They're making lots of noises about how this change wasn't actually to raise rates. Instead, the claim is that it was to "make the bond market work better".

That's sort of hilarious, because the way that it "makes the bond market work better" is by making 10-year debt more attractive relative to other bond durations...by raising rates.

Japan's government works this way on lots of major decisions. They telegraph the change waaaaaaaay in advance via subtle (but consistent) indirect language, then make a small version of the change while denying the importance of the change, then continue making more change by using the prior change to justify the new change. They love continuity.

This isn't a threat to civilization. Civilization already has the tools to solve this problem. They're ancient, and (for better or worse) they're re-emerging all around us: tribalism, aristocracy, credentialism, reputation. A hundred variations of "Trust is earned; suspect strangers."

The threat here is to the philosophical conceit that you can trust strangers -- not via a network where people vouch for each other, but just by averaging large numbers of them. Democracy makes good things happen. It's a beautiful idea, the philosophical gem of the last two or three centuries, and it works well in some contexts, and certainly is better than what it replaced... but its success has resulted in overapplication. It certainly can't withstand an army of malicious bots.

I have enjoyed the fact that the absolute political freedom of internet communities has allowed for myriad experiments in government on the sort of timescale that allows for lessons and improvement. The core conceit that people, in large numbers, are basically good and wise was the core philosophy that ruled the internet of ten or twenty or thirty years ago, with its open networks and upvotes. But it seems to me that we have all collectively been coming around to the fact that moderation, and reputation, and credentials, and curation, all have some serious up sides. Tyranny is certainly a problem, but maybe kings and aristocrats aren't all bad.

The bots are really only a threat to communities that haven't figured out yet that there is a balance here, a give and take between the individual and society. That zero contribution should equal zero power, that a high degree of influence ought only be achievable by long and faithful service, that trust is something real people have in each other and that proxies for it can always be gamed, that social status serves a very real and useful function, and that destructive behavior should be met with extreme prejudice... but at the same time, that outsiders can sometimes say very important things.
Maybe farting isn't on your list. Maybe it's on somebody else's list.

That's a key problem here. People don't agree on what's acceptable and what the proper criteria for forgiveness is.

If somebody did one of your more unambiguous transgressions, like assault (proven to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt, i hope?), but reformed themselves, how do you know and who decided that? Maybe they did it because of a drug habit, mental illness, some other extreme condition that they've now worked past. Maybe they really don't want to do it again, and would not.

These are the types of problems that can arise when you split the world between good and bad people. Not everyone who does something you disapprove of is irredeemable.

> I am not sure where you live but in the US we don't buy property by a square foot, we buy lots. You cannot really buy a house on a lot of land and strike out a car-sized portion of driveway for a discount.

Here in the U.S. the lots are sized with the assumption that a large fraction of the space will be used for a driveway and parking spaces or garages and that often is required by zoning codes (the term is “parking minimum”). That means that the decision to focus modern life around car travel instead of other means is implicitly increasing those costs because your house, employer, most businesses, etc. involve extra land purchased to store cars for the ~90-95% of the day where they're idle.

In my neighborhood, that often means roughly half of the total lot size. A transit-oriented design could have significantly more homes available at lower cost since the land is worth more than the structure here.

> I live in a city and would not get any discount on my property if I decided to park on the street (also free) instead of parking off street.

Yes. This is the city subsidizing private car owners — it comes out of your taxes, you just don't get an itemized bill or an explanation of the amenities you're not getting because the space and budget are being devoted to car storage.

If you travel around the country, notice how many cities have narrow sidewalks crowded with people while at most half as many people drive by — that's because the decision was made (probably in the 1950s) that the highest status people would be driving and so things like sidewalks were allocated the space which remains after putting in a wide road and street parking.

It's bad for business but we're so used to it we don't even see the other potential uses of that space and money. It took those pandemic closures to get a lot people to reconsider land allocation in cities and it's generally lead to upticks in sales for adjacent business every time space devoted to cars has been reduced because most of those people driving by never stop on their commute home.

Define doomed by gender ratio?

I'm queer, and I think it's more about straight men and women dating differently... or just something inate in guys because I consistently have zero issues finding a short term partner on the male side, but struggle to have a conversation I don't want to exit with women due to the insane level of entitlement they give off.

It could be worse to have like 1k "hey"s, but if you're a guy who only wants connected with women, at least in my experience you seem to get matched with only one person at a time, and they're always some rude little shit from the CIA, KGB, or an obscure government lab and aggrieved that their profile's open predilection for drugs and dance are at odds with a security clearance. (Uhn tiss uhn tiss is a privilege ladies. If you're literally a fed, you're unwelcome.)

For me, it's been the above... or divorced people with kids who don't know what "childfree" means and act aggrieved that my profile was 100% open and accurate, but I guess that's how you end up in an unhappy marriage saddled with kids when you absolutely knew what contraception during the time you were obtaining multiple STEM degrees.

