> You do have an alternative to work for yourself in one form or another. You lose this alternative under socialism.

I don't think you even understand what socialism is, and seem to think that it's just "central planning." If you're going to talk about socialism like you did, I think it's important to specify which socialism you're referring to.

In Chomsky's case, given his ideological sympathies, I don't think the kind of "socialism" he desires would have any issue if someone chose "to work for [themselves] in one form or another." Here are some references that might help with understanding where he's coming from:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_Chomsky:

> Ideologically, [Chomsky] aligns with anarcho-syndicalism and libertarian socialism.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism

> Libertarian socialism (also known as socialist libertarianism)[1] is a group of anti-authoritarian[2] political philosophies inside the socialist movement that rejects the conception of socialism as centralized state ownership and control of the economy.[3] Libertarian socialism is close to and overlaps with left-libertarianism[4][5] and criticizes wage labour relationships within the workplace,[6] instead emphasizing workers' self-management of the workplace[7] and decentralized structures of political organization.[8][9][10]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarcho-syndicalism

> Syndicalists consider their economic theories a strategy for facilitating worker self-activity and as an alternative co-operative economic system with democratic values and production centered on meeting human needs.

> The basic principles of anarcho-syndicalism are solidarity, direct action (action undertaken without the intervention of third parties such as politicians, bureaucrats and arbitrators) and direct democracy, or workers' self-management. The end goal of syndicalism is to abolish the wage system, regarding it as wage slavery.
I would add to those two "and brings value to others". There are plenty of things you might love doing and are good at, that will leave you destitute and unfulfilled if you devote your life to them.

ELI5: How can the universe be "infinitely big" yet have a measurable "finite age" and the velocity arc of the 'expanding' universe not be some known rate? Such that we can estimate the actual farthest distance.

And WHAT THE HECK is the universe 'expanding into'?

The answers to these questions make me dubious on tiny-human understanding of the nature of reality.

For B2B, HN and PH users rarely convert, so you would do nothing, because it's not "taking off" -- it's being flooded with tire-kickers. I think people put too much focus on launching on HN, Reddit, PH, etc. And you also shouldn't expect "hyper growth." I went nearly a year without a paying customer. Growth is a slow thing, not an overnight thing (I know, I know, you hear about these romanticized stories a lot and it's hard not to expect it for yourself). Expecting hyper growth from these channels will result in you giving up early due to unrealistic expectations of bad marketing channels. You're not going to get seed funding because you got a sudden spike in bad traffic.

For B2C, I'm not sure on conversion rates, so I won't comment on that.
As cool as this could be, this service is not passing any company-grade backup quality requirements. Also, the price is a complete no. Not because 5€/m is much, but because 5€/m can get you hundreds of GBs of storage in AWS Glacier, with contractual guarantees about your data, how it's managed, etc...

Basically, this is a toy. Use it as a toy, not as a service where you'd actually put your company files.

That said, good job!

I mostly associate procrastination with the inability to make myself want to deal with chores that seem alienating and dumb and like impositions from a boring bureaucratic external system that makes fundamental demands on me as a person with no personal connection—bookkeeping, entering long numbers into bank web apps, registering my residential address by filling out a form, going through KYC questionnaires over the phone, writing a report I know nobody will read, etc. And it’s worse the more the task is imbued with some kind of fake urgency by prudish pedantic adults while I also know that the negative consequences of not doing the thing on time are likely to be rather tame like a small fine or just a little bureaucratic slap on the wrist. I procrastinate with the same chores that might make me imagine dropping out of society to live on a homestead or as a monk. Probably I would get through these things easier if I had some “ADHD medicine” as the kids call it these days.

