The point was not that modern anti-racists are wrong because they disagreed with MLK on some topics, it was that they are wrong because they completely reject colour blindness, of which MLK’s famous statements are one well-known example. Perhaps I should have picked a different person or just not mentioned him.

Again: It’s about the specific idea, not a person. And the idea is what is being hijacked, to mean almost the opposite of what was generally accepted.

Seems to me that the problem is the use of text formats in general. I understand the need for universality, but all it would take to solve this is for major OS vendors to ship with a clean simple HDF5 editor. I would also like to see a binary UI description format become a web3c standard, because, good luck trying to eliminate all the quadratic strlen in web services.
Is freedom really the freedom to shout 'black people are stupid' on the streets of Harlem?

Usually when people are worried about online censorship you find that they have some 'inconvenient truth' like that which is inane at best.

People have some right to protect themselves from those who want to piss in the pool.
I assume they do because eBay pushed so many competitors out of the market.
I still don't understand why they don't add native onenote integration. I would buy one in a heartbeat if they did. The whole "well just email it to yourself" workflow is horrible and a non-starter. It seems like such an oversight that I can't quite wrap my head around it. I have no doubt MS would be willing to work with them and it should be entirely do-able given the linux underpinnings of the tablet.

Maybe by the time there's a reMarkable3.
No that's correct. When you create an event you're not setting your availability. You add your own availability after. First you just set the general time period for when the event could possibly occur.
>I'd like to see an enforced separation in law between commercial application providers and storage providers. So, if someone writes an app like Google Docs, they can't just store the data opaquely on their own cloud servers. They legally have to integrate with a separate storage provider. And that storage provider has an obligation to make my data accessible and manageable by me.

Same can be said about gmail. In the old days, one can access gmail via imap/pop3. I believe that was removed. All email ought to provide an alternative way of getting the email other than company's web interface.

I have literally just had the experience of stumbling on one of these racist dr Seuss books while reading with my kids, and I can tell you that I would have at least wanted a warning. It’s just not what I expected, and not something I would have wanted to expose my kids to. Which is kind of a shame, because scrambled eggs super is (aside from the overt racism) an awesome example of seussian prose.

These kind of rug pulls are more uncommon but not rare, they give the developers some level of plausible deniability. Even so their actions after speak volumes.
I agree that you should choose your own clients. I think the examples provided beg a different question as to why it's not like this today?

PDF and DocX files are open specifications that provide for extension. Nothing is stopping anyone from building clients around these formats with the features listed in the article. PDF is definitely more common as most programming languages have comprehensive libraries to work with it.

The path forward would to be build the features you want and publish the extension specifications for others to use. Perhaps the interesting question however isn't technical possibility but if a market exists for it? Email clients were very widespread over a decade ago but have consolidated to 3-4 over the years. Hey.com has been the first big new email clients that I am aware of. I'm curious if it can prove there is big business in improving on existing, standardized specifications.
I think the authors explanation with the german word "Sprechstunde" is really great. There is a clear distinction between "Arbeitszeit" which is the working time and the "Sprechstunde" which is the time someone is available to talk to.
Okay, I guess I've got it wrong then. Thanks for the clarification.
Every time you modify a file in git you're actually creating a new file. Committing every keystroke would create a massive number of files that only differed by a single character. If you wanted to have a history of changes that can be shared and potentially merged then you would want deltas instead. A better underlying technology would be something like CouchDB https://docs.couchdb.org/en/stable/index.html

This is where CI/CD integration of tickets and good commit hygiene comes in, in my opinion. If your pipeline updates the state of the ticket as it progresses and commits are both sensible (describing the work completed rather than 'WIP: did stuff') and viewable from the ticket's history, that /should/ be sufficient to gauge progress when viewed alongside the work spec.
I’m not sure this applies to Binance Smart Chain. It is a centralized service providing cheaper, centralized DeFi. Centralized services don’t need to follow “code is law” since they have actual laws they have to follow.

> If the publisher shutdown and the IP on the books went into legal limbo, then the exact same thing would happen - has happened - to numerous works.

You are talking about works that became incidentally unavailable for commercial reasons (not that many people are interested in 22 year-old strategy video games). The Dr. Seuss books are an example of intentional book banning on political grounds.

Their publisher also didn't "shut down": they delibrately decided to stop publishing these books because they deemed them Politically Incorrect:

https://apnews.com/article/dr-seuss-books-racist-images-d8ed...

