Great comment! I always presumed the term was an 18th-19th century coinage referring to French; had no idea it referred to a pidgin originating in the late middle ages. Thanks for the enlightenment!
Oh damn. That's awesome! Thanks for explaining :)
Many apps are free so that argument doesn’t hold up. Also 30% of subscription revenue from services they don’t run just because it was purchased through an app is further proof that the fee is just rent seeking.
It's notable that a big reason that Angband has a large number of variants is because a lot of its data is in easily readable, editable flat text files. For instance:

https://github.com/angband/angband/blob/master/lib/gamedata/...

This allowed people to start work on variants without having to write C or even recompile. Also, Angband's source code has a reputation for being pretty clean and easy to understand and modify.
Ouch. What's a good docker alternative? Something with similar dockerfile semantics but can be linux only for sure.
>Serious question, why does everything require an app?

An App button on your home screen is zillion times better for 95% of user than a web address.

If Apple allowed one click installation of Web App. ( Not clicking on Safari settings and add Site to Home Screen button ). Or Scanning a QRCode to download a Web App.

Along with adding all the missing Web App features to Safari that could be enabled only for Web App and not Web browser.

That would have been fine by me. This is borderline as good as side loading.
I don't know about your second sentence, but your first sentence is absolutely correct.

I am an Albertan who lives in Calgary, where TC Energy is headquartered. I am by no means a shill for Big Oil and am thankful that I do not work in that industry.

Having said that, I do not think that blocking the supply side of the equation helps as much as certain parties believe that it does. As long as the demand for oil exists, the suppliers will find a way.

This also has side effects that some parties do not consider: Railroads have finite capacity, and when more of that capacity is absorbed by oil shipments, there is less capacity for the transportation of other goods, like grain.
fanhouse is a SFW platform where creators can monetize their social media presence by posting about themselves and their lives

1. Why would creators using fanhouse get to bypass Apple’s tax?

2. Why is this being treated differently from Kindle, which allows creators to distribute content via an app offered in the App Store without paying 30% of ebook price?
Oh, it could generate revenue if it was legal. But it is not, so it seems difficult.
I’ve worked several jobs in the past where using reciprocal OSS (such as GPL) was expressly forbidden. This would leave us in the position of reinventing the wheel, buying something, or using something (possibly inferior) that’s more permissive.

(I guess in many ways this is a data point to support the “OSS work becomes just a source of free labor for large tech companies” thesis up thread.)
Right, while you wave your magic wand to try and accomplish that, the world will keep using oil.

Obviously, you're right long-term but it's a slow transition not a switch we can flip.

This is a disaster, fiscally, environmentally, and politically. It’s a waste of all the money spent thus far, it will lead to an increase of statistically more dangerous transportation methods, and raise the price of other foreign oil imports to compensate. All around just bad policy.
Ha, would be.. fun? interesting? something? to have an app or little device that's sort of an 'equaliser for your ears'.

Presumably there's nothing technical stopping that for those with hearing aids fitted? Just insufficient use case / desire for such granular control. I'd be surprised if you can't get them with something more dumbed down like a 'quieten crowds' or 'loudness' switch.
The choice that people want is the ability to have other App Stores, or direct installation. This changes nothing for people like you while giving more opportunities for others.

As soon as someone else contributes, copyleft licenses also prevent you from using your own work in anything proprietary. So if you have side project that may potentially grow into a business if it takes off then permissive makes sense.

I'll add my anecdote to the pile. I don't use ketamine a lot (it is not very good for headaches, pretty good for dulling a mosquito bite until it fades away naturally, excellent for dancing).

I've taken about 1000mg over the course of several months, at irregular intervals.
While it is somewhat higher than Scott's 280mg/month, it's not an order of magnitude higher. Certainly nowhere near 90,000mg/month.

I can report one event of pain while peeing, a few days ago. So it looks like my body is not built to handle even moderate levels of ketamine use, and I'd have to stay closer to 100mg/month or lower to be on the safe side.

That said, let me reiterate, this is anecdote. I only think it's interesting because there is no other reasonable explanation for my recent urinary pain, and I didn't expect such low doses of Ketamine to have noticeable effects.
> It erodes trust in institutions

So the sequence of events here was:

Permit denied in normal administrative course.

Permit approved, illegally reversing factual determinations without sufficient support by subsequent administration, resulting in the approved permit being struck down by the courts, which was maintained through extensive litigation after the initial decision.

Permit reapproved by executive order bypassing the environmemtal and procedural law constraints that resulted in the previous approval being revoked.

Permit rerevoked by executive order undoing the previous order.

Its certainly not a history that inspires trust in institutions generally, but focussing on the last step for that criticism is...bizarre.
If the odds of an under happening is 50% then that is indeed a great bet! The odds of winning would be (0.5)^8 or 1 in 256.
So the EV of the bet would be

E(x) = (1/256 * 1000) - (255/256 * 3)

E(x) = .91796875

So you are expected to make nearly 92 cents on every 3 dollars bet. Over a 30% return! Any bookie offering these odds would quickly go broke.
Look, that's all super reasonable. I don't have an airtight argument. This is more of a different way of looking at things. I think those sort of tricks can help with safety, but they can also come from a place of ego. If you don't believe me, check out the Snopes link I originally replied to for what happened when there was a brown M&M.

