>> Hopefully people will soon see it's not the social media platforms, it's the people themselves who need to be fixed.

Same applies to drugs, smoking, gambling, drinking etc. but we recognise those things as potentially harmful and take steps to restrict them, regulate them, and make them as safe as we can (with varying degrees of success and failure obviously). Social media gets kids even earlier than most of the things I’ve listed above and the best we seem to have done is self-reporting your age to make sure you’re over 13. It’s embarrassing and I have no doubt that in 50 years we’ll be looking back at some of the people that worked on these platforms the same way we look at people who worked in the tobacco industry.
no, there are not. only in the ex-soviet states.

I'm not saying that it's finished as in there-is-no-more-math-to-discover, I'm more saying that all the math at elementary-to-high school level is pretty much finalized, and kids will probably never learn about Chris Havens, even though for what he did, he probably needed to be a bigger "genious" than eg. Archimedes. Students at math courses, sure... but they learn about many mathematicians there, and most of them are not known by the geneal public.
Good overall post but there is some conflation with machine learning. The issue with conflating the two is that, in practice, many engineers want to do ML work but few want to perform analysis work.

One additional factor for success:

Hire with the right expectations. If most of the value from the role comes from data analysis, communicate that. Often ML/data roles are hired by dangling the carrot of developing and deploying complex machine learning products. ML is sexy, a lot of managers want to manage ML projects and a lot of engineers want to work on them. In reality, most teams need someone that is good at SQL and can code a simple metric/heuristic. It’s also important to communicate to the team that shipping simple solutions and simple analysis is a great outcome. Your analysis showed that you can achieve 90% of the initial goal with a simple if/else on one metric? Great! Deploying and maintaining ML models is hard and should be a last resort. I’m saying that as someone whose entire career depends on complex machine learning models.

Right, but it does call into question whether those "posts which have been deleted from FedoraPlanet" are genuine or are defamatory nonsense. It also calls into question whether he is really intending to represent the Fedora developer community (as implied by the choice of domain name), or whether he's actually intending to harass and spread falsehood.

For instance, would he allow a post signed by prominent members of the Fedora community, describing his harassment and defamation in the Debian and Fedora channels, to be posted there? If not, then he's not acting in good faith.
Subscription fatigue.
the only long term sustainable economy is one that has a sound money where natural supply/demand laws govern it, not a central and politically motivated agenda where money can just poof be made from nowhere, people are falible and complex systems are impossible to control. Ultimately mmt is like relying on weathermen to be 100% on point. Mmt is just a boom bust cycle where debt is kicked down the road and the bubbles grow larger with a false sense of security.
I agree the "lowest hanging fruit" is likely a key factor, as well as tuttoring.

But I would also guess that being recognized as a genius was easier in past times, especially for aristocrat family members. The same way music artists will never be as huge as the Beatles or Michael Jackson once were because of the long tail effect, we now are exposed to so many bright minds, and not way to pick out an Einstein amongst them.

In other words: We might have all the geniuses we expect statistically, but when everyone is special, no one is special.
The lack of data migration may be related to recent EU lawsuits that essentially forced them to delete all data that has been collected without legal reason. I guess it's hard to impossible to separate this data from "clean" data collected outside the EU after several rounds of aggregation.

So, clean cut seems like a good idea.
Former boss told me a similar story from the first dotcom. He worked at Sun, things were looking great, a bunch of people vested and were paper millionaires. Two days later the market imploded and they were wiped out. He was one of the few who actually sold their equity straight away. Almost everyone else on his team now had a huge tax bill and nothing to pay it with. They went from thinking they were millionaires to bankrupt in less than a week.
but then, succumbing and using "tools" because the code is bad, is a sure recipe for rewarding / encouraging people to write bad code, right?

It would, if it were based in reality, perhaps. There is a great deal of harsh talk about the Russian leadership in US media, but I see little of "everything Russian". I would have no trouble finding Americans with a deep knowledge of and love for most things Russian, but who are thoroughly against the Russian policy on Ukraine etc. (I do think it wrong that Russian artists, or for that matter athletes should be asked to denounce Russian policy as a condition of employment in the EU or the US; but for example the Russians of the National Hockey League play on.)

Frankly the "persecution by Ukrainian nationals" of language, of the church, sounds to American ears as if someone were singing off the Sudetenland songsheet.

>The reason plumbers, mechanics, etc. charge so much is because they're not fully booked. They are experts who are available for you to book; you're paying for their availability. If your car breaks down, you want to book an appointment tomorrow if possible, not six months from now.

These businesses are generally booked enough that they decline a lot of potential customers. The reason they charge so much is because the nature of their business means they have orders of magnitude more capital and compliance costs than office work.

>That clause is impenetrable.

It was very obfuscated, and it was buried deep in thousands of words, but that's a big obvious red flag even if the legalese is impenetrable.

If you ever notice a paragraph like that, which begins with some words like "If, in connection with the termination of a Participant’s Employment..."

Don't sign it. Understand it, or find a lawyer who can.

The very scary part is "termination of employment", because that's something out of your control, so you must assume it could be used to take advantage of you.

