> And still, corporations are mostly authoritarian, with top down decision making and big hierarchical structures. And worse, the majority of people are ok with this even if they champion democracy outside the workplace.

Public corporations are imperfect representative democracies, if you keep in mind that the citizens are the shareholders, not the workers. You can reconcile both if the employees have a controlling stake in the corporation, either because they collectively have most shares, or because their shares have more voting weight. This is more or less the European social-liberal model. This is being torn down following neo-liberal ideology because there seem to be more money to be made on short-term stock trading than developing a company over the long term, and that the interests of employees and shareholders are badly misaligned. Also, these employee-owned corporations are vulnerable to profit-oriented, corner-cutting companies willing to jeopardise long-term stability to race to the bottom. So this needs a specific regulation framework to work at scale.
Nice! One of those areas of science which I think really capture the public imagination.

Marketing ROI is very tricky to measure. On the other end, you would see that the more you spend the more customers you have. The question is: are those new customers due to your increased spend or not? There's all sorts of attribution magic that goes in the background to trace back adcampaigns to converting users (especially across devices). That's why the article mentions that most of the "big fraud" that was uncovered by simply turning off paid campaigns without conversions dropping. That's a pretty big giveaway that something is amiss.

There's an old saying in advertising that we know half of our budget is wasted, we just don't know which half. Ad fraud and bot traffic live in that area, kind of as expected waste.

Then there's the other issue - branding campaigns also cost an arm and a leg, and the most you get is vanity metrics like reach and likes and impressions and whatnot, which have dubious correlations with reality but they look nice on dashboards.
But we did get alsa in our kernels :D
I guess to analyse your writing style from thousands of billions of messages on Internet in order to simply link two of your accounts together is... overcomplicated?

I mean of course it could work, but except if there is a very special interest for an account, we may need to wait some decades before a list of "linked accounts" containing it in particular could emerge, right?
The problem is that voters outside of that issue will be mostly apathetic due to information asymmetries + finite bandwidth to care about issues + active disinformation and propaganda by lobby groups.

So much the case that you don't even need a majority to get negative sum policies passed. The same dynamic happens with sufficiently determined minorities. Here's a few examples. Agricultural subsidies, carried interest loophole, local planning laws, lack of action on global warming.

The cases of majority rule leading to negative sum policies are probably more rare than the impact of determined minorities. Although I can think of Black voter disenfranchisement and immigration laws off the top of my head.

It's partly a money in politics issue, but it's also deeper than that. Farmers will actively vote out anyone who wants to take away their subsidies. Non-farmers don't care enough one way or the other, because the cost is dilute. You don't need direct money in politics for that mechanism to play out.
If I understand things right, the tricky part for someone "living in a rented flat" like faebi would be the wiring, that is:

> For a small sauna, basic wiring may cost around £100 to £200

4.5kW @ 230V is 19.6 amp, while it seems the British outlet maxes out at 13 amp, like the following quote from https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/British1.html :

> BS 1363 plugs are required to carry a BS 1362 cartridge fuse. Existing BS 1362 fuse ratings are: 13, 10, 7, 5, 3, 2 and 1A ampere.

The same site says British ring circuits can typically handle 32 amp (see https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/RadialRingCircuit.html ), or 7 kW, so I assume the "basic wiring" cost is to wire into one of those existing circuits.

Which isn't something a renter can likely get away with.

In the US, 4.5kW @ 110 V is 40 amp, which is more than even a 20A circuit found in modern kitchens.

It'll require something like a dedicated 220V/30A line used for a water heater (again, in the US), which will handle 6kW. Again, not something I think feasible for most people renting an apartment.

Graph represents a data structure which consists of finite set of nodes and edges which are connecting two nodes. Best example to think of graph is social network. There nodes represent people, and edges represent friendships, or follows. For example if I were to follow you and we want to represent it with graph, there would be two nodes (me and you) and edge from me as node to you as node.

Hope it is clear :)

I agree the snark on PHP doesn't have much sense. I just don't think your reply is much better. This changes nothing - if anything, it shows that PHP needs to have libsodium integrated before it's available, which seems to be worse than other languages that can simply use it directly.
In some ways. Maybe it's more like a short VLIW :-)

Microsoft is much better about backwards compatibility and preservation than Sony, too. I have a library of Xbox and Xbox 360 discs I can just put in my Xbox Series X and still play, often with improvements. I can even still buy many titles from those generations digitally and play them on my Series X.

