At smaller firms, IT security training often consists of sending phishing emails, and trying to get employees to somehow navigate the (literally) dozens of TLD’s that outsourced company functions use for official company business.

I get the impression most industries are moving this way (by outsourcing everything they possibly can to *aaS).

I don’t understand why it has to be https://company.subcontractor.com, and not https://subcontractor.company.com

There’s probably a depressingly large and profitable industry waiting to be invented by the person that solves that problem.

From what I can tell, AMP email is a step in the other direction: run JS and active content as the email loads, presumably from an unauthenticated sender, and no https padlock that users already understand.
I used to think that way until I lived in NoVA for a couple of years. Cycling on the roads there would have been quite dangerous.
Yes if it's still under a warranty then Apple will repair or replace it free of charge.
A 5g tower is like a WiFi hotspot with maybe 2-3x the range. Any factors that apply to traditional home internet will apply to 5g as well because it needs the same internet access as your home WiFi hotspot.

This is not the case for 4g since the much lower frequencies (with much lower data rates) go much further meaning that the given last mile monopoly in an area has less of an effect on the 4g service.

If a cell phone carrier builds all of its own infrastructure to supply bandwidth to 5g towers, they are subject to all the same difficulties and delays as existing ISPs. This means that build out of 5g as fast as home internet will take decades and many areas will have only one or two options (same as the situation is with home internet).

The waters are muddied by the fact that carriers use “5g” to refer to what will be a wide range of service levels, but right now are only hyping the fastest possible imagined deployments.
> And their in store self service ordering kiosks are horrendously complicated already.

Small rant: a weird pleasure in Japan is using restaurant touchscreen consoles that don't take several million very laggy taps to complete a simple order. Places like Yayoiken[1] and Matsuya[2] have this down to a science. It's partly because of fewer menu options (although it's not like either one has a miniscule menu[3]).

Insert cash, tap tile, ticket immediately dispenses. Tap change button when done. The combination of denser screen layouts, decently responsive touchscreens and a near-complete lack of interstitial animations makes using these things extremely snappy. If you know what you want, the entire process can take maybe ten seconds.

The code I linked to was written in one session (probably) and it really isn't comparable to GCC in complexity. It's an interpreter, but one where the author has made no attempt to make the process of interpretation legible. He's too busy "achieving" things with his code.

I guess there should be a niche for people like that, but the APL/post-APL community seems to think that Arthur has special computer science knowledge that can be best (or only) expressed in this form. We all know that's bullshit.

When people always ask "how come healthcare is so much more affordable in countries outside the US?", the correct answer is rationing.

If you need joint replacement surgery in Canada, you can expect a wait of many months to years. Canada has made the call that they will put a certain dollar amount into joint replacement and if the demand is higher, then people will just have to wait.

Same thing with the latest and greatest drugs. Some countries just say "no".

If you want an affordable healthcare system in the US, then rationing has to be a part of the equation. As others have pointed out, we already ration in the US, but trustfully, if you have good insurance, you'll get very good care in the US. The question is whether all that extra care is actually producing better outcomes.
> Email should be plain text.

That ship sailed the moment it got named email, leading people to think of it as an electronic form of mail, and so to expect that eventually it could be used for any documents you would send by mail.

With mail, I can send anything I can print or handwrite on paper, which includes text in multiple fonts, graphics, charts, tables, in a variety of colors. I can also include anything that fits in the envelope, so I can include files on floppy or disc or memory card or a thin thumb drive.

Sure, earlier email systems could not handle anything more than plain text, but because it was called email many people assumed that was just because common computers and displays didn't have the capability to handle more.

Once the GUI became prevalent for home and office computers, rich email was inevitable.

In retrospect, if the people who designed the earlier email systems had wanted the restriction to plain text to be a design goal, rather than just a consequence of the technology of the day, they should have named it etelegram to make it clear.

I don't agree that it's a right, but these things are definitely needs that the government should ensure access to. I think of rights as things like equality and free speech. Calling it a privilege and pretending it's something you can just do without is insane. Healthcare is a similar issue. I don't think it's a right, yet I'm shocked by the number of people out there that literally want others to die, so they don't have to pay money.

My habitual response to these sorts of messages has been to just affirm the statement.

It's an effective way to sidestep having to pay attention until the person comes up with an actual question or request.
That's true from the standpoint of you want everyone to have access to equally marginal service, but not the latest or greatest service. Instead, I think this is a good argument for removing regulations and stopping the cronyism that inhibits competition.

