The narcissistic personality was first described by the psychoanalyst Robert Waelder, in 1925; furthermore, the term narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) was coined by Heinz Kohut in 1968.

Yes, this is why I always list specs to other humans as "USB 3.x 5/10/20/whatever gbit", just to sidestep this issue and make it obvious.

USB did it semi-stupidly by allowing 5gbit USB PHYs (which is really enough for anyone, tbf) to implement the protocol enhancements offered by newer versions of 3.x (since those are almost entirely software/firmware features).

Gmail has a "basic view" that works without JavaScript, just good old fashioned HTML forms and hyperlinks and server-side state.

None of that supports the claim that Microsoft bought skype as a favor to the US government. It’s mostly a bunch of silly conjecture. Removal of supernodes does make it easier to intercept, sure, but that doesn’t mean it was the motivation for that change, and it definitely doesn’t mean it was tied to requests by a government.

Now that they have the capability, they would have to comply with court orders, like every other communications company based in the US.

> There are also rules that forbid trading with the goal of deliberately affecting the settlement [price]

> Vega’s jackpot involved about a dozen traders aggressively selling oil in unison before the May West Texas Intermediate contract settled at 2:30 p.m.

I think it's safe to say the traders deliberately affected the settlement price. Granted they took on a lot of risk, it was still deliberate. Now the question is can that be proven, and was it deliberate enough?
That is sometimes true, However, in many cases I find the Linux-based software is better, actually, and in many other cases, they are just as good. In some cases, it is the DOS-based software which is better. Also, some programmers who write for Windows will also ensure and advertise working on Linux too, so you can still use it even if you are on Linux, if you install Wine. (In some cases, no existing software seems suitable to me, so I write my own.) Sometimes the software is available for multiple operating systems, such as SQLite, which at least I find it better than what I have used before on Windows. I find TeX for typesetting much better than using Microsoft Word, too. And, there are more things too.

Some DBs have inherent limitations and you need to design something to get around them. Sometimes you have many apps and you don't want to reinvent the wheel to support what are otherwise standard accesses of a database. Sometimes it's a "special" database which makes this more convoluted, or perhaps you need to implement things like a gradual back-off retry to prevent swamping the backend. Sometimes you don't want to have to patch every app that uses the database if a database change is breaking. Sometimes you want to prevent developers from abusing your database, provide more fine-grained access control, prevent poorly researched queries which can kill performance, etc. Sometimes you're talking to more than one db.

Personally, I would start writing the abstraction as soon as I plan to have more than two apps.

Funny. I'm using a thinkpad T60 from over 10 years ago, clocked down to 1000 Mhz, because why not, and running a modified version of the links browser that I've hacked together with guile for expandability and every web page takes less than a second to load and render. Truly flying around the web. For many tasks I can run circles around your setup.

When I visit a web page, I load 1 file. 1 file. Show the page and then start loading the images, if any.

You can gain much by not loading any javascript, not caring a bit about css and having a very fast HTML parser and renderer.

I recently read the screenplay to 2001.

An interesting thing mentioned in the script, but not shown in the film, is that all of the images of beautiful space ships in the early sequence of the film are in fact space-based nuclear missile launchers, and that there are 27 nuclear nations with space weapons.

yes, it's more about the technical aspects.

Around here, when someone is kidnapped, it's usually because a person from the victim entourage leaked some financial information. The kidnappers would just remove the phones from the victim and drive the victim around in a car for hours. After it the victim is moved into a safe house.

It's a pretty low tech business (from what I've heard from surviving victims or the family members of those that did not survive), no one will bother with investigating the online aspects of victim's life.

> However, it seems to be an unnatural state of affairs,

I'm not overly concerned with what is natural. Many good things are not natural. Why not let the market figure it out? Because the market is known to be inefficient for the production of non-rival, non-excludable goods. Traditional macro econ theory suggests that without protection these goods will be produced less than they ought. There are other solutions to the problem besides government intervention, but the ones I'm aware of require very high levels of consumer coordination.

> Which is worse publicity:

I think it's not so clear. If someone tells me "I can't authenticate, and so I'm locked out of my account", that sounds like his fault. If someone tells me "I can't authenticate, and they'll let me into my account, but only if I pay them money", then that sounds like their fault. I do carefully say sounds—I recognise the underlying tech is the same in both cases; but the nature of publicity is to attach much more about appearance than to technical facts.
I've been thinking of the same. I spend a lot of my time in forums and would like to be able to discriminate users based on certain parameters.

I envision it as some sort of extension that analyzes the users on the current discussion thread, visits their profiles, analyzes it (post history, stats, etc) and decorates the users handle on my current page.

You've given me the tech-exceptionalist party line circa 1999. I could've given you the same, way back then. Lessig. Drahos. Braithwaite. With more nuance, Boyle. Have you done any reading from the other side? I hadn't.

