Why can't this need be met by a corporation that gets paid for what they are doing?

The size of the problem here is bounded by the amount of money the companies are making invading your privacy. Simple math [1] places it at about $20/year/user for Facebook, who are probably on the upper end of what they can make by doing this. So to incentivize a company not to stay in business via selling your data, that's the bar you have to leap.

That hardly seems a big enough problem that the only solution is to turn over your social network to be run by Donald Trump, who, I feel I must remind many of you, whenever you say "The $GOVERNMENT should...", you really ought to remember that "Donald Trump" is a valid expansion of the term $GOVERNMENT. Or whoever else it is you don't like, it doesn't matter to my argument, I'm just reading the room here.

As a sidebar, if you want to get a sense of the scope of the damage that Facebook is doing to our civilization, consider all the ways in which they manipulate you, the things your friends posted that you wanted to see but didn't, the torrent of ads they have PhDs working overtime to figure out how to hit you with, enrolling you in psychological studies without your consent, embroiling you in family or friend drama that you'd rather not be embroiled in and potentially cutting off contact with people over it, and who knows what fingers on what scales when it comes to what you do and do not see in the news... for TWENTY DOLLARS. Of revenue, not even profit! Talk about your new twist on the banality of evil.

Quality distinctions are a bit hard to talk about, being qualitative. How do you differentiate between changing tastes/moods or inconsistent wineries?

The competition the economist article was about was judged (by them) purely in correctly identifying the grape and country of origin of the wine.

This is more resistant against noise, but only supports the idea that people can reliably identify wines — not that they can be graded independently. It certainly challenges the “wine judges can’t tell the difference between red and white” narrative.
Yep, recently there was a small uproar here in Belgium when the EU wanted restrictions on the baking of fries because of this exact reason.

To add to this:

I have always felt like caffeine tapped into some kind of energy reserve which could be depleted. In short bursts caffeine works great but you have to take the time to recharge.

I always come back from vacation feeling much more energetic and motivated. I only really drink coffee or consume large amounts of caffeine at work. There are many benefits to time off but I have always suspected one of them was getting off caffeine for a stretch.
I don't know if it actually does anything (yet), but you can hide videos from results.

Walmart isn't a charity. They're not getting into this market because they want to cut prices.
A private company can censor, and they often do. That is just not a form of censorship that the first amendment provides you any defense for.
What blew my mind was how parents of elementary school students somehow needed the late start time to make their work possible and parents of high school students needed the late start time... to make their work possible.

I tried explaining that parents of high school students almost certainly were once parents of elementary school children, and those elementary school parents will almost certainly one day have kids in high school, but gave up.

The best part was the parents who had kids in both schools who would still argue against the change :-)
Actually, not anyone with an email server can do it. That's literally MailChimp's value proposition - that they have servers that are trusted by the major email providers and so have high delivery rates. In order to compete with them, you must ensure that your servers are similarly trusted - the process by which this happens being an undocumented black box that is different for each email provider, which often involves having personal contacts at those providers.

In other words - there's a high barrier to entry and you can't provide the service at all if you don't have a certain amount of volume to make a certain amount of profit to cover operating costs. Targeting a niche will not provide that volume.
I disagree with ideas that school schedules should shift later. I am a night owl myself, but our "natural" sleep cycle certainly more or less falls in line with school times. We have fully disrupted our circadian rhythms with our lifestyles and especially screens/lights at night. Before artificial light, our sleep/wake schedule was set by the sun.

I know we live in a different world today, but I feel like shifting our schedule because of poor sleep hygiene and bad light habits is kind of reinforcing a bad habit. Whose to say that the shift wouldn't just perpetuate itself even after a shift of 1 hour later.
I would call it normal internet usage (have about 500GB-1000GB traffic per month, with LTE)

But then why not just sell 500 GB packages? So everyone knows what they will get.
Most EMR (electronic medical records) software isn't even regulated, though about 8-10 years ago there was a big todo about it coming down the line. Still hasn't happened. I would expect the EMRs to be regulated long before consumer apps.

