I am not suggesting that value is always recognized. Plenty of people start as A player and become B player etc. It is possible if you don't get taken care of by the team/company. However, regardless of whether you are recognized or not, you CAN be replaced once your cost doesn't justify your output and that is a fact. Nothing idealistic about it. Whether that analysis by the company is correct or not, doesn't matter for the purpose of this discussion.
> That receptor is known to be profoundly immunomodulatory

Any change for a layman's explanation on what that means? This seems super fascinating but admittedly above my understanding.
Agreed but having clauses "c" and "d" can be abused.

If the usage outlined is illegal, then there's no need to add it to a license agreement as the type of use is prevented by law.

If it's legal then there's always the possibility to prevent usage by claiming it violates the terms outlined.

Love it. The "studio ending" makes it even more Orwellian, to the point I wonder if they did that on purpose. (Can that much competence be true?)
The UK doesn't even have a national ID, The US would be at war if that was the requirement and here in Denmark I can have my drivers license as an app.
In the internal logic of these claims, it's not "defeatist" so much as looking at things as they are. A complex society will always have elites, as a simple matter of structure. The remaining question is whether those elite social positions should be legible or not. It's not about renouncing egalitarian ideals at all, it's being serious about pursuing them to the greatest feasible extent.

> why lean to "let's just anoint the rich" over "let's more aggressively limit them"?

The two can easily go hand in hand. In Classical Greece, being publicly acknowledged as "rich" meant that you would be forced to pay for public works. (And the public valuation of your assets was backed by an offer to exchange them for cash! So if you thought that the valuation was too high, you could take the offer and be better off in the end. How much is a Harvard tenured professor position worth, in the modern day and age?)

> Except I'm struggling to see why the elites would actually want that if it's not about formalizing and ENHANCING their power.

Because trust is a positive sum game. Lack of transparency is only an advantage to those who plan to take advantage of it. This is how more limited and legible ("formalized") power can translate to enhanced power.
Hey, OP here.

I'm a heavy proponent of "we play (at work/in prod) like we practice (in personal projects)", so that idea of TDD/LP as "peformance approach" is interesting. Thanks for that.

And on the tension between initially "after the fact" rationalization vs as-you-go LP, I tried to keep myself honest: The git repo has tags for each feature's initial completion[1]. One can indeed compare how the features were initially written vs how they ended up after the (heavy) editing passes. As you'll see, it's more than just more explicit text, there's a few bugs/warts that I cleaned up. Definitely felt this tension of "I can make it better" vs "I should keep the narrative intact".

> In 2022, we are met with self-sabotage and protestware incidents that are on the rise: colors/faker, node-ipc, event-source-polyfill, styled-components, es5-ext

You raise a very good point about self-sabotage and protestware. I'm reminded of the left-pad debacle from some years back that fell in the former category.

Protest via libraries is new and interesting, but I suspect boils down to a matter of acceptable licensing, liability, and guarantees.

While well intentioned, I have some anxiety that protests through dependencies that operate in production environments could cool adoption of open source projects. The solve for this will likely be more attention paid to governance of open source components--which is something I already encourage.

What trends are you folks seeing with protestware? There is a real need to spread these messages, but I don't see many consumers of said projects being receptive to their platforms assisting without consent.
If you are in the market for alternatives, I highly recommend Process Hacker in lieu of the powertoys version.
I'm curious, while writing the commentary, did you feel conflicted about what perspective to write from? The evaluation order of code isn't linear, it's more like a directed acyclic graph (or at least a directed cyclic graph that eventually terminates), and so what you want to write for a certain area of code might change depending on how it is called.
Is "topological dependency order of cells" different from what an average person would understand from saying "dependency order of cells"?
I've received damaged products from AliExpress a handful of times and found their resolution team/procedures to be fantastic.

You can submit a claim which the seller responds to. If the seller doesn't respond fast enough, AE steps in and suggests a couple resolutions (usually something like a partial refund with no product return, or a full refund if you send the product back). You can then negotiate or just accept one of the suggestions. Absolutely 0 hassle or talking to a person. You click a few buttons and get your money back.
Aren't you also trusting that their client actually renders all the keys in use though?
Of course it doesn't hold up to modern standards 25 years later. But at the time it was released, it was considered outstanding and revolutionary. I mean c'mon, you could shoot guards in the groin and they would slowly fall to the ground clutching their junk in agony.

