You mean eating only plants is not in our nature and it might be harmful for us? That should be relatively easy to validate by observing a lot of long time vegans.

Eating soy beans is not in the nature of cows or fish but we smart cookies make them eat it in our animal factories anyway because it is convenient and cheap. To make that work, we have to give them lots of nasty stuff that we know is harmful to both them and us. But us pretending to not be herbivores on behalf of cows is fine somehow I guess.
I think Youtube already filters that content.

There are very few videos with age restriction and most of them have to do with sexually suggestive content, which doesn't make much sense because teenagers (at least male teens) consume porn anyways.

What kind of unrestricted videos are inappropiate for teens?
> Snapchat is for trading nudes, and general subterfuge, such as spreading rumors about eachother, with selectively memory-holed messaging.

This is what Snapchat is used for from the point of view of a 57 year old Daily Telegraph columnist. In actuality, Snapchat is used for - well - a massive variety of things. It's not a great platform, but it's pretty good for freely talking about things with close friends, in a way that most would be reticent to do in a chat with logs stretching back years.
Huh?

The question wasn't about how to filter to teenagers, was it?

The question was about what people might want to filter to teenagers.
Agreed. In security, time works against mitigations. If you want data to be gone, just deleting keys is a bit short sighted.
[edit: 200 vists stat is for UK only. Ignore everything I said here. ]

For scale, Amazon had 566,000 employees at the end of 2017. With 200 trips per year, that’s about one trip per 2,800 employees.

For comparison, US ambulances made about 16.2 million trips in 2003 on a population of 290 million, or one trip per 17.9 people.

If we assume that employees spend 1/4 of their week at work, then while working at Amazon you are 39.5 times less likely to need an ambulance than an average American.

;)
Yep, exactly. An SLR only needs a burst of power at the moment a photo is taken (and just before, to power the AF and exposure meter), while a mirrorless camera must keep the sensor and display/EVF powered continuously.
Which I doubt is a problem for Cloudflare or Quad9. Anyway, a TCP based DNS service needs to consider those things. Otherwise it is becoming unusable due to very high response times.

A standard 8 GB system with Debian 9 gives me 1048576 max file descriptors. I am sure this can be optimized still.
Nowadays, people manually emulate circles using multiple accounts--a rinsta [0] for the curated public circle, and a finsta [1] for close friends to post personal experiences and funny photos. Some people I know have multiple finstas with varying levels of specificity.

> pay for exactly what you use

Is that a pragmatic consideration, though, or just a conceptual one?

My main concern is with the word "exactly", since cloud providers can charge a remarkable markup, which means that, though one is paying proportional to ones use, but that's not necessarily desirable, if the alternative is, for example, to pay less-than-proportionally (e.g. via an economy of scale).

Is the FaaS markup significantly lower? Higher? Do the decision makers even care?

I'm somewhat familiar with the possibility of reducing costs at IaaS providers like AWS with things like dedicated instances and the marketplace. Is that available with FaaS? Does that not matter because it, essentially, removes the benefit of minimal support?
How I Used Upcall to Generate $6k with a $450 Budget (In One Day)
Great critical analysis. Generally, I avoid Vox articles due to the unsubtle feminist ideologies that are interwoven in their articles. Saw a recent cringe Vox interview with Jordan Peterson that kept trying put words in his mouth and avoided the issues he brought up as usual. Personally, I see the writing on the wall for America and am doing everything I can to move out of here in the next 4 years. As a young American cis gendered man in his 30's, I see no future for myself outside of being someone's mortgage hound or alimony sugar daddy. I can have a higher quality of life and and my SMV will be higher in most developing countries. I wonder if we will start seeing a massive exodus from America by professional Gen X/ millennials.

I find this inline with my own positive vs negative views of microsoft over time.

I spent a good part of my early career in the 90s building products on windows and both fearing and admiring microsoft - but mostly fearing and hedging my skills on linux.

In the 00's microsoft seemed almost like a non-player and their products mostly legacy.

