> A huge part of the web is [some website]

Makes no sense. What is your point? "A huge part of woodwork deals with nails, and one cannot easily use a screwdriver for that". Well, if you are into woodwork, use a hammer! Evidently, we are not talking about woodwork here. Clarify your assumptions. It may seem you wanted to state "EPD is not the best solution for [some website] users", which brings nowhere unless you contextualize the statement with some idea (very preferably a plausible one) that makes it logically productive.

> Even if we confine

Confine? A screwdriver is optimal for driving screws. To """confine""" a screwdriver to that is "proper use". Hypertext (the World Wide Web, as intended, none the less) is something meant to be /read/ and at the same time explored non sequentially: it is properly consumed with reading friendly technologies. EPD is meant to be that.

> needs scrolling

Absolutely false, and also irrelevant: scrolls have in fact disappeared as standard practice centuries ago, and we invented tablets and paging in 3300BC, in Sumer (not to mention sheep and cattle raising eight further centuries earlier, from which the folio comes): paging has been the standard for over five millennia. And when we used scrolling, it was because some technology had that as the most appropriate use. Clay? Paging then. Papyrus? Scrolling then. Paper? Flipping then. What has changed?

Hypertext and sequential text do not need scrolling - we have paged since forever. And when the user wants, scrolling is available and perfectly usable with EPD. Slower than LCD? Well LCD has a number of properties inferior to those of EPD: if you have no use for these, why should you use EPD? Clearly the balance determined by all properties changes according to use case. This is really basic.

> The fact that it could be done in practice doesn’t mean that it should

Very trivial principle, contextualize it - it can be applied to CRTs and brass plaques: there exist a number of properties for two or more technologies; some use cases will turn the balance in favour of A, others in favour of B etc. You will use a hammer when it is appropriate to use a hammer, and a screwdriver when it is appropriate to use a screwdriver, and you will do just like Ben Franklin recommended and "saw with a file and file with a saw when pressed". Again, all of this is as trivial as reasoning comes; to make the reasoning productive (and debatable), you have to add the uncommon assumptions, not the foundationals. You have confirmed the opposite point: just refer your statement to LCD!

It seems, outside analysis and towards immediacy, that you just do not see use cases for EPD: - it's you. We have tried to tell you: you do not have the need, others do. Just trust it, you will see it when you will want to see it. Some people do appreciate «working with natural light with energy efficient systems on a mainly document-based flow».

"Ah, and all the compromises then are overcome by the benefits"? Yes, that!
Here's the math: https://mrdrscienceteacher.wordpress.com/2019/09/21/bison-vs...
When a distributed database is designed, you must navigate and optimize several complex technical tradeoffs to meet the architecture and product objectives. The specific set of tradeoffs made -- and they are different for every platform -- will determine the kinds of data models and workloads that the database will be suitable for, especially if performance and scalability are critical as in this case.

The reason distributed databases tend to be buggy, especially in the first iterations, is straightforward if not simple to address. While it is convenient to describe technical design tradeoffs as a set of discrete, independent things, in real implementation they are all interconnected in subtle, complex, nuanced ways. Modifying one design tradeoff in code can have unanticipated consequences for other intended tradeoffs. In other words, there isn't a set of simple tradeoffs, there is a single extremely high-dimensionality tradeoff that is being optimized. Not only are complex high-dimensionality design elements difficult to reason about when writing code the first time, any changes to the code may shift how the tradeoffs interact in non-obvious ways. Humans have finite cognitive budgets, so unless it is obvious that a code change has the potential to have unintended side effects, we generally don't spend the time to fully verify this fact.

I can't tell you how many times I've seen tiny innocuous code changes alter the behavior of distributed databases in surprising ways. This is also why once the core code seems to be correct, people are reluctant to modify it if that can be avoided at all.
That's the problem, isn't it? What one person perceives as civil, another person may perceive as uncivil.
Of course it is in the company's interest. That's why they are doing it.

I used my life in the bible belt as an anecdotal example, but it can apply to many places.

Disparaging a company's move just because - acktualllly it benefits them - will have you hating every business on the planet.

My point here is they didn't _have_ to do this. Places like Google and Apple are all but telling remote workers to kick rocks. Others like Facebook say 'be remote but we are doing CoLA.' ABNB's policy here is the most fair (and generous) out of the ones I've seen. If that attracts workers, good for them.
When do you need anything stronger than causal consistency? Eg when I was a jpmorgan, actual customer financial transactions in practice just needed causal consistency. Anything stronger than that really was about consistent snapshot reads for reporting purposes.

> "Fomenko has no historical background, and believes that most historical sources are lies anyhow."

Because I have read some Soviet school manuals, which were full of shameless lies about most historical events (not only in the history manuals, but in all manuals, regardless of subject, e.g. in physics manuals, biology manuals and so on, and even in the sports manuals, where e.g. sports like boxing and skiing had been invented and developed by Russians, before the English and the Norse), I find it easy to believe that someone who grew in the Soviet Union was convinced that all written history sources must contain only lies.

