I agree with you in spirit. Everyone is equally responsible on "how" they communicate. When the giving side is coming from a place of contempt and disgust, the work for improvement shouldn't be trivialized.

I simply don't like having two monopolies (Google and Apple) handling every single push notification for all mobile users everywhere on Earth – except in China, maybe.

There's so much you privacy risks and they can easily infer many things from the meta data alone.

I thought we were in the post-Snowden phase already.

I find it hard to understand how $60K means no motivation but $100K would be highly motivating.

You said later that you care about the public health system and helping the elderly. That's where a large percentage of our taxes go.

> Huh? Dividends are income. Or are you talking about the non-monetary rewards of owning a business?

No, I'm talking about selling all or part of the business. I agree with you that it's a problem our businesses often sell out to overseas interests who hollow out the company. But the general pattern of making most of your money by selling shares in the business is completely normal worldwide.

White men feel abandoned and life expectancy for white men in the US is going down, often due to deaths of despair (suicide, overdose, etc).

Some just shrink away, others lash out with vengeance, but I do think it is a huge societal problem, especially as the demographics of the country shift and white men may no longer have the majority in a democratic society.

Many democratic societies that are ruled by a minority demographic do not tend to survive, and so I think the transition from white majority to non-white majority is actually a fundamental issue for our democracy.
How about we let senile old men sign executive orders they are unable to read in full or recall half an hour later? At least we will not know who’s making those executive orders, so we will not have some easy target to complain about.

Also probably better not cut government spending at all (lest we cut something important), until federal debt servicing exceeds all other spendings combined, and dollar spirals into hyperinflation.
How is the response to Oct 7 a defensive action? Using block sized bombs to take out one terrorist minutes after shooting a missile and has already left the scene when smaller munitions from drones can do the job is defensive? The military threat of Hama'
s is a few RPGs that have barely injured anyone since the war started.

How does Israel even know the ratio, they're not counting deaths.

All Hamas wanted from the beginning to release hostages was for Israel to do the same. Something they've now done anyway so the entire war and all civilian suffering was unnecessary.
Proton also suffers from a pathology similar to the LavaBit problem. Better off using some other email service that doesn't insist on keeping GPG keys on its servers and using something like Mega instead.
In the same way that Russians want to "take over" Ukraine or Argentinians want to "take over" The Falklands or Americans want to "take over" Greenland?

Territorial expansion is always popular with the masses before the shooting starts.

It is more nationalistic than political; in fact, many unpopular politicians start wars in order to get a sense of national unity and tamp down unrest at home.
I have the same perspective. On top of it, society has gotten use to seeing reality TV shows. DC looks like a reality TV show for ugly people to them. It's not even done well.
Trump tried not to let go of power the first time, but he wasn't able to overturn the election.
Yes. It's about the threshold to hold an opinion and to act. Different people have different thresholds for how much they dare to break from the status quo. With widespread protests we change the range of standpoints people feel comfortable to take.

Just like, the comparison is relevant, the public display of nazi symbols changes the range of nazi opinions that some people are comfortable expressing..

Fantastic, well done! - I remember the Inmos Transputers (T800), and there was Occam, the curious language, from which I remember just two operators, ? and ! to read and write from the four(?) fast serial ports that connected one transputer with its neighbors.

Pascal was beautiful, clean, simple and fast, and computer science has never reached that height again, IMHO - look at how slow Python is, how unstructured many programs are, when python permitted nested functionsa and procedures (C/C++/Rust still cannot do that today). And the fast compilers, TurboPascal, TurboModula, and TurboC that made Borland famous and wealthy are in some sense also unrivalled: on machines 1000x slower than what I have now in my desk, you felt like you had the fastest PC money can buy.

Continuing the immaturity is also usually seen as immature
Because the plundering is to pull the power to the white men, so that even if white men lose the democratic majority, they (we? as i'm a white american man) can still have power.

White men feel abandoned, powerless, ignored, blamed, and all sorts of attacks, and if we don't talk about this, then this country may continue a sort of death spiral, borderline suicidal people taking us all down with them.

USPS does more or less teeter on the edge of solvent and sustainable depending on how you measure and when you measure. All things considered, I think that's pretty damn good. Pretty much no other government service can claim that. I think the retiree funding requirement is/was dumb and an unnecessary handicap but the way USPS runs itself should be a model for other government services. The only reason we don't look at USPS as a massive success is because the idiot left brains want it to be run like a charity and the idiot right brains want it gone entirely.
On what device?
I'm not American, but my read of this announcement looks something like:

* The Trump Administration doesn't believe in the two state solution stalemate.
* They have leverage over The Netanyahu Administration in Israel due to the ongoing military support needed.
* The Netanyahu Administration wants to incorporate Gaza into Israel as also doesn't believe in two state solution but cannot do so without repercussions.
* US could take over Gaza as the West won't sanction it, China needs to sell to it, RoW not an issue.
* Trump wants US to take over Gaza, use US corps and workers to rebuild paid for by Israel, and then sell back to Israel at a later time.

