That's how Instapaper did it back when I used it (may have a full-fledged add-on now, but I don't know for sure).

The only drawback, for me, was the added bulk of the Bookmarks bar. I like to slim it down, so having the single button has been great. (Also, being able to add the tags, but maybe the bookmarklet is capable of that?)

> early 8 and 16 bit compilers for home computers were like managed languages

Yeah, I wrote several published games entirely in assembly back when that was really the only reasonable option.

Of course some of the things we had to deal with meant that even the compilers were good, they couldn't have been good enough.

Extreme limited memory is the obvious one, but pages that need to be swapped out at runtime is the other one. An example: The Game Boy had 64k of memory addressing, but would ship with 128k and larger cartridges. 32k of the memory space was reserved for video memory, RAM, and hardware registers (if I remember correctly). The first 16k of memory was always mapped to the first 16k of ROM, but the second 16k of memory was mapped to arbitrary 16k blocks of ROM. 16k wasn't enough space to hold your entire game, so some code would leak into other pages (hopefully not more than ONE other page), but you also had to be able to swap other ROM pages into that second 16k memory region to, e.g., load graphics and game data.

There isn't a compiler around even today that can juggle all of that automatically. At a minimum you'd need to be marking different functions as belonging to different memory regions, but you'd still have to manually keep track of which function was where and ensure you don't try to call a region-2 function from a region-1 function when region-2 is some arbitrary ROM page instead of the extra code page. But often something in region-2 needs to call region-1 to load graphics into sprite registers and then restore region-2 so that the stack frame becomes valid again. :)

And 32k is SUCH a small amount of memory that being able to chip away at every single function was important. You have a function that does two things, but sometimes you just need to do the second? Put a label halfway through and call directly into the middle. You can save a byte here by loading one register into another, because you know that the registers will have the right values? Or you can save another byte there because you've realized that a particular constant is loaded a lot, and you can store that constant into one of the 128 cheap-memory locations? Do it! We need every byte...

Yes it would be possible to write such a compiler, but the level of effort to customize it to the specific architecture would be extreme. Easier to just make programmers do the hard work.
This is sort of the best of all possible worlds. Any time there's a problem, everyone involved can just say "oh, she should sue" and "why doesn't she sue, there are lots of legal remedies".

And then if she spoke with a lawyer, that lawyer would point to all the problems listed above plus many more (the difficulty of proving damages, for one) and would almost certainly try to dissuade her from suing no matter how grievous her treatment, and if she did sue, she would likely lose. The legal remedies are so weak as to be non-existent, but their existence is beneficial to wrong-doers, who can hide behind them and pretend they are effective and powerful.
Yes. Presumably whoever was reading out those notes is high up in Google HR, as I guess they are not exactly widely distributed internally. Google HR personnel deliberately leaking what appears to be little more than gossip in order to cause problems for a competitor does not really inspire confidence.

> In all situations, the safe thing to do in an emergency is to slam on the breaks, and do avoidance, maybe. As well as don't get into these emergency situations in the first place.

Traveling at 50mph on an interstate in dense, almost no-visibility fog. Slamming on the breaks is going to create a 50-car pileup with at least two or three fatalities. You might say it's not safe to be driving that fast in those conditions, and you're probably right, but everyone else is, and driving significantly below the going rate is equally dangerous.
That's a bit savage. Did Apple look for unfair advantages or did they design products that people loved and bought in preference to others? Ditto many other industries. Traders (capitalists) should indeed look for monopolies if they don't want a race to the bottom but that monopoly can be based on unique value to the customer if crony capitalism isn't involved although sadly it's all too prevalent. Markets are dynamic. Conditions change. People's needs and desires change. The monopoly of today will eventually dissolve and at best become one of many equivalent options, tomorrow. That's one of the messages of zero to one, Peter Thiel's recent book.

I think another factor here is carefully picking your audience. If you're writing a sci-fi book, you probably won't get very good feedback and criticism from a bunch of elderly people who like to read craft magazines, for example.

One place to get feedback is in writer's groups/clubs. They may not reflect your intended audience as much, but they're also writers and would be better at separating their subjective biases (like not liking sci-fi) from a more objective analysis of the work, looking at things that are common to all writing, esp. fiction (is the writing overly wordy, does the plot make sense, are the characters believable, etc.).

