>Mass shooting has been going on for a very long time in the inner cities, but it's only a big thing once middle class kids and adults start shooting everyone up.

Inner city "mass shootings" are phenomenologically distinct from the more modern mass shootings you blame on middle class kids and adults. The former are born of gang warfare, with specific targets and associated collateral damage, while the latter are much more random and difficult to explain. It's dishonest to group them together as certain groups do, particularly those who cite mass shootings as evidence for the need for gun control. The two problems have different causes and different solutions.
This reflects VERY badly on the nation of Equador. It reveals that their promise of sanctuary to Assange was meaningless. Worse, it calls into question ANY claim of diplomatic privilege by Equador toward anyone and their private communications is untrustworthy and will remain so until the entire present government of Equador is dead and gone.

Simply put, Equador canot be trusted. Now everyone knows.

Alas, the same can be said for Sweden now that it's been revealed that their prosecution of Assange was baseless.
I continue to be amazed by how much effort over the years went in to moving and managing random physical objects around (money, file folders, books, etc). There have been two parallel processes, one optimizing the process (e.g. containerization, JIT delivery, et al) the other eliminating the physical stuff (e.g. files as data, money as data etc). Both processes are at their core ones of abstraction, though all sorts of vestigial traces remain (e.g. calling directories "folders", or even the term "file").

When I go to offices I feel that a lot of that subject matters (physical stuff) has merely been replaced by people moving data around (copying entries into a spreadsheet, for example, or writing reports). That's what we'll get rid of next and again, I believe it will be through a process of abstraction.
It's not the most popular way to generate revenue given that it's fairly young and offers a poor guarantee. That doesn't change the fact that it's a demonstrably viable way to have generate revenue without relying on visual and auditory poison. Given time it may supplant ads just as ads supplanted commercial licenses. I don't know either way and I'm not in the business of making predictions.

The fact of the matter is that I have control over what my browser renders. If you provide it for free "with ads" then I am going to access it for free without ads; you are putting it out there free of charge and hoping to get kickbacks. If you escalate the ad-blocker arms race, I am going to lose interest in whatever crap you are peddling. You do not automatically enter a mutual agreement with me upon publishing it and you will not succeed in guilt tripping me into watching vapid and manipulative corporate material.

If you want any of my money, use one of the crowdfunding platforms out there, or sell it upfront.

I'm not a fan of Apple or Google. But I also don't see any reason to think that Apple or Google cares whether I'm a fan or not.
So the firm is selling itself as a waste of money and Google wants to throw shareholder money away?
And that's why they are testing it.
Someone else is doing this. In fact, almost everyone else is doing this - insulating themselves into silos with people that agree with them, where they can mutually reinforce their certainty that they are right, defining themselves to be "grounded in reality", and defining everyone else to be delusional idiots.

What's really needed is a way for people with your degree of certainty to interact with people who think differently from you, in a situation where you actually listen to each other and see to what degree the other side has some valid things to say.
Can you be concrete about what security vulnerabilities you think it would introduce if Apple were forced to deal fairly with people? I don't think anybody's advocating for Apple to put viruses on the App Store.

No, Honey knows about "intent to purchase" - which is very valuable. And same intent will be sold to a million merchants even though the person will only buy from one.

There is money to be made, it is theirs to lose. However, considering it is PayPal.... who knows.
You can't think "rationally" about death. It's literally incomprehensible to a human mind, when the object of death is that mind itself.
Centralization is (always?) less efficient per-unit-work than decentralization, because centralization requires a hierarchy of management overhead to work. Centralization makes more efficient things other than the unit-work, things like aggregate tracking. These things are typically only of concern to the organization doing the management and have almost nothing to do with the goals of the party for whom the work is being done.

Take, for example, developing a website. Maybe it's a site for a small municipality to post community updates. This work could be done by a small, local consulting group or a gigantic, multi-national one. All else being equal, the cost of the project will necessarily be higher with the large consultancy than with the small.

And experience bears this out. I've been in both large and small consultancies, and the only difference was how many layers of management were on top of the decision process. There is no "economy of scale" for developing to a customer's needs. And there is nothing in the management overhead of the giganto-corp that improves the project for the customer. All that overhead has to get paid for in some way, so it necessarily leads to higher project costs (which probably means massive budget overruns because the big Corp probably priced the project at or under the local Corp in order to close the deal).

Large, centralized systems become something like hedges for the management org. They lose money on a long tail of small projects only to make it back with more on a few, large winners that can be milked. We look at the bottom line and say "everything is up! It must be good!", but we don't stop to look at the individual failures. While, if it were all decentralized, we wouldn't have a metric to look at to determine what direction the aggregate it going on, but that long tail would probably be served a lot better.
Unless they freeze to death along the way.

