It's almost certainly due to data protection.

That was much less of a concern before the end of the last century, because access to public records was generally much more work than it is now.

Records were usually either only on paper or if on computer that computer was only accessible to staff. In the case of my county's library system if someone wanted my checkout history they would have to send someone to the library and go through all the books on the shelves looking at the checkout cards to see if my name and library card number were there.

Generally no one would be that interested in most of us. Unless they had a strong reason to specifically be interested in me it was not worth the effort, and generally if I was doing something that would likely cause someone to take such a strong interest I'd know it and could avoid doing things that left those records.

Nowadays, with public records on networked computers accessible via the internet, indexed and cross referenced and archived for eternity, so that anyone who has even a fleeting interest for any random reason in you can quickly and easily find it all, you have to operate as if everyone you draw even the slightest attention from might look everything up.

Another example would be newspapers. As far as I know my name and photo have been published in newspapers twice. It is remotely possible that the second time could be found via an online search, but I'm pretty sure the first time could only now be found by going to the newspaper in question and going through their old microfiche archives in person.

Neither of these were for bad things, but suppose that first time was something bad. It only made the local news, so all I'd have to do is move somewhere else and I could have a fresh start. Maybe I would have to avoid jobs that require a stringent enough background check to send investigators to scour the newspaper archives of every past place I've lived, but aside from that my mistake could stay in my past.

Nowadays your past mistakes if they get into the public record can follow you for the rest of your life unless you do a complete identity change. So now we have to be very careful to make sure nothing that might be seen as mistake (by today's standards or any future standards over the rest of your life!) gets into the record in the first place.
Because they didn't do it better. Even if you ignore that the software support never really got there since it only existed as a feature on expensive MacBook Pros, it just wasn't better. The lack of any feedback makes it hard to use without having to look down at it and made it really easy to trigger something when reaching for a key like delete. I've literally brought up Siri on my MBP hundreds of times by accident before I gave up and made it a space that does nothing.

Once traceable transactions become widespread there's a push to limit cash payments - see reporting requirements for paying more than 10000€ in cash, the amount des not get inflation-adjusted, see other countries with higher percentages of cashless transactions.
So the people who want to pay cashless enable a power-grab by law enforcement. Not intentionally, but through their own convenience. So while their preferences taken on their own are not harmful if you combine them with known dynamics they are in conflict with the preferences of those who want to pay cash.

And I think simple convenience (not having to carry a slightly heavier wallet) does not quite weigh (heh) the same as privacy.

So until we get the ratchet of increasing surveillance solved it is entirely reasonable to push back on cashless transactions.

> getting fired or laid off is a source of intense shame, as well as a big logistical inconvenience

I read this as that it's inconvenient both from a psychological as well as a practical perspective.

You want to avoid shame/guilt, and you want to avoid the hassle of having to run to job interviews, get recommendation letters from old jobs, perhaps move to a new place closer to better employment, get a haircut etc. There are a lot of practical inconveniences to getting fired that could be classified as "logistical".

It's immaterial because the 6 hours of hazing, which resembles nothing like what one would encounter on the job, is the bad part.

Specifically, Ngo posted a lot of videos of BLM riots, and mugshots of people arrested for said rioting, to show they weren't black and in fact were often teachers, government employees etc. Well the establishment didn't like that at all.

Ngo: "Oregon lawmakers introduced a bill to stop public record access to arrest photographs after I documented who was arrested at the riots last year."

And now Twitter introduces this new policy the day after Jack resigns. Presumably stopping people like Ngo tweeting about arrested people had been a long term desire of the internal faction whose ascent is now complete with the new CEO, so bye bye videos of peaceful protests!
Competitive exams are evil, a serious problem in Asian countries including India. People have to survive inhumanly hard, exhausting studying regimes just to land a job which hardly uses a humble portion of what they learnt. Exams should only check if the attendant is skilled sufficiently for the degree/job. Competitive exams could have their organic place in the world as a kind of professional intellectual sports though.

While it might not have been comfortable I had two users separately logged in to a V30 machine (8086 clone) back in the day, one over serial console. That was with Minix 1.5. OS-9 on a CoCo could do a similar trick on even more limited hardware (6809 processor). The problem was with DOS's design.

>To whom?

... or why ?

1) Diversity of people, of experiences and point of views can boost a project (this includes "minorities", genders, countries of origin... but it is not limited to this).
2) Being able to attract more people to contribute can boost a project.

So if you care about an OSS project or OSS in general, that makes sense to think about those issues.

On a bigger picture, people working (often for free) on OSS are doing an amazing job that has a big impact in the world we are living. In a more societal point of view, it also make sense to
1) try to include the views and experience of many different people on project that will have an impact on everybody
2) find ways that more people and more diverse people contribute

Everybody can contribute on an OSS. But there are things preventing some people to contribute and that we can ameliorate. There are ways to make more people and more diverse people to contribute or to contribute more.

The 65816 (much like the 6502 before it) punched way above its weight, but that'd not be enough in the long term.

