Good news! There's a Twitter alternative that's open source and practically requires you to look under the hood: Mastodon.

In the general case I agree with your sentiment and this is why I believe open source and self hosted alternatives are important, because they are the escape hatch from all the problems inherent in corporate platforms.
If you think I do so be it, world would be a better place if we were to talk more directly putting apart puritans
It seems like a good reason to have a marketing co-founder if you're a tech/product person.
Kitze is a nice guy and an entertaining follow. I do think he needs to switch off more, however. He leans into tech in a very emotional way, and is very specific about what he wants. Which are good qualities, but they become bad when you can't switch off.

I think at one point he mentioned he stopped listening to learning podcasts when going for daily walks, and instead let his mind rest and enjoy the walk. If anyone feels like they are becoming their own worst enemy with their projects, then that sort of thinking is a good idea.

Having said that, he's also very successful with his other project. So he's a good follow, if you don't mind the trolling about web development ;)
WordPress can be used as a static site generator via the Simply Statuc plugin. It needs some thought into the design ( which plugins won't work because it isn't dynamic anymore), but it's a decent way of having the UX for non-developers/other very technical folk while having the security, stability, deployability and maintainability of static hosting.
Did the coup even exist? It looked like something faked/invented just to get rid of the opposition.
This is an important point, which I'd refine to: we have democracy in order to choose between competing goals and ideologies.

In theory, neutral experts could be used to determine the best policies towards the democratically chosen goals. And it actually works that way for the most part. The vast majority of stuff that goes through a parliament is stuff you never hear about, after all. They're like your car example. It's the few percent of topics where there's controversy where it's difficult, in practice, to find experts who will genuinely stay neutral - precisely because they're so controversial.
It always amazes me how anyone can be technologically literate and still think world governments should be given the benefit of the doubt when it comes to things like this. I agree OP, most people in government are probably not inherently evil or malicious but why should anyone trust that these initiatives won’t be poorly implemented and cause massive collateral damage to innocent lives?
It’s a hosted service, but Wachete has been watching some pages for me for years. For local, with more control, try scripting Selenium or Phantomjs with Python.
I doesn't. But politicians like to pretend that smart technology can solve all problems.
The "No"s are more important than the "Yes"es.

Focus is about saying "no" to everything else. You don't get focus by saying "yes" to the thing you want to focus on.

s/risk/hope. Bitcoin is a manipulable object of speculation - what purpose does such a thing even have?
In order for property taxes to be moral we have to ask what land is and what land does. Land is an economic good that is unlike any other. It captures the value of other people’s work just by existing. As the amount of income in a neighborhood goes up the land value goes up even if no one improves everything.

So there are substantial questions on why you are entitled to 100% of these gains you didn’t create. Short of libertarianism you’re not going to have a moral basis for a property right strong enough to justify it. And libertarianism is a terrible morass of bad philosophical ideas that don’t work.
"Not having your country run by corrupt gangsters", it seems from the context of the Orange Revolution.
>nobody wants to start falsely accusing innocent people.

Do you have a source for that? First, by triggering the filter, there's an assumption of guilt. The filter wouldn't trigger if there wasn't something bad there, right? Second, someone, somewhere is being incentivized in their job to increase the number of "detections" so they can increase their arrest numbers. Why would they want to "lighten their workload"? They're the cops. They just ask for more resources and get them.
Certificate pinning is a big problem for corporate environments: large companies install CA certificates in their endpoints to allow centralized traffic inspection. Apps that enforce certificate pining cannot operate properly in these networks.

It can be a desired function sometimes (e.g., a bank that wants to protect its customers) but in most situations it comes back at their face (i.e., bank customer wants to manage his bank account from his work office).

About your conclusion, I fully agree with you. It is not about protecting users but about protecting Google. Let's not ignore the other fact that Chrome started hiding some requests from its Network panel (e.g., CORS) for "our own good", which makes network-layer inspection even more necessary.
She didn't get censured for her spending or foreign policies, but because she dared to say out loud that Biden won the election and that the Jan.6 insurrection was a bad thing.
Not just "regular awk", but "regular most things", like head, tail, grep, etc. The "things" just need to be 8-bit/NUL handling clean and the data could even have binary fields. I mean, if there is a library like Python/Go/etc. that you especially trust to write a streaming converter then that is a fine approach, but otherwise see both https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31352517 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31352704 (at least!)

To be fair, among the USD-"pegged" stable coins, UST was the third largest and had about 10% of the market cap, until a few days ago. The fact that you hadn't heard of it is hardly pertinent.

Decorum and “personalization” are two different things that get muddled here.

Decorum is very useful for helping ensure behavior stays within limits and isn’t regretted later. Hardening your opponents’ hearts against you, or turning them into opponents because you acted like an asshole to them, probably doesn’t help your cause. Not that decorum is always useful (inviting Russian soldiers in for tea comes to mind) but on average it’s better than being abrasive.

