> This is bullshit. It used to be possible to make a living off of selling recorded music, whether records or cds, and people cared about, and bought albums, in large numbers.

It still is. But let's break down the "bullshit." It used to be possible to make a living driving a horse drawn buggy. Then things changed. Fewer people wanted or needed this, the value went down accordingly.

A different mechanism but the same principle. The cost to produce and distribute recorded music is plummeted. There is a saturated markets for artists and recorded music. Is it a surprise that the value of a play has dropped accordingly?
Title should read “Voters decide elections, but are easily duped by political commercials paid for by billionaires.”

Psychosomatic illnesses are a real thing. They can cause real and serious impact to people's health.

A psychosomatic illness arising after the stress of living and working in a country that has been "the enemy" for six decades, after being told that you will be under "constant surveillance by Cuban intelligence", after their intelligence agents make it clear to you that you're under surveillance? After three agents of your state intelligence suddenly come down with a mysterious, unexplainable illness? Seems entirely plausible to me.
Great question!

The app itself does NOT require any of these permissions.

However, Instabug, which is a third party library we use to help our users send bug reports or suggest improvements, requires these permissions to capture screenshots or screen recordings.

We only receive these when a user actively files a bug report or suggests an improvement to the app. Here is the documentation:
https://docs.instabug.com/docs/android-integration

Furthermore, here is an excerpt from Instabug's docs:
"Generally, the permission request doesn't appear unless the user attempts to use any of the features requiring the permission. The only exception, if you set the invocation event to be Screenshot. Then, the storage permission will be requested when the application launches."

We use these bug reports to improve the user experience and help build a better app.

The 1.1.1.1 app does not and will not collect any sort of private information.

Good catch and a good reason to be suspicious.

The D-Health study in Austrialia will be done in a couple of years and is a similar size just looking at vitamin D, so we can see then if the results match. That is a large monthly dose so not exactly the same thing. Also, vitamin D studies seem to very often get contradictory results and I don't know if the reasons for that have been figured out.

Not directly related to this study, but one oddity with vitamin D for anyone who had done testing is that the most common tests undercount D2 and fortified products and many supplements use D2.

If you need multicore performance, you likely will soon need multi-server performance, in which case you can either use multiprocessing or even containerization to run one gevent “hub” on each core across a cluster. Compared to threads, the memory overhead is minimal.
IDK, those platforms are not agencies. They are a dating service meets escrow. They not in the relationship business. If the hiring company __and__ the freelancer don't know the law - and clearly both of themt should - is that Upwork's job? To give legal advice? Sounds more like Legal.com to me.

Upwork saw an obvious red flag and covered it's arse. I think they could have done a bit better, but the Twitter rant is foolish, at best.
High end state of the art spectrum analyzers from Keysight and similar companies can look at 1Ghz of bandwidth at a time and they cost upwards of $200k and take ~12u of rack space. RF is anything from 3kHz to 300Ghz. Unlikely that a $50 hobby SDR with 20Mhz of bandwidth is going to glean much of use unless you get lottery lucky.

The "Establishment" loses all the time. Trump was "supposed" to finish last in Republican primaries and ended up President. At every step, he faced and beat the Establishment choice, up to beating the Wall St/Hollywood/Tech endorsed candidate for President.
Right. And that means the return must be shit, because Colgate-Palmolive finds it worth its while to spend twice as much moneg advertising toothpaste and dish soap as all the wealthy individuals and companies in the country find it worth their while to invest in political advertising.

Put differently, corporate political advertising amounts to about 0.5% of advertising in the US. That tells you a lot about how unimportant it is to companies’ bottom lines. It’s basic arithmetic. These political decisions are worth hundreds of billions of dollars per year. If corporations invest only a billion influencing them, that means the influence is very attenuated: it only affects votes at the margins.
But I can use this to download things that are not open source... I can use this to download SOCKS proxies (that despite not being VPNs I believe are still banned in the Chinese App Store, though I might be wrong about that: they are definitely illegal in China)... hell: I can use this to download other (even less efficient) emulators for other architectures. I mean, this is literally "an emulator", which is a core example of a thing that Apple wants to not exist.

I mean: this is a great implementation of an emulator. I have downloaded and tried iSH, and it is actually "kind of epic". This isn't exactly what I thought it would be, glancing at the source code: it sounded like it would be running the Linux kernel (so actually be Linux) in console mode, but this is a library operating system and is very similar in many ways to the project I sometimes talk about (which also provided a library operating system, but was going to distribute pre-compiled code as part of the application to avoid needing an emulator), but this is clearly better as an emulator (and is much easier to do, despite this emulator being a slightly harder emulator to build than most).

