In his shoes, I would feel morally justified in escaping. Financial crimes deserve a financial penalty.

If you disagree with that, suppose Britney Griner somehow escaped from Russian "justice"? How would you feel then?

That method registry is simply self-service way to register DID methods, so it functions like the latter -- "known" methods.

There's no editorial/curation aspect to this registry; that's out of scope. The requirements are simply basic DID method conformance -- specify how the create/read/update/write methods are implemented, security considerations, and so on.

The land grab concern you mention is real, but would likely not be addressed at this level (again, it would be considered out of scope), but could happen in a different standards group.

Some relevant work includes defining criteria by which to evaluate DID methods -- i.e., does it support update operations (e.g., did:key doesn't), does it rely on a blockchain and if so, is it permissioned, and numerous other factors. Probably the most comprehensive treatment of these are the DID method Rubric [1]

With Verite, our considerations were mostly around no/low cost, interoperable/open source implementations for the open source implementation (although anyone can use any method they like). The ones we're most likely to add open source implementations for next are did:pkh and did:ion.

Is anyone seriously engaging with the question of what to do about obesity from a public health standpoint instead of riding their dietary/urban planning/economic hobby horse or coming up with yet another vacuous PR campaign to promote "healthy choices"? As far as I've been able to find, there are zero examples of countries with an obesity epidemic that have managed to even halt it, let alone reverse it. Every major explanation of the epidemic I've seen fails to actually fit the data, often blatantly so (e.g. blaming things that spiked well before the epidemic in a given population, or trends that flattened or reversed decades ago while obesity continues to rise).

It feels like we're either not even trying, or are ruinously confused about what we're up against.
I've always wanted to write a book and this would be an interesting idea ;) There's definitely a lot of cool history to cover (donno if Code covers a lot of history, haven't read it)

(Opinions are my own)

> Eh Make is not good for most problems

Agreed. I spend a lot of time advocating for Bazel for this reason.

> Ninja basically gives you the parts of GNU make that are good, without the cruft and slowness. And you can learn it in 20 minutes, unlike GNU make

Ninja seems more like a side-grade than a wholesale improvement. It does not fix all the problems that need to be addressed. Compare the two:

* https://ninja-build.org/manual.html#_philosophical_overview

* https://bazel.build/start/bazel-intro

Right now Bazel's biggest issues are:

1. Getting started is difficult: There is a lot of impedance mismatch across various language toolchains. This can be fixed over time by improving the tooling/libraries/docs. If JetBrains had a "New Bazel Project" and had a way to 1-click-add Java/Python/Ruby/golang/Rust/etc source into //third_party with BUILD files and a version of build_cleaner Bazel would win. Just making it easy to vendor libraries and build software from the IDE is I think all it would take to get popular.

2. The JVM: I am a huge fan of Java (I've build multiple company's backends in it) but it is not a great choice for CLI tooling (even with a daemon). A no-dependency, small, build system executable would go a long way to making it easy to get people started.

3. The cruft: A lot of things in Bazel are the way they are because someone had to get a feature out ASAP to support $BIG_USER to do $BIG_THING and it would be too difficult to migrate away/to something at Google. If we drop the cruft and redesign things from the ground up we can get a nice abstraction for the world. For example, please.build's proto_library is VERY easy to use (way easier than even the Google internal versions imo).

4. The tooling: You can get massive CI improvements, free mutation testing, frameworks for build (integration tests, e2e tests, etc), and much more by building things against the Bazel API. Unfortunately not much outside of Google supports this API. Example of things you can do with this API: https://kythe.io/examples/#extracting-compilations-using-baz...

We could live in a world where people can build langauge-agnostic tooling that automatically works so long as you pass it a `*_binary` target that transparently builds for all major platforms (zig's or APE's as crosstool) which would allow platform vendors to define macros to completely automate deployment and development for their systems. For example we could have:

```
from aws import lambda

lambda.package(
name = "my_api",
deps = [":api_handler"],
)
```

And just by running `build :my_api` you could have a zip file which packages your code (from any language) into a lambda.
Learning about these kinds of things is one thing motivating me to try for a big tech company job.

I want to build my own company, but I want it to have this kind of tooling, that I don’t fully understand yet.

Sounds really interesting, would love to see it used more.
I don't think it's intended as a statistically accurate statement. It's anecdotal, ie the author's friends and family back in Russia tell him that many Russians support it.
Cost is an intrinsic part of the signal for diamond rings because the signal is "I care about you so much I will spend lots of money to prove it". But for job-readiness, the signal does not have to be costly. It could be accomplished with tests. That would prove ability. It would be harder to prove grit or endurance. But compensation packages could be adjusted to filter out people who are less likely to stick around.

Conscious realism and the cosmological polytope:

According to Prof. Hoffman, this model of the universe is highly parsimonious in that it can model data from the Large Hadron Collider using a single parameter, while the best incumbent (Quantum Field Theory) needs millions.

The implication is that everything we see and experience are not fundamental, including space and time itself. The fundamental unit of reality is consciousness.

