Genes can definitely be a threat factor. For instance it is nearly certain males are genetically more prone to violence than females.

> There is massive variety of culture and ideology between people that share the same phenotypes

The missing note here is that some phenotype cluster near areas with proximate similar culture. If I ban anyone speaking Mandarin or with Chinese accent I'm not really banning a phenotype but everyone knows what this actually does. I think you very much understand how solidified cultural traits are used as backdoor to profile phenotype.
Recently, I've heard of several companies folding up SRE and moving individuals to their SWE teams. Rumors are that LinkedIn, Adobe, and Robinhood have done this.

This made me think: is SRE a byproduct of a bubble economy of easy money? Why not operate without the significant added expense of SRE teams?

I wonder if SRE will be around 10 years from now, much like Sys Admins and QA testers have mostly disappeared. Instead, many of those functions are performed by software development teams.
I am sure Cosmopolitan is going to love this change.
Thanks! And yeah we can put an empty line to break off into a new category. So essentially it's one category per paragraph. Within a paragraph, there can be sub-categories one level deep. You can also put tags inline.

I'm still trying to figure out how to allow nesting categories an arbitrary number of levels deep. But I don't want to introduce extra symbols and stuff, it'll be too much complexity too early on. I can imagine that for most cases, headings, sub-headings and inline tags are enough.

I will allow more customisation soon, such as using multiple heading identifiers. I'll add features as the need arises. I haven't used it for very long myself.
It is an extreme example, but every pure EV I have seen is heavier than the ICE equivalent.

You also forgot the bit where Apple are ahead of doing it on a laptop that can achieve it without needing to be tethered to a power socket to achieve the performance.
> Then there’s the US who has consistently held that those rules only apply on US soil (hence Guantanamo)

First, Johnson v. Eisentrager (the one case on which your “consistently held” seems to be anchored), was narrower than that, only holding that US courts lacked jurisdiction to hear challenges from enemy military prisoners who at no point had been held in the US.

Second, it and the idea that those detained by the US government have no rights cognizable under US law or enforceable in US courts were subsequently contradicted by Hamdi v. Rumsfeld (US citizens detained in conflict, even entirely overseas, retain Constitutional due process rights), Rasul v. Bush (military detainees have right to habeas corpus review of detention in federal court; this and subsequent cases in this list all deal with non-citizen detainees), Hamdan v. Rumsfeld (in a habeas challenge as allowed under Rasul v. Bush, finding the military commissions instituted at that time at Guatanamo illegal under both the Geneva Conventions and the UCMJ), and Boumedienne v. Bush (section of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 purporting to strip detainees of habeas corpus rights was unconstitutional and detainees retained those rights.)
> I think more people would be willing to accept a meth clinic in their neighborhood if they didn't pay property taxes from now on and could afford private security

What? Property taxes are maybe $5000 per year for a typical property, maybe more maybe less shrug.

How do you hire a full-time (24/7) armed guard for your house for $5000 per year?

Even if you allocated that $5000 toward some group in your community paying for an armed guard... ask as many people as you know today the following question:

What scenario do you prefer:

1) Pay $5000 per year and not have a meth clinic near your house.

2) Pay $5000 per year and have a meth clinic and someone with an AK47 guarding your neighborhood.

Other than that, I agree with the general idea - however I would reject the government paying for that - because ultimately that means a new tax. It would have to be the "entity" that wants to fuck up the area.

You could also describe it as doing the sane thing (avoiding hardcoding against the libc ABI through FFI) until the only sane option is removed. Did you know many libc APIs are preprocessor macros?
You may just be a gpt bot impersonating yourself. We can never be sure.
I agreed with you but a true low brightness setting while maintaining contrast is hard to dial in.

Also, due to either the driving electronics or LED diode physics sometimes the back pane initial brightness at 0br+1*dbr is too bright (lol or lumens instead of br), for instance on my macbook pro at night lights out darkness.

For instance with OLEDs there is a turn on voltage, where either the pixel is Off or On at this initial brightness. That goes sufficiently dim on my phone with an OLED screen. I suspect the back pane LEDs have this same minimum brightness at minimum voltage.

