> The US (and the UK for that matter) are not such resilient democracies, and this worries me, just like it would have worried Popper.

I agree, but one way in which Germany's democracy differs from America's (and Britain's) is its use of proportional representation (whereas both the US and the UK make extensive use of the decidedly non-proportional First Past the Post). I consider this among the strengths of German democracy, but Popper didn't:

> proportional representation confers, even if only indirectly, a constitutional status on political parties which they would otherwise not attain. For I can no longer choose a person whom I trust to represent me: I can choose only a party.
https://www.economist.com/democracy-in-america/2016/01/31/fr...

However, Popper use the term "proportional representation" to apply only to closed list proportional representation. I wonder whether even Popper's assessment of that form of proportional representation is still plausible, in light of the increasingly obvious weakness of democracies that use "majoritarian" voting systems compared to democracies using proportional representation (closed list or not).

I don't suppose Germany's relatively healthy democracy is solely due to its use of proportional representation, but it does share many other constitutional virtues (such as federalism, republicanism, bicameralism and a codified constitution) with the United States, so those can't account for differences between the two countries.
This is even the case with Italian immigrants in Berlin! So I’ll for sure treat this as Italian or Mediterranean rather than a European attribute.

For one-off pieces with 2.54 or bigger spacing there is always the handmade old school tech - drawing the traces on copper laminate with marker pen, drilling holes yourself and etching the board in ferric chloride.
There is also a good old method using photo transfers and a laser printer if you not feeling like drawing it by hand. Still need to drill the holes yourself.
You can re-use ferric chloride for many boards.

You dial a number that is +1 and looks like a normal 10 digit phone number.... and bam, you're paying $3/minute to call Canada (back when everyone charged more for Canada) or Bermuda that is still expensive I think on every carrier.

Everyone could use 10 digit dialing and have their own country codes still... it's silly that 19 countries are sitting behind +1 and that they might have a significant surcharge to call.

Arguably you have 4 camps.

1. Developers with a wide range of understanding of UI from negligible to acceptable.

2. UI experts who actually understand code.

3. UI "experts" in industry whose only skills are image editors.

4. Academics who did said research.

Seems like the entire problem is the ascendancy of Camp 3 which decision makers who being ignorant of technical matters themselves can't tell from camp 2.

Meanwhile everyone is ignoring camp 4.
This whole discussion starts from your response to a comment that "[t]okens _are_ worthless if no one wants to buy them", asserting that this was "[f]undamentally not true".

One thing i've found as an avid gamer is the lack of "humanity" in modern games. Modern high budget games are streamlined, risk averse, and predictable.

If you look at older games you'll often find the creator's / developer's quirks and mannerisms have seeped through showing mild biases, prejudice, stereotypes, etc (humanity). The freedom to express yourself in your work, resulted in people becoming emotionally invested in the product. This investment likely meant they spend many additional hours if not directly working on the product, than thinking about it resulting in a faster shipping date or a higher quality product in the same timespan.

N2: Alternative Ninja Implementation
First, I was addressing design in FOSS because:

a) there probably aren't many lead designers, creative directors and art directors on this developer-centric site
b) interface choices for most commercial products are deliberately made by other people
c) interface choices for most FOSS projects are made by developers

Second, I didn't directly address the criticism for the same reason I don't go into game forums and argue with the inevitable teen tech wizard lobbing glib, unsubstantiated technical criticism at the "stupid devs." Their peers might believe their saying that a "microservices architecture" caused low frame rates in the last release, but professional developers will roll their eyes hard enough to sprain an eyelid.

I won't waste my time with a point-by-point teardown, but if you're actually interested, here's the first half dozen unsubstantiated assumptions I've seen here about design/designers and the design process:

- 'Flat designs' are uniform enough to judge their value as a unit.
- A bad flat design was bad because it was flat— not the hundreds of other problems a design can have.
- Designers change things solely to suit their taste or follow trends
- Designers don't commonly test or measure usability with quantifiable, auditable data
- Bad usability is acceptable if it looks good.
- How well you parse something is representative of how everybody else does regardless of their culture, age, experience with other objects, experience with computers, vision, disabilities, etc.
- Skeuomorphism was the most effective form to convey those visual cues.

aaaand the list goes on. It's fine that many developers don't totally understand how design works because nobody expects you to be a subject matter expert in anything other than development. That said, confidently making sweeping judgements about design and designers when you don't understand some important fundamentals is just bad form.

I'm not sure if you're just picky or discerning but it seems you can find a reason to exclude anything if all you do is look for reasons to exclude.

Why not just use SQLite with streaming replication? It should fit your bill.

Databases rarely have what you would define as real open source with real contributors because the nature of a database means you need one owner and that owner has to be picky and exclude things. Allowing the wrong commit into MariaDB could introduce regressions that no one even could imagine because the complexity of things.

Even when a database starts out the way you describe with good intentions in order for it to become a widely adopted product it has to be pulled in under a single umbrella to direct it and build it toward its vision. This puts it firmly in your fake open source camp.

People downplay such training, but imagine the environment without it. Imagine if nobody officially talked about corrupt practices: it would create a very dark place for such things to occur, nobody would know what the rules are or what to do, and especially the silence would speak very loudly.

