Everyone complaining about oil & gas, and how wind turbines are so much better for wildlife. But SpaceX gets a free pass for the carnage done and law-free territory they established down there in TX, because muuuh supposedly good tech.

Most silly comment in this whole 'discussion' was that remark about birds supposedly getting shredded in cooling towers, or flying into them. Oh the insanity!
> This immediately falls apart, by that logic we should literally have no government or society to speak of. "Only as much power as you think the worst possible person should have" would mean literally no power - there isn't a single decision in my life I would pass off to the worst person I could think of. What you're describing is anarchy.

Not at all.

Suppose the worst possible person is in the prosecutor's office. They get to decide who to prosecute. But they can't just file false charges against someone and throw away the key, they have to prove it in court with evidence and convince a jury of the defendant's peers. Moreover, we could prohibit prosecutorial misconduct and set up an independent agency for investigating and punishing it. And we could require vague laws to be construed in the defendant's favor and strike down excessively broad ones as unconstitutional.

It's possible for these checks and balances to fail -- there is some evidence that they have -- but in principle we could have stricter ones that work better. And if they work as intended, it doesn't matter how bad the prosecutor is, they don't have the power to cause harm, and they themselves are punished if they try to exceed the limits of their power.

But if they just do their job, i.e. investigate crimes and prosecute the offenders, they do have the power to do that.

And so it is with any other office in the government.

The problem is that the current crop of google assistant devices (excluding current and upcoming gen cell phones) are woefully underpowered for local models, meaning that supporting the existing install base will be expensive.

I expect that a new assistant like product (Google Bard Home or something) will be announced and existing Assistant/Home devices will be deprecated.
Just for reference, the "ambition must be made to counteract ambition" line comes from Federalist 51, also by Madison.
Sure let’s legislate social media. If the claim is the problems with VR will be the same problems as social media. Let’s legislate social media and that should solve problems in VR as well? As far as it’s just a new facade over social media and the noisy new internet, let’s legislate that.

I personally think the larger space of spatial computing (VR, AR etc) presents immense opportunities outside of its ability to just be another vehicle for ads. Leave that part alone because our regime of regulations only creates calcification and monopolization.

> Scott's writing to address specific claims with predictive power

Which his model does not have. That was the point of the post of mine upthread that I referred you to. The actual cases he cites (French Revolution, Russian Revolution, Chinese Revolution) are a much better match for the Reactionary model (though with a caveat that I gave in my upthread post--the final "monarchy" step in these cases, e.g., Putin's Russia, is not an improvement) than they are for his alternate model. (His justification for his alternate model matching the Russian Revolution better is that Khruschev and Gorbachev were "more mellow" than Stalin, but step 6 of his alternate model says that the government "does pretty okay", which was not true of Gorbachev's USSR any more than it was of Khruschev's--not to mention Putin's Russia, as I said above.)

So why is Scott so confident of his alternate model, if it actually is worse, on net, than the Reactionary model he criticizes? Because he fails to realize that the US and UK (and other countries in the British Commonwealth like Canada and Australia) are not the historical norm, but are historical outliers. They have managed to settle into "liberal democracy" which might be "mellow" and doing "pretty okay" at home only by exporting all of the "state-sponsored violence" elsewhere, where their voters can ignore it and their politicians can pretend it's the fault of those other "repressive regimes".

In other words, the egregious historical errors Scott makes in this article, which was what I originally called out in my first post in this discussion, are closely connected to the main point of his article: he is only able to even entertain that point, much less write an entire article about it, because of the false historical narrative he has.

Here's another example, where Scott restates the article's central claim (from which its title is taken):

"A monarch who voluntarily relaxes their power before being forced to do so by the situation – like the constitutional monarchs of Europe or the King of Thailand – is performing a controlled burn, destroying the overgrowth that would otherwise cause a fire and skipping directly from 1 to 6."

Tell that to Tsar Nicholas II, who voluntarily abdicated when his high officials convinced him that it was for the good of the country. Russia not only did not "skip directly" from Scott's 1 to 6, it never reached his 6 at all (see above). Since this was one of the examples Scott explicitly chose, you'd expect him to at least check to see whether the actual historical facts matched his narrative.

When I need to use VSCode, I use the Github, npm Intellisense, Prettier, EditorConfig, ESLint, Jest, Gitlens extensions just to make daily work (web dev) easier.

This brings it more or less into feature parity with out-of-the-box Webstorm, my usual IDE (which just has more plugins built-in and activated by default). For mixed-IDE teams, EditorConfig is a must because it lets you share repo & code formatting settings across individual devs without every commit messing up each other's settings.
> The real threat are power lusting humans with enormous resources supporting malevolent motives

It's one of many real threats; even asking which threat is most significant is moot given how many ways mere automation can radically disempower people — one of the other recent topics here was the UK Post Office scandal, where entirely normal software with entirely normal bugs was treated as an infallible oracle leading to unjust convictions and suicides.

