Afaik not many/any of the decentralized self-certifying options- non block chain options- have cross-certifying. How can I sign my friend's identity & publish that? There's a bunch of content replicators... but i feel like the identify/certification layer needs special handling, needs wider replication; it's such a bse layer below the content itself.

Perhaps the actual mechanics/replication could be handled as just more content, maybe, but there should be management/admin handling to help wrangle the certificate layer.

This seems like an awfully abstract theory.

I think it's simpler to say that "Merry Christmas" vs "Happy Holidays" has become this point of contention because Merry Christmas only applies to Christians, whereas Happy Holidays does not.

The divisive, bi-partisan nature of American politics has just turned this small distinction into a fight.

Most advice is quite specific for people in certain circumstances and useless or even harmful for people outside those circumstances.

Should you save save up for retirement and be generally financially sensible? Of course, but there are plenty of exceptions. For example, for the terminally ill it is terrible advice, and neither is the traditional "save 10% of income and invest in index funds" advice applicable to newly minted millionaires who have just won the startup lottery.

"Turn the other cheek" is great advice 99% of the time, but terrible advice in a relationship with an abusive spouse.

"When in doubt, assume stupidity over malice" is extremely easy to abuse by malicious actors.

In general, even well-meaning advice givers on the internet often don't realize that their advice is not universally applicable or forget to add a warning label stating the same. (And, of course, not everyone on the internet is well-meaning in the first place)
Well the goal is to recognize a face, not to match a specific face to a specific person. So you can train an AF model to to center focus on the center of the sunglasses. Even with the 'track these specific faces' features, since your still not trying to unique identify someone, the model can latch on to generic features like "red sunglasses, brown skin, surgical mask & this general shape".
You must notice how those are the fuzziest, least actionable requests possible? If you don't like the man, fine, but what's the point of complaining that he doesn't have a magic wand?
Remote work won't be ruined by this. In fact, it's perfect.

The premise is that the average person puts in 10x the effort for a 1% return on investment. You are an employee, sure, but are "investing" the company in terms of life-hours you could spend elsewhere. Naturally, you want to therefore minimize work and maximize salary. The ultimate situation being getting regular raises by doing 20-50% less than is expected to you.

If employers don't want this the solution is simple. It's not finding these people and firing them. It's paying people commensurate to their effort like a real meritocracy would.

If someone can hold 2 jobs working at 50% brain capacity then they are obviously very talented and quite crafty. You pay this person enough, they will dedicate 100% of their brain to your project. The employer side of the equation is JUST as exploitative as the employee side. It's just far, far, far more common for the employee to be exploited. For example, via pagerduty, poor hiring practices leading to overwork, or overtasking.

This is wonderful. Anyone who is truly a libertarian should be encouraging this. It's the perfect free market solution to exploitative labor. You dont get paid past 40 hours for your salary. Why should you reduce YOUR OWN worth to make a company's bottom line bigger? Unless you hold ITM options in the company the answer is you don't and shouldn't. You should be exploiting them at every turn.

The entire premise of your argument is incorrect.
My 'side project' is pretty conventional, but it surprises people to learn how much I've earned from it with very little effort. At least once or twice a week, I use my lunch break to walk to the local thrift store. I look up items on eBay as I browse and buy anything that would net me $20+ (basically to cover my lunch). I stick to the 'hard goods' section (things like electronics, games, DVDs, home appliances, books, etc). I avoid clothing which is difficult to browse quickly, difficult to list and difficult to find comparable items. I also avoid anything that would be unwieldy to carry home or ship.

The first year I started doing this, I grossed about $20000. Last year was bad. Our thrift stores shut down because of Covid. In late June of this year, I started back up slowly because our thrift stores came back. My gross for the last six months is $3,238.63. And again, because of Covid, I've stopped going daily like I was which cut into my fun money.

Last year I bought a brand new pinball machine from my thrift store finds.

Some tips:

If you can go every day, you only have to look at the 'new' stuff which saves lots of time.

The eBay app has a barcode scanner so you can look up anything that's in its original packaging by just scanning it.

Don't pass up anything vintage looking that's still sealed (even if it looks worthless). I sold nearly $100 worth of new in package vintage incandescent bulbs a little while back. I got the lot of them for like $10.

