It looks like the problem here is that CNN, MSNBC, Hollywood, Fox News, etc. are in general controlled by the either the same people or people with the same interests as top political elites. For Facebook, while they are trying really really hard to be the good boys, it's not the case. While they doing a lot of effort to "suppress misinformation" (i.e. prevent any heretical thought from being voiced) they are, by nature, less efficient in this than centralized legacy media. It's not possible to be a heretic on CNN. It's still possible - though increasingly hard - to be one on Facebook. This is going to be fixed, and what you're witnessing is the process of implementing this fix.

> I wonder if atmospheric CO2 increase is correlated with the massive reduction in insect biomass we've seen.

A byproduct of increased atmospheric CO2 levels is an increase in vegetative growth. My naive assumption is that more plant mass means more food and habitat for insects.

Meh.

Look, I hope people begin to understand that "ideas" in politics are just about as valuable as "ideas" in the IT field; which is to say -- they're fun to have and they can be exciting, but they're also pretty much worthless without execution.

A tough lesson: If you support a presidential candidate because of their ideas, you're unlikely to get very far.

The President usually needs to be like the boring CEO of the established company; you need a Tim Cook, not an aspiring Steve Jobs.
By your definition, a lot of the hardware that works on Linux is an "unsupported hack". I don't see why this even matters; if someone -- even if they are not the original manufacturer -- wants to support something, then by definition it is not "unsupported". Whether or not it's a "hack" or not isn't really relevant, and it really sounds like you don't understand the output of a good reverse engineering effort. If it works, then it works.

Hell, most Lenovo, Dell, IBM, etc. laptops don't have official Linux support from their manufacturers. They're also "unsupported". I guess that means everyone should just buy System76, Framework, or Purism, or one of the scant few models that a small minority of the big manufacturers actually support Linux on, right?

> Compare this to where people make a LineageOS release for their mobile device. Still unsupported by the manufacturer, but GPL requirements often mean there's still device code to work with, if not at least the device ROM being released that images can be used to boot another OS.

This is a pretty bad example considering that many phones with LineageOS support still require closed-source binary blobs since the manufacturers don't provide source for everything. If anything, LineageOS is more of a "hack" than the M1 effort, which aims to produce open-source drivers for everything.

> Apple is still one of the only hardware companies who have gone out of their way to prevent Linux from being run on their hardware.

I think you're ascribing to malice that which is driven by indifference. The things Apple does that incidentally make it hard to run Linux on their hardware are probably driven more by lack of caring than any deliberate effort. As marcan pointed out in reply to one of my other comments here, Apple does things because they need to in order to get the features, performance, battery life, cost, and security they want. If the "Linux friendly" way of doing things doesn't jive with that, they'll go their own way.

> As such, I cannot see why open source advocates would continue to try to get any distro running on Apple hardware

Perhaps you just lack imagination? Your motivations (or lack thereof) are not others'. "Open source advocates" do what they do for a wide variety of reasons. And the people who are working on this might not even be "advocates"; maybe they just like Linux and don't like macOS, but love Apple's hardware.
I think if you can get the optimum which is getting a motivated doer, go for it. But given the option between the two, go for the doer.

Ranked choice seems to be the best one I've read about. Could you help us understand what voting system might be better?
The main issue is that third parties often have the opposite effect that their supporters want.

They draw voters from the more aligned main party, causing that aligned main party to lose elections.

Third parties hurt the interests of their own supporters.

There are good reasons why the Democratic Party tends to support the Libertarian Party and the Republican Party tends to support the Green Party [1].

>generated; while the generators are catching up to that, the voltage drops, which means the current increases to compensate...

Close- you won't see an increase in load of a synchronous machine operating at constant throttle manifest as a voltage sag, you'll see it manifest as a decrease in frequency (this generators literally slow down, like a guy on a bike going uphill). Voltage sags are more related to transmission line phenomenon.
In a teaching lab in 1995, I had to make a digital thermometer using a mcu. I wrote code that dynamically read the voltage drop on the sensor and calculated the temperature. It was fast enough and easy to calibrate. The code was small and easy to understand.

I didn’t pass because the point of the assignment was to use lookup tables, even though that was a more complex approach in this case :(

I think a lot of people are put off when they hear the “buzzword” web3. And that’s with good reason, it is a marketing term, and it can be used as smoke and mirrors tricks for things with no real utility.

I don’t think this is the case here, smart contracts actually provide a very valuable service for this use case!

The important thing to note is that these rental agreements usually cost a lot of money and logistics that are being made much more convenient using ethereum

Re: Your example about the car — you would likely never lend out a car to someone you have 0 trust in. But you might keep some deposit just in case something happens, just like a regular rental service would. Automating that for people is very useful in my opinion!

