imo there's not really a lot of genuinely liberal rags that seem well to do. for a good long while huffpo seemed like new establishment, like a rare new force that would perhaps be forever be of means.

i can think of few more recent upcomers who seem likely to have potential long-term significance & largess. there's plenty of good journalism happening, but there's few visible potential left-of-center entities that seem likely to endure, to be of size, to already have the ball rolling.

sure yeah huffpo wasn't the absolute most ideal & perfect. but it was by far the right direction. far more calibrated & earnest & less encumbered by really bad & awful than basically almost everyone else.
I remember the cynical Reddit comments warning of Google leaving the Korean market before allowing for third party payments.
My understanding is that the dat protocol is basically BitTorrent with version control, so that you can update e.g. a website published on it rather than everyone always sharing whatever version of a file was originally uploaded. https://www.datprotocol.com/

My understanding is that Hypercore is the successor to dat and also operates along similar lines, but I'll admit that the details are over my head. https://hypercore-protocol.org/

Beaker Browser originally built on top of dat, underwent a significant rewrite and now uses Hypercore instead. https://beakerbrowser.com/

> wrt blockchain I was actually thinking of peers getting payed with cryptocurrency for participating in the p2p network and storing/providing non-blockchain assets.

It’s easy to imagine where the money goes out, but where does the money come in?

Obviously the answer is “the users” but that’s the problem: Not many users are going to be interested in paying ongoing fees just to exist on a social network when they can get the same thing for free.

There will always be a core group of true believers who will pay for these networks, but the networks aren’t very useful if it’s limited to a small group of people willing to go through all of the trouble and keep paying just to exist on it.

This is the big question that a lot of the web3 conversations conveniently sidestep: How much is it going to cost? Everyone seems to assume some hypothetical future blockchain that costs very little, but the bottom line is that you still have to incentivize all of the nodes and peers to keep the data and you need to do so in a decentralized manner that will always be orders of magnitude less efficient than hosting on a standard cloud server. That inefficiency is expensive.

> But, this particular comment thread is about addressing this class of bug in Ruby via tests, and my vote would be generally no.

I'm pretty sure I started the comment thread ;).

I think there's a couple of scenarios when a function gets some rogue input (e.g., a string instead of an integer) which then triggers a NoMethodError. I agree that tests don't really help you here - what are you testing, that your method correctly throws a NoMethodError? That being said, to combat this issue you often see dynamically typed codebases littered with scattershot validation, i.e. fail gracefully if you somehow wind up with an unexpected input. And then you often write tests for that. Static typing often obviates these tests, because presumably the rogue input has already been handled further up the call stack. Stubbing is the other issue; I think it happens much more frequently than you suggest that A is tested (stubbing B) and B is tested in isolation; or perhaps there's only one test of A which doesn't stub B, and that test doesn't happen to trigger the NoMethodError.

So I think we're mostly agreeing, but I do think you get to write fewer tests overall.

> It obviously can happen, but I just don't see those name collisions ever happening.

It has happened to me (I think in the Rails context less often) but I agree it's not exactly common. It is deadly when it does, though.
When human rights are denied anywhere, it is the business of people everywhere.

may you be so blessed as to be able to do this. sure, often not. but both sides of the pact, leader & follower, kind of ought aspire to this mantra. imo.

what helps people align themselves the most is making a visible, clear org. that doesn't have anywhere near as rampant "getting in the room. and staying there"[1] problems. which all orgs do because the orgs can't hire folk, listen, and get out of the way. because the org can't share, can't democratize itself.

in practice yes. get out of the way is too sunny. for rarely do we create the conditions where opportunity, understanding, alignment are available & visible & opt-in-to-able.

> I'm writing with Hacker News readers, and especially developers in mind

Not all developers are system administrators, which is one of the reasons why MacOS is vastly more popular among developers than Linux. Imagine executing `sudo apt install npm` or `sudo apt install python-pip` and having your desktop wiped out just because you were in a hurry and assumed that everything would work out (which, admittedly, it usually does). I know how to recover from that, not all developers would.

> That's why, imo, distributions that target users migrating from Windows— especially distros that target Windows ‘power users’— should generally direct users away from package managers like apt in favor of package managers which avoid negotiating dependency conflicts in a single global namespace, like Flatpak

Agreed when it comes to Flatpak (I despise it though).

> I have recommended desktop Linux to totally non-technical people I'm willing to support, though.

I've done that before and those people usually turn into help vampires, so I don't do it anymore.

If it's safe, why were the industrial drug dealers given legal immunity before it even started?

If it's effective, why do we need boosters?

It's a convenient money grab for industrial drug dealers, and their pet politicians get a power grab.

The smallpox vaccine didn't need a booster after six months. Because it's a vaccine.

The COVID preparations do, because they're not vaccines. They're treatments. That are risky, and weakly effective.

They're only called "vaccines" because the Ministry of Truth has been very busy this year rewriting the definition of "vaccine".
I like how you call my comment "pure fiction" and then launch into a bit of highly opinionated speculative fiction regarding what "life on Mars" will surely be like.

your testing is not thorough, there are many other things the "censorship list" could be used for, including not censoring at all, rather "forward this user's internet searches to china", and the things it does could be turned on and off based on other parameters

Which, if your observation is true, that shopping cart return is motivated by utilitarian incentive. "If most of us do it, things work better and most us do so it makes sense."

Disagree with that all you like, you might well be right. I claim whatever it is it's a long way from promiscuity increasing with a decline in consequence for sexual activity from saying anything about the morals of those who would have loved to fornicate but lacked opportunity prior. Or indeed those so easily swayed by the "everyone does it" argument and were making a virtue of their lack off reasonable opportunity. Reasonable people may disagree with that of course.

