Definitely was not treated like garbage. Obviously not all entry level jobs treat people well (or even fancy jobs, ever read a comment thread on being a software dev for Amazon?), but just because jobs are low pay does not mean they are exploited.

Seriously, do you expect six weeks of paid vacation and 30 bucks an hour for running a till at an ice cream shop? I can see maybe 18 an hour at an ice cream shop, but even at that price I’d be shocked if you don’t lose business due to a cone costing 5 bucks instead of 4.

Maybe this conversation would be helped by understanding what you define “exploited” and “treated like garbage” to be, and some examples of how that is happening. I feel we must be talking past eachother, because it’s hard to understand how there’s a valid argument for non skilled labor to command a high salary.

Again for reference I believe that wages haven’t kept up with inflation and that a minimum wage of around 18 or so an hour would be appropriate given the cost of living increases we’ve seen in the last 12 months.
Yes, don't you remember the early days of the pandemic when Donald Trump was very pro-mask, including regularly wearing a mask himself, and then only when the liberal started moralizing he turned anti-mask?

Relatedly, I've never liked "literacy" as the word here; actual literacy is (at least where I'm from) a relatively low bar and mostly a binary, either you can read or you cant. And most importantly, the economic system I live in isn't primarily pointed towards thwarting your "reading."

Again, for better or worse. Not to necessarily judge capitalism as inherently bad, but it feels like calling it "literacy" carries some judgmental baggage; what we call "financial literacy" is more difficult and shifting all the time.
This is pretty outrageous. This constant need to fully control and monitor everything your kids are doing is getting out of hand and will by itself lead to severe problems and mental issues for the future generations.

I mean, who didnt share or look at some porn when they were 10 years old? Would it be worth it for a whole army of teachers and consultants to descend on you and file an “incident report” and a “follow up” and “de brief” for this? What a colossal waste of resources and money. The $300k for the software could be better spent elsewhere.

And yes, one suicide was apparently prevented, but then here we are again at the same argument, its like the one in the current apple/child porn case.

Should we all get monitored just because of one positive but disproportionately small outcome?
Awesome! I like that you added the controllable camera mode.
To be fair, that is, an small interesting story, IMHO, not much to ask for a stranger to open their place to another stranger.
In the good old times, an story was not enough, you had to describe much more of yourself to help people trust you. That what CS did, created a global trusting metric. The free nights (that is exactly the symptom of not understanding the CS concept) on someone place was just part of the whole thing. The connections were some of the main benefits and those were incomparable.
Or course, CS was not for everybody, you needed to be wired in certain way to use and to enjoy it, but f you did, there was nothing like it and it was as good as travelling gets.
I have wondered why hasn't that been pushed through? To me it seems it would fix multiple issues. Like employers not wanting to employ people full-time because of benefits. Removing the benefit trap could be very effective.
I wonder if Freenet is used for anything but super illegal stuff, and sheer curiosity?

This isn’t to say privacy and escaping the bottleneck of traditional internet isn’t compelling. But I’ve yet to see a use case for Freenet.

Well then this thread is very odd, because if people have that perspective about why current wages are what they are, then I don't understand what they're complaining about with the current labor shortage. They should see lower supply driving up wages as a good thing.
I don't think it's entirely true.

Internet or not if a band were to play 4 straight hours live like Led Zeppelin used to do back in the days they'd get noticed.

Of course you can't just be at the park sitting on a bench while doing so.

You still have to go through the process of embellishment and make an effort to sell yourself both in terms of structure and looks.

What people on HN and reddit fail to realize is that the internet won't ever find a way to force its way into the golden hour of music marketing:

7pm-3am

Young people go out during that timeframe, they are with their friends and smoking and drinking all sort of funny things.

That's how one's favorite song is minted.

The problem is clubs, they want to play the hits because they sound familiar. They should scout for bands and structure a deal for a % of their future income in exchange for giving the initial opportunity.

Club owners are not ambitious enough to think they could find the next big thing and become their manager, and yet history of early pop music was all about that sort of arrangements.

It's "not already there" as what torrents do is not the same as what Netflix does even though both are related to media delivery. Try seeking on a torrent which only caches the local blocks and getting the same seek delay, try getting instant start and seek when 1 million people are watching a launch, try getting people to pay you the same amount to use their upload, try getting the same battery life on a torrent as a single HTTPS stream using burst intervals. As I said P2P doesn't offer as many experience consistency guarantees and has many other problems. Licensing is just one of many issues.

Of course for free many people are willing to live with starting and seeking being slow or battery life being worse or having to allocate the storage up front or using their upload and so on but again the question is can it fit in the cost offset of some of the centralized infrastructure not what you could do for free. I don't have anything against torrents, quite the opposite I am quite a heavy user of BOTH streaming services and torrenting due to DRM restrictions on quality for some of my devices, but it isn't a single issue problem like you are pressing to make it be.

