Sure, if the conservative position is not the status quo and the progressive one is; your preventing both (and others) from being heard, adversely impacting all that are not the status quo. To the extent your “alternative” is true, its not an alternative, just a specific case of what I initially described.
I find it strange that it's so normalised to consider something as invasive and manipulative as advertising as the standard method of monetisation. How about trying to make a product so good that it has some intrinsic value that a user wants to pay for?
China pegs (floating within a range) its currency against the dollar, so that the dollar will always be a stronger currency than the yuan. This makes Chinese products cheaper in USD, which attracts consumers in the US, since China is guaranteeing the exchange rate for dollars to yuan, China ends up with USD. If things were normal China would simply use the USD to buy American goods (to be more precise, goods traded in USD including oil, which may not necessarily come from the USA). However, the trade surplus is a political goal, therefore the USD are put into the foreign exchange reserve where they are being used to buy treasury bonds. Because the money is not reaching the US economy, the US government has to either create a debt equal to the foreign exchange reserve or it can increase the money supply. If it does neither the direct result is unemployment because one person's spending is another person's income and China isn't spending.

It gets worse, because the USD is so widely adopted, transactions aren't limited to just USA <-> everyone, everyone <-> everyone is equally possible and it effectively has the same effect as the US importing products from China in regards to the deficit if the exporting side decides to purchase treasury bonds. E.g. foreign country puts the money into American companies, the investment pays off and then they use the profits to import something from China who then puts it into treasury bonds. Even though the US did nothing, the deficit must grow anyway.

Well, that is, strictly speaking, a false statement. I agree the discussion has been civil; but consider that the support to Google's position requires adding phrases to their statement which fundamentally change the statements meaning.

I'm not sure what it's called, something like the opposite of a strawman attack. It is indeed simple to defend a statement when you give yourself permission to rewrite it in a post hoc fashion. It's an argument I find uncompelling, no matter how civilly it's presented.
Ah, good point, I certainly should have said England rather than UK. Interesting that the Scottish system locks in price at the start, I wasn't aware of that - as my edit said, I didn't realise it could even be possible.

Edit: Looking into it a bit more, gazumping is rarer but not impossible in Scotland, and I don't think it's quite right to say the contract is legally binding at step 1. Things are a bit different because much of the work to determine the property's condition is done by the seller, not the buyer, in advance of offers, and many estate agents are apparently also convenyancing solicitors. And it seems gazumping is legally allowed until the contract is signed, but then the seller would need to change solicitor which acts as a disincentive.

I can't help but ask: As a security conscious person, how can you justify creating the service? You'll have the data and access of everything your customer does online, which for your target audience is everything your customer does on a computer. For the individual customer this is worse than Google, Facebook, Twitter combined. Also, you'll have an effective backdoor into every two-factor authentication, be it online banking, valuable Twitter accounts or AWS admins. There are massive monetary and political incentives to hack or infiltrate your service. Given your scale, you can't have comparable security measures to the big players. And given your location (US) you'll eventually receive national security letters forcing you to secretly sip off anything secret services or law enforcement wants you to.
This is clickbait - facebook allows you to target people by age, facebook also allows you to target people by interests. They combined these two targeting options but didn't actually run the ads - if they did try they'd see that facebook's ad approval process would take the ads down. Repeated violations would get your account banned, and any account that uses the same credit card.

> there's a massive underground devoted to beating Facebook's algorithms to get non-compliant ads running.

And they're extremely successful - I see several such ads every day. They vary from microdosing (using drugs is illegal here) to obvious scams. It looks FB completely got rid of manual review and decided algorithms can approve ads. And it failed spectacularly because any algorithm can be gamed by a creative human. Who is held accountable for it? Nobody. Something that has negative influence on others lives is presented as just a glitch in the system, not a result of an ethical decision "Yes, we can accept some percentage of scams as long as we maximize value from serving ads."
If I literally say "the mud huts aren't the point" and you reply by talking about "novel techniques for building mud huts", then I don't think you're honestly engaging with my argument.

Maritime Pines, the kind that is most common in Central Italy, have edible pine nuts.

I grew up in Italy and I remember pine nuts being much more mainstream there as a food, compared to other countries where I've lived. They are consumed both by themselves and as ingredients in various recipes (an example is Pesto sauce - the original Italian version uses pine nuts - another example is the Tuscan "torta della nonna", a type of dessert).

