>People don't want to pay for it because there are mechanisms in place that sustain these businesses outside of ads. Just think about how much VC money is dumped into these services that never or barely generate a profit and they're all free to use and have been for years.

Please correct me if this is disingenuous, but I feel like you basically just said you're used to having VCs subsidize your entertainment platforms and that you've extrapolated that entitlement into a justification for never paying for any entertainment acquired over the Internet.

At the very least, it seems obvious that it's unsustainable and likely that creative artists will be the first squeezed. Also, I don't think this explanation combat's the parent's observations about spending habits at all.
Can someone list the numbers adjusted for inflation? Because these days it seems billions are so common for companies whereas just ten years ago a ten billion dollar company was “super big”. Where did all this wealth come from? Who lost in the zero sum game ?
Some people have called it brutalist web design[1]. Sites with minimalistic design whose functionality is transparent to the user. It is similar to how the brutalist architectural style doesn’t hide the underlying materials behind a facade (the word “brutalist” comes from the French translation of “raw concrete”), and emphasizes making the purpose of the building visible. Another good example would be craigslist.

Nobody informed is opposed to it because of the finances. People just don't understand why we would want so many more people when gentrification and overcrowding are already making life harder for everyone in the city. If 25000 people with jobs at over 150k a year decided to leave and go to Boston, personally I would be excited.

A few things taxes can't seem to buy are lower rents and a public transportation system that isn't completely overcrowded.

Apple has their own replacement for A-GPS, I wonder if it’s more secure or not https://www.idownloadblog.com/2018/01/08/apple-helo-technolo...

Edit:
Looks like apple uses a 3rd party clearinghouse to pass the information go 911, so the carriers don’t get it. https://cdn.ymaws.com/www.nena.org/resource/resmgr/docs/Appl...

I'm sure apple could, but this might be an easier said than done item.

A-GPS certainly shouldn't be disabled at all times, as it is a mandate as part of E911, which has the express purpose of closing the gap on emergency services being able to find a caller in an emergency.

The difficulty is, I don't think A-GPS is OS controlled, I think it largely lives in the baseband, which Apple may have a much more limited control over, optionally enabling and disabling features that for all intensive purposes are built into the hardware. Ideally, a user should get a notification when not in a 911 call, but without spending a good deal of time hunting in the standards, it's possible this isn't exposed either.

I think in the CDMA2000 day's when I looked at this, the OS call for GPS positions couldn't even say don't use assisted GPS. The baseband if it had a network connection, would just contact the location server, and use that when locating the device to give back to the OS. That's old technology though, I'm not intimately familiar with the current standards.

Right, and Hoover's techniques were those of an authoritarian which few in Washington wished to support or tolerate. The problem was that Hoover's enemies included those very same Washington leaders, whom he'd quietly threaten.

By contrast, we've arrived at a point where those very same techniques, practiced openly and brazenly, are considered legitimate in the eyes of a significant plurality of both Washington leaders and the national electorate.

Corruption has always existed, but unless it's normalized you at least have a fighting change of containing it. When its normalized it will consume the whole system. Pervasive cynicism is sufficient to normalize it, and that's often how it metastasizes.

You don't understand why giving one of the largest, most profitable companies in the world money for real estate while homelessness is widespread and on the rise[1] is objectionable?

Frankly, I don't believe those ROI projections: we've seen these kinds of wildly optimistic plans time and time again with companies promising tax revenues based on straightforward filing, and then using the wide variety of loopholes to (legally) avoid the projected taxes. But even assuming the projections come to fruition: who receives those returns? Is it going to help New Yorkers who need help, or to the already rich? Right now all signs point to the latter. If we're just re-gifting all the money back into already highly profitable companies, I don't really care to hear about ROIs.

I used to spend a lot of time on these boards, for years when I was younger. I know how it works, and I am familiar enough with 4chan to know that this language is common and normalized (calling people f-----s, n-----s, etc). /lit/ in particular I remember as being violently misogynistic (and a quick browse today confirms that). I'm familiar with the culture, the "irony" that justifies this kind of language, all of it. I was immersed in it for a long time, I "get" it. And it's not OK.

I think 4chan is an incredible, fascinating experiment, and I don't think all of it is trash or worthless, and it's true that not all boards are /b/. But it is undeniable that the overall culture is one of hostility, aggression, and cruelty, especially towards marginalized groups (not to mention the creepy sex stuff, which also pervades all boards). It's not a model for a healthy internet community by any means.