For some internal distributed action Netflix has made IPFS into something they can use but not for end delivery https://blog.ipfs.io/2020-02-14-improved-bitswap-for-contain...
Slight tangent, but I'm wondering and kinda dreading the day that some company pops some large advert upon the Moon so it can be seen on Earth.
I would avoid anyone that named themselves kafkaincarnate. That's just terrifying.

On a side note, my favorite kafka story out of all his saved works was, the blind paranoid mole digging tunnels. I'm a big fan of kafka but would never want to align my brain with his tragic way of thinking. But he was not wrong to be paranoid, he lived a pretty terrible life in a pretty terrible time.
Thanks, I'll have to have a poke through that and see if I can understand how to customise / build.
If we make childcare a societal issue then we need to broaden that to make it easier for anyone and everyone to not only care for children but have children. There are plenty of those who want children but can't have them for a variety of reasons, some of which are other related costs (medical, legal adoption, etc.).

If you select childcare alone you bias towards those can easily have children which can foster resentment and opposition for tax based support. We already do this a bit where everyone pays for for public schooling regardless to if they have children or not and we also subsidize parents further by allowing them to be claimed as dependents.

Let's not keep this limited and make it so anyone wanting a child through a socially acceptable method be able to afford them long term since ultimately that's more generically what we're taking about.

They are different things. I2P is a transport layer, freenet is a (imo weird) combination of transport layer and distributed storage. So, running IRC over freenet (for instance) isn't a thing. Personally my take is that freenet is conceptually not as interesting as running bittorrent over i2p, but YMMV.

So literally, nothing different. Labs are all hypersensitive about their processes right now, so they're doing 1) already, and the recipient of that invoice is the US NIH, or the CCP, neither of whom have either the willingness or ability to pay.

It's window dressing, and I'm becoming even more suspicious that the disease origin is just another managed narrative, as everybody who believes it came from a lab believed it last year, and nobody who rejected the lab leak view last year is going to have their mind changed to where they accept institutions they believe in are culpable.

It's an issue designed to politically neutralize people, so that we will be just like people arguing about jet fuel burning temperatures on the internet instead of confronting our governments about surveillance and state overreach and the patriot act. The whole so-called "debate" is a honeypot tarpit for useful idiots.

Citation needed. The paper does indeed limit the meaning, but also concedes that this interpretation of what they are measuring is possible.

I don't consider transports as a kind of interoperability. From Telegram's point of view it's just 2 telegram accounts talking to each other. Wherever else this data is sent is not that important.

Moreover, I came to a conclusion that reliance on transports reinforces the network effect of external services and weakens XMPP's network effect. Do not use them.

The CouchSurfing community was wonderful, as I discovered from my first experience surfing in Irkutsk in 2009, to hosting in Japan in 2012, and co-hosting a meetup in Kaohsiung from 2016-2018. Some of the most dynamic and fascinating people had profiles, and the level of trust in strangers was immense. In my case it started largely because I had no other option, but it became a joy to pay it forward, and see how people worked together for the greater good.

Where is the community now? Many people, myself included, are still affected by lockdowns and border closures. Despite that, in the past year, BeWelcome has grown from 135,571 members to 167,073 members. We know we need a mobile app and an API, but it's been difficult for committed developers to get involved.

I stay away from it because chunks of the data is hosted on your local machine, and it could potentially contain very unsavory data. Sure it's encrypted but try to explain that to your local law enforcement.
I know that with the big transactional mail providers, it's important to use their services to ensure deliverability, however if your service is primarily inbound, is there any downside to forging your own path and running your mail server?

Extremely different. Sweden has 20% foreign born inhabitants.
I am not upset women aren't staying home to take care of children. I'm upset that women have so willingly been trapped in fighting for their rights to be part of the Labour force, and in the end have to work full time without the ability to afford child care.

At least you got a few things right. Yes, women have been working "more" and it has created the difficulty to get their children proper care. It's rather logical. You can add to that it is not just women's problem. It's men's too. It is our problem : we have a model that cannot solve an absolute road block: if women work, and get equal pay, then childcare become out of reach to a large portion of the population. Unless you increase the kids to carer ratio of course, or build robots as carer. I think the issue with the work arounds are rather obvious. Or maybe not since I've only commented with simple logical critics but many won't cease to conceive a society with women taking care of their children until a proven solution comes along.

I don't have a plan to fix that problem, no. That's why I blame the dogma that introduced the problem in the first place. And I refer to the previous model that worked for millenia, which is a gender based role system. It doesn't have to be that way, but sure let's consider any way, but I don't see why criticising today's model and referring to one that worked is useless.
I think they're called UHVDC.

