The US and their obsession for freedom of speech is so weird, they can't say "fuck" on TV but are outraged that people can't fly nazi flags in Berlin's streets.

Also, depending on the metrics, the US isn't anywhere close to the top countries in term of freedom of expression, but they sure are the one boasting about it the most.

I guess the US basically having no history plays a huge role there, we'll see how it is in 500+ years

Right now, government holds corporations accountable. I think the people themselves should hold corporations accountable and stop relying on the state, which is owned by the corporations. Consumers need to be conscious of where their money is going and what causes it supports. If a person believes in trans-person's rights they probably shouldn't be eating at Chick-Fil-A. There's no faster feedback for bad corporate behavior than direct and instant consumer action. Software that addresses this need to make the consumer more knowledgeable will benefit the future most.

In all fairness to OP, Econ 101 would hold that for the price to change you'd need a supply or demand shift. So if prices got as high as they did, the prices alone wouldn't bring it back down. By 102, of course, slight (or in the current lumber market, enormous) lag in the supply chain and largely habit-driven consumers make for more bumpiness on the way to equilibrium.
Sorry to hear that you've had some bad experiences with SST. Recently we shipped some updates to fix the CPU issues with apps that have a large number of functions. The missing breakpoints I think is related as well.

That said though, we often work with teams in our Slack to get their setup working well. If you haven't, I'd recommend popping in and posting about it. Or just send me an email: jay@serverless-stack.com and we'll figure it out.
I should have mentioned it.
Indeed, that is why many times a language isn't self hosted.

It wasn't because it was lacking in capabilities, rather the authors decided they would spend resources elsewhere.

Naturally it has the side effect to reinforce the use of the languages that are already being used.

I don’t play fortnite and have no interest in it. But this always sounded weird to me. If it’s so extreme to be seen as F2P… can’t you just buy a single cosmetic outfit and call it a day?

A lot of older projects (especially statically linked Windows applications) might contain an older release of zlib which is still affected by the bug. Don't know anything about the nature of the bug, but if the corruption could be converted to memory corruption... we have a problem.

Have you played for very long? I originally got into it several years ago, a little before Moira was announced. After a while, it felt like everything devolved into samey-ness, especially when the maps stagnated.

> Any system can be abused, but they are not in "fear" of that. They generally support the idea that Nazi ideals need to be curtailed given the atrocities committed to millions of people.

Also, I think many people, Americans in particular, overestimate the ability of "market systems" (i.e. "the marketplace of ideas) to self-regulate or the desirability of the results of that self-regulation.

It's one thing to let Nazis march down the street in Illinois, where they are a small group of pariahs with no hope of power; it's quite another to let them march down a street in a place where they've had power and used it to bad ends (and can be assumed to have significant residual support).
Which is why I use a password manager, of course :)

There simply should not have to be this trade off. I know how to adjust the generator for the rules. But on my phone, that’s a fair amount of extra work and you have to know how to do it. For non-tech peers, they won’t know how to learn that, and they’ll likely not understand the trade-off well enough to do it anyways.

So we’re back at the beginning: passwords need to be secure by default — without going through any extra steps, or we need a different approach that is secure without extra work.
Why is this an issue? I'm sharing my perspective and I'm being upfront about it.

> I think this type of game needs its own genre. Fortnite, RL, GTA Online, Warzone... They all follow the same model of "build a good multiplayer experience and "support it" perpetually by squeezing as much revenue as you can from your users".

that's called "live service". In theory. A lot of games try to skip the "build a game that's actually fun and reasonably complete" part and just race to dump it on the market as soon as it's barely (or not even) playable and think they'll add content later. That's not live service, that's early access, and it's killed BFV and then BF2042 after it, Anthem, etc. EA is very very bad about this.

But yeah, when you hear a publisher say that a game is going to be a "live service", that's what it means, they want to do the fortnite model and squeeze ongoing revenue from the player base by whatever means. Sometimes it's cosmetic-only, sometimes it's not (R6: Siege), sometimes it starts one way and then becomes gameplay-affecting 6 months or 12 months down the road when they've got a player base who's attached to the game.

Of course, just like changing the game to add P2W elements after the fact, sometimes they won't. Valve basically abandoned TF2 about 5 years ago, they are still raking in money from it (it's still a top-10 game on steam...) but they won't even keep up with anti-cheat let alone continue development. Or even continue live service. No live service, only pay. And nor will they even allow the community to fix the game on their own, like Team Comtress 2...

