"I give you $1 bn if you kill that one kid" and you answer "I'll never kill a kid, no matter how much you pay me" to which I reply: "Your answer is illustrating your privilege".

my wife sometimes has to do this on the weekends ( non tech job) and sometimes i have to do on call stuff on weekends.

Why are you making this about gender?
I agree with you, as far as the dual layers of communication. The general feeling I get is that that's precisely why Pixar is a preferred studio over some of their competitors in the animation space.

I didn't see Onward, but between that, Coco, Soul, and Inside Out, those are four moves that grapple pretty heavily with mortality, death, the afterlife, depression, which I'm assuming sails over the head of most kids.

And even their earlier ones like Finding Nemo, Ratatouille, and Up have pretty serious things to say about childhood illness/"deformity", the role of the critic, and tragedy that similarly seem to be aimed -just- over the heads of kids.

I think I'd need a definition of what a "great" childhood story is, but I'm pretty sure that neither Disney nor Pixar has "controversial" as part of their DNA. Much to the relief of parents everywhere, that's simply not what they're trying to do, so to judge them for not doing that is confusing.

Perhaps you're looking for something more along the lines of A24 (Moonlight, The Florida Project, The Witch) from... Disney?
Look, you're talking about the exceptions. I'm talking about the rule. We are in violent agreement! A friendly kind of violent. :)

> flipping "min pw complexity"

I couldn't disagree more about this, but that's a particular sore point of mine. Otherwise, yeah, cloud services in general give you abilities like this. I mean, so does on-prem -- AD DS has the same (actually, far far far better) switch, but cloud is where the action is.

> selling to dev and IT teams about finally rotating a pw to something complex [...] just that easy of a fix.

Yes, and that isn't selling failure so much as security incompetence from the top. If you have a solid core, it's easy to throw switches when you see a blemish on the surface. If the core is rotten, that surface defect is not going away, even if you do catch it and even if you do fix it! The security team is only as good as the leadership.
I don't think it counts for the purposes of this blog post.

You can't translate the Wikipedia quote in the article into an SVG except by just rendering the bare text.

Checking programmatically that text is about "bird" or "Twitter" is very easy. Checking that an SVG is about "bird" or "Twitter" is very hard.

It's not even efficient. It conveys the same message as the word "Twitter" in a hundred times the size. And it wouldn't be less efficient if it were a binary format.

It's maybe more suitable for carving into granite than a binary format, but you'd be better off carving the logo itself.
Even within the world of tech the contrasts are striking.

I worked for a tech company based in the Midwest that was acquired by a company in the valley. I regularly went on visits to HQ. Some of the folks I met complained strongly about things like lunch not being provided... as often. And their lunches were amazing, with drinks, and socialization.

I came from a place that maybe once a quarter someone would order a bunch of cheap-o pizza... maybe, unless they were concerned about the budget (like $300 worth of pizza matters). And what that meant was you went and grabbed a piece of pizza and went back to your desk...

That's not to say one is right or one was wrong (both locations could have certainly used a little of each's culture / traditions), but the privileges of the tech world (particularly some companies) are generally pretty amazing, and I'm not sure folks who have never left those places really get it...

I sometimes feel like I'm talking a to aliens from another tech world when it comes to their complaints, like they're from that space ship in WALL-E.
> socialize the cost of keeping your toddler warm

This seems like one of the whole points for having a society. Ensuring basic necessities like this are covered at a marginal cost. But I guess the neoliberal capitalist haven of America thinks it's "socialism", and thus evil.
As someone who's been attempting to read print magazines in digitized from since the iPad came out, I've come to realize that it's not about screen size, but convenience and disposability.

Convenience because I can stuff it in a bag or leave it on a coffee table, and not worry about its physical condition. Convenience also because I can flip to any page and start reading from there. On a tablet I'd need to use the horizontal scrollbar to fast forward through pages and it doesn't feel the same.

Reading a magazine on something that weighs over a pound is not comfortable. I never felt like I was kicking back and chilling with a magazine, just that I was holding a heavy, expensive piece of glass to read something I could have bought on the newsstand for 7 bucks.
Congratulations on fathering the dumbest comment of the internet today

Today you don't care. You might never do.

Some people do at the moment, but that's not completely the point.

This legislation should be about tail risk - protecting the people who increasingly only have an iPhone or iPad as their main computer from either forced obsolescence or restrictions on their behaviours.
In a company I work for, some people take time to exercise at lunchtime - 11yoga seem to fit right there. Basically, lunch then takes longer then if you eat during that time, but not by horribly lot.

I does not seem to me so horrible honestly, assuming that you then stay longer to make up for time spend by exercising. I dont do that, because I need to take kids out of school basically, but when I had time to exercise a bit in the middle of the day I was more productive.
No kidding. If you're on team "Do whatever it takes to win" then you better at the very least applaud when people do whatever it takes.

