If you focus on Britain only then this was effectively turned around with the Cardwell reform of 1871: https://victorianweb.org/history/armyrefs.html (and you can find examples going back to the 17th century where "commoners" became officers in areas where competence was considered more important than anything else).
As for the rest of Europe, that happened long before WW2 as well. Did you mean to write WW1? Even at that time nobility didn't have much to do with the army in most of Europe.

I agree, AI is like that long flash intro you couldn’t skip in the early website days. Just annoying enough to disrupt any actual commentary (aka true exchange of ideas)
For me this feels spot-on. But I wanted to comment on one thing:

> Fourth, we'll see a resurgence and even fetishization of explicitly "offline" culture, where the "Great Logging Off" becomes literal

I actually think the author undersold this a bit, because even once you've siloed into social buckets with people you already know- as long as it's digital communication, you can't quite be sure it's really them. Even if you're voice-chatting while playing a game together, even if you're video-chatting, we'll reach a point where that could all be faked.

You could rely on cryptography to make sure someone is who they say they are, but that requires extra hoops and a basic understanding of how to use it and what is and isn't trustworthy. Most people probably won't bother

So at some point only physical contact will be fully reliable

Im actually working at a startup that wants to use an algorithm to plan transport on large scale. ( Different Industry though). Got any tips or insights on biggest challenges?

Some countries, including - regrettably - my own are still solidly stuck in the past on this.
You’ve drastically shifted the goal posts from the topic of “are you looking at other companies?” to discrimination. It’s hard to have any meaningful insight with those in the same bucket.

The former is completely standard procedural (do we need to accelerate the process to compete) and competitive (who are we up against).
You can be angry and adapt, they’re not mutually exclusive.
Ah, I see now what you mean by "euphemism treadmill", and I agree that the framework is valid.

If the term has a chance of avoiding the treadmill I suspect it'd be due to the awkwardness of identifying as such. "Vegan" can apply to both food and the people who consume just that food, but I don't see people calling themselves "plant-based" anytime soon. The tribal aspect of the context is potentially greatly diminished by removing that explicit identity.
Self-hosted home network traffic monitoring with ntopng and a Fritz Box
I've always wondered why governments can't run social networks for giving voice/reputation to citizens weighing in on current issues to give rise to a phenomenon similar to the net in the Ender's Game books that gave voice to Ender's siblings. There exists a lot of untapped potential to harness the passion of the armchair pundits but no pressure to mold this passion into grassroot hierarchical influence that could potentially grant political sway for individual's expert opinions. Currently opinionated relatives of holiday dinner & BBQ socials are under little pressure to cultivate their passion beyond a small inner circle of hostages of social etiquette - if only they had an outlet to mold that cunning & passion, to temper it with the satisfaction of having your opinionated views addressed by the big shot president of the times. In the book, these kids are calling shots under pen names. It's fun to think about.
The two letter words and the common q-without-u words are enough to unlock a much more entertaining version of the game than the one you can play with a normal vocabulary.

Since you already know most of them you're only memorizing a few dozen very short words.

Then a few vowel dumps wouldn't hurt, short V/X/K words...
So your biggest challenge was stakeholder management or expectation management at that startup? Did you eventually go to market and succeed?

Ever heard "don't judge a book by its cover"?

Skip Intro has excellent videos all in all. "Copaganda" is his series diving into cop shows (and analyzing them in the context of what is and isn't copaganda). He doesn't claim that a particular show is copaganda just because he's analyzing it.

If you "wouldn't say [the video] is superb" because, instead of watching it, you've looked at the titles of his other videos, I dunno what to tell you.
I think a 3D version of scrabble would be fun, where you build the words using cubes in 3 dimensions instead of two. You could probably even do it non-digitally if you had magnetic cubes
>People will vote it down after they get taken in by the scam, which is too late.

Not too late to create training data by which the social media platform can detect and remove subsequent scams. Especially if they 'report' rather than downvote.

>A million AIs that are indistinguishable from humans but occasionally throw in a comment about how they got sick from Pepsi could make things very profitable for the Coca-Cola company.

How is this different from Coca-Cola paying influencers to post negative stuff about Pepsi?

>Also, upvotes are an imperfect measure of how good the post is and AIs would be able to game the measure.

How is this different from humans gaming the measure?

