The headline is provocative, as headlines often are.

The article also focuses heavily on the Times but mentions that FB has these deals with other publishers too. To the extent that there’s ire in the article, I think it would be better focused on Facebook.

The ad-supported business model of newspapers has always been problematic. In theory there’s a firewall between the business side and the journalists, but my faith that this is the case is reduced when orgs like the NYT get rid of their public editor.

The NDA between FB and the publishers is really gross. It shackles the NYT from covering itself and keeps the various orgs that have this deal from reporting about it on each other. It’s not a good sign when the NYT can’t hold the WSJ accountable. This part is weird tho:

> Facebook has been funneling money to The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, ABC News, Bloomberg, and other select paid partners since late 2019. [...] The exact terms of these deals remain secret, because Facebook insisted on nondisclosure and the news organizations agreed. The Wall Street Journal reported that the agreements were worth as much as $3 million a year...

So the WSJ is reporting on the deal despite signing the NDA?
The term "technical debt" itself annoys me. It's like "codependency," a term you have to think through again every time you encounter it.

Most likely a very large discrepancy between the rich and poor?

Hong Kong’s poor is around 30% of the population under the poverty line or something like that? Here’s an older article saying 20% but was a few years back https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/nov/20/hong-kong-20-o...
Yes. It seems there is no distinct SSD on the system. The M1 SoC seems to communicate with raw flash. I tried looking up the datasheet for the flash ICs (SDRGJHI4) to see if they would leave any clues but it’s not publicly available AFAICT. This is rather interesting that Apple has custom or semi-custom IP that manages raw flash as part of their SoC. That does seem like a natural outgrowth of shipping iPhones for so many years.

The specific logical signals between separate IPs on the SoC is slightly less interesting to me then. It’s likely something similar to ACE5, like you said, for sharing the memory bus.
Yes it is an Apple app, and it doesn’t seem to have caught on, but it’s a good value if you are actually subscribing to newspapers and magazines today. Apparently it was built from an acquisition of an app known as texture but the Android app was shut down after acquisition.

Is there anything to stop SoftBank just moving the headquarters somewhere else and then selling? Or selling the IP to an overseas subsidiary, or some other way big Corps usually ignore what governments want them to do?
It absolutely is. I detest Facebook's level of tracking and invasion of people's privacy but I'll be damned if it doesn't enable businesses of any size to market with the same power previously reserved for supermassive brands for pennies.

I feel like there's basically no allowable nuance in this discussion because holding any opinion than "tracking is 100% bad with literally no upsides for anyone other than ad networks any business that claims to get any value whatsoever is being misled" is taken as a defense of the current state of internet advertising and is the digital equivalent of burying your head in the sand while everyone else continues like you don't exist.

If you can't understand and explain why the fence was put there then you'll get nowhere trying to argue that it should be torn down.
I see a lot of replacements for more stiff plastics that can be done another way such as the "push pop" deodorants mentioned in other comments.

I'm curious what alternatives there are for squeeze bottle items (ketchup, shampoo, etc.) I know that there are alternatives (obviously ketchup comes in glass bottles) but how do you replicate the squeeze bottle with something other than plastic. Right now I have an image in my mind of a juice box full of shampoo, but I haven't actually seen any replacements like this around.
My guess is that the creepiness comes from the fractal-like nature of these letters -- taking the thing that makes the letter unique and overiterating it. Since nature constructs itself in fractal geometry, the letters are stuck in a half-baked transition from symbolic to organic, and our expectations are left bouncing between the two.

If you could put the word "caterpillar" in a cocoon and hatch a real butterfly from it, these letters are what it would look like if someone cut the cocoon open too early.

I think we shouldn't be naïve about how money works to influence actions.

Proving the quid pro quo is hard, but just the knowledge that the money is there and can go away at the whim of a private actor will having a chilling effect on the sort of content you report on.

Journalistic entities have an incentive to project an image of an unbiased, principles institution untouched by the private business world, but as someone who was raised by two editors, that narrative is more mythos than reality.

I'm sorry if my tone didn't convey my meaning. I don't think an Apple service is an analog to a cross-platform, non-device manufacturer content aggregator.

Given Apple platform support on Android and Linux, I don't think it's something I'd find much value in. I'd be shocked if they even had an Android app. If they don't, the suggestion is a total non-starter.

I could be wrong, but based on previous experience, I'm probably not going to investigate until I hear my friends using Android talking about Apple News.

