You're the one referencing "magic". The main thing I'm getting from your response is the standard retort whenever anybody complains about the problems arising from corporate scale - "but anyone can start a corporation". This is technically true, but completely dodges that issue of scale. If there were non-incorporated groups of thousands of people coming together and doing similar things we would need different criteria, but there are not.

As for the encryption topic, then perhaps the scope of anti-lobbying should include government agencies as well. I certainly don't trust big tech to defend my personal digital rights, and the fact that we're looking to them to be our saviors is itself a major problem. They seem to be aligned with us at the moment, but ultimately mandated communications escrow would be another competitive moat for them. I expect that to shift if there is a serious move (back) to p2p apps.

I agree on the congressional process, but not to the exclusion of other approaches.
Another way to think about this is that even if you built a product to scratch your own itch, you may not be your own ideal customer. In that case, your instincts on pricing could be way off.

You might be cost-sensitive and look for a good deal when buying tools and infra to support your own projects. But buyers at larger companies aren’t spending their own money, so their thought process is very different.

As long as the price fits in the budget and isn’t an outlier compared to other products they pay for, then it’s not going to be what they focus on. They’ll care much more about quality, trustworthiness, ease of integration, support, and things like that.

That’s why putting your price at the high end of the 'acceptable' range is a win-win. You don’t leave money on the table, and you make an implicit commitment to high quality and good service, which the customers you really want value more than a bargain.
So unless you know the proportion of good reviews to no. of visits there’s no way for you to compare places? Odd.

Integrating with Flare: Lighting the way to a better gaming ecosystem
You may have answered your own question. Users of the website prefer speed while owners of the website prefer features. Maybe the site owners are not listening to users or believe they are building something that is better than speed and the users will be won over in the end?
Things can get nasty even before you add any electronics. The vast majority of sex toys is produced in China with little incentives for good quality control. Before you put sensitive areas of your skin with dyed material, it would be good to be sure of its composition - but you can only trust what the manufacturer says is true. Then comes the issue of combining the right type of material with the right type of lubricant. And, last but not least, many lubricants contain substances that are not completely health-neutral. Many even don't have the list of components listed on the label. You can just hope for the best.

At first glance, there's a lot of words and not many examples. It's hard to quickly see what's different and special about this version of Markdown, other than "it's a formal subset of the other formats".

I see some examples for specific elements, but I'd love to see "here's an example demonstrating the problem(s) this addresses", and "here's the fixed version of that example".

There could be sub-sections of contrasting examples, like in coding style guides, showing the Old/New (Bad/Good?) styles.

i think overall people are feeling a little burned by trump's anti-filter and rampant conspiracy theories that have taken hold recently and as such are retreating to respect for status and authority.

If I think an app deserves three stars, then I should give it a three star review, even if it currently has four stars.

If I say "well, this deserves three stars, so I'll give it a one-star review so as to pull the average closer to three" then I'm aiming to manipulate its rating, rather than rating it.

Note: I'm only guessing at Google's thought process here at the distinction between reviews and manipulation, and guessing at their detection algorithm; I'm not myself suggesting or implying that one-star reviewers are always engaging in manipulation. Of course you could honestly think an app deserves one star. The difference is unknowable to an outside observer. Only you can really know whether you're being honest, but that won't stop Google from assuming the worst.

> automate the sending of expired inspection sticker tickets

I think that's an excellent use of the technology. These are minor offences that would be too expensive and burdensome to pursue individually by hand. If it were enforced reliably, almost nobody would do be doing it.

People get charged a late penalty for not paying their power bill. It's enforced with 100% reliability. But expired inspection tickets is less obnoxious because you can just stop driving your car when it becomes illegal to do so. You can't just return electricity you already used but haven't paid for yet.

If you believe people should drive cars without safety certifications, that's a different issue. In that case, the solution isn't haphazard enforcement but no enforcement at all.
That's not how it works. For food, one person enters the data from the label on the back, other people scan the barcode with their camera and it's added as consumed. That's how MyFitnessPal works, as well as alternatives that use OpenFoodFacts under the hood. For other types of data, you have other aggregators that are used for a specific use case (Pocket for Articles, Last.fm for music, Trakt.tv for shows/movies, Goodreads for books, various device trackers for steps/heart rate/sleeping patterns etc).

Then you use tools that combine those things together, like Exist.io. Alternatively, you go through a middleman route like Zapier/IFTTT/Integromat/NodeRed to not have to fuck around with each API separately. Then you use a system that visualises it all.