So, this is a great implementation of this--this is even a "heroic" implementation of this--but, at the end of the day, this is the thing Apple was trying to stop (as much as I hate Apple for that).
The article is terrible in more ways than just the title -- their claim that Prop 10 was voted down billionaires were against it has no evidence behind it. Correlation is not causation.

> ...fight against Prop 10. Sadly, Californians bought the corporate propaganda hook, line and sinker, and voted it down by a whopping 61.7 percent, saying “no” to rent control.

Californian here. This statement is true only if 'corporate propaganda hook' means the recommendations of most reputable economists. There's ample evidence that rent control not only reduces housing stock but also fails to help people most in need of assistance. California has a serious housing crisis--there are people living under bridges in my town--but Prop 10 was not the answer. I hope the No vote will force some rethinking about a more comprehensive solution. I predict that proposition would pass by a large majority.
I figured it was something along those lines. Thank you for the detailed explanation!

You can plug an iPad into a giant external monitor using the lightning to HDMI cable, so really you directly just miss "lots of windows open at once".
Actually a good enough port of TinyEMU/RISC-V allowing for network communication and persistent storage would probably make the iPad interesting for me. Would Apple allow such a thing on the App Store? It would still have to be open source of course.

Fedora/RISC-V is dangerously close to being useful; the only apps I miss are a couple of the big hurdles: Firefox, GHC, and Java.
I should have phrased it better. Teenage me struggled, but I haven't attempted it since. Having said that, HSL/HSV worked well enough, and monitors now have better colour accuracy and wider colour gamut. Back then, people were still using "web-safe" colours.
For all the money the Adelsons poured into this House election, they didn't do so hot. They fought mostly for historically red districts, and from buys for CA-10, CA-39, CA-45, IL-12, IL-13, KS-2, MI-6, NC-2, NM-2, NY-19, NY-22, NV-3, VA-7, TX-7, and WI-1, they lost (or have probably lost) the CA-10, NM-2, NY-19, NY-22, NV-3, VA-7, and TX-7.

Similarly, this cycle was defined by an overwhelming fundraising advantage for Democrats. The Democrats did well, but they did not do well proportionately to their financial edge. There were races where we just dominated the GOP --- on the field, in the air, with endorsements, and all that backed by money --- and the GOP won anyways. Money helps, but it doesn't "decide" elections.

We’re talking about PAC spend, which doesn’t go directly to candidates. A billion in small donations to an issue-focused PAC is indistinguishable to a single $1 billion donation. It’s a billion dollars available to conduct advertising for the issue.
I know you're just using rhetoric and not thinking about those numbers carefully, but I think that if 100 million people contributed $10 to a single cause, that cause would run the table in American politics.
Google: a lot, most of their services has one. However, I believe they use an OAuth (-ish) service rather than session IDs to manage authentication, so cookies aren't really an issue.

YouTube: no major subdomains as far as I know.
Facebook: aside from developer resources (which require you to log on with Facebook), none really.

Baidu: not familiar with it, so no idea.

Wikipedia: one for every language. Furthermore, the Wikipedia of each language seems to be completely separate, both in content and accounts.

Reddit: a lot. Aside from the obvious api.reddit.com, users may use <whatever>.reddit.com and the subreddit's CSS may use this info to change the looks of the subreddit.

Instagram: no idea, but I believe the main interface is simply on instagram.com.

Netflix: just netflix.com.

Twitch: as far as I know just the main domain, no subdomains.

Spotify: a few services, like open.spotify.com and play.spotify.com, but they all require you log on separately.

It's pretty mixed, with some websites having a lot of subdomains, but not all of them requiring or using shared cookies.

the latter is that you own an IP and want to map it against your appengine.

the former is example.com -> appengine site.

Picketty discussed the relationship between wealth inequality and the world wars.

> If we logically extend your argument to include people in the rest of the world, then people in America will probably be as poor as them as well.

Why would you do that? The purpose of having countries is to have a limit on where the laws/policies apply to. In this case we're talking specifically about the US.

> Moreover, what would the environmental impact of such a policy be? Will we be consuming way more than what we are currently?

