What happens if say 3 shards of a specific file you need are not online that day? Or never come back online again? I understand the files are copied to multiple locations but we are not talking about a 24/7 datacenter but random computers. People can decide to uninstall the program or never power back on or anything.

Unless it’s copied to basically every computer I don’t see how eventually someone would have a corrupted file just because they are unable to piece it back together with available computers.
Call me sceptical, but these same companies that say one asset is 'unethical' will invest in another that relies on slave labour in another market as soon as they see a buck to be made.

They probably forecast legal issues that make it a bad investment, and then will say it's not socially acceptable for the PR.

I mean, I doubt that Deliveroo labour standards are actually worse, for example, than a cambodian clothing manufacturer which was scored as one of the worst in the world for a lack of "forced labour safeguards". Aberdeen Standard (one of the companies criticising deliverro) proudly states on their website that their investments in this manufacturer gave great returns for their innvestors, while poo-pooing Deliveroo for labour standards. Hmm, I detect a possible contradiction...
In a word, yes. This is how society polices itself. Just like dogs. When a dog does something that isn't beneficial for the group, it gets a nip. The entire pack sees and learns from this. And the entire pack also helps in enforcing this behaviour.

However these days Twitter is the pack and "cancelling" is the nip. What's missing is a pack leader or at least a sense of what is truly "right" or "wrong" at this point in humankind's development.

So it might seem heavy-handed or a knee-jerk reaction, but I'm on board with this simply because it aligns with my moral views. It's a choice.
I agree frameworks help with the dev setup through all the cool hot-reloading tricks, I just meant because of their complexity it's one more thing you have to keep running in testing. I don't want to go back to jQuery in a <script> tag but that had 0 startup cost.
Don't delete your music man, I "slimmed" down my collection from 1TB+ to 200GB by deleting all the more "common" stuff I could easily find on Spotify only to realise that the versions I had (the original, pure, untouched music) was only available as fucking remasters etcetera.

I'm not sure about soap, but many products have SLS, which can cause problems. I'm not certain it's well understood, but it's cheap and "generally accepted as safe" so manufacturers use it liberally.

I had trouble with sheets that were freshly washed, they felt irritating to sleep on. it would go away after a day and the sheets would feel soft.

I switched to SLS-free laundry detergent and everything was awesome.

I also did the same with shampoo and my scalp seemed to be better. toothpaste too.

You might want to see if that makes any difference.
I had "acne" until about age 30. You have to use a facial soap on your face. Body soap, hand soap, or any other kind of soap will make you break out. Wash your hair 3x a week and your face after that.

I should also explain what I mean by "thin syntactic sugar": JSX is a local transformation which doesn't need any external context to be translated to plain JS. `<div className="greeting">Hello</div>` will always compile to `React.createElement('div', { greeting: "hello" }, "Hello")` no matter what; in Svelte, `count += 1` will output different code based on its context because it will compile the whole component as a single unit.
If you use regular soap on your face it's because the soap water has a high pH whereas your skin has a slightly acidic pH of around 5.5. So the soap disrupts the acidic barrier of your skin which prompts the skin to produce more sebum (acidic) to restore said barrier. [this is a simplification]

This happens on all your skin but it's more egregious on the face because the skin is more delicate there.

No idea for the shampoo though.

So I actually checked and... turns out you're right.

According to Wikipedia, "paradox" can either mean "logically self-contradictory statement" or a "statement that runs contrary to one's expectation". I always thought that it meant the former only.

These two concepts should really really have separate words.
I am not buying it. Food delivery is a simple menial job akin to cleaning. It will always be done by the lowest bidder. Regulation may affect the minimum driver compensation positively in the short term, but not too much before these delivery companies themselves become infeasible. However, the food delivery companies have already managed to bootstrap such massive market demand for the service they offer that it's not anymore realistic the industry would be regulated to death at this point.

In the long term, the driver compensation will also go up - either as a result of either regulation or – more likely – driver collective action. Meanwhile, these investment funds are missing out on the birth of new basic service industry, and by extension guilty of mismanaging their customers' funds.

"Seveneves was depressing" - there's an understatement. Quite interesting sci-fi in it I thought, but did anyone really think a story about the end of the world would be a fun read?

Dodge in hell was more micro level depressing, he starts of by killing one of the main characters from a previous book after all. But I found it enjoyable over all. I think he managed to convey what he wanted with the book, and unlike Seveneves it was a quite fun read.

