Emerging Principles of the Digital Economy
It's surprising that it took so long to identify this as a dangerous lie
During quarantine, me and a couple of colleagues have been doing pair-programming sessions with three or more people. We were joking on doing a twitch stream. I think it could work.
Well, an army of bots is not free. So you have a new medium which allows power in the real world to become manifested in the digital world.

Illiberal forces have been using capital to mess with the institutions of open and free discourse since before the printing press, Twitter is just yet another new market where power and money matter.
As someone who has lived on both sides of the border, my theory is that Canadians are just less politically active. I can remember major bills coming for vote and sure, you'd see a few news articles, but rarely did it become entrenched in daily discussion.

I actually liked the US approach when I first arrived - "how great! everyone is passionate about politics!". I find it somewhat draining now. There is almost no part of life (work, friends, random strangers) where politics doesn't come up.
The US has minted half cent coins in the past.
Let's bump "terrifying" up a notch: Humans are persistence hunters, able to keep moving long after our prey has collapsed from exhaustion.

This also describes zombies.
so for everyone outside China/the US: what's the problem if you have to stop the consumption of surveillance tools?
The only coins we need are dimes. Round cash transactions to the nearest $0.1. Make everyone's lives simpler.
I have explored the Node ecosystem/frameworks and Python/Django, but I still wouldn't trade Rails for anything.
Yeah, there's so much good stuff I had to take it in a few visits.
When v2 is removed, I'll be shocked if etcd isn't forked because it still has enough value to enough people to maintain it.

But it hasn't been removed yet. It might be cynical, but I think a v2 fork now won't accomplish anything because the people most interested in one would simply continue to use v2 upstream.
Discrimination is a legal word. She used the phrase "unlawful discrimination" which means she is using it in a legal context. Discrimination is not defined by being "subjected to harassing and hostile behavior" unless the reason for that behavior focuses on a protected class. There is nothing unlawful about treating her poorly based on her "unorthodox thoughts".
Amazon introduces Dash Cart, essentially an Amazon Go store on wheels
And that is on top of the mismanagement of PPP funds after the IG over that was fired and replaced with a loyalist. We are only starting to see where billion of tax dollars went including a large chunk to churches and millions to Kanye West and campaign donors/supporters. If one has an issue with looting by protestors, they really need to look at the looting by the wealthy. Not just PPP loan abuse but also historically low tax rates and a pass for environmental abuse too.
While I know there are better and more numerically stable ways to implement it, think of the softmax function. It is perfectly possible to have a list of non-astronomical/non-Plancklength numbers, naively softmax it, and die because of precision.
Absolutely, most journalists do not understand basic quantitative reasoning or economic principles.

For example, I read a BBC article a while back about a sand shortage in India. It turns out the government imposed a price-ceiling, and there was no shortage at all (sand was available in the black market) - there was just a shortage at the government mandated price point.

Any economics 101 student can tell you that if you set a price-ceiling there will be a shortage.

Fair enough. I find that Wall Street journal, Reuters, and NPR all do better jobs (in roughly that order) with respect to reigning-in their biases than the NYT.
I think that you can do something like this with VS Code's Live Share[1] feature. And I think it's possible to do read-only sessions as well. Been a while since I looked at that feature though, so I'm not certain.

Alternatively, an invalid instruction fault is signaled, handled by the OS, which activates the core capable of that instruction and migrates the process there. Not cheap, but I would expect that to happen rarely, if the lesser core is only used during low-power operation.

Conversely I almost never carry change in the US and, on the increasingly rare occasions I use cash, I usually just bring the change home and dump it in a bucket. I don't want change that has any significant value.

I hope you're not the technical lead for your company. If so, you should hire a security and privacy consultant.

> In regards to your browser history, this is not shared nor stored on our servers. You have to specifically opt in to allow access to the History permission, and this is only so you can search your history. Again, nothing stored on the servers.

If you have my tab info, you have my history. It doesn't matter if you tell me you're deleting it. You could have logs, either intentionally or unintentionally.

> is mundane and harmless, except of course the URL

A URL IS NOT MUNDANE AND HARMLESS. I can't stress that enough. I almost never use all-caps, but this is something that is actually something worth screaming.

It's very easy to turn even a short URL history into a unique identifier for someone. Once you can "fingerprint" them that way, you can find out what they're shopping for, which bank(s) they use, and even private medical information.

