> I guess the flat-wealth-distribution case is most people grudgingly using some economy-of-scale option leveraging the people with more patience for this kind of work, and a few control freaks either doing it themselves or economizing elsewhere to pay for a boutique option.

That can be said of practically every industry. They are all segmented by cost/quality, whether that quality is real or perceived.

That said, the goal behind reducing wealth and income disparities isn't to flatten them completely, it's to put a floor under the standard of living of those at the bottom of the wealth/income distribution. That doesn't mean everyone will be consuming boutique products and services, but it means that latent demand, currently repressed by lack of income/wealth, will become active demand, and money velocity in the economy will increase.
Nope, it was a political battle that labor lost.
All the small social networks I'm on are paid for by someone out of pocket. The fundamental problem with the ad supported web is everything paid for by advertisers turns to shit.
I mean, it depends on what "their own distributions" entails. Adding customized branding or extra localizations or a different mix of preinstalled apps to a popular distro like Ubuntu/Debian or Fedora/CentOS or what have you seems perfectly reasonable.
And maybe it was; maybe the colour space aspect also was.

Testing combinations of edges is not so common/obvious.
Second that, I wanted to display the photos from my DSLR on a map. The photos weren't geotagged, so I had to find a way to add the locations. Ended up writing a script that matches the photos from the DSLR with the geolocations from my Google location history. Worked well enough, but geotagging should really be a standard feature in any camera these days.
How is this different from "we have some artists and a couple of copies of maya/max/blender/whatever and we'll build and render product shots for you"?

Ricoh GR is another good choice. It's a crop sized sensor in a pocketable body. It's pretty much the perfect travel camera for most people.

That's exactly how I treat cards with MVP.css. Note: "aside" doesn't mean it visually needs to be "on the side", just complimentary to the body content.

When I saw the capitalized Teams in the heading, I was excited for a minute, because this would be a great add-on for Microsoft Teams. Alas it appears to be 'yet another thing to install and run in the background'.

Any plans to provide the functionality as an add-on for other communications apps?
You have always had the need to look at the buttons, like reaching out to the radio.

That is definitely not true. Volume on the left, tuner on the right, and of the five preset buttons, WFBQ is the one in the middle. You could feel for all of that without your eyes leaving the road. What might have happened is that you came of age after utilitarian radios. For example, I had to give some serious looking in order to find a DIN2 radio that had CarPlay and a physical on/off/volume control. Or just a physical on/off button, not some software button buried five menu levels deep. Such jackassery used to be the exception, not the new rule.

Climate control? Heat control on left, blower the middle, and position (where it blows) on the right. Or some combination thereof. Our utilitarian Mercedes Sprinter RV has it right. Other, less utilitarian vehicles: meh, not so much.

I could go on. But I've never been required to let my eyes leave the road for functionality until the last ten years or so. $DEITY help you if you need to switch Bluetooth devices while driving our Leaf: seven screen touches to pull that off, with plenty of opportunity along the way to make a wrong choice. No wonder it won't allow you to do it while moving.
Disagree, the country went off the rails with Newt Gingrich. He was the beginning of the end of moderates in this country.
I don't think critical vs noncritical is the important distinction for cars. It's distracting vs not distracting. The physical knobs and stuff in my car I don't have to look for to use. A touchscreen button requires much more careful finding and pressing since you can't just root around for it.

If I start putting some stuff into your tapwater, or into the air around your house, and you feel convinced it's going to cause you harm, but I insist that it's perfectly safe, what standard of proof do you think you should have to put together to stop me from doing that? And what would need to constitute harm?

If it didn't hurt humans but just insects that you're fond of, or just the ozone layer that protects you from radiation, or just the climate that you've come to enjoy, what standard of proof is needed?
he's saying that the monopoly aspect earns more much's of money for more much's of people, and therefore it's much much more than the startup aspect is much more.

i.e. you can join a startup that is already successful (the winner has been picked, Amazon, Google, Uber, ...) and safely with less variance expect to gain more expected value than you'll on average get from trying to pick the next winner. If you say "but startups are win win" then I'll say "but he's saying monopolists are win win win"

Microsoft was already an OS monopoly by 1990, but after that is when it really started to make real money, and for a lot more people than had worked there in the 80's. Because monopolizing a niche industry is nothing compared to growing the monopoly to mainstream acceptance.

you don't have to agree with his assessment; I'm just trying to clarify that he is saying something, not just selecting a point on a gaussian.

Not my proposal. Regardless, a case is being made that Google is in a position to ensure its analytics services comply with the GDPR when a browser has been put into a mode clearly intended to opt out of tracking.

Other websites or services may be able to say they can't control how those browsers in such modes communicate that intent. Google cannot.

