I hate to borrow a phrase from the white nationalism, being a pretty vocal socialist, but when will enough be enough? When will people realize that theoretical notions about "freedom" aren't, in practice, justification for letting children die? To be clear what I'm saying is that the state has an obligation to protect children by having them vaccinated and as such the parents contrary desire shouldn't matter one bit.

We have kind of the same in Germany, and our overview on Wikipedia[1] looks even more complicated and expensive than yours[1]. You're still not allowed to circumvent effective copyright protections to make your private copy. But I'd be surprised if e.g. music only available with DRM would be excluded from earning a share of that fee.

Interestingly, before the recent EU copyright reform, this fee benefited only authors directly, instead of the rights holder.

It wasn't attention that made brought these cultures together. It was the fact that modern social media platforms are tailor-made for people to find other people with similar interests.

When you were the only flat-earther you knew, you kept mum about your lunacy. When Facebook recommends that you join the Pittsburgh Flat-Earth Society, all of a sudden, you have dozens of people who will validate your beliefs.

Social media - especially, bubble filter social media - is a new, incredibly virulent vector for ideas.
I used to love Evernote, but for some time it felt like they were hyperfocused on adding features I had no use for (collaboration, business integration...) while making the stuff I did use slower and buggier. The last straw when I emptied the trash and it perma-deleted over 100 of my non-trash notes. From the comments here it sounds like that sort of shit wasn't all that uncommon.

Once I found out that OneNote had launched Mac and Android versions, I switched immediately, and found that OneNote just feels sleeker and more usable to me anyway. My one annoyance with it is that the Mac version of OneNote is fairly stripped-down, where EN had feature parity across all desktop platforms. But I'm using my MacBook less and less these days.

I recent saw a couple of cases of small companies who chose to depend on Stripe for managing their payment data to save cost on initial development. As a result, their operations staff struggled between Stripe's admin panel and their internal tools even to answer simple user questions.

Eventually, when they decided to streamline their payment and billing operations on their own tools, due to historical data on Stripe servers, they built a custom presentation layer on top of Stripe APIs. They ended up spending pretty much the same time and effort as they would have done by managing the business flows on their own systems and storing all the data on their DBs and using Stripe just for processing payments. Worse yet, they still depend on Stripe for stuff like reporting.

I can't decide whether to blame social media or traditional media. Sure, social media is currently a cesspool of antivaxxers, but the latest wave got started in the late 90s through newspapers, magazines, TV news, and especially daytime TV talk shows. These outlets are now glad that we don't remember their role in the problem.
You know, societies had great pseudo-scientific movements before FB and Twitter. Eugenics was gigantic for decades in the early 20th Century, ending up being a big feeder into fascist ideologies. Chiropraxy started out of nothing in 1895 and now (and well before FB), you can find chiropractors everywhere. Homeopathy was pretty conclusively debunked in the 19th Century and that didn't stop it from being commonly available today (and in the 90's, well before social media).
I care about privacy very deeply. I care more about privacy than the 'immense value' that garbage like facebook provides the world. The 'anything to hide' argument is an authoritarian call, and a way to devalue personal agency wrt privacy. No, I have nothing to share.

Your attitude disgusts me. Wake up and see what damage you and your employers are thrusting upon humanity!

Little over the top don't you think. California's law (no more non-medical exemptions for kids who attend schools) seems to be working as intended and vaccination rates are up. Of course, it's not perfect. The rate of supposed medical exemptions have gone up a bit. And keeping unvaccinated children from attending school obviously doesn't prevent all contact.

But overall it seems a reasonable compromise between anything goes and sending a SWAT team to vaccinate kids at gunpoint. There are legitimate medical exemptions after all so you can't expect to hit 100% coverage anyway. It just turns out that a lot of anti-vax parents aren't so anti-vax that they're willing to stay home and home school their children.

This certainly isn't short, but I don't know how to make it shorter, as I don't know what you don't know, and what you want to know.

You need a DRM "capable" video component to be allowed to play most internet video content that isn't directly user generated, or news.

The consequence is that the giants holding the rights to these components are effectively holding the keys to a decent chunk of the internet. For a browser specifically made for synced playback of movies, they essentially hold the keys to all of it. The big movie studios simply won't allow either streaming or download without you using one of these solutions on both ends of the stream.

The author applied for some form of license of the purportedly free and open Widevine DRM component which is used/approved by almost all big streaming sites. The request was rejected citing a somewhat odd reason: That the project was open source.

This is odd because https://github.com/castlabs/electron-releases is open source, apparently "blessed" by Google/Widevine, and available to use on the only condition you get a license from Widevine. Which should then be impossible?

Which leads us to several somewhat plausible conclusions. Either the author requested the wrong licence/needs a feature not available in previously mentioned projects, someone at Widevine made a mistake, or there is a lot of smoke and mirrors going on to either make it seem Widevine is accessible to anyone when it truly isn't.
Only in the case of Firefox is it really third-party code; both Chrome, Edge, and Safari ship with the EME modules developed by the respective companies, but they still sandbox it.