Usually this kind of thing is imposed morality which isn't individual morals. "I want everyone else to follow what I think is moral by making (sex/drugs/other thing I dislike) have dire consequences through policy because I can't convince _them_ to do the right thing because _they_ lack [my] morals."

What's excessive speeding?

There is fairly robust evidence that prevailing natural speed of traffic is safest and limits that aren't appropriate for the road often reduce safety, as it is the speed differential that's dangerous, not so much the absolute number.

If you set limits too low for driving conditions, you in fact endanger people by policy, instead of helping. It's a valid and commonly raised defence against speeding in many states.

Reckless driving is distinct from excessive speeding all, probably best not to mix up two very different things.

Reckless charge can happen at any speed, even 1km/hr, but it does require proof of intent, and is a strict liability offence. speeding is an absolute liability offence without the mens rhea element.

You are praising Singapore, where death penalties for 500g of some psychoactive substances seem to be effective.

If they were able to eradicate a technology we had for 5000+ years, I'm sure a death penalty for installing surveillance equipment/cameras could very well go a long way in Bay Area as well.

Your statements seem contradictory. Why wouldn't a death penalty for all Ring owners work?
> In other words: you'd have to get 1300 people to wear masks to prevent one seropositive. (Oh, and by the way? The confidence interval on that overlaps zero.)

That's not accurate unless I'm missing something... sticking with just the surgical mask arm -- the effect size of 0.08% was based on a binary mask vs. non-mask intervention. It has no relation to the number of people masking. The intervention was getting more people to mask -- they succeeded mildly, where 6/10 people still hadn't masked. But that was sufficient for a 10% reduction in seropositive cases.

Edit;

They actually address this specifically;

Our estimates suggest that mask-wearing increased by 28.8 percentage points, corresponding to an estimated 51,347 additional adults wearing masks in intervention villages, and this effect was persistent even after active mask promotion was discontinued. The intervention led to a 9.3% reduction in symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence (which corresponds to a 103 fewer symptomatic seropositives) and an 11.9% reduction in the prevalence of COVID-like symptoms, corresponding to 1,587 fewer people reporting these symptoms.

So for 51,000 people additional people wearing masks -- 1,600 people were spared Covid symptoms and 103 people were spared symptoms + seropostive diagnosis. This with only a total of 42% of people wearing masks and a relatively low level of underlying Covid.

It's an especially obvious intervention based on the exponential potential of Covid infection and early R0 of 6 or whatever it was, plus how effective the surgical masks were (especially in older age groups via Figure 3).
Two random thoughts:

1. Humans cannot always interact with their surroundings at 100% mental clarity. Stupid mistakes can and will be made even by the most careful and skilled person. Fool-proof or defensive design features are very well embraced by engineers and the results have been a resounding positive.

2. Some interventions are probably not as benign as people assume, and this could become a confounding factor when it comes to analysing the outcome. Some motorcycle helmets, for example, have been found to trap CO2 at concentrations known to have a negative cognitive effect.

Why does the mental illness part of this matter at all? He is at any time liable to go out of his mind and ruin people's lives, given a platform to do so. It doesn't make any difference about why that happens; he shouldn't have a platform. I don't care what's wrong with his brain, I care what's wrong with his actions and mitigating the effects of them.

A blind person should not be driving, regardless of how "ableist" this opinion makes me. Likewise, a mentally ill man with a history of life altering slander should not be writing for a public platform.
Solving probability and statistics problems by Program Synthesis
This article talks about their fear that masks would cause reckless behavior being a main reason they told everyone they were useless, but another one I've heard in interviews is they thought medical staff needed them more and the public could not be trusted not to hog them if they told the truth. Pretty clear that waffling was a total disaster with serious harmful effects.
The main problem is that there's a self-governing, democratic nation of 23 million people nearby that the CCP regularly threatens to invade. We've grown rather fond of those people and do a lot of mutually beneficial trade with them.

Racism. It's pretty simple. The real thing that CRT accomplishes is the acceptance of its predicate--

Namely, that we can be divided into simple groups almost always by sight, and then are somehow guilty by association for what others who look like us have done, in the past, regardless of our actual connection to those events.

That's just a restatement of racism and original sin.

I say it's original sin because--there's nothing you can do to change things or make yourself better. You are permanently damned by what the worst person ever with your skin tone did.

I say racism because it redefines racism in such a way that racism towards men and whites is mostly OK. The goal here really isn't to move the pendulum to the center, its to move it the opposite direction where white men in particular are the lowest status.

I do believe in structural racism, but I wonder sometimes how much of the racism on the right could have been avoided if we hadn't told them they were all irredeemable racists and that we hated them. The vitriol kind of makes everyone have to pick a side.

The move from print media to online publishing destroyed the barriers to entry that the large media companies used to enjoy. Huffington Post used this to rise up while print media faltered. The bandwidth, server, and tech costs have likewise fallen in the years since they were founded, making start ups in this space even less expensive. The barriers to entry that outfits like HuffPost used to enjoy are gone. Now it's a question of who can rake the most muck because the ability to draw attention is now the top barrier. In the near future this might be moot and the main barrier will be the ability to appease CloudFlare, AWS, and domain registrars.

I work on iSH, which ships Alpine Linux for iPhone, so I know this error by heart: people constantly try to run software that relies on glibc, which fails on Alpine because of the missing interpreter. I guess it’s certainly a way to teach people about the differences in libcs, but it’s generally hard for people to figure out for exactly the reason given in the blog post. I wished that shells did a bit more here and tried to figure out if the ENOENT was from a missing interpreter or binary, but maybe I’m asking too much…
