As far as I'm aware there's a good reason why the carbon tax in washington failed: They didn't implement a mechanism to give back the money to citizens. However this is a key part of what many believe a carbon tax should contain, so it doesn't look like a "government wants more money" scheme.

Most carbon tax schemes proposed by economists explicitly have this built in, see e.g.: https://futurism.com/the-byte/carbon-tax-give-citizens-money

Purism can't guarantee someone won't try to flash that firmware. so the best solution they came up with was to create a parallel chip to store the firmware they have vetted to be safe and to overwrite the modem or wifi firmware with their version of the binaries anytime a change to the other firmware is pushed through
This is absurd on so many levels. For example, it's pretty obvious that Bitcoin cannot be valued based on its exchange price in such huge quantities - if any party decided to sell $5bn worth of BTC, the price would obviously go down dramatically at this point. What's the logic behind this order?

For the past few days I've been seen spam events in my calendar about "free iPhones" and "webcam girls" - I couldn't figure out where they were coming from. I have CamScanner installed, so presumably that's the source...

Now, I can remove CamScanner (which is a shame, it's a really good app), but how can I ensure the trojan is also removed?

These are still all goal-based examples. You may be too old to ever be a good surfer, but probably not too old to enjoy farting about with a surfboard in some small waves. You may not ever be able to repair the emotional damage yourself and your child have done to each other, but you can probably enjoy going to a movie together.

Etcetera. AFAICS what this article is getting at is simply "do more of what you enjoy"
On the other hand, we _could_ try to get to a world where "military grade" encryption means it's so fire and forget that actual military people won't fuck it up. Which would be very good for everybody else.

Nobody calls a truck engine "military grade" because it's hard to maintain and only works on artisan made nitromethane, a "military grade" truck engine has to be maintained by an ADHD kid who got mediocre grades in shop class and run on whatever counts as "fuel" in the country the truck is passing through.

Passwords for example, are a bad idea, so we want to design a system that doesn't have those. The password step being mindlessly replicated is a bad idea in large part because passwords are themselves a bad idea, if the instructions involved a system that randomly generated session keys the same mindless replication would ensure all recruits used randomly generated session keys - which would be safe.

> The Chinese news would emphasize isolated incidents of violence by the protesters during the protests, pontificate on it and publish op-eds analyzing the cause of the protests ranging from the failed economy of Hong Kong to the profound corruption of its youth.

You still haven't explained what 'truth' is missing from the english language news coverage. Pontificating about the "corruption of HK youth" and cherry picking isolated cases of violence sounds more like partisan hatcheting than actual news or analysis.

> there's truth in both sides

Most likely, but the truth rarely exists at the median of both 'sides', or even anywhere close to it. Enlightened Centrism(tm) is dangerously myopic.
As a physicist, I found it to be a very pleasant and self-contained read that required very little knowledge of economics to appreciate.

Hey, I'm one of the maintainers of Presidio OSS.
We built this tool mainly for Microsoft's strategic customers and decided to open-source it for others to use. No hidden agenda here.

The engine has two main advantages: It's easily expandable and customizable, and it works well at scale. We do know of organizations who are very close to production with it.

Every organization has their own requirements for PII entities, many of them specific to the org itself, so the engine allows a developer to easily add support for new PII entities using code, regex or black-lists.

See hree: https://github.com/microsoft/presidio/blob/master/docs/custo...

As for the productization aspect, we did some performance tests and are confident with taking it to production. Single instance cluster with a medium size machine has a ~65ms response time for a 100 word sentence. Using better machines lowers the response time to ~24ms for 100 words and 150ms for a 1,000 words input.

The current service uses regex for known patterns and Spacy for named entity recognition (person names, places etc.). Users often built custom ML models to detect new types of entities.

Presidio is free, completely transparent, and fully customizable. Feel free to use it and let us know what you think.

