There are 3 reasons to send people to prison: retribution (punishment), rehabilitation and removal (from society so they can’t commit any more crimes).

Now, should retribution be infinite? Is rehabilitation impossible? Should a criminal be permanently removed from society?

We generally answer no to these questions except in rare situations that are front-page news and enter popular vocabulary. That’s why Google is in the wrong here.

And they know it too - the only reason they want to do it is a few more ad clicks.
Having worked with the tech press a lot, having written in pubs myself, and knowing quite a few reporters well, I think I can confidently say that payments for inside information are pretty rare.

A lot of those sites appear Brutalist, but open up their source and you can see they are still quite bloated. So they are just going for the look. Someone posted https://wiby.me on here regarding an article about old websites. This is an example of web brutalism, the site itself is basic but not ugly and there is practically nothing in the source that is going to slow down my machine. Hacker News is also a perfect example. Now one example from that article (https://theoutline.com/ which I picked randomly) has a 284kb CSS file in it. This is the norm, not the exception for most contemporary sites.

> Why cant people just use an older copy of the WHATWG standard as the new "stable" documentation?

Because the order of incorporation into the standard and the order of implementation and stabilization aren't the same, and some fesutres may be implemented incompletely in some browsers, so that what is stable and usable is a subset of features (and sometimes a subset of functionality within a particular feature) that doesn't correspond to any particular version of the LS. So you'd need manual curation.

> It seems unnecessary to have an entirely separate organization

Perhaps, though the audience and thus interested parties for the implementor-focussed spec and the developer-focussed spec are different.

Thanks very much for this - I'm excited for the book, since I've believed the general outline of this concept for a while now.

Despite all the outrage over this memo, all I can really think is "yes, what a great argument for state-sponsored medical R&D." Questioning the profitability of a market doesn't determine the profitability of that market, and if something socially-valuable turns out not to be market-friendly, that's an obvious case for state intervention.

(If someone made me Emperor, I'd probably pick a deregulated, free-market approach but increase state research spending by an order of magnitude.)

buying a used gas-burning car is actually less detrimental to the environment than buying a new EV

I think that's only true if that gas burning car was going to be destroyed if you didn't buy it. Someone will buy it, maybe someone that's replacing their older less efficient car. And by buying the more expensive EV, your demand is helping to increase volume and lower costs of EV's.

> If we want to have Brutalism as a valid design approach for the web, we first need to decide on what exactly the word means.

It's already been defined in the design community. Further, the post is well over a year behind common discussions on the return (not beginning) of Brutalism in web design.

Brutalism in web design has been around since the beginning. Professional designers, influenced by artists popular during the 70s & 80s (Warhol, Laurie Anderson, Sex Pistols) used this approach deliberately as a way to challenge the bland markup style of early Yahoo et al... and now today's modern flat design.

It's quite obvious that, to put it mildly, that's wishful thinking inspired by a heavily rose-tainted view of Apple.

We use packer to reproducibly create VM images for our aws deployments. Going on 3+ years and multiple clients now. The biggest pain point for me has been having multiple small bash lines in the json spec packer uses.
Part of it is that we make a lot of excuses for drivers since car ownership was a key part of the American self image for the 20th century. That also meant that there was an assumption that bicyclist meant poor and often non-white, adding that pressure to assume the victim was at fault.

The self-image and idea of what a successful American is supposed to look like wasn’t something I thought about until my cycling group had unpleasant encounters with bitterly resentful drivers in San Diego county. All middle-aged or older white guys driving expensive vehicles, clearly unimpressed by California law if it involves sharing with people unlike them. I should also note that our group was rather scrupulous about the rules of the road so it wasn’t a case of escalating bad behavior.

I support the decision, Pai even did something similar when Trump went on one his tirades about taking licenses from the large news companies. He even quoted the Democratic Senator Markey is this reply.

