I've worked on some which were not illegal but unethical. One got convicted for corruption. Some dragged out projects as close to success as possible without finishing, to charge more, or found ways to hold the client hostage. One got banned, which was probably illegal, but not jail time type of illegal. In some of these situations, there were SOPs on how to dispose of all evidence within hours.

It's frustrating because it's like keeping a family secret. There is no evidence and will never be. I often meet young people who speculate on what happened and want some bullshit like innocent until proven guilty, or statistics, or police reports. It is.. sort of like your uncle confessing to an affair. You can't give evidence that it's happening without some betrayal and nothing good will come out of it. They know how to keep it legal. All you do is hurt your own credibility. The victims will often refuse to believe you and want more proof anyway. But so far, all of them meet with karma.

My advice: don't do it. It's incredibly demotivating and while you often don't need motivation to get something done, demotivation will keep you from getting anything real done. Projects like these bleed talent and are full of unpleasant people. And the ones who play with corruption and lies are also likely to lie to you and exploit you.

And then some big low-wage country answers with tariffs based on, say, the number of people employed and paid above the poverty line, and argues that it's bad to produce goods using just a few obscenely well paid people and a lot of robots, and that this badness should be counteracted using tariffs.
I didn't know about Popper before. This rings so true today more than ever. I often joke about my home town of San Francisco that we are very open minded as long as you believe exactly the same things we believe.

Ahh I totally knew this and forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder!
Hi, thanks for the feedback. To be clear, we invested a lot of time and effort internally trying to find a path forward where we could support hosting the sites as static dumps and continue serving them. At no point was the cost in terms of compute/storage/network even a consideration.

In the end, it turned out to be extremely difficult to do as you describe. First, static sites, for us, aren't really static - there's dynamic content on a page, there's certain core components that we have to be able to serve, for example, we have to have a mechanism for people to report abusive sites, have to have a mechanism to remove those sites, and we also have to have the ability for users to request the deletion of these sites, and so on.

In the end, it was going to come with a significant amount of engineering cost to continue to deliver static sites, even with reduced fidelity and a worse user experience. We felt it was better to be clear with users that we are going to transition them to the new platform along with providing them with a backup of their content to insure nothing was lost.

I'll say that the vast majority of current classic sites are extremely old and inactive, and not receiving any traffic in the last two years (editors or visitors). In addition, more than 90% of users currently choose new sites when they are building a site, so we are giving users a long window of notice to decide how they want to handle their sites, whether active or inactive.

> Meanwhile, in many Linux DEs, especially the combination of keyboard and mouse allows for super quick window management (resizing and moving while holding a modifier like Alt, which AFAIK is impossible natively under Windows or MacOS).

But then you enter into a dangerous deflationary cycle.
The touch bar is an interesting concept, but I hardly use it as a new Mac user (got a MacBook pro for the first time ever this year), as cool as I thought it was at first.

I wish it had a few features to improve the experience:

- ability to lock an app. It would be nice to have zoom controls available like unmute when I don't have zoom window active

- hard buttons, with led screens. This would make things like debugging easier where I need to hit the "step over" button repeatedly

- easier customization without paid apps or scripting. I can only change a few defaults around

I’ve only ever invoked it against neo-neo-Nazis and conspiracy theorists demanding to be taken seriously.

Would you call that dishonest?
Yeah, that's clearly not what was meant with the authors writing. One concrete example would be "should you allow a political party who promises to get rid of democracy and replace it with a dictatorship if they win?" which if you take democracy to its extreme, you should allow, but if you allow it, democracy might disappear, so you should not be accepting it.
Do you have a website or other contact method? I'd love to come visit this fall (assuming you are open).

I had to lookup 'aurality', but how does that relate to the Touch Bar? Just want to understand.
No, the policy that lead to the decay of the American middle class is not China's rules on foreign investment.

The policy that lead to that is American companies embracing globalism, which is, by the way, an American neo-liberal ideology.
Unless an app overloads the shortcut (looking at you Slack...) that seems to work by default for me: c-b and c-f behave as expected.

M-b and M-f work sometimes too, but these two get intercepted for ∫ and ƒ respectively in Slack, Firefox, etc.
I doubt the Touch bar will stay the same. It runs on a separate arm soc and it would seem terribly wastefull to keep all of that after the arm transition.

So they'd have to put significant effort into it (to change the architecture to make it run on the new chip together with the system). I think they would do some major changes to it in this case.

Or they can phase it out and say it paved the way for the new arm macs and that it is no longer needed (and keep the face, not admitting that it was a failure). Especially so if the 1st Apple silicon Macbook gen is already touch based.

I hope they get rid of the Touch Bar during the transition. There were no WWDC sessions about it either.

It's more general than that. Fine particulate matter (like smoke/soot) tends to get in everywhere and with all the complex molecules in living organisms it's pretty much guaranteed that it will react with something and in large enough quantity that tends to cause disease.

