For people unfamiliar with this topic, it is commonly referred to as "Turnkey Tyranny".

It is about the belief that you "don't give Mr Rogers any power you wouldn't give to Hitler." Basically no matter how great you think your current leader is, you recognize that they will not be in power forever (or that they may not be good forever). Democracy, autocracy, oligarchy, whatever your system of government, there is a singular truth: all men die. All things change. Obviously this policy can go too far, but personally I think it is worth considering not just how good a policy or power can be, but how much harm it can do if abused or misused. It is easy to ignore this part because we want to believe people are good and have good intentions. Because we see the advantages and get excited about them. Because it is harder to think about abstract scenarios. But it is an important thing to think. You need not think your government is evil or nefarious to still be concerned with turnkey tyranny. In fact, the more faith you have in your government, the more you should be concerned. Because it is at that time that people are less likely to keep their guards up, and it is that same time that hostile actors look to take over. There is no absolute defense against malicious leaders, so it takes constant care.

To the people who work on C++ standards: I approve of the current C++ trajectory and please ignore all of the online noise about "the future of C++." To anyone that disagrees severely with the C++ trajectory as stated, please just consider another language, e.g. Rust. I don't want static lifetime checking in C++ and if you want static lifetime checking, please use Rust. I am not a government contractor, if you are a government contractor who must meet bureaucratic risk-averse government requirements, please use Rust. I have an existing development process that works for me and my customers, I have no significant demand for lifetime checking. If your development process is shiny and new and necessitates lifetime checking, then please use Rust. To Rust advocates, you can have the US government and big tech. You can even have Linux. Just leave my existing C++ process alone. It works and the trade offs we have chosen efficiently accomplish our goals.
> Wasn't there a shareholder suite that alleged the directors aren't independent because of the above-standard Tesla options they receive?

Has a court accepted that argument? I mean, you can come up with all sorts of grounds to claim an independent director isn’t really independent, but unless a court with jurisdiction accepts the argument, it doesn’t really count for anything.
If we only do a little bit, we'll only accomplish a little bit.
If you view the utility function of the modern geopolitics as keeping the maximum number of people safe, then reducing the number of entities with control of nuclear technology is the optimal approach, with the cost of smaller nations being sacrificed for the "Greater Good".
You are right right now. It remains to be seen if you are right forever. When have humans not done the stupidest thing possible that is available to them?

To your first question, I wonder what the outcome would have been if Ukraine had nuclear weapons? Ukraine and Russia just unloading on each other? This question isn't rhetorical or sarcastic, I don't know.

Here's one metric that matters – revenue per user. Bluesky's is, I assume, zero, and soon that will have to change. Threads meanwhile has the largest social media ads and monetization platform in the world behind it ready to make the dollars flow at the push of a button.
The reason that peer-to-peer tools tend not to work well behind NAT is because peers can't initiate inbound connections to you.

So your router gets 1.2.3.4 as an external IP. And it assigns you 192.168.1.10 as an internal IP, and handles NAT for your outbound connections. You start your torrent client and it advertises "hey, I have all these Linux ISOs, and I'm at 1.2.3.4:50000, come connect to me". Peers try to connect to 1.2.3.4:50000, and your router says "who the hell is this".

This is what UPNP and related tools attempt to solve. UPNP works by allowing your computer to say to your router "hey, I'm going to want inbound connections on port 50000, so if you get any, send them to me".

Other methods like STUN/TURN/etc use different techniques to get around the issue.

This is Chen, founder of DROP. I've been plugging away at this project for over six months now. We managed to secure funding, which was a huge relief. You see, I had a previous startup called cowtransfer.com. It was a file transfer gig, kind of like WeTransfer. I had a good run with it, but in 2021, I decided to sell it and move on.

Now, jumping back into the digital assets arena was like starting from scratch.

I kept asking myself, what does the AI creative industry really hunger for? How can AI swoop in and make their creative content production process a breeze? I mean, it's like trying to solve a jigsaw puzzle with a blindfold on.

And I've come to the conclusion that assets are the heart and soul of this AI - driven world. It's like the secret sauce that makes everything click. We're on a wild ride here, trying to figure out how to build a platform that not only stores and manages these precious assets but also supercharges the creative process. It's a tall order, but I'm up for the challenge, armed with a bit of hope and a whole lot of caffeine.

Yes, Moore was extremely hated in America for the film, but his closing quote has essentially defined the modern day America's isolationist movement:

"The people who have the least, who suffer the most, are always the first to stand up to defend that very system. And all they ask us in return is that we never send them in harms way unless it's absolutely necessary. Now, they may never trust us again."
I personally know many k8s experts that vehemently recommend against using it unless you have no other option.
Great questions!

We opted not to use oxygen sensors because they tend to be less reliable, require frequent calibration, and are significantly more expensive. Instead, we focus exclusively on TVOCs, as the technology is more advanced and offers a broader view of compost activity. During our early design stages, we found TVOCs correlate well with microbial activity, much like oxygen, while also capturing changes in the pile that oxygen levels alone might not immediately reveal.

