Your other link (https://jonathanwthomas.net/how-to-get-your-website-out-of-t...) explicitly and accurately reported, "You don’t need to file a DMCA notice or anything (but you can if you want to go nuclear)." Your insistence on sloppily referring to the process as such, and further your unwarranted fear it might "change on a dime", are odd slurs to insistently deploy.

> Doesn't really matter, disclose your affiliations - especially for the kind of wild statements you make (eg: comparing thread commenters to "big tech, big copyright, big nation-state, big regulation, and big ideologies".)

My current & prior affiliations are well-disclosed – better than yours, it seems.

And I wasn't "comparing" commenters to those things, I was pointing out: many pseudonymous voters, & commenters, here are often in the employ of, & de facto advocates for, the very topics of contentious discussion – such as Google, the US federal government, the entertainment industry, activist organizations, etc – with no disclosure.

So to harp on my open book of work history is again odd.

> I agree, commons is the wrong term, "fair use" is what IA legally rides on.

Indeed, it was unfair of you to characterize my arguments, or separately any rationales used by the Internet Archive, as involving a simplistic 'commons' assertion.

> I've also proposed ways to [make their services less harmful] that you have not responded to.

I've not noticed these proposals, just vague platitudes about "trying to establish consensus in good faith first" – what does that mean? – or an example of one person (Manley) who consciously chose to publish a life-archive along with their suicide note (!). How exactly does that outlier case convert to actionable policies for a web library, that legitimately seeks to be as comprehensive about publicly-published web materials as traditional printed-material libraries?

> Regulation will solve anyone who wants to host or do business on US soil.

No, it can't 'solve', and barely even helps, because the most serious threats are from government who themselves use regulations to force the violation of privacy – as with KYC rules, or demands for intercept capabilities – and from aggressive sub-state actors whose activites are largely invisible to regulators.

You're still alleging non-specific "harm" from the Archive without examples or magnitudes.

If the Archive helps makes people aware that what they've published persists in the public record unless they take conscious other steps, and lets them both correct the storage that surprised them, and leads them towards the truly-reliable practices for avoiding unwanted disclosure/persistence, it's done a better job than those promising safety from superficial 'regulation' that doesn't actually limit most threats.

Archiving publically-offered web pages isn't a "privacy-eroding tool" no matter how many times you repeat that allegation - it's a tool for cultural memory, honest history, and teaching people the ground realities of privacy (or lack thereof) in these new media. Directing ire at the Archive's well-behaved collection activities is getting angry at the smoke alarm, not the fire.
Sometimes that point exists in a region of concepts that isn't touched by anyone directly, so you have no clue what its exact location is, hence you can't concentrate your energy on it.
What you can do, however is identify the conceptually closest and well understood points. These points may end up being in vastly different fields, each requiring vastly different ways of thinking and/or computational paradigms.
_IF_ you're resourceful enough to focus your attention on all of these neighboring points "virtually" at once, then you have a chance to interpolate the position the original concept and finally concentrate on it.
maybe you could put it back up, then preemptively file a copyright claim against yourself.
This psychiatrist is either an lazy, an idiot or using shorthand.

Anyone who spent even in a couple hours reading about depression (one of the most common ailments) in the last decade knows that low serotonin is not the cause of depression.
Better than nothing. Which is what we had previously.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of incremental improvement.
Interesting, thanks for the insight, I was completely unaware of this one.
I've heard plenty of people involved in mental health care themselves lament the fact that they're often just trying to happy-talk people who genuinely have harrowing lives. I don't think the notion is absurd.
I agree with your general point, but psilocybin does a heck of a lot more than give you space to think. It temporarily (or, as studies suggest, perhaps more long-term) also changes quite a bit about how you think.
Not only that, but doing any rework with surface mount is usually much easier than with thru-hole or DIP chips. Removing a DIP chip usually means snipping the leads off (thus ruining the chip) and individually pulling each severed leg out with an iron and solder-sucker. By contrast, an SOIC-type chip can be removed in seconds with a hot-air gun.
Last month I had to implement customer deletion on a new project I started working on recently. The basics were: anonymize the user personal data, delete subscriptions, keep anything else. I believe that payments and invoices are not stored in that database so I don't know what happens to them but in general you must not delete that kind of data because GDPR notwithstanding the law requires that they are available for inspection for a long time. Of course they cannot be anonymized in a way that cannot be reversed. Being able to connect them with a trail of operations in the main database is probably useful too. So, soft delete.
Better to embrace your own unique and [hopefully beautiful] nature full heatedly than obsess over someone else's ideas or what someone else did.

or you could address the actual argument
The title is literally "cost declines raise prospect." This is all that I have claimed. This is all that the article has claimed.

