Look, I agree with the general gist of what you're saying - there most certainly is a morbid equation at play. It's clear that different societies have different calibrations though, and the OP describing the lockdowns as "insanity" does nothing to capture the nuance of the situation.

With the benefit of hindsight, my viewpoint is that the optimal response was early and aggressive suppression, followed by swift mass vaccinations, followed by an acceptance that the virus will be endemic and a subsequent 'opening up'. Australia failed on the vaccination rollout front, US failed on early suppression, etc.
It covers the case when someone makes an inappropriate joke then defends themselves saying it was just a joke.

The person being inappropriate will always hide behind their intent because they can only argue about their own role in the exchange (e.g. they can't argue that the target person/group isn't really hurt).

When a conversation is derailed away from the damage caused to the intent, the harasser wins. What are you going to do? Establishing a default assumption takes that away. Always have good defaults :)
> Type theorists have coopted much of the landscape of formal / mechanised mathematics, I believe much to its detriment.

What foundation would you rather have?

And what would it do better / how would it be less "detrimental" to formal mathematics?
That's a HTTP request no matter what data is being returned. Fact still stands that there is no JS API in browsers to make proper DNS requests (without HTTP).
I quoted you and then equated that quote with the phrase "do your own research". I think it was very explicit that I didn't put words in your mouth, but brought up that they say the same thing. Then I proceeded to rant why I don't think this is good advice.

If you think there's a difference in the meaning of these two phrases, I can clarify that the rest of that comment applies both to "read, and make up your own mind" and "do your own research" separately.
Even at organizations that have considerably smaller networks than Google, Amazon, Facebook and Co there are just seemingly insurmountable numbers of "small" problems that discourage all the involved parties to adopt.

We had IPv6 at our research area 10 years ago. Admins changed, and it was wind down bit by bit, because "it made problems". Not only that, I learned that the the general view over all of the admin-staff in our organization (a larger "Technical university" in Europe) agreed that IPv6 "makes problems" and nobody wants it.

Change is painful...? It is a shame, but what can you do?
Would you be willing to share your setup scripts or even just some hints on their structure?

On a fresh install I find myself always copying a couple dot files, editing a couple /etc files, etc., knowing there must be a better way. :)
Thanks for taking the time to reply and apologies if I seem worked up.

> therealrukshan (the linked streamer) for instance is far from independent or objective media.

There's an irony in claiming that a guy walking around with a camera isn't independent. Yes he has a take but he isn't beholden to any large company (murdoch, abc...). The raw footage is also some of the most objective content out there, it's so voluminous that even when he tries to hide the protests doing something ugly it can't help but give a good ground level perspective. His edited down footage is fairly biased, but not any more than majour outlets.

> taken out of context for propaganda purposes.

It's all there in the footage... people are peacefully protesting for a few hours, sitting down, arms raised to show they have no weapons. They even observed a minutes silence to honour the shrine. They are then forcefully removed by the police using rubber bullets, horses and some sort of noxious gas. Taking it out of context is misdirecting to side shows like telegram groups (by the way several have also be arrested for suggesting people attend protests online). Taking it out of context is misdirecting to the failed negotiations with the police.

I live in the area and watched them from afar for about an hour before things got out of hand, I saw first hand that they were being respectful and peaceful.

> Subsequently a borderline riot took place outside a union office in the city that afternoon

This was really the only time in the whole affair the protesters were violent and even then it was only a small minority. (and egged on by the internal union politics - not indiscriminate).

The protests as a whole were largely peaceful and in no means justified the continual escalation and militarization of the police.

