I'd again generally agree, but with some variations on similar ideas. Here for instance instead of trying to tax sugary beverages, I think positive motivators tend to work much better. Imagine a sliding incentive scale on caloric content for non-water drinks that do not contain artificial sweeteners. Anything with fewer than perhaps 100 calories liter of liquid would receive a 40% tax deduction. Anything with less than 50 calories per liter of liquid would receive a 60% tax deduction, and anything with fewer than 5 calories per liter would receive an 80% tax deduction. This would not only encourage more competition from new companies, but even incentivize current companies to diversify (and advertise!) their healthier options.

By contrast a small tax is mostly just going to be passed onto consumers (and then some, as is often the case) who are already making financially and 'healthfully' dubious decisions. This is also analogous to the situation with the EU trying to force Netflix to have 30% of their catalog in each region come from region-sourced material. Instead of this, which is going to result in the bare minimum adherence, imagine if they instead granted Netflix a sliding tax reduction dependent on what percent of their revenue was generated from local region-sourced material. Now they suddenly have a major incentive for that material to succeed. Make people want to do good, and they will.

I'm not so hot on external cost calculations. There are two reasons for this. The first is that if you're going to factor in external costs to something, should you not also factor in external benefits to something? Pollutants have a substantial external cost associated with them. At the same time those very pollutants are arguably the single biggest factor in why we are today a 'modern' society. How much ongoing revenue and productivity can be directly attributed to these very pollutants? The second is because it's difficult to objectively measure external costs. Imagine all of the things that you can show some paper or another (and at times the consensus) attributing directly to video games. The cost could almost certainly be shown to be in the trillions of dollars.

I completely agree about trying to increase equality of opportunity, but at the same time I think we're already much closer to that plateau of sharply diminishing returns than our current state of inequality would suggest. I mean in all reality you can go from poverty to not-poverty with little more than doing well in school and choosing a productive major. Bill Clinton became one of the most powerful men in politics and came from what could only be described as white trash beginnings. Obama, a half black middle class man with a Kenyan father who lived in Hawaii, would do the same. I used to always think that a true sign of equality of opportunity would be most of everybody doing well. Spending a while in the workforce destroyed that idealism. On top of making completely illogical decisions, many people just don't seem to have have any ambition or direction whatsoever, and I do not think can be attributed as an effect of the system of work itself.
The BOM is only part of the value in a product.

Apple, notably, recognizes and is consistent in asking for all the value they associate with a product.

Good for them. Seriously.

I love those, "Why can't someone make X, but cheaper, but also like Apple?" type conversations.

To answer it, one rapidly arrives at more than the product and it's immediate scope of software and hardware. There is more than that involved.

And it's worth something.

Worth what Apple asks?

Plenty of people pay. I have not, only buying a 2012 MBP. Great machine, love it, and I love it for a lot of reasons not associated with all the other Apple stuff. Because of that, I consider the machine pricey for what I got, but that's me, not Apple.

One other thing about all of this centers on just who Apple is selling to:

Often, they are selling to people willing to pay for value, not just product specs, or fairly narrow scope functionality. Android, for example, offers a TON of functionality compared to an iPhone. But, that value proposition is well distributed and lightly controlled.

It's hard to get margin for that, particularly when so many entities are involved, all seeking something for whatever value they provide, from whomever sees it as worthy.

ADS lubricate that whole system, and I would argue for the good. I like Android a lot, have my issues with information and how it's used, but overall, I'm not burdened so much that the value is in the red.

Apple does not do that, and instead offers a more structured, curated environment. Again, to many people, that is worth a lot of money. Information sensitive? Worth even more money!

Just a couple examples that speak to how non-inclusive pieces like this are.

BOM compare isn't even close to the story, and it won't ever explain the margins, nor why people do what they do either.

Love Apple, hate Apple. It's all good. I kind of hate Apple more than I love them, but again that's me! I totally recognize their value play, and commend them for it.
I'd still ask to consider a Firefox first policy.

I've been using Firefox as my main dev browser for years and it has a huge, practical advantage:

- Usually it Just Works in every mainstream browser (had one single case in the last year where it broke in another browser).

My colleagues who use Chrome has to fix QA bugs more often than me it seems ;-)

Bonus: Support a good cause (cross browser compability)
Focus is only if Nurnberg principle IV can apply to corporation/employee (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_principles):

"The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him."

Nobody tries to pull Nazis in any other context except you.

Relation to "normal things" is that in '30 Germany process of making genocide a "normal thing" happened.

This similar as with Google under process of changing their ways from "do no evil" to privacy consuming profit first corporation. It doesn't happening overnight - and is using similar mechanisms.

I don't see any argument from you that would invalidate claim that those two situations are similar.
JavaOS was DOA and end-of-lifed in 1999. Superseded by J2ME, which didn't support applets, as least not without an application-specific loader, or within a web browser AFAIK.

I'm pretty sure it's safe to say that Java applets on bare metal never took off. As has been pointed out in another response, "running Java applets without an OS or browser" was not exactly the intent of the OP's words in any instance.
There is some evidence that the higher power business works[1]. Anyway, it will always be difficult to directly judge a particular organization rather than its methods.

[1] The Power of Habit, by Charles Duhigg : while not scientifically spotless, the book directly addresses the methods of AA. To successfully establish a change in habit, one needs a belief that I can change : there is some sound evidence presented in the book.

