Same, but I gave up. You can't make people care if they genuinely don't.

I noticed that Americans and part of Europeans (mostly Germans I believe but probably others as well) perceive leaks of personally identifiable information as outrageous but everybody I know here in Eastern Europe are indifferent. Unless they lose money or their company gets a negative PR, they could not care less.
It's the main mechanism in JS to define functional accessors, at least since ECMA-Script 3. Before this, the terms have been used loosely, as well, for explicit accessor methods (like in Java).

[Edit] Correction: should have been, at least since ECMA-262 5th Ed.

Having run into some of these issues I can confirm that Amazon's appeal process is very accurately described as Kafkaesque

Sampling of situations that either happened to me or I have direct knowledge of:

Suspension for listing an authentic product, because the brand was listed slightly differently (think "acme products" vs "acme"). Took a week and two appeals to get reinstated

Suspension for changing bank account information (have heard many such cases - they flag it as fraud but instead of just putting payments on hold, they block all listings until resolved)

Suspensions claiming account is related to another account that's blocked. No information is given and seller is unaware of any other accounts it might be linked to

Suspension for inauthentic product. Even after invoices showing all products in question were provided, Amazon decides to ignore everything, steals the inventory valued in the 7 digits and keeps the money as well

Suspension for selling expired product. Turns out Amazon had found the product in their warehouse and decided to add it to sellers inventory, sell it, get complaints and then blame it on the seller. (Seriously. Ask anybody selling volume groceries on Amazon. Amazon is shockingly incompetent at tracking dates).

Product blocked due to false complaint by brand owner. Reinstated after sending an invoice proving authenticity. Repeat a few dozen times (sending the same exact invoice each time).

Plus one not directly related to performance but scummy behavior anyway: Amazon starts selling a product and all of a sudden blocks third party sellers from selling it. Sometimes I've had 5-6 figures of inventory get blocked this way. Makes it really difficult to run a business when they act capriciously.

I bought a libreCMC router [1] from Think Pinguin [2] years ago. The firmware is well maintained [3]. The IRC support has been excellent when needed. It is by no means a high end router, but I did not purchase it with that expectation to begin with. Overall, I have been super happy with it.

It's not even Zuckerberg's business plan. Sheryl Sandberg was brought in to make Facebook profitable, she instituted the data selling systems.
If management sets up a system which intentionally results in untruths being told to customers ...?
Because I assume they use Google/Amazon cloud services which are designed for 99.99999999% durability, just as I assume they often make backups (it's not like it would be expensive for them to backup mailing lists every hour or so).

If they went out of business then I would also assume they would give customers at least several months to export their mailing lists.

Edit: for some reason I'm not allowed to post new comments (presumably because of the downvotes to my other comments), so I'll just reply here: Would it be naive/fraudulent to promise the same durability as the storage service you're using? After all you're just feeding the data to their service through their API. I of course wouldn't promise this kind of up-time, but once the data is successfully saved then I fail to see why it would be wrong to make such claims. Assuming you also made regular backups of the data you feed to their services (which I certainly hope MailChimp do) then you can be even more confident that the data won't be lost. If Google/Amazon banned the accounts storing the mailing lists then I'm sure it could be recovered, especially by a company of MailChimps size.
For SEO don’t write short articles (>2000 words)

Just more vague tips that maybe worked for him and won't for most. i have several articles on my own blog/website that are over 4000 words and all original content. Want to guess how much search engine traffic they get? Z-e-r-o
The structure of the article is a bunch of definitions that build off of prior definitions, and I think it's best to just view the definitions as applying within the article and overriding any external existing definitions. It's a little unfortunate and unsettling the two of the early definitions (getter and setter) already mean something else in JS, but the terminology choice is trivial in a certain sense and doesn't affect the concepts laid out in the article.

I did find it confusing at first, though. Maybe it could have used a disclaimer, or maybe the author should have chosen different terms (maybe "producer" instead of "getter" and "consumer" instead of "setter"?). I also find it unintuitive to call console.log a "setter", and "consumer" feels better to me.
My thoughts exactly. I don't know anyone who is obsessing over this "Tragic Fall of Facebook" (except maybe some shareholders). There are some big headlines, but there's a constant barrage of articles don't say anything new.