Plugins like Flash, which are the historic answer for DRM on the web, have a huge surface space and can interact in the browser in all kinds of odd ways. These EME modules are much smaller, they are much less powerful (AFAIK they either return a frame to the browser to composite or directly to the OS compositor, so you don't need to worry about how they change layout and then change layout again as you reflow), and as a result of that can be put in stricter sandboxes. That's a clear win from a browser security and stability point-of-view, which is a concrete benefit for browser vendors in making it viable to drop Flash (and dropping Flash without providing a replacement for encumbered video isn't an option: breaking websites like Netflix will cause users to use other/older browsers that do support Flash).
Influencers are regulated by the FTC and have to disclose that they're compensated for the review: https://www.ftc.gov/about-ftc/foia/frequently-requested-reco...

And here's your startup idea: Build a complete and configurable front-end to Stripe Billing that does all the hard work behind the scenes and lets existing Stripe users "upgrade" to billing without the implementation pain.

I've researched something like this some months ago and couldn't find anything that had the quality and features we needed. I'm sure lots of companies would pay for a solution like this (my company included).
Some comments based on my understanding of the situation. I'm an engineer and I'm interested in the study of engineering failures. So, I have been following this. Initially I was thinking the blame was being unfairly placed on the MCAS system. However, now I understand more, I suspect it is a serious safety problem.

The reason is as you say, MCAS runaway (e.g. due to a failed AoA sensor) does not behave like a normal runaway trim (e.g. continuous trim movement). That is key. Watching Youtube videos was helpful in understanding what the pilot experiences. I initially thought the pilot should easily notice the trim moving because of the large trim wheel beside them. However, in normal takeoff, the trim is being adjusted automatically and so pilots learn to ignore it changing. Second, I think with the 737 MAX, the sound made by the trim wheel has been changed (removed)?

Using the stab trim cutout switches is a drastic measure (occurs as nearly last item on memory checklist) and, as I understand it, the only way to stop a misbehaving MCAS from doing its bad work. If the pilots are even a little slow in figuring out what's happening, I can easily imagine that leading to disaster. Also, if they to realize the problem and flick the switches off, manually cranking the trim wheel the other way takes time and it takes some serious physical strength to do it. I can imagine that if the MCAS moves the trim fully the wrong way, the pilots might not be able to fix it quickly enough.

Then you are in the minority. If there was a mass of people like you then someone could build an alternative and you could use it. That mass doesn't exist though. Most people don't see FB as "garbage" and until you recognize that, then you have a minority opinion (totally ok!) just don't expect billion dollar products to cater to your view.
It didn't take me nearly as long to implement Stripe Billing (a couple of days) but that's because all they can do is sign up for my one subscription plan, cancel, and update their card.

There are surprising edge cases that crop up. For example, canceling a subscription and then restarting it is actually somewhat painful.

But yes, their documentation is stellar!

I have known anti-vaxxers, but your point stands: they're a relatively small but growing group, and a few years ago, they were a tiny group.

So we have a small but rapidly growing group of people, widely distributed, who believe in some insane things.

> But judging by the posts on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, et al, it makes it seem like every other person on the street is believing this stuff.

Social media sites, by definition, want people to spend as much time on the site as possible. One way to get people to come to a site and stay is to have quality content. But...

> ... outrage culture loves having a scarecrow to pillory ...

This is slightly out of the context you posted it in, but this is the second to last step. Nothing holds people's attention more effectively than more primitive emotions, stuff that comes from our limbic system, a part of our brain that hosts fear, pleasure and anger.

In the not so distant past, the number of people an average person could communicate with was strictly limited. We were all highly partitioned, and information that went to the masses was highly curated.

This brings us to the final point: the social media sites actively seek to bring like-minded people together, and also directly and indirectly bring people together in a way that will create fights.

All of these serve to maximize site engagement, and thus profitability.

I'm skipping a lot of steps here, but I hope this will shed some light on the topic.

My point is, they don't have to spread their message. We'll spread it for them. It looks something like this.

"Hi, I've never actually met a flat earther, but here's a comically bad argument they might make. Now, listen to me mouthbreathe into my microphone for the next 4 hours while I do a point by point exhaustive takedown video on why the world is indeed, a sphere. Join me next week for my next 4 hour installment where I continue to debate arguments they might make if I actually knew someone who was a flat earther."

The video will convince 1 person the world is round. For another 10 people, however, they will see resistance to their weakly held idea as evidence that they're believing the correct thing. Counter intuitively, this makes them grasp it tighter, like a Chinese Finger Trap. The harder you fight them, the more solid their viewpoint gets.

Oh, my bad. I don't know how I managed to live a year in the city and not know about the second line. I've only ridden the BWI/Hunt Valley trains.
Overnight trains are wonderful for traveling and saving a night's hotel. I used to take sleeper cars in China for distances that made sense (e.g. board at 9pm, arrive 7am). Some with shorter distances even optimized on sleep so that the train would stop for an hour outside the final station and arrive at a reasonable time in the morning. Unfortunately and similar with Europe, high speed rail has ended many of these schedules. On a side note, I've also failed to take this train multiple times in Japan due to its popularity: https://www.japan-rail-pass.com/japan-by-rail/travel-tips/su...

There is no planning process that can effectively deal with long tail existential risks like that. It's silly to fault OKRs for not solving it when nothing else has.

KR: Do project X to insurance co.'s satisfaction to lower our premiums
KR: prevent regressions in existing compliance by running regular audits

While this outsources the scoring problem to an insurer, at least they have multiple customers to amortize over and extract some data from.
