have much of a choice but to move there themselves. Which in turn makes Stockholm even more attractive.

The paradox is that most any improvement of the Stockholm housing market will there make the situation worse long term. So the solution has to be not to cater for this market but to improve the market somewhere else instead. Unfortunately this also unlikely.
I didn’t say they people would be against the regulation. I said they would lose something they wanted, which is something people do basically whenever they spend money (they lose money, which is something they want, in exchange for goods or services that they want more).

Indeed, apologies for being terse. I suspect @nsxwolf understood that, though.
Whataboutism is not very effective to an audience trained to understand it. Perhaps try again.

The oil industry has spent much on misinformation and lobbying around their impact to climate. They are actively evil. From Standard Oil on, this industry has always been about enriching the few at the expense of everyone else. Big Oil is an active threat and everyone involved in its climate change denial needs to be removed from the energy industry.

Yup, really interesting. Chile's aren't native to India or Thailand either.

A high tax on the capital gains at sale could also work well here.

I'm also curious whether decoupling housing from investing could be useful in stabilizing prices.
I think you're just seeing the value of being the first click.
> The problem is those externalities have turned out to be pretty bad, and our economic systems have been slow to respond.

The problems are much more specific and blatant than that:

* The externalities were known to be bad by the oil companies and this knowledge was suppressed.

* Our economic system is incapable of responding because there is no direct fiscal cost of the externalities that would make alternatives cheaper at the point-of-purchase decision point.

* Fossil fuels being good at what they do is exactly why external regulation is needed to get us out of that unhealthy addiction.
You forgot to pluralize applicationS…
The "coercion" is cloaked with the "consent of the ruled". It's not actually the consent of the ruled, it is coercion wearing a disguise.

If a 10,000-strong anti-skub march happens in my town, but the nightly news doesn't mention it at all and instead airs man-on-the-street interviews with smiling middle-class people who all quite like skub, what just happened? Are the populace for or against skub? It doesn't really matter if any anti-skub organizations can be made to appear to be ineffectual or aberrant or insane or invisible.
Thank you. I'd somehow missed that development.

It's difficult to see how the other part (run centrally by NHS Digital based on the GP data) could go ahead without this part in place, so maybe they really did listen to reason and back down until they've got proper measures in place.

That would actually be quite reassuring in connection with today's announcement that we're discussing here. If those in government really have understood that there are some lines that shouldn't be crossed when it comes to privacy and personal data and they really are genuinely interested in getting rid of the excessive red tape that some of the EU rules do impose on anyone working with personal data, this might be a positive story after all.
The reality is everything is a Ponzi. Equities. Real Estate. Economies.

The thing that Bitcoiners have realized, that I think you may not have quite understood yet, is that there is no 'cash run out'. Brrrrr...

Cash is infinite. Bitcoin is not. That is part of its fundamental value proposition.

There is a heck of a lot of this that goes on within the energy and environment community where I have been involved for a decade. Tragedy of the Commons basically means that individual responsibility is a complete dead-end to solve any kind of shared resource issue. We've known this formally within economics for 200 years. Government, law and enforcement is the only solution, whether we're talking a city park or the entire planet's atmosphere. You should know that any time you are getting shamed or guilted into doing something like recycling, reducing energy consumption, cutting up plastic soda rings, instead of there being a law, some monied interest put a lot of effort into shifting the perception of responsibility away from themselves and onto someone else.

I am a staunch environmentalist and I full out reject any effort to make any of this somehow my personal fault and that I should guiltily stop having children, stop traveling, stop eating, stop driving or anything else. We are either all in this together, collectively solving the problem through our collectively determined governments or we're not.

More and more I think we are not going to solve this in a way that doesn't involve a massive diminishing of planetary carrying capacity. Currently we are bailing out the Titanic with a thimble.
Well that was true once. But people have higher standards for search engines now that they don't want to go through every result by hand, and therefore the main thing they're after is the ranking algorithm not the search algorithm.
I'm always surprised the source code doesn't accidentally leak out when this sort of C&D occurs
It's true. It was a plausible idea that certainly MIGHT have worked, but whatever form of the idea GameTap went with clearly didn't catch fire.

