Neil Young tried to censor Joe Rogan by telling Spotify "if you don't kick him off of your platform, then I'm leaving it". Thankfully, Spotify has a spine, so the censorship attempt failed.
> anti establishment artists are now shilling for the man

Yes I came to say the same thing.

I find the artist's behavior, and much of the media coverage of it, to be a bit like the whole "facebook whistleblower" thing. It's framed as an act of defiance, but it's actually the establishment pushing back against something that threatens them. I see this more and more, where the most mainstream and orthodox ideas pretend to be actually some principled stand against an imagined "establishment".

We live in an attention economy, both outside and inside companies. The rules that apply to B2C marketing largely apply inside companies as well.

Despite that we still have people that assume “I sent an email and I’m important therefore everyone got the message”. Try running those emails through some tool like Mailchimp and you’ll probably find less than 40% even opened the email, let alone read beyond the first paragraph.

I’ve done a lot of organising events for engineers inside companies where there are like 500+ engineers. You need email, slack, calendar invites and more to get people paying attention. And often they’re paying more attention to LinkedIn than what’s happening on the “inside” … you can run campaigns on LinkedIn that target your own people…
The delay between when you ask “Alexa turn on the light”. Those 1/2 seconds repeated 20/30 times per day is annoying.

Rogaway has abandoned his patents on OCB[0]. But by now, AES-GCM has hardware support and is ubiquitous. Nowadays, misuse resistance and resistance against partitioning oracle attacks are things you'd (also) expect from a modern AEAD design. AEGIS outperforms AES-OCB. The AEAD horse has already left the barn; there is no longer any point in closing the door.

I've just switched to fastmail for email from gsuite and Gmail. It was effortless and I feel it works better than the Gmail systems did. I also enjoy the ease with which alias and catch all emails from my various domain names work.

The calendar though, this is proving the harder lock in from Google. Google calendar app on Android is superb but has no equivalent, especially if you have Google home devices or you use Android in your car, etc. At the moment I've moved my calendars to Google calendar and have yet to find an equivalent that works as well for it. Fastmail is good, but it's the apps for calendar which aren't quite there in my opinion.

this is great, i was thinking about making a history chain where historians can help seed and propagate content, complete with an profile for each user and their stats, a breakdown of how their stats came to be.

kind of like a baseball card for each historian where people can explore who vouched for who.

there can even be forks where people disagree on what happened, that way the user can follow the evidence, refute it or comment on it for other users to see, kind of like how wikipedia does it but for comments.

that way we can make history more persistent than current archive methods.

but anyways, great work! always good to see educational projects being built, my parents bought a pc for the family, we were homeschooled and a lot of my education (outside of textbooks) came from cd/floppy disk encyclopedias and other educational software
Because the elites are a bunch of right-wingers, right?
That argument doesn't work both ways. One group has far more stringent requirements than the other as evidenced by your use of the word "acceptable".

Web documentation is easy to produce and is acceptable to many. All other kinds of documentation can also be converted into web documentation, therefore you do not have to spend extra effort for it.

Terminal documentation is more difficult due to the limitations of displaying things in the terminal, therefore it requires more effort.
You're right, it's not necessarily fraudulent, and there are cases like yours, or when someone's on vacation and uses their real home address as the return address.

But there's no way to allow those while preventing abuse, so I can't imagine what good options they have other than to reject and trash those pieces of mail (since they have no way to return them). I guess they probably allow them and eat the losses due to abuse?

> We don't teach languages very well. Formal education settings often achieve pretty weak results.

We need to stop teaching languages and start using them. Practically every child in Norway can speak English by the end of primary school but this is not because Norwegian teachers have some magic inaccessible to the rest of the world; it is because they are surrounded by English on the web, on television, film, computer games and they find it useful.

My three children were fluent in their second language (Norwegian) by the time they were four years old with no formal language instruction of any kind, we just sent them to the local kindergarten three days a week from the age of three once they were fluent in English. if memory serves Montaigne said that he learned Latin much the same way, his father hired a tutor who was instructed to speak only Latin.

Throughout childhood, I was subjected to serious physical abuse by my peers, as well as serious verbal bullying/psychological abuse.

I stood up to a long term bully with a below-the-belt comment, which led to extremely violent abuse from peers. One of the last incidents was on the property of a town police officer, before high school started (around 12 yrs old). The police officer stood by while I was horribly beat up (punched full blast to my balls) by a scumbag with a group of people behind him.

The physical abuse included acute trauma from repeated impacts via punches and full strength kicks to my head. Saw stars every time I was hit, like those old Batman comics.

I entered high school as a broken child with cemented learned helplessness. Never the same.