Logistical issues will get better over time, but this suffers from the same logistics problem as Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, etc. and these services are extremely popular

Re: describing it as a library vs Airbnb — I think a library is a useful description of this. We are trying to be closer to a protocol service for people to create a library with their friends and lend things out to people. I don’t see the issue with using “library” vs “Airbnb for stuff”

> Cryptocurrencies now represent well over a trillion dollars in wealth. NFTs have created an entire new market, and smart contracts over the blockchain can allow for exciting new ways to transact within the economy.

Okay.
This isn't necessarily true. The nuance in the third party vs. aligned party is by definition the distinction between them. Depending on what you prioritize an effective third party can force the aligned party to change.

From the point of view of the third party supporter, this would be exactly what you would want.

In other words, an effective third party can be a great catalyst toward making some minor (or major) change in the most closely aligned parties.

I'll admit some degree of ignorance on all of the considerations with introducing a new party. But on a surface-level, I welcome more competition for ideas/platforms/parties in the American political system.

My naive fantasy would be that an increased number of viable parties would have a knock-on effect of reducing polarization/tribalization in American political discourse, and hopefully spur bottoms up thinking on good policy. If there were 6 parties for instance, it would hopefully force voters out of the 'good party vs bad party' or 'us vs them' dynamics that a 2 party system invites.

Political allegiance is a social signal today, and there are pressures to not question the party your social group votes for lest you be confused to be a bad person of the other side. This doesn't invite holding government accountable when it's your side doing the questionable things.

If you don't believe NYT is liberal, you're just refusing to recognize the reality. You may love NYT, you may agree with what they say 100 times out of 100, which is fine, but it doesn't change the fact they are a liberal media outlet and have been since forever. If you ignore that, you're just voluntarily skewing your picture of reality. Maybe you think "liberal" means "bad" (which would be weird as I suspect your opinions are pretty liberal too) - or maybe you think it means "good" - but in fact it just means they follow certain ideology, and it's a very easily observable fact. Whether it's good, or bad, it's for the reader to decide, but whatever you position on this it it does not change the fact that the ideology exists and is followed.
I love “causation does not imply correlation.”

Sure, very little to disagree with, and moving on is fine, but I do want to make one small note: the reason I say threads are easier is that in almost every case you can take a multi-process model and turn it into an efficient multi-thread model with minimal effort. Threads give you more tools, and a lot of those tools are slow. And if a type of parallelism won't work with threads, it very likely won't work with anything else.

That's why it's sometimes called an "argument" or specifically a "cryptographic proof". You can construct the statement such that it can be "proven" in a traditional sense by adding qualifiers such as "with probability more than 1-1/(2^256)". You'll generally need an assumption like knowledge-of-exponent or at least hash soundness.
In cryptography you prove security through showing that an adversary has a negligible [1] chance of winning a game of guess the secret.

Ranked choice has a lot of advantages over the alternatives that are often underestimated by people too worried about theory.

The big advantage of ranked choice is that it is simple to understand and implement.

In elections, it is essential that the average person understand exactly how the system works. An election result that people don't understand/trust is worse than useless.

Ranked Choice (IRV) is better than Plurality, but there are better options.

Python 3.11 Will Get “Zero Cost” Exception Handling
The Condorcet Method has a huge disadvantage that it is hard to understand.

Being simple to understand is crucial for voting systems and I would argue is the most important factor since an election without public buy-in is worse than worthless.
Not the first cause, but involved. Before reading I expected to see some combination of (1) automation (2) DNS (3) BGP. I didn't expect to see all three and the special automatically disconnect the backbone from the internet with no other way for senior tech staff to get to the backbone, not even a secure dial-up console.

I think the general lesson here is for each thing you automate, assume that it can act in error and have another manual way to do what the automatic action prevents.
Back then, both Taiwan and Beijing claimed to be the true government of all of 'one' China.

The KMT then was anti-mainland. Today it's more pro-mainland.

China will not attack Taiwan unless there is good reason to. That would like destroying your own kitchen because it's infested with mice. You'd then have the cost of having to rebuild it. Easier to fix the mouse problem.

China has it's red lines over Taiwan. I doubt they'll let them be crossed.

As for Taiwan, I give them roughly a decade before they'll be clamouring to get onboard with the 'Number One' superpower on the mainland.

Yes, it doesn't explicitly state the rate or distribution of events. But it is a good reminder of what happens when your whatevers/second are pretty high - see the famous "One in a million is next Tuesday" [1]. "Rare" is soon if you roll the dice fast enough.

Any time your service has a high TPS, your API gets a lot of calls, a button in your app gets pressed a lot, ... this applies.

Critically, "a lot" is defined relative to your failure tolerance. It may actually be very fast or a lot, or not particularly fast but it really really needs to work.

It highlights the fallacy of equating "low probability" and "won't happen".

The idea is that there would be multiple layers preventing one set of routers from announcing routes for "all their ASes", correct or not.

The config database would reject routes for the wrong ASes. The router would reject it. The peers would be told "add filters so you only accept these ASes from these routers".

Maybe they have all that and it somehow broke anyway? But what it looks like from the outside is that all the ASes are controlled by the same system.
