> The Soviet Union pushed for disastrous political systems based on their own autocratic socialist model, and funded ideological guerrillas to destabilize the nation if it didn't wholly adopt their ideology.

That's the point, though. The USA did exactly the same thing:

I am not blind to the bad actions of the USSR. I'm just also not blind to the bad ones of the USA and its allies during the same time period.

A couple of points:

1. Provide developers with convincing reasons for important product decisions.

2. Developers do not like to be led by someone they think isn't technically capable. Being a smart rubber duck for the team works in most discussions, and when niche technologies are presented, you can always buy time to read up on it before greenlighting solutions.

3. Be proactive in resolving internal team conflicts, in an amicable and respectful fashion.

I didn’t do the same thing at all. You’re seemingly continuing the same trend. There have been multiple people now all claiming the same thing about Youtube’s algo. Of course nothing convinced me because I already knew. It’s an obvious thing to many people who use YouTube to a certain degree. So did other people here.

I didn’t do the same thing as you because I didn’t post around multiple times asking for the same thing from multiple people and acting sort of obtuse like they are saying something isolated.
"To say it is the natural way of things is, in my eyes, completely ignorant. If that were the case we wouldn't have seen numerous people's revolts throughout the entirety of human history [1]." - It is natural, people want authoritarianism naturally. They just want the authoritarian rules or person to follow their point of view or agenda. Look at the list and see how many replaced one authoritarian with another authoritarian. Or the resolution was authoritarian.

"You say both say people want one thing, while contradicting that statement and saying people have different points of views and agendas - so we don't all want one thing? It could well be most or a few or some or a minority want authoritarianism; but the only constant I can see in governments throughout history and modern society is their inconsistency." -- I never said everyone wanted one thing. My comment was that most people would prefer a more authoritarian government that agreed with their point of view or agenda.
I am conflicted.
I think that Daily Mail deserves it all. At the same time I don’t think it should be Google’s duty to limit the reach of a bad publication by means of algorithmic changes to its opaque Search product.

"... six year follow-up study found no adverse effects in anyone who consumed the meat"

yet a few paragraphs down:

"... the best way to avoid it is by not eating deer or elk meat"

Is the six-year study is wrong or your assertion to stop eating the meat is wrong?

Furthermore, CDC writes that CWD "... likely spread between animals through body fluids like feces, saliva, blood, or urine, either through direct contact or indirectly through environmental contamination of soil, food or water". https://www.cdc.gov/prions/cwd/index.html

Nothing to do with eating the meat, after all the impacted animals are herbivores.

>.. in the short term.

What do you mean in the short term? Since WWII there has been a steady global acceptance of democracy. You don't think that was something that just happened by accident? This is something to consider for those that want America to simply stay within its border and let nations fight it out to solve their problems.

Your characterizations are also highly skewed. They are reminiscent of conspiracy theorists that attribute all malice to one entity they hate. For example, American didn't export hyper-capitalism to Russia. The Soviet system was a humanitarian disaster for decades and when it collapsed it led to internal chaos until Putin showed up. There was good-faith effort on the part of America and Europe to stabilize the nation and bring it into the community (not just for altruistic reasons - Russia is a very important country).

I'm not sure what the distinction between individual economic freedom and 'megacorp' (your term) economic freedom actually is. America (just like Britain before it) has pushed for global trade - on balance that's a good thing.

It's also the case that folks like those that run the Daily Mail have over-specialized their revenues in ways that depend on Google. They didn't have to do this, but they chose to.

I doubt it will change, but hopefully it'll be a lesson to other folks in the business.

The places with a "housing crisis" are uber-wealthy neighborhoods or cities like SF or London, the crisis is not caused by incoming refugees but by high salaries, and yeah, it's rich people who live in those tiny spaces. Comparatively, poor people live in more affordable neighborhoods.

I don't like these posts (for any language, not only Haskell). Invariably they will list many points, most of which are subjective or tangential.

There are one or two core points (here I guess it is "Control Flow") that would benefit going into much deeper. I think, you'll find these points aren't as solid as they appear (cf. other threads in the comments).

Using Haskell is fine. You don't have to justify it. It's enough to like it, being comfortable and productive with it.

Own your gut. Don't make pseudo-truth argument lists to justify your decisions.

It's not a mature liberal democracy, maybe it was one time. It's just that power always tries to acquire more power and obviously any not __perfectly__ designed political system will always end up authoritarian and undemocratic.

IANAL, but the source distribution requirement from network use only comes into play if the original AGPL work is modified. Section 13 of the AGPL seems to be the only part of the license that deals with remote network access, and it specifies modified versions. Everywhere else the discussion is around "convey", which in the definitions specifically excludes interaction over a network.
One thing mentioned in the article is the lack of patent incentives for Enbrel that don't affect the other medication with the funky Xanjy name that appears to have longer patent legs. If true the patent system is sick and twisted and needs to be turned 180 degrees to where the invention owner incurs disincentives - say loss of 1/4 of the exclusivity period - for each failure to share material research surrounding patented formulations.
That's an entirely different conversation... I do think Uber in particular was great at creating hype and glossing over the fact that their pricing/model isn't sustainable without the substantial rider/driver subsidies and worker exploitation that let them consistently undercut traditional taxi pricing.

