Knowing what I know about Steve Jobs, I have to wonder whether the whole thing was a bait to get you (and everyone else he mentioned it to) into proving the concept before they signed a contract. What do you think? You reckon he was baiting you or it was an honest mistake?

I think the more apt analogy is an obese person and calories-in, calories-out.

It doesn't take just reducing calories input to daily needs (zero net carbon emmisions), they will stay obese and still at the risk of heart attack. They need to go below recommended calories to go into negative cal balance in order to loose weight.

Zero net emmisions is a good start but its not enough as all it means is that we are maintaining status-quo ie warming up.

Except, if you get a big win, you can't offset that win against gains, and in fact have to pay tax on that win. Also, a big discount is only a big discount if it differs from the norm: infact anyone is allowed to offset their losses.

Yes, maybe only billionaires have the capital to make this bet less volatile, but such is as with all things: It's generally easier to turn larger amounts of money into more money as high-capital-requirement opportunities become available to you (not just relating to this), they have still have to have large amounts of capital, and put it at risk i.e more to lose.
As others have pointed out, your cash in the bank is actual money in a sense that (say) Musk or Bezos' wealth isn't - you can actually buy things with it, whereas if they want to sell their shares to buy something else they need to find someone with enough actual money who's willing to trade it for shares which may or may not be worth something down the line.

The really big problem is that regardless of where the money comes from on paper, in an important sense all the big government spending has to be paid for out of that actual money in the form of people's income. Suppose the government carries out a big series of infrastructure projects, or even say AOC's plan for mass upgrading of home insulation. That will use a huge amount of scarce resources like raw materials, workers' time, equipment etc which then cannot be used for other things. Which means that whatever would've otherwise been made with those resources no longer exists to be consumed, and that everyone overall is worse off in terms of stuff they can buy with their income by the amount required to offset this cost. This real tax on the actual real value of everyone's income cannot come out of Bezos and Musk and the other multi-billionaires' wealth, because the amount of stuff they consume is tiny compared to their paper wealth. It has to come from ordinary people. (A similar argument applies to the cost of shuttering all those businesses and paying their workers to sit around doing nothing during the pandemic.)

Now of course, a lot of big companies do themselves use a bunch of resources, but take those away and you lose whatever the company is supplying. No Amazon warehouses? Suddenly a lot less stuff is available to be ordered online. No Tesla factories? Say bye-bye to clean electric cars and hello to more pollution and CO2. Etc, etc.
I want to offer Vivaldi some praise, I switched to it as my main browser a few years ago, and it's been great. I had to look for a new browser when Firefox (that I had used since the Firebird days) kept breaking my settings and plugins with their updates. After yet another Firefox update I wasn't able to restore the browser to how I want it to be, so I tried Vivaldi.

I'm not even a big fan of the original Opera, but love Vivaldi's features such as easy screen splitting between two tabs and one-click actions to disable images or apply certain filters to a page. Picture-in-picture and pop-outs for media are also great, periodic tab reload is occasionally very useful.

Ideally I'd like to use a fully FOSS browser, but my patience with Firefox ran out, and Vivaldi is Chromium + custom open-source parts + closed-source UI layer. Good enough for me, though not ideal.
FYI there was a known recent issue for Chrome/ium with uBlock Origin and TamperMonkey:

https://twitter.com/gorhill/status/1401243256755785729

Firefox with uBlock Origin still works wonderfully.

Schools closed after hackers steal data
Once I was at /r/androidapps and someone made a new app, asked for feedback, and «experienced devs» told OP something like «instead of „fetching data“ you should be using „getting everything ready“ because it might scare users to think that app is collecting their data».

Are people really that dumb? I'm afraid to use apps made by those people.
What percentage of the population do you need to vaccinate against Covid to reach herd immunity? People who are fully vaccinated are testing positive for infection and presumably can transmit the disease (although at a much reduced rate).

And it looks like ~10% of SF is under 12, so unvaccinated plus another 20% of those over 12, so maybe 20-25% of all people are unvaccinated. Is that still herd immunity?

I loved tabs in Galeon, it's the only browser I remembering having it at the time, but I probably didn't try Opera. I was sad when Galeon went away (or removed tabs? I don't recall) and I couldn't find another browser with tab support for a while. Again, I may have overlooked Opera :)
Rewriting git history with git filter-branch and git rebase -I
(Disclaimer: This is a blog post I wrote myself.)

