> Really annoying they continue to do this, especially given they charge excessive markup on memory upgrades

This is exactly why they solder it on - so they can charge those prices. They've created a monopoly on hardware upgrades and repairs for their machines. This is why a lot of people refuse to buy Apple laptops these days.

Kind of. AI/ML systems are supposed to learn things from the data they are fed to accomplish some sort of more generalizable goal or task. Echoing the biases they're fed is probably more akin to overfitting to their training data.

I guess that a big amount of time and energy is used to bicker about money and legalities, instead of improving the GUI and UX. However, this may simply be the price for something new.. the net had twenty years to decide on micropayments, and now its ad-infestation and surveillance capitalism instead. So, the GUI whining is not convincing here...
Here's an idea. Go help them make it better. Fixing our broken ass network and the (bad) incentives that keep is afloat is one tough job. We need all the help we can get!

Funny you say, new Macbook Pro has hardware escape button.

After a year, I became very accustomed to touchbar, and use it more than I used F keys. Experience may vary, though.
You'd think that by walking in or calling you could get the price around 10% below booking.com or Agoda, but it's almost never the case from my experience booking budget accommodation in Europe & Asia. Most of time they offer standard rate which is _higher_ than what you'd find on OTA.
I've also been using it since about March, and been generally happy with it. It's faster than Chrome, and the built-in adblock is great, and the easy incognito/TOR modes are handy. That's basically all I want out of it - it's got all the other nifty Chrome goodies that I use (devtools etc.), the only Chrome extension I used regularly was Adblock, I don't use a whole lot of other power-user features. I've had some stability issues (it crashes about once every 2-3 days), but that could be because I'm running several versions behind. Looking forwards to trying 1.0.
You can certainly present the same price of the good to every user, while also automatically calculating the cost to ship to their postal code--if they specify it, or the postal code most likely for their IP address if not. Then apply a "combined shipping discount" calculation when they go to view the contents of their shopping cart, for everything that can fit in a single box shipped from a single warehouse.

Then allow the user to sort on base retail price or price plus shipping, as they prefer.

Being transparent about goods versus shipping makes the customer feel better about not getting manipulated and/or ripped off.
True, but only if you trust all your services equally, or restrict each host to a single one.

Otherwise you lose a security boundary.

Hard to say. Companies can have them, but I doubt there are 22m. Families can have them and cover multiple people at once. Germany's population is only 82m, so 22m just sounds like a lot to me.

Value depends on the user, and the ones that benefit from the arrangement imho. Counter offer with something lower? Make sure contracts are signed when an agreement is made.
No. For our circadian rhythm, it's more important that the sun rises early enough in the morning. The moment when it sets has less impact.

Human society has historically been active after dark for social activities, like sitting around camp fires etc. Not so much early in the morning before the dark ends. We should adapt to what is natural for us humans, which is getting up around sunrise and possibly staying up after sunset. "Daylight Saving Time" is a move in the wrong direction. Let's at least stick to standard time.

Thanks for the substantive discussion!

> May I have a specific example?

I can't without giving out too much detail. I shouldn't have stated that without being able to provide substance, sorry.

> It is not disrespectful for the employer to celebrate other employees who are homosexual. Am I misunderstanding?

I think we're getting close to the fundamental issue here. Let me unpack my logic a bit:

1) Celebrating behavior X implies that X is in some way virtuous.

2) To claim that X is virtuous, is to claim that any belief system S which states X is not virtuous is in error.

So I see the current discussion as having the structure shown above, with:

X = partaking in a homosexual relationship, and

S = the theologies of various Christian, Muslim, and Jewish sects.

So in short, it seems to me that employers are logically implying that certain employees have false religious beliefs, but the employers are hiding behind the fact that the their implication isn't clearly stated.

I think that's inconsistent with the employers' claims to respect employees' religious views.
I think our definitions of cheap are a little ways apart.
There were a number of things in the Google employment agreement that my attorney suggested were either unenforceable for legal reasons or overly broad, he also pointed out that companies generally don't retain people who sue them (the contract is employment 'at will'). His advice was that if you didn't like it, just quit. That is the low cost way of getting out from under the contract that left little ill will behind. Suing was messy and follows one around to future job interviews.

