I'm not a vegetarian, but also think that killing an animal when there's another option should be avoided -- and when I grill the IB's, they taste just like meat and even pass the 12 yo test. (The key is on the grill - fried up, not as good.) I'd love to see the time when we all eat meat only as a special occasion (<= once every few weeks) and giving thanks and respect to the animal. And the environmental benefits are huge. (Beyond is pretty good too, but not quite as beef-like, esp. if not well-done.)
Now if they make a bacon that's just as convincing, I will definitely be celebrating!
I'm not anti-capitalism, but markets aren't a naturally regulating thing. They need to be managed.[0] And the government plays a role in shaping to what ends those markets are managed for. E.g. if your market is allowing wealthy foreigners to buy property that then goes unused it's not a well-functioning market, regardless of how much it is aligned with "capitalism".[1]

[0]: And they are always managed. Even "free"-markets are managed, since free-markets are not a natural state, at least not for long.

[1]: Capitalism itself is a vague word that can be used to describe any number of only superficially related systems. E.g., 1800s Britain was capitalist, and had working conditions so appalling that they made Marx's ideas attractive. Modern Nordic capitalism is quite different from that, but would also still be described as capitalism (except by Democratic Socialists who know nothing about Scandinavia and are trying to convince people that those countries are actually socialist).
Ripping the band-aid off certainly hurts less overall than the slow peel, no? :)
Exactly...the 2 ingredients for a B2B startup is tech/expertise and the ability to talk to businesses. Trying to outsource that 2nd part might be a sign that B2B is not the right space for the founder. B2C it is possible to survive on tech alone since you can go viral (e.g. TikTok).
> Amazon does have devices listening in every home.

No, they don’t. It’s a choice people make, and most aren’t buying Kindle, Echo or other near useless spying device like that.
There is some public good in selling consoles as loss leaders; it allows disadvantaged people to participate. Video games are becoming a big part of our culture, and it sucks that participating in that culture requires spending a bunch of money on hardware every generation.

I also think there are more substantial differences. The most major being the difficulty in switching. Switching consoles means losing my data most of the time, but they're just save games, achievements and friends list. If my console melted down tomorrow, it'd be fine. Switching phone OS is a lot harder. Contacts and calendars are relatively easy to switch, but it gets hard after that. How do I get all my data off the old phone? Am I sure I exported my 2FA keys right? If my phone melts down and takes the cloud backups with it, my life is in a world of hurt.

I am also curious how first-party software will be handled. Is it okay to have a closed marketplace on your own software if that marketplace only serves your software? Just as an example, if I get an LG smart fridge that has a marketplace to download new widgets for the display, and LG only allows the sale of LG apps there, is that okay? I'm wondering if app stores won't just shift their model. Instead of "you upload an app, and we'll pay you what users pay us for it minus our cut" it will become "You grant us a perpetual license to distribute your application, and we will pay you 70% royalties on the money we earn". I wonder if that shifts any liability around
EDIT: I guess I was rude? Sorry about that.
True, but then you have to deal with Oracle. So you will still lose money in the end.
> As soon as this is materially cheaper than meat it will become the 'filler' used on so many burgers, taco places etc. and they'll do it without telling customers.

This already exists. Tofu is commonly used in fast food as a meat "filler", and very few people notice as it is. Tacos at Jack in the Box "May Contain Soy Products", and more.

Making "Impossible Meat" is always going to be more expensive than Tofu fillers, simply because it's processed to a much higher degree and requires a lot of ingredients.

Free tier is quiet extensive and "forever". Not just a trial.
The way that other platforms have done it is by using custom labels - so the messages just get labeled as "snoozed until tomorrow", and at 9am the client simply grabs all those and moves them back to inbox and deletes the label. That's how Mailbox did it, for example.

Once Snooze is added, I'll happily buy this app for $20+ - I've been waiting for something like this since Inbox and Mailbox were killed off.
This is very similar to Intellij's perpetual fallback license.

I really hope that courts start striking down the various non-compliant banners and DPAs are secretly making a list and will start fining the shit out of them.

Notwithstanding your point about the desirability/practicality of a China style response outside of china, this:

" I think Sweden showed that it ..."

has not been established yet so remains only one of a number of (potentially) interesting noisy data sets.

Of course the range of response is much broader than US style incoherence to China style authoritarian control. There are bound to be a variety of interesting learnings from this range if we can get past personal/regional/national blinders.
You can add all articles afterwards (even though it can be tedious).

There is actually a tool that is supported by HAL that makes it easier to quickly add all your publications by just giving your name: https://dissem.in/

CPF and SSN are just numbers that uniquely identify a person.