I'd like to see a Spotify for news. I saw that another comment mentioned Substack, which seems interesting and could be along those lines.
Right. I would like to have Netflix for news. Pay $10 a month. And have access to NYT, NPR, The Economist et al. I want it to be easy to sign in and out.
Not meant as joke. I'm aware that there are lots of good reasons for not eating beef, I was wondering if prion exposure risk is one of them, as the meat/no-meat argument is one I try to revaluate regularly as new info comes to light. I eat beef once or twice a week as I have found it hard to get sufficient iron, protein, b12 and enough calories in general without it (and other meats). That and it tastes good, but I'm always receptive to new counterpoints.
That can be generalized to any journalist or media organization. Their currency is fear.

An inflatable swimming pool relies on the watertight bottom to hold shape. Without a sealed bottom you're building a flood barrier. You need something that both molds to the shape of the surface, and is heavy enough to provide the downward force to prevent water from going under it. Inflatable flood barriers exist and are filled with water.

by an open federated protocol I understand the likes of email or xmpp, or TCP, for that matter. Standardized and developed by an independent entity, for better or worse. Where the power of any single developer is checked by other developers and the standards body. Currently, matrix.org owners can unilaterally change the protocol in any way they like, upgrading their server that hosts the vast majority of users, and all the other independent implementations would be left in the dust.

Until this is possible, it is not really a protocol, it's more like a private API available on multiple instances.
Getting paid appropriately to do work that you genuinely enjoy is a privilege. It certainly is nice if it works out that way, but most of the time it does not. A lot of the work that needs to be done in the software world (that pays well) is just not terribly interesting.

My work is not always very exciting, and that's okay. I work normal hours and have purchased my own beautiful home at 24. After work I have freedom to do whatever, and enough money to pursue pretty much any hobby that I want. My employer sponsors books, courses, and conferences, and provides great healthcare.

I would rather have a stable, but boring, job over being broke and working on something interesting.

> That's true, but I don't think it's very comparable to slices

It's exactly the same.

> With slices, you have to explicitly reallocate either by creating a whole new slice or using append.

That's a distinction without a difference. `append` does not "explicitly reallocate", it may or may not reallocate, you've no idea. Even if the backing array is full, it might be realloc'd in-place.

> On the other hand, maps may end up resizing on any operation that involves them, or even theoretically in the background without any operations (during GC, for example).

So?

Also technically nothing prevents a GC from reallocating the slice.

> It would be unfortunate to lose that implementation flexibility, and keeping it means that you're essentially picking the "make a copy" option.

I've never heard of a hashmap implementation which would do otherwise.

Trying to extend in-place and attempting to properly redistribute if that works sounds like absolute hell. Likewise trying to shrink in-place, though at least you've got some scratch space which you don't have in the other case: you'd have to segregate everything into one half of the map then insert them in the other half, before shrinking your allocation, which might give you a new allocation anyway, at which point you've moved all your values thrice whereas just creating a new allocation and reinserting your stuff there is a single move.
My feeling from speaking to doctors (including an ENT specialist) is that while in our perception Covid eclipses everything else, for them it's just another infection on top of everything else.

In truth? I don't think your competent enough to get that far.

but more deeply its both trust security, and legal liability.

First you need to gain access to the system in the first place. Then you need to have unfettered access and be undetected. Considering this has been the number one ledger attack since the beginning of time (which is why tally sticks were a thing, and double entry book keeping) There are lots of systems in place to stop, detect or alert. Not only that you have the statement generating system which sends out physical copies of the account monthly.

Second we would need clearing houses to not notice that there is a mismatch in funds.

third when you try to extract that cash, we'd need the money laundering alarms to not go off. Which, if you've tried to buy a house in the UK, you know is not at all trivial.

You have to realise that the banking system is reliant on a bunch of very bored, highly motivated, fresh out of uni graduates to tally, move and generally be the grease that moves capital about. They will have tried all sorts of tricks to cheat, scam & salami slice money. There is a huge amount of effort going on to stop, detect and deflect fraud. Mainly because the banks are liable for it.

So for standard bank accounts, the chance of someone getting access to a server and changing the values of my account and not being detected are pretty limited. Not impossible, but small.

And thats the key. If the bank cocks up, the law is very much on my side as a consumer. the bank will be compelled to reverse the fraud. If they don't they get fined and or loose their license (although in practice, I don't think thats likely.)

With zero trust, if someone cocks up a digital contract and someone extracts the entire escrow value, game over. no recourse, other than to try and take the perp to court.

I’ve been watching whether there are AMD laptops in retail stores for years. I’ve been pretty consistently disappointed. I’d estimate I saw about 10 Intel laptops for 1 AMD for sale. They typically only ever had lower tier stuff if anything at all. Usually the bottom tier APUs. None of the higher range processors that were competitive. It created an image that AMDs processors are only low range.

