The question though is the overall social fabric less lonely? Maybe you benefit by being strongly coupled, but suddenly those "many friends" you had when you were single is utterly impacted by the shift. How many of those friends were only friends with each other through your connection and maybe aren't connected today? How many friends are lonelier without as much interaction with you?

To some extent modern culture has presented us this model of single-family homes and strongly coupled people against the world, and certainly it might minimize loneliness for the strong couples, but does it maximize loneliness for everyone else?

There's a lot to wonder if we've lost something in losing some of the classic "village model" of multiple families and individuals all in close proximity and relationship to each other in multi-family homes. Especially when you start to include individuals that for one reason or another don't "fit" into more traditional "Hollywood" couple relationship roles (asexual and/or aromantic folks don't always fit neatly into a strongly-bound couple role, as one obvious example to me; differently abled people have other challenges; etc).

Furthermore, a focus on strong coupling discounts the network effects of looser coupling. You may not feel hardly lonely at all always having your significant other around, but that may only be a "local maximum" state. Your maximal happiness may rely on both the reliability of a tight couple and a network of other friends filling other relationship needs. The long tail of strong couple problems from active therapy needs to cheating and divorce rates seems to suggest that it very much could be a local maximum "trap".

Anecdotally, I do feel like an individual that can't win in a game of strong coupling, and it does irk me that the suggestion is simply "be part of a couple". Hollywood and dating companies throw a lot of money at trying to tell people like me that this is the only solution, and it certainly seems like it's not a (workable) solution at all.
Me, too, and I did indeed look at these and similar items. (And probably will get a pair, just for the sheer nerd value.)

Would still strongly recommend the fixed-focus computer glasses, however. They only do one thing, but they do it extremely well.

> I would easily fork out as much as I fork out for Netflix

You don't understand how Facebook makes money.

They sell advertising to companies who are willing to pay because you came and spend money on their site / purchased their product.

It is NOT true that everyone clicked ad and ended up buying a product. Only minority did. Hence, if you can afford to fork out serious cash like Netflix fee, you are statistically much more worth to advertisers than someone who would only pay $1, or as majority - would click ad and left with abandoned/empty basket.

You will never see paid version of Facebook.

Maybe grandfather in existing property owners, but expire it when it sells. At some point the narrative has to flip to the Granny in her 1.5m home paying $1200/yr in taxes vs. the young family next door struggling with kids, student loans, and a $16k/yr property tax bill. Where's the fairness in that?
For the past 20 years or so, every state has tried doing just that. Very few have been anywhere near successful, and those that have end up with housing problems similar to (maybe not as severe as) SV.

Vehicular camping is the point of an RV, sure. OTOH, overnight camping isn't the point of a residential parking space.
There is a difference when people have never had access to things and when you take away access.

A difference would be like America and North Korea and taking away the internet. The vast majority of Americans use the internet and it is an integral part to their lives. You take it away and they would riot in a heartbeat. On the other hand if you have a regime where the majority of people never had access to the internet (or any whatever), taking it away does not cause a riot. The small groups of people that had access won't have the critical mass needed to cause such a riot.

The point is not to make a dictator to realize "Hey, maybe I'm the baddie" but "If I take this away then someone will stage a coup." Dictatorships tend not to be very stable regimes. It is hard to balance the line of power and being overthrown.

TLDR: People care much more when you remove something that is already integral to their life. Not so much if it isn't.

There's nothing to buy. This is the kind of mental olympics a judge would have to go to to give me jail time over this:
1. Decide that a phone-call with me, who lives in a one-party consent state, must be governed by the laws of the all-party consent state the company, who recorded the call themselves, is based in. I'm aware of no precedent even close to this. But wait! There's more!
2. Decide that a person can consent to keep their own recording, but not consent to others keeping their own recording, all implicitly.
3. Decide that an automated machine is sufficient to get my consent, but not the consent of the owner of the machine that's actually doing what they will claim they're not consenting to.
4. Decide that words that literally grant consent are not consent, or that me holding them to their word is not literally fulfilling the stated purpose of improving their customer service.
5. Deal with the fact that I will gladly be found in contempt of court telling the judge to go fuck his or her respective self trying to get media coverage of this stupid decision.