On your rideshare example, I don't do a preflight check when I ride an airliner. I did when I was a pilot, even if it had just come out of the shop.

> But it's not "your" concert, as much as it's billed that way.

This is it. This is the difference in mindset. I now think of it as "mine". Not that it's mine and no one else's. But I choose to take responsibility for anything that went wrong that I could have been prevented. I don't care how the responsibilities are divvied up or what the contracts say. So anywhere I'm in some position where people are counting on me, I'm either going to check things myself or know that someone I trust did the checking.

The problem is more subtle than just authorisation.. you need some way to 'group' machines on a network.

If you just use LAN broadcast/discovery, and you want things to be automatic, then multiple users on the same network end up snuffling their way in to your mouse sharing configuration or you're bombarded with requests to connect.

A pairing mode would solve this but then you have to train users to set it up, it's not "seamless", and Apple wouldn't have been able to do the cool demo.

Synergy 2 used a cloud approach to pairing for the same reason

The "basic social contract" in the United States is the United States Constitution along with individual state constitutions.

No, I think it's supposed to be a contradiction that an on-the-ball venue will catch before signing the contract.
Not literally, no. The literal Lingua Franca spoken across the eastern meditarranean was named for the "Franks", which simply meant "Western Europeans" to the people speaking in lingua franca; but was mostly based on Italian, with slavic and Greek influences. So the French, the Prussians, the Venetians, probably even the Polish were "Franks" in the sense used in Lingua Francia.

In turn, the use of the term Frank to refer to western europeans was in relation to the Frankish Empire, a confederation of germanic tribes. France is one descendant of the Frankish Empire, Germany being another. The Franks themselves spoke a germanic language.
Facebook extends its work-at-home policy to most employees
You missed some details there. It was approved under the Obama administration before it was rejected by the state department on the vague grounds that it is "not in the national interest." The state department was only involved since it crossed the border with Canada, and for deals with close allies like Canada, this approval is typically a formality. It sets a bad precedent when the government capriciously steps in to block a deal that has been years in the making because of political pressure.
Amortize is what you do with the loan on your home; never heard that particular word in this context.

I am surprised at how blithely you assume the terminology you learned at your particular college is universal, and how parochially you seem to look down on people just because they don't share that particular terminology.
Right, I don't think that's the part that's counterintuitive. It's the claim he makes "if someone offers you a bet 70% chance to win a dollar, 30% loss, it's better not to take it in some cases" is what is counterintuitive to people.
Hahah, that's actually awesome. Of course someone out there put in the leg work to work around the licensing issue, and then shared it to the (minor?) masses.
Given how large the oil market is and how generally inelastic the demand is, I would wager any overall reduction in demand will be marginal. There won't be no effect, but I don't see there being a large effect either.
The alternative methods of transport will be more expensive, which will lead to a decrease in demand.
I want to trust that when a CA has a certain written policy, they think it's important to stick by that policy, and they have plans to stick by the policy.

For instance, Symantec had a policy that they validate their subscribers before issuing the certificate. What they actually did was that they validate their subscribers before issuing the certificate, unless they were testing things out. In 2015, it was found that they tested out a google.com certificate, and they fired the employees involved in the incident: https://archive.is/Ro70U

Two years later, it was found that they tested out certificates like "example.com", "test.com", etc.: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1334377

At no point in either incident were those certs outside of the control of Symantec employees. Still, they lost a lot of trust (and ultimately their CA was marked untrusted) because they did not fix their problems: https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:Symantec_Issues

So apparently letting people use human judgment, firing people who misuse it, and hiring different people with hopefully-better human judgment is not the way to be trustworthy.

(To be clear, I think it's extremely reasonable for them not to revoke the certificates, but I think it's good and important that they're following the procedure which requires them to make an explicit decision not to revoke them in consultation with the community.)
One thing English has going for it is fault tolerance.

I wasn't talking about a phone number or IMEI or VIN, I was talking about an iPhone. An iPhone can identity me if I setup iMessage, which is based on a phone number but effectively takes it over so that Apple receives all texts sent by other iPhone users on my behalf until I unregister it in some way. It's a common complaint that just switching to an Android phone can result in lost messages and is a notable switching cost.

People use my address to identify me too. Does that make my rented home a public utility? I can't take my home address with me. I guess my landlord should be forced by law to renew my lease indefinitely otherwise I'll lose my geographical name.

> You can use maps or youtube without an account but you will never receive that job offer without your email. And you may not be able to access your other critical accounts since they rely on email.

Of course you can receive job offers without a specific email. You can update your job seeking profile and inform companies you've applied to of a new email. It's also entirely up to you to share additional forms of contact like a phone number when you apply.

