What’s your setup for that? How do you sync (incoming) photos to an arbitrary place outside of the Photos library?

The rules explicitly allow particular kinds of deals and not others:

Unimproved properties, railroads and
utilities (but not buildings) may be sold to any player as a private
transaction for any amount the owner can get; however, no property
can be sold to another player if buildings are standing on any
properties of that color-group.
I'm speaking to the author of the comment I replied to who basically states that the article was purely good because of the topic, without having any critical eye towards it. And the un-orderliness is in the title of the article commented on, nyt has dark patterns on their site as well.

The author of the NYT piece is a member of the editorial board so he should be held to a higher standard than employees of a business that protest its practices, while probably having no power over setting them. A member of the editorial board is certainly in a more powerful position, relatively speaking, to make changes in their newspaper and surely he could have talked about the example set by the business he works for. If Google came out with PR that pointed at Apple tracking users of its phones, something that is factually true, they would be rightfully laughed at because they are the last ones that can complain that someone tracks people.

The problem is not the spying. Everyone's doing it. Privacy is an illusion. Encryption is meaningless to the state.

The problem is how the information is utilized and whether the staff and bureaucracy are professionals or pro-liars.

Professionals have integrity, operate in a facts- and data-based manner, possess a moral code guided by people's benefit, are fully accountable for their actions to an internally transparent independent oversight mechanism with legal repercussions.

Pro-liars are fabricators, blackmailers and betrayers, with zero integrity, adopting sloppy collection techniques, coercing cooperation, reacting on opinions that confirm their biases, abusers of the power they have, and of their targets, working in a constantly shifting amoral environment, guided by power and revenge, without oversight or accountability, and inoculate themselves to legal repercussions by hiding within secrecy protections.

All this official "shock and horror" comes across as crocodile tears, and would be better channeled into internally reforming the bloated security/intelligence bureaucracy (globally, not specific to any one region) that, although peppered with pockets of professionals, is also poisoned by the snake-tongued cancer of pro-liars.

“ the WMF is launching a for-profit company named Wikimedia, LLC. This will sell API services to big tech companies, making it easier for them to process Wikimedia content, which powers voice assistants like Apple’s Siri and Amazon’s Alexa as well as Google’s infoboxes.”

“ The WMF emphasizes time and again that Wikipedia never tries to sell the public anything.”

Those can’t both be true. Selling to google is just indirectly selling to the general public.
Is that correct?

To my knowledge most people campaigning for Right to Repair don’t want change the designs of the things we currently buy.

They just want to stop companies banning their suppliers from selling spares to consumers.

That is, most things are already reparable enough but certain firms are going out of their way to stop that happening.
Going the same way as many other non-profits (like colleges and universities), which pursue for-profit incentives while building bloat. After all, what could go wrong with spending $50 million to build out marketing that can increase revenue by $55 million?

>The value of fiat currency comes purely from the wealth that it represents, with a stability guarantee provided by things like tax revenues being denominated in that currency.

This is wrong or at least woefully incomplete. The value of a fiat (or any) currency comes from its utility as (1) a medium of exchange (2) a store of value and (3) a unit of account. If few people use a currency for buying or selling real (and legal) goods or services then it is a ineffective medium of exchange. If a currency is not legal tender (to your point) it may also be ineffective as a medium of exchange. Try paying your taxes with Bitcoin. Won't work. Bitcoin is not a stable store of value. (so 2 is not satisfied). You can not reliably store a certain fixed amount of purchasing power in your Bitcoin savings (Hodlings) for future use at an arbitrary future time. (3) Bitcoin is not a unit of account in any general sense. Goods and services are not priced in Bitcoin units.

Thus Bitcoin fails the three prong test of whether an instrument may be considered a currency. If Bitcoin is not a currency, which it manifestly is not why don't we stop calling it one?

