I might need to repeat this a few more times, but I am not proposing a single provider. I'm proposing a multitude, regionally-based, monopolies, owned by the relevant state authority (municipal, provincial, federal), based on the scope. Those could be state-owned companies, coop, non-profits, I don't care: the point is that internet access is fundamentally a monopoly, so it should be state-owned, just like roads and water (ways).
Telegram is just the middleman between sender and receiver.
When you write on HN, the receiver is HN. That message is transported via E2E https encryption so it's secure.
But because HN displays all messages publicly you can read them after they were received.

This doesn't change the fact that the transport as such is E2E.

I just wanted to say that you (content blocker devs) have been heard, maybe not by the majority of browser users but at least people like me are championing Firefox over webkit-based browsers precisely because to do otherwise would be to loose control of the web to FAANG, especially Google.
I've been telling everyone who would listen about how Google leverages Chrom(e/ium) against user interests and have deployed Firefox to every friend & family user whose machines I support.
I especially dislike messages such as "we improved the tubes and more videos of cats" or "we improved performance and explored the edge of the universe" that you see on apps such as Youtube. Sometimes when I open the app, the UI is completely different. Is that what they refer to "tube improvements"? F*ck them..

I agree with all of your points. But it's worth pointing out that most "public intellectual" interactions become a form of Kabuki theater. It might be a friendly interview, where you can guess what questions are going to be asked and what the answers are. Or it might be an antagonistic debate, where the two sides are yelling talking points at each other. But it's rarely surprising.

What's interesting about Rogan is you can often find theses talking head types getting easily flummoxed by normal questions that are outside of the ritualized interactions they're used to. Watch Rogan talk to Shapiro about his criticism of Colin Kaepernick, or him asking Bari Weiss why she calls Tulsi Gabbard an "Assad toady." He seems to like both of them (perhaps even to the poitn where both are friends), but his simple questions end up making both of them look completely foolish. And because he's genuinely curious and doing it in a non-aggressive manner, it doesn't get lost in the furor of a antagonistic debate format.

Again, I agree with your criticisms of him and could add several more myself. I think it's one of those situations where in the valley of the blind, the one eyed man is king. The traditional forms of public debate are so shallow that a curious guy just asking random questions can short circuit most of the folks there.

One of the things I appreciate about Joe Rogan is that, unlike other podcasts I've listened to, he actually lets the person on the other side talk.

There are several podcasts that I will occasionally listen to where the host of the show repeatedly talks over whoever else is on the podcast with him. Usually the brunt of it is a "sidekick" or co-host.

I get it, it's your show, but like, if someone is talking, let them talk!

Maybe it's the longer format that gives that "breathing room." No matter: I can listen stress-free without getting upset that someone is saying something and he keeps barging in.
I use:

if (all_of(mask, WGPUColorWriteMask_Alpha | WGPUColorWriteMask_Blue))

Britain at the time wasn't as democratic as it is today certainly, but it was far more democratic than Napoleon's Empire that it was fighting against. Napoleon liked to pretend that he defended the French Revolution's ideals of liberty, equality and fraternity, but in fact he went around creating new kingdoms and making his relatives monarchs.

Go to youtube and look up the Jon Stewart and Jim Cramer interview (this happened after the 2008 financial crisis).

Then look up Jon Stewart on Crossfire.

I can't find a version of that interview that isn't edited, you really should watch the entire thing as it went out over the air.

But here's one that shows the important parts (imo). Note the timestamp is 57 seconds

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RkqzRs95Sc&t=57s

Jon Stewart was publicly saying what everyone wanted to say. The only person he could get ahold of was Jim Cramer, but you can FEEL the anger. That anger wasn't just Jon, it was your average Americans.

---

Jon Stewart was consistently getting named in polls as the most TRUSTWORTHY news source, and a lot of it was for this. As a comedian he was pointing out the ridiculousness of the politics, and he wasn't doing it because it was a republican in office.

Because Jon Stewart was saying what most people WANTED to say.

