I worked on a Decentraland project, as-of-yet and probably never to be launched, that highlighted one major thing — its a digital real-estate bubble.

People are buying land as a investment, and doing nothing with it. The inflated cost of land (or more specifically, using it as another NFT investment) has destroyed what hope there was for Decentraland to build any form of community.

If you were altruistically in love with the metaverse concept, and wanted to get started on DCL, hope you have a few thousand laying around...

What exists now are just online casinos.
How is state managed? Or is this a low level library where you control everything directly?
Old phones don't get security/kernel/driver updates, careful...
Now would be the time. With more and more languages getting Wasm compile targets, apps can now be completely running in the browser.
For those scoffing at this, you might be interested to know that the brains behind this was Jef Raskin, he of the book "The Humane Interface" [0,1] and was responsible for conceiving and starting the Macintosh project. [2]

If you really want to have a less CO2-heavy stuffy indoor air, what you can use is an air-to-air heat exchanger. The idea is to get fresh air from outside, but transfer heat from the outgoing Co2-rich air to the incoming fresh air so you don't waste the heating (reverse in case of air conditioning, I suppose).

If the problem is Co2 in the outdoor air, I'm afraid that's a much bigger problem that you're not gonna solve with a tank.
One of the reasons that “overpopulation” as a concept faces criticism is that not all humans are created equal so far as resource consumption goes. Less people in the global north would do far more good for the climate than less people in the global south, because the former have a several times higher per capita consumption. Some of the people concerned about “overpopulation” seem to think the problem is the latter group though, and in that context the outcome of “depopulation” would be pleasing to fascists.

I believe it. Walk around New York City or Paris and compare the level of detail in construction from a historic building to a recently built one.

I highly doubt most women would reject a male asking for a date IRL but not in Tinder or whatever. I think the preference for online dating is simply convenience, taking the path of least resistance.

IMO taking this path of least resistance is a bad idea, especially much so for males who make up the vast majority of dating app users. Meeting people and asking them out takes some courage and makes you stand out from the crowd. That’s the main reason why it can work so well, in online dating you’re just one face among others.
IMO this is an issue of taxes being very high. I'm against progressive taxation; people like to call it fair because "rich people should pay more", but you'd already pay more by just making more under a proportional taxation system.

I don't think it's fair paying a larger proportion of your income just cause you make more.

But what's worse are brackets such as the ones in the UK. Up to ~50k you pay 20%, but anything above that will be taxed at a 40% rate, which is, plain and simple, theft.
As a consumer and a tourist, I was appalled at the amount of plastic being used everywhere (Thailand and Vietnam). Pineapple by the slice from a kiosk? Wrapped in plastic. Bubble tea? Plastic container and straw, along with a little plastic bag. Groceries? Plastic galore.

I do know though, that on a per-capital level, the Western world still produces more waste, but there was no thought of hey maybe this much plastic is bad?
In most places your performance review is about your performance, in the theatrical sense. It's all about winning over your audience, and high-quality work is just one of many ways to do that
I would have purchased this today if it were available in PDF or ePUB or Kindle store. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I do understand the appeal of an online reader but you should perhaps consider making your work available in a number of different channels to suit potential buyers' preferences (i.e. you are probably leaving money on the table by only having an online reader option).
As a former researcher with multiple high-impact publications I can 100% confirm it:

- when I was a researcher in Italy for an unknown lab, all of our articles were generally very scrutinized and went through years of reviews before publication

- when I worked in Michal Graetzel[1]'s laboratory things get published much more easily on more higher impact journals with less scrutiny. Not only most of the publications didn't really add much to the scientific knowledge, but they didn't even have the very high standards required when I was in Italy

Why is this bad? You get more funding the more you publish...So labs that publish easier due to the names involved get much more money...which they can use to publish even more and get even more money...which they can use to publish even more...

There's excellent scientists anywhere, really. But funding, fame and politics are extremely asymmetric in academia.

They should’ve built a cross platform UI toolkit based on Servo, and built Firefox OS on top of that. That would have given it the efficiency it needed to be successful. They’d have taken a lot of market share very quickly if their apps could run on android/iOS too.
As an American living in the UK, I will point out that you're not wrong, but the NHS is still vastly better than what was available in the US. And that most of the problems with long waits, etc. are largely the result of deliberate defunding and meddling by conservatives.
You don't seem to grok why Google's glasses failed so miserably - they were creepy as f*k to so many people, running around with camera only owner knows if its on or not. Absolutely nothing changed for the better, in fact this would be so much worse - now nobody else would be able to see where you are looking at, an if you are filming them while they want to have some quiet alone time.

Personally I would never ever want to spend money in any food-providing business that would allow such people around us. There is a world of difference between laptops and this. Don't expect mass adoption in cafes soon, I can imagine some SF tech-friendly cafes allowing it as an experiment but overall it would be taking too much risk as an owner at least in this decade.

