Not saying you’re wrong, but this feels like a pretty convenient separation for facebook to hide behind.

A good journalist has a pretty strict code of ethics that they won’t cross under any circumstances. Getting an ad approved without running it doesn’t cross the code of ethics for most journalists, but running it would (even for 5 minutes; don’t blame them, selling gambling to random kids is bad for any amount of minutes, especially if you can’t go and debrief your victims).

I think getting an ad like this approved is news worthy in and of it self, even though nothing illegal nor immoral was directly demonstrated. What was demonstrated is the potential for this to happen, and that what you would expect to be a safeguard against this (an approval process) is either not a safeguard at all or is insufficient. Either way it is news worthy (albeit the latter case a lot more news worthy; but harder to investigate).

The problem with facebook is that it is so personalized and it is really hard for a third party to investigate any other person’s experience. For a journalist investigating what goes on for other people is hard at best. Seeing what gets approved is one way of investigating.
I also don't understand why they objected to skiplagged. If they make money on the flight if I'm in the seat, wouldn't they make slightly more (saving on fuel) if I'm not on it? Why would they care? Plus, the slightly less populated flight might be a bit more pleasant to the passengers sitting nearby where the missing person would've sat.
I hope the Droidscript devs do take it to F-Droid, but as it stands, the app faces a few hurdles before the F-Droid team will accept it.
Are you sure that you are thinking on a system that is fair to everyone and not just what is best for you? The core idea of taxes is that, to try and devise a system fair to everyone. The current system is not.
Just responding to this comment because all the comments below it seem to be tone deaf and are just complaining about Governments.

BAS (and all tax documents) can still be submitted via a Tax Agent or via Mail. There is no "lock in". Chances are if you own a computer, you own an android and an apple phone, who cares.

While I agree, one of the biggest stumbling blocks is the engineering challenge. The architectures we're using nowadays for machine learning are terribly inefficient when compared to human brain (energy consumption- and performance-wise). And we already hitting the wall with the size we could go down to and frequency, so a completely novel approach would be needed if we want to use the resultant AI outside of datacenters.

Given the recent developments, I don't think it's impossible to use laboratory-grown neurons for such development, although it's hard to imaging something like this appearing between 2030 and 2040.

Just as with most things for physical evidence, paper trail documenting what was done by whom and when, plus the testimony of these people. Think the equivalence of "how do you verify that the fingerprints shown as exhibit A were actually taken off that gun?" - if it's disputed, the forensics expert testifies what they did and without very specific counterarguments the juries generally trust that it's true.
It is not binomial, plenty of content creators want their videos ad free and ask for donations through a donation platform. I engage with those.

Agreed. I really wish they would go decentralised. If they did, I'd order up my 1gbit/1gbit dedicated link at the office and offer it up immediately.
Maybe, if China would curtail their CFC usage perhaps.

...A recently reported slowdown in the decline of the atmospheric concentration of CFC-11 after 2012, however, suggests that global emissions have increased...

We show that emissions from eastern mainland China are 7.0 ± 3.0 (±1 standard deviation) gigagrams per year higher in 2014–2017 than in 2008–2012, and that the increase in emissions arises primarily around the northeastern provinces of Shandong and Hebei. This increase accounts for a substantial fraction (at least 40 to 60 per cent) of the global rise in CFC-11 emissions.

Still, the Montreal Protocol is a good example of what can be achieved when we finally reach an imminent crisis.
I never said it's the increase of meat in my diet that makes me feel better, but more likely the elimination of everything else. Grains were not the only factor, though a big one for me.

Also, ketosis is a superior state of being than the carb/insulin/blood sugar rollercoaster IMO.
Requiring a paid login is certainly fine as long as the client application is entirely free software.

Ads are probably fine if they are shown using free software but will be marked as an anti-feature. Same for tracking.

In app payment is probably fine too, and will not be subject to a 30% fee or something.
Exactly this.

Sales taxes aren't a particularly balanced way of taxation.

Someone living paycheck to paycheck essentially spends all of their income, which means that they pay the full amount of sales tax possible for someone with that income. Compared to someone saving or investing who doesn't pay as much tax as they could.

A little simplified because sales taxes typically don't apply to things like rent, but the point still stands.

The best way to tax the "rich" is normally a wealth tax – taxing the retained wealth rather than income or outgoings (sales tax). This could be a direct wealth tax, a property tax, inheritance tax, all sorts of options but they all have similar effects, outsized on the rich, small on the poor.

