> It's somewhat ironic to me that some folks arguing passionately for the openness of the web (something I and many of the proposal contributors are also passionate about) are relying on physical threats and other forms of abuse

For a lot of us here in the US, we claim that we would defend our First Amendment right to free speech with violence if necessary. For some of us, the web is where spend a significant amount of effort exercising that freedom. And I know that there are quite a few of us who have looked at the WEI proposal, and are concerned that our ability to exercise our First Amendment right to free speech on the web could be curtailed should WEI be adopted by major websites.

Given what I know about Americans and our love of free speech and guns, I don't find the threats and abuse that Rick Byers claims to be receiving to be ironic at all.

I figured there was since (e.g.) the numbers looked 'off' (regular TTL vs. negative TTL), but couldn't be arsed to look up the exact SOA format.

I don't follow the conclusion that you're trying to draw. It sounds like you're saying that people do not self-report their own ancestry accurately better than chance.

On the surface of it this sounds absurd, because (unless adopted) people do not determine their ancestry by looking at photos of themselves. I can see getting proximal affiliations wrong, confusing or missidentifying oneself as being half Italian when they're actually half Iberian, or or confusing turkic ancestry with Persian. But I don't think people are going to not know whether they are primarily of say East asian, african, or european ancestry.
> Yeah, they do, because they have to trust the certificates and entitlements that my app is signed with.

That's a 401 vs 403 distinction. They know who you are, they don't know that you're authorized to do this.
It wouldn't surprise me if insurance weasels out of payouts either though which would leave the farmers no way of paying the note.

I've been looking for nearly a year. I've done the same work having services write/rewrite my resume. Having friends, loved ones, colleagues etc review them.

Few bites here and there. Made it to the third interview once. Ive only had 5 or 6 actual interviews. Not including initial contact interviews with recruiters (more like 10-12 of those). It's rough out there.
People outside of tech have really latched onto that $900k figure, but there are two things going on:

1) They are legally required to list the pay range for anyone they could possibly hire. If they are hiring a PM intern in Chicago, they will not be making $900k. If they are hiring a Google Fellow away from Google in San Francisco, then the $900k might be on the table.

2) Yeah, it's tech. No doubt there is someone at Netflix who runs their batch job scheduling system or some inane detail that nobody outside of tech even knows exists that makes $900k, and nobody freaks out about that. ("Efficient job scheduling is is going to kill CPU designers! Won't someone please think of their children!") It's more common than people outside of FAANG think. When I was a lowly Senior Software Engineer at Google over 5 years ago, my W2 comp was around $300k. Are there some people that are 3x more productive than me 5 years ago? It is a certainty. Money well spent if you find them!
>the disturbed air made the ADS occasionally stop listening to data coming in from sensors on the right side of the aircraft, and stop listening to data from the left side altogether.

>Each time the ADS switched between those primary sensors and backup sources for gauging flight conditions, the further its assessments drifted from actual flight conditions. The poor assessments led to the ADS calculating incorrect flight adjustments, and the pilot found the system disregarded his own attempts to get the jet back under control.
So there's been a half century of "reverse engineering", but there is no evidence of aerospace technology leaps in the half-century this has allegedly been going on. Rocket engines, materials engineering, etc, all pretty much have a well laid out public technological evolution, from theory to experimental engineering to productization, distributed across aerospace, materials engineering, etc in thousands of companies and universities and factories.

The technologies alleged would transform human existence, and would mean trillions or more commercially. Effortless exploitation of asteroid resources being the low hanging fruit. Even if it isn't an instantaneous interstellar drive, it would imply freedom from gravity wells and practical inter-system transportation.

And how is it that there is one pilot that sees UAPs on the regular? This is like the UFO abductee that has been abducted a dozen times. If a pilot is seeing regular UAPs, there will be a hundred pilots seeing this phenomena.

Put it to you this way. If we happened to have alien UFOs crashlanding on the planet, it would be of utterly paramount importance that the technological gap represented is closed as soon as possible, for the survival of the species. It would involve every engineer and scientist being read in to get as much reverse engineering probability as possible.

