Yes, you're right.

I even had one such notebook myself, but it always felt to me like a one-off thing, because I already had full HD displays on desktop for years.
Google offers better documentation than most, and the privacy aspects are good. [1]
Of course you have to trust them but that would be true for any company. Given that the natural default would be even less trustworthy ISP, is not that bad.

Bezos' dollars are a lot more fungible than that. What would "owning ancient Egypt" on paper do for you, really?
The Capitalist will always try to cut costs at the benefit of shareholder pockets, especially at a period when workers have the least or close to the least working rights of any western country. The most expensive costs are typically labor. Why do you think they started manufacturing in China?

Can anyone explain to me how you get around greed like that in Capitalism?
Nim?
Perhaps but I get the feeling that when people become that rich they suddenly find reasons for why they should keep their wealth solely under their control. That’s why you see them setting up foundations of their own instead of giving it away to various existing charities.
I've made this suggestion because at first I didn't realise that you find FB's algorithmic sorting/curation useful. I tend to read (or at least skim) all of the content that I subscribe too and FB (and Twitter) are a bit hostile for this usecase.
Paying out next year upon filing taxes doesn't do a lot to keep people afloat who are unemployed now. That's long enough to end up on the street.

i set up a bind nameserver for my internal network, and mistakenly i did not set upstream resolvers.

It's working anyway, i think it's resolving off the root nameservers...

I guess... You couldn't go more private than that.
Only problem is that the whole software / tech company facade is what held the whole bubble going. You can't keep insane valuations when you're just a taxi company hiring cheap engineers to develop an app.

There has been a growing bubble of using software and apps and pretending to "disrupt" traditional real world markets that has been there for years. I suspect a big part of that bubble was dunning-kroger effect of software engineer's arrogance, investors extravagance, and willingness to burn cash fueled by prior experience with actual software companies which spilled over to optimism about being able to do the same in traditional markets.

AirBnB, Uber, Lyft, Grubhub, other food delivery apps, WeWork, Tesla. They are all examples of what happens when you judge a traditional business from the rose tinted glasses of software companies, almost ignoring the efficient market hypothesis about these traditional businesses long before these "disruptors" came along, while exaggerating the value the software part really provides.
That's true as a percentage of total world wealth, but if you're using money as a proxy for productivity, in absolute terms $200 billion probably outranks all of Egypt 2000 years ago.

And if you're talking about how much wealth he could realistically extract from Egypt, it's much much lower. Maybe even lower as a percent of global wealth.
Many have returned back home, or got to that level locally and don't want to leave.

The Indians I've worked with who returned say they did it because life was easier. Sure they make less money on India, but in India servants come every day to cook and clean (for about 60 cents a day). As one guy said "I know how to cook, but I didn't realize I'd be cooking every meal"
The discussion seems to be a logical circle. If the default fallback is such rare circumstance that it doesn't matter, then the best options seems to leave it blank as suggest last in the ticket. Let it fail hard and if any users has a complaint they can direct that towards downstream which should have set a sensible fallback. If the default fallback actually do matter then it seems reasonable to have a discussion about what it should be.
Fair point about the documentation, but I doubt it's allowed to fail: the 'except AttributeError' is only meant to skip the complete test for builds without support for it, builds which do support it will run the test and will result in a failed build status if the test fails. And yes it's a compile-time option, just like a 100 other features, that's just how it's done in MicroPython and doesn't necessarily equate to 'unstable'.
I don't really get what your point is.

I was aware that Bill Gates had given away at least half his money, given that he's still been left with more money than he could ever need by some large margin I'm not too interested in making him some sort of saint just yet.
Bezos has about the net worth of the #2 and #3 richest people combined. The median wealth in North America is less than $500k per adult. North America is where it's highest. Bezos has over 400,000 times the net worth of the average North American adult. Nothing about this is normal.
It is absolutely a non-sequitur to tell someone what the defaults are when they are complaining that they do not like what the defaults are. "Choosing not to engage in pointless arguments" would be not responding at all, rather than responding in a manner that is implicitly insulting. Poettering phrased his response as if he was answering a different issue than the one he was actually responding to. Deliberately misinterpreting someone's question instead of directly saying he didn't want to get into that matter is poor behavior.
Its more basic than that. He chose not to give a _detailed_ answer, and diverted from the original point. Thats perfectly fine

then to go off on one here: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/12499#issuecomment... its just being a dick. Its not even entertaining.
I feel like I was really clear. We don't agree, obviously, but I don't want to argue about it with you any more, so I'm going to go ahead and let you have the last word.

When Apple identifies malware they can update macOS to block or remove it. This doesn't require the Mac app store to fix, and piracy doesn't have to be the cause, for instance Mac Defender was distributed through its own websites. Ironically it was suggested this fake anti-malware software could be avoided by using the Mac app store, but malicious anti-malware software has also been spread by and removed from the Mac app store. It's the same for users either way, Apple addresses the problem.

I very specifically avoided any qualitative judgement on skill in my comment. "Kind" includes all the qualities SV firms are after. Whether they are the best at what they do or not isn't the point.
It will either turn into a real grown-up community with real content moderation and guidelines and nontrivial spend in automated and manual content removal or turn into a useless cesspit like Voat.

