What I realized after many long discussions with my friends is that the largest discrepancies in opinions often originate from a simple different assumption. The difficult part is discussing long enough to figure out what that assumption is, since it's usually so fundamental (for both parties) to the whole belief that you have to spend a long time arguing about the "obviously" wrong statements of the other person.

When you figure what the assumption is, it's basically guaranteed to make you agree with each other: "Ah, but so you believe A! Of course you'd argue for A' then, makes total sense now!" It's then much easier to find compromises since you can work on the small thing below rather than the whole scaffold built on top.

Unfortunately I haven't yet found a way to easily discover what the differing assumption is aside from lengthy debates. This makes finding compromises with people harder as you can only discuss in depth with people where you can trust that they are truly arguing in good faith.
Artificial hearts already work since quite a while.

Kudos on building offline first software!

Just spitballing here: maybe there’s a way to use Redis (and RediSearch) compiled to WebAssembly and then use it on client side?
My favorite technique is to let the other person talk and just ask why repeatedly. It’s incredible how often people will repeat a stance without being able to explain why they believe in that stance. The embarrassment of not being able to justify it usually ends the debate quickly.

This also often works in tech when people tell you high level advice and you ask them for specifics.

In a hypothetical world where humans eat something durable like wood, making wood an investment would create a group of people who cannot afford food.

In the real world where shelter is durable, making it an investment creates a group of people who cannot afford shelter.

Homeownership-as-investment is a mechanism to increase one's wealth at the expense of the less fortunate. It is ethically bankrupt.

It is also a disgrace that even though technological progress makes more and more things people need affordable, we use political means like zoning regulations to artificially drive up home prices in order to turn them into a good investment and thus unaffordable for some.
It's a simple thing, but many who write about propaganda don't seem to get it:

Propaganda can be divided into positioning and payload. Positioning is what is written to attract an audience. Payload is what the propagandist actually cares about.

There's very little payload. These farms aren't trying to "spread chaos" for its own sake. It's just a side effect of trying to gain an audience; clickbait media at its height was exactly the same.

Don't think the payload has anything to do with cultural issues. It's either narrow political stuff (I.e. getting people to believe Syrian rebels staged deadly attacks on themselves) or simply profit.
Third party like Yang is doing or abandon this broken system altogether and form a new government as the founders had suggested. But there are way too many political and business interests that want to keep the status quo.

What are these people smoking? DID has nothing to do with PoW, it's merely one of the methods you could use to timestamp when a signature was made. There are plenty of other ways (centralized too, since that's probably what Microsoft and Google care about) to do this, so not sure why sustainability is being brought up as a counter-point to the DID specification.

I believe your argument misses a critical point: The practicing researchers have no difficulty judging the value of articles appearing in a given venue.

Chief among them, making it so that it doesn't. In a way, just a variation of their age-old way of justifying their "Governement is the problem, it never works!" stance by fucking up government whenever they're in power.
True.

For simple apps with not much logic, you can get away with different front-ends/offline-syncs adding their own rows, and then only respecting the latest row in the main db, usually based on timestamp. But if you have something more complex where multiple workflows get triggered as side effects, then you may run into trouble when the latest row is in fact not the truth of the reality that we wanted, so there is still some risk ending up with states or workflows based on a false reality.

This can become a nightmare if you a have few scheduled events/tasks/crons that does things periodically, thus the only way to mitigate that is to fully embrace eventual consistency and idempotency, and the "easiest" way to get there is to embrace the actor model paradigm (see erlang, akka/akka.net, Orleans framework, F# mailboxes, go-routines, etc).

Point being, comparing two versions of applications against each other is not enough - you may need to version your data too and use timestamps to make a final decision on which version is truth. You may also need to set or build a tolerance system to say it will only sync "old" data if within x amount of days, lets say less than 7 days old. And so on.
From the linked MIT article:

> In the run-up to the 2020 election, the most highly contested in US history, Facebook’s most popular pages for Christian and Black American content were being run by Eastern European troll farms.

Why wouldn’t this article mention the Black American content as well? Certainly this is newsworthy, given the crucial implication here: foreign actors were pushing opposite views on many topics in order to manufacture division.
I think it's a myth that the enemy tries to destabilize the country with cultural issues. Remember Gawker? They too were incendiary culture warriors. But it was because it got clicks, not because they wanted to undermine society.

Yeah, the NSW ones contain a base64-encoded JSON blob storing: the id of a business (a short numeric string), the business name (shown in the app even during an offline check-in) and the business address.

I haven’t investigated the Victorian ones deeply, but I would imagine that the name is only used as a confirmation for the user, and a minimal or manual check-in requires only the ID.

No, people aren't predisposed to believing in a father figure judging you. That's such a western biased view. People are predisposed to follow the crowd.

A surprising number of Black Americans are Christians, too. Maybe they just got conflated.

