Still really interesting though, thanks for sharing =)

World Bank Group to Discontinue Doing Business Report
Its not clear what your statement is supposed to mean. Are you asking me to take personal responsibility for times where minors are tried as adults and we'd both see it as an injustice? Cause, I got beef with the judiciary, but I don't see how thats germane to the topic right here.
Funnily enough, I've found that the .email TLD is often rejected as an invalid domain when I'm filling out my email address online.
How to know your market; and why you need to
maybe we reached peak aircraft? After all, we don't complain that we're using a knife design from a few hundred years ago.
Either I misunderstand something, or you do.

Your question sounds like "how can we trade dollars for other things if the printing press stops?" Easy - we just use the dollars that have already been printed, even if no new ones are being printed.

How do we have a bitcoin market without miners? We just trade with the ones that have already been mined.

Or am I completely missing something? If so, could you explain?
Not exactly what you're asking for, but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsRRCnque2E while being 480p and rather noisy, was very sufficient for me to watch and enjoy the talk back in the day. The presented material does not suffer much on the relatively low resolution.
Taxes which pay for the military should stay for defense. If film makes want to film equipment, they can model it, CGI it or buy it. Tax payers shouldn't be on the hook for helping the film industry.
Something that people seem to always ignore is if Monopolies are actually bad in the tech world. Having cohesion and consistency in tech is a major boon and it's not obvious that the monopoly is overall bad.

But that's not the question; if you want to remove them, here is what you do

As with everything, if something costs more, people will do less of it.

Tax the rich (seriously, 50-80% tax rates for major companies like Amazon and Google), and fund the poor. All our portfolios will shit themselves but we'll get good roads, no homeless, and healthcare. If you started to get into the higher tax rates, we might even see free college and a UBI
I'd like a chrome extension that marks links that target text-heavy vs "modern" so I know beforehand what to expect - paywall, ads, popups, clickbaits, etc.
I just wasted half an hour reading through the threads.

The gist is that NixOS has some weird dependency management that overrides Home Assistant's in a way that makes HA on NixOS a unique experience. And NixOS is not done repackaging HA, so it is in an unfinished state that only advanced users should attempt. ThIS will inevitably confuse users. Those users will then go to HA for support and will be unable to get it. HA doesn't want to support that and was pretty clear about it. Then this Jorg person got all up in arms and threw a hiss fit all over the internet and everybody got tense.
I know that when I get into a "flow state" while programming I tell my spouse to have patience with the way I reason/talk for the next few hours. Best way I can describe how I feel is the Tetris effect turned up to 11.

pretty false... a lot may stay dependent, but all need to present plausible plans for generating revenue.

Its design is interesting and the non-zero cost of IDs make sense as a way to build reputation and eliminate spam: https://media.urbit.org/whitepaper.pdf

I'm no fan of CY's neo-reactionary politics, but he's also no longer involved in the project and they're not relevant to the problems the design solves.

Similarly I think the 2008 monetary policy around QE was an incredible success, but I still think Bitcoin is worthwhile and interesting despite the fact Nakamoto thought the bailouts were a bad idea.

It's possible to look at these things separately imo. (John Nash, Bobby Fischer, etc. - long list of people that do worthwhile things but may believe things I don't agree with).

These are also good reasons to avoid using .so domains. You can also expect mail delivery issues and blanket corporate firewall blocks on .so. The rising prominence of https://notion.so is changing the cultural situation somewhat, but very slowly.

Sorry for replying to an old thread, but I wanted to respond to this.

I totally understand why blockchain isn't the standard for everything right now; my statement was in regards to formal methods to ensure correctness. For example, "reversing" a transaction could totally be modeled in TLA+ (and probably other systems, I'm just most familiar with TLA+ than most other systems), which would provide model checking (and possibly even proofs) that you would not otherwise have.
I think we also need transparency around coordination of these efforts with any government actors. At least to the extent the efforts affect citizens.

Kind of like transparency reports with regard to data requests.
It is natural that if it takes you half a life make incomings you are careful how you spend them... I do not find the problem there.

There are plenty of people that take bad decisions or take jobs with lower income or no jobs at all and they try to blame the rest. I do not feel responsible for the bad decisions of others. I am not morally forced to help them.

You can be sure that if they are people I know and I know their stories I could help. But that is very, I mean, VERY different from being morally responsible for the failures of others.

