That's not a social media problem. The claim that Google sells user data came from the traditional news Big Media outlets like the NYT and WSJ. I remember when it started actually: it happened around the time Google News launched. The narrative in the media industry became very quickly "Google is making tons of money whilst we're going through huge layoffs" and the media spin went from highly positive to very negative at dizzying speed.

A major inflection point was when Rupert Murdoch gave a speech proclaiming the iPad was the future of news and Google was some sort of parasite sucking the blood of journalists. The tone of the output from his newspapers changed overnight and they immediately started digging around for largely fake 'scandals'. The rest of the news industry didn't need much persuading and the rest is history.

Claims you see on social media since then are largely just repeating the media's talking points. It's not like it originated there.
all these mechanical parts will cause pollution both in their production and their disposal.

365 days of production will also require some heavy fertilization cycles, so more chemicals to be produced and disposed.

I don't see that talked much and might very well come ahead with the efficiency of scale in having all these thing stacked instead of dispersed over a large tract of land, but these thing are an important aspect and hopefully what will come out of this deployment is some hard data about the impact they have.
+1 for Synology DS Audio. I've been using it for the last 2+ years and it works great.
EdTech startups in London are worth a look
network effect, a roadmap, peers, milestones set for me so i don't waste time, and an institution that i can put on a resume. most importantly free up front.

i'm a dropout with no savings, on-and-off homeless for the past few years. i've been playing with tech since i was a kid but not in any capacity that looks professional. the pandemic has ironically given me stability and opportunity to try and get my foot in the door. a somewhat respected program that provides a structured environment and job leads at the end is breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

and if it doesn't pan out and i go back to tossing pizza for minimum wage, at least there's no debt like last time.
Trust or a monopoly position.

And in this context trust doesn't scale, you need good teachers for every [class size] students. That means profit only scales linearly with good teachers (the scarce resource).

Marketing scales though, and what matters to the consumer is how much they believe the actual value is compared to the competition for what they believe their options are.
Thanks. I will check it out. $750 (holiday discount, $850ish without) is pretty steep though, but I guess if nobody else can produce a high quality product they can ask for it.
Yet C# and PHP also suffer from the same problem so it's more than a Java problem. Verbose OO languages seem to give rise to cultures of over-abstraction.
How does the internet 'alleviate issues of information asymmetry'?? I thought it was well understood that this has not generally happened, except in open markets for very transparent and easily comparable products.

Holiday accommodation for example, much less complex than coding bootcamps, is far from a solved problem.
Not everything needs to be financialized/transactionalized. In this case I am not really sure what it would solve.

The capital costs of building networks like these, when you factor in the know-how and time required to build and scale a WISP, are really far beyond the bandwidth costs, which appears to be all that Althea accounts for. Passing the hat to cover gateway costs seems like a fine approach to me.
>That's the thing about free speech and press freedom, you are either for it or against it.

You can have a balance of press freedom and privacy of individuals, and even the US does in libel and slander laws, as well as e.g. (more recently) revenge porn legislation.

Germany and other does European nations for example have a stronger claim to personal privacy rights of individuals than the US, based on Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The European Court of Human Rights found that you cannot just publish any picture or piece of information you know but have to weigh the newsworthiness of information against the invasion of privacy such publication would mean.

E.g. paparazzos stalking somebody to a funeral of a family member is usually not newsworthy enough to overcome the personal right to privacy. Writing about somebody being gay would cross a line unless that somebody was/is publicly vocal about "gay matters" such as gay marriage legislation, gay adoption rights etc. Publishing pics of the family, especially kids, of famous people is usually a no go - except when those family members themselves engage in newsworthy activity such as coming a crime.

As it pertains to Gawker, they outed at least two high profile people as gay (Thiel, Cook), published a sex tape of Hulk Hogan and his partner, published nude paparazzo pics of various people including Justin Bieber and a slew of other things, while their sister site jezebel.com wrote pieces rather strongly condemning the publication of hacked nude pictures of Jennifer Lawrence and other in the "fappening". If only Gawker listened to Jezebel...

Frankly, I like the European way, which is certainly not free of dangers, a lot better than the US way. But famous people are people too, and are entitled to at least some privacy.
Sorry. But I am Pakistani. From my perspective, if the government is providing free health coverage, subsidized accommodation to students, free education [0], and good public transit, then it is fulfilling the ideals of socialists. However, the label of the actual system might be different, which is totally fair.

