It seems like something many wealthy people will opt out of by living in communities that are organized around an interest in avoiding it/disallowing it.

I’m imagining planned communities that have much higher privacy standards even in their public spaces like shops and parks.
All first world countries and many others with developed financial systems put laws in-place on their financial institutions (like banks) and all money transmitters. They are required to get specific licenses and one of the key parts of these various licenses is "Knowing Your Customer". The intent is to prevent money laundering. Essentially, governments regulate these financial institutions and require them to know who exactly they are dealing with (sometimes there is a minimum amount that is interesting for them, other governments require it for everyone regardless of value).

Companies do not act according to their morals: they act according to their incentives. And there is an incentive to sell more iCloud storage if SSDs are hard to swap.
Podman is great! It plays much nicer with the rest of my system and doesn’t require root for things that shouldn’t require root! Additionally (afaik, I don’t really use kubernetes) it maps better into kubernetes models of things with pods and kube.yml etc.
I hope the Piql polyester film material is good at binding flint knapped stones to spear shafts. Could be an agile pivot for descendants in a thousand years.

Yeah, I don't put any eggs in that basket, as nice as GitHub is. When you need permission to exist on a platform, and they have no obligations to you, gotta be ready to lose it.

You're absolutely right that they aren't a feasible option for long-tail sites (as you mention, most of the time you won't even get approved). However, long-tail sites don't monetize poorly because Google is screwing them. Long-tail sites monetize poorly because because the value of the content on long-tail sites isn't worth the Trust & Safety overhead for anyone except for Google.
Meanwhile, my wife and I have not even worn rings for years, and no plan on the table to get new ones. Initially it was caused because we went through a very rough patch and we both were giving up on the marriage. But that turned around, and now years later the work we've done in our marriage stands on its own, and the rings are only a reminder of the shredded remains of the old marriage. So we don't wear them.
Brave's business reminds me of Adblock+. They started all "we are cool, we make the web a better place" (which they did by the way), then they didn't know how to monetize, so they introduced "non invasive ads". Which is still ads, except this time, it's up to them to choose how ads should look like.

It's the first time I read more about Brave, and despite the fact I like that they try with a new model, I think I'll keep using Firefox and the usual add-ons, as I have been doing for years.
One of my local bars has a really chill Tuesday happy hour. I've been loving going there to grab a drink and read a book and be gently surrounded by people. It's fantastic.
I’m confused about your issues...

The current shell in macOS is zSh and the Mac wrote the book on window management (other than the windows snapping ideas, which, fair, but it is just one app. On the other hand, macOS is like a wonderful land between windows and Linux with ease of use plus all the power features.
As currently the only person doing data science things for the team, I’ll test to make sure changes I make to model/feature engineering/etc result in a better model. We’re not constantly, constantly retraining our models, because our incoming data and behaves the same. We’ve had the same model in prod for 4 months now; we don’t have any pressing issues with its predictions, and looking through the logs of what the input was the the output, it’s still performing as expected, so we’ll probably leave it longer.
>> New York city has been home to organized crime in the form of the mafia and gangs, boasted a huge murder rate in the middle of the 20th century, and is the frequent target of terror threats (literally the stated target of terror groups in their own words).

The FBI was responsible for taking care of the last generation of organized crime in NY, not the NYPD, precisely because of internal corruption issues.

Wow, that's crazy. But it does sound like something middle-class Americans would do; they love spending $100k on weddings these days.
It says he was working "on the skyscrapers and other scenery". For model railroads and other diorama work, those are usually made separately and then added to the layout.

He was just having a room set up with a desk and area to build those smaller components, then would take them home and add them to the layout.
I am sure I can opt out of BounceX if I know BounceX exists.

But am I really supposed to fill out a DNSMPI form every time I interact with any business? How many new businesses do you think you interact with on a given day? I suspect it is a lot.

