Bookchin's willingness to pit autonomy v. freedom against each other is the big weakness of this essay. What is autonomy without freedom? What is freedom without autonomy? The reality is that these necessitate one another, not that they contradict one another. Same deal with his characterization of the individual v. society: contrary to what he asserts, society is the product of individuals just as much as individuals are the product of society. To suppress any individual is to suppress society, and to suppress society is to suppress every other individual.

At the end of the day, there is no "individualist anarchy" or "collectivist anarchy" because both individualism and collectivism, when taken to their logical conclusions, produce the very unjust hierarchies to which anarchism is fundamentally and definitionally opposed. A stateless - i.e. anarchist - society by definition is unable to elevate the individual over the collective or vice versa, nor should it attempt to do so - because, again, doing so would only serve to suppress both.

Either Bookchin doesn't realize this (I seriously doubt that) or he does but decided to throw the entirety of non-collectivist anarchism under the bus to dunk on hippies - which I mean, sure, go for it, but one can dunk on hippies without spending a third of the essay on what boils down to "Kropotkin rules and Stirner drools" and another third on "collectivism is more anarchist than individualism because reasons".

WTF happened to the Web? (Simpsons avatar creator edition)
About 15 years ago, I used a Simpsons avatar creator to create a fake headshot for me, which I used (and am still using) on gravatar.com

In 15 years, I've aged a bit, so figured it was time to update my look.

You will be shocked to learn that
(A) the awesome free Simpsons avatar service is no longer avaiable and/or
(B) all attempts to google for the free service are SEO'd to hell.

Sigh.
I feel old (but my gravatar looks great!)

No, they didn't buy GitHub to shut Atom down. But they did create VSCode to cut off GitHub's growing expansion of their business through Atom. They could have just extended Atom with Azure plugins etc, but instead they essentially forked it and poured tons of resources and hundreds of developers into it. That effort helped suppress the valuation of GitHub, so that they could buy it for cheaper (or at all?).

The revenue generating upsell for VSCode is already here and it IS GitHub Codespaces. They are going to add features you can't live without based off code synthesis (sky's really the limit here) and gate those off saying it can't run locally because it's too resource intensive. They'll charge you (or your company) by the second for all usage.

It would be much harder or impossible for them to do this if Atom and an independent GitHub had been further entrenching in this space for the last decade.

Many of the biggest developer tooling projects big corp are building now existentially threaten smaller developers and apps, by design.

Don't give Microsoft a pass here.

> "General purpose computation on your own machine is probably going to be illegal in 20 years"

Yeah this is exactly my worry with these things. I don't mind the cloud being a thing. But I don't want to be forced to use it. Especially in my private life - work can decide what tools we should use there, that's their prerogative.

Though I personally think it won't come that far but that the real barrier will be that we just won't be able to but decent PCs anymore because everyone will be using what amounts to thin clients (think Chromebook etc)

> Building was evacuated within 4 minutes.
> Concerning the construction, how common is it to have a 1-h fire resistance?

Fire rating requirements are for human safety and not really property safety. In this case, 1 hour rating was more than sufficient for everyone to exit.

The type of use/occupancy of the building generally sets the requirements; I don't know requirements for data centers. 1 hour is kind of the start of enhanced fire ratings; some things might not have a requirement of even 1 hour, others may have more. A large enough fire rating (again, depending on use), may be considered a firewall which can be used to consider each side a seperate building for fire planning purposes. A smaller, but still large rating may be needed to partition spaces with different needs. Higher ratings are common for stairwells, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were required for the battery room and other areas of concentrated risk.

> Why don't we convert all the power to DC in a central location before feeding DC power to the servers ?

Some datacenters do run servers on DC, typically phone companies, and typically -48VDC. This has pros and cons. You may simplify power conversion from batteries, and the ac -> dc input step will likely clean the power, too. But 48v is much lower than common AC voltages, and lower voltage means more current for the same power, which means more loss in transmission and larger conductors required and more heat generated as well.

You still need individual power supplies on each computer, as you need to go from -48v to +12v (and maybe some others, depending). Historically, DC/DC voltage conversion was much less efficient than AC/DC, but that's less true today.

Well designed AC switching can happen at the zero crossing, which can reduce arcing, which is sometimes useful.

That may say more about her than CS in general. I remember my very first encounter with Angular I made my seniors investigate how the hell double way binding could even work that way to have them confess to me that yes, we had 40k repeating functions running every n seconds to check variable states... for a static website whose double binding was just a first render time convenience. No wonder our mexican clients with shit phones couldnt load the site as well as our iphone-heavy Hong Kong ones. And it was my very first day on Angular.