I didn't say she carried all the republicans, just that she carried enough of them to put her above any of the more "typical" democratic candidates you'd expect to see from a state with the demographics of California. You can't feasibly elect a progressive with a non-partisan election, even in California.

What's the argument here. Salary is a salary precisely because of this reason. You get a small something, or you in a non salary scenario get either zero or something way bigger than a salary.
There is definitely a shortage of good quality Engineers in SF. That's the key reason why the engineering salary is so high. Also the weird housing laws.

The same engineer who is making 30k in India makes 5 or 6 times the salary when moved to the SF office. Similarly the Engineer who makes 200k+ in SF gets 4 or 5 times less when moved back to India.

Comparing Mercedes to Honda is not the right comparison. There are good and bad engineers in both the US and India. So why pay 150k+ for a Honda in US when you can get the same Honda in India for 30k.

I don’t care if Poettering's an a—hole or not. I enjoy reading Torvald’s rants, in fact. They’re usually informative.

I’m upset that he has done more than any other developer to break my machines, and he keeps getting more authority so screw things up.

PulseAudio was bad enough, but at least it only broke one subsystem. SystemD has unapologetically broken: background process management, time keeping, network resolution, pam authentication, screen saver session management, x11 startup, logging, and probably more.
This. For organized crime in a country when 9 out of 10 crimes go unpunished, the fastest way to startup infrastructure is kidnapping experts.

I was a heavy coffee drinker most of my life and had to stop cold turkey and did so for a month due to GI issues. Had a headache the first days, but was fine otherwise.

Now I just do half caf and have two cups a day and found a nice balance of not being too dependent on the caffeine.

More than the caffeine I love the taste of good coffee, so I can live with the reduced caffeine.

Not everyone has extreme withdrawal from stopping caffeine.
Well, taxation would allow continued ownership.
This has absolutely nothing to do with communism or socialism. Somehow the US discourse has redefined those terms to encompass any and all charitable policies.

Communism and socialism are systems where the means of production are owned either collectively or by the state.

At the point where US Republicans (as well other proto-fascists like Hungary) enact a policy it should be pretty obvious that it isn’t, like, textbook Stalinism.

If you want to complain about it, „expensive populism“ would seem to be a more fitting and still derogatory term. Or maybe, considering every government with the financial means to do so has enacted such a program, it’s just terribly obvious pragmatism.
Yeah, but I got this uneasy feeling about relying too much on google services. Their policy can change in the future, and when it do change, we will scramble trying migrate to something else, only to find that the competitions in the space has been killed. Think about Reader, when they shut it down, there were no good alternatives for users to migrate to. Also google maps api, when they suddenly jack up the price and there were nothing the users could migrate to.

So the taser is deadly? Why was it pulled in the first place? How many times can a taser be fired? Brooks is running away, are you seriously suggesting that he posed a serious thread to the officers?

Nevertheless, the incident shows at best how grossly incompetent the police in the US are,however manslaughter is certainly also a reasonable interpretation.

Alcohol is the most dangerous drug. Are merchants responsible if they sell alcohol?
> Your example makes the exact same assumptions

My example does not make the assertion that Google donated/bribed the systemd project, so no, it does not make the same assumptions. It intentionally leaves any implied motivations open ended.

> And they're fair assumptions - Google is well known for giving funding to open source projects to get their products set as defaults.

The only case I'm aware of is Firefox, which had a contract with Mozilla to have the Google search engine be the default. I'm curious to hear about more though.

The privacy concerns with Google DNS seem to be partially unfounded too [1]. Granted, that is coming from Google themselves, but privacy policies are legally binding. For the record, I don't think there should be a default at all, but I have no problems with how Poettering handled this.

From watching from afar, it seems that right now he makes sure amazon grows just to be able to finance Blue Origin from his own pockets.

He is just a man with ambitions, whose "crime" people call out is amazon not paying profit taxes...
With all the taxes from the non cash business amazon brings, that is the least ethical concern about amazon, specially since most of time they indeed have no profit as they reinvest.

Now the warehouse conditions is another thing, but hey it's america, those are spoken about because every its like that but amazon is a big target.

Amazon is a big corp like any other it has a bunch of faults, but to point Bezos simply evil over it is ridiculous, he does not have full control of amazon like Zuck has over FB
I think it's important to remember that most of Jeff Bezos wealth is in Amazon stock. I say this because it seems like people see $171b and assume Bezos has that amount of spending power. In reality if Jeff tried to liquidate all of his Amazon shares into USD it would crash the stock price and he would get nowhere near the quoted figures.
well, something being obvious does not make it an axiom, not worth of an argument and/or a proof. in fact, there are many examples "obviously right" views that can be proven wrong.
Thank you for the points you've provided, I agree with them totally. I just wanted to see what kind of logic stood behind your opinion, that's it :)

Especially when he had to answer in the affirmative, that there is indeed a conflict of interest, but it's a really tiny one that hardly anyone would be bothered by.

Or he realizes that being bald saves a few cycles when taking a shower.

