> I suspect they will drop US debt like a hot potato

I mean they suddenly decide that the asset they bought in trillions as safest investment available around is suddenly worthless - and not only try to hide it, but actually loudly proclaim that all their holding are worthless (I imagine so that it would be easier to sell them at the best price?) I don't see China doing something like that. First, they would need to find a reason why US debt has become worse investment than yesterday - and second, even if they find this reason, they won't ever "drop it like hot potato" - that would be a suicide (in Chinese conditions, probably a literal one for somebody that would cause such loss of billions to the state).

> If China dumped a trillion dollars of US financial instruments at firesale prices over the course of a year, that would cause a lot of mayhem.

Why would they? Other than collective insanity, there'd be no reason for such behavior.

> These scooters (despite their benefit) are ultimately taking money out of the community (if they’re profitable) and they’re budgeting for loss and damage, so why not let the kids play on them and damage them?

This is pretty much the same argument as people who litter at ball games and then say "The cleaning crew will pick it up. That's their job."
Security is not too difficult on a decent network. There are several that meet Federal requirements. The problem is that the Web design was leaky in the first place. The companies that specified it wanted free flowing data above all else with authenication behind the firewall. But the W3c browser is not secure. Tim's comments notwithstanding, this occurred on his watch. We're due for a serious network, not another toy.
Pretty much, because that's the only productivity that the U.S. government can effectively tax.

Goodreads Choice Awards: A reminder that critics and readers don’t often agree
There are so many things wrong with youtube such as accountability, standards and advertising value. These problems get even weirder when kids are involved.

Obviously the reason this kid is making 22m is because other kids are watching. Which isn't bad. This kid basically won the lottery and good for him.

But then you have things like elsagate which is/was (idk if it's over) so weird. I still don't know what the hell was going on there. I can only assume that, once again, kids are mindlessly watching these videos and that's fairly disturbing.

Also I am curious about what people that buy ad spots on youtube think about the fact that a lot of the views they're paying for are kids that won't care about products like their makeup or adult oriented products/services.

As a cyclist, I'm hopeful that these bike/scooter/wheel-shares programs will force governments to examine their plans for keeping people safe. More low-speed travel lanes for bikes, scooters, one-wheels, hoverboards, etc. Keep the sidewalks for walking and wheelchairs.

Otherwise we are sure to end up like China in these photos:

This is an example where they decided their business model trumped user security. It’s hard to monetize an easy to access collection of free data. I hope we can find better ways to fund internet services than by consuming data from the users.
Linux is not dominated by a single company. Developers working for many companies contribute heavily to it, but as long as Linus Torvalds is at the helm, it is unlikely to be dominated by any one of them. So you don’t have to worry about the Linux Kernel tracking every keystroke to harvest data for adverts.

There is a good reason why the Kardashians are incredibly successful. They are able to convince their viewers they are part of the family with their shows. I think its because you feel included since most of the show is back-and-forth gossip on family issues where its common for the people in the scene to try and find a solution to a problem where the problem person is excluded from the conversation. As a result, I think the viewer feels more welcome than even one of their family members.

Once hooked, the kardashians make bank because they can sell their fans laxative teas or hair growth gummy bears on instagram through huge ad endorsements

Extremely dangerous? Just so I can calibrate my understanding, what are a couple of other things you consider extremely dangerous?

For me, extremely dangerous means high risk of death or grievous body harm. Something like 100 micromorts per exposure. I want to ensure I'm not underrating this.
Only if money is their primary concern.

The US went to war with Iraq and it cost trillions. If China wanted to undermine the US economy and it only costs a few trillion in bad debt it's a bargain if it achieves that goal.
The problem is that Steam is getting so filled with games (often of poor quality) that there simply isn't enough 'visibility' to go around.

The platform cannot handle the volume of games being added.

The question is: what is the correct number of new games, and how can that number be reached most efficiently?

I'd propose that the platform can digest about 70 new games each week, which is the number of slots on the 'new and trending' page. Currently, there are 205 launching each week (and growing), so there would need to be a reduction to 34% of the current level.

Curation is just not going to work with that volume. The overhead is too high.

Its clear instead that the $100 Steam Direct fee is too low. If we want to encourage professional-quality games (even from one person), this fee does not represent that level of quality.

I really think Valve should increase the Steam Direct fee to $500 - test it out, and see if that makes a meaningful impact by decreasing the total number of launches but increasing average quality. The $500 could still be recouped to the creator at a certain sales level.

To me the greater shame is the professional game launched to few sales, leading to the permanent exit of that creator from the industry, and perhaps their financial ruination, rather than a higher fee meaning a few less school kids and hobbyists uploading their weekend project.

All of this is poison to discuss online though, because many of the people filling the comments section on Steamworks and Reddit are the people who would be filtered out if the Steam Direct fee was increased.