How can she not be curious, Angular is so wrong and magical, it blows the mind to understand how it builds all that magic. Maybe your sister in law is the kind of persons who laughs at magic tricks ? I d be raging mad myself, I prefer to avoid them or Ill just be obsessed until I understand them

Meta Platforms engineering chief to exit that job
I had not pushed a project public in a while and recently had to kick something off and I hadn't been testing fully to get things into open space. CORS/CSRF and really getting my head back in the space of SSL being properly handled took me way longer than I'm comfortable to admit. These are things that I consider myself fairly comfortable with but chops had atrophied and browser enforcement leaves less wiggle room for failure. Also static file management really tapped me in my nuts.

It's really easy to think you've got it all figured out when it's just running on your local machine or a private network or to quote Mike Tyson "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth."

This experience has reinforced for me how critical getting CI/CD is to the process of taking something from a sketch pad to something that no only ships but other people can work on. Not saying that has to be a huge production, but it's just as crucial as how to post a form or connect to a data source. Looking at you JS bros that think they can cobble together an ORM that won't be a massive chore.
Honestly by that logic the British have a stronger claim, they sunk the ship.

(Both claims would be/are farcical)
I disagree, because wherefore is basically an archaic word that people use to conjure up images of Shakespearean English. It's usage hasn't really evolved in common language, it has stopped and gets used for an olde timey feel.

Contrast this with "begs the question" which is still used and, at least 15 years ago, still had pedants up in arms when it's usage didn't match the original meaning
I don’t claim fraud, but I do have procedural concerns.

I’m of the understanding that ballots stripped from their envelopes were transported to counting centers.
Perhaps bribing one driver would be sufficient to swap 1000s of ballots and there would be no trail.

I find the following from
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/feb/05/gateway-pu...

“””
Only after ballots were validated were they delivered to the TCF Center for election workers to process and tabulate them.

Shane Trejo, a writer for the right-wing website Big League Politics, told the Gateway Pundit that he was at the TCF Center where he said he witnessed thousands of ballots being unloaded early Wednesday morning. "There were at least 50 boxes that I saw unloaded at 3:30 a.m.“””

It’s my understanding that the validating process results in the naked ballots being placed into boxes for delivery to a counting center.

The linked article debunks that the ballots were late, but that is not my concern.

I was going to write more about Georgia but then I came across this article which eliminated most of my concerns there. I don’t know why it took a whole year before this was printed though.

https://www.marketwatch.com/amp/story/investigators-locate-n...

I did see some of the audits, which mostly removed my concerns of cheating.
However there were claims in Georgia of mail in ballots that appeared marked by computer and I knew there was going to be a court case on this, but I never saw any reporting on this case. The above article says there were never any such perfect ballots found.

I think the perfect ballot is where my fears come from. Where in the chain could you swap out ballots and put in generated ballots.

By setting your age to 7 you locked yourself out. Possible they won't allow you to change the birth date and you'd be locked out forever.

You need your dwarves to be idle from time to time, otherwise they are overworked.

Incidentally, the dwarves _do_ get symbols over their heads when they are hungry, thirsty, wounded, insane, etc. Also, the appearance of each dwarf is based entirely on that dwarf’s profession.

yeah that's a decent point, it's completely possible to amass the same amount of equity in a different asset class and use the proceeds from that asset to pay your rent. That's approximately the same as being mortgage free & having the taxes & maintenance covered...

You do get less freedoms as a renter though. Like I've never had the option to choose any kind of paint, tile, carpet, on demand water heater, reverse osmosis water line etc etc.

50th Anniversary of the Mother of All Demos (2018)
Note, however, that in some places, it is OK to combine the name + title for disambiguity, instead of relying solely on the attachment of an ordinal number.

e.g. for your father's sister, who is the 3rd child, you could say either:

- 三姑 ("father's sister, 3rd in birth order"), or

- 艷姑 ("father's sister, Yan"), if she has the character "艷" in her name.
The printed paper "ballot" may not be what the voter intended.

There are multiple stories of electronic voting machines changing the vote on the screen. The voter corrects it, and the correct ballot is printed. But, if the voter misses the change, then an incorrect ballot is printed. Sometimes, the voter has to correct it more than once.

Here in New Hampshire, we use paper ballots marked with a felt tip pen. They are scanned with an optical reader, but it's straightforward to do a manual recount of the official paper ballots.

