This is a convenient narrative, far more pleasant than the more likely explanation of pervasive racism against Asian Americans by admissions teams.
The guy said they apologised "recently", that's why it's confusing. 20 years ago isn't recently. Nor did they mention World War 2 anywhere, perhaps because it would have made it more obvious that such events had nothing to do with Swedish racism (lol, Sweden, a country famous for its strongly pro-middle-eastern-migration stance, is hardly anyone's top pick for racism).
That's why I never registered my Kindle. It's always in Airplane mode and used as a dumb device connected to my PC through USB anytime I want to download books. Thanks, but no thanks Amazon.

Unfortunately, we live in an era where everything that can connect to the Internet will abuse its intended use at some point.

Not only is that plainly false (these are my sincerely held beliefs), it’s also not in any way a refutation of my claim.

Yes, the ultimate responsibility for the code that my computer executes lies with me. I chose each and every piece of it, much of it with a context of ignorance.

There are press articles about German people sending their parents in other countries[1], including in France's EHPAD [0] (elderly care).

And in France a month in elderly care (EHPAD) is currently around 1800 euro (it depends of the severity of the illnesses).
This is nearly the mid salary in France!

Sketch. At my company we use a mix of PC running Linux and Mac. Being able to run Sketch on Linux would open perspectives for designer types. Although the switch to Linux would meet opposition for other reasons. :)

The home page of Darling specifies "experimental support for running simple" GUI. Does anyone have any idea whether Metal support (which Sketch uses) is out of the question?
So far other answers are limited in what they consider a 'database'. If you need full blown relational db support, you could for example utilize PostgreRest to get db API with minimal effort that you can use as a service. This is not generation time (it could be), the point is to work run time. This is similar to how you would handle comments via for example discuss service. You basically have full SQL capabilities via REST interface - you can choose, order, sort and filter any db column, 100% of CRUD and even have actions via stored procedures. After taking a time to learn it, you can create a production grade service in few hours.

Data onboarding is as trivial as creating a table in a database - it will get automagically exposed as REST endpoint.

Performance is epic (my tests show ~2K req/s).

There are alternative services, such as hasura, you might wanna take a look at.

That's great to hear! I am sure there is a lot of room for improvement and that would go a long way! But it also seems to me that with the language as it is now, the compiler simply doesn't have enough information to provide good error messages. E.g. there is no way to express the idea that something needs to be iterable to the compiler. Or that you expect an argument to be a function of a certain type. I'd love to be wrong on this though. :)
I once walked the footbridge over the hillclimb at Goodwood during the Festival of Speed as a V10 F1 car went underneath. Was something else entirely.

Seeing the musical demos the Renault team used to do was always interesting too - if you haven't heard an F1 car play God Save The Queen [0] it's a great watch (and a reminder about how controllable they are).

Much smaller area (DC is something like 65 square miles) and population, for one.

But beyond that, my thought is that although you probably have fewer super rich people in DC, you also have way fewer poor people. So the average is going to be higher than even SV.

Plus, the types of jobs in DC proper (so we’re not talking about the extended Maryland and Virginia suburbs) are almost entirely professional/government. It’s also a very expensive place to live.
I'm still amazed that they managed to spin self-care into another consumerist rat race.

On Palantir's careers site, they are expanding to Japan and possibly to work with US allies in the future. Using data for national security rather than selling it to advertisers seems nobler to me.

Technology can be used to create either harmony or chaos. Palantir uses this for public protection (harmony) while Google is becoming a spreader for misinformation with ads (chaos)- similar to Facebook.
"Sleep at least n" is too broad of a spec to be useful. It basically guarantees that users of that function will come to expect or rely on behavior that is not covered by that spec, such as expecting that their program will be woken up again in a relatively short period of time rather than next week, or that the program will actually sleep for a non-trivial amount of wall time instead of immediately waking back up. Microsoft deserves at least some of the blame when application programmers come to rely on behavior that isn't officially part of the spec, and Microsoft definitely deserves some of the blame when they change that behavior without even doing those programmers the courtesy of documenting the change.

"Windows 10" is too much of a moving target, and it's about time Microsoft stopped trying to pretend to the public that it's all one operating system. If they're not going to usefully document potentially breaking changes, they should at least do us all the courtesy of bundling these changes up into a release that increments the major version number, and gives us the option of not upgrading for a few years instead of having the software as a service model forced upon us.

(Given what I've written above, it probably won't surprise you to find out I recently spent a decent chunk of time trying to find a workaround for a different undocumented change brought by Windows 10 version 2004).

