> Drug addicts will continue to be drug addicts, and will do crazy things while they're high, and crazy things in order to get money to get high. Such people will continue to interact with non-criminal non-addict people, who will feel threatened. But now the police won't be there. Now what?

As someone who has had many of these encounters, I've never had the police help. At best they'll show up a half hour later and take a report. The police were never "there" in any meaningful sense.

> because (for all their flaws) they are still less trigger-happy than a frightened gun-owner who feels threatened by an encounter with some strange-acting person

Time after time, this has proven to not be true. When a frightened gun-owner reaches for his weapon, he knows he is risking all his money and probably his freedom if he's found to have fired it when it wasn't necessary. And so they tend to use some discretion. Cops do not risk the same, and so they shoot people all the time when their life isn't threatened.
How many lawyers write their employment agreements, per-nuptual agreements, wills, or letters of engagement on cocktail napkins? Sure, it'd be enforceable, but almost worthless.

> One place cockroach radically differs from postgres is that it stores historical versions of rows and it stores them sequentially. This means that if you have an update-heavy workload and you do not lower your GC TTL for that data, you can see dramatic performance degradation that you would not see with postgres (see [1]).

Postgres isn't that different on that aspect. PG after all is an in-heap MVCC store. It's not quite sequential because we reuse free space in the middle of a table. But if there's none it'll be sequential.

The biggest difference is probably that we have an "on access" cleanup procedure. Dead tuple versions inside the table can be removed without an external processes (well shrunk - we need a small toombstone like thing until VACUUM comes around, otherwise indexes with older pointers would yield wrong results). That turns out to be extremely crucial for performance in update heavy workloads.
I am a bit confused; what is your criticism?

My only real point is that my job performance is mostly independent from what my superiors incentivize or hope to see.

Imagining myself as a soldier in WWII, I would like to think that I would have been motivated less by whatever my commanders incentivized, and more by the prospect of beating Hitler. Whereas, in Vietnam, I can't see any motivating large-scale goal or purpose. I think that Art Hoppe summed up the prevailing sentiment in his 1971 newspaper column: "I don't give a damn anymore who wins the day."

That said, hindsight is 20-20, and my argument is totally hypothetical: I have never been in any situation even remotely similar to war.
Somehow we afford paving streets in cities. I wonder how that happens when the math is always so bad?

Perhaps it's because we socialize the cost since the paved road benefits more than the immediate houses on that block.

Exactly this. But... from my limited experience: one team will just break things and then everyone just needs to correct their stuff as soon as they can because it's just not working anymore. Coordination takes time but has no place in the world of "move fast and break things".

Could be just my limited experience, though.

Diamond coated tools are not that expensive either.
This sounded more like a anti-SPA post. Maybe the title should be "Reasons for not building a SPA".
People can't even trust US police, not to mention US military.
Yeah I've heard this one before.

I use Mullvad, paid using BTC that came straight from a tumbler. I don't use it for any nefarious reasons, just wanted to see how such a setup would work. It was surprisingly painless. I think it took 15 minutes in total from moving my btc to the tumbler and having the tumbler move the btc to my Mullvad account.

Am I 100% secure? No, they know what IP I'm connecting from. Is my name attached to the VPN? No, not even close. I suppose if I wanted to further improve my security I wouldn't use my own home network, but public wifi's nearby.

But again, I didn't do it to stay "safe" or anonymous. Just wanted to see how the process would actually be.
And the most likely thing to happen is that after you have spend years creating it nobody would use it.
> there's TONS of new code being written in [Java], probably more than any other language

Nah, it's a pretty safe bet that the language with the most new code being written is JavaScript. If it weren't JavaScript, I'd actually guess Excel next. (Okay, maybe not in terms of LOC, but certainly in number of applications.)
Well, yes, NASA does rely a lot on external contractors due to the budgetary flexibility it entails. While there is some cross-communication between teams, it's generally limited by the extreme degree of specialisation needed. Also, as a general rule almost all of the hardware for any given mission is custom built for that mission, so the necessary knowhow to operate it is both unique and irreplaceable.

That said, some of the extra cost is due to scope creep, or due to changes in launch vehicle availability requiring the mission to be redesigned.

We've had all of the disruption to the economy that Sweden might have avoided, none of the freedoms they have retained, and yet still one of the worst death rates in the world. It's not clear to me what 'fuss' they have avoided.
> In free countries there are court cases about such things. Not in less free countries.

Russia literally had court proceedings about Telegram, which this post is about. Is Russia not a "less free country"? Or are those not "real court cases" while "ours" are totally real (but you can't talk about them and must play charades, and the opposing side has super powers written into the law)? If you need help carrying those goal posts, let me know.

> The Snowden of China doesn't get his day in court, maybe never talked if his family back home was at risk.

