Facebook had net income over $60 billion dollars in the 5 years that lawsuit was going on.

At that rate they can continue violating people's rights indefinitely, so I really don't see the difference.
My understanding was that TikTok was basically the Chinese response to periscope and vine, which was popular, but couldn't make money. TikTok's scheme is to be spyware that even puts Facebook to shame, in a way that I'm not convinced isn't just government spyware disguised as social media where the point isn't to make a profit to begin with. If similar attempts have failed because of monetization struggles, I don't see an identical competitor emerging. We alrealy have many close substitutes.
Just to put this in context, this is a first instance ruling. There were dozens of those already in Brazil, but they are all reverted in upper instances because the supreme Labour Court has already decided they are not employees (Brazilian labour laws have very specific requirements to be considered so and Uber drivers definitely fail a couple of those objective requirements).

I understand that there is a need to protect those drivers (and other gig economy workers), but trying to bend the law's definition is not the right way to do it. This will get reversed as all other cases did.
> take the candidate resumes and normalize them to remove formatting, layout and structural differences

In my experience, mostly they "normalise" CVs to remove contact information (and replace with their own).
Sure, but it would be more useful to attempt to understand why the system incentivized politicians this way. If everyone that engages with a system can be blamed for doing something wrong, then the system needs to be rethought.

Concretely, I think we should prioritize campaign finance reform and lobbying. It's only a start, but a potentially important one.
google settled a lawsuit with affinity engines after the engineer came over to google and misappropriated trade secrets. lol the irony.. Google bought youtube..

Google is completely incapable of coming up with their own successful social network.
>I'd rather pour water on every house than accidentally let a few burn down, especially since theres plenty of water for everybody.

That's demonstrably false, which is where Economics comes from. "Limited Resources and Unlimited Wants."

> Nobody questions printing a few 100 billion dollars for the military or a wall street bailout, but when it comes to protecting citizens suddenly we have a country full of accountants.

Didn't say anything about Wallstreet or Military until now, what's your question?

>Do you feel the same about other social services?

That's misleading, as cash handouts are not in the same class. Money is a commodity and a currency. You're conflating two things as one.

>Should the library only lend books to people under a certain income? Maybe if people make over 20k we can charge them to use the playground

Do you eat books when you go to the library so the next person cannot use them, or do you return them so another human being can ocularize and assimilate the message? If you eat books, your argument is more cogent, but if you return them like every other savage then I don't understand your question. Social services are for society, guaranteed income is for people who don't have income of their own, or not enough to get by. Pardon the snarkiness, but I can draw a Venn Diagram if that helps.
They stop being morons pretty quick after having been bitten though.

Remember: we are in this situation right now with freelancers, gig workers, etc. If you're worried about creating an army of uninsured, they already exist.

The parent is precisely arguing against mono-cultures. I don't see how your reply is really discussing any of the various relevant points he raised.

Right now, all that I understand from your opinion is that you think robots are bad because of mono-cultures, but the parent would argue equating those two things is incorrect.
Because Google and Apple are private entities, and they're not beholden to the government's whims. They have relationships with citizens, who may not necessarily agree with the governments' assertions. And because the government is forced to follow a set of rules for enacting laws. Talk isn't enough to enforce will.

I think a better question to ask is, under what authority is the US government talking about banning TikTok? If there are clear security issues, or TikTok or the people running it are in violation of some US law, the onus is on the government to prove it. I haven't seen any proof of this, just a lot of hearsay.
Perhaps. There's been some interesting work in showing that any hidden variable theories can't give any better predictions than QM probabilities. It remains to be seen whether their hypotheses are valid, but the inference seems sound.
If you can't explain what the difference is between computation and thought how can you hope to argue that one can't be used to achieve the other.

It's not just "online shaming", it's also harassment such as trying to get someone fired from their job.
>workers should have freedom to negotiate their own benefits

This is likely where the comment of laws treating the workers as stupid people comes from - Brazilian labour laws are very rigid with an amazing amount of restrictions around negotiating different benefits, working hours, etc. If, however, you earn a higher salary then you fit into a different category of labour laws and are allowed more flexibility. The thinking seems to be "if you earn under this amount you probably didn't receive a good enough education to know what is good for you". Sometimes that may be true, but it is a very dangerous line of thinking.
What Does 1GB of Mobile Data Cost in Every Country?
My experience with IRB has been so-so. I've found it fine for experimenting with small functions as I develop them, poking at interfaces, etc. But it's really nowhere near the experience I had with Clojure and a repl-integrated programming environment. I've only been using Ruby on Rails for a little under a year, so I have some more learning to do, but I'm not hopeful about the productivity story.