The last time I went to Costco though, they had an HP Envy x360 with an AMD 4700u in it. There was maybe a 1 to 4 ratio of AMD to Intel machines. I think AMDs offerings are too good to ignore at this point.

A nice science project and possibly of use in desert climates or in tiny, extremely densely populated, nations like Singapore. But I don't see how it would be viable or why it would be needed for the vast majority of the world's agriculture. Rain is free.

"two of the world’s biggest problems – water scarcity and food shortage"... neither of these are big problems, or even problems, for the "world". Water scarcity is a problem in a few areas. The world produces multiple times more food than humans could possibly eat (most is fed to animals). Any famine is a local/social/logistical/political problem.
Adding to this, that whole render pass concept in the Vulkan API was the TBDR vendors being very active contributors to the API. More explicitly describing the data flow there allows TBDR arch's to work on multiple parts of modern render graphs simultaneously and keep their tiles filled with work in places where the other synchronization methods wouldn't (or would require the kind of divination on the part of the driver that Vulkan is trying to avoid).
Moreover, if the UK had a strategic leverage objection why didn't they register that objection at that original sale to Softbank?

> Maybe I just need to be honest with my managers/co-workers and say that I can't focus on my project and I need some quick wins to get back to being productive.

You're right; I wouldn't necessarily use those exact words, but back when I was at a large telecom, my entire job was made up of projects that I created while being briefly burned-out on something else (usually on time outside of the 40-hour work-week). The additional upshot is that it often led to great improvements in whatever I was stuck on, because I'd pick a project that had a related design complication/issue where that issue was easier to solve/reason about[0].

My usual approach would be to say "I'm stuck on a few things with this project, but I have some ideas -- I just need to try them out on something simpler, so here's what I'd like to do" and follow with a well reasoned argument that serves more than my own sanity as its benefits. Most of the people I've worked for don't require much in the way of an explanation[1] but a few have been difficult -- but I solved that by changing positions since this only happened to me at the global telecom I worked at (it was also a small factor in my accepting a position at another company[2]).

[0] For various reasons -- sometimes it was written in a language that I wasn't familiar enough to understand the more advanced usages of it, sometimes it was just really complex code that I fully understood the design/code behind each of the pieces, just not "as a single thing".

[1] With no real correlation between "dev" and "non-dev" managers. I've had non-dev managers that are very receptive because they trust me, and they recognize they don't have the knowledge to challenge my conclusions, and I've had non-dev managers that think manufacturing widgets and writing code are perfect metaphors. I've had dev managers that hear the first part of the argument and say "do what you need to do" and dev managers (usually less experienced) who believe there's no difference between a small CRUD app and a globally distributed, multi-threaded access auditing, requesting and provisioning system.

[2] I hesitate to mention it -- the gentleman involved was a fine manager, he just didn't work with any of the technologies that my expertise was in at the time. Over the last decade, I ended up studying the things he had expertise in, and I'd be willing to bet this factor would have gone away, entirely, had I already had this expertise.
Don’t think that’s right. Flogging something means to sell it, usually in a careless kind of manner.
Substack (to me) is more of a lens you put on to consume the news. Multiple other use cases but most people are paying and trusting someone to filter the noise for them.

Uh, say again?

Let's guess at a CPM of $10, and "millions" to be "2 million". That would be 200 million hits. You seriously think that an interview with a tech CEO whom few normal people will have heard of is going to have double the audience of the Superbowl?

I'd bet that in reality interviews with tech execs do horribly when it comes to generating traffic, but are done for the prestige of publishing something that looks like traditional journalism.

Named types that can be dispatched on are classes, see CLOS. Hell, even in Python, classes are pretty much the named types that you can dispatch on, although of course, in Python, you generally can't create different kinds of types that can't be dispatched on like types satisfying a predicate - at least to my knowledge you can't, so the difference is somewhat less tangible there.
Privacy Guard in Cyanogenmod used to do this I think, at least to fake the list to be empty. It somehow still broke a tiny number of apps (unintentionally, i.e. the app owners didn't purposefully add code to annoy those users) so there seems to have been some flaw between 'empty list with permission granted' and 'empty list with permission not granted'. Regardless, I'm not sure why this didn't become mainline Android aside from that it would come with no benefits to the main developer of Android.

This is the result of 40+ years of conservative propaganda harping on how "government is the problem" and "government is bloated and their involvement makes everything worse" so now corporations are the only ones left with power and trust to address large scale issues.
