I followed this case closely when it was going on. The accusations of that guy were completely overblown. He did not seem to be on any kind of campaign or operating as part of any organization. He was a guy with some opinions and with a lot of time on his hands, who edited a lot in many different subject areas. His editing in most areas was in fact quite good, but in the area of UK politics he had a Tory bias that got out of hand some of the time. That type of thing is very routine, whether it's about politics, computer languages, or anything else.

Wikipedia's dispute resolution system handled it ok, I think. After a lot of examination of what had been going on, he was prohibited (at least at the time, those prohibitions can usually be lifted after a while) from further editing about UK politics, but he stayed active in the other areas where he was perfectly ok. There was an occasion or two where he brushed up against his prohibition and caused some temporary localized drama, but that also happens all the time and is no big deal. The pages taking him to task made him sound like an agent of the Illuminati which was ridiculous.

Marketing is always about going where your customers are and showing them how your product will improve their life and in what ways.

Today, marketers are using social media because that's where people spend the most time now and it is also cost effective because you can target your ad. But the marketing world has been doing business without social media for centuries now. I am 34, and even I worked as a marketer before social media.

For reaching a group that opt-out of social media, you should use golden age marketing techniques. You should understand the demographics of your target group and what they do with their lives. Maybe they go to similar events, maybe they read similar magazines, etc.

And don't forget, digital marketing is bigger than social media marketing. Those people still use google, still use other websites. If you make your ads right, they will click it knowing they are clicking an ad. And, you shouldn't base your marketing on tricking your customers anyway, so provide value, use content marketing, make a cool product and they will come.

Google is surely pumping lots of money into Kotlin, had it not been for them, and Kotlin would just be yet another runner up in the long list of JVM guest languages.

It is also due to Android Studio performance issues that Kotlin compiler improvements came to be, and also the compiler plugins for stuff like kapt and Jetpack Composer.

Android Java might be stagnant, not kept up to date with standard Java, yet it still rules in Studio tooling performance.

This is cool. Working on something similar.

I was wondering, are the tasks/notes/calendars/contacts all in your own system? Or can they be bridged using open protocols like CalDAV/CardDAV/iCal?

My current approach for building something like this is to build only the processing/dashboard side, and keep using Todoist for storing tasks, Google Calendar for calendars etc, and then piece by piece migrate to fully self-hosted solutions like Owncloud/Nextcloud that provide standard protocol based storage.

The main reason for my approach is that I do not want to implement Todo/Calendar/etc from scratch with UI's for every platform. Todoist works fine (and other open source CalDAV apps too), same with Google Calendar, so I want to get up and running using those apps on my phone, but still track the combined data in my own system.

The correct solution to this is for official banking systems to out-compete cryptocurrency by providing the advantages that it actually has, e.g. pseudonymous accounts that can't be frozen or seized without proving the commission of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Obviously this is approximately the opposite of AML, but everybody keeps demonstrating that AML doesn't work. So we're better off to just give it up and take the advantage of a formal financial system with the properties that people will be able to get from cryptocurrency regardless, without the energy waste of Bitcoin et al.

Because then people will use the official financial system, cryptocurrency will be less valuable, and less energy will be wasted mining it. Which is more than we're getting from privacy-invasive and ineffective AML rules.

You seem to have several fairly fundamental misunderstandings about CPUs at a low level.

> include stack locations in your register renaming scheme

Registers aren't related to the stack. "The" stack is just RAM being accessed in a specific cache friendly pattern, with additional optimizations (if you use specific registers) from the hardware in the form of the stack engine. The compiler explicitly loads and stores to and from the registers named by the ISA. Register renaming has absolutely nothing to do with the stack.

When the CPU can tell that a later instruction doesn't depend on the previous value of a register, it's free to rename it. The result is that two independent registers get used even though only one was ever directly referenced. In reality, there are a _huge_ number of registers available on modern processors. Estimates place Skylake, Zen, and Cortex-X1 at 200+, with the M1 at 600+. The ISA just doesn't provide a way to access them directly. (If you want to read about this, the term to look up is reorder buffer.)