It's probably some old giants of media behind the attack, but I wouldn't be too surprised if FB is relishing in the controversy. It throttles their growth for a bit, but they won't seem like such a Goliath to regulators. They can make some compromises ("We won't let foreign IP Addresses post politically-motivated advertisements"); divert attention away from the data mining; and make one big, symbolic gesture in an emergency ("Mark Zuckerberg will step down as CEO... but will keep boardroom seat and serve in figurative role")
Not really, I mean Bernie Sanders is not a Socialist since he doesn't want to nationalize any industries which is really the sine qua non of socialism. He is a Social Democrat. Actual socialists usually identify as Leftists instead of Liberals.
That's just not the reality of it. You can't blame the young engineers, they simply don't understand what is going on and are eager to prove themselves. Also, anything at this large of a company is compartmentalized to the point that you might not even truly know what you are working on. The leadership however fully knows what is being done.
I know that this article is fiction, but there's a common misconception about the Dunning-Kruger effect presented in the story that is worth understanding. People think that Dunning and Kruger showed that less competent people think that they're more competent than more competent people think they are, but this is not what Dunning and Kruger showed, if you'll excuse the complicated sentence construction (the article linked below has a graph and explains this a bit better).

Actually, Dunning and Kruger simply showed that a person's estimate of their own skill tends to be closer to the mean, plus a little than their actual skill level.

The Dunning-Kruger effect has probably been a bit distorted because we like the idea that thinking you are good at something is evidence that you are not, in fact, good at that thing.

Yes, I agree, but your bit: " because the North American liberals are neither of those two." I inferred as liberal in the sense of what people are called, whereas I guess you meant to imply classical liberal, which I guess would be 'Libertarian' but even that label doesn't apply well in the US as it's a fairly populist movement.
Email.

It lets you have private and group chats, organize events, share photos and links, keep contact lists, etc. I know is hard to see, but email is quite sexy: it is decentralized and vastly adopted, more so than FB. It works on every platform and it's been around for a long time. And it's not going anywhere. It's the dream of all the anarco-crpyto-hackers and it already exists! Sometimes it's hard to see the obvious.

And I think email could still be vastly improved by better clients. It just so happens that there is currently no big economic incentive to create one.

I believe that we are still in the very early moments of the Internet, and we are collectively doing a lot of stupid shit. Like the first few decades of synthesizer music. We have to go through some silly stages before getting back to our senses and developing some taste.

"In case that wasn’t sarcasm: you probably don’t want to run your browser in this, since it already has a sandbox and you’ll have a measurable performance penalty by running in a virtual machine."

Actually, what I do want to do more than anything in this sphere is run browsers in a VM. The account containers in firefox is not enough.

This would work without performance penalty if you could chroot jail a gui application. There's almost no overhead in a jail - it's not a full blown VM, just a different chroot.

Here is the best recipe so far:

> In order to improve the experience for RHEL 8 users, we have moved the Python used by the system “off to the side”

This was a good move.

> we came to the tough conclusion, don’t provide a default, unversioned Python at all. Ideally, people will get used to explicitly typing python3 or python2.

This seems like a principled stance, one I can agree with. But it's probably one RHEL will suffer for. I think they have a lot of share for the enterprise linux marketplace (maybe #1 or #2?), so maybe they can afford it. RHEL customers should dust off their Python2 source and seriously consider migrating to straddle both 2 and 3 for now. Although the fact that RHEL8 provides ten years of Python 2 support means that they're unlikely to feel that pressure any time soon.
I thought I read somewhere that ads make a blog seem more authoritative so I disagree about not having ads.
Way I think of it is more of a design-decision.

If I am comfortable with a more powerful typed language, it can do so much of the heavy-lifting for me, i.e: I used PureScript for a toy project and using type-directed search and type-safe routing and json deserialization was awesome.

I would put Elm and ReasonML/Ocaml into simmilar bucket (maybe even haskell with ghcjs and its reflex-frp library :)

On the other hand I would rather write pure javascript than try to compile golang to wasm (even though I know of people that are happy with that :)

I have no strong opinion on typescript.

Disclaimer: I have never had to maintain any web-page I wrote, all of them were toy project and I writhe python and go backend-services at work :D
I agree that your problem is much harder than it should be and I think it is due to the format() filter not being fit for use in map().
Nevertheless here are 3 versions how you could solve this problem in Jinja2:

{{ list | map('regex_replace', '(.*)', '\\1:443') | join(',') }}
{{ list | zip_longest([], fillvalue='443') | map('join', ':') | join(',') }}
{% for item in list %}{{item}}:443{%- if not loop.last %},{%- endif %}{%- endfor %}

I wish the following would be possible:

{{ list | map('format', '%s:443') | join(',') }}
We don't know the exact messages. If the poster asked for a copy of his data and was told it was deleted, then yes, that was a lie (although possibly the person sending the message genuinely might not have known better, which puts the fault more nebulously at "the company"). If they asked why their account was gone and the response said "all data has been deleted" without offering a copy of it, it's just bad service.

