> Charles might behave in a similar manner to Bob, but not be "weird" about it, and people find him funny not creepy.

So it's all down to the interpretation (of both the CoC, and whether behaviour falls within it) of the organiser? Especially under such vague standards as "being weird" or "being creepy?

This sound like the exact problem with CoCs. And the "rule-breaking" aspect goes both ways. It's eventually a way to streamline the process by shutting down group dissent. Work fine if the rules, and their enforcement are just; not so much otherwise.

> But that rule already existed, and was already "grey"

No it didn't. The reasoning behind the rule did, but not the rule. Once the rule exists people can appeal to the rule directly without considering the reasoning behind it; Much like arguing that abortion is bad because it is murder, without reconsidering why murder is bad in the first place and re-engaging with that logic in the context of abortion.
> With a SPA framework, it could add it to the local list of emails and push to the server in the background, so it would transition instantly regardless of connectivity.

With an SPA, it could be built to do this. But most SPAs aren't developed this way.

Take a look at the "RealWorld" example SPA showcase (it's like a TodoMVC for SPAs), which has 43k stars on GitHub: https://github.com/gothinkster/realworld

And go ahead and click on the demo site: https://demo.realworld.io/

In virtually every implementation, every time you change pages, the app re-downloads everything it needs for that route. Click on an article and then go back to the feed? Every time you will see a blank feed for about 500ms and only then do the articles stream in.

You can say "well it doesn't have to be this way" or "this is just an example". But the reality is that it usually is this way. This real world example is a good representation of how most SPAs are built, and they lack the type of functionality you're describing. They instead end up creating an experience that poorly emulates server side rendering, since now many page changes end up with a blank page or a loading indicator before the data arrives in a subsequent request.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather wait 250ms once and then have the page arrive fully rendered over a transition that takes 2ms and then 200-400ms of multiple requests finishing and the page popping into place. The latter is really annoying, yet it's the experience most SPAs give you.
a full(er) quote:

"George Floyd was killed by a police officer, and shouldn’t have been. He had not lived a virtuous life. He was convicted of several crimes, including armed robbery, which he seems to have committed to feed his drug habit. And he was high on drugs at the time of his arrest. But we do not kill such people. He committed sins, but we root for sinners to change their lives and convert to the Gospel."

-- link at https://newbostonpost.com/2020/06/17/m-i-t-catholic-chaplain...

But most media outlets just quote "didn't live a virtuous life" in their own paraphrasing, as well as "I don't think we know that" - that strengthen those implications by removing any context that would otherwise soften them. It's very easy to assume was justifying the killing, given that no contrary quotes are given.

That's not to say that what he did say is ok/wise/sensitive, but much of the press are clearly sensationalising this.
I recently read a story (AITAH) where a persona who worked as a university professor (a neighbour) was throwing branches into someones back yard and trespassing (to smoke). After the police didn't do anything, they contacted their work (the university) and later considered social messages of the form "University professor did <this>". I was fairly uncomfortable with this; I feel these kind of things need to be handles by e.g. courts or similar, not in via social pinion where a persons profession is leveraged against them.

I also dislike arguments of the form "If they believe <this> how can they treat <some demographic> fairly", or even "People of <some demographic> will feel uncomfortable working with them"; but I accept they have some validity.

I feel a true answer is more complicated; i.e. before we answer these problems, we consider:

- is someone not know to express racist opinions therefore not racist?

- what political-compatibility criteria is needed to work with someone?

- if person A doesn't want to work with person B; is that persons As problem, or person Bs?

- how objective are hiring/firing/promotion criteria? to the extent that they are subjective, what goes into that, and what is fair? Are promotions fair if they are random, so long as they are not biased wrt race/sex/etc? Or is a random process unfair because it is arbitrary? If it is biased towards arbitrary criteria that is not the usual demographics (e.g. ppl who wear glasses) is this fair?

