As per my comment in reply to monkin, I keep wondering why there isn't an open source website that makes it (almost) as easy to setup a fediverse instance as it is to create a Discord or a subreddit. Surely it's possible for a service to have a nice frontend UI for easy administration by non-technical users, while at the backend dealing with the technical API calls to cloud providers to make it all happen?

This sort of website would be incredibly light weight (just API calls, no data storage), and the users would not be tied down to it; as long as they retain ownership of the login credentials to whatever cloud provider they choose, even if this front end shuts down the fediverse instance won't. And if it's open source, it would be easy to migrate to another such 'frontend management' website.

I have thought about this quite a bit, and it seems like a great idea - is there something I am missing (aside from it perhaps being nontrivial to set up a Fediverse instance via API calls to cloud providers)?

Of course, a clear issue is that there would still be (small) ongoing costs even for tiny instances, so it would not be the same as Discord or reddit in terms of having a 'free tier'. But the pitch of a 'personalized social media website' seems like a pretty cool idea and i'd be willing to pay a bit to try it out.
So it boils down to purchasing an NFT to participate, if yes, I’m not sure how long it will last. I’ve been trying to get a namespace on ENS since forever, and no payment processor wants me to buy eth. If that itself is a major hurdle I’m not sure how people will ever join.
> probably illegal

It is always odd to read comments like this. Can we assume you will you be challenging this at the supreme court? The government passes laws and so it is odd to state something is "illegal" when it may not be the case. It is also odd because every country has special rules/laws around entry that are NOT the same as the laws inside the country. One of the best examples is our neighbour to the south where the border is considered a "constitutional free zone" - allowing search/seizures which are not permitted elsewhere in the country. Far more likely you disagree with it, but that isn't a legal question.

Many "covid" related actions were challenged, and the supreme court of canada ruled in the governments favour, does that mean the supreme court is also wrong? If so, who do you take your complaint to above this court?

Every country on earth has a legal right to control entry at its borders and while Canada was odd to use ArriveCan, pretty much every country demanded vaccine proof when they reopened their borders. Does this mean they all acted illegally?

The government's job is to protect its citizens, again this is why almost every country enacted some form of border control to try to stop covid, but they are all wrong?
> If 48.2 million are breaking a law, it’s probably the law that’s wrong.

This is a terrible argument. In countries with weak rule of law it's probably the case that a similar proportion of of people engage in bribery (either paying or accepting them). By your logic is it also the case that "the law that’s wrong" on bribery?

7. True

The "problem" with the questions they asked, is that short pithy statements like these lack all form of nuance and so cannot fully encapsulate what is actually reality. They only contain a distilled perception of that reality through a particular set of biases. For the most part, nothing in life is that simple, and therefore simple statements are often not actually factual, because they miss critical nuance and detail to make them so.

Ironically, if you read my answers above, you likely think I'm right-wing adjacent based on them, but in fact I am politically left-of-center, I either didn't have enough information to answer conclusively, or I have investigated these topics so thoroughly that I am aware that it's not very clear cut. For instance, several of these relate to recent issues from the former administration in the US... I've read the Mueller Report, somehow despite being rather thorough, very different pithy perspectives are arrived at from the contents by various partisans.

I think the article has a point, but I think the bigger issue is that most people only have the attention span and mental acuity necessary to deal in soundbites, whether that's from the Internet, cable news, or newspaper headlines doesn't really matter. It's not the medium that's the issue, it's that the average person expends no mental energy whatsoever on actually understanding the topics they hold forth opinions on. I've always tried to be someone with strong opinions, loosely held, and open to evidence and reason. Unfortunately the average person is somebody with weak opinions, strongly held, and closed to evidence and reason. The Internet didn't cause this, this is just how human beings generally are, the world over, and throughout history.

Maintaining federation of USENET was a massive effort. I used to run an NNTP server, and spent way too much time dealing with ensuring we had redundant feeds and kept up with the volume. And on top of that handling spam. It worked well for what it was at the time, but it was nowhere near an ideal federated platform.

You are certainly entitled to your own opinion, but others who have researched Chernobyl far more extensively than you or I have concluded differently. I am primarily getting my information from Andrew Leatherbarrow's book "Chernobyl 01:23:40". In that book, he states essentially the same as I have above.

However, it's not just Andrew Leatherbarrow who thinks so. All it takes is a simple Google search and you'll find reputable research papers hosted by the IAEA whose primary conclusion is that the accident could have been much worse. Here's one example: https://inis.iaea.org/search/search.aspx?orig_q=RN:18009127

I have some M-DISC DVD's from ~15 years ago that still read fine.

That said I still have a lot of cheap CDs from 20 years ago that still read fine as well.

I've had a 25GB M-DISC BD-R kicking around on my desk without a sleeve or case for a while now to test durability. Sometimes I take it outside and leave it on my patio table for a few days to add some extra wear. I slide it around the desk, pick it up with normal greasy/dirty hands and handle it non-gently, flex it a bit, wash it off in the sink, and wipe it off with a cotton cloth. After four years of this abuse so far it still hasn't lost a single bit of data. I have noticed some of it takes a bit longer to get a good read so I'll probably lose data soon but this has been a hell of a lot of abuse so far.

A recent example is Solana. Their network keeps crashing [0]. Everyone keeping their own keys are completely locked away from trading their coin. Everyone with their coin owned in a centralized exchange can trade freely.

If you hold your own coins, you're vulnerable to network attacks and AMM instability/hacks.

If you put the coins on an exchange, you're vulnerable to the exchange's liquidity issues.