Almost every other time the police have just been quelling peaceful protests and subverting democracy.
This is basically how the internet works though, isn't it? Your network and my network have parties interested in each others data. If parts of your network are generating traffic that I don't think is reasonable then I can either disable their access or negotiate with you or one of the parties on your network to pay more or I can deny or throttle access to the parties on my network. And a OCA box just makes everything better for everyone where it's possible to employ them.
What if ISPs created their own CDNs or someone creates a CDN network behind major ISP providers -- Netflix and YouTube top consumed content seems to be a very good contender for this type of a offering.
> South Korean lawmakers have spoken out against content providers who do not pay for network usage despite generating explosive traffic

It's impressive how this framing has gotten so much acceptance. The content providers are not generating the traffic, the users are, and they are paying their ISPs to be able to do so.
No no, subscribers are supposed to pay and not use what they pay for.
Seems like a good opportunity for Netflix to raise their prices in S.Korea and use a portion of that increase to pay what the courts seem like they're going to demand.

The rest of the increase would go to offsetting the additional burden on Netflix that this will cause by forcing them to treat S.Korea differently than everyone else.

I'm honestly surprised that any corporations are paying that there, but if the government is going to requirement, there's not a lot you can do about it. It's a very bad precedent and I don't see it actually going well for S. Korea. Putting up extra barriers is a way to keep companies out. We usually call it a "tariff", but that's generally for physical goods. And the goal is often to prevent as many of those goods from being imported.

What would S.Korea's internet look like if even 1 of the major players decided to just block the country instead of paying the fees?
A 3D action MMO is the only interesting project anyone can undertake today, everything else consumes too much energy.

Minimalistic open-source is the only way forward. The complexity of Unreal and Unity is way to far gone to be able to build anything original.

Browsers are way too complex to make 3D scale, even with WASM your turnaround will be too long for the kind of iteration speed needed.

The author probably bought the stock.

I quite like that the omni box will do math and unit conversions. So handy, so simple.
Squid Game is one of those shows you can never "unwatch". It's quite harrowing but strangely addictive and a great critique of modern capitalism. Strongly recommended if you have the stomach for it
I think this article is overlooking the most important reason for this. Most senior developers have plenty of assets and are retiring or taking a long vacation with stock/crypto/real-estate gains from the past year.

Some are rolling out their own businesses sure, but it's a terrible time to start a business now. Wages are skyrocketing, supply chains are overbooked, inflation makes it impossible to secure long contracts on predictable terms, and the passive income mania fuelled by the banks makes working on fixed income unappealing.
See that is something I don't care at all, it is 1% and still trying.

An MVP that 10 years later there is yet tooling to properly match it.

Unless one goes to Animator, Unreal, Unity, PlayCanvas.

And then regardless of how much everyone tries, it is an API for 2012 hardware capabilities, with constraints.

In 10 years no one was able to produce something like NSight, PIX or Instruments for WebGL.

The best we could get was SpectorJS, really?
Let customers vote with their wallet then.

If I were the judge, I would ask Netflix to stream low bandwidth version of the content so it won't impact SK Broadband.

AND, tell BOTH parties that they must put announcement in their respective website, "SK Broadband provides you internet at a cost (as per their claim). To enjoy Full HD of this content, pay extra to SK Broadband".

See which party the customers will be angry to.
There are three major nationwide broadband services in SK: Korea Telecom (KT), LG Uplus and SK Broadband (SKBB, a subsidary of SK Telecom). Among them SKBB is considered the worst because both KT and LG U+ operate their own infrastructures due to their pre-privatization history but SKBB don't, so SKBB has to perpetually lease infra from them. It is therefore no surprise that SKBB (and also SKT) is one of the biggest forces against net neutrality in SK, given their service is especially weak and net neutrality will make it worse.
I guess you don't use Google Maps then?
I finally got so fed up with Edge quietly changing my preferences back to their defaults I decided to completely stop using it. I have an MS account, Office 365 for work, etc. I thought, this is great, I'll continue using Firefox for personal and Edge for work, it integrates with my company account, that's neat.

But no, they can't leave well enough alone and just let me use my machine the way I want to. I don't want news on my work homepage, heck, even the weather widget bugs me because I can't turn it off.

So I found the Edge executable, added "off" to the end of the file name and now it's just sitting there, broken. I'm sure some update will come along and "fix" it for me but for now this slightly passive aggressive but mostly useless reaction on my part made me feel slightly better.

