People were specifically upset with unfair negative articles it wasn’t about factual criticism.

The New York Times doxing a popular pseudo anonymous blogger for example Slat Star Codex, there were articles dragging people for making charitable donations just a lot of stuff that was more gossip and hit pieces injected with the journalist’s opinion and not news.

Also articles dragging tech for not being “diverse” when journalism has a much bigger lack of diversity problem.

Don't let your hate of porn, however justified you think it is, blind you to the harms of censorship and de-anonymization. As others have noted, they have already been caught censoring all sorts of non-porn content under this guise.

That you can remove the block doesn't fix all the issues - anyone under 18 is still confined to a government-approved subset of the internet, and many over-18's won't lift the filter, further marginalizing dissident websites that, entirely by accident, find themselves blocked.

That's just author's speculation. Most probably he did conduct the hack himself, because he had private keys to all the original withdrawal addresses.
There's probably something to this analysis, but to go from "jobs that depend on cultural as opposed to financial capital can lead to overly homogeneous groups with strong and at times bizarre in-crowd behaviors" to the idea that a majority or at least a very large group of writers and journalists are "a hilariously homogeneous monolith of progressive cosplay, often producing little in the way of insight or information, surviving emotionally off the status returns of living in a bubble of mutual-affirmation and shared anxiety", well, that's like, just your opinion, man, and rather ironically an opinion that depends not on any honest attempt at assessing the prevalence of the problem but is constructed for the sole means of pandering to an in-crowd.

.bash_history is great when sshing into a server you haven’t visited in awhile that does a specific thing and you have all the previous sessions commands at your fingertips. It’s not so great for local dev when you have 8 terms open all the time.

For local dev I’ve switched to zsh which has better history management, but it’s still not perfect and sometimes things get ignored (or forgotten?).

This pdf is very helpful, would be great to see something similar for others like zsh and fish

That bar has now been replaced with Twitter, and other social media, but it is hard to listen to the conversations because of the number of voices all speaking at once...... the truth is out there, just hard to find.

"Authoritative Sources" are not the solution either, which is what most social media companies seem to be banking on as the solution to "fake news" but their chosen authority are just as prone to reporting non-sense as some random guy with a blog
Ah!!

I actually rewrote it to the form it is now, about 15 seconds after posting it, to try to remove any suggestion it's about the report; it's possible I suppose that some people reacted to it before I did.

I went from "paragraph" (as in, in an article) to "parenthetical" in the colloquial sense. Like, literally every process or discussion about anything going on in the country has to have this sidebar about how much worse it is because of all the changes.

I don't really read it as confusing because I had the "thanks, disaster capitalists" bit, which should be unambiguous, but I haven't had my coffee, so I will note and upvote your point and think about it next time I write stuff :-)

JET ran its moonshot campaign 25 years ago. Moonshot as in "we don't care if the machine runs again", for whatever reason. It hasn't been funded for nuclear operations since then. It's not that it took 25 years to make progress. It took 25 years to find funding.

In extension to this news and the press conference, one thing I am super excited about, is the private SPARC project and the MIT-spinoff Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS). If you don't know about it already, I would highly recommend checking it out (e.g. by searching YouTube for "MIT Sparc Fusion Reactor" for some fairly accessible videos on the theory behind why they should achieve fusion way faster than the current roadmap with ITER and DEMO).

In the press conference just ended, they repeated how exactly the JET reactor worked as predicted by theory. In my layman's understanding, for the exact same reason (seemingly very sound theoretical groundwork), the SPARC reactor should exceed breakeven within the next few years.

From Wiki on CFS:

* Back in September 2021, they built the strongest high-room-temperature superconducting magnet (20 Tesla) suitable for a fusion reactor

* Theory dictates that with stronger magnets, the reactor can be scaled down (with the square/cube, can't remember exactly), and thus cost and time to develop

* Back in November 2021, they raised $1.8 billion from the likes of Bill Gates

Boy, do I think it would be crazy cool if they succeed, even taking twice as long as they've planned! :)
I'm not taking sides, but yes if one thinks refusing the shot is unjustified then the rest seems silly.

