Never really thought of Apple as a defender of user privacy, but it does make some sense. They aren't in the market for ads, so there's no reason for them to make their users the product.

I think it shouldn't be surprising that Google acts like this. It seemed likely from the start that their ad blocking effort is mostly an attempt to preserve the ad industry and eliminate third party ad blocking not under Google's control.

Uber admits ex-CEO Kalanick knew Levandowski had stolen Google information
Perhaps any given society is defined by some operator on what it can do/does with information. I guess we can call this, in this case, an information utilization energy,

E,

and if we could some how define "can do/does with information" as Hamiltonian,

SH,

in nature and governed by some set of initial conditions,

IC,

(which will vary depending on the society), then I suppose every society has a ground state that could be calculated approximated (via the ritz method) from such:

E0 <= (<IC|SH|IC>)/(<IC|IC>),

and it could be proven that some societies have a higher or lower ground state as far is it comes to utilization of information.

However at the point we are, I wouldn't be surprised if on normalized spectrum of information utilization ground states across societies from 0 to 100 were all clustered together near 0. I know, pessimistic :P

You can actually incentivized green energy production in this way. It's also possible for cunning utilities to have a government set target for renewable power which they turn round and sell to consumers as a green tariff.

Google has lots of documents online about how they go about ensuring that their efforts to buy renewable energy actually help the grid get cleaner. "Additionality" is one buzzword that might help you locate them.

Writing the proof in the wrong direction is useful in some kind of problems, for example to prove by induction that 1^3+2^3+3^3+4^3+...+N^3 = N^2 * (N+1)^2 / 4.

My recommendation to my students is to write to "proof" in the wrong direction in a scratch paper, the rewrite it carefully in the correct order in the final paper checking that all the implication go in the right direction, and then destroy the scratch paper.

I am a big fan of wind and solar! Appreciate you recognizing that!

My reaching arguments aren't what is bringing about change, of course. It's a ruthless market for low cost energy. And renewables are delivering (as evidenced by this Bloomberg piece). That's what's driving coal, natural gas, and even nuclear out of business.

It takes a very small piece of the Earth to power all of humanity with solar alone. We must continue to deploy wind and solar as quickly as possible though.
I would imagine the comment was more to convey "don't hurt my feelings" than to encourage civility, which is a more difficult concept. For ideologues, good means rational means civil means moral means <insert political ideology>.

Once all words boil down to <ideology> or <not ideology>, a person can't express or precisely articulate ideas, which manifests in incoherent language.
I'm sure this is also non-zero for, say, elements required to construct solar panels, however it's almost certainly (currently) dwarfed by those for fossil fuels. That may change in the future, though.

The contempt for users. I know what I do when a user files a real bug: respond to them, acknowledge it's a problem, tell them when it's fixed.

The fact that Intel does not do that with a bug of this magnitude shows how much respect they have for their users.
The problem is that empathy and analytical thinking are to an extent mutually exclusive. See e.g. [1].

Where does this article make that comparison? I don't see it. I see it pointing out there that is a loud new crop of American Internet Nazis, but that is not remotely the same as saying the US is like Nazi Germany.
Hmm. It seems like countries that are more well off and have a much higher amount of excess consumption also have better life expectancy. This sounds like a personal ramble instead of being based on actual data.
>anybody at my right is a Nazi and it's morally ok to punch them.

It's a hard to say, but in your case every dollar of solar subsidy probably reduces ratepayer cost by $1.50 or more.

Adding marginal capacity to the NYC grid costs a fortune to ratepayers, as siting a plant will take a decade and cost billions, and transmission capacity is already constrained -- nearly limitless hydropower is available from Quebec, but it requires massive infrastructure investment to move!

That's why New York subsidizes solar and heavily subsidizes peak load reduction.
Neo-nazis and their ideology directly threatens the very lives of a lot of people, and it's basically impossible to argue against them because they already understand these ir position and just don't care about any of the myriad reasons why they're wrong.

This is where the "punch a nazi" thing comes from. They're a very real personal threat to people, and they can't be convinced to change their mind, so all you can really do is get them to shut up and go away, and the way you do that is by punching them. If you can make them afraid to express their neo-nazi ideas, then that's a win.
One strange thing about the internet though: Maintaining Eye-contact and observing body language is critical to the formation of trust between people. And trust is critical for business. But those capabilities are only available in the very expensive telepresence suites of CEO's and the like, and this breaks the key thing we know about information technology - that it is constantly becoming cheaper. That's a bit puzzling.

And sure this is not fully a tech/biz problem, this is also about culture, just notice how the most poverished means of communications, textual messages, became so common in our daily life, even instead of something like video conferencing.

But here's an experiment: take a few beautiful rural towns, with cheap land and fast internet. offer trustful connectivity(maybe packaged in a container form) to a few major metropolitans, and try to see if you can entice companies to participate and some knowledge workers to migrate to rural towns.