Edit: By training everyone, not just the people directly involved with such situations, anyone considering corrupt acts will know that everyone - from the tech support person who helps them send the corrupt message to the receptionist who takes the corrupt call to the finance underling who mails the check - everyone will recognize it. There is no talking the rube into helping them; there are eyes everywhere, all the time.
Great thread, thanks all for the passion for this important topic. Just to clarify; we go from 7-10kg CO2 positive for traditional methods, to 5 kg negative pr m2 in two steps; Step one is we reduce emissions from value chain; incl. transport, & extraction when our Crusher recycles the road, which takes us to just above 1kg pr m2 (massive savings already from the traditional method). The remaining ca -6 kg is the effect of lignin - turning the calculation towards negative - and here debated in the thread with different opinions.
Yes, this has always been the case. The root CA is embedded in the Keybase client: https://github.com/keybase/client/blob/master/go/libkb/ca.go

For starters, false positives are an inherent part of medical diagnosis. Interpretation and diagnosis is probabilistic based on ROC curves balancing different sensitivities and specificities balanced with disease prevalence as well as the significance of missed/delayed diagnosis.

I totally get this and it's technical terminology.

I think my takeaway from trying to explain why this isn't a big deal on this thread is that calling a tomo or mammo "positive" is just a recipe for confusion.

I understand why it's done this way historically, but the idea of a mammo or tomo being "positive for cancer" makes no sense since there will almost always be either an ultrasound a biopsy or something else before a diagnosis is made. It's a test for whether a more invasive/expensive test is worth it, not a test for cancer.

Curious what your opinion is on AI for DBT? I think there is great long term potential here, even more so than the potential that we have seen so far in mammo (such as https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-019-1799-6), because it's easier for AI to thoroughly look at things in 3d and spot new patterns that are not obvious to human eyes.
i couldn't correct it before: the gist is that reversing or stopping climate change looks improbable due to lack of global organization or desire between countries. One of the biggest unsolvable long term problems is rising sea levels, a sollution could be moving that ice/water outside of the planet(generating possible economic output)?

Certainly not within the constraints of Football.

The Linebacker's entire focus is going to be on pushing against the other linemen once the play starts. The linemen are not going to know what's going on over there, their eyes are literally not looking at what everyone else is doing. (Well, a decent lineman can sometimes snatch the football if a quarterback throws it too low over their heads. But... linemen definitely don't have their eyes on much of the game)

The fact that you only have two eyes leads to the constraints that is the game of football. Skilled players keep watch over other players: where they are looking and how they are moving.

The "hidden information" is literally their eyes themselves. You can't see things that are behind you. That's how you sack a quarterback: you run at them from an angle that they're not looking. That's why trick plays work, because you have an expectation for how those people will move... except they moved in a way you didn't expect (and were blind to seeing, because you were doing some other job).

A good quarterback takes advantage of this: the top-tier quarterbacks can look at one player (and all the defense start focusing on that player, say the wide receiver), but then blindly throw the ball to someone else (!!!), based off of timing alone. That's why playbooks matter in the game. This isn't even a "trick play", this sort of stuff is the basics of football.

The quarterback never looked at say, his tight-end for the play. The quarterback just "trusts" that the tight-end is in the correct position. By looking at the wide-receiver, the Quarterback is obscuring his intentions and is misleading his opponents.
If anything else this makes the achievement that much more impressive. They built tools instead of just hammering out assembly. The five games in six months was just collecting on that previous effort. But knowing what tools to build and how is the real achievement.

There’s a key difference: corporate shares have a value anchored in the company’s assets and revenue. The market cap can still fluctuate, of course, because different people will have different assessments of the future profitability but the floor is going to be based on the company’s assets, contracts and sales predictions, obligations, etc.

In contrast, cryptocurrencies have no floor because there’s no inherent value to a random number and nobody has a need to pay for a specific token. If something falls out of favor, there’s no reason to expect to find a buyer at any price.

My entire family does photo albums for nearly every event/holiday/vacation. They even make multiple and give as gifts to each other. "They" as it's typically led by the women in my family and the guys pretty much stay out of it. We regularly take vacations with extended family so it's always a group of folks taking pictures and they get pooled and curated by someone at the end.

As someone that has never took photos much (for me - being a photographer ruins the moment), I do enjoy having the physical media to flip through occasionally and this way it tends to be a bookshelf or coffee table item instead of a deep archive only viewed once a decade which was my experience prior to digital.

Recently heard a great quote if woke culture is being enforced by China. The shift from meritocracy-ish to 'woke' opens the door for china to swoop in.

Consumers don't care if a movie's cast is diverse. They might care if every actor is of the same race/gender/ethnicity. Diversity is not a primary factor for purchasing for the large majority of America or the world. For example Squid games was a huge hit, even though it was not a diverse cast.

The latest iteration of 'woke' Ghost busters is a prime example of how this can spectacularly backfire.

Yes - time and degradation is key. All evidence we have as of today suggests close to none degradation of the lignin, and if/when eventually some degradation happens (yet to happen on the roads we have from 14y back), sequestration downwards in the soil, from the deep stabilized road layer we have bound with lignin. This is a very important area for us to pioneer research on going forward to get completely right, thanks for all the comments here, it will help us sharpen our efforts.

> This line of argument makes sense given that humans use ~20% of our energy running our brains, and evolution is known for cutting out energy hungry things which aren't helpful for survival. Cows don't have cooked fatty meat as a ready supply of energy, they don't need to chase prey, they don't need accurate throwing of spears or organising groups to set traps. Why would they evolve whatever you think "deep thoughts" are?

This is a logical fallacy which requires "deep thoughts" to evolve the same way we did. As mentioned, pigs are considered to be intelligent and yet you didn't choose to address pigs but instead chose cows.

> And no, it doesn't help to say "given pigs are intelligent, then pigs are intelligent".

It doesn't help to say that. That's true. It's a good thing no one said that though.

> Go on then, say that most humans are stupid therefore "humans are not intelligent". That will be a very productive line of reasoning.

It's about as productive a line of reasoning as you cherrypicking cows.
