They were always on their own side, not the "good" one. They defended VCRs because they were a major producer of VHS home equipment, and the ability to record TV shows helped selling said equipment. The fact that they also held the moral high ground is little more than a happy accident.

In general, for corporations of then & now, "being good" only matters as long as it aligns, or at least does not interfere with, their sources of income.
Advertising isn’t the problem, the processing of data to target those adverts is the problem.

That said, given how often they insist on showing me (literally) revolutionary marxist content no matter how often I click “Show me less of this” — and from the same specific groups no matter how often I click “Never show me ‘Demexit Memes For Green Teens’” (I’m not a teen, I can’t exit the Democrat party because I’m not an American and can’t join in the first place, Brexit riffs give me a negative affect[0], and while I am vaguely green-ish at least in regards to UK politics I feel negatively about the USA Green Party) — I don’t think they’re even very good at using this data for targeting content.

I would say GNS proposes an interesting tradeoff, at least one that's not been attempted/proposed by other projects. They intend their root zone to be transferred to ICANN for ownership and for the protocol to be backwards-compatible with DNS, so that moving to GNS wouldn't require major updates from all providers/vendors (unlike IPv6).

Also, the hyper hyper local root and public-key delegation balance the powers of the centralized root. Hypothetically, adding a new "TLD" (for your client) would be very easy so we would probably see more old-style "indexes" sharing zones you could subscribe to, also in a peer-to-peer manner so that if i add my friend anita's zone to my root, i could then recursively resolve through her published index (in her zone), like blog.anita or barbara.anita (a hypothetical friend of anita's).

It's also worth mentioning that this would significantly change the Certificate Authority problem by having a secure network to distribute the keys via DANE entries. It would still be a problem though that anita could suddenly point barbara in her zone to her own machine and serve her own content/certificate. But i guess that's what Web of Trust (or rather Fog of Trust with zero-knowledge proofs) is for? :)

Imagine if a new grocery store started in your area called foodface, and only let people in if they were invited by an existing member (a la Price Club, but without the membership fee). It gets popular, maybe the service they offer is slightly unique, slightly better than the other grocery stores.

foodface spends a lot of time in the red propped up by investors as it focuses on growth. At this point goods were priced the same as everywhere else. foodface uses its funding to invest in the best arrangement of aisles and container quantity to focus purely on maximizing quantity that people buy, not on profit.

Eventually foodface cracks the code. They recognize how to maximize quantity. Now they shift focus to profit. They start to figure out how to aggregate data about your purchases and then how to market that data to companies who sell goods in their store. foodface now hands you an automated personal shopper device at the door, with deals on goods that are personalized to you. While you're shopping, metrics are collected and sold off to the highest bidder and they get to bid for spots on your shopping deals list. You're most likely shopping for baby related items, or prepping items, or weekly grocery items, or clothing.

Grocery shopping starts to morph. People become slaves to the deal list. People no longer go with a list to the store, they go to the store and get the list of things to buy. foodface notices when their purchasing falls below a normal threshold and then pings them to update their profile. Did they lose a job? Did they get a new family member? And based on those things and machine learning models they start to present shopping lists that take all the stress out of planning your shopping trip. The feedback loop is complete.

They raise more money, and they start to buy up all the grocery stores around you. Now there's nowhere else for you to shop except foodface. Mom and pop stores spring up, but their whole intent is to get bought. You try to drive out of town to where there's still normal grocery stores but those stores don't offer deals because all the companies with goods on their shelves don't get even an order of magnitude of the profit they get from buying your data from foodface.

Anyways, so the contention here as it seems to me is that your personal data is worth more to foodface than the service you're getting, and that isn't obvious to you at the time your data is handed over. You can figure it out later but at that point it's too late. The amount of personal data you can salvage once you figure it out is simply taking away future data points, but you're still ultimately "known" up to the point you quit.

... hold on, that's a pretty good startup idea. Meh, nevermind. It's brick and mortar. Those are notoriously difficult.

The latter isn't waste on the whole - somebody is getting a service in return. Then there's a separate question of what the worker is getting (for work that is meaningful to them and for work that isn't); that's one of the topics of the original post.

> it truly saddens me that people think social media is a requirement for living. just dont do it, and dont let your kids do it.

In some ways, it is. News get shared over social media. Events get published (only) on social media. A lot of people organize hobbys or work on social media. You will miss a lot by choosing to ignore it. And yes, you can still live without it, but comparing it to a time when nobody used social media is just apples to oranges.

We as adults can choose not to use it and deal with the social consequences. But other kids won't be understanding or even accommodating. Completely banning you kids from social media is just as bad as letting them use it.

Thanks for your interesting reply. I think it's the first time someone took this idea seriously and addressed it.

I don't see how it's a misconception. All data is a sequence of bits. All sequences of bits are numbers expressed in base 2. How could I be wrong here?

> you can't skip the need to decode data as a number because there're different ways to do it

> if we assume that all data should be read as unsigned binary-integers, are they big-endian or little-endian?

To me this just means all data could be represented as multiple numbers. Mentally, I visualize binary sequences as big endian. It's totally possible that there is another number that represents the same data but with different endianness.

> Or, say a computer has unordered-storage for stuff like bags

There must be at least one number that represents it, that much is certain. I'm just not particularly sure how complex that number is because when I made this argument what I had in mind was discrete self-contained files.

I don't think I understand these other possibilities well enough to comment at the moment.