In terms of disruption, my understanding is that mandates for truckers came into effect just 3 weeks ago.
> I think it might be something much simpler, like "journalists often can't find another job based on their english-adjacent degree; and the barrier to entry for journalism is very low".

I have read enough bad documentation to know there is a hot market for documentation writers. Now, if only english-adjacent degree holders knew about ... well, the documented stuff.
Point taken - I can't dispute the fact that you read it this way!
All else being equal, people prefer to associate with their more attractive peers. It's an ugly fact, but true.
It's an objective historical fact.

The overwhelming majority of ethical and moral progression in human history coincided with the extension of private property rights to more and more of the general population, and retracted when those rights were rescinded.

This occurred both because of the recognition of humanity that goes along with granting these rights, and the technological progressions enabled by allowing opportunity and innovation to occur in larger swaths of the population rather than an aristocratic hyperminority.

Our kids enjoy the Python 101 in Minecraft Educational Edition. They are familiar with the game, and Python is reasonably kids friendly. Installation was a hassle at home, having to create some special Microsoft account and 12$/year subscription (and not a school/teachers/student version)

At school they teach Scratch and Blockly.

> Use the right tool for the job.

This is a strawman. I never claimed one should use Liveview for all web work. I'm just saying people _want_ to do web stuff with languages other than javaScript. javaScript is only "the right tool" in the sense that it's the only one that's native to the browser. If they substituted javaScript with any of the other popular general purpose languages no one would be any worse off for it (not factoring in the ecosystem built around it). javaScript doesn't have any features that make it better suited for the web than other general purpose languages. It's _only_ real advantage is that years ago a decision was made to create and use JS (edit: ..in the browser) and we've all been stuck with it since.

It's been a long time since I heard anyone say SWIM. I thought we all recognized that it wouldn't hold in a legal context and was thus unnecessary. I dont know if it was true but I distinctly remember that conversation happening at least a couple times in a couple places and the use of SWIM fading out after.
I'm ignorant in the matter of food scarcity in USA, but I would say that hunger is far from solved.

USA may produce more food than it can consume, but there is still the cost of production and delivery of food. Hunger will still be a thing if food costs more than people can pay. USA may collectively have enough money to buy food for everyone, but the will to spend public money is not there at the current cost of food.

The following is scifi hopefulness ...

When I say an end to scarcity, I mean all scarcity. Primarily that of energy. If we had unlimited free energy we could solve most other problems of scarcity. With free energy we could desalenate ocean water, we could have vertical indoor farms with artificial sunlight.

Robots could do all the manual labor. I'm assuming a society with free energy has also developed general purpose robots that can learn to do any task assigned to them.

There is still the problem of limited natural resources. Unless we develop the technology to create the raw materials by reassembling the molecules of trash.

Also, I wonder what will happen to people and economic activity if robots take all the manual labor jobs.
Thanks for archiving this. So basically a pump and dump rug pull and you have a 'self-made' crypto millionaire story, all for the clicks and the BBC are now praising scammers? The coin called 'Orfano' founded by the same person [0] shutdown in October and that wasn't even mentioned in the article.

So much for high quality journalism. /s

Now I remember why I cancelled my TV licence since the BBC in 2022 loves to spread misleading stories and misinformation like this, there is no effort in investigating the truth anymore.

They have done this sort of misinformation like this before haven't they?

Downvoters: It is true isn't it? The BBC has just been caught spreading misinformation. Otherwise why did they take it down in the first place?

Sorry, I lost context and was not thinking of the search engine but of a statically generated blog with small pages and little media. Also, thanks for confirming my hunch about the bigger factor being statefulness rather than dynamicity.

