The problem here is a lack of critical mass. IME, most people don't care about any of this. I recently tried to explain to my classmates why "free" apps are typically not free; they basically got mad @ me for doing so. And this, is generally factored into a business model by anyone slightly scrupulous.

So, and I've not done this myself (yet), the options are: lower your standards to those of the unwashed masses; or 2) become the service provider yourself (hopefully w/ a group of like-minded individuals).

Of course, #2 will be somewhat difficult because there's a lot behind-the-scenes non-technical stuff that goes into 1) forming and sustaining a company; and 2) bringing a thriving product to market.

That said, you could try to fork #2, and instead of bringing your solution to the broad market, roll fight-club style and hope that obscurity guarantees its security/functionality. This, truthfully, is probably the best and most feasible option for the avg. person/people. (Sadly)

Yep, a Prius running slowly on battery power is silent enough that people tend to just walk right in front of you since they can't hear it coming...but also makes it easy to sneak up on someone and hit them with the horn for some entertainment value, gotten quite a few friends (and jaywalkers) like that.

I was talking with a blind guy a while back about the beeping crosswalk things and he was saying he had to quit walking to the corner store because the intersection didn't beep and he almost got run over too many times since he had a hard time figuring out which direction he was able to walk by listening to the car noises alone which near silent cars would only exacerbate. Probably be easier to make all the crosswalks beep instead of forcing cars to make unnecessary noise pollution but until that time...

The arguments are directed past each other. Minimal selection breaks down when you ignore it and thereby allow known bugs to pile up. Maximal selection breaks down when you ignore it and thereby allow unknown, untracked dependencies to pile up.

The answer for both is that version updating should trigger CI activity and then be automatically applied when tested. Dependency tools should be as strictly dumb as possible.

This gap exists because dependency management tools blossomed and matured in a manual developer-at-a-keyboard context before the kind of automation that makes their clever bits less relevant or necessary.

Amen. In the days the catholic church ruled hard, yes, but since the 60s or so, we didn't have a problem with sexuality in western Europe.

Men with speedos or women with breasts out on the beach? Nobody cares, and not because we thought this is just some "connecting with nature" that has nothing to do with sexuality, but because we didn't have a problem with sexuality.

Or, e.g. some politician having an extra marital affair? Who cares. Mitterand had an illegitimate child and nobody batted an eye.

Sure, there are some prudish nuts calling for moral outrage (usually on the right or related to the church), but they held no big power in these here parts.

Lets take a look at your claim in details.

Indeed, batteries are not included in list of components that can be imported duty free to bonded customs zones, as they don't qualify for being "electronic components."

But the situation is the same for all bulk commodities that have to be locally sourced. That is dictated by the initial purpose of free customs zones: give concessions on high value components, but for whatever Chinese industry was good at manufacturing back in nineties, give none.

The companies wanting to make EVs, are completely free to establish companies outside of free customs zones if they don't want to pay double duty.
Unfortunately there has been a 25% import tax on trucks since the 1970's and only a 2.5% tax on import cars. Is it any wonder that somehow(marketing for decades) people have been convinced that only losers would drive a minivan (counted as a car).

If someone like Apple or another new company could make a one passenger car really cool looking and inexpensive (Say $5-10k), probably electric, small enough so a least two go into a regular parking space, and a way that those people can share spots, it might just take off. Imagine that when you went to the city, if you see an empty spot in your mini transport, you park. No spots? Well you can park with someone else with a mini (and share the price). Set this sharing up in software and let the cars automatically switch positions, if needed, and I think you could have a real winner. Maybe three or six could fit in one spot. Electric cars sucked and only really strange, low status, people drove them. Post Tesla, I would say that is not the case any more. Similar thing could work here.

I think it might be less an emphasis on speed and more about whether you are interested in making money (or at least the logic of making money), and therefore compare bets with alternative investments. Serious gamblers are at least going to compare with alternative bets, and being able to place more bets over a year with the same bankroll is an advantage if you have an edge.

More broadly, if you squint a bit, the stock market looks like a betting market that's subsidized by company profits. It would take quite a bit of subsidy to compete with that.

I suppose cryptocoin shows that people will bet in unsubsidized markets, if part of the bet is whether they will later be subsidized and to what level.

React is an in-browser component/templating/state management framework. Apples to oranges.

Furthermore, I don't see GitHub as a great application for an in-browser state management system. Rich state frameworks are great when you're making an system with a real load of state in the frontend. For example, a spreadsheet or a rich word processor or design layout application. For an application with little mutable user state in the frontend, all you do by using a full-on UI framework is add complexity and introduce a huge state-synchronization / distributed systems problem, as well as introduce the need for complex/hacky server-side rendering workarounds for users, snapshots, and search engines which don't have full runtime capability. Using React on your blog is almost certainly a mistake and using React for GitHub feels like it's right on the edge of being one as well.
>> None of the youth went topless.

Digital cameras. Young girls don't mind being topless in front of the people on the beach. They do mind being photographed and finding themselves in some online collection being shared across the planet. Coupled with the risk of facial recognition or other tagging schemes, they really don't want their identities/addresses being shared alongside semi-nude pictures. Cameras now have a much greater "creep potential" than film.

I would also suggest that a greater awareness of skin cancer means younger people generally cover up more, trickling down to lesser toplessness for both men and women.

question is more about personal media collection. but title and most answers (so far) are about actual personal knowledge
I would highly recommend the idea of "personal knowledge management" (PKM). I started being much more organized on this front starting last year and it is a gamechanger.

