STUN is only needed to retrieve the public IP, which you may not need to use (and didn't have to be centralized). In some heavily NATd cases, you'd need a TURN proxy, but not often.

And in fact the solution is more money and training to the police. Police don't get trained, especially in high pressure situations, which creates even more mistakes.

So this is like a virtualized Citrix terminal without the encumbrance and with enough performance not to drag you down? Makes perfect sense for large corporations.

Taking Citrix as example since the specific market served by them has existed for decades. Virtualized personal computing services are a segment of course as well.

In India, 3 major tax departments force you into proprietary software via
1. Gst department makes json data which enables third party devs to prepare stuff but government utilities are in "excel" format only.
2. Income tax department had return utilities in "excel" form and also a "Java" which never worked outside of windows. Now they have made a sleek electron app and guess what, windows only.
3. MCA, companies registrar forces users to upload forms in "adobe PDF" because it has inbuilt forms and validation and such. Absolutely no way to use other than windows.

So the lowest income people who can't afford to buy the more repairable or higher quality items have to keep re-buying at a 66% markup, while those with more money can buy higher quality.

First, Google employees are amongst the best paid in the entire world. There is a point where giving people a raise becomes counter-productive.

Second, this whole "what they deserve" idea is just plain weird to me:

- salaries have strictly nothing to do with "what you deserve": they are a function of supply and demand in the labor market.

- one of the (many) reason Google is making so much money is because they can (because of the business they're in) and *have* automated a huge fraction of their day-to-day operations. So ... if the work is done by robots, what is this "deserve" thing you speak of?
This is a valid question though I am curious about. It’s possible to have an objective discussion.

"America handles it a lot better than any other society."

Grand Juries are a really weird American thing†. The Grand Jury is entirely dependant on the prosecutor for guidance, so as an outsider it appears to me that their real purpose is to enable politically appointed prosecutors to pretend this anonymous "Grand jury" decided not to prosecute somebody when in reality what happened is that the prosecutor didn't want to. So now it's not the prosecutor's fault an obviously guilty person walked free, and yet conveniently they don't need to prosecute anybody they don't want to.

† Americans didn't invent them, but they did keep them after everybody else went "Wait, this is a terrible idea" and abolished the Grand Jury.
Ed Balls Day
I feel like you may be being sarcastic. What are your thoughts?
With that kind of money, you can almost lease nice laptop almost that comes with a browser. I've been looking at options for this recently. 50/month should get you something decent if you commit to that for 2-3 years. That's 1800 over 3 years. E.g. one of the fancy Aple M1 mac book pros would cost about 1300, I believe. The air is cheaper.

The other thing is that browsers need GPUs as well. A lot of stuff is hardware accelerated in Browsers these days. Just a bunch of vcpus does not help that much.

As it is, the target audience seems to be people with too much money and yet with a shitty laptop unable to run a browser properly. I'm sure these people exist but it does not sound like a great market opportunity.

Also, from a security point of view, I don't think that a lot of Fortune 500 companies would ever agree tot this.

However, that oddly might be the path to success for this company as well: play the security angle rather than the performance angle: lots of companies worry about their employees having their laptops and phones stolen. The less data is on these devices; the better. But it will need to be iron clad and more than "We won't look! We promise". That in itself basically just screams "but we could if we wanted to". But if you think about it, a lot of office workers access internal tools almost exclusively through browsers these days anyway and most of that stuff is cloud based anyway. It's just that the terms of use, SLAs, etc. give IT departments enough warm fuzzy feelings that they don't forbid this. Office 365 is a good example. Hosts a lot of very confidential information in a lot of companies. So not a strange thought to narrow the surface between the user and that to just a remotely running browser.

Also there's the convenience angle. A lot of developers are running their development tools remotely. Github is pushing e.g. code spaces. VS code can mount things over ssh. It's becoming normal to do that. So why not do that for other things as well? Streaming games is another good example. I would not be surprised to see Google go there eventually.
Sure, it would have helped homo sapiens even more if more of their children had lived to childbearing ages (if, say, they'd discovered antibiotics a few millenia earlier or evolved more natural immunities). But the infant survival rates back then were enough to ensure the species survived, just like the smaller fraction of the population struck down by skin cancer every year wasn't enough to put evolutionary pressure on us to develop resistance to it or develop sunlight avoidance traits. Evolution doesn't guarantee that every possible beneficial adaptation takes place.

