> The general argument of the Bell Curve, that people from different parts of the world have wildly different distributions on many different attributes, is (or ought to be) completely non-controversial, consistent with almost all scientific evidence and obvious.

“That people from different parts of the world have wildly different distributions on many different attributes” is, as you say, obvious. But just because there's a lot of variation in many traits among humans mean there's variation in all of them, in fact we all have the same organs with the same functions, the same number of chromosomes, the same metabolic pathway to produce energy from food, etc. There are as many things that don't have variations in humans as thing that do. Don't get me wrong, I do think there is a genetic impact on cognitive ability, but this argument is really poor one.

When almost all your citations in your discussion about the link between “races” and intelligence, are taken from at best biased studies (from South Africa, Rhodesia or Southern US under segregation) when it's not openly racist (Richard Lynn, which has 20+ citations in the book!).

If you want quick look at the quality of the sources used in this book, I highly recommend you to watch just the five minutes starting at 1'52'28[1], about the “single best study of Negroid intelligence”.

A large generalization but in my experience women operate under the assumption that they will marry a partner that has equal or greater earning potential. Men assume that they will have to support their partner.

The other part of this is kids and biological reality. Can't imagine doing a trade or physical job while pregnant. Even after birth it took my wife a solid year or more before she was physically back to "normal".
Getting into fatalism or relativism is not doing anybody service. If one sees something wrong, they should take a stance, even while knowing that not all that glitters is gold.

> USA broke their back. They opened their private banking

If you've ever been to a really large American city, you'll notice all the logos of the large Swiss banks on big tall shiny office towers. The USA said that if they want to keep doing that, then they have to follow American laws. The Swiss banks decided that running their businesses in America was more profitable than secrecy.

"Follow our laws or get out" is not even remotely controversial.

This was someone that manifested by squatting a building... is that extreme to you? My definition of extreme is a tiny bit higher, I would expect risk of life or at least a pretty large amount of money involved... not a bunch of kids manifesting gentrification.

There’s nothing horribly wrong with BSD licenses if you’re wanting something permissive.

But there are some minor drawbacks:

* there isn’t a "the" BSD licence, but a family of similar licences

* MIT is similar in spirit to BSD licences, but has the advantage of being more explicit[1], for example regarding sublicensing. https://opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/217/what-are-...

Finally, as a user, I prefer Apache over MIT because Apache makes patent rights explicit.

That's like saying we must pay them because we said we will pay them, which is the definition of debt.

My question is more, that given your comment and others suggest it will never been paid completely, why then pay at all? What's the threshold for "we pay this, but not that"?
Tech Epochs and the App Store Trap
This is not so far from the truth. In the past, censorship usually only happens to people doing something illegal, meaning copyright infringement, radical political content or other disturbing content (usually porn or violence-related). So most of those people have seek for alternative platforms where they are free.

But more and more the line is shifting, and we see censorship happening with far tamer content. Youtube specifically seems to crack down on security-related content for a while now. I've seen similar things happening over trivial content in the past. Things which nobody working in the business would consider as problematic, like how to setup VPN and firewalls. It's not really clear why this is happening. People at Youtube are claiming the content seems to be ok, but system says nope.
The evolution of words are interesting, but without any real examples of the "brainwashing" style "plagio" being prosecuted ... it is really hard to know what it means / how it could play out.

Maybe people just strongly disagree with you.

To me SRs points seem fully compatible with (strongly) progressive taxation to finance meaningful Anti-CO2 measures; calling that "communist" looks like an inaccurate, americanist slur to me.

Whether unceasing economic growth is compatible with hitting emission goals is a numbers game in the end and has little to do with ideology: At some point, no amount of "greenification" will allow positive growth, because the efforts of de-carbonizing alone might already be too costly emission-wise, and reducing consumption would be inevitable then without sacrificing the goals.

All I know is that we basically knew all of the facts for the last 40 years without much to show for, so continuing "conservative economics" does not seem too promising to me.
Some modern disks, depending on firmware and applications, do in fact do a lot of remapping; they have wear leveling enabled, generally aimed at shoveling data such that the head tends to move less and give you better latencies. Wouldn't surprise me if normal disks are starting to that regardless of usage as reducing tail latencies never hurts much.