The most obvious reason, in my mind, is that merely proposing a decision is enough to be a problem. Suggesting we're killing a project a dev has spent months on, or moving someone to another team, or saying we'll miss a major KPI, or not promoting someone aren't things you can have a public full-team review on. Just knowing the manager was considering it is enough to upset people.

If someone writes code that has an error in it, you maybe think a bit worse of them, but it's a learning opportunity and that's what the review is for. If your manager suggests a course of action that you deeply disagree with, that's hard for them to come back from.
Depends, the 'can you' (or 'can I get') phrasing appears to be a USA English thing.

Managers often expect subordinates to just know what they mean, but checking instructions and requirements is usually essential and imo is a mark of a good worker.

"Can you dispose of our latest product in a landfill"...

Generally in UK, unless the person is a major consumer of USA media, "can you" is an enquiry as to capability or whether an action is within the rules.

IME. YMMV.
I think it’s important to note that Kazakhstan wasn’t just strongarmed into this. Public sentiment was very much against nuclear weapons in Kazakhstan in 1991. The Semipalatinsk test site ruined the health of so many Kazakhs, that there was a consequential anti nuke movement right as the country suddenly had independence. Maybe in hindsight it was a bad geostrategic decision (although KZ is doing fine right now), but the Kazakhs just wanted nukes out, and the US was happy to take them.
Your argument is in support of mine. Separate networks are an interesting legal and software engineering detail, but from the POV of the user, as long as they see what they want to see, they will stay with the network.

> can CTE's be used to make time series range queries easier / more performant?

On their own, I'd guess likely not a lot. If a view would help, a CTE will help similarly without needing the external structure, if a correlated subquery would help, then yes similarly, especially if the pattern is repeated in the overall query.

In conjunction with other things (good indexing, materialised sequences ("numbers" tables), etc.), is guess yes.

Though you need to be much more specific about your data and the queries in question before I can do better than these vague guesses.
The "echo chamber" argument really doesn't speak to me because all I want is a place where I can get timely updates about: people in my research field, pictures of cute dogs, and municipal government activities. The more a website stays laser-focused on my interests, the better.
I don't understand. Having a specific list of IPs they want to route over Wireguard is the one that is easy today. It's the inverse (everything except these IPs) that's hard.
I very strongly disagree with the dark sky example. Apple forced developers to completely reintegrate with the new API and released a vastly inferior weather app for consumers. Soooo many third party weather apps were killed.

Muslim extremists around the world are far more driven by political and land conflicts than anything else. They are far more similar to the IRA than to any Christian extremists.

ISIS is the one which seems most ideology driven. But Hamas, Hezbollah, the Taliban, the PLF, the ETLO, the various Kashmiri militants, all of these are largely a result of land conflicts, like the IRA

Interesting website. But there's one rationalization missing, imho: that God alters the timeline. That is, amputees are in fact healed in response to prayer, but nobody knows about it because God goes back in time and ensures the amputation never happened in the first place.

> I think putting C++ in maintenance mode and keep it as a "legacy" language is the way to go

I agree but also understand this is absolutely wishful thinking. There is so much inertia and natural resistance to change that C++ will be around for the next century barring nuclear armageddon.
Admittedly most of my impressions are from watching K-dramas but I get the impression that the monarch is somewhat superfluous in bureaucracy-heavy systems like in Joseon and China — and that the government was generally happiest when the kings did nothing. All they have is free time and education.

Plus you should look at Hangul as a political action. Educating the commoners creates a bourgeoisie class that can be the king’s allies against the noble and bureaucratic classes. People who can read laws and write complaints are less subject to the whims of corrupt local officials.

I don’t think anyone disputes that China can out-manufacture us. Does that make them “better”, they the winner and the West the loser? Obviously not; things don’t end, history continues and things can go in different directions in the future. Not to mention that there are other dimensions that matter besides manufacturing prowess, namely quality of life, individual freedom, etc.

> but now the Bluesky app has exploded to 3.5 million daily active users, putting it just 1.5 times behind Meta’s Threads

Are they implying that Threads has just ~5 million daily active users? Adam Mosseri shared in the beginning of November that they have 275 million monthly active users. Bluesky meanwhile has 20 million total users. Considering the author hasn't shared a single source for their claim, I find it hard to believe. Realistically he is off by at least an order of magnitude.

Mashable used to be one of my go-to blogs, but I haven't been there in a while. Has it really fallen this far?

Based on https://bsky.social/about/support/tos#user-content , I would answer yes. While it's not expressly called out (permitted or forbidden), my reading of the above would indicate that it's not forbidden per se, and probably permitted ("Modify or otherwise utilize User Content in any media. This includes reproducing, preparing derivative works, distributing, performing, and displaying your User Content."). I believe training an LLM falls under "utilize" and "preparing derivative works".

