Some folks will be willing to pay more for “perfect” produce — even for bananas as an example there’s a need for a slider of green to yellow that is really relevant.

These are all valid points, and we’re keenly aware that trust is central to our offering. On the subject of trust, I’d love to get your take on my response to hlieberman’s comment as I agree that it’s very important.

On the pricing front, our goal is to make the service cost-competitive when you take into account the positive security externalities, but in particular the huge time sink that teams and companies put into deploying, distributing and managing a typical VPN solution. This is a big reason why we’re so focused on ease of use.

Re:BeyondCorp, I brought it up as a comparison point in my blog post, but I don’t want to appear to be making claims that our product is currently a 1:1 BeyondCorp replacement. One of the next things on our roadmap is to start exposing device inventory and posture checks as management options in the product to start getting closer to a full BeyondCorp-like offering.

However, a key insight we had in working with early beta customers is that there is significant pain to address even without getting all the way to a full zero trust / BeyondCorp state. That’s a big reason we decided to launch our product now, even before we’ve had the opportunity to add functionality we know will need to be added in the future.

I think it's a natural effect of internet expansion. Stick 7B humans in a room together and you'll get a lot of noise because the world is a big place and events are literally happening everywhere all at once. Some find opportunity in that because the real world power is still trapped in spatially localized social networks and the internet can't reliably pierce that realm. Secrets are valuable.

The noise we interact with is the intersection of waves created half a world away and the waves we create or come into contact with locally. The best perspective to maintain, in my opinion, is that local is the most important. If you were under immediate threat of death (eg a stranger with a knife in your home), you probably wouldn't care what's happening in DC, you'd be 100% focused on the danger in front of you. I measure that as "more important". The problem is in distant or murky danger, where you don't want to be caught off-guard. You have to be able to gauge your ability to adapt and achieve safety in comparison to the magnitude of danger, then limit your anxieties. Do what you can to be prepared and accept the rest. (This is what I have learned from a lifelong anxiety disorder).

There is also no general mechanism for making sense of the massive amount of information being produced, so it's overwhelming. Google attacks the problem as an indexing tool (I'm sure they're attempting to become a generally intelligent agent). Wikipedia is a curated collection of humanity's abstract knowledge. Neither describes causality of arbitrary macroeconomic events though. If there was one broadly accepted source of truth then we'd all cling to it like a life raft.
You're cheapening what slavery is. It's honestly pretty disgusting to equate serfdom to slavery. They aren't even in the same league.

There are a few problems with online groceries.

1. Out-of-stock substitutions. It depends on which low wage workers is picking the substitutes. They always pick items that are either bigger or more expensive than what we ordered if they can but that doesn't always mean better.

1a. Out-of-stock, no substitutions. I suspect that this also depends on the worker. Before the pandemic, I just don't believe that the store is completely out of the items and any suitable alternatives. I think the worker just got lazy.

2. Shopping by pictures can be deceiving. We once ordered greens from the produce section. What we ended up with was enormous 2 foot stalks of greens rather than the "normal-sized" product. It wasn't the store's fault. It's just hard to tell the difference from a picture.

3. Not receiving part of the order. There have a few times from different places that we did not receive our whole order and we had to return (45 minute drive one way) to the store to get it. It was just store error and we weren't that diligent about checking every single bag before we left the store.

All that being said, I think it is generally better than shopping in store. I think it's less emotional and more planned and therefore almost always cheaper.

Not really. The license says you are not allowed to take notes about work you get compensated for. So free only for 100% hobby projects.

I listen to short wave radio, and my radio itself is an excellent RFI detector. I just wandered around the house with it holding it up to things until I identified the problem. The only things really emitting lots of RF were LED and CFI bulbs, and a couple cheap power supplies for Netgear info-appliances.
I didn't see any evidence backing up their estimates nor any number that represent how many former S&P 500 companies go out of business. The studies I could find listed some of the companies that fell out of the S&P500 and AFAICT most of them still exist.

I would be careful about taking McKinsey's carefully crafted quotes and projections at face value. 'Disappeared' is intentionally vague. They also intentionally use age of a company when talking about the past and tenure on the S&P500 when talking about the future to make the numbers seem more dramatic[1]. It's part of their sales pitch - "it's harder than ever to run a company so you should really hire a consulting company to save you".

That is interesting, but if you shift ten years back from there, the kids from that time went through:

* Operation Desert Storm

* The early 1990s post-war recession, and its jobless recovery

* The Asian and Russian recessions (and the LTCM collapse) and knock-on effects

Go back 10 years from that and you have:

* Early 1980s recession

It's not an argument against HTTPS.

If you use HTTPS, you know you're talking to the site you think you're talking to. If that site itself is sharing data in a way you don't want, including by pulling in third-party scripts, you have a problem with the site. That's not an argument against HTTPS; communicating in cleartext doesn't solve that problem, it just means that other people the site doesn't trust can also access that data.