> Selling equity in a startup is very different from taking on debt, with debt your committing the business to a strategy

wha? selling debt you are committing yourself to a financial obligation, selling equity you are committing yourself to a strategy in the hope that that strategy will be successful.. yes, it is not binding fiscally and so the strategy can be renegotiated without penalty, but that doesn't by proxy imply the converse that debt inherently requires a fixed strategy..

this is why you can get cash flow/line of credit loans based simply on historical accounting data, etc..

that said getting loans under false pretenses is also fraud. YMMV

For better or worse, when remote working gets normed in a company location or group it tends to naturally expand. A lot of people who are more or less indifferent between working in the office or staying home stop coming in because so many of their co-workers aren't there.

I was skeptical not due to Amazon but rather the involvement of the NC.

I also am not sure which minimum wage is being referred to - the sheltered workshop wage (a few dollars per hour and federal law, not the state subminimum law), the Seattle minimum wage or the federal minimum ($10.35 and only applies with the sheltered workshop exemption.)

Since the NC was caught violating state and city laws, they've claimed they don't have to comply with said regulations as their workers are contractors and only federal disability and wage law applies to them. In that case, the minimum is $10.35 - unless the sheltered workshop exemption is invoked, in which case the wage is a few dollars per hour. Those few dollars are still above the statutory subminimum wage, so the quote could refer to the sheltered workshop wage and still be true.
Yup, I have used the NFL one. I don't care that it's not live because I don't want to spend my daytime hours watching football, but I'm happy to watch my out-of-market team after-the-fact while I eat dinner. Particularly on 60 minute replay.

I'm really interested in F1 TV, but I suspect they'll never offer the features I want:

* Play via AndroidTV or AppleTV

* Live OR replay

* 2nd-screen sync for tablet or computer so I can watch telemetry and data and driver views.

It's definitely a non-starter to have to cast from my laptop to my TV, and only have a single-screen experience. I really want the main broadcast on my TV and only choose to have the telemetry or driver views as a second screen.
Well, there are CD-RWs
I've seen religious tactics applied effectively for this,

The potential voter is asked to swear over a religious artifact after receiving the money (bribe).

e.g. For Hindu voters, a plate with oil lamp, an idol, a mixture of auspicious powder is used.The voter should swear over it that they will vote for that particular candidate.

Elections are the main reason, politicians ensure religious superstitions flourish in India inspite of evil practices like casteism, sharia etc. Even when India's constitution is godless & secular (amended).

Thanks to really noble people behind India's constitution.

I thought Red was just a weird language for making UI.

From their main page:

> It has been a tough year 2018, filled with roller-coasters and instability. The constant dropping of the crypto markets has forced us to change our plans pretty much every three months, in order to cope with that market uncertainty and our diminishing means. Though we have taken measures to ensure the proper funding for Red project for the next few years, so no worries on that side. All that has slowed down work on Red's core and even our new C3 language.
> get a digital card that they can use anywhere Apple Pay

Apply Pay users: how broad is Apply Pay adoption? Is this a viable replacement for a VISA, Mastercard or AMEX?

I'm intrigued by the privacy angle to this, seeing as VISA and Mastercard apparently share and/or sell a lot of transaction data with/to third parties.

Edit: The article has been updated: As rumored, Apple is partnering with Goldman Sachs for Apple Card, with Mastercard handling payment processing. The mastercard network, plus the benefits Apples is offering (eg 2pct cashback), could make this really attractive.
I've personally had rifles fail after firing thousands of rounds, which can happen in a surprisingly short period of time.
The Joy of Statistics
Interesting that there's 2% rewards on Apple Pay purchases and 1% when you use the physical card. What happens if you use it to make a purchase online? Presumably that's 1%? It's not Apple Pay, after all (in almost all cases).
The fact that GCC is now in C++ has to account for something :-)
There's a physical card you can use as well.
Surprisingly, a carbohydrate-only meal provides an immediate, drastic increase in serotonin biosynthesis. A high protein meal does not. And it's probably pretty irrelevant to clinical stuff because there have to be high protein meals in the past to get the effect.

