Industry wide unions are the goal, but you don't just flip a switch and change to a society with industry wide unions.

We don't have industry wide unions in the United States because, although unions were on the rise in the first part of last century, they eventually got beaten down into their pathetic state after the Fordist compromise broke down.

> act as barriers to progress

They give workers a say in what counts as "progress." "Progress," to my mind, does not necessarily equal improvements in my quality of life. e.g. I used to not be constantly surveilled. Then some progress happened, and now I am. Am I better off?

Learning Agda and later Haskell is what my grandfather would call "character building." It was awful and confusing and was seemingly useless until I realized I could intuitively write certain algorithms that my colleagues struggled with.

And what a beauty it is! How many languages can you do the same thing in so many different, humorous ways? Each one expresses somehow the nature of the programmer who wrote them. Haskell is the art of computer programming at some of its finest.

At what point do you think that sovereignty outweighs price? I think that is the point that GF is on about.

There is a good case for some sort of in-sourcing when it comes to national systems. For example if, say, a Chinese diplomat toddled on over to you (let's say you are a US citizen and an important one) and asked you to use his country's foremost VPN solution for secure communications. Would you?

Saw a good article on that recently, which a bunch of links to potentially useful ideas:

https://theweek.com/articles/951759/parents-warned-internet-...

It's not just your parents, it's lots of people who didn't grow up with the internet and don't fundamentally understand some of its nuances.

Excerpts:

"None of this is to suggest my generation's brains are immune to internet breaking. But there are some important distinctions here — three in my observation — that give this a generational dimension.

...

"The first (and this is based in data) is that younger generations are less likely to dose themselves daily with the poison of cable news, so that's one less source of content blasting. For those who consume cable news on a regular basis, the immersion becomes nigh impossible to break."

...

"And that brings me to the second generational distinction: the degree of innate understanding of the medium. I do not think my older family members understand the extent to which the content they encounter is tailored by algorithms to set their lizard brains on fire. Like the majority of their peers, as a 2019 survey showed, they probably don't understand an algorithm is involved at all. They insist they do understand, but their behavior tells me they do not."

...

"I thought my own parents would be safe from all this because — thank God — they are not on any of the big three social media sites; they don't have cable; and their tech skills are limited. As it turns out, that's irrelevant. The internet is so user-friendly now it can break anyone's brain! YouTube and a few political email lists are all it takes. And now that this content history is established, my mom's search results are tailored accordingly. The brokenness is self-reinforcing."

...

"[Third:] Our parents have generally not managed that pandemic-time connectivity to their [real life] friends — if indeed they had close friends in the first place. A common thread in my discussions of broken boomer brains is a lack of intimate friendships and hobbyist communities. In the absence of that emotional connection and healthy recreational time use, this media engagement can become a bad substitute. The memes become the hobby. The Facebook bickering supplants the relationships. And it's all moving so fast — tweet, video, meme, Tucker, tweet, video, meme, Maddow — the change goes unnoticed. The brain breaks."
I like the clean, simple design and anything to take on LinkedIn is great in my book. The font is really small though.

Is there a business model? I'm always rather hesitant to put time into projects like this without some sort of business model to keep them running. I've been burned too often by sites either shutting down, going by the wayside, or switching to ads/other less desirable business models eventually.
Ah yes, let me guess... we should all move to Linux & Pinephone right?

There are a number of successors to the human genome projects, which to various degrees of success have mapped the epigenetic landscape around protein coding genes.

However, your point is pretty spot on: what's the medical value? Having really high resolution epigetic maps doesn't translate into better clinal results, and it's not even clear that the results of these studies are looking at anything but statistically confirmed artifacts!

