Am important aspect of anarchism is community. Capitalism tends to atomise people, replacing community and cooperative relationships with work relationships and transactions. This erodes mutual trust and support, so without rebuilding communities I agree, you couldn't reasonably hope for cooperation and sharing. But people's attitudes are shaped by their environment, and with a greater sense of community and engagement, we are more willing to help each other out. I'm a lot more willing to lend or gift things to a friend or a neighbour than to somebody I don't know. Now, as you've rightly pointed out, that doesn't scale past Dunbar's number (the maximum number of people we can reasonably know personally), so the alternative to scaling this up is a democratic union-of-unions system where my community and your community both elect councils and delegates for coordinating with each other. That way the delegates can represent our communities' interests in a bottom-up fashion. Since there's no meaningful benefit to profit without a money system, we can support each other in a mutual/reciprocal fashion.

> Guess people like me gotta be put in the gulag.

Again, you're thinking of MLs. My primary value is decreasing human suffering and increasing preference fulfilment. Neither of those are fulfilled by senseless ideological violence.

> My personal view of what ends up happening to leftist communities is their either become dystopian to ensure your property is now the public's property, slide into democracies, or go into limited-government libertarian type scenarios.

I'd rather live under a social democratic capitalist society like I currently do than the USSR. Freedom is important - I want to increase it, not decrease it. There's plenty of room for democracy within anarchism, and anarchism is the original source of the term "libertarian" so yes I agree on the latter point - the main point of disagreement is whether capitalism can really be libertarian. I think that replacing a competitive, isolating economy with a cooperative sharing economy would be a positive thing for everybody.

I think the kurds are a good example of an incremental step in the right direction - their economy is more oriented towards sharing and cooperation, which is inherently a step away from capitalism because capitalism relies on individualistic trade negotiations rather than sharing.

Edit: I just thought, if you've watched the later seasons of The Walking Dead, the communities are a pretty good example of anarchist community, including the union-of-unions part.
A firewall config can block listening? What would that firewall config be? The firewall can block packets by owner uid. But I am not sure who is the owner in legitimate sshd case. Root or the user logged in?

SELinux can do it, probably other LSMs, too.
Use case ?

I was on the iOS side, they cost too much for what I do with my mobile phone.

Now I always buy mobile phones under $200, my current mobile phone battery last for 5 days without recharge, previous mobile lasted for 5 years (using a custom ROM).

Scary thing is. Milder disease is a constant factor improvement in hospitalization. But faster spreading (higher R value) is an exponential worsening in hospitalization.

It's probably better to have a 50% hospitalization rate and an R value of 0.8 than a 5% hospitalization rate and an R value of 2. After 3 'generations' of spreading the second situation already has more hospitalizations.
looks like cash has solved (most) of this some time ago:

- V. costs nothing to exchange a bill

- V. link to a real economy so little volatility (except when the real economy implodes)

- V. accepted everywhere within a currency zone

- V. mostly secure (ofcourse theft is as old as humanity)

- V. private (only your counterparty knows about it)

- V. fully integrated into financial accounts / tax systems

- X. fast (local) transactions but remote remittances outside a currency zone a serious problem (expensive, slow)

- V. counterfeit tech very sophisticated

- V. you can print as much as you want

The major flaw of cash is actually linked more to the international system of currencies (which underlies many more socioeconomic problems)
Did you just say that medical procedures are not inherently risky? The data does not support that claim.

I vividly remember exactly the same arguments about touchscreens before iPhone came. Everyone was agreeing that physical keyboards rock and touchscreens suck (me too). There were non-Apple smartphones with touchscreens, but no one was buying them because touchscreens suck. If Apple did a focus-group at that time, they'd never release an iPhone.

But Apple brand name was so strong, that they were able to push through and against public opinion and made touchscreens successful.

Now we have another iteration of the same discussion, but with car media touchscreen dashboards.