If you're highly active you will definitely need to eat more to support the repair of muscle and bone. Assuming you're already within healthy BMI (don't need to lose fat) then I doubt anyone would suggest you restrict calories while physically active. You need food to support the repair of muscle and bone - there's no getting away from that.

What is up for consideration is how MUCH food do you really need? The general takeaway from the article which can be broadly applied, is that less food is probably better for you. So if you have a large need for nutrient restoration (from high intensity sports) then try to eat nutrient dense, quality food.
Chasing technology is a huge mistake. Your end users, your clients, where the money comes from, could not care less if you are coding your website in Visual Basic (is that even possible?). Nope. They are after a solution to a problem. That is ALL they care about. Nothing else. Do not waste your time with this ever-repeating nonsense of chasing the shinny objects.

That doesn't mean you stop learning. It does mean you inject a slow low pass filter in your life and don't react to every little movement in technology. You can learn about them while realizing your end users don't care and, in general terms, these technologies have no material advantages in delivering what customers are after.

Engineers are not business people. Do no follow what someone with no business experience says because you'll find yourself jumping from tech to tech and no servicing your customers.
I mean there is some level of growth in the sales/marketing/accounting and non-engineering departments right? Engineering isn't the only thing in a business, sometimes it's not even the most important (as much as we might hate to hear that). I've been in extremely successful software companies that had a crap product but an amazing sales team (although I didn't stick around long).
I wonder if the source is still floating around somewhere.
Well, they didn't necessarily give in to solipsism. The original idea was meant to accommodate, I think, the idea that different subjects could have entirely different experiences and still share a world. Actually, I think Husserl's idea that lived worlds have 'horizons' (beyond which you can somehow anticipate something you don't see) can capture the thought that the experience of others can be somehow be part of our own, so solipsism is partially defeated. But this is just a rough thought.

Very sad. I was a Delphi developer for 14 years here.

Was very happy with Turbo Pascal 7 and later Delphi, it was perfect and still haven't found a manual as helpful as the one at their IDE. Then it died. Was probably with this .NET bloat and then getting completely out of touch with their developer-base.

Delphi built amazingly small executables and really good looking UI without much trouble for newbies, that you could escalate to highly complex software (I've even wrote a language compiler with Delphi). Even today, those smallish Delphi binaries built for Windows run surprisingly well under OSX and Linux through Wine. That's multi-platform right there.

There was no need for the bloat or crazy licensing prices that pushed away the small developers, which in turn killed the popularity of Delphi.

I'm a Java developer for 8 years now, it isn't perfect but sure is reachable for anyone and at least the code under a JVM will keep compiling without buying licenses.

It's okay to speak ideas whatever it is. It's also okay to dislike other ideas.

I do the same.

What is not okay is to promote violence against anybody you think their ideas are harmful. Who decides if an idea is harmful? I think liberalism is harmful. Through abortions, millions are dying every year.

No one should have the authority to say these motherf-kers are free to live, lets celebrate their defects and these other motherf-kers should be punched on the face.

This liberalism-atheism is a religion. They do witch hunting, they purge their heretics, they don't allow opposition.

I think it's possible find a useful middle-ground between consulting and product building, in the pg "do things that don't scale" sense. As the article also points out you can kill a second bird with the same stone, which is self-funding via the consulting.

And then ideally via the consulting you find a niche(s), build your own processes & tooling for your niche to deliver value to clients, and then can product-ize once you actually understand the space and the market, who the customers will be and how to reach them, because you're already doing it via the consulting and just need to scale up.

It also serves as a sanity check that you're actually building something that has value, because you prove it to yourself via invoices for your work rather than investment in an idea.
Sure, it was a PAC, but to deny that it existed and the two had close ties is a gross misrepresentation of the truth. The amount of gaslighting by the old guard in the DNC to justify why they supposedly lost unfairly does not bode well for the next election. You need people to actually like you in order to win elections. You can't do that by selling out to big business, and then trying to smooth things over with billions in ads and outright sockpuppetry.

K > 1 is a runaway train, hold on. It happens rarely and apparently when it does, it's the ride of one's life.

Im not entirely sure this is that rare. Lets think of it like this: whatever gives you new customers is part of what I call currently your "ad surface" or "marketing surface". If a customer brings you another customer, it's just because that guy is marketing too - obviously. So everything that gives you customers is marketing. But of course, thousands and thousands of customers are so big of a surface that they dwarf any given techcrunch articles (most likely). My point is coming.

Now let's say one of your customer write about your product in his blog. Maybe that gonna brings you, say, 25 customers. Another make a youtube video that makes 500K views. Better than that, techcrunch hears about your product and write about it spontaneously. As we can see, those are indirect marketing surfaces and they can get very big.