Repl-driven development in Clojure with Emacs and CIDER [0]:

You develop a namespace or two at a time and you're looking at a handful of files in your editor. You can move between function definitions, modify them, and re-evaluate them as easily as moving the cursor and pressing a key. The whole editor becomes a playground: every piece of code you see can be changed and evaluated as fast as you can think. You can execute a web request from cURL or the browser, and your Clojure repl is hooked into the running program. So you can capture real inputs, store them in temporary vars, play them back, change them on the fly, etc.

The IRB is just very linear in comparison.

> This is ridiculous. We'd need comprehensive sex education whether or not anyone watches porn.

I don't follow. Of course sex ed is need and I believe it should be updated to take porn into account (if it's not already there).

> If all you had in mind was condom usage and pregnancy, this is a bizarre choice of phrasing.

Of course not, but I can't go around citing every publications or experts under the sun that points to cultural changes and implications on the children's upbringing.

Now I believe the debate is wrongly framed from the beginning. Children aren't teenagers, some culture have varying definitions for children, teenagers, adults, etc. and “porn” is way too generic (softcore, bdsm, gonzo, mutilation, etc.) to encompass the whole situation. Saying it's fine for children to watch porn won't fly when you hear about some kind of porn some people are consuming.

AFAIC I believe parents should take care to protect children from porn watching/accident, explain things sooner than previous generations (this is a change brought in by the total availability of porn content) did. There should be a mention in sex education about porn and how and why it paints some very specific sexual intercourse behaviour in specific ways and why it's not necessarily what's expected from a partner, etc.

I do agree and believe a government filter won't have any meaningful impact though.
> the lack of 15-20 minute video content with high production values,

What a truly bizarre tack if that's what they really though. A "30 minute" TV episode is actually about 20-21 minutes minus the ads, intro, and credits.
> we're talking about the attitudes, beliefs and behaviour of a specific subculture: 'cancel culture'. I have set out what I take to be the pathologies of that subculture. Why are you ignoring those pathologies, and talking as if 'cancel culture' didn't exist

Yeah. This is the disconnect. You're asserting without evidence that "cancel culture" exists as "a thing" worth discussing. I assert it doesn't, it's just a bunch of jerks, and ask for evidence about its impact.

And you don't want to engage on that. Which tells me that maybe this isn't really "a thing" worth discussing, just something that you're personally upset about.

How to Overcome Price Objections for Your Product
TikTok is incredibly enjoyable to use even while following literally nobody.

That simply isn't true of IG, FB, SnapChat, etc.
Azure and AWS both have straightforward pricing calculators on their websites though.
My understanding is the FB took MariaDB, hacked on it, and that's how they do their graph like queries. In most end user applications, it's unlikely for there to be many hops.

With Postgres, did you use the Graph extension (plugin?) or use the näive method of 1±N queries / joins?

Claiming Graph DBs will replace everything else because of domain modelling and scheme definitions, I don't see this logical jump.

If you are interested in my take and view on where domain modelling / schema def is going, take a look at our https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof and https://cuelang.org

In short, there will be a single source of truth to designs and they will be written outside of all tech that needs to make use of them. Largely because the design from business is a larger set and each piece of the stack needs a slightly different subset.

I truly believe this is the only solution in the long-term. Certainly it looks impossible for individuals to have access to healthcare without employer-negotiated support, but that’s _because_ it’s the status quo and effectively the only current way to get insurance. If we changed the process across the board (e.g. by banning employer-sponsored healthcare), there would be new systems built so individuals could collectively bargain (or do so through a single-payer government system).

There's no evidence that Adam and the targeted business are in competition. Having intent to harm is sufficient to be a relevant factor.

Also, given the age of XNU, kernel developers come and go, and chances are that typical mistakes (for example, improperly using the MIG) get repeated.
On a tangent, I set up 2FA recently for my Amazon account and deliberatelychose to use Authenticator and avoid SMS based 2FA.

However when you are asked for your code on logging in they allow you to chose to receive an SMS as an alternative and there appears to be no way to turn that off.
It is a hard problem. Historically, people often grew plants in heterogeneous environments because they grew their own crops. Even if it wasn't _all_ of their food, it was still a subset of their food. But it was very labor intensive.

The scale of monocrop farming today with modern tractors is a very new field as well (no pun intended).

With machine learning specifically, I can see a robot arm being able to farm a lot of mixed crops. This is already happening for the most labor-intensive crops like strawberries[0]. Robots are cheap and can work 24/7.

I think it just a matter of time before computers advance enough to be able to perform the basic, repetitive tasks that humans are able to.

