But you’re assuming that the ATT/DirectTV calls are legit and direct from HQ. DirecTV is resold through 3rd parties all the time, I am pretty sure these calls are from a 3rd party or even a scam.
That's EFS, not EBS. EFS is file-level storage (i.e., NFS); EBS is block-level storage (SAN). AWS Lambda only supports EFS.
Organized groups backed by various governments directly or indirectly will pose as extremists, flooding the platform with bots to post increasingly obscene content while pretending to be organic users. The intention of such groups is to get the platform banned so that users are kept on platforms they control.

This is all rather easily averted and solved if someone actually cared, but no one cares.

The problem could be solved by a sort of KYC (know your customer) rule that then is used to silo the platform on a per country basis.

Imagine a reddit that consisted ONLY of your countrymen's genuine comments, without any bots or alt accounts, without any foreign state actors repeatedly pumping divisive stuff to the top.

Further, imagine a sort of certificate authority for identity per the KYC systen.

Americans using this free speech platform could all be anonymous to eachother, but still visible to the feds if they used the platform to post illegal content. There would then be no need or reason to censor speech. People could talk of taboo subjects freely and openly behind their usernames without having foreign ragebots in a Russian trollfarm tur ing it into a flamewar.

You know, maybe Trump's team that recieved huge investment would build such a thing. Who knows.
"A specific example, my advisor would use my conference paper acceptances to fund their own personal travel and vacations; I was not allowed to present my own first author papers."

That's really very bad. Learning to present to your peers is an important part of the process, as is getting your name and face out in the field.
Largely true, but I think it's a matter of degree. That is, the set of facts that society generally agreed upon was once much larger and less tribally-driven.

I think your example about the economy is perhaps not well-fitted to the argument I'm making. We've always allowed for the interpretation of facts in certain fields or areas of society. So, areas of subjectivity are well circumscribed and expected.

Thus, for instance, it is well-known and accepted that people will offer different opinions on the impact of raising the minimum wage. And it is known that the answer depends on a complex set of variables that can earnestly be interpreted differently.

I think this is qualitatively different from, say, suggesting that a person did or did not say something or that an event did or did not occur, or even offering up something like Qanon with no evidence.

This latter paragraph is what I would describe as comprising objective facts/reality. And, that's what's changed most dramatically.

I’d say it’s understandable though that he prefers to jump. The risk of personal injury is probably much lower that way.

Still many reasons to doubt that there even was an engine failure, but that’s a separate question.
Correct and afaik it still is. There were also a few families that had multiple family members working there. It was (and presumably still is) exceptionally family friendly. Even by Bay Area tech standards.
What blockchains provide is transaction ordering as a service. If Y is an NFT, what prevents that from happening is the code on the blockchain: the same kind of code (literally, on Ethereum) that prevents Y from being a fungible token for a cryptocurrency that they send to two people (aka "double spend").

If Y is not an NFT, but you know the original owner X, and you wish to create an NFT, the same kind of mechanisms work: the first time you attempt to assign ownership is the canonical one. Which you seemed to get up-thread, you just failed to "do the math" to see why digital signatures alone don't support that as you are so sure cryptocurrencies have no value.

If you send two digital signatures to two people claiming they both own something, the big issue is that the second person might not even know the first person exists. You need some kind of mechanism to invalidate the second one by exposing the first one in a trustless global ledger of events.... that's what blockchains provide.

If you only care about the semantics of disputes--which is potentially fair for claims over a physical object: it acts as a kind of "second factor"--you get a long way by just including the entire chain back to the root whenever you transfer ownership, allowing people to show prominence over other chains they obviously dominate...

...but any time there is a conflict--and not just on the original sale!--in your histories you can't compare timestamps to resolve the dispute as you can't trust them: digital signatures cannot show that one thing happened before the other thing as any timestamp is just data being signed, attached by the signer, and is meaningless.

To resolve these conflicts you need to use your distributed ledger to establish that no such signature has been signed previously: you need a way to authoritatively assign prominence. If you have a solution for this, what you have invented is a cryptocurrency and could be used as such (as there is no relevant difference between fungible and non-fungible tokens).

(And note that this is true even if you try to solve this by using some complex web-of trust of a ton of random third-parties or overlapping sets of parties that different people haphazardly might choose to trust instead of a linear blockchain... you are just talking about systems like Holochain or Stellar or Avalanche instead of systems like Bitcoin or Ethereum.)
If your comment were true, there wouldn't be any successful US or European startups. Clearly, that isn't the case. Even getting an MVP built in western countries isn't that expensive IF you know what you're doing.

Unfortunately, I've seen many people spend outrageous sums and little or nothing for it.

Teach yourself how to code, know what you're getting into, get aligned with the right people.

But I think my biggest gripe with your comment is that it makes an excuse for not getting it done.
At the scale I described in my comment, I do not care about normalization. Can you give an example of where I'm likely to lose data integrity?