Agreed, an honest person can say that. But an an hoenst person can not say that it's impossible because of "physics" or for that matter that it's impossible because of economics!

I'm not sure why we should take your assessment that they are "very generous estimates" when you started with the false assertion that it's "very clearly non-economical" while pointing to the paper itself as evidence, when the paper refuted you. If you have a complaint, make it, please don't just smear with innuendo, especially since you are reading the paper.

The numbers of $100/kWh, which you talk about as mere speculation, are like forecasting future computing performance and thinking the safe move is to assume no improvement in computing costs.

People that have assumed that storage would stay at the same cost have been proven wrong year after year after year. Suggesting that somehow, just now, prices will stop decreasing, is wild speculation with no basis in fact and should be dismissed out of hand, unless the claimant can at least bother to come up with some resin for the change.
I think Turbolinks is a nice balace bewteen traditional webpage and SPA.
https://github.com/turbolinks/turbolinks

It provides a smooth UX by fetching next page's HTML in background, then replace the DOM by compareing the diff in HTML. So you won't see a blank page while navigating between pages.
I'm interested in this anecdote:

> The Standard accompanied VanMoof employees Adrien Yeung and Bret Carmody on a “hunt” in early July, about 40 minutes into which the two happened to see someone riding one of the company’s bikes. The two-person team did a quick U-turn and pulled aside the person to find that the bike’s GPS system was disabled, indicating that it had been stolen.

> The man riding the bike gave it back without a fuss, claiming that he had bought it at a local street market.

What were some of the characteristics of that man that led Yeung and Carmody to guess that he was riding a stolen bike and not one he owned?
Indeed. The whole profession of psychiatry suffers from poor application of scientific research, to the extent that the National Institute of Mental Health once banned reference to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (known as DSM-5).

> 2. The diagnosis and treatment of ADHD in adults but most especially in children is extremely suspect. Last year there was a study pretty much confirming it is overdiagnosed in children. But even worse, whether ADHD is even a thing or multiple conditions wrongly bundled under a single name is basically an open question. We basically put labels on children with "problematic behaviors" like "autistic spectrum disorder" and "ADHD" and then eventually find that 30-80% of ASD children are meeting criteria for ADHD. First of all what sort of study is 30-80%? But if the higher end is true, the question strongly arises: are these even two things?

You know, just the other day I read about some brain scan study which suggested high-functioning autism looked, in brain scans, more like ADHD than like profound autism. But I think to some extent this sort of problem is inevitable if you're trying to dream up a taxonomy for conditions entirely from how they present themselves with a limited understanding of their biological basis.
You must be reading very different history books than the ones I've read.

The idea that we're somehow way more exploited than the people who came before us does not seem compatible with any history book I've ever read.
Apple to Pay $50M Settlement over MacBook Butterfly Keyboard Lawsuit
Isn't a large part of electricity production around making things hot to drive turbines?

Airplanes are very heavy so this may not be physically possible, but if you could run coolant pipes under runways, couldn't that captured heat be used in energy production elsewhere?
+1, thanks for this anecdote. I'm thinking of coding the world's wittiest oldschool text-only adventure game for our son to make him more comfortable with keyboard input and the command line.

It'll probably also be good for developing creative use of written language (he likes paper books) -- hopes I who learned English and touch typing via Al Lowe's "Leisure Suit Larry" series.

That aside, I'm fine with him playing Minecraft, though. It's a nice fit between uber-realistic contemporary games and 80s computation; also, the Minecraft kids need to use their brain while playing, ha.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like "lousy", rasterized graphics may be better for the child's imagination. It's more close to reading a book where you still have to "draw" the world and characters in your head. But, also, I'm old, and fine with that.

