This reminds me of when my great grandfather would talk about socialism. I believe in the 1950s the terminology got corrupted, or maybe he was always using some off shoot version of the terminology. What the socialism he and many protested for back in the day was for unions. The idea was to give control to the workers, so that living standards could increase. And you know what? It worked. From this the US saw its best years. When workers get paid more, they buy more. It boosts the economy, strengthens it, and from that we all end up with a better life.

Today 44% of US workers are low wage ($18,000 or less). Of this group the majority can not afford more than food, shelter, transportation, and clothing. This is not what a healthy economy looks like. Part of the challenge of paying people a living wage is land lords can and do up rent to match their income slowly over time. The free market is great when there is competition, but time and time again we see in markets where there is limited competition or limited resources, the market starts to fall down. So while socialism (ie unions and social services) at first seems to benefits us all, it does not benefit low income workers.

Without some sort of regulation on the housing market, blindly upping minimum wage will lead to a slow increase in living expenses. Unionizing has shown to work and work well for middle class jobs, but if the job is a near minimum wage job, while unions do help, it's unfortunately a complex problem. Without some sort of regulation there will always be some group of people struggling to make ends meet.

I'm not sympathetic. If you don't think you can do a good job at something due to factors outside your control, you can choose to not do it (refuse to support mac) or do a subpar job. If you choose the latter don't be surprised if users give you negative reviews. There's no participation trophies in business.
Yes and that makes me think. What if we could un-anonimise the internet for things like these. I think the anonymity of the internet makes trolls, toxicity, bullying and such much easier. Where if it’s your actual name that’s next to it, it influences your real life as well. Recruiters will search for your name on the internet and if you come off as a toxic bully, it’ll have consequences
China is a capitalist state - its economy is based on corporate profit.
If the word communism has any meaning it cannot apply to China.

I can't say for sure, whether China is fascist, as I don't know whether they are ultranationalist.

However, they definitely are authoritarian and are suppressing and murdering minorities or political opponents.
To be fair a huge chunk of the American population and leadership believe a woman had a child without being inseminated by a man, that all of the animals in the world fit on an a big boat and that the Earth was created a few thousand years ago. By comparison aliens stopping by for a cigarette break on earth at some stage in the past 4.7 billion years sounds more likely.

No. That's law enforcements job after following the correct protocols. My good fellow are you alright?
>"compliance with laws"

that is something that has to be proven in court, before playing any such cards

If that is the case and you defend it, then this is a very unique situation, where law is not enforced by state institution, but by Google, Apple and Amazon. The question is what law? As clearly it is not US law.

If there is breach to the law, then there should be article Nr of breached law, otherwise all of these arguments are nonsensical. Nowhere in the world - even in Saudi Arabia it is possible to be judged and sentenced by unwritten law - by nongovernmental entities. Otherwise it is unlawful lynching by mob and there are countries that allow those, but US kinda positioned themselves as a country that guarantees The Law. Now that guarantee does not work.
But compared to other organisations sharing their opinions? The others all seem to have abandoned balance, some more than others, obviously.

There are of course tools for that, password managers are ubiquitous in digital teams. But I also just loathe having so many accounts.

Even desktop software requires accounts these days. I tried to get started on a Unity project again and I spent an hour managing accounts for all the related software instead. Half my day is logging in and out of stuff.
I agree that keeping different usernames and passwords in your memory is not easy, but to my mind this is exactly the sue case for my password manager. I don’t need to sign in with Google because it’s just a couple of clicks to generate a username and a password I never need to remember because my password manager does that for me.

Are you saying that the ones who take this pandemic serious also take the "ghastly future of mass extinction" serious?

I oppose this 100%, I take the "ghastly future of mass extinction" very serious and my solution would be to introduce a close to zero birthrate of the extremely overpopulated species of Homo Sapiens. I do not however take this pandemic serious at all and it is NOTHING compared to what is and will happen in the "ghastly future".

We are living in a planetary wide human farm, they told us this was gonna happen! And it will happen again and again until we have devoured the planet.

No, it is not solved. To solve it, you would need to investigate all possible continuations of the game, all the way until the game ends, but there are so many continuations that this is impossible.

