While I agree part of that was being that there were fewer options, there's also just more complexity these days.

I consider things like:

* Does this synchronize to other devices?

* Does this support the device(s)/OS(es) I want to use it on?

* Does this integrate to other applications I use?

* Is this likely to contain malware, or could it in the future?

* Does it require me running my own infrastructure, or can I pay someone else?

* Am I comfortable with the extent I'll be locked into this ecosystem, if any?

* Is it a worthwhile cost to me? Is the price likely to radically change in the future (after I'm locked in)?

* If free, why? (Am I the product? Are there or will there be ads?)

* If open source, is it likely to stay that way? Is there a community around it? Am I capable of maintaining this if I need to?

* What new security threats does this open me up to?

Granted, I don't always care about all of these (sometimes depending on answers to others), but it's a way bigger list than I'd have had 20 years ago.
They'll be pumping neutral gas (probably N2 or argon) to purge the borehole. I would expect the ablated material to resolidify as fine particulate, which would get carried to the surface at ambient temperature and trapped in a filter.

A 20km borehole with a 10cm diameter is only ~157m3 of rock. If the dig takes four weeks (which would be unprecedentedly fast), you only need to purge ~64cm3/s, which is pretty trivial.

They'll need to do something like mix the dust into concrete. Silicate dust is a respiratory hazard. But that doesn't strike me as a significant hurdle.
There’s a big difference between calling it out in person and over the Internet. You were rightly calling out the person’s language as unacceptable. Maybe the hope was to change their behavior (unlikely, at least in the short term) or at least stand up for what you thought was right.

When this is done over a mass medium, there are many other motivations. Could be to make themselves look good within another group, attempt to cancel, etc.

It may come from similar positive/good faith motivations but easily becomes distorted.
Seen it first with Nero Burning ROM
As a community grows it attracts people who don't have the same background that drew the original members of the community together, so it becomes inevitable to see this kind of layman commentary. I've seen it happen to r/hardware which has been taken over by gamers with no CS background and AMD shareholders when it used to have a lot of knowledgable people commenting.

Trying to give it the article a more positive reading: at least for myself, I can imagine several opinions I could express in the United States which would count as "heresy". I'd imagine that if those opinions were said out loud (whether or not I really believed them) my employers would fire me, friends would unfriend me, etc.

But, I can't really think of any supporting real-world stories where that reaction wouldn't be justified. There are two that come to mind:

- Justine Sacco, the woman who was fired for tweeting a joke that she hoped she wouldn't get AIDS on her trip to Africa. I don't think the joke is necessarily indicative of some deep inner evil, but the lady was a PR exec; it does tend to indicate that she was probably dangerously incompetent at her actual job. Firing seems like the right response.

- Amy Cooper, the lady in New York who called the police on "an African American man threatening my life" in Central Park. He was a bird-watcher asking her to keep her unleashed dogs under control. Widely reported that she was fired for racism. But again, is this really a case of being fired for heresy? Or could it have perhaps just a case of the employer realizing their employee is a dishonest sack of crap? God knows what kind of havoc a person like this might wreak inside a company.

Those two are probably the most widely reported in the past few years. People here are referencing firings in academia; maybe those would give more nuance.
That's what Graham did say:

"They know they're not supposed to ban ideas per se, so they have to recast the ideas as causing "harm," which sounds like something that can be banned."
You can say that about any email service that isn't self-hosted.

The only way "out" of COVID is that everyone gets exposed regularly enough that their immunity is high enough to make the average case rather mild. You could lockdown and try to force vaccines for a century and not get rid of it.

The vaccines don't work well enough to extinct the virus, and the virus is too contagious and has too long an incubation time to make lockdowns work (and new variants seem to be evolving to become more contagious which defeats the effectiveness of masking.

You can offer people vaccines to slow spread and reduce individual risk which means health systems will be less strained when peaks come around, but forcing vaccines won't and hasn't worked. You don't live in a police state where your opinions get to be forced on everyone, and even in very controlled societies (i.e. China) they're still having the same troubles.

China is dealing with the same thing the west dealt with before, but just delayed because of their increased control.

