Free market and government intervention are just tools to achieve a desired outcome. You can have too much market freedom and too much government intervention. Moderation is key. It's also important to regulate the right things. A lot of economies are failing to grow because of government oppression or corruption. A lot of economies get into undesirable situations because they are too liberalized.

The balance is usually tilted slightly towards free markets because many governments are often incompetent but the free market doesn't tolerate incompetence or inefficiencies. In many cases it is so hyper efficient that smaller players have such a hard time that monopolies form and globalization brought this to a new height where we have entire countries like China specialize in manufacturing to the point where USA/Europe can't compete and seek out other opportunities.

I was just about to type this. I've noticed as I get older both literally and career wise, I enjoy guiding where the code goes and letting more jr members work towards those goals while helping to improve their programming/soft eng practices. It's very rewarding.
Understand your response is guilty of the same argument. You consider your own sources (whatever they might be) to be more factual then the ones presented by onyx_. Both of you will not agree. More troubling is that you require their sources to be held to a higher standard than your own. I assume both of you are not experts or journalists in the field, so do not conflate your truth as superior because someone else relies on their own de facto truth. You are in fact both several degrees removed from the source.

Scrutinize their sources, but likewise your own.

> Shutting down speech does not lead to "facts" or "truth", it leads to uncertainty

I do agree that shutting down speech only adds fuel to the flames. You're right. I also think companies are not faultless judges of the truth.

> If you're so confident, then let those people speak and use arguments (even your ludicrous wall of links) against them. That's rational and dare I say it, scientific.

Here is where the discussion on YouTube (social media in general) censorship should start.

The problem is that these people (the left as well) use "post truth" arguments and tactics to draw circles in the sand. Isolating discussions into talking points presented by their own side. Shrouding the herd from other arguments by claiming them to be "Fake News". Inflaming individuals to argue at (not with) everyone. This is immeasurably harmful as this information needs no fact checking and can be presented with a facade of reasonableness.

People will find these arguments faster, more digestible, more appealing, and more viral than traditional news media. No discussion will occur. Even onyx_'s list of sources will not persuade them.

> YouTube is basically the Catholic church, claiming they know the facts, they know the truth, and Galileo is spouting nonsense.

Here's the crux, you are scared of Google's knowledge of the "facts" and biases, but you show no interest in gathering the whole truth yourself. Onyx_ did give a list of sources, that could be true or false. You dismissed them immediately in your comment. But more telling is what position you place your knowledge. Is it above sources, officials, experts, scientists(?), journalists, news agencies?

Can you confidently verify the same authenticity of your sources?

We should not fool ourselves. Tomorrow, just like today, no meaningful discussion tainted by politicization will be held by both sides again.
Awesome! This is the web summit talk I was looking forward to. So part of the promise of wasm is its integration with the web api and dom. In the fractal application for example if we extend that to include a zoom function that handles mouse events and updates variables, I'm probably employing something like blazor or js-sys in rust. How will that high level integration be handled in the dev console? And is it possible to create custom visualizations? Thanks in advance ;)

The title should more accurately reflect that the regulators were the data custodians that were compromised.

'The European Medicines Agency (EMA), which assesses medicines and vaccines for the European Union, said hours earlier it had been targeted in a cyberattack. It gave no further details.

The two companies said they had been informed by the EMA “that the agency has been subject to a cyber attack and that some documents relating to the regulatory submission for Pfizer and BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate” had been viewed.'

When I was a jr. engineer, I had a skip level meeting with the director of our department (~30 people). I asked the director -- in the snarky way that certain entitled junior employees have -- what he actually did in his job. He laughed and explained that his job was to make sure senior management understood what we were doing and were onboard with why we were doing it. Nobody gave me any talking points and I was too green to worry about the political ramifications of my snark... and there weren't any. It was just a half hour opportunity to talk to someone I didn't usually get a chance to talk to. I now realize that this company, or maybe just that department, was a particularly healthy place to work.

This sounds like depression

Comments unhelpful.. sure, it might be. But it's so general. And what do you do, treat it with therapy, diet, exercise and meds

While undoubtedly useful and necessary, we can find such diagnoses and treatment anywhere.

It elides the personal nature, and ignores specific causes.

The story was touching. I can't offer advice, because it's your life, but i can share what helped me.

When i got bored with boilerplate, i made my own frame works to make the boilerplate mine and bearable.

I made tools i love to use.

This made it better and less boring.

When i lose interest in things or feel I'm losing my spark...i consider what am i not saying that i really feel. How am i not living my true authentic life.

And then i start closing that gap. Saying what i want to say. How i really feel. Doing what i want to do.

It's not easy. Bridges sometimes are burned. Connections lost. Opportunities declined.

