Here in Austria any new organization entering politics needs to collect support signatures first before it can register as a political party. Depending if it's a local or federal election they will get a certain amount of money by the government for campaigning. They are not allowed to be paid by companies for campaigning.

I think such a framework could work as a model to other democracies too.
95% of end users don't care; but Bluesky has the right bits built in anyway. There's a grand central aggregator of all 13 million accounts, but it's not _special_, someone else could run one (several hobbiests are processing this level of data). Migration works* (and works better than Mastodon, all your history and network move even better than a masto server move) (*okay, it's a weird command line tool at the moment, but as soon as someone cares that'll get cleaned up). You can run your own Personal Data Server and hook it in to the bsky network and then everyone can see your posts and interact with them. It's newer, only a couple years old, but all the right parts are headed in the right direction.
Can you find positions for experienced developers that does not involve some sort of coding step provided by the company? Take home projects, live coding, coding-specific questions, etc?

I’ve done over 40 interviews in the last 12 months, only one of them were even willing to make that step either optional or replace with something else that would better demonstrate my skills.

Every company treats me like a fraud until I pass their stinky coding challenge.
In module theory, which is a bit close to ZX, category theory gets used in a big way to calculate things: See left/right exact functors, co/contravariant functors, derived functors, the hom-tensor adjunction, etc.

Using a domain every second year in that environment would get it a gradually raising rank where it isn't penalized/sanitized (by accident, on principle, etc) so every restart after a $30 pause year would be much more effective than a new domain.

If it's instantly released, then yes. But in this thread are reports where the offensive actions happened 15 years ago. After such a long time of "good behavior" it makes no sense for me to still keep the domain blocked/downranked.
> The issue is that, at a certain scale, the risk of simply having an action be a net negative may be worth the potential upside

I agree there, but if you're going to come up with a system of fines to incentivize not breaking the law, it needs to make sense.

Just making it a huge numbers is likely to not even pass muster in the courts.

A $10B company paying a $1B fine for sending out spam mail to 10 customers would be seen as "cruel and unusual punishment".
That I agree might put more skin in the game, but I don't think it would drive up performance.

Imagine you offer a scaled down version for an office job. Do you think you will get better candidates and performance? Candidates would avoid it like the plague and you would be left with crazy gamblers or those with nothing to lose.

You compete for talent with making good offers, not terrible ones.
It reminds me of when I built an open source, fully decentralized exchange and the founders of the project I worked for tried to shut it down. I quit the industry because there were too many government and possibly intelligence agency shenanigans going on. In such environment, you start becoming paranoid. I had enough of the senseless politics, sabotage, deception, corruption, etc...
Yes. I think this could work too. But at the pan-national level, multi-stakeholder-ism has carved out a distinct niche for tech bodies, groupings, alongside civil society and government.

This view that technocrats should decide governance matters alongside other groups sometimes concerns me. This dreadful naivete that "apply more technology" fixes social problems while we seem to ignore it causes as many as it fixes.

When it comes to regulation, tech sector voices universally decry it. Industry self-regulation is worrisome in every other sector, so why do we think not in ours?

Not that government regulation (cryptography, anonymity) is ideal either.

I get that people don't like Elon because he's a bit autistic and espouses political views that are unpopular on this platform, but if you can't acknowledge Elon's business acumen and technical vision, I feel like you aren't a serious person. He co-founded Paypal, SpaceX, and OpenAI (3 of the most influential companies of our time), has been the CEO of Tesla (the world's leading EV company) since before they were shipping product, and has arguably made Twitter exactly what he set out to -- an uncensored social media platform. I haven't had any problems with it, and he's substantially reduced its net operating less at the cost of lower revenue, mostly as a result of politics.

3 of his companies are HARD technology companies and basically the 3 most influential companies in the world today. Founded or co-founded 4 of the most significant organizations in the country. There is no one else in recent history who even comes close to his level of accomplishment. And you're telling me Elon's only notable skill is marketing and getting lucky with his executive hiring. Come on.

>Mandating equality by removing opportunity only obscures the metrics. This is a hack to avoid accountability--if there's no data showing inequality then surely there is no inequality.

In this case it's actually worse than that. They're not just covering up metrics, they're actively making smarter people worse off. It's like Kurt Vonnegut's fictional dystopia where the government makes equal by handicapping the people who are better.

That's an IP packet. There's no such thing as "TCP packets".

IP packets can encapsulate various things depending on how you set their protocol fields. But packets are not TCP. This is quite straightforward. It simply has to do with distinct PDU nomenclature at each layer.

You can have Ethernet frames carrying IP packets too, but they are not "Ethernet packets"; that would be absurd.

It comes from the people who don't know what an algorithm is but heard that Twitter has it and it's making them doomscroll so it's bad

Law and Govs are not so bad that we should get rid of it. They do add value to society compared to a fully lawless anarchic community/tools/etc. There is a place where freedom does have to stop and trespassing that frontier will have consequences.

We don't need to through all our laws and Gov (especially in Western countries where really it's not so bad). But instead, we need better law, law enforcement, etc... The key part is it's up to us to fight for it.
That doesn't logically follow at all.

We're "here without an endorsement" because the media machine decides to talk about it, not because it's significant.

This fundamentally doesn't work because internet is not something existing in a vacuum - you need wires, fibers and servers to make it work, and those are located in somebodies jurisdiction.

The willingness to transmit encrypted data exists for now in most countries, but would some kind of fully encrypted ungovernable internet take hold, that may rapidly change.

As with DeFi, some problems cannot be solved by technology, they must be solved in courts, parliaments and in elections - at least where it's possible to do so.
The war is great for the USA in almost every possible way. New NATO members, Better military positions, Sanctions on Russia and weakened economy, Europe is finally spending money on military, the list goes on.