- what moral obligation do employees have in their private lives? Does this obligation differ by job type? Do all jobs have obligations e.g. do corp contracts imply them too; and are employees compensated wrt these obligations?
The history of the world tells us that ethics is a very weak control. In particular where profit is concerned. Capitalists have proven time and time again that they will pass whatever costs they can to others, the users of their product, the public or the workers. No doubt the many of the managers at 3M(just one example of zillions,) went to some sort religious institution and if you asked them they'd profess to be moral people. Zero dependence should be made on morality as a regulator.
Isn't there an inherently coercive/disruptive nature to street protesting, especially wrt large partisan groups?

e.g. extinction rebellion holding up bus/rail services, BLM protesters wearing masks, chanting and large groups showing up at sensitive places, such as the white-house, or police-officers homes.
Or edits that value.
You’re also still paying a performance penalty for interacting with the virtual DOM in react. It’s not like react is just more complex to develop on, it’s also a noticeably slower experience in some cases (looking at you, Reddit.)

I’m also not completely convinced that the one-codebase ethos actually results in that much more efficiency, particularly given that one codebase is JavaScript. I’m sure there is a gain, but I don’t know that it completely offsets the costs of being so tightly bound to the JS community, but that could just be my experience
I agree. I think that teachers are relatively powerless/underpaid/underappreciated/overworked (during the school year) and that makes it so hard for them to help kids that are struggling. Let alone help the kids who are struggling without interrupting the rest of the class. It reminds me of the season of The Wire where it shows just how many systemic issues there are in the education system.

My teachers were frustrated and sent me to the counselor, who lucked into a solution for me. Combined with the fact that I was lucky enough to have a computer at home to use, parents who supported me, and teachers who wanted me to succeed was what made it work. Most people aren't as fortunate.
Ah, so you're looking for something more like

var myData = RestApi->get('/records', id=myDataRecordID)
myData = RestApi->post('/tools/strips-whitespace', myData)

So, you can certainly write such HTTP endpoints to work exactly as you've described, but it doesn't really make sense to make these network calls when you can just run such a simple function in memory. So, we usually say make a call to an api, do whatever manipulating we want in code, make a call to another api, manipulate, and so on and so on. If we removed the ability to manipulate in code and forced you to make calls to '/tools' endpoints for all of that, then we'd be in the same place as UNIX pipelines, no?
Now that I've thought about it more, it makes more sense. When used properly, Rails handles a bunch of the stuff that would make Postgres a better choice (like data validation, constraints, etc.)
Turbolinks is a full front-end framework. It just makes you manage the DOM diffing yourself by annotating nodes with various data attributes so that they are replaced, persisted and cached properly as navigation occurs.

It might be smaller or faster than other frameworks, but it definitely has much of the complexity and pitfalls of its brethren.

> Yeah, the conspiracy theory is just insane. Almost as insane as the conspiracy theory that one of the world's largest religious organizations was engaging in something similar, except at a scale spanning every continent except Antarctica and having done so for at least as long as living memory.

One is a conspiracy about a pedophile ring in a pizzaria basement when no such basement exists. The other is a conspiracy that has dozens if not hundreds of convictions and at least a tacit admission from the institution that it's a problem.

> For another conspiracy theory, what about the idea that if a conspiracy was uncovered, instead of denying it those with something to lose would double down on the most exaggerated parts of the conspiracy to down out the less insane and more likely parts. Get the public to focus on the pizza shop and not on the (since deceased) billionaire.

The mastermind (Ailes) behind the news network responsible for pushing the former conspiracy and distracting from the latter admitted to starting the network for the express purpose of running political interference. It's not really a conspiracy when the conspirators are blatantly open about it - at least not in the colloquial sense. Political interference they're running now against SDNY in order to obstruct the investigation.

The difference in circumstance should be apparent - it's the existence of actual evidence and reliable first hand accounts.
The problem is that the general public is very fond of conspiracy theory for every problem under the sun. Every issue will be attributed to malicious intent of India, USA or Israel (somehow that comes into the mix). If the general public does not evolve, how would the army or govt.

