At that point I believe it would be more beneficial to just have them banned from the site or block them if it's continuous harassment not police intervention. If they go further, then it's not an offensive tweet that would become threats, which is a completely different topic from offensive tweets. I don't like the idea of being put into jail because of what someone else finds offensive. Being banned from Twitter won't make it harder to get jobs and live your life, like jail time / a record will. Saying I hope something happens to someone is nowhere near as bad in my opinion as saying you're planning to do something and giving a detailed layout of someones house and daily plan.
The point of that article, and of the first study it cites, is that the effect of test prep is radically reduced when you control for the other confounding factors. That's an important concern if you're a wealthy parent wondering whether to sink extra money into test prep, but it doesn't answer the equity concern about whether unprivileged kids are at material structural disadvantage in this testing. Those confounding factors, whose controlling in the study reduces the benefit, are likely all SES factors.

By way of example, simply taking the SAT twice has an undisputed significant beneficial effect --- potentially over 100 points on the verbal? I made both my kids take both the ACT and SAT, and take them both twice. An underprivileged kid might only be taking the one test their school asks them to take.

> Consumers only have so much energy for backlash, and your theoretical system requires everyone to have an encyclopedic memory of all the shitty things that every company does and weigh all of that in their minds when making consumer choices.

Hey, uh, there's this thing called Google - most people start there when they're making a big-ticket purchase like a car. Or you could pay for Consumer Reports to get expert-level analysis. Or you can just ask people on the relevant subreddit.

Consumers have access to more information to inform buying decisions than at any point in history. So unless General Motors is the only car manufacturer in the world, people can weigh the pros and cons and make their own decisions. More intervention from government is totally unnecessary and likely even harmful in the form of generally higher prices.

I agree that you need a solid reporting structure and complaint handling. Likewise you need a solid case. It's a two way street.

Preventing counter arguments is NOT fine, that's the issue with generic claims. You can read in the article itself the extreme annoyance the activist experienced when there was a pushback.

Think of it this way, would it be fine in this situation if an additional speaker was brought in, one projecting the exact opposite of her claims? Absolutely no way that would happen, which means it's not a discussion. It's an accusation with a fixed outcome.

"but trying to prevent the discussion from happening does suggest that you benefit from the status quo."

I know this language is normalized but saying that people benefit from some status quo is a wild claim. You need extraordinary evidence. And even then it means nothing to the individual. People will keep throwing around demeaning stuff to generalize entire demographics like it's nothing, but it will never ever work.

This is why progressive politics is so broken. It builds enemies instead of allies. It burns bridges instead of making new ones.

Reminds me of the study from a a few years back that found women are looking for husbands with an income 58% higher than available men who generally are "economically unattractive". With women now being more educated than men, this issue is only going to get worse. Modern women expecting a traditional relationship simply isn't possible on a societal level. Acknowledging the downsides, or at the very least challenges, of women's empowerment still seems to be a taboo subject.

As others have already mentioned, one needs to distinguish between WebViews and "in-app native browsers" / browser overlays (SFSafariViewController on iOS, CustomTab on Android). While WebViews are bad for all the reasons mentioned in the article, overlays do serve a purpose:

- The app gets notified when the website gets closed.

- The app is hidden underneath the overlay while the website is open. That is, the overlay is tied to the app and the user can't get lost or switch back to the app before they haven't closed the website.

All these are important, e.g., for OAuth, 2FA and payment-related applications.

Overlays are also way less bad than WebViews in terms of:

- UX: The overlay uses the cookies and settings of the native browser, looks familiar, and uses an up-to-date browser engine.

- Security for the host app: The website runs in a separate process

- Security for the user: They can see the URL and be (relatively) certain that the host app doesn't have access to the website and their interaction with it (i.e. no key logging).

So while I'd support busting out of WebViews (especially when they're opening paypal.com), I'm not so sure about overlays.
Thats... extremely pessimistic. I have a VW eGolf, with our 7.6kW home charger it can go from empty - full in 4 hours. It has a 36kWhr battery w/ a range of 150 miles, so in 30 minutes that's on average a little under 19 miles (probably more because you get faster charging at first and slower when closer to full).

But more to the point, how many people have a regular commute, only have street parking at home, and ALSO couldn't be expected to have their employer provide charging at work? Are they doing on-street parking at work as well?

I know a lot of folks in the city who own a car but use it for errands and trips but not commuting. They're the people best served by slower charging at grocery stores, movie theaters, etc. 20 miles isn't a lot but if you're topping up every-time you use the car anyways it adds up or at the least means you only need to use the fast charger once every few months at the most.

“ Arweave [https://www.arweave.org/] stores files permanently using a cool "endowment" mechanism. Currently, the network has secured its storage for like 1000 years in theory.”

