> Endeavor to punch up.

I'm skeptical of the concept of "punching up" in general. It seems to assume a single sorting criterion. As a counter-example, suppose someone high up in an organization is from a historically disenfranchised ethnicity. Is attacking them "punching up" or "punching down"?
I often suspect the person people coming up with these lists are white woke people, more so than the people groups supposedly offended by these terms.
How I deal with this: I don't install the app. They still work pretty well without. I did recently buy one that has great Valetudo support, but for now the flash instructions are a bit too complicated with respect to the fact it works well without setting up apps or internet connection.
Is there a proof that we have to die? Or that immortality for a human is impossible? Seems more like a lot in the medical field have experienced so much death that they simply have accepted it for a fact.

If you asked someone centuries back if we would go to the moon, they will laugh you out of the room. Similarly, if you said that people will consistently live to their 90+ years of age.
I am aware of prior art in distributed systems. My point was that being able to enforce certain guarantees is likely impossible, i.e. your use case of global state prevention. Working with global state and making it easier is a different goal with different tradeoffs

Latinx is an example of grammatical colonialism at its finest. It's favoring cultural misappropriation of a non-english word over using the proper English adjective "Latin".

I give it 1-2 more years before being put out to pasture with "African American".

[Edit: Also, WTF? Indigenous people from the US are supposed to be called Latinx now?]
I really don't understand how anybody proposing these types of rules is ever met with anything but open contempt. No one has ever been able to explain it to me.
> nice cherry picked rebuttal.

Your accusation is really comical since your arguments are way more cherry picked than mine. I at least acknowledge that what we have right now is indeed capitalism despite the lack of ideological purity.

> you missed a big point that there are tons of variations of how socialism can work.

We've literally had over a hundred years of political experiments with socialism. I've gone over all the variations that have existed in real life, with the longest running experiments being North Korea and Cuba.

> i define socialism as a way to organize a business where the workers control the business

The reason why this doesn't work is logistics. It's already incredibly hard just to get that co-op concept working in small company. (I believe it barely worked with a packaging company.) It's near impossible to even get that working for a co-op with locations nationwide. Our so-called national co-ops run more as a public benefit corporations than your strict view of a co-op.

> i define capitalism where an owner (or owners) control the business and they employee workers who have little or no control over the business.

In a system where even workers can own pieces of a corporation, that black and white view doesn't survive; especially when workers can strike, just leave for another company, or better yet start their own business. It is much harder for proletariats to influence the socialist state, than it is for employees to influence their bosses because capitalist systems have competing powers

> if we can't agree on those definitions then there's really no point in nitpicking each other's arguments.

When your entire argument falls apart from “nitpicking”, it means that it’s weak. Your argument is weak because it completely ignores history. We've done the socialism experiment for over a 100 years now. Ideas don’t live in an ivory vacuum. They need to survive reality. What we’ve seen in the 20th century is socialism in reality. If you ever get a chance to read the founding declarations of communist states, they are very similar to your co-op idealism.

What Confucius, Marx, Paine, Plato, and even Smith all failed to realize is that humans will always find a way to cheat the system and subvert it for their own gain. In HN speak, "individual nodes will always seek to optimize their own efficiency, at the cost of the system as a whole". Corruption doesn't disappear when you switch to socialism. Every known system regardless of whether it's capitalism or socialism will always eventually fail ie hit late stage, unless you can completely neutralize the human propensity to hack everything. Capitalism and socialism are both poor, temporary bandaids. Capitalism is only slightly better because it offers more flexibility.

I've had good luck implementing this "git scraping" pattern: https://simonwillison.net/2020/Oct/9/git-scraping/

Might be more precise to call it "GitHub scraping" as you set up your script to run on a schedule on GitHub Actions CI and keep its state by committing into the git repo.

We have our scripts running on GH Actions end by hitting the Slack API to notify us with a message.

I can't help you with the legal side of things, but moving forward I advise hiring some security-aware infra guy. The root cause of most of these incidents is some human being incompetent (leading to things like poor security and relying on manual processes) or reckless.
I'm no believer in immortality, but I find your argument unconvincing. People are removed from their childhood home all the time, immersed in a foreign culture. They survive. I'd certainly accept a sudden relocation to an unfamiliar foreign land vs. dying. And I'm certain that a hypothetical resurrected human wouldn't be the only one - what's to say these folks wouldn't form their own pocket of culture?

You say: "We got the money back and fired the guy who had a jenkins opened without password, granting terminal access to anyone."

