Ottomh, George Takei and Neil DGT have both lectured me on what a stain on American history the internment of Japanese Americans during ww2 is. Part of that included harassment of Japanese appearing businesses and people. The stain still remains to this day so I don’t say was. I think they were using it for antiTrump stuff but I took it as a general lesson.

And then bamm the whole world is in total war with Russia and your either with us or against us. Freedom fries were a deranged pro Iraq war conservative thing, no enlightened person would allow themselves to fall to such petty hate ho ho ho. People would laugh as a relic of the past stories about how my grand mother didn’t listen to German composers or buy Japanese goods and as she got older, buried anything precious to her in the backyard.

James Webb telescope say for example had/has lots of international assistance, who would want to throw those decades away to spit on Russia?

Regardless of justification, if you‘re pouring shots too big too often the bar will have to install automatic shot pourers and everyone suffers. Maybe it’s a relic of the past also but isn’t there an idealised heart at the core to open source? Hope for a better world built on trust and responsibility? We know there’s no one to sue but trust us and use libreoffice it’ll be fine.

Another anecdote: mercenaries in South Africa and Sudan on different sides drank at the same bars at night. I heard a story of a pilot on one side and a ships AA gunner on another sharing their stories with each other for many nights before they realised they’d spent days trying to kill each other. They didn’t go home afterwards either it just was what it was. Australia tells as legend how the Anzacs and Turks could play cricket over a ceasefire. After all there’s no reason we can’t be civil bites pretentious fruit

I strongly suspect methodological error until poll results are replicated with other methodologies. The results trend toward the center which seems an unlikely result in many categories which are exclusive and widely known to be 'minority' (e.g. religion and sexual orientation).
Likewise, why would you suppose that market forces are running their course?
One of my big issues with (legit) Crypto it's UX VS Decentralization.

The easiest way for the regular Joe to use crypto it's with an exchange... that it's basically, just a centralized institution making changes in a private database for when transactions are made inside the exchange.

Only if the user wants to send money to a wallet the transaction enters into the blockchain, outside of that it's like a bank... without the regulation benefits.

I think the state of Crypto right now it's in similar to what HTML journals were at the start of the internet. The reason why social media won over everyone having their blog in a distributed network, was in big part to the easy-to-use experience.

I find it a little bit hard to believe that crypto will not be centralized at the end to some extent. This motto of "crypto it's a fight of the common folks against the big guy" feels like marketing made by people who control crypto now and who want to be the "big guy" this time, rather than the democratization of the banking system.

Look, I like concepts of the tech behind it and I hope to be wrong, crypto has proven useful in some scenarios like Venezuela. But seem naive to expect that, if they don't take into account the limitations of the tech itself, everyone it's going to use wallets and private keys with all the good security practices requires and never make a mistake.
> How is this any different than what we have, just with extra steps?

It's declarative. There's no vagueness about the state of the transaction, and settlement can be cryptographically proven. This creates transparency and accountability. It's also sovereign. Not every transaction NEEDS this level of customer protection. Paying in person at a restaurant or supermarket can be done with a simple transaction.

Also, some transactions like subscriptions (which are very common) need a cancel functionality that follows strict rules: perfect for a smart contract.

And finally, even your bank won't be able to protect you in many cases.

This just means that you're asking for all businesses to end up using <the service> that will inevitably turn into a Facebook level service. But everyone will be forced to use it, so there's no choice.

Every business should have a website. But with the ever-mounting requirements it's probably safer for them not to have a website at all. There's no guarantee Shopify will fulfill all the obligations after all.

You're also right about having to comply with taxes. Those are already burdens that will stop some people in their tracks regardless whether their business idea is viable or not.

That's not even the most painful part. Full data wipe when switching between security modes is outright user-hostile, and would be widely considered as unacceptable if Microsoft or Apple did that on their general-purpose computing platforms.

Right - however it’s not as easy as “release the code.” Those Linux versions used for bring-up are typically an unupstreamable mess. They are hardware engineers, not software devs.

It’s kind of like Correlium’s M1 port over a year ago. It got Linux on the M1 within weeks of launch but the code was unusably atrocious.

Edit: Adding to that, Linux does not have a stable driver interface, and regularly changes between releases. That means that messy sloppy code that is unupstreamable will quickly be unable to move forward to future Linux versions without increasingly herculean efforts. You'll be trapped on an old kernel indefinitely if you follow that path - just like the Android situation.

Edit 2: And I'm not exaggerating that Correlium's code was sloppy. Almost none of it ended up in the Asahi Linux project. Also Corellium basically dumped that code for fun and then quickly gave up trying to keep it up to date.

Leaving aside the methodological issues, this is a general phenomenon not isolated to Americans. In my corner of the world (Vancouver, Canada) many students recently expressed outrage that, over the course of a 4 year degree, they hadn't even had a single Black instructor.

Based on the census-reported prevalence of Black individuals in the community, they would need to be significantly overrepresented in University teaching in order for most students to take courses taught by them!
Complained about elsewhere. Complaints are generally because you want more security theater.

I think they're the old masters and they want to become the new ones over a larger landscape.

They know the "limitations" of the existing model (the ways in which it is not centralized) -- as do many others -- but they want to lay a claim to some of the solution.

To do so requires twisting reality in ways that involve huge sums of money to create distortion fields.
It's not that different from any other C development. If you know C you can basically hit the ground running. Just read the sources.
I would’ve thought the two teams worked very close together and had some skill overlap, so that’s surprising
Some people are good at the discipline and self-motivation required to make this work and like the situation where you're more isolated except when you go out of your way not to be. Some people are much happier and productive in an environment where face-to-face communication can happen frequently and when unplanned, and when you can have more personal communication. Obviously it's not as simple as those 2 categories, but as some companies embrace WFH and others go back to in-person, we're going to find that people gravitate towards environments that are one or the way other and find people that are like them. I wouldn't view one as worse or caused by a "leadership / management issue".

