These buildings are basically an anti-individualism ideology, cast in concrete. Which is why far left and far right regimes alike like to erect such structures.

And it’s not even a thing of the past. In its most recent incarnation, the German Greens have declared war on single family homes. The fashionable justification being their carbon footprint. Instead, they are for policies to house people in apartment blocks that are densely spaced within cities instead of suburbs. Often while mixing different demographics that would not normally like to live within the same neighbourhood. Suffice it to say that people continue to pursue the dream of owning houses on their own plot of land.
You can also just create a slack channel just for questions (eg #eng-onboarding), where the sole purpose of the channel is those questions. Lowers the barrier a lot. Even better, you'll see even senior folk pop in to ask questions about parts of the stack or codebase they aren't familiar with.
Well you can statically link stuff in a flatpak… a distribution package however gets automatically rebuilt when a dependency changes, if it's statically linked.
Definitely, the SSI application process can be onerous. It is meant for people who can do no job not just their pre-incident job.

Definitely, SSI is not a full-time job income. That's why a worker with decent active income should look into private, long-term disability insurance.
It all looks so simple after someone else has debugged the problem and figured out it was temperature, that it's just too tempting to distill it down to some dismissive statement like "fail to acknowledge places like Alaska or Ontario exist". But ultimately it's about unknown unknowns. Sure, you can spend massive amounts of time and money trying to make the known unknowns into knowns (higher background radiation, higher cosmic rays, lower/higher air pressure, higher sun intensity, camera flashes, and so on). But even if you do this for a number of things including temperature, there will still be bunch of factors you won't be preemptively testing. In which case respecting the general lesson will come in handy, even though it's been explained by someone who failed to do testing that you consider routine.
Nationalisation with control handed to the workers.

And of course there's also the little thing about McDonnell and Corbyn being Marxist and socialist.

Again, too many people still seem not to be willing to see what's not even hidden. History should really be compulsory over the whole of secondary school.

Edit: they had hinted it very strongly but did not mention it in the 2017 manifesto apart from calling to promote coops. But in the 2019 manifesto it is explicitly written that nationalised utilities would be "run by service-users and workers".

McDonnell is a Marxist and so, obviously, he wanted a Marxist economic policy in which nationalisation does not mean state capitalism but really indeed workers in charge of the means of production.

What data sources do you work with? I didn't know about RTK, it looks interesting but seems hardly applicable to satellite imagery, since it seems that you'd need a lot of receiving stations on the ground?

My understanding is that providers like Maxar report coordinate systems correctly, but that errors in ortho-rectification (due to imprecise or wrong terrain altitude data) make it hard to make two images of the same area match exactly.

> even using advanced systems from leading suppliers, vital facts are just not recorded because geographic coordinates system are so numerous and complex suppliers just offer defaults and do the real work in the background

Not sure I understand what you mean by this. Do you get data that reports a coordinate system different from the one it actually uses?

The post didn't explicitly say "apartment", but it said:

What kind of dwelling, apart from apartments, are there in a "semi-crowded city"? They may not be high-rises, but even if it's a "multi-family house", it's still "apartments". There's only a (usually thin) wall separating your room from your neighbor's. This is one of the main aspects people typically hate about apartments.

It depends on what you mean by "the same". It is already "the same" in the sense that the CAR and CDR of both NIL and (NIL) are all NIL. They just aren't EQUAL, despite the fact that their CARs and CDRs are EQUAL (in fact, they are all EQ).
Proton is a platform.

> MacOS is actually less locked down than a Linux server built by even a half competent sysadmin.

In no way is this true. Linux servers built by half-competent sysadmins don't have System Integrity Protection, read-only boot images with digital signatures, or even proper secure boot.
> I don't really see modified clients as having any impact on the security aspects.

Your messages are only as secure as the least secure part of the network. In an absurd example, that other client could take your messages and publish all conversations straight to Twitter in the public. Effectively rendering the encryption pointless. While this is an absurd example, there are things people do that aren't drastically different, including unencrypted plain text backups.

> I don't understand what "low trust" means.

