It really says a lot about what an amazing society we have created in that here we have some people making history by revolutionizing our understanding of something that was (at least in the past) considered absolutely fundamental and unique to the human condition...

...and one of the things that people find remarkable about it is that it isn't immediately and freely available to everyone on earth.
I accept different definitions of propaganda depending on the context, and indeed "propaganda" often takes a non-pejorative or non-judgmental sense in scholarly works, but I should point out that 1) this is not the most common use of the term, and 2) there were no examples in your previous comment that made it easy for me to guess that this was your working definition. The set of examples you chose in the other comment drove me to infer that you attributed nefarious intent or pejoration to the term.

By this definition however, we would have to also say that things like mathematics and physics education are propaganda.

Setting that aside, engaging with your question:

> if a turn of the century government produced flyers extolling the virtues of hand washing and simultaneously produced flyers extolling the virtues of eugenics, would one be propaganda of public health but not the other? Why?

First, I would be more inclined to question the ethics of State-sponsored pro-eugenic pamphlets (there are serious issues on the question of respect for individual autonomy when it comes to eugenics), and I would say that the State promoting hand-washing would be very much ethical.

I think the purpose of the material matters: the purpose of eugenics is... not easy to understand as an act of good faith, charitably speaking, whereas the purpose of hand-washing messaging is actually to promote individual autonomy. When individuals perform this action, they derive the most immediate benefit, and can go on to lead their life to their full potential.

Whether we qualify both or only one of the two as propaganda is a question of semantics, but either way, moral equivalence is inappropriate, and we should be clear about our working definition and whether there is a normative aspect to the discussion, or if it is purely descriptive.
People probably helped - I installed Linux for the first time back in 1994, and that was because a couple of local guys introduced me to it.

I did download slackware floppy sets, over university internet connection, a few times. But it wasn't too long until there started to be Linux magazines available, and they'd often have a CD-ROM attached with a new distribution to try out.

(I actually remember having to buy a CD-ROM for the first time somewhere around 95, because my computer didn't have one and installing with floppies was getting very old by then.)

I think this is a good observation. Events seem like something you could unbundle from Facebook into it's own social media app.

Part of the problem with a standalone event app is that you don't get the network effects of normal social networks or the daily usage.

One interesting route might be to make an entire social media app / platform around this. Not with the meeting up itself being the core component, but that "event" concept from Facebook.

I have an event coming up this weekend that I'm tracking on Facebook and would have probably forgot about otherwise. There has been a lot going on in there leading up to the event. Conversations around reservations, parking, plans, well wishes of people who can't make it.

Each event (again the software component not the meatspace counterpart) acts as it's own self contained social network almost.

One interesting thing I've actually considered before about events on Facebook is that all the best content for the event usually doesn't go in there. The pictures and discussions for after. The inside jokes and so on. With facebooks design there isn't really a good reason to go back to the event after it has passed.

If you built an app around that you might be able to approach it differently.

Just some rambling thoughts. Cool idea - good luck!
It's possible you're getting bit but not seeing the symptoms afterwards
Why is this flagged. Maybe because it is political and/or incorrect. Nevertheless the Gmail spam filter is definitely worth discussing. I have a friend who registered his surname as a domain so he does not have to use Gmail. Every email he sends from his personal email to a Gmail account goes to spam. Selecting and clicking "Not spam" has no effect. The mail keeps going to the Spam folder. AFAICT, the user's choice is being overridden. Google filters are beyond user control. That's a problem, irrespective of whether the premise here is political and/or incorrect.

Some people just find writing natural to them others have to struggle. Asimov was a famous natural writer and cranked out 430 plus books ! Not all of them are sci-fi or fiction either.

That is basically averaging 10 books a year for 43 years to get to that kind numbers . He probably wrote more during his peak years

He had to do it all of it on a typewriter, it takes more effort both physically and also mentally as there is no backspace you have think more carefully or you would have lot of corrections and retyping pages.

Of course, you cannot guarantee to intercept a target with a single plane, but that's hardly unique to the SR-71.

> The MIGs would have had to accelerate to Mach 3

Not really. In any realistic interception scenario, the 2.83 Mach safe maximum speed would be sufficient to intercept successfully. Going at Mach 3 or more would be most useful in case of emergency.

> could accelerate, climb, an|or change direction to evade the MIG.

We are assuming the SR-71 is already at maximum altitude and speed. Changing direction is a bad idea because the SR-71 turns very slowly at very high speeds, so it would have to slow down, which is counterproductive.