It's not illegal to use outdated software. It would be illegal to use tools without a license. That might very well put pressure on LEA to abandon Cellebrite for a vendor that makes stronger promises[1] here.

Also LEA could very well now be reminded to not break the law themselves and put pressure on vendors. Somebody in charge of procurement doesn't usually care much about the finer details of whether it works or is the right tool (they have other people to decide upon which tools they might find useful to procure). But procurement does take not over licensing cost and its terms.

Also licensing cost has always been a issue with justifying use of Cellebrite. Any excuse to switch to a different product would just be icing on the cake. E.g. 1 seat for Cellebrite costs about as much as a Grayshift license for the whole team.

[1] whether that will improve things for the person that finds themselves as the target of these tools is another matter.

This is very backwards. As percentage of income poor people pay more than rich. If you want to tax über wealthy just tax wealth directly (let’s say 3% on all US citizens and residents on all things values above $10mil).

This sort of subpoena clearly shows one of two things: 1. the government/law enforcement really don't have any idea how technology works; 2. they don't care and they're just trying their luck anyway.

Either or it shows how tone deaf the state is when it comes to modern technologies.
In the first reply you wrote, it was unclear to me if / easy to get the impression that, you would have ignore those who discriminated based on differences -- good that you clarified here that it wasn't meant in that way :-)
What book would be a good introduction to this genre?
Last year I read Masters of Doom by David Kushner after someone mentioned it on Hacker News. It was the best book I had read in a long time. It won't improve your skills, but I think it will motivate and inspire you to immerse yourself (if we're talking programming, doing small projects and getting feedback is a better way to improve your skills anyway).

I am not a lawyer.

The lawyers at DOJ know what they are doing (notwithstanding the history or fact that signal will respond with little information): The subpoena has a request for interstate wire to help them quash future motions to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds.

Whatever statute they're looking to charge will have an element of federal jurisdiction attached and interstate wire works great even if there are other ways. It's easy to ask, so they'll ask for it all.
As a small-time indie app developer, enabling ads was more trouble than it's worth...

Because I have so little traffic, I'm exposed to more ad-fraud and false clicks from competitors.

I shut off all ads on my apps for now, and my goal changed form making money to acquiring users
The reason they've mentioned "first half" of 2016 is because this isn't first such subpoena. See: https://signal.org/bigbrother/eastern-virginia-grand-jury/

Doubtful there's any connection between the two.

The described cellebrite tool is not used to read chips removed from the board, it attaches to an unopened, unmodified phone over a standard external interface and extracts data over that.
> If people really want anted to tax the rich the majority of taxes would come from sales taxes and minority from property taxes.

No, if people really wanted to tax the rich, it wouldn’t be by consumption taxes, as the rich have a lower marginal propensity to consume. That makes as much sense as taxing the rich via progressive income taxes, but making capital gains taxed at a lower top marginal rate with a less-progressive structure and labor income subject to special additional taxes. Both are tax-the-rich theater.

If you want to tax the rich, use a progressive income tax and also:

(1) treat capital income as normal income, not some specially favored category.

(2) treat gifts and inheritances received as normal income, not some special category with exemptions that no non-rich person will ever exhaust.

(3) treat labor income as normal income, not some special disfavored category with additional taxes on both the recipient and the provider of the income.
This situation has convinced me to buy a completely new system when prices come down again and use the old one as a server/backup.

Of course I believe the subsequent backtracking. Have you read the New York Times article? Most people aren't racists.

A lot of people have times when they don't think about how their words will be perceived. I sure have, and I'm sure you have too. However, I do not believe such minor stupidity should result in immediate loss of job, without warning.

A number of Kosuke Kindaichi movies are available on Netflix (at least, here in Japan!). I thought they’d make a good watch, but I found that there is a huge culture gap, that ends up making them very complex, so I gave up. But that might be an appeal to you, so give it a shot!

I get the feeling that this startup is confusing P(success|people don't get it at first) for P(people didn't get it at first|success).
Sure, but I'm talking about more than that.

For example, my Go microservices run in containers built like this:

FROM scratch
COPY --from=build-container /go/bin/the-binary /go/bin/the-binary

So, the final container only contains my Go binary and nothing else. If I add some debug logging, I just rebuild my binary, rebuild the container, and re-deploy.

However, if I want to debug this, I need to use a different container that includes Go delve (the Go debugger) and any dependencies it relies on, possibly open some extra ports, deploy that container instead of the standard one etc.
Arguably, neither did the automobiles when they first appeared.