Politics, on the other hand, are frequently personal. Spending bills for infrastructure or public safety less so, politics around what people can do or what is done to them (masks, vaccinations, marry, have sex, not get hassled by cops) much more so, and politics around things you own or control (build on wetlands, children’s education) in between. Politicians themselves sell themselves as people, personal embodiments of political agendas.

In a direct democracy, it would be entirely personal.
So many things to comment on this, but I'll just address two points.

One. Finland has not been phoning it in. There's a reason Russia has not invaded Finland after they we pushed the fuckers back during WW II. This is not remotely a case of the USA taking care of Finland's defense against russia. I invite you to participate in some of our joint military exercises to find out how things work over here.

Two. Russia cannot win. It has become painfully clear that their outdated mob-run cleptocracy of untrained looters cannot possibly win any type of war. Even with Russia's military doctrine where “send more men” is the main strategy, they cannot win. The math is clear. Russia simply does not have the power to win in any meaningful way.

The little I've looked at this, the NGOs he's into have been more liberal than far-left. They haven't really been "woke". I mean, Soros himself is of an older generation. Whenever I've listened to him talk, he's just come across as a post-WW2 liberal.

Governments are making it very difficult to respond in a more nuanced way, because they keep sliding down slippery slopes with predictable regularity when it comes to surveillance.

>interactivity is not the strongest points of Julia at the moment

Not sure what you mean. Julia has the exact same notebook environment (Jupyter) as R and Python. Fun fact: the “Ju” in Jupyter stands for “Julia” (the “pyt” and “r” stand for what you think).
You mean like we've figured out how to avoid social media destroying elections and public discourse? Or ad-tech from tracking everyone?
Hey, author of the article here. Thank you for making Heroku a thing. It is single-handedly one of the most significant catalysts for making my career happen. Without Heroku's free tier, I would have never been able to get started in tech.

Constitutions are usually written after major crises in a period of national unity supposedly with large if not universal consensus. The idea is that a simple majority is not enough to change them.

Not everybody agrees, for example in UK the parliament is the ultimate sovereign and it is not bound by law other than self restraint.
And yet you regularly hear of child porn cases in the US because a 17 year old girl sent pictures of her nude body to her 18 year old boyfriend.
Don't worry, as this is not about child sex abuse anyway.

The legislators know, from experience, that it's hard to argue against measures to protect children from predators, and so they are free to launch controversial and unacceptable measures. Once in place, it will be extended to other purposes.

The same as always.
Most people who want significant increases in things like a full LVT want to use them to remove other taxes like the income tax. I haven’t met a Georgist who wants a full LVT to grow government unless you count UBI/Citizen’s Dividend as growing government.
Absolutely, I didn't mean to apply "terrible" comparatively to other languages at the time, just broadly in terms of "it was terrible compared to the eventual heroku setup" really. These days a lot of systems make it much easier than it was then, but it's not a specific Ruby problem that has been fixed. Hope you're doing well these days, it's been a long time but I still think fondly of the whole Bitscribe gang. In retrospect it was a really special place and time. Lars and his Saab, trying to explain to Morten why I liked Indian food so much (facepalm moment there), meeting Ricardo at 3am for 24h korean barbecue (and getting mixed up on which restaurant was which, since the signs were in hangul), hacking on the netflix prize, griping about Harpoon...
Unfortunately, here's what will really happen:

5:30am, loud knock at the door.
You open the door a crack to see who it is. Cops bust in.
You're immediately handcuffed and sat outside.
Cops take anything with a screen, usb plug, etc. All your media. All your computers. All your external hard drives.

Every one of these devices will be imaged, and archived prior to being searched. The data will be kept for years, to protect against inevitable appeals, etc.

But you know, good luck with your plan.

"Instead of say, implementing a draft?"

That's taxing. They are no longer available for the private sector to hire are they.

As I said tax isn't about raising money. It's about releasing resources. As you've cleverly discovered, there is more than one way to do that - given government's monopoly on violence. Time, currency, land are all up for confiscation when you control the big stick.

Of course there's what to do with the hoard of cash the private sector isn't spending on hiring people, but perhaps you can read "How to pay for the War" and discover the mechanisms for dealing with that.
I find podcasts very relaxing. So relaxing that I often listen to them to fall asleep, especially ones where the presenter has a nice soothing voice. Very important to turn off the auto-play feature, however!
As someone who has been an arsehole and has worked with a fair share of them, I've come to realize that arseholes in a workplace are often a product of their environment. Anyone who is sufficiently overworked, undercompensated, interrupted, or mismanaged, is likely to become an arsehole given enough time.
As of 12:15:00 UTC it's back to $0.99. People in the US are just starting to hit their computers though so it will be interesting to see what shakes out there on the news it slid so much earlier in the morning.
Are you sure that's enough? Maybe homes should be built out of fully transparent materials. Don't want any internal rooms to hide in.

You could argue that both ways. "Here's a big amount. That's a moderate amount. And that is a small amount, with a tiny extra bit." :)
I'm generally shocked when an average person I meet can add fractions without a calculator. I think you wildly overestimate just how "basic" the understanding of arithmetic is for the vast majority of people.

Indeed hilariously naive.

