What I don’t feel comfortable with from generic file sync solutions is the uncertain conflict resolution handling.

At least with Evernote (far from perfect) I get a dialog informing me a conflict was found and it keeps both versions allowing me to do a manual merge.
It’s really surprising to me when people suggest that ChromeOS is worse than some other Linux. To me it’s head and shoulders above all the rest, because all the drivers always work perfectly, the touchpad works perfectly when other Linux developers are still putting out press releases every time they fix something trivial in their incredibly broken multitouch input stacks, and all the binaries including the kernel are peak-optimized with profile guidance for every specific CPU platform. There is no Linux distribution that can touch ChromeOS.
Korea and Japan rose from the ashes (Japan having lost WWII after their imperialist ambitions failed) in the same amount of time. Korea had a dictatorship or sorts but Japan didn't, but unless I'm mistaken, neither government was as autocratic (and still is) like the PAP is today.

> Science should be immune to "overtones."

This sounds nice, but given that science is done by humans, it seems entirely unrealistic to me.

If you had said: we should try to minimise the influence of this kind of politics on science, I would agree, but I rather think that is best achieved by keeping think-tank-class ideologues like Carl far away from tenure.

The tide of politics waxes and wanes in academia. Your whitewashing of Carl's record does not help reduce the role of politics in academia.

> Which work was poor quality?

Carl was spending his time publishing in a 'journal' that was published by a friend that had essentially no quality controls, where the content contained provocative racist claims not backed up by argument or evidence instead of doing the hard work of quality scholarship.

Violates the constitution? I’m not a constitutional scholar, but that sounds like a ridiculous argument. Article 1, section 3: “The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State…”

The 14th amendment introduces “equal protection,” speaks specifically about representation, and says nothing about changing the makeup of the senate.

(Edit: And even if it did, the 17th amendment restates that each state gets two senators, and would supersede the 14th.)
> Reminds me of the US General who, in WW II, insisted cavalry still had a place in warfare. Can’t remember his name.

Cavalry still had a huge role to play in WW2. You didn't ride them into battle (you didn't do that in WW1 either), but they were used for transport. Germany and Russia used 6 million of them.[1]

>I live in France where class warfare is still a thing, and living in a block with people of the other ethnicity is unthinkable (they raped my goddaughter, but that’s only one example of storied - they kill gays at the train station too, so I take my car).

Jesus, do you live in _Banlieue 13_ or something?

"They" ("the other ethnicity", as you put it) did nothing to your goddaughter. A criminal, on the other hand, did — and I hope they are paying a high price for it.

I live in France as well, and I share a block with many ethnicities. Without exception they've been warm, welcoming people.

Quite frankly, your comment exposes your racism. C'est une honte.
There’s no technical reason why your phone couldn’t do what you describe. But the goal here isn’t to maximize security or privacy, it’s to maximize convenience for the sort of person who already uses the same weak password everywhere for the sake of convenience.

“It protects the seed from different types of wildlife, but also supports the seed once it germinates and really helps deliver all of those nutrients and mineral sources that it needs, along with some probiotics to really boost early-stage growth."

No idea how credible this is of course.

I actually find obsidian is one of the nicer electron-based apps, up there with the likes of vs code.

Didn't find it bloated at all as it contains mostly functionality directly related to notes. The ability to support community driven JS plug-ins is just icing on the cake and search is blazing fast. I've got 10,000 notes in there and I can search through all of them using full and partial text search in less than a second.

Fascinating how we had such a completely different user experience.

This is one of the ongoing problems with discussion about "unions"

"Unions" in the US are very very very very very different legally than "unions" in EU and other nations, personally i think they are so different we need a different term for them...

The closest we have to a EU style union would be something like SAG, or the other entertainment unions, which often referr to themselves as Guilds.

The employment unions like being formed at amazon are different animals all together which have ALOT of downside for even the workers in them.
Very insightful, I never realized this. Thank you
Sure.

it's... it's beautiful... wishing Ralph good luck! his blog posts have taught me sooo much in the past. i particularly enjoyed the disclaimer at the end, a lot of these Rust projects aren't production ready but learning about their respective architectures is a great way to passively consume 'academic' paradigms/concepts. if anything, this is what keeps me interested in Rust! i don't have a formal background in CS, so new projects and their inspiration serve as a great gateway into more rigorous study.

edit: the potential for Python bindings is very interesting, it seems to me that Python and Rust are developing a sweet kinship :,)
In that case then the concerns of the workers could have been addressed by going over the heads of the senior managers to the higher-ups. Which provokes two questions:

- Why did it get to the point of a strike if this was just a case of bad internal communication?

