I reckon it´s not only money that they give value. Other intangibles might apply (as all family related issues).

I agree that engineers might also have something to say, but we don´t actually have a clue if some of them actually expressed they concerns for this change, unless you have some insight from inside the company that you may not be able to share.

Even if some of them left as you suggest, I´m pretty sure Google wouldn´t have any problem to find some other engineers that would happily implement anything without questions.

Nevertheless, I agree that concerns should be raised by everyone in the org, but the only ones that might lead to an actual change is stock holders/board of directors.

But in order for something to be salable, lots of people have to like it. If you are always on the leading edge you might be more in to research than business. There might even be grants available to help fund it. There are research laboratories that build things and then those inventions are used for entirety different purposes.

Yes, seems like it’s pretty much a technical restatement of how "signing into google"=="signing into chrome" works. It is interesting to see it in this light, however. It’s easier to justify through UI (“It’s just one Google service logging in to another”) than it is when you look at it in a technical or historical light, of what being a browser used to mean.

Is there anything google could do that could make you move away from their services? I can’t imagine that any further anti-privacy actions by google would justify the cost of having to having to switch away from google’s platforms.
iPhone XS Camera Review: Zanzibar
Neat article, for those looking to save a click:

"Urban areas in the UK cover around 16,000 square kilometres. If we distribute the rats evenly across the urban areas, which is clearly unlikely but necessary for the calculation, each rat has a rather spacious 5,000 square metres to roam around in.

Assuming you're standing at a given spot in an urban area you would be at most 164ft (50m) away."

The timestamps use linux' local_clock (which is per-cpu). It will also drift, even if you never suspend/resume.

The longer the uptime, the higher this discrepancy can be.

This means the timestamp is useless for many purposes.

You can check the current offset using:

echo test >> /dev/kmsg && uptime=$(cut -d' ' -f 1 /proc/uptime ) && timestamp=$(dmesg |tail -1| awk -F '[][]' {'print $2'}) && echo "$timestamp-$uptime" | bc

DDG before they started ignoring what you searched for.

edit: I'm getting downvoted, but it doesn't make it less true.

Without quoting, some terms (not stop words) get silently dropped (even Google tells you when they drop terms).

example: workbox wizard doesn't work

None of the results contain workbox anywhere.

And recently they started "optimizing" and correcting terms in quotes.

example: google "amp" modal

I quoted "amp" because otherwise it only searches for map. Yet most results are still for "map".

I really liked DDG, but they seem as intent as google in making their services worse for me, so I dropped them.

In lots of parts of the world, livestock farming is feasible in ways that arable farming isn't: sloping, rocky terrain and so on. It's not going to go away entirely.

"Artificial" livestock rearing where the animals are treated as boxes into which feed can be put that emits meat does achieve a higher capital intensity, but it's reliant on cheap imported feed.

This is the kind of thing that is very hard to solve by individual market action.

Not really, Google has pushed the "relevancy customization" to it's extreme limit and the conclusion of this process is search results that are often just garbage.

Not just in the filter bubble sense of keeping out any info that the targeted user might find unpleasant, but also in the sense that "we don't surface anything outside of very recent, very mainstream, large corporate sites" even when that's exactly what I don't want to sift through on a given search.

It's a real pain if you're trying to do research in a niche area or in an academic field that isn't hip and popular, if you're not in the 90% bracket of the distribution results for what people click on you just don't exist on Google anymore.

This phenomena is most obvious when you're searching for something that you know still exists on the web, you can remember it being a top result years ago, but has now been effectively eliminated from the results because it's not sitting on the domain of a large corporation. Bing will still surface these sites, at least for now.
Humans Contribute to Earth's Wobble, Scientists Say
This article could be written by a small scale vegetable farm as well. I could write something similar about the herb box on my window sill. Look how great my herb box is. I don’t even use pesticides.

But the question is how to reverse out of high impact industrial meat farming. That a tiny farm is having some success doesn’t move the needle. Veganism and buying from small farms works today on an individual basis, but how could you roll them out to an entire population. It’s also why demonizing veganism in the title is cheap clickbait.

The choices people make every day in the supermarket aren’t veganism vs buying from this person’s tiny farm. Seems tacky to compare the fringe groups while ignoring the elephant in the room. Especially when wresting the status quo would entail monumental cultural level transformation in any direction.
I've seen a few times the term "smarter" almost used synonymously with crueler or more negligent to society. Conversely, "stupidity" means those that do the footwork of following a market's consumer or worker protections.

