The "regional carrier" policy should change.

The 737 has the dirty little secret that it's a little bit too big for domestic flights, but it stays entrenched because the carriers have "scope rules" that forbid aircraft in a size range between smaller regional jets (50 or so seats) and full size jets (100 or so seats).

Planes like the A220 and E195 are smaller on the outside but feel bigger on the inside than the 737 and would be more economical. Range is not so good, but Southwest would have no problem serving CONUS with either plane.

Regional airlines seem like a scam to avoid regulation, consumer scrutiny, etc. If you live in a town too small to be served by the 737 they stick you on a 25-year old regional jet that has the parent company logo on it, the crew is wearing parent company uniforms, but when you get punched in the face by one of them you find they aren't a "United" employee.

It damages their brand.
> I think Apple's point is they think users are too dumb to handle that and they don't want user ignorance to reflect poorly on them or their product experience.

And I sympathize with this argument, which is why I propose calling the outside-the-garden toggle “Developer Mode.” Apple already has “Pro” phones and headphones. This is just an extension of that.

So when the user toggles the Developer mode they get a dialog box that says we can’t do refunds or offer support until you turn this off, which will delete any 3P apps.
Every spare dollar I get goes to investments. But I am atypical in that regard.
Historically, Firefox has been the only moneymaker for Mozilla. It is possible they didn't want to make it easy to embed so anyone can create second FF on top of their work and compete without paying dues. Electron and single applications built fully on top of browser engine alone is relatively new, and possibily out of Mozilla's field of vision back then.

But, that is speculation, and I have no proof whatsoever other than tangential conclusions from Mozilla's blunders in recent years.
Without robust* competition, how can you put a value on the services they provide? They wrote an entire, very successful, platform, upon which someone's business depends. They employ an army of engineers that are probably more highly skilled than the average app developer to keep this going. They've even done the hard work of attracting almost all the consumers who spend money freely to their platform.

Auction houses such as Christie's take up to 25% for a similar service (connecting sellers with affluent buyers), although one that's probably far easier to replicate.

*robust meaning low switching costs, but it's hard to imagine how one could have low switching costs on smart phone platforms

The next part of Article 37, also quoted in the article, contrasts (which is forbidden) perfidy with permissible ruses of war.

It’s a very blurry line, but actual combat seems to be one major distinction. Disguising a battleship as an enemy or merchant vessel seems to be okay...as long as the disguise is dropped before engaging. However, marking it as a hospital ship seems right out regardless of the situation because the hospital emblem is specially protected because those ships are never supposed to be attacked.

I purchased a standing desk (Uplift ~60in * 30in) and couldn't be happier with the purchase.
Main benefits is that I can actually adjust the height of my table to be actually ergonomic. My chair + table + monitors are all set right. I stand around 2-3 hours a day and that helps a lot.

This was an expensive purchase for me (Esp for a table) but well well worth the price.

extremely happy with it.

Which means... ? Performance degradation? Gates being destroyed long term? Slight decrease at first but then stable performance for years?
My first thought is flexibility and interoperability. If you have one tool, cross platform, that supports a wide variety of protocols, you can use it on both ends of a connection, and easily swap out protocols without having to:
1) install a new tool on both sides
2) learn a new API for each protocol
3) bug check for it

It also let's you do all this dynamically, so switching protocols on the fly is trivial.

> Can I write programs for my smartphone using my smartphone?

Yes; at least if its Android you can develop, package, and deploy apps to your device from the same device (for ergonomic/UX reasons this works better with external keyboard and display, or a tablet, than a bare smartphone) as well as editing code and running it in any one of many available interpreter apps.

Thanks for the explanation. I had the wrong idea that it could be due to, for example, if A->B belonged to a different provider than B->C, providers not reaching an agreement on what % to take each, for the journey from A->C - hence increasing the overall cost for covering demands from both.

You're missing the point of the article. If you're Scottish, it's probably hard to not use local flavor when talking, and thus it's hard for an international audience to understand. Even if you know the audience is international. It's just the way you talk.

If you're from Portugal, and you speak English, you're mostly not using some local flavor Portuguese words or expressions or jokes because they wouldn't make sense in English. So you speak simply and you're easy to understand.
You can mitigate the tradeoffs to some degree but there are always going to be tradeoffs between security and convenience (and sometimes functionality as in your case).
Not being correct is stigmatized in all aspects of society anymore, thanks to ever increasing business leadership mentality invading our culture. Being wrong, failing, etc. is no longer acceptable. You have to provide the appearance of success in the absence of success.

