The arguments in that source are pretty poor. For example, given the number of people who die from medical mistakes, people absolutely should be taking more of a role in their own care. They offer no objective evidence to support their position. They even claim that all sorts of social ills were lower during the period of secrecy and suppose they must be related.

I pay attention to what my representatives vote on the issues I care most about.

How do you know if your senator convinced people to vote for their bill if the process is secret? I could just be that they would have voted party line regardless.
What the public wants in Covid news vs. what the press provides
It's probably "similarly complex" but it's more complex at start because you won't have an OpenZiti overlay network already... So that's more complex for starters. Once you are familiar with OpenZiti it'll be easy. So there's an uphill swim for you since you're already familiar with SSH and firewall rules...

OpenZiti's big advantage here is that if those users pick up and move to starbucks, dunkin' or wherever - you don't need to whitelist an IP any more. it'll all "just work" because OpenZiti treats all networks as hostile/compromised following the zero trust networking principles. There's also a LOT of other stuff that OpenZiti will provide that is above and beyond SSH.

One other big factor is no open holes/firewall rules. That's a big benefit imo too.

So yes - there's a lot more flexibility with OpenZiti vs SSH/firewall rules. I don't want to just keep going on and on here (but i can :) )

Honestly, cryptocurrencies (I hate that these have hijacked "crypto" for their silly garbage, to me crypto will always be cryptography. Old man yells at cloud I guess..) just invite abuse. As a service provider I'd never offer cryptocurrency as payment if that service could be abused in one way or another. Just my experience, to each their own.
Instead of ruining computing forever, you could just say no to your imaginary family of people incapable of learning. Boundaries!
I guess if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail, even if you are Alan Turing!

Tangentially related, I have recently become aware of a sound similar to a bag of potato chips being crushed coming from the rear wheel of my mountain bike. Closer inspection showed that the rear wheel hub exhibited an unwanted additional degree of freedom with respect to the rest of the wheel. The hub was able to be moved slightly back and forth radially. "An excuse to get my hands dirty, and an easy fix", I thought foolishly -- it is only mechanics, after all, nothing that will not surrender immediately to the agile mind and nimble hands of a computer programmer! Fast forward 300$ in tools of and 4 weeks of attempts to fix this, which typically resulted in the purchase of a new specialized tool, and the bike runs again. I learned more than I had hoped about the vast number of very small metal balls that reside in a modern freewheel hub, and it was a good lecture in humility.
I think this is the best approach. Turn off the news, delete social media, commit yourself to caring for those around you. You need to focus on the stuff within your sphere of influence, otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy. There are good and bad things happening to the 7+ billion people on this planet each day, there is no way we can have an emotional reaction to every event.

Edit to add: regarding the recession, talk to your supervisors and others in your company. Are layoffs actually likely? What is the outlook? You should only worry if your company specifically is in trouble. Even then, we are in a highly in-demand field, there is a good chance you'll find a new job if you focus on doing excellent work here and now (be so-good-they-can't-ignore-you, as it were).

Right now I'd say the dominance is a thin veneer, as the winner takes all nature of each individual seat tends to hide the reducing margins by which each seat is held. The result based on seats is non-linear so when change becomes apparent it will appear to have come quickly.

As an aside, this discussion about the Australian system is relevant to the original question of how to depolarise the US. Australia looked to be following the US into polarisation stasis, but this week the preferential voting system has allowed a number independents to fill the void left by the major parties as they have gone off course. Time will tell, but the signs are that either the parties will have to adopt less polarised positions or drift off either end of the spectrum into oblivion.

Biggest offender are automakers. A giant touch screen that replaces physical knobs and switches is incredibly backwards thinking.

The ability to make quick changes to HVAC, radio, or heating/cooling settings is now requiring drivers to take their eyes off the road to drag a greasy finger across a virtual dial, it's pretty inane all things considered.
It sounds like they're involved in something legal that concerns estoppel.