CPU, RAM storage are incredibly cheap nowadays. But so much can be going on at a time that _certainty_ is now what's pricey.
It appears to me the issue is browser warning dialogs that imply it is always very dangerous. There should be either more context explained in those dialogs or a recognition of/mode for sites that are supposed to be self signed.
Then you're routing internal traffic through a public IP? Or do they support wildcard certs?
> The tech industry is now the biggest industry in the world

Is it though? I can’t find reliable sources (likely because “tech” isn’t specific enough), but some site says tech is 10.5% of US GDP. That’s not even close to being the biggest industry.
I think you meant to write RISC-V and not just RISC.
I played outside, and learned to code. Still do both. But I do appreciate the caution. It seems like kids have less spare time today. Don't know if it's because schoolwork is more intense (it seems to be) or we push more activities on them (yeah, probably guilty). Or both.
Data misreporting during the Covid-19 crisis: The role of political institutions
I am definitely not a Christian but I find that statement blatantly ridiculous and counterfactual. A Christian will hold a firm set of values for their entire life, whether or not they actually practice those values (not a Christian-specific problem). The average Brooklyn liberal will give Lindsey Graham or Biden a run for their money on flip flopping as the breeze changes.
Hi, author here!

Just to be clear, I am not a huge fan of forcing paradigms, but I thought that exploring other paradigms is nice, and giving the people to do that while on familiar ground (in Elixir) is also nice.

That's why the article is full of disclaimers of "don't force this on other people in production if they don't want it pls" :)
I just did that. Thanks for the hint. I'll see how it goes vs the other way. I don't mind Twitter selecting Tweet order from the people I follow, I want to see the most interesting content after all, I just want to be the one in control.
The problem is that alot of the "criticism" seems be around economic protectionism not actual criticism. They are critical that a tech company dare allow an a person from the unwashed masses to have as big of a megaphone for their speech as the gilded elites from an established journalistic outlet
Seconding this approach.
Keeping credit card details will expose private companies to the requirements of PCI to store them. It's against those rules for private companies to keep the cardholder information connected to the card details like the PAN. The PANs aren't even allowed to be stored unencrypted and access to them is subject to PCI as well.

Plus it means that people that don't have those forms of identification will be restricted from using the internet. Libraries won't be able to offer a lot of services, the "unintended side effects" are enormous.

But never put it past this particular British government from establishing the very best in footguns.
this is cute, there are a few such easter eggs, unfortunately google is not spending as much time providing actual, good results for regular searches anymore.. maybe they got distracted playing games on their logo..
There are a whole lot of web APIs that were developed without a care for privacy/security, that are slowwwwly being mitigated by Mozilla's resistFingerprinting and Tor Browser. Browsers certainly do more to get sandboxing right than native apps, but they aren't a panacea.
Yeah, this is the way to go. If your DNS provider doesn't let you setup limited scope access tokens, then you can use something like acme-dns with delegated dns challenges, as long as you have a single external server.
Media channels get paid even when they are free: in goodwill, reputation, visibility, etc etc - all that stuff they are so keen to bestow on their workers in the lower organizational rings.

Regardless, the guilt trip you're so keen to induce would maybe trigger if I could pay these folks by article, rather than with feudalistic subscriptions that are notoriously hard to cancel. As it is, my conscience is unblemished.
They aren't saying those are all the currencies that exist, they are saying those are the ones they currently accept.

The question they are asking is specifically "should we continue to accept these" and not "should we accept a bunch of new ones instead" which seems to be the conversation you're trying to have.

Anyway though you've only addressed one of the three points. Even if the second one can be dismissed through proof of work magic or whatever the first and third points are still relevant and strong.
Do you know anything about what happened to Duna Rock?
I have local DNS setup to resolve my personal domains to hosts on my home network. They do support wildcard certs, _only_ if you use some form of DNS challenge.
In Linux, just run an app as separate user. Linux is a multi-tenant OS, so users are well protected from each other. If you need to share files with program, share them via a shared folder, e.g. `/tmp`.
I think there are some specific failings with the remain argument -- people failed to make the case that is surely now obvious that you can't just unpick this without major fallout. Though they definitely did try.

The problem is they also came up against vile, populist hate about Syrian immigrants, Romanian neighbours, people not speaking english on buses, fake news about pillow regulations; it went on and on. And a lot of that stuff really was funded by deeply shady money.