> Also clearly outlined in the privacy policy is that this information is encrypted, secure, and never shared or sold to third parties.

Encrypted in transit or at rest? Who has the encryption key? What does "secure" mean to you, and who is certifying that it's secure? Do you have a CTO with a track record of building secure products? Who exactly is running your company, anyway?

As far as never selling to third parties, that means exactly nothing. You could be piping all of our data into Google or any other third party without selling it. If it leaves your servers, it doesn't matter whether it's sold or not -- it's still leaked.

> Furthermore, we are not storing this information just because. Partizion stores your collections of tabs so that you can access them from any device and any browser. This is something that cannot be achieve by using chrome's storage API or syncing.

From literally the first bullet point on the chrome.storage documentation:

> "User data can be automatically synced with Chrome sync"

So again, you seem to lack even a basic understanding of the technical details of this product. If your best explanation for storing extremely sensitive data in your cloud is that you didn't read the Chrome extension docs carefully, or you don't understand Chrome's APIs, then you shouldn't be in this business.
YAML actually has one of the worst default behaviors I've seen: automatic conversion of certain strings to bools.

This wouldn't be a problem if YAML required that all strings be quoted...but it doesn't, and there's no "strict" mode to force quotes, so users are extremely likely to end up doing something that behaves unexpectedly.

If you're lucky, you'll spot the problem quickly instead of wasting half a day on it.
Mine certainly were too.
The application of the law as intended is not 'problematic', it is Google that is problematic in the sense that they seem to be of the opinion that the law does not apply to them. If you don't act in good faith and in fact try to interpret the law when it comes to the actions of private individuals then you really can not complain if the judiciary disagrees with you. That's a risk you took. Keep in mind that Google would have lost nothing if they had just complied with the request, instead, they decided to make a stand and show that they were in the right. Tough luck.
I wanted to write “duh!” but I think programmers need to hear this over and over. Thanks.
especially for subscription services, I have the feeling that the jump from $0 to $10 /mo is far, far higher than the jump from $10 to $50 /mo, and the difference between $0->$10 $0->$50 is fairly low, in terms of how people approach payments. Ofc, I have nothing legitimate to back this up.

But if I'm correct, and that people are more payment-adverse than they cost-conscious, for online subs, then it's generally correct to follow the subsidy-model rather than anything else. Subsidization is anyways far superior to the advert-model -- though it can be abused when taken to the extreme, e.g. gaming whales + gambling mechanics, but in a corp-to-corp setting I'm not seeing to much risk there. The other side of it is that enforces monopolistic structures -- essentially forcing global market share by leveraging your enterprise weight -- which is more concerning to me but seems to be generally inevitable (gov intervention is really the only thing stopping monopolies from existing, because really by all right its a perfectly valid market strategy)

I'm assuming I'm correct because companies keep implementing/switching to this model (and this is the best reasoning I can think of), but maybe its just part of a non-intelligent fashion trend (signalling difference from LEGACY software model to MODERN)
The OP you're responding to is correct that his popularity is MUCH higher than your response suggests:

"In January 2015, the podcast was listened to by more than 11 million people. By October 2015, it had grown to acquire 16 million downloads a month. By April 2019, the podcast had 190 million downloads a month."

That's a lot higher a number than your NYT 6 million subscribers (-1 as I just canceled in early June after it became clear how far along it is in its transformation into naked narrative-driven agitprop).

The NYT has become a niche market.
This post sums up the last decade. Shouldn't tools and protocols become simpler and easier to use? If megacorps can use complexity to reduce democratization of the web, they will because of profit motive.
That's not true at all. HTTP/2 is hugely impactful without using push at all—multiplexing beyond 4/8 streams enables radically different, performant bundling strategies, all "for free" with zero configuration, just by the act of using the protocol.
Consensus building? If a party in Canada gets a majority in Parliament, they can pass whatever bills they want (the senate rarely intervenes unless it's really controversial). And individual MPs have much less leeway to stray from the party line.

The US system is much more adversarial. Even if a single party gets the house, senate and presidency, there isn't much stopping individual party members from voting against the party line.

It's true consensus is need with a coalition/minority government, but they don't seem to happen that often. Yes, I know there is one right now.
But then how would we make souvenir flattened pennies for .26 at tourist traps?

