There are a multitude of restaurants. I am personally familiar with many of them, some with websites, others without. That's not the situation I'm writing about.

If I am considering patronizing an unfamiliar restaurant, and my only source of information about it is some untrustworthy third party platform, I'm moving on. Like I said, many restaurants exist, I'm losing nothing by going somewhere trustworthy.

And again, I cannot emphasize this enough: I do not want some third party asserting itself into my relationship with the restaurant.
He gave a practical reason. Take a second to introspect if your moral outrage might be envy in disguise. It is very easy to rationalize these things and dress them up nicer than they really are.
XTX Markets uses Go, I think.
there’s definitely pros and cons for both, depending on what you’re trying to do
Tinder might be a lot of fun for college kids on campus or spring break, because the pool is fairy homogenous and almost everyone will be within walking distance leading to instant dates. For adults looking for something substantial in a broader area it's hot garbage. There's also a VERY specific skill set to Tinder you'll have to develop; you can be attractive, do well on other online dating sites and be able to meet women at parties easily enough and still fail hard.
I'd take it with a pinch of salt if it's in the Express. Doesn't even make good toilet paper.
Less alcohol consumption is the main reason why young people are having less sex
I don’t think this is the case. Imho, it’s a matter of EVs requiring fewer moving parts and much less labor for manufacturing and ongoing maintenance, which is going to cannibalize existing organizations, supply chains, labor arrangements, etc (not to mention related job losses in petroleum supply chains as demand for vehicles wanes). This, in turn, will cause government to have to do “real work” to manage the transition (so that you can attrition citizens out at a rate where you’re balancing cost to the nation against quality of life for those who don’t have a career path anymore). Very similar to the coal industry phasing out.

It’s going to be beautiful for the planet and humanity, but devastating to entrenched interests.
The point of vesting is to exchange shares for value as the value in the form of work is provided over a period of time.

If some of the value you provided was in the form of cash then the corresponding shares should be yours the moment you transferred the money.

Please note that I’ve not actually implemented this myself. In my company we just split all the shares evenly on day one with no vesting schedule.

It’s been kind of interesting because no one has any real authority over the others and the few major disagreements we’ve had were solved by whoever was quickest in performing a fait accompli. This has resulted in occasional shouting and aggressive behaviour.
Mulesoft is the other recent huge acquisition. While the smaller but still decent sized Quip acquisition is a big part of this acquisition.

One of the Quip founders is President and COO of SF too.
I wish I could do that with web apps too... AKA Google Search... year-2005 would be nice
Exactly what I thought. He's thinking about the internet of the old. People have different expectations today. They expect reposts, shares, comments etc. He'd need a Frontpage that can trivially build servers and services. You can live without these, but in my opinion people would not want to be perceived as an antisocial weirdos. Soon they will expect neural network powered features like in their mobile apps.
As I understand it (and I hasten to say that I have no first-person exposure), there are at least a dozen official languages in India. One reason for the dominance of English is that speakers of languages other than Hindi resent what would otherwise be the dominance of Hindi. English is perceived as better because it's no one's first language, rather than the first language of a plurality.
If it is what I'm thinking of, I think they were hiring C++ programmers a few years ago.
Google's internal tooling, and by extension the developers who blog incessantly about it after doing a brief stint there are highly overrated.
There are _plenty_ of places in engineering where defects / quality / etc are lesser concerns, just like there are places in software development where they're a major concern. There's also a _lot_ more call for quality up high (ie, regulations) for the various engineering disciplines.

I would expect that there are plenty of engineers that look at faults in the systems they're working on and say, "management doesn't care, not my problem".
I would argue it goes beyond "drugs are evil" for many people and is more of a vestige of the country's backwards puritanical past. It has little to do with medicine and is more closely related to the idea that pleasure is wrong and pulls one away from devotion to the church, tithing, etc. If presented with a hypothetical recreational drug with no side effects, people with this perspective will immediately say it should be banned, or that taking it would be morally wrong. As long as people can derive enjoyment, even as a side effect, they will oppose. This is the ideological appeal used by them pharma industry to, for example, highly process medicinal Marijuana products to ensure no one might inadvertently enjoy them.
I don't have an SUV but I ride a motorcycle and it's true that being able to see over other vehicles is pretty nice, I feel oddly boxed in when I'm driving a car. But of course it's just an arms race at this point, if everybody has an SUV then the same problem occurs.

