Neither the left or the right tries to be liberal as Milton intended, they both are not and unfortunately real classical liberals are long gone in politics. Milton and Hayek warned us about the government power grab that we’re seeing more and more today around the world.
Superficially, this is not a bill of attainder. This is a donation seemingly administered by the donating entity themselves. Is it really all that different from how the US government encourages private entities to contribute to cultural life (the Smithsonian institution being funded privately for much of its budget, plenty of landmarks of significant cultural importance being in private hands but still shared with the public, the way Olympic sports are administered, Gates/Rockefeller/etc philanthropy). Maybe you are implying there was some strong arming behind the scene, which would indeed be despicable? But on the surface, this seems great.

> the primary purpose of a public library is not to preserve materials, it's to provide access to them

I worked in public libraries for years and almost nobody understands or believes how true this is.

The main metric that libraries (the ones that I worked in) are assessed by, by the city council members who determine their funding, is "circulation" which is how many materials are loaned out to the public.

We have fixed finite stack space and we get rid of as many books as we acquire each year.

As a result, its in the libraries interest to buy way too many copies of all the latest best sellers and popular new releases, so that there will be plenty of copies available to borrowers right while the interest in them is high. Almost all of those will be weeded out less than a year later when demand drops off.

The circulation numbers are so skewed that maintaining a comprehensive back catalogue is a sort of vanity project, not an imperative.
> a lot of Ruby programmers really only know Ruby to the degree they know Rails

This so bad that frequently I see “Ruby on Rails” in lists of programming languages aside “PHP”, or “Elixir”, or “JavaScript”.

(When I was most in to Ruby – but not so much Rails, even then – there was actually a palpable divide in the community between the Rails-only community and the broader Ruby community, some of which was Rails-inclusive.)
It's quite clear you didn't understand my comment.
It depends on your perspective. If you experience time as a spacelike dimension, you can look at this part of spacetime and be amazed at the rich tapestries we, the weirdos who perceive time as timelike, weave with our lives.
You could make a similar argument against any 'day'; birthdays included. I don't think anyone thinks it's 'interesting' or has any sort of actual connection with pi. It's just a silly day to.. 'celebrate' pi, like any other day for anything else.

>As we know, with exponential curves, they start slow and they get very fast at some point. But when is that point? The question is, where does that kink in the curve happen?

There is no kink in an exponential curve, if you think there is, obviously you don't understand exponentials.

In the real world, there are S curves, when the finite limits interact and overpower the exponential... those are the ones that determine who makes large amounts of money, and who doesn't. You need to time your ride along the curve such that your organization is firmly on top at that time, the use the resources gained to maintain a monopoly, and thus real profit.

(The one thing Econ 101 firmly implanted in my brain is that the only way to make sustainable profits in a free market is to build and defend a monopoly, otherwise you're always struggling to keep up with competitors)

Otherwise the only other thing I learned is that there is an organization of venture capitalists called NfX who have some strange ideas to peddle, and sounds like a cult.
In many jurisdictions, a police officer is allowed to search your apartment under special, urgent circumstances. I'm sure you can think of cases where immediately issued warrants make sense, whether its for apartments or documents.
It's more disappointing to think that, for example, the Whole of Europe (regardless if you're sitting in London, Amsterdam, or Moscow) has figured that if you're providing a free over-the-air service it's a good bother to set up an IP version of the thing you're broadcasting.

Moreover, the UK has a FreeSat service so for a one-time payment, you can watch television live even in areas where their already-excellent FreeView service doesn't cover (or you want HD versions of some channels because having a license to broadcast (BBC, ITV plc and STV plc, Channel 4 Television Corporation, S4C Authority, Channel 5 Ltd., and others) and the operations of broadcasting (Arqiva) are totally separate). But maybe there's actually an indirect recurring fee in the form of TV licenses, so at the same time I dunno.
If svn covers 99% of your use cases, then you need more experience with distributed version control systems.

Able to commit locally, examine changes work with them and then push is a something you might not need or require if you think about version system like SVN.

