I get that, and I fully support that choice, and I agree with that feeling.

But it's the lack of choice in terms of what is blocked, and the limited ability to understand that it's the content blocker that is potentially breaking the application which is what i'm lamenting here.

I can't overstate how much I want to respect the user if they don't want some aspects, or some features, or anything which they just don't like, or which they feel can impact their privacy. (I'll argue with you about the ethics of blocking ads but still using a service, but that's another point entirely!)

My issue is that there is a group of people that are deciding what things are allowed and which aren't, and they are going to necessarily have to make tradeoffs (I don't think that all of amazon.com should be blocked because they can track your purchase history by virtue of handling your purchase!). But for the most part the trade offs made are opaque to the user and site owner, and the UX is lacking in showing the user that the content blocker can be the cause of the problem, not to mention that by default these lists are very powerful tools able to pretty quickly harm good actors (and this isn't something i'm single-ing out content blockers for, antivirus vendors, ISPs (AKA net neutrality), and even social networks all have this issue to some extent).

There might not be a good answer, and I sure as hell don't pretend to have it, but I'm just wishing for a way that users can make informed decisions on what they want to block, rather than have someone decide for them. Without some kind of give and take here, the arms race is just going to continue, and as it escalates, good actors (of which I'd like to think i'm one of) will get increasingly pushed away as they are blocked just the same as bad actors, leaving them with the options of "play dirty and survive" or "die peacefully".

I'm sad to say that I ended up taking a page out of the "play dirty" book and got a new domain name for the app in question to get around the content blockers, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat since I'm not abusing that information or power, but I'm blocked as if I am. And while I feel dirty that I'm forcing my wants onto others, the ratio of "unwilling participants" to "those who actually wanted to use my app, but not one it's core features" is so unbalanced that I ended up ignoring the latter to save the former. And while I wish I could respect the wants of the latter group, if I engage there the former will have the content blocked for them as well again, and I'll be right back to square 1.

She thought of a different method and wrote it out, and they dismissed it again. After that, she said that she didn't know what they wanted, and they condescendingly told her that she should just use the equivalent of a string.reverse() function (I don't remember which language it was).

Wyzecam is considering adding 'RTSP' protocol to allow other devices to retrieve the video stream. Doubtful that it will be implemented as it directly impacts their business model.

From WyzeCam subreddit:
"We want to create an ecosystem of products that work through our app. If people stop using our app, what are we providing (given that we don't make the hardware ourselves)? We don't have a specific plan for subscriptions at this point but we are considering it so that we could provide cloud storage options beyond our baseline.

We might enable RTSP (still working on deciding that). We also may add features to our app that would reduce the need for RTSP by making things work through the app itself. It's a bit up in the air right now."

The fact that cryptocurrencies have managed to grow and hold their value for so long is in itself proof that the financial system is not working.

A huge chunk of the new money that the Fed is injecting into the system is going straight into the financial sector and some of it is going directly into cryptocurrencies.

People have started to figure out that hard work doesn't pay. To earn money, you just need to get close to the massive stream of money that the Fed is constantly dumping into the economy.

The whole financial system is an over-engineered mess; packed with technical debt and vulnerabilities. If it was a software system, it would have been rewritten decades ago.
Except we have no candidates that are saying we should exterminate the Jews. But plenty of candidates and non-candidates what are saying "he is disagreeing with me on tax rates, immigration rules and Title IX due process enforcement, so he's as good as wanting to exterminate the Jews".

The story becomes even funnier if we consider how many of these people support BDS, which is aligned with people that literally do want to exterminate the Jews, and some (like Rasmeah Odeh) actually did murder the Jews, and some others (like Linda Sarsour) are only one enthusiastic handshake removed from ones that did, and wholeheartedly support them.

That's gonna need citations. The way I see it, government spending has ALWAYS been increasing and taxes as well. Maybe both parties should stop sending money to countries for foreign aid and start paring back spending.

Actually, the USA claims “extraterritorial jurisdiction” on some laws concerning citizens.

It's a crime for a US citizen to commit murder out of the country. The situations this comes up seem rare, but it happens. The mercenaries in this article got UAE military ranks explicitly to avoid this.

Another instance that sadly comes up more often is sexual offenses involving children. If you engage in child prostitution in a foreign country even where it's “legal”/illegal-but-not-enforced you can be prosecuted and jailed on your return to the US.