This has far reaching implications into every other scientific and non-scientific human endeavor, from neuroscience to philosophy. It's no exaggeration to say that if he's right (and he claims the math shows that he is) it may be the most important discovery in human history.

Even Albert Einstein appears to have intuited this when he wrote:

"Time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live."
Frankly, you are trendsetters, not the odd exception. You are just ahead of the curve, but the rest of the world is following you.

I am 44 and I am aghast at how fat some of the youngsters here in Czechia are. Middle-aged people are, too, much fatter than when I was young. This isn't a common grumbling of an aging person, the trend can be measured fairly well.

I am not sure how our public healthcare systems will cope 20-30 years down the line. Aging (greying) of the population plus chronic metabolic diseases caused by obesity, treatable but not yet curable, will be a double whammy.
I know eating healthy food for non-caloric nutrients is important. But don't most people already eat at least some healthy food? Couldn't most obese people get back to a healthy weight just by cutting out junk food, without adding any more healthy food to replace it?

Hopefully the money you make at work bleeds out into real life. :-) Also, I think a lot of people stay in touch with their college friends.

Besides that, the recognition that your school or office is a bubble universe in certain ways sounds like an important one. You sound like you're attempting to refute the idea but I think you're making a good point. Someone who implicitly thought their highschool was the whole universe would be in bad shape when they graduated.
And eventually even that kind of tape will wear out, too. Though I suppose it might be more of a concern in commercial usage than at home…

One interesting fact I've come across is that e.g. when Bob Dylan's "electric trilogy" first came out on CD, they apparently had to do new remixes of Bringing It All Back Home and Blonde On Blonde not because they just felt like it, like they so often seem to do these days for artistic and/or sales-tactical reasons, but simply because by that time the original master tapes (including the safety copy) had worn out somewhat through continuous re-pressings of the original vinyl albums.

When mountain biking, yes I put sunscreen on at least the back of my neck, tops of my knees, and forearms if I'm out mid day. But mostly I try to be on trail near sunrise for cooler temps and less sun exposure. When out on the water or spending the day in the sun I wear a wide brim hat and a long sleeve sun shirt and put sunscreen on my nose and neck. I try to minimize my sunscreen usage because of the sketchy chemicals but still can't live without it in some cases.
In my opinion, nothing can make you smarter. Learning rationalist techniques may make you better at thinking through problems, learning memory techniques like Memory Palace may improve your memory, using learning techniques like Spaced Repetition may help you learn and retain large amounts of information with the minimum necessary effort, but nothing can make you smarter.
Not necessarily, e.g. the Normans had a well-deserved reputation of being extraordinarily violent on their own. Even Norman bishops were known to travel armed and get into fights. (And the state back then was far too weak to prevent such behavior even if it wanted to.)

Also, gangs can be seen as proto-states, and a lot of today's criminal violence is gang-related. There isn't really that much difference between, say, drug cartels and the kind of violent packs of future nobility that raided and terrorized Early Middle Age villages in the post-Roman world.
They still have that design ...
I came to Sandman expecting something approaching the early seasons of American Gods, was sorely disappointed. The storytelling is fine in Sandman, but the lack of graphic flamboyance really takes it somewhere else than where I hoped.
Tale of the lost psychedelia I guess: what's on screen is readable TV, stable clear shots, not the focused freedom of the graphic novels.

Do you believe violent crimes require a violent penalty?
Roundup ready plants make it useful to saturate them with poison which you do eat. I don't buy organic. I am poor.
Totally agreed. They made it an emotional drama while the story is far more than mere emotions. With forced cliffhangers and petty emotional dialogue, it just feels so fast - whereas the original often gives you space and time to ponder upon the deep ideas it plays with.
Why are so many people obese?

Do that many people just not know better? I know some people really have no idea how calories work but I see obese smart people who should know better.

Do people just not care? I understand some people not caring, like computer scientists or “manly” men. But even they should understand that obesity is really bad for health and QOL. They don’t have to become normal weight either: being overweight doesn’t have the negative physical and mental health effects, but they are obese to the point where it does affect those things.

Are they hungry? I get this part. I’ve experienced real hunger and it’s not the “just wait until dinner” kind. I could never maintain a normal weight if I had to endure constant hunger and the effects associated with it (low energy, brain fog, mood dysregulation - these are very real things people experience when not eating enough, and which fat people experience even when eating enough when they have hormonal issues).

Except, obese people also eat junk food which makes you more hungry. If it was hunger I would expect to see more people eating large plates of protein and vegetables, but it seems like even with CICO most people just don’t get fat on protein and vegetables. Do whole foods just not satiate? Or do people not understand which foods make you feel full, which make you satisfied, and which make you satisfied while tasting good (skinless chicken breast and raw salads with no dressing are not good meals).

I don’t have anything against obese people. But supposedly over 40% of Americans are obese, and many are obese in other countries. This is very strange and honestly depressing. Maybe it’s because I live in communities where less people are obese (college towns and a suburban community in a very blue state), because indeed while I see obese people it seems like way less than 40%. Particularly depressing is child obesity, which is really strange because kids tend to have higher metabolisms and even skinny kids’ diets are really junky.

