Terminator is an easy one. The terminator at the beginning has done nothing wrong, and fights a gang[1] of bikers who antagonize him and gang up on him, and fight him together, for being naked after traveling through time.

Karate Kid had the Cobra Cai, I think it was called, the rival school. I didn't see it, but I believe they were bullies. Maybe you're right about that one, although I think Daniel-san triumphs against a bully, there might have been several, or the bully had little supporters. It's a coming of age movie, though. It's also a sports movie, they do Karate-Do, which is for decorative, spirital, and sport purposes, not Karate-Jutsu, the military or let's call it "action".

Robocop, there's that company that makes the robot that Robocop has to fight in the end, there's a lot of people working in that company and together they built an automatic murder machine, which they then set loose. And IIRC they're doing a housing development and have ties to the criminal activity in the city Robocop tries to clean up. And like that evil robot had missiles coming out of its back I think, the special effects were glitchy, which made it look like an even greater monstrosity. Companies are groups of persons so absolutely can be guilty of conspiracy if the facts warrant it, incorporation documents don't give permission to traffic heroin. So it happens to fronts for drug dealing and it almost happened to Abbott Laboratories, also basically for drug dealing, only with a drug patients hated instead of craving.

Rocky does not involve a conspiracy, except of course the conspiracy that Rocky works for, the mob, as a debt collector. Which is the reason behind his conflict with Mickey, while Rocky says "it's a living" Mickey replies "it's a waste of life!" But I think I can hand you this one. One catch: this is a sports movie, not an action movie.

I haven't seen the others.

[1] gang is a well-marketed and very glamourous word for conspiracy, which is the term courts use when there's the formal elements of a conspiracy: meeting of the minds, two or more participants in a crime acting in coordination, there's a third one [EDIT: secrecy, and illegality or bad faith are others] but that's the gist of it, it just means criminal teamwork. Some things you do alone, some things with others, same goes for crime...at any rate, don't accuse someone of being a conspiracy theorist to a judge. Judges deal with conspiracies continually, sometimes multiple different ones per day, and there absolutely are people trying to play that judge by "covering" for each other. You will curry zero favor with that judge by putting the word "conspiracy" in your opponents mouth and then claim he must be delusional. That always works on talk TV, but not in court. Judges simply don't have the luxury of being able to pretend criminals never cooperate, like none of them had a single friend.
What a great link. Thank you. My own little personally obsessive python project is far more modest, but at least gives insight to the motivation.
Early on, people (in the US) signed up to companies like Compuserve or AOL which were walled gardens much like Facebook with a "there be dragons" type warning if you chose to venture out into the "real" Internet.

At this point communities sprung up, and were (if lucky) found and hand-indexed by Yahoo or they banded together via web-links.

We then got communities of communities beginning with GeoCities and then MySpace.

It wasn't until Facebook that everyone's personal page looked identical to everyone else's, and surprisingly everyone seemed to like that.

At some point, maybe we'll go back to rolling own own communities, but I doubt it. Security considerations and the constant attacks by scripts/botnets, not to mention data loss and privacy breach legislation, have made the Internet very unfriendly to non-corporates: Ttoo much work and stress.

As far as corporates railroading us: Government legislation is the biggest bar to entry and only necessary because corporates forced everyone to use real identities: where back in the good old days "On the Internet, no one knows you're a dog".
Yes, accidentally forgetting to change your env from prod when running an SQL query that impacts a lot of rows.
Saying Meth will ruin your life is not consistent with the data. Before 1971 you could buy it in any pharmacy without prescription and there was no usage epidemic. The vast majority of people who use Meth today do not get addicted.

"Who says it involves "phoning home"? You can use offline apps, and turn off your internet if you want."

Those are getting fewer and farther between, the new trend is that you have to accept a 40-page license agreement to rent a bike, you get a Fancy pet feeder that doesn't feed your cat when their servers are offline, your Samsung TV adds ads that you cannot turn off, etc.

