The thing is that ads made them a lot quite quickly. Anything else will need time to grow to notable revenue streams. It's similar to Google in that regard, who always had revenue streams aside (like search appliances) but only now with different cloud-related (enterprise apps etc. included) projects.

But yeah I wonder about their thoughts for embedding payment into WhatsApp. Given Facebook's size they of course get a lot of regulatory attention, but they seem to think in that direction with Libra and other projects.
Strong perspective but understandable.

Alternative take: Twitter is where people are and information spreads by push vs having someone discover/navigate/link to your personal site for the announcement.

12 tweets is certainly a lot though but I don't get the idea that using Twitter to share important news is gauche. Maybe that was the case when they first launched but certainly not now.
Because of the presence of MAOIs, mixing ayahuasca with other drugs that affect serotonin such as MDMA or anti-depressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), may be particularly dangerous.

I imagine what Doblin meant is working with MDMA after an ayahuasca ceremony.
Pretty sure if you’re deserializing a structure with borrowed references you need lifetime annotations. Copying things around to pacify the compiler hardly seems elegant.
Interesting. I basically live at the VMware community forums and could not remember this issue...

FWIW I am a user moderator down there and VMware desktop products (Workstation/Fusion/Player) has my focus and as a result I basically read almost every post that would report this issue.

I just DDG'ed it and see one report from 2014 [0], ok some more from around 2008 when using google.

Looks like this was resolved in 2015 as that was the last time I see it being mentioned.

Buying a share of Tesla gives you equity in the efforts of thousands of smart people, accumulated intellectual property, factories, sales and marketing organizations etc. The shareholder probably expects the generated cash flow to be channeled by Tesla into creating something new, thus expanding the scope of what a share of TSLA represents. Those expectations may be unrealistic, but there is actual growth and invention underlying the speculation.

Bitcoin doesn’t represent any such creative endeavor. It’s the very opposite: an artificial scarcity mindgame that burns fossil fuels to power useless random number generators. It’s a tragedy that intelligent people who could be doing something creative instead spend their energy on greedy speculation around such a dark project.
>Of all the people that I know that went working outside of their country, they were mostly going to EU companies (or USA companies in Europe), sometimes to the Asia. None left for USA. On the other side I know a CTO that left USA for Europe and bought a small property in France where he lives with whole family.

Now let me give you actual statistics.

In a survey of scientists from 16 countries (http://spectrum.ieee.org/at-work/tech-careers/the-global-bra...), the US is the top destination from 13 of the 15 others and the #2 choice from the other two.

By comparison, only 5% of all American scientists move to another country, of which 32% go to Canada.
> he was a denier of the HIV virus role as a cause of Aids

I did a deep dive into this back in the 90s, during the course of which I had a chance to talk to Kary. I looked up his phone number on the internet (this was long before doxxing was a thing), cold-called him, and he picked up the phone. We talked for about half an hour. That's the kind of guy he was. I more or less asked him how can a smart guy like you buy into this conspiracy theory? His answer was: he wasn't buying in to the conspiracy theory. He was not endorsing the idea that HIV did not cause AIDS. All he believed was that there was not yet enough data to conclusively show that HIV was the cause, and so people should keep an open mind. And frankly, given what was known at the time, I thought he had a valid point.
The Chinese seem to disagree with you (https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2020/07/long-term-sur...).
Yeah, I've used time tracking software before and it was pretty effective, but I think something about having the log on paper, separate from the rest of my work, makes it feel somehow more intentional psychologically. It's also a little bit lower pressure since the idea is for me to accomplish the amount of work I want to accomplish rather than to fill up a certain amount of time, so with the new system the success metric is a bit more pared down. But I agree that "one goal a day + time tracking" doing essentially the same thing I have written in the post.
That and the associated optics.

There’s some reason for encouragement however. I bought a Seek Pro, with 320x240 resolution, on sale for $350 earlier this year. The app is pretty terrible unfortunately and the camera physical construction is flimsy, but the imager seems to be of reasonable quality for the price point.

