Why “Web Key Directory” instead of public keyservers
That's not quite what I'm seeing, instead that what I believe you're talking about (Morse code over open air with a Diana cipher backed by one time pads) were pretty much exclusively used by special forces in Vietnam. The issues with key distribution inherent in one time pads otherwise got in the way of cross team cooperation too much since each pad would only exist in two places (the spec ops team, and a major base close by, but not a FOB in case it was overrun).

They might have taught that use case to radio operator MOSs, but it wasn't actually deployed in the general case it seems.
Have we all really been parroting Jim Cramer all these years? That's really quite sad.

In my experience, a lot of people still use Facebook, but in a completely different way than, say, 5 or 10 years ago.
In the past, I would check it many times a day to see what my friends were up to, or to see what events we could go together to. Now what I see is mostly reposts of memes and ragebaits. Part of the reason is probably that we got older and I moved (the latter being the main reason I still use Facebook, to keep in touch with people), but since younger people moved to other networks, that doesn't change much in my opinion.

Also, people die. I already get from time a reminder of the birthday of somebody that I know died. That's creepy as hell and it's only going to get worse.

In my opinion the only redeeming feature of Facebook at the moment are private groups, but that in my opinion is not enough to sustain a social network, since many are moving to WhatsApp, Telegram and the like.
Have you used HBO Max recently? Aside from the first month or so it’s been nearly flawless for me across a variety of platforms (Roku/Chromecast/iPhone).

And the first month pains were very clearly because it was rushed out to time it with the release of certain IPs during the pandemic.
I would think that virtue signaling is good. It sure sounds good.

"Virtue" means " Moral excellence and righteousness; goodness."

"Signaling" means "An indicator, such as a gesture or colored light, that serves as a means of communication."

So, basically if I'm morally excellent and I communicate that to you, that's a bad thing? Why is that? Is it because it makes you feel bad?

Same question about "woke". Like, "not asleep"? How is that bad?

I just feel like these terms are thoughtlessly bandied about. They're never really defined. They actually don't sound bad, but they're used in a pejorative context. It's just really strange.

MySpace died because it became a minority player in a quickly growing landscape, at a time where alternatives were available.

To simplify, if you have captured over 50 percent of the entire english-speaking Internet population, sure you have a huge network effect behind you. But if that population count is multiplied by 100x and your numbers don't grow alongside that, your network effect is not as strong.
My wife was working there at their peak (and left at just the right time—I like to think that their decline was the inevitable result of her departure). They had such high engagement that they had a hard time selling enough ads to fill all the available ad slots.
I am not talking about reparations. No one is looking for charity or concessions from Europeans anyway.

I do not think very many people hold a grudge either. You are just firing all over the place.

My statement is simple, Europeans are used to seeing their colonies as a poorer and miserable mirror image of themselves.

As much as a white evangelist see their recent converts, as a white man's burden.

Except for political independence, colonial institutions and traditions remain the same on both sides. Whether it is the BBC, the labour party, the royalty or the universities their mindset remains in the colonial Era.

There is a clear repulsion to intellectual independence or the ex-colonies developing independent institutions. This revulsion is similar to the one a white evangelist feels when native traditions or religions make a come back and he/she is loosing his/her flock.
> I find that claim surprising considering how many more people there are simply using the internet at all.

Most of these many more people are mobile users, where creating long-style text content can be quite bothersome.

What ain't bothersome, with a smartphone, is taking pictures and videos to slap filters over them, alas that's why we are where we are with TicToc, Instagram and Twitter dominating large parts of the web.

It's even noticeable in a lot of online discussions with text outside of these communities; The average length of forum posts feels like it's gotten way shorter over the decades. People have less attention to read anything that looks longer than a few sentences, often declaring it a "wall of text" based on quantity of text alone.

Imho it's a big part of what drives misinformation; Doing any kind of online research on a small phone screen is extremely bothersome compared to the workspace an actual computer/laptop, particularly with multi-monitor, gives.

There's also the difference in attention; When I sit down at my laptop/desktop, I actively decide to spend and focus my attention on that task and device.

While smartphone usage is mostly dominated by short bursts of "can't do anything else right now", I don't chose to take out my phone and surf the web, it's something I do when I'm stuck in some place with nothing else to do and no access to an actual computer.

But for the majority of web-users [0], that smartphone access to the web is all they know, which then ends up heavily shaping the ways they consume and contribute to it.

It doesn't translate the text, you have to put in text in the target language. But you can record audio speaking in any language you want.
This is my take as well.