It also begs the question why you would actually sit in café if you completely shield yourself from whole environment. At home you can usually create much more comfortable place.
:DD You need to shake people up from their stupor for fs sake...
I’m a bit conflicted about the goal of separating the “hard, cold, objective” science from “soft, warm, subjective” things such as reputation and trust. It may be the case that some publications can be perfectly evaluated based purely on the text of the manuscript, but in most of the work I’ve read and written there are countless little details that are not discussed in the text. The manner in which the authors have handled such details can greatly affect the quality of the research. How carefully did they write the one-off script that produced the figure? How closely did they follow the study protocols? How much did they look out for issues that might undermine the results? Such an evaluation may only be possible after following the work of an author over time and perhaps through direct collaborations.

In practice, we may get better outcomes if peer reviewers completely ignore these aspects and evaluate all papers purely based on what’s on the page. But I don’t think it is obvious that any reliance on trust and reputation should be derided as bias to be eliminated.
Maybe due alignment, on ARM unaligned dereference would crash if I remember correctly. So it's safe to copy the value first and use that aligned memory for the comparison.
I suspect that much of the sentiment comes from the fact that when Western countries did it, they didn't know better.

That's a very poetic translation, compared to jisho.org's 'sunlight filtering through trees '. It is also worth noting that it's a compound, not a single morpheme that represents the entire thought. (木漏れ日 - 木 is tree, 漏れ is 'filtering', 日 is sun/light)
I would love this if it didn't keep suggesting songs from the country where I am physically located. Their music sucks.

Then again, it also seems to suggest a lot of Argentine rock and I have no connection to Argentina, so maybe it's not geo-targeting me after all?
I also have a Steam Deck, and I should make it clear the "ads" are the usual Steam Store stuff - entirely voluntary (you don't see ads for games unless you visit the Store page) and non-intrusive.

I think there's a world of difference between showing people ads for games when they visit a store page voluntarily, and showing people ads in their social media feed when what they want is to see their friends' updates.
Why is previous salary relevant to recruiters for their compensation? Only the salary of the role they are recruiting for should be relevant.
I moved to an ISP that provides a static IP for $5 extra a month.

But before that I created a service for looking up my ip address and hosted it for free at fly [1]. Then I setup a script in cron to update my dns every 5min if it had changed.

You must be young, that was exactly how things were for decades. Its just that it was called a driver, not an app but in effect it was same piece of software that unlocked the device for use. For monitors, often without proprietary driver, it would work only on some default vesa resolutions, not support all available refresh rates etc.
Outside of the US the race/ethnicity of a person is not even allowed to be asked for or even stored. I actually believe that this leads to many problems in the first place and actually promotes racial segregation. The first time I had to think about what race I am was when I moved to the US.

Stop asking people what race they are, stop storing their race. And do the same for gender and religion. Just treat your people as humans. And problems like this will just disappear.

Like we have chemical analogue laws that prohibit new drugs that are similar to existing drugs, we could have financial services / product analogue laws that prohibit bullshit like this, that enables regulators / LE to prosecute bad actors.

I'm not suggesting that we ought prohibit innovation, and I'd prefer we tax and regulate drugs too, and laws don't prevent bad actors, but we should be able to go after and exact retribution upon those whom intentionally break the rules.

That is incredibly unsound (on a technical level, not merely in matters of taste).
They should restrict SSH only to the permitted sources and destination then.
Leaving SSH open is a big security risk, because you are barely permitting any kind of traffic.
I think that people managing the university network at that time was not so great: for couple of years, the DHCP assigned you a public, unfiltered IP address and the password policy for accessing Internet was very easy to infer (take the last digit of your student ID, remove it and sum to the first digit). And you can easily find online a student ID of someone else.

I remember people putting desktop PC in the lockers with ton of warez and P2P to the world with the ID of someone studying architecture or medicine.
>The UN recently released a independent report

The UN recently released an "independent" report refusing to assign blame for shelling on Zaporizhia.

I would like to trust the UN but when the truth of what happened in Zaporizhia was so very obvious and they made no comment on it after a thorough investigation, they undermined their status as an impartial investigator.

Rape is a difficult allegation to prove at the best of times. During the fog of war, with no impartial observers and a paucity of evidence other than witness testimony it becomes nearly impossible. This is pretty much where we are.

>Children have also been killed and injured in indiscriminate attacks with explosive weapons.

How do you prove that attacks are indiscriminate? For 50 years Israel has been accused of this after killing thousands of children and has successfully batted away the accusation with "well, we were firing at militants, civilians just happened to be there whoops".

This (among other things) set a precedent under international law that the standard of evidence required to prove mens rea was almost impossibly high.

So far we havent had anything like the Srebrenica massacre (clear cut evidence of militants caught on camera admitting to massacring civilians) we've just got a lot of unreliable witnesses, a lot of accusations flying and a lot of largely western leaning institutions that are as credulous of Ukrainian accusations of warcrimes as they are incredulous of Russian accusations.

>So you are in agreement with me Russia commits war crimes

I suspect everybody of committing war crimes but I trust nobody to actually investigate and punish them.

