> Certainly most people do not install a doorbell camera with the intent to violate privacy

Most people will install a doorbell camera that gives them the most functions for the least amount of money. Does the doorbell cot me $10, but give me good quality video? And a way to replay video from last week? And a way to corroborate the video with neighbors video to catch repeat offenders? And a way to share the video with police? Great, I'm sold.

Your privacy? What privacy? It stops where you get too close to my house, I'm a true individual and need to control and protect my house/"castle".
You're the buyer and seller in some transaction. You use it to froth the volume of the asset, making it look like it's a vibrant marketplace with lots of buyers and sellers, but really it's just the Dump It guy and you.
so you get paid to repeat that "the Russians did it" and show a BBS screenshot .. OK, good to know that

I've found JetBrains IDEs have pretty good Git tooling, and can show you history for selection and viewing complex commit histories. What do you use in GitLens that you find better than IDEA? I'm curious if it is worth making the jump.
She was right about “macho engineers” in my opinion. They can be extremely disruptive for both a team and an org.
The same applies for everyone who charges an hourly rate, they have an incentive to work as slowly as possible.
The ability to edit really is a wonderful feature. I find that I perpetually tweak forum/social media/Slack posts a minute or two after posting, just to improve clarity.

The idea of email (even if it carries with it some versioning history) that is editable is really nice.

Is there a way to interface Pony with email directly, so that an app isn't required?

I can imagine giving ISL@ponymail.com out to people with the clear expectation that my SLA for a reply is 24-48 hours instead of instantaneous and that my SLA for their correspondence is also similar.
It's a way to fraudulently pump the price (or lower the price) of a security. One person with two accounts can keep trading back and forth with themselves, and since crypto exchange know-your-customer measures are trivial or nonexistent, it's very easy to get away with.
Is there a way to script IntelliJ?

I find myself in a job with 30ish coupled microservices, because they are coupled flipping between them is not unusual... But trying to set up a project that has all of them as parallel sub-projects, (a) gives me no way to impose a folder hierarchy and (b) it seems like I have to set up Cloud Code and each individual subproject separately.

So I am using VS Code for java dev despite its shortcomings (in particular in the same setup it does not work well with a monorepo hosting those other repos as git submodules, so you want to just load up a plain folder with the microservices in subfolders, but then the Java plugins do not recognize that you have loaded a Java project...) and like it's ok but I did prefer the testing of IntelliJ and some other features... But is there anyway to take these things that take 5 minutes or less to configure on a single microservice/subproject, and apply them to everything with 10 minutes of effort, rather than hours of doing it by hand?
There are incentive problems but other governance issues are significant. Government entities are optimized for steady state and have controls to make individual failure less impacting and change hard. Think about how 50 state DMVs fundamentally work with a low error rate.

In Federal government, you have the added impact of congressional meddling. So as a director managing potentially thousands of employees and a billion dollar budget, you don’t have the legal authority to reallocate people — you may in fact have people doing nothing on one side of the room while the people in the other side are working 12 hour days.

Also keep in mind that unlike corporate entities that can just settle awkward matters in court with NDAs, IC employees are held personally liable for their actions, will not stray off the path and have unions to protect them from management coercion. I consulted for some state/local entities that prosecuted 2-5 employees annually for significant breaches (both malicious and negligent) and would sanction folks with docked pay or progressive discipline for minor violations.
It would be worth noting what percentage of castle from this same period feature a moat or crenelations or arrow slits, right?

The book is about why it's actually a myth. This article is about how stories get started and passed down with no basis in fact, and is really promotional material for the book.

And here we are in 2021, and people are defending a story invented in 1902 about design decisions made more than 500 years prior, and it's unclear how many of them had even heard the original myth before reading this article!

The gnosticism is very strong today.

A "wash trade" is a trade which generates no value because it represents a swap in kind. For example, if I sell a broad market ETF like VTI and buy a nearly identical asset at the same price from a different firm, that could be a "wash trade" for tax purposes (simplifying this, but this is basically the gist). In the context of crypto transactions, it's typically referring to trades which are just shifting the same assets through a cycle of accounts without representing meaningful transactions. For a crypto real world example, see: https://mobile.twitter.com/MarcusFongNFT/status/145391172161...

