This seems to trying to pin down the "problem of identity" (how to ensure people maintain a stable identity over a digital realm)

I think it's important to be clear about why this is important, depending on the use case (votes, currency, etc) there may be a different reasons why it's important that one identity follows one person.

In the case of currency, the reason behind needing stable identity has to do with double spending.

But I have a toy scenario that I like to play around with, consider a cryptocurrency such that anybody can emit tokens (credits) however they deem appropriate, in this case the necessity of a stable identity is clear, the person needs to be able to answer for their emited tokens. If people can just shed the token-emitting-identity, then they cannot be held accountable (forced to answer) for their emitted tokens and the entire construction is useless.

However, for the case of votes and other group-concensus schemes, the scenarios are sufficiently different that I'm not sure if it'e even worthwhile to try to come up with ONE answer to the identity "problem"
Rtings maintains a list of ad-free TVs. This isn't the same as smart-free, but maybe that's what some people want:

https://www.rtings.com/tv/tests/ads-in-smart-tv (The ones with a "10" in the ad-free column.)

The often-given advice of "just don't connect it to the internet" is viable only sometimes. My TV shipped with some missing features that were enabled after a software update.

Perhaps plug it in, update the software, and then unplug it again.

I am working from home (also note that it’s an “or list”).
I’ve kept my Samsung offline since I purchased it in 2019. I’ve kept my LG offline since I purchased it in 2016. As long as you have an AppleTV or similar connected to service your need for “smarts” it won’t be hard to leave the TV offline.

(I recommend LG over Samsung - Samsung TV has native undismissable ads from 2019 still)
Seems unlikely to be true; an obvious counterexample: WireGuard also doesn't support AES, and is wildly popular, including in commercial settings.

I’m definitely going to buy the new edition and excitedly re-read it, but it would have been deeply enjoyable if the second edition _only_ updated itself to dark mode. Could have been one of the rare actually funny April Fools Day announcements.
I haven’t, but really even if it does make an excessively bold claim, it’s definitely a replication failure but I’m still of the belief that it’s not useful to frame that as “replication crisis.”

Newton’s failure to account for near-light speed movement - and the rest of physics knowledge - doesn’t really warrant “replication crisis.” It’s just “more science” that’s refining our understanding.

My issue with replication crisis framing is that in my experience it leads people to believe the softer sciences are irredeemable. Not only is the “crisis” not limited to softer sciences, but it’s really not a crisis. As we go up the entropic chain (physics -> chem -> bio -> socio etc), we can expect that understanding all of the relevant variables will get harder and harder and harder. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t continue trying, and it doesn’t point to another route to knowledge other than continuing to try.
> It can be used as a bargaining chip in unrelated negotiations like privacy rights etc.

There are many things one could have said here (e.g. PDOs -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_designation_of_origi... , regulations on hazardous materials, etc. ) , but privacy rights is not exactly one of them. The EU can and has been squashing those on its own just fine.
These are great points, I agree. Especially:

>With power, naturally, comes a lot of responsibility and that can feel heavy. *Especially if you are ethical*. But that is not enslavement.
Also the IQ is a pretty narrow measurement for a persons abilities. It might map to 'logical thinking ability' which probably would be related to programming skills. But what if that person has no social skills whatsoever?
I went to school there as a kid and got told to my face that foreigners smell like hamburger and milk. Did I ever deny what you're saying? Nah. Anyways interacting with people like you putting stuff in people's mouths is insufferable, I suggest not doing that.

I'll elect to go a step further than your criticisms in that I think it's beyond racism in that country. They can be kind of mean over there even within each other. It's a culture where bullying is super common and getting along there is understanding that people will probably not meet the average western ideals of "niceness" in general. But hey at least they won't steal from you
It seems unlikely the Ukrainian military would take a break from the war just to help Elon’s PR stunt.

There are a number of other tweets from Ukrainian military describing how it’s being used.

The US military has also commented https://www.pcmag.com/news/pentagon-impressed-by-starlinks-f...

That’s an interesting point: higher interest rates offer increasing advantage to those who already have cash on hand.
core upper-tier housing in California only slowed in price, even at the worst weeks of that era, while low-tier, obviously cheap housing and especially condos, tanked. It is well-documented in Zillow charts and others.

> Most engineers when "empowered" and left to their own devices without much accountability go off on their own side quests that often add no value to the business, but scratch that engineer's curiosity. These side quests also tend to not contribute to business aligned goals.

Is this actually true? I know it’s a common fear of managers who are in over their heads in one way or another, but isn’t it a bit of an infantilising view? I would never want to work at a company where this was how the leadership saw engineering (and I’m a product manager, not an engineer).
There are talented engineers all over the place.

But, the thing that makes "10x" engineers is rarely their own work, its mostly luck of being in the right place at the right time. The big problem is that most people cannot reliably differentiate a "10x" engineer from a gobshite.

