Its not like you're just pulling free money out of thin air by using a credit card. And it seems likely that the finance institutions behind the credit cards are offering them as a product that makes money and not as an act of goodwill. If everyone paid their credit cards off at the end of the month like they say they do, do you think credit cards would be advertised or pushed as hard as they are? The finance institutions are making money on people who use them.

i'm sure there are some people are responsible enough to never incur a finance charge from a credit card by always paying their monthly balance. I've never actually met one of those people. I used to say I was one of those people, but in reality if you had asked to look at my statement history I would have been embarrassed by how many times I ended up paying interest charges for things I probably shouldn't have purchased in the first place.

Two years ago my wife and I cut up our credit cards, closed those accounts and never looked back. Initially that change hurt my brain and went against everything I thought I knew was normal. It was one one of the best financial decisions we ever made.
So do I understand this correctly? For a messenger app would that mean that, unless the app is in foreground, every single chat message will need to be delivered via Apple's push servers?
I was thinking of serious business contracts, and for ongoing relations, like Firm A agrees to deliver 1,000 widgets every month to firm B. If you talk to an experienced business person, they will have a hundred stories about how something unexpected happened in such cases, or large, complex business deals.

>There are thousands of standardized contracts that are signed by thousands of people and only a small percentage of them end up in conflict.

That's because, as I explain, when something happens the contract did not anticipate, the involved parties almost always work things out informally

For simple things done in large numbers, smart contracts might makes sense. Except if many people are using the same contract, it is more attractive to hackers to try to find a bug.

Given he was the target of illegal unmasking, the thin lie that supposedly makes the whole surveillance thing constitutional, Trump and his conservative judges are probably sympathetic.
It's selling the thing short to say that it has "some" bias. It is quite literally an automatic bias filter. If you happen to love Google's particular biases, that may be a good thing. Otherwise, not good.

The terrifying thing is this is likely to become wedged into various internet sites and services where users who don't align with Google's particular biases are effectively forced to conform to them. They are really pressing this sort of power lately and I'm not having it.

Google is a company. You want video hosting to be run by the government?

I'm with you. I don't want that, but at some point I expect to lose the argument. Google will cut their own throats with their smug "We investigated our decision and found it to be correct" pronunciations.

The fact is, any sufficiently dominant corporation is indistinguishable from a government. The more a company like Google behaves like a bureaucratically-hidebound public utility, the harder it will be to argue that it shouldn't be regulated like one.
They need to work to earn a living, but they are not forced to be employed if they think the wage is too low. That would be slavery. But I see the point that this degree of freedom poses a problem for work with a low entry barrier.
>Oh because the solution friends of Chomsky don't involve violence ?

It probably does, just as capitalism was borne into this world with violence, "soaked in blood" as Marx put it. The point however is that it does not rely on violence to support property relations, beacuse anarchists generally view such violence for the purpose of property as inhumane. I can't speak for Chomsky personally.

>Seems more fair to me for everyone.

Arguably, it seems that property is "fair" only for the very few, and especially not those who must rely on charity. What fairness is found in the case of a man who cannot secure the bread to eat, for his wages are surrendered to the capitalist, middleman and State for rent or tax? It's always amusing to me this idea that in an anarcho-capitalist society, the proponents always figure themselves to be capitalists, never the poor, the dregs of society, the propertyless who live in hideous conditions.

>it tells you you have no right to steal from someone else under the pretense that you will use the stolen resources to feed someone dying

Perhaps we have a different view of what is just, then. I would even agree with you if we were talking about personal property. But we are not, we are talking about private property, and I think that such an attitude is abhorrent in the face of such conditions.
Same. I used to talk about political topics all the time (ah, the 90s...), but now hardly do.
Fired Google engineer Damore says company is 'like a cult'
The US Supreme Court is generally divided into two camps: originalists (favored by Republicans) and liberals (favored by Democrats). Originalists tend to interpret the constitution by trying to infer what the founding fathers intended. Liberals tend to interpret the constitution more broadly so that it fits better with today's society.