Nearly 30 years passed from the introduction of Benz's Motorcar (first automobile) to conveyor-belt assembled Ford's Model T (first mass-produced automobile).

> What % of total profit is Apple capturing?

Have you followed September's Epic vs Apple hearing? Your statement with grocery store vs app store already doesn't work since for example judge stated to Epic lawyers that Fortnite can be distributed on every platform - iOS, Android, Windows/macOS/Linux, Web and consoles.

If you made an app solely for iOS it was your decision and investment. You could just make it for the Web so every person could access it from any platform.

Closed platforms, as stated by judge to Epic lawyers, are legal types of vertical business. You have Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo with same rules.

If Apple made their way with closed platform from the beginning on mature mobile market the question is why you decided to go to that market (and everyone else) in the first place?

The answer is very simple - on Android most of users are pirating apps, so as developer you won't make a lot of money. Also, in 2008 Apple's 30% tax was unprecedented since in other places it was 50-80%.

Now you, as iOS developer want not to pay Apple's tax but have everything they created - user install base which pays money, push notification services, support and everything else. Just don't want to pay for those services in which Apple invested tens of billions through the years.

From security standpoint - just two weeks ago Android well known third part App Store named APKMirror was installing trojans on user's devices. Do we, Apple users, want same experience? No. That's why most of Google employees/engineers in California and other parts of the world use iPhones and Macbooks.
Sounds like those exchanges are going to have devalued bitcoins then. Due to the traceability of bitcoin, I wouldn't be surprised if receiving coin from blacklisted addresses and then not removing it becomes something that gets your wallet blacklisted from mainstream exchanges under money laundering regs.
That makes me wonder if Google has a whitelist of accounts, never to ban unless via manual intervention. Kind of like how Trump was not banned for years from Twitter despite breaking their policies multiple times.

This way, Google can keep the general muck banned but the actual troublemakers or those capacity for such will stay up.
> In terms of housing the unhoused this doesn’t do anything. In terms of aesthetic possibilities for people with money it provides another option where a wide array of options already exist.

Hey, that's me! I want one! I'm here to know if plumbing is included and if the exterior can look better, but I love this style on the inside. Its a mixture of Pierre Cardin's bubble palace and another aesthetic I've seen where the rockface of a mountain makes up the backwall of a contemporary home! I love it!

These endowment funds seems like an excellent idea to evade taxes. And a couple of years ago Harvard endowment fund has totally stopped their financial disclosure.
"... crimp spending on student aid or faculty research, but wealthy individuals can make the same argument: Higher taxes would reduce the amount of money they can invest in tech start-ups or other economically productive ventures."

Clearly this is not the same argument at all. Student aid, and academic research are not the same as funding a startup.

The difference is that colleges, or large grant-making foundations provide, and even exist, for the public good, rather than private profit.

They should perhaps be forced to use more of the wealth for grants, to support poor students, etc, but that's not the same argument as that they should be charged the same taxes as ultra-wealthy idividuals.
> Remember that reason alone is very poor for understanding the world. You will not understand by arguments alone. Your arguments could be brilliant, but you are always modeling the world

This is heresy in geek circles, where people believe they can reason from first principles and background knowledge through entire other fields of study without ever having to discover contradicting facts. But it's very true.

That's what automation is going to accomplish long term. First, wages in e.g. China are no longer as low as they used to be and second you need far less laborers if you automate things. Also you need higher skilled labor, which favors more developed economies.

Producing locally, also minimizes time to market and means you can distribute production. E.g. Arrival is doing that in the UK for assembling buses and vans. They don't build giga factories but instead have small, low cost factories that they can setup close to where the demand is.

Basically producing close to where the demand is, or close to where the resources you need are (or ideally both), minimizes cost.

I'd like to give a Scala community "insider perspective" on Jon Pretty.

Something always felt off about him.

Being quite involved in the Scala community myself, I can tell you that the impact of his technical contributions is basically zero. None of the projects he developed along the years has had any momentum (save for one, called "magnolia", which has a modest userbase).

He was giving more talks than anyone else in the community, solely based on vague ideas he couldn't even make happen. He was always bluffing somehow, presenting himself as some kind of grand architect pursuing grand ideas, while his effective impact was close to zero. He wanted to be perceived as someone influential, but simply didn't have the technical level for it, nor put the effort in.

I think he was tolerated just because he's been around since basically the language was created, and thus was friend with many people, and could tell stories about the early days of Scala.

With him (hopefully) going away, this will have no impact at all on the development of Scala or related projects, apart from saving slots at upcoming Scala conferences.
