> You can only be libertarian if a) you've never bothered to study history or b) it's a cover story for an ulterior motive.

While I somewhat agree and don't consider myself a libertarian, I'm much more of Thomas Sowell supply-side economics fiscal conservative and social liberal, I believe this smug, self-righteous tone, littered with broad absolute dismissives, ("We've tried libertarianism. It simply doesn't work") through-out your post perfectly typifies the problem with US tribal politics, especially the left-leaning sort.

You could easily change the wording and throw in some similar greatly over-simplfied examples, and you could say "We tried socialism and it completely failed", as a dismissal for modern big-government liberalism. Which is ridiculous and unhelpful.

These endless trite left vs right debates on the internet always seem to pigeonhole unique and complex historical moments (with distinct geography, historial circumstance, economic situations, cultural differences, broad incentives, birth rates, technological differences, etc, etc) into some ideal fantasy governments that never really existed or even marginally fit into the molds of ideologies being questioned.

I mean... even scale is a huge difference maker. I believe smaller country's governments function far better (see: Canada, Scandinavia). As do "early-stage" countries in the growth stage after being up-ended. To apply some generic economic political system broadly across every country, big or small, financially stable or not, old population, cultural work, etc) is not a interesting or helpful as people seem to think.

Example: I love hear people explain how "Iceland nationalized banks and look how great it worked", meanwhile Iceland has a total population of a small US city, 0.01% the size of the US.

So it's entirely possible you're right. A more pure form of libertarianism, which may have worked well in the past when the country was 5% the size with immature industry, is likely going to be a disaster if it was imposed today. That doesn't mean it's not a good or superior model more fundamentally as a guiding force when shaping current polcy, or even within the larger system in thousands of isolated situations (such as schooling for example). Nor does it mean it wouldn't be ideal for a different culturally or smaller or geographically distinct group of people or for certain states within a heavily federated system.

>The end game would be for the business to run something like duplex on the other side, and you’d have duplex talking to duplex.

Is this satire? If this is indeed the future, I wonder if there is an irresistible urge to make systems as inefficient as possible. Kind of "like gases expand to fill the container, applications become as inefficient as the power of the hardware allows".

Google's business model is to charge more for ads because they target in a way to minimize waste.
This very much reminds me of inaccurate perceptions people have of being a teacher since they've had so many teachers they get a sense that they are pretty familiar with the profession but most have only seen one side of it. Also analogous to the other point you were making, a difficulty in education research is how hard it is to come up with generalizable conclusions since each context can be unique.

There was a study where they wrote some software with a bar on it representing brain activity in the area of the brain that decreases when meditating.

"To obtain its high precision, we trained Duplex’s RNN on a corpus of anonymized phone conversation data. The network uses the output of Google’s automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology, as well as features from the audio, the history of the conversation, the parameters of the conversation (e.g. the desired service for an appointment, or the current time of day) and more."

But we already are and have been for a very long time (the 2A has no limitation as tintypes of arms), and, more importantly, we’re violating the premise it rests on regarding reliance on the citizen militia without which it makes no sense (and we've been doing that for longer.)

Their income is irrelevant. If they consume fewer kWh of electricity than the average power company customer, they will get a net benefit. They might pay a $25 tax, but get a $40 benefit. Meanwhile the large factory might pay $5,000 but they still get the same $40 rebate the pensioner gets.

Given that large corporations who consume huge amounts of electricity are in the pool, it's almost impossible that the pensioner could consume more than the average.

Roadmap for CoreOS Integration with Red Hat OpenShift
We'll probably build an app at some point but one of the reasons was just to get something built as quickly as possible, just for our family, and an app seemed like overkill. Another thing is that it's super tough to get my youngest brother to engage with anything tech (I doubt I would've been able to get him to download an app and install it) and SMS reminders ended up being a low friction way to get him involved.

Apple is known to shamelessly copy features that work and are consumer friendly- I have no doubt that they'll be keeping a close eye on how consumers respond to these updates.
At least this might ease some of the pressure on the housing market in the Bay Area.

I definitely agree with you. It also just seems like such disingenuous crocodile tears from google.

Like don't act as if we don't see through this--you see how angry people are getting about facebook and all the other manipulative technologies tuned to be as addictive as possible for their advertiser's sake. You see the outrage and you know you've been doing the same thing so you're trying to get ahead of the PR disaster. All of a sudden google's all about disconnecting and not distracting you with AI-tailored bullshit and ads 24/7.

And yeah. Adding an AI assistant to your home and car isn't going in the right direction. Like how do they figure that's going to help you disconnect? I see the justifications but they feel really contrived. Just another way for them to soak up all your data and target you for more and more manipulative and addictive content.

I personally think that letting AI assistants into your life is yet another terrible idea. Why are we doing it? Is it really that great? Is a little bit of convenience really worth it? I think people will do literally anything for a slight increase in convenience, no matter how small. Anything. It's crazy.
Now I'm wondering what could be code-words to signal that they're AI and go into modem-mode...

A PayPal employee who buys snacks on campus wouldn't be likely to have the same kinds of experiences that a vendor using PayPal has, or even the same experience as someone buying from an unknown vendor - it would always be a smooth and risk-free transaction. And if an employee ever has a problem with their PayPal account, it can probably be promptly resolved by talking to the right people, unlike the horror stories one constantly reads about vendors losing access to all their funds for weeks because PayPal thinks their legitimate transactions are suspicious. So this doesn't seem to me like a useful case of "eating one's own dogfood".

I think that corporations already try to exert way too much control over their employees' lives. Forcing them to use a particular payment service or a particular brand of personal phone seems a bit too intrusive to me. Employees should be able to exercise autonomy over their private lives, even when they're at work.
Really random question - what's the difference between a seed fund and an early-stage VC?

No, I only use macOS on my MBP 2015.

As for the builtin software's quality, I agree it's not stellar -- and the App Store on macOS is a relic from the past that's way beyond its lifetime and needs urgent rework.

That being said, the OS itself is crazy stable for me and the occasional glitches appear only once or twice. Not sure how you got so unlucky, sorry about that.

And finally, I was able to find software for absolutely everything I need, in every single user or programming area. Granted I am not a researcher that has to maintain 50+ installed runtimes and compilers but I code in several languages and use several different databases and I haven't stumbled upon a single issue there.

The bits about the OpenShift integration are interesting I guess, but buried about halfway down is the news that they intend CoreOS' Container Linux to supplant their existing Fedora/RHEL Atomic Host, and Brandon Philips from CoreOS says that they're be continuing to base it around Ignition[0]

I'm genuinely surprised at this. RH has put a ton of work into rpm-ostree for a long time. I guess there's a chance they'll meld it somehow with Ignition and Container Linux's Chrome OS bits when they turn it into Red Hat Container Linux or whatever it'll be called, but it's surprising to see Red Hat supporting a Linux distro not based of of RPMs and installed with kickstart/anaconda.

The issue is that ads themselves are a waste of time, targeted or not.
I bought a book on "music theory". It was a relatively recent release and had about ten 5 star reviews. It was relatively cheap, so I bought it.

There was no music theory ... just an exhaustive list of scales. The "more than 100 exercises on CD" was simply 30 seconds of the author playing each scale.

So I went back and read the reviews. They were "Just perfect!" and "Exactly what I was looking for!".

Comically, a couple reviews of a different music theory book were obviously writing their review in a foreign language then translating it to English because instead of using the phrase "music theory" they used "music hypothesis".
I mean like "Hey Facebook Messenger, order me this book". The vision was about bypassing Amazon (and the Internet) and having Messenger at the heart of commerce.