This is an "IF .. THEN" statement where you have no control of the "IF" clause. So you'd best figure out the "THEN" part before agreeing to it.
what the author here calls trace down and learn up effectively sounds like the effect and feature sketches from the M Feathers book on working with legacy code.

Even in such countries one could rely on a car. Some medical things aren't covered fully or require prepayment to be reimbursed later ( e.g. dental or glasses, but we're talking a couple od hundred euros max, not tens of thousands).

There's also natural disasters or unexpected maintenance, appliances dying, roof/plumbing leaking, etc.

In general though, i think for most EU countries a few thousand euros is enough of an emergency fund, depending on circumstances of course.

Guess what: monuments for Confederate soldiers have been coming down all over the American south. There has been a great deal of resentment, but only the already unhinged refer to it as persecution of Southerners. When in the 1960s the IRA destroyed the Nelson Column in Dublin, nobody in the press referred to it as Irish persecution of the English.

It is odd, perhaps disingenuous to refer to "comments section of western press". Anyone can write anything, and many often do.
If JavaScript ever gets replaced, that will be by embracing TypeScript's gradual typing.
Docker Desktop is a VM because it allows you to run Linux containers. If it weren't a VM then you can onlu use it to run macOS containers (which don't exist thanks to the lack of necessary kernel primitives) or Windows containers.
Turning off the the camera makes sense. Its not the same as chatting face to face but it's a decent middle ground. I guess some sort of face transfer would be a step up from audio chat but it's really the mental barrier around talking to someone that makes taking the first step hard.

> I'm saying it's a reason they might consider that other people, or Americans once-upon-a-time, say dates like that.

Once upon a time yes.

So that makes it sort of a reason to think those are still possible, but equally validly it acts as a reason to say nobody does that anymore.

So overall it's entirely reasonable to ignore such ambivalent evidence/"evidence".
Most fruits, like apples and avocados, don't grow true to seed. The characteristics of the fruits of the seedlings or a tree are practically random. If your plant 10 seeds from the same apple, you'll get 10 trees with totally different apples, and most likely they will all be inedible. The chance of getting a viable apple is 1 in tens of thousands.

Another great app that can send articles to Kindle is https://hq.getmatter.app/

The Send to Kindle browser extension is great but it's not really usable on mobile.

With Matter I can add something to my queue while browsing on mobile and from Matter send it to my Kindle already parsed and ready to read.
It is more of a constant happening.
On the other hand, it is like using Flutter, JVM, iOS/macOS, Web browser without additional tooling, IDE plugins, FFI debugging issues or having to add layers of idiomatic libraries.

Many good answers here. I'd say tailscale is useful if you want an "actual" VPN - that is, a virtual network, which is private. You can have VM or rented server somewhere and use it for backups, a media library - and you can connect to it securely over tailscale VPN over 4/5G - and you can connect with your laptop on wifi etc. Maybe a backup box at a friends place, or maybe that server/vpn runs an instance of gitlab and/or a personal wiki etc.

Tailscale unfortunately uses user-space wireguard still - other than that I think it's a strict "value-add" on top of manually configuring wireguard.

The option to route traffic through an exit-node can also be useful (make your phone behave as if it connects through your corporate VPN, with the fixed IP address that your clients white-list for access, for example) - but it's not the primary usecase.

While "VPN Services" like Nord are really anonymizing internet access providers routers - and while technically using VPN-technology, they're not really enabling Virtual Private Networks in a meaningful way - it's just your computer, and their exit-node - a tiny network of two - and they don't have anything to talk about - the exit node doesn't run a web site or a service - it's just a router.
MMT is not evidence based, it is in no way factual (it is neither backed by facts, nor is it concerned with facts) - it is a conjecture about what might happen in the best of all possible worlds based on abstract arguments about perfectly spherical economies in a vacuum.

Factual is entirely off base as a descriptor and has been picked here in an attempt to make it seem grounded in reality and without challenge.

>Only personal (and verified) accounts allowed. No studios or brands.

So I think the only people who are going to be uploading to your site, as opposed to any much more popular website, would be OF creators that spam their low-quality teasers everywhere. You have to remember that this type of filtering DEMOLISHED the traffic going to PH, and they are in the same position - every single video is a sliced up teaser. Not only this, but the idea that all the actors "approving" the videos means anything on the basis of consent is not entirely accurate. Sure, it may weed out GirlsDoPorn type situations, but no matter what it will not be perfect. The only way to create a fully consensual service is to limit it to hentai only, which is targeting a different demo than what you want here.

Also, how do you plan on making any money? Scam ads are popular on these sites because they actually pay the bills, and are the advertisers willing to have content on here. And without tracking any user data, you have no way to monetize via that route. So how will you make the money necessary to keep the website alive?
How much money you ended up with in cash ? Is it as straightforward as $18m×0.019 = $342k ?
That would be more compelling if their success was more directly coupled with their technical design.

Unix is not technically incompetent (certainly given the needs of the times it was designed in), but its real success now is largely based on it already being an incombent, and being open enough for projects to work from.

