Apple will just slowly write itself into the equation so that little snitch can no longer mess with whatever muddled idea apple seems to think is important.

Already with Catalina you have to connect to apple and ask permission before you can even install little snitch. That means little snitch can't protect you from apple, even if you've told apple "my machine doesn't connect to the internet".

And your machine contacts apple every bit as often as microsoft machines even though their philosophy is supposed to be different.

bottom line: you should not have to ask apple permission to do anything with your machine.

YouTube takes this one step further to the ridiculous extreme that if you are live streaming a DJ set, it censors your stream in realtime whenever it detects a copyrighted song, i.e. a good 1/3 of your stream. It doesn't need a DMCA request, it does it willingly.

YouTube is so horrible now for content creation, I don't understand how content creators are able to post anything anymore without it being smashed by the copyright automation.
> Have you ever tried personally using videoconferencing on a saturated network?

Yes, my domestic connection often is saturated by p2p software. My router is running CAKE, thus video conferencing runs fine even when the link is close to saturation.

> For people at home, the bottleneck is often something like their apartment building or block or neighborhood -- wherever their ISP didn't provision enough.

In that case better AQM would have to be on those bottlenecks of course.

I wish I could find the study so take this with a grain of salt without my presenting that, but I'll do a search; it's also all in French. It was a double blind, peer reviewed, replicated study that suggested 400-500mg hydroxyquinone (NOT hydroxyquinone sulfate,nor chloroquine nor chloroquine phosphate) + azithromycin (Zithromax, Z-pack, etc.) + zinc was shown to be effective either once symptoms began to shorten the duration, or can be used as a prophylactic measure, preventing the disease altogether in medical personnel. Raoult was one of the scientists behind the study, which differed slightly from his other studies. There was has been a 100% success rate so far, and presently they are testing on a larger sample of those in the medical profession. I will try to find the link.

1. 120 newsletter subscribers.
2. 2.1k page views.
3. 3 more startups added.
4. interviewed for a tech magazine.

My thoughts were that this can only go one direction - become a content platform with interviews and such. However Maybe I'm missing something? I also know the web is filled with such content/interview websites like indie hackers / starter story / failory / etc..

I don't think the web needs another interview/content platform, plus it's a great deal of work to build all that content as a side project. what are your thoughts on it?
There’s so many reasons for Mercedes success, that the parent comment comes of as being a bit silly. As you mentioned, they have Lewis Hamilton, who a lot of people would argue is the greatest driver of all time. They also have a very clear pecking order, team orders for Bottas to lose to Hamilton are a meme in F1 (“Valtteri, it’s James”). After the season was underway, they really only let them race after Hamilton had secured the drivers championship. Toto’s leadership is certainly very good (which the parent poster is referencing one particular part of), but you also have to remember, that Mercedes have only been dominant for one particular generation of F1 cars (the turbo-hybrid era). The sample size is absurdly small, and if you ask most commentators who’s going to dominate next, most of the would guess Verstappen (or LeClerc), not another Mercedes driver.
Kitty is good but the only issue I have is the use of custom terminfo xterm-kitty. This means things break when ssh’ing to older Linux until you copy the terminfo manually. On BSDs it doesn’t work as there is no terminfo support.

I've been driving around Poland a bit, one of the things I always watch out for are drunk guys on.tbe road at night. It could happen that one passed out in the middle while crossing.

My uncle told me a story once how he stopped just in front of one, and the only reason why he saw him was because of a reflection from an incoming car didn't look right on the road surface. His intuition is quite good as he's an experienced driver. He just said he slammed on the breaks because it looked funny. I never forget that story and always make sure that I can completely see the surface I'm driving on. I'd imagine it would be the same thing quite common in Russia, or anywhere really... Especially around crossings

Privacy laws, much like noise ordinances and pollution regulations, are emergent responses to novel threats and ills.

In a world without the printing press, anti-libel laws didn't exist. In a world without photography, rights to personal image and freedom from invasive shutterbugs didn't esist. Anti-wiretapping and phone-recording restrictions were necessitated by the telephone. The Bork bill protecting the sanctity of ... video store rental records ... was necessitated by videocassette technology, a video rental market, Supreme Court nomination hearings, chatty store clerks, and newspapers interested in publishing such details.

As technologies tear down and penetrate the long-standing barriers to snooping, recording, transmitting, analyzing, and acting on what had always. been personal and private behaviours, societies turn to law to reinstitute those protections.

Privacy is an emergent phenomenon and a direct response to intrusions.

You seemed to have missed the option that has been driving economic growth for centuries: improved worker productivity through improved technology and methods. A machine can work cheaper and faster than any Chinese worker. Eliminating work is even more efficient than that.

So basically work smarter than harder or cheaper. The way to compete with the Chinese is through better ideas.
Might be worth mentioning that current evening use is probably much higher than typical evening use, due to people staying home & streaming TV/movies or video chatting with friends, instead of going out & visiting people etc.