Ads are not featured in the "Live" section of their app. TikTok makes more money from their gift economy (TT takes a cut when a user buys "coins" to send to another user) and then taking 50% from the content creators when they attempt to withdraw those gifted coins and turn them into cash.
Ye gods and little fishes, is there a new-ish language suitable for application programming, which has a more-or-less feature-complete design and implementation, and where there's no petty drama going on every other day? And which, to boot, lets you get a job done without requiring/strongly suggesting that you become a part of their vibrant community?

A have a sinking feeling such language exists and is called "C".
"most people", was in my comment. Many of your examples are non-common, special, too.

For example, this thread is about someone in the city, taking a walk (eg, to the corner store or some such), and not feeling safe.

It's all about stats, likelyhood, etc.
That's why I run an XMPP server for my family/friends and refuse to install any centralized messaging app.

That's what I'm saying. In the terminology of systems theory, the value of a stock over time tells you rather little about what's going on in the system compared to knowing both inflow and outflow.

So in reply to the posters who said I could still have used a phone: I could not. I had an Apple iPhone of exactly the kind covered in the class-action lawsuit, of which there was one in Chile, and I was eligible for the payout, still am in fact, it's like 170 dollars. But I haven't.

So I left that one at home, and in fact one of the people who came grilled me over and over as we walked down Victoria Subercaseaux "why didn't you bring your phone?" "WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING YOUR PHONE?"

Well I told him I had a similar phone, just no radio, and was connecting to the Walmart subsidiary's wifi with it, explicitly ordering the guards for the password after the cashier, CE NEWEN according to the receipt, made her premeditated apology. But surprise, screaming worked. It actually worked better! It was much better for someone else to call on my behalf than for me to call myself. And secondly, too predictable, they can tear the phone out of your hands, these guards were in gang-up beating mode, so they would not have tolerated a phone, the obvious choice. Very impatient and there were six of them, apparently armed.

When I got home and received a call, the phone I was supposed to take, its battery died. So battery would have died calling people on my own behalf, when the battery dies unexpectedly, the battery meter acts weird, it's not like getting locked out, when it dies it's a brick, you can't call emergency services.

I couldn't slowly put anything on the ground, these guards were in Fuck the Law mode. Evidently, because they never had any interest in my receipt, or my testimony. Six, 6 guards, shepherding me coercively back to the Walmart subsidiary where they controlled all the cameras and knew the terrain, could make up any shit they wanted. And a lawyer that came, called Nacho, told me exactly that, these guys don't like calling police because they want that power for themselves.

The uniforms say SWAT on them, S-W-A-T, supposedly it's SWAT-branded private security apparel, nothing to do with American Special Weapons And Tactics like in the movies. Like Apple computer having nothing to do with apples, just a brandname, "nombre de fantasía", it's not like actual fruit. So they're trying to intimidate people with the power of the law, precisely so people don't dare defend themselves, to imply their victim will get accused resisting arrest.

Yep, remember doing that once or twice in halo 1.

Ultimately, screen cheating is a feature.

Halo worked well as the pistol (starting weapon) is all you really need. So there’s no massive disadvantage on spawn.

I remember playing online 2v2 (halo on xbox, there was no online so it was actually system link, lan, run over the network. Bloody hard work from Australia) in which screen cheating is most definitely a feature.

Nothing more bonding for two brothers to duke it out 1v1, and then discover you’re leagues ahead of everyone online in 2v2.
Under GDPR, a company may retain personal data if it has a legitimate interest in doing so. To what extent this applies here, I do not know.

You might have a chance to successfully challenge the termination by legal means, if you actually did not violate Ebay's terms and conditions.
There's a neat little rhetorical trick you're doing here:

> A complex society will always have elites, as a simple matter of structure. The remaining question is whether those elite social positions should be legible or not.

