Yes, agreed technical people are fine. Most users struggle with basic setup so it's a win for them. Personally, why would I do anything hostile that generates support calls?
Yes, I know.

If you're implying Google can't afford it but CircleCI can, then while I understand your logic, I disagree with your understanding of reality.

So tell your local government then to pass laws that make short-term rentals via AirBnB illegal, or to increase taxes on rental properties, or to build more housing, etc.

People in the comments are acting like AirBnB is some villain, when in reality it's just a website that facilitates supply and demand of housing. If not AirBnB, it will be some other site (eg. many AirBnB listings are on other websites as well). So long as that market exists, platforms will come up to cater to those needs.

Everybody loves a good villain. But really the problem and solution are not as simple as AirBnB = bad. You guys sound like taxi drivers bashing Uber/Lyft.
Yeah but it's necessary. The old UI would cause people to leave; the new one is actually really good.
But where do you plug in the fiber? Where does one even get GPON CPE on the market? And how do you clone the serial number of the ONU?

It often comes to what we are used to. I switched from Windows to Mac on purpose: being a 20+ years Windows power user (software engineer) I wanted to learn a Mac to be a bit more versatile. It took me a year just to be decent MacOS user and I stil "hate it". For me Windows is still better, as for me it is easier and I know all the tools, etc.

I am still to discover a built in set of tools on either platform. I use 3rd party to accomplish my daily tasks on both.
We can't wait decades for that process to play out. The environment doesn't have the time.

Offer young poor men with one or zero children a vasectomy: and give them a bicycle, a shack with a light, a pressure cooker, a phone, a solar charger and battery. Total cost a few hundred dollars.

This will shortcut what people ultimately materially want and would also fundamentally alleviate poverty.

If the requirement to be powerful but not almighty proves to be too much for Google I'll be glad to see them go.

I do not expect that to happen.
There are efforts to get Signal working on the PinePhone and Librem phone through Anbox. Signal also does not require Google Play Services, it can run with completely libre software all the way down. So, Signal is becoming a viable choice on a device that meets Free Software standards and is not a “spyphone”.
Why do you think small companies can't compete with big companies anymore?

This is the opposite of capitalism, this is big companies colluding with the government to keep their dominant position and prevent competition.
For example, look at how VATMOSS forced sellers to use Amazon / eBay or implement complicated tracking / accounting.
Agreed. For most people remote management is a life savior. But hostile can also be company policy, i.e. rewriting DNS servers every hour, etc.

There are some good points made there, but I found some of the points to be weak. Some hopefully constructive criticism:

> Why would you not care about one of your human rights?

That's essentially an appeal to authority or appeal to the majority argument. You haven't shown why I should care about privacy, you've only stated that the current consensus is that privacy counts as what we call a human right.

> it's not that I have nothing to hide, I simply don't have anything I would like to share, especially unknowingly.

Not really. I have plenty to hide, but that doesn't mean I've done anything wrong. I wouldn't agree to a camera in the bathroom, despite that I don't use the room to commit crimes. It's not that I merely don't care to have a camera, I would consider it a violation for there to be one.

I share this sentiment. Not knowing that "Tylenol" is Paracetamol I assumed it had to be some heavy, special, US-only painkiller, like those opioids which killed so many.

I have a box of this in my drawer - it's 20 pills totalling 10g - that's enough to damage a healthy liver if taken in the span of 24h.

Curious why you're downvoted. So people think the FTC is not independent? I wasn't sure about it myself, but with both Democrats voting in favor, this doesn't seem to be pushed through by Trump.
The compiler isn't __changing any programmer dictated behavior__. There are no UB sourced 'optimizations' being implicitly disabled and none have been expressly enabled. As long as valid code compiles it's on the humans that wrote the code (or that triggered it's writing in some higher level synthesis tool).

Expanding on this; I don't want compilers _making_ optimizations based on UB. I want them educating the programmers so that the UB can be eliminated at a human level and correct outcomes are the result, optimized if it makes sense.
You should look at how the new low-cost high speed trains is looking now in Spain. The high speed rails are now open to the market and a Madrid-Barcelona ticket would be around 10 EUR (12ish USD) and a 2:30h trip.

I really look forward to this deregulation (it was about time for Renfe to have real rivals) and I think it will be a huge added value for the people, that Spain has the second longest high speed train network in the world. I guess we'll see how it evolves in around 5/10 years...

To echo your main idea:

We can describe the world only within the limits of our vocabulary.

Or another way to put it, you can manage scope with your toolkit of words. In a way, if I say the word ‘theft’ doesn’t exist, you are going to have a hard time expressing theft. I just defined constraints with a simple omission.

Well, it includes verbatim copies of the whole email chain, and those are looking pretty bad in itself without any of the surrounding text.