What I meant is that any poor market performance for Uber/Lyft could simply be a function of investors waking up to the aforementioned realities, it doesn't necessarily indicate the bursting of some broader bubble.

Furthermore, I don't even view Uber/Lyft as "tech" companies. Sure, they make software, but they're not in the software business.

Without really digging into this, if it's a neural model like a sibling comment mentions perhaps you can do model compression that shrinks many multiples, if that is the majority of the image size.
While I don’t fully agree with the OP there is a grain of truth there. And I don’t see the contradiction you do: the point is people want a regime that supports their own views, that’s clear. But that’s not enough, the regime must also quash every other competing view so theirs stays unthreatened. Meaning an authoritarian regime.

But of course as a supporter one would not see it as such. Many people honestly don’t realize the authoritarian part until their interests no longer align and the regime targets them too.

As someone who develops mostly in C++, I can tell you that productivity is a very small concern. We are well aware that most GCed languages are significantly more productive. Virtually the only reason people use C++ nowadays is for performance (and/or footprint) (that is partly because we have seen reports that Java delivers better productivity in the early '00s, so those who care about that have switched a long time ago; in fact, the effect was so large that they didn't have a choice). Now, if someone showed that Haskell has a significantly better performance/footprint than C++ that may cause someone to shift.

On this topic I am always surprised to notice, walking around downtown SF on a weekday that literally every single parking space is taken up by a work truck, like a contractor, repair person, plumbers, etc.

That’s pretty crazy when you stop to think about it. The space isn’t actively being used all day, I’m guessing these folks just know the right time to get there early after street cleaning to get a spot they can sit in all day because it’s cheap. Is there really no better use for this public space on some of the most expensive land in the world? Surely they could unload their equipment and then go park in a garage around the corner.

So to your broader point, yes obviously there needs to be some way to get heavy equipment, furniture, etc into cities. But there’s no reason it needs to be the extreme it is today, with so much priority given to private cars and parking.
Because they perfected the exploitation of Googles search algorithm? Have a look at the site. It is literally a clickbait content farm.

MongoDB's new license targets scenarios where Google would provide a hosted MongoDB service to their customers (like Amazon's RDS offering, for example). It has no impact on individual customers personally spinning up their own MongoDB on their own set of servers for their own use.
Correct but you will be downvoted here of course.

Edit: and now this comment is flagged.
nearly all news sites, from infowars to nytimes, are borderline sharecroppers off the daily flow of traffic from google search. its usually only a fifth to a third of their traffic, but its their single biggest source usually. the cornerstone of the business.

daily mail just basically got evicted by the landlord. I'm super curious to see where they drew the line.
That may be, but their recent decision to no longer disclose per-unit sales for any of their products on earnings calls moving forward doesn't necessarily signal good times ahead.
Their revenue for the last 2 quarters is down from the same period a year ago, and there doesn't appear to be anything on the horizon that's going to catapult their earnings back up. iPhone sales have been in decline for a few years now.

They're banking that the margins of these new, higher-end products offsets the sales lost by shrinking their market. The problem with this strategy is that it isn't very sustainable and leaves them vulnerable to losing market share.

Microsoft keeps getting more serious about Linux compatibility, and if they ship a surface pro or something similar that can seriously compete with the MBP, things will get interesting.

I don't think so, for me the illusion is not just uniformly upwards throughout the cycle, but also includes a sudden downward shift, so its more like sawtooth motion illusion., so if it were to move down I predict it would look more like a somewhat static diamond jumping down in steps... it would be interesting to try in order to determing the exact illusory motion profile, if it doesnt seem static between the jumps but seems to wiggle up and down before jumping...

Edit: if someone would try this, I would recommend using a larger diamond with thick enough edges and viewed from a distance such that pixelization effects are ruled out...
Google has to do some sort of curation, or we're left back in the early 2000's where people are just throwing keywords up for the google crawler to find. Is there a difference between those sites and the daily mail? Oh yeah, but I don't know where it sits on the spectrum when compared to those old sites and more reputable news agencies.
Boomers dying off won't automatically create large-scale changes you're expecting.

The notes are markdown and in the FAQs he mentions the location of the local data cache. I imagine you can simply copy all your notes from the cache, clean up any incompatible metadata, and import them to your next note app.

Don't let paying for software stop you if you can afford it. This looks like quality software and we should support it, if able. If you're looking for free note software that's tied to a company, Firefox has a note taking app that syncs between phones/web browser (it's a bit buggy and logs out at times), and Google has Keep that also has apps and available on the web.
I'm on the fence with whether I agree with you. Yes, biases may come into play, but Daily Mail has always played fast and loose with facts. If Google has found a way to identify bullshit like that and de-prioritize it from search results, that's both amazing and good for the world. It would encourage DailyMail to focus on news, facts, reality and not their usual tabloid fare.
I can confirm that. I spent some time looking at it when the entire sales team at the SaaS startup I was at insisted on it. I'll admit, I have yet to see a BI tool that was this easy. I tried selling them first on a self-hosted instance of Apache Caravel, but it turns out ANY SQL is too much.
Except the whole reason Google rose to be the best search engine is because they created a better search. More context awareness and better algorithms to find quality/relevant posts. As the SEO meta game changes, so must they, to stay ahead of those who want to game the system.