I wonder if instead the usb sticks had empty wallets, would this business be legal? Going a step further, in addition to the empty wallet, if the seller offered a credit/iou of any crypto of the buyers choice (a bit like a visa gift card), where the seller could choose to excersise or claim the credit at any time (or never), I wonder if structuring it like that would still require a msb license etc..

I didn't claim that only Russia was able to make the chemical agent.

I don't entertain the false flag narrative because it is so difficult to disprove. If the UK was willing to kill this man and endanger the lives of their citizens to destabilize Russian relations, then pretty much anything is possible. Even if this was some special nerve agent that only Russia is able to make, the UK could simply kill the man with a similar nerve agent and claim it was the special Russia one. If you can't trust the UK government here, than they could easily fabricate or claim they have hard proof of Russian involvement. You also have to ask yourself what hard proof of Russian involvement would even look like, and how realistic it would be to find such a thing even if Russia were to be involved.
That’s what it is here except reversed — buses do the high school run first, and the discussion was around reversing it - like you would think it would have been from the start.
"sale, exchange, storage,"

There's no way MailChimp can know about any of this with any reasonable amount of certainty unless they're actively violating their user's privacy and reading the e-mails themselves. Machine learning is horrible with context.
I'd be surprised if someone, somewhere isn't marketing a "marketing automation delivered via blockchain" startup. :)
How many people do you think there are who are genuinely interested in hearing about opportunities to transfer wealth out of Nigeria for an unknown prince? I bet it is not a very common interest, so Google are not being lazy for not investing more manpower into it.

However, millions of people are searching about blockchain tech and are reading blockchain-related publishers every day. That is why any company which decides to censor them instead of investing resources into moderating the content is being lazy. Those companies' focus should be on their users' trust because without it they would have never achieved their bottom lines.
Sandblasting operations are a long-recognized hazard. Not only can you get silicosis but sandblasting is an abrasive process and what else besides the sand is hanging around in the air? Tiny bits of the substrate metal? Zinc (galvanizing coating), Cadmium (another plating), Chromate (paint), Lead (paint)? Is a cured cyanoacrylate paint passivated enough that it's safe to breathe its dust?

When I was a kid I didn't have anyone to tell me and no reminders to wear a respirator.

Edit: after submitting, I realized I've never used "silicon" sand as a blasting abrasive, but only glued to paper or cloth. I typically blast with aluminium oxide, coal slag, or glass beads.
That doesn't make any sense. An AP is just an AP, it has no internet connection. How does the smartphone get internet connection? With UMTS/LTE or similar. So you still need a data plan (or a combination with it).
https://bigcgi.com/development - "Fast-CGIish Integration"

Friendly advice: drop the sugar first. It's really really hard, I know...

Caffeine is most likely to mess up your mood when you also consume sugar, or alcohol. That's why green tea for example works much better: it's disgusting to oversweeten it, to mix it with sweets, or to have it immediately before or after a pint or two ;)

Coffee otoh can even be delicious in combo with fries, ice-cream and beer. Hence I only have it in the morning when I'm not tempted to mix it in such disastrous combinations.
Also, they could be held legally liable (or at least: party to a suit that suggests their legal liability) that they don't want—it's risk mitigation. But the question is: What of the other ostensible scams on their platform?
No need for a warrant to access online data. FB is happy that give them full access for a modest fee.
I’ve always wondered about creating an equivalent to Facebook as a desktop and mobile app, that connected to your email account. Adding a friend would just be inputting their email address and connecting would involve a PGP exchange in the background.

Your email would become the decrentralized, encrypted medium for exchange and broadcast. You could use IMAP to leverage it as your datastore on multiple devices.

You could more easily schedule message delivery and times too. The most complicated thing about it would be setting up a simple enough onboarding process.

It wouldn’t be efficient, but it doesn’t really need to be.

We’re talking past each other.

