An interesting list, though I feel it omits the elephant in the room:

In becoming the largest single media platform ever, operating at fantastic scope, speed, and with the ability to selectively filter and focus attention, today's social media platform monopolies have also become the heart of epistemic warfare.

This isn't simply a room with a few friends, it is a substantial fraction of everyone (2--3 billion-with-a-B monthly average users) on the same place at more or less the same time. The Facebook logo is among the most reproduced and seen icons anywhere, rivaling the Cross, the Crescent, the Dollar, and the Yuan.

As my friend Wooze pointed out a few years ago:

Our present epistemic systems are undergoing kind of the same shock that the online community underwent when transitioning from BBSs and Usenet to the commercial web to social media.

We were used to a very high content-to-BS ratio because it took a certain amount of intelligence and intense domain-interest for people to be there in the first place -- and we've now transitioned to a situation where many people are there more or less accidentally and (the worst part), because of a high percentage of the population being present, there is now substantial power to be had by influencing the discussions that take place.

This is far more the case than any lunchroom, cafe, street corner, agora, or meeting hall.

Assembled audiences have value, and that value is in manipulating them. Usually not in their own interest. And usually by multiple different third parties, each with its own motives.

That resulting dissonance is itself mind-warping in is effects. It also has profoundly dislocating and disruptive effects, in the worst possible way, on entire nations and cultures.

It's more important that one learns what a KVM is rather than what the letters stand for. Like you don't need to know what laser stands for to know what a laser is.

Edit: I say these here mainly because expanded out, the title says "Raspberry Pi 'Keyboard Video Mouse's Compared". That still means nothing to someone who doesn't know what a KVM is (actually makes it sound like HID devices specifically made for the Pi).

Isn't Johnny Depp a multimillionaire? Isn't he still getting royalties and residuals from sales and rentals of movies he's already made?

My main takeaway is that Swift is complex and tries to solve many problems. As a result it is going to frustrate almost everyone in one bit or another.

I'm not an expert in the Swift Evolution process but I must praise it in terms of ease of reading. Back when I was invested in learning more about Swift, reading some proposals helped me understand it better. But I believe the Swift team/community will need to define a boundary some time in the future on what must be added or not to the language as its complexity grows. In the long run, even if a proposal makes sense, is implemented and was reviewed, it usually will also add a new thing to the language that implies in a bigger documentation and another way to code/solve a given problem.

In the AnyObject dispatch regret [0], the author wrote "As I’ve mentioned many times (though not so much on this blog), Swift had to be as good as Objective-C at making most Cocoa apps, or people wouldn’t use it no matter how good the new stuff was". My first real contact with Cocoa was while learning Swift and I can imagine all the hard work that was put into it. Then SwiftUI came on together with a bunch of new features to a language that I was still getting used to. After getting frustrated with the lack of documentation (combined with the lack of knowledge about some patterns) and no clear way to solve small problems while studying it, I've decided to dive again into Objective-C to not only grasp most of in one week but also to find that I did not need most of the features Swift delivered.

And this is something that is part of Swift. By design it offers you multiple ways to tackle your problems and by design it is only going to offer you more ways as time passes. I consider this a trait that is bad for the language itself in the long run. Looking back 7 years after the introduction of Swift I guess Apple would be better served if it just kept investing in Objective-C. But who knows what will Swift and its ecosystem look like in 2028.

Yes. Matt's point is that we are in general selecting for intelligence and NOT true merit, e.g., honesty, integrity, bravery, and all of the traditional values. We seem to be selecting based on pure cleverness, and his point is that this alone creates quite a lot of success for people who are by most definitions terrible people. I don't see any issue with his argument, I believe he is on to something here. And because these intelligent but otherwise unprincipled people are raised up, they degrade the larger culture, the politics, and the economy for everyone.
> And what, a refund for 99% of the time what is a free at point of service to the consumer?

No, but give them a punitive fine (on the order of a percentage of their daily average profits) for failing to live-up to their own expectations set in their own advertising.
>There is no good faith argument against the vaccine.

Factually false.

1. It isn't a vaccine. It's a chemical signal to make your body make things.

2. It doesn't have the efficacy against the plethora of variants that all coronaviruses like the cold continuously create. You can still get COVID-19 after being "fully vaccinated". Human beings lack the technology to vaccinate against coronaviruses, including COVID and the cold.

