Sure, that's true.

Except that for some of us, society has already decided for us that our life isn't worth living (often without even knowing the first thing about us other than that we currently this instant don't have a bunch of money to give away to others who might be able to save us from suffering or dying), by denying many of us basic medical care (in so-called "rich" nations, even), yet the general consensus seems to be that while we apparently don't deserve to live, we also don't deserve a dignified death, but rather ongoing and growing misery and pain until we either die of "natural" causes (societal neglect) or take our own lives in some messy and possibly dangerous way.
> when the "world" for all practical purposes included only European powers

The United States, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and Australia all entered the war.

There were significant theaters of the war in Africa and the Middle East.

China was initially neutral in WWI but did eventually declare support for the Entente and sent 140,000 laborers to Europe. [1]

Brazil entered the war after losing ships to German U boats. [2]

Over a million Indian troops participated. [3]

Thailand, New Guinea, and Samoa were involved [4]

And I’m just scratching the surface. The very worst fighting was concentrated in the industrial meat grinders of the front lines in Europe but there was significant participation from all corners of the earth. It earned the name “World War.”

I read the book, familiar with the topic, met professionals similar to those mentioned in the book in real life, and would recommend it; both for knowledge of the topic and entertainment.

What exactly are you hoping to find in a book? For what it’s worth, read the excerpt on Amazon for the book you recommended and to me, seems like historical fiction with little to do on the actual topic itself; clearly it’s an excerpt though.

Very big +1 for Xpra.

I agree. That's why I habitually add "wiki" to most of my search phrases in the first place, in order to circumvent the whole SEO trash and get to the point.

Google prolly cannot earn money simply by featuring high quality stuff like Wikipedia or nerd websites. Usually SEO farms spend money on Google to earn money. So that's why search really cannot improve in my opinion due to this conflict of interest.

It doesn't track you outside of Apple apps that serve advertising. The tracking is opt-in.
Commenting to go against the current replies who seem to deny obvious social and biological facts.

It's interesting that those types of comments usually come from the same people who would call animals "non-human animals" to show that humans are "just" another animal. Yet when you remind them Nature doesn't keep things that haven't found an equilibrium, they freak out...

Yes, any human group will naturally or forcefully get hierarchically ordered. "Anarchy" is just a fancy idea that doesn't pass reality's test. Or that won't be real "anarchy".
The headers are not the wasteful part. Headers are typically in the low-hundreds of bytes. This extra data is insignificant as "waste" compared to the request/response content.

The real waste is in the time it takes to create and destroy the connection. (hence why http/3 switched to UDP, and also why multiplexing is a thing.)

Thing is, combining js and css on the server side into 1 file pretty much negates this speed benefit. I've been building sites this way forever, and performance is great. First page takes longer, but then those files are in the cache anyway.

The actual problem is Ads. They require tracking, and of course displaying. If you're looking for waste, or indeed why a server would bother with http/3 then look no further. No ads, no problem.

Unfortunately for those sites that rely on advertising for revenue, I don't have an alternative suggestion. I get it, ads pay for lots of the Internet I "browse". I'm not a fan of pay walls and subscriptions.

So http/3 is a solution to an economic reality - and really only benefits the ad-supported Web - but for them it is important.

UK and Australia don't count? You pay stamp duty, but that is up front. And council taxes / water and sewage, but they are utilities not taxes on the property per-se and are relatively small compared to the property price.
With the current advances of PV and, amazingly at the same time, wind energy, we certainly don't need more nuclear fission plants. It is pretty obvious by now that building a PV factory and a battery factory instead of a NPP is the economic solution. At the same time, we're well on a way to global energy abundance even though we're in a local crisis right now. The only thing I am worried about is that PV capacity is currently way too concentrated in a single state.

Oh yes, that is so badly done on iOS! I thought I was the only person bothered by copy and paste on the iPhone.

Even Apple’s own Messages app won’t let you copy single words. I end up having to paste the entire message into the Notes app (having fought its UI to get a blank page first).

How about text entry on iOS in general? It seems almost designed to cause typos and autocorrect mistakes. Whole websites are devoted to laughing at users who make them.

It's not that crazy if you separate it into two parts.

A) Use arithmetic coding to encode symbols as fractions instead of using an integer number of bits for each symbol. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arithmetic_coding http://www.ws.binghamton.edu/fowler/fowler%20personal%20page...

