I suspect there's a reasonable argument to be made that under certain circumstances, democracy is a substantial barrier to optimization of governance. Between Soviet/CCP long-term planning capacity and the fascists' making the trains run on time, industrial totalitarianism has a track record of getting the job done.

That said, all that job-doing is at the mortal expense of anyone who disagrees, stands in the way, or can be scapegoated for standing in the way. Also, woe be upon you if your leadership selection process picks a dud (compare the damage an incompetent megalomaniac leader in a limited democratic system can do to the same result in an absolutist dictatorship).

> The sad part is that we could actually solve some real problems by coordinating collective action on, say, starting a new city that's designed around non-motorized transit within the city limits. But we don't. We get Snoop Dogg crypto instead.

Right. And if only we could all just band together, we could create world peace and end hunger! It's so easy you guys! Just everyone cooperate!

You honestly think starting a meme cryptocoin is equivalent to the effort required to build a new city!? How are these things even remotely related?
> The findings were published in prominent scientific publications, including the journals Science and Nature, and gained worldwide attention. However, no research group anywhere in the world succeeded in reproducing the results claimed by Schön.

How is this possible? I thought publications in Science and Nature have to be preceded with at least some minimal verification.

Can someone from the academia explain how this was possible?
Or maybe it’s just yet more shallow and lazy reporting by the increasingly irrelevant profession of journalism.

Home Assistant[1] is the best approach I've found for this. It's pretty amazing but has a pretty steep learning curve (although they're getting better and better at this). The real power of HA is the rich integration ecosystem[2], the Community Store[3], and that it runs locally (more reliable and much faster for things like motion sensors, etc).

It expresses everything from every integration as an entity in various device classes so as long as some random tech is supported by an integration you can group them seamlessly. For example - I have Z-wave based motion detectors but I can control Hue lights and Wemo switches for motion detection - but only if I'm home as reported by the zone feature in their iOS companion application.

Their supervisor/docker based install for Raspberry Pi is pretty slick[4]. Write an image to disk as you usually would and you get a bare-bones OS with Home Assistant running in docker. Then there are additional docker-based add-ons you can install for stuff like MQTT, Z-Wave, Let's Encrypt, SSH access, nginx, and more. All managed in the web ui. Pretty cool.

>different focal lengths won't give any additional information about depth, just the potential for more detail.

This is also why some people will optimize each eye for different focal length when getting laser eye surgery. When your lens is too stiff from age, it won't provide any additional depth perception but will give you more detail at different distances.

- Ads on any sort of app are generally targeted. Meaning they use personal information, including browsing history, to serve you specific ads that you are more likely to click on. By encrypting data at rest and, asking for little personal information, we purposely make it more difficult for us as a company to serve targeted ads. Ideally it would be impossible and this is what we aim for in the short term.

- Fair point. Noted.

- Both points here would be a relatively easy step, so will figure something out. Thanks!

>Though I'd agree that most internet users don't like ads, what's true is that most internet users don't like paying for things. Using YouTube as an example, the most popular site on the internet, the vast majority of people do not pay for YouTube premium even though it's available.

This is a bit circular. People would rather use a free service than a paid service. So long as free services exist it will be hard or impossible for paid services to exist or thrive.

>At the end of the day no one is stopping you from going back to circa-2000s internet, using IRC, going on plain text websites, using BBS, etc.

There's no reason that we should have to make this choice. We don't have to live in a spyware dystopia so that we can have cheaper internet services. This spyware economy is less than 20 years old, and we should throw it out.
> I will gloss over the way you speak about Israeli losses. I am pretty sure you wouldn't speak like that ("only 13+67 dead, oh the pity!") if it were your country.

Of course I would! We (France) have lost more military than this (and a much much higher ratio among involved soldiers) in extra territorial operations in the past few years and we don't make a big deal about how powerful the African armed groups are… They aren't, the fight are almost always one-sided, but you can't wage war without losing men.

Dozens of soldiers dying is nothing when talking about countries doing large-scale military operations. Of course, at the individual level it means 80 individual tragedies, with children losing parents, parents losing children, wifes losing husbands and so on. But on the military level, it reveals a highly asymmetric fight where you didn't really encountered resistance. Really far from your “Hamas is a powerful military” propaganda.

> But logically this way of measuring harmfulness is idiotic

Not if you actually tried to understand my point. Which I would rephrase for you: Tsahal is so dominant in this conflict it could get rid of Hamas military capabilities forever, with ease. They could completely remove the threat they cause to Israel, like how the Fatah on the West Bank is completely helpless today. But they do not do that, and it's on purpose: to wage war, you need an opponent, and nobody neither in the military, nor in the far-right in charge in the government, wants to end up without an enemy.

