The guy talks about geometry but makes assumptions that reinforce his beliefs. And yea, one you make an assumption that you worked out to support your theory then you can also work it out the other way around to "prove" your theory.
That's a sweeping, negative generalization and suggests women don't have a choice. There are millionaire prostitutes who are entrepreneurs. Some do it to pay for college and other expenses when service worker jobs pay nothing. Looking down on sex workers from a view of pity and paternalism is a problem.
And according to exoneration data, innocent African American suspects are:

- 7 times more likely to be falsely convicted of murder than innocent white suspects.

- 3.5 times more likely ... for sexual assaults.

7x & 3.5x are lowballs since I expect only a relatively small % can actually afford to prove their innocence.

Conclusion: Good luck getting accurate crime stats from some of the most historically racist institutions in the USA.

Well yeah they don’t offer any account recovery — that’s a sign the encryption might be trustworthy. It’s only a negative if you don’t care about that.
I agree. I don't think Amazon can continue this kind of legal equivocation much longer. The claim to be "a neutral market" when questions of consumer protections arise and "just one web store among many" when questions of improper use of their market ownership arise.

The California decision makes a lot of sense.

Looking at their business model with their ownership of the customer relationships, control of the payment methods, and the co-mingling of inventory, it's hard to claim that Amazon is just matching buyers and sellers.

I'm not really in the "break-up big tech" camp. We already have the laws needed to make companies play fair, we just need to enforce them.

That said, the whole Amazon Basics model is kind of questionable. I could see that being split off and forced to operate without access to private market data or preferential placement in the marketplace.
> If there really is only one mic someone has sold their soul.

The one mic thing is actually ort of a bluegrass tradition, stemming back from radio and how it was recorded. A lot of bluegrass players learn how to balance themselves around a single mic, moving towards or away with solo and leaning in over the instrument to sing.

Come on, don't use the word clean with regards to diet. It's a bs and meaningless word that specifies nothing. Is it no sugar, no salt, no meat, no gc organisms, no alcohol no processed, low carb, high carb? Clean is a word that suggests Instagram influencers. Clean does not mean bland or not bland, whole foods or not. It's a meaningless word like good, healthy, natural.

It's mostly hearsay. Electron is highly optimized (it's chromium after all). Making an electron app doesn't make it automatically slow and clunky. That's absurd. Sure it is a browser and it takes a little more Ram than you are used to (but most machines nowadays have 8 to 16 gigs of RAM so not a huge issue).

What does make an electron app slow is the app itself. Obviously. You have VSCode that is blazing fast even for humongous files and you also have some other not so fast apps.

Another huge issue raised is size. To be honest, 100 MB isn't abnormal for a desktop app. Look at any Qt app, it can be around 100 MB too. Same for dotnet.

Of course native is better but most developers don't have the resources for that.

Edit: I see people down voting without giving any reason. I know this is an unpopular opinion but come on. The days when you could use VSCode as an example of slow, clunky Electron app are gone. What's slow and huge is Jetbrains IntelliJ or Visual Studio; both native. VSCode proved that you can make a fast electron app; it just needs work like any other thing.

We should try to talk to them, communication. We should try to survive the first contact, specially if they are pacific.

It could not be inmediately clear that a succesful peaceful first contact could lead to disastrous consequences for us.

We should pay attention to every human instint in existence, but controlling the natural agressive response to the unknown.

But the survival instintc should not be disregarded inmediately and automatically replaced with "moderation". The aftermath of an error could be beyond a point of no return for us as species.
Yeah, I do not understand those numbers. I just compiled one of my Go projects with version 1.13.8 and version 1.16.3. The size was 8.3 MB (6.5 MB after stripping), and 8.0 MB (5.8 MB after stripping) respectively.

It was actually the largest CIA armslift ever in its history.
The Brezinski quote:

Brzezinski: Yes. According to the official version of history, CIA aid to the Mujahadeen began during 1980, that is to say, after the Soviet army invaded Afghanistan, 24 Dec 1979. But the reality, secretly guarded until now, is completely otherwise: Indeed, it was July 3, 1979 that President Carter signed the first directive for secret aid to the opponents of the pro-Soviet regime in Kabul. And that very day, I wrote a note to the president in which I explained to him that in my opinion this aid was going to induce a Soviet military intervention.

It makes me think of the billions that flooded into fiber optic networks to arbitrage the information asymmetry between markets across geographic areas. Maybe we'll be thanking these defunct Bitcoin farmers for invesing so much into the grid. I know the utilities are forcing the farms to put up all the money to tie into the grid. I guess this goes the same goes for the demand for silicon fab.

