No love (or hate) for China or the US; but from a European perspective it does shock me how much we rely on the USA.

As a bit of a tangent, we recently learned that we couldn't provide service to people living in Crimea, because google cloud block them, because google cloud is beholden to US regulators.

Now, the EU doesn't have any sanctions on Crimea itself (because that would legitimise the annexation), but they have sanctions against Russia instead.

So, we're defacto instituting the will of the US by choosing a US operator- and I think this is true of basically everything we use today. I can't think of a single tech company outside of Spotify that is not owned by the US which is popular in Europe.

Not only do we not "own our data" our digital economy is entirely dependent on the US not being malicious.

So you are saying that insurance company should just have to accept higher loss from you?
> Yeah, like that's not a good thing

You think it's a good thing. The parent doesn't. So isn't it better that both Go and Java exist, rather than Go be Java-ised, so you both get what you want?

> Strawman fallacy.

It's only a straw man to those who like the tradeoff. Tradeoffs are always a matter of judgement. The parent (and many others) make a different judgement to you. So isn't it better that both the Java and Go approaches exist, to satisfy different tastes?
That's why you never sign a non-compete.

https://penguindreams.org/blog/why-i-dont-sign-non-competes/

I had a non-compete in a startup contract and I outright refused to sign it. I'm glad I did. They wanted complete control of all the software I wrote too (which up until that point had been GPLv3; all volunteer work). After the startup failed, my efforts in that contract negotiation paid off as I made sure I was allowed to re-release the software as GPLv3. It's currently used by students at the University of Dayton:

Norway recently dropped the jury system.

Norway has always had a combination of juries and panels of judges that are made up of a mix of legally trained professional judges and 'lay judges'.

Now it is that system only. The lay judges are people who are appointed the same way as jurors used to be, but the difference is that deliberations happens with professional judges present.

The lay judges have a majority, but the professional judges can under certain circumstances overrule if they find the lay judges are ignoring the instructions or otherwise rendering a sentence clearly not supported by the law.

On one side it means jury nullification is generally out, but on the other hand we regularly both see cases where the professional judges call out clearly faulty logic, as well as cases where the lay judges overrule the professional judges and the judgement stands (meaning the professional judges disagreed but accepts that the decision followed the legal requirements).

To me, seeing the decisions of the professional judges when they override makes jury trials terrifying. And this is with professional judges present in the room and participating in the deliberations. Even that is insufficient to deter flawed decisions.
Well, it's called FedEx, of course it expropriates your packages to the feds,
I'll tell you one thing not to do. Don't require that they share their passwords with you.

Everyone I know whose parents had their passwords had a second set of secret accounts, and felt like they had to hide things from their parents.

Case in point: I rented a room to a girl once (she was 19) whose mom came along with her to every meeting, and bragged about how her and her daughter shared an email address.

When I was at the house once after she moved in and her mom was gone, without even bringing it up, she was very proud of the fact that she had a secret email address, a secret boyfriend that her mom didn't know about, and a secret stash of "sexy clothes" that her mom didn't know about.

That right there made me realize the futility of trying to spy on your kids. Kids are smart and they see each other every day. They will figure out how to get around your technology and share that info with others.

As others have said, honest conversation seems to be the best answer. Just like before the internet existed.
Is there a name for this "orange and blue" style that I see pretty often? Is it replicating a type of film or just a style that's in vogue?
I operate on the idea that everyone has been back dooring and breaking into everyone else's stuff forever.

I remember a picture I can't remember the details now but think the East Germans discovered a tunnel from West Berlin into a phone vault in East Berlin with a bunch of taps installed. That was in the 1960's. The Soviets were planting microwave recording devices on the east coast in the 1970's. The US has been tapping under sea cables since the 1970's. Maybe earlier.

Everyone's been trying to spy on everyone else. Commercial companies are either willing partners cough facebook cough or haplessly in the middle. Notable they threw Joseph Nacchio in prison for not playing along.

If you are never going to sell your ETF/stocks then yeah it doesn't matter. I read online once that a mutual fund tried to see which of there customers made the most money.
The customers that made the most were the ones who had forgotten they made that investment and the others who were dead.
"HFTs don't normally move the market"

HFTs make their money on the difference between the bid and ask prices.

