Agreed. DeepMind's AlphaFold (graph neural nets that solved protein folding according to the community's own definition) is amazing...

...But as a former academic, it also a huge warning bell on the current effective capability gap between academia and the big ~5 tech co's. The field is lucky Google liked the problem, but there isn't a satisfying reason academics didn't do it first and aren't now ahead. I keep coming to problems at the structural layers like low $ vs tech (brain drain), localized ownership incentives (small efforts), broken granting treadmill, etc.

The US gov spends so much here, and can do more, but the core seems broken. The crypto discussion in the article is fun, but the crypto aspect felt a bit of a headfake: it showed more that many scientists want a rethink, and while DAO isnt necessarily a good idea long-term (and giving little money today), it is air cover for such a rethink.
This reminds me of another reason why calling the go language just “go” was an act of supreme assholery
but do we all agree that the World history would be different if the ordinary german people would oppose the concentration camps and genocide? The ordinary russian people are IMO in the same position right now.

They. Have. To stop. Putin!
These "goals" are far from narrowly targeted towards fixing the critical issue of biased minority editorship. We don't even know what exactly might deter marginalized people from contributing. Perhaps they're turned away by all the pointless wikilawyering, in which case the most effective solution would look very different from what the WMF is proposing here.

Supporting minority media is a job for minorities, who will be far more keenly aware of what media are worth supporting and what are not. Writing down oral history is great, but is properly a job for academia, not for WMF projects (with the singular and notable exception of Wikijournal, which is a primary source of publishable research). Other listed things are similarly beside the point, e.g. as argued above wrt. Internet access.
Germany agonises over Merkel’s legacy: did she hand too much power to Putin?

Oligarchs don't run the country. They have zero control. It's like saying let's sanction Elon Musk for Iraq. The country is run by the military. Protesters are jailed for 3-5 years.

Just cut the roots and spots out. That’s why you have the little knife on the vegetable peeler. I’ve never seen a green potato in my life, I’d probably just cut all the green away, maybe that’s what happens when you don’t keep them in a dry place, like outside of a potato sack.
Technically, nothing. If you ended up with a 100% pro-Ukranian Russian government, they could immediately cease fire, and begin talks with the entire world on resuming commerce.

They may have to invent a new currency, but this would be what, the fourth Russian currency in modern times? Nothing new.
> You're better off tossing potatoes that have turned green or grown sprouts.

Jeez no wonder there is so much food waste. Peel off a green part. What's the worst that can happen "vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea", I've never heard anyone have trouble like this from potatoes, I'm sure it happens but no need to waste when people are starving.

I'll have to dig through the references, because what I really want an answer to is where the bad stuff is and how safe/risky it is to just cut out those areas while eating the rest.

IE: Take a potato that has sprouted and take samples of different distances from that sprout. It's not like the potato has a circulatory system that moves the bad stuff around.
> If legal slavery was a federal law, it would still exist today.

Perhaps if the confederacy had won, given that the confederate government did institute laws to that effect upon its member states: confederate states were not allowed to aid or abet fugitive slaves.

Confederate Statutes, Chapter 19, Section 50.

But they didn't, and the United States government explicitly abolished slavery (despite some states wanting it, and some states not) that we don't have slavery in the US, not even in the states which embrace confederacy ideals today.

And, not having slavery? That's a good thing. Thanks, US Government.

>In my opinion, different people have different formatting preferences and forcing someone to use the "wrong" one will lead to slower reading speed and the risk of overlooking errors.

Not if everybody using the language is strongly forced (as with Go), since then those with "different formatting preferences" will eventually (and soon) just get used to the enforced style.
To make it fair why not have them renounce citizenship and publicly disavow Putin or something? State their full name, former address, etc. Just to make sure they don’t support Putin and never have.
Skepticism is fine but this isn’t a symmetrical problem where you should treat the two sides equally. Their incentives and credibility aren’t the same.
Safari DP 141 actually released RTCRtpScriptTransform support 2 days ago (thanks to https://trac.webkit.org/changeset/270107/webkit/). But we're waiting eagerly for Firefox to add it in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1631263.

Hopefully by the time we've sorted out the SFU component, all the browsers will have RTCRtpScriptTransform implemented and so we'll get good cross-platform E2EE for larger calls (rather than it being limited to Chrome + Safari + Desktop)
This is a little confusing in terms of how to handle sprouted potatoes - I was always taught that they're fine if you cut off the sprouts. The fact that it says the sprouts are heavy in glycoalkaloids seems to support that. But the only thing it specifically says is to peel before cooking - even there, I'm not clear if that's specifically if they're sprouted or generally a good idea (though potatoes are served so frequently with the skin on that I have to imagine it's not necessary with fresh potatoes at least).

So what's the deal... cut the sprouts and they're fine? Cut the sprouts and peel them and they're fine?

The bit about not storing potatoes and onions together is helpful, though... I always do that. Time to go separate those.
And you can take screenshot today and use it tomorrow, too.