If the war goes on for another 10 years, it would be a blessing.

Which part is confusing you? Anyone who is Pro-USA and anti-Russia should be for it, and for dragging it out as long as possible.

Thus, it is not surprising that the US took the actions within its control to bring it about, and then trickle funds Ukraine to draw it out as long as possible.

It is the military deal of the Century. We spent 2.5 Trillion dollars on Iraq(in 2014 prices) and look what we got. Ukraine has only cost ~175 billion, and most of that money is spent to buy US weapons.

I used to wake up before school, dump my entire stack of gold on the GE for bones (just the regular ones) at a few gp below average price. By the end of the day the order would usually be fulfilled. Then I'd dump them back on the market at a few gp above average price and it would be fulfilled by the morning.

Most days it would net me a small profit, ocasionally prices would fall slightly throughout the day and I'd lose a little, but equally some days it would rise and I'd make extra.

I ultimately came to the conclusion that both those who advocated for the fediverse as a Twitter replacement and those who complained that it was inadequate as a Twitter replacement were both wrong.

It’s not that complicated either:

> One has to actually take care to ensure this.

Yes, but not more complex than eating the perfect omnivorous diet, which nobody does. Do you precisely count your omegas intake? Your daily ratio of carbs/protein/fat…? Some nutrition aficionados do, but the vast majority of the population (rich and poor) does not.

If you find the studies you remember please share them. Iron deficiency is a very common anemia, not only for vegans or poor countries.

On the supplement, it’s interesting to note that most cattle and other farms animals are heavely supplemented so they stay relatively healthy during life and their future flesh has the nutriments expected.

Honest question: Is this satire?
I can think of code examples in the documentation. At least you make sure the code is executed or even check the output of the examples.
NixOS is a terrible solution rather than a reproducible one. Adding a layer of complexity to simple text files that can be easily edited and having thousands of links that are links to other links is just stupid. Filling up disk space like crazy and using more machine resources on trivial tasks is not an elegant solution. Editing configuration.nix or any other module, reading all the idiotic variable definitions that were invented to change a simple variable in a text file, is boring.

I don't know what the Nix designer (NixOS) had in mind when they thought that putting layer upon layer of complexity was a great solution. If something goes wrong in NixOS at the bottom layer, the nixos-rebuild command will produce weird errors. NixOS is an effort to make Linux complex and, in my opinion, useless. I could go on listing the shortcomings of NixOS, but I'll stop here...
A generic structure is not a notation. XML or S-expressions are a generic structure. A good practical test that shows limitations of this approach would be to try to write something like a picture description similar to Pikchr (PIC). It is possible, but the result will be far more verbose and obtuse than what you get with a real grammar and parser in Pikchr.
I know Linux since Slackware 2, have lost count of how many distributions I have tried since that 1995's Summer, and still see no point on bothering with NixOS.

EDIT: As usual in some Linux forums, I got a bunch of marketing replies about all the cool ideas NixOS is supposed to bring as if I haven't read about them myself in LWN and other Linux sources I routinely check on.

It is nice to see more ORMs, but inventing a new file format and language `toasty` isn't my cup of tea. I'd rather define the models in Rust and let the generator emit more Rust files.

Creating your own file format is always difficult. Now, you have to come up with syntax highlighting, refactoring support, go to definition, etc. When I prototype, I tend to rename a lot of my columns and move them around. That is when robust refactoring support, which the language's own LSP already provides, is beneficial, and this approach throws them all away.
I haven't moved any goal posts. I stand by them.

> Under the CMF, Conrad wrote, California schools are encouraged, but not required, to delay Algebra I until ninth grade—

Where in the framework is this? The closest I can find to this is a reference in the high school section of the framework referencing a time in the last when California schools did more to push students to accelerate courses in middle school than they do currently, and negative research about about the impact of that effort on what students ended up completing.

But nowhere in either the Middle School or High School sections which discuss the issue of acceleration is there any language encouraging delaying Algebra I/Math I to ninth grade.

This particular complaint seems to be literally people inventing something that is not in the document to be mad about.

> meaning that students would be unable to take Calculus as seniors without doubling up on math classes or taking extra classes during the summer.

That's not true; the CMF includes an trig-inclusive Algebra II which can directly be followed by Calculus; taking a Precalculus course in between would be a slow path. Algebra I-Geometry-Algebra II-Calculus or Math I-Math II-Math III-Calculus is fairly explicitly envisioned as a normal and encouraged four year sequence for students planning STEM majors in the Framework, though taking a Precalculus course after it is also envisioned as a possible sequence.
Ever since I started using Zig, making everything reproducible has never been as easy as just using the Zig build system.
I tend to agree. I was thinking last night that all elections should be write-in only. You want to vote for someone to fill an office, you have to write their name. This would change the entire system because you wouldn't be able to vote party in ten seconds flat. The propaganda and parties and grift are so cemented in that making party-line voting difficult seems like a logical first step. Ranked choice wouldn't hurt either.
I would not jump to the conclusion solely based on isotope signatures. A decade or so ago, a prominent Chinese professor Weidong Sun specialized in geochemistry analyzed the ancient bronze artifacts dated back to the Shang dynasty and found isotope signatures pointing to a Mediterranean origin, and he had to answer that. Well there can be several explanations, for example, the Shang people traded with central Asian tribes and got the ores and perhaps the bronze smelting tech too. But Sun, based on some ancient documents on some mythical long travel of the ancestors of the Shang people, concluded that the only reasonable explanation is that the Shang people are offsprings of those tribes, who are offsprings of the Sumerian people.
