A distinction needs to be made between the Zeitgeist of a time and the Genius Loci of a place. Is it part of the Genius Loci of the Bay Area to be Bohemian? I get the air for sourdough, and terroir for wine, but culture? It’s a deep question, and requires a comparison with other US cities.

Zeitgeist-wise, I’d note that San Francisco is an infant from a world culture standpoint, reaching all the way back to the...1950s? Maybe include Carmel to go all the way back to the early 1900s. All the rest of the world yawns. And the Spanish colonial and indigenous cultures are at best window dressing on the SF vibes...another costume to wear. Most other cultures would probably think that SF doesn’t have enough Zeit to be able to support much of a Geist.

But I agree personally that the attempt to intentionally physically and socially recreate an imagined past is a recipe for disaster. That past can be a powerful inspiration for future exploits since, although the physical elements of past visions are gone, the essential visions underlying the imagined past remain today in some real, if not physical sense, to be revisited, refined and perhaps manifest, or perhaps rejected.

Now I will take my staff and robe and be on my way...
Ruby has this figured out well by comparison. Install the bundler gem (which you're going to be installing anyway to get dependencies), cd into the project, and prefix your commands with `bundle exec` to use project gems

News Corp is losing money across almost all of its Australian properties. The government keeps finding ways to prop them up under the guise of subsidies for local sports coverage because News Corp provides them with such favourable coverage. It’s blatant corruption.

As an American having lived in a 380 sq ft. studio in Hamburg, I can say the build quality of concrete walls was lovely. It was the quietest place I've ever lived, 7 stories a block from two parks.

I lived on a two lane street, and no one had air conditioners. You don't know how loud air conditioners and furnaces are until you live in a place without them.

I walked to work, and lived within 1/2 mile of 8 grocery stores. When I went to German class Downtown, I walked 15 minutes to a train. I could get to the airport in 25 minutes via one bus and one S-Bahn leg.

Here in the States, I also don't have a car, but I'm surrounded by highways separating me from a park, and my apartment is much much louder because Boise, the city, doesn't control the roads within it. The state does. Thoroughput is all that matters.

I still live 0.5 mile from multiple grocery stores, but I don't have transit here. Getting to the airport from Downtown is a 40 minute bus ride (with a 15-20 minute schedule variance) for 2.5 miles. The state won't allow the city local taxing power to improve transit, and so the city limps along, unable to expand transit that matches the limited space to expand lanes.
That's fun. The same effect would amp up the inner ninja in those who decide to not wear masks.
Google will likely do the same, as they did in some European countries.
And there is no way to track down the node server that popped up this malicious message? Take it offline?
This seems to miss the point because normally platforms also have to pay for content. Facebook is a platform that hosts user/business produced content. No content, no reason to go to facebook. Likewise, Facebook brings attention to content owners. All of this is 'free' nominally.

That's not the question, the question is who has more market power and squeezes who.
It doesn’t control either government, but they have the kind of symbiotic relationship that makes favours indistinguishable from control.
Good to see this move from Facebook, not because Facebook is without issues, but because the proposed scheme is truly awful.

Google seemed a little hung out to dry going in hard with the messaging across its products with no announcements from Facebook.

Hopefully with Facebook's rather aggressive messaging Labor and crossbenchers will pay closer notice to the nuances of this issue.

Very good book, but I would love a version working with modern tooling and software products. I remember going through these maybe 5-7 years ago and thinking at the time that they were using some really old paradigms and software. Would love to see some covering software with modern languages as well, like Rust.
Regardless of politics, media and big tech dynamics, anyone who thinks that sharing links can or should be charged for just doesn't understand the fundamental nature of the internet.
They would have to sit back, tell their client to plead the 5th, and let the prosecutor do their job of proving a crime was committed by the suspect beyond reasonable doubt.

I watched the OJ Simpson trial when I was a kid. I was sure he was guilty. I think his lawyers thought so as well. Once they realized the LAPD had tampered with the crime scene and the evidence they used that wedge to open the door for reasonable doubt. And they absolutely hammered at it for months. By the end the jury was full of doubt.

Most public defenders don't have the resources for that kind of defense. And most assume their client is guilty. Which is why plea bargains are prevalent.

Demographics alone probably explain this well enough in the US. Tech workers skew heavily young and skew heavily college educated. If you sample any population with those demographics - in this political environment - you're going to get some pretty anti-trump sentiments. Although maybe not necessarily "leftist"

Personally, I think Twitter (or any social media) gives the impression that this group is more radical than they probably are as a whole.
Metro populations are very different than center city populations. In the US, the center city is often crippled financially and politically by burbs around them that don't pay to use infrastructure. Most large cities (Houston being a notable exception) are unable to annex surrounding municipalities.

