According to discussions I've been reading about this [1], it seems that more than _half_ of the applications on BB App World come from just four developers: a staggering 67,500 apps.

No it isn't.

For starters, I regularly have to first convince Google that I don't want to do just a local search in my country or my language. Simply setting my preferences (which are hard to find and confusing) once won't do it.

If I do happen to go along with Google's insistence in making my world a smaller place, I get confronted not having my options at the usual place, or under the usual labels (Google still can't keep interface language and local search apart), or worse: features that are missing completely.

Try to find something that has to do with software development but that happens to contain one keyword that also has meaning in the local language on a localized version of Google. It's a fucking joke. Gets even worse if Google assumes you misspelled the technical term in question.

That probably has a lot to do with network effects - even if a lot of people would be hesitant to use Facebook, all their friends are on there rather than a more privacy-preserving alternative. Same reason everyone keeps using eBay even though they continue to get shitter and shitter.

I switched to DuckDuckGo for search for one of the reasons you listed - Google felt the need to guess what I was thinking and it felt like, most of the time, it was getting it wrong (especially with synonym search). One of DuckDuckGo's stated policies is not to modify what you search[0]. The fact that DDG doesn't collect information about me is just a plus.

They aren't destitute, sure, but they really aren't paid that well either--judging from the other comments in this thread, a junior banker gets $150k for 100 hrs/wk of work. That's equivalent to making 60k at a 40 hrs/wk job; entry-level software engineers can (they certainly don't always, but can) clear twice that.

Although, working 100 hour weeks definitely helps you save the money you do earn--since you never have time to spend it.
The only way to do this fully automatic is to integrate a partial C compiler, able to understand the pre-processor and all types of declarations.
It is a prediction of some physical theories that magnetic monopoles could exist from the origin of the universe (and it kinda seems like they should, 'cause other than the existence of one kind of charge and the other, there's no good reason to see either half of electromagnetism as more fundamental than the other- both kinds of field can generate the other, and how much of each one you think you have depends on your inertial frame since they're relativistic transformations of each other), but no one has shown that you can make them, pulling the poles of a magnet apart like you can pull electrons away from protons.
I think it has to be socially visible because it is a form of jewelry. 99% of the customer base will already have a mobile device with an easily accessible clock. Since it is a non-traditional timepiece, it might even benefit from non-traditional presentation--like being worn on a hat or backpack or something.
After reading the article I spent the last half hour looking deeper into the Yakuza. It's quite amazing just how integrated they are into Japanese society, that they have a strong, highly respected morale code and the way they are semi-legal entities that the government/police (mostly) ignore.

You are wrong.

I might have agreed with you 20 years ago, but I know better now.

Practice describing the flavours of the wine you drink, and your flavour memory and perception will improve over time. I generally drink a glass or two every evening, and it's usually a new wine, one I've never tasted before. I've written hundreds of tasting notes. One of the most interesting things to come out of this is finding out something later - e.g. a notable region or producer - and then correlating this with past notes. I noted things myself, over multiple samplings, which I later found - via experts - were expected attributes within the category.
I think that the name of the tactic is dependant on the intent of the attack, rather than the results. This does admittedly get dicey at times.

If the intent of the attack is direct attrition against an enemy force and supporting infrastructure, then it's guerilla warfare, even if most of the victims are civilians due to poor planning, bad information, etc. This may get particularly tricky in the case of suicide bombings in Israel - since virtually the entire country is part of the reserves, you could make the argument that any attack is an attack against the military infrastructure. I'd say that for it to be legitimate guerilla warfare, there must be at least a vaguely plausible plan for success. In the case of suicide bombings in Israel, they would then have to have a plan of killing the entire population of the country as a way of ending the fight, and their tactics would have to be a plausible way to carry that out. I don't think it fits that definition, so that would make it terrorism.

2 and 3 are ordinary warfare IMO, because they are both done by states and have the intent of attacking enemy forces. They may or may not be done with flimsy information, and the state in question and the militant group they are fighting against may both be in violation of assorted laws of war under various legal systems, but it's still conventional warfare.
I followed the original thread for awhile, I think the reason Scott experienced such vitriol from feminists is his holding on to the belief that his problems were worse than other people's problems. They're not. They feel that way because it's you experiencing them, but they're not. Because privilege.

I bared my soul once to a group of feminists on a private message board, and got a similar reaction. And after a lot of self-inquiry, came to understand what is meant by privilege. It's a tough thing to internalize, but I think it's important to.

Privilege, in Scott's case, means you get an escape hatch thrown to you. Later on down the line, society itself pulls you out of the dumps because society wants and needs you, a white man, to solve their problems for them. As bad as it is when you're young and rudderless, society itself wants you to succeed. So you will receive success, on your terms, despite how bad it seems right now.

For those without privilege, there is no escape except what you manage to claw from the world by hook or by crook. You need the support network, you need the help of the like-minded. If you don't manage to find the support, and you're not mentally wired to do whatever it takes to succeed, you're fucked. Forced to fit your life into whatever little box society expects you to fit in. To be what other people want you to be instead of what you want to be.

Going through life as a minority means that when you have the sorts of problems Scott has, you don't get to get over it. Society deems that you deserve to have these problems, that you're not worth fixing.

What feminists want is not for you to give up privilege, you can't. They just want you to acknowledge the fact that you're privileged. That you don't have to work so hard for it. That is what the movement has decided is the next step towards healing the rift.

The feminism movement knows what it's doing. There are very smart people who've learned the lessons of social struggle from way back in the seventies who are carefully crafting the philosophies aimed at fixing that inborn tendency of human beings to subjugate the out-group.

