Your argument is similar to security through obscurity. Obviously semi-technical people know how to "modify" (add objects that obscure other objects, then flatten and cleanse the output).

Really the issue is that we need a non-MS-Word editable document format that includes hash/signature features to ensure the edit/publish state of the document.
Totally agree here. It would be nice to edit pdf the same way it would be nice to edit a jpg. But it’s the wrong tier to operate on. What people really need is more consistent access to source files aka design files. The only time I feel stuck needing to change a pdf or jpg is when I don’t have access to the “design file”.

If reports that come out of systems need to be edited they should dump to excel or word and not pdf.

While the P in PDF means portable I think it’s better thought of as “published” as in “published document file”.

my gf's daughter (age 5) had a cyanotic spell last night (turned blue from being frightened and crying). She straight up stopped breathing. Having the CPR steps drilled in to my head put me on autopilot, which was really reassuring, even though it's been awhile since I last took the class. Thankfully the sternum rub caused a lot of pain and her to start crying (and thus breathing) so I didn't need to call 911.

Ok, so then you have the problem of Google judging what is and is not political.
The secret about contrarian viewpoints is that they tend to be less supported by obvious evidence, which means there's a confounding factor of being downvoted for expressing a poorly-reasoned viewpoint.

For extreme examples: "I don't vaccinate my kids because I don't want them to have autism" is both contrarian and sort of actively disproved by evidence, so downvoting on the latter grounds is entirely reasonable. If you want to run a worthwhile discussion site, the discussions have to be meaningful to discuss. "The open-source movement is a mistake and the world would be better served by changing the Open Source Definition" is a contrarian, unpopular opinion, but there isn't clear evidence either way as to its merit (among other things, it's more of a straight-up opinion than a report of facts), so it's worth discussing, and shouldn't be downvoted just for being contrarian.

The comment above mostly made testable claims about Silicon Valley's culture. "I feel like the SJWs have gone too far" is an opinion. "People cannot criticize the Chinese government in lunchrooms" is a claim that can be proven or disproven.

Personally, I think the annual release cycle is the problem. They keep having to release these “clean up” versions because they didn’t have time to perfect the originals.

Of note on the macOS side, everyone’s fondly-remembered Snow Leopard was also the last non-annual release.

Agreed. Assuming you're someone who is in this club, may I ask: do you think there's a material difference between being shot at in a military sense (for both, say, proper battles as well as what our people were subject to in Iraq, 2003 and later) and being shot at in the city sense (random drive-bys, verbal altercations turning into gunfire) ? Thanks for your consideration.
It's not a perfect solution, but you can make a big dent in this yourself remarkably easily by carbon offsetting all your own emissions right now: https://www.goclimateneutral.org/

Reducing your emissions completely is difficult. As others here have said, there are many emissions you can't practically reduce yourself, from concrete production to necessary transportation. Even where you can't reduce your personal impact though, you can reduce worldwide carbon output by an equivalent amount instead, by offsetting: directly donating to equivalent reductions elsewhere in the world that just need funding.

There's other providers too (e.g. https://offset.earth/), the only trick is to find somewhere that's cheap per-tonne offset (you should be able to do it for around $4 per tonne), with projects that are vetted & certified. Some more details & links to the kind of projects that offsetting funds here: https://www.goclimateneutral.org/our_projects.

The title is bs. Microsoft had a lot of legacy software which served as an on-ramp for Microsoft Cloud. MS success in the cloud is all a result of MS's past monopoly and has nothing to do with any individual who works for Microsoft.

I bet Satya Nadella is just another corporate bureaucrat who is skilled at taking credit for success which has nothing to do with them.

I don't buy it for 1 second that someone who is good at creating value could have the patience to spend almost 30 years working in a bureaucratic and monopolistic corporation like Microsoft and I doubt that it's even possible to learn these kinds of skills there. On the other hand, I think there is probably no better place to master the art of social manipulation and backstabbing.
That's kind of like saying nobody mentioned they wanted wheels for their car, so you got them cars without wheels. What's the problem?
Personally, I think it's a good idea and I wonder why they didn't do it long ago.

As for privacy, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place. An Uber car isn't any more private in theory than a train or subway. If you want privacy, stay at home or get your own car. Uber already knows where you're going if you use their service, so this only gives them access to any conversations you might have. Simple: keep your mouth shut in the car. Why would you have a super-private conversation in a cab anyway, with some stranger who's driving you right there?

Agreed. The same point was made in an earlier article on Stadia, comparing it to Sun Microsystems' thin client SunBlade machines. Essentially dumb terminals that are useless as a computer unless it's logged into a Sun-based VM.

When the Blackberry CEOs were ousted in 2012, the new CEO Thorsten Heins frequently spoke about dumb terminals to escape the challenges of low-margin hardware. Rather than trying to compete with Asian OEMs in that area, let them make the hardware, while BB provided the software on a subscription basis.

It's interesting to me how widely followed the "Snow Leopard" myth is. It was a total disaster of a release. There were egregious issues in libdispatch which led to the entire API being re-written at least once. There were also random hangs due to major kernel scheduler changes for the first several point releases. Snow Leopard also introduced OpenCL, which has basically never worked. The Finder re-write added no features but made it slower. The 64-bit kernel couldn't be turned on by default for years. Many of the perf gains came from dropping PowerPC support by default with only a couple years of warning, which I'm sure today would cause an uproar.