It's time to stop pretending perfection is possible and accepting the risk of covid is unavoidable and doing what is reasonable to limit it without resorting to forcing measures on people when the long term effects of those measures tend towards zero. (delay instead of prevention).

People have developed a kind of religious zeal about this though so actually changing hearts and minds to "do the best we can respecting choices" from "it's possible to eradicate this".

> The government has every right to decide the content of the material being provided to kids in public schools.

An interesting nuance to this particular case is that it is the state government that is imposing the requirement while it is a local (city, town or county) government which hires the teachers.
I wish GitHub would allow me to specify additional emails for the activity graph, because mine looks pretty much empty because there's no way I'm going to put my email address into my commits.
We don't legally mandate it, but every discussion about Amtrak and public transit involves people insisting it should cover its own costs while ignoring the fact that the alternatives don't.
I bet it wasn’t even cold before it got wasted in a cache glitch.
As an ML engineer I found the comment insightful. I agree HN takes a critical approach to list ML but that’s largely because there’s been so much snake oil with it
I don't understand your comment, especially in relation to the OP's comment that you responding to. The West generally doesn't have a very high regard for the CCP or many of their policies. Your quote is attributable to the CCP I believe and I think more recently to Xi himself. Who do you hear that from exactly? The Chinese people lifted themselves out of poverty when the CCP abandoned some of Mao's more disastrous economic policies.
My agenda is to explain how this stuff works to stimulate intellectual curiosity. That's literally all there is to it. I've seen a number of wrong claims posted about this in the past, if you can remember any of the claims I'll address them directly and we can have a fruitful conversation about it. If you feel that examining past claims under a critical light is "trolling" and "kills fruitful conversations" then I don't know why you're even bothering to discuss this, please just let me address the claims made by the other commenter. Feel free to ignore me.
Preface: Gonna do my best to not add any commentary for or against the social aspect of decentralization / blockchains. Also gonna be high-level.

I can't help but feel distributed computation is a really really fascinating problem and if the socioeconomic wave we're going through now sustains even a fraction of this current moment it'll be a longterm engineering focus.

It's impossible for me to not recognize that the diff blockchains mirror that of different database designs as the web scaled from nineties. First read capacity was needed to support e-commerce. Followed by social platforms where read/write needed to scale and adopt distributed models and eventual consistency.

Now we're scaling distributed computation and all sorts of interesting problems emerge. If things are gonna turn out to be even remotely what an idealist might lead you to believe we're at the cusp of rearchitecting every single layer of computation. Networking. Machine code compilation and execution. File storage.

PS I did a couple of cmd+f for keywords to find someone answering with this context and didn't find any. That seems crazy.
Yeah, it had taken me 10 years of heavy R&D investments to come up with this ingenious idea that the phone can have rounded corners. /s

Sorry but the situation now it that one can not even fart without breaking some patent. It is ridiculous, serves only big corps and keeps smaller companies under constant threat of litigations they can not afford. And most of the patents are plain obvious.

I was once asked to come up with the idea of how to implement some XXX feature. It had taken me about 10 minutes to "invent" the main approach and then couple of days to spec it down to such form that it could be given to subcontractor. Upon checking however we've easily found at least 10 patents covering this exact XXX. And this is everywhere.

From a tool to compensate the inventors the patents system has become a tool to serve fat cats.

It’s a good point you make. I’m thinking of all the heterodox economists who don’t get hired - ie the throttle is applied at a different layer.

Off the top of my head, Matrix clients with full support for E2EE include:

* Element Web (via matrix-js-sdk)

* Element iOS (via matrix-ios-sdk)

* Element Android (via matrix-android-sdk2)

* ElementX iOS (via matrix-rust-sdk)

* Fluffychat (via Dart Matrix SDK)

* Fractal (via matrix-rust-sdk)

* Hydrogen (via hydrogen-sdk)

* Syphon (built into its Dart codebase)

* Thunderbird (via matrix-js-sdk)

* Cinny (via matrix-js-sdk)

* weechat-matrix (matrix-nio)

* weechat-matrix-rs (matrix-rust-sdk)

* nheko-reborn (mtxclient)

* mirage (matrix-nio)

* gomuks (gomautrix)

* ocrcc-chatbox (matrix-js-sdk)

...and a bunch of abandoned ones too, like Riot Android (matrix-android-sdk), Seaglass (matrix-ios-sdk) and Daydream (matrix-rust-sdk).

