Why Do We Get Old, and Can Aging Be Reversed?
Yes. That is an annoying semantic argument. The intended discussion is pretty clearly a purposefully manufactured device made of silicon and how understanding how that instantiates by watching silicon is not at all like watching how nucleotides arrange into rna.

Discussions of what constitutes a computer in this context or whether an nth order effect of a “random” process are just distracting.
I'm specifically talking about younger gen z... 14 and 15 year olds today.

I might be basing too much on a few anecdotes, but it seems Instagram is heading the way of Facebook in terms of generational "coolness." I suspect it's just starting to hit a wall similar to Facebook did. TikTok is eating all of it.

I did sort of contradict myself there and say never and multi-decade plan.

Problems the US has:

* Lack of spoke and hub railways.

* Cars.

* Cost-per-mile, which if I understand correctly is a political and a union-thing.

* And just politics by itself.

It's not dissimilar in the UK, but somehow we muddle through it. I don't believe that "cheap" maglev will ever help the US, it's been around for decades, and the longest highspeed line built by the Chinese is 19 miles at a cost of "only" $1.3 bn (I'll leave it up to the reader about how realistic that construction cost would be in the West).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maglev#China,_2000-present

The US will still have the same problem huge construction costs, political lobbying from the airlines, no hub and spoke railways, a vast airport style set of car parking around any terminals that are built.

The West now suffers from pointless adversarial politics where the opposition votes the opposite to the government simply "because", and for no rational reason other than "it's the other party". Even once you get past that hurdle, it's how "cheap" is the cheapest bidder. Labour/labor laws and so on.

I would genuinely love to see the US lead the world with high speed rail, but I just can't see it.
Vancouver’s station does that: preclearance and then sit in a sequestered cage to get on the train.

There are some disadvantages, such as not being able to pickup anymore passengers until crossing the border. Probably a non-issue with Vancouver close to the border.
I'd love to hear more about that, and I might not be alone. From an emergency management viewpoint, what parts of a "law enforcement perspective" do you find helpful, and which do you find less so? I can vaguely see both sides, but still better to find out from someone who actually knows.

Hindsight is not all it is though. Plenty of people here, myself included, were calling that the need to rebuy games (compared to MS's all in one sub model, or nvidia letting you use your existing licenses), combined with Google's track record with lacking commitment to its services were fatal flaws to Google's value proposition.

The reply was that Spotify and Netflix worked, but all music streaming services have basically the same selection these days, and movies are deemed more disposable than games as seen by the rise of people rotating subscriptions as movie video streaming fragments, so they were never perfect indicators. The one worry was that Google would buy its way in with exclusives and introductory pricing a la Epic, but Google's pride probably prevented that.

In an odd intersection of my hobbies - I have a pet theory that tacti-cool goes much farther back than 20th century mountain climbing, and it's because I used to write for style magazines in another life.

Beau Brummel is credited with creating modern mens style of dress, and his whole motif was taking his cavalry officer's uniform and adapting the elements to every day wear, like the shadbelly, waistcoat, and dress boots. Literally, cavalry tactical clothing worn in civilian settings. Riders still dress like Brummel did then, both in competition (shadbelly is still part of upper level dressage competition) and the "equestrian look," has evolved from being the pinnacle of 18th century dandy style, to one that is almost exclusively feminine today.

Equestrian gear was the original tacti-cool as invented by Beau Brummel, and the only mountaineering he ever did was of the social kind.

Today, one of the things that turns men off getting into (english) riding is few are attracted to dressing as though they were a golf pro on the set of Downton Abbey, or wearing clothing that is interchangeably unisex. Simply, most boys don't want to be seen as dressing like their mothers, so there isn't a positive aesthetic reference for them to emmulate that attracts them to the art and sport.

I've got a side project where I'm testing what parts of modern tacti-cool clothing are actually useful and stand up to the needs of working outside with animals. Pants from Carhartt and Duluth Trading are about as good as it gets without adding leather patches to them. Arcteryx makes the best upper body wear for riding, particularly their long sleeved base layers and sun shirts and hoodies, and these come right out of their LEAF (actual tactical) look books.

The line I'm looking to reference in a new product without crossing is when it crosses over into a stolen valor costume. But really if you are a serious rider, you have a depth of competence in the discipline equivalent or greater than most soldiers and fundamentally, these aesthetic references are signals of peer-acknowledged competence. I think taking key notes from other competence disciplines is fair game. If that sounds cavalier, yes, it's because we are what the word means. I would say tacti-cool is a signal of competence and of valuing competence, but it gets cringey when it is not an honest signal. See "mall ninja." There is just an essential element of masculinity where we can't become something merely by dressing up like it, and that's what makes a lot of tacti-cool, camo, and hunter aesthetics seem cringey out of their natural contexts. If I have really cracked it, maybe my next startup will be a clothing brand.
Agreed. It was hard seeing a professor whom I admired slowly transform over the course of the last ten years into a conspiracy theorist and alt-right content propagandist. He used to reliably offer the on-the-other-hand perspective, but knew what he was doing and generally kept a level head. Once his “devil’s advocacy” started getting him attention and likes on social media, it started to be more and more his focus until the persona became the person.