Collecting evidence for these extraterritorial offenses must be harder though. Would be interesting if these offenses can even be used for extradition.

> The question of "Who has power in the British Empire" was settled pretty definitively back in 1649, when Charles I lost his head.

> If you want to split hairs, we can say that it was settled more definitively in 1661, when Cromwell's head was put on a spike outside Westminster hall.

Those are both wrong. It was settled in 1911 when George V made clear he would intervene by appointing new life peers if necessary to assure passage of reforms which would strip the House of Lords of its power to reject legislation, which finally settled that the Commons would henceforth be effectively the sole decisive ruling body of the Empire.

Prior to that, the Commons (democratic, approximately) and Lords (decidedly not) had an ebb and flow of power, with the Lord's sometimes being more powerful and the Commons sometimes being more powerful (including, for a period, the Commons abolishing the Lords with Cromwell's support, but that, like Cromwell, didn't last.)

> You dont make the rules about how someone gets to speak.

I don't have to make any rules. I'm saying how he did it got him fired. If you think how he did it is correct go ahead and do it in all of those tech companies. You think you won't be risking getting fire doing the way he did it?

Whether you like it or not. Just like his memo trying to be slapping hard truth down. I'll give this unpopular opinion down. There is always rules on how to sell your idea and say things especially sensitive matter. If you're going to go blunt about it, don't get mad if you're going to get fire. Actions have consequences. He could have gone about it many ways and if you think his ways is the best go ahead and do it at your company with his memo. I wouldn't be surprise you get fire.

Rules? Ha. I just have to point to what happened to him. He got fire cause his way got him fire. Rules? You think this idealist thought of yours work with people? Try managing people with many different ideas and being blunt all the time.

You're the same as the people that didn't like his memo. You can't handle the blunt truth and got angry.

Also here's a thought experiment. Why don't you use your real name instead of a username handler and post the same thoughts online.

I'd like to see if you act the same way with your real name as a username.
Something like 75% of all non-meat food grown in the US is fed to animals for later eating. When you complain about soy destroying forests, you are complaining about meat consumption:

> Just over 70 percent of the soybeans grown in the United States are used for animal feed, with poultry being the number one livestock sector consuming soybeans, followed by hogs, dairy, beef and aquaculture. The second largest market for U.S. soybeans is for production of foods for human consumption, like salad oil or frying oil, which uses about 15 percent of U.S. soybeans. A distant third market for soybeans is biodiesel, using only about 5 percent of the U.S. soybean crop. In 2013, soybean exports reached record highs, exporting 43 million metric tons to overseas markets. China remains the largest export market for U.S. soybeans.

You'll find this same thing over and over again when discussing clearing land for crop growth. The vast majority of it is to support meat production. Going vegan is probably the number one thing you can do to fight climate change and pollution in general, as an individual. Especially since switching would eliminate vast amounts of farming, and the associated chemicals and water loss. edit: and deforestation.

It is not a small thing, not at all, and to diminish it is to deny the massive sea of change that is required to actually fight climate change with 7B people on the planet.

Sure, there is a lot of cultural blowback against veganism, but I think it is manufactured via marketing, just like the anemic belief in climate change in the United States.

Correct. It's straight-forward to get into the regular special forces. Anyone with slightly better than average intelligence and physique can make it.

The elite special forces is a completely different ballgame. You need to be smarter and more fit than probably 90% of the population. Lots of these guys end up doing very well for themselves after leaving the military.
I have no idea what the laws are around this. If the US military offers me, a civilian, $10,000 to murder some guy in Syria, and I do it, and it comes to light, should I expect to get sued? Prosecuted? Am I protected by any treaties?

I'd bet on a combination of 1) and 3), more of 3), to be honest, the Chinese Central Government is known as picking losers and winners (which can be seen from the outside as "market forces running their course") and the subdued economic growth can be easily masked with aggressive foreign policy rhetoric, like building some new islets in the South China Sea. Choosing 2) will most probably escalate the dangers of a military confrontation with the US, I don't see the Chinese going that route, war it's bad for business (in most cases, anyway).
That is some laid back attitude to murder. Are you also cool with the "warriors" "monetizing" their skills in the US " civilian market" ?

> No messenger system protects you against that.

If the system doesn't have central server then it would become more difficult. You cannot subpoena a Tox network.

Any messenger that requires and stores a phone number (read your real-world identity and physical location) is neither anonymous nor private.