> boomerisms

Kind of ironic, given that "boomers" lived under the 4 decades long threat of total nuclear war. Frankly, as an instance of those "age 30+ millenials", that would instill a far stronger sense of doom in me than the rather gradual, rather benign (compared to WW3 between the US and the USSR) effects of climate change.
If AGI is possible, then the described concerns about risk hold up.

Either you think AGI is impossible for some reason or you think it is possible, but the goal alignment issues don’t matter. You haven’t given any explanation for either. Maybe you think something else? I wouldn’t know because you don’t say anything.

Obviously there isn’t “hard scientific backing” since AGI doesn’t exist yet. There are still unknowns about what would be required. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible to think about what its existence could mean.

It was possible to think about the consequences of flight before airplanes existed.

I think AGI is possible because we’re surrounded by general intelligence and there’s nothing magical about brains or biology. It’s just the timeframe that’s unclear.

We already see issues with poorly optimized reward functions on a smaller scale, both in ML models (classifying based on unintended things) and in humans (drug addiction).
It’s gotta be frustrating to be a (really) rich person when taxes are discussed because, basically, they have all of the money. Can’t get much from hand-to-mouth workers, and not a huge amount from the mass of society trying to get by. Life isn’t fair or unfair - it just is. And if you’re a hard cynic, it’s better to willingly contribute than have it taken.
I’m confused about the hate towards Valve since they have created the steam marketplace where you can sell and buy in-game items, to literally address one of the main points of this article. The problem is that Rocket League isn’t using this system (I guess, I don’t play it).
This is the Mastodon model! Your instance’s admin can enforce whatever rules she desires, and ban entire remote instances for breaking them.

For instance, if my instance has a rule that “nothing related to feet may be posted on No-Feets Friday”, I might decide to block foot.celebration for being a hotbed of constant footposting regardless of the day. If you disagree with my choice, there’s a ton of other instances out there you could move to, or go get foot.party and start your own. I might block these Friday-Foot-Friendly instances as well; if enough of my users decide they want to talk with people on those instances then I might suddenly find myself with everyone leaving. If sentiments are widely split on the subject of Feet On Friday then we might end up with two groups of instances that largely don’t federate with each other over this matter.

I'll take that as a compliment, not even kidding.
> Orthodox (neoclassical) economists like Mankiw tend to be very strongly pro-corporate due to way funding flows in the profession.

This borders on conspiracy theory. I was in an econ PhD program for years (though I never quite finished the dissertation), and trust me, economists working in the neoclassical tradition do not need corporate funding to be right of center. Most academic economists aren't getting corporate funding.

And there are plenty of left-wing economists whose work is nevertheless mainstream in the sense of living within the neoclassical paradigm.

> The myth is that barter arose spontaneously throughout history and that currency arose as a more efficient means of mediating barter.

Economists mostly don't care how money arose, and 99.999% of theories in economics would be unchanged if money arose after barter, after credit and debt, or as a result of aliens implanting the idea in ancient peoples' brains.
I would really like to follow this advice and stop reading news completely. But I like talking to people and generally, news is among the most commonly discussed topics. Furthermore, it helps me evaluate if I have similar opinions to the person I'm talking to (and thus the conversation is likely to continue someday). The article doesn't mention how to fulfil this need and it seems that I would become isolated if I decided to really follow it. I agree with the assessment but I don't know how to fix the problem I've mentioned.
It seems as if you don't even know the Russian side. Which speaks to the effectiveness of the suppression of information and propaganda in the 'free world' which we unironically label ourselves. Ukraine's NATO membership is bound to be viewed as a threat by Russia. Regardless of whether you think this justifies the invasion, it can't simply be written off as 'nazism', a childish oversimplification of the issue.

(And if the above made you think I support Russia, or the war, you might be brainwashed).
Problem #1 with modern social media is pervasive recommendations. You can't just follow a bunch of people you already know and be done with it. With a few exceptions, the platform itself will incessantly try its damnest to expose you to content from outside of your network because that's what drives metrics.

People can't be harmed by seeing updates from their friends and from communities they deliberately chose to follow. It's very important that every single post you see in your feed is a direct consequence of your informed decision to follow its author.
You surely get the irony of your statement.

You might be right on all those points. If you look at interactions with the justice system it is skewed towards poorer demographics, but as you say, those are not the target of the scam as they lack the significant funds required to pay.

And in poor communities it is expected that your kids will get into trouble, sometimes even celebrated or encouraged by the parents (especially if gang membership is involved), so I can see that the middle-class or above are the ones that would be easily shamed into signing up.
This could also be a replacement for things other than openssh, like dropbear. Though golang binary size might be a barrier for that.
Whether that is a good idea or not depends on a lot of factors. Having a cost based query planner is a huge advantage most of the time. As you say data and statistics change over time. But that also means, that the optimal query plan might change over time.