Let's say you were Google and to "help" people, you were going to "login on their behalf" to "index and organize" their info. No need to obtain consent, just fake a login and scrape away.

The rest of us can replace with quoted words with 'exploit', 'hack', and 'sell their personal info on the market to the highest bidder' but when Google does it, its ok.
That looks like Dell's Dynamic Tuning, which also dynamically adjusts performance. Except Dell still sells models with higher end processors that their cooling simply can't handle.

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Dell-Dynamic-Power-Policy-A-lo...

The result is hilarious: Dell's own machines with a lower end processor have equal or higher performance compared to the same models with higher end CPUs.

This is actually part Intel's fault, as with TurboBoost their processors with the same core count have nearly the same performance, so it makes little sense to pay $100-200 more for a "higher end" CPU unless it has more cores.

This is a simplified analysis. On balance, I don't think there is any consistent moral basis for objecting to space travel that is based on not accidentally destroying non-Earth life. Did you have a specific objection in mind?

Saying, "It is immoral to risk destroying non-Earth life," would not be enough. One argument is a sort of recursive argument that humans are the best hope for Earth life in the long term, they are also the best hope for solar system life in general. All solar system life is equally doomed—albeit at potentially longer timescales than Earth life.
The name is based on an early paper from the 50s [0]. Global warming is an Algore rebranding that got lots of public awareness. Once the science took over it was back to climate change again. But yeah you are right. A lot of people just attack the used language and then shout "deception" when people are just talking colloquially because explaining everything from scratch gets very tiring eventually.

The problem with climate change deniers is that they refuse everything so you have to actually explain everything from scratch time and time again. That's part of the strategy. Look for tiny mistakes and then deny the whole thing.

Clarifying that one is talking about anthropogenic climate change instead of just "regular" climate change is a pretty good example. Ultimately the difference is meaningless because non anthropogenic climate change is insignificant on human time scales. Give me 500 years to prepare and I won't care. Give me 50 years and I will always fail.

The worst part is that I don't even see any long term benefits to denying climate change. Even if it was completely fictional I still don't see any reason to not adopt technologies that would ultimately reduce the impact of climate change. Coal is a dying industry because of the economics. Oil is too precious to burn in cars (planes and ships are good use cases though). There is a general lack of investments to put central bank money into.

Oh, did I just say "climate change denier"? I obviously mean "climate change skeptics". (I am awaiting a response that skeptic is also wrong)

What is often? I have a hard time believing retail establishments with razor thin profit margins are rejecting profit unless the customer is likely causing them to lose money.

What if the data shows having a few drinks increases the likelihood of healthcare costs? Otherwise, people who don’t have a few drinks are subsidizing people who do have a few drinks.

There’s nothing “wrong” with driving more distance than someone else, but auto insurers have to charge more to someone that drives more, since that increases their risk of loss.
I think this is the core part where Signal decides what it wants to really be:

* A messenger for activists, whistleblowers and other people that might be hunted by governments.

* A decently secure messenger for everyone that provides an alternative to WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and other major corporate platforms.

Because in these cases those two goals are opposite - IME is the most fundamental way how people interact with a messaging app. Switchin it is very hard because users have muscle memory connected to an IME and IMEs vary wildly in their language support and typing experience,. Messing with it (blocking it, forcing people to use another) will make a lot of people refuse to use the app. Not messing with it will make activists mad and result in bunch of "Signal is crap for proper security" posts.

They need to choose. And sitting on both goalposts is the worst option here.
How to know if a business insurance will cover your claims?
I’m shopping for error & omission and cyber liability coverages for my small software business with an annual revenue in the low six figures. I both develop and sell my software myself. I contacted two different insurance brokers, and got two quotes for the same insurance carrier (Hiscox). Both quotes are for the same coverage level (1 million liability and 2,500 deductible), but the quote prices are drastically different. I’m wondering which one to choose and what would have caused such a difference.

The first broker quoted $600 and was able to generate the quote right away after asking me a short questionnaire over the phone. The second broker quoted $3,600 after I filled out a lengthy PDF application and waited for a week. (The second broker also quoted me another carrier – CFC – for $2,000.)