Don't see what's wrong with streaming per se. Of course, this is assuming you can cache it if you want to watch it multiple times – which you can't if you have certain kinds of DRM.
It's been less than two months since we last ran across a large prospective customer who is still on XP. This was in the UK, and they handle highly confidential information on those computers.

Supporting XP makes dollars, so supporting XP makes sense. Though it does make me want to tear my eyeballs out.
Not too seriously, but it kind of depends on the project which $OTHER_DISTRO we'll go with, I think.

Debian stable is an obvious choice for projects that don't rely on too much "new stuff" because we already have a lot of stuff that uses APT, deb repositories, etc. Otherwise, probably CentOS/RHEL for those situations that are just ultra-averse to incremental change and prefer a HUGE change once every 5-10 years.

I think we might become a bit more adventurous and move to e.g. NixOS for "newer" projects. That's probably going to have to be trialed for a few projects before we go all in on it, but it seems really nice for servers (and dev machines for that matter), but it'll be interesting to see if you have to truly go all in to reap the benefits. (The worry here would be the amount of upstream 'support' in terms of manpower to bring in security updates, etc.).

(I'm also vaguely aware of SuSE, but I only spent a very brief period of time with it about 10-15 years ago and don't really remember any distinctive features either way. Which is kinda weird, because it seems to be known as the 'popular in Europe' distro?)

I saw that warning when I started to set up my phone and I immediately stopped. If anyone needs to contact me about something urgent they can do it using the work approved IM client that doesn’t require a profile to be installed.

If it does get to the point where I need to have access to my company email, I will have a separate device.

That being said, if my phone was erased, it would only be a slight inconvenience, I can restore from backup.
If you read closely their response is basically a Luddite, anti-tech response. Their problem with the parent was that it suggested using technology.
This is a great answer, thank you for articulating. My only disagreement would be in regards to government being the only institution with the economic incentive to do invest here, long-term. From my understanding of the federal governments involvement in agriculture subsidies, the government seems to be much more in support of the entrenched, large-scale industrial farming systems. I hope for a future where our department of agriculture comes around to support these holistic farming practices.
I'm talking about hearing from the heart and not just in the technical sense that might say "Ok, you said your piece and I heard it, now can we just move on". I believe that most people won't respond dismissively to the suffering of others, if the conditions for hearing each other, really listening and acknowledging, are in place. But it's painful and we avoid those conditions as much as possible. For example,
I heard a story about a little girl at one of the residential schools in Canada where the teacher would stick a pin through her tongue when she was caught speaking her native language. It's really hard to hear something like that. Much easier to say "I don't care", although we normally put it that in more self-serving language. And underlying "I don't care" is something more like, "I can't bear this".

Imagine everyone gets half of (Fund Amount - Amount Earned). Let's say the fund amount is 12.5k a year, if you earn 8k you get half of the difference (4.5k/2 or 2.75k). That would put you at 10.75k, closer to the 12.5k amount. If you earned 0, you'd get 12.5k/2 or 6.25k.

This sort of "progressive" guaranteed income would satisfy this incentivization-of-work requirement, while still dishing out a fund to people in need.

Not "someone like" David Shor. David Shor. He was fired. One guy. And that was wrong[1]. But one guy doesn't an epidemic make.

But, maybe it shouldn't be so easy. And yes, once they're in middle school and high school they'll just figure out alternatives, but I don't think it's unreasonable to put up some dead simple barriers to protect innocence.

Just because it was easy for those of us growing up in the 90s and after doesn't mean all children have to be exposed like that.
Software gives the agriculture industry new tools, it helps gather information, it helps build better machinery and can even help train people. Of course software engineers won't be the only ones contributing to solving these problems, but farmers are very resourceful and tend to welcome any new tools to improve their businesses. They've been improving for the last 10,000 years, why stop now?

I wish that Apple had better support for PWAs and allowed alternative rendering engines. The issue is that they are the only major player in mobile that cares about user privacy, and this allows them to maintain their monopoly for many users.

If the option is Android + first-class support for PWAs vs. Apple with limited support for PWAs, I’ll go for the latter every time.
Interesting. Is the source code available? (asking just out of curiosity)
That valid concern applies equally to non-anonymous information too.

Certainly, knowing the author is a useful part of evaluating some information. But, of course, authorship can be faked too. There's no escape from the need to apply critical reasoning to the information you encounter.
Doesn't this move hurt ride seekers in under-served areas? If every driver now has fixed cost for Uber, each driver needs to be scheduled and positioned to maximize Uber's revenue. A driver's health insurance costs the same whether the driver is driving during prime hours or at 3 in the morning. Uber has every incentive to not schedule many drivers off hours. For riders this mean either no ride or a very high-cost ride, whereas before Uber had no problem with letting as many drivers who wanted drive whenever they wanted.