There is also a difference between remapping a sector and reallocating a sector. Remapping simply means the sector was moved for operational reasons, reallocating means a sector has produced some read errors but did read fine.

A disk can operate fine even with 10s of thousands of reallocated sectors (by experience). The dangerous part is SMART reporting you pending and offline sectors, doubly if pending sectors does not go below offline sectors. That is data loss.

But simpy put; on modern disks the logical block address has no relation to the position of the head on the platter.
> Very few people still code with the legacies of the 1970s: ML, Pascal, Scheme, Smalltalk.

Arguably, the software world would be better off if more people did code with those 1970s languages, than with the ones we are stuck with now.

And that applies to Awk, too. As the author quotes Neil Ormos stating, Awk is well suited for personal computing, something which we have gotten further and further from at the same time as computers have become more distributed. At what point in history have such a large fraction of the human race had the ability to calculate to such an amazing order of magnitude, and at what point in history have such a large fraction of the same human race not bothered with calculation?

Awk is a great tool precisely because it puts quite a lot of expressive power in the hands of an average user on a Unix system. Sure, on a Lisp machine or Smalltalk machine there really isn't the same need for Awk: the systems languages on such machines are safe enough and expressive enough to do what Awk does. But in the Unix context — which is basically what we're all living in, with even the VMS-derived Windows more-or-less adhering to the Unix model — Awk is a godsend.

Yeah, sad.

I've been using Firefox religiously for the last 3 or so years. Just wiped my Mac, and decided to compare it against Chrome (didn't even install FF).

Outside of the tracking and privacy, Chrome is just so much smoother. I didn't even realize. Now my heart is telling me that I need to return to FF, but my mind is questioning that.
You are missing the other half of the equation. If all services just cost more that will just result in inflation. I think you want the cost ratio of services jobs to other jobs to increase. That would mean you would want non-service income to be able to buy less services.

GoDaddy moving customers to a new email platform (Microsoft 365)
Received the following email from GoDaddy:

--------

We're retiring Workspace and moving your email to a new platform. We know change can be hard – but not this one. This update to Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy is going to be smooth, and you don't have to do anything.

For each of the following free accounts, you'll get a two-month free trial* to test drive Microsoft 365 from GoDaddy without paying a thing:

[redacted]@[redacted]

If you currently use catchalls in Workspace, Microsoft 365 doesn't support this functionality, but does have other options.

I am indeed using a catchall for my domain and forwarding everything to my Gmail account. I have been enjoying free email service with my own domain for years, but it seems that I'll need to start paying for email service moving forward.
I honestly don't know what you're talking about.

Anything that is command line based and needs small changes to text input can be done with awk. It is a very competent language for scripts.
I still do that with my Linux boxes. A small /boot goes first, followed by swap, /, and finally the partition that will contain the majority of the data (usually /var or /home).

This arrangement has advantages even in the age of VMs and SSDs. If I want to change to a larger disk or array (or resize the virtual disk), I can simply extend the last partition where the extra space is most likely to be needed. If swap was last, it would get in the way. On the other hand, if I needed more swap, I could just add a swapfile somewhere.
Obviously by the use of "plagio" itself of course...

Mind-control is a tricky subject you know. ;-)
Its not an objective fact in the sense that there is nothing rigid in political and economic science like we have in mathematics or physics, but yes, every instance of attempts at building socialist governments have been tied at the waist to authoritarianism. In all cases, they have resulted in collapse (USSR), limped along under authoritarian rule (Cuba, Venezuela, Madagascar), or have thrived after jettisoning actual socialist economic policies while maintaining heavy handed authoritarian rule (China, Vietnam). In all cases authoritarianism is propped up as a means to an end of achieving an equitable, socialist utopian state. But in all cases, the socialism has shriveled or died, while the authoritarianism remains.

Perhaps one day there will actually be a socialist state that manages to successfully create the egalitarian society it promotes, without requiring heavy-handed authoritarianism to bring it about. But until then, the association between socialism and authoritarianism is about as well established over the last century as anything can be in the realms of political science and economics.

