>When you boil the frog slowly it tends to stay in the pot: that seems like what we're observing at twitter.

This isn't true: according to sources I've read, attempting to slowly boil a frog will result in the frog jumping out of the pot. Frogs aren't that stupid, though humans apparently are.

This analogy is insulting to frogs. We should just change it to "When you boil the human slowly it tends to stay in the pot."
I've always thought of the House of Lords as a descriptive, rather that prescriptive, power structure. You don't intentionally design peerage into a system of government.

Rather, you've just got these people who are, at the time of the government's founding, equally powerful (at least in sum) to the government — thus, peers to the government. These people can do whatever they like; they can even have their own private standing armies et al, because your own standing army — the military — isn't powerful enough yet to prevent that.

Thus, you have to give these powerful people a seat at the table, or they'll challenge the legitimacy of your government (or maybe even just get together to overthrow it.) Maybe that's even what they were just doing, until you got them to calm down and talk to you.

One might say that the whole process of establishing a government out of a feudal or contested state, is the bringing of these "peers" to a common table, convincing them that it's in their best interests to solve their problems with the nascent government using plain in-the-open debate, rather than violence or subtle manipulation.

Whereever the peers meet to have that open debate, then, is a de-facto "House of Lords." It doesn't need any laws about it to make it so. The laws grow up over time to enshrine what would be happening regardless.

And in that light, the way "appointment to" a Westminster-system House of Lords works, makes total sense. The government isn't granting people a seat at the table just because; rather, it's tracing the transfer of political power through dynastic inheritance (and explicitly stamping whoever received it with a heritable noble title, so that there's no argument about who the government thinks received the political power.) This is also why noble titles can be extinguished — if nobody directly inherits a lump of political power, then there should no longer be a seat at the table for "the person who currently holds that lump of political power."

The ideal end to a House of Lords, AFAICT, is that eventually all the noble titles go extinct; all the seats are removed; and the House becomes obsolete. I'm not aware of that having ever happened yet anywhere, but it seems to be the intention from the start of every government.

(The American system, at first glance, is incompatible with this end; but it could in theory have approached it, if the American people had been less fans of federalism, and had instead insisted that their own states revert to territories in exchange for seats allocated in a central parliament. I think this could have even been likely, in an alternate world where any of the colonies went down a monarchic or oligarchic route with their state governments.)

> If I pay a worker to frame up a house it is an expense

If you are getting paid to build the house because you're in the business of building houses, then yes it is an expense. If you're building a house to keep ownership of and rent out, then no, that cost has to be capitalized and depreciated over the expected lifetime of the improvement.

The general question addressed by this law is "should it be allowed to reinvest profits tax-free and delay paying taxes indefinitely?". There are many places in the tax code where this answer is "no" (eg you pay taxes on bank interest yearly, even on a long term CD), and there are many places where this answer is "yes" (retirement accounts, US savings bonds, stock buybacks, 1031 exchange).

It's ridiculous that software development is getting singled out, given that for most business activity the answer is default yes, with only specific list of things that have to be capitalized. I'm just saying the right answer isn't set in stone, apart from of what the tech industry has gotten used to and how effectively abrupt this change was.
I'm with you in that it probably needs more nuance on what exaclty the developpers are doing (TBF I haven't read the details, so maybe there is already a lot of nuance in all of it.)

I kinda see many cases where a salary isn't as clear cut as a simple cost...for instance comparing two cases:

- we buy for a million dollar an exclusive right on an innovative system from a freelance guy that developed it on his own

- we contract for 10k a month the same guy to design and develop the same innovative system, he takes a year or two to develop it.

In one case it's a purchase of an asset, in the other case it's a salary. The resulting asset is the same though.

The standard is express. I say that with some glibness, but its the only true answer: a ton of the other higher level frameworks and pluggable middlewares still rely on the core express Request/Response types. And there are a ton of higher level frameworks, if the number of distinct replies wasn't obvious.

I really like express + routing-controllers [1], if you're on typescript.