Meanwhile any Matrix client can speak E2EE if you connect it via the pantalaimon E2EE proxy (powered by matrix-nio).

In other words, the whole "almost every Matrix client out there has no support for E2EE" is really not true - there are loads of them, spanning many different platforms, built using different independent SDKs.
You mean until everyone gets it again, and again (and again).

We don't know the long terms effects of even a single infection, let alone the repeated infections we're allowing ourselves to be exposed to.
This is delightful and well-stated. I don't think a timeline is necessary, but I do think a sense of urgency "get the prototype done as cleanly and quickly as possible" is helpful. Create an exhibition of the smallest novel component. And there you have it, progress.
I think the thing Google is falsely keying in on is actualy "Everyday Angels: national Day Journal" by Linda Finstad published in late 2020. She made a Pinterest post about the March 25th page being national peacock day which is what Google picked up which someone somehow noticed resulting in the coverage.

Of course nationally peacock day isn't actually a thing, even in Canada where Linda seems to be from, so I wonder where she got the idea! She has a website with a contact form so I sent her a short backstory on how I came to be contacting her and asked if she knew where she got March 25th as national peacock day. At the very least she'll probably be amused.
I only see here lots of words and no numbers that would actually provide criticism of my plan. Even though I left an opening with the mention of strategic reserves !
Yes. It would be quite unacceptable otherwise

Eh you can be pedantic about terminology and use it to dismiss me entirely if you want, but I think you’re wrong about this: https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/top-trans-doctors-blow-the-...

Whatever the case, it’s more nuanced than you’re suggesting.

The only thing really holding me back from wanting to use iCloud mailing services is the current implementation of MFA on Apple services.

It would be fine if you were allowed to use normal MFA options, but no, that is not possible. Instead, you MUST confirm your logins via already signed in Apple-devices only. There is no other way. Cannot use phone number (for good reason, but that is besides the point), cannot have a secret key based TOTP.
I apologize for assuming you're from USA.

Emphatic agreement.

Gold standard (for US's FPTP form of voting) remains Austalian Ballot using paper ballots, cast at poll sites, tabulated on-site the moment polls close.

Future upgrades will be approval voting for executive positions and proportional representation for assemblies.

Far future upgrades will be strategic use of participatory democracy. Like BC's citizen's assembly and Oregon citizen's juries. (Not to be confused with direct democracy, like our Progressive Era processes for initiatives and referendums.)
The issue isn’t consequences for speech. Conservatives like Paul Graham are perfectly fine with consequences for certain kinds of speech (speaking out against a company in his portfolio, for instance.)

The issue under debate is what kind of speech merits what kind of consequence. The idea that there should be no consequences for speech oils only remotely believable when you are a member of the white, cis, wealthy class who’s lived without consequence for speech for their whole lives.
I just wish the Obsidian sync features were better. I often end up with two copies of the same note when switching between devices.
Bringing first-class support for it on Safari/iOS is interesting, and I'm surprised they did it. Even my mom is using it because, when it pops up, why not.

Until this, it was just a handful of privacy-conscious folks using services like AnonAddy.
They could, but they don't. Spammers cast a wide net and usually aren't concerned about the crumbs that fall through. Not to mention the people that do the plus or dot tricks are going to be extremely low value spam targets.
According to https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2200133 Omicron has 56.0% protection but: "Among the patients with reinfection, progression to severe Covid-19 occurred in one patient with the alpha variant, in two patients with the beta variant, in no patients with the delta variant, and in two patients with the omicron variant. None of the reinfections progressed to critical or fatal Covid-19. The effectiveness with respect to severe, critical, or fatal Covid-19 was estimated to be 69.4% (95% CI, −143.6 to 96.2) against the alpha variant, 88.0% (95% CI, 50.7 to 97.1) against the beta variant, 100% (95% CI, 43.3 to 100) against the delta variant, and 87.8% (95% CI, 47.5 to 97.1) against the omicron variant."