The $600 quote is tempting, but I want to make sure I’m actually getting a sound insurance with it. I’m worried that something could be wrong with the first insurance quote, like they didn’t actually understand my business, or the coverage is not what I think it is. If I do need to file a claim in the future, I don’t know if the insurance company would say "uh sorry, there was a mistake and we can’t cover this claim." Neither broker nor companies provided me with detailed plan documents, just 2-3 page quotes.... not sure if this is a red flag or common practice.

Also, I called Hiscox directly to ask about this, and to my surprise the rep claimed that they don't even cover software creators (only software resellers)...?! I'm hoping this is wrong since I think the second broker actually deals with SaaS's, so I'm calling them again tomorrow.

Any advice on how to get a sound business insurance policy is very much appreciated.
I suppose Alien doesn't cut it eh?
In the brief AWS references some messages and claims they are illegal but it is likely none would pass the Brandenburg test so all would be likely protected speech.

For example:
“We need to act like our forefathers did Kill [Black and Jewish people] all Leave no victims or survivors.”

Is very similar to the speech that caused the Brandenburg case. AWS also claims the messages are harmful and thus violate their acceptable use policy and I think AWS has a much stronger argument here. However, AWS hasn’t really clarified what harmful means in their policy at least in terms of speech. Harmful can be interpreted quite widely and Parker could argue this interpretation doesn’t make sense and the implied interpretation is harmful illegal content. For example a AWS hosting a business competing against another business is harmful to that other business.
Well, C/C++ historically had no separate dependency management making linux distributions effectively the de-facto package management for C/C++.

Other languages do have package managers and not using those is typically not a choice developers make.

I agree vendoring npm, maven, pip, etc. dependencies for the purpose of reusing them in other packages that need them (as opposed to just vendoring the correct versions with those packages) is something that probably adds negative value. It's just not worth the added complexity of trying to even make that work correctly. Also package locking is a thing with most of these package managers meaning that anything else by definition is the wrong version.

FUSE is not support by AWS Lambda, so we can't mount JuiceFS in Lambda.

Same to Fargate, we can not mount JuiceFS in Farget because of lacking FUSE permission, people are asking for it[1].

People used their voice to express their concern. Everyone dismissed them. They are the ones asking for a congressional oversight review and being rejected. They think something is being covered up. I thought the same way about 9/11 when it happened. It’s one of those believable far-fetched scenarios. But no one is legitimizing it and people are upset about it. Rather than be human about it we’re laughing them off then acting shocked and surprised when that group acts out.

For contrast, black people were claiming police abuse decades ago and the country turned a cheek towards it. Police abuse increased until technology put the power back in our hands. It’s very hard to look at where the protestors are coming from but it is very easy to dismiss it because of status quo.

Just a warning, and my downvotes are proving my point. No one wants to talk about it, they want to sweep ideas they don’t agree with under the rug. Just like my police encounters in the late 90s.

I’m sure at one point in your life you have said “my vote doesn’t matter, the president will be picked regardless of my input”. That’s what these people are upset about, and the solution seems about as attainable as politicians cracking down on abusive cops in the 1990s
> or manage them on a password manager

Can you expand on this? Having been a user of multiple password managers over the years (LastPass previously, BitWarden currently) and this is exactly why I use a password manager. I have at current count, 253 different logins/passwords all with different passwords (none of which I know) saved and accessing them is automatic in my browser and a quick search (on first time use) on Android. After that it's automatic.

Right, that would make more sense to me. Although it should be stressed that neither threefold repetition nor the 50-move rule work automatically. They need to be claimed by one of the players. If neither player does, the game can go on.

Rent control is almost always counter-productive. Real estate is subject to the same laws of supply and demand as everything else. The only way to make housing more affordable is to increase the supply. In certain highly desirable areas, it is always going to be difficult to increase the supply enough. Generally speaking, however, more housing = cheaper housing. (Expanding rapid public transportation can also help by giving workers quick access to larger regions, and more housing options.)

EDIT: Thanks to all for the good comments. I want to stress that I understand "just build more" (by which I really mean increase supply however you accomplish it) is often not a simple answer, but it is the ONLY strategy that has a hope of working to make housing more affordable.