The MiGs were able to gain altitude around 4x as fast as the SR-71. They could get to the maximum altitude of the SR-71 and close to their maximum speed in around 10 minutes from the ground.

> the predecessor to the SR-71 did carry air to air missiles

The YF-12 never made it to initial service, it's production predecessor, the A-12, did not have armament. No version of the A-12 was ever made that could both do reconnaissance and carry weapons.

> Having intelligence as to from where and when the SR-71 was coming would probably be crucial.

Definitely. But again, you're just describing interceptions in general. Without having vectors and warning at least ten minutes (which means only 600km for the SR-71) in advance, you can't really intercept anything.

Of course, a single MiG-25 wouldn't have had the best of chances. But a pack of MiG-25s would definitely have very good chances. In actuality, SR-71s were indeed intercepted by MiG-25s in international airspace.

There are/were issues with using the rpi-imager [1] under Windows, which would result in the configuration information not being written to the memory card. They claimed to have fixed it, but it never worked for me.

Instead, I downloaded a live Linux dist, kde-neon [2], wrote that to a USB stick with rufus [3], booted my PC with that, and imaged under Linux. Only then did it work.

My parents never lied to me.
They taught me how to read and critically observe my surroundings.
They introduced me to the library and encouraged me to use it.
When they discussed controversial subjects with their peers, they did not ask me to leave the room.
They never preached or lectured to me, but often questioned my understanding.
When difficult subjects arose, they offered clear and logical discourse.
We sometimes disagreed, but they were always willing to listen and discuss.
They introduced me to new ideas and allowed me to do the same for them.

It's a great approach as long as you remember that you're reading for the benefit of your own knowledge rather than the benefit of an interviewer. One of the supposed benefits of a degree (leave aside grade inflation etc. that undermine the benefit in the real world) is that you can put a degree on your resume but not all the books you've read for personal and professional enrichment.

It's a real problem.

I've got a friend who went through the Code Fellows program last year. They advertise 93% job placement within six months. Based on conversations we had through his program, it seems like they're generally teaching a well-rounded set of skills, though tbf it's still a bootcamp, not a full CS degree.

Six months later, only 2 out of the 10 members of his cohort have gotten software jobs. He's still applying, but he's getting very few interviews and so far no offers.

I feel like you are approaching this from the wrong direction, a sort-of solution looking for a problem perspective.

So perhaps roll back a bit - what are you hoping to get out of these open source projects? What does the company hope to get out of them? (those are likely different.)

More generally, what does the company want out if this code?

only by determining the goals can one even understand how you might align them.

All software projects need love and attention to grow and change. But companies usually see software as a tool, not an ideallogy. We have lots of internal software that is 10 or 20 years old. It performs a task every day. It does the job it was designed to do. It gets zero attention, just like the toaster in the kitchen. We don't have someone fiddling with the toaster everyday either.

We have other libraries that are core, they are maintained all the time, docs are up to date, unit tests, and so on. Closed or open they get daily love.

But our company has no specific "open source goals". We don't care about github stars, we're not measuring downloads etc. We actively evaluate pull requests, and most get merged in.

So in short, I think you need to determine what the goals (direct an indirect) are for each project, and from there allocate (or not) resources to that project.

If there's no harm in open sourcing it, then great, do that. If you want external engagement (git hub stars, external contributers for free etc) then that's a somewhat different problem to the question you asked.

The article mentions several times how criminal naivete over the untraceability of Bitcoin aided the investigation - so why let the cat out of the bag now? It might be just that the IRS thinks it is not getting enough respect, but another theory is that Bitcoin is becoming known as being traceable, alternatives like Monero are currently effective, and the hope is to spread FUD by association and the implicit threat of future retroactive traceability.

To be clear, if that is the case, I have no objection.

I think it's poking fun at people who didn't care about [the current thing] X days ago, but are now really passionate about it.

Like one month almost all their posts are about COVID and the next month almost all their posts are about BLM.

But the "current thing" often isn't a new thing, and instead touches on some core value. For example, people who have never been to Ukraine or know anything about it still care about Ukraine because the situation speaks to issues of violence, freedom, honesty, safety, etc. And people who have never watched a college swim meet care about the trans swimmer because it speaks to issues of fairness, inclusion, gender, etc.

I think there's some validity to pointing out that we don't all have to weigh in on national conversations or lose sight of the bigger picture. But I think it's also a way to try to shut down conversations using a blanket criteria: new, popular conversation == bad conversation. That philosophy can't reasonably be applied to all new conversations without doing more harm than good. In my experience the "current thing" critique is very selectively applied to discussions the commenter is opposed to or bored with, which is subjective and very personal.
