>It surprising to me that so many people give the benefit of the doubt to enterprises, when they (at huge effort and expense) emit "mealy-mouthed" rebuttals that leave open the possibility that they actually are doing evil.

And the alternative is an organization which has an absolutely stellar track record at not doing evil (obvious sarcasm should hopefully be obvious).

Neither party is can be taken at at face value here.

it seems like in the event that quadratic payments are applied to a situation where multiple parties are competing for a single good that it reduces to something similar to an auction. Imo it's clear that auctions, corresponding with what you said, favor those with the most income.

> they’re end-to-end encrypted so not even Facebook can’t see your messages

Not quite. Facebook still controls the endpoints, so when you see the message so can they. This is obvious: you use their app to view the encrypted message, hence the app has access to the cleartext.

That's precisely the same as an uncashed check - an IOU. Just because you can cash it at any time does not make it different from an IOU. Until settled, it's just a "hey I will pay you some Bitcoin in the future".

It's a commitment to a payment that untrusted parties are going to settle immediately for reasons discussed above.
Actually, if you read carefully, it claims that non-solicitation agreements are unenforceable if the solicitation took place AFTER the termination of employment. But in this case Apple is saying it took place before, as well.

Ah, ok, I think my right lies somewhere in me withdrawing consent and my belief that they lack a 'legitimate interest' (which is somewhat well defined under GDPR) for retaining it. I might contact the ICO and Telegram and see what they say - might be fun :)
Don't trust closed source software for encryption.
Hell, in a reCAPTCHA loop even getting shot in the head doesn't seem like a bad idea.
I don't think this is the case. We have seen MIPS and ARM appear, and all sorts of ISA extensions (like NEON). Amazon even offers non-x86 machines now!

The old mantra "without software no one will buy your hardware" is no longer generally true. There are lots of programmers now days, and as long as your new chip can show improvement in one area, someone may use it. We've even had chips which execute Java bytecode directly!
FYI, that link gave me a 404. I found what appears to be the same paper here: https://www.cs.umd.edu/~gasarch/BLOGPAPERS/social.pdf
You can be sued for anything, of course. A contract has to be enforceable for it to make sense to be sued for it, and California law has a lot of worker protections that make certain common contract provisions unenforceable/illegal. Nuvia's framing is that all of the things he did were previously held in court to be permissible under California law.
> or a machinist/technical degree

Two year certificate at a community college. I hate to break it to you, but I know a lot of people who take this route, buy houses, and live fulfilling lives with decent salaries for their area. In rural Minnesota, an electrician can buy a 4 bedroom house, new truck, and take 2 or 3 hunting trips a year to Canada. A machinist makes about the same, and can get a decent job in a 20-30 worker plant, as described in this article.

And yes, traditional high school has not prepared us for this, but the workarounds are there. Many community colleges will allow concurrent study for an associates, often at reduced or subsidized cost. In Saint Paul, MN, you can attend a local community college for free if you graduate high school.

I frankly have the opposite opinion. Parents pushed kids to get a bachelors, the gov pushed kids to it, and colleges played along, and kids who had no aspirations to white collar desk jobs ended up with degrees that didn't help them.

How would a can't be possible here? They're being asked to modify the client code to enable surveillance. A client can't be secure against changes to its own code, and a protocol can't be secure against the client sharing the data it receives.
To me, working is just the way you participate in society and civilization.

All the fantastic gifts and riches in a modern economy you enjoy were made by Someone. You need to participate in and support the system by also making things for others.

Of course not. But it's something, and it's important!
interesting, I suppose if the top 6 inches of a field freezes then it slightly expands in volume and when the soil thaws the smaller soil particles would then have an opportunity to fall beneath the rock... not sure if this is dependent on the top or bottom thawing first though...
Technically they are not introducing a new engine. Chrome is well established with a 60-70% market share. Not saying thats a good thing either...

But you have a very pro-apple and anti-google way of thinking here which I think misguided and does not actually benefit you. Even with those made up numbers chrome would improve from 70 to 75 which is by all means a win for the consumer (you!) but you are ready to dismiss it as it might be bad for Apple.

(For the record, I don't use chrome)
Its not great out of the box - rather a WIX type of solution in my opinion.