[0] I think Finland is now charging a small tuition fee, at least for non-EU students.
To quote a speech I heard in college: "It frustrates me to no end that, as a species, the religious are more fit. Their communities are more structured, and have less crime and violence. Their families larger, more nuclear and more supportive of each other. Their members are more relaxed, and have more purpose to their lives.

Evolution would state that, eventually, only the religious will survive. If there is a God, He is laughing."

Nonetheless, I don't think that would help here - the society has passed critical mass of crime, the incentives are for everyone to be criminal, and religion itself would be subverted for its use.
> Docker is dead

Replace "Docker" with "containers" then.

> but they have to mature first as ease of use, und performance / stability are not there right now

And this is what I have a hard time seeing. Unikernels had their hype moment several years ago, and nothing has happened in the meantime. If there is no big leap in tooling, lightweight virtualisation will remain a transparent implementation detail for the cloud vendors.
Also Gawker (the company though, not the specific blog) caused "Gamergate"

If I remember correctly, when Zoe Quinn boyfriend complained about her behaviour, and accused her of having a relationship with an editor of Kotaku (that is property of Gawker), while her game was being reviewed by Kotaku, the reaction by Kotaku and Gawker at first was deny that it was an issue, leading to the shitstorm on twitter (since people were already pissed with media for other reasons, like Doritogate adn whatnot).

Only after things were already a huge mess, with death threats, trolls, people arrested (a Brazillian guy got arrested for sending death threats as a form of trolling, he had nothing to do with any of the groups involved, just wanted to watch the world burn), that Gawker did something about it. (sadly I don't remember what exactly they did, and do not have time to check now, but was something along the lines admit that editors having conflict of interest is a bad thing)
I’m a bit confused by the opening sentence of your second paragraph. Perhaps we are using multi-tenant to describe slightly different things.

A multi-tenant setup avoids the pain of maintaining multiple version in production. All multi-tenant customers are on the same server & db versions by design, so any future upgrades can be done for all customers at once. Also, upgrades are expected to be painless (at least in theory) since there is never more than one version in production.

Customers with special needs are hosted as single tenant and of course you get to charge them extra $$$ for this special treatment.
I agree with you here, but even these two categories of runtime errors are much more painful in C/C++ than in most other languages.

As I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, you can ask gcc to trap if your code is about to dereference NULL, but the compiler can't easily detect all instances of out-of-bounds array access, due to the way arrays and pointers work in C. I believe Valgrind can help detect out-of-bounds errors at runtime, but in most languages you don't need a sledgehammer like Valgrind to find these common errors.
Ironically the GOF book used C++ and Smalltalk, while Java did not exist.
Really really over-simplified, I feel it comes down to a combination of when it was invented and for what reason.
Why was Java invented? People wanted a simpler language.
What do simpler languages do? Attract more people who aren't willing to put up with a lot of hassle (e.g. memory management, garbage collection, cross-platform).
Unfortunately, software dev back then was arguably much simpler (less requirements, less competition) and incredibly lucrative (= people less interested and without affinity come in for the money). The worst seniors I meet are generally Java one-trick ponies, incredibly knowledgeable in Java and the domain of the app, but that's it. Despite most of these apps doing incredibly basic CRUD stuff, they tend to end up more complicated than a freaking game engine, the complete other side of the spectrum.

As a younger dev, it is really difficult to fight against these seniors. Most seniors that care have left, they got the whole market begging at their feet. Other seniors have given up. There's a small number of seniors that still care, and there are layers of bureaucracy between suggesting a change, incorporating it, and seeing the results. It isn't unheard of to have half a year pass by from the suggestion of a change to the first signs of its effect. For many a young dev, that's half a year away from moving jobs without falling under immense scrutiny.
I had a different idea, which was that governments of the future could ban advertising altogether.

I know it's a... stretch, but imagine this:
- you can't put billboards in the city
- you can't place any images, text, etc. banners anywhere (except for tightly controlled, single-design descriptions of businesses in buildings, decided by each municipality like it's already done in some cities to maintain consistent look of historical town centers)
- in general, no publicly visible ads of any kind are allowed
- no ads in videos, TV, etc.

