> Weird fallacy. If I am paid to dig ditches in Haiti, is my true value different from digging ditches in Monaco?

Yeah your true value is different in that case. Being at the right place at the right moment represent quite a bit of value actually (even if most of the time you have no control over it).

You clearly see "true value" as some kind of intrinsic value, which has to be kind of universal by that definition, but that's not the true value he was talking about, nor does that true value exist as you said in the last sentence.

The true value he talk about is the actual value you bring by the work you do. The thing is we want profit, thus unless you make all the profit, what you get out of your work isn't the full amount that your actual works represent.
That's not entirely true. They ruled that silence in a non-custodial interview could be admissable at trial. Silence in custodial interviews is still not admissable and they didn't actually decide the question of whether or not silence can be taken as substantive evidence of guilt.
> I haven't adopted a "never talk to the police" vibe, but I seriously think twice about talking to cops for anything that matters.

I was a police officer for a good portion of my life. The problem is you may not know what matters. I have a couple teenagers and I don't even let them talk to school administrators without me present if there was some type of trouble at school. I certainly would never let my children talk to the police and I myself, would never talk to the police. You may think what you are saying sounds innocent but you never know how the officer is viewing your statement or what king of evidence they are looking for.

For example, a few years ago my neighbor's house burned down in the middle of the night. He and his family had decided to spend the night elsewhere that night before the fire started. Apparently, he had some hotel points from work travel and they stayed the night at a fancy hotel -- locally. Investigators were suspicious of this so they brought him in for questioning. From his account, he said they were very friendly to him and sorry that his house had burned down. They jokingly asked if he had ever missed any payments on his house. He said actually he missed this months because of a illness in his family that required extra money. But that he had worked it out with the bank. Well the investigator ran with that statement and the fact that his whole family wasn't home and opened an arson investigation with him as the suspect. It took nearly a year to clear him and the insurance wouldn't pay until the investigation was done. He continued to pay for the house and had to live with relatives. The whole thing was crazy. If he wouldn't have talked to the police, they would have relied solely on the fire investigation report which didn't indicate arson.
True, but in general startup terminology, "technical" tends to mean "can code." The idea of the site is to feature remote jobs that don't require programming skills and/or are art/design-related, as many people find coding overly difficult.

But yeah, perhaps there is room to improve the messaging. The long-term goal is to build a travel brand targeted at remote creative workers.
It also omits the part where google starts preloading and rendering the AMP page when the user is still on the search results. Without that, AMP is often no faster than many non-amp pages.

Doesn't matter much if the lawyer only has 10-15min allocated for your case.
In England however where we still have English Law very few innocent people get sent to jail. If anything the system is flawed the other way in that quite a lot of guilty people get let off. I remain puzzled why the US is as it is.

Can you share the rough location where you see a discrepancy? There are various data quality issues with PurpleAir that I attempt to clean up, but after cleanup the data seems to agree pretty well. They seem to have a lot more sensors than AirNow uses so in some cases they can see more localized pollution issues.
Nuclear is a solution in countries such as India and China where it can be constructed for cheaper, but in the west it is dying due to the high cost. If nuclear only compared unfavorablely to fossil fuels the externalities could be addressed by a carbon tax. But because it compares unfavorably to renewables it is really dying.
How many of those employees work as customer support and do stuff like localization as opposed to developing Google's core products that are then sold worldwide (I'm really hoping somebody could answer that)?

The first is basically an extension of local sales while the second is a genuine cost center that should be offset by worldwide revenue.
I think the fact that Google gives higher ranking in their search results to sites that use Google technologies should be addressed in anti-trust investigations.
>By the way, people will try to convince you that you're nuts and that the documentation is crystal clear and so on

No it really is simple: the original implementation had a base of prefabulated amulition grammar, this was surmounted by a malleable logarithmic function in such a way that the two main spurving vocabularies were in a direct line with the panametric grammar fields. The latter simply consists of marzlevanes fitted to the ambifacient morpheme waneshaft to eliminate side utterances. This main winding is of the normal lotus-o-deltoid type, just placed in panendermic semi-boloid stators. Basically every second conductor is connected by a nonreversible tremmie pipe to the differential grammeters.

This is _literally_ what people do to game the paint speed of websites for Chrome Lighthouse tests.