"Whether or not they should be legible or not" is not the only remaining question. Nor, I think, is "legible" the right word for what seems like it's being proposed - a return to "aristocracy" is not about just labeling, it's about formalizing and legitimizing power. Legible is a flashlight, not a scepter.

In recent history it's not even a particularly primary one compared to "how much should we tax, regulate, and break up those elites." In more violent revolutions, it's also been "should they get the guillotine?" You're talking purely legibility and not "accountability" or "what happens next." I think things are legible enough that we could hold the powerful more accountable than we do today if we wanted to. Making Peter Thiel a Duke isn't going to help.

And that violent example is a particularly important thing to remember if you're tempted to trust the elites to not hide and obfuscate even while making claims of "just making things legible." I don't think "should it be legible" is a particularly interesting question because I don't trust them to play by the rules anyway. When have they before?
If the client is entirely in the browser, it doesn't particularly matter if they give you some keys to scan. You don't know what it's actually doing, or how the keys are generated.
Ooh, his "earnings"

See, in 2010 he was worth $12.6 billion. In 2011 it was $18.1 billion. Then in 2012 went up to $23.2 billion. These figures apparently come from Forbes, who calculate this stuff.. see https://www.therichest.com/lifestyles/jeff-bezo-years-earned...

I guess he didn't "earn" that money though.. so would definitely have been entitled to a benefit for folk who don't earn so much? My bad...
> My choice probably won't affect that much in the larger picture. Maybe it will?

if everyone thinks that it won't affect the larger picture and do nothing, it probably won't... but who knows... maybe a better alternative popping up is all we need...

The US has no requirement to carry your ID. I'm not sure there's any base requirement to have ID.

You only need your driver's license if you're driving, and ID in general is only required for certain activities that directly require identification or use the ID to confirm other information (eg age when buying alcohol).
That's just for the video showing it off, they say when people are playing it for real they'll arrange the screens facing away from each other
Try to reformulate the phrase avoiding negatives. It doesn’t mean the same.
One concern I noticed when talking to late stage B2B SaaS was how many of them are doing massive scale consultancy work to drive growth.

>The major social media platforms are, in some hard-to-define way, essential to modern life. Call them town squares. Call them infrastructure. They exist in some nether region between public utility and private concern. They are too important to entrust to billionaires and businesses, but that makes them too dangerous to hand over to governments. We have not yet found a satisfying answer to the problem of their ownership and governance.

We had this problem with television and radio. We privatized them in the US and the regulated them with the FCC. Why is this not possible with social media platforms and why wouldn’t it work effectively?
If you’re just a code monkey then yes. Regardless there is currently more demand than supply for experienced developers
I think you are overly discounting time zone. Someone working remotely, but within 3 time zones, is much easier to collaborate with than someone 9-12 timezones away.

I agree wholeheartedly with the fact that China is looking at Ukraine. What it shows is that an invasion would set up a chain reaction that would disrupt international order with very negative effects for its economy and strategic goals. Obviously there will need to be another way. Diplomatically China has been getting good wins in "the other way".

Russia also has nuclear weapons and even she does not use it for this invasion. Nuclear weapons have a great effect on public opinion including domestically as it is clearly a weapon of mass destruction/murder. Actually any form of offensive is faux pas and most beligerants avoid calling it a war. It is always framed as a defense of something, see Russian "special military operation", see American "liberation" of Afghanistan or Iraq. Likewise the Chinese would call it "taking it back" and a mere domestic affair. A nuke is clearly a form of total war.

Dropping nukes is taken in the last resort doctrine, and there is no historical precedent of euphemism in its use.

Speaking of which, a country's nuclear weapon usage doctrines are public so that coexistence can exist and mistakes do not happen. People talk as if commanders can consider nuclear weapons as standard part of the arsenal but that is not so. It is one of the few weapons which likely would lead to the total destruction and thus defeat of a state due to the Mutual assured destruction concept.

A great example is the Pakistani nuclear weapon doctrine[1]. It is so clear that i almost wish all countries would have nuclear weapons. India and Pakistan would have had murderous wars if not for them. Instead they are the stick that allows for softer talk.

