That's literally the case for almost every single american, if you are willing to go far enough down the rabbithole. Are you willing to question some americans about their presence in the US being, generationally, dependent on colonizing native american land?

I don't see how this is relevant to the discussion at hand at all. Given I am a US citizen not bound by visas or anything like that, how am I even theoretically able to "suppress wages"?

Your point about this just seems like the most pedantic "technically correct" statement that has zero relevancy. I disputed the fact that the 74% foreign-born number has anything to do with suppressing wages, as a lot of them are US citizens and can choose to work wherever they want (note: they dont even need to be US citizens for that, as green card allows that, along with a bunch of other visas). And your retort is that some of them used to be non-US citizens at some point? That doesn't address the point that the 74% number is useless in the context of this discussion.
The two times I got SSRIs prescribed both psychistrists underlined that fact. We are trying to find something which worked for me, and the first choice might not work out. For example, Fluoxetine (Prozac) got the adverse side effect that I got severe muscle fatigue. Basically, it makes me more sensitive to pain. But it also makes me less edgy. I find it counts for all drugs and even food (sugar makes thirsty, requires good dental hygiene; salt makes thirsty, pee less; yet we crave both in our food).
And they can't admit that the specification was fine - don't that would force them to effectively admit that there is a very small audience for this.
If you tax rent, you are taxing the building which is not the point of a land value tax.
The carriers probably don't have a choice.
>If we have that attitude to people owning things, then the first thing should be wealth tax on jewelry, cars, boats, and other luxury items which if you can't afford to pay the tax then you should be forced to sell it.

That actually makes sense if you want to avoid price gouging and scalping over the short term.

If you tax wealth then people will try to reduce the amount of wealth they have which is undesirable over the long term. If you tax land, people will reduce the amount of land they use, which is exactly what you want in an urban environment.
So question from novice in containers, podman vs docker why should i consider switching from docker?
If rich text formatting is your feature proposal for a social media network should I even care about it. Users care about a larger abstracted view about what you can do differently with what you can do with the smn interface. Flaunting rich text formatting feels like a core developer's achivement rather than a technology achievement. Do correct me if I am wrong.
So, identity theft only then.
Thanks for that. I am literally more disappointed than when I found out there was no Santa Claus.

Now I'm too sad to work, instead of just being too lazy.
Why does the argument have to be 'new' or 'deep'. Many of the best arguments are extremely old (perhaps timeless would be a better way of saying it), and are also very simple in their logic.
I'll come at this question from a different angle.

We made a decision in our last startup to actually turn down a term sheet and go heads down instead of taking money from a VC which we had seen a number of red flags from but had committed to leading a round of funding.

I know it was the right decision to make it and even though it seemed hard at the time I never once regretted it, but I have no doubts that if we had taken the investment I would have regretted it almost every day since
>Except there's no provable way to distinguish between "attack traffic" and normal traffic.

Depends on the DDOS method used. Stuff like the NTP abuse of a few years ago could be sinkholed without effecting any real users. HTTP DDOS has pretty low impact per node so most attackers use some form of amplification attack with other protocols.
I think the first one of these I saw was this one, back in 2004ish, I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S53Mly3A8c8
Google, Apple, Facebook are the tech companies.

Even though they are enterprises, the term enterprise software often refer to the other companies, who use tech as an aid to run their main businesses.

Think about Box, MobileIron, and many such companies targeted to enterprises and who their consumers are. That is the enterprise software market.
In the early 2000s mozillazine and others were covered with posts asking how to display and update a favicon reliably. Browsers seemed to randomly display and update it and your post explain some things I saw back then.
Her career as the CEO of HP wasn't such a great success for the company. However she did pretty well for herself: a $20M severance package after she was forced to resign.[1]

"Judgments on Fiorina's tenure at HP are mixed. In 2008, Infoworld grouped her with a list of products and ideas as flops, declaring her to be the 'anti-Steve Jobs' for reversing the goodwill of American engineers and for alienating existing customers. In 2008, Loren Steffy of The New York Times suggested that the EDS acquisition well after Fiorina's tenure was evidence that her actions as CEO were justified. Fiorina has often been ranked as one of the worst CEOs of all time."[1]

This is fascinating to me. What is the mechanism by which this happens? The added load causes an average slow down across the population of actual spinning generator bits?
Three cheers for mithril.js! I've used it for a number of things, including a complete rewrite of a heavy old app that used Ext.js. It was very simple to set up dynamic page assembly for very fast and flexible UIs.