A non technical person dumping there technical people and going it alone is as they say "a brave choice"

Does rather depend how dependant on organic they are.
Better pay, better conditions, and protections against arbitrary firing are all reasonable pitches. Why has nobody I've worked with ever thought that far? Rhetorical, I suppose. Probably too many DSA meetings.

Seniority pay, strict work rules, tenure, and more are all products of the incentives around contract negotiation. Those incentives can easily turn toxic. They're the results of needing to have something to bring back to the membership as a victory over Management, producing the equivalent of pork barrel spending.

As you say, these are not built-in. They're just failure modes of a particular political system.
The VC likely has information regarding this matter that we do not.
Yes.

Whether or not the litigant prevails depends on specific language of agreements, their enforcability, and the specific circumstances around the departures.

That Forbes article was wrong: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20587643
We have to be careful not to draw too strong a line between any differences in attitudes between the sexes and career choices. When the Hollywood stereotype of a programmer was a lab-coated professional working in a team on an idealistic project which runs amok then just as many women as men entered programming. When the stereotype shifted to a loan hacker in basement waging a solitary war against The Man gender ratios went lopsided. You can blame teenagers for being foolish in how they're affected by pop culture but it's more effort than most people expend to figure things out better at that age. And there is a real gender difference in that the archetype of the hacker is more appealing to men, but for the vast majority of programmers the old Hollywood stereotype is actually much more accurate.

So even if gender differences are in some sense causal in differential representation that doesn't mean that they're inevitable or that they're something we should just accept.

It's not an "exception", it's totally normal for the huge jets that Asian airlines fly for their intercontinental routes. Sure, you don't need that much range to go from NYC-LON, but I'd argue that that's an "exception" as such a short route that happens to cross an ocean and is also popular. The Pacific is a much larger ocean. You're not going to get between any major Asian destination (China, Japan, Korea) and other major endpoints (Australia, US, Europe) non-stop with such short range, but the Asian airlines do these routes all the time.
Tell me About Implementing Wine's Audio Drivers On Linux
>The web is a semantic API and its components represent meaning.

Make the semantic API a library. Or how about seperating semantics from component. Semantics are listed in a single file which can be crawled and only possesses meta data that links to other semantic files. The pixel level API and web crawlers have libraries that can interpret these files. This is a much better design then the adhoc way the web formed.

>What's the problem with rendering into a canvas, again?

It's using low level components as a composition of high level components. The design is backwards and vendor locks people into html. There are other ways to display semantic UI. Html is an arbitrary choice.

> And no, HTML not being similar to graphics APIs doesn't count as a downside of canvas being a child object.

How can you be so sure footed about your argument when you literally say you don't understand the argument later on. You don't understand the argument therefore your entire argument is baseless. Little lesson for you: you need to ask questions and understand before you compose an argument otherwise your wasting time.

>It should most certainly be the center point of this design if you truly want this platform to be universal and versatile, or even usable.

Your saying ad blockers should be the center point of design? You realize that right now in html and css ad blockers aren't the center point of design. An adblock centered design implies something along the lines of replacing the html tag with one that has the word adblock in it. Literally adblockers are designed for the platform not the other way around.

>I'm genuinely surprised how easily some people are to dismiss the openness of the web, surrendering users' freedom in the process, simply for... I'm not sure why actually. I don't understand the argument.

You should of put your declaration of lack of understanding and comprehension in the beginning. That way readers can dismiss your entire argument without first reading it because things need to be understood first before you can make a counter argument to it. Reread my argument until you understand or take some classes at reading comprehension then you'll have what it takes to make an argument.

Honestly let's get a little more meta at what's going on here. Someone has composed a response that is rather rude. The responder dismisses my argument by implying that my arguments are so baseless that he doesn't "understand." Highly offensive. When you play games like this nobody wants to participate in an informed discussion. I'll play his game and say that his lack of understanding makes his whole counter argument ludicrous but literally this argument was over before it even began when the responder decided to be a rude and offensive. If I were the rude responder, I'd just walk away because nobody cares for his opinion anymore.

I went through a phase of using Grunt, Gulp, npm scripts, etc. for web projects.

Recently, after reading this article on make[1], I decided to give it a try and I've been pleasantly surprised with how much easier using make has been vs. some of the FUD I've read about it.

