Originally, an "internet" was a network which linked together other smaller networks, for example two university campuses which each had their own, incompatible, in-campus networking technologies. You might have University U1 running IBM and University U2 running Decnet. IP protocols had nothing to do with it.

From there, we got the later backformation "intranet" for a network within an organisation.

When the TCP/IP suite became ubiquitous, some people concluded the distinction between "the" Internet, as defined by the root DNS servers, and "the internet" was superfluous, as there was essentially only one internet. There are no doubt internets running factories that are not "the internet" but for practical purposes the term is not ambiguous, as one would normally mention if such a network was disconnected.

The article is wrong in its definition of lower-case "internet" as an instance of any network running the IP stack.

For what it’s worth, the most recent Australian government style guide changed "the Internet" to "the internet". (But it’s not actually published by the government, and this edition has been controversial for other reasons.) I might personally use the upper case version if I thought there might be some ambiguity in the context, which would be almost never.
You can go up or down (probably sideways if you can account for gravity, eg. through rotary motion). Up is more common since you only need significant equipment on one side and access requirements mean that keeping the bulk of it 'down' is easier. No polishing is necessary. However, I recall reading that some polymers can be polished if you want, but IIRC it depends heavily on the polymer, the abrasive, intermediate fluids in use and result desired. Re: Source, I raided libgen for thermoforming over the last few months, visited about 10 equipment factories and studied their mechanisms and control systems, but actually learned this tidbit from 1000 Australian Inventions or some such book which I bought for my daughter before our family returned to China... to keep inventing ;)

The biggest flaw with the complaint seems to be the claim that Apple locked down the iPhone as a response to the success of Cydia.

That seems hard to rationalize, given that the iPhone was already locked down before Cydia, and Cydia could only be installed by exploiting a security vulnerability.

It’s true that Apple made jailbreaking harder by fixing vulnerabilities, but you’d expect them to do that for security reasons.

If the iPhone had supported the installation of 3rd party stores, and then Apple had withdrawn this support after launching their own, I think the case would be stronger.
Have you ever tried f.lux or similar programs? I wonder if those have about the same effect as the glasses.

I can see both sides.

I like that apps have to pass review before being allowed on the platform, and those low-level API's are to protect users - you just don't see the "stealing all your personal data" or "mining bitcoin without telling you" apps that you do on other app stores.
When we have politicians endorsing to defund the police, riot, and use violence and terror to get their way what do we expect?

Stealing is now perfectly acceptable as it's just distribution of wealth.
It would let you set an upper limit on the price you pay though. Better than accidentally misconfiguring a logging service and writing gigabytes of unneeded data.

Test unlimited sites as often as you want including local development sites to find and eliminate broken links, duplicate content, invalid HTML/CSS/JavaScript, insecure pages, redirect chains and 50+ other common website problems.

It grew from automating manual audits I was doing for client work. It was especially useful when I was making risky changes and big refactors to large websites where it was hard to predict which pages would break.
LOL, that's actually a pretty good argument against them doing that. For now. :)
Thank you very much Cydia!
I was hoping for so long that something like that would come.

I'm always stunned that antitrust authorities do nothing on this topic where in my opinion they should have reacted a long time ago.

I see a lot of people here saying that Apple monopoly is good because they pay to maintain their app store and for the security of the users blablablah.

But no one said that they can't continue their app store with the conditions that they want on it, just it would be fair that any one be able to run competitors app stores with their conditions and the same possibilities as the official one. It's not like anyone will be forced to use another appstore if he wants to stay on apple one for security!

Now, apple world is like if we were living in north korea: we are such morons that the party has to decide everything for us, and finally to their own benefit!
The entire world can’t migrate to the top 10 wealthiest countries so there must be some form of selection. Ideally that selection should be fair to everyone. Sour Europeans like yourself are just selfishly crying because your passport privilege for which you have done nothing to deserve it is being taken away and you have to compete on an equal playing field with everyone now. Too bad that you find this situation so upsetting, but I find it good. Nobody deserves an advantage based on their birth place.
>Brave's ads don't leak your consumer profile to the advertisers. Only Brave themselves know who's seeing what (and even then, only client-side, unless they push a malicious update one day.) Advertisers only get to know how many impressions they got.

The New New Shopify Store Design Experience Review
Would that not be analogous to them requiring Netflix or Amazon Prime Video having to list all of their videos one by one in Apple TV? I can buy that for games that you purchase through another storefront, but not for something like XBox Games Pass which gives you access to a number of games for one monthly fee.
But having to turn pages is better to serve ads, as you need more effort to dodge them
You're misdiagnosing the problem. The problem isn't that the police are less able to do their job and thus more people are able to get away with stealing food. The problem is that people are not able to afford food.
What kind of algorithm do you use for your trading bot?

