Unfortunately I haven’t found any good cycling mapping apps for Tokyo. Most apps try to take you down tiny streets but here those can be pretty dangerous and slow - lots of blind corners and super complicated routes. Best I’ve found is NAVITIME’s 自転車 app but honestly it’s pretty crappy. I end up just eyeballing medium-sized streets on Google Maps and navigate myself; really wish there was something better for here!

Fraudulently wasting my time is just as much of an issue. The wrong occurs when a store works to deceive me. Whether the deception is successful or not does not change the mortality of the action.
That's not state or branching on a high level of a program. It is in some ways the opposite of what I was talking about and a good representation of the problem.

This looks like it is lazily evaluating parts of a tree, which means that you aren't controlling that state, you are hoping that everything works out when you query it with regards to resources, caching, memory layout, memory freeing, etc.

In a non-trivial program that either will need to optimize memory and cpu usage to scale or be careful about how things are structured to maintain interactivity, something like this is likely to be a big problem if that tree gets big.

Bond Yields Are Sending a Scary Signal on Stocks
Recently mother showed up unannounced at my house in tears and SCREAMED at my wife and I for HOURS and wouldn't leave. It was an absolute ambush. The reason? She wanted to get together earlier in the day but we had an appointment so we had to postpone it to later in the day. yes, that's all it takes.

Our son was TEN DAYS OLD at the time. That was 18 months ago.

Since then she's been the nastiest, most unpleasant person to be around and my father is condescending as hell and still tries to boss me around at 35 years old.

This doesn't really feel like a "the past is the past, people have flaws". This more feels like an assault on my day-to-day life.

It has been like this since I was a kid and I see not even the slightest bit of progress or self-reflection. When do I just call it quits?
I'm in the same boat, I pay for the guardian, a couple of smaller newspapers and the Australia institute just trying to even out the balance a little bit since Murdoch and what I would now call the extreme right have over 90% of newspaper of newspaper circulation Australia. A really sad state of affairs, the Australian at least used to have some decent conservative articles with a considered opinion but now it's just rabid and unreadable trash.
How many lives saved the placebo effect could produce?
It is far from solved in Europe. The problem with single-payer healthcare systems that are common here is that you cannot really bypass the supply-demand law. Since European governments are paying for healthcare for everyone, and effectively are setting the prices of healthcare services, keeping them low, the nature compenstates by limiting supply. So, in general, you can get your surgery for free, but you will have to wait 2 years for the next free time slot to have it. So what you save in money, you lose in the lost time.

Technically probably correct, but it seems like the wrong comparison?

Compare them to the G20 or OECD or similar.

The Australian Liberal Party are pretty practical, they keep their nutters out of power, they didn't put forward a comedy prime minister, and they have a sense of duty towards the country.

But, they're definitely a conservative party. The Treasurer cited Reagan and Thatcher as his inspirations this week.

Useful Web Scraping Tips and Tricks for Efficient Business Activities in 2020
The expensive part isn't the writing, editing, or publishing. The expensive part is the marketing. He spent years building a following, which is fantastic. That's the hard part.

A publisher can help you jump start that step by getting your book in stores, on lists, and otherwise talked about. They take a steep cut for that, so it's up to you if it's worth it. But if you don't want to run a weekly podcast, monthly newsletter, and speaking tour, it is worth considering.
Of course! We're happy to help. What are you looking for? After going through 1000's of farms, I've seen some great ones for different products that I could recommend.
Now you’re just pulling out quotes from nowhere. Again, piracy can have the same impacts as theft, and distributing peoples art and works without their consent erodes peoples ability to create.

You are misstating the original post as if it were about the notion of theft, it wasn’t it was arguing that copyright can’t exist (when it clearly does).

If we lived in a post-scarcity world then I would agree there would be no reason to enforce copyright, but that is a fantasy, we don’t and people have to earn a living. There is a reason all countries strive to enforce copyright and that is because it fundamentally protects creation and innovation.

We need to figure out how to do this correctly.

We don’t want Google subsidizing trash like the Sun, we would rather it subsidize high quality information sites like Quanta.

I wonder if Google could create some metric where they would be more than happy to never show results from the Sun, but show results from some places and pay those entities.

Sounds like a win-win-win.

Google wins because it’s search results are higher quality, the high quality news sites win because they can have better journalists, and the public wins because they have better information.
And why does this apply to journalism and not other pretty useless trash like BTC or ad sales or stock price speculation or content marketing or most local and national politics or startups that only sell gourmet pet food?