Granted, there are some blind spots that will make you have to enter the data manually (example: with Netflix you have to manually download a CSV, and it only includes the title and a date, not the time of the day nor the watch time), but that's really not that time consuming. It takes me about two minutes per day to fill in the missing fields in my system, and I spend a few hours every two months or so fucking around with the data to find some correlation that I simply wouldn't be able to find otherwise.
And how many people were needed to arrest people who were clearly innocent? The answer is : Many people needed to be willing to help.
Per my comment above - those industries tend to be government protected in a variety of different ways, and with all the fundamentals (sustainable company culture, most capital expenditures done, capital available as needed). It's essentially a sheltered niche.

Germany is also quite 'stodgy' and not adopting many of the changes (social, technical, etc.) until things have been worked out. Which just isn't the way the US works.

For better or worse, the US is the wild west in these issues. You end up with companies overextending themselves and blowing up (not just here of course), or companies not pushing hard enough and getting swallowed by or crushed by competitors - churn is harder, faster here, as is the adoption of new ideas.

There is a reason Germany has essentially zero interesting tech companies, and it isn't because engineers don't like beer.

Nice! Reach out if there are any problems or if you need something exposed in the API. Looking at the pyahocorasick issue tracker, there are a number of features/bugs that your wrapper package would resolve. :)
True, but it seems that most of the current reviewers think that it should have 1 star, so giving 1 star reviews isn't an example of this kind of manipulation.

I had a SaaS vendor that followed that trajectory. The technical team was very dedicated but the president didn't even pretend to care about existing customers. The cost of leaving was assumed to be so high that he said out loud that they added features only to attract new business.

Could you elaborate on what you mean by "different type of user"? Just curious.
> it's clearly poor for a more advanced province.

It has to. For political reasons.

The transfer payments equation basically dictates how much it should spend. If the province got richer it would end up in a situation where it pays more than receive from the federal government. Just imagine the constant electoral adds "instead of hiring X teachers we were forced by the feds to write a check to Newfoundland or some other money pit".
Linkdd's point is about the complexity required from the developer, not the complexity required from the user. They are two different things.

That is of course not to say that the developer is worse for it, far from it: a developer that can create a complex game based on simple rules is a better developer imo. But that doesn't mean the rules (and therefore programming them) aren't simple.
It's weird to me how the designers/developers behind this homepage globe basically copied dozens of other startups who already "conceived" (from their own respective vantage points) and implemented this visual storytelling device as some unique expression of their own "brand story". You can find spinning globes with pings and arcs like this on at least 10+ different websites that have been around for 5+ years. You can even license it from places like https://globekit.co. Hell, even Stripe has one on their homepage, and they were late to the game on cashing in on this visualization. At least they're not self-aggrandizing it.

Sure, talk about your data pipelines or whatever else seems technically engaging, but let's not pretend what you're doing was the result of some stroke of artistic genius in manifesting the spirit of some slideshow presentation your colleagues.

Jason Hinkel's article raises some good points but is hardly a valid rebuttal. It's extremely weak. I'm still firmly on the side of Pinker's narrative, which clearly fits the data far better.

(1) Hinkel falsely concludes that "The poverty rate has worsened dramatically since 1981", using a graph of the number of people in poverty (which increases by ~31% between 1981 to 2013) as justification. The rate did not increase. The rate decreased according to his own graph! The population increased by 59% over that same time period, so the correct conclusion from his own data is that the poverty rate actually reduced over that same time period.

(2) Not only is poverty better, but almost every other meaningful metric (disease/mortality/war deaths/crime deaths) is also better, which he hand-waves away in a single paragraph after falsely asserting that the poverty rate has gone up!

It is borderline dishonest, or perhaps at best he is innumerate. If this is the best rebuttal then I am even more confident in the conclusion that things are getting better - MUCH better - aside from a number of existential tail risks that we need to mitigate.

If google is only removing reviews from people who first installed the app yesterday, they should say exactly that, and that's fair
About composability since I've taken to fuzzing I've been improving my gdb chops and now I mostly write gdb scripts if the program is not too long to run, or I just use a simple bisect script with with core dump checkpointing and detecting changes of whatever I'm interested in. With a large tmpfs it's quite fast and modular.

If I'm doing real-time, Intel PT is great, especially if you can afford the signal-shit happening when dumping core (you get Intel PT trace in core dumps now and gdb supports them if compiled with...)
Ok, let's assume they shorted at 10$, they lost 3 Billion at 65$ (and say they closed the position)

So, the stock needed to be bought back was worth 3 billion at 65$, reduce the 10$ per share it was shorted at and you get 3000M/55 = 54M shares.

Total stock float of GME is ~64M, so the short % was ~80%

You see how it's way off of the 14%? (and close to impossible to close out of?)

If they did not get out then they would be very bankrupt right now.
Extremely simplified answer:

You know how a microscope makes a small image really big? You can also do the same in reverse -- take a big picture and project it really small.

