Taxes are explicitly and intentionally not fair. It's not fair that I pay taxes to public schooling when I could just send my kids to a private school. It's not fair that I pay taxes to the roads when I drive significantly less than average. It's not fair that I pay taxes to subsidize the USPS when I don't ever mail things.

Nothing about taxation is fair because it's not intended to be fair. We agree that society as a whole benefits from every child having access to a high quality education. We agree that society as a whole benefits from free and easy travel. I read an economic report a while back (still trying to find it) that posited that a significant contributor to the US's current economic success and high rate of entrepreneurial system was the USPS. The ability for everybody to mail anything anywhere on the cheap allowed for an untold number of companies to exist and be competitive.

To pretend like taxes should be associated with the consumption of government services is a-historical, fallacious, and based on any number of lies that vilify the poor for being poor.

> volatility is a sign of health

Say that to the workers that got laid off, lost earnings and perhaps even the health insurance their family depends on.
Their standards of living are better due to improvements in technology, not capitalism. Unless you think that the technological improvements we have today are only due to capitalism, but I'm not so sure that's the case.

> Binary is bullshit.

Um, no. Reality dictates that everything is based on relativity and probability, but the logic that everything technically falls into a grey area doesn't mean that abstractions like male and female, man and woman (silos that the vast vast majority of people fall into) aren't useful, practical, or real.

If one believes that binary is bullshit, then be consistent and accept metaphysical nihilism. Accept that binary in computers is "bullshit" because a 1 can be represented by an infinite number of voltages, and sometimes 0 is represented by a really low voltage. Ignorant binary-normative CPUs!

I don't care how people identify, how they have sex, how they love, etc. People should be able to express their true selves, but I'm getting tired of the constant disdain against normalcy. I've never quite fit in anywhere I go so I think I can understand what it's like to want society to conform to one's vision. Part of being a part of society is some level of conformity and accepting that other people aren't like you.

If binary-non-conforming people want acceptance, then they ought to quit acting like my sex and my gender are bullshit. Gay people didn't achieve their current status in society, as better as it could be, by telling gay people that there's no such thing as "straight" sex.

> Gender is about your identity, your expression, and it's often based on your idea of sex.

If gender isn't related to the perception or expression of biological sex, then what is it? If sex is optional for gender, then how is gender different from fashion?

I could go on point by point, but those two things really address most of the video.

EDIT: For clarity, I'm not saying that I don't think that gender isn't a form of fashion. I'm saying that, if the variable of sex is removed, then it's a totally useless word that can be substituted with the word fashion. (in which case it's bizarre that people are trying to make other people like their sense of fashion)
They certainly didn't create streaming. Arguably, Rhapsody did

That's the name that eluded me; my initial comment was going to mention Grooveshark but was sure there was another player who was in on the game very early on so thanks for jogging the memory there.
Does anyone know if CRISPR has been or even can be used as a treatment? If the gene could be identified prenatally?

Most of your examples are covered by rules and regulation in order to try to get the most out of the technology without too much adverse effects. The point here is that we should do the same for "AI", and that we should start thinking about this now.
I actually do think the second scenario is better. Some people will lack a convenience in the intervening three months (and remember that's a very optimistic case; it could be4 much longer). But at least a person with a disability won't lose their job because it now requires an app that they can't use.

Just a little PSA, 1Password7 let's you run entirely on local vault files. I have a NAS at home (Synology, but you could use whatever) to sync that vault file between it and all my devices, mobile included, only on wifi. I subscribe to 1Password's monthly model with the cloud services, but I just don't use any of them, and they have settings on every client which let you choose the default vault for saving, and I just use the local one. Best in class apps, local password storage only. Best of both worlds, unless there is some angle I'm missing.
The iMessage domination is automatic -- if you message from an Apple device to a phone number that happens to be an Apple device (which the sender might be oblivious to), it's an iMessage. People aren't subscribing to iMessage, or intentionally choosing it, the thing is just the default in that case.

