The same face of the moon is always towards the Earth, but the sun hits all points of the moon at different times, so no part is perpetually dark. The "dark side" is just the side facing away from Earth.
> I don't want to have different players for different shows

This is at the heart of the control problem. If you have one true player, it commands more control than is good for you, me and all consumers. Healthy competition is the only practical way to keep this under check.

I make sure to distribute my consumption over at least 2-3 contenders for any content be it search (google, ddg, bing), video (youtube, vimeo, dailymotion), podcasts (overcast, apple podcasts). I've begun extending this pattern over all sorts of consumption.

Sure its a hassle for me. I'm ok with it. I like to think that one extra click, one purchase, one download helps the competitors in keeping the market healthy.

Income inequality is rising so fast, data can’t keep up
I agree so much with this. I recently attended a Golang meet up and since I was one of the few who had been using the language regularly for over 2 years now i was asked to let the newcomers know my favorite "feature". I replied with the same point you make above and was met with a look of refreshment on people's faces.

Go lets you write One True Code for the most part.
I love the concept of using existing protocols, but the implementation here creates a mismatch in expectation between the communicating users. I may be 'chatting' with someone that doesn't use Delta, and they just see short emails that don't conform to social norms for email content. Then they decide to cc a bunch of people into the conversation. Now what? The part of chat that I would like to see solved is end-to-end encryption for all, and interoperability between the existing protocols. This is just a shitty email client.

I'd wager to say there's nothing more fundamental about it. You are still finding eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a linear operator. The matrix is exactly the same.

Google to End Mandatory Arbitration for Employees
I have little sympathy for someone making $1.2m/year and complaining that they're depressed because of their job. If you hate your job so much on that income, just work for a year or two and leave! At that income there's no reason why he shouldn't have enough saved up to retire in a lower cost of living area (assuming this isn't his first job out of uni and he's not spending like a maniac). If not (or at least if he's not on track), then he's just being financially irresponsible and needs to cut down his expenses. You don't need that $4m penthouse or Lamborghini.

On another note, how does one land these $1.2m/yr jobs? That's over $3k/day, I couldn't even spend that kind of money if I tried.
To me this is just a distraction. Yes there's a hardware camera. I will bet some money that they have not been used nefariously by AA or SQ. Some are raging about the non-existant theoretical privacy violation (again, not 100% non-existant, but I will bet money there's no surveillance through this camera), meanwhile we are ignoring actual privacy violations being done by e.g. Facebook or Twitter, or the millions of ad networks (which that webpage has too, btw).

One might say "But what about hackers?", luckily unlike Alexa or Google Home, it's hard for hackers to tinker with one these devices and find remotely-triggerable exploits.

tl;dr: “All workers who report weekly earnings above $2,884.61 (annual earnings for full-year workers above $150,000) are recorded as having weekly earnings of exactly $2,884.61, to preserve the anonymity of respondents,” Gould writes. That top-code threshold hasn’t been updated since 1998. As a result, the survey is becoming less useful for tracking top incomes at a time when public concern over inequality is growing.

Because you like to know something that other people don't know and won't publish.

Or you don't worry about contributing to the world.

The most inspiring form of monetization in podcasting currently comes from Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. Their No Agenda podcast is "value for value", where the fans contribute. They have actually been debating the Gimlet purchase, and have apparently turned down a similar offer.

I think both Curry and Dvorak are right when they say that you can actually hear the distaste for reading the ads, and that only very few people are able to do it well.

The concept of value for value put forward by No Agenda is fantastic, there's no fixed price, no paywall, but you are encouraged to donate. I can't explain it as beautifully as Adam Curry, but the gist of it is: What value did you derive from listing? Was it $5, $10 or maybe $100 dollars, then please donate that amount. I also think there's a point to his idea that people love being mentioned during the donation segment of the show.

It not clear how much Curry and Dvorak make from No Agenda, but I have the feeling that it much more than they care to admit.

Sort of an aside: The audio quality of No Agenda is in my opinion the very best in podcasting. Even much bigger productions, with more resources and better equipment sound much worse.
Yeah, agreed. I do this in Rust a lot too, and I picked it up while writing a lot of Python.
> Please explain how the statement "tax avoidance in the USA" proves market-friendly policies have been a "failure".

This one i can explain. Whether its ordo-liberalism, social liberalism or any kind of post-1929 liberalism, a market-friendly policy aim to brake cartels, monopolies and remove unfair advantages, and help new companies start even in an already competitive field.

You can easily see how tax avoidance, easier to avoid for big, international, old companies is a failure of "market-friendly" policies. This is not the only point where those policies fail, but this one of the most obvious. Sadly i don't have any english papers on this, but even really old-school liberals (like the ones you can proably see on fox, although i don't know if they invite PhD or lobbyists there) are saying this is becoming an issue.

Also income inequality should never be a problem. Wealth inequality, however, especially when more money is gained from wealth than from work, is. And its easy to fix: less tax on work income, more taxes on wealth/wealth income. There.
If we find 100 felonies per person for everyone in the country, it's going to be physically impossible to prosecute that many cases and jail that many people. At some point we have to decide that it's not worth having a law that is essentially unenforceable.

Maybe you could argue that they would just be selectively enforced to remove people the state finds inconvenient. We could probably fix that legislatively by requiring a law to be enforced some high X% of times that the state becomes aware of it, because what's really the point of a law if it's ignored 99% of the time?

The thing is, technology doesn't just go away. Once something is invented, there's no uninventing it. So, we're going to have to figure out how to create a just world where public surveillance is ubiquitous.

