The motivation matters.

Jazz and Rock was the music of african americans that became mainstream in white america just like rap did later. Punk was a reaction to rock becoming boring and stale. Disco came out from the african-american AND LGBTQ community, and the eventual "disco sucks" mainstream backlash was at least somewhat motivated by racism/homophobia, not anything inherent with disco.

None of these creative outlets were a result of anyone overtly TRYING to offend anyone. That they offended was a side effect of them changing the world, and the mainstream reaction to it, not the core motivation.

Now, I don't want to paint 4chan with one brush. I actually think a significant amount of internet creativity and beautiful creation occurs on it, and they never get enough credit for it. Most legendary memes - offensive or not - originate on 4chan. Internet memes are some of the most unique artistic creations of our generation.

But the parts that people get mad at 4chan for (the homophobic/racist/misogynistic parts) are not that. Those are creations intentionally made to get a reaction: "You tell me I can't say <blank>? Watch me!!"

There is a charitable interpretation of this that they are bucking against censorship and fighting for self-expression on principle. And some may draw comparisons to what they're doing to times in history when "blasphemers" criticized religious dogma. That making a homophobic or racist meme is the modern equivalent of proclaiming "There is no God" 200 years ago.

The difference comes down to the Paradox of Intolerance. Religion and the dominant culture associated with it, actively repressed everyone who didn't match their worldview. People were told you have to believe this in faith and act as if you do, or you will be punished. The modern "dogma" of LGBTQ/race acceptance is instead saying "You CANNOT tell others how to believe and act, and punish them accordingly. You cannot discriminate against those different from you by birth race/gender/sexuality."

It is highly childish to associate all "you cannot do <blank>" guidances as repressive and similar. And I meant that literally. Children can't tell the difference between "No, we can't have desert because i told you so" and "You can't touch the hot stove because it will hurt you".

So, no, THAT side of 4chan is not counterculture. It's at best children trolling on the internet (I know, I was one), and at worst hateful bigots angry that their acceptance is diminishing in the world and lashing out.

It's clearly not.
> Counter-culture is supposed to be [... list of stuff...]

No, it's not. The words explain themselves perfectly fine: an opposing culture.

What you describe boils down to being irrationally angry, stunted in various ways, and generally destructive... It's not a counter-culture but just counter-productive and essentially a defect. If anything, it is devoid of culture.

And just in case someone takes "counter-productive" and tries to argue that being against trying to make everything productive is counter-culture: that's not what I mean and you know it. If you were to find yourself not aligning with anything out in the world and you wish to alter that, there are a whole lot of things you could be doing to get there, but what people do on 4chan gets nobody anywhere, unless the digital version of sniffing glue is considered an alteration of the status-quo.

The entire US healthcare system causes an absolute shitload of shadow work, largely for sick people and their families. It's disgusting.

On top of that, there's a bunch of, IDK, "shadowy" work, where non-healthcare orgs have to spend money to deal with, especially, health insurance. Lots of HR work, extra work for various government employees, all that crap.

What's crazy is that our system's already wildly more expensive than those of our peers, without even accounting for all of that. The whole thing's a huge drag on both human and economic wellbeing in our country.

We went to Disneyland end of 2021 and it was unpleasant. The staff seemed stressed, there always seemed to be one or two people being assholes about their masking rules (they were outside off, inside on at that point), and the usual Disney level of attention to every detail was just not there. We chalked it up to pandemic stress, but also thought maybe new leadership was going in a bad - like some conveniences previously available on the app no longer available as they were about to transition to a version where those services would be paid for or made more expensive. Anyway, my following opinion is based on pre-pandemic Disney.

Disney for me is a little like Apple in that you're handing yourself over to the corporate overlords and are reliant on their benevolence. These companies take some freedom in exchange for a clean and consistent experience. I don't like the surveillance state either, but going to Disneyland with two families was easy because of the app. We pre-booked rides, pre-ordered meals and snacks, kept up with where groups went if there was a ride split. It was easy to give kids some spending money we knew was only going to get spent in either of the parks they had access to. If you go further and pay for the hotels nearby they're even more connected. And it wasn't creepy, because it's why we went. It was what I paid for. That experience you're trying to opt out of is a core part of their product. It's why their movies are on repeat in houses all over. It's why people will hand their kids and their grandparents alike and ipad. There's an expectation around what these companies provide and a certain level of assumed safety.

Now, in Disney's case, since we are paying for it, if we could just get some privacy guarantees when we surrender to their systems I'd love that. I'd even pay extra for it. I'm so ready for people to start selling me privacy tiers. I can pay to get rid of ads, lemme pay to not have my data sold or tracked. I'll vote and harass my reps accordingly, I'll use blockers and unique emails across services, I'll teach my family to do the same, and if I'm at a protest or driving someone to an abortion clinic sure let's talk burner phones and face paint - but I also just don't have it in me to miss out on experiences with friends or family because of my objections.
The whole point of math/rand is that it's not cryptographically secure.

As a corporation why would you co-opt something that the public in general isn't on board for? Ask several people on the street "Should companies be more green?" and they will mostly say yes, as that is a mainstream idea. If you wanted to be counter culture you could start a company that isn't green, "We pollute ten times what our competition does!", lots of people out in the culture would be very upset, they would protest, that's what being counter to the culture is like.

