I've been reading the NY Times, Washington Post, Wall St. Journal, BBC and others for a long time now; most of what I see published isn't improving my mind, awareness, or store of useful knowledge. Some of it is flat out wrong.

As I became more and more educated on certain topics I noticed this more and more - articles about a field I know a lot about often get the details wrong, and draw the wrong conclusions because of it. I'm reasonably sure this isn't unique to my fields of expertise.

That has nothing to do with paid/free, but if someone is going to say I should pay them to provide me with knowledge, I'd like to be sure they actually possess said knowledge, consistently.

As it is, different papers are good for different things and almost completely untrustworthy for others. By virtue of a subscription, I subsidize both.
Thanks for explaining that makes sense. What kind of metering device will glow based on these kinds of EM fields?
Perhaps it would alter your perception to know that many large derivatives are valued using end-of-day prices, or even intraday prices (as is the case with one-touch options), and that the volume of trading is generally highest (and thus allows the most liquidity for hedging) at the opening and closing moments of the trading day.

Not to mention that the significance of a variance injection is usually a function of its timescale.

I want to point out that market mechanics are vastly different when individual daily moves are higher, even if weekly moves are identical. In other words, there is a path dependency. Stop orders get triggered as a result of price action. The price of option products tends to increase in high-volatility moments. Day traders and market makers have intraday losses that alter the way they trade, both psychologically and according to the rules of their firms. Price discovery becomes more difficult, which makes market access more expensive.

The fundamentals of companies may not change directly, but the cost of doing business changes for financial companies, and that can affect other companies on a larger timescale. For example, a media company that does stock buybacks via accelerated share repurchase agreements will have a fundamentally different deal profile if it expects volatility to be higher, because these agreements often include terms for cancellation if the stock dips beyond a particular price.

Highly volatile markets can also affect companies' ability to access money by borrowing from banks or selling financial assets. So, even on a longer-term horizon, higher daily volatility makes the financial regime inherently different, even if weekly volatility remains unchanged.

If you relegate big daily moves to the realm of "I don't care," you prevent yourself from perceiving some of those differences, and ultimately only harm yourself -- the rest of the market, by and large, understands that big daily moves have an impact on the market even if they are reversed shortly thereafter.

Yes, that's been a benefit of the collapse in speculative interest. Now transactions are affordable again. And regardless of Bitcoin's eventual fate, I'm rather confident that something like it or better will be available ongoingly.

It is a choice each one will make for oneself. I e.g. made the choice to selectively read things, drop out completely from social media, buzzfeed (and the sort) and rely on proper journalism. I am 100% with Danny on this one.

Of course (freedom of choice) one may select the Kardashians (and unfortunately not the Star Trek ones) over poetry. I want them to select what they feel like consuming, and I want me to have the same choice. The problem is with many outlets switching to 'junkfood', the few that may remain become hostage to money-hungry shareholders and thus the game is slowly being lost.
Considering that traditional culture in my perspective includes racism, sexism, and homophobia, I'll have to pass on whatever point you're trying to make right now
Thanks, that’s a good idea.

The way we try to handle that now is by having an option for writers to write free posts - which are visible to anybody, and get emailed to non-paying subscribers. That way you can get a sense of the writing before committing (and regular readers are the ones who subscribe anyway...)

You’re right that that doesn’t let you “preview” the paid content though. We’ll think about that.
My only concern with this move is that Nest products might become less open as a result.

Apple, Google, and Amazon are developing competing ecosystems and Apple has been making/keeping theirs as closed as possible. Amazon has remained relatively open and Google has been somewhere between the two.

I get the feeling that Google would love to be a completely closed system and they seem to be moving in that direction.

>I wonder what would be the ideal format for that?

Don't start with what might be the ideal format. Think of something, read comments here and in other places you announced this, consider them, and add a feature, then iterate on it based on experience and feedback.

But try to be somewhat canonical and orthogonal (not 100%). That often helps, IME. I sometimes see startups missing out on these principles, maybe because of the rush to get something out.