Let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good here. Universal HTTPS is an improvement.

The short term price theory requires that anyone selling at those short term high prices is selling to someone convinced that prices will go higher in the future, i.e. that you've tricked them.

Price volatility is an indication that either economic conditions are changing rapidly which affects the long term prospects, or that people are very unsure about what the long term prospects are.

It is not an indication that companies are being rewarded for eating their seed corn.

BTW, years ago, I knew a CEO who believed in manipulating the accounts to boost the short term at the expense of the long term. He made the mistake of telling the press he was doing this. The stock immediately tanked.

If the short term pricing theory was correct, the stock would have risen.

Then we have companies like Amazon, who explicitly say they are sacrificing short term profits for long term growth. The result? The stock price has soared to incredible heights.
They can package the ads in band with the content, although DOM based blocking might still work—at some point we’re going to have to write an ad detection AI just to use the internet.

Why is it that most of this apps are all following the same road feature-road? Some markup-language and a preview or a low richtext-mode and some simple filesystem-like organisation or even worse. The better ones have sometimes ability for internal linking or nowadays alternate views like graphs. More and more comes some basic plugin-support, mostly for editing or simple stuff, but hardly more.

How is it that none of them are offering advanced feature for automation? Or mature levels of organisations? Or some serious interface-ability?
> On a phone, you've only got a couple inches to view at a time.

Even more reason to ensure the more expensive items are viewed first.

> And I still don't understand difference between featured and store pick btw.

Cynic it me would say: there might be no difference, and this may be just intended to confuse people who would otherwise just ignore "store pick".
If I could have "near-perfect" online shopping for a $5-10 delivery charge... Sure. The one time I've really tried it was when I had a broken foot and doing a full grocery shopping was a PITA. So I used delivery. I'd get most of what I needed with some questionable substitutions. But that was mostly OK because driving to the store and picking up a few things in a shoulder bag wasn't a big deal. Just a full grocery shopping was.

I haven't even tried in the current situation. If I go relatively early on a weekday, I find it pretty manageable and uncrowded.
It was difficult, but I was able to evolve a line. It didn’t let me go further, unfortunately. Would’ve been cool to evolve a point.

>Are you implying that since we can't audit every single thing, auditing anything is useless?

No, I am pointing out that your statement implying one can know if there's anything unusual in the code can be found by an audit. It cannot. And most of the activity by big companies is not in code, it's in data, and "auditing" it is currently beyond anything on the near horizon. Some of the behavior is un-auditable in the Halting Problem sense - i.e., the things you'd want to know are non-computable.
>I don't think it's outlandish for someone to give you a bruised apple
And apparently grocery stores put people with opinions like yours in charge of packing produce boxes, which leads to lost sales. Nobody's arguing that they're inedible, but how much of a discount is the retailer prepared to offer me for accepting his low grade produce?

TL;DR: limiting freedom of expression in name of national security, without a just trial.

Stretching a bit, we call it the freedom from fear (of unjust prosecution), which is the—arguably justified—distrust of the rule by law in China (not the rule of law that Hong Kong previously had). Note that Hong Kong people are using “Freedom from Fear” [1] differently from how US is using it [2].

Chinese courts work very differently from Hong Kong ones: they swing with politics. Many people have been—as perceived by Hong Kongers—unjustly detained or prosecuted (such as the milk powder incidents [3], the two Canadians in China after the Huawei case [4], or the more recent whistleblower Li Wenliang). And those people, in some cases, are sued for charges such as spying or subversion, which is the main theme of the national security law.

Given that Chinese agents extracted Hong Kongers in the Causeway Bay Books disappearances [5], Hong Kongers fear that the new national security law (which allows state agents to police Hong Kong [6]) means that Hong Kongers (and perhaps foreigners) may face state agents extraction from Hong Kong. To many Hong Kongers, voicing out for social injustice could mean instability in China, and could mean theft of state secret or subversion as CCP see it.

Hence it is limiting freedom of speech.

No bullshit, just focused on the text and reading.

Hoping that more authors take this route when releasing stuff for the web.

This! And also even once you find something in a GUI how do you record that and share to somebody else (including you in the future)?

This is not to point fingers and be an ass but people in the US need to realize the difference between a right and a privilege when it comes to free speech.

You have the right to free speech. That's not disputed. You are entitled to it. However you don't have the right to distribute that free speech on a private companies platform, that's a privilege offered by the owners not a entitlement.

It's very simple. Like it or not, that's your constitution.

Lets just play this out.. The president of the US (a supposed conservative) closes down one of the largest private companies in the US.. Not for doing something illegal as with `SilkRoad` for example.. But for practicing their own business policies.

Does that sound right to anyone ?
I would be fine with a public ministry of truth. Atleast we will have the free speech rights.

Wo have given too much power to these private companies.

Indeed, my first homepage was on Homestead IIRC, using the online WYSIWYG builder. It was terribly hard to get consistent results, but it worked. And got me into learning HTML4.
