The Overton window wasn't that far left in 2009. A good deal of the Obamacare messaging was focused around telling middle class Americans that no, they would not lose their existing employer-provided coverage. And even if you could pull out all the data that would show that Medicare for All benefited people more than existing coverage no one would've believed it.

This one is adjustable, just not very easily (it's still accessible through the hole in the bottom of the case) --- perhaps because they don't plan on it needing much adjustment other than the initial factory setting.
I don't consider that file backed since they pull memory from the same pool as anonymous memory and not the page cache. The Linux kernel docs makes the distinction between file backed and anonymous memory. I think a better term would probably be page cached backed memory vs anonymous memory.
Thanks for the clarification, I can see that now after rereading, that makes sense.
The point is that on the day that the USPS hires a 20-year-old employee they immediately need to set aside money for this worker's healthcare at age 90, which is an astronomical sum (as projections of future healthcare costs are inevitably astronomical).

And no, no private entity in the US is required to prefund retiree health benefits.
Yes, I was trying to think of something real quick, so I picked the resolution of my (older) monitor at work because it was simple. You caught me!
For a large number of engineers in the target market of this service, a commitment of $50/mo subscription service (which translates to $600/yr) can be put on the credit card without too many hoops, but a commitment of 10x that (translating to $6000/yr) may require actual approvals and a business case. The first price raise might have been successful because it was still in the realm of "put it on the card", but 10x the current price quickly pushes that into a different territory

The illegality of murder destroys the business model of hitmen. Destroying harmful business models is the idea.

It's not as if consoles wouldn't exist under a different business model. The console itself would cost more (or just generate less profit) and the games would cost less. It's hard to see how that wouldn't be an improvement.
I dislike the lisp convention of remove-if, remove-if-not, etc. Filter and take isn't much better. The python convention is much nicer:

[x for x in foo if x not in y]

Turns out, this can be expressed in Lisp:

(list x for x in foo if x not in y)

I've implemented this into my fork of Lumen that runs on Python. https://github.com/shawwn/pymen It feels very nice to use:

> (list x for x in (range 10) if (= (% x 2) 0))

Javascript and Python have similar capabilities, but they're missing the stream fusion optimization mentioned at https://chrisdone.com/posts/stream-composability/

Javascript:

a = [...Array(20).keys()]
p = x=>!(x%2);
a.slice(3).filter(p).slice(0,3)

Python:

a = range(20)
p = lambda x: not x%2

>Which Republicans have caused USPS to has a history of financial issues?

The ones who in 2006 forced the USPS to pre-fund their retirement obligations.

https://about.usps.com/who-we-are/financials/annual-reports/...

>>Unlike any other public or private entity, under a 2006 law, the U.S. Postal Service must pre-fund retiree health benefits. We must pay today for benefits that will not be paid out until some future date. Other federal agencies and most private sector companies use a “pay-as-you-go” system, by which the entity pays premiums as they are billed. Shifting to such a system would equate to an average of $5.65 billion in additional cash flow per year through 2016, and save the Postal Service an estimated $50 billion over the next ten years. With the announcement of our Action Plan in March, we began laying the foundation for change, requesting that Congress restructure this obligation.

>>The pre-funding requirement, as it currently stands, contributes significantly to postal losses. Under current law, the Postal Service must follow a mandated pre-funding schedule of $5.5 billion to $5.8 billion per year through 2016.

It shouldn't, that's the whole reason SMT exists. If there is detectable jitter that would be notable.

People have a bad taste in their mouth that was left circa ~2000(?) from some Intel parts with a pipeline that was too deep. Ever since that was fixed most workloads do see a 2x speedup when enabling SMT.
I mean, compared to the majority of streaming platforms (YouTube, Spotify), sure. But there's the entire world of lossless music that just outperforms vinyls in every way.

But yeah, in both cases, you'd need to shell out at least a couple of hundred euros on speakers to fully experience either vinyls or lossless, and that has proven to be not important to the vast majority of the people.

I have a pretty large collection of lossless files, a record player, some vinyls, and speakers that allow me to tell the difference, but I still play Spotify on them like 95% of the time.

> It will end because many people derive a good portion of their day-to-day socialization from work.

People did this because it was the easiest thing.

When you work from home, you still derive a goodly portion of social interaction from work, using appropriate media. What else happens is you discover a whole world of life outside the office too, and that life is vastly more expansive and valuable in the long term.

You're not a job. You're not even a career. The cow orkers you see from time to time at the office are ephemeral friends at best as you move on to different jobs. Your family, spouse, kids, neighbours, religious or sports community, or local pub are all better and more appropriate lonog-term social commitments than your workplace.

