Yes, it was peer reviewed. It's just that peer review isn't a mark of truth. Reviewers don't even try to replicate the experiments, for example. They're just scanning it to make sure that it makes sense, seems noteworthy, contains the information required to replicate it, avoids obvious errors, and so on.

Peer review means that a paper isn't obviously wrong or obviously useless, which isn't the same as meaning that it's right and useful. It's just the next step in the collaborative process of science.

It's possible for peer review to be tainted, but that's not necessary for incorrect results to get published. It could be anything from a simple mistake to outright fraud on the part of researchers.

Yes, any citations of the paper need to be questioned, though in many cases it will only be one piece of support of many, and won't change the conclusion. That's how science works; it's a continuously updated process. That's how we go from the unknown to the known; if we learned it all at once we'd have finished science a long time ago.
Right, this could work for small sites, but not sites with a ton of images.
Are you sure? I bet the parts would be more expensive than a design with one enclosure hosting multiple cards (somebody has to design and build those extra enclosures).

Also, communication between parts likely would be slower than for an all in-one design.
Indeed. Fiat currencies issued by central banks are in many ways more democratic than Bitcoin, because at least every citizen has a chance (albeit an indirect one) of influencing their policy via traditional voting, using the desired “one person, one vote” basis, which is common in countries whose currency you might want to use.

Any form of computing power, whether CPU-based or GPU-based or ASIC-based or memory-based, is a possession that can be accumulated by the wealthy in order to grant themselves power.
I'm not sure I trust the social media companies' own claims about how much reach and engagement they have. I suspect there are a lot more people who aren't captured than is believed in tech circles. This is almost certainly ignoring the vast areas of the world where the reach of technology is nothing like urban areas of the developed world.

But if the amount of attention captured is correct, approximately, and some substantial majority of the world's attention is captured, then we may have an "engagement bubble", and soon to face a crash in the value of attention, which could result in the major social media and adtech companies losing billions in value. I would expect to see ever-more predatory and manipulative strategies put in place to maximize the revenue extracted from engagement. There is already considerable effort being put into expanding the reach of the internet, for example StarLink, Facebook subsidizing "free internet"[1], and so forth.

Human trafficking? No. Weapons - I guess some but they got 45 weapons total from a big operation and over 150 places busted and who knows how many of those were even for sale. At any rate, some of the previous markets busted (not sure about this one) didn't even have a weapons section let alone a human trafficking section. It's clear from the releases, funding sources, targets etc. that weapons are a bonus not a main target.
> "impartial and just treatment or behavior without favoritism or discrimination."

That doesn't imply simplistically equal treatment. If the definition was "equal treatment" that's what it would say instead of "impartial and just".

Impartial and just and no favoritism or discrimination isn't meant to literally complain "hey, you're discriminating in favor of car crash survivors getting physical therapy, that's not fair, everyone should get the same physical therapy".

The definition probably would be better to use the term "prejudice" instead of "discrimination". There's no reality in which people see fairness in absolute lack of discrimination. It's fair to discriminate based on something like medical diagnosis or any other sort of fair judgment of situations.

The false dichotomy of opportunity vs outcomes is stupid. We can't make true equality of either, and we can care about both. And just saying that you see extremists use an analogy is not a reason to reject an analogy. Extremists also wear pants or sleep at night. Anyway, an absolutist no-discrimination view is about as extreme as we can find.

> The real issue is that one company is in a skewed position of power due to a broken marketplace

Nobody seems able to identify what the unfair advantage is.

The truth is that this is the nature of social networks: the successful ones tend towards Monopoly. Why? Because more people attract more people. Access begets access. The value of a network grows with the square of its size [0], and higher-value networks attract more users.

You can't break up a social network without starting to make rules about who can associate with who, which is a fundamentally anti-free position.

The problem is not Facebook. In its absence another would take its place. The "problem" is human nature, and that we were not designed cognitively for the types of networks that technology now enables for us.

We should focus on education, friendship, and real-world experiences. Legal fights against social networks in general or Facebook in specific are futile.

Neomania is dangerous. New things are usually not fully understood, and what we understand about them is usually asymmetric: the upsides are generally obvious and occur in the near term, and the downsides are generally poorly understood and take a while to become apparent. The history of science is absolutely littered with examples of this in nearly every applied field.
User and avocate of the rm2 here; it completely replaced my notepad/s in and out of the office.

Worth mentioning that they have given lifetime access to existing customers, but I had been planning on giving devices to staff at the end of the year, this announcement has significantly cooled my enthusiasm.

> But wealthy people hold onto money-producing assets, which means someone is still using the stuff. Not always, but often. So it means that taxing it just takes it from one use (say, by a corporation) and puts it to another use (maybe a government use).

Industrial capacity utilization has been falling since the 1970s. So the "money-making assets" have been in use less (also the only thing that "makes" new actual wealth is labor). There is a glut of capital sloshing around profitable sectors, as the vast majority of people agree. Underconsumption (over overproduction, different words for the same thing) is generally seen as the economic problem, which higher consumption taxes would worsen.

If you generate it using solar or wind power locally the math indeed changes: those are very expensive KWhs so you tend to be far more careful with them. Running resistive heat off a local solar installation is madness, I have never seen this done in practice, except for cooking and even then it is an expensive affair. The first thing you learn when you go off-grid is that every little bit counts. Electric heat is right out.

