>Anyone should be highly sceptical of any huge corporations.

That is completely different than saying calling it a vulture-like industry, or implying something about the entire industry. There are many companies - small and large in this industry. Again, you're simply diluting your own argument by making it absurd and easy to refute. I won't argue with you over specific examples of when companies (in any industry) engage in terrible behavior.

'big corp' exists in every industry. When there is a lot (money/power) at stake, there are perverse incentives to protect their 'golden goose' so to speak. Its our primitive reptilian brain taking control. There are such examples in every industry. But again, that doesn't make the entire industry bad - which was my point.
You are right, I also do not think that it is intentional, but just incidental insustainable. It is still an inherent and central part of its design.

I've given this a (small) bit of thought. With regard to the whales, it occurred to me that if one (or two, or more) of them all decided to sell at the same time and crash the price, the effect would be to disperse all those coins amongst the "non-whales".

And then the question is, well, is the coin more or less valuable when it is held by more people? It seems to me that it would be more valuable, since there would be more people using it.

So even if the immediate effect of the whales cashing out was to lower the price (to something above absolute zero, assuming there will still be buyers), the long-term effect would be more adoption, and increased value.

I'm sure there are holes somewhere in that logic, feel free to point them out.
They do present a dialog but not the same one you get with no or an invalid signature.
As far as I know, municipal broadband, not being federally run, isn't any more subject to federal inspection than any other broadband. I agree that mentioning the "government" vaguely in a poll out it would get the result someone anti-municipal broadband wanted.
Cool, now you just need to convince popular media to include narratives about better road design and use in a way that is subtle enough to avoid pushback but obvious enough to have the intended shaping effect. This sounds both incredibly difficult and incredibly expensive, but you say it's not, and we have no way to test which one of us is right. Agree to disagree. :)
I'm reminded of checks. They use (used? not sure if it's still a thing) MICR, or Magnetic Ink Character Recognition for the code at the bottom of the check.

Back in the days before any bespoke product was a search away, tracking done printer ink and toner to print checks for a small business was a surprising chore. Heck, just finding the fonts was itself a bit hard.
"How drugs messed up my brain and made me see god"

Man this drug normalization needs to stop. Drugs can permanently fuck you up. It's just not worth it.
The hypergrowth, VC-funded startup model virtually depends on founders and executives investing 100% of their time and energy into the company. With most startups trying to capture new markets, if you don't give 100% then your competitors will.

Obviously any job that requires 80-hour works isn't going to be compatible with spending a lot of time with your kids. Like you said, there are plenty of other businesses and business models that don't have such onerous demands. They may not become the next unicorn and VC darling, but they leave room for a more normal life outside of work.
Yahoo negotiates in Bizarro land rules.
Kids' effect on work life is an important topic.

I think it's possible that male, man, men can be substituted for female, woman, women in this article and have it be just as true except for this:

> But what people without kids may not realize is the extent to which people with kids want their time to be consumed by them. And, on the whole, I’d guess women more so than men.

I have no data on that.
There is a common fear (and I have to admit I irrationally feel this fear) that your ranking will be impacted negatively by not using Google Analytics. Maybe not intentionally, but perhaps because Google knows less about your site.

As a counter example, my wife started a company when she was pregnant with our second child, and then raised millions of dollars in her first round when the child was a few months old. The company is still going strong and she is prepping to raise another round. And our child is a beautiful, happy toddler now.
They don’t kick out competitors though, merely open up their own stores. To me (the consumer), that seems fine.

Honestly if you've been running a startup for 6 years and it falls apart if you aren't directly involved, you haven't built a very stable company. Much like if your six year old can't cope alone in their room without you for a time, you've likely not raised a very stable child. If either requires constant attention, you haven't put the right systems and controls in place.
Being strict about the term, none. But "monopoly" has become a colloquialism for "big company (that I don't like)".

Amazon has certainly generated enough bad faith and operates at a large enough scale to galvanize the anti-trust advocates

Why not gsuite? It has everything you need... you can use trello free tier for tasks too. Slack free tier will be enough as well.

If you want happy employees, stay far, far away from microsoft products. NO ONE likes teams.
They are popular, efficient, and usually affordable - if not cheaper than many competing outlets, but I do not see them as a monopoly by definition.

Amazon has made it more convenient to use their services than their competition in many ways, but to my understanding, there are alternatives for just about everything they offer.

OK, but can we trust them to completely put out of their mind the interests of the people signing their paychecks? Do the people signing the paychecks blindly hire scientists without considering whether the scientists will be mindful of their interests?

I'd love to import the word 'gitch' into German (like the word 'cringe' has been incorporated into youth slang), but it doesn't work because there already exists 'glitsch(ig)' - a close but yet very different word.

I especially like the phrase "someone is glitching out". I think this originated in scifi (think a bot), but you can use it to describe mental problems or just wierd behavior. It's impossible to use in German: "Jemand glitsht" - wait, why are they slippery?

It doesn't really do that though. Its like tracing servers back to North Korea or Russia. It certainly allows someone at a glance to think they know what they are doing, as if 3 letter agencies are incapable of making something look incriminating.

I use a Light Phone II which has a black-and-white e-ink display and no ability to display images or install applications beyond tools that they develop in-house. It's been great.

