> Not collecting taxes on something that might otherwise be taxed is not the same as someone taking your money via taxes and using it to pay for something. What does it cost you if the government doesn't tax your local church?

Debt increases -> interest payments increase -> interest is paid at public expense from the general pool of taxpayers.

I know this sort of causal relationship isn't immediately obvious but it is there as it squeezes services for everyone else if you don't raise taxes to cover the difference.

Ah yes, its always people living aboce their means isnt it.. How simplistic. 2 mins googling and you can see what you say is BS.

Interesting. My myopia worsened a bit from ages 22-27 or so. Does that mean my skull and muscles were changing still?
As an American, I'm glad I'm not the only one :)

That said, I thought that car theft was all but gone in the US, at least for modern cars, whereas in Europe it still seems common. (Eg, if you follow international forums for newer car models, nobody in the US talks about theft anymore, but our European counterparts talk about these highly complex theft schemes). But then someone was posting about theft in Sacramento, so, I don't know.
That's not the interesting question. How easy is it to verify that the APKs are built from the published source code, without any added funny business?

The F-Droid devs put a lot of work on reproducible builds. Not all software complies, but with an interest in information security there's no exucse not to.

That's the use case of F-Droid, and comparing it to self publishing APKs without even as much as a GPG signature is so beside the point it borders on deceptive.
Some of the less reputable and saltier ad networks intermittently run a malware service that does a DoS on clients running blockers. 'uBlock Origin Extra' is a standalone tool by the same guy that works for me against it.
Well you can host your own website on your own server.

Of course, I do wonder how far this goes. What happens if the DNS server refuses to host the IP lookup? Host your own DNS server? What if the browsers refuse to allow access to the site? Build your own browser? What if ISPs refuse to transfer the data over the wire? Make your own internet?

People have defended that this vs. Net Neutrality (at least the extent of the ability of an ISP to control what goes over its wires) as having a core difference, but it feels to me they are closer than people realize and the standards set by one can influence the other.
people feign disgust at these articles but we're all complicit and understanding that this is way things are

Speak for yourself. As a manager, I've shut down far, far more innocuous things than described in the article. And now that I'm old and cranky, I'll call out those above me just as easily.

The problem is that I don't work at Riot, and likely never will, so I can hardly be accused of "knowing it's all true" nor of being complicit. I've briefly consulted at shops full of "bros", and usually ski-daddled right out (I mean, yeesh, do you never tire of being eternally 13 years old?). If they were over there calling each other "cocksuckers", I must not have stuck around long enough to find out.

So you're right about one thing: nothing will change, because decent people won't work at those places. Unfortunately, while all the decent human beings work elsewhere, some wide-eyed woman shows up once in a while.

Yeah but it's kind of bad feel of slight deception to it, no?

The whole story thing, I think it's sometimes a bit of a excessive Western thing, that yes it works, that may at some point become even boring to listen to,

Yet another cooked story. Rags2riches and what not. The garage (but son of a lawyer or a banker) the rise to fame and glory (from the garage right) blabla.

It is damaging but it's too contextual and subtle to see in a civilization hat still currently likes to cut off a lot of context. Even a lot of such stories are possible only due to big de-contextualization culture wise, which forces everyone into this deception game. Which on top brings money, but must have negative effects which are very hard to grasp/see.

I don't know. This is too deep and "you" are not supposed to talk about how it works in public.. don't ask don't tell.. sneaky operators.

My best LPT: remove every object (and block every site) that reminds you of the relationship.

The author is trying to achieve an outcome in a patient, not enforce the adherence to some objective truth like "my ex is all right" or "I really did love them and now I don't".

He's trying to find ways to get someone to end a pathological obsession. If a little demonization helps a person get their mind back on track, so much the better.
Our bike lockers are relatively underutilized, due to the unfortunate suburban location of our office. I used to bike commute and had to park next to my desk; we moved to a big fancy office with all of the perks, but it's a horrible miserable bike slog.
> We might accept, on an intellectual level, that by focusing on our ex’s faults we’re doing something important but it can still feel wrong (unpleasant), unbalanced, unfair, and even disloyal.

Of course it "can" feel unbalanced because it is.

The author's suggestion that recognizing in a heartbreak state we already have an imbalanced focus kindof mitigates the problem... but I can't help suspect there's more to it. People who are in a relationship and don't choose to end it usually are there because they understand at some level the tradeoffs between the imperfection of the relationship (or any relationship) and the great parts of it, and it's a net positive. So, unless you were thinking of ending it yourself, when it ends, it's a net loss, and trying to talk yourself out of that is, fundamentally, a trick.

If you've practiced trying to be internally honest when it comes to relationships, part of your brain is going to know you're playing sour grapes and that seems likely to undermine the effort.

And if you haven't trained yourself to watch for when/how focusing on someone else's faults is something you might not do honestly, good luck with conflict in a relationship. :/

I would argue that a piece of paper showing that someone attended school and graduated and is licensed to be an ER nurse carries much more weight than a piece of paper showing that I'm allegedly qualified to be a software engineer.

I know it's totally anecdotal, but we've all heard horror stories about candidates who couldn't write a for loop; some of us have witnessed these things first hand. And yes, phone screens should be filtering out those sorts of candidates long before they start sweating with a dry-erase marker in their hand, but, well.

How likely is an applicant for a nursing job to flat out not know how to stitch up a wound, or to take a patient's pulse and temperature?
At a basic level, the key is just a number, so there's no fundamental reason why it can't be duplicated.