Trust isn't a binary option of: I trust this person/thing/group vs I don't trust it. There is a spectrum. The question is not "do you trust x?" but "how much do you trust x?" This is more obvious with people you deal with in your daily life. There are people you trust with some things but not others. I am willing to bet that you don't have two sets of people in your life: those that you're a complete open book with and those you are a closed book with. You share different pages with different people and this is okay. Signal's mission is to read as little of that book as possible while maximizing your security and privacy. That is low trust. I'm actually not even aware of a zero trust system in existence. All the ZKPs I know still require a trust in the setup process, so aren't completely trustless. Either way, you still need to trust that things aren't improperly implemented. Even if you check it yourself, you have to trust that you yourself didn't make a mistake. Trust is not binary, but a spectrum. There is no global optima and we need to be aware of the trade-offs being made.

There’s also this interesting mix of humbleness and ambitiousness, with the real feeling of “everyone can change the world” by actually doing fantastic things, instead of boasting about their skills. It sorta feels like a place where the engineers are superheroes.

It’s a bit tragic that a lot of times this comes at the cost of mental health, though MIT has gone a long way to improve that.
It seems like a reasonable feature in 2022.

Every other site makes that feature available to users without any intervention from support.

And as stated, the conversation have already taken place and most likely no further participation ever. Its not much of a loss, with ephemeral comments being par for the course on the Internet.

Is it just waiting for that normal feature to become available and then delete comments and an account? The facilities are in place to already achieve those results.

Its also a good end-of-year habit to delete unused accounts online. No other site uses the word gutted for something so basic.
Yes, selection bias. Loud people are easy to spot. Lurkers are hard to spot. A loud minority, therefore, can create the illusion of a larger mass of similar folk. Take, for example, the gamergate situation. There was just SO much toxic communication, it was a complete shitstorm, where many were attacked online in a horrible manner. So, gamers sure are a toxic bunch, right? Well, turns out, there are 1.5 billion gamers on PC alone. I'm sure 95% percent of them never even heard about such a thing as gamergate.

I guess this might be a nitpick, but I don't think most cryptocurrency exchanges do function like "traditional financial exchanges." They seem to operate more like a combination of exchange and brokerage.

I'm not an expert but I don't think "traditional financial exchanges" hold assets to be traded on behalf of customers. I think they are just meeting points for traders, and they host the public order book.

> Why would I use Linux Desktop over Windows Desktop?

For example it doesn't keep installing "apps" that are just ads for netflix/spotify/tiktok/whatever without me ever having wanted them to appear.
It's because paper doesn't EMIT light; it only reflects it. This simple fact was ignored for the last 30+ years of OS vendors pushing inverse color schemes on us. I see it as a vestige of the "desktop publishing" fad of the late '80s/early '90s, which sought to make the computer screen an analogy for a piece of paper. Or Apple's attempt to look "different."

Now all of a sudden people finally realized that reading dark text off the surface of a glaring light bulb all day is a shitty way to work, and vendors have backpedaled clumsily to offering a hard-coded "dark mode." But we already had an even-better solution: Windows let users set up their own system-wide color scheme, from Windows 3.1 through XP or even Vista. Any properly-constructed application would inherit the system colors for various on-screen elements and guarantee legibility. If you wanted to change the look of all your applications, you had one central place to do it. And if, as a developer, you wanted to guarantee a color scheme, all you had to do was make sure you overrode both foreground and background colors.

But Microsoft actually REMOVED that capability just in time for it to become desirable to more people than ever. Brilliant.

When you have the left getting 35% of the vote, the centrists getting 19%, and the right getting 30%, the right isn't working, by all means, compromise and try the centrists for a change. Why the left/Labour is unable to understand this, (throwing their weight to the centrists closer to their aims) and instead getting the right elected is astonishing.
I've noticed that a lot of the people who do Android modding, custom ROMs, etc. don't otherwise actually have any formal training in software or computing; they're just pursuing a goal of "I want my phone to do X" and end up learning a lot in the process. Indeed, this may be their first and only exposure to Java.

Thanks for this. I read about a hundred pages of the (excellent) lecture on RTGI last night. SIGGRAPH stuff is a bit aspirational for me - feels just beyond what I’m able to follow.

> But NIL is not equal to (CONS NIL NIL).

Yes, that's true, but that is a special case. For all other objects X and Y, if (CAR X) is equal to (CAR Y) and (CDR X) is equal to (CDR Y) then X and Y are equal. NIL and (NIL) are the only exception. And the fact that they are an exception is a consequence of the design decision to allow CAR and CDR to be called on NIL and return NIL.