You own and control nothing despite paying thousands of dollars for it.
There's a specific thing I always remember about this book, which is that the author recommends the "thumb over" technique for scales. I would never, ever suggest a beginner to approach scales like that. Thumb rotation is super important to absorb and master. Of course, when you go for fast scales you do a "thumb over" which is not really that, but instead of the thumb rotation, you reposition your whole hand using your arm to keep going upwards (from reading the book, it feels like the author doesn't understand that, because he probably never really went through that process... which takes many many years of piano playing).

I clearly remember the first time I went through the book, being a bit shocked when I read this particular take.
I've found I've settled into some of my best creative musical flows when I've got out of bed in the morning by myself, made a cup of tea and started playing. I'm willing to take more creative risks and trust my intuition without questioning it or overthinking. It all feels so natural.

It's also really amplified if I'm up before my wife, I think because music is the first thing my brain actively focuses on. Without a conversation, my brain doesn't have anything else for me to think about yet and I've used none of it's energy.
Is it weird if I feel like my brain is completely useless for the first 4 hours of the day, I feel like my concentration gets better the longer the day goes - exercise definitely does it for me too.
> ... and the notes on the sheet music have these numbers.

I grew up with a piano in the house, have had sheet music for loads of instruments (played sax, piano, guitar, family had trumpet/clarinet/misc in house too). Have taken music theory classes, performed in bands in middle/high schools and college.

I've never seen sheet music have 'fingering' info ever.

Can someone point me to examples of what is being referred to here?
Because NIMBY homeowners would prevent the construction of sufficient supply to drive prices to that level of affordability.
First, you have to secure all the computers. Capability Based Security for everyone. This lets us all run mobile code without danger. (No more virus or worm issues)

Next, we use 128 bit IP addresses, 32 bit port and protocol numbers, and absolutely forbid NAT as a way of getting more addresses. (no ip address shortage)

Next, all email has to be cryptographically signed by the sending domain using public key encryption. (No more spam)

Next, selling internet access [EDIT]ONLY is strictly prohibited. Either connections can host servers, or find a different business model. Any node of the internet should be able to run a small server. (No more censorship in the walled gardens) Yes, I know it's stupid to try to host a server on the upload bandwidth I get from a cable modem, but it shouldn't be prohibited. If I want to see my webcams from anywhere, it shouldn't require someone else's server.

DNS should be done using a blockchain, it would need some iteration to get it right.
I like it too. If Cloudflare posts become the impetus for reading the article, all the better. Their posts are well written and they don't burden the reader with what the editor wants you to know after hooking you with a headline.
Maybe the reverse is more efficient? I. e. landscaping the sea into the volcanic ash?
Yeah, for sure. Scott is on The List (my term), those guys who've passed the test and can fill in for your sick Horn player. So he's played with almost every orchestra in the Bay Area.

He played at LucasFilm for a couple weeks, to build their library of sounds. He said for that one week, he made more money than his son in high tech.
I'm still not convinced, the amount of "social pressure" from day 0 (or even before) for a kid is just shocking (starting with: I won't buy a pink doll to my newborn baby boy).

Obviously with animals is different, but there might also be other things at play that we are not aware.

Happy to be wrong, but I think there are so many layers to make a call at this point that sure, there might be an influence, but society is probably what affects this the most.
It was much smaller… and this has even fewer bathrooms per student.

Define "good", I started LiChess 2 days ago.
This reads like some sort of techno-utopian fever dream.

People don't want to be completely disconnected from physical reality. The world you described is vulgar to any real human person, honestly it sounds like a cross between Brave New World and The
Matrix.

There would be no authenticity of experience in the world you imagine. It'd be people living out instagram fantasies continuously.

Society would eventually devolve into a decadent, fetalistic world marked by the boredom of playing a video game with god mode on, where humans would no longer be able to deal with hardship or conflict. Bored of travelling to places that don't exist, they'd try desperately to satiate their desire for authentic human interaction by sitting in virtual pubs chatting about the imagined escapades of pretend celebrities.
Tactics training is by far the most effective thing you can do to improve your game short of Master level (assuming you have the basics down).