However, other responses seem to be leaving out a discussion of why one would want to make identical keys in the first place. If you had identical keys, losing one would mean you'd need to revoke permissions of all copies. If the keys are instead unique, then only the lost key needs to be revoked.

Copying keys would also imply that the secret information needs to pass between devices, which adds some combination of risk and complexity. If the key doesn't need to support copying, then the secret information could be generated inside, and never leave, the key.

It seems better if the permissions granted to unique keys are easy to replicate, rather than the keys themselves.
I understand where you're coming from but they don't have feature parity. Flux allows me to target much lower color temperatures than MacOS' built in "Night Shift" feature. That alone makes Flux worthwhile.
>Don't spend money before you have it.

That’s what the employee equity is in the first place...a way for the startup to spend money it doesn’t have to get the employee. The employee, in theory or at least tech anyway, is sacrificing a better salary at an established (likely public) company to join the startup in exchange for that small chance they make it up with the equity on the backside.

Although everyone loves to pretend the US is a Captialist system...it’s not, it’s debt driven. The entire Country is premised on spending money it doesn’t have in hopes the can turn profit before it all crashes, and that is reflected in every single high-growth tech startup seeking to IPO.

Want the employees to hold on longer for benefit of investors...change the whole system and reverse the tax rates of wages and capital gains. Why should the hard working employee pay 40% of their wage to Uncle Sam while the investor who sits on their ass pays 10% so long as they can hold on for a year?
I'm also curious about what might change.

Textbooks are obviously open to the same digitization and free-access issues as other media, but their sales model fundamentally different because it's one giant principal-agent problem.

In public schools, digitization won't touch textbook profits any time soon because they're bought in bulk, and because multi-year use keeps costs reasonable. Giving out digital copies isn't a major edge if you can get 5-10 years out of a book. As for college students, there's just very little incentive to care about costs. Example: for many of my classes, buying and reselling textbooks, renting them, and getting digital-only access mysteriously converged on the same price - just like you'd predict in a market with no real competition. So the only real question is whether sellers can control piracy or other covert cost reductions like buying international versions and older editions.

So far, they seem to be doing pretty well at it. Altering problems in foreign and new additions doesn't stop everyone, but it deters many students. Mandatory online courseware with in-book CD keys is a masterstroke, since it not only kills piracy but forces students to buy $100 books they might have forgone altogether - no more using library copies if you're hard up for money!

I've only seen two hints of change. One is outreach to agents (i.e. professors) on quality; there are now mix-and-match services that will sell combined chapters from a variety of books, which might someday drive more competition among writers and professor awareness of book choice. The second is the existence of student rebellion in specific majors (i.e. Computer Science) where students are very likely to have digital, pirated, or nonexistent textbooks, to the point where things like "open book exams" are considered outrageous.
> Whiteboard interviews test one thing well: How well does a candidate code on a whiteboard.

What if you consider part of someone's job to be communicating concepts to people, possibly with the help of visual aids and diagrams?

I hate this concept that if it's not typing code into an editor then it's not "real work".

I absolutely communicate with my coworkers using a whiteboard and pseudocode. I reject the idea that being put on the spot is necessarily "artificial". To the contrary, I think that the number of engineering jobs where you can assume you'll never be put on the spot or have to communicate complex ideas verbally or visually is relatively low.

Now if this particular skill isn't interesting to an employer and they'd rather spend the time talking about some other candidate capability, that's a whole different story.

I've worked at quite a lot of companies. Many of us will, occasionally, grab a room / whiteboard to go over something but 99% of the time it's a sort of flow or UX type thing.

I've _never_ seen someone, or have asked to participate in, some sort of whiteboard coding thing. Even with pseudo code. That just doesn't seem helpful to me, at all.
I don't know anything about that, but if it’s not coordinated behavior then why would it run afoul of a detector? Maybe Muskies are just way more easily angered than everyone else, so their actions coordinate, but they’re doing it spontaneously?

I could be wrong, I just doubt that this adds up to more than the moderators being overworked and overwhelmed.

I posit that "one's own selfish interests", which can include pursuing a research topic for the "general good", is a major driver of scientific inquiry.

The evaluation of whether "general good" is advanced when answering a scientific question is subjective. Might I remind you that our foundations of probability - a pillar of mathematics and more - was furthered with the intention of winning gambling games? Or that our understanding of the limits of human physiology - how much force a skull can withstand, time before death under hypothermia - was furthered by Nazi scientists at the expense of Jews and other minorities?

While born out of sin, these two examples of science unequivocally better the "general good" - now...

Not like this is new; I'm in my 50s and since I was in my 20s there were people who wouldn't work for one company or another because of the products, working environment etc. Sites like Glassdoor exist because people care about working conditions (whether GD can be gamed is a different matter).
My most recent interview involved a coding assignment, which I topically don't do, but this one was a very interesting challenge that would make a good blog post afterwards so I did it. What was surprising is the interview not only included going over my code from the assignment, but also whiteboard problems about recursion. I've still never used recursion in my day job. Can interviewers really not gauge technical ability from my GitHub as well as chatting about problems and solutions?
Too lazy to actually look it up but I think that MS are getting ahead of the lawsuit from Europe. Europe will fine you X dollars for every second / minute / hour or something that a bad post is left online. So even if GAB does not comply with EU regs then Azure surely will and EU will go after the weakest link. MS knows this, and they don't care about GAB or Free Speech or whatever so they're going to shut them down if they don't comply.

IMO Europes rules are designed this way on purpose, they are sort of exporting their rules, and eventually if that's allowed to continue the internet will devolve to the lowest common denominator. Whomever has the biggest most enforceable fines rules the internet.
