Not just luck. Intelligence and luck. There is a skill involved in creating useful simulations that give clues on how to (a) reveal inconsistencies in current theories; (b) generate ideas for future theories; (c) design future experiments; (d) inspire scientists, present and future; and lots more.

I mean, one can live without a house too.

Perhaps we are just quibbling on definitions if we're arguing about whether being homeless counts as living in the same society as those with a permanent address.

The meta point is: government regulates housing because it's something "everybody" (modulo outliers) does: live in a house. If "everybody" (modulo outliers) owns a smartphone and smartphone ownership is assumed for full societal participation... We probably need to regulate it.

We did not need a strict law about privacy when the only way to surveil and preserve information was to use your eyes and brain. And given that everyone tends to be their own main character, even that level of preservation was not terribly effective.

The rise of computers and the ability to record things in near perfect fidelity is a problem. I hope we can get a handle on it before it gets much worse.

Yeah, Europe has an interesting way of maintaining legal fictions.

The geographical naming rights is one such thing. Anybody anywhere can make any kind of cheese, but one cannot say the cheese is parmesian (or any other given example) cheese without being located in a certain region. There was a famouse case where a cheese maker in itally opened a new factory on the other sside of town which happened to be across the lambardi river, and suddenly they were no longer able to say that cheese was whatever kind of cheese...

That is just one example of many... why legal fictions are bad arguments in Europe, and don't work internationally. One cannot demand other people unsee things they have seen (wipe their brain memory), and so it goes it's equally unjust to demand other people delete photos of them they have seen and recorded in photos.

It's a lot more nuanced than that, and in some cases the privacy ideas are fully justified, but you get the idea.... there cannot be absolutism in either direction.
They do say why. By example.

We're saying the same things, I just meant you could actually lose a lot of money but see your balance go up, especially with smaller portfolios. As your portfolio gets bigger it's less likely to happen because eventually a single-digit loss over the course of a year might be enough to wipe out more than the max contribution.
While the math might be a little off, telling people not to run to the OBGYN after not getting pregnant after one or two attempts isn't bad advice.

In fact, high performing equities if anything tend to fall and regress to the mean.
> - Built in GPS for location tagging in photos(a few cameras have this but for many you need an external dongle attached to the camera)

Sony's lineup actually has support for precisely that in the pinout of the MI Shoe which all their cameras since over a decade use [1].

Unfortunately, the <insert swear word of choice> at Sony never released a GPS dongle, and while there has been root available for all Sony Alpha models up until the A7S2 via the integrated (fossil and cut-down...) Android subsystem and they all run Linux, to my knowledge no one has reverse engineered the MI shoe comms interface, how to get that ruddy thing into being a wifi client instead of that temporary hotspot crap, or how to make it behave like a goddamn normal UVC webcam over USB instead of needing their brutally unstable client app.

Sony makes truly best-in-class hardware (no one else has a competitor for the S series in a low-light scenario) at the best possible price point... but damn no matter what hardware they're dealing with, they're the typical Japanese company that cannot get software right.

Rant over.

The real non-story in the article is describing the downright awful behaviour of advertisers and marketers, and trying to say the problem is cameras.

> "By 1905, less than 20 years after the first Kodak camera debuted, Eastman’s company had sold 1.2 million devices"

Smartphones today sell that many roughly every 9 hours[1]. Add laptops, tablets, quadcopter drones, dashcams, doorbells, CCTV cameras, compact cameras, DSLRs, cars with builtin cameras. I think we're still at the early days of cameras changing the world. "The future is here but it's not evenly distributed yet"; twenty years ago, Flickr and YouTube were founded. There's almost nothing you can't see online or on TV now: any activity, any place, any thing, especially including the minutiae of other people's lives and inside their homes from the luxurious to the impoverished, ostentatious or humble, everyday or holiday, there's countless photos and videos of it.

Want to see a driver's view of a tram or truck or bus journey in a foreign city? A trip on a luxury train or a remote mountain top? A helicopter flight, a submarine trip, Australian outback or Thai food stalls? People sitting on their couch watching TV and chatting about it, someone angrily ranting from their kitchen, people cooking food and eating it, people at work or relaxing, the insides of factories offices public places or government buildings, rare equipment and devices, museums, you-seeums, no-seeums up close; do you want voyeurism, inspiration, exploration, drama, tranquility, nature, disaster, ingenuity, warzone or poorzone, languages, opinions, the mundane, or the joys of propane?