- Does this theory really gel with how aggressive Amazon has been against unionization activity? Apparently they could have just met the concerns of the workers immediately.

EDIT:

> If GP is correct, then that signal would be,

On second thought: I am talking about the likely signal that they want to send to other managers, i.e. how they will interpret it. And to just spell it out: I think they will be more wary of associating with unions.
> Key to Supiot’s legal philosophy is the distinction between government by men—typical of the feudal period, with its personal allegiances and ties of dependence—and government by law

I would frame this using "government by men" speaking words at each other in contrast with "government by laws" i.e. men writing legally between them... i.e. orality vs literacy

This is important because of the relation between literacy and computability

> Techno-féodalisme argues that the rise of intangibles, usually concentrated at the most profitable points of the global value chain, led to the emergence of four new types of rent

two of them are more difficult to understand (I paraphrase):

innovation rents, which refers to valuable data sets that are the exclusive property of these firms

the technological capabilities to make this non-exclusive is here

and intangibles-differential rents refers to the ability of firms inside a single value chain to scale up their operations

If I understand correctly, this is possible because internet infrastructure is already non-exclusive

At the root of the issue, pretending that "intangibles"" are commodities and thus to enforce that they are treated as exclusive physical artifacts (merchandise) is to waste the potential of the internet (or, more cynically, to make a play to capture it privately)

This issue is even more complicated due to the distinction (or lack of) between "exploiting" and "harvesting" (with the assumption that one harvests what one has sown) digital assets; specifically "co-created" (i.e. aggregated) data of the like that gives facebook and google such a strong position in the "competitive market".

Why should "big tech" be allowed to keep their vast data troves private?

On one hand, there's no real technological limitation to the exclusivity of their intangible data-troves.

On the other hand, there's something to notice about how such exclusive concentration of data/knowledge generates a great amount of social and political power.

IMO, this is the strongest reason behind the drive to keep intangibles as exclusive; the power generated by their exclusivity and the use of such power to capture (privatize) energy and resources.

this is why sometimes I think that all of culture (specially contemporary academic culture) is but an elaborate ploy to rationalize away the grim realities of extractive post-imperialistic societies (states)

Finally, I argue my position that it's now crucial to deeply question old historical positions around the nature of property (and ownership); and hence, of markets and society, based on the magnitude of what the computer revolution truly entails. In my mind (biased by me being a millennial), computers are an innovation on the scale of writing (and thus, of law). The only other innovation I can think of in an even larger scale is that of ownership over land (which I consider as civilization itself).

Shame they don't seem to have a copy of the Bear versus Lion article. Wikipedia still has Tiger versus Lion and articles for Bear-baiting and Lion-baiting, but the Bear versus Lion article seems to be lost. Archive.org doesn't even have it. I'm quite sure it once existed though.

This is true, but as the author stated, the problem here is that TikTok does not provide any of the analytical tools that are provided by Google, Twitter and Facebook.

This means that there is nothing better than the site's user interface to use for research into the way TikTok is being used, which, for a billion user platform, is effectively useless.

Those of us who have background in technology easily dismiss social media as a source of credible information (a sad state, but also a likely intractable one on open platforms), and, as you say, it would be a dereliction to attach any credulity to anything there without first studying whole situation, which is essentially doing the same thing that a journalist does..

The problem is that billions of people are not so well versed in the ways in which the content of the social media platforms is manipulated. The research tools provided by the American platforms are an important first step in keeping the misinformation in check.

The fact that ByteDance chooses not to provide them is very telling in my opinion.
This is a really cool hack, I didn't know about that. It's another example showing that we really aren't conceptually that far from full fledged language support.

Most analog gear has SOME type of temperature control. Tempco resistors (low resistance change with temperature), thermisters (couple a positive response to a negative response to cancel out) or other techniques (e.g. heaters - get the circuit up to max temp asap and keep it there).

But none of that prevents temperature differences, they just control for them. And you wouldn’t use temp control everywhere - just where it’d effect the sound dramatically i.e. keeping your main voice oscillators in tune, not keeping your cowbell at a precise frequency
Electronic bike shifting is a bad example here imo. You do have to stay on top of the charging (you get about 20 hours of riding out of a single charge), but aside from that the precision and consistency is waaaaaaay better than anything that had come before it, at least from my perspective. I used to have to adjust my derailleur every couple of rides on my mountain bike, but with electronic shifting I haven't had to adjust it in _years_.
Planting trees the proper way isn't exactly costly in the first place (e.g. compared to the complete lifecycle cost of maintaining and many decades later eventually harvesting a tree - the planting is a trivial cost). It's a weird problem to tackle, well, since it isn't really a problem.
But you still need to replace the bits that do the cutting.