Edit: OP was edited, want to add a bit:

My overall assessment of 4chan is totally different: it is a cautionary tale of what free as in freedom on the internet actually looks like: a place where a few cynical teenage/early 20s white dudes may have a good time, while creating a culture totally devoid of empathy or inclusion for anyone else. A hotbed for lawlessness where violence and extreme ideologies fester and have real world consequences, the worst of the mid-2000s web.

> To tell Spotify “I’d use your service if you added an option where the ads didn’t give 3rd parties the ability to run JS on my system” is different from “I picked your current ad-supported option and then prevented the ads from running”.

Is it really, when the solution I'm using to prevent ads from running is blocking a handful of 3rd party domains in my hosts file? I haven't taken away Spotify's capacity to run ads on my machine, only the 3rd party's capacity. Spotify could even test whether I'm interested in blocking first party ads by running their Spotify Premium ads this way.

On the whole, it seems like a more effective way to communicate blocking ads seems like a more effective way to communicate my distaste than abstaining from use of the service and contacting them (how?) to let them know I would use the service if get served ads directly. This way, they know exactly how much I use the service. That way, who's to say whether I'd actually use the service if they changed their ad serving model the way I say?
> If enough people are on free money with no incentive to work

A central point of UBI as a replacement for means-tested welfare is that people without employment always have a financial incentive to work, because they keep the additional income from work rather than having sharp, sometimes more than 100% when aggregated across multiple programs, offsetting reduction in benefits.

It's true that UBI at a poverty support levels can be said to remove economic coercion that can exist to work without welfare (e.g., due to time limited benefits or qualifications besides means testing), but it does not result in people having no incentive to work.

> Conventional welfare also provides for a person’s “basic needs”, usually with the condition that that person is actively searching for an opportunity to add value.

Conventional means-tested welfare has massive inefficient bureaucracy because it works at cross purposes with itself, with means-testing creating a financial disincentive to added work (and duplicating bureaucratic functions already present in the tax system), which it then tries to counteract with behavior testing (which adds another set of layers of bureaucratic functions whose entire purpose is to provide coercion to counteract the work disincentives created by means testing.)0

> On what grounds?

Because you thumb your nose at nation-states at your peril.
IIRC, it's not exactly like the device detects you're in an emergency call, finds its GPS coordinates, and then sends the GPS coordinates along with the call initiation. You want to initiate the call, regardless of the status of finding the GPS location.

I'm greatly simplifying, but you can think of it like I'm making any phone call, it's just I dial 911. This does set some special in-band signalling, that I'm dialling sos, and set's bits that say this is an emergency connection, so retain it over non-emergency calls.

There is then some special routing that takes place, so that based on general location, you get routed to the correct 911 center.

Then, the network has a sort of API, that lets the 911 center make an API call, requesting the current GPS coordinates. This can take time, as you might not be able to pick up satellites, or use other sources. then think of something like a kidnapping, you might need to be able to track a moving target, so this process can be repeated and updated or more accurate coordinates can be received.
The first comparison to make is in the category of physical harm, in which both substances pose the very low risk of physical harm to the user as they both require an insane dose (>100x normal dose) to pose an immediate medical concern. However, if marijuana is smoked (like anything else smoked) it is not good for the health of the user over the long term. In this category, LSD is the clear winner in risk of harm to the user.

The other category is, of course, harm to the user's mental health. In my opinion, dependence is a huge part of this category and cannabis, while not particularly addictive, is definitely more addictive and can produce minor to moderate physical withdrawal effects. LSD seems to be the antithesis of addictive.

There's also the social harm category that I can't speak to, but the UK Centre for Crime and Justice Studies sponsored a study [0][1] in 2010 that also takes this into account.

I don't disagree with this, and I think the trend of weaponizing marijuana to ridiculous levels of strength is concerning to me. But even at the new crazy strength, as far as I know it has not caused death by overdose. I would prefer that people understand that its possible to over do just about anything that makes you feel good, so lets figure out a smarter way to handle the drug problem than "war".

Part of it is New York's system is much older than the rest of your examples, Tokyo didn't really expand beyond a single tunnel till 50s-60s, Beijing opened in the 60s and Shanghai only started construction in the mid 80s. Then on top of that the city of New York isn't actually in charge fully so (like just happened) if they try to do something disruptive but critical the governor can come and derail the whole plan. I don't mean to say it excuses the mismanagement but it does explain a lot of the problems.