The argument was that getting rid of the informal, localized social norm enforcement mechanisms (your nosy neighbors, a meddlesome priest, etc) that used to prevent people from fully expressing their individuality created a vacuum that was filled by surveillance.

The argument that localized social norm enforcement has disappeared is old, and goes back to the creation of cities. The vacuum was filled long ago by the creation of organized city police departments. Robert Peel, who organized the London police, was explicit about the police as enforcers of social norms. See Robert Peel's principles of policing.

Large scale surveillance is relatively new. Where it fits is an issue, but it's hard to argue it arose out of that old problem.

Tesla's CEO was sexually harassing the chair of the Senate Finance Committee on Twitter the other day:

"Why does ur pp look like u just came?"

And let's not forget another tweet from Tesla's CEO (Oct 27, 2020):

"Jack in the Box should do double duty as a sperm donor clinic... Wow, this mayo sure is salty!"

This is a peek at Tesla's culture.
Can you explain how this would work, does this mean that every app needs to push all notifications to all PN servers? Like there's the Google one and a theoretical Samsung one, my app has to send all push notifications to both, right, since I don't know a priori which provider you use, and if it's a global setting all apps need to use the same one.

So you either need every app developer to maintain the list of all push providers or someone, presumably Google, to maintain the canonical list and the thing that manages sending them to all the push providers.

Oh and then there's the associated suite of privacy issues. Do you really want every push notification prouder to get even metadata about all of your push notifications?

So this can't be a global setting. Instead it has to be a per-app setting where like the app provider needs to register a callback to update the notification server and support that in app. Of course most won't.
The audio controls in Overcast are what made it must-have software for me. I had a few podcasts with audio so bad they were barely listenable that the voice boost function in Overcast was able to make them actually listenable. That and the shorten silence feature combined with the excellent audio processing if you listen at higher speed have allowed me to really optimize my podcast consumption. Highly recommended!
where did you get that from?
Because it implies that it is the single reason that people don't host their own sites anymore, when in reality people don't because it is generally too difficult, expensive, unreliable and redundant to do so.

Almost nobody wants to host their own social media or messenger site and if you did your friends wouldn't use it too.

Besides, anyone who currently wants to do so can get a cheap VPS for dollars a month.
Not to mention VAX -> VAXen.
The cargo isn't the issue, it's the design.

First, you're making a giant spinning thing that contains a ridiculous amount of energy. If the release of the projectile is off by a millisecond, instead of flying through the outlet it's instead flying into the wall of the launcher where it will deliver all of its kinetic energy in the form of an explosion with the energy of about a half ton of TNT, which sounds bad but really isn't compared to the arm its exploding next to that would release the energy of a small nuke if it gets damaged. This isn't a failure mode that can be monitored and avoided; eventually you're going to have a component fail or a software glitch and before the system can even register that something is wrong the launcher will be a crater.

You're launching bulk material into orbit where no one cares if the occasional launch fails so long as it's cheap, and you're wasting that on a launch system where the most minor failure results in not just the loss of the launch vehicle but the entire infrastructure for launching.

But even if everything works exactly as intended there are still issues. Your giant centrifuge spins up in a vacuum because at those speeds air resistance would be extremely damaging. Unfortunately, after you release the payload, it breaches the seal on the outlet and now you have a giant inrush of air into your vacuum chamber. Unfortunately, the giant arm is still spinning at 8000 kph. The surface of the arm is going to ablate as it moves through sea level air at hypersonic speeds, and its going to generate massive shock waves which are going to reverberate in the chamber. All those precision components for releasing your payload with extreme precision are going to be exposed to these hellish conditions. You're going to need extensive repairs or replacements after every launch.

You're doing all this and you still need a launch vehicle with its own rocket engine and propellant, flight control surfaces and surface protection for its own hypersonic journey through the lower atmosphere. Everything needs to survive ridiculous g forces. All this to deliver a few kilograms of low value cargo?

