Unlike the author, I consider the for-profit NewsGuard highly problematic due to its deep entanglement with Big Tech's web.

Like the author, I agree that it is problematic that the arms of states still reach the decisions particularly through the GDI.

Both are unaccountable and non-transparent to the public. Of all organizations listed by the author, EDMO does the best in this regard.

I also agree that the Commission has once again outsourced the difficult questions to companies and associations that are located outside of the EU. Given that disinformation has recently become a highly politicized topic in the US, expect similar problems also in Europe.
I can't, for the sake of me, understand how some frontend devs still complain about CSS' global scope when style encapsulation exists and is widely adopted in a form or the other, either native (Shadow DOM) or emulated.

You don't like global styles? Don't use global styles, period.

Even without adopting Nue and staying on React, CRA and Next comes out with CSS Modules out of the box. Angular and Vue have their own equivalent.
It's like if source tarballs didn't include the compression algorithm in the extension but just used .tar for .tar.bz2, .tar.gz, etc. and just left the extractor to figure it out (which they can do).

I don't understand what you're asking for. Ban activities that aren't necessary which could have an impact on the environment?

This is an article about a new set of standards designed to shift the category of planes pilots fly away from homebuilt ones (done out of a cost/availability necessity) by allowing a wider range of accessible commercial ones to be certified. What does that have to do with the environment?

This change has been needed for a long time and is good to see

My father built a prototype of such a device 20 years ago. He abandoned the project after trying the prototype, because it accelerated dramatically and he could not brake. He jumped sideways into the gutter and was really scared.

My personal opinion is that the bicycle is already invented and its excellent energy efficiency is hard to beat.
And like caffeine and alcohol, you can make practical use of psychedelic mushrooms in low doses with far less potential of unpredictable/problematic results. The dose makes the poison.

An ideal spring (or a capacitor) should not absorb any energy.
How do I report a breach to OKTA, my company is clearly ignoring my efforts to alert them that we’ve been hacked..

I also used the 2FA app because I thought it was the newest thing to do. But, it gave me admin rights, and back door access. Ect. And nobody believes me.

Pretty Existentialist.
"Mistake" implies it could have turned out differently. But it couldn't have, not under our current system of incentives and laissez-faire approach to regulation. Outrage and fake news makes money, regardless of the external costs on social cohesion and democracy, so this is the guaranteed outcome given enough time. What is a mistake is the underlying system of (misaligned) incentives that leads to outcomes like this.
Yeah, I have — and I got the impression that stability and long-term goals are paramount. You need a good manager, but who doesn’t?
Sure. But there are all sorts of negative side effects we should also be worrying about besides just dependence.

And we've also known about problems from psychedelic abuse for centuries. And we're talking about dumping them on the market with way less oversight than we did opioids!

This is…probably right for some people, definitely not for me.

> Rating - Individual metrics are summed up to the rating formula. This is a collective indicator of the quality of an employee's work. The rating is also presented in a leaderboard that includes all employees.

I never ever want to see a leaderboard of my “rating” vs my peers. Imagine being at the bottom of that leaderboard - it’s probably because of several factors, and “losing” for the week in the productivity leaderboard would probably not help.

Also, nitpicky, but having a woman who isn’t smiling under the “smiling is cool” line is tone deaf imo.

Because everyone does that, it's fair game to try. It's also professional not to share confidential information.

I would simply say that I can't discuss these details, if pushed then make the point stronger why saying that I won't discuss them.

This is true only for planes that burn fuel. There are about to be a lot of new planes entering the market that don't burn fuel but have batteries and will charge from any usable power source. I.e. mostly renewables given the price of everything else.

Basically think flying bath tubs with batteries, propellers, and some fancy fly by wire logic. They are not that hard to build. There are already several flying and flight proven prototypes. Several are in advanced stages getting certified, and factories that will produce these things are being built and financed. The big bottleneck (in the US) for this is the FAA and its certification bureaucracy. This will go from very small volume production now to mass volume production by the tens/hundreds of thousands units in the space of a few decades.

