Don't single out email. The problem is much larger than that. Any big megacorp nowadays figured out that the best way to do whatever they are doing is to provide the service to the median consumer, and just cut the rest out as perfectly as they can. It started with the idiotic get a number to wait in line at the branch offices, IVR audio labyrinths on the phone, completely useless self-service portals, and now there are no branch offices anymore, and in many cases the "helpdesk" is just a dumb caricature of a robot in a fucking submenu of a tragedy of a hacked together mobile app.

Sure, it's great that gmail is cheap, after all "it's free". But Google (and MSFT, fuck outlook.com in particular for their completely anti-competitive spam "protection" that only accepts email from other big providers) cross-finances gmail from their ad business, completely distorting every kind of service and product markets.

For email in particular what's needed is a LetsEncrypt-like community-driven solution for reputation management and acceptance of emails from reputable sources by the big inbox providers.
This series on reality is socially interesting but misses the fundamental question: Is it True?

It muses on the social creation of why people think differently, but fails to ask: How can we know something to be True?

I give an alternative: Seek Truth. Be humble.
The problem is that your little local world is part of the bigger world and that world can affect you and your local world far more than you can affect it. Its like the hobbits in the Lord of the Rings. They'd like to stay in their cozy world of the Shire and ignore the rest of the world, but the rest of the world won't ignore the Shire.

That’s somewhat straightforward for states (and property tax is a weak proxy form of it), but wealth taxation at the federal level is debatably but likely unconstitutional.

You could tax high-incomes more federally in a straightforward way, which is almost surely therefore easier to implement.
> you might cause your favorite candidate to lose by ranking them first

That's a flawed characterization that keeps getting repeated.

As I explain in another comment below, in theory you could get your favorite candidate to win by further downranking the candidate who would otherwise win. One way of accomplishing that is to move other candidates up higher above your actual preferred candidate.

But in reality, there's no way to know what the exact precise vote breakdowns will be, so voting strategically (lying about your preferences) is impossible in a practical sense. There's no intuition to develop -- just vote your preferences.

> Let’s use Google+ as an example.

Facebook and Twitter are extremely popular services, and have been at or near the top of their categories for over a decade.

I think the only regret that the labels have (to our benefit) was the failure to include DRM because… it was 1982. Other than a single optional “pls don’t copy me thanks” bit.

Since then, we’ve had multiple attempts to replace CDs with higher-fidelity, DRM-damaged replacements like the SACD, DVD Audio, SDMI/DataPlay, and even Blu-ray Pure Audio formats - and later with all iTunes purchases before 2009 despite the CD existing. All failures. Digital music is DRM-free and not going back, thanks to the CD.

Without these you have a weak shell not a liveable structure. Concrete doesn't have tensile strength for shear and compressive loads.

Actually, yes, in the absence of hurting other people, people should generally be free to do what they like on their own property, even if other people don't like it.

And yes, forcing other people to do or not-do what you want, by force of law and without regard for their own agency, is incompatible with freedom.

>>I would not buy a property next to a home that had cars parked on the front lawn. I would not want to live next to someone who thinks that's appropriate and most people would agree with me.

I never said it's approporiate. I wouldn't want to live next to such house either. But I find it unacceptable that you would like to regulate that away, just like I don't think it's acceptable to regulate whether someone can hang their laundry outside or not. It's a uniquely American fetishism with defining freedom as "freedom to tell others what they can or cannot do". There's a reason HOAs exist pretty much only there and hardly anywhere else. I might find the sight of my neighbour's car unappealing - but you're the one who wants to regulate what they can or cannot do with it.

Citing Wikipedia:

"Jagland said the committee was influenced by a speech Obama gave about Islam in Cairo in June 2009, the president's efforts to prevent nuclear proliferation and climate change, and Obama's support for using established international bodies such as the United Nations to pursue foreign policy goals."

What he accomplished was to set a new tone for peace. This is more than many other presidents.

That 'warmonger' label is just bonkers. He prevented an engagement in Syria, this caused and still causes a lot of harm.
Have you tried using archive.today?

I took three steps against this happening:

1) Not providing phone number for 2FA. Never.
2) Using multiple (3 pcs.) physical keys for 2FA (like Yubikey and similar). Authentication app is an alternative for one choice of 2FA (but not the sole one!)
3) Only using a limited set of Google functionality. Use for secondary purposes mostly.

Well, the last one is mainly to mitigate the consequences if happens anyway, for other reasons too (like with that poor guy who made picture of his own naked baby for a remote diagnostics with his doctor and the Google locked him out for months - and still counting at the time of the article - for child pornography)

If every november everyone in the community got together and rewired eachother's houses, I think it would be very wise to require the NEC be taught to all students.

Of course most people are never going to be arguing cases before the supreme court or writing laws, and those would require far more expertise than anyone needs. At the same time, most people will never be mathematicians but we still have math classes. No one is becoming a master in a subject from primary education, but they should have some basic literacy in the subject and a foundation to build upon.
Because you're not going to get any answers of substance in this topic. A person died of a possible heart related condition. Why are there so many people asking if he was vaccinated? What does that have to do here? How come no one is asking if he oversalted his food every day? Frankly, vaccination questions in this topic are off-topic.
I would argue that a "low skill worker" doesn't exist as anything but a pejorative stereotype for large swaths of people who form and perform functions that create the foundation on which an economy runs.