Also, a centralized messenger with a single server means that all traffic between all the users around the world goes through one data-center in one country that can do what? Observe the traffic and detect who is using this messenger, at least their IP address and country.

Of course, for most users this doesn't change anything because they don't do anything illegal. But if they don't do anything illegal then they don't really need protection and can use VK or Telegram.

> Every society needs common beliefs to function. These beliefs are arbitrary in the sense that there are other beliefs that would work just as well.

First of all, you are confusing two very distinct concepts here under the label "belief", just as religions usually do. One is "stuff you think you know about how the world works", the other is "how you think certain things should be done".

Your "beliefs" as to how certain things should be done are arbitrary to a degree.

If your "beliefs" about how the world works are arbitrary, then your epistemology is heavily broken, in particular it is probably lacking falsifiability. Things you let go close to the surface of the earth either fall down or they don't. If you believe the latter, you are just wrong. This is the concept of "belief" that I was talking about above: Religions make unsubstantiated claims about how the world works and indoctrinate people into accepting that nonsense as factual knowledge about the world, claiming that doing so (what they then call "faith", another such misleading equivocation) is a virtue.

Now, you need common beliefs about how the world works for the simple reason that if two people have contradicting beliefs about how the world works, at least one of them is wrong, and being wrong about how the world works is not conducive to controlling your environment. In that sense, it is much less confusing to simply say that a society needs accurate beliefs about how the world works--which necessarily will be common.

As for common beliefs about how certain things should be done: Well, yes, you need that, too, and while those can be arbitrary to a degree, it isn't all that much of a degree, because most of how things should be done is a consequence of how the world works, and if it isn't, you are, again, wrong.

> All secular states have a flag used for ceremonial purposes for example. It's supposed to create a feeling of unity. Just like religious symbols do.

So? Are there any unsubstantiated claims in the existence of a national flag? Why do you mention this?!

Religions do lots of stuff that non-religions do, which is exactly why those things are not defining characteristics of religions.

> Not all societies have an all-seeing god, for example.

Which is indeed an example of an unsubstantiated claim that religions sell as factual. And a claim that secular states do very well without. Which is precisely why it is absurd to pretend that secular states are religions.
Recommendations in the article are good, but in my experience it's often not feasible to have an agenda beforehand in practice.

In that case, do the following:

* At the beginning of the meeting, do a check-in. Everyone says what's different after the meeting has been finished successfully — preferably in one sentence.

* At the end of the meeting, do a check-out. Everyone says whether the meeting has been successful for him and, if not, why and what could be done differently next time.

It's also helpful to include your personal mood or things that block you from contributing in the check-in. This helps others help you in getting the most out of it.

Last but not least, if the check-in reveals that someone is not needed in the meeting, double-check if that's really the case with the team and then let him/her leave.
"The man who doged the Dogecoin"
One thing I've discovered as I've grown older is just how much the concept that business is about money is bullshit. That's a theory about business and it doesn't describe reality very well. Business is much more about power and ego than it is about money. You see this with small businesses most directly. Lots of small businesses fail because they don't do the obvious thing to maximize revenue and profits and to stay in business, instead they do things that only make sense in the context of the owner's ego and sense of power.
I totally understand the feeling/frustration of pie charts being overused and often where they shouldn't be, and for the most part, I agree. I think it's always a good idea to stop and ask, "can a different chart convey the information better?" And the answer will almost always be "absolutely" when looking at a pie chart, no denying that. I will throw these two cases out for consideration of where a pie chart may be acceptable though:

1) As you mentioned, they're visually pleasing. No, that doesn't make up for when it's hard to read data, but I think a case can be made for snagging people's attention and getting eyeballs on a report you send out. If a pie chart is the hook that gets people interested in your data, maybe it's a sacrifice worth making. Artists aren't the only people who can find things visually appealing.

2) Basically, storytelling. There's no rule that says you can't show the same/similar data in different ways to help tell a good story. In some situations, it could make sense to start with a high-level visual breakdown of a group, and then use more detailed charts to get into the details you want to focus on (like how different segments relate). Or maybe the story I'm trying to tell has a ton of sub-groups which all pale in comparison to one dominant one. I think a pie chart visualizes that situation (where exact details aren't important) pretty well.

I ultimately just don't think it's a binary thing, where only artists will enjoy having a little visual variety and that any and every pie chart is a 100% waste of everyone's time. Most of the time, they're silly and an excuse for different shapes and colors, but I like to think even pie charts have their place in data visualization.
