I thought it was implied but I meant former settler colonies of the UK specifically.

The USA could be included and does have overall remarkably stable politics compared to most of the world. I didn't include it due to the length of time it has been separate from the UK, however there was substantial emigration from the British Isles to the USA in the 19th century with the settling of the West (more British went to the USA in the 19th century than Canada/Australia/NZ/South Africa combined and served as a 2nd large wave of Anglofying influence on the nation). I would lump it in with the other nations I mention as having overall extreme stable politics and high adherence to political norms that can be broadly characterised as the "Anglo model of politics".

South Africa is a bit of a unique case. Due to the Apartheid system it never had any of the sort of political stability that characterises the politics of the other nations mentioned.

The political culture of Spain/Portugal is massively different from the UK (especially at the time of the colonisation of the Americas) and the model of politics in the nations of South America is very different as a result.

> Remember it was discovered this year the editorial desk of the NYtimes has a mandate that all stories must paint tech in a negative light.

That's not at all what happened. There were rumors that tech reporting should be critical[1], instead of gushing and repeating claims from press releases without actually investigating. Real journalism is critical, and critical doesn't mean "bad" or "negative".

That last bit about making mistakes but at least decisions are being made is important. Also connects well with what we have seen in the first 6 weeks of Elon Twitter.
This reminds me of Elizabeth Holmes when she wanted engineers to work 24-hour shifts and she was upset they couldn't hire anyone willing to work those hours.
> In a real democracy the big challenge should be how to protect minorities from the tyranny of the majority.

Protection of minorities has nothing to do with democracy, and is often anti-Democratic. In the west, minorities are increasingly being invoked by elites as pretexts for strengthening anti-Democratic institutions and overruling majorities.
Can you think of some examples where tech was obviously ahead of its time and not accepted

Mobile devices with clunky resistive touchscreens come to mind. The iPhone was hardly the first "smartphone," but Jobs's key insight was to have people sitting by the river waiting for decent touchscreen technology to come floating by. When capacitive multitouch happened, it was a classic example of apparent "good luck" being equal to "preparation meets opportunity." Musk is obviously
trying to camp the same spawning grounds with Neuralink.

Teletext might be another example, as the predecessor to the WWW. Putting a lot of money into advancing Teletext development would have resulted in WebTV at best, and more likely just an expensive waste of time.

Any of dozens of personal computer models in the 1980s, some quite advanced, that weren't made by Apple or IBM.

Navigation and infotainment in cars -- Buick's early CRT touchscreen and Honda's "electric gyrocator" for navigation come to mind. There was no point trying to do either of those things at the time.

Minidisc as an early embodiment of advanced DSP techniques for lossy audio compression. ATRAC could have been MP3 but wasn't, because Sony.

Analog laserdiscs as a home video format. It was the right basic idea, and boasted some exotic technology under the hood -- but disc-based A/V needed to wait for digital techniques before it really made sense.

Not hard to come up with examples that answer this question, for sure.
'comptime' only works if all arguments are known at compile time and the function can be evaluated at compile time. This is not the same as inlining, which puts the body of the function in the caller and remove the call. (And then do further optimisations such as const propagation)
I think it is more analogous to the laws prohibiting people from selling their own organs. The problem isn't that organ transplants are immoral, the problem is that allowing it can create perverse incentives especially for disadvantaged groups.

If you squint at MAID one way, you can see all the good it does for people who really need it. If you squint another way, you can see the medical system just killing off the people it failed.
Of course they could. But it's an arms race and if one party breaks the pact it would start all over again.
I am sympathetic to those who wish for assisted suicide to prevent pain for diseases or illnesses they've succumbed to. I agree with your thesis that death may be preferential to suffering, and should be available to those who seek it.

On the other hand, there are articles like this[1], wherein the main factor for the requested euthanasia is income.

"But until recently, he was able to live comfortably, sharing his modest home in Medicine Hat, Alberta, with his service dog.

