You are completely misreading what I said.

I said it was my opinion. I didn't say anything about me actually restricting people because I don't. If such a beach exists, I don't go there. I don't tell people that they can't go there. So your claim that I would restrict the liberties of others is not correct. It seems like a baseless accusation to discredit me.

You claim that allowing people to go topless at a beach does not affect me, but it does. It makes it so I can't go to that beach without seeing things I don't want to see, so thus, I don't go to that beach.

Also, saying that not allowing toplessness at a beach is a completely arbitrary rule is also disingenuous because there's a completely non-arbitrary reason: to cover up private parts of a body.

The claim that "this is safe for surgeons, and current data suggest that we can safe hundreds of thousands of lives (and we could have, the US are by far the country with the most COVID cases and deaths)" is so far not shown to be true in all cases. In some cases, yes. In others, no.

For surgeons, they change their masks frequently and wear them in the environment they were designed for. Out in the real world? Not so much.

How much do masks actually help? When it comes to children, it appears not at all. For adults, the claim that masks work appear to only consider one variable: does it reduce the transmission of COVID. That is not enough; in science, all factors matter [1], and the scientists seem focused on that one factor to the detriment of all of the others, such as carbon dioxide intake [2] or how masks might expose wearers to more bacteria [3].

If scientists came out and said, "Here's the data, here's the factors we considered, here's the factors we did not consider," then I might listen. But they don't. Instead, they make claims that just one factor matters, which is not scientific at all.

Also, you claim that these things affect other people's health? By how much? What are the numbers? How much more than vaccinated people? How much more than masked people? If you can't provide those numbers, then why should I believe you?

There have been big sporting events without masks, but we're not seeing the massive spike in cases afterwards.

In other words, I think your arguments are completely disingenuous, that they try to draw parallels where there is none, accuse me of authoritarianism for an opinion I hold but do nothing to actually enforce, and actually desire to exercise authoritarianism with few numbers to actually back up your claims.

By the way, the Nazis allowed a bit of nudity, but they also coerced medical practices.

Radios and newspapers also did not present themselves as a way for the average person to make themselves heard. But you are onto something here - the problem is that there is a massive disparity in the power of an individual's discourse versus a radio or newspaper.

Now look at YouTube and Twitter. They amplify the voices of many average people, but only those who tow their political line. This makes it appear as though some ideas are more widely supported than they actually are. It's the same problem as with radio and newspapers, but it is exacerbated more than 1000 fold.
The demand became a lot more lopsided for several reasons:

* consumers were shifting spending from experiences that would've been COVID impacted (holiday travel, entertainment venues, restaurants) to online shopping

* industrial supply chains in Asia were the least impacted by COVID due to the relative lack of explosion in cases there compared to the rest of the world, so we are legitimately shipping more from there and exporting less

* a good chunk of the medical equipment that has been necessitated by COVID (e.g. masks) is made in Asia and that has made demand even more lopsided

* there was a ship backlog because COVID impacted how ships were getting unloaded, and at one point they weren't sending back ships with empty containers to reduce turnaround times, and now there are not enough containers in China and too many in the US.

So far all you have provided is an insinuation that Freedom House meeting attendees are controlled by the CIA years later.

The article you linked doesn't back up your claim either. It says, "No one doubts that the Arab uprisings are home grown, rather than resulting from 'foreign influence,' as alleged by some Middle Eastern leaders."

Yes it sucks for that guy, with one of best opening scenes of any cinema we cannot help feel bad for that guy. However economically it is bad for that city/country that he does not move.

We can of course choose to say we want quality of life over economic comforts modern economy offers, until our holiday shopping is stuck in the ports because of viewshed(!) regulations.

The cold truth is if only very rich do that it won't affect much, if however everyone also starts, the economy will suffer and eventually as a result of that quality of life will also drop, everything becomes expensive and industry/jobs go to places that don't restrict as much.

Look at Healthcare in U.S. for stark example, insurance(tied to employment!) or proper care is a luxury is out of reach of for many people, that on average citizens here actually may be getting poorer care than many other countries with poorer per capita GDP . The best in world research or care is possible in the U.S. what is the use if people cannot afford it ?
No. But if an entity C keeps publishing whistleblower documents from company A but not B, it’s reasonable to wonder if C is in fact not a neutral actor.

Yes, hence Tyrian purple, from Tyre in Lebanon. Han purple comes from ~1000 BC[1].

But we were talking about regal purple, which I'm fairly certain was an outcome of Roman sumptuary laws. Eventually only the emperor could wear it. Yes, Tyrian purple predates the Romans, but it was merely a luxury good rather than a symbol of empire.

