I would be in favor of legislation which allows for bans, but makes it harder to (not impossible) do so for the large companies. The EU's DMA (Digital Markets Act) defines "Gatekeepers", which is an OK definition of what could count as "large" in this context.

Large companies shouldn't be able to get away with banning people without good reason, documenting and stating that good reason, and have a reasonable and "real" appeals process, with courts being the last step of the process if needed.

Want to ban that person harassing others? Sure thing, document the harassment, clearly spell out in your account termination email that harassment was the reason (and what even constitutes harassment), offer that appeals process. Document the decision and evidence, in case an independent mediator (like a court) asks for it. Don't just vaguely point to some 70-page "Community Standards" document, and have bots auto-respond with "Denied" emails to appeals.

As the German constitution law (Grundgesetz) spells out: "Eigentum verpflichtet. Sein Gebrauch soll zugleich dem Wohle der Allgemeinheit dienen." ("Property obliges. Its use should also serve the public good."). I think that's a good approach to property.

So your main problem here is that cities (and larger cities) are more efficient than less dense places. Less energy use, easier to get around etc.

Sure it takes an hour to get to the other side of town but you have millions of people reachable in that hour. If they were all in small towns the number of people in a one our radius goes right down.

Also think carefully about why big cities are growing everywhere and villages, towns and small cities are struggling.
Strongly disagree with this sentiment, the point of hiring a professional is that there’s not a manual or a rulebook for every situation they face. You need their creative problem solving skills and good judgement.

> Building a web browser is just too damn hard, and never again would free software stand a chance.

That's what people said when I started to write an open-source DAW 22 years ago. "DAWs are just too damn hard, there'll never be an open source DAW".

Except that now there are several open source DAWs, and several proprietary ones, all created since that time.

I am very, very skeptical of claims like this. There is a reason why creating a new browser that lots of people will use is a challenge, but it's not because it's "too hard".
Yes, that is definitely a good way to represent. Instead of age group based recommendation...we simply call it Phase 3, Phase 4 etc...

"Amplification occurs because a relatively small DC control current can modify a much larger AC load current."

Doesn't the larger AC load current itself also saturate the core though, overpowering whatever the much weaker current does? Or is only DC current able to saturate it?

> why has nobody sued Google or others for this behavior?

Because there are no legal grounds for such a suit. Google is providing a service (Google Play developer accounts), and its terms of service clearly state that it can terminate any account whenever it wants. However nasty you might find this behavior in a moral sense, legally Google is perfectly within its rights to operate this way.

The only real response any developer can make to this is to not use Google Play to distribute apps. And certainly not to build a business on whose income you and your family will depend on it.

"safe" in this context is virus safe. Can have a pretty good application for places where virus transmission is an issue, as long as people like me don't feel an unease about being bombarded with UV 10 hours a day.

When I think of "Safe" for air, I also think of PM2.5 and other airborne compounds. A more permanent fix to make the air fully safe is improving building ventilation.
They did ask for my phone, but I think that's okay; it's somewhat effective at preventing spam/abuse.

> In Strangemood's case, we make a decentralized marketplace for software licenses, that's owned primarily by the sellers (ie: decentralized Steam). If Strangemood stored files on S3, then whoever owns the the AWS account is the only operator, and so the product is a traditional service, rather than an asset.

I'm a but confused here on the ownership - if its the purchaser or the seller who is in control. Filecoin isn't free so i assume one of these groups has to be footing the bill.

Wouldn't this goal be equally served by just hosting it in the sellers s3 bucket (or webserver, or torrent, etc)? Someone still has to pay for and be in control of the filecoin "instance" (probably not the right word), what's the difference between that person doing that vs running their own server.
This is great! I also found I was able to become productive with tree-sitter very quickly, even for tasks it’s not directly designed for. I wrote a (naive) type-stripping TypeScript “compiler” over a weekend using tree-sitter to identify the type annotation nodes to strip. Day 1 it performed on par with ESBuild (which admittedly is doing a lot more) for small modules. Day 2 it was close to ESBuild for a real world 10k LOC module.

This was all a spike to see how I could leverage tree-sitter for real use cases (I really do not want to build yet another TypeScript compiler, I just know the problem space well enough that it was a good starting point).

In the past week I’ve been writing a grammar for XPath. I have a bunch of compelling work related needs which could benefit from that, and maybe surprisingly no grammar for XPath already exists. It’s mostly going smoothly for a lot of my test cases (damn do I have a lot of test cases to reuse, gratefully), but I will say this has been the most challenging part of using tree-sitter so far. Not enough to deter, but worth mentioning if anyone is approaching the library from a similar perspective.