Obviously the ancient Roman cuisine was very different compared to modern Italian food but I suspect Romans may have been eating pine nuts too.

If there was a woman on that team it says even less good things about Apple that they shipped without it.

So you admit it's nothing to do with diversity, then, just an ambient assumption that the needs of women should automatically trump the needs of men and women combined?

The simplest explanation for Apple's decision is not that they're all raging sexists who need to be forced to hire more women by activists, but rather that when adding features to an app they are ranked by how useful they'd be to the entire userbase. Feature development is a zero sum game - adding that means not adding a different feature. Any feature exclusively for women will have half utility by that obvious metric and lose automatically to features useful for everyone. So the real question is why would anyone expect a general purpose health app to have a period tracker? Isn't that a pretty grotesque sense of entitlement by a small handful of women?

As for the others, come on. That's exactly what I mean by ridiculous arguments. Any photo app should have a black team member who is tasked to spend all day taking selfies and not, say, fixing bugs or adding features? If some company was dumb enough to actually do that, they'd just get criticised in other ways, because such black-testing jobs would be menial low wage jobs, not highly paid and respected software engineering positions. Some of those examples aren't even oversights, like Apple's straightforward prioritization decisions or the fact that Google Translate uses gendered language when translating languages that use genders pervasively. They're just stuff a small minority of activists have chosen to get faux-offended over. And the few that remain are clearly not caused by lack of diversity awareness given you chose to cite Google Home (I'll take your word for it on the stat), a product from one of the companies most visibly committed to filling the ranks with women. They even hired a black female AI ethics researcher, so obviously it's not lack of diversity that caused the training set problems.

In other words none of the examples you cite have anything to do with "diversity" and cannot, because as you admit, you have no idea what the demographics of those teams is. You're just assuming that they must be all made up of un-caring men who never think about others, which is exactly the sexist assumption underlying all identity politics that I highlighted!
Most EVs indeed use regenerative braking. Which means your brake pads last a lot longer as you barely use them. Tire particles are a bigger problem. Just think of the mass of tires that you erode away before you replace them (routinely) and compare that to the brake pads you replace much less often. And it's not just the tires that erode but also the road. Asphalt particles are nasty as well. Though most of that dust is quite coarse and doesn't stay in the air as long. But then, tire and road dust is apparently the biggest source of microplastics in our oceans. It washes away, enters our sewers, rivers, and eventually the oceans. It's bad for different reasons as well.
> If you have used this nightmare, or have tried to solve a property dispute about party-walls/land-boundaries, you know how insufficient the system is.

Elaborate: how is a central registry a problem for property disputes? Disputes are unrelated to how you store the information. If there is a dispute you always need some form of external arbitration to resolve it. A central registry of ownership or other titles does not change anything about that.

I live in a country with a land registry and it's a very well working system.
What works really well for me is using the pre-commit framework (https://pre-commit.com/). This offers an easy way for everybody to run defined hooks locally before committing or pushing changes. That allows people to solve problems before pushing code, but if they don't, they'll get punished by CI, as the same hooks run there as well.

The Model 3 has a ARS-4B radar and these things usually already do perception for you, so the output is a list of vehicle velocity and pose. Given what I know about Autopilot , I don't see how is that hard to fuse. And I doubt the supplier of the radar (Continental) gave Tesla raw data access.

I just think there's more to the story than we're getting. Impossible to tell for an outsider though.
I drive a 12yo hybrid and my annecdotal experience suggests that isn't correct.

I drive mainly around the city and had to replace brake pads recently as they became rusty (salt during winter). The pads had been on for 80,000km and were less than half worn. On regular ICE cars (which have bigger brake pads) you'd usually have to replace them well before that point as they'd be worn down. I'd imagine they last even longer on newer hybrid and EVs.
This is a good place to start:

Honestly I am for a single store and for pushing all things through Apple Pay etc etc (send your hate of my fanboyism to email in my profile). But…

It seems this is a fight not worth dying for. Sure Apple and Google will fight and spend millions on lawyers but ultimately whether they win in court they’ll likely lose the next time legislation gets passed. Better to instead be thinking about the next must have gadget or service to further their business than the AppStore.