I realize this puts me in a minority. To most people, this war seems to be a team sport and demonstrate the same level of introspection as a knicks fan or somebody wearing a MAGA hat.
According to school professors, the only way to prove that a person knows something is to lock them in a room for an hour or two and have them write down the entire thing on a piece of paper while being watched intently.
What I do not understand is why is hydration claimed to be such a concern if it only happens on initial page load and then the client-side takes over?

In Amazon famous case, the 100ms delay was because it was an MPA: each page change was a page load. In that case I'd understand.
I'm aware it's far fetched and I don't even really believe it, and there is no evidence like you say, but it's also kind of hard since there doesn't seem to have been a huge amount of analysis done before his work. To me this is one of those things we'll basically never know the answer to; the crucial information(state of the mural before the restoration) is lost to history. It reminds me of the Voynich manuscript in that sense.

I was just captivated by the idea of some 14th century priest losing his mind and doing this. But yeah, not exactly likely.
They still went all in, built a nice community around Proton itself, documented it and supported forks, etc.
Yeah I don't see the issue here. It's not a 3rd party service, I see this as no different than say, an NPM package asking for supporters when you install it.
Either a hostile nation, or economic elite trying to turn people’s attention away from the real issues of income inequality and taxation. Race, gender, whatever, in the end money is what primarily makes things right.

WhatsApp is now a spammers' paradise in India
The trouble with blog posts like this is that they are effectively click-bait written to drive traffic to a blog (i.e. aiming to ensure high ranking on search).

I say that because taking this blog post as an article, it makes one major false assumption: Credential Leakage = Compromise.

In reality, anyone who knows AWS IAM knows that you can:

- Activate/Deactivate credentials
- Time-gate policies
- IP-restrict policies
- Use roles with STS temporary credentials
- Use roles in conjunction with the externalId attribute
- Many more things I've missed out....

Yes sure you probably should rotate your credentials yada yada (or perhaps use the "new" X.509 auth method instead).

But that doesn't detract the fact that this blog is making a cheap-shot and not really taking into account the strengths of AWS IAM in terms of the security granularity that make it possible (with a correct, layered config) to comfortably say Credential Leakage DOES NOT equal Compromise. You just need to take a minute to RTFM and sit down and plan your IAM setup, instead of just doing it on a whim.

AWS IAM is actually one of the best bits of AWS. Its one of the areas where AWS leads in comparison to its competitors (IMHO).

I don't remember there being anything downright wrong in Applied Cryptography, at least at the time it was published, although it doesn't convey a lot of the nuance that is required in implementing secure systems. But it now 30 years out of date.
> Most of the plastic that enters the oceans from land comes from rivers in Asia. More than 80% of it.

This is THE PROBLEM. It is mesmerizing how article shifts blame to those terrible "rich countries". Me in that rich country collect every bit of plastic to trashbin, sort it out just to read than my asian friends dumped it to river zero F's given. And it's my fault!
This is sometimes asked in jest, and sometimes as a serious question. It's a bit hard to know which leg you lean on. But in case it is an honest question I would say two major factors are:

1. The manner in which it is done and your motive. E.g. Are you taking care to preserve the grave and the buried? Are you primarily looking for things which has a monetary value? And what are potential descendants saying about you doing it?

2. The time which has passed. E.g. If it has become "forgotten" and not taken care of regularly it could maybe be seen more as a historic site rather than a grave.

Well whoever's doing the verifying would need to have a way to align that piece of foil in a way that shows the position, and unless both people know that process it's useless anyway.

If there's infinite possible alignments then you've given no data, but a piece of foil with a random hole in it. Like giving you two random numbers and you coming up with a function that maps them to waldo's position.
What Is Hyperautomation?
I find it very weird as well. So a store shouldn't show products it sell? Only allow them to be searched?

I understand being anti-add, but we are talking about store here selling and distributing products. Which makes reasonable attempt to serve relevant suggestions to user. Of new games or games that are somewhat based on what users have already played or followed.

Now if Steam store was showing third-party advertisements I would be on barricades.

And no one actually forces you to use the Steam on Steam Deck it is linux box with root access in place...

>I don't see people say similar things when authors display "sponsor my work on OpenCollective/Github Sponsors" through messages on npm install and the like.

People did say similar things about that. It was a big shitshow.

https://www.zdnet.com/article/npm-bans-terminal-ads/

And even if you don't count donation requests as ads, the article mentions those too:

>The upcoming change will allow developers to silence any type of non-error terminal messages, such as ads, or calls for donations -- an issue many times more widespread[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] than Funding's ads ever were.

Those are all links to people complaining about donation requests.
If you don't know the books position under the foil, and the hole is just big enougn to show it's waldo, you cannot get the coordinates, but you know that the person who covered the book with a punctured foil knows where waldo is.

People use the similar concept in geocaching when they forget to bring a pen... take a photo of a geocache against a neutral background (asphalt, grass,...) thus proving they found it, but not revealing/spoiling the location to other geocachers.
