I replied. You are considering Apple's system better despite the fact that Apple's goal is to re create the web environment in their own apps so they can monetize it in their platform.

So your argument is maybe valid (I don't think so, tracking is tracking and this isn't just contextual targeting) only now, as time goes by and Apple accumulates more power your argument is back to being invalid again.
I'd say herd behavior and network effects are the main issues.

Do a quick search on YouTube on "what programming language to learn". You'll find video after video using popularity as a primary or even the primary factor to base the decision on.

Non-technical management tends to do the same, based out of the belief that languages are all pretty much equivalent and a desire to hire easily swappable "resources".
You would also need to mandate that they supply a reason for banning you that you can argue against. As it is now you could just get banned with no recourse or reason for using a 3rd party app on many platforms.

Not sure how macOS does it but iOS has notification service and content extensions. The original notification in itself is pretty lightweight. However, the service extension allows an app to perform additional downloading and data retrieval from which it can augment the notification data. From there, the notification content extension can take this enlarged notification and present a custom, interactive view controller. So yeah, almost none of the data is from the notification itself. I haven’t explored the limits of what APIs are available to a notification content extension but it wouldn’t surprise me if what’s seen here is possible on iOS, too.

There are easier ways to say this:

The issue was: there is no competition in Chinese banking because the state uses banks to hand out cheap loans/subsidise companies, part of this is paying depositors very low returns, Ant created competition by paying higher deposit rates, this led to a surge of money leaving Chinese banks, and the whole system would have toppled if this continued.

On top of this, and something which I don't know is true but is something I have heard, Ant was taking money from depositors who are usually paid 100bps and paying them 700bps, and then they were lending that money back to banks at 700bps+ (one part of this story is, because of the point in the previous paragraph, that Chinese financial markets are largely bank-led...so if you run a money market fund, you can start out buying bonds but once you are $200bn then you have to lend to banks...it is hard to understand how Ant thought this could work).

Either way, this wasn't a minor infraction. If this continued, either Ant or the Chinese banking system would have gone down. A substantial number of corporates would have gone too (China's debt levels are sky-high). The construction of the Ant MMF fund basically challenged the foundations of China's financial markets...that isn't a minor infraction.

Personally, when I interview I try to observe the physiognomy of the subject. I look for defects like weak chins or sloping brows.

An informal survey of social opinions is also useful. If the candidate asks "How old is your grandmother?", he's inquiring after your Freemason's lodge number, which is a reliable sign of a good fellow.

Also it's true that they're a colony and the arms do most of the thinking, but IIRC as a consequence of this the brain is suspected to not get a lot of sensory information back from them - instead it kind of gets status updates about what they're up to. It actually has to look at its arms with its eyes to find out what they're touching.

Does interpreting the descriptions '1-dimensional engineers' or 'it's common in tech' to imply 'an entire job family' suggest low or high reading comprehension?

This thread is littered with examples lack of understanding of PM's (and other) roles, to the point wherein it's almost bigotry.

It's understandable that many people don't know what 'marketing' or 'finance' is, but to project their ignorance, and couple it with with moralizing suggests exactly the kind of insufferable arrogance I'm pointing out.

From this thread:

"The value creators (engineering/programming/creative/design/product) people have been pushed aside for the value extractors (finance/managers/marketing/oversight) and now the extractors are creating the product. It is a completely backwards setup that is causing products to suffer."

(This one is wrong well past the point of being offensive)

"After certain critical mass of PMs were achieved, things went only downhill. I"

" I really haven't seen a tech company with a PM role which provided real value."

I started out as an Engineer and often felt this way as well, but having now played a variety of roles, I'm basically embarrassed at my own organizational illiteracy.

It's common in tech and it's embarrassing for the 'job family'.
A fine based on the profitability of the crime weighted by the probability of getting caught. For example, if Alibaba profited 1 billion from this, and the probability of getting caught is 10%, then the compensatory damage would be 10 billion dollars, and the punitive damage would be 2-3x that amount (based on what the Supreme Court has ruled to be constitutional), for a total fine of 30-40 billion dollars. This would ensure no company even considers doing something like this while still keeping the law constitutional [1].