Saving harmful? First, it is good in that it will lower the inflation lolol. But leaving that apart... so it is bad to not spend the money so we must force them? Seriously, I do not understand anything.

In order to make money u mist provide services or goods. If u have money is bc ur service is serving others, at least in a free market... so tell me why those people that took yhe trouble to serve others and take risks should be penalized. Do not tell me they do it for money not for serving others... that is not important. The important thing is that the side-effects is satisfying a demandand that u bought either bc it is better than the competition or cheaper.

In my view it should be much more penalized a person that does not want to work bc they say those jobs are all shit and expects the welfare to rescue them.

Sorry to be so harsh with the topic, because I know that there are people who are not like that. But the problem is not helping itself, it is systematizing it. At that point people abuse it.
Oh my the comments for that video are fun
no you're right ahahah wth are these
> Would the individualism of American culture contribute to loneliness?

It does. People spend too much time on self-help and individual pursuits to actually hang around and waste time.

Wasting time in a "Time is money" society is contradictory.
I know it's not as good as nitter(didn't know about it)

My SO and I are both devs and we make good money. We live in a low CoL area and basically live on one income. We've been tightening our belt even more because everything is so crazy. We paid off our house recently but it was about 14% of our income. There's NO WAY I would move right now and buy a house and have it 30, 40 or 50% of our income. I don't understand how people who make the median are able to stay afloat right now.
I agree, many people are starting to code due to FOMO and not learning fundamentals.

Is there any way to filter the good content and tools?

and what about other subjects?
I associate ".xyz" domains with the alt reich. In fact, I consider any TLD that isn't .com, .net, .org, .edu, .gov, .mil or a standard international domain (like .co.uk for UK .com sites) illegitimate.

.win can fuck right off.
This is the biggest upside I see for Deno. I imagine a lot of fat could be trimmed in service orchestration with something that simply resembles a headless browser, and all it takes to deploy new code to your running service is giving it the equivalent of an `f5` and you're on your way.

Heck lets get this headless browser running in Ring 0 and skip to the end of Gary Bernhardt's dream.
It seems like a combination of issues.

The obesity thing tends to hold across many other species too. I would guess you are right about this being the main driver. A classic example would be dealing with animal husbandry and obese pigs. Fertility in obese females can be impacted too.

A variety of toxins have been shown to cause fertility issues too, such as lead and pesticides. It's also possible that estrogen and estrogen mimicking compounds found in drinking water could fall into this category (estrogen can adversely affect male fertility).

Testoterone is also a factor which has seen a large decline over the last 50 years. Obesity and sedentary lifestyle can cause a decline in testorerone and other hormones/enzymes related to sperm.

Then there's a possible link to RF reducing sperm quality. Although I think this is probably a secondary factor that might exacerbate the others.
I'd never considered the modulo operator to be that uncommon, but I've mostly worked in systems software and firmware. Is that really the case?

Not necessarily.

Generally a good activated carbon filter will get most of it. If you’re feeling particularly paranoid, a reverse osmosis filter will produce extremely clean water. So clean that there are disagreements about whether it will actually leach some of the salts and minerals back out from your body.
I believe the person you responded to was saying “…and owners have no real financial motivation to sell [their company]” and wasn’t making a prediction on the future price of Bitcoin.

Is there anything to be said for leaving the harmful content there? If the crapflood made people like facebook less, or get more skeptical, or made the company get serious about not shoveling manipulative garbage down people psyches then I'd be pleased.

I know "deplatforming" seems like a good idea, and is effective in the short term, it just strikes me as ultimately the wrong level at which to attack anti-social behaviour on "social networks".
It's time to disrupt the market. As Google can't compete with a newcomer that penalize ads on page.
Let's say I have a rule to block emails that mention "bitcoin" from arriving in my inbox. Is that censorship?

Let's say, so many people have set up a similar rule that the email provider offers a quick way of adding that very rule. Is that censorship?

Let's say, so many people use that "quick way" that the email provider turns it on by default. Is that censorship?
The linked site does suggest a reason Massachusetts
would have less overweight people, based on their exposure to environmental contaminants.
"History" could be renamed "men acting dumb, reckless, and horny" and it would basically be accurate.
The second article in the series cites a 25% increase in calories consumed during the period where obesity is rising, but then tries to wave that away as inconsequential.