B) Shuffle the bits around so that you can use faster math and lookup tables instead of directly operating on fractions.
Reviews of that book don't seem to mention any original source revelations about funding the western political movements. As it's not openly accessible this would need a citation from the book for credibility I think.

> I think it’s more likely we get to better forms of organization by moving forwards, not backwards.

Now you're implying that anarchism, based on more egalitarian principles than what we have now, is "moving backwards"? Or did I misunderstand this?

> Sure maybe, but it’s on you to elaborate how that could happen, or provide examples.

I feel like research into system safety and performance -- some of it has disseminated into modern management training -- emphasises a low power gradient and a Westrum generative culture. In other words, what we know indicates we should move at least a little bit away from feudalism and toward anarchism.

Even the traditionally strictly hierarchical armed forces are moving toward decentralised control, "commander's intent", initiative on the ground, etc.

> My experience dealing with many different government agencies...

This is very observant! I think it would be better to recognise this explicitly and start from the assumption that power is flexible and informal, rather than keep trying to pretend it's something else.
What people are paying all of their bills and looking through all of their statements on a phone? Maybe on a tablet, that accords more screen space. People can do a lot of things on phones these days but I am unconvinced that it is the optimal form factor. There are plenty of websites for boring necessary sensitive financial/legal/government/academic work that either has no mobile website or has very badly made mobile sites thus necessitating access by computer.

We’re skirting awfully close to Godwin’s law here aren’t we?

One of the deepest insights I found in Caste by Isabel Wilkerson was that most people, when put in the position, would capitalize on the opportunity to subjugate their fellow humans. I’m not saying I want to do that, I’m just saying that is reality as I have seen it play out.

> Or do you just want to throw tour hands in the air

Quite the opposite, see my reply to your sibling, I think we can do get farther by working in the systems we’ve evolved vs throwing them all away. I’m not sure anarchism is a good approach to avoiding path dependency in the search for an optimal government, which may not even be possible –as you said, no system is an end itself. We’re going to keep discovering new problems to solve, and I think we’d be better equipped with advanced forms of government. That doesn’t mean they can’t be made simpler or be organized better than they are today.

No it's absolutely not. Libertarianism is similar to anarcho-capitalism which itself has mostly nothing in common with anarchism. Promoting individual freedom over everything else including when it enables exploitation of others by negating the existence of social classes and other forms of domination because everything can be contracted in a free market has literally nothing to do with anarchism, it's even hard to come up with something that could be farther.

Is HN Down?
Obviously it isn't. But my question is why this question gets so many upvotes every time a site that isn't responding immediately to someone on the Internet, and their immediate reflex is to ask HN if it's down. Like "Yay, I'm the first to notice! Did you?"

It reminds me of when we used to get excited every time modem downloads reached a certainly high cps. It is meaningless and even expected every once in a while.

It seems like a really strange behaviour to me, and it is an HN trope by now for something that is a genuinely uninteresting question. Especially since it sometimes it's just their own ISP or whatever.

Should I be posting my download speeds to keep them excited?

AGI would be something that is able to do many different tasks without needing to be specifically built for. It could learn and do. Like a person. It can learn to drive car and then learn to iron clothes.

It does not need to be self aware. Can still be considered a machine.

People think if we get to AGI, maybe we'll get to self awareness. But we won't know that until it happens. We don't fully understand how sentience works.
Quick everyone, get rid of all the cranes and cement mixers! That'll have them scratching their heads.
It's the right word in the context I used it.

"API" refers to the whole thing. API does not refer specifically to how statements are written or how accessible or readable its custom patterns and expression are to read and write.

I like the jQuery syntax. This means I like how the expressions tie together in the way they do, using the custom syntax it employs for representing objects, methods etc. I'd give example of some expressions I like the syntax of, but it sounds like you're not interested.

Maybe you're offended because I highlighted your less than helpful advice to "try new stuff", which was a response to someone expressing their like of Jquery. They weren't looking for advice, or revealing a problem. You turned their like of Jquery into a problem, and now you're turning my use of a word into another problem.
I should note though that due to the strength differences this analysis may not be complete. Technically carbon fiber is stronger so you can get away with a thinner sheet while having similar strength. Using a thinner sheet might save on carbon fiber costs. However, I still believe this analysis illustrates the significant cost difference.
Sounds like newspeak to me...
Storage level compression usually benefits whomever owns the storage.