I've tried mentioning it to friends in web dev, but they don't seem to be willing -- if they even look at it, they never try it out. At this point, I just shrug and go back to my simple, reliable and fast pages which load in KB instead of MB...

I doubt that a court would find that sufficient; it seems overly broad and therefore ambiguous, but hey, I'm not a lawyer.
Yes but casinos have lots of money to constantly lobby and enable the way of addiction one way or another. There are lots of addicts in casinos, I'm not saying that most of them are but quite a bit of casino frequenters are addict and any changes in legislation that would make these people not come back would reduce income which in turn would reduce taxes and so on. One hand scratches the other.

Great analysis from John Batelle on why Groupon is unique. I watched Andrew Mason's interview on Charlie Rose, and also his Startup School talk and they really seem to have hit a huge well of potential. Can't wait to see what Groupon 2.0 looks like.
No kidding, very first example gives: IndexError at /p/start and the full trace. (edit) actually, I get an array out of bounds on several if not all of the examples.
Yeah it's called c#.
"It depends where his costs lie. If the ratio of piracy/buyers remains constant, and he is making money right now. Greater volume -> greater profits."

I seriously doubt the buyer/pirate ratio is going to stay constant or increase with increased pirate views. Why would it?

When I was younger, I would pirate the hell out of anything and everything. I would only buy it if it was too difficult to actually find/crack. Many pirates will just give up (and not pay either way). But, I think a larger percentage of people that would actually buy it (compared to the number of pirates that will pay a dollar out of the kindness of their hearts).
No. You have two Mac Pros inside your MacPro. Guys, it has a left hemisphere and a right hemisphere! (Obviously not in shape, but roughly analogous). Yes, it's even got a "collosum" as a little piece of tape, which broke the ability to do battery charging completely when it fell off. (Yes, you need those damnable star-shaped screwdrivers to open the case, just go buy a kit). The tape is pretty obvious to find, and located fairly centrally. You'll notice it.

You know, you can "upgrade" your Mac Pro's firmware quite easily by first removing that tape, then taking the USB-c cable and wrapping it around your laptop, connected to both sides (either of the two ports on each side works).

Then just play with it a bit and see what changes. ;)

This sort of dismissive attitude coupled with a circular justification is the epitome of user hostility, and an unattractive norm in the tech community.
Mind you, this 1 in 10k risk is an estimate, and for safety reasons, a maximum estimate.

Actual risk is likely much lower, as you have to touch contaminated surface, then transfer the virus to nose, mouth or eyes.
For public areas, properly worn masks help prevent part of the transfer too, by making it mechanically less likely, and giving more time for evaporation to inactivate the virus (e.g. by airflow)

Fomite infection risk would be higher if a contaminated surface is brought to a presumed clean area, with low ventillation, with no additional precautions taken by people.

You just reinvented VAT.

VAT is passed “through” a company, I mean for this to be charged to the company on what is normally considered income. Essentially, since corporations are supposedly people, they can pay income tax like people.
Where's the proof of that? Because it's not in the random Twitter allegation.

Who asked him to stop? What specifically was said? When was he reported? When did he keep doing it?

I've heard this allegation multiple times, and have yet to see any proof.
How do you reconcile this with the observation that seemingly every single child in the United States is diagnosed with this condition and prescribed drugs to treat it? Watching from Europe, where roughly nobody is diagnosed with it nor prescribed drugs to treat it, I’m always baffled, fascinated and horrified watching Americans talk about it.
And at sending/receiving pictures... MMS was even more expensive here.
> they're part of what I would call "critical social infrastructure."

Really? That seems a depressingly low bar for what you consider "critical". If WhatsApp would disappear tomorrow, I think my social infrastructure would not suffer at all. I still have a smartphone with hundreds of other apps, including iMessage, SMS, and so on..

