I think this piece is excellent, but it does seem somewhat confused one one thing. There are utilitarians and hedonists who believe in virtue, personal growth, and self-sacrifice. Hedonism says "happiness is good." It does not say that my happiness is more important than yours, let alone that your happiness doesn't matter. That would be egoism.

While travelling does show me stuff I haven't seen, that doesn't mean it significantly alters what I thought about the place I'm visiting. Or the world in the larger sense.

There are cases where it’s hard to tell if someone is truly paying what they can, but there are also cases where it’s easy: when it costs more than they can pay. Health insurance trivially fails the “paying what you can” criterion for sufficiently poor people.

Or. Outlining the affect of the unwillingness of some employers to give far wages to existing employees when they bring in new employees at higher rates than existing employees.

As well as, reasons why people leave jobs for better pay and career growth.

If you hire new talent and compensate them better and don’t also raise compensation and or responsibilities for other existing employees your going to create feelings that lead to disengagement. Which gets us to people writing articles about how it’s better to grow employees vs, bringing in outside talent to the existing team.

If you have good culture, fair compensation and clear paths to career growth, then yes I agree growing in house skills will be better, with starting new employees at the bottom to not offend existing people you have invested in their career growth.

It sounds to me that the author has some experience with bad culture and was slighter by some new employees who may have gotten promoted or flat out hired above them without having more skills than they possess essentially killing their ability to move to higher rungs inside the organization.

Nit: "Web" and "Net", or more specifcally, "Internet", are problematic terms. They're used poorly in TFA's title.

The Web -- WWW -- invented by TBL at Cern, is a set of data representation and request protocols, but doesn't address underlying royting and peering, the domain of the Internet itself, and BGP specifically. The WWW could splinter, but it would do (and may be doing) so along protocol lines, not underlying connection levels.

App-level proxies and DNS further complicate the discussion, an legal and regulatory matters operate at yet another level. Largely these too were not invented in the EU.

The Bloomberg article is clearly referencing the Internet as a whole, title ambiguity notwithstanding, and that was created in the United States, not the EU. As AnonymousPlanet notes, CH is not an EU member state.

I'm looking for this too. Advice welcome. AWS managed time series is not a thing.

Timestream has been in preview for too long. Does that mean they're having trouble with productizing it?

You can host anything in OP article in EC2 but you don't get the managed features. PLUS most of those (eg timescale and influxdb) are seriously priced for serious features like clustering/scaling/HA.

At $work, we're considering Plain Old Elastic, which is a managed service. It scales well and if you don't have mountains of data, there shouldn't be surprises. If you do have mountains of data, and you can tolerate older stuff being slower in archive, you can throw it in S3 and query it with Athena, while keeping the faster stuff in ES or Dynamo.

A key concept here is identifying with a desire.

You have some desires you don't identify with: you would be glad for them to be taken from you (eg. smoking).

You have other desires you identify with: you would not want them to be taken from you. For example, you not only want your children to be healthy, you would be horrified at the notion of losing that concern. It is part of your identity, and losing it is like a part of you dieing.

Hence the Budda teaches to see everything as anatta or "not self": nothing is worth forming an identity around.

The distinction is between auto-update and user-chosen update. Some users strongly prefer all software running on their owned hardware is incapable of auto-updating in a way that bypasses explicitly requiring the user to choose to update each time.

It may come across as a nasty dark pattern if a user must opt out of auto-updates (which is loosely what Normandy is, if you extend “auto-update” to also mean tacit enrollment in an experiment).

Instead it should be off by default, with a clear and unambiguous description of the functionality on a menu page if a user wants to opt in.

For example, I am a very privacy-focused browser user, relying on many special settings & extensions. Despite frequently reading about browser updates, I had no idea Normandy functioned like this, nor that it was enabled by default, until reading into this current Firefox certificate bug.

Upon learning what Normandy is and that it is opt-out by default with unclear connections to the traditional privacy dropdown menus to disable experiments or usage stat sharing, I feel that Mozilla violated my trust in a profound and deeply upsetting way.

I'm not really sure what you could gain from that. Language is not the stuffy study of hard and fast rules, but a constant negotiation between what the listener is capable of understanding, and what the speaker will compose.

In the same way that unexamined Ebonics is not just crappy English, unexamined Standard American English is not just crappy English.

I'm going through Duolingo to actually learn Spanish for the first time, and I definitely agree that the direct approach for leveling up a lesson to level 5 is... tedious at best.

Instead I'm taking a different approach. I'm getting each skill to level 2, which is the point right before lessons start asking you to type answers and take away the word bubbles. That gets me basic familiarity, and I move through the coursework fairly quickly. Then once I'm past a checkpoint, as I have extra time, I slowly level up the stuff I've already completed. Right now most of my coursework is level 2, and the top like 1/5 of it is level 3. So far, this seems to work surprisingly well; it's kindof a crude, guided spaced repetition. The practice feature does actual spaced repetition I think, but I like this guided approach more.

