I think the main thing lacking on modern platforms is a quick, reliable way to verify the reputation of any given content creator.

First off, it obviously needs to be relative reputation, and not centralizedI think some sort of cross platform web of trust, where you publicly endorse some friends, some content creators, and some investigative journalists, etc. You also publicly repudiate sources of information that you don't find credible. This means that if anyone goes off the rails there's a visible trail of distrust, and that information is de-prioritized in your network.

This also has a bit of sybil resistance built in, because upvotes or downvotes of thousands of bots isn't relevant at all to your trust graph unless friend of friends actually endorse some of these bots or something. Still though, it would probably also be good to have some burnable staking mechanic. Everyone needs to put in a dollar, or 10 dollars, or something to participate (which could be removed at any time), and people who clearly violate terms of use would have their stake burned, and all of their endorsements or repudiations would be invalidated.

I feel like eventually someone is going to have to build something like this. Incentives are hard to get right, but if by some miracle it works, and the trust graph takes off, then lots of these problems just go away. Imagine something like DNS that you could just query to see how much you should trust some chunk of information. It would be a game changer.
I, too, like the separation of the office - a pretty easy commute (less than 15 minutes) and not having to worry about managing the space myself is useful for me to get into "Work Mode" - and I very much appreciate leaving and not reading my emails until I get into work next morning. And this is effectively working remotely - while in a company building I am the only member of my team on site.

This is with a large Santa Clara-based tech company, and they have competitive rates in compensation to FAANG - though that may be misleading. For example I have had a lot of experience working adjacent to people working at Apple, and it's on my list of "Never Work Here" due to the culture, expectations of time, lack of work-life balance, and all while not compensating any more for those asks. Other friends who work for some other companies on that list, however, seem a lot happier. So in my experience lumping them together is a mistake.

Previously, I worked for a British company in the US in an office with some 4 total people on my team, that I found was a near perfect setup - the main company remote and a different timezone effectively meant all communication and meetings happened in the mornings US time, allowing the majority of the day to really get into complex stuff with no interruptions. And a small team allowed for some in-person whiteboard debugging and design discussion and bouncing ideas off people, but with a small team it wasn't a constant distraction.

I found that to be my personal "Perfect Balance" - and I feel I miss that.
Many don't feel like profit seeking motive generally has issues. Profit seeking is pretty much the thing that created the modern world. It just so happens that intent doesn't matter, results matter, and "ethical" intentions in economics pretty much always end badly.

Unions are a particularly good example. The incentives in the way unions, especially major ones and/or public ones, are set up are the worst one can possibly imagine - they combine the monopolistic power of a giant corporation with incentives for fiefdom building/CYA/lack of incentives to improve of a government bureaucracy, plus the vetocratic incentives of the local NIMBYs. The practice of unions - from US auto industry, to teacher unions, to police unions - bears this out.

I usually joke that I lost all respect for them when I learned that mafia were associating with the unions... all respect for mafia, I mean ;)
I will launch a Job Board for Ukrain software devs arriving in Germany specifically, to connect them to companies open to hire them. EU is changing law to allow ukrains to get work permit easier, faster, for longer.

However, I would advise everyone to try to be a freelancer if possible. It is a LOT easier for companies to hire then, even from other countries.

It is not silly. It could be that wide spread and persistent use of herbs required a certain level of population density and people traveling far to spread the word and learn from others. That is why observing apes doing that was important since it showed that practice could be sustainable among early ancestors of humans.

Many companies, like Netflix, are suspending services because they have no way of getting paid anymore. As of this week, Russians don't have credit cards or convertible currency anymore.
I’m basing that on multiple videos from Ukrainian civilians on twitter showing tower blocks, shopping centres and parks being shelled or bombed and civilians dead, the one that struck me was repeated shelling of the side of a tower block by tanks or artillery - that was targeted and aimed at killing civilians. Very hard to fake and no real incentive to do so. Definitely only in certain cities right now but as the war spreads the atrocities will get worse in contested areas. But it’s a very hard decision to leave everything behind and travel is dangerous too.