Long statements is one of the reason I dislike “fluent interfaces”. To me long statements feel like a problem of bad language design. And a super smart formatter feels like a crutch when what you really want is a leg.
> When was the last time the US invaded, with an intent to never, ever leave? When was the last time the US invaded, and slaughtered civilians, on purpose, just to spread terror.

I'm against war in Ukraine and against Russian dictators, but Putin doesn't want to never leave, he wants to install pro-russian government, like USA does in attacked countries. But yes, we didn't hear about slaughtering civilians in our west-centric media, only from those russian propagandists like Assange and Snowden.

> When was the last time the US jailed, not by a mistake in justice but on purpose, all who dared speak out about her actions? And killed them when possible?

Like with Snowden, Assange and journalists involved in panama papers or Epstein case (who hanged himself in constantly observed cell)?

What is different from my perspective about Russia: USA is still one of the best economies in the world, still have democratic rulers where you can change them and wants other countries to become like it (which means better than their current state). Russia just wants other countries to work for Russian might. We had anecdote in Poland, that USSR is not that bad, because it takes coal from us for free, but in exchange we build ships for them for free. So, while many Poles would not really fight that much if USA wanted to take over the country, we would (and do alredy in Ukraine) oppose Russia with all we have.

War and everything else aside, this is a remarkable sentence (as a rationale for Great Firewalling a ccTLD):

- "Even seemingly innocuous links could be hosted by someone that is less benign."

I'm afraid the future of the internet really will be a small oligarchy of walled gardens, each of which only permit mention and reference to other walled gardens, in the interest of controllability ("integrity", "security", "safety"). The independent, non-corporate internet will slowly die out in the kernel of the hyperlink matrix.
Ah well, we do have quite some Reichsbürger (think QAnon people) who indeed say, germany is still occupied.

But after Trump made the actual decision to pull out all US troops, there was rather lots of whining, because the military bases are important for the local economies ..
But at what cost? I am pretty sure that everyday Russians do know that something is going on but I have trouble justifying broad sanctions against the poor and middle-class citizens of Russia, Iran or Venezuela - especially since many of them oppose their authoritarian leaders. After all their real crime is simply losing the birth lottery by being born in an authoritarian regime.
I see people, government, corporation, media... say about "No war", say about they want peace. But their actions is actually spreading feud, tbh.

Media is manipulated by government for their politics. Some people are forcing their own viewpoint to others. People blindingly spreads hates without deeply thinking. Many users from social platforms think they know very well about politics and say like a professor when arguing with others.

Such a crazy time.
The wiz can put traps on each and every towery level!
It might be worth defining your point in more detail. Here's the spectrum as I see it with examples, from most invasive to least. I'm curious where you (and others) draw the line.

- TV / streaming ads that fully disrupt your content.

- Interstitial / popup ads that let you close them after some amount of time.

- Interstitial / popup ads that let you close them immediately.

- Banner ads that try to emulate your content. Ex: Sponsored search results that are specified as ads. Product placements in movies.

- Banner ads that clutter and introduce noise to your content but don't disrupt it directly. Ex: web banners, sports stadium billboards, highway billboards, store front signs, guidance signs ("yard sale down the block"), brand logos on products (esp. on athletes), "temporary" sale notifications.

- Subversive ads masquerading as content: UNDISCLOSED sponsored product reviews

- Ads masquerading as content: DISCLOSED sponsored product reviews

- Unintentional ads: genuine, un-incentivized product reviews. Answering your friend's question "what IDE do you use for X?".

- Indifferent and unconscious ads: your choice to use a product in public and not try to conceal that use.

Almost no one is going to argue against the first few being a net negative, and almost no one is going to argue that the last one is even worth thinking about. So where do you draw the line?

> I'd pay $2 to not own your thing specifically because I don't want more things.

You can do exactly that in many cases. Youtube Premium. Hulu tiers. I'm curious how many people nod at that quoted statement but don't actually do it. It's an easy choice for me to do it because I want to support content creators and the opportunity cost of my time is way higher than what these features cost.

Full Disclosure: My F2P multiplayer games get 75-90% of their revenue from advertisements, and most of that is interstitials. Whenever possible, I configure and experiment with close timers to find the right balance of UX and revenue. If I didn't have ads in my games, they would not feasibly exist. Unlike your home internet, most hosting providers charge per byte of data transfer.

That said, I also offer an ad removal in app purchase at a net loss to me. It's a net loss because what typically happens is players who spend the most time in the game are the ones that are significantly more likely to buy it. But the players who spend the most time in the game are also the ones who would be seeing the most ads if they didn't buy it. They are also producing the most data transfer (ie cost to me).

Bah. This is the same argument that Intelligent Design advocates put forward. It's nonsense.

The question isn't how likely it is that this specific sequence coincidentally evolved naturally to match a patented sequence, but how likely it is for any short patented or otherwise "unnatural" sequence to have evolved naturally.