Facebook | Solutions Engineer | Menlo Park, NYC, Austin, Chicago, London, Dublin, Singapore, Seoul, Buenos Aires | Onsite

Solutions Engineers at Facebook spend roughly half their time working with product engineering teams and writing production code. The other half of their time is spent working directly with partners to develop and execute their Facebook technology strategy.

We find that this setup is great for engineers that want to spend more time on the business side of things or have more people interaction while still being hands on with code.

This allows large advertisers to work directly with people at Facebook that have knowledge of the ads codebase, and Solutions Engineers can implement great suggestions made by partners.

More about the role is available at https://www.facebook.com/careers/life/solutions-engineering-... .

Facebook | Solutions Engineering Manager | Menlo Park | Onsite

We also have a great opportunity for an engineering manager that would like to support a team in the Menlo Park headquarters. You would support a distributed team, so some travel would be required.

We will consider a very experienced tech lead that would like to make the transition into people management.

What you have to keep in mind here is the concept of "due process" and "fair punishment". You cannot simultaneously subscribe to the rule of law and autonomously execute punishment measured with your own subjective scale.

If you don't care about rule of law and justice then consider this: the wealthiest individuals and largest corporations will afford to "hack back" mercilessly without any due process while the layman will sit in the middle catching stray bullets from either side.

All that said I hop at the very least,people who support "hacking back" would also support a very strict and heavy punishment for anyone who hacks back the wrong attacker or causes harm to a system that was only being abused post-compromise (as opposed to attacker-owned infrastructure).

The best kinetic warfare comparison would be modern urban warfare. You can't just shoot in the direcrtion of a terrorist who attacked you, if that terrorist is hiding in civilian houses or is holding a hostage. Civilians are not trusted to make that collateral damage risk assesment due to the terrible consequence of getting that wrong

It's frustrating because I can see both sides having valid concerns, however, while Signal's position may be the right one ethically, AWS/Google are in the right practically.

Should these countries kick up a stink about a private business acting from their perspective to undermine the laws of their country, it could very well blow up into an international incident. From the point of view of AWS/Google, allowing this to happen or turning a blind eye makes them just a culpable if this were to turn into an incident.

That's not to say I don't support what Signal is trying to achieve, in fact, I very much do, however, given that in essence they forced Google/AWS into this situation without much thought makes me less sympathetic to their plight.
You are correct.

It's not just Chrome.

Chrome maintains the list that most browsers use, but it's not the only browser using the list.

Firefox, Opera, Safari, IE 11, Edge, and others are all using HSTS-Preload lists based off Chromium's.

You can see for yourself that Firefox is preloading the `app` TLD in it's preload list at [0], and Opera is using the Blink engine, so it's using Chromium's list directly.

As for the other browsers, sadly they aren't open sourced so you can't see their exact list that they use, but seeing as they base their list off Chromium's, I'd wager that they will include this TLD in their lists as well soon enough. They both already include other TLDs which are in the HSTS preload list (like .bank, .google, and .foo).

> I honestly don't think it is a big deal. It's far preferable to having people sleeping in tents, which this law basically forces an RV dweller to do.

It's presumably already illegal to sleep in tents in residential parking spaces (or, without the owner's permission, on the actual residential property), without even the time-of-day restrictions applicable to this rule, so I don't think it's accurate to say this forces them to sleep in tents.

It forces them to sleep either at different places than LA residential neighborhoods or at different times.

What does this mean for "opposites attract" and "my better half"? Many substantial, long-term, fulfilling relationships are mutual partnerships where each person grows and as a couple find things that are "theirs" while filling critical roles for each other.

Fine-grained matches might not be that great. What will one have to learn from a relationship? What new interests will be developed? I know that FB's sociologists and ML experts have been considering these aspects more than I, but I fear the continued segregation and viewpoint-reinforcement that FB and algorithmic association sites subtly (or invisibly) are forcing upon society.
Plays into Russia's hands, actually. Russia has been pushing for a nationalist approach to messaging, rather than having its citizens use Telegram (ironically, developed by the Russian who created VKontakte.)

Nations that lean authoritarian are teching up their sovereign walled gardens, banning external/ungovernable services as soon as it's feasible.

The long play is to knuckle under and defer to local governments, as Amazon, Google and Facebook have shown.
