China and Russia are building and deploying disruptive space technologies, thus we must do the same, lest we cede the high ground to our enemies. I wish that wasn't the case, but as long as there exist major powers that challenge the United States and our allies the all-domain arms race will never end.

The US Space Force just released its capstone warfighting doctrine: https://www.spaceforce.mil/Portals/1/Space%20Capstone%20Publ...

> Not only are space operations global, they are also multi-domain. A successful attack against any one segment (or combination of segments), whether terrestrial, link, or space, of the space architecture ca neutralize a space capability; therefore, space domain access, maneuver, and exploitation require deliberate and synchronized defensive operations across all three segments.

helpful for product managers. did you think about adding fundamental attribution error?
> Yet changing this at a fundamental level is somehow considered radical, nothing we can do etc., except what every other western country has already done.

Except in the US wants to do what "every other western country has already done," which is to use payroll taxes on the middle class to subsidize mandatory health insurance or pay for a state-run system. Nobody in the US is actually serious about universal healthcare, except the folks who want to fix the ACA. Even Sanders promises not to raise taxes on people making below $250,000. If that's the promise, then all the other stuff is just talk, because the revenue can't be there to pay for any of it.

Warren actually got close to a plan for accomplishing universal healthcare without raising middle class taxes, and it only proves what a complete farce that is. It features:

- A wealth tax that goes up to 6%, four times higher than the 1.5% wealth taxes that Sweden and France abandoned (and most OECD countries never had)

- Corporate taxes around 35-39%, higher than Sweden, France, Germany, Denmark, etc.

- Capital gains taxed at the income rate, with a 70% top rate

Each of those policies individually would be outside the mainstream of the OECD. But under Warren's plan, you'd need all of these in combination just to raise half the money needed for Medicare for All.

So Sweden has corporate taxes around 22%, capital gains taxed at a flat 30%, and a top income tax rate of about 52% depending on municipality. It abandoned its wealth tax recently. Under Warren, the United States would have corporate taxes at 35% + the state rate (total 44% in California), a wealth tax going up to 6%, and a top marginal tax rate on capital gains of 70%.

Obviously we'd never do that, which shows you how it was never a serious proposal.
When I was researching this product area, I found a bunch of similar tools that summarized on the inbound side. I thought it would be more interesting to experiment on the outbound side as the main initial focus, which I haven't seen.

I do have a generic popup that you can to summarize any passage, so you could copy-paste some long passage (email, article) to piggy back on the functionality. But it isn't tightly integrated into the Gmail UI as of now.
This is mind blowing to me if this is true. I didn’t take many business classes so I wasn’t exposed to this definition. I do run a startup and as others have eluded about startup tech CEOs I’m pretty bad at marketing. But saying that, I still can’t wrap my head around how a marketing person can identify a market or create a product for that market. I basically created the company cause I saw a need. It’s my job as CEO to make sure our company is laser focused on solving that need. Solving this need is basically our overall focus but I understand you are probably talking about marketing creating new markets within that scope. Our process of identifying and creating a product and market is all about meeting with potential customers and trying to solve their needs which is a combination of sales engineers and sales and tech leads being consultants and figuring out how our technology can solve their problem. I don’t see where marketing fits into this such that they could go out and create a new market and new product for us..i always thought marketing’s job was to help us better reach those markets, but I had no idea they could identify new markets and create products for those markets. Maybe we see are using different terminology.
Well, the US is since WWII meddling with elections in other countries. And not only that but actively toppling foreign governments. The few millions some Russians may have spent on ads are a drop in the sea compared to the billions and billions that PACs and SuperPACs have spent.
But the children might learn to make naughty chemicals, can't let that happen.

In all seriousness, nearly every major chemistry youtuber that I have seen has had several videos struck for seemingly pointless issues. There are many many videos showing poor technique and potentially extremely dangerous synthesis - those remain up. I don't understand the criteria behind it in this domain.
I see your point with opaque pointers though. They are great for code obfuscation when shipping libraries, and totally do require a header / source file split making unity builds not an option.

It always amazes me how C can reach the height of most modern languages with a bit of (serious) effort.
Those are all valid C.
sha256sum generates a sum, you still need to store that sum somewhere that isn't controlled by the malware creator or they can just change the sum too.