The difference is that in Brazil, because of bureaucracy and fraud prevention, it is a lot harder to use somebody else's data to your benefit. Which is just as well, because most Brazilians are not careful at all and will readily give out their data.

I will give an example of how insane the bureaucracy can be: I once had to show my personal documents to an authority (ID, work card, driver's licence, certificate of birth, and so on). Because I was not born in Brazil, I was asked to show proof that I was Brazilian, to which I replied: how could I possibly have all this documentation and not be Brazilian?

But it is getting better and government offices speak to each other (through databases and webservices) and so they can more easily identify a person and not require so much paperwork. Still, some older folks can't shake their mentality.

They actually don't, unless you define selling as they allow advertisers to select what demographics/attributes their ads target. But the actual data stays on the Facebook servers. If you're referring to the apps having access to user data, that was not selling at all, but instead a permission originally granted by users by probably forgotten about. Basically, unless you contort the definition of selling to a very different meaning, that's simply not true.

And if you do use that definition of selling, then everyone is selling your data. All the politicians who decry tech companies are selling your data using the same definition. Every advertiser, retail store, bank, basically every large business offers other businesses a way to access a specific subset of their users.
Whoever is running Amazon's PR is either really good and has determined this won't matter, or is really really incompetent. Based on how the PR for HQ2 in NYC went, I'm suspecting the latter.

Great work! I look forward to using this.

Not sure if this has been mentioned in the comments yet (I came across this post 100+ comments later), but one thing I miss terribly after leaving AirMail was the ability to write markdown in email. I absolutely loved the split-pane window when writing an email, and see it update in real-time as I write my markdown'ed email.

I am on the web-client for Gmail for now, and although there are browser plugins for MD, they feel quite clunky to use. It would be great if you could consider MD support in composing emails!
Yeah, no. They sell the ability to target groups of people based on these characteristics. They don't sell data on individuals.
The bigger questions is why waste $7,000 on this when that sum could have gone to your heirs?

Sorry! I was wrong you are correct.

I never thought of null-termination as a "sentinel". I thought sentinel means strategically putting somewhere a value to avoid having to check for termination condition. Null-termination is not a sentinel, IMO. It is the opposite - terminator, which has to be explicitly checked for. Am I wrong here?

BTW. If you really want speed, SIMD will obliterate any non-SIMD solution, and my bet would be that most of the time SIMD will be easier to implement with length prefix because it will not have to handle a special case of null-termination. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Trailing zero is a a typical case of a short-signed hack. More naive, simpler, natural solution (length prefix) actually works better, especially long term, where other things change (hardware architecture, performance and resource constraint, use cases).
It's interesting - how did you identify the expertise gap in the big firms? From their websites, they advertise that they can pretty much do everything under the sun. Also, interesting there's a checkbox for woman-owned-business.
The second paragraph of the article answers your question. Recommended extensions go through a stricter review and, if approved, are then "prominently recommended on AMO and other Mozilla channels". Mozilla has been doing this curation "for free" and at their own discretion; now they're adding a paid "shortcut" for anyone whose extensions are under their radar.
One of my first "startups" was basically this as a service in 2006 [1] and the Houston Chronicle did a brief story on it under "Get the Message" in 2007[2].

The idea was basically that anyone could pay to get any message delivered anonymously using our service as a cut out [3].

1. Client pays UCC to send a message of their choosing

2. UCC Contractor delivers message and sends proof and any response, back to UCC

3. UCC sends client the proof and any response

This was pre-smart phone, pre-gig economy, pre-easy payments and was done with me hiring random people off of craigslist as messengers and taking messages from emails.

I think someone could actually turn this into a real service today for really cheap. Probably doesn't scale though.

That's a different argument. Not needing it doesn't mean it doesn’t exist.

If you don't need Kubernetes then don't use it. But if you do then you can't make it any simpler than the complexity needed to deliver the functionality.

Built in deployments, process health, logging, load balancing, security, high availability, config and secret management, volumes and persistence, and much more in exchange for some YAML files is a pretty good encapsulation of complexity though.

When the 8Gbps FC network used one color and the old routers only managed a couple 1Gbps links on the other available colors IPoFC seemed like a pretty good idea, especially when NetApp would only snapmirror over IP.

I certainly hope someone has turned that off by now.

The connection with religion goes deeper that it seems.

Mission, vision / visionary, iconic (product), (job) creator, charismatic, angel (investors).

All these words had a purely religious meaning 200 years ago.

This is not just natural evolution of the language. Other fields don't have this amount of religious words at all.

We use it as a business tool. Charm is not a consideration.

