I was thinking exactly this, 8 years ago.
I moved from an imac + mbpro to linux only.

It took longer than expected. I even intended to buy put options, but someone I trust told me otherwise and to invest in equity instead, which I did, because I know that most buy decisions are not made rationally.

But it looks like the time has come now?
On the other hand, I have been off by several years before.
People are crazier than you think, especially when it comes to status and association with brands and self-confirmation of past decisions. They might well put up with Apples moves for a few more years.
why the unnecessary obscurity?
All of them. You only pay for the ongoing connection/overall throughput/capacity. The entire world will be able to hit any server I put up and expose to the Net, and the content being served flows on through the ISP being none the wiser; despite excessive legislative and executive efforts to encourage otherwise.

Now, you've got the potential for QoS shenanigans, but I'm certain most people would wake up to the hard and fast line being crossed. Or I could be wrong and they'd just shake their heads disappointingly as my clearly by that point undesirable self was dragged out into the street and beaten half to death for daring to suggest that people should be able to communicate freely.
It's absolutely Youtube's fault. Nothing in the existing body of law requires them to proactively block copyrighted material from their platform. They only have to act on DMCA takedown notices in the required timeframe.

Their automation obsession has resulted in a firehose of erroneous takedowns that 100% aren't required by law, and they deserve all the ridicule and damage to their business that comes with that.
It’s maddening and idiotic. People are human. The most productive people are working 40 or 50% of the time. Most people are productive even less of the time. They also need some privacy.

So, what they’re doing is making people work harder at being lazy-taking away from productive time!

But it’s easy for managers to fall into a pattern that has them lording over their paiges and feeling good.
The way I put it is, "the engine isn't really done until the game is." So many polish features in games lead to new categories of assets, which in turn need new methods of rendering.

This is one of the multitude of reasons that so many older game devs reach for the C++ compiler; they don't know what the game will need, but they do know they can make the necessary modifications to ship if they approach it bottom-up.

Google Drive is a consumer product (+), not really the same use case or target market as S3. Consumers probably don't want to deal with variable charges on their card depending on how many people they shared a file with. Certainly I (as a consumer) wouldn't want to deal with a complicated price model like that.

(+) And business productivity suite product, but I think the same mostly applies there.

If you have one market where your acquisitions costs are lower per $ in sales than all other markets, you are literally losing money on every $ you invest in sales for any other market. Your intuition for how this works is simply incorrect.
They don't give a shit if you're not using an Apple monitor. Witness the ProDisplay, which doesn't even have a power button, and talks to the computer to turn on.
Can you quote where this article says the file was deleted from Google Drive? (it doesn't, but goes to great effort to disguise this fact).
Browser vs chrome point is moot. Both namespaces exists in Firefox and there’s a polyfill to bring the browser namespace into chrome if you want to use promises over function callbacks. https://github.com/mozilla/webextension-polyfill
But the reason why FB or any firm would be willing to pay you extra for living in SF is if you can actually show up to an office in SF.

Otherwise you offer no differentiation as a remote worker except for time zone, language, and legal or political nuance.

Same! They tried to make the Initech office look as bland and dispiriting as possible, but by 2020 standards it looks pretty good :)
It really is jarring when you see your regularly visited websites without ad blocking. A news site that I look at has infinite scrolling ads of those "Dentists everywhere are furious about this trick" with a picture of an avocado boiling in water or something equally ridiculous. I realize that ad blocking does take money away from site operators, and I do pay for many of the news sites that I frequent. But honestly a site that is willing to blast me with ads about how I can cheat my insurance company with ONE SIMPLE TRICK doesn't deserve money from my clicks. And I do get that they often can't choose what ads are shown. Perhaps that's the bigger issue.

Edit: elaborated on my final point.
No Sally from Oblivion "are we an effective team"
I like this approach but I'm not entirely sold on it. In her example, the `category-validations` is branched off from `category-db` and there will be two separate PRs. If you start receiving reviews for `category-db` PR and you make those changes then you'll have to rebase it onto the `category-validations` and resolve any conflicts. This will be many times harder if a different developer works on `category-validations` branch.

That being said, I can't think of any elegant ways to solve this.
Without content blockers on iOS it has some garbage google ad or something advertising 5 cures for arthritis and something called nutreance. I wonder how many people get a fake Covid cure advertised there since that seems to be the level of advertiser.
Please don’t reduce talks of worker collective action into a shibboleth of “%online_community% is turning into Reddit”. We can do better than that.

Another way to look at it is that Apple is making it harder to run the system in an insecure fashion. You may not agree with that decision, but I certainly appreciate how Apple is looking out for the safety and security of the user.

Tangent: as much as some developers hate that the only way to distribute apps for the iPhone is through the App Store, as a user I consider that walled garden of apps to be a real security benefit. When John Gruber says “If you must use Zoom or simply want to use it, I highly recommend using it on your iPad and iPhone only. The iOS version is sandboxed and reviewed by the App Store.” There’s a reason why he can say things like that and it’s because Apple draws a hard line in the sand that not everyone will be happy with.
> And if I thought someone was spying on me, I would check the inside of my toaster last.