But i feel i get closer to the life i really want. And that let's me feel lighter and want to get up everyday and enjoy it. When I've got confidence my choices will lead me to a path that i will increasingly like, instead of feel like they're trapping me in one that i don't want.

I'm also careful with my diet. And double these efforts when I'm feeling off. Minimize processed foods, and increasing vegetables.

And meditating and relaxing.

I find this keeps me balanced, centered and me. And then what i want to do occurs natrally.

And i just follow some ideas i have. And don't try to start something that will be too hard for me or take me too long.

If i don't want to do something i don't do it.

Like i said, not advice, because it's your life, your choices and you're different to me, and i don't want the karma nor the responsibility of affecting your path.

But just sharing what helps me, because maybe they can inspire you and help let you feel things can be okay.

Take a look at the actual volume of waste produced. It’s tiny even when not compared to the garbage we put into the atmosphere, mine tailings, oil spillage, etc. Nuclear fuel is highly compact and you only have to change it every 6 years, that’s about 16 changes in a century. What other fuel source can compete with that and have the same energy output. As for accidents and deaths just compare the numbers to any other power source. More people fall off ladders installing solar in a year than have died from nuclear accidents.

What's you side business? You should consider selling it.
Clearly not being able to log out is a feature, not a bug. Mother Facebook is looking out for you by ensuring you're incentivized not to share your hardware with other people. After all, who knows what nefarious things they might do to it! And you wouldn't even be able to hang out with them in VR! If they wanted a headset, they should just get their own.

But, you might say, what if they can't afford to get their own Oculus? Facebook, aren't you just limiting your own audience by having this policy? Trust us, we've thought of everything.

With the new Oculus Direct program, you can just tell your friends they can rent-to-own a headset at $0 down, 0% APR for 12 months. And as a Oculus Direct Ohana Team Member, you can even get a credit to your own Oculus bill for every new user who signs up for Oculus Direct from your referrals, as well as a credit for every new user they sign up, and so on! And if you grow your network wide enough, you can build that network into a business!

This is very simple. It does not matter how expensive the stuff is as long as it can be sold for anything. It could even be sold for scrap.

The people who steal stuff are not concerned about the value for the owner, they are only concerned about how much they can recover from it and the risk of being caught.

This is so good!

I wonder if the author publishes the source code for the interactive bits somewhere (I could of course look at them from the presented JS, but still). I've been looking for a non-fan-inducing way to generate a DOF-effect, and the one in the first example is definitely good enough for my use case.
If you have an appetite for a more in-depth book, the McKinsey book "Valuation: Measuring and Managing the Value of Companies" is a classic that is taught in many business schools and used extensively in practice. Although the title is specific to valuation, it covers the basics of financial statements and also offers solid guidance on leveraging financial data to drive strategy.

I would recommend selectively reading the chapters based on your specific situation and previous level of knowledge. It appears used copies are available on Amazon for about $25.
That's how I'm reading it.

And it's the exact opposite of what I relied upon CentOS for in the past.

In the past, CentOS was what I used when I needed a rock solid OS and software packages that could run for months, if not years, with few manual interventions.
This is better advice than most will admit.
If it's still too expensive, maybe try a Onewheel =)

I wouldn't expect any. It seems like Fedora will still be the upstream for major RHEL releases. This is more like a rawhide for RHEL from my perspective.

People who refuse to follow police authority do not need escalation they need de-escalation. Police should not be escalating things beyond what is necessary and should be the ones acting professionally and not freaking out when people don’t do what they ask. When I worked in dementia care we constantly had to manage people who were not listening and doing inappropriate things. Hint; we did not get out the paddle.
So just because someone is not listening does not mean you need to escalate and bring guns to a situation that had none. The escalation should have been “if you don’t come out we will break down your door and take you out” that’s it. You people who justify guns for every situation where someone doesn’t follow very minor law is absurd. Resisting arrest though against the law happens countless times across the country and the police are not supposed to draw guns if they don’t need to. They could use a taser first for example. Protesters climb trees or barricade them selves to prove a cause. They resist arrest. The last protesters I saw around here the RCMP just said ok screw it let’s just block the roads going in and when they get hungry they will come out. It didn’t last long before they were starved out. So I don’t buy your argument that because she didn’t listen this had to escalate. Not to the point of guns in her face.
> Accepting the resignation explicitly declines the ultimatum.

Hilariously, that is implicitly declining the ultimatum. You have it literally backwards. You have to at least mention the ultimatum for it to be explicit.

They also didn’t “accept her resignation”, they jumped from the ultimatum straight to informing her colleagues without actually declining her request or calling her bluff. That’s precisely the problem I’ve been talking about.

> Again, negotiating with a bazooka is a bad move ... The most effective negotiation involves zero explosive ultimatums.

Sure. But that’s completely unrelated to what I’m talking about.