All major Linux distros for example still have no viable way of creating signed programs or anything like Gatekeeper.
Does anybody have any ideas as to what opportunities might open up for lightweight start ups from the general trend of decreasing launch costs? I mean aside from the obvious ones such as starting a launch company or anything that requires a ton of investment.

I understand that lower costs of launching satelites massively changes the economics but I can't figure out how it might affect auxiliary industries/businesses. Satellites seem to be more related to communications which tends to come under utilities and is managed by government entities
I think some kind of SF congestion tax, with proceeds to benefit public transit infrastructure, would be appropriate.
Three Steps of a Strangler Pattern
Spitballing here:

Option 1: Deny any attempts to "clock in" whenever the number of drivers waiting in a region exceeds a certain density.

Option 2: Your shift starts when you pick up a passenger, and ends when you drop them off. (I have no idea whether this actually meets the state's requirements. I do suspect that there exists an equally clever solution that will work.)

Uber and friends built their entire businesses in working around existing laws. I'm sure they can figure out how to navigate the new laws.

> Are advertisers leaving reddit?

I can't speak to if they are leaving Reddit, but they are absolutely leaving other social media platforms such as Facebook as well as traditional media platforms for exactly this reason.

> Are people leaving reddit to a "nicer" platform?

I don't have this data at scale. Anecdata I have suggests that most people I know have been turned off by the sheer level of vitrol which appears on Reddit these days.

> What type of legal liabilities is reddit being subject to?

Regulatory risk in the form of being made responsible for user submitted content which they really don't want to be. If even a subset of hateful users go on to commit violence in the real world and it turns out that they fermented their ideology on Reddit and Reddit did nothing, it could renew calls by lawmakers to make site operators responsible for user submitted content. Such a regulatory change could potentially take down the entire business.

There is also a smaller, related business continuity risk from Reddit's providers. Look at what happened to 8chan. In response to 8chan not regulating hate speech, CloudFlare terminated their service and no US provider would touch them with a 10 foot pole. it took them 3 months and a total rebrand to get back up. While Reddit is a much larger entity, they are not immune to this risk.

Booting these users gives them plausible deniability at little cost and also allows them to make a stronger case to lawmakers if questioned.
No it doesn't. Apple ID is not involved in this at all. This is much ado about nothing.
I think the previous poster may be referring to use of emergency services by people without health insurance. Which is an indirect tax to voters anyways
I think there is still a way to go here.

For example, the "really" in "really appreciate" isn't useful.

Also the last sentence in the "summarized" version reads: "If for any reason you haven't let, let me know..." I would also that that the "for any reason" is not useful, it is again implied.

You don't need "by now", it is implied.

Lets pretend that consoles are loss leaders (I don't believe they are).

The current system is structured to be as profitable as possible for Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo and to keep competitors out. These companies aren't good guys looking out for me and you, they are looking out for the interests of their shareholders.

If the $50k price for updates is true, that's awful. It sets up a lot of bad incentives for developers. Consumers deserve much better than that.
I disagree somewhat - well, I think simply backing up content is insufficient but if you diversify your platform now and manage to snag a significant number of viewers then you should be good. Shared platforms like DLive (a la pewdiepie fame and others) or watchnebula.com is one way to do this and can be very strong for topically related subjects - independent platforms like Dropout.tv are also an option but you're either hoping to win the bandwidth vs. advertiser cost balance or going to need to charge for access - both of which can lower your subscriber rate.

I think it's hard to make a fully independent platform so I think topical ones are a better option - but YouTube is really in a position of power due to the network effect. As long as they don't shoot themselves in the foot with controversy and banning then they should be able to easily hold onto their position - everything challenging them has an uphill battle.
I don't read the parent as advocating the opinion that the people subjected to the "less dark" form shouldn't consider it a kind of hate speech or shouldn't feel offended by it. The context is moderation, and why it makes sense to treat the cases differently - that doesn't mean simply always allowing one and always disallowing the other. The point is that prudent and pragmatic judgement is necessary.
The agile manifesto is so terse and carefully written -- every word is there for a reason -- and so many people ignore the words they find inconvenient.

"Responding to change over following a plan" specifically says "over", not "instead of!"

