To this point, I've looked for (and failed to find) year-over-year statistics for murders by police. I agree with the parent that technology is revealing existing problems in greater light. Whether or not the problem itself is getting better or worse is a separate issue.
There are certain government reactions which are nonsense, I agree. Like the reaction to 911 in the US and creating the massive hysteria around airport security, which failed miserably, but still nobody does anything about it. I am not justifying stupid laws and decisions made by governments here.

I am not an advocate of how the police and law enforcement works in the US, bit I see the relation why it works like that or at least what would be one of the main causes of it.

Whilst people are crying about giving less control and force to the police, there is no counter measure on the civilian side regarding the ownership of guns in the US.
(Totally speculating here) I imagine the states would be something like "have no numbers", "have one number", and "have both numbers".

And there would be some kind of transition in-to or out-of that third state that would specify the addition.

That's convention when you're calling attention to specific data points. When you have a graph comparing a dozen items but you're really only concerned with how 1 or 2 items fall in the pack, you generally color them to stand out from the rest.

Take a look at any computer hardware review site and you'll see similar coloring. (https://images.anandtech.com/graphs/graph13254/light-bw.png)

This one's less clear. On the one hand, obviously a toxic work environment can ruin anyone's performance, and accounting for that is important. On the other hand, most work has to happen in some kind of work environment, and to some extent we all have to learn how to work well with people around us. That's an important skill for any job.
I ran a venture backed VPN company for many years (Spotflux). These days there are tons of huge players in the market, some of which have hundreds of millions of dollars in funding. Your challenges will be as many have stated the following:

1) Convincing providers to let you have VPN traffic on their networks.
2) Dealing with tons of DMCA complaints
3) Dealing with GDPR compliance in the EU
4) Maintaining compatibility for dozens of different user configurations and having apps in the mobile app stores
5) Dealing with credit card and payment fraud.
6) Dealing with law enforcement once you reach a certain scale (no, incorporating in whatever random island will not help you)
7) Maintaining constant uptime of your servers. When a user faces even a minute of downtime, their internet connection is now effectively broken and you are to blame.
8) Dealing with lots and lots of customer support issues and an endless mix of customer configurations which will have you ripping out your hair trying to resolve.
9) Constantly make sure your systems are secured from the latest exploits so you can guarantee privacy and safety of your users.
10) Maintaining a brand and a niche with mature marketing channels that keeps new users coming and paying for your service.

At the end of the day, its a very difficult company to run and its even harder to maintain profitability with so much competition.
> Making things work is surprisingly hard and (imho) a soul crushing proces.

I'm not able to turn off caring about what I work on, although I have picked up some tricks over time that help me turn that caring on. However, there's if I'm working on something that is ultimately lame, eventually I'll run out of stuff to care about. That's when the soul crushing starts to happen.

Regarding taxes, are you talking about Chicago proper or the surrounding suburbs? I rented in North Chicago for a couple years and I don't recall any taxes other than local and state sales tax, and state income tax. Granted that's pretty far north. Are the taxes higher as you get closer to the metropolis center?
Meritocracy, when the term was coined, referred to a society that was essentially a reboot of aristocracy.

A new group takes charge by their own merit, then they embed their own descendants in the leader caste through a combination of shaping society to their own definition of merit, and designing an education system to confer "merit" on their own offspring at the expense of less "merit-worthy" children (i.e. most children who do not have meritorious ancestors).

A meritocratic society also suffers from an additional problem over that of an aristocracy because it embeds the complementary statement - that those who are not well rewarded are in that position because they are not as good/hard-working/clever as their "betters".

> For the techies going to work for google, it was never about not being evil. It was about getting rich.

Most "techies going to work for google" or any other tech firm, are not going to get rich, in the Bill Gates or Larry Ellison sense. Sure, techies (currently) have a good shot at an above average lifestyle, but that's it. Working as third engineer from the left is not going to provide generational wealth for their descendants, or significantly impact their retirement dates. like everyone else, they are still dependent on their ability to work in order to survive. And it's all highly dependent on the whims of the tech job market. Everything about how good techies have it could be negated during the next tech downturn.

The fact that Array.prototype.map has different semantics from Python's map built-in, as most likely encountered by newcomers to JavaScript with the [...].map(parseInt) issue, is something that bit me once, maybe twice, before I adjusted to it - especially given that I'm more likely to use comprehensions than map in Python nowadays anyway. And the fact that the callback receives the index in JS is useful in far more situations than it causes problems, and it's certainly nicer than

>>> [ callback(v, i) for (i, v) in enumerate(arr) ]

when you want the index position.
It's not the only factor, but it's a shame Musk really wanted to put the Autopilot hardware into all Model 3s. I think that increased the base price of the car by at least $5,000.
I get it; meritocracy often breaks down over time. But then it's become something else (perhaps a new aristocracy). But its not a different word for the same thing.
Not only can you not disconnect it, but it’s the only way it can work now. I had a problem with my Spotify account, and the first thing the support rep did was make me connect it to Facebook because he said he couldn’t fix it until it was connected.