I assume that organizations that spy for a living learn from their previous mistakes and the natural selection effect means that the obvious places to plant bugs are skipped.
DNA doesn't have a "half-life," there's no consistent inverse exponential decay that continues in perpetuity. It's like saying what's the half-life of a steak? Degradation depends on conditions.
I was recently cutting a path through an area that's been left go wild for 15 years. I've gone at it from both ends but there s patch in the middle that I'm leaving for now. It's an area filled with some kind of flowering weed that looks a bit like white bluebells only with much greater density of flowers. It's alive with bees and and I neither want to be stung nor want to deprive them of food. I figure a narrow path through it leaving the weeds at both sides once they've stopped collecting pollen this year.
I think the point translates just fine.

What I read was, "Siri doesn't give me exactly what I want by perfectly understanding my own personal bias that London means, London, England, so I am going to post a blog complaining about it, while simultaneously cracking a joke that I would terminate someone's employment if they made a basic mistake." Which I took to be pretty unproductive conversation.

Still, point made. OP would be terrible to work for and Siri could potentially use some improvements in accuracy.
The argument isn't that that point of view is correct. The argument is that it should be allowed to be presented.
These are great points. I'd like to add some more to them:

On minified source code, Extensions/Add-Ons are allowed to be deployed with minified source code as long as you provide the unminified versions to Google/Mozilla during review time.

On chrome vs. browser namespaces, a quick 'let chrome = browser;' can help you keep the diffs small between versions. I have yet to find a complete solution to fixing 'forked code' between Google/Mozilla Extensions/Add-Ons.

Also, storage mechanisms between browsers using the same extension code can be completely different. Beware if you're using caches, navigator.storage, and storage.local.

Finally, extensions don't consider themselves secure, depending on the browser. moz-extension:// is not considered secure for cache access, whereas chrome-extension:// is.

There lots of little 'gotchas' like these when developing browser extensions. :)

> The headline seems intentionally misleading

How so?

> and the entire article is biased

As are most articles on the topic, from either side.

More importantly: is what they say not essentially true?

What matters more: who's "side" someone is on, or what is true?
> I'm not sure why Firefox just doesn't build adblocking into the browser as a first class feature - maybe because they rely on the Google funding?

I am glad that they do not. I doubt that mozilla would be able to make anything nearly as good as ublock origin.
They already tried something similar with "tracker blocking" - it is uncustomizable and generally inferior to ublock.

But is there a narrative that the federal government has a side channel way to deliver high quality intelligence to Google and Microsoft executives? How does it happen?
While I'm not familiar with BitChute, a large part of Steemit's issues boil down to their choice of consensus mechanism: delegated proof-of-stake (dPOS), rather than a fault with a p2p model generally. Many decentralized projects stay away from dPOS, as it can lead to the cartel-like structure that's currently plaguing the platform.
I think you should ask instead "if not for viscosity".

And I think the answer is yes, for reasons of momentum. If you try to push air out of the way it in turn needs to move other air, etc, etc. Even with zero viscosity, it still needs to to that, which means the pressure goes up, and will therefor heat up.

> If rich people who know less have higher SAT scores than poor people who know more

This considers only academic knowledge, and specifically only that knowledge that can be assessed in a standardized way.

Such knowledge makes up a very small fraction of success -- though you could make the argument that students' ability to acquire and demonstrate it probably correlates with success much more than the knowledge itself.

Second, why would you want to go to college with a bunch of other kids who just meet some bar on some measure of academic capability? At least in the US, college is most kids' first experience living away from home for an extended period of time. Wouldn't you want to be with driven individuals, interesting conversationalists, performers, intellectual peers across other disciplines, etc.?

Why limit admissions to "book smarts"? Why is that the most fair?
I've heard many good things about Cloudfare Workers.

Excuse my ignorance & N00Bness, but are they essentially a Cloudfare version of AWS Lambdas, Google Cloud Functions and Netlify functions, or are they something different/better?
I’m fairly sure there is more to it from a technique perspective. Works like the Visuddhimagga and the Vimuttimagga explain the whole “focus on one thing / focus on breath” thing in extraordinary detail, and I consider these basically a forgotten technology. I have found these micro-steps to be really helpful in learning to meditate more deeply but are almost entirely ignored in the Western explanations and meditation apps.

That said, the traditional texts are still hard to parse. I’ve considered writing a manual-to-the-manual of sorts that explains the same concepts but in a modern way. I should mention that Leigh Brasington has some really awesome content out there (videos, books, and articles). I am not a master meditator, but if that sort of a thing exists, Leigh is.
No, it isn't important. What's important is how to answer the question that was asked. The number of time zones in a state has nothing to do with the time in a location. You just need to disambiguate what location is the subject of the question.
Ask HN: Dorsey Warns AI to Effect Junior SWE Candidates; Advice for CS Majors?

Anecdotically, I develop inside a container using Docker for Mac, and don't have any performance issues. I think it depends on what exactlty you're developing, in particular filesystem access patterns.
Put 5G connection in a SoC, and then have vendors use it under the guise of the toaster needing a CPU for timers and making perfect toast with machine learning, whatnot.