> As for what I would do - I'd simply tell them that they are more than welcome to become a customer, and that you certainly will take their needs into consideration when prioritizing your roadmap.

Rephrased: In other words tell them to accept your terms, as your current customers pay in total 500/month and you are not willing to customize your product paid by the hour for a market rate.

My take: Think hard how much your independence is worth and how much you are willing to move in another direction because of money. Big companies might want to create long(er)-term contracts and there might be a lot of money in it for you (which you then can use to improve your SaaS). But it also has its downsides, as you will spend time [in exchange for money] for something you probably did not intend in the first place.
The upshot of a project like Freenet is that no matter how noble the intentions, these days it's pretty much a CSAM distribution network and little else -- and if you publicly fess up to using it you'll be put on a list.

This is why the future of the internet is censored, regulated platforms like FB, Twitter, and Reddit -- if you seek out uncensored platforms you are ipso facto up to no good because of the reputation of what goes on on those platforms.
Could also be applied to community discussion, both online and in meatspace.

There is an extreme minority of people who comment and up/down vote who drive the discussion of the whole. The 99% rarely participate and just go along for the ride.
This is a rhetorical question. I think American healthcare is a different beast altogether from banking and credit. I could be wrong, but I'm not convinced breaking into financing is as hard of a beast as healthcare. For example, auto companies do often have a financial division that offers loans, often times being very competitive with or beating your bank or credit union.

I would argue this might be far easier for Amazon to pull off in the US or Western countries vs. countries like China or India.
I did not share or look at porn at 10 years old, and I don’t think that it was common to do so pre-puberty, pre-internet.

I’m not sure there is gain in normalizing this.
Word frequencies follow a power law, so nearly all words are used very infrequently. So a randomly chosen word is likely to be very uncommon. Also there are many more specific concepts than general ones (because each general concept encompasses many specific ones). So a randomly chosen word is more likely to be specific than general.

Random sampling is likely to give you unusual, highly specific words. I don't see how that wouldn't do very good. Sure, you could do better by mapping each word to a concept, then selecting ten random concepts and selecting a word for each concept. But why do that when you get 99% of the way there with just random choice.

To show this experientially, I let python choose 10 random words from the first English word list I found. I got "epilithic, codirects, serologic, capsian, digestibility, yasna, samsara, supergun, hepatoptosis, kyurin". Sure, capsian and kyurin are somewhat related (names of places/people), as are serologic and hepatoptosis (both medical terms), but it's a pretty good spread.

The best piece that one can read on the origin of covid is by Zeynep: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/25/opinion/coronavirus-lab.h...

I am still confused how people think that it being an accidental "lab leak" is any more damning of the role China played in the initial outbreak. China made a lot of mistakes and also kept other countries in the dark for way too long no matter the origin. It can also serve as a warning against authoritarian models of rule.

My criticism doesn't mean I think we shouldn't investigate the origins either. It is in the world's public interest to err on the side of knowing too much so that maybe the chance of this happening again is reduced.
It's a lot less active, but it still works. I have never found a replacement for it.

The worldwide community is large. We can do many things all at the same time. Investigating the source is not a distraction.

We now have documentary evidence that Fauci authorized money to be channeled through various organizations to labs in Wuhan. These documents also link people involved with this activity to the very same people who assured us through letters to a highly respected journal that the lab leak theory was completely wrong.

This brings to mind many questions, but do people act like this when they are not covering things up? This bears investigating.

It's unlikely that the people investigating will be the same ones developing new drugs or treatments for covid.
Bagel?

I read your post yesterday. Good luck with your language!
This paper has been posted in various forms in various places but it never stops being full of shit. The "coding" test was essentially memorizing some syntax in python which makes it meaningless. Algorithms and abstraction are just math and syntax is syntax, great programmers are generally good at the former which they don't even attempt to test for. I'm all for diversity in tech but the narrative does get tiring after a while
Both the videos referenced above worked smoothly for me. I’m on a 30 mbps cable Internet connection.
Because outcomes of (in this case even large, complex, expensive) experiments should be published independent of outcome?
My understanding is that:

-- i2p was originally a fork of freenet

-- Freenet was designed and conceived as a datastore, fist and foremost, whereas i2p using 'garlic routing' was apt for any IP protocol proxied over it (a bit like tor)

-- Freenet therefore is more efficient and distributing popular data

-- There are some concerns about the algoirthms behind freenet's anonymity, which i2p claims [1] are troublesome.

-- Incidentally, I have heard complaints about the crypto behind i2p, but I am not expert in this area enough to comment. My understanding is that the consensus is that "tor r is better", but note you can e.g. run freenet over tor if desired.

I played with both as a curious teenager around the time they were released. I am now largely terrified to, because of the prospect of accidentally finding CSAM, which I suspect is very high on both platforms.