I liked Sundar somewhat when I was at Google, after he shortly become CEO, until 2019 I left.

Looking back, I always felt something missing when I think of him, in comparison to Larry Page.

Right at this moment, it felt to me that Sundar is meant to be another typical professional manager for a "conventional company". The primary issue is that he, like other manager, lacks the inert urgency for their task.

Apple has been playing the privacy card at least 2 years ago. That by itself threatens Google at its core. Yet I never see the decisiveness in rethinking Google's identity; it was always reactionary, 2nd timed, backward looking...

> the UX is fairly laggy

I don't really find that to be the case. All of the actions seem to be done for me in under 400ms which is to say under the Doherty Threshold. That mean's that they are largely imperceptible. Sure it doesn't have fancy animations, but there isn't really any time for them.

Can you cite an example of a popular React SPA that is less "laggy" in your opinion? I'm curious to compare the UX.
I would expect to be able to get 100% (on the training data) on this task. Shouldn't any sequences of election victories be easily represented with multiple sin functions?

I believe porting MS Office to Linux would be a death sentence as all companies would install Ubuntu and Office and call it a day.
So should why should I trust anyone? The crux of these arguments is essentially anti-capitalism. That’s fine. But be upfront about it. There is a debate to be had around the ethics of privacy in a capitalist free market economy. In this instance, for me at least, Apple is the devil I know. Your point around trusting corporations is totally valid, but I’ve yet to see a similarly valid argument for trusting open source projects. “You can read/compile the source code” is only valid if it is all encompassing. At some point in that line of argument trust still has to be deferred.
I believe they don't have much of a frontend stack at all, it's just a little bit of JavaScript, so I don't understand how the UX would be laggy if it doesn't actually do much.

This seems to contradict "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized"

That just means their internal processes are now good enough to do all they need to do in 3 months.

Otherwise they would have custom cut-off capabilities, and wouldn’t basically force everyone to turn collection back on at every turn after you’ve disabled it. I explicitly did it three times before giving up, as Assistant would turn it back on every now and then. That’s when I decided I’ll make an effort not to use any G service if I can avoid it.
>>Privacy is at the heart of everything we do

What an opening statement. An ingenuine statement (not to call it a lie) like this actually prevented me to read further.

Maybe a more genuine statement, like "Privacy is important to our users and the safety of our society, hence we want to improve" or whatever would have me read further.

First, you have to admit fault, then you get to offer a solution and I decide if I use Google or not. And I don't at the moment.

>I assume Mozilla will audit and keep Comcast honest here, or at least try. I just am left wondering what loophole Comcast has found.

Comcast will use the same loophole they use with everyone else. Kafkaesque policies aren't just for their customers, they exist throughout the organization.

Took me 6 months to get a Secure VPN link that -they- insisted we use to set up their files. And 3 months of that was just getting the password reset. The account was locked because it wasn't being used (first 3 months was them fighting with firewall configs)...

But then we were in this loop of they would reset the password, but the person who had to TELL us the password was reset would take so long to do so that it expired again by the time we got it.

So, extrapolating to here, my guess is that any sort of audit will take forever to get data, probably incomplete sets... you get the picture.

I'm more convinced dropping dual boot and supporting virtualization is the right move.

Only the host OS is going to have the right drivers for the trackpad, wi-fi, GPU, power management, etc. etc. Through virtualization, the guest OS doesn't have to worry about constantly evolving hardware models.

Virtualized OS performance is already very good, and USB passthrough has existed for a while. Snapshots are a godsend.

What won't work are things like CUDA for eGPUs over Thunderbolt 3, and you'll have to share disk and RAM with the host OS.

But for most use cases it's probably the right choice. (This doesn't address the author's concern about moving away from x86.)

I too really like this data, specifically location history.