Neither does the Snowden of the US of A, you know, that one guy... right, Snowden, who has to hide in Russia of all places to not get shipped off to Gitmo. And even if he took that route, I'm sure the apologists would say "well, this is one of those small imperfections but he's fortunate that he's not in Russia".
> Browsers change. Relying on browser-specific behavior means you’re relying on that one browser at that one point in time. Code to the standard, and test everywhere.

I wish this was listed at the top of the list, in the middle, and at the end. It’s super annoying when a site or application isn’t “supported” because it wasn’t tested in a separate browser (i.e. non-Chrome browsers).

I know it’s not always easy with a fair amount of nuance which the Chrome Compatibility post[0] touches on, but developing the web platform should be done openly, with the browser vendors working together to be compatible with each other and not introduce developer or user inconvenience. Otherwise you end up with web ownership and a fragmented platform.

Where are you seeing a downwards pointing triangle in that second link's screenshot?
Further, it's routine for these long documents to make you 'agree' that they (alone) can alter the 'agreement' at any time, and that it's up to you to keep coming back to reread it and see if you notice any change. They might as well conclude with "Also, fuck you."

I wouldn't blame any particular company for not departing from this equilibrium we're in. But it makes a "meeting of the minds" so absurd it's a mockery of the ancient meaning of a contract.

Edit: I may be thinking only of terms of service; I don't remember how routine that term might be in privacy policies.

I remember these articles from when they were posted. I don't know of any specific articles for Apple or Google, but I know that my friends at Google think Google is a brutal place to work for most (Google of early 2010s apparently was much more chill, but not anymore). As for Apple, Steve Jobs and Tim Cook are of course known for their incredibly ruthless management style.
The bot's currently running on a virtual private server. The scraped data is all in a CSV file located in the same directory as the bot's source file. When the bot is run, it logs on to Reddit, loads the CSV data file into memory, and begins iterating through the Reddit comment stream checking for book title/author pairs.
Interesting and I was wrong. While that might make for a good case why Apple should be compelled to allow the side loading of apps (especially since an App can be sandboxed and couldn’t possibly damage the device, a key criteria in the link). It still makes it hard to win an antitrust case against Apple. If you defined the market for Ford radios as to only include Ford-manufactured vehicles, then every single car company is a monopolist. Defense would push back that Ford competes against GM and Tesla, not against Bose and Sonos (in my prior analogy), so as long as consumers have choice of cars, then Ford shouldn’t be subject to antitrust actions and remedies in regards to radios.
If there is a case testing the enforcability/validity of the limits enforced by the app store, it might be?

I'm not certain if the app store model has been tested in court? As in - can you actually, legally build a walled garden?

> Given this administration track record, I would be willing to explain it by lack of knowledge.

What about the track record of this administration would lead you to be willing to explain it by lack of knowledge? If there's one thing the Trump administration has been extremely knowledgeable about, it's this. Their MO is to be racist through dogwhistles and increasingly bullhorns.

Their track record should lead you to believe strongly that this is all intentional and intended to be racist and hateful.

The Trump administration is one week after the next embroiling itself in unnecessary scandals where they are purveyors of hate speech, racism, and violence against minorities. It is not one week after the next of incompetence or 'lack of knowledge', it is years of building on targeted hate directed towards minorities.
I think the actual danger to me from either organization is approximately nil. So it makes little sense to rank them this way.

Also the FSB would probably report on you to the US govt anyway, if you were actually up to something big enough that the NSA would have taken interest.
I think the initial analogy of discounts is flawed. Its more like

Didn't Cox recently lose a big lawsuit for not actually doing anything to punish repeat DMCA offenders? I'd be cautious about assuming those letters are still harmless today.
You can get 3d printing filament with a mixture of like 80% metal powder and the rest PLA that can be sintered, ie heated to be like 1200-1300C, to end up with a metal object that's essentialy printed on a regular 3d printer. Maybe glass powder could also just be mixed in melted PLA and then extruded to get a filament that could be used in regular 3d printers and then sintered to get a glass object.

I mean, these two quotes by Joyce himself say it all:

“If I gave it all up immediately, I'd lose my immortality. I've put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant, and that's the only way of insuring one's immortality.”
-Joyce's reply for a request for a plan of Ulysses, as quoted in James Joyce (1959) by Richard Ellmann

“The demand that I make of my reader is that he should devote his whole Life to reading my works.”
-Interview with Max Eastman in Harper's Magazine, as quoted in James Joyce (1959) by Richard Ellmann. Eastman noted "He smiled as he said that — smiled, and then repeated it."
Do you really think their marketing team does everything in groups of 14s and 88s to keep up with neo-Nazi numerology?
Hmm, well we saw something like it recently and it mostly just stranded people in Europe from what I recall. Eyjafjallajökull erupted in Iceland about 10 years ago and there wasn’t anything we could do but wait it out, and it was a lot less severe than what’s described in this article.

