The Curious Case of the Disappearing Nuts (2017)
You’re always fighting upstream that way.

Even at a massive enterprise with a 9 figure account relationship with Microsoft, they just won’t fix issues after a few weeks of release. The product groups will rope a dope you until you hit some product cycle milestone and then tell you to fuck off.

The company has laid off or reallocated everyone and moved them to Azure. It’s Windows latest or bust. Since Apple is a shitshow with Mac and Google is too mercurial to rely on, dumpster fire is the new normal.

If you can do it, the smart money right now is to invest in iOS and watch Chrome.
It's a perfect example for exactly that reason. NYC is expensive, but not as expensive as cities like San Francisco, precisely because we have more apartments here.

We should be building significantly more, but this shows the continuum. Tokyo > New York City > San Francisco

In the case of AdWords, your billing address is also a linking factor.

In the case of Google Cloud, being Owner of the same project or organisation is a linking factor.

In the case of Google Payments, using the same bank details is a linking factor (also applies to GCloud).

> In the past, temperature rises caused by other factors have in turn caused the release of CO2, raising the temperature further.

That's your claim, but you can't actually derive that from the data. It may just as well be the case that rises in temperature cause the release of more CO2, period.

> This does not in any way call into question the causality between increasing concentration of CO2 (a greenhouse gas) and increased warming as predicted by gas absorption equations which we teach in high school.

The climate on the planet isn't a simple gas absorption equation, there are other factors. Even if the greenhouse effect is a factor, it couldn't be the dominating factor.

Otherwise, how could an ice age just "end" a period of high CO2 concentration? Shouldn't the greenhouse effect prevent it? And if so, will the next ice age be "tamer" if we keep CO2 levels up? Wouldn't that be good?

Why isn't this true? Of course you can do "anything else", the claim is that you are generally advised to not do that, e.g. https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian (point 1.3)
> People are going to have to get used to paying for a ton of other services.

I and a lot of other people are fine with that. Patron et al. showed that people are willing to support things they like. From podcasts to open source projects.

The narrative that the only way to have nice things on the internet is via advertisers' money is pushed by the advertisers themselves.
I'm afraid I can't find the source, so take this with a grain of salt. But I seem to remember reading a few years ago about a small company having all their employee's Google accounts suspended because one of them had previously been banned for something, and his banned account then "infected" any other accounts it came into contact with, like common projects.

I question whether separate accounts would help, Google's automated systems probably connect them and bans all of them anyway.

What’s a radioactive particle? How does does that article account for the difference between plutonium, uranium, cesium, iodine and their substantial differences when it comes to their effect on the (human/animal) population. I’ll call any comparison on pure particle count bullshit.

There’s no question that coal is a stupid way of generating electricity, but that doesn’t make the dangers of nuclear go away.
>skyscrapers can't be built out of wood, too.

Skyscrapers can't be built out of concrete either. It's the rebar that is the structural component that makes it possible to build skyscrapers. We can build skyscrapers with mass timber and steel reinforcement nowadays.
> Sometimes, I'm amazed that so many people simply keep their mouth shut even if they totally disagree with their management or project organization!

I don't want to assume your level or length of experience, but I'm not amazed by this at all. Anyone who has worked in one or more mid-to-large-sized organizations for a few years has either been or seen people punished or fired for expressing dissenting opinion to management. Even, sometimes especially, if that dissenting opinion happens to be correct. If you haven't experienced this yourself, consider yourself lucky you haven't found yourself in such an organization; they are the norm rather than the exception.
One nasty implication is that adaptive bandwidth streaming as YouTube and Vimeo provide is tricky to get right. It’s definitely beyond “any other static file.”

It’s a nice feature to allow clients to stream the max bitrate they can handle without buffering. Without this, you sacrifice either quality of those with good connections, or the complete experience of those with poor ones. I ended up struggling with ffmpeg and JPlayer which is never a good day.