It looks to me like this is useful for these reasons:

When sending; a single interface may have many peers configured. In that case WG needs to be told which peer to tunnel the packet to or it wouldn't know. It's can be viewed as WG internal routing table, in addition to the ordinary IP routing table.

When receiving; although the packet is proven to be from a configured peer, that peer may have used any IP as a source (referring to the encapsulated traffic). Even if you trust all your peers are who they should be this is a potential security risk. For example a peer may spoof its source IP to imitate another peer. You could patch this hole with iptables rules, but this way is more convenient and has a better chance of being correct since it's simpler to configure.

If you don't want any of this I suppose you could just set up multiple WG interfaces instead, configuring only a single peer for each interface and setting AllowedIPs to 0.0.0.0/0. That should give you the same behavior as a what I think you mean by "real VPN".
For the purpose of conversation could you actually give a few examples of what you're talking about ?.

Is junky free content really more popular in the grand scheme of things or just the most popular content on the web?

The only thing that creeps up on TV consumption in the US is social media use. Billions of books containing hundreds of pages each are sold in the US each year and presumably some large fraction of those are read.

Hundreds of millions of magazine subscriptions are sold in the US, mostly of monthlies.

The metrics used to measure online success are just sort of muddled. Imagine if we evaluated magazines by how many pages were turned. You would get some very silly magazines very quickly.

Instead magazines are evaluated by the demographics of their subscribers, prestige as judged by things like prizes, and the scale of the subscriber base.

Unlike websites which just model demographics and are usually not audited, magazines can have their subscriber lists audited and are mostly not modeled. Same thing with cable TV/Netflix/other paid services. The demographics don't really have to be modeled because you have every person's name and address. Each individual or household has to pay so you know they're individuals that exist and not bots.

I think one issue with the way media companies have evaluated 'social media' is that they considered it to be another form of professional media. Really what it replaces are phone calls, mail, and in-person chatter or photo album sharing. It does not and has not really replaced traditional media consumption.

Dude, there are loads of third-party music apps out there, including plenty that let you copy music to your phone any way you please—from a USB drive, from SFTP, etc. Check out nPlayer for a power-user media player.

Personally I keep my personal music in Plex, and my Plex server is available to me at any time. I can locally sync whatever music I like. I’d gladly use iCloud Music library but I’m well north of 100k tracks.

I actually sort and organize my music and its metadata with Swinsian.

Perhaps it would be more convincing if these reports weren't over 3 years old. I own multiple Nest Protects, with no issues whatsoever. A year ago, I got pinged on my phone while we were out and about about a CO leak. Turned out we'd forgotten to turn the stove off. Without that ping, we'd probably only have come home a couple of hours later. That alone is worth their cost to me.
Politics still matters, from a legal data sharing perspective.

For instance, let's say I integrate a thermostat/camera/x device with Google Home/Assisstant. Based on # of users who connect devices and use the integration I could get some idea of user base/popularity/sales rate.

"On paper" there is separation between the two companies, and the agreement between Google and Thermostat Company A might say "data is not shared with any other entity within Alphabet".

Now that agreement is potentially null, since they might be the same thing now.

Or even things like "we're going to release a new product and want to integrate it with Google Home in advance, etc, etc".
But how does a set of proofs let you know that it's not going to cause a kernel panic or stop forwarding traffic in edge-cases that aren't well-tested (e.g. lossy and/or high-latency links).

My only concern with this move is that Nest products might become less open as a result.

SEO will see each account as a separate domain, so your primary site ranking will be low. Further, there's too many ways for user subdomains to be mistaken or conflict with company products and promotions. It's usually best to reserve subdomains for company needs — you never know what you'll need 5-10 years from now.