I’m mostly translating a bunch of BNF-ish grammar definitions into tree-sitter’s grammar definition DSL. It’s a good programmatic API for this, but conflict resolution is surprisingly hard to get an instinct for. And the s-expression tree representation + runtime API doesn’t give much insight into nodes which just appear as `(ERROR …stuff)` with no access to details about what caused the error (which doesn’t throw, it just silently builds an invalid tree).

None of this is meant to dissuade anyone from using tree-sitter! It’s an incredible library with a zillion applicable use cases if you’re looking for something with its capabilities. Just cautioning that developing a grammar has been one of the rough edges for me.
Thank you! It's been fairly burnout resistant so far because I've been able to switch back and forth between writing, drawing, and building a custom static generator.

>It looks like this could be pitched at 400 undergrad ""basic coms and nets"

400 level undergrad is about the level of detail I'm aiming for (eventually). I've been using one of my old undergrad networking textbooks to do sanity checks.

Here's hoping!
It looks to me like "First Class Parcels" includes Priority Mail, since there's no other category that could reasonably cover Priority Mail ("Package Services" can't since it shows much slower delivery from one side of the contiguous US to the other than is advertised).

I used to ship a ton of First-Class parcels and Priority parcels about 10 years ago, and learned that they had roughly the same delivery speed (2-3 days anywhere in the contiguous US) with First-Class just having a higher chance of delay.

As I never paid attention to letter delivery speed back then, I didn't realize that letters are much slower (except local). So seeing these maps today is informative.
I tried comparing using a 75" 4K TV to a 32" 4K monitor and the biggest issue is that you have to sit just a bit closer to the 75" TV then typical living room use would dictate which means moving furniture, etc.

A much easier trick is getting nice monitor arms that let you position your 32" 4K monitors better, it's often the monitor stand that prevents proper positioning. In my case one monitor is hovering a whole 1" back from my keyboard which would be impossible with the stock stand.

> I have and to suggest replacing php/js with haskell as the best server side tool in general is signs that someone may be living in a bubble.

Please read my comment again. I'm not saying Haskell is the best lang for webdev. I'm just saying that claiming "PHP is probably the best language for server side webdev today" is missing a lot of innovation that is very usable for webdev, and hint at bubble think.

The "best language for server side webdev today" is going to be a matter of taste either way. But when one's saying it is PHP, I immediately wonder what other languages the person has done webdev in: since PHP is not a very nice language IMHO.

> I understand you have invested time in other languages, we all have but lets focus on facts not fears of your choice of language seeming less popular.

So what are the facts that make PHP the best for webdev? I dont think it is often picked for greenfield project by highly skilled teams, when given the choice to pick any language they like. And that would be a fact I'd respect in this context.
I wish there was a comprehensive guide to implement networked physics prediction.

I remember there was a good article on the theory, especially the rewind part.
> ”Question: How often do you need more than the 50M or so LTE offers in a situation where it’s cheaper to provide it with 5G than with a wired connection?”

Here in the UK, you can get very fast 5G for significantly cheaper than a wired connection. I’m on the Vodafone network and get 300+ Mbps for £30/month. My mate just got a SIM on the Three network which gets up to 800(!) Mbps for £20(!)/month - although his has a 12 month contact.

Plus, many 5G routers are tiny and have batteries in them. I can pop mine in my backpack and have super-fast internet wherever I need it.

Fixed wire connections typically come with long contacts, they don’t move with you, they cost more and they’re less reliable. They do have lower latency however!
I get the argument.

Not everything on RT is a 100% propaganda. Maybe the low watermark is around 60% (as defined by Dr. Joseph Goebbels), and this channel accounted for the majority of the content in that 60%.

However, the world is currently at war with Nazi Russia. At war, you do not risk reviewing the enemy propaganda content. You block anything related to this propaganda, and deal with it later. Sorry. Also, you should have picked your friends better.

Disclaimer: I am Russian. I know wtf I am talking about.
Thanks! I'm gonna need that reporting feature faster than I thought.
For technical issues, I know at least one real case: my friend registered domain and created hosting, as private person, and choose automatic recurrent payment from his credit card.
All where ok for more than year.

Once, when should made another automatic payment, happens some technical error, so payment transaction where not successful, and provider immediately removed domain and site, so site disappear and domain becomes non-registered and open to anybody.

Fortunately, site/domain where not very important for him, so in a few days he discovered this, and registered same domain on other registar and recreated site from outdated backups.

As I know, many domain registars now offer special service, it named differently, but idea is the same - for very small additional cost (or even free), when domain registration end, it switched to locked for 30 days or something similar, when nobody else could buy domain and reregister it for themselves, so you will have time to fix issues if they happen.
Other registars could in such cases call you to all your contacts, and don't turn off domain for a week or more, so similarly, you have time to make payment or to fix technical issues.