I seem to remember `tptacek (and others) criticizing the Grievances affair when it first gained attention. One of the other criticisms was that the papers weren't quite as crazy as they sounded from the title alone.

I haven't done so again, but I seem to remember reading one of them when they were published, and indeed, while a bit of a funny premise, the actual report seemed to actually be interesting and actually deserved publication (assuming the data wasn't faked obviously).

I seem to remember that the more outlandish-sounding papers were the ones that weren't published, and the ones that were published were the more reasonable ones, too.

R2 is still under development, we will see how it will work, but I can tell you how Tebi.io global replication works:

- Writes and reads always goes to the closest region, this keeps network latency low. You can define different metadata write concern levels for each bucket, this way you can define how fast or how consistent your writes will be on a global scale. You can even make them asynchronous, meaning that once the data transfer is complete, metadata write and propagation is performed without you waiting for it to complete.

- If you write to one region and someone is trying to read that object from another region - it will be possible as soon as metadata is replicated to that region (usually it takes less than 500ms). If data is not yet replicated to that region, then it will be read from another region. If the data is partially replicated, then that part will be read from the local storage and the rest of the data from another region. Additionally, Tebi supports synchronous replication allowing almost instant data propagation across the world.

- Write latency depends on metadata replication write concern - it can be faster than AWS or slower, you can configure it yourself.

- You can define where you want to store your data and how many copies you need in each region.
There's a few subtle points here. One is that I don't think the article actually disagrees with you — it just assumes internet access is readily available for the sake of argument, and moves on to explain why offline-first matters even despite that.

The more interesting point is that "internet access is flaky" isn't necessarily a good argument for going offline-first. Rather, it only suggests that you need your client to be more resilient to being knocked offline in an online-first world. Rather, the article argues that an offline-first is interesting unto itself as a completely different architecture that's closer to a desktop application where the binary is delivered through a browser.

Put differently — they're not trying to argue you should make Gmail work offline, but rather that you should consider structuring your application as Thunderbird inside the browser.

I had my first set of glasses at 7. I was diagnosed with myopia, -1.5 and went to get some glasses done. I hated the glasses and my parents insisted I wear them, but I could not frigging see with them and kept saying I have blurry vision with them. High source of friction with my parents. 1 year passes and we visit the optician again, it turns out the glasses were +1.5 - no wonder they were useless to me.
Such a forgotten classic. I remember it took me hours to get the dependencies on my suse right and once it worked I was so overwhelmed by what's possible. It was so weird and beautiful at once.

Why's does that surprise you? Christianity is most popular in poor black southern regions. Black people are more likely to be Christians than white people.

Christianity is also much stronger in Africa than in the West.

I think it's possible in the near future Christianity will become a predominantly black 'thing' worldwide.

Current science seems like a real mess of wrong incentives living from past times prestige and being used as a opinion-laundering scheme in the worst cases.

Continuously on the move/sleeping in the move is a benefit for truckers. It's not a cost. The issue is, if we are already labor constrained, what is 2x the new going rate for drivers with a sudden doubling in demand.

> they don't demand any particular doctrine or mindset

But they attract one, don't they? And that's how MOST religions work.

The big Abrahamic religions are rare as religions go, because they insist that what you do should follow from what you believe.

Most religions are perfectly fine with it being the other way around. As long as you follow the customs that give a sense of community and meaning, you're given a lot of leeway in how you justify them - and that's how fandoms work too, including presumably the Kardashians fandom (which I'm happy to not be very familiar with).

The company does owe employees a lot more than agreed compensation. Companies, as entities in our society, fulfill certain roles which are without exception means to something else. We use (commercial) companies as instruments to improve human life. Modern economy in its entirety is but an instrument and not a goal in itself.

I've grossly oversimplified things here for a number of reasons, but this is pretty much the gist of it.

Companies effectively work as tyrannies where the tradeoff involved (renounce freedoms for the promise that money is) appears to be eventually disadvantageous for the society, even though it may seem advantageous for the economy.

Companies owe society a better life or they're not fit for purpose.

That is one of the main things this article is actually about.

"The fact that the symptoms occurred at a significantly higher rate in those recovering from COVID-19 vs influenza is important, as it implies that the cause of the symptoms is directly linked to SARS-CoV-2 infection, rather than a generic response to a viral infection."

To be honest though does it really matter? The fact is hundreds of millions of people have caught this disease and a large proportion of those have long term symptoms. Whether or not this is unique to Covid or just more common with Covid is really beside the point. It's still a major health care issue that we need to research and understand, and allow for in our planning to manage the impact. We don't have tens of millions of people with long term health impact from influenza, but we do from Covid.
Ok it's feasible, let me reword: it's awkward. You have to hunt for the "start a bounty" link in the question, not the answer, and then presumably still have the minimum bounty period of 24 hours, after which you have to come back to award it to the answer you wanted to reward?
