Bias is largely unintentional. Your world view impacts how you interpret things and therefore which stories you find interesting or worth discussing. An agenda is different. An agenda is a conscious attempt to lead others to a particular end goal of your choosing. Perhaps you don't think that distinction is important, but I do. News will always be biased, but quality news does not have an agenda.

Here's a snippet of the public apology the NYT published after the 2016 election. Maybe with honesty, or without fear or favor means something different to you than it means to me.

>As we reflect on the momentous result, and the months of reporting and polling that preceded it, we aim to rededicate ourselves to the fundamental mission of Times journalism. That is to report America and the world honestly, without fear or favor, striving always to understand and reflect all political perspectives and life experiences in the stories that we bring to you. It is also to hold power to account, impartially and unflinchingly. You can rely on The New York Times to bring the same fairness, the same level of scrutiny, the same independence to our coverage of the new president and his team.
> I wanted to murder her. No joke. If I could get away with it, I would have. The anger was physical and deep. Rage and disgust was the feeling, and I felt personally attacked. It felt like a "fight or flee" instinct, where I'd prefer to fight.

Just in case you're not using hyperbole, you might consider some visits with a good counselor. I think most people can learn techniques to avoid getting so angry, and the unhappiness that comes with it.

I mix my own juice. I did the math a few months ago, and I can make 60ml of juice (which lasts me about a week) for about $1.50. Coils usually last me about a month to a month and a half, and I usually pay $5ish a piece. So yeah... my monthly vaping costs are about $11/month at the most.

So, doing the math, as I use 3mg/ml juice, I vape about 720 mg of nicotine a month. If I bought the cheapest Wal-mart generic brand gum, in the 2mg pieces (because to replace my vape, I'd want a low dose per piece), 720 mg of nicotine in gum form would cost $81/month.

That is a huge difference. Even accounting for the fact that my vape device cost me originally $70, it's still cheaper, potentially as soon as the first month, to vape over chewing gum.
I'm potentially the only one being skeptical. Don't get me wrong, it's nicely done (for an experiment), but we also did similar experiments several years ago.

At the fundamental level such an approach works, but it brings several issues that are not addressed with it (in contrast to, e.g., Electron). The most pressing one being "I don't want any browser - I want a browser that I know is capable of doing what I want".

Yes - they're inappropriate for open offices and there's a very good chance that you're bothering someone.

Best way to handle this is communicate. Last office mate I had asked if he could bring his in, and since it was something that's never bothered me I was totally fine with it... I brought mine in shortly after ;)

I disagree - the last 2 years of the legal US marijuana market were arguably dominated by vape carts, which are generally considered lightweight and weak for the connoisseurs of high-THC flower/concentrates. With the lung disease outbreak, it's already remembered as an ugly/dumb fad, but in a sense it validated the market for a product that gives a lighter high.
I don't think the fact that NYT seeks a profit necessarily means that they don't maintain a level of journalistic integrity though. Obviously how much we trust NYT (or any other media outlet) is a personal value judgement, but I would be wary of conflating profit with motives (in this case promoting click-bate journalism which is misleading).

No, SCA also applies for account access. Banks are allowed (but not required!) to only require SCA once every 90 days.

This is something where the technical regulation falls short, though. They (i.e. the EBA, which I believe specified the technical part of PSD2) could have specified some minimum usability requirements for delegated account access APIs.

Having to do SMS-based 2FA every single time when using a third party client compared to being able to use Face ID for the bank's native app is probably not really the intended outcome, but the reality for my two main bank accounts.

It’s not as clear cut as this. I form and hold complex ideas communicating with colleagues when designing and implementing a broad range of software systems (we work on core libraries used across our company) - we bat things around a lot and get to pretty decent solutions rapidly. I’m fortunate to be amongst people who work like this. I’ve also worked in teams where members preferred to concentrate on problems individually. While I can work like that, I much prefer more communicative teams.
This is truth if I’ve ever seen it. Chefs and line cooks whoa boy that whole industry in the back of the restaurant runs off drugs.

Highway 407 is a great example of what for profit highway systems look like: high prices, dynamic pricing, tons of hidden fees. Prices per mile are something like $0.80-1.00USD (for passenger cars), not including a few bucks in fees. When I traveled to Toronto for work, my bill per trip on the 407 was at around $50USD. This was in around 2014 and I imagine that prices have gone up a lot since then.

According to wikipedia, for each dollar collected by the 407, $0.21 goes to maintenance, and $0.79 to profits ($0.66 are paid out in dividends). The 407 collects $1.3 billion dollars annually with double-digit annual growth.

