Exactly! Computers will be sold somewhere, parts will be bought from some countries / vendors, using money issued by governments, connect to others using internet ( which again has 100s of regulations from state / central governments ). There are way too many factors to become truly decentralized.

Considering the notoriety of John Deere fighting the right to repair and right to own movement, I have a hunch that their adoption of any new technology could be largely motivated by curbing ownership.

I would say many software services moving to cloud and to a subscription has largely prevented those products from being pirated or even necessarily owned. Inspired by that, for JD the most convenient path to create an "anti-piratable" product is by slapping a label of "autonomous and AI" and have them being directly controlled from a central location.

Ok let's back up and simplify.

If there's a 25% chance you're going to kill yourself in 90 days, medication helps.

If you have a milder case and/or a very long time horizon, completely agree doing "root cause" work throughout your preferred method makes sense.

But it's not fair to the people suffering to say "I know you're bed bound but how about some cardio? Nah you don't need medicine that just numbs it". Why can't they get a little help when they're in a desperate place? Starting medicine doesn't imply a death sentence where it's force fed down your throat every day for the rest of your life. Take it for 6 months and stop when everything is going better and you have some reps of [your preferred recovery technique] under your belt.
yes, it may be bad for indiscriminate/dumb load balancing. then again this only works in the firstplace if the work units represent a somewhat equivalent and small-ish workload.

once you place value on determinism (in regards to time spent on a task) you want a tightly specced distribution mechanism and/or a feedback loop to communicate busystate back to the LB.
Racial Demographics Influence School Choices for White, Asian and Latino Parents
They're still there, but what they do day-to-day must have changed... I'm not 100% sure what they get up to now, but they could be focusing their A-game on zoom calls with management alright.

However, pre-pandemic they would poll the IC's like myself for whatever information they needed via "casual" desk dropping, then present it to some manager as original thinking. The higher friction of setting up video calls, and being called out in group Slacks seems to have reduced this.

One went as far as requesting a desk move in order to be closer to a manager, so that at least has all changed.
Stimulus and unemployment increases raised overall take-home pay during the year for many lower middle class and poor. For the very poor, increases in SNAP benefits as part of the stimulus outpaced food price inflation, but almost no articles about food inflation mention it. Unemployment is as low as it has been since 1999.

There are legit shortages driving inflation in big categories, but wages are up too. Average wages in non-supervisory roles are up over 10% compared to two years ago, restaurant roles nearly 14%.

Inflation directly hurts people with lots of savings in low yield accounts, not the working poor. That's not to say they did well compared to the rich in the pandemic, just that inflation taken as a single factor doesn't single them out.
The traditional financial system is basically not available for an individual to build on without the blessing of VCs. If you do manage that, you have to come head-to-head with money transmitter licensing, collecting personal info from your customers and keeping it safe, implementing rules about who can send money to whom (that differ by country), and playing by Visa et al's rules about who isn't allowed to use your app and for what (which includes a lot of normal people doing normal things.)

It feels wrong to me that building financial apps for public good basically requires creating a capital class and handing over profits and control to them. Will VCs fund another Kickstarter or Open Collective?

I got into crypto because I realized the things I actually wanted to build I could basically only do so using crypto. (Also, watching myself earn interest every 15 seconds was just incredibly cool.) Granted, that was in 2018, and prices are a lot higher now, and so is the level of grifting and hype. A stronger layer of psychological self-defence is warranted both from people in the space and outside of it.

Anyway, the short answer to your question is that the time cost of Zoom verification will in many cases deter low-level and botting fraud, but Zoom verification overall is a stopgap to bootstrap the network, and over the long term applications will require users to be verified by a few of their IRL F&F (and Zoom parties can be used to connect their social network to the rest of the graph.)

Once the vast majority of devices are remote attestation capable (Windows 11 requiring TPM will accelerate this trend), content providers may refuse to serve you unless you attest that you are running a walled-garden OS that won't allow you to ad-block, capture content, run any sort of proxy server, etc.

At some point, even ISPs might require remote attestation to allow you to connect your device to the internet. The IETF is already working on standards for the attestation of network devices[0][1].