Simply understanding and acknowledging the full extent of privilege is all that's being asked of you. It's tough. It requires hard conversations and personal inquiry on the part of all people, not just males, not just white people.

Scott didn't acknowledge it, and so invoked the full wrath of the feminist movement. Not saying he deserved it, but that's where it ultimately stems.

Just wanted to comment that setting up your own CA is the solution I chose to go with to continue filtering HTTPS sites. Certificate pinning can prevent this, but apps or devices that employ that can simply be uninstalled or resold.

Right, I'm aware of that, but many Americans' aversion to the left stems precisely from drummed up rhetoric about the left being "big government" "socialists" and "communists" that want to rob them of their freedoms.

This is not true, the Pfizer vaccine does not prevent you from carrying the virus and spreading it to others who do not have the vaccine. This is what a medical professional told me who was required to get the vaccine. Their entire department had to get vaccinated (Pfizer, not Moderna) and they are still required to wear masks for this very reason. Do your research.
They can’t stop the service though. At most they can delay it while the government changes contractors.

This strikes me as being somewhat similar to the historic relationship between auto makers and dealers. Before dealer protection laws (that we now hate so much), an auto maker could really just put any dealer out of business once the dealer had shown that there was a viable market in that area.

It's a few years later and now we have several businesses who's business model is essentially reselling amazon services (s3), and once they've shown it's a viable business (dropbox) we can expect amazon to come in and undercut them.

There are two factors that might prevent amazon from being too successful in the consumer storage area.

1. Dropbox's UI, apps, and filesystem integration are both very well designed and pretty technically complex. It might seem trivial to design something as good, but I promise you it's not.

2. Consumer storage pricing is in a race to the bottom, but consumer storage volume is increasing exponentially. Once people start uploading all their home videos to this service, will amazon be able to afford to run this business unit?

> the SSA seems to say that you're required to ensure that foreign employees obtain social security numbers

But you cannot issue Social Security Number (SSN) for foreigner without going through immigration process.

I think the same immigration process that would block employers from issuing SSN would also block any foreign contractor from winning "I was de-facto employee" case in court.

My experience is much more like the one described by the_af .

IntelliJ is OK for most Scala code, but it regularly makes a mess of anything complicated. So much so that, in our office, the first answer to "why doesn't this code compile" is "Does it really not compile, or is IntelliJ being dumb again?" It's usually the latter.

I think it depends on what style of Scala you use. Anything involving slick or spray tends to confuse IntelliJ. Its better in 14, but it's still not good.

The refactoring is bad enough that I hardly ever bother using it. It gets simple things mostly right, but doing that by hand is just as easy. It can't do the more useful things like method signature changes.

The tooling support for Scala is improving, but its at about 10 years behind Java tooling.
"Yeah, and that's the main reason I'd support making the obstruction of major roads into a very mild ticketable offense"

In most (maybe all) major cities in the US (and probably most small cities, too), it is in fact a minor ticketable (and thus arrestable) offense. It is so in Nashville, and this police chief opted to not enforce the law in this case to help insure safety and to respect the right of assembly of the protestors. There are court cases that indicate that even gatherings that disrupt things (whether that's traffic or whatever), even without a permit, may still be protected free speech and assembly. It is a delicate balance that our courts are tasked with upholding.

It's worth noting that the people protesting often spend quite a lot of time discussing who will be affected by the protest and whether there will be undue hardships on people least able to cope with those hardships. It is rare that a social justice oriented protest does not consider, and have plans in place, to try to minimize the negative impact on those populations most at risk.

I've been pretty involved in protests and organizing in my city for the past several years, on the issue of police accountability and many others, and an emergency vehicle (fire truck, ambulance) would simply never have trouble getting through a protest, in my experience (and I've seen marches or rallies clear the way for EMTs).

Inconvenience is a thing that happens sometimes. My city shuts down downtown for a month for SXSW. That inconveniences everyone who doesn't want to participate in SXSW, and does so for literally weeks (not minutes like most protests do), so much so that it can take an extra hour to get some places during SXSW, and yet it doesn't raise the ire of people who get angry at the first sign of delay due to a protest.

In short, the needs of lower income workers on buses, trains, etc. is often discussed and factored into protest action plans.
Xiaomi doesn't have to factor in IP rights and R&D, that keeps costs down. I doubt, however, that "stealing" from Apple is a viable business model in the long term.

> ... but criminally don't face anywhere near the same levels of punishment.

We generally do not punish corporations harshly for criminal wrongdoing because (1) punishing the corporation mostly harms the shareholders, who aren't responsible because they only have indirect control over the corporation, and (2) the individual employees who commit crimes face criminal prosecution and punishment.

[Edit]

I regret that my comment was taken as one endorsing corporations or their shareholders profiting from crimes. That was not my intent.

I am looking to write some scientific programs in which I have a good degree of confidence is accurate and are easily understandable, maintainable, and extendible. Speed, in terms of both writing the programs and running them, is also a factor. Theoretically, I can write these programs in just about any language. However, I get the impression Haskell can do all this in a well-balanced way. At the least, I hear claims of such.

This isn't accurate, FYI. Sam has himself a Ringbearer moment when he imagines himself as a great warrior. Sam's untouchability was more a function of the brevity of his exposure.

This is another reason why my interest shifted to I2P over Tor.

Tor is designed more as a proxy to the cleaner, but I2P is focused on internal services, this it would take extra steps to use it for DOS attacks against plain ok websites. If you want to be available to I2P users, you basically opt-in to the network, as opposed to Tor's effectively opt-out approach. I2Ps design is supposedly better at dealing with DDOS attacks, but I don't exactly know the specifics of how that is.

Overall, I think Tor will decline in usage over the next decade because it's too easy to use it nefariously and more institutions will find ways to block it.