Any account critical enough to be considered a public utility like banking, utilities, public services, etc won't be solely based on email and will have non-email recovery mechanisms, usually based on your actual identity.

I forget what he said in the video, but generally this thing can be a little surprising because even a pretty decent looking bet can blow you up with high probability if you size it wrong.

Vacant houses do not match the behavior of private equity investors. PE will rent out houses and viciously profit maximize at every step.

Vacant homes from "investors" are almost certainly older residents that have moved, or passed away and left it to kids that haven't figured out what to do, or just owners in the area that have locked in low property taxes and don't want to bother with the hassle of renters.

These are precisely the small-time landholders that benefit the most from stopping apartments from being built, because the source of their investment games is entirely from scarcity.

And the cure is precisely to take away their ability to limit housing by building what you call "stack and pack."
It was originally denied by political decree.

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/nov/06/obama-re...

It was political from end to end, and was never denied on fundamental grounds, but instead has been governed by protectionism. What made it particularly farcical is that at the same time Obama was pontificating about the horror's of Alberta's oil and turning an environmental new leaf, US shale oil exploration (just as bad in every dimension) was growing at a staggering pace, and is now multiples the output of Alberta's oils ands.

The quicker we transition to renewables the better, but the farce of Keystone was always just politics.
> o precisely because they have welfare that can only be feasibly funded by broad-based taxes

I'm confused by why you think you're disagreeing with me. My point is that efforts to make poor people richer can be totally separate from efforts to make rich people poorer. Of course broad-base taxation can raise poor people's standard of living. That's my point, it's totally orthogonal to whether we want to have additional taxes on the very rich to prevent wealth inequality.
I couldn't read Scott's email at your link but I could here: https://twitter.com/arsonatdennys/status/1362153191102677001

I don't think his reasoning is that crazy here--I certainly don't see it as the smoking gun that you or the person who tweeted it do. I also haven't noticed a huge amount of racists in his comment section, although I have to admit I haven't spent all that much time on the blog.
It's not rational, I guess, but it really feels like it is in the way, and it distracts from actually reading the text of the article.
Punchline:

“The cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection remained almost zero among previously infected unvaccinated subjects, previously infected subjects who were vaccinated, and previously uninfected subjects who were vaccinated, compared with a steady increase in cumulative incidence among previously uninfected subjects who remained unvaccinated.

Not one of the 1359 previously infected subjects who remained unvaccinated had a SARS-CoV-2 infection over the duration of the study.”
Presumably it's like I'm assuming Win10 is, a slow burn.

The economy of Alberta depends less on revenues from oil and gas than the economy of neighboring British Colombia depends on real estate (aka flipping houses), and is roughly as diversified as Ontario (in terms of % of economy coming from various sectors) which is the other heavy weight economy in Canada.

People keep saying that Alberta needs to diversify as though this is some sort of epiphany that the province refuses to have, but it honestly just reveals the ignorance of the person making that claim regarding the current economic state of Canadian provinces.

This was explained better by Michael Pettis in "The U.S. Trade Deficit Isn’t Caused by Low American Savings", https://carnegieendowment.org/chinafinancialmarkets/77009

> [I]f savings are already plentiful and interest rates are low, to the extent that all desired investment has been funded, U.S. investment wouldn't rise. If the gap between U.S. investment and U.S. savings is unchanged (and investment doesn't rise), then savings cannot rise. This means that policies designed to raise U.S. savings by $20 can only cause savings in one part of the economy to rise by $20 while simultaneously causing savings in another part to decline by exactly the same amount.

The more abstract point is that but for government borrowing (both Federal, state, and municipal) soaking up the glut of cash and redistributing it, unemployment would progressively increase. Pettis' policy argument is that, given this situation (current account deficit driven by foreign dollar holders), government spending should focus on inducing consumption rather than investment as the supply-side of the equation is manifestly maxed out.

> Fair enough, but in the comment I replied to, you said that you were living in Argentina, and got paid in bitcoin.

Right, two separate problems. The reason I think I can't use TransferWise to get paid is that I don't have access to a bank account. Maybe it's possible to open a TransferWise account without a bank account or credit card? Maybe someone in Argentina with a bank account could get paid that way, although they'd never know if their next paycheck was going to arrive or get cut off by a regulatory change.

Actually it looks like this has already happened. https://pirlutravel.com/transferwise/ says TransferWise doesn't work with Argentine bank accounts since January 02020. "Lo único que sigue funcionando por ahora para enviar y recibir dinero afuera es Western Union, AirTM y algunas plataformas de criptomoneda." Maybe this AirTM thing is something I should try.

> Bitcoin itself does not solve it. But I assume that you have found people in Argentina, who are willing to pay you cash for bitcoins?

Oh, sorry! I didn't realize you intended to exclude Bitcoin when you said "cash". Yes, there are people here in Argentina who will buy Bitcoin for dollars or pesos. Many of them are Venezuelan, so presumably a lot of those Bitcoins go to Venezuela next.