I don't know why we as a culture can't accept that people fail and fail often. A bit more humility would do everyone some good instead of setting constant unrealistic expectations that hampers all aspects of society. It's completely bananas.

I disagree. And I’m thinking of California in particular here. There is FAR too much reliance on personal transportation. It has little capacity to support “just increasing density”. There’s nothing natural about it. It will take a very serious planning effort to transform the state.
As far as I've seen, Japan is the only country that can make a complex rail system work with private actors. There are many factors for this, including:

1. Japanese rail operators are in most cases multi-industry conglomerates that own land, surrounding infrastructure, hotels, retail, and more.

2. The national investment in rail in Japan is much greater than that in the UK.

3. Modern post-war Japan was literally built around the rail network, and this was not accidental nor a matter of happenstance. Rail access is ubiquitous across urban and suburban areas (not just in Tokyo,) and even rural rail services are in a different category than those in the UK.

It is a good library API with good support for async and that sort of thing. As a user it is less work to integrate the Nth protocol in a library I understand than to read the docs and try to reverse engineer some new API model of how to do things including asynchronous and configurations and TLS/cert management etc. there are a thousand ways to skin the cat, and libcurl is a good one. I want to learn a bunch of new distributed protocols because those are real things; I don’t want to learn a bunch of different APIs to do the same things because those are arbitrary wrappings to the real thing. If an API is successful enough it would be real, but cleverness in API design isn’t that useful without the popularity.

I was going to follow up with a similar quip, but I think we're falling into old crypto-nationalistic stereotypes and maybe we should all try to be better, so...

"Personally, I'd give that title to middlemanagers who were promoted beyond their abilities."
I agree, it drives me nuts when I see bad hot takes on the English language by Anglophones. Articles in English about English are more often than not egocentric and short sighted.

I heard an Englishman quip that English is the only language where you can tell a person's class by their accent. Or a lot of people think English is the hardest language to learn because of its irregularities or terrible spelling rules. Or that our slang is somehow exceptional. Most of these people don't have enough experience in other languages to have any idea how they compare to English.

You never had malware problems that you know of.
Yeah, it gives the language ambiguity and nuance. It's pretty flipping valuable for the day to day poetry of the language. I personally derive a lot of humour from the ambiguity of the language.

I do recall a colleague of mine who was trying to learn English. He said I was one of the more difficult english speakers he'd ever met. It was fun to try to reel that in to be more clear. Eventually I just directed him to the urban dictionary.
Well, consider that Xanadu itself dates back to like the 1960's or something... I don't remember all the details off-hand. That said, I thought the Udanax stuff came later than 1999 as well. I wouldn't even have noticed the 1999 reference if you hadn't pointed it out just now!

TikTok is popular for the same reason why Facebook was super popular back in the day; constantly checking for new short videos is akin to constantly checking for new status updates, new photo uploads and new DMs but now all that Facebook activity dissolved into various platforms such as Snapchat, Instagram and TikTok. On top of that it is easier for content creators to create short videos than for example 20 min long YouTube videos meaning barrier to entry is much lower.

Also teens and young people in general say that their parents and grandparents moved to Facebook because of which they do not feel comfortable doing all the shenanigans on the Facebook anymore.

Zuckerberg was genius and cursed at the same time because he created social network for everything or in another words for general content(text, photos, videos etc.) but he didn't specialize in any until recently when he and his team started paying attention to each and every of this content category.

>>> Money exists for one purpose: to cancel debt.

This could be tautological, if "debt" is defined as fulfilling any agreed upon transaction. Money is a technology. A money system can serve multiple purposes: Such as a medium of exchange, a temporary store of value, and an instrument of government economic policy. (For example). I suspect that the majority of us, who are clueless about the actual mechanics of it, use the US money system for those purposes.

Money that does not serve those purposes, could have different uses. And like a technology, a money system "works" to the extent that it is useful to the people who want to use it. Even within the world of fiat government money, people in many countries will use their local currency as a medium of exchange, but store their wealth in assets that are valued in the currency of another country such as the US or Europe.

In my view a feature of Bitcoin is that it explores the possible uses of a money system that is not expressly designed to serve any specific purpose. It's like a microprocessor: A collection of hardware and software facilities that takes on the purpose that you assign when you choose how to use it.

