> The piss-poor are too caught up trying to survive to have much of a political agenda.

With all due respect I don’t think this is true. Besides, as income level goes up, people are more likely to be a blue voter than a red voter[1], a fact people have a hard time believing.

Arguably 2016 was the poor, lower middle class (one of the least represented demographics in America) rising up and rejecting globalism. They affected change, was it not the kind that you expected?

After all, what class do people think the “deplorables” are? A bunch of rich dentists?

Gosh... I (re)read it this morning, and come across it to here. I developed an habit that I gift a book to a random person I meet on outside... at a coffee shop, or on a beach whatever. I usually choose a person that read a book and go like "hey, what are you reading?" and we talk about it... It's a great icebreaker. By the time, I happen to buy hundreds of books and decided to share them. What is the point collecting them and calling it a "library"? It eventually lead me to meet the people from all shades of life with the interesting stories.

The section https://github.com/herrjemand/awesome-webauthn#software-auth... talks about using Android phones or Wear OS to webauthn with Bluetooth. The section title is misleading. It's not about software tokens, but about turning one's phone or a smart watch into a hardware token.
That’s the way I felt when I read The Blind Watchmaker. I was thinking, alright, alright, I get it already...
> It cannot be used by those who do not accept the license.

This is wrong. You don't have to accept the terms of the GPL if you use a program, only if you distribute and/or modify it. https://opensource.stackexchange.com/a/2867/

From the text of the GPLv3: You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or run a copy of the Program.

The Affero GPL is unusual, but even there, you don't have to accept the licence merely to run a program.

> If they do accept it, it limits their rights to use, modify and redistribute the software within limits spelled out in the license.

Again, no, it doesn't restrict the right to use.

> Most people here refuse to understand that "freedom" can't be given by a license. It can stay the same, or become restricted (when a license imposes a duty or obligation on the licensee).

That's wrong. You don't have rights to use/study/distribute/modify/modify+distribute software unless the software is in the public domain, or if those rights are actively granted to you by a licence.

If you happen to stumble across some source code, and it's still under copyright, and there's no licence, then you have no right to it. Same goes if you find an unfinished novel. This is why GitHub took steps to encourage people to add a clearly stated licence to their projects.

If you want to make the case for permissive BSD-style licences being 'more free' than copyleft licences, then sure, that's a debate we could have, but freedom absolutely is given by licences.

> how is it ethical to attempt to restrict another person's freedom?

Banning kidnapping and slavery increases the total freedom in a country. Copyleft operates on a similar principle, prohibiting people from taking Free software and using it as the basis for non-Free software.

The copyleft-vs-permissive-licence debate I mentioned above, is as old as Free Software. Here's an old Slashdot thread where the usual points are made: https://developers.slashdot.org/story/11/12/17/1735253/gpl-c...

Have you tried using Google Takeout? I have not but it claims it can export all of your photos/videos/etc. and is probably the sanctioned way to do this.

The iOS app needs photos access because it is less a Google Photos client and more an alternative Photos app with Google Photos syncing/integration. I think it would not be ideal to use it if all you want is to export data.

(Disclaimer: I currently work for Google.)

The article is definitely not "missing" the political angle; that part is addressed. The point is that it's indeed a question about politics, not economics. By advocating that people having 1 billion in assets should have some of their assets taxed away, you're essentially saying that our political processes are so screwy that on average, someone with say, 1 billion in assets can be expected to use the flaws of our political processes to inflict real, actual damages on the order of, say, $100M on third parties (compared to the most feasible alternative outcome) and that they should be paying restitution for those expected damages. While this may be in fact an appropriate description of a number of countries outside the highly-developed West, it definitely doesn't describe, say, Western Europe, or even the U.S.! Our current President is an exceptional case, he's nowhere close to the norm of all billionaires, and policy should not be set as if he was.
parcelrc would be a nice addition.

I've lost my voice from all the other features they've dropped over the last decade plus. It's all fallen on deaf ears, anyway.

They don't care about Firefox users, because they're not Chrome users.
This is an ongoing debate in my head.

Obviously, there are examples of both cases (e.g. Facebook is an "ok" design but Stripe is beautiful).

