I agree - the situation described in the article is so so illegal. If a landlord did this they could be sued out of existence. As we move into the future smart homes are becoming ubiquitous. It is only natural that they become built into homes including rentals for those that want it.

If a landlord wanted to spy on you there are far less obvious ways to do it (that are also very illegal).
I am glad this works for you! Maybe it's because I can't switch my mind so easily, I prefer a physical distance (I don't think a separate room would be enough for me either).

3%?

What percentage do you think it costs simply to process the credit card for a $10 app? What about for a $1 app?

Why do you think so many bricks and mortar shops have a “minimum purchase” requirement to pay with a card?

If the swipe costs 3%, what should all the rest of the app store’s value cost?

You could compare to competitors, such as Xbox store, for an answer.

Were you guys ever curious as to what the word “anthrop” means exactly?

Here’s an interesting explanation from Socrates:” Socrates
I will tell you. The name “man” (ἄνθρωπος) indicates that the other animals do not examine, or consider, or look up at (ἀναθρεῖ) any of the things that they see, but man has no sooner seen—that is, ὄπωπε—than he looks up at and considers that which he has seen. Therefore of all the animals man alone is rightly called man (ἄνθρωπος), because he looks up at (ἀναθρεῖ) what he has seen (ὄπωπε).”

http://perseus.uchicago.edu/perseus-cgi/citequery3.pl?dbname...

And yet the English “man”, Spanish “hombre”, Russian Мужик mean the same yet different thing, namely a (working) hand. As in “how many hands do you have in your factory?”
I think it would be hard for Elixir to replace Python or Go for general purpose CLI tools.

Part of what makes Python nice is it's available everywhere. If you have a zero dependency CLI tool, using Python is nice because you can just run the script straight up. The standard library also has good support for argument parsing. I've written a bunch of little tools to help my daily workflow on the command line. I always reach for Python or Bash depending on what I'm doing. I haven't really seen a compelling reason to switch.
Might be that I am older than most of you, but when I was in high school the term was "social studies" then later it evolved to "social science" so the university crowd could legitimize it to get more funding. there obviously is no science in it.

> Because they had to pay goodreads a commission each time

But why were they doing that?

"the vast majority of internet users were hooked on Amazon" so they were buying through Amazon anyway.
In Amazon’s early days they had human genre section buyers who managed what was promoted. When I worked for an sf publisher in the 90s we’d see them at cons. They would come to our parties and we would spend their expense account money. They’d look at the books we recommended. It was very different.
Early in my career I faked it many times just to get those jobs. I dont have a degree so i did what I had to to survive. I didn't fake any documents or something like that, I just lied in interviews and lucky for me they didn't background check deep enough.

Now I don't have to lie about my education. I would like to think its because of my skills I developed over 16 years but it could also be the times changing.

Like many here I also enjoy hobby development projects. I also suffer from imposter syndrome probably because to some commenters' point, I am an actual imposter.
Greed as the root cause is a very narrow and very naive view IMO.

Does FZF work with a list of vim's ex commands as source (preferably including plugin defined commands)?

> buy what's in season at the farmers market, what the CSA delivers, and from the bulk section. I buy from the same farmers so we've become friendly and they give me a lot of free vegetables -- the ugly ones they take back to compost or the greens others decline when they buy beets or radishes and don't know they're edible.

This is tangential but brings me to something I find hilarious.

Farmers here don’t tend to give those vegetables away to anyone. They repackage them and bring them to the farmers markets in the city and market the hell out of the whole “farm to table/rustic” thing.

I’m from the townships a lot of the stalls I see here (Toronto) come from.

My partner fell for it once and I rudely laughed at her (I’ve apologized!). She went out to one of the local markets and picked up what was a ...rustic... looking and misshapen long bell pepper. Taking one look at the thin-walled, Unripe green/ruddy thing I just sort of blurted. I explained to her why they’d bring that stuff up to the city on their weekend stall day along with their other goods.

We cut it up and tried it. It was horrible. It was bitter and somehow hard even though the fruit was only about 3mm thick.

And I still find it funny because I know those families and their produce is amazing. We go to one of their shops whenever I visit my family and load up.

Waste not want not, eh?
Apple is a giant corporation with varied interests. In some areas they align with consumers (they’re not heavily in advertising... yet) while in others their anti-competitive behavior is harmful.

