If there's anything the modern internet has taught me it's that the Good Old Days were doing some things right! We don't know how to scale trust to internet-sized communities yet so a little tribalism may be warranted.

The way this solution solves the I Don't Know What I Don't Know Problem is by making you curate your own list of experts.

Yeah, I remember hooking up a USB hub to my Motorola Xoom back in the Honeycomb era and for giggles, decided to attach a mouse and keyboard. Both worked with the mouse surprisingly so (if memory serves, it was a blue dot in the color scheme Honeycomb used for UI).

I'm pretty pleased with mouse support coming to iOS. I wanted the 12.9 iPad Pro, but initially couldn't bring myself to do it because there are cases I want mouse and keyboard (remote desktop) and there were even cases I was interested in using a XB1 gamepad (figured I'd go with Shadow or similar for game streaming). It didn't offer any of these at the time in which case I was hoping Samsung would bring out a newer ~13in tablet in the s5e/s4 design. Thankfully, WWDC alleviated both concerns.

First, you didn't have the strong identification between the nation (in the older sense of "people") and the state. So rather than a single French people, say, there were several: Bretons, Normans, Gascons, etc. Second, you generally didn't have the centralisation and uniformity associated with the nation-state as we understand it today: the king's authority was limited or mediated in parts of his realm, bits of which (sometimes quite small bits) had their own time-honoured and diverse laws/rights/privileges. For example, the Bishop of Durham had quasi-regal powers within his diocese, and the great dukes and counts of France were all but sovereigns within their domains, sometimes with a barely nominal allegiance to the king.

These things would be most positive if they were more common, so a vulnerable device would get bricked while it's still in the store return period, and people would just take it back.

If they wait too long, then the result is more sales, which increases profit for the whole ecosystem that produces these devices. But if it's more common and results in returns and exchanges, the result is less profit, which might finally put some pressure where it needs to be.
The whole point of the comment was that Clojure, by and large, forces you to work one way and Python doesn't.

The point of my comment is that it's not true (except in a narrow educational meaning). Your working environment (managers, colleagues, existing codebase) is what defines your limits in general, including language, approach, style, and frameworks. If your current shop can't accept your call to write more functional code in whatever language is used there, it obviously won't start developing in Clojure. It works exactly this way, not in the opposite direction. Ergo, the guy's problem was that his environment wasn't inclined to switch from OO. He couldn't say "Mates, let's use Clojure, because it will finally FORCE you to discover the beautiful world of FP", because they just want to keep doing what they were doing yesterday.

Fixed that for you.

It's not a correction, and I hope you see now what I mean.

I, as a technical person, can generally tell when a website's failing because of an adblocker false positive, and know how to fix it. I know what the reputable extensions are, and I keep track of which ones get captured by the industry (like Adblock Plus).

> The problem is that enterprises have one mechanism to purchase software, and a totally separate mechanism for charitable donations.

And there is paid membership in business associations. That is closer to the purchasing department than to the donation department.

It really is a no-brainer: If there is an organization/foundation which supports the project, the enterprise could just join that, and may in turn even receive voting rights on the future direction of the project.

No need to make complex schemes to work around being unable to donate, or try to sell open source code.
The point these examples definitely prove is that within a single country it is possible to find extremes running both ways and that apparently city governments have a lot of impact on the appearance of the cities.

There was a jailbreak tweak that enabled Bluetooth mouse and pointer support on an iPad over five years ago.

It was surprisingly good. Combined with another tweak that enabled multi-window support it made for a pretty good, though slow, experience.

Seriously, those jailbreak tweak authors were geniuses, adding necessary features years before Apple got round to it. Like file browsers and non-image attachments in Mail.

This is where the intentional pseudo-science of consumer behaviour^ kind of of meets the world of (at least aspirationally) sciences, psychology, behavioural economics, etc..