Save all the boxes you have coming to your house in advance of starting this. You can't sell stuff that you can't easily box up and ship.

Never use the post office or UPS/FedEx store. You can get a significant discount through pirateship.com (free to use, offers steep US Postal and UPS discounts) or even eBay's own shipping.

EDIT: A few more tips...

Once you're shipping at least one thing a week, buy a label printer like a Rollo Thermal Printer. It will save you lots of wasted time and energy in printing out, cutting the shipping label to size, taping it to the package securely, etc.

Invest in a good industrial shipping tape gun (not those cheap little plastic ones), get good brand-name shipping tape and a couple of large rolls of bubble wrap... also, start saving the packaging that comes into your house from your online purchases to be reused.

Get a bunch of 'newsprint' packing paper for packing up your stuff.

Basically: don't cheap out on supplies.

Stay organized. I use a set of plastic bins in the basement to store my items once they're listed.
Successfully boostrapping a decent SaaS sounds way more challenging in my eyes, got any tips on resources to read to make that be as obvious a task as it seems to be in your eyes?
I genuinely don't get the point of 2 remote jobs. The tech wage scaling is absolutely bonkers right now and the value proposition of this system is not clear to me.

Assuming you only work 20 of your 40 hrs/week in each job, you are still working a fulltime job with 2x your salary. If someone is competent enough to sustain 2 jobs, they will also get quickly promoted to 2x their salary if they are working one job.

Now work a couple of years in this job, and soon you'll be able to complete its responsibilities in 20ish hrs/week. Every job gets easier overtime in that sense.

I think it would be cool to have a structure with a line where, no matter where vertically (within a large range of vertical positions) a single glider crossed the line to the right , and no matter which of the 4(?) phases the glider has, signals would be sent somewhere indicating generally where the glider crossed, and the structure eventually returning to how it was (other than the signals it sent out) .

Is such a structure possible? If so, how short can its recovery time be?

How good can the resolution of how specifically it detects the locations of the gliders be?

We know that GoL is Turing complete, and if the field is initialized with random noise, then for any fixed finite pattern, as the board size goes to infinity, the probability that that pattern appears somewhere in the noise approaches 1. (of course, I'm talking about enormous board sizes, possibly with many many more cells than there are protons in the visible universe, not talking about anything resembling practicality.) If intelligence and agency is computable (which, it seems like it should be), "any fixed finite pattern" would include structures which, for some amount of time, before they are destroyed by surrounding noise, would simulate an intelligent agent.

If there are structures which, when surrounded by stuff initialized with noise, has a high probability of being able to withstand this noise, and then proceed to clear out the noise in order to e.g. make copy of itself, or just to grow, then we would expect the fraction of an infinite board containing such patterns (or things derived from them) to grow over time.

But, whether such structures can exist in GoL, in part depends, I think, on whether any large structures can withstand noise (or, having a high chance of withstanding it).

(I am defining "structures" in a way where a structure is allowed to include as part of it a large empty region (of any fixed size) on its periphery. This should assist in withstanding the noise, because it limits what things the core part of the structure could be faced with, to things which can travel a distance)

I share a similar sentiment/observation. I am OK with the world where the occasional mistake occurs with algorithms. But when things like this continually happen with Facebook algorithm, it feels as though they are trying to outsource too much but should involve humans to computers.

In short, their tools tend to be overly restrictive, airing on the side of rejecting. I’m not sure thats right
I think the point they’re highlighting is that this is a “free market success story”. The private company did what it wanted (automated moderation), and ultimately the removed post got reinstated anyways.

Meaning it’s hypocritical of conservatives to be offended by this. Liberals are less for unregulated free markets, so it isn’t hypocritical of liberals to be for regulation or whatever to prevent private companies from doing this or that.
This makes it sound like there are only 2 options: maximizing profit while disregarding ethics or losing money. Isn’t there another option?

For most businesses it should be possible to be profitable and ethical at the same time, profit will not be as high as it could be but that’s ok for me and I’m sure there investors who agree (maybe not a lot).
There's a time i worked like 4 jobs at the same time. Such a nightmare and my advice is, just keep at most 2 jobs only.