This is a valid argument, which leads me to the thought that the laws need to be updated. I personally wouldn't be okay with my own premise. I have a person coming over to clean, but I am always home and I can check if I am worried about something.
And that's totally fine. You're the only one who can decide how to build upon your talents (even though EVERYONE else will have an opinion on that). If you hate research, then research isn't your thing.

My point is that you shouldn't sell yourself short by denying your talents entirely, as is being expressed in the post. Your talents are your edge, and an opportunity to make a difference (such as teaching in your case - talented teachers are the great amplifiers. They help the next generation discover and build upon their passions and talents, enriching us all). Talents in the right environments can foster passions.

But once again, people telling you what you should and should not do is a huge problem.

>As an EU citizen, I'm extremely happy for the way the EU is pushing back on the tech giants. It's empowering.

Let's not kid ourselves, the main reason EU is pushing against them so easily is that they're not European so they have nothing to lose.

See how little resistance from the EU, VW and other EU major car manufacturers faced with emission cheating/scandals and the amount of lobbying they do.

If Google and Facebook would be locally home grown and provide tens of thousands of well paid jobs and billions in tax revenue to the EU economy, not to mention provide the EU with a global (surveillance)hegemony on tech, it would be safe to assume the EU would let many of the current things slide.
From Facebook's POV the researcher behaved badly and rewarding that behavior without an NDA will encourage other researchers to behave badly.
Peterson had been talking about the difficulties of benzo addiction and the epidemic of addicts in the US before he got ill. He was aware of the risks and his behaviour shows us it is possible to get off benzos with a trip through hell and specialist treatment.

The peterson formula is to talk about a social problem empathically and with some expertise. Then he goes through the problem personally and models behaviour. Lastly he lectures people on what should be done. It's good at making people roar with outrage sometimes, but its mostly notmal teacher stuff turned up to 11.

As a European citizen, I'm tired of having to close hundreds of popups a day which purposefully use dark patterns to make it harder to unselect everything and just close and make it easy to accept everything in one click.

This is what happens when you get incompetent non technical people to regulate on things.

Most people still just accept everything and we get terrible, government mandated ui.

I thought I had read a lot about Tolkien and Lewis but I have never before read the theory that they consciously conspired together to inculcate generations of writers to rebuild English literature around medieval fantasy. Ingenious!

Dismissing the Haradrim and Calormenes as racist archetypes is lazy, though. Tolkien and Lewis went out of their way to invalidate that interpretation.
That was also a trick to try and get a disk (of your own) that was having troubles to at least read to back it up.
That doesn't counter what the OP said.

You think GDPR didn't accomplish anything? Companies around the world had to implement it to be able to do business with the EU, as one of the largest trading blocks by GDP.

That means anyone storing any kind of consumer data had to consider a) how to report on what they were storing if asked and b) how to delete data if asked. Banks and others spent massive amounts of cash on implementing GDPR. It was a major breakthrough in getting corporations to take privacy seriously.

Has it solved surveillance capitalism? No. And for most of us dumb consumers we're just "ugggh.... annoying modals about privacy on every website".

But it's the first step towards having some kind of protection for consumers and it shows, despite lobbyists or otherwise, governments can have a real impact. And now the EU is building on that success.
Can't say I'm surprised; I have a lot of other small beefs with the Netflix app that collectively hint to me the developers who coded it may not have been top of their game.

Some examples:

- Unacceptably high latency for any sort of seek operation - even if it's just going back a few seconds to what you just watched and ought to still be somewhere in a local buffer.

- Trying to seek multiple times sometimes forces you to wait for the previous operation to finish instead of "accumulating" your taps to determine a new time target

- Grabbing the playback marker and dragging it left and right is very imprecise, it should converge into "logarithmic" behaviour for fine movements

- Flakey Chromecast button. More than half the time I have to kill the app and relaunch it to get the cast button to show up.

- Occasionally flakey UI layout (random bugs which present when moving between screens or searching, or flickering due to layout engine doing multiple repaints over the same controls)

- Likes to plaster up things I don't want. They seem to prioritize "discovery" over "user intent", which would work if only they surfaced articles I'm interested in (which is rare). When I just want to find a "comedy" or get to the series I'm watching, it sometimes feels like I'm fighting against the UI

- Constantly moving my cheese - it's like the UI designers have ADD and can't commit

Amazon Prime is just as bad (maybe worse). I wish these companies didn't control the vertical - i.e. just provide content, and let other vendors make the client software.

The practice you're alluding to is currently restricted to one surprisingly specific segment, which I'll term the 'hillbilly newspaper'. Seriously: I do not remember ever seeing that message, except when clicking a link to some small-town newspaper in a non-coastal US state. But among these newspapers, the rate is somewhere above 50 %.

EU visitors are obviously a small fraction of their traffic, which allows them to do this. But there are millions of other websites where that's true. And yet, none of them feel the need to implement geoblocking. I just tried Four Seasons Total Landscaping, and it works fine.