Yep. The fact most of my friends binged the Beatles 9 hour documentary in one or two days still surprises me. I also did the same. People do have time.
> most importantly, ownership and control of things.

I feel ownership and control of my house and my stuff. To some extend at least. Can the government theoretically seize my assets? Yes. Can the goverment seize my Bitcoins? Well, depends on whether or not I want to leave my social circle.

The sense of ownership of Bitcoin is based on your willingness to leave everything behind. And your ability to cross borders into countries that won't send you back.

I think, ultimately, crypto only works if your outlook on the world is very pessimistic and you have zero trust in existing structures of society.
Oh … wow.

How is LetsEncrypt going to handle revocation … in under 24 hours?
Also a mac mini is £700 which is the equivalent of ~3 days work for most trades here in Britain. I you value your time as much as a joiner and if it’s going to take you more than 3 days to get your environment setup and keep it maintained then you’re better off just buying a mac.
No. The difference is that at this point accepting a crypto currency is entirely optional for them, while using regular currency of their country is not or they could not be a company (since they have to pay taxes in that currency).
Of course I had strip poker on my c64, it was the bomb to a 7 year old mind.
How do you see them as independent stochastic processes? Assuming one person can only be infected with 1 variant at a time, then they are not independent, instead they would be negatively correlated since the more people have omikron the less people can get delta. If instead one person can have more than 1 variant at a time, and they are really independent, then your conclusion is incorrect since a 100% prevalance of omikron would not imply a 0% prevalance of other variants.
I'd have a slightly different take, recent changes in asset prices and the speculative frenzy are due to changes in monetary and fiscal policy since 2008. I'd include the popularity of cryptocurrencies as speculative assets in that (they don't seem to have any other use-value).

Asset prices have seen massive inflation in the last decade due to ZIRP, asset purchases by central banks on an unprecedented scale. The risk free rate has been zero for far too long, and this has directly led to people moving into more risk in order to try to get a return, any return at all. So asset prices, particularly risky speculative asset prices, are no longer judged on their fundamentals like cash flow, but are tightly tied to monetary policy instead. This is starting to feed through to prices of food and other commodities as price inflation as well. So now central banks (and the Fed in particular) have an invidious choice - crash the stock market and save the real economy, or crash the real economy via inflation and save the stock market.

The Fed just suggested they would take away the punch bowl from assets a little earlier than planned, so the party is over and people are scrambling for the exits - that will continue this year. This impacts tech stocks which are not making money and not likely to make money, and speculative assets like bitcoin which money has piled into due to Fed policies.

We've seen this story before, we know how it ends.

Yep, I got that too. Absolutely beautiful.
Its milder than Delta but way more transmissible. The more people get this, more will be the chances of a new variant which can be more deadly/transmissible.

One that's totally out in the open is US entry visas. If you're from outside the US, you have to fill in a government form that looks pretty old school. There are "services" that look better and turn up in searches, and will simply forward your info. I ended up using one by accident and luckily they simply paid it back immediately when I emailed them, but my hunch is most people don't detect it or don't bother to try to claw back the money.

Point! But I'd guess the velocity of information and rate adjustments in shell-based economies were slower.

E.g. If someone said "The value of the cowrie has crashed!", then how long did it take for everyone to find out & the cowrie economy to reprice itself?

I'd hazard we deal with much more sophisticated, capable, fast, and aggressively predatory market participants now.

You won't be doing much if any any electrical engineering if you end up doing software engineering, but it can be useful if you're hacking on side projects, e.g. Arduino. And as other mentioned, the best way to learn computer science is to build stuffs on the side, that will give you a huge edge when entering the job market too.
I didn't dig too deeply, however on the pytorch installation page, it says "Please ensure that you have met the prerequisites below (e.g., numpy)"

This was never about personal enrichment, it was about freedom and sound money. At least to me. I am a cypherpunk. I am well aware of the monetary systems post WW2. What happened was the great US did what no other nation could do in history — monetize their debt and get the world to treat it as their money. It was genius, really. The problem emerged where Governments got really slack with the backing. Now we just print it any time it is politically expedient. I want a system where that isn’t possible. Bitcoin was invented to solve this problem.
Good question. I used to used cheap ones back in the day and developed a habit of manually rotating as I write. It's become instinct and part of my muscle memory so I don't need this as a feature though I see its value.
No...@ that's good right

Fewer % hospitalizations, but you have a much larger population getting it in a shorter amount of time.