That being said, driving a small "urban" car in many european cities can be challenging (and parking even more so), I can't imagine that having a big SUV would be more pleasant overall if you live in a city.
Tag: Controversial comment.
I am glad for social platforms. They are bottomless pit. In my simple logic when something has low entry barrier and high friction the efficiency of information flow is lowered and result is meaningless noise. People will start personal blogs again for logical reasons. Give it time.
Yup. It's well known what Apple's hardware strategy is.

They want each and every device do as much as it can, before moving up the chain.

The watch does everything you need it to do before you move to an iPhone. The iPhone does what you need it to do before moving to a iPad.

For most people the iPad does everything they need so there's no reason to move to a Macbook.

Starting out with a dumb UI shouldn't be a problem as long as you are free to progress to greener pastures. It shouldn't be that you have to learn how to take apart a type writer before you can write a book, the technology doesn't require it.

A clear road beyond will also take down the walls around the silos since effort to control the user would come at a price (force them off the platform(s) faster)

We could perhaps start by separating the API from presentation? Have A scalable chunk of FOSS at first hosted by a megacorp but easily moved some place else and A presentation platform where people build their gui that is as easily moved.

(Just thinking out loud, didn't put much thought in it.)

edit: your own domain should be an obvious ingredient. Which seems to suggest that domains should be free?
> gets me thinking — this is totally doable for open source code. someone just needs to build some giant indexes across git repos + package repos (maven/npm/pip/etc)...

Sounds a lot like sourcegraph.
I disagree with two of Safires points:

There is nothing wrong with splitting an infinitive. Shakespeare does it and Star Trek does it.

Passive voice is fine. Sure it can be used to make the text impersonal and hide responsibility. But is can also be used to make the text clearer and to emphasize what is important. Use it as appropriate.
From a consumer perspective, the big difference is that back then, the content on MySpace, LiveJournal, Blogger, etc. was discoverable. It could be found entering relevant search terms into Google or another secarch engine and the more useful content was self-curated by the creator(s) via prominent internal links, WordPress pages, stickied posts on forums and the sites themselves often had useful site-specific searches.

The two big problems with modern social media silos is that

1. content is ephemeral and that older content is not easy – or possible – to find.

2. they optimise for content that will push emotional buttons to drive “engagement” so they can sell viewers to advertisers

MySpace might have been a visual mess but I found it useful for finding out about a band or musician and listening to sample music (all without having to create an account on the platform). I came across all sorts of interesting niche content and communities on blogs, LiveJournal and web forums. These sites were all a lot more open; in most cases, you could easily view the content without having to have an account. If you liked a community and wanted to contribute you could create an account without having to worry about the site owners tracking you across the Internet.
>Where are the visible proofs of love?

Physiological changes in the body/brain consistently assosiated with said self-reported state.

>Of mathematical formulas?

We can reproduce most of their results with physical objects (adding 1 and 1 rocks makes 2 rocks, the shortest line between two points we can draw with less ink on a piece of paper is the straight line, in a sphere it's the geodesic and it indeed saves planes gas, and so on...)\

>Of radio waves?

Err, plenty of visible proofs of radio waves. You can very easily scan a room with a portable scanner, not to mention we hear the sound they carry.

>Where is the tangible visible obvious proof that the earth is not flat?

Photographs from space?

>Where is the tangible proof that your life has any future that makes any sense for you to get up in the morning and do any work?

There's none, since that doesn't exist.
I completely understand this, but your RAM and your use for it is nothing like the 40% of cars sold in Europe (apart from the 'just throw it in' perhaps but that goes for other types as well).

I wonder why that person won't switch to nginx, apache or something else completely, if caddy doesn't work for them.

Yeah. That's why I don't use them. I am sick to death of WordPress, but it does allow me to not spend days on end, playing with my site.
Haha that's totally a fair feedback, I know what you mean about those people who e.g. make more money teaching you to "be an entrepreneur" than ever doing it themselves.

If you're wondering, the community is a private forum where you can get advice from experienced bloggers, feedback on your articles, and attend workshops and meetups.

No one in there is selling stuff to each other. Actually you may end up getting access to other people's stuff for free exchange for thoughtful feedback :)

Thanks for taking a look and reading, I appreciate it!

As I shared in the breakdown, what your impression is could be why most people who join have done my newsletter first.

Maybe that's something for me to think about, how to frame it for people who haven't read my newsletter or haven't been following me on Twitter for a while.
I drive one, in the Netherlands, where the climate and road conditions are such that those are not a factor at all. The only reason I drive it is because it's so comfortable to sit higher up, and to have a better view of the road that way. It's comfortable to get in and out of (I'm 40 years old, work out several times a week, no mobility issues whatsoever - I still find it more comfortable). This is the second SUV I have, before that I had a tiny car and thought the same as you do, it was only once I started driving one that I started to see why people like them.