I can't find the skit, but during the Iraq war the US lost _PALLETS_ of money. Think about that. PALLETS OF MONEY. Jon Stewart did a skit where he made fun of it because how ridiculous is that? You send literal pallets of money and don't put enough security on it to prevent it from disappearing?

---

There's this idea of court jester's as being the only people who could safely say certain things. I'm no historian so I can't speak to that historical accuracy, but that's how I view Jon Stewart.

People are aware that he's a comedian, and they're aware that he's highlighting very specific things. But given the news media then (and today), there's a reason he was considered by many people to be the most trustworthy news source.

When Jon made those statements about only being an entertainer, he was defending himself from attacks by the media, not by your every day American people. That statement in particular, put in context, was him showing how ridiculous it was for these organizations to be attacking him.

There was no Google Maps then, and with Google maps you cannot see how many stories a building has e.g.

Just to detect pools there's also not much AI needed, just analyzing cheap satellite images and overlay it with the tax map. Colors give away everything.

BTW: AI is the most overrated word of the decade. Amongst lispers we used to call AI just using proper search algorithms and data structures, not even using symbolic expressions anymore.
It should be pretty clear if you look at Joes career outside of the podcast. For 30 years he has been in the entertainment industry with stand up comedy, television (News Radio and Fear Factor), to announcing UFC fights.

He was one of the fist big podcasts and livestreamers before others started doing the same. Most of his initial (and repeat) guests are simply friends from these various industries.

"Mozilla did kill XPCOM" isn't a deviation from their stated intent. XPCOM was a magnet for Hyrum's Law problems, because obviously XPCOM plugins are going to depend on the inner workings of the browser, that's just how XPCOM is designed - so now if you touch these internals it breaks third party stuff. There were operating systems which took the approach XPCOM has to extensibility, they're not doing so great: Classic Mac OS, the Amiga Workbench, MS DOS... That's just not a sustainable situation, Mozilla had to kill XPCOM.

So to the extent Mozilla failed to deliver here it's on the replacement APIs. But how much is enough?

I would like lots of things to have APIs that don't. For example I'd like a way to do some basic queries on the built-in Public Suffix List for Firefox instead of needing to either bake the PSL into each plugin (and keep it up to date) or call out to a web API (ugh) or just guess that TLDs are "enough" and make everybody who needs other suffixes mad.

But in that particular case there are two reasons we don't have such APIs. #1 Nobody did the work. I didn't do the work, you didn't do the work, the work didn't get done. #2 In many cases (I think not mine but it's always arguable) the PSL is the Wrong Thing™ and so encouraging more use of the PSL makes things worse.
In theory yes, in practice no. And the committee usually has no idea.

Exactly, that's one way. But instead of what currently happens, which is that the CB prints money and gives it to the banks, and they then buy assets, inflating asset prices (and thus rents, and prices generally), you give it directly to the people, so they can spend it on goods and services that they actually need, and which are provided by other people.
I will disagree with things he says and not personally like that he gives some people access to a huge audience, but I will never discredit the fact that he (and others behind the scenes) have made it this far by being sort of podcasting purists.

There might be only two major changes JRE has gone through content wise during the hundreds of episodes: no more co-host and no live broadcast. That's remarkably good and he had good enough taste to not ever take part in things like mid-show ads (as in stopping the chat in its tracks and starting to read ads).

It's rare that someone can land it so early on and keep that magic recipe going. I bet touring radio shows for his entertainment business helped him gauge what kinds of radio shows were nice vs. the ones that were cumbersome.

Why would something being a default imply that there is no real disadvantage to adopting the alternative position? Taking other examples, if the default is for women to have sex with only a single man, why is it implied that there are no disadvantages to women having sex with many men? At least in the way I think of defaults, the value of the default vs the alternative is an entirely different variable.

