> What guarantee do you have that your thing won't turn into the "Gmail and the rest of them" problem? Basically you need money and tech skills to run a server. Small, amateur servers might have problems like much more frequent downtime, being paid or small and hard to find etc. In that situation, some big corp, perhaps Google or Facebook, could create their own server, free for everyone, but with no privacy and lots of tracking.

This is not a problem I'm trying to solve, as I have not heard/thought-of a solution I like. I also feel it is a minimal problem.

Facebook is a problem in my view. Gmail, not so much. Why? Because I don't use Gmail, and I have minimal to zero issues caused by the fact that I don't use gmail. Federation seems to work well here.

> In that situation, some big corp, perhaps Google or Facebook, could create their own server, free for everyone, but with no privacy and lots of tracking. People will migrate, and then, slowly but surely, the trap will start springing.

I'm not sure I've seen that with something like email. Though, to be honest I'm not sure I've seen anything like email, either. It sort of happens with email in the sense that without a large email provider spam is difficult to beat. Furthermore large providers are distrusting of non-providers (ie, running your own email server), but this to me seems less of a problem with federation, and instead a problem with email itself - one I'm not sure how to solve. Spam is a difficult beast.

> I see that happening with Gmail already.Mail was great, but we need more. Decentrealized protocols should be based on constitutions of democratic countries, as they've learned their lesson already. It's not enough to make a country democratic now, we need to secure it against future hostile attemts at takeover. Same needs to be done for decentralized/federated protocols.

I don't understand what you mean tbh - but if your democratic countries create standards like email, federated and distributed, then I don't have any complaints. Though, to me (as a hypothetical dev) it makes little difference that you added politics on top of it - I just care that it's federated and I can own my data/etc.
It actually has nothing to do with "fun". As I mentioned in my other comment, we don't expose our database publicly and nobody but us can see that a video is unlisted.

It would beat the purpose of our service would we delay our identification, and it would actually require some significant engineering efforts in order to introduce such capabilities into our system with significant economical impact on our business.
Do you have a source for this? Beyond the print on the back of dollar bills, that is?
I rather cleave them all vertically anyways, rather than be left with a bunch of mini horizontal monopolies.

Granted most of your examples wouldn't be, except for search, but it still seems more interesting to me to just have a bunch of mini googles made from cleaving teams. Certainly that would make for some crazier competition.
For Google, you missed the part that makes most money.
Index them is not hard, ranking them to yield a useful first page is.
After reading this book, I built a high throughput, multi-threaded processing system in C++ that didn't use any mutex because I was able to define my operations as both commutative and associative. Because I was able to start thinking at that level thanks to this book it led me to a better design of my system.

It's worth reading, you will get something out of it! But it is a lot of work!

Casting the Dark Web in a New Light
I know many businesses that still use it extensively. Even for modern applications that call web-APIs to check for addresses or analyzing business cards to extract text info. Really no fan of basics dim-witted syntax and properties, but I am regularly surprised what some people manage to put in one giant file of basic.

Most use Access as a frontend with a normal DBMS, mostly MSSQL-Server of course.

I think a general purpose DB frontend with scripting abilities would be really needed as a replacement. You could just use a browser, but that somehow doesn't fit the target group for these kind of applications.

And so ultimately people (consumers) get what they want. If you don’t want to commit to taking steps in a more sustainable fashion, then you contribute to the problem of disposable waste.
Indeed. That's why the federal government agencies hand over the PII to lowest-bidding contractors and subcontractors who then proceed to abuse and leak it.

I mean honestly the old UI wasn't bad, it just was wildly different from anything else which makes the learning curve too steep. I can't recall the blender UI ever feeling like it got in my way after I got to grips with how it does things.
Some people are arguing that catering search results or what content is allowed on a platform to a specific set of political views makes those platforms publishers rather than mere platforms. Apparently this also has some implications in some political campaign laws I don't really understand.

I think we're heading towards political ideologies having the same protection as religious institutions (which IMO, are exactly the same in all practical matters).
Ha. I may have got the ball rolling 10 years ago (https://www.wired.com/2014/11/the-man-who-made-the-uk-say-im...) but I wasn't in any way directly involved in what happened after that.
Why do some people believe this? Is there some inherent truth to it that's been borne out?

I won't fly in a max. Likely ever, but at least for a number of years after they start flying again.

>Given all the scrutiny,

I did not read anything about investigating everything from scratch, there is a possibility that the bigger engines could affect the wings, or other subsystem and because they were rushing they did not test all the systems or downplayed the possible issues.

Adding to my doubts is the fact that all the incentives is to get back in business as fast as possible and safety is just a bump that Boeign needs to get around or over it as soon as possible.