An OLED laptop or desk monitor would be nice but I don’t have that money.
puts on my dipshit hat

From a software perspective, I want people to normalize open bootloaders again. The iPad is really capable hardware held back by an overly opinionated OS that feels like a toll-booth on a treadmill. I want to love iOS, but iOS loves to hate me... even booting into a Termux instance on Linux would be preferable to me. I know that's a passe opinion though, so I'll add some other complaints.

Hardware-wise, I think Apple should take a few cues from the Surface Pro. The kickstand on that really emphasizes it as a laptop alternative, and user-replaceable storage was a respectful addition that earned the "Pro" moniker. I think the iPad is capable of reprising both features, even if only for the Pro models. As-is, the current iPad Pro features feel more like enthusiast upgrades rather than professional tools. That's not bad, but they could do better.

I'll be the first to admit that I far prefer the iPhone 4-style boxy design of the newer iPads. It's so much better than the rounded space-age models in a lot of ways. The only tweak I'd make in that department is a return to flush camera modules (even if it means lower-quality cameras). As a former iPad owner, I can count the number of photos I took on one hand. I can count the number of times the iPad didn't lay flat in the thousands.

So honestly, I think most of the iPad's problems are in software right now. While we're dreaming, it would be nice to see a more repairable/accessible design that emphasizes repairing/replacing the front glass panel. It's a very expensive repair, and third-party covers are already quite popular in the aftermarket.
Hehe, I considered that in my first prototypes. I avoid any kind of customisation like fire when it comes to Ensō, but perhaps I should change my approach after all...

My main source of inspiration was writing by hand, and then typing.
The term "modal" pre-dates <dialog> by a huge amount, and generally refers to a popup within the same window that prevents interacting with what's behind the popup (I believe the term comes from how you "change modes" when it appears). On the web they used to be implemented using <div> and CSS, often with some sort of javascript library so you didn't have to do it yourself.
OIDC+OAuth is what most people actually want when they think of OAuth imo. The main issue here is that OAuth was not designed as an authentication protocol.

I'd go out on a limb to say "likely many", especially since this is a rather new phenomenon. This is yet another example of bean-counters being at the helm: in their pursuit for productivity (narrowly defined as "impact factor"), they have undermined the very conditions that favor meaningful discovery. These essentially boil down to: the ability for research faculty to make long-term, risky bets.

What the bean-counter class can't seem to understand is that researchers are motivated to make big discoveries, so you can actually trust them to be judicious in their use of resources.
I don't have a strong opinion about sideloading applications.

What I'm more concerned about is Apple being forced to allow non-WebKit browsers in the App Store.

Apple requiring the use of WebKit on iOS is the only thing stopping Chrome from having a complete monopoly, aside from Firefox with its 5% marketshare.
It sounds like Mastodon. Or at least, that was my experience with it. People do find you quite easily via the Local Timeline, and engagement tends to be much higher and more authentic even with lower numbers. Just be sure to stay away from the drama.

I don't think that Bob's essay goes against layering per-se. It's about the OSI layering specifcially not being suited to describe the current Internet anymore.

Layering is very much alive, but I tend to agree that we need a richer and better suited layering model.
I actually get to see a little more of databases than most so:

"SQLite is a sql-based database with a particularly unique feature: the entire database is in a single file."

Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) developed a SQL database known as Rdb for VMS. It could store everything in a single file. Oracle bought it, and maintains it here:

https://www.oracle.com/database/technologies/related/rdb.htm...

SQLite's ATTACH command allows the spanning of files. Be careful how you use it in WAL mode.

"SQLite being a file on disk does make connecting from external clients effectively impossible."

SQLite does support access over NFS and SMB, unless you are in WAL mode.
How is encrypted? Is it content-based encryption so files can be shared? How are the encryption keys stored?

Who is pinning the files in IPFS?

How are you planning on charging for storage? Are you going to use Filecoin?
It is not different on mac (although there libc is just a subset of the wider libSystem).

It is different, uniquely so, on linux: on most unices the kernel and libc are developed as two sides of an entire system, both being updated in lockstep when the system is updated. As such there is no real concern about keeping the syscalls stable, if you need to change it on the kernel side you update it to match on the libc side and you're done, everybody is supposed to use the libc.