Good luck with that. The best product you'll come up with is some sort of snake oil. The whole point of GANs is that you can't really "detect" the synthesized components anymore. Not that this would/will stop people from claiming otherwise in the spirit of profitablity :-)
I know advertising covers a need, there's nothing inherently wrong with advertising in an academic sense.

News organisations do not offer anything of consistent high quality that people are willing to pay for though. I have no faith that quality will improve if only we all switched off our adblockers and clicked some ads. People's propensity to read clickbait will not decline as a result of higher revenue from advertising. Most people aren't willing to pay for news because most news is worthless.

> what will news articles become? ads

This has already been the case for a while. I hope ad-blockers push them so far from legitimacy that they actually die off somewhat. When they had ad revenue bottom of the barrel "news" could survive regardless of the market not wanting to give them any money directly.
I'd be interested in also reading about an experiment in buying a diamond. How much of a discount could you get on a certified, ~1ct Tiffany ring?

Part of me would be very interested in hearing about the result, along with variations on it (For instance, I know I've made this very restrictive, specifying the brand, which greatly limits the options).

Another part of me think this would just provide more proof of something we all know: that the market for diamonds, the entire thing, is so utterly bizarre, and yet it has such a grip on the US and a few other places, it's so odd. The results of the experiment I just described, well, it would probably just confirm "yep, this makes no sense".

One big challenge, I'd guess, is ensuring that you bought what you believe you bought (is it really a ~1ct Tiffany diamond)... but then again, that also just underscores the absurdity of what you've done, that it is extremely difficult to tell if you actually got what you intended to buy, when there's as much as a 100x difference in price. So again, back to "yep, makes no sense"
I was thinking the same. I considered Vivaldi for some time but it was just buggy. That's a shame because now that Chrome is going to release manifest v3, many users will look for alternatives. Vivaldi has had years to polish their UI but they have missed the train. Eventually I'll settle with Brave, I think.
That's a good point. If the attacker changes configuration or drops binaries, they make noise instead of living off the land care free, which make them easier to detect. I see.

Again, an apolitical office does not entail unquestioned obedience - the notion that it does is your own fabrication.

I've worked in apolitical offices before, and people do feel comfortable to question business decision and technical choices. In fact, I'd say people were more comfortable in questioning those decisions than in political offices, because in political offices people are loath to be perceived as political enemies.
These mostly seem like very specific power user concerns that wouldn't be relevant to most users.

(not advocating for Brave, I'm a happy Firefox user. Just saying...)
You don't have a right to show ads to users. (The CFAA actually works in consumers' favor here: circumventing a user's adblocker is just as much of a crime as hacking into a server.) You do have a right to refuse service to users with adblockers, but to my knowledge Brave doesn't interfere with sites that do this - I still can't get past the paywalls on WSJ/NYTimes/Bloomberg.

Natural diamonds, yes. But fabricated ones do not have to be.
I still get misty when I think about how easy it was to use QBasic and it's IDE to throw stuff together and get graphics and sound going. I moved on to C++ and Java, and the overhead of trying to take that next step was steep.

In QBasic, if you wanted to draw a circle, you wrote SCREEN 1; CIRCLE (100,100), 10 and then hit F5.

Trying to do the same thing in C++ had me poring through offline Win32 API .chms for days to understand event loops, windowing, brushes, bitmaps, and memory management, then fighting with linkers and header paths to get it to actually compile.

My dad has a property in Maine, likewise just a few miles from the nearest small (~10,000 population) city. He's the last house on a dirt road that can still get ~1Mbit DSL and cell reception is really marginal too. And that's barely rural by Maine standards.
You have made a statement about your values. However there is no scientific reasons to make on set better than another. Thus we will never get agreement.
Unfortunately, the only reasoning I can see that "a union for programmers is a terrible idea" is that you "don't want to read newsletters or listen to speeches or be involved at all in the grubby etc".