So for the metric that matters (deaths), Omicron is no different.
We have not come to that consensus and large language models display really interesting capabilities like few shot learning, which before we thought would require a widely different architecture

Here is the actual text of the Florida law in question:

https://www.flsenate.gov/Session/Bill/2022/1557/BillText/er/...

It says nothing whatever about "banning people from talking about certain things". It says (pp. 4-5):

"3. Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards."

In other words, it's the government making clear what the standards for "classroom instruction" are in schools run by the government. Exactly the same as the government has always done for schools run by the government. Teachers in public schools are always required to conduct their classroom instruction in accordance with the rules that the government sets down.

Now, let's consider a couple of examples. Suppose a teacher of a 3rd grade class happens to mention the fact that one of the students has a gay couple as parents. Is that violating the law? Of course not. The teacher is not conducting "classroom instruction" about sexual orientation or gender identity. The teacher is just stating a fact.

But suppose the teacher says: "There should be more couples like the parents of student A." Is that violating the law? It might be. If the teacher was very careful to explicitly state that this statement was just the teacher's opinion and was not part of classroom instruction, and if no student's grade on anything depended on whether or not they agreed with the teacher, then it would not be violating the law. But if the teacher made such a statement part of classroom instruction, and gave students assignments based on it, and graded them based on whether they agreed with it, then that would be violating the law.

Note that this is no different from any other area of instruction.

What it looks like is you keep defending a shitty UX/UI by trying to justify it with inapplicable examples.

> You combine a set of available filters to make a composed filter the same way you search anything

This isn't even remotely similar to "anyone who uses a search engine, tries to find an email". Which brings us back to the original complaint, quote: "It's filters make no sense."

If you "have to combine/craft filters to create a composite filter that you then use to search", you've failed. In exactly the same ways that Jira fails at this task.
I know, it's a very common but very bizarre centering of the general concept of intolerance on China and on lib college students. States make laws denying work to people who support BDS. Announcing that you don't give a shit about whether Russia takes over Ukraine could get you fired, especially if you're ethnically Russian, but announcing that Ukraine should fight until the breath of the last Ukrainian is spent and the last blade of Ukrainian grass is burned will get you a spot on local TV news in Milwaukee, WI, USA.

The major difference is that captains of industry used to be able to almost completely dictate orthodoxy, and now in the age of the internet there are competing orthodoxies - some of which don't consider power and wealth synonymous with wisdom and genius. It also turns out that plenty of powerful people who control institutions don't care about being seen as philosopher-kings, and are happy to let their PR and HR departments deal with controversy. They will happily capitulate to all orthodoxies in order to protect the institution.

The problem is that labor rights have been overrun by freedom-of-contract at-will libertarians, so instead of people just hating you for things you've said and done, everyone also has to deal with apolitical sociopathic corporations that will excise you like a suspicious mole at the first whiff of controversy.

They do under-recognize. Not on purpose, but because corporate America is a hivemind of busyness. They are too busy to care. To navigate the corporate world, you need to vouch and promote yourself a hell of a lot more than you think.

The sad reality is that nobody is going to do that for you. You might get a great boss, a sponsor, or even a leader who gets wind of what you're doing and you get lucky. In reality though, most people do not have that and you should just create your own luck by being annoying as hell about your accomplishments. That's the easiest way to get noticed.

The other side is that you have to navigate the people who see you as a threat because of this. It's a whole different game that nobody talks about. It's the "leaders" who will throw you under the bus. It's the bosses who try to sabotage you by giving you impossible jobs. There's much more going on here that's usually explained by people's insecurity. Great leaders and bosses would encourage you to surpass them. Sadly we live in the real world where most people at this layer are narcissists and nepotists.

One of the best things you can do is to collect "wins" in a local database application. These are proven things that give you a track record when performance reviews come around and you can hold your boss accountable when they try to lie to your face.