You can find it, you can see it - you can drown in endlessly scrolling it, it can be tuned to your interests or sought on a whim - but you can't have it through a screen.

it will take more than 20 years for the effects on society to fully happen.

Application developers are deliberately trying to blur the line, too, in their user interface. How many users really grok that when they use iCloud syncing with their photos, they are uploading their photos to the Internet?

Since many of us grew up before and then after the Internet, we kind of instinctively get what application functionality needs the Internet, what functionality doesn't, what gets written to the Internet, what gets read from the Internet and so on. Younger computer/phone users don't get this at all. My 11 year old has no mental picture of why X requires Internet and Y doesn't require Internet. She doesn't understand the concept of Data A is stored on-device, and Data B is stored on the Internet. And honestly, I'm even having a harder and harder time explaining it. Tech applications have totally blurred and grayed the previously black-and-white line.
> unless we make privacy-respecting software easier to use than spyware

This point is key.

I don't use an Android instead of a Pinephone because I don't care. I use an Android because Pinephone sucks right now, and I can't be hacking on the device I need to rely on to schedule my bank payments and call the emergency services if I fall in a ravine. That device has to be five-nines trustworthy.

The solution is going to have to be make Pinephone suck less. That's the only way to mass adoption and actually changing the landscape.

Music piracy didn't get its back broken by a sudden global attack of conscience. It got its back broken by iTunes making it more convenient to get music-to-portable-device than running a torrent server.
>THC-A bud you can buy in a smoke shop will be about as potent as recreational/medical marijuana.

Except it tastes like dog farts, on account of its growing irregularities (e.g. lack of sunshine, as you pointed out).

As a personal annecdote, test-sample size of only a few ounces (of "legal weed" [THC-A]), my Volcano vaporizer filter/screen looks entirely different when running illegal/legal products through it:

For THC-A, the screens cake-up quickly with a dense, black, tar-like substance; no green is left within the plant even after fewer runs/hits; the vapoo (depleted marijuana, thrown out) is left lifeless, stunk.

For full-grown marijuana, the vaporizer screen is still dirtied brown, but it's fluffier (cottonlike) and accumulates much. more. slowly. The vapoo still has flecks of green, and nothing appears charred. It smells like popcorn instead of shit-stained bedsheets. "Trim" & "ditch weed" sublimate similarly, albeit for not as long/strong (but tastes better than legal weed, still).

Perhaps the temperature needs to be lowered for THC-A? I don't know, but I ask the few friends I know that buy local (legal THC-A) weed to "bring me a gram of the next `good ounce` you buy from that store, and we'll see what Volcano can do." I have yet to see much deviation from my above-observations.

----

Combusting THC-A ("legal weed") has never been an enjoyable experience [no sunshine == no terpines/flavanoids], but vaping it does still deliver some "high" so I know there must be some weed in there.
I would say the opposite: putting critical information only in HTTP headers is dangerous; always put it in the actual file; in some cases a file extension is sufficient.

> These people in my experience ignore the difficulties that a purely security-oriented approach imposes on users

Your scale analogy is probably more approachable, but I'm a little more combative. I usually start out my arguments with security weenies with something along the lines of "the most secure thing would be to close up shop tomorrow, but we're probably not going to get sign-off on that." After we've had a little chuckle at that, we can discuss the compromise we're going to make.

I've also had some luck with changing the default position on them by asserting that if they tell me no, then I'll just do it without them, and it'll have whatever security I happen to give it. I can always find a way, but they're welcome to guide me to something secure. I try to avoid that though, because it tends to create animosity.
1. Chrome/Chromium's performance only recently became acceptable in 2022 when the Chromium team finally added support for tab discarding, many years after Firefox first had this feature. Tab discarding is essential for users who regularly have hundreds of tabs open. The Chromium team has historically not given a fuck about such users.

2. Firefox is vastly more configurable and extensible than Chrome/Chromium. For example, Tree Style Tab and Sidebery are far better for managing hundreds of open tabs than Tabs Outliner, the closest alternative for Chrome/Chromium. This difference, like the one above, is mostly relevant to power users.

Given that 20 years have passed since Firefox was first released, and 99.99% of web users nowadays are casuals who never have more than a couple tabs open and would sooner kill themselves than learn about the many useful ways Firefox can be configured via about:config, user.js, userChrome.css, userContent.css, etc., the answer to your question is probably no.

Sorry. don't have a good example with math.

I think the issue is that in the 70's the cut off was lower, below 13M.
And stocks/bonds were also not doing as well so the concept of selling and investing and living off that wasn't possible. And possibly a lot of farmers had loans, large debt.