Otherwise if the status quo continues, legitimate developers will face far higher advertising and PR costs (and time). If I could pay $500 or $5000 to launch on a much less cluttered and supportive Steam store, I would gladly pay that. This is the advantage that the consoles still have, and the success rates there are much higher because of the higher upfront costs and efforts keeping out low-effort content.
The trouble comes if they're not the same DLLs. Chromium updates often enough that there's lots of different versions you can bundle.
The writing was on the wall when Microsoft release Windows Server 2019 - and announced it won't support Edge. Thinking of every corporate that's going to be using this new OS for RDS and Citrix farms, not shipping with Edge said they weren't going for the corporate market. Which happens to have been their biggest market.
This is defined here: https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/b3349d5b1354df8...

Specifically, a supported release is one which will receive patch updates (e.g. for security flaws or other issues).

If you do not use a "supported version", you'll have to scramble to update or backport patches yourself if you're hit by a serious issue that is fixed upstream.

Buster – Firefox addon for solving captcha challenges
Wow, this article is pretty amazing to me. I have a joke (err, kind of a joke) that I like to say, "It's never a cosmic ray." What I mean by that is that when you are debugging and getting incredibly frustrated, right when you feel that you want to give up because you can't find the bug, that you shouldn't blame "cosmic rays" because 99.999% of the time it's a logic problem.

Here was a case where it actually was cosmic rays (at least, not a logic problem), and these guys found it. I also agree with the title and intro of the article - I think it's very possible that if these 2 exact people hadn't been at Google at the time than Google's path could have been very different. Makes me also appreciate how much luck is involved in any successful indeavor. Not luck that they found the bug (that was hard work), but luck that these 2 guys found themselves working at Google right when Google needed them.

I don't see what's wrong with them taking up parking space. Considering mean occupancy of cars in America, the street parked scooter is doing just as well in serving one individual as a street parked car. In fact, I'd argue we should remove more parking spots and switch them to scooter spots.
The team at Amazon has already figured out how to have it whisper back to you if you whisper at it. Seems like it would be easy to run that backwards.
I use Firefox as my desktop browser and love it, but I generally use Chrome in Android for mobile browsing; seeing this stat was discouraging, so I just now switched to Firefox for Android.

The [-] collapse buttons for these threads are weirdly a lot more difficult to click (specifically, register a press with your finger) than in Chrome... Anyway, I think committing to FireFox is more important so I can deal with it.
Safari and Chrome are closely related.

You've used these, right? It's an enormous pain to have to spin up a separate VM per version of Edge/IE to get a "Your copy of Windows might be stolen" message and have some finite period of time to test.

I can test the other browsers without doing this dance.

> No? If you tried to park a car on the sidewalk you will get towed.

This is disingenuous. It ignores all the externalities of car friendly cities that you're taking for granted. Busy streets are wider with more lanes, crosswalks are more inconvenient and take longer to cross. Half of the width of narrow streets is dominated by parking, not to mention all of the unsightly lots and parking garages.

Scooters don't cost millions/billions in real estate for parking. They can't use and don't require expensive freeway onramps. They don't cause massive congestion and the corresponding drop in local air quality. All in all I think if you want to compare externalities, scooters win by far over cars, and it's not even close.
That's not my experience with Ryan's Toy Review videos.

But how would that situation be any different in the presence of some kind of system Chromium install provided by MS?

Chromium updates often, so you don't want to run your client-side JS against any other Electron version than the one you wrote it for because they change APIs frequently, so you'll still have one set of DLLs for each needed Electron version.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but if testing on your browser means downloading a 4GB+ image every couple months and having it take up all my memory in a clunky VM and messing around with how it gets its IP and then trying to update itself with another multi-gigabyte windows update while I'm tethering and did I mention you have to redo it all every couple of months?... then I'm not testing against your browser.
You don't. Sorry to say it, but there is no audience for those kind of games. It just doesn't sell itself from the screenshots.

There needs to be a higher Steam Direct fee to gatekeep out products which are non-commercial. Its much better if people decide to just not make a game, rather than launching it and finding out much later that their time was wasted.

A $500 - $2000 Steam Direct fee would accomplish that.
This makes me sad. Of the big browsers, firefox is the one that respects the user the most.

Well ten years ago kids were mindlessly watching cartoons on TV, which probably had just as much advetisement. The main difference with YouTube, I figure, is that the money is mainly going to content creators rather than TV executives.

On the other hand, the recommended video feed is something akin to heroin for the brain, so giving kids unbridled access to YouTube is probably not the best parenting strategy

> "I founded Udacity so that everyone in the world could get a chance for an education."

Why do so many companies feel the need to have a mission to improve the world? Seems disingenuous. There are already superior learning resources obtainable for free (I am aware Udacity offers some free courses). Udacity is not helping anyone get an education out of the generosity of their hearts, they aren't KhanAcademy.

Udacity's only real service is offering the intellectual proletariat who lack the will to read spoonfed information.
Regarding #5, you get used to it. It's intense at first, but after a while, it's just normal. One secret is to take actual breaks. And another is to not over-work.

Udacity essentially failed in reaching its base goal: becoming an university capable of issuing bachelors degrees, via the mooc teaching method.
