>If there are puppet masters in the world, they surely are happy when we fight amongst ourselves.

History has shown this to be true.

I think the biggest problem is that a generation of both left and right wingers have not been taught proper civics and history of how this country has and continues to operate.

Some of the left is rediscovering this history now and is fighting the right who either already know the history and seem to want to keep remnants of it (probably not a majority) and the other half that has not experienced how others live in this country.

I wish you would have actually addressed any of my points. It seems like it is a waste of time to spend the time to type these things out.
Apologies. Mike had confirmed it with three other sources, after my initial tweet. There were apparently ‘security barriers’ and it’s not clear yet what those were.
No, I would like to see the story down, not The Guardian. Also I don't agree with that article. I find it bizarre that a usually left leaning publication would condone with child labour.

Well, YMMV. I looked into permit-free structures in one California county. 1. 120 ft^2 max, outside dimensions. 2. No electricity > 30VDC. 3. No plumbing. 4. No wood-burning appliances.

You could still squeeze an office or studio into something like that. But it is easy to trip over a code-requirement that needs a permit.
I cannot attest as an expert, but I learned something about your phone carrier would actually be punished by the FCC for not connecting the call of a scammer. It’s possible your carrier knows it’s fishy but has to let it through due to large government getting in it’s own way.
I think few people would deny that there are some benefits for some people from alcoholic beverages, but can we really say, with all honesty, that its benefits outweigh its harms?

Like most addictive substances, the negative health benefits don't manifest themselves immediately, but often after years or decades, and those who haven't suffered claim all the benefits while the harms loom on the horizon. They change their tune later in life...sometimes.

As for the other harms, such as the amplification of violence, the loss of mental faculties – that same "social greasing" is the removal of inhibitions, including those that prevent people from committing certain crimes or harm against other people. How many alcohol-fueled rages would it take to make the equation flip for someone?

If the argument is that it is fine as long as it is done responsibly, how do we police that?

Will alcohol always be around? Of course. It's something that cannot be avoided, even in societies that have banned it for one reason or another. But to welcome it with all its complications, just because one enjoys it, and closing a blind eye to the harms, is imprudent.

And is alcohol truly a good solution as a self-medicant? I think you are spinning that as a net positive, but I highly doubt this is a professional's opinion on that matter, such as a therapist or a doctor.

Finally, to equate a negative view of alcohol as "...removing anything tasteful, fun, stupid..." and "...total boredom..." – to be honest, this is reducto ad absurdium, isn't it? If nothing is fun if there's no alcohol, then I think there's a different problem.
This is one of the best lay-explanations of manifolds I’ve seen. Nice!

I just wish I could *7726 to report that the last call received was spam. Let the carriers figure out who to block since they connected the circuit. I’m sure if I called the Whitehouse with fake caller I’d and made a threat the secret service would track me down in a heartbeat. The problem is not that they can’t, it’s that they make money by not doing it
The ability to be open minded yet still trying to come up with various models is key imo.
> It will just block foreign phone companies from pretending to have US phone numbers, which seems like it should have been done long ago.

That sounds potentially useful for legitimate business process outsourcing.
This is true for all problems people face. Ultimately, the genetic lottery predetermines a wide berth of our experience. Our environment determines the rest. If society wants to change behavior it finds deviant or unhealthy, its main tools are science-based interventions and leveraging its ability to manipulate the context within which people live.

The perennial issue is finding and designing the right levers to get the results that are wanted. Prohibition didn't work, moralistic pressure doesn't work, education doesn't work. The right incentives need to be discovered, and I think an acceptance that humans have a need for changing their state of mind will lead closer to answers.

this is right. driving down costs is crucial in science (and other fields actually). as software grows more sophisticated, this will happen.

AWS is NOT doing much of the streaming for Netflix. They do their own streaming. AWS is just for their management infrastructure.
I'd expect 1-2 drinks a day to be pretty far up there in the distribution where 0 (abstention) is the minimum. There'd be a spike at 0, then a drop, and then a gently sloping upward curve, maybe flattening to a local minimum somewhere lower than 1-2 drinks per day before climbing again. I'd be in there somewhere. I drink occasionally, but orders of magnitude less than 1-2 drinks per day. More like go to a user group 1x or 2x a month and have a drink or two there, or maybe lift a few with buddies after work with similar frequency. With that stuff curtailed by the pandemic, it drops to near 0. That's not abstention, it just doesn't come up.

