If there will be hell if airline fuel or pickup trucks have even small taxation, then they are always more advantageous compared to the alternatives, because they get a "free pass" for using a harmful but cheap energy source, and it doesn't matter what the engineer does.

Biden is marching us to war with Iran, the very thing people were terrified Trump would do just months ago, and people are cheering him on now. The flip in news reporting and how top Democrats react to what is nearly the same actions is insane.
> How do you join the dev team for a service you like and use, and then knowingly destroy it?

You start with priorities that are fucked up before you even interviewed for the job.

The world of today is not like the world of 10+ years ago. In 2001, if you met a developer, there was an exceptionally high % chance that they were fundamentally into technology in a very deep & personal way. In 2021, you will find that most people in technology see it for the cash cow that it is and utilize it accordingly.

I would say that maybe 10-20% of the tech employees today actually give a fuck about these sorts of things. The rest just want their paycheck and as many other benefits as they can obtain. Raising a stink over dark patterns is not a good idea if you don't bring a whole lot of other meaningful value to the table.
Kinda offtopic but Instagram's ads changed my attitude towards ads, and my attitude towards Facebook's creepy level of insight into my life and personality. If they have that data anyway -- and hundreds of companies do -- I might as well benefit from it, and Instagram's ads were the first ones that I actually found interesting. First of all, it was obvious when something was an ad. Second, they weren't intrusive or obnoxious. And third, they showed me cool stuff I actually wanted to buy! It was actually an enjoyable experience and that's so weird to say about ads.

The surveillance part still creeps me the hell out, but if they're gonna do it anyway they might as well use that data to benefit my life.

(On that note, I often find myself wishing I could ask the NSA for a copy of an old message or photo...)

Then it becomes a matter of game theory as to whether you cash in the bug immediately to empty the pot, or wait for it to grow even more from the positive feedback loop of it being "obviously bug free if it grew this large". For state-sponsored actors, 50M would only be a modest sum.
Amazon has plenty of money though? Their bet is that no matter how badly they treat their workers, there will be more. They seem to be right. Worse case they have to start treating them well now and still saved all that money in the past. Hardly idiocracy.

If you keep narrowing the focus down, every product becomes a monopoly on its functionality?
The court says that the FTC didn't factually establish that Facebook has sufficient market power to qualify as a monopoly (as I understand it).

In a certain market, Facebook + Instagram have great market power, but it depends on how you define the market. I'm curious if anyone has done it, maybe financial analysts, and how they define it:

* If the market includes public messaging, such as Twitter, then Facebook's power is relatively much diminished.

* If the market includes public forums, such as Reddit, HN, and every phpBB board, then it's hard to say Facebook controls monopoly power.

* LinkedIn provides similar service to professionals

* Where does Pinterest fit? TikTok?

Part of the problem is that Facebook competes in all these markets. In which one(s) do they have a monopoly and how are they defined? 'Personal user page + social communication'?
There were thriving communities like MUDs and IRC and Usenet before e-commerce and corporations moved in.
The industry doesn't exist in a vacuum - movies and TV shows are all financed with the expectation of long tail revenue and the people financing them are the ones who invented Hollywood accounting. A lot of the big budget stuff would be too risky without that revenue and it effects everything from the actor-SAG-studio relationship to licensing deals between major studios.

NYSE and the SEC _chose_ not to reverse those trades but they could have. There are plenty of ways the exchange can undo those and also trade busts happen daily on every exchange.

Almost certainly if a large index etf or fund lost everything to a software glitch the trades would be reversed and even if for policy reasons they weren’t they could be. The facility exists.
I'm pretty sure they don't make the Type-1's.
Perhaps iOS doesn't allow it. It's a valuable "bug" for Instagram, so they have no incentive to fix it. Otherwise the app is relatively bug free, and this issue has existed for years, so I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt. Facebook absolutely doesn't deserve it.
Facebook/Mark Zuckeberg didn't spend $1B on the infrastructure of Instagram. He bought the network effect that he knew is impossible to beat by a better product.
Yep, there's been some name-churn. Dat the name is no longer used, and all the tech that was powering it is now under https://hypercore-protocol.org/

From an architectural level, IPFS is more focused on the "one unified namespace for everything" application. IPFS is designed to transparently share blocks of files no matter what namespace/key that block lives under. For example, many projects have the MIT License in their source directory, so when retrieving that file, any node that has pinned a project containing that file can help seed you. This is handy from a sharing point of view, but also potentially difficult from a privacy issue.

The hypercore ecosystem is more focused on private / invite-only workspaces. Peers only exchange data with other peers in the same hyperswarm address.

Another difference in focus is mutability - Hypercores are designed to be updateable by exactly one person (an append-only log), and IPFS is designed to be updated by zero people (an immutable tree).

I haven't worked much with IPFS, but Hyper* makes it easy to mix and match only the modules you need for your application. There is some cool software and demos out there that use only hypercore and hyperswarm modules, and bypass the Hyperdrive file-tree representation entirely.
> Polymorphism is good. You describe polymorphism.

It also seems like they're describing the nominal typing of Java versus a structural approach.
Finding niches is how competition happens. Another term for it is market differentiation. Even if two products/companies start out identically, they quickly diverge somewhat.

Pepsi doesn't copy Coca-Cola's marketing about being a sexy/mainstream drink, they create their own niche of being for younger independent personalities.

When people choose to get their viral news from Reddit rather than Facebook, or their viral videos from YouTube rather than Facebook, that's competition period.
There is no counterparty risk in a smart contract involving only digital assets. There is systemic risk, however.
Seriously depends on what you do. Iq you're doing really low-level stuff, you could probably get in the microsecond range quite easily (for trivial stuff). But 8 milliseconds doesn't sound that impressive to me.
Have a centralized staging database with fake data that engineers use but don't break. Make a local copy of that database and do what you want with it. If you break things, grab another copy from staging.

