They could measure the size of the JS payload, and subtract that from the size of the web page, before adding that number to the number of bytes used in a billing period. That way they could "more-fairly" measure bandwidth usage even with their MITM "value-add" and "informative" content.

Though, seriously, I have a hard time understanding the reasoning for data caps on DOCSIS infrastructure. On LTE, yes. WISP, yeah - kinda. DOCSIS, DSL and GPON? Absolutely no!

Not to mention the horrifying realization of most uninformed people that their ISP can and will intercept, log, modify or restrict access to content that the user has requested, even though the user has the right to such content, having paid the monthly subscription fee for the connection. But hey, I don't work at a large cable ISP, I couldn't possibly understand their reasoning and advanced calculations. /s
Right, but the author made his intentions and wishes clear, and I feel like publicly drawing attention to him in this manner disrespects those intentions and wishes.
Sometimes is far from always, most people are not too excited about their job but they still wake up every morning to work. Most of them don't do extraordinary things, they do mundane and boring things which must be done to sustain the human race. They definitely do it for the money and no other reason. The few who make their hobby their main pursuit are few and far between and many time this hobby turns into their job.

And we collectively allow this behavior. Do we not?

For example, I don't see anyone stepping up in that github thread and saying that insults and middle finger emojis are not OK. That's because that behavior is normalized. Participants in the thread either a) are OK with it; b) have resigned themselves to it; c) are refraining from speaking up for fear of being attacked too. That is what I mean by "allowed to happen".
I have first-hand knowledge about how Comcast's content injection happens. (they'd prefer to call it "User Messaging") I'm sure you'll find the same ability from several ISPs because they all purchased a network appliance that does the content injection.

One question people are asking here: does it work over HTTPS. No it does't work over HTTPS, but if the page requests content via HTTP it is possible.

Interestingly enough, the technique is very similar to what Edward Snowden revealed as Quantum Insert, where HTTP requests monitored by the ISP and are intercepted and another web server (the network appliance in question) is able to respond more quickly. It starts with a very fast response that leads to a 302 redirect. The network appliance will then serve up a modified version of a file (usually a JS asset). The injected JS will then query the network appliance for "messages" and show them if the user is "eligible" to receive them.

No debt besides student loans is truly undischargeable. Historically it seems like it was pretty easy to avoid paying, for better or wose; unfortunately, now judges are more likely to set up unreasonable payment plans and to hold people in contempt for being unable to meet those plans.

That this has not received more attention is troubling -- debtors prisons are illegal, and this is de facto creating a debtors prison. And that is often the only legal test required. That no one who can change the situation cares is indicative of societal rot.

This assumes all participation is equal. This is not the case. It’s GitLab’s sandbox, their rules (including not being crass if desired).

Making candidates white board is basically an ego driven hazing process, "we had to do this stupid exercise, so you have to as well! Ha ha!"

It also gives people a bad taste in their mouth, don't ever forget the candidate is interviewing the company as well.

The best response is to immediately walk up and leave when asked to white board something, stating something to the effect of "sorry but if this is your company culture, I'm not a good fit". I know several people who have done this and were hired anyway.

Look at a candidates successes and body of work, if their competency isn't obvious from what they have demonstrably accomplished, they probably aren't the right candidate. No amount of white boarding (or the nonsensical "thought exercise" questions) is going to change that.
Are you claiming the Fed caused the wars?

Do you care to contrast your implications to periods without the Fed? How many depressions? How many wars?

The Great Depression showed pretty conclusively the folly of a non-fiat currency, since the Fed was still tied by the gold standard, as were many other countries. The distinction between length of depression with and without fiat money was the nail in the coffin for things like gold standards. The results of modern monetary policy during the Great Depression is what led to every single country in the world dropping the gold standard.

Evidence beats speculation in the long run every time.
I think you, I, and even Bezos would agree that he doesn't need 100 billion. Which is why he doesn't have anywhere near 100 billion dollars. He has ownership stakes in companies that have been estimated to be worth 100 billion dollars (it would be impossible to liquidate for anywhere near that valuation in practice, however)

Net worth is not the same as resource allocation. This isn't the 1500s where you could plunder a castle and pillage their stores of grain. Bezo's net worth has very little to do with the distribution of housing, food, and medical care to poor people.