The key to success to me, is to kill procastination as fast as possible, seeking for help as soon as possible. Relax well, eat well. The job is getting the job done, not broken.
Emacs Calc (not unlike much of the rest of Emacs) is a little ... special. By default, it calculates 4/2*2 as 1, because multiplication has a higher precedence than division.

I have extended family members who are employees of Hawaii's State Government. The stories they tell... Let me just say that the sheer incompetence and horrible systems design people claim are responsible for that day are entirely reasonable.

The heart of the problem is that government jobs are extremely lucrative for the people of Hawaii because they pay well and because it is extraordinarily difficult to get fired from one. While direct nepotism isn't common, everyone is basically part of this giant extended family. Knowing the right person can land you one of these jobs-for-life even if you're barely qualified for it. There is also a culture of not rocking the boat. Trying to get freeloaders fired subjects you to ostracism. So what ends up happening is a few people end up doing the majority of the work. While this isn't unique to Hawaii, those people who are actually productive end up following their own version of 'the process' and the result is that people are rarely sure if what they are told to do is really what they should be doing.

I would like to submit this as supporting evidence: "A password for the Hawaii emergency agency was hiding in a public photo, written on a post-it note"

The problem I'd see is that the raw randomness of electronics is not the nice, uniform distribution that indeed may help NNs learns. It can be, often is, biased, skewed, time-varying and just about anything else. It could vary from one part of the chip to another, one chip to another and so-forth. The various circuits exists to turn a wide range of noise into digital ons and offs. Which means the raw circuits can have this wide range unless controlled.

It's worth considering that no one uses raw electronic noise for random/pseudo-random number generators. And that's an application that's in demand.

I really agree with what you are saying, but counterintuitively buying “into the company vision as much as possible” seems to result in the most burnout for me when reality eventually hits.

I’ve been trying to figure out how to temper my natural tendency to go all-in with the reality that everything has some shit that sucks. I can understand the hope that there might be some psychological ease associated with dissociating yourself from the vision.
Yes but that's a necessity to support lawful contracts between a person and an organization e.g. a loan provider.

The data subject, as I think, is the owner. They have rights over how and when their data is used & e.g. have a right to be forgotten.

They do not, however, always have the power to exercise their 'full' rights in cases where they've entered a binding contract. Such as trying to exercise the 'right to be forgotten' with a company who provided a loan they've defaulted on. They do however have the right through law to instruct the controller to use the data in the bare minimum ways they need to reasonably execute the contract.

A reasonable data protection legislation needs to side with the controller in some situations else it would be otherwise incompatible with modern society / law.

It certainly does help more than harm imo, especially when it comes to marketing / advertising.
Yeah, damn. I thought LWN was going to go away. That would have been really upsetting. :(
> Now supporting Facebook, Twitter and Youtube, behemoths which represent the excess of capitalism is considered hip, cool and progressive.

Isn't that great though? If it's now hip and cool, even the dumb/vain people will do the right thing (albeit for the wrong reasons) which should ultimately strengthen the alternatives to Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
So with zero profit, operating on a razor line at all times, what's your plan for major acquisitions or severe shock events outside of your control (eg national economic recession)? Where is the cash to come from on that terrible rainy day or when a huge opportunity presents and you need cash.

If you're not building cash, how do you plan to avoid catastrophic, unnecessary damage to your business structure when a recession hits? Banks hate to lend during recession, and lending gets a lot more expensive when times are bad.

And banks generally are horrible alternatives when it comes to capital for acquisitions, unless you're a large corporation.

Dependent on venture capital? Another horrible, expensive alternative to profit.

You're seeing inefficiency in profit because you're not pricing in everything in the operating life of a business correctly.

I'm a nuke proponent but it's very worth pointing out that a nuclear reactor that has been recently shutdown will need days of cooling to be available in order to safely avoid damage to the reactor and potential meltdown, pressure spikes, etc.

New-ish designs can do the cooling completely passively but not all active nuclear reactors are so equipped (Fukushima's Daiichi's ancient BWR design needed active cooling, which failed in the tsunami, while the slightly newer BWR design at Fukushima Daini survived the tsunami damage without further core damage).

I don't use Facebook, which is maybe why I don't care how they manage their service and also why it seems clear to me that there are other social media platforms, other web sites, I could make my own web site, hell I could send letters in the mail. Suffice to say a single message being deleted on Facebook is not censorship of the individual that had this issue.