Can't pull the kids out of 21th century, but it makes a lot of sense to introduce them to the most valuable accomplishments of 1980s or 1990s. It's a bit like showing them the simplicity of manual carpentry, chisels and hand planes in the age of electrical tools.
I think the point is that actual diagonoses are often wrong and potentially harmful, which I agree with. I share a bit of your story, getting diagonised with ADHD benefited me greatly and led me down a path that likely saved my life. At the same time, while many people are helped by the medical system many others aren't and psych drugs are an area where there is a lot of finger waving in how drugs are perscribed.
Agreed. If you're an individual who wants to work this hard, hopefully you can find a team of like-minded folks who will work hard with you and make sure that it is structured in a way that you all reap the benefits.
If you are quoting Wikipedia then quote this too:

> During this time helicopters dropped supplies for the cosmonauts including warm clothes, boots, water containers, and more. Helicopters also dropped doctors and technicians close to the landing site so they could trek to the landing site and support the cosmonauts. Others were also dropped by helicopters to start clearing a landing pad that was closer to the capsule. With more resources and supplies after their first night the landing site was more sustainable. This included a fire, a makeshift log cabin and they were even brought cheese, sausage, and bread for supper.[20] Finally, after spending two cold nights in a dense forest, Leonov and Belyayev were able to ski 9 kilometers with the help of some rescuers to reach the helicopters landing site
"These numerous seeds, however, have a tendency to transform into weeds."

Hit me the hardest.
All sorts of non-absurd-seeming notions turn out to be wrong, which is why people train for many years to conduct medical research.
>Well yes, computer science used to be just a specialization of EE.

Huh? No, it wasn't. CS started out as a specialization in the Math department, since CS is really just an extension of mathematics.

EE is very math-heavy compared to other engineering fields, but CS never came from EE though there's a lot of overlap.
You may be absolutely right in terms of efficiency but it’s tangent to what op’s point was about.
Water rights also come with priority. When there aren't enough units, they describe who gets what is available and who goes without.

Historically, non replenishable Groundwater has been treated like oil or mineral deposits, if you own it, you can use it up.
The "I would think that marriage should be an incredible experience to learn about yourself and your partner" is quite a bizarre statement.

Marrying somebody means inviting a third party, the State, in private affairs. Now, marriage can be convenient or recommended for religious and tax affairs, particular convictions, and for the protection of kids (then...).

But getting married to learn about yourself and your partner by, in essence, inviting a third party that in typical fashion would obfuscate instead of giving light, reminds me of the guy who wanted to be kicked in the genitals so that he could feel something brand new that day.
I believe OP wanted to say that work gains are taxed way higher than capital gains but didn’t know how to phrase it.

Average sallaries are obscenously taxed. In my country having a cheap rental/airbnb grants you a better income than an average full time job..
While yes non team players on the design side or dev side can be an issue, just as much it could be project / product managers.

I think the key to a well oiled machine is good direction from product, getting everyone bought in on the vision / roadmap (or at least understanding the priorities). From there working on the Information Architecture (I call it data design). Having the data design clearly defined alleviates many issues. It shows that there is clear definition and both sides can start working on their parts even though the final design blocks the final UI.
South Korea is in a very peculiar situation, isn't it? IMO it (and Taiwan) can't be used to argue for mandatory service in the US, a country that has no hostile neighbours at it's borders.

But there are other countries like Austria that can be used as an example.
How would you "medically disprove" the notion that some people are unhappy because the circumstances of their lives are bad rather than biological defects?
Indeed! This year is the midpoint of all Boomers retiring. There will be a labor shortage of around 300k workers this year, slowly increasing until 2034 to 900k workers.

COVID was simply the catalyst of getting a large lump of folks out of the labor force because they could retire (or died of any number of causes during the pandemic).
Isn't that just a longer way to say that it's a shortage of pay rate, benefits, and willingness to train? If the market is booming, and pay rates haven't caught up, aren't they short?
The idea that a terrible life can cause depression is not the limb he's going out on. It's the idea that somehow depression is caused by being way more exploited than our ancestors in the 1700's who were working on someone else's farms and factories as children is the limb he's going out on.
You made several comments in a row that were extremely dismissive of how GDPR compliance could be achieved, and your comments repeatedly questioned whether other people considered basic concepts of data erasure. I apologize if I misattributed malice, but I do feel those comments could have been worded differently.