Seriously, I haven’t used cash in so many years that I literally can’t remember the last time I touched paper money or coins. Maybe 15 years ago? As far as I’m concerned, we’ve already transitioned to a 100% digital economy and there is no longer a need for analog money.
Benchmarking the Tesla Model Y
Thanks much! I just checked this out, it looks amazing and simple.
Airbus is known for their "dark cockpit" concept which is similar. Essentially, the presence of indicator lights or icons on MFDs should indicate to pilots that some action needs to be taken. Ideally, the action needed is the same one done by pressing the button that has lit up. This should make it easier for pilots to identify what needs attention, especially when something abnormal happens.

A similar strategy they've taken, which the computing industry could learn from, is a central fault management system which prioritizes any faults or alarms that occur during flight and only minimally alerts pilots (e.g. single warning light) if they do not require immediate attention. Instead of distracting pilots with minor alarms, minor faults are displayed for review after landing, when they are actionable by reporting the problems to maintenance. If an emergency does occur in flight, having all fault indications displayed in one place by severity hopefully makes it faster/easier for pilots to understand the problem.
There is a difference in the standing of the groups. Nowadays, even anti-Irish prejudice is probably not that common anymore in the anglosphere, and anti-Irish violence or laws are even less of a problem. That doesn't mean that there isn't an ugly history around that, and doesn't make all jokes ok, but it is a difference from groups where the topic is more sensitive.

And given the prevalence of e.g. anti-trans sentiments, it's also more likely that "memes making fun of them" actually has a side-note of "memes suggesting they are mentally ill", "memes suggesting violence against them is ok", ..., which is not justified against any group.

You can appeal these fines in the court system if you want, and google always does this. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose.

There's no chilling effect on free speech that I can see. All speech is subject to GDPR, so it only matters when the speech is collected and how it is processed, not what the speech actually is. This is different from DMCA where whether a request is rightful or wrongful is determined by the content that the user provided. In the case of GDPR whether the request is wrongful is determined by your own actions as a controller, not any action of the user. Therefore the chilling effect is only on collecting and processing speech, not on the expression of it.
BLM Triggers Thousands of Domain Registrations
Well, if an airplane/boat pilot formation is required to get the "right" definition of the word autopilot, there is a problem, IMHO.
No, just the common understanding of autopilot for aircraft.

I assume, just like with cars, things can happen quickly with a boat.
I used to do some livecoding myself. The answer is that it depends on the specific things you are working on. Some thing lend themselves very poorly for livecoding, but others work out pretty well.

For example, if you are doing interview practice, for Google style interviews, livecoding your interview practice is actually a pretty good experience.

Coding in front of an audience isn't much different than coding in front of an interviewer, if you think about it.
And also a first violation of this kind for this court. A second one would likely not pass unnoticed. A case here in NL where a hospital first got warned then got fined a small amount and then got fined a - for that hospital - massive amount certainly put them on notice. That's an error that will not be repeated a fourth time.
Yeah (fortunately or unfortunately), that's the world that capitalism has made.

To be fair, lots of people in the UK don't like them because of their stance on Brexit, but I really appreciate their coverage of conservative political voices is much more restrained rather than the click-driven style of the Guardian or the NYT.

Their environmental coverage is terrible though, so I wouldn't treat them as my only news source.
also, this planet is within the foundation universe/series[0].

I really enjoyed that series and if you enjoyed that writing you may enjoy that as well.

I am one of the many who doesn't believe in salary paid job because no job will pay you well enough to get rich, it only pay your bill each month and the circle begin again over and over! Financial liberation begins with being self employed and motivated. Who else agree with me?

but your wifi is unreliable and slow. Instead of buying a good AP, buy this 5G modem for only $5 and get your nice, capped 20MBit/s for $200 a month. Isn't this just what you need, when every site is slowly just getting a fibre-connection theoretically allowing a community hosted mobile mesh-network in any city which deserves the name.
> There are apps on iOS that will share the screen content and camera content and a quick google seems to surface the same for Android.

I have been on the look for something like that in the past. I know of software sharing the camera via NDI, but it was my understanding that doing the same with the screen was not possible inside Apple's sandbox.

