> "Many people say" this because they aren't the ones with the power.

No, they are saying it because they believe it. To use my prior example, they think it's better to transform the kind of power Dick Cheney or Bernie Sanders or Donald Trump could have, into the kind of power Bill Gates or Warren Buffett or Jeff Bezos could have. That makes a lot of sense.

You can just accuse anyone you disagree with of being a hypocrite, but that's straw-manning them when you should be steel-manning them. You don't win arguments with the tactic you're using, and you don't win hearts and minds. You also don't win when you're just plain wrong, as you are in this case.

This is great - we have to diversify away from China such that we can "turn them off" like we have done to Russia if they do something as crazy as Ukraine.
The problem is that "cheap Chinese goods" is already monopolized by eBay, Aliexpress, Banggood and Amazon. I don't see how they're ever going to break into it.
Nonsense. Package managers need to be able to run scripts as root to do the installation. And yet, in the last 25 or 30 years there's never been a case of a malicious contributor successfully inserting a backdoor in the installation script of any package in any major distribution.

Because there is a vetting process, nothing else.

[And yes, of course, it would be possible to sandbox each package installation to access some very specific paths but so far it's really unnecessary]
I will also add to this and say that using recreationally and being in a study to treat depression are wildly different things!

The studies right now can only chisel ever so slightly at the anecdotes that the recreational community repeat, a community often known for victim blaming anyone that has a bad experience.

We simply don't have any reputable data yet, to the standards of other legal drugs and treatments. I would like to see us get there. But that means each dose type has to be studied for each proposed treatment type (recreational, depression, creativity, performance at your tech job etc), each form of consumption (stem, fine grain, tea, etc) has to be studied for each proposed treatment type (recreational, depression, creativity, performance at your tech job etc).

And that's likely going to take decades.

But for everyone else that chooses to use or grow them, caution is the word! And you basically do have to rely on a consensus of anecdotes and what will most likely allow you to have a redeeming experience.
What you link to is an example of something that you can only really do in Lisp, yes. However, using nested lists to represent an HTML document - which is what I was actually talking about - is not something that you can only do in Lisp.

In the version of English that I speak, “features unique to Lisp” does not mean “features that no language had prior to Lisp” or “features that were inspired by Lisp” but rather “features that no language other than Lisp has”.

Rotten Tomatoes works fine as a recommendation system. It lists all of the new content coming out in a given week. I just read that every week, file down to what looks interesting based on the premise, and read a few reviews. I can usually tell pretty easily what I'll like. No need for in-app recommendations from any specific streaming service at all. Good old-fashioned human expert curators.
This indicates that the problem is difficult to solve at scale and customized per person. Maybe the issue is with our expectations - I find other people are pretty bad at recommending things for me as well.
Show HN: Paper Birch Notes
Just speaking for myself, I started with 3 grams and nothing happened. Then 4 and I had mild visual hallucinations. It was at that point that the feels of depression evaporated. I've used mushrooms now three times and each time was a reset of my emotions. I cannot emphasize enough the completely 180 degree turn this has had on my life.

THank you for your concern, but after 23 different pharmaceuticals with wildly varying, and oftentimes detrimental effect, I no longer have the patience. I strongly urge people who have severe depression to investigate psilocybin treatment, whether self or through a medical provider. ASAP.

I also learned that there is now a Ketamine nasal spray that is showing amazing benefits of depression, and is now being covered by insurance.
It's ironic that he should underestimate disinformation, since it was a feature of his political life since before his Presidential election. He had a website dedicated to it ("Fight the Smears"). His successor became politically prominent by participating in disinformation about Obama's birthplace. And he knew at the time that Russian propaganda efforts were part of it.

Disinformation has always been part of American political life. I see it as having taken on new and expanded roles in the past 20 years or so. Perhaps it's not surprising that Obama would underestimate the degree to which it should be come global.

It's always been part of warfare. I think the biggest change is that we haven't experienced this kind of warfare in a while. Developed nations have mostly shifted to economic means of beating up on each other, and it feels anachronistic to go to plain old shooting. The disinformation is both anachronistic and very modern.

Is there a way to do your testing without a gui? I have no idea what your testing setup requires, but is there some technical reason why tests are not done automatically in your ci/cd pipeline?

If it must be done manually, can you just ssh/rdp directly into the testing box? The network where the testing box exists could use some tunneling protocol (stunnel, socks, wireguard, vpc peering...) to make it more accessible from your dev machine or your company VPN.

Human tragedy aside (and it absolutely is, no doubt about it, on all sides), it really depends on the context.

Striking the retreating army is the 'easiest' way to 'neutralize' it, Clausewitz writes about it, and I am sure it's been practiced for thousand(s?) of years before that.

For a timely comparison: would it be 'vindictive' when Ukraine strikes the retreating Russian army in the Kyiv area before they regroup and attack the Donbas? I don't think so. Seems like a good idea, actually.

The Venezuela/Lebanon/Afghanistan fantasy stories are mostly canards. For the majority of people, and especially those in developing countries with unstable economies, there’s no “global market” for their services or labor. How exactly does someone cooking in a restaurant or sewing t-shirts in a sweatshop sell their labor on the “global market?” They can’t. They are stuck getting their “local monthly wages” in whatever currency their employer pays them with.

For the relatively tiny portion of people who have significant assets to protect, or who can sell their services globally, hard currencies such as dollars and Euros already protect them from hyperinflation and mismanagement of their local currency. Do you suppose the very wealthy in Venezuela have bank accounts in the US or Switzerland, or do they buy crypto?

