> Imagine if it were for everything. A third of Instagram would get fined...

It is actually, under a different federal agency for non-securities related advertisements.

The FTC already has ruled that people should at least put #ad on their posts, and has already fined influencers that didn't.

When securities are involved, all you have to do is mention how much you got paid to provide safe harbor from the federal securities regulator, and then to provide safe harbor from private securities litigants all you have to do is mention that you have no licenses and that the payment makes you unobjective. Bury it in line 30 of the Disclaimer. THERE, NOW ITS LEGAL

Currently instagram and some other social media sites don't have a good way to display long disclaimers, but you can get crafty in the stories, or in multi-slide posts.

Unfortunately, when it isn't clear that federal securities laws apply, you don't know if its just an FTC issue, or an SEC issue. So, we're getting there.

Curious. Is it avoidable? If you’re trying to teach people to be better and happier through a spiritual context, and they feel they are better and happier, how do you avoid being seen as someone divinely inspired?

I don’t think the Dalai Lama is a great example. He doesn’t do it out of choice but out of duty. It’s what a Dalai Lama is expected to do. They are believed to be the reincarnation of an enlightened person who represents compassion. He’s also the head of the exiled Tibetan state, so he probably will have people looking after him whether he likes it or not.
I'm not knowledgeable enough to talk about patents and corporations and prior art, but I did want to mention that that tech is really neat. As the parent of young kids, the intersection of storytelling, education and technology is fascinating to me, especially in the era of Youtubers and Netflix and other passive experiences.

Kudos for creating something engaging and interesting.

Does apple really need to make the quality and innovative products they've been know for? No, and they have a lot of money to survive for a long time even with completely incompetent leadership. But would giving up the company's core values that be the best thing to do for apple? Probably not.

Give this a watch and then ask yourself "why" would people still go out of their way to support Google as a company and its products.
I'm aware that this philosophy of education and grading exists, and it may well be superior, but it's not how things worked in any part of my education. Grades indicated how well you met the instructor's expectations. Most classes gave mostly As and Bs: if you weren't going to do well relative to the course, you wouldn't let it get to the point of a letter grade.

Instead the differentiation was between departments and courses. It was well understood that X majors were Y majors who couldn't hack it, and that within a major, certain classes were for high-achieving masochists while others were schedule padding. (This was crucial information, not just dick-measuring. You could easily put yourself in crisis by taking a class beyond your abilities, or multiple hard classes at once. Friends helped each other avoid such nightmares). If you asked me to evaluate a classmate's transcript, I wouldn't even look at their grades, only at the classes they allowed themselves to have grades in.

No one has ever asked me that, or to see my transcript.

I think you may've skipped a step.
I don't think you're quite right. The Bay Area is not a nation! It benefits from being part of the United States.

I also see no cogency in your oil example. Just because you need to process oil to put it to use, are you suggesting it has no value!? That seems wholly incorrect!

Anyway, I'm not here to argue. My bottom line is, India can and should be run better, because currently, it's run badly.
No, even without innate human nature / assuming tabula rasa, it makes logical sense, because we still cannot escape biology (yet). Women can only have kids when young, so youth is hugely important when men choose their partners, and is proxied by beauty. Women also invest much more than men into each kid (9 months of their life and a chance of dying), so it makes sense for them to seek men of wealth, status, power.

In other words, differences in preferences for choosing sexual partners follow directly (logically) from sexual dimorphism, nothing else required, and are thus in a sense “correct”.
No VPN:

- ISP has your name and history. The AdTech knows your IP's history, and most likely your Id.

VPN:

- VPN has your history, but no name (paid via voucher), and is other country's legal entity. My ISP only knows I'm using some VPN service (DoT enabled on my router). The AdTech is missing key identifier, IP, to link your data together (to aggregate).

> ISP your VPN uses which knows everything

Both ISPs know squat, just encrypted traffic from my real IP

I get the sense that there's a lot of embittered-male, "rubbing it in" type comments in this thread. Mixed-gender communities seem to have much more balanced and meaningful discussions for these kinds of topics: https://www.metafilter.com/171539/I-did-everything-you-said-...
I've thought for a minute when looking at that option, and couldn't think of why I wouldn't want it, so turned it on. IDK if it misses anything but seems to be working pretty good, judging by messages in the console.