Opting out is an unreasonable burden and there's a reason why almost no one does it. And yet we know consumers want privacy, so there is clearly a larger structural problem here.

We already know the solution! Make data collection opt-in.
GDPR is NOT entirely opt-in. For reasons of ‘legitimate interest’ a consent-less collection is warranted (ie. to perform the service). Yes, this does usually excludes data collection for marketing purposes. But it’s important to state that it’s not Entirely opt-in.
Devs live in their world most of the time. I had this problem as well when I was younger. I got cured very easy by employing 2 tactics:

1- Talk to your users. Watch them using your interface. Ask them what can be improved.

2- When direct access to users is impossible (one example can be: your work goes to another software company which in turn has access to those users) then you use it. Start making at least 100 entries using your interface, that should cure you really fast of your ivory tower. You might lose 2 or 3 hours but trust me, your interface design will improve ten-fold.

Because there is a real moat with data ownership and pipelines. If you want to do any analysis you quickly find that learning to properly use scikit-learn and tensorflow (or your machine learning algorithm of your choice) is atleast an order of magnitude lower of work than getting the data. For instance, I wanted to build a machine learning algorithm which took simple data from the SEC filed 10-Q and 10-K, which are freely available online and predict whether stocks were likely to outperform the market average for over the next 3 years.

Time to setup up scikit learn and tensorflow algorithms to make predictions: 4 hours.
Time to setup python scripts which could parse through the excel spreadsheets, figure out which row corresponded to gross profit margin, and a few other "standard" metrics: ??? unknown because I gave up at about 80 hours trying to figure out rules to process all the different spreadsheets and how names were determined.

I had a professor who was doing machine learning + chemistry. He was building up his own personal database for machine learning. He spent ~5 years with about 500 computers building the database so that he would be able to do the actual the machine learning.

Car owners kill ~38,000 people a year. Guns kill ~15,000 a year (excluding suicides). There are roughly 20,000 suicides a year via firearm. I would argue that if you compared the number of cars driven on a daily basis in the us vs the number of guns fired, that guns cause far more deaths on a per use basis. Seems like Car owners are far more respectful of their 'weapon' on a per capita basis.
I don't think this will be the non-profits who will see the biggest impact for this. Any move against them will result in pure ill will towards the new owners.

Instead, it will be the Amazons and Googles. The ones who are big enough, with big enough wallets to want to prevent typo squatting.

Of course, with Google owning a number of TLDs, perhaps it's not that inequitable... /s

Well, those are 2 of the 3 reasons I got a surface instead of a new MacBook when my 2013 finally died. Regular USB was the 3rd (and least important)
I tried this by the way, you pay in performance in a big way. Even if you don’t need hardware acceleration the general compile performance is bad, about 3X longer on a large angular project than a MacBook Air.
That's exactly what I mean, yall are smart, that's why I assumed yall would remap it somewhere that makes sense.
I find this terrifying because I have worked with county-level government organizations in the past, and have seen some truly horrendous and ancient systems. But they have such a high level of control over important things in one's life, such as ability to sell property! To fall victim to this because of something as simple as a name that doesn't fit a legacy system's assumptions is really painful and discouraging I imagine.
Get a lab grown diamond. Seriously - hey look great, undercut the cartels and are physically basically the same by any reasonable measure.
I think if the insurance wasn't subsidized, the (massive) values of those beachfront properties would collapse. With that, the tax revenues derived from that would sink beneath the waves, which would bankrupt local and possibly state governments. From what I understand those subsidies are what's keeping Florida from becoming a failed state.
I like it, finally Apple although I’ll still wait for the 13” to downsize (the touchbar is still just an excuse to drive the price up.)

The real issue here is the intel chip. New vulnerabilities have just been found and the company isn’t addressing them so I’m starting to question the platform.

