Thanks for this. Your argument is really simple (in a positive, elegant way) that it functions as a framework to rebuke most conspiracy theories people spew out nowadays. I've just never been able to present it so cleanly.

In my experience, US tax residency (as a solely German citizen) is enough for German and Swiss banks to cancel services. So dual citizenship likely won't help.

You may misrepresent your tax status towards the bank, but I'd assume that takes you on risky grounds, legally.

Sure, call them out in an emergency. This isn't one.
> The politicians are awful, but in a democracy, the fault for that lies 100% with the people.

Yes and no. Yes in that the politicians are selected from people they represent (in theory), but also no in that once a person becomes a politician, their incentives change and they are no longer representing the people that elected them.

Further, once in power, the systems can be "rigged" into maintaining that power (gerrymandering is an example of this). DJT couldn't become King of America without first becoming president. Once he became president, though, he definitely tried to rig the system to make him, effectively, King of America.

Based on this post, apparently citizenship is also voluntary. You might say that giving up citizenship is difficult and expensive, but you should talk to someone who has gone through a divorce.

I would also counter that citizenship also almost always necessitates an emotional element. Citizenship is a primary part of many people's identity, and identity is the most emotionally charged thing of all.

I don’t remember him ever directly apologising, although he was nice to me afterwards (and this was many years ago, memories get hazy). I think he was rather embarrassed by the whole incident, it turned out to be such a basic configuration issue and it took them so long to solve it. I only knew about the whole “sneaking in at night” allegation because my boss told me what he’d said at meetings to which I wasn’t invited, and I don’t think my boss was supposed to tell me what was said in those meetings, so I’m not even sure if he knew that I knew he’d accused me

> Fwiw, if you are arguing for a review of how existing laws should apply to crypto, I'm fully on board.

Yes, I think we are on the same page. I don't think crypto should be, or it is even possible to be, the wild west, indefinitely. Something should be in place, but we should have some clarity, and it would be great if the organization coming up with the laws understands the technology at a technical level. Gary Gensler seems promising, but time will tell.
Do they really? I only ever hear about how its the best iPhone camera they have ever made. Yes, they talk about how their AI is able to adjusts exposure, color tone, etc. Do they actually talk about how a macro is taken in such detail as focus stacking etc?

You're misusing the term affordance (not blaming you, Don Norman himself has written about how it's constantly misused).

You can wave your hand over anything (unless something is blocking your way or is too far, etc.), therefore most stuff affords being waved over.

A mug, with or without a handle, affords "being held with your hand"(although more or less comfortably).

What you're talking about is a signifier.

Quoting from a random article:

As Don Norman explains it: “[…] although affordances make sense for interaction with physical objects, they are confusing when dealing with virtual ones. As a result, affordances have created much confusion in the world of design. Affordances define what actions are possible. Signifiers specify how people discover those possibilities: signifiers are signs, perceptible signals of what can be done. Signifiers are of far more importance to designers than are affordances.” [Donald A. Norman, The Design of Everyday Things: Revised and Expanded Edition, 2013, pXIV-XV]

This is an interesting happenstance in the Rust community that I think is largely cultural rather than technical. Backlash against some figurative idea of OOP is popular. ECS is popular as the messianic retort to that OOP figure. But when you look at it from an architectural standpoint, ECS is quite possibly one of the hardest things to do in Rust compared to other designs. Let me get this straight - you want to avoid shared mutability but you have all your gamestate in centralized stores? That systems will necessarily have to have shared, mutable access to? Possibly concurrently? I think it's a good idea architecturally, but also I think it's a tough problem to solve, and I think the claims that Rust lends itself to that architecture are false. It's even tougher in Rust than in other languages, I'd say. And though I've read the source code to many Rust ECS libraries, they all do it in different ways, and all of them feel like hacks.

I definitely feel like the most "rustic" way to do game design, just based on what's easy to do in the language itself without resorting to workarounds, is to have individual actors maintain their individual state, and then have a common interface via a trait that would call update() or render() virtually in a loop or whatever. Then have them message each other via mpsc channels. That's pretty much rust straight from the book, and, it's also a bog standard GameObject architecture straight outta the 2000s.
I think that's a PRETTY uncharitable analogy and interpretation of the OP's actions.

I would say it's more like:

You are walking down the street, and notice that there is a public noticeboard. It has a list of names, yours among them, associated with a number of steps each. It instructs you to walk a certain number of steps down the street, and then look up at the paper taped to the sidewalk that many steps down.

So, you do, and upon looking down, you see some personal information about yourself! You are a little perplexed, since this doesn't seem very secure. So you take one step back, and look down. Wow, yep, not very secure, there's information there too!

Being a human, you are naturally a little nosy and curious, and as these are publicly posted, after all, you glance through a couple more before finally regaining control of your better sense of civic duty, and report to the owner of the notice board that there is a problem with their "security".

