> But trust also degrades naturally over time. Italian researchers Cristiano Castelfranchi and Rino Falcone have a model of trust in which it’s observability not success that is the key factor. Under their theory an entity that is silently successful can end up seen as less trustworthy than an entity that visibly fails.

I would believe it.

From what I know, trust is a fickle, and irrational attribute. It places disproportionate value on first hand sensory input, and it isn't nearly a commutative as would seem reasonable.
Take a look at the referenced study. There's quite a large number of examples where you have plenty of room to look around.

That does not change the fact that people have the natural right of freedom of speech.
As a hint: If you have been employed so far and are quitting your German job now, you have been paying into the "unemployment insurance". You can opt in to continue paying into that, voluntarily, but have to do so explicitly.

I didn't do that, regretted it later and wanted to return to it, but learned that the continuity is lost, that is, my income from the previous 12 months (when I was still employed in Germany) would not count for my unemployment payments.
To get started, I recommend the McKinsey starter's videos at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJetbEO3QGCosQHb_43jVNg/fea...
I suspect the 500,000 words claim comes from the Oxford dictionary, which I understand includes old english, whereas as far as I am aware the most famous french dictionaries (Larousse, Robert) typically don’t include old french.

But it feels inconsistent with my experience of those two languages. I feel French is more expressive, largely down to tricks that are valid french like being able to use any adjective as a verb (like he le gros, tu viens?), effectively creating words on the fly.
How small of a percentage of people need to fall for it to tip an election? How many people need to doubt real evidence as being possibly manipulated to change a jury's conviction?

As it is, there are apparently more than a million people who actually believe QAnon is real, despite the fact there is nobody willing to put their name to the source.
Who? Easy: banks. Bank debt generally has first call in the event of a liquidation, so if everything goes to hell the assets will be liquidated and banks will be the first to be paid back. They likely don't end up losing a lot, if anything at all.

The article makes it seem super obvious that these deals won't work out. But that is actually not the case. Many / most PE deals actually do work out, and end up making the sponsors a lot of money.

And why would banks allow this? Because private equity are huge profit drivers. They use lots of debt. They also acquire many companies, so there is an ongoing relationship.
It’s not so odd when you see countries with laws labeling and controlling “hate speech”, such as the UK, end up prosecuting people for blaspheming religious prophets and critiquing religion.

There are obvious pros and cons to nebulous hate speech laws. They codify assumptions about what is currently culturally sacrosanct into law without regard for consequences.
Providing Julia Code for in-memory sorting, i.e. a binary mergesort with parallel branches and parallel merge plus a specialized sort for instable inplace sorting (better Quicksort, parallel branches only) is not a huge step from the code above: I could contribute that. If however, the expectation would be that the sort is more general, i.e. k-ary and performs for data actually being on ssd or even on disk (JuliaDB?) thats a complete different story: one would need to experiment with much more complicated algorithms such as cache-oblivious funnel-sort, parallel superscalar samplesort, real disk sorts ...
I don't have time for that. How would I avoid duplicating the efforts of others?
then github, gitlab, and others would also be in violation. if you read the information in your own link, they (Git and Github) are ok with other trademarks existing, which this would fall into. Particularly because it's not attempting in any way to imply it has any Git features. Thanks for the link though, good to know.

The most trusted client relationships I had in tech consulting where those that had gone through a major foul up (usually a software issue on our side) that was honestly and diligently corrected. Accountability is a big factor in the equation of trust. Finger pointing has the opposite effect.

There are lots of providers with massive DDoS protection capacity specializing in hosting illegal or otherwise questionable content, they just charge more than cloudflare.

Botnet C&Cs, cybercrime forums and card shops all need hosting and face massive attacks. Somehow I never hear the operators of those complaining.

Because Flutter has it's own rendering engine, it's inherently more consistent in refresh rates and UI components.

Although React Native shows Native elements, they vary slightly across different; devices, platforms, OS's etc.. this can create many weird edge cases, which makes it unreliable in some cases.
Before I started my current job with a company in Thailand, I met with a tax accountant that specializes in international tax law. She looked up the German-Thai agreement and explained to me that I could be employed there regulary and pay taxes in Germany exclusively.