Not so on linux, the kernel and the libc (most commonly glibc) are developed by entirely different groups which don't necessarily like or communicate with one another. As a result, on linux syscalls are a stable API, and direct syscalls are an officially supported method of interaction. In fact its sometimes necessary as the libc might decide not to expose a syscall.
Strongly recommend reading this, as well as looking up Homakov's exploits. My opinion is that OAuth 2.0 is a very bad spec because in practice people do not implement it correctly. As to why? Maybe it's that the spec is split across multiple RFCs, and defines many insecure behaviors as compliant, and authorization is just hard.

When Facebook, Twitter, Github, etc. all got burned at various points in time with their OAuth implementations, you have to start looking for the common denominator.
Just want to read it and it will make me happy : )
This ought to make Halloween a little creepier. Everything we've got for the Candy Bowl this year has chocolate in it.

The FDA hasn't just dropped the ball here, they've set it down and kicked it away from them. They seem dead set against regulating the food industry to protect consumers (aka doing their job). Food companies could produce chocolate safely, but they don't want to because it would eat into their profits. They're fine with poisoning us to make a little more money, but if they weren't allowed to sell chocolate at all unless it conformed to a federal limit they'd do it because selling chocolate would still be massively profitable.

We really need to put pressure on the FDA to do their job and set federal limits for the amount of heavy metals allowable in our foods. Our food supply seems to be getting less and less safe all the time. Why are we letting these FDA employees live off of our tax dollars if they refuse to work for us?
Auto-translate:

Elon Musk has just unveiled the latest feature of X (formerly Twitter): the ability to make audio and video calls through the platform.

This idea has been in the works for some time, and Musk clarified this week that these are currently "early versions" of the site's new communication tools.

It's unclear if this service is only available to users who pay for verification through X's premium subscription. However, the new features didn't impress some X users at all.

"Who asked for this?" read a post on X. "Elon is wasting money on pointless things – we already have WhatsApp, Discord and standard messaging apps?"

"This sounds great to those who want it, which I'm not one of," another user said in response to Musk's post.

Musk has often spoken about his plans to turn the platform — formerly known as Twitter — into an "everything app" similar to China's WeChat, which offers messaging and video chats, food delivery, banking, and shopping, among other services.

Since taking over the company in 2022, he's introduced a number of new features, including the ability to post longer videos and a revamped payment verification system.

He also said that X will soon start offering financial services and the ability to pay for things – and promised that users would be able to manage their "entire financial world" through the app.

Despite all its new features, X is still struggling to reverse the decline in user numbers after months of chaos on the social media platform.

According to data from Apptopia, the X app has lost 13 percent of its daily active users since Musk bought the company last year, reports the Big Technology Newsletter.

Browser?
"HelpfulLayerFilmedPlayer" is quite the tongue twister.
If authorities and those with power will apply a "cost" to you for doing an action, you do not have freedom to do that action. This is what freedom means.

Otherwise, what does it mean to you? Is your view that simply being physically capable of doing something means you're 'free' to do it?

Do you think people in North Korea have freedom of speech? After all, they can say whatever they like. It just comes with a cost (life in a labor camp).
Booms and busts in crypto affect the market price, not reliability. Historically, blockchains with significant adoption and robust engineering like Bitcoin and Ethereum have had 100% uptime since near inception. Filecoin is newer (think the network went live in 2019), but since this relies on IPFS, you can also just back up your files in any other way (hard drive, cloud, etc) and the IPFS protocol will pull a file from any of several pinned data sources on the network.

I hated the wellnomics software at Intel, but it was annoying enough for me to just disable it instead of tinkering with settings to make it bearable.
No need to ban it, but I'm happy to support a carbon tax on aviation equivalent to the current market cost of CCS, so something like $200/t.

So, for instance, Elon Musk's private jet is estimated to have emitted 2,112 tons in 2022. Elon would have to pay a $400,000 carbon tax.