The GDP isn't a magical number that rises by making people suffer. It rises because NIMBYs are unable to force others to struggle by keeping them out of their economically advantageous land.

I don’t expect many minds to change. I predict the “‘private’ [misnomer] companies can do what they want [broadly false]” crowd to dig in and rationalize why art is not a special case.

The reason why the focus was on the first one is because that was the easiest and fastest to do (You only need local officials to sign off on it because its a temporary order and its also the simplest). 2 and 3 need the federal government to organize it, which as a large organization takes some time. 4 and 5 requires figuring out contract terms (who's paying whom, etc). These are much more complex and therefore will take more time. Oh and the tweetstorm was done on a Friday on the West Coast, so it takes some time to get the attention of decision makers on the east coast.

So this is less efficient than something like pumped hydro for energy storage, yeah? But what about the density? Or maybe a better question is how does energy/m^3 storage compare between pumped hydro and fuel synthesis? Could we do some kind of closed-loop combustion process where we capture the exhaust gas then re-synthesize the fuel? Or are the conversion losses just too great?

Industrial processes have a large surface area of different risks and hazards, and physical distance from where people live is a good way to mitigate all of them. Eg. Explosions, toxic chemical spills, electrical noise, air pollution etc.

They also need heavy transport, which wears out road infrastructure much more quickly than light vehicles. Keeping residential streets largely clear of heavy traffic means you can focus repairs and replacements of road surfaces in the industrial areas.

Zoning isnt the only way to solve these problems, but it's a good one
Music visualization is really underdeveloped in my opinion. I've never seen anything I find impressive. The problem is it never really looks very much like the visualization relates to the music I'm listening too. Usually you just kind of see the rythm of the music at most. I want to see something where harmonies look like beautiful patterns, noise looks like noise , and perhaps you could even pick out individual instruments in the visualization. It's really difficult though, which I guess is why it hasn't been done. You need to re-implement much of human audio perception, and then map that to a visual language.
I wonder what Google's take on this is. The system is so incomprehensibly complicated they can hide behind that. The FB relationship to me seems like it would be harder to explain away.

Maybe Google could say they are including quality & spam in their winning bid selection instead of only highest price.

Also conversion optimized bidding messes things up/more complicated the highest CPM might not be the best or most profitable ad for them to clear (another problem when they own all sides of the transaction).

FB for instance say they take ad quality, engagement, & predicted user behaviors into account when choosing winning ads not just price - which is also transparent..

Another thing is publishers can usually set floors and optimize for specific bid sources, like newssite.com could let their IOs win bids until it's filled even at a lower CPM.

Or also clear rates, like maybe an SSP bids $100 but it doesn't go through/get paid?
> pollute

I consider the level of pollution to be minimal. It’s not even noticeable in many US cities. Plus this is also always improving, particularly with increasing popularity of hybrids and electric cars.

> extremely dangerous to other road user

First off, “extremely dangerous” is hyperbole. The number of fatalities on roads is very low, and it will keep getting lower as safety features like blind spot monitoring become standards. Roads are already incredibly safe - in the US the fatality rate is something like 1 per 100 million vehicle miles.

But safety is also why roads should be reserved for motorized vehicles. Your assertion also seems very one sided. Safety is a two way thing - a substantial portion of bikers put themselves in danger by riding where they really shouldn’t.

> take a lot of space on the road

They also provide a lot of utility, which is why taxpayers funded roads and parking spaces to begin with. I, and I suspect most people, don’t mind using space for things that are high value, like cars.
This is honestly quite exciting.

This is why I stopped attending, and I think it harmed the effectiveness of the movement.

In Vancouver, we were having a great ride through the city. We may have been delaying traffic a bit, but that's fine. Then they decided to ride up the Lions Gate Bridge (the main artery in and out of the city) and stop all traffic going in both directions for about 10-15 minutes.

The friends I was with all agreed we wouldn't participate again because of those actions.
You can't trust any big corporation with anything, period.

Nor Microsoft, nor any other.

It's not a matter of morality, it's a matter of scale. At their scale, the entity takes priority over individuals, and it will always do what's good for the corporation, and only the corporation, unless obligated to.

In a capitalist society, this means it will always do what's profitable unless a stronger player, competition or the state, strongarm them into doing the right thing.

So no, you can't trust Microsoft with open source.

But right now, it happens Microsoft interest and the open source community are aligned. So keep your eyes open, don't put all your eggs in the same basket, assume it will change. Certainly don't let them control your stack.