Regardless of which view takes the majority in the Supreme Court, it would be hard to argue in favor of Section 702. The 4th amendment is pretty clear cut compared to laws regarding marriage and abortion. Warrantless spying on millions of Americans is illegal, plain and simple.
I'd rather spend my time learning how to write better code than spend that same amount of time learning a completely different keyboard shortcut system just to edit faster.

Seriously. How many of us are actually at the point where our limiting factor is how fast we can edit instead of how fast we think about the code we want to get on the screen?
If you want to be lauded for "being skeptical", maybe include some kind of interesting or informed commentary or critique instead of posting a meaningless drive-by attack on the source.
It seems that Gorsuch is indeed aligned with Scalia as far as the Fourth Amendment is concerned.

Gorsuch has argued that the state must have a valid warrant to perform a search, that the warrant must have been properly executed and obtained, and that police may not use a drug dog to justify a search in the absence of a warrant [0].

I read the article, thanks. There is mention of Clovis culture in what is now the United States, but it clearly uses "Americans" in the broader sense. For example, here, where Monte Verde is a site in modern day Chile:

Early Americans apparently knew how to take full advantage of its abundant resources. At Monte Verde, once 90 kilometers from the coast, archaeologist Tom Dillehay of Vanderbilt University in Nashville found nine species of edible and medicinal seaweed dated to about 14,000 years ago.
The paradox of capitalism is that business interests (capital) are in direct opposition to workers' interests. Businesses are incentivized to reduce costs, which means paying workers as little as possible, squeezing as many hours out of them, and laying them off as soon as they're not needed.

Sure everyday workers are sometimes the customers as well, but that's becoming less and less the case. Google and Facebook don't make their money off you, they make them from advertisers working on behalf of businesses. Real estate developers in Manhattan don't make money building affordable middle class housing (hence the non-existence of such developments), they make them off luxury high-rises targeting the wealthy.

Combine that with technological advances and globalization allowing increasingly consolidated corporations to replace workers with robots/software and move jobs overseas, and the end result is that wealth is more concentrated, the economy is more concentrated (plutonomy), and your average Joe living in rural New England just doesn't matter as much to the vault-holders in an economic system where we only see each other as dollar signs.

No amount of retraining or "bootstraps" is going to bring the jobs back. It's just not possible to compete with the corporations and their larger moats and bankrolls. The only option is to work for them, or perish. These corporations aren't building anymore satellite offices in rural areas or opening up to remote work (due in part to the increasingly competitive job market), so the only option is to move to expensive cities with chronic housing supply shortages. These rural areas are as economically useless to the wealthy elites who run the show as the homeless people camped outside their offices.

Anybody who claims we're not ready for a UBI yet is living in a bubble.
I'm willing to bet the difference is purely cosmetic. Facebook likely still runs facial recognition on all uploaded photos even if it doesn't suggest tags.
The problem is not at all with the precision, but rather with the undefined behavior in certain circumstances.

If that can be avoided it makes no sense to use the slow and wasteful bigints.
Free Traffic Sources to Your Blog: Best Places to Get Them – Onenaija Blog
Not true. You can probably get a job most anyplace that actually has employers who need programmers, but you'll find starting bonus and moving expenses are limited to major tech areas and employers. Where I live there's a university that employs a lot of tech folks, and several private tech companies, but nobody pays for relocation, and salaries are $50K - $100K or maybe a little more at the very top end.

A good real-estate agent makes way more money than a programmer in many areas of the US.

Google warns 700 publishers digital ads will be blocked by Chrome update
The difference being that in tech the complexity just happens as a byproduct.

With the "finance industry" the complexity is not a bug, it's a feature, to keep ahead of regulators. Every time some immensely profitable "market" gets regulated the "finance industry" does it best to create a new "financial vehicle" to feed that unhinged greed for the fictional perpetual economic and financial growth.

It's an endless cat&mouse game that has been going on way too long and got us into this current messy situation where the "finance industry" might just as well be considered a fantasy football league, completely decoupled from the actual day to day realities of the vast majority of human beings, yet still holding massive influence over their futures.

