If you want to discover a new species, a museum may be the best location to start searching. https://www.sciencefriday.com/segments/want-to-find-a-new-sp...:

“discovering new species in the depths of museum archives is not so uncommon. Dozens of such tales of are told by biologist and author Christopher Kemp in his new book The Lost Species <https://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/022638621X/sciencefriday/>. He describes the treasure hunts and serendipitous finding of species like the ruby seadragon and the olinguito, and why there may be many more discoveries waiting in the backlogged shelves of museums around the world.”
> statistically over represented

Over represented compared to what? The incidence of these disorders back when admitting them would get you bullied / raped / killed?

An alternative explanation is that reducing the social straitjackets that enforced conformity is leading to greater diversity of human behavior. Maybe yes, maybe no, but it’s at least a hypothesis worth considering.

BTW your point would be stronger without the persecution complex. And stronger yet with an acknowledgement that, while tic-like behavior and multi-year cognitive identity issues may have correlations, also they may not.
When it came to drug use in the “inner city” that was the right’s talking point. But when drug use started happening in “rural America” it was a “disease”.

But one of the largest cause of the lack of the cohesive family unit is the “War on Drugs” that was statistically more harshly applied to minorities. But when it comes time for police reform and criminal Justice reform, the right bristles.

Yes I know that the Clintons were the major architects of the tough on crime movement in the 90s.

So you can securely prove that your centralized and insecure layer 2 has indeed transfered all of your money away to them? Great plan.
As much as I always liked the idea of a more frictionless system for the transfer of asset ownership, I still have too many open questions on the integration with the legal system of the participants.

Say you have the NFT that claims ownership of a house. Now the local court allocates half of the house to your ex-husband whom you’ve just divorced. How is this (exemplary) case handled on the chain? How is any repossession through local legal system? Who gets to own the house should the private key be lost?

The answer to most of these questions is usually (I do not know your solution) some centralized entity that is introduced somewhere in the chain.

This may have come of as an attack, but be assured that I am genuinely curious whether a solution has been found that I am not aware of.
It’s pretty simple. I grew up with the social expectation I would be some special attraction to girls beyond friendship. There were some people shamefully attracted to boys.

I’m neither of these. I’ve never experienced sexual attraction to anyone. Every relationship I have is happily platonic. I have several good, close friends, so I capable of deep emotional bonds to people of any gender.

This would have been fine if I didn’t have a high sex drive. But I do. You’re not supposed to have a high sex drive while being completely uninterested.

I’ve wondered most of my life why I was broken. It was extremely isolating to be constantly surrounded by messages telling me there is something wrong with me.

Then I found out what asexuality is. That’s what I am. Romantic attraction can be completely devoid of sexual attraction. Someone’s sex drive can be independent of a person’s sexuality.

It hasn’t been any less isolating, but at least I know there is nothing wrong with me as a person.
>So yes shipping a CA known to have intentionally issued false certificates is very on-brand for them.

Did TrustCor turn out to have done that? The last time I checked in on that, the distrust was mainly founded on some not-very-trustworthy behavior involving spyware in a related company within the same corporate umbrella.

The Satanic panic is a moral panic consisting of over 12,000 unsubstantiated cases of Satanic ritual abuse (SRA, sometimes known as ritual abuse, ritualistic abuse, organized abuse, or sadistic ritual abuse) starting in the United States in the 1980s, spreading throughout many parts of the world by the late 1990s, and persisting today.

Java has the exact opposite of a solution to this, though their intentions were very admirable. PKCS#12 is a terrible solution, and Java does it's best to enforce it, and it's move to adopt it further is the exact opposite direction that everyone has been moving in.

What everyone's realized in recent years is that trust is context-dependent, and that you don't want to use the same roots of trust (or trust anchors, or CAs, though each of those terms has a slightly different meaning) everywhere, nor do you want to co-mingle them. It doesn't make sense to have one file that specifies "Here are all the CAs I trust, and here are rules for each of them"; It makes a lot more sense to have configuration per use-case of "Here are all the CAs for this usecase", and to rely much more on code within the program to disambigutate. Having one file with all those CA certificates and your private keys is... Backwards. Keytool and their custom format at least kept a clear distinction between "these are my private keys" and "these are keys I trust". PKCS#12 has no such distinction, and the tooling around it (Particularly Java's!) makes it hard to disambiguate safebags, so you're left with one giant mess.

It's actually the same problem as Global Variables[1]; Security and trust isn't one object. It's many. One program may act as itself to many providers, but it might also act as three or four different roles within it's scope to the same provider.

This is not a law of nature, many unions just do their job. Many companies also treat their workers unfairly, so there's that. Workers need a way to organise.