These problems don't go away as you refine the technology, they are fundamental. You will always need precision release mechanisms to avoid catastrophic failure, you will always be exposed to hypersonic conditions, you will always experience ridiculous g forces, you will always need rockets for orbital insertion, you will always be restricted to low value cargo.

It's an interesting engineering problem; they might learn some cool lessons along the way, maybe some valuable patents will come out of it, but there is no hope for developing a practical space launch method competitive with existing methods.
It's generally true, in any Wikipedia language version (including English), that the fewer people see a Wikipedia article, the greater the chances that it's crap. In the smaller language versions, that risk is obviously even greater than in the larger ones. The Croatian Wikipedia version mentioned in the article, for example, has long been said to be completely compromised:

This kind of behavior will throw us to a nuclear war in some decades from now. Why tolerate a totalitarian regime?
This was possible before social media, but social media (like most technology) allows it to happen faster, on a larger, scale, and cheaply. Before you had to rely on neighbors' gossip. Now you have Facebook, where your "neighbors" from two continents over tell you things are wrong in your neighborhood.
I'd add

- Actually using any of the distinguishing features of prototypical inheritance is nearly always a bad idea, which makes the use of that model in the first place very questionable. One of the cornerstones of the language is pretty much one big foot-gun, to be wholly avoided.
Pretty cool product.

From playing around a little with it, just a few points of feedback.

The first issue I noticed was with LaTeX syntax being presented in search results, e.g. "$${\text {O}}\bigl (f\bigr )$$O(f) rounds or $${\text {O}}\bigl (f\delta \bigr )$$O(fδ) time to achieve consensus". This also appeared in "Most Relevant Sentence" on my favorites page for the same paper (DOI: 10.1007/s00236-019-00334-w).

I also tried abstract summarization with the whitepaper for Cassandra's "CEP-15: General Purpose Transactions", and it came up with completely made-up facts such as describing the ACCORD algorithm (not an acronym) as Atomic Consensus by Convex Ordering of Replicated Data, something like that. I don't know what convex means in this context, but I would suggest tuning this particular feature to be a bit less creative :-)

There seem to be many more features that I haven't tried yet – or don't really have a need for – and it would be good to see those explained more, with examples/tutorials and generally more documentation.

I also second beshrkayali's earlier complaint that the follow-up email is spam. I unsubscribed and reported it as such. I never signed up for this and was never warned I would sign up or given the option not to. Do better.
One example I can remember right now: systemd-resolved which binds to 127.0.0.53. (if that's what you're asking about)
People who use blanket statements unsupported by facts don't bring much to a conversation.

Discrimination again Man in certain jobs (like kindergarten teacher) is long known and widespread.

Even today people judging a man who want to become a Kindergarten teacher as likely pedophile is not uncommon.

I believe that given that kindergarten teachers act to some degree as role models, the lake of male ones might have noticeable negative effects on some children. Especial such which have problematic parents.
I've written about this before more extensively, but my previous company tracked time vs predictions very rigorously and extensively, and they always fit a lognormal distribution shockingly well.
I've had this idea knocking about for a while so it's really nice to see that I wasn't the only one who thought it might work. This looks like a nice implementation - I'm excited to give it a go!

> the logic of Enlightenment values has led to increased social control.

Despite that, fundamentalist Christian communities, closest surrogate for "good days before Enlightenment", espouse much stricter social control than mainstream society.
Anecdotally, it did wonders for me.

I had really stressful workplace environment, it helped me immensely. I feel good effects today as well.
AFAIK, git-annex doesn't address address sub-file deduplication/compression at all, it just stores a new copy for each new hash it sees? I suppose that content-addressed storage, combined with the pre-link strategy discussed elsewhere for the related manyclangs project would produce similar, if less spectacular, results?
I know this is the innernets, but I always get a kick out of responses like the GP's. Wow.

> but then email bridging might just turn it into another email client.

Exactly. My first attempt at Pony was an email service. People tried it, but there was a lot of confusion about the asymmetry of some people being on an instant platform and some people being on Pony. Email comes with its own norms and expectations, and many people viewed Pony as "rebellious" or "anti-social," which was the last thing I was going for. I am trying to create something very pro-social. I decided that my strategy for overcoming network effects would be to build a unique, excellent product that people loved enough to get other people to use it. That's the only way, really, I think.
no you're wrong. The placebo effect works even if you are aware of meds being fake. Look it up.

