Blaming the technology for its misuses is always a dubious position to take.

The promoters of said technology (and it's misuses) will always argue that you could say the same about <actually useful technology> which allows <some bad guys> to do this <bad thing> and are you saying this means we should ban this <useful technology> ??!

They would argue this and they would have a point. Also, in an open democratic/non-surveillance state, you can't really ban a technology like this. Instead you focus on regulating the marketing of its misuses or launching information campaigns (I guess that's what you're doing).

Like cigarettes, pink-sheet stocks, multi-level marketing and gambling or any other large revenue sources that are either zero-sum or have net negative social impact, you're better off convincing the public of its dangers than pointing the finger at the underlying technology.

How to Build a Better Metaverse
LIGO is a great example! The LIGO project repeatedly failed to meet requirements and in exchange had its funding requests rejected. The project management was completely restructured, with several people including the original team lead ejected from their roles. Only after coming up with a new budget were they granted additional funding, and after meeting those requirements they were given $200 million in additional funding with which they increased LIGO sensitivity by 400%.

Just curious, what data do you worry about a warrant for? Asking to protect my own data.
You sound like someone who knows about this, and I'm just someone Googling [how much bus weigh], so I'm hesitant to keep posting on this topic, but I'm still really curious where you're getting these weights from.

All of my Googling keeps turning up weights in the 15-20 ton range for fully loaded busses, with city busses more towards the low end of that range, so I'm curious why these busses would be almost twice as heavy.

EDIT: Ah-ha, looking at the picture shows it was an articulated bus, and Googling [how much does an articulated bus weigh] gives weights in the range you listed. So yeah, you're right and that bus should not have been going over that bridge.
> I do, it's my career.

I can only guess at what your career is, but your claim about China not having anything meaningful to contribute to scientific collaborations is absolutely wrong, and indicates a basic unfamiliarity with the state of scientific research in China. China is very quickly becoming a scientific powerhouse. The quality and quantity of research coming out of China is rapidly getting better, and the country already leads in some important fields.

> Please provide evidence.

Read the pre-trial motions. Anyone who followed the case is aware of the FBI's misrepresentation of the email. In the end, the FBI did not even dispute that Prof. Chen was paraphrasing someone else's words.

> Again, you would never question opposition to sharing research with Nazis in the 30s.

China is not, in any way, even remotely like Nazi Germany.

> There's nothing irrational about valuing the sanctity of human life and liberty, and holding disdain for a totalitarian, genocidal, evil government that enslaves and manipulates its people for nefarious purposes.

No, but it is extremely irrational about characterizing China in that way. Most irrational hatred springs from ignorance. If you go to China and tell people they live in an evil country that oppresses them, most people will have no idea what you're on about. It's very hard to overstate just how much life has improved in China over the course of just one generation, and as a result, most Chinese people are extremely positive and hopeful about their country. The view that China is some nightmarish hellhole is really just an outside perception, almost exclusively held by people with virtually no actual knowledge of the country. China is an extremely complicated country, and the simplistic demonization of it in American and European media is cartoonish and uninformed.

I think the main problem with housing is that it's not laissez faire at least from the production side. With homeowners everywhere fighting tooth and nail against any uptick in housing supply, it's not surprising there's a shortage.

> This assumes that, generally, native apps are more buggy.

They are, not because "native" code is inherently buggier but because the amount of code that needs to be written is multiplied by every platform you have to support to replicate the same experience per platform; more code = more bugs, and you have to handle all the nasty edge cases that are specific to each platform: a major increase in bugs is assured.

> And we are talking about a billion dollar company.

The size of the company doesn't matter, it makes no sense to massively increase the cost, complexity and staff size needed to support an existing product that's already massively successful.

> Cross-platform toolkits introduce their own class of bugs, which might require patches upstream to resolve, or annoying local forks.

This is true of literally any external source code you import into your project. However, if you re-invent the wheel you have to pay to fix it rather than having it fixed upstream for free.

I've only read a few but its hit-or-miss... to be expected since the series is written by so many different authors.

I think the Manga Guide to Databases was really good, but the Manga Guide to Linear Algebra was pretty bad.

To be fair, Linear Algebra is really difficult to teach and hard to think of a silly story to wrap it together. But the Princess in the "Database" story is trying to organize the apple-orders of her kingdom, and that's just enough "story" needed to be a good, practical example of Databases, 3rd normal form (as well as the inconsistencies you'd come across in just 1st or 2nd normal form... and how those inconsistencies could lead to double-orders or incorrect data).

A little off the deep end when he gets to the philosophical part (which I understand is what the bulk of the book it is excerpted from is focused on).

It's quite weird at the moment how we have a mix of people with completely discordant views about VR: still lots of people viewing it as a failed experiment from 10 years ago, written it off as having no interest and no future ("I have a VR headset; I got bored with it after a few days and now its in the closet" - most tech journalists); vs those who have pretty much factored in that VR will take over and become a mainstream if not dominant computing experience in a meaningful timeframe.

One thing is clear: with Facebook all in on the Metaverse, Microsoft purchasing Blizzard with one of the core stated reasons that it will empower their "metaverse", and Apple on the brink of releasing a VR product - the hype is back and a huge amount of cash is going to get sunk into VR. Whatever that means for the long term, I'm glad it probably will mean there are some short term dollars to propel the fundamental tech along. Whatever happens, it will be fun to play with that.
> Think of presidents as figure heads. They represent an idea but they don’t have as much power as many think.

This is a bad take. The presidential veto is hugely powerful, since a veto can only be overridden if two-thirds of both houses of congress vote to override. Meaning only bills with strong bipartisan support (i.e. the kind that don't get vetoed) can survive a veto.

