> They've also dramatically increased the proportion and intrusiveness of those ads over the last year, taking advantage of a near-monopoly position and a captive audience.

Agreed.

But they didn’t do this until after providing you with the option to pay for ad-free.

If ads bother you that much really, just put up and pay for it. Your problem will be solved across all your machines, devices, phones, tablets and TVs in less than a minute.
This is what Guido Fawkes ("order order") does. They are extremely right wing and hysterically anti-EU. Wait until a real outlet covers it.
Not quite: Yes, there was the Gold Standard. But the government set the price of gold. Meaning the government still controlled the amount of money, because they controlled the price of gold.
Where do you get the idea that renewables are expensive energy? Utility scale onshore wind and solar PV are the cheapest form of generation[1] by a long shot.

And because of this, 90% of the global electricity generation capacity added in 2020 was renewable. There wasn't a single coal burning power plant built in the US last year, despite political support for coal - it's just too uneconomic. This isn't coercion, taxes or anything - it's simple economics and it's happening everywhere - developed and developing countries.

Using old/outdated technology doesn't fuel growth in developing countries. Just because the industrial revolution in the west was powered by coal and steam engines, doesn't mean it makes any sense for a modern developing country to start building steam engines to power a manufacturing base.

Well... I like the beamed energy idea. It works to get you out of the solar system. But how do you continue to accelerate from other stars? You fire ahead of you a construction kit for a solar-powered beam-generating station. That beam station can be used either for acceleration or for braking.

But how do you get the kit to decelerate? (Remember, you fired it ahead of the ship.) And this problem gets worse as the velocity of the ship goes up. If, say, your construction kit enters a solar system at 0.1 c, it's going to cross it in maybe twenty days. I don't think that's enough time for a solar sail to effectively decelerate it. It's probably going too fast for using planets' gravity to slow it down. And using atmospheric drag is an explosively bad idea.

I don't have an answer...
Given Porsche's large stake in Rimac, and Porsche also being one of the larger stakeholders in Bugatti this point (which makes sense, given it was a Piech pet project) this makes a lot of sense.

Rimac + Porsche heading VW Group's leading edge of EV power train development will keep things mighty interesting.

It's still primarily a vehicle in which to help offset some of the crazy R&D costs of letting engineers go nuts with battery, EV power train, and materials/composites development. Some of it will feed back into motorsports (and vice versa), and VW gets to keep an old prestige brand around.
> The more likely they are to conclide that this is a mugs game

This is one of the primary reasons I'm a pure libertarian. The more in depth research I did, the more I found it's nothing but a rigged game.

It truly is like the joke that's along the lines of:

"What's the difference between the government and the mob?"

"The mob didn't get 12,000 hours of schooling to convince you it's necessary."

Private jets are completely irrelevant to global warming because there are not enough of them.

They’re a convenient distraction from the problem that actually curbing global warming will require huge changes in the lifestyle of the global middle class. Not just the super-rich.
> Copilot should be inspiring people to figure out how to do better than it, not making hackers get up in arms trying to slap it down.

One of the (many) problems is that GitHub/Microsoft already benefit from runaway network effects so it’s difficult to “do better”. Where will you get all of that training code if not off GitHub?

The real answer to this is to yank your projects from GitHub now while you search for alternatives.
My understanding is that the median condo in Singapore costs $1M USD. Is this not true, and if it is, then how is $1M USD for a condo considered cheap?

You can get condos next to The Four Seasons in Beverly Hills for that price...
Go to eBay, likely a surplus of these Pixel 4a devices with ArcaneOS.
Me dumping a bunch of tyres into a nearby river would be absolutely negligible compared to global pollution, yes it's still not allowed. A single private jet flight is incredibly polluting yet we allow it to be exempt from pollution tax because......on a grand scale it's nothing? Hmmmmmmm.
There is a tool called wings iirc that lets you pull out DataFrames from an xlsx and vice versa
I'm more surprised that people don't care about the telemetry aspect. It's an extension that sends your code to an MS service, and MS promises access is on a need-to-know basis.

I don't care if MS copies my hobby projects exactly, but I'm not sure my employer(defense contractor) would even be allowed to use a tool like this.

I think it looks cool though. I will probably try it out if it is ever available for free and works for the languages I use.

I think that every country deserves a fair opportunity to grow with cheap energy. We took advantage of it, and in the process we created huge externalities. We should clean after our mess first and then try to lecture the developing countries.
Machine and abstract machine are both overloaded terms. If the set of system calls is considered the “ops” for your OS “machine”, characterizing it as an abstract machine is not incorrect.

