I suspect that Microsoft wants to buy TikTok as a favor to the US Government. I view this as possibly a repeat of Ebay/Microsoft buying Skype as a favor to the US Government.

If moderating TikTok is too much of a hassle, they'll probably just mismanage it into irrelevancy (having already accomplished their primary objective of satisfying the American government that TikTok isn't a threat to American interests (either commercial or national security.))
You started with masks, not social distancing, so sticking to your original argument, I'd say that link you provided just indicates that masks worked well enough to protect the protestors, even without considering the social distancing aspect.

That still isn't a reason to ban the app until there is evidence that such a thing has been done. In other words, punishing the crime before it is committed seems unjust.

Yeah, different tool though.

An active mode IMSI capture device (eg, a Stingray) can:

Extracting stored data such as International Mobile Subscriber Identity ("IMSI") numbers and Electronic Serial Number ("ESN")

Writing cellular protocol metadata to internal storage

Forcing an increase in signal transmission power

Forcing an abundance of radio signals to be transmitted

Forcing a downgrade to an older and less secure communications protocol if the older protocol is allowed by the target device, by making the Stingray pretend to be unable to communicate on an up-to-date protocol

Interception of communications data or metadata

Using received signal strength indicators to direction find the cellular device[9]
Conducting a denial of service attack

Oop, near forgot the reference https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_and_further_educatio...

Radio jamming for either general denial of service purposes or to aid in active mode protocol rollback attacks
But 5k in credits is worthless to someone who doesn't need them, so even if it's 1c, that's something. (Or really, so long as it's more than you can sell the account for.)
Yes, thanks! Just edited
> Many years ago a colleague of mine at the time got stuck in a nuclear power station for a few hours because he tailgated someone into the plant but the systems wouldn't let him out as he appeared never to have entered.

how does that work? can't he tailgate someone on the way out? or get the guy at the security desk to let him through? was he the last one out of the plant or something?
Health Care Is Long Overdue for a Social Justice Reckoning
That's a standard rhetorical technique you'll see in much right-wing writing. Statements are made as if they're simply correct by definition, and there is no space for argument or dissent.

Is he genuinely objective and data-driven? How many of his studies have been replicated? How many competing studies - which he fails to mention - disagree with his conclusions?

It's easy to be right when you simply assert your idea of truth. But that's rhetoric, not science. Science is peer review and open debate, and I don't see him engaging in that.

Not sure what your insurance is like, but mine is $1050/yr. An alarm system would save me $50, barely two months of service for something cheaper, barely one month on a more expensive plan.

I would NOT look at it as lowering insurance.
They deserve to be in trouble because of their own incompetence, nothing more.

Progress is happening. Note that ProPublic's reporting you link to was the genesis of the IRS' below decision to end their agreement to not compete against Turbotax. Progress, of course, should be moving faster to deprecate the need for third party tax preparation tools (as is the case in most other developed nations). Call your representative(s), tell them this policy matters to you. Each letter, email, and phone call is counted.

Part of Intuit's $80 billion market cap depends on taxes continuing to be hard to file directly with the IRS.

I find it interesting that commercial viability is "anti-goal" as opposed to a "non-goal." I can absolutely understand why practicality isn't the primary purpose, but why actively avoid it? (Unless I'm just misinterpreting the terminology.)

- nextcloud - a system with appliance-like apps that do these sorts of things

- proxmox - a vm system that allows you to deploy VMs and containers including appliance-like templates

I haven't read Taleb's response; I might, though Pikkety is less my focus, because I think he spends a lot of time arguing for the system, but continuing along the line of reducing inequality, rather than questioning the system itself.

I see capital as a problem precisely not as a matter of quantity (one person having more than another), but as a matter of quality. While 'crony capitalism' is obviously a problem, I don't think it's the root of the problem, philosophically speaking. I'd still think that a system in which a rich person can't get away with tax evasion has serious problems. This is where I likely diverge from, say, Warren's or even Sanders' platform (speaking as someone not from the US).

I think deep issues (exploitation, domination, and alienation) deserve a look, even if they seem to be an alien perspective from the outset.
Yes! We need to do less computing too. Much less. See, I said it.
Give the thread a read for the argument for how they are related (priorities, election image, etc). If you have a differing opinion, give some details.
> He fundamentally does not understand how markets work. I am a software engineer.

I can assure you that the Harvard and Yale educated professor that's written textbooks on the subject knows how markets work. He might be heterodox in his adherence to marxist economics, but he fully understands the orthodox position, almost certainly in more detail than you or I ever will.
I held on to an old 5x for what felt like forever until the 3a came around.

I've zero interest in the high end phone market, I'm sort of horrified at 6, 7, $800+ the prices, and I feel like I use fewer and fewer apps all the time.

Hopefully google with the 'a' models and Apple with the SE will stick with the mid range products.

Painful site design, at least change the background. You're not doing yourself any favors with that repeating geometric background. Having your bold text as the same color as the non geometric portion of the background doesn't help either. I hope your burned in subtitles don't make use of the same design principles of anti-contrast and signal hidden in noise.
Hi Zack! I'm a college student taking a gap year next year. I have spend the past 3 months at my internship using the AWS Serverless technologies you mentioned in your post. I was planning on continuing to work at the BigCo I interned at for the next year, but I realized that a startup environment might be a better fit for my personality. I'm super excited about the work you do at Stedi -- if you have any opportunities that would allow me to help out in my somewhat unique position I would be honored to help.