I think that has to be typical of a significant chunk of population. People on the wagon due to alcoholism exist but are likely to be a smaller group.
Ironically the best option if you want a secure, private phone is usually to buy a Google Pixel phone, then install GrapheneOS on it. Technically you can use plain old AOSP, but GrapheneOS is probably the better option because:

* You can re-lock the bootloader after installing it for security (unlike AOSP which is not signed by Google).

* It has additional security/privacy protections on top of AOSP, like the ability to disable the "Internet" permission for individual apps.

* It supports Play Services in a secure sandbox to allow for much greater app compatibility (since most Android apps in the Play Store require Play Services). The only way to add support for these apps to AOSP is to install the "Google privacy invading software" you mentioned on top of it, and grant it special privileges over your phone (otherwise it will refuse to run). While the Play Services sandbox feature of GrapheneOS requires installing Play Services on your phone, it not granted any special permissions; it's treated just like any other app. GrapheneOS simply lies to Play Services, telling it that it has special permissions when it actually doesn't. Pretty clever solution! And if you're not comfortable even with this low risk version of Play Services, you can simply choose to stick to F-Droid, but it's nice to have the option if you need it. You can even install sandboxed Play Services in an isolated profile to keep it separate from your main apps if you want.

https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-play-services

Edit: AOSP also has no backup/restore options, while GrapheneOS has Seedvault.

I also found a fun video that provides a glimpse at what raw AOSP really looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWaAilxX28g&t=306s

It doesn't even have a setup wizard.
Welp, I guess it's not for me. I'm unable to upgrade my Microsoft Service Pro (2017) as the CPU is not supported. Which is odd, the CPU is more than capable and all the other requirements are met. I get the feeling of planned obsolescence.
This is very interesting....
A friend and I have been back and forthing in a jocular way with various permutations of pop psychology type quizzes that we all see online or where ever...
example:
what would you rather be...
A) smart
B) lucky
C) wise
D) rich
E) in love
etc etc.
you get the idea. Just goofing.
we did not think to include curious, which, dang, is a good one. But the list gets long after a while.

Also, I have had this discussion with my Dad, who is 93, and he always tells me how smart I am, of course he is my Dad, but I always tell him how wise he is and how much I want him to share his wisdom with me.

I suppose, most likely, the answer has something to do with where you are in life, but me, being 64, and my Dad being 93, I long for his wisdom. But, then I have nephews, in their 20's who wish for the wealth I have.

It's interesting. I wish I had some wisdom, or truth for you. Sorry. Just observations.
I posit that you've just found the name or class of elixir of our times. I'm not denying that life expectancy can be increased due to advances in science, healthcare, medicine, and lifestyle changes. But there's a difference between extending by a few years or even decades every century or so and immortality. We will discover other aspects that become limiting factors. Aging as "just another biological process" is a drastic oversimplification in my opinion and I think the more accurate statement is our understanding of aging has grown, but I doubt it's complete.
Great share, and incidentally I view this as a model of good documentation. It was interesting, long but not too long, engaging, very well illustrated, and also appealed to people who wanted to drill down further.

Are those Blizzard apps on iOS, or on the Mac? As far as I know, on iOS, you have to offer in-app purchases for subscriptions, unless you meet specific criteria -- you may be able to offer subscriptions outside IAP in addition, but you need to let people buy in the app. (On the Mac, though, none of this really applies.)

My thoughts exactly. I don't know if this person has actually experienced the M1 in a thorough sense but my suspicion is probably no.

To this day there still exists a cadre who think Apple users are idiots for spending so much money on a computer. Many of them have not seriously taken a look at what the platform offers and they do not fully comprehend why people choose this platform over others.

Regarding the "We could also stop writing shit software." quote, it seems as if there has been a wave of optimization over the last decade just out of necessity. (electron notwithstanding)

It is not enough, components that are written in fast languages such as the OS have generally gotten slower. We are forced to upgrade due to security and I don't see any incentive for companies to improve this part of the software stack. You can use other desktop apps that are faster but you only really have 2-3 choices in OS and that dictates everything else you can do with your computer.

Was running Windows 11 on the Parallels Desktop on M1 and it seems snappy but not as snappy as MacOS. I noticed this same behavior on Windows 10 running on a core i7. It seems as if the design of the OS has some bloat that I cannot explain clearly but can definitely feel. We should consider that maybe Apple has been also optimizing software to be more performant.
Standards control has been never always direct since JScript days, the dominant players do what they please, and by the nature of dominance web app developers have to comply follow their tools, and standards get established de-facto.

Specifically, moves like changes in manifest V3 and removal of chrome.webRequest is aimed squarely at adblocking, Forcing DRM in HTML5 is a step in this direction as well and can become dangerous in conjunction with AV1 enhancements .

