The ideas in Web 3 are very diverse, and are frequently mixed with already established ways of thinking and doing business. People are trying to figure out what works and what doesn't. It's basically a melting pot of ideas. The best of what works will win.

"I had it bad therefore other should too"..?

Why does working in a restaurant have to suck? I've worked at plenty here in Norway during my youth, was always nice. They pay according to a collective agreement, with extra pay for evening and night work. So a pay it was possible to survive on.

Why demand that "unskilled" labor should suck? Why want to inflict that pain on others?
Looks like a great product!!! Well done.
NIST P-256 (and ECDSA in general, to some extent) is widely suspected to have been subverted by NSA, as outlined in the first link in octoberfranklin's response, page 16 of [1], and [2].

Or maybe instead assume that someone is trying to comfort and empathize with you by relating? Not everyone says the perfect thing at the perfect time, so cut people some slack who are genuinely trying to help.

I've grown to dislike the term charity, it seems to imply that there's something inferior about the beneficiary.

I believe much more strongly in mutual aid.
I see. I didn't mean to imply CC0 to be used for code in general. But for documentation that has code (reference documentation & code, getting started tutorials, etc).

Which was the usecase for MIT-0 that the previous commenter seemed to hint at.

Russia's performance was certainly underwhelming, especially their logistics and general appearance of disorganization, but weak might also be a bit of a stretch.
You can read anything you want, but you left an ignorant comment.
Fair point. I don't know if there is a better link, but the conclusion of the book is sufficiently "startling" that I wanted to get some opinion/discussion on it. If you have a better link, I'd be happy to change the url.
I hate to see this repeated argument, because it seems to indicate an unimaginative, or perhaps altruistic?, perspective regarding the future of tech's role in society.

Centralized internet is not long for this world. The Internet is being fractured, both ideologically and physically, right now, by world war.

This only gets worse before it gets better, which probably means mesh networks will be adopted soon enough. Anyway,

This is why adopting distribution of responsibilities is so important in projects like Ethereum — your offline handhelds will be able to make provable transactions without having immediate communication with every star in the constellation, so to speak.
Personally, I think “Web3” will never come. It’s got as much usability issues as the Linux desktop with no obvious draw for as to why most people should care or work on it. It’s a nebulous term that encompasses a bunch of stuff nobody wanted without the blockchain, and I’m not sure why anyone would want it with the blockchain.

Of course this could be a Hacker News Dropbox comment moment. And there’s always that quote “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.” Still, I don’t think the “metaverse” or non fungible tokens will have any long term relevance simply because nobody was asking for this crap to begin with. Like many crypto schemes, the majority of players are now in it to cash out, not because they believe in it.
I understand they've likely failed at their military goals.

But they've succeeded in pummeling Ukraine into stone age. These "unsuccessful" strikes last I heard caused just over half a trillion of damage - so far :(. Ukraine economy is anticipated to be down 40% in 2022 - and that's an optimistic estimate. And 4-5mil of their own people have already fled the country.

I think it's one thing for us to speak how "weak Russian army is" from far away. Inefficient as it may be, it still makes your day pretty lousy. And your country. And the convenient thing about authoritarian regime and culture that's enjoyed sense of martyrdom for centuries is they can bear far far greater losses than most in the west.

I don't think people around Russia are drawing the same conclusions as "Russia will think twice". A different conclusion may be "Russia Will attack a country if it really wants ti, and pummel it to rubble, consequences be damned". If I were their neighbour, I would think of Russia as pissed, not weak, right now.
Web3 is a scam - a bunch of unnecessary redundant abstractions.

Imagine your cells could pile up layers of abstract bullshit.

Molecular biology has been "optimized" by evolution to stable forms which are necessary and sufficient, and this is the big fundamental lesson.

Seriously, whenever I need to touch anything Xilinx I cry.
PetaLinux is the most useless abstraction over Yocto ever. It does one thing well: build an image exactly as Xilinx specified. As soon as you need to change the tiniest thing the whole system implodes.
And as is tradition in this sector their whole support scheme is: "sorry, didn't do it EXACTLY like we did, so no support."

If you want to make your Embedded Linux guy happy, stay far far away from anything Xilinx.

> I grew up in the middle class and everyone I knew was in the middle class (or close to it) as well. Therefore, the only time I saw status was on television.

This may be a fish out of water thing, but to many, the middle class is a higher status (hence in the middle). Many in the working class would aspire to the opportunities this person had by high school.
> The West largely got over these urges after Vietnam. Invading and bombing the shit out of countries because they voluntarily decide to align themselves with others that we don't like is no longer considered acceptable.

This is also why, paradoxically, the more atrocious the actions of the state become, the more entrenched the people become in their belief in the propaganda. Because to question the propaganda would become dangerous existentially, if it would force you to accept the terrible things you've been party to, and the dire situation you are actually in.