Besides that, I only consider real human interaction as critical.

> Asking to leave WhatsApp is like cancelling your contract with your ISP and going offline just because you don't like the company.

Sounds kind of depressing again. Not sure where you live, but most countries in the world have more than one ISP. I have switched ISP often in my lifetime. Never was it an issue, nor a massive burden and it has not caused me to go offline at all.
> I am in the camp that there are alot of things we try to solve (and sacrifice things like usability) at a technical level that we should be solving at a social level.

I agree in theory but unfortunately I think we need both. I have little confidence in either on it's own. And I've been burned too much by vendor lock-in in the past to ever advocate for ANY service that isn't federated (I use many non-federated services but out of necessity, I would never sell others on them).

I should add that successful & popular federated online messaging services are something we've had since the 1960s so I have yet to see any compelling reason to be perpetuating the walled-garden approach beyond a preference for a totalitarian approach to ecosystem control.
From my experience working in (municipal) government, every agency/department wants their own look and feel. Everybody wants to be special instead of having a unified look.

I'm not saying one is more right over the other, but it's a reason why it happens.
It would be cool to have a LuaJIT/Inferno/dis hybrid.
Flashblock is not needed on Chrome - go to settings/advanced/content settings/plugins and select "click to play". Now flash will not run automatically. But you can decide to click on something and allow it to play if you want. Works great - no plugin needed.
Exchanges exist because BTC doesn't ban anything. As long as people want to use exchanges there might be exchanges. It's an easy concept really.
Brilliant! I wish I had an excuse to use this for something. ;)

Not that I'm a big fan of Gawker as a whole, but I want to know who the hell thought it was important for gawker to have an ajaxy interface with ajax page loading of posts.

AFAWK (As Far As Wikipedia Knows), operations research as a formal area kicked off in 1937 and had 1000 people working on it in Britain during World War 2. It may in fact be true that some techniques from AI have cross-fertilized but the credibility of the claim that "we owe operations research and supply chain management to AI" is very low.

What's next: Minsky traveled back in time in a LISP Machine and impregnated the Rev. Bayes' mother?

I'm willing to give 'em Prolog (take it, please!) but the confluence of FP and AI might owe more to the fact that AI (especially 'strong AI') was considered a Big Deal early on in computing and as such, ideas that were invented/used contemporaneously tend to be associated with AI.
Read this article and tell me this company was not bootstrapped by Elon. [0] Just because they went on to raise huge amounts of VC money doesn't mean anything. He was the one who took all that risk and nearly went bankrupt, not the VC's that now are about to reap the rewards. This is not to knock the VC money, those guys are awesome for believing in the mission.

How one reports a yellow cab driver in NYC:

1. Remember to get the cab medallion number during your ride.

2. Go online to submit a fairly lengthy report to TLC, alongside your contact info.

3. Nothing for 2 months

4. Someone calls you asking you for details. You may even have to show up to a hearing. By this point you forget almost the entire issue.

5. The cabbie who ignored you, drove dangerously, scammed you has been driving for months without a registered complaint and nothing will happen.

New York Yellow Cab is the best too—cabs in the Bay Area, for instance, were absolutely awful before Uber. I also cannot imagine Taxi companies were stewards of fair labor practices before Uber either.
"documented in linux early as 2007, FreeBSD in 2016," ... no wonder its lesser known. Don't think i've had a use case for this since 2007, can't actually think up a situation where i'd want it now.
hopefully it gets resolved, Uber is much more convenient than traditional taxis, I love that you pay via the app and know the route you're taking, however the issue around unauthorised drivers using regular drivers' profiles is worrying
I think to claim an x-flation, you need to be describing more than just a price/quantity change. It has to be at "monetary" scale.

Anyway, the end of definition for shrinkflation (or inflation/deflation generally) is the interesting part these days

"process of items shrinking in size or quantity, or even sometimes reformulating or ^^reducing quality ^^"...per dollar.

Shrinking burger sizes (most of the Wikipedia examples, amusingly) aren't a trend to be worried about. There's only so much that can go under the radar.