> Saying anything opens them up to lawsuits

Nonsense. If anything else, lying about the precise terms of her exit increases their legal risk, if any exists. Most states are at-will, if they wanted to reduce their legal risk they should’ve either fired her without explanation, or said “yes, I would like that resignation letter you threatened to provide”.

> and social media smearing

What a ridiculous excuse. If you can’t handle some mean tweets, don’t become an executive at Google. Turn off your notifications or something, seriously.

And since we’re still here talking about it, I think we can all agree that the executives absolutely failed in this goal.

> especially from this individual, who was already in a habit of slandering her colleagues on Twitter

Assuming this is true, then the way they fired her was one of the most bone-headed things I have ever heard. If you have an employee who’s toxic and famous on Twitter, the last thing you should do is get caught in a trivial lie when firing them. It absolutely torches any credibility you have in this context and it gives ammunition to someone that you know has an audience, a willingness to throw flames, and now has a serious axe to grind. The fallout from this should have been predictable to them.

It’s especially stupid since she offered them an easy out on a silver platter. All they had to do was request her resignation! She literally offered it! Then if she tried to claim that she’d been fired, they could produce her resignation letter and make her tank her public credibility. Instead they got caught in a dumb lie which damaged their credibility and gave her an easy way to get out ahead of them on the story and paint herself as the victim.

I’d say “<bleeping> amateurs”, but I happen to know that these executives are getting paid for this, a lot.

I'm going to keep it very simple; tell yourself you're not going to program for two whole weeks. You may feel uncomfortable letting yourself go, but it will give you a much needed break and you will come back more energized.

Speaking a bit more anecdotally, what worked for me when I facing a similar problem was shutting off the computer immediately after work and allowing myself to relax and prioritize other hobbies. I was watching more documentaries and vlogs, as well as going outside and hiking on the weekends as opposed to being bunkered down at my desk. This opened my eyes to what there really is in life, and I now view programming almost completely differently as a result, but in a sustainable, healthy way. I slowly built my passion back up, but not as compulsively as before. I don't program just to program anymore, which actually makes me more efficient.

I know your struggle and I wish you the best. Accept you need time off and it will get so much better.

From the second link it appears that iMessage is not counted because it is preinstalled on iPhones and is not cross platform:

"4. iMessage

Communication apps like WhatsApp are available on practically all devices, whereas native apps like Apple’s iMessage (and now Apple Business Chat) are limited to one provider.

However, the user base for iPhone is constantly growing in the USA. A lot of adolescents prefer iMessage to apps like Snapchat in order to reach out to their friends.

Since iMessage is a pre-installed service of Apple, there are no official messaging usage statistics as they keep those “in-house”. Looking at the ever-growing demand and distribution of iOS devices though, we can assume that the pool of iMessage users is growing. In the fiscal year of 2017, Apple reached a quantity of 216.76 million iPhones."

Maybe it just seems this way, but it seems like it's been a very long time since a US President has not started any new wars.

I agree with you - it is a point in his favor that he's at least trying to pull out of these wars.

I think it was 2 years ago, he announced he was pulling out, and the media instantly went into panic mode, calling the actions reckless, attacking his decision.

So I will give credit where credit is due. He's at least trying to pull out of the wars.

> What other motive would a country have to be in the EU, barring ostensibly moralistic arguments, which in themselves will be made with economic motives?

The original purpose of the European Coal and Steel Community was to neutralize the risk of repeating World War II by tying the major continental powers into a commercial union. The ostensible purpose was economic integration, but the ultimate purpose was geopolitical harmony.

In contrast Thatcher envisioned the EU as a purely commercial arrangement, designed to counterbalance the UK's loss of global economic relevance in the face of decolonization. The difference in vision was a major source of conflict between Thatcher and her continental counterparts. They only reached a compromise because Thatcher was concerned about a newly unified Germany having too much power without Britain in the union.
The problem isn't that some people believe the Earth is flat. The problem is that it's no longer disqualifying.

If one person believes the Earth is flat, that's not an issue. The problem is that much of the country has organized itself into information bubbles. Those bubbles can be large enough to span entire congressional districts and even entire states. Those states elect representatives and senators. These days, the Senate and House can be split by a single vote on some issues. We live in a world where there's a very real possibility that a state will elect someone to office who believes things as wild as "the Earth is flat" and they will be the deciding voice on critical issues facing us today.
Computing is always susceptible to shiny object syndrome. Just because it’s new doesn’t make it better.

AGPL considers network use to be distribution, so if you have modified the AGPL-licensed software you have to make the source code available to users of that software. That does not mean you have to make the source of downstream systems available.

In fact I am not sure you have to make the source of your modified AGPL software available to end users if you are using it internally ("users of that server" from the license would be you), but IANAL.