With that info, I traveled there for the onboarding (and getting a working visa), only to learn that the local tax authorities disagreed. My boss then suggested to just have me invoice him for the time being, until a subsidiary is created in the EU. Still waiting after two years :-\
I'm talking about the work to investigate and monitor a forum, gather evidence, and recruit a crowd of people to report it with. I don't know how responsive Reddit is at evaluating any individual report, i don't spend a lot of time on that platform.
Apple Card is just a co-branded credit card no different than a Chase United MileagePlus card. Apple, like United, is the co-brand partner -- the face -- Goldman, like Chase, does literally everything else. Apple Card has a few neat features but not much more than anything else you've added to your Apple Wallet.

Credit cards are a high CAC business in the premium space -- hundreds to a thousand dollars for an Amex Platinum class card. All Apple does different here is lower CAC by leveraging their immense brand power and their retail network and a few neat frilly UI features. Those aren't worth the opportunity cost of a 2% flat cash back card with no annual fee like the Citi Double Cash, or 2.67% with Bank of America if you have 100K in total balances including investments.

Those are the numbers to beat, and also why it's so hard to truly innovate in this space.
Not a flaw, intent. Freedom implies freedom.
From all I've heard, making a profit isn't overridden by the individual's interest not to be tracked - otherwise, Google Ads wouldn't exist in Europe, at all, and Remarketing especially not.

It's not unnecessary data - FB needs that data to target users with ads, the shop needs FB to show ads to people that are likely to buy what they've been shown. I do agree with you that this would be very different if there was no business interest in tracking users, but there is.

I specifically indicated in my comment that colonialism in Algeria starting in 1830, and trust me, I didn’t need Wikipedia to find that out. So don’t try to distract. I’m talking about NG’s nonchalant style of writing.

It increases anxiety and stress, which probably decreases productivity to a much greater degree than whatever benefits you'd get from time tracking.

I suspect the number one factor to a successful project is a happy, healthy team. I'm pretty sure there's a section in Peopleware that backs that up. I'd be really careful with any approaches that risk losing that dynamic (or preventing it from forming).

So mostly this is just complaining about bugs. Does he think that native Android doesn't have bugs? One could easily write the same article for any UI framework.

Also it seems like he is complaining that the Flutter team actually uses a public bug tracker. Does he really prefer Android's bug tracker? The place where bug reports go to die. A year or so ago they gave up on it and basically closed every bug as obsolete.
What Is Flutter 1.7
We're not talking about a government shutting down 8chan. We're talking about one (of many) providers being unwilling to rebroadcast 8chan's content. (Rebroadcast, not host. Their hosting provider is still hosting them.)

I understand people's dislike for any kind of censorship, because it's immensely difficult (impossible, perhaps) to trust the people doing the censoring to be free of bias and to always do the right thing. And I agree with that!

But let's not pretend that all ideas are equal and great. That's just a flat-out falsehood. Some ideas don't deserve to see the light of day. And sure, it's difficult to trust any group to make that judgment. But doing nothing isn't a great option, either.

Don't get me wrong: I don't want to see a government making things like 8chan illegal. But I also don't want to see a government requiring that companies like Cloudflare rebroadcast 8chan's content against their will.
The 'only' there is doing a lot of work.

I don't have a citation for this, but my feeling is that historically, the majority of the people posting hate on social media aired their fringe views in much smaller and more direct social settings (the family dinner table, the pub, their barber/hairdresser) where instead of the reinforcement and gratification of many random upvotes from people in a similar situation or a vitriolic internet argument, they received either a fairly awkward smile and nod, a face-to-face rebuttal, genuine confirmation or (more likely) a mixture of the three.

Or you call up talkback radio and blabber into the void, often being shut down by the host.

A quick thought experiment:

Imagine you're pissed off because you've become disenfranchised for whatever reason and you're looking for someone to blame and lash out towards.

