Ok, so some of them are also auth-right.

One might argue further that the political compass is not topologically flat, and that at the extremes right-authoritarianism and right-libertarianism are the same ideology. After all, what's the difference between today's brutally authoritarian regimes and a large corporation that owns monopolies on everything? It's all abusable power.

I also object to discussing this in terms of "genetic lineage". Humans are mesaoptimizers, none of our intelligence gives a shit about what evolution gives a shit about. Social justice was something that the economic elites were able to appropriate, Rebel Sell style, because nothing about capitalism forbids irony. However, there is nothing left-wing at Davos. They have no intent on actually bringing social justice about when it contradicts the moral foundations of their ownership. So their support boils down to "black lesbian dollars are still green" and rainbow logos, and not "let's stop destroying the world and impoverishing people for profit".
I'm curious what the logistics of AI on an aircraft looks like. Do they run the GPUs/etc. onboard adding weight and power consumption (is that an issue?), or stream the instructions to the craft (making it vulnerable to jamming and delays)?
Seen a different way, we pay for goods with two currencies: money and time. If the dollar price is artificially low, the time to acquire the good increases to compensate.

Not true: insulin is not a drug whose price is being negotiated here (https://www.jmcp.org/doi/full/10.18553/jmcp.2023.29.3.229). The drugs whose prices are being negotiated are the brand new ones, the ones that took billions of dollars to develop. Without the promise of a payoff, future R&D will be halted, and humanity won't get benefit from the new medicines.
You can custom-build Debian packages in the same way. Rarely does anyone actually do it because it rarely actually matters.
My dad is overweight but genuinely believes/d himself the ideal weight. I went over the chart with him and still he's eating over 2000 cals a day.

I asked him how many calories he thought someone needs for a day and he said 6000.... and he calls himself a "foodie", refusing to wat "mass produced junk" and believss he "knows shit". So someone who supposedly has an interest in food is that misinformed and negligent .. let that sink in.

Qatar has no groundwater or surface water anymore AIUI. But they have an incredible oversupply of natural gas that they can’t build enough export capacity for. So it mashes sense to use the gas they can’t export to desalinate water, and they do.

Well that’s not a MailChimp alternative my friend. That’s a wrapper around SNS, there’s a reason those of us in marketing wouldn’t accept this.

I don’t even like MailChimp but there’s a real reason to use an app like them/similar. They help you not screw up "all of that" is complicated.

I am most sad about libressl, which is highly compatible with openssl yet profoundly better.

Portable version exists and the Linux world should have replaced openssl by now, but for unknown reasons this is yet to happen.

I am hopeful someday one of the larger distributions such as Debian will have the courage to step forward.

When discussing compiler speed, Go specifically prioritizes compilation speed over optimization of the resulting code.

Swift and Rust both suffer from slower compilation than Go, primarily because LLVM prioritizes optimization over speed.

There are of course other reasons like complexity of language, size of compilation units etc… but optimization tends to be the biggest hit in my experience.

Hence why Rust is adopting/investigating cranelift as a debug compiler to improve speed.
I'm using F# via the .NET SDK on macOS (i.e. I could also use C#), so it seems to have less platform lock-in than Swift at this point. It does have its limitations, for instance I can't for the life of me figure out how to make the F# REPL UTF8-capable. As ludicrous as that is, it's not really my use case, so I can live with that for now.
> The UK's Conservative party misled the public about the EU to get the Brexit vote.

Saying nothing about your wider point, the Conservative Government was pro-Remain - all the major parties were. There were two Leave campaign groups, and many individual Conservative MPs signed on for them. Official policy was pro-Leave but to let everyone campaign as they saw fit.
Just ban fossil fuel extraction. Then fossil fuels will become too expensive to burn. That is a much more "free market" solution than a byzantine system of taxes that will probably fail to adequately model all externalities.
Another problem is the sun is significantly brighter now than it was during the Paleozoic era.