Nothing special about EMPs in that sense. What I did not know was this (qoute from page 4):

> Russia has what they term “Super-EMP” weapons, nuclear warheads specialized for HEMP attack [0]. Super-EMP warheads have very low explosive yield (10 kilotons or less) but very high gamma yield, which is what generates HEMP. According to Russian military and technical sources, Super-EMP weapons can generate HEMP fields of 100,000 volts/meter or higher, greatly exceeding the U.S. military hardening standard for HEMP (50,000 volts/meter).

According to the document, 100,000 volts/meter can also be produced by commercially available products [1] (for much smaller areas) or be built relatively easily by somewhat skilled people, like you point out. The fact that Russia has a first strike weapon potentially rendering Europe and USA defensless is worrying, as this threat is not addressed or taken seriously – according to the paper. Living in a country sharing borders with Russia, I would love to hear that the US actually is in front of this, not lagging behind.

What were your past experiences with "getting in the way"?
AFAIK these EULAs are legal. In reality, RED isn't exfiltrating their customers' video (the files are enormous so people would notice) and they would go out of business if they did. Probably every product has some objectionable clause in their EULA which no one reads, so you're better off not reading it and moving on with your life. If you want to be a freedom fighter, go work for the EFF; if you want to make video, make video.
Soy milk is hundreds of years old. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest that the hormone drop is caused by soy milk. American bison digest far better than cows and don't produce methane. What is natural about millions of cows in factories producing milk? Additionally these cows are being fed enormous amounts of gmo monocrops in order to produce. Almond milk is indeed a wasteful product, but the misallocation of scarce water due to regulation is not the same thing as greenhouse gases.
IANAL. If this actually matters to you, you should talk to one.

Exactly! Putin does refer to US and European laws when signing off the oppressive laws. Interestingly, they often make some sense, but are abused by law enforcement in absence of independent courts. Context matters a lot!

As another user commented above: Reddit was a company, Usenet is owned by no one, you can create your own groups, share groups you like not only from you etc. Moderation on Usenet in some groups might have been strong but far from Reddit: on Reddit mods are "Gods", on Usenet mods can be pushed out simply contacting enough users via mail or some other group. They are not that powerful.

Also on Usenet scoring, killfiles etc are yours so you can ban my posts because you do not like them, but others will see them, while on Reddit if a mod ban someone it's for all or no one.

Spam on usenet was and issue because at that time antispam was not good as today, today we can filter spam enough, if just there is enough interested public. So far usenet is far from being dead, it's used by few to share mostly pirate binary contents like Radarr/Lidarr/Sonarr series. With commercial orgs. That's not usenet of course, but that's still possible and it's useful enough to prove it's strength and flexibility.

Just see another example: Popcorn Time. A super-success people have abandoned simply because instead of install an app most prefer going to streaming websites, not really because of legal actions or ban. ZeroNet is built on the same principle, it's legal, made to share websites, nearly no one seems to be interested again because they can find some place to write text hosted by someone else. Or: the issue is cultural not technical. People en masse do not comprehend the meaning of freedom so they ignore it until it's tangibly lost and at that time it's too late.

Against such phenomenon there is no technical solution, only social ones...

Can't wait until such "real milk" replacements are broadly, cheapish-ly available, so we can get "real" vegan cheese, butter, cream and curd. IMO all current options there suck big time (but YMMV, of course) :D
I mostly agree with everything you've said here. Frankly, I don't think Wayland has the functionality to support what people want to do on Desktop Linux. Wayland apologists will claim "that's the point", which I would be willing to agree with if the development of things like Mutter and wlroots weren't so spread apart. It's resulted in a scenario where two and a half desktops actually support Wayland, and even those don't have feature-complete implementations. GNOME, Sway, and especially KDE are still playing catch-up with x11 functionality. That's simply unacceptable for a software project that's 10 years in the making.

Wayland is going to have a hard time being "the new standard" if it continues down it's path of less hardware compatibility, less software compatibility and less overall functionality. I'm willing to point the finger squarely at GNOME here too, because they've intentionally gimped Wayland's development over the years under the guise that they're the lead implementation, while giving the rest of the community the pittance of wlroots. This has been disastrous to the development cycle of Wayland, and ended up splintering the wrong projects and blocking the right features. Stuff like app tray indicators have been completely depreciated on a system level solely because GNOME said they didn't want them. It's really petty, and it certainly isn't moving desktop Linux forward.

In general, everything GNOME-related after Unity has just been a really slow downhill decline. The freshness and uniqueness of the desktop is dead, all we're left with now is a lame Mac clone that can't even play nice with the rest of the community. This is probably a real "old man yells at cloud" moment by most respects, but watching their behavior in recent years frustrates and disappoints me. They used to be a pretty respectable group of maintainers; now it's just drip-fed patches, gutting old features and setting inane new precedents as "the standard" and getting mad at downstream maintainers when they don't adopt them.
what benefits does the company being more valuable bring to it? better financing with banks?
I'm sure it's the cyoa language like most Eula have. The bad publicity from actually enforcing stuff like this or attempting to enforce it is something most companies don't want to deal with but they stick this nonsense in anyway just in case.