I don't agree with that position but I think that's what the deal looks like overall.
I wrote lots of TSR extensions, I remember one that would allow you to switch between DOS programs.... it broke when the next version of DOS came out.

I was most fond of my image viewer program that worked only on my video card (a cirrus logic) but was 10x faster then others because it used some hw acceleration on the card (not remembering details right now).

It's basically impossible to replicate this level on todays extra-locked-down machines - the bar to entry and just tinker is so much higher.

There is one fundamental piece missing in your description of git that I think is the main reason people don't understand it. You have described a single DAG, but in git there are multiple DAGs. This is what it means to be a distributed version control system.

In my experience people come to git and start using it with the centralised paradigm in their heads: that there is one repo and one DAG etc. They think that their master branch is the same as "the" master branch. You just can't get good at git with this wrong understanding.
> if Israel wanted to commit genocide

thank you, israel
There are tools for the UI part. Most people I know only use command line git for doing stuff where GUIs give up (i.e. fixing repos in weird states). Usually, checking out a clean clone and switching to that will do the same without the GUI, just takes a bit longer if you know the command line fixes.

The issues most people seem to have with git are common version control issues. Version control is actually hard, even if it's just "what has changed", once you start going beyond two users editing a file at once. When three people edit a file at the same time, there's going to be complexity when those changes need to be applied back, and that's where you start getting into branching/merging/rebasing.

Just like some people simply cannot get functional programming/object oriented programming/imperative programming to click in their head, others will never truly grasp version control. It's a paradigm of its own. People who know lots of data structures like to trivialise version control into data structures ("it's just a list of ...") but the data structures are the chosen solution, not the problem.

Another complexity issue is that git is actually pretty smart, and will fix most problems automatically in the background. Often, when you need to manually operate on a git repo, you're in a situation where git doesn't know what to do either, and leaves it up to you as the expert to fix whatever is going on. And frankly, most people who use git are nowhere close to experts. The better Git tooling gets at fixing these situations for you, the worse your situation will be once you need to manually correct anything, and the worse your perception might get.

I have no good advice for you on how to work Git better. All I can say is that I'm very productive with Jetbrains' IDE integration, others seem to prefer Visual Studio Code's git integration, and then there's the Tortoise people. Find whatever tool works best for you and hope you'll have a random epiphany one day.
Most votes are cast against something, not for something. That's why negative ads work, no matter how annoying and insulting they are.

Most of the Americans I've spoken with who acknowledge voting for Trump said they did so either because they were against abortion or because the were against the great replacement. My sample is small though and may not be significant but there is a similar pattern in my country.
The issue is cultural and they think the cultural issue will change by slashing the government, not realizing the cultural issue doesn't come from government.

I think it was someone on the right, Steve Bannon or even Andrew Breitbarting, that said politics follows culture. So to focus on culture first.

They're trying to change culture at the political level, and I'm not sure that's how it works.

The company had just shy of a million people in it at the time, making the comparison "about the entire population of South Dakota" (which had 139 suicides that year) or "121% of the population of San Francisco" (32 jumped from specifically the Golden Gate bridge in 2010, which was Foxconn's worst year[0], and that doesn't count any of the other suicides in SF that year, just jumping specifically off that specific bridge), and it's nowhere near the only example of this in the USA.

This university had three students jump to their deaths in 2010, out of about 26k students, compared to 15 in Foxconn's worst year out of 980,000 employees:

https://news.sky.com/story/suicide-nets-college-attempts-to-...

Population adjusted, what happened at Cornell University was as if 112 people rather than 15 had jumped in Foxconn.

Or this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elmer_Holmes_Bobst_Library

"""In late 2003, the library was the site of two suicides. In separate incidents, students jumped from the open-air crosswalks inside the library and fell to the stereogram-patterned marble floor below.

After the second suicide, the university installed Plexiglas barricades on each level and along the stairways to prevent further jumping. In 2009, a third student jumped to his death from the tenth floor, apparently scaling the plexiglas barricade.[7]

The library has since added floor-to-ceiling metal barriers to prevent any future suicide attempts. The barrier is made of randomly perforated aluminum screens that evoke the zeros and ones of a digital waterfall.[8]"""

2 out of 59,144 students would be equivalent to 33 out of the 980k Foxconn employees, double the number who actually jumped.