Say:

Strategy 1: If the market is trending higher. Then, buy on the dips. Hold. Sell for 20% gains. Then rinse and repeat.

Strategy 2: Or, if the market ($SPY) has risen for x percent for the day, say 3%, then you short the stock. Wait for it to correct, and sell for 20% gains. But if it continues rising higher than 10%, then buy back the stock to close out your position.
I don't understand your position. Are you upset at politicians or the community that was okay with letting people starve?

Senate. House has passed stimulus packages. IMO further delineation is deserved, but contentious, so I'll leave it at that.

In Udemy's case, I don't think the sales devalue the product, so much as the 'regular' prices are an attempt to inflate it. Semantics perhaps, but if you frame it that way then their strategy makes sense: they're not cheapening a premium-priced product, they're giving a premium sheen to a low-priced product.

The downside (setting aside questions of morality and consumer law) is that it makes them look a bit dodgy, and also they presumably have some upset full-price customers who only belatedly realise they've been taken for suckers.

Sidenote: can you get every course for $12.99? I've recently started using Udemy, and I've cottoned on to the fact that if I'm not getting 80-90% off I'm doing it wrong, but it seems that the real prices range from about $13AUD - $30AUD or so. Is there a way to routinely get the (nominally) more expensive courses at the same price as the cheaper ones?
I’ve had the same experience around gift cards, and was just baffled. Like, this isn’t a strange or uncommon operation, it shouldn’t take three employees to cypher it out!

One other funny thing is if there are two promotions you want to combine, and an employee tells you they can’t be combined - just go to another cash. 50/50 odds the second one will let you do it!

We had our wedding registry at HBC - some items we received three of while the website said nobody had purchased, others showed as purchased - by nobody? A strange experience all around.
Believing that the Earth is flat is mostly harmless. Believing that vaccines cause autism, that covid is a hoax, etc is actively harmful to society and actually kills people (more often then not not the one who believe it in the first place).
I understand the philosophy of "I bought it, I own, I should be able to do what I want with what I own". However, you're fighting against a big, fat corporation for a situation you pur yourself into. Why not buy an alternative that actually does what you want?

Sure, e-waste is bad, but that's the only strong argument here IMO. Apple should be severely punished for helping create pollution. The rest is up to interpretation.
It’s scary that civil unrest might be exactly what the Republican party wants.

Donate cash to your food bank.

Mortgages, rent and utilities are all suspended almost everywhere, so are student loan payments. So hopefully people won’t be evicted and not have to worry about bills right now.

But I wonder if an instacart app for food bank delivery would be a good idea. Kind of like meals on wheels. Dunno.. it would beat queuing in cars for miles.

Maybe there’s a way to do crowd funded UBI... it could start around grocery stores maybe with grocery store gift cards..

Food deserts are a big thing though. It makes me think that there should be way to instacart deliver food to people.

Yes. If [0] is a point of debate, we need to seriously reform the police system, and defunding/demilitarizing is a good starting point.

There was a recession this year. Lots of people lost their jobs. Many companies aren't in the position of offering raises even if they wanted to.

That being said, if a 2% raise during a global recession/pandemic makes you feel unwanted at work, seek out greener pastures.
> Starlark is Python (thanks Guido!), while CEL is designed specifically to not be Turing complete or have constructs like loops, etc.

Sort of. Starlark doesn't (or at least didn't originally) support recursion or while loops or a number of other structures. There's also a few other differences that make starlark "better" for configs (some immutability is different, there's no such thing as a `class`, etc.)

I still support loops in a configuration language

for x in sequence:
generate_complex_thing(x)

or

[generate_complex_thing(x) for x in seq]

are better than a lot of the more declarative approaches (such as the various contextual approaches of a number of alternative langs) which get hard to reason about because they represent implicit global state.
I don't remember having to deal with VMs directly at work, but for deployment I do remember the process of setting up a shared instance hosted by a third-party company (usually LAMP stack), SFTP-ing you files from your localhost computer to the nameservers provided by the third party, and then managing upkeep of databases and cron jobs if any.

I'm trying to find a "Rosetta stone" to go from shared web hosting (BlueHost, HostGator, etc.) to AWS based hosting. For example, with storing files, how to translate the storage of files in a Linux-Apache instance to S3 infrastructure.
> Although you can get it to solve 3-SAT, though only for some predefined number of variables (which it assures can be at least 32). Combinatorics stuff like printing all possible sudokus also seems like it should be feasible.