There's a small group of sjw activists there that want to run the show.
I remember in college back then taking a dremel to the side of my steel PC case to cut out a hole for a plexiglass window. Lit up the internals with a blue CCFL. Pretty weird the effort that went into stuff like that. I made fun of people who put ground effects lighting under their car, but was I really any different? Ha!
Seems like he's guilty. I don't think the charges represent the severity of the crime. 500 doses of vaccine silently ruined is 500 cases of reckless endangerment to me. My heart goes out to his (ex-)wife. What a mess to deal with.
I currently use firecamp.io/graphql/ which I use to generate any query. Will I find much difference in using grepql?
I recently built a new desktop after my motherboard died. I was surprised that the cheapest cases, which were little more than steel boxes with cutouts for ports and fans, were more than twice the price of cases with side windows and half a dozen RGB fans.

I also followed posts for component sales and saw a lot of people complaining when a sale didn't apply to RGB RAM or some such.

I ended up buying a case with a side window and incredibly bright fans. I couldn't disable just the fan lights without an additional motherboard adapter, so I cut the LED leads on the fans and called it a day.

All this to say, am I alone in wanting my computer to be a plain box? All those extra lights are just distracting to me.

Edit: after a cursory glance at the comments, it's obvious I am not alone. Maybe I'm just curious why there's such a large market for light-up components.

They absolutely aren't treated the same as publishers: "Thus, newspapers, magazines, and broadcasters are liable for republication of libel or slander because they have editorial control over their communications. On the other hand, bookstores, libraries, and other distributors of material are liable for republication only if they know, or had reason to know, that the statement is defamatory."
https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences-and-law/law/law...

In other words: they aren't expected to have actually read every word of every book they sell. Publishers, newspapers, etc, are. But if a book defames me on page 154, the law doesn't hold the bookstore responsible unless it knew. Once it does know, you could probably sue. But that's not the same as treating it like a publisher- it's a different standard.

Just a general question, is it known why overwork and things like playing games for long hours has not just benign effects like fatigue, but actually leads to sudden death? There is the notion of karoshi in Japan which is death due to overwork. I also remember some news articles about a gamer in South Korea who collapsed and died after 4 days of continuous gameplay.
True regarding the late-comer aspect, although it is less of an issue when using mailing lists with an archive. In the past, when lacking an archive I also just asked another participant to send me the earlier discussion in mbox format, which was easily accomplished with the unix MUAs of the time.

Regarding the actual modes of discussion I was thinking of though, usenet and email are mostly the same.

If that is what you got from there speech then it was very misleading indeed.

That is a world of difference from 'absolutely impossible.'

I also did not say that my trips were not essential, that is just as big a misunderstanding as you made above.
Archived snapshot of OP link: https://archive.vn/GxV04
This is a sad day because if the Windows team at Microsoft can't get the Office team to build snazzy native apps then that can only mean there is no hope remaining for native apps in Windows.

This underlying reason/trigger for this is the Windows team's failure to differentiate native apps in an attractive way. The flat look has been a disaster from a usability point of view, but it also has been a disaster from a differentiation point of view. If native Outlook app looks no different or better than the Web version then there is no longer any reason to maintain the native app.

For native apps to succeed over Web — and Steve Jobs has shown this can be done — it must have a differentiated look & feel, and users must find the look & feel attractive. The Flat look and feel meets neither of these criteria. Microsoft pioneered the Flat look and feel, and it has since been copied by Apple, which "proved" the wisdom of Microsoft's move. But it has been downhill for Windows native apps since then.

Looks like you are suited to work at a smaller company or even a startup where you can "own" things but you are not willing to give up some of the perks that you currently have which are most likely at a more stable/larger company. Am I correct ? I say this because I run a small SAAS company and we are a very small team. I would love to hire owners who can own an entire piece of work which for developers means starting a real feature based on client feedback and finishing it up and releasing in production to see real effects on actual customers. All within few days or sometimes even quicker. You own the piece. But that means you discuss the requirements, brainstorm ideas, suggest and negotiate ways to implement it and then code the heck out of it. The problem is that in companies like mine, I cannot offer some perks like unlimited vacation (is that even a thing anymore), or great benefits like larger or more well funded companies.
Sounds like an application of Sturgeon's law fits, here.
Except sometimes Apple rejects your app such that you can't do anything to fix it. They straight up tell you that your whole concept isn't allowed to exist on the app store. I think I've seen a couple of stories about this a while ago. Or if there's any semblance of UGC, you're supposed to have a moderation team that would enforce Apple's ridiculous policies. Oh you're an individual and don't intend to turn that into a company? Tough luck, sorry.
It's probably both. Additional exploitation of targets was typically required to reach data of interest, and at a certain point you do get resource constrained having to deal with a high number of targets. It takes time to exploit them, it takes time to ingest and parse the discovered data, and even basic things like managing all the resulting shells takes time.