It's the internet, it drives innovation. Let's stifle it by making a bazillion rules that everyone needs to follow and pay to play. Let's make sure that like most utilities, change and improvements happen at the slowest possible pace, because I like T1 and isdn, ever since they rolled back net neutrality I been stuck on these dial up lines..

Used stuff must be sold at a discount.
drug companies waste much of their research on copycat drugs rather than new treatments

Innovations in pharmaceuticals is often incremental, not huge leaps forward. You have 4 different cancer drugs, each one adds 6 months of life for each launch and you end up with 2 extra years of life.

As well, copycats are needed, because not every drug reacts the same in everyone. If you need to lower your cholesterol, you have dozens of different statins to choose from. Some you won't be able to tolerate, others you can. Options are good, not bad.
I don't know how or even really if it applies, but the phrase "too clever by half", and in particular the article that has appeared here several times before [1] came to mind.

Also a thing I've thought about, which is echoed in the opening bits of the article, is that many people will buy or build a starter home, and then over time build it up into something much fancier or larger. At which point, it isn't really a starter home anymore, and who is going to want to buy such a thing when they could just do the same over time except in the style they actually wanted?

> Only the profit is privatized. It has always been thus.

This is false. Just the other day we had a discussion on another Alzheimer's drug failure [1]. From the linked article, "Biogen and Eisai will discontinue two late-stage trials designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the drug, aducanumab, which has cost the partners more than $830 million over the past three years." This comes after Eli Lilly spent $3 billion on another Alzheimer's drug, that failed in 2016, and other failures from Merck and Johnson & Johnson. There's a fortune being spent on the last steps of getting a drug to market, or not.

One might argue that there has been some regulatory capture, that the pharmaceutical giants have happily acquiesced with the FDA in making drug trials more and more expensive. Now only the giants can afford trials, and small companies have to go through them. But the trials are absolutely extremely expensive.

The other major cost with pharmaceutical marketing is just personnel. When you have 200,000 prescribers (for example) in the US, you're going to need thousands of sale reps. Otherwise how else do you communicate with your customers?
> something like uploading copyrighted content to YouTube

Even that ain't clear cut. For example, if I upload a song to YouTube that's a remix of another song, and someone else uploads their own remix and registers it with ContentID, there's a risk that my remix will be flagged as "infringing" upon the other remix even though it is not a derivative of the other (and the other does not hold the copyright on the shared samples that triggered the ContentID detection).

I happen to know this because one of my own songs got erroneously flagged for this exact reason. Thankfully I was able to reach out to the company that submitted the ContentID registration on behalf of the "original" author, and they were able to rescind it (uploading remixes of songs to their ContentID management platform was in violation of their terms of service, so it was an open-and-shut case); else, I would've had to risk my own account getting flagged to death, since going through YouTube's appeals process would've been the only other option.

Exactly, people want to make this a simple case (outline is really just a browser by a different name) but copyright isn't a bright line domain: intent matters and outline is just re-hosting other peoples content for broad consumption.
The point is that it isn't novel. Novelty is supposed to be a requirement for a patent claim to be patentable. This patent is like making a drink by mixing 4 different fruit juices, but stirring it with a teak spoon. No identical prior art, very specific claims. Not novel.

Maybe I didn’t read this carefully enough, but how exactly do you legalize a gang?

I thought at least in US, there is no “being in a gang” charge. A random news search shows people who were called “gang members” but arrested for charges like illegal gun possession [0]. So how do we decriminalize that?

Indeed. Companies have a limited time to recoup costs. Once the patent runs out, that $10,000 drug turns into a $500 drug. Forever. That benefit can't be ignored.

Drug costs are ~10% of all healthcare spending in the US. Even if the gov't created all the drugs and made them "free", we'd still be spending double the next closest developed country.

Drug spending might be very visible to the public, but it's not a major contributor to healthcare costs.

The author literally writes "Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is an awful name for one of the most powerful communication courses I’ve ever taken."

So clearly the author/article is not endorsing the term, but using it for the purpose of familiarity and conciseness.

> the equivocation of words to violence is part of the postmodern attack on science

I've been a sympathiser with the culture-wars faction that makes claims like this, and whilst I've not exactly switched to an opposing faction, I've come around to a more moderate view of things, after personal experiences gave me a deep understanding of the way words and their style of delivery can be subconsciously perceived as physical threats.

We can accept this whilst still resisting such fears being exaggerated and misused by those with destructive culture-wars agendas.