Now homeless and destitute. I became permanently suicidal after grade school, totally afraid of death. Trapped in an unwanted life. Just went homeless yet again last night suddenly. The one shelter here seems like a psyop of sorts: in view of wealthy people, under blinding bright lights. Fodder for the wealthy, like a dystopian plot in popular Netflix shows.

I now suffer from tinnitus and hyperacusis picked up from overexposure. I am a destitute middle aged white male college dropout. Suicidal all of the time. This time going homeless I have no vehicle to sleep in. It's warm here but I am unsheltered. Demoralized, defeated, and hoping to die.

I beg of God to forgive me and grant me peace in the afterlife, whether I am able to complete suicide now or later.
The problem is that people for some reason are living in cities for thousands of years and this helped in progres of science/technology/art. It's a symbiotic, not parasitic relationship.

If you’re writing the code and sanitizing inputs you only have yourself to blame. Just like every other app ever written?
It’s basically a giant inside joke. Explaining it won’t do any good, not helped by the fact that in a lot of cases with ironic and absurdist humor, it’s not really funny on its own premise.

The meme basically took the phrase “Don’t lecture me with your thirty dollar haircut” and stuck it next to a bunch of emoji. For some reason, this transformed into videos where the emoji was interpreted as memetic audio clips. In some cases, I’ll admit the joke just boils down to “loud stupid noise funny.” But the reason why people find it funny, is literally because they know it’s not. You’ll even see them saying things like, “I know this isn’t funny, but I can’t stop laughing.” If anyone understands enough psychology to explain WTF is going on here, I’d love to know.

On the other hand, the meme, which is admittedly not really funny on its own, spiraled into a fairly neat website where you can actually sequence music, sort of like Mario Paint. I think that’s it’s neat regardless of what you think of the humor that lead to it.
Of course, the real skill is in delivering a simplified message. "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

When you appreciate the nuance, how do you decide what to strip away?
Funny, I find the opposite. Maybe it's a desire to feel efficient, but if asked "how long did that take you", I feel like saying ⅔N hours rather than N hours. Then again, I'm a full time employee, so I'm not billing by the hour, like lawyers that get $100 for responding to your email.
I used zoho for a long time, but they started removing features from the free tier, like IMAP/POP access, so you're forced to use their client and can't backup your emails.

B/c I use gmail for my personal email, I found that if I didn't have a unified inbox, I would miss reading important emails.
Which is why i used the term "out-group" first and foremost.
It's not saying there shouldn't be specialization.

You are correct in theory. What you don’t seem to be taking into consideration are firewall vulnerabilities or other unknown things that could happen that make it different from a practical standpoint.

For all my years of learning Latin and Greek in school, it all went over my head. Declensions remained impenetrable as I couldn't instinctively map them to any patterns. In my case it extended to Spanish, which I found impossible to comprehend and articulate a sentence in because of a complete lack of interest for the classes I was taught the language in.

A few years after school I took to reading Medieval Latin and found it quite easy. Not so much because the Latin itself bears the traces of Romance, but because I wanted to read Latin. As it happens my Spanish is now decent and Greek is coming along.

You made good points, but maybe you could have done so without calling the parent's analogy "dumb"?
What's interesting is that it seems to still be much less performant on very small systems than "commercial DOS".

I have a kit-built machine with an 8MHz 8088-class CPU, and FreeDOS is much slower to boot than PC DOS 2000 (the final mainstream MS/PC DOS release). When I used it years ago on 486-class machines (distraction0-free laptops) the gap didn't seem so wide.

Pity DR-DOS seems to have disappeared into the ether. It was a competent choice to, and I know there was a point where you could get a source distribution for embedded purposes, so you'd expect that the next logical step would have been crowdfunding a source buyout.
This inspired me to finally get a drying rack after years of living in Sweden and hanging my laundry on doors.
We used to compare the speed of new & fast computers to the VAX 11/780, then to the Cray-1. Now we can buy a computer that exceeds the speed and memory of a Cray-1 for $10 and lose it in between couch cushions.

What we're missing, though, is excitement about this. Tell a group of high schoolers in the mid '80 that they'd have a chance to run whatever they wanted on a Cray-1 for an hour, and they'd come up with all sorts of ideas. Today? They have all this power and much, much more, but most people don't care very much.

It's a real shame that Cray supercomputers were used to model weather, to calculate ideal parameters for fusion experiments, to design other computer systems, to start the computer visual effects world, yet we have so little software from these machines.

I'm very happy to see this preservation effort.

The pictured BBS (Software Creations BBS) used PCBoard as its software, and reportedly had 134 nodes: https://en.everybodywiki.com/Software_Creations_(US)

It was a major shareware distribution site for the biggest shareware game publishers such as Apogee/3dRealms, id software, etc. So a disproportionately high amount of their usage was likely file downloads, which would lead to a different setup than a large BBS dedicated to multi-user text games.

