I'm not a Google engineer, but this doesn't feel like an "Are we the baddies" moment to me: giving a small group within the W3C the ability to block any technical proposal — including from the article what seems to be as far-reaching as all existing IoT proposals — feels like it strips the W3C of what little utility it has left. If the W3C mandates that everyone has to stop making IoT stuff, it seems unlikely that Google (or anyone else) would stop... Presumably the only thing that would stop would be meaningful W3C discussions about the proposals before they get shipped and become de facto standards, leading to an ever more siloed, fractured web.

W3C has repeatedly shot itself in the foot with sweeping mandates that major vendors oppose and which are then ignored; that's the reason we now have the separate WHATWG org and the reason W3C no longer leads much in terms of browser standards. Adding more mandates from tiny players (e.g. Brave) doesn't feel super useful, even if the group is supposedly focused on privacy — although the article even notes that at least part of the desire of the group was for "rivals to limit or handicap the ability of Google to compete against them."

Ah yeah, this is very different from rent-control as American left-NIMBY's advocate.

There's some more information here: https://www.globalpropertyguide.com/Europe/Switzerland/Landl...

One important distinction: The amount of the initial rent can be freely agreed upon between landlord and tenant based on market rates. And most claims with the "conciliation" authority are unsuccessful. Because rents in Switzerland closely track the mortgage rate, it's derived from the market value of the purchased property, and rent increases are rarely blocked by the Federal government.

Research that establishes negative effects on housing markets caused by rent control usually analyze the Bay Area variety of rent control, not this quasi-mortgage-driven-market-based-rent-control-that's-rarely-enforced-meaningfully.

Arrowheads were not particularly rare or valuable. Smaller points can be made in 5-10 minutes by experienced knappers. The shaft and fletching take a bit more work, but any war group would have been constantly producing them.

I made a litmus test that an alarming number of people I've had recent discussions with cannot pass.

Basically it's about whether you can get them to agree with both of the following statements:

1) X-ism should not exist.
2) X-ists have a fundamental right to exist.

Point number one is perfectly reasonable as should be point two.
The really scary authoritarians flat out deny point number two, but most people will start equivocating or scream at you because you don't want to punch X-ists.

This is a growing problem that society needs to find a solution to quickly. Denial of point 2 leads to mass murder of people for thought crime. Still some people seem okay with this.

And I just want to point out before I get tons of hate that it's perfectly acceptable to give X-ists consequences for their _actions_. Not their private thoughts.

I help maintain ReScript. That it _seems_ to change the way code is approached is an artifact of an early community excited to try FP concepts in it. Nothing wrong with that; however, the ReScript team (me included) don't really approach things this way. Our goal, outlined at (https://rescript-lang.org/docs/manual/latest/introduction), is to provide:

- a more solid type system
- and a much faster compilation speed (a growing pain in TS projects)
- to write mainstream code
- for products (as opposed to a focus on intermediate FP libraries)

The fact that it leverages some FP concepts here and there is just a mean, not the end.

The marketing of this is really hard, because FP usually attracts the crowd you'd expect, at the expense of several of the above emphasis. But we're still working toward it.

Having seen some ReScript codebases in the wild, I definitely know where your team comes from. We do try to approach it with the "different TypeScript" angle, but understandably userland doesn't always write code the way we'd like to recommend.

No, it voted for becoming a state, under the terms set for the 2-question referendum.

This is great, silencing disinformation... or maybe not.

On one march friday, facebook would silence the "conspiracy theorists" claiming you should wear a mask, because our 'experts' (and american too, and WHO and many others) said, that wearing a mask for covid is useless.

Then, on the next day, our government mandated masks and gloves in every indoor location (stores,...), and facebook would silence the people claiming masks are useless.

I suspect they were already conversing in Welsh before you walked in.

In fact, I've sat in many different pubs in North Wales, but not once did I switch from English to Welsh when someone walked in. I'd have no idea what languages they were capable of, and in any case would never be speaking in English with other Welsh speakers.

I’ve noticed that Left-NIMBYs tend to be anti-roads when asked (as opposed to anti-mass transit).

In the SF bay area, that leads to repeated, expensive right-NIMBY projects that either further sabotage mass transit:

- instead of building parallel, incompatible tracks, why can’t we synchronize all 6 train systems so it is possible to transfer between them at rush hour?

- Why do we have bike lanes on most bridges, but only half of the bay bridge between SF and Oakland?

- no bart to marin, no closed loop bart

or left-NIMBY projects to sabotage the road network:

- removing surface street lanes on trunk roads

- switching normal lanes to toll lanes

- kicking cars with two-people in them out of the HOV lane

- setting light cycles to two minutes during rush hour

- discouraging left lane fast, right lane slow.

And so on.

Indeed. Consider whether you might be able to validate the idea without writing code, by outsourcing dev, or building your mvp with low-code / no-code. By validate I mean (1) people will part with real $ for something that's a pretty basic mvp, and (2) there's also a reasonable possibility of it paying your bills. At that point, take the leap (it's always a leap!), roll up your sleeves, and allow yourself to do the deep work to make it successful. If you see early indicators of a successful side business, don't wait too long to leap!