But do enjoy the ride. They have skills and resources, FOSS can benefit from it.
> A little off topic, but these ports don’t usually store so many empty crates, so why do we have them now? Are we not exporting at the same rate? Is that even what empty crates are used for? I’m assuming they aren’t sent back to (mostly?) China empty.

My understanding is that the us doesn't send all that much back to china, and that it was a problem for a while but wasn't the bottleneck until recently.
Whoa that really set you off. ;-)

The problem is in intersection of nginx-ingress and kubernetes. Since ingress controller has access to secrets from all the namespaces (which is kubernetes side of the story) the nginx implementation with snippets added by users (the nginx contribution) may expose these secrets.

I like writing CSS to some extent. You get the immediate satisfaction of visibly getting things done and compared to a lot of other things, it's just memorization of few tricks and rules. It's the persistence of wanting to get things just right and not being satisfied with them being a little wonky that I guess makes the great dividing line.

If you don't like polishing details, well you are in a bit of bad luck. Unlike with backend code, with CSS your mistakes will show and be evident to everyone who can distinguish bad design from good.

And often doing less is better. It might sound self-evident but when you are making some dumb positioning with tops and lefts you are probably doing it wrong. Or there can be an easier solution. And when you color or add borders you probably want them to blend in, not stand out. Often a very small change in hue can be enough to provide depth and contrast.
> This is not a comprehensive list. Please add to it. We don't need to do the best ideas. We need to do ALL the ideas.

Had me up to this point. Let's not do ALL the ideas, let's have someone with authority and decision making skills make a judgment call with the best information available at the time. I assume he really means "all the best ideas", but it's worth saying that we shouldn't panic and just do anything someone yells loudly.

> I absolutely disagree with the assertion that you somehow have the right to kill me or others.

Prove that they are the ones "killing" others. That's the problem: there are claims with no proof.

People who don't want to be infected by others can social distance, right? You can only be infected if you are close enough to someone who is infected. Stay away from those people.

Actually, the funny thing is that vaccinated people can still get infected, but they are more likely to be asymptomatic. So they are more likely to be out and about infecting people without knowing it.

And that's why I want proof that those who are unvaccinated are spreading the virus. For all we know, it could be the vaccinated.
I don't own or use a bike, I am a car driver. Personal cars are absurdly inefficient on many levels. They take up precious urban space (roads and parking lots), they injure and kill people, they are extremely expensive, they are a major source of pollution.... Every time I've been stuck in five lanes of gridlock I've thought to myself, "This is one of the dumbest infrastructure issues that modern humans have to put up with." Bikes and public transportation just make way more sense in urban areas on so many levels, it's not even close. Cars are a blight on the urban landscape. The only reason I drive one daily is because our infrastructure leaves me no other choice. It sucks.
The guy is a bad ass. If he wanted to run for President, he would win. I am really not exaggerating - I had a chance to meet him a few years back, and at that time he was the most impressive person I had talked to in person for an extended amount of time (not based on credentials or achievement, but simply based on clarity of thought and new ways of thinking). I also know that PG rates him incredibly highly.

To give you a taste, this is him 3 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjUs7o-TnjY. I remember watching that video the first time and being particularly struck by his insight on how entrepreneurial sales is different from regular sales [1], which I have been able to apply since then on a regular basis.

Agreed on the shared roads, but in cities it is better to put the cars on pillars. Removing cars from roads does wonders and makes neighborhoods look much nicer. Instead of the pillars you can remove cars from most roads and have limited one-way roads that are fast and without traffic lights. The cars can park in a parking garage and continue on foot/bike/tram. I believe this is faster for the cars as well.
I never said it was, I'm not sure why you think I did.
Most bike activists don't have an unspoken strategy of slowing people down. They want to be able to use their bike to get places safely and quickly and they want others to feel able to do that too.

It doesn't make sense to create biking / walking lanes raised up on pillars because a) that introduces artificial hills and b) it increases effort to get places - you'll only be able to get on or off the raised system at a ramp, which might be inconvenient.

In London the average car speed is 11-12 mph, and then you'll have to walk to / from a car park. Cars aren't always fast and point to point

This would be amazing. Venus having nearly the same gravity as earth gives it a big plus in terms of future colonies. The other issue I believe is it’s spin - meaning a normal day on Venus is something like 5k hours compared to earths 24… that means you cook for a lot longer on one side instead of a nice even toasting like we have here on earth… still I like your idea because gravity is probably one of the bigger factors of creating a future nice home…