It seems obvious that obesity is the result of the increased caloric intake with secondary effects from the increasingly sedentary lifestyles we all lead.

Environmental toxins might play a tertiary role, but it’s definitely the calories driving most of the obesity issue.
I remember watching an episode where they planned to build a partially subterranean home all within some sort of triangle shaped junkyard that sat on the interior of a block of townhomes. Completely ridiculous idea but when you've got lots of money, why not? There were two basement levels and then two planned above ground levels except they ran out of money for the top floor and stopped there. Who wants to live in that terrible location in a house where most of the living space is in a basement? They could have built a lovely country mansion or even a very nice normal house in the suburbs. Instead, they waste money on unique but stupid ideas.
I just tried with 5 songs and I couldn't get lyrics for a single one. It did show some trivia ("Behind the Lyrics") for English songs but not the lyrics themselves. Could it be that they don't actually have the rights to show lyrics?
This was my question: why write this in the first place, since this is basically an announcement of no change. Makes sense that someone is trying to acquire them, especially given how crazy the VPN space has gotten and considering the mozilla deal
I saw this in The Three-Body Problem:

> Everyone likes to reminisce, but no one wants to listen, and everyone feels annoyed when someone else tells a story.

That quote really resonated with me, as I realized how true it was for my interactions in the last few months.
Good! We need more of this. So tired of the crooks getting away with it. All the BLM assholes who got free shit last year should be in jail. They stole and made inflation go way up. Somebody's gotta pay, and it's the honest people.

The point is, ads engineering is about 10% of Google's engineering workforce. The 90% remaining are producing products like organic search, YouTube, maps, shopping, picasa, gmail, deepmind, Google brain, voice recognition that actually works, self driving, automatic translations and captions etc. Google produces the maximum amount of published research by far.

How do you think these free products get paid for? By the 10% of engineering that does ads. The engineers optimizing ads are actually getting everything else in the company funded, including revenue less Deepmind, which would have folded years ago unless it was purchased by Big Tech.

Sure give credit to the government and educational system, but what is the point of denigrating ads engineers who are funding all of these while also optimizing ads results so that they are relevant to users. Would you rather have them work on cancer research? Do you really think cancer research is desperate for machine learning engineers to help them out?

Or would something like DeepMind, Google brain, automated medical report analysis, smart search of medical archives help them better?

Edit: as an aside, its presumptuous to say that the best minds of our generation are ML and systems engineers. ML engineers are good at math, programming and optimizing models. This doesn't automatically make them great biologists, oncologists, physicists or even mathematicians.

super! How far would you say are you in indexing the blogosphere ? I tried the engine a few times, but I mostly get academic papers and I know most (good) blogs are in fact text-heavy.
I hardly disagree

"HN" comment chains may be better (but that's debatable) than forum's linear discussions, but

HN "news" model (front page oriented) is terrible and everything that falls from front page is automatically dead, end of topic.

Forum discussions can last weeks, months or even years meanwhile everything that's 2 days old is dead on HN, here's no discussion once something disappears from front page.
In one dimension, the same thing that happened to Dr. Dobbs and Byte. The world moved on.

In a different dimension, blogging has become a "I am too old for this shit." Believe it or not, Usenet used to be good. Now everything requires massive administrative effort for spam and trolling. And SEO'ing because there's so much noise.
It's consistent with the hypothesis, but way too general of a correlation to show causality.
I'm surprised it's taken this long for them to get somewhat serious about this. I've worked with clients who have hate brigades that report everything they do and publish in an effort to get their pages and ad accounts shut down. I've gone as far as finding in infiltrating Facebook groups that openly talk about this while planning their next attack. Reported the groups for months and no one at FB cared.
If only Zulip were search-engine-indexable it would be the perfect middleground. Unfortunately it's still a ways away from being implemented I think.

There have been a variety of such apps, going at least as far back as "Backitude" (now gone) on Android that could log to a local KML file that could then be uploaded to storage of your choice on a schedule.

It could also connect to a URL of your specification to upload real-time updates.

