But this always happens. There is no culture which doesn't have a strong element of self-censorship for at least some of its members.

But equally some groups/individuals will get the benefit of the doubt, while others will be aggressively bullied and scapegoated. And some groups/individuals will aggressively claim victimhood and martyrdom while actually being comparatively privileged.

The question is more the extent to which social dynamics are influenced by dark triad morality. Cultures with very little are far less inclined to public bullying than cultures where it's foundational.
I think having a preferred iteration strategy is important. At my first job I was taught consistency consistency consistency.

The more ways you do thing the more complexity you add to the code. If you have a project with the same patterns over and over again it becomes easy to learn and easy for Juniors to contribute to.
Wouldn't most people just stick with the default?
I read that with an almost sarcastic tone. I don't think the author thinks it's confusing, they're probably mocking the immigration officers who found them confusing and chose to simply erase them.

Nowadays, it would be considered disrespectful to call a language feature "confusing" (also it would sound dumb) so I don't think that's what the author is doing.
From what I can gleam, Vine simply had no way to monetize itself (something Twitter struggles with to this day, despite being the top 3 largest platforms), while Snapchat and Instagram could capitalize on that much more quickly as they implemented vine like features into their services.

And that just spelled the death toll. Why would a creator stay on one platform when the other is paying them? Consumers bemoan the constant bombardment of ads and now data tracking, but those are the costs of business if the user isn't directly paying a subscription (something services like Patreon and Onlyfans would take advantadge off around this same time that Vine was struggling. So Vine had potentially more than one way out). And if you don't/can't, some other billion dollar coporation will happily sell their soul for the trillionth time to outcompete.
The article is light on detail (I couldn't view the video). It claims to use stem cells to create new insulin-producing cells in the host body, but what prevents these new insulin producing cells from being attacked by the immune system like the original ones were?

i used to instinctively turn on private mode every time i opened the spotify app (on desktop at least, since it was easy enough to get at)

with youtube i usually open a video in a incognito tab anytime im watching something random, otherwise it takes weeks of clicking "not interested" just to get rid of some recommendations. sad times
That's really not my argument.

I'm not talking about forcing education on anyone, and preventing them from doing things if they're uneducated.

Rather, I'm all for making education easily available. Sure, if you want to roll your own crypto or go to a Chinese restaurant without learning about those things, go ahead. I have absolutely no problem with that.

My point is that education about those (and really, any) topics shouldn't be hard to come by if you're interested.

That doesn't mean that you should have to pass a Chinese culture exam in order to be allowed in a restaurant.

But if you're curious about Chinese cuisine, it's better if you don't have to jump through hoops to learn about it, or have to visit 10000 restaurants for 10 years, so you can learn about it through "trial and error".

edit:

The specific line your first comment cited from its parent is, emphasis mine:

>> people have said "don't roll your own crypto" - but really, that's stupid. What we need is accessible information to explain cryptography to people, so they know how to make smart crypto decisions

This is what I'm replying to. Easy access doesn't mean forcing anyone to learn anything.

An intense psilocybin trip took me to the peak of it, I accepted it, and was then shown the other side, and how completely ridiculous it is. Once shown the path it still took me some time to walk it, but gradually in the 2 years that followed it faded.

I'm not saying the solution is psilocybin. I'm saying that the solution (for me anyway) is to put yourself in a position where you experience tons of social anxiety, and accepting that you are anxious, and not try and fight it, and feel it for what it is. An alternative could be public speaking training, like Toastmasters. If you keep going every week, you are destined to improve.
From themselves, via about and a link there "A Brief History of LessWrong" https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/S69ogAGXcc9EQjpcZ/a-brief-hi...

> In 2015-2016 the site underwent a steady decline of activity leading some to declare the site dead. In 2017, a team led by Oliver Habryka took over the administration and development of the site, relaunching it on an entirely new codebase later that year.

> The new project, dubbed LessWrong 2.0, was the first time LessWrong had a full-time dedicated development team behind it instead of only volunteer hours. Site activity recovered from the 2015-2016 decline and has remained at steady levels since the launch.

