You're right!

Yes, I think I would say the same. Same apply for Microsoft, with Edge.

The claim of privacy, might support isolation and that's how you start to build bubbles around people.

We should keep in sight what's the goal of targeted advertising - is to deliver relevant a message to the right users. It's heavily abused, indeed, and it should be revised.

But deprive the capacity of segmentation from a brand that know's everything about you - which Apple does - it's just not right imo.

This is not at all true in the US: it is not "technically illegal" to own transmit-capable equipment without a license.

It is true that transmissions are regulated by law in every country, and the particular license you need will be determined by frequency band and power. In the US, there are some cases ("Part 15") where no license is required.

Apple has already done that.

Ticket Master is part of Live Nation Entertainment and Live Nation is the Ticket Master of the promoter and venue side. They are the largest promoter in the US. If an artist tries to circumvent the TicketMaster/Live Nation monopoly they will find that they aren't able to book any of the venues in the market they need. This a near monopoly, they are the mob. No startup is going to "fix" this.

Live Nations was spun out of Clear Channel which controls the majority of the important radio stations in the US. Needless to say the relationship between Clear Channel and Live Nation is a very "special" one. See:

No there are 27 billionaires with Swedish citizenship. I'd estimate that less than half of them live full time in Sweden.

Also over 50% of them are from 1 of 4 families. and only 2 of them made their money by founding an actual company (as opposed to a hedge fund or trading company).

I think that just skips the original question by assuming the answer. Why is there no convention for privacy from other members of the same gender? You have to consider the economy of providing totally private bathroom facilities too.

Because everyone does.

You're right but it's not a drop-in replacement: obviously being passively cooled into such a small device does not make it useful for constantly sustained performance. I'm confident aptly designed hardware surrounding those chips could have the characteristics we're looking for, but there are multiple barriers to break, such as a software <-> hardware synergy that is lacking for laptops, desktops and servers on the ARM side of things, as well as the current platform being largely good enough, so there's really no incentive (yet). IOW it's too esoteric right now to be of value, although some have tried, such as Scaleway, but that's not A11, and we all know where non-Apple ARM performance stands currently.
>It's easy to be the good guy

If that was the case others would be doing it too. For Google though it's extremely hard. And Microsoft caved to advertisers immediately.

>It's morally reprehensible even to advertise yourself as such

I don't see anything morally reprehensible to advertise yourself as such -- assuming you indeed are such.

At worst it can be a little tacky -- and that's for people. Companies are not people, and they do have to advertise their good qualities and what they offer that their competitors don't. Which is what Apple does.

>It would seem that the "innovation department" Apple would rather settle for difference BY DEFAULT.

Yeah, poor them. They only have the most exciting phone on the planet, with the best hardware (obliterating competitor cpus next and right) and a top-notch software platform.
In Sweden, you will pay 58% from your every Swedish krona for monthly salary above 55000 SEK (6873 USD). So social-democrats believe you are already rich having monthly income just above 6873 USD. At that level of income you have absolutely no vote over majority and you have zero lobby power and you obviously don't control any media. Having that level of income is already not normal and according to social-democrats you have to be "equalized".

So when I hear "rich should pay their fair share", I know they are going after me! I've never seen social-democrat policies which touch only billionaires as they constantly claim!

The pretty similar situation all across Europe with exception of German cantons of Switzerland.

Yet ripping off upper middle class so effectively, western European socialists still constantly complain about "inequality". Which means, they are not satisfied to taking only 58% from me, they want more, much more. In fact, I believe they will be not satisfied until everybody is completely "equalized to death".

I honestly do NOT believe that I owe anything to poor people. And I'm saying that as a person who born in Uzbekistan and lived in extreme poverty (my income in 2003 was ... 10 USD per month).
I don't think those two things are related. This issue actually touches both sides. Steve Bannon was looking at anti-trust issues in the administration and Trump has raised similar issues about Amazon [1][2].

>Is it xenophobic to suggest he might prefer to go back to the previous situation?

This is totally a wrong interpretation of what I was saying. I was only commenting on that line in particular, not saying that what he was doing in general is bad, but the pernicious idea that only Japanese are qualified to judge Japanese food is something I find needlessly exclusive and overall false; this is what is xenophobic, not the desire to shut one's restaurant off in the face of pressure. However if he is only shutting it off to "foreigners" then it really is xenophobic to do so, but understandable nevertheless.

> The claim of privacy, might support isolation and that's how you start to build bubbles around people.

This is completely backwards. Tracking is what allows Facebook et al. to build bubbles around people by "delivering relevant messages to the right users". Privacy is about users having control about what information companies collect about them and how that information is used. If I don't want companies to track my information (because I don't find targetting at all useful) I should be able to make that choice and ad companies should respect it. The fact that they "work around" tracking protections, as described in the article, is pretty despicable.
Isn't "liberal" often used as an insult in the US by the likes of Ann Coulter and other far-right xenophobic conservatives?

