> we've certainly come a long way from what people who didn't really know what they were doing were accomplishing on geocities (https://geocities.restorativland.org/RainForest/Vines/)

You may not be criticizing the Geocities folks (little difficult to tell with the word choice), yet I never really get why people rag on these types of Geocities sites so much. Sure, there were a large number that were "perpetually under construction." In many ways, I'd still prefer if a larger portion of the web had the freedom to simply put up this kind of site, about whatever they happened to be personally interested in, and if sites like Geocities had continued to prosper, rather than being sold to the rancor pit. It's all so homogenized now.

Looking through the site listed, there's almost nothing to condemn. Coral reef page [1], mostly somebody who likes coral reefs and provided links to university references. [1] An attempt at a photo blog or vacation photo site before there were any public places available to host, using their own design. [2] A quick page somebody threw up for a marketing summit. [3] A fan-zine website about a band from the 90's [4] A personal website (with a slightly garish color design) yet attempts at personal info, photos, and blogging. [5]

They're all rather different, there's a bunch of ideas about how to structure a website, they use a bunch different concepts about what it means to have your own "personal" location on the world wide web. They're far less homogenized than most of what amounts to current social media. And out of the ~1000, there's very few that looking back on after 20-30 years are anything to be especially embarrassed about creating or attempting to maintain.

The entire platform gave 1000's (maybe larger) a chance to experiment with a new technology in a relatively "free" environment, that probably resulted in many going on to develop further in their own web design skills and perspective on the world wide web. How much does almost anybody get these days (especially in terms of personal skills) by putting up a text message social media repository location, or a FB / Meta page?

Anyways, large aside. TL;DR "would prefer if more of the web had the free-form nature of Geocities with less condemnation of newbies attempts."

YouTube made $50 billion last year - I wouldn’t call it subsidized
Ha I'm surprised no one mentioned one of the most common name maltreatment complaints. The Gaelic patronymic prefix Mc/Mac.

When treating Mc/Mac names, the first letter after the prefix is always capitalised.. e.g McDonald's, McCarthy, McCain, McCoy, McConnell etc but you're more likely to see mcdonalds, mccoy, mcconnell.

Orthographic case preservation reports were like the biggest complaints that no one was interested in fixing during a short stint in the airline industry.

Your citation addresses it. Less than 1% of employment lawsuits are about selection criteria and employers win over 90% of them. They suggest GMA tests are _more_ defensible than other approaches.

The most interesting thing in that paper is that years of experience performed so poorly. It’s in the lowest cohort. Worse than “interests” or more general “biographical data”.

I suppose they could pay "$30K after taxes", but that would be prohibitively involved, from an accounting standpoint.

Conceptually, it's odd to me that payouts due to damages are taxed. Of course, it's hardly the strangest thing that gets taxed, so it's hardly a surprise.

They do though. They mention obscure authors and theories about white replacement and neo-eugenics. There's constant controversies of people finding the online handles of these power players on sites like gab and bitchute where they express pretty unambiguous sentiments.

If you consider all Chinese apps suspect because they're Chinese then it doesn't make any difference whether they're connecting to another app or not. For anyone who doesn't already think Chinese apps are automatically their adversary, I don't see how a Chinese app using a Chinese metrics framework in exactly the same way that is completely routine for US apps using US metrics frameworks (and indeed any number of other countries) is supposed to move the needle on how suspicious this app is.
Video calls work on schildichat on android but I use straight element now and I'd have to check.

We are all aware that matrix needs a TURN/STUN server to do audio and video calls, right? I think users might be able to specify their own turn server, but if your homeserver can't punch NAT you're not making video calls, period.

I don't know of any non-centralized functional service offhand that can do peer to peer video or voice without an intermediary 100% of the time. That crap died in the 90s.
I think the article reaches the right conclusion in this matter: This kind of thing is a test of an interchangeable list of rulesets instead of a test of the blocker using them.
I would expect them to build and staff studios and soundstages down there. Location shooting is expensive wherever you go - this is about getting away from US labor and other costs. They're not the only ones doing it either.

Security clearances are surely one? Government employees with access to that data are heavily vetted. DOGE, not so much.
So out of bounds access leading to data loss and possible security vulnerability is better than crashing the kernel? That doesn't make sense to me.
I'm glad Linus didn't miss that the change was just a user of the DMA code and didn't involve any changes to DMA itself. I think that very important point was overlooked in many of the responses in the original thread.
Thanks for your interest. I'm part of the Microsoft team. Here are a couple of comments that might be helpful:

1) The Nature paper just released focuses on our technique of qubit readout. We interpret the data in terms of Majorana zero modes, and we also do our best to discuss other possible scenarios. We believe the analysis in the paper and supplemental information significantly constrains alternative explanations but cannot entirely exclude that possibility.

2) We have previously demonstrated strong evidence of Majorana zero modes in our devices, see https://journals.aps.org/prb/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevB.107.245423.

3) On top of the Nature paper, we have recently made addition progress which we just shared with various experts in the field at the Station Q conference in Santa Barbara. We will share more broadly at the upcoming APS March meeting. See also https://www.linkedin.com/posts/roman-lutchyn-bb9a382_interfe... for more context.

I do understand why this administration is trying very hard to centralize authority because it's faster than vetting a bunch of people they can trust to act on their behalf. But on the other hand federal employees making it as hard as possible to do what they perceive as bad/immoral is a soft-check on the executive.

It's a subscription, billed monthly, with a minimum one year contract period. To the best I can tell, the service provider is in a completely monopolistic position too (is the only digital OTA (analog has been banned, and OTA is more commonly referred to here as terrestrial) television broadcaster in the country and is privately owned), so yeah, good fun all around.