A unionized workplace doesn't mean you 1) need to join the union (closed shops are illegal in the US) or 2) be involved in the "grubby underhanded maneuvering for power" -- in a pragmatic sense because you can't be compelled to join a union, but more importantly because that is not what union activity is.

What I would find far more convincing is an explanation of how a workplace like Google would be worse if it were a union shop. Lower pay? Nope, union shops consistently draw larger salaries for their workers. Less workplace safety? Nope, union shops consistently have fewer injuries than non-union shops. Fixed salary schedule? Nope, a technical union could easily be structured like SAG -- e.g. Tom Cruise doesn't have a salary cap. Can't fire a bad apple? That seems like a bad idea until someone decides you're the bad apple.

I bet that Damore guy would've appreciated having a union rep sitting at the table with him in those HR meetings where they were going over his blog posts or whatever.

Whoever uses Brave for "privacy" reasons should understand that Chrome offers more privacy due to fingerprintability.

I see the downvotes coming yet it is true check it for yourself. Brave is so easy to fingerprint compared to Chrome it defeats any purpose ever to use Brave in the first place if privacy is your main goal. Removing all the Google bits from the Chromium base doesn't help since you are so fingerprintable.
I think this largely ignores "how" ads are distributed. The website you are looking at did not select _any_ of the ads you see. They chose a network who is delegating that placement to someone else. Depending on which ad network, this could delegated by several different ad networks until an advertiser is finally selected by the final intermediary.

In principle this may not be a very important distinction. However, I often think that I would stop blocking ads _IF_ the website I was looking at had actually vetted the ad I was seeing. I do not want to see so much garbage just for visiting a website. For example: I block all ads from theverge.com, not because their content is bad, but because I find the outbrain ads at the bottom of the page so asinine and tasteless that I'd rather not see any ads.

To continue on with theverge example, If they actually had selected the individual ads they were placing, I'd be totally fine with that. But I am not fine with them delegating that responsibility to another company that clearly is not up to handling the task.

And the deeply unethical behavior would continue to happen.

You have to make a compromise here. As an individual you don't have much power to stop those unethical behaviors, and as a group you do.

>You want the control without the risk and, sorry, but you don't get to do that.

No, you can have this. By collectivizing.
Let me confirm this, except more so.

Will and Reini have effectively been cut out of the main line perl community for repeatedly being assholes to anybody who dared to disagree with them about anything (and I mean being assholes by my standards, which I hope at least some readers will recognise as a rather high bar to clear).

When the website was first created there was a ripple across the social media presences of assorted significant perl/cpan people, myself included, decrying it, though it's non trivial to search for because most of us deliberately didn't include the URL to avoid signal boosting its existence any more than strictly necessary.

The general consensus among my fellow cpan authors (including core team members of some of the most widely used projects) is basically a superposition of

1) "Oh for fuck's sake, not them again"

and

2) "The only way this could've been more tone deaf and counter productive is if instead of a 'master plan' they'd called it a 'final solution'"

There's lots of things happening of late that I'm very optimistic about. This shit is basically the Tulsi Gabbard of perl futures. I respect the right of the authors to hold their opinions, but I respect nothing about said opinions and would encourage everybody else not to feed the trolls.

Info is great for people who live and breathe Emacs, and terrible for non-Emacs users who are just trying to figure out how to get something done. If it's been a while since you last used it, you probably have to refresh yourself on the navigation commands, and the really useful features (the index[1] and incremental search[2]) are buried in different sub-nodes of the Info info manual.

As sibling commenters have mentioned, the Info tooling and format encourages people to split up their content into a bunch of nodes. In my experience, ~80% of Info manuals would be better if they were just concatenated into a single node, which the user could quickly Ctrl-F through with the tool of their choice.

> This is really underselling the simple fact that our federal dollars still heavily subsidize suburban development at the expense of urban amenities and development patterns.

This is simply not true. Secondly, the restrictions around urban development are self-imposed at either the State or Local level. SF, NYC, Chicago, etc. have zoning and development restrictions that Houston, Atlanta, Austin do not.

Astute observers may determine for themselves why that is, but this is not a federal or subsidy issue. (Just how much has the CA never-to-be-completed train cost again?...)