It got marketed as a "no features" release and that's how it seems to be remembered. But in fact it probably was probably the highest-risk Mac OS release ever. It rewrote a huge amount of code for almost no direct user benefit, at time when testing was quite limited.
$1.5k is generous...it's more like $500-$1k maybe. I'm lucky to have my own place in SF but most people have roommates because SF rentals is mostly houses, but if you lived nearly anywhere else you'd almost certainly find your own place and not scramble to find a roommate.

So you go from paying $2k/month with roommates to maybe $1.5k/month without. Not a huge difference.
This is one of the limitations platforms have, it simply can't be fixed, and platforms often don't have incentives to fix it.

What's important for platforms? GMV.

Faking reviews is just the first step of gaming the platforms, next vendors will pay people to fake-buying, as what's happening on JD and Alibaba on an industrial scale. They already need the GMV and commissions generated, now that PinDuoDuo is popular for selling dirt-cheap things, they need to retain vendors now too, so they don't even pretend to punish these fakings.

Alibaba's 11.11 shopping festival is a good example, it goes out of its way to make the GMV of that single day as big as possible, tactics including forbidding buyers to pay before that day(make them to delay weeks' purchase to that day), disabling refunding on 11.11, sales tagets for vendors.

Intel Graphics Compiler Update: 16-Bit Atomics to Tiger Lake, Other New Features
I am skeptical about the whole Cloud story. Has the faint stench of the housing bubble.

It made sense when the story was about renting out spare data center capacity. Amazon and Google had a ton of excess which started the story.

Microsoft, Oracle, IBM et al did not, but had to react to Amazon and Google Cloud and had to build up capacity. Then the game turned into ensuring all that new capacity was utilized. Enterprise needing to make the shift to Cloud is driven almost mindlessly by that fact, much more than actual Enterprise needs and issues. Utilization is achieved by smart marketing, a ton of it, targeted at dumb Enterprise.

This feels like some honeymoon period.

> Have several employees do tagging and if enough give the same tag, apply it.

When the scope of what you're tagging is expansive enough, inter-rater agreement isn't as useful as you'd think, primarily because you get correlated biases across your rater population.

These days the pendulum seems to have swung towards the left being fond of censorship and advocating for institutional control of "truth", so to use a left-coded example: good luck finding finding a population of raters in the US that doesn't fail the Implicit Association Test[1] wrt anti-black racism.

The "obvious" answer is to make sure your raters on each ad are balanced wrt biases, but doing so upon every axis that Google ads may refer to is literally impossible. You probably can't even articulate all the relevant axes.

It seems to be hard for people to imagine any ambiguity or flaws in the official truth that contemporary institutions push, so an easy thought exercise is to consider what this sort of an approach would have looked like during the Cold War, or even post-9/11. If you think those are anomalies and that we're in a post-lies, universal-truth era, I don't know what to tell you other than to suggest picking up a history book and realizing that there's never been such a thing.

Rawls, Antigone, and the tragic irony of norms
Good points! The time where the `while` loop is actually better is very situational, but when it is a better fit, it is definitely handy to have in your back pocket. But more generally I just think it is useful to know how you can implement language constructs like this in Elixir with nothing more than the primitives it provides, some macro glue, and a bit of creativity :)

A couple things though; one issue with your first example is that you incur a 1s wait for either success or failure conditions, where what you typically want is for only the failure condition to impose that cost. Luckily, you can keep this approach and fix it by removing `Stream.zip(Stream.interval(1_000))` and replacing it with `Stream.intersperse(Stream.interval(1_000))`.

The other problem though is that you end up incurring quite a few additional function calls vs the `while`, since the `while` inlines the predicate and associated machinery. You end up with precisely one function call per iteration, with the ability to exit early on failure or timeout, whereas the function-based form is going to incur potentially several function calls, depending on how the `Stream` is being constructed - if I recall implementation details correctly, your first example would be a minimum of 3 calls per iteration; one for the unfold, one for the interval, and one for the take_while.

Of course, that's all really just optimization, and your `Stream` based solution is perfectly fine in general. The only additional benefit (IMO) to the `while` form, is that it reads very succinctly, and due to most being familiar with imperative constructs like that, they can read it with virtually no effort, where reading the `Stream` form takes some care to understand what you get at each step, and what it produces in the end.

RE: Mutability, I think I mentioned it in the post, but I really didn't want _actual_ mutability, just the appearance of it. So while one could use the process dictionary, or ETS, or even another process, to get something like "real" mutability, that kind of defeats the point ;)

Not a great comparison. Of course exercise has intrinsic value! It’s just the grueling hard work that used to be life isn’t such grueling hard work anymore, and we haven’t yet adapted to that. It’s too easy to not work hard and make a good living, and a symptom of that is obesity. There’s still vocations out there that are hard, but most jobs don’t require you to lift more than 50 pounds and only infrequently at that.

Exercise as a hobby has no intrinsic value though. You either do it for whatever reasons that you find compelling, or you don’t.

Getting back to the local news, I guess the way for it to be more compelling is for your local market to be more interesting, or for the people in that market to be more interested in their neighbors. I am struggling to find a niche in there that can’t be filled in other ways by a hundred other means. I think the case for local news these days is only when a market is so big that keeping tabs on the goings on of the city’s bureaucracy is a full time job, and even then, only to the extent that the bureaucracy has an effect on people’s daily lives. I think the market has already mostly optimized for this. You’re not going to make the product as it existed in the 20th Century any more compelling than it is now, unless conditions in the market change to allow for this. I think we’re going to have to collectively let go of our romantic notions of the local paper from times past.