The reason why the "myth" is so tedious is that people mistake volume(of code/self aggrandising/speaking in meetings) for being _good_. Just because someone ported code from one language to another, doesn't mean it was useful to the business, or humanity.
Because someone might accidentally read it. Unacceptable risk.

Have you forgot how the U.S. has used its armed forces in the last 100 years?

Buying U.S. gas possibly means funding the invasion of whatever country is next on the agenda, and the murder of countless civilians. How is that a good option?

The technology is there, it's called demand response. Air conditioning and refrigeration are major workloads at the peak of summer, and can easily absorb any "excess" supply at a moment's notice. The heat capacity of whatever is being actively cooled then acts as your "battery".
What is a better term to use that means when things are not perfectly matched it drives me so insane that I can't function until I go in there and fix it so that everything is exactly right?
On a tangential note, I’m a fan of the support cycle of macOS. I consistently stay a major version or so behind to avoid the various issues of the major upgrades while getting security updates, but I’m also happy they are able to put out major upgrades yearly (which I also get each year — just a year behind).

I don’t know if this will be consistent, but I was also able to do this with iOS, staying on iOS 14 for a long time while receiving security updates. Hadn’t noticed that ability in previous major versions of iOS and I’m not sure if it was due to device support of iOS 15. I hope that continues.

Do these TVs start up and boot directly into the selected input for something like an Apple TV, or do you have to go to extra hoops when it starts up to switch to your desired input? I'd actually be perfectly happy with a smart TV that's disconnected if it never throws its UI in my face when I'm trying to just use an input for something.

Thanks for your note.

As fellow counsel, I'm sure you get why the post had to be general. I earnestly believe that none of the clients I had did anything I thought illegal when I represented them. But I can't ethically blog details of their compliance postures, or of their private negotiations. I can't name names, of clients or of counterparties.

I did not then and do not now perceive any great regulatory "vacuum" as concerns securities regulation. Having learned the 33 Act from law school and in practice, rather than Coin Center and blogs, I didn't see uncertainty demanding regulator clarification. I saw Coin Center and friends trying to manufacture a perception of such uncertainty. Even so, the SEC Report on Investigation on the DAO came right out and said "security", under both '33 and '34 acts, five years ago. And hammered the point that existing analysis fully applied.
Why does this 10x meme exist about software engineers and no other profession? It's because the CEOs and VCs who spread this are preying on tech bro macho-ness so they can squeeze as much labor and "productivity" out of us as possible.

Just here in the Bay Area, prices have doubled while rents have gone up maybe 5% in desirable areas post pandemic and are still way down in SF.

Just moved into a bigger place with a pool for $100/m more than my last rent (Marin county).

We want to buy, but our monthly cost would literally double to own the house we are in now.
a correction would imply that housing prices are inflated by artificial factors, rather than actual demand. it seems like that's mostly not true, and house prices are high because the demand is simply outpacing supply.

i don't see any reason to expect that the status quo can't continue and simply get worse. inequality between the homeowner class and the renter class will continue to grow. the wealthy will get to participate in the ownership market, and it'll be irrelevant for everybody else. as long as homes are treated as an investment commodity and investors can expect significant returns without having to rely on rental income, the rent market and the ownership market can be detatched from each other.
That's also the reason back in the 19th century you'd find hydrologists on every important project, no matter what it was about. Hydrologists just had to be really good (and among the first) statisticians.
Why does it have to be "most abusive" though, like isn't it obvious this just exacerbates problems to anyone with a mote of empathy and foresight?

Maybe you know different people than I do but I don't think that line of thought is as common as you think.
This is a great reply but these people aren't here because they want to learn; they're here the announce that they're better than you, and know The Truth. So, a person like this will take your tide data and just tell you it's false, or flawed, or ask with a wink whether you really can trust it, etc etc. They're not here for conversation, they're here for a monologue.
I don't see that we are headed that way.

Consumers started spending less. Target has already announced that they are reducing prices. Compared to last year, there are a lot more items on clearance in the clothing stores. There are only 20 or so ships are waiting at the LA port.

Whirlpool has started laying off assembly line employees as demand softens.

New mortgage applications are down by 21%.
But why have prices soared in just a few years while the population barely grew?

Something else seems to be driving up prices other than just "people need a place to live", and I don't see any inherit reason as to why housing prices cant go down 20-30% just like the stock market.

The solution is austerity, but no one wants to cut spending and risk losing votes. Large spending packages contributed to inflation and were partly a calculated giveaway by both parties.
Not the GP, but if you're into writing erotic fanfic I'd say it's polite to avoid subject matter which might result in children being accidentally exposed to it.

