No, it is more like checking it manually every single day. ...which is would be akin to following someone in public and filming them. Technically, it's all in public, but it is no less likely to make people feel stalked and unsafe.

The underlying part here is that these employees were using the notion of "unions" to organize _politically_.

...and their willingness to act against fellow employees and leak company documents demonstrates just how dirty they would have become had they been allowed to continue.

Personally, I don't think they cared at all about worker rights beyond their desire to advocate their politics.
I also quite prefer qmail to postfix in terms of its flexibility and resilience, but it really does highlight one of the biggest problems with long term use of djb software: It always seems to reach a point where djb feels it's done (or he's done with it) and it sits there for years with no updates, while still appearing to be the authoritative version of that product.

Vanilla qmail is genuinely unusable on the internet today (because of the backscatter issue in particular), but netqmail, which is still maintained, still looks like a secondary fork to someone who doesn't know the history. It doesn't help that djb for a long time used licensing that was incompatible with reasonable distribution of these forks as well.

So these days I actually tend to go for the forks and clones of djb software where possible. I use netqmail on my mail server, runit instead of daemontools, etc.
I read the article but I am more puzzled now. Can they go deeper why these two accused of doing something like this? Motivation? How they contacted the agents etc.

Was this an ongoing case everyone knows?
Animats did not claim it's Slavery, it claimed it's more cost-effective than Slavery.
That's not a bad long-term plan (if there is a lightweight standalone Wasm interpreter), but Wasm is not quite ubiquitous enough. Hopefully!

Given the spike in demand right now, traditional supply and demand would suggest raising prices and using the money to produce more chips, which in the end would net more money and bring the price down. The reason that won't happen has more to do with the feasibility (or lack thereof) of scaling production of GPUs by throwing money at it and the transient nature of the spike than Nvidia being helmed by a shadowy cabal that responds to neither their own incentives nor the market.
I think there's a game type somewhere between today's MMORPGs and MUDs that can bring some of these features and text based interactions to an MMO. For example, I started prototyping a game a last year that was old school cyberpunk-ish style where you had a console that you can interact with a internet-like network, and this console let you do a lot of the mud-like text interactions and automation, but there was also a part of the game to visualize and let you interact with the network without the console.
The law is only just if applied equally. I would have less problems if Chinese authorities prosecuted everyone involved in fraud.

Discretionary application of the law is a worst-case-scenario.
One other question: are there Backbone examples small enough to digest but large enough to be more authentic than a to-do list? This is where I struggle to come up with good teaching examples -- a whole real-world app is simply too much to take in when one is trying to transition to a JS app mindset (and of course the code is usually minified/obfuscated), but examples like to-do lists are so simple that they don't show how a tool addresses actual real-world problems.
I beg to differ -- would Moose have surfaced had there not been a competing ecosystem of implementations? Of course it's impossible to determine, but my theory is that it takes competition to discover new ideas. It's not often you land on the obvious solution on the first try.

A more concrete example would be the standardization process of Common Lisp. Wouldn't have happened if there was not a vibrant eco-system of competing Lisp implementations. Eventually many of the ideas championed by the major implementations made their way into the CL standard. Now we have a new ecosystem of implementations and a standard for them to follow.
We had a similar experience when we created our first designer toy. We were looking for exceptional quality as our designers were incredibly talented and we waned their work showcased in the best possible way.

First rule: stay away from Alibaba.
We went this route initially, found someone who looked like they could do it, and even found other small toy manufacturers who had supposedly heard of the factory and recommended it. This was important since many of the factories tend to steal and re-post product photos from eachother.

We went with this factory, and production started fairly smooth. We let the factory complete the sculpt (a rookie mistake on our part) and we began the tweaking process. Their sculpt was “ok”, not on model really, and it didn’t “feel” like our product. After a few months of sending photos back and fourth, we asked to have a sample shipped to us so we could see it in person. When we got them in the mail, we knew we were in trouble. Not only were the samples “way” off model (downright ugly, actually), but they didn’t even stand! The factory had, for some reason, rounded the bottom of the feet…

Decision time- we were already in the hole a few thousand $- it’s a lot for us, as our entire operation at the time included myself and my fiancee. We’re bootstrapped and pay everything out of pocket. We decided to move forward, picking the best of the worst of the samples, and again attaching notes for fixes (“can we get the toy to stand, please?”). That’s when everything went really south. We never saw any fixes, never got to see the colors printed, or the designs in final form from this factory. What we got were weekly emails for 6 months that basically read, “so sorry for the delay, it’s almost ready- should have them for approval next week.”

The following year came the stories of the Alibaba CEO stepping down over fraud investigations. No surprise:
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870447660457615...

Second Rule: China is the wild west, do it the right way.
We started going to trade shows like Toy Fair and others, and began asking people with real product in the market for leads. While most kept their factories a secret, we made progress. We discovered the HKTDC, a more legitimate group, and then caught our break- someone who had connections and personal relationships and connected us to a truly great, legitimate factory.