If the tradition is to have many parties in the parliament and government, it's not going to be hung because MPs are used to talk and compromise. I say this with the Swiss perspective: even the government is always formed by the 4 most important parties and has to work together - if any minister handles against its own team it gets kicked out and replaced by another from the same party. This also reflects positively on the electorate itself which will have expectations of compromise and talks. And also allows for new parties to rise and have a real voice.

Edit: downsides: stuff gets moving slower (until they reach compromise...) and the electorate is less motivated (let them find a way among themselves...)
I've written architecture astronaut code of my own, so I saw this coming. Swift the language, and SwiftUI the gui toolkit, have a classic over-engineered magnum opus style to them. The generality and generic-ness just leak out all over the place. I also saw a bit of this early on in Dart and Flutter. From what I can tell they seem to have charted a better course and avoided getting stuck too deeply in their own perfection vision.
HTTP is not ok. Anyone can ready / modify what is being sent. This privacy intrusion will definitely happen, whereas the risk of being banned by "some external corporation" is low. And, you always have the option of self-signing your own certificate, which is at least as secure as using HTTP, and much more secure if you can verify the certificate via a side channel.
Has anyone gotten SwiftUI previews to work at all with a project that has more than 20 files or some dependencies?

My project utilizes Firebase as the backend and as soon as you add that dependency - SwiftUI previews never compile, due to build time outs.
> please buy brand name (=Makita)

This is probably better described as "not from an algorithmically generated name on Amazon", I think. Makita is great (I have their track saw, it's amazing)--but so are DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch, Festool, Metabo HPT (formerly Hitachi), and a bunch of others. Even the relatively "budget" flavors of those (Craftsman for DeWalt/SBD, Ridgid/AEG and Ryobi for Milwaukee/TTG) are solid tools these days; Ryobi still has its reputation from the days before they went neon green, but you'll see professionals using them these days because the battery compatibility guarantee is valuable. Even some of the more ancillary brands you'll see out there, like the new cordless Skil stuff (made by Chervon, who own the EGO line of garden power tools) are quite reliable; I have DeWalt and Makita stuff in my shop, but Skil's 12V tools live in the house and are fantastic.

More important than the brand name is usually the product tier, which is related but not distinct from the brand. Most of the brands above sell cheap tools, often as part of a set, and they're value-engineered until they scream. A bottom-tier DeWalt and a bottom-tier Makita and a low/mid-tier Ryobi probably aren't that different in terms of reliability, nor would the higher tiers of the above. (With some occasional exceptions; the DeWalt oscillating tool they currently sell is the best one I've ever used from any brand, with affordances that I appreciate more. Apparently they've sold particularly good ones for a while. But a drill's a drill, mostly.)

Power tools above the basement-tier have just all gotten really good in a relatively short period of time. Lemons exist for sure (though every time I hear about somebody breaking a drill during something as relatively easy as a house renovation I find myself asking whether they'd bought the cheapest one they could, as before), but overall? We're at a point where you can even make a decent argument for a Harbor Freight blue-flavored cordless set. I wouldn't, because old habits die hard, but you could. And whatever you buy is probably lasting two decades and not costing you a whole heck of a lot.

Agreed about the batteries, though. Don't buy cheap batteries.

It sounds like a really bad idea to have all software "components" be resolved, downloaded, and executed from over the internet. Seems like a supply chain/waterhole attack just waiting to happen.

Not to mention it would seem to sign away the devices ability to act autonomously or offline. Of course, with my views of Google, it seems very like them to design everything to constantly rely on them to even function.

Correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.
> The high school degree is necessary to ensure the person can understand the choices presented to them.

I disagree. I think any criteria for sortition harms it's legitimacy and creates an avenue to disenfranchise large segments of the population.

I am a big fan of sortition though, as I think elections select worse leaders with worse traits than the average citizen while the way we fund elections actively corrupts the few decent leaders we do manage to elect.