> Yes, Polycloud is GDPR compliant. [...] processed and stored on servers located across the United States [...] certified with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework.

I don't think this means Polycloud is GDRP compliant. It's my understanding the Privacy Shield Framework was struck down by the EU courts. Might be a bit careful here if you are a EU business.

It seems the catch is the same as with Wasabi. It says everywhere on the site that egress is free and there's no hidden fees. Except for this FAQ entry [1]:

> Pricing for Polycloud is only $0.004 per GB per month. There are no other fees as long as you do not egress more than 100% of your data during the month. If you do egress more than 100% of the amount of data you have stored then you will only be charged $0.01 per GB for any overages.

Looks like a hidden fee to me. Note that even the Pricing page [2] does not mention it, and the calculator does not allow to enter egress volume for calculation.

You should have googled the situation before you made that assertion. Her father is in jail for 22 years due to the atrocity of the crimes he committed in his attic against that 10 year old girl. Per news coverage of the matter in the Guardian the role Aimee gave him after he had been charged with child abuse and rape(1) quote 'may have allowed him to interact with vulnerable people.'(2)

It is also of note that the claims the 10-year old girl made about the abuse conducted in the attic of the family home aligned with what the police found in the attic on the day of the arrest.

Interesting what you did there with Different Trains.
There is no such thing as direct rendering, commands are always buffered by the driver before being sent to the gpu. (and Forward rendering as in the rendering technique ?)

With Vulkan/Dx12 you can record multiple command buffers in parallel. That is not possible in OpenGl/Dx11 (There are 'deferred contexts' that let you do things in parallel but it's really not great).

By 'multiple cores on the GPU', I think you mean the hardware queues ? Usually there are 3 (on PCIe discrete GPUs, that is) a graphics queue to record any commands, a compute queue for compute tasks, and a copy queue for DMA copies across the PCIe bus.
I don't know if you can access them independently on older APIs, but on Vulkan/dx12 you certainly can.
I fundamentally disagree. On such a basis a white supremisist could justify murder against the ‘violent’ state in the absence of the possibilty of being elected.

Presumably on that basis you see the killing of Jo Cox as justified?

Interesting. I use bamboo viscose bedsheets. And I currently use the Costco "Ultra Clean Free & Clear" which contains SLS. However, I used to use Ecos laundry detergent also from Costco which didn't contain it, but they no longer seem to carry it, which came in giant containers.

Edit: the latter is available online, but it contains Sodium Coco-Sulfate made from plants.
May vary by where you are and your background (we weren't fabulously well off, and heating water isn't free) but even in the 80s here there was an agreed concept of "bath night". While I had a full bath much more than once a week it certainly wasn't every day, the other days it was a standing-at-the-sink "pits, bits & face" wash. I'm guessing this is what people were said to be doing in the 50s and earlier.

These days I tend to have a shower or bath most evenings, but didn't have the shower option growing up, and sometimes a p & b wash in the morning (particularly if it has been a hot humid night).
There should be a wider list of who to notify.

For example, if the court request is "Hand over names of all users in this geographic region at this time", then every Google user should be notified. Many of the notifications will say "A court ordered us to check your location history. You were not in the relevant area at the relevant time, so we handed no further of your data to the court".

Such notifications would inform regular Joe how often and why the government is looking at his data.

The theories I know there are centered on different compositions of skin bacteria. Sweat is decomposed over time by certain bacteria, producing a characteristic "old sweat" smell. People you interact with can transfer some of their skin bacteria to you, equalizing smell within a social group. Environmental factors such as use of soap, clothes, UV radiation on the skin and nutrition also influence which bacteria are able to live on your skin. So it sounds entirely plausible that there are populations of humans that do not smell, even without washing.

But I agree that this is far from settled from what I've read.

I don’t get these platforms. If I want a delivery I phone my local reaturant I want to cook for me and ask them to deliver. (Maybe they have a website instead)

The relationship is between me and the restaurant, whether it’s the local curryhouse (Indian Ocean) or dominos.

They may not deliver at all, or they may have a deal with a local taxi firm, or employ their own drivers, that’s upto them. I dont care where they buy knives from, or foil boxes, or prawn crackers, or delivery service.

If I dont like the food or the delivery time or another aspect of the service I go elsewhere.