I'm not the same MS hater I was in the 1990's but sometimes they make it hard to forget that time, wish they would learn to get out of their own way and mine.
The community CoC is about to change and the person sincerely wishes to understand what is going to change and why. I myself try my very best to keep my words respectful and productive. I could see myself asking the same question when faced with such a confusing situation, because I'd sincerely try to respect the new guidelines.

Harassment is never okay and I find it problematic that the entire GitHub thread seemed hostile with a toxic mindset where if you don't fully agree on the actions being taken, you're assumed to not understand the intentions behind them. You're treated like an ignorant fool, who needs to "go educate themselves" and get "woke". Productive discussion seems forbidden. You can become a troll by claiming anyone else to be a troll whenever they disagree.

You had no bad intentions yourself and I agree that way too many people do lack a basic sense of respect, but please avoid making such condescending statements if someone could be sincerely asking others to clarify their thoughts.
When Elon Musk said in his interview with Tim Pool that "if we don't get off planet earth right now then we never will" I thought immediately that he was talking about exactly what Peter Thiel is talking about here. (Not surprising Elon has moved that way considering all the trouble he has been having with the government lately). I think they have both concluded that the Great Filter in the Fermi Pardox is simply technology advancing to the stage where one person or entity can enslave the rest of humanity forever. People can't have a revolution if their labor isn't needed for anything. Revolutions only work when those in power need those they rule over. Once one world government takes over, humanity will stagnate and stop progressing, just like happened every other time in history a single government took over an entire area. The only difference is this time it will be permanent, their power ensured by their robot technology that they long ago forgot how it works.

I just realized: By this same logic, end-users should be paid by advertisers for the bandwidth they were forced to consume for their ads.

I bet that wouldn't go over nearly as well as this.
If you like Chinese mustard, you ought to try Russian “gorchitsa”, which stands for mustard in Russian. It’s very spicy, probably on a level of wasabi, which ought to be included too, now that I think of it.
My guess is he would say UCLA crossed a line with the public response:

"So, even though a university administrator made it clear the university could not take any action against me — on the grounds that there was no known cause for taking such action — Anderson’s Dean Antonio Bernardo took matters into his own hands. He apparently reasoned that a well-timed publicity stunt might distract attention away from the school’s reputation as an inhospitable place for persons of color — to say nothing of its plummeting rankings in U.S. News and World Report and Bloomberg Businessweek.

Without any deliberation I was aware of, Bernardo suspended and banned me from campus. Then, like a well-choreographed dance, the Anderson administration started attacking my character on social media. As I documented in my legal claim, on June 3, one day after I received the first email, the Anderson School’s Twitter account sent out a message: “Respect and equality for all are core principles at UCLA Anderson. It is deeply disturbing to learn of this email, which we are investigating. We apologize to the students who received it and to all those who have been as upset and offended by it as we are ourselves.” This implied I didn’t believe in equality for all — when that was exactly what I believed and continues to believe. "

That is, if you're doing an investigation of something against internal advice, the appropriate response on twitter is nothing or something very nonspecific, like "we have no comment".

The reason for this is exactly what this lawyer is claiming.

My prediction is this gets settled out of court.
Good looking s-o-b.
Some how not the answer I expected, but I can see the argument. I keep nothing in my browser, besides a few bookmarks, so it didn't occur to me that someone would care about those things being automatically transferred over.
Hmm, I guess ISPs could just drop traffic if they can’t afford it, but maybe if you push a lot of data you could pay more to have the content actually delivered to end users.
This guy is the worst. His writing and beliefs are like the worst parts of Silicon Valley distilled into one human being.

> If you want companies to pay for your work, slap a price tag on it.

Without VC funding and personal connections to insiders, no corporation will ever work with you no matter how good your product is and no matter what the price tag is.