Meanwhile, Sony's missing many landmark titles from two generations, and your only option for playing PS3 games on a PS5 is streaming.

The key savers of democracy/capitalism seems to me to be the free flow of information, as well as people in short-lived roles (to avoid single-mindedness), such that on average good decisions can be made at all levels. Strict hierarchies like militaries and corporations can have these properties (and do well) or not (and do poorly).

The whole liberty thing _needs_ to be enforced vigorously to stop someone perverting the system into a dictatorship. In corporate life employees have some liberties - often some degree of choice in their role, trying to get a job at a different company or switch career, etc. While in a role you may be relatively constrained but constraints are common with other commitments in life like marriage, raising children, leading a volunteer organisation in your spare time, etc.
The problem with server side ad insertion as you call it is the lack of accountability.

It gives way too much power to the publisher: they want the ad money and therefore have all the incentives to commit fraud.

At the moment, having the ad distributed by a third party and a ton of other third party JS in the browser allow all parties involved to cross check each other.

The bot problem would be way worse with server side.
If you've got randomly generated username, it is, effectively a password, except that no tooling would ever treat it as such, which may be a problem.

Ofc, this only holds where your username is not a public ID (say on a forum).

Which is why I like decoupling usernames (or rather "nicknames") from authentication. Email and password represent your actual identifiers.

So as others noted, why bother?

I blame browsers for this... They were the ones who started the "version inflation", where a new major version meant almost nothing... and everything else followed slowly.

The problem i see is, what's next? Google chrome is at 106... a few more years, and 200.. 300? What happens if linus runs out of fingers for the major number too?

I miss the "good old times", where 2.4.17->2.4.17.1 meant a minor patch, ->2.4.18 meant a new version with some new features, -> 2.6.x meant some large changes, and 3.x meant something huge, with possible backwards incompatibilities and making you choose, between a mature 2.x version vs a newish 3.x version.

TL;DR:

"They found that the simulations predicted failure under three conditions: when the blade approached the hair at an angle, when the blade’s steel was heterogenous in composition, and when the edge of a hair strand met the blade at a weak point in its heterogenous structure."

"Tasan says these conditions illustrate a mechanism known as stress intensification, in which the effect of a stress applied to a material is intensified if the material’s structure has microcracks. Once an initial microcrack forms, the material’s heterogeneous structure enabled these cracks to easily grow to chips."

In my experience, this is one possible path for getting "into" Emacs:

1. Having a need for something where Emacs is one of the best. E.g. outline folding, git gui, etc.

2. learning the basic shortcuts and concepts; doing the basic config to remove any problems

3. deep customization and creation.

If you don't have the need (#1), I wouldn't worry about it. If you do and you try it out, I agree #2 can be a little discouraging, but not too much. You can also usually make it easier by learning only the concepts and then using the gui menus to navigate. You can skip #3, or at least delay it. At this point, it's still just a tool like most others, and that's fine. I think #3 is what you're thinking of. That's what tends to get written and blogged about.

In adtech you have to spend all the budget a client gives you. They get very pissy if you don't and it's not unheard of for clients to penalise you several multiples of the unspent budget.
Corporations have external pressures though. If a corporation is run in a manner that is inefficient, it tends to be overtaken by a different corporation that does better. Or the board gets involved and fires the boss and replaces them with someone who promises to do better.

Ads are cancer.
From the perspective of someone who unfortunately deals with FB Business manager, their palette of services has become such an incoherent and buggy mess that it sure feels like they have totally lost control of their products and infra. Just two most recent issues I found last week:

- Removing a paypal account and adding another one is not reflected when creating a new ad - the old one is still there and new is nowhere to be see . Upon using the old one, ad got accepted normally but it wasn’t shown to any user. No error messages or anything. The ad went to some limbo state where it couldn’t be removed, edited or paused from the ads manager, but curiously could be deleted from mobile instagram app.

