We know some people locally who worked in DC for a number of years and used to put on dinners like this. We went to one at their home a couple years ago where they had gathered a group from a variety of backgrounds for the purpose of discussion around community issues. While they hadn't filtered an agenda exactly, there had been some guidance on topics included in the invitation. While there are perhaps nuances to how these can be executed, over the past two hundred years since Jefferson I would say other groups have tried to achieve the same outcome through their "salons" and "chautauquas". In our case, the meal was served and casual conversation made, and then we moved into a separate room for a more formal, structured conversation directed by a moderator. It worked well, but also felt a bit like an echo chamber.

In our current political environment, I'm really not sure how these types of conversations actually make a difference. For example, in our area we have a group absolutely dedicated to destroying the local libraries and carrying that same mission into our public schools. These people have no intention of compromising or making peace. They don't even care who has the most votes or community support - it's their way or else. You have people attempting to put on community forums and discussions, but I don't see how you come to any resolve when one group has every intention of forming sides and browbeating the other until they get their way.

Thanks for the explanation. It's frustrating when people use acronyms and you don't know what they mean. Better to always be explicit on the first usage. I'm only marginal at following that ideal though.

In the UK there is no legal tolerance for going over the speed limit to overtake or merge. The only defence (and not even technically a defence) is that there was some emergency/duress. Some police might individually tolerate it, but it won't get you out of a fine and you'd almost certainly immediately fail your test. I'm actually kind of shocked to read that a (presumably European?) country would tolerate going 30kph over the limit on a driving test! However, the UK is fairly strict about traffic rules. You can't even go through a red light to let an ambulance through here. People have been fined for it, and their fines have been upheld at appeal.

Personally, I would imagine it's very unlikely to improve safety, and have seen near crashes result from it, so I think if you're needing to go 30 kph over the limit to make the overtake, then you probably should have just waited. However, I am completely willing to accept that this is a case where evidence should outweigh anecdotes, so if there was some study and reliable data to show that this sort of a tolerance is a good idea, then we should absolutely adopt it into the law under some objective criteria.

I do of course agree about malicious enforcement though. Again that's something that doesn't tend to be a big problem in the UK. Speed limits must be posted on both sides of the road to be enforceable, and if it's not the default limit (e.g. 30 in a built up area), there will be repeater signs every 200 metres or so. Plus we tend to also paint the limits on the road, and speed cameras are painted yellow and have a sign telling you that there are cameras, often with a reminder of the limit. You do occasionally get situations where the signs are obscured by trees, especially now that maintenance budgets have been cut, but you can use that to get out of the fine. My experience driving around the UK is that it's really rare that I don't know what the limit is, and if I don't, 99% of the time it's my fault for not paying attention.

e/acc is an internet meme. The underlying ideological group, to the extent that there is one, is the "reactionary modernism"/"Californian Ideology"/"New Right"/"neoreactionary" cluster.

My impression is that for Scott they're what he calls a "fargroup": weird and bad in theory, but not salient enough to provoke a real response in practice. The way modern people feel about Genghis Khan. But I have very mixed feelings about Scott and extremely negative feelings about neoreactionaries, so take that with a grain of salt.

The NHS (public healthcare), is unusable. They are taking the piss, having two hour lunch breaks at surgeries, pushing everyone towards main hospitals which are overcrowded. Schools are a gamble, it’s called the post code lottery - the masses obviously say the “rich” are sending kids private, but anyone who wants decent schooling goes private. Increased small business taxes, increased software contractor regulation, are literally killing the industry. Cities are going bankrupt due to mismanagement yet folks keep demanding tax hikes as if that’s going to fix the fundamental issues of this country. I’ve never seen the UK in such a bad state. Potholes everywhere while the government is yet to be held accountable for misspending money.

Iron lung: 'negative pressure' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_lung
Ventilator: 'positive pressure' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventilator

Humans breathe using 'negative pressure', expanding muscles within the rib cage (principally on the back) and draw in air. Until computers and quality sensors could be given control over the breathing process, positive pressure breathing was too dangerous to even consider. While Iron Lungs were a nightmare of complexity and patient care was difficult with all or part of the body in a pressure chamber with seals around the neck... Iron Lungs were a safer alternative, especially if there is fluid in the lungs that needs to be coughed out.

I am not 100% convinced that the switch to using positive pressure exclusively was a good move, with vent damage being prevalent especially on comatose patients... and patients who would not even be in a coma but for the fact they were put on a vent.

Research like this does make me wonder about what percentage of anti skilled finfluencers are actually the malicious case rather than misguided. That is to say, the case where they peddle some position they know will do poorly and secure a short / contrary position themselves. That way they are effectively doubling how they can monetize their audience, once as ad-revenue, and a second by profiting from audience losses. It's probably impossible to control for something like that, but it's interesting to think about.

> Is it true on technology forums? Are 98% of participants in tech forums making bad engineering decisions? Are they upvoting things that confirm their beliefs?

One of the main differences is that users on technology forums (thinking of something more like HN rather than r/technology or other technology-related subreddits) are typically professionally employed in those fields. So while the advice on tech forums might not be the best, it is usually not asinine or downright moronic.

As for trading forums? Typically they are overwhelmingly filled with people who have never even been employed in finance in any capacity at all, and it definitely shows.

You can't be a non-violent Nazi, violence and the idea that racial groups are constantly at war with each other is an inherent part of the ideology. There is at best a Nazi who due to the circumstances around them is not choosing to engage in violence yet.
I should apologize. I'm sorry for talking out of my ass. My narrative was opinions formed from observations and whipped into casuistry.