Original Unix is dead, it lives on through copy-cats, and they copied it mostly because an experienced user-base makes adoption easier.

In other words, the only time Unix was primarly selected for technical reasons was very short lived. Now its technical benefits are little more relevant than the technical benefits of a qwerty keyboard.
> If they aren't old enough to not wander off, they shouldn't be playing in the street without supervision.

This has truth in it, but in my opinion the pendulum swung way too far on one side.
We live in times were the cops will bring back a kid that is found to be playing alone in a park. Or whole services cutting off 13- yo from their platform (yes I know, COPPA and everything) because they can’t be bothered and nobody blames them for that.

A lot of people have I think an ideal of kids raised in a cocoon by their parents until they’re 13 or 18, and by the magic of their age kids can now freely roam and become full member of our society overnight. That’s now how it works, or I’d say that’s a horrible way to raise future members of society.

> They shouldn't be spending that time behind a screen.

A century and half ago, I think people would tell their kids to close their books and play outside. My parents were telling me to turn of my video games and play outside. Current parents are told to shut off screens, keep their kids off the street, and “supervise” them. Or are parents all supposed to hire actual human nannies ?

As a society, do we really want kids ? I think that’s how we’re telling people to not have kids.
kbart doesn't defend the malware creator. He only made a counterargument to the statement that Russians aren't responsible for their government.
Thank you for the response. You hit the nail on most aspects that I had in my mind. I agree that whatever the solution (realistic face transfer or any other way to retain facial anonymity by turning off the camera like the other suggestion) it needs to lower the barrier of entry.
100% - I jumped right on it when they said that, did a few hours of hurried research, then discovered that it wasn't actually possible to use Firebase for what we use GA for. Figured we just had to wait until they hit feature parity so I've been checking the status of things a few times a year ever since.

...and there's been very little movement. We can still create "universal analytics" properties, we still can't do the same stuff in Firebase, and the GA4 "Measurement Protocol" is still in beta.

I think our eventual move is going to be to a non-Google product.
> facial anonymity.

Turn camera off, point it at your shadow or use some censoring/blurring software to cover your face?
You kids and their habits are largely out of your control. Between kids' media, other kids, religious indoctrination, and the majority of their time spent in school, the influence a parent has is fleeting, continually undermined, and an entire career onto itself if one is serious about raising their children and not simply letting it happen, with sporadic attention, as most do.

'A Comparison of Chat-Applications in Terms of Security and Privacy' (2019)
The "evil ads" argument doesn't even look really thought through to me. The way I look at it, there's 3 options:

1. Do everything for free. Rarely tenable.

2. Charge for things. This necessarily puts focus of business on monetization, or at the very least, it frequently pits providing and extracting value at odds.

3. Delegate monetization (a.k.a. ads). Then you can just focus on providing maximum value to your customers and money scales proportionally.

As a builder of things who's not greedy, #3 sounds like positively best option, if it's financially viable and product type makes it possible.
Unfortunately things are not that symmetrical... just as it is much easier to make a missile that can get through any given missile defense system than it was to make that defense system, it's many orders of magnitude easier/cheaper (if at all practically possible) to create stuff that causes an incurable lethal condition than it is to create an antidote. (And the root causes of it all are very likely quite fundamental and unbypassable, consequences of the 2nd law bubbling up the matter complexity chain...)

I'd advise against doing more search on these topics if you want to sleep well at night and/or if you don't think you're already on one "naughty list" or another ;)
Very cool!

Consider perhaps adding one more call, one to remove passwords. Not brute force, although that would be cool too, but just one that let's you specify the password and it makes the pdf no longer require a password.
MMT is not based on facts about the world as it is, but on conjecture, ergo it is not factual.

The old lie is that sovereign entities (note the deep and old roots of that term in feudal societies) can debase their currencies with zero consequences.

Usually this works well for a long time, until all of a sudden it doesn't.
Opinion: Bringing Facial Recognition to War Is a Bad Idea
Interesting. Last time I checked it wasn't possible to run Tailscale on Android TV (NVidia shield). With zerotier it's at least possible to sideload the APK. Not so with tailscale :(
>>In the grand scheme of things those heaters probably don't make much of a dent in the overall energy consumption (but who knows), I think we should ban them though as it really sends the wrong signal.

So instead of actually solving problems that waste the most energy, we should virtue signal instead? ban something because 'it sends the wrong message', not because it is an actual problem?
A good point brought up by Fravor and conveniently ignored by people is that when describing the incident, they saw multiple objects. Their camera pods, however, could only track one at a time.

There is a consequence for bad behavior. Ghosting is a consequence of (usually) guys taking rejection badly. Calling her a whore for not sleeping with him, fat/ugly for refusing a date, threatening to show up her door, assault her, etc.

Which country in South America has better and more stable economic prospects than the EU? A few of them have very serious structural issues, high inflation, dependency on specific economic sectors or unsustainable agriculture, and there were even defaults not that long ago.

Also, many of them have serious problems with crime. Depending on what freedom means for you, and the importance of economic stability, i don't think South America is a good idea.