>while shoving more mid-roll ads into non-subscribers' streams (these days there are sometimes ten ad breaks in a twenty-minute video, think about it)

Except that's not Google's doing. YouTube does have an auto-placement option for mid-roll ads, but if you see more than 5 ad breaks, that's usually the uploader's own manual placement. In fact, if the ad placement seems natural, that's probably the uploader's own doing as well, as the auto-placement function is very inconsistent in recognizing good spots to insert ads.
I understand in some respects, but for me I just read the headline and go "Oh, that's interesting!" and then read it or watch the video. If I do not like the headline then I do not read the article.

I see where you are coming from. From my perspective, your view of poor people as being without agency such that their voluntary decisions in perhaps the most well-off country on earth, in the most well-off time in earth's history, the idea that said trade constitute "exploitation" is very telling of your internal beliefs about the poor. Perhaps you think they are too dumb to make informed choices. Perhaps you think there are droves of poor with no skills, no useful utility to provide to society, other than to sell their blood. I think this belief is ignorant at best (you ever been poor? I have) and morally abhorrent and classist at worst.

But hey, maybe I'm just autistic.
Say we want to manufacturer some item, say cellphones, in the US. Start out with a small tariff on imported phones of 5%, then announce a schedule of slowly raising tariffs until phones manufactured in the US are cheaper than imported phones. Add a definition of manufactured in the US that includes something about the percentage of parts that must be manufactured here to prevent companies form only assembling them here.

For phones if there was a profit motive, I think it would take somewhere around 5 years. Repeat for any item for which we want to ensure a domestic manufacturing base.

These companies are after profit, so they chose to go to China to earn that profit. And for that profit, at some point in time, they must have deemed acceptable to give up something in exchange. Isn't this what trading is all about? Now somebody regrets they shouldn't have made certain choice, so they blame it on the other government? Be an adult.

"Command" + "~" will switch between windows of the app currently in focus.

Not the same behavior as Alt-Tab, but together with Command+Tab it works well.

If you hold Command down after doing Command+Tab, you can also use "~" and "Tab" to select the app to the left or right in the list of recent apps.
Germans are actually happy that Trump wants to remove US troops.
Yes, because the dishonest part is the how often those labels are thrown around with no real basis.
macOS creates a distinction between windows and apps that Windows doesn't. Note that it isn't actually doing nothing when you command-tab to that app — it is selecting it. You can see the menu bar change. It's just not bringing the app's window to the forefront, because the window is in a different "space". If you create a second Desktop and put your app's window there, the same thing will happen.

It's not really gatekeeping.

Thank you! I'm really grateful that you helped me to understand better.

Let me just play this back to you to make sure that I understand the thrust of your position. The reference points you have from living in different countries are really fascinating and broadly tally with my own experience, but if I try to zero in on the broad point:

Housing is something approaching a human right. The needs of tenants should be paramount, and where their interests are placed at odds with those of their landlords, regulation should protect tenants' interests. Renting is not usury in and of itself, but society's first priority is to ensure everyone has a roof over their heads.

Is that fair?

I could argue that having dedicated keys for navigation when you spend all your time in the IDE is a feature, not a problem.

We can split hairs about 'defunding' vs 'abolishing', but I just get the distinct impression that many people have got no real idea about the threat that crime poses to the prosperity of a community (or city or state), and the effort that is required to keep it in check. The occasional misbehaviour of police officers is a small price to pay compared to the oppression and privation wrought by widespread crime.

> the future will be one of only Chinese international corporations

A world ruled by corporations headquartered in a single country, with other countries having their politics and economy determined by the interests a single nation has been the rest of the worlds situation for 50+ years. It's somewhat ironic to see Americans suddenly getting concerned about this.

> Would WeChat or TikTok even exist if the Chinese market were open to existing western chat and social media software?? Unlikely.

The argument that if the Chinese market was fully open then their local companies would have been more quickly devoured by single, US based corporations doesn't do much to convince me that what the Chinese government is doing is wrong.

And don't fool yourself, this had nothing to do with what's 'fair' for America or Americans, all of this is so strong arm Chinese companies into surrendering to corporations that happen to be based in the US on favorable terms. This is the US government working as the goons to enforce Facebook, Google and in this case specifically Microsofts global dominance.

What Irony Is Not
The article explains that the primary benefit of user-mode green-thread fibers is not switching speed, but that they are much cheaper than OS threads, so you can have many more of them. The costs are paid in memory usage and also the operating system also has to do considerable bookkeeping for threads.

However, Netty has offered strong support for callback style IO under the JVM for a long time. This effectively allows the same efficiencies. Of course it is also possible to do without Netty. Therefore the real advantage of Loom user-mode threads and co-routines is syntactical programming convenience. That's the real innovation in Loom!

>Can you show me such a video of Uyghurs in China.
>I will answer it for you: no you can't.

All your doing is proving that China has no freedom of speech. The reason The reason I cant show you such a video is because of Chinese censorship. Such a video would never be allowed to circulate. The fact that a video of George Floyde being murdered can be shared in the US proves that in US we tolerate speech even when it shows the US in bad light. Also the cops who did this to Floyde are being prosecuted.

Even something as simple as a picture of Winnie the Pooh is banned in China because people compared Pooh, a children's cartoon to China's leader. Imagine the leader of a country having his feelings hurt by a child's cartoon so bad that he bans the cartoon.