Ok so it is an asset then? Right? Not really. An asset is something of tangible use and durable value something that can be subject to property rights. What is the use of Bitcoin? Can you live on the block chain? Can you sue other people if they steal your Bitcoin (e.g. is Bitcoin intellectual property?). No actually the only value in Bitcoin is that maybe you can find somebody who will pay a higher price (in dollars) than what you paid. Thus if Bitcoin claims to be an asset it is a fraudulent asset. Fundamental since Bitcoin has no physical underlying asset it is just a number. Nobody can own numbers. Nothing prevents anybody from duplicating a number. In fact this has happened multiple times when the blockchain forks. See Bitcoin Cash, etc.
As Werner Vogels says “everything fails all the time.” How long can Amazon Retail/AWS, Google/GCP/YouTube, or Microsoft survive without continuously replacing hardware? How much degradation of their service can they withstand as they are unable to replace hardware?

If hard drives fail at YouTube and they can’t replace them and keep up with demand, does YouTube start deleting old videos to make room for new ones? Does AWS stop promising 6 way redundancy across three data centers? When a server goes south in us-east-1 and they don’t have a replacement, then what?
I'm not the GP but what I do is all my camera devices will sync to a cloud drive, and my NAS then syncs the cloud drive. Google Photos seems to be able to see them. That way I always have two copies of the image, a cloud version and a local.

The main failure mode I'm concerned about is if Google decides I'm no longer worthy of an account. In that case I'll still have my pics and I'll put in the effort to set up some other service.
I disagree with Steam being wrong. It's kinda special situation where product also includes distribution on their store. So I consider justified of them having same pricing.

Now, I'm not saying that this should be apply to copies distributed via other channels. Just to those redeemable on Steam.
More thoughtful commenters (e.g. Taleb) actually noticed early that ISIS and wahhabism in general is a deeply rooted and quite old political movement, not all-of-a-sudden religious cult and madness.

Partly because of this conflation the whole narrative (heavily sponsored by oil money of course) have kept blind Western elites for very long time, especially in Europe, where they only start to understand that worship places with heavy foreign aid inflow are not necessarily harmless community centers, and "religious liberties" must have strict bounds to be classified as so.

Right. But you need money to pay for infrastructure and employees.

"not motivated by money" sounds very much like "we'll be shutting down in 2 years"
God damn, you're dumb!
What's interesting is that we will get ads for things that sound the same as something we talked about, which further suggests the mic is on. Like a company with the same pronunciation as a different word altogether, and that being the only connection between us and the company -- we mention the other word, verbally, and the company's ads starting showing up that same day.

Let's be clear about this, the donation money isn't just used to keep the encyclopedia online. They have hundreds of language versions of Wikipedia itself, and many related "sister" projects, with perhaps the most clearly impacting being Wikimedia Commons (a huge repository of free-content media with a focus on educational use - including much media in the public domain) and Wikidata (a project that has now emerged as the closest thing to a 'hub' in the still-developing Semantic Web ecosystem). Quite a bit of their funding also enables growth in least-developed countries, where access to high-quality educational content in local languages is going to be especially impactful wrt. broader development goals.

People like to focus on the excess growth of management roles within the foundation and call it "cancer", but all large organizations have some possible waste within them. It might just be one of the many costs of doing business and pursuing what are in reality some very ambitious and perhaps worthwhile goals. And building a long-term endowment only looks like the prudent thing to do, since the results of fundraising can be quite volatile and uncertain.

well according to the Netflix "Rotten" episode about avocados, violent criminals will kidnap and murder for anything of value in Mexico. Therefore I'm not so sure the legality/regulation of the market has anything to do with it. If anything, the issue is the proximity of a poor country to a rich country.
I read the narrative a bit differently than you: in the face of misinformation from an international health organization and friends, private society prevailed in figuring out WTF was actually going on, eventually, and WHO critics were able to get their message out.

This is also one of the reasons I have argued vigorously against over-regulating tech companies and their moderation practices: they deserve the chance to shoot themselves in the foot with gusto, and lose or win credibility with their user base dependent upon how they react to societal changes. It is a slow painful process, but society is developing antibodies to their practices and there are no shortcuts, no regulatory equivalent of an mRNA vaccine that won’t just turn a privileged few into quasi-public entities. If we can avoid doing that, social networks will likely go through a cycle of fragmentation over time that will counteract any kind of centralized planning or coordination between a few big giants.