I speculate that there will temporarily (perhaps similarly to iOS jailbreaking, which is not available at this time for the newest devices/iOS version[2]) be exploits allowing you fool the attestation by e.g. redirecting it to another device as the author suggests, but the end effect will be that vast majority of people will be effectively confined to a walled garden and even determined hobbyists will only be able to use their general computation capable devices to access all content (or even connect them to the internet) some of the time.

Cyprus Finds Covid-19 Infections That Combine Delta and Omicron
Yeah, NZ is going to get Omicron at some point and then we'll catch up with the rest of the world. We had <20 cases the other day, but there are hundreds in quarantine who've arrived from other countries that will bring in Omicron. 2020 and 2021 was mostly totally covid free, so having normal life back again was a real blessing. But it's just a matter of time before we catch up to the rest of the world

I would say it is for the greater good. Marriage has always been based on trust, and is a public commitment to maintain a stable relationship. Its intention, I believe, is to provide a good environment for raising and nurturing children, and avoiding the tensions created by changing partners. Its value depends on those involved being prepared to stand by their commitment.
It's not just « a race car », it's a Group B car with a new body. It's one of the greatest cars in racing history. To start you at least need to action the general electric break, switch the electricity on, push another one or two buttons for pumps and then press the starter button. Depending on the temperature of both the engine and the surrounding environment, you might also need to change plugs for cold ones. And that's just to start, it can't be driven like a normal car. And that's the exact reason why the 405 T16 of Vatanen was found in a bush back in the days : whoever took it new enough to start it up but stalled eventually (which is one of the reasons leading everybody to think it was some mechanic who dun it).

By the way, you can see Vatanen driving that car model in his legendary Pikes Peak Hill climb video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvXSXfL4XRc

"given away too quickly"

Generally agree with your comment but .... You're an adult. Decide what you need and take agency. The doc isn't forcing you to gobble pills and not do CBT.

The fact that they're available, and with low friction if it appears that you need them is great.

Here's a stupid analogy. To become a bodybuilder you need to lift heavy compound movements probably under a barbell over a long period of time. You have a scrawny kid come into your gym and he says he likes doing push-ups. Why not let him do pushups? Just because they're "too easy to access" and not the stack ranked force prioritized #1 option for hypertrophy?

In general were super prescriptive on what others should do, but most Americans don't exercise, etc.

More availability of a broader array of treatment modalities is a feature not a big IMHO.
> briefly, the client app bootstraps connections to the P2P network as normal but sends a special message saying “please don’t send me the contents of every block or transaction, I only want to see transactions matching a filter”

The gist I got from Moxie's post was that this can't be done on the web itself without an intermediary, and this is very relevant if this is "web3" versus "the blockchain ecosystem". Why can't we have a serverless wallet app on the web?

Even if the underlying blockchain network supports lightweight clients, it is still not eliminating go-betweens in a way that makes it truly decentralized.
> What’s the strongest argument in favor of credit reporting agencies? If we got rid of them would borrowing money become so difficult or expensive that we’d regret what we wished for?

Before Credit Ratings Agencies, most people just couldn't get credit. They could bring a letter from their pastor to the bank and hope for the best. There was also a lot of racial bias in the process: https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/comments/rjn7uf/...

> According to my way older relatives, as in from the 1920s to the 1960s, most people didn't have access to credit. My family comes from the midwest. Poor and middle class white people at least...paid cash for almost everything. If you made enough money and seemed clean enough and had a letter from your pastor you could get a mortgage with 10-15 year term on it. Most of my family that lived in the cities back then were in their 30s-40s when they got their first homes, and lived among people just like them. Banks would not give them enough money to buy a house in the rich neighborhoods, only the middle class union people neighborhoods for white people.

> The ones who lived on the farms? Someone somewhere up the family tree paid cash after working on someone else's farm for awhile and bought their own land, and passed it down, and there was no credit involved. If they needed credit for things they could get on the ledger at the local general store. That was about it.

> People who were not rich did not have credit like people do now. They paid cash for everything. Banks would not lend money to poor or middle class people except for houses, and you had to have like 30% down and the terms were, as mentioned, 10-15 years tops.