Yes because generally people who sell shit want to keep selling shit to the same people. So there is an incentive to sell stuff that is as close as possible to what the customer wants. Yes you get cases where people cut coke with fentanyl, but in general this is not how it works.
I'm not sure if you can get reliable excess mortality data for China, without that this approach would obviously fail. But I think this specific analysis is also a bit more focused on the earlier parts of the pandemic, and before Omicron at least it looked like China's policy seemed to work well in terms of stopping the spread. With Omicron this seems much more dubious.
With many white collar jobs not requiring an office presence 5 days a week, and with crime rates rising, living outside urban areas becomes more attractive. Outside such areas you often need a car. As self-driving capabilities improve, cars will become more valuable. Car accidents have been increasing, but a resumption of traffic law enforcement could stem that trend, as could self-driving cars.
Which is what you should be counting. All the captain hindsight warriors now trying to use numbers now in attempts do discredit the actions taken in response to covid act like we were collecting numbers for their benefits. The reason it was important how many people where in hospital with covid was because we were trying to take measure to prevent overloading the healthcare system.

"Technicolor has annoying fuzziness around objects. See Wizard of Oz."

This happens with Technicolor only when it's processed badly and the registration isn't done with sufficient precision. I agree, this has happened from time to time.

Moreover, you also have to consider where the source material for the Technicolor process originated from. Tri-separated B&W negatives were used in the late 1930s, Wizard of Oz being one and the other major notable Gone With The Wind.

Prints from tri-separations can be quite excellent, in fact brilliant as the colour can be precisely adjusted. Also colour 'compromises' don't have to be made in the printing as is intrinsically the case with film that use colour couplers - Eastmancolor (Eastman color negative, its internegative and theatre release/print stock) to name just a few.

(Colour couplers in film emulsions are at best compromises as they have to be compatible with the processing chemistry and many of the best colour dyes and pigments are not. Processes that do not use colour couplers such as Kodachrome and Technicolor are much superior in this regard as stable dyes with the correct (or best) colour can be used. Colour couplers also lower the resolution of an emulsion although in many modern emulsions this isn't a significant problem.)

Nevertheless, if tri-separated B&W originals are used after being stored a long time then shrinkage differences in the three negatives can pose printing/registration issues.

It would be interesting to know the source of your Wizard of Oz, - as some years back the DVD version took this into account when the film was remastered. Every frame of the tri-separated B&W printing masters was resized to ensure its geometry was identical to all others. I've seen that remastered copy and its registration is excellent.

Incidentally, the very last version of the Technicolor processes of the 1950s was the best colour film system for movies ever devised before they went digital. However, one needs to bear in mind that many so-called Technicolor films are only hybrids, as they use Eastmancolor (or other) film stock for both the original source and for later dupes from earlier Technicolor theatre release prints. They, along with multigeneration copies, often create many issues including low (fuzzy) resolution and muddy cross-colour effects.

When making a claim like you have it's imperative you first check a film's manufacturing/printing methods. Tracing its manufacturing provenance is absolutely essential.

Edit: FYI, pre-WWII B&W film emulsions as used in the Wizard of Oz were never as grain-free or as sharp as modern-day equivalents are. You also need to ensure that you aren't drawing any comparison to these much newer products. The Technicolor process should not be blamed for limitations in the source material.
Probably not as a web dev; senior / lead Java developer, Oracle DBA, managerial level at big companies like banks and insurance might get you closer to that. But to be blunt, you're probably not worth 200K as a web developer.

Absolutely, most people wouldn't be fine with the second, because most people have grown up in a society where men have held the overwhelming majority of positions of privilege and power. When we're talking about a woman taking looking at a man's work what we're really saying is "That work environment might be so dominated by men that there isn't even a single woman in the office who could provide a different perspective due to her lived experience". The counter "Well a man should look over this work" invests a world in which a workplace could be so dominated by women that they would lack even a single man to offer an opinion on a piece of work. The idea that a reporter at a news organization could have an entire management chain above them of exclusively men isn't far-fetched. The counter - a woman only chain of management would be incredibly rare.

It's important that we see the world as it is, rather than as some theoretical thing out that where we can just plug in different variables and go "Well now look!"