Teams works for us. Chat works, charming or not. And say suddenly you need to share your desktop while chatting to show some issue, well no problem. Need to invite a couple of folks from support to get some of their input? No problem, just invite them. Poof you got an ad-hoc meeting going and you get an issue solved in 5-10 minutes and customer is happy.

It's not like I want to marry it, but for the most part it works quite well and doesn't get in my way. And so it's a decent enough tool.

> Part of Epic's legal team's arguments was that there is binding legal precedent that "self inflicted harm" was not disqualifying of any of their claims in an anti-trust suit due to the standing hurdle

I think you've misunderstood this part of the hearing. The cases they attempted to cite said that the doctrine of "unclean hands" is not a valid defense in an antitrust claim. It's unrelated to standing or whether their injury was self-inflicted for purposes of the TRO and the judge said in her ruling that it wasn't relevant to her analysis. [1]

> a similar anti-trust suit filed by an Apple user was thrown out without a trial on grounds that the customer was not able to sufficiently demonstrate Apple's practices harmed them

If you are referring to Apple v. Pepper note that this ruling was reversed by the Supreme Court and the case is still ongoing. [2]

Would you mind providing a source of Mark saying this? I somewhat agree with this, but I also know it wouldn't be difficult to find examples of founders who are not "good entrepreneurs" that were able to have successful start-ups by leveraging the expertise of their peers.

I do think there is such a thing as good activism, when investors use their own long-term position in a company to insist on changes and accountability which they plan to benefit from over time. And I also think there is bad activism, which has a different tenor and character.

Good governance means, in part, shifting the power structures of the corporation to make it easier to do the good and harder to do the bad kinds of activism.

> "data caps and data throttling means they don't actually directly compete"

That depends on where you're located. In the UK, unlimited data plans are common on 4G/5G, and mobile carriers compete directly for home broadband customers. For example:

http://www.three.co.uk/store/broadband/home-broadband

https://www.vodafone.co.uk/gigacube/

In my case, since there's no fibre installed into my building, 5G wireless with unlimited data (no caps, no throttling) works out both slightly cheaper and much faster than any available wired option.
Its not like they have no competition- if people end up trusting walmart more than amazon we could see a shift happen. And again - HQ2. That was a huge miscalculation that resulted in actual problems for them - they're not able to get everything they want.
I think he got hired because AWS likes government and military contracts, and he has personal phone numbers of people who make that sort of decisions.

Ranking items and then choosing the most favorable is exactly where the phrase came from. "Clear and consistent" is not sufficient. Any lie can be clear and consistent. There also has to be a reason beyond self-interest for limiting the sample to a particular subset.
I can understand the benefit of automating these things but I think it would probably be better for people to setup these things manually first. At least to understand what each step is doing. Otherwise, people are trusting rather a core piece of infrastructure with a random docker image online.

I found personally that there are several aspects of this automation that needs tweaking.

* If you need ipv6 support this config needs to be overhauled.

* Wireguard config should have ipv6 addresses set to avoid potential leakages (even if ipv6 is disabled).

* This setup would benefit from some ddns mechanism as most people do not have static ip setups.

* Firefox is beginning to have https only modes in which case maybe I would like to adjust lighthttp to work with that.

The list goes on.
The author provides a counter point:

> My client was knocking on death's door and he was not going to have the strength to say or do these things himself, but he really felt empowered through knowing I would be able to do what I did.
Yes, some people would change, there's no doubt.

The point being: why does the author think that 'most' people would feel this way?

Because I suspect that the vast majority of people don't.

My suspicion is that the vast majority of people would view a 'regular burger' as 'more healthy' than most plant-based alternatives (even if they were roughly the same), and that all even if things were 'equal' or even slightly favourable to the veggie burger for 'health', they would prefer meat.

You folks do realize that probably the majority of food in the US is probably unhealthy? And that people aren't really making their choices based on health so much?

I believe that 'people like us' mostly live in bubbles and have a hard time grasping what 'most people' like. Every time I visit my 'very normal' family members I am reminded.

If there is a dramatic difference in price I can see change, but otherwise, people will want their regular burgers.

I would even go a step further: the more 'regular people' can be convinced the meat is 'real' and of 'high quality' - the more they will value it. Not less.
A prof of econ stigler (Nobel laureate) made a decent argument that the discrepancy arose with the a movement somewhere in the 60-70s (US) I believe that corporations do the best good by increasing shareholder value measured by stocks and options on same. That's an important factor in real wage growth discrepancy.
It’s their $7000, they can do what they want with it. If they want to leave it to their heirs, no one is stopping them.