> any build-flow that involves apt-upgrading or apt-installing packages (yes, even Docker builds) has no guarantee that you'll get an equivalent result if you rerun it 3 months later.

You can ask `apt` to install specific versions of packages. You do have to provide a repository that contains old versions though, e.g. Debian's snapshot archive: https://snapshot.debian.org/
So they mark how much employee insurance is costing them, do they also breakdown their profit? Since business like restaurants often price based on a margin doesn't inflation sometimes increase profits?

I also don't understand protesting inflation a global phenomenon (in varying amounts) that is difficult to solve.
Brexit is only the last few years, whereas this has been an ongoing situation for decades. Brexit probably hasn't helped but didn't cause it either.

I can't view the video, but honestly I think characterising millions of Brits as "broke" is probably misleading. I grew up (and still know many people) in this part of our society.

Broke in the UK doesn't mean the same thing as broke in the USA or most of the world. Broke here typically means: although you may not work or have any money left at the end of the week, you still have food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, education, kids, a bank account, a car, etc. You can exist in this twilight state for your whole life, having never had a job from leaving school all through to retirement. If you do have a job, it's probably informal or low skill work, possibly under the table. It's not an enjoyable life, but it's comfortable enough that, for many people I know, they don't have any real motivation to change it. Certainly not enough motivation to get an education, move to a city and get a 9-5 or start a business.

Some demographics of the UK native population have worse life outcomes than first and second generation migrants from poor countries. As someone who has managed to break out of that demographic, there's a real crabs in a bucket mentality. I was discouraged from following the path of education and a white collar career, because, as poor working class folk, our mortal enemy was The Manager. Now that I have joined the ranks of The Managers, I am now the enemy.

Yepp, we once spent about 1.5 hours in a meeting walking the org chart of such a company to figure out which 4 emails to 4 people (plus copious amounts of CCs just to add to the "urgency" and inbox bloat) I had to write to unblock the project after 2 or 3 unproductive weekly meetings. And I did that as an external supplier, I would have thought it was in their best interested to just collect what we need and get the ball rolling internally. After all, they are paying us to deliver something.

Well, for one, they're 51% of the world's population. We also have studies that demonstrate positive influence in more gender-equal workplaces. "The lowest overall occurrence of psychological distress as well as same occurrence for women and men was found on the most gender equal workplaces." [1]

It's a subjective issue, but sometimes the end results can be better even if the experience of getting there is not as nice as a simpler language that is more bug-prone. Consider Rust, which is notoriously difficult to learn, but that offers improved end results in many cases re: security, safety, reliability.
Devils advocate here: if you created a database user, which has access to a single View of with email, name, and whatever relevant subscription properties, how is that functionally different than what everyone does today which is to set up some Rube Goldberg contraption to pipe that audience information to mailchimp, sendgrid, or exacttarget?

Personally, I find this really intriguing and think it would be much better for data security because it would be far less likely that they will have my customers’ email addresses lying around their database months or years after I cancelled the service.
According to the article, the scheme depends on this seekrit algorithm for picking all the combinations, called "combinatorial condensation".

That term links to an article in Romanian, which I can't read. But honestly, why's it supposed to be hard to list all possible combinations of 6 of the first 50 integers? Isn't that the same as listing all 6-digit integers in base 50?

[Edit] ...Yeah, you also have to filter-out all those integers with repeated digits, but that hardly needs a super-seekrit algorithm.
Question: why is desalinated water costs calculated based on as if the water was immediately thrown back into the ocean? Wouldn't it rather be recycled after once desalinated?
Yeah, even Habeck, the Green Party guy who became Germany's Economic Minister, realised when Putin started the war, that the "simple, just go without Russian the gas" would've been catastrophic, their industry and economy depended so much on that gas, that mass unemployment would've destabilised the country, and maybe continent. Luckily he wasn't a dumb extremist, and despite his party affiliation he was working on solutions to keep the gas flowing.
I would say packages mostly work well and are not as bad as you make them sound. Yes, after upgrading the OS release you need to run "pkg_add -u" to upgrade all your installed packages. This is normally pretty easy.