If your company does 360 reviews or has a "rating" system (smart companies refuse to call it a ranking), it's the same thing. It's in the corporate america HR handbook. If you are ranked highly, someone had to be ranked lowly.
However, there is no universal arbiter of the difference between a 'fair' or 'unfair' advantage.

And consequently, in practice, there are no capitalists and no free markets, by the proper definition of the term.
Why are so many people blind to the potential pitfalls of self-driving cars?

Considering traditional automakers previous behavior when dealing with defects, this huge rush to get cars connected so that they can hoover up as much data on you and your driving as possible, their general culture of secrecy, a reticence to launch bug bounties and the general closed source nature of their code, you are not at all worried about terrorists or, much more likely, mischief makers hacking your car (or a fleet of the same model with the same vulnerability) for the lulz?

I've said this before, but I'm definitely not getting Mk. 1 of a self-driving car and most likely will never get one unless they open source the code.

> Those people aren't capitalists in the proper definition of the term

There are two definitions of "capitalist":

(1) A holder of capital,

(2) An adherent to "capitalism", the dominant economic system of the industrialized West in the mid-late 19th Century (which has been diluted by subsequent reforms, but remains a core element of the structure of economy in most of the modern developed world), named "capitalism" by its 19th Century socialist critics for the ways in which it systematically served the interests of capitalists (by the preceding definition.)

The GP post seems to be accurate whether using "capitalist" in sense (1) or sense (2).
Why are you assuming the battery is the source, not the result, of a failure elsewhere in the system?

No one has done a real root cause analysis and research shows humans are really bad at it when relying on intuition alone.

Cascading failure here is possible. I've never seen one actually light a battery on fire. The last encounter was a gaming level video card plowing a capacitor, starting a fire within the entire desktop.

From the article:

> If you have a MacBook be careful leaving it unattended on the bed, battery fires burn hot and fast with little time to react.

If this person was in a habit of leaving it in a poorly ventilated place, like their squishy bed, the electronics could have become compromised over time.

Also from the article:

> however with the newer unibody laptops there is no way you can see this swelling happening.

This is not true. Users have reported that prior to discovering battery swelling, their trackpad quit working and in some cases began separating from the top chassis.
In my experience, if you're seeing a 20x difference, we're either already talking compilers vs. interpreters or fundamentally different implementations (e.g. one using SIMD intrinsics vs. one not using them).

You don't seriously expect this government to actually think through their proposals, do you? /s

More seriously: permanent residency as a result of exercising treaty rights comes with a document, so some will carry that. For everyone else, you would hope the government will put in place some sort of registration scheme that is easier than treaty-rights (which currently requires 5 years of continuous settlement in UK).

As for prosecuting people who overstay... eh. They are already pretty overworked and incapable of tracking most illegals, I can only imagine things will get even worse after they add hundreds of thousands new cases. Like in the US, they will compensate for this structural deficiency by being extra-brutal with the poor few they do catch (like they already do). This will drive more and more people underground, which will do wonders for crime syndicates, human traffickers and the like.
It's definitely not "zero cost." It may be a low cost, but as with any choice, there is always an opportunity cost.

That's an oversimplification. Macbooks tell you how many cycles the computer has left and give you a safety warning to have the battery serviced or replaced once you reach the 85% mark of usable cycles. You clearly ignored the service warning and/or the safety warning and continued to charge it. It wasn't a defective battery, it was the user ignoring (perhaps unintentionally) that their battery was no longer usable. Why should they replace it without charging for it?
You're right, I misspoke; I meant to say several audiences out of a larger pie of distinct cohorts; instead of using wording that implied a large absolute amount of people.

>> "the second is about anti-discrimination laws."

You are merely changing the language to avoid admitting the reality of a government infringing on religious liberty.

The government forcing religious people to go against their religion is infringement of religious liberty. Forcing those religious people to undergo government re-education classes is Stalinesque.

The founders of the US saw this potential abuse; it's why religious liberty is protected as the first right in the Bill of Rights.

