I agree with you. Google isn't a shining knight of consumer rights and privacy but I don't think they are as bad as every thinks.

They offer a lot of customization for tracking and the ability to turn it off. They don't do anything hyper anti-consumer(IMO) and provide me very good products at either a low price or at the cost of my data(which I'm willing to pay with).

Decriminalisation != legalisation

IANAL but my understanding is that there are different types of "offences", some of them are "criminal offences" (e.g. theft, assault), others are just "offences" (e.g. speeding). Conviction of the latter do not result in a criminal record, and usually attract lower pernalties.

> our understanding of the commerce clause had changed. Today we would say that everything is interstate commerce

...

> (To be clear, I disagree strongly with the decision, which I think was deeply misguided.)

A worthwhile step on the path of disagreement is to separate your perspective from the Supreme Court's. "Our understanding" has not changed - the Supreme Court has merely crafted a tenuous justification for more government power. Which is not surprising given that the Supreme Court is part of the government, thus directly benefiting from increasing that power.
> The word "Nazi" itself contains a provocative charge

I find this a bit confusing. Provocative to whom? There are 1) people calling other people Nazis and there are 2) people being called Nazis.

1) Can't claim they're being provoked because they're the ones using the word in the first place. I don't think 2) would be offended by the word itself. They don't like being called Nazis, which is different.

When someone says "Nazi" I'm thinking "The Final Solution to the Jewish Question" and the "superiority of the Aryan master race". These are very bad things and practically everyone agrees!

Side note: perhaps when people say Nazis they mean ethno-nationalists?

Nazis killed millions of people in Europe and took my country apart. What was left behind is a deeply damaged society. I don't know how many generations it will take to fix it. So it annoys me when the word is thrown so casually at any random person on the internet. A dude going to a Mall with a swastika flag is probably just an ass that wants to "trigger lefties". And they take the bait. And media takes the bait too.
Very agreed with all this. I've been learning the same lessons working on more robust computer vision for biomedical imaging. I bet unsupervised predictive pretraining could be adapted to (static) 3d image volumes. The z axis replaces the t axis, and you predict the next 2d slice from previous ones. Hmm...

> Totalitarianism is a scorpion that cannot but sting.

I'm 100% onboard with this notion.

Our opinions differ only with respect to where we think China is headed, which was the premise of my original comment. Yours is the pessimistic view, mine is the optimistic one.

I happen to believe that as China continues to modernize, it will reach a point where its government will no longer feel the need to resort to totalitarian policies to ensure the stability and prosperity of its society. You and many others will disagree.

The point is, we won't know until we're actually there.

And if it's already a tiny shack in bum fuck nowhere where property doesn't sell for years, yet government still value it higher for technical reasons? I bet you'd have a short deadline on this tax too, so he'll have to sell the property for stupidly low price.

Or would government buy out his house, ending up with shit ton of undesirable property in the long run?

Congratulations, now your parents are dead and you have debt on your hands with major headache.

.. unless they just gifted the house to their kid once they reached old age. Then your law is meaningless. Unless you want to tax any gift in the family through the nose?

While rich people you were going after solved the issue with all sorts of trust funds, gifting and clever employment schemes.

So you gain nothing and people who were already disadvantaged loose. Yay.

> I'd love to see someone build or modernize a news outlet that isn't driven by attention or clicks as a currency.

There are two motivations for running a news outlet, both with extensive historical precedent:

- You want money.

- You want to spread your view of the world, inflicting your culture on other people.

There isn't a lot of immediate financial gain associated with the second approach, but the gains are real enough, long-term, that there tend to be plenty of such outlets receiving subsidies from people who believe in the message.

But in the modern US, while we still have outlets of that type, there is a very strong belief that they shouldn't count as "news", and that they are less legitimate than "neutral" journalism. That reserves moral legitimacy to the money-oriented approach, and that approach is necessarily driven by attention. News that nobody reads can't sell.
Memes have been a core part of political strategy for decades. Human beings have never thought fundamentally based on facts, and they likely never will. All parties do it to varying degrees, but it's very difficult to see it when it lines up with your personal ideology.

