What I find fantastic about Casablanca is that while watching it, you sometimes find yourself thinking, "OMG, what a cliche!" (flashbacks, closeups, famous one liners, etc.) only to realize that it's all the movies that came after Casablanca were what made the cliches, this is the original.
From the same people that brought us Windows RT and ARM Surface tablets... got many of my clients to buy them... and then magically decided "Windows RT and ARM sucks. We don't support them anymore."

So I'll hold my breathe before recommending ANY of my clients use this.

My most important difference is whether Microsoft is going to stop supporting it a couple years after selling it like they did with Windows RT--leaving their customers with thousands of dollars of useless, unsupported machines.

I still can't believe they did that. Discontinuing software is one thing--you can find replacements. But discontinuing Surface RT tablets OS right after selling them is insulting and I will not be recommending them to my clients until Microsoft proves it will actually provide a long-term platform.

Sure! Signal and WhatsApp are good at having private conversations. Email is very tough to add private conversation capability to, for a variety of reasons. What you do need your mail provider (and by extension your DNS provider) to do is to not give up access to an attacker who asks nicely, because for most services, email access is account takeover.

This makes discussions about email security confusing, because most security professionals I know are thinking about a very different threat model (pop all of your services) than what a lot of people think about (confidentiality). Google is pretty good at not letting random people auth to GSuite as you. (Still turn off SMS recovery, though.)

Does that answer your question?
Claiming that it doesn't behave as intended is not equivalent to claiming that it pumps the price of Bitcoin.
No one is arguing it's not – but most people agree its warranted given Amazon's previous anti-competitive behavior, i.e. de-listing competing Google + Apple streaming boxes + Nest products + never offering integration of Prime Video on the Apple/Android TV in a clear move to promote FireTV + Prime membership
> People making more than $200,000 per year will pay more taxes. How is it not a tax increase on the rich?

I'm not sure of that, though, because that only seems true if you're filing single. MFJ at the same income level puts you in a lower bracket than today. I know there are more single filers than married, and that married filers pay close to 3/4 of all income taxes, but I'm unsure if that results in an overall increase.

Besides, this whole tax plan seems to lighten the tax burden on wealth. The estate tax exemption gets larger (and eventually eliminated in the house plan), and the small business tax rate drops to 25% (S-Corps, LLC, Partnerships, Sole Proprietors) - that's almost entirely going to benefit entities used to manage passive income/wealth like PE, hedge funds, etc. The house plan is a little better here since it reduces taxes on small businesses who don't make enough to benefit from the senate version.

Put another way, if this were really a tax increase on the rich, why are we projecting that the deficit (and national debt) will increase as a result? With income distribution the way it is right now, the only way you arrive at the deficit number is to tax the rich less, not more. The issue here is that everyone is getting a tax cut, and that seems unwise to me without some adjustment to spending.

I think ultimately all attempts at analogy end up failing, so I'd try to avoid them when talking to your dad.

First off, the government already has "business with the internet". Cable, DSL, wireless, etc. companies are all already regulated in general, and always have been. We don't just allow anyone to come along and dig up our streets or put up utility poles so they can run cable or fiber. We also don't allow any random company to start broadcasting on whatever radio frequency band they want. These are all scarce public resources, and restricting access to them makes sense. So the number of companies that can become ISPs in any given area is limited (by the government), and IMO that's actually the right thing to do.

If you can get your dad to agree with that, or at least understand where that sort of thinking comes from, then move on to:

The best way to ensure that companies in a particular industry don't engage in anti-consumer behavior is to ensure that there's a good competitive landscape. If you can do that, there will eventually be a natural equilibrium between a company's profit motives and the quality of service it provides to customers, because customers will be able to vote with their wallets and only patronize companies that give them what they want, for a price they think is fair.

Hopefully that's not controversial. In fact, it's very "free market" and "no gov't interference", so I think it's something your dad would agree with. But:

If we don't and can't have a competitive landscape, the next best thing is to regulate what these monopolies can do. Net neutrality regulation ensures that ISPs won't try to charge you more if you want to stream high quality video rather than just crappy video, for example. It keeps them from "bundling" websites in differently-priced plans to cause you to have to pay more to see more of the internet. And on the other side of the equation, it keeps ISPs from charging certain content providers a premium to send their bits over the ISP's network.

