This isn't addressing the parent comment at all. Does the trust plan to market dump coins on their users?
My view on what the thread is saying, is that having everyone aligned on the same page of how to work and communicate means you don’t waste time on arguing on how to work and communicate.

Instead things become frictionless and the organization can become fluid.
When company culture is created without it becoming the defining factor in performance reviews. Or having your calendar filled with daily culture events that just make entire coworker relationships feel forced.
Ah cool, it would be neat to see a response from OP about this!
> I'd prefer we solve things more directly. Break up big business via anti-trust. Stop businesses from buying one another. Rather than raising taxes let's just simplify the tax code so it's automatic and there is minimal ambiguity or flexibility for creative tax accounting.

Well, I don't see how it's feasible or desirable to do things more directly. You're saying BigCos are a problem, and you want to disincentivize their formation, then picking them on one-by-one basis will actually require more expertise and more effort, compared to having laws (e.g. tax laws) that apply broadly, and then enforce these laws.

We have laws precisely so that we wouldn't have to decide every case individually, and that the rules are clear to everyone, so they can avoid possible (and arbitrary) punishment.

I also think that as long as you want to tax all corporations the same, there will always be an inherent advantage in being big. That's why many people suggest progressive taxation in various forms to disincentivize such empire-building.

> Raising taxes to hope we catch the big guys doesn't seem like a smart plan to me.

This is a straw man - nobody is arguing just for raising taxes and then not enforcing those laws, we would love to enforce these laws of course. But having them is the first step to enforcement, I don't think your approach (enforce something without support from laws) is more viable, even legally. It requires more regulatory expertise, which you argue we are lacking compared to corporations.

Also nobody is really arguing against tax code simplification, but it only can get you so far.
They could’ve. But just because they didn’t, doesn’t mean they’re complicit. Someone else mentioned Jim Crow laws as an example of unjust laws that should’ve been fought against. That doesn’t mean everyone who didn’t fight is complicit. If you don’t have the willpower or firepower (legal arguments) to fight something, that doesn’t make you bad for backing out.
Yes. And it drives me crazy. There is a "defaults write" command to fix it once and for all, right? Please tell me there is.
This is why the UK National Grid switched its transformer specs to no longer install three phase five limbed in the 1990s. Those are particularly vulnerable to damage.
No Windows doesn't have any fallback DNS servers configured. It will use the ones provided by DHCP or the ones you configure manually.

I don't know about the newest version of macOS but iOS and the versions of macOS I used didn't have any fallback DNS servers.

I wouldn't want a feature like that enabled by default. It can be useful if I have the option to configure it but enabled by default populated with DNS servers chosen by whoever submitted the pull request? No thanks.
YES!!! I've been waiting for someone to do this for a decade or more.

This + https://tldr.sh/ and the command line will be so much easier for me (but especially beginners!).

With your tool, having an easy way to copy and paste your personal usage into some central website and then have some scripts would be a great thing to show aggregates.

You could probably just create a single new repo and people could send PR's with their usage dumped to CSV (and they could remove any person info manually before). Then you just have a script that reads those CSVs and prints a nice web page with summary data.
Zoom calls and group chats are definitely less bad than Twitter or Facebook or Reddit, but they are nowhere close to as good as IRL.

Note that I have worked mostly remote jobs for a couple years now, so I'm not opposed to partially remote, but frequent visits to the client IRL are necessary, and if you're part of a team it's even more important to meet together.
So just like marriage...

I worked at McDonalds at various times during the 1970s and 1980s. What went into the fry vats was labeled "100% vegetable shortening." It looked exactly like Crisco - execpt it came in large bricks instead of cans.

I did remember hearing folks claiming they used beef tallow back then as well.
Well ... the really savvy ones knew he was running a scam, they just thought he was using profits from front running (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_running) in his other business to even out the returns of the fund. They didn't think he was so much a crook that it was instead all a Ponzi scheme.
Comcast made an intentional misrepresentation of material existing fact, for the purpose of inducing someone to purchase service from them. That person relied upon that misrepresentation, and sustained loss of time and business revenue as a result, and possibly also capital loss on resale of the "unserviceable" house. Purchasing the house was a necessary precondition to buying Comcast service, and the blogger did not wish to buy a house without service. Comcast didn't confirm their misrepresentation until long after the damage was already done.

