>Possession of money should not be a crime.

Cash has been illegal for a long time, and it's not just civil forfeiture that makes it illegal. Your bank has been deputized to spy on you if you deposit sums above a limit, at the limit, and "below the limit" (that's structuring also a crime). Other "negotiable instruments" have been outlawed, so that if you want to carry around your wealth, you have to do it in (at most) $100 increments, and they have threatened all my life to stop printing those and bump it down to $20. Meanwhile, in the last two decades we've had two major incidents where if you deposited the money anyway, it could just disappear out from under you without any real guarantees. And when none of that is enough to deter you, they inflate it away day after day until 20 years later it is worth only half of what it used to be. The strong-armed the swiss into no longer offering numbered accounts 30 years ago now. These things aren't coincidences. Money is very much illegal.
Fwiw, I had a similar experience and ended up switching to Fastmail. Less private which is a shame, but still achieves degoogling

No. The point is standing outside the ring shit-talking about how you have the best punch is just BS, and you know it - otherwise you would have published something.
> The energy is exponential. It takes 30% farther to stop going 80 than it does going 70.

That's when the issue is stopping distance.

The issue on highways is that you have, for example, two cars in the left lane going 55 MPH and a third approaches going 70 MPH. One of the slower cars sees this and moves over but only at the same time as the faster car is changing into the same lane to pass on the right, so now both lanes are blocked, the faster car hits one of them and they're both edged off the road into a stationary object at highway speeds.

Does it matter if they hit the stationary object with significantly more energy? Probably not; dead is dead.
will the Python ecosystem feel the need to "tree shake" its way to small bundle sizes? Its easy to eliminate tk and turtle graphics, but if a project uses foo.bar.x its hard to determine if rest of foo can be eliminated. JS kinda solved that problem.
I'm not talking about selling shovels in general.

I'm talking about the specific SaaS starter kit trend of recent and that Cory's work predates it - specifically because of snark like yours, which has seen an uptick because of the recent trend.
Well, would you say Internet turned to even more shit now that majority of content is AI generated?
But the new owner does not have access to the inbox or any other account info of the old bob@DankStartup.com. They're completely separate accounts, with the same email address. Plus, Google already recognizes that fact, by setting a different value in the "sub" field of the claim it returns (though per the article, it seems that may not work properly).

And legal relations just don't work this way. A person is who they are, and it is that person who has legal access to whatever data was stored in their Slack. Another person who happens to have the same email some time later doesn't have any right whatsoever to that same data. OAuth exists to help secure this type of legal relation, not to establish a completely fictitious identity.
It's true that there has always been a sizeable chunk of religion motivated home schoolers, historically there was a long tail with motivations and efficacy that was all over the map.

One thing that's really common is for parents to try it when they feel that the local system is failing their kids in some way and the family economics supporting are acceptable.

There are also many permutations - it wasn't uncommon when I was younger for parents to do it through middle school, but have their kids attend high school because they felt that it was the point where socialization became important in a way that couldn't be handled effectively with home school.

Obviously there's a huge range of efficacy, too.

That said, I think you have to ask why are charter schools and vouchers (not just home school) becoming even more fashionable despite there being little to no evidence that they generate any broad improvements in the base level of education in the population at large? And a lot of it is because society has gotten more and more zero sum and it's going to increasingly self cannibalize.

Which is not that far off from the writer's premise.
That's also why HyDE (Hypothetical Document Embeddings) can work better when the context isn't clear. Instead of embedding the user question directly – and risk retrieving chunks that look like the question – you ask a LLM to hallucinate an answer and use that to retrieve relevant chunks. Obviously, the hallucinated bits are never used afterwards.
Homeschooling is fashionable because public schools are terrible, and private schools are expensive.

No tech bro theories of exceptionalism and "anti-mediocrity" necessary.

There's almost zero chance for that pretend scenario to happen, kid and parents intermingle all the time at drop off and other school activities, kids are pretty vocal about their birthday and who they want to be present, and their parents will find a way to get the message across, and the kid will know from school interactions anyway if they are invited, and relay the info to the parent.
Not to forget that "Average" people are, in many ways, the foundation of any functioning society.
I'm not sure that the presumption of innocence has eroded away in the popular consciousness. I suspect that it's roughly at the same place as it was in the 1980s. I suspect the big differences that shape one's contemporary perception of the topic are the conversion of most major US-based news agencies to publishing very little but "shock and outrage" stories, and the prevalence of the Internet Hate Machine that is clickbait-promoting "social media" pushing rage-and/or-sorrow-inducing stories in one's face.

