Society at large would get a lot more use out of a course that teaches people to spot the more common statistical paradoxes so they know when they need to call in a Real Statistician.

There are a huge number of hot button debates where it is a pointless and uphill battle talking to anyone who isn't familiar with Simpson's Paradox. Pushing ideas like that out into the broader Arts, etc, communities would do a lot of good. A course leading up to that insight would probably make a good elementary stats course.
It's basically a credit score type of deal that companies use to assess your trustworthiness. Due to some new Californian law, companies that aggregate these scores now have to give you the data on you that they have when you ask them for it.
No you don't, sort of don't. When you look at the Bugout [1] library, you see that they're using the infrastructure of WebTorrent to fix that.

I emailed the author and he said he's working on a form of infrastructure in which the infrastructure takes care of this problem.

So yea, you don't need a signaling server then. I'm pretty sure the extended version of this idea also includes STUN servers. And I think you'd always need to pay for TURN servers as the NAT is then simply disabling P2P all-together [2].

[1] https://github.com/chr15m/bugout

[2] Context for people who are like what are all these terms?

In WebRTC when you have 2 computers behind different corporate networks trying to connect they need to go through a router. A router performs Network Address Translation (NAT), the internal IP (usually 192.168.178.xxx, definitely not always) needs to become the public IP. The problem is that when both networks are too complicated in its structure, then WebRTC cannot work in undoing this layer of translation.

In order to circumvent this, they tunnel your data through a server that has a public facing IP. They call this a Traversal Using Relays around NAT (TURN) server. IMO, you could just see it as an intermediary that shoves data from A to B and vice versa. However, IMO this defeats the point of P2P as you need a 3rd-party helping you to get the data to the other side.

Note: other relevant ideas are signaling servers (i.e. knowing each other's reachable address through an intermediary server)

and STUN servers (a server that tells you your own public facing IP address).
Wow, amazing work !!
Looking at the last section of the article it brushes onto an other war between content delivering infrastructure. The current war for DoH dominance is between google and cloudflare, with chrome and firefox being the bannermen, but a more general perspective is that DNS data is becoming a war between CDN's.

Later in the wars I would expect ISP to once again regain their access to DNS data if DoH became default. CDN's must cooperate with ISP in order to be a content delivery network. It is very hard to operate an anycast network with server located near the edges without close relation with the operators of those edges. Most times the DoH server is going to sit at the ISP server hall, next to the ISP own resolver. In some places it can be the same physical machine and just separated by software. The border is not going to be very bright between the sovereign domain of the CDN and the ISP.
I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by these. A lot of these "information is beautiful" things used to put the emphasis more on beauty, even at the expense of not being informative.

These seem to be a good balance of both information and beauty.

I redesigned the exim.org site about 10 years ago (I know it's not very pretty, but you should have seen the previous version). Anyway, the site is entirely static, and they wanted to keep it that way, and they also had a system for generating documentation at build time into a docbook file.

I wrote a perl script which converted their docbook into html by applying XSLT to it. Worked pretty well. They just run a script to generate the new version of the website each time they do a release.

Protectionism works quite contrary, so you do not support it anyway :)
DocBook is originally an SGML-based vocabulary (I believe DocBook 5 is XML only, with only marginal changes from DocBook 4), so you can always use SGML short references to create your own own little custom Wiki or casual math syntax. Or you can use pandoc to write markdown syntax and convert to DocBook or PDF or whatever. I guess DocBook is mostly for whole books, but the one conference paper I did using DocBook was a pleasant experience; the workflow and results, apart from the PDF produced by LaTex which of course was fantastic-looking, were much better than using LaTeX, publisher-specific LaTeX templates, and in particular latex2html if you want to publish your paper on your home page. Even when using LaTeX for an ACM-published paper (not a math-heavy one, though), I ended up using pandoc for converting LaTeX to HTML because the result of latex2html was unusable, attempting to exactly match two-column layouts, screwing up semantic text order, biblio formatting etc.

