But that's a general problem, completely orthogonal to Google.

Gentrification is just a big sign, that renting as a means for providing shelter is a very fragile system without proper market controls.

Of course, in general the inequality of the situation leads to exploitation of those who don't have enough money to buy something to hedge against rising rents.
See slide 33, "The Changing Internet", for the most interesting insight (IMO). It basically said that when IPv6 was developed, IPs were still pretty good identifiers (it was important everyone had their own), but that now it's not so important that everyone has their own, so there's not much incentive to change.
To achieve perfection you have to get every little thing just right, and that implies complexity. What it doesn't necessarily imply is complex processes or products, which is the problem with software.

Making the perfect knife, or the perfect cup of tea, can be done by one person with just two or three tools. But you have to know how to get everything just right, and that requires a lot of knowledge and experience.

You can make a machine or abstractions to handle most of these things, but rather than reach perfection, they just reach a reliably satisfactory facsimile. We keep tinkering, like an amateur sculpter carving out a mountain, because we're still hoping for perfection.

I was thinking more along the lines that if our minds process outside information in a way that makes sense of that information, partially through simulating it, it does not seem so strange if the structures end up matching the outside structures through some form of convergent evolution.

From a cursory reading of that article I do not see it argue the same thing.
> Gaming is hardly a major driver of infrastructure choices, with all due respect.

When it comes to consumer ISPs, who are the people paying for the high-end packages?

> The issue is that most businesses are now so well-acquainted with NAT-ting, they don't really care for IP addresses. In fact, the more opaque your network topology is to the outside, the better from a security point of view. Every app works through http these days (because proxies are mandatory, again for security), so there is little need for real addresses.

Existing large businesses are happy with their current ways of doing things, sure. But those have never been the early adopters. IPv6 suits the startups (anyone who's working with containers hits problems from reusing the same subnets sooner or later) and it suits businesses that have to merge existing networks. No-one wants to be first, but there will come a point where the IPv4 costs are high enough to be worth doing something about.
You were probably just using a common phrase in some non-literal way, but I absolutely _can_ blame someone for lying in an attempt to make money, all the more so when it is around medical and legal issues.

Not quite the point of what I was trying to convey.

My point was more that your responsibility should be to avoid crashing into things. In the posted scenario, you're probably better off slowing down and being rear-ended than smashing into whatever and then _also_ being rear-ended.

On a slightly different point, if someone's following me so closely that I'm properly worried about their stopping distance, I will slow down and let them pass. Better that the idiot is in front where I can see them properly and they can't crash into me, and then I don't have to worry about the car behind me if I need to brake suddenly.

Where to begin..

First, I'm debating not because I lack perception of the possible ways OP's content may be interpreted, but because I am questioning the reasons of the ways it may be interpreted. There's a nuance that is not so hard to grasp.

> most women would not agree to such a relationship.

And you think that because you believe people treat all people the same? Meaning just because it is your experience that women would not agree to such a relationship means that they do not agree with such a relationship period? Did it occur to you that they may not be "agreeing" to such a relationship with you, i.e: that you are a variable that must be controlled in an experiment. Did it also occur to you that they may not be agreeing to such a relationship because you're the kind of person who thinks they may not? Did you think that such a thing may only be something you believe to be true, have you tried to prove yourself wrong and actually be in that kind of relationship? And if you did and failed to be in such relationships, is it enough to generalize and say that it's the women who do not agree to these relationships (and taking yourself out of the equation) or does it have something to do with you?

Let me drive the point home: your whole argument is saying that you should separate your "private" persona from your "professional" persona. Which means you do not behave the same with your buddies as you do with your coworkers/employer.. Which means there are whole swaths of your personality that are unknown from your colleagues. Does the fact that some aspects of your personality are unknown to your colleagues mean that these aspect do not exist or do they just not exist in the same space and time as your colleagues? Does women willingness to be in such relationship not exist at all just because it does not exist within your time and space? Isn't this what someone who's good at "human stuff" should be aware of, or is it enough to have one's biases in check? Do you think the barely veiled condescension and snark in your penultimate sentence helps people expose their true self to you knowing they might be so negatively judged, do you not think it reinforces your beliefs about what "most" people would and would not agree to?