2 issues spring to mind:

- What happens when someone puts illegal content on it? Eg child porn. It claims to be censorship-resistant (not censorship-proof), but I imagine any system that cannot expunge data like this won’t be around for long.

- Where are the details on the 1000 years of storage? Have they got financing arranged (and already in trust funds/isolated from the rest of the business) for this storage, the maintenance of the software throughout the next 1000 years etc? Or are they relying on people to contribute resources? If I pay money to store data here (say precious, irreplaceable family photos), then come back in 50 years, what’s the odds that I will still be able to access them?

Your note on Lido being responsible for validating 99% may have been hyperbolic, but just for reference - https://beaconcha.in/pools

There's an argument to be made that there is a centralizing force in the role of the consensus/security layer for the chain, because the asset being earned (ETH) can be staked and earn further returns - However, this role and phenomenon is mirrored in the PoW world. The difference is that the centralization happens one step removed from the on-chain asset - PoW miners consolidate profit into further mining investments, such that an increasing amount of the hash rate is owned by the largest miners, who can acquire improved access to electricity and/or equipment relative to smaller miners. One could argue that a PoS system actually has less room for exploitation, however, since you can't restrict a solo-stakers access to ETH, while you could restrict (or provide severe barriers to entry) on the competition of electricity/equipment.

The concern of the "top staking provider eventually holding the vast majority of Ether" is highly unlikely. Given that the asset will soon have ETH issuance cut by 90+% as part of the merge, and the fact that there is no mechanism by which top staking providers are incentivized more than the small solo-stakers, this would soon enter the realms of the purely theoretical, and seemingly take lifetimes to happen if one could even envision it happening at all without a reallocation into other investments.

MEV is being democratized as well (whether a good thing or not, will let you be the judge), with even solo-stakers being able to use an MEV client alongside validation clients in order to benefit from additional income on block proposals (see Flashbots mev-boost client, releasing alongside the merge).

Would love to better understand whether that better informs your perspectives on the subject, or what other concerns you still have.
> I can't self-start anymore or do work that isn't demanded of me externally

I've had similar feelings in the past. For me, the way out is to flip it around: I'm not neglecting my personal project out of a lack of willpower or motivation, I've lost interest in my personal project and it's no longer rewarding enough to be worth my time! The solution is to find something new to do, not run yourself into the ground trying to see it through.

It's not a job: you don't have to deliver something for your time. Focus on what interests and excites you, not what will get internet points or make money. If you want to allocate part of your free time towards making money, treat that like a second job and not as free time.

Also, a career culminating in a permanent fellowship with an inter-dimensional time traveling think tank in your early twenties is an unrealistic standard for achievement.

Just a little feedback (worth a dime or a damn, you decide), but I come here for the comments first to judge whether clicking the link is worthwhile.

Yes, that's my point. What these articles do is effectively to "hijack" that metric.
The XDG specification is fairly young. It's a bit younger than a decade. So, I don't expect older packages to update to it.

Also, some applications use their older files if they find it, and re-create under XDG spec when they fail to find that file. KDE did that to great extent and success, for example.
It is curious, yes. In fact there are slightly more women than men in the United States (though not in some other countries). Perhaps the difference is due to the fact that women tend to live longer than men on average. I haven't checked the age group breakdown.

This difference is interesting, and needs more discussion.

The choice not to create these directories basically doesn't exist, because all sorts of software will automatically create them if they don't exist, their creation isn't centrally orchestrated. A while back I was using a minimal i3-based desktop and when I launched transmission-gtk it thought I might want a "Downloads" folder, and would create it whenever it launched, even though it had been configures to download files elsewhere.

Willing to bet you're an academic.

Hiding the fact that their textual claims don't match their data using various tricks is bog standard academic dishonesty, you see it all the time in anything social or related to public health. It's an endemic problem.

Trying to blame prior generations for defining P thresholds that are "too attractive", or just doing what they were taught, instead of blaming the current authors for doing the wrong things is absurd. No textbook is telling these people to use MTurk or not to draw proper graphs!

info on XDG: [the XDG spec](https://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-...)

tools that respect XDG, for fellow JS CLI developers:

- Sindre's libraries use [`env-paths`](https://github.com/sindresorhus/env-paths#pathsconfig) to get paths compliant with this.

- https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf simple config storing (maybe try [conf-cli](https://github.com/natzcam/conf-cli) to manipulate if needed) the successor to [configstore](https://github.com/sindresorhus/conf#how-is-this-different-f...)

I agree, but the OpenBSD did some nice things in regards to ~/Downloads

I wish they would stop this. I do not ever want a foldable phone. That's just a part to break in a year or two and force you to buy a whole new phone.