And on a broader point, this is why we fight for small government: a large, powerful government is a bastion for tyranny. And the religious are merely the canary in the coal mine.

Perhaps the left will recognize this wisdom after President Trump issues executive orders overturning all that the left holds dear.

Paying people more money is more expensive; giving people ownership is less costly. Employee owned shares encourage employees to work better. It also gives them a louder voice in how things are done.

There really needs to be a Government organization that can investigate these claims, that employees could report incidents to instead of HR.

Right. In reality a free market can exist under most regulations, particularly ones that are evenly applied. If everyone has to play by the same rules competition should still exist and the players will learn to work within those rules. Regulation != death to free markets.

Kinda hard to parse your argument then because

I guess you're saying the comparison isn't even fair because it is completely different playing fields but it's hard to parse that from the above sentence structure.
One of the ways HR acts in the interest of the company, is to make sure managers aren't putting the company at risk by engaging in unethical or illegal behavior. HR isn't your friend, but if they enable harassment and discrimination, they are failing in their role of corporate governance and should be replaced.

A competent CEO would take action here.
There's a big difference between guilty and "Google found it credible". The latter could mean almost anything, but presumably as he denied it there wasn't actual film of it happening or any other hard evidence. Bear in mind, a big part of feminist/SJW culture is to never disbelieve a 'victim': literally, to make an accusation is to automatically be credible unless there's clear evidence you made it up.

Expecting a guy who clearly believes he was let go due to an unfounded malicious accusation to tell every future employer about it seems extreme. He obviously expected that Google would not leak his personnell notes, apparently that was a mistake.
Be careful, you're blurring the lines between "do good" and "do well".
> The Left is always there to point out how false everything they say is, on this point however they stay silent.

The Left has been pointing out that capitalist markets are coercive rather than free since socialists coined the term "capitalism" for the economic system whose coercive structures they were criticizing, something like 150 years ago.

If you aren't noticing it, you aren't paying much attention to the Left. This often happens when people, for example, mistake the dominant faction of the US Democratic Party (center-right neoliberal capitalists) for "the Left."

Missed this...It's a hard problem and I struggle with it a lot. There's a few choices:

1. Identify the problems and just work on eliminating them.

2. Write about characters in a milieu in which everyone does behave in a highly rational way - to be honest I don't know of such an environment - but kinda sounds interesting.

3. Abandon conventional narrative techniques. However this doesn't work if you want to write genre fiction, or anything that will be widely read - i.e. you're in the experimental zone!

4. One writer I know uses Myers–Briggs personality types to determine each character's behaviour and lets their actions in each situation flow from that. In fact he's a good writer and the technique (however he uses it) really works, though I would have been a sceptic if someone told me that is what they do.

The thing that fascinates me is how some writers can create tension in the smallest things. Some writers can generate drama out of a missing cat, or the fleas on a dog. It's all about tapping into extreme subjective reactions, while showing the rational justification the character supports it with...

Good luck.
I agree, generally, with the article. I worked as a contractor at Google for four months in 2013. Great experience but my wife and I burned through about $6000/month in living expenses. I returned home (mountains in Arizona) to earn much less writing books and remote consulting, but better off financially.
Keep in mind that it's not just how much money one makes, but it's also when one moved to San Francisco and whether they bought when home prices were much lower than today or whether they secured rent-controlled housing at lower rents than today's market levels that makes a dramatic difference in affordability. There are some people making less than the median income yet have very low living expenses because they were able to secure a mortgage or rent-controlled housing back when housing was much cheaper.

My skepticism mostly comes from reflecting on how I'm currently experiencing video games most of the time: together with a friend, sitting on the couch in front of the TV in the living room. This is a social setting: when we play a game together, we don't just look at the screen, we talk to each, look at each other, get up and get a drink from the kitchen, etc. And most often, we spend a few hours doing exactly that.

I know that not everyone shares my feeling, but somehow I have troubles imagining doing the same with VR headsets on. I don't really want to be completely removed from this social setting, completely emerged in the VR environment -- I want both, plus the ability to switch between them quickly.

Don't get me wrong, I think VR is a super cool technology. My point is that I just don't think it plays well with the social setting of a bunch of buddies hanging out together.