Chess before Master level is all about "avoiding blunders" and "capitalizing on blunders". It's a function of the fact that a single mistake can at any point completely destroy your game.
What about the security aspects of NAT?

e.g. Isolating subnets and restricting outbound access. Seems like a useful defence-in-depth mechanism in case of misconfigured firewall rules.
1. SCTP instead of TCP (doesn't suffer from the maddening layering violation in TCP/IP w/ the host IP being part of the TCP tuple). This would solve mobile IP.

2. SRV RR's instead of "well known ports". Solves load balancing and fault tolerance as well as allowing lots of like-protocol servers to coexist on the same IP address.

3. Pie-in-the-sky: IPv4 semantics w/ a 96-bit address space (maybe 64-bit).
Maybe, but it also really sucked. You could only get to it from a desktop when the phone line wasn't tied up. The best possible connection was crazy slow. There would be days-long outages for no apparent reason, with no way to figure out what was going on. There was no wikipedia, no stack overflow, no GitHub, no cloud hosting, no readthedocs, no dockerhub.

It was bad.
Government regulation, voted in by NIMBY homeowners, is the primary reason we have inadequate housing supply. So what do you think will happen when the government proposes building housing? Will the NIMBYs just roll over and take it if the government does it?
I've seen this recently for ADA as well. Seems to be a pretty common scam unfortunately. Anything where you need to actually "send" money to receive something should send alarm bells off in people's minds, but the dumb masses continue to fall for it and so it will prevail, just like extended car warranties.

If you are using a DNS filter service it should protect you against newly registered domain names and would prevent you from accessing this domain (coin-ether[.]com); beautiful site too by the way.

Understood. I think it's great. I was leading up to my question of why restrict yourself to the limits of spoken language when it will never be used for spoken communication. If communication efficiency is the goal then come up with a language that can express every human thought and emotion in the least amount of bits. Thanks for the links.
> The hidden reason for this is, you don't want to hear some 9-year-old kid who plays better than you ever will.

A surprise I had is that 9 yo is an advanced age in musical spheres. There’s international young pianist competitions won by 10~11 year olds. They are usually bound to become pro players, so not the average kid in your local music school, but it’s a good frame of mind for thinking about how good a 10 yo can be.
started as an adult as well and couldnt stress this enough. anyone can play the piano with proper practice!

My experience is that NSLog is suprisingly slow. I remember investigating why a program was running so slowly and removing NSLog from the main loop made it significantly faster. Maybe the underlying console was slower than I expected, or the messages had to be sent through my iPhone's USB?

Because of this and the author's issue, I don't see why you should ever use NSLog in Swift. Even if you need a timestamp, you could just write a custom logging function using printf.

> There is nothing you can do to motivate someone who is fundamentally a non-writer to be a writer. The interest will never be there, no matter what the person chooses to say or think on the contrary.

I heard once this expression for those who dislike wine: It's not that you dislike wine, you just haven't found the wine that you like.

Writers don't write on anything and everything. They write on what interests them. It's what they're writing on that keeps them writing. Whether that's fiction or non-fiction.

Switch writing with math. How does someone go from having no initial interest in math to pursuing a career in it like G.H. Hardy?

pg's essay "How To Work Hard" highlights this:

"I suspect most people have to learn what work is before they can love it. Hardy wrote eloquently about this in A Mathematician's Apology:

'I do not remember having felt, as a boy, any passion for mathematics, and such notions as I may have had of the career of a mathematician were far from noble. I thought of mathematics in terms of examinations and scholarships: I wanted to beat other boys, and this seemed to be the way in which I could do so most decisively.'

He didn't learn what math was really about till part way through college, when he read Jordan's Cours d'analyse.