The blogger seems to have adequate grounds to file a civil fraud suit, wherein he might ask that he be made whole for the losses sustained as a result of the misrepresentation, or compel Comcast to act to make their false statements truthful. Basically, pay for the aggravation, or do whatever it takes to provide service to the house, at their own expense. I'm not a lawyer, but this guy should definitely go for a consultation with the ambulance-chasingest, billboard-advertisingest attorney in his county.

And then demand a jury trial. There is no way that any given 12 people from the jury pool could see the facts of the case, and not want to curbstomp Comcast into oblivion.
Totally true. It would be great to have some real stats about how often options earn a profit. But keep in mind this is at best an upper bound on that.
Yes, because the "minimum living standard" has risen due to the extra income. If everyone's income doubled (adjusted for inflation), that then so would what society considers a minimum living.

This sentiment also seems to gloss over the contribution of stay at home partners. Just because they don't get paid, doesn't mean they aren't producing anything. Thus, the jump in resources from moving to double income is not the full amount of the second income.

Yes, if the charity is geting 2x the spending with the fundraiser, that means the fundraiser is getting 1/3 of the funds. Pretty gross, IMHO, but if the charity needs (or can reasonably use) 2x the funds, it's kind of hard to argue against the results.
I know you're joking but I still don't understand why (+ x y) is a good idea: clearly the first argument has a different meaning than the other, IMHO +(x y) show better the difference between the operation a d the arguments..
well http digest auth is stupid. it looks more secure because the password is not sent unencrypted over the wire. however it still is bad.

kerberos or even basic auth (because the password can be checked on the server against a real algorithm) would've made this impossible.
Definitely C++ for me. Just to have templates and things like vector, array, variant, span, if nothing else.

But these days I may prefer Rust over the two instead, if it’s not a numeric-heavy program.
They seem to count ALL forms of travel (walking, biking, driving). Also the definition of a trip is to go from one address to another. So when I walk over to my neighbors house across the street it is technically a trip.

https://nhts.ornl.gov/vehicle-trips

For vehicle trips:

21.4% of trips are 1 mile or less.

35.2% of trips are 2 miles or less.

45.6% of trips are 3 miles or less.
I couldn't figure out what all the boxes were for or why the big box truncated my comment at around 20 characters.
1.5 miles is not just doable, it's trivial. 10mph is a pretty easy speed on a bike, which would make it take 9 minutes. If you build up some strength and/or upgrade to an ebike you can cut that in half.
First month is tough, getting gradually easier. Probably easier to have a few small snacks to make up your day, followed by a bulky low calorie meal in the evening (I used to go for a small chicken breast in a stir fry with minimal oil - protein feels more satisfying).

Now I kind of enjoy it (one day a week). I occasionally stop, i.e. on holiday, and I do notice a bit of lethargy creeping in a time to time.

Otherwise, just get a cookbook and go for recipes that are less than 600 calories (that's the total I allow my self on a fast day).

Should have the same health test in March, so hopefully one day a week is still doing well (I have a blood pressure monitor to check that and and mine still down, actually it improved when I went from 2 to 1 day a week, maybe because I was eating a lot of crap to try and keep my weight up).

Have a google about for BBC's Horizon "Eat fast live longer". I can't find a full length version on youtube just now, but I am sure it is somewhere on the web. That's what inspired me.
Captive portals are fine if you use a VPN. When I go on a flight, I visit a non-https site, get redirected to the WiFi login-or-pay, pay, and then connect to my VPN. All traffic after that (to the airline) is encrypted. Plus, airlines would never start blocking VPNs because you would lose all of your business customers.
All of those people say exactly the same thing about cancer. "You should try this tea!"

John Diamond (died of throat cancer) wrote some books about it.