OK, thanks.

Does it still count as an "oopsie vulnerability" if Apple has publicly documented this behavior for years in their documentation?

https://support.apple.com/guide/security/airdrop-security-se...

> Apple did not deny helping the attacker TMK.

I can imagine many non-malicious alternative explanations for Apple not commenting on that particular vulnerability. For example, doing that here opens the door to a future in which every non-denial is seen as implicit admission of collaboration.

It's also possible that Apple themselves was compromised: It's a large company, and other types of leaks do happen.

I'd focus much more on the things Apple very publicly does not do, such as in this case not using private set intersection for AirDrop.

The best vulnerability is the one you don't even have to defend, because it's just the absence of a more secure (but also more complicated) alternative. There are countless historical examples of that: Unencrypted instant messaging, non-end-to-end encrypted cloud storage etc.
I don't even use Amazon, but I definitely sympathize with prime subscribers. It's nearly a requirement for average people in their 30s. Have kids or limited time? Spouse likes a show on prime? Live in a rural area and the walmart 30 minutes away doesn't carry what you need? Shop at wholefoods regularly? Use a kindle?

As a single eccentric mid 30s guy in a small city, I get by without it. Its still annoying for me. This is the Microsoft-esque bundling strategy where several things you need are bundled in with a bunch you don't. It covers enough of the average demand to be nearly essential and products subsidize each other keeping the cost low.

I doubt it would pass the test of consumer-harm. However, it clearly stifles innovation as it is impossible to compete in any bundled category when your competitor is a megalith offering service nearly free or at cost.

This is why the poster above feels bullied. They know you need to subscribe. I personally quit prime years ago but I don't expect enough people to be able to do this to matter. For many people, even with the price bullying, bad ux and anti-consumer shit, the value is still there even if the original ROI has shrunk.
Would have been nice to mention Valve's Overwatch system used in CSGO (not sure about CS2) and DOTA2 [0][1]. I'm not sure how effective it is in CS but it's seemed to be a remarkable improvement in DOTA2, at least for toxicity if not hacking.

How so? I've played all 3 of those, and much prefer the Civ 5. Or at least I think I do? I haven't played Civ 1 or 2 for 20 years now, so it's hard to compare.

I couldn't find a source for this figure. It links to https://backlinko.com/ad-blockers-users which is more specific

> 27% of American internet users block ads

...I still couldn't find the source for that. I believe it's a "Digital Trends Report" by Hootsuite but couldn't find it.
Yes, but at the end of the day nobody wanted to lose face and admit the system was flawed and people ended up in jail/going bankrupt/committing suicide or all three because £10,000s of discrepancies were assumed to be fraud and not bugs.

Accessibility can be implemented for third party GUI toolkits.

Qt: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/accessible.html

Web: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility

Even immediate mode toolkits can do it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33859697

Accessibility is not a reason to use first party widgets. It's a reason to use widgets with good accessibility support.
Amazon is great for buying products I already know I want. Prices are reasonable, shipping couldn’t be much faster (in my area), with Prime anyway. And it’s usually fairly easy to go directly to a known product (by name or model). Also their return policy can’t be beat by an online retailer (drop it off at Whole Foods/UPS, no box/shipping label needed).

Amazon is horrific for browsing or searching — anytime I don’t know what I’m looking for, and I want to have more data to inform a buying decision. Their reviews can’t be trusted, and their search results optimize Amazon and the sellers over the buyers.

I used to rely on Amazon for confidence in purchasing a good product, but that’s not been the case for 5-10 years. I have to do my research somewhere else (often Reddit) before making a purchase.

Unfortunately there are a number of products (e.g. iPhone cases) that even that’s impossible to do nowadays. But fortunately, these are usually cheaper products, so the risk is a bit lower.

I’ll still continue shopping at Amazon, once I know what I’m looking for, due to the things I mention in the first paragraph. But I no longer trust it for discovering products and informing choices there, particularly for anything meaningful.
Madison elaborates also on this theme in Federalist 51, but with separation of powers rather than federalism & factions.
> The US government has much stronger checks and balances than most parliamentary systems where the prime minister is elected by the parliament. This means that there's no split possible between the executive and legislative branch. I think the result of this in the US is that the government tends to deadlock, and has a lot of difficulty compromising, which leads to dissatisfaction and instability. Conflicts heighten without compromise or resolution for decades until they reach a breaking point. In a parliamentary system, the need to build a governing coalition can result in greater incentives to compromise.

Yeah, if I understand, the original idea of the checks & balances in the US was that each branch of government would be fighting to become the most powerful and so they all had ways to stop each other. But it wasn't really designed to deal with the idea that political parties would grow in power enough to supersede the branches of government as the top-level entities fighting for power.