That's the reason there's a lot of pressure on the FAA to adapt to new realities because they are suddenly in the business of certifying lots of planes that no longer fit their existing rules and are looking at a vast increase in the number of these things. Most of these things are either capable of flying autonomously or at least vastly simplify pilot workloads. You and I could learn to operate these things in an hour or so.

Another reason is that the world is bigger than the bit the FAA has jurisdiction over (the US). These new planes are going to be flying in China, Europe, Africa, and wherever and there's a world where the FAA adapts proactively in anticipation of these changes and where they adapt late reacting and responding to general public and politicians asking them WTF is keeping them in the stone age while the rest of the world gets to play George Jetson.

A smart policy maker would want to be conservative but not too late to the party here. And a smarter one smells the money and business potential and would want to be an enabler rather than an obstacle. So, right now is a good moment to let startups experiment a bit and and adapt existing rules. Waiting until these things are flying all over China would be too late. This btw. is not a hypothetical risk but actually starting to happen.
A SOM for the MNT Reform would make more sense here I think.
Databend – The Open Source Alternative to Snowflake Worth Considering
I know this is a replacement for cookie, but some web apps use JS and sessionStorage on browser to store session token instead of using cookie.

This protocol seems to also depend on JS to do client side cryto logic and adding HTTP headers. Unless by browser/client it means the actual browser, which would take ages to get implemented across all user agents. In which case, it would likely be polyfilled by JS first as the de facto standard of doing things.

I wonder how this compares to using sessionStorage.
Same. I'm a big time psychedelic advocate, and relatively frequent consumer.

Prozac actually saved my life. Psychedelics since have certainly enhanced it, but they could not accomplish what prozac did. I can go into more detail if interested.
It's justified in the context that's been set up -- certification requires a lot of time and the license is big bucks too. Add to that the length of a trip would be many hours.

Finding a friend to babysit is not always easy. I've got this crazy idea on setting up a cooperative to do something like that. Leverage existing guides from tripsitters.org and others. Develop protocol and legal indemnification, identify suitable locations (nature!), etc.

I'd love to chat this up with anybody who doesn't think it's crazy (and even those that do, to disabuse me of this notion). There's another spin on it too that I need to write out and find likeminded souls to explore...
"Disruptive" Technologies from 2016
The answer is money.

Starship will both greatly reduce the cost to orbit, and the cost to design spacecraft (far wider mass budgets). I do not know how much C3 it will have, but very likely a kicker stage will come along for interplanetary and possibly interstellar craft.
Well, it is a big simulation. She's discovered Plato's cave firsthand; no way could any brain handle the constant barrage from the senses. Once you start tripping you see that we are tripping all the time but we filter most of it out, thank goodness. Feeling like time is looping is pretty freaky regardless; once your mind starts short circuiting and you start heavily believing in symbols, patterns, alignment etc., it gets pretty scary.

I think the best you can do is be a calm friend and imagine you're dealing with a two year old without being condescending.
My wife had multiple talks with a psychiatrist about them to threat depression, and the experience of the psychiatrist was that it's the rare few that can stop taking them without issue. Hell, it's the rare few who find the right kind of antidepressant in one go, most of the time you need to try a few different kinds for a few months, with all the side effects that come with it.
I heard Turkey does something similar.

This really isn’t helping. Cars are very safe at the moment, with the driver being the key factor in accidents. They are very safe at the current price point. GP was arguing we should keep fighting to keep them safe. That means we keep doing whatever it is we’re doing, which is making cars safe, at a reasonable cost.
I'm involved in the Singapore hackerspace.

I think our main problem was that once we had a comfortable core base of members a few years ago, we stopped recruiting more because some of us were afraid that bad people would join as members and none of us would have good enough reasons to kick them out.

When the pandemic hit, some of our members moved on with their lives — they moved back overseas, got married, bought their own places, etc. That caused our membership revenue to take quite a hit.

We made the mistake of moving during the pandemic because we thought that we could save on rent, but the new place turned out to be highly unpopular among those that didn't speak up (it was bigger and cheaper, but there were more flights of stairs to climb). More people left.