Open source used to be one of the very few ways to get a foot in the door if you didn't have personal connections to insiders. Doesn't work anymore. It's a red mark. They severed the last remaining meritocratic mechanism for earning money in the tech sector... Now the only way to get money is through prostitution or fraud.
The author is an academic historian. And it’s not… saying anything very controversial. It’s pretty much the mainstream view on Sparta.

I mean, obviously reading more is better. But this is a perfectly fine resource and links to lots of further reading. This blog is a far better thing for a normal person to read than the stuff you linked; it basically represents current understanding, whereas some of what you linked, while important sources _because we don't have all that many sources_ (historians have to take what they can get; for an extreme example see the Historia Augusta...) are bordering on fanfiction.
As an ex-AWS employee (although not an exec, but I think most Amazon execs would agree), I see a lot of parallels: Cloudflare is run the exact same way as Amazon is. They believe in Clayton Christensen's theory of disruptive innovation and hence continue to disrupt themselves.
Herodotus made a hell of a lot up, relied on oral reports and explicitly states that none of what he writes is intended to be relied on - it is merely what people told him. I think you actually need to read the linked blog that you seem so dismissive of, and come up with some substantive rebuttals to the points he makes rather than just making this rather lame appeal to historical authority.
I guess; in the sense that it frees cognitive load from reasoning about properties of your program that are easily computed to think about properties that aren't. Even then, maybe thinking about the former primes you to reason about the latter. But even if the compiler tells you what the type of something should be, you ultimately have the synthesize something of that type.

No, the answer was WhatsApp which they unfortunately went back to.

The point is, there are far too many XMPP clients for which it is very unlikely that their friends are on and have interoperability features.
By this logic the consumer would have to pay the ISP fee to every new service they sign up for, like Netflix, Youtube, Disney etc. I prefer the way it works now where I only have to pay for my connection once.
Similarly, Australia had problems when Netflix was first becoming popular here, putting huge strains on the network and causing widespread congestion issues from 6 to 10 pm.

I wonder if we'll ever see a predictive home-caching system; if I watch the first three episodes of squid game in one night, it might be sensible to have my TV download the rest of the series overnight.
It seems to me he has yet again shifted his views since writing this. He has seemed to embrace politics and benefits from government spending. Does anyone who knows more about Thiel know his reasons for this change in views? To go from wanting to get rid of politics to fully embracing it?

I've became more interested in Thiel since he started his congressional campaigns. Since he seems to want to change society so much, I was curious what drove him, and what his goals were. All I found was that he and I seem to agree on many problems, but our solutions are nearly opposite, and I can't see how he arrived where he did.

Yikes. So I'm a victim if I say I am, even if that's unreasonable given the circumstances?

It's true. Protected classes are people of a certain race, ethnicity, religion, sex, sexual orientation, etc. For example, an airline in the US that wanted to hire only female flight attendants would likely face a lawsuit from male candidates.

> intent is a big part of judging a wrong

As well as being a bedrock principle of the law, it's also basic common sense. If I accidentally step on your toe, that's obviously different to me deliberately stamping on your toe in an intentional attempt to injure you. If you set out to deliberately injure your colleagues then this is OBVIOUSLY different from doing the same thing accidentally and should be treated differently - and anyone with a working brain can see this.

The idea that "intent doesn't matter" is preposterous. Accepting it as a premise leads to insane and preposterous conclusions that no-one believes. People who say that "intent doesn't matter" don't actually believe it.
I think the CaML he's talking about is not the same as the CAML/Caml that then became OCaml, though I can't find any info on it. There's this page about the history of OCaml: https://ocaml.org/learn/history.html

The wikipedia page for ML mentionned that it was developed at Endinburgh by Robert Milner https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ML_(programming_language). Maybe the author made a pun?
Coal is thriving in China, India, Germany. So treating beef like coal would change ... nothing. Climate change is a global problem and assuming coal is treated globally as it is in the US is short-sighted. Most of the time coal power plants in the US are not even dismantled due on climate concerns. Only talks, no action: the swedish girl is right.