The proper personal data hygiene tips are:

0. Never take your primary personal or work cell phone to any demonstration

1. Cover your face, if you can, or wear anti-facial recognition makeup

2. Do not use social media from primary personal devices

3. Anyone intent on trying to join the cause is a cop. Until proven otherwise, anyone you meet is a cop

4. The standard response to any official questions in the future is to deny all allegations, keep quiet, and ask for a lawyer

It's perfectly possible to show ads without collecting data about your users; printed publications have done it for ages. Currently the big players are very heavily pushing for a model with ridiculous levels of user tracking (to the point that many people believe ads and user tracking are inseparably connected), but that doesn't mean it's the only possible model.
Well I mean it's not down, it's just... broken.

I, too, loved Windows 8 and the small Windows tablets from that era. There are dozens of us! It was so cool to have such a tiny device that worked fine as a tablet, then be able to plug a mouse and keyboard and play games on Steam or write music in Ableton or code in the same IDE you'd use at work. Windows 10 was a step backwards in presenting a modern and touch-friendly UI to the user, and Windows 11 is even worse with all the screen real estate wastage from floating menus and rounded corners, plus the useless "recommended" section, ads and widgets.

Since the manufacturers all gave up on the 8" Windows tablet form factor, I think the only path forward is larger but skinnier tablets. Same trend as phones, alas. For a while my main computer was a 10" Lenovo, but now I've bitten the bullet and moved to a 13" Surface Pro. It's a great piece of kit performance-wise and reasonably tough (my screen is smashed up from backpacking/camping, still works) but it still feels less "cool" and cyberpunky than those cheap and cheerful tablets with a full OS on them used to be.
As a non-center-channel-haver, life has been pretty hard.

I'm so excited that this report card will include latency. I've had so many family members ask me why their high download and upload speed connection was "so slow" when their latency to a Google PoP was quite high. Now I can point to that number and tell them "lower is better". Now I just wish they published jitter numbers as well.
> but I play too much obscure, old, heavily modded, or just games that have issues as it is - and don't want to add the OS into the mix.

This is sort of my ballpark. Generally, I play new games on PS5. When I'm playing on the computer it's either something on RetorArch or an older PC game (case in point, I'm currently playing a modded Heroes Of Might and Magic III on Linux).

For older games, I found that it runs as well as on Windows, sometimes better. When I had a Windows machine, quite often I had to tinker with compatibility mode to get shit to run properly, while on Linux I've been having no issues.

You mentioned OldSchool RuneScape, and for that you can just install the Steam version directly. Seems to be fully supported by Proton with no issues [0]

Uprooting your life and moving is a big commitment. If you’re a minority, it’s a lot safer bet that you won’t have issues in a big city than a small town. It’s risk mitigation.

When I say history I don’t mean the history book a generation ago. I mean the news stations, social media, people’s modern lived experience . There’s a lot more people discussing issues with small towns than big cities, especially when accounting for population differences.

Your articles only tell half a story. They show that a chunk of counties have >25% non white. But none have significant Asian populations, nor LGBTQ, etc. “Not blindingly white” isn’t the same as diversity for many people. Will it have restaurants of the cuisine of your home culture? Mosques/temples of your religion, etc. Will gay people be able to find dates? There’s so much more to diversity.
Sorry, but I'm skeptical that you actually run "an entire phone company" in the way that most people understand the term. You mention that you use lots of open-source solutions, and I'm guessing you outsource the build and operation of the network to a real phone company, probably similar to an MVNO. Am I wrong?

Meta is very different from that, they build the products that users interact with, but also build things at the bottom of the tech stack. At their scale, this makes business sense to do so, and comparing your headcount with theirs makes no sense.

I don't really understand why software engineers keep dunking on each other like this. I get that people want to broadcast how smart they are, but in reality we're just giving the general public a warped sense of how much work is actually involved in building large-scale software systems.

Something doesn't sound right about this. On what grounds did they not recognize your cost basis?