If you don't have the Presidency, you don't pass legislation.
Like other short term focused decisions made by the baby boomer generation, the US bridge situation is dire. Within 20 years this will be a common news story.

Unfortunately, spending on infrastructure which benefits most people (including the business owners who vote against it) is now equated with socialism as a dirty word and something which only the evil liberals want, because they want to take your hard work and money and distribute it to people who don’t want to work. At least, that’s almost verbatim what I’m hearing right now on my Texan parents’ Fox tv while I visit.

The US is headed for a very dismal half century, and fighting or even trying to debate appears to not be an option. I see no solution except to call it dead and move to more progressive countries.

Unfortunately, some of the smarter more educated other countries are now being brainwashed by the same tactics that allowed Fox News and conservative radio hosts to lead masses to vote aggressively against their own interests.
I agree that not seating the person who won their local election is a big problem. You mentioned you don’t want their politics to succeed. I just was saying this is a non-policy position. Further, when it comes to how tax money is spent a Libertarian generally is gonna make certain it is spent as approved and allowed so the concern about policy is a tad misplaced.

Like I am not sure which type of communist you are, but if you are along the lines of an anarcho-communist or the lib-left area. All I was saying the main disagreements between the two are regarding business and property ownership. For a lot of things there is a lot of overlap. (They both are south on the basic compass after all) Although some big L libertarians are very hardcore capitalists so I can understand your concerns. Although yea this is a bit of a tangent. I guess all I was trying to say was I am not sure why the concern for a non-policy position.
I would be more shocked if they weren't a fraudster.
>First of all, are we discussing crypto as a currency or blockchains as a technology?

Blockchains require an incentive for members of their network to maintain a copy of the shared ledger. Modeling it after a deflationary currency creates a first-mover advantage that generates this momentum. We're not talking about "theoretical objections" or hypothetical better systems, the commonly implemented blockchain systems are creating problems that are manifesting themselves today, and every ounce of capital invested into them creates real inertia against changing how they fundamentally work.

>Proof of work might or might not be around in the future: who knows?

We can not afford to be ambivalent about how this technology evolves.

Don't you think it would also challenge the ideas of non-religious people?

I can imagine it being pretty disorienting to suddenly find that there is a "supernatural" "higher power", a "creator" that can (and probably does) take an interest in the affairs of men, potentially rewarding or punishing them for their deeds, both during and after their biological life. That seems like exactly the sort of reality that many atheists would most want to avoid.

I'm sure there were spies - but this is not what McCarthyism was about. Primarily it was about communism.

Spying for a foreign govt is bad, and we don't want them in our govt, regardless of their ideology. Communist beliefs, tendencies and association are protected by our (US) constitution.

Targeting spies is good, but McCarty was targeting communists (or alleged communists).
> Prometheus scrapes the same text format as OpenMetrics 1.0

I find the GP's claims weird - I've written a relative ton of collectors, exporters, and translators and the format is pretty OK, not worse than most that came before it and better than lots - but I think this relationship is backwards. Prometheus "scrapes OpenMetrics" because OpenMetrics was formal documentation of what Prometheus was already doing for years.

I would not have preferred JSON. That an exposed metric is also a query is also pretty close to a schematic definition is nice.

Housing is relatively affordable now compared to the past. Yes, house prices are high, but interest rates are low and household incomes are high. There is a post about it at Calculated Risk at https://calculatedrisk.substack.com/p/real-house-prices-pric... that has an affordability index. The only time housing has been more affordable was after the financial crisis.

If housing affordability affected happiness, unhappiness should have been off the charts in the early 1980's. But it wasn't, according to the linked article. People were as happy as ever while taking out mortgages at 18% interest.

> which would be preserved if people were actually interested

And this is the non-obvious point that the first part of OP disagreed with. Preserving and copying texts on any sort of scale without anything like a printing press was hard, specialized work. And there were few or no institutions explicitly devoted to that task - to the best of our knowledge, anyway - prior to the Christian monasteries. The Musaion and Library of Alexandria is described as exceptional simply because it did engage in some primitive version of that work, and even that was not considered important enough to be kept functional for more than a few centuries.

> Humans evolutionarily think about movement with a 2 dimensional mindset because for much of our history we only needed to think about 2d movement.

That might depend on whether the aquatic ape hypothesis is true ;)

More seriously, in addition to diving and climbing, humans have been using throwing weapons for hundreds of thousands of years -- not the same as navigating one's body through 3 dimensions, but it still requires a 3 dimensional mindset because you need to work out where the trajectories will intersect with something traveling in a different plane of movement. So I'd be curious how much hard evidence there actually is for human deficiencies in 3 dimensional thinking compared to say dolphins or parrots.

The fact that the work is necessary is what most people overlook. I just worry a little that if we expect too much then that itself can be a barrier to sustainably putting the effort in.

The massive popularity of React Native on the iOS platform suggests there's more to the story. Discord, Slack, Spotify etc might also beg to differ; all electron apps, all the most dominant players in their respective markets. Consider all the massive gaming successes on the Unity platform?

The deference to native purity is an engineering conceit not something that users actually care about except in rare cases.
I am sorry to make you feel uncomfortable. I am trying to make sense of something that happened to something very near and dear to me. Not trying to do anything to you.

I asked the question about the fleet not to "pull your card" but because I am interested and spent a bunch of time trying to find this information and could not, and am interested in how you came across it. You started off with "look up the weight of a bus" and I that's exactly what I tried to do, and what I found is not the same as what you're saying, so I asked for where you got your data to see if I found bad data or you did.

(And yes, absolutely structural damage is incremental, but that's not material to the claim that this bus weighs over 26 tons.)