There are a few potential "gotchas" and changing your login shell (or especially root's login shell) or any other defaults in the login or other base configurations are things that you learn to to do very deliberately after getting burned a few times.
My BIL used to work CP with the DHS, a tech going in heavy with the first wave to secure devices.

I asked him if he had ever run into Tor exits, he said no, but they did sometimes run into people with unsecured wireless that had been used by third parties and once it was clear that was what happened it was pretty much dropped. I'm sure they would have ways to deal with people leaving their WiFi open as a way of camouflaging their activities...

He also said that one thing they're usually do if there are multiple people in the house is sit them all down on the couch and say "We are here because someone has been downloading CP", and often everyone would turn and look at one person.

"Federal executive branch agencies must ensure their non-.gov or .mil domains are on the list."

Also on this page, there is an "out of scope" list which only includes 4 things: SaaS, cloud resources, SNS sites, and code repos. I take the govt at its word--it has never lied before--so naturally covert ops must be "in-scope".
Projects like this (there’s also a Python variation) are the best examples of the difference in expressiveness.
And Rivos.
Romania has high levels of corruption, but when we entered the EU we had high levels of overt corruption.

I'll never forget during the presidential elections of early 2010s (or around that time) (we joined EU in 2007) when a member of the loosing party (which would then become our prime minister), Victor Ponta, stated frankly, in an interview, that they lost because his party stole fewer votes (bribing the poor with meager amounts of household products to vote for them, which is a favorite campaign activity around here).

However to combat this prolific corruption (in part because of EU mandate), around the same time, our winning president instated the National Anticorruption Directorate (DNA in Romanian) which is a "taskforce" of judges and lawyers investigating these highly profilic cases.

It became moderately successful (there's always room for improvement). The EU took note, and brought in members of the directorate to instate a similar structure centrally as an EU institution (for cross border corruption cases), and afaik the process has been set in motion to instate the same directorare in Bulgaria (under the guide of a certain prosecution attorney that lead this directorare in Romania, Laura Codruta Kovesi).
And if we do nothing there's a significant and rising chance that more than 99% of the world population will starve to death.

I'm not saying that you're advocating doing nothing, nor am I supporting totalitarian/fascism. Just that at some point there will be decisions forced upon people; to choose who will live.

Maybe that's part of the general apathy? Do people subconsciously think that they'll be saved and those "others" will be sacrificed?
Any estimate for how long it would take to fine tune against a given volume of data?
Here’s a simple metaphor to illustrate the difference, if we’re going to argue the meaning of terms of art by their dictionary definitions.

When Sully Sullenberger pulled off the Miracle on the Hudson, that was an emergency use of the airplane’s water landing capability.

It wasn’t experimental. Airbus designed a “ditching” button for the A320, they knew more or less what it would do, and the regulators (here the FAA) agreed that having such a capability was less risky than not having it, even if it wasn’t vetted and maintained at the same level of rigor as, e.g., the landing gear.

Therefore something can be “emergency use” without being “experimental”, even if we stick to the simple common meaning of both terms.
Even then there were lots of apps out there which provided maps offline before Google maps was even an idea.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Streets_%26_Trips

https://winworldpc.com/product/softkey-key-master-maps/10

And then that's also completely ignoring the hundreds of portable GPS devices sold before Google Maps was a thing which had offline road databases.

I can navigate anonymously without cell signal easily. My car has a GPS in the dashboard which, at least for the maps and routing, doesn't go online at all.
Have you seen the state of the root ca bundle? As far as I can tell it has every national CA except the US.

Do you really trust the turkish government with the ability to sign for any domain.