30 years ago this article would have never been published in the paper, or it would be a tiny article tucked deep in the financial section or whatever. But nowadays they have to do anything to get clicks/ad views/subscriptions/attention, because that's the game now. They'll write a headline like the FedEx one because they naively think they can do so without repercussion because they're stuck in the old mindset of being the unassailable trusted authoritative arbiters of truth. No, as it turns out, when a company does a thing that can potentially harm another company financially, the other company can now publicly fight back for all to see online. "Journalists," as well as many in this thread, still struggle to acclimate to the reality of this relatively newly leveled playing field. You can't just publish whatever anymore from an ivory tower of "journalism" and expect someone, individual or corporation, to not fight back online.
>Fedex isn’t just challenging the facts.

Actually, they didn't say anything that challenges a single specific fact from the article.

> They are challenging the underlying premise that corporations are a net negative on society.

The article never made that claim (nor even implied it).

What Fedex is doing is attempting to change the discussion from a very specific accusation to, well, anything other than what the specific accusation were. I can't believe otherwise intelligent people fall for this nonsense.
Depends entirely on the "culture" of your team. I have pretty strong misophonia that's been nothing making my life very difficult since I was a kid but switch noises are actually satisfying to me. A lot of devs feel the same. Mechanical switches sound like concentration, good work, precise engineering. It's all about the consistency of the background noise and the mental associations.

On the other side of things, the sound of a door closing too strongly will ruin my concentration and put me in a mood.
Because my main interest in Russian comes from wanting tk read grammars of other languages written only in Russian, as well as other Russian literature. Not much for interacting with others, though of course I'd likely improve that once I met my goals with reading.

Those seem like they could at least plausibly be representative of actual searches. "Men can..." is probably not a terribly common search outside of sex/gender discussion.
Would it be fair to say that Google still only has a single product (with meaningful revenue)?
I can top that. I sit right next to a Very Important Executive, who has an office with a door that closes (I, of course, as a very unimportant peon, sit in a noisy open office next to QA people who are testing voice-activated devices all day). However, VIE’s office gets hot if he closes the door, so he leaves it open all day. He also doesn’t like to use his telephone headset, so he leaves his phone on speaker. All day. Every day. And the thing is, he’s actually a really nice guy - it’s like it never occurs to him what an inconsiderate officemate he’s being to everybody around him.
Someone on here a while ago said “protocols and not apps.” That’s definitely the right way to look at things, especially when it involves hardware.
> The law says they can access the river, but not that they can trespass to do it.

I get being angry at them for the stuff they do while on the river or getting to it but this interpretation is bullshit. If they're allowed access to a location but every piece of abutting property is owned by someone to exercise that right they HAVE to trespass somewhere.
it seems that this could support node, just not directly like electron (i.e. you'd have to start a separate node server and point webwindow to that).
It seems like physical pentesting is more about putting on a show. If you can break into the network remotely, most people have a hard time understanding the technical details. But if you can break into a courthouse undetected, now you have something everyone understands.
I would consult a lawyer. Depending on the state, I would personally be walking the perimeter of my farm with a gun, shooting at anyone who's stealing my property/power on sight. Homeless people have advocates, sure, but this is basically home invasion, burglary, and probably many other things that are just plain unacceptable by &/or from anyone.
>Moreover, AMEX somehow is not subject to this regulation.

NAL. It is somewhat complex and involved Amex exploiting a 'loophole' in the EU law, which capped the fees. It revolves around how three party and four party arrangements were structured and implemented. Nonetheless, it was challenged and Amex lost it's appeal and currently open for interpretation, notwithstanding the fees that it has to continue swallowing as a result.

Excerpt:
What is more complex is that American Express doesn’t even charge interchange fees because there is no intermediary. There are no interchange fees to cap. Instead, it has to cap its general fee charged to retailers. This will presumably need to be set at a level similar to the total fees now charged to retailers for accepting Visa or Mastercard.

Debatable at best.

1- Employment is slightly increasing but still tragically low. Whatever gains in employment are coming from loss of worker rights.

