I'm afraid banning encryption doesn't alleviate this very real issue. In the current ecosystem, nothing is stopping people to install whatever they want on their phones / computers (well, Apple does stop them, but aside from that), and so, it's just an install away that the child rejoins the encrypted network where everything is possible.
What you expect may be different from what will eventually happen, and since the vast majority of houses are actually built by people that intend to sell them (builders), those make the market price, and - at least now - a passive house valued 30% more than average market is not easy to sell or rent, maybe this will change, maybe not.
I just discovered "pide" [0] from a local restaurant which is roughly the same thing from the next region over.

There's a neat pattern around the eastern Mediterranean where lots of cultures eat roughly the same foods (because they have been exchanging cultural concepts along with their trade goods and humans for millennia) but because of parallel historical tensions, each culture is vitriolically convinced that they invented their foods.

So they're not opposed to an end-to-encryption in principle? I'm sure that was an honest mistake.
How was it hazardous or "outright dangerous"?

You see a build fail, you pin the previous version of that dependency, run the build again and go on with your life.

Asshole move? Sure. Hazardous and dangerous? Don't be dramatic.
A browser plugin to make (Google) fonts offline
I am concerned about my privacy on the internet and i think using cdn's for data that is very common and often reused - such as fonts - opens a huge door to user tracking.

In a short research i did not find a browser plugin to replace online font cdn's with locally cached fonts. I wanted to open a discussion about the feasability, problems, ideas and interest in such a plugin.

If you think this is a good idea and you'd love to work on it, you are very welcome to "steal" it. I will hardly be able to work on it myself in the near future.
It depends. I think most real world problems are complex and usually do not have comprehensively defined rules. I think it's extremely unlikely that a complex issue will share all the attributes of another complex problem. I say this assuming we are looking at the n-order impacts of a system or solution.

It's possible that we could decompose the complex problems into simpler ones and the solution for a subset could be shared. Although in most cases I feel that the effects will be at least slightly different as far as the n-order effects.

For example, the solution to inflation could be tying a number to automatically adjust based on CPI. This might make sense for a SS payment and COLA. It might not make sense for basis adjustment of school property taxes as other variables could adjust the revenue need, like decrease in students or increase in funding from other sources. It looks like they map on the surface, but not when you dig deeper.
a total ordering doesn't necessarily carry any semantic meaning and is not really what we care about here. We want semantically important ranges, to be able to check domains and ranges of float-valued functions (for example, arcsin, arccos, 1/x, etc.)
So according to that list, my idea would work.

According to the sibling comments, it does not only work, but some people are already using it in practice.
> It doesn't need to be perfect. It only needs to be better than humans as an average.

Sadly I don't think this will be true. The problem is that if a person causes an accident only that driver is at fault. If a self driving car causes an accident it follows that all similar cars would have behaved the same, so they are all considered to be at fault. That will only be mitigated if they drive better than humans.
Think of what you acquire when you acquire a company. You acquire intellectual property - products & ideas, you acquire people - future ideas, you acquire customer base - players. If you behead the company you certainly will lose critical people with it risking the products and customer base too. This isn’t Microsoft’s first acquisition, they’ll manage realignment of the new organization differently than just wholesale ejections. I’m sure Bobby’s new schedule has time for rest while he vests.
Awesome, thanks for sharing! I’ve been building using yjs and it’s indeed something much more exciting than a bunch of bs we see with web3.
Can you extrapolate on this? In my understanding in recent conflicts (e.g. Armenia and Azerbaijan) and currently in Ethiopia, drones (okay, we're not talking about fighter jets here but still, autonomous or near autonomous aerial systems) have played critical roles in eliminating air defenses, heavy weaponry, etc. and in future conflicts now that parties on all sides know how important the use of such drones are, will be deploying their own drones as countermeasures.
Do politicians actually care about piracy?

I get how IP holders care about piracy, but I don’t think it resonates enough with the general public for it to really matter to politicians… Unless the politicians are literally just being paid by IP holders to care about it, which could be a thing.

This is actually deeply problematic, as a part of what's driving the replication problems is specifically publication bias. If the only thing that gets published are unexpected or noteworthy results, you're selecting for statistical aberrations.
Wow, thats the future i am looking forward to.

'You have a choice, you can pick Microsoft or Disney. More options would only confuse you'
I understand why you would call your offer a free choice, the are no constraints attached to the options that could obviously influence the decision, for example picking the ice cream also requires paying a million. Different people with different preferences would make different choices.

But pick one specific person, why would you call their pick a free choice? There choice might not be influenced by your offer but it will be by their preferences. Let them choose, rewind the universe a minute or two, let them choose again. They will make the same choice over and over and over again.

Maybe not if there is true randomness in the universe and this choice happens to be influenced by some random event.