They render a <p>Loading</p> so it gets a paint score of 100, then when their behemoth js app finishes loading+parsing it removes this dom element.
The reason that they do not just penalize slow loading sites in a big way is because those are the sites that they directly profit on.

Most page weight seems to come from tracking and ads. Google IS the most popular tracking and ad provider on the web.

If google penalized slow loading very much, they'd be hurting their own revenue and data collection. It's a conflict of interest.

AMP allows these big, ad-driven, heavy-weight sites to still take all the top spots on the web. Meanwhile terrific content is buried because it's failure to implement AMP.

Google's self-interested ranking of sites is shaping the web very negatively - towards more tracking and more ads.
I agree /lives/ aren’t directly at stake, but depending on what your business is, /livelihoods/ are.

When you’re an entrepreneur and have a small team, each of them may have a family. As the leader you are responsible for running a profitable company that can pay its employees so their families can eat.

At the large company I work for my team’s product is B2B. When we go down, other businesses go down. The number of people affected is very high. Treating every incident like someone’s business is dependent on you and they have put their trust in you to support them is very sobering.

When I had to suffer through LabVIEW (2009ish) my notion was that it LabVIEW-the-language might have potential to be a decent language, and that it was a shame that the only possible IDE for it (LabVIEW-the-program) was so horrible. The expensive license can't be helping mindshare, either.

(Now, that was long enough ago that I forget most of my specific opinions, and many of them are probably now outdated.)
I didn't expect much and I'm still disappointed. What a misery.
> On that there have been claims we have 12 years to get on track

In order to meet an arbitrary mark chosen primarily because people like round numbers. Nonetheless, the IPCC report was reasonable, and didn't conclude with "we're all going to die".

But then celebrities and social media oversimplified that and people who get most of their information from celebrities or social media came to believe that they're going to die, soon.

That's alarmism.

And the author called out alarmism, not the IPCC, so pointing out that the IPCC aren't alarmists isn't relevant.

I worked on amp for a leading newspaper, and everyone who says that amp is about "making the web faster on mobile" is either very naive or doing marketing for google.

For publishers, amp is about trying to top the results on google search and capture traffic, it's their only motivation to publish their content using amp, and the only metric they look in order to evaluate the results.

Once they have their amp content, they will look how to load it with ads and tracking, which very conveniently is supported on amp, just as they do in their regular sites.

So the "fast" part, besides using their CDN, actually comes from limiting what you can do on almost every other part of the site, you can only do the stuff that is packed in the amp components controlled by google, which in practice means that google controls the web behavior.
> Stop using chrome.

FF is great, but it's also worth pointing out that Edge has all the Google adware removed and better privacy. There was a post from Eric Lawrence detailing all the Google stuff they removed a little while back, it was about 25 separate components. There's telemetry though so make your own mind if you're cool with that.
I recall running into:

- Messing up certain cases of dependency resolution such that you'd get a different version than NPM would give you.

- Something involving not checking paths they should have been, that caused brokenness.

- Local package problems of several sorts—really any 1%-of-users-or-lower use case, and I'd guess "just fetch some packages from the NPM servers" is the sole use case over 1%, seemed fairly likely to have problems.

- All of the above and more sometimes causing a dependency that worked under npm to fail with misleading error messages due to bad interactions between that package and yarn.

There were more but I don't remember all of them. My impression was that they implemented half the features of npm, did way fewer correctness and safety checks, crowed about how fast they were, and everyone crowned it as a superior drop-in replacement for npm literally years before that would be justified.

Mind I have no love for npm and don't much care what the command I run is called or who made it, I just repeatedly saw projects start on yarn then hit a silly problem the simplest fix for which was "use npm", while people were running around shit-talking npm and acting like yarn was some kind of miracle.

[EDIT] our projects were node, React, and React Native. I'd definitely believe it's possible use Yarn and never hit this if you don't happen to use a package that's broken in it and has only been tested under npm, or happen to step on one of the landmines, and maybe it actually is totally fine now, I just know people were claiming it already was and sticking their fingers in their ears when you told them otherwise back when it absolutely was not a suitable npm replacement yet.
I was thinking about a condition that's specifically for "inherited but not supported", but that's pretty close to what I had in mind, yes.

Java doesn't have a language-level exception that's specifically for unusable methods, which can be a bit awkward. UnsupportedOperationException is the recommended answer, but it's relatively nonspecific as to why your operation wasn't supported. Apache's Commons extends that with NotImplementedException for cases where the call isn't definitionally impossible (e.g. adding to an unmodifiable map), but no implementation exists.

