So naturally, when people prefer a certain policy, it must be because they've been "marinated" in it, and "brainwashed"? And it's "an almost North Korean degree of jingoistic .. nationalism"? It can't be that they made up their own minds?

You've just illustrated why so many people dislike "the elites". The public are adults. They decide what's in their interests and what isn't, even if it isn't what you think it should be.
I hope you're being ironic here... MUCH of software development is exactly this. Every framework of the week. Yes there are many great leaps forward, there are also a lot of engineers learning by playing and then selling or giving it away. And often on the company dime, heck often with the company congratulating them for it.

Sometimes, yea. But I more mean there’s an argument or debate and the two sides simply don’t have the same facts. And twenty minutes in you find out, “oh you thought I meant 22.1. I was taking about 24.0!”
Indeed, but in most if not all states, counties are severely constrained in terms of how much money they can raise and distribute (or re-distribute, if you will). The powers of governmental entities within the state are controlled by the state.

I joined a discord channel to help people with some tech I’m an expert at. As a side effect I’m now one of the “regulars” and we lightly chat a bit through the week. It feels about right for me.
Sure. My point is that when you consider the range of such possible mechanisms, no matter where you draw the line between permissible and impermissible, we're still talking about what it's okay for the state (not private entities) to do.

It's probably my fault, but I find myself unable to read between your lines and tease out your point.
If you need it spelled out, the second sentence points out that you can have working water supply with little funds, and so if the failing US municipalities cannot manage to have working water supply despite having a lot more funds than other places, the problem does not stem from the lack of funds.

I like this trend for Dallas and think it is long overdue. Covid made it very obvious. The city has grown a ton in recent history but has had a hard time bringing people to downtown for anything other than work. It's usually dead in evenings and on weekends. Restaurants struggle unless they cater to the lunch crowd, etc. While it's improved in the past ~5 years or so versus the previous ~10; I've seen recent numbers that say there are only about 10000-12000 residents in the Downtown area. Anyways, I've been reading a lot on the local happenings and am interesting into how this trend will reshape the area culturally/economically. For example, Texan's don't tend to put up with homeless issues like they exist and the city really needs to figure that out or this could be a wasted opportunity. These are all new "luxury apartments" and those folks aren't going to tolerate the homeless issues but even that's hard to say since we've gotten such an influx of more liberal minded folks that are more compassionate on those issues.

If you can bury tonnes personally on the order of years then you're operating on a scale where it can contribute to undoing the harm providing we solve the cause of the problem first.

If regenerating all the devestated agricultural land can sequester a hundred billion tonnes, then that makes for 10 or 20% less total to remove.

The other issue is state governments can also direct funds away from cities to the state legislators favorite pet projects. Look at the decades of underfunding of NYC's transit system for examples.

The IPv4 Unicast Extensions Project has lofty goals and many of them, like this particular one, seem overly lofty.

Some of space they are after, like 240/4, was always just "reserved" and you won't find as much resistance against it as reserved things are intended for exactly this kind of proposal. They just need to convince folks it's reasonably likely to be the best use of the space, overriding any significant unauthorized usage or alternative proposals as being less valid a use case, and it could be reasonably done. Real world implementation of the change might be a different story but they could at least get consensus that it's the intended use going forward.

Other spaces like 127/8 were actually assigned for use in the wild not just reserved for future use and despite 127.0.0.1 being most common address the others in the assigned space were definitely actually in use as well past the /16 they wish to preserve. This is especially in more networking infra focused contexts which are the things that would need to change most universally for this proposal to work. It's unlikely such a breaking standards change would get any consensus i.e. IMO that proposal is likely to never leave draft status.

David Täht, who was one of the authors of that draft, even holds regrets on the 127/8 proposal as it has caused the project to receive a lot of negative focus https://github.com/schoen/unicast-extensions/issues/16 and they have since let that draft proposal expire which is why your link is to an archived copy.

> Is there any technical reason, or is it just protectionism? (as in, no GPS lock? No lock at all, even if Galileo and Glonass are 100% fine!)

No technical reason. It's a mixture of both legitimate concern for public safety (they are newer constellations with a shorter reliability track record) and the uh, more political concerns over privacy and national security.