> Large companies shouldn't be able to get away with banning people without good reason

Why not? I understand that a lot of people don't like this behavior, but why should it be illegal? The law is a very blunt instrument, and government is already far too intrusive into every aspect of people's lives. The fact that you see a problem does not mean the law/government can fix it.

Consider the law/government version of the old programmer's joke about regular expressions:

Some people, whenever they have a problem with behavior they don't like, think: Let's get the law/government to solve it! Now they have two problems.

You can send Google a hundred "legal demands" (whatever that means), but they have no reason or obligation to reply to any of them.

You can sue them over it, but a company of that scale handles literally hundreds of lawsuits a day. Almost all of them are frivolous, and will be dismissed.

You've said everything I could ever say about PiHKAL; it's a masterpiece. TiHKAL, published three years after the Shulgin's lab was raided by the DEA, is also a fantastic read.
Not really! If I was “blacklisted” I wouldn’t just jump to a worse bad actor. Out of the pot and right into a gigantic bonfire.
Diminishing marginal utility is certainly a thing, and I would counter argue that the longer it takes for a technology to be transformative the less likely it is actually needed by society. At a certain point in time the answers to both of your questions are going to be "no one". Do you need a 32k resolution screen? Do you need a 8.4GHz processor? Maybe, maybe not. If you keep bumping the numbers up you will eventually see an imperceptible difference in performance that won't justify the costs to build it from the oems.

The only real use case I've seen for 5G has been people live streaming themselves from a cell phone in major cities. That didn't seem possible before, but so far it's a small niche not something transformative. The only other use case I could think of was streaming live sports from people's cameras and making a digital television network out of that. However, I think you would likely get kicked out of every stadium in the US if it caught on as you would be undercutting the major source of revenue for most sports leagues.
I would urge you to take a closer look at Elon, Gates, or any other billionaire who pledges to have any goal other than "accumulate more."

For example, Elon's personal spending and the structure of his compensation. If he just wants to go to mars, why does the stock price and his share thereof matter so dang much?

Or Bill's net worth, which has curiously increased despite his mission of giving it all away.

Screwing up disaster response for non-nefarious reasons doesn't bring back the dead.

The WHO screwed up for systemic reasons that commentators, at the time and without the benefit of hindsight, were able to call out. Specifically, they repeatedly claimed there was "no evidence" for cloth masks and "no evidence" for aerosol transmission. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and the organisation meant to coordinate a global medical response should know that. Many respiratory viruses spread by aerosol transmission, and it would have been responsible to say "we do not have enough evidence to say how COVID spreads yet." Additionally, there was evidence for the efficacy of cloth masks, but the papers were studying whether cloth masks were adequate replacements for surgical masks and N95 respirators in hospital settings, and they (rightly) concluded that cloth masks weren't as effective as actual PPE, from which the WHO (wrongly) concluded that cloth masks weren't effective at all.
There's a special niche of perpetually online people who pretend to be liberals while simultaneously entertaining virtually every thought that the alt-right Russian media complex has to push. You'll know them when you see them because they inevitably end as regular guests up on Fox News' primetime shows.
Looks cool, but I found that too many monitors is more light radiation blaring into my eye sockets, and I found if causing inability to sleep normally as well as possibly affecting my vision.

I had a 75" TV but the amount of light that thing emitted hurt my eyes if I watched it too much.

I went back from 4 monitors to just two, a 32" 4k one and a 1920p one for screen sharing in meetings with people with normal size monitors. And a smaller TV :)

Sorry, does the implementation of 5G take away frequency bands from 4G and 3G?

That would mean a form of planned obsolescence, making 5G faster, by making the older tech slower.
I waffled on my response to this piece, or rather if it even deserved one.

First of all, you are not disappeared -- just by the mere fact of you being able to post this. Want to give it a go and redeem yourself? Try writing some anti-war stuff in Moscow (you can even join your role-model).

Second, you are not Edward Snowden. And your comparison to him in the latter parts of the article do not do your point any justice. You risk very little by posting this, whereas Mr. Snowden became exiled from his home country by exposing illegal surveillance and is now wanted for treason.

Third, pick better friends and maybe don't work for propaganda outlets? I'm no saint myself, and I understand sometimes you have to put food on the table. But don't claim you're innocent (no snowflake ever feels responsible in avalanche, as the saying goes). Move on, do something better and be remembered for doing good things?
I’m a free speech absolutist - i.e. I believe in the first amendment, including the idea it should protect you from corporations. If you host a public square you must allow the speech.

There’s a very simple reason for that, freedom comes at a price. The price is an open, but critical mind. It would and is easy to silence opposition, it has been done for the past few years increasingly in the US. Truly it’s been happening even longer, the internet changed that dramatically.

To those that say “it’s enemy propaganda” who’s the enemy? Those striping you of rights — no? It’s fair to argue aggressors in a conflict are an enemy as well. Both can be true.