It's Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act, aka FAA702, cited in Apple's transparency report as FISA (they turned over 30,000+ users' data without a warrant in 2019), and better known to the general public by its internal NSA codename of PRISM, thanks to Ed Snowden telling us that this is the primary, #1 source of information used by NSA spies.

Apple wasn't lying when they said they "had never heard of PRISM"—until Snowden, it was not known by that name outside of the NSA/IC.

It is regularly used against US users, in the US, as well as people in other countries. Snowden cited this use (resulting from a classified, private interpretation of FAA702 made by the classified FISA court) against US citizens as one of his main reasons for going public in the summer of 2013 with the fact that this is happening.

Tragically, I agree with you and I wish it weren't so.

I would only add that democracies seem to be at their most stable when inequality is at a minimum and everyone is treated with decency, fairness and respect.

It seems to me that since the early 1980s we've veered from this course and we need to correct it. We need review and renew our ethics along those lines and to do so we need trust and honesty from everyone especially bureaucrats and politicians. What I'm afraid of is that we've not the collective will to do so.

A webbrowser is not something most people can or will switch out easily. Google could any day they want rewrite an API that brave depends on (like one used by adblockers) and it would instantly have caught lots of Barve users with a Bad Browser, many not knowing. Brave lives even more on the whim of Google than Mozilla does. It's like using Windows 10 with telemetry ripped out instead of switching to Linux. Good enough for some, not for all, bad to depend on in the long run for most.

There's also a long lead up time to opening up a new fab. If you have just proved out your process, it might be tempting to duplicate that but when you're chasing the cutting edge as these markets are, there's a real opportunity cost to consider in scaling out your now "mature" process vs chasing the next big leap.

> it strips the W3C of what little utility it has left

You hit on it right there. There is no more such a thing as "web standards" that the W3C can agree on and push forward. There are "web standards" that Google wants and that's it. If the W3C ratifies them, great. But really it doesn't matter at all.
When someone who lives in another state and has no interest in the affairs of San Francisco tells me it's racist to build apartments in a Filipino neighborhood if those apartments would cast a shadow on a basketball court at sunset on the hottest days of the year, I have a really hard time coming up with a belief system to attribute to them that isn't obviously wrong. At the very least it seems like they don't have a very good idea of whether a person who's playing basketball in the hotter part of the day on the hottest day of the year would like some shade or not.

If someone complains that we cannot build housing because there is not enough infrastructure and someone else complains that we cannot build additional infrastructure because the current residents do not need it, they may both have coherent belief systems, but some trouble is afoot that need not be.
Reading the comment thread that arose from your comment reminded me, and maybe you'll appreciate this...

I like to view competition as a form of collaboration, for example:

When companies compete, they compete in a collaboration we call the market.

When sports teams compete, whether as groups or individuals, they compete in a collaboration we call the game, or even a tournament.

When the other side is beating you, you might look at their strengths and weaknesses, their knowledge and ability, and work out if there's anything you can learn, how to adapt your behaviour to strengthen your position.

Employees, or players, can move from one company to another, through hiring or acquisitions, bringing skills and experience with them. Here we have companies competing for employees, and then those employees collaborating anew.

Or a company might license certain IP from another, this is a form of collaboration too.

In this sense, collaboration and competition aren't necessarily opposing paradigms, they can be tools to apply to the situation.
Friends trump enemies. Survival of any individual is maximized when working with others. Whether that individual is a cell, a multicellular lifeform, a country, or a multi-system species. Dominating all others is a poor bet compared to being friendly.

> from approaching a doctor to receiving medical treatment from a GIC being 7+ years

Ah, I can't believe I managed to put this down wrong.

There are two required appointments from a GIC: First a psychiatric assessment from a therapist, Second an appointment with an endocrinologist. The timeline until the first appointment is approximately 3 - 7 years, and then you need to wait up to 2 years (At least, I've heard word of people waiting that long) for the endocrinology appointment, and then finally, you will receive treatment.
I could not have put it better myself. Once a browser gets political, you can bet for others to join them. And allowing a browser to control what articles/arguments you see is allowing the company behind the browser to control you politically. I think we can all agree this would not end well.

A great many people would characterize SF as highly favorable to private, market-rate high-rise housing development. I think this would be inaccurate, but they would say it with sincerity.

I cannot find good maps on this particular subject, but I would venture to guess that much of NYC is not built of high-rises. It's likely mostly low-rises with a smattering of four to six story buildings built up to or exceeding current zoning. I would venture to guess that trying to get a parcel or an area up-zoned is a politically fraught and potentially quite expensive proposition.
>Privacy is as much about adding features as removing them

This is a perspective that's often missing from discussions surrounding web APIs. These APIs aren't just about what cool new things legitimate developers can do with them.

Dataflow doesn't require synchronization because vertices wait until there are values with the same tag on all their inputs before executing.

In pure tagged dataflow systems, asking a question doesn't happen: programs are directed graphs and like most other programming systems vertices have to wait for values. However, at a higher level, you could have vertices sending messages to one another and receiving answers back.