If it's specifically to attract the ladies, I think having $165B and being the world's richest person would be a larger factor than any mane.
I'm suggesting that Amazon is insanely aggressive about corporate tax minimization and that if we held them to a minimum rate, Bezos's net worth would be substantially lower since it's all in Amazon's stock which is priced based on the future expectation of cash flow to equity holders.

The chipping away of effective corporate tax rates is one of the big untold stories of inequality, especially now that most most cash to equity holders comes in the form of buybacks which are untaxed and most shares are owned in tax havens so the presumed capital gains upon selling can be readily avoided as well.

https://itep.org/corporate-tax-avoidance-in-the-first-year-o...

Just saw your edit - you too. I don't really care about Jeff Bezos's wealth, he's just going to blow it on more mansions and boats, but I think it's worth thinking about the virtuous cycle of wealthy people having so much political influence to determine how wealthy they can be.
One way is to get the state to tax the rich, like many first world countries did in the post-war period. It's hard because the rich get a lot of say in the government, and they don't want to get their taxes raised.
Not really. Having a documented series of next steps, combined with current thoughts is as good as I can get. The only other key difference is that I treat sides much like work. I disable all my notifs across the board and aim for dedicated time.

What do you do to get started in flow?
Dip your toes into NLP for hedge funds in just 2 days
While that is true, that is true for our entire society. Big projects are almost never started nowadays by selling somethings else (unless its a direct replacement). Instead, what usually happens is that you take a bank loan that is secured by assets, in this case his stock. Or to put it short: pretty much any bank would give Jeff a 10 bn loan that is tied to his stocks, its simply not true that there is any problem there.
I don't think we can compare feudalism with financial crime.

One was the system of governance for millennia, the other was enabled by the naivety of a failed ruling class who handed the power of states to the fraudsters of global finance.

Everyone understood (at a local level) how feudalism worked, I doubt many people could tell you what Wirecard were doing.
Software Component Verification Standard
There are people being fired for doing studies like this, I think there was a case in the UK. A review of the decision process that led to these cases is also sensible, otherwise any discourse is quite difficult.

I would caution with attaching privilege to anyone. We have seen Harvard graduates accusing people of profiting from privilege while having day-to-day wage-jobs. If the concept is too complicated for "elite"-graduates, it probably doesn't help in a general discussion. Especially not if the topic is emotional as you said.

I think more funding for better training is indeed a good idea. That police officers are accused of murder by shooting someone resisting arrest and shooting back is also a catastrophe. We also have seen people cooperating being shot. These should be handled differently of course.
You have subcultures that idolize gang violence combined with gun ownership being common. You don't get that combination in most of the developed world, or not in the numbers that you do in the US.

There's a podcast series called "Hunting Warhead" wich documents how the largest child abuse site (sadly had over a million members) was taken over by law enforcement. It turns out they carried on running the site for about a year, even posting child abuse images themselves as the admin to maintain legitimacy. Definitely a moral gray area there. Great podcast series but also made me feel sick and keeps creeping into my head periodically..
We use Jira cloud, so if it is misconfigured, blame them. My internet isn’t great, but I will anecdotally note that Atlassian sites are the only ones that ruin a videocon connection. As for your general criticism comment, glass houses.

Last, hot circle of garbage: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=S70lQwc0FDs

To get specific:

- they’ve had a ticket to hide completed epics from the roadmap open for over a year.

- their user management is a unmitigated disaster. God help you if you use bitbucket or Trello (although Trello users are getting integrated in after 4 years!).

- it took me literally 2 months of help desk tickets to figure out how to get an invoice. The former billing poc was fired, and even though I was the site admin, I had to recreate his account in our SSO, log in as him, and then assign the role to me.

- have you tried to set up even a slightly customized Jira Service Desk?

- want to expire “done” issues faster than 14 days? Pound sand.

- I could keep going, but what’s the point? Atlassian is a bunch of decent products drowning in scope creep, terrible cross-product integration, and a painfully slow development cycle that is focused way more on cosmetic features that fixes their trainwreck of a dumpster fire.

Now that’s a mixed metaphor for you.
So to summarize:

When discussing privacy and Google a common refrain is "just don't use Google products then". But Google's DNS is used as the default for a key system daemon in the majority of Linux systems?

I'm going to file this under "voting with your wallet is bullshit".

I also hope that the systemd team is watching the Google DNS ToS like a hawk because: "We may modify the Terms or any portion to, for example, reflect changes to the law or changes to our APIs. You should look at the Terms regularly."

I mean, up to the legal statute of limitations they can do that right (eg if they had speed camera recordings that they realized were accidentally unreviewed, they could use those and issue tickets without it being much of a morality issue).

It is maybe unfair because of a sudden burden and no ability to change your behavior before it added up to a huge sum, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with privacy.

He didn’t create all of that, he led and directed the efforts of others, who could’ve earned more form their blood, sweat, and tears if he had not.

This is not to deny he’s a smart, highly complement business leader whose management skills acted as a force multiplier that means it was Amazon rather than, say, Walmart, who is the dominant online retailer.

It’s just that saying he deserves all of that $171 billion seems as wrong to me as saying he deserves none of it.