I don't think the discussion between carefully vetted participants needs to be moderated. We go for moderation too quickly these days. Of course if someone goes crazy they should be banned but in less extreme scenarios a well chosen group should behave, just like it's but necessary to moderate a social gathering in real life.
ok, i assume you just wanted to know about who was behind solana, which is pretty simple. i don’t know about any of those other crypto projects or who is running them now.

If you're familiar with CBT, MBCT may help with the triggers by giving space when they happen [ https://www.goodtherapy.org/learn-about-therapy/types/mindfu... ]
I was lucky that a marriage counsellor was a clinical psychologist who had her own history too. I already knew the root cause but had no way to recognise triggers as they happened. Both some exploration in a safe environment and mbct practice gave me a 'thread back out' when overwhelmed. With time, I've come to be able to analyse the link and 'touch' the trigger's cause to reformulate for myself.
There's a book for clinicians, I found the 1st edition useful, not sure what's changed in the update [ https://www.amazon.com/Mindfulness-Based-Cognitive-Therapy-D... ]

Honestly, I don't know what 'buffalo wings' are, I'm only aware of the phrase from American film.

To use 'chicken drumsticks' then, yes obviously no drumstick, but certainly chicken, as though a drumstick made of chicken instead of wood.

A 'vegetarian drumstick' only tells me it's not made of chicken, and that it's edible, non-wood, I suppose. 'Vegetarian chicken drumstick' is a contradiction.

An equivalent to 'chicken drumstick' would be 'jackfruit drumstick', or whatever it actually is.
Lying about being arrested is a quick way to get fired when the background check comes through. Your antisocial suggestion has now escalated from something you could have preemptively explained into termination of employment. Nicely done.
Like proof of work and proof of stake, I think we’ll see proof-of-humanness in a way that’s far more intrusive and cumbersome than current captchas ever were.

At this time we’re still safe by doing “click the joke that’s actually funny”. Once an AI figures that one out, I imagine we’ll have to prove we are made of meat.
I recently have sold and put up for sale my Raspberry Pis. I kept one for an embedded project, but I am in general tired of their endless availability issues and terrible performance for general computing.

In place of them, I got a barebones Intel Nuc that I populated with some DDR4 and an M.2 NVMe drive I had laying around. The performance from the Core i5 is great and leaps ahead of the most powerful Pis, and the footprint and cost is only a little more than a fully heatsinked and encased Raspberry Pi. My Intel Nuc is running Linux Mint flawlessly so far.
I hate growth stats that ignore the basis.

Vietnam’s largest city locked down for 2 months from Sept to Oct 2021. People weren’t allowed to leave their homes.

The economy shrank by 7% in Q3’21 and the economy as a whole only grew by 2.59% in 2021 when it was 7%+ the year before.

So seeing 8% y-o-y growth is unsurprising when your basis is an incredibly weak prior year.

Almost half of that growth is making up for what was lost in 2021.

I've got my Uber "user rating" reduced more than once after asking a driver to switch their radio from adverts to a station with music. I only asked this after multiple adverts in a row but it seems drivers like their radio stations.

my question was more on how this is tracked/labelled. if something is sold in the UK with the vegan logo, does that mean it is also free from human exploitation?
The community was created in the 70s. Back then it was more political, today it's more practical. The age demographic is more or less flat (0-85) with a dip around late teens (we're in the countryside to most young adults choose to move to the city). We own the property together and cook and eat together five days a week. We have various shared workshops, depending on what the need/desires are at any given time. While we don't farm the land ourselves (not enough land), we try to buy local and organic produce whenever possible.

Cooking for many people, sharing tools, common areas, etc, saves a lot of money and resources. We are thus able to support a wide range of income levels. With the caveat that we're in a fairly equal country (Northern Europe), the community attracts a wide range of backgrounds, from unskilled workers to teachers and doctors. Everyone gets chores and responsibilities assigned based on personal priorities, skills and the needs at the time.

We have a "rule-book" that defines a democratic voting system for making decisions. We hold meetings every other week. I would lie if I said it was always pleasant or easy, but it does work surprisingly well. I think it helps that the place is around 50 years old, so we've had the chance to learn from mistakes and update the "rule-book" along the way.

I don't think it's for everyone, and I'm not sure how well this scales beyond 50-100 people, but I do think that you can be happier, healthier and wealthier living in suitable small-scale communities, sharing everyday tasks and tools. Instead of everyone owning their own everything.

Just saying, what if this was an option in Uber Pool and one of the Uber Pool riders was to be an “Ad buddy” ? The “Ad buddy” gets to ride free and other riders get a discount.