Absolutely!

But I wasn't responding to the article. I was responding to the original comment, which stated:

> There's something to be said for the focused nature of older technology.

My response and point was that this isn't somehow precluded with newer technology. That is, if what you're getting out of older technology is "focus", you can get that with newer tech without having to sacrifice other capabilities.

If what you're getting out of older technology is "familiarity" or "nostalgia" or "joy" or something similarly aesthetic, then obviously, keep on keeping on. :)

Sigh. I really love my reMarkable 2 and recommended it to a number of people. Moving unlimited cloud storage behind a $5/mo paywall is the end of that. Deleting anything you haven't updated in 50 days means you have no backup for those notes if your device gets dropped. (Which happened to me.)

Even if I was okay with this, it makes me worry about the long term survival of the company.

For myself, I have my own backups from installing rsync with toltec. It'll be a few years (hopefully more if the hardware lasts) before I need to find an alternative.
It's not like they were hocking their company. They specifically gave out information on someone they hired outside of the company. Yes, there a little self-promotion listing URL and what not, but it was much more about the attorney they hired. meh

Falco Cloud Security Monitoring Now on Amazon Web Services
The user group on Facebook did not take the news of this new subscription well at all.

Personally I’m on the fence about it, I got my remarkable 2 last year and I’ve been very pleased with all the updates and features they’ve added to it, I’m also pleased that existing purchasers and users are grandfathered in to the new plan.

What I’m less enthusiastic about is for the potential of new features being exclusive to a higher tier plan than the grandfathered connect plan.

I’m less enthusiastic about recommending the system to new users as well because of the initial expense of the tablet and the ongoing increased costs to ownership that new users will face.

I know many creative types who would love to use this solution, but the expense of the subscription on top of the cost of the device means that it’s prohibitively expensive for them.

I wish remarkable well with this venture because it was probably a difficult choice to make, the risks of potentially closing the door on some new users must have potentially outweighed the revenue gains on new customers. It can’t have sat well with everyone at the organisation, given how they’ve been so good with new features and updates to both versions of the hardware.
>>the fact that even the couchdb team has changed their opinions on the right way to do it was not impressive

I don't get that. If they're working on improving something I didn't like that's something I'd appreciate.

CouchDB/PouchDB works great for how I'm using them but over the years I've observed that those coming from using SQL DBs can have a hard time with it.

I get that. But CouchDB is not designed to compete or replace SQL.

To me, it feels like CouchDB was not the right tool for the job you were doing. That's not a reason to dismiss it though.
> In a free market you'd have thousands of social networks to provide competition with all sorts of different policies and ToS.

You know, I want to believe that, but I don't think it's true.

Because of the "network effect", the value of belonging to a social network is mostly dependent on how many people are on it. This dynamic very strongly favors a few big social networks.
Shouldn't we wait until it's launched to see if they include the license or not?
I like hardware. Love it infact.

For me the subscription service itself is not the issue, it is far far far too expensive for what they offer in it, and they have broken my trust.

The first thing I did after their announcement was disable auto-updates, I dont really use their cloud services anyway prefering to interact with the device either with SSH or a 3rd party tool (RCU), my fear now is a future update will disable SSH and the ability for people to opt-out of their cloud.

I am grandfathered in, so I get it for free, but I have no intention of using

Today if I needed to replace my device I would buy a SuperNote A5X

I don’t care about subscriptions in general and why should I? Netflix adds new content and my VPS is also a subscription, it just doesn’t call itself that. They have running costs and I’m not dependent on them. But there are services where the sole intention of the subscription is to generate a steady cash flow (almost all software, things like ink catridge subscriptions), subscriptions where the platform prohibits alternatives (iCloud) and bait and switch offers like the remarkable. These should be better regulated.

Things I freakin' love about identity and environments in Google Cloud
One thing to keep in mind is that SWC is a compiler, whereas esbuild is a bundler. SWC has limited bundling capabilities last time I checked, so if you're looking for something to traverse your code and generate a single file (or multiple files at dynamic import boundaries, etc.) esbuild is what you want. Next.js bundles with webpack, so it uses SWC in lieu of Babel (or the TypeScript Compiler).

Fair enough, every AC system is a heat pump. But most of them are quite inefficient and require a lot of power to operate, though the last decade or two there have been some major improvements on this front.

Geothermal's path to relevance: cheap drilling
With the amount of capital available, no question that many companies that would have IPO'd years ago are electing to stay private (hello, Stripe!).

The cynic in me says: this is great marketing, because the best Sequoia fund is the early stage fund (always oversubscribed) and now as an LP you can't invest in just the early stage fund. (But the reality is I bet they forced early stage fund LPs to invest in their growth vehicles anyway, so there is no material change other than marketing. Which is very good.)
Sure, but it's a good way to frame the question. We don't want anyone to be unable to use toilets. Surely there's no clear line where this logic stops. It's fuzzy.

The only question is whether efforts in that direction are counterproductive in practice.

The terms of service are unclear for existing users. Can anyone on this thread add clarity for

1. How long is the term of the 'free' offer for existing users? No term is specified. Does that mean they will attempt billing (or cutoff service) after a year?

I’ve tried both; found that both definitely solve the performance issues that they’re intended to address; and decided that I just prefer using esbuild.