It's rather aggressive, even: blocks Yandex's maps embedded on other sites (though iirc doesn't block Google's maps).
Yeah that is why it supports a subset of CLOS.
Interestingly enough, Isaac Asimov pioneered the Sci-Fi detective story. Read somewhere that Campbell thought it couldn’t be done since it requires explaining technology and would ruin the reader’s enjoyment.

Spoiler: Chekov’s Gun, and the assumption that new technologies are so seemless as to be unnoticeable or rarely commented on.
I’m interested in pulsar but also wary of it. On paper it sounds like an amazing system, the benefits of kafka without the downsides. But if it is that good, why isn’t it used more?

It is... really weird. I think it might be related to how the boss will be more respectful to you after you successfully negotiate a raise.

Like normal people are somehow wired to treat more expensive people better than less expensive people. The immediate explanation is that normal people are kind of jerks?

I mean, I'll put up with more shit for a lot more money... but that's not how it works. As I've gotten paid better, every step of the way, I got treated better in other ways, too. And that expectation is built in everywhere.
This sounds like a whataboutism. Harder to be outraged about something which is a status quote for a long time. Difference between MS & Google is that here are talking about an active present change in the wrong direction.
Firefox on Android @ 1440p also does this. I'd say it is because they are using svg for the images and the "pixels" are each separate rects. Just a guess, cannot look at the source rn.

Smalltalk is dynamic and Java is static.

Smalltalk, it is an experience, given that language, IDE and runtime/OS are all blended together, while Java can only do so much, even with the more advanced IDEs.

Clojure might be a reaction to C++/Java/C# OOP style, but it surely adopts Common Lisp OOP style.
Wouldn't it better for Google and the world if they instead worked on new technologies/protocols to bypass censorships?

You need to make sure you have enough samples in order to know if you rejected the null hypothesis by chance. Stopping your test early, is a form of p-hacking. See:

In US law a) it's duck-typed and b) the relevant question is "Is the pitch to the buyer 'Purchase this thing and, through another person's efforts, you will make money.'? Then it's almost always a security."

Quoting Marine Bank v. Weaver:

> The definition of "security" in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is quite broad. The Act was adopted to restore investors' confidence in the financial markets, and the term "security" was meant to include "the many types of instrument that, in our commercial world, fall within the ordinary concept of a security." The statutory definition excludes only currency and notes with a maturity of less than nine months. It includes ordinary stocks and bonds, along with the "countless and variable schemes devised by those who seek the use of the money of others on the promise of profits. Thus, the coverage of the antifraud provisions of the securities laws is not limited to instruments traded at securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets, but extends to uncommon and irregular instruments. We have repeatedly held that the test "'is what character the instrument is given in commerce by the terms of the offer, the plan of distribution, and the economic inducements held out to the prospect.'"

The formal definition:

> The term “security” means any note, stock, treasury stock, security future, security-based swap, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness, certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing agreement, collateral-trust certificate, preorganization certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other mineral rights, any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege on any security, certificate of deposit, or group or index of securities (including any interest therein or based on the value thereof), or any put, call, straddle, option, or privilege entered into on a national securities exchange relating to foreign currency, or, in general, any interest or instrument commonly known as a “security”, or any certificate of interest or participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or purchase, any of the foregoing.
My personal conclusions:

- Google can't be trusted on anything to do with building responsible AI (they violated ACM Code of Ethics and their own AI at Google Principles).

- Google has no authority to talk about ethical use of technology and human resources. The main manager responsible for this kerfuffle brands himself as promoting diversity and responsible use of technology.

- Google can't lay claim to being a transparent company, both to its users and outsiders, and to its employees and insiders. Even Larry Page was blissfully unaware of this controversial project that directly goes against his motivations for leaving China in the first place.

- When you go work for Google, you'll have colleagues and managers that won't speak up if they get to work on another unethical project. That will eschew core values for making their stock options grow. That want to build their own empire and positive performance reviews at all cost (even if this costs Google dearly in PR and culture damage).