This isn't to do with the article but I really think book piracy cannot be managed. The uploaded epubs are so tiny that there's absolutely no hosting issue. There's no DRM/watermarking for scanning a physical book into digital. I don't think anything can be done. Luckily many people prefer to read/own physical books anyway.

> no arbitrary nesting

What are the restrictions? For example, I care about these (off the top of my head):

1. Can I nest a block quote in another block quote?
2. Can I nest a block quote in an (ordered or unordered) list? (And vice versa?)
3. Can I emphasize some text inside a strong? (and vice versa?)
Depending on where you live, there might only be one.
> Free speech has nothing to do with it. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

That doesn't make sense. Any restrictions on speech (e.g. prohibiting lying in commercials, prohibiting yelling fire in a crowded room, etc.) always need to go through the lens of whether there is a "legitimate government interest", because the courts have been very clear that any restrictions on speech much have a clear rationale. If the SEC wants to argue that posts on a public website forum are somehow collusion, they need to argue why those posts are not protected by the first amendment.

Of course, it's easy to come up with a clear rationale for why one would limit speech in this case, and "commercial" speech is much more open to restrictions. However, I don't see how one could argue "I'm buying a shit ton of GME, and I think you should too, because I want to screw over the hedge fund guys" is any different, just because it's on a forum, from all the other types of investment advice and theories that goes out all the time.

Probably some did that. But Google removed ALL negative reviews, not only from people who did the above. That's the problem.

If RobinHood tells me how clearing houses work, they have a huge reason to lie to me.

If there are enough mechanisms of "Crony Capitalism" at play, to cause most of the trading apps in existence to halt trading, this is definitely something that needs to be investigated.

Likewise, if there are enough of these crony mechanisms involving collusion between Facebook, Twitter, Square, Stripe, and Visa targeting people, this also warrants investigation. It seems to be part and parcel the same sort of thing.

People have been calling stuff like this out since the 80's!

If you have money and you want to pay more for the same thing you are more then welcome to shop around. But just because what ever premium brand name store you use is "better" because it costs more, doesn't mean it isn't the same thing as Walmart.

Pricing is not as simple as "charge more" because it increases the premium factor by applying a this costs to much for me so it must be good factor.

There are hundreds of other factors you need to consider and I don't think applying a double my price equals success to your pricing schema always makes sense.
Your Apple iOS device still doesn't let you:

- figure out if and when your apps are active
- figure out if your apps using the network
- figure out what sites are they contacting
- block network access

Additionally apple collects tons of data. On iOS it is not blockable. Even coarse data like your zipcode can be used to raise prices.

On macos, they may have updated it so the third-party Little Snitch can block apple traffic (untested).

Even anonymous data shouldn't be collected without asking. And as google is showing, a fingerprint be deduced from imperfect data.
> "when you vote for a particular candidate, you actually think you're impacting the overall vote in a particular direction?"

I absolutely don't.
The UI is fairly simple, the engine is fairly complex, with a lot of interactions between different parts.

I don't think most games struggle because their UI is complex, or because user behavior is complex (there's really only so many things a player can do, especially general ones -- most variety of interactions are "scenes", entirely captured within themselves). At least, most AAA bugginess isn't usually found in their UI. And graphics aren't the complexity generally -- they're just visual artifacts of the engine itself failing.

Sometimes shooting for enterprise customers doesn't work. Some products need the little guy to survive, not global international enterprise companies.
It's down to minutiae in the collateral brokers have to post to ensure that the clearing house doesn't eat losses. Trades on Wednesday aren't settled until Friday, so if a brokerage firm dies in the interim they have an obligation to complete a bunch of trades that they might not have cash for, and unwinding that exposes counterparties to the price moves in the interim. RH users have been buying a lot of meme stocks that move a lot in price, so they have to put up vast amounts of funds to ensure that nobody else suffers losses if they were to back out of the unsettled trades.
It's a good effort, but I'm afraid it isn't a good fit for me, three things stand out:

1) the use of # rather than underline for headings. That why I feel you loose the beauty of the source form - headers disappear visually without a smart editor - if you demand a smart/wysiwyg editor anyway... Might just use a sgml/xml/html subset.

2) one symbol references. This strikes me as overly limiting - why not alphanumeric string - or at the very least any number string? It feels a bit strange to be forced to count 1,2...9,a - and not be able to things like a1, a2, b11.

3) "no way to put backticks inside a code span." So, no (full) examples of restricted markdown in codeblocks? Not to mention the many languages that use backticks?

I think you might be happier with reStructuredText than markdown: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReStructuredText

Right, but the simulation isn't as complex as simulating rain in a 3D game or whatever.

Nobody is arguing that Factorio doesn't have complexity. But do you really think a one-man team could create Cyberpunk 2077?

A one-man team built Minecraft which includes Redstone, which allows for some amazing complexity. But that doesn't make it more complex (dev time wise) than an AAA FPS.