- Reels (a feature > 1yr old) can not be advertised from desktop dashboard, only from mobile instagram app. The reels or their statistics are not visible at all in business.facebook.com.

Stuff like this shouldn’t happen on any production service.

Oh and another fun one was an ad published after my client had a fundraiser for NGO aiding children in Ukraine. Results for the ad (it didnt relate to the fundraiser) showed ~15k clicks and 0 completed goals. Statistics happily stated that 99.9% of the budget was used by android users in Ukraine. Audience was all EU countries. Somehow it seemed a bit suspicious to me, but not to FB. Raising an issue about the results to FB is as useful as complaining about them to my dog.

I do a reasonable amount of empirical work with VIIRS VNP46A* data (the remote sensing platform and data product(s) used for the nighttime light data analysis).

GDP estimates from nighttime light data are possible but often inaccurate. Before you even get into the larger issues, there are a lot of small things, such as cloud coverage, ground coverage changes, lunar illumination, &c... that have to be accounted for.

It's great when you're trying to track urban development. It's good when you need quick ground truth estimates (e.g., you're looking at an area impacted by war or lockdown and you want to get a rough guess of the actual impact), and it's ok when you are looking at a country with an economic model (manufacturing/export-led) where changes in nighttime light volumes can tell you something.

It's iffy if you're trying to compare a lot of different countries, with different economic models, across different time spans, and you don't have the time to accurately assess whether nighttime light data is a good proxy for GDP in each of the many regions/country <-> economic model combinations you're looking at.

Counterpoint: it would, reciprocally, take months to launch a military strike to disable a military asteroid base, so it offers robust second-strike capability. You can no longer launch a sneak attack on your enemy's strategic bases.

I can't take this article serious given that it conflates "social skills" and "ability to interact with allistics" (non-autistics). Recent research actually suggests autistic children are often better at interacting with other autistic children and that allistic children are worse at interacting with autistic children (and vice versa of course). This is known as the "double empathy problem": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_empathy_problem

Many forms of autistic "therapy" such as ABA focus on masking autistic behaviors and mimicking allistic behaviors while disregarding the needs and preferences of autistic children. Many autistic "problem behaviors" are also not the result of autism but of trauma inflicted by others. Researchers are traditionally good at insisting that autistics lack theory of mind while also completely ignoring the double empathy problem and how it may affect the researchers' ability to reason about the autistic research subjects.

This is why autistic adults in recent years have become more vocal insisting "nothing about us without us", i.e. if the researchers want to study autism, the research team should at least include autistic researchers. We generally frown upon research into women's issues conducted by all-men research teams or research into Black issues conducted by all-white research teams, so we also shouldn't accept all-allistic research teams studying autism.

> Signal has security bugs line the best of them.

I was talking about the Signal protocol.

> it’s questionable if this counts as “issues with e2ee”

Fair point. It's not a problem in the encryption protocol, but it is a design problem on the group membership control.

Now I think it's not completely fair to compare that to the Signal private contact discovery, which relies on SGX enclaves. First, because it's private (if you trust the SGX enclave technology), and second because even if it was not, I believe it is a pretty different level of "design problem": "if the secure enclave does not work, then the server can access a hash of your addressbook" vs "if the whole system works as expected, AND you don't constantly keep an eye on the group members, it could be that a malicious actor reads the content of your messages".

Or am I misunderstanding something?

>western music industry there's more of an assumption that the product is the music whereas in kpop the artist is the product.

I disagree, also a big fan of kpop and 90s/2000's pop groups and KPOP is just another iteration. All that intimacy on boybands was there back then in magazines, hotlines, tv shows, etc etc, but we probably were not teenage girls during that time and didn't participate.

Kpop groups routinely hire many of the same producers that were popular in the 2000s boy groups into kpop now. One that really stands out is Teddy Riley and other NJS producers from the actual 90s here.. A lot of them migrated over there where New Jack swing continues even to this day.

You do not have to doeverything in emacs. At the end of the day it is a tool and it should make your life easier. Do in it only the bits that actually help you, if any. With time you might do more and more stuff. Or not, that's fine.

For example I have been using emacs for more than 20 years and only recently I got into the habit of actually running shells from inside it (it is very convenient, but just opening another terminal is an habit that is very hard to shake).
