Collapse of Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth in XVIII as form of proto-democracy can be here good case study. It show us how authoritarian systems can exploit democratic system.

All of that is basically standard library over HTTP

Email service, Dns service (64 lines of code), File service, Image service - to name just some of them. Those are essentially little wrappers on standard libraries exposed as REST services.

It is not about number of endpoints - libraries also have multiple "endpoints" and some are used and some are not. It is about reasonable code packaging. Most of those "micro" service just wrap some single purpose libraries and expose them as REST endpoints. That is way they are more like nano services and not micro services. This lead to modern version of "dependency hell" but much more complex becasue now we have to deal with whole class of potential network problems.

After quick look on code it looks to me more like nano services than micro services and nano services are basically antipattern. I would never host that and expect most of this functionality to be library/package to programing language I use for my projects.

More strangers more law of diminishing marginal utility will apply.

Please take a look on Proto.Actor (C# version). Very elegant and lightweight solution.

1. You are correct, there are two different perspectives: 1. designer of channel (what most of Shannon work is about) and it deals with what you called 'potential information' and 2. message receiver/sender perspective.

2. True

3. Very true, using psychological terms like 'surprise' or in general psychological terms in strict theories is very often misleading but tempting becasue any reader can always contribute something (like own interpretation) to such theories so later he is personly/emotionaly bounded to it more.

so looks like now advertisers vote what is science ;)

It is hard for me to believe that modern radar systems would have any problems with tracking such drones. And one of the bizarre features of those UAP is that they appear and disappear from radar system suddenly so it is impossible to track their origin or final destination.

First of all can you provide any credible sources that will back your claims regarding Poland and its attempts to smuggle weapons? This sound like pure lie to me. Second thing: "The best way to help them now is to send arms" - this sounds like Russian provocation. Sending weapon to Belarus will only justify Russian miliary opperations in this country. So either you don't know what are you saying or you are instigator.

Thank you

Do you know exact source of that quote? Might be useful for my future paper around this area. Norman Abramson also had similar opinion.

Ofcourse speech has consequences. But where is the line between critique or disagreement and hate speech? Right now more and more critique/disagreement = hate speach, especialy for those who can't deal with arguments or objective, inconvenient facts about reality.

Exactly, I don't understand what do they mean by Google WebComponents. CustomElements v0? v1? both?

So basically we have rest mass and relativistic mass. How those two compare? And when we say: energy - mass equivalence we actually mean energy - relativistic mass equivalence?

"A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is a statistic"

Regarding QUIC and tracking, has anyone heard about MASQUE protocol proposal?

any thought on this?

It's quite important/basic feature required in most PWA use cases. Such feature will result in number of apps shiped outside App Store. This is probably why they delay it.

Not entirely related, but I want to mention that we have almost 2020 and Safari still doesn't support service workers push notifications (Push API). Shame on you Apple.

I consider XeTeX and LuaTeX as branch from main software line LaTeX. Ech of them have some extra features I would like to see merged into one software. To use unicode I have to switch to XeTeX but it is not such simple transition, to have bibliography with unicode I need to use some other tool (like Biber) because Bibtex it is not unicode aware. And there is a lot of other exceptions/hacks like this where such basic scenarious should just work out of the box in XXI century but they are not.

Personally I hate Tex/LaTeX and I think it should be replacted by something else long time ago. First of all syntax is horrible, if you don't work with it on daily basis try to figure out what macro you wrote one year ago is doing. Each time you have to jump to manual and learn almost everythig from very beginning. Next thing is lack of utf-8 and TrueType fonts supports (I know there is XeTeX and LuaTeX) but today such features such be in very core of text system no in some software branch. Extensibility is next thing and here again it is very poor unless you use something modern like LuaTeX or you are an expert in TeX macros. Packages dependency hell is next thing side by side with stupid compilation process with meaningless error messages. Am I the only one who think this way?

I will never undestand this argument. Bothering with types? How? In most cases you will need int, double or string - how this is difficult? It is more difficult to figure out types you heve to deal with if language doesn't provide such information. If by prototyping you mean Hello World like apps then ok, but anything more complex without types becomes mess very quickly and prototyping speed have to decrease.

Good job!

I just gave you list of example theories without any value function, conspiracy theories are also theories smartie. Using 'conspiracy' in front of it mean that you already judge them.

Basically International Relations Theory ignores something you can call "Theory of Civilisations". There is a lot of such theories but most of them are one sided. We can quickly distinguish few groups:

Biological theories - in such theories biology is key factor. For example: scientific racism (Arthur de Gobineau), Social Darwinism (Herbert Spencer), or theories where you treat civilisations like a living organism that always have to go through 3 phases: youth/development, adulthood/prosperity, senility/decline (for example Oswald Spengler theory).

Economical theories - economy as key factor. For example: Liberalism, Marxism, etc. Right now those theories are very popular, a lot of people assume that there is actually one big human civilisation and differences are just in economic level of each country/region/group.

Ideological theories - ideology/religion as key factor. Examples: Christianity, Islam, Freemasonry, Cultural Marxism, etc.

There were also attempts to merge all of those aspects: Toynbee, Koneczny (someone mention his work in one of the comments), Huntington (personally I think he ineptly copied Koneczny work).

Because of Pax Americana after WWII most people start belive that liberal democracy and capitalism was finall destination of all civilisations (Fukuyama famous book: "End of history"). But right now with rise of China and their model of state/economy/politics people start looking for much broader theories.

But lack of good and safe isolation was a serious problem

I have very same impression. XMPP is basing on XML where parsing is order of magniture more complex than JSON. In lot of ways very similar to SOAP mess where you could not comunicate across different software because each of them supportet different set of SOAP extensions and good luck with communicating with web client.