Apple Music heavily pushed, on the device, a 3 month free trial, and it's about time that most of those 3 month trials expire. I imagine the number will drop substantially after.
LastPass on Windows doesn't stand out as being as shockingly ugly or ill-conceived as it does on macOS or iOS. It just sort of blends in with a lot of the undesigned applications that make up the Windows ecosystem.

That doesn't mean it isn't ugly. People deserve better.
Can you use Apple Music for free like you can do with Spotify?

The layoffs are almost all lead by the retail sector, which is undergoing a shift due to digital disruption from the likes of Amazon.

There is no evidence the tax breaks have created (many) jobs...but there is even less evidence that it has "destroyed" jobs. If you can point me to a peer reviewed study that says that, and not a Vox article, I'll gladly read it. But I skim FRED sometimes and have never seen such claims from a legitimate economist.

In fact a lot of these jobs were reabsorbed elsewhere in other sectors, that's actually a sign of a fairly healthy economy. Which is actually pretty astonishing given the weakness in Asia at the moment; but as someone I've read (can't remember the author) pointed out the US has never imported a recession, even during the currency crisis of the early 90s and all the problems that Japan has had with growth since the early 90s.

"artificially" - is that a thing? Isn't it just "lowered"? What is artificial about it?
I remember using Apple Music on an android phone and windows pc when the service launched. As far as I know there are no official options for using Apple Music on linux.
I switched between Apple Music and Spotify. I transferred my playlists using SongShift. After some time, I personally enjoy Spotify more primarily due to social aspect + music discovery and ended up cancelling my Apple Music subscription after several months.
Taxes aren't just about consumption of government services. If you earn more, you've clearly benefited from living in that society more than someone who does not. Or, as an economist would put it, it's price discrimination - charging more to the customer who gets more value out of the product.
I switched from GPM when AM launched. GPM was fine, but like many things google it had little direction. Is it even going to stay around or will youtube music be the new thing? Dunno.

AM works fine and gives recommendations that I like. I also rarely run into music that's not on AM like I used to do on Spotify.

AM can also be purchased for the year for $99. Combine that with a $100 iTunes gift card that can often be found for $85 or even $80 (often around Christmas time), and unlimited music for the year becomes rather inexpensive.
> Despite the name, Skylines is really a traffic management game more than anything else

The developer, Colossal Order, is also responsible for "Cities In Motion" and "Cities in Motion 2", both of which task the player with improving public transit systems. I haven't played either of those, but having played Skylines, I can only assume that the developer's prior games heavily influenced the game mechanics of this one.

There's an insane amount of mods available for Skylines too, and the ones that expand the traffic management mechanics are very enjoyable.
The boot has been on the neck of the environment for decades and we are just now maybe starting to talk about limiting some of the worst damage (starting, its very depressing). I think anyone informed who denies reality of climate change has no place in public discourse.
I'm absolutely discounting your experience, mostly because you keep trying to make this about me personally, and not about the conversation we were having. It's a tactic I've only seen in people who aren't secure/sure of themselves from a technical standpoint.

I think you know you're wrong, and at this point are trying to save face, which is weird because no one here is judging you.
FYI, AWS Lambda can, and for many things, does run on edge locations (166 edge points). So your comparison is not very accurate. The right map to use on that comparison would be a CloudFront map.
I might buy an argument if full Apple Music were bundled into the purchase price of an iPhone or Apple blocked Spotify but that's not the case here. You still need to buy a subscription and downloading a Spotify app is just a few clicks away.
Im not sure how WebGL would impact syncing simulation state across clients

Or how opengl/vulkan/etc would be better (I also dont see why they’d impact client syncing)

Unless webgl does something more than rendering..?

The same data is (eventually) required for any rendering engine, regardless of how you sync the simulation
"Accept-Encoding" means only that the client also understands specific encoding (in this case compression) it is still up to the server to chose what to dot. There was a time when browsers didn't support any compression. This header was introduced to signal to server what is acceptable by the client, that's why the header allows specifying multiple compression algorithms.