A bulleted list, particularly in a slide presentation, is all headings, no content.

Sometimes the presenter talks about each item, giving meaningful detail while the structure is there on the screen. But it means that someone reading the slides alone misses the detail. Someone not listening carefully misses it too.

In written work, the headings are just headings. The paragraphs under the headings are the content. You can write transitions, too.
It depends on what you're looking for. For instance, if you want to know what inflation is like is for financial modeling purposes, I certainly wouldn't trust surveys to provide that figure. However, if you're political operative trying to figure out whether "inflation" is going to be an election issue or not, I'd definitely use polls. If true inflation is 3% but everyone thinks it's 20% or whatever, then dismissing it as an issue would be a massive political blunder.

> But it's impossible to get without giving Google money, and without dealing with a massive warning every time you boot

You can get rid of the warning by physically removing a write-protect screw and replacing the firmware. It's still a very user-hostile feature because it's not just a 'warning' either, but actively prompts you to wipe your existing installation. That sort of thing is very much what you'd expect in a toy, not a machine for serious use.
This isn't a very nice comment. It reads like the equivalent of someone trying to use high school bully tactics to make someone else feel bad by convincing them that if they don't stop being weird then no one will like them. No actual criticism—just straight up "look at the weirdo"-tier sniping.
CISOs face 'perfect storm' of ransomware and state-supported cybercrime
>It's interesting that you are mainly considering the experience of a hypothetical small business owner and what they would be happy to do, and not the experiences of disabled people, and what's easy for them.

The reason you think about this from the perspective of the small business owner is because if it's too overwhelming/difficult for the business then they just won't have a website at all. Then accessibility of the website doesn't matter, but everyone is worse off in this outcome.

They might put up a page for the business on Facebook, but if you're not on Facebook then tough luck. Or maybe there's no page at all and you have to go there in person to find out basic information like when the business is actually open. In these cases nobody wins. Even a broken website that's only partly usable would've been better, but that would be a liability for the business.

There’s definitely overlap once the chip is finished and the software teams start writing software for it, but in early development you’re still trying it make sure the hardware isn’t broken so it doesn’t make sense to involve XNU when you can just test with Linux.
I wonder how much of this is innumeracy rather than mis estimation. What I mean is that people may actually intuitively understand more accurate proportions, but due to lack of education they don’t understand how to convert that to percentages. That may not even be due to not understanding the math itself (ie 1/5 is 20% and 1/100 is 1%) but perhaps not linking the two concepts, so they don’t even think in terms of their intuition when asked to give a percentage. Part of the reason why I suspect this is that even the smallest groups are measured at close to 20%.

But I bet the average person knows the groups are rare or very rare, just not what 20% actually means in terms of rarity

Mix in low interest rates and you get a major property bubble. Population growth and low interest rates are the two major predictors of housing price increases.
I think it depends on the implantation. I think it is more important that your drop down is keyboard accessible.

A guy my Dad knew had a business, and the parking lot could hold about 4 cars (his, and 3 customers), all right in front of the door. He couldn't blacktop the lot, because if he did he'd have to paint a designated accessible-only parking spot, which actually would take up two spots. So he had to leave it as a gravel lot, which made it harder for wheelchair access.

It isn't that he was against accommodations, it just didn't make sense for that location where each spot was right by the door.

I don’t know what people are expecting of Google. I use it like the Yellow Pages was thirty years ago. I use it to find answers to interesting but ultimately inconsequential questions, like “when is Joe Biden’s birthday?” I crank computer error messages into it.

Google was never good for much else. Generating good content is expensive, so most of it is not on the free Web. Never has been. People are expecting it to provide buying advice, or intelligent counsel for their problems, or wisdom from experts. Google was never good for that.

All social compacts are ultimately backed with force. If you and a dozen people fucked off to SeaLand and lived in an anarchic commune, your agreements with one another would _still_ ultimately be backed by force, in the same way that everything here is: Your SeaLand commune agrees on some principles for behavior - say, no pushing other people; someone in the group decides to push other people; the group intervenes, attempts to talk the person out of pushing other people; the Pusher refuses to see reason; the group either resorts to force or abandons the commune to a pushocracy. If you want to argue the government is illegitimate, then go ahead, but to just point vaguely to "socially defined rules are backed by force" isn't really _saying_ anything without that.

This stuff. At least some of them is about proxy and postal voting. That has no relation to IDs.

The obvious reason to not “improve election security” is when that’s not the reason it’s being done. When it’s being done to attempt to suppress voter turn out.

If the end result of as many valid votes of willing voters as possible being counted while no one fraudulently gets votes.

I don’t see much difference between one candidate who loses a portion of the votes they would have gotten because of “election security” laws and provisions that were not done only to improve security.

I’ve personally not heard of people bringing up ID related voter security measures who didn’t have a partisan interest in making voting harder/lowering votes of whatever party they are against.

Is this different? Not specifically how you feel. I’m not questioning You. But the politicians who are pushing for this. Are they pushing for election integrity truly just for that reason?

The stress of living in high density areas is itself harmful to some people.

I drive less now that I work from home in the country than when I commuted in the city, though the rise of two day shipping (Amazon, best buy, Walmart, etc) contributes a lot to that as well.

On top of that, I have access to forests, rivers and a prairie preserve without having to drive, and it is fantastic. I'm not saying all 7 billion people need to live the way I do, but I'm glad the option exists and WFH helps make it possible.
