It's a very country-specific thing. In the Netherlands approximately everyone switched to WhatsApp long before unlimited SMS became the norm. WhatsApp was ubiquitous for years before Facebook bought them in 2014, but even 5 or so years ago my cheap monthly plan did not include unlimited SMS.
+1, some good stuff over there, all the HBO classics and new movies are available quite soon after release - watched the new Batman yesterday, about to rewatch The Wire. Also the new platform is really improved in terms of usability, it the old HBO GO service which HBO MAX replaced was really bad with buffering and "adaptive" quality which somehow was always 480p for me. Now it's crisp and nice.

Use the state to fix failures of the state? There's a weird cyclic optimism here that I don't think can really be supported by the facts. After all, those who write a law can just as easily add addendum to that law, or remove it all together. Even with equal banking laws, there's always going to be an individual who the state deems as less equal than others. That's just how it's always been.

Its bizarre that this is such an unpopular idea, when if posted in a thread about anything other than crypto, it'd likely not be scoffed at this hard.
I love Git. It is a distributed cryptographic chain technology. Git is open source and free and used by many millions of people every day. You would think that proponents of decentralized cryptographic chain technology would talk about Git a lot.

But the crypto people don't talk about Git. They are focused on being early adopters and investors in something that will generate 1000x returns, even if those returns come from a pyramid scheme mechanism.
And yet you still didn't explain the negative impact of moving (_not_ removing) subs other than generically saying "it will harm the British defense posture". Why?

I am not calling you a conservative -- few people can be defined with a single word -- but you do have a conservative position here: you just keep repeating an argument that boils down to "change is bad because of change". You even fail to see that you are not really elaborating on the reason, which only adds to the feeling of bias.

It's not like these borders are written in stone. It's not like balkanization in Europe will actually lead to a less powerful european govern structure -- it may actually lead to a more powerful EU; without large-population states monopolizing it, smaller states have one less reason to mistrust EU-centralized government. I even mentioned in another comment this was actually the real goal of the early pan-european people, and not what we have now.

But it's all hard to predict. What I'm not going to do is to say that all of this is bad "because it is change".

And these arguments about the omni-present "enemy state actors" contributing to almost practically every cause (except, apparently, the cause of preserving the status quo. a status quo which is not really that great and which almost certainly ends very bad for us. why would foreign actors want to meddle with that?) quickly get tiresome.
>> There are many Chinese activists living outside China for instance

Where do they live, where they're allowed to speak against the Chinese Communist Party? Not in Russia. Not in another dictatorship.

>> Plenty of people escaped the Soviet Union and became outspoken anti-communist activists, same thing.

Where did they escape to? Where could they have escaped to if America/Western Europe didn't exist? Who would have ever heard of Solzhenitsyn if he hadn't managed to get his work to America?

It's really ironic that I - a lifelong detractor of American foreign policy and imperialism - have to be the person to point this out, but: There is no place left in the world where you can speak your mind if America is truly censored by its own children/corporate compliance going forward. You may have grown up in a country where you were never allowed to speak your mind; in that case, you don't understand what is at risk if the American populace truly undergoes the kind of cleansing that e.g. Soviet Russia underwent w/r/t silencing wayward views.

The activists and dissidents and contra-thinkers you mentioned would probably not even exist without a free world outside those dictatorships who they could appeal to; but if that outside world that they adore didn't exist, no one would ever know about them. They'd be abolished, murdered, and everything they ever thought and wrote would be disappeared for all time. The only thing that allows them to speak is the stubborn, obstinate existence of a country in North America whose people largely refuse to kowtow to dictatorships.

Largely. And when they are wrong, and they often are, it's our own job (as American citizens) to take our government to task for it.

I've only become pro-American the more I understand about politics and speech in the rest of the world.

Also, it's not really OK for other countries to define themselves in terms of economic growth or imperialist conquest, while castigating the US, and using us as the "outside culture" that provides their material wealth and industrial processes while acting as if these things come from an automatic universal culture that they don't have to subscribe to. In other words, if a Jewish woman scientist in the US helps create a vaccine, or a sustained fusion reaction, people in Iran who believe in 7th century blood feuds as a basis for social life don't just get to dip in and take the progress for themselves as if it was handed out by Allah. Not without reckoning why they weren't able to produce those breakthrough ideas through their own social/economic/religious/military structures. It's not their right as a polity. Why? Because the smartest of their people already came here and worked on it. And the stupidest, most backwards, malevolent and hateful of their countrymen are running their country.