Congrats on finding a role at Bluesky. Beaker was such an amazing project to follow, that experience must be so useful.
I feel this is a downside only to a particular bunch. For most people, Twitter is doing better than ever. Community notes are amazing and innovative and should be adopted by every social media platform. X feels legitimately more fun than most other apps. Plus, at this point, I think a solid portion of people have been banned from social media apps. You can't exile your way towards whatever ideal society you want. The barbarians are always at the gates.

I especially feel this sort of enforced community separation is so prevalent among those who are so reticent to build a border wall, but I'm sure psychology has an explanation somewhere.
People who should use Sumerian characters don't even use them, sadly. First probably because of habit with their transcription, but also because missing variants of characters mean lot of text couldn't be accurately represented. Also I'm downvoting you for discriminating me.
> Low quality article aside, Threads also had a major spike in usage that quickly dropped off. I could be wrong, but I’m going to guess Bluesky will be the same.

Threads had a lot of users sign up when it first launched. Bluesky launched over 18 months ago.

> They don’t seem to offer anything new/different other than moderation, which I’m not convinced is enough to shift momentum from x to bluesky

There are tons of differences. For example, if there are replies in a thread and one of the users blocks the other. Those replies are blocked out for everyone. If you quote post a user you've blocked. That post is blocked out for everyone. There are starter kits that are creating tons of growth in accounts for lots of people so you're not posting to nothing. The engagement is higher, seriously people are posting the same stuff on Twitter and Bluesky and with 10x more on Twitter there getting 2x better engagement on Bluesky. If someone quote posts you and you don't like it, you can remove the post from the quote. You can hide replies in your threads. It has a threaded UI that looks like reddit comment threads.

I think everyone has been waiting for a replacement to emerge and Bluesky has spent a lot of time slowly growing and slowly adding features that it does everything people want from Twitter with more control.
>Ukraine was comprehensively disarmed

Let's just say that consensus in Ukrainian polity has shifted back to the original idea that exporting war is a more sustainable policy when you live on the undefencible plain with no committed allies to rely on.
Off grid cabins could use this too.
It's also that a lot of management "decisions" happen in the moment. Is how they phrase something in a meeting or a one on one. It's how they respond or ignore questions. It's how strongly the push for someone to be promoted.

They're decisions, but often not something you can have sitting for review for days ahead, even if it's only seen by senior management. I've had plenty of times management announced something I agreed with, but the way they explained it was so rancid I came out of it upset.

At the end of the day, management, and in general all human interactions, are a glimpse into who you are. It can go amazingly well, or disastrously poorly. You can try to be very careful and say what's needed, but tone and timing and phrasing will almost always give things away.

Given how much of one’s life time is taken up by working, the highest priority besides making ends meet should be to do something that fills you with purpose and is rewarding in a non-monetary sense. “Making money fast” isn’t that for most people, unless you shoot for retiring very early, which is quite difficult to achieve.

If you really want to turn everyone who runs a facility that needs power for under $10/kWh into an energy trader who has to build a facility with a larger generator than needed and a battery bank and everything else, there is a huge amount of economic loss involved in that. Energy is cheap. Energy should be cheap. That infrastructure should remain for disasters.

Running those generators is not free, and puts wear on them. Also, starting up those generators takes time and puts a certain amount of wear on them, so you are now talking about also having batteries and other equipment to cover short periods and the gap during generator startup. And now when do you spin up the generator? Do you spin it up when the instantaneous price of a kWh goes over a certain threshold or do you wait? All of these are now things that every single industrial facility has to think about.
Poe's law strikes again: I'm genuinely unsure if you're intentionally being ironic in perfectly illustrating OP's point, or if you legitimately think that "the Right" is single-handedly responsible for creating the sociopolitical tribes that can't stand or even understand one another.

If you're being ironic there's not much to add, so on the assumption that you meant what you said: Trump's ascendancy is evidence of what OP is saying, not the cause. The coastal elite has been completely incapable of understanding Trump's voters for decades, long before they were Trump voters. Trump hijacked the Republican party and won the presidency (twice now!) because he managed to make these long-neglected voters finally feel understood. We're not going to solve the problem of Trumpism by doubling down on treating these voters like idiots, because that's what got us here in the first place.
I see the Fediverse as pretty left-wing, but Bluesky seems unlikely to stay that way because moderation works differently. (No admins blocking each other over policy.)
not just that, but the fact that the US gov't does hold elections means that what they do generally is in line with the people.

At this moment, what the chinese gov't is doing is _also_ (presumably) in line with their people's wishes - after all, factories and exports means jobs and economic growth. It remains to be seen if this continues to be in the face of a potential war, tariffs, or some other external shock.
I always hear this as a criticism of China but then I watch some footage of the actual place and it looks like it lives in the future (to be fair, it's uneven, but let me tell you I've traveled to the US enough times to be shocked at how uneven it can get). Sure, there's real problems I'm sure, where isn't there, but here in Canada by the time we've built a kilometer of an LRT line massively over budget, China has added a new high speed rail line.