If anything, its likely to be better for the environment. I don't think income equality means that people will just be buying more stuff (although that is likely to happen to a certain extent, just not enough to have meaningful impact); the way it would look is access to better services like healthcare, education etc.
> that if the laptop uses significantly more power than what you'd expect from the TDP

You're falling into the "TDP is power input" trap.. TDP and power input are not the same. You can have a chip that takes less power to operate at a TDP equivalent to another chip which takes more power to operate.

Edit: There is no way that 100% of output power in a CPU is thermal, else it would be nothing but a very expensive heater. Also, CPUs do not operate in a closed environment, like those replying to me here seem to think.
Did i say anywhere that being a CEO or insanely rich is the trait to be develop ?

But CEO's don't exist because of some goal of human development. They exist because they fulfill a needed role, same as with any other job.
Storing arbitrary data in a cookie isn't a secure best-practice anyway. You shouldn't store actual data in cookies, just a meaningless token (aka session-id) that is used to look up session data on the server side. If you insist on using local storage, please be aware that it's unsuitable for storage of any sensitive data for the same security reasons that the httponly cookie flag exists.

Don't let your API elegance preferences be the only factor in your architecture design choices. Please consider security too as you may be putting your users at risk. Design choices in this area are more nuanced than you seem to be aware of.
Remember that in the US, as an employee/contractor you can sign whatever you want saying you are/are not a contractor and it’s completely worthless.

Rick and Morty: Rick's 'Secret' Backstory
"Creators Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland have stated that they conceived a backstory for Rick with no intention of ever revealing it, because they are of the opinion that too many shows "jumped the shark" by revealing too many details. However, they have admitted to putting in clues to one of Rick's dark secrets since the beginning, and later confirmed that a fan had correctly guessed the secret in an online forum. By a process of elimination, fans have been able to narrow it down to four fan theories: Rick is aware that he is a fictional character; Rick's constant drinking isn't alcoholism, he is drinking an extract that keeps him super-intelligent; Rick is actually an aged Morty who traveled back in time; and finally: Rick's 'original Morty' is dead, and has been replaced by a copy from a parallel dimension."
>Saying "Humans suck at estimating" is nonsense.

And yet it's the conclusion every major thinker (and practicer) in our field has come to (plus there's historical evidence from tons of mis-estimated projects, regardless of scope and budget).

So, whether does the idea that it's "a skill that can easily be improved" come from? Wishful thinking? I don't think the universe works that way.

Sure, you can learn to be less widely off. But you can't never learn to be regularly correct at estimating, or even close within a small margin.

At best, what happens is that quality get shitty and corners get cut, and you get the product at the correct deadline, but it's not the same that you wanted to ship before development started (even if the features are nominally there).
I wouldn't be so quick to call the tax/employment-regulation authorities villainous. The reason these regulations exist is to prevent employers from treating people who "should be" employees as contractors where they get fewer benefits.

The regulatory environment isn't set up to handle a situation where an employee would rather be a contractor, because that's relatively rare.

Ideally there would be some way to take the worker's preference into account, but things just aren't set up that way and so the assumption is that contractors need to be protected from employers who want to screw them.

In any individual case an employer could probably document an employee preference for a certain classification and be fine. But UpWork and state employment regulatory bodies are built for handling scale, so processes will tend towards working for the most common situations.

Why?
You didn’t answer the question. All you did is try to misdirect the discussion.

I think he has a valid question. I’m in the market for a replacement for my Onion Omega2’s, so I clicked the link. The fact that the product page is exclusively in Chinese does not make me confident.

Western bias? Maybe. But that doesn’t mean the concern isn’t valid. I’d worry if it was in Russian, too.
That only works if you regularly get similar projects.

Why do you think it would cost taxpayers extra money to lure Amazon to their city? Corporations and high-income skilled workers pay far more in taxes than they cost the city in public services. If someone pays $20k in local taxes and uses $5k worth of public services, you can give them a 50% tax break to lure them to the city and still make $5k off them.

> Maybe a simpler way to look at the issue is to ask why local governments don't pay people to move into their cities.

Vermont is doing that right now. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/01/us/vermont-moving-money.h... . The problem with that approach is that people usually move to where the jobs are, so paying corporations to move is more effective than paying people to do so.
I’m not sure that’s quite accurate.

If you just look at it through the lens of supply and demand, of course rent control is bad. But the real issues are more nuanced than that.

For example, a recent study from Stanford found that rent control reduces supply of housing by 15% and raises the income you need to move into the city; on the other side, that same study found that rent control helps protect people that live in the city already, which disproportionately helps people of color and lower income people.

There’s a few similar studies. There are definitely tradeoffs here, which depend on your own values.