I'm currently using Yunohost, but I'm finding the system a bit brittle for some use-cases, and some choices rather arbitrary (which was also the point, as I initially chose it to spend less time managing my server).

I would like something a bit more fleximble, and was seriously thinking about jumping to Guix or Nix. Does any of you have any input on this? Proxmox is also a candidate, as I could run my old Yunohost side-by-side with Nix, Guix, and others, I guess. I'm just afraid of overcomplexifying my nginx config.

Allso, if I run Guix/Nix on Proxmox, I'll lose the declarative config advantage... Is the opposite possible?

It could provide those diagnostics to an educator, guide the content to focus on those, coach the reader directly, etc.

It all seems very doable based on what I see in the technology today, I just don't have the skills to do it.

Another way to fight back against Google in general is to stop using Chrome and stop using google search.

Not as far as I'm aware, or Vista(1) users and indeed, Windows 7 stalwarts will have an awakening moment in the next year or so.

Their EULA kinda covers them fully into not offering refunds in such circumstances as well.

Which does raise the issue, if the OS the game was written for initially loses support and you don't see Microsoft offering refunds, why should games when you have had years of fun.
Sure it's a sour pill and back in board game days - nobody expected to purchase Monopoly and suddenly due changes later like an emissions zone introduction, find that they was unable to play that game anymore as their playing pieces all exceeded the emissions limits! Mad analogy I know, but does help curry perspective upon this.

However, it gets down to - did the game being sold mention any of this or forewarned, or indeed - have an expiry date! Nope. Heck, does an OS like XP come with an expiry date or any form of notice that it would ceased to work as sold? I'd guess not.

So much in the land of software and consumer rights or at the very least some level of guarantee is needed or at the very least, existing protection is updated or inforced to shake up this limbo state of consumer miss selling. Which it is when you get to the crux of it.

Still, another way to view it mad-analogy wise is that software is like fuel and if your car stops being unable to get spare parts or is unable to drive down roads it used to be able to due to some new regulation that came in. Well the fuel still works in newer cars that conform and is it the fuel companies fault if you unable to use that fuel in your car any more?

So many ways to look at this, but it certainly makes linux gaming more appealing for longevity and equally makes open source games more appealing as it the edge case, you have the power to fix the issue yourself if you encounter one.

Thinking about it, the only OS that comes to mind that is sold with a definitive support end date from date of purchase would be ChromeOS upon chromebooks.

After reading Thomas Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century and his literal hundreds of pages of hard sourcing of the claims I made regarding wealth and income inequality and how corporations have served to massively concentrate income and wealth into the hands of a tiny class of managers, I have become used to folks like you who react extremely emotionally and inappropriately to the cold hard reality of how capitalist economies work.

P.S. in America, the retirement system is failing, from social security to public and private pensions. All of them are either being redone to ensure folks won't get their money when they retire they way they were promised, or they're just monetizing debt to keep up. Perhaps European style systems are better funded (which would likely correlate with dramatically higher taxes) but massive pension protests in France starting today would seem to suggest otherwise).
How does fracking produce ozone and particulate pollution?
Except renewables cannot deliver a whole network on their own ever, so there is no competition.
The cost is a fake issue, because nuclear competes against coal and gas power plants and not renewables.

You need a base load capability for smoothing in an electrical grid. Most renewables are the exactly opposite. The exception is biogas or other gasification plants a these cannot handle the required load at all. Not even hydropower.

Look at what happens in Australia if you push too much solar energy (same with wind) on the network.
I used to configure my own non VESA resolutions in the X windows config file.

If the monitor had enough bandwidth you could push it past the standard VESA modes.

I used to run bespoke resolutions like 1600x1200 in the mid 90s on a big Trinitron monitor I bought at a surplus store.

IIRC the only limitation was that the resolutions had to be both divisible by eight.
I switched to DDG many years ago and stopped needing to use Google search for anything maybe 2 years ago.

Huh, I wonder how the OpenBSD team will regard this one.

I'm unfamiliar with exactly how to tell what's in the base system and what's in ports, but I can see openvpn* entries over at http://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/6.6/packages/amd64/ - does that mean there's arguably a hole in the base distro?