IIRC this was Rowling's basis for saying "Harry Potter fanfic is fine as long as it's not erotic" -- too many kids searching online for everything Harry Potter.
Jeff Geerling just did a video on a commercial tv that even has a pi in it. Maybe look into digital signage stuff or even a large computer monitor or projector.
I think Tumblr, just like Twitter, Facebook, etc is all about who you follow. Keeping any of them to just friends you know and care about in real life is going to make them dramatically better than following a bunch of "influencers" or meme accounts.
Sceptre sells dumb TVs. Often these are available for order through Wal-Mart's web site.
Among many other things. We should have started figuring out this stuff -- and implementing it -- twenty years ago. Such a missed opportunity.
The West already was hit with its own issues - supply chain, gas prices, inflation, etc. The situation already was fragile before the war and sanctions made it much worse. My 401(k) not only has lost a huge value, but given the inflation, even if it gained a little, I would still be at a big loss! All this is not gonna end well!
My "smart" Vizio TV and LG projectors just go directly to the last active input (in my case a Google TV). I never even remember they have their own built-in smart OSes because I never see them.

However, these days, most of the streaming sticks have their own shitty recommendations and ads anyway, so unless you're doing a self-hosted Plex box or something, expect ads. And then of course there are the actual streaming service ads.
That looks like "drawing conclusions", not like "attributing thoughts".

"B wants stasis¹" // "Hence if A breaks it by removing doubts, B will act" - this is what was actually diplomatically declared, reminded, renewed in the past hours.

¹"stasis" - not the most proper expression of what is sought, but just to remain close to the original post in question.
Same setup here. Sony TV that’s never been connected plus an Apple TV.
Russian here. I condemn this war but let's be realistic. The extremely poor performance of Russian military at the start of the war is due to the following factors:

- extreme underestimation of Ukrainian people and government will to resist the occupation

- extremely poor planning and overstretching the communication lines

- frontlines in the beginning of the campaign were vastly undermanned for a conventional war (ww2 fronts in the same are had 5-15 times more soldiers per km)

- many troops in the initial wave were unwilling to fight this particular opponent. Brother nation and all that.

Now, many of these factors are no longer the same. Fronts are shrinked. RAF military better understands the capabilities of the UAF, and is countering their tactics more efficiently. Soldiers are better equipped with night vision equipment, drones, and they use artillery without hesitation. And most of all, new troops coming to front are no longer the kind of people who were brought in for a military exercise and found themselves invading Ukraine: they consciously signed up a (lucrative for provincial russians) military contract and know exactly what their objective is.

The humiliation is such thing. Yes, you are humiliated, so what? USSR was humiliated in the Winter war, yet, people often forget that it actually won it, taking 20% of Finland ( * ). Currently, Putin holds 20% of Ukraine, and I assess he can get a further 10% at this rate by the year end.

(Russia does have the resources to fight it till the end of the year, meanwhile the western public is clearly oversatiated with this war - last week I haven't seen a single Ukraine related topic trending on Twitter)

* - one can argue that Soviet poor performance in Winter war has led Hitler to attack USSR, but 1) I believe Hitler would have attacked regardless, high on confidence after having beaten France and 2) there are nobody now to attack Russia but possibly China, who wouldn't risk it while it is still in one piece. After it desintegrates as a result of Putin's genius rule, probably, I'll take some far East provinces, but not now. Also, unsuccessful wars are the best reality check if you manage to survive them, so if anything, Ukraine war experience will highly improve the real capabilities of Russian military. Equipment can be replaced far more easily than capable soldiers with war experience.

It's the soft bullying of the suffering, weak and oppressed. By nature of being sufferers in life, they get a non-zero amount of sympathy, free-passes and get out of jail free cards.

There certainly do seem to be some lingering systemic effects for some people that have recovered from covid, and for some people those effects are very serious. Cancers, though, seem like a stretch.

The vast majority of people are well able to have a bank account and pay for things within the existing banking system without getting fleeced (or at least only to a small degree). If you want to solve trust at scale, that'll all have to become some sort of distributed ledger or the like. Scaling this tech to the point where it can do that will pretty much certainly not make it any simpler, so you'll get intermediaries who I've summarized as "crypto bros", but you're free to call them something else, but who will be in a terribly good position to fleece the masses. That's true for almost all areas; if it is to be absolutely governed by a highly obscure piece of software, people who understand the details will have great leverage to game the system, and I don't think that's an improvement over what we have now. It just transfers trust to another level in the chain and power to other people (possibly).
Who’s job would it be to stop it? I’m told the government is incapable of solving problems. The Starbucks employee? How much would I have to pay you to confront this homeless person? More than a barista makes I would imagine. Perhaps the problem persists because it is indeed unsolvable.
Those 3 points are valid but not even the worst bits. It sounds like you are just griping about the switching cost issues, and didn't get much further than initial setup.

Once you actually try to use BW in earnest, you'll find it's noticeably worse than 1PW in most ways. The most glaring is that it is meh at detecting login forms and poor at detecting new account signup. These are the 2 primary flows for a pw manager! It's unforgivable. Other flaws aside, 1PW puts significant effort there and it shows.

They've had quite long enough time already to do that. How long will you hold out hope?

I want to love BW so much. I never could get myself to look at KeePass. Anyway the primary use case I care about is sharing, not self-mgmt.
