My argument was based on the premise that votes from power users are more valuable as they better at judging the quality of the content. While the quality is partly subjective, it is not entirely so. Meaning power users, having more experience, know better what casual users should watch and would like then the casual users themselves. It is in the interest of the casual users for them to not be able to vote/their vote to count less.

I later suggested ways to make the hurdles for voting higher, which would fix the problems you mentioned. Required account age, maybe even how much content you need to have watched. Honestly, we could just filter out the people that only do 1/5 star votes. (With niche content of course there would be the issue of having no/just a few votes but voting would not be the only metric anyway.

I am very heretical towards common held UX believes and think trying to design for the lowest common denominator just results in all around awful experiences for everyone. We should rather strive to empower users.

> No-one was tried as the massacre was subject to the general amnesty granted for crimes committed during the Algerian War.

It has always been surprising to me that `they` could easily say these were crimes committed during the Algerian War while it happened in Paris and was a very local event in a very specific time frame.

Now, I know Papon wasn't acting completely on his own. He was the police prefect and acting directly under Debré's government and he stayed until 67. The fact that this man held this position, 20 years after ww2 is disturbing.

What's also disturbing (and not acceptable to the concerned parties) is that today's president still holds Papon as the sole responsible. He recognizes that Papon is responsible and that's all.

France is progressing at a glacial pace on its Algerian history.

Obsidian is great. I'm a paying supporter (catalyst and sync).

Weirdly I started playing with Emacs + org-mode recently (never been an Emacs user before!) and I'm seriously considering making it my exclusive "second brain".

Something about org-mode, org-babel, org-jupyter, org-agenda and org-roam that just clicks with me.
I guess it wasn't seen as important? How is them dying in Paris different from them dying in Algeria in the war? Hundreds of thousands were killed in that war, a hundred dead in Paris wouldn't be very notable.

Anyway, of course it is wrong for them to kill these Algerians etc. Just noting that at the time these numbers weren't eye catching, to them it was just this war spilling over the Mediterranean into Paris for a brief moment.

Edit: And to add, I am sure there were hundreds or even thousands of massacres like this being done in Algeria at the time. Some by French and some by the insurgents. It is unacceptable everywhere, but as I said such atrocities were common and not very notable at the time.
And the price! Homeopathic medicines are ridiculously expensive. So they must work, right? ;(

The most expensive sugar pills money can buy. Exploring the failings of homeopathic medicine:

He then continued his presentation without so much as a yawn, despite the supposed effects of dozens of pills floating through his body. This anticlimactic demonstration raises the question: what exactly was in those sleeping pills?

In my case, dinks. And aside from the basics of budgeting, I think there's a huge difference in mindset that would make it difficult to FIRE with kids. You are making a decision to reduce your children's opportunities because you don't want to keep struggling. It's much easier to decide for yourself when enough lifestyle is enough, but much harder to decide that music lessons or language exchange trips or a college fund or a generous baby shower gift are not needed for the kiddo.
I have a problem in mind I want to solve.

Oh, they go offline alright so that I can’t use them, but since that didn’t reduce power consumption, I’m not sure if the cores are actually switched off. Or if that’s even an option.
I'll add that we expect software to work on highly heterogeneous systems, too.

He spent a lot of time working to make “good” houses more affordable, and was constantly pushing the limits on materials and techniques, which is a large reason why his houses are such maintenance nightmares 70+ years later.

> Capitalizing on Wright’s Prairie style, regarded as the first truly American style of architecture, the houses—of which there were seven to choose from—were promoted as the quintessential American home. Sherwood Anderson, the nationally acclaimed novelist who at the time was an unknown copywriter, wrote in 1917 for a Tribune ad, “We want you to understand how the genius of this man has made it possible for every home builder to build beautifully without spending more to achieve beauty than he now spends on senseless ugliness.”

Well, both. I'm building and running this: https://search.marginalia.nu/

Paid the server out of pocket, built the code all by myself.

I do take donations that currently just about cover the running costs, but at this surplus it will take me something like 30 years to get back the hardware investment (assuming no hardware fails in the interim and running costs don't increase).

Don't take this as complaining, it's just a statement of facts. I'm incredibly grateful that so many people are supporting it.
The tools that we in the west developed and honed to perfection, now seem to be used against us more and more by Russia, China and every other state and failed state that we can think of.

The best example of how we utterly lost to propaganda is how Bin Laden was able to lure the West into a needless and excessive war that drained our resources and created more resentment against us than ever before.

Sure he should have been apprehended.

But invading two countries, one on a false pretext and another on an intangible one? Beware: he wanted us to come into this fight because he knew there would be no clear way for us to “win” it.
So, this was true until the 30's or so.

So it's possible that this was passed down the generations as fact. It's not true any more though.
I'm not talking about ICs, who are the grunts and sit at the bottom of the pyramid with little autonomy or budgetary discretion. I'm talking about the leadership and management of course.
He probably wasn't. Notice that the communications were always by someone "representing" him, but the most probable isnthat he had an office with a lot of Jr architects who would work on those assignments (with some guidelines and templates done by him, or more senior architects).
He probably thought he could scale up and get more volume (and steady revenue stream) working on those small/medium projects as the bigger ones are more rare (even for a big architect). This is an error.
Consultancy (I work in the industry) are similar in method to the architecture office, as it depends a lot on people and there is not much you can do to scale up without having to scale your workforce. And even worse, small clients (as we see by the librarian in the story) are usually very high maintenance.
For that reason consultancies don't like (or simply don't work) with startups, as they will have less revenue but more work per client, so the scale up is tricky.