> The team behind LessWrong 2.0 has ambitions not limited to maintaining the original LessWrong community blog and forum. The LessWrong 2.0 team conceives of itself more broadly as an organization attempting to build community, culture, and technology which will drive intellectual progress on the world’s most pressing problems.

> Get a grip and give humans more credit.

I started doubtinng that around... 2017 or so. by 2020 is was a complete wrap and I'm 99% convinced that humans truly do need to be told that companies aren't providing a free app for their amusement, and that companies don't care about them.

On top of that, I don't see it productive to cricitize someone for charged language and then say "get a grip". That seems to betray you message. Debate the content, not the user.

probably a JS engine with guarantee through formal methods that sandbox escapes are impossible. for a JIT engine, this might mean asserting that control flow inside generated code never leaves it, and only accesses pages allocated to it. these obligations would also need to be carried through to standard library implementations.

i.e. probably secure analogously to how seL4 is provably secure. this would be infeasible for a browser, but you could actually accomplish it by running seL4 and executing the JS in an seL4 VM. you'd still have to prove everything the VM has access to is similarly secure, so still not feasible for a browser, but you could maybe make the Node.js equivalent of MSR's Ironclad.

Although at least on platforms like Reddit (and I suppose the internet as a whole) it’s possible to create your own echo chamber where your opinion that was shunned elsewhere is allowed to exist and can gather a following.

The echo chamber effect of these platforms is often called out as a bad thing, but in my opinion it may also be useful as a way of nurturing ideas that would’ve otherwise been squashed early because they’re too contrarian. The problem is, you can only find out whether an idea is good or not by exposing it to an increasingly large audience. And then I guess there’s the risk of allowing “dangerous” ideas to gain such a large following that they’re hard to stop.
I used to be really anxious and nervous until sophomore year of high school, when I had to take a marketing elective aimed towards juniors. We had to present our products via PowerPoint each week in a group. My first two presentations were terrible, so I racked up enough courage to ask my teacher on whether I could present alone next week, which he allowed.

Every week or so, I'd ask him to present my products as a single-person group in front of the class and every week I got pretty good feedback which led to getting better grades. That increased my confidence, and also became the pipeline towards learning how to reduce the amount of (pardon my language) fucks I gave about unnecessary things. (Also, trying to convince your classmates and teacher to buy a fake product every week or two works wonders for your anxiety.)

I did know how to be a team player and collaborate with other people, but the group I was usually assigned to sucked and I refused to let them affect my grade average.

I also started going to the gym that year, did nothing too serious though. I'd go after school and would either use the treadmill or pretend that I knew how to lift weights, haha. It made me feel better, and I was diagnosed with ADHD later on, so the exercise bit checks out even more.

Tl;dr: find something that you feel strongly enough for, and use that to take-off into the anxiety to less anxiety pipeline. Also, exercise. It doesn't have to be working out intensely, but even a walk around the neighborhood can make you feel better.
> supposed to mitigate human ills instead perpetuate them

May I differ. Technology was never meant to cure human ills. The
tragedy is that technology was supposed to enhance human capabilities
but instead stymied them. This is the difference between IA
(intelligence amplification) in which technology is a bicycle, and AI
(artificial intelligence) in which it is a crutch.

Why technology has its iatrogenic effect is a great question of our
time. Does it always? Or are we uniquely misusing it?

With regard to amplifying shame, it merely acts as it does to amplify
any human sentiments and ideas.

Technology giveth, and technology taketh away (Postman).
Or "Huáng" (黄) or "Ruǎn" (阮) or maybe something else, depending on what the actual surname is and where they're from. (阮 is also the Chinese character for the Vietnamese surname Nguyễn.)
Yugoslavia/Yugoslav/South Slavic is a handy name for the region and the language family. Unfortunately it's no longer a neutral name because there was a country with that name and using it might be seen as calling for reconstituting that country and in particular, uniting several nations under Serbian rule.

