The Great Firewall and Social Credit system are both run by the government and definitely penalize this behavior.

Of course there's no law explicitly saying "you can't talk about Tiananmen Square" because that law would be talking about Tiananmen Square which is the opposite of what they want.
Many distributions (Ubuntu, etc.) treat GTK as the platform's native GUI toolkit, at least in terms of customization and accessibility features. And, from what I've read on @raphlinus' blog, one of the goals is to integrate well with the native platform. So I think, rather than defeating the purpose, it's entirely in line with the purpose.
Hitboxes That Feel Good: Reinventing the Goomba Stomp
I find some of the sliders for on/off are impossible to read. You can't work out what is on or off.

Windows 3.11 / 95 UI seems such a good idea by comparison to today's UIs - checkboxes with obvious tick marks or X marks in them, radio buttons, buttons that look like actual buttons, scrollbars you can see without having to flail the mouse around just for them to appear, scrollbars that go the right way when you use the mouse wheel (ok that was Windows 98), maximise buttons that actually maximised a window without having to hold alt like on macOS these days...
Someone managed to compile Windows from recent source code leak
Hedge funds underperform the index because hedge funds exist.

I'm going to circle back to what I originally said. The alternative reality of zero hedge funds is not a reality that can possibly exist. The reason it can't exist is because the lack of hedge funds will create edge in the market, which will incentivize the creation of hedge funds (or other trading companies). So, given that zero hedge funds is not possible, then what is the best thing for society? The answer is that we want the best and most efficient hedge funds to extract all available edge with the minimum possible resource input. Once this happens, we achieve perfect competition and new talent no longer had an incentive to perform this activity and can go and do more useful things for society. This is the value add of hedge funds in our society. If we have one good hedge fund that extracts all edge, then the thousands of other would-be investors and traders can now go off and be scientists or engineers.
Oh, it's better than the old one on nearly every way, but the energy consumption is about the same (both are electric heaters, just in different formats) and it's harder to see if it turned on.
> the marketer who feels entitled to my data without my consent.

> I stressed informed consent

You continue to lie. Your accusation was clear, it's still there. You accused me of contacting people without consent, AKA spamming.

You have yet to retract your false allegations. I'm not going to engage with someone who openly lies and fails to retract falsehoods that the person spreads.

If I was into cheap shots, I'd use your profession to judge you. But I think of that as very immature and even bordering on bigotry. Instead I'm calling out specific bad actions you committed against me. I am not a spammer sir, and such accusations are completely uncalled for. I don't take kindly to being accused of criminal behavior.

> Why would I be?

I don't know. Maybe you watched a movie about white supremacists when you were a child and it stick to your mind. People tend to have biases and see what they want to see. Some people see white supremacists everywhere. Otheres constantly see examples of inter-racial love and friendship.

> In a nation where it was legal to own black people for most of its existence and less than 40 years since the last lynching, you think the burden of proof is on me to show that white supremacy is a problem?

Maybe it is a problem, maybe it is not a problem.

The original statement was not about that. Quoting:

> But if you scale it by each person's power/wealth, you get a very different view. If your question is "what is the total power held by white supremacists?" you'll end up with a larger number.

This is the statement I'm contensting. Because it is unsubstantiated.

Article is 50% angry filler that says nothing.

The actual content is that (as already reported)

Leigh leaked the encryption password for the interacted files before Assange leaked unredacted files

Assange gave the unredacted files to Leigh instead of giving a redacted copy, despite Assange's scrupulous redaction efforts in the files he originally published

Assange (partially) reuses passwords across his wikileaks files(!) and even across passwords he gives to others(!!!) (Leigh)

Guardian made a dubious claim that the password had somehow "expired" like an OTP challenge-response code

No one from the Guardian isn't on trial for it's part in the allege crime of leaking secrets, showing this is purely a political persecution

They studiously avoid mentioning any of the criticisms of Signal, or alternatives fielded in response to Signal's failings.

I am transitioning to Matrix for those reasons. The problems Marlinspike worries about, such as bringing along the userbase to clients and servers that implement protocol improvements, are real, but seem manageable so far.

I've talk to people who said sometimes the benchmarks/tests are the problem.

For example, I recall there was some computer EPA energy saver test - you ran the test and compared energy used to energy used at idle. Thing is the computer was so efficient that running the test was done mostly in hardware and took very little energy. So the ratio of benchmark energy to idle energy was pretty much 1:1.

