> You directed it generally. Now you're upset that I replied to what you wrote.

More dishonesty.

> I don't know the numbers. Chicken is a very cheap source of protein, much cheaper than a huge range of plant based protein actually. Are we moving the bar for sinning to "thou shalt not consume any plant protein more expensive than chicken"? How about bugs? You have to kill them to eat them, right? Or does the holy book have some kind of complicated sin taxonomy here?

Yes. That's the entire point. Grain fed factory cattle farming is cruel and unsustainable. Option two is much less cruel and can be done for the same cost with solar derived hydrogen and takes a fraction of the land. There are organic methods that would see the same yield as option two with a slightly larger fraction of the land and would do less damage to the soil.

> That does not support your false claim that these countries do not have basic animal right or environmental regulation though.

A law that is never enforced and which whistleblowing of is criminalised is not holding anyone to any standard. I never claimed there was no law. I correctly claimed that farms were not held to account.
It was only about my own computer, no other people in this story. ;)

Since we are still talking about fighter jets, they should make the F-35 less noisy. The Netherlands have a bunch of them and the F-16 is as quiet as my RPi compared to them. Or does this analogy also rub you the wrong way?

Yes. Twitter is a lot less essential than you might think.
I say it’s not only “refreshing” to see a company like Signal taking a principled stand, it’s necessary.

It’s a powerful demonstration why critical infrastructure of any kind needs to be operated by public non-profit entities. At the very least that should include water, heat, electricity, communication, basic housing, essential agriculture, medical services.

When you’re serious about a community driven by common values, this is what you must do to stay resilient.

If you base critical parts of your infrastructure on profit, you get the tortured attempts we have today, to fit irreconcilable expectations through a single funnel – and the complex inconsistencies that go along with it.

I'm not building a straw man:

> > Innovation is not a goal by itself

> I'm having trouble understanding this point of view. You have enough interest in this software to debate it, while not caring at all whether software continues to be made?

This question is implying that, if I do not consider an innovation a goal by itself - and therefore don't consider open-core "good", morally speaking - then I don't care whether software continues to be made. The phrase "continues to be made" is all-or-nothing - software can either continue to be made, or not continue to be made, i.e. disappear. So:

> I'm saying that certain classes of open source software won't be created

It is certainly not what you said, as per above explanation. Perhaps it's what you intended to say, in which case please feel free to express your thoughts more precisely, so we can continue from there.
> Why not?

Because there are simply far to many variables involved. On one dimension you have type of game, but that variety impacts everything else.

Mario Party and Call of Duty for example may impact peoples emotions differently.

Tetris and StarCraft are both test actions per minute in a different way which may mean different things for reflexes etc.

Hours per week are another dimension, someone spending a few minutes per day playing Wordle is obviously different than someone who only works a part time job to have more time for their MMO addiction.

Finances is another dimension with actual free games being well free but some people spending their life savings on loot boxes in “Free to Play” games.

Degree of socialization is again varies wildly with a surprising number of marriages starting from MMO’s but single player games obvious don’t have that.

Exercise is another with some people getting a real workout playing beat saber and others getting embolisms from sitting to long with their addiction.

Etc etc.
This is a great writeup and Lane's book looks pretty interesting. One thing I'd add is that knowledge of the Krebs cycle (aka, 'tricarboxylic acid cycle') helps people understand why some dieting approaches seem a bit unwise to biochemists. A simple explanation of the Krebs cycle is that it is a kind of engine that sits at the center of metabolism, but metabolism is not just the breakdown of molecules for energy, it's also the construction of molecules for various cellular needs. Take this quote as a beginning point:

> "...we were told the monstrous names of its component parts—succinate, pyruvate, Acetyl-CoA, cytochrome c—while, on the blackboard, we counted NAD+s and FADH2s, and followed “redox” reactions as they “oxidized” or “reduced” elements."

From a biochemist's point of view, there are about three classes of foodstuffs - carbohydrates (which break down to simple sugars), proteins (which break down to amino acids), and fats and oils (which break down to fatty acds). All those breakdown products are fed in one way or the other into the Krebs cycle (for amino acids, the nitrogen is stripped off and excreted as urea). These energy-producing (i.e. NADH / ATP generating) reactions are grouped under the heading of catabolism. If you entirely exclude any of these three classes of foods, such as by ingesting only protein, the Krebs cycle and affiliated metabolism starts doing some funny stuff. This is the basis of 'eat a balanced diet' advice.