I love my history but it seems most of my fav podcasts have already been mentioned on here. However, no one has mentioned this one which is a podcast of lectures from the late great Joseph Campbell:

https://pathways-with-joseph-campbell.simplecast.com/episode...

If you enjoy superb analysis of ancient myths and religion check it out. Campbell was a major influence on people like George Lucas and others.

The audio is surprisingly good considering some of lectures are from the 60s and 70s.

I honestly can't get enough of this podcast.
Even 3 was pushing it. In the 50s 2:30 or less was common.
That sounds quite neat, however, this only works for your (spotify) account, right?

I wonder how many stealth mode companies have actually delivered anything?

Magic Leap used to be in stealth mode back in 2016 and there was so much frenzied speculation around it in the media.

Last I heard, they had delivered some headsets of industrial process automation and that's about it.
No that’s a very dubious take.
Exactly. In particular, see the "Powerful, Reliable Software Can Be Bad" section of <https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point....>. It'll take careful engineering to keep this from being useful for DRM, which I'm worried won't get done.
It's a fallacy if there's nothing pushing a thing. Activists? They push, and from experience don't stop at any sane point either but keep going on.
There is hope. Well, sort of. Services exists because of the unprecedentedly large middle class that's been created artificially by using currency emission to stimulate consumer demand and thus grow the economy ('raegonomics'). But it's been quite a while since emission stopped working and started to give the opposite effect.

Having dealt with some of what you are dealing with, I will share some thoughts.

There's tremendous social power in humility. Go onto LinkedIn, and start connecting with people you know from elementary, high school, college, and your master's. Reconnect with those you were closest with once upon a time. You can also simply ask for advice from some poeple by asking for informational interviews with them.

Remember that depression, anxiety and mental disease will make you lie to yourself. For example, I hear shades of those lies when I see you say something is "too late" or a "pity case" or that you "wallowed" and so let your life pass you by. These are all lies.

I think that very few people - excluding, you'll pardon the profanity, assholes - would not understand taking care of your father, then taking care of your family and grieving. In fact, many people will greatly respect you for that. Again, your depression may be lying to you there.

Again, another lie: 43 is not too late for a wife or kids.

It is difficult that you do not have mental health resources nearby you. I get the impression you are not in the U.S., and so I don't know what the state of telehealth is in your country, but here in the U.S. a large amount of therapists meet with their client via video screen, making distance less of a concern. Maybe that is happening where you are.

If not, I would recommend learning about something called "learned helplessness". It is in a book called "Learned Optimism" by Martin Seligman. It explores how we explain things to ourselves, and how people can get into the habit of explaining bad events as personal faults. I feel that's what you're doing.

Two things you might want to do that might seem childish, but could be useful. The first is to wear a rubber band on your wrist, and each time you hear yourself deriding yourself, snap it against your wrist. You'll begin to become a lot more conscious of the messages you are sending yourself.

The other suggestion is to start adding a few words to each insult you tell yourself. "Right now, my mind is telling me that ... ". "Right now, my mind is telling me that I'm worthless." The idea is to start associating the fact that these statements are a mental message, not the truth.

There are a lot of people whose lives didn't begin until their forties. I don't know if you ever watched the TV show "Frasier," but the actor who played his dad didn't start acting until his forties. There are a lot of other people who didn't begin until later in life.

And what you have done already is not throwing away your life. You got a master's and helped your father and your family. These are all hard and noble things. I am telling you as an objective stranger: it is okay for you to feel proud of yourself for these things. None of this is shameful.

The first does not imply the second in every case. There are many, many instances where a creator with unlimited resources would have chosen to drawn more frames. And now we can.

there is no value right now in open secure element. secure element is arguably the most secure hardware platform in the world to deploy at scale.

- secure element is in every credit card

- secure element is in every cell phone

- secure element is in every modern passport

these aren’t simple use cases. these have national security implications. i foresee this going the opposite direction as more critical things rely on secure element more individual proprietary implementations will emerge.

it’s still a standard. you can still develop on top of secure element. but who really benefits from it being open?

Here in Stockholm they got rid of the flashing green man on large intersections (in other words, where the change was most dangerous for pedestrians).

Because cars can always turn through a crossing, this causes near misses and mayhem all the time, but I find generally that a lot of people don’t notice or just accept the car-dominance as a natural thing.

When the kids were small we taught them about these dangerous intersections calling them “surprise-red-man” crossings (sounds better in Swedish).

I’ve never been able to work out the logic of why the flashing green man should disappear on exactly those roads where they’re most needed.
Best we can do is stop feeding this monster, I know my kids won't be going to Stanford now at least.