Which app if you dont mind sharing?
Approaching the age of 40, I have to admit that I'll probably live a very boring and forgettable life.

I guess I'll guide my son to find some passion early in his life, so that even though his life might as well be a boring one, he himself may have the luxury of regarding it as a slightly more interesting one.
How do you identify civilians on the ground? Are they as easily identifiable at a glance like objects in the air? Do they all carry transponders to identify themselves wirelessly?

We’re certainly far away from effective solutions for either but one problem is much easier to solve.

Example of good vertical integration: Apple M1/AirPods/iPhone/Apple Music. That's a very convenient ecosystem for users, and it allows Apple to reduce manufacturing cost. We both agree there should be strong competitors to Apple, for the lower manufacturing costs to propagate to consumers as well.

>Yes, that's exactly what I want to accomplish. These companies are too big & powerful.

Economic growth is a consequence of gains in productivity. Therefore, we should champion economic growth because it allows us to do more during a day.

>Huge companies use acquisitions to squash innovation.

Another idea: people set up really innovate companies because they hope to be acquired by a bigger company. In other words – big companies enable an incentive structure favouring innovation. In general, VC:s (which drive most innovation today) hope to exit via an IPO – but selling to a big tech-company is a safety cushion. If we remove the safety cushion – the VC market will be more risk averse and less willing to spend on innovative, but unproven, ideas.
They really should, but is Activision-Blizzard that company? Of the 7 Activision releases in 2020 to now 4 are Call of Duty, a game that's much more popular on consoles than on PC. Blizzard is the PC side of the company, but they are mostly games that are slowly dying due to mismanagement. The IP is very valuable, but current PC sales alone wouldn't make Microsoft dominant by a long shot.

I agree with your latter point. Fully out of country[0] citizens and maybe permanent residents after a certain amount of time.

But not the high flat tax thing. For the income portion of my compensation, I pay around 50% and it's not bad. With a UBI and a flat tax we don't have to make exceptions for married couples or non-married couples. The marginal dollar is always taxed the same. And if you're making, say, $60k a year that would be $42k after the UBI so the effective tax rate is 30% which seems reasonable.

[0] There have been years where I was out of country for long enough to not have to pay taxes to Canada if I had been in one spot, but I'd moved around enough not to qualify to pay anywhere else so I was still paying taxes to Canada despite not being here for a while. Common enough digital nomad thing.

I'm hoping the Steam Deck will provide a more open portable console.
Another classic Weinberg...
This is what Thomas Kuhn describes as "normal science": fitting observations into the current scientific paradigm.
This isn't true, there are plenty of trivial examples to counter this notion.

e.g. Annapurna Interactive has been publishing AAA-quality titles from indie devs for a long time. And most of those games don't fall into the roguelike or platformer vertical.
That seems like a weird analogy. There are fabolously rich and successful American megachurch pastors (or whatever they are) that probably have no connections to the Catholic Church.
What is the actual effect? Are your characters deleted? Is your legally purchased copy (license) of the game forfeited?
Nor does deployment. Podman, Rancher, etc all solve those challenges without relying on Docker and with Docker changing their licensing I don't think it will be the de-facto tool in a couple years. There will be others that will replace it.
This is sound advice in general but it depends a little on your exact role. If you're the sole "important consultant" then this is true, but if you're sent there as part of a team doing a mix of consulting/bodyleasing/developing stuff for the customer it seems to happen quite often that someone at the customer will pretend (or not) to listen to your advice, do the exact opposite, and in the end blame you that the project didn't finish on time/on budget/whatever. And I think the problem is that you might be invested a little more as a temporary cog in the machine than when being strictly on your supposed high consultant horse.
That may be true, but the switch exists in a market where games are extremely cheap. High quality free to play games, cheap indie games I play for weeks, steam sales, huge numbers of games given away by Epic Games, "free" games with prime gaming, and the insane value of Game Pass. It feels like every time I spend money on a game its free on the Epic Store or "free" on Game Pass within a few months. There's never been a cheaper time to be a PC gamer... assuming you already have a PC.

I still play $60 for games because it's not a big deal for me but it's weird when I already have so much entertainment available for almost nothing. Playnite says I have 1050 games available to play, about 50 are duplicates and about 350 are from Game pass. I've apparently spent less than $600 on steam and much less than that on all other stores. Seems like the market value of the average game is about $1. (Hands waving furiously)
I'd prefer the long version in that case: "Hi, do you have a few minutes to chat about X?" I might have the capacity to talk about X now, but Y would have to wait.

Podman does the same thing, as well as other tools. Using Docker to refer to something that doesn't use Docker is like saying that your Android Phone is an iPhone.
The government already takes about third-ish if you’re a wage worker in the US. Is there something special about 50% in return for, say, UBI (for you a 12k tax rebate), and guaranteed heath insurance that is unpalatable?