Newcomers tend to have a very transactional view of the space. Some people and groups continue to exploit the space because it's "cheap". A bunch seem to be quite happy to pay their membership dues and leave a mess after they're done, because some of the rooms don't get used very much, and enough time passes in between so we don't really know who we need to give behavioural feedback to. We've had people use the space as a hostel because they "tend to work late at night", and an "open source" group thinking that they could share access credentials among their own members because they paid slightly more than a usual membership subscription for one single month (we don't have a group membership tier).

Not enough people want to take long-term ownership over the space now — many think that a hackerspace director is also the space manager, and the person that's always around to fix things up and clean up messes. Creating a culture where members are ideally empowered to take charge of the environment is difficult.

I guess the overarching problem is that it's hard to get an active community going again without critical mass, and expect a bunch of newcomers to contribute significant amounts of ownership and money towards maintaining the space.

'For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law'

China does not have rule of law, the law is used to intimidate rivals for power and applied very selectively. This is not just for people at the top, businesses at all levels feel this danger. It’s also not just for business people but anyone prominent. These are all hallmarks of a dictatorship.
More likely too frequent use. Psychedelics twist reality, doing them too often definitely leaves a mark. Eventually you have trouble telling what's real and what's not even when you're sober.
I don't think poor performance of SSRIs is really a common reason. People just love magic bullets and shortcuts. It's basically a variant of drinking bleach for COVID, except safer and more fun.

I need your help. I have nobody, and basically nothing. I was taken away from my real parents as an infant and abandoned to live with some really awful family in a country that I absolutely don't find myself comfortable living in. My exit from this country was sabotaged last year, and I can't get my passport updated or apply for visa, because my national IDs have been invalidated. I need to start my life, with a fresh start. I have plans to make music, start DJing, launch startups, pursue research, and so much more. I'm unable to do anything because I don't even have a bank account or phone numbers. Please, I need some urgent help in reaching a country where I'd be safe and happy, preferably somewhere in Europe. I'd really appreciate any kind of advice or support. Thank you.
They seem to use a similar model to low cost airlines. Depending on when you travel and when you buy the ticket, the price varies dramatically.

I recently travelled midweek from Lleida to Madrid return for €40, but I've also paid more than €100 for the same when traveling around the weekend.

My god, yes. I had knee and ankle pain while running, then also while walking. Too much padding was allowing me to walk incorrectly. After being ‘prescribed’ flat, flexible, low-stack shoes, all the pain went away. My toes are more spread out and my abductors are thicker. Nice gains!

(Still, your mileage may vary, I included lots of exercise specifically for the transition. And still run in Altras.)
"only the 1% fly" is not true, but "only the 11% fly" is a fact [1].

About the 1%: "1% of the population emits 50% of the commercial aviation's emission". You can keep going like that to show that it is indeed reserved to an upper-part of the society. Maybe the ultra-rich are not the only one flying, but they are responsible for a bigger part of the problem than the upper middle class.

Maybe the misunderstanding comes from the fact that we're looking at the global population. Global warming being a global problem, looking only at the population of your region is not a sufficient reasoning. I live in Switzerland, I guaranty that it's a lot more than 11% of the population that flies. At the end of the day, it's a question of moral and of fairness: do we want to live a life-style which can't be generated to the entire global population and which will ultimately lead to extreme conditions for future-generations and poorer social-classes than ours ? Is it fair that 1 person out of 10 gets to fly while the 9 others will have to pay the same consequences ? My personal answer is that it should not be a personal decision, but that politicians should keep these numbers to start making laws such as taxing kerosene to the same level as cars' fuel.

Even more impressive is I believe it’s a solo dev. SumatraPDF is one of my go to examples of a great software project. Something to aspire to.
Fully agree SSRI:s probably saved my life. SSRI:s are supposed to be used as part of therapeutic regimen with therapy and regular checkups with doctor, not as over-the-counter remedy like aspirin. I’m guessing that using them detached from any therapeutic context increases the prevalence of negative experiences.
