From the article:

"For now, the rules-based system that gave us relative peace, lifting billions out of poverty (with China the biggest beneficiary) is under seige. The democracies’ reliance on the United Nations Charter and multilateral norms means nothing to the authoritarians except as tools to obfuscate, dupe and manipulate to their own advantage."

..

" The autocrats have a natural advantage in that they control information in their own countries and have mastered disinformation techniques abroad. The democracies need to get back in the game using, for example, their intelligence capacity as the USA and United Kingdom did with effect to discredit Putin’s ‘Big Lie’ about the impending invasion."
Is it? Irrespective of what I think of the post, I can't see any context in which posting it to a large forum full of strangers wouldn't count as 'promoting it'.
This is really naive.

Let's take the 'no borders' situation - and throw in 'no drug regulation':

1) The immediate availability of narcotics would devestate the country within a few months. The opioid epidemic is already causing great harm, and that's something that was actually contained initially within the confines of the American medical system: you had do have prescription, from a doctor, and access a controlled substance. And even then - it's bad.

With fentanyl now available, which by the way, is the #1 drug of choice among recent opioid addicts because it's just 'much better' - we're seeing devestating results.

A completely liberal free for all would mean all sorts of things: energy drinks, candy, food, would be embedded with various drugs.

America is not 'burning man' - with mostly high responsible actors, doing stuff 'on the side' where it's not open, and not usually within 'arms reach'. Even the professionals who can 'handle their stuff' at burning man, were things to become as easy as coca cola to access, would fall under.

Within about 5 months, 5% of the population would be addicted to meth or opiods, it would be a massive public health disaster of epic proportions. And while organized crime might not exist, petty crime would skyrocket.

2) "Texans love guns, so not sure why we'd want to prevent them from entering."

Because guns are a controlled commodity for similar reasons. Every state has regulations. Do you want fully automatic machine guns, grenades, CS gas easily accessible to every baddie in America for a few dollars? It's absurd.

3) "Illegal migrants can also be deported after the fact"

No, they can't.

Illegal immigrants are not deported unless they have committed major crimes, because it's too expensive and politically untenable. 'Open Borders' would mean millions of people arbitrarily flowing into the US until the system was degraded to the point where there wasn't an advantage in coming to the US. When it has failed as badly as Brazil, well, people will stop coming.

4)

It's really absurd that people think laws, borders, rules etc. don't matter and are somehow arbitrarily limiting. Those are part of the fundamental building blocks of civil society.

Mexico is a broken state, the US is mostly a civil state, which is a delicate thing.

One of the first things to happen with 'open borders' would be the Cartels themselves using it as an opportunity to corrupt American politicians. Money is a very powerful thing, unrestrained it would corrupt Arizona / New Mexico politics and Justice System relatively quickly and the dominoes would start to fall.
I like that idea of converting metadata to text, so you can do text operations on it that you are already familiar with, and then apply the changes back.

If your problem can be solved by just regexps, there's a "rename" tool installed by Perl I've used for decades. E.g.

rename -n 's/JPEG$/jpg/' *JPEG

Will apply the substitution for JPEG at end of the filename to just jpg. The -n will run without renaming so you can see what it intends to do.

Regarding Rey in context of The Last Jedi, did we watch the same movie? She was basically a mixture of having doubt and uncertainty and being troubled for the large part of the movie. Only in the confrontation with Kylo, we see her inner strength but even that was tempered with her vulnerability - its not like she vanquished Kylo with a smirk.

You only tend to find that when the style your being forced to use happens to align with your own style, or you don't use the language/tool and therefore aren't affected by it.

In my experience, a lot of programmers will shout from the rooftops about the importance of consistency until the agreed upon standard isn't their standard, at which point consistency is no longer the most important matter at stake.
In Confluence Editor, under the Macro "Plus" button, you should find an entry called "Markup" pretty far up the list, which accepts "Confluence Wiki" Markup (which is just Markdown + Macros). This works for both on-premise as well as cloud instances.

My experience with Confluence's search was that it's a mistake the press Enter.

That is, the pop-up results that appear as I typed where significantly better than the actual "search results" page.
> But it’s a bad comparison, this is about a tool that is conceptually limited, it’s something art has never had before. We didn’t have paint brushes that wouldn’t let you use them to paint a nude portrait or spray cans that refused to let you use them do create graffiti.

But is the comparison to 'art' apt?

The platonic ideal is that this will work like the holodeck from the Enterprise, but the skill is all in the machine, there is no effort or skill for the consumer aside from the decision what she wants to see.

I can enter "monkey on a bicycle" in the Google image search and Google shows me pictures of monkeys on bikes. Dalle works exactly the same. Is Googles image search for that reason like a paint brush? Should it make illegal content available? I don't think so, it is a content service. A future Dalle-22 may be virtually indistinguishable from Youtube or Pornhub and A) it should be able decide what it wants to be and B) be bound by the same laws like youtube or pornhub.
I assume they chose this specific 17km stretch specifically for it's technical feasibility (otherwise why would they mention a particular location for the trial). The fiber doesn't need to go all the way via the water network, just enough to reduce construction costs.