They can only exist because you're willing to sell at 10c, and I'm willing to buy at 11c. Hypothetically we could have traded directly lets say at 10.5c. So the HFTer has literally moved the market.

Buying at a higher price would tend to a higher price anchor. If I paid 11c, I wouldn't want to sell at a loss, so your 10.9c offer would be rejected, where it might have been accepted if I'd paid 10.5c.

But then ultra rational me would never buy above 12c and ultra rational you would never sell below 9c, based on current info, so irrespective of middlemen, the price would be bounded by those 2 figures.

And there isn't net buying or selling pressure so you could treat the spread as a fee in return for providing liquidity.

But yeah in practice, I think you're basically correct.
It saddens me to death to hear words like: "To not stick to a schedule/routine once I am solo" from hyper-motivated people. It makes me hopeful to see that you're self-aware enough to mention other people's optinion as a fear factor.

This kind of social conditioning from the school system / society combined with never letting people do what they really want because they have "responsibilities" from the age of 5 is what keeps everyone in check... Go to uni ( no you can't take a year off ), go to work ( why take a year off? You are a slacker... ) etc. ( not to mention that you have no other option than to endure school until you're 18 with no saying what you want to do, and making it almost impossible to do shortcuts in that, even if you're capable ).

My opinion: people are usually want to do things. The school system makes you believe that the only reason people work on things is because they are forced to do is pure bull. People who still have these creative feelings at 29, after going trough all of these things are hyper self-motivated individuals, who don't need any external force to do things ( usually, of course there might be exceptions ).

Yes, after you quit your job you might slack off for a while, and you won't be productive. That might be because your mind needs it, or you might have thoughts in your mind ( because of the fears you've listed ), that block your creative process.

I had similar issues, but I've told myself that I'm not going to do anything but play video games for two weeks. After day 3 I didn't do any playing, and went trough 3 weeks of robotics lessons in two days without forcing myself.

The question of routine: I know this is not a popular opinion, but I think you don't necessarily need a routine, you will just do it, because you want it. Believe in yourself, what I mean is believe what you think of yourself, and try not to let these pressures in, which makes you believe that the slacker is in you. It is not in you.

You have 5 years of savings. Try it for a year! I mean, maybe you become homeless when you're 60 because of this decision ( worst case ). What do you want to be, a 60 year old homeless who made a gut decision, and it didn't work out, or a 60 year old man who never followed his heart?

I _really_ wish you the best!
Now you described only sending one patch.

How do you deal with continuous integrations and making sure things like CLAs are signed? How does issue tracking integrate there? Answer: it doesn't, it's all a major PITA to arrange.

> For Github I (1) have to create a fork (2) set it as a remote in my local copy, or if I forgot how to do it, (2.1) pull another one and copy my changes to it, (3) push my changes to my fork, (4) open a pull request in Github, which takes 3 context switches.

You mean you don't create a fork by cloning the repository onto your PC when using e-mail? Or that somehow `git send-email` is harder than `git push`? I disagree having done both. I'd gladly remove `send-email` from git for it's negative effects on FOSS, it's clearly making people think it's somehow nice to use or start using.

> there is git-bug or plethora of different bugtracking software for you.

All of them are absolutely terrible to use. The sooner all FOSS migrates to Gitlab the better - we're stifling FOSS' progress by using tools majorly out-of-date.

ETFs were an outstanding idea but never meant to be used on such an excessive scale. If once stock falls and many of the ETFs have to re-balance their index to reflect this, this creates a feed back effect. And if Index ETFs and HFT are the last ones trading this stock, good luck with this.

Everything works until it doesn't.
Potential reason - they do not have a system that can split public/secret stops. They need tracking to be available for internal purposes (actual delivery) but never built the filtering features. (Or there is, but needs boxes to be checked explicitly and the box wasn't checked. Is there anyone from FedEx to throwaway comment? :-) )

A little more than a month ago I left my job to pursue my side hustle full time. Very similar mentality to yours about the job; I had done the same analysis on my day, squeezing every drop of extra time I could into building the life I wanted. Same conculsion -- The job was draining my day, my career, and my mental health to a place I didn't need those going.

The best advice I received was to have evidence that you're not languishing after leaving the job. I am accomplishing this with https://www.100daysofcode.com/ . The work I'm doing is related to my side hustle, and it's keeping me focused on producing progress every day.

