Where is the evidence for this change or why is it plausible? Unless you have some information I don't, it has never been the case and there isn't a reason to expect it. I hope it can happen, but manufacturing shows no signs that we may make it from a more common material, if anything they will use an even rarer more difficult process because purity of materials is very important and the result of lower quality silicon is so bad that nobody uses it, the chip shortage and reliance on a few places isn't ideal but there is no alternative except not to use them, which is possible. There is a lot of interest for everyone to have it but its not plasible, it can be minized but the refinement is very important, and there isn't any reason for a small community to stop buying globally thir plans at the highest quality plants have better yields, better quality, and they will be more energy efficient. Homegrown parts will not even work because it relies on economies of scale.

However, it is plausible to not rely too much on microchips in general, a pot can control fan speed with older motors, but we lose brushless fans. You may really enjoy post collapse guides if you are interested in what can be made locally.

There are great youtube videos on like primative technology as well that makes things from scratch, even steel cannot be made locally without the proper materials so there needs to be some sort of global/larger community unless they live in a resource rich environment (the US does not have metals like Eurasia does).
Interesting, most websites that convert user media to WebP load quite fast for me whereas conversions to JPEG are fast but still a bit slower/lower quality in my experience.

WebP suffers from lack of support in outdated browsers, but that's the only problem I've found with it. AVIF is kind of a silly format, but for some use cases it works quite well.

JPEG XL has very little tool support, isn't (as) free as the alternatives and browser support is practically non-existent. Nobody wants to adopt the format either, because the JPEG group made the same problem Nintendo made when naming the Wii U: JPEG XL sounds like a JPEG file with something special going on inside, while in fact it's actually a completely new format.
But I don't want to be an employee. I want to be a contractor. With all the rights & responsibilities that entails.

I mean how far do we take this - you've got 3 months worth of building to be done at your house, so you have to form an LLC and employ carpenters directly?
Annoyingly most browsers do this. One of the first things we implemented in Orion browser was to use the source you already have.

Great post. Just to be pedantic for a moment:

> it gives you results that are 100% correct, which is pretty important!

Not quite 100% correct, as the `ST_Distance_Sphere` function uses a spherical earth model, & in fact the earth is an oblate spheroid :) The slower-but-more-accurate `ST_Distance_Spheroid` also exists if you care about such things.
COBRA is really spendy. AFAICR, it's allowing you to continue payments on your policy, but you then have to pick up what the employer was paying. In best of cases this usually means a doubling of what you used to realize as a health insurance cost.

COBRA's value is that it insulates you from a gap in coverage and/or a forced change to your provider network and benefit structure. For younger people without unmanaged chronic conditions, I think COBRA provides little value at all, but YMMV based on risk-tolerance.

> it's up to you to protect your ass

and to manage your contracts/engagements/agreements to profit. You can use a union as your employment agent, but they'll take a cut for their trouble and introduce some other dynamics to your employment (wage caps, seniority considerations, another political realm to manage).
The running joke in my country is that pastors’ children always round up to be delinquent in their teens. You won’t be able to completely control the environment of your child. The re will be a moment, when he/she will realize you do not know everything and your word, while important will be just a voice in many. It is very hard to resist temptation when you see people your age doing them without restrictions. I would say teach them values, not enforce them.

But “toxins” don’t all have the same effect on the same biology. You can’t just assume that they all contribute to the same disease. Some of them may cancel others out. Even the word “toxins” is so much abused in the popular medical press as to be not only useless but misleading.

Any report like this needs to be evaluated for various factors, but one of the most important is the degree of effect. Some studies have identified effects that are are so small you would need to consume gallons of the product a day to see any difference from not consuming.

The press is full of these scary sounding reports based on a study that found something that the report fails to explain has not been verified.

Any one study should not be the basis of your life decisions. This would need to be verified or debunked by other studies until a consensus gives us enough information to determine how to act if needed.
I like Bell’s though I can only get it when I visit its distribution area. Glad to learn news, hope it doesn’t suffer under the new owners.

Not "in the West" but rather "in Western media and universities, especially outside STEM". By no coincidence, these are the most vocal minorities.

Capitalism is not cool with novelty-seeking intellectual elites anymore. But nothing established is; the purpose of these elites is to look for and research alternative ways. Most if these ways are detrimental or are dead ends. But so are most mutations that drive evolution forward.
Not just bragging about it, Microsoft was paying people to submit software to pump that number up:

Who's the zealot here? The guy who doesn't want to risk and openly states so, or the guy proclaiming there's no risk, even with ample historical evidence for the opposite?

I don't accept your labeling, especially when it's so egregiously misguided.

The building also appears in the movie The Wolverine, and may have been referenced as William Gibson's titular New Rose Hotel.

