I'm unsure if Spotify offers these plans elsewhere, but in India they have the following tiers :

Rs. 119 per month (1.7$)

Rs. 1189 per year (16.85$)

And also, funnily, "top-up" plans:

Rs. 13 for 1 day (18c)

Rs. 39 for 1 week (54c)

Rs. 389 for 3 months (5.5$)

Rs. 719 for 6 months (10.2$)

Also available are student plans, which give you a 50% discount on the monthly plans. So you could end up using Spotify for ~85c a month in India.

Agreed. But it is at least far easier to definitively prove that they are the reason the malware was delivered to a given user. It is perhaps a naive hope, but maybe that and the threat of potential bad publicity (or just being more likely to be included in popular "bad host" block-lists) will encourage a little more due diligence.

Noobs Guide: Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery
As someone who is planning a wedding, I don't really see what they are trying to "disrupt"? I am thinking the major costs for a wedding are:

- Rings
- Dress (wedding dress/men's dress)
- Venue
- Food
- Cake
- Photographer
- Music/"DJ"/MC
- "extras"

Many of those can be rolled up into a venue (i.e. the venue supplies food, DJ, Cake, etc.), and personally, my fiancé nor I want to spend a lot of money on it.

So it feels like where they are disrupting are the "nice to haves" (expensive dress, cards, etc.) and not focusing on the "need to haves" (Food, venue, etc.)
That’s the issue, innit? All the extremely cool tech is the prerequisite for the privacy-invading, democracy-busting, user-hostile, ethics-dismissing business model of the company. You can’t disentangle the “cool stuff” from the “bad stuff,” any more than a dev for the NSA plausibly can, and we as technologists have to grapple with the moral consequences of doing cool stuff for bad people. Or, to quote Tom Lehrer,

Mathematics has its own version of 'empirical proof': a constructive proof, i.e. demonstrating that a method (algorithm) can construct a particular mathematical object with specific properties.

I don't think it's really the case that all branches of mathematics really have a 'common basis' as much as that they're all equivalent. It's pretty common to map one branch to another, e.g. arithmetic to set theory, but then once that's been done there's no real reason to write proofs in a particular branch in the formalism of another.

> The idea is that mechanising proof and making it more algorithmic will make it more like what the layman thought proof is , but it at the same time raises the question, what is this all for? Ie maths is what mathematicians do. I think it admits to no clearer a definition. So it’d probably make sense for mathematicians to decide, what precisely is the role of proof?

"A New Kind of Science" has some insights about this that I appreciate greatly. Mathematicians don't bother to enumerate everything that's formally ('mechanically') true, even tho there are some interesting truths to be discovered in that fashion. They instead explore the 'tree of truths' based on history, intuition, and even fashion.

Ultimately, even the most mechanical formal systems are, or can be, nebulous and 'philosophically strange'. Consider the axiom of choice as but one example – there are different set theories depending on whether one accepts that axiom as 'reasonable' (or 'true') or not!

I call convenient excuse. Only because most games do as little as feasible to get adequate behaviour from the users and fans. In many games it's encouraged, whether overt or implicit matters little, as far as they can get away with. Far too much abusive and offensive behaviour is simply ignored, presumably as it increases overall sales.

AAA titles are far more likely to moderate when you become strident and critical or running a bot. Offensive or entitled jerk gets a much easier time - they always get away with it. There is a lot competitive, violent games could do to preserve accountability as the correlation did not used to be there. Design mostly goes the other way in the way PvP, leagues, matchups and competition that tends to temporary, one off, pair ups and teams. It's encouraged.

It's one of the main reasons I avoid online titles now. I'm having a much happier time with games that treat online as a secondary or optional component, or entirely solo, and are from Indies.
No.

Object.defineProperty(document, 'visibilityState', { value: "visible", writable: false })

demonstrates trivially that the documentation is clearly wrong.

Maybe it says it's "read-only" because Google wants bad guys to do this sort of thing, since it makes advertisers buy more ads from them.

Or maybe it's an honest mistake that neither Mozilla, nor Google (nor Microsoft or anyone else it seems) has any idea what "read-only" means.
Just a single data point but when my org went from an engineering VP who worked his way up to a manager suit type the amount of "Do X to satisfy Y" went from almost nothing to a majority. About half of the senior engineers have left in 2 years since this management change.

They gave me a big stack of cash upfront to stay for a certain period then I'm following my colleagues that left.

The plural here is confusing. Are you talking about the Petersen graph, on ten vertices? There does exist a constructivist proof of its non-Hamiltonicity: merely enumerate every cycle of length ten and show that none are Hamiltonian.

> Websites that want to be designated as secure have to be certified by an outside organization, which will confirm their identity and vouch for their security. The certifying organization also helps secure the connection between an approved website and its users, promising the traffic will not be intercepted.

becomes

Certificate Authorities are organisations that validate a web site's "domain name" and issue certificates for validated names. The site uses a certificate to prove its name to your web browser when you visit an encrypted site.

