This would never pass muster in the context of freedom of speech.

Instead, we should just remove money from politics entirely: campaigns should be publicly financed at a fixed amount each cycle, and term limits should be set on all elected offices.

Politics should not be a career. I want a Congress that's comprised of representatives from a variety of trades and occupations: farmers, doctors, engineers, construction workers, and so on.

Representing your district or state in government should be a seen as a public service of finite length — almost akin to a tour of duty in the military.

Oh wow, changing the user agent to load the mobile website on desktop does indeed make it a whole lot better.

I'm less optimistic about the desktop version since the uselessness of it seems very much intentional but oh well.
>a surprise withdrawal

This may be a surprise to you, but this withdrawal was announced in December of 2018, and even by then it had been discussed for months:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/20/syria-kurds-tr...

This is a Syrian civil war. Do you expect the military to take and hold territory on behalf of the Kurds? They were a partner of convenience because we happened to have a common enemy. Turkey is also an ally (like it or not), and has border issues of their own they'd like to handle.
Don't see why you'd be tainted. Why do you feel that? Have you seen this in your interviews/conversations?
Isn't it the same thing that guys at INRIA with COQ are trying to do since ages ?
Reversing the 2010 Citizens United decision would be a good start. Campaign finance reform (the flavor espoused by Bernie Sanders, perhaps) would be another great step. Unfortunately the recent history in this realm is one of dismantling the apparatuses that kept the exchange rate of money to political influence high. Crony, corrupt, corporate-subsidy capitalism rules, and politics is its servant.
Hum.. interesting. The article does explain that census data is quite different, includes utilities (now I'm curious if utilities are more expensive in Seattle), and the data is gathered by survey. So I'm guessing randomly asking people how much they pay.

Now from reading the methodology of my link: https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/rent-report-method...

They say they also use census data. So the numbers shouldn't be this off. But one difference is that my link doesn't count all census data:

> Our rent estimates do not include rent-controlled units, rental units considered substandard in quality, seasonal rentals, or public housing units.

Where as the Seattle time article explicitly said they do, and that's why you see New York for example having a much lower median than Seattle.

It's still surprising that would account for bumping down Seattle by more than 150 in rank. Another thing they mention is their data is adjusted more frequently for market trends by combining it with active appartment listings. So maybe Seattle only recently improved dramatically, I did.notice a surge in new listings due to a lot of new appartment units being built.

I don't know, nothing very conclusive, seems like it's hard to even get the numbers right.

I picked up very serious sleep problems (and seemingly permanent bags under my eyes) right around puberty and lived with it for about twenty years. Tried most of the "hacks" on this page (yes, including exercise) to no avail.

It all unexpectedly went away when I moved into my current apartment. I have huge, unblocked, east-facing windows, and every morning I’m bathed in sunlight. No more sleeping in; I’m wide awake, no arguments. Consequently, by midnight I am dead to the world.

All of this makes me a bit worried for the future, as "big unblocked east window in the bedroom" seems like a big ask for a rental. But yeah, it worked, my sleep is solved for the time being. Except for chunks of February.

>Which public policy?

Courts can and do rule based on what they perceive is in the public interest in the absence of any particular statute saying so. Imposing liability for complying with a court order seems unlikely to be considered in the public interest.

Apple correctly thought they'd get a lot of positive PR with little downside.

>A company that truly cared about privacy would admit their slip up and offer a way for their customers to get a device that actually gave them the security that Apple had told them the devices they bought had

They basically did this with Secure Enclave. There's no PR benefit to admitting they could technically do something that they've never done, so its not surprising they didn't announce that.

The iPhone took almost a decade to get to the appropriate functionality. The part you're leaving out is most executives just ended up carrying two devices and whined to IT about "why can't YOU make my iphone as good at email as my blackberry???"

That’s not true. The iPhone became good enough to replace the BlackBerry around 4 or 5 years in. By 2011, the BlackBerry was losing market share as Apple added enterprise features.

I recently came across the Acer 5, that runs AMD ryzen 3 with 4GB ram at 315$ on amazon. I did a bit of research (and that's my only experience with it) and if budget is a factor, from what I saw you can't beat this one. If you can buy more RAM do it. Make sure to use both slots to activate the dual channel, as it will perfor better.

It is precisely the process you describe -- that people are very prone to thinking about something for "a few seconds" and "find[ing] some plausibility in the notion" -- that makes the rationalist scientific method important in the first place.

If we could just think about something momentarily to evaluate its probable truth, we would have no need for experiments, hypotheses, or sorting out correlation from causation at all. We need those things because superficial "think about it for a moment" analyses are very often totally wrong.

Also note that pointing out that this correlation does not imply causation is not at all the same thing as denying that there exists a causative link between the factors. It's simply stating that this evidence, in itself, is not sufficient to establish that. Other evidence well might.

I've got an HP Spectre laptop, and Moto X4. Both have USB-C. Both came with their own power supplies. I'm scared to try the HP brick cable to see if it'll charge, or blow up my phone. I doubt the Moto charger would even register on the laptop but maybe it'd trickle charge it? I have no idea or confidence in how mixing these things would work.