Edit: I also wouldn't support inserting sortition directly into our current selection process or ever for selecting a chief executive. Sortition only works if you have enough random picks to get a good representative sample. Otherwise the risks of selecting a massive outlier are to high.
What resources could I use to learn how to do this sort of work on my own initiative?
This change would supposedly enable this.
That's a reasonable bet, you're on. End of August deadline, my chosen charity would be the Green Beret Foundation (having nothing to do with the issue in question; I just believe that their work does direct good for those they serve).
America has historically been a group of people that so disliked where they were from that they would rather face death than remain there. As a result, the descendants of these people are bred to be pugnacious. Further more, the power of any government has been historically weak. This allowed people to have a live-and-let-live policy by default.

Since FDR/WWII, the Federal government is a behemoth. It is also the new god of the many of the people. This leads to the factions within the priestly class trying to grab as much power as possible. If you want to create natural balances that fit the psyche of America, you need to shed 20 trillion in debt, and collapse the Federal government to a size last seen before WWII (scaling for population growth of course).

Yes, because the PR requires there be no ground given on this talking point.
To be fair, though, I feel like the difference between SwiftUI and UIKit or XIB is much bigger than the difference between UIKit and XIB.

I don't have much practice with SwiftUI since I have to support some older iOS devices, but how awkward is it to do navigation between screens implementing with SwiftUI Views and those using UIViewController and friends? How does UINavigationController work into all of that?

A Massive Multiplayer Online Real Time Strategy (MMO-RTS) game.

I know it's utterly unworkable. But I want it anyway.

Imagine an RTS game that ... just keeps going. Both in time and in play area. Something like the Minecraft map in scale.

You play a few hours online with other people, log off, come back, and then you're still playing on the same map with the same resources, buildings, and units. Other people may have advanced and tech'd up, and now you can too.

I have no idea how to handle combat when a player is sleeping or making dinner. Or any other real conflicts. Maybe a timer of some sort? Maybe catching them sleeping is part of the fun?
Nothing like that! This is just a genuine TIL post :)
Its interesting how media arrests and use of force by army is not being talked about on western media as the people protesting although democratic are against western interference in their politics
This is the answer. If necessary, you livestream a call run on a separate service (think: a call of 5-20 people on Zoom, where the audio and video/screenshare is piped into YouTube).
Maybe that's the distinction - if you are making a product that needs to do exactly one thing (or category of things), it should not have a touchscreen, it should have a button and a dial (eg toaster, oven, hob, clock). If you cannot map all common uses of the product to a single button press and instead rely on context, a touchscreen might be the better option

Any ad you see in the US for a lawyer is a lawyer that operates this way. (otherwise we wouldn't have ads on the side of bus stops for them)

It's an arrangement called "contingency": https://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/contingency-l...

The downside is that a lawyer is likely not going to work with you unless they're sure they can get some decent money out of the case.
Because they're not actually political parties like other countries have; they have no memberships, they have employees. You can't join e.g. the Democratic party and start paying dues, instead you declare your Democratic party allegiance to the government, and it allows you to participate in the selection of the Democratic party candidate.

The two major parties created this situation through state and local legislation. It's absolutely bizarre that two private organizations who are responsible to no one but themselves have inextricably and exclusively bound themselves to the operation of US government. They avoided any constitutional questions by legislating locally instead of federally.

I don't see how that's meant to be superior to a single-party communist system. Is adding a "primary" step so much more democratic than just putting all of the primary candidates into a single election?
Approval voting still suffers from the tyranny of the mainstream parties. There will be conservatives who only vote for Democrats or Republicans, making it so that people who want real change by voting Green/Libertarian would have to not approve-vote their fallback D/R to have any chance of G/L winning. The main utility would be the public referendum on how much support each party has.

Score voting collapses to approval voting under strategy.