Talk Like a Texan: How Texans Use “Down,” “Out,” “Over,” and “Up”
I think this was the natural progression intended from the beginning and it's a good thing. I personally like the aggregation that Google is undergoing. All hardware under hardware, all cloud related under Google Cloud etc. I understand Kaggle is going to be part of Google Cloud as well. Which makes sense. There was a very large fragmentation of teams previously.
No, most people are not like you. Saying "impossible to do other things" is a main feature is just nonsense.
And I think you hit the dirty secret that people who use the 77% number tend to ignore. There are fundamental differences in the kinds of work and the general approach to work that males and females take. Nothing wrong with that, but to ignore that in the discussion would be a disservice.

What this shows is that at least 7% of a wage gap could be considered normal and to be expected.
How to turn off iPhone throttling in iOS 11.3
Interesting. So far my initial reaction to overuse of absolutist words has been to regard the person as relatively incapable of accurate depiction of reality, as absolutist descriptions are usually simply dead wrong. I might start taking a more empathetic approach I think.

Thanks! We’ve had (paying, highly engaged) users report that they like there is nothing to think about.

One thing in future that’s really exciting to us is the idea of building community, and using the paid barrier as a way to solve a whole bunch of the problems that normally come with that. Some writers have slacks, and people who follow a niche writer often delight to meet each other.

Need to find a way to keep it just as simple though.
Looks great. I love the styling.

As a general feedback: I'm a bit cautious about using third party Chrome extensions. I'm more OK with giving auth to my LinkedIn account. Maybe a server side option with headless chrome would be a good addition.
I've thought about that... If things change and break, it should be pretty easy to fix as long as LinkedIn doesn't make massive changes... The extension just goes through the page and extracts the elements that contain what I need.

So to get the person's name, it just looks for h1.pv-top-card-section__name and grabs that.

As long as what I need is available and visible on the page, I should be able to grab it.

The next thing I'm working on is something similar to ineedaresu.me (a project I made a few years ago) - but with a ton of improvements and better themes and customization options. It'll work the same as this extension, but it won't rely on LinkedIn - you'll have to enter the content yourself.
Most of the time it's recruiters who want a docx file so they can fudge certain points and mislead the employer into giving you an interview, for which they undoubtedly get paid commission for.

Just saying. Some people are fine with this. I personally don't trust any recruiter that won't happily accept a PDF or at least tell me why they want the resume changed.

Your actions are not meaningless. They are what one person can accomplish, and thats what everybody has to be content with when in doubt.

If you make the world better by being less bad, then chances are you are already doing what one human can do. That is fine and enough for one human, by definition.

When we aim for the stars we first must learn to walk, and be content with little steps for a very long time.

Mozilla's open source home automation project is a very big silver lining to this kind of news. Google has not shown any interest in creating a truly open platform, or in creating lower cost hardware alternatives (no not everyone wants an audiophile speaker in a simple home automation controller).

There’s Plenty of Room in the Corners: On the Volume of High-Dimensional Spheres
I would normally agree with you here except that I've accidentally renamed files on Windows so many times only to lose them because something was in focus that I didn't intend to be. I use a combination of the mouse and keyboard when browsing and the fact that I can accidentally click on a file (which renames my current file to that file) and save or click enter thinking that I'm saving which then just starts to rename the file is utter garbage in an Open or Save dialog box. I feel like the only things I should be able to do are Open a file or Save a file but not rename other files. Neither is a good solution so it comes down to preference but I definitely see the reason for it because it happens to me on Windows all the time.
German workers win right to 28-hour week – Feb. 7, 2018
I use it on an iphone. I haven't tried to access that music through another music app ... I think what the synology app does is carve out storage space to be used for downloaded music based on the configuration you give it. For instance, if you're okay with 10 gigs of storage being used for music storage, it will do that, either in archival formats live .wav or .flac or in transcoded .mp3 and other compressed formats. You wouldn't really be handcuffed to the player if you wanted to switch in the future ... all the music is still yours and is housed on your NAS (with RAID for redundancy and preferably some off-site back-up as well).

As someone else mentioned, VLC does the job as well (I use VLC for movie playback on my phone and love it). Synology is just really nice and easy to use, so I prefer it for music.
Well, if you've got multiple companies, explain the problem to each of them. The one with the best answer for how they will work with you is the one who gets first crack at interviewing you. The rest get in line.