Many of you are probably already familiar with rewriting & filtering git history; the target audience for this article are those of you do have _not_ done this before, but want to learn more about how it can be done.

I don’t use this, but I do something similar for my personal blog.

JSX (and components) is possibly the nicest templating language I’ve ever used. The problem with almost all others is that they are based on strings, so you lose type-safety (and more importantly completions) for the template parameters.

However, the current ecosystem makes it really hard to use JSX for just templating. There are libraries that do exactly that, but you end up wanting compatibility with React, because there are a ton of pre-made components that basically output only HTML (for my use case, react-fontawesome), which you miss out on by using a different library.
Presumably, the aggregate effect of local municipalities coffers increases improves the local area, making it more desirable/valuable, which is increased value. You could indeed realise that value: by selling your house and buying one in an area with the same desirability that your current house had when you purchased it.

So you can either hop around similar places and profit, or stay in one place that improves over time, and also pay more taxes over time.
Because while benefit and control are closely correlated, it's sometimes (purposefully) the case that you can have benefit, without control (or oversight).

> a felony conviction of a company for fraud incurred a penalty of 10% of the value of the company stock

Doesn't this sort of happen anyway? How would you prevent it increasing again; are you literally collecting a fee from stockholders (like a kind of anti-dividend)?

> it would align market price with shadiness of company executives

Then corps would just invest more in opaqueness and deniability (which they already do now). Corporations are known for being all PR public face. Plus, it would be easier to tank competition with slander and gossip - making investors even more scandal adverse (but not necessarily more ethically aligned)

> make some very powerful people very interested in ensuring that ethical leadership was in place

Or that there's an easy scapegoat lined up.
At its core Fastly uses heavily modified Varnish 2 with customer's having full access to vcl providing an unprecedented level of control of the request processing and cache behavior. It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to completely remove foot-guns while retaining this ability. They do amazing thing checking validity of the code and aborting broken requests but it is still vcl and in its core varnish 2 does not have multi-tenancy segmentation.
I think the weird weighting goes in the other direction though, more people are over-encumbered with tools they didn't need.
Yes the rich of today are almost completely sheltered from any risk. At least the royalty and nobility in the past had to fight in wars.
Pretty much. Notebooks can also be saved for running later.

And since they also generally support markdown, it doubles as documentation.
Device files require that the mount point allow device files. That's a mount-time option, and "nodev" will prevent this.

You'll still be able to create named pipes (mkfifo), but mknod will fail.

This is handy for filesystems with a poorly developed sense of user ownership and permissions, say, msdos or vfat.

I tend to mount my /tmp space nodev and nosuid, as occasionally you'll find poorly-written, or nefariously-intended programs attempting to do such things there.
That just means it's based on chromium, which makes sense for a browser.
Hey guys creator here,

YouTubeScribe is back. This is a small chrome extension that lets you read almost any page as if it was an essay.

I built this for myself because I've been consuming a of those Y Combinator YouTube Interviews and seeing it in writing helps a lot.

Any comments or feedback would be super appreciated! Still very new to this.

How does it work?
1. Install Chrome Extension (or paste it in a yt url)

Indeed, for least distraction, content should start at the top left of the screen. For this, I already had my tabs on the right, but now I am trying bookmarks/address bar at the bottom.

Not sure I'll keep it this way ... but what I ♥ about Vivaldi is the choice. If I wanted training wheels, I would already be using macOS.

You pay the same tax if you have $1m in shares that you bought long ago for $10k or $1m in shares that you bought last month for $2m.
Fastly and Cloudflare use a totally different approaches to edge control. If Fastly implements Cloudflare approach its key advantage would be gone.
We really need to get better at defending computer networks. You can't just rely on a good antivirus anymore.
OP posted a reply about why that might not be the best thing. Wonder why they deleted it.
What were the first processed foods?
I too think Cloudflare's "reverse HTTPS proxy" approach (where they have a CA-signed certificate for every domain that gets pointed at them) is bad for the Internet.

But how does Fastly avoid this problem? It's really more a symptom of the "web pki" trainwreck than anything else.

I tried looking on Fastly's website for technical details, but like every other corporate website it was an impenetrable mass of marketing bling and partner logos.

Seasonal migrant workers in UK agricultural sector often make next to nothing and are seriously misled and exploited, to the point where I think it should be considered fraud.

We recruit folks from Romania promising them a decent wage, say $10 and hour, and they are typically naive folks straight out of school. Part of the contract is that they are provided with lodging, food, etc. Then they realise that after getting charged $50 for living in a tent and other "charges" they actually make like $10 a day.

