A Google account has incredible breadth. I understand they have to deal with an incredible scale of fraud but surely they can differentiate between a recently created account using a few of their products for fraud vs. an account that has human-looking activity over a longer period of time.
They are just not. The Honeywell switches feel like crap IMO. There are no cursor keys. A 104 key Unicomp has better switches and better ergonomics, and just as many function keys - the only thing missing is a 5th (Symbol) modifier key. All you need is the proper key mapping. A 109 key Japanese keyboard is going to have more modifier keys available, and you can get them in your choice of switches.

Please don't part out keyboards from old computer systems so you can use them with your Macbook. Give them to people who are actually working on collecting and preserving the old systems.

Yes it is a shame - while the ACCC often is well motivated, it lacks any sense of philosophical purity in its solutions.

So you often see things that are highly anti-freedom, anti-democratic and ultimately anti-consumer come out as a result of its actions. The recent forced negotiation of Google/Facebook with news publishers is an example of this where they have no problem compromising completely fundamental aspects of the internet (the freedom to link to somebody else's intellectual property without fear) to achieve some dot point in their bureaucratic consumer-focused mandate (ensure consumers have access to a diversity of news).

Having lived in Central America, I can tell you that almost none of the recommendations[1] here are relevant, at least in relation to the kind of air pollution that kills the numbers of people shown in those graphs. Smoky fires (mostly for cooking) inside small huts are everywhere in much of the world, and very few of the affected people understand the risks. Even if they did, they rarely have any viable alternatives.

If you tried to tell those people about particle counters or HEPA filters, you might as well tell them about cold fusion while you're at it. Sure, all the things mentioned might help, but for anyone with the means to follow the recommendations in this article (and with the ability to read an article), I can almost guarantee that air quality is not going to be a major factor in your life expectancy.

It's only a very small minority of engineers who do. Unless you're a PE and you get to sign off on large development projects, there's no real accountability.

Why do people keep lots of tabs open?

I've asked colleagues who keep lots of tabs open why they do it, and the answer they generally give me is so that they can keep track of things. Is this why most people have lots of tabs open?

I often use Cmd+Option+Q to quit my browser, which also closes all tabs. I've never had a problem going back to wherever I need by typing in the address bar. The smart results quickly identify what I need and I select that result from the list (e.g., type the first few letters of a recent Google doc title, and it's there)

Can someone who does like a lot of tabs open explain the benefits?
It will take time for exhaust particles to be significantly reduced as a result of EVs, plus, the increased weight of EVs will create more tire and asphalt wear, which is also quite bad (possibly worse).

A simple 20 x 20 Box fan with a furnace HEPA filter placed against it (just turn on fan and place filter behind it) will do wonders for your indoor air quality. The 3M 2200 Series Filtrete Filters are amazing. You also always want to cook with the Hood Fan going. The particulate that is created during cooking is so small it can pass through the lungs into your blood stream causing havoc.

Is the country (U.S.) truly going as crazy as we think?
I like to toss around ideas quite a bit. Mostly I find I'm the only one listening :)

I've been thinking recently about the state of the country, all the crazy news I read and the perspective I've gained from it all (especially during and now shortly after the "Trump years").

What I've sort of come up with is a way of reasoning about the situation we appear to have gotten ourselves into.

One part of the premise is that, even though it's been in full fledged use by most of the country for a few decades now, the internet is still in its infancy. If we really think about this the internet has brought so much power to so many people we're really still trying to figure out all the powers it has (and will) bestowed upon the World.

CONTINUED IN COMMENTS...
Thanks. It's worked very well for us and really helped with contact tracing.

But what democratic countries are mandating the use of covid apps?
CONTINUED...

One of the undeniable facts about the internet is it has brought all classes of society to the playing field. There are still some things out of reach, especially if they cost alot but the internet has made it possible for companies (or individuals) to empower others almost at will.

So, the question then becomes "what are we supposed to do with all that power?".

I sort of think there have been a lot of directions different countries have taken in terms of how they are enabling their citizens. But one thing seems certain, the US govt has mostly been hands-off in terms of how the internet is used by its citizens.

On the other hand you have malicious governments who now have the ability to leverage the lower classes of their societies in "new and innovative ways". I think about just how "hands-on" a government needs to be with its poor in order to produce the kinds of mass deception they're trying to create. These are quite possibly Manhattan Project levels of efforts going into these mills (or whatever they're called these days).

I don't really know at this point if we can fault our government for not being more hands-on with how our lower classes are utilizing the internet. We are trying at the corporate level it seems for example with Twitter and Facebook blocking the virality of fake news, etc.

What I think we should really be asking our elected officials is how can we not be more pro-active in stopping these (likely) massive projects that are happening in other countries and making the information public for all to see. In fact I'm even wondering whether or not many of our elected officials even know the depth of it due to the (possibly) top-secret nature of the intel.

But when I piece this all together I get the impression that there is a lot of pro-active coordination in foreign countries leveraging their lower classes to fight this cyber war. On the other hand I see our lower class (and likely to some degree middle and upper classes) as being full on manipulated by what's going on out there.

We really do need more transparency around what the highest levels of our government know about this stuff in order to enable us to leverage this information at the federal, state, and local levels.
Right, but that's a choice someone has made. You or someone has decided "I am going to build or use tools that can't be debugged".

We should be at a point of maturity in software tooling where that never happens, at least for commercial software companies. I don't much mind what anyone uses in the free time or on their solo SaaS, but as service providers we should be aiming to use mature and effective tooling.