I'm exploring with a sort of "theme engine" to let people make and style custom themes. It's not as easy as just using CSS, since each layout/theme reorganizes the actual sections as well.

But I've done something similar in the past. I made the site ineedaresu.me, and have since made a few custom resume generators for different schools and organizations, styled how they like it, with custom fields, etc.
Always a good idea to mention why the name of the product.

> who are stunningly ignorant of some of the things they talk about

what interests me is that you say "some of" (I have had the same experience). where I struggle is trying to pay attention when these people actually know what they are talking about. it becomes so difficult to know what is bullshit and what is real, and I often miss out on valuable insight because I can't trust what they say 50% of the time.
Absolutely true. I use a MATE desktop too, I can't even rename files in the save dialog. And I don't want to look it up either because it is so inconsistent all the time...

I would extend your argument to Windows Explorer in general.
I'm not Texan but lived in Austin for 8 years and found that this had snuck into my own speech without realizing it. I.e. I lived in East Austin and saying "going out to Krause Springs" (west); "head over to Bastrop" (east); or "go down to New Braunfels" (south) comes naturally to me now.

I'm curious though, is the phenomenon described in the article really a Texas thing? Do people in San Jose "go out to Santa Cruz" and "go over to Yosemite"?

Conceptually the MacOS Resource Fork is basically a directory where all of your filenames have to be exactly 4 characters long. The only difference is that each "file" might be a stack of "files". So you might have a CODE resource that has multiple CODE segments in it.

One thing I loved about old MacOS apps is opening them up in ResEdit and so much of how the thing was built.

> So let me propose a little framework: “Enjoy content. Not too much. Mostly paid”.

High quality, good free content can still be found on the web. Some people, including me, actually like the idea of giving away content for free.

I found a pretty strong visual content filter is the bling factor: you know, those extremely insightful old fashioned no bullshit plain html sites with minimal CSS, and no ads... One of the reasons they don't really need ads is because it costs pennies to host and serve KiBs of content, there is no "platform" or "ad engines" or any of that nonsense, it's just some people who want to share some insights, they write some static html and throw it up for pennies because it's KiBs. This style of content authoring tends towards good content because it's not prone to hunt for eyeballs... it's just there, there is no difference to the author or the content's existence regardless of how many views and clicks happen.

That said it doesn't have to look crude, It's some clean minimal CSS design can improve the legibility of the content immensely without bloating it - it's just less common.
Another good approach might be to do it the other way around: Get rid of the pseudo-file-manager dialogs entirely and let applications integrate with the regular file manager.

I think RISC OS (?) did this. Open documents in applications had icons representing them which you could drag to the file manager to save. (And perhaps to other applications to open?) Mac OS also has (or had?) this to some extent – many document-based applications show an icon in the title bar, which is for dragging and dropping the document in question.

Even Windows has an example of catering to this way of working, in Explorer, where the folder icon in the location bar represents the current folder and can be dragged and dropped. They even have some custom behavior to prevent the window from being raised when you drag from it, so that it works more like classic Mac OS and lets you drag to an overlapping window.
It's also a potential cross-domain attack vector if you let your users insert arbitrary code. See, for example, why github pages was switched from `.com` to `.io`: https://github.com/blog/1452-new-github-pages-domain-github-...

As a long-time Gnome user, I've only realized how bad it is after reading this comment ;) (No irony here, I agree it's truly horrible now.)

But, I only realized it now because almost none of the apps I regularly use make use of Gnome's default file open/save dialog. Linux's extreme inconsistency has some benefits ;)

Oh, and talking about Gnome, the only reason anyone uses it is that after configuring a few basic stuff, you can completely ignore it, just run your apps, forget that there's an actual OS with GUI somewhere beneath them. Heck, if even the applications running on it ignore Gnome and its "standard widgets", its biggest strength is that it can be easily ignored!
