There's more things banned. I cannot put an ad on TV that all gay people or Christians should be fired and shunned from society, even though that's not inciting violence.

My point was more that there's limits to free speech when it's harmful as a response to someone who said that everything should always be allowed everywhere.

You can debate whether that should include Covid misinformation and to what extent, but I would say unsubstantiated claims like vaccines will make you infertile are harmful to public health and are definitely candidates.
> Show people the videos they have subscribed or searched for, and that's it.

I dunno, there's value in suggesting related content. If I subscribe to a woodworking channel, and Youtube suggests other woodworking content... that doesn't seem like a problem.
So if I'm reading this right, the author feels that the reason these companies are so valuable is because it destroys the free market one customer at a time, selling lock ins that would crush a normal business to escape, and that will deliver long term value as a result of said destruction.

I guess that makes sense.

CVE 2020-16977: VS Code Python Extension Remote Code Execution
>Web browsers are the culprit behind 70% of endpoint compromises

This seemed like a pretty remarkable statistic to open with (where are the Office macros? If I download a shady exe or vbs with the browser and then run it, is the browser the "culprit"?), so I googled it and found that a previous Cloudflare post [1] cites this Gartner report [2] for that statistic. Unfortunately, there is no methodology to arrive at that number: it's merely listed as an assumption.

Payment platform position looks good for my experience. Sent you LI request.
I'm not sure if it was ever explicitly stated by the writers, but IIRC, Russ put "radio on the internet," while Mark Cuban first hit it big with broadcast.com.

I believe they based him off of Mark's big personality too, mocking things like "three commas" and investing in a bunch of stinkers over the last 20 years.
in my case, this upvote is not an endorsement of the story (because it needs to be investigated given the timing), but a rebuke of the selective silencing of stories released by, and deplatforming of, recognized news organizations that don’t support the candidates the tech platforms prefer.
Brookings seems to be advocating funding open source IT projects that already exist, for example a big ($10m+) check to the Apache Foundation. Apache already has the compliance competency.

It may be more efficient to use existing grant writing for universities. The Apache Foundation can redistribute the money it can’t hire programmers competently the way a university research department can. However it would be bigger impact to write smaller checks for many tools.

The real problem is that single purpose / single feature IT software tends to be the best at what it does but is the hardest to fund this way.

The compromise will probably be funding people to write and evangelize standards. This is too bad, because people who apply for grants aren’t Google, they aren’t standardizing an existing, widely deployed real piece of successful engineering without any economics brakes. They’re people writing things like SOC 2 or ISO 27000xxx that arguably do not provide any meaningful value at all - standards that could vanish overnight and absolutely nothing about a single person’s daily life would change at all.

18F or whatever publishes a lot of stuff like this. Markdown policy documents. I think it’s profoundly wasteful, it is taking talented people’s intellectual energy and diverting it to something that not only hardly anyone will use, but perpetuates the worst aspects of government - the belief that text and bureaucracy and the way lawyers do things is intrinsically valuable, as opposed to something normal people routinely completely and utterly ignore.

This! It's like "wading" through the code, being able to jump forth and back and setting remarks.

I know we've debated this point before, but as I don't recall seeing this particular list from you before, I just wanted to point out that Haiku already has (2), (6), and (7), the technical capability for (1) though it is not exposed to the GUI, about half of (4) though there is also no GUI for it (there is a command line tool for it however), and future plans for something like (3) and (5). :)

Russ also made his money putting radio on the internet.
That's the worst way to come at the question, because then you're judging why a company does two things and you're dangerously close to overregulating. For decades GE made light bulbs, aircraft engines, washing machines, and nuclear reactors, and there was nothing wrong with it. Why can't Google make a search engine, and an office suite?

My question here was how would would we benefit from the breakup? And how would some products which are dependent on he search revenue survive? At least they sell GSuite so it's an actual competitor to Office.Chrome is just to get more people using a browser that makes more web experiences better so they'll use more Google products.
I won't accidentally end up on some outrage tabloid news site if I start at AP News and start clicking articles. There is nothing wrong with outrage tabloid news existing, but it shouldn't be something that I accidentally happen upon while browsing normal news. YouTube will just send you to extremist crap if you keep watching suggested videos long enough.
1. The character made money selling "Radio on the Internet" -- Mark Cuban sold Broadcast.com to Yahoo for $5.7B in 1999.