I think the suggestion is that building a page with jQuery is now seemingly as “forgotten” a technique as building a page with plain HTML, despite being both a relatively-recent and still-valid approach to modern design.

(Saying that nobody uses plain Javascript to build pages these days wouldn’t be as notable, and so not as funny. jQuery is just standing in for “plain Javascript” here, because it sort of was the only way to write plain Javascript that worked in all browsers, until browsers standardized on their JS APIs some eight years back.)
jquery is a technology that has mostly outlived its usefulness, much like the others on the list.
well with javascript itself maturing, many are starting to believe jquery is no longer needed. Plus, it was the first real framework back in the day. When I think old internet, I think pre-jquery, but I guess I am getting old. We still use jquery at work...

The guidance we have received is that if your business is not located in the EU, not targeting EU countries, you don't have parts of your site translated to languages spoken in EU countries, and do not have an EU-based domain name extension, your EU traffic is considered incidental and GDPR probably does not apply to you. But, as with everything in the GDPR, that is extremely murky. This law is subject to unique interpretations and degrees of enforcement in the courts and regulatory offices of 28 distinct countries. This is why we simply chose to block EU traffic - there's no need for us to take on the liability of EU traffic, and hope that some country over there doesn't need fines from us badly enough to decide that article 484208408 makes us subject to it.

With regard to enforceability outside the EU, that is anyone's guess. If you're in the US, there are already mechanisms that allow for the domestication of EU judgments in the US. Once domesticated, the judgment would have the same force and effect as if it had been issued by a US judge. However, the treaties that allow this are very complex, and allow for a large number of exceptions. So it would be up to a US judge in each specific case to decide whether or not a judgment for a fine issued under the GDPR can be domesticated. There are currently no treaties specifically relating to GDPR in the US, and I'd imagine there would be (very welcome) strong opposition to such a thing.
Yeah, my impression is that this whole "smart, targeted ads" thing is actually just a lie, and that it's really more of a "spray and pray" kind of thing.

It's a bubble!
Since this question always comes up, I'll aggregate:

- Payment for order flow
- Interest on idle cash
- Robinhood Gold, a subscription model with side benefits, the most notable of which is...
- Margin lending

It's unclear whether Robinhood is profitable or has a road towards profitability since none of these are really unique in the retail brokerage space, but it certainly seems possible that these combined with a huge customer base and the right amount of frugality could allow for it.
I can't speak to "Ghost in the Wires", however a book that contemporaneous to "Takedown" that does a better job, I think, is "The Fugitive Game", by Johnathan Littman: https://www.amazon.com/Fugitive-Game-Online-Kevin-Mitnick/dp...

The more you think of it, the more it seems to be totally expected. It's the advertising industry we're talking about. They're not exactly a paragon of honesty. On the contrary, I suspect everyone tries to bullshit everyone else. The few observations I made from working next to people in marketing & advertising supports that viewpoint.

EDIT: reminds me of that one story about A/B testing, which pretty much directly told us how adtech companies are bullshitting their own customers.

This is technically true, however if the site is not targeting EU residents, the traffic is supposed to be considered incidental and the GDPR is not supposed to apply.
Why isn't Spec-ID/FIFO completely automatic by default? The fact such an immaterial determination can have such a financial impact is absurd, but isn't the obvious solution for brokers to automatically do FIFO or Spec-ID based on which is more profitable for their clients? As far as I can tell the greedy algorithm would be pretty straightforward and effective.

Just as an aside, I never understood why the Frank Burns character on MASH was so reviled. Yes he was a best an "only OK" doctor, but anyone who can hack that kind of combat surgery deserved a medal.