I looked into it a bit deeper inspired by this thread, and it seems to be an explicit feature of the European digital TV broadcast system standard (DVB-T) [0], commonly used not just here in Europe, but also elsewhere around the world apparently [1].

The formal name for the "decoder card" I recalled is apparently CAM [2], which communicates with the TV using the DVB-CI protocol(?) [3], and uses the form factor of the old PCMCIA cards. I also see that the algorithm used is the CSA [4], and even more curiously I see mentions of DES [5] in the article for the encryption (with further mentions that AES is a new addition to the standard that is presently underadopted).

The only vendor-specific bit to this, because there is a bit that is vendor-specific, seems to be the key exchange algorithm used, although the articles are unclear to me about this. Interesting subject for sure. Here where I live, the Conax system [6] is in use supposedly. To be clear, they're not the service provider and have nothing to do with them (to the best I can tell).

Addendum:

Apparently I misinterpreted how it works a bit. So the Conditional-Access Module is plugged into the TV, so far so good, but that on its own is not going to achieve anything. The actual unlock comes from a smart card bundled with the CAM, and you're to put that into the CAM. As you can tell, we've only ever watched the free channels :)

Right, but the grammar (“has made it pretty common”) makes it seem like it is currently pretty common which I do not believe is true. I don’t even know if it was commonly exploited in the past, honestly.

>My point was the months of us being told constantly by the media that the sky is falling - the servers would fall over tomorrow, the advertisers would all leave and there would be no money, etc. This was literally daily for at least a month.

That seems to be my point tho. you're imagining Twitter collapsing in a few days and going out of business. That's not really how things work.

Twitter went private so no one really knows how well it's doing. I'd bet any confidence in Twitter these days isnt really in Twitter so much as Musk hype, however.

>. It appears Elons methods worked fine, and all the other major tech companies also went on a mass firing spree to trim the fat.

By waht metric? Financial is dubious of you're following the scene. Workers, certainly not. I guess in the metric that it let him buy the election. That's pretty big, I'll admit. I don't think thst trick will work twice, given his current reputation.

In the sense that "it is operating as a domain?" MySpace is still"up and running fine " in 2025. Digg is still up and running in 2025. Such name brands so well known don't really die in a literal sense; someone's going to buy and try to salvage it even after Musk sells it one day.

>MySpace is still"up and running fine " in 2025. Digg is still up and running in 2025. Such name brands so well known don't really die in a literal sense ; someone's going to buy and try to salvage it.

What positives are you imagining? We pay off the defecit? This ephemeral mood of "corruption" is dealt with? That you get a tax cut? Maybe the 3rd one will save you a few thousand a year.

I don't see many upsides here that counter balance this. That's pretty much my whole reservation of this comment. It just seems to be saying "well maybe we get something good out of it" while dimissing the bad that's already come. All on a basis of a company that didn't completely die out from the same cuts and suggesting it "works" because of that.
Some people here have an apostrophe. Names like Ainul can be 'Ainul. And I guess the Bobby Tables equivalent is Ai'null. It's due to arabic sources, where A and A' are different letters like o and ö. I used to do some consulting for the home ministry, and these legal names are all over our databases.

I imagine apostrophes would be a complete nightmare for most countries to sanitize or validate.

Both Linus and Greg KH were actively supportive of the project and remain so. Several of the R4L developers were long-term linux devs long before the project started (e.g. David Arlie). There are lots of current maintainers who aren't directly involved with R4L that still have a positive and optimistic outlook about it long-term. Just because there are a handful of maintainers are vocally in opposition does not mean that is the representative opinion.

This is such an absurd, content-free argument, which is not surprising given how you closed it.
Yes, I know the policy that has been stated and the recent docs on it (https://rust-for-linux.com/rust-kernel-policy). A good portion of the R4L group were trying to avoid this scenario due the toxicity of such a change (especially at this early contentious point, and despite what their online advocates want). I don't think the policy will immediatly change because of his statements, but I find it pretty clear that this is where he wants the project to go.
Haven't read the book in question (which looks like a sci-fi novel), but saw that "Into the Cool"[0] was referenced in the link. In my opinion, a really under-rated book... should be up there with Godel Escher Bach etc.

If anyone is interested in studying the Second Law... this is a much better read than say Jeremy England's "Every Life is on Fire" (which I think disappoints a bit in coming to the punchline.

The essence from "Into the Cool" from the amazon summary: "This second law refers to energy's inevitable tendency to change from being concentrated in one place to becoming spread out over time. In this scientific tour de force, Schneider and Sagan show how the second law is behind evolution, ecology,economics, and even life's origin. "

> ...write code that just kinda breaks the robot and then they’re totally lost for a while.

Um, yeah, that's how I roll.

Try something, it doesn't work, debug for a while and maybe I can get it to work?

My favorite example was I was trying to get the python buffer protocol working for images in blender. I read the docs, wrote some code which didn't work, started debugging for a long while and, finally, after I went digging into python's repo I found out it wasn't even fully implemented. Needless to say I was less than happy they would let a half-baked feature into a release.

I can say the current batch of 'thinking' AIs are pretty good at debugging once you get them pointed in the right direction.
Do you really think we didn’t hit civilians during Trump’s presidency?

He did loads more drone strikes than Obama. We just stopped counting the civilians. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47480207.amp

> During Mr Obama's eight years in office, 1,878 drone strikes were carried out, according to researchers. Since Mr Trump was elected in 2016, there have been 2,243 drone strikes. The Republican president has also made some of the operations, the ones outside of war zones, more secretive. As a result, things have different today: under Mr Trump, there are more drone strikes - and less transparency.
When you have high trust a lot of other processes become unnecessary. When that trust is broken, and surely a lot of grifters BSed their ways into jobs, that’s when all kinds of barriers were added.