Then there are other things. For example, this CB Insights post (https://www.cbinsights.com/research/personal-finance-apps-st...) mentions a study where "Stanford psychologist BJ Fogg gauged people’s reactions to various websites and asked them what factors played the biggest part in their assessments, design was unanimously the most commonly-cited reason for trusting or not trusting a particular site."

So I wouldn't say design has nothing to do with the success of a product, but it is true that it's not enough to make a product good.
These types of books have always been a bit frustrating to me. Coders at Work is another one.

Moore is a genius, and his inclusion is absolutely for the better.

However, if it came just 5 years earlier, it would have been able to have so much more value. Falkoff's inclusion within was great, Falkoff contributed greatly to the APL ecosystem, but interviews with Iverson are scarce and hard to come across, and he had an amazing view on the big picture for these things. His books are probably the most valuable I have on my shelves.

Also, it leaned far too hard on ALGOL's many derivatives. Roger Hui and Arthur Whitney would have been more valuable than most of the people included. Even Forth got three people interviewed, which is admittedly pretty cool! (PostScript is Forth.)
There are a whole lot of products and services in that list I haven't heard of so will be checking those out.

Notable about the list is the absence of anything from Microsoft. I cannot (will not, truth be told) do without Office and Exchange.

Are all the items in that list free?

Finally, I hope to see affordable and credible, non - Apple alternatives to Android some time. Still on Windows Phone which to this day has a better UI and UX than Android. But no WhatsApp does suck pretty hard.

Anyway I'm Google free too but always looking for better alternatives, so thank you for this list.

Which is a great reason for Firefox to not do it. Firefox sets itself apart by being different from the other major browsers, with a focus on user control and privacy by default.

I can understand removing features by default, but they should not be removed entirely. If user.js is causing startup to take longer and nobody uses it, then come up with a different way to check for it (e.g. about:config setting). If it's causing runtime or maintenance issues, then it might be worth asking the community if it's worth keeping.
Agreed. Iraq should not have been invaded.

The point is that ssh keys lying around on your laptop aren't the greatest idea either. Where is the root of trust? The password you type to terminal if you encrypt them?

FIDO2 starts with the idea of safe defaults, where either client devices (Android, laptop TPM,...) store the keys safely, or dongle vendors (like us, SoloKeys). These have a business interest in doing their job properly.

But there's nothing preventing software implementations, it's an open standard in that respect (I do have other issues with it but your specific concern is unfounded imho).

> The Trump administration has made legal family reunions a lot more complex and time consuming than it used to be.

It's an interesting contrast between "making it hard for an immigrant to bring in his family is a harm to the immigrant" and "family members shouldn't suffer negative consequences when other family members commit crimes" (or "only the person who commits a crime should be punished for it"). The first assumes that the family is an extension of the person; the second assumes that treating the family as an extension of the person is unthinkable.
But wealth in relation to taxation is purchasing power. Wouldn't be more fair when taxation happens as sales tax when the actual inequality happens? When they buy/import and harbour yachts, planes, jewellery, fine art, cars, other luxury items?
If you value meaning over "hot", I would say the MLIR compiler framework has the chance to accrue lots of value and meaning over the next 10 years. MLIR builds on top of LLVM to provide a new API layer for writing modern compilers, which will be important for languages targeting heterogeneous computing platforms (ML workloads, HPC, etc). Lot's of the ML tooling in Tensorflow is already being moved into MLIR.
This criticism of Saez and Zucman is extremely important. The media has latched onto their studies because it fits certain talking points. But their conclusions are far from universally accepted among economists.

More importantly, regardless of what side of the aisle you are on, you have to appreciate that these measurements are not simple, and are based on choices that are not obvious. Saez and Zucman, for example, exclude transfer income like the earned income tax credit from income. Under their methodology, even a very redistributionist economy, such as one with a high guaranteed minimum income, would look unequal because those transfer payments aren’t included in income.

How you measure things changes the results. Measuring pre-tax income shows inequality growing. Measuring income after taxes and transfers shows it growing slower. Measuring consumption shows it more or less stable since the 1960s: https://voxeu.org/article/consumption-and-income-inequality-.... There are good reasons to consider each of these measures. (Though I’d argue that measuring consumption is the most relevant to every day well being.)