A couple of thoughts:

1. Apple's 'job' is to do what it needs to do to ensure that its business prospers. If the housing 'crisis' in the Bay area is a risk to how it wants to conduct its business, isn't it reasonable that it invests to mitigate that risk? (This is barely different to Apple making large investments in manufacturers, to support them in turn being able to supply what Apple needs to buy from them.)

2. From what I read and see when I visit SF, and also more broadly in the US, the government (be that national, state, or city?) is doing a pretty poor job of tackling housing-related issues - from affordability to homelessness. Can you directly attribute this widespread failure to a lack of funding, due to insufficient taxation of Apple and others?

3. Isn't $2.5bn (+/- new approaches?) to try to combat these issues better than $0, irrespective of where it comes from?
It's Apple watching out for users.

What are you talking about?

It was the Californian governing body that isn't allowing developers to build new cheap homes and apartments, because of NIMBY.

And at the same time, everyone is talking about the evil tech giants, so they are trying to look good. If they would just be left alone, they might spend their resources on - oh, I dont know - making cheaper and better phones so that more people around them world could afford them?

I thought Tex could be used to publish to pretty much anything that's in use out there? HTML should certainly be easier than PDF.
Second, the main reason for high valuations in modern art is because the artists were well-connected and got to their ideas first.

I think this is what gets under my skin. I don't really have a problem with the artists, anybody who is able to fleece a few million from the super rich is doing a public service as far as I'm concerned.

It's the people in the galleries, auction houses and general art world that get up my nose. The ones that tell you you are a philistine because you can't appreciate a somewhat random splattering of paint or an unmade bed. We already have empirical evidence[1] that wine snobs don't know what they are talking about, perhaps we should try and find the same for art snobs.

Can I just list my favorite non-technical books here?

Richard Feynman, What Do You Care What Other People Think? - Probably no additional description needed. It's a kind of sequel of Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! but has a more personal touch.

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry - Night Flight. A somewhat romanticized tale about the early era of air mail delivery. The story about the personal sacrifice for public good.

Tove Jansson - Moominvalley in November. It's disguised as a kid's story, but from what I read the book is about loss and absence of loved ones. Funny, soothing and surprisingly profound.
My best guess is Skype was much more profitable than MSN. But Microsoft took the best features of Skype and removed them and the quality got diminished probably in order to monkeypatch Lync into Skype as well as MSN at the time.

After like 2013 I never used Skype again. Now everyone I know either uses Discord or Slack. Teams was at least the right direction for business focus but it seems they shoulda QAd it much more. I dont hear much positive about Teams.
The problem is that flakey software on their platform, that breaks on OS updates and bug fixes annoys users, and thus also hits Apple's bottom line.

If prices are too high, then supply must be increased and/or demand decreased.

If prices are too low, then supply must be decreased, and/or demand increased.

Any other attempt at manipulating prices will result in distorting the market and price obfuscation will lead to a suboptimal allocation of resources (usually to the benefit of sellers).

For examples of problems with manipulating prices outside of supply/demand, see higher education costs, home costs, taxi medallions, and traffic jams.

Pretty much every "alternative" medical procedure or product for the gullible has one serious side effect: the potential for abandoning medicine that actually and empirically has an effect superior to placebos.

Prominent example, to make it a bit more real: Steve Jobs had a cancer with an excellent prognosis on real medicine but chose to handle it with... fruit juice, I think. Steve Jobs is now dead.

Oncologists write bitter and angry testimonials about patients they weren't able to save because those patients turned away from effective medicine. It's even more infuriating when ignorant parents make these decisions for their children.

Cloudflare killed "ANY?" because it was a significant vector in DNS amplification attacks.

Ironically enough, avoiding the "expensive" query type resulted in potentially doubling the amount of DNS traffic from a typical dual-stack client ("A?" + "AAAA?" instead of single "ANY?")

Yes, it certainly is a good decision. For example, if we had no protections like customs China would easily subsidize any market they wish to gain monopoly of the market in question.

This is happening even WITH protectionism like customs and tolls. Chinas government subsidize stuff like steel production which makes it hard for companies like SSAB in Sweden to compete with them since they sell their steel cheaper than the cost to produce it.

How shall countries protect themselves from countries that act like that without protecting their market? It's extremely naive to think that countries that are rough dictatorships will play fair and nice.