Why would I want to replace that with a middleman who can squeeze both sides and offers very little. I know my favourite restaurants, I have a relationship with them. The bulk of the value is mainly at the restaurant, not the delivery or the ordering process.

Compare with uber which is identical to any other minicab firm in the U.K., but due to a good app also improves on the value of a hailable taxi, and that’s the difference.

I want to do business with the company providing value, not one connecting me via a proxy. It would be like ordering a takeaway in the 80s through the GPO operator, who would take my order and pass it on. Why would I want that?

Is there a risk of wide adoption of home working becoming discriminatory against people with low incomes?

I am lucky enough to have a 4 bedroom house that I share with just my fiancée. This means that I have space to have a nice office, that is separate from whatever else is going on in the house. This is not a luxury that everybody has. In most cases it will be because they can't afford it, but in some cases it will be because they prefer to or need to live in a big city where it is affordable to very few.

If you're in that situation working from home is going to be a less pleasant, less attractive option. If a large portion of workplaces become remote-first are you going to be at a disadvantage if you prefer an office?

We're not there yet - there aren't many remote first companies, and most companies offer the option but I worry that what for a lot of us is a blessing will become a curse to some.

I have been working from home for about 10 years. I have been a top performer in most companies I worked with, promotions, etc.

My productivity is down this year a lot. And I mean a lot. This is not because of WFH but do to the situation we live in. I think I wrote like 50 lines of code this month. I just can't stand it anymore, being locked inside the house with a computer on. I was WFH pre-pandemic but travelled, surfed, played social sports, went to cafes, beach. I was productive but my life was balanced and nice. Lets not even talk about the home schooling period where I had to be a teacher and full time worker (like many parents).

Now? I hate my life. I just wake up with the desire for it to be night and go to bed and have the day behind me.

I actually think during this pandemic I would be more productive in an office, due to having some kind of normal, getting out of the house, see other people and talk with others. My gf just started a new job this week that required her to go to the office. You can't imagine how much I envy her right now. I wouldn't mind a 50 minute commute or whatnot, just for a sense of going back to normal.

So yeah, I think you are doing a very unscientific 'study' based on the current situation the world if going through.

There are none. When activists say "free as in speech, not as in beer," they
mean "What we really *care* about is free as in speech software, i.e., the
ability to inspect, modify, and redistribute the source, and provision
gratis (without charge) is merely a precondition for that."

I'll quote from the manifesto: "... requiring that users pay, in money or in
kind ... is tantamount to not granting the freedoms in
question, and thus renders the program nonfree."
Thanks, that was really interesting! I never thought about it like that but it makes sense.
I think he was referencing non Western markets Deliveroo operates in. In the Middle East for instance, deliveries are taken by severely underpaid workers in delivery contracting agencies which are the "contractors" for Deliveroo.
It's not really the tax benefits. I'm using Dubai as an example because I can't think of anywhere else, but plenty of people move there because it has:
Better weather, better housing, better roads, lower crime etc than a lot of, say Europe.

Of course, it also has a dark side such as no real social support net or anything (criminals, the sick and unemployed can just be deported), but the people moving there don't need that.

Yes of course, society, solidarity, etc etc - but in the past that model kind of worked because people didn't really have the ability to just pack up and go - whereas now they can just bring a laptop and their credit card and have a plane ticket, airbnb, leased car and new, and to them better, life with barely any effort.
I would assume the criteria is what mixture of denominations will require the least regular servicing. An area where the average daily withdrawal is high - ie a wealthy area - will run out more quickly if it's giving out small denominations, but in an area where smaller amounts will quickly be unable to provide the requested amounts if they're serviced with mostly higher ones.

my android phone has a nagging "security update" popup that I cannot delete.

Nonetheless, it's true I can still use my phone (and the appstore)... huh, now that I take a closer look at this annoying update it appears to be from samsung not from google.

They will also ban you if you call them out on their bad service and request refunds for wrong/damaged food (and persist even if their CS tries to fob you off, which in an of itself is wrong in my opinion).

I'm assuming they have a per-user metric of overall profit and mine ended up being in the negative so it makes sense from a business point of view. However, I would be worried about their business if they can't properly deliver enough orders to make a profit when someone is holding them accountable.

The business model appears to be based on fobbing the customer off and letting them hold the bag should things go wrong, which is sadly a common thing in large-scale VC-funded startups.