It doesn't matter what you call a mental illness: you're going to find ignorant idiots giving stupid worthless advice or voicing their horrible uninformed stigmatising opinion as if it's obvious fact.
Is this actually only about the calendar entry, or is there more to the complaint? From a separate article at Online Athens (http://onlineathens.com/local-news/2014-12-03/uga-continuing...):

there's some hope here -- if they use Widevine for their DRM platform, and you're okay with using Google Chrome to view. if they go with Adobe Primetime/Flash Access (or any other DRM platform), we're basically screwed
This is a huge first step to modern tv watching. I have DirecTV and Verizon FiOS internet, which is something like $200 per month. I am offered no bundled deals, so this is immensely appealing.

If they include local channels I would seriously consider giving this a try. I also hope it comes to Fire TV.

The other questions would be what about when you miss a show? Could you watch old episodes from the current season for free?

UPDATE: Looks like a DVR like functionality is not available yet and you can only watch from one device at a time. http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/05/sling-tv/
If you walk into a sit down restaurant in the US with a plan not to tip, you are being pretty obnoxious.

It's not complicated, tips in that situation aren't extra, they are part of the compensation of the entire staff of the restaurant (the waiters usually tip the bussers and the kitchen...).

If you don't like the arrangement, you should refrain from eating in such places.
Because you would not eat there if the employer paid decent wages and passed it on to you by charging 30% more than the "tipping" restaurant next door.

The only way to get around this is to mandate higher minimum wages for hospitality workers, putting every restaurant on a level playing field. This is what they do in Australia and many European countries.
Thanks for the datapoints. I wonder whether Austin is atypical: i.e. has the availability of Google Fiber has forced the incumbents to offer more rational pricing?

I would hope that the future is Google Fiber + Dish TVoIP, and this is just the first step. I'm personally not unhappy with comcast, but more competition would be great.
Social engineering once you have the last four digits of the credit card number and the billing address is almost certainly enough to score full credit card numbers. (e.g. use them to reset password for e.g. Amazon account).
The thing is, stars are so far apart from each other that there won't be any collisions.
From wikipedia: "While the Andromeda Galaxy contains about 1 trillion (1012) stars and the Milky Way contains about 300 billion (3×1011), the chance of even two stars colliding is negligible because of the huge distances between the stars."

Ideally. Or in case they might agree with him. The therapeutic relationship should be one where the therapist offers the patient a mirror/lens/toolbox regarding their own views and behavior, and a patient's beliefs about their therapist's biases one way or another can interfere with that.

It may be interesting to note that GTA:V's leaked build logs featured some notes about an "auto play bot test failed at {mission}".
I'm pretty sure they would have to have similar tests (although perhaps at a smaller scale) for older GTA's as well.
...okay, "sunpar", we can have that argument once you fix your username.
But its such a profound failure, it warrants skepticism of the field. Or at least of schools that purport to teach a skill, then fail at that entirely.
Yikes, the title does not do this justice. No mere error, the scare quotes are there because the data was fudged. You don't clip data out like that without intent to mislead.

How is that clear?

I don't have rosy feelings about Apple. But their primary business is designed around making the iPhone environment pleasant and unscary. While Google's is about optimally monetizing information about me.

I trust Apple and Google just the same... to both do their best to follow their business interests. It just happens that one happens to align more with my interests than the other.

If you think Apple and Google handle privacy essentially the same aside from superficial marketing, I think that means you don't understand what either of them want.
I can offer a somewhat unusual perspective on Tesla and SpaceX, from the manufacturing POV, because I never did sign their production NDAs, although I have made parts for them.

Producing for Musk companies is a fucking shit show. Specifications change mid-production on a constant basis, to a ridiculously comical extent. I honestly can’t imagine what the hell is wrong with these people that they change hole locations and part geometry for every single order, knowing full well that 1000 of 1000 units have already been produced and boxed and loaded onto pallets.

As an Elon Musk fan, it was rude surprise that their shit is so fucked.

I tried holding off on production until the last possible nanosecond, but no. No good. Changes happened the day orders are due.

The only Musk work I do at this point is emergency corrections for other local outfits who made parts with rapidly evolving and mutating requirements.