There was a point neither IBM nor Motorola cared about making PPC CPUs for Apple - that's why Apple moved to Intel. Moving to a bespoke, Apple-only CPU, would only precipitate things by making a series of CPUs just for Apple. Not sure WDC would be able to rival the investment of the big CPU shops of the time.

If, instead of tapping WDC they went to MOS with a roadmap that could accommodate both Apple and Commodore, maybe history would be different. In either case, these are parallel universes I'd love to observe.

That raises the question of how long a link the URL shorteners can handle.

The HTTP specs places no limit on URL length. All the specs say is that browsers have finite limits and recommend that everything that transmits or receives URLs allows at least 8000 characters.

A bit of Googling suggests that Chrome can handle URLs of up to 2 MB, Safari 80K, and Firefox somewhere above 64K.

I can't find anything on how long a URL that the popular shorteners can handle.

Even with the heavy discounts Apple gave to the education market (brilliant strategy, BTW) the Apple IIs were not exactly competitively priced. So much, in fact, PC clones ate away the educational market with a product with a much higher perceived value (kids would learn to use the computers that were going into offices).

A few small corrections:

>Also, it's impossible to hide a satellite in space. Every nation with a space program tracks every orbiting object that's even remotely big enough to be a functional artificial satellite. There are no "stealth" satellites, mostly because you can't hide a launch...

This isn't entirely true. First, satellites absolutely and do maneuver after launch, so they are not limited purely by the orbit they launch into. That is of course limited by how much propellant they carry onboard, but it is done (and for spy sats particularly). Second and more generally, for any object in space it's impossible to have persistent [0] omnidirectional stealth across all bands (due to thermodynamics). However, it's very much possible to have single band stealth (a shape that is radar stealth for example) as well as unidirectional multiband stealth, and because space is so big often that may be enough for a given scenario. For spy satellites in HEO they may as well be presenting a single side all the time to any Earth-based observers, and while some nations could react to that by launching tracking sats even farther the vast majority of actors (anyone on the level of ground-based amateur astronomers for sure) lack that capability. Transmission out can use the same idea, in space P2P laser links are generally invisible out of path, so a stealth sat could stealthily have comms to a non-stealth relay even further out.

As a practical matter right now it seems extremely doubtful any serious such systems are in place due to the huge hit on mission-effective mass which gets worse at distance, though it wouldn't be surprising if there have been some experiments at least. But with launch systems like Starship and enormously more mass to throw at problems, we may well see a certain number of much more serious stealth spy platforms eventually.

----

0: In principle one could achieve perfect EM stealth temporarily by carrying onboard empty volume, a heat and a cold source (like a whole lot of liquid helium/nitrogen) then running as a closed system performing thermodynamic work averaging those out. Could run for some fixed period of time until the useful differential was exhausted and only be observable by interaction with mass in space or gravity. But who knows if that'll ever actually get utilized, since the unidirectional concept can be extended by an advanced space faring organization too. One can keep going farther and farther away from a target and compensate with a larger aperture with enough space capacity. If we imagine some aliens or something with an Earth observing stealth platform out in the Oort cloud say, it could be a kilometer across and very hot on the extrasolar facing side yet still damn near impossible for us to notice. Or of course someone could hide in the thermal noise of other sources. Interesting to speculate about from a hard scifi perspective anyway.

So my slight off-topic to your slight off-topic: I want to learn dance myself but after using "barefoot" shoes for last few years when I see dance (men) shoes they scream to me moving in them will be painful, because of narrow toe box. There are no dance shoes with wide toe box, like anywhere.

So I ordered custom made and should get them next week. It was actually hard to convince shoe maker to create one. I checked them in the middle if fitting is OK, and even that they are not as wide as I would like they are still way better than any ready to buy set.

This regurgitates the well-known incorrect or misleading pop-sci descriptions of quantum physics ideas one has come to expect from pop science writers and science communicators of the day.

> "electrons or photons can instantaneously affect each other over arbitrary distances" - this is one suggested interpretation of correlation experiment results, and it is not one shared by majority of physicists.

> "a quantum object exists in different states until it is measured" - no, quantum system is always in some single quantum state, or we don't talk about this state and use density matrix instead. The "different states at the same time" is just incorrect description of the idea of superposition of states. Superposition is a math operation, which takes many states but always results in a single state. It's like saying a stone in flight is in many states, because we can express its trajectory as Fourier series of many different wave motions. It's needless and misleading.

> "a real physical force emerges from the apparent nothingness of vacuum (the Casimir effect)" - not from nothingness. This refers to hypothetical electromagnetic zero point energy effects. Zero point energy is not nothingness. Also, Casimir effect can be explained in different ways, for example as EM interaction of the microscopic objects (similar to van der Waals forces).

To my surprise, the author is a physicist. It's so incomprehensible to me that a physics professional who should know better than use cheap woo, descends to this low level.

I wonder why this is happening to scientists in our society. Is it being unsuccessful or tired by their work? Trying to get more recognition in non-scientific circles? More funding? Whatever the reason, this is not the right way to communicate science.