People — of all backgrounds — only want a stable comfortable life where they can pursue their interests and goals.

Identity/race politics are just a distraction to keep the low/middle class fighting amongst themselves while the upper classes rake in unprecedented amounts of wealth.

I believe that individuals are complex and unique and deserve to be treated as individuals instead of a member of an identity group.

I fear the day when I have to take a side in the identity/race war. In the past 2 years I have noticed that identity/race politics have entered my workplace. Luckily I haven’t had to take a side, but the day I am forced to utter a political incantation is the day I quit my job.
Yeah fake reviews is a good point, but Amazon isn't primarily a product review company so i don't see it as an apples to apples existential threat like poor quality search is for Google.

Also, Amazon could easily reel in 3rd party sellers and impose quality control. It's an unused lever in their toolbox. They've decided that exchanging brand quality for higher free cash flow is a better trade off for the time being.
> That said I wouldn't recommend keeping hens unless you've had exposure to them on some level other than visiting a farm.

I recently bought a few acres in SE Texas and several people have recommend I raise chickens both for the eggs and also to help with some of the insects around here.

Why don't you recommend it?
And have you checked out their VR offering? It's technology witchcraft I tell you.
Yes, it's a trivial annoyance. That's the human, normal way of looking at this, not like it's some massive festering grievance as some people seem to feel.
I have in-laws in the independent ranching industry and the lack of slaughter house/packer capacity is a real problem. Around here at least supply and demand is working as there is a company trying to open up a new plant, but it is taking years to get past NIMBYism and environmental reviews.

I wonder if an alternative model is to look into public/private partnerships where the government establishes the land and permitting for additional meat packing plants and then offers it as a lease package to private business to construct and operate. The Feds seem to be better at ignoring NIMBYism and they certainly have enough BLM land out west.

Amiga was assured world domination (due to physics) until somethingBad happened. A fight in the boardroom led to the CEO who orchestrated this path quickly departing the company and hiring an Indian to create a knock-off which they then marketed under the Atari logo that they reportedly bought for a mere $45K. The knock-off was a cheap imitation (due to physics), but the CEO knew exactly how to market it as the real deal. Because it wasn’t the real deal, it couldn’t do much, but that was okay because, as you point out, most of the public didn’t know what the real deal could actually do. The result was predictable. The traditional buyers of computers from that era (businesses) began associating Amiga with Atari, a brand that they had grown up to associate with video game kiosks at Pizza Hut and later, the 2600. It is a foregone conclusion that you can be fired for procuring video games for your business computing needs and so Amiga lost access to that vast market (while the minicomputer companies like DEC got a few years of extra life, enabling the rise of Windows NT that today is called Windows 11). Commodore BUSINESS Machines went under, the creative team it bought from Amiga Inc (which had always considered gaming to be an important market, but not necessarily a viable one at that time) disbanded and some died of personal self destruction. Of course Atari died too, there really was no market for such expensive gaming systems then, whether they were knock-offs or the real thing. The last I heard, the sons of the bastard CEO who did this had taken over Atari. (In fairness, despite human carnage created by his Boardroom war, that CEO had survived the atrocities of Nazi death camps as a youth, but his family did not.) To your other point, I had a stack of Amigas “on the Net” back in the 80s (via UUCP). If you’re talking about web surfing via broadband, I could write the drivers and solder the Zoro card together, but why —Amiga is for NTSC video (which I suspect is as familiar to you as vehicles with distributor caps.)

As for rPi, they’re great, but how surprised would you be to find out what’s in that proprietary ROM? That proprietary British ROM (insert evil laugh). Smell you at CES /not

I always liked the wire cutter for just kind of cutting through the crap and saying “this is the one”. I wonder if we need some sort of thing for reviews where humans filter out the sites that are credible.

It’s a bit funny because this we sort of done by Jason Calcanis’ Mahalo back in the day - but maybe he was just ahead of the SEO curve.
> I added a solenoid-operated latch to my chicken coop that opened when the sun came up.

That's pretty cool. Is it battery operated? Do you have your chicken coup next to your home or did you run power to the hen house?
Have you looked at Electron? It brings a learning curve and other problems but you have a node.js backend that you can pass messages to and would have full access to the machine.
If you follow the ratings (granted the ratings for streaming services are likely not as easy to calculate as network tv), Netflix pretty much dominates top 10 most watched shows every week. It's weaker on Movies but still does pretty well there as well.

