Those who don't want to confront this painful aspect of Australia's terrible history tend to want to muddy the waters, but those of us who actually suffered under the forced human trafficking regime that was official Australian government policy see things a lot more clearly...
I eventually had to mark the Red Cross as spam. They did not honor repeated unsubscribe requests.

If somebody I've done business with is sending me emails that I don't want, I'll use the unsubscribe button. They nearly always honor that (probably because they use an email provider that does the work). I consider it no harm and no foul.

But it's no surprise that some people just click "report spam" and be done with it. One would hope that GMail, etc are aware of that.

How is it complex or intrusive? We’re almost already completely there via various electronic payment methods linked to each individuals’ tax ID#.

You would no longer have to give out your tax ID# to employers or customers. The electronic payment company (which should be a government utility, but that’s a different conversation) simply reports your purchases, just like we do with various 1099/W-2 forms right now.

Apple photos is my privacy first social network. I have "shared albums" with my families, different friend/hobby groups. There is an activity feed so whenever someone shares a photo I get a notification, can like like, comment. It just has the basic features and works really well. Here's the thing, I pay $40 a month for the icloud bundle. So technically they've monetized it already. I've always wondered if others use it similarly...
You answered "why I'm building it" but not "why you should join".
Got so far, but what does the tool do?
> couldn't this, at least in theory, also be implemented in a way that's not so dystopian?

It depends on the assumptions you're willing to make.

Imagine if Australia introduces a block that works really well, and preserves privacy, but you can bypass it by using a VPN, or by rooting your phone.

Would that be good enough, because only 1% of kids will figure out those bypasses? Or will the knowledge spread like wildfire until 90% of kids are using VPNs or rooting their phones?

If you assume such bypasses would spread like wildfire, Australia would also need to block all VPNs or make every phone impossible to root. Tough to do that in a way that isn't dystopian.
It makes sense to me now, waving the same colour flag makes you allies, so to speak. Or money.
The power law formula already skews the tax rate. There’s no need to further skew it with tax credits or other complications. If you want to adjust tax rates, simply modify the curve of the power law formula so that a given level of spending is taxed a lower or higher rate.
On the flip side dsl declarative stuff is obfuscated magic that you can't step through or drive into.

a dsl like SQL involves one basic substrate (data organized in tables) that you can compile in your head. But declarative infra as code involves a thousand different things across a dozen different clouds.

Declarative will hold off spaghetti for... A bit. But it devolves to spaghetti as well (think fine grained acls, or places where order of operations, which the dsl does not specify and is magically resolved, becomes ambiguous).

And if you need to go off the reservation (dsl support doesn't exist or is immature for rapidly evolving platforms, need some custom postprocess steps) then you are... What?

Probably writing code and scripts to autoinvoke on the new node, phone home to a central.... Yup that's code.

Finally, declarative code has an implicit execution loop. But for something like iac that is a very complicated, the execution loop that isn't well documented. And some committed changes to declarative code May trigger a destructive pass followed by a possibly broken constructive phase.

It's a tough problem.
I'd be more worried about how you're going to pay for it than anything else. If the revenue is not from ads how are you funding it? Especially if it becomes a hit.

Prediction Markets for the Win
It brings up a lot of the fascinating dynamics around in-game economies, which are a huge part of games like World of Warcraft. In my years playing WoW, I’ve seen the impact that WoW gold has on the game and on player behavior. Gold is a central resource—players need it to upgrade gear, buy consumables for raiding, and even purchase mounts and special items that make the game more enjoyable.

The WoW economy has grown into a complex system, with many players focusing on gold farming as their main in-game activity. Some players enjoy the challenge of working the Auction House, where they can make impressive profits by buying low and selling high. Others go for more traditional methods, like farming herbs or rare resources in high-demand areas. The introduction of the WoW Token changed the landscape, too, allowing players to convert real money into gold, which added a new dimension to the economy.

What’s fascinating is how WoW’s economy mirrors real-world economic principles. Supply and demand, inflation, and market manipulation all exist in this virtual space. This has led to the rise of gold-selling websites and services, despite Blizzard’s efforts to discourage real-money transactions outside the WoW Token. The availability of WoW gold for purchase (https://wowvendor.com/shop/wow-gold/) has been a subject of debate, as it impacts both casual and hardcore players differently. Some argue it provides accessibility, while others think it undermines the game's challenges and economy.