> “These books portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong,” Dr. Seuss Enterprises told The Associated Press in a statement that coincided with the late author and illustrator’s birthday.

And now eBay has decided that if you legally own a copy, you can't sell it to another reader, because it contains Dangerous Ideas from which the American mind must be protected.
Your comment is off topic. There is a reason we are discussing the article about eBay’s decision, not the publisher’s.

And do you work for the publisher? Or are you just pretending like you know that Karen never called the publisher?

It's only 1.4 million ever sold worldwide.

But the reason for that is obvious, isn't it? It is strongly encouraged to activate autopilot in trivial situations (e.g. lane assist on interstates), whereas most dangerous conditions (rain, freezing, bad roads, road works and so on) and their higher incident share is almost completely in the human driver column.

The rights holders can do what they want while they are not in the public domain.

What is wrong is pulling it from stock as well as secondary marketplaces.

What if the Christian or Muslim clerics get to say what books should be pulled too?
Maybe that’s the problem that needs to be addressed here. Because what I’m seeing should be something a libertarian would approve of. The free market at work, eBay is a private company making a decision of how they want to do business. Libertarians should love this.
The biggest improvement you can make is to stop feeling your cat dry food. They're often a large % fibrous plant matter, which ferments, causing much of the smell. If you're up for making homemade cat food, rather than canned, that makes their poop smell even less. The other thing you can do is make a litterbox like this:

- 30 gallon plastic bin (look for one with flat sides, not a "heavy duty" model with ridges along the side -- if your cat is a side-pee-er, this will be difficult to clean).

- Cut a hole in the side with a utility (aka x-acto) knife, 9 inches from the bottom.

- Fill with 3.5-4 inches of unscented, clumping litter. I've tried Dr Elsey's and World's Best, and prefer the former, which I found clumps better; I believe other clay-based litters are equivalent to it.

- Buy a litter-lifter, it's the best scoop, hands down. After I tried it the first time, I actually placed a bulk order (25 scoops) so that I have a guaranteed lifetime supply (and for gifts), because I never want to use another scoop.

- Clean the litter box at least once per day. I know this sounds like a lot, but it's actually not -- with the scoop above, it takes me ~10 seconds per "item" (pee ball or poop cluster) you scoop out (unless your cat is a side-pee-er), plus maybe 30s moving the litter around to find the items and even out the litter at the end. (I've timed this; in total it's around 1 minute if I scoop once per day).

Anecdote: I recently wanted to extend the hoses for my tabletop dishwasher (the one that hooks up to your tap, not to the wall). It's 2 hoses with 2 connectors each, should be easy. But all 4 are different. After 3 trips to 3 different hardware stores, I found exactly 1 fitting that fits 1 (of the 4) connectors. I ended up slicing the existing hose and extending it in the middle, because that was easier than finding the right fittings.
I thought about ordering them online, but that would assume I successfully identified them, which I didn't. Granted, I don't know anything about plumbing, but neither do the average person know anything about technology.

Software Power On Self Test
I had COVID in March 2020, and it took several months to recover - chest tightness and slight difficulty breathing being the main unending symptom.

The key for me was moving out of a lockdown country (Australia) to a non-lockdown country (Ukraine), and stopping wearing masks (just wearing a face shield). The psychological impact of freedom lead to an almost immediate improvement in my wellbeing.

It would be interesting to compare COVID survivors in lockdown and non-lockdown states in the USA. The theory could be that the social isolation, stress, reduced Vitamin D, and poorer diet of people in lockdown contribute to poorer outcomes long-term.

I am not sure that banning of Mein Kampf has a long-term benefit. If it has not been banned it would likely fade into obscurity instead of becoming a symbol.

As a counter-datapoint I grew up in a country that effectively banned religion. One could go to prison for selling a Bible -- subversive literature, yada yada. It worked for a while, but you cannot completely cut the flow of information from the world outside; so sooner or later people who did not have a strong opinion either way see such bans as unquestionably evil. And very soon after that the majority believes that the main reason for such bans is the inability to argue against the banned literature on merits.

I suspect that instead of letting the subject fade into obscurity such bans often provide the best advertising the topic can get. My 2c.
I personally am very glad that nothing related to MS is anywhere near it. The device is pretty much perfect. Would be nice if they supported Japanese handwriting recognition though.

> Everybody has the right to study history on their own, and I guess the world would be a much better place if many of us did.

I guess?