Too bad you have patients that go south just like the rest of us do.

There was also a political subtext. Burns' motivation was patriotism.

FWIW, recent releases of Tcl have built-in dicts (hash tables), which greatly improve over the old "associative arrays".

What I missed the most when doing Tcl was support for first class functions / closures.

JimTCL seems to adress many of the pain points, for example it adds closures garbage-collected OO. http://jim.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/www/www/index.html
It seems like it has gone through the roof in just the last three or four years. I believe the added tools & complexity is an overwhelming negative in nearly all instances, unless you're building at hyperscale (which very few are). I keep seeing things like dental groups spending a lot of money to rebuild their sites in React for absolutely no good reason, it's all a big joke.

I've been doing full stack development for two decades essentially non-stop, and I detest the new era of front end. I'm learning Go instead of anything more to do with front end. I put a bunch of time into Vue and React; the effect it has had, is to push me to banish those from what I build and pursue increased simplicity instead: JS minimalism.

I'm rather in love with Go. It's simple, small, very easy to pick up, and extremely fast. It actually reduced complexity and made speed & power more accessible rather than less, the exact opposite of what's going on in front end (which is adding complexity and bloat). I blame it on the dramatic speed-up in JavaScript, the front end junk will keep expanding in bloat perpetually until it fills in the speed gains. It reminds me of the joke, about Andy Grove providing the increased transistor counts and Bill Gates figuring out new ways to waste them.
> Let’s measure the “wealth” of an ISP by the aggregate wealth of its customer base

You can't measure the wealth of an ISP by the wealth of its customer base. ISP businesses are very different in each country. In one country there could be no ISP-hostile regulations, low barriers of entry, a lot of competition, cheap labor, resulting in like $5 ARPU in urban areas and low margins. In another country ISPs could manage to monopolize the market with regulations creating a lot of burden for smaller players, resulting in like $20 ARPU and very high margins. In some countries it is also possible for rent seekers that provide infrastructure for ISPs to suck all the revenue, still allowing competition and leaving them with big ARPUs but low margins.

I suspect the hunch in the title is right though. ISPs from the least competitive markets and therefore rich can afford and do deploy IPv6. While ISPs from the most competitive markets cannot afford bothering with IPv6 and since there is no demand for it yet at all, they don't deploy it. But if demand for IPv6 starts growing for some reason, ISPs from competitive markets will of course deploy it.

I agree this way is difficult to help you catch truly remote-first job, as requirement of sitting butt in an office contradicts it.

I recommend screening company with Glassdoor (WFH hints etc.) and at interview asking about communication/collaboration tools in use, remote teams etc.

Nowadays there is a large middle ground of companies which have globaly distributed offices. They may ask you to show up for some initial period to gain trust and mix into culture - definitely important for a long-term cooperation. Afterwards switching to remote is like relocating to different office but staying in the same project, which is pretty common practice. Tested myself several times.
The median stock in the S&P 500 has a negative return, too. Stock market returns are pretty much entirely generated by the right tail of the distribution - you have to make many bets to be ensured of getting enough winners to carry your investment.

> How is "my business model depends on it" not a bona fide legitimate purpose for information collection?

Business models are arbitrary and orthogonal to services provided.

> But you don't get to randomly outlaw certain entire classes of business.

Why not? Some business models are clearly antisocial and don't deserve to exist. GDPR is only outlawing business models based on large-scale abuse of people's private and identifying information. If you can obtain proper consent from enough percentage of your users, then your business model will be fine. If that's a problem for you, then ask yourself why.

I find it funny to see people complaining that their business model will be in trouble under GDPR. GDPR literally only outlaws being a huge asshole (in context of users' data).
> If his tech model turns out to be relatively successful, a medium-sized company in tech will be able to easily copy his model and out-compete him

GDPR will help the big guys not hurt. The smaller guys it will be tough implmenting and make it more expensive in terms of expense to revenues.