The most innocent explanation is preventing benchmarks against similar tools which could be unflattering. Though the only other company that resorts to such insecure measures is Oracle.
> As a corporation, Facebook truly seems to be trying to improve its behavior for the benefit of society at large,

The nuance is that they're not - they're trying to improve their _image_.
I would trade these in a second for anti-corruption measures that actually did something about the problems you're complaining about.
>Facebook truly seems to be trying to improve its behavior for the benefit of society at large

I am utterly, completely bewildered at how one could look at Facebook's behavior and come to this conclusion.
FAANG stock is essentially cash equivalent because it is highly liquid. However, some companies also pay straight cash at those levels (or higher).
I'm in the market for a similar smart watch/fitness tracker and have settled on the Garmin Vivoactive 4. It hits the sweet spot between a sports watch and a fitness tracker for me, plus the battery should last about a week between charges.

Agree that a quality-sensitive metric can't be modelled fully in the structure. This is something I'm even observing in the work-environment also.

Do you have any learnings to make such initiatives work?
This is why I like macOS so much. I understand that it's not the same as having Ubuntu in WSL, but using the Mac terminal is so close to the experience I have when I SSH into my Ubuntu box that it's nearly 1:1 for me.
It's generally 50% RSUs which are stock but equivalent to cash for all intents and purposes. Only difference is that you need to stay at least a year to get paid. The post-tax money I mentioned is with everything getting taxed as income.

It still seems to raise their risk profile as the shells are more likely to get discovered unless they meet these new thresholds.
Games and MS Office are a big draw but the deal killer app for me is OneNote because unlike Note-taking options on Linux, it syncs to iOS and screenshots go straight into my current note (no need to copy and paste)
The CCP gains an advantage. It is a long complicated political story and it touches upon the sore points that the CCP is extremely sensitive to: Tibet, Taiwan etc. I am not a China hater but I know what it is doing.

In the other link I posted from professor Evelyn Rawski of U of Pittsburg, she explained that the last Chinese dynasty was the Qing who were ethnically Manchu. The Qing saw themselves as ruling five peoples, of which China was the most important. The Qing ruled China, Manchuria, Mongolia, Uighurs, and Tibet. When the Qing collapsed, Chinese nationalists, although they detested the Qing who were foreign conquerors, wanted to lay claim to all the territory the Qing ruled. I would do the same thing. But they used this strange construction of "Han Nationalism" and claimed that all the territory was really Han because the Qing was really Han. This is where the 5000 years of unbroken history propaganda comes from. Professor Rawski explains if you read the official Qing records which is in written in Manchu, the Qing did not "sinicize" or adopt Han culture. The Chinese liked to think they did but that is simply not true.

An interesting side note is that this bizarre cultural legitimacy argument cuts both ways. A few years ago, a Korean professor made the argument if you follow this line of thinking... you can argue that China really belongs to Korea. The founder of the Liao dynasty which once ruled Northern China was ethnically Khitan or "Qi Dan" in mandarin. The Khitan lands bordered Korea. There is some obscure record that conflates or can be construed that Yelu Abaoji is Korean... therefore China is really Korean. Bizarre. I don't remember the Korean professor's name but it caused a ruckus at the time.
If it works for Facebook and Google, with its legions of coffee shop developers, why not for others.
Yes I do covet them. Getting cheaper but still fairly low resolution. Keep hoping for a tipping point like digital cameras where cheap decent sensors will suddenly be everywhere. Not yet though.
One thing to notice is that 1440p at 27" (one main criteria set by the author) is ideal for non-Retina macOS UI. For Retina UI, stick to 5k at 27" or 4k at 21.5" (or, look for a DPI of around 218 PPI).
It may slow it down, but for good reason: it's outright dangerous to sell someone a device you claim to help monitor their health that does no such thing. Even worse, selling people's private health details (as sketchy as they may be) to whoever wants, or just making them public for hackers, is a much bigger detriment than any tech on the horizon can bring as a positive.
I don't read section 3.3(i) as preventing criticism of performance, rather it prohibits the release performance benchmarks without further permission from Atlassian.

Having been on the receiving end of competitors running 'benchmarks' on a service I worked on, and the trumpeting the very contrived and out of context figures, I can understand why Atlassian is trying to prevent it from happening to them.

Pity that it probably won't work.

The idea that Facebook “works on privacy”, and that this guy is going to “work on privacy” elsewhere now, is the most facetious thing ever. It’s like saying that Trump’s legal team led by Giuliani “works on election integrity”.
I hope that advocates of purchasing power parity comparisons are prepared to factor in implicitly consumed but not easily purchasable goods. Otherwise, they would miss out on many of the things that truly matter in life.