The sceme basically provided a steady supply of serfs to pick fruit, and noone in britain would sign up for this.

My initial thinking behind any business idea was more often than not preceded by "what if Google clones my idea???!?!? :((((". Two things wrong with this line of thinking.

First it assumes Google can execute on said idea better than me and that I can't innovate. Here's the thing though; the bigger a company is the slower it gets. Sure, they can implement processes but big always gets more complex. Being small gives you an edge. What you do with that edge will determine whether FAANG apes your idea or not.

Secondly, big tech isn't immune to market forces. The more features they add, trying to please every last potential user leads to bloat. At some point their search experience is bound to get degraded from adding way too many features in pursuit of every last user. This adds more bureaucracy. More tech debt. More uncontrollable variables.

Search in 2021, especially on mobile, is vastly different from even 5 years ago. There are more ads, more tracking, more fraud, more shady back dealing, more user hostile anti-patterns. Yes, users currently enjoy their product but at some point surveillance capitalism will get its reckoning (see Apple, Europe, regulation in general) and for all the various products they have, search is the only relevant one. Without Search, how 'threatening' is Google really?

Same goes for Facebook and that hot mess of an app. News feed, groups, pages, dating, marketplace, messaging, watch, etc. All this reeks of a co. that's lost focus in pursuit of not ceding users to competitors. This just means when they fail (which they will!), they will fail spectacularly.

My advice to you and myself is focus on a niche. Try to do things that will be hard for FAANG to reproduce by making your users love your product more.

Competing head on with these behemoths is foolish, but a moat is possible nonetheless given proper execution.
Have the Vivaldi developers confirmed whether or not they'll continue supporting Manifestv2? I think I heard something along those lines but I Can't remember where.

"99% believe they buy an American brand!" she says with horror in her voice. That i so.... American.

While a monopoly is bad this is a very poor source to use to prove a point, even though they do admittedly have a point (like the broken clock being correct twice a day). The problem has absolutely nothing to do with it being an Italian company but that is of course a big point in any 60 Minutes video (US good, others bad) and I highly doubt it would have been made had it been Walmart instead of Luxottica.

But to comment on-topic: I believe Google and/or search engines should be put under the same rules and laws as the EU did with Microsoft. Search engine is searchengine, not search/travelplanner/hotel finder/translator/whatever. It strangles competition and innovation. Google should include those other things from other services if another service will sell the service to Google or keep clear.

Edit: In short, as the EU is already working on, Google and the likes that are gatekeepers, needs to be stopped or broken up.
it forces you to provide a phone number to use it. I'm out... too invasive

Capacity is somewhat fungible, so if this enables Bosch to manufacture their ASICs in-house that frees up capacity somewhere else for other devices.

I like Vivaldi but I do enjoy using my main browser also for web development. BUT, they do a browser for power users but couldn't care less with developers since they haven't fixed the broken responsive mode in the developer tools.

Lol, that's a joke right? Lightning network is more centralised than federal reserve.
>grabbing free info anyone can get

Yes, that's true, the info is free in a sense that someone published it on the internet. But taking the weather companies as an example, someone has to measure the weather, and then compute the predictions. That'a real cost someone needs to pay. And that I think is the reason some people don't like what Google is doing - they are displaying the temperature, while someone else paid for it to be measured.
Used phones exist, and even more are out there if you are willing to do things like replace a screen at home.

Facebook and instagram exist for advertising: Small businesses aren't going to get much traction on google anyway without specific searches for it, though android is finally catching up and I now get local places in game adverts.

Do a different job.
You may not be using IE directly, but it's embedded in many places where it may still work very well without JavaScript (e.g. the CHM help viewer).

Agree, "completely false" is a stretch on my part, but stereotypes are broad and mostly unhelpful, and this was a response to that.

Maybe a better way to express it is:

The stereotype of German efficiency is based on centuries old reputation, but not really representative of present day Germans.
The way the US taxes physical property based on its current market value is pretty unusual these days, and I'm not sure it's a good idea. It seems to have all kinds of weird distortive effects on the market like encouraging train companies to rip up serviceable track to reduce their tax, incentivizing manufacturers to keep the bare minimum supply of components and materials in stock, and either causing increases in paper wealth due to a house price boom to mean people can no longer afford to keep a roof over their heads or leading to Proposition 13-like measures to prevent this that have their own negative effects. Everyone ultimately seems to pay the price for all these consequences of the US tax structure.