If netflix keeps producing content at the rate it is, it won't be long until it has a fairly large back catalogue itself. At the end of the day it's Netflix's core business, whereas for most of the other streaming services it's a side gig.

It's interesting... Apple was originally founded in 1976, about a year after Microsoft. But we often hear about and think about FAANG, like with this poll. What sets Microsoft apart from this group?

They are "older" though, being older than Apple is more a measure of how long they've been successful. Microsoft and Apple often battle for larger market capitalization. They both deliver software and hardware, and the two of the most popular operating systems in use (Windows, Android, iOS). Microsoft is arguably more B2B, while Apple has a more recognized consumer brand.

Microsoft is infamous for messing up on the consumer end, and Windows 11 feels like a repeat of this. On the other hand, they are still doing well with their Xbox division. But are they omitted from this poll because of the assumption that their core business... selling to other businesses, will carry them on indefinitely?
Who would write good or even decent content for free?
what a great idea.
Before you take a call, make sure they have done their homework and are presenting a role that is the right fit for you. If they won’t tell you the company or basic information through email, throw them out — they’re not acting in good faith. On the call, cut right to the chase and ask for salary range and what the role will actually entail. They should tell you. Make sure they have a specific hiring manager in mine. A targeted role will be more promising than a general one.
Like most things, it’s a reputation ladder.

There’s top channels like LTT and if what you are looking for is out of their niche, you look for the biggest channels in that niche and go mostly by association (who they have made collaborations with,..).

EDIT: of course the big win of video reviews is that you can see the thing working.
>Infrastructure is a lot more than roads and rails; it's also constitutions, laws, education systems, and what I term "social infrastructure."

Colonial powers created infrastructure (physical and social) that fitted their form of government, i.e. a colony controlled from the outside, and then just left. Although colonialism itself is the "original sin", the sudden abdication of all responsibility is almost worse, at least in the case of relatively mildly oppressive colonial systems. But it is what the locals wanted in the 1960s, by all accounts. In fact, they worked to scuttle efforts to have more gradual transitions, because they wanted independence now. Very understandable but very naive.

Here's a great archival BBC documentary[0] from 1972 about the collapse of social infrastructure in action - the expulsion of south Asians from Uganda under Amin. It's instructive to see how enthusiastically the interviewed native Ugandans support this policy, in retrospect clearly more disastrous for them than for people they uprooted and expelled. Not blaming or judging them, just find it quite sad for all involved.

I just rewatched trailers for the matrix and it doesn't play that angle. It's revealed early on in the trailer that the matrix is a simulation and the movie itself is not trying to blur the lines, the matrix being a simulation is an accepted fact by both characters and the viewer.

Maybe I watched DVD trailers though. I remember whatisthematrix and while the concept of a simulation was emphasized and heavily discussed there was no confusion about what is real and what is not. `What is the simulation` though...

With that being said I agree that I rarely see improvements when movie makers revisit their creation (I also have no interests).

Don't they get scratched these days? I remember the DVD days of Blockbuster, and also thinking "DVD as a technology is just not ready for rental" every time I got a disc that was scratched and/or had sticky stuff glued to it.
Amazon (Cloud and Shopping), Apple (Hardware), Google (Search, Apps, Cloud) and Microsoft (Cloud, Apps) will be fine. Amazon, Apple and Google will be more regulated but will stabilize like Microsoft. I do not see a growth model for Facebook. Selling ads with regulators all over the world fighting against you is nothing sustainable. And Netflix .. I mean .. look at their catalogue.

I remember someone making one for an MS-DOS text mode game creation system called MegaZeux. They called it Airborne OS. It was spawned by the enthusiasm around Windows 95/98 at the time, though the result is rather wonky, especially if you're not used to how MegaZeux games typically operate. For example, the cursor is actually the player character and can only move with the arrow keys.

Nothing protects against rm -rf by design. You shouldn't use it to blindly clean up and delete files (unless as a last resort or some very specific and careful use case). Just use plain old rm and feed it the explicit list of files to delete, which forces you to actually look at what you're about to do.
It's different world now but my dad with grandpa (his dad) were taking our car apart including engine, unscrewing every single piece of engine, cleaning it and putting the whole thing back together. They were laughing there were always some "redundant screws" left at the end. Everything was like that, TV broke, we took it to dad's friend garage where he had tons of shit and was fixing stuff, taking things out, resoldering etc; you had a hole in your clothes? granny would fix it, your shoes were broken? you'd try to fix them first, not get new ones etc.