Overall, it’s amazing to see how virtual economies in games like WoW have developed to the point where they can be studied and analyzed like real-world markets. This article brings to light how these systems can influence player behavior and the game’s overall experience. WoW’s economy remains a unique example of how players engage with and influence an online world.
Well, I was asked what I would do, and what I would do is...

Instead of supporting videos and memes and trying to compete with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Tumblr, Bluesky, Mastodon, Reddit and EVEN IMGUR

I'd focus on images and then my only competitor would be Pinterest, and I wouldn't have to deal with all the complexity that comes with supporting video.

What do you think "real" understanding is?

To me, if something can map some modality (the word "horse", a picture of a horse, ...) into corresponding representation in its internal semantic space then I'm fine to say it "understood" that. There are varying degrees to how useful an understanding is (does the semantic space link related concepts closely together? can it be used to reason, extract information, and make predictions?).
I agree with others whom see the identification problem. But I also think that it is a right step on the way to help improve the current situation

Well, they're paying for ads with the knockoffs because (ironically) instagram et. al. won't run their ads because they're "bad for users."

Except that monorepos are just as capable of identifying and gatekeeping those spaces as separate repos are. If you aren't going to use those gatekeeping mechanisms in a mono repo I doubt that the quality of your separate repo codebases are going to be any better. You can't solve this problem with technology it's a cultural issue and like all cultural issues any technical constraints you put in place to control it will be just be worked around in ways that make the problem worse not better.
Yep! You and I don't disagree. I think Trump has been extremely lucky, first in running against Clinton with a late assist from Comey, and now running against the pandemic recovery. But those lucky breaks have also made his vitriol a big part of our politics, which is a shame.

Child birth is a small fraction of the cost.

The real costs add up in the 40 hour work week. School, daycare, and even the legal frameworks those operate in are intended for at least one parent to live close to the child and work at most part time.

By and large millennials in the US were the first generation where both parents were raised to work for a variety of good reasons. How many jobs really let parents cut out at 4 to commute home for a 5pm pickup?

Now consider the childcare and opportunity costs of raising children.
He and his family certainly would if all they can afford to make it a special weekend is plastic crap from the dollar shop.

The real concern isn't that consumerism is threaten, as you seem to indicate that could be a good thing in fact.

I consider the U.S slowly becoming 19th century China.

I would like to remain positive but it might even be worse.

Globalisation, the U.S economy has been relying on developing countries to provide raw and finished produce. Not only de-industrialized, the population suffers from some superiority complex that makes it even hard to accept it may have to learn how to work and make stuff.

What's unique about this product compared to other competitors like getwaitlist.com?
There are no roads or railroads between China and US so the bulk efficiency by ship can not be directly compared. The first rule in decreasing emissions are reduce, so reducing the need to transport goods half way around the world are an effective measure against emissions.

Ship fuel (also called bunker fuel) is the dirties form of fuel there is and goes way beyond CO2 emissions. It is heavily contaminated and because of incomplete combustion it contribute heavily to pollution in water, atmosphere, and coast cities. The environmental impacts of heavy fuel oil spills also converts the ships into mobile nature disasters. The costs from oil spills generally spills over to society and people who live near the cost, rather than being carried by the shipping company. Collecting the real cost of that risk should be part of the product price when importing goods.

Tariffs are fungible, so the same tariffs could be used for the purpose of protectionism, geo-political stability, CO2 emissions in transportation, CO2 emissions in production, oil spill insurance costs, air/water pollution, regulative differences in worker rights, or differences in product safety. It can make the market competition more fair or unfair, and depending on what goals one have the definition of fair and unfair will likely change. People who lean both left and right can find arguments both in favor and against, likely at the same time given the fungible nature of tariffs.

Thus if one want to look at it on the bright side, pick the benefits of the political goals that talks to you.
I'd much, much prefer Aide to continue as a CLI tool or as a VSCode plugin. Every fork of VSCode ends up with IDE maintenance bugs that never get addressed and slowly the effort implodes as the bug surface becomes too wide.