Most of this looks fairly boilerplate ever looked through like a Windows license agreement or something. Even the agreement for purchasing this product probably has very similar languages as well.

The legal president around most of this is actually contract law. The sneaky thing is though they try and push this after you've already made the purchase which allows it to be questionable at best but then you have to fight it.

What you should do is sue the company for the time and cost that you sunk into compatible peripherals because they did not make this as an agreement up front. Seems the only way you would have known that you were required to agree to this was my purchasing the camera and turning it on. But again that's more cost and you're ultimately just ending up lining the lawyer's pockets so they're happy to write agreements like this because they get paid on both sides of it.

Ultimately the best solution is one we will likely and never see which would be an update to the Magnuson Moss warranty act. Something that would take these one-sided eula's and toss them right out the door. Something in there that would be if the company no longer wishes to produce or fix software updates for a product they must immediately release to any owner of the product and this can include second or third hand owners all of the source and the build tools and build chains so it can be maintained. I'm really afraid something like that will never happen simply because at the time of the Magnuson Moss warranty act that primarily dealt with automobiles but extended to other things as well people knew how to work on their automobiles for the most part understood the parts understood that aftermarket parts could be built and worth a thing and it was fine to reverse engineer those and make copies of them. All automanufacturers also released complete engineering diagrams of their vehicles and complete repair and assembly manuals for the vehicles and due to the idea that the manufacturer and the people who had to maintain them were completely separate entities.

Considering how little people understand that software is as an integral as a component to an electronic device as spark plugs are to a gasoline engine we will never see an update to include this idea that it's not just hardware that can be repaired and not violate the warranty it's the software as well.

Extremely, if my last experience trying it (back in 2016 or so) counts.

Like all good jokes, "Haskell is the world's best imperative language" contains a kernel of truth. The standard library contains rather interesting control structures that can exist only because IO actions are lazily evaluated values -- but you can also choose to ignore those for a more Java-like experience.

>But mainstream journalists almost to a fault genuinely view their job as bringing important facts to their audience, and they care about getting things right.

What you call "mainstream media" I call "corporate media". And some journalists may feel that way however clicks, eyeballs, and stickiness take priority over their views. There’s too much competition for traditional media outlets to survive without adopting techniques that were once unthinkable. Corrections are rarely issued these days and edits are done in an almost stealthy manner. I had to stop following the Twitter accounts that tracked these changes because it became an endless stream of tweets.

The days of Tim Russert, David Broder, Jim Lehrer, Ted Koppel etc. are long gone. I would consider Matt Taibbi[1] one of the last journalists that followed in their footsteps but he is definitely not corporate and barely mainstream. Taibbi left Rolling Stone and uses Substack which has been attacked by the NYT, and others, as alt-right and misinformation which I find ironic coming from the paper that published Judith Miller’s WMDs propaganda. Even Jason Calacanis referred to Taibbi as a “right guy” on one of the recent All-In podcasts even though Matt is an ardent Sanders supporter. The Blob doesn’t like it when you don’t toe the line.

Corporate media is dead to me even though the vast majority of it is "Left".

>I understand the fight your picking, but really this isn't that much of an argument.

Really? I don't watch Fox News or any corporate media and you assumed I did. You might be shocked to learn that I worked in the Clinton administration and voted for Obama!

And how many people are those "some people?" If it's less than 100% of all current milk drinkers, there is some benefit to be had, and the more people that are comfortable with milk substitutes more often, the greater that benefit. The point is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, not get to 0, which isn't possible with milk alternatives either.

> This literally meets the definition of a ponzi scheme

It absolutely does not. Investors in a Ponzi scheme do not have the information needed to allow them to be aware of the fraud involved. In contrast, at any given point in time you can extrapolate when the Social Security system (for example - the same principle applies to any pension that isn't literally cooking the books) will need to start drawing on the general fund, or fail, if it continues operating as it is operating today.

It is a bad mistake to just characterize every non-sustainable investment scheme as a Ponzi scheme. For starters, you'd be awfully confused about what is legal and what is illegal...
That's a very particular reading of a very particular poll. Contrast with a Gallup poll from more or less the same time frame:

https://news.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx

"Would you like to see the Supreme Court overturn its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision concerning abortion, or not?"

No: 58% Yes: 32% No opinion: 10%

You can slice and dice the court of public opinion many different ways to demonstrate support for your preferred position on abortion (as with many other things). That doesn't mean that "conservatives are trying to roll back the law to reflect the culture" (emphasis mine). It means that they have an idea of what the culture should be, and are trying to make it so (like everyone else who is trying to accomplish anything politically).
Rest assured, the genie grants all wishes even if you choose to be greedy for a change.

You have no control over what the buyer would do with it. They might decide to slurp up all of the user financial data flowing through the server, for example. Or they might leak the data due to incompetence. Even in the best of circumstances, the buyer would probably have a plan for increasing revenue, which might mean raising prices, introducing ads, or any number of things that James might not like.

Finally, it sounds like he wants to continue working on the product, just at his own pace, and without the stress of running a business. This would not be an option if he sold.