We've certainly seen that in Germany during WW2, when the people _wanted_ to believe that 'they were the good guys' and absolute victory was imminent, when in reality Germany was responsible for a shit-ton of unnecessary deaths and the front line was already in the next town over.
Ironically one of the direct consequences of the West's intervention in Iraq and Syria was the decimation of the Christian communities in those countries from the ensuing instability. These are some of the oldest Christian communities in the world and they have survived wars and hostile rule for more than a thousand years, but in a short few years the wars started by the supposedly Christian West were more or less able to wipe them out.

Similarly ironic was the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. As the gateway to the outside world, Nagasaki contained the earliest and most significant Christian community in Japan. Again, they have survived persecution for hundreds of years, and was flourishing after Japan opened up to the West, until they were dealt a terrible blow by the bomb (together with the other unfortunate inhabitants of the city).

So judging by the consequences of the actions, the West have not been particularly successful in acting in the best interest of Christians in the rest of the world, and protecting Christians have certainly not been a foreign policy priority for the West for a very long time, if ever.
Absolutely not.

A Jewish friend once explained a similar thing about “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.” Raised Christian, I was always taught it was broadly “do not lie,” but apparently it was more specific about not perjuring yourself in a court of law.
Cynical "both-sideism" is good for nothing.

"Loss of trust" is reductionism. Funny how most people who call about "loss of trust" somehow trust the comedic channel called Fox News. Reasonable people can trust but verify and question channels

Of course this is not one sided politically, we have people like Chomsky that make a sport of saying how the US is "the worse country in the world" while living in probably one of the few countries where such discourse would be tolerated.

While the US has several problems most people don't know how good they have in living in a democracy. A flawed one for sure, but a democracy

That's a feature, not a bug. The Soyuz are well tested and they don't explode. The last fatal accident was in 1971. Also, they changed many parts under the hood and keep the name.

They don't have a fancy vertical landing of the first stage (like the Falcom of SpaceX), but at least they have a scape capsule that saved a few crews (not like the Space Shuttle)
> Reality is what is going on in Mariupol right now.

I seem to often hear such kinds of claims repeated:
Only hardship and poverty is real, and the mundane life of people living "sheltered" lives in western countries is somehow just a bubble, artificial.

Why would that be the case?
Sure, but the point is that Linux-the-ecosystem is largely written by a bunch of people in their spare time, not infrequently for their own reasons (fun, "I want this", etc.), with fairly impressive results, and that expecting this to be on-par with a paid for-profit product with hundreds if not thousands of people working on it is kind of an unreasonable comparison.

Seeing these things as "products" where "users" have to choose from in a "free market" is already a flawed outlook. That's not what people are doing or how they're thinking.
It is illegal in Russia to be against the war. So what outcome do you expect from the polls?
It is different. The US didn’t want to annex the countries they had a war with (unless you go way in the past, but even then not full countries)

It relates to availability, not copyright. “Not secret” instead of “not copyrighted”.

So if you say “the facts are in the public domain” in BrE, that might mean that they’ve been published in a newspaper. It doesn’t mean anything about their copyright status.
Can't find any details about the "simple, 6-step procedure" itself. What are the steps!? (The paper is paywalled.)

Edit: Can't believe how difficult it was to find this [1]:

1. Identify the individual experiencing an acute stress reaction.

2. Connect with the individual by speaking their name, making eye contact, and holding their arm.

3. Offer commitment by letting them know they are not alone.

4. Verify facts with two to three simple questions to get their thinking kickstarted (“Who is your commander?” and “What unit are you in?”).

5. Establish an order of events to ground them in the present moment by stating what happened, what is happening, and what needs to happen in three simple sentences.

6. Request action of the individual to restore them to purposeful behavior.

It doesn't seem useful for civilians, especially those living alone.

I generally agree with you that there is a lot of hipocracy in the west and I hope (arguably this might be wishful thinking) that Europe sees this as a sign that if we want to be believable on a world stage we need to be more critical of wrongs happening in other places be it criticising the US, the French, the Chinese and let's not forget that the European were pretty lenient towards Putin for a long time as well).

That said there are at least two key differences between Ukraine and previous conflicts.

1. Historically conflicts in Europe are the ones who go out of hand and become world-wide conflicts. I actually believe many in the west hoped that Russia would take over Ukraine quickly, install a puppet government and things could go back to the low intensity latent conflict.
2. Ukraine was an elected democratic government which really did not do much to easily paint them as "bad" guys. That's quite a contrast to Serbia, Iraq or Afghanistan.

I'm not defending previous Western aggression, to be clear and have been highly critical of US foreign policy (as a side note one should criticise them for the behaviour in Latin America much more than the Middle East). That said it is very clear to me who the bad guys are here. A Russian student of mine said to me, "the Ukrainians are not just fighting for themselves there also fighting for us Russians to get rid of putin)

It's a bit as if the US attacked Canada after:

- Pro-China forces got into power in Canada after unconstitutional coup.

- China has started to actively train and supply Canadian military. Of course, solely for protecting Canadian sovereignty. /s

- Anti-imperialistic (read anti-US) propaganda run rampant in the country.

- Pro-US parties and media got either closed or pressured to the point of non-relevance.

- The Canadian govement has declared that it wants close economic ties with China and to join its military bloc.

- English was pressured in favor of French to protect Canadian culture.