Also it's not like they're not building new stuff in 2017 the second avenue subway opened with 3 new stations.
My most joyful (work wise), efficient and productive 5 weeks ever were:
* in a remote place, visiting and living with my grandparents
* in a village with little civilization but tons of nature around
* when for a break I could just go outside house, hike around the barn, watch village folks going about their business in the farm or around the kettle
* with big time zone difference from the rest of the team that allowed only occasionally for 1 hour of overlap to sync up
* with my wife being away for her studies in a different country (told ya it was joyful only work-wise!!) with fixed limited hour to catch up on a phone.

In those 5 weeks I’ve built the major part of the scalable distributed OLAP Cube that had proved to be very simple, robust and reliable and was still in use to support telemetry of over hundred of customers after 5 years.

The biggest distractions were a cat, incredibly beautiful rain showers, and warmest ever discussions at the dinner table.

>I like to do restaurant analogies when it comes to hedge funds, maybe because I grew up in one and went on to manage a couple of funds, but also there's certain similarities.

Very simple and easy to understand. Bravo!
The projections are done by the city and state in this case, not Amazon. The city/state agents involved worked with a third-party (REMI) to perform a comprehensive forecasting and economic analysis. Also, most of the subsidies here are not in the form of capital investments, but rather things like tax credits which are provided for some action already taken (for example, having created a job that meets certain requirements).

This deal is very safe because it is paid out incrementally, over time, and mostly in-step with incremental actions taken by Amazon, and because the ROI is so big (even if projections are significantly off target, this will still be a win).
Nominally, yes... the "street rates" are completely random, and if you manage to qualify for any government endorsement, state banks will be ready to bamboozle any amount money on you.
Exactly. It's the lack of real choice. In 1950-whatever your chances of making it on your own, as a single mom, ESPECIALLY when the entire culture is built on the assumption of stay at home moms, were pretty slim. You didn't just move out, sign up at the local montessori, and go get your "pays roughly similar even if still lower" professional job, and go to the bank and get a mortgage, etc.

Corporate servitude also sucks but that's a result of nimby housing cartels (you're competing with two income households for homes).
I just realized the dumbsort algorithm at the bottom has an error; it should read:

Massively increasing protein intake as a percentage of calories and eating one meal a day. Keto is good but just loading up on fat is basically counterproductive to expending any. Protein is just so much more satiating, plus I've gained a noticeable amount of muscle (picked up StrongLifts 5x5 last fall), which helps raise BMR / TDEE a little bit.

I basically realized if a meal doesn't have enough protein in it, it won't satisfy me, and I'll quickly be hungry again. I don't mind carbs in moderation, and sometimes I'll crave e.g. a meaty sandwich after a good workout, which is imo basically fine. I used to be much more strict about avoiding carbs like the plague. But what I usually go for after a workout is a 75g protein vanilla whey + water shake.

The crazy part is that the FDA recommends 50g per day for a man like me eating 2000 kcal/day (I'd probably have a bit more than 2000 but I've been loose with measuring it recently); my rule of thumb is get 1g of protein per lb of lean body mass - I realize this is over the amount some studies recommend as the maximum utilizable protein/lb LBM, but it just works for me, so I'm gonna keep it up.
See, at least companies can't send you to jail, or start a war. Isn't it nice that we have an equivalent counterbalance to governments (with their known history of absolutely irresponsible and destructive behavior, which became even more so in the age of mass democracy, because the governments are now at least indirectly driven by idiots)?

You're correct that there are Republicans who support legalization, and there are Democrats who are against it.

But if you look at the demographics of who supports legalization, it's clear which party will eventually pass legislation to legalize. Republicans are increasingly dependant on their aging, white base, and that's the exact demographic that still supports prohibition.

The Republican party as a whole has no reason to support legalization until they decide to try to broaden their appeal, which exactly what they planned on doing after their defeat in 2012. But the rise of Trump changed that. Look at who Trump appointed as his first Attorney General--a man who pined for the Reagan era war on drugs--a man who urged prosecutors to use the death penalty to fight drug trafficking.

If they lose in 2020 and decide to rebrand, who knows, but as of right now there is no chance of a Republican Senate passing legalisation, and I think a small but non-zero chance that a Democratic Senate would.
> I mean, if somehow Google would manage to pay biggest possible fine without changing practices, I'd expect the law updated to bigger fines.

And if they refused to pay, I imagine new laws would be passed to force compliance...such as criminal penalties against corporate executives and board members who choose to leave the fines unpaid.

Sundar Pichai's going to have Google pay up if the alternative is that he could end up in a French jail.