Even if your extensions sets the query plan in stone, you might have severe degradation of query performance over time, because now a different plan might be optimal.

Additionally, the optimal query plan can depend on the parameter values of a query.
Sorting and Search Algorithms as Dances
This is important to me because I am currently working on an open source Distributed Consensus and Resource Planning tool, where people can build markets, supply chains, feed-back loops for goods and services that they care about in a distributed manner. Imagine an Amazon marketplace or Task Rabbit built on a open gossip protocol. You can start with your own Inventory Management, building up suppliers that you trust, and then build out your own Products and Services to offer up within your network. You follow the companies or individuals you trust, thus sidestepping ad networks, and know the providence of all of the items your purchase, and the reputation of the individuals that you support, filtering out anything that you don't want to be bothered by.

The tool is also flexible enough to be used as a collaborative tool, building organizations to accomplish tasks from your network. The value that each person brings to the table can be tracked, allowing for invisible labor to be surfaced and properly compensated.
Not very too level. I had to take that into consideration at some parts. For example, the static username_password provider calls a hasher defined in Caddy which uses `subtle.ConstantTimeCompare` function used. At other places, I don't return early (when possible) on auth failures to avoid timing attacks. That said, I'd love to know if there are places where I fell short.
So, the thesis is that China will be able to trigger a inflationary spike in the US by plunging their own economy into a recession? As a nuclear option, it could possibly work. But I will point out that China holds ~3% of US debt. And if China starts dumping US treasuries, they will be scooped up by other central banks.

As interesting as this thesis may be, this is not even remotely close to what Graeber was alluding to:

> From a longer-term perspective, China's behavior isn't puzzling at all. In fact it's quite true to form. The unique thing about the Chinese empire is that it has, since the Han dynasty at least, adopted a peculiar sort of tribute system whereby, in exchange for recognition of the Chinese emperor as world-sovereign, they have been willing to shower their client states with gifts far greater than they receive in return. The echnique seems to have been developed almost as a kind of trick when dealing with the "northern barbarians" of the steppes, who always threatened Chinese frontiers : a way to overwhelm them with such luxuries that they would become complacent, effeminate, and unwarlike. It was systematized in the " tribute trade" practiced with client states like Japan, Taiwan, Korea, and various states of Southeast Asia, and for a brief period from 1405 to 1433, it even extended to a world scale, under the famous eunuch admiral Zheng He. He led a series of seven expeditions across the Indian Ocean, his great " treasure fleet"-in dramatic contrast to the Spanish treasure fleets of a century later-carrying not only thousands of armed marines, but endless quantities of silks, porcelain, and other Chinese luxuries to present to those local rulers willing to recognize the authority of the emperor.

For me the beginning of the end was when we were all expected to write down 20 or more OKRs. The firm had (I thought) a brilliant vision but it struggled with execution. We had one real goal: product market fit, and I think adding more goals was just a distraction.

OKRs are a good fit for a company like Google that hires 150+ IQ people then destroys their productivity with Rube Goldberg tools like Kubernetes and Rube Goldberg processes like OKRs. If you are being judged on lots of little things as opposed to one big thing you are putting narcissists in charge who can cherry pick goals to make it look like they are succeeding and you fail.

Yeah—the news that Fuchsia was embracing Flutter as the main way to develop applications was when my interest in it when from very high, to middling. May as well just be web apps at that point, for how they burn resources, latency, and overall feel. I was excited by the promise of an open-source QNX-like OS with a GUI layer that's not a complete mess (like the Unix-alike open source world's is) but it seems like they're heading toward something closer to ChromeOS, which I emphatically do not want.
You're not wrong, but I always wonder why this is a reply when suggesting we charge and prosecute the bankers. To create an equivalency? To change the subject? Why?

There is no need for antivirus if you are technical literate and have a good grip on your threat assessment.

Yep. Happened with my mortgage; I only know about it because the bank actually asked for evidence to support a level of liquid assets that I never claimed to have. In my case, it wasn't really a problem as the mortgage was in line with what I knew I could afford. What was surprising, however, is that the bank offered to loan me considerably more than I could afford. I found it all very odd, but I didn't understand the meaning of it at the time. A few years later when it all blew up, I realised what had been going on. Again, I was fine as I did my own math, but I can imagine many people were sold on mortgages that they were never going to be able to afford.