I hope they will be ok and I’m sorry your friends are in such a horrible position.

I think Russians generally like their country because it is their home, think it should continue to exist, prefer that it be strong and not weak, and that its citizens should be secure and not insecure. No scandal, crime, or shortcoming of particular rulers has any bearing on this.

Normal people in all countries are like this.
Yes, NATO donating some training and a couple of A-10s would be an interesting move. Obviously it is never going to be that simple.
> >Government can change what those privileges are at any moment, for any reason—or no reason at all.

> No, this isn't the way government works anywhere outside of a dictatorship.

It really is. The executive branch is the most constrained in practice, but the legislative branch is relatively free to do whatever they want (spend money, create or abolish departments, set the rules, change the rules, allocate money to enforce the rules, etc. Even revise their own deliberative procedures), and the judiciary is even less constrained except that it is the other two branches that control who gets appointed as judges.

There are checks and balances, but those are pretty much always another part of government, so ultimately, anything the three branches agree on gets done. Anything.

There might be consequences including failing to get reelected for the executive and legislature, but that doesn't necessarily undo what's already been done.

The political elites of the military come from the same ranks as those for corrupt other areas of life.

Soldiers in the armed forces, in any interaction outside of it, face corruption every day: semi-official bribe lists with local police forces, bribes for administrative procedures, medical and so on.

In corrupt societies, it is hard to opt out of bribery since “market” forces balance out on the assumption that bribe giver can finance them partially through bribe taking. Cutting one leg off the trade makes it fail.

I think it’s naive to believe you can build an island of meritocracy surrounded from all sides by a corrupt system.

You form fewer of your opinions than you think. YouTube is taking responsibility for their platform, and I encourage you to show your displeasure to them.

I also encourage them to form their own opinions.

If you form your own opinions through a mediator, you will be deceived. If you form it via direct connection, you will be overwhelmed. Nothing is new or old, here. It is just difficult to have good opinions while also not letting your platform be abused.
I'd imagine it's trivial for a motivated nation state to locate the ground stations -- they definitely seem easier targets for physical attacks.
Agree. This is the kind of game that requires little thinking and I would like to play it for an hour straight.
Those percentages might translate to a higher absolute number rate for the russians though, and we dont know how fast those rates are progressing either.

I believe the ground stations are located in NATO countries so Russia better not try attacking them...

Attacking ground stations could degrade or deny service to nearby areas with the current Starlink system. But V2 will be able to route signals between satellites in space in areas where ground stations are missing, so that won't work in the future.
I would take this further, simply `import "module"` would be nicer. (I don't care about anyone's github username, and I often need to fork projects and today that means mindless search and replace)

Conflict resolution within the same module could be handled in the go.mod file:

`require alias github.com/...`
I think Go has gained enough fans that it'll survive somehow, in some form, for a long time.

> Seems like creating an environment that certain funguses like but others don't is pretty tricky, and mostly relies on giving your chosen fungus a head start unless you can maintain perfect sterility.

Yeah, all fungi like pretty much the same environment, so that's impossible but mushrooms need much more oxygen to grow. So it's important to have a lot of fresh air and a lot of humidity. Mycelium actually produces antifungal substances so it quite literally fights for domination of the substrate with others. The "trick" in any grow is to get as many flushes as possible until the mycelium gets too weak to protect itself. Keep in mind that the substrate is metabolised so it becomes less rich in nutrients over time, and mycelium is sitting in its own "piss" so to speak. So at some point it cannot fight other fungi anymore and substrate gets moldy. Even then, you usually have one type of mold winning over. It's pretty random what type of mold you'll get. I think it might be equally hard to grow one chosen type of mold as one type of mushroom...
Even as someone who has a lot of sympathy for strong backwards-compatibility guarantees, the position you have put forth here is ridiculous to the point of absurdity and is a level of backwards-compatibility that I assure you you have never once experienced from any library (including SQLite, which is generally considered to be extremely pedantic about compatibility and yet hasn't even attempted to live up to your impossible standard).
That’s also what YouTube viewers think. Not making a decision, is also making a decision. Develop your own news curation source and stop relying on a corporation to do it.