Edit: I'm guessing you acquired the crypto through some means that doesn't keep records/report to the IRS. In that case, what choice does the IRS have? You should never purchase an investment without looking toward the tax implications at the end of the year. It sounds harsh, but you should have known that claiming a cost basis you have no proof for would never fly.

As social creatures, humans tend to defer to authority and go with the flow. Both of these make for disastrous outcomes, depending on the authority deferred to and the direction of the flow.

Why did so many turn a blind eye to the Holocaust? Why did so many ignore the Holodomor? Why did no one stand against great evil?

Presently, there is debate about whether there is true Evil, as well as some absolute Truth. And if there's no foundation on which to build a case of "this is evil", then why would anyone act? Couple that with the fact that -- at least in the United States -- it is legal for the government to propagandize (re lie) the American peoples, and you have a perfect storm of stress and lies that leads to "I'm alone and there's nothing I can do in face of all that is terrible".

My realization from that article is that I'm stagnant because I can't be wordy.

It's all very simply for me. Either I know something or I don't. If I know, I tell exactly what I know. If I don't I say "I don't know".

But sometimes it's useful to be like the author, and be able to pull sentences and paragraphs out of nothing. I have coworkers like that, and they sound smart. They frequently get their way because no one sane can listen minutes-long elaborations of the simplest of points. People get bored, and say "yes" just to run away. No one questions these guys, since no one wants to swim in the pool of their rhetoric again.

This is what the author should be teaching about. The article is shit otherwise.
I remember getting together with a high school friend when we were in our 20s and he talked about the massive amounts of pirated software he’d downloaded (over dial-up internet, no less), none of which he’d ever used.

There's a linked tweet to a picture of the inside of the tank, which looks like it's in pretty bad repair. There's rust, dirt on equipment - just evidence in general that basic maintenance is not being done. And, fwiw, the T90A entered service in 2004, so it's maybe a 19 year old tank.

This does not surprise me. Saddens me for sure, but this is all part of his belief that to be tolerant you have to remove all barriers.

So what if people get to continue to show how much hatred they have for people they do not know, nor effect them. It's important apparently to let those people get to show everyone else just how much hatred they can have to others, simply because they're Trans.

This "tolerance" is of course a known paradox. A tolerant society cannot remain tolerant unless it exhibits a certain amount of intolerance over other intolerance.

Musk meanwhile seems to be bound and determined the continue to make Twitter a place, not were people converse, but a town square full of the worst members of society get to have their anger amplified in what will eventually be nothing more than an echo chamber.

Still don't see how this helps bring in advertisers. There's a reason why Parler has been taken down, and Gab, Truth Social and other similar pits of anger do appallingly bad jobs of getting advertising dollars.

Still don't get his endgame - guessing it's because Musk isn't sure, either.

From my perspective in IT, information security is often just an afterthought at large organizations. This is a known problem, and has been for decades.

Even at the big pharamceutical companies you see these issues, often because either they don't hire the right people, or organizational management is so fragmented nothing can ever get done unless it has a clear and present danger and even then rarely.

I knew this guy who was the security guy, where security was his sole responsibility, and when asked why they don't fix a vulnerable DH group configuration on a VPN that a good number of people used (as a review item), the answer was we have a third-party monitoring service for the important stuff.

Seemed completely asnine to me at the time, I'm a generalist , but these things really aren't that complicated. Allowing pre-computation attacks on long-running encrypted connections just seems like a really bad idea.
Logging out makes it work normally for me.

Logging back in breaks it.

There seem to be different kinds of breakage depending on the search. For example if I search for "square roots" it give the top section that suggests other searches, and then a more results thingy at the bottom of the page, which doesn't actually load more results. The count at the top of results appears to be correct though telling me there are 446 million results for my search.

If I search for "battery packs" it looks like all I get are the kind of things that normally go in that strip near the top where it gives shopping suggestions. Instead of just being one row like normal it is row after row of them.
Exactly. It's just a local optimum.
