Yep. It was also a project where we rolled our own...everything. This was an AJAX project before Prototype, jQuery or even JSON was popular so we had a lot of explicitly mapped paths and code that only didn’t exactly what was needed and verified every argument.
The closest thing is probably a very charming, attractive/successful person soliciting you in person, at a place where you're open to buying that product (let's say a mall, or specialty store) or are a captive audience. Maybe we should ban the way luxury brands are sold, or military recruitment at high schools.
> Further, I suspect the emotional reaction here comes from Apple playing a much larger role in the public's mind than General Electric.

This tends to support tptacek's point here, that this is a normal thing to be going on and people are exercised more because they are conditioned to have fainting spells over the name "Apple" than because Apple is doing something different than what's always been done.
Frameworks like WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) used to support different transport level protocols, like TCP, but IMO that discussion is long over, with HTTP the obvious winner. And of course, the overhead is even less these days with HTTP/2.

I find GraphQL not being coupled to HTTP to be a problem, no a benefit - as you say, returning HTTP 200 for everything is just daft.

Firefly, but with a new cast and an altered storyline?

That wouldn't retain any of the fans of the original, and in fact Disney would be hated on endlessly for doing it.

If this is real... quite possibly Disney is "leaking" this info to test this idea and see what fans think.
FYI: Neverware is a Google Chromium OS based distribution that you can load onto most laptops through a USB stick. It's main aim is to be able to transform your old PC or Mac laptop into a ChromeOS laptop.

They've been working pretty closely with the Google ChromeOS team for a while across the consumer, business, and education markets. This deal may be a way for Google to expand the number of devices running ChromeOS.
1: I expect this will translate to the majority of traffic will not have IDFA available, either by apps not wanting to annoy users by asking, or users saying no.

2: On a single request, yes. But users typically make very large numbers of requests over time. The pattern of requests that you'd see from a real user looks pretty different than what you'd see from a bot.
This all sounds very familiar, the same inner monologue, imagined interaction later, unfortunate fear and the suppression of those thoughts/ fears on the occasion I do get to do something.

I’ve had a bit of a different experience on psychedelics though. They’ve tended to explode those fears but vomit them up in a way that makes me reflect on them that I would normally subconsciously suppress. Not a very pleasant experience, but incredibly interesting, but due to other side effects I rarely try it.
Oh I see! Thank you. I wasn't expecting that to trigger a 'drop-down' for some reason.
>Funny seeing the amount of people who just read the headline and think this is about people believing journalism is itself dangerous to others.

That is interesting though. Journalism is in major crisis.

The sinister fact about journalism censorship is that it is largely voluntary.... Things are kept right out of the mass media, not because the Government intervened but because of a general tacit agreement that 'it wouldn't do' to mention that particular fact.... At this moment what is demanded by the prevailing orthodoxy is an uncritical hatred of Russia and Trump. Everyone knows this, nearly everyone acts on it.

Any serious criticism of the Trump/Russia, any disclosure of facts which Trump/Russia would prefer to keep hidden, is front page. If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. Common folks still vaguely subscribe to that doctrine and act on it. It is the left wing who fear liberty and the elites who want to do dirt on the intellect.

Any dictator would admire the uniformity and obedience of the U.S. media.

They're held up in some idyllic form because while they're worse for customers, they're on average much better for employees. 'Small business' isn't just meant to be heartwarming when talked about as important - small businesses also spend a much larger percentage of their money on wages.
AWS does have aws cli, which is what this essentially is, except this shell is on the cloud and not another posix shell running locally on your machine.

This probably abstract away the .aws profile? I can't see much reason to use it since I use aws cli just fine in the however many terminal tabs I have.

A interesting point missing from the BBC article is that they have different levels of expectations between small to medium businesses and large ones, to avoid regulatory capture ? :

> Platforms that reach more than 10% of the EU's population (45 million users) are considered systemic in nature, and are subject not only to specific obligations to control their own risks, but also to a new oversight structure.

Another interesting tidbit is the answer to the common trope that 'private platform can act as they wish since they are private' :

> The Digital Markets Act addresses the negative consequences arising from certain behaviours by platforms acting as digital “gatekeepers” to the single market. ... This can grant them the power to act as private rule-makers and to function as bottlenecks between businesses and consumers.

The road is still long before ratification, but it looks like a step in the good direction.
The relationship between the Default Mode Network and a rich inner life seems like a reasonable enough connection, as does the relationship between DMN activity and loneliness.

What would be fascinating to me is an exploration of causality.

Can feelings of loneliness be increased by an upregulation (dTCS) of Default Mode Network activity? Can they be reduced by a downregulation? Can either of those be performed without substantially changing the subjects conscious qualia or internal states?

This will be really interesting to watch in a few years.

The law of Equity in various countries constantly evolves to cope with exactly these kinds of fuzzy logic questions.