No conspiracy. Really smart people with egos tend to overate the transfer of their expertise from one domain to another. You see this all the time in tech.

There are already good references in previous threads (e.g. look up anything by Gabe Brown).

But in a nutshell - plants are in a symbiosis with the microorganisms and fungi that live in the ground. Plants feed them sugars and they feed the plants nutrients in return.

When you add large amounts of artificial fertilizers, plants don't need to feed these organisms anymore and this soil fauna dies. But the soil fauna also normally excretes materials that improve soil quality (e.g. fungi excrete glomalin, which binds the soil particles together). So if you use artificial fertilizers for a long time, your soil becomes dead. And such soil is easily depleted by wind and rain erosion.
They are bragging. They think are clever and want people to know of their cleverness.

> My background is in adtech, which is a unique mix of massive scale, dynamic logic, strict latency requirements, and geographical distribution. I've built complete ad platforms by myself for 3 different companies now so I can confidently say that this is not a difficult scenario. It's a ready-heavy content site with very little interactivity or complexity to each page and can be made much simpler, faster and cheaper.

I don't dispute this or your credentials. You've built critical systems in a space where it was a core of the business. If given time, and resources, I have no doubt you could build a custom solution to their problem that was more efficient.

Unstated in this is the type of business MangaDex is, which I have the following assumptions about. I don't think it's unfair to assume that we're mostly on the same page here:

- Small to mid size, at most

- Small engineering team. Need to develop, deploy, support, and maintain solutions.

- Lacks deep systems expertise, or is unable to attract talent that has that expertise ($)

These characteristics are very common in our space. To solve their technical problems, most of the time, they reach for an open source solution (after examining the alternatives like a service).

Now the question is given those constraints, and their other business requirements, how do they best optimize for dimensions they care about? Everything is a trade-off. Everyone who builds knows this. It's unkind to pretend this is a purely technical exercise. And after reading their article, it's obvious they know some of trade-offs they're making, so it's unkind to suggest a naive solution that does nothing but make you feel smarter. I'm not saying you did the above, but some of these comments are outrageous.
Crop rotation implies the selection and plating of nitrogen fixing crops. For example, because corn requires significant nitrogen, we would plan peas alongside corn. Peas are nitrogen fixing and the corn stalks provide a good structure for the vines. The next season, the corn field would be planted with something entirely different.

Phosphate replenishment can be done by spreading manure or using fertilizers. It's a harder problem, but you have to work the problem.
> Was the intent for them to delete illegal content like child porn or bomb threats, or to boost one political viewpoint over another?

The latter, fairly explicitly. Or, more specifically, with the fairly explicit hope that platforms would overall enforce one particular dominant cultural viewpoint (which is not without political dimensions) beyond the scope of what government had the power to regulate, but that this necessarily meant delegating to private parties with potentially divergent views.of community standards was acknowledged and accepted as the cost of broader censorship than there was any argument (even as much as there was for the rest of the Communications Decency Act in which 230 was included, which was otherwise entirely struck down as a First Amendment violation) might be consistent with the Constitution.
Any agriculture depletes soil. That's the law of preservation of energy.

If there is no nitrates, and phosphates in the soil, they can't magically appear out of nowhere.

Sure. On desktop I use Thunderbird, on mobile I use something called Feeder, it is a FOSS RSS/Atom feed reader with built in Webview so you can watch the video in app if you like.

YouTube and Bitchute both support RSS, also Peertube has RSS built in if you watch anything self hosted using that software, as far as all the other tube sites out there I'm not sure because I don't subscribe to anyone on those sites, but I would expect that they do more than likely as RSS is still a web standard.

All but Peertube I've found sort of hide syndication in some way to encourage their account based subscription because they'd rather you use that. It might take a minute when you want to subscribe on a new site you don't usually use to figure out their feed URL format.

It can be a little clunky to add subscriptions I guess, but how often are you doing that? What matters more is integrating all your subscriptions into one feed, you're watching every day multiple times a day, you're not subscribing every day.