> "We had one client who needed something loaded in May that was extremely urgent and who was ready to pay $15,000 per container."

Irrelevant observation that will impress none of you.

I first studied business (informally, I was just a kid reading books at the library) 50 years ago when the container business was relatively new. When I first started businesses around 35 years ago shipping was still pretty expensive.

So for me, the thought of spending $15K to ship 2,400 cubic feet of pretty much anything is kind of awesome. From lumber to textiles to appliances to iPhones (okay, the last one is a layup) a motivated businessperson could probably still figure out how to make that work in a lot of contexts.

There are tons of possibilities in this world and they're always expanding.

I agree the money supply inflation is scary but that's only because it doesn't end up in the real economy - most of it ends up in the stock markets propping up share prices.

Actually using the freshly minted money to do stuff like infrastructure investments - no matter what, across the Western countries all kinds of infra are derelict - would cause an instant trickle-down effect since almost all of that is manual hard labor.

> Every cow produces it.

Every individual cow does produce CO2 and Methane. But that's not causing rapid climate change. The root cause is perceiving cows - or meat in general - as a commodity.

Factory farming, raising and keeping tens of thousands of animals, has little to do with the historically intricate relationship between individual humans and cattle. It's about producing as much of a resource as possible in order to compete on an open market. In such a model, CO2 and Methane are costs to the farm that need to be externalized as cheaply as possible.

Not to mention externalized costs further down the chain to the customer such as the waste of unsold produce, single use plastic packaging, transport and so on.

> And do you have a conflict that you are able to pay higher prices for meat than a lot of other people?

Not OP. I buy meat from a local butcher or farm.

No. I don't have that conflict for several reasons.

First, I rather buy quality meat once a week which I consume sparingly, then cheap, processed meat daily or even multiple times a day. So, that evens the costs out for me.

Second, I choose to pay a higher price. Why? Because that's closer to the true cost of keeping and raising healthy cattle on a small, sustainable scale. What I get is a quality product.

Third, I make self-cooked meals on a daily basis. I'm a stickler for good, tasty food. Choosing to approach meat more carefully prompted me to adapt my diet and replace the dishes I used to make. This is a positive experience since there's an absolute wealth of dishes out there that don't require meat. The meat I do buy and prepare only get minimally wasted (e.g. freezing portions, making stock,...)

Fourth, I don't support a model where the abundant availability of meat globally is taken for granted, even though the environmental and social costs are clearly there. My effort is entirely insignificant on a global scale, but at least it makes me sleep just ever so slightly better at night. That's more then enough for me.

It depends on what kind of economy you are in. If you are Turkey and you are struggling with a lack of domestic savings because everyone tries to keep their capital safe then you must do more investments than you can afford to keep growing. The lack of savings drive up the interest rate and ultimately put a stop to growth or slow it down significantly.

The US isn't in this position, it's a mature economy that keeps outsourcing the easy work to other countries, relative to investments there is too much in savings and those savings are in the bank accounts of corporations who would invest, if they saw a reason to do so. Assuming another fall in inflation, there won't be any reason to put the money to good use. If inflation rises over time and stays at slightly above 2% then those savings will be eroded because they can't lend the money to anyone to obtain interest, they'd have to lend the savings to themselves, or to consumers (bad idea unless they start a company). If companies fail to invest in anticipation of inflation, then the people who receive the fresh money will get to spend it, which will drive demand for products and therefore demand for companies to invest their savings into more production.

> On the consumer side, RDNA2 is raster, transistor, and power (albiet on a more efficient node) competitive with Ampere, which is big step up from previous generations. Thanks to having performance competitive top-end/halo cards, AMD GPUs have gotten a consumer mindshare win that they haven't had in years.

TBH, the only reason I pay 800$ for a card today is to play games with ray tracing on at an acceptable resolution. This is only possible with nvidia RTX + DLSS.

I wouldn't pay 800$ for an AMD card that gets me similar rasterization performance but none of the "modern" (3 year old already...) features I care about.

Right now, _any_ GFX card is better than having no GFX. Both NVIDIA and AMD are sold out.

I can't know how real the AMD mindshare is. We probably could only know if we had a market with enough supply of both.