The reasons are:

- Trp transport into CNS is rate limited by large neutral amino acid (LNAAt) transporter

- Trp has a lower affinity for LNAAt than other amino acids

- Trp, 5HTP, serotonin are strongly buffered by blood plasma proteins

So, with a high protein meal, the isoleucine, phenylalanine etc. are outcompeting typtophan at getting into the brain. With a low protein meal, insulin triggers uptake of amino acids into tissue (again, preferentially stuff that's not Trp), and Trp in blood is enriched as it dissociates from plasma proteins. Then the composition of blood amino acids is mostly Trp so it is taken up by brain tissue.

Oh I agree with you. Nazism is no more mystical than HIV or cancer. My point is more that society doesn't view it's in that way. WWII has become a big thing in the minds of people who had no direct involvement. It has assumed a cultural and political significance that is much more symbolic than how it was viewed in the past. And when something becomes symbolic it assumes a rhetorical and emotional power. You can talk about nazi evil and everyone knows what you mean, without really having any direct understanding of what it actually means in a practical sense.

And in a practical sense the key is always to consider the effect of bad actions on individual people. It is about human rights and dignity. And that is what nationalists want to destroy. They value the "nation" more highly than they value individual humans. That is what made Nazis bad. Everything else is just fact based symbolism that can be twisted to support any argument you want.
I think there's a big fundamental difference between "programming" (with source code) and "reverse engineering". Cydia Substrate definitely looks like the latter.

I also think there's a big difference between "programming" and "toggle a single bit of configuration". You got a different behavior which didn't require programming because someone else had already gone to all the effort of programming it, and you only needed to find the secret switch to enable it.

If there's any system in common use today which allows subclassing applications to permit users to change arbitrary behavior, or plucking out a single function to re-use in a different context, I'd love to hear about it. We've got open-source, but most of those are really not at all designed for end-user programming.

The closest example I can think of today is Greasemonkey.

Recycling can work for certain things like paper, especially corrugated cardboard. The most ridiculous thing was back in the 80s when the decision was made that cutting down trees for paper bags was a bad thing and to use plastic bags instead. So instead of using a renewable resource we are stuck with plastic bags that end up everywhere and jam up recycling machines. Let's at least go back to paper or use more multi-use bags.

Deduplication is one the things that drove me to Borg: it has the speed and space saving of an incremental backup but every single backup can be used as it was a full backup.

It is also very easy to setup a pruning policy for old backups, so that you can say that you want to keep one backup per day for 90 days and after that only one backup per month for 2 years.
More than just encryption, this will run afoul of FCC part 97.305(c) and 97.307(f)(6) which says on the 70cm band that the maximum symbol rate cannot exceed 56kbaud and the bandwidth cannot exceed 100kHz. However the underlying transceiver chip can also work on the 33cm band where these limits no longer apply.
I was initially skeptical of Apple diversifying into services, but wow they might have just created the next generation bank (I'm sure they'll become a bank at some point). Their rewards scheme is simple and intuitive. Their privacy features are amazing. They're solving the incomprehensible receipt problem with more intuitive receipts that tags locations on your device and then generate intuitive spending summaries.

The privacy features are even better. No one gets to mine your data, which is incredible! And wow their new card just looks gorgeous and it might be the most secure card ever. It is chip only so that means no more easy skimming and there's no need to change/cancel card numbers when your purse goes missing.

This is the way of the future. Wow.
I can purchase online using Apple Pay. I'm assuming it requires using MacOS and the seller has to enable it on their end too.