> The wart is that it should never have been the case that you could call CAR and CDR on NIL.

Yes, that is the whole point.

> But even though you can wartily call them on NIL, there is still clearly a very important distinction between NIL and (CONS (CAR NIL) (CDR NIL))!

You could have as well said between NIL and (CONS NIL NIL) or just (NIL). And yes, this is true. Nonetheless, it is possible to implement NIL as a privileged cons cell with both CAR and CDR pointing to itself under the hood, and many CL implementations actually do this. It's a design decision. You have to put the warty code somewhere. You can put it in CAR and CDR, or you can put it in NULL, EQUAL, SYMBOLP, etc. But you have to put it somewhere.

That isn't really a path, that is a destination - how do you want them to keep their independence? Because if the plan is to sit on China's border as a staunch, militarily aligned US ally that is a plan with some very obvious risks - especially in light of what happened to Ukraine.

In fact, the only way that ends well for Taiwan is if China experiences some sort of collapse. Possible, but not really a good strategy.

Nope, the url given always redirects me to log into Facebook. I cannot view the article.
Rather, it is precisely an empathic explanation. It attempts to find an underlying basis for such an opinion rather than writing it off as unfounded. People with high reactance have an emotional response when compelled to action and this emotional response is what I'm empathizing with.

Any reading of my response as judgemental is a perversion of intention and I'd encourage anyone doing so to get curious and assume positive intent rather than reading it with malicious subtext. Something is only pathological if it negatively impacts someone's life.
This is not, by any stretch, what modern anarchists would use as a definition.

Try instead, "a society free from unjust hierarchies". Most anarchists are comfortable with the idea of democracy, elections, and delegation of decision making. As long as it's consensual and democratic. Think of like, "hey, we need a treasurer to manage the finances".

Anarchism is not a unified idea. Anarcho syndicalism is different from Anarcho communism is different from Anarcho socialism.
So everyone just has to lie and pretend, just to make trans people feel better? Push down their own beliefs and feelings in case someone who thinks they are the opposite sex reads anything that may be critical of this?

As a more concrete counterpoint, here's a news article from last year which includes a lesbian woman describing her rape by a man who calls himself a woman: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-57853385

The editors decided to replace the male pronouns she used to describe him with "they" and "them":

> Another reported a trans woman physically forcing her to have sex after they went on a date.

> "[They] threatened to out me as a terf and risk my job if I refused to sleep with [them]," she wrote. "I was too young to argue and had been brainwashed by queer theory so [they were] a 'woman' even if every fibre of my being was screaming throughout so I agreed to go home with [them]. [They] used physical force when I changed my mind upon seeing [their] penis and raped me."

How do you think she must have felt reading this truthful quote of hers mangled into a lie? A rape victim who isn't permitted to have her rape accurately reported, after she had already been shamed into getting into bed with this man by him weaponising the same ideology that censors her now.

Was she guilty of hate speech by describing her own rape?

I read your source by the way, it's very one-sided, and mostly irrelevant to the conversation about speech.
Yes, the article does create the impression the amount of solar we can have is limited by the land it consumes.

100e18 joules = the amount of energy the USA consumes in a year. [0]

4,000 sq kilometres = area of solar panels to generate the energy. [1]

5,000,000 sq kilometres = USA land devoted to agriculture. [2]

Ergo whatever is the problem is with 100% solar, it isn't the availability of land. Even doing bizarre things like saying we will over provision by a factor of 10 doesn't stress the land supply. (Over provisioning by a factor of 10 gets rid of the cloudy day problem, because even on the cloudiest day you get 10% yield).

If you put solar on ag land, you will do it because the solar helps the ag, not because solar needs the land.

The cost of those solar panels might have something to do with it not happening. At $1.00/watt it's about USA$800B. It's less than the USA spent on the Iraq war. But it's significant nonetheless, and you need storage. So perhaps double it.

[0] USA Energy consumption, all types (not just electricity) https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/us-energy-facts/

[1] 4,000 sq kilometres = (64km x 64km) assuming 4 peak hours of solar per day and 20% efficiency. That's 2,500 sq miles = (50mi x 50mi).