'I shall never forget the astonishment with which I read that remarkable work, the first inspiration for so many mathematicians of my generation, and learnt for the first time as I read it what mathematics really meant.'"
There's Accept-Language, except that it's not really usable. Nobody sets it, so nobody relies on it, and anyway you can't tell it useful things like 'i know these 3 languages, in preference order, but if the original content is either one, use that instead of a translation to my more preferred language'. Websites that use IP to guess which language or country site you prefer aren't great, but there's nothing great to do.
It's basically masturbation for western audiences that get to see weird retro buildings without any context that could tell them the whole story, especially if it's in Eastern Europe. I regularly see buildings I've been in on r/urbanhell that are great places to live but just look different and are located in the poor wastelands east of Vienna.

This is shockingly evident with the "spomeniks" trend that is basically recreating Edward Said's orientalism but for the Balkans. Westerners come on a cheap Ryanair flight, see a building and write endless blogposts about the ancient bloodthirsty peoples that once built these alien artifacts.

Black and white photos included.

If it is, hunter gatherers often worked even less, as Marshall Sahlins noted in "The Original Affluent Society" and other books. Even modern hunter gatherers often work less, although there are less in existence now than there were a few decades ago.
Can’t we just institute population controls? I feel like that’s a higher confidence path to curb emissions while not requiring a change in quality of life.
Organic beings with diverse genetic and epigenetic history can be a mechanism for automated software development, i.e. AI training data.
The article obsesses over whether the human brain can understand the human brain. But the brain is a structure with a vast flexibility. Even a basic sensory function in a basic insect has a developmental structure unique to each individual but has the same functionality. In other words, the brain uses environmental inputs to guide its growth. So to suggest the brain has this or that capacity is as much a cultural question as a biological one.

If you ask the wrong questions you’ll never get good answers. Neuroscience views the brain as genotype when it’s really phenotype — cause when it’s really effect

At this point I think just having the composability without the compactness would be a major breakthrough. Heck, even just figuring out how to efficiently harness multimodal inputs or better handle inputs that vary over time (e.g. video) would be a breakthrough as well. Case in point: nearly all academic models for object detection are borderline useless in practice because they work on individual frames, rather than on video, and as a result they aren't very robust and they lose objects frame to frame for no good reason. There are tracking models, but they are far less researched than single-frame ones, and much more complex. In essence, it's like that drunk who was looking for his car keys under a street lamp rather than where he lost them because it's easier to search for them there.

People don't realize how little of this surface we've scratched so far, and how awesome this stuff will get once we properly scratch it all over.

Mostly agree except instead of “prohibiting” certain things the systems we build should disincentivize them.

e.x. No need to prohibit NAT if there are more than enough IPs to go around.

On a vaguely related note, any suggestions for books for a 7½-year-old who's fascinated with chess? It seems like there's kind of a gap between books that are geared towards total beginners and those which will have you analyzing games. I'm looking for something that will help him develop his skills beyond the basic moves. (I will say, that having introduced him to loser's chess and finding a free iOS app for him to play, he as able to consistently beat the app within a couple weeks, but regular chess is still hit or miss for him and I suspect the AI in the loser's chess game might have been limited).

Here's a recent example. It seems as though the Kentucky prosecutor rigged the grand jury so that they wouldn't opt to charge the police with a crime. Pretty chilling. This is the same justice system that over-charges defendants so they plead guilty even if they are innocent. Our justice department is out of control and exists to serve itself. Without faith in the law, our country is lost.

> Next, selling internet access is strictly prohibited.

Not sure if this is attainable, someone has to draw the cables and maintain them. What do you propose, that everyone does this for themselves? I don't think we'll be seeing much fiber cable, nor internet users then. What with trans-oceanic cables? In the end someone's got to pay the bill.

I do agree however that DNS should be free and decentralized. The difficulty here would be to avoid domain hoarders. Maybe through some verification / vouching system? On the other hand that seems a lot like PGP keyservers, which also didn't turn out all too great.

All in all, difficult problems. Maybe the current system isn't all too bad after all?
POSIX does simplify things, diverging from historical practice, when it’s reasonably the only way to standardize stuff that arguably should be standardized. And the vast majority of scripts are easily converted to POSIX-compliant shell script anyways — it’s certainly not “largely crap”.