Change to what? Authority is clamping down, my church leaders tell me I have no choice(s). Random adults in society are shooting down the idea of free will. I don't recognize myself when I look in the mirror. I am guilty of despairing.

You guys are going to 'operationalize' psychology and data, (aka men), in favour of maintaining 'planetary boundaries'.

I am conscious of all this, and the huge amount of responsibility I have for my family and their lives.

What is the point of a self, if we are all surrendering to unknowable, electronic control. What's the point of being conscious at all.

There are no ropes/levers/relations to oneself in my heart.

I was an institutional man in the 90s, I used to be myself in relation to a larger structure, built on relations and goals and achievements within it. It was heavenly.

Now my soul dies everyday, as we drift further from the light.

I just cannot get up every morning and answer a text message on a phone from a random boss and pretend I relate to it.

It is difficult having to watch yourself become the villian in relation to yourself, just to survive some unknown global change.

The same adults that describe how lovely airports were before 9/11 security (an older pilot I spoke to), are the ones in favour of stricter and stricter control.

The problem is that I can understand. I was raised to understand, analyze, critically think, interpret, calculate.

Important facts take forever to mine out of public sources, no strategic knowledge is communicated (that I can act on) and we can only observe the changes and interpret, nearly always coming to pointless narratives, but not wanting to forget the past, or the self.

How can one plan their life (or even relate to themselves) when everything changes every 2 years. Order 66 can't come fast enough, so we can have an end to the cycle of betrayals and 'unpromises'.

In conclusion, go away with the preachy suggestions that have no substance that we (or me) could bank on.

I haven't been banned (even though I'm often abrasive-ish), so I'm grateful for that, at least.
Agreed, but non-sequential execution is the nature of event-driven, async non-blocking code. Event-driven as Web Applications (not Websites!) mostly deal with events (user input or network events). As long as the JavaScript VM and the DOM uses non-blocking async models no framework - being it Vue, Angular, React or whatnot - will ever change that.

Sequential, blocking modells like i.e. batch ETL jobs are just not the domain of the browser.

Another point I haven't seen mentioned much: WASM (in theory, and not including some modern extensions) has perfect, cross-platform, cross-architecture determinism. It's niche but I think it's very interesting.

For example, I've toyed with the idea of creating a game which runs its logic/simulation entirely in WASM with the only input being the controller/keyboard inputs. That way you can create perfectly reproducable replays which could be used for racing games or timed platform games similar to Mario Maker. Then your leaderboard of best times can be properly verified (not accounting for manufactured/edited replays similar to TASs, Tool Assisted Speedruns). You could take it a step further and include previous versions of the game simulation WASM to get backwards replay compatibility, which is also uncommon in games.

No “this issue has been corrected” for this one. Are we still budgeting storage like it’s the 1990s for logs?
The "spin the entire stack" was an interesting approach to staging as well. It is theoretically very simple and elegant, by just using the existing RCS thrusters for separating. It wasn't clear to me if this also obviates the need for a propellant settling burn on StarShip. I'd think it wouldn't, but I'm not sure. There is still a thin atmosphere at the staging altitude, so if StarShip is pointed in the right direction after separating, it should be de-accelerating slightly in the direction of travel.
> which can still exist just fine under socialism

Theoretically, it's claimed.

Where are the markets in Venezuela? Which bakery could you go to in the Soviet Union when the bread line was long and the shelves empty at the state store?

Why is it that such places always end up using some sort of ration ticket instead of real currency?

> As for the second part, that's the exact thing that proponents of socialism assert you are not free to do under capitalism. Your average worker has no hope of saving up to be able to "start an endeavor",

No, they're just lazy losers. I read somewhere once that you can buy the hotdog cart at Costco for $400 or $450 like that.

But I suppose the ones that whine that they can't start an endeavor want to skip to the end of the game, where they own $500 million in McDonald's stock and a few dozen franchise stores... so my example doesn't count.

There exist opportunities for people at all levels of capital.

I'm not an entrepreneur myself, don't have any knack for it. But it's nice to know that the commies are always there, hiding in the shadows ready to swoop in and confiscate, if say, I did buy a food truck and put my brother-in-law to work running it.

> The key part of capitalism is that any profits in excess of the bare minimum go to the owners of capital,

You mean, the owners of the business. Sure. Why should it be otherwise.

No one with capital would trust the sorts of people who do minimum wage scutwork to be the sorts of partners who should be cut in on the profit. Go read r/antiwork and tell me those are the people who you'd trust with your life-savings. All they bring to the table is talentless meniality and a bad attitude.

> you either have no access to the means of production, o

What is a "means of production"? Are you lusting after some billionaire's water-powered Jacquard loom?

We're on Hacker News, if I'm not mistaken. The means of production for most of us is a laptop, and internet connection, and our brains. But maybe you're right, most people don't have access to that last one.

> It's user space libraries like glibc that break backwards compatibility.

s/backward/forward/

The commlaint here is that the older glibc on Debian 11 doesn't run programs built against a newer glibc under Debian 12.

glibc has very good backward compatibility, with careful symbol versioning and whatnot.

Backward compatibility means that a newer glibc (like in Debian 12) will handle programs requesting the older glibc (e.g. from Debian 11).
So... is it time yet to develop mitigations against DOS attacks by security researchers? The first thing I would suggest is that CVEs should only be requested by first parties (e.g. the manufacturer/developers), but that of course gives manufacturers too much leeway to deny real security issues.

Maybe some proof-of-work rating? For example, CVE severity is assigned not on theoretical susceptibility, but on actual breach level that the researcher is able to achieve.

The problem, as always, is trust, and trust arbitration.