https://www.apple.com/apple-pay/where-to-use/

Overall I try and use Apple Pay where I can and find about 2/3 of the time I want to use it I can. My biggest struggles have essentially been at smaller stores that still just have basic square swipers and obviously the occasional cash only locations.
A physical credit card with no credit card number, cvv code, expiration date, or signature? This is such a simple security idea that I’m surprised more companies don’t do it.
In Canada I pay for pretty much everything with Apple Pay. It is accepted wherever there is tap available. There is only one coffee shop out of 100+ stores in my town that I can think of that doesn't support Apple Pay
Oh, and 1% on physical card purchases.
It is really a superheros story, just subtler and more dramatic.
I like the value proposition; simple and more transparent credit management with increased privacy. This now has to complete with cards that have consumer purchase protection, customer service, and airline benefits.
I use it everyday (never have my physical cards with me anymore). Everywhere you can pay with contactless credit cards, you can pay with Apple Pay.
Not sure what to think of this. Somehow I would prefer if Apple kept building technology platforms that then enable other parties to develop solutions but instead they seem to be moving into a totally integrated platform. The business success is there but from a technology point of view I find Apple has been pretty unexciting over the last years. They have turned into a well run big tech company like Microsoft under Ballmer. Good business but not very exciting.
afaiu from the announcement:

Apple doesn’t know what you purchased, Goldman Sachs is not allowed to sell the data.
It sounds like Apple's doing a lot of things very right with Card. I am curious when it's going to be available here in Germany.
In Chicago, a lot of chain stores allow for Apple Pay, such as Aldis and Dunkin Donuts. But it’s hit or miss for independent shops. Some nice coffee shops and restaurants have tablets, but these often aren’t equipped to take Apple Pay.
The title is misleading because Telegram already allows me to delete my messages on other people's devices.

The changes are:

* No more deadlines. Instead of 48 hours, you can now delete messages from the other person's device at any time.

* You can now delete the other person's messages from their device!

> How else can I show my support to the small phone factor?

Buy all of them. If Apple saw the SE refurbished stocks are going within a short amount of time, it might tip them off that small form factor is still a thing in mobile phones these days and maybe they reverse their decision to discontinue the small form factor phones.
there are a few "buy me a coffee" websites that basically act as a middle man for stripe that take 2-3% fee.
Bad usability precludes good accessibility. You seem to be implying that accessibility is just about being able to access the content. That's wrong, accessibility is about ease of access to the content. If what you were saying were true, then semantically correct HTML wouldn't be a WCAG requirement. But semantically correct HTML improves usability for people using assistive technologies, thus it is an important part of designing accessible content. Accessibility IS dependent on usability.

If just the ability to access the content was the only factor in designing accessible content, then you could just tell your blind clients to view the page source and read it character by character. But obviously that would not be acceptable because it creates a significant barrier for usability that sighted clients would not face. Designing accessible content is about removing barriers that make it harder for people with disabilities to access the content, and bad usability is one of those barriers.

Apple Card, a new kind of credit card created by Apple
Since it's from a group with a known idealogical basis, it's not going to be an open minded discussion. But the next question is why wouldn't they like recycling? They seem to make a lot of manufactured chemical and plastic products, do they want you to not recycle because they sell you less new plastics?

It does seems like round 1 of us recycling in the 21st century is going to need big changes so we can get a scheme that will actually work for recycling.
So basically the Spotify or Netflix of magazines together with a couple of newspapers. Cool idea.

But without it being available on Android or Windows, it seems so hamstrung that I can't see it turning into a game-changer for the publishing world.

Also feels like it would need a top-tier level that would include the NYT, WaPo, New Yorker, Economist, etc.
I'm disabled myself. I don't disagree with the contention in your last paragraph.

That said, as a former founder from Seattle, I'm quite aware of the NC's shenanigans. If there's scope to pay the proper minimum wage to these employees ($10.35 based on the NC's arguments that only federal disability and wage laws apply to them) then I'd prefer to see that happen.

As it stands, if one assumes the NC's stance on contractor wages to be correct, the disabled workers could still be paid a few dollars per hour. This would still be above the subminimum wage, so the article's quote about being above the minimum wage would still be accurate. But these workers would be missing out on $7-8 dollars per hour that federal wage law demands they be paid.
In my opinion, this doesn't really offer any value as the only way to get a good understanding of the news is to read from lots of different places and come to a view. Using this strategy then consuming a truly "random" site is better than consuming pre reviewed site as there is no bias in selection or outcome.

It's not like films, where each one is independent (except marvel and dc comics obviously :)