You might also want to add, but isn't strictly necessary:

These things may sound theoretical, but they're not. ISPs have constantly been in a tug of war with the FCC to determine what they're allowed to do. The FCC, for its part, had tacitly agreed not to regulate them under Title II as long as they maintained the neutrality of the internet. In 2014-15, Verizon decided they didn't want to play ball anymore, and thought they had the political clout to avoid Title II classification, so they sued the FCC, claiming the FCC didn't have the right to enforce net neutrality under Title I rules. The court ruled that Verizon was correct, but Verizon overplayed its hand: the FCC ended up classifying them under Title II anyway. So we've always had some form of net neutrality, even though up until 2015 it was more of a "gentlemen's agreement" between the FCC and the ISPs than actual regulation. Once the ISPs got too big for their britches, the FCC smacked them down, and hard.
Here is what I don't understand:

If Amazon can block Google products from their marketplace, can't Google also block Amazon from showing in the search results?

If blocking Amazon from search results falls under anti-trust laws, why doesn't the first one fall under same laws?
I understand the motivations behind net neutrality. What I don't understand is why do we not extend this to all kinds of communication monopolies. Some examples:

1. Reddit is the monopoly in online newsboards. As long as it is there, nothing else can prop up and gain traction. However, I cannot exercise my right to free speech on the website without risking getting blocked by a moderator or even admins. Net neutrality should force reddit to carry my opinions and preserve my comments as I typed them. Also, they shouldn't be allowed to display ads. That results in a "fast lane" for people who pay them.

2. Facebook is the monopoly in social networks. As long as facebook exists, nobody can become relevant. Sure there is stuff like instagram and snapchat, but my Facebook profile is my de facto online phone number. Facebook should not be allowed to block my profile, flag my posts. They must carry my posts and content like anybody else's. Again, no ads can be allowed in a neutral net.

3. Youtube is the monopoly in user created video. They should not be able to block my account or pay me less money if their advertisers don't like my content. All content must be treated equally. Everyone should get access.

All of these areas are natural monopolies, just like last mile broadband/fiber. At any time, there can only be one "Youtube". It can be replaced by something else, but there will always be one highly dominant video website, which people will inevitably visit to see the latest movie trailer or music video. Why does net neutrality exclude all these?
I hear this argument a lot and I'm never really sure what is meant by "intrinsic value"? Why do you think bitcoins have zero intrinsic value but tulips and weimar republic bills do?

Bitcoin has many uses, but for the sake of argument let's take its often stated use of acting as digital gold. If gold is "intrinsically valuable" which I presume you think it is, then so is bitcoin. Gold is valuable because it is a good store of value due to its properties of being scarce, long-lasting, easily divisible, transportable, etc. Bitcoin is all these things too and in fact is a much better store of value than gold. I see no reason, other than "brand", why gold should be "intrinsically valuable" but bitcoin not. Btw, gold is a 3-6trillion dollar market depending on how you do the accounting (https://schiffgold.com/commentaries/just-how-big-is-the-gold...).

That's how light bulbs actually worked way back when. And now you have practically light bulbs that live for 10+ years and are 10 times more energy efficient.

I'll have to disagree:

You don't. But if you want specialized hardware, that hardware might only access certain parts of the net.
Have a look at Nim(https://nim-lang.org/ ). It doesn't have great IDE support, but VSCode plugin works well enough and the language has a lot going for it.

Edit: posting this because I'm in the same situation. I like Rust/Nim/Elixir but Go has a great productive ecosystem even though the language is quite "barebones".
Your analogy is pretty hilarious when you realize old light bulbs last WAY longer because they're not as bright and there are old bulbs over 100 years old still glowing.

> Microsoft holds over ARM is mostly nothing though they're newcomers here and there are far manufacturers, so I'm sure they will end up losing their bet again.

Yeah. Unfortunately Google (ChromeBooks) won the space, with virtually the same tactic, with the slight added advantage that they give you a hardware "break your warranty to unweld this hood" switch on most of the devices.