Also, this quote:

> To be honest, in the age of modern overprovisioned storage drives that remap blocks frequently, I'm not really sure you can implement genuine "hard" deletes without choosing significantly unorthodox hardware (or destroying a drive every time you need a single bit erased), no matter how much you want to in software.

That quote feels incompatible with your statement that…

> Quite the contrary in fact—I believe its current requirements can and should be complied with quite cheaply and efficiently

How can it be complied with cheaply and easily if it can’t be complied with without hardware support no matter how much software wants to? Surely you can see my confusion. Your last comment is far more in line with what I would expect to see in a discussion like this.

Regardless, I think I understand the argument in your last comment better now, but I still think destroying keys is the most effective way to achieve compliance. Even if a storage device manufacturer guaranteed that they would attempt to erase the specific block you want erased, there are problems with whether that data is still recoverable by reading the block repeatedly.
I’m saying it would be a reasonable definition of complete, and no we absolutely have not given up on a theory of all phenomena
This is true, but inaccurate, as it only accounts for the direct effects.

However, increased serotonin receptor agonism also increases downstream dopamine and norepinephrine release.
And in the bigger scheme of things it's still a charade. These devs I'm sure are extremely talented, double your headcount and pay them half, everyone will still be smiling all the way to the bank. It's unfortunately nothing but greed.
C and C++ are infamous for being harder to parse than it's reasonable. C has lots instances of context dependent syntax where code changes meaning depending on what a name is.

You can parse Go without a symbol table, but not C, because stuff like

item *a;

changes completely in meaning depending on the existence of a previous typedef for `item`.

C++ in order to not break compatibility with C has elevated this to insane extremes - there's so much ambiguous syntax in the language.

x = b.get<item>(r);

This expression can either be a function invocation, if `item` is a type and a template method named `get` exists, or else it's a series of comparisons.

item f(r, f);

is also ambiguous: if r and f are types, that's a function, otherwise that's a variable declaration. There's no way to know that unless you have a symbol table, which makes separating syntactical and semantic analysis impossibile at best.

The whole C++ language is full of similar ambiguities, and attempts to fix warts that backfired spectacularly. That's also the reason why writing a C++ frontend is a decade long endeavor that takes lots of people and resources. A full time team of 3 people can probably write a C parser in a few weeks in comparison, and C is big mess too, albeit a smaller mess though.

I don't think „don't giving them platform“ works. Soviet union worked hard to give no platform. Yet people invented all sorts of background channels. From book printing to discussion clubs to underground music shows. And when the system cracked just a bit, it washed away the system. While many people, both inside and outside, were completely unprepared for that. Because if stuff is hidden under the carpet it ain't happening, right?

Same pattern with Brexit or Trump.

Then you are imprisoned with the little money you get and be more and more dependent while it gets harder and harder for you to get out of.

It's interesting that virtually everyone who complains about people not wanting to work are those who are set to disproportionately benefit from the labor of someone else. So when they say "nobody wants to work anymore," what they really mean is "nobody wants to devalue their own time and labor to fill my pockets."
Agree that the system is a bit fucked, in pretty much every country (as far as I can tell).

Unless you are involuntarily committed, you won't be put on the drug path if you don't want to. Psychiatric medications like SSRIs are generally awful. What I mean when I say "awful" is that the experience of taking them is awful. You may end up with symptoms that are under control, but you may still experience symptoms, or the symptoms can sometimes get worse, and the side effects are often just kind of shitty to deal with. These are generally not habit-forming drugs. These are nasty pills that you'll look at in the morning and dread taking.

Non-compliance rates are already high, when you have patients who want to take the medication. There is no way you're going to prescribe antidepressants to somebody who says they don't want to take them. It's just a waste of time.

Xanax is different. It's a benzodiazepine. The entire category of benzodiazepines is known to have a high rate of misuse, and Xanax in particular has a high rate of misuse. It's prescribed because it's an extremely effective and fast-acting. Very different from SSRIs.
Nobody needs to disprove the notion that some people are happy for reasons having nothing to do with clinical depression.