This idea that you'd be able to form a large enough coalition across Congress, the Supreme Court and the Presidency that you could get all three branches to work together wasn't really considered back then. With more localized politics that was basically impossible and so the individual branches were fighting for power.

Our form of government should be updated to reflect the reality of more powerful political parties.

Depending on how you slice this problem, you will get a different result.

If you slice it up per mile traveled, airplanes win.

If you slice it up per trip taken, driving wins.

If you slice it up per hour spent traveling, driving and flying are about the same. (according to the book Freakonomics)

Flying is very safe. The statement "flying is safer than driving" is industry propaganda to help appease fears of flying. They cherry-picked the statistic that made them look best and flooded the whole world with it.

If you had a magic genie and you made your one wish to replace all passenger vehicle trips with commercial airline flights, including quick trips to the grocery store, you would kill a lot of extra people.
Looking this up a little bit more, I think it's more complicated than I was saying but also than you're saying.

For the "normal" cases, you're right: you can have copyright on the original parts of a derived work. You are fully right though that the original work's author does not in any circumstance get the copyright for the derived work. That was a confusion on my part.

> But even if I were to violate the terms of the GPL (thus terminating my rights under the GPL), I still would not lose my copyright interest in the program I wrote, only my right to distribute it.

As far as I understand though, this is not true. If you were not authorized to use the original work, then even the original parts of your work are in fact not protected by copyright at all. So, if, say, I take a Spiderman comic and add an extra page of fanart at the end, without any authorization from Marvel/Disney, then my extra page of fanart is not protected by copyright at all, and anyone is free to copy it (unless it also infringes on Marvel/Disney's copyright of course) [0]:

> Only the owner of copyright in a work has the right to prepare, or to authorize someone else to create, an adaptation of that work. The owner of a copyright is generally the author or someone who has obtained the exclusive rights from the author. In any case where a copyrighted work is used without the permission of the copyright owner, copyright protection will not extend to any part of the work in which such material has been used unlawfully. The unauthorized adaptation of a work may constitute copyright infringement.

I'm surprised with remote work we haven't seen a resurgence of the small town.

True, but modern CAPTCHA rate limiting is not easily bypassed, and a lot of the solutions are free.

Together with cookies, you can show the captcha only to visitors that are not already recognized in some way, giving them a limited number of actions before showing the captcha. And regardless of whether you want one on your password reset page, you almost certainly want one on your login page anyway.
This is my bet as well. They're not firing because they have to. They're firing because the bean counters showed them how much more money they could have if they did.

You can definitely do that.
You really missed the point. Some commenters have falsely claimed that there are no jobs available in lower cost of living areas, which we can see is obviously wrong based on the unemployment rate. The fact that San Francisco has a slightly lower unemployment rate doesn't invalidate that point. Compared to SF, Cleveland has much better housing affordability as measured by absolute price, median price to income ratio, home ownership rate, or any other reasonable metric. And there's nothing special about Cleveland; many other cities have similar or better affordability.

It's certainly somewhat common for more tech savvy folks to go out of their way to ensure their devices use 5Ghz when compatible.

But ISPs? Router manufaturers? No way in hell, why would they self-impose additional support burden by preventing the customer from connecting their 4-5yo old low-end laptop or their shiny new smart bulbs or their brand new Amazon Kindle?
Just wanted to mention here, this website was a great laugh for me and my friends, but looking back there was a lot of antisemitism up at the top of the list for a long time that me and my friends spewed and laugh about without thinking about it.

This is a great idea. I'd been planning to create something similar where cells are topologically ordered based on their dependency structure; although I was thinking perhaps to integrate with Jupyter more, eg use their existing kernel web sockets infrastructure. In my mind, one would be able to zoom out and see a graph view where hovering over a node would show its corresponding cell with content / output. Each node might be coloured according to execution status. That said, I'm not a UI expert and I never got around to it. So thanks for your efforts, I'll definitely give it a spin.
It's funny, as an American in this economy, I was only able to find work by applying abroad, and eventually ended up working for a European company.

They pay less than the American ones did, but my god, it's so much nicer to work with them... small team, no bullshit meetings or stupid rituals, just a bunch of friendly, highly competent people. Makes me really want to move to Europe.

(Genuine questions, please don't misinterpret as negative judgement):

How much of this is actually new as far as income vs costs, and how much of this is unwillingness to make sacrifices that older generations did? For example, in my 20s (20 years ago), it was very common for 20somethings to live in shared housing with 2-3 roommates. They would share kitchens, fridges, everything. And these houses weren't even that great to begin with.

Is the younger generation less willing to do things like that? Or move further out, or move to a smaller town where the prospects are better? Are the prospects actually there in smaller towns? They might be more with remote work now.

Like I barely hear about families moving to different cities for a job anymore when that was more common growing up in the 80s.
usually in those jurisdictions, they insta-layoff, but keep them on payroll covering the "advanced notice".

This gives the impacted people plenty of notice and time to look for new opportunities.