> My Boomer parents have told me over and over again, that until the 1990s people didn't use credit like they do now. You just didn't. If you could not afford to pay for something you did without. My parents first car loan, which they only got when my dad re-enlisted in the military, had like an 18% interest rate and my parents had to put 20% down. My dad had to show his papers from the military and his paystubs from the military. And several dealerships turned them down. This was the early 1980s.

Apparently other countries do fine without it, though.

How are you measuring your db load?
I've experienced exactly the same as you both except all the way back in 2015 and so I'm going to offer some unsolicited advice in case it's helpful. I had never heard of panic attacks before I got one, had never worried once about my mental health etc. and so I also ended up at the emergency room convinced my death was imminent.

Considering my healthy history my doctor and I agreed to try deal with it on a lifestyle level. I did meditation, yoga and revised my diet. I became more healthy but still had the panic attacks. We then stepped this up to therapy which I did for a year but still had the panic attacks. They were totally random and incredibly draining. My life & work were seriously affected and so I eventually followed the doctors advice to consider medication. Saw a psychiatrist and started the most basic SSRI at the minimum dose for panic disorder. I had a few attacks during the first two weeks and then they just stopped entirely. 100% completely. Haven't had one since.

So - my advice. If you are seriously struggling with panic attacks on a continuing basis despite a reasonable level of lifestyle interventions please don't do what I did and basically resist trying psychiatric medicine because you're healthy, successful and happy in your life and can't see a "legit" reason to be on meds. It felt like a much bigger intervention to me than it really is. I know for some people dealing with this sort of thing isn't this easy but for a lot it seems it can be.

(Also I don't blame my doctors at all, I always felt well informed about the options available to me. Obviously in retrospect with the way my life was affected meant I should have seen a reason to try meds sooner. At least the year of therapy was good for me even though it didn't stop the panic disorder!)
For me, what killed IRC was the use of Bouncers. Once they became popular, channels would morph from having 20-30 actively-online users at anyone one time to having 200+ 'disconnected' users who weren't really there. So without any sort of 'presence' indicators, there'd be no indication of who was actually online.

So the experience went from real-time chat, to something like a feature-less forum, where'd you'd post a question and then wait for hours/days before someone actually replied (if you ever got a reply at all, despite the number of 'listed' users).

So channels just became a idling wasteland of ghost users, which is why I think a large majority of casual IRC users jumped ship to other chat platforms.

Now, if everyone just accepted that they don't actually need a bouncer, and understand that like a room in real life, that when you are not in the room you are not part of the rooms conversation, IRC would feel much more 'alive' and people would start using it properly again.
We're lamenting the fact that these authentic documentation sites are not the top results, instead being overtaken by bad copycat sites. I'm suggesting not relying on algorithmic improvements to do this and just pinning them to the top, since this is the wanted outcome anyway. The suggestion is not that these pins should be immutable for all time.

I'm not suggesting this be done for commercial sites, just neutral documentation sites for languages and frameworks. This would be strictly better from the perspective of the searcher.
Love this. Such a simple idea yet very helpful. It probably can't do what all jq does but it will solve most of what you usually want to do with json on the command line.

OK, potentially dumb, non-educated non-programmer comment here, so please be kind

One of the points he makes is that it's not possible to tell if a Signal client is actually made from the source code in question. Is there no hash-based way to ensure that isn't the case? I know that producing code which self-reports wouldn't work (as the 'altered' version could just report the correct hash, as it were), but is there no way to have a third-party app which would produce hashes of installed APKs, and wouldn't be open to such? Or is it always possible to alter that app so that it self-reports correctly, even though it's lying about the hash of the signal app?
What or who is `RMS`? My first assumption is "risk management standard".
Killer feature for me was transactional schema changes. We use flyway for db migrations which works fine but a failed migration is left in a half completed state in MySQL - Postgres can execute the migration in a transaction that rolls back on failure.
A generic (partial) solution to this type of thing is just to sample a number of lines from the large input, and do the investigation on that.

> nobody is ending our current corporate wage slavery system, in which actually being there is more important that actually doing a meaningful job!

Good corporate management is constantly fighting it: Downsizing, firing all people in bullshit jobs.
"We release you to seek new opportunities!". Using only the bottom line as a measure of success is another one. No indirect performance measures.