> “...in an anonymous and encrypted form”

This is not so hard to reverse given that Apple also has your location tied to your identity from other Apple services you use. Once you match that location to the encrypted user, who is often seen requesting their location data from work or home, you get the encrypted user's location data identified.

Compare to Android, where you don't have to send your location data anywhere to get your GPS location. iOS location privacy is strictly worse.

You also ignored the fact that every app install gets reported to Apple tied to your identity, which is arguably even more egregious.

To be fair I do the same thing. It's for my mental health and focus.
What does "loss of dignity" mean in this context? How does it differ from embarrassment? Why does being seen pooping cause it?

I'm not arguing, I'm just not sure what you mean.
I felt/feel the same, but I am greatly comforted by the add-on making an attempt to clearly communicate what it uses/needs each of those permissions for: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tridactyl-vim...

Even though there’s no guarantee that the explanation corresponds exactly to what is implemented behind the scenes, this unusual pattern of user respect and consideration makes the add-on/developers feel more trustworthy than other sketchier ones.
Congrats! You've won the options lottery. I'm going to watch the stock and maybe pick up a few shares later in the week.

> I think the more considered and closer one's speech is to factual, the harder it is to generate outrage

Sadly that's not the case since there is the phenomena of canceling people over what are called "hate facts".
> However, the judge seemed rather unconvinced that a market definition consisting of only iOS devices was actually the correct market to analyze... As an aside, I've read a number of comments here lamenting that the judge doesn't understand tech, but I think the opposite is true as well: many of the commenters here don't understand the law.

I mean this is probably a good case of "the law doesn't understand the law" in that the law does not have a particularly useful definition of what constitutes a "market"
My old LG "smart" TV would send a web request to LG every time I pressed ANY button on the remote control.

I took that stupid TV off the network as soon as I could.

I think the manufacturers are all as bad as each other. My current Panasonic TV will refuse to load any of the "smart" apps (even Netflix) if it cannot reach Panasonic's servers, which means the entire TV becomes useless as an Internet device (no Netflix or ANY streaming services) if Panasonic has a server issue (which they sometimes do).

Might revert to VHS at this rate.

Fish autocomplete seemed like magic when I first started using it. I does things like autocomplete file paths on the android side of adb sync commands, autocomplete on docker container hashes..
There is more than one factor to consider. Food is already way past being cheap and plentiful. Further optimizations go into enabling variety. Meanwhile, some prices are way too low, which is a serious problem in the climate crisis. What's the point of dining on a dirt cheap meat and 15 different flavors of the same yogurt today, only for our grandchildren to starve on a devastated planet?

I was born at the tail end of communism in my region so I haven't experienced the worst parts, but the 20+ years of market optimization in the food space that I actually remember went primarily into variety. There was no point in those 20 years where quality food was scarce or even too expensive for most.

I have people in my family who worked in grocery stores some years ago, when the market managed to optimize these jobs to the point there were a step away from modern slavery. Fortunately, a few large scandals over events like a pregnant employee losing child due to workload made the regulators clean the space up. Today, a chain store employee in Poland earns a reasonable salary and has hard, but not backbreaking work conditions.

There is a point past which things get too optimized, and there is no loss in preventing or reversing that.
you just helped me understand that the key is probably to very quickly understand whether the thing you're building can remain sustainable without scale, or absolutely needs to hit scale so it can be sustainable, and like you said that hasn't been distinguished in this article...

idk like in my head building a personalized black car service vs. building a bus-service fundamentally requires different conversations around scale b/c of the different domains
I was misremembering, it was the combination with motion commands: dt/ ct/ ; d0 -- if these work now you probably want to provide feedback on the issue I mentioned above, because it's still marked as open.
This sounds like a very good idea.
Brands have been meaningless for a long time. Open an applicance made by Whirlpool, Amana, Kitchen-Aid, Jenn-Air or Maytag and you'll find nearly identical internal components. They are all owned by Whirlpool. Yet this has no effect on people swearing by or swearing at any one brand.

Buying a car, you can try to shop by brand but surveys by Edmunds and Consumer Reports have the car companies trading places frequently year over year. Even perennial favorites Lexus and Toyota have model/year combinations that perform worse than other brands.

I'm not even sure that drop-shippers are hocking lower quality items. The items are so similar to name brand kit that I'm pretty sure they're using the same supply chains to source a lot of that stuff.
it is when it becomes the source of bugs. To keep the analogy rolling perhaps some had phantom pains in their vestigal tails until their brains adapted to the missing item?
That's an odd response. An EU based customer returned some equipment. The manufacturer should return EU appropriate hardware and settings.