That's not how it works: it's a trained neural network which presumably was trained with as little bias as possible. Try other statements related to the two candidates and you'll find your statement is patently false.

whats worse, is a specific comment you make can be an eternal judgement about you, as if you could not change your mind since then. i say things that i might change my mind on the very same day. i say things i dont even agree with when i said them.
Yeah. I see a lot of replies here posting about remote work (which don't get me wrong is awesome!) but to me, that kind of misses the point. If you want an office, you generally like the idea of being able to interact with your coworkers in person. You just want privacy whenever you aren't interacting with people. Going full remote means that you rarely get that in person interaction if at all.
Should I not evaluate things based on my personal experience...?

The other problems are: third-party sellers pollute the listings with unobtainable low prices, long delays, and shit products I'd never want to buy. It's common for me to find a product on Amazon only to discover that the low price I thought I was getting isn't actually available, and I have to pay some absurd shipping fee with a third-party seller. Or the cost is correct, but it'll take two months to ship. (This just happened to me yesterday with a "Prime two-day shipping" entry!) Or I have to dig past the first page of the search results because the first page is filled with nonsense from third party sellers.

These are the reasons I use Amazon less and less. Stories about fraud (and more importantly, Amazon siding with a scammer for no good reason) just add more weight.

I believe mutualism might be a good way to create closed groups of mutual aid inside society and I've read that's how it worked before the industrial revolution (French "Compagnonnage", friendly societies, confraternities, guilds etc...).

So why all people like you don't try to launch a new modern version of theses things ? If you don't need the state to do this then it should work without trying to influence governments to your benefit (because you supposedly don't need it).

it's rare that the person on the receiving end of the donation helps mutually

Sounds like you want to talk about exchanges, but don't want to use that filthy word. What's the difference between exchange and mutually aid ?

In this particular case, the customer was able to get a proof of delivery from USPS which included the recipient's address. Amazon had both the customer's address and the address the package was delivered to, for some reason they just would not or could not notice that they didn't match.
How about a public s3 bucket curated by a non-profit?

Tools exist already to upload to S3 from practically every device, especially Android.

Curation would be much harder, but there is a lot of money in philanthropy and I could see some deep pockets contributing to that.

YouTube is fine as a means of promoting and gaining awareness - world should know about these things, but it's not rational to expect a corporation (aka people within it) to act in any other interest other then it's own.

Seems like this could be an interesting infrastructure non-profit for YC to fund.
> No amount of retraining or "bootstraps" is going to bring the jobs back. It's just not possible to compete with the corporations and their larger moats and bankrolls.

This, frankly, is patent nonsense. And this sense of learned helplessness is a specifically American affliction.

There really just isn't a reason why there can't be reasonably compensated manufacturing jobs, or why corporate and industrial policy can't help depressed rural areas. As anyone who's traveled across Germany or Switzerland is well aware.

As a society we choose policies that concentrate wealth in this way. The point of view you're expressing -- that this is inevitable and unstoppable -- is not at all fact, but rather the product of decades of public relations by vested interests in this country.
They generally ask for a phone number nowadays for new accounts, so you'd need a new number for each one (or reuse the same one, which defeats the purpose of the disposable accounts).

hm, definitely incompetence from the google team, but also a bit your fault, since you did not update your number.

Why did the backup email not worked? Or did they told you about the hijacking via the backup but said the only way to restore is via the number?
No way. I lived in China; I have seen how that story plays out.

It's naive to think that any one form of human organization, be it governmental or corporate, is somehow less corruptible than another. You're right to be on your guard against governmental abuses, but don't take your eye off the other balls in play.

History is littered with great companies toppled by better ideas and execution.

What we've seen lately are instances where one company topples another and proceeds to commit the same abuses, only more effectively and at wider scale. When Facebook replaced MySpace, were its users really that much better off? Which company had fewer rules and enforced fewer content guidelines? When one company dominates the market and locks it up with network effects, what incentive does that leave them to play well with others?
Tools like this will always do more harm than good. False positives will always be sky high. On one hand it will obstruct the legitimate discussions and on the other hand it's trivial to game such systems. Toxicity won't be stopped but magnified by stimulating offenders to embed it in benign words and sentences. Quick examples:

10% Holocaust was amazing. We should do it again sometimes.
12% Would you like to buy some knee grows?
I think `set autoindent` works across most versions of vi. It's not language aware. It just indents the next line to the same place as the previous. For me, that was enough.
Vim might do that but other implementations of vi don't. Instead, they flash the screen, ring the bell or print something to the effect of "interrupted".