Ideally these taxes would flow through fuel, but that presents some challenges, since planes can re-fuel in jurisdictions without those taxes, although that's certainly harder to do in the United States. I think in the US, it might be hard enough to do that that just taxing the aviation fuel is fine.
> thats why starship uses methane

No, that's not why. Starship uses Methane/LOX because almost all modern rocket engines do: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Rocket_engines_using_...

> Mars has water and CO2

Yes, it does. What is doesn't have: lots of available energy, industrial facilities, storage tanks, or any of the other things required to actually make in-situ methane/LOX production feasible.

You don't have to believe me, the helpful folks at CSS have provided all the numbers and background data:

But at least the brightness setting should be easy to reach then (preferably analog dial). In my current monitor, the only way to adjust it requires multiple tiny 4 way joystick button presses to reach the correct space in the menu. No direct controls. The only direct control is for volume, while one would never want to use this monitor for sound (super tinny hdmi speakers). No option to even assign this control to brightness.
This was my immediate thought too. We need perhaps a long lived website that captures misjudgement on the part of people in power and update their scores over a long period of time. A kind of public record, ledger. A kind of wikipedia, but simplified only to record +1s, -1s against their name, and the reason for it.
Possibly, though you'd likely be including applications that already have those deals.
Academia makes what it measures (papers that get cited). You do not need brilliant minds to do this kind of work: you just need hard-working, highly motivated "midwits" and you can pay them accordingly.

Yep. A printed journal issue can sit on a shelf for years and years consuming zero energy and requiring zero raw materials. Yet the entire time it is accessible and usable.

To keep a PDF of that issue online and accessible(assuming you have an account, remember your password, charged your tablet) requires constant energy usage to power the servers in the datacenter. It also require periodic hardware replacement in the data center.

I suspect that over the lifetime of the paper journal it's PDF copy will require the consumption of far more energy and materials than the paper one did.

Electronic documents are great. I've got nothing against them. But let's not fool ourselves(or let ourselves be fooled) by all the greenwash pumped out by people trying to please investors.
>the cure you suggest fails on 95% of obese people

This has nothing to do with "Diet and exercise don't work" and everything to do with the fact that every single fat person KNOWS they are fat, already KNOWS diet and exercise are the solution, and has likely already tried diet and exercise in some way and couldn't manage it. People usually get fat because eating calorie dense foods feels good and people are desperate for anything to feel good because the average person has spent the last 6 decades being squeezed for every last drop of wealth by the ownership class, which it turns out is a very stressful experience.

Diet and exercise are extremely difficult to tack onto your existing life if you aren't already predisposed to it, and if you are already predisposed to it, you probably aren't fat because you have a healthy diet and exercise!

My mom's family grew up eating fried lard(!) as a regular food. Not a single one of them got overweight because they had regular exercise when they played with friends or did chores like tending the garden or worked the potato fields, and because they literally could not afford to eat enough lard to get fat

The reason that food insecure households are fat is not some magic bullet substance that we will be able to remove from our life, but because for a lot of Americans, you buy your groceries at dollar general or walmart and the frozen nuggets are cheaper than a pound of chicken thigh.
I believe the most value is taken when there's an asynchronous system and you need to verify it's correctness. Backend dev

For app dev I'd say the main problem is always "what we even need to build?", and then polishing over user experience.
> You could also describe it as doing the sane thing (avoiding hardcoding against the libc ABI through FFI)

No, you could not.

On pretty much every system but linux the libc (or equivalent) is the officially supported API to the kernel. Bypassing it is not supported and thus definitionally can not be sane, that's like declaring that doing the sane thing is avoiding hardcoding against the front door and entering your home through the roof instead. The front door is what you're supposed to use, do hardcode against it. Same with libc.

And Go has been going "ouch" then putting its fingers straight back in the socket from the start, as it keeps trying to work around libcs on all the platform where it is not supported.
Yeah, I'm uploading it through NFTStorage gateway (your files then will be pinned by many nodes on IPFS network)
Yup, that's one of the reasons I built Ensō instead of using iA Writer.

A group can have a right in the general sense that is restricted from individuals in that group. Note that this is a different construct than is used in the First Amendment (and I have a hard time believing that the framers took their semantic decisions in drafting these phrases lightly):