I'm not sure what you mean about performance, since debugging is something you should be doing once off in a local development environment, it shouldn't impact performance for users. Even videogame engines can be debugged. If you've got an issue only happening in production, you should probably try and replicate the production environment so you can debug it locally instead of messing about in prod.

Chinese authoritarian state intervention isn't a bogeyman, it's a real threat first and foremost to its own people, and secondarily to those who do (especially tech) business there.

This is a really cute pep talk. "Think outside the box. Just like apple did." But it is completely devoid of meaning.

On what grounds do you suggest you know anything about how apple accomplished M1?

Or are you just intuiting that it was some sort of "outside the box" thinking?

Maybe it was raw engineering and management mastery combined with elite head hunting and millions of dollars poured into research and design over the course of a decade?

Nah. Apple's too cool for that. Probably some eureka moment during meditation class, right?
Consumer CPU, APU, Server CPU, Semi-Custom ( Consoles ), are all doing great as expected. What is missing is the GPU big picture. I dont see evidence of AMD discrete GPU winning any market shares and seems to be dominated by Nvidia.

AMD only have two more years to enjoy their advantage from Intel's multiple missteps. After that it is going to be tough. And that is excluding the threat from ARM.

The best case solution would be a passive house with MVHR (Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery) and incoming air filtration. This means your home has a steady flow of fresh, low-CO2 air that is filtered for pollen and other particles (depending on the air filter chosen).

It's reached the point where, for example, a Dell AMD server is 99% identical to a Dell Intel server (but cheaper and faster of course) so the only real barrier to switching is psychological.
Reminds me of cigarette advertising in Formula 1, where brands like Phillip Morris have constantly tried to find new ways to sneak imagery and color schemes onto the cars that are reminiscent of their branding despite cigarette ads being banned in the early 2000s. There have been cars the looked exactly like a Marlboro pack (red car, white chevron rear wing), sponsored by Marlboro, but without the actual word Marlboro that have been allowed to race.

They even created a new entity (Mission Winnow) in 2018 which is purportedly an initiative “to create engagement around the role of science, technology and innovation as a powerful force for good in any industry”, whatever that means. Conveniently, MW has the same color scheme and a suspiciously similar "M" logo to Marlboro, and surprise, they've been a title sponsor of the Ferrari cars since, though they didn't use the branding in 2020 after countries started investigating whether they were flaunting the ad ban.
Not watching YouTube ads means they get less money. Yes, there are still alternatives for them to eek out some revenue, but they are making less than if you just watched the ad or got YT premium
> Google will never tell you why they banned you from AdSense/AdMob. (Honestly, it sort of makes sense that they share no evidence, because Google doesn’t want people to learn how Google detects click fraud.)

No, I don't think that makes sense. Google is not sharing this information because they want to protect their own business, but in doing so, they are shifting all risk to the app developers. If you have a business model that only works because your process for removing bad actors is kept secure by obscurity, then maybe you should rethink whether your business model is sound?

While phone apps fall into the app store trap, browser are also falling into the cloud trap.

Years ago i've put myself into this path to build something that could help a little bit on this.

That's the same argument people use against legalizing gay marriage or creating laws forbidding private businesses from discriminating against gay people. "You're not going to make anyone not homophobic this way!"

No, not immediately. But if you ban politics in this context then you are tacitly encouraging homophobic behaviour.

Bob: "Boss, Fred is being homophobic"

Boss: "What happened?"

Bob: <retells above story>

Boss: "Look, don't ask don't tell. He didn't force you to make it a thing. He didn't say anything. What exactly did he do wrong? He's right, you're the one that made it political, and we banned that at the office."

> On the contrary, it's in the face of ambiguity and subjectivity that management has to make hard decisions based on philosophy and values; leadership exists to clarify grey areas.

From the article:

"That confusion is compounded by the fact that, for a small company, Basecamp has taken an outsized number of political stances — all of which employees are encouraged to discuss. Most prominently, the company and its founders have been vocal critics of Apple’s 30 percent tax on in-app purchases. But it has also involved itself in politics at a much lower level: in 2018 Basecamp let a candidate for Chicago mayor use its office in the West Loop as a campaign headquarters.

Basecamp employees are encouraged to discuss the company’s own political positions — or, perhaps more accurately, the founders’ political positions — as much as they like. Keeping track of which issues of the moment are up for discussion thus becomes one more chunk of mental overhead for employees who are already struggling."

There's no clarification here - since they've banned political discussion and this is a subjective boundary - nothing has been adequately clarified.

And saying they're just banning the "needlessly emotional responses" is again, not clear.
I am very aware of the details of the accusations. My personal belief, backed with some actual detailed real life knowledge, is that most people who think that discrimination is going on don’t understand one of two related things:

1. How elite school applicants are rated. Most folks seem to think it’s just test scores and maybe grades. It’s not.

2. What successful applicants at elite schools look like on paper. Most people think that elite school student bodies are just a bunch of brainiacs with near perfect grades and scores. While grades and scores are certainly high, the defining characteristic of the core admits are that they have done something of note at the regional, national, or international level (not always true of fringe admits, but that’s a different story). Sometimes these people don’t even have near perfect test scores or grades (frankly, some come across as not terribly smart at all), but they are able to get compelling things done.

I recommend reading Cal Newport’s book on elite school admissions to get a better idea of how to get in.

Also, it seems like two courts have said that Harvard in particular did not discriminate against Asians.