But otherwise I prefer USB-C to all previous alternatives so far.
I run vault at my org, we are a devops team of 2, and we do just fine. Vault can be tricky, because a failure in vault def hurts and can impact production pretty quickly.

Normalized for atmospheric lifetime and radiative forcing, American methane emissions account for about 12% as much anthropogenic warming as carbon dioxide emissions:

https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/overview-greenhouse-gases

(Carbon dioxide 82%, methane 10%)

Globally, as of 2012, methane contributes about 23% as much as CO2 to anthropogenic warming:

https://ourworldindata.org/co2-and-other-greenhouse-gas-emis...

(Carbon dioxide 35.47 billion tons CO2e, methane 8.01 billion tons CO2e).

So methane is certainly a smaller contributor toward warming than CO2 but it's more significant than you have conveyed.
As one of your commercial customers, I would give you the feedback that there are a lot of features that get closed (on the github vault issue tracker) with terse and not very user friendly reasons. This is off putting to a lot of people.

We've recently been escalating via sales for github issues we see use for and hopefully that gets back to product management. Not everyone is able to do that however.
I hate to be a jerk about this, but the headline bugs me. When I first heard the phrase "social justice", I assumed it meant that the people who did the work reaped the rewards. Sort of like the Little Red Hen.

But here, "justice" seems to mean the opposite. No matter how the poker game works out, the dealer redistributes the winnings to everyone including those who made foolish bets.

For what it's worth, I think that capital gains should be taxed at a lower rate because people are putting their own wealth on the line. Someone who buys a stock with $100 could lose the entire $100. Yet if that person gets a dividend of, say, $3 in return for the investment, the authors want this $3 to be treated like ordinary income. But people in regular jobs don't put any capital at risk. The worst that can happen is that the boss cheats them and they don't get paid. In other words, they don't get the $3. They don't put any of their savings at risk.

> Prior art doesn’t apply in foreign jurisdictions.

Can you elaborate on this? Japan, for example, requires you to disclose any prior art during application similar to the U.S. Israel recently adopted similar rules. These disclosures frequently include US and foreign (WO, EP, etc) patents and patent publications.

> A country that is first-to-file can file the patent then stop your domestic company from using the tech.

Assuming you filed first in your domestic country, then you just apply in the foreign country and claim priority from your domestic application - thereby granting your application an even earlier effective filing date.

> "Suicidal ideation is contagious"

That seems true. There were some studies done back in the 70s that found a correlation between fatal plane/car crashes and news reports of suicide, as well as a correlation between multiple fatality crashes and news reports of murder-suicides. The implication here being that many small plane and car crashes are actually suicides with plausible deniability.

Of course, taking this to it's logical conclusion, this story should be flagged off the front page since it broaches the topic of suicide and therefore might induce more suicides. (However I think the social value in discussing these matters openly outweighs that risk.)
I would imagine quite a services to just deal with legislation/taxation stuff in all the different markets they operate in. These can also result on several integrations to government systems - all country specific. In some markets they are partnering with taxi companies - maybe more integrations for ordering and reporting.

In general it is easy to underestimate the complexity of systems you are not familiar with. The devil is in the details and deeper you look, more complicated it usually gets.
> in part 2 we talked about improving performance by pushing data directly to the client rather than waiting for the client to request the data

I firmly believe this should never, ever be done. This is the very reason I swapped to linux from windows xp many years ago: there was no way to tell the computer not to do anything unless I ask for it.
There definitely could be one out there, but given the size of the Apple charger, power output performance, build quality and ubiquity, I think it'll be hard to find an alternative that costs less. A lot of expensive components goes into making this charger. I can tell you from my experience of trying to build a similar supply, that's not even an AC-DC circuit, that the components alone cost $30 USD. Even at Apple's production scale, it'll most likely still cost ~$20. That's 25% of the retail price. I'm constantly amazed on how they manage to make them so cheap!

But all the attributes I mentioned could be irrelevant to many. If you carry a 30 liter bag around, double the size of charger won't make a difference. If you're powering lights, output ripple doesn't matter much and so on.

Grrrr. This could have been interesting if Umberto Ecco was arguing semiosis, instead of this poor exercise in semantics. As a concrete example, consider "The AI therapy app is not a mind. It cannot emote. It cannot feel the warmth behind its praise or the sense of urgency behind its criticism. It is passive." Yah, no. I can also do sentiment analysis on the users comments, and the behavior of the system can be driven by a goal to change that sentiment analysis, so I've got me an active participant in a feedback loop - yes, there is no their there, its just a numbers game - but this article is still complete twaddle

This is very true. The other part it misses out is the impact of sales process on product development. Enterprise software companies have large dedicated salesforce, and product managers are under pressure to deliver a feature that will close a large sales deal. I have been there, and we have compromised many times to satisfy a Walmart or a GM because of large $$ associated with that account.

Also, the data in our systems actually don't belong to us. So it was very difficult to run any kind of experiments or metrics to understand product usage to improve usability. You basically have to launch something and hope it works.

Finally, enterprise software companies invest a lot more on sales force vs. software development. Which compromises the quality of the product.