I doubt Amazon intends to bill on compressed size.
A truly prosperous country should give its citizens free energy and utilities, provide infrastructure and law/order, basic services etc without taxation.

Interestingly, it has only been achieved by a handful of middle eastern countries because they have the natural resources to support its population.

I think a close second is Singapore where no one is left behind. But I classify it as a very desirable benevolent dictatorship.

So basically only dictatorships and monarchies can truly take care of its population. Looks like it’s a failure of democracy. Communism has proven to be a failure.

A tax should be imposed on the resources from the commons and redistributed to everyone. Taxation of human beings/human capital/private property is perverse. That seems to be possible in monarchies and dictatorships. Where do we go from here?
I haven't done the math, but my intuition would be that people living there would give you more tax revenue per unit of area than office spaces and their parking lots. Parking lots are dead areas that will not generate tax directly and roads are huge sinks of tax money, even if the people using them are not working in your commune.
> Right up until climate change destroys your ivory towers.

any state with power can decide how to regulate the commons/natural resources/etc. capitalism exacerbates latent issues through its mandate to continually grow consumption, but a government could feasibly enforce that its citizens’ activities be environmentally neutral regardless of economic system, if it so desired.
On the last point I feel obligated to point out that 120 bn people are estimated to have ever lived on the planet, of those a 100 bn lived before 1750, 60 bn before 1 CE, 10 bn before 8000 BCE.

That means that if you took 100 people from human history, 15 of them would have heard of press, 50 of writing, 90 of agriculture. Not so many humans in a state of nature there.

> We can also deal with water shortages through desalination.

I mean we can't. Shipping water is _hugely_ expensive. Assuming that we make electricity for free, the amount of water needed to irrigate the bit between the Rockies and Appalachians is huge. Literally millions of tons of water a minute.

All of that energy could be used to do something more useful.

Especially as we can do a few things to keep water about longer that helps stops flooding and keep ground water higher.

Yes, we need more power. Yes nuclear is the answer. However the reason that we didn't build them is because it was expensive, and without government incentives they don't get built.

If you're going to address non-native English speakers, using acronyms like FTR (I suppose that refers to for-the-record, but one can never be sure on the Internet... could easily be something like for-the-retarded in some circles) may not be the best idea, BTW (by the way :D).

I think Xpra might work? It's basically like screen/tmux for X. You start an app with Xpra and it creates an X session. You can attach to that locally or remotely (eg over ssh).

That contains some examples of how it can be used. I don't use it much, and I don't know if there are simply GUIs to make it easy to use.
I forgot to note that the Carbon fiber comparison isn't entirely comprehensive. Carbon fiber is stronger so you could get away with a thinner sheet which saves money. However, I will say it still somewhat illustrates the significant cost difference there. If you do have a big enough cubesat then I do think it could make a difference to launch costs. However, the advantages of aluminum and significant drawbacks to carbon fiber mean that using it isn't practical regardless.
Direct communication with ground stations is usually impractical for continuous communication for a couple reasons: they're over subscribed, and there aren't any stations where your satellite spends a lot of time.

Best bet is if starlink, oneweb, etc. provide a service for satellites to relay your data back.
You are grossly misrepresenting the situation. Google has played a significant role in HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 development, and they did provide the starting point in each case, but they have not controlled it, and what has come out of IETF after collaboration with many interested parties is significantly different from what Google first proposed. And Google is far from the only party that wants, uses and will benefit from HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

And once talking about all this, the Chrome team is one of the less important parts of Google in bringing about HTTP/2 and HTTP/3.

Yes, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 are more complex than HTTP/1, but these are not the ways Google is harming the web—these are the good parts of what Google is helping to improve the web.

You are yearning for the simple and inefficient days of yore, but those days are gone. The internet is a part of society now, and keeping it inefficient and slow does no one any good.

Your tirade is misguided and significantly factually inaccurate.
It's worth checking out the link I provided to the Bank of England's document on modern banking and "loans make deposits", as opposed to your outdated view that "deposits make loans".

Fractional reserve banking is not how modern banking works. Banks must maintain a liquidity but otherwise the loans are money they made up, they simply tell the central bank they made a loan.