Does the invisible hand Adam Smith described still work the same way once we are all hyper aware of it. Is it still invisible? Do any human behaviour discoveries mean anything outside of their narrow time and place contexts. Can we tell the difference between ones that do or don't?

Can we really learn about human behaviour?

The headline is like telling narcoleptics that sleepiness is a symptom, not a diagnosis.

Both sleepiness and anxiety are useful. We evolved to have them.

What people are diagnosing is inappropriate anxiety, or anxiety that's disproportionately high given the trigger.

You can't always just eliminate the cause of the anxiety to fix it. OCD is an entire illness that's just inappropriate emotions, and the treatment isn't to change reality, it's to teach the sufferer to be OK with those emotions.

Cough. Their practice of automagically generating user names based on parts of your first and last name in my time led to two users having (for a short time!) the addresses hung@stud.ntnu.no and pervo@stud.ntnu.no.

> Google is a third party when it is about you (first party) using a Mozilla service (second party).

Sure, but that is not the distinction I was making though. Google Analytics is a first-party tracker in the sense that it sets a cookie on the same domain that the script is loaded on. Contrast this to a third-party tracker which sets a cookie on its own domain, and as such the same cookie will be reused for all websites using this third-party tracker.

> it tells Google what they looked at and when

As far as I know only Mozilla has access to the data collected through their Google Analytics account. Third-party trackers, however, often aggregate collected data across a wide range of websites, and might sell augmented, highly profiled user data to advertisers. I have not seen any reports of Google using Google Analytics in such a way, but the data is nonetheless stored on their servers, so you will have to trust that they won't abuse their power.

EDIT: As mentioned by throwaway9d0291, it seems like there are settings for enabling or disabling the sharing of Google Analytics data with Google. Not sure if this is opt-in or opt-out though, but this means that it possible to use the service without Google using the collected data.
With sophisticated attacks like these, I won't be surprised if some of these stolen data were/are on air-gapped servers.
I don't know enough - merely rephrasing a blog post here - but it sounds fair to say that this reduces the primary benefit of network effects of market activity, higher liquidity/lower spread, at the expense of the rest of the market.

Mountain Lions are like Sharks of the land. What I mean by that is that their danger is wildly overblown in movies and news.

Statistically speaking, attacks from both animals are insanely rare.

For example, there have only been 25 deaths from Mountain Lions in North America since we began recording these in the 1800s.

By comparison, fatal shark attacks are over 6 times more likely to occur with about 1 shark attack in North America per year on average.

So it is interesting that whenever we go hiking in the woods or see a mountain lion cross the street, the news reports it and everyone loses their minds. Dying to a mountain lion is one of the rarest ways to die from a statistical perspective. There are rare diseases that you have never heard of that are more likely to kill you.

Every time we put our toe in the water people fear shark attacks. A rogue swell is more likely to capsize your boat than for you to be attacked by a shark, yet some people live in fear of it.

Also if you have hiked any considerable amount in the Rocky Mountains or Sierra Nevada mountain ranges than you have almost certainly had a Mountain Lion watch you, probably several times. Despite the fact, you have never seen it.

Bears are another one. I have encountered so many bears in the wild that I seriously don't even have a count for it anymore. I have stumbled on them less than 100 feet away from me on several occasions and guess what happens... they look me square in the eyes and then calmly turn around and walk away. Sometimes they run away, but they have no interest in killing me. I have never had one approach me once we became aware of the presence of each other.

I hike and camp A LOT, and I have NEVER seen a mountain lion in the wild, despite living in areas of their prime habitat where we know they live. I have seen virtually every other native large animal species on multiple occasions. But I have never seen a mountain lion in the wild. But I can guarantee you that they have seen me several times. That is what is scary about mountain lions. If you ever did get attacked, it would be over before you knew what was happening.

I have seen mountain lions cross the road twice in Park City, UT now. I have seen them in zoos as well. But just never seen one in the wild. Despite spending enough time to encounter bears on 20+ occasions.
