Can't we have a system where the bigger the merger, the more compelling the arguments for it should be?

Like a $10M merger should have 1 strong argument in favor of the consumer, a $100M merger should have 2 strong arguments, and a $100B merger should have 5 strong arguments in favor of the consumer (and I'm being forgiving by using a logarithmic scale here).
I'd never heard of this procedure, just the approach of using a dental appliance to advance the jaw, with poor success rate (something like 20%). The only surgery I've seen widely referenced is turbinate reduction, which supposedly also has a < 50% success rate in treating OSA. I'm surprised I'd never heard of MMA since it apparently does have a very good success rate even without diluting the analysis with practically meaningless effect sizes (mean AHI reduction of 47.8 in a recent meta-analysis [1]).

I think that most disagreements will be resolvable via discussion in topic threads. The Topic Guidelines (https://grok.how/11) provide the criteria to judge.

For topics where the truth is a matter of opinion, the topic should probably just describe the different points of view, and qualify their use-cases and pros and cons, rather than arbitrarily picking one.

For the remainder, the side with the strongest references should win. I'll probably need to stratify the community a bit as Grok grows. Those with more influence should judge based on the site principles, similar to the US Supreme Court interpreting the law. I'm cautious to avoid fiefdoms, ulterior motives, and conflicts of interest.
Comcast does this in Walmart. The people Comcast hires are ultra-aggressive, obnoxious, crude individuals that actually follow you while shopping asking what you spend on service, what service you have, etc.

I flat out no longer shop in my local Walmart for this reason alone. Otherwise, I don't mind Walmart.
>>LaLiga does not access the audio fragments picked up by the device's microphone, as they are automatically converted into binary code on the device itself. LaLiga only accesses this binary code

Audio fragments are a "binary code", usually pulse code modulation samples. In this case, JorgeGT's link[1] shows that the app is reading PCM data with Android's AudioRecord API.

If they mean that they are hashing or otherwise obscuring the data (which probably can be reversed or correlated to other data in some situation), they need to say that. This statement could be interpreted that they "only access this binary [PCM samples]", not the "[raw, analog] audio fragments".

>>If this code matches a previous control code

Maybe this is a translation issue, but they seem to be conflating "codes" representing audio patterns with identification codes such as "your IP address and the specific ID assigned by the PPP when you register". The last part also admits they are "referring to your name" that you used when registering. They are simply using a synthetic key as a proxy. This is confirmed by this function in the code[2]:

public void linkUserIds(String fluroId, String adId)

that sends a GET request specifically for the purpose of linking their "fluroId" to what is presumably some type of ad tracker id.

I think it depends on the culture of the area. For places where people are basically law-abiding, that might happen. Where I live in Oakland, CA, there's not a chance. I get run over by cyclists on the sidewalk almost daily and the scooters is just making it worse.

Which isn't to say I want to regulate them more. It's just sort of pointless in a city where the populace doesn't follow the existing rules, and there's no political will for law enforcement to do anything about it.
D3 is fantastic, but it should be treated essentially the same as OpenGL. Sure you could roll something super simple and quick with just that. But you're insane to do anything large scale without a higher abstraction.

It is memory not CPU that is the main limitation. Under 20MB RAM you are entering a gray zone, where BEAM barely runs. You can keep removing modules from the standard library and optimising it fit into maybe 8MB RAM (as project GRISP did) but smaller than that BEAM VM would not even boot to shell.

Yes it is. Open source literally means that the source is public. I think you mean CC non-commercial is not "free software".
> Events don't share mutable state (at least implicitly), they carry a copy of data. This eliminates a huge class of thread-related errors.

I'm not sure that's true, at least not in my problem space. Copying data leaves you the possibility of operating on stale data, which will result in the computation returning the wrong answer. To avoid that, you have to let the event handler know somehow when the data has changed. How are you going to do that?

True for things likes movies and songs, but you can make sure that a "bitcoin" / UTXO is transferred. So, "things" on the blockchain you are interested in can be accounted for.

And that can be used in conjunction with a server-side process to give a client some benefit of server-side processing. e.g. Player A has sword "X" in their inventory.
SSL is terrific for things that need to be secured, but there are a lot of web sites out there -- an arguably increasing number given the rise in popularity of static site generators -- that derive absolutely no benefit from being served as HTTPS rather than plain HTTP. Not "modest" benefit, not even "negligible" benefit, but no benefit. I've built relatively large sites that are entirely archives. They have no logins. They have no forms. I am not sure why it's "incomprehensible" to you that I'm less than thrilled that Google has decided I'd damn well better make sure my publicly accessible, 100% static, entirely form-free web site is served only over SSL.

I'd describe Dave Winer as more of an iconoclast than a crank, from what I've seen. But his point is that an awful lot of the Web As It Exists is unsecured, particularly the older personal pages and sites that are still hanging on, and that if Google decides that Chrome will simply no longer browse to unsecured web sites -- or worse, that their search engine won't just deprioritize but will delist unsecured sites -- a lot of the web will be effectively lost.