My first thought was "eh, more plastic leeching crap into the water", but then I remembered that all modern water pipes are already plastic.. too late for that.

Most importantly, I was under the impression city-wide water pipes are rarely pressurized, the water 'runs' through it with a substantial air gap - that means entry/exit points are easy, and nothing actually needs to be in contact with the water. Is that not the case?
Neither is photographing the Mona Lisa.
A newer tool 'brename' is similar but uses standard inputs and allows for full regex. Like rename it has dry mode for safe renaming.
> this is an idea that should be discarded before you spend money on the trials because in practice it won't work

This is an incredibly pessimistic and counter-productive point of view. "You shouldn't even try because it'll never work" will never get you anywhere apart from the most obvious and incremental advances.

Even if it turns out that only 10% of the water infrastructure in the UK is usable for this sort of expansion, it has the potential to be a useful technique. Plus if it does turn out to be a relevant then pressure can be applied to the water companies by the government (using legislation if necessary). Expansion of fibre broadband is a political positive at the moment.
If you're talking about the testing instrument itself, then sure I don't think it's great. But if you're talking about the underlying theory (and that's much more interesting - when we discuss physics we talk about the theory of relativity not the tools we use to measure it) then I would like to point out that the theory (lets call it Jungian Type Theory - JTT) was derived from an empirical process. Specifically it was derived from Jung's observations as a clinician over several decades. That's not a controlled experiment, but it's certainly empirical.

Regarding my personal experience with it: I have personally found it highly useful as a predictive model of behaviour. It's the only thing I've found that allows me to explain the aspects of people's personalities that aren't easily explained by their environment or life experiences. And by combining with JTT with an understanding of someone's life experience and environment I've found that I can pretty much always find a satisfying explanation for someone's behaviour in a way that I am not able to do with either one individually.

Regarding its validity:

- Firstly, there's no need to tiptoe around the subject if you think it's bullshit. I won't be offended, and I can totally understand why might be skeptical given the experimental evidence that exists so far.

- Having said that, I would like to challenge to idea that we ought to expect JTT to be experimentally validated given how limited our current ability to inspect the brain is. Specifically (and unlike other models of personality) the theory's primary claims are that there are certain internal thinking processes, which of course we currently have no way of observing directly, and which will not necessarily correspond straightforwardly or 1:1 with observable behaviours (environmental and life experience factors being huge confounders).

- Given this I find it entirely unsurprising that experimental designs which rely on numerical scorings of observed behaviours fail to find an effect

- I think it no coincidence that this theory came out of clinical psychology, because you need to be able to control for the environmental and life-experience factors in order to be able to see the other pattern that is (well ok, might be) sitting there beneath them. And therapeutic relationships which continue over a number of years are one of the only scenarios where that context is available outside of close personal relationships.
But if the NFT buyer believes that they could sell the NFT to some other person in the future for more money, then they would buy it from the artist today. This same person would not donate this money.

So selling NFT is indeed a separate source of revenue from donations.
What is a high-end sound system anyways? I've always wondered, and now I ask. How do you measure it - just frequency response and power draw?

The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker both have the same main character. But the difference critic/audience ratings are stark. Critics rate The Last Jedi significantly higher than the audience average, while they rate Rise of Skywalker significantly lower.

The difference is not in the main character, the difference is in how the movies relate to the established conventions of the franchise.
Linus Torvalds agrees with you:

> git actually has a simple design, with stable and reasonably well-documented data structures. In fact, I'm a huge proponent of designing your code around the data, rather than the other way around, and I think it's one of the reasons git has been fairly successful […] I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important. Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships.

The cables are mostly glass fibre, and glass is about as good as you can get in terms of being safe with water. There are obviously coatings too, and for water deployments the coatings will be chosen to be safe to "drink" in case of any abrasion or wear.
You're most welcome! The project was "in the works" for several years, and it was a very pleasant surprise when it became clear sometime in 2021 that we were actually going to be able to get it completed and out the door by the end of the year.

Naturally that was when people started making discoveries that solved half-century-old open Life problems. In early 2022 we had to fix a few sentences that started with "it is currently unknown whether..." -- but that didn't take too long.

> Should our government protect (idiots|naive investors) from getting scammed?

While the answer for me is yes I also dislike the framing of this.

We live in a society that (the US even more than Europe)

1. Over centuries has moved towards more and more privatisation of what used to be commons (land, water, ways, now software), thus forcing people to engage in either business or crime to survive - unless you are born rich

2. Has grown more and more complex to navigate,sometimes by necessity but often via rent seeking (Intuit and taxes) requiring you to spend quite a lot of mental capacity and time to manage it - unless you are rich enough to pay someone to do the work for you

3. Does not really adequately give you the training and time required to acquire these skills - unless you are rich in money enough to afford college and possibly additional training, or have rich/self sacrificing enough parents to navigate college, learn how to separate good free sources from bad free sources etc. (not even bringing in systemic handicaps like lead paint or other cognitively impairing pollution in low income areas)

4. Has grown a hundreds of billion dollar industry around manipulating people, with useful information ever more difficult to distinguish from "sponsored posts" etc. - reinforcing the above 3 points. The swamp of influencers feeding parasocial relationships to monetize as part of that that is especially normalized throughout all of life and entertainment - unless you can afford paying for "high quality" media that doesn't feature them (in cash or in time searching for gems)

and we blame individuals for getting scammed?