What about an AMD machine. It would be cooler, slower yet un-throttled so about the same performance. But it wouldn’t be a sitting duck.
I can't stand lag, inconsistent connections, or changing batteries, and with the exception of Airpods, every interaction I've had with Bluetooth devices leads me to believe the whole category of hardware is generally one big dumpster fire. So instead I toss a basic $20 wired logitech mouse into my bag, and it performs flawlessly every time I pull it out.

No, of course not. I would have had them base on Gecko.
On the Google form, under the Salary header, there's a text box. Which imho is fine, given the inherent complexity of the potential input (some salaries are annual, others are by the hour or by the story, with a cap on the latter), and without adding multiple fields to the form.

> are we preparing for a global catastrophe?

It seems prudent. We may be entering a period of global upheaval and panic where large parts of human civilization will not make it past the next 100 years. It makes sense to attempt to preserve what we've accomplished in a way that will last for 1000s of years.
Better funding lets them work on an app. Definitely an app is useful especially if you're all in on GitHub.

Surprised by the mention of the morality of ‘Blood Diamonds’... this is classic western privilege, where the moral significance of an issue is proportional to the light of our attention. Do we really presume that the life of a wretched child in the Congo is going to improve because we buy an emerald instead?
I almost never use caps lock so I just mapped caps to esc and hold shift for all caps. The no escape thing doesn’t bother me anymore.
I have done it and will never do it again. The search options were terrible. When I finally settled on a product and ordered it, I received a product that was clearly a much cheaper knockoff of the shoe that was pictured. I contacted the seller and got the run around until I finally just requested a refund directly from Amazon.

This same basic issue has happened multiple times. Product and images are originally high quality, then at some point the manufacturing process is optimized to produce an inferior product without updating the listing.

Edit: This even happens with stores like Kohl's. The same exact product sold in stores will be sold online for the same price, but the quality is significantly lower.
I did something like this once and was able to have the middleman pay me upon customer acceptance of the time card. I benefited from not having to deal with the receivable. There was also the ability to push off business issues to the middleman and avoid mixing money with the technical work — which was hard for me at that stage of my career.

If you think this may turn into longer term work, negotiate a compromise. Maybe you pay your friend for a year, for a particular project, or something similar.
You're deluding yourself. She could not have at the same time "just wanted" a diamond ring and also "just wanted" you to overpay it 100x times (she cannot notice the difference, so a diamond and a non-diamond ring are functionally equivalent in her eyes, except that you're paying less for one of them)...

Anti-trust regulation, presumably. On another note, isn't that why Alphabet was created, to separate Google the search engine from all the random non-search efforts?
Don't get too excited. From the paper: "In the Google cloud, we leak around 3 bits per hour from another virtual machine." This is, of course, under ideal conditions.

The US is about 4% of the world population. The rest of the world about 96%.

(Google for "US population" and "world population", use mathematical process known as division.)
Financial services as a whole are inherently a large part of the economy so it's reasonable to see why they're going after it. Warren Buffet attributes a large part of his success to his insurance interests and the capital (to invest) made available to Berkshire Hathaway via the float.

Phdcomics are painful to read for someone who did a PhD and went through all the strips during all these years :)

Fortunately the comics did not exist at that time otherwise we would have been continuously depressed.

There is no meaningful technical criticism of Chromium that I have seen. All of the anti-engine folks’ main argument seems to be “it has the Google stink on it”, but I can’t see how that is relevant in an application explicitly designed to avoid their ad/tracking/cloud services. It’s just a renderer.
We are thrilled to be partnering with the Long Now Foundation on this effort. They were a huge inspiration to us!

When's the last time you used Spotify? Honest question, because that's the exact opposite of how Spotify works. You can be logged into as many devices as you want with the same profile, you just can't play simultaneously on each device without setting up profiles. I love that implementation, because it means I can seamlessly transition a song i'm playing on my phone over to another device with the app controls.
Very cool! -
>and to make people think otherwise requires a lot of education.