For example, in the EU, my middle class neighbors’ children safely bike and ride the train to and from their excellent publicly funded schools, after school activities, and friends’ houses requiring little to no adult supervision while in transit.* What do private schooling, chauffeurs, and security personnel cost in the US, anyway?

*Of course, COVID does interfere somewhat with this, but this is true worldwide.

They could have used Facebook if they wanted to write a longer post, but they wanted the audience from Twitter. Aside from that they are a private person, not a public good and can do whatever they like. Be it not announcing a job change at all or printing and distributing flyers or something in between.
Thanks for sharing this. She also mentions not affording university but that is besides the point.

I think there are two issue, Low gross salaries in EU(which I agree with you), and high taxes in the EU(Which the twitt justifies and I agree).

For the first issue, I am all for better and more fair wages in EU, but that is a completely different topic with different dynamics.

Just one question as I am genuinely curious, when poor people get hospitalized or can not work and have to rest at home, do they receive any payment due to their job? Do they get terminated? Do they receive a social payment of sorts? Even if they don't pay the medical bills, can they afford to get by without family/community support?

For more context see my other reply about a friend having stomach issues.
Slice it kind of thin, marinate in soy sauce, maple syrup and a dash of smoked paprika for a couple of hours (at least). Bake it for 20 minutes in the oven. Tasty.
In an ideal world it probably would!

WebAssembly only provides very minimal capabilities, anything more complicated than basic arithmetic and linear memory access require the features to be built. malloc, closures, arrays, error throwing, GC etc. all must be implemented. Some language features like console logs and visual output physically aren't possible, and must call out to the host ( normally JS ). Requiring the compiler to emit 2 languages.

In comparison JS has analogues to many common language features, making it easy to transpile to. There are other advantages to JS as well, but probably not worth listing.

It's complicated, and emitting JS is easier.
amusingly, Mullis got high on LSD while at Berkeley, went to Golden Gate Park, and wrote a paper about universal time reversal that got published (single author!) in Nature. Boy, publishing was a lot easier then.

> Yeah I think you nailed it there actually. That's exactly their modus operandi.

They're following the "rules" from "The Cathedral and the Bazaar", remember. Specifically, the "Release early and often" bit, for the purposes of this conversation. Microsoft are considered "good open source citizens" because of the changes they've made to follow the written non-rules as well as the the unwritten rules.

If you're going to fault Microsoft for following the rules, fault EVERYONE ELSE that does it as well.

I want people to realize that they crap on Microsoft hard for things that they gladly accept from other developers or other companies. The double standards in the IT community are absolutely insane.
Twitter even worse for society? How?
So the language highlighted here is:

(i) publicly disseminate information regarding the performance of the Cloud Products;

But can we take a minute to talk about the combination of these two :

(h) use the Cloud Products for competitive analysis or to build competitive products;

(j) encourage or assist any third party to do any of the foregoing.

Does this mean as a jira user I can’t help build a jira competitor for a client of mine ( we are a tech agency). If this is the case I would really have a hard time using jira and being compliant. After all, who is the arbiter on what jira is exactly?But does this also mean people can’t do reviews on the platform as means to compare to other platforms? I’m a bit speechless here, it’s a wtf sort of thing.
>Well meaning no doubt, but relationship quality just doesn't lend itself to quantisation like that.

Granted, but sometimes you can find proxies and variables that increase the likelihood of success if you hit them consistently. For example, what's "successfully land an aircraft"? It's a sequence of hitting certain parameters within certain time windows that, when you do that, result in a smooth, successful, landing. Successful landing is a "lagging indicator".

There are many things, even in "artistic performance", that are a sequence of consistently hitting a target within a certain tolerance, at a specific time, etc.

In the workplace, you may have the problem of having a quality relationship with your colleagues or "reports". You may not be able to "quantify" that easily, but you can have regular one on ones in a relaxed enough setting that lead to candid conversations that unearth problems early enough that you can effectively solve them. The relationship quality is a lagging indicator, if you will, of what has been done upstream.

What do you think?
Asking companies not to retain PII is like asking a crack addict to please ignore the crack pipe and torch while you step out for an hour. The only solution is to make PII radioactive. Tax it. Burn companies that abuse it or leak it to the ground. HIPAA is a fucking nightmare but companies still figure it out:
Like most things, the people who the system works for fine don't complain about it and those it fails for do complain about it.
Interesting.