"Better", for now, might be business that elevates worker and consumer rights while still making a profit (or being non-profit).

As you mentioned blockchain, it's vastly driven by speculation (including manipulation), marking it a sign, in my opinion, of a dire state of capitalism as Marx explained best. Real estate markets are in a similar cycle.

More humane and sustainable forms of animal agriculture would certainly be a step in the right direction from the horrors of the concentrated feeding operations that supply most of the world's meat supply right now. But those techniques were developed for a reason. There's no way to meet the current and rapidly growing demand for meat without completely setting aside the welfare of the animals and the environment. The idea that we can just return to the idyllic farms of hundreds of years ago and still feed steak to billions of people every day is a pipe dream.

The real solution is to reduce the global population but in the meantime switching to a vegan diet will dramatically lower your carbon footprint and help reduce the horrific suffering we inflict on animals every day because we like the way they taste. You might think you understand what it takes to put that bacon on your plate but chances are you have no idea:

There's also a growing body of evidence that a well-planned vegan diet is not only perfectly healthy but healthier than diets rich in animal fats & proteins.

I don't think that's universally true concerning software. I tried to do some research on the jurisdiction in the EU but got to no definitive conclusion.

However in case of reselling software the corresponding restriction is obviously seen as illegal (or non-binding) in the EU. On the other hand there are restrictions such as copying, running software X on Y computers etc that are valid and binding.
What you say is true, but that wasn’t the initial cause of it, according to Martin. As I understand it, Martin says that since there were no CS degrees until about 1970, the first “generation” of programmers were internal company transfers/promotions of existing employees into the programming department; therefore those people were disciplined and mature (both figuratively and literally).

But as soon as there were new fresh CS degree graduates, companies preferred to hire those since they were cheaper. This produced two effects: 1. The CS graduates were, for some reason or other, mostly young men, so the gender balance tanked. 2. The new CS graduates, fresh out of school, were neither disciplined nor mature, and so required a lot of micro-managing. Both these effects were made more or less permanent by the steady growth which you summarized, and the second of these two effects is the change which user MrTonyD lamented above.

Now, how did that coffee get to you? Whose hands touched it? Were they working in free and fair employment, or were they coerced into it?

If one where to simply list behavior and action from having a positive effect on the environment, neutral, or negative, it would not be that hard to see that general farming is on the negative side. It can be promoted as a better alternative to even worse things but to even cross the line into neutral one has to go elsewhere than just cutting out meat of ones diet.

A common thread in environment positive food is that it moves the environment towards a better balance and away from mono-organisms. Open fields with pasture raised livestock has this effect when used proportionally in countries where single-crop and forest has started to reduce the bio diversity, such as in Sweden. Fishing in overpopulated lakes helps so that less common species don't get out competed or eaten. Honey from bees has positive side effects that sugar canes do not. A bit less studied but possible areas is also seaweed or mussel farms since those filter water and can reduce eutrophication (through the health aspects makes this a difficult balance).

Veganism isn't the answer simply because that diet alone does not have a net positive effect on the environment, and the reduction compared to even worse diets isn't impactful enough. We have to start actually looking for actions that have a positive effect, rather than simply going from bad to slightly bad diet.

We use them for learning sometimes, but ultimately we don't have markings because we don't actually need them. It seems massively intimidating when you start learning (or contemplate learning), but the muscle memory of where to put your fingers, and the ear-finger feedback cycle to keep you in tune can develop very quickly.

It does require a good sense of relative pitch, which the student may need to develop first, but this is not unique to the violin. Singers and trombonists are obviously in need of a similar thing, as are theremin players, but slightly more surprisingly to those who don't play them are reed players, who have an incredible ability to play out of tune by simple adjustments of their lips around the reed, and recorder players, who can play horribly flat just by not blowing hard enough into the instrument (or too sharp, by blowing too hard).

Stickers on the fingerboard can help us when we don't already have the relative pitch sense, because you've got to learn it somehow and "go learn another instrument first" is not a very encouraging strategy!

There are actually products you can buy which are basically a sticker for the whole fingerboard laying out a fret pattern but without the physical attributes of frets, which would alter the sound of the instrument and reduce the ability to play slides, but I don't know anybody who's got one. It's not as big a deal as you might think before you start.

I say that as someone who, before taking up the violin, learned to play the viola da gamba in part because it has frets and this was far less scary (learning to use a bow was scary enough).

I still play both, and the playing technique on the viol is very definitely informed by the presence of the frets and their effect on the sound.