Here's a fun technical secret about GameTap. Several of the companies that we bought licenses from barely knew they owned the games and definitely didn't have any original binaries or source, and for the obscure consoles/titles, we sometimes could only find cracked versions online. Those would usually have crack intros (it was the birth of the demoscene!), though, and we clearly didn't want to use them. Ultimately we cheated. We just launched the game by loading a save state just past the crack intro.
The climate crisis is too big to solve as an individual. Even if a million of us immediately stopped driving cars, and lived in a carbon-neutral commune nothing would change, in terms of the overall climate picture.

The only way to solve this is to build new infrastructure that removes the need for carbon emissions, while also stopping oil extraction at an increasingly rapid pace. Anything else is a distraction, and that includes asking people to "help" by driving less.

If you want people to make good choices, those good choices need to be made possible, effective, and meaningful. This is what our politicians have been avoiding.

Here in Toronto, our local federal MP once posted on Twitter that he fights climate change by shopping at a local produce market. Not only was this absolutely not stopping climate change in any meaningful way at all, it reflects the absolute inability of the vast majority of politicians to communicate that they understand the severity of the situation, much less do anything meaningful about it.

It's because the FBI doesn't have any leverage to threaten palantir for passing the blame. "Government agency is incompetent" is a very potent narrative that blocks the usual expectation that cloud products should be difficult to use insecurely.

Complaining publicly has no downsides for palantir here.
I recently joined r/afghanistan to get better real time updates on the situation there. I'm not the only one; the forum has basically doubled in size in the past week. Turns out the mods are conservative-leaning think tanks like the Westminster Institute and Hoover Institute. They self-promote their own content by pinning it to the top of the page, and censor criticism of their orgs.

I don't see why Reddit tolerates this behavior on what should be a neutral forum.
So this is more than an entire year of revenue for Bing. How is it not anti-competitive that the dominant player spends an unattainable amount of money to keep their next biggest competitor out of the market?
That's because DuckDuckGo is essentially a reskin of Bing search. They don't do their own indexing save for a few token websites.
It's cheaper for them to just flare the gas. The only thing that has made economic sense, as an alternative to flaring it, is to mine Bitcoin. I understand the energy criticism, but flare gas is an example where Bitcoin mining actually makes something less polluting.
Because they are creating negative externalities that are not priced.
Meanwhile the spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate has 360K followers on Twitter.
I mean, shouldn’t the bugs be kept closer to what they’re concerned with? Why not JIRA, Azure DevOps, GitHub Issues, etc.? I assume the code repo has some supplementary bug tracking feature.

Their “swears by it” just sounds like laziness or perhaps a poor UX in the existing tool. Either way, working in an Excel just sounds like unnecessary decoupling and a higher barrier to work with.

But also, it could just be a garbage PM. I’ve met tons of product folk that are in it just for the money and can’t ACTUALLY manage a team or product.
Well unlike you sir, I am using paper straws so I am saving the world!

Only if people stopped using plastic straws we would reduce the plastic in the ocean by 0.2%
This makes sense in an economics-textbook kind of way; but systematically excluding low- and middle-income people from a given city would not turn out well in reality, I think.

All cities need janitors, teachers, baristas, grocery clerks, garbage collectors, etc. in order to function, and those people have to live somewhere at least within a reasonable commuting distance to the city. You can't have all the garbage collectors move out to Bakersfield and have San Francisco _just_ be a citadel of software engineers, unless the software engineers haul their own garbage, or the garbage collectors in SF also get paid $100k+ per year.
Never Too Small to Exist with NoCode Platforms
Is this true? Apple Maps came out with a feature a couple years ago where it knows which intersections are stop lights v.s. stop signs v.s. uncontrolled side streets. Rather than saying “in 1000 feet turn left”, they say “at the light, turn left”. As opposed to “go past this light, then turn left,” or “at the stop sign, turn left. Then, turn right onto <street name>.” If you glance at the screen while this is happening, the upcoming intersections helpfully have the appropriate stoplight/stopsign/etc graphic on them. They’ve found a way to communicate instructions such that you never have to worry about lane positioning, or not being ready for the next turn.

