Grandparents only work if your parents retired or your grandparents are alive and functional. Current generations millennials and Z have grandparents dead(shorter average lifespan, waiting with having children) and working parents(economic situation, better healthcare). Not only that, but you also need to live close by. We are migrating way more than before, there are whole cities in Europe and US left with retirees. You also need to have a larger house to host grandparents. Millennials have a worse economic situation than boomers.

Current life of young people look like:

— Get expensive degree
— Move to expensive city for jobs
— Hard to find partner
— Cannot afford to start family, postpone children
— Have children without family support
— Get into high level of debt

There two things happening

— People have less or no children. This lead to increased taxation and increasing retirement age in many countries. It often causes social unrest when governments try uncontrolled external immigration to fill the gaps.
— People try to live frugal lives, reduce spending and try to save for retirement individually. This disturbs housing market and stall country economy and destroy luxury brands.
Yep, you are the only person.

I'm still not getting the relationship to dependency injection. What is pipelining?
I didn't think I was convincing anyone to run anything, just explaining that this approach wouldn't work. Moreover, there's always a possibility that you, a “decent person” can become a “criminal” one day, and, counter-intuitively, that's when you want the laws to work and be equal for everyone, not when you're a “decent person”.

But it doesn't need to be so dramatic. Like most of the people on this site, you probably use more or less cheap broadband or mobile internet at home. The reason it's much cheaper than a dedicated line to your location is because a lot of people in your area want an internet connection, too (and they don't use it fully, or all at the same time, etc.), so there's a great deal of ISP infrastructure sharing. So you help your neighbor in having a cheap internet access, and your neighbor helps you.

What if one of your neighbors is a maniac who streams killing people, or a botnet owner, or a military drone operator working from home, or just a domestic abuser? Have you asked your provider to only join the “decent people” network? If not, you are actively helping bad people right now.
It just keeps repeating the same 5 second interval for the classic 10 past ten time.
If you just use a cloud provider's UI you will have no separation between desired and actual states. Then, whatever people change it to is the only truth.
I actually prefer the subscription model but only for enterprise.

It makes it a hell of a lot easier for the admins too, just buy a license for each user and it works. No worrying about license, needing to update to latest version etc in big jumps. Plus many people were paying for additional 'support' anyway.

As a non enterprise end user, it's the worst thing in the world. Like Adobe stuff for example. I'm sure the model works fine for businesses, but it's horrific as an average user. I just want Photoshop on my pc. I dont care if its the latest version. I just need a version of it that I can buy and use and not have to budget in forever.

Always a lucid, non-tribalistic perspective from Rossmann.

He makes a fantastic point about how the breakdown of trust in authority really just leads to a general breakdown of efficiency in society, as everyone feels compelled to "do their own research" because they don't trust the "so called experts". It becomes a vicious downward spiral.

This works in Iceland because it's easier to get to the hot places. They pump water down fissures, the steam comes up to power steam generators, and they actually pump the water back up and send it miles away as hot water to Reykjavik.

It's effective because the fissures make it easier to implement this process.

Source: I went to Iceland in 2017 and toured their geothermal plant on Christmas Eve.
Note : this is about the PRC under Mao and the USSR under Stalin. Arguably Mao's China was more of a dictatorship that Stalin's USSR.

How many devs are ramen-profitable on the App Store versus how many devs tried to be?

I always have the suspicion that Apple wants us to believe that the App Store can make any honest, hard-working dev filthy rich, when in reality you need to be extremely lucky to get more money out of it than you put in.

> That's a pretty big incentive for plenty of people.

If $300 a week (before taxes) is a "big incentive" for people, they were being criminally underpaid before they lost their job.

Consider it from a customer's point of view.

Comcast threatened to throttle customers' bandwidth, refusing to deliver the speeds they had promised. The data was available to Comcast, customers had paid for the service of delivering that data, but Comcast wouldn't provide the full service they had sold unless Netflix paid them more.

