As much as I agree with you, this should only give us more reasons to not let this happen. And more importantly people like Bezos should not be made idols. People should vocally complain what is wrong with this like many colonial nations complain (and I wholeheartedly support that).

But I agree, learning takes time.

Wow, another dumb article with dumb non-fixes. Those iPhone touch problems are usually a problem with the hardware (sensors, etc) and reinstalling / deleting apps or the system does nothing.

This is just like those Apple Support Forum replies that are just copypasta of non-related generic troubleshooting steps.
You know you can talk about things in the world without using deductive reasoning? Jeez...

I think if you're getting your knowledge of world events from a goddamn Seth McFarlane show you're out of your mind.
That's not my experience at all. To be fair, I've never solved the Riemann Hypothesis, but in my experience it is possible to find professional academic mathematicians who were willing to meet me (as an outsider) to discuss their work and my ideas in a serious way.

Obviously, you have to bear in mind that high-profile mathematicians do get contacted by cranks and they have to weigh up what's worth spending their time on, but I have no doubt that if I did chance upon a genuine proof of the Riemann Hypothesis, I'd be able to find a decently respected mathematician to look at it and help me to publish it in a form acceptable to the academic community.

On the other hand, I agree with your comment about formal proof systems, and I'd love to use them in my (pure mathematical) research, but I've found the usability isn't there for me yet.
Late, but in my opinion, cities should bid for multiple Olympics, not a single one. This way, stadiums are also reused, and athletes of the host country get world class facilities which are not thrown into disuse after the Olympics
Everything could be worse, but let's not be blind to the problems we face here in the EU.

First of which, if your rights are being infringed, then you have to wait for years and years to be able to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights, only after all of your national appeals have been depleted. Which, when you know how national governments can destroy you trough legal proceedings (eg. Aaron Swartz, physical/psychological torture by police/prison, etc) is a HUGE problem.

The truth is there's no place for human dignity anywhere in the industrial capitalist civilization, because it's all about profits. Remember the Aquarius? European governments were competing in cruelty, refusing to welcome these refugees. At one point, a french-colonized island (Corsica) proposed to receive them... which the national government denied.

Or take a look at police abuse cases. How many people have to die or lose an eye before we acknowledge the police is a terrorist organization and needs to be treated as such? TRIGGER WARNING: this is just from the gilets jaunes protests, there's a lot more injuries/deaths due to "non-lethal weapons" -> http://lemurjaune.fr/

Lately, the French government has renewed its tradition to persecute anarchists (in the 19th century, anarchism became illegal and the ancestor of Interpol was founded to repress anarchism) and keeps on rounding up more people for "criminal organizations with a terrorist purpose" (association de malfaiteurs à caractère terroriste). This happened in anti-nuclear struggles in Bure as well as for spraypaint in Toulouse (though not with the terrorist label), in anti-GSM struggles in the plateau des Mille-Vaches, but also against activists who are not accused of anything beyond thought crimes (the 8th of december arrestees), one of which is being held in solitary confinement since early december as psychological torture in an attempt to break him down before trial.

No, human rights are never compatible with a Nation State. Because a Nation State is a construct based on violence and exploitation. In my humble opinion, we should burn all States and corporations if we want a tiny chance to live free. But since today is french national day, let's take a minute to remember that this day celebrates July 14th 1789 when armed peasants took the Bastille prison by force and liberating everyone, marking the start of the revolution. Kissing the arse of the french army's défilé is an insult to the french revolution. Admittedly, all of France is an insult to the french revolution and its ideals of freedom, equality and siblinghood. Nique la France! Feu aux prisons!

Reading this, I'm so glad that in all of the EU it is illegal to fire someone purely based on a software decision. There's a minimum level of humanity that we should extend to everyone. Letting a known faulty AI decide if someone will have money for food tomorrow is way across the line.

I'm not surprised that treating humans like cattle on their way to slaughter is hugely profitable. But I'm not sure we want to operate large companies like WW2 prisoner camps. Even if you truly don't care about the poor souls who have to work there, the people who turn insane from this treatment will still live in your country and maybe their kids will meet your kids in school and "educate" them on the cruelty of life.

It's best not to push anyone down the mental abyss in the first place. And yet, here we (software developers) are, developing new monitoring and automation systems and deciding to delete someone's entire online life (Google account) without any oversight (AI) in the name of "efficiency" (higher profits for shareholders that we never met and never will).
About Color
I assume you're diving things into "from logic" or "from nature". However that's a highly misleading (if not false) dichotomy.

"Logic" refers to the most basic set of logical operations (AND, OR, etc.) and their use. Pi does not come from this.

It comes from Mathematics. If we define World to be "a set of true claims" then we can define worlds without any mathematical claims in; however the process of defining the world likely requires logic. (And so Mathematics != Logic).

In any case, as the article shows, the definition of Pi is relative to a distance metric. "Pi = Circ/Diam" which is ill-defined.