David Graeber was a polemical writer, he never offered viewpoints that steered readers off from narrative he had in his mind. For example, the idea that bullshit jobs are something that can be removed by more ruthless and goal oriented management.

> I shudder to think of what your sleep habits are like if you guys are doing this.

Appreciate the concern.

I would encourage people to look after their sleep. From personal experience, a good nights sleep is one of the best gifts I can give to myself tomorrow.

Another view; say I have a problem where I cannot stop messaging at night, and it impacts my sleep. I could use a device which lets at least my eyes rest. Is it kind of like the nicotine containing e-cigarette of bedtime phone usage?
Might this then be:
1) An improvement?
2) An enabler?
3) A sign that I do have a problem (phone/screen addiction) - as indicated by the effort I would expend trying to mitigate a symptom (gazing at screen = ouch)?

…

Let’s try this:
There is a perspective that a project like this is an outgrowth of an unhealthy habit of messaging/writing art/beyond bedtime.

Within that view, I think this concept is still worthwhile of curiosity for its usage at other times during the day; when you have already decided you want to do a task that would normally require using a screen anyway.

…

There is an idea that suggests interfaces designed to accommodate people with disabilities results in better UX for everyone. I see this as an example of that idea, and I idly believe something partially descended from this will come into common usage.

In it’s mildest form, typing without a screen approaches what a confident touch typist can achieve.

So perhaps I’d say; if your curious, try it some time when you would commit to being at your workstation - “plugged in”. And treat it just the same as your other “screen time” when it comes to looking after your health. No, I wouldn’t let this activity off on the technicality of not involving a screen ;)

Disclaimer: Im talking about my own experiments and cannot speak for OP, who has a better set up.
You don’t have to “master” it, but just understanding the basics of what is a service file will make your everyday life much better if you are working with systemd-managed systemd.

Also, don’t get bogged down by systemd-* services, they are related but are usually not part of systemd at all.
I suspect production cost, especially for special effects, do rise significantly with a higher frame rate.
> Here's a fine example of why DDG's search results are worse than useless, if you needed another one.

Well, we are comparing against Google, aren't we?

The company that let scamware and scareware advertise or SEO their way to the top for years?

How about we cut DDG a similar amount of slack?

Also, have you reported the problematic results? (I complain about Google but I have reported a number of problems over the years.)

> The searches are provided by Bing and the frontend is hosted in Azure, Microsoft controls both sides of the transaction but people buy the privacy fairy tale,

It is still possible to improve privacy quite a bit over Bing.

Also, remember we are comparing to Google here. For most people biggest alternative to using Bing or a frontend Bing is to use Google or a frontend to Google.

Would it be better if they used that?
I ended up skimming the entire post, looking for the examples of weird half-asleep messages implied by the title.
In OP’s use case he describes the purposes of the having the html content wrapped in an app: easy access in an emergency.

I am curious as to why the tech community feels so strongly against html content wrapped as an app. There is a lot of valuable reference content which would benefit from being freed from the rigid structure of an ebook, and so suit an app very well, but doesn’t need ‘native’ functionality per se. Putting that content into PWA makes it harder to monetise. App distribution model works well.
> And that just doesn't work if the provider controls the client software.

The web platform is now capable of making this not required, we just need to build solutions that take advantage of it. The coupling of the service and the client (web/mobile apps) is something that should be challenged in "web 3.0" designs.
The first four Emacs editors, which had something like an extension language: Emacs (1976), EINE (1977), SINE and Multics Emacs (1978). EINE and Multics Emacs were written & extended in Lisp. SINE was using a 'lisp-like' language. A bunch of further Emacs-like editors appeared then.

GNU Emacs later (1984) was based on Gosling Emacs (1981), which was written in C and extended with Mocklisp. Mocklisp was a rather uncomplete Lisp, which was replaced with Emacs Lisp by Richard Stallman.

It's pretty simple: JD and Monsanto have extracted the high margin economic value into their products, leaving the farmer as an employee managing low margin operational work and carrying the burden of weather risk. JD weather risk is spread across 1000s of farms.

Same story with ASML, Siemens and other industrial tools companies.

Things get interesting when the cost (economic value) of the tool is a largest percentage of the total $ of goods produced.