Additionally, you need to make sure you use the right codec, something supported on FF, Chrome, and Linux/Mac/Windows/Android/iOS. Due to codec power struggles, this is not self evident.

This has genuinely scared me. As others have mentioned, I'm completely dependant on my Google for so many things. Is there any service out there that can fanout email received to multiple providers like Gmail or Outlook? It's not a great solution but helps with the vendor lock in.

By default, files that you delete, even after emptying the Trash, stick around for 30 days, incase you change your mind.

You can change that behavior if you want or you can delete the files by:

1. Select About this Mac from the Apple menu

2. Click on the Storage tab

3. Click on the Manage… button

4. Click on the Trash icon

You can now delete the files permanently.
Definitely. You vote with your attention, your pageviews, your own voice. And you vote with your vote, as does everyone else who is legal to vote.

Ecuador has been eye-opening for me from a personalized-news perspective. I spent a few months in Ecuador working on a project with an NGO so I have many friends in Quito and a handful in Guayaquil. From the moment the IMF-related austerity measures were announced it was all over my newsfeed and I've been getting "recommend" alerts about the situation from Apple News and Reddit.

I assumed it was a major international story. A few days after the protests started I mentioned them in conversation to a friend at Reuters who only had a vague idea of the situation. I couldn't believe it. He's an international news junkie. Looking at my phone, the protests are (were? hopefully) a major story but looking at his you wouldn't even really know it was happening.
Btw. what usually works is just giving them a phone number, ideally a number that is associated with with one gmail account that is still in good standing.

Which of course completely defeats the "security" of this "security feature", but that's probably not the point of it anyway, they just want your phone number for meta data collection.

Bee colony is just a synonym for bees; bees run the colony, bees build the hive, bees are the hive. No matter how many levels of abstraction you go through it's _always_ bees at the top. If anything happens in the hive, there's _always_ a bee that kickstarted it.

A collection of individuals and/or systems giving raise to a metasystem, a superorganism, does not and can not exercise deliberate control over it: the metasystem lies on a higher level. Not to mention as this thread - in its totality - surely proves, that individuals in many cases are completely unaware of the layer of control above them. What does an individual bee know about the colony?

What is "dangerous bullshit" is wishful thinking. Nation states have been with us for milennia. Corporations for centuries. Have we learned nothing that we still entertain notions of (human) global control?
I suppose having problems with external monitors makes it like Linux, since if you want to support monitor hardware on your immutable headless Linux server instance deployed in the cloud you are doing something wrong.
My hardware does already work for me. Remapping caps lock is a micro-optimisation where as committing keystrokes to muscle memory is not. So the jarring effect I'd experience when switching back to a system that doesn't have caps lock remapped would easily outstrip any benefit I'd receive from it.
> you have to enter every individual digit

That's actually the fastest time input method I've used. Only I need just minutes and seconds, e.g. ‘500’—or hours and minutes in the alarm, like ‘915’. And this app has gigantic buttons for the numbers, and checks on the fly for when a ‘9’ makes no sense so the button is disabled.

I wish devs adopted this method instead of the inane ubiquitous scrolling dial. I need three or four taps on huge buttons which are in muscle memory by now, like with a calculator pad—as opposed to a ridiculous amount of scrolling through the 60 minutes and looking for when the dial lands on the right number.
I remember the few times I had to interact with MacOs to be really frustrating but I don't remember all the specifics, I remember actionable buttons being too small (so easier to miss), and the top bar changing options depending on what app is focused to bother me as well, because thats and extra click (to make the top bar appear) for every interaction there when you have 2 apps side to side. In general from what I know the key functional advantages Windows has are: Software from 15 years ago still works fine without issues, real Linux inside by default (Ubuntu on WLS), videogames.
> and against current best practices, we let her sleep on her stomach.

The thing about "best practices" is they always change. My mom told me that when I was a baby the "best practice" was for a baby to sleep on its stomach -- otherwise it might aspirate vomit. Both approaches are honestly probably equally fine...