Similar thing is with header that's quite useful, but for some reason very few sites honor it: "Accept-Language" browser can specify which languages are preferred, but it is up to server to honor it (for example given language version is not available).
The only thing I don't like about Apple Music is iTunes.

In some ways Canada is like the US (e.g. use of checks) but in others they are like Mexico / Europe (Interac, i.e. PIN-based payments, email money transfers).
Agreed, I expect to leave 1Password when/if they remove local storage or make it untenable.
Meanwhile, the laborforce participation of 63% remains lower than 2014. I remember a time, when there was a different president, that this number was constantly referenced as evidence of a poor recovery. If the labor market is so robust why aren't people joining the workforce?

It's not about creating the software, so much as supporting it.
A statement like that requires some explanation.
> The stock market finds the 'correct' price for stocks, by aggregating conflicting beliefs and predictions of traders.

10-20 years ago, maybe. It's now driven largely by semi-autonomous algorithms monitoring swings/trends. I'd argue that it finds a 'simulated' price rather than a 'correct' price. The stock market is much less susceptible to emotional speculation than it used to be, for better or for worse.

A quick google yields multiple articles claiming various percentages for algorithmic vs meatspace trading. Investopedia claims that as early as 2010, upwards of 60 percent of all trading was done by algorithm. That number has risen since as computation has become cheaper. Source: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/a/algorithmictrading.asp
Agreed on that too, by the way. Why should it be one or the other? All the wasted brains spent hiding rich people's money from paying their fair share, is equally sad.
It's interesting how there's so much "information" about how well the employment rate was over the last 10 years, but everyone knows people who became/are unemployed (or part time only employed). Somehow every just assumes it's a localized situation to them, despite the ubiquity across observers. Part of it is the misinformation, but is that the only factor in the strength in the mischaracterized narrative? This still puzzles me.
Headline:> The U.S. just had the most Q1 layoffs in a decade

Article:> The U.S. saw its highest level of layoffs in a first quarter since 2009

This seems like a reasonable headline for the article.
Interesting isnt it ?

The banks are secured by the govt which happens to be the biggest debtor to the banks.

Problem being the govt is really the people and when it comes down to it the people are on the hook for their own debts regardless of how it gets paid.

AND we bail out the corporations who spend too much.
Honestly, I can't wait for my friends' and relatives' kids to grow up.

Why? Because once the kids are old enough to have actual conversations with, I'm probably going to have more in common with them than with their parents. There's just something about having kids that strips people of their personalities and turns them into the most boring people ever.

I'm childfree, and in a lot of ways I'm still just a very big kid, and it's honestly pretty lonely now that so many people I used to hang out with when I was younger are parents now.

With a claim like that, you're going to have to provide some evidence, or at least a solid argument.
I mentioned Lambda@Edge, but I knew less about that; I'll add a note and see if I can find a CloudFront map, thank you!

Normalizing what? There are doctors involved. What do you think the recommended course of action is for someone with gender dysphoria or someone born intersex?
Having used both, cleaning the french press is not a lot more work than a pourover device. Swirl some water, throw out on a patch of grass or flower bed, rinse, done.

This looks awesome! My question, coming from a self-identified "C/C++ person" who works in realtime control systems and who's been feeling increasingly uncomfortable with C++'s inherent footguns, is how has your choice of language helped or hindered this project?
How are you going to get the youtubers in your system, and what happens if I like a video of a youtuber who isn't in your system? I doubt youtube is just going to give you the personal information of the channel creators so that you can forward them a check. Seems like the big issue would be getting youtube creators to adopt your product.
The choice to attack/blame 100% of the countries problems on 50% of the voting population doesn't feel justified.
> How do you actually find it in the world?

It works. It is a sufficiently good model for many domains, even though it obviously is "impure" by combining the domain model and generally a whole lot of implementation details nee requirements.