I think this is a better analogy because:

* browsing to a web page is NOT the same thing as going into someone's house.
* the internet is public.
* there was CLEARLY no malicious intent. The OP clearly didn't harm or intend to harm anyone here, even if perhaps he should have immediately stopped when he began to suspect the website had a flaw and he shouldn't be able to see this information. I see no evidence of malice here.

I do agree that in general, just because a system responds 200 OK, you're not necessarily clear to do anything you want when when you're doing is obviously wrong. But at the same time, we should NOT be prosecuting or blaming people when they're able to access more than they're supposed to be able to PLAINLY due to the software's design insufficiencies and there's otherwise clearly no intent to cause harm.

We really need to take a more even-handed approach to this. And, we REALLY need some kind of a professional bar in software engineering. I would expect a student in their final year of CS to be able to produce a more secure system than what the OP described, so the fact that it exists in a quasi-government website is a complete fucking joke, if you'll pardon my language.
I think the linux marketshare among devs is still increasing, even with WSL available. WSL is in fact one of Microsoft's attempts to lure back developers to their OS, or never make them switch.

For some folks, like you, this might actually work. But they've lost me as a user since more than a decade and I doubt I'll come back out of my own volition. Even with WSL, Windows is full of bloat, slowness, and I am fully exposed to Microsoft's user-harming antipatterns.
I would like there to at least be clarity on which basket it falls into, if not a new category.

There's some interesting data in there. If you look at the supplemental info, note that this year is well on track to be bracketed within the top ten hottest years on record:

> "This graphic compares the year-to-date temperature anomalies for 2021 (black line) to what were ultimately the ten warmest years on record: 2016 (1st), 2020 (2nd), 2019 (3rd), 2015 (4th), 2017 (5th), 2018 (6th), 2014 (7th), 2010 (8th), 2013 (9th), and 2005 (10th)."

Now, consider the lag effect on climate response and atmospheric forcing (i.e. the ocean absorbs a fair amount of the extra heat, but as the ocean warms, that heat gets injected back into the atmosphere, especially polewards, so there's a lag time before current atmospheric forcings are full realized, and that's a multidecade effect, so we won't feel today's forcing completely for decades, even a century).

Conclusion as I see it: every year for the next 50 years is going to be bracketed in the top ten hottest years, meaning the years 2030-2040 will all be hotter than 2010-2020 and so on. Decade by decade for the rest of the lives of people alive today, this will continue - and while getting off fossil fuels is needed, is indeed the only way to slow this trend, it's only going to slow down the year-to-year increase.

Additionally, as polar melt proceeds, permafrost melt and outgassing becomes self-sustaining even if humans completely stop fossil fuel use and deforestation.

Practically, this means adaptation is simply a must. People have to move out of flood plains, waste treatment plants in low-lying coastal zones needed to be moved uphill, people need to realize the global refugee crisis is going to be 10X as bad as anything seen yet at least, perhaps a steady rate of 1,000,000 per year fleeing climate disaster zones.

In reality we are heading back to climate conditions last seen ~3-5 million years ago, before the ice ages set in, with sea levels dozens of meters higher than they are now. Nobody likes to hear this it seems, but the science does seem to be saying that this has already happened, sort of.

I don't think repairability is the big deal here. It's the customizable ports.

Pretty much everyone's laptop has at least one port they literally never use, and is missing a port they wished it had. E.g. I'll literally never use the SD card slot, nor the 1/8" audio jack, but right now I really wish it had one oldschool USB port. In a year or two, it might be nice to swap that out for an extra usb-C.

This laptop design is a dongle-eliminator.
Sad story but the author did not show sound judgement even on the way out. Very foolish to throw away money by allowing options with a significant premium expire.

Not really, or rather, it depends on who's calling what an echo chamber. If someone's using it to shut down discussion, then yeah sure. But if you can't recognize when you're in one, then you're the one losing out. This is especially important when interacting with sales people, who benefit greatly from customers who won't or can't or don't look critically at their product offerings, and if their prices are at all reasonable.
Anti-press goes back decades, centuries even.

Calling it a left/right issue just diverts from the real problem of government overreach and negative reaction to the exposure of malfeasance.

If you seriously think anti-press is a Trump phenomenon, I encourage you to look into the creation and use of the Alien and Sedition acts.

Or maybe how Lincoln treated press that was not acting as a propaganda arm of the Federal government.

If you want a more contemporary example, take a look at Obamas use of wiretapping against journalists and other attacks on press freedom.

When you treat this as a thing that only happens because of one "side", nothing is done to address the root cause.

One challenge I remember from when I was working on Windows desktop software was the challenge of maintaining version numbers and working with WiX installers to manipulate the Windows MSI database.

Is that moving the goal posts a bit? Your point was that Apple is somehow pretending they're not using software to create this effect -- if they say they're using AI/etc. to do it, it seems to me like they're not misleading their customers. I don't think the requirement is that they explain exactly how it works in technical detail.

I don't think they did any sort of deep dive on their macro tech, but in the past yes, they have gone into some detail about how their image processing works behind the scenes.