The irony is that if someone pitched the old newspaper and print magazine model as a startup today - thought leaders, high quality fact-checked journalism, commercial independence but solid relationships with advertisers - it would be branded incredibly exciting and disruptive.
A real one is definitely not needed. Actually being anonymous can bring positive attention of its own too - see "why the lucky stiff".

There's something interesting in there that nobody in this discussion has yet mentioned, nor does the original news article, section 52S:

Subsection (2) applies if the registered news
business corporation for the registered news
business makes a request, in writing, to the
responsible digital platform corporation for
the digital platform service to do any of the
following:

(a) ensure that the registered news business
corporation is provided with flexible
content moderation tools that allow
the registered news business corporation
to remove or filter comments on the registered
news business’ covered news content that:
(i) are made using the digital platform service; and
(ii) are made on a part of the digital platform
service that is set up and able to be edited
by the registered news business;

(b) ensure that the registered news business
corporation can disable the making of such
comments;

(c) ensure that the registered news business
corporation can block the making of such comments:
(i) by particular persons; or
(ii) in particular circumstances.

If I am reading this correctly (a big if!), this gives the news corporations the right to exert complete control over all "comments" on their news articles on these "digital platform services", meaning that, for instance, Hacker News or Reddit, if covered by this law, would no longer be independent sites to discuss news, but would be forcibly placed under the control of the news site. (Not sure those sites would be covered, just using that as an example.)

So if the newspaper leans X, they can shut down all the comments from people who lean the other way, or people who disagree with the article, or anything they like (possibly subject to other laws, but certainly no restrictions are placed here).

That's... full of implications, to say the least.

Having worked at Best Buy in the last few years, this is the exception, not the rule. Employees were required to match the model number, and all price matches require manager overrides. Often times a manager would double-check to make sure the items were identical down to the letter.

A common example of this scam was phone cases. Each retailer is provided the same item with a model number differing by a single letter (A for Amazon, T for Target, B for Best Buy). Because of this deviation I was not allowed to offer price matches on any of these items.

Anecdotal but in Montreal,Canada it's a very different situation. Recruiter calls, number of jobs posts are much higher in the last month or so (despite summer vacations). Many companies from San-Francisco reaching out. Is it because in Canada the Covid-19 spread is under control or because it's all remote now so why not Canada?

Email text as reported:

We're writing to let you know that, as of September 28,
2020 you will no longer be able to use the community
contributions feature on YouTube.

Both creators and viewers have reported problems with
the community contributions feature, including spam,
abuse, and low quality submissions. As a result, the
feature is rarely used with less than 0.001% of
channels having published community captions
(showing on less than 0.2% of watch time) in the last
month. Instead, creators are using YouTube's
alternative captioning tools.

For background, YouTube is committed to helping
creators reach a wide audience and improving
accessibility for everyone. One of the ways we do this
is by providing high-quality captioning and subtitle tools.
There are three ways to add captions to videos:

1. Creator uploaded captions
2. Automatic captions provided by YouTube

3. Captions provided by the community (also known
as community contributions).

You have until 9/28 to publish your community
contributions before they're removed. After this date,
the feature will no longer be available. Already
published community caption tracks will still be
accessible.

For more information, check out this help center article.

Sincerely,
The YouTube Team

What is glossed over is that "0.2% of watch time" is 2,000,000 hours per day.
The Tech Industry and Censorship
I've been trying to loosen up with my small subscriptions like this. Back when I became a consistent member of the internet and multiple communities on it, I was a middle school student with no money, and when I did have pocket change from mowing lawns, I had no way to exchange it online. I gravitated towards free content because of this. Even once I was working and had a bank account at 16, I still felt weird about committing to a subscription. Now that I keep my costs low and work full time, I have a disposable income that could be spent on these creators, but there are so many that I don't know where to put it. Should it go to the long time creators I've followed since those middle school days, or should I throw it towards the real underdogs right now?

There is only so much to go around from my pockets, and just like the author says, it adds up quickly.

I live with someone who does not 'forget' and accumulates. It eats at them every day. They get wildly angry at total strangers now for slight transgressions. I regularly have to walk them through how most of what happens is not aimed at them. People are just kinda of selfish or literally did not see you. It eats at them all the time. I find them sitting in a room. "what are you thinking" they will bring up something that happened well over 30 years ago as if it just happened to them 5 minutes ago. Sometimes it is how someone made a bad turn in front of them in a car, sometimes it is how someone swindled them for money. Yes, that was crappy what happened but if you live with that sort of thing all the time you will be depressed and angry (as you can do nothing now). You will bring down those around you. You will always be on edge and guarded against anything that may harm you. Real forgiveness takes 'letting go' of it. You can remember it so they do not do it to you again. But be careful not to hold on to it and relive it over and over.