Writing these impassioned posts like you’re defending the decisions of your favorite sports team that can do no wrong... oof.
You're right, and half wrong at the same time. Yes, everyone will need to change habits, but a huge part of that change will require massive changes upstream - and the exact type of changes the oil and gas and GOP-mind-share cannot tolerate. Manufacturing and packaging of EVERYTHING will have to require careful and specific regulation of what plastics and hybrid constructions of plastic, metal and paper that can and cannot be put into products and their packaging. That is STEP ONE, BEFORE THE POPULATIONS' MATERIAL EFFORTS CAN ACTUALLY BEGIN. So, do you really think this is an issue of "getting everybody to conserve" or is it an issue of "getting the GOP-mind-share to recognize the necessity of serious and enforced regulations".
Quite many outside USA, I would say.

What's wrong with checks/cheques? I prefer paying by check and I'd be pretty miffed if ever I had a landlord that didn't accept them. I don't understand why Europeans think the option of paying by check is so derisible. I could just as easily have the money sent automatically by my credit union every month, but I want to pay by check.

Such album format is actually quite similar to what the app does, its trivial to add an option to allow that.

Another problem I have with metadata (usually while dealing with times), its that some cameras include the timezone, which the app isn't parsing right now, but that means that a photo can get in a previous/next month.

> some times "sort by date" doesn't work

Actually, I forget to mention in the README that the app sets the last modified time to match the metadata date, so that sorting potentially works again.
Tl;dr, companies would rather not spend money complying with methane regulations. They’d rather try and win the messaging war. This is largely about the gas escaping during oil drilling. Big companies are more willing to play by the rules than the small companies.

The execs made jokes about hippies “wanting to change the world” until they grew up, got jobs, and bought BMWs.

It’s not the bombshell alluded to in the headline, but it’s somewhat interesting. Perhaps most interesting is their realization that activists are winning on the emotional messaging, and they need a shift in strategy.
They could still link to it without embedding. I don't see a reason for not doing it because even the "deleted" message is a message. It doesn't break the experience but ads information to it. In this case: the author didn't want to have this up anymore.

The utter lack of linking in internet articles is terrible. I understand that it's like free advertisement sometimes but hell...you're already reporting and the traffic from your page would ENCOURAGE potential ad clients to run ads on your page if it generates so much traffic...
Unfortunately no notifications on here, and also I had to think about what I was going to say :)

In what way? Smart home control? Alexa demonstrably does not listen to your conversations and it would be illegal for a landlord to do so. This just seems like a nice way to build smart home abilities into a house or rental so people don’t have to bring a million bulbs/hubs/sensors with them everywhere.
Thank you for looking this up.

I don't understand how Apple protects by taking a large cut of same?
Just a general response to some of the skeptics here (I hear your points, I just think we're still early in the game). I do believe this will happen. I believe it's inevitable, it will just take time. The main advantage over current networks+apps is that it breaks the barrier to entry for new competitors. Mastodon etc are still early newcomers who still have to break that barrier. But once there are many of them playing in the same water, they can gradually build a competing network - slowly at first, then they'll win over the entire new generation. Whatever the next "tik-tok" is could be decentralized, and then the flood gates open. Advertising and privacy issues will still exist, but it will be competitive. There will no longer be a monopoly gate keeper who that sets the rules. Lots of details to be worked out for sure. We need user interfaces to improve and get simplified. I agree that right now federated platforms like mastodon are still too cumbersome for users. But I believe all of this will improve and this will work eventually. I think it's coming this decade.

Coworking space or a small private office that's separate from your house/aparment.
The issue is while you're on the clock; I don't take those longer breaks to get a coffee, it's right behind me. I take shorter lunches, it's right there behind me. (etc.) People who are not tenured remote employees are still struggling to find a healthy life balance as they've spent 20 years working in an office.

My company (~10k, global, mix of hourly and salaried) has multiple times sent out pandemic guidance asking people to take more time off and stop working so much, they see the extra hours in their time tracking tooling upstream (and it's not a financial play, they're targeting the salaried).
A lot, actually. The rate of people with driver's licenses in the US has been steadily decreasing since 1983.
This is a false dichotomy. You could very well get your drivers license and have the ability to drive a car but not own one, for example. Reducing your consumption doesn't mean accepting something that prevents you from functioning at all.

Everyone can improve things their own way, and oil isn't just there to power your damn car. Take a look around your place and tell me how much plastic is used around you. What about those plans to extend your house if you have one? What about perhaps investing that same money into increasing energy efficiency for your living space? The whole "think of those poor people who can't drive to work" thing is an absolutely false dichotomy.

If you don't actually chip off the unnecessary bits of your energy and materials consumption in your life by your own choice, you will NOT have the choice over what gets chipped off. If you're 17 right now, this will very much affect you and your kids even by the time you reach the age of those execs.