It's clear to anyone committed to civility and empathy, that the way we express our communications can make a big difference to the way they are perceived and to the outcomes that are achieved.
I don’t see how this is functionally different than having your wages garnished by a court order. Deadbeat dads are subject to the same financial scrutiny in the US. I get the feeling now that much of the criticism of this system is just Western media clickbait.

Japan is ... complicated. NTT is required to offer access to its fiber, but also offers its own Internet service. The Japanese government also continues to be the majority shareholder in NTT, so NTT gets preferential treatment because the Japanese government benefits from NTT’s profitability. The Japanese government also gave direct cash subsidies to NTT for building fiber. Japan also has extremely lax rules for running fiber. If you look around Tokyo, the utilities are hanging out in the open all over the place. That makes the build much cheaper. Also, they’re Japanese so they’re good at building infrastructure.

You couldn’t replicate that in say San Francisco just by separating the infrastructure, while still requiring everything to be buried and look pretty, and requiring unprofitable neighborhoods to be served at the ISP’s expense, etc., and all of the roadblocks places like San Francisco throw up to development. All with San Francisco municipal government types overseeing everything and San Francisco NIMBYs protesting and filing lawsuits over the color of the fiber distribution hubs. It wouldn’t work.
Yeah, no.

Regulators put no money into it other than what it costs to fund it's own regulatory process. And, under PDUFA, drug manufactures pay >$1M to fund the review of their drug. It's paid for by industry.

Yes, clinical trials are often run by hospitals and universities, but manufacturers pay for everything. Drugs, people, etc.

And you forgot to mention that failures are privatized too. Spend $500M on a trial that fails? That's not the public's money, that's investors money.
I love CloudFlare, but wow they have a tremendous amount of control over the sites they proxy. While the folks in this thread have done a fine job explaining why this wouldn’t work or save money, I am curious if there are any legit alternatives to a major CDN. It seems like an open/community approach could be viable if people where to pool resources for edge servers and bandwidth bills. It would take auditable infrastructure throughput. I know, blockchain... pitchfork... but maybe CDN is an actually awesome use case for a distributed system. If torrents weren’t the charred earth of the DRM wars, it could probably work as well if it caching could be optimized well enough through the entire route.

It’s hard to imagine that any distributed solution could compete on first byte and overall latency; CloufFlare is too amazing at that. I really wish you could just check out my site to your device and receive a stream of updates, maybe as a micropayment per update for web publishers. That way content procurement is a one-time affair for the consumer, and ongoing consumption is billable in bites/bytes, not by monthly subscriptions. What if you could distribute source binaries for micropayments as well, funding bandwidth and development efforts with fees associated with actual use? Damn, there I go sounding like a blockchain pitch again.

I see the publishing industry running towards membership models and quickly going to be warring over a diminishing wallet share. Apple now looms large. Something has to be done, or FANG efforts to ‘help the news industry’ will result in greater control of media consumption at every level. Bloody megacorps deciding how to optimize their Q4 with our brains.

Does working with a commercial CDN the best for the web we want to give to our grandkids?

I imagine this was it. I was starting high school in 2008, and I hadn't felt so connected with my friends than that first year or so that Facebook became popular. Previously, I would go home after school, and typically wouldn't see most of them until the next school day. That fall, everyone I knew signed up for Facebook, and we would all be online, chatting and posting dumb things on each other's walls.
Honestly it sounds like you're really good at what you do. Why not go for a tech lead role rather than management? Best of both worlds. Little bit of column A, little bit of column 2.

I've stayed in countless Airbnb rentals and the only time I saw a camera was in a common area shared with other guests. This was disclosed. There is no "hidden camera problem" on Airbnb.

As a (legal) Superhost I place a lot of trust in my guests and have never felt the need to record them. Maybe this is because I meet at my guests in person or have a trusted friend do so. I've never felt the need to record what is going on. I am able to check my Wi-Fi remotely and see how many devices are logged on, but also don't care to do so.

If you feel the need to record guests constantly you're either a) too nervous, b) creepy or c) a commercial operator.

That being said Airbnb has put a lot of pressure on hosts to accept guests with no previous reviews. They also no longer let hosts see guests' profile pictures until after booking a booking is accepted. This makes it harder for hosts to trust guests.

My new company in the US can safely ignore the EU when it comes to both Article 13 and GDPR. There is nothing they can do about it. I can take on EU users, who can freely upload content, and I do not need to comply with the EU filter laws.

There is merely one primary requirement: all of my business and infrastructure must remain outside of the EU. So long as I do that, I get to avoid those laws. This of course isn't unique to the US, the same is true of most other non-EU nations.