Keep in mind that if you're not concerned about immediate tracking you can log locally then use any of many options (e.g. FolderSync) to do scheduled uploads of a log file.
It's spam protection. Which I guess is a form of censorship, especially in a medium like SMS that has no built-in way to mark something as spam and still deliver it.
Very strange game. It seems the only winning move is not to play.
Censorship is part of an agenda. This is not censorship, and you calling that waters the phrase down. If I have a poorly constructed email filter, is that censorship? I wouldn't say so, and this example is more in line with that than with any active censorship.

So, in short, no one is afraid to call something censorship, I think they are just waiting for the right time. When it is applicable.
I'm only 20 minutes in, but I can already tell you that you won't be disappointed. I feel like after just about a third of the video I already fully understand the physical and logical disk format. Like the previous videos, it's chock full of dense information presented with very clear visualization.
People have gotten away with heinous crimes for decades, only to ever be caught by chance. There are a staggering amount of unsolved murders and missing persons who have never been found. Even white collar crimes with clear paper trails can go on for decades.

As long as you're not committing a high profile crime, and you make a informed effort to minimize and/or erase as much evidence as possible, you're pretty likely to get away with a crime.
Thanks. Have you got any example issues that are public on GitHub or something? I can't imagine changes in byte-code parsing for example that you'd hit if you were following the spec from the start.

Reading through the styling part and working with mui4 and other widget libraries in the past - and seeing the 5 solutions listed that basically do the same thing - holly shit how did it get to this point...

I got the value of JSX even if it felt messy - but the css-in-js becoming popular on frontend is one of the why I switched to full backend roles now.

And when he says that changing the implementation of a styling solution improves component performance 5x ... at what point is it OK for a fancy styling abstraction layer that serves no real purpose (it was just as shit to customise as any other solution, doubt it made people significantly more productive, and they said it was a maintenance burden to maintain abstraction layers) suck up that much performance ? Even the "fast" path is order of magnitude slower compared to good old CSS...
I have this same problem with "obscure" .net domains. My text messages are silently dropped.

The only work around I found is to not include http://, just use the bare domain.

Personally, I find this behavior of my SMS provider reprehensible.
I have my personal site on an xyz domain because it's the only thing I could justify spending on. I don't intend to earn from it, it's just a static site, and it's significantly cheaper than anything else. I'll probably stick with it.
I can't be bothered. If they want to censor me that's their prerogative. I'm not paying to shitpost here, and I'm not getting paid to be here either; I'm just a guest.
I find the fact that reddit forces me to use the app on mobile, and not the browser, highly irritating. End of story, I don't go there.
It says it will double their customer base to 6M. Considering ExpressVPN's subscription is $100/y, we're looking at around +$300M/y revenue. I really doubt selling data is worth more than that or even worth jeopardising that revenue.
Not sure of a specific one. I think RO removes it. Also, I think NAS has started certifying filters that remove PFAS. You can test your water for PFAS to see if you need one too. Sometimes the source of PFAS is from ones own plumbing and not the supply (if your supplier has a test that has lower levels than your home).
From a purely observation perspective, pornography consumption has increased dramatically at the same time as falling fertility. Even if a mechanism isn't obvious, it at least seems like there is a possibility of a connection.

Studies have indicated that long-term pornography use correlates with erectile dysfunction and loss of interest in sexual relationships. It's not hard to imagine that fertility might be related to these other aspects of reproductive health. Unfortunately few long-term studies seem to focus on fertility specifically.

Short term studies on the influence of porn find that novel sexual stimulus seems to increase sperm quality while it attenuates in response to repeated exposure to the same stimulus. This is bad news for real life humans who cannot change as rapidly or dramatically as one can switch videos.
Yeah - I don't disagree with you on that.

It's the threading model I think is superior - the forum pages model where you get hundreds of slowly loading pages and horrible quoting, signatures, etc. make it unusable for me.
> That sounded like work, so I declined :) And thus was my editorship revoked. I am going to guess that they had trouble ever getting a volunteer-editor model to stick.

As an early Quora Top Writer, I feel you on this. I really enjoyed it for a while, and it was nice to have an audience for my writing. But as the site grew and got more centrally controlled, it wore thin. Eventually some admin told me I was Doing It Wrong and I decided I'd had enough.

In the years since I've decided that I'm just not going to give volunteer labor to for-profit things. If they want to make a zillion dollars, great, they can pay their workers like everybody else. If I get the urge to contribute, I can always work on Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other public-benefit projects.
