I don't think that "dystopian" necessarily goes far enough, this would be one of the rare times where I would call it a fascist mentality - the idea that everything's primary allegiance is to the state and the goals of t

I suspect that BASIC may have got a bad reputation in the same way as PHP or JavaScript did, where the accessibility of the language and infrastructure around it allows people who just want to achieve a specific goal to easily participate.

This list really limits itself in terms of Xilinx price-to-performance by disallowing anything with a SOM. You can get a combined SOM + Carrier board with https://www.xilinx.com/products/som/kria/kr260-robotic

Protest needs to be disruptive or inconvenient in some way to draw any kind of attention or have an impact. Otherwise the complaints can be entirely ignored, but that often seems to be the goal of corporate-sanctioned protest; get everyone

With TP-Link you can run the Omada controller for their EAP line on a local device (I have it running on a Pi4).

I think many businesses will be happy with this change. Currently you have to run an instance of WhatsApp in a container that connects to the WA servers and provides the API that you then use. But Facebook doesn't let random businesses

Laws don't matter without the ability to enforce them. Apple and Google reap the benefits of forced centralised control, but that is what allows those countries to very easily enforce these kinds of laws.

Maybe, as with the opposition to the Citizens United ruling, rights that are given to people should not automatically apply to companies.

Did it take 50-60 hours in ancient times to gather enough firewood to burn a fire for an hour, or does this limit the definition of artificial light to some kind of higher quality oil lamp?

Projected Electoral College votes could still be based on post-certified results from the states. The projection they're talking about might be the projection of who the electors would vote for (so ignoring faithless electors who could

I think it's difficult to approach a problem with a Depth-first Search mentality without using "Strong Opinions, Weakly Held". If one goes in with "weak opinions" it's easy to find oneself constantly backtracki

From an individual perspective I don't think there should be any doubt that solving death is a fantastic goal. It's the threat that is poses to the system, threats to which we have no better tool than death. Old age and death is s

This thing of misleading people on the details so that they make the Correct Decision in the short term seems very dangerous. I know in tech there's a tendency to do something similar when faced with clueless management, feeding just t

Shouldn't one at least start by giving tough punishments to officials i.e. years in jail etc, before reaching for the more monstrous punishments? I worry that the extreme suggestions distracts people enough that the focus instead becom

I think you see point 3 come through in the discussions talking about privilege and lived experience. It's a natural step after point 1 or 2 where the dominant group rebuts with "well it works for me, so it should work for you&quo

This seems to just be a set of general steps for the dominant culture to downplay dissenters or individuals for whom the system isn't working. It doesn't tell you anything about if the system is actually working or not, or if thos

A moral framework is only useful if it can be adhered to. If we define "good" as a standard that can't be maintained it ceases to be a valuable definition. Sometimes "whatabouism" is just trying to make sure that th

The hot bag thing is a pain and has so many different reasons. I've been caught out with it in the move from a 2012 rMBP to a 2019 16", where on the old one if I was connected to WiFi/tethered and I had SSH sessions open in T

I would think the Peter Principle would be better represented if there was someone who was a star on the technical side, but messed up as the CEO in a role they couldn't handle. i.e. if Brendan Eich was CEO and this happened it would b

That's such an obnoxiously passive-aggressive response from the CEO. Bit of a red flag for the company culture.

I think the aim of better funding models is to allow more specialised content that is of higher value to people with an interest in that niche to be viable. In theory that allows more creators that are focused on a niche to thrive, rather t