The USPS and banks would be ideal identity validators. Having run a few mail servers I don't think the Govt is best placed to do that, but they could outsource it to google, with a few tweaks to allow identity attestation.

Many other countries have a central government portal with secure messaging, with federated identify. Heavily reliant on 2FA of course.

> I’ve always felt that my eye handles high dynamic range scenes much better than cameras.

Depending on what you mean by “eye handles”, yes, you have far more dynamic range than most cameras. The reason I caveat is that just like how modern smartphones with their “computation images” are really combining multiple shots together, so is your brain. I forget the exact numbers, but I think the retina itself is around 5-8 stops of dynamic range and what your brain “sees” when you are looking around is something like 15-20 stops.
Unlike hearing, I don't think the visual system works in the frequency domain. Common psychedelic visual hallucinations are better explained as either transformations in the space domain, or stages of a pipeline being reconnected in odd ways. As an example of the former, a sharpen filter can be implemented as a simple convolution, which would be compatible with crosstalk in the neurons processing the "pixels" of the visual input. Of the latter, fractals are a common theme in hallucinations; they can be explained as feedback loops in a pipeline, where the signal ends up making several loops through a few processing stages. The sharpen hallucination might also be caused like this. Perhaps the brain already applies a sharpen filter and what happens is that it's applied multiple times to the signal.
I never really gave this much thought as I never lived in a building that uses a chute. But it does make sense. You can build a large building, but it usually has many firestops in it. When wiring crosses a firestop, it must be sealed up to some standards. Ventilation systems are kept isolated across firestops as well. Anything that could encourage a spread is forbidden.

In contrast, a fire chute is basically a giant convection tower that should spread smoke and heat across all the higher floors of a building immediately.
When I was in business school for my MBA, the human component was absolutely covered, and I suspect that is the case with many of them. Part of the problem may be though that there are subjects (finance, operations), where I can see the concept of a human resource becomes a bit abstract in order to focus on other concepts. In this regard, schools can certainly do better to connect the people element across disciplines.

For those with a complete disdain for "business types", I'd encourage you to read Peter Drucker. Some of his opinions may feel a bit outdated, but he speaks quite a bit to the knowledge worker and their needs.

That's sad to hear, but it makes total sense to shut down the server given its sensitive data, rather than hand it off to another person.

Mastodon/ActivityPub is a poor fit for a social network IMHO.

- Accounts should not be tied a single server and their continued maintenance.

- Private data and DMs should be end-to-end encrypted rather than entrusted with a single administrator.

- People don't want to self-host.

The core problem of a lot of social networks comes down to name aliasing, and who controls the name registry. In the case of nostr[1] this is not a problem because everything is using public keys. Another protocol is Farcaster[2] which plans to use a smart contract to maintain a name registry without requiring a single controller.

Well, I never pretended to be an engineer; if bridge-builders did engineering the way software is built, news about a new bridge collapses would become boring.

I call myself a programmer, or sometimes a "software developer". But even the latter term is fishy, to me; it has connotations of "research and development", as if there's something blue-sky and innovative about building a commercial website.

Incidentally, my dad counselled me to NOT go into programming as a trade[0]. I ignored his advice, and I did OK.

[0] Yes, I consider myself a tradesman, not a "professional". Professions are trades that are policed by a professional body; there are professional bodies for programmers, but hardly any programmers belong to those bodies, and if you list your membership on your CV, it'll probably reduce your chance of getting an interview.
It seems to me that Google is in full control of what they've built here. They've chosen not to put in the effort to find a way to meet the needs of this portion of their user community.

On the one hand, this can be quite reasonably derided as a lack of imagination. Surely there must be a way to do it!

On the other hand, well, we as a society accept that businesses are generally allowed to decide they just don't want to be in a market segment or produce some features. Bridgestone is not compelled by law to have a store in every neighborhood. Montblanc is not forced to produce disposable ballpoint pens.

Perhaps we should treat this as Google admitting the limits of what they're willing and able to build. There is no shame in knowing your limits.

> not unlike this whole stupid pets-vs-cattle debate with servers

What am I missing here? Those are in no way whatsoever related. One is a group of humans and the other is a group of machines, the rules/expectations are 100% different. You should not treat humans are replaceable cogs for moral reasons and the very real reason that they simply aren't. Humans are not 1 to 1 comparable (not that it would be ok to dehumanize them if they weren't) so that way of thinking is not only gross but it's silly/short sighted/wrong. I've seen companies treat employees as cogs then be all surprised when they fire/layoff one of those "cogs" which causes a mass exodus (sometimes resulting in literal decades of experience walking out the door in the span of months).

Servers/computers are a whole different ball game. For all intents and purposes a server is a server is a server (blah, blah, same instance size, disk, etc).