> I've realized that game development is a great coping mechanism to help you feel safe and in control. You are the master of your own universe. For some reason it also helps you feel worthy, like you've accomplished something.

> I'm not saying gamedev is bad, but I think a lot of people unknowingly use it to self-medicate.

Great insight - IMHO, among the most valuable people can have in life. Of course it is not particular to games or development; it's the motivation for many of us doing many things. Some go to the bar and pick up sex partners - or get in fights, some fix up their homes or cars, some knit, some run marathons, some make FOSS, some do drugs, some bully other people or abuse their pets, some play Call of Duty, etc.

I think the trick is to realize what you are doing - coping, feeling some control, etc,. - accepting that it's a good, healthy instinct, and finding a good healthy way to do it. Art is a great outlet, serial sex partners - usually not so much (not judging, just observing).

The fundamental metric is not to get stuck on 'do I feel better while I'm doing it' but to choose based on, 'do I feel better after I do it' and also, 'is the world slightly better after I do it?'.

Great suggestion.

Generalizing from that, I will search around for collaborative puzzle software. Even more broadly, I suppose cooperative multiplayer games could fall into this category, though it would be a stretch to see those fitting well in a work environment.

I feel like there are other options in this class that predate the escape room, but they are not coming to my mind at the moment.
That is what most people do... which is why those of us who write tutorials, write programming books, write blog posts, and write Stack Overflow answers have a responsibility to go to the source.

The more something gets repeated from person to person, the higher chance that somewhere in that chain, somebody screwed up. That's why people like professors, people who run YouTube programming channels, people who answer C questions on Stack Overflow, etc. should generally strive to cut down the number of links in the chain.

A scam or a dodgy 3rd party (or both?). DirecTV has a reseller program where anyone can become a “retailer”.
It's a different model, like buying groceries vs loaning money to get a farm. There are responsibilities, tied capital, operating risks that may devalue the asset or render it useless, liquidity and asset price risks, and known money sinks and on the upside you may have a valuable asset still on your hands when you move on or kick the bucket. And upside possibilities of course too like windfall from apprecating asset prices.

The main thing that makes renting a worse deal in many jurisdictions are the tax subsidies towards home ownership and taxation of rentals, otherwise in a working market it's a little rentiers profit and a lot of risk pricing / speculation.

Generally renting may take a smaller slice of your cash flow and allow you to invest the difference which will decide which will affect which scenario will come out $$ wise ahead in the endgame.
The presentation is cynical, as xab31 themself attests, but I don't think it's defeatist.

1. Bad work only being displaced by good work: everything works like this. To replace some useless commercial product (take your pick) someone has to come up with something better. Same goes for information.

2. Nobody liking criticism can be rephrased as it being important to attack ideas, not people, when you have to work with those people.

3. "Never question a scientific superior" is the first piece of advise I think is too cynical. As a warning against undermining a colleague in public when you need their support, I agree, and that's kind of a restatement of #1 and #2. But science really does have a culture of publicly debating contentious ideas. You can definitely be more critical in an event specifically held as a debate / open forum than in a presentation Q&A though, and at a social event it's polite to be at least vaguely supportive.

Kind of a tangent to the later points: Day to day scientific research is mostly chasing dead ends and other activity that is (in hindsight) mostly useless, but there is genuine societal value in having a large body of skilled workers available. That is, science spends a lot of time spinning its wheels trying to figure out the right question to ask, and once this becomes clear there is rapid progress. This means the papers published in between the breakthrough periods aren't really worth paying attention to unless you work in that area. Having a lot of scientists and engineers in the workforce so we collectively have a decent chance at obtaining and exploiting next breakthrough is the point, the papers are just a byproduct.
(For others, labels are optional in three senses: not all parameters need to be labelled, the compiler can emit a warning if a label is omitted but you may want this to be an error instead, and there are optional labelled arguments which may be omitted entirely in some cases. Labels are not optional in that the type system is unwilling to convert between labelled/unlabelled or optional/omitted/required parameters and the compiler mostly won’t add hidden coercions between these types)

A common case where the trivial-value syntactic sugar fails looks like:

foo ~some_descriptive_label:t.some_descriptive_label
bar ~something:!something

Or

baz ~the_option:config.the_option

(Why not just pass the config? Two reasons: it is nice to have the interface being explicit about what data is needed, and the function may come from a module that cannot depend on the definition of the config type.)
I mean, if you were far from civilization, it's probably best to wait for rescue next to the crashed plane, no? Much easier to spot from the air.
The fact that tutorials teach incorrect knowledge does not make the knowledge correct.
If you agree to take a job for $100k, and your colleague decided to hold out for $120k, who exactly is defrauding you?

Salary negotiations are not fraud. Fraud involves being promised something and not getting what you agree to.

If someone says they’ll give you X in exchange for Y and then they do exactly that, that isn’t fraud.

> Because society. Literally. You need to "predict" behaviours around you,

But the models aren't valid e.g. astrology.

Does that matter?

It seems not really! Many folks still swear by astrology.

