Yes? Absolutely?
Regardless of intent, the laws themselves cover price fixing, formation of cartels, collusion which restrains trade, mergers and acquisitions that create monopolies, and monopolization. In other words, monopolistic behavior.

People falsely believing that our current anti-trust laws cover a broad range of anti-competitive behavior that they don't has likely contributed to the lack of any new competition legislation in nearly half a century.
And censoring public conversation to medical malpractice & issues with treatments is also a slippery slope that totalitarian regimes have regularly instituted on their own people.

There is a perfect solution, which is for the government & the corporatist state to defend our rights, which include the Freedom of Speech. Somebody is lying & the public has a right to all of the pertinent information & unrestricted conversation. The worst case is for the liars to have total control of the information. Those are the definitions of totalitarianism & authoritarianism.

Edit: I actually misspoke. The worst case is Technocratic control a la Brave New World, where autonomy is lost & cyber (regulatory) divisions take over all aspects of life. Nothing screams dystopia more than a technocrat with a God complex exerting one's will to control the lives of the population. Human life is sacred & spiritual and the Technocratic movement as it stands today spoils this light to create a horde of undead.
> Traditional notions of market share were companies selling commodities (oil, rail travel) with undifferentiated products

This is not correct. Market shares are perfectly well defined and understood in the differentiated products case.

Indeed, it is precisely the fact that products are differentiated that makes market definition an important part of nearly every antitrust proceeding: where should the market start and stop? What market is being monopolized?

The FTC failed to come up with a good market definition here, among other problems.
Three Studies, One Result: Vaccines Point the Way Out of the Pandemic
But you took the time to learn general IT and website stuff. That's working smart.
Composition of the atmosphere and knowing what frequencies of light make it all the way to the ground is different. There’s so much dust in the air that it might reflect different frequencies depending on where you are. That’s why having a cheaper probe on the ground that measures this makes it a better chance of getting it right for more expensive probes. But they don’t have those initial probes.

My point is China has no probes on Mars unless they have secret ones. They can GUESS what would be best optional frequencies to tune their solar panels for but my point is that they are spending billions of dollars. Do they really want to rely on data they didn’t retrieve themselves? That seems like an odd thing to take a risk on. Better to either work together with nasa since they have the expertise. Hence I’m curious what the relationship is between China and nasa for this project and if it was an open one or if they got the data some other way.
I implemented NVIDIA’s parallel prefix scan as an Apple Metal compute shader a while back, for this GPU based ‘blobby’ thing. [1]

The marching cubes algorithm I was implementing generated a lot of sparse datasets, and I wanted to send only the vertices that were going to be rendered. Got a lot of speedup when all was said and done — and learning this algorithm, and the parallel way of thinking in general, was eye opening.

Nah. There are many cases where the medical consensus was wildly wrong and outsiders were correct.

Isn't Oxford studying it and India and Egypt approving it mean that people are discussing Ivermectin? Whether we need to discuss Ivermectin on YouTube is a very different question than we need to discuss Ivermectin at all. Videos about Ivermectin often come with a lot of disinformation about the vaccine. If YouTube decides, "hey, I think all of this is going to cloud out information about a vaccine campaign that is proving increasingly effective", I don't think that's a bad move. That doesn't mean that Ivermectin is a subject discussed under only closed doors like Communism in the 50s though.

Security specialist here. Startups are built by generalists. Good decisions were made here which made other defense-in-depth considerations not as critical when reconciled with go-to-market needs.

If every generalist focused on every security risk in their product, they'd expose themselves to the business risk of not moving quickly enough.

It's pretty clear NewsBlur did what they could and relied on the expertise of others to not fail them in exceptionally basic, entirely avoidable ways. They were betrayed by that reliance.

A version of this problem is taking place along the Australian river systems: Decisions at a state level about a resource flowing between the states. Federal/State politics is driving some truly horrendous outcomes.

Maximal use of the water tends to high profit maximal which tends to (a) capture as much as you can (b) what happens downstream is not my business.

It has also created a really bizarre third party market in water rights, which is being distorted for financial gain unrelated to the actual utility of water consumption.

"reserves for the environment" last as long as a paper bag in a firestorm. Nobody seems to be prepared to put a capital value on the natural resource, to "big" its value up to the economic extraction values of Almond trees or table grapes or cotton or rice.