> It might be more helpful to see binary-sequences as trivially decode-able as unsigned-binary-integers, rather than actually being unsigned-binary-integers.

I don't see the distinction. If you can decode data as an integer, it must be equivalent to that integer.
Hydrogen as a replacement fuel for vehicles is a dead duck. Batteries have won there.

Advertisement is a form of monetization. Now the question is about what you mean with "viable economically". Operating a website is pretty cheap and many non-profits are happy to do it for you for free, for a free-price, or for a membership due (usually 5-20€/year).

If you're trying to get an income from operating a website (or any other creative activity for that matter) that's a different matter. That's what i was referring to with "monetization". I personally believe that we as a species would be better off if less energy was spent trying to monetize everything and more into providing actual services to actual people.
This really reminds me of “tranatlantic accent” which prevailed in the mid 1900 and for many non-English speakers was considered as the de facto English, mainly because of it popularization via news and entertainment industries.

Just like Hollywood and news broadcast, Brazilian soap operas have created the de facto Portuguese accent for non-Portuguese speakers.

Disclaimer: Not an academic, and my whilst undergrad thesis included code it was so broken that when others saw it I had nothing to lose except my pride.

Personally, I would. Open source is a form of peer review, and if you're wanting to stand by your paper as peer-reviewable then I believe the code should be included in that. Generally speaking, I feel more researchers need to open up their code to peer review because generally speaking, research code tends to not have the same robustness against mistakes (through coding convention as well as tests) as professional software development. I shudder to think how many papers have flawed results that no one realises and are just accepted, because no one can spare the effort rebuilding the code from scratch and without any prior reference in order to verify said results.

I don't think you need to clean it up. You're not competing for a coding elegance competition, but rather allowing someone to find bugs if they exist and point it out, just as they would peer reviewing your paper.

More cynically, spaghetti code probably helps as a defense against people ripping off your code, so if you're worried about your competitive advantage then not cleaning it up is a form of security through obscurity :)
I appreciated the visualisation. My CPU fan, on the other hand, was not a big fan.
If you compare, say, Florida and California:
- they were about the same in per capita mortality in the first wave
- Florida was higher in summer 2020 wave
- California was higher in winter 2020/21 wave
- Florida was higher in summer 2021 wave
- California is higher now

The relative policy differences between California and Florida did not switch back and forth. The weather did, and it repeats from year to year. It would be nice to imagine that we always have control, but the actual data suggests that it's mostly a placebo. Other than vaccines, nothing humans have done has had much of an impact on the progress of the disease. The differences you refer to (e.g. Vermont) are largely explained by population density (the population of New Hampshire, for example, is about twice as much in the same area).

If policy such as you describe had a big impact, then we would not see Sweden with a lower per capita mortality than France. Actually, while Sweden is slightly less, they've been very close the entire pandemic, and their policies are very different. If you used the same criteria for policy that you would for, say, a vaccine or a treatment, you would reject it as ineffective.

Just do a super-minimal cleaning and upload to Zenodo or similar, then stick the DOI to the code and input/output files in your paper somewhere. 99% certain your reviewers will not brother to look at your code. 10 years from now someone new looking into the same topic gets a leg up. Don't feel obligated to update, clarify, or even think about the code ever again. If you want to build a community or something, then by all means go for github, but providing code along with your paper should be something automatic and quick, not adding an unwanted burden.
I also tried to make a wordle solver, this one just using full brute force to find a strategy that minimizes the maximum number of guesses, and then secondarily the expected number of guesses. The solver tries guesses in a heuristic order, and prunes solutions once they're clearly worse than a previously-found solution, but it eventually should find the global optimal strategy.

I didn't entirely succeed due to the obvious exponential runtime, but I tried a couple constraints: using only words in the dictionary of possible answers; hard mode; or "harder mode" where all guesses must be consistent with the information you have. (The actual hard mode is a weaker constraint, but I misinterpreted it as "harder mode" at first.) Harder mode is of course much easier to brute force, because there are fewer options.

Anyway I tried on several tuples: (max guesses, mode, dictionary size). What I found:

- (4, harder, large): no solution.

- (4, normal, small): no solution.

- (4, normal, large): didn't finish after like a day, but no solution found.

- (5, harder, small): this is pretty hard to guarantee a win; best starting word is SCAMP (-FLOUT-DEIGN if no hits).

- (6, harder, small): best staring word is PLATE (-CHURN-MOODY-SKIFF if no hits).

- (5, normal, small): didn't finish; best starting word so far is TRACE (-GODLY-SPUNK if no hits).

- (5, harder, large): didn't finish; best starting word so far is PALET.

- (6, harder, large): didn't finish; best starting word so far is SALET.

Hard mode really is hard. There are lots of clusters with many options, such as /.OUND/, /.IGHT/, /.ASTE/, /S.ORE/ etc. You can easily end up matching a cluster without enough freedom to solve it in time, especially if you start with common letters.

It isn't possible to guarantee a hard mode win by starting with with e.g. RAISE, because if you get e.g. RS in yellow and E in green, then you have 6 remaining words matching /S.ORE/ (plus 4 others), and you can't deal with more than one consonant per guess. Starting with TRACE is even worse: you can't even guarantee a win in 7 guesses due to the cluster /.ATCH/.

Two times I have published my research code - both times I have found many other papers/projects plagiarized my work without giving me any credit. This happens way more than you would think, especially if you are working under less known advisor, and at less known university.