Last big issue is the credibility of FAA, you had the first airplane crash and nothing was done, second airplane crashes and FAA again does nothing until it is basically forced to ground the plane. Without the pressure from the other countries the MAX would still fly today with all the issues and the pilots and airline would have got all the blame

American trucker here. Occasionally I will lose the GPS signal in my truck, but my hours of service still counts down. The electronic logs are kept onboard, and transmitted at some point to headquarters.

I suppose the Qualcomm unit might eventually be off by a second or three. But I don't know if its clock is updated by GPS, phone or wifi. I'm guessing phone.

We're also required to carry paper log sheets in case of Qualcomm outage. So then it would be paper, watch and honesty. The honesty can be sanity checked by speed an distance.

Instructors who wanted very specific formatting, then insisted on an editing format for submitted assignments, like .doc, instead of a presentation/print format like PDF, were tons of fun.

> The kids are allowed to use any app that will capture their text, and they seem to prefer Google Docs.

School kids around here prefer Google Docs mostly because they can chat in it.

Agreed about ditching the word processing. Most of its use in business isn't even writing original documents, from what I've seen, but filling in the blanks in a template or editing an earlier document (a proposal, say) for a slightly different situation. Composing long form prose in a word processor is, as you note, far less common than doing the same in an email field or in some basic text editor which'll be copy-pasted to an email.

Italics and such are still useful. Headers to some extent. Links, certainly. So... I say if we're gonna teach them formatting, teach them a little Markdown. Sure it may go out of style pretty soon, but so might anything. Meanwhile, it can be authored in any text editor, it mimics plain-text formatting styles that have been around for a while and seem to have some staying power, and some of the messaging apps the kids already use (Whatsapp, for instance) support a subset of it. It also introduces the idea of text as instructions to the computer, instantly making computer code less alien.
I thought it was Rumsfeld. (Not joking.)
A Simple, Understandable Production Ready Front End Project Setup
They do (that's literally how GPS/GNSS works), but they drift, for various reasons. One of the parameters that GNSS networks broadcast is a clock correction (how far off each individual satellite's clock is, how fast it's changing, and how fast how fast it's changing is changing), and those parameters come from the ground stations.

It seems like a little drift shouldn't make that much difference, but keep in mind that the speed of light in a vacuum (or air) is about 1 foot per nanosecond, so for every nanosecond one of those clocks has drifted, that's a foot of positional accuracy you no longer have...
I don’t know what to tell you dude. My comments are substantive. What about them makes you label them unsubstantive? That seems extremely judgmental and censorious to me.

Just yesterday I wondered when Boeing would do this and what the name would be.

The new name is about as humdrum and forgettable as you can get, which is exactly what Boeing hopes will become of the memory of all that has transpired with the MAX.

Fortunately the plane has some distinctive and memorable exterior features: A sawtoothed trailing edge on the engine nacelles and bidirectional winglets.
So it would be regular GPS assisted with some basestation at a known location to boost accuracy, as opposed to GNSS (Galileo)?
Guess it's very location dependent. In the middle of Barcelona/Madrid, people won't have any issues with your 50 euro bills but in villages scattered around (mainly my experience is Catalunya), it's hard to find a place willing to give you change on a 50 euro bill if you're only paying for something that is around 10 euros or less.
Thanks, I completely glossed over that since to me their advertisement division is inextricably linked to their search division. Added!
Oh okay. Looks like yours is a bit newer than mine. I don't see that option in the BIOS.
> There's two people in my household and we both are very conscience of being wasteful

It's pretty easy to have much less than 2.5 garbage bags of waste every 2-week. You should read just a tiny bit of zero waste please, it may help you immensely.

You may believe that recycling isn't working, that's fine, but there's plenty of simple easy ways to reduce waste and have less than 2.5 garbage bags of waste every 2 weeks.

What is unsubstantive about this comment? It contains substance dude.
Datacenters use GPS as a timekeeping source to keep synchronization across multiple locations more closely (or did who knows what Google actually uses, I could believe they wait till they move to a better solution to release their whitepapers).
End of the free open internet, but not the free internet nalltogether. China has the great wall. People in china have VPNs.

You cant stop encryption because you cant stop math.
How many folks are derailing recycling out of a misconception of the issues involved? Most I would guess.

Not sure what black/green means. We have separate recycling pickup vehicles around here. They wouldn't run at all if there were no recycling.
We wouldn't want to restage the tea party or baton Rogue fight over some ten dollar cards.
I know. It’s a very complex situation. But I think we should also not blindly accept a lot of wars as “ necessary “ and better than the alternative.

It’s also often not clear who is the good or bad guy. As far as i know in Vietnam for example the main goal was to get rid of the colonialists. If the west had accepted that maybe north Vietnam wouldn’t have aligned with the Soviets. In addition the west also aligned with highly corrupt leaders in the south. We see the same dynamic in the Middle East. Out of short term interests we ally with highly corrupt dictatorial governments there and then we are surprised that things blow up in our face.