It would mean marshalling worldwide resources for exploitation and development of space resources and defenses.

I actually like the Robotech / Macross take on this, where the alien SDF-1 crashes on the Earth, and a world war is basically halted in shock. A world government is formed, and immediate worldwide financial reasources are poured into reverse engineering and immediate space-based capabilities developed. That is basically what would happen if the world was shocked by the arrival of technologically superior aliens and we got our hands on some of their technology.

As it turns out, the scale of defenses constructed in the ten years after the SDF-1 is a pittance compared to the 4.8 million space cruisers and likely 50+ billion alien soldiers available to the aliens when they arrive.

The only way there would be no usable technological reverse engineering is if the arriving UFOs specifically built landing craft with the technological base of the natives, or somehow the technology is black boxed in some way that it degrades/self-destructs if there is a crash.
"Users" yes, but that's not why Twitter was "big" (in quotes because, by user base, Twitter wasn't big at all).

Twitter's cultural cachet was because you could link and embed Tweets. Whatever platform you're on, viewing things on Twitter "just works" if you have a URL. That means journalists can point to things on Twitter, post things on Twitter, and the normal mechanisms of internet virality mean they can spread through basically any medium (i.e. how many times are Twitter links shown on other platforms?)

It's also worth noting that "influencer" types don't - or didn't - use Twitter directly. They used various bits of API management software to curate their appearance.

Threads has none of that: without a web browser experience, you can't share and link things on Threads in other mediums. There's no possibility of embedded Threads posts being a thing. And that means, fundamentally, Threads can never actually pull sign-ups by organic virality - or pull views from it either. It's notable the big sign up wave happened right as it looked like Twitter was going to block viewing Tweets for users without an account - that was (correctly) interpreted as the final nail in the coffin (and was rolled back).
Why would reverse engineering be an interest at Nintendo? Curious.
"Race" is a social construct. We assign "race" based on physical and cultural traits, not genetic. We back into the relationship of "race" and "genetics".

You could easily have a genetic predisposition to prostate cancer without being a certain race, even though that "race" may have a higher propensity for that genetic trait.

I have but haven't had anyone ask me leetcode questions yet. Everyone's just been asking about my precious jobs. I also have an ok amount of public projects, maybe that's why?

If someone asked my to do a leetcode style problem I'd politely refuse, and likely end the interview. I went through that kind of job hunt at the expense of my mental health and confidence in myself as an engineer once. It was one of the most degrading experiences of my life (so in all not a bad life to be fair). I'll never do it again.

For example, this well known quote: https://www.azquotes.com/quote/605697
You might actually be surprised, or at least I was, that browsers -- and typically worse, IoT junk, still generally respect the DNS server(s) served to them via DHCP or they use plain ol' 53 to the hardcoded Google/Cloudflare standards. Some (like the Facebook Portal) are tricky enough to try DNS over TLS, but insofar as my big-list-of-common-DNS-IPs in the block rule is accurate, nothing reaches out over DoH unless explicitly configured to do so.

Like you, however, I see the writing on the wall. Being able to easily see (and block) how these devices/operating systems/apps relentlessly and obsessively phone home to upload as much telemetry as they can get their hands on is not something these corporations want. Eventually, they will all just use your connection for the bandwidth and pass everything over a VPN to hardcoded endpoints.
It's that the profession acquired status and $$. Mid-90s into the .com boom transformed it from a nerdy but niche profession/obsession into one with status.
Anytime that happens, the gatekeepers start to dominate.
That's my guess, anyways. I got into this work for pay in the mid-90s, not earlier, so I'll take your word for it that there was a time when women were more prominent.
> And so Spotify lives on despite its many many flaws

Spotify is going down the same path as the ride sharing companies: burning private and public monies to subsidize consumer habits, then jacking prices up to maintain cashflow. I fully expect Spotify pricing to increase fairly regularly at this point forward, especially if they continue to grow their subscriber base despite higher prices.