You can't tell your team "Do whatever it takes to win", and then when they work their asses off for you turn around and say "Well long hours aren't a badge of honor"

This is an asshole who wants people to work themselves to death and doesn't want to give any sort of reward or recognition for it.
If the iPhone was an open platform, you could develop a mod that makes your Fortnite character look like whatever you want, for free. (It wouldn't show up that way for other people by default, but that's someone else's phone, not yours.)
Nothing is stopping someone from opening a Robinhood account, buying shares of a diversified, low-cost ETF such as VTI, (Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund), and getting back to their life. The system is "rigged" against irrational, ignorant, and even vindictive ("buy GME to crush the hedgies") amateurs who choose to actively trade undiversified portfolios of over-valued stocks.

Big corporations should be treated more like infrastructure and free markets than private companies. The more impact they have on society the bigger the opportunity to externalize costs and privatize profits.

They can strangle creativity and keep us prisoners in their walled gardens for decades, subjecting us to high prices and tarrifs, lack of choice, missed technological opportunities, biased filtering and ranking, whimsical deplatforming of users and blocking of apps, stifling the development of competing and innovative businesses, or buying them outright to keep the risk away.

It's dishonest to pretend that smart phones are not a very large and important portion of the digital market today and very hard to be without. They are used for payment, identification, messaging etc that a laptop or desktop can not replace. Having the choice between apple or google is not much of a choice. And a company that wan't to reach the public must have a smart phone app and therefore must have a ios app.

Your list of manufacturers does not take the platforms into consideration. None of those are allowed to use apples platform unless they follow their strict rules.

There isnt't a competitive market unless ther's free movement and perfect information and the two smart phone platforms have large lock-in effects today so it hardly qualifies. The portion of the market that is android or windows are competitive markets, it's easy to switch from a samsung phone to a lg phone.
Those consumers should have every right to stay in that sandbox. And the rest of us should have the right to use a different one.
Nope. Hurts overall experience. Not only the App's won't be curated the same as the other ones, but now I would have to maybe reach to some webside to download a .ipa file or to download a secondary App store to get a apps that otherwise would be available on App Store.

I doubt that early human challenge trials would have speed up vaccine development much, if at all. You still need the non-challenge trials to determine that a proposed vaccine is safe and effective in a large diverse population, and those are what took most of the time.

HCT trials involve people who we are either pretty sure won't get seriously ill from the virus being tested or pretty sure we can successfully treat if they do get seriously ill.

That generally means subjects who are young adults in good health with no known conditions that might put them at extra risk (and early into a new disease, we don't know what those conditions might be, so you really want to limit your early HCT to young adults in near perfect health).

The general population is full of people from children to the elderly, ranging in health from Captain America territory to Mr. Burns territory, with a plethora of already existing diseases and conditions.

Testing in that limited demographic that qualifies for an early HCT just doesn't tell you much about the safety or effectiveness of your vaccine for everyone else.
What makes it broken, out of curiosity? Is there a spec anywhere that suggests that behavior is incorrect? Or is it just because it's not what Chrome does?
How you can argue for less software freedoms, while paying a 30% tax for any app you distribute, is honestly mind boggling to me.

>On the one hand, Apple is acting as a store curator and demanding that its customers be made aware of tracking software.

This sounds like marketing. Apple is limiting what apps their customers have access to. I wonder if you would make the same argument if Apple starts blocking websites?
My personal dots did connect, largely, thats my point. I took a highly unconventional path to where I am in life, and feel lucky for making it.
Yeah, this shit didn't happen with a fucking contract - the entire sexual assault probably took place without the offender ever even mentioning a quid pro quo, you just heard from someone else that it was the only way. You can't sue the fucking guy if you don't get a callback.

And to be honest there are people here who loudly won't even do a three-hour whiteboard interview for a high-paying gig that isn't a sure thing.

I just watched Fran Lebowitz's Netflix special and according to her you couldn't even get a job as a waitress in NYC in the '70s without sexual favors. Basically a generation of service industry management looked at sexually assaulting job applicants as a perk.

Well by your definition then I’ve come to makepeace with my entitlement, then, if this is truly entitlement to not want a work life that thinks it can intrude on my non-work life without me saying something about it and trying to minimize the blast radius.

Yes, I’m entitled. I’m entitled to being defined by more than just how I make money. Yep. 100%

Glad we could have this talk. Feels good to finally get that out.
“Text is efficient at transmitting data. If I want to describe a concept or an event, text is king.”

Really? Why are video games so visual, in that case? To update you on the situation your character is in, inform you where the enemies are, give you feedback on your current health and objectives... most video games use a rich graphical system of colors and symbols overlaid over a high resolution image of the game world...

If text is more efficient at communicating ‘events’, why aren’t there ‘action text adventures’?
Appreciate your wisdom on this.
What does a functional Python look like?

