This is patently false.

Google’s monopoly is on resources required to be a search competitor. It has a giant stash of patents related to search, and it also has an enormous collection of historical data that can never be obtained by a new competitors. On top of that it continues to extract behavioral and structural data about both users and the web from things like analytics, Android, etc. with gigantic reach.

These are gigantic barriers to entry and Google created them.

Now it’s reasonable to argue that there they did nothing insidious or unfair in order to create them.

However just because they didn’t do anything evil to create the barriers to entry they now enjoy doesn’t mean they didn’t create them or that they now enjoy a monopoly position as a consequence.
So I'm looking at the site. Lots of links to go through. Lets just start at link 1 of credibility. Follow the story... it says they took the guns based on the guy open-carrying a gun. Which they explain the red-flag-law and such.

Like it makes sense. The cops always overreact at these douchebag open-carry people. Youtube has loads of these videos where people open carry looking to sue the cops under 1984 lawsuits if the cops take their guns.

This is a credible story.

Then I keep going down the list and they have nothing to do with zerohedge.

I don't think many people use products because of their politics. They use what works for them. Chrome seems to be doing so extremely well, despite its flaws and questionable competitive practices.

I have three browsers on my laptop. I hate Chrome because it is a battery/memory/data hog. But I can't comfortably switch profiles (work/various orgs/non-profits/personal) on FF like I do with Chrome. The feature is actually in FF, but it isn't available in the interface for whatever reason.

This feature is nonexistent on Safari.

Despite the alternatives on FF, this one feature is what keeps me on Chrome. Had FF had that, I probably would've switched by now.

Nothing political (unless the politics suddenly begins to matter)
The question I can't seem to find a consistent answer to is whether closing/limiting a market from imports/exports has the same net effect of supply management.

Supply management is for smoothing out volatility, but one major source of that volatility is exogenous demand from futures and far away competition.

Dairy economics worked fine when they were bound by geography. What broke the economics is industrial scale operations optimized for exporting from the region. The policy solution for that to keep farmers alive and dairy available would be to impose borders on the markets.

European (French) dairy subsidies are a variation on supply management, where instead of centralizing production, they close their borders to imports and redistribute general revenue as a way to maintain culture.

The consequence of supply management is that you can't just start a dairy farm in Canada with a few cows and some land. While that may seem trivial, distortions like this mean small towns are not economically viable because there is little local production that produces economic activity.

It makes dairy management a fundamental cultural problem. I would be interested in a sound comparison of the tradeoffs between supply management vs. borders/tarrifs to solve the same problem.

It is actually the exact opposite of both-siderism, because I'd like people to hold Democrats to a far higher and tougher standard than Republicans. But also, it applies to politics in other countries, it is not strictly an American R/D thing.

Also, you should go back to 2015/2016 and read the things said about Trump at the time. The idea that he'd hire a cabinet full of super competent people to run everything while he connects with people and sees the larger truth was very popular. Scott Adams is one of the people who took this line very seriously that I specifically remember.

I think it's mostly a fallacy. Static OOP can only do so much, and it's just a cultural side effect that your editor comes preconfigured with JDT. It doesn't help your editor to know what Factory to use to instantiate some constructor, only the author and the doc. You'll still be reading suggested method docs. It's just that your IDE .. as you say it, holds your hand.

Auto insurance is a legal requirement. My insurance company asks me to state where my car is habitually parked, and would consider a misleading answer fraudulent.
Well, that's exactly the point - I was arguing against the (by now ubiquitous) definition of the "actual problem". Your analogy further illustrates exactly that.

The actual problem (as in, the thing you are actually solving whether you realize it or not) of computer programming is not creating a product (that's business) or even data transformation (that's applied math). All computer programming is ultimately the transformation of data on real hardware (however abstracted by everything from firmware to virtual machines). Obviously, computer programmers don't exist in a vacuum and have to take into account technical (including mathematical) and social (including business) concerns, make tradeoffs, etc., but that doesn't change the basic facts. I'm just arguing we should be more explicit about them, not write them off.

And to address your analogy directly, register allocation is as much part of the actual problem as memory management. Even though most of us rarely resort to actually doing it by hand, it's still there and examining it in the resulting assembly is still often an important part of optimizing code. My argument is that regardless of whether you directly encounter something like register allocation every day, it is both conceptually important and useful to recognize it as part of what computer programming actually is, the technical and social properties that lead to the degree to which it is automated and the associated tradeoffs. Pretending that the actual problem of getting computers to do what we want is some annoying series of "incidental" problems is a recipe for bad software.

This is so true but greed enables them to take and take and take.

My wife had gestational diabetes. She had to mesure and log the values and her food. She is from the north of europe and I am from the south europe. Actually, her body gave permutated values between potatoes and pasta. In a same condition (starting G level, same plate, same quantities, same level of activity, same hour, etc), she could eat potatoes without issue, pasta (even whole wheat) was systematically making her GI skyrocket. It was the opposite for me. A tool to mesure your G level is very instructive.

If you go to matrix.org and look at the list of about a dozen or so servers: you will find that none of them actually work except the reference implementation, and maybe sometimes Construct.

I have spent months reverse-engineering their software and its interactions before, and after, it was at all documented in this so-called standard (by the way, it's just documentation of their software -- errata and all (and rather poor)).