It's the nature of censorship that people want to censor what other people see, not what they see themselves. We believe we're able to make our own decisions and we're in control of our minds, but those other people who aren't us might not be and are in danger of bad influences.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted so much. People should be more concerned of sensationalism than VOCs for now. Stress kills far more people than this potentially broad category of compounds which could include harmless and vital smells. Is the media now going to try to sterilize our sense of smell as well as our sense of taste.

Ban salt, fat, (but not sugar, just tax it even more), flavour and smells! The hysteria over how to eat and what to eat has killed potentially hundreds of millions of people at this point. Sensationalism motivates culture and is absolutely to be feared.

Of course we shouldn't live in sealed up caves with no vents. We shouldn't live in moldy apartments either. Tell us something we don't know.

Have you thought about porting to GLES (shouldn't be that hard if you already have GL shaders), and using MoltenGL (apple) and ANGLE (windows)? AFAIK they both work reasonably well in practice.

> I guess targeting Vulkan is better

Vulkan support is improving but I’m not sure it’s ready yet. For Intel GPUs, only supported on Windows starting from Skylake (2015).

> the question is how much portability is important factor vs optimal performance

I think portable and fast cross-platform GUI is possible, just expensive to implement and especially support.

Commercial game engines like Unity or Unreal optimize both at the same time, and they support low-spec platforms like mobile phones.

When Microsoft wanted fast rich GUI portable across their platforms, they’ve built XAML.

When Google wanted the same, they acquired Skia and built Chromium and now Flutter on top.

Thanks for posting this. Around 2 months back I was trying my hands on something alike - I think this one will help me take some steps further on it.

I was working on an ad-blocker for live TV, specially news channels. Annoyed by the amount of ad sequences they have on news channels, I wanted to build a dashboard that would show me color coded state of news channels, {green -> news content | red -> ads | yellow -> not sure}. So that I instantly know which channel to switch to.

I used pose detection as one of the heuristic to figure out if there is an anchor on the screen.
Used openpose with golang, worked pretty well to start with but later felt it was bit limited.

It's clear cut breaking backwards compat for no reason at all.

I don't even know why they aren't supporting both API versions indefinitely it doesn't really make any sense it's literally a url rewrite/301 for anything hitting the old domain. Want to avoid our bottleknecked legacy LBs for better performance? Hit the new LBs. Hell even the sdk doing this upfront will alleviate a crap tonne of legacy requests.

People need to stop allowing corps making breaking backwards compat so nonchalantly it's unprofessional. And on top of that, AWS has a really good track record of maintaining backwards compat, allowing them to get away with this is just asking for more down the line.
Using URLs you don't control in a book is just a bad idea all around. If you're reading a book some years after its publication, a URL that still does work will be the exception.

> There's a lotta young male angst out there

See this is exactly the problem the article talks about. A young man got so heavily invested in a community because they weren't dismissive of him. Maybe a lot of young men feel people are treating them dismissively and that a lot narratives other people espouse don't resonate with their personal experience.

Maybe we should consider why this anger is so much more common in young men. The narrative of "equality looks like aggression when you've always been the one on top" doesn't really apply to kids who are only 13, because no matter who was on top it wasn't kids.

It's an incredibly shitty thing to malign someone when they have no opportunity to respond. You only bring up issues a small number of decisions which do not make or break a company, which leads me to wonder maybe if your animus was personal.

Do you have absolutely any data about the number of MS shops using docker? Microsoft is actually pushing docker in windows big time, and they won't spend so much effort if it weren't asked by their clients. Did you ever ask Steve what his reasoning was behind the push? Or you just didn't like Microsoft so figured it was a bad decision by itself?

Shame on you in any case for badmouthing him
How would you know whether the agent is being used by a legitimate app or a malicious app racing with a legitimate app to steal access?

At least you only would leak a single access, and you would have a higher chance of noticing, but I can also see that if the hijack was done intermittently you might write it off as a glitch...
Python is build entirely around the idea that encapsulation is mostly useless. "We're all consenting adults" is the general philosophy. As long as there's a convention as to what properties are "public" and which are not, a motivated user of a class should be able to do what they want with it.