Correct. It then goes on to - by default at least - upload everyones messages unencrypted to Google Cloud.

I usually defend Telegram but here I think you are wrong. Telegram also requires a phone number to sign up.

That would be quite the challenge since fine silica and other particles would foul just about any kind of machinery.
That is assuming that they CAN read the contract.

The median US adult reads at a grade 5 level. That's a problem in and of itself. However when I paste Apple's privacy policy at https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/ into https://readabilityformulas.com/freetests/six-readability-fo... it comes out with a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of 14.4. There are a variety of readability measures at that site, and for this document they varied between grade 12 and college graduate.

It is therefore demonstrably impossible for the average American to read that policy. EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO.

Now another poster claims that this is because of what is legally required. That is nonsense. It is because nobody cares about making it readable. Let me demonstrate. Here is a sample paragraph from the document with a reading level of grade 13.4:

You may be asked to provide your personal information anytime you are in contact with Apple or an Apple affiliated company. Apple and its affiliates may share this personal information with each other and use it consistent with this Privacy Policy. They may also combine it with other information to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising. You are not required to provide the personal information that we have requested, but, if you chose not to do so, in many cases we will not be able to provide you with our products or services or respond to any queries you may have.

Here is a rewritten version that is significantly shorter, more readable (grade 7.3), and actually says more:

When you contact Apple or its affiliated companies, we may ask you questions about yourself. Examples that we commonly ask for include your name, age, address, and credit card number. You do not have to answer us. But if you don't, we may not be able to answer your questions or provide you with our services.

Your answers can be shared between Apple and its affiliates as long as we follow this Privacy Policy. We can also combine your answers with other data that we have. We do this to provide and improve our products, services, content, and advertising.

I could easily improve the readability more, but my point is made. The hardest part of the exercise was making the rewritten version long enough to get a readability score.

I think it would be very reasonable to pass a law saying that any consumer contract with a Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level of over grade 8 should not be enforceable. The reasoning being that there cannot have been a meeting of minds when few consumers are even able to understand the language which the contract is written in. And if there were such a law, I guarantee that lawyers would quickly learn how to put their thoughts in plain writing instead of legalese.
Some reasons you might get some negative vibes from looking into consumer VPN services:

* Some consumer VPN services have been found to be doing sketchy things. And you can imagine the business is attractive to people intending to do sketchy things, since it's a powerful/lucrative position to be in right now. (In addition to the business possibly being attractive to people just wanting to provide a useful and honest service for a fair price.)

* There seem to have long been referral kickbacks by some consumer VPN services, which I assume is the cause of some of the huge amounts of noise on the Web and such about them (e.g., search hits on some non-VPN topics, such as some home theatre search terms, overwhelmed by SEO articles, the purpose of which is to then herd the reader towards particular VPN services with a kickback). Even some endorsements by organizations might essentially be more about revenue than about merits.

* I speculate that it doesn't help if one of the main historical uses of consumer VPNs has been for activity that would be considered copyright-violating in the US (e.g., unauthorized trading of video files, or circumventing region restrictions). Without making any moral judgments, I think it's fair to say that constitutes "conscious rule-breaking" for some, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's an disproportionate culture of rule-breaking around the whole space.
That shouldn't be up to Apple. Imagine if oogle said that about Apple ads and apple's websites.
Having a writing system and using it to record history are surprisingly independent. For example, in ancient India they wrote all kinds of stuff down, but virtually none of it is history. Most of what we know about the history of India comes from the records of other peoples who came into contact with the Indians.
Conflict of interest itself is not illegal, but it does legally restrict Apple from doing some things.

For example, providing private APIs to Apple Music would straight fall under the Microsoft precedent, same for not allowing other apps as default programs. Apple Music would have to use the same store review policies, and Apple may have to separate divisions so AM pays the same store tax (but internally).
> When you're in this game long enough, you realize that the thing you want most is not to be wrong.

I suppose most of us are commenting from the outside perspective, where the thing you want most is a warp drive - so any revolution in understanding of the universe gives hope that we'll be able to do things we now consider impossible.
I question it. Inarguably, every microfrontend shipping its own copy of React DOM, Angular Core, etc is wasting bandwidth. Do our customers perceive page slowness due to this lack of optimization? No. Is conversion harmed? No, because we're a B2B SaaS company.

This is not to diminish the work of the Webpack contributors. I still think it's a wonderful feature, and folks with less messy situations (e.g., for organizations still doing micro-frontends, but everyone's using a single UI framework-- their adoption of module federation would likely have less friction) and thus be worth the effort.
Writing developed in America long before Europeans showed up and continued to be used until Europeans showed up, but the Europeans destroyed most books they could find and forced the natives to learn the colonizers' languages. That's the main cause why so many native languages are dying/extinct.