The deeper issue is that Comcast is lying to their customers, promising them more bandwidth than they are able to deliver, so when Comcast's customers wanted to use all the bandwidth they bought to watch Netflix, Comcast couldn't afford to honor their promises.

But Comcast has a monopoly in the markets they serve, while Netflix exists in a competitive market, so Comcast got away with it.
>This is a bold and unsubstantiated claim.

I'm fine with that but its non the less the hard truth there is nothing like the 1st amendment in any other place.

>For other actions that are protected under the 1st amendment? Depends....

To be in the right doesn't mean you win the court case that's true but in the EU you dont have the 1st amendment, you dont have the right to free speech. If the court system does its job correct you go to jail not when the system fails because of "important" people and corruption. You go to jail because what you said is actually a crime to say.
Needless to say that the list of "crime speech" only gets longer and longer over time.
> Polls concern possible changes to society

The concept of the Overton Window is instructive here. Policies like "should local property taxes go up by .5 percentage points to fund school safety" are safely within the range of allowable discussions. These are issues on which the "elites" disagree, or don't have particular attachment to.

But questions that threaten their status, like "Is it good that individuals own the means of production?" are not going to be in the Overton Window any time soon, mainly because those elites agree that they like the status quo.
Don't. In addition to the fact that our police are intrusive, our criminal legal system is optimized for tallying high numbers of convictions rather than justice, everything is dependent on your credit score, you get effectively no vacation and very little in the way of labor protection compared to back home, and you're fucked if you get sick or injured without adequate employer health care -- according to various European Hackernews who came here, our food is terrible.

As for how Germany is freer than the USA... it consistently scores higher on various press freedom indices and on Cato's Human Freedom Index. Social mobility and legal protection of privacy are both higher in Germany.
Right before COVID hit, I called my local school system out for installing spyware on my son and daughter's chromebooks. These were not provided by the school, they were bought by me. The spyware included a keylogger, something that forwarded every URL requested, a screenshotter, and a popunder autoclicker (yes, ad fraud).

After a few emails back and forth, I sent one in demanding to see a search warrant and to know what horrible behavior the school believed gave them the right to search my computer. About 10 minutes later the spyware was removed from my son's school Chrome account and I got a call from the school system CIO who was making extra-sure I wasn't going to take further legal action.
I read the basic difference to be anonymity of the user. Which freenet protects by design but has therefore spam and DoS to deal with. Whereas IPFS doesn't have those problems, but also no privacy.

The big thing that went wrong when women went to work, is that it didn't really help households in any way. What should have happened is that either households doubled their income, or each earner would work only 3 days a week at most. Instead, thanks to decades of stagnating wages and rising housing costs, households wouldn't have any more money to spend, but have a lot less time.

What should have been a great deal turned into a terrible deal. Unequal pay meant that initially, men didn't want to work any less when their wives started working, rising housing costs and child care ate up pretty much all the extra income, and stagnating wages meant that even as the pay gap closed, households still weren't getting ahead. We're overworked and underpaid, and employers just got more productivity for the same money as before.

We should go to a 24 hour working week.
Well there are the two types of "free" to play games, the ones that are malware and the ones that are "Pay" to win.

With the latter, I think people are mostly aware of how much they spend in the "Pay" to win games even if it's just for cosmetic items. The most common argument I hear is that it's no different than spending $3.00 on a coffee or a snack and it gives roughly the same amount of value, it's just a digital asset.
2 doesn't sound right. Folks around Wuhan could sue, sure, but once you're outside of the locality, countries are responsible for their own response. That's why countries have border controls - to decide what comes in.
Right. The point I was making is that the generally applicable advice rarely changes and so is not interesting to a publication (or broadcaster) and the specific detailed advice is usually only useful for a very small number of people so is not so useful to the readers/listeners/viewers.
Does this actually solve those cases though? If I run one of these in China and talk about the Uighur genocide am I actually safe? Not being sassy I'm actually wondering.
Religion isn't just about comfort as the article presumes. Article is very naive from the perspective of any serious practicing believer. It's really about Truth.