I don't think for transitioning to EV the form factor will be the problem. BMW will start delivering the first EV versions of my current car (X3) next year. For me, charging it where I live (city center) is the problem. Every time I see my neighbour roll his extension cord across the sidewalk I think 'no way I'm going to do that'.

What functionality is missing, in your mind, from Sqaurespace, Webflow, and Wix in order to classify them as UI page creators?
Finding purpose when your product isn't literally saving lives
I have to disagree (obviously).

Users are not trapped in with NotePlan. If your are not satisfied with the service, you can cancel, so my incentive is to retain you on the grounds of providing good software. And NotePlan is designed in a future-proof way. Your notes are saved as plain text files, you can open them even with TextEdit.

Besides the full-time development of the app, you also get quick, direct support. Try that with most one-time payment software. I sit down and reply to emails every day for 2-3 hours.

Further, your suggested model is not possible with the AppStore. Updates go through without license checks.
It's a pretty specific style for writing on the web, where you assume that users are initially scanning the page rather than focusing on the text. On the web, users have been trained to do this because websites are designed differently from books. Body text segments will be split up by ads, there's a sidebar with popular articles, etc.

In this medium, a long paragraph of text may look less scannable to a reader, especially if they are on a mobile device. Hence the single setence paragraphs.

I don't prefer this style of writing either. I save to Pocket and read offline, so a standard essay-style layout works fine for me.
"Degenerated" carries a connotation of "becoming inferior." It's not at all clear that a relative lack of irregularities makes a language inferior. One might even say that it makes the language superior, at least in the sense that it's easier to acquire as a second language. (First language learners don't seem to have that much of a problem with irregularities, although the gradual loss of irregular forms probably means that the problem for first language learners is not null.)
Haven’t seen it mentioned. People are talking about Quip being a large part of the synergy for this deal. One of the founders of Quip was co creator of Google Maps, co-made FriendFeed, was an early CTO of Facebook, and is now President and COO of Salesforce.

Presumably he is another big force in SF outside Benioff and would love Quip to get the addition of Slack to really give it a chance to take off.
Yeah, it was there in Windows XP too. Though TBH this assumes an application uses the native dialog box for messages and many applications make their own. For example Delphi (at least the older ones) applications do not seem to support it. However some applications may implement it themselves (e.g. Lazarus does support it but it uses its own formatting).
The lie was cheating on their emissions test that was estimated to haves 5000 premature deaths a year. Of course, the EU hegemon would rather enforce vague definitions of "competition" on American tech companies. Renault, which cheated on emissions got a $5 billion bailout instead.
Not trying to derail from the quality of posts, but I think this panel[0] makes a valid point in this context.

They have the bandwidth for some pretty big firmware/OS updates, though. This would be a fraction of that size. They download blacklists already for their inbuilt AV. Also if they use something like Git then only the changes will be downloaded rather than the entire CRL.

I can’t help but feel that the issue is something else, not bandwidth.
I think in your rage against nodejs and/or Mozilla, you forget the target audience of this tool. The tool is written and provided for and by web developers who write browser extensions. The extensions themselves are written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript and the web developers who do write extensions, unless they are first time web developers, for most parts have nodejs already installed on their machine. For them, installing and using web-ext is as easy as it is for you to pull down a binary and putting in $PATH, or installing a tool via your package manager.

I maybe wouldn't have written web-ext in js with nodejs myself, but I do understand why others would make the choice to do so.

Although I agree that the whole nodejs/npm ecosystem is just a insecure clusterfuck waiting to be properly exploited at this point. About the Mozilla objectives, I don't think they even know them themselves at this point, even less so around 2015 when this tool first appeared.

Most of the retail brokrages (except maybe a few big ones) play a strategy of A/B book. Most customers are in book A which is essentially a casino (bet against the maker), and if someone is too good they just send him to book B to play against the market.
"Most modern English speakers can't understand Shakespeare properly." Wherefore thinkest thou that? Canst not understand the King's language?
I would think it's less about ethics and more about understanding consequences; being able to reason about what happens based on the choices made while implementing something.
So basically we need a frontpage style static CMS (perhaps something like GUI around gatsby) that publishes to one of a bunch of providers that have APIs, such as DigitalOcean.