Mind you, I juggle between Apple Maps and Google Maps on an iphone, so maybe Google’s features are different on Android. But this was the feature that finally got me using Apple Maps by default, and last I checked Google still hasn’t implemented anything comparable on Apple.
Upvoted.

That said, I do feel you miss the genius of the iDog proposal. As far as I understand, an officer might sometimes be able to use his dog's nose if it happens during a procedure (which might include the dog searching if there's a warrant), but he can't create the circumstances deliberately. 'I was doing something proper and then the dog started jumping' might be admissible, but if an officer started walking the dog around hoping to catch people opinion might be different.

We suggest regularly scanning every household in the nation in a deliberate process. I was just proofreading five different papers proving the system is perfect if we can trust the dogs (of course we can, only monsters and terrorists don't trust dogs).
I don't compile my own software against glibc and run it in Alpine. As mentioned previously, this package was created ~ 6 years ago to run software compiled against glibc (that didn't have the source code available) in Alpine Linux. I don't recommend that anyone uses it over the equivalent Alpine package or compiling your software against musl-c.
What you are proposing is an authoritarian regime that can control what software is permitted to be run.

This is madness, and will doom humanity. There is a reason that free speech is such a critical component of free societies.
There have been times and places where slavery had majority consent, even considering the opinions of the slaves. In all of those cases, I would say that the slavery was still coercive. So yes, you can have the consent of at least the majority of the ruled and still be coercive. Almost nothing wins the consent of everyone, so almost any rule is coercive to someone.
Same here, considering that there were lots of prior art for white text on black background.

> The answer to the headline could have been made in one sentence and there would have been no loss of value.

That sentence would be "I have literally no idea, it seems completely arbitrary." There really isn't any value worth preserving, it's just misinformed commentary on a bunch of screenshots taken while the author was probably in diapers.
As far as transmitting, it's not really practical. Receiving, yes. What I normally do is look for signals using my SDR, and when I want to make a contact, use my FT991A. Even though the 991 has a SDR in it, the dedicated ones have a much wider bandwidth, and the better display and UI of a computer make things a lot easier.
Something I've noticed as well. Might be related to geographic diversification, or that "[App] for [Emerging Market]" better answers the "Why now?" question.
Gold, art, sneakers, comics— yes, those are comparable to BTC. Land is not, as land investments are usually based on future cash flows, which BTC doesnt have.
> I really hope that the rent-controls are abolished in my lifetime

Well, of course you want that if you have a large salary and can pay the rents other people can't. Why not support government lead building of housing according to need instead of just throwing out the poor as a "solution"?
> I've also heard that Turkish authorities are quite amenable to bribes as well.

If the dude is banking on this, the major issue is that the Turkish authorities may be quite amenable to bribes from anyone indeed. Subsequently, my wager is that both TMobile and many among the 50M whose details were stolen have far deeper pockets than hacker exhibit A.

In other words, the dude must be absolutely certain that government corruption can only go well for him. In the US, he'd "only" go to prison if the system wants to make an example out of him. In a place where anyone can be bribed to do anything, the sky is the limit.
That page is intentionally misleading. They list crawled websites as 'sources'.

If DuckDuckGo claims to have over hundreds sources, then Bing and Google have over billions of sources by the same definition.
I want to be like Baudrillard and say "The Afghanistan War Never Happened", not because it didn't, but because it didn't matter.

It didn't matter like the Vietnam war because there was no draft and far fewer people were involved -- not enough to spark widespread dissent or movement for change.

It didn't matter because it didn't make any difference as to whether or not we were the victims of terrorist attacks.

It didn't matter because it didn't make a durable change in the politics of Afghanistan.