They even say it twice, to avoid misunderstanding: "That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more." In a document that's only a few sentences long, to repeat a meaning is a little like shouting.

Don't value your plan more than your ability to respond to change. But do still have a plan! How will you know if you're responding to change without one?
Presumably other companies would run app stores and do things like refunds. After all there are already apps where you can buy stuff on your phone not through the app store (Audible, AirBnb, Amazon, etc). Why are apps any different?

The Computer Game That Led to Enlightenment
Is it immoral to care more about your close family (spouse, children, parents) than about strangers? Is it immoral if you care more also about your cousins, grandparents or uncles/aunts? Or does it become immoral when you care more about even more distant parts your family? Or when you care more about your neighbours? Or your compatriots? Where do you draw a line?

Caring more about people who are closer is biological instinct. But if you want to call biology immoral...
Most of the current sanctions against Russia were a direct response to Russia's paramilitary invasion of a peaceful neighbor and theft of a large portion of their country.

If Saudi Arabia were to commit a comparable offense, I assure you they'd face a comparable response, or worse (remember what happened to Saddam Hussein).
This is the price we paid for killing brick and mortar stores.
Only in part though, many tech workers are getting paid in the top 10% of wages in a given area, not "toward the minimum wage necessary to sustain the life of the worker". I think highly specialized/niche workers are a clear exception to this "law".
Since there's no reason to do that only on arm and not on intel macs you would still be able to launch it after jumping over some hurdles.

Just that now the linker automatically signs every binary. So that something like gatekeeper could disable it based on the signature.

That would be my non-"apple is draconian" interpretation, as I don't have an arm mac.

That's interesting since Craigslist has operated a rideshare marketplace for 20+ years and runs at an 80% profit margin. They've also never ran afoul of contractor vs. employee scrutiny.

> From the article, it seems like things have gradually become more & more restrictive though. My interpretation is that Apple is gradually shifting macOS to the same application distribution model as iOS: Complete walled garden, attempts to bypass are against ToS, actively closed off with every update, and warranty-breaking.

Nothing has really changed in this article though. You can still run software just as before.

I'm not sure where you live, but my experience has been the complete opposite. When I was a poor working kid nearly every other poor kid I knew in high school started working at 16. Some of my friends from wealthy families did as well, but not nearly as many and usually only during the summer and not during the school year. Most did not have their first job (not including internships) until after college.
Definitely resonates with me. I had relatively non-mild covid symptoms in March / April but never went to the hospital.

I've pretty much experienced what lots of other people have related over the past 4-5 months--different symptoms popping up and going away every day, all falling into the kind of umbrella of post-viral symptoms.

I've definitely noticed a pretty big improvement the last few weeks but I still get hit out of the blue with fatigue, brain fog, and occasionally a heavy chest. I would be more concerned but I went through a very similar experience with mono a few years ago, and hoping things will continue to slowly lift with time and as u/notahacker mentioned rest, low intensity exercise, and healthy food.
+1 on that roller-coaster ride too
Does NaN have an "order" in the set of reals or integers or whatever? I would have no idea what to expect from `min(NaN, x)` or max same. But is it specified by an IEEE standard or something?
Yeah, I was a bit optimistic or even idealistic in thinking that Uber&Lyft are then treating their employees like independent contractors simply because they did before. I just want to stress that no one is really preventing them from doing so. It's "just" expensive and would need them to trust their employees to an extent.
So you would stay loyal to the product no matter what it evolves into? I imagine there's some kind of limit to what you would put up with. Or is your point that these restrictions don't bother you at all? That's fine of course but I'm sure not everyone feels the same way.

As someone who never bought any Apple products, I find it harder and harder to see why I would buy one. I have friends who are quite invested Apple owners who say they will most likely not buy Apple again because of the way the product has changed for the worse (in their eyes).
>First off, the article's biggest point, the security sandbox, is not the issue at all with the App Store. The entire internet runs inside of a sandbox.

The web has become one horrible user experience. When left alone, developers apparently don't play nice, they hog bandwidth and user resources left and right. A few tabs on a web browser easily saturates the machine resources these days, be it internet bandwidth, RAM or CPU.