That's not to say there aren't some issues, but that's true of something that's been around since the '70s, including Unix itself.

But that also means it can address almost any situation where files need to be generated and there are dependencies involved, including what I'm doing with generating a static website, compiling and minifying CSS files (or not minifying but including a sourcemap if it's a dev build) and deploying to a production or staging server.

I don't love the syntax but it’s not that bad once you get used to it. Actually, I prefer it to the seemingly endless nesting of JavaScript objects in a Grunt or Gulp configuration file. My next step is to take advantage of Vim’s built-in support for a make-based workflow.

It's not just about denying nature, but denying all the choices along the way by so many parties. You see something like, Company XYZ hires 2/3's men for something. They are called sexist, the people working there are sexist, it is a hostile work environment, etc... and it's the 2/3's number that is offered as "proof".

Further, just proposing that nature is the cause can get a person fired.

My stance is that lack of proof is being met with lack of proof by a group that is tired of being the target of constant accusations.
Actually before I was ad blocking, two large local electronics stores did the same stupidity. I bought some expensive electronic toy, then was followed for a week by google ads for the exact same electronic toy. Which i had just bought. And was expensive enough to not buy another. And the ads were for the EXACT SAME STORE i had just bought it from.

I repeat, that was before I began blocking ads. For a while I was on the 'let the web sites make some money' side. Then the web sites became unreadable with ads on so it's uBlock Origin now.
The generous view of the dads worried about sons playing with girls' toys (no quotes around girls', because I guarantee the marketers intended them that way) is that they're concerned it'll signal "ostracize me and kick my ass, please; I'm an easy mark for gaining social status at the expense of another" to their peer group. Which doesn't make the effect any different, but the intent might not be to limit their sons' play per se.

[edit] what I mean is simply that those kinds of sentiments might be a reaction to perceived bias in culture, expressed as bias but not driven by same, if that makes sense. A kind of re-enforcing meta-bias. Again, doesn't make the effect any better.

> Why is the "default" choice different between programs and databases, when at the end of the day they both do the same thing: accessing data for our code?

Because databases are designed to be efficient at scale. A hash table just doesn't have the functionality that a database with a B-tree variant does.

And on the topic of user logins, I actually mentioned OpenID Connect because I’m using Auth0 at work and for my own personal projects, so if you’re looking at supporting Auth0 directly that’s fantastic news for me! :-D
Economics specifically does not make that assumption. You will see it in cost-benefit analysis, but it is not anything like a fundamental assumption in economics. I don't know where you got the idea that it was -- if you learned it from your econ 101 class you should demand your money back.

The fundamental idea in economics is "Pareto efficiency". Something is Pareto efficient if there is a no way to make someone better off without making anyone worse off. An idealized perfectly competitive market would be Pareto efficient, but the bulk of microeconomics these days studies market imperfections.

A level of production is "optimal" if it's Pareto efficient. Again firms in idealized perfectly competitive markets will produce a Pareto efficient output, but real markets can fall short of the ideal. For example, a polluting industry will overproduce, unless pollution is taxed.

IIRC, there are conditions where your alternative criterion matches Pareto efficiency, but they are somewhat special.

Does anyone know of any particular critical thinking genre books, that somehow focus more on the particulars of language usage?

My reading of page 5 ("APPLE CANNOT STATE A CLAIM FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT BECAUSE THE UNDERLYING CONTRACTUAL PROVISION IS ILLEGAL") is that they're claiming that the entire non-solicitation agreement is unenforceable because the contract claims to prevent solicitation after the employee leaves, and so even though a contract that only prevented solicitation during employment would be permissible, this particular contract doesn't do that and therefore the whole thing is void and there's no valid non-solicitation agreement left. "Section 3.0, however, cannot form the basis of a claim for relief, as it is illegal and thus void and unenforceable."

Am I reading that right?
IANAL, so I can't say what allows this sort of thing, but it is very common for companies to assert exactly this.

I don't know if it's been tested in court or not.
OP: I don't know if you already know it, but there is a huge homebrew tabs community around the Rocksmith "video game".

This is patently untrue. Make is not available by default on Windows, which - whether you like it or not - matters as a platform for a large number of developers.

_Fortunately_ some CI images (certainly GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps) install GNU Make on their windows images by default, but it absolutely cannot be assumed for average developers.