Where would ads be?
- you can search for ads like you do today, in search engines (preferably opt in), i.e. ads become a catalogue, not a "here I am" attention grabber
- gray line (recommendations/suggestions which really are ads would need to be limited/removed as well) to be decided

In general, clear up public space and attention holding spaces from explicit commercial interests as much as possible.

I'd love to live a few years in such a world and see whether value propositions of businesses would start shifting...
Things that fit this and I've tried out lately:

- Synology DS Audio (comes with Synology NASes)

- Plex Media Server

- Emby Media Server

They all have decent mobile apps, can stream music directly from your own server. Plex/Emby probably have a bit better apps with Android Auto support and whatnot.

No purchases unfortunately.
Well, it's even better for the student because the tuition is paid via an income-sharing agreement. That means you don't have to try to "get your money back" — you just have to defend yourself if they actually sue you for a share of your earnings.

This means that Lambda would have to deal with the bad optics of "suing their students" (which sounds worse than simply refusing to give refunds).

If Lambda did actually sue, students would have to defend themselves. But it's always better to be the party that starts out having the thing at issue (i.e., the money).
> - Sun/heat/light maybe needs to be converted but it's always used in the right amount for each crop

yes, but you are spending money and carbon on re-creating sunlight.

> Controlled environments protected from plagues, floods, fires... Crops are not lost due to uncontrollable events and a lot of savings in chemicals to protect them from bugs

Monocultures are spectacularly fragile. You have to be extraordinarily careful about your air system to ensure that you don't suddenly loose your crop to aphids/greenfly/other. Thats also not counting fungus or bacteria.

> - Good for the environment to save so much in transport

None of this is good for the environment. It takes a huge amount of resources to setup, keep heated and lit.

> - Independence from other countries

Actually this is the only real selling point. Theoretically you _could_ grow crops that are difficult to cultivate in your climate.

> - 250x less water

Yes, but I am sceptical. It should use less water than an open field, but the same as a greenhouse. if it truely is 250 less water then great. But I suspect thats clever comparison. There are ofcourse low cost ways to save water, like multch, or constricting water supplies and frequency just after germination.

Look, the problem I have is that a lot of these systems are basically hype machines. They are invented by tech bros who've just discovered that nature exsists. But instead of looking at the vast reams of research they head straight for the vertical/hydro/LED segment.

What agriculture really needs is an effective way to make and keep decent soil. After that its water management, after that is pest management. If you can make an automated, sustainable & cheap way to do that, you'll be actually helping the world

Up until that point, your just pissing dollars into the wind and wasting everyone's time inveting solutions to problems that are not actual problems.
Can you explain to me what this is if not XSS?

The article does a poor job.

My assessment of this as marketing is going on the content of the article which attributes obvious misinformation to Sanguine Security; if it is not the case, I'd recommend Willem request a retraction/correction/clarification.
Arguably it's actually in their interest to filter out less determined people, by providing an environment which is confusing or demoralising.
I like the Ghosting = Ghost Hosting play, and this isn't customer facing either way. You'll still put yourdomain.com over it. Doesn't seem oppressive or insulting to anyone, and I'm happy that you're more likely to remember the name now.
Do you not understand how claiming to support people's pronouns and then bravely using gender neutral pronouns for everyone who doesn't specify is a bit hyprocritical? Most people identify happily and it's as rude to misgender them as anyone.

It's a form of unasked for activism (it's done by an "ally") and it ropes people like yourself who are presumably not 'on the acronym' into supporting craziness that, if you're honest with yourself, would make you hate people who espoused. Both casually as one hates warm beer and gray weekends, but also in the sense of being inspired to actually work against the general freer society we've been building for decades.

Actual allies can help by not joining in on the trolling.
But in a situation like the current pandemic with borders being closed this would provide a good alternative to buying from other countries. Another global pandemic might be even more damaging and might infect plants rather than humans.

Also -> distributed cultivation. You don’t have a single point of failure.
With minor modifications, it can become inclusive or:

Do you want to eat some pizza or some garlic bread? - probably inclusive or

Also, I would interpret the first question as "addition" (pizza with garlic bread, on the model of mac and cheese), not as an inclusive or.
Interesting take, but Twitter is where all biotech news breaks and discussions with KOLs occur.