Reformulating or reducing quality OTOH... This one is a total black box in many senses. It's hard to say if services are increasing/decreasing in quantity and quality. These are far less legible than steel & automobiles.

What's the price controlled trend in quantity/quality for financial services, legal services, etc. educational services.... These illegibles are trending up, as a proportion of the overall economy, so their trends matter a lot.

I strongly recommend daily one minute power ball, when I was having slight pain after 3 day of using powerball all went away, yet still I am not expert so I could only recommend with caution. Also I make sure my chair arms at the same levels as table. Additionally I am using Microsoft natural ergonomic keyboard and Logitech master mx mouse but I am not sure if they are doing any good.
Getting the card reader to work is going to require some mechanical dexterity. The card reader can get finicky if the cards have swollen any.

"way easier" depends on what you are familiar with.

If you are familiar with "querying the entirety of wikimedia server logs" and do it all the time (the word "entirety" makes it seem like a big deal, but they clearly have tools meant for this that they use all the time)... and have never learned to use "mitmproxy/Charles etc" before....

It sounds like the "querying the entirety of the server logs" for this task probably took them tens of minutes at most. It would probably take me at least an hour or two to learn how to use "mitmproxy/Charles etc".

So "way easier"?

If you have to do this sort thing all the time, it might be useful to install and learn how to use "mitmproxy/Charles etc", why not? Certainly worth considering. But if the tools you have are working for you...

I mean, what they did seems like it worked to get them the answer and was pretty efficient, using the toolset they use all the time for dealing with wikimedia ops... Seems like some good detective work to me. I get the desire to point out other tools that would be well-suited for this kind of task, but why the need to point it out as if they did something wrong or not "way easier"? Sounds like what they did was pretty easy for them, and they didn't need to learn new tools to make it "way easier".

I enjoyed hearing about how they tracked this down, and found it useful. Pointing out how they didn't use the "right" tools just makes it less likely people will be willing to share their processes.
The ability to start containers as a normal user ("rootless mode") is quite interesting and imo the most significant feature missing from LXD, which requires you to either use sudo or be a part of the "lxc" group (equivalent to having sudo privileges).
They use your data (income, financial situation (do you have a mortgage, etc.)) to determine what financial products (which credit cards, personal loans, mortgages, etc.) to offer you.

This would all be in addition to what they knew about your credit score or anything else you input on the other parts of their platform.

But as others pointed out, that part of CK got split off when Intuit bought them.

I was expecting a story about how/why it was introduced into Unicode (many parts of it have interesting stories). This is completely content-free.
And it can create a folder for every extension of a the original folder, moving all the files to a new folder with the name of their extensions.
For example if you have a folder with .pdf .otf and .ttf you can use it to have a new folder for each and automatically have the pdf's, otf files a fonts moved to their new folders.
My take is that FB lost its value when it started to become taken over by content that wasn't part of its initial offerings. Instead of photos and personal posts, we mostly see news, political posts, ads, pages, groups, etc. It starts to become more like an aggregator of things we did not initially intend to follow, but we've chosen to follow bit-by-bit - maybe that speaks to the design of Facebook leading us down that road.

Instagram was better for the longest time. I noticed a trend of friends using Facebook for events and nothing else, but they were still posting personal content on Instagram. But during this presidency, with everyone being politically charged and angry all the time, I noticed people were posting political content to leverage their Instagram followers, and now that too is overwhelmed by it.

All that said, Twitter comes off to me as the biggest cesspool. Its entire format is built around short hot takes, sniping at others, "virality", and other societal dark patterns. Reddit is almost at the same degree of cesspoolery with their new designs. Both are also a lot more of an echo chamber than Facebook for me, although I do like that you can use them anonymously (without a real name). Personally, I really can't see why all this hatred is directed at Facebook when Twitter and Reddit are around.

But this isn't a binary choice either. I do get the sense that society would be better off if everyone disengaged and de-escalated from social media in general. It's just hard because it's an effective way to spread one's (political) ideas and gain exposure, and so it's a bit like asking for mutual disarmament.
That's the absence of a downside, which isn't quite the same thing. There is practically no scenario where not having a headshot gives you an advantage over those who have headshots.