2. The character recounts popping a boner when he saw his net worth cross 1B. There's some old Cuban video about watching his stock price while sitting in his boxers.

3. There's a bit in the show about the character showing both rows of teeth when he smiles. Cuban smiles like that.

The fact that they offer no service, no communication, so resolutions

The irony is that one of the ways these big ad tech companies promoted themselves as being better than traditional advertising was because they were supposed to be so transparent compared to the old model where you had to go through an ad salesman and then measure your results in sales.

At least when you have an ad salesman, you have someone to complain to. And their boss, if need be.
Disagree, and I used to run a company that did FDM printing. If you look at this design it's packed with tons of overhangs regardless of printing orientation, and a particularly nasty undercut ending in a sharp point (see right side view). This is actually a great example of where FDM is a bad solution and the part should be redesigned (ex. split it into multiple pieces or find a way to re-engineer it so it can be printed in some good orientation) or you should pick a different method. Yes, you could FDM print this, but the end quality would be garbage, the tolerances would be poor, and you'd end up with a lot of support material cleanup and probably failed/unacceptable prints.
I'm confused, would you be making a pretty good salary or would you be making more money flipping burgers?
>This has nothing to do with relevance and everything to do with convenience. I’ve said it before and will adamantly say it again: it is prima facie wrong that one of the rules of the App Store is that an app is not allowed to explain the rules of the App Store.

Very damning when it's phrased like that.
Wow, that story made me more angry than it should have. Why the heck should Apple be allowed to police your own app's changelog?

"Because they can" is probably the reason.
I've been keeping notes on all the browser-based audio playgrounds I come across, should probably make a review of them all at some point. In the meantime here's the list: Estuary, Zupiter, Synthesine, Gibber, Slang, Beepbox... (missing some since my notes are disorganized)

They range from unfinished toys to epic environments. Also my project AudioMasher is supposed to be the latter. This seems to do one thing well (FM synthesis for effects) which is probably a much better idea!
What evidence do you seek?

It is obvious to me that the way you interact with people face-to-face is different from the way you would do with online chat.
I'm surprised Honey hasn't come up in here. They seem to be trying pretty aggressively to be the defacto tool for this sort of thing. I also find it really funny that their premium offering is called "Honey Gold." Do an image search for that ;).
Sounds like their solution is approach #1 and not a new #3.
I would vote yes if they Excluded location data. The language of the propositions doesn’t do that. This suggests to me that it’s as much a Silicon Valley style big data-play as a simple “right to repair” issue, which I would happily support
It's still very new and a very small team, i would suggest reaching out and maybe asking them to add that to the website, seems you summed it up perfectly!
> While some FOSS contributors are paid by their employer to contribute, most contributions to FOSS are made without direct compensation. Therefore, another option is to provide tax credits to the people who volunteer their free time to help create and maintain FOSS. A bill for such a credit has been introduced in the New York State Assembly every legislative session since 2009 but has never made it out of committee. If passed, this bill would provide a $200 tax credit for expenses related to FOSS development, which would help incentivize more individuals to contribute, likely leading to spillover benefits for the state of New York similar to those from the French procurement regulation.

It's like Hacktoberfest, but instead of a free t-shirt it's $200.00 off your tax bill. What could possibly go wrong?
Now we also have radar and hd cameras, so hopefully this time we'll get to the bottom of this.
Pachyderm and the Power of GitHub Actions: MLOps Meets DevOps
The article quotes Ben Thompson (yes, from Stratechery) to explain why unprofitable stocks are performing well. It is basically what you might expect (they are re-investing profits in growth).

For those who wonder how you tell the good unprofitable companies from the bad unprofitable companies: typically you look at gross margins -- or unit economics. This is a little complicated to estimate for any sticky subscription company -- like a SaaS company -- you need to estimate the LTV and discount down to get the true gross margins.

Thompson's point is that a sticky subscription company can have enormous LTV.
They make too much money on the back and forth "next big thing" to stop doing it. Market analysts sell them on the idea that the next big thing might be a huge competitive advantage and a disruptive technology, so the "smart" companies embrace it.

There's also a lack of knowledge in present corporate management (at least in the US) generally speaking where the higher ups will reward apparent progress or activity without considering whether that activity is positive or negative long term. All that matters is that managers appear to be doing something, and when the sales people hand them a full narrative explaining how the next big thing will benefit their company, they accept it because they literally don't have to think or answer any of the hard questions to appear to be doing something useful/positive for their company.