They can narrow the fairways, and with bunkers they'll put extra maintenance effort to get the sand just right. With the majors they might go a lot further. Courses will also modernize on their own just to be more attractive, for example Royal St. George's made some big changes to get the Open back.
I would hope so since I've been in swimming pools deeper than that. Deepest pool I've been to the bottom of was 32 feet I think.

TL;DR:

1) create an artificial new definition of "subsidy"

2) blame all suburban development and urban flight on these "subsidies".
We use debit cards though. I don't see credit cards often, but I do see everyone with debit cards. I pay almost everything with it since it's free, I can't screw up (debit cards have limits, or in any case the total amount of your bank account), easy, etc. I've been offered credit cards by my bank, but I do not trust them so I prefer to use a debit one. Also, Fnac or even supermarkets do offer cards, but I don't see the point of having them, and I'd say most people do not pay attention to this offers.

I live in Spain, and I've seen a similar situation in other countries except in Germany.
Wheelbarrows relatively simple, you don't need a long axle and, of course, only one wheel. And they are pretty good on poor roads.

A CleverPhone for your Smartphone. What does that even mean?
Can confirm. I worked a pretty decent software job with lower pay than others make for the same job for the past 5 years. Could barely afford insurance for my wife and I. We actually had to just give up and not pay for it the first few months of this year before I was laid off, figuring that paying the "fine" for not having health insurance plus whatever unlikely emergency medical costs we might have was cheaper. As soon as I'm laid off, we're on public aid and have the best insurance, and since every job I applies to rejects me, and haven't found any freelance work through sdegutis.com yet, it looks like we'll have a few more months of being able to have better health insurance than I could afford when working a decent programming job. The system is broken and literally ridiculous.

Coinbase: Will Users Benefit from Its $100M Raise?
It appears that they used the massive influx of capital they got from the hype pre-launch to continue building their vision that was entirely too big to deliver in any timely manner. They might be able to turn this around riding that into something that generates enough interest to continue to make plenty.

Putting it on sale on steam has it back at the top, which is actually kind of incredible considering the launch outrage.

The hype wasn't for nothing, people are craving the kind of game that was described before this launched. This is potentially Minecraft all over again.
Why not create a setting that allows user to see YouTube as sanitized by their AI or all content?

Allow people to chose content level just like they choose security level in browser settings.

1. Legal content. May include content that violates YouTube content policy, but is legal in USA, or the country of the viewer. Maximum freedom of speech and maximum ability to see content that you may find offending.

2. YouTube content policy met. Content that is legal and meets YouTube Content Policy.

3. Legal, Meets YouTube content policy, Meets a certain org's taste. Like when you can pick a charity that you can donate to when you shop on smile.amazon.com. You can select the org whose bubble you want to live in. ADL, Focus on Family, Skeptics etc. The org bans content and it only is banned for people who opt into that blacklist on youtube.

4. When user is not logged in they get AI filtered list but can select "all legal" or "all that meets content policy" filters, even when logged out. All others bubbles available to logged in users only.

Advertisers can opt into certain bubble if they want, or opt out of certain content e.g. content deemed inappropriate by the AI?

How does that sound YouTube?

Doesn't the government security agencies want to know who is watching extremist content and who is not interested in it? How would we know who the extremist are if they fall back to person to person, in person, communication?
"Rationalist" youtube is a term I hadn't heard before.

I'd never even heard of The Golden One or Thunderf00t but that youtuber spends a lot of time responding to them.
I don't see how this can work well. Toxicity would strongly dependent on context. What is considered toxic in the US may not be considered toxic in other countries. Some totally appropriate conversations between friends could be perceived toxic if exposed publicly.
So what's the solution? How do we bring jobs back to these depressed rural areas?