So my many years old account just got forced to be connected to Facebook last month.
Your soapbox speech against the entire idea of changing connotations is bewildering to me. We change and abandon words all of the time. What you're saying is in line with "Why should I let some jerk from history ruin the name 'Adolph' for me. I'm gonna name my son that anyway!"

Words are for other people and other people might have opinions about them. Why are you so invested in putting up blinders to ignore that?

also your examples are bad. You picked non-controversial ones that aren't currently cultural wedge issues or dog-whistles. Try ones like "pro-life" or "liberal" instead.

Many people do think about starving kids when they hear "poverty" though. There would be much less outcry in media if everybody realized it's about kids having smaller TVs rather than truly starving.

There's a running joke in my country that US poverty is our middle class - only two cars and a small house.

I wrote a full comment and then deleted it because our blog talks a lot about this. At the risk of being downvoted for pushing my employer's blog, I'll leave you with a blog post:

https://blog.aha.io/remote-workers-vs-office-workers/

Notable bits:

> People get more done when they have autonomy

> the office is filled with distractions. This is especially true for those who are in an open-office space, where they are 15 percent less productive, have more trouble concentrating, and are not too pleased with their sound privacy.

> People are often surprised to learn that remote workers are actually more engaged than in-office counterparts. [0]

> Perhaps the greatest benefit of remote work is that it makes the way for sustainable happiness — giving people the chance to pursue their passions both in work and in life

And this is not said in the article, but happy people produce better work.

Both approaches have their place. If the problem you're solving is best served by an "old fashioned algorithm" you can hook up a side application to your core system. The interface you define between the side app and core ensures your data never gets into a weird state because your algorithm didn't cover a case. For instance, for some projects we hook up to the Preactor planning system specifically to use their algorithms.

Clearly unworkable if you're on the other side of the globe though, unless you're willing to live at completely different hours as the rest of the society you're part of.

I suppose if that ever becomes an issue they could settle on two or three time zones to try and accommodate almost everyone. It can be inconvenient but it can also sometimes be efficient for tasks that lend themselves to working in "shifts". Like you develop your software, you send a version for testing, you go home, you return next morning and people on the other side of the globe have had time to test it and give some feedback.

Of course it can also easily lead to a huge waste of time if you're stuck and you need some feedback from people who won't be available until late in the afternoon in your timezone. It definitely requires very good logistics and planning.

Signaling is a very app-specific question, as you can use a wide range of options. If you take a look at the "apprtc" example, it's a demo which uses appr.tc's signaling.

You can indeed use aiortc facing a browser, itself or any valid WebRTC endpoint.

Sure, you can use aiortc for a desktop application. However for this specific usecase embedding a browser which supports WebRTC (say QtWebEngine) might be a good option too.
Nope, no relation. It's a long story for some other day ;)

It's also revisionist to interject your own thoughts and represent them to a party as whole.

The somewhat paranoid, but possibly correct conclusion here, just like with some of the other recent "acts of chaos" (election tampering, and other misinformation campaigns) is to "Blame Russia".

This might be one of the simpler explanations - Russia planted the data / evidence / sources to Bloomberg, with the sole objective being to sow chaos in the world. This, to me, is the only explanation where it makes sense that both sides think they're right - Bloomberg really did have those sources and Apple et al really didn't find any evidence of this tampering.

(Rewind to the hours after the presidential election - those who were blaming Russia already were labeled as kooks, right?)

Not really. Facebook will put your account in a cycle of verification hell. They really don't seem to like accounts of users trying to be anonymous.

There is. It's a solved problem. The only issue is lack of info (many evil people vs 1 good) but most people get stuck because of a "no compromises" attitude and lack of will to make that decision.

Dire consequences of Global Warming have been forecast since the first earth day in 1970:

"Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born… [By 1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s."

— Paul Ehrlich

"The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age."

— Kenneth Watt

The fact is, we've had 70+ temperature swings in the last 4,500 years, including 2 since 1970. It's odd we talk about catastrophic things happening when the earth warms, but what about the dire consequences when it starts to cool again?

The original comment was about Adobe and Autodesk 'supporting' linux properly. 3D Studio was originally written for DOS, but published by Autodesk, not written by them.

It doesn't make sense to say Autodesk doesn't 'properly support Linux' when they have software for Linux, and one program that isn't for Linux doesn't really have much demand on Linux in the first place.

I am not trying to pick a fight, but Apple's statement says...

* They never found mailicious chips planted on any server

* They never found a vulnerability planted on any server

* They were never contacted by the FBI about malicious chips or vulnerabilities

* They are willing to state this before congress

In my opinion, this disagrees with the biggest pieces of the Bloomberg piece. Does the word "purposefully" really negate Apple's statement? It could be a matter of opinion, my opinion is that it does not.

That they are willing to talk to Congress, to my mind, speaks to how far they are willing to go on this. IMHO, if they were under some kind of gag order they wouldn't be pushing this hard.