You really underestimate what people given power, implicit or explicit, can do with it. Once you're able to tell people what work they should do, you have a lot of power to wield as you wish.
This is an argument that comes up often, e.g. gas tax should be used for roads.

The misconception is that it sees taxes only as a means of generating revenue to offset the cost or externalities of what’s being taxed.

But taxes are also important in steering behavior. In this case by forcing bags to To be non-free (and not allowing stores to compete by advertising free bags) it incentivizes folks to start bringing their own bag. The revenue is inconsequential.
Citation required, as this really sounds like one of the incredibly short sighted "reasonings" used by conservative people with the incredible vision capability that only sees the tip of their noses.

GDPR has a separate, less-known article that bans fully automated decision making without an appeals process: https://gdpr-info.eu/art-22-gdpr/

It's unlikely you'll be able to get Paypal to actually comply with it, but going through a path that will hit someone familiar with GDPR and mentioning this article, and escalating via the DPA, is probably the most promising option

Obviously doesn't help if you need something done quickly, because especially if you need to get the DPA involved, this process will take months.
Kind of ironic as well considering it was Bostock while at the NYT who released a number of widely used, and highly influential, open source libraries.
I'd guess at least 50% of the female population under 30 of where I live would welcome such a feature. Especially during darkness they are always talking on the phone, or simulating to be in a talk with someone.

Which is obvious when you see them long before they see you, and when they do, begin to bubble stuff.
> Decentralized means it's inevitably more cumbersome to use.

Which will lead to a lot of users being hosted on a single instance which provides convenient access, which completes the loop to centralized. See gmail.

> And if you actually do succeed in this you'll inevitably end up with a platform where highly immoral content is just a wrong click away.

I don't think that is necessarily a problem for most users.

This is, though. See Reddit :(

> But Facebook has 2.5 billion users and Instagram 1 billion — and they’re the sole gatekeepers of their own massive platforms.

What's good for the goose, not the gander type of mentality at play here.

However, using these numbers 2.5 BILLION users for FB and 1 BILLION users for Insta. Even if these platforms have to go with non-targeted ads, that's still a huge pool of potential eyeballs for an advertiser. If you we placed in front of 1% of that pool, that's 10 MILLION viewers. You'd be hard pressed to get those numbers for a national TV ad. So even 0.5% brings it down to 5 MILLION people. These are very large numbers.
I could work with it if I was forced to do it, which I was for a few months. If I had to do it for an even longer period, a separate room would probably be necessary. But having a "black space" room is not exactly something I want in my private space either. (Not to think about my work most likely not willing to pay rent for that room :D )

I know this is a personal preference, but for me, physical distance makes my work more productive and my private time more relaxing.

> When your small local accountant figures out how to manage work from home a few days per week that creates small, cumulative gains

But what are those gains you get from working from home? The only "real" one I can think of is no commute ... but that removes productivity from the businesses now failing and going bankrupt because they have no/reduced customers.

Plus the commute is not just dead time, at least for me I usually triage my inbox before I arrive at the office. Now I just waste time and have an extra bowl of cereal it read the internet for half an hour instead of doing anything useful.
Yes you can... You can't go to zero, but it's untrue to say "I can do nothing".

As a former young man, and current middle aged man, my perspectice is this: Those old men were young people once, not long ago. You might not compromise your values, but in reality, you probably will. And your peers definitely will. A few generations will grow up and suddenly, you're the bad guy because, oh I dunno, all your cell phones and tablets used up all the bismuth or something. And you'll get old one day too, desperately holding onto the thing that lets you retire. Again maybe not you, but your peers will.

That said, it's not that you shouldnt keep trying, it's just interesting how it happens. We should break the cycle of blame, and make a lateral move to create the future we want on a new path.

It makes me think, "Render unto Ceasar".
I’ve been in morally compromising situations before... so whereas I commiserate the situation these people are in I cannot bring myself to condemn them.

As someone who spent years running marketing agencies I can attest that this is all sound advice. My principle advice for early marketing hires is to bring in people who know how to get money in the door starting yesterday.

A few points I'd like to mention though:

> If they are focused on how big of a budget they'll get, that's a major red flag.

I think it's fair to ask is there any money for this? and is there a revenue stream (even just a trickle?) yet? If you're going to potentially be the head of marketing you might want to see that the CEO has their head on straight and has made some sort of progress.

> Hire someone who can do everything themselves. Make sure they won't need to rely on agencies.

I'm not convinced this is practical in all cases. Sometimes the right move is to let someone else take something off your plate. Finding someone who errs on the side of 'I can do that myself' is probably the right choice though.