It's sad, but I have hopes that as the old generation ages out of control of corporations that newer, smarter ones will form.
For sure it's a hard problem, but in this context on HN, it doesn't come up in many cases. When it does, how we handle it is by being flexible and personally available about unbanning. That's a luxury afforded by smallness.

In the more common case, though, it's clear enough who's doing it to take action. And you'd be surprised how often we get explicit confirmation of what happened. Sometimes a site owner will even passionately profess innocence and then sheepishly come back later with "I'm so sorry, you were right, it turns out my marketing-person/friend/teammate did it."
Companies only want regulation when it boxes out competitors.
I would love to see a chart showing number of applications they receive before this announcement and after. I'm guessing they gonna be swamped with resumes today.

It was clear that it's going to be a domino effect. Each time another tech company moves to permanent WFH it puts more pressure on other companies to do the same. They wouldn't be able to compete for talent otherwise. FANNG can still compete without moving to permanent WFH because of their reputation, salary and benefits, and the fact they have offices everywhere. But most companies cannot.

Is it really your opinion that the richest and most powerful industry in the world has no ability to defend itself? And that we need to fight back and encourage monopoly and stifle competition?

And sorry, they are still not conflatable - you’re still trying to create a false equivalence. They are not the same thing, the desire here to misrepresent facts to fit into a narrative is intellectually dishonest.
haha yes.
Can you elaborate on how that is substantially different from my statement?
The goal of ReactOS is the binary compatibility not just with application programs but also with Windows device drivers.
Waypoint: Build, deploy, and release applications across any platform
Maybe that's because you're thinking of apps that actually benefit from native APIs. There are other types of apps that are mostly interfaces to remote data primarily generated by other people.

The only native capability that many apps need is push notifications (something like a banking app for instance). And that's basically a random restriction imposed by Apple to protect their business interests.
The stock market is not rational, and it never has been, and 2020 is completely unprecedented with many overriding factors.

Interest rates have fallen so the equities market is the only place for returns. Meanwhile the Fed has promised to backstop and keep spending for years if necessary. Add in record amounts of trading from retail investors to institutional funds riding the volatility craze, especially the options market which has outpaced the underlying stock in for several companies, and there's an incredible amount of support for this bubble.
Nigeria is on the come up. I love it...
To be fair I'd imagine the people writing the theming support probably aren't the same people writing the compatibility layers for the OS.

Wholeheartedly agreed and it's also why I have so much respect for Microsoft and the backwards compatibility they've achieved in Windows.
It's true, speaking from the current state of the 3D printing world. However...

As the technology matures I personally believe it will be a net positive effect. We will save on shipping, new materials will be more environmentally friendly, new printing methods will allow better control over colors, resolution, texture and multi-material printing. Plastic is not necessarily the only material - composites, ceramics, metal will become more available. 3D printing can likely also increase the reuse of products by increasing reparability.

Perhaps it will not be in the current form of 3D-printing. I imagine specialty or high end printing will be from local printing shops, like high end printing products are today.
> I cannot put an ad on TV that all gay people or Christians should be fired and shunned from society

You absolutely can both legally, and practically at least the first and probably the second. Heck, the former has been part of the main editorial content on some TV outlets, not just advertising.

Well companies are actually trying to do salary cuts instead.
See, the market is itself a commons, which we are obligated to destroy in our search for profit and pure, unadulterated freedom. (but mostly profit.)
We cannot expect any actor (human or otherwise) to act against their own best interest. Google/Youtube, an entity with incentives, will act to maximize it's share of your time spent with them - it cannot function any other way, lest a competitor does that job better and they are destroyed/bought. We can wish for the underlying dynamics to be different, but they are what they are. All of society is currently lost in hopeless battles, fighting the "tides" - in this case underlying incentive structures.

You can wish for legislation to save you from your outrage - to shatter these companies into little pieces. But legislation doesn't change underlying incentives. In fact, legislation nearly universally distorts incentives further from what you wish them to be. For example, in this case, fear of legislative action against "Big Tech" having too much power/influence/misinformation-potential, is likely the underlying cause for their inclination toward censorship.

The classic Walmart South Park episode is a nice visual syllogism for this idea.