You have described two punishments. The only difference is severity. Further, your previous comment was far more vague than prison vs clawed back profits.

I value liberty above all else which means all punishment has a high burden of proof and all individuals are assumed innocent in the absence of this proof.

You seem to suggest setting a lower standard because it feels right to you.

That scares the hell out of me.

Putting out a new professional-grade (and thinking developer-style laptop) in 2018 without at least a 24GB or 32GB RAM option is a non-starter in my mind. Apple is also notorious for this having had 16GB RAM be the maximum for literally years now.

For a lot of engineering work, where you may need to deal with virtualization and heavy duty tooling like IDEs (XCode, Visual Studio, etc), simulators (like the iOS Simulators or Android emulator), dozens of browser tabs, multiple browsers for testing and viewing, etc etc., 16GB of RAM just doesn't cut it anymore.

"avoid maintaining useless things"

If your company is small, heed this warning. If you're spending a lot of time on maintenance of non-essential things, and struggling with supporting legacy things while creating new things, you are missing a huge opportunity. Right now, "trimming the fat" is as easy as it will ever be. As your company grows, it will only become more difficult. Be ruthless now with maintaining focus on things that "move the needle", and with killing things that don't.

Analogy:

It's like you're gearing up for a long hike. There is a natural tendency to take things along "just in case", even if you know you probably won't need it. At the trailhead, you could easily leave some of that non-essential stuff in car. You try on your pack, and it doesn't feel that heavy. You think "what's the harm". Of course, you are still fresh and full of energy at the trailhead. A few days into your hike, you start to really feel the weight of that extra stuff. The pack digs into your shoulders and hips. Your entire lower body is sore. You regret bringing the extra stuff, but now that you are in the wilderness, you cannot just dump it. You have to carry it back with you, and you wish you had exercised restraint when you had the chance.
> What Mailchimp is doing goes one step further - they are directly censoring what companies can share with their customers and what they cannot. This feels incredibly intrusive whether you are a fan of blockchain tech or not.

It's always funny to me when people think they are entitled to free speech to say or send whatever they want on other people's platforms. If MailChimp doesn't want to send your emails, they don't have to. Straight up. Their TOS also likely prevent emails about gambling, or with adult content, etc.

Every time something like this happens when company XZ decides they will block any content about YX or people associated with it, there's always a lot of discussion about it being considered censorship or why it isn't because they aren't the government but instead a business.

I don't really understand where the line is drawn though in censorship/discrimination. This mailchimp case is a really bad example but it's on the topic which has been coming up very frequently over the last year where we have seen a lot of sites like Google, Youtube, Facebook, Reddit, Twitter banning topics/people/content from their platform.

I'm wondering how close they get to the case of the infamous bakery people who were determined to be illegally discriminating against the gay couple for not making them a wedding cake [0]. I'm curious when one of these bans is going to be challenged in court and what might happen as a result.

I have a few "idiot aliases" like that...

Seems rather clear. The code itself also has a line indicating that license.
Why wait for the corporate platforms to get around to aggressively restricting your speech on their services, when you can go right to being limited by the head censor.

Britain already has a rapidly growing problem with censorship and restricted speech. This would just be a more direct way for the government to control what you can express and see online.

The authoritarians continue their march.

Within 20 years, it'll be the rare nation that doesn't have something equivalent to the Chinese firewall heavily controlling what their people do online. Nations with freedom online equivalent to what existed from ~1995-2015 across most of the developed world, will be the exception.
Starbucks coffee in California must have cancer warning, judge says
I disagree with this, not from the moral arguments that you are making, but from the importance you're seemingly placing on this vertical. E-mail delivery and marketing services are by far the most open market of those that you've listed. For example,

- Google has locked in publishers, so by banning blockchain ads, an advertiser knows their ad will never appear on a given set publishers. No way around that other than working with each publisher themselves; a difficult task to overcome.