Based on this, as you say there were likely a high number of targets who probably were not worth the time to exploit, especially when every exploitation action increases the risk of detection and cessation of the op.

Just in time too, because that's also probably going to be the retirement age by the time most of us get there. /s

I have mismanaged a bunch of my career and life choices by just kind of "winging it". For example, I bought worthless stock options, but let the ones that were eventually worth something (8 years later) expire! It seemed like the right choices at the time. I panicked earlier this year and moved a bunch of 401k stuff into safer assets just in time to miss the biggest market boom in history! And I moved and sold my house in Seattle (for a small profit, just before the crash, got lucky there -- the next owner defaulted) which is now worth 2x what I sold it for and I could have probably bought something in SF during the crash but wasn't "sure" I was going to stay here so I missed.... the largest market boom in history! Should have just kept the old one as a rental and bought a small condo. Once you can buy something, always buy the next one too if you can. This is what my smarter friends have done and some of them own 4 houses now. I could have. I just didn't.

If I bought something now I'd be in my 70's before it was paid off and I can't guarantee that I'd be able to pay it off by then. And there's Alzheimer's on one side of the family and strokes on the other, so I don't expect to live that long, which I guess is the bank's problem but... blah.

I also made all these choices when I didn't have a partner or any peers in a similar situation to bounce these major decisions off of. I did have one smart friend who told me to keep the house in Seattle, I just didn't listen. So guess this is all a long way of saying it does make sense to talk to someone if you can, and make some kind of long term plans that you don't have to think about too much.

Thinking is really bad. So is spending your entire career working for mid-tier startups that don't go anywhere, but that's a separate issue.
Amazon Launches Kindle Challenge Award System
Ah thanks, just tried it out and it indeed produces quite a different result using that filter (default settings) before dithering.

Here's a side-by-side comparison using an image from the front page of nytimes.com (be sure to click to zoom in for the full effect):

https://imgur.com/a/mrHl7FW

Without it (left), a photo remains "accurate" in terms of brightness levels.

But with it (right), it becomes far more high-contrast to feel closer to an illustration or painting. Which certainly makes it clearer. But while it brings out details in middle levels, it totally blows out shadows and highlights.

E.g. the texture of his mask, shirt, and her hand are much clearer. But on the other hand, their hair (and a background object) just turn solid black and lose all detail. But certainly, the vastly higher contrast makes for a much more compelling image IMO.

> and very low cost

The costs are high. Estimates show millions, if not over a billion, of these things will make their way into oceans. That's massive environmental damage:

https://nypost.com/2020/12/28/more-than-1-5b-masks-will-poll...

They have a high social cost. They are causing fear and adding stigma. People are judging one another for mask usage out of pure religion reasoning. If they are not very effective, we've watched State mandates around the world cause a new ideological divide between people. pro-Mask people literally have voiced threats of violence against those who do not see their benefit.

They hide our facial expressions and our primary way of seeing each other. Long before COVID, medical masks were used at Gitmo as one of the many means of dehumanization and torture:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=masks+gitmo&iar=images&iax=images&...

Human rights groups have long been critical of the full Burqa as a way to dehumanize women. There is a psychological effect of not being able to see people's faces, and therefor not seeing them as human.

There are people who have PTSD from trauma, rape or sexual abuse who can not wear a mask without panic attacks. I know such people who cannot go into stores or restaurants and must order everything online. There are exceptions in the law, but most stores will not allow of it and the shame of walking around in a store without a mask where 99% of people do also induces panic.

Masks have a cost. It is not low. It is not near zero. It is much higher than you think it is.