If you're an authoritarian government and want to compromise them to report on users, yes. Most more liberal countries could and should use standard distros.

Some listed countries are banned or blocked from major company services that might be default on a normal distro, such as Google or GitHub as well. So beyond just setting country-relevant defaults, using a standard distro may present problems for some countries.

So you're the one messing up my sessions analysis :p
September 2016 - Microsoft moves its German headquarters to Munich[36]

February 2017 - Politicians discuss proposals to replace the Linux-based OS used across the council with a Windows 10-based client.[37]

October 2017 - Once seen as a stalwart supporter of open source, the city council last week said that running a Linux-based operating system on its PCs would not be cost efficient in the long run.[38]

November 2017 - The city council decided that LiMux will be replaced by a Windows-based infrastructure by the end of 2020. The costs for the migration are estimated to be around 90 million Euros.[39]

May 2020 - Newly elected politicians in Munich take a U-turn and implement a plan to go back to the original plan of migrating to LiMux.[40]

Sweet. I already have a Chrome extension for my search engine, Bugout: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/bugout/pmfkjbfklik...

Will probably add summarization functionality directly to that extension.

Thanks for the suggestion :)
Sweet !

Not just jobs for consultants, this would be a shot in the arm for all opensource tech. Over time, we could have a greater adoption of open source databases, BI tools and whatnot. This could lead more support for open source, more monetisation opportunities.

IMO, this is a great start and if more public institutions were to follow in the same vein, would lead to a virtuous cycle.
I believe the root issue here is that Germany has more than one city.
But what do you do when it starts basing everything on statistics or something less/not compassionate to life? And who determines what metrics and data it uses to make its decisions?

Zorlot-19 has decided to end the lives of everyone over 90 and that drinks mountain dew because its determined its a net negative on.. what, GDP, mortality rate, fertility rates, tax rates..

Seems like a compassionate overlord would be great but we've fallen for that a few thousand times in history.

No, they’re soft landings for talented people in failing businesses.
Why not?

If this is about trust, then it makes sense that you don't choose between trusting a corporation or a group of hobbyists, but take control and eliminate one layer of things to trust altogether. Bonus points, you get control too and don't have to fight upstream to pursue and care about your interests.

I'm amazed that there are people out there who think we have a choice. I would not have my most important clients if I refused to sign non-solicitation clauses.
Lots of executives aren't judged on their final contribution to the bottom line but the size of their 'empire' or project 'successes' they can point to.

There are also plenty of examples of work that is profitable to a company but that doesn't create value to consumers:

* Campaign Donations / Lobbying for favourable regulations.

* Softbank style monopoly creation (it's just moving investor money to consumers).

* Patent Trolls and lots of semi-patent trolling games. (Think Amazon buying Kiva)

* Misleading / Emotive advertising. (Which I'd argue is the majority of it.)

If you're hell bent on thinking markets are inherently fair you can contort yourself to show these things _can_ be productive but to think they're always productive?
It’s not blame. It’s just another step of the process.

We have a long history of empowering and protecting police - both culturally and legally. There are limits to what that process youdescribed will allow. The police department/union will never enact certain reforms or give up certain powers willingly, so they won’t make it into the contract. The state government leadership will investigate/demand reforms/potentially file civil rights violations against the police department - but if the department is obstinate in the face of those changes - the federal government has stronger incentives to enact reforms that the community, the governor, and the legislature want.
No, then it would be an acquisition.
Windows, Office and Win Server (AD) make a combo that is quite difficult to replace.

But if these cities are smart, they would pool their resources together to fund common tools. All the bits and pieces are already here. What is needed is a solid package that can be deployed and maintained easily, with user friendly GUI.
One data point: The police have been largely disabled/distracted over the last few days in a number of places. Part of the result seems to have been an explosion of property damage, theft, savage assaults, and a few murders.
Ha, OBS was the straw that broke the camels back on my work laptop, performance-wise. Built an AMD desktop system and it’s been glorious - forgot what I was missing. Now the laptop mostly sits in a bag.
Didnt we sanction Iran for no reason? Seems the right thing to do is ignore US sanctions when seeing unjust actions.
Far too simplistic of an analysis.

> That's their free choice to make.

I don't disagree with the US action here, and Huawei is as bad as it gets, but calling it a "free choice" is absurd. It's like saying, it's your free choice to not use google or facebook to advertise your consumer-facing product.

It's not about it being a devil's bargain of a free choice -- there is no choice here. It's about flaunting the rules because you don't have any ethical standards, or believe yourself to be above them. And the US doesn't really care much about this specific flaunting. Bank fraud was so much the norm that it led to the 2008 housing crash. Our current president almost certainly has a lot to worry about if bank fraud means you can be detained on 3rd party foreign soil.