2- Record historical inequality and increasing means unavoidable civil unrest in the future

3- Inflation is down due to idle capacity, not increasing production

4- Stock market is up at the cost of (the promise of) privatization of oil and profitable public companies

5- Goods and services consumption going up with mean household income going down means people are selling dinner to buy lunch - the government is allowing people to spend their government pension deposits again. Didn't work for long when they did it in 2018, won't work now

Your ability to handle weed has nothing to do with age, not to mention smoking before 21 is probably very bad in the long run. Your body gets used to copious amounts of THC if you just keep smoking every day for some time, probably 6 months to a year. Everyone can do it, imho, but nobody even considers it because of the social taboo. Everyone is ok with drinking caffeine till the point you get headaches if you stop, but smoking a joint a day is still seen under negative light.
This paper (storage combinators are talked about in the slides) https://2019.splashcon.org/details/splash-2019-Onward-papers... is absolutely insane. It's perfectly readable, has numerous concrete examples, i love it.

My only problem with the presented technique is that it requires a highly dynamic runtime environment, and so we would be back to abandoning compile-time type safety.

Has there been any attempt to port the idea of storage combinators to compile-time type-safe programming languages ?
There was quite a sad case here recently. A midnight bobsled run. They'd done it before. It was great fun and relatively safe.

What they didn't know was that this time the track had been set up for luge. The luge entrance blocked the bobsled track with a big metal gate, and they slammed into it at high speed.

I occasionally went places I shouldn't have when I was a kid, but there's definitely risks to doing so. It's pretty hard to know what you're getting yourself into.

That is “stealth”. It’s obvious because it is expensive and secret tech. But also because if you look at the ship you see a ship, whereas the radar shows an albatross or something small.

It’s interesting that when Mitt Romney said 47% of Americans don’t pay income taxes, the Times pointed out this was misleading because many of those people do pay payroll and other taxes. It seems they are guilty of the same sort of deceptive rhetoric here.

Ehhh, the 'collect it to use internally' is a bit inaccurate. While not literally saying 'here buyer is user data that we are offering to sell you' Facebook, Google, and every other platform do sell user-derived data to advertisers in the form of native audiences or other targeting products. 'Oh you want to to serve ads to individuals that shop at Uniqlo? Here's a list of profiles to target that have checked into a Uniqlo three times in the past 6 weeks'. 'New-Parents? here are inds that have dwelled on babies-r-us (I have no idea if they still exist) or clicked to learn more about a stroller ad that was served in their Instagram feed'.

It's not 'here's all the activity data about Anthony Mouse', and user data is collected internally, but it is also baked into targeting products that they sell to brands and agencies.
Rebelling Against the Status Quo – How to Do It Right
Everything above is extremely variable from state to state in the US and most of what you've said is wrong for the vast majority of states.

In Maryland, Castle Doctrine isn't enshrined by law but is held by precedent and still requires "reasonable belief" of harm.

In Texas, someone entering your property illegally can be met with lethal force in most circumstances, and some property can be protected with lethal force (with more than a few caveats, including the time of day).

Lethal force is lethal force. Whether you shoot someone in a cowboy duel face to face or smack them with a lead pipe when they are unaware doesn't overwhelmingly matter (putting aside reasonable belief issues that might arise).
I guess my point is that there's a lot to "privacy" when used generally. Direct selling data is one thing, but not the only thing of concern. There's also the issue of data breaches and other malfeasance like that.

Even if the bank itself doesn't sell data do Visa or Mastercard (or whatever company handles processing?) How about other entities, like retailers? Bank/debit cards can still be used to build a profile, no?

I don't mean to criticize your personal usage policies because I've largely come to accept that we can't avoid all risk of data theft or misuse as long as we're using electronic payment. I just think it's more complicated than "but Google, therefore selling data".

For my part, I try to limit the number of hands in the pot, so to speak. If my bank and the card processor and the seller get info, do I benefit from adding my device's OS maker to the mix? On Android I can choose to use my bank's app rather than Google's service if I want to avoid yet another potential for leaks or profile building.

I look at skipping Apple or Google Pay the way I look at skipping "loyalty cards" which offer some minor discount or convenience in exchange for another hand in the pot.
That would be good for the UI, but PRs that modify .github/workflows already never run the checks. I guess they could also modify your npm `scripts` to `cat .npmrc` but that's another issue.

The reason for that is that as a merchant, you don't get to choose your customer's issuing bank, but you do get to negotiate with your PSP/merchant acquirer (and switch – there is quite some competition in that space).

Scheme fees are still unregulated, though, and I assume that these will be the next focus area of the EU regulator(s).
One compounding problem is that (in my experience) we haven't worked out socially acceptable ways to negotiate noise levels in offices.

I.e., it's not always clear what the standard is that everybody is expected to meet, and there's no risk-free way of asking somebody to be quieter.

And so, in addition to anger at the noise itself, we also have a recipe for simmering resentment and impotent rage.