Exactly, all you have to do is reorder the list of stops to make left turns less necessary. You don't need even tell the drivers about it.
That's a comforting line of reasoning, albeit a fantastic one. It's much closer to a straw/camel's back situation in my estimation.

No, I'm not challenging the premise, I'm challenging your framing.

No evidence was provided of that. The sources you provided point to technical problems that are perfectly understandable during a massive, unpredicted surge in such a technically complex field.

One question about Airbnb.. Before covid, were people still renting to sleep on the couch? For me, Airbnb was always this "I don't want a hotel room, I'd rather have an apartment by myself". I know some people would rent a room.. but the couch..?

I'm asking because I keep hearing that at first nobody thought that renting their couch was a good business idea, and how airbnb proved them wrong, yada yada. But IMHO, if right from the bat they explained how they'd be a full blown competitor to hotels because cheaper price and more convenient, I feel like the conversation would have been different with VCs.
It’s pretty easy to see that expecting people to do “the right thing”...when you have poorly defined what “the right thing” is...will result in problems.

The Irish Dutch sandwich would cease to exist if governments wanted to stop it. It’s the responsibility of the people to vote for politicians who aren’t corrupt and will make laws to properly represent our intentions instead of enriching their buddies.

It’s not the companies fault, they are simply following the incentives. All companies have competitors, and if you design a loophole, the nature of competition will force all companies to follow it. Lest your competitor gain a profitable advantage.

Fix the game and players will follow the new rules overnight.
The IaaS services are easy. Other services are more difficult. Something like BigQuery ML could generate massive bills pretty easily.
> And theres no practical way to determine whether the customer is “trying it out” or running a key part of their business on any particular resource.

What? Why wouldn't this just be an opt in thing? It could even be tied to the account being used. It's not like AWS accounts are expensive or hard to setup.

If a user opts in to the "kill if bill goes too high" and they kill a critical portion of their business, then that's on them. Similar to how a user choosing spot instances if their spot ends up being destroyed. You've already got that "I can kill your stuff if you opt into it" capability.

> On the other hand retroactively forgiving the cost of unexpected/unintentional usage doesnt impact the customers users.

Yeah, and what happens if someone isn't big enough to justify AWS's forgiveness? What if they get a rep that blows off their request or is having a bad day? You are at the mercy of your cloud provider to forgive a debt, which is a real shitty place to be for anyone.

> And with billing alerts the customer is able to make the choice of whether the cost is worth it as it happens.

And what do they do if they miss the alert? You can rack up a huge bill in very little time the right AWS services.

The point of the kill switch cap is to guard against risk. The fact is that that while 72k isn't too big for some companies, it means bankruptcy for others. Its because you might want to give your devs a training account to play with AWS services to gain expertise, but you don't want them to blow $1 million dollars screwing around with Amazon satellite services.
If you are starving, stealing food is at the very least perfectly acceptable, and many would say just. I'm not aware of any ethical frameworks, even the most hardcore libertarian ones, which would claim otherwise.
One other suggestion - it needs to be something you want yourself. It's hard to be passionate about something you personally don't want.
Was similar for me. The drawback is, once you get back your passion by finally understanding why many things have been so pointless without functional programming, your job options are now severely limited.
It was one of those stores that had all the premium brands (vs Eaton's back in the day).

Those brands established their own store fronts, while HBC tried to continue to be all.

OP here.

Your assumption is incorrect. I haven't been in touch with anyone in Google, and used 0 internal connections. Happy to make another post with my conversation + documentation to support this.

I reached out to the GCP through their regular channels. This is not a paid post, and we are not sponsored by Google in anyway.
I suspect this is works for them because they’re steeped in the field already. So the number of new ideas per hour is way lower for the professors than it’d be for newcomers. And the professors can probably comfortably tune out when they want without getting lost because they have enough background.

Learning new things requires physical changes in your brain. Fewer new ideas = less cognitive effort = more energy remaining at the end of the day.
Agree it's unfair to single out Elon. But Elon has clearly been anti-union for a long while and has building factories in states with low union presence. He's undoubtedly contributing to income inequality via corporate policies.

The cumulative pressure by major companies on congress is probably the single main reason why congress does not enact stronger protection. We got corporate tax cuts because of this over say better employment protection laws.

In addition, homelessness is mainly a result of mental health issues (not entirely, ok) - and not housing prices.

And many homeless come to LA and SF from other areas that are not as friendly to the homeless. Which is why there are a lot less in Dallas suburbs than downtown LA.