I'd join the overall praise here, but some design choices in Scapy are quite weird and the implementations for many protocols are just plain terrible. Granted, that's not the fault of the original designers, since those protocols just fly around on Github, but geez are some of them bad..
New Zealand for one. You don't need to carry an ID at all times, only if you're driving do you need your driver's license. However, if you're detained by the police you are required to identify yourself, but this does not need involve your physical ID.

Is it really common in other countries that you legally need your ID on you at all times?
Turks and janissaries.
In the US there is no such requirement. An ID is only needed to buy restricted products/substances (alcohol, certain medications, guns), to drive, to vote, or similar: cases where you either need to prove who you are or prove how old you are.

The Wikipedia article on the subject[0] is incomplete, but the only countries whose laws it specifically describes (Germany & Sweden) do not require carrying the ID with you. Rather than it being the norm to require ID, I'm having a very hard time finding out any countries that do require it.

Do you not think these limits are being tested and shared already? I ran into a temporary ig ban when getting rid of a number of people I followed. When I searched for answers the limits were everywhere being discussed.

Before bug bounty programs this was the reason given for not disclosing security issues. All it did was keep the issues underground not fixed and allowed security bugs to exist forever.
This is an incredibly difficult plugin to search for. Can you post a link to it or provide the author's name?

Kind of the opposite of diversification though. Houses burn down and neighborhoods change, sometimes for the worse. I knew someone that bought a house in 1972 for $70,000 and sold it in 2015 for about $70,000. Real estate is not all roses and candy.
The game being hard was part of the appeal. It took skill. Maybe arguably dumb skill on the wrong areas - but skill. I’m not impressed that modernizing and switching the input methods made it “better” because my respect for them as a player will still come from how well they can do hobbled in the same way as myself.

Edit: one such strategy is using odd job, the most derided of strategies because you were basically taking advantage of how difficult it was to use the Z axis. Screen cheating was generally not that big a deal because you could do it just as well as anyone else. It was more so “honor in doing so” that was a problem.
There is more of this kind of thing around recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31292298

I would imagine that for people that actually care (whose threat model involves governments targeting them specifically), then they're aware of all the tradeoffs involved and can make informed decisions (and know how to use more secure, harder to use platforms). For everyone else, I think "e2e encrypted by maybe twitter is lying to you" is no worse than the current state of play.
Indeed a large appeal was the technical marvel of have a 4 person split screen game of such magnitude. Very different from the relative simplicity of Mario kart.

Edit: it also bothers me that despite our progress on all technological fronts we still get halo as the best split screen fps experience.

Edit 2: also still love playing OG 007 with friends who come over because if you didn’t figure out how to prevent screen cheating you never learned how to actually play.
Maybe the relation is not as direct as we might think at first.

Maybe the vitamin D deficiency is keeping people from going out more, which makes them feel isolated, not engaged fully with their friends and family which, in turn, pushes them to depression if they're prone to it.

And that may explain why it seems that, as the writers of this paper mentioned, when some of the subjects get vitamin D the depression goes away. This can be caused by the effect of the intake on their ability to gain their more active way of life.
> In the justice system of most western countries, the general trend is: "Rather 10 criminals who go free, than one innocent person behind bars".

As someone with almost a decade of experience in the criminal justice system in the USA, it is pretty much the exact opposite. Of the dozens of prosecutors I know, I can't think of a single one that would care if someone is innocent of the crime for which they are charged.

Eating bread every day is actually pretty common in some cultures and people don't even stop to think it's unhealthy because it's so commonplace, so even that varies.
As I was reading OP's story I flashbacked to my first introduction to technology at that age. I'm most grateful for them raising me intellectually curious, reading to me at a young age, and to never say no when I asked them to buy me a book.

My father (84 now) is up to date with technology, he gets the mechanics and can perform his tasks (windows, android, roku) but I don't think he has a conceptual model of how any of this works. It was fascinating to me growing up, if you gave him a budget for buying a computer he could spec out the best "bang for your buck" knowing 8GB RAM > 4GB RAM and a 1Gig HD is > 500 MB HD without actually understanding what the components were. He was never interested in that level of detail, just show him how to click and do it.

This comment is though, but ironically as a reply to a comment demanding things be kept on topic that moves things further from the topic.