If that is too difficult, perhaps consider the challenge the news org faces.

Everyone makes bad decisions. While you are angry at YT for what they have removed, are you also praising them for each thing they did not action? If not, you are getting upset about a very small percentage. That may be valid for your own issues, but it does not make it representative

If you ever wonder why other humans don’t support your issue, and your issue is not representative, perhaps that is your answer to make more sense of things.

AFAIK, in the US it is technically illegal to transmit with a Baofeng radio in any way without a license. Even if you program it to only use the FRS/GMRS frequencies, it is not properly FCC certified as a device that is legal for use on those bands by an unlicensed operator. (For one thing, it may exceed the legal output power limit.)

With an amateur license you can use pretty much whatever equipment you want, including homemade. But then the obligation to obey the legal limits is borne by you, not the manufacturer. And Baofeng radios have a reputation for emitting lots of nasty harmonics and noise outside the desired transmission bands.

Of course, none of this should deter you from using whatever is available in an emergency. The FCC regulations include a clause allowing you to bend the rules if it is immediately necessary to do so to prevent imminent danger to life or property.
My understanding is that Mycelium mostly helps with nutrient motility, moving them across roots of the plants. Potentially increasing bioavailability.

Some Eukaryotes are also reported to my mycellial connection with the plant (i.e. merge with the plants) some sort of forest underweb sort of thing, but I think that would be very difficult to reproduce insitu. Eukaryotes are amazing but also so diverse they defy classification.

So the only time in my life I would have actually wanted a union was when I grew bored on a project I was on for a few years and coasted for 3-4 months doing minimum acceptable amount of work, before deciding I'm going to rot there and switching jobs. If only I had a union, I could have been coasting for years ;)

If starlink is to be successful, I see it pivoting to being a service provider for ISP's. Then the ISP's can apply whatever filtering or prioritization they require to meet local laws or their business requirements. But the customer would be free to move to another ISP which has different rules.
The Daily Wire says it's a $100M a year business
Qt 5.15.3 Open Source released (1 year after it being commercial only)
The whole publishing business is effectively a service of providing content created by the author to final users. And because of the uneven power of authors and publishers, the latter is able to grab almost 100% of the price paid by people. Music labels are used to pay artists after long lawsuits. These are the best cases. Scientific publishers do more: they require payments from authors too and don't pay reviewers.

In all cases, the price paid by the user is split in proportion which clearly shows that saying that "pirating" means stealing money from authors is utterly false. I have nothing against paying for books the amount really passed to authors plus some additional fair amount based on the true cost of distribution (eg. printing and transport or electronic storing and transfer) plus a modest profit. However, it is not the case nowadays.

Similarly, I would accept payments for articles in a model where the price for a good article wouldn't cover the costs of many worthless ones. The current model - subscription - is attempting to hide real costs of production of articles of very different value under average price forcing readers to purchase wholesale products. Why should one pay for "fillers" the same money as for good content?
I was wondering, how much of a percentage of visitors knows about the war and is against it?
That's certainly true about hardware companies - the cycle of product inception to release is often large enough that if you followed the "advice" here you would never actually experience the full cycle.

I work on software at a similar company - and it certainly seems to have a significantly higher "employment age" than people seem possible here - I've worked here for 4 years and still one of the "new" ones. Some of that I feel due to a good work/life balance (And decent enough pay :), and a culture I find to be pleasant (I worked with Apple employees for a while, for example, and still don't understand why people put up with the crap I saw when there's a healthy job market).

But I wonder if there's something to be said for the work itself - people have been here for ages and still doing new things - one year you may be working on texture pipelines, the next a deep dive in ray tracing. Sure, they're kinda similar, but I feel it may be more rewarding than redesigning a perfectly good UI for the 5th time, or replacing whatever javascript framework you used to use with the "New Hotness".