I'd need to find all the pre-inflation 70's examples. I just remember at the time the farmers were kind of stuck in a catch-22. Probably does not apply to todays farmers.

But you are correct, with your numbers. If the land really is worth that much, they could sell and re-invest.

I'm purely talking about the change in birth rate and how that relates to outside pressures. The German birth rate is rising, but it's also true that it's very low. It has been below that of the US since about the 1920s, and the two are only now approaching each other with the German birth rate sharply rising (probably attributable to immigration) and the US birth rate falling.

And of course population pyramids are affected by both births/deaths and migration. Migration is a pretty big factor that is very different between the three countries (and that changed significantly over time as well)
A basic problem I have, looking at an Excel spreadsheet, is I don't know which cells are calculated by a formula, which are constants.

Maybe it would be easier if the spreadsheet was divided into an upper part with only constant-cells and a lower part with only calculated values, would that help me?
If you want to pass the string_view to some API that expects NULL terminated strings, then a copy is necessary (well, maybe is some cases you can cheat by writing a NULL in the string and remembering the original character, and then after the API call restore the character).

This isn't as much a fault of a string_view type of mechanism, but rather API's wanting NULL terminated strings. Which are kind of hard to avoid on mainstream systems today, even at the syscall interface. Oh well..
I mean that sometimes I get so sick of the constant problems and churn and breakages and errors and mistakes and bugs and weird behaviors that I feel like doing something completely different.

If you never feel that way, I'm very happy for you!

I’m curious, are you using meme in the original Dawkins sense because if that is the case then I would fully and passionately agree with that to the extent where that is precisely what it seems like is happening

Further, what is the new memetic position on children that is being implemented?
I think there's a very important real-world nuance here.

What you want with a programming language is to handle granular logic in a very explicit way (business requirements, precise calculations, etc.). What this article posits, and what I agree with, is that existing languages offer a more concise way of doing that.

If I wanted to program in a visual way, I'd probably still want / need the ability to do specific operations using a written artifact (language, SQL, etc). Combining them in different ways visually as a first-class operation would only interest me if it operated at the level of abstraction that visualizations currently operate at, many great examples of which are offered in the article (multiple code files, system architecture, network call).

I propose this is a bit of a checkmate - thoughts/memes/rhetoric?

[1] I very much enjoy pointing out the flaws (logical inconsistency) in "scientific thinking" as it is...which is another instance of the very same abstract phenomenon Neil is talking about here, "as it is-ness", as opposed to how it is intended and asserted as a fact to be (which is literally what you are doing in this argument)... I wonder if he ever considered that he too (and all of his "intellectually superior" to my kind) scientific colleagues) suffers from this very same problem, and also the degree to which he has considered it.
In hindsight I missed a few obvious ones (completely forgot lists), but would have expected HTML 4 tags to still be HTML tags (font, etc.). And I do wonder why SVG is on that list, which can be used inside HTML, but is pretty much not an HTML element, to my knowledge (same with math).
I hate it when scientific results are behind a paywall.

Ladder, SFC and FBD are all graphical languages used to program PLC's. Ladder is directly based on electrical ladder schematics and common in the USA. The idea was electricians and plant technicians who understood ladder schematics could now program and troubleshoot industrial computers. SFC and FBD were more common in Europe but nowadays you mostly see Structured Text, a Pascal dialect (usually with bolted on vendor OOP lunacy.)

I will admit that for some programs, Ladder is fantastic. Of course ladder can be turned into horrid spaghetti if the programmer doesn't split up the logic properly

"bold" is a style, and perfectly fine to use for any word that you want to apply that style to.

"strong" is an intention and allows other things to define what style(s) that intention should be represented with.

It's not often that you want to represent something as a "bold" style without representing it as having strong emphasis, but there are times. A header is a good example of a place where you might want the header to be styled bold, but strongly emphasize a single word in the header. Since <header> doesn't apply the styles that - say - h1 does, it would be perfectly reasonable to script your header as

```
<header><b>The <strong>Worst</strong> Case Scenario</b></header>
```

... especially if you didn't want all of your headers to have a bold style applied.

Obviously there are a few other edge cases but I will admit that the vast majority of the times would naturally call for a strong tag, over a bold tag. And for those majority cases, I'm really glad that it's "strong" rather than bold, because "strong" is meaningful in different ways than "bold" and it always makes more sense, to me, reading it back as html telling me how I should interpret the word, rather than just how it should look.