From the client side. You can’t know what it should be like without knowing the client.

I’m sure there are lots of DO clients seeing the same things we did, but not realizing it.

We did see it (multiple DCs—we didn’t just not try to fix this before going to AWS) in multiple cases with tens of clients so if there’s good news it’s that if you can monitor like 100 clients distributed over a wide area and all of them behave as expected you may not be experiencing what we did. What we saw was closer to 5% with absurd slowness or frequently-dropped connections than to 0.01%.

And if you are just operating a website and sticking Cloudflare or whatever in front of DO anyway, this doesn’t matter. I expect that’s why it’s not a more widely-reported issue.

Best of luck with you on this endeavor.

Regarding getting celebrities and influencers, you're going to have to pick from a group of people who are either highly tolerant of seeing their content next to, say, something really odious, or are already considered persona non grata. I'm certain you understand the reasons for this, so let me jump straight to my suggestions:

1. Work on a federated model a la bluesky that is censorship-proof but highly customizable so that people can form up around content they want to see and content they one (this is a very hard balance)

2. Be 'free speech friendly' and accept the fact that you may have to censor, but just be transparent about it. One of the biggest problems with censorship on the bigs is that its opaque, inconsistent, and nonsensical and hurts people who have no idea what they're doing or why it's 'inconsistent with Meta's values' or what the fuck ever.

You are opening a can of worms but its also a much-needed alternative so I wish you the best of luck.

> look, you've probably never listened to more than 5 unfiltered minutes of him speaking

I have all the god damned time. He was president for 4 years! I had to! (At least as someone who tried to follow the news then, it was unavoidable.) Most recent time I listened to him for an extended period was during the debates, where I watched the whole thing uninterrupted. We can get into the whole eating dogs thing but I'm sure you're tired of it by now.

> Imagine a friend of yours saying something like what he said

I would think they're pretty dumb, but I'd brush it off and still be friends with them.

But here's the thing: my friends aren't president of the united states. I believe we should hold him to a higher standard, especially in the beginning of a pandemic when misinformation was rampant and it was very important we didn't hear nonsense like this from our president. The whole "people say shit like that all the time" trope is the exact problem I have with trump and his supporters. I don't want our president to have the intelligence level of a typical "friend" who thinks putting bleach in your body might be a good way to fight an infection.

You've been sharing this exact narrative all over the thread, which makes me think that you aren't really replying to my comment so much as you're just finding any pretense to share this same opinion again.

> The sentiment is Republicans are focused on winning while Democrats are focused on a deeply unpopular corporate-imperialist political project and scolding people into voting for them.

In the U.S. we are, for all practical purposes, stuck with two choices. Some people will vote for one side, while some people with vote against the other side. But, here you're claiming that people are voting for Republicans because they like them and people are voting for Democrats because they are being "scolded" into it. That is just you superimposing your opinion/analysis on to things. The only objective measure is that, until this election, Democrats consistently got more votes than Republicans. Period. You can read whatever tarot cards and tea leaves you want to figure out why.

Let's get this straight. Voters in states that are being run by Republicans feel the need to take things into their own hands by going around their elected officials to implement progressive policies, like higher minimum wages. Voters in states that are being run by Democrats have NOT felt the need to add minimum wage increases to their constitutions.

And your conclusion from these facts is that it's the Democrats that don't care about increasing the minimum wage? Are you kidding? I think there's a MUCH more obvious interpretation here, and it's NOT that the Republican party is somehow in a more popular position when it comes to progressive policies...

This may be news to you, but human language is often nuanced and indirect. It is a perfectly reasonable short-hand to say that he hates immigrants when his political career was launched on painting them as criminals, drug dealers, and rapists.

Wireshark has a similar feature where you can open an ELF, or PNG and look at the sections. The LUA interface isn't to shabby either to write such "dissectors".

if you are forced to work on a day off you have a right to get a free day within two weeks. the maximum worktime in a week is 48 hours.

same goes for the mother with children. childcare is an absolute right that can't be denied or lead to a disadvantage. the above behavior would be illegal, and it would be quite easy to put a stop to it.

so none of your scenarios would come to pass. except the first one maybe, because that can be compensated with extra days off after the sprint.