History is something that historians do, not study. There is a meaningful difference between an expert applying actual methods and an interested layperson reading primary sources for their own edification. Not to say that people should be prevented from doing that, but it does seem like a bait and switch to say "what about the historians" and then swap to "what about this entirely different set of people" when it becomes clear that historians aren't actually using ebay in the method you describe.

If you really care about laypeople having access to primary sources, a way bigger problem is the fact that most archives will not allow non-credentialed people to access their materials. There's way more "censorship" going on there than anything happening on ebay if that counts.
A tolerant liberal society is built on the foundational principle that people are allowed to read bad books, think bad thoughts and say bad things. And I'm allowed to denounce these bad things as bad, but I'm not allowed to dictate my moral beliefs on you.

I have not dismissed the possibility there is a conspiracy.

I'm only calling out that asking a leading question like this doesn't add to the conversation at all.

There is an incredible irony to accuse me of providing no rational when this whole thing is about somebody alluding to a conspiracy with no rational at all.

The starting point to a conversation should be "hey, there is a conspiracy here, this is why."
I stand corrected. So what happen if a major bug is found late in the process ? I suppose either the feature is dropped for this release or the release delayed until the bug is fixed and the feature is kept. Do you know which is it ?
Holy crap you're right.

This is like in Java, where you mean to override a method in a superclass but mis-spell the name of the method and therefore instead end up simply adding a new method with the mis-spelled name.

I guess either Solidity doesn't have something like Java 1.5+'s @Override, or else it just wasn't used.

In any case it's hard to believe this was accidental. Of all the places you could make this mistake, most of the others wouldn't result in a massive exploit like this.
The idea of Agile/Scrum is great.

The practice varies, if done correctly it's beneficial, if done poorly it's a nightmare like any poor software engineering practice. Can't tell you definitively about how beneficial it is to the software industry, but I believe it's a net positive since it has encouraged faster shipment over big bang releases.
>The Dr. Seuss books were banned not just by eBay but also by their publisher

I don't see the problem here. The copyright owner's no longer wish to distribute certain items in their intellectual property collection? So? I don't see people concerned that Disney isn't pulling "Song of the South" out of their vault, or isn't streaming it on Disney+.

What's the alternative you want? The government to FORCE artists to publish? FORCE Ebay to list these particular Dr. Seuss books? What the hell?? Isn't that worse?
> the same whitewashing (wokewashing?) happened to the Richard Scarry books which are all "abridged"

It's not much but you could at least play around coding maths routines. I know that's what I would do. That would have some value for a student.
It’s fascinating to see how many comments here insist rewards must be extrinsic for some kind of score keeping or personal advancement, when bulk of research suggests intrinsic rewards are far more effective provided nobody is exploiting the system.

This suggests (a) rewards for better outcomes can lie in the space of the team asking that out-performer to take on more accountability, so the individual can be on a personal growth, leadership, responsibility path, while the rising tide of performance lifts all boats. And at the same time, that seems to need to be accompanied by (b) fairness, a recognition the team is not a charity and nobody can be slacking and remain part of the effort, such that intrinsic rewards are not undermined.

There’s an opt-in aspect to make this work — not everyone wants to be on the starship Enterprise exploring new worlds without getting paper tokens to count their score “against” peers by. Even if the crew agrees Picard should be captain and have the quarters closest to the bridge, for some folks that’s not enough, they need to “beat” other humans instead of enjoying making the Enterprise better.

FWIW, I categorically disagree on sales commissions. Sales commission culture seems generally toxic to founder values. I’ve never seen a commission structure that doesn’t get gamed in ways beneficial to sales people at either customers’ or the firm’s expense and to its cultural or mission detriment, once the commission plan begins to scale.

---

All that said, if there are graduated pay scales, instead of a communal collective at utopian parity, it seems these should be less graduated by org chart level, and more by “toil vs. automation”. How to turn individual or collective labor into individual or collective annuity?

We (tech industry labor) haven’t really grappled with this yet, though you see it upstream of us, in valuations multiples differing between service where an hour of work is needed for a dollar of income versus “-as-a-service” where some code can be run as a utility.

This is what’s behind “do things that don’t scale”: figuring out how to scale these things, how to take the 1:1 toil part out of the equation, replace it with a multiplier or better zero it out.

The craftspeople able to figure these scaling problems out, automate them, are able to generate disproportionate future value per hour, and arguably should be compensated accordingly (think NPV), else in today’s typical system that value accrues to the company management where, frankly, most “management” is probably glorified toil.
