Top-down control was not the norm in the past. In fact, top-down control in the modern sense used to be impossible.

Sure, there were lords who claimed large parts of the population as their property. But they often didn't even have a complete list of the people they supposedly "controlled", nor did they have any insight or actual control over their private lives in the sense that modern nation-states do. Legal codes used to contain a few dozen criminal offenses in total – today, there are tens of thousands.

Invasive, pervasive, centralized, highly organized, and sophisticated top-down control of individuals is an entirely new phenomenon that is only made possible by cutting-edge technology in the first place. If you imagine past societies as forerunners to modern police states, you have a very distorted picture of history. Many of them did not even have anything like police to begin with.
Sure, because everyone has a relative that knows technical stuff, why there is a hiring problem in IT at all.

Sewage systems are a requirement for properly factory farming the humans. You could do it without it to some extend but if the human laborer is to be specialized into a somewhat sharper tool it is rather inefficient to have them randomly die from diseases. Sewage systems are what allows cramping them together much tighter.

Therefore we have sewage systems thanks to capitalism as much as we have cold winters thanks to chimneys.
> Respectfully, you don’t know what you’re talking about if you think GPS “isn’t impactful enough”.

How informative of you.

GPS does things better but we can do generally the same things without it.

Don't think about what would happen if we ripped out all GPS functionality overnight, think about what would happen if we had a decade to implement replacements.

The loss of accuracy wouldn't be that important.

Hmm, focus on cargo ships and you can see a pretty rapid revolution, but in a wider lens maybe it was more of a broad evolution. I'm not sure.

But my point was that the list was too long, not that it didn't have any valid examples.

The SEO Playbook for B2B SaaS
Hey, everyone! I’m thrilled to introduce my first Playbook- The SEO Playbook for B2B SaaS .

I have been personally investing significant time and resources into resolving our own SEO issues at Omnify. It’s still WIP. However, along the way, I realized the value of documenting the learning, hacks and sharing it with fellow B2B SaaS founders and growth hustlers.

Another dead simple solution would be if AWS would provide us a simple subdomain (such as myapp.xxxx.aws-hosting.com), no need to meddle with IPs at all in that case.

Mostly public perception (annoyingly): people are still going to have a go at being anti-nuclear about it, but building a fusion power reactor is going to have a lot more public cultural cachet to draw upon then fission. We've got a generation of science fiction who's core message is "fusion power solved all the problems".

Though there are genuine advantages: for as radioactive as the interior of a fusion reactor may get, if you cut power it'll just sit there safely doing nothing. No decay heat, no potential isotopes to leak - maybe a puff of tritium gas - but that's it. It is a technology that has a perfect control loop for safety because it can't self-sustain at all.

I don't think obesity is fake or overblown. That's what the article was trying to argue.

I do however think BMI has its flaws and that those flaws are pretty significant when it comes to assessing individual health.

There is a healthy body fat % range but it is all very dependent on someone's activity and consumption.

> More recent measurements seem to point to more encouraging values for the α-sticking probability, finding the α-sticking probability to be about 0.5% (or perhaps even about 0.4% or 0.3%), which could mean as many as about 200 (or perhaps even about 250 or about 333) muon-catalyzed d-t fusions per muon.[29][30] Indeed, the team led by Steven E. Jones achieved 150 d-t fusions per muon (average) at the Los Alamos Meson Physics Facility.[31] Unfortunately, 200 (or 250 or even 333) muon-catalyzed d-t fusions per muon are still not quite enough even to reach "break-even," where as much thermal energy is generated (or output) as the electrical energy that was used up (or input) to make the muon in the first place. This means, of course, that not nearly enough thermal energy is generated thereby to be able to convert the thermal energy released into more useful electrical energy, and to have any electrical energy left over to sell to the commercial electrical power "grid." The conversion efficiency from thermal energy to electrical energy is only about 40% or so. Also, some not inconsiderable fraction of that electrical energy (hopefully not all of it) would have to be "recycled" (used up in deuteron particle accelerators, for example) to make more muons to keep the muon-catalyzed d-t nuclear fusion fires burning night and day.[32] The best recent estimated guess of the electrical "energy cost" per muon is about 6 GeV (billion electron Volts), using deuterons that are accelerated to have kinetic energies of about 800 MeV per nucleon, with accelerators that are (coincidentally) about 40% efficient at taking electrical energy from the Alternating Current (AC) mains (the plugs in the wall) and accelerating the deuterons using this electrical energy.

Yep, it's challenging. Maybe this rate can be improved by applying alternating voltage to reactor. Muons are charged particles, so they can be accelerated further. (Just idea)
> 4. Mass scale carbon capture technology

one of these is not like the others. direct carbon capture works now with the slight caveat that we would have to build 10x our current power supply in fission plants to power them. coccolithophores are an appealing route in principle, but research into their lifecycle and use for sequestration would be a quotidian pursuit for thousands of labs around the world, given funding.

Django was a "batteries included" framework about 10 years ago. But the core team had very strong opinions about javascript, saying that picking a javascript framework should NOT be part of those batteries. Time has passed, and javascript is now part of every single website or app we build. Django still doesn't give any help to developers that wants to build a modern site.

My opinion: They should go the Phoenix Live View-route: adding a small websocket js layer, that permits reactivity while deferring as much logic to the backend as possible.