If you think it's too unrealistic, just remember the Cuban missile crisis.
You don't have to be a neoconservative to criticise realism, just speaking for myself I wouldn't fit into the definition of one. Using expressions of particular opinions to demonstrate that people belong to a more general class is usually a bad idea.
Sometimes it's more like an amputation of an arm than a deep cut.

At first, the pain is blinding. All you feel is the pain.

If you can get the bleeding stopped, eventually the pain subsides, but things aren't ever really "normal" again. You find a new normal. You even learn how to do almost everything in your daily life with one arm. You adapt, and you may even thrive.

But every so often, something happens and you're genuinely stumped how you'll handle it with one arm. It reminds you of the loss, and in that moment, the frustration and the loss and even the pain comes back.

You'll cope with it, like you coped with learning everything else you needed to learn right after you lost your arm, but it never goes all the way away. You just get better at living with it.
I’m pretty critical of “web3” but some of these points are pretty weak:

“ Decentralization Impossible to achieve, as shown by current crypto projects centering around certain (usually large) actors;
Trust in code, not companies: the belief that a community’s smart contracts encode and enforce its rules We should all trust unknown developers why, exactly?
Always using open and transparent code Doesn't stop monopolies forming, and relies on a small pool of people capable of assessing code;”

Decentralization, hand waved to impossible. Maybe, but this seems especially worth trying.

Unknown developers aren’t trustworthy but inexplicably known developers just are despite plenty of evidence indicating nobody is worthy of actual trust.

Open source can only ever rely on a few people to review code whereas somehow enterprise code should just be blindly trusted even though it’s opaque and managed by still just a relative few people.
Bond couldn't jump, but I'm pretty sure I remember enemies doing a jump and roll thing. It's been long enough that I don't entirely trust that memory, though.
The 'hup' for me will always be associated with Quake, as I played that for a long time.

When I was a youngster in the early 90s, a grade school classmate of mine had a huge computer network at home. His dad worked for the (local) Washington, DC NBC affiliate as one of their system engineers. Their house was fully networked mecca of multiple Unix, Windows, and Apple machines on different floors.

Back then most homes didn't have a computer, and if they did, it was just one. Internet connections were achieved with dial-up modems to the local BBS or service provider. Almost nobody my age was playing computer games, only people working in industry. Even fewer had a network, since online play didn't exist for most games (tho there were exceptions, like Netrek...miss that game too)

I originally learned the command line by using it to start computer games. This guy had basically ALL of the major gaming titles through about 1997, at which point I bought my own computer. Many of the other shooters back then were horror-themed knockoffs of Doom and Quake (like Hexen, Heretic, etc.), though all had their nuances. What I think of as the golden age of FPS games happened shortly after, in 98, with the release of Half-Life and Unreal.

That early experience was how I got into computing at a time when most kids had no real exposure to computers. Still miss those times.
If I wanted nobody to see my video, I'd at least post it to Vimeo.

I've been wondering about that. What happens if people coordinate across the world to take Google to small claims court for various infractions all at the same time. Every day. For months.

What happens then? If they don't have enough legal representatives and they can't show up they lose by default in many jurisdictions, right?
I feel like this argument is in line with people who are against unions and tell employees of huge corporations "you can stand up to your employer on your own!".

The idea that even a fraction of YouTube's global audience would collectively choose to make an uncoordinated move - even over time - to something else because of YT moderation policy, is extremely unlikely, when compared to the coordinated marketing effort of YouTube to attract and retain viewers and content producers.

The coordinated side will always win here.

Other than important social issues, when has leaving things "up to the people" ever led to meaningful change?

It's hard enough when we're talking about actual issues that affect people, you think that choice of video platform on the Internet, a luxury if I've ever heard one, is going to shift because of some kind of popular movement?

I'm not 100% disagreement, but I'd love to see a little more evidence (or at least reasoning) for "The best of what works will win".

To start, here's my counter-argument: We're almost exactly 6 years from the release of bitcoin, and it's still dominant by market cap. We either nailed it the first time or the best has not (yet?) won. We're 50 years into computing and the dominant operating systems are from the same companies that dominated ~40 years ago. Did we top out on ideas then?
I don't think a nefarious explanation is necessary for this kind of thing. I think it is most likely simply that false positives on their harm/spam filters are much less annoying to the average viewer than are false negatives, and so they are tuned to avoid false negatives even if it means more false positives.
You must have never tried this with a friend. I recommend it, you will be enlightened.
I've often heard this argument being used to justify this war. Or to make anyone opposing it look hypocrite. Not saying you do this. But for me it shimmers through, so I'll repeat my common answer:

All war is bad. So this war is bad too. It is, above all, one war too many, like each war is. And therefore must be stopped no matter what. That is regardless of how many wars Europe, US, Israel, Arabia or even Polynesia have started recently. All of those were bad. All of those had to stop ASAP. Just as this one.
I remember we played Price of Persia without soundcard and one day my father came to tell me he saw the game in someone’s else computer and he could listen the steps and the junp.. we got a Sound Blaster 16 for that Christmas which came in a huge box. Bigger than a laptop today