Note that the Krebs cycle also sits at the center of your body's biosynthetic system, which is continually manufacturing the non-essential amino acids, as well as sugar and lipid synthesis, which then form the basis of hormone and neurotransmitter synthesis. The molecules in the above quote are, in various cells, exported out of the Krebs cycle and into these biosynthetic pathways. Unbalancing the Krebs cycle by depriving it of essential feedstocks can thus throw a lot of your body's fundamental systems out of whack. Since the Krebs cycle is highly regulated and somewhat malleable, it can respond in various ways to account for this, but problems can arise over time.

Hence, the best dieting approach for losing (adipose, i.e. fatty tissue) weight is most likely intermittent fasting with a carefully balanced (carbs/proteins/fats) diet, just less food overall. Under such fasting conditions, the fatty tissues get converted to things like ketone bodies and hence to glucose (the brain's primary fuel). Here's a collection of abstracts on how this works in intermittent fasting (it's also related to diabetic issues):

Note that regular exercise is also good for your health, but that's not necessarily 'burning fat' so much as it is improving your circulatory system, and flushing your lungs with plenty of air, as well as improving muscle tone.

I dislike Markdown, but I can't help finding Asciidoc annoying. There's got to be an "Asciidoc: The Good Parts" waiting to be written.
Like, e.g., developing a manufacturing execution system, from scratch instead of just buying the one from the company your ERP vendor just acquired.
This post is absolutely right.

I've been keeping my personal notes as a folder of text files formatted with Markdown for 10+ years.

I honestly really don't like it in some ways. My work involves a ton of characters that trip up Markdown interpreters, and I end up having to escape them (brackets, asterisks)--and not all editors treat them, or the escape characters, the same way.

But nothing else fits my use case as well, so I've stuck with Markdown.
Where does liability come in once third parties start flooding propaganda/misinformation to the masses? Do you simply allow it to be a convenient platform for a foreign govt to astroturf a local population to affect a local election with misinformation as an example of moral gray area where 'Keep it blindly open!' seems to fall flat I think.
I once put considerable effort into making my setup as silent as possible. Then I realized I could have it as loud as needed as long as it was in another room. So now I either use my television with cables run through my crawlspace to my office or a remote desktop on my silent tablet.
I suppose it depends on what we think of when we write system and call it secure.
A system could merely be a design, or a composition, but it could just as well be a product or an implementation in general.

If a system was designed to be secure, the implementation can still be insecure. But if a system was not designed to be secure, or better yet, designed to be insecure, the implementation can never be secure.

To your point, an implementation or product can only have a state at a point in time where we can think of it being secure or insecure, as the next state or the next point in time might differ. But when we're talking about Signal, and their stance on influencing their design or architecture to make it insecure-by-design, I don't think we're talking about bugs or specific cryptography implementations, we're taking about making the design such that the implementation can never be secure.

If we were to take RSA for example, the factoring might be quantum-computable at some point in time, but right now, it is not. RSA was designed to be secure, and secure implementations exist. That said, if we were to wait a few years to a few decades, and again measure RSA as a cryptosystem, we might conclude that while it was designed to be secure, no secure implementations exist anymore.

German press cheered when the German government enacted the Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz ("Network enforcement law") a few years ago which forced Social Networks, regardless of their origin, to block and/or delete things that could be considered illegal within 60 minutes.

In fact, the law was so well-designed that Iran, Russia and China quickly copied it.

Everyone always forgets that if you create a sharp sword, it still can be wielded against yourself. Abuse of censorship infrastructure is only one autocrat away.
Plenty of monitors with higher dynamic range than sRGB, and plenty of people take pictures to print them, and there's also plenty of times you need the dynamic range to get something out of the shadows and highlights.

Ironically, the Microsoft ARM Developer Kit that was just released might be a good option. [1] I also personally have used a Qualcomm RB5 [2][3] since last year and can say that it is quite snappy, though the official image is ancient and the modern Debian Linux image Linaro works on for it was still rather buggy. The most robust option is likely Nvidia's AGX Orin Developer Kit [4][5], which Nvidia maintains 20.04 Ubuntu images for [6].