But the slides still find evidence of recidivism using a less biased offender-based analysis. Moreover they find that the people are still more likely to return to prison the longer they have stayed in prison. The numbers are lower, but are definitely there. Ancestor’s claim about prisons creating criminals still stands.

Then there is the issue of low level drug offenders returning to prison for violent crimes in the next round. It would be interesting to see the numbers on that.
I've been trying for years to remember details about a game I very briefly played online in 1989; with luck, perhaps this series will cover it.

Why? Does F have a monopoly on speaking of power structures?
Have you developed in this environment? I have developed more than 20 sites in WSL1, all with PG as the DB. I have it running in the same machine in windows for developemnt(which you are running otherwise you wouldnt be in WSL).Instead of using "localhost" you use "127.0.0.1" in your configuration, that's it.
It’s often hard to make it not be. Heck, the fonts themselves are probably Turing complete.
I seem to remember that back in the sweet usetobe before the internet one of the big catsup companies (Heinz? Hunts?) started suing restaurants for the common practice of watering down their catsup bottles that sat at the customer table. The catsup company was worried about people forming a negative intial impression of their product based on the watered down bottles. The restraunts argument was that once they bought the catsup bottle they were free to do what they wanted with it.

Don't know how that suit came out but this seems like the same deal here.
Company IT policies. Can't make *nix the main OS, can't easily dualboot, and running the dev workspace in a VM is slow.

The answer, at least in my case, has been using Windows where I must and WSL for whatever I can.
If FB had intuitively decided that too many positive posts had a negative effect on users (as contemporary research was suggesting) and amplified negative post visibility, there’d be no controversy. If FB decided intuitively that positive posts were good and they should reduce visibility on negative posts, there’d be no controversy.

Since FB A/B tested the effect of both and let academics analyze the data, that somehow means they are demonic.

Is it weird that I would want a therapist who had also taken psilocybin? Preferably many times. It feels like it would be demeaning to have someone who approached it in a clinical and proscribed manner.
Britain kept schools open after the first lock down. That now appears to have been a mistake. I expect they will close them now. In the US we are gearing up to put kids back in school in person despite the UK variant also spreading here. Worse yet is that vaccines haven't been tested in kids.

So as we sit here on a precipice contemplating about what to do, I do know that kids aged 12+ can get the monoclonal antibody treatments so if your kids develop symptoms get them tested so they can be treated.

Younger kids are still SOL I think...

From the CDC, you can turn the plot lines off and on on the left hand side. Focus on the growth rate in pediatric population. The trend in age group 0-4 is disturbing.

I once rented an IR camera for roughly 100€. This is probably the best option for people who only need IR cameras on very few occasions.

Will we ever see chap(ish) IR cameras? Is there an alternative to germanium lenses on the horizon?
Fair enough. They surely don't support tcc directly anyway. So, what I really meant was "informal hacker community support" (probably on jail broken/rooted devices when/where applicable!), not "official company support" and I didn't mean to suggest zero work would be involved..Just not a complexity explosion like C++.
I didn't ask you to lint my code (or server) though.

There's plenty of cases where a .git directory is just harmless; I've deployed simple static sites by just cloning the repo, and this probably exposed the .git directory. But who cares? There's nothing in there that's secret, and it's just the same as what you would get from the public GitHub repo, so whatever.

That some linting tools warns on this: sure, that's reasonable.

That random bots start emailing me about this without even the slightest scrutiny because it might expose my super-duper secret proprietary code: that's just spam and rude.

> Medicaid is not "free" there are requirements, but assuming you qualify, there are hidden costs.

There are low, published co-pays, similar to Italy.

The example you're quoting is for Medicaid nursing home care, a very expensive program with a distinct set of requirements: https://www.medicaidplanningassistance.org/medicaid-look-bac...

> When a senior is applying for long-term care Medicaid, whether that is for services in one’s home, an assisted living residence, or a nursing home, there is an asset (resource) limit. In order to be eligible for Medicaid, one cannot have assets greater than the limit. Medicaid’s look-back period is meant to prevent Medicaid applicants from giving away assets or selling them under fair market value in an attempt to meet Medicaid’s asset limit.

Italy does not have universal long-term care for the elderly: http://www.ancien-longtermcare.eu/sites/default/files/ENEPRI.... Like the U.S., it has some support for lower-income people who need long-term care.