The other key takeaway of course is that the "subject" of a given lesson is a head fake. The vocabulary matches that lesson, but the app is also careful to sneakily introduce grammatical constructs over time as well, and if you don't read the tips (I don't if I can help it), then you end up picking up a lot of those rules organically. For example, "a la" (roughly "to the") condenses to "al" in Spanish, and that was never explicitly taught in a lesson, it was just introduced in a sentence one day. It was confusing... and then it "clicked" and I got a feel for it. That part is very neat.

Anyway, the app certainly isn't for everyone, but as a total beginner who's tried other language learning approaches, mixing Duolingo (for consistent vocabulary acquisition) with organic language sources (in my case: games and TV in Spanish) seems to be really effective. The app may feel easy, but it's working and I can feel my understanding in the organic sources expanding as I go. If nothing else, it also gives me a baseline; I can knock out my 50xp in 20 minutes or so, and I do that every day. I think eventually I'll be able to read at a basic level and then I'll leave Duolingo in the dust, but until then, as a total novice, it's been a good starting point, and that seems to be what it's trying to be.
>webassembly are eating JVM's cake

Nobody seriously uses webassembly outside of the web broswer.

So much for hyperbole.
I don’t think restricting the changes to default settings is enough, you can still do quite a lot of malicious or just plain annoying things with that—for example, I didn’t change the default browser theme, but that doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t be pissed if it changed to an advertisement of any sort.

It gives the developers a great power—they can change applications behaviour outside typical venues for this. Most users expect an update to change things, but if my browser would start to behave erratically and I knew I haven’t updated it for a while, it would have send me on a wild goose chase for other things that I might have done that make my Firefox crash or whatever. It wouldn’t have occurred to me that some change to my settings was pushed without my knowledge.

We can only hope FF devs will use that power responsibly. It can be a nice feature or a complete nightmare. And I for one would very much welcome some kind of pushed notification about that (‘hey, there was a problem with this and that, so we changed that and this; here’s how you can revert the change if needed’).

Looks like they changed the title. But I would have to say that the ability to delete a full repo with the credentials is a bit of a vulnerability.

I believe he is saying that eBPF will disallow certain code to run if it doesn’t meet the standards listed by the parent comment. The article also mentions that eBPF will check whether code is “worthy” or running or rearrange it so that it is worthy.

As far as taking an in-person class, if you tend to be the type to research things and think about them rather than doing them, then a class is an amazing resource:

- other students to practice with (new friends who share an interest!)

- a teacher you can ask questions and build a relationship with (if they're a native speaker, this can be motivating)

- you're forced to listen, speak, read, and write, often before you feel ready

I started with language courses, and lucked out with a great teacher and fun students. I spent lots of time with the language and advanced really quickly, and my classes were perfect places to try out my new knowledge. I still remember one day we were having some natives over to interview, and I racked my brain to come up with interesting questions; one of them was 'What's in your fridge at home?'. My point is that my class was a great place to try out what I was learning at home on my own time. Also lots of fun memories.

I'd agree on asking questions about grammar; it's possible to study the language instead of learning it. What I mean is that studying and having the skills - speaking, writing, etc - are two very different things.

As far as learning grammar, this cycle proved extremely effective for me:

- Learn about grammar in class

- Learn about grammar on my own (e.g. compare English and Russian grammar [1])

- notice new grammar in whatever I was listening or reading

Jim Scrivener (an English teacher and teacher trainer) writes this about grammar in 'Learning Teaching' (p. 253):

"It seems likely that learners have to do a number of things to be able to start making any new grammar item part of their own personal stock of language.

They probably need to have _exposure_ to the language; they need to _notice_ and _understand_ itms being used; they need to _try using_ language themselves in 'safe' practice ways and in more demainding contexts; they need to _remember_ the things they have learnt." [2]

So it follows from this that learning needs to be a very rich process - bursting at the seams with context and emotions and lots of words; where Duolingo and the others are more similar to a Greek salad: not bad, but you're not getting everything you need.

So use language learning apps, but make sure your language learning diet is giving you everything: lots of exposure, time to notice and understand, opportunities to practice - from easy to demanding, and plenty of review.
If you have a healthy diet - lots of exposure to the language - then you'll review grammar structures and words as a natural part of your listening/reading.

I feel we are only a couple years away from a Google AI blog announcement of a AI language teacher prototype.
I have thought about this; it would be good to have a common "protocol" established for searching, requesting, and (eventually) retrieving documents over sneakernet. Perhaps some sort of updateable index passed along with the documents, and an anonymous register of what files are being requested. I envision sort of a physical version of Tor, where nobody knows who has what files or who is requesting what files; the only thing you know is who you just exchanged info with, but you don't know if the new requests/files came from them or from the next hop on the network. This could serve as a backup if the network becomes unavalable in the long term (due to a war, for instance) or if severe repression is put in place, restricting access to information.