It clearly is an unreasonably effective strategy that has no solid theoretical footing, yet that does not prevent it from working in practice.
I don't accept people who advocate suppressing the rights of trans people as members of society. I'm fine if you judge me for that or think I'm moralizing, because I am. I can live with that.
They are trained and aware, but in high stress situations pilots sometimes forget things like that, which was significant in the air france crash. The pilot who had better control of the situation only momentarily pressed the button used to take full control, when you are supposed to hold it as long as you wish to keep control. I believe the "dual input" warning was also not aggressive enough at the time
"It's a sign of health," he says from the comfort of his yacht, taking a slow sip of champagne between big spoonfuls of Beluga caviar all while watching the city burn. "Just look at all those construction and health-care jobs being created."
You have to pay more for Spotify just so Apple can take their cut.

Have you tried 1Password lately? They used to be trash, but I use them on mac, windows and android and it is far superior to last pass in almost every regard now.
The actual reason is debt payments not being met due to erroneous growth assumptions, which then cascade down the system. There are always people calling a peak or bottom, but at the end of the day, if your revenue projections aren't met, then you're going to have to cut costs. Whenever there is money sloshing around looking for return, the bets get riskier and riskier (i.e. assumptions about revenues get fantastical), and at some point that's not going to reflect reality. Perhaps it's due to job losses due to automation, or a weather event, or a war, etc.
Their money. Their choice. I don't care as long as they aren't to annoying about it.

It's factored in when I accept my job.

I've worked for next to nothing to support causes I find worthy so I am allowed to hold opinions on this.

But with my money, I choose.
The private brand doesn't have a magical ability to appear in your shopping cart when you pull out it out of the coral, or better integrate itself with the shelves in your home because the retailer also built that house.
Sure, and if I had secured a high income or had established wealth, such a topic might be worth my time.

As an individual, actually saving that money or driving a higher income for myself is a far more effective use of time.

It also has the side-effect of increasing the median wage, because my negotiation provides upward pressure.
I think the only thing you wrote here I would point out is that you seem to vastly underestimate the operational cost of running your own in-house infrastructure. You're comparing AWS costs to hardware costs, but that's not what AWS gives you, it lets you restructure how you task your entire SA team. You still need them, but they can now work on very different issues, and you don't need to hire new people to work on the things they are now freed up to work on.

And again, I cannot over emphasize how much more control over your own time AWS gives you. It's night/day, and discounting that is a mistake.
I also like how well it integrates with Homepod. Homepod hasn't been well received but I personally love it. It can hear me from 30 feet away and it sounds incredible!

A reverse corporation of sorts, but with only a single source of revenue. A corporation is a collective that works together to produce something. A union, on the other hand, seeks to extract as much value as is possible/reasonable from the host organization, but not so much that they destroy it.

Smokey Yunick was a race mechanic famous for skirting the rules. My favorite was, gas tank sizes were fixed but he noticed that there was no rule specifying the parameters for a fuel line. So,

Instead of a half-inch fuel line, Yunick created a two-inch fuel line that was 11 feet long, and held five gallons of gas.

(A car with more gas has to stop less often)

You could say he took a loophole. You could try, I'm sure, to argue "how could he have known he wasn't supposed to make a fuel line that way? What was the correct ethical size of a fuel line?". But it's pretty obvious to most people that took it too far, and specifications for fuel lines were created immediately after the gambit was discovered.
Densely populated cities filled with mostly educated people are perfectly capable of riots driven by ethnic tensions and dubious claims, but Singapore's last race riot was in 1969[1]. Singapore had legitimate concerns about racial tensions in the 1970s and some of its more illiberal policies were arguably practical responses to those situations, but that was a long time ago when Singaporean society was very different, and this draft policy's clauses about making it illegal to publish material that "might diminish public confidence in a state body" seems to have other priorities.

[1]There was another riot involving Indian construction workers in 2013, but that was a spontaneous [massive over]reaction to a bus driver running someone over, not something planned or stirred up beforehand. And that's every riot in Singapore since 1969...