Also, there is a giant out of order buffer for stores waiting to be written back to L1. That buffer does indeed have to keep track of cache locations, which directly map to memory addresses, which sometimes happen to refer to stack locations. So in a sense, what you suggested already exists. (If you want to read about this, the term to look up is store buffer.)

> it seems much easier to find parallelism if a bunch of adjacent instructions are explicitly independent

That would indeed make things simpler in some cases. However, many operations such as loading a value into a register (ex mov, [addr]) or zeroing it (ex xor eax, eax) explicitly break the dependency chain by definition. Cases where the CPU fails to properly account for this are documented as false dependencies.

> the compiler can then help the cpu keeping all those instruction units fed

The "compiler handles ordering" thing was tried with Itanium. It seems it didn't go so well.

The CPU is free to simultaneously load two different pieces of data into the "same" register and execute two independent instruction streams on that "single" register thanks to renaming. Speculative execution helps when the CPU can't be completely certain that there isn't a dependency.

For particularly complicated sequences, the compiler spilling due to running out of named registers could indeed pose an issue. However, the CPU is free to elide a store followed by a load if it determines that the address is the same. (If you want to read about this, terms to look up include store-to-load forwarding and load-hit-store.)
When I read "Annual plan, paid monthly" I expect to be on the hook for the whole year. I wouldn't even assume that there is an option to cancel early.

Apparently the early cancellation fee is 50% of your remaining subscription fees. In other words it's an improvement to the actual terms I signed up for when I agreed to be committed for 1 year. I dont see why Adobe needs to explicitely "warn" customers about an option that is actually beneficial to them (the users, not Adobe).

He is either delusional or he's lying. How else can you explain his claim that labor has prevailed?

As Amazon and Tesla employees fail to unionize, as Uber buys a law to avoid treating their drivers as employees, as the Democrats fail to increase the minimum wage despite holding all three branches of government, as the US is the only western nation without universal health care... What honest person can look at the current state of America and think labor is winning?

The children of upper middle class parents getting rich by starting startups is not labor prevailing over capital. It's just capital. It's just the rich getting richer.
I think you may find that the swindler may be able to present the old CC number and still charge your account (which hasn't changed). Gym indenture companies are notorious for this.

I had this occur with Capital One and a scam fax-to-email company who refused to accept a trial cancellation. Even after lodging a dispute the scammers could still bill more charges, and I'd have to dispute each one until the bank made a ruling.
> you plea bargain to a lesser charge

Well, not exactly.

If you can afford a lawyer in the US, you normally don't plea bargain at all if you have a defense to avoid all kinds of cascading issues, like higher insurance fees, family court character drama and ability to hold a commercial transport license.

We're not going to change these old-timers. That's what makes them old-timers. We're only going to become old-timers ourselves someday (if we're lucky). Probably best to exercise as much compassion for them as we can, and hope the future returns the favor when our time comes.

I think it's reasonable to assume to a user is able to multiply a monthly fee by the number of months in a year.
Yes. The budget starts at 1000EUR vs 250EUR. The difference is much less once you realize that you probably want two (disc?) breaks, probably suspension, larger wheel size. When I was making the purchase it was basically same price at that point.

Yes. It takes a few hours to learn to ride an EUC. But I'd wager that EUCs are safer because of that. Most accidents on rental scooters happen to first-time/occasional users. The fact that you need to learn how to ride an EUC gives you an appreciation of how bad things can go if you push farther than your skill allows.

In the end, EUCs are safer (larger wheel doesn't get locked in small potholes), more comfortable even without suspension, break faster due to more powerful motor, and are more compact.

Are you sure? From what I see around me, people who have money are a constant target of other people who want to drop their beaks into it, so to say.

Starting with distant relatives that got into trouble and suddenly found a familial love for them, continuing with various false friends, gold diggers of both sexes and people hustling investment opportunities. Ending with lawyers and doctors who might induce you to undergo procedures that are more expensive, but not necessarily in the best interest for you.

The price for being rich is being on constant alert and distrust against "luck" that isn't really luck, but a veiled threat.