An analogue version of this experiment was run by Miller and Urey back in 1952. Putting water, methane, ammonia and hydrogen in a bottle and hitting the mixture with energy in the form of artificial lightening, they generated eleven amino acids, as they thought. In fact it was at least twenty including the set that living organisms use. Apparently a lot of other molecules were created 'too complex to resolve'. Similar experiments have formed RNA and DNA.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller%E2%80%93Urey_experiment details the results for these and other analogue experiments.
Yes, I also try to get it directly from the publisher. This has the advantage, that often you get the much better quality PDF version than the Amazon version with garbled math in it. I have bought maybe 5 books for Kindle that I couldn't get any other way. It sucks, because I cannot make these 5 books part of my Calibre library.

> I buy all my books directly from the publisher, drm-free

Most publishers don't do that. Why do you think Amazon has DRM? It's not because they enjoy running DRM schemes, they were among the first to sell straight MP3s even. It's because most publishers love DRM. See also the lawsuit against Internet Archive at the first whiff of creaks in the DRM dam.

I also left academia to work for a company. I agree it's not all black and white. But one important thing to take into account is salary. I earn now twice as much. I'm not materialistic but it makes a big difference. It's something I didn't care about when I chose to work in academia but I'm increasingly worried about future pensions, health system and social safety net in my country. It seems to go downward and my salary as a professor wasn't enough for me to plan adequately.

They have an option to change query result into JSON, not HTML AFAIK (although nothing stops you to do that with strings). You still need to provide UI for json via some javascript frameworks such as Vue.js.
Try Adrian Newey's ghost written memoir "How to Build a Car". It's not a deep dive into technological tidbits, but has got some interesting details about the technology and the development of his cars.

To those not familiar, Adrian Newey, currently at Red Bull Racing, is the most successful race car designer by almost any metric. His first championship winning cars were designed in the 1980s (for American racing series), and he's built championship winning cars for Williams, McLaren and Red Bull.
Standard season of WEC tends to have more overtaking than Le Mans itself. For interest rather than overtaking, WRC is obviously well up there. And if you really want no-holds barred overtaking, anything on the BTCC schedule should be well up there (well, except F4 and oddly, the Porsche Carrera Cup) - Ginetta Juniors is a particular highlight.

Predictive policing is racist by either of your definitions, isn't it? What are you so animated about?

There's a third, simpler definition, for what it's worth: Racism is the (erroneous, falsified) belief that there exist multiple human races/species today. This third definition leads to your first definition, because the false belief in races leads to separating people according to those false beliefs, which leads to groups of people harboring prejudice towards each other, which leads to social constructions which embed those prejudices. It also leads to your second definition, because the false belief in races leads to false emphasis on skin tone, facial features, and other innocuous differences between people.

The point isn't to make "racism" or "racist" bad words. The point is to end racist effects in our society. It's inhumane, wasteful, and at odds with science.
> It's not like they haven't been warned that this would happen.

Not only have they not been warned, services like Audible and Kindle are actively marketed to hide that possibility.

If they really wanted people to understand that these purchases can be revoked at any time, they'd stop using words like "own", "buy", and "my library".

It's fine to hold consumers responsible, but only if companies are transparent. "Buy" is a word with a specific definition in the physical world, and Amazon is abusing that understanding.
It's really unclear why you argue paying for UBI with taxes is monumentally stupid and then go on to state it'd be funded by "high end taxes", clarifying that your preferred type of tax rise is equalising capital gains and income tax (i.e. a tax rise that'd affect huge numbers of people). That's exactly the point: it would be funded by tax rises. The fantasy that it can all be funded by just taxing a few people so that won't matter is risible: many countries (like the UK) already have problems with a tax base that's too narrow, yielding huge unpredictable swings in government income as a small number of rich people either move around or suffer changes in fortunes. The costs of UBI would be staggering, the idea that just a few rich people can be made to shoulder the burden is the same cop-out all socialist schemes always use. It doesn't work, there's a limited amount of blood squeezable from the stone. People leave or find ways to avoid the taxes.

People are more than happy to put additional effort into increasing labor income when already working considerably

And many other people don't give a crap and would happily live off of the level of income they get from benefits, if there weren't an enforcement bureaucracy prodding them to search for a job.

If you're trying to solve the problem of unintelligently set welfare thresholds, I have two questions for you:

1. Why not make that the issue you campaign on? Many people can get behind more intelligent formulas for withdrawing welfare, that's a bipartisan issue. UBI is not the easiest way to fix this.

2. Why do you think the current form of governments, that have totally failed to configure the current welfare system correctly, would set the variables in a UBI system better?

(2) is a huge one. UBI posits a single level of income that's right for everyone, but living costs vary wildly even across jurisdictions. The "universal" aspect of UBI would last about five minutes in the face of Marxist lobbying. Before you know it people with some kinds of lifestyles would be receiving more than others. Otherwise nobody in San Francisco or New York is gonna be living off it, right?