Just today, in fact, I read this article: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3697726

Recent scholarship engaging with the impact of digital technology on contract law has suggested that practitioners and researchers will need to give proper consideration to the ‘role of equitable remedies in the context of contracts drafted in whole or part in executable code’. More generally, a raft of challenges stem from the increasingly active role digital technologies play in contractual relations.

Faced with these challenges, instinct may dictate attempting to tame the technological beast with a variety of regulatory responses spanning the full spectrum of possibilities, from legal requirements to voluntary codes of conduct or standards. While regulatory action may be a priority from a public policy perspective, the seeming trustworthiness of algorithms, and the consequent reliance placed on them by contracting parties carry the inherent risk of lack of autonomy and fully‐informed independent decision‐making that, in Australia at least, is addressed by equity through the doctrine of undue influence.

This article explores whether this traditional doctrine can adapt to operate alongside regulation in dealing with some of the challenges presented by algorithmic contracting. Specifically, it focuses on those contracts where algorithms play an active role not only in the execution, but in the formation of the contract, as these are the “algorithmic contracts” that challenge the very fundamentals of contract law.

I should add, that I probably suffer from a latent poverty mindset in this instance (regarding fancy cars). I can imagine if I had enough money or wealth past a certain degree I could care less if my massively expensive car was keyed etc. I'm still trying to pin down the number at which I have so much money my anxiety about luxuries and indulgences largely goes away. Unfortunately, I think this number for me is at least $8MM :(
This is how software is supposed to work. If your enterprise value-add can be replicated by a two pizza team and that team is cheaper than your licensing fees then it's barely even a question as to whether it's worth it. We do this all the time on a smaller scale at our company to avoid license fees. We need one small feature from the enterprise offering so we implement it ourselves to say with the free oss/community version.
inhouse we use a few different data viz tools and Grafana is in my opinion subpar.
"Attribution is hard."
I'll be honest. I hate GraphQL. It probably makes sense in a world where everyone uses graphQL, but to me it felt like having to learn yet another query language to do what to me seems straightforward using a simple REST api.

I may also be old and cranky and you should probably get off of my lawn.
Sure. We're not talking about Facebook here, they'll be fine. We're talking about random sites and apps. How many apps on the Play/App Store actually implement differential pricing by region?

This cannot be an afterthought—it must be the central question all advertising skeptics must start with.
zug_zug, these are the kind of journalists that are getting arrested "in record numbers(1)": https://twitter.com/zerosum24/status/1321971751648137216

Also, one might not understand if the things someone else is doing, is mediocre or really bright, when one doesn't understand the topic well, oneself.

Let's say someone X cannot understand much mathematics -- then, if someone else, person Q, solves a quadratic equation, and person F solves, say, Fermat's Last Theorem, then, it's not easy for X to know that F is extraordinarily talented (right?) whilst Q is more likely an ordinary person. Because to X both problems are equally hard -- namely impossibly hard.

Instead, like @dcolkitt indicated, X will look at how Q and F dress (better looking = better at mathematics), and which one has the most self confident voice?

(However in things like sports, when one clearly sees who, say, is the fastest runner, then it's simpler of course.)

Mostly, at least the first run theaters. They were honestly not seeing good profits for a while, because they had to pay so much for films to the studios/distributors.

Most of the chains in my area have gone under and won't reopen, and it's difficult to see anyone getting investment for new ones any time soon - even if they came back to 100% of what they were before the pandemic, they wouldn't be a great investment.

Smaller theaters showing older movies will probably pick up, though... places where you can have a beer and watch Casablanca or a 1970s war movie, that kind of thing.
That prompt to allow push notifications on every single page load is obnoxious.
Interesting...as someone else pointed out, this is just for feeds. If I recall correctly, Twitter uses Redis as the store for user feeds. I wonder if this is a result of the recent deployment of Graviton2 instances for ElastiCache[1]. I'd think Twitter would be at a scale where such a managed solution wouldn't be hugely valuable, but I thought this use of Graviton chips was really smart. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon gave them a very good deal to lock in a big customer for that offering.

I think they're too different for that to be meaningful. GraphQL lets you do way more in a query, which means you need fewer queries. It would be like comparing PostgreSQL with Redis, or something.

Over about 15 years of observing who got in I would say, be a VERY conspicuous leftist. Pretend to be LGBTQ+ as that is very common in the academic world as well as large left leaning institutions such as Google. List your pronouns on Linkedin so everyone can see your signals.

I've known some that have worn VERY conspicuous clothing every day such that it can't be avoided or not talked about. Have a "hidden genius story" like you dropped out of high school but are now an idiot savant genius developer. These are all real world cases of google hires I know.

Amazon frequently releases a bunch of new cloud services all on the same day.
My understanding is as follows:

If you are able to answer "Is email address[or other collected data] ________ associated the user whose database row has primary key _______?" then that is considered being tied to the account, and thus tied to the identity. If you are using email address as a user id, then it is very much tied to the user's account on your service.