Oh, coming from a recently single, kid-less, 29 year old with 18 months of runway, leave the terrible job. The mental health benefits are so difficult to describe without experiencing them. Probably the best one is you'll shed the bad work habits and mentalities you may have had seeping into your life. It's tough to notice these without the time apart from the job. I was bringing my C-game the last six months of my old job; Pursuing your side hustle will force you to being your A-game. You'll have to be a better worker, which then makes you more employable if you get back into the job market.

Idk how the job market is for your region in your line of work. I know I can go back into the job market and compete for jobs that would be a 20-40k raise on my last job, so it's a soft cushion for me to land on if my side hustle goes poorly. I hope you are as fortunate. Best of luck!

As art and photography I find this series of images weak and without direction. Lost me completely when the photographer or his friends (?) started showing up in the pictures ( https://main-designyoutrust.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/upload... ). Typical Instagram buildering [1] shots.

That's not what critical theorists think; for them, often the process of describing a phenomenon involves looking at how "it" behaves. The idea that everything must be defined analytically before it is used or analyzed shuts one off from a lot of possible insight. For example, the debate as to whether porn is art continues to this day, but we have analyzed both porn, art and porn as art before we were ever clear on the matter rigourously speaking. Furthermore, to impose a definition is to trap a concept (usually a historically contingent one) in a moment, which isn't always useful. There are some works on the matter of definitionalism that make this point better but I can't find them right now. I'm short, critical theory and philosophy are different sciences (another thorny word to define, but we use it regardless of the intellectual poverty of some of its widely accepted definitions) to mathematics.
I know microsoft paint is bloat but I wouldn't go so far as to call it 'malware'. It's more like adware.

Also running any script in your browser is downloading, and running anonymous code giving it a playground to do whatever it wants. I'd trust the guys maintaining imagemagick or ffmpeg in my little corner of the web over the security team for firefox. Smaller attack surface y'know?
Sounds like you took the enlightened centrist "all sides" path and completely missed the point.
It comes from cinema where they use complementary color grading, but really it's just people discovering the split toning tool in Lightroom.
You may have explored this already, but just in case you haven't: get checked for chronic/lifestyle diseases (diabetes, fibromyalgia, IBD/Crohn's, etc). Many of these sap out your energy chronically, making you feel gloomy/depressed/irritated in otherwise "normal" life-situations. Even if you can't cure these, being aware of them lets you set realistic expectations about your body's limits (like, for example, you might NEED 10 hours of sleep at all costs, limiting the time available for other activities).

Also don't forget that physical and mental health are closely interlinked such that if you aren't doing well physically, then your mental health will suffer and vice-versa.
> Imo the problem with the article, and perhaps if it is a faithful representation of the original idea of orientalism, is that it is incoherent.

It’s been at least 15 years since I read Orientalism, but I recall that being exactly my impression of the book.

I came away thinking that it was an interesting collection of perspectives on historical Oriental relations with the West, but that its thesis was simply “You don’t understand us”. I didn’t feel I learned anything to counteract this apparent misconception that we Westerners all hold.
The Huawei 'war' is between the 5 Eyes Alliance countries and China, not just the US. If you live in Canada, Australia etc, you have persistent propaganda being released in the media warning of the evils of Huawei 5G hardware.

My cynical view is Huawei has some sort of edge on competitors to quickly deploy 5G around the world (state subsidies possibly), and the 5 Eyes Alliance will lose their 'information dominance' as once expressed by Gen Alexander, so the option was to start flexing against Huawei with 1980s cold war style aggression to slow them down.
Except that companies like Facebook have an employee at the exit of every shop/cafe/bar/cinema/park you visit. This employee notes the time, place, and your name in a little notebook. Every night the notebooks are shipped to HQ and the data is combined into a profile about you. Somehow this is not creepy.
“Huawei is regularly one of the biggest contributors to the Linux kernel each cycle.”

I find that alarming.

Thanks for the heads-up - I totally missed this "detail" when I skimmed through the article & specs table earlier today.

And just in case that somebody missed it, here is again the link to the PDF "What Every Programmer Should Know About Memory" by Ulrich Drepper...

https://people.freebsd.org/~lstewart/articles/cpumemory.pdf

...which was posted here sometimes earlier this year and which talks about every detail of RAM and L1/2/3 cache access times and architectures etc... . Very heavy for me (read so far 25%) but as well very interesting.
How is that a good long term play for the money manager? He loses everyone but his buddies money and that means people are going to go to him?
If you have 5 years savings, and a passion for something else, and you think (hope) you're talented enough to pull off running your own business, then go for it.