They have one of the worst brand reputations in tech. Their business model in general is being targeted by regulators and policymakers in jurisdictions big and small all over the world, and the various abuses of their specific platform is often used as a clear example of why. TikTok is giving them very strong competition, and their efforts to play copycat are not being received well by users. Investors are now far less enamored with tech, and capital is tight in general since the economy is in a precarious situation. Their CEO is unaccountable, and people he relied on to build a successful business to begin with (eg. Sheryl Sandberg) are gone, and he’s spending all his focus on a completely different product that lacks traction. He insists on centering himself as a personality in media, despite the fact that he is uncharismatic and his appearances tend to reinforce the brand’s negative reputation.

Even if VR is the future, there’s no indication that Meta is the company that knows how to build something people want here, let alone profit it at, but it continues to pour massive amounts of money, talent and executive attention into this, and it sounds like they’re not planning to change course.

Meta has earned its price drop.

I am alluding to the "90% of security breaches being internal" stat as likely being a gross underestimate. Implying people preoccupied with external threat vectors are often missing a key concept of risk mitigation.

I'm always having to look up the link format for reddit, and I always seem to get it backwards one-way-or-another first try. That's where markdown breaks down, at least for my uses. When you get beyond headings, lists, bold and italics, the complexity increases sharply.

Whereas HTML is reasonably consistent and simple in it's syntax, which grows from basics to complex structures.

I am not sure I follow your argument. If you are using it for private (ie encrypted) chats then you should not be using it for SMS... I think they have a good point when they say that having SMS there tricks less tech savvy people into think that those messages are secure as well when they are not.

> How would one enforce that an app is allowed to access health data but doesn't forward it to the internet?

User-mode code can’t do any IO or networking by itself. Instead, apps call OS kernels asking to open files or sockets for them.

It’s impossible to disable forwarding just for the health data, but it’s easy for an OS to completely disable any TCP/IP networking for an app which uses health data.

Apple and Google are struggling with that problem because in their ecosystems many developers rely on in-app advertisements, and Google is even running its own ads network.

>I provided the definition, and I also provided a paper

Yes, but did you notice that the paper you cited is from 1989? And that I cited the more modern DSM V, which did not exist when that paper was published? Also note that you keep using the term "dependence" and I'm using "substance use". This is because the terminology was deliberately changed in the DSM V. It was updated to combine both "use" and "dependence" and merged them into a the category of "substance use". This includes the criteria that are not specifically related to the locus of control. This is what I mean about drawing strong conclusions from a paper when you don't know the fuller context.

I don't think you're understanding my point about control so I'll try one last time. I've already agreed that control is part of the definition; so I don't think we disagree there. But I am saying the definition goes beyond just the idea of control. I get the impression you also agree here because you’re couching your statements to now include the “critical” (I.e., non-exhaustive) elements. It's possible to have the capability of control, but not exercise that control or not have the other elements to get a specific outcome. That doesn't make the clinical diagnosis go away.

Keeping with the obesity analogy, consider a sumo wrestler who is, by clinical definition, morbidly obese. They could very well have phenomenal willpower to control their diet, but choose not to because their chosen profession gets a benefit from being larger than their opponent. In some sense, they choose to be obese. A clinician will still say they have an obesity problem. (It seems like you're assuming that, by the nature of their diagnosis, they are trying to fix it. i.e. 'trying to get help from a doctor'. That's assumption is not included in the distinction I'm making.)

Now transfer that to an addict. Many choose to chase a high at the cost of their family, career, and/or health. To them, it's a worthy tradeoff. And the way substances affect/change the manner that we decide those tradeoffs is very real. Even if they could stop cold-turkey, they still have a clinical substance abuse problem. Your assumption is that they want to stop because of those ramifications and can't. I'm saying that they may not want to stop. They're still addicts. That's the pernicious part of your definition; just because they're doing it willfully doesn't make the problem go away any more than legalizing drugs makes society's drug problems magically go away.
One thing I notice from the community is that for previous generations (let's say pre-2005) it was significantly easier to make a great living as a programmer without engaging in shady nonsense. My post was very critical, but to some extent it's hard to escape the logic of the times when you have to navigate them.