I miss the hell out of being able to be in control of the software on all my computers...
So in otherwords, you want a Linux machine but with app compatibility for Win/Apple/whatever.

- If you do mostly web stuff, Linux fits all the bills.

- If you NEED compatibility (Office/Photoshop/whatever), you can often still run many programs with "Wine" in Linux.

I really recommend trying it by downloading a "to go"/"live" version to a USB drive. Ubuntu (the most popular user flavor of Linux) is really user friendly out-of-the-box. Being on a USB drive it'll be a little slower to load, but yeah. I use it every day on a Chromebook converted to Linux.
This is a meme that keeps getting repeated, and I don't know why. Tensorflow, for example, despite several years of development, does basically little to no graph optimizations and for tons of tasks ends up much slower than PyTorch / Chainer / DyNet (Tensorflow is developing a "JIT compiler" but it is still in alpha).

It goes without saying that a framework that does define-by-run also knows the whole graph.
I think they did this because the anti-trust ruling from the early 2000s does not apply to ARM-based computers, only Intel-based machines. I guess the software lockdown proves that Microsoft hasn't changed and the late 90s Microsoft is still with us.
What did the government do?

I've used both Didi and Uber in China many many times, and it seemed like they were competing against each other pretty hard, without discounts etc.

From my perspective as a customer, it seemed like they were both just trying to outspend each other to gain market share, and Uber just decided it was no longer a good use of cash.
You missed my point, which isn't that skyscrapers shouldn't exist but that they're not viable everywhere, and so saying "skyscrapers are a better use of real estate than landscrapers" is too simplistic.

It's like saying a metro carries more people faster, so they're better than roads. They're better only where the density justifies their construction. Likewise, skyscrapers are better only in some situations.

India is also overpopulated, with a population density of 382 people per sq km vs the world average of 51, but that doesn't mean it makes sense to build skyscrapers everywhere in India.
This feels to me more like an ideological talking point than a statement with evidence to back it up. Can you explain what you mean when you say that human intelligence can create new information?

My first thought is that humans can draw conclusions from information given to them, but that sounds more like deriving information from other information.
Didi was also losing a ton of money in China. When they were competing head-to-head, both were offering ridiculous subsidies to both riders and drivers.
Depends entirely on what you mean by specialized.

Has a GPU to run games/movies? Fine.

Good luck, every single prop aimed at raising the California income taxes passed overwhelmingly. The financial bind of those who make $200,000 and live in SF is not quite shared by voters in San Bernardino, Sacramento or even east LA.

It might also turn out that the pension plans for state employees, teachers, prison guards and police have been underperforming, and unless those pension funds loaded up on Bitcoin at the right time, the California taxpayers are on the hook to make up the difference.

There’s a silver lining, of course - once the high-speed rail is completed, the ticket revenues for the masses excited to go between LA and SF will surely pay for everything.

I believe they're imagining a system where any comments on Facebook/Twitter etc would be essentially mirrored.

Perhaps a webhook of sorts that pushes comments discussing a link to the link itself and would then be imported into their own comments database.

Of course, I doubt Facebook would do this seeing as there's no tangible benefit to them
I really appreciate the authors of this post for their effort in raising awareness but I think it will fall on deaf ears.

A few things that they mentioned that they didn't go into crazy depth are origination of plastic(s), transportation costs of waste, and taxation as a policy to reduce waste.

Did you know that glass is reusable, unfortunately it's so heavy that it's worth nothing to recycle.

The other problem is where the funding for recycling goes.

In the New York City metro area, a bottle deposit tax is used towards education. If everyone recycles, where/how is the government going to plug that hole, however small it may be?

The better question that the author should be asking is what type of policy(s) should be implemented in order to make it so that people want to or are forced to reuse verses to not even think about throwing things out.

The only conclusion that I see is a super high tax.

Unfortunately,most people don't really care unless it hits them in the wallet.

You would be suprised. You could make the fines incredibly high or jail people like they do in Singapore.

If Singapore can do it, why can't New York City?

Looking at the numbers, I just don't see a real problem here. Landfill is three dimensional, and can be built on top of; it would take quite a lot of orders of magnitude population growth before we started running low on places to put it.