The idea of privacy in terms of "don't look at me" is not something we do for its own sake. It exists to serve a purpose, whether that's to prevent embarrassment or prevent tyranny. We're going to need to find other ways to serve those purposes.
137 is a median. Half the people in Palo Alto make less than 137 in household income? Maybe, if you count East Palo Alto. But Atherton at 443 ( https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2018-hundred-richest-plac... ) ? seems too low

>It's far harder to agree on who the present-day Nazis are.

No it isn't.

Do you believe Jews, homosexuals and non-white races are inferior to straight whites? Do you believe the white race is the sole creator and rightful inheritor of civilization, and that multiculturalism and race mixing is a threat to that civilization? Do you identify as a Nazi, Neo-Nazi, white supremacist or white separatist? Do you believe the Holocaust either never happened or else that the Jews had it coming?

Then you're a Nazi.

Do you believe any of the above while supporting the use of violence to further those ends?

Then you're definitely a Nazi.

Do you identify as "alt-right?"

Then you may not be a Nazi, but you seem comfortable having them as allies, which isn't much better.

Do you use Nazi imagery and rhetoric ironically?

Then you're an idiot who wants to be mistaken for a Nazi as a laugh, so enjoy being mistaken for a Nazi. No one is laughing, though.
Disclaimer: I have no Golang programming experience.

I am curious with this approach though...you're nesting behavior and/or logic, doesn't this further obscure the meaning of the code and contribute more to the need to jump around the source in order to figure it out?
This is something that has been concerning me as well. My fear is that as money perverts this ecosystem, the big players will increasingly push out the small players. They'll suck up all the ad revenue and flood discovery services with mediocre (but well produced!!) corporate shlock. That will suck the air out of the room and damage all the smaller outfits, making them harder to find and less profitable to run.

I hope I'm wrong.
What makes you think a simulation complex enough to be a universe would have familiar programming concepts? Would you expect that of alien tech a million years more advanced?

Also, if our universe is a simulation, then we have no idea how faithful that simulation is to the world it runs inside of. Could be a lot different. Maybe our simulated physics is fanciful. Maybe the hardware it runs on is nothing like anything we're familiar with. And maybe the software is completely alien.

To me it seems like the simulation argument is self-defeating, because you can't draw any conclusions about the real world from it in order to tell that it's actually a simulation.

Oh wow, I hadn't considered that but it's obviously simple to do. Here's a funny thought: your script downloads the file with requests from two IPs associated with different locations and gets a union of the audio for you to listen to (thus cutting out any location-based segments).

If packages are too small it can get hard to understand the code if your not familiar with the structure yet. Working from bottom to top level can work but might also be different because you are missing context for the low level packages to make sense.

In general I found larger packages tend to produce more direct / pragmatic code with less indirection which is usually easier to understand, even though it also feels wrong to me from a theoretical standpoint.

I think the divide comes down to people's priors on whether a technological device will necessarily be abused. It's easy to write off a device as only possibly enabling something "bad", and hold off assigning blame to whomever actually does the bad thing. Or you can look at the incentives, history, and accountability of such devices being abused, and infer that the implications are completely likely.

In the best case, an amateur breaks into this network simply to spy on people and masturbate (either on the ground, or in the bathroom). Not necessarily personally harmful, but most people would consider this creepy.

A more chilling possibility is that the cameras end up being used to test some face-tension profiling system, in the name of security theater. And the airlines are prohibited and indemnified from disclosing this to the public. Note I am not saying that they were purchased/installed for this reason, but merely that having them installed and sitting around makes them an attractive nuisance!

At any rate, especially as technologists, we're past the point of being able to write off the abilities of hardware devices because of some imagined idea that the software isn't setup to do that. Especially on less important devices that are more likely to fall by the wayside!
Jails do harm and even kill people.

It’s complicated. The border options are “none”, “NI/RoI border customs checks etc”, and “Irish Sea custons checks etc” (given nobody even suggested “customs checks etc on Sinn Fein/DUP constituency borders” AFAIK).

“None” was ruled out by making it a red line to leave the customs union and single market even though that was originally something quite of leave campaigners thought was a silly idea. And it was ruled in by the WA backstop if the UK couldn’t figure out how to leave the Single Market without violating the Good Friday Agreement.

NI/RoI seems to violate the Good Friday Agreement. People argue about if it really does, but ultimately what matters is if the situation no longer satisfies the parties involved, and Sinn Fein says it doesn’t.

Irish Sea enrages the DUP because they want to be identical to the UK mainland (except for abortion laws and gay marriage etc).

It’s a mess.
This is the reason we need laws surrounding data its collection, usage, retention and sharing. Companies and people will willfully or through sheer incompetence collect data, create privacy violations. For consumers there is no option but to rail against every new find. As we saw every company big and small do it. There is no solution but laws. At least that way we have a line drawn and we can fight for that line and about that line. Right now we are all screaming into a void hoping someone will listen and in some cases we yell into a void when its not warranted.

"Lifestyle inflation" doesn't necessarily just mean nice vacations and fancy cars - education expenses for children are often a huge part of it.

In the major coastal metros, living in a great school district or paying for an equivalent-quality private school is a tremendous expense. Parents also feel pressure to save enough to send their children to the best college or university that they can get into, which can be a $300,000+ expense.

For many parents, these expenses are non-negotiable - "downsizing" in this area is off the table.

I think there's a fair case that these parents are locked in a society-wide arms race: everyone would be better off if the kids were under less pressure to get the "best" education credentials possible, but almost everyone thinks they would be worse off if they unilaterally "disarmed".