So what do we do about the WHO? You’re asking the wrong question there. Do what you did to protect yourself and your loved ones this time and recognize, as was obvious since at least February 2020, that the WHO isn’t to be taken as the source of truth on anything. It’s an offshoot of a diplomatic forum and acts like it because that is its nature. Even if the rank and file are doing good work, the officers are from countries that don’t trust each other, and have interests other than what their official role is. That doesn’t render it completely useless, but it isn’t completely useful either. You can’t control what allegiances other people have, only account for them.

A minimum net hourly pay would solve this. The floor shouldn’t be $0 but the minimum wage plus the driver’s costs.

StackOverflow seems to handle the fine line well, Reddit as well. They both provide volunteer-heavy knowledge sharing while not appealing to charitable emotions that are disingenuous (if wiki is dying, fine: say it, but if it's not then their only way of growing budget is to pretend it is - it's the sign of an issue for me)

Communist revolutions are just anger and frustration making heads roll all around for a big reset, but the phoenix rising in the ashes of the revolution surprisingly often has the same face as it had before. I live in China, my friends always tell me "we've always had an emperor in Beijing, this is the same thing with another name, why make such a fuss about it", proving that not only did the revolution change nothing for them, but worst: they don't even see there was some sort of point to it. So a communist revolution will change nothing to Wikipedia's governance.

I don't think Wikipedia can be state-sponsored, or even UN-sponsored: it doesn't matter enough. But a corporate entity with a product vision and a clear statement of profit would reduce the tearful aspect of their marketing campaign, appeal to its utility rather than our sobbing hearts and maybe shed a bit (a lot?) of the volunteering to welcome people like me who edit wiki for stuff they need rather than to "offer the world a knowledge sharing platform" in itself ?

> This is a situation Amazon has engineered

I agree but I disagree with you as to why. I see two distinct issues.

1. Amazon marketplace reliability/integrity.

2. Customer support escalation process.

_________________________

1. I think Amazon does an abhorrent job, it's the wild west with regards to quality, fraud. & counterfeits. I personally don't trust it.

2. Unfortunately almost everywhere cuts costs and uses automation & frontline works but I think Amazon has a significantly above average process for a large company. The jeff@amazon.com is a very publicized escalation option/safety valve, which worked in this case & I am not aware of for other large brands. It's unfortunate they had a bad call the first time, but that happens. If this sort of thing happened with another retailer (although it's less likely to), I doubt they would have handled it until they went to twitter or was generating press with the story.

How is that possible to enforce?

If a company comes up with a design that is more serviceable than its competitors, are all the competitors now forbidden from selling their old design?

Love this article and agree completely. I always go for the functional, reliable and sturdy industrial versions if possible. I also like the design and engineering that go into these products instead of the typical polished plastic consumer junk.

Lots of comments are talking about the extremes but most reasonable people can figure it out. Obviously don't use an industrial appliance that operates at 90db, requires high voltage electrical, and needs 2 hours of daily maintenance to make your coffee; but that liferaft bag is brilliant.

>nearly all of Wikipedia is written by just 1 percent of its editors

Does it matter much? I assume it is considered bad because these "power editors" may have their agenda or whatever to control the way Wikipedia is written. From my experience as a frequent editor (on other language version of Wikipedia), this rarely happens. Power users edit a lot simply because it's their hobby. Or in other words, it happens because most of people just don't do any edits.

Not to mention, this kind of data is misleading. The influence of each edit is very hard to compare. I surely won't measure it by just editing times or word count. A simple edit that corrected a number on an article can be just as useful and important.

Also IMHO, the biggest strength of Wikipedia is not its quality, but its completeness. It's the fact you can have a central place to glance at the basic info about any subject. It shines in these stub articles about random animal, random town in Africa, random mid-size company. Even if all the "hot" articles become garbage or overly political, it doesn't affect the 99% value of Wikipedia.
I've donated to Wikipedia and contributed content as well but now I've decided not to anymore for the time being. Any kind of controversial article is decided more by the amount of time which side has to push their agenda rather than any kind of objective Neutral Point of View. There is a lot of astroturfing as well.