Personally I store raw thoughts and ideas in Keep, then transfer them daily or weekly to OneNote. Every so often I review the notes.

I have notes from anything important I've ever learned, ranging from technology stacks to economics to capital markets to psychology or personal well-being. I now never worry about losing thoughts or not seeing "the big picture" - it's a picture (note really) that I've saved over years now. And ever so gradually, I just build on that knowledge base, which I see as an extension of my own brain.

Edit: and if you don't use the cloud, _make sure you back up every few weeks_. It takes 5 minutes and you will really regret losing part of your brain if you break your laptop.
Super interesting, and definitely seems smart of SK to be that forward-thinking.

Has anyone really ever dug into what happened to Japan's economy (i.e. what caused the stagnation)? A cursory Google search returns a lot of well thought-out speculation, and I realize cause/effect is often difficult to establish with global economies, but curious if there's anything more rigorous out there.

The tone of this article makes it sound like it's a bad thing that Facebook and Google won't be much affected by this law, but I don't really think it is.

The reason the big players aren't much affected is that they've already had to make huge privacy changes in response to GDPR. They've already paid those costs.

A lot of what you see about privacy is uninformed fear mongering. This article is a good example: it seems to take it as a given that anything that doesn't substantially increase privacy protections is a bad thing, but no reasons are given, and the costs aren't weighed. In reality there's a balance to be had here and we need to be looking at both sides. I'm not saying there's nothing to fear, just that there's a real disconnect between what the media's afraid of and what we should actually fear, and there's a very real danger of legislative changes doing more harm than good.

GDPR actually provides some pretty substantial privacy guarantees and I think we should wait to see the effects of GDPR play out before we go fiddling with the system more.

Truth, but of interest is the part of "if they aren't noticing". I think that the (mostly positive) trend of using more data-driven decision making processes, has caused a lot more advertisers to (very slowly) realize that a lot of the advertising they were paying for wasn't doing anything. The decline in print advertising didn't happen in isolation: billboards, radio, TV, even youtube advertising has had declines recently. I think this is part of a generational change in the management of companies that pay for most of the advertising, where instead of going with a gut instinct about what works and what doesn't, they require evidence that it works, and often it doesn't. This would have killed a lot of the advertising income regardless of anything else.

As always, it is a trade-off.

Our joint use of the public streets is based on a certain trust that drivers will not try to plow into people. That doesn't mean you have to recklessly abandon all precaution, but it does mean that there are always going to be edge cases that are unmitigated. I think the vehicle based terror attacks have sadly illustrated that point.

Walking the streets in a defensive mode that assumes low speed sneaking up by a driver intent to kill, or being completely oblivious to the surrounding, while at the same time driving a vehicle with defects in its core functions feels like an edge-case. The near ubiquity of people walking or cycling with headphones, or fully being fully engaged with their mobile phones seems to support that.

Cars are dangerous and operated without proper care for sure, but there are very, very few injuries from ultra low speed collisions with cars.

On the other hand there is enormous evidence of serious stress caused by traffic noise having an impact on health.

The whole 'car noise' thing was lobbied by car-makers hoping to cash in on a 'custom ringtones for cars', modeled after the mobile phone market of the 90's. Do you believe that these random noises will avoid more deads and injuries than those created by the resulting stress and 'postal' incidents by those having to involuntarily suffer this?

There are better options. Have slow moving cars emit a low powered radio or radar signal instead. Very compact and extremely low cost detectors and emitters already exist for those. Those that wish get a proximity warning without harming innocents, and as a added bonus this also works for people with reduced hearing, either because the have a hearing problem, or because they are wearing headphones.

The only ones that would suffer a tiny bit are the car makers missing out on selling sounds. Can't say I'm very sympathetic to that crowd as they have amply shown a lack of responsibility and care for people's health and well-being . As usual, the benefits they want to pocket are once more blatantly oblivious to the societal downsides as they have been fully externalized for them.
I forgot to mention: you can also do cool stuff like link query objects together so that when you navigate in a parent query, the parameterized child query object is re-executed with the new parent query column values. This way you avoid N+1 queries by only executing queries when you actually need to see the rows for the child query object.
This is a crossover between bookmarks and content curation. Also looking for a good solution.

I kinda went the non-organized method of organization: dump it all into a google drive and just count on search to find things for you.

A lot of people think of GDrive as pure storage but unsurprisingly Google search within drive is pretty good at finding stuff. Although when you know it's there and search fails, it's frustrating as hell.
What, exactly, would any of this accomplish?

Again: Removing the card from the DB wouldn't be changing anything, it'd just be lying about how things are. The card does, in fact, exist. Collectors trying to get a complete set of Legends will try to get their hands on it whether or not Wizards lists it; lying about the card's existence doesn't change that. And banning it is incompatible with that! You can't list as banned a card you don't list at all.

But fundamentally, even if we ignore all that, de-listing or banning the card wouldn't accomplish anything. (This is not a card that actually sees tournament play; a ban would be purely symbolic, in addition to setting the bad precedent that cards can be banned for non-gameplay reasons.) Apologizing and acknowledging the mistake is good, obviously, but they clearly have done that when asked about it. I think Mark Rosewater took the right approach above: They can avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, but they can't undo them.
What I mean is that 'one person can understand the whole system' doesn't mean that everybody has to understand it in the same way. It can be understood using different abstractions.