Let's use a more modern story as an example: The Simulation Theory. We are in a simulation etc., etc. If reality is a like a video game, and we're characters being 'rendered' by the Universe client, how could anyone probe into what the nature of the simulation is? How can any process or group of people ask the right question to find out what exactly is the substrate on which the simulation is being simulated?

Many ancient religions are attempting to do just this. They are trying to peek at the true nature of reality. The words and stories are written in ancient vocabulary, but this doesn't mean ancient peoples were talking nonsense. Even if parts of it are wrong, the main premise of all religions is that the supernatural exists. Something that science is by design unable to probe, just like someone inside the simulation will not be able to look at its own source code.

If you want to dismiss the supernatural, first you must define the true nature of reality.
That’s correct!

Far far more advanced — it splits data into chunks, encrypts it end to end, uses a Kademlia DHT which removes the IP addresses after the first hop so no one can find all the nodes, has consensus about the files and their evolution, and uses later cryptographic primitives like BLS keys etc. etc.

The idea of financial literacy was always a "shift of responsibility" tactic. Credit card and payday loan companies and other financial companies that preyed on people could avoid regulatory clampdowns by recharacterizing a problem with their business models as an educational issue or a personal responsibility issue.

It's broadly similar to how oil companies became so very keen on recycling and "everybody doing their bit" in the 1970s onward.
> some people might not be able to get cigarettes from the gas station, or buy gas without a credit card.

Switching to credit card kiosks won't help. It's usually illegal to have a gas station operating without an attendant. Something to do with that whole danger of blowing up and killing lots of people thing.

> maybe, out of 5 gas stations, 1 will remain open and now have 5 times as many customers

Except it costs some money to open and close the store, costs some money to have alarms & surveillance while the store is closed, costs the store in damages, and more than that, costs customers who will prefer the store that will always be open, even during normal hours. It may not all be as wasteful as you think.

And what happens when the store that can justify staying open happens to be the one that doesn't provide diesel, propane, milk, or similar? It can be very detrimental to the city.
Nice. I was always thinking that western idea about dictators is stupid. People are the same around the globe. Only difference is amount of resources available at given point on earth.

> How do we get good content from a platform that is explicitly copyleft?

The same way we get good software from a ´community´ which is explicitly copyleft.

> Will the vast majority of creators use this even as a backup?

The best way to use platforms like Peertube and Odysee is by using it as a primary source, with Youtube and Vimeo essentially playing the role of CDN. Should the censors not like your video for $reasons they can block them 'till they turn ultraviolet but they can not deny anyone access to them. Make sure to advertise your alternative distribution channel(s), use the same channel names and video titles so they can be found through regular web search and you're set [1].

[1] that it, until censorship reaches the network layer
> So apparently all schools are amateur at commercialization. UF just has more experience than most.

I knew an engineering professor at a large state school with a renowned engineering program and one of his biggest complaints was how incompetent the licensing/commercialization office was at the school compared with, say, Stanford.
The elephant in the room is that Apple must already know this is happening. It's not like they need a viral blog article or a user flag uprising to tell them this -- It's been obvious to most technologically saavy users who own iphones -- and it must be 10x as obvious to someone who works at Apple on the actual App Store . They're just choosing to do nothing about it because it's advantageous to them. Period. But what else is new when large sums of money are involved...
People expecting content for free is the Original Sin. Advertisers are just a side effect of peoples unwillingness to pay for their content.
> Freenet is the same as it ever was. I don't think you could play around on there and not find that stuff. Dunno what's going on on I2P these days.

You're very unlikely to find it unless you're looking for it, none of the default indexes allow it.
Thanks for the pointer! Will look into it
> If our education fails to teach, then our education has failed.