Both India's and China's population is expected to fall significantly, It's Nigeria where large growth is still expected.

Unless you invent really good fake pork and fake fish made of vegetable protein you can grow in vertical farms that won't necessarily help
I have strong doubts about number 4. Paradoxically, the people with the strongest investment in that line of thinking are those with the biggest desire to manipulate the public. The whole discourse around information consumption on the web, with terms such as "viral" and "radicalization", seems purposely designed to paint the picture that we're all helpless to defend ourselves from information on the internet. I just don't buy it. If you ignore the screeching of traditional media pundits, and the various internet commentators, the general level of ignorance and cranky beliefs in the real world among real people seems to me to be about the same as always.

Sorry if that was a bit ranty. About the other 3 points, I agree completely.

P.S. Wasn't the paradox of tolerance mostly about violence, not just untrue or undesirable information?
There’s some Baptists-and-bootleggers nonsense going on between right-wing Republicans tarring center-left policies as “socialist” and avowed socialists doing the same to bait-and-switch voters into supporting them.
This being an LTS release made me wonder: why do distros with long support cycle like RHEL not come with LTS kernel?
over engineered.
This reminds me of when Hawaii had that "false alert" of an incoming nuclear missile and it was supposedly just a user error.
If it is a justified belief, then asking them to justify it is not a problem then, is it?
Yeah, you'd need to work 125% as effective for 4 days to make up one day you work on other stuff.
Apparently it gets missed a lot that Java and C# build on top of C and C++ enterprise culture, which was bubbling with GUI frameworks, CORBA and COM/DOM when Java was designed, and later .NET followed on (given its origin).

It feels so strange to make C++ a kind of better language, when it was one of the main creators of that abstraction culture.

Naturally, in the last 20 years, the only C++ developers are those that didn't moved on, so now 90's C++ code gets coined with "writing Java in C++", the irony.
> This story is not about you or your buying habits. It is about the fact that concentration of power and money in the hands of a few tech executives is killing news stories, information about the world (not some comedy show).

You can have a balance of press freedom and privacy of individuals, and even the US does in libel and slander laws, as well as e.g. (more recently) revenge porn legislation.

The issue here, though, is not whether Gawker's behavior should have been protected speech, but whether it's concerning for a documentary about Gawker to be canned by a studio controlled by a large company which had another aspect of its business harmed by the behavior of the subject of that documentary.
I don't suppose you've committed to donating at least a small portion of your profits to the Ghost open source project?

Ghost is released under the MIT License so, obviously, you don't have to, but I (personally) wouldn't "feel right" pointing any potential customers your way without something along those lines. I'd just send them straight to https://ghost.org (who are hiring folks to work on Ghost).
And where are these statistics? And why is Berlin typical in this aspect? And why are cyclists doing such an obviously dangerous (to them) maneuver?

What left me puzzled for a while is that I automatically assumed the series would portray Gawker in a negative light, given how they operated. For Tim Cook to intervene, the opposite must have been the case, or am I missing something?

I've searched for 'Lovecraft' and then opened first 15 results - no book was in library. Then I went to the openlibrary.org and again searched for 'Lovecraft' and among first 20 results I could only borrow one book for an hour. What is the point of showing books that aren't in library, or I am missing something?
Replying the nested comment, my current approach is to put multiple Ghost installations on one big AWS server. Each Ghost installation has its own codebase and database, so they're very independent of each other, with upgrades and migrations all happening independently.

Dunno if you'd call that single or multi tenant, but that's the gist.

I can automate the upgrades and migrations and running them for all the installations at the same time, or leave your installation alone until you ask for an upgrade / migration.

>This seems like a worst case scenario, and it still seems like an overblown issue.

These are not overblown to people like military and civilian planners, who's jobs are setting up things during the good times so their country gets through the worst times like a global catastrophe or a world war. Having food security for years is essential for that. A pandemic like Covid-19 can severe supply chains for months. Their jobs is imagining what a Nipa virus pandemic or a world war could do.

FWIW I have no particular opinion other that "huh interesting" about vertical farms and no idea about their role food security planning.

Can you make an application on Linux using POSIX APIs? How about on Android? Your argument seems to be macOS is not a UNIX because POSIX doesn’t specify a GUI toolkit, but this is quite frankly absurd.