You'll always regret not doing it when you think/hope you are capable of doing it. Even if you fail, you'll "graduate" with a ton of learning plus you won't face that regret.

I wouldn't recommend you burn all 5 years worth of savings though. Set a year aside, and set some benchmark that you must reach by the end of the year. If you don't reach that benchmark/goal, go find another job that will be more tolerable for you.
Jeff Bezos frames this concept fairly well too:

The idea that investment bankers are the ones that make equity worth something, and not the founders and employees, is so wrong as to be a joke.
>Reuters could not verify the authenticity of the records. Shown the images of the tracking records, FedEx declined to make any comment, saying company policy prevented it from disclosing customer information. //

So they're confirming that the images are customer data, which makes them authentic. If they weren't authentic then they wouldn't be customer information, no?

>FedEx spokeswoman Maury Donahue told Reuters the packages were “misrouted in error” and that FedEx was not requested to divert them by any other party. //

Which doesn't tell us anything as NSA letters, for example, can IIUC require a company to lie to cover up executive activity.

>The U.S. Department of Commerce did not reply to a request for comment on whether the incident might be related to its move on May 16 to add Huawei to the so-called “Entity List,” //

Which is basically "hey are you being a shithead?", "oh, no comment!". Not even bothering to deny it??

>FedEx declined to give details on what the exception was in this case. //

I mean, it sounds a lot like the response of someone caught with their pants down (ie in the act of committing a nefarious offense).

What is clear is that this is more shots fired -- and TBH the message of "you can't trust USA not to be using security letters to pry in to foreign businesses confidential affairs" isn't anything like unbelievable.
As this appears to be your own project I just want to give you a heads up that the website is not usable on iOS safari.

The website is not responsive, which is unfortunate but not a dealbreaker, but the problem then is that the website is very wide, but it’s also zoomed in and there is no way to zoom out. The only way to read anything is to keep swiping left and right all over the website. It’s a huge pain to read anything on the website like this.

Anecdata, but for 2 years I have had a Chromecast Audio and a cheap Creative 2.1 system about 20cm away from my microwave, which is the type where you can just open the door to stop it. No problems so far.

Don't microwave ovens in large part depend on standing waves (resonant with the chamber size) to deliver the power levels they do?

Not related to this package delivery drama, but the way we are observing the live demolition of the world largest networking equipment maker and second largest smartphone maker (by number) in the name of trade war will never bring back the confidence in those who are flexing muscle.

The illusion of the rule of law, free world, globalization and the reality of control is simply frightening, and worrisome.

People who help me develop thoughts. They're not lists. Generally 1:1.

I’m not sure how useful fallacy theory is when applied thus. We’re all quite happy to accept induction (well, software engineers probably should be), and so the use of formally incorrect heuristics is not necessarily a bad idea.
That's a really interesting way to put it. I once remembered and applied a quote something like "if you could choose one thing to do if you were guaranteed to succeed, what would it be?" Luckily and paradoxically, both questions have the same answer for me.
"Sorry, this content is not available in your region."

I don't have any experience yet, but it is something I'm equally concerned about as a newish father.

First issues seem like non- negotiable to me: ad-blockers, no social media while young, no YouTube/streaming while very young. Shows or television downloaded and scheduled locally/limited to stop the addiction and consumerist problem. I don't have any objections to physically blocking things at a very young age. Education-wise all the usual stuff about online behaviour and safety: don't use your real name, don't give it your details, don't click on ads, or anything sent to you, etc.

No explicit media consumption devices: ipads and phones.

The main issues I have are questions of when and how to introduce more computer time and access and how/when to drop these controls.

I'm less concerned about porn (assuming young kids aren't really interested in it, and by the time he is interested in it I doubt there's much I can do bar education) than I am digital + media addiction, consumerism, gore/ shock sites and nutter ideologies/bubbles (although again on that last I'm assuming education, an actual relationship and exposure probably inoculates best).

Any thoughts on when and how to introduce kids to the digital world when my main fear/thing to protect them from is digital consumption, addiction, consumerism and tech companies?