So yeah, tell me where these dissidents go and publish their works if we go away, or cease to exist?
> Moving money between bank accounts in an immutable way is extremely cheap already.

Only true in certain countries, between certain banks/processors, and within certain thresholds.

My last last transaction fee on Tezos was a fixed cost of 0.000544 xtz ($0.00177 USD), had no threshold limitations, required zero privacy invasion, settled in ~30 seconds, and was not limited to a particular bank or regional currency. This is essentially the 'technofix' that crypto users want to see adopted by the rest of the financial sector.

> Originals are hit and miss, mostly miss, and get cancelled constantly after 1 season.

The latter thing is precisely what causes the most "misses". Hard to get invested even despite minor issues when you know it will get cancelled anyway. Also means no one will produce or buy merch aside from coffee mugs, further cutting into profits.

> Libraries outside the US are a fraction of the size of the US library, some legitimately have less than 10% of its content, while asking for the same amount of money.

I believe that only mandatory licensing laws will solve that issue. Particularly Disney... it's time someone finally steps in and either breaks them up or forces them to license their content to competitors. The level of control this company has over the most popular/profitable entertainment brands (MCU, Star Wars, Avatar) is just insane - they own everything from the core IP over studios to distribution, and I would not be surprised at all if they'll announce to buy up AMC and other regional cinema chains.
> and so much focus on buzzwords

The “blockchain” thing killed it for me personally. Only so long I could just sit and see people naively wave around blockchain as a solution to every goddamn technical and social problem they can think of.
The moment you need SSR, you'd be in a better place if you were using just plain old server rendered (componetized) views, such as the ones you can do with laravel's Blade system, and do your client side interactions with Alpine and your server interactions with unpoly/HTMX.

SSR per se is not a "big problem", specially if using something like Next. The problem comes when you have to mix in translations, i18n, data fetching from external sources, authentication, cookies forwarding, etc, etc, etc... in my opinion complexity grows so exponentially that I don't see the advantage anymore.

I'm working on a project built with Laravel + Tailwind + Unpoly + Alpine and it is such a walk in the park to implement anything thrown at us. Although it is not "cool" tech, so some people around here don't want to work on it because they only want React all the things :-s
You realize the merge has already successfully completed on a testnet last month. The Geth client code for the merge is complete.

I do not find these kind of rants very informative regardless which direction they come from. I can give many such examples featuring similar uprooted emotional selectivists, even hateful stories marginalizing (or extolling) entire cultures/nations from nearly any country (most being familiar with Palestine, Israel, Poland, Slovakia, Czech, Germany, Ukraine, Russia, Vietnam, US, and few others). If one wants to cherry-pick on atrocities one-against-the-other for the above examples there are libraries and archives which, I guarantee, will break any sane person's heart. Those are real things that happened and they are just as well lessons to us, individually, of what any of us is capable of doing under the "wrong" circumstances. And we have to guard our humanity, individually, against indiscriminate hate -a poison that corrodes the soul - no matter how noble the perceived goal].

However, the weight of my comment is to be put somewhere else. I observe that in majority of such opinions (that serve its function as an outlet, but nothing more) there is simply no actual conceptual understanding (at least as reflected in the articles) of culture, society, state in relation to the individual as a process. This lack of concepts just digs a proverbial hole for the speaker/persuator from one cannot asses the past-present relation properly from principled laws of organization. Then we have over-emotional individual reactions to propaganda (on either side) which invites to such unstructured one dimensional banal analyses. There is no acknowledgement on limits of knowledge and validity of simply having different opinion on the matter, no distinction of what is personal, what is political, what is bureaucratic, what is a comment, opinion, what is propaganda, instead just thrown everything into one big flux, the antithesis of what intellect needs. No lessons, just brute misplaced hate, almost as if to confirm ones own feelings looking into the mirror; exemplified in the silly conclusion:

... that "Russians hate that Ukraine exists" ... (such sounds are produced also by the archetypal propagandists)

No Intel proc with a U, T or Y suffix. These are all lower power versions that won't sustain high performance. You absolutely sacrifice battery significantly with anything else though when under sustained high performance, including strong AMD processors, but they may do a little better.

Next is discrete graphics. If you just need multiple monitors, an Intel G CPU will usually do it. If you need discrete GPU, again you're going to sacrifice on battery.

For longevity, you might want to consider a Xeon laptop. Lenovo has these, so they're one option.