Side-note for people switching work, move your money from your direct deposit account before starting a new job.

I was talking to a security researcher about a friend who had a full interview with a company, sent papers for hiring, filled everything out, and then discovered the company she was interviewing for was named similar to a real company, with the only difference being a hyphen in the website name. The company was fake and once they had direct deposit information, drained her bank account. She was lucky there was only ~$1k in it. still.

Do your due diligence. Be careful out there.

> We have zero tolerance for misuse of credentials or tools, actively monitor for misuse, regularly audit permissions, and take immediate action if anyone accesses account information without a valid business reason.

Okay, so who has been fired?

That's what "zero tolerance" means: no excuses, not even "someone tricked me." And no punishment but the maximum.

Anything less would involve some degree of tolerance, and when you say "zero" that means no tolerance whatsoever.

It's obviously stupid to manage any organization that way, of course. It's a fatuous, dishonest phrase.

So stop talking about "zero tolerance" since all it means is "we make hyperbolic claims that we have no intention of living up to."

> When do I just call it quits?

Ten years ago. The second best time is right now. You do not have to take abuse from them because they are family. "the past is the past, people have flaws" is only valid for things that are actually in the past. Sounds like your parents' abuse would be much easier to deal with if it was a part of the past.
Their wholesale removal of features and entire damned products would not leave such a bad taste in my mouth if they didn’t build their entire business on the back of pushing you to live your digital life in their playground. I’ve done my best to divert myself of having anything in any vertical that Google is in being mainlined in my online activities. I’m sick of being the product, I’m sick of making their business billions of dollars only for them to once again pull the rug out from under us.
As a rule if I feel someone makes an honest apology, I will almost always forgive them, at least if they did something to me (and I try really hard to apply the reverse and apologize sincerely if I think there's even a chance of something being my fault).

What I've found is that I'm far less-willing or able to forgive people for doing things to hurt people that aren't me. For example, I haven't talked to my grandmother in almost 4 years because she said some really racist stuff that would get this post flagged if I repeated it. Do these comments hurt me, a yuppie white dude who's biggest problem is being bored from working at home? No, not really, but it's not just about me, and I feel like "forgiveness" would be insulting to the people who it does hurt.

I'll admit this might be a character flaw on my end, but I also don't see myself changing on that.

The Land of the Giants podcast series also touches on Amazon's financing, capitalization.

Amazon's core innovations are, in order, 1) tax avoidance, 2) profits avoidance, and 3) treating knowledge workers as an inexhaustible resource to burn thru.
These comments perfectly demonstrate the hypocrisy of [a certain demographic]. They will take every opportunity to beat Black people over the head with: "Well Jews and Asians were discriminated against. Look how great they're doing!" Leaving aside whether the histories are comparable, both of those groups practiced extensive cooperative economics. But if Black people just attempt to do the same? If Black people go left they will criticize. If they go right they will criticize. [A certain demographic's] sole interest is in attacking Black people and its been that way for five centuries. I know a couple of Black business owners who don't want that fact known precisely because they know it'll make them a target from [a certain demographic's members].

This is what people are afraid of. If you live in a city where you have IT salaries over 100k (Seattle, San Fransisco, Chicago), companies may be using this as an opportunity to hire 'cheaper' workers in markets where you don't need that type of income to pay rent.

There was a lot of hiring early on. We might see big tech layoffs come August/September.
Why not move and call it quits? That might actually enable you to forgive them (from afar). Calling it quits was the first step in my forgiveness towards my parents. You could send them occasional updates but you shouldn't feel like you're obligated to otherwise engage (at least for a period of like 6 months - and then reevaluate).
How do you drain somebody's bank account with deposit information?
I do not know what "victim mindset" is supposed to be. Victim is descriptor - something negative was done to you. You don't become victim by looking at things certain way. Nor you do stop being one. If you was robbed, you are robbery victim regardless of what your mindset is.

Most of this is about denying that you might be victim of something either to yourself or to others.

Plus, people actually really do deny that. If you read this article in full, majority of examples are about trying to figure out whether you don't misremember or misrepresent what happened.

Getting angry for nothing is completely another topic. There is nothing to forgive then.

Not forgiving does not mean you always think and remeber of. This yet another issue.

Not forgiving means just that. If anybody asks you if you forgave you answer no. Not that you despair every moment thinking about who wronged you when.