How can that work? In mainstream science, a bad heuristic is useless and fades to oblivion or ridicule.

But society is not science. When people use astrology or racism or any other inaccurate heuristic to anchor their beliefs, they create for themselves a role in society, and relationships with their community that are self-fulfilling.

Think everyone is out to get you? Treat them that way, and they'll think you're weird - someone to be avoided and not trusted.

Think tall people are attractive and short people are ugly? That makes you much more likely to partner with a tall person.

Think everyone deserves a smile first thing in the morning? People are going to smile back, and seek you out at the water cooler.

Think everyone deserves to be heard? People are going to talk to you.

Think black people, or brown people, or pink people, or white people, or tan people, or purple people are not worth listening to? You're going to miss out on their stories, food, culture, friendship, companionship and wisdom.

Society is a laboratory. It's also a mirror.
That will only work for cases where a >= -b. For the more general case:

> a mod b = ((a % b) + b) % b

The first remainder bounds it to -b < x < b. Then adding b goes to 0 < x < 2b. Then the second remainder gets th desired 0 <= x < b.

This will not work for b > max_int / 2 (solution in that case is much mkre language dependent)
Do digital signatures really make the blockchain obsolete if they fill the same niche?

Even if blockchain are technically equivalent to digital signatures, it seems like it has some real advantages from a business perspective:
- it is capturing the market of people who want to buy "official" digital assets and is becoming the de facto way to do so
- the market is one that should have strong network effects
- gaining the trust of that market is crucial to supporting these sort of trades

I still think NFTs are a bubble that will come back down to Earth eventually. But I also find sneaker and stamp collectors equally perplexing, and people don't discuss these phenomena with the same sort of skepticism.

Here's what I have so far:

* I installed Emacs 26.3 using `sudo apt install emacs`

* I installed Melpa by following https://github.com/melpa/melpa/blob/master/README.md#usage

* I installed use-package using `M-x package-install use-package`

Now I'm trying to make sense of your instructions while reading https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package#readme. I don't see a bind-key*, but I do see:

- bind-key

- bind-keymap

- bind-keymap*

Should I try one of those instead? They all seem to be in the context of a `(use-package ...)` declaration.

Edit: Never mind, I do see it now at https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package/blob/master/bind-key...

Edit 2: I just tried it and it didn't work. Turns out I've tried this approach in the past: https://lobste.rs/s/whaez0/emacs_everywhere#c_l6ez9w (edit 2 there, heh)

Wait, the suggestion at the top of that comment now works for me on a few different file extensions!

So, that's a "no" - there's no evidence. (I looked at your recent comment history, came across this[0] which I consider completely deranged, so I'm not too interested in doing what you say. Chomsky & Herman's seeing no atrocities in Cambodia, and you seeing them everywhere in Australia, seem some kind of dual.)

I agree it's "your own device", but Apple's EULA makes it really clear it's only your own device insofar as you can choose to destroy it. They retain a residual right over the hardware, a partial ownership if you will, when it comes to what software is on it. You aren't buying hardware. You're buying an experience. You don't have the right to experience arbitrary software running on it, even if you trust it.

It's one of the reasons I'm not using Apple products anymore.
You can LC for a few months closed door to get a decent SWE job in a good company that can provide you enough agency. PhD on the other hand requires spending 5+ years in a lab cutoff from reality and ending up with no skills to get a real world job. Yes you lose some money (mostly other people money) if a company fails, but the learnings are well worth the loss of money. Its definitely not the case with a PhD.

Big woodwinds are fun. I got to play a contrabass clarinet in college, where you feel the lowest notes even more than you hear them. The opening of Ravel's Concerto for the Left Hand [1]--written for Paul Wittgenstein, Ludwig's brother--has an amazing solo for contrabassoon [2]. And there's Anthony Braxton and his contrabass sax [3]. For all these low instruments, it's best to experience them live.

Well, apparently he’s double vaccinated so I don’t know how someone can call him anti vax. From what I’ve seen, he’s more or less pointing out scientific arguments against vaccinating children or even mandating it for healthy, low risk people. I don’t necessarily agree with what he says, but I don’t see a problem with getting another viewpoint from someone that’s evidently well educated in the field.

> By public services, I meant the public services provided by the state. For instance, health insurance, family doctor application, taxes, etc.

It's not clear why any of these things should be tied together even when they're all provided by the government.

You may have to identify yourself to your employer for taxes, but why should they get the identity used for your healthcare when it isn't any of their business? All it does is create the potential for that to leak. Or vice versa. Your tax returns are none of the business of the doctor you asked out, so these things should not be tied together in any way.

And the only reason the bank wants your government identification is that they're required to by law. Otherwise banks would widely offer numbered accounts. Even then this should only require the identity used for taxes and not the one used for healthcare or military service or professional licensing, none of which is any business of the bank.
Also you need white space diffs to be turned on to spot this change in code review, and this is particularly bad if indentation changed for another reason.