Like I get the pessimism of taxes just disappearing to the ether but this whole idea is predicated about everyone getting something of tangible value that equalizes around the median income.

Like I also make good money but that makes me care less rather than more about my tax burden. Like I’m comfortable enough that I don’t really care than I’m putting in more than I get out.

> Wouldn't the same apply to Hawaii? Which it would be hard to argue they don't have ethnic cuisine.

Not to say the GP is right, but I was in Hawaii a few years ago and the native food wasn't especially common. IIRC, there were only a few places that served poi, which used to be the staple food, and I had to specially seek it out. Plate lunches were everywhere by comparison.

Hawaiians are different than North American Indians, since, IIRC, the Hawaiians remained independent until much more recently. It's plausible that more of their traditions survived into modern times where preservation of such traditions seems to be a higher priority.

(To the GP) Aren't Jonnycakes European?

Exactly. One of the reasons to build on top of Matrix was that it opens the path to end-to-end-encryption. Matrix E2EE (Olm) is heavily based on Signal, and wouldn't be trivial to build from the ground up.

I have a prototype running that uses Matrix-CRDT and Matrix E2EE, and it worked great. It's still a bit of a hassle to set up though (mainly, configuring the matrix sdk correctly), I hope to make that easier later this year.
That depends on your model of international relations. Most states have recognized that international relationships are far from zero sum, and that wars between peer competitors are almost never worth it. Indeed, the success stories since WW2 have been those countries that have spent very little on weapons, and engaged in few wars (with the US being the exception).

Even if you take WW2 and WW1 into account, the biggest winner of those conflicts (the US) spent the least on armaments prior, and had probably the least aggressive foreign policy of any major power.
> If the blockchain were the authority on IP addresses

But it's not -- the root servers are -- by premise here. Premise is we assume zero config results in ICANN root servers having authority. My point is that given this premise, blockchain is ineffective. You are introducing ICANN as informational MITM and censor node in between user and blockchain validation.

True, you are excluding USA, if your only goal is exclude USA then this accomplishes that goal, but if your goal is censorship-proof then this is not it.

If you are willing to invest your time, open source projects can be a low barrier to entry route. Show up, work on a project for free, now you have a network. Probably you don't actually have to work for free either because there are some open source projects with funding.

Counter argument for those who think consulting is "great" (because it's not - at least from a business owners perspective).

TLDR: consulting has huge variable costs, you have to float A LOT of money, no reoccurring revenue, difficult to differentiate since people are your "product".

- the business model of consulting is extremely grinding, difficult and exhausting for business owners

- your "product" is your people, which causes all kinds of business problems

- the only way to scale revenue is to hire more people

- more people means you need more billable hours, which means you need more customers in an industry that DOES NOT HAVE REOCCURRING revenue. As such, if you try to sell your consultancy - you get extremely low multiples on revenue.

- cash flow becomes a MASSIVE PROBLEM because there are hard costs to pre-sales actives to win business, and even after business is won, you have to float your staff salaries typically 45-90 days until billing kicks in. (think about that for a moment, if you have 10 employees who you pay $120k/year/each, if 90 days is the float time, that $300k in cash reserves you need just because of float (3 months * $10k/mo * 10 employees)

- when you're not billable, that's literally costing you money in order to pay your staff. You can QUICKLY become unprofitable in a matter of just a few months.

- You're margin is inverse rated to billable time. E.g. if you are marking up your staff's salaries by 30%, that means to breakeven - that staff needs to be billable 70% of the year. (And that is assuming $0 presales/marketing/etc costs)

Again, consulting is a brutal business to be in.

kak is my daily driver. About the only customization I do for it is the integration of fzf for file picking-- althought its window management with kitty seems to be broken, I have to run it inside tmux for this to work. Recently I more often than not use broot as the launcher for kak instead of directing kak to open files from inside kak.

Multiple selections with the visual preview before action was the key feature for me-- it is a nice affordance compared to having to mentally model what an operation would do with a vim movement.
Do players really prefer the current AAA space right now though? There are many indie games out there made by a small team (or even one person) that are very popular and successful (e.g. Stardew Valley, Outer Wilds). For me personally, I haven't really enjoyed a AAA game in years. I tend to stick to indie or more niche experiences. I think AAA studios might do well if they split up their massive teams to create many, more focused games instead of one big blockbuster that primarily serve as a vehicle for microtransactions.

Actually if there are consistently 10% migratants with a fertility rate above the average, this will cause a growth in whatever ethnic groups are migrating - even if you just consider them 'french' or 'spanish' in the second or third generations. Muslims make up 8.8% of France right now, and they have grown significantly as a percentage of the population even in the last ten years almost a percentage point. Will this ever go to 50%? Probably not but we are likely to see a higher fraction in the future.
You may actually have something there. The average word length in English is approximately 5 letters, which gives you an average of about 56 words per tweet.
