What you describe as "spreading" sounds a lot like the infamous "Gish Gallop", a hugely effective debate technique named after young-earth creationist Duane Gish, who would spew out dozens of weakly supported arguments, secure in the knowledge that each argument would require at least twice the amount of time to refute [1].

I do not understand how this is supposed to prevent sibyl attacks?

How do they prevent fake virtual iris scanning devices from pretending that they scanned a person that doesn’t actually exist?

Or is the idea that sama is will run a centralised private identity system that aims to replace government identity management? Then why do you need crypto?

Are they trying to replace proof of stake/proof of work with “proof of being a human being”? I don’t see how the iris scanning achieves this?

I think it’s fundamentally impossible.

If you don’t have a centralised authority verifying identity, the best thing you can get is peer-to-peer federated identity verification like PGP.
But with this, identity is relative, as in “I trust a guy who trusts a gal who says this person is real”.
This is a grift I don't understand. Obviously there is no legitimate reason for it to exist, but what is the illegitimate reason? How do the people behind this scheme expect to benefit? Is it a good old fashioned pump and dump? Do they somehow expect to profit from the biometric data? Do they expect to gain political power by setting up this quasi-government? I don't get it.

This is very common. The Romans did not genocide and repopulate everywhere they conquered, for example. A lot of romance language speakers genetically contiguous with Celts and other such things.

And going back further there is evidence of genetic continuity with pre-Indo-European European populations too.

It is unfortunate that the point you are trying to express here has been worded in a way which does nothing but to reinforce stereotypes that Americans are arrogant and excessively nationalistic, since I'm sure that wasn't your intention.

As dang has pointed out previously, Americans only make up about half of the audience here - and they may even be a minority today (this comment and the data referenced within it is a good 3 months old): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35464697
One reason not covered here is a lot of companies still contractually require their software services vendors to follow old, outdated password rules that reflect Burr’s old password requirements. This includes password complexity rules and forcing regular password changes on employees. The companies wrote a bunch of security requirements a few years ago but no one is really responsible for making sure those requirements stay modern, for example removing password requirements and instead requiring webauthn instead. So what was supposed to be something that made vendors do the right thing with security has now become something that makes these companies unable to adapt to new security theories and practices.

Consider the share of the GDP sucked up and dissipated by the government. That inevitably results in a general lower standard of living.

The government has grown enormously in my lifetime, sucking up much (most?) of the productivity increases.
But the asserted poverty of the U.K. does not. In reality, the U.K. peaked in the mid 20th century. Its per-capita GDP lagged behind France from 1975 to 1998. There was a brief finance-driven rally from the late 1990s to the 2008 recession. But the overall pattern seems to be the U.K. having become a has-been European country, just like France, Italy, Spain, etc., since the mid 20th century.

>I think it's important to note that the good old days of a working man being able to support a family of five was only true for a brief period of history in a handful of elite countries. In most of the world, and for most of human history, it hasn't been the case that any single person working 40 hours a week could provide a luxurious lifestyle for a large family.

Keyword "luxurious".

People first and foremost want to be able to have a roof, food, some leisure time, and so on, not luxury.

And people could have a lot of that for more than "a brief period of history in a handful of elite countries". Between common wrong tropes, movies, and ignorance of history, the past is hugely downplayed as to these aspects.

The "industrial revolution" era of Marx and Dickens time, actually worsened (for the first 2 centuries or so) the working conditions and increased the working hours for huge swaths of the population. People had to be forced (via law, violence, and destruction of their prior livelihood) to go work in factories (and many fought hard for keeping their rural way of life).
I've always seen this as an anti-pattern. You can make the documentation in an .el file as rich as you want without losing all the niceties that Emacs offers for interactively working with source code (e.g. find-{function,variable} will jump to the ephemeral dynamically generated .el file, not the actual origin of the code which is in the .org file).

Why settle for an extra layer of indirection that makes interactively working with source code more time consuming?

I thought this too, until I tried to add IPV6 support for a fairly simple web application.