But since windows 10 and my recent experience building on Azure I've been pleasantly surprised and find my view of them back on the positive side.

I'm particularly impressed with Azure -- a few years ago I wouldn't have thought they could have created a competent alternative to AWS ..and here they are.
I'm curious, how to vegans like you square away the idea that it's horrible for humans to eat animals vs it's okay for other animals (like lions) to eat animals?

Genuinely curious since I understand you points but it doesn't seem possible to apply that philosophy universally (and I see that as a sign of an incorrect philosophy)

To be clear, there are three different arguments in favor of eating less meat:

1. Personal health

2. Environmental benefits

3. Moral requirement

I'm only asking about the moral argument since that what you focused on in your post
I think teens nowadays are much more guarded (given how long social networks have been around now). They've grown up with the knowledge of how social media, when misused, can come back to haunt them. Most of my nephews and nieces have multiple throwaway accounts -- some of which they share with their parents and other accounts that they use as their main one.

Decreased FB usage is likely a reflection that they're wary of how FB utilizes their data, and realizing it's better to be choosy where they post info about themselves.

SemVer already solves that problem.
Killing yourself reduces your impact on the Earth by 100% - that doesn't mean it is a productive thing to do. Individual action isn't going to fix this. Each person's contribution is too small. Systemic change is the only way to address this.

Modern industrialized agriculture has a lot of issues. Other methods of agriculture can have net-negative emissions: grow all of your feedstock onsite and use waste products to produce more feedstock. If all the carbon you emit was previously captured onsite, you're only 'borrowing' carbon, not really producing it. Slightly net-negative carbon as soil is built as a byproduct.
See Joel Salatin for further reading.

I think writing articles about how "You, individual, can do something to save the Earth" is ineffective moralizing not unlike Facebook posts asking to "Share this if you want to end human trafficking!" - the only tangible effect is self-promotion of the author and inflating the self-esteem of the readers who go along with it.
This is a fundamental problem with the single DRM-enforced app store model that Apple innovated, and which has been widely copied and lauded.

Once you implement that, you have to toady up to whatever governments exist, including oppressive/murderous regimes, to be in their markets.

If your ecosystem is just console video games, say, it's not that big of a deal; you have to either censor some games or don't enter certain countries at all. Might be unfortunate, but its not a fundamental human rights issue.

But if your ecosystem is about general-purpose apps and communication tools, you become complicit to some degree in all sorts of vile shit; oppression and forced relocation of minorities (China), mass murder of gay people (Russia), etc.

There's no way around this for Apple; they have to cave to government demands or risk being forced out of the Russian market. That wasn't inevitable, though; it's a side effect of the model they chose.
I assume you're trying to make the point that they are well-intentioned when they decide to saddle the company with debt because it's part of a turnaround effort. Empirically, that is not categorically true.
Gee, I guess they were right to try to shove it down our throats then. It was we who were wrong.
For a lot of problems, more data is the only solution.
Going past the whole "X is better than Y".

Isn't it just a symptom that the next generation doesn't want the same thing as their parents?

e.g. I don't want to live in my childhood home, I don't want to wear my dad's clothes and I don't want to drive his car.

So every largely successful social media platform is doomed to only be `the one` for 1 generation?

Opinion: Trade sanctions against America won’t work. Sanctioning Trump himself might.

https://www.macleans.ca/opinion/trade-sanctions-against-amer...
This basically. I think they should've considered pushing harder on friend list groups and making it the default way to go, blending it into the UI and privacy options.

The functionality is there, just nobody really uses it.

I don't use Facebook because it's a collection of everyone I know, rather than a niche group of people I want to share particular ideas about particular topics with. You can create friends lists and open up particular albums and privacy settings only to them, but it's optional, not embedded into how you ought to use FB.

I didn't want my parents, ex or colleagues to see pictures of me and my girlfriend at the beach, which are for my friends. Or tag a friend in a meme about hating work when I've got colleagues in my profile.