Oil rigs have surprisingly decent Internet access (and it's free for workers).

My father works on off-shore rigs in Western Australia/PNG and has a higher up/down link and lower ping than I do at home. This has been the case for at least the last 10 years.
Does your Panasonic stop loading any smart apps if their servers go down too? Mine refused to load anything (eg. Netflix) if it can't get in touch with Panasonic.

Check what network activity it is engaging in. You'll be disappointed, I am sure. Seems dialling home is the new thing to do on every single device these days. Data vacuuming the entire human population just because they can.
It looks mostly incomplete...? I'm not quite sure if it's 'comprehensive' yet, some of the language and wording makes it look like it's aimed towards an adult who already knows Python and wants to review what the basics look like.

I'd suggest moving hosting to GitHub too, the pages themselves as they stand appear to look like little more than than a shill for connections. I'm not sure what the point of this exactly is, but if you're working this to completion, please don't let this discourage you. Just go heads down, make it open, and don't push a path for recognition and notoriety, especially if you're trying to help children learn, as opposed to simply increasing your clout.

Best of luck.
The carbon footprint of making a cloth or plastic bag is so insignificant. Just walk instead of driving once and you have offset a lifetime of bags.

Since Australia banned single use plastic bags at supermarkets I have not seen a single bag floating around the street which used to be a common sight.
I mean, what's your reason for optimism? The private market price has been $1-$2 below the option strike price for a few years now. Most employees who received options as part of their comp for the last five years or so would have been underwater if they exercised them. The company even started compensating in RSUs, despite many years of opposition to them.

California to use market power in bid to lower drug costs
Modern appliances and cars are highly repairable. I've repaired many of my own appliances and vehicles to significant savings. The difference is that labor is expensive. Fixing things takes problem solving skills that are generally highly valuable on the market. Especially when you couple those skills with a little bit of specialized knowledge.
Cynical, and I disagree. If you’re somewhere that prizes appearance over results—which I’ve never seen—then change jobs.

I was promoted from engineer to manager. How did I do it? Started doing more of the work my boss did like client management and fundraising. The organization recognized the more senior contribution and promoted me.
I run one and it works very well, but I fear the rise of DoH and devices just bypassing your network's DNS settings to query the manufacturer's DNS servers. I think Google devices do this.

>This is why the modern left is so awful. You take something that every single place in the world does and describe it as being basically the same as clubbing someone over the head. You refuse to even attempt to engage with the vast majority who think your position is nonsense.

And painting those you call "the left" with such a broad brush, and ignoring that there is great diversity of opinion within that artificial, amorphous group is "basically clubbing someone over the head" and refusing to engage with them, even though study after study shows that (at least within the US, and likely across much of the world) we have much more in common WRT the kind of society we want than we do differences.

Those that create conflict from those differences (as you appear to be trying to do) are, if the goal is to create a better society for everyone rather than just satisfying oneself that he/she is right and "they" are wrong, are taking entirely the wrong tack.

Instead, let's celebrate the stuff we have in common, use those more prevalent commonalities to humanize and bring those of us who disagree about the differences together in a positive mode, rather than a dismissive, adversarial one.
Still outlandish.
Yes exactly, this is what Nassim Taleb writes about in Anti fragile. Bets with a known limited downside and the potential of an almost unlimited upside.
You get that Ilhan Omar, AOC, and Elizabeth Warren don't represent the majority of people left of the American center, right? "Squad" politics get trounced outside of hyper-left noncompetitive districts. There's a pretty significant media bias feeding into this analysis you're providing. If you're going to cite Elizabeth Warren, for instance, you might want to factor in the fact that she quite literally embarrassed herself in the 2020 Democratic primary.

There were mobile phones, the 'in between' BlackBerry, then smartphones.

Those were fundamental market disruptions and it doesn't happen very often.

Some markets do that every 'generation' (gaming consoles) but usually not.

Laptops may have presented such an opportunity, but they were slowly differentiated from the desktop.

So 'new markets happen' and during that time, yes, there's opportunity for new participants ...

But who 'won' the 'new smartphone wars'?

Apple and Google. Literally the two richest companies in tech. (Or close to).

That 'new market opportunity' was championed by none other than the giant gorillas of tech (and business) says something about the nature of power and competition.