Now, let's talk video games, about some niche type of games, for example, roguelikes. Roguelikes arent played by many people and yet some of them are well known from roguelikes players. Ex: DoomRL. And this is my point, it seems not plausible to me that DoomRL got his users and his niche-fame from N < 1. It didnt get niche-famous by direct customer-to-customer referrals either because if you play rogueslikes, it's unlikely your friends does too. Yet DoomRL is famous. So DoomRL had N >= 1 at some point in time and not by direct customer-to-customer referrals.

The way I'm seeing it now is that, most of the time you are in N < 1 land, but occasionally you hit some special customers that completely change the average toward N >= 1. And it happens more than one think - it's counter-intuitive in some ways. Also, at some point, your product is famous, and then customer-to-customer referrals (of type b. see edit of original post) can get big.

Which means, strategically, you need to get day-to-day-N as big as possible obviously, and you need faith: you gonna hit those special customers occasionally that gonna critically change N upward. That's my current understanding. It's getting better I think :)

Oops, just saw this question now. I've registered with https://www.otelo.de/ after seeing their publicity on TV two years ago and they still seem to have available these promotions.

They have several phone models to choose. You pay 1 EUR for most models from Samsung or Sony, a bit more for the deluxe editions (iphone and sorts). Now they even offer more because SMS are free and I still pay extra for each one, but doesn't matter because I simply use other messaging apps.

The Sony Xperia models are good, they're waterproof by default and resistant to shocks, albeit camera is crappy (compared to normal Samsung models)
Did you read the whole article? I don't think it was implying anything negative about tech workers or making value judgements. I am frustrated by some of the same things you are, but I don't think they were present in the article.

To me it was saying something pragmatic like "Now that advances in technology are taking care of more and more of our material needs while requiring less labor, there is a relative need/opportunity for workers in roles requiring especially-high emotional skills and endurance". Would you disagree with that?
There will always be unreasonable people, in fact everyone's idea of what is unreasonable will be different. It's ok though because we're a social species whose individuals like to share their thoughts and values and refine them together. The fact that people will disagree about what warrants violence is not a refutation of the idea that it is possible to justify violence. It is not a justification for refusing to ever analyze the merits of a particular justification for a particular act of violence.

Instead of discussing the merits of whether it is justified to violently oppose the ideology of white supremacy, whose latest form includes doublespeak like "peaceful ethnic cleansing" (Richard Spencer), you've shifted the topic to abstract considerations where the implicit demand is an argument that decides for all instances of violence whether or not they are justified. I can justify punching Richard Spencer, for example, without considering the rather absurd claim that someone who touches black hair (I presume you mean without consent) should be considered a white supremacist and therefore worthy of violence.

Just because a problem is difficult doesn't mean it's not worth examining. The fact that one cannot analytically decide a priori when violence is justified or not is just one of the many messy facts of the world that necessitate politics and taking conflict seriously.

Then let me turn the question back to you - what historical precedent is there for a major power having a disputed election amidst war and economic inequity, where they turned things around and maintained a free and open society? We're asking the same question - what can the US do differently from Germany in the 30s?

Edit: or to reframe the question, what could the German public have done differently in the '20 and '30s?
The way out of this is basic income. People don't "need" jobs. People need food, water, shelter, and preferably a decent quality of life. The number of jobs required to satisfy those needs per capita has fallen drastically, as you point out. The reason that many people are struggling is because a small number of them are capturing and hoarding most of those efficiency gains, creating an artificial "shortage" for everyone else.

It's so sad, we will have robots growing our food and building our houses and people will still complain about "jobs" when it's really just about distributing the benefits of automation.

Even from what you quote I noticed you took it as an endorsement of what it criticizes, but it goes on:

> To be clear, sometimes the only way to win against a Nazi is to punch them. But we also need to understand and be ready to explain the reasons why racism, genocide and white nationalism are bad. This may seem simplistic and rudimentary, it may even make you angry, but we must be ready to explain to young people why these ideas are so poisonous. It is no longer enough to just point at the history and say “because.”

or, as you said:

> Kind of like "It's way better to combat "racial purity" ideologies (or any other speech) with more speech"

Ironically, disallowing speech and interpreting it as the opposite of what it very clearly says are both closer together than they are to free speech. What's the point of being able to say something when you then feel free to turn it on its head? That's shifting the point of breakage. And is it some kind of joke that EliRivers got downvoted for stating what you should have realized, much less other readers; without even a response?

All the electricity produced gets mixed in.

To incentivize renewable energy production, "Renewable Energy Credits" are used for the bookkeeping of what kinds of energy is being generated, and are created when energy is produced by a renewable provider (handwaving a bit here...)

Consumers and businesses can have their electric plan provider purchase these credits per their usage to make sure they are getting the correct portion that actually comes from a renewable source.

So the demand and pricing is adjustable determined by the pricing of the credits.