Imagine this law was passed. Joe of Joe's Garage doesn't read BoingBoing and has no issues complying with the new law which obliges him to pass the security tapes he used to delete because they were so uninteresting to an agency representing SpouseTracker.com, and is not at all interested in revising his views of the necessity of collecting data of possible crimes against his business in the unlikely event he reads a paper about aggregating camera data to track individuals or an article about a stalker who tracked the target of their obsession using public feeds of nearby CCTV cameras, even if he makes the connection. The proprietors of SpouseTracker.com and stalkers everywhere thank the privacy advocates for their support.

Reminds me of the following joke (sorry) :

Q: Did you hear about the dyslexic, agnostic insomniac?

A: He stayed up all night wondering if there was a dog.
If you're offended by questions, that suggests you have faith but not confidence. Sometimes the answer isn't so great like "shouldn't we use the most powerful antibiotics available in every case to maximize each patient's chances?" or any other utility maximization, really. It can all have negative consequences.
(IANAL) The headline is misleading. From the court order:

"the Court deems the following facts to be established for purposes of this action: (1) Dr. Wright and David Kleiman entered into a 50/50 partnership to develop Bitcoin intellectual property and to mine bitcoin; (2) any Bitcoin-related intellectual property developed by Dr. Wright prior to David Kleiman’s death was property of the partnership, (3) all bitcoin mined by Dr. Wright prior to David Kleiman’s death (“the partnership’s bitcoin”) was property of the partnership when mined; and (4) Plaintiffs presently retain an ownership interest in the partnership’s bitcoin, and any assets traceable to them".

Also from the order (and quoted in the article): "The Court also is not required to decide, and does not decide,how much bitcoin, if any, Dr. Wright controls today. For purposes of this proceeding, the Court accepts Dr. Wright’s representation that he controlled (directly or indirectly) some bitcoin on December 31, 2013, and that he continues to control some today."

In other words, Kleiman's estate gets half of some indeterminate amount of bitcoin that Wright mined prior to Kleiman's death. Which as well may be zero, not $5bn.
> Mobile devices simply don't have the CPU and memory to cope well with client-side JS apps.

I think they do, but most client-side JS apps are horribly designed. They load the whole bundle at once, display ads, have setTimeouts and other unnecessary things that add to the bloat.

Native apps aren't great either, I hate the Twitter and Reddit ones, they constantly fail to load stuff, block and restart.

A substantial portion of requests blocked by my pi-hole is Windows telemetry. And I can't turn it off. That alone justifies a high level of righteous anger at Microsoft. And then, in the last update, it installed Teams, and caused it to always open on startup. Never did I agree to that installation. How can one trust a company that does that?
There are indeed many absurd things about this case, but that's not one of them: the value of anything will collapse if you try to sell a significant fraction of the world's total supply at once.

At $2000, a Peloton bike is $1000 to $2000
cheaper than the cheapest carbon-frame
bike I could find on Google

That's pretty weird because I get "13 of the best carbon fibre road bikes - from £599 to £10,000" [1] ($732 to $12,200) as the first Google result for "carbon-frame bike"

Unless of course you're ignoring every sub-$4000 bike as "bad cheap carbon" but that's not what your post says :)

Of course, if you're buying a bike exclusively to use on an turbo trainer, I'm not sure I see the logic to getting a carbon frame anyway - it's not like the weight or bump handling makes any difference.

> If the motive for the solution is emotions

This is a stark misrepresentation of my point. Persuading people to accept climate change is (or at least may well be) part of the solution. Persuasion involves an emotional aspect for the majority of people.

On a broader note, motives unavoidably involve emotion, or at least a value judgement. Scientific results never inform what ought to be done. Science does not provide values. It's a tool that helps us to achieve valued outcomes.
Well I threw together a system which assigns a guid to each request and reports this guid to the user if something goes wrong. The guid is sent when calling across services internally so you can trace log lines across API calls and services.

The logs are written from containers to CloudWatch and consequently forwarded to ElasticSearch where we use Kibana and LogTrail [0] to view the logs and search them.

It's nowhere near as nice as XRay and other APM solutions but it hardly took any time to throw together. Fundamentally, this is how XRay works, only there is a specific format for the ID.

However, XRay now supports our runtime so we'll take another look at that. It looked like an interesting option at the time.