Ads, user tracking or poor developer skills, the cause doesn't matter. Apart for HN and few more, the web is a horrible place for the user and the techie ones are taking active measures to fight it(tab killers, ad blockers, script blockers and so on).
I'm not sure why the author isn't putting his preferred implementation into a clamp function then forgetting about it?
Can you provide recent examples?

On their front page right now:

- A post about finishing shampoo and conditioner at the same time

- Celebration of a black female CEO

- Discussion of abortion

- Discussion of Women's only gyms (pros/cons/benefits/etc)

- Discussion about marketing vis-a-vis unhealthy body image

- Inappropriate boss in a meeting

None of those posts are even about men, let alone "hate speech against half the species?" So the emphasis is definitely on you to show that this is a popular usage of the sub.

Subs don't get removed for a scattering of hateful comments, the moderators are expected to deal with those. Subs get banned because their popular purpose is against Reddit's rules or their moderators are unable/unwilling to enforce the rules.
SCOTUS came to a different conclusion in Gregory v Helvering.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gregory_v._Helvering

Government doesn't exist to collect taxes. They are there to provide governance. Taxes are a necessary evil that should be kept to a minimum to provide the service of governance.

If someone can come up with a legal operational structure that gets around taxes then that the government didn't do its job.

It's only easy to get around taxes when the taxes aren't closely tied to the service the government is providing. i.e. when you taxing one individual or business for a service provided to other individuals or businesses.
Neat idea, I could definitely be more terse in my comms.

Are you implying that Lyft is going to give every driver a salary, or are you intentionally being obtuse? This is like saying "you should be able to make dinner for a restaurant, as you already have a kitchen"
The official story would always be vague. This is spook territory not regular police. A Scotland Yard team went to interview Litvinenko's assassins (One of whom was being treated for radiation poisoning - fancy that!), and they were completely outgunned by the FSB.

Also, as to CCTV, it is extremely prevalent in London but not as omniscient in places like Salisbury.

Security services sit on information like this for years, possibly never to reach daylight i.e. it's at best 50/50 whether MI5's director(Hollis) in the 50s and 60s was a double agent for the GRU, but we will never know what is in the archives. It is undeniable, however, that the Russian's did it - a Russian nerve agent just happens to turn up in the middle of Salisbury!?
Right - it does. My point was that Quic still has 2 layers which determine the amount of data that is sent to peers. On the lower level, there is a congestion controller - which can be like Cubic, New Reno, BBR, etc. This part does not know anything about Quic streams yet.

On a higher level you have the Quic streams, which carry user data. These are subject to flow control windows, and there also exists a shared per-connection window.

Depending on the implementation the layers might not be very much aware of each other, which can also lead to imperfect utilization.
That said the situation is obviously still different than with TCP, since the congestion controller does not limit the amount of user data but packets in general (which includes retransmits, etc). So the outcomes will certainly be different than what we observe with HTTP/2.
Looking at this video and how hard it is to aim for a skyscraper, you'd think the chances of Amateur pilots hitting the Twin Towers so precisely - twice - would be close to zero!

Here's a post breaking down a few details of the ban wave:

https://www.reddit.com/r/redditsecurity/comments/idclo1/unde...

As you can see a big majority, over three quarters, of banned subreddits had less than ten users, and 99% had less than 5000 subscribers.

It's very possible that the other 82% are distributed over the larger, more popular subreddits which are not encouraging hate speech. As an example, if someone posted antisemitic content on r/dataisbeautiful, that might be counted towards those 82% but that is not a reason to ban the whole subreddit.
>”the current fad of 'Europeans are all racists and didn't appreciate a Black civilization', which is of course wrong."

The leaders of European nations fed and feed their populations large amount of misinformation about who they are and who people outside their borders were. If a monarch was made in the image of and chosen by god, how could the greatest structures in human history not be in Europe? The solution was to whitewash as much as possible.

You see this in the restoration of art for the last few centuries, many brown/black pieces turned white all of sudden. Some claim this was unintentional, but if we look at how Africans have been treated for the past 500± years, that claim seems suspicious and sounds more like ass-covering when the fraud was revealed.

I expect this exposing of fraud to ramp up as automated translation allows us to compare notes between the great civilizations of human history in the near future.