The single biggest problem is the quality and consistency of IPV6 implementations is frequently very poor. I ran into many bugs, strange inconsistencies and poor handling of edge cases by middleware, clients, routers and firewalls that any advantage from IPV6 was simply not worth it for our needs.

Mobile telcos and cloud providers are currently the only parties where the benefits of V6 outweighs the pain, and as such their software and services tend to support it quite well.

While the cost of V4 is going up, for almost everyone it’s still far less than dealing with V6, and there’s nothing relevant (unless you have telco/cloud provider needs) V6
can provide you that V4 can’t.

In most places where Snowflake is useful, connecting to Tor is either legal or the laws against it aren't enforced. It's usually the creators/contributors of anti-censorship tools that face repercussions. That said, Tor Project pretty consistently emphasizes that all plugable transports are for AC purposes, not steganographic purposes, and while they're difficult to block, they will not stop the network operator from being able to tell you're connecting to Tor, and that it ultimately falls on the user to decide whether that's acceptable.

The currency is a hard no, even from hardent remainer quarters. The Euro and the ECB haven't even been a success for the EU as-is, a single fiscal policy cannot reconcile the economies of Germany and Greece. The hubris of the UK submitting to the Euro isn't pragmatic or in the realms of reality. Participation from the UK hardly changes things also, making it come across almost vindictive.

Yeah, the sentiment from the continental EU, even amongst the euro-skeptic, is that the British are playing both sides; they are European when it suits them, and non-European when it suits them.

To me D is the best C like language, you can use it for system needs with manual memory management, OR if you prefer the safety of a GC, you can do that as well!

If you enter the manual memory management route, there won't be many libraries at your disposal, but you can leverage the entire C/C++ ecosystem, so that's no big deal, you go manual memory management route because you want performance and control after all

I use D for my main projects, and i love it, i still try some new languages (i picked odin recently), but i always fall back to D, because of how convenient it is to switch from system to scripting language

The only areas where i want to see D progress are:

- modern language features, such as tagged union, this one definitely helps a lot when you don't want to use the GC/OOP, i liked odin because of that part

- tooling: while the LSP is great, it doesn't support all of the D language features, so i'd love to see a builtin one, like rust's and zig's team doing, that would also help ease the learning curve for new users

- an official allocator API, so people could design libraries for GC users and manual memory mangement users transparently, avoiding the fragmention of the community

D has a bright future, it is independent, has many small companies using it, and grow at a organic rate

I don't think the new languages offer enough to make D irrelevant, they are all stuck with LLVM, while D has its own mature backend! and for that reason, D stands out!
The biggest disability I wish people would explore in their accessibility is issues with impulse control. So much of the web is designed to keep us hooked and I firmly believe that people that have issues with impulse control have a good handle on the obvious stuff moreso than people who don't because we are aware of the concept of choice more.

But what about when it's your credit account that is sabotaging you by design? Can't cancel the account unless you call a phone number and talk to somebody. But if you want to increase your credit limit, you can just click a button on the website and validate how much you make a year and boom, you have a $7000 limit when you get $900 a month.

So if you have a phone phobia and an issue with impulse control and you maybe stress spend, you now have a system totally against you by design.

It's great to explore the world as someone with visible disabilities. Also do so with neurodivergence.

Can we say something about how often a particular technological adaptation is accompanied by an adoption of the corresponding verbal expression? In other words: If the wheel has been adopted by a neighbouring community, is it not very likely that the word for it will be adopted in a linguistically similar version?

As an aside: I looked for the origine of the English "wheel" and the German "Rad", and they seem to have been different IE roots: kʷe-kʷlh₁-ó-/rót-h₂-o-[1], but the word is nevertheless often given as a example for a common IE origine. So what does scholars make so sure that the original Indo-Europeans already had the wheel? Could these words not have been derived somewhat later independently from IE roots of a somewhat different meaning, or when the area occupied by Indo-Europeans was still small via techno-lingustic transfer?

You do know that Stalin lived after 2nd WW almost a decade, yes? And you do know that the entire Eastern Europe was under the heavy boot of red plague, yes? Do you think that "oh, after WW2 Stalin never caused any more deaths, purges, famine, and became such a good boy"?

