Very interesting story!

The title (Google being able to kill facebook) seems a bit exagerated though. If this app was so important (25 to 50% of all facebook revenues), and so important to customers (most powerful editor to manage ads), I'm sure if Google had disabled websql, they would have forked some older chrome / electron with websql support and bundle it with the app.
This is really cool - I wrote a letter to Randall Stephenson in college back when tethering wasn't built into phone plans. I wrote a parable of a man going to the baker, who has listed $100 for unlimited loaves of bread for a month. You buy it and walk outside. It's a beautiful summer day, you can't wait to use your 1 piece of unlimited bread. He sees you excitedly slicing the bread outside the bakery and putting some jam and butter right outside, admiring the pretty girls in summer dresses and you start to enjoy the moment.

Baker runs outside, steals the bread from your mouth and said "NO, if you want to use the bread for any sort of bread-related artifacts (bread pudding, sandwiches, croutons) you must pay the mandatory 15 dollar surcharge for every bread artifact produced" I was trying to relate it to tethering.

Anyways, the email is probably lost to the sands of time but I was so furious when this stuff was happening around 2011-2015 era. Wrote a solid 2000 words to Randall Stephenson. True asshole for how his reign oversaw the decline in quality in $T

Of course he retired last year with infinite money, so that's cool. Good for him. He should take up baking bread.

EDIT: I don't use AT&T anymore, Google Fi is alright. Please if any Googlers are watching, tell the Fi team to make a button that lets me delete all voicemails in one action. Had to delete 170 voicemails one by one yesterday and even after a glass of ouzo or three under the belt, by the time I had 35 left I was ready to just jump off a bridge. No, instead they probably are re-re-redesigning Gmail again, which much like theta decay I can feel killing me in the future. Seriously, every time you redesign Gmail I have to explain to my father where the buttons are. Priorities G-Men, please.
Can you give some examples of the fantastic failures?
It’s not a proof, but it makes logical sense: f-strings can be noted and compiled at runtime, whereas regular strings must be compiled every time string.format notices them. Maybe middling on one run, but reasonably useful in a long loop
Can you explain the irony? Just trying to get a feeling for the whole China thing.. For example I have noticed that some people have a lowly view of TikTok because it's Chinese. I understand the privacy aspect of it, I don't trust Chinas data policies myself (and slightly more trust ours or rather our ability to implement them securely), but is there also a factor of "the Chinese are getting really good at inventing things", too?
Maybe. Thanks, I could probably use some self-reflection.

(The anti-stress effect of covid vaccination seems to be much more immediate than I expected.

Also, the Y chromosome has slightly lower mass, and so the male sperm swim slightly faster.

I would suspect, though I haven't seen any studies, that some fertility treatment steps unintentionally have mass-sorting properties similar to the barrier diffusion Uranium enrichment technique used in the Manhattan Project.

TLDR: Facebook built the app responsible for their entire ad platform on a chrome-only tech (WebSQL), and when it was deprecated, instead of dropping in a widely-used polyfill, they decided to do a major 3yr rewrite risking 25% of their revenue in the process.

I guess this is the stupid shit that being "too big to fail" permits.

> So I worry - will we ever replace the crufty parts of POSIX[1]?

No, probably not, as much as I would love to, because there are still people who believe that POSIX's design ideals are to be aspired to, even as the world has aged heavily around them. The POSIX model and philosophies are very outdated, but as long as people see value in the nonsense that is "everything is a file" (except for all of the ones that you can only ioctl to) or "do one thing and do it well" (except text parsing, that famously secure and not at all haunted thing apparently belongs in every app), we won't see big shifts in production OS architecture. Maybe research kernels, but those don't run PostgreSQL installs.

I don't think that has anything to do with this complacency, however.
This is probably the only recourse in this new age of AI bots deciding human affairs:

- Seller is banned by an AI agent for arbitrary reasons. There is no reasonable phone recourse

- Seller tries to make a _human_ point in a blog post hoping it goes viral

- The blog post is noticed on different platforms and buzzword of AI wrong doing is amplified to a certain level

- If some arbitrary threshold of _human_ reaction is noticed on the social media, the company in the wrong will probably do something about its AI bot going haywire

Thus, the bot's common sense holes will be covered by collective wisdom of the crowds (which maybe, just maybe, will be integrated in the bot's training loop).

Sounds like classic trolling fare, as in: Mitt Romney's penis is only discussed in places where mention of his penis is frowned on. Given how many Americans think "hate speech" is a legally defined thing, I'd expect offensive language in any environment where there is a chance to remotely provoke a reaction. That is, unless Romney's penis is commonly discussed on amateur radio - in that case there is something much more interesting happening.
Eh? Firstly there are plenty of “natural” or organic epoxies that can decompose.

Secondly that’s not the point.

Glass is a very energy consuming process, it’s heavy and a PITA to transport and it’s also a very good heat conductor which means for insulation you need to use multiple glass sheets with an air barrier.

This material is lighter, it’s a way to sequester carbon, it seems to be less energy intensive both to produce and transport and provides better insulation from the get go.

If this can be developed as a drop in replacement for window glass alone it can likely save a lot of energy both in the manufacturing and then in the heating of homes.

Even if it’s not biodegradable not everything needs to be, most glass isn’t recycled either, and it’s not like glass recycling is a particularly cheap process.

The glass from your glass recycling bin is usually just crushed and added as a filler to other materials not melted to make new glass.