What's worse, a company churning through employee after employee or a company captured by its union? Both can happen.
I understand you disagree, but I am pointing out that you can just as well predict extremely positive outcomes instead of your pessimistic ones, which you probably convince yourself are 'realistic', but there is no such thing as 'realistic' predictions, because we live in true emergent chaos.

So, you have a choice how to look at the world.
> just to save a few characters and make everything more magic than it is

No, this is not the true motivation. Human attention spans on symbols, the more succinct the code is, the more meaning it can encompass in the same number of characters. Writing abstracted enough code often requires inventing new languages to hide the complexity behind abstractions.

Software development in Haskell is particularly focused on DSLs, lens language being one of them.

^.. is a relatively simple operator though, it just abstracts away traversals.
Unions that are run like a business eventually become a business. Unions need to be democratically-controlled, where regular workers can propose new contract terms and vote on them, as well as voting to call a strike.

A societal pressure doesn't mean it's forced. Most societal pressures aren't. Instead, they are strong expectations and in occasions, frowning upon behavior that deviates from the expectation. This creates tremendous pressure. Just look at teenager social dynamics, lots of "unenforced" expectations become critical for them.
What's the difference between this framework and cloud solutions like aws iot core, azure iot core and other open source solutions like SimoleIoT?
To me simpleIoT and cloud solutions are more complete, they have GUIs and can do things more than device connection, but this framework seems can only achieve much less.
CNCF also have a similar framework called akari, this framework doesn't seem to differ much from akari.
heteronormativity include sexual behavior, but mostly contains other behavior. Like the way you dress, talk or present yourself, the activities or kind of play you do or like.
Parent comment is mostly talking about non-sexual heteronormativity, which is often presented as the norm. An obvious example would be an adult insisting that pink is for girl and blue for boys, and shaming a kid for liking what's not the (hetero-)norm.

Signing everything is only meaningful if you can distribute your public key in a way trusted by those who will check your signature. And not just one time; you want to be able to rotate the key sometimes.

A blockchain with a proof-of-work validation may be overkill. But some kind of Merkle tree, like that offered cy TLS certificate infrastructure, is needed anyway. If it can be trustless at a moderate expense, the better.

> illnesses such as gender dysphoria that are statistically over represented

If it was true that gender dysphoria had a major "social contagion" component, what would you want to do about that?

Censor speech so children can't discuss gender? Like how some people think censor sex ed was a treatment for teen pregnancy?

Put up bureaucratic barriers to transition, at the cost of hurting people who really are transgender?
The reason we are talking about them is because of the macro conditions that pushed risk taking out to an absurd extreme. That is probably bad.

The structure itself though is neutral of course.
> This is probably going to get downvoted to oblivion, because nobody wants to confront the idea that we can _learn_ to want to be another gender. But I think there's some interesting parallels to be observed here, and discounting that based on "moral virtue" or "denying hate speech" or whatever i'll be attacked with is just moving the target.

I feel you're grossly misrepresenting the issue. It means nothing if you believe people can be re-educated to cease to identify as a specific gender or repress their sexuality throughout their whole lives. That's completely irrelevant. You can also argue that you can re-educated men to be ok with being impotent or be bald or not need glasses, but somehow the conservative side of society is perfectly ok with having whole industries devoted to pumping out erectile disfuncion pills to circumvent natural health issues.

So you have to ask yourself why do you feel it's ok to repress whole segments of society because they don't feel comfortable with who they are, while you are perfectly ok with other segments pulling nature's cheat codes to achieve the exact same thing.

This is exactly the point: the authoritarian motivation behind repressing minorities, and the hate speech that goes along with it.
I understand these are not the words you used, or necessarily ideas you hold; what I am describing is the role it plays in the wider rhetorical space. I should have made that more clear, it does look like I was calling you out for that. I'll see if I can edit it in a better way.

Recommending literature is a skill I am still working on; I know things about this or that, but I didn't keep a record of how I learned them, and it's been months or years now. The Wikipedia article has discussion of criticism which may be a good place to start. If you're interested in YouTube videos, there is a large community of trans people who discuss their experiences in the form of video essays. ContraPoints and Philosophy Tube are some of the best known; you may or may not appreciate their politics, that's not what I'm suggesting, but they have a lot of content about what it's like to be a trans person, why they're trans, how they became trans, etc. that's just very difficult information to come by any other way.

I appreciate your good faith and curious engagement with me.
Bunch of companies migrate their stack to Kubernetes or other orchestrators (side effect of moving to microservices even when not needed) so you are safe and in demand for long.
Yeah, I didn't play any of those. I played quite a bit of Doom and Doom 2, but after that, I was mostly done with FPS games. Same as playing Dune 2 but being done with RTS games. I mostly played RPGs and turn-based strategy after that, which is why to me, this period feels like a turning point between everybody playing all the great games across genres, and people gravitating towards their favourite genre.