NewPipe's free-software-ness is less relevant if it's relying upon OS-supplied APIs to send network requests and nobody has Wiresharked the output of those APIs.

For example, if it's fetching data from YouTube via a WebView, the HTTP requests made to the server will carry all kinds of cookie state and enable all kinds of APIs that can be used to tag a client in a cross-session fashion (though I don't personally know what WebView's state-sharing model is).

Remember, the security model for web sites isn't "app"-based; it's domain-based. Hypothetically, if YouTube were setting a cookie via NewPipe's interactions onto the youtube.com domain that says "Hey this user-agent used NewPipe," then if some other piece of Android (such as the browser) were sharing the same cookie jar, it would vend that cookie back and Google could correlate it to a logged-in user. The question is whether the cookie jar gets reused.

> What parts of Windows do you prefer over MacOS?

I grew up using Windows (since Windows/386) and switched to OSX about ten years ago. For whatever it's worth, I still can't get used to window management or keyboard shortcuts on the Mac. (The Windows key turned into a really nice addition to an already well thought out set of Windows/CUA bindings, while OSX is still caught between its MacOS <10 and NeXTStep heritages.)
Actually, GDPR apply to personal datas and not published content. If you can "anonymize" the content (meaning: taking out the author name and any pseudo-identifiable information) then GDPR won't be a problem.

However, taking out the author name from a content could be seen as a kind of copyright infringement... so the content produced need to be co-copyrighted by the platform
I can't stress this enough: Use FastMail (and pay for it), it's better than GMail and doesn't pull this kind of shit on you. The post is very alarming, but at least you have a better option when it comes to arguably the most important part of Google, your email.

It's super cheap (I prepaid for two years or something and it came out to less than $3/mo), faster than Gmail and won't kill your life.

EDIT: I hear Protonmail is also good, just use one of the two. They're great.
Sounds like you have a good incentive to spin up a domain and start transitioning away from Google.
You're in minority. People are buying into the narrative at large scale.
Actually, they do. Considering how large China is and how powerful their economy is now, ignoring them will mean you are less competitive than the companies who don't. Even if you're a well meaning company, a competitor who doesn't mind China's policies will go there, make a lot more money than you, and buy you out.

The best way forward as a business that must operate in China to stay competitive is to hire lots of Chinese employees and send them to the company's "Western" country of origin in hopes that they'll learn our preference for freedom of expression and privacy and take it back home with them.

I've found that (at least when it comes to lower-end electronics) even brick and mortars appear to have supply chain problems that allow counterfeit items into stores en masse. In the USA, I've encountered things like counterfeit Microsoft mice at Microcenter, and counterfeit Audio Technica earbuds at Fry's Electronics (both confirmed as fakes by the manufacturer). I'm starting to suspect there are other cases of this that I simply haven't noticed.
>do NewPipe's requests carry the phone IMEI?

It doesn't have the required permissions to get IMEI, so no.
Loom is insanely great.
> Things break at random for reasons you can't understand and the only way to fix it is to find terminal commands from discussion forums, type them in and hope for the best.

Depends on whom you ask. There are people who use it exactly because when "things break at random" they absolutely can understand the reasons and actually fix it in contrast to some other OSes (or Linux from more recent years).
> If you really want to break up Google, people are going to have to get used to paying for a ton of other services.

There's upside to this too: it provides business opportunities. I think it's necessary for a healthy well-functioning economy.
Being able to claim requests together with such an easy to use interface is fantastic.

My only real gripe with Paw is that the default save mechanic produces a binary file. If you're providing paw files as documentation in a repo, this makes concurrent branches a pain because there's no ability to merge changes.

So just like Hong Kong, only smaller and with less tear gas? Would seem to undermine your point that the Chinese are "soft by western standards".

