Ugh, no.

Nobody give a flying flitwick what products you buy - there are only products to buy on the major exchanges (Amazon/Walmart/<InsertGroceryStore>).

No, this has directly to do with stealing ideas on a mass scale, and then not really being able to cope without handing your sht over - if your business is to sell e.g. lift truck systems to big box stores, and you spend time, energy, effort, going through all the systems to figure out what you need to do properly build systems which those big box stores want, there NOTHING STOPPING GOOGLE FROM STEALING ALL THOSE IDEAS VIA SEARCH RESULT AND PUTTING THAT BIZ OUT OF BIZ.

Now yes you can argue some of it might* be covered by Patent - thing is lawsuits cost time and money, big biz like Google? It can hire a lot of fancy lawyers and spend a lot of time wasting your money while you try to litigate it's IP theft. Meanwhile, because it dominates search results, your revenue streams drop to zero and you can't afford the fees to win...patent becomes irrelevant.

Or worse, because patent's need to be complete ideas/concepts, it auto-files the patent before you ever get done dusting off the cobwebs on your concept.

"Just hire a patent lawyer" - don't be ridiculous, that's exactly how you kill/stifle innovation. Nobody's innovating by first hiring a patent lawyer, that's what you do after the fact or if you just have buckets of money to throw around... (again, killing innovation by reducing 'innovators' to rich fuckers versus anyone who has a good idea and can implement it).
Indeed, and it's my understanding that supporting that kind of integration is a strength of Python. Since I use Python in the lab, I've also found that the whole ctypes thing is a life saver when dealing with hardware drivers that are only furnished with a C API.
There's always the sweet spot, but like almost everything involved with predicting the future you rarely know what that is. So you take an educated guess and do what feels right, and the people you know and the media you consume paint that normal for you. Hopefully you don't have a warped perception, because you won't know under after the damage is done.
Truly different capabilities under the hood. Yes, they are both CDN providers, but fastly offers a remarkable amount of customization that cloudflare does not.

For 99% of customers, one can argue that cloudflare is more than sufficient. For 1% of customers, fastly is arguably the correct choice just based on feature set alone.

So, in summary, you can certainly compare the two, but for certain customers cloudflare lacks the feature set they may choose to use on fastly.

The definition of hate speech can be made to fit whatever political agenda you seek to promote. For example, you will get banned from Twitter for saying "feminism is cancer" on the basis that the statement is hate speech against women. However, saying "white lives don't matter" will not get you banned from Twitter, nor will saying "#HitlerWasRight" in regards to the Israel/Palestine conflict (both exact quotes from racist twitter users who are still on the service).

They manifestly are income for the recipient.

They aren't taxed as such, though, because undertaxing income through generational wealth transfer is how you preserve a privileged elite.

The annual per-recipient limits are large, only amounts over them count against the lifetime limit, and the lifetime limit is enormous.

Since billionaires get that way by being better at investing, the theory that poor people inherently put money to better use is not persuasive.

True, you avoided paying taxes, but you have less money than you would if you didn’t make the failed investment (you lost more money on that investment than you saved in taxes). Therefore the statement “no downside risk” is incorrect. Your downside risk is discounted by your tax rate, it’s not zero.
If you look at the table with 4 billionaires in the propublica article, 3 of the 4 (Bezos, Musk, and Buffett) paid tax rates of over 20% of their reported income, consistent with the 15% long term capital gain rate.
Justice is a process. It's much easier to agree on a process than the right outcome in a specific case. So society agrees on some reasonable process -- judges, juries, lawyers, and witnesses -- ahead of any specific crime.

When the process is followed in a specific case, people can accept it even if they don't like the outcome, because they had a hand in the process that produced the outcome. Over time you can improve the process. That's justice.
No doubt, but there's always a way to smoke the whole thing, even with all the fail safe and redundancy in the world.
Its going to be harder to trust any app now. Who knows who's behind it?
>shouldn't it be within the user's purview to decide what to allow and what not?

Imagine it this way: The local supermarket is selling a product which claims to be food but actually contains a highly toxic poison. And then someone justifies it still being allowed because it's still up to the buyer to choose to buy and consume it. It's on the user, the should be responsible to look for trusted brands that do not disguise poison as food or they could take it down to their local lab to test it for toxicity before consuming it.

It's obviously completely absurd to expect the user to protect themselves from malice like this which is rampant on browser extension stores.
Those are all very obvious questions that I have been asking myself for years, without finding useful answers.

The objective reality is that I did not succeed. Somehow people think accepting that means I have a negative attitude. I haven't given up on ever working again, but I'm not delusional enough to think I haven't been unemployed for a long time.

The claim is that poor people’s use is better for society (positive externalities) not for the poor person. That billionaires are better at assuring that any negative impacts of their transactions are externalized, and insuring internalized gains, is clear, but not the point.

> commitment to ensure that customer configurations cannot break the whole system

You can't just ensure a config change won't break things in large distributed systems, it's too complex with too many factors, there will always be risk. To mitigate your risk, youd want to design your system to do progressive, regional rollouts, with canaries to attempt to detect and isolate before a wide spread outage occurs. Even if you have all of this set up, there is still risk that your regions and systems are not fully isolated and outages could cascade anyway.

There will always be risk, there will always be errors. This is why SLAs and SLOs exist, they define and codify an agreement of what an outage is and what compensation is required if the agreement isn't met.