This is a broad brush, are you sure the intent is always resume padding? Some folks (like me) write poorly but I find writing tests what I know (and shows me what I don’t). I share anyway so I can be corrected and learn more, and so others might benefit if they have a similar problem. Your comment felt like shaming.

100% agree, OP’s writing and content are examplary!
I myself thought no account recovery automatically meant safety. It sounds very cool. However, in the past week alone, around 10 users of Notesnook came asking for a way to recover their account because they had forgotten their password.

I mean, why should privacy be at such a huge risk to users' data?

For the tech savy, Notesnook offers account recovery by giving the user option (actual kind of forcing) to save the encryption key someplace safe. Not ideal, of course, but better than nothing.
> There’s consensus in this thread that this process reinforces corruption

There is no such consensus, and the idea that it reinforces corruption is contrary to common sense -- it's self-evident that maximum corruption bypasses specifications and public bidding altogether and just hands a contract to a politician's friend.

> If you want to prevent corruption, hire engineers directly at market rate

It's not feasible for a government to accomplish all its tasks by hiring and never by contracting. It would be incredibly wasteful because many projects are one-off, whether building a new suspension bridge or a huge new IT project. It's like saying a company should have no suppliers and write all its own software from scratch.

> just study history. The US government used to work this way

I've studied quite a bit of history thanks, and government in the US used to be quite corrupt compared to today -- just look up Tammany Hall [1] if you'd like a quick introduction. Corruption in the US has very much decreased over the past 150 years.

Outsourcing has existed as long as government has existed. I think you're confusing outsourcing as a general concept with privatization as a specific issue, which is about one-off decisions to choose to start outsourcing things that were previously done in-house. Which has its own set of pros and cons.

But no government can in-house everything. So hiring in-house is not the answer to corruption.

I don't think so. Islamic societies had already appeared and the Ottoman Empire was in the process of expand. I think Byzantium primarily controlled areas in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus. The development that happened there came later, from elsewhere.

The thing is, though, if you put such a substance in a dark vacuum, what's to stop it cooling to absolute zero?

The process of electromagnetic radiation is the inverse of electromagnetic absorption, and so what will happen here is that the sample will reach a state of thermal equilibrium with the walls of its container (or the 2.7K cosmic background radiation if we're in deep space) through the exchange of infra-red radiation. If it went to a lower temperature, we could create a perpetual motion machine by putting a thermocouple between the painted object and its container.

It is possible to cool some things with radiation, but that requires creating a state that is not in thermal equilibrium, which is not plausible for paint on a wall.

No it's much more than an act it's a way for Google to keep doing business as usual while skirting regulation, and at the same time establishing a monopoly on the advertising technology of the future. Because Google will be the gatekeeper of FLoC. Whereas with cookies they're just one of the players, albeit a huge one.

Your can bet they will throw every bit of lobbying power they have at this. No wonder some larger companies like Microsoft are not giving a hard NO.

I think it is abundantly clear that research prowess really has very little bearing on how competent you are in teaching say Linear Algebra. Which is how we got the whole MOOC thing in the first place, there is no magic Harvard Linear Algebra but there sure are tons of social mobility barriers and they don't really care for the curriculum one bit as much as having that upper strata origin Ivory league stamp of approval.

GETTING my location for a map is one thing STORING my location is quite another. Also, I might want to use map to search for where OTHER things are - I don't need to display my current location to search for "a map of Topeka Kansas".

Also, for the weather app specifically, there was a weather app that retrieved your location every 30 seconds (to give you up to date info) - and then promptly sold that data to advertisers. Just because the weather app "needs to poll my location", doesn't mean it should get fine-grained access every 4 hours.

You can already tunnel traffic over HTTPS, and I've never been to a coffee shop or library that blocked that. Have you tried that when traveling? I used to do it frequently something like 15 years ago to use SSH, Remote Desktop, anything. (Back then it was a software package called "orenosp" that you set up on your client laptop and then a server of your choice, like your home computer -- not sure what tool is popular now.)

On the other hand, public networks would only have to allow QUIC if regular HTTP(S) fallback ever stopped being supported by most webservers, which... who knows if that would ever happen.

Simple: Speculation in OTC stocks. You can see this sort of behavior all the time if you look for it.

Companies that have never made a profit, have a sketchy business model (blockchain + psilocybin is not an unusual combination), and suddenly take off from less than $1 to $10+ on pure speculation. Usually some sketchy press releases go out too but once the price gets going it is all speculation that feeds itself.