I wouldn't be surprised if China does the inverse considering their motivations for developing BeiDou were first and foremost to stop the US jamming the GPS receivers on their missiles. My immediate thought with the decay of US/Russia relations was that it might be a good idea to throw a switch to disable GLONASS in case they start transmitting bogus signals. My assumption is with the 'GPS first' policy, the receiver shouldn't mix in less accurate data, but without documentation I'm not sure.

Personally I'm all for having options and I have come to respect Galileo for being civilian system, rather than a military system. More than anything I want the choice to be able to enable and disable whatever constellations I want and not deal with the bullshit that is Qualcomm's undocumented GNSS receiver firmware.

> Is it legal to use a Xiaomi phone in Wifi only mode with Beidou GNSS?

It's legal to use if it doesn't transmit on someone else's licensed spectrum. It's illegal to sell in the US as a navigation receiver (EDIT: without it being disabled in firmware). But you are free to do whatever you want with captured signals with only a very few restrictions (like sniffing cordless phone bands). I've even sniffed pager networks so I could track COVID cases coming in, afaik it's only illegal if I share what I see.

> I would love to play with Beidou!

Same. I told a GPS launch commander I'd like to play with their system and he got incredibly butthurt. I told him to stop being a bitch and either make the US system better or stop excluding civvies from using it to its fullest potential. There's no commercial alternatives in the US as all commercial satellite projects get heavily subsidized by the US military and they don't want competitors.

It depends what you’re looking for.

1. Join a social club (golf, shooting, cars, etc) or if you’re religious in any way a church (or equivalent in your area / belief system). These help build connections in the local community and branch out. It’s good socially and professionally.

2. Go to meet ups / conferences and force yourself to meet people and make connections. Meet for coffee, lunch, etc

3. Keep in touch with former coworkers. I tend to reach out to everyone at least twice a year and wish everyone happy new year, etc.

4. Reach out to people on GitHub, linkedin, what have you via email. I tend to meet some interesting folks that way.

I personally blog, post here a lot, have a farm (work with neighbors to get stuff done - the farm is not where I live), join local social groups and make sure I know my neighbors where I live and get together.
Agreed, I'd be much more interested in the How than the Why.
It's scary how easily some people are convinced that they're scientifically superior to others. This study is weak as hell; just because a scientist came to a conclusion in a study does not mean it's correct

In the fifth grade, I was sent home as punishment for not saying the "Pledge of Allegiance" in public school.

It's always been about brainwashing. Always has.

> You've just illustrated why so many people dislike "the elites". The public are adults. They decide what's in their interests and what isn't, even if it isn't what you think it should be.

I've seen what an adult is. "You've been alive for 18 years". That's it. No knowledge checks. No requirement of anything, really.

And your response cements this pervasive idea that "My ignorant opinion is worth just as much as your well studied scientific opinion". That's what our society is facing right now, on every public forum.
Higher resolution[0], and another subject from similar angle[1].

My grandparents lived in Brooklyn, and when I was pretty young, they took me to the roof of one of the Twin Towers, the Empire State Building, and across the ferry and up the Statue of Liberty, probably in 1975/6. I still remember bits of that visit, that it was an overcast day and very dark, and from the roofs, I couldn't really see anything because I was probably still under 4' tall.

In 2001, I was working at a startup in Austin. I saw the second impact on television, and the rest of it. I followed my boss home, and in his mail that day (had arrived the day before) was a piece of tourism marketing from New York. It was a postcard with an image of the Twin Towers from an angle above, and written across the image was the enticement, "Get up! Get out! Get away!" Surreal.

Pedantic note, which I'm writing just in case anyone misunderstands your recommendation:

"The TeXbook" is the user manual for TeX. It is not the same thing as the book containing the (literate-program) source code for TeX, which is called "TeX: the program".

(Both are excellent, but in quite different ways, and someone looking for interesting code to read would likely be disappointed by the TeXbook, which doesn't contain that.)