For tying to device, this could be based on reading the devices serial number somehow, using the Id for Advertisers, or just generating a unique random identifier at install time, and use that to distinguish records. So if you can answer "What is the race of the user with random install id _______" then for apples purposes you have tied race to device and thus to identity.

Basically unless anonymized nearly all data that you collect will be considered by Apple to be identity tied, unless you don't have user accounts, and don't include some form of device identifier with the data. It is literally impossible to have any form of user account without at least having one thing "tied to user identity". Even if you use "sign in with apple" and do not collect the anonymized email address they provide, you will have at least "user id" (the "sub" token from apple) and probably also "Other User Content".

For example, an otherwise offline game might collect the time taken to beat each level without any device identifying information to allow the developer to understand if levels were harder than expected. In that case you have collection of "Product Interaction" data that is not identity tied.

I've been donating to this organization for several years. For the amount of money they raise, they seem different from other conservation-focused charities in working with people on the ground to find means of income that drive conservation economically. It's a thoughtful model that isn't just helicoptering money in (like direct giving), but actually getting involved with communities and raising their standard of living.
"This shift in tone suggests the new version of Firefly might drop characters like Inara, who is basically a prostitute. Instead it’ll probably lean more into the fun and adventure aspect of the universe’s stories."

Jeepers, what a problematic paragraph. There was nothing basic about the character (who was also fun and adventurous) nor about the sex work portrayed in the series. An entire episode centred around it, telling the story of how unregulated is unprotected in sex work. That universe's take was refreshingly insightful and something modern societies could takes lessons from.
We have two night trains in the UK. One of them is the Riviera express that goes west from London to Penzance in Cornwall. I’ve traveled on it, it was an expensive but convenient experience.

The second is the Caledonian Sleeper that goes from London to Inverness in the Scottish highlands. This one is ridiculously expensive. I’ve never seen tickets that cost less than £300 for a lie down seat, which is 8-10x a typical airfare 3-4x a typical seated train fare. Probably will never travel on it but I’ve always wondered why it’s so expensive. If demand is so high, the why not increase supply by adding an extra train?
The paper even says, "the avaliability of a type system —expressed as a schema — is one of the key benefits [of GraphQL]".

In other words, as you say, if there's a schema with the REST API, GraphQL loses one of what the authors claim as a key benefit.
That write up is excellent and I found this paragraph particularly interesting.

> An interesting paper [1] claims a negative correlation between sales performance and management performance for sales people promoted into managers. The conclusion is that “firms prioritize current job performance in promotion decisions at the expense of other observable characteristics that better predict managerial performance”. While this paper isn't about hiring, it's the exact same theory here: the x-axis would be something like “expected future management ability” and the y-axis “sales performance”.

The go-to resource that is usually suggested is The Mind Illuminated by John Yates. I found it to be a very nice tutorial-like guide to meditation with hardly any spiritual/religious bullshit, and it breaks it down into stages so you get some idea of where you are at and what progress you are making (even though progress is not really something you should be focusing on with this).

The introductory course on the Headspace app I also found good but I think it is better to not stay on it beyond that.

If your thoughts keep you awake sometimes I think you would definitely benefit greatly from this.

Uniform interface: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfe...

Hypertext: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext

JSON is obviously not a native hypertext, any more than plain text or CSV is. You can, of course, embed URLs in it (or any other format) and call it a hypertext. That's usually pointless, as the links will be consumed by code (rather than a human, in the canonical HTML->browser interaction) so if the URLs aren't simply ignored, they will be dealt with generically.

I'm not justifying anything, I'm merely stating what I think is an unequivocally positive side effect of advertising-based models: they have automatic price discrimination built in. Subscription models do not have it built in—developers have to do extra work to introduce price discrimination. I think this is a demerit of subscription models, though not one that outweighs the demerits of advertising models.

You can try to shut your eyes but it will not go away. Regarding various aspects and abilities you occupy different places in hierarchies.

This doesn't have to be a crushing discovery. There's plenty you can do to improve and there also luck involved. It makes sense to go out there and shuffle your cards, generate opportunities improve compared to your past self etc.

But it's undeniable that there are differences in attractiveness and personality that won't go away. You can try to live in some Disney world where everyone can become a top hero but it's not possible. Not every employee can become a manager and the a CEO. Not every man can date the women that they personally find the most attractive (taken as a "whole package", not just in physical attractiveness). Not everyone can get the best paying jobs.

It's better to come to terms with this so it's not a scary thing any more.

Motivational books won't tell you this, and nobody wants to be a mood killer to say it. Especially in outwardly positive cultures like America.

You need to know where you are compared to your peers, and assess if you made progress. Sure tracking your progress compared to your past self is also crucial, perhaps more important day to day, but unless you understand where you are among your peers, you will misunderstand things and have wrong expectations.

We are humans but also animals and are subconsciously aware of who is "above and below" us. We interact with them differently, our posture changes, our tone of voice changes, our hormones change depending on how we compare to our surrounding people.

This assessment can also be off in various ways for various reasons like conscious or unconscious manipulation/persuation from others, depression etc.