I do. I don't see how your comment addresses what I wrote though.
> The main difference between programming and engineering is unfortunately that no one wants you to build the same thing over and over. So you have no idea if it will work until you build it.

In between there is the radical idea of writing code carefully, testing, and documenting it before shipping it. All of us as programmers want to do that, but we have all worked under management that insisted on the opposite.
One point that resonates is the dual-headed theft/storage problem. I own a road bike that I would not lock up at my local train station (in a safe suburb just north of NYC). So, wanting to bike to the station means I need/want a cheaper bike that I can afford to lose or repair if it's vandalized.

I'd love to see some sort of locker system. Smart-phone or FOB lock/unlock. Storage space wide and tall enough for an average commuter bike. But I'm sure that system would suck up extra space in the station parking lot and subsequently be DOA for the vast majority of folks who just want to drive their SUVs to the station.
LIDAR will make this system inoperable in rain and snow.

The vision has to be good enough to handle this type of situations with acceptable error rate.

Also, sensor fusion is difficult - LIDAR does not see colors, Radar is just weird.

Adding more complexity will eliminate some bugs, and result in new bugs.

While it's minor compared to the message from the article, there's a tech angle too: Swiss Crypto AG was the provider of backdoored encryption tech for Indonesia, which ultimately allowed the black propaganda to be so effective.
Managing a co-op is much more difficult. Basically, it depends on people. Where your view are very much aligned, you can do quite well. Where I live there are many green co-ops run by people with similar views and aims, and there is a sense of community. In this way you increase the chances of success. Also there is some relationship between the people who run the co-op and the customers.

If this sense of community is lacking and people think about themselves mainly (as it normally happens), you can't make any meaningful decision. So in this case a more traditional business is likely to give much better results.

I used to live in the Netherlands, now in a major US city. Always biked to everywhere.

Dutch bikes (price/use vs price/use) are absolutely heavier, noticeably so.

I spend about 1500 on my daily bike. The average Dutch Bike in the Netherlands is ~12-14kg. My bike here in the US right now is 9.6kg. My nicer bike is 7.8kg.

Like others have mentioned, _it matters_. My ride has significant uphill portions both ways (due to one way streets). It sucks on a heavy bike, and it sucks on a bike without fairly aggressive gearing. Carrying the bike up 8 flights of stairs is not fun, and throwing on an extra 3kg after a long ride is... ick. Not to mention the top tube design on some of them makes carrying a Dutch Bike more difficult.

It wasn't mentioned in other posts, but riding upright going uphill is rather unpleasant as well. Trying to overcome that discomfort with a lean on a "Dutch Bike" just compounds the discomfort.

To the other points - Streets in the Netherlands were flatter. Bike theft was MUCH less problematic. Climbing stairs to get to your home was less common.

None of these things are a knock on Dutch Bikes. It's a different tool for a different place.

Maybe if you're commuting in Kansas, Texas or Florida then a Dutch Bike makes sense. If you're in a major American coastal city then it's unequivocally the wrong choice.

The OP's point stands IMO: buy the right tool for the right job.

It's true it doesn't use much CPU in percentage terms... but wakeups are expensive.

When I'm reading a web page, ideally my CPU is halted, using barely any power. With the screen dim, I might be hoping for 20 hours battery life in that state.

To wake up, just to poll something, and go back to sleep again uses a lot of energy compared to doing nothing. Something polling a few times a second might reduce my 20 hours down to just 10.
Placebo is very powerful and is actually validated by scientific research.

So when the conditions are here, as they seemingly were for your daughters, it's great.

Yet, homeopathy, when considered as a potent product, didn't help, because it is not potent. The conditions enabling the placebo effect did. And no one would complain about that :)

The problem arises when homeopathy is sold and marketed as potent _per se_.
It's paid which is a bit off-putting, but maybe I shouldn't be so cheap.

This is because you have culture which encourages performance.

Once you enable parasitism other cultures also arise, which discourage performance, and the people of those cultures just don't have that notion.

They may even look attractive. Think hippies. They surely look better and have greater outlook than wage slaves, housewives or salesmen.

And that trend is notoriously hard to reverse. Even in EU they have massive problems with even getting some minorities to attend school.

Sure you can easily implement that in Obsidian. It's simply a traditional file directory structure of markdown files.

The fault is within a decadent culture that has stopped striving for excellence as an ideal and demanding quality as an underlying mental tenet.

The "performance indicators" are often calibrated permissively towards a "very pessimistic perspective taken as realism" which lets ample pools of bestiality in. When this becomes "locally" systemic, it will be a chocker for the individual potential, systemically misfit.

Do all people want power? Seems like Nietzsche would probably agree, but Damocles would voice objections.

Seems like what most people want is something more akin to self-determination. It isn't quite power, and it isn't quite freedom, but somewhere in the middle.

What is self determination? Having the freedom to do what you want to do is the same as having the power to do what you want to do.

Having the power to attract your desired mate is also a power, and it involves showing you have power.

Hmm, not a fan of how they completely

a) minimise the terror perpetrated on civilians by Indonesian infiltrators during Sukarno's Konfrontasi

b) deny the Indonesians' agency, it's rather colonial to think that the anti-communist purges were predicated on British agitprop, when in reality the military and Islamists were highly fearful of PKI, especially when Sukarno wanted to arm them as an almost Red Guard style militia.