You don't have access to the internet. How much more effort would you have to put in to locate a similarly sized group of like-minded people who vehemently confirm and reinforce your views than you would now? How much more effective would the social filter which you encounter on the way be, remembering that every step of the way would mean real, rapport-inducing, face to face discussions with people who may disagree?
Yes. These info can be easily seen from the view page source on the site. I guess, what could make a site vulnerable is the type or the version of components. For example what type of web server or which version of certain Java lib or .net dll.
Twitter does not have a single point of failure, a person who has done this kind of thing before.
The diesel comparison is perhaps not entirely fair. The density of diesel is about 833 kg/m3 compared to 740 kg/m3 for gasoline. This gives diesel about 13% higher energy density per volume.
I wasn't even aware they have a client, I thought it's just the web view.
I have a couple of android app PoCs in mind but didn't want to go down the Android SDK way which IMO is becoming more and more complicated and verbose with every release.

Just tried Flutter and React-Native yesterday for the first time, and I'm sorry to say both were sorely disappointing.

Flutter was easier to install and get working, but Dart seems to be as verbose as Java with some JavaScript style syntax mixed in. The main dart file was as verbose as a boilerplate native SDK Activity.

RN was worse, though I expected it to be simpler. Something called metro server nearly froze the entire machine on every attempt. Had to power off and restart about 5 times. Then, based on GitHub discussions, built something else called watchman from sources. The official docs don't mention that watchman is critical. That improved it for a while but then the system wide near-freeze came back again. I wasn't even able to display a simple hello world app because of installation and deployment problems.

So far, Kivy seems to be the only alternative that is both simple to code and to deploy. Its file sizes are massive, but given that I already find Android SDK so frustrating to design and implement quickly, I don't want alternatives that are equally frustrating.
It's not that we protect hate speech. We protect speech. Regardless of content (in 99.999% of uses).

As has been brought up in a different comment branch, there is no single perfect definition of "hate speech." It's nice while a hate speech ban matches everything you agree with, but too easy to pivot into something worse.
I don't believe it should make much difference if someone was born gay or not. It's not because gay people were born gay that they should be accepted, but rather that there's nothing wrong with being gay. If someone somehow chose to become gay, they deserve as much acceptance as someone born gay.

The difference is that being attracted to people of your own gender doesn't negatively affect anyone, while nazism as an ideology explicitly wants to hurt certain groups of people.
What you say about voluntary public insurance is true: I currently pay the full amount (both parts, for employer and employee).

It's based on an estimate for my yearly gross income based on last year's tax report. The insurance (TK) assured me that I would get refunded what I overpaid each year. This is relevant, since I work much reduced hours due to family obligations. But I still have to pay forward the higher estimates for tax and insurance now...
The golden rule does exist, freedom of speech.
For those who are looking for an alternative to Flutter/React Native, please check out Nativescript @ https://docs.nativescript.org!

It's different in a few key ways:

- Draws native components (Flutter draws every pixel)

- Pure JS native (i.e. JNI powered) shim layer (you can write stuff like `const intent = new Intent()`)

- Typescript as first-class (not quite so with React Native, and IMO Typescript > Dart as far as type systems and ergonomics are concerned)

- Ability to use both Angular and Vue to structure your app (there's also projects out there like Svelte-Native, which is extremely promising from the performance perspective)

- More community driven project (with Progress standing behind, following the open-source & extra features business model)
You're talking about two completely different levels of granularity. It's fine to discuss "what did we accomplish this month" and try to quantify it. It's not fine to ask a script writer why they didn't write any lines between 8:30 and 9:00 this morning.

> 2 percent cashback is about as good as it gets without messing with annual fees.

Citi Double Cash is 2% flat cash back with no annual fee, and BoA has a 2.67% cash back card if you have 100K in assets with them. Cash advances and late or missed payments fees are rare if you keep on top of things, but the spread on cash back hits your wallet every time you use it.

> Windows apps usually just re-invent all kinds of UI elements

It wasn't always this way. Before Win8, most apps used native controls on Windows.

When it became apparent GPU rendering is the way forward, MS re-implemented them in WPF. It does draw everything from scratch, because the backend is now DirectX 9. But it was a first party reimplementation, the UX is good.

Then came Windows 8 and Windows 10, trying to converge PCs and phones. They screw up the UX. Now windows phones are shut down, but UX on PCs still suffers the consequences. The new GUI framework is better then ever, but there's no consistent UX on top.
>Adding Flutter or any other UI library that draws everything from scratch is a bad idea.