This is meant to counter the idea of ARS-CoV-2 being somehow derived from RaTG13, which is still around.
The problem is not that to some "reality is a game", but there are a lot of people that have given up on independently verifying information they get. There always were people like that. People that feel happy offloading their thinking process to others. Whatever others think is truth to them. I suspect in the old times those "others" were primarily friends and family, perhaps "talking heads" on TV. That was not great, but not hugely problematic. Today, for many people, their opinions are shaped by various selection of: media that always wants to drive engagement up(every story is an outrage), various commercial interest groups, foreign hostile psy-ops, domestic trolls, various genuinely troubled people. All those things masquerade as "friends" in our "customised" feed being very effective in convincing large groups of people of their bull**.

Unfortunately, this may be a genuine barrier to further technological advancement of human race. If the majority of us can't tell what's real (often not because of inability, but because of mental laziness) how can we increase our connectedness even more? (with neural implants or other future gadgets).
If the service is truly vital it should be provided by the government, not Google. The government would also be free to set security policies and provide support at the level and cost demanded by the public. It is not and should not be the role of a private enterprise to act as a backstop for the fabric of society when it is not in their interests or their customers' overall interests.

The nice thing about Wikipedia is that it is free of distraction, often very detailed, and has lots of citations that make it a great jumping-off point for finding other sources of information and verifying statements.

Wikipedia, in my opinion, fails in that there is a bias with anything that remotely involves politics or health science. Students need to be taught that Wikipedia is NOT an objective source, and that basically no source of information is truly objective.
is this not exactly the point of end to end encryption?
If scholars find some claim on Wikipedia and repeat it in their published work, they should unquestionably cite Wikipedia. When scholars fail to cite Wikipedia, a few years later other Wikipedia editors come back and cite that work as evidence for the original claim, sometimes for claims that turn out to be nonsense, and people trying to figure out what happened won’t notice that the citation chain is a circle. Cf. https://xkcd.com/978/

Teaching students not to cite the sources they use is a horrible teaching practice which does harm to academia. Better is to teach students to critically examine every source they use and consider its limitations (in Wikipedia’s case, being a volunteer project by a wide range of pseudonymous strangers), follow up on claims made there, check other sources for contrary claims and analyses, etc.

Every source has biases and limitations. You can find plenty of fabrications and distortions snuck into e.g. New York Times stories, undergraduate history textbooks, or Supreme Court decisions. These sources should also be examined critically.
> I'd rather get my accounts hacked because of password reuse than lose access to my email, forever.

This is functionally the outcome of getting hacked, if you want any kind of decent security measures.

Any way that Google can give you access back on a password-only account is going to be rife with bad actors using social engineering to gain control of accounts. As long as that form/page exists, it is a threat vector.

What you're asking is for the password to be the only proof that someone owns an account, which means a hacker can demonstrate ownership just as much as you can.

Banks have more options for account recovery because we're willing to give them a lot more info. They can force me to come in to a branch and compare my ID to my face, or ask for my SSN, or any number of things we're not comfortable handing over to Google (especially over the web).
I was wondering that too, and I think my brain may have figured it out. on a quick glance at the way it's written, my brain read "fuckbook" rather than "facebook" since f*c*book aligns with both. If that's right, it's kind of silly IMHO
Stoics had (yet another—IIRC the last one was around the 1950s-60s) popular revival a few years back and now they're everywhere (especially Aurelius) and there's definitely a bit of "well I'll have to stop wearing that band's shirt out and about now that Wal-Mart's selling fake-faded reproductions of their tour shirts and most of the people you see wearing one can't name more than three of their songs" to it.
I think it might be more that a lot of people in tech have poor work-life balances and bad interpersonal dynamics, and this causes high stress and receptivity to coping mechanisms.

While I don't think that's a bad idea in some situations, it means trusting the case worker with access to the entire account (as they could use the recovery email to reset the password). It's also an extra burden to put on the case worker, and the individual who has to coordinate with the case worker.

> Nick Van Weerdenburg, CEO and founder of Toronto-based Rangle, said his firm could likely have built the app in less than a month for about $250,000.

> “This is a very simple app,” he said.

Having used ArriveCan I would agree with his quote. It is a very simple app, but what is not simple is writing the specification for it. The contractors weren't given the app and told "how long would it take you to make this?". They were approached to develop "an app to monitor COVID risk at the border", then they had to work with probably several committees, all with different visions and expectations, all trying to get their idea executed.

That's often the part that people forget in favour of easy criticism. ArriveCan is simple, but the process that built it is not, there was no equivalent in the wild that could be used for inspiration, it had a bunch of translation requirements, and needed to interface with existing airport arrival systems.

I'm not saying we should be proud of our government for making a 54M$ CRUD app that, as far as we can tell, did not have much of an impact on COVID being spread, but interviewing a bunch of "IT leaders" and acting as if they would actually sign a contract to build ArriveCan for 250k$ is disingenuous and the Globe and Mail should be ashamed of framing it this way.
This rings true for me. I have a federal grant that prohibits me from using its funds for capital acquisitions: i.e. servers.

I wonder what the actual message is compared to what gets back to the parent. Are teachers really saying "Don't use wikipedia" full stop, then turning around and accepting any other webpage as a scholarly source? That seems really unlikely.

At worst, wikipedia is a tertiary source. I'm surprised I had to deal with this in college, but the teacher in one of my classes, after we submitted our first papers, felt the need to break this down and explain how to use wikipedia and properly cite sources in this context. I'm sure some kids turned off their ears after the beginning of that lecture...