(Sorry to rant, but it's hard, in a different way for guys, even if you try to be nice -- apparently any time we rant we come off like some kind of future incel shooter, but the last person who told me that was how I come off was a communist who was angry her third tier JD wasn't getting her into prestigious nonprofits just because she, like half of the folks in that space, was queer and frankly a bit of a fragile narcissist if she didn't pair lack of a T14 with some publications like the other folks I know who overcame school rank.)

Anyways, maybe try a different network if too many likes are the issue, because guys are on their mostly for short term so... the odds are good but the goods are odd, as they say.

(Or just go to a bar, apps are overrated, but then again so is alcohol... I quit drinking, which is how I got to the point I could think about who I want to date rather than pine for a match -- looks matter lol.)

Anyways... happy hunting. Looking forward to the comments section on this one!

> There is a lot that music fans can do to help the musicians they love, and it starts with understanding the musician's fight.

For my part here, I go to (a lot) of local shows, and buy their merch/vinyl/tapes whatever. I tell everyone I know about them, and urge them to go along too (they mostly don't, but it's always worth a try).

I've read both those articles, they're quite well-known, and I'm sure they were on the money at the time. However, the fact remains, that playing gigs is the way. It doesn't guarantee success, a significant part of it is luck. But if you can't pull a crowd, you're not going to get anywhere.

This is somewhat orthogonal to exploitative music contracts - which perhaps have got a little better? Those articles are 22 and 29 years old, surely things have changed in the interim.

Of the local musicians I know, only a handful are professional. And they play in covers bands mostly. However, those that have made it overseas (Aldous Harding and Marlon Williams) are doing great. I don't think they're trapped in unfair record deals, but I suppose I could be wrong. They both got there playing shows, not by putting links on twitter and complaining that nobody listened to their music.

Sorry, but if you can't fill local venues, what chance do you stand internationally?

Central banks want to cause inflation when they believe unemployment is eminent. Inflation allows companies to effectively cut everyone's wages by x% instead of firing x% of workers. So the question is 1. are they right that there would be large scale layoffs absent the inflation? and 2. Is it better for everyone to get a pay cut or some people to get laid off?

Tracker music definitely had its day in computer games, and around the same time a lot of sample-based music was happening on video game consoles. There was just a pretty short amount of time for software or hardware sampling to shine before games started being shipped on CDs with more than enough room for full orchestral recordings and whatnot. I still notice tracker music in indie games every once in a while, and one of the bigger sound middlewares in games today had its origins there:

> […] The market for peripherals and the like wasn't exactly open and there were all sorts of weird servicing deals. With beige boxes we didn't even need a formal procurement process for peripherals like keyboards and the like

Yes, this is true enough as the situation was incomparably better with commodity PC's, with upgrade components and peripherals.

But to be fair, any branded PC was exactly the same, e.g. memory sticks they required were not compatible with the affordable or reasonably priced commodity ones (sometimes even across different models from the same PC vendor), expansion cards (even if made by a third party) also had to come from the same vendor etc, and everything that was branded came with an exorbitantly priced component price list. Compaq was notorious (and nearly universally hated) for requiring special SIMM's that could only work in Compaq PC's and only in a specific model. Procurement loathed those. IBM, HP and Dell were just the same. Then, there was RAMBUS trying to corner and lock everyone into their über-expensive memory chips and stuff (which, luckily, faltered and the company went bust). Again, I am talking about the desktop PC's not the servers.

The situation only changed after the market got flooded with cheap Taiwanese made PC's that could be easily and cheaply upgraded, so the big brands feeling the market force and pressure had no choice, eventually budged and stopped adding proprietory control pins to their memory sticks and stuff.
This seems more like a disagreement about the basic meanings of words, not anything about worldview. In what way is this Hooters employment issue at all similar to this naked yoga issue?
For most practical purposes, updating certificates is not a problem. Apps can package their own certificate authorities no problem and there is a separate, opt-in user key store to import new certificate authorities.

These new authorities only work in apps that opted in, such as browsers, to prevent malicious stalkerware from intercepting traffic. That can pose a problem, but again, apps can package their CA of choice and use certificate pinning to make their devices more secure in the process. Every big app I've tried to introspect has implemented some kind of certificate pinning already.

Disabling certificate authorities has been part of Android since at least Android 4 (maybe Android 3 but practically nobody used that). Disabling certificate authorities applies across all apps that use the default validation mechanism; only adding new certificates has restrictions.

In practice, this means that there are very few apps that actually have a problem with adding new certificate authorities. Google could, in theory, leverage their system level access to disable pre-packaged certificate authorities as well, though I'm not sure if they ever have.

The only apps I've seen problems with were apps for self-hosted services that didn't include the user store opt-in, but for most users it's not much of a problem if you just install the CA manually. Last time this happened, news websites were all over the internet linking to instructions on how to install the Let's Encrypt CA and I bet it'll happen again when the next major CA expires/rolls over. Android 11 made the process of installing CAs quite a bit harder, but it's still possible without any special tools or software.

In practice, by the time this becomes an issue, only old devices with a comparatively small user base are affected if they're affected at all.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely approve of the change, but I can definitely see why Google hasn't bothered with this while there are so many other areas where Android can use some more fixing up.
