> A bakery can’t reject an order because it’s for a religious ceremony due to the religion associated with that ceremony.

Are you sure about that? Like, a cake depicting human sacrifice to Satan, and your random baker couldn't say "uhm, no, I don't do those"?
This assumes you can pass all the things you want, which empirically hasn’t worked out so well. Riling people up to demand 1 policy is different than getting 5-6 policies that have to all work together the right way to achieve your change.

In practical terms, a suburb HAS to be build with new infra — nobody will move into a community without roads and plumbing.

Conversely, it’s pretty easy to clear legal obstacles to various developments. You don’t have to spend, plan, organize anything to achieve that. But adding lanes, adding terminals, fixing roads, upgrading transit systems, connecting deeply-struggling with services that exist for them… all these things take human effort and non-trivial resources.

If we don’t have a political climate where you can pass your comprehensive raft of urban reform (each of which will have a variety of entrenched interests fighting back), passing JUST housing reform to open the floodgates to developers seems like far less of an obviously-good idea. It seems like it will make things net worse.
That doesn't work at all except in the reverse in this particular case, but you do you.

Or that it uploads local copies to be scanned in the cloud and doesn't save them to your account but may trigger LE response... Though I suppose that would cause concern about the massive network traffic, whereas no one would notice Apple scanning local photos (w/o some sort of advanced disassembly to see how much the on-board ML chip is used)

Typography has everything to do with the web. Web design is 90% typography (cite below). Typography is not about perfectly or reverently setting text in immutable ways (viz your “PDF” comment). Typography is about encouraging and aiding readability, and allowing a piece of writing to have a subtextual voice. See, for example, the posts about Arctic Adventure (https://www.arctic81.com/). The typography on that site is harder to read than I’d like, but does absolutely put you in the time and place that the author wants.

Jeffrey Zeldman said (in 2015):

“Mobile is today’s first screen. So design responsively, focusing on content and structure first. Websites and apps alike should remove distractions and let people interact as directly as possible with content. 90 percent of design is typography. And the other 90 percent is whitespace.”

(Zeldman knows his shit. He was one of the most influential designers and standards-setters for the early web, e.g., founder of the Web Standards Project, which was instrumental in helping us escape the minefield of browser-specific customizations in the late 90s).

Most of the principles of good typography apply anywhere that type can be used, from books to billboards to websites to mobile games. Typography as a discipline is thousands of years old, and based in the fundamentals of human perception. We know how humans read. Typography is the practically application of that knowledge.

There was a brief period where coolness and aesthetic appeal on the web trumped good typography principles (e.g., again, the Arctic Adventure site). Most of that has settled down, though, and most sites have reverted to simple and common standards.

This particular steel is made to be 100% CO2 neutral (as is all hydrogen in Sweden). Very much most likely made from hydro power (accounts for about 40% of power generation in Sweden - and the owner of most hydro in Sweden, "Waterfall", which is state owned, is a partner in the project) of from wind. Both energy sources is very common in the north of Sweden.
> What is equitism?
> An economic system in which citizens have a stake in the city’s land – as the city does better, the residents do better.

I think they’ve got half of this right: the city should own most of the land for the purpose of coordination. But I didn’t see anything indicating that citizens have any stake in the city’s land. Did they mean it literally? Like a requirement of citizenship is to purchase a share in the underlying land? Probably not.

Anyway, I like that they’re exploring that half, at least. But the amount they couch on the details isn’t encouraging to me. Especially in the governance section, they didn’t say anything about citizens actually having any voting power — only “input” into city council discussions, which usually means you’re free to say things but you’ll just be ignored. If this whole thing revolves around some benevolent dictatorship then that’s nothing I want to be a part of.

How is it relevant in this industry though? There are several hosting providers and name registrars that wouldn't care or are incorporated out-of-country, even some specifically owned and operated by conservatives. They violated the Godaddy TOS (which prohibits users from providing data about another person without their explicit, written consent) and are now being punished for it.