The former because it would means budget cut (peacetime budget vs wartime budget), the later because they would have no scapegoat to justify their racist and expansionist policy.

I know that. What I consider "scary" is that the EU can only do this because they're aren't directly elected and so not as subject to the typical democratic pressures.

It points at a clear weakness of democracy.

> On the other hand, because of commission, it is in the recruiter's interest to get you as much money as possible so you might get a better offer via them than you would if you went direct.

It's in their interest, yes - but it's not worth more than closing a deal quickly.

They generally make more money by seating 3 hires at new companies for 100k than they do seating 1 hire for 300k.

Because of the downside risk of possibly losing a deal, and further - because they're paid over time as an employee remains with a company, it's much more beneficial to place many people quickly than it is to place a few people for more money.
> It isn't.

So you're saying that Firefox did not on fact have an outage due to a change in their telemetry servers? That's not what the article said.

I understand that you mean to say that it isn't intended for networking to be taken down by telemetry. That's nonetheless what happened, and it could have been prevented by treating telemetry as a different class of traffic (not collocating it with normal requests), or by not having it, as others point out.

This limitation is only for live-streaming. It doesn’t apply to uploading videos. Most of your alternatives don’t have unlimited mass live-streaming features.

The number of platforms that allow free live-streaming to huge audiences is much smaller because it’s a relatively expensive thing to do.

> But it is essential. Google (and Apple) maps provide lane specific navigation directions, which are really only possible with assisted GPS. In theory GPS has the accuracy, but remember you are in a big metal box filled with electrical wires. Not to mention other applications like isle specific navigation within stores, which is made possible by bluetooth beacons.

Tell me exactly how this bluetooth beacons and WiFi APs will help you to determine the lanes? I did several research projects in this area and RF mapping by indoor beacons for navigating outdoors at vehicular speeds is very hard and unreliable. You don't want to get wrong bearing just because an WiFi AP has been moved to another spot. Nice in theory, BS in practice.
It can be useful to use multiple implementations just to catch lingering portability issues (with things the standard does not specify.)

The ISS takes over 10% of NASA's budget at over $3b/year in maintenance, so they won't be able to take care of it and sustain their proposed moon mission at the same time. Plus the low-hanging fruit for research has already been performed. My unpopular opinion is that manned spaceflight is an expensive national vanity project for modest research gains, and the projects that have been most successfull from a science perspective have been the deep space probes/space telescopes.
Yes. But unfortunately, the one being addressed won't have any real impact for generations while more immediate needs are being ignored.

NASA has spent trillions studying the effects of weightlessness on people.

In comparison, they have spent virtually nothing on protecting the plant from an asteroid strike or mitigating the effects of global warming --- both of which are way more pressing concerns.

Studying people in space is about as practical as addressing global warming by funding research on Dyson spheres.

From that article:

Our task is to create new processes for determining what counts as a shared, socially meaningful, mutually understood “truth.” Obviously, this requires more than making sure that every fact is checked.

It's recognizing with double quotes "truth" as a different thing than Truth. Hence it's a confession that their task is to "create a new process for determining what counts as 'truth'" and not genuine fidelity to reality. This means that the process they claim to desire will have, by design, the backdoor of the shared illusion effect. In other words they want to be marketeers of a shared feeling of truth. That's not science, not professional journalism, that's Propaganda. They accuse people of using facts to manipulate the public imaginary and they propose to solve that problem by becoming that people themselves imposing their own manipulation of facts.

Here is an idea: You can have your own opinions but you can't have your own facts. Let reality show you Truth regardless of how that makes you feel and restrain yourself from wanting to impose worldviews on anybody. Nature is infinitely wiser than you (and all of us).

Wow, I did not realize it would send URLs to Google. That does not sound GDPR-compliant.

But even without the privacy issue, you should turn off save browsing because google should not be in control of what users can and cannot donwload. They clearly do not care about keeping that list free of false positives, for example: http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/

I have also experienced Googles disregard for false positives on that list myself. While they may "remove" false listings after you bug them, those entries will just be re-added the next week and of course because this is Google there is no way to get an actual human to look into it. It is insane that all browsers allow a private company to maintain such a list without complete transparency and publicly visible reasoning for why each entry is in it as well as well defined procedures to contest false postives with agagain, publicly visible reasons for denial.