It's impossible to make rent in the city while at 50 percent capacity. The reckless and inconsiderate patrons are back already, the rest will not be going back to bars and restaurants any time soon, meaning probably two years. How many of these businesses would make it two years under normal conditions? 80% of nyc restaurants fail within 5 years. [1]

Nonetheless, I have seen two new restaurants open up in my area - both focusing on take-away with some outdoor seating. When businesses are being forced to adapt to a public health risk, I consider that a positive.

However I 100% agree with the need for better use of public outdoor space, the crippling of open/summer streets programs makes no sense.

>He then shows data that the anti discrimination legislation increased black default rates and questions whether you encouraging minorities to declare bankruptcy and enter financial ruin is really something to be desired.

Sowell talked about the CRA and was proven wrong by multiple studies, like this one, which has a section dedicated to how the CRA wasn't a problem: https://www.responsiblelending.org/mortgage-lending/research...

Stop the Sowell worship. Please, internet, for the love of god. He will always talk about how everything that democrats do is bad and everything conservatives do is good. He isn't right on everything all the time.
There's definitely a middle ground here. I have been in academic contexts where every sentence has to be absolute perfection before we submit for publication. Thats overkill, for sure, but there is merit to proofreading as a sign of legitimacy of the argument itself. Some dude literally wrote this text and didn't even re-read the post before publishing. Clearly, he's either the greatest expert at technological things that it's second nature to him even more than LANGUAGE, or he just did a shoddy job on both sides. Unless I see the name to be Linus Torvalds or something, I'm just going to assume this post is low quality in general.

As in... the WSJ publishes lies but is paywalled? That's generally not my experience; WSJ is nowhere near where it used to be, but isn't among the trash tier of journalism, yet.

The "media bias" chart from Ad Fontes media puts them at a slight right slant, with reporting accuracy more-or-less on par with publications like Newsweek, The Economist, and WaPo.[0][1]

I know someone with a Home Depot residential style mini-split mounted on the back of their cargo trailer RV conversion. Probably too much for a van, but no huge hole in the wall.
By that logic, who merits being judge of who other merits being judge? The act of asking your question, is itself a judgement, and a vote to silence others - which is, in whole, a politically violent act.
Well, why not? How can we improve general technological literacy? I don't want people to memorize the protocols, but I do want them to have the foundation of knowledge that would allow them to conclude that if the phone company can connect calls to your mobile handset, then they can also figure out roughly where it is. I'd also like for people to have the basic knowledge required to understand that GPS does not track you. It's the other way around. I'd like everyone to understand that mass and energy are conserved, the Earth orbits the Sun, etc.
Property law is just words in a book. If we called it “property protection”, then we may more easily recognize that this is more of an activity than a natural right. And that costs money. A fee if you like, but we call it a tax so that it can be used for other purposes. And so that any reasonableness may be lent to ‘income tax’, which would sound absolutely inane if it were ‘work fees’, making clear that we must rent our own productive capacity from the government.
You're blurring the line between software and hardware support, which is a very important distinction.

Ubuntu 16.04 may only have one year of support left, but my current desktop hardware supports both 16.04 and 20.04. It's much more reasonable to sunset old software to reduce maintenance burden while providing an upgrade path than to lock people out of any upgrade path for their hardware.

There is also the distinction that Apple sells closed hardware and prevents you from installing a custom OS with longer software support. And that Apple products cost $$ while Ubuntu is free, which leads to different reasonable expectations. But I don't think either of those are needed to make my point.
Depends on the socialists or communists, but historically - often, yes. Certainly more so than capitalists, who are either indifferent or actively hostile, but may pretend to be otherwise as a matter of political expediency.

What? I mean back up your data. Not your whole... computer, or whatever. Install latest software, import data from back up, back in business.
It's trivial to tell intact data from ransomed data - the latter looks like random noise, as it's encrypted.

If your backup process "isn't that simple", then you should make it that simple. Otherwise failure looms.
Either they skimp on benefits, they have a better paying niche, provide fewer services, or they work fewer employees harder per unit of work. There's no real alternative holding technology constant. In any case, if they are making a profit that's just skimming cream off the value their employees produce in excess of what they are paid, so exploitation is the right term.
Maybe in the order of $50 rough estimate, that is 2 orders of magnitude less.

Bitcoin is designed to cost the price of electricity when mining on dedicated ASIC miners.

AWS costs are covering enterprise hardware with extra services, electricity is not one tenth of that, and AWS is using general purpose CPU (maybe GPU instances) which are not one tenth as efficient as ASIC.
Just a turn of phrase. I suppose non-goal is more accurate, but as my day job is building embedded systems in Rust, sometimes it's good to strongly remind myself to keep hobby and work time separate.
More to the point, as-far-as-I-know this activity is monitored for, and using promotional credits for these purposes will invalidate your credits and you'll receive a large bill.

Source: A previous employer got a notification that our instances had been flagged as mining cryptocurrency, and they wanted to invalidate a low-six-figure amount of credits, and back-bill. Note that no cryptocurrency was actually being mined, and I don't know what heuristic they got caught in (although I have suspicions).

> What is a "fact" or what is "true" in dependent on your values (aka your ideology). This is one of Nietzsche's main contributions to philosophy.

No, it's not. That's one of the Enlightenment’s many contributions to philosophy and the foundation on which the advances in knowledge of the universe enabling the explosion of post-Enlightenment technical progress is built.

Obviously, one might have ideological, aesthetic, or other preferences for what facts ought to be, and one might have beliefs about questions of fact that ultimately result from those preferences, but—Roadrunner cartoons not withstanding—beliefs about the material universe don't trump material facts.

(However, it's kind of funny that you are making, as a positive argument in favor of conservatism, exactly the argument that conservatives usually not only reject, but also attribute—not entirely inaccurately though certainly overgenerally—to the “postmodern” left and cite as a key reason for rejecting the left.)