I remember packing jpegs with sub7 payloads and sending to my friends on AIM. The opening and closing on the CD tray is such a classic prank. Best part was that given I was usually the guy my friends and their parents called to fix their computer trouble, I was getting IMs from all of them saying “my cd tray keeps opening and closing”. The reveal of the prank was great except for when I must have done it for like 3 hours while my friend’s mom was using the family computer. She wasn’t very happy with me.
TIL that free speech is when you larp as a monarch and ban everyone who doesn't worship you.
Your suggested analysis is a bit superficial. Many similarities to the decline of the Roman empire certainly can be aligned with the American empire; many cannot. I would suggest the mood of alignment exists, instead of specifics. Your "Trump-Julius" alignment is too contrived. Panem et circenses would be better aligned with food stamps and gaming/films/parties/recreational drug use. Our cultural norms are closely aligned with the decline of the Roman empire; but the alignment of the current form of our government is too dissimilar.

The founders of the United States were classically-educated students of Roman history and its decline; additionally, Gibbon had just been published. To that end, much of our constitution was fashioned to make it exceedingly difficult for a dictator to arise spontaneously. But even Jefferson and Madison recognized the potential for a slow, but steady, erosion of the constitutional protections to produce one--especially if originating in the general populace. They were obsessed with the "potential dictator." (read the Federalist Papers)

All republics eventually collapse into something else: oligarchy, dictatorship, or dissolve completely into fractured smaller groups. In that sense, yes: we are doomed. Our decline has already begun. But the similarities to Rome's decline are more general, more cultural, and less specific. The books by Kyle Harper and Peter Turchin also provide additional aspects of our potential collapse that align with Rome.

I doubt very much that anything can alter our decline. Your suggestion that the blue and white collar "come together" is simply wishful thinking. We've seen what populist movements produce and it is not auspicious.

Rather than lecture you, I suggest you read (thoroughly) Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (you're going to have to really pay attention: Gibbon is not for those who do not know how to read) and The Federalist Papers. Those two will give you a better understanding of the contrast between the United States and the Roman empire. You should also consult Harper and Turchin for further insights.
You can mount hostfs which I guess is the same thing
With regard to certain egalitarian principles, yes.

Silence is violence when there's a concerted effort to normalize unjustified hierarchy through cultural peer pressure. Whether it's 'let's all make rape jokes, also rapists aren't actually bad', or 'let's put up statues of slavers waaaaay after the war they were in, because slavers aren't actually bad', part of the purpose of such social pressure is to stifle anybody who's inclined to object.

The intensity with which people demand their right to performatively line up with bad things they claim they are not, right then, themselves, actually doing, tells me something about those people. I'm deeply not interested in exploring hypotheticals through which people might claim they want to dress up as a Nazi without actually being one, and deeply not impressed with the argument, "You're cruelly trying to punish me for BEING a Nazi, but I am only DRESSED as one, so you're morally obligated to be silent and let me do my own thing!"

In 2020 there was a us wave in jul/august. This was strongest in the south. In 2021 there is also a july/august wave, strongest in the south. It is more present in the north than last year’s wave, but not at its biggest there. My prediction is the north will see a bigger wave later in the year as people head inside.

You can’t exclude variants either. Alpha was more contagious and got around the world by May, so that trumps seasonality. The May wave also began march/april and peaked later. But for any given variant it would be extremely unusual to see highest activity in summer not winter.

This is how it has to be implemented in EU countries, so in general it appears to be (in Ireland, at least) the statutory 20 days + whatever.

I think the distinction is that the 'cake maker' could not be compelled to use is 'artistical craft' for purposes he didn't want to.

i.e. if it was an off-the-shelf cake, there would have been legal problems.

But a 'song writer' I think can't be compelled to write a song in such circumstances.

It's a little bit of a digression though:

For networking - most people agree in total neutrality i.e. AT&T cannot inspect our packets for 'bad words'.