Changes to his state benefits when he turned 65 in May meant his income was cut and he's now left with around $120 per month after paying for medical bills and essentials."

The bogeyman against a state monopoly on medical care has long been that the state will seek cost effectiveness over quality of care, and this adds the additional paranoia of worrying over whether other social safety net programs may lean into the notion that perhaps it isn't as beneficial to fund those who are less productive members of society due to age or inability when it is easier to put them down.

I don't have a particular dog in the fight either way, but where I want medical assisted euthanasia to exist as an option against suffering, I have some concern that it could become encouraged for what I consider less appropriate ailments, like poverty.

The whole point of democracy is that we don’t agree on what’s “the truth” and who is “right” and need a process for deciding what to do notwithstanding those disagreements.
The character Garak on DS9 had a brain implant that was designed for resistance to torture. One day he just turned it on, and getting off it was like drug withdrawal. About the same for Louis Wu on Ringworld. "Wireheads" would die of starvation when their implant was turned on. Implants like this have been widely covered in fiction, and among the scariest drugs possible.
The two terms refer to very different phenomena. Consider this incrementing function:

int f(int x) {return x + 1;}

int main() {
int y = f(3); // this will change
return 0;
}

inline means to substitute the body of the function into the call site:

int y = 3 + 1;

comptime means to substitute the results of the function call into the call site:

int y = 4;

An inline function only requires that the compiler decide the function body is "small enough" and not recursive. The compiler simply rewrites the AST before codegen.

But comptime evaluation means that the compiler has actually run the function ahead of time. (This might be done via a builtin virtual machine, for example.) The requirements are that the function is "pure" (no side effects) and that the inputs can also be resolved ahead of time.

A recursive function could be comptime but not inline, whereas a function with IO could be inline but not comptime. The above incrementing function just happens to be both inline and comptime.

That sort of observation bias exists anyway. It is how movies can replace actors with stunt performers in a wig.
I wrote my own firmware for some IoT devices as a personal project. At first I tried to be careful about optimizing all the things, but when I changed course and rewrote parts to be more readable instead it compiled to exactly the same binary. So now I just leave optimizations to the compiler. (Nothing I’m writing is so performance critical that I need to manually optimize further, like I’m sure is necessary for other situations.)

Everyone is cheering this on... But as far as I can tell Apple did not win the Document Editor and business computing war vs MS.

Microsoft clearly won with the Microsoft Office Suite and Microsoft Word... I'm not sure about this specific tech or if OpenDoc would have made any difference... But is it an impossibility that open standards could have been a strong weapon against MS market dominance?

Either way the man is undeniably a legendary public speaker.
I don't have a problem with people getting MAID, but I do have a problem with medical practitioners pushing it on people who want to live but can't get basic resources to deal with very manageable disabilities.

Actually no, they did not run on that. They ran on a platform of “sharing the proceeds of growth”, and then changed their mind after getting into office. I believe the outgoing minister left a (lighthearted?) note saying “I’m afraid there is no money left”, which was used as a partial justification.
I only read one article about para-olympic person asking for help and given suggestion to commit suicide instead.

What you’re seeing in India is democracy in action. Modi has the highest approval rating of any major world leader, nearly 80%: https://morningconsult.com/global-leader-approval. What you’re seeing is the majority of Indians overthrowing the minority of British-educated secular liberals that have ruled India since independence.

This is an excellent analysis of what’s happening in India: https://unherd.com/2021/04/the-culture-wars-of-post-colonial... (“The last of the post-partition generations are passing on, to be replaced by an indigenous leadership class more parochial and rooted in the subcontinent. The modern Indian culture war is a reflection of the decline of a once-secure, outward-looking cosmopolitan Western elite in the face of a rising Hindu nationalist movement, one that is relatively insular and inward looking. India is maturing, becoming culturally more self-confident, and shedding its post-colonial skin.”).