Ah, I understand what you're getting at. True.
Sure. Everything in computing pretty much builds on top of everything else. Wasm is no different and incorporates a lot of the learnings from previous technologies like Java and .NET
> that is dangerous, because you’re likely to overlook some edge case or some unconsidered use case that may come back to bite you later.

I know, and that's exactly why I don't like it. In my experience, lack of understanding bites you way harder than lack of a single fence.

I once worked at a company that had a very complicated patented (!) algorithm to calculate a certain value. Not a single person in the company knew why it was so complicated, and nobody ever questioned it. We would constantly struggle to introduce new rules to it, because they would conflict with the old rules, and it wasn't clear how to resolve those conflicts.

Since we didn't understand what value those magical rules provided, there was absolutely no way we could resolve conflicts in a way that retains the original value (if there was any).

Eventually I was able to convince everyone and just removed all the rules we didn't understand. Everyone sighed with a relief.

In hindsight, I believe the sole reason algorithm was so complicated was that having a patented algorithm would sound more sexy to investors, and you can't patent something stupidly simple.
Show me an interaction between two dolphins and I'll be very unlikely to simulate what they feel/experience.

For an AI, that would probably be the same except we are the dolphins in that case.

Besides, as you hint, you still have to have had an experience of feeling pain before and have a mechanism to avoid it. Which means, having self-preservation encoded within your brain processi.
And if you don't get PTSD from the movie, you won't know what PTSD feels like (let's imagine this is the only way one experiences stress).
There is a need for more correlation processing between sources of data that would be similar to what a living-being

IMO no. Carbon steel pans offer the exact same benefits and are much lighter, easier to handle, and easier to clean.

Still, I even moved away from that. In making a great steak the pan is a factor, but much larger factors are quality of meat and how long you've dried the steak. A great steak dried for 5 days in the fridge is consistently much better for me than the same steak dried only 2-3 days, but seared in a cast iron/carbon steel pan.

If you like 'em, use 'em. But you're not missing anything if you don't use cast irons.
I agree. Maybe it can happen to some extent, but sounds kind of dangerous way to follow. Same as with a law applied to previous crimes.
If companies should pay for what was lawful at the time, how you can be sure something you are doing now won't be declared evil? Meat production, outsourcing to cheaper countries, not sharing natural resource profits on large scale with citizens, like in Norway?

Hundreds of things that are looking sus now. CEO pay, among others. But who would make large effective enteprises in such climate?

If you think he sounds neutral, unaffected, rational, I wonder if it's just that you already agree with him.

> For that reason metal recyclers run routine radiation scans

Just to be clear here .. are you actually claiming that raw iron ore tumbling through a loadout and being density scanned:

* actually contaminates the ore and converts it into the equivilant of radioactive waste?

* that metal recyclers are finding signs of > 800 million tonnes per annum of radiated metals?

* that no one has noticed this and seen fit to write an evironmental study paper about it?

Is there any chance here you conflating actual radioactive metals turning up in recycled metals with what is a long standing global practice that doesn't created dangerous radiatctive iron?
> A business trip required the use of an unfamiliar travel platform, which required time and effort to learn. I scanned my own lunch items into a kiosk at the airport, which asked me if I wanted to leave a tip (to myself?). When the flight was delayed, I sat in a coffee shop where orders had to be placed via an iPad. After 30 minutes of waiting for a latte, I looked around for help but couldn’t find a human being to complain to (the guy next to me claimed to have been waiting 40 minutes). I eventually boarded without coffee or a refund.

This has happened to me on no less than a half dozen occasions. Those airport kiosks are a class action suit waiting to happen, IMO.

> saying the opposite of the complaint, and still lost.

yeah. even if its obvious that the customer made a fraudulent chargeback, you may loose. my only point was that not all chargebacks are lost, it is possible to win a good percentage.

i wish Stripe had an option to auto-block all customers who requested a chargeback from ever purchasing again...

No. We are forced to sign a ton of unfair contracts just for the privilege of working our asses off to make other people rich.

I'm really not a fan of the "download the prebuilt binary from github releases" workflow that's been proliferating along with the popularity of Rust. It seems like a step backward in terms of secure package management, and it's surprising to me that Rust doesn't offer a more out-of-box experience for this, instead encouraging users to build from source. I understand the arguments for this, and I even find some of them convincing - namely, that the inverse problem of opaque intermediate binaries and object files would be much worse as it would cause a cascade of brittle builds and barely any packages would work.

But the fact remains that end users want to download a binary, and the common approach to this is to simply publish them to GitHub actions. Surely Cargo could offer a better option than this, while retaining the ability to build all packages from source (maybe you can only publish binaries to Cargo _in addition_ to the source files... or maybe Cargo.toml could include a link to GitHub releases, and Cargo could include a command for downloading directly from there.)

In the meantime, I've been considering publishing Rust binaries to npm (in addition to GitHub releases). I got the idea from esbuild, which is written in Go but distributed via npm. What do people think of this approach? Here's a recent blog post [0] describing the setup.