The collapse of media companies disagrees.

People are tired of openly racist organizations lecturing everyone else about how racism is such a problem — such as Harvard who has been griping for a decade… and argued they have a right to be racist to Asians in October.

In case it's insightful, I've correspondingly never understood the common contentment with death. The world is an incredible place, and there's so much to experience and do. If I had the time there's hundreds of careers I could spend a lifetime in each trying to develop mastery. I think I could live a thousand lives with the people I care about and not be done. I've had to choose one life, and it's a nice one, but if it wasn't for some limit forced upon me, if it was really my choice, then there's a lot more I'd like to do.

I suspect in hundreds or thousands of years we'll look back at age-related death culturally the same way we look at infant mortality during the medieval ages: commonly accepted as part of life at the time, but unnecessary and completely solvable in retrospective.

I think fear is the wrong word per-say. If it's something I can't change, that's fine. But if there's an avenue to change it, even if unlikely, why not try?

> The overwhelmingly vast majority of "protect yourself from government tyranny" types want to massively curtail police powers

I find this hard to believe. Back the blue, blue lives matter, thin blue line people are propagated by gun enthusiasts who use nice slogans like “government tyranny” to justify their positions in a shallow and emotional way. There’s no actual belief in government tyranny, otherwise they wouldn’t stand with the law enforcement arm of the government’s elevated agents.
Great advice, seriously
Sure, maybe a creator can utilize AI interpolation as a tool. I understood your comment to be about applying AI interpolation to works already completed.
Ultimately in such matters I find that truth is the supreme value. If what you’re saying about a disability isn’t true, no matter what good intentions you may have, the things you’re saying are likely just going to confuse matters further.

The biggest problem with the guide on the point of blindness is it prescribes the correct attitude to have towards blindness, but people have all sorts of feelings about blindness, for all sorts of different and valid reasons. I think you’ve lost the plot to some extent when you start insisting that ANY disability shouldn’t be portrayed in a negative light, because the reality is people have many negative experiences with disability, there are positive experiences as well, but negative feelings are a big part of disability (even if you don’t feel them presently you’re probably felt them at some point), and not just for reasons of culture.

The blindfold example is a bit facetious, but if being blind is just as good as not being blind, why do people go to such lengths to stay sighted? Glasses are an entire industry. Why don’t people just live without sight? A theory about the world which cannot answer such questions is incomplete.
Counter intuitive, perhaps, but not necessarily purpose-defeating, because a stealth mode company can choose to release its open source components only a later moment in time, when it is ready to generate positive cash flow.
> A) this is a good thing - watching long drawn-out titles is boring.

Some shows have decent intros that, for the lack of a better word, help set the atmosphere/mood right at the start. You might find it boring, since it is repeated every time, but that is also the reason why shows can put a good amount of production quality and resources into it.

> B) was likely partly driven by the US need to put advertising in everything. Which meant time for the actual program was constrained by broadcast schedules.

Not only the US and it isn't limited to intros. Over the years I ran into a few broadcasts of movies and shows that ruined the plot by cutting too much of the show itself to make space for ads.
Feels like cheating to say that about a function written in intrinsics though.

Peer review doesn't include tests of nationalism, nor biographical investigations. Bias is neither ignored by following the evidence (which is precisely what can indicate it!), nor exposed by wild claims about the nationalism of non-default US/Euro scientists.
Probably what you should take away from this is not “wokism gone crazy” (err, sorry “wild”). The more important lesson here is that the bloat in academic institutions has gotten so outrageous that people start bullshit time-consuming initiatives to justify their positions and the positions of their reports.

Absolutely no one will take this seriously including the person who wrote it but they will be able to put it on their performance review that they removed exclusive language from Stanford web pages.
- first take care of your health, physical and mental both.
- Try smaller goals, for a week, then month. Any change would take some time so don't rush.
- I would say don't go in relationship immediately until you are completely sure
- I am grown up in developing country where people have much more challenges in life you might not imagine but they do their best one day at a time. Past is gone, focus on your daily routine.
- See if there are any local NGOs where you can be a volunteer
- Invest time in your skills based on your preference and past experience.

All the best and things will change for sure.

Everyone here is talking content, and I don't think that's the issue. We are awash in a glut of unlimited great content available to stream now.

The problem is ads. The advertisement model is stuck in the 20th century idea of "heres a block of obnoxious crap for you to mute for the next five minutes". And the monetization drags because of it. Great ads can be great. A differentiating feature for your platform. An integral part of your brand and identity. But instead it's just nonsequitor, non-contextual garbage.