On the other end, for Social Networks, we mostly agree they should probably have the right to moderate on some level according to their own rules. Perhaps we could require some consistency and objectivity or something, but generally speaking, I think we can live with Section 230 there.

The 'big issue' in IT I think has to do with hosting, which is a service one might deem should be 'neutral' - at the same time, companies may not want to host certain content and may be able to demonstrate 'harm' by doing so.

Like Amazon dumping Parler as the threshold / test case, along with this GoDaddy example - which is complicated because on one hand it's 'expression' on the other, there were some very serious and probably illegal things going on there.

In tech, we tend to focus on these social issues, but imagine if 'Brick and Mortar' business started doing this? i.e. UPS refusing to deliver packages? Or the 'Paper Company' refusing to sell inkject cartridges?

For commonly available things, like groceries, probably we can allow discrimination, because after all, someone can just go down the street to the next one, but for products and services which are unique, it really poses a problem.

However much we might not like some groups, we have to be really careful about banning things.

Not being able to say "That's not my job." just leads to dysfunctional organizations, burnout, and resourcing issues.

Different job roles exist for a reason. In the case of developers and ops, developers develop, ops manages ... well, usually literally everything else, and there should be _some_ overlap in the middle.

If you can't say "no, I can't do your job for you", then that area of shared responsibility just gets wider and wider and, if one side _is_ doing that (as developers usually won't step into the ops end too deep), it shifts further and further to one side. In the case of a typical organization where you have maybe an ops person per dozen or two dozen developers, that person very quickly becomes a bottleneck. That person gets burned out. You need to hire a bunch of expensive ops people to do work cheaper developers could be doing.

Literally watched the lack of role definition and a bunch of ops people that, by virtue of almost everything being their job, won't say "not my job" do this at a company I'm leaving. A couple months back I was literally writing code in one of our apps because the team that owned the project "didn't know elasticsearch and didn't have time to figure it out".
> If one holds that every agreement is either directly or indirectly coercive

You've made weird deductions and extrapolated on top of that then you reject that caricature you've created. That has never been stated.

It would be helpful if we can try to keep this in plain English.

> Either one has the agency to make and agree to a contract or one does not

People can have both agency and still use that agency into making an indirectly coerced "choice". The fact remain that it's coerced, and thus not particularly free as in freedom.

“Masterpiece's owner Jack Phillips, who is a Christian, declined their cake request, informing the couple that he did not create wedding cakes for marriages of gay couples owing to his Christian religious beliefs, although the couple could purchase other baked goods in the store.

You can describe any pedagogy as indoctrination. Conservatives are very selective about where the deploy that rhetoric. Grade school kids still get taught that capitalism is “better” than communism, but you don’t see conservatives flipping out about that.

Okay, another example. Imagine company X is broken up into A and B by a regulator. Now A refuses to do business with anyone but B.
Highly agree with you.

In the West we have already tried to force LGBTQ people to accept the behavior of their assigned sex. Result? Increased suicides, depression and drug use.

Obviously, after decades/centuries of failure we finally decided to recognize the reality of the facts: you cannot force people into a heteronormative life, nor to make children.

They are in for a hard failure.

Cdc added them may 2021 or so. The WHO still denies airborne spread. Plenty of jurisdictions still vigorously fight against recognizing aerosol spread as it would involve more work to fight. For example Ontario: https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2021/08/26/ontario-fought-a...

And yes, if you have a virus that cam infect 245 people in the gym through the air, then ventilation is more important than handwashing. I’m not sure anyone has even established evidence for fomite spread! I expect it is a mechanism too but the point is it has been treated as default for some reason despite lack of evidence and evidence for other methods.

He is trying to force the other person to bring evidence for their value judgments, but they, by definition, can not do that, since value judgments are not objective, so they just downvote without responding. Just trying to gather evidence would lead a thinking individual to reflect more about the nature of values, ethics and morals, but most people, doesn't matter if left or right, are almost equally dogmatic and most don't even understand anything about morality or ethics, they just blindly follow what society tells them.