3. It has caused blood clots. And the proteins created cluster in reproductive organs.

4. There are no long term studies of its effects.

5. If it kills your spouse, you can't sue the manufacturer.

Stop spreading misinformation about this pseudo-vaccine.
Why Xiaomi in particular? Can any phone be trusted? It's not like governments need to spy on you directly. They need only persuade Google or Apple to hand over their data on you.
Yes, but we also have efficacy data on vaccine boosters from small trials that seems reproducible. We don’t have that for ivermectin (the original article here). And the FDA is still arguing about who benefits sufficiently from a booster, but has not yet made it widely available either.
Does it have to be a batch process? Can you have a continuous flow system where pathogens rate of travel is lower than the flow of nutrients and cells?

Does the system have to rely on vats of cells? Can you make a believable meat substitute with GMO plants producing the raw materials which are constructed with bioprinters?

Can we genetically engineer, say, a cow with a functioning immune system but with no brain or other un-consumed organs such that it is amenable to mass culturing? (Edit: Sorry, just saw sibling post says exactly this)

I feel like the article is well informed and mostly correct. It's also the type of thinking that, while correct 99% of the time, prevents innovation by focusing on what can't be done. I think every engineer knows cynicism is correct 99% of the time. It's that rare chance when it's not, when you push against what seems like a law of reality and break through, that we achieve what we didn't think was possible.

I have no doubt, given this article, that the current approach to lab grown meat will fail. I am not so sure about artificial meat in general, however.
The environmental cost of livestock isn’t taken into account is it? What if they were taxed and not subsidized based on the cost to fix whatever environmental damages. I’m curious what the price per pound of meat would be then.
There is no reason they can't come up with a more readable API that works. Python says it's 'ß' and I'm fine with it as long as it's consistent:

> Light trucks accounted for a record 75.9% share of U.S. auto sales in 2020, up from 71.7% in 2019. In 2012, just eight years ago, trucks were 53% of the total.

Scaling up and replicating the digestive tract and metabolic processes of a cow is so much more complex than a plane, that's a terrible comparison. Continuing with your naive reasoning, let's make synthetic corn instead of farming too, because why not needlessly maximize complexity of the systems that we have to maintain?

I disagree. It’s too big a chunk of people’s net worth to not analyze like a financial investment, if only to make one stop and think about them opportunity cost of buying at various price points and how much you are really spending to consume living in a nicer house (because there is definitely a consumption angle.)

A primary residence even makes a good component of diversified portfolio so long as it is not the sole or dominant aspect of that portfolio.

I understand your point about it being a "forced savings plan", but with 5-10x leverage on most loans even a housing market that appreciates at inflation can provide significant returns (or losses) in the long run.

> The meat industry is also cost effective due to massive government subsidies, at least in the US. Would these subsidies be available to lab grown meat operations?

Why would those subsidies matter when you're comparing a cow to a bioreactor? You can stick the cow in a dirty field and have hundreds of pounds of meat a few years later, as dirt-poor herdsmen with practically no captial have been doing for thousands of years. Its equivalent competitor would be a fussy bioreactor in a clean room that would require millions in capital, as well as high-end expertise and labor. Apparently the "food" is also ridiculously expensive.
I thought exactly this. I wonder if we can get author to elaborate on the differences with Meteor.
That's easy to fix. You have a government body that takes complaints and if a company receives too many complaints over their customer service, they must pay a penalty.

Nice, didn't know list literals could be used for that. Makes sense, though.
Sounds to me like you would probaby be fine. As the article states there are various safeguards against it. Even just 2FA helps against brute force. Alternatively don't have it accessible from the internet.

Synology is a good compromise for ease of use and being able to actually set it up the way you want and need it. I have been using them for a few years and I'm happy with them. You actually get a good range of options for setting it up securely. I'm much more concerned about my router being taken over in some way as it doesn't get security updates and there is not much you can do with it.

And yes, I use it amongst other things for local backups. But then still back up to Dropbox and Google Drive from the NAS and other devices. And to external hard drives to swap around. It doesn't make me use cloud storage less, but I'm a lot less concerned about losing access with having everything local as well.