I'm from Sydney, Australia. I am not remote, but I like the idea of grabbing a US salary ($150k a year = AU$200k a year, let assume AU$220-AU$240k contract rate with no benefits, then I can cover my superannuation too).

Compare that to a similar Sydney dev salary, for an experienced dev, AU$140k would be towards the high end. So a 50% salary increase AND work from home can be on the cards. All that is stopping me is that my current gig is giving me learning opportunities both technical and managerial that I might find hard to get in a remote job. But boy do I love working on code in a quiet room!

A good way to "beat the system" would be to live in Adelaide where the cost of an apartment near the city is about $300KAU ($225k USD). A 100% mortgage on an ocean view house, close to the city, for a family would be affordable on a US tech salary! I guess as long as you don't care about 'house as an investment' because demand is likely to be higher in the long term in the horrible overcrowded "big smoke" cities :-)

I've actually implemented NFS servers professionally (for my sins) and used various competitor implementations. It's possible with the mechanisms others have mentioned, but ultimately each vendor has its own specific ways to circumvent the "Kerberos is annoying and often not well configured at the client" issue[0]/allow various 'hacks' to be deployed, so if you're interested in a specific vendor's product (e.g. ONTAP) the best option is to look through their online manual for the specific CLI/Web GUI features, usually around root squashing and the like.

Ordered a few packs as novelty office Christmas gifts a few years ago. Used my own pack to repair a plastic shelf in my older refrigerator that had cracked where nothing else had succeeded.

Still holding up many years later. So I think fondly of Sugru every time I open my refrigerator. And when I do think of it, I can't help associate it in the back of my mind with Wallace and Grommit for vaguely ludicrous reasons.

I mildly regret never having occasion to make another order.

This already happens. Verizon injects tracking cookies into unencrypted requests [1]. Hotels inject advertising on top of the existing advertising [personal experience]. They will do it when I read your blog archive from 2001. They will inject arbitrary JavaScript that records my every keystroke and mouse movement [2]. State actors will use persistent surveillance of all unencrypted cookies to pierce firewalls and target individual engineers in charge of anything they happen to find useful [3]. They will do worse things as compute becomes cheaper and cheaper.

If your argument is that there are lots of HTTP sites that are historically important and also that are unmaintained and that will never be upgraded, okay. That is a solvable technical problem [4].

If you want to know why you have to force people to do it, it is because security is a public health issue [5]. It is the same reason you have to force people to get vaccinations.

I don't work for Google (in fact I work for a direct competitor), and I disagree with a lot of the things that they do or want to do (unsurprisingly). But having more security on the web is not one of them. We live in a very different world than we did 25-plus years ago.

If you use a CI system that deploys each build of your webapp, where it might be deployed at a random url (<domain>/build1/index.html vs. <domain>/build2/index.html), then you would make all the url's in your app relative urls, which are then basically prefixed by the base url specified in the document head once the actual requests get sent. You can then write a different base href onto the document for each build, and everything will magically work.

Also, if ever use relative urls for assets or requests, and you deploy to different URL's (or your deployed URL path's don't map 1:1 to your filesystem paths), it can come in handy.

Angular also uses this to determine where the client side routing begins - https://angular.io/guide/deployment#base-tag .
I agree that there are concerns. I just don't think any of my concerns ever start with a news article. Every time I read an article like this, and think "Oh no, a legitimate concern" it ends up being overblown.

If this layoff article ends up being a legitimate source of concern, it'll be the first time out of like hundreds of articles a month.

And yeah, I'm with you on the state of driving implementation. I think the criticism that calling it auto-pilot is misleading is a legitimate concern, for example. I would call it co-pilot until it's fully automated, and call it auto-pilot once you can take your hands off the wheel. That would be consistent with the naming-scheme they have chosen, wouldn't diminish brand value, and would be more accurate.

But again, it's just every time I read one of these articles, the comments are saturated with anti-Tesla hate that is either coming from Russia, Big Oil, or some day-traders trying to bring the stock down $10 so they can buy a turn a quick profit for the day.

I've ordered a 20ish pack every couple years since the Kickstarter and I always immediately put it all in the fridge. I usually have a few packets go over the expiration and I must agree, ~18 months is when it starts to dry out and become brittle and thus not work as effectively. Using a bit of water combined with lots of massaging helps but detailed work is no longer possible (like building replacement handles for little coffee cups).

I've been using FormCard as a replacement in a lot of places (lately custom-made "hangers" with screws to hold my router from the wall), since if I mess up or I want to recycle it, I can just drop it in boiling water to melt and start over. Although I must admit, Sugru feels much nicer and is a bit softer i.e. good for cushioning - FormCard solidifies after 3-5 minutes into hard, slippery plastic which e.g. doesn't work very well for coffee cup handles or drop-protection for sensitive equipment (phones, cameras, etc.).
