Conversely, many socialists also don't see themselves as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarassed bolshevik central planners.

Too many people think they know what is best for other people, but they often have no skin in the game and suffer no consequences if the choices they make for others turn out to be wrong.
Some of the posts here amuse me because they're based on the idea that everything that exists now somehow must exist forever.

The train, or electric car, or boat, or other less polluting option from A to B, may well take a lot longer.

That might make certain things impractical. Like, say, me wombling down to Heathrow and taking a weekend in Krakow.

That may well just be the way it has to be. It may be temporary due to technological advancement; it may not.

Just as it may be the case that, in fact, there is no suitable alternative to say, plastic wrap on food. And maybe we'll have to change our diet.

I make no claim that any of the above is true; but if it is; such is life. We will have to adapt.
Windows is a tolerable touch OS because at least it has a touch mode. Linux (GTK+3 at least) is a lot better of course, even though this does involve a bit of a disadvantage for pure keyboard+mouse users.
Denmark plans regulation of influencers following suicide note
I don't think a rules change is unachievable. There's literally talk about it. I would be perfectly okay with a compromise of encrypted signatures or passwords. But I think that is difficult to verify that other things aren't being passed there. So it's probably just easier to allow encryption. I mean Soviet spies probably aren't using HAM bands for secret communications anymore.

I also don't understand the argument that encryption makes HAM closed. The internet is pretty open with encryption.

The whole passenger air travel industry (airlines, aircraft manufacturers, airports, etc) is subsidized because they’re not profitable on their own. But a robust and affordable air travel network is a capability the business world needs to operate our economy.

Boeing and Airbus are two of the most heavily subsidized companies in the world, and the airlines themselves aren’t far behind. They’re both high-risk, low-margin businesses.

Perhaps a solution for indies is to disable key generation and for Steam to allow people to rent games for 20-40% of the price?

Piracy of rented copies, in the context of the current article, really doesn't matter.

If most people never play again after paying 60% for a fake key maybe renting is a very good option. If they buy the game within two weeks of renting the rent costs serves as a credit towards full purchase of the game.
I'm personally a big fan of iOS, but coldpie's (and others in this thread) needs seem to be in third party browser capability that doesn't exist in iOS so with that, I wouldn't recommend it to them.

Desegregation & civil rights was by no means non-violent. Gay Rights was by no means non-violent- in fact, one of the penultimate moments of the gay movements was the stonewall riots, a series of violent acts against the police that are still ceberated to this day within the community. (Not that I'm arguing they are unjustified in their behavior- but there's nothing peaceful about throwing a brick- and most importantly, that brick thrown has practically been enshrined into LGBTQ mythology.)

Arguing that violence is never the answer and pointing to movements that had violent elements that then are regarded as successfully rising up against oppressive systems is nonsensical.
Well, a good teacher could (and can) indeed see, what methods he use are effective or not. As he gets new data with new "fresh" kids who are individuals, but usual still average. So you could experiment.
In real life you probably can't as (at least in germany) it is pretty strict and fixed what is about to be teached in class, when and how. That kills all creativity and creates boredom in the teacher and his class.
That’s silly, bordering on ridiculous. The goal is to reduce emissions. That will obviously have economical consequences. Hell, that’s the whole reason we are in this mess, because doing the right thing costs more than the alternative!
Try SmartGit. It gives you all the power of the command line and then some. A lot of the 5-10 line git recipes you see online are just a single operation in SmartGit.

The reflog is one example. Instead of copying and pasting hashes and checking out each one to see if it had the changes you want, just click the Recyclable Commits box and every commit from the reflog shows up in the normal commit and branch display. Just click one to see its changes, or click two commits to see what is different between them.
So you're saying that, because the median damage is zero, the mean could be arbitrarily small, and in particular might be less than US$3? That's probably true, but your original argument about the purchase price of the data doesn't help to support that.

There's also a problem we haven't brought up in this thread, which is that the main damage from privacy invasion is not to people individually, but to human society as a whole. Increasing the price of doing anything particularly interesting can condemn an entire society to domination by mediocrity.

As I said it's difficult to see on a high PPI screen unless you're looking for it. High Sierra, I think, is the first version where this bug was introduced, so you most certainly have it but it just isn't drastic enough a change to bother most people on a Macbook's screen. The rendering lag is another problem that was introduced with the one I'm referring to, which is a separate issue but they are probably related.
Currently blocked by Microsoft Defender SmartScreen, probably because the temporary (sub)domains were used as malware domains at some point.

Either way, exposing local files to an internet proxy just to open them in a browser is overkill. Lots of script runtimes come with their own lightweight HTTP servers nowadays. For example, I use Python's with "py -m http.server".

The other times I read on my computer are shorter academic papers, reference, and sampling the first chapter of books before switching them to my Kindle or tablet.

> it seems like Apple is making a bet that more complicated input devices are better, which is a total about face from their past positions.

Swapping hardware buttons for touchscreen controls has been a huge success for Apple for over a decade, with the iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, even the Apple Watch. The Touchbar is just another step down that path.

It's arguable whether a fixed set of hardware "F" buttons are more usable, or well-labeled touchscreen buttons. Again, a decade of evidence suggests that software-defined touchscreen buttons are more usable. An iPad is much easier to use than a Mac. You can hand an iPad to a 5-year-old and they get it right away.

> They have gone over to Microsoft's philosophy, which was that UIs should be like an iceberg, with a deep well of hidden functionality for advanced users to discover, and then a separate "normal people" UI layered on top of that.

Apple invented that paradigm by adding keyboard shortcuts to a GUI. They have continued it by adding a command line interface and multitouch gestures to Mac OS.

The Touchbar is similar. If you take it out of the box it is simple and easy to use. But if you are an advanced user, there are all sorts of options to customize it.