But if you have learned Git or Mercurial or some other distributed system you would never go back to svn.

This makes it seem that Affinity is the prosecuting party, but it's actually just Spring being overly zealous. In fact, Spring are doing more enforcement than the supposed trademark-owning entity itself.

I can see protecting a readily-identifiable brand such as "Alpha Epsilon Pi" or "Phi Kappa Beta" in the context of how the apparel is being promoted, but to overly protect partial components in any context is basically lazy, overzealous enforcement.
I wonder if ACS has sent them notices over single greek letters or if Spring got a lot for multi-letter strings (probably actually referencing fraternities/sororities) and decided to blanket block greek letter stuff to avoid the hassle.
Racers pedal at around 90rpm, commuters pedal around 60rpm. Small generators are not efficient until 5000rpm or so, so this will need a two or three stage planetary gear to increase the rpm by about 100x. Each stage loses around 3%, so that's at least 6% gone before we even get to the electrical losses. I think this system will end up only being 80-85% efficient pedals to wheel.

On a manual bike you really notice a 5% efficiency change, like after you clean and oil your chain. On a electric bike I doubt you would notice.
Any chance you could be more specific?

It looks like most of the internet has decided that qemu is too scary to use directly and therefore folks tend to use libvirt and various helper utilities. I keep trying them and find them unpleasant and insufficiently useful. So I use systemd units for autostart (as described in the Arch Linux wiki page) and call qemu from there. I often use bridged networking and often pass through PCIe devices (typically GPUs, NVMe disks, and NICs).
I prefer wired headphones too, especially in crowded trains (European) where everyone competes for a slice of wireless bandwidth. I'm expecting some wireless congestion sooner or later ;-) At home wireless is useful sometimes, e.g. when I need to move around while listening during a video conference.

The systems you're referring to are radar based systems. Tesla stopped putting radar in the Model 3/Y in favor of it's vision system.

It would be interesting to see a breakdown of the 12 incidents and the Tesla Models involved. Were the incidents involving radar/vision blended, or vision only vehicles or both?

If the incidents only involved older vehicles that were radar equipped, that would be good PR for the vision only system. If the incidents were in vision only systems, it would be bad. I suspect it'll probably be a little of both.

This makes a lot of sense because, as I said in another comment this this article, bareknuckle completely changes the gameplan. The hand is very easy to break and the gloves do a great job at protecting them. When you don't have gloves you can't just go throwing haymakers since it's very likely you're going break your hands doing it. Heck, even "defending with your forehead" becomes a viable strategy against a gloveless opponent. I bet in these scenarios the fighters get exposed to much weaker shots in average. The goal here is to land that one precise punch right in the off switch.
Fair quibble, though going from just under 1% to just over 3.5% of the UK makes very little difference to my core argument here, as this was an illustration of “we don’t need to tile Algeria with PV”. :)

Yes the magazine feature "Notify me" is awesome as I can get reminders when new issues of my The Economist, New Yorker and Nat Geo magazines are available to borrow.

Another tip: Some libraries such as LA and Berkeley even have NYTimes pass that you can use to read NYT online for a few days. Once the pass expires, you can just use same link to get another pass (usually the pass lasts for 24 to 72 hours).

> This is Spring’s “erring on the side of caution” trademark enforcement mechanism

Is it? Or is it a mechanism of preemptive enforcement put in place in response to past action by ACS or some generally applicable legal rule requiring preemptive presumptive enforcement of known trademarks on platforms, hence the reference to Spring’s “legal obligations to protect the assets of Affinity Client Services” in the letter from legal?

> So according to your own post above, 93331 opioid deaths in 2020 in the US alone qualifies as "doing OK" then?

No. But humanity all things considered is doing fine with drugs available outside a hospital, which was the statement I was replying to. I never made anything like a statement that "people dying is fine."
The problems you've described are very minor relative to how much more difficult dissent and whistle-blowing become if your statements can be connected to your true identity basically everywhere.

"Better Amazon reviews" and "fewer Reddit shills" aren't worth much.

