I've argued something similar but not identical, which is that Google wanted to commoditise container platforms to stop AWS from moving further ahead. Scorch the earth, basically. That's what I meant by strategy guiding allocations. Google put their shoulder to the wheel with people, funding and sustained PR.

But that's still different from the day-to-day goings-on being discussed here. The fate of Kustomize is not the stuff grand strategy. My argument is addressed to that level.
It's been 30 years since I worked in a restaurant, but at that particular place the waitstaff received tips and split them according to some formula. I think busboys got 10%, not sure if or how much went to the bartender or anyone "back of house" in the kitchen.

In any case, the owner's revenue is based on the menu pricing; if the owner wants more then the prices get raised. For anyone else, the expectation is likely to be that tips go through the server and are divided from there if they're divided at all. Don't stress too much about tipping the other staff unless someone's gone far above and beyond.
It's really not clear at all that Musk did anything other than get in the way.

> What the article meant was that the 90% tax rate was on paper, but people didn't pay it because they structured their income into tax shelters to avoid paying it.

This is also true with a 39.6% top marginal rate.

The specific structuring methods have changed with tax policy (which has not all been closing loopholes; new favorable tax options available primarily to the rich have been opened up, as well), but “people, especially rich people, structure income for tax avoidance” didn't go away as maximum marginal rates dropped.
It was said that had the transistor not been discovered at Bell Labs, it would have developed somewhere else in the world within years. In fact, very similar work was taking place at Westinghouse in France under Mataré [0] and Heinrich Welker.

On the other hand, with Information Theory, Shannon was considered to have been ahead by decades.

The closest related work that is considered to come from an independent line of inquiry (taking place in the USSR), but similarly fundamental is Kolmogorov complexity (algorithmic entropy) by Andrey Kolmogorov [1] in 1963.

While Shannon made the huge leap on his own, it should be noted that Harry Nyquist [2] (his colleague at Bell Labs) laid essential foundations through his Nyquist Stability Criterion and studies on bandwidth. This came after harmonic analysis (Fourier transform, etc.) appeared in the 1800s.

In front end development trust is universally near absent. People are wanting instant gratification and there is huge peer pressure to concede that a tool or framework will solve all your problems for you. Invented here syndrome is the name of the game. They don’t trust themselves or each other. It really feels that for most frontend developers it really is all about tools and trends until they spinoff into another career path or promote out.

I do agree that trust is huge for mentoring.
You are correct!

Many apps do not do pinning currently.
I had a great time following this a couple years ago. It inspired me to write a tiny micro-kernel with pre-emtive multitasking. It was probably a bug-ridden mess, but it was incredibly satisfying having a handful of threads printing 'Hello from thread #1', 'Hello from thread #2' etc.
> Oh they could, I mean Apple could just keep killing their accounts they create but is FB ballsy enough to keep opening them? It would be FB calling Apple's bluff. Users would riot though. Apple has to decide between supporting privacy or supporting their users' choice. Apple has made the decision to take away users' choice in the past in the name of safety/protection, I could see them doing it again.

Apple could block all updates to Facebook's apps until Facebook complies with their policies. That would get Facebook's attention in a way that wouldn't alienate Apple's users.

Facebook needs mobile, which means they need Apple more than Apple needs them.

Admittedly, that's a good point. I somewhat view that as electing to always take the standard deduction, regardless of whether you'd get more itemized.

Not quite the same, but perhaps it's a quid pro quo, of sorts. "Ups and downs in the economy, we won't come after you for earnings above the flat rate, but you will pay when lower". Which does negate my point, but such an agreement is consensual.

As a quick side note, I just want to throw out how grateful I am both as a developer and as a user that Firefox handled autoplay blocking in a sane way.

- An actual notification the user can see and control, which means as a developer I can give people an easy way to re-enable audio if something breaks.

- Actual user controls instead of an opaque algorithm I can't override that randomly decides for me on the fly whether or not I want to hear something played.

- No default whitelist, which means when I turn it off, it actually turns off everywhere, and I don't have to spend a week wondering if the next link I click on is just going to start autoplaying anyway because the site is popular.

It still boggles my mind that Chromium's policy is to just turn autoplay back on if you navigate to a new page on the same domain. It makes the entire feature worthless, it's like they assume the only way users are ever going to visit websites is from a search page or social links.

I don't think Firefox's policy is perfect -- user gestures are interpreted so broadly that they're incredibly easy to abuse[0], and I fully expect websites to start widely abusing them in the future. And the UI for adding exceptions is still really cumbersome -- as a developer I wish there was some way to whitelist domains from the notification bar without going into settings.

But all of this is just quibbles, the implementation is fine. It's just so much more straightforward and logical than what Chromium is doing. I'm at the point where I'm just really happy that Firefox is still rolling out features with predictable behaviors that feel, for lack of a better word, sensible.