I hope those stupid compa ies would never come back to FB with their spending. Lack of blue chips on FB allowed SMBs to get cheaper ads on FB and their overall spending is bigger than blue chips so at the end FB benefited from this action. So those stupid companies are pu usher as their SMB competitors increases their market share!
> Democratic administrations, even with majorities to pass legislation, have done nothing to correct much of the anti-democratic processes in the US including elections being on a non-holiday Tuesday, absentee ballots being limited / restricted and operating state-by-state, the persistence of first past the post voting being the least representative form of election, the continued existence of the electoral college and senate, nothing to correct the loss of voting rights for felons, and more.

How many of those issues could the Democrats have fixed without passing a constitutional amendment? Such a change requires more than a Democratic administration with a legislative majority.
I don't buy iOS devices for personal use for this precise reason, so you are wrong in attributing me this "you made the first choice".

Btw, another popular argument defending Apple is "Sideloaded apps will defraud users by tricking them into giving payment information and stealing funds" - but Apple already defrauded their users by selling them the device and next blocking them from using it in any way they want.

If a user wants to run an app on iOS device, and apps developer wants a user to run this app, it should not be Apple's business to stop them from doing it.

AIUI N95 masks give you some protection against others who are emitting the virus whereas a simple cloth mask catches wet aerosolised particles in the 0.1 seconds they take to dry up, meaning that they protect other people from you.

It's not that they are, in fact, not a criminal. That's probably true, since unless you're using a deeply fucked up juridiction's definition of criminal, most people aren't criminals, but that's not the point. What's nuts is treating the claims of a algorithm you don't understand as evidence that someone is a criminal, rather than as unsubstantiated hearsay the way you would if a human made such a claim.

Googling “memphis style symbols” gives no useful results, just poorly made stock art. The design of the site is not at all akin to the Memphis Group, which is characterized by a sense of whimsy and lack of gravity, clashing colors and dazzling patterns.

Regarding neumorphism, I’d bet that will be much like the “long shadow” trend of yore; an interesting style that is hyped until, a short time after, the appeal of the newness and uniqueness wears off completely.
In my universe, I make that (net even, not gross) in half a year with essentially zero responsibility for marketing, taxes, customer support, etc. - nobody can realistically steal my work and cut into my wages with it - far less stress - and I keep making that over and over again every 6 months without having to do anything really that new or different.

In comparison, a game that grossed $100k, which I have to pay self-employment taxes on, and perhaps app store fees out of that too, sounds awfully mediocre, at best.

"There are plenty of innovations and certainly there is the tendency to use them to raise the prices for consumers (which is illegal) as opposed to grow the market."

Ouf, no, every company developers or buys technologies, which gives them competitive advantage and hence some margin.

This is not 'illegal' this is just normal business.

The App Store, however, is a different thing altogether, and there may be anti-trust issues there.

Finally - if Android was not part of Google, it's possibly they never would have seen the light of day. Android is not special. That it was free, backed by a massive company, chock full of all sorts of other services and 100's of millions in app development and R&D, promoted by the biggest software distributor in the world - is what made it 'special'. Danger was just a way for Google to move quickly into the space.

Without 'free Android' eating away at the bottom end of BlackBerry while the iPhone ate away at the top end ... we might be using iPhones and BlackBerries today.

The anti-trust case against Apple is legit, but it's also not perfectly straight forward. I hope Telegram wins, because if the EU requires Apps out of the App Store even just in Europe, I feel it would probably roil into the rest of thew world quickly enough and we can be free of that walled garden.

Among the organizers' 10 headline demands (https://www.stophateforprofit.org/productrecommendations) are:

4. Find and remove public and private groups focused on white supremacy, militia, antisemitism, violent conspiracies, Holocaust denialism, vaccine misinformation, and climate denialism.

6. Stop recommending or otherwise amplifying groups or content from groups associated with hate, misinformation or conspiracies to users.

7. Create an internal mechanism to automatically flag hateful content in private groups for human review. Private groups are not small gatherings of friends - but can be hundreds of thousands of people large, which many hateful groups are.

So while they do want other things as well, the censorship seems like a pretty central part of the platform.

> Network loading of a new page is unavoidable (out of the control of the page author)

Nope, the author had complete control over how much information they wanted to show on the main page vs the details page. In desktop view they show the single-sentence descriptions on the main page, in mobile they don't. So they've forced mobile users to wait for the network load (potentially much more than 400ms) completely unnecessarily.