Fascinating life story, but as the other commenter mentioned, there are some serious ethical quandaries with glorifying this character. Especially, in my mind, because he seems to be only concerned with money and not “social justice,” I.e. Robin Hood.

The article mentioned a number of other heist movies but conspicuously left out The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, which is an amazing film that delves into the complexities of why criminals are popular. I really can’t recommend that movie enough.

Otherwise, as a big fan of heist films, I think this is why I always appreciated the Ocean’s series. No one is killed (or even injured) and the heists are conducted through mechanical and social trickery, not violence.
Another underappreciated danger is nationalization or regulation if google et all continue on the trajectory they are on now. As they strive to become more and more essential to participate in modern society, these opaque bans will become more and more devastating. There is a reason there is a justice system in place to create some kind of accountability and appeal process when cutting into the rights of people. If being able to interact with google service approaches being as essential as finding employment, they can't handle limiting access to their services in the way they have been doing forever.

Law breaking is criminal. Laws don't always coincide with morality. Often there's a lot of overlap, but there can easily be laws which are immoral, and that determination is going to be a matter of some subjectivity/interpretation in the first place.
OT: why does that site ask to install Google Widevine DRM?
I think we should rather think of the post WW2 times in the US as anomalous. During the Cold War there was high trust in institutions.

If you learn about 19th century US politics up until the early 20th century things are not so rosy. Just learning about how horrible reconstruction was gives a lot of context. The media environment in the 19th century also resembled more closely the internet today: heavily decentralized with all kids of spurious insanity being promulgated.

Yes things are divisive now, more divisive than when I was a kid, but it’s probably better understood in this context.

The only acronym i've heard for ERP is "Enterprise resource planning" so i'm not sure how that was relevant... and still am not because even searching in Google about what the acronym means all i get is definitions and explanations for "Enterprise resource planning".

> However stripping DRM and converting is not one of them. It's a form of copyright infringement as well, depending on where you are.

It isn't illegal where i am (and FWIW i do not even see it as unethical at all, if anything i consider DRM more unethical) but that is moot since what you originally wrote was "downloading ebooks illegally" which is what i responded about.

How does one effectively police who is a neo Nazi? This thread is about the failures of customer service and anti-abuse techniques at scale, the inevitable false positives and the dire consequences. You seem to be advocating for more of that.

With broadly applied rules, you either have to accept some rule breaking will occur, or accept that you will end up punishing the innocent in efforts to prevent it. Realistically it's both, but there is a give and take between them.

Those inevitably flawed systems are not an ultimate solution to the problems they mitigate. To tackle the problems stemming from bigotry and intolerance, for example, attacking the perpetrators as "bad people" doesn't work, and is a bit self defeating. The goal should be to defeat the harmful ideas underpinning it, through positive proof of better ideas.

Sorry, but that's just not how it works, by now there's plenty of evidence that initial viral load exposure plays a major role in the later disease progression, which is not something unique to SARS-CoV-2.

As such it's very much part of the whole spectrum of outcomes from "Asymptomatic to mild symptoms" to "Ending up on a respirator and dying".

These are basics, and I'm not gonna discuss them with some random stranger who, once again, tries to politicize rather common sense, and established, medical practices.

If you have already some experience as software developer, I think the most effective way is to get a job as junior embedded software engineer and learn directly on the field. I started my career path in embedded SW in this way and I'm convinced that there is nothing better than learn from more experienced colleagues and practice directly on a real project. This is true in every field, but even more in this difficult area where you need to have good knowledge of both hardware and software. When I started I had almost no experience about hardware, but I could learn a lot from more experienced colleagues that were. Of course the learning curve is slow at the beginning, but it will get faster after 1 year.