Or education was not the solution?
I wonder how much harm the constant surveillance does.

We are training kids that someone is always watching. That they have to censor their thoughts and hold in their feelings rather than talk about them with others for fear of it being determined to be 'wrong'. How many of these kids will be suspended, expelled, medicated, etc for things that were harmless? I think this surveillance will cause these kids to be less independent and delay their maturation because it's safer to do what you're told, not explore questions you have, and suppress your opinions.

The number of conversations I had in school that would have gotten me I'm trouble today would be a lot. I would guess they would have expelled me for some of it, even though it was totally harmless.

Where is the cost benefit analysis? Or is this just another 'common sense' solution because 'think of the children'?
> It was well thought out too, hard to spam with fake comments etc.

Curious, what techniques did they use for that?
While in general dictators aren't as definitive as it seems, communist system this report is talking about is quite different, historically many dictators had much more unilateral power and were much less reliant on their peers for support

That is evidenced by the fact that the USSR had many, many more peaceful transfers of power than any dictatorship I can think of, and military/security service coups were always very unsuccessful. Ultimately this all comes from decentralization of power.
That's my takeaway as well. What's yours?
Short answer is no, regulators aren’t stupid.
You can use tagged pointers for memory protection.
One problem is that the privacy invading and censorous systems work 99% of the time ... sucking away most of the market, which is boring usage, and leave the alternatives concentrated in "other stuff", much of which is undesirable.

There wasn't anything in this article that made me think he was suggesting a conspiracy. In fact the word 'bias' (repeated twice in the title) sort of implies it's not a conscious process. The way I read it was that everybody acts in their own interests, without coordination, and trends emerge, with "elite status" being a label you apply to a set of completely unrelated people. No conspiracy, just bias.

Looking at the author's CV, he's an economics professor, and that's a very Econ view of the world. So, I would not be surprised if he doesn't feel like he needs to explain that perspective on his blog.
> That's the thing: It doesn't have to pay off and it doesn't have to generate revenue. That's not its goal. It is not a business model.

This is the answer to so much of what's wrong with the modern web. We need less business and to get more communities back into the center of the web... it should be even easier today since IaaS is so much cheaper, I think it's just a focus problem, nothing is relevant to the big sites that act as the lens to the web unless it's directly pumping money somewhere.
Drag and Drop with Elixir – Phoenix LiveView and JavaScript Interop
There's a related phenomenon with young women claiming they're training to be the first person on Mars. They, and usually their parents, carefully craft a media personality where editors and readers fill in the blanks to assume the "astronaut in training" is part of NASA. That the agency exerts little control over its name and logo makes this much easier to accomplish. If a media organization goes through the effort of contacting NASA, they will be told that the "astronaut in training" is not affiliated with NASA. That these young women (for some reason I've yet to see this media manipulation work for young men) attend Space Camp gives them something with NASA on it they can point to so others will make the erroneous assumption they're in NASA astronaut training.

As far as I can tell, nothing they're doing is illegal. Anyone can say they're training to go to Mars. Anyone can buy NASA t-shirts and any child can attend Space Camp. NASA doesn't regulate the use of its name in twitter and Instagram account names. In most cases it appears that the media either doesn't look very deeply into verifying these people are who they're presenting themselves to be or are willing participants in deceiving the public themselves. It makes for a nice article or fills airtime to have on a teenager in a flight suit covered in NASA patches talking about inspiring other youth to follow their path to becoming an astronaut.

But at least the young people in the article and the ones posing as "aspiring astronauts" have more common sense than the young lady who lost her internship with NASA because she was slinging profanities at a member of the agency's advisory board while celebrating her appointment.
Parler had contractual obligations with AWS that they violated, were given opportunities to correct the violations, and were unable to do so. AWS hosts more objectionable content than Parler, but those parties are able to keep themselves within the bounds of their contract. It's that simple. Parler wasn't censored, they breached their contract and so their contract was terminated.