All of the above boil down to "if you are already privileged, you can avoid getting scammed" and most of the moralistic arguments people use (greed, stupidity, impulsive,lazy...) are "fuck the poor" in disguise: fuck the poor for having poor impulse control (nevermind lead paint, unresolved trauma because there was no therapist money, not having the time to learn that impulse control before being thrust into work...), fuck the poor for their greed (never mind the fact that high risk games might be the only chance for meaningful social mobility if they work and the whole culture valorizes taking risks and having vision), fuck the poor for being stupid (education costs money, even if the internet gives you info for free you need to sift, sort, learn), fuck the poor for being lazy (nevermind that being poor is expensive due to lack of economizing opportunities and after just breaking even you might already have done a whole day of work).

We are putting up a well oiled, highly funded (sometimes state subsidised) machine of professional nudging, manipulation and technically legal scams against Joe Plumber or Joe Programmer who is just trying to do the right thing and hustle on top of his normal job. I'm not sure we should blame Joe for statistically not being on top in that game

This book is great for learning about the discoveries in Life beyond the level of the usual pop science articles. It covers the development of amazing machines like the 0E0P metacell that can simulate other cellular automata within Life. https://conwaylife.com/wiki/0E0P_metacell
In practice, fibres don't just break randomly, they break because someone digs them up or the duct they're in collapses or similar. If any of those happens, the water line is going to be broken and need digging up in exactly the same way as if there was no fibre there. And in fact the water line might protect the fibre under some circumstances.
This is giving me some flashbacks to starting a course at college on Film Studies. I left after a few weeks, the constant over analysis was too much. Let me enjoy (or hate) the movie is please. It does seem weird to me that the creatives involved would put so much effort into things that the bulk of the population won't interpret.
This is a great learning experience. There is a lack of people with the skill to reimagine how things are built so I’m sure this will pay off massively in future endeavours.

She never lost a fight. She's never shown to have any moral flaws. Compare that to Anakin who lost plenty of fights (thereby also losing parts of his body) despite being an overpowered character; he was also arrogant and impatient. What moral flaws does Rey have?

Doubting yourself and then winning at everything doesn't make you relatable. It makes you like that colleague from school who was stressed out before every exam, saying for sure they're gone fail, proceeding to have straight A's from every one of them. When you hear them doubt themselves next time, you don't empathise with them, you say "oh shut up".
Maybe you're aware of how Rotten Tomatoes scores work, but in case someone reading this isn't: the score is not some average of individual scores like IMDb uses (I think), but just the _proportion of critic scores that are positive_.

So, if a film has 100x 2.5/4 star ratings from critics and 50 1.5/4 star ratings, it would have a Tomatometer score of 67% (100 positive of 150 ratings).

Sure, but your typical cladding isn't going to be rated for that usage, and no, there is no air in water pipes (there is in the sewers, if that's what you meant, but we're talking water pipes here and those are definitely under pressure).

17 km is a pretty good stretch, that means it won't be a single run but quite a few of them with entries and exits every time they need to make a splice. It's also going to be pretty rare to find a stretch like that that just so happens to run exactly where you want fiber to go (and a nice little problem on how to route the cable around those splices so you still respect the minimum bending radius of the fiber for all phases of construction and use). Rural would be the most likely candidate, long runs, few splices. If the get the POC to work reliably across a couple of years without the water utility ripping it out at some point because it causes them trouble then more power to them, but I would not bet on this.

Also: the force of a bunch of water flowing along a fiber should not be underestimated, you won't be able to do that for a very long distance before the pull overcomes the breaking strain of the cable. It might cause the cable to get pinched on turns and rub against the inside of the turn potentially abrading the outer shell as the water flow rate varies considerably between peak and off time usage (and contaminating the water supply with the debris).

In the end the reduction in construction costs is a savings for the company that wants to lay the fiber but they will have to pay compensation/rent to the water company for being allowed to use their conduit, probably have to indemnify them for any (long term) damage and every time there is an issue with the water system they run the risk of having their stuff broken. 17 km is also long enough that you'll be passing more than one set of baffles (which are used to reduce the effect of waterhammer on the valves and the pipes), I wonder how they plan on dealing with those or if that's going to be more entries and exits.

The only remotely feasible solution that I can think of is a pipe-within-a-pipe and then to blow fibre through conventionally, that would give you the rigidity required for mechanical integrity and it will probably seal well enough that you can do it with water pipes under pressure. That's not going to be cheap but it just might come in cheaper than trenching or burrowing using remote controlled moles, it will of course still reduce the available capacity to carry water and require entry/exit every time there is a piece of infrastructure in the water system.