Indeed. A currency peg is effectively an import subsidy/export tax arrangement. If the balance of payments is sound, it's easy to maintain. Otherwise it isn't, as you will gradually run out of export tax to pay for the import subsidy.

Please stop suggesting Hetzner for every random problem in existence.

I've been a happy Hetzner customer for years, BUT

1) They are cheap because they are comparable to a discount supermarket chain

2) They are not a cloud platform

2.1) They offer none of the advanced features available on modern cloud platforms

2.2) It would be almost impossible to build a PaaS like Heroku on Hetzner infrastructure

3) The latency to anywhere outside Europe is pretty bad (regarding EU data centers) and their network is not the best (regarding the whole network)

4) The cheap dedicated server offerings are consumer hardware (and possibly thus are the hosts for the cloud services), and the more expensive server hardware offerings are not necessarily cheaper than other options

5) They have consistent issues with their virtual/cloud offerings that are not remediable due to the aforementioned lack of advanced PaaS functionality

There is much more going on behind the scenes of a platform like Heroku than a single dokku instance on a budget host. You are comparing single apples to a global distribution chain of bananas.
1. Know when to listen to criticism

2. Know when to ignore criticism

3. Communicate directly to your users (Your users know what they want more than you do, it’s easy to control the project based on your preferences, but it’s not always the best idea.)

4. Stay organized Having emails, files, spreadsheets, financials, etc with a solid organizational structure will save you later.

5. Keep backups.

I’d love to see a citation for that. Lots of artists use it for demos, and it’s a good live tool, but if you look at modern pop it’s being produced with soft synths or Sequentials, Rolands, Korgs, etc.

The Left Alliance is the successor of SKDL, which started out as a thin disguise for the banned Finnish Communist Party after the Soviets arm-twisted the Finnish government into allowing it. Obviously their politics have been diluted since the early days, but older folk recall their heritage well.
"Maybe this is actually obvious, but it's still a common mistake in startups so I'll say it - you don't have to believe your product is good to start selling; you just have to be better than not having the product.

Tether IMO is a completely different story. What does it have to back up the peg?
At this point, everything encrypted at rest will be a must.
GDPR is aimed at local small and medium businesses. They will get destroyed by fines if they save the email address of their customers wrong according to some very complicated elaborated made up rules by the unelected EU commission. Big companies can afford the bureaucratic overhead and all state actors get huge exemptions and can basically collect as much data as they want. GDPR is a ruse.
If you have one project that’s already successful, however, it’s probably best to keep focusing on that and not be distracted by the one that never shipped.
And the national government excuse usually is, that they do it according to EU rules, directive or whatever.

Denying responsibility at all levels at its finest.

There are rare examples of resistance, like the attempt of Czech government to resist the EU firearms directive by putting the right to self-defense with a gun into the constitution. But mostly they just fold over.
I mean that's cute and all, but why are your parents taking pictures of naked children and publishing them online? That's making assumptions about the channel used to send them and the phone itself being secure. Better to not risk it - not because of this legislation, but because of anyone else that might be listening in.
Given the cost of child birth in the developed world it would be quite economical to send each child home from the hospital with a government video monitor which must be kept in the room with them, to enable random (and ML) surveillance, just to make sure they're not getting molested, you know.
This is a nice tool to see what's actually changed, useful!

Also, I don't understand how it's not a legal requirement to show an easy to understans view of the changes made when a company changes the terms of your agreement with them.

Almost every company sends a "we've updated the terms, yay!" with little to no details on what's actually been changed. A few provide a high-level overview of the supposed purpose of the changes, which I suppose is a start.
AIUI compilers treat inline ASM as an entirely opaque block they cannot mutate or assume much about, so if you're inlining 100 lines of ASM, you will get the ASM you asked for, for better or worse.

(Treating it as completely opaque is, I believe, also why you can get away with things like inlining AVX2 ASM on an -mno-avx2 build, for example.)

State and local government can issue currency if they want to.

And yes, maintaining the peg and free movement means that the higher level government does decide what to give them. That's what giving up sovereignty at a lower level implies.

Even at local level, they need manpower, not land. So you end up relying on fungibility.
> If anyone's read the full proposal, does it specify what types of communication they want to monitor? It seems unlikely that providers like Google and Meta are just going to turn off their E2E encryption and let the EU plug in their cable.

> Anything else (like just monitoring national providers) will surely just be pointless.

The proposal talk about keeping E2E encryption, but providees should still have a way to detect content.

From page 27:

> [...] this Regulation leaves to the provider concerned the choice of the technologies to be operated to comply effectively with detection orders and should not be understood as incentivising or disincentivising the use of any given technology, provided that the technologies and accompanying measures meet the requirements of this Regulation. That includes the use of end-to-end encryption technology, which is an important tool to guarantee the security and confidentiality of the communications of users, including those of children. When executing the detection order, providers should take all available safeguard measures to ensure that the technologies employed by them cannot be used by them or their employees for purposes other than compliance with this Regulation, nor by third parties, and thus to avoid undermining the security and confidentiality of the communications of users.