Accept headers can negotiate extensions I suppose, but browsers can decide what they’d like to support, same as the rest of HTML standards.

In the last decade, I’ve seen browsers drop content types (FTP) and adopt media formats (WebP). But no new publication formats. If my browser can render PDF, why shouldn’t it render Markdown?

I organize a puppy meetup. Right now via a group SMS. Sub-optimal. Sharing event pics is flakey (mix of android and ios). The responses (LOL, hearts, etc) become their own text messages (?!). Etc.

Since some of us have Instagram, I thought to try it, if only to share pics. Sign up was brutal. I can't figure out how to use my phone account on my desktop. Sharing existing pics sucks. Taking pics with Instagram sucks.

I can't even figure out how to simply browse a friend's feed.

I legit can't imagine why anyone uses Instagram, for any purpose.
Back in the 1970s, the author John MacDonald, best know for his Travis McGee mysteries, wrote the novel Condominium, about a badly-built condominium building on the Florida coast. It was made into a TV movie in the early 1980s. I didn't read the book, and only saw a trailer for the movie, but my recollection was that a hurricane was the instrument of the disaster.

That's not actually what they said.

> While Right Wing Watch had essentially moved away from regularly posting its videos to YouTube over the past year, as Mantyla noted, the deletion of the site’s channel erases a deep, years-long archive of video clips—effectively eliminating a resource for understanding and exposing right-wing extremism.

Nothing in here says "we lost our only copies of the videos", just that the resource is now gone from the Internet, and that users currently can't get at it.

i have no complaints on the memorization system itself. it works and thats why i will continue to use anki despite my gripes with it. i do not agree that syncing is flawless though since i've had many major issues in the past. i imagine there are plenty that do not have issues depending on what they're studying and the contents of the decks they make, but that is not what i've experienced.
Oh, I just posted a question about this elsewhere in the thread. I've come to assume this is intentional and probably doesn't happen if you're logged in or using the app (though I don't know). It's been like this for years. Like every time I follow a link to Twitter I seem to get a random roll whether it works, and same random roll on each refresh. After n refreshes, where n may be 0-10, it works. Browsing the site doesn't do this.

Some other things that raise your glucose and you need insulin:

- waking up, liver produces glucagon

- stress at work, hormones going wild… including glucagon

- weather changes, when it is cooler you need more insulin

- you get sick. 2-3x insulin for me

- liver just having a normal glucagon production, that needs insulin without you ever eating anything

Nice that you have your A1c in control. Mine is 5.8% without too many hypos after 26 years of having T1. The tech I need for this costs a fortune without insurance, but at least I can finally live a normal life without nasty surprises every day.

At face value the above reads like a common sense statement about the world we live in. However more practically there are a number of deeper economic considerations that don't have clear cut answers such as

"How much human capital is consumed by low productivity enterprises leveraging the immobility/lack of choice present in impoverished workers? If workers had mobility/safety would they move to higher productivity work?"

"Should the minimum wage for workers be equal to the wage where the government doesn't need to provide benefits? If it's not, why does the government subsidize low productivity employers?"

Labor prices only exist in a free market so long as there are sufficient regulations to prevent exploitative labor arrangements and starvations. Theoretical arguments centered on bid/ask spreads don't quite apply in a world where there are life and death consequences to the market not clearing.
The question is are there really $1 USD for every $1USDT? The answer is surely not. You may be able to get your money out today but in the long run there is nearly a 100% chance you lose it all.

Maybe stablecoins are just digital currencies with binary exchange rates. It seems to me that when you declare a digital coin exactly tracks the value of the dollar, you basically are not allowing its dollar exchange rate to have any values except 1 and 0. It makes sense that when the value of this coin couldn’t possibly remain at 1 it by necessity had to toggle over to 0.

I think one way the FTC could really help companies monetize climate change initiatives is to give guidance on how to market improvements in products that save carbon. We recently had a big improvement in Windows bandwidth for updates in Windows 11, but it was extremely difficult to use our carbon estimates for marketing. We estimated that we saved about ~3-5k households worth of electricity, but there were concerns that the FTC wouldn't accept our calculations.

What can the US do?

China's population is a huge advantage right now, China has figured out how to create a mostly participatory economy so they have 10x the number of brains engaged vs. the US.

Each US citizen must be 10x more productive just to tie. If the US gov were smart, we would make it significantly easier for those with skills to immigrate, but unfortunately we seem to be set on doing the opposite.

On top of that, China is making smart educational choices like making basic comp-sci required. The US educational system is using decades old curriculum or just cancelling classes altogether.
The FTC gets another shot at that, and can probably prevail at this level in the next round.

Challenging the acquisitions, though, came too late.
I agree that there needs to be some way for identity to be strongly represented on the internet but there should be a way or places where it isn't required. This could be something that perhaps allows indemnity for user generated content as long as the content is attributed to a person otherwise the site is responsible. This would allow the small time cars forum to (with identity) operate safely as they do today, but would also allow 4chan to (anonymously) operate as long as they ensue the content wont get the website operator in trouble.

The other problem you run into is ease of use. Most users of the internet can't understand PKI based certificates so I don't know how an interface could look that would provide a strong guarantee of identity but also allows my mom to use it and not get phished.

Right, that's my understanding as well. There's actually _many_ different unemployment numbers, depending on what definition of employment vs not vs not even included that you want to use. The "unemployment number" without qualification we tend to use is (IMO) kind of crap, but we're stuck with it for tradition mostly as far as I can tell.

https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm seems to be the best resource I can find at the moment for the ones I'm thinking of, it doesn't really define them very exactly though. I'm sure they're defined _somewhere_.
