And I would agree to a degree. Your product are cookies which uses King Artur's flour. You invest at the same time and create your own flour Queen Guinevere.

You sell Queen Guinevere cookies within the same line, sure it's not selling as much. The means isn't making the worth but you still invest. Suddenly King Arthur flour quality drops, they implement a cheaper method of milling which produces a less superior product. This then causes an decrease in customer happiness too. What then?

You've already made optimization on the cost of that King Arthur is always going to produce the same quality. The cost to optimize another product is going to be a far wide expenditure and nor do you know if it's quality is viable.

If you've already planned as a disaster scenario that if this was to occur; you'll use another product. However, during the period to disaster some new cookie store has come in to the light and is now using your backup: King Louie flour.

So now, not only are you flogging your product, you have someone else using your backup brand where by using it could cause some sort of turmoil. Meanwhile, if you had continued to invest in your own flour you still have your own product and can now instead, decide to use it to produce something else like crumpets.

Sure, as a cookie grain, may not be as best-seller, nor best the same quality, nor make the same sales but you still have a product that you can sell and improve. Your own product, a new product, crumpets.

I'd agree that this comes to moot, but does demonstrate the scenario of both degrees. Overall, agree to disagree that it comes down to: You started a business for a reason.

Dependent on that reason, and is it because:

A: Yourself, wanting to be a business, wanting to innovate, construct, produce for yourself, to provide to others maybe, Spare time on hands, self-Happiness? Your not trying to compete.

Or B: To compete, make money, to become the next top dog. Capitalize.

If it's B, then yeah. Your not interested in quality and will always rash-produce and regurgitate the same as every one else. Construct and push as fast as you can because you've got to compete; while it makes you the next top dog, it doesn't create anything new.

And this is the point I'm making. If the business still invested in their own product, their own wheel they could still become the next-top-dog as such and not only that; have a product that's shiny and shines above the rest. That's what's lost in this world. Reinventing the wheel does exactly that.

I guess this comes as the consumer, a script kddie, seasoned SysAdmin, rookie programmer, who stands in the world and looks at all the next-top dogs but all holding the same rehashed shite, where once I've seen, experienced and witnessed different companies, developers, things where made different products with their own different wheels.

I'm just tired and depressed of the dystopian A or B because of.
For #1, just knowing it is private isn't enough. I may have a claim to the land, and need to know who owns it. For example it's really handy to know who owns the land that borders mine.

For #2, the owner is ultimately responsible. If there is a lease or any other contract, that is a civil matter. But all that matters to the police is who owns it.

For #3, your income and taxes you pay should probably be public too. Why shouldn't they? In other countries it is public. And in America, if you work for the government, your income is public too.

For #4, you do have a say. You can vote for people who will change the laws. For example, in some counties the ownership information is available online, but in many counties, it is not. You have to go into the county office to get the name and address of the owner.
Yes because everyone should own their home and landlords shouldn’t exist?

I would guess that the idea of a property register is about as old as the idea of formal land ownership. Ancient Rome definitely had property registers, and it was probably not their original idea. After all, maintaining records of land ownership for purposes such as taxation and military service was one of the core functions of many ancient states.
New Zealand recently had a minor controversy, where Owner (names) public datasets were used by third parties to create a searchable "What (else) Does My Landlord Own?" -style website, riding on a current of anti-rich-landlord sentiment in the midst of that countrys rising property price issues.

That happening raised discussion similar to this, and sparked the governments land data department to investigate the suitability of allowing public access to such data. Ultimately, so far, they have decided to keep the status quo - the data is available, but its usage is governed by reference to overarching Privacy legislation, which defines acceptable privacy standards and gives a legal pathway for abuse to be prosecuted.

Incidentally: due to many rental properties being owned in the name of private Trusts, Mom-n-Pop shell companies, and the like, a simple search by person-name only provides a partial result anyway, in this context.

I feel that this type of story is never punctuated by the fact that this is the mechanism by which we feed all of humanity - industrialization. All industrialization being painted as largely evil is counterproductive to finding the optimum point of trading off unnatural interventions and sustainable preservation. The goal is to feed the planet efficiently rather than preserve practices that work only on small farms.

If you have 10% of the members essentially eating the lunch of the other 90%, then it seems there should be some attention on this. Perhaps a maximum pay multiplier between members on the same project. It'd be stupid not to address the unfairness.