And of course, people drink the water. For most people, it's been through a few kidneys along the way. By the time it gets down to South Australia, water quality for any use is a huge concern.

There's another version about the "great Artesian Basin" which is a battle between ground water flows, deep bores, fracking/mining and farming

It can be both.
If we still used an ox head to mean the phoneme for 'A', that would be closer to the floppy disk icon for save. Consider, also, that the word 'save' predates computers. What, if the computer or floppy disk didn't exist, might we use to signify 'save'? Perhaps a currency symbol? A money bag? A bank? A life preserver? A piggy bank? Or maybe we don't even need a 'save' action any more (the best programs have autosave already) but some kind of "mark this state so I can come back to it (undo) later. Apple's Time Machine is one paradigm to consider as well: there's no never a "save" step, but you can go back to a previous state with not much effort.

I kinda like that we have now such a big, visible and studied echosystem where we'll see any pattern working at a significant scale.

Any kind of dichotomy just doesn't cut it anymore I think.
Evidence of the slipperiness is also insufficient. Youre really lookingfor an inductive argument where each step implies the next one.

It is exactly a valid argument. The points you and the parent comment are making are the very heart of the issue in horizontal merger and monopolization cases: what is the relevant market?

Draw it narrowly (I.e., convince the judge to accept a narrow market definition) and making the case against a merger or in favor of monopolization becomes easy. Convince the judge to draw it broadly and it becomes much harder to stop a merger or to make a monopolization claim.
The only question I can ask is, why Docker? Newsblur presumably existed before Docker.
It's a pipe dream as long as cities are dependent on areas beyond their rail transit networks for labor.

The infrastructure of every major city would need to be re-worked to make it not a pipe dream. The kind of re-work it would need simply doesn't happen to existing development. There's too many stake holders and too much valuable existing construction would need to be gotten rid of. Cities in Europe still have the original street layouts of their medieval cores that were left mostly intact when trains and then cars came onto the scene. If something displaces cars it will likely result in new development, not re-work of old development.
Standard passenger cars are essentially silent compared to trucks, busses and trains, unless you are right up next to traffic and they are going over 40ish which doesn’t happen often in a city.

I watched this for ten minutes and didn't see anything (apart from a flashing red screen). I'm supposed to be the artistic one in the family, so I can't help but feel slightly disdapointed. I've always suspected that people who claimed they could visualize things with great clarity were lying (the "images" in my mind's eye are very fleeting, lacking in detail, and can't be focused on -- like they're on the extremes of my periphery) but maybe I really was born with a disadvantage.
I studied Japanese, and went from 0 to JLPT N2 in 4 years. I attribute a lot of that to Anki/Ankidroid.

This is how I did it.

Usually when you start a language, you start with a textbook. It might be Genki Vol 1, or Nihongo So Matome 1, etc. I created two decks - a kanji deck, and a vocab deck. These decks were only for this single textbook. Every week when new kanji or vocab was introduced, I'd add those to the deck, and become familiar with them over the next week (while at the same time, reviewing existing vocab/kanji).

When that semester was over, and we started the next textbook in the new semester, I'd create two new decks. And so on and so on.

I think it's important to create the decks yourself. It gives you control, and makes you feel more invested in the process. For vocab, I'd always include example sentences. For Kanji, I'd actually have representations in two different fonts. One in the standard kanji font on your computer, but another in HonyaJi, a "hand-written" kanji font. For me, I just felt it helped when writing out the kanji to see how it looks handwritten.

The great thing about Ankidroid is the whiteboard feature. Use it!

If you're not studying a language with logographic characters like Chinese or Japanese, then great, you only need to worry about vocab!

(As for grammar, I never relied on Anki for that. Practice speaking, practice writing. Find local "conversation classes", where you meet up with native speakers. They can practice their English with you, and you can practice your new language with them. As for writing, check out a website called Lang-8. Native speakers look over your work for free, and in return you just take a few minutes to read over their stuff in English).
It probably would be easy to prove (or at least support the claim); it sounds more like the FTC didn't even try.