Dollars and other hard currencies are already used in exactly the role you describe for crypto. Hard currency trading is often underground, black market, because of currency and exchange controls imposed by the dysfunctional government. A government that can ban legal trading in dollars can just as easily ban crypto (in fact that has happened in China already). That won’t stop the trade, it just drives it underground. Anyone who has traveled in a poor country knows that it’s very easy to use dollars or Euros.

For people in Venezuela et al. crypto is not offering some new magical lifeline to protect people from hyperinflation. It’s used to circumvent currency controls, and it will work in that respect until the oppressive government figures out how to stop it, driving it underground just like trading in dollars or Euros or gold.

If the anti-crypto perspective is “hyper focused on the US,” the pro-crypto perspective is even more hyper-focused on a small clique of (relatively) wealthy people in developed economies, free of hyperinflation and draconian currency controls and regulation, who have skills they can sell globally online — even if those “skills” amount to shilling crypto on YouTube to an audience of rubes who want to get rich quick and don’t understand risk or how blockchains work.

> Lots of APIs become awkward or impossible, something as basic as[...]

I mean, wouldn't you use a `readFile()` function like that by passing in the file handle? So:

var lines = readFile(fs.open("library-data.txt"));

...where, if you're in a library somewhere, `fs` may be a capability to a directory that you've been passed rather than a global granting access to the entire filesystem. This doesn't feel much more awkward than your example of:

var lines = readFile("library-data.txt");

EDIT: I am assuming you have an `fs.open()` that returns a file handle here; Node's doesn't seem to and instead takes a callback as an argument. You get the idea though.

I disagree with this take because you grok English not only from the text you read, but also from the context of physical world around you.

NATO membership has been a hobby horse of Stubb's party (the Coalition party) for a very long time. Now that the political winds have shifted in favor of NATO, the Coalition party is trying to capitalize on that shift in public opinion. So while it's true that public opinion is going that way, it is very much in Stubb's interest to frame it as favorably as possible, domestically and abroad. I happen to disagree with the Coalition party (on many things), but I can't fault their methods in this case-- It's good politicking.

That's a really cool project. The frontend code is very easy to follow, although I looked and looked to see where the API was implemented before figuring out that what the readme describes is not actually in that repo (API server isn't published, right?). :D
WebRTC is some of the lowest latency streaming you can get, so I would imagine any realtime event with a large broadcasting audience would benefit. Interactive/2-way though, that's another story.

Kate is a fantastic code editor (if you don't need an IDE, though it gained support for LSP) and is able to edit files over SFTP (without having to mount anything with SSHFS, which would be less efficient anyway because Kate would not be aware it is editing a distant file this way). KDevelop can probably too, and it is an IDE. I'd try QtCreator too.

In the same vain, Gedit and its forks can do this to if that's your cup of tea.

This is funny, but one of my favorite parts of New York City is how solo idle bench sitting is socially normalized. I've had many more nice serendipitous chats with other solo idle bench sitters in NYC than other American metro areas where I have idle solo bench sat.

Perhaps it has to do with the implicit communal assumption that everyone in public is a potential psycho.
It wasn't a point to debate, it was an observation that I find it interesting that these two orthogonal issues:

1. whether an industry built on people doing business with each other has physical centralization effects, and;
2. whether that same industry is built on decentralizing the product/service/technology at the center of its business...

Should:

3. Be in opposition to each other.

There's nothing particularly important about that, it's just interesting to me that "decentralizing finance" may decentralize the instruments, but not the industry itself in a certain sense.

That's all, really.
Personally, any % above "average human driving skill" reliably should start to see more uptake of this new technology. Driverless cars have and will kill people. Sometimes it will be due to programming errors. But on the whole, they are, in many cases, on par or better than human drivers. I think it's good to be cautious, for the industry to be cautious. But I don't want to see people freaking out over a single accident because it involved an AI when there are thousands of non-AI accidents every day. Be consistent in judging them, not against some mythical 100% success rate but against the criteria, is it better/safer than most drivers.
I agree that the wig selfie is processed in some way that makes it appear fake, but I think the hair pictures aren't necessarily inconsistent.

It sounds like Atlassian is doing individual restores, each restore takes a fair amount of time, and they don't have the capacity to do all 400 simultaneously (because why would they). So you just have to wait.

If you're self-hosted, you dedicate as many people as possible/necessary to restoring your service, and it becomes their top priority.

You also have a lot more insight into the detailed inner workings of the restore, making it easier to plan against, instead of just vague "we're working on it" messages for days a time with no clear end in sight.

I wrote this quickly while I was trying to think back through the way I lost a relative to cancer, and I suppose this brief bit kind of makes no sense because it sounds non-linear:

"And then a scan brings you right back to the median again, or much less."

What I meant here is that the first diagnosis is not the last. Once you start doing well, other treatments become possible that weren't possible without extra evidence or without some remission. And they give you hope -- they extend where you think you'll get to; which life events you will see. You might get to a kind of remission that surprises even the doctors; they try to help you understand how long you might now have.

But parts of this are like Monty Hall -- some of the probabilities are new, but some are from the original diagnosis all the same.

The diagnosis isn't the cancer, and the lump of cancer they are watching might not be the offshoot that does the final damage.
Achieving tunneled X applications is not hard, as you said it's a solved problem, but I have never found it worth the effort either.

1. VNC has a "stable session" that doesn't collapse when SSH closes. Even between Linux machines, I chose VNC when needing a permanent remote GUI.

2. Remote machines don't always have your preferred applications or the associated preferred configuration. Copying a light .vimrc was always easier than trying to export-import a heavier app.

3. Performance always sucked. Even between machines sitting next to each other.

4. I didn't edit files with a GUI app anyway. Didn't everyone just use Vim, Emacs, or Nano? Was remote GUI apps ever anyone's preferred method (X11 or not)?