It's a familiar sight, and a familiar idea, around the world, much like "The Gherkin" in London or the Sydney Opera House. Its architectural oddness makes it stand out, and media presence gives it wide exposure.
I wouldn't call deaths in the USSR "accidental".
Starving and executing kulaks was no accident, they were punishing the rich.
People worked to death in the gulags were not an accident.

They may have killed less people per year compared to Nazis but that doesn't make them less deadly. In terms of sheer human loss for society, they were 4 times worse than the Nazis (according to your estimate).
If you consider how much freedom and how many lives they ruined with forced labour, it's even more egregious.

I've always considered Nazis and communists to be in the same bucket: authoritarian killers.

Communists often get a moral pass somehow, unlike Nazi and I wonder if it's because most schools and history teachers are biased; they teach about Nazi concentration camps but don't teach about gulags.
I had to read books and books in school about Nazis and I didn't even know Solzhenitsyn existed.

That's whataboutism. It's an important topic as well, but not what's being discussed.

I'm not sure why you raise elections, but the premise ("if the concern isn't the harm of the downvote") is antithetical to the discussion (which is concerning the harm of targeted downvote campaigns).

That’s unfortunate. Twenty years ago I attended high school in a working class suburb. I was fortunate to get selected into a gifted program and had teachers who challenged me to work hard and overcome my surrounding. Changed my life and inspired a career as a data scientist and entrepreneur. I hope the younger generation can have the benefit of adults who care enough about them to challenge them to succeed, because the real world does not grade on the curve.

How does that come up in casual conversation? In all my time in Japan it never occurred to me that there was a latent, untapped desire to discuss the 1860s.

Not that I disagree about how people from other places typically fetishizes random slightly-famous objects or buildings or behaviors well beyond the point anyone near there cares about. But that's not Japan specific either, and is more than nobody really feels the need to get super excited about things nearby them just for being there.
If you are relying on your box of heated rocks to keep your house warm and cooling occurs faster than planned you are left without heat.

That being said, America is extremely unusual in the small number of explicit classroom hours students have, and the large amount of homework students are expected to do.
> being hardened against intentional false positives isn't necessary for it to serve its purpose.

Except that every time they get a positive, the device will upload the image to Apple, where at some point an actual human will have to check it.

Queue people (4chan) essentially DDOS'ing that infrastructure by turning harmless memes into false positives and distributing them widely. They'll probably automate it too. The chance they won't do such a thing is about 0.01% - if they haven't already. This is just a slight twist on the common prank of making people Google terms related to CSAM.

Not only will that cause Apple to violate the privacy of innocent people who were just saving cat pictures from Facebook, it will also require a lot more manpower than Apple is probably anticipating to keep up with the amount of false positives that will come in. And that isn't even considering unintentional false positives.

I don't think Apple is planning to start sending out "oopsie we violated your privacy and looked at your memes/family photos" mails to affected people. But it might come to that too once this planned practice is tested against current or future European privacy laws (and such a notification would be the bare minimum in my opinion).

That won't go over well once the first people share such an experience.
I actually agree.

I never use app store discovery or search, and I don't think anyone who understands the app market does. I think it is mainly used by folks who don't know search engines work better, who are exactly the sort of folks who fall for fake apps and scams, because their flawed assumption that the platform gives a shit about it hasn't yet been corrected.

The other problem, though, is that not having discovery is not really an option. Corporate incentives are such that they basically have to be built. ("Why are you leaving money on the table and control for someone else to grab?")
All of that is easy to learn. You just learn the bits you need to solve the specific problem you have. I went from not knowing JavaScript to completing a complex 52 page web app in 4 months. I simply just-in-time learned what I needed to learn. It wasn’t hard. It was fun actually.

By what mechanism? Most of the world more or less officially recognizes China's claim on Taiwan. I think it would be horrifically sad and disappointing, but more or less ignored, like Hong Kong.
Trouble is, it's nowhere near enough. Cases you mentioned (charging personal cars, heating/cooling down houses) are relatively small. Let's be generous and say it's 20% of overall energy consumption. For comparison, last summer average energy production of UK's offshore wind stayed under 10% of its capacity for a month. How do you even make a dent in this massive sea of missing energy with those small and temporary reductions?
> You appear to be assuming an attack model where the attackers won't do "bad" things. Under that set of assumptions all systems are secure. Reality disagrees with this model.

What I'm saying is that a whole bunch of stars need to align before any practical use for this exploit becomes even remotely plausible. This is slightly more likely if your adversary is a state actor with strong motivations and no issues accessing and handling CSAM. But consider the necessary steps and ask how likely it is:

1. Hope that your client uses an iPhone, pays for iCloud storage, and has enabled the cloud photo library feature, not on by default.

2. Acquire the NeuralHash and secondary hash for thirty A1-class images in the CSAM database.

3. Acquire the secondary hash algorithm and build a tool that generates hash collisions for that.

4. Find thirty images which have even the most vanishing small hope of being accidentally identifiable as CSAM by a human reviewer, and that your target would like so much that they'd be inclined to import all thirty into their iCloud Photo library upon receiving them.