Some would say re-writing the same app 5 times (Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android) and maintaining 5 codebases is a bad idea.

Because making software is like oneoff or small batch production as opposed to a traditional production line.

Engineering practices vary wildly depending on what type of engineering you are doing.

That's one of the problems they had when developing BS5750 and ISO9000 , "where do you hang the defect ticket" was one of the areas where they had problems - that was what the head of the BSI software quality project told me back when he was auditing a project I worked on ack in the 80's.
is that like "brexit means brexit"? :)

The fact that the article says “believed to be” strongly suggests that things are not as simple as they’re “believed to be”, because if the passwords were easy to crack that’d be trivial to prove.

We don’t know how the passwords are hashed. All we have is a journo guessing.
As a Rust noob, what's the rhyme or reason for semicolons?

I see the example:

struct S {}

but here the semicolon is required:

type T = S;

or you get weird errors. It's hard to predict when a semicolon is required at least for type declarations, is there an underlying principle?
True, the private insurance is typicall less expensive now (when I researched, it was 50%-60% of what I pay), but you have no guarantee that it will stay that way. They could just increase the fees for everybody, in the future, or just increase it with your age, as the health risks go up.
so it is an oversight? granted the drafters of the US constitution were very young and inexperienced but surely they would have mentioned hate speech separately?
I think part of the concern or risk around cash is that the CC company cannot 'undo' the transaction or get their money back the way they can in other transactions.
Sure, that's why I gave two petrol examples as well.
One of the best lessons I’ve learned: a 1% chance of making 10B is worth 100M. This took a disturbing amount of time for me to digest, but it’s absolute truth. Food delivery has a very slim chance of working, but oh baby if it works.
I also sometimes track time, so I know how long takes particular task. Good developers do this and can quickly estimate project’a complexity by breaking it into known length tasks. I saw this in a highly specialized consulting company. My boss knew how long particular task took and asked if I need some help afterwards. It was great support and mentoring. But I now experience exact the opposite. My managers come to me if it took me longer second time than first time to complain about me being to slow. This time tracking thing can become very ugly in micromanagement environment.
This seems like a fairly biased post (as he admits himself). Flutter has a lot of problems, but if you've used any other cross-platform system, you know it's a hard problem to solve.

A friend described it to me as "Unity for apps", which I think is pretty positive and accurate.
Silver line goes there, but I’m not sure how useful that is.
It's not similar because it's based on adversarial networks. Any improvements in detection methods can be incorporated to improve the fakes.

The author keeps writing "system call" when he means shell directive for assigning stdout/stdin.
Yes, that's right.

The growth over any finite window, if you partition it into smaller windows, is the sum of the growth within each partition.

Draw enough pictures and you'll develop the intuition that, if you keep partitioning smaller and smaller, you'll reach a point where the average growth rate across a partition is never going to change very much by subpartitioning further. If instantaneous growth rate is going to be defined at all, it has to be very close to the average rate over that tiny interval, no?
It would be foolish to think the US founding fathers did not think of hate speech. There was plenty of hate speech directed toward Britain at that time.

Looks interesting, but from the homepage I had absolutely no idea this had anything to do with apps. What would be a good place to start?
Movie scriptwrites are not getting paid per hour though. What they get paid for a script is unrelated to the time they spent.
They appear to be similar to the way most other languages like C and Java use semicolons, where a semicolon isn't required after a code block (generally denoted by squiggly brackets), but is required at the end of most (all?) other statements.

In the credit card world, "no foreign transaction fees" means, literally, the mid-market rate. If they charge a spread on forex, it's very clearly spelled out in the disclosures as required by law. It's not advertised as a no foreign transaction fee card if they have a forex spread. That's not something they mess around with. No forex fee is pretty much table stakes these days.

Just be careful, if someone in a foreign country offers to bill you in your local currency you literally cannot win. They whack you with a ~10% "convenience" fee and if your issuer charges foreign transaction fees, they'll do that anyways because it's based on point of sale and not based on currency.
A million people 'believing' QAnon sounds like faulty extrapolation from Lizardman's Constant.