I suggest you read about communist plagues caused by his regime after WW2, not just before or during.
Once again it is completely ignored that the whole online identity thing is a solved problem, in the EU. Millions of Europeans use eIDAS apps daily and enjoy single-sign-on across EU websites, can sign docs, make payments etc. etc. And there’s no privacy issues thanks to the GDPR, which it turns out is not just about cookie popups

>And the 50s and 60s weren't that great for e.g. black people or women in the US either.

This argument is repeated a lot anytime someone mentions the working conditions in the 50s/60s, but how is it any relevant? Is there some natural law that says that mistreatment of blacks for example have to always go hand in hand with livable wages? And that anybody that likes the latter from the 50s/60s must also want the former?
At least flipping burgers you don’t have to have a morning call where you say, “Yesterday I flipped burgers, today I’m going to flip more burgers. No blockers.”

Or a Jira user story titled “As a burger eater, I want to eat a burger that’s been flipped so it’s cooked on both sides.”
Please don't.

Things have been so much smoother in the EU since UK left. Their politicians had this idea that Europe was out to screw them in every deal and that made it a very annoying 30 years of "collaboration".

I feel like things have gotten way worse in the last 4 years. Everyone has eliminated the human assistance so if your problem cannot be solved by the standard flow you are out of luck.

Are you mistaking POST for PATCH? What I've been working with is:

- PUT replaces (i.e. edit, but you need to provide the whole resource)

I did not use the word "invalid", or anything like that. You've made that up.

The author seems to think that this list is compelling, and that people will find it incredibly hard to do these challenges. But at least half the list is describing stuff that I know with certainty would be no trouble because it is either stuff I already do all the time, or has boundary conditions that have a <<1% chance of triggering. That's a lot more than "could argue".

So the list seems pretty bad, and I would suggest would not actually have the effect the author suggests of building empathy.

High school debate will not be on the same level as Plato, not unless they are miraculously talented high schoolers involved. The techniques that are taught in high school debate still make it far less resembling Plato's writings, or anything coherent. A high schooler taught to argue in a coherent way would produce something that is not drivel. The content of high school debates is drivel. It is a torrent of pre written, basic arguments designed to be quickly heard and given points by judges who already memorized all of those points. No one trying to persuade in the real world talks like a competitive high school debate. Not presidents, not angry college students, not smarmy news anchor talking heads. It's only worth is inside the academic setting where you win points for how many crappy arguments you can cram in a sentence. That's what makes it drivel.
I love the idea of v6, but the reality is still not worth it for most situations even at that price. IP v6 implementations are still all too commonly buggy and inconstant, and that’s on top of all the work required to bring v6 online.
The thing I've noticed in the UK with a buggy is the insane lack of dropped kerbs. Why? Does it really cost a lot more to have a slightly different shaped kerb?

They also seem to have a terrible habit of putting them in the inconvenient places that they want you to walk, not where people actually walk. E.g. set back 10m from a t-junction. So even if there are dropped kerbs it's still significantly more inconvenient if you actually have to use them.

Well, to a point, you may be right. However, there many very large organizations that generally do better than the majority, so I don't think it's a linear or even necessarily causal relationship. Size certainly makes incompetence, inefficiency and corruption easier, and harder to eliminate.

There's also the problem of balance: several UN organizations, for example, do immense good with remarkably limited resources but occasionally they or their cousins fuck up really badly and cause severe harm. Because of the way our media (and our brains) work, we are much more aware of the fuck ups, but this is not necessarily a rational way to assess their overall efficacy.

I do think that the right has a small point in their perspective. It is almost certainly the case that being "the only game in town" does lead to a different set of incentives for public organizations. But I'm not clear that incentives are for worse behavior, at least not overall. Some parts of it are pretty complex to reason about - there's not a lot of potential within (local) government to get wildly rich, unlike in private corporations, but there's enough to keep small time grifters and scroungers happy. So it's certainly different from the private context, but better or worse is hard to say as a general rule.