Electronic balloting machines are an invitation to programmatic fraud.

I attended a Free Software Foundation annual meeting some years ago. The assembled group was asked whether they preferred electronic voting systems over paper ballots. Not a single hand went up.

You seem to have an implicit assumption that there will necessarily be some amount of "support/onboarding/custom feature development" needed.

For the vast majority of your users, I would expect the amount of installation-engineering required to be zero. For every big business on an Enterprise plan of a SaaS like e.g. Cloudflare, there are 10 or 20 accounts for customers just as big(!) who are on their Business plan — which is basically the same feature-set, but without any of the high-touch custom stuff. Because they don't need any of it, in order to get all the value they need from the SaaS.

In other words, it feels like you have an Enterprise plan, but no Business plan. It's pretty easy to construct one — just assume any high-touch stuff doesn't happen. What's the base cost, per user?
>'Fascism' is a pejorative dog whistle, when people hear it they think "enemy" - because in WWII the Italian and German governments were fascist.

>In fact, fascism, as I understand it, developed as a "third way" on the European continent.

Correct.

As you wrote, we naturally associate fascism with the Nazis invading neighboring countries and committing genocide, but its behavior was aberrant. Half of Europe was fascist/right-wing authoritarian in some form between the wars, including Poland, Austria, and Hungary, none of which started a European war; Italy only started one in Ethiopia. To put another way, Hitler's extreme anti-Semitic and anti-Slav attitudes were independent of his calling himself a fascist.

Mussolini in Italy invented fascism—the bundle of sticks and everything—but the "meh" attitude Italians have about fascism today (complete with Mussolini's granddaughter's longtime political career) is because the Italian variety of totalitarianism was never anything like the Nazis or Soviet Communists in its cruelty. Italian fascism always had substantial Jewish leadership and popular support, and Mussolini imposed anti-Jewish laws in the late 1930s only after substantial pressure from Hitler—by then clearly with the whip hand in the two countries' relationship—to do so.
And just to be clear to you, the rest of the article was great. I think there was three or four points that I was going 'but ...' and then the next sentence you explicitly mentioned exactly that. Very well put together.

Under this segment you say 'and it never is' implies that it's just really difficult, you can be even more forceful here - it's impossible. Sirlin's article on Viable Options[0] goes into depth here - while he's talking about best move to attack in a fighting game, and while your case is simpler in that the enemies don't have options for themselves, the mapping between the two arguments is there. For any given use-case there can only ever be two choices, the best choice, and the counter to the best choice. The counter to the counter just ends up being the best again so you can't have any more depth without creating a new use-case.

I should have mentioned, I never talked about the US.
The research substantiates this thesis though. As cited variously in grandparent threads, domestic environment and culture are the main predictive factors of academic and economic outcomes. Poor kids who study do much better than rich kids who don't.

We no longer deny people opportunities based on their race. If your SAT score is high, you'll be admitted anywhere you want. If you study hard, your score will be high. The reach is constructing the SAT, or any other similar test, as racist because the scores are not evenly distributed by race.
It probably is, given the state of Indian politics. The main opposition party is the somewhat cosmopolitan Congress that has failed to produce any leader in the past three decades. The ruling party BJP is despised in many liberal circles. And the rising opposition parties (AAP/TMC) have a very grounded, mass appeal style of politics.

For a lot of affluent liberals (champagne socialists, if you will), this is horrifying. Thus, nostalgic pieces like these to celebrate a time when the power was concentrated in the hands of the enlightened elites, rather than the ethno-nationalists or populists who appeal to the unwashed horde.

This liberal nostalgia is just as predictable as the bile that is spewed in the direction of Nehru and Gandhi by the currently ruling bigots. Unfortunately, only one of those sections of society seems to be losing power. One step at a time, I suppose...

Personally I see it as a reason why the current metaverse schemes are a scam, since there are numbers right there that profit is from selling what are essentially indirect server rentals (that becomes more profitable as time goes on as server prices drop). Rather than a one time 'crypto' purchase silliness, that scammers have essentially set their sites on.

> France has FPTP

For the vast majority of it's existence, the 5th republic has had proportional representation in the legislature (only changed with Sarkozy, who instituted 2-round elections - IIRC).

Presidential has been 2-round for much longer, perhaps from the beginning of the 5th republic.

Straight FPTP as implemented in many places in the US allows plurality winners (ie, winners that don't get 50% of the votes), France's system does not.
