Isn't Bernie overall quite good for the party? Isn't having a president of your party in office good for your party? Seems like cutting off their nose to spite their face for the Democratic Party to shun him.
> What, uh, do they think they're going to do?

They published a charter. They're going to establish guidelines for sustainable web development and tools for measuring your impact. Yes, static architectures will probably be one path for improvement.

> There will always be competing interests, so a body that only exists to checks notes talk about ""sustainability"" on the web feels moot.

I'm not following this point. The existence of entrenched interests means that no opposing interests should be researched? Why is "sustainability" in quotes, is it not a legitimate pursuit, or are you implying that they have ulterior motives?

Hardware is out of scope "unless related to hosting & infrastructure," AKA the cloud. That is an absolutely massive scope within the hardware realm.

It sounds like you're looking for the guidelines that this group aims to publish. A manifesto in this context is not intended to be a solution or a prescription; it's a framework for alignment towards a goal. The concrete solutions are the goal of the group.

Yes, there have also been Chinese "police stations" in Canada. In its November 2023 Interim Report of the Special Committee on the Canada–People’s Republic of China Relationship for Canada's parliament [1], investigators detailed how the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has established unauthorized "police service stations" in major Canadian cities - at least 3 in Greater Toronto, 2 in Vancouver, and potentially 2 more in Montreal/Brossard. While branded as administrative service centers, these stations are reportedly part of a broader transnational repression apparatus.

What makes this particularly concerning is their alleged connection to the United Front Work Department (UFWD), the CCP's primary foreign interference arm. Most operators are local residents with established community connections and long-term involvement in influence operations, making them more effective than parachuted-in agents.

The RCMP has launched investigations and taken some interesting tactical approaches - including deliberately visible patrols with marked cars to encourage reporting and show community members they're taking action. However, investigations are described as "lengthy" and no arrests have been made yet.

The parliamentary committee seems to view this as part of a broader pattern of increasing transnational repression under Xi Jinping. According to Safeguard Defenders' testimony, there were at least 11,000 "successful persuasion to return" operations globally between 2014-2022, with at least 3 confirmed cases in Canada.

What's particularly striking is that these stations operate quite brazenly in G7 countries. It's a remarkable example of how authoritarian states are becoming increasingly bold in projecting power within democratic societies. The Canadian government has formally demanded the PRC cease these activities as violations of diplomatic conventions, but enforcement remains challenging.

The report suggests several countermeasures, including a foreign agent registry (currently defined in Bill C-70 [2]) and modernizing the 1984 CSIS Act, but the most interesting recommendation might be the call for coordinated frameworks among democratic allies to address transnational repression more systematically.

Check to see if there is a community maker-space in your area - including libraries & universities. One of the benefits of using those machines are that they are well-maintained and frequently used & tuned. Also, you can meet other 3D printing experts who can help you with any project - its a good vibe, and a great way to get back into making without a large investment...

I'm not sure how true that first statement is anymore. Most of the recommendations I see now are "just get a Bambu labs one". We are much closer to 3D printing as a utility as opposed to 3D printing as a hobby than we were ~3 years ago.
Spending money at a restaurant that is on the stock market helps those with stock. Spending money at a local restaurant helps the local community. Restaurants on the stock exchange actually symphony out money from the local economy. The stock market is not an overall indication of a good local economy.

I upvoted you for taking the time to answer me. Thank you

> It's a 1/1 increase, you're just implying that it would take five employees an hour to make one burger. If five employees each make $1/hour more then that restaurant has to cover an additional cost of $5/hour, not $5/burger. But that whole $5 is coming from somewhere, and restaurants are notoriously competitive businesses, so that somewhere is liable to be from customers.

I don’t mean to drag this on, I just want to end saying I’m not implying 5 people are needed to make a burger. I’m saying that increasing wages for 5 employees by a $1 doesn’t increase the cost of an individual good (burger) sold to customers by $5 so the burden to the customer to support this new paradigm is negligible, especially at the volume of goods being sold. It is not a death knell to the business as it is sometimes painted.

Yes the 5$ is made up somewhere, either in cutting costs elsewhere, increasing sales or increasing prices. They may already be making numbers that would support an increased wage without any changes to those things.

I accept that you may still disagree with me but I wanted to make my position clear.

They buried the lede. This is story about testing people who work in dairy farming, and finding out that a small number of people had inconsequential infections.

For those who will surely try, you can't just divide 8 (number of infections) by 115 (total population tested) and use that proportion for anything. The error bars are large (specifically, using Fisher's Exact, from 3% to 13%).

Edit: while the original Stat title is atrocious clickbait, a truly non-fear-mongering title would be something like "Asymptomatic bird flu infections in a small sample of farm workers"

> how does bluesky solve the problem of building your castle in another man's kingdom?

Bluesky (the platform) doesn't, and they acknowledge that. It's centrally owned, and is prone to all of the risks that any other centralized platform offers.

> if I do something controversial or using regulatory arbitrage, I'm interested in how AT is useful for managing that risk.

AT is completely decentralized, like email.

If your account is @motohagiography.example.com, other AT instances will make a DNS query to example.com to see if that has an entry that the AT protocol recognizes. If so, it will make a connection to that instance, and gather your content for display.

However, if a particular instance sees their a volume of unwanted accounts from example.com, they could blacklist that domain from interacting with their instance, so, even with this setup, you are at the mercy of the "big players" respecting you — just like if you try to send email to users using Gmail and Google decides you're suspect.