Smart Change, by Art Marckman : he is literally a scientist and I can't find anything scientifically incorrect in this book. He also mentions and gives evidence for the advantage of belief in one's ability to change : here the context is not directly AA.
GCHQ and it’s American counterparts were more interested in deceiving the Soviets into believing that they hadn’t been able to break a type of cipher unrelated to Enigma, namely the pseudo-Vernam Ciphers as embodied by Tunny/Lorenz/* Geheimschreiber* for transmitting stream-enciphered teleprinter traffic (as decoded by Colossus). Enigma was trivial by comparison and it’s insecurity was known to the USSR.
No need for apologies, as you did not imply anything. I added for additional perspective. Relationships are difficult and I couldn't fathom trying to wade in today's waters.

You are correct, being comfortable alone while looking after another and respecting their boundaries is acquired through experience. My wife and I learned these traits through many hard lessons. For me, I was an ultra-marathoner during my mid-20s. The training and races provided me many lessons I still use in life.

Ah yes, separated from the military (left the military), not marriage.

Because they won't make a law that only affects these big corps. We can't have laws that legally require you to host any viewpoint.

Should famous theaters be legally required to host all political views? Must a church host all religions?

I really do hope there is some sort of curation system. The amount of scams run in the crypto space is absolutely insane.
A modern introduction would explain AEAD, elliptic curve algorithms and the need for/ implementation of PFS.

In terms of specifics like PGP it would today make more sense to describe Signal which you can relate to an ordinary user by telling them that's how WhatsApp works.
> by particle physicists usually mean .. photons, electrons, protons, atoms(o)

I meant pretty much anything that can be described by wave function evolving according to Schrodinger equation.

> as for interact, what do you mean by this?

Exchange of energy through any of 3 physical forces (not gravity). So not entanglement.

Single photon universe would never be observed so it would have wave function but never have specific location so according to my idea it would not affect spacetime.

These measures usually have 2 unpleasant side-effects for the initiator: they trigger some form of retaliation and they push the other party closer to the enemy.

In this case it could come back to harm the US tech sector for example, and it would push EU closer to China and Russia.
Thanks! Very important!
Google is kind of a special case in that they are the developer of the biggest web browser and the developer of the biggest web-apps. The integration between the two becomes somewhat inevitable at that point. Eventhough I too very much disagree with it.
Its hard to swallow but you have to be worth the money someone is paying you. If its the opposite, you will most likely get laid off.

With 25years in corp, you should have at least contacts to win contracts. If it was manager position ofcourse.

You used a link shortener. This is an abomination. Your survey is so short and provides so little context that any answers are meaningless because you have no idea if the people who fill out the survey are actually willing to buy anything. The last question is a signup for your email list and mandatory for completing the survey. I doubt anyone actually completed the survey.

That was awful. Find someone who you think has the problem you’re trying to solve, whatever that is and talk to them. Notice I have no idea what problem you’re trying to solve?

Before doing a survey talk to people in your target market, lots of them. Once you actually have a clue maybe do a survey, maybe find someone who will pay for what you say you’re going to do, or sign a letter of intent on that nice company letterhead saying they will buy it once you’ve made it.

Good luck. You’re working towards your goals. Hope you achieve them. Stop using so many exclamation marks. You’re not 12.
> Compare: the organ-donor registry. When it's opt-in, most people don't opt in. When it's opt-out, most people don't opt out. Most people just don't care.

I agree 120%.

It's weird nobody seems to really complain about platform lock in, which is the main problem created by software companies, that create so much pain for developers.

Even if one looks at the software market, I really doubts that lock in really works at all. Developers quickly figure out ways to do things run on multiplatform.

It's no surprise JavaScript grew to be so popular, because it was just 100% multi platform. It's quite sad to realize js has so many drawbacks.
Presuming the supreme court goes along with a fishing expedition like that though. Which even with a stacked court is a big presumption.

And that haunting tune the garbage truck blares out as it rolls through the neighborhood!
No, I think your assessment is correct. Few residential buildings in Taipei are that tall (my current one, for instance, has 6 floors) but the households that personally deliver their trash to the trucks tend to be individual units (not part of a apartment complex or gated community) in older and more residential parts of the city in buildings with fewer (e.g. 3) floors.

But the bigger factor is that people who have the money to live in newer apartments would prefer to pay for managed trash.
im using newpipe on android and adding the rss feeds to newsblur so I can watch on desktop. its actually really good since you get away from their suggestions side bar and autoplay (and the UI).

newsblur let's you organise things into subfolders too which is helpful

Upcoming: World's first RabbitMQ summit – what do you think about the speakers?
This article is unreasonable. Taipei has alleys and clever ways of dealing with garbage therefore San Francisco should allow larger number of scooters.

But this ignores the major conflict that has already flared up. Without specific places allocated these scooters end up taking up valuable space in the public domain. Without successfully establishing methods for controlling and enforcing where scooters go they end up everywhere. My work involves wheeling equipment around along sidewalks all over the City and I am frequently blocked by not just individual scooters but entire piles which are heavy and difficult to move in part for the same reason they end up distributed that way. There is no particular place for them and only very limited efforts to collect them and bring order.

If you want to revolutionize some aspect of cities such as transport or trash collection then you have to do it in a way that does not block other people from doing their work and attending their duties. If your revolution starts to cause a lot of damage as the scooter craze already has then it will start to be reigned in by official actions. Thinking that you have absolute infinite license to block streets and pile up scooters in a very small and congested city is unreasonable and wrong and has already failed.

Try again maybe? Maybe aggressive collection of scooters based on Taipei trash collection could work where current methods have failed?

I understand that you want scooters and that would be nice, but I want to be able to use the sidewalks and have already established a pattern of use that leaves them available to the vast majority of others who live, work, or visit the City.