But, yeah, it's deeply disappointing for people to say "Wow, what a strange thing for that guy to be doing. Clearly he's up to no good, should be stopped immediately, and have his property confiscated."... when the thing that the fellow is doing inflicts no actual harm on anyone at all.

We did elect a guy who is trying to control the Press and says that the lie of the stolen election is grounds for terminating articles of the Constitution. And who tried to undermine the results of the previous election.

And he's extremely charismatic and popular.

Software is not lifelike. It’s okay to use a framework. I mean, be decisive. Don’t fall with the trends, you know. The React generation has committed terrors to our community. But One to follow is tried and true in spite of contemporary critiques.

I say this to say, avoid mistakes. But don’t look to reinvent the wheel, roll your own crypto, all that. I’m sure deep down you rather screw up and be able to have someone help you troubleshoot your issue with you, or for there to be up-to-date and standard documentation accessible to you.

If you’re going to mess everything up, the one thing that I can think of that would obliterate your determination to rectify and ostracize you from otherwise helpful people is to do it in a way that has never been done before.

Yeah, unfortunately this is one of those sandpaper tradeoffs for some users with some of the Proton suite and how they approach privacy (and its consequences for you as the end user).

I've had similar bugbears with their other products which end up in me not using anything except the core mail product.

They seem to improve things over time, but it's a game of patience.

E.g. I stopped using the Drive apps and only use it as an async backup store, because it keeps creating sync conflict files if you sync something you edit frequently (like an Obsidian vault). It also for some reason kept setting my user permissions to read only for my note files while it did this (on macOS).

There's a big difference between someone with an IEP (usually massive trauma and mental illness also) doing things and a "regular" student doing them. Expelling a kid usually just means they move to a different school, and all expulsion is doing is moving the burden down the chain, usually from more affluent places where parents are equipped to complain, to less affluent ones. Particularly if the room destroying-violence kiddo's family don't have lawyers.

I was going to ask if Fastmail went smoother. Bron (CEO) is active in IETF doing the JMAP related stuff and other things, he is responsive to discussion in that place, I felt like they are working to make things more gooder better.

Proton is secure. But it can be very hard to work with. I help seniors who were taken there by their more paranoid friends and associates and now struggle with the GUI and tying it into older mail clients
I find looking beyond the rim of your own plate such an inspiring thing when it comes to schooling.

Germany for example prohibits home schooling. don't breed detached extremists. however Germany thinks binning kids into handcrafts, simple office jobs and academia at age nine (!) is a brilliant idea o-O. but then on the upside again, you will go to school for at least 13 years if you get _any_ kind of qualified professional education.

China has one (1) math text book for 1.4bn people.

France has competitive cognitive Tests (Concours) to enter highest education.

maybe a problem is that everybody went to school so everyone thinks they are experts. it's hard to evolve schooling. like steering a super tanker. slooow. too slow for four year election cycles.
> Does Google have any reliable way of knowing that?

Yes, Google knows this is a new Google Workspace account using the same domain as the old one.

> I have a personal google workspace account with a few domains. At some point I might want to spin one off to be its own (maybe I start a company). But I'd still expect pat@mydomain.com to keep working throughout. So that's 1 situation.

That should be a separate feature of Google Workspace, where you can transfer an identity, it shouldn't be automatic. And it shouldn't even be tied to the domain name. If you decided that you prefer the domain to be pat@mybetterdomain.com, you'd still want to have access to the old Slack conversations or whatever. Conversely, if you lost access to the mydomain.com domain (say you forgot to renew it, or some legal entity sued for it because it was their trademark or whatever), I'm certain you wouldn't want the new owners to then have access to your Slack or any other data, just because they have the same domain name.

> It can generate headers and the like dynamically so you don't have to change it on every single pa

Yeah, I noped out of that and use a client-side include (webcomponent) so that my html can have `<include-remote remote-src='....'>` instead.

Sure, it requires JS to be enabled for the webcomponent to work, but I'm fine with that.

See https://www.lelanthran.com for an example.

[EDIT: Dammit, my blog doesn't use that webcomponent anymore! Here's an actual production usage of it: https://demo.skillful-training.com/project/webroot/ (use usernames (one..ten)@example.com and password '1' if you want to see more usage of it)]

> If you’re really concerned about that apt-get then besides a container registry you’re going to host a private package repository too, or install a versioned tarball from a public URL, but check the hash of whatever you’re downloading and put that hash in the dockerfile.

Right, but if you're doing that then you probably don't need to bother with the docker part at all.

> you notice when you’re changing / extending the dockerfile.. which is the time and place where you’d expect to need to know

You notice, sure, but you can't see what it was. Like, sure, it's better than it failing when you come to deploy it, but you're still in the position of having to do software archaeology to figure out how it ever worked in the first place.