Some days I consider tearing out the whole thing and rebuilding with the 3 CA's I actually care about. but then I usually give up as too much hassle.
Thanks for linking your app! While I'd love to try it, there's unfortunately an issue - it requires iOS 16.4 or later. I understand that this is a really minor/insignificant thing for 99%+ of users, but as someone on iOS 14/15 (iPad/phone), I can't use it :( Are there any iOS 16 specific APIs used, and/or does Apple prevent targeting older versions of iOS?

Btw I'd also recommend looking at Soul & Kiwi browser for android if anyone's interested, they're great too.
At various times, I have run a Tor relay node on a spare VPS. I think I stopped in the end because my available bandwidth was pretty below par, and I suspected I wasn't helping the network very much.

It's interesting that I just watched a video[0][1] on Nickel-Hydrogen batteries for grid storage; there are nickel deposits in Japan, so if they really are viable, Japan would not be dependent on anyone for grid storage.

Incidentally, I can't see how being dependent on the US is such an issue for Japan. They are completely and utterly dependent on the US for their national security, without any remaining meaningful popular movement to divorce themselves thereof. The Japanese Socialist party had some language about getting rid of the Anpo treaty, but hilariously, they backed out immediately when they came into power; the Japaense journalist / commentator Akira Ikegami wrote a (Japanese language) book [2] about this era that I thought was pretty enlightening.

How about we dictate a price on whatever industry you happen to be in? Maybe your product cost billions of dollars to develop, but how about we force you to sell it to everyone for peanuts?

There is no logical reason that pharma should be on the receiving end of all this hate. Especially considering that their job is literally to save lives.
I am speaking philosophically, not with respect to a particular issue.
Not necessarily. Making that statement, setting up in a country that has enough issues to make it plausible, and then not paying the bribe would also make a lot of sense. See also: no log VPNs that actually were logging.

Worst case scenario they shut down, collaborate fully with the police and keep all the profits up til then. Better case scenario they make a deal with the police and keep operating and making profits while covertly providing assistance. Best case scenario the issue never comes up and they make all the profits without having to spend those expenses.

My impression is that in this kind of shady web hosting the companies never last that long so you wouldn't want to invest a lot in bribes and multiple data centers and so on when you could lie and make short term profit.

Note also that corruption isn't a boolean flag. First off the cop make take the exact same strategy: take your money, do nothing else, and hope their boss never gets interested in you while planning not to protect you if anything comes up. Furthermore there are all sorts of anticorruption efforts in that area linked to US aid. That doesn't mean there isn't corruption, it does mean that if a major US corp works with the FBI in a major investigation the local police may rather piss you off than lose critical aid funding.
Do you only perceive the world through a dichotomies lense?

That's foolish beyond measure.
I read this a while ago. I don't know if it's because I've never been to disney world or know enough about it, but I didn't really "get" the book. Some of the concepts were interesting like dead heading and backing up but not really things I haven't read by other authors of the same decade. Although, maybe some of these ideas stem from this book so not sure. But overall I found it hard to follow, mostly because i didn't understand the importance of the various venues or why the various characters were in that particular location in the first place.

I think the point was more about the kind of social credit system, in that sense it seemed not to be able to decide if it was depicting a utopia or dystopia. But please tell me if I'm way off, interested in hearing what people felt about this book.
> How about we dictate a price on whatever industry you happen to be in? Maybe your product cost billions of dollars to develop, but how about we force you to sell it to everyone for peanuts?

If I work in an industry where human life depends on it, yes! I entirely agree. This is not a market to corner, regardless of your innovation and how clever you are.

> Especially considering that their job is literally to save lives.

Positive contributions must not lead to “these people can hold those who have medical needs economically hostage.” Don’t like the deal, get out of pharma and let other people (operating under a different ideology on the topic) build.

> Today, 1 in 4 Americans cannot afford to take their medications as prescribed. Too many seniors are having to ration their treatments to get by until their next social security check arrives. And contrary to what industry lobbyists argue, soaring drug prices are not the inevitable result of research and development costs to bring breakthrough drugs to market. It’s time to put this widely debunked excuse to bed.