That’s trivial to get. Once we know the pixel word length and do some frequency analysis for estimates, along with an analysis of subtle compression artifacts that typically form in the white space surrounding various characters or combinations of characters, it’s game over for you, we will find the redacted content with reasonable certainty.
For absolute Privacy (If that's even possible without going off-grid), Then yes.

But if you need to use apps which you trust but it depends upon proprietary Google bits then microG is the best alternative now.

microG > Open Gapps > Gapps

e.g. Signal needs GCM to send notifications, If it doesn't find one it will revert to pull notifications. Pull notifications are unreliable and are subject to being killed by battery management due to power consumption. Not to mention missing notifications during emergencies could be dangerous.

microG is totally configurable, You don't need a Google account to use it. So even if Google knows about your device, It would require parallel construction to identify you personally. I think that's even better than using any Google app on iOS.
I suspect the author has an agenda and a slant, given the read of his twitter account and some of the slippery logic he's using in this article.
I love the style to pieces, but I stopped reading when on the very first page I tried I found something that was central to the post but plain wrong, namely the conflation of logical positivism with verificationism. That's totally incorrect history (and it was a post about history).
FTX (in total) was an entity that operated in most countries in the world, under their regulatory regimes (if existent), across four(+?) major, different lines of business.

There is one thing that web clients like this should always have, which is that if a link is for a specific server/file/channel/etc, to always include links or instructions to access it even if JavaScripts and CSS are disabled.

The US, UK and Russia did have a security guarantee with Ukraine in return for them giving up the nuclear weapons they had under the Soviet union.

Ukraine has strongly indicated they want to join the EU and NATO and have moved towards a more democratic government (with corruption problems, but some western allies also have corruption). Self serving as that might be they are, for all intents and purposes, our allies. And they are rather strategically positioned.

And then we also don't like one country systematically attacking the civilians and civilian infrastructure of another country. There are various agreements about rules of engagement, not annexing within agreed upon borders etc.

In answer to your question then: nothing, there's nothing special about Ukraine. That's the point.

In case people are wondering how Twitter would know something is offensive before it's reported:

> the ruling that Twitter has a duty not only to remove the illegal content that is reported, but also to track down fundamentally similar content anywhere on the platform, from any account, and ensure that it ceases

So I guess we just trust that Twitter's "similarity" ranking is infallible
I don't think people are cheering this on because the business decision led to product victory.

Bitcoin did "figure that out". You're referring I think to cashgrabs that slap the Blockchain term to try to milk some money.

Bitcoin originates from a concrete customer experience issue: lack of digital money with some cash like properties (non reversible, pseudonymous, trustless, etc). [1]

Something like that had been tried to create a few times before, but Blockchain was the first solution to that problem. In other words bitcoin solved a problem looking for a solution, not the other way around.

That being said, crypto UX has a LOT to improve. But let's not confuse projects that use "blockchain" because some manager thought it was cool, or literal cashgrabs, with actual crypto projects.

[1] You may think those properties aren't good or useful, but there clearly was and is people that find that useful, so let's not beat the dead horse with that debate.
Euthanasia is a decision you will never regret. We force people to live if they don't want to because of other people's feelings. Per the article, 'many people are choosing euthanasia because they’re not getting the “supports and cares” they need.'. On one hand, someone ends their suffering and stops caring about any 'what if' scenarios. On the other hand, a lot of people feel bad and look bad because they were involved in creating and supporting or failing to support the system that failed to provide the support and care the deceased needed. And the surviving friends and relatives who do care about the lost potential.
Why is low corporate taxes a bad thing? I want countries to compete on efficient government and low taxes. Otherwise it’s an endless cycle of stealing from private enterprise until there is nothing left.
Kindle's animation is pretty good, and I did that fidgeting thing with it all the time. I've never experienced the stuttering on Android that the OP has on iOS. It also shows the text bleeding through the back side of the page.