You made the unsubstantiated assertion that no one wants non-custodial financial services.
It actually wouldn't change much at all. Every MMA fighter already instinctively protects their head which includes eyes. Finger locks are laughable in an actual a fight. I know a person who (I think stupidly), refused to tap to an ankle lock in a BJJ match, broke his ankle, but did win the fight. No finger lock was stopping him.

I guess someone could try to kick someone's groin and maybe get one through. An MMA fighter is already trained to check kicks down so again unlikely. And if you think someone is going to drop their hands to get to someone's groin...ok.

The reality is BJJ and MMA is basically how most street fight/self-defense situations go down. Untrained people wildly throw some punches and end up on the ground.

The only caveat, which every grapplers knows, is pulling guard is a competition only thing. In a 'real' fight you never want to be on the bottom.
It isn't the case they are more expensive than taxi's where I am. I take it now that isn't the case everywhere. And even in in the SF area I don't believe that taxi's would be cheaper if you lived slightly out of the core areas and had to call one to drive out to you.

I am also still extremely skeptical they contribute to higher prices though. If Uber and Lyft did not exist I believe (just a theory) that taxi prices would be much higher.

Perhaps someone who lives in a city where ubers are banned could state if taxi prices have grown over the years.
It doesn't really matter if currency is pegged to the price of gold when the government determines what that price is.

We should just take it at face value: make Juul a medical product that you need to get prescribed to get away from cigarettes.
Using a broker to find an apartment to rent is a very alien thought to me but I guess I've only ever really rented in big apartment complexes. I would normally just browse the area I wanted to live in on Google/Bing maps, find a few places that looked interesting, see floorplans on their websites. Take the top few of those and spend a Saturday driving to each of those to check them out. I guess if I was trying to find a place with a lot of independently owned apartment units you'd need a broker to find stuff, but really it seems like something that doesn't need a broker getting paid several hundred dollars for an evening and a day of inconvenience of shopping around. I mean, you're probably going to spend that Saturday viewing the apartments anyways, now you just have someone you're paying to join you.

Lease contracts in my state are pretty much entirely standardized. Pretty much every place uses the same lease that has a bunch of fill in the blanks for amounts, unit numbers, etc. There's not a lot of additional forms to be filed. When I bought a house I was happy to have a real estate agent with me as there were a lot of forms, several different 3rd parties to deal with, much more risk, and the whole process was a lot longer. Plus you pretty much need an agent to get in to the more accurate MLS listings. There would be so many homes still listed as for sale on sites like Zillow and others that were already sold while the MLS listings were usually up to date within several hours.

Yeah I guess rent control is bad enough in the US that not having a lease could be worse.

I think product manager is a very important role. But I'm yet to see a product manager that respects the craft/skill or even spends any effort to understand what's entailed. Most are shoot-an-email-assign-on-jira-and-call-it-a-day type. Nothing more depressing than getting a condescending "good job!" from an oily haired zoro for making a menu bigger and not getting any recognition for lowering server costs 50%. This is not an exaggeration, there are many many stories like that or even worse. I've heard developers described as plumbers even from people who work in highly respected and big companies. There's nothing wrong with plumbers, but it's just to show how they think about what we do.
Regulation makes sense, as it will allow it to become mainstream. Also a lot more clarification and guidelines needed around taxation with DeFi and related products - government really has to do tremendous catch up.
I don't understand people who think that, at hundreds or thousands of municipal and state levels, political leaders were secretly in meetings with robes nodding excitedly over the opportunity to oppress the masses. Or that an unknown, highly contagious respiratory disease causing hospitals to overflow with no vaccine available didn't warrant some kind of mandates against public interactions.

It boggles my mind what kind of conspiratorial, Truman-Show-like mentality people must have to find bad faith so common in life.

It is the party of those in America who were against lockdowns, masks, vaccines, or any kind of precautions who are also against any kind of regulations or limits on the causes of obesity or climate change or pollution. So your comment about "why do 'they' care about the virus but not pollution" is moot.
Here's an interview I did with National Review where I discussed this topic. I'll include the exercpt that applies to your concern below. https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/07/a-computer-repair-exp...

"So one example of what Right to Repair is not: The European Union, I believe, was looking to mandate that Apple use USB-C instead of Lightning, because USB-C is a standard and Lightning is not a standard. I don’t want people to think that has anything to do with Right to Repair because it doesn’t; that’s completely separate. I’m not looking to tell Apple, “You need to use this type of charge port. I want you to use micro USB. I want you to use USB-C. I want you to use this.” No, what we’re saying is, regardless of what you use to charge your phone — you could use a banana to charge it — just give us access to be able to purchase that charge port so that if the charge port in the phone breaks, we can fix it for customers rather than tell them, “Your phone is now a brick.” So I think that is a good example of what Right to Repair is not: We’re not looking to say, “You need to use this port. You need to do this.” Just don’t intentionally lock people out of the ability to fix it once you’ve chosen how to design it."