There's no point in putting a "private/public/protected" security model in a programming language. It isn't a security boundary.

This vastly simplified the design of OO in Python, and it makes testing far far easier. There's no need to go through the dependency injection acrobatics in order to change one method for testing or proxying.

(There technically is a way to munge a property name in Python but its use is discouraged).
I'm pretty sure Perl's Native OO has no encapsulation, at least without custom modules or weird wranglings like inside-out objects. It doesn't mean we must peek inside, but the option is there. It is completely functional, but as prone to misuse as the rest of Perl.
So two competing priorities in a) giving users all the control/configurability they want and b) per OWASP and most SQL security standards “never trust user input”

Explain straddling that line ... oh and the third axis is cost.

Rupert Murdoch is somewhat a foreigner to you, having gained US citizenship in 1985, but he comes from Australia. He was born there. I don't know if you recognize dual citizenship, but if you do then it seems he is still Australian. His son James Murdoch is eligible to have Australian citizenship.

Their press may be a "far right press" by Australian standards, but over here they make donations to our more-left party. James Murdoch gave the legal maximum amount to Pete Buttigieg, who is hardly far right by American standards.

> To me this is the most important part. I like to have private or public, protected is not needed.

OO's encapsulation is about bundling data and operation, not about information hiding, and as kazinator noted generic functions (as in CLOS) prove you can have OO just fine without.

As to information hiding, there are many fine OO languages which don't have it either (Python probably being the prime example there, but I'd say it also applies to languages like Ruby where you can trivially override existing ACL) so it's clearly not necessary either, let alone "the most important part". Especially as conversely many non-OO languages do have access control, hinting that the two are quite likely orthogonal.

Information hiding is useful for engineering and resilience, not for object orientation.

As to private / protected / public, I'd argue it's private which is the least useful (since we've already ascertained none is actually needed): it's literally just hiding stuff from yourself. I think removing that level of ACLs is one of the few good idea Go had.
The "alt-right" is the natural reaction to the bombardment of progressive leftism (for lack of a better concept) perpetrated initially by the media and now by mainstream society in general, including silicon valley.

Most of these alt-righters aren't educated enough to articulate a good ideological response to this bombardment, but they know that people are being manipulated, and the best thing they can do is state the complete opposite (or what they see as the complete opposite) to what progressive media says, which makes them be this way.

Another thing to consider is the hypocrisy with which most people criticize the "alt-right", but don't even bat an eye when the 'progressives' act the same way.

When mainstream society becomes reasonable again, alt-righters and similar movements will disappear.

Back in the 90s, I recall much talk about "citizen-based news". But the reality is far more complicated. I could build a Tor onion site with throwaway clearnet proxies. But how would anyone know that it existed? And even if they did, how would they use it from phones? You'd need apps for that, and so that requires approval from Google and/or Apple.

The article centers around activity in Syria, but the problem is much more endemic. In the United States, Apple has consistently taken down apps providing information about US government airstrikes - including those that strike wedding processions, children, bystanders, etc. Recent efforts to identify and scrub foreign propagandists in the United States have silenced legitimate voices of domestic dissent, as foreign influence campaigns typically attempt to magnify grassroots dissenting opinions (this is true also of US foreign intelligence efforts). There's many reasons why these kinds of apps, comments, and conversations are taken down due to their content.

Fundamentally, being a gateway to information in a legal environment where the hosting the content as a curator puts you under risk creates deep incentives to whitewash content. Those forces are already present for companies which might accidentally sustain 9gag/4chan type cultures/commentary which contradicts however its productizing its platform.

Reddit is another example a company that has recently scrubbed itself of most controversial content, including content critical of or dangerous to its host's countries political and national security naratives. Twitter has started down that journey as well.

It feels like we're experiencing the growing pains of social network and hosted content boom reinvented on web technology over the past couple decades.

It's kind of amazing in retrospect how controversial some of the "mundane" applications of technology to society have been, whereas a couple decades ago most of the moral panic centered around concepts like "online dating", which to date have actually been relatively controversy scarce.