At the same time, I don't want to think of these issues nor do I want to make lists to curate my content, particularly because some user groups overlap.

Instagram feels much more private even though it isn't always. You still get people in your friends list outside your close circle. But the difference is that they're usually your (age) peers and somewhat cluster around your 'lifestyle'. Facebook isn't like that, most people have everyone and anyone and I respond to that by zero-posting because I don't feel like thinking about everyone who sees this.

It's made worse to know that people (like me) lurk and that FB alerts everyone the moment I've said anything in a while.

When you have the income to:

1. Rent a comfortable apartment pretty much anywhere in the Bay Area, without fear of rising rent displacing you. (Keep rent within a third of your income)

2. Pay for a private solution (Rideshare, Private commuter buses, tech company shuttle) to the broken transportation infrastructure, dirty streets, and the homeless problem of the Bay.

3. Have a fiscal safety net in case something happens to your income.

4. Have the insurance needed to withstand the occasional curve-balls of life.

then you've mostly averted the endemic problems of the Bay Area. SF's gov't is incompetent, and private solutions have alleviated most of its systemic issues for its moneyed classes. Of course people in tech won't be as motivated to vote, they're insulated from all of the problems.

There's a growing sentiment (growing being an understatement, Google/Apple buses have been smashed/blocked for years now) that tech's private market solutions are priced to only help their own out. Until this perception changes, they're going to want to vote with their rage.
"There is no such thing in America as an independent press. I am paid for keeping honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. If I should allow honest opinions to be printed in one issue of my paper, before twenty-four hours my occupation, like Othello's, would be gone. The business of a New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the foot of Mammon, and to sell his country and his race for his daily bread. We are the tools or vassals of the rich men behind the scenes. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, are all the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

This is similar to how people raising money on crowdfunding sites decide to change/improve the product after beating their targets. This also results in failure usually because they don't deliver the original product and don't really know what they are doing except trying to spend the money they have raised.
They do account for that. Normally, they assume you are a person with average desires. The more complicated cost of living calculators will let you enter in your actual expenses to produce a personalized adjustment.

If you aren't weird, the cost of living calculators work fine.

I mentioned in another comment that I have a coworker who moved from San Francisco. He now has an 11-acre lot with sheep, goats, and chickens. He can shoot an AR-15 in his yard. OK, he's weird. Imagine the cost of living for him in San Francisco. Step 1 is to find 5 acres. Step 2 is to lobby the state legislature...? Even if we downgrade to a California-compliant gun, that 11 acres seems likely to cost roughly $366,666,666.

Wow. For him, it looks like San Francisco is nearly 1000 times more expensive. Thousands turn into millions.

He does commute a half hour. Perhaps there is a city a half hour away from San Francisco where he could get his kind of home for "only" a hundred million dollars.
My first Mac was a broken Mac Plus that my dad gave me when I was 8 years old. He said that if I fixed it, I could keep it!

I also have a box of iBook G3 parts, including AirPort cards. Right now they're in the grenier of my parents' house, and I'm starting to admit that I won't get a chance to use them often. I'm sure there's value in it all, but I'd just prefer that they go to someone who truly values the machines.

Amazon needs to get a handle on its counterfeit problem
To take an obvious example, I'm sure his friends thought he was a swell guy, but I don't think we need to revisit Hitler's ideas about the Jews. I don't think we need to give much serious thought to theories about moon landing hoaxes or theories about how the Earth is flat either, no matter how nice the people promulgating them may be. We are only given so much time on this Earth; I can think of better ways to spend it than seriously engaging with obvious claptrap.

Very good news
You give kids way too much credit. If all their friends were on Facebook, they’d be on Facebook.

Facebook failed to market effectively to up and coming teenagers, and as a result they have grown up into people who have chosen alternative networks that looked fun and cool, not boring and corporate blue.

No one gives a shit about data.
Well, that is patently horrifying.

The last thing I want to think about is having a computer second guessing about what my "pedal to floor" means.