I think the confusion is that the term is used for all sorts of things like economic liberals (neo-liberal de-regulators), social liberals (into multi-culturalism and identity politics) and Ayn Randian sea-steaders and techno-utopians, which is where classical liberals often seem to end up on a diet of extreme capitalism and sociopathy?

In Europe, left libertarianism is very much a thing, as identity politics and re-distributive economic socialism often find common ground in empathy for those who are disadvantaged in different ways. The right to exploit others does not trump the right to not be exploited, unless I am badly mis-remembering John Stuart Mill?
Racket is interesting, but what turns me off about the language is that they decided they needed OO for some things and they... implemented a single dispatch based system. Why would you limit yourself this way if you don't need to? Single dispatch systems force you into all kinds of "power deficiency patterns" (e.g. all double-dispatch patterns) that just wouldn't be necassary if you do multiple dispatch a la CLOS. You don't have to re-implement all of CLOS if you don't want but at least use something like generic functions instead of the inferior (and ugly in Racket) single dispatch style.

>How can we make it better ? Let's start by removing the requirement for identity value to always be the promise.

I challenge the view that making the identity value being able to be something other than a Promise is 'making it better'. Pointless abstraction is one of my pet peeves in this industry. This looks like it has gone from a fairly straightforward, if kludgy, piece of code to something far more complex. Why not just:

const listOfPromises = [...]

const result = Promise.all(listOfPromises).then(results => {
return results.reduce((acc, next) => acc + next)
})

?
I wonder if that really is their goal?

The aspects that you mention definitely count as well, but I think that prestige is a large part of it (both in the field and among family/friends).

You're right, because for a pair of functions f and g, you have an isomorphism if:

g(f(x)) == x

for every x. However, here of course

(([a]) => {a})( (({ a }) => [a])({ key: 'data'}) )

is equal to

{ a: 'data' }

Where do you live? Not to come raid your fridge, just to see if Its heating or cooling that you use. There are several passive heating/cooling techniques you could use.

If, as you say the problem arose "lately", it is probably your HVAC being over extended. For starters, buy one of these babies https://goo.gl/4YFNZt (you could return it afterwards :-) and take some images of all the rooms from inside and also from outside the house. It will basically show you if heat/cool is leaking from your house.

Follow it up with educating yourself using something like this provided by your local energy company https://goo.gl/HzY3QZ OR start with a simple checklist like this https://goo.gl/wx55iC and make sure all the bases are covered.

If you want to do spend a little and do a more professional job, get one of such guys in your area to come do an energy audit of the house https://goo.gl/mTmAeg .
It's not an honor, it is what is it. Advertising won't go away - it's the difference of seeing relevant communication to you, or get all shit.

But giving all your information to Apple, is somehow, ok.

They know who you are, if you'll buy the next iphone, they target advertising at you through their own mediums... but that's fine.

> That'll be awesome, I won't have to guess which sites respect my privacy since the ones that don't will just fail to load.

SEC regulations are failing the average american in a big way. When it is impossible to own stock in basically any of the high growth tech companies, every person with retirement funds/401k in index funds or markets is missing out, and all the gains are going to a handful of investment banks. I'm not sure whether this represents an intentional move by banking lobbyists, but following the money I'm sure it is.

The ICO market may be bubbly and ridiculous, but at least it will make founders consider an alternative to traditional VC which may give more money for less equity.
The point is to make the individuals pay for their own misdeeds. Like car insurance.

If you have a clean record, your car insurance is low. If you have multiple at-fault claims, your insurance is prohibitive.

Why can't we do the same for professional services? The individual who acts ethically ends up with lower insurance than the individual who acts unethically. And at the same salary, the ethical person will take more money home.

That's individual incentive.

So can foreigners who are familiar with Japanese food, or non-ethnically Japanese people in Japan. I understand your analogy to pop-culture nerds but I don't think it applies here - one can become on the same level as the nerd and talk to him in that way, but this chef is exclusionary and saying that no matter how much expreience a "foreigner" has with Japanese food, he can never understand it or properly judge it. This is not unique to Japanese food, I have seen this exact line echoed by a famous Japanese architect too with regard to his work.

If he so wishes he should cater to people familiar with food, if anything those people are more "on his level" than a random Japanese person, so I really can't see why he's drawing the line at "Japanese" rather than at "familiar and experienced with food". I'm sure most Japanese just gulp down the food, and some surely do complain.

Real experience or not, I think this kind of attitude has little place in modern society.

That's just barbaric. Yes, IP laws serve a public good when they're able to balance the needs of incentivizing creative endeavors with ensuring those endeavors eventually end up in the public domain.