I think these days we're meant to use "the Balkans" and understand by context that we don't mean Greece. But it's much less precise.

That said, in this context "a town in Croatia" would have been correct, uncontroversial and more precise.
Well as we have seen, NVIDIA probably has got a killer ARM chip in the lab for release in 24 months.
It can’t be reduced like that. If anything it’s a combination of the tools for content creation (sounds, filters, duets, replies, text features etc.), the content itself, the comments system, and the algorithm. Honestly, if you’ve never use the app you have actually no idea what you’re talking about.
> I legitimately laugh my ass off

Same here. And then I read all the other comments on this post by people who don't get it, don't think it's funny, isn't getting "good" content, and I start to wonder if I'm lucky?

Except, I haven't really liked or disliked anything on the app. I'm just scrolling, flipping away videos that I don't like, staying on videos I do. Sure, there's a lot of crap, but there are just so many diamonds on there! I can easily laugh my ass off every night, because the format is just perfect for a bunch of quick visual gags.

The duet feature and the re-use song feature enable so much absolute hilarity, because of the repetition humour.

Which is why I watched a TikTok of someone putting a 3D-printed magic wand on top of a sea urchin, set to the sound of someone saying "Avadakadavra" in a really high-pitched voice, and I just fucking lost it. It's brilliant! Brilliant!
That's why some use FLOSS and others have invented the concept of public research, and that's why they are they are fought, parasitized, hindered, denaturized from the inside.

Reddit is getting / is pretty good in my opinion
> Why? Did they steal the homes? Do they evade property taxes?

In a way, yes. By being better capitalized, they are able to offer better offers on properties than individual buyers. You might say that this is working as intended, but I disagree. Housing should not be an investment vehicle.

Are they doing anything illegal? Probably not. Are they doing something that harms society at large and can lead to civil unrest? Absolutely.

> Why should you get a say in how other people chose to deploy their money?

As long as the way they spend their money has zero effect on me, they can spend it however they want. As soon as they spend it on something that affects, me damned straight I'm going to voice my opinion on how they're spending it.

You spend $10m to build a mansion in the boonies? Cool, enjoy your fancy house. You spend $10m, to buy up multiple properties in a city with a housing deficit to build a mansion? Go fuck yourself with a rusty railroad spike.
It would be really cool if you could use something like this in-process to open a "socket" that just happens to route over wireguard or another VPN.

E.g. you could easily have a bittorrent client use a certain VPN without routing all your traffic over it, or you could have a tab container in firefox use one connection, and another container another connection.
I am not sure what you're referring to but the strategy of delaying going to court is a may strategy used in US Courts. The state may have to be able to go to court within a speedy time but it doesn't stop the defendant delaying it.

Secondly, no the US protections are not stronger than the UK. The UK protections are that strong that if they don't get you to court in a certain amount of time they can't convict you. It's 6 months if you're held in custody and longer if you're on bail. It's quite common from my understand via documentaries of prison/jails that people spend a year in jail waiting for their trial and it's possible for multiple years if bailed.
The world is precariously close to returning to "might makes right". That is the recipe for world wars. Not "he cannot remain" comments.

The two world wars are in the vicinity of 100 million deaths, direct and indirect. This is why the judgement of Nuremberg was that wars of aggression, i.e. wars of conquest to expand borders and/or subjugation, are the supreme international crime. This is how the League of Nations and United Nations was formed. The reason why this particular invasion is a big deal is because it's once again (a) in Europe and (b) rolling tanks into a sovereign nation. This is perhaps worse because Russia is a party to two treaties that say Russia will not do exactly what it is doing, and to this particular country.

So we are well past the point the WW2 generation had learned was the hard stop.

We're confronting the real possibility that nukes are a better deterrent against aggressive war than the UN. And the unwinding of the UN system, which would surely extend to the NPT. And at that point it's proliferation.

In 1994 Poland insisted on joining NATO or else they were going to develop their own nuclear weapons program, because they didn't trust Russia. They weren't alone.