Alluded to by the article, and not outside the bounds of possibility, is that a government could manipulate Bitcoin, making it into a tool of economic policy. But I imagine it would be a weak tool.
I would recommend using it a bit more. The algorithm is generally pretty good, it just takes some time to learn your interests.

The reason they don't have all those filtering options is probably because most people don't want to use them and it's fun to see video content from all around the world and even in different languages. Serendipity on TikTok is part of the appeal.

Although it wasn't the case for you, I'd say TikTok probably has the best cold-start experience of any consumer content app. For comparison, try creating a new account on YouTube or IG.

Still get that TikTok may not be for everyone, but imo it feels like the end game design of short video content consumption. The content can be really fun, silly, pointless, mundane, or educational. You don't need to follow people. Celebs are not as relevant. Don't like something? Just swipe up. It's a pretty refreshing take.

He said that political will could fix problems where there is no economic forcing function to do so. For people who subscribe to an extreme Ayn Rand view of the world, that’s a heretical statement. Markets are believed to be a magic bullet that solves every conceivable problem and coordinated effort not done in search of profit is always bad.

Every utopian dream contains a totalitarian nightmare in it, unfettered capitalism is no exception. The truth is that different problems require different solutions, markets are good for some things but not others.
This seems like a stretch. I'd love to see the statistics on this. Anyone know of any datasets of infections by operating system and severity?

It seems incorrect that iOS would be a higher value target for malware. Getting at valuable data would be much harder. Getting at backups would be harder. Encrypting the service for ransom would be harder. Disguising your apps illicit activities would be harder. And businesses are much less likely to store the payroll data (or whatever sensitive info) in their iOS device.

Only things I can think of would be iMessages, and location data, but your likely able to get iMessages of of someone's Mac...

Am I missing something here?
I work with teams across the globe and I can say this has been true in my experience. The experience of communicating with others for whom English is not only a second language, but a lingua franca used to communicate across other language boundaries, is distinctly not one where I am the advantaged communicator, because I am the less versed speaker of the lingua franca version of the dialect. (Imagine switching from a BSD to Ubuntu with no Linux experience. Lots rhymes and sounds the same, but might trip up an experienced user who has built up years of expectations.)

My wife has been showing me Twogether, a show about two celebrities from different countries whose only common language is English, and who are made to travel and perform tasks together in countries whose languages they don't speak.

It's fascinating to hear the version of English they speak to each other. It's not US or UK English, it's a combination of English, Korean, Chinese, intonation, facial expression, and gesture to communicate what they need in a given moment. It was odd for me to that they were actually able to use English to communicate with each other better than I, a native English speaker, could use to communicate with either of them. Built up context and the tendency of language to take the shape of its container resulted in a patois better suited to their purposes than the language I use every day, and in a business context, pretending this doesn't happen is a recipe for failure, I believe.

Most who use and contribute to Open Source have no choice with regard to license. That choice has already been made by "the community". And once made, these licenses often require the developer to assign copyright for their contribution to "the community". These "viral" licenses can also infect any subsequent project that tries to makes use of any code.

The intent and effect here is pretty clear --- individual property rights are being re-assigned to "the community".

If that were actually an important factor then no-one would do development on OSX, because servers don't run OSX, and the debugging, tools etc. are all a bit different on server *nix from what they are on OSX. And yet we see many developers who'd rather use a Macbook. So while there may be some premium to being able to "develop at home", clearly many developers value other considerations more highly.

I admit I'm quite baffled by your recommendation.

Is there an example where this system is employed for the purpose of college admissions?

> each sortation relies on personal accountability between the different teachers and administrations

How would such a system actually work? As an illustrative example, the year I graduated High School I was one among about ~ 300K graduating students in my province. There were only ~ 35K college seats across all undergraduate courses (including Women's Colleges, Evening Colleges, etc) in my province up for grabs. If I was interested in medicine, there were ~ 400 seats, of which ~ 150 are female only. How would 'personal accountability' between teachers & administrations work in this scenario? I still fail to grasp how you suggest one kid should go to college vs another. School grades? I had the highest grades in the science exam nationwide, but so did 10 other kids just in my school. All of us could have gotten glowing letters of recommendation from our teachers, and I think that's a terribly subjective way to evaluate large numbers of people.

If your football league analogy is meant to suggest that students should move into and between colleges based on performance, that still doesn't resolve how one gets into a college in the first place without an exam. Even with continual evaluation at the school level, you're still left with many more eligible students (100X) than you have capacity for.