If it is the use of colons instead of dots that prevents you from learning the adresses, then I'm not sure you can be helped.

But that discussion aside, if you adopt the IPv4 naming scheme to the 128-bit IPv6 adresses, Google's DNS would be 8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.8.

I would never be confident that I put in the right number of 8's in that case. And I have a feeling that you being overwhelmed has more to do with the total increase of possibilities, than with hexadecimal notation.

I guess it shows that IPv6 was designed for computers, not humans. Because we need a vast number if IP adressses. And that is fine for me.
That's a really good way to reason about the difficulties.

It's a grift for funding.

We still can't factor all 5-bit numbers (the largest was 15-ish, but even that wasn't general IIRC) on QCs.

Scammy startups are out there claiming all sorts of non-sense; ask them how many
bits (arbitrary) they can run Shor's algorithm on and all their hyperbolic claims
fall flat. Shor's alg. is still the gold-standard when it comes to QC's definitive
advantages on Classical machines (all the ML ones have been disproved IIRC).

All of the words in the above sentence are important, because they'll weasel out and
cheat if you don't include them (even Google/IBM do this).
No, I believe it's literally zero but we don't have a measurement apparatus with infinite precision so we need some cut-off.
Yes, and if you can hold and retain power over the guild then the power of professional exclusion exceeds the coercive power of any one employer.

> ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

At first i wanted to disagree, then i realized why. Disorder means wrongly ordered or sickness. ADHD is classified as such, and if you want treatment, you need to get yourself diagnosed.

I really dislike the pathologizing of every neurotype that deviates from the imaginary normal person. I'm pretty sure, if you look closely you'll find something "broken" in everybody.

Other perspectives are possible. ADHD can be an advantage. A survey in a network of CEOs found over 60% have it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdT4DIiX7Nk

> Maybe 120V AC isn’t l objectively the best

Just like miles and gallons..
Same. I don't care about Proton compatibility for games and only look for native support. Something that works on Proton today might stop working tomorrow if the developer only cares about Windows. Even for games that do work on it, they have all sorts of bugs and glitches that may not be game-breaking but which I'm not going to put up with like a second-class citizen.
The Zotero 7 Beta
> if STUN won’t work (some mobile carriers and enterprise networks) then port-mapping protocols probably won’t work either

This is a bad conclusion. STUN dies on endpoint dependent mappings and proper port mapping setups are specifically to allow this. The oversubscription enabled by endpoint dependent mapping is drastically higher if you have the memory to run it. The correlation between modes and support for the protocols does not work in the way you think.
> We might eventually transition away from AC power entirely.

This is actually a really good point I hadn't fully considered, but it's right: the primary reason we use high voltage anywhere is because it minimizes resistive losses (and the reason we use AC is because it's easy to transform between voltages).

But most of the stuff in my home doesn't need high voltage - it's all running at 5V or 12V. Or it's a motor which is magnetically driven and depends solely on magnetic field strength (which is independent of voltage).

If all your conductors have zero resistance, then high voltage is obsolete. You could safely run a residential property on 12V power. Home electrical hazards would a thing of the past.
Why are you certain they're wrong? What if you applied all of your intelligence and engineering knowledge to the problem of measuring the ocean's temperature, and found that these scientists' methods had done as well or better than you would have?

Conspiracies and mistakes abound, to be sure; but they don't need to be hidden, in general they happen right out in the open, or are exposed relatively quickly. We don't need to impugn the hard work of dedicated people just because your intuition says otherwise.
The more important aspect of that story: your public directory. Once upon a time, you could actually link to content in your Dropbox directly. Like, not to some Dropbox interstitial, but to files themselves. dl.dropbox.com/u/[your user ID]/path/to/file.ext would let anyone access the file.ext under [Your Dropbox "Public" directory]/path/to/.

Insanely useful, which is why it both helped Dropbox gain massive userbase, and why it became one of the earliest victims of enshittification.
I think there’s a difference between “don’t” and “can’t”.

And don't forget thalidomide!

It was initially marketed for anxiety, sleeplessness, and morning sickness over in Europe. This led to a massive amount of birth defects and newborn fatalities. Luckily the FDA did not approve it.

The FDA reviewer was early in her career and was essentially given thalidomide to look over as an "easy start", but luckily she had an interest in fetal development and refused to approve it until fetal interactions were shown to be safe. It resulted in a huge battle with the manufacturer which was only resolved by it being linked to birth defects in the rest of the world - after which they withdrew their application.

Colons are inherently more frightening than dots, especially double colons, which seems like some badly written C++ class escaped from gaol. Dots feel friendly and cute, I would pet an IPv4 address.

Sure, and the rest of the planet hasn't adopted IPv6 either. It's a horrible UX.
Not true at all, and obviously im on this thread because im not neurotypical.

> but it doesn't mean making a proper Linux port is as easy as pressing the "Linux" button.

Depends ... It can be that easy, sometimes. I was maintaining a huge Unity based VR setup the last years which had both Linux and Windows PCs (mostly for legacy reasons). Building for both platforms was done from the same bash script with the only difference being the platform identifier.

Tbf that was a very standalone application that did not interact with the OS a lot, but otoh I would assume that a lot of games are like that.