Does he consume more housing, food, and medical care than average? Absolutely. Are his consumption levels even remotely similar to his absurd net worth? Absolutely not.
Seriously? Instead of solving the problem the whole government of California is just ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . I know PG&E needs to be punished but the people of California need to stand up for their rights and see that instead of wasting loads of cash on pork projects they clean up the areas around electrical wiring instead of just "de-energizing" , it's all quite ridiculous. California is not supposed to be a 3rd world country and just shrug.
Also, the cap is still 1 TB even if you're paying them $127/mo for the 1000 Mbps service, so you may as well just consider that +$50 an extra hidden fee for anything over 250 or 500 Mbps, assuming you're actually using it.

Is the phone worth more than the sleeping bag? Depends on the temperature. But, yes for the most part the phone is helpful. I would guess a lot get sold, but in those cases they are typically going to someone that does actually want it. Let’s be honest, a Samsung whatever 5 isn’t going to be traded for a 5th of whiskey and sold eventually to some highschooler, they wouldn’t be caught dead with that phone.

People have this impression that homeless are all 60-80 year old bums harassing you for change, there are a lot that have jobs, live in their cars, and could really use a phone, even with their families, or live in other people’s houses. The invisible homeless.

The culture is really different, and frankly, it's not a clear cut 'this is simply better' thing. China had trouble expanding their domestic market because people just save the money they earned instead of spending it on things.
There is a throughput issue. Driverless cars with 4 people a car in a lane (or a bus lane) will do ~6000/people/hour if you are optimistic. A train 'lane' will on the other hand will do 32'000/people/hour. Non-bus lanes do 1500/hour, so a train is equivalent to a 21 lane highway, one way. [0]

I think driverless cars are a great adapter / collector last mile technology for suburbs to go to the train station, but if somewhere has traffic problems now, it will have traffic problems with driverless cars too. After a certain point you need to put in trains.

>How is there no way on ios to just see a list of all the apps I have installed?

The default way apps are installed is into a giant list of all the apps you have installed. If they're in folders, its because you put them there manually.

>apps not designed for tablets

These kinds of apps aren't super common, but just scaling is probably the best way to handle it. An iPhone and an iPad have different screen ratios and stretching it to fit 100% would skew the aspect ratio.
Do you think, or, is there any hint that, camera manufacturers are developing this kind of thing?

I was pleasantly surprised when Samsung backported their "night" mode to my S9+. I was even more pleasantly surprised when I saw how much of an improvement it made in low light conditions.

If anything, it ensured my next phone would be a Samsung again (and it was, I went Note 10), so I think it's still a good upselling move to do so.

On that note, how far they've come since the Note 4 terrible TERRIBLE result in low light, that phone was top notch for its time but in low light it took several seconds for a single shot, focus sucked, grainy as hell ... Seeing a 9/10th gen phone instantly take those shots, with almost no grain and a lot of back details properly lighted is very impressive to me. I understand how it works in theory, but there is still a "wow I can't believe my phone pulls that off" factor for me.

"At this point I don't understand why anyone in their right mind would go to the trouble of making their product open-source. It's just not worth it."

Umm...that's their business model. It's not an act of generosity. It was a decision that they thought was in their best interest.

If you are participant of the Gitlab community, you could speak up in that thread and say that you are not OK with people being insulted over a disagreement. I won't fault you for not wanting to, though. You would probably be attacked too, and have to spend a few hours of your life justifying yourself.
I mean, you bought the phone with a particular version of software. They don't charge you for some significant upgrades and security updates - but it seems fair to me that the features which require huge R&D costs would require a new purchase.
A different framing of this is that politics is, more and more, intruding into science.

Paul Romer:

> Politics does not lead to a broadly shared consensus. It has to yield a decision whether or not a consensus prevails. As a result, political institutions create incentives for participants to exaggerate disagreements between factions. Words that are evocative and ambiguous better serve factional interests than words that are analytical and precise.

> Science is a process that does lead to a broadly shared consensus. It is arguably the only social process that does. Consensus forms around theoretical and empirical statements that are true. In making these statements, a combination of words from natural language and tightly linked symbols from the formal language of mathematics encourages the use of words that are analytical and precise.

