anyone has a problem with ads per se, as long as there aren't that many of them, they are contextual

The ad industry 100 years ago solved this problem. Wanna sell widgets? Take out an ad in Widgets Weekly and you know you will perfectly target an audience of widget-fans. All this tracking stuff is totally unnecessary and everyone must know it.
If the UI is your only concern, why not try one of the hundreds of native email clients available for whatever operating system you may be running? I haven’t used Google’s web interface in years.
Maybe instead of "here are 50 emails you can buy" it's more like "pay us to send an email to 50 students". In the second case no data is shared.
Twitter seems more like a symptom than a root cause here.
> You can draw a very short dotted line to all the automation they eventually had to rip out of the Model 3 production line.

Given his large-scale visions, I suspect the attempt at extreme automation was intended as a proof of concept about fully automated manufacturing for off-planet use.
I think the title is misleading: its not really marriage costs, its a payment to the bride/parents to account for the gender disparity in China caused by sex-selective abortions.

These bride costs should be allowed to climb infinitely, because it will serve as an incentive for families to have girls - and actually sex-selectively abort boys.

Unfortunately we are seeing all this in the West, where Asian migrants to countries like Australia are still selectively aborting girls. The difference is that other ethnicities are not, so those Asian boys can then grow up to marry girls from other communities, and a female shortage is pushed onto the whole of society. Its basically a tragedy of the commons.
So? Does race matter or does it not?
If it requires installing something extra that you otherwise don’t need the mass market won’t join...

Also in general the masses probably will never see why to pay 10 bucks or whatever for quality content as they are happy being served the other stuff... i mean, ads wouldn’t be so successful if there weren’t people viewing the crap content they are placed in... even less being clicked on.

But there are thousands of people even responding to spam mails and sending money to some Nigerian Kings...

Wait. How about paying quality content from these. I mean, just telling them your brother has a million in the bank and they just need to pay 1000 to get it out and be rewarded with 10% etc... instead of nothing as usual, they get quality content! Ok after reading too much of that they won’t do it anymore. Selfdestructing Business.

Yes. I think of the triple-A game industry as a mirror image of the film industry. Many of those who work on games tend to be hired on a per-project basis. When viewed this way, the lack of unions to represent game developers is a glaring issue.
30 Books to Understand Modern China
The issue with using it for Netflix isn't privacy, it's that bittorrent is simply not any good for streaming video content when compared with current technologies already used by streaming broadcasters.

* It's slower to deliver video since you're reliant on upload connections of end users

* It's less reliable (same reason as above)

* You have no guarantee that chunks will arrive in the right order to actually stream data (ie the end of the file might download first)

* You cannot send multiple different video qualities in the same stream and have the client dynamically pick the right bitrate for their connection (this is what current streaming services do and why you often see Netflix / Prime video / etc switch between quality mid-stream without having to restart that stream. I can write more in this if people are interested)

* It's harder to debug network problems if you are experiencing issues with video quality (been in enough stressful emergency meetings with network guys over the years - I can't imagine how much worse it might have been if we couldn't do a full end to end trace of the delivery)

* Time to start playing a new stream is longer (which end users might care about)

* It couldn't support live services where the video data is being generated near real time

The current methods for video delivery are actually really good, bittorrent would be a major step backwards. However for delivering other kinds of assets - such as patches to computer games - protocols conceptually similar to bittorrent are used.
Cigarette butts are one of those odd things that are still (somewhat) socially acceptable to flick down a drain or into a road - at least that's what I've seen living in Berlin and Estonia and travelling around. It's always been quite odd to me, if you were eating a candy bar on the street you wouldn't just drop the wrapper when you were done, but if it's a cigarette as long as you extinguish it, you can drop it wherever you want

> A communist scarf with print ads from a local Wanda branch has gone viral on Chinese social media this weekend. “It’s all about the money,” some netizens write. A locally issued red scarf, worn by the ‘Young Pioneers of China’ to symbolize loyalty to communism, became the topic of great online controversy this weekend. The red scarfs worn by students in Heze (菏泽), Shandong, came with print advertising for Wanda, a Chinese multinational private real estate developer.

> Photos of the print ad red scarfs, promoting a local branch of the Wanda branch, went viral on September 29. The scarfs were worn by third-grade students of the Danyanglu primary school. The scarfs were reportedly handed out to the students in light of a road safety campaign on September 25. The school board allegedly did not notice the advertisement.

If you are interested in CS-related research (like, really interested to make theoretical contributinos), then CS is obviously needed. For the rest of coders, i 'd say a math degree or a physics degree might teach more skills and a better appreciation of intution. I see sometimes programmers trying to apply extreme abstractions to simple situations that makes my physicist self almost angry. It also makes it easier to justify going with what works, rather than with what justifies the time spent to learn compiler theory.

In the PC gaming world has also experienced a big drop in quality lately. A lot of games are released prematurely and feel like Betas, lacking polish and filled with bugs. Online delivery of Games made things worse, there's no reason to wait to make things right when the game can be patched easily. I believe this will have a big impact on game sales in the near future if it hasn't already with many consequences for the industry.
Do enough people work with ironing beads regularly so that they would pay a monthly subscription?