I offer no solutions at the level of "society", but at the individual level I offer you to consider that "outrage" is a waste of your time and your emotion. Easier said than done, I know.
Anything with no record has the potential to be the next FANG. It's far clearer for a company that's existed for awhile, what its potential might be. And that insane growth will only be found early on, typically during a time when the company isn't profitable.
Except the hardest hit don't seem to be the overpriced schools, but rather your run of the mill community college that probably did a better job in terms of bang for buck than most big elite research universities that offer undergrad degrees.
> collaborative work in "studios", basically reimagining the offices into collaborative/convening spaces that you go into from ~once/week to once a quarter depending on team/role.

Doesn't this also have the problem with neither flexibility nor community, especially for once a quarter? More importantly, this means that people now have to maintain their own home offices but still have to live close to a big city and pay the stupidly high costs associated with that.
USA is all in, expect military to prevent the pop
I thought the same, but the wife bought one for me for Christmas. After initially printing things I found on thingiverse, such as cell phone holders, I started learning to make my own models (mostly from OpenScad). And that opened up the true utility of 3D printers -- making things that don't exist (that I can't buy).

Recent example -- I got a Husky work table with a router plate insert (to make it a router table). I have an old Craftsman router. No one makes router table plates that have holes drilled for this model router. So I modeled and printed an adapter plate to screw onto the router, with threaded holes matching holes on the table's insert plate.

A previous example, I needed a plastic ring to hold magnets for a cadence sensor for my E-Bike kit. The kit came with a magnet ring for a mountain bike, but I have a road bike. Couldn't find anything suitable online for this particular bicycle. A couple hours of modeling, and 3 hours of printing later, I had the part that I needed.

As for plastic waste -- it isn't as much as you think. The slicing software (which converts a model file into gcode) lets you put in a fill percentage. Default is 15%, and upping it to 35% makes a fairly strong part. It uses a honeycomb fill pattern, which is strong yet uses minimal material. I'm still on my first two 1kg spools of material (and the slow speed of creating something means that you don't go through that much filament that fast).

Another project was making small clips that I used to mount a piece of plexiglass (from a big box store) over the TV, as protection from the grandkid that we are raising (it is surprising how delicate modern TVs are).

So in short, 3D printers are really good for making small parts that you need for various household projects or hobbies, and a $20 spool of filament lasts a long time. And they get really useful when you design your own "things" to print.
for whatever it's worth, I find dev.to as the better alternative to medium (at least for technical subjects)
It's the nozzle. Let's suppose you really wanted to design your own nozzle... you could use something like MUMPS, which is $5,800 for 15 dice, plus 100 for each additional. You have to wrestle together 15 people to pay 400 bucks (or 20 to pay 300, and so forth) for a printhead that probably won't work. Figure it'll take several iterations and everyone needs to be in for thousands and thousands of dollars.

It's doable but only among a group of very wealthy hobbyists.

People with this kinda money typically gravitate towards high vacuum projects and microwave electronics
That reminds me of the Overton Window:

But by definition if you invest profits forever you never make any; maybe if you wait long enough you own the entire market and can charge whatever you like then. Is that really actionable though? One stumble and your stock is almost worthless.
One of the problems is that most of what people call ‘bugs’ or relevant ‘information’ about Apple is actually false.

It’s easy to see the scenario in which developers simply blame a large proportion of the bugs in their own apps on Apple.

But - I agree this is a serious problem. There does need to be a way for real platform bugs and other issues to be discussed in public.
A few years ago the disks all crashed, did you run your own hardware? I can't remember the details. Have you switched to cloud hosting?
I've always had some admiration for ReactOS, but I also find it a bit baffling. It's been in development for so long, and it doesn't appear to be particularly stable. Granted, it's a difficult project, but I also struggle to see a valid use case for it. Why would I want to use this when I can use WINE or a virtual machine? And if it's aiming to emulate windows xp, surely this use-case gets less and less relevant over time?

Then again, the fact that it exists just makes me feel good in ways I don't completely understand.
Thanks, that exactly answered my questions! This sounds like it has huge potential, and I think Cloudflare has the maturity to pull it off, fingers crossed
I'm not a doctor, there is an enzyme, bromelain (from pineapple seeds) which may help.. kind of making the phlegm more fluid.

But then, the phlegm could be a defense (mis)reaction to pollution or irritation by stuff you have accumulated in your sinuses - you may try to wash it (saline) and kill it (all bacteria whatever in layers, deep deep in, since years may be still there - kind of your suspended medical history).