I think mail order and brick&mortar compete in some product segments, but are separate in others. For example, perhaps split off much of grocery and bulky cheap items as well as legally constrained products from WalMart's total (although Amazon is making inroads there).
I remember switching to Chrome just because of the minimalist UI.
I don't know if Chrome was faster at that time, but it felt faster and leaner than anything else. I switched back to Firefox when I realized that there were everal extensions I didn't want to part with. And then back to Chrome again after a few years when Firefox upgraded their UI to make everything bigger and bulbous.

That was the most surprising part of this for me. Edgecast/VDMS would make more sense elsewhere than Apollo, like at .. Verizon, or Google.
that's incredible. how can a guy with such a high-level, public-facing position be so bad at interviews? I can understand why a public health official might be inclined to exaggerate, simplify, and/or mislead to get the general public to follow the program. I don't approve, but I understand why people might think that's justified. what I don't understand is how you can do all that and not have the common sense to refrain from admitting to it in plain english. isn't that public office 101?

The primary (?) author of this site (Andrej Bauer) is a professor at the University of Ljubljana. I'm currently in his Principles of Programming Languages course and I have to say, it is the one and only "theoretical" CS subject that I've really enjoyed!

Old recordings of his other classes are also the only thing that helped me actually understand proofs of program correctness last semester. Seriously, I went through all our lectures and basic materials twice and still didn't get it. Then someone sent me one of his recordings and in 30 minutes, it all just clicked for me. Ended up getting 100% on that part of the exam, where before I wasn't sure I'd even pass.

> video games

I'm curious why switching from scrolling Instagram/communicating with friends on WhatsApp should be "frowned upon" (this is what comes to my mind personally when I hear the words "phone addiction) if the alternative is to trade it with something even more hyper-stimulating, like a video game.

If the post this week is "how can I be less addicted to my phone", and you replace your phone with video games, won't the post next week just be "how can I be less addicted to video games"?
My time to shine! I spent 2 - 3 years going back and forth between dumb phones and smartphones with various different measures for the same reasons. Here is my video with my final summations on the topic and how some techniques I’ve found may help you (iOS specific): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-TKgRxdA5o

Feel free to follow me on Twitter too and chat about any questions you have. I’ve been playing around with these sorts of ideas for years and find it really fascinating / interesting. I can also recommend some fantastic books.
> anything you'd like to see in the extension that'd convince you to pay for it?

Different pricing scheme, at least in the beginning. While $39 (or even $59) is acceptable as one time payment, I am not sure if I am willing to pay this for a product that's been on the market for only 3 weeks and whose future is unknown. Charging something like $1-$2 per month will earn you more in the long term and will provide a safer option for the customers (they won't loose too much if you disappear in a couple of months).

BTW, at the organization where I work, we can only make payments to established entities, i.e. someone who has address, account number and can issue an invoice. I guess Gumroad, as a middle party, can provide all of these, still it would add to your credibility if you had an "About" page with the necessary data. Oh and a Privacy Policy would be nice too - some organizations won't allow installing any extensions that are not reviewed by a security team and such reviews often involve checking privacy policies.

Because an angle grinder/die grinder works equally well on a very expensive pick resistant lock as it does on a cheapo master lock. Even cheap master locks have reasonably sturdy shackles. The only exception to that, I guess, is truly cheap stuff that bolt cutters work just fine.

Why bother? There's no skill to angle grinding off a lock shackle, literally anyone can do it.
> How it is possible we'll _never_ reach herd immunity?

If people refuse to take the vaccine, then obviously the US will never reach it. It's not inconsistent to say that the US _must_ reach it, yet will not.
What was inflation and central rates at that time? Is the real return similar?
There's a natural workflow that tends to get ignored in these discussions: when you're not sure of all the details of the pipeline yet and your file is big enough to slow you down.

I typically start with (say) `head file | grep '2020'`. Once it does what I want I move to the next step, and so on until it's done. At that point, and having chained 5-6 commands, replacing `head` with `cat` is faster and less likely to break due to me putting the '<' in the wrong place. The simplicity and extra peace of mind is well worth an extra process IMHO.
I started to avoid reflection probably 10 years ago.

I'm not a big fan of many of the C# code generators either. A bug I have seen many times is that a generated client deserializes some fields that are not used by the consumer and therefor not tested. Skip forward 6 months and the thing burns up in production once some unexpected values shows up.
Well, if i called my coworker 'girl' in a conversation with her then it would be patronizing and belittling.
But when i use 'girl' to refer to a female coworker in an internet discussion, without identifying any person, then how this can be patronizing and to whom?

Maybe we should stop using the word 'girlfriend' and say 'womanfriend' instead?

And btw what about 'girls in tech' organization? Is it patronizing?

I used it in 2006-7 while at grad school. The tab-completion was indeed awesome, it's just so intuitive. Find the key that's close to what you want, then hit tab until it gets what you want. I ended up using LyX because it was a bit faster and better supported, but I wish they would learn from this interface.
We can do that, but it will just happen in your mind.
Tech has been too premature to achieve "fluorescent purple" while simultaneously achieving mission objectives. Besides, the hoarding all got burned last decade and the agencies have clearly evolved.