When hospitals get oveerwhelmed you're going to get a knock down effect on non-covid issues where medical attention is needed but cannot be provided.
But then they'll need pilots type certified to fly them and have to keep a load of smaller planes around just in case. Also, pilots will still need to fly the larger aircraft every now and then to keep their certification.

2 years is a long time to be obsessed with an ex
Yeah, I ran a niche aggregator for a few years and we polled ca. 3m feeds a day. Every time a feed had an update since the last time we'd polled it we'd subtract a percentage of the polling interval with a floor of about 5m. Every time there wasn't an update we'd reduce the rate until a ceiling of about 24h. Very simple and no doubt you could do better but better wasn't necessary.
The vaccination rate isn’t “low”. Portugal is an exception in this regard and can’t be used as an example since most countries in Europe are similar, give or take 10%.

When one looks at the rate by age, we see that 60+ is at almost 87% and 18-59 is at almost 78%. 12-17 is dragging the average down and for good reason: it was only recommended by the vaccine commission since August and the kids have to have a discussion with the doctor about risks/benefits for their particular case. Biontech is to be used exclusively and there were issues with availability, as the new health minister was complaining last month.

One has to also consider that in Germany people who were sick have the same rights as the vaccinated because of the natural protection they got from the disease and there was no strong incentive for them to get the vaccine.

I don’t get this obsession with hitting some arbitrary numbers. Herd immunity’s been off the table since Delta. The vaccines don’t protect well from infection with Omicron. And getting those 20% vaccinated (which is not going to happen) will be too late to make a difference.

This obsession with the unvaccinated has caused more harm than good in European societies. If you want to see what low vaccination rates look like, watch Eastern Europe. Interestingly enough, they’re also surviving and haven’t gone extinct. Food for thought…

Because broadly speaking, public schools rely on 100% of the local school tax revenue to educate somewhere between 50-90% of the students.

They rely on private school tuition to further subsidize public schools via reduced enrollment but not reduced budget.

I'm not sure why crypto is being compared with historic technologies in a world which lacked the communication and education to spread them, and not much-hyped Internet technologies like eCommerce video streaming or cloud computing which arguably had much greater technical barriers to spread than crypto but were ubiquitous within 10 years and exciting to people that didn't have a financial stake in them.

The second bit worth noting if you think crypto is more to follow the Gutenberg path, is that investing in him turned out to be a terrible decision: he made things which were tangibly useful from the start but lost money doing it...

1.5 decades into the tech, blockchain hasn't really provided any utility aside from easing drug transactions and money laundering.

I agree with the author that some interesting tech issues were solved but apparently this still doesn't lead to anything legitimate and more useful than the non-crypto version of whatever problem you're trying to solve.
Monetary value is not quality either.

Quality is of course subjective, but there are certainly examples of things which are popular and trashy, or cost lots of money and are not high quality, and even some examples of things which are popular and trashy and cost lots of money but are not high quality (Melania Trump's interior design comes to mind).
That only means it's easier for me to know exactly how much money Mozilla is getting.

But the real question is: if I have the equivalent of 10 USD in some form, how can I make sure Mozilla gets as much of those 10 USD as possible? The answer will almost certainly be traditional payments infra, especially for small sums. Even if I currently have 10USD worth of BTC, it may be more efficient for me to convert it to actual USD and pay whatever is left through PayPal/a credit card then it is to make an on-chain transaction.
Sex is a two-way street. I saw the text where you agreed to a purely sex-based relationship. At that point Alex no longer wanted you, and he made it clear to you. You must’ve seen a sex-based relationship as a way to keep him in your life.