> Scrolling is another interaction that meets rule #2, it doesn't break the rule.

Sure, it doesn't break rule #2 specifically, but it does break #3. And, more importantly, it's shitty UX and has no place on a "Rules of UX" website, except maybe as a counterexample.
I find it ironic that the number heading contrast with the background is almost non-existent.
If you look at the history of Switzerland, there have been multiple civil wars between Catholics and Protestants, from the 16th through to the 19th centuries. So tensions have certainly been there for much of Swiss history.

That ended in the 19th century, however, and in the 20th and 21st centuries, those religious tensions are not what they used to be. (That's not something unique to Switzerland; most European countries, religious tensions people used to kill each other over, nobody cares about any more. Here in Australia, my grandfather told me how as a Catholic in the 1940s, he couldn't get certain jobs because some employers refused to hire Catholics, and the law let them get away with that. But, I've never heard in contemporary Australia of someone refusing to hire a Catholic, indeed nowadays it would be illegal for a secular employer to do so.)

Certainly you are right, that however bad Catholic-Protestant tension may have been in Swiss history, it still was nothing compared to the treatment of African-Americans.
Not really. In the example, function composition, `.`, joins the functions together.

You can smash a list of functions together but they'd all have to take and return the same type, and the list would introduce commas and square brackets, so it wouldn't look quite the same.

Even if you can manage to stay alert for so long, wide parts of the population cannot, which is why maximum limits have been introduced for commercial drivers everywhere (and accidents rates have fallen correspondingly), and why in accidents drivers who have been on the road too long are generally found to be at least partially at fault.

Additionally, who says you're actually able to drive safely after 13 hours and react to something like, let's say, a child hopping in front of your car and that you just have been extremely lucky?

Sideloading is you press a link, download app, install it (granting permissions), run it. Anything else is not sideloading.

Alternative appstore is basically same as sideloading, cause the latter is necessary for the former to function.

Btw important overlooked issue is not only sideloading per se, but unrestricted access to push notifications / subscribing to alternative push notification services. With restrictions on running in background iOS apps are next to useless without notifications - you won't get VoIP, email, chat apps working without capability to wake up on push.

The simple truth is that success in any creative field is based more on chance and mass appeal than any creative merit. For every JK Rowling there are hundreds of published novelists who barely make a living, and thousands who a publisher wouldn't even take a chance on.

If you're in it for the passion, you'll do it whether you make money or not. Big successes are an anomaly, regardless of which mechanism the industry chooses to split up the loot. (Always in the favor of the publisher/label/whatever.)

If we want to encourage creativity, UBI is a better deal than worrying overmuch about trying to shoehorn creativity into revenue models. Because then at least the extra money, however much, would be extra on top instead of wholly inadequate.

Tell that to people that live in Colorado, Oregon, Washington, or (mostly) Utah. They've been voting by mail for years.

I'd worry a lot more about computerized election systems before voting by mail. I think people are too worried about individual votes/errors. 0.0x% of ballots being lost/not counted/etc. is a problem with any election system ("hanging chads", signatures not matching well, ...), not just voting by mail. The question should be how hard is it to pull off a large scale disruption/fraud without being detected.

Point 1 interests me because I have seen it play out.

I work for a small unit of a large organization now and we have a highly formal process for buying SaaS subscriptions. You fill out some paperwork explaining why you need it, in 1 to 2 weeks you tend to hear it is approved or (best of all) the large organization has a site license already they can put you on.

You have to have some brakes on subscriptions.

I worked at a small co where we had maybe 20-30 different SaaS tools that we stored "documents" in. Every week we had an all hands and somebody would bring up the problem that they can't find documents and that the answer is that we need to have a new place to put documents.

The group seemed impervious to the obvious objection that having more possible places to put documents would make it harder to find documents. So we wound up with a lot of SaaS subscriptions, a lot of talking, but very little listening.

The obvious business response that to problem is to build "one ring to rule them all"; e.g. a small instance of the thing that the n.s.a. uses to read your email, sans the cryptoanalysis bit.

That's an astonishingly hard sell. On one hand that system is an existential threat to all SaaS vendors from Salesforce.com to the very smallest. So you know you'll get resistance.

Even though Google is great at making money from ads, the search is not impressive in 2020. (Look at the second page of results, then the third, and ask "why do they bother showing any of this crap?") Corporations still buy OpenText. Ask people what is a scalable full-text search engine and they say "Solr" (have you really seen how it executes queries?) The only full-text search I like these days is pubmed.

We can do better.