The right answer is "Ranked choice voting", but not with runoff but rather Condorcet. Condorcet specifies that the winner is the candidate who beats every other candidate in a pairwise matching. The single drawback of Condorcet - the possibility of having no Condorcet winner - is overblown. It's the equivalent of a tie in a plurality election. If the current standard tiebreaker mechanism is not good enough (eg another election), then the tie could be broken by taking the same ranked choices and translating them into a heuristic based on approval voting, score voting, etc.

Yeah a hybrid setup can work well although the decision is not necessarily between lights and a touch screen - a non-touch display with navigation buttons is also perfectly reasonable.

I was shocked at how easy it was for me to buy a gun. I knew long guns were fairly simple, but when I bought my first handgun I expected a more thorough background check, waiting period, anything. Instead I was able to walk out of the store within an hour with a handgun.

I'm not sure what the answer for disarming America is. Bad actors won't willingly relinquish their guns. Cops won't willingly relinquish their guns. If my threat model is armed I feel as though I should be too.

I definitely agree that raising the bar for ownership is a step in the right direction though.

A few sites I run into once in a while have the following bad setup, which HTTPS-only flags (because it's actually unsafe) but looks normal to most people:

1. http://www.example.com/ exists and redirects to http://example.com/

2. http://example.com/ also exists and redirects to https://example.com/

3a https://example.com/ works fine but

3b https://www.example.com/ does not exist

4. External links go to http://www.example.com/stuff/goes/here

You will also see the mirror image mistake (www.example.com is canonical, but the redirects go from example.com only on HTTP) at similar rates.

This is all because Tim chose not to rely on SRV records to make his toy hypermedia system work and decades later we're still paying for this (among others) mistake.
I'm not sure I buy this. There's many surveys that show that there are many issues that voters across both parties agree on. It's simply that catering to some more extreme elements of the party, so-called single issue voters can be more important because the parties don't loose votes over the issue from more moderate voters.
For me:

- Have a regular start time

- Have a morning checklist (mine just consists of "check email", "clear the github notification queue"

- If you're having trouble starting, just tell yourself, "I'll just open my editor, and jot down the first baby step for my current task, then I can slack off."

When I leave work in the evening, I generally add a todo task to my morning list (e.g. noting where I left off: "Get tests passing in the foobar branch and open a PR").

I find the "just open my editor..." thing really does work. It's the same principle as putting on your workout clothes when you don't feel like working out. It's just a mental trick to kick yourself in the ass.
It lives on in some ways.

For instance large-scale distributed databases today are basically what the Japanese Fifth Generation Computing project was working on.

Production rules engines today are niche products but you'll find at least one inside any bank. Today's rule engines are dramatically better than what people used in the 1980s when they were fashionable, both in terms of improved versions of the RETE engine and using hash tables to keep track of facts.

AI search is still a thing for semiconductor layout, chess playing (now with Markov Chain Monte Carlo, etc.) SAT solvers have improved dramatically, even more than production rules engines. The "semantic web" didn't take off in the wider community but ideas from the semantic web are a secret weapon used by many organizations to crush their competitors.

If you like Common LISP you'll like Novig's book. The ideas there are good for other kinds of advanced programming such as compiler writing.
I’ve never seen this here in the US. Sounds like a good idea!

1. The US isn't a "fully democratic country". It's a republic with somewhat democratically elected officials.

2. The Constitution isn't easy to amend. Congress can move to amend the Constitution, or two thirds of the governments of the individual states can do so, but the people themselves don't have that authority. (Otherwise you'd see evangelicals pushing amendment after amendment to rip out the Establishment Clause and declare that the US is officially a "Christian nation".)

3. I won't give up my firearms until the police give up theirs. All I've got is a lever-action rifle. They've got AR-15s, which is basically a M-16 that can't do full auto.
Swing states change over time, slowly, but they change. You can't view the EC and Senate through partisan analysis - their purpose is much deeper than that. It's more about why Nebraska is willing to give up quite a bit of sovereign power to be part of the US, and not about who wins the next election.