Sinclair can easily lose its trust with its viewers let alone its own talent and that can effect change. There is already scripted news out there that presents facts in a similar manner. It all comes down to, who is upset by it?

if Washington politicians are the ones upset then I am not concerned. They already exert such control over the media by simply coercing news to play nice or lose access that we should always be worried when they want to stifle any speech.
When every second of your life is recorded and might have to be accounted for -- what a burden.

Come on. I understand they want to keep their new iPhones a secret and that's fine, but they really shouldn't be jeopardizing people's employment. Not to mention that they are fine with leaking to the press themselves when it suits their purpose.

I really appreciate this. Thank you.
I think it’s a lot more complicated than your oversimplification. For example, where does a quid-pro-quo relationship fit into your categories?

Saying leaked out of “ego” is equivalent to saying it was leaked “because”. We know it was something internal to the leaker’s psyche, but research should help us understand what led up to that point and how it could have been avoided.

For example, would you say a gossiper gossips because of “ego”?
And why would that be? That message is basically a feedback request. They are attempting to address a legitimate issue that may cause them a decline in viewership and resulting revenues.
Easy way to narrow down who is leaking eh?

Always thought that’s the best way to narrow down the leaks. Give variations of info to subgroups, and target the group based on which variant was leaked.

That sort of makes sense though, if the design trend (whether you wanna call if 'brutalism' or just the form du jour), is more focused on the aesthetic rather than how it gets built. I suspect the adherents to this type of design would consider themselves designers, not developers, and thus are less concerned with bloat and file size.

>How does a manufacturer have the right to sue for copyright infringement when it's just end users reselling authentic parts?

I'm not sure this is an accurate representation of Apple's case. First, it seems like they are suing for trademark infringement, not for copyright infringement. Second, the repair shop owner is by no stretch of the imagination the end user of this product. Wikipedia gives this definition of end user:

"In product development, an end user (sometimes end-user)[a] is a person who ultimately uses or is intended to ultimately use a product.[1][2][3] The end user stands in contrast to users who support or maintain the product,[4] such as sysops, system administrators, database administrators,[5] information technology experts, software professionals and computer technicians."

As for "no way markets them as OEM parts," this is not a very consumer-focussed answer. I think a reasonable step that this guy should have to take is to explicitly state, "I am not an authorized Apple repair technician and these parts are not guaranteed to be genuine Apple parts. They do not bear an Apple warranty and are not eligible for support by Authorized Apple Technicians."

Otherwise, from Apple's perspective, this repair shop owner is just taking advantage of Apple's reputation for quality and using it to make cut-rate repairs.
This also looks a lot like https://coinlib.io/. What differentiates this from the other CMC clones out there?
I can come up with plausible reasons for why intelligence leakers do what they do (sense of duty, serving public interest, etc). I can't come up with any for an Apple employee.

The leaks an Apple employee makes is about inconsequential stuff like what features the next iPhone will have. It's not even in the same ballpark as someone who is leaking something illegal going on at the company or someone at Facebook leaking the Boz memo, for example.
This may be true, but I think it has more to do with people's willingness to pay more for treatments (over time), than for cures (one time expense). This is an unfortunate irrationality that I think is probably the source of this problem, to the extent that it exists.

All else equal, people should be willing to pay a bit more (in terms of lifetime cost) for a cure than a treatment (certainty, finality premium). If that is the case, then cures are always at least equally worth developing. If that's not the case however, then yes we do indeed run into a bad local minima.

> No, working from an spec written as an algorithm is easier than working from ABNF plus some inconvenient prose constraints.

That sounds very unlikely.

I’ve implemented my own parsers for countless specs – plaintext or binary, and the parsers that are written as imperative algorithms are insanely complicated to implement as functional implementations.

I end up with horrifying code, while the specs written as ABNF are much easier to translate into pattern matching code.

The specs written as algorithm only work fine for a single type of implementation IME, while the ABNF specs work equally well for all types.