For example it may become feasible to dynamically mux content and ad streams without a separate network request if encoding is not as expensive as H264 today with AV1 . Coupled with DRM on HTMl5 it would be impossible for any plugin as streams will never be exposed available for "Piracy reasons". Even HDMI has support for DRM , the only analog/open/accessible format left will be the light stream to your eyes.
Windows 11 is the OS that is pushing me to go fully to Linux.
Additionally, the problems that held back WSL1 performance still exist, and WSL1 wasn't their only victim. So Microsoft has abandoned WSL1, but they still need to address those underlying problems. Only now, if they do successfully deal with those issues (most likely as part of their DirectStorage effort and cloning io_uring), we're unlikely to see WSL1 updated to benefit—even though that might result in WSL1 becoming a better user experience than WSL2.

It was a serious question. I didn't realize so many people relied on WhatsApp for communication outside the US.

I also find your argument specious, because you can continue that train of logic with any modern technology.

I don't think communication is comparable to food and water, but I wouldn't say it's a negligible impact on a person, especially since we don't know the circumstances of what happened during those six hours and how many services rely on it outside of Western nations. And by the looks of it, a few million people rely on it.

Facebook going down is a minor inconvenience. Facebook Chat and WhatsApp going down are a bit more serious.

One of the best things about modern science is that we’re learning how different peoples minds work. It seems pretty clear that a lot of what has been attributed to lack of “willpower” is more accurately explained by differences in learning styles and access to social networks. Giving so much weight to this “willpower” thing seems misplaced in this light.
Yes, but that is inverse here after all. Only If they disclose this report the share price is going to go down.

Without a leak we would have never needed or gotten to know this report, so logically keeping it hidden/buried was the best course of action with regards to shareholder value ?

A valid suit maybe about their poor security/ control processes for their Workplace tools that lead this leak.

Shareholders could perhaps sue saying they should not fund such research/ buried it well etc, not sure a court/judge would look nicely on a such a suit.
No I do not. And I’m sorry that the incumbent monopolist in third world countries is such a shit show that anyone has to suffer for their incompetence. Doesn’t change the reality that Facebook is the only game in town in the developing world because they worked very hard to make it that way.

Tell you what: I’ll be more empathetic to victims of the great Facebook outage of 2021 if you can be more empathetic to the mother I lost to covid after refusing to get vaccinated on account of memes she saw on Facebook. Deal?

Because if you go that far you deny the whole concept of individuality and humanity even, up on which all of our moral and legal system were built. What are we but cogs in a machine?

It's not that there isn't any logic in it, it's just not an useful thing to contemplate about while you obviously still cling on to your sense of self so far as to having an argument with others.

> You realize that USA is already economically dependent on China, right?

This is a naive analysis.

The facts are that:

- China imports about half of its food and energy, the US doesn't

- China has blocked capital exports since 2016, so there's no point in selling into the China market for foreign companies.

- The CCP is afraid of even 1% unemployment, let alone 10%, due to stability concerns. The corona plague plus unemployment equals their loss of "the mandate of heaven."

The exception is if the CCP decides to sacrifice half their population, which Mao once said (and Xi is a clone of Mao.)

The US can and should decouple from China, like Japan is. When Trump gets re-elected for his third term, expect it.

The anonymous reporting is never really anonymous if it comes from a device on the VPN. I've heard they don't do anything about it when it is reported. I might give that a try next time, but I doubt it will make a difference based on what some others have said about past experiences.

Yeah, I've seen a lot of the BLS stuff. I'd love to see some more location specific stuff. It's really not unusual for a skilled tradesman like an electrician, plumber, or mechanic to be making over $75k in my area and yet it seems that many of the Dev jobs are around that salary. Specifically when looking at wealth, I wonder if lifestyle plays a large role. I feel like many of the tradesmen I know like to spend that money on somewhat expensive hobbies and don't know as much about investing (ie college grads generally take a an econ course).

I don't know. I guess I'm just jaded and burnt out.

Normally, the lake is a bit sparse from what I read. suckerfish and arctic char mostly. Maybe some other introduced salmonids, eels. One article suggests sturgeon.

However, the migratory salmon and salmonids probably are there once or twice a year in good numbers.

A giant creature migrating to and from the ocean, one round trip per year would probably be noticed cruising through downtown Inverness. Or more likely climbing over the Dochfour Weir. There is simply no getting past the weir without being exposed.
You have to be careful turning something as large as Facebook back on. If you turn on announcements one place first, the entire internet will try to reach you through a single transit and overwhelm it.