I thought that the designers would settle down as Tesla and SpaceX get through production hell, but they seem committed to mass production of no-two-things-ever-the-same.

I drive a Model S and I figure probably most things people make and do are objectively retarded, I just happen to know more than I want about this particular retardation.
> We are living in a period of competing moral certitudes, of people who are awfully sure they’re right and fully prepared to be awful about it.

Well said, and absolutely right.

That's on one side. The other side is awful in a different way. Hence the attack on the Capitol.
I guess I don't understand the quote from Microsoft's statement. Canonical provides "implementation and technical support," right? But they're not allowed to use user data from Microsoft to market those services? How else would that data even be useful for Canonical's "implementation and technical support" services?

> The conflation of the two is absolutely a neo-puritan problem.

No, I think you're quite mistaken. Japanese culture is even more male-chauvinist than American culture. Gender roles, while loosening a little in recent years, are still extremely rigid. How long do you think it will be before Japan has a female Prime Minister? 50 years? 100?

The presentation of girls and women in fiction is part of the culture, both reflecting it and playing some role -- probably not small -- in perpetuating it. The relentless, unceasing portrayal of sexualized women characters sends the message that the value of women is in their sexuality -- not their intelligence, their emotional perceptiveness, their leadership qualities, or any of hundreds of other positive attributes I could name and that women, like men, possess in varying degrees. That drumbeat -- inescapably present in American culture as well as Japanese -- is heard clearly by both girls and boys, and shapes their attitudes about gender roles.

I'm not trying to play cultural superiority here. Most cultures on this planet have a problem in this area, and the US is no shining exemplar. But holding Japan up as having particularly healthy gender psychology is rather naïve.
Makes sense. Thanks for responding.
Actually, I think the article is right. They have not failed to understand public/private key cryptography; you have failed to understand where you actually get your bank's public key from. Obviously, the bank has to send it to you. But then the problem is, how can you trust it really is your bank's key? The way we use is to trust a long list of people (CAs) to sign certificates saying "this key belongs to this domain."

So, if your browser has a CA belonging to CCNIC, a Chinese corporation which could certainly act for the Chinese government, they could pull off this spoofing. The question then is, is CCNIC in people's browsers? According to http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/certs/included/, it is in Firefox.

As to how to pull off the spoofing, if you have a root CA, you can sign arbitrary certs, i.e. for domains you don't own.

So, the article is right and SSL does require trusting all your trusted CAs are trustworthy.

(edited for clarity and tone)
You're right about Signal having an open source client of course. It's a closed platform because of the 'no-forks-allowed' stipulations.
> honest dissatisfaction with the EU in Britain

Well, I don't know how honest you'd call The Sun. Obviously, it wasn't Russia - but equally obviously, the whole euro-skepticism thing was hardly an organic phenomenon. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a single issue of a right wing British tabloid published in the last ten years that didn't have at least one article in it about how bad the EU is.

Influencing democracy is older than democracy - I think the thing that's causing such a furore is that the internet is lowering the barriers for this kind of yellow-press skulduggery, to the point that losers like Steve Bannon start to have actual power.
> A few hundred (even heavily armed) people do not stand a chance changing the results of the election, or almost anything in the US.

This is not the issue here. It is not even that the outgoing president very deliberately provoked the attack, as well as a much wider opposition to the democratic process. The biggest problem is that the president was actively supported, in his provocation, by more than a few US senators, along with elected officials of several states (some of whom are plausible presidential candidates themselves.)

There is little doubt that if any of the extra-legal or simply bogus attempts to overthrow the election had succeeded, these senators, and most likely the republican party as a whole, would have been happy to go along with that act, in what would, in reality, have been a coup d'état.

Even if the supreme court put a stop to it - which is not a certainty - much damage would have been done.
If you have a huge firehose of opposing opinions, and you choose to censor 1% of the opinions of one side versus the other, you have effectively become a newspaper with an editorial board.

The only way to avoid this is to permit ALL content (which we have decided is untenable), or somehow precisely censor as much on one side as the other (which is impossible).