One measure of how much sustained performance a laptop can take is the charger wattage, usually buried in the spec sheet. In my experience chargers are rated only slightly higher than the wattage necessary to keep the machine going at top performance. A laptop with a low wattage charger is unlikely to sustain top performance for long. But it depends on your definition of "sustain". 10 minutes? Half an hour? Constant load of 60, 70, 80%? The charger heuristic just weeds out low power though. There's less of a guarantee that a higher wattage charger == higher sustained performance.
BMW seems a little late to the battery electric vehicle party.

How does one turn crypto back into energy?
Unfortunately, given:

"How can we create a more equitable financial system, where everyone has access to banking services?
How can we reduce the power that a small few currently hold over the web?
How can we improve data privacy and ensure that people have control over their personal information?
How can we create reasonable privacy in the financial system?
How can we make information more available to everyone?
How can we fix a society where so many people are in untenable financial situations?
How can we reduce the enormous wealth disparity in today’s society—both in the existing distribution of wealth but also in access to new opportunities to earn it?
How can we enable creatives to make a fair living from their art?
How can we address inequities on a global scale?
How can we create self-governing communities around shared interests or goals?"

Cryptocurrencies as a tech are not the answer for any of those questions, they could be a tool to support some of those things but as of now are not the most efficient way to improve those. Maybe the "movement" / hype behind cryptos could help but you have to an absolute uncynical person to think that given the types that are most loudely hyping it up, society won't be worse off in the end.

PitchBook Venture Monitor Q1 2022 [pdf]
For something this powerful, you might make it into a while-house automation controller or large CNC machine, and you probably wouldn't want to hook up the IO directly to the main CPU... You'd use Ethernet for distributed IO, maybe I2C for local IO (combined with something like this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/732, which would provide much more powerful, ESD-tolerant, robust, 5V-capable inputs and outputs). A tiny handful of 3V3, low-current IO are not particularly useful for realistic use-cases. Heck, even the Beaglebone, with its 1 GHz Arm A8 and 512 MB RAM has a pair of separate microcontrollers ("PRUs") for real-time IO on the SOC.

I wish there were some higher-speed, lower-level local busses for communication with subprocessors and other IO (SPI, CAN, etc), but Ethernet is fine.

You will want to check ownership by sending a verification email anyway. If you want to avoid typos, show a "are you sure... yes/no" warning, there is no need to block anybody.

Right, but my point was that if you can't reliably estimate how long something will take, you can't estimate how long it ought to take, and, by extension, can't estimate if it's taking longer than it should.

It was a reference to Foucault's Discipline and Punish, which I think that post is also a reference to!

It's easy to argue that Foucault oversells his point, but his fundamental observation is an important one: the systems of regimentation and categorization at the heart of our schools, hospitals, and prisons is not particularly different between the three, is remarkably modern, and shares the same purpose (to observe and measure us against metrics for education, rehabilitation, healing, metrics that establish normative control over our lives).

Right, anyone can generate NFTs though. How does this differ from saying something like "the artist who called an empty room art is the jumping the shark moment, now I'm advocating against art at every turn"?
Add to that region locking.

As a consumer, it's immensely frustrating that a global service needs to maintain geofencing to satisfy the bazillion content contracts. This is an artificial scarcity.

Example: in the US, Better Call Saul season 1-5 is on NF. Season 6 is on NF in many countries, but NOT in the US -- presumably an embargo for AMC.

Splitting series across platforms is such a shitty, anti-consumer maneuver. It forces people to either hop services, in and out of contract, or just pirate and be done with it.

They have people lined up to pay for the product and they can't deliver it without hurt.

Good point. A lot of the best Netflix content is stuff they've bought from the UK that they rebrand as "Netflix Original" in the US.
My friend alleged when interning for a private equity company that part of their due diligence for funding startups was check whether the founders went to or dropped out of various ivy league schools. I later found out that wasn't the company's procedure, but rather his. He's much happier as a developer now.

You have to accept though that just saying "ah, the government will fix it" when historically governments have been a major contributor to wealth inequality, is somewhat glib. There's a reason NGOs and private charity exist.

I think this approach is just as wrong as saying "crypto is the answer".
The problem is that there's often a gender and racial bias in the pool of qualified workers, but the courts are basically willfully blind to that. Deviation from the overall demographic breakdown is taken as evidence of discrimination, even if those demographic groups have very different breakdowns of qualifications.
That's interesting, but it would have to be very carefully managed, because it would make it difficult to maintain high Quality, in general.

I could easily see people saying things like "I know my software is buggy, but that just makes it more secure, dude!"

So you would have to have a database of these bugs that would be available to testers (including unofficial testers, like end-user testers), so they wouldn't waste their time, tracking down deliberate bugs. If it were open enough to do that, then hackers would simply consult that list, before going much further.