To me, a functional language without tail recursion seems pointless. Is it possible to abstract away whether you are recursive or iterative, like an iterative recursion scheme?

One thing that I think would be great is if there was a Python approach to effects systems like Polysemy (free monads); what might an in between be for this?

Managing Up: How Developers Can Better Communicate to Management
I don't know, but if they do, they seem to have a half-life of about 2.431184 years. That's interesting news.
Very good points. We can't trust Apple to curtail exploitative software.

The EU has a proven track record of exploring innovative regulation; perhaps they will find a solution.
SAME exact experience here. If you can create either a build workflow or some other method of managing a relationship like this, do that instead of submodules.

I've been on teams that used it quite excessively and it was a PITA. I've used it in much smaller ways to try to avoid a build step or two and it worked until it was responsible for the world falling and no one knew it was that damn sub module.

Just because the tech exists, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Why don't they just do the same with Apple, then? Force them to have some basic ability to load programs. You can even make it easy for users and put an icon on the home screen. To make it obvious that you can load apps and programs for it, they would just need to label it as "App Store" or something like that. Problem solved!
The demo is still working for me on Chrome 88 (not incognito) seemingly. Which browser are you using?
Actually, Apple Store and Google Play (and Steam, yeah) are the same: they are monopolistic platform, either formally (Apple) or de facto (Google). A bit like IE browser in Windows in the 90's

I think that each editor can still provide an App Store, with specific price model for editor/users, and have to allow competition (with different features... for example, less curation) by providing THE SAME access for the user. For example, every app store must include other main app store.
Right now, if you want to use F-Droid, you cant do it as smoothly as using Google Play because it's not on Google Play (but Amazon apps are I think).
No, actually I think this is a fairly poor analogy. In your example, one is being asked to harm _another_ for their benefit. In the other, one is being asked to harm _one’s self_ for their benefit.

However terrible and painful the example is, abstractly, I believe people are free to decide what happens to themselves, but not to others. Murder is universally illegal, while prostitution, arguably, shouldn’t be, and isn’t in many places.
Yep. Same for Apple: "We're leaving out the charger for your $1000 phone. It's for the environment, we promise."

But, I'll take any environment win I can get at this point.

Open Licensing Attacks on Specific Business Models
Last year I needed some bed linens. I like Ikea design, and I have some Ikea bed linens. My naive thought was that, surely, I could order bed linens online and have them delivered. No. No you can't. You just can't.

That is astounding at a time when anyone with a free website whacked together in a no-code site-builder can drop in an e-commerce widget and have a first rate online shopping experience for customers, with a "cart," check-out, payment, etc.

Even when I was willing to shop in person, Ikea's tech was a frustrating factor. You cannot tell if every component of a couch configuration you want is in stock. You can't put the stock on hold. All you get is a red/yellow/green indicator of how much stock a store has. Since a couch has several modules and each module has a separate stock item for base, back cushion, and seat cushion upholstery, the odds of getting everything in one trip approaches zero.

I cannot think of anywhere else where a few tens of millions in tech development could more obviously build billions in enterprise value.
I mean in your last sentence, it really isn't a privilege if you have to do "intense, focused work" to get it... it then becomes compensation

Loss of said compensation does certainly warrant some conversation about it. Also I don't really appreciate it being painted as ALL Googlers when, like most things in life, a small passionate minority affected by this brought this up and most people didn't think twice about it

He sounds kind of toxic and out of touch, and didn't really mention why he stayed so long despite that being the title of the article.

You know someone is Up To Something when they rant about HR restricting their speech. It's weird to me that he's now a free agent, rants about how people complained that "I used a four letter word, my analogy was not PC, my language was not PG", and yet doesn't indulge in his blog post. Maybe he learned something about communicating effectively through discussions with HR?

He mentions not getting free distribution on Android phones. It baffles me that he couldn't negotiate some sort of deal. I am sure someone's end goal was to put all of Waze in Maps, and I don't think anyone would have prevented him from doing that. I feel like there was some emotional attachment to his baby that he couldn't get over, and it hurt the distribution of the product. You aren't acquired by a big tech company to be nurtured and grow -- you're there to be assimilated, for better or for worse. I'm surprised that he's surprised. (You can get bought by Google and grow your brand, of course. Android is still called Android, not Google Phone. Maybe Andy Rubin was just a better CEO? Though quite a piece of human garbage, as I understand it.)

Finally, the rest of the rant is about how those dang employees don't work hard enough and want too much money. I can see why that irritates the CEO type -- they risked everything to get where they are today. But, that's not the game the employees are playing. They took a more conservative course and ended up at the top of their field, they're there to make your ideas come to life efficiently and effectively. If you want naive worker bees who will work 80 hours a week for $20,000 a year, you got acquired by the wrong company, plain and simple.

For someone who claims to be savvy, he seems to have a lot of blind spots. I guess it's nice to get it all out into the open, as a warning to people who might choose to work with him on his next adventure.