I feel like increasingly where features like this are concerned, Firefox is the adult in the room, and for whatever it's worth, I really appreciate y'all being there. Seriously, I hope that everyone on the Firefox team feels good about themselves when they go home at night. I think you're doing good work.

Unbelievable. You keep refusing to address the point of 'decrypting literally all private and unrelated-to-facebook data' and claim it's 'usage statistics'.
It applies double so to popular psychology. The key is that obviousness is often a post-hoc illusion.
You could say the same about predatory payday loans. Just because something is opt-in doesn't mean it can't be manipulative and harmful.
But this just isn't the case. If something stays around after receiving SIGHUP, it was probably because that application intended to do so but it could also just be a hung up application that one way or another is going to stay around until it's killed. Sending a signal doesn't give you any sort of feedback to see if you're waiting for the application to close or if the application shouldn't be closed. Signals alone are insufficient.

The main thread checker is a godsend. Enabling it + TSAN + Core Data concurrency assertions have reduced the threading bugs my team deals with to almost 0.

Anywhere we're doing something specific, we make liberal use of `dispatchPrecondition(condition: .onQueue(mySerialQueue))` or `assert(Thread.isMainThread)`.

Even in places where we are doing multithreaded UI rendering (mostly CATiledLayer), it's become a non-issue. It's a night-and-day difference compared to 5+ years ago.

I use a Chinese Android phone called OPPO R17 Pro, and I have exactly this feature built into the stock-rom (ColorOS) and a bunch of other really cool once, such as block foreign numbers, numbers not in my contact list, numbers not on my VIP-list, service numbers etc.
But you can!
Mostly in Android though. I can confirm MIUI - the stock rom on Xiaomi phones - have this exact feature built in.

You can block all hidden numbers, all numbers not in your address book, specific numbers, etc.

Or one can use Tasker - an Android automation app to achieve the same functionality and more in any Android phone. I suppose these days, you can use Iphone's scripting functionality as well for the same, can't you?

Privacy concerns regarding MIUI /Android can be handled by installing a firewall like Netguard.

Facebook has made a lot of enemies:

- Traditional online media has been looking for an online advertising giant to attack for a while, Facebook was the first to be involved in a national scandal (Google is bigger but they're "Not Evil"). They want to regain some control of their advertising income

- Democrats blame Facebook for electing Trump

- Republicans blame Facebook for moderating from the left (doesn't help Zuckerberg was courting the Clintons and actively assisting her during the election).

- Privacy advocates want a focal point for the issue of online privacy and data mining.

The real question is: who doesn't hate Facebook right now?

This is a good reason for the telcos to actually fix their shit instead of slapping this bandaid on it. But until then people are just going to manually ignore calls from unknown numbers assuming they're spam calls and the result will be the same.

In this case, maybe sending the calls to voicemail instead of outright blocking them will work. AFAIK robocallers disconnect when encountering voicemail, whereas in a real emergency they'd leave a message to call back.

Now that's a really good point also I know Apple has straight up pulled apps (Tumblr) in the past. The don't uninstall them from the user's devices (though they could) but Apple does have a number of tools in it's toolbox.

1. Ban all accounts that were publishing this "VPN" (I assume FB didn't use it's main account for any of this, if they did leave that account alone and ban the others)

2. Block updates to FB for some period of time if they try to open new accounts and get caught

3. Delete FB Apps from App Store

4. Delete FB Apps from iOS devices

Comparing what the top 10% paid vs bottom 50% is silly. The issue at hand is wealth inequality. Clearly the top earners are paying much more in tax from a clear dollar to dollar perspective. They own all the wealth.

Taxes are one of the only ways to curb wealth inequality within a capitalist system. Any other ideas? The problem is that wealthy people can afford to set up multinational tax avoidance schemes to avoid actually paying the amount they should be paying.

One solution is to just jack up the rates. If 90% marginal rate on paper only actually results in 45% being collected, then that's still better than 39% marginal rate on paper vs. 15-20% truly collected.

Taxes and public spending are obviously not perfect, there are plenty of inefficiencies throughout. Corruption must be targeted rigorously, otherwise inequality will actually increase. But there needs to be a constant effort to reduce wealth centralization.

So I took this to mean "desperate enough" as in there are scales/levels of "desperate"-ness. Maybe desperate is the wrong word and the "enough" modifier wasn't obvious in my meaning.

Maybe a better way to put it:

Actually the most successful parimutuel syndicates and HNWI bet programmatically through API’s. They consistently win and they do not make their money from picking a single winner. They bet on exotic bets that have much higher odds and are easier to box. For instance picking two winners or order of the first three horses.

Source: I worked on those APIs to integrate with 20+ exchanges over three companies and 10 years. The syndicates and HNWIs were always the same people over that decade.
