Count towards what? The article refers to the "long peace" since WW2 which included the Cold War. This is a well known concept, there's lots of evidence to support it being real, it's a central concept in the field of international relations, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Peace

Vietnam doesn't invalidate the long peace, no. At least I'm not aware of any academic arguments to that effect, they may exist, I haven't studied this stuff since college.

>when all they did is provide the platform, and store the data.

Is there not significant innovation and benefit that was designed and implemented in the first place that caused users to contribute their time, thought and energy?

I think the real problem here is when organizations that rely on a crowd-sourced business models decide they just have to be billionaires or solve all the worlds problems with their platforms, instead of just staying true to their model. I don't see what's wrong with just running a highly successful business that makes money for it's founders and doesn't have to go out and strive every day to be the next Facebook or Google.

Make no mistake. Platforms like Reddit and Stackoverflow are real, serious businesses. But why can't they exist and be a general successful business like your local mom and pop restaurant or toy store or whatever?

I run RadioReference.com and Broadcastify, both which are significant businesses but also rely almost solely on crowd sourced data and content. We're wildly successful - but I've never seen the need to hire 3,000 people, or IPO, or do series raises to expand into solving world peace. Our premium subscription pricing has been the same for 15 years. I completely eliminated advertising on one of the platforms last year. We make a lot of money. We provide a lot of value to our communities, and we carefully innovate and expand to provide value. It's a nice happy life for everyone involved, and I don't have to deal with a VC who will be determined to either make a trillion dollars or torpedo my business.

A lot of that has to do with pure NIMBYism and regulatory capture, and the bulk of the cost overruns are just contractors extracting what they can. Environmentalists are a useful weapon for them, and someone to conveniently blame. If you got rid of those laws it wouldn't get significantly cheaper.
From where I sit, needing the in-person face-to-face as your social activity for the day is a symptom of something that widespread remote work should at least help to fix: the splintering and atomization of communities that once existed outside of the workplace.

Once upon a time, it was considered the norm to find a job where you were, because you lived in a community that was part of your support system. Over the course of the last century, this norm eroded and was replaced with the norm of moving to wherever you got a job. More recently, the situation deteriorated even further, with the disappearance of the "job for life" assumptions that were prevalent in the mid-to-late 20th century, in favor of an expectation of changing jobs every 2-5 years—with a high chance every single time that you'd have to move.

One inevitable result of all this is the aforementioned splintering of local communities. Changing the employment norms so that a much higher percentage of people never need to move to work in person at a job would make it much easier to begin to restore local communities, and provide a much better chance of good socialization outside of work.

Now, there are caveats. This still relies on people not working too many hours, and while it would still help for the people who do work in person, and move in order to do so (those communities existing and being more prominent, and sustained by the people who stick around, makes it much easier for others to find them, too, even if they'll have to keep finding new ones every few years), it doesn't help them quite as much as the ones who can stay and grow their place in the community over many years.

My idea regarding the milk was automatic fulfilment and automatability of it, not via a public commodities exchange for 100000 litres but through an app, that a regular person could use to automate their groceries.

Uber, Uber Eats, Just Eat, Door Dash, Amazon are all separate incompatible applications.

The idea is for people to register their wants and get what they want (through others deciding differently). Who doesn't want what they want?

A carbon tax could be imposed on companies selling products made using manufacturing processes that result in emitting CO2, regardless of where it's manufactured

e.g. American company C developed Phone P, sent it to china for cheap manufacturing costs, and sells ot to US people. C should pay a carbon tax to be allowed to sell that device.

Whether the company will pass that tax on the consumer or not or irrelevant.

Ask HN: How do you debug React websites?
How do you do it? I find it to be a very frustrating experience.

- The stack trace in the debugger most of the time gives no useful information.

- Stepping in the debugger rarely gives any errors (except for basic JavaScript errors) and the React errors appears afterwards in the console.

- Setting breakpoints at and stepping into JSX components rarely works.

- Sometimes you get the "Rendered fewer hooks than expected"-thing and the message gives absolutely no useful information at all and the line mentioned in the message is often completely wrong.

Am I missing something? The current strategy is just to stare at the code and print lots of information to the console.

Corrupt relative to democracies, or really just most other countries in the world.

And historically the Russian/Soviet army has always underperformed for its size, their notable successes have generally been due to being able to crush their opponent in sheer mass of conscripted bodies. Cases where having a lot of people don't help, like ships and aircraft, often end in embarrassing defeats against far smaller foes. A good case study here is the Battle of Tsushima.
That's effectively how bankruptcy works but with more paperwork. You take assets (whether it's the deeds to the equipment or ownership of the whole company via stock) and you give the value of that (in the form of money or assets) to the claimants.