If you were speaking your native language to someone who understands it, but spoke back to you in their native language that you are learning, you can get the same confirmation. I've done this before and it can work quite well. So I'm not really convinced it's necessary for comprehension. It's necessary for being able to speak of course, I don't disagree with that.

This also implies you cannot understand a language without people who can speak it to you. You can learn to read books without reading them out to someone who tells you what they mean.

Honestly, this doesn't even really make sense considering my own experience of going from not comprehending stuff like shows and podcasts to being able to almost completely understand everything being said a lot of times, without any real practice speaking to people. Unless you want to claim that I'm not actually understanding anything at all :).

>Mask use is almost free.

They cost $10 for a box of five here for masks that ideally should be one time use, if used properly. I've noticed a ton of 'mask pollution' over last year. Masks lying on the ground, masks in waterbodies, masks on the beach.

The only places that offer masks on entry are government run places, despite it being legally mandatory everywhere. Otherwise, you pay out of your pocket.

In the end, i see people wearing masks incorrectly everywhere, we have such rules as 'wear a mask inside, unless you're sitting at a table' Which makes absolutely no sense.

The masks used by 90% of people use are no better than tying a t-shirt over your face.

The way it's been implemented most places, people's attitudes towards it both the for and against people and generally everything with masks are over the top or not enough.

If you are in a small enclosed place in close proximity to other people and you wear an appropriate face covering you don't touch and you dispose of properly afterwards or wash as soon as possible, you are doing something effective.

Otherwise, it seems to be more about appearances and making people feel better than anything.

Hell, most of the covid signs at businesses around here pretty much say everyone needs to wear a mask so 'people feel comfortable'.

Yes, it also feels like a lot to me, but it has become much easier to do as my comprehension has gone up. But most of that is not actually taking time out of my day. I go on walks every day, listening to podcasts at the same time. While I do chores, browse the internet, or drive somewhere, I do the same thing. This usually adds up to at least 2 hours a day. On top of that I make sure to do some reading, then try to watch a show or two in japanese on top of that.

I suppose this last year has been quite good for immersion style learning, since there wasn't much else to do except stay inside.

Of course, those with less responsibilities can spend much more time doing this, and most of the success stories where people get truly excellent results in short amounts of time are from high school or college students. I don't mind if it takes a bit more time for me :).
> Unfortunately articles like this which conflate things actually make it harder for us to fix the real loophole.

While I would consider that a loophole, I'm not sure it's the main problem. I feel that for all the complaints and logic of the substack piece, it misses the point of the propublica one, the kind of underlying feeling that's driving it: that it's unfair that the wealthiest people in the world pay so little tax compared to people in the 10% to .1% bracket, and even compared to people in lower brackets. It's unfair that they can gain extraordinary amounts of wealth, to such a degree that it's impractical for them to even use, and yet not be taxed on any of it, unrealized or no.

Because from my perspective, my monetary gains (eg. salary) don't really feel realized until I use them to buy something. Cash in the bank doesn't do much but make me feel financially safer - so why is taxing income considered reasonable, but wealth is not? And why, exactly, is it apparently reasonable to have sales taxes that don't exceed 12% (disclaimer - in the states, as far as I know); capital gains at 15%; but my income at 25%, 35%, 45%? Why is considering taxing wealth like company shares "far left end" but taxing other wealth, like my house, considered acceptable? Heck, we even have assessments and appraisals for real estate for the purpose of determining value without selling, for more accurate taxes and associated financial instruments - but taxing something that has a constant active market is the thing that's weird?

The way that the substack article fails to mention Warren's millionaire wealth tax proposal is a further disappointment, and leaves me feeling like it is also a fairly weak piece of journalism, not unlike the one it criticizes. It also makes little mention of the ever-higher bracket of the estate tax, and has bits like

> Sometimes stock prices go down, and that's generally not a write-off. So taxing the upside at an arbitrary point is unfair and kind of just silly.

Just because it isn't a write off now doesn't mean it couldn't be if some sort of wealth tax was implemented; this a poor-faith considering of the policy. In short, while I wouldn't consider the original article to be of much merit, and certainly below propublica's usual standard, this rebuttal is hardly any better.
The key strength of drones is that they kill who you want to kill, or destroy the materiel you want to destroy, without any collateral damage at all. Coupled with adequate intelligence, which they also help obtain, drones make nuclear weapons obsolete; they are a dramatically more effective means of coercion. There are a lot of fantasies in this thread about how they're easy to defend against, and that would be true if we were talking about drones that cost the same as a fighter jet or a Tomahawk or even a Toyota, but you can mass-produce drones that are capable of delivering sub-kilogram munitions with centimeter precision for under ten dollars.

So the relevant comparison isn't a slow cheap drone versus a Tomahawk or a Toyota; it's a hundred thousand slow cheap drones versus a Tomahawk, or two thousand slow cheap drones versus a Toyota. A hundred thousand slow cheap drones is enough to coerce all the officers of any army into resigning; all you need is the realtime whereabouts of their parents, siblings, children, and spouses, and effective ransomware that reliably spares the children of officers who have already resigned, or who haven't yet been contacted. And no CIWS is going to help with that, even if it doesn't run out of ammo after the first fifteen drones, because the children aren't on an aircraft carrier or an army base.

Jef Raskin pointed most of this out in 02001 in an underrated essay, 'next time it can be worse'. At least so far, it hasn't been.