If you are interested in speed you might get more from Cython (not to mistake it with CPython) or mypyc. The catch is that you need to specify types (in Cython you otherwise won't get speed gain, and mypyc will refuse to compile).

> I'm always surprised that more people don't just use antennas.

Even with suitable antennas, the broadcasting power of the transmitters has been significantly decreased, so in some cases you really are in an unlucky spot where the transmission isn't fully good. Moreover (specifically in the US), ATSC (before the recent 3.0 standard anyway) doesn't use OFDM, so when there's a weak signal it's a lot harder to lock on it.
I've been using rootless podman containers for several years, but I've stopped using them recently. I read this security note on the Arch wiki [1]:

> Warning: Rootless Podman relies on the unprivileged user namespace usage (CONFIG_USER_NS_UNPRIVILEGED) which has some serious security implications, see Security#Sandboxing [2] applications for details.

Accordingly, I've since set sysctl `kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone` to `0` on my system which disables rootless containers, but is now supposedly safer.

The dialog on this is a bit controversial, it seems rootless podman is pardoxically both more secure and less secure at the same time. Rootless podman doesn't have root access, but with user namespaces turned on, podman has access to kernel apis that have not been rigorously tested for non-root users. Someone explained this on Security SO a bit more in depth [3]:

> The reason for this is that much of the kernel that is only intended to be reachable by UID 0 is not audited particularly well, given that the code is typically considered to be trusted. That is, a bug that requires a UID of 0 is rarely considered a serious bug. Unfortunately, unprivileged user namespaces make it possible for unprivileged users to access this very same code and exploit security bugs.

To be fair, that’s a frequent complaint from the US Right, too.
Your is the best answer up till now. So let me respond.

1. I think you misunderstand me. I am not interested in distillations and commentaries. I am interested in building upon the works of past philosophers, improving their weak arguments, supplying better arguments that they missed out on, finding better examples than what they used, and finally going past what the said, and saying even more. The replacement of Nietzsche's books should be books that say somewhat similar things, but which are better arguments than Nietzsche. This must be possible for any intellectual discipline, because any such discipline by definition must create transferable knowledge and skills. And if you are not, the problem cannot be with the character of your intellectual discipline, but with the social structure and practices of your discipline.

2. To follow upon point 1, and to answer your points 2, take the example of GR again. What Einstein wrote is simpler and probably easier to understand than good modern graduate textbooks on the subject - the latter have far more sophisticated arguments, and they go explore the area far more than Einstein ever did. Because of course, physicists and mathematicians kept building and improving.

Similarly, what I expect is that philosophers should constantly be making better and more sophisticated arguments, that require more and more skill and acumen to understand. But a beginner starts with very carefully constructed arguments that easy to understand, yet astounding, and as her skills increases, she is given more and more difficult arguments to grapple with. this is how things happen in other intellectual disciplines by design. But not in philosophy, and I truly don't understand why.
There's another option for users who don't need Google Play Services or microG for notifications, etc., but still want to use Wi-Fi and cell tower trilateration to speed up the process of getting location readings. DivestOS includes only the location module (UnifiedNlp) of microG and nothing else:

https://divestos.org

This lets you choose non-Google network location providers (which can even be fully offline), and would be a good choice if you don't need the parts of microG that communicate with Google's servers.

Having said that, if you're already on an OS with microG pre-installed (such as CalyxOS), you can also keep the parts of microG that communicate with Google's servers disabled to achieve the same effect.

I would be intrigued to see someone try to create a modern dynamically-typed language or interpreter written from the beginning to be threadable

The JVM being a very dynamic system is a good target for new dynamically typed languages. But as you said, they are a hard sell today not only because of performance but more because of static typing.

It is even worse than this, btw, as the markets are disjoint: there are two places to buy shoes, but virtually all customers shop at either one store or the other store (for practical reasons of cost and convenience that are similar to those seen with someone having to buy things from a store in a different physical region of the country than where they chose to live), making each store separately a monopoly over its relevant market.

Exactly this. At some point I stopped being a nightly charger for all my Apple devices and find more convenient times to charge.