I wouldn't say GitHub is nicer or more polished than GitLab. Both have similar feature set ( GitHub did well to catch up after years of stagnating, with Actions, docker/package repositories, etc) even if GitLab still has an advantage there, good ecosystems ( GitHub has more tools integrating with it than GitLab), and both work and are fully polished.

>“I don’t know what I can do for the country,” he wrote in a letter to Chen. “Being proud of the achievements by the people’s efforts in the Motherland, I am regretful for not contributing anything.”

This is a virtuous sentiment, I'm not sure how it could not be. Chung never wanted to leave the mainland because he hated it or its people, politics saw to that. Chung never wanted to leave Taiwan because he hated Taiwan or its people, economics saw to that. He built a life in America, and he wanted a part in exporting the nation's knowledge and prosperity to the people he left behind who were rebuilding their homeland after nearly half a century of strife.

As the article stated, he was hardly an ultranationalist. He was leery of borders and nations. He perceived that China was improving by the metrics that mattered to him, and he wanted to help it along.

Bad for the US? Absolutely. Should he have been stopped? Absolutely, from my perspective.
And this is a passed down requirement, coming from the major advertisers. Google is simply enacting their will to never advertise on anything remotely related to a laundry list of taboos. I have a vague memory of something about this being in ToS (which I read ages ago, before joining the company) and I think we got smarter about this (preventing display on particular content; think like demonetising particular videos on YT).

That is because:

I suspect he has an ADSL connection and is far from the central office. Normally, I'd say the choices are wait for fiber, check with the cable company, or use 4/5G. I'll give him credit for running that ad, but I feel like some ISP would run fiber in an urban area for that kind of money. This feels just a little like complaining to AOL that your dialup is slow.
Actually it does - the experience of visiting Versailles, a sort of preserved museum that exist solely for tourism, is entirely different from visiting an actual royal palace. Despite the historical significance it was one of the least memorable places I’ve been to in France.
Not an US citizen but the issue with police is that for a start in every country that I know of, they are not your equal law-abiding citizen when wearing a uniform. Most of the time, they have law tools allowing them to arrest, fine you, etc. if they feel threaten, being at risk or insulted and only by their own appreciation. Nobody will review their appreciation and to contest such case, it fail on you side to make all the necessary steps to contest (best case scenario if you don't end up dead on the street).

So being live streamed without consent is first and foremost a citizen tool to overwatch the police's action and honestly you don't have anything else allowing to do that in real-time. Policemen are not backed in a corner when filmed, they are acting in broad light. It may seems adversely but police proved since decades that they always took the violent path when interacting with people one way or the other and giving policeman the power to take it down on people profiled or randomly is a repeated proof. If great powers comes with great responsibilities, an uniform does not seem to come with a way to enforce the later.

This is a nice introduction to proof search.

A clarification: a rule is invertible if when the conclusion is provable, each of the premises is. The most important example of a non-invertible rule is weakening:

Gamma |- Delta Gamma |- Delta
----------------- -----------------
Gamma, A |- Delta Gamma |- Delta, A

The point about applying invertible rules eagerly is why proof systems designed for proof search are formulated so that most of the rules are invertible, and use of non-invertible rules can be pushed up the deduction as far as possible: in the case of weakening, the rule can be pushed so it appears before all others.
The whole point of it is that it's such a massive thing with tons of (fairly amateur) people partaking as well. If you just want to skate for 200 km you can go to one of the colder countries and do it every year.
Large businesses do not generally seek to enforce their rights against the police as the police are responsible for breaking the law to keep those businesses humming away.

Indeed, many businesses large and small give free goods and services to the police for exactly this reason.
It really matters on time and location. I've been going on two way lanes in the night where the average speed on the left lane was 180km/h and on the right lane probably 120km/h. This is probably the most secure and comfortable situation for speeding.

One thing which bothers me when people talk about going fast with their cars is that it really depends on your car. I've seen high-end cars with 6 gears where the engine is absolutely relaxed when going 150km/h, especially with a Diesel. One popular example are Mercedes Sprinter, who really need very few fuel even for large speeds. Other cars (not neccessarily smaller, but for instance with petrol engine and also 6 instead of 5 gears) are already quite expensive in fuel need at this speed.
I can trivially explain my own situation. There is a random event or deadline that forces me to stay awake until 2AM. I am slightly sleepy 30 min before midnight. I push through to 0:30 after midnight and then the sleepiness starts going away until it comes back at 2AM. The next day my sleep cycle is now offset by 1 or 2 hours and I can no longer fall asleep at midnight.

It takes a week of consistent bed time to create a consistent time to fall asleep again.

Since I am fully aware of how my sleep cycle works my only conclusion is: I hate EXTERNAL EVENT.

It makes sense when you consider other string methods.

r"" strings for raw representation (this breaks most syntax highlighters though)

u"" for unicode string

b"" for bytes string.

f"" would totally fit as a "formatted string".

(R&B strings were available in python2, for context).

Why is The Guardian up in arms about this, but not about the very clear and well understood veto that President Biden has over every single law that goes through Congress? Yes, The Guardian is a UK/commonwealth publication, but the article is essentially making the point "this shouldn't happen in a democracy", and yet the world's arguably largest and most influential democracy has an even greater veto power for their head of state.

> Harley for example is seen as overpriced extremely bad quality by almost all bikers outside the US

This is true in the US as well, in my experience, for both HD and Jack. I think the point is that the Harley brand still holds value among a community of fans both in and outside of the US in a way that [some Japanese sport bike manufacturer] isn't differentiated against its competitors.

This also means the sport bike manufacturers that have competitors have to at least pretend to constantly improve, so there's a lower risk of stagnation which HD is now dealing with.