Valuable information that's easy to reproduce isn't a new phenomenon. See Who Owns the News?. Nor is it peculiar to digitally reproducible works today. See Rothman's The Right of Publicity. Both highly skeptical of many legal developments, but not doctrinaire or absolutist.

Digital technology didn't take the economic theory of property by surprise. See Information Rules, or even Landes and Posner's The Economic Structure of Intellectual Property Law. The latter goes light on software and the Internet, but covers all the same dimensions of marginal cost, prior work, and so on, in analysis of other domains. Cost savings with digital technology didn't break the theories or policy justifications. They just made analysis of certain combinations more valuable.

> Why shouldn't it be Electron?

Because every Electron app is inconsistent with the rest of the desktop. I use a dark theme system-wide but Electron won't care [edit: 1Password has custom integration for GTK theme]. Honestly, this isn't something the developer of the app have to put years of research in (Slack for example). The toolkit is supposed to do the integration (GTK, Qt, [Cocoa?]) and clearly Electron doesn't care.

> Why not QT?

You tell me (assuming you're talking about Qt, not QuickTime)

> Electron doesn't seem like a worse choice than the other options

Not really. Its just that its lazier/cheaper to just get your web development team pretend to write a desktop app. I get it, business decisions need to factor cost into account and hence the choice. I understand when a business says "we just don't have the funds to use a proper app framework, please do with what we have for now". But instead everyone goes to pretend like Electron apps are perfect even though the reason it was chosen was almost completely based on cost.

The literal definition of "opportunity cost" of something is what that thing costs you in terms of opportunity, i.e. what you could have done otherwise.

If you have millions of dollars in the bank, then you can do a LOT more stuff than some poor schmuck. The opportunity cost of having that freedom taken away, therefore, is a lot higher.

The old world was having a complex web stack that included strange templating languages hacked onto languages that were sometimes invented before HTML was even a thing (see: Python) that spat out a mix of HTML and JavaScript.

Then there was the fact that state lived on both the client and the server and could (would...) easily get out of sync leading to a crappy user experience, or even lost data.

Oh and web apps of the era were slow. Like, dog slow. However bloated and crappy the reddit app is, the old Slashdot site was slower, even on broadband.

> They add a ton of tech debt and degrade the UX.

They remove a huge portion of the tech stack, no longer do you have a backend managing data, a back end generating HTML+JS, and a front end that is JS.

Does no one remember that JQuery was used IN ADDITION TO server side rendering?

And for what its worth, modern frameworks like React are not that large. A fully featured complex SPA with fancy effects, animations, and live DB connections with real time state updates can weigh in at under a megabyte.

Time to first paint is another concern, but that is a much more complicated issue.

If people want to complain about anything I'd say complain about ads. The SINGLE 500KB bundle being streamed down from the main page isn't taking 5 seconds to load. (And good sites will split the bundle up into parts and prioritize delivering the code that is needed for initial first use, so however long 100KB takes to transfer nowadays),
You should do some reading about it. I don't mean that like "go educate yourself", more like you might be surprised how fascinating is. I thought for as long as I can remember that it was a term excusing people being awful. Labels for everything. After reading some books about it I was left feeling... A lot of things.

It's a little unnerving, extremely nuanced, complicated, and fascinating. I've come to see it more as a description for a mode of being that's actually very important to understand to some extent and to figure into how you understand the world. A label like NPD does it no justice, like any other label for the way a human might behave. I highly recommend giving the idea a chance and thinking about how it might fit into your life.

I think it's important not to sensationalize it. In fact, it's probably far more typical and mundane in most instances. I've come to believe it's widespread but generally only acknowledged or recognized in extreme cases. A typical case of the topology only revealing the mountains from among the rolling hills.

For me, the eGPU setup is not worth the benefits. I am also waiting for Apple Silicon to streamline my setup.

I have a MacMini + eGPU. Every time I (re)boot the machine I have to remember to remove the remove the eGPU: Otherwise I cannot enter the filevault password. This is super annoying since the machine seems to have crashed every time I want to use it (even without an eGPU).

Previously I used the eGPU with an 13” MPB and the experience was annoying in different ways: Simply unplugging the eGPU kills the programs using it. Every time I wanted to “undock” the MBP I had to remember to click to remove the eGPU from the MBP: otherwise half the programs running are killed/not responsive.

> Maintaining a static list of the most common incompressible types within Dropbox and doing constant time checks against it in order to decide if we want to compress blocks

There is also a format-agnostic and adaptable heuristic to stop compression if the initial part (say, first 1MB) of the file seems incompressible. I'm not sure whether this is widespread, but I've seen at least one software doing that and it worked well. This can be combined with other kinds of heuristics like entropy estimation.