Yet the question everyone asks: Where do I store my money? I know many many e-commerce and manufacturing executives who took PPL aid and are now absolutely flush with cash. Where is a safe place for the top 5% to park their cash? That's to say nothing for government purchasing of corporate stocks and bonds.
The job of a defense attorney is to force the government to prove its case even if the defendant is guilty.

"Guilty" people deserve defense. Especially since, as we have seen, neither the police nor the prosecutors are above lying and fabrication.

2 Points: Underscoring that facebook is not now, nor was it ever a good source of news is a very good thing. Don't get your news from facebook. Don't get it via facebook. Anything on facebook that isn't actually personal is tainted and horrible to be treated with extreme suspicion. Facebook have earned that reputation and deserve it.

People going elsewhere on the internet than facebook to get news will reduce facebook engagment, use and get people in the habit of not going to facebook first.

Bring it on. Facebook are horrific. The less they do the better. Especially given they apparently won't do anything about being used for violent organisation.

About the only organisation guaranteed to be more wrong than the Australian Government about literally everyting is Facebook.

All you're showing is that you don't know much of quantum mechanics either. Should you choose to change that, MIT has published a nice lecture series on quantum physics [0], the first in a group of three.

Your bold claim "why something rather than nothing?" assumes that there is, in fact, a something to refer to, and QM directly challenges the simplicity of that assumption. So many words to fight against the lack of an ontic wavefunction!

This whole thread is an exercise in pedantry - and that's okay, we tend to revel in analysis of the minutia here.

Whether a holder of a British passport could be called xenophobic about the British, especially when making a comment about the regrettable decision by the British to remove themselves from the EU - well, it seems a bold claim to make.

I genuinely am wildly fascinated to see what happens as the Brexit catastrophe unfolds.

I'll admit that I was mildly frustrated by your apparent unwillingness to engage on the much more interesting discussion to be had around the flaws in your argument.

“An update about...” implies the reader is unlikely to care unless already following the story. If they wanted to reach normal users there would be A/B-tested headlines, pastel illustrations, and bolded reassurances that your Facebook isn’t going away.
You're right, but the discussion thread is about Apple requiring mandatory IAP (not just Apple Pay) before it will approve an app that sells fitness services, and then the discussion went into payment for telemedicine service - which presumably also require IAP and its 30% fee if Apple is consistent.
Boundless cynicism won't help you improve things. If the things you read make sense and hold up to your critical analysis and are things you think should happen, try to make them happen. If it should happen that there are others who have a financial reason for wanting to make the things that you want to happen happen, that is not a bad thing, that is a reason for them to help make the things you want to have happen happen, which is good. As the scale of the problem increases, the odds that someone somewhere is trying to find a way to have a financial incentive to solve the problem approaches unity. That doesn't mean big problems shouldn't be solved, it means that people are trying to align their interests with the interests you want to succeed. Again, that's good, if you want to see the problems solved.

I'm skeptical that this article is accurately portraying the FAA permission that Amazon has been granted.

The FAA has been aggressive about forbidding beyond visual line of sight operation of drones without spotters or radar coverage. I suspect the permission is not for true BVLOS deliveries, but rather deliveries with a spotter watching the route, or BVLOS with a radar covering the entire route, or some other commercially impractical system of monitoring.

The FAA is being hamstrung by the pilots association and various other unions that are fearful that this kind of automated delivery will reduce the volume of pilot and union jobs available in America. The Luddites in DC are the most powerful force in American robot regulation today.
Sure. Discoverability is great for new users to software. After the initial learning period I care far more about ease of performing repetitive actions. Discoverability is useless to me when I've already established a workflow and just want to perform known actions.

I was specifically talking about things they do hundreds of times a day (at least) like dispensing medication, requesting medication, inputting vitals, taking notes, etc. Those things shouldn't require 10-15 clicks and 4 different modals/menus each time. They're extremely common use cases that a nurse will likely be performing a number of times in every single room they enter.

And why shouldn't they have an opinion on what is important? They're the ones using the software all day!
Fair enough, I simply don't trust any corporation to act in my interest - if there was a trusted third party lobbying for FB/Google's position I may have another look

Of course I would like to see the government go further and upset News Corp as well, but upsetting these two seems like a good first step
It says they must negotiate, and crucially, that if they can't come to an agreement they must enter binding arbitration. Currently publishers can go to Facebook and say, "Pay us for linking to our pages." And Facebook can say, "No, we don't derive benefit from links to your pages; we're not paying you for them." Under this law, the publisher could then force FB into binding arbitration where, presumably, their $0 offer wouldn't be accepted.