So remote working during daytime might not be an issue, but increased recreational use of internet in the evening might be. (I'm just speculating here, haven't seen anything from the ISPs about this)

What about the following strategy: Find the first space that is large enough. If it is smaller than double the size of the required, take it. (A little more space is allocated than would be strictly needed.) If it larger than double the size, split it. This leaves a piece that is at least as big as the current size. Assuming that the allocations have some distribution, it is likely that another piece of memory with this size will be allocated in the future. In this way, the distribution of available spaces will remain about the same as the wanted spaces. (Of course, one should also first round up the size to some power of two and possibly implement a minimum size.)

> team orders for Bottas to lose to Hamilton are a meme in F1 (“Valtteri, it’s James”). After the season was underway, they really only let them race after Hamilton had secured the drivers championship.

Is this not an extension of "we win as a team, we lose as a team"? Would this be possible with the same consistency in teams where both drivers are in clear competition with each other for the seat next season?
This is probably a longer answer than you were looking for, but here's an example from my experience of a legitimate use for this API, which may give non-Android developers some insight into the unholy mess the Android platform is.

Android allows apps to draw transparent or translucent windows that can receive touch events and then pass them through to the window underneath. This has legitimate uses, such as using a tinted window to change the screen's color temperature. But it also has malicious uses, such as logging keystrokes or tricking users into changing settings when they think they're tapping targets in a game. This is called tapjacking and it's been a problem on Android for years.

On any reasonable platform, it would be the platform's responsibility to fix this bug. On Android, apps have to fend for themselves. So if you want to protect your app from tapjacking, you have to add code to every window you draw that checks whether the touch events it's receiving were forwarded by another app. But since there are legitimate uses for forwarding touch events (such as changing the color temperature), you can't just block forwarded events, otherwise your app will stop working whenever a color temperature app is active. The best you can do is ask the user whether they're using another app that might be drawing on top of your app, and if so, whether they your app to respond to touches when the other app's on top.

Clearly this a horrible question to present the user with, since many users won't be able to give an informed answer. But the alternative is that all the user's keystrokes get captured by malware, so what are you going to do?

To reduce the guesswork for the user, you can ask the system's package manager for a list of installed apps that have permission to draw on top of other apps. If you show the user this list when asking how they want your app to respond, maybe it will help the user to make an informed decision. It's still pushing responsibility for a platform bug onto the user, but at least the user has some information on which to base their decision.

The irony here is that it would clearly be better for privacy if this package manager method were removed - but it's needed as a workaround for an even worse privacy bug elsewhere in the API.

Welcome to Android development. Hope you packed a sense of humor.

You don't remove credit. You delay payments by 60 days.

And you don't have a command economy. Net 30 terms become Net 90 for a while. That's not a world-shattering explosion. Everyone who buys something has to pay -- they just have the option to pay a little bit later. Everyone who borrows something gets it free for a short while.

And there are two pieces that really make this work:

1. Much of that is offset by the current ~0% interest from the fed. Ultimately, if the 60 day gap kills you, then you chains (ultimately landing with banks) can borrow money with effectively zero interest.

2) Relationships matter. I don't think businesses will do douchebaggy things: Most want to keep employees, customers, and partners.
Which of those things do you think would help in this particular instance? Respond to a lack of tests by suspending habeus corpus? And Trump did exercise his powers to issue a travel ban; that was a good move that bought the US a week or so. Not enough to make up for the lack of tests. A comparable action to those you've listed would be to suspend the FDA and/or the CDC for a few months. That is the sort of decisive, broad-brush move that the executive can pull quickly. It probably would have made the situation even worse.

Technically speaking, if you wrote a timeline down and then passed it back to someone important back in January or early February someone could have easily done something. But there is a real fog of war where up until around the 6th of February the message would have been "everything is OK" and then the scale of the disaster would only have become apparent on about the 10th. Then about two weeks later testing starts to ramp up. A debacle, but a predictable one given that everything was being run in serial.

If the response was going to succeed, it should have been 5 different Biomed companies hear about COVID and start making tests independently, then the CDC ratifies one on the 6th Feb. It turns out to fail, so they move to the next supplier and the rollout proceeds on the 10th. The companies have their own logistics teams that have started making preparations for testing supplies and distribution before hand. Maybe a company president knows Trump as a golfing buddy and rings him up asking for a fast track approval. Maybe a New York Mayor screams loudly enough that a test gets approved even earlier. Greasy, ugly, political and much more effective than what actually happened.

The moment the decision was taken that the CDC was going to develop the first response test kit was the moment that the system failed. Everything that happened after that is mostly uncontrolled good or bad luck.
Management is ultimately responsible for everything. Even if you have the worst developer in the world on your team, management decided to hire them, retain them, assign them responsibility, and failed to improve their performance. That said, plenty of people are just self-serving dickheads. Could they be reformed? Probably. Is that the company’s responsibility? Only up to a point.

I’ve worked with people that I was responsible for training in DevOps, from a starting point of having only ever done GUI-based Ops. Basically starting from complete technical incompetence, and plenty of them succeeded, because they were good people with good attitudes. I’d wager a small team of people like that would always be more productive than a team of any sized comprised of arrogant, combative, CYA assholes.