Huawai isn't an independent actor, held accountable to international corporate standards; it is a part of the Chinese state. Meng's arrest was not a mere crime of bank fraud, but a high profile political action. That China took "reciprocal" action is enough evidence of that, regardless of any personal opinion on the matter.

Schwarzenegger would be a walk-in, regardless of which party he gets behind him.

There is a parallel reality where Democrats pushed hard to change the eligibility rules during Obama’s second term, selected Ahnold, and continued the Obama legacy of slow-going, moderate social progress. Sadly we are in a darker timeline.
A lot of evidences show that what got Trump elected can be resumed in one word: racism.

I've seen this chain of reasoning a few times from different people now, and I have no idea how it follows: "someone broke a rule, so we have to throw out all the rules now."

The claim that lockdowns are somehow invalid now just says that, since we have experienced some setbacks on epidemic controls, we must throw epidemic controls out the window. I'm not seeing the logical connection. If a medical patient misses a dose of medication, doctors don't stop treating the patient.

We couldn't stop protests from happening. We've tried gassing the protestors, yelling at them, shooting them, beating them, and pushing them around with cars and riot shields, and those control measures haven't been completely successful. We may also have some legal protections for this kind of activity, I think.

And if the plight of people who live in daily fear of being curb-stomped or killed by the police is the same as your desire for a haircut, either your haircuts are very expensive or your well-being is only worth $20.

Awesome story. Where did you find this head of sales, and how'd you convince them to work at your company? I know you said the tech was special but was that really all that it took to convince them? Was there more at play (eg. Attractive company culture, industry, etc)?
There certainly are marketing "gurus" who are nothing more than conmen. But skilled marketers also come across "founders" with nothing but a shitty MVP (or even just an idea), an inflated sense of their own ability, and grossly exaggerated expectations of the potential of their product to change the world, if only a marketer would "partner" with them to build a brand and traffic. It's a huge risk for a marketer to invest months of time in a product that could go nowhere because the founder is a flake or the engineering doesn't work out — all on commission with no stock options if everything comes together.
You must not have watched the Democratic presidential primary debates, when candidates spoke to a national audience about reparations for slavery, drug legalization, sex work legalization, a universal basic income, wealth taxes, banning private health insurance and so much more. Obama was a transitionary figure who oversaw a lot of changes (like same sex marriage, marijuana legalization, the rise of BLM and the Me Too movement) but the party as a whole has kept running downfield, leaving President Obama in the dust.

If you watched those debates - or paid close attention to the direction the Republican party has been moving - you'd understand why your argument that they are "slightly better Republicans" sounds outdated to the point of absurdity.
I think people would realize they're not that different from those other people in that other place -- they all share the same main problems.

And maybe people would realize they're being manipulated by media and the "presidents" who own the media -- those presidents tend to get more votes, the more afraid people are for each other.

“You do know that most Republicans feel the same way about Republican politicians”

I know that. And that’s what gave us Trump. Both parties have to pretend doing something for the little guy while being dependent on pleasing their big money donors. That’s why they can’t take a clear position.

Trump just upped the game with his rhetoric. Most Trump voters I know like him because they think he isn’t part of the corrupt establishment. You can argue whether that’s true or not but that’s what people think.
In that case, HSBC should be held liable for damages and should sue the party in order to recover them. If they cannot recover damages in that jurisdiction then they should either stop operating there or stop operating in the US.

It's pretty much indefensible to me that someone that has nothing to do with the US operating outside the US would be tried in the US for a crime they allegedly commited elsewhere.
I am also frustrated with Google's communication apps. Strategy is one thing, execution is another ;)
Of course they do! People want sensationalism. The reality is that do it right 999 times out of a 1000 and the one time you fail it ends up all over the news. We can't honestly expect perfection from our police forces, but we can hope the failures with be learned from and punished accordingly.
I like that in general, but I would suggest not to use dates in folders - the date is automatically in the file properties of the folder so you can sort by it.

By all means keep a number in the folder name, if the number is meaningful, but also keep a human understandable name in there. That helps when you can't remember if it was the fifth show or whatever, maybe you can remember the name when you see it.

Or maybe I am missing something?

Or, to put it another way, the surfaces of the Earth closest to and farthest away from the Moon are traveling at the same orbital velocity around the center of the Earth/Moon system. However, they should be in different orbits; the point closest to the Moon is too slow for the orbit it is in and the point farthest away is too fast. The former wants to into a lower orbit while the latter wants to go into a higher orbit.

I guess it's a whole lot easier to repeat the effort (Even if it seems wasteful) than getting multiple countries / governments / languages and funding situations organized around one project.

Probably just easier to do it on your own and if at some point one of the distributions is gaining some momentum maybe then others will adopt it and send patches upstream.