One of the easiest ways is Meetup.com. If you don't find a community that works, you can create your own. Twitter is helpful for finding people and their new Circles feature looks interesting. I don't use Facebook much these days, but have joined several groups in the past. It's a lot of work, but I also once (pre-Twitter) built my own website with a forum and posted articles and tutorials that got pretty good search engine traffic and pulled like-minded people to my site.
Google's 'Rest and Vest' Days for Senior Employees Are Over, Says CEO
So this is just my experience and absolutely not some advice.

Building and talking to customers takes all my time. I stoped attending meetups and going to events if I don't have something concrete to show or to talk about.

A network is a very valuable asset, but networking looks like a productive activity where in reality it is a time and energy trap.

I wish I spent more time being social for my own sake but honestly I just don't have the time to do it all especially since I don't have someone to share the work burden.

So yeah I just live like a monk and I am mostly fine with that otherwise I would look for a cofounder.

This is in my opinion what being early stage look like, a relevant network will grow with the business.

Not only does archive.org have infinite scrolling...

It has no pagination interface for regular people!

AND YET! It has pagination on the backend! It's a URL parameter!

So I emailed them. At first, they didn't understand, they said the design team wanted infinite scroll, so I said, that's fine, infinite scroll is fine, that doesn't preclude pagination, in fact pagination is already implemented on the backend.

I offered them a couple of possible 5-minutes-to-implement unobtrusive designs and also offered to do it for free. All it requires is links since the backend is done...

https://i.imgur.com/R12ckYU.jpg (the proposal)

They don't care. They choose to die on this hill for absolutely no discernable reason; regular users who can't edit url parameters be damned.

I love them and their mission so much, but good lord, this one particular decision is so stupid. Just put the damn pagination buttons on the site so regular people can use them, they don't know how to use URL parameters!

edit: If the value of pagination isn't self-evident, one of the values of pagination is that it allows you to go back to where you were a different day or on another machine, instead of scrolling through 70+ pages of stuff you've already seen... Or, perhaps, to skip 50 pages to find much older/newer/more interesting stuff, etc...
The point is that your model of "freedom of speech" being usefully definable as a narrow legal constraint is about 50 years out of date with respect to the current censorship meta.

"Government can't throw you in jail for saying naughty stuff" is no longer useful - the tactics involved have moved past that.
> Are we supposed to believe that there is no separation between us and a bunch of rocks nearby?

I'm not sure how the above follows from the illusion of 'self'. Despite the self being an illusion, we're still persons, and thus distinct from rocks, and everything else, including other persons.

The illusion is that there's a subject at the center of experience. I.e., we don't sense that we're identical to experience, we feel that we're having an experience. That there's some locus of control, independent of the rest of our body, including our brain, that's steering the ship. That's the illusion.
Visual Studio 2010 was the first Windows app with flat design. It was almost impossible to figure out what the icons in the tool bar were doing. They slowly added some color in later releases but none of them were as clear as Visual Studio 2008.
Real problem is elites in this country from both parties made it clear they are much more concerned about wage growth than anything else. This whole last 14yrs of extraordinary asset inflation, which by the way they conveniently don’t take into account into the calculation of core CPI by some opaque terms like “hedonic adjustments”, didn’t bother Fed that they should perhaps slow down buying bonds and stop QE. Oh but the moment the worker wages finally started to rise, Fed which at this point is an extension of the elites (I mean what gives a guy who was a well connected lawyer in his past life to decide when to raise rates) decided it is time to raise the rates hard. Bunch of scumbags.
Edit:

Let’s also remember that there are real human beings involved and remember to be kind, forgiving, and not fall into vindictiveness. I don’t think this person is a terrible human being just because of a single gaffe in twitter. I’m sure we’ve all had a lot of gaffes in our time on the internets.
I have to ask, do you listen to Sam Harris' podcast? His last two episodes have touched on both aspects of your post - the paradigmatic shift that can occur simply by changing the perspective from which you view something as simple as looking at the moon, and the nature of status and the status games humans play.

eh, theoretically yes, but over the pandemic and post its been clear that co-working spaces are just filled with transient people checking out that area for a few weeks, and nobody there knows anybody, there is no bar group for a happy hour in that area, and no natural reason to approach anyone.

Co-working space was the way to go for me. Some co-working spaces are run by very friendly and out-going community managers that really work hard to bring people together and I think this works well especially for shy/introverted people like myself.