Result: http://aartingcollection.com – and our first designer toy on the market.

The "debug everywhere" thing typically refers to GUIs and filesystem conventions. If you don't slavishly use File.separatorChar everywhere and let a "/" slip in there, yeah, you'll have bugs on windows.

For most code, and if you're not going to run on windows, it's not an issue. It's nothing like dealing with header files.
> Are scientists prohibited from distributing their own research and papers for free as part of their standard contracts with the big journals?

Yes.

Most do it anyway. I never heard about any journal persecuting a contributor for sharing their own paper, but they are almost always prohibited from doing that, even when it's free on the journal's site.
I did not know Signal was able to do that. Seems kind of like it is defeating the purpose of Signal.
Don't assume that the retail price of a replacement part is the BOM cost used by the manufacturer. It's likely integer multiples (if not an entire order of magnitude) higher.

e.g., the replacement cost of a control board in my furnace is around $800, IIRC. I could probably build it for about $30 in parts (ignoring the software in the microcontroller). However, to someone who's evaluating buying a new furnace vs. repair, that $800 is a hell of a lot cheaper than a new furnace.
almost certainly on a server hosting roaming profiles.

And if not, then they should hire me and I'll set it up for them. :D
I want to point out there really are two sides to Section 230. On one hand, it's absolutely crucial to have it if we want most of the online communications tools we've become accustomed to to exist. On the other hand I think some companies, like Facebook specifically, have massively abused the protections of Section 230 to benefit themselves at the expense of the general public. When you're to the point of hiring psychologists to manipulate your users into "engagement" regardless of the impact to mental health and public discourse, I think that's the point where everyone needs to recognize that _something_ needs to be done in terms of regulation.

When regulation _does_ happen, I hope lawmakers around the world give no consideration to the impact on Facebook just as Facebook's given no consideration to the negatives they're creating for society. Let them fail if necessary IMO.

And finally, the best middle-ground I've seen for Section 230 was here on Hacker News. I don't remember which user said it, so I'm sorry I can't attribute it, but the idea was solid. Things like reverse chronological data feeds that a user is specifically asking for should be protected under Section 230. Things like recommendation and engagement algorithms should be considered publishing and platforms should be liable for that content since they're surfacing it and putting it in peoples' faces.

I've paraphrased that, but I really hope the general idea gains traction. I've been very anti-censorship my whole life, but there's no denying that social media can have a severe, negative impact if the platforms are susceptible to propaganda and misinformation, so I think it's time to talk about moderation.
Do we know it was Pelosi's computer and not just a staffer in her office? I also imagine it's a lot harder to walk out of the building with an open laptop in hand than a closed one in a bag.
When Facebook bought WhatsApp I remember calculating the price they paid per user around $20 / year.

I don't think you can get every single user across the globe to pay that kind of money. $20 is a lot for some of the users of this tool.

Point is, yes they charged for it - but I dont think it was ever a viable part of their business model.
Yeah, that's why they are engaged in genocide against other peoples - Georgians, Ukrainians, Crimean Tatars, Chechens, etc.

everything that we have come to expect of all aspects of existence is only that way because it has been repeated enough to have been made a fact of reality

What does this even mean? Repeated enough to become a fact of reality? So before it was a "fact of reality" it was being repeated, but.. wasn't yet reality? Until it was repeated enough, and then it became a fact of reality?

Who is swayed by this kind of false deepness?
Who would you complain to if they refused to let you buy it?

Your state attorney general. It usually has a consumer fraud department for this sort of thing. If your city is large enough, there may be an equivalent city office.

For things like gas, it's often the county or state department of weights and measures.

> On the flip side, if everyone hates you equally you're probably on the right track.

This is the false equivalence argument. Some argue that 5g spreads covid. Some argue it doesn’t. You advocate both views and everyone hates you.

Doesn’t make you right.
The sentiment of your message almost makes it looks like you are trying to say Whatsapp is no worse at E2E than the others?

This is not the case. Signal for example has open source which allows to verify that it does not use the message texts for commercial purposes so we can with good reason assume that the messages are at least E2E encrypted properly within the app and at least Signal servers.

Yes, of course if you have root access to the device itself, or otherwise hack it, you can compromise any messenger. But that's not even in the same league as having basically a message spying built-in, turned on, always on, inside your damn messenger app itself.

Whatsapp calling their app "E2E" in their marketing is a spit in the direction of the users that have the technical knowledge to understand how it really works. It is inaccurate in all the ways that matter. It is accurate only in one technical way that is completely irrelevant in the real world, just put there so they could use the phrase in the marketing while not caring about the true intent behind E2E.
> It is up to us to learn to make good choices, but He does not force us.

If you are saying that you are solely responsible for your own actions, why then you need an inert Bystander?

It is completely indifferent and you can choose any other Totem to run your thoughts by, or act in the Name of.