Ah, your post helped me realize that a lot of people probably have an anger or resentment towards academics. So maybe part of it is DEI, part of it is the resentment towards the kids in school who always knew the answers.

I'm not saying this is what's coming from you, just reminded me of how many people have had so much animosity towards me over the years because of my intelligence, or maybe more so, my confidence in my intelligence. A jealousy/envy/admiration all mixed together.

Ok so the answer to my question of where you got all that is: Zizek?

You are reading marxism through the distorting eye of a middleman. Marxism, as you said, is a wider context than diamat, but not a different one. As you said, dialectical meterialism is the philosophy, the world view, which informs the subsequent aspects of marxism, that is socialism/communism and all the political aspects around it. To say that marxism has a static view on anything IS to say that diamat has a static view on anything because diamat is the "algorithm" of marxism.

> Under Marxism, if you were born as a a worker proletariat you remain a proletariat, everything else is structured around this overdetermination.

Where did you get this? Zizek? It is a different thing to say that "chances are you will remain a proletariat" than to say "it is impossible to change class, therefore you will remain a proletariat". The fist is true, the latter is false.
And yet he still left peacefully and Biden became the president.

As a counterpoint, I found that Google had deleted all my servers from the GCP trial. I thought it's like AWS where it automatically starts billing you at the end. In fact was pretty sure I was paying for them (Google is definitely sending me strange unmarked invoices for something) but it turns out you have to activate it manually, and when I didn't, they just nuked the whole thing.

There's an issue for the IPC guide on GitHub that's almost a year old with zero reaction.
The deepfakes that people are worried about are ones that, if they were real, they'd not authorize anyway, so the lack of a digital signature wouldn't help distinguish deepfakes from leaks. At the same time, digitally signing something real just makes it hard to disavow later when you suddenly feel embarrassed by it. Hence there's little reason to sign anything.

On the other hand, maintaining a list of photos that are allowed to be posted, where platforms take down anything else with a facial recognition match might work better than the status quo where platforms maintain lists of stuff that isn't allowed to be posted. But it's up to platforms whether they want to implement such a system.
I look forward our new Chinese overlords.
The difference is that all of them work cross devices. That's why I only get video calls with WhatsApp and I never get one using one of the many video call apps of Google. I learned today, by reading this thread, that somebody could have sent me a link to a Facetime call. I never got one. Everybody in my country use WhatsApp for video calls (maybe somebody is videocalling with Facebook Messenger or Facetime, very few with Telegram) and nobody has to worry about which mobile OS the other person have. WhatsApp has commoditized both iPhones and Androids here. When people choose to buy a phone they don't think about how they'll make calls or send messages. They install WhatsApp, because they have to or they won't call and message a lot of people, and the problem is solved.

Edit: by the way, probably every single phone has builtin interoperable 1 to 1 video calls from the days of 3G. I remember testing them in late 2002 / early 2003. They worked and probably still work unless they retired the standard because everybody is using apps.

it’s always a little weird to me how out of touch this comments section is, especially on the topic of certain social ills that people wish to normalize. I really think the constant pressure on these subjects has been counterproductive to that goal.
But a dictator in charge of the most powerful government in the world would not let go of the power and would do anything to maintain the power.

> I also believe that the media smear campaign depicting Biden as completely senile was really effective (and a bit ridiculous considering the age of his replacement). Another very effective strategy in riling up their base was the "democrats want to transgenderize all the children" (exaggerated).

I'm not sure what they could actually do about these; if the media (or their owners) want to lean heavily on the scale, this is always going to be a problem. We see the same thing in the UK. You can't fight a thing that people have made up in their heads with facts.

(I note that there is a platform split on H1-B between Trump and Musk, but that doesn't seem to have been a problem for them)

> Bad handling of the candidate selection for the democrats (switching to Harris too late)

Many of the democrats are simply too old. Nancy Pelosi, world's greatest stock trader, is 84. Feinstein died in office at 90. There's an entire missing generation, the party should be averaging 50-65. People are supporting them because there's no alternative, which is .. not durable.
That's on newer machines where it's likely built into the processor, not for older machines that had a TPM as an option that connected via a header.
Expertise can be of great value, but no-one is an expert on every matter and the rest. And expertise don’t make anyone free of committing errors, or to be drawn in a corruption schemes.

We can have a thorough and deep expertise on some technical domain, and yet lake the sagacity and humility to judge where it won’t put us in better position than someone else dealing with an issue on the topic in a context the other person is already deeply acquainted with, while we are completely unaware of its many specificity.

On the other hand of course someone tightly coupled with a particular situation might easily miss some bigger picture that a relevant expertise could unlock.
Well, it wasn't overwhelming, he got less than 50% of the vote (but still more than Harris).

And the head of the branch should still be subject to checks and balances.