And, if you violate the laws of where you're located, law enforcement will handle that the same as they would if you violating the laws over HTTP or over email.

The Trump trade is soaring as bitcoin, dollar, bond yields surge
https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/trump-trade-...

The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield climbed as much as 21 basis points to 4.48%, the highest since early July. The two-year yield — the most directly sensitive to Fed monetary-policy changes — gained nine basis points to reach 4.27%.

The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index was up as much as 1.7%, the most in four years, hitting its highest level since November 2023. The greenback climbed against every G10 currency, including gains exceeding 1.7% against both the euro and yen.

The S&P 500, Dow Jones industrial average, and Nasdaq 100 climbed to fresh record highs.

Founder and CEO Elon Musk has been an outspoken Trump supporter. Shares of Tesla spiked as much as 15% on Wednesday on expectations the electric automaker will be a major beneficiary of Trump's presidential return.

Why is it we continually have to have this class warfare? Its not just the ultra wealthy benefiting here, its everybody. Whatever happened to the "rising tides lift all boats" mantra?

Isn't that GOOD thing regardless of what party he represents? Its just unreal people continually cannot see the forest for the trees.

> They are used in the context of providing time to decide if you want to make the irreversible decision.

That is the claim made by proponents of this treatment, but the evidence base for this is remarkably weak.

Recently, the Cass Review examined the available research and concluded that "the most significant knowledge gaps are in relation to treatment with puberty blockers, and the lack of clarity about whether the rationale for prescription is as an initial part of a transition pathway or as a 'pause' to allow more time for decision making."

Even more concerning, they make the point that there is "no way of knowing whether, rather than buying time to make a decision, puberty blockers may disrupt that decision-making process."

The Review further explains that there are indications that brain maturation may be disrupted by puberty blockers, meaning this could be a significant factor in reducing the ability of the individual to reach such a decision, due to the potential of causing neurocognitive deficits.

Because of all this, puberty blockers are actually banned in the UK now for this purpose, except when being offered under a strictly controlled research protocol.
I bought a MagSafe charger for my iPhone to keep at my desk. It’s very convenient, I love it.
I've been using Codebuff (formerly manicode) for a few weeks. I think they have nailed the editing paradigm and I'm using it multiple times a day.

If you want to make a multi-file edit in cursor, you open composer, probably have to click to start a new composer session, type what you want, tell it which files it needs to include, watch it run through the change (seeing only an abbreviated version of the changes it makes), click apply all, then have to go and actually look at the real diff.

With codebuff, you open codebuff in terminal and just type what you want, and it will scan the whole directory to figure out which files to include. Then you can see the whole diff. It's way cleaner and faster for making large changes. Because it can run terminal commands, it's also really good at cleaning up after itself, e.g., removing files, renaming files, installing dependencies, etc.

Both tools need work in terms of reliability, but the workflow with Codebuff is 10x better.
> What do you think Japan should do to encourage Japanese language learning among immigrants?

It really boggles my mind how many immigrants to a place (because it doesn't just happen in Japan) are fine not trying to learn the language, especially if the place doesn't even understand the languages you know. You'd think living in such a place would be enough encouragement (it certainly would be for me), but I keep seeing stories about immigrants in several places not bothering to learn a common language of where they live.

My take would be they are pricing in the likely currency expansion that Trump and his ilk will perform. Last time before the pandemic the money supply increased roughly 16% over four years.

Basically they're pricing in cheap money.

A useful mental model for AT is the web:

* Your PDS is like your own website.

* Bluesky is like a search engine.

* plc.directory is like DNS.

If you choose to have someone host your own web site, then it's up to them what happens to it. You're using their servers after all. If you have your own host, you get to decide what happens there.

Likewise, a search engine can say "hey, I don't like what's happening on that website, so I won't surface it in results," but they cannot shut your website down.

Now, the only twist here is that currently, atproto is kind of like if there was only one real DNS server, and it was also owned by your search engine. That is, BlueSky the company runs plc.directory. So in the maximal sense, "if you run your own server" is technically "and you only get an IP address, not a domain name," that is, if plc.directory decides to unlist you, then folks can't find your posts. There is an alternative to plc.directory, but basically nobody actually uses it at the moment.

Okay, so on a technical level, that's the rough explanation. On the social level:

Here's what they have to say: https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/atproto#speech-re...

> Atproto's model is that speech and reach should be two separate layers, built to work with each other. The “speech” layer should remain permissive, distributing authority and designed to ensure everyone has a voice. The “reach” layer lives on top, built for flexibility and designed to scale.

> The base layer of atproto (personal data repositories and federated networking) creates a common space for speech where everyone is free to participate, analogous to the Web where anyone can put up a website. The indexing services then enable reach by aggregating content from the network, analogous to a search engine.

On the PDSes that Bluesky hosts, they will remove illegal content, but nothing else. That's the "speech" part. However, they do moderate Bluesky itself, and there's a gradient there: they will remove some things, they will also tag some things, allowing users to decide if they want to see it or not.

As far as the "DNS problem," they've stated that they wish to move it into an external foundation, to build additional safeguards there. I personally believe them, because they have promised many things, including things that have reduced their own power and control over the network, many times, and then followed through. You can choose to believe them or not, or wait until it's the case before getting invovled.