Like, for me the main use case for reproducible builds is "I need to make a small change to this component that was made by someone who left the company 3 years ago and has been quietly running since then", and you want to be able to just run the build and be confident it's going to work. You don't necessarily need to build something byte-for-byte identical to the thing that's currently running, but you do need to build something equivalent. The reproducibility isn't important per se but the declarativeness is, and with Docker you don't get that.

This lawyer associated much more closely with Zuckerberg than any of us here. He might thus have a better idea of what's going on in Zuckerberg's head than we do. What if he's just right? Would you still be complaining about "wokeism"?
Even without other tokens before it the LLM is probably showing the probability of dice rolls based on its training data. I’d guess humans tend to prefer “3” or “4” as it’s nearer the avg/median and feels fairer.

AFAICT, the LLMs aren’t creating new mental mappings of “dice are a symmetric and should give equal probability to land on any side followed by using that info to infer they should use a RNG.”
I read that as "those who watch it already know".

Could you or someone else share what’s shown in that series? I’m not willing to devote dizains hours to have that answer.
Everyone viewed as legitimate in the eyes of the state has stopped using cash, so leaving this in place as an additional risk to carrying or using cash is a nice bonus in the war against financial privacy and freedom.

One more nail in the coffin of being able to transact in ways either unknown to or unapproved by the state.

In 2011 I spoke at the CCC about why it’s essential to have free and censorship-resistant payments that the state cannot veto:

Always use and carry cash. Always tip in cash. Don’t do business with places that don’t accept cash. Store some cash in your home and your car (hidden) for emergencies.

New model predicts half of energy will come from solar by 2035
My impression is that you can't really build nix as a DSL in haskell, because the core insight of nix is to introduce the "derivation" function into a pure programming language, whose behaviour is pure (the output is determined by only the inputs), but whose implementation is very much not (it builds packages from a specification).

Evaluation is completely pure (at least with flakes, which disallows querying environment variables, etc.). Evaluation of derivations will result in .drv files in the store, but that does not add impurity to the language itself. Building the .drv is a separate step (instantiation).

You could totally write something that generates .drv files in a different language and use Nix for instantiation (building). If I am not mistaken, this is how Guix started - they evaluated derivations defined in scheme to .drv files and then let the Nix daemon build them.

Aside from that, as a Nix user, I am happy that Haskell is not the language. Nix is a very small, simple language that is easy to wrap your head around and does not lead to a lot of abstractionitis. A want to say this in a way without painting a caricature, but the Haskell community has a tendency to pile on a lot of abstractions and I would hate to see a Nix with monad transformers, lenses, or whatever is popular these days.

Building an Open Source Real Time Data Replication in Go for MongoDB –> Iceberg
When building OLake, our goal was simple: Fastest DB to Data LakeHouse (Apache Iceberg to start) data pipeline.

Checkout GtiHub repository for OLake - https://github.com/datazip-inc/olake

Over time, many of us who’ve worked with data pipelines have dealt with the toil of building one-off ETL scripts, battling performance bottlenecks, or worrying about vendor lock-in.

With OLake, we wanted a clean, open-source solution that solves these problems in a straightforward, high-performing manner.

In this blog, I’m going to walk you through the architecture of OLake—how we capture data from MongoDB, push it into S3 in Apache Iceberg format or other data Lakehouse formats, and handle everything from schema evolution to high-volume parallel loads.
Before chunking, run coreference resolution to get rid of all of your pronouns and replace them with explicit references. You need to be a bit of careful to ensure you chunk both processed and unprocessed versions in the same places but it’s very doable.

I don't think it would need to go that far. Simply tying it to a Google Workspace account and not to the domain should be plenty good enough. Google knows if example.com changes between being associated with Google Workspace A to Google Workspace B. But it's not including that info in the OAuth claims.

This is not true. Sustainable forestry practices have been increasing forest coverage for some time now.
> Property taxes pay for schools.

I know this is true for the US. The vast majority of public school budgets are paid from local property taxes. This gives wealthy communities a significant advantage. Princeton, New Jersey is famous for its high property taxes and excellent public schools.

Are there any other countries that use a local-tax funding model for public schools? Most other nations that I know use a national funding model.
Fun!

Are you sure administrators care? I live in Oakland, where some of the public schools have absolutely abysmal (academic) statistics. I haven't checked the expulsion statistics. I'm not sure anyone cares.
Well, one reason is that your assumption that they are all or mostly inferior is wrong.
The Wire is about the War on Drugs. The War on Drugs is responsible for probably 75% of the shockingly oppressive laws still on the books, with most of the balance being the War on Terror.