Using a microphone to listen to other devices is more of a hack that hobbyists would do to monitor some dumb devices in their custom home automation network. I'd be surprised to ever see it in an IoT device; I think it's too unreliable.

(Not to mention, a toaster listening to a fire alarm is a bit absurdish as systems architecture. But then again, I've given up on expecting the market to deliver intelligent solutions to actual problems.)
you need to generate some 3d graphs and after that write a paper about using gradient descent to improve the WLB of SW developers :)

our team had 7 people and at some point we started sharing the oncall load with a sister team (ie you were oncall for the services on both teams), meaning that you would be oncall roughly once every 3 months. not ideal - but not the worst thing in the world.
It has not been proven Google does that for all 4GB files. Verboten content or not.

Without that test, you really can't conclusively say whether it is QoS enforcement or politically motivated.
Both of those add-ons are quickly becoming irrelevant. Privacy Badger, because Firefox and Safari have tracker blocking built-in, and HTTPS Everywhere, because HSTS preloading is standard in all of the major browsers.
Article just quotes 9 paragraphs from an Arizona opinion.

Key Facts:

1. Plaintiff CDK sells a "Dealer Management System" which is some data portal for car dealers. Historically, CDK prohibited dealers from allowing third parties to access the portal.

2. Arizona legislature required CDK to develop an API for third parties to access the portal and banned the third party access restrictions.

CDK's Arguments:

1. Banning third party access restrictions is the same thing as compelling CDK to share information, which is compelled speech. The content of the speech is the format of the data on their portal. CDK cited a case [1] where SCOTUS said you can't compel a news organization to include a particular political candidate in a debate. Court did not buy this because the cited case was about "editorial discretion" and this does not smell like an editorial discretion case.

2. Code is speech, and forcing us to develop an API is compelled speech. CDK cites several cases to support that [2,3,4,5]. The court says two things. First, the API requirement does not actually require CDK to write code. Second, code is speech only when "a programmer might be said to communicate through the code," which "goes beyond code's capacity to instruct a computer." Again this is a smell test that basically asks "is the programmer expressing themself?"

I feel great joy coding C++, more than any other language. C++ is built to be used. Every part of it was put in to solve real problems, and they do. I can write thousands of lines of code, and when it finally builds, the program works first time.
Which rule is "vibe" again?

Thanks for looking into my Reddit post creep, I feel totally weird about you now.
No, the SATs are by far the most objective criteria, to not realize this, is to miss the point entirely.

That 'rich kids to better' is a more nuanced thing, not a fundamental flaw, because, after all, that 'rich kids do better' at the SATs and everything else, means that they are actually first-order better candidates for the school.

It's only when you take into consideration the secondary objectives, that the flaws in SATs become evident.

Now, of secondary objectives such as 'economic and racial composition' become the 'primary objective' - then objectively academic exercises like the SAD, grades etc. become irrelevant.

There is the possibility that SAT's are actually a distraction, that and that there might be a better way of determining ability - most of the rest of the world does it somehow.

Some sites can be fooled using tools such as uMatrix which block elments at finer granular level, but is tedious to configure and not very friendly to non technical users. If I can't stop junk on a site that way, unless the information is really vital, I usually close the tab and forget about it.
Then we should shut down videos on the internet entirely, because 500 hours of video per minute is not something anyone can manually moderate. We would all love to live in an utopia where everything works perfectly and there's a solution to every problem, but that's not realistic.
It’s way more rewarding to use ublock’s little picker to block their overlay :) if that doesn’t work though, nope - close and move on.
this type of victim playing by knowing fraudsters is becoming the modern day 'hack' of the concept of free speech and really needs a counter.

The problem is that there is no counterargument to an argument made in bad faith.

Indeed, but (at least in the US), you can't really do that without running afoul of the first amendment, presenting content is just a form of speech. Government restrictions on speech are the thing that everyone's afraid of, right?
> freedom from consequences of speech

Obviously? Freedom of speech that doesn't protect you from consequences, ex. prison time, is an utterly worthless "freedom".
Is it still Podcasting when Spotify doesn't even have the functionality to automatically download new episodes to your device? Wasn't this, like, the whole point of Podcasts in the first place? Subscribe, and as long as you sync (== plug in) your iPod before you leave the house, it'll have all of the new podcasts you want to listen to?

I mean, yeah, I get it, phones have data plans, but still. I LOVE Spotify, I'm a family plan subscriber, etc etc. But I'm not interested in my rates going up to pay for access to content I don't care about and could get for free if I did.

I tried to switch over to Spotify as a podcast app when Sonos ditched the ability to stream from your phone (the AirPlay2 cutover), but Spotify's podcast functionality is virtually nonexistent.

I wonder which will come first: AI that is truly able to teach itself about our world, or that we are able to define algorithms or otherwise figure out software solutions to most of these these context problems. Of course, if an AI is intelligent enough that problem solves itself.

To me it seems that developing AI on that level will be here sooner than developing solutions to many context problems, given the difficulty the best funded algorithms in the world have answering this question which we humans see as very simple.
How about it's totally ineffective? OCSP is pointless if you "soft fail" when the OCSP server can't be reached. [1]