The project could be backed up somewhere transparently, but the key thing would be that it wouldn't be tied to any one provider. If DO were to delete your content, you could just pick a different one.
The point isn't that bridges never fall down. The point is that engineers who build bridges know that it's their responsibility to do everything in their power to make sure it doesn't, even if no-one else around them seems to care about that, or specifically asked for it. That they should walk away from a project rather than sign off on one where they will not have the resources or support to do a competent job.

That said, all bridges have design specifications and limits. If someone drives a convoy of trucks carrying gold bullion over a bridge and exceeds its design max weight by a factor of 10, and it doesn't hold up, that's not the engineer's fault. If a bridge is designed for a geologically active area and is designed to withstand a quake 10x more powerful than the strongest that's ever been recorded in the area, or is predicted by seismologists, and the area gets hit by a 100x quake, that's not the engineer's fault.

And if a bridge designed to last say, 5 years, is neither re-certified for use, or just closed, when its intended lifespan is up then that's not the engineer's fault either.

But the engineer is responsible for finding out what the likely max load of a bridge will be, or how powerful the strongest quake will be, or how long its intended lifespan is - and for adding in safety margins on top of that. They can't just assume that any new bridge will only be needed for 5 years, just because that no-one told them that it will be needed for longer, and then claim "well, it was only temporary" afterwards.
> - ZeroSSL does not have rate limits and is also publicly trusted. And yes, it is free to use it with ACME.

Hey, where on the site is that said?

I'd like to consider that for work purposes, but I can't find the "we don't rate limit" writing anywhere.
Every study that looks at total carbon emissions for a vehicle's lifespan, including manufacturing batteries for EVs and drilling/transporting the oil for ICE (whether gas or diesel) has EV coming out on top. The first year the ICE wins quite handily, but the EV chips away over time and after 3-4 years (depending on the local grid and driving habits) is a net carbon reduction.

Plus the ICE vehicle is the cleanest it will ever be on delivery day. Even with modern catalytic converters and engine management ICE vehicles will start to use more fuel and emit more particulates over its lifespan. EVs get cleaner as the green decarbonizes.

Then take into account that ICE worst case scenario for carbon emissions is around town, stop and go traffic, which is what most passenger cars spend their lives doing. It also happens to be the EV best case, since region braking makes the most out of the available energy.
The only effective way to gauge the effectiveness of running an ad campaign on a platform is to have three identical products marketed under different names, each of equal repute then run ads for one on the platform you want t o gauge, run ads for the second on a competing ad platform, and finally a control product which has no ads run on any platform. Believe it or not but it’s simple tests like these that keep us from slipping back into the dark ages.
Some aren't even about greenwashing, they're actually about increasing performance; I'd say that's worse from an environmental point of view.
>Proving actual instances of harm suffered from the dissemination of unfavourable statistics is also going to be tricky (even though there are undoubtedly players that have lost out).

All you would need is one club saying they searched the data for say "any player over six foot" and one player who fit the search term but the data was inaccurate.
Agreed. That would be the biggest. Would be insane and who knows what that could have led to for Zoom being the newest big tech company.

Before I thought Perhaps Atlassian and Slack would merge in a mostly stock deal. Was looking at their recent partnerships. Atlasssian’s market cap is 3x bigger. Only big enough if both were on board.
You said the magic word: "Subscribers", i.e. people who are paying for content. LRB's reputation and audience is such that it does not need to obsess about SEO or social shares attracting the widest possible audience to show ads to.

As a result, they can stick to providing long-form writing instead of chasing whatever the new "maximize engagement/conversions" trick is.
I've seen lots of M1 benchmarks, but has anyone done a side by side comparison of what it is like to actually get work done on one?

Take a conventional dockerized local dev environment and just start building stuff. How much time do you spend working around M1 arch issues versus building your app?

This is the key factor that is keeping me from being an early adopter. I don't get paid to figure out how to work on a new chip architecture, in fact I pay a lot of money to not have to think about those problems at all.
The idea that immigration is declining due to social and political issues lacks perspective.

Despite all the rhetoric, the US is high among the most equitable, least racist, safest and politically free countries in the world.

If immigration regulation were relaxed, there would be a flood of well-educated people from China, India and many other nations.

On the other hand, immigrants from western Europe don't have much to gain from moving the the US. They basically would be trading higher salaries for higher expenses.
I'm surprised the article didn't mention 'Central Governor Theory'¹ which proposes that exercise fatigue is not a physical sensation but more like an 'emotion' created by the brain to prevent over-exertion.