You can choose Neutrinos, for example. They are truly abundant and omnipresent -- quazillions of Neutrinos are passing through your body each femtosecond.
They are not forcing you to do anything (because they do not interact).
They are just filling your body with their presence.

You can talk to them and ask them for the Way, and they will share the same space with you to comfort you, as you know they are with you, but also leave you to your options.

The Neutrinos are fully inert Bystanders.
And? You think the post Xmas will somehow be better?

From these people's perspective, they are already on the losing side of a successful and massive coup, where even Mike Pence could be involved. So how does one recover from that narrative?

> The median 33% household income ("middle class") in the US is $30,000 to $62,500 (household).

What does this even mean? Median 33%? Median is 50% How can it have a range? Are you saying the 33th percentile household income in the US ranges from 30k to 62.5k depending on the state?

You can segment funnels if you use the API. In fact that's all a funnel is, a series of segments applied the the list of URLs you choose in the interface + their weird backfill mechanic.

Then you can create funnels based on dimensions and not just URLs.

Creating ad-hoc funnels that don't have the UI limitations and don't backfill are easy once you transition to the API.

But actually, don't transition to the API. Just start using their Big Query implementation, then you can write SQL against what is effectively marketing aware log analysis.

Or if you can afford it, just use Mix Panel...
Thanks, Thos. This is a helpful analogy and goes some way to explaining why designers have such strong (and often incompatible) preferences for one font over another where I don't necessarily see a lot of difference.
Quite interesting, especially the stuff about the SGML arcania.

One quibble: The conflation of tag and element in the article, making it hard to understand just what was meant.

For example, what is "tag content"?
I'm surprised Brad put bankers in one category and speculators in another. Much of the placement of major capital for growing industries and ventures is facilitated by financial institutions, hedge funds, private equity funds, and venture capital funds. Without getting into moral discussions or arguments about how much value is provided, but it's interesting to reflect on just how negative the connotation for banker has become, even compared to "speculators".
Your source is jumping big between the facts too

I've found once most companies reach a certain size, from an employee perspective they become less results-driven and more perf optics driven.

As a fact checker you have a lot of leeway of what is the subject of your fact checking. For example if there is a controversy over the height of a building that seemed to split opinion into two groups the highists and the lowists. If you wanted to write an article 'debunking' the highists claims you could find the most extreme claim about the height of the building then refute that claim and then claim the highists claim had been debunked.

If you pay attention to snopes you will see on some of their fact checks of politically controversial topics they will take this line where they will either weak man a position or strong man a position depending on what result they want to produce.
The Affordable Care Act was a blow to entry level workers in that regard. Now its probably more likely to have 2 jobs at 29.5 hours each then one at 40. Maybe the healthcare debates going on can address this

Sure, let's start with a million and go from there. Why would they want to go bigger? Money, that's why.

If someone was repeating that in a public space, we probably wouldn't, but if he had a series of megaphones screaming that at everyone, ala spammimg everyone's convos, many societies have laws against just that. Much of law is already using a "reasonable man". Standard, so why not this one?
>My guess is that Microsoft has a secret new OS (written from scratch) that's super modern and efficient and they're just waiting for the market opportunity to finally ditch Windows and bring out that new thing. I doubt it'll ever happen though because for "new" stuff (where you have to write all your stuff from scratch all over again) everyone expects the OS to be free.

More and more stuff gets offloaded onto the WSL for stuff which doesn't need interactive graphics or interoperability through the traditional windows IPC mechanisms.
> [...] spend years working on getting acquired instead of working on new chips (which happened to Altera) [...]

I'm interested in what you mean by this. I was working at Altera at the time the acquisition went through, on the software tools mind you, but I didn't notice a significant shift in strategy. Are you referring to before or after the acquisition was announced?

Don't know. Tbh. hibernation always worked for me, but I ironically close to never used it.

Through there is some hardware for which you will have a hard time to make hibernation work and the only reason why it works on windows is because the vendor explicitly provided a proprietary/closed source driver for their hardware.

And besides this there is the simple reason that Linux is server first. Servers generally don't do hibernation.
You the individual have no power to make Facebook, or any large organization, change its behavior. To it, you are like an ant is to a human. There is no "at the expense of the few" when you have nothing.

But just as a colony of ants can destroy a house, so too can we puny humans, when united, extract demands from huge corporations. Individual regulators do the actual fighting, but they do so on our behalf, with our collective backing.

(Side note: so cool of you for disagreeing with the social contract, though your edgy dissent is only possible because the majority do accept government.)

Belgrade? Not as far as I know.

Strategic bombing didn’t have the effect on German production that annoying would have predicted. Nor did it on Iraq in the first gulf war. I think it had some efficacy against the Japanese shipbuilding capacity but am not certain. Certainly it had no effect on Japanese support for the war effort right up to the day the Emperor gave his famous 1945 radio address.