I suppose in theory FB could only block those news outlets that attempted to negotiate, but somehow I expect the government would take a dim view of that.

Somewhat related, from Daring Fireball's clipping of https://themargins.substack.com/p/facebook-the-pr-firm:

> So, in that way, I read Facebook less as a tech company, but instead a communications one. Not a telecom communications, but more like a PR / marketing consultancy. There’s nothing original about Facebook. It’s a company that hires people to build others’ ideas, and, more often than not, it does that better and faster than them too. And when it can’t do that, it just buys them outright. There is a lot of building, but the ideas are outsourced. But what Facebook is really good at is actually doing all this while fighting what seems to be a never-ending, at least since 2016 or so, PR battle while not giving an inch.

> With all the negative press around, you might think they are not doing a good job at avoiding criticism, but consider the alternative that they’ve been able to weather all this because they’ve been able to deflect the criticism and avoid scrutiny and accountability. I know this all sounds pretty unhinged right now, but, stay with me. This is a company who hires conservative politicians to its highest ranks in multiple countries, while maintaining a veneer of political neutrality. The same company pretends its not the arbiter of truth while employing tens of thousands of people to do exactly that. Ask yourselves: What has changed at Facebook?
Wasn’t it UPS that was prototyping a series of drones that docked on top of the truck, using it as a hub to deliver packages within a short range? I could see something like that being a logical next step for this tech.
A week ago back some friends and I looked at the draft of the law... it's honestly terrifying.

They basically want Google/fb/? to be upfront with all changes. The goal is clearly to give aussie media outlet an unfair advantage and let them use this information to manipulate the ranking algorithm and/or bypass whatever restrictions are put in place. These info need to be "in terms that are readily comprehensible".

IANAL, but here's a few (reformatted) articles from the draft:

52M:

Google/fb/? will need to give aussie media companies access to:

- a list and explanation of the data that the digital platform service collects (whether or not it shares the data with the
registered news business) about the registered news business’
users through their engagement with covered news content
made available by the digital platform service;

- a list and explanation of the data that the digital platform
service currently has a practice of making available to
registered news businesses;

My interpretation:
these companies will be required by law to share more user data than they currently do.

52N:

- if: changes are planned to be made to an algorithm of the digital platform service; and the changes are likely to have a significant effect on the ranking of the registered news business’ covered news content made available by the digital platform service.

- then: notice of the change is given to the registered news business corporation for the registered news business at least 28 days before the change is made

My interpretation:

The government wants aussie media companies to be able to be proactive and change their site/service so that ranking changes are minimised

52O:

- if: the changes are specifically designed to have an effect on the ranking or display of content behind a paywall.

- then: notice of the change is given to the registered news business corporation for the registered news business; and the notice is given at least 28 days before the change is made;

My interpretation:

media companies don't like when Google penalises paywalls. This will give them a 28 day window to change how they do paywall so that Google won't be able to detect it. Like a whack a mole where you have to announce what you are about to hit

and this keeps going:

- 52P: 28 days notice for changes to how news items are displayed

- 52Q: 28 days notice for changes to advertising (if it affects news)

- 52S: media outlet must be able to moderate comments on their items (does that include comments on shared items? surely not?)

Your doctor shouldn't be having you fill out the exact same information. Review of systems (like if you have a cough, etc) is fine, but all of your past history? It should just be what has changed or been added to your problem list since the last time they saw you.
The article uses 32 bits per pixel to illustrate the growth in performance requirements:

> In framebuffer however, to fill a 4K UHD-1 (3840x2160) screen in 32bpp mode we need to send 3840 * 2160 * 4 bytes of data, which is 33177600 bytes (approximately 33 MB).

but I don't know if that is in fact the definition a "framebuffer console" versus a terminal that uses character addressing.

That's a different issue that actually supporting 32-bit ANSI codes, but I think it's an indication of the scope of a an effort to update the console implementation.
This is very good. It's the same one embedded near the end of the article.
> They dictate in many ways how software must work in medical settings.

Would it be possible for an EMR software vendor to ship both a "canonical" client interface that meets all the specs/requirements; and then a separate, secondary client interface, for the same backend, which isn't included in the "package" of EMR software sold to the clinic/hospital/etc., but rather is instead a "bottom-up adoption" play, with download links to it being passed around under-the-table between doctors?

If there's any potential for doctors being liable for such-and-such if they were found to not be "using" the primary client, then said secondary interface could be implemented as macro+screen-scraping software, that operates the primary client-interface underneath—much like Mint used to do before banks supported OFX export. Then just get it classified as accessibility software, like a screen reader, and let those doctors claim a need for it :)