But it's entirely possible that it's more a matter of age. It makes sense that when you're young, you try everything and when you get older, you stick with your favourites. Although some classics still break through genre barriers. Like Portal or Minecraft.
So just like lobbying, just from the other side?

What happens if the person who owns the NFT dies without passing on the access to their wallet to anybody? Is the idea that this chunk of land is now eternally owned by a dead person? Would you expect the local law to comply with that?

> If these societies were that advanced, would they not have figured out a fraction of the things that we have in modern times?

The interesting question from Graham Hancock’s books is along the lines of: “If these societies were that advanced, how would we know?”

Until Gobekli Tepi was discovered, there was no evidence that humans did anything other than bang rocks together till the end of the last ice age.

We can not use radio carbon dating on inorganic material. We can’t look at a stone monument and determine it’s age purely by looking at the stones. For big monuments, the best we do is “the oldest thing we found here that shouldn’t be here unless someone put it here is xxxx years old. Therefore this is at least xxxx years old”

Graham Hancock and others pointed out that several monuments were aligned astronomically if you assume they were built at the end of the ice age. We didn’t believe anyone could have built the monuments that early because we hadn’t discovered Gobekli Tepi yet.

Basically the current problem isn’t absence of evidence that people were advanced back in the ice age. The problem is determining what is evidence and what is coincidence - and a lot of things that should have been evidence were brushed aside as coincidence because that determination was done pre gobekli tepi.

Public cloud providers boast complete set of features. If you are looking for an end-to-end solution, you should go to public cloud providers. However, there are a few drawbacks.

Vendor lock-in. We all know it's pretty hard to migrate from one public cloud to another. ForS example, Google Cloud will shutter its IoT Core service in 2023.
High cost. Given the big data & massive scale nature of IoT, running complete solutions on public clouds can be very costly.
Have not been laid off and I am not living in the bay area, but in Germany. Still wanted to offer some perspective.

~15 years fullstack and DevOps experience, visited top local university, no degree. Mostly Python + some other languages. Have been interviewing for Lead SE/DevOps/SRE roles as well as some architecture positions.

My findings about the German job market for developers:

- Remote-work is here to stay. Almost all companies are okay with full-remote, those who are not, want ~2 days in the office per week.

- Companies are starting to do leetcode-style interviews. Sometimes some FizzBuzz level to check basic understanding, going up to harder problems unrelated to the position. Unless they are very hard, you will just get used to that.

- Remote or hybrid meetings with multiple participants are horrible for interviewing. The delay makes you come across slow and is very distracting, when you need to look sharp.

- If you want to earn money in Germany, you have to join a bigger company.

- Bigger companies do their development in Java with a minority being MS shops. Python is for data science and DevOps.

- The missing degree is mostly not a problem. Sometimes the CTO's PHD makes it one.

- Landing lead/lower management roles seems to be difficult if you have limited experience leading people. Those seem to be mostly staffed internally.

- The market value for a profile like mine in a big German city seems to be around 100k € including some small bonus.

- There are many offers under that number. I think I would get hired almost instantly if I would accept offers for 80k €.

- All-in all IT does not seem affected by the downturn yet.

While these numbers are not directly comparable to the US (lower cost of living, better social security, health-insurance included and not tied to your job etc.) my subjective feeling is, that I am getting taken advantage of here. Salaries seem to be too low. You are often getting low-balled because "it would not fit within the salaries of the other team members".

For the time being, freelancing is the way to go in Germany, even though you are fighting against regulations.
Imagine some day an AI starts using the proper signatures without access to the private key and no one has a clue how it does it.

From a european perspective, GPT is right at the center of the political spectrum.

Well, there were actual cases of it, but it was exaggerated in the media.

It's not tax-free. It's compensation and taxes must be paid on it. It makes no difference whether your employer buys a sandwich and gives it to you or gives you money to buy a sandwich, it all adds to your income and is taxable, as is your gym reimbursement, etc. Firms that do this increase the withholding taxes and add these benefits to your total compensation which you can review -- go take a look at your employer-provided withholding forms.

It is not at all clear that ChatGPT should follow an internally consistent political philosophy. Just because it answers "agree" when asked a specific question does not mean that it will display that same agreement in it's other interactions. It's a silly and meaningless exercise to try to describe ChatGPT's political leanings from a test like this. The test works for humans because when we say we agree with some statement, that agreement is reflected in our behavior and beliefs about other questions.