I understand that this fine is from the Chinese government against a Chinese company, so take my comment as what I consider to be a just fine for a U.S. company.

> - It's the economic system that forces them to view you as a monetization opportunity. And destroys the principled ones who refuse.

Trading with people makes you richer, not poorer. Not participating in the economy makes you poor because the natural state of animals is to be poor. Rent-seeking is bad, but a state where you have wealth without participating in the economy and without being exploited is extremely artificial and hard to maintain (even though it'd be cool if we got it.)

“With great power comes great responsibility.”

“Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”

The problem with humans is that ego is decoupled from entropy.

There were benevolent kings/dictators/CEOs, but eventually they die or they try to hold onto power for the sake of it. Either way eventually the corrupt or corrupt-able rule.

If you can solve the corruptability of the ego or solve entropy, I agree with your assessment.

Until then, we need deterministic rules managed by computers that cannot be corrupted, and if corrupted, it’s quickly and easily obvious to everyone.

Once that (currently shaky) foundation is solved, it becomes significantly simpler (because of the durability) to solve those higher level problems over time and with technology or by changing hearts and minds, whichever is simpler.

Similar to what pascal do it. And certainly NOT how C do it.

The best internals (imho) is just a array (see, on rust):

https://doc.rust-lang.org/src/alloc/string.rs.html#278-280

This allow a lot of efficient operations and the possibility of use views (for substrings).

Where thing get nasty is all the unicode stuff. So even if the internal are simply, provide a good API that allow to use unicode correctly is what is more complicated.

I think here "proper implementation of strings" must take in account if is proper unicode, ascii or raw. Rust and other modern languages choose UTF-8 and I think this is the best posible option.

Until last week I would have been confused by this, but last week my Pixel 4 broke.

While waiting for it to be repaired, I bought a cheap Chinese phone to use as a backup - not sure of the brand but it cost £200.

I don't know what the fuck they did to the operating system, but notifications are completely unreliable. I think there's possibly some aggressive app termination going on, maybe for battery or memory usage. Either way, most of the time I would only get a notification once I open the app. Some apps seem to be more reliable than others - maybe due to whitelisting as you say.

In hindsight, Google allowing these no-QA phones to use the Android branding was a big mistake.

Java basically uses UTF-16, thus, a char is 2 bytes. All characters in the Unicode Basic Multilingual Plane are encoded with just a single char, while characters in the Supplementary Plane (i.e those with code points above 64K) require 2 chars (4 bytes) in what is called "Surrogate Pairs".

Interestingly, code points beyond the BMP used to be quite uncommon (Unicode was originally designed for just 64k code points), but now emoji are in there, which of course are used a lot.

Oof. You'd think people would learn by now that funny codenames for questionable projects never are a good idea...
I have been looking for exactly this for a while now:

“For my usecase, I wanted a way to:

Stash my data in its "original" JSON form
Explore it later & build whatever views I want
Keep costs & infrastructure complexity low
Self-host it / own my data”

However, I think compression is a key part. Large scraped json datasets can be compressed by a few orders of magnitude, which is the difference between scp’ing a db up to aws in minutes vs days. SQLite has an official proprietary extension to DEFLATE backing pages, but that’s not easy to buy/distribute for hobby projects. I’ve tried row compression with zstd dictionaries and it works well, but then you lose native indexing.

Mongo wiredtiger does pretty much what I want, it’s just not a neat flat file :/
Netflix works with just the "global" range. Their business vs. residential classification accuracy is probably near perfect.
Java characters are 16 bit. Unfortunately many methods in the String API expect strings to be UCS-2 encoded, even though in practice nowadays they're UTF-16. But it's more complicated than that, especially since Java 9 which introduced compressed storage for strings that could fit into ISO-8859-1[0].

Assuming tracking works (I have my doubts it boosts conversion), there has to be an equilibrium price, right?