My kids love those beads, and I've made some small things with them as well. I could see myself buying maybe buying an app for €5 to 10€, but there's no way I'd buy a subscription.

Also, this absolutely needs to be an iPhone app. Snap a picture of something and convert it into a bead pattern.

I mean it's the most generic advice you can give. Maybe he enjoys believing in a single company and taking risks. Maybe he's totally fine even if he lost it all. People spend more than 1/4 of their net worth's on hobbies, but suddenly if you have 1/4 of your net worth in a single company it's a disaster and you are crazy.
we as human are expected to stay 8hrs in the office because that's what our culture says: 40hrs a week is a normal work week. But if you analyse what we do in the office: barely ANYTHING.

My advice to you:
As a Junior, you should expect good mentorship and support from your more senior peers and your manager. So lean on this. Make sure that the expectations between you and your manager are clear.
Ask your manager the productivity he expects you to have. What tasks are expected to be done either daily, weekly or in the sprint. Try to see also what other engineers of your level are accomplishing. Once this is a little more clear to you, then forget about hours, butt in seat, etc.
Do those tasks and find the sweet spot. If the expectations take you 1hrs/day, take a little more work, because performing better than expectations will make you feel good and motivate you (and probably be good for your career). If it takes over, say, 4-6hrs/day, the expectations might be a little too much, or you might need to growth a bit more and learn how to be more productive.
It's all about economics.

Yes, torrents have some downsides - forever they can be worked through at some cost of quality. I might see some delays occasionally for example while I wait for an it is sequence chunk to arrive.

However for some content/use cases, perhaps that will be acceptable.

Right now the economics favor a dedicated and reliable changes from the source - e.g Netflix.

Perhaps one day another use case will appear where the massive cost benefits of piggybacking off other people's resources comes into its own.

To understand the Chinese system you need to understand where legitimacy comes from in China. The Chinese government employs 50m people, it is a participatory state - everyone will know someone employed by the government. Personal obligations mesh people together to the state, migration and demographic change have disrupted connections and threaten this mechanism of legitimacy - the social credit system could be seen as a reaction and reinforcement of this. I think it is important that people try and see what is going on as it is rather than as a caricature because otherwise the lessons will be lost in the noise, in this case I think that the Equifax / capitalist system is remarkably similar to the Chinese system. Not only are people constrained by the predictions of loan repayment (and by the way that's a can of worms in terms of how & what) but also people are tracked and shamed by their opinions and habits online; and these are wilfully misquoted and misinterpreted to generate social constraints (the recent story about the estate agent who was falsely accused as a bigot and an adulterer : http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2018/07/when-a-stranger-decides-to-...)

My concern is that the truly evil have stealth and pretence on their side, while people who are developing the behaviours and norms that will be necessary for us to cope with the societal challenges we face - for example people who espouse radical anti-consumerism - may be driven out of debate by the norms and norm maintenance mechanisms that are accidentally and with good intention being developed in the west.

I don't agree with that, because the number of hours you work are pretty irrelevant when not in a butts-in-seats setup.
Also, burnout is not really directly related to the number of hours you work.

Work should be focused on productivity, not hours spent. Employers, clients and managers have expectations of a quantity of work being accomplished for a specific budget, and it doesn't matter to them if its done in 2hrs or 200hrs.

I don't quite understand your answer. As the readme says:

That has nothing to do with their perception of risk regarding surveillance.

The supporters of the AfD view the current establishment as their main enemy and it has everything to do with their views on migration.

If the AfD was openly campaigning to introduce surveillance laws those same areas would not be in favour of them.

The trouble is this thing: "BaoFeng BF-F8HP (UV-5R 3rd Gen) 8-Watt Dual Band Two-Way Radio (136-174Mhz VHF & 400-520Mhz UHF) Includes Full Kit"[1] This cheap radio is sold as a "ham radio", and requires a ham license. Large numbers of non-hams are using it in the GMRS service at higher power levels than allowed. It's popular with "preppers", even though it's not very rugged, is complicated to use, tends not to put out as much power as claimed, and the battery tends to come loose.[2] The FCC's concern is that it allows 8 watt blithering over a wide range of frequencies by people with no clue how to use it properly. There are GMRS radios made for hunters which are much more suitable for wilderness use - waterproof and easy to use.[3]

Because TBH when that last 10% of the game is going to take as much time as the first 90%, you can release the game at 90%, make up some money, and hopefully finish the game if its good, or at least recoup some of your investment.

There are more good quality especially indy games coming out right now than probably ever before, but the envelope pushing games and especially those with new an interesting gameplay is lowering. Genres are starting to really find their limits, and a huge amount of games are just hyper specializations of one mechanic or another, and the rest are playgrounds for many many different mechanics (but most/all of them already invented). Games then need to lean on maximizing story, art style, or precision mechanics and production quality to set themselves apart. Online delivery has made "light" publishers possible which is only a good thing IMO. Games like undertale, minecraft, stardew valley, rez, etc would have been extremely difficult to get going initially without online delivery.

VR can open up some new pathways for sure, but we'll see how that goes.