Given the size of the genome and all the patented sequences in existence, it is virtually certain that some sequences will coincidentally match. You would actually have to go to a lot of deliberate effort to avoid those coincidences.

If you are against Putin, why haven't you supported Russians in 2019 when they took to streets against him? Came to our country with Molotovs? Or was it too far away from you? Everybody was just "concerned" by it and now you and me are paying the pric, because since then it's even harder for us to organize and do anything about this crazy shithead.

No, this is to affect the people. People without jobs or money have time and motivation to march to the capital to enact the needed policy changes to get the sanctions removed.
Half of them will blame the west, because, as in every country, roughly half the population believes whatever stupid authoritarian bullshit they are fed. Not much different from the West, just travel to a sundown town and ask who won the last election, or whether it's a good idea to get the 'rona vaccine.

The other half knows better, but also knows better than to talk about what they know publicly. Which is how Russia differs from the West.

NTSC just needed a different modulator; and the ZX81 used a simple transformer/bridge rectifier/smoothing capacitor brick to convert to 9v DC, with a regulator in the computer to convert down to 5v, so 60Hz wouldn't have been an issue, although the mains power connector is obviously different.

So, there's nothing special about a machine for the US market that required it to be manufactured there. Presumably it was commercially preferable to do so.

You're correct though that a US model wouldn't work in the UK without modification, and vice versa.
> Americans are in fact at this very moment preventing the US from engaging in this war in Ukraine.

The US getting more directly involved in Ukraine was never a likely outcome, for reasons that have nothing to do with American public opinion. Throughout the Cold War, both the USA and the USSR made a policy of never directly engaging in conflict on the same soil, because the risk of it escalating into a nuclear war was just too great. Instead, they would fight proxy wars where at most one country was a direct combatant, and the other country merely provided material support to an ally.

We can expect the war in Ukraine to continue following the same playbook, and for the same reason. And other NATO countries will also avoid sending their own troops into Ukraine for fear of creating a slippery slope that pulls NATO's nuclear powers into the war.
I think many would, if they can find a state who gives them papers instead. Being stateless is no fun.
To continue the analogy, the way that information flows now allows the exposure to infect everyone else. Is it the information a boil of injustice or an Ebola cough of Nazism?

I’m not arguing either way. I lean more toward keeping information uncensored, but let’s recognize that the ready ingestion of poison isn’t in the majority’s interest. And society always is willing to say “we’ll censor our taboos”, we didn’t really mean uncensored anyway.

I would like to add:
Increases range for sending and receiving communication via air.

This in addition the the already mentioned:
- greater field of sight (eye of Sauron)
- greater range of fire
- symbolic (to heaven)
- status symbol
- defense against enemy

Grammar sticklers usually fail on this point: human languages are not static, stuck in place from the time the stickler learned the rules.

The current state of a human language is defined by common usage. The purpose of a language is for people to be able to communicate ideas. Ideas exist all up and down a specificity spectrum, e.g. “regex” might mean a specific syntax or one of several syntaxes depending on context. Kind of like “kleenex” might refer to a specific brand or to the general concept of tissue.

If 99.9% of people successfully (by their own measure, not yours) communicate what they mean when they use the term “regular expression”, but you are among the 0.1% for which that interaction fails, then I would argue that the problem is your pedantry, not the term. I’m not saying this to be mean; I have similar issues.
>maybe these people have grown in better functioning democracies (unlike Russia or my own country) so they act as if the people were well represented by their governments;

I think they're mostly grown in countries doing the imposing of sanctions. If they had to suffer the consequences of sanctions imposed on them, for what their own countries did, they'd have a much different understanding.

No matter how much care I take to store Russet potatoes, or other potatoes, they always grow sprouts after a few days. I store them in a paper bag, in my laundry room where it is cold and dark (and the dryer, which I don't use often, exhausts outside).

Yet when I buy them at the grocery story, I see no sprouts.

Given the time it takes to get from the farm to the grocery store, no doubt these potatoes have been sprouting during their journey. Does the grocery store remove the sprouts before they put them out for sale?

My favourite irony with the WMF's love of funding racial justice [1] is that one thing that does not work well at all in MediaWiki is the mobile editing interface [2]. It's basically just plain text and you're expected to type in the syntax manually on a phone, and also all the links to the talk, history and other pages are hidden when editing. Guess which countries disproportionately use mobile devices and don't have as much access to actual computers.

[1] Not my emphasis: the KEF seems very much racial rather then social. Social justice that cuts across "class" lines rather than race lines seems much inherently fairer to me, since the point is to offset disadvantages, and race is a proxy of disadvantage, while "class" is almost a direct statement of how disadvantaged you are.

[2] The reading interface is quite good, though certainly could be better (hidden ToCs in articles?).
Modern TVs don't have a composite input. :)
I like automatic formatters (if they’re a deterministic function of AST to text) because I think of what I’m writing as a syntax tree, and the fact that it’s stored as text as a historical accident.

I just want to write the tokens without ever thinking about where they go on the page, periodically save and let my formatter deal with it.