There are very real business reasons they don't do that though. One, is that algorithms that decide what you as a viewer want to look at are very successful at keeping you on their platform. Two, once any company chooses to filter content to make it more palatable to users, they start taking on the legal and PR risks for it.

I’m baffled by the companies which are fully remote but still consider it an essential job function[0] for their employees to travel to their annual company-wide social retreats. I understand that the boss thinks it’s super important for employees to occasionally mingle in person or whatever, but I struggle to not see this as a policy intentionally designed to avoid employing disabled people. Is there some good faith reason to do this that I’m not thinking of?

Happy as usual to strike a nerve. Your argument is more dependent on semantics than mine.

It sounds like you want some kind of labeling system, kind of like 'USDA Organic' certification, but for news organizations. Sure, the courts could try to interpret whether or not a news organization satisfies some criteria for this label, but I wouldn't call the result of their ruling 'the truth'.

Assuming consensus could be found among 'experts', consensus isn't a magic bullet. I have no doubt this would turn into a game of cherry-picking sources and feed the litigation culture we have. I personally wouldn't attribute any increased credibility nor usefulness to any such labeling scheme. I would actually trust it less and avoid it entirely.

And yes, if such a system existed people would actually think the output of the process you describe is the absolute truth, much like a gravitational constant. It would further bifurcate our society and in the end, likely be co-opted by some political party to silence the other.
>leading an otherwise-developed country to top the chart in pandemic deaths

The US is currently 74th of 203 countries when counting new covid cases per capita in the last week. So my perception is people have mostly switched to shaming the US for "vaccine nationalism" and the like, and downplaying accusations of poor handling of the epidemic.

Something like that could be an option; see also this other comment.[1] However every time I've thought about "hey, what if we made the 20% better by...", my conclusion has been "oh, but then we might never recommend [items with some set of properties that should get recommended], and the algorithm won't be able to correct itself." Any time you try to optimize in a certain direction, you'll always introduce at least a little bias[2], and randomness at least gives a chance of breaking out of that. So something like this could be a good idea, but I wouldn't want to have it completely replace random recommendations.

I think your solution is to have people pay you to put up that content.
No, it doesnt work that way. By projecting real, complex decisions down to some low dimensional set of criteria, you automatically throw away information and generalize. It's only fair in the sense that the criteria is the same, but it's necessarily based on some kind of average outcome and so effectively sacrifices outliers. Its is still extremely unfair to inputs (who are actual people in the cases we mean) that exhibit characteristics that reliably fit the prediction on average, but that don't conform to the prediction.
> Facebook the ad business...

- that is not the case the FTC tried to bring before the judge, so it’s not the issue here.

- if the FTC had tried to bring that case, Facebook would have (correctly, IMO) pointed out that the advertising market encompasses print, television, radio, direct mail, and online. Even in online it faces competition from (at least) Google and Amazon, among others. I think the FTC would definitely lose a “monopolizing online advertising” case handily.

Some central authority might be created to make things much easier, but then we would be back to square one with big corporations owning people's data and all related privacy concerns.

Not to criticize that possible solution, as I also agree with it in principle, but it is probably much harder to implement well than it looks, and should be created from scratch with scalability in mind: micropayments per post probably are the best option, which if applied to email too would eliminate spam in seconds, although that would also sound like admitting the defeat of the Internet as we knew it.
I would suggest the overlap between Facebook and G+ is a reasonable definition for broad real life social network for communicating with real world fiends, family, and social activities. LinkedIn, Patron, Reddit etc have related features but are designed for different kinds of relationships and types of communication.

Arguably Instagram in April, 2012 was a reasonable pens vs pencil division where the courts could have included or excluded them quite reasonably. Though allowing Facebook to buy them suggest a vary narrow definition at the time.
This same one got me after years of using Docker, I only discovered it after using the combination of Ubuntu Server (and it's ufw) on a DMZed device.

I was running what I thought was an internal FTP instance for almost a week.
Luckily it was about as hardened as regular ftp can be, but I noticed the problem when my service wasn't able to log in as the (very low) connection limit was filled by someone attempting passwords.

I've been using https://github.com/shinebayar-g/ufw-docker-automated to make docker compliant with ufw, and defining firewall rules as labels for the containers.
It needs some work still, namely the service should be hosted in it's own container for easier updating, but it works reasonably well.