Either way it's a transfer of wealth from the current business owners (stockholders) to claimants, just a matter of how that transfer happens.
I think this idea is essentially an example of a "gravitational slingshot".

I found it interesting that such a system could be used to "accelerate delicate and fragile objects to a velocity of 2000 km/sec at an acceleration of 10,000 g, without doing any damage to the objects. ... So a large space ship with human passengers and normal mechanical construction could easily survive the 10,000 g acceleration." This seems counterintuitive, but since the object is in freefall the entire time, I guess it makes sense.

40K Americans were able to beat the greatest empire at the time.

In the last few decades, a rag-tag group of goat herders and farmers managed to kick out multiple empires using only basic fighting equipment. This is all despite having air supremacy, satellite imagery, night vision, tanks, body armor, and a 10:1 ratio of troops.

The overwhelming majority of experienced combat veterans have been out of the US military for almost a decade. You can see this reflected it in how ineffective the current organization is.

If tyranny does strike the US again, I wouldn't want to be on the side of the tyrants.
> The protest really does seem to me like a "cut my nose off to spite my face" protest.

It's a bit of both - reddit exists and is profitable because of user engagement/activity.

Reddit is shutting down primary way many (most?) user prefer to access it.

The symbolism of making communities dark isn't just to hurt Reddit; it's also to forshadow the state of the apparent NewWorld reddit is ushering in.
I did the same, and reddit actually chain banned ("suspended" as they call it) the remainder of my accounts and started banning any account as I made it, until I made sure to wipe their tracking cookies & switch to a new IP.
> Microsoft sells DDoS protection as part of Front Door

They got in via a Back Door.

A lot of places sell DDoS protection. Most of it only ever cover the basics. With the size of botnets, hacked computers, etc that are easily and cheaply available for rent - a lot of so called DDoS protection services can't compete.

You really need to dig deep into what they mean by DDoS protection.

What layers are covered? What type of services are covered?

Also e.g. when they mention they cover volumetric attacks, it's often marketing more than the real deal.

E.g. a provider sells $x of total protection (that number means across all PoPs, so usually $x / 30 or less). It can still go down if you focus all your attacks on a few PoPs that matter.

A recording involves third-parties, otherwise you wouldn't need a recording. As we can see now, everyone, even fourth and tenth parties can listen to this recording by going to a website. You can even say that Steve didn't give in to blackmail tactics, and Christian then killed the hostage (published the recording). I don't see much of a motive here for Christian except for revenge of some form (probably for taking away a lucrative income stream).

What is legal or not has not much to do with what is morally right or not, as the law is supposed to be objective, and morals are always subjective. In my book, publishing an unauthorised recording like that touches rock bottom morally.

My wife worked for several years for a company with only about a half-dozen employees. It was full remote.

She left there in 2011, after rising through the ranks to the level of division director.

They did almost all their business over email and Skype, because at the time, Skype was still the best voice/video conferencing software available without dedicated hardware.

If it was possible then for a small group of non-tech-focused people, it's certainly possible now, over a decade later and with an entire pandemic forcing the rapid improvement of all sorts of remote-work technology. That doesn't mean it's for everyone, but boldly stating that it's a "non-starter" is just unsupportable.
Not sure I agree. Apollo is apparently monetizing these users above and beyond what Reddit is/was able to accomplish. I’m confident that this represents value to Reddit > 0. So Reddit may have leverage, but not all the leverage.

It's not a cop-out: there are fundamental qualitative differences between a near-pear conflict, which demands restructuring of a nation's economic activity around supporting the fight, versus the kinds of conflicts the US was involved in post-WWII, where the costs aren't that much different than the steady-state maintenance of our armed forces.

I for one find it sympathetic that they are trying to appeal to schoolchildren (who are supposed to use it) instead of adult tastes. I wonder how much is it based on market motivation? If you want a set of serious looking tomes as a visual thing, there are plenty of options on the market. If you are really serious, you can even re-bind them custom. Which I'd find kind of ridiculous for this set, but I think this is what people do to have a lawyer-style consistent looking library for show. (Of course for some books that are old and breaking apart it's a good option anyway.)

There is some value in having physical references, but for adults I would gravitate toward academic handbooks and such for topics that interest me. Could be ones for freshmen depending on my background, and ones from some years back should be okay for many subjects.