One can construct a World (as defined above) which admits only claims relative to a given distance metric ("A Taxi-Cab World"). At this world, "Pi" has a different value.

It isn't also clear that the value of "Pi" here is given purely by mathematics. As its value is relative to a distance metric, and we choose that metric for empirical reasons ("it applies to our world").
Wow, that’s on purpose?
The "legitimate interests" clause is broad enough that it can probably be bent for that, but I reckon it would boil down to the interpretation of the "no signatures" clause:

> (9) A notice under this section shall not require the disclosure of any key which-

> (a) is intended to be used for the purpose only of generating electronic signatures; and

> (b) has not in fact been used for any other purpose.

I'm not versed in bitcoin enough to judge if wallet data protected by that password is used only for signing. This clause seems largely meant to avoid the possibility that authorities will impersonate a user after forcing him to hand over his key.
Yes, I totally agree. I much prefer touchbar volume slider to physical keys, because you get near-instant granular level selection over large range as opposed to multiple key presses required with courser increments to move to a certain level.

I probably use this feature 10-20 times a day, and it would be a noticeable irritation for me if it was key based. I am disappointed they're dropping the touchbar in upcoming M1x/M2 macbooks, I would definitely have preferred a touchbar. Apple, are you seeing this?
I am curious about this. Are Amazon's practices uniquely brutal or is it just brutal at scale while nobody can name Joe's Logistics and thus if they pee in bottles, nobody knows?

The risk Bank of England doesn't like comes with the territory, and everybody who uses public cloud is subject to it. The only difference is that smaller companies don't have a big megaphone or the clout that they have, and must either accept the terms and shut up or find an alternate solution. If Bank of England wants to use their power constructively, they can literally go shopping for data center and IT companies to serve their needs.
A radical thought: If i have the alternative to work for an dystopian megacorp or starve to death... why then not choose the third option: Go to jail while causing as much damage as possible?

yes, this is driving me nuts. I regularly have to merge 3-4 pull requests and it's taking over a minute for each. This used to be a few clicks and now it's a 5-10 minute job making sure everything has merged correctly. Then you go and merge dev into a feature branch and have to wait another minute.

I cannot believe this isn't a priority at Bitbucket and we're being told to get used to it and that the UI will hide it. I've been putting off migrating to Github because we use a lot of integrations, but Bitbucket has suddenly become a pain point where it was okay before.

I think the disentanglement is fairly simple.

If you want to improve conditions for workers, just say that you want to improve pay / $hr, increase break time by x min, and define xyz working conditions and have a detailed plan to support that. I've personally seen 0 unions pursue this approach... but have seen plenty advocate support for completely unrelated, purely political topics (e.g. voicing support for Palestine)
> Reading this, I'm so glad that in all of the EU it is illegal to fire someone purely based on a software decision.

Why do people treat working for a company as something different from selling any other services or goods? If there was a law that limited your ability to cancel a gym membership or going to a different supermarket, you would rightfully object — it's not a government's business to get involved in your voluntary business transactions. Why treat a company that hires workers differently?
1 hour unlimited participants group video call is fair. Google is a business and Meet must justify it's investment.

While Parler is somewhat irrelevant and the likelihood of any bank being taken down for similar reasons as Parler, it isn't completely incomprehensible.

There have been many horror stories of businesses being banned, blocked, or messed around by Google and Amazon. Their policy does not protect anyone but themselves. It is within the realms of reality for bank to be taken down by them in a matter of days.
How people are treated in practice is a matter of power balance between the people/workers and the exploiters. What is written in a book of law matters very little. The rule of law is a cynical joke reserved to people who can pay million-dollar lawyers. For the rest of us, only raw force and humiliation by police/tribunals exist and the law is a farce.

Those in power who commit crimes will usually never spend a single day in prison, and when they exceptionally do they get built a special-purpose luxury cell which has nothing to do with prison. The rest of us get tortured and imprisoned because of fake police testimonies.

The situation is not as bad here in France as it is in Belarus/China/USA/Colombia, but it's certainly not as good as human rights declaration imply. If only human rights declarations were respected, then we would have a decent life and nobody would struggle for basic survival (food & housing). Unfortunately, we all know how it goes in the 5th richest nation in the world with 10% of the population living under the poverty line.
I never understood these communist type articles.

If you don't like Amazon or what they are doing to their workers, don't shop on Amazon.

If you think working for Amazon is bad, don't work for Amazon.

If you want to live in a communist society, go and live in Venezuela or Cuba.

How are unions not inherently political? I also don't consider that a bad thing. If labour laws are going to be improved (in favor of the worker) you need to organise and negotiate and vote together and unions are an excellent way to do that. What exactly would a strictly "economic relationship" look like?
I've asked my son (13) nicely to stop playing games but he just won't listen. I even tried to ground him yesterday but he easily overpowered me and threatened me. I don't know what to do. I fear he will only get stronger and more defiant and something bad will happen to me.
> But the EU is a big place and people are free to pick which country they live in.