-------

Right to repair has a fine handle on what is being advocated for, and it is spelled out in the legislation. I don't think people read it though. In the EU, it is different than in the US. I do not support legislation that forces design choices on modularity or using specific ports. That's EU Right to Repair, but I have no business on that since I don't live there.

US right to repair is about making things available. Use microUSB, USB-C, mini-usb, parallel port.. so long as it's made available for purchase to repair shops/users.
Yes, the medallion crash.... because medallions were a political "tool" which controlled supply, making them artificially way more valuable than they otherwise should have been.
Either way the renter is paying the cost and the landlord is losing a chunk of the spread.

It’s no different than the ridiculous notion that “the seller pays broker’s commission”. It’s baked into the price and the buyer is still paying it, otherwise a home would cost X% less.

We know that won’t happen. This is my point. It is not a healthy, free market for labor. The retirees have the political power. Enough people poor enough to pick up the slack will always be available.
> I've looked into it, and the only buzz seems to be coming from the project core team patting themselves on the back with paid PR releases that overstate their "significant partnerships", bots, and people who want to retire off its "holder incentives". There is notably no buzz from actual developers or similarly credible people.

None of the evidence in that whitepaper shows that they were targeting kids. They were targeting millennials (ages 24-40 now), like most other products out there today. Once they caught the attention of the media and anti-smoking groups, they made changes to lay low and actively avoid many of the usual advertising channels and approaches.

Minimalist design, tasty flavors, colorful ads, and using social media does not equate to targeting kids.

The kids aren't getting hooked on Juuls because of advertising. They're getting hooked on them because they give you a buzz and are convenient.

> There's a lot of lament that this bypasses the operating system level config, but I feel like we wouldn't be here if the operating system had stepped up their DNS any time in the last several years.

OSes are relegated to support myriad environments with adhoc yet byzantine configuration. A browser's primary objective is to be a "user-agent" (as opposed to, say, subscribing to the whims of ISPs / Governments / anti-digital-rights-companies-masking-as-cyber-security-firms).

> For the techie user who's running PiHole or some custom local DNS, yeah this will be annoying, but for the average user who's just delegating to their ISP that is then tracking their DNS lookups and injecting ads if they mistype a domain, this is a win.

Internet censorship, which most of the population in the West isn't subject to or even aware of, is the primary reason DoH-in-a-browser is widely lauded. It just works, and thwarts all cheaper attempts at surveillance and censorship. Though, the likely effect would be, deep-packet-inspection becomes common place, but the imminent ESNI standard has that one covered, too.

As someone who builds and maintains an open-source DoH resolver, I have come to fully appreciate the control and power a resolver running over HTTP/S puts in the hands of the users, both in the client and on the resolver-side.
Flights from Paris to Munich are also irrelevant to global warming in isolation, but they don't get a special tax cutout.
I don't have a reference for you, but when I last researched this the answer was "yes".

Now, that of course doesn't apply if a copyright holder is claiming your ad revenue. But my researched back then is that yes, it does mean you still get paid for "advertiser-unfriendly" content.
This is a super important point. We as users control how we are treated on the Internet. We can choose to pay for content, or we can choose to exchange our time, data, buying habits, psychographics, etc, etc, etc in return for "free" services.

The choice is ours...Pay or barter? Barter our time watching ads, or pay money that we earned elsewhere.

I would love a carbon tax but if that existed I don't see how you can blame Uber for making society worse. In additions to all the economic gains you talk about it has saved thousands of lives a year due to less drunk driving. Additionally, it has enabled millions of people in cities to skip buying a new car/any car which saves tons of emissions.

More predictable as in you know the fair before you get in. I did have to take a taxi in Los Angeles from the airport earlier this year and the guy wouldn't tell me how much it would cost. Gave me a ballpark that was $22 less than what it ended up being.

Privacy concerns may prevent that. If not, it's a prime candidate for a paywall.

> no bait and switch of "that unit just got taken buuuuuuuuuuuttttt i have this crappy one that is still available just for you!

You're joking, right?

On-line services literally live by that. They've perfected it, refined it to the level of art. Only the best US used car salesmen can get close to pulling shenanigans the large on-line hotel and vacation booking services pull.

> the fee they charge will be less than brokers.

The fee will be whatever they say it will be. The more centralized the market will get - and this is what happens when things get handled by tech companies - the higher the fees are likely to be.

> no way would someone handover a month's rent to some company who's only interaction with you is via chatbot

People will pay if the service is good enough, for the same reason they pay brokers today. Many have more money than free time in their lives; one month's rent isn't much if it cuts out most of the bullshit that's involved in finding a place to rent.