Setups depicted as in this photo were extremely rare, and only made sense for highly specialized purposes (e.g. major file distribution hub as in this case). There were very few BBS's with over 100 nodes. I'd wager none with "thousands", that was absolutely unheard of with any traditional commercial BBS software that you could purchase.

By the 90s, large US metro areas tended to have hundreds of hobbyist boards with 1-2 nodes, and a small handful with 50-100 nodes. The large ones were typically either pay-for-access text game/chat/community hubs, or occasionally commercial systems run by companies (file hubs, customer support systems, etc).

Sure, you could run multiple nodes of RemoteAccess or PCBoard or whatever on a single PC, if using a multi-tasking OS. But "multiple" here means like 3 or 4 nodes max per PC, at least in the early to mid 90s. Beyond that you'd run out of RAM, because each node was a separate copy of the BBS software exe, relying on file sharing/locking for coordination. It was wasteful of system resources -- the OP's point is absolutely correct here!

In contrast, MajorBBS (popular for large text game BBS's) implemented its own multi-tasking / event polling loop, used efficient btree-based storage, etc to handle 50-100 simultaneous users on a single PC in a single process on DOS. In theory it could handle up to 256 nodes, although I don't know of any BBS's that actually got that large. Maybe Metropolis GamePort's BBS, but I vaguely remember they split it into multiple separate systems.

"This helps us arrive at an interesting observation about the nature of space in our universe. If we are in a simulation, as it appears, then space is an abstract property written in code. It is not real. It is analogous to the numbers seven million and one in our example, just different abstract representations on the same size memory block. Up, down, forward, backward, 10 miles, a million miles, these are just symbols. The speed of anything moving through space (and therefore changing space or performing an operation on space) represents the extent of the causal impact of any operation on the variable “space.” This causal impact cannot extend beyond about 300,000 km given the universe computer performs one operation per second. "

I'm not an expert on the motivations of medieval generals, but if you've spent your whole life fighting for "God" and suddenly the people who are supposed to be close to God don't seem to have a clue what they're doing, don't you think that might impact your willingness to fight?

The Roman Empire had always centered on Italy, Greece and Anatolia. Until 1050 the ERE had always had a toehold in Italy and most of Anatolia. By 1100 they had lost all of Italy and most of Anatolia:

It's true that theological disputes accumulated gradually before the Schism and were interleaved with political disputes, but this doesn't really dispute the importance of the theological split and instead smears it over the previous two centuries (arguably beginning with the coronation of Charlemagne).

If you’re using rust-analyzer in your editor of choice, it will often suggest and auto-import traits when you try to use their methods with the trait not in scope. It knows, based on the dependency graph and your own code, all of the traits that could provide a method.

I use rust-analyzer in emacs, but it’s available in any editor that supports language servers.

With my setup, I’ll start typing a method, get a completion for the trait method I want with the trait indicated, and select the completion. The trait is then automatically imported and the method is completed.
Author has a point yet inexplicably dresses it up with bashing classicists. Author sure seems to know a lot about all classicists all from what a single one of them said, apparently carelessly and without rigor, in a setting that no one should have taken too seriously. This is employing the fallacy of hasty generalization, which the author uses as a point of departure but never strays too far before coming back again to bash classicists' command of Latin. I wish a classicist would respond. Most of them are mental giants that would make quick work of the author's meandering editorial, if only they were remotely interested in anything written in the last 1200 years. Author is clearly not an academic. Academics don't bicker... there is no hierarchy or pecking order there, with the economists on top, physicists in the middle, and theater professors at the bottom. In general, they all respect each other's work and PhDs (except interdepartmentally... head of dept. stuff is political), because they know how much work they invested in their own.

Forgot to cover your last part, the 15 billion is for all states and federal government not just taxes in those 3 states. It's more like $45 per person or ~$100 per taxpayer per year. The distribution will be bimodal with those paying income tax will be paying significantly more than median and those just partaking will normally be paying significantly less than median. Of course most aren't involved at all.
> That ratio indicates that there is some biased process leading to the ratio, and that process should be de-biased.

Or that people have different preferences?

> Presuming women and men have equal math abilities (I assume this is true) and equal desire to obtain degrees (not entirely sure; this is a very controversial topic) you would expect that an unbiased selection process would generate 50% male/female ratio.

If by that you mean that "for each degree, the percentage of the people that want to get it follows the repartition in the population", it is absolutely not true. I don't know why or what mechanism are at play here, but assuming that this is all bias seems very weird.

> Again, many assumptions and conclusions in what i just said are not absolutely certain.

I think this is a really weak reason to collect racial statistics in the first place.

That's true, but you can also base yourself on things like revenu which seems to be more universal than race.