Interesting practice. I like to read, around 2 books per month, and mostly random books (non fiction) that catch my interest. I have interests that are unrelated to one another, and due to this I find it difficult to just talk about a book to someone I know, and even more so with strangers.

There is a companion guide which I think is really important if you actually want to read it without needing to study it.
1. Changing how campaign contributions/PACs function seems like a more reasonable way to change this than simply pursing a quasi-communist means of dragging wealthy people down, in the hopes that with less money they'll have less influence over the political system. I'm kind of sympathetic to 'wealth taxes will give us more income for programs to better society', but when it turns out to outright retributive 'taking money away from some people is an aim in and of itself', I get pretty concerned. No societies that are explicitly & punitively about punishing the wealthy seem to function particularly well

2. If wealthy people like the Koch brothers are going to be taxed anyways, they may spend more of their wealth on campaign contributions simply because they'll lose the money either way. If it's 'use it or lose it', why not keep spending more on dark money PACs or whatever?

“Less coffee, more original thinking”- Ben Horowitz
In my experience, most medium to large size companies are primarily comprised of people doing what your doing. Most places you could lateral to would get what they expected. I think it’s totally fine to do that and let the rest of your life be the more important thing.

Now, if pushing your career forward is what you really want, people in a new company will start to notice once your putting in the effort and communicating what you accomplish. There’s no trick to it, just putting in the effort on the tasks you take on and being thoughtful about how to accomplish them in a way that is focused on the company’s goals.
If you are ever in central Texas, check out Buckee's. There's one near Waco that blows my mind. Something like 120 gas pumps. The bathrooms are spotless and in the men's there are probably 50 or 60 urinals and a similar number of stalls. The store attached to the gas station is pretty big too and has just about every kind of junk food and some decent bbq as well.

I can't reply to your initial post, since it's flagged dead, but from a Jewish Halacha (legal) point of view, your home is not included in the Eruv anyway.

Only the public properties are included.

For example a common walkway in a condo needs an eruv (since it's owned by all the condo members together it's considered public [joint might be a better word] property, not private). This common walkway is NOT included in a city eruv, only city owned property is. (And the owners of the condo will need to make their own eruv.)

Although biofuels prevent consumption of fossil fuels, they still contribute to CO2 emmissions. Another side effect is that the land resources used to grow those biofuels are consumed. Also they lead to food prices increase and shortages. The good thing is when the raw material is made of leftovers from normal food oriented farming. However when farmers replace corn cultures with rapeseed that's bad.
Well, here's how Karl Marx put it:

"What, then, constitutes the alienation of labor? First, the fact that labor is external to the worker, i.e., it does not belong to his intrinsic nature; that in his work, therefore, he does not affirm himself but denies himself, does not feel content but unhappy, does not develop freely his physical and mental energy but mortifies his body and ruins his mind. The worker therefore only feels himself outside his work, and in his work feels outside himself. He feels at home when he is not working, and when he is working he does not feel at home. His labor is therefore not voluntary, but coerced; it is forced labor. It is therefore not the satisfaction of a need; it is merely a means to satisfy needs external to it. Its alien character emerges clearly in the fact that as soon as no physical or other compulsion exists, labor is shunned like the plague. External labor, labor in which man alienates himself, is a labor of self-sacrifice, of mortification. Lastly, the external character of labor for the worker appears in the fact that it is not his own, but someone else’s, that it does not belong to him, that in it he belongs, not to himself, but to another. The worker’s activity is not his spontaneous activity. It belongs to another; it is the loss of his self."
> TL;DW: Unlimited debt-based government spending during WWII in R&D and electronics development like radar (which actually is a catch-all phrase for lots of very different technologies) provided the fertile ground for the later capitalistic growth phase.

I agree with this with the caveat that the big beneficiary of this largesse in the wartime and postwar region was inside Route 128 in Boston; Silicon Valley really started taking off in the mid-late 70s. This is actually reflected in the timeline (though its parentheicization is buggy).

The then primacy of the greater Boston area is not a complete accident: Both FDR's science advisor, Vannevar Bush, and the head of the wartime NDRC were born and educated in Boston (both MIT grads; Conent was president of Harvard). As the article points out, the major SV academic institutions Stanford and UCB were still considered second tier at that time (despite UCB's atomic work and Stanford's having already produced a US president).