The problem is, the hole is so deep your non-major label artist won't be in a good position to negotiate a better deal - the lion's share will go to major labels licensing their massive catalogue to Spotify.
quite a large set of users are using default python installation. There is large number of companies and non-trivial codebases that run on default python that comes with the oldest LTS version of Linux distro.

currently quite a lot of companies use python3.6 only because it comes standard with the Ubuntu 14.04.6 which happens to be the oldest LTS version - and companies have habit of migrating from out-of-support LTS version to currently-supported-oldest-LTS

this can repeat 2->3 because there will be users stuck with older versions of python and library maintainers will have to maintain both versions: with GIL and without GIL (just like PHP extension developers did with thread safe methods)

This is one of the few sites that lets you say what you want to say and not think about it further. If I see something worthy of a response that might turn heated, I add my comment and don't return to the discussion. Other sites use notifications that force you to read responses to your comments.

You just described Ractors in Ruby, which didn’t turn out great. The setup cost for either freezing or copying memory to the target ractor to guarantee memory safety is often higher than the perf gains of the parallelism.

Not that it can’t work or won’t be improved. But there is a real world case study of what you’re recommending that we can reference without having to guess.
Who listens to music any more? That is, focuses primarily on the music, while not doing anything else. Most "listening" today is timepass while driving, or walking around wearing iDweebs. Sure, there are the people who read The Absolute Sound and buy overpriced audio cables. They're under 1% of the customer base, and they mostly listen to classical, anyway.

If you want blah background music, I recommend Radio Coast.[1] This is an amusing exercise in copyright avoidance. Seeburg, the jukebox maker (1900 or so to 1979, bankrupt), had a side business in background music. To avoid paying royalties to record companies, they had their own orchestra and recording studio in Chicago. They'd license the underlying song, which is a compulsory license with a statutory rate. Then Seeburg made their own phonograph records, running at a nonstandard speed, with a nonstandard groove width, and a nonstandard hole size, to be played on a special Seeburg 1000 player. The player played a big stack of records over and over; it wasn't random access, like a jukebox. The records were not copyrighted, because that required a filing back when they were doing this.

So someone got one of these obsolete machines, refurbished it, and collected enough of the special records to set up a free streaming service.

> Asian people, for instance, didn't see each other as the same "race" until white people came along and assigned them that categorization.

Do you think Asian people would have not come to the same conclusion, even if white peoples hadn’t said so first? I tend to think it was somewhat inevitable that Chinese, Korean, and Japanese people think of themselves as having more in common with each other than with French or Mexican people.

That's fast for sustained uphill. I wouldn't have been able to match that in my best days. Consider going pro, that's not just 'any athletic person' that's insane. TDF riders average at about 20 kph (12-14 mph or so) uphill...

This is the comment I wanted to make. DNS is one of those technologies that has a simple explanation - "it's indirection" - with consequential ramifications that turn it into someone's job. Most people will not interact with it often enough to know how to perform the job, so they remain hesitant and try not to do anything at all with it, because it burned them once before.

Git is analogous - most uses of Git are formulaic, and the underlying concepts are simple enough - but actually accessing the right lever to pull when disaster strikes is unclear and hard to experiment with. I'm in this latter category with DNS: I get it at a high level, but it's like a student who has only done the simple example project.

I'm of the opinion that we're at a good moment to redo the things DNS does with better separation of concerns by going towards "put those records on a blockchain, streamline it for known applications, reframe the hard problem around bootstrapping access to on-chain data". It's already been explored in varying degrees(e.g. Ethereum Name Service, Symbol namespaces) but it's not really something that has to be the monopoly of any specific chain.
I'm amazed at the emotionality of people who dislike Apple. I guess it's a classic projection thing where those with strong emotions opposed assume that those who disagree must do so out of the polar opposite emotion.

Apple products are less expensive the more money you make. Not just as a relative income statement, but because of resale value. You can buy a new $1000 phone every single year and end up spending $300/year net of taxes and depreciation. You just have to have the capital that you can tie up.