That is, advertising camping gear on a camping review site (without tracking) still has some nonzero commercial value even if facebook tracking exists and works.
> Idk why you picked on the word reasonable. But your proving my point by attempting to shut down the discussion already

I picked 'reasonable' because the word has different connotations depending on the participants, for example, I may believe I'm being reasonable, whereas you may believe I'm being obstinate. And that's just talking about the word 'reasonable.' Toss the question of 'who's being reasonable?' into a heated discussion between opposite sides of a Covid-19 debate, or an immigration debate, or an abortion debate, or an Apple debate, and see where it gets you.

> There's nuance to speech, the 1st amendment is ambiguous.

The FA is anything but ambiguous. 'Congress shall make no law...' That's Ten Commandments territory as far as clarity goes. Speech coupled with action, or with imminent action, or with likely physical harm is where the US Supreme Court has generally allowed lawmakers to go hog-wild. Burning the US flag (political speech,) using racial epithets (hate speech,) publishing graphic pornography (sex speech,) and refusing to testify against one's spouse (silence) have all been green-lit by SCOTUS.

As has propaganda. Why do you suppose the press is given such wide latitude in libel cases against them by public figures[0]? The press can sway public opinion for or against a politician via lie by omission, reliance on alleged anonymous sources, outright lies and later retractions, out-of-context quotes, associating irrelevant stories or images with a politician, interpreting the politician's words, non-reporting, etc. What is this other than outright manipulation (of both facts and people) and propaganda?

We can further discuss the propaganda(s) of national holidays, of political treatises (e.g. Das Kapital,) of American invasions into the Middle East, all of which are seemingly allowed by SCOTUS, but I'll wrap up by sticking to television commercials--why should ASPCA or The Humane Society be allowed to tug at my heartstrings via dogs in cages? Why should the Reverend Franklin Graham be allowed to preach the word of Jesus to me when I've lost a loved one? Why should a PAC be allowed to run ads associating my pick for the US Senate with forest fires, an abhorrent murder or the decisions of another unpopular politician? Should non-profits and tax-exempts be allowed more/better free speech rights than commercial entities when they engage in the same manipulation techniques as those entities?

Yes and in Android, where I observed this, it's going to some of the worst. It was a defensive move instead of true insight into what mobile look like. Perhaps the one driving differentiated vision might be "open". But as the OEM world increasingly moves towards a collection of Apples, longevity and followthrough are going to be tough to deliver. I still think there is some great product muscle in areas like Google Cloud. Despite being highly competitive with AWS and Azure, at least it's born out of a desire to share their own best infrastructure with the rest of the world. They should be doing this and feels important. Despite Google shuttering the game studio, I think products like Stadia are going to do well, built on the backbone of Youtube (casting streams or jumping into existing with your game) and Assistant (in game tutorials/help). When you are as big as Google some things are just going to be sputtering and unfortunately that was in the area I worked.
Shouting is easy, doing so isn't.

I gave up on trying to maintain forks of web browsers, because their extension API deliberately doesn't allow modifying response bodies. It's just impossible to maintain any fork of any browser because of the sheer amount of features that rely on JS APIs for websites and the amount of commits upstream.

Ad Blockers are just a dirty hack that completely relies on Chromium respecting the Content-Security-Policy headers for all domains. If Google decides to blocklist their own domains for HTTP header modifications, we're fucked. Quite literally.

That's the reason why I kinda started to build my own browser (without a rendering engine for now) that focusses on filtering, parsing, and peer-to-peer offloading traffic and sees itself as a mixture between web browser, scraper and proxy that can be used as a cache for others. It has the idea to act as a web filter service + a webview to render its UI rather than being a render engine and document engine. [1]

I hope that with this market niche there's a way to make this kind of effort sustainable for the future, because all other web browser fork projects I've seen so far are dying off due to no funding and too much work to maintain the codebase.

It's just not feasible to compete in the everday user's browser market. Lots of companies have tried, and lots of companies have failed.