You can use AirPlay, of course, but then you're stuck with hoping that on the next OS update the AirPlay server software you're bought is updated quickly.

So please do name one if you're aware.
This isn't a comment on the advertising but I am struck by how Tesla and Elon Musk remind me of Apple and Steve Jobs. Both very divisive companies and leaders prone to downright emotional attacks from one side and staunch defense by the other. While has been quite a bit of hyperbole, overselling, and straight up failure to deliver, you can't dispute that both pushed their respective industries forward almost singlehandedly and consequently reap the financial success.

I'm not promoting the products of the work as it sits, I'm just happy to see accessible open source propaganda identification efforts. We can't count on service providers who've accommodated low friction access to globally distributed propaganda as part of their business model to respond adequately or appropriately.
That web site clearly advertises a Tesla car. Hence it is an advertisement.

Maybe you meant to say "TV commercial"? The German law doesn't make that distinction though, which means that blatantly false claims about capabilities of a product are just as illegal on the products' website as they are in a products' TV commercial.
When a plane auto-pilot fails (e.g. Boeing 737-MAX), the manufacturer is responsible for the failure and its consequences.

That has always been the definition of auto-pilot.

Tesla might be able to redefine the term in the US, but this ruling is proof that other countries disagree with that.

Whatever Tesla is shipping isn't an autopilot, and calling it that is just deceptive marketing.

Is there any such library for Go? I was searching one for simple algebra stuff while back and only prominent math library for Go seems to be gonum[1] which for lack of better term seemed 'too large' for my purpose.

Sure, people should indeed become "sorta good" at multiple skills. In practice, they do. Many people know how to doodle or play charades or tell stories or sing sea-shanties. Otherwise, hobbyist Cessna pilots would not exist -- nor the word "hobby". In real life, statements like "he is even unable to entertain himself" are pretty false.

> the vast majority of real life is not D-Day or crash landing in the Hudson

Sure, but a significant portion of life is spent interacting with the results of other people's work. When you get into a car, would you rather that its microcontrollers were programmed by someone who

A: Felt continually distressed and defeated that he had not thoroughly mastered sailing, animal husbandry, military history, rhetoric, first aid, copy-editing, painting, masonry, carpentry, and several other skills.

B: Felt fulfilled that the only domains in which he had deep knowledge were microcontroller programming, cooking seafood to his wife's taste, and the emotional/medical meanings of their child's sounds -- yet that they had merely a hobbyists' knowledge of hiking, sketching, kites, anime, and the history of flight.

Because I'd rather a world with more of B and less of A.

A good way - a single day where each turned in penny gives you 3 "cents" in exchange. Of course you would be giving out only dollar or higher bills in such a program.
As vibernum mentioned[1], tax revenue comes into play as well.

My municipality's school budget, as an example, is heavily reliant on a portion of local sales tax proceeds in addition to property taxes. So at a time when they're having an unanticipated spike in immediate expenses (increased sanitation/facilities costs, pppe costs, widescale elearning investments and implementation, drastically increased administrative burden, capital purchases for student technology, etc), they're also seeing an unanticipated drop in revenue.

It really is a shame the federal government isn't stepping up more in this area. Even with the relatively small amount of relief funds allocated to primary education, states are having to sue the Education Department to even keep their hands on what they've been allocated[2].

I use a good weekly cleaner, and she does not organize my stuff. If anything, hiring her has forced me to organize more frequently so my stuff is not in her way when she comes to clean.

It's a totally different use case to have a labor-saving device available 24/7. For example, I did not stop using my dishwasher when I hired a cleaner, and my cleaner does not do my dishes or put them away.
I think the comment above is suggesting that, either instead of or alongside, current Fed cash injections and distributions by the Treasury we need to push for and implement programs that leverage us out of the QE cycle. A universal healthcare system, student loan forgiveness and free or reduced cost education, a basic income over complex safety net benefits, that sort of thing. As it stands, QE is preventing a massive crash but it's not a long term solution.
It's incredible how when its not China, you are always "its up to the community to decide". But when it comes to China, you go out of your way to freeze discussion.

"this behavior" being insults, mobbing and "ax emojis + name", not "disagreement", apparently.

Wouldn't you? And if you don't, why would you draw any line? Why shouldn't it be okay to get beaten up for saying "the wrong thing", it shouldn't be "consequence free speech" after all?