- Google can't be trusted to be self-regulating, putting the user first, and to clean up any damage done from a top-level ethics violation. There is no objective ethics commission or employee Ombudsman to keep the bulls in check.

- There are more than a few rotten apples in the upper echelons of Google. Perhaps such $$-eyes behavior is rewarded by growing the ranks and internal opposition is seen as a necessary evil to be managed.
Fork the repository and maintain the extension yourself. I know, it's a hassle and only possible for programmers, but...
Can somebody tdlr everybody why this is needed in addition to the official container extension?
Spotlight on Helm
I don't know about Namecheap, but I'd suspect the banks use proprietary solutions for the standard 2 reasons:
1) Something expensive feels more secure. The 50yo farts in suits are the ones making the decisions, not the devs who actually know why open standards are inherently more secure.
2) They have someone to blame when something goes wrong. If they implement TOTP insecurely and data gets stolen, they're on the hook. If RSA (or whoever else) screws up, the bank can point their finger at them since their programmers are usually the ones who do the integration.
It does seem odd to stick with an intellectual property system that is so obviously deficient in it's stated purpose of "improving the useful arts and sciences". Current patent law amounts to a barrier to entry for most small potential competitors in any market where defensible IP is required. Big companies can cross-license or litigate around issues but small players are locked out of the markets they might want to compete in because the costs are prohibitive. Yet another example of the American system having failed to protect competition and encouraging cartelisation.
that only covers some 3% of all available extension's capabilities. namely: ad blockers.
If you look at commercial tooling for Common Lisp, they can do a little more than plain old Emacs.
If it's really an ego boosting problem the solution is easy: add some new fancy but cheap feature, double the price, enjoy the new customers and the high margins.
I don't really care about the guard rails. I grew up in Perl (pre-strictures and warnings), and BASIC was the first language I ever built something in, so I'm not too fussed about things always feeling a bit loose, and having to defend yourself with tests and imposing some rules on yourself by convention.

While I think it's likely that having a stricter language is more likely to produce better software, especially as complexity grows, I don't think it has a huge impact on whether the language is "easy to learn" for me. Python is very lax (contrary to popular belief, Perl with strict/warnings is stricter than Python, and protects you against a wide variety of scope-related bugs, in particular) but I consider it an easy language, too, because it is consistent and small(ish). There's some kind of balance to be struck between elegance and simplicity, and between explicitness and concision, and Rust feels very good, so far. I don't think that balance will be the same for everyone.

JavaScript, to me, is hard just because it's so damned big and incoherent. It's been pulled in twelve directions at once for its entire life, and it shows. JavaScript is like a buffet that has Chinese food, Indian food, pizza, sushi, and tacos. Most of the food isn't very good, but there's a lot to choose from. It doesn't help that learning JavaScript also entails trying to make sense of the maelstrom of tooling that's available. While Rust has one clear path for beginners, JavaScript has a haunted corn maze.
> If it's ADHD, behavioral therapy isn't super effective, unfortunately (at least according to research I've seen).

I'm surprised by that impression as my understanding was that it was "generally accepted" that a combination of therapy and medication was more effective in treating ADHD than either alone.
They never see the dad bod as a sexual thing, it's more a symbol of other traits that the man brings to a relationship. Traits that are very important to a woman looking to start a family. The 'hot body' will still be their sexual choice but it's a trade-off.

> This is hand-waved away because, I guess, consistency is boring and user expectations are low or irrelevant.

It's probably handwaved away because Facebook finds eventual consistency plus pubsub for updates to be good enough most of the time, and wants to shift the memory and CPU costs of calculating JOINs into the easily scalable GraphQL layer instead of the data store.
Fast.ai probably. And MIT 18.06 linear Algebra with Gilbert Strang is also pretty awesome
But the only capability I need from an extension :)
- Regardless of all this, most people will still use Google Search & GMail for critical information and gain most of their entertainment and research from YouTube. They will also click on Google ads and watch videos on YouTube without ad-blockers. They'll use Google Fi or Nexus phones, will use Android OS on other hardware, and Chromebooks.