But the animation is disabled by default and lately I've stuck with the regular sliding animation because it's faster and much less obtrusive. It also lets you start turning the page as you're reading the last line.
I also disagree with this. This implicitly assumes that anyone who makes big changes that are painful will be successful. But this is manifestly untrue.

A big difference in what Jobs did and what Musk is doing is that Musk has fired people at Twitter pretty much indiscriminately. Jobs had a clear idea for a working product line. He brought NeXTSTEP with him to Apple, along with NeXT engineers. And he kept those teams that worked in critical areas.

Just pointing out that what you take for granted today is being removed from newer systems (which additionally relates to the thread as a whole since it uses an alternative way to get ownership over the software running on the device), so maybe it's not such an 'of course' anymore in the way you said :(

You're dramatically overestimating the actual land coverage that would be needed to power the entire world with solar panels (assuming one abstracts away the problem of actually running power lines everywhere). A square 340 miles on a side would do it, from the back-of-the-envelope calculations I've seen.

1. Run a website like whatsmyuseragent.com
2. Collect all user agents

That isn't a solution, its a personal ideology made manifest and an extreme response to the recent controversy around a veteran inappropriately offered MAID for PTSD and suicidal thoughts, for which the offeror was sacked.

There are legitimate, compassionate reasons to allow people the choice to die with dignity.
You should check out Winter CMS, we're built on top of Laravel and themes are powered by Twig - no heavy PHP code allowed in themes. Instead, complex logic is handled by "Components" that are provided by plugins.

It's extremely powerful and developer friendly (no more "custom post types" for every record type under the sun), definitely my preferred way to build websites that WordPress would normally handle.

Much better put together? The guy who publicly threw away his life and then used his considerable funds to cheat the line of transplants and then died anyway. Musk is definitely not as well spoken as Jobs, but Jobs has Musk beat on the level of insanity by that alone.
How to sign up for Mastodon: A guide to using the Twitter alternative
It is quite a good marker! However, given the history of oppression, pogroms, and anti-Semitism not only in Ukraine but also Poland, Russia, and all of Europe, the lack of anti-Semitism in today's Ukrainian nationalism is a remarkable change from the past. The anti-Semitic statements regularly coming from Russian officials is quite a contrast. The Jewish people at Maidan that ironically referred to themselves as Judeo-Banderistas is quite a comment on this shift in Ukraine.

In fact, the first audience question in this talk by historian Marci Shore speaking to a Judaic Studies audience about the war and Zelenskyy, was "where's the anti-Semitism?" (1:03:00):

And her answer is that a civic identity is being developed in the nation, separate from ethnicity.

Also quite interesting is the assertion that this lie about modern day Ukrainian neo-Nazism came from the same propaganda factory that created the Hillary Clinton pizza pedopholoa conspiracy, and led to the whole Q thing.

One of my favorite lectures I've seen in the past months, if the topic grabs you.
Out of curiosity how do they plan too monetize these workflows? I'm sure the really big players in the industry (i.e. Merck/Eli Lilly/etc..) all have their own bespoke workflows. Maybe, the founder actually put in a few years at one of these companies and knew some of the gaps in their workflow but looking at his resume that doesn't seem the case.
Honestly, if the company didn't do basic environmental testing during development, they got off VERY easy.

I don't have an environmental chamber, but I wish I did. Everything I build goes into the fridge for at least a few hours (which means it gets tested at extreme humidity as well as extreme temperature, for better or worse.)

I should put boards on a hot plate at ~60C for a similar length of time, but I didn't do that recently, and I paid heavily for that bit of negligence. Probably wasted 100-200 person-hours at the factory, having them rework a NOR flash part that was fine all along but didn't like being inadvertently overclocked by 2x once the board reached operating temperature in the test area.
Obsidian is still closed source, right? I thought they were talking about open sourcing it at some point.
Precisely. Crypto is a solution in search of a problem.