I imagine the retailer just cares about getting the sale and doesn't really care who they pay the 2% (or whatever) commission fee to? Shouldn't make too much of a difference whether they pay the commission to Honey or to some random blog.

It certainly sucks for the blogs and websites trying to fund their content with affiliate links though. Someone like Wirecutter can spend time and money on reviewing items and then can lose out on the referral commission in the end.

That's not a correct analogy. It's a window into the key, allowing the lock to be opened, not a window into a room that is protected by a lock. The point is that security is a defense mechanism, not an absolute guarantee, yet responses like the above and the sarcastic "Math, mostly" one go to show why we need to educate people about the context in which encryption exists. It does not exist in a vacuum. And there is no such thing as a perfect lock in the real world, where we live which is the only place where the discussion about the value of encryption has any value.
+1 This is a fantastic point! I no longer can edit my post though
Yes, but when potential investors or acquirers were doing their diligence, they'd find out that your cost of user acquisition was extremely high.

It's likely Honey did have a high cost of acquisition, but nowhere in the ballpark of $200/user.

>This will keep happening, as it already has a few times over. Unless they are backed by real solid insurance, cryptocoins and their associated exchanges are a serious gamble, and nearly always a scam if they aren't backed by some big money (banks/insurance/a well-known billionaire, etc)

This will keep happening as long as crypto exchanges aren't treated like banks and run like banks, IE regulated, with requirements for standard accounting practices, requirements for funds on hand, transparency requirements, and everything else that goes with being a regulated financial entity. In particular, there need to be requirements for a two man rule with oversight from a licensed accountant for the money. Too many of the "fallen" crypto exchanges were just tiny companies controlled by one person who turned out not to have the morals of a saint.

Millions of dollars is too much temptation for most people to handle, and without rules and regulation people have a weak moment sooner or later and they're lost.

That has nothing to do with your comment, but regardless it absolutely doesn't. Just because other people may be allowed to talk about it doesn't mean that you are.
All accurate but you missed the real step 1, which is arguably the most important - Check for danger. It was drilled into us repeatedly in our course because it's extremely obvious but always easy to forget during a situation.

Our first aid teacher told us a lovely story of a child on his bike who got zapped by a downed power line. The next two family members trying to help him also died because they just rushed in. Not a great day for them.

In other situations, something as simple as pulling the park brake in a traffic accident can save a world of problems. Regardless, don't even get close enough to physically check them if you aren't sure it's safe.

To an extent I agree. But, a counter point, I've experienced significant depression (very first world problem), and reasoning about my situation objectively has actually helped me. I try to distance myself from my feelings and acknowledge what my real state in life is, and make choices accordingly. That has kept me out of some trouble, and also helps turn my feelings around.

The very act of choosing based on reason instead of feeling gives me a feeling of power, and depression tends to be accompanied by a feeling of powerlessness. This seems to be the mechanism of how reason helps me with depression.

Of course, it is not a complete cure, and it would be trite to say so, but reasoning does help.

At a surface level it may seem that others don't share the same common interests as me. Underlying their differing interests, however, are feelings and needs that all humans share in common.

> Yes, it is really evil for a corporation to disagree with the concept of unionisation

Corporations are made of people. Unions lose fair votes all the time. People who oppose unions are smart, honest, hard-working people who love their children and who just happen to have a difference of opinion with respect to policy. Are all of these people "evil"? Are they all morally unredeemable because they prefer a different kind of employee-employer relationship? It's bonkers how many people think the answer is "yes".

Deciding that anyone who disliked unionization is just evil is unlikely to be persuasive: instead, it'll just create division and bitterness and create conflict where there could have been cooperation.

Accepting the legitimacy of disagreement is a foundational aspect of a healthy,safe, and productive society. When you take that away, you're left with nothing but chaos.

Nobody said anything about the CPU, I've gone from two cores to quad to now... I dunno, whatever the hell an i7 is. 16? My screens have also gone from 1680x1050 to 1920x1080 to 2560x1080. I just took umbrage with the idea that you need to spend hundreds on your GPU to get good performance. People see the 3-monitor setups and RGB lights and streaming equipment and think that's PC gaming, but it's not.

The reason I ask is that Graham Hancock in an interview on Joe Rogan was saying that specifically Ayahuasca would allow people to see the same thing, exact same events, whereas DMT would not. Perhaps I misunderstood what he meant. He seemed to imply there was something intrinsically different about the way that was prepared and used traditionally and how it affected people. He seemed to imply it connected people.
Very often, there is no perfect solution. Even if somebody has some idea what they can do about the problem, that doesn't mean they can just do it and everything is great. Say, if your marriage is falling apart, you can either stick with it and try to improve things or get divorced. Those are your options, and they're both painful.