There's also a key difference in that crackdowns on G8 protestors are police protecting/facilitating an international summit, and arguably the right of the summit participants to peacefully assemble. By contrast in Hong Kong an authoritarian regime is attempting to suppress human rights through semi-soft force (for the moment), with military forces conspicuously conducting exercises nearby and threats of "Anyone who attempts to split any region from China will perish, with their bodies smashed and bones ground to powder."

You're comparing a foothill to a mountain and calling the mountain smaller.
In fairness, the journey from loading dock to executive suite probably included enough sieving and sanding to produce a fairly precise cultural fit. That is, the loading dock supervisors probably possess more variety than the VPs, but less than the loading dock workers they supervise.

What not-GSuites service do people recommend for hosting one's domain email?
I have to all but disable them (using spacer elements to make most of it blank, disabling per-app buttons so it stays that way all the time) to make them tolerable. Otherwise I brush the bottom edge of it too often, making a variety of undesired shit happen.

So they hiked the prices in order to give me a "feature" I wouldn't care about even if it did work well, and have to effectively disable to be able to use the laptop. Thanks.

If they'd kept prices about the same (the modest spec bump certainly didn't justify such a large increase...) and left off the damn touchbar I'd be on a new one now. Still on my 2014 instead, tempted to drop a few hundred on a fast Dell or Lenovo and stick Linux on it but knowing it'd just piss me off so much I'd return it. Really wish anyone would give them some real competition on their OS.
Something like Gmail should exist.. everyone should have free access to a basic web based email service.

However, it shouldn't be a corporate product. It should be a public service, paid for by the taxes everyone already pays and regulated to ensure privacy abuse and productizing of the user base doesn't happen.

This is how things used to be done - when a new technology became important enough to society, it became part of the national infrastructure, everyone was guaranteed access and no one was allowed to profit off of it. That's how the original telephone network came to be in the US.

Gmail and other private services have been allowed to take the place of something the government should provide so someone can make money off it it, and it's open to abuse and inequity. Some services are important enough that not having them makes you a second class person.

Imagine how you'd feel if the US post office told you that you couldn't receive mail any more because you had an unpaid parking ticket in another city? That's not punishment, that's behavior control. Maybe the parking ticket wasn't fair, or maybe it was someone else with the same name as you, or maybe you had a legal, legitimate reason for parking there.

The US government is required by law to treat people fairly and protect them (to some extent). More importantly, public services are (in theory) controlled by the people they benefit.

Private companies are not, and private companies should not be allowed to provide critical services without regulation to ensure equal treatment for everyone and a means to contest the actions of the company for every user.

The US government is far, far behind where it should be as regards updating laws and services for the computer age. It's time to clean out the dusty, old computer illiterate career politicians and replace them with technically adept younger people.

You should also run your email on your own domain, and make sure the registrar isn't Google nor requires them for logging in.
There's https://www.codeshelter.co/ that can help with co-maintainers, if someone is interested.
Can confirm, I use Fastmail and it is very nice. (Protonmail looks reasonable and popular as well, but I have no direct experience with it.)
Well, if you accept TFA, all it can take is blocking ads that Google really wants to show you.
I don't see how these protests will be successful. I expect they will eventually lose and either fall in line or be replaced.

I can't help but wonder how things would be different if the Hong Kong population was armed like Americans.
But how do you send email from your domain? Last time I looked (a few years ago admittedly) you could set a reply to address but your email still clearly came from your gmail address.
That's incredible. I assumed arrogantly it was mostly inert silica, not phosphorous.

Technically, your users will get a sub-par experience.

Those on 3g will have to wait ages for the video to buffer. Those on an old device won't be able to play it at all if you used new codecs. Users won't be able to select playback quality, and on a slow connection, they'll get endless buffering.

You'll have to come up with your own systems for counting how many people viewed the video and which bits they bailed out on. You'll have to reinvent caption translations and go to extra effort to get captions working at all.

Self hosted videos have mostly died for the above reasons.