(Although given privacy regulations, it's a bad sign if a support agent can't give a precise answer about data stored or at least know not to make unchecked claims about it)
I started a website in 2005 that is still in operation today. We started out posting 1-2 articles per week, I had a lot of spare time then. But that rate was unsustainable with our small team and small budget, and we reached a point of burnout, and had to decide whether to slow down or shut down. After a hiatus to mentally recuperate, we opted to continue writing, though publishing less often and digging deeper into the stories.

The results of this change of format are mixed. On the one hand, it now feels like quite an accomplishment when we wrap up research, writing, fact-checking, recording (podcast version), sound design, illustrations, etc. And most readers/listeners seem happier than ever with the quality of the content. But on the other hand, our rankings in Google have fallen considerably to sites that post frequent, low-effort content. The gatekeepers seem to prefer the pap.

Additionally, there are a minority of readers/listeners who are outright hostile about our reduced output. Just as an example, I received this via email a few days ago:

You are the laziest website on the internet. If I was to succumb to your nag messages and give you money, you would just waste it. This isn't really a real website, and it has no reason to exist. Give up and shut down. A website isn't worth visiting if it looks the same every 6 months someone visits. Just put a bullet it in already and end its pain. You failed. Just call time-of-death, already. Or, whatever, die slowly of cancer... It's not like your life amounts to anything...

So, while I agree that deeper content is "better", it has its drawbacks.

Yep, this is still mostly doomsaying and nothing much else. While all of the objections against Facebook are valid in my eyes -- and in the eyes of many others -- the truth is that the regular folk views Facebook as an utility, akin to having power, hot water and internet at home.

This will not change overnight. Or even after several years. If Facebook fades into irrelevance it will likely be a death by a million paper cuts and not after a short-lived revolution.

Since we don't have a mind-reading machine, by that logic, we can conclude that no statement can be proven to be a lie.

After all, how can we know what an alleged liar is really thinking?
Yes, because their entire business model is built around email marketing, and despite not using MailChimp then they're as far as I know the biggest player. Give me a couple of hours and then I can guarantee 99.999999% durability for almost no cost through Google/Amazon services. I would be very sad if MailChimp can't gaurantee the same.

Edit since I can't reply: We're talking about durability of their mailing lists, not uptime. At least that's my intention. That Google/Amazon or MailChimp might experience downtime doesn't have any impact on the durability promises. I would also expect MailChimp (rather than all their customers) to do regular backups.
I didn't say it was impacted in that case.

Interesting, looks like that might be possible after all, though the docs are a bit unclear how this would work from Lambda specifically, and it looks like it needs a NAT regardless. Guess I misunderstood the docs at the time. (This ties into my comment about inexperience being our largest mistake. :))

Clearing Up a Few Things About Facebook’s Partners
Now the intro has changed, I'm unsure what you are asking for. If you need funding, either bootstrap or find a co-founder who has the social capabilities you need to raise funds. Bootstrapping is lot easier IMO, and carries less risk.

If you are funded and want to market/sell your product, get a sales person (part time, perhaps). Cold calling (whether by email or phone) requires a specific set of skills and very thick skin. If that's not you, delegate.

If you have no choice but to cold-email, use Linked In so that they are targeted and get a marketing person's advice on how to phrase those initial contacts so you have a good hook.
(NB all the above is generic business startup advice, the same advice applies to anyone: identify the critical weaknesses; backfill from elsewhere.

No, this false equivalency is something that Big Tech have created now that they are looking at the very real possibility of regulation. Please don't propagate this disingenuous and self-serving bit of economic nationalism for these companies.

Agreed, regardless of whether the rep can see it or not, they should be trained properly and reply that they no longer have access to the data, and that access would require an escalation of some sort. To simply say the data is gone is a straight up lie.

I'd say yes to most of them. It doesn't take more than high-school level of education and a nonzero interest in how things work to be able to evaluate such blurbs for consumer products and services. I may find myself lost when dealing with specialized products and services for areas I have zero experience with, but in those cases I try to completely ignore any information from product vendors, and read up on recommendations from communities in the area (a good starting point is usually /r/$area).

It is definitely a scandal, 99% of the users generally approving TOSes/permission request screens (including myself) have no idea what it's in there, we generally rely on the goodwill of the companies that wrote out those TOSes/permission request screens.

This is such a strange and annoying compromise to make. It's somewhat antithetical to the concept of RHEL versions being a standardized set of packages such that when someone says "I have RHEL 7", you can say "My software will work on that".

Now in order to support RHEL 8, you have to tell them to also have their sys admin install your preferred python.

A better and less bespoke to RHEL solution imo would have been to make an anaconda install or virtualenv the default python for each user.