- Facebook is still the leading social media network in the world, and not every user regularly uses multiple social networks. With those ads being banned, you know a user who isolated themselves to Facebook will never be seeing blockchain ads through a social media platform.

- Mailchimp? I don't see any exclusive factor to their business. They might be great at deliverability or a leader in their space because of their business processes, but a new company can easily pop up and be able to reach out to the same set of users. It's not like users only select to receive email from Mailchimp.

I grew up in an 10 floor apartment building and I would just fold a few planes and throw them out the window.
Now the interesting thing about a street with tall buildings is that on some perfect days the breeze forms these smooth updrafts along the building walls.

My goal was get the paper plane to catch the updrafts and actually climb up from my 3rd floor to the top of the building. It was very rare, I must have tried 10s of different fold types but sometimes conditions would be just perfect and a particular plane would ride up in circles sometimes even clearing the top floor of the building and then glide down and land sometimes hundreds of meters away or even vanish from view.

When I ran out of planes I would grab my bicycle and go out to recover as many of them possible, come back up and repeat...

...sweet times =)

There's a bit of a difference between you changing your destination vs the manufacturer updating the software while the vehicle is in motion.

A really good voice interface would be a solution here. But I'd want to that to be 'on device', not through some service where the audio gets sent.

Fortunately avionics tend to be better behaved than car electronics but there are plenty of people bitching about the latest generation of touch screen hardware in general aviation planes.

Yes, and the origin is that a résumé was a summary of your curriculum vitae, listing only the most recent/relevant parts whereas the CV was complete list of your 'life course' including all your work history, accomplishments and accreditations, no matter how long that may be.

Now, at least in industry in North America, the CV has largely disappeared. It still exists in academia and in Europe the term exists but the content is usually abbreviated like a resume.

"can't Mailchimp do whatever they want?"

No, they're in fact limited by the contract they present when they offer you their service and relevant laws that may supercede parts of that contract. That would include some privacy laws.

There's capacity and there's usable capacity. Geosynchronous, especially the newer ones, can put the capacity exactly where they need it. Leo can't. You end up with 70-90% of your capacity stranded unless you can sell it over water, even where planes don't go. So while spacex may have 3Tbps after 1000 satellites, the useable capacity will probably be less than a viasat-3 or any of the newer class satellites being built.
Good bread for $0.50/loaf? By what metric is it good? It tastes good? I never disputed that cheap bread can taste good. It has a token amount of good additives? Sure, you can do that, and it makes the bread sound healthy, without actually being healthy.

Let's assume the loaf is 1 pound (likely slightly more). You claim $0.50 ingredients in that 1 lb. Cheap flour is what, I see $0.02/oz at walmart (25lb bulk), so that's $0.32 per loaf, max. You've added 18 cents of other ingredients. (Edit: factoring in water, more like $0.15-0.20 of flour, so 30-35 cents for healthy additives). You can't buy much with 35 cents. The bread is still a bunch of empty carbs combined with some healthy food (baked, so a bunch of the nutrients are reduced. You can make more expensive bread that's 1 or 5 dollars too, it doesn't change the fact that bread is mostly empty carbs, plus whatever you added that you could have eaten separately and gotten more nutrients from.
Nobody believes me, but the real market test of MagicLeap, Hololens, and Oculus isn't coming until they release a device that's competing with smartphones.

The first iPhone was released just 10 years ago and it's now the dominant form factor for computing on the planet, but like every other technology it will come to an end.

Something more capable, more integrated into our lives, etc. will replace smartphones (just as every other technical innovation since the history of time has been improved upon and then replaced).

The right frame of reference to look at AR systems today is as very early prototypes for what that smartphone replacement tech might look like.
A middle-ground alternative might be to say, "Hey, delivering blockchain/ICO emails costs us n% more than your average email. Therefore, we will still deliver them, but at n% the usual price."

It's a little like UPS/FedEx charging more for hazardous-material shipping.

If n is large, it will have a similar effect without feeling like MailChimp is out to censor cryptocurrency.