I already set in my head that if Reddit ever leaves me without the option to use `old.reddit` I will create a Reddit visualiser for the web, maybe a desktop app if that breaks any kind of TOS but... I CAN'T use the redesign, it's slow, UX is horrible (not that the UX of old Reddit is any good but for a power user it's much better) and I refuse to use these shitty SPAs that just make the experience clunky.

Same way as LinkedIn, I barely use it to reply to recruiter messages, whenever possible I just prefer to reply it through an e-mail instead of suffering with their slow non-responsive UI.

I suggest you talk to members of the first generation of the Vietnamese diaspora living in the US and see what they think about the war.

No war however done is good to have. Some wars are necessary and come with great loss. It’s unavoidable. There were many mistakes in Vietnam-the whole war, but it wasn’t pointless. The middle eastern wars we went into are pointless. Those are local conflicts and we should let them settle their own scores.

The Vietnam war was more than about Vietnam. Kennedy knew that.

Plus it doesn't really make sense to pay $150 a night to steal a $150 tv either.

Especially when you have announced who you were and provided contact details before you stole the TV. Maybe the theft just isn't worth it at that point.

If I want to steal a TV, it would actually be better to rob my neighbor's house when they are away. They will never know it is me, and I don't have to pay them for access to their house.

It's so weird how about 1/3 of the time on DuckDuckGo, I add a !g in frustration .. half the time I still get nothing and I end up posting on Stackoverflow but half the time I get a little more useful information.

Google custom tailors results for each and every machine. Even if you're not signed in, Google uses your browser fingerprint, the OS it's reporting and location/IP data to custom fit results. There is no "stock" google result.

This is something DuckDuckGo et. al. can't do if they want to focus on a privacy model. DDG does offer location specific searches, which can be helpful.
AirBnB does have background checks. You just don’t know about them. I had a friend with an AirBnB account cancelled a few years ago because of a 12-year-old hot check misdemeanor conviction.

Agreed. I was formulating it as this (at a previous job, obviously)

There are 4 "top engineers." All 4 of these top engineers would identify each other as such.

There are 4 "D tier engineers." You'd rather have any ONE of the "top engineers" than ALL the "D tier" engineers.

These D-Tier engineers usually end up "managing" a rote manual process (e.g. calling a script sending emails in batches manually), when any "top tier" engineer would have written an automatic scripted solution that runs periodically, batches on an intelligent interval, logs its output, and automatically alarms if its results are anomalous (and done so in a week and moved on to a new project).
Amusing. That's the data protection agency responsible for Schufa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schufa), which 15 of 16 German data protection agencies agree is breaking every relevant German data protection law. For some reason they disagree / are very lenient in their handling of Schufa. Maybe Microsoft should move their German HQ to Frankfurt or Wiesbaden.

(To make this clear: I think this is a good decision, but they are still hypocrites)
Nearly all of the metrics used to track quality of life relate directly to consumption. Perhaps I would have been better to say ‘standard of living’, which exclusively measures consumption. But none of that changes my point, which is when you say ‘reduce’ in this context, you’re not being honest about what you’re reducing, and basically saying that the only correct way to derive satisfaction from life is the way that you do it (or at least the way you’re proposing it should be done).
But the profit one can gain from crawling sure grows non-linearly with the number of pages consumed.

Thus, small businesses are less likely to reach the threshold of the index size required to make profit ratio comparable with that of their bigger competitors.
As usual, maybe they're not making a distinction but there's a distinction to be made: single record query vs bulk export vs aggregate stats. They're three different things.
I agree, to me it seems like that really does not change anything except it mandates one more middle man.
Fair enough.

I really don't exactly know where we should draw the line of "governments selling stuff for supplemental funding". I'm definitely against them aggregating and selling my data, and my immediate visceral reaction is "the government shouldn't sell anything", but I don't think realistically any harm comes from a teacher having a bake sale to pay for additional school supplies. A teacher at a public school is technically a state government employee, just like DMV workers.

That said, a line does need to be drawn; I guess it's up for the philosophers to figure out where that line needs to be.
Yes, pretty much every day.
This is something that bothers me, perhaps even more in current circumstances.

Our military recruitment model targets people who are primarily just poor. Then we call them heroes and treat them like shit.

But by calling them heroes it implies they signed up for purposes like patriotism and honor. Not the reality that a lot of them are just shifted into it for lack of better options. It’s a grave disservice to soldiers to hide their struggles with bullshit praise.

There may well be heroism involved in military service, but it’s used as blinders to avoid the fact that we have screwed over vets for years ever since, idk, the bonus army; and fully intend to continue doing so.