That ice is too thin for my taste. It came bloody close. Much closer than it had a right to. Mike Pence should get some kind of medal, I absolutely abhor his politics but to stand straight in the face of that much pressure is heroic at some level.

Don't most of those PCB places have a minimum number of copies of 3 or so? For nearly everything I've wanted to build I've only needed one. I end up using some kind of generic pre-made board like these [1] that mimics a common prototyping board or like these [2] that just have a bunch of groups of 3.

I really wish wire wrap was still common. Wire wrap was actually more durable and reliable than PCBs, and for a lot of hobby projects would be easier and faster than designing a PCB and having it made. I wonder if there is a big enough hobbyist market for a wire wrap revival?

the "weapon able to end self hosting" in this context is "everyone with access to a backbone decides your content shouldn't be part of the larger Internet."

Everyone. That's a huge group.

The easiest way to test your hypothesis that this scenario leads to totalitarianism is to check if KF is still reachable right now. And... Yes, yes it is, via tor. HE chose not to work with them but they're only one corporation. KF has allies. And the government can't force it offline because the choice to peer / provide service or not is a per-company choice in this dimension, not a government regulation.

Contrast with your proposed scenario, where we hand the government the right to regulate peering and, two government changes-of-hands later, KF (and various other services) are forced off with the teeth of legal enforcement behind it. If the government starts sending company owners to jail for hosting KF, how many fewer potential peering partners will be out there to support them? And not just them, but whoever that government deems unworthy?

You're arguing for government control over personal / corporation control and somehow claiming the alternative is totalitarianism. I disagree, and I don't think we're going to come to terms. So I'm taking this opportunity to exercise my own liberty to end this conversation.

And no government will force me to continue it.
I’m not sure, but does it seem like a stretch to suggest that current homeless problems in the West are part of some nomadic subculture, that’s framed within the medical model as mental illness?
Google and Bing cooperate with various governments to a lesser or greater extent; we also know that the NSA subverted Google's internal networks for months or years (allegedly without their cooperation, but given the national security letter system, who knows).

Realistically anyone could be placing malware anywhere and the right defenses are an up-to-date browser and some level of common sense. But if we're going to start worrying about state actors, I think the odds of getting renditioned by the NSA/CIA are much higher than by "Russia", even if only because Russia is busy with a lot of other stuff at the moment.

> The food problem is hard, especially because food isn't very fungible.

Indeed it is, and modern agriculture has drastically improved human life from the situation of just a century ago.

The thing is, we've gone too far - in our quest for more and more and more food production, we have endangered nature itself. Soils are degrading because the crops use too much nutrients and because the wildlife - particularly small burrowing animals - get killed off by pesticides directly or because their food got killed off by pesticides. On top of that, heavy farm machines compress the soil... and so it can't soak up water any more, leading to flood and drought issues (it can't retain water because the soil is too compacted for the water to seep through, so no buffer for drought times, and when rain falls it just washes the topsoil with it and is gone). And that doesn't even mention insects and their role in food chains.

> GMO's should be regulated so that pesticide restiance is mitigated. Personally I think GMOs should have multiple pesticide restistances for each class of pest so that resistant pest mutations can be treated with a seperate pesticide.

You didn't get my point: pesticides kill everything but the GMO plants that are designed to be resistant, thus impacting the food chain of nature as an ecosystem. We've engineered places that are literally inhospitable to wildlife, with serious and far-reaching consequences. We barely understand food chains and anchor species as a concept, we only discovered just how huge a role wolves and beavers play in nature a few decades ago [1]. And yet, despite the warning signs (such as insect free car windshields despite driving through the countryside for hours), we keep on and on doing what we know is likely harmful!

You got downvoted because your comment is pretentious.

The nuance is difficult, but basically it's because you said "computer-literate". Your comment makes the suggestion that anyone who is computer-literate ought to be using Yandex/DDG, and if they are still using Google, then they are stupid.

A better comment would be "I've been using Yandex/DDG lately and the results are much better than Google!". That's just your experience or opinion - not judging other people or suggesting that they are stupid.

It’s so frustratingly bad. I “-“ a search term and it’s in the title of the first dozen results nonetheless. DDG is slightly better (they say “-“ creates fewer results with the term, not none) and it’s only one in the top 3 say. Say you want to do -order but have switch or rearrange in your search. You’re just SOL on Google. It thinks these terms are interchangeable, related enough, so it overrides -order completely.