So there's something else going on. To cut to the chase, it's publishers being ideological and idiotic: they are trying to make some point about EU imperialism and US sovereignty, by pretending that the EU has powers it doesn't have.
Bootstrap Case Study, Pros and Cons
A little OT: often when chasing bugs, the diagnosis represents 99.99% of the work, and the fix is completely trivial.

I recently spent over a week trying to find why a Windows PC was acting erratically in very specific circumstances and seemed to work fine the rest of the time. It was (here also) a problem with timers. Once the problem was identified, correcting it took 15 seconds.

I sometimes worry that in healthcare it's the other way around: doctors do an immediate diagnosis and then months (or years) are spent trying to fix what they think needs fixing. Isn't it possible that we are doing it wrong and are not actually getting to the bottom of things?
Ironic how the keyboard warriors who accuse others of being "arrogant" tend to themselves come off as the most arrogant.

Again if you actually read my comment, the point is that governments are responsible AND the only entity capable of fixing affordable housing problems.

But sure feel free to villainify AirBnB and AirBnB guests/hosts if that makes you feel better. I was living off AirBnB and short-term rentals in NYC/SF too, I guess that means it's my fault that NYC/SF has expensive housing? Lol ok.

You should actually write a bio so I can anonymously insult your existence from the comfort of my keyboard. /s
I can't even use the Prime Video apps, because they all ignore all language settings (both those of my devices and my Amazon account) and pick which language to use based on IP Geolocation.

There's a setting for language on the web, but it only affects web.

In my case I'm a foreigner who is still learning the local language, but it must be a real nuisance for people in multilingual countries like Belgium or Switzerland where I guess it would just go "oh, Swiss IP, I guess you want German then".

The handler always copies the same amount of data. It has to be called more often to copy a lot of data, which is what usually happens when Android buffer isn't full. I agree with you that this isn't usually how this is done. Doing it this way means that Android has more freedom to schedule other tasks during the buffering phase.

Not the Beeb but this copy protection was also used on the Apple II for example which is why we ran with the cases off so we could adjust the speed screw to match track lengths. There was software that would visually feedback the track length so you could get it spot on.

Windows definitely improved significantly with Win10 in this regard. But Exposé (or whatever it's called now) invoked via a swipe gesture is fantastic. Swipe up with 4 fingers and I see all windows. Swipe down with 4 and I see all windows of the current app. Combine this with Spotlight to quickly find and open apps/documents.

But, everyone has a different workflow. I can imagine that if you're a heavier shortcuts user, Windows works better.
And that's the reason fragmented mp4 were invented.

Guidelines for Developing Custom Hooks in React
The way to get the best latency on a device is not for your processing loop to be directly driven by an audio hardware events/interrupts. This is for many reasons:

1) events/interrupts can be delayed (usually by (bad) drivers disabling interrupt for a long time).

2) latency is not adjustable. You may want to give your processing more time if you know more work needs to be done, or the system is under variable load.

3) you will usually finish generating your audio too early. Eg: if the interrupts is every 2ms, but your processing is 1ms long, you are adding an unnecessary 1ms latency by starting as soon as the interrupt is received.

4) the device will consume more power as it can not know when it will next wakeup (theoretically, I do not think it makes a difference in practice)

Modern mobile devices use a DMA to copy the content of the application processor (AP) to the audio DSP. This DMA will copy periodically the content of a AP buffer to a DSP buffer, this is called a DMA burst.

You want to track this burst and wakup just enough time before it to have the time to generate your audio data and write it to the AP buffer + a safety margin.
This allows you to track the system performance & application load to adjust your safety margin and optimize latency. It also allows the scheduler to know when your app will need to be woken up far in advance leading.

The Android Aaudio API [1] implement what I just described, as well as memory mapping the AP buffer to the application process to achieve 0 copy. It is the way to achieve the lowest latency on Android.

I believe Apple low latency APIs uses a similar no interrupt design.

> Digital nomads building some pointless SaaS products with inflated egos

Look we get it, you hate digital nomads and SaaS products. I couldn't really care less, and that has nothing to do with anything I said, which is that local governments are responsible for their citizens. Whether it's AirBnB or Craigslist or Couchsurfing or some other website, there will always be a demand for people to find housing and to rent out spare housing. Villainify digital nomads or AirBnB, that's never going to solve the problem. (though part of me thinks you're more interested in venting about how much you hate "digital nomads" then actually thinking about the problem of affordable housing and what would could realistically be done to fix it).
> 84 percent of Americans reportedly oppose it, and I often have a hard time understanding how the Supreme Court hasn't struck it down

That is because you shouldn't be looking to SCOTUS to decide cases based on popular vote. That's the responsibility of state and federal legislatures, either by adding constitutional laws or changing the constitution.

SCOTUS' job is just to make sure those laws are legal and followed. So only legal arguments are relevant.