For context, “Ad Buddy” is a fictional creation introduced in Netflix Maniac series. <https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5580146/>

Nonetheless what TFA says is absolutely true about both his original stores, Daunt Books, and Waterstones here in the UK. Waterstones is immeasurably better under his stewardship than it was before. If he’s turned around the biggest bookshop chains in both the UK and the US, he must be doing something right.

Maybe it was just a question, and maybe they were fine with the simple answer.

What if the answer was "I'm gathering data so that I can go back and get congress to close all schools" ?

Not likely to ever be his particular angle, but in fact he is gathering understanding at least in part to inform his policy role, and his being a congressman does make his presense validly noteworthy in a way that his merely being 74 years old or any other property does not.

Maybe it was asked in a challenging disparaging unwelcoming way, but I see nothing in here to lead to that assumption.

lostlogin's explanation of why women really were excluded from the scientific establishment, despite the fact that Jeanne Villepreux-Power had no trouble becoming one of the establishment's most established members, was that her work was good.

If that's what it takes, the implication is that all you're missing when you indulge in exclusionary systems is the bad work. How much of a loss is that?
Buy an e-reader which doesn't require an account, like some Kobo devices (I'm most familiar with the Kobo Aura ONE which is an older device but there must be others). Then buy some books in epub format and strip their DRM, or if that's impossible, buy a copy and then pirate an epub. Then just upload those sweet DRM-free epubs to the device and enjoy your ownership.

I wonder about going the other way, adding more short words that make the game flow better (how about VI? Or just allow any two letter combination?).

My experience having briefly gotten into competitive scrabble 15 years ago is that memorizing the short words is the price of admission for a more fun game. Knowing the short words makes it possible to fit the long words on the board.
that's for a very specific reason: improved accuracy.

Let me explain: measurements were usually taken externally from armpits, using analog mercury thermometers, which results in temperatures lower than the actual one by ~0.5 degrees Celsius.

If you read the instruction manual of modern digital thermometers, that are more accurate, it states that

Oral
Time: ~55 seconds
Typical temperature interval: 35,5~37,5 °C

Anal
Time: ~45 seconds
Typical temperature interval: 36,6~38 °C

Armpit
Time: ~70 seconds
Typical temperature interval: 34,7~37,3 °C

The science has always been sound, even in Italy.

My parents worked in healthcare, I never had the chance to skip school unless the thermometers said > 37.5 °C and after a double check with both palms on my forehead because I warmed it more than once on the radiator.

The problem is Italian paranoid moms, especially from the South, believing in spooky superstitions.

I was a happy paying 1Password customer until they switched to a subscription model (and, when I contacted them, initially lied about it). At that point, I became a happy iCloud Keychain user and never looked back. Most of the essentials, none of the greedy business model.

If 1P returns to allowing me to own their software, rather than requiring me to rent it, I may reconsider. I might not, however, since I've since found I much prefer a password manager that's integrated into the OS, not a third-party one that could change its pricing at any time.

Built-in password managers are only going to get better and better. I think third-party ones will have an increasingly difficult time justifying hundreds of dollars vs. free.

tl;dr Kathy Hochul sabotaged the version of the bill passed by the state legislature so that it requires only what Apple and Samsung are already doing

The version that came out of the legislature would have required OEMs to sell individual components instead of only larger assemblies. For example, if something on a macbook board breaks they have to sell the individual component. Currently Apple/Samsung require you to buy the whole board for several hundred dollars

reading between the lines here it's likely that Hochul was lobbied by the listed OEMs and NY law allows the governor to make sweeping changes to a bill before signing it (for some reason?? doesn't seem very pro-democracy to me). Video title should be "Kathy Hochul Sabotages Right to Repair Bill"

And how much of the revenue generated by that photograph was ever seen by the subject of it?

It's a particularly pertinent example as the model in that photo was actually forced into taking the shot against her will, and had her life subsequently ruined over it, meanwhile further propelling the photographer to riches.

Should we be arguing against the development of cameras to stop this kind of thing from happening?
Also worth mentioning the slightly fuzzier problem that the effects on user satisfaction from latency is not linear. A user that experiences four 125 ms page loads followed by one 500 ms page load is less happy than the user experiencing five 200 ms page loads.

So the user experience of your system is strongly driven by the tails of the latency distribution. Practically all of the useful information is beyond 95 %, not below it.