Even if you can stretch the definition of the latter so that's a sensible statement, its certainly less central planning than traditional means- and behaviorally-tested social welfare systems by any sane standard

Behavioural means testing is a tiny part of the administration of contemporary welfare systems, which are in any case dominated by pension provision (i.e. not behaviourally means tested). The vast majority of the central planning derives from:

1. How much do people get?

2. Who is forced to pay for it?

The mechanics of distribution are optimisable like any system of bureaucracy but not at all the primary or most important thing.

I think all book I read in the last three years I bought without drm applied to the files. Most of them have some kind of invisible watermark I couldn't care less about that presumable helps the publisher track down who distributed a book if the user didn't remove it, but it being invisible and probably bit-sized, that's an okay thing in my book (heh).

Now that I think of it, it might have to do with the fact that I read sci-fi almost exclusively, where the authors have some kind of political interest in freedom themselfes and might pick publishers accordingly, but I have no way to back that idea up. The majority of the books I bought are published by Bastei Lübbe (https://www.luebbe.de/), but smaller publishers usually allowed me to do the same.

I don't read book samples because I check the reviews for books I plan on reading on whereever I can find them, but I might start if the reviews start failing me. Might have to figure out where those are possible then :)

Those aren't too hard to comprehend. The one that gets me in Philippines is the idiomatic usage "until now." Example phrase "The bus didn't arrive until now."

"Standard" English: The bus arrived as I was speaking

PH English: The bus has not arrived yet

I believe this is a literal translation from Filipino "hanggang ngayon" where "ngayon" does double duty as both "now" and "currently / presently".

> Can't just take the car out to the track and run it between races when you want.

Yes, this has completely ruined the sport. My life used to revolved around F1 starting from the late 80s (did not miss a single race in 25 years), but two years ago I gave up and have not watched the past two seasons.

With rules preventing engine and car development once Mercedes locked in the advantage, it's game over. Sure F1 has had plenty of dominant teams for short time windows but it was engineering-driven and could (and was) overcome by better engineering by other teams. Now that the advantage is locked in by the rules, there is no hope.

To me there's no entertainment value whatsoever in watching Mercedes lap a second faster than everyone year after year. Let's watch some paint dry instead.

I don't think it is fair to pin this on steam. Plenty of games on steam run without steam, and require no installation - just copy them over to a different PC. They often come with binaries for all supported OSes at once, so your windows install will work on linux too.

It is the game publishers that choose to use steam drm. Often the same publishers publish on GOG without the drm (since gog, admirably, does not offer a drm option to them), but it is not steam that is forcing the drm on you. Your issue is with the game publisher.

> You would be a fool not to listen to these accumulated and learned indicators of crime prevention.

If you are a police officer in a hotspot for crime, you start to believe far more humans are criminals than not.

That isn't an accusation, but it requires effort to realize that you aren't dealing with representative groups of people in your day to day job.

That said, the current tone in that debate is probably too poisoned. There are even accusations that crimes weren't followed up because of the religion of perpetrators in Europe. Or that sentences are significantly lighter if you have an immigrant background. If that is the case, it is certainly not helpful in any way.
Because smaller teams could not afford it. Thus you'd end-up with a handful of teams competing which would probably translate to half the cars you see on track now. Diversity in any sport is what brings in fans and sponsors. Three to four big names competing with each other with no one else on sight could kill F1, or any sport for that matter.
Good read, not very easy on the eyes though.
Effectiveness of Masks
The problem in countries with expensive litigation is that it raises the bar for what a person would be willing to fight for. If I'll end up spending $10000 whether I win or lose I'll think twice before I litigate for a few hundreds or even thousands of dollars worth of ebooks. It also incentivizes companies to do it for as long as they know they'll get away with it.

You're pitting a company with billions to spend on this stuff and all the incentive to keep doing it against a regular consumer with none of the resources or determination. This is where regulation comes in and it should always favor the consumer by default. It's why countries have consumer protection agencies but no company protection agencies.
> But 0.01% of one million is ten thousand

1,000,000 USD * (0.01 / 100) = 100 USD, not 10,000 USD. The company would have to be worth 100M USD for 0.01% to be worth 10,000 USD.

Do you think the certified editions are fundamentally different from the normal ones? Hint: they aren't. Certified means that these are the exact revisions they handed in for certifications. It's just not realistically possible to get full certification for every release in a fast cycle because the time and effort needed is too high. But they still take on full responsibility for each and every patch going into the codebase.
Unfortunately, it will take legislation to forbid them from stating or suggesting that you are actually purchasing digital goods.

We should get a law that forbids any SaaS or media-rental company from ever using "purchase" in their advertising and operation. It could be the Interned Digital Goods Advertisement Fraud Act, or IDGAF act - as in "I don't give a f__k what you say; if I can't keep them forever and copy them around, those ain't 'goods' I'm buying, it's a rental service".
Same thing that stops them breaking any of the other rules I guess. Fines, race bans, points deductions etc. if it's found out.