One thing this misses in the "dictionary" example is that tools (like xpath) push you towards "key in attribute" selection. One of the most common operations we do with dictionaries is lookup by known key, and storing the key in attributes makes it much easier.
Gitlab is well within the right to ban rude remarks on their platform, but that isn't the same as regulating the open source community as a whole, which they have neither the right nor ability to do.
Aaah, thanks! This is what I had in mind. Though I misjudged the time frame: 10000 Mark in 1921 is in the ball park of 2000 US$ today; that is, if he got lucky, since the German hyperinflation in the 20s quickly made that money essentially worthless.

The suburb (outside of Seattle city limits) that I live in is a suburban area, density is easily high enough.

My choices are Comcast (up to 1gbit down / 30 mbit up IIRC) or rotting exposed copper POTS (from Clink?) that has VDSL at something around 10mbit down / 1 mbit up.

Thus, I have only one choice of broadband provider and due to lack of competition as well as lack of regulation, no broadband providers that offer unlimited service* (technically Comcast will happily charge me 600 extra dollars a year for no increased speed but no caps; however they shouldn't even bother with caps on their highest tier packages).

The dataset is a bunch of SQLite files, so shouldn't be too tricky to interrogate.

You can get a subset (static.echonest.com/millionsongsubset_full.tar.gz), which is 1.8Gb compressed. The full dataset is 280Gb, and AFAICT, this does not contain the full audio.

There's a script on GitHub from like 8 years ago that apparently can get you the audio (but I would be super-impressed if that actually still works).

Well when you do your PhD in particle physics it's just sort of accepted.

And I think it's tough on a lot of people: many people in the experiment feel that they should read every paper, because they feel personally accountable to it. They feel they should insist on changes because otherwise it will reflect badly on them.

To me that's an enormous amount of work and gets in the way of the really interesting science. Within the field everyone knows that I'm not directly accountable for a paper just because my name is on it. Most work is done by small teams of less than 20 people (sometimes just one or two) so it would be absurd to ask me to fully understand, much less feel accountable for, 95% of what comes out.

Personally I'd love an opt-out option. I don't think my colleagues should feel burdened by any weight that my name adds. Beyond that it's a convenience thing: I was updating my CV and thinking "if only there was some automated system to keep track of the papers I contributed to...". Incidentally, we have such a system, but it's only visible within the collaboration.

There's a lot more appetite these days for enforcing requirements on CAs, ever since CT started going down the road towards mandatory, and ever since misbehaving CAs started getting forced to implement it immediately. Intentionally MITMing TLS on the broader Internet the way this thread is talking about would be a fairly quick death sentence.

Also, given the existence of Let's Encrypt, there's much less reason to be using a paid CA, and planned migration to a new CA provider isn't too much to ask. There'd likely be some work within browsers to provide clear error messages, and sites would need some amount of time to migrate, but I think we're talking days-to-weeks before there's a warning banner on the sites and months at most before the CA is dead.
I do this but clarify what the interview process is like as a first step to communicating with a company. As soon as they state this as their intention I tell them I'm not interested. I've been hired at places anyways. My personal opinion is that I have enough projects, years of experience getting a paycheck each week and GitHub/Stack Overflow contributions to verify I at least have a grasp of what it takes to be a web programmer. I refuse the white board exercises outright. I won't do large homework assignments either.
I'm assuming the person involved knows of such micro loans and hasn't fully considered the costs and benefits that went into making them. I've covered for others before knowing I wouldn't get fully reimbursed because maintaining the relationship is worth the few dollars I lose a few times a year. Interest free unsecured micro loans which often aren't even paid back in full.

But I wouldn't scale this up. I would lose more money and wouldn't be benefiting any existing relationships by doing so. The social benefit of the few dollars lost does not scale, and thus the reasoning behind existing unsecured microloans to friends does not scale.
Halide is available for older iPhones. If I remember correctly, any iPhone running iOS 11 or newer can run Halide. However Deep Fusion related stuff is limited to the iPhone 11, and there are a few other features that similarly require certain iPhone models.

FWIW, the lane keep assist in the Toyotas is still pretty rough. I test drove the 2019 RAV-4 Hybrid a couple times, and it is unusable in the right lane (it will steer you into an exit barrier, trying to keep you centered between your left lane marker and the diverging exit lane marker). Even in a center/left lane, it still ping-pongs around more than I'd like. That is to say, I could imagine getting pulled over on suspicion of drunken driving, and sheepishly saying "I'm sober, I'm just using the LKAS, which performs roughly as well as a drunk".