I've read through the section of this article which discusses the "Jewish Intelligence" page, and find the reasoning behind why we should be mad about the deletion to be extraordinarily weak compared to the explanation given by the editor (the editor that is then ad hominem attacked by the author of the article).

>People definitely notice speed and performance.

There's sort of a "Maslow's Hierarchy of User Needs" that exists in software though. So long as the user can do something, and their immediate needs are met, performance concerns are just a small annoyance. And generally they will continue to ask for more features rather than performance improvements as long as the app remains usable.
If you invite someone onto your submarine, and take them down to the bottom of the ocean, but then they suffer some accident and need to be taken back to the surface for medical attention, it isn't slavery for the law to force you to pilot the submarine to the nearest port.

No one ever mentions sex when it comes to conversations about declining birthrates in the western world. Its always very abstract discussions (immigration, free personal time, etc) around the main issue. No sex basically means no babies. It seems there is a latent western sexual crises no one wants to talk about.
Historically, no group has a right to unionize until they fight to earn it, usually through unionization.
I don't think the way the issue is currently framed is concerned about long-term extinction. All of the low-birthrate articles I read are from the POV of "how do we artificially prop up birth-rates to continue the infinite growth economy". The current "function" is built around optimizing on the wrong parameter. Structure your economy and society around human fulfillment, not infinite growth, and people will be more inclined to reproduce. This is never a point of discussion though because it goes against corporate interests.
The 10th Mountain Cavalry Reconnaissance Troop of the 10th Mountain Division, while not designated as U.S. Cavalry, conducted the last horse-mounted charge of any Army organization while engaged in Austria in 1945. An impromptu pistol charge by the Third Platoon was carried out when the Troop encountered a machine gun nest in an Italian village/town sometime between 14–23 April 1945.

anyway the point is not to go back to soldiers riding horses, but to not reduce the authentication options, because it also reduces security.

After all we still use keys to unlock doors and not our phones (because it would be stupid)
Higher quality equipment that needs a stable timebase will use ovenized oscillators with an integrated heater and a control loop to maintain a stable temperature. These are all inaccurate before they are up to operating temperature.
It is illegal to make it difficult to "Reject All" and those who do not comply are being fined. For example Google and Facebook:

"The CNIL found that Google and Facebook's failures to make non-essential cookies as easy to reject as to accept invalidated the consent on which the businesses relied. Whereas cookies could be accepted by a single 'click', a number of steps were needed to reject them."

...

"The CNIL stressed that consent must be freely given which implies that it must be as easy for a user to accept non-essential cookies as to reject them."

You have a choice to the extent that you're willing to be homeless and live without income and act in violation of the law. The rest of us are constrained in our choices by the society we live in and the expectations it places on us.

I want a cell phone that respects my privacy, but none exist on the market today so I have no choice. I still need a cell phone though since my work requires one. We also don't all have the same amount of choices. Those with fewer resources have fewer choices. People should do the best they can given their circumstances, but its worth trying to remove the artificial barriers which limit our choices where we can. Especially when those barriers are put in place to funnel profit into the hands of a small number of people at our expense.
Having watched the HVAC videos about restaurants and walking freezers with doors left open by new employees causing problems for hardware and their operation in general. Maybe that isn't best solution. Then again maybe returns on other side cover any such issues...

This looks great! I too have long been frustrated by the laborious process of making high-quality notes. I've approached the problem a bit differently, choosing to integrate with APIs and auto-generate notes from that structured information. I've found that when done carefully, this approach can solve especially well for the 'disconnected knowledge' problem.

I see your project uses import-from-csv to get cards into Anki -- you can make this significantly more user-friendly by utilizing the genanki Python package [0]. It spits out an apkg for you that you can just double-click on and import. The other side benefit is that you can keep a stable ID of the same cards over time, which means that if you want to eg update the structure or styling of already-exported notes, it is very easy to do so.

Show HN: Weron – A Peer-to-Peer VPN Based on WebRTC Written in Go
Hey HN! I just released weron, a P2P VPN that uses WebRTC for transport which I've been working on for the last couple of months. It can create both layer 2/Ethernet and layer 3/IP overlay networks, and the underlying transport layer can be easily embedded to write your own P2P apps with Go. Compared to for example Tailscale, WireGuard and ZeroTier, its much harder to block on a network level and also significantly easier to set up, while not sacrifing much performance.

I'd love to get your feedback :)

Teflon flaking off isn't hazardous--the whole point of Teflon is that the chemicals are polymerized into a very inert form. That's why food doesn't stick. They only become dangerous if they depolymerize--which is where the issue with overheating comes from. Heating an empty pan can reach depolymerizing temperature.