Construct server is the single survivor out of the ones listed and even more who have attempted and given up early which we don't know about. That being said, it is still incomplete.

"Why should you read this paper? Glucose and insulin are two of the most important elements of metabolism. In an oversimplified nutshell - when we consume food our blood glucose usually increases. Consequently, the pancreas secretes insulin which lowers the glucose levels back to normal. Insulin is a hormone and is often considered to be the principal regulator of fat storage in the body (this is a bit controversial, but is mostly considered correct. Read the book "Why we get fat" by Gary Taubes for more info). Therefore knowing how the foods we eat spike our insulin levels can be helpful in determining what should be eaten for weight loss."

These are handy tricks, even in JS at scale, and I'd recommend their usage if you can (big if, business requirements come first for most of us). That said, I don't really buy into the no JS/purism movement for load/execution speed. For bite-sized apps or simple pages, sure. However, it's completely possible and not that hard to develop full-blown web application suites using full JS for everything (structure, style, and function) and not have issues with load or speed. I'm not sure if there's a footgun here, but the issue falls squarely on the developers.
I think the problem is that this whole automatic system is to prevent crashes because the engines change how the plane behaves compared to a normal 737 which is the training Boing was trying to avoid in the first place.

So for them to turn off the automatic system, they really need to be training on how to fly this variant of the 737.

This sounds crazy to me. My last company would freak out if the dev team got together and discussed the person's politics and if we thought they should be hired or not based on that. I hope they do stop this.

The more i think about this the crazier it sounds. Imagine a Houston oil consultancy firm discussing a candidate who applied and asking "when we talked about lowering taxes, did the inflection in his voice sound real or feigned?". This is what an "old boys club" looks like.

Same thing: convenience.

Find the phone, unlock the phone, find and open the app, find and click the control. That requires some effort.

What is the "Open Source Institute"? If you mean the Open Source Initiative, then yes, I have posted on open-source related topics here, yes, I am a member of the OSI (I joined... two weeks ago? mostly so I could vote for OSI board members who are committed to opposing corporate influence over the open source definition), and no, I do not have a conflict of interest. I paid the OSI $40 to join. I receive no money from the OSI; I certainly receive no money that Amazon donated to the OSI. I am not OSI staff, and I think the OSI only has one paid staff member. Saying there's a conflict of interest is like saying that individual ACLU members have a conflict of interest when speaking about a company that donates to the ACLU, or that Amazon Prime members have a conflict of interest when speaking about Amazon.

(I am, as it happens, rather opposed to Amazon as a company. I canceled my Prime membership; I try to shop anywhere else if possible; I celebrated the loss of NYC HQ2. But in this case, I think they're in the right.)

The same thing is true with thyroid tumors. A lot of people got their thyroids removed because they had tumors called "thyroid cancer", and now the consensus is that these tumors, while not completely benign, are so slow-growing that it's not worth it to remove them in most cases. Many times, people were only found to have these tumors after they had died (of something else).

> The url effectively contains the decryption key, so the web server could be set to capture the urls and decrypt files.

If that's the case, I think setting a passphrase should be mandatory. Proxy servers are extremely common at every workplace. Since they probably log all requests, they will capture all keys in the URL.
Yeah, not sure why this is causing such a freak out. Is this not standard A/B testing? Maybe A/B testing user agent isn't the best differentiator, but at my current gig, we've considered pushing a pricing difference based on Mac vs PC as Apple products are more of a Luxury device compared to the average PC.

It could even be a persistent fingerprint issue. Perhaps their A/B system is fingerprinting, and the two browsers are consistently fingerprinting in such a way as to produce a more deterministic split.

The market will pay what the market will bear, so if you don't like the higher price, then don't buy. Game the system and shop for the lower price if you want to drive the price lower.

Yum has been largely replaced by dnf, which is far and away better. Despite being a Debian/Slackware fan since 1998, I do find dnf quite nice. It's still a fair bit slower than apt or pacman, but it's clean and easy to use. Slackware actually has package management systems, but I encourage people to learn how to do things the old school way so they can learn Linux. If you know Slackware, you understand how Linux truly works. Package managers are great for production systems, especially stuff like apt and for the odd systems with software hangups, apt pinning.
Do you think Apple preventing the user from setting their default mapping app, default music app, or default mail app is anti competitive?

it might be a minor detail but it absolutely breaks how operating systems and deep links work if i cant set file and protocol associations. Im FORCED to either use Apple Mail OR avoid clicking email addresses and physical addresses and copy and pasting them into fields instead. Like I said, a minor detail on the surface, but I would argue massively anti competitive. Same goes with Microsoft forcing edge on people with alternative PDF viewers, or asking ARE YOU SURE when you try to switch default browsers. you should not be using your operating system position to force first party apps on people trying to switch. promoting them at the top of the app store list is one thing (which we can argue about being competitive cheating or not) but disallowing alternate defaults or dark ux patterns to trick users into new defaults is absolutely scummy.

Wait, what? How is that even legal? Not sure what's the exact meaning of "eq screenings" but anything related to political affiliation should be out of any interview process. At least in Europe discrimination on political views or other belief is completely illegal (with some exception for the church in some countries, e.g: Germany).