The fact the software has enough leeway in function to make a 20 foot difference via software update is bad enough, that apparently everyone else is at least DOING the testing before vehicle release is reassuring though.

I'm honestly beginning to wonder whether modern society can afford trade secrets? Or does it work just fine, but the Silicon Valley "hit em' young" syndrome is limiting Tesla's exposure to fundamental practices that an older automotive industry have long since internalized and standardized. I'm less and less comfortable with how knowledge is seemingly silo'd so effectively between companies.

"Competitive advantage" shouldn't have body count as a viable metric.
To be fair, RS-422 is way better for this use case. The signals are differential pairs.

And at the time, serial didn't automatically imply RS-232. RS-422 was a totally valid choice, and typically the technically better option.
That's a weak analogy, since the vast majority of products that are called "wireless" really are substituting, with radio (or optical), for products that would otherwise use wires.

That's one very black page in history.
Not quite.

When 2 nations are each protective, it's bad for both.

If they are both open, it's generally good for both.

But - if one protects in a sneaky way, and the other is open - the it's amazing for the protectionist country.

So nations strive to be 'open' but then to sneak in stuff, or rather, sometimes they are open, but really are not.

It's impossible for American companies to sell into Japan for many reasons, arguably quality, but the way Japanese business syndicates work, they'll keep America out, irrespective of what the government says.

This was a huge thing in the 1980's and is the 'memory' that gripes Trump.

As for China - we don't have open trade with them.

America is considerably more open than China.

+ China has massive state-owned agencies, the subsidized markets

+ They have a 100% politically controlled currency

+ They have political capital controls

+ They require foreign entities to hand over key IP

+ They have any number of barriers (some on purpose, some not so much) to foreign participation.

+ China does not pursue those breaking IP rules.

China has had these advantages for some time, it's just that when they were poor, nobody really cared, but as they get powerful, it becomes an issue.

So the only choice is to play 'hardball' with such nations - because these nations won't react to anything else, and they'll only react to threats that are credible.

As for Europe, it's a different bag, but America has some decent beefs with Germany in particular.

As for NAFTA - that's a tough one. I don't think America has such a huge advantage, but wages are weaker in Cana/Mex which gives big opportunities in some ways ... but it also keeps Can/Mex standard of living lower in many ways. So the NAFTA gripe is more difficult to understand.

Put another way - the US has been having a 'trade war' with China for 30 years, it just wasn't ever a big deal.

And there are some issues (cars) that America has a reasonable beef with on Germany, for example.

I think Trump is a douche but he's not 'all wrong' on these things.

> I "assume execution efficiency to be"?

You assume that modern high performance processors execute instructions. They do not, they analyze, optimize and emit their an internal instruction stream and then execute that. That extra step is what makes fiddly UB type 'optimizations' worthless. And since you don't know what processor is going to execute the code and how it's optimized, the speed gains are basically 'noise'

> Besides, those tiny microprocessors typically don't run the "business apps" which bokglobule was talking about.

"Business apps" is usually network and io bound more than anything.

> Not true for most software.

Dan Bernstein says you're wrong.

> Cryptography kernels are written in assembly to ensure that they have a constant execution time to prevent timing attacks. Not so much for performance.

Dan Bernstein says you're wrong here too. Performance is everything with encryption. Consider video streaming over and encrypted connection. Yeah that.
Youtube fulfills the desire to broadcast your life in a way Facebook really can't. I think the subscribers vs friends distinction is important here. Twitter followers work the same way. I don't get excited about random people adding me on Facebook, but if a bunch of people follow me on Twitter or subscribe to my channel, it's a different story.

And Instagram + Snapchat are more about looking at what your friends are up to, and offer way more intimate experiences than Facebook. I have never seen a link to a news website or political ad on either platform, but Facebook is littered with them, and it crowds out the content I want to see: pictures of my friends doing cool stuff. If I want astroturfing and news, I go to reddit and HN :P

So Facebook occupies the awkward middle ground, and most people I know use it to collect acquaintances and to exchange Instagram/Snapchat handles.