This is ultimately the reason I used to pirate software as a young person.

I grew up in a poorer northern UK town. Chucking 50 quid at a PlayStation game was, let's call it "highly impractical". So me, and most of my friends, would burn CDRs and mod the consoles.

I think the correct answer to this, ultimately, if you care about having the widest audience, is charging for the product, but not putting _too much_ effort into piracy being impossible.

Much of the general public isn't hip to the reality that their "favorite brands" engage in unethical and abusive practices. They're either unaware or willing to give them a free pass, because "they like them".

This has changed a bit with the backlash against amazon, but hasn't gone far enough. Lots of people are unable to look past the convenience to them personally. You saw this with Walmart: "they have great prices, and I can get everything cheaply in one place". I have friends with extremely progressive views on employment that love Musk and Tesla.

> Everyone agrees partisanship is bad,

Partisanship is generally good,or at least not bad, in democracies.

Having two big-tent parties that shift platforms in search of a minimal winning coalition renders partisanship into empty tribalism, which is bad.

> people looooove a “bipartisan” bill

Bipartisan bills are the worst because they typically represent consensus of the (otherwise fragmented) elites against the people.

> but FPTP mathematically converges on a two party system, always.

FPTP creates structural incentives toward a two-party system, but voting behavior and party membership is not mathematically-determined behavior and thus no vote counting system “mathematically converges on” any party arrangement.

> To see this in effect, consider that a major party is incentivised to fund fringe opposition parties which will steal votes from the main rival.

And yet they rarely do; more often, and mor perniciously in practical effect, is that they are incentivized to negative campaigning since getting someone who would otherwise vote for the opposition to not vote is just as good as getting someone who is undecided to vote for you.

> There are many alternatives and RCV might not be your first choice, but make no mistake about it

IRV is very nearly the worst even semi-seriously advocated method that isn't FPTP (I won't call it RCV, since there are many ranked choice methods and IRV is worse than virtually all the rest.)

It is so little of an improvement over FPTP that I suspect the harm it would do to the entire idea of electoral reform through the disappointment it would produce in failing to fix the problems motivating a change in voting system would outweigh the very slight improvements it would produce.

> git, in particular, is decidedly unfriendly. What I want to do is commit my changes. What I have to do is stage my changes, then commit my staged changes. As a result, teaching git use takes a significant chunk of the available time, and still leaves confusion.

In college, the way my professors got around this and other things like it was by creating an alias file and scaffolding code. We would get a project that was 1/2 done with all they annoying crap, and then only have to implement the algorithms. Then we would save our work with a single simple command with no options, that was just a shell script for all the source control steps (rcs at the time, but the idea is the same).

They never actually taught us about source control. We just learned it on our own when we stopped having access to their aliases. But at that point we had enough knowledge that we could figure out it (or we were in our first job and the senior devs taught it to us).

I’ve experienced a number of them and never felt anything leading up to them.

The last decent one I can remember was a few years ago around maybe 2 or 3 AM and made my apartment roll back and forth. The rolling woke me up but my partner slept through it. And I tried not to panic so they could just sleep through it, hoping it would end soon.

Also, we didn’t have anything hanging or that could easily fall onto our bed in the bedroom so I think staying in the bed was an okay move.

I live in a single family home now even higher up the Twin Peaks area of SF so who knows how this house will handle the next one. Hopefully it won’t be too bad. At least the ground is solid and not considered a liquefaction zone. And my new neighbors seem to have some kind of thing going on where they stock first aid supplies for first responders in disasters which seems nice and thoughtful.

Though I just don’t understand why SF won’t use our missile warning system for earthquake warnings. Seems like they could make a special earthquake tone and warn everyone if one happens in another city and is heading our way. Even seconds of warning would be so helpful. Could be the difference in being able to jump under a table or desk vs. getting crushed by falling stuff.

It's a pretty well known and indisputable phenomena at this point that negative news and articles and stories drives engagement and is what gets the clicks and upvotes. While it is true that those with different biases will make different observations, you can be pretty certain that it's very likely that regardless of your bias, you're likely to observe that stories about some crisis or bad news will win out over stories that report good, hopeful news.

"Microsoft will purchase Ubuntu outright from Shuttleworth or they will just create Microsoft Linux"

I'm pretty sure since like 2 years they're working on at least the second, but the purchase of Ubuntu too doesn't sound that absurd to me. What really concerns me is their power as a big corporation, which could play a role in attracting a growing Linux user base to their distro. This could lead to disasters should Microsoft pollute their OS with proprietary extensions: developers writing software for Linux on a MS branded Linux would create software that "runs better" there or wouldn't run at all on others.

No conspiracies here, this happens every day in all offices when printers refuse to work with non same brand ink cartridges; so let's say tomorrow Microsoft ports a significant part of their windowing object model to Linux - to their Linux - as a closed linkable blob, then update their development systems so that one can develop full desktop linux applications with the same graphics interface model of the Windows ones. Technical issues aside, how many developers would resist the temptation? And how many of them would keep dual booting when they could build a career by working exclusively on Microsoft Linux?

This is pure speculation of course, but I have this feeling that Microsoft becoming a top Platinum Member of the Linux Foundation was the corporate way of slowly getting to the captains chair.

Don't you ever present anything on a projector?

Many professors in our department have a MBP, and their LaTeX presentations look bad, just because macOS is bad. I notice it every single time, and sometimes (without me even saying, I just tolerate it, don't make a sound) they themselves do, too, asking themselves whether they've grown that so old or something.

I only have the leftovers of my girlfriend, 2015 MBA, as a macOS device. The PDFs look like crap on Preview and many other ".app"s I have tried. SumatraPDF running on Wine works properly though.