In other words, all of those things you comment on are true but ultimately meaningless. Google is not going to change because the users do not care. They care only about their own lives - when Google harms them, they may make a token effort to move away from the platform, but they'll come back.
Sorry, the comment was more that behavioral therapy _alone_ is very ineffective according to a lot of research out there. Granted, the funders of such research are... well...

If you have to chose one or the other, medication will be much more powerful, but the combo is the best. But trying to fight ADHD with just CBT is a massive uphill battle once described to me as "asking someone who needs glasses to see to train their way to better vision"
Who cares if she lied?
There are plenty of things not worth A/B testing, and even if you did, it’s unclear what was the mechanism that made one succeed over the other. (It’s probably just chance.) Marissa Mayer and her 40 shades of blue[0] is a perfect example. In this case, the A/B teat wasn’t science, but rather scientism.

"Best" these days is all about sensory stimulation to the max. Over-stimulation till you feel like you need to go sit some where quiet to calm yourself down.

So if I know you are going to feel pain/love/respect/fear/doubt based on certain triggers and I am competing against others who are triggering you the same way what are my options?

Turn the dials up on all the triggers. Maximize stimulation as much as possible. This is happening from porn to sports to politics to news to games. To TV.

But when everyone is doing it you start seeing the patterns. There aren't that many. The dictionary of all possible patterns is more or less complete.

The cancellation is for the same reason, they can't really keep making more Star Wars or Avengers or Harry Potter movies for too much longer because they have exhausted all possible ways in which one guy can kill another guy. The audience has seen it all.

They just have to start again with a new different looking slate to produce the same stimulation.
My nitpick is that "tradable" is non-central to the definition, even though most things that people think of as securities are both tradable in theory and have active markets in them.

A security without an active market in it? Still a security. A security which can't be traded even theoretically? Still a security.

A reason to make this nitpick is that promoters sometimes use "Oh this is just a commercial relationship between business partners and we're locking you into it in all sorts of interesting ways; therefore, we're not offering a security" as an argument. The government takes a dim view of it. (This was a major issue in the fractional orange groves case.)
It does trip a lot of “turn off your ad blocker” nag screens.
I get where you are coming from but attraction is still a thing. I'm a guy and for me, physical attraction is a minimum standard that loses value after the minimum is met. Once someone reaches the standards for the physical attraction I value other traits vastly more. These physical standards aren't even all that hard to meet if someone looks after themselves.
I don't think this is necessarily true any more, since WebExtensions. I think human reviews are only necessary if extensions use certain constructs.

(Or human reviews are now allowed after publishing when an extension passes automated review - I'm not sure.)
So you're saying one person you like is honest. And that Google's great at privacy and ethics, except in the cases when they're caught not being great?

Thank you so much for your contribution to the current situation.

> If their day consisted of outdoor free play, they wouldn't actually be learning

Are you serious? You think that young children don’t learn from free play? What in the world is your definition of “learning”?

> how much the teacher needs to [..] test for

Oh I see. You mean “learning” as judged exclusively by standardized multiple-choice tests.

Well fine, it’s not exactly surprising that if we force children to spend 5+ hours per day sitting in rows in desks working independently filling out busywork worksheets or watching teachers solve similar trivial exercises on a whiteboard, they will be better at doing the same thing for arbitrary test points than someone who hasn’t spent any time practicing that, even if both kids think the test is a pointless waste of time.... but that doesn’t really indicate anything at all about children’s abilities more generally.

If we instead measured the kids’ balance, strength, running speed, hand-eye coordination, intuitive understanding of physics, ability to improvise mechanical devices from found objects, knowledge of local plants and animals, emotional self-understanding and self-control, negotiation and bargaining skills, social organization/leadership, .... we would find that the professional worksheet-fillers are years behind their playing peers.

Some of the most capable (even at book-smarts) people I ever met were absolutely horrid throughout school, but then did amazing things after. Others never went to school at all and still did amazing things. Others I know aced every test right up through college, and then had no idea what to do afterward, because they had never really been forced to think for themselves.

Getting children to be as successful as possible at multiple-choice tests at age 8 is not a good top priority for the education system.