Brexit was the first real demonstration of how good faith cannot possibly counter weaponised, well-backed bad faith, IMO.

It is what it is, I agree, and alas it is wholly irreversible. But at least within five years we won't have to worry about how Great Britain and Northern Ireland repositions itself within Europe, because the consequences of the vote will be the end of that too.

I remember being nervous about CFS not being able to raise its 100 MUSD target a few years ago. I'm very excited for their results.
Well opportunities multiply as they are seized, which can either be a blessing or a curse. In the end, it's how much molecules you managed to move during your lifetime here, in this place, this dream. Personally I try not to move that many molecules or 'make a dent' because there are other, much more capable and better positioned people to do that for me.

Now the question becomes: are those impactful actions benevolent moving of molecules or malevolent? Generally I'm seeing it as malevolent with things like climate change and dropping bombs on innocent people who become another statistic or 'collateral damage'.

Yes there is a lot of good in the world, and I probably have 'mean world syndrome'[0], but when you're exposed to the news more than ever now via the Internet, you can't help but think we're living in a very divided and malicious world.

Bluetooth would be more appropriate for that I would say.
My 3 is a 2015. Got it used in 2017 and after a few months, I loaded Android Auto on it using Mazda AIO Tweaks.

Notably, the UI was sluggish and unstable before (and after) I installed Android Auto.

With Android Auto installed, I got a good two and a half years out of moderately reliable use, but just as the pandemic started in March 2020, Android Auto got remarkably unstable. It might run OK for a few songs if I only did one thing, i.e. Pandora OR Google Maps, but doing both almost always caused a freeze within seconds, required the three button salute to reboot the system.

I thought it might be due to the phone (Pixel 3), but I tried a different phone since with the same result (OnePlus 7 Pro). I suspect something changed on the Android side, but Android 9 was six months earlier and Android 10 was six months later. The updated Android Auto design had been out for several months (summer 2019) before I started having issues. Since I haven't driven much since the pandemic started, I still haven't tried to fix it. (I suspect maybe an updated install from Mazda AIO Tweaks might help.)
This could be a reversion to the mean. Historically the arts, science and philosophy were mostly hobbies of the wealthy - either doing the work itself or sponsoring it. Not really a "money-making" activity but a hobby or clout-chasing activity.
Tangentially: love to see the Dreamcast Junkyard podcast in one of these images. The community around the Dreamcast is small but passionate, and the Junkyard is a big part of it.
It's mostly a matter of definition. Was the system in which slaveholders and segregationists lived a "racist system"? If you think racism is defined as being about individual attitudes, then the term makes little sense. And it's certainly true that we have been gradually mitigating these systems of oppression, so their consequences are not what they once were. Of course, this suggests that further progress might also be possible, should we find out that problems still exist (as with police brutality and biases in the criminal justice system). Both perspectives are valid and both should be taught for a full understanding of where we might be standing now.
I dunno, the dark forest trilogy definitely sparks interesting conversations.

But a counter example to it is that only via cooperation a tribe can become technologically advanced.

All those tribes are just tribes due to their constant squabbling and fighting, while the other that cooperated, traded and exchanged ideas ended up advancing. Wars were/are part of humans but in Europe it quickly became evident that technology and ideas > traditional warfare. Each tech eventually falling out of favour when better strategy/tech emerged.

I believe that the solution to the Feremi paradox is biology/game theory, the only way for intelligence to emerge is via evolutionary competition where intelligence is justified cost for the enormous energy requirement. And that mechanism is the local maxima where competition is wired in and drags down sufficiently large groups down.

Any successful organism/organisation will fall prey to an exploiting organism/individual due to its size, be it internal or external. Empires. countries dominant species all fall prey to exploits over time.

Getting out into space is really hard and we hardly scratched the 'surface' of space exploration. And even if we somehow managed to colonize mars and/or Europa, i think Expanse have an accurate picture of what would happen, new species of humans will develop (slowly) and will culturally diverge putting whole 'one humanity' going into space into wishful thinking category back again.