With enough education, you can make most people think just about anything.
When would you want to hack the AI?

Not a rhetorical question. Reading through the comment thread I'm slowly shifting more towards being on the fence, as opposed to having a "don't hack the AI" position.

But rather than hacking the AI, why not just get rid of the AI? What is the point of the AI in the first place if you're going to hack it to get the results you want anyway?
I removed those sticky e's from your fine comment above. I hope that's ok. It makes the discussion less distracting.
They clearly have options to unlock my account by doing additional verifications but as you said they clearly don't care.

Um... I don't know what to tell you - but I do that every day. Guess what - people who make libraries for other embedded devices, sometimes still write in assembly. Insane, I know.
>Moissanite has a higher refractive index and higher 'fire' than a diamond.

This makes the cachet that diamonds possess even more ridiculous. They're literally orders of magnitude more expensive, for something that's objectively worse in terms of the properties that actually matter for a gemstone.

But an interesting idea!
Also, there are import taxes for stuff not from EU.
I feel the term "deleting" is misleading.

It's more akin to "hiding" - to me, deleted means unrecoverable, by anyone, at any time.

Even your OS doesn't "delete" files, until the actual sector on the drive is overwritten (depending on media used, of course).
Ha, good point. Doesn't stop them from using the term I've noticed.
The practice is commonly referred to as sex (or gender) assignment.
The paradoxical thing with recent Apple laptop keyboards is that their Magic Keyboard 2 is pretty darn good. I haven't bought any Apple products for more than a decade, but I keep recommending and buying their Magic Keyboard 2 for Linux workstations.

It has a very good mechanical feel, and it reduces latency perhaps due to shallow action point and/or firmware tweaks [1]. Also, it's really easy to source ANSI layouts outside the US.

I do in fact prefer it to my blue ALPS keyboard for long typing sessions.

Ah I see what you're getting at now. Sure, ads are unethical and they shouldn't publish them, but since they will anyway, and it would be too heavyhanded to prevent them (by making it illegal, say), we should look at ways to defend ourselves against them.
This already exists to an extent on the other end of the transaction. Payment processors like Stripe are too ubiquitous to not have some level of oversight.

Some bot had flagged me as suspicious, and as a result

- I couldn't take any Lyft rides, and my company only subsidizes lyft.

- I couldn't rent a car on Getaround

- I couldn't rent a scooter on Skip, one of two providers in SF at the time

My mobility was severely hampered. I almost couldn't close on my house in time because my insurer of choice at the time also used Stripe.

To add insult to injury, Stripe's customer service absolutely refused to address the issue, flat out ignoring it. They claimed the issue was on the vendor side and to follow up with the vendor directly. It was only when I left a poor review on Google did they follow up with me within 2 hours, lifting the ban. For someone unfamiliar with the idea of a "payment processor", this may have never been resolved since the company "Stripe" is never visible during the transaction.
And that's the way it should be? You are arguing that we should adopt that model?

If not, this is just whataboutism. Just because other countries do something badly doesn't mean we shouldn't try to do better.
I've made the switch to invidio.us, which let me import my subscriptions from YouTube. I love that you can switch out YT comments for Reddit comments, as well as the minimalistic appearance in general.

Exactly that, the market is skewed by monopolies. You can easily setup an ad server, but good luck getting the attention of an advertiser. Google has a stronghold on display ads, almost a monopoly.

Your first situation is not identifiable to me as anything like my described situation. I do not see how you could think the two are examples of the same thing. Your narrative also does not appear coherent to me.

The Damore example is much better. I spent a long time going down that rabbit hole, and my conclusion is that he had a number of things that should have been considered and were not, in themselves, problematic, and he also had a number of things to say that were problematic, and he said many (but not all) of those things in ways that were problematic. The ensuing cultural conversation did the usual unfortunate thing, and devolve into black/white tribalism.

This is why I go first for a conversation with the Person As before deciding on courses of action.