Very sad to see. He has fewer friends among his students and colleagues but a cadre of online followers gathered from who-knows-where.

I don't know, I'm not sure that's sustainable in the long term. They need to branch out, even if it's just to find new places to put ads-- like in streaming games. But they never fully commit. Strong hyped launch, not follow through. Google has more than enough resources that they should have been able to get major game publishers to sign on to allow owners of their games on l, say, Steam to freely game access on Stadia. Heck even a very minor player like GOG was able to do this in a limited way! Linked my steam account to GOG and was able to get free Gog copies of about a dozen games I already owned on steam that way.

But it seems like Google put practically zero effort into growing Stadia into having a respectable library at all. It looks like they gave up almost immediately and the last few years have been the inevitable stagnation into the graveyard.

I recently logged onto Stadia to check it out.

I was surprised at how well the entire thing worked. As a proof of concept, it showed me that this type of technology will replace consoles and gaming rigs in the very near future. Every game ran perfectly on full settings. Loading time was fast, no glitches or noticeable delay in control response.

That however, does not mean that Stadia will be the platform that mainstreams the technology. It will probably have to be Steam, Microsoft or Sony to finally do that.
No it doesn't have a world class freight rail network. The North American rail infra is incredibly primitive. Most of it is "dark territory" (no track sensors), unlike Europe. I used to write rail automation software for a German firm. They were appalled at the state of affairs here. One of the most lucrative rail systems in the US had an average speed of their trains in the single digits MPH!

> They didn't rent it.

It's a service isn't it? You play it online. You got to play it. Not sure what makes you think I can't be serious about that? If I want to play a game I don't care if I 'buy' it or rent it - I care about the playing.

They asked what they got from it - they got to play the game. Wasn't that the point?

Was "prosecute the police" the message you got from burning police stations? Or would you agree that the violent acts were the responsibility of a few individuals with probably more radical motives who should be punished for those actions, as individuals? And not the responsibility of the movement as a whole?

Doesn't that also apply to Jan6? And any other protest?
There is a lot of what-if here, but the reality is that most people in the USA prefer the flexibility and speed of (1) Driving wherever and whenever and carrying all your stuff with you, and then (2) flying to your destination for speed. You can cross the east coast in 3 hours or the go to the west cost in 6 on a convenient red-eye.

Taking the train is more a novelty, and unclear who would actually use it regularly because it takes much longer (10 hours east cost, 20 hours coast to coast), transport on either endpoint requires you to park or taxi, and you lose all flexibility.

We like the idea of the train more than the reality of the train. I've lived in various places around the world where you had to take mass transit always, and all it does is add one to two hours to your commute when I would have much preferred to drive.

> Democracies are based on collective public decision

Yes. And democracies also depend upon a healthy and reliable Fourth Estate.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Estate

We don't have that.

That obligation and responsibility has been widely neglected. This isn't the internet's fault. The irony of those who are supposed to serve as The Fourth Estate looking everywhere but in the mirror should not be lost. These traditional pillars seem to be more interested in click bait-y coverage, manufactured news (i.e., just because they "print" it doesn't mean it is worth printing, in the true definition of news), and/or shamelessly parroting prevailing narratives. They're generally lazy. There is no such thing as lazy journalism.

If this is a guideline, The Fourth Estate continues to fail. This isn't the internet's fault.

I fail to see how this is secure without also securing /etc (PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH), /lib, /usr/lib, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin - and at this point, might as well make the whole root mount thing RO and have a separated block device for the RW parts instead.

> Intel ME and its storage of binary blob has been problematic of defying clean delineation of nested security boundary, notably when TPM is not covering Intel ME to a point of Intel making another stab at TPM.

Intel ME is _trusted computing_, among with all sad characteristics that "trusted computing" implies; you either have faith that it is working correctly, or your shoud not be making anything that you need security on a platform that embeds it.
There is nothing wrong with a kv hierarchy for config. Used in more modern tools as well like Consul. The problem here is the poor implementation and naive security considerations.

I also love how they locked the page from edits:

Wikipedia has changed the definition of ‘recession’ and locked the page from further edits. These changes were made during the week that the White House proposed a re-definition of recession to mean something other than two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth.

I'm a bit confused. If you're trying to say that Huawei's P9 (released in 2016) took better pictures than Huawei's 6P (released in 2015) and than the iPhones, then I don't think there's anything to disagree over. They both took better pictures than the iPhones, seeing as they're both Huawei phones released shortly one after the other.

Now that I think about it, you might be saying that P9 was more wide-spread in the US than the 6P, which would also be confusing, because I don't think the P9 was officially sold in the US.

I've been using graphql on the FE and BE for about 2 years now, and used REST for about 10 years before that. I really like the apollo client when using React, it's a great fit and let's me avoid the mental complexity of data stores like Redux etc.

On the BE it's not great, harder to reason about than REST and harder to manage. It's also harder to monitor than traditional REST, since REST makes use of a full range of http header codes (the graphql server we used only used http header 200 by default, we have modified this).

What I recently learned is that the apollo client has support for REST APIs, this is a path that seems interesting to me. We've also been looking at FE libraries for REST that have similar interfaces to the apollo client, if you have suggestions please let me know.