For a mobile app you'd want to assign a guid or some sort of user id to the device itself so you can track the distinct API calls it makes. I believe XRay and other systems support this but we don't have a mobile app so I don't know how that'd work for you.

US(and UK, and many other countries) can already ask you to provide password for an encrypted file and jail you if you refuse. The thing is, there is no way to prove that a file is indeed encrypted, or just a collection of random bits - in fact they can just say you used stenography to hide something in a completely normal .jpg file, and you need to provide them with means to decode that. You cannot prove that it doesn't exist, all it takes is their expert saying that "we can prove beyond resonable doubt that the file is encrypted" and you are screwed.
Not legal, but I’d imagine you could push that ceiling safely and without any consequences out there. Problem is taking photos from illegally high makes the wrong kind of evidence.

Why do they cancel this product? Are they losing profit over this? Were they working on any new features? If no new features are required, would it be such a hassle to just keep the product working without assigning engineers to it? Only support?

No idea why they would spend US$2,000+ on them, most of this price is for improvements on weight and drag reduction, if you aren't moving the bike then there isn't really a point. Except for the wheels and tyres as rolling weight has some impact on your pedalling, I really don't understand.
OK, so TFA is for web developers.

But it's still funny that it doesn't mention ads. Especially ads that run video. Reducing power usage is an important befit of using ad-blockers.
I still think React is a wonderful library and feels like a more natural way to express a dynamic web page. Other frameworks get into your face a lot more.

It does seem like a lot of the grievances in this post are about arbitrary choices by the author or the teams using React as part of their stack.

Maybe I'm not attached enough to React that I can understand the problem.
There's a slight disadvantage for electric planes when it comes to "refueling" times for those ~1000kWh batteries. This may be worked around in multiple ways like (very) fast charging or battery swaps. But without this you'd have a pretty bad turnaround time.

There was a tax cut that took effect as-of January, 1971. Actually, the government sold it to the public as repeal of a 5% tax surcharge effective 30 June 1970, but they did not change form 1040 to identify which income and/or deductions were in which half of the year, so it actually worked out to be a 2.5% reduction in tax rates as-of 1 January 1970, and a 2.5% reduction as of January 1971. With these 2 pay raises from the government a year apart, employers may have felt less pressure to raise wages.

In addition, note that the first year of very high birth rates during the baby boom was 1952. The non-college bound high-school graduates would all be entering the labor force in 1970 and 1971. As the draft lottery numbers were drawn late in 1969, those who got the high numbers felt free to leave college and enter the work force without fear of the draft, most often at the end of the school year in June 1970, and thencefrom a large fraction of high school graduates could make their decisions about whether or not to attend college without any need for ways to avoid the draft.
I was wondering that as well. However I am not sure I would call it a technical post. To me it reads more like the rant of a person who hates react because it was written by facebook.

Custom languages like that are one of the many reasons I said no to a job offer from Capita.

The idea of a federated package registry is good: it tries to avoid centralization and control of a language ecosystem by a private company (like it happened with NPM).

However, I think it can easily be gamed, the same way Git was gamed by GitHub. I do wonder what prevents any of the big companies, for example, Microsoft through Github, to host an instance of Entropic, and adding too-good-to-be-true features on top. These could be automatic vulnerability alerts, detailed metrics, integration with code completion services, but only if you use their instance, and could serve to convince anyone to host mainly on Github’s instance. Then they roll their own CLI that supports Github-only features, and then they close API access to third party clients. The Apache 2 license would allow all of this, without problems.

This has happened before with XMPP (Google Talk, Facebook Chat), IRC (Slack, Discord) and SMTP (Gmail). I think we’ll need more than federated protocols to solve the problem of VC-backed companies, but at least this is a start.
One difference is that "black men in tech" are a minority with a lot of discriminatory experiences. Criticizing a minority you don't belong to for complaining too much is something different than criticizing the majority you do belong to for the same thing.

I understand the author's frustration at being forced to do work for what he perceives as no benefit.

If so, just add another layer that biases the result based on actual distribution.