I can't find anything specific about the theory, except quotes like "Simpson notes the presence of spiral stairs throughout this work, though sadly, when describing Colchester Castle, Essex, he falls into the old trap of claiming that the spiral clockwise spiral stair aids the defender" and a reference to a different 1854 source mentioning it.

Sort of. ROMHacks are modified ROM images of a certain game.

If you knew where in the ROM image the level data was contained, you could modify it. As long as you didn't violate any constraints, the game would run fine.

You could also potentially influence game behavior as well.

The Game Genie and Gameshark were kind based on this concept. Except, being further along the chain, it could write values coming into and out of memory, so other effects were possible.

So, in the case of Super Mario Bros. ROMHacks, they all use Super Mario Bros. as a base ROM. Then from there, all you need to do is store the diff from the base.

> Most sex offenders are men, does not mean most men are sex offenders

I didn't argue it does. It does mean that men are riskier hires though (by whatever marginal percent.)
When you trade a any security to yourself (or someone closely related to you) to give the illusion of the price going up. (EDIT: Well... it could be for any reason. But illusion of price going up is one such application of the strategy).

Lets say you invent a new NFT. You sell the NFT to __yourself__ for $100. Then, you sell the NFT to yourself (again) for $200. Finally, you sell the NFT to yourself for $1000. Then you go to the public and say "Look, my NFT has grown 1000% in the past week, you should get in on it!!"

Then they buy the NFT from you for $500. Then suddenly they can't sell the NFT to anyone, because you were the only one buying ever.

Congrats, you just scammed someone for $500.
This is not surprising to me. Not at all.

In a previous life I ended up in a interview for a marketing position at a smallish company. I was in a room with 8 moderately attractive women aged 25 - 45.

Before I left, I asked what's up with that. Their reply was literally: it just happened.

Frankly, I don't mind. Sometimes it's for the better. Who wants to work for a company where everyone is the same? Not this guy

The naughty part of me would have loved it there, though. At least for a while.
>"they looked at hiring practices. That's an extremely narrow view of the problem domain."

While true, the hiring process itself has an outsized influence on the problem domain because everything else depends on it.

If you discriminate during the hiring stage you can confidently assert you aren't discriminating elsewhere by sheer merit of not having hired the kinds of people you are charged with discriminating against in the first place.

The only way to counter-balance corporate lack of accountability to to change the laws to ensure that if the corporations behave badly their executives go to prison.

Uber stonewalls investigations into their drivers raping customers? Dara gets dragged out of his fancy dinner into the nastiest prison we have while the case makes it through the courts. If it takes 5 years, he gets to spend those 3 years eating cheese and ham.

Apple? Cook goes it.

Google? Sundar.

Facebook? Mark.

That will immediately fix "corporate culture" as the executives will be incentivized to ensure their organization behave. This does not affect the shareholders and shareholder protection rather it should affect officers and directors of the company.
Those are downsides in many situations but the existing systems match your original description perfectly, unless "public" has a special description you didn't communicate.
I heard this question first when it was posed to us in class by a Professor at the Univ of California, Berkeley... Ever since, it has evoked mixed reactions in me... my natural proclivity leans towards "becoming rich is not a priority"... but during the course of life, I have come to realize that those who have the riches tend to write the "rules" at every level of society... and so in retrospect, I keep asking myself, what is smart about handicapping myself in the golf of life by not prioritizing riches?!
Hi, following up on the interesting thread of comments from "pilots" and others on the article, my only question is, did they actually see the aircraft developers who have been selected as the launch customers for Anthem, which are mentioned in the article.

Starting from ~15th century, the mightiest castles in Europe were blown with kegs of powder. Most of those magnificent castles or forts are now as ruins in Europe because of those wars. The reason why UK have preserved those castles is that they had no such equally devastating wars and they were not used for real defence, but clearly their only role is left as prestige of something that was preserved from past.

It all depends on context - medieval castles lost their meanings as defenses 500 years ago. In modern times they are useless as defences - sometimes not even against squatters...