This seems relatively easy to understand, most importantly it's clear that the certificate is about naming and not some nebulous "security" or identity more broadly. Also valuable it's clear that the CA plays no direct role in actually securing an HTTPS connection (very common for people not to understand that, even fairly technical people) and yet it's vague enough that I don't have to explain about how public key technology works which is a whole can of worms.
> you get some choice as to where to work

People's career decisions tend to be motivated by money. If you're looking to maximize your compensation, the options are Big Tech (Google and Amazon have similar levels of ethics issues as Facebook) or finance (depending on your views, potentially even less ethical).

I'm not saying working at one of these places is the right decision, but it's very much an understandable one.

> 2. Teachers in Ontario receive ~$140,000/year for 8 months of work, 5 hours a day. This is publicly available via the sunshine list. If you're using teachers as an example of bias. You're barking up the wrong tree here these inflated teacher wages raise the wages of women on average.

"5 hours a day" because all the material and lesson plans just appears out of nowhere along with all the graded work and administrative work...

Also I'm very happy that Ontario seems to have a good grasp on the value of teaching but that REALLY isn't true in the US where our average salary in 2016-17 was ~$38k [0].

Also my point wasn't that women are being paid less as teacher but the kind of 'social jobs' typically filled by women that the OP was talking about are valued less. Gender equality within that job isn't particularly relevant there I was talking about the profession as a whole vs other professions.

I think it’s an interesting analogy, but it’s also a fundamentally flawed one and doesn’t apply.

That problem does exist with countries. The mechanisms for trying to fix that with regard to countries, are things like democracy, revolutions, investigative journalism, and international pressure. We tend to be conservative about how we try to change our countries because most people’s livelihoods and even lives depend on our decisions.

This is absolutely not the case for a social media company. It’s just a capitalist corporation. One of the asserted benefits of capitalism is that we have competition and companies can simply fail if they don’t serve our needs or be shut down if they end up being harmful.

I.e. We have to tolerate countries that do bad things and the struggle to fix them is long and hard, because the costs of a failed state are enormous.

Unlike with states, don’t have to tolerate bad companies, in not tolerating them, we create the opportunities that lead to something better emerging.

That's where we were at - we ended up renting out a restaurant for the evening - as long as they made what they normally make for an evening they were happy to have less people come in. They went all out on the food as they were feeding 30 people with it instead of the usual restaurant crowd. Our wedding cake was a nicer version of their regular chocolate cake (again, included in the food cost). Our music was the restaurants usual music. It was an excellent.

In regards to the dress, if you're non-traditional there's a ton of off-white non-wedding dresses that look perfectly acceptable and cost a tenth of the wedding varieties.

I used to moderate a really busy gaming forum back in the day. The GTA forums were always the worst.

The Civilization and other TBS type game forums were spotless as far as behavior goes.

One day they made a change on the forum and moderator names looked different from other users (it wasn't intentional but some old formatting that accidentally was leaked out). I was posting like usual on the Civilization forums and they noticed my username looked odd, folks were surprised to hear there even WERE moderators. There simply had been no moderator action on those forums that anyone could remember. The community simply policed itself and users corrected their behavior on their own in a way that could never happen in GTA forums.

That was also the place you saw "reasonable" criticism of the game and respect for it from everyone. It wasn't all positive all the time, but it was balanced in terms of understanding the ying and yang of game development decisions.... and an acceptance that maybe as a user they don't know everything.
The Intercept is an obvious choice to leak this sort of information, especially given their reputation for having the backs of their sources (with one notable failure -- the NSA leak where they published raw documents leading inadvertently to an identification of the source due to printer stenography) and focus on tech/surveillance issues. The previous stories re: Dragonfly were widely corroborated by many involved at Google since the story broke and reputable sources like the NYT had significant corroborating coverage. I don't see why it's suspicious or indicative that it's coming from a single source just because the Intercept is breaking more of these stories. Anyone familiar with what's been leaked and any interest in publishing an update on this story would have little reason to send it elsewhere instead.
I didn't try it because I'm not trying to solve that problem. Not that I didn't find the solution interesting after reading the introduction. This kind of project is difficult "to sell" because it requires a high level of technical commitment by potential users and the pool of potential users is already relatively shallow.

Good luck.
And, if you come right down to it, the bulk of costs comes down to cultural/family expectations for a traditional formal wedding with a couple hundred of your closest friends of the sort I used to work part-time for a (old-line Main Line Philadelphia) caterer as a teenager.

I've attended a wide gamut of weddings over the years. Some are in the above vein, others are much more informal affairs, still others make the wedding a small family affair and have a bigger casual party as a separate event.