Edit: OK, I get it, not everywhere is Eastern Europe. Countries with old money have systems in place that mitigate this problem. (Although I am not so sure about mafia-heavy countries like Italy.)

That’s the point of limited liability companies. Shareholders are able to invest capital without needing to invest anything else (like time) and without worrying that they will go to jail for something the company does, with or without the consent of the shareholders. This is hugely important to VC funding and to the entire share market. Imagine buying shares on the NYSE and next week you’re in prison!! So that is sensible I think.

The flip side is that shareholders don’t get to make any material decisions about running the company; that’s the job of the directors (who might not be shareholders). Directors are, in theory, legally liable for the actions of the company they manage.

All this would be fine with me, and directors certainly have gone to jail for crimes committed by their company, but it’s incredibly rare, and in Australia where I live, is generally related to trading insolvent, tax avoidance, or other clear and simple legal issues. But go ahead and let your company illegally blow up irreplaceable ancient cave paintings in the outback, and you’ll be fine.

In fact, in Australia at least, the corporate regulator ASIC is so toothless that there is no straightforward way to enforce director’s breaches of company constitutions or other governance agreements other than directly with lawyers. This makes enforcement of the governing documents of a company (the documents that the shareholders sign up to) incredibly expensive and intimidating. Even clear breaches of the Corporations Act, the governing law of business in Australia, must be dealt with through civil law.

So if you are a minority shareholder in an Australian Pty Ltd company and the directors decide to break their agreements with you - say an agreement to use green energy or to use ethically sourced labour - you’re screwed unless you sue them. If you’re a small time investor or if a significant portion of your wealth is invested in that company, you’re shit out of luck. The directors can do what they like.

That’s messed up, because it means that directors can get away with almost anything, even if the minority shareholders disapprove, and there is zero recourse in the justice system.

I presume that, as with many things legal, Australia follows the US in this regard, but I don’t know this for certain.
There's a big divide between those who can get a mortgage, and those who can't.

When you buy, pay the maintenance expenses, and for a limited time (well, not Sweden, what they do is essentially renting from a bank) you pay back the loan to the bank and interest for it.

When you rent (because you don't have enough income to get a loan big enough, or have otherwise messed up your finances), you pay the maintenance expenses, and the owner's loan and interest (and after the loan is paid, profit for the owner's investment forever after), and their taxes.

Also, it's only cheap right now with the record low interests for the last 10 years, and it's only safe in specific locations where (and when) the demand for housing is stable or increasing and prices increase over the rate of inflation.
Right wing thinkers, PG definitely among them, seem obsessed with this idea that the left won. I literally have no idea what world they've been observing, but it doesn't seem to overlap very much with the one I occupy.
Absolutely. In Australia, the Critical Information Summary will detail the contract cancellation fee and the total minimnum cost (i.e. if you cancel it immediately after the cooling-off period) is explicitly stated right next to the cost that the company really wants to display.

So in the case of $1000/mo rent, and a 1 month cancellation fee, the minimum total cost will be displayed as $2000. If it is the total remainder of the contract, then it will be displayed as $12000.

It's not that there's no consequences, it's that the consumer is clearly and without the need to navigate dark patterns made visible of those consequences.

In the U.K. we actually have had these kinds of cases go to court and as a result those charges have to be presented clearly before the user has signed the contract. Some places even make you sign that specific clause to evidence that you’ve understood it. So there’s no chance of anyone engaging in a contract with termination charges without them understanding what those charges will be.

Someone else just made you a billionaire and now you get to cast off all those formerly heroic hard-working Americans into an uncaring libertarian hellscape where they become stupid lazy moochers whose death in the streets is a cheer-line for Republican conventions.

There has never been any evidence that taxes disincentivize wealth creation. That's a nonsense myth that doesn't hold up to historical evidence nor to a few seconds of personal introspection. You really think a wealth tax or a 70% tax on income over $10 million would make people like Jeff Bezos go "okay screw it I'm not going to do an Amazon anymore -- the world doesn't deserve my genius!" and just John Galt out of existence? That's nonsense.