I think most people would really like to be not obese, and if those people could lose weight with low effort it would be a huge benefit to them and society. So it’s important to understand why so many people are obese. Because like I said, 40% are obese despite most knowing better, and a lot of people seem to be like “yeah”.
That'll probably go okay but only as long as the relevant authorities don't discover it. Officially, almost all governments want to collect tax revenue from anyone working in their territory. But it's hard to catch remote-working contractor digital nomads who skirt the rules by using temporary business travel or visitor exceptions.

Many people do it but it's important to remember you're taking a risk and plan accordingly. As more people do it, authorities will prioritize trying to catch them and get better at detection and enforcement. Don't assume you won't eventually get caught, instead assume you will get caught and be resilient to it. Set things up so it won't be catastrophic or too costly if you have to suddenly relocate with no notice and also keep plenty of cash set aside to pay fines/back taxes. They key is avoiding doing things that make you easier for authorities to spot - usually financial transactions, living and travel arrangements. Also, you need to avoid doing stuff that brings any official attention your way. It's obviously best to keep relocating to another country every four to eight weeks with no more than 90 days in any country in a year but that gets tiring for many and that's when they get overconfident and slip-up.

To me, it sounds like your friend's approach wasn't very cautious. Keeping such a regular documented travel pattern and living in the same place long-term will look suspicious if your friend gets questioned by authorities, even for something completely unrelated like a loud party or traffic ticket. All it takes is one cop who's having a bad day making an extra phone call.
It would be fucked up if prosecutors weren't winning well over 90% of their cases, because being prosecuted is a punishment in and of itself --- it's ruinously expensive. So you'd very much hope prosecution is reserved for slam-dunk cases, as federal prosecution is in the US, where prosecutors also have a ~95% success rate.

They alternative, where prosecutors lose so many cases that their win rate goes down into the 70's or 60's, implies that prosecutors are taking lots of flyers just see how the cases shake out. That would be a tremendous abuse.
This was more or less my response as well. The 'academy as monolith of truth' is so 20th century. And, of course, disagreeing with Newton is very different that disagreeing with Freud. And we certainly aren't surprised that dupes got the Dunning Kruger.

But I worry about the impact of this line of thinking as we see it repeated in mainstream contexts. "Consensus as measure of truthiness" is incredibly problematic.
It doesn't matter. If anyone outside the "norm" is included, a group of folks online will be angry about it. They're a minority and can safely be ignored (and probably about other topics as well).
1. I think giving a proper set of rules in the screen incorrectly titled "how to play" would help a lot. Currently it doesn't tell you how to play, it just says what the win conditions are: "Get rid of all of the tiles before running out of moves."

2. The animation is actually quite misleading, given the absence of rules. When you pick a tile from the bottom row, tiles that will be part of the new bottom row (or touching a tile on the new bottom row) become solid before they slide down to the bottom. (This may only be detectable on slow devices. Unfortunately, the animation for your game is extremely slow and janky on my Android phone from 2019.) This gives the impression that my touch has somehow transformed them, and I spent probably a dozen "games" frustratedly trying to figure out how they were being transformed before I realized that it was just a misleading animation.

IMO the way it should work is that the removed tiles should disappear, then all tiles should slide to the bottom, and only then should tiles newly located on the bottom become solid.
I think it depends where you are in your career. Is it worth it for you to shell out your money for a cert? Maybe. I know earlier in my career a Red Hat cert opened doors for me (but my employer paid for it to show team competencies). But, now it would be to prove a point or something like beta testing it.
I’ve done almost exactly what you bought the Oculus for - results were promising, but not good enough currently.

Reason: resolution is too small. Hard to truly see the code, even when I bought lens inserts that matched my prescription.

I really like using Immersed VR though, it was cool to be able to have 5 different screens. Although, frankly, I’m probably more productive using a generic iMac with no other external monitors.
I have no issue with bringing attention to police violence against any citizen. The problem is that not every instance of police violence or killing is unjustified, which is the way it is portrayed by BLM and the media. In fact, most of them are justified based on the circumstances.

Nor does it make sense to call your organization or movement "black lives matter" when you literally ignore the everyday violence in black communities that kills 99% of black people.
I like the speed of Ninja, and the flexibility of having a stage that generates the ninja (or make) files. But it's a bit unclear to me what the best practice is for when to generate the ninja files. It feels like the programmer is expected to do this stage manually and there's no great automatic way to generate the ninja files when they need to be generated. How do good build systems solve this?

HBO, now under control of cost-cutting Discovery+ executives, may not be taking risks for much longer.

a California surfer, with deep tan, told me that he avoids direct sun from "10 to 2".. that does not mean by the clock exactly, it means you look up and raise your arms, one hand pointing to "10 o'clock" position and the other to "2 o'clock position" .. if the overhead sun is between those, avoid direct sun exposure. Secondly, fog and clouds do not protect you as much as you might think
I exaggerated. Jumper was a few years out of grad school competing against groups like the Baker Lab which are household names in the protein design community.