EU should have A LOT higher customs against countries like China. Trading with them on a fair level gives them too much economic control which is good for us in the short term but incredibly bad in the long term.

That is why south park can make an episode like "Band in China" today because we have already given them a lot of control.
Oh, I misread, haha. Thanks for pointing it out.

To be fair they actually have beaten their wife into the hospital several times metaphorically - so it stops being a leading question so much as one which acknowledges the obvious.

Those who aren't outright dissidents seem to have an exceptionalism complex where Chinese X is different so no criticism can apply - combined with Not Invented Here syndrome. From what I have heard from those through VPN tunnels they are accutely aware that they aren't anything special.
You can't "get rid" of capitalism without involving some sort of central planning. If anything, the original proponents of socialism including Marx never supposed that capitalism would be something to "get rid of" in any way; they thought socialism would only become viable when capitalism had reached its highest stage of development, and then the "transition" into socialism would be relatively natural and painless.

"Workers self-managing" industries works really well if the industries have low capital intensity. Law firms might be one example of that. Not so much otherwise, because workers at any one firm don't really want to deal with highly-uncertain capital investments in the first place (that would mean keeping all their eggs in one basket!); they'd much rather shed that risk to outsiders.
Not anti intellectualism, simple fact. Look at the history of education, then the later opening up of universities.

Originally it was something more - to train the elite to be the elite that runs everyone's lives - i.e. run the world, get the attitude and to think. Philosophy is still a common choice here. Then wider education - and later university expansion was built on a different skill set, a different education for filling the factories. A worker, a (suitably compliant) citizen. Just about no one at all goes near philosophy.

Same name of "education", two entirely different results. Politicians have occasionally aspired to equalise those two regimes, or aspire to something a little higher, but rarely has that played out, and has never lasted.
This article is a little dated but I found the conclusion in German distrust of cashless payments interesting.

From https://www.economist.com/finance-and-economics/2016/08/11/e...

Culture plays a role, too. Digitally sophisticated Scandinavians may be comfortable buying groceries on their smartphones but a deep-rooted aversion to being tracked—a scar left by the Stasi—lies behind German distrust. A recent survey by PWC revealed that two in five Germans don’t use mobile payments because of concerns about data security (and nearly nine in ten worry about it). When the German finance ministry recently proposed capping cash payments at €5,000, as in some other countries, Bild, a daily newspaper, organised a reader protest.

Isn't Berlin quite different to other parts of Germany? When I was in Munich last year they seemed to have a more progressive view.

I could see a business argument for a CDN to provide a free VPN for the browser, just like cloudflare is doing with DoH. If everyone is connecting to their server first, and keeps the connection alive, then websites hosted at them will gain a small performance boost. The CDN would also gain massive relative speed, as accessing services outside of the CDN would be comparable slower.

I run a b2b saas. We have clients who pay anywhere from 6k-15k per year on credit cards on average. We do have option to send a physical check or manual invoice/wire but has never been an issue.

I'm yet to try it, so pardon my question.

Does it generate a tailwindconfig.js that I can replace in any tailwind project?

A good friend introduced me to Tailwind about a year back but I was not sure where to fit in. I've been wary of rolling out a totally new custom framework from scratch but also do not want to wander anywhere near the paths that can lead to a Bootstrap-esque framework.

About a month back, I decided to try out TailwindCSS myself before deciding the fate of the next 5+ years of front-end styling of a big-enough company. I was totally amazed with what it can do. So, my thumb rule was TailwindCSS + something to purge the un-used styles. I can even expose the TailwindConfig to other apps (React, Custom, etc) so they can just pick up the 'Styleguide' and start off in whatever they are writing.

The best part I realized that I can optionally drop Sass if I want and stick with just plain CSS/CSS4 + Tailwind and let PostCSS handle the processing.
The issue is that the 2.5 billion dollars are not given to the public to spend. It's just Apple using it's stupid amount of capital to do bank-like things as far as I can see. From where I'm sitting, they'll still have to deal with the existing home-owners and speculators who want to maintain the value of their assets. I don't think waterhosing them with money will necessarily help.