I think you’re right. I became computer illiterate by using Google.
I am not saying HTMX is terrible or anything. What you've built is cool and I've built something with it. The point I was making wasn't made very well. What I meant was good options are often left out of the conversation because of React, Vue and for a while there, Svelte. There are a lot of great libraries and frameworks that nobody talks about, HTMX included. I just feel like HTMX isn't being hyped because it's good, but because of the memes/marketing aspect. I think it's a disservice to your work, which deserves to be assessed on its merits. It's a sad indictment on front-end that building something good is no longer good enough to get recognition.
I wouldn't trust Yandex for anything political, but for other information it should be fine. As for malware, not downloading and running random executables is going to already be sufficient for preventing infection, and disabling JS by default will catch the rest of exploits --- especially those that try to obfuscate their presence.

I downvoted because of what others responded. To put it another way, in keeping with the perceived tone of your post "Basically for all search queries I can imagine", maybe your imagination sucks?

There’s also an argument to be made that the average scientist is more anxious and in their head than the average human.

AI probably disrupts programming in the next couple of decades, where they produce not only software but static and dynamic validation artifacts of correctness. It’s sad though, I would have really liked to see how human programming could improve with better tooling, it seems like a lot of formal specification work (and program synthesis using such) could be improvised with just better user interfaces.
It looks like there is no way to get a version of Minecraft that isn't from MS.
I'm glad the Java edition doesn't have the DLC and ads, but I can't test that because it seems even the Java edition needs a MS account/internet connection.

If you know a place to get an offline installer that doesn't require an account though I'd love to give it a try and see how the Java edition holds up!
IMO it’s also ineffective.

You can use it to derisk those assets, but in the U.S. there have been cases of a court demanding people hand over non-domestic assets and holding them in contempt until they do.

If the U.S. government decides your assets are theirs, I don’t think the location of the account is sufficient protection. You better hope you aren’t on U.S. soil, or any soil that extradites, when they ask you for that account if you plan on telling them “no.”
And either way, you’re not paying enough cash to cover the value of what you’re selling, so the net result is not profitable.
I just use a corporation, which is simple to set up. Some journalist could track it down, but random spammers and such have no idea.

> Surely you can see the issue with having some features just not work for some people?

No, I honestly don't. If I'm using IRC, even after slack warns me about missing and unsupported features. That's likely what I want! What if I don't want to see reactions when I'm trying get work done, but I am willing to be interrupted to answer questions, etc? Also, that example is easy to solve for IRC (see above)

People using it for polls is nice, and I think reactions are a useful feature. But there's no reason you can't make a "best effort" to support something people want to use. If I need to react, I'll grab my phone, (or open a browser). Meanwhile I can have access to the information that's *actually* important... text messages.

> But if we're going to start worrying about state actors, I think the odds of getting renditioned by the NSA/CIA are much higher than by "Russia", even if only because Russia is busy with a lot of other stuff at the moment.

Renditions are one thing, that's bordering on conspiracy peddling, but using computers from people all over the world to do your bidding in a botnet? That's been a thing for many years now. I remember this already being a huge issue 15 years ago, with people taking cracks of popular software, adding a piece of malware to the crack, uploading the malware-laced package to torrent trackers and manipulating UL/DL stats to make people believe their package was the authentic one.

If I were in an army and tasked to deal with cyberwar efforts, the first thing I'd do was to set up a botnet and let it run in stealth mode, so that I'd have the resources for massive strikes ready at a moment's notice. Basically the cheater way to win in Plague Inc - achieve worldwide distribution, hide away and then ramp up all of a sudden to overwhelm the opponent.
Trying to corner the market with Google Drive
It's the old, old 'Manager's Dilemma': Do we 'buy-built' or do we 'roll our own'?

The Chinese were very happy to 'buy-built' from the US. It was win-win. The US semi manufacturers had a very large market to sell to, and the Chinese saved money on the huge costs of setting up their own semiconductor industry.

So now the Chinese have been forced to 'roll their own'. That will take a little time and money, for sure. But ... the US manufacturers have lost the biggest market in the world and will very likely go under, especially when their previous client undercuts them using their newly-built fabs and takes over the markets the US manufacturers used to sell to as well.

You know the US textiles, paper products, home appliance, earth-moving, etc, etc, industries that have disappeared? The US semiconductor industry is going to go the same way.