5. Mangle these thirty images to each match both hashes. But without mangling them so much that the target's desire to import them into their iCloud photo gallery diminishes, whether for aesthetic reasons or because the target becomes suspicious.

6. Hope that your target does actually import all thirty images into their iCloud photo gallery.

7. Hope that your hash collsions all work correctly in practice.

8. Hope that Apple's human reviewers screw up.

9. Hope that none of the 30 images cause any of Apple's reviewers to become suspicious, flagging the matter for technical review, causing Apple to blacklist these hashes and rev their hash algorithms in the next version of iOS.

10. Hope that the child safety organisation which Apple reports this to also screws up.

11. Hope that the law enforcement body which this child safety organisation reports this to also screws up.

12. Hope that bumbling actions of law enforcement cause desirable negative consequences to your target.

That's a dozen steps, many of which are exceedingly non-trivial. There's probably a dozen more steps I'm missing or unaware of.

Upshot—a lot of work for very little outcome. Far more effective would be to break into the guy's house, stuff some printouts of CSAM under their mattress and then make a bunch of anonymous tip-offs to local law enforcement. Or just pay a guy to shoot him.
Official or public available info on those Chinese debts are a couple hundred mils. Yes these are peanuts. But unofficial numbers are several magnitude higher even extremely likely Chinese authority unaware of (2008 showed that US government had no clue how bad it was back then which even AIG almost gone). It is basically the iceberg sinking Titanic in the remaking now on Chinese financial front. Also, when USD start to rise, regional currencies tend to slide...millions and millions middle class people will participate to buy USD as the new inflation hedger like gold (which will be underperforming during the short sequeeze situation). The only thing that will stop this is Chinese government printing money more than Barry did in his terms (basically spreading those debts indirectly pay by citizens).
Rising class sizes, a ever expanding college-industrial-complex, and income inequality necessitating very specific career decisions, stop this I think.

Mate, your second paragraph is essentially reframing trauma. It's true that trauma can prepare one to face a bigger challenge later in life, but not always, and it can make facing other kinds of challenges more difficult and incentivize withdrawing from a number of wonderful parts of life.

There have been successful societies built around early trauma (Spartans, etc.) but we remember many of them as brutal by necessity of their surrounding environment.

Agree with the rest entirely.

Kyoto. Plus, they keep making movies about it.

There are a lot of low effort apps in front of firefox but that's because they published in the store WAY earlier than firefox. So firefox needs some time to go up in the ranking.

Just wait 2-3 days or a week I bet it will be on top.

That's a good point -- even if you approach this from a very strict Libertarian perspective, this regulation is pretty definitively an outcome that resulted from the free decisions of the majority of people who chose to live inside the state.

So I guess taking the traditional Ancap question about free markets, and reapplying it, it's reasonable to ask: how can regulation that is the result of people's free voting choices not itself be considered free?

And then you can get into whatever responses people have to that question in general about whether free choices can result in coercive structures that are worth opposing, which is not really my point here. My point is, I don't really see a huge fundamental difference between a free market deciding that a product isn't worth producing and a free democracy deciding that a product isn't worth producing. I don't see why one should inherently be viewed as more legitimate than the other.

If the voters don't want automobile manufacturers to violate their privacy, and they want to pass a law about it, that's their choice as a community. It seems just as valid of a choice as anything else the free market could produce.
My grievance is with people picking and choosing things they like about Japan, then come here and have no regard or respect for Japanese people. This is not Disneyland, which is not to say you should be respectful at Disneyland.

Or going to these places with drones, tripods, blocking the sidewalk. Japanese people do it, too, but it's their country, and people are less timid to politely ask them to stop.

There's Logan Paul with the suicidal forest. Of course, not every tourist is that bad, but I do observe that foreigners in Japan disproportionately by a factor of 10x refuse to wear a mask.
Not irrationally; there are numerous well-publicized incidents, such as child protective services being called for a six-year old playing unsupervised in their own front yard. Or, and I do forget the state (though I think it was Maryland), a state official saying that children under fourteen should never be left alone unsupervised for any length of time. When I was twelve, I babysat my little sister all day and made us hot lunches. Nothing fancy - just your standard packaged noodles or similar - but yeah, I knew how to use a stove safely.

Eh maybe. I think that largely depends on where you live. Granted, most apartment complexes are falling into that category, but venture out of the city a bit and if you're renting a small 2 bedroom house for $750/mo in Nebraska, it's probably owned by an individual.

Worst case scenario, even in a city, you could sublet or get roommates while you rebuild your credit.
As I keep saying, threats of hyper inflation are fundamentally a political argument, and not a terribly convincing one at that. Hyperinflation can and does happen, but the doomsayers of such things are well into "boy who cries wolf territory" and can be ignored.