We might be doomed. We can't directly attack Russia out of fear of a nuclear war. We can't appease by accepting a surrender.

None. But they might have some because it's a new thing, therefore it's interestiing and fashionable to research that.

Nobody expects any symptoms from the substance humans are in contact with since our species came to be.

It's not a problem to find random garbage in our bodies. It is there because we came to be from dirt, metaphorically speaking. It's just that not all garbage is worth a grant.
Really? How do you know? I had a look at their other posts and it doesn't seem like it to me.
that would also explain why (as someone asked in a different subthread) twitter's recommended posts don't get the sort of engagement tiktok does. on twitter you're there to see discussions among people you follow, and pushing random recommendations into the stream just adds noise and clutter.
Wrong.

.NET was going to use Java, when it was still codenamed as Ext-VOS.

Nice, has this been implemented by any of the major WiFi or firewall vendors? I see the authors have Apple and Google contact info, so fair to assume this will be baked into smartphone operating systems, but when?

I see 1 forum post on appple developers forum describing it as broken in IOS14. I see 1 forum post describing it as broken in Mikrotik version. I get no google search hits when combining the RFC number with the words "Cisco" or "Aruba"

Are you sure about the nRF51? It doesn't have dedicated PWM but as I recall you can connect the timer peripheral to the GPIOs so it's still all done in hardware. Maybe that was not worth the software effort though.

C# and .Net was for a very long time a Windows only thing, they were created to fight against Java so Microsoft can keep selling Windows licenses.

IMO this Microsoft stupidity to not open source .Net and FUD the open source alternatives costed them and the entire dev community a lot, we would have a good alternative for cross platform high level languages with a big framework (as alternative to JS+node+electron+npm+framewoks)

That "change for the better" made it unusable for the main thing people used it for.
I have been using Tiktok for the last 2 months. I have also posted some videos of myself talking alone about various subjects. My last serie of videos were about "what I like and what I hate about tiktok".
I have even gained some "followers" (around 1200) so I can use the live streaming function of Tiktok (one needs to have more than 1k subscribers to unlock this function). But the more I am using Tiktok the more I am considering leaving this platform!
Yes there are some really funny/creative videos that's about 4% or 5% of what I can see and that's pretty much the only reason why I keep browsing Tiktok. But the rest of the content is in my opinion really dumb. Maybe the algorithm got me wrong, but what I see is basically people trying to copy each other with more or less talent again and again, or some accounts posting stolen bits of videos or even movies. That's all. I should mention that most of the content I am watching on Tiktok is in French and I believe made in France maybe US content is more interesting I can't comment on that.

I have had some good laugh watching some tiktok but I haven't learnt anything interesting or meaningful and I don't understand how people claim they learn stuff on this platform since the maximum length of a video is 3 minutes. I personally need more time to warp my head around something. I am a slow learner.
I also find there are too much restriction to really enjoy this platform. One example is the 150 characters limit in the comment section. This is really annoying both for people who post content and for people who only watch videos.

I understand Tiktok can be interesting and addictive for a moment , but after a while it become too much repetitive and annoying.
We ran NT on something quite similar to the article, hosting a large Lotus Notes(!) database which ran a Hotmail-like public email service. Unfortunately the system was rented. So when we rewrote the service and moved it off to Linux machines costing a tiny fraction of the price, the beefy 3 core Alpha was returned, rather than letting me install Linux on it to see how it could really perform :-/
> In a way, yes. By being better capitalized, they are able to offer better offers on properties than individual buyers.

So, paying more than other buyers is in a way stealing?

Again, same source I already gave.

This source mentiones if something is smaller than some arbitraty limit there's no sense counting it because it's probably just sand not something that came from the glass ampule. Therefore small sand is common enough that it would skew their result to be something nonsensical.

You need to read between the lines because apparently nobody researched how much sand average person has in their bodies because it's not interesting.

Why don't you show me research supporing your claim that body doesn't contain sand particles in amounts at least comparable to amounts of microplastics detected?