I read the entire string of messages. You pulled inflammatory things out of context to DAMN him, and posted it all over twitter, etc. Who does that? What does that say about you to post negative gossip about someone from a private intimate relationship ? Do you ever ask yourself why you’re posting malicious things about someone? Is it justice you seek? It almost sounds like a HUMBLE BRAG to get attention, like “oh I’m hot stuff bc I dated the Hackpad founder?” If Alex wasn’t famous, would you still post this stuff? I don’t think so.

And do you really think you’re doing justice by posting about some fight you guys had on twitter out of context? Who are you saving from alleged abuse? Someone who googles you or Alex like a stalker the way you do?

And ask yourself why it’s still 2 years and you’re still suffering and obsessed? You clearly need some intervention, love. Please focus on forgiveness, healing, and loving others and yourself

I'm evaluating reports of Framework+Linux-distros' sleep/wake/hibernate impacts upon video resolution switching, WiFi stability, and trackpad stability, to determine when to pull the trigger on purchasing a fully tricked-out model. I can afford to run an Apple M-class laptop (holding out for next batch) and a Framework at the same time, and make the effort to transition off the macOS ecosystem (any consumer-grade and office apps I want not available on Linux, I'm happy to run under Windows within Linux).

The straw that broke my camel's back was the latest macOS update that deleted all Safari tabs. Around the same time, iOS update did something similar: deleted all back history on all Safari tabs. After the many other problems I put up with in macOS, I figured if I'm going to be spelunking around the system to fix Apple software problems as frequently as I have found myself doing in the past decade, I might as well work with others on the source, as Linux is getting awfully close to "good enough" quality these days for my daily driver, at least enough for me to give it a fair shot with sustained effort on peer hardware as my Apple gear.

This topic has been touched on before, but what I do is use a paper-bound notebook. I number the pages.

The topics come in fairly random order. I keep a table of contents at front, and compile an index at the back as I go. After trying this system for a few months, I can attest that an index is, indeed, a useful thing. The great things about an index is that it allows you to find information based on multiple viewpoints.

The acid test of all these systems is "how useful have they been in practise?" As a lady in QA once sagely said: add value, not process. Or, as another poster noted, we have a tendency to fetishise different systems. As programmers, we're likely to be more guilty of this than most. But remember the whole point of the exercise. We're here to find information, not obsessively adhere to a system.
If this is all so likely and rapid, why does this not happen constantly every single year? Why did it take so long for one particular virus to leak when it seems like with so many humans we should see some super virus come up constantly.

It's not really the responsibility of solo OSS repo owners to resolve this.

It's likely no-one paid us for the code, we did it for a variety of reasons (itch to scratch, thought it was cool, intellectual interest, etc) but few to none of those reasons was to create an ongoing responsibility over the code.

For my repos, I chose a permissive licence... either MIT, BSD 3 clause, or even AGPL. You can fork away to your hearts content, and I don't have to be involved in that so long as you respect the licence it came under.

This does mean that if you are one of the tens of thousands of projects that imported code I wrote (or downstream from that the hundreds of thousands of websites that use those projects)... then yeah, you've got to fork and update your references, etc. And I am 100% OK with others (even a huge number of people) having to do such a piece of work... because no-one paid me to be responsible for the code I gave to everyone else.

This likely comes off as harsh, but I maintain a few repos that are widely used and the only way to make this enjoyable is to not accept the responsibility for things that I don't have to accept. I wrote the code, you can use the code, whilst I'm alive and using the code I'll maintain the code... but otherwise the licenses make you responsible for your own use of the code, I am not obligated to do more than I've done. The code can freeze in time and fade away, if others care then they can step up... if they care now, they can become co-maintainers or they can pay for the code so I choose to take responsibility for continuity.