There are limits though.

You have a 3 months period where you can stay in another UE country then the national authorities can ask for your leaving. There are statuses that allows you to stay longer (work, studies, retirement, etc.) but those statuses have requirements and obligations. You can't take your tent, set it up somewhere in another country and declare you live there without some fiscal authorities coming for you at some point.

If I understand correctly you are free to move from and to any states (notwithstanding court orders) in the US .
Your limited ability to cancel a gym membership is an important part of any gym's business model, at least where I live: it bets on people's impulse decision (say, at the beginning of a new year) to get in shape, a desire which often tapers off after a few weeks or months. But if your gym contract has a minimum duration of, say, two years, whether you go there or not, you pay.
Since it doesn't relate at all, why even add the negativity?

"Here's a crazy idea ... This are the properties for why it works ..." Would have sounded much better.
I'd agree with you if joining the union is voluntary. But it isn't. It's determined by a vote, which is not the same thing as individual choice.

It's also not voluntary when there's a law that says one cannot work in a particular profession without joining the union.

How to Improve Cold Email Deliverability
> I think security prompts, viewed as interruptions, are a consequence of the Apple-owns-everything model.

No. It's a consequence of finding a balance between a usable system and the fact that people are shit.

From the start iOS was very limited as to what apps could access. Funnily enough, the Android crowd derided it for this. "What, no file system access, ahahaha".

And a user's usage scenario isn't "I open photos and and decide to share one with an app". The usage is "I open an app and want to select an unlimited random number of photos and videos to share with my friends in this app".

So the usability/permissions tradeoff was: an app sees nothing outside the sandbox, but can request access to a limited number of other system-defined sandboxes: photos, camera, microphone, location etc.

Guess what. People are shit. So they decided that unlimited access to photos is so very nice, and could be abused.

So the new permissions in iOS let you limit access even further: you select which photos an app has access to, and it only has access to those. Because what users want hasn't changed: they don't share photos with an app, they use an app to share photos.

The result is significantly more cumbersome than before and there's literally no way around it. It has nothing to do with "being Apple-owned". If you limit access, you will end up with security prompts and popups, access management dialogs etc.

> The same for location, for instance: it would be a resource that the app requires and the user chooses to give the current location or the spoofed location or cancel the action.

This is literally what iOS does. However, when iOS does it, suddenly it's "security prompts, viewed as interruptions, are a consequence of the Apple-owns-everything model"
Which are these "many states" other than Poland and Hungary?

It's not like Poland and Hungary are doing so without any kind of repercussions from EU.
"If you don't like what Hitler is doing, just ignore he's murdering millions of people".

No thanks, i'd rather organize to have this guy killed to restore just a tiny little bit of justice on earth.

You obviously have a very privileged position where you don't NEED TO work for Amazon. Lots of people are in a different position and i hope you appreciate that.

Also, you obviously have no idea about the rich history of communism. Cuba and Venezuela can hardly be described as communist ; i'll refer to Emma Goldman on describing what is or isn't communism beyond the labels: https://infokiosques.net/IMG/pdf/there_is_no_communism_in_ru...

They're registered as a separate window on Windows too. When I alt-tab, I frequently end up in the notification window.

My main question is, why are people still doing desktop apps in JS? (Yes, I know, cross-platform... There are other ways to do that.) They always end up breaking with the native UI conventions on the host OS, and they're stupidly resource hungry.
I think it is The Mirror
The way it is commonly seen is that workers deserve special protection through the law to make up for the inherent power imbalance between those who employ and those who are employed.

I would have preferred EU to have stayed purely economic bloc without Brussels ideology and bureaucracy. Make sure that capital, people and goods move without too much friction and the rest will sort itself out in couple of generations.
I am a fan of Amazon's digital products and devices (the Kindle e-reader, Fire TV), but have noticed I buy fewer and fewer physical products from Amazon.

This is in part, because of ideological reasons, but also because other online shops offer a better service than Amazon, and are also reasonably priced.

In particular, I dislike that it seems to me more and more products are sold by third party sellers. I don't mind paying a bit extra from a retailer with a good reputation in my own country. I don't want to have to deal with a seller who is based in the other side of the world.

Recently I made a large order of cycling gear from a specialist shop. I couldn't imagine buying it from Amazon, as I would be concerned some would be counterfeit, or only be available if it came from about 5 different sellers, all dispatching at different times.
This is good. It's a sign that Google is actually moving Meet towards a sustainable business model.

"Wouldn't it be great if, instead of collecting shields, HATs, PMODs, Clicks, Booster Packs, Props... you could have a cross-compatible platform? Something that doesn't force you into one chipset? and allows you to mix-and-match the microcontroller, wireless protocol, and functional extensions?

Yeah, me too! That's why I created Feather. Feather is a flexible and powerful family of microcontroller main-boards (Feathers) and daughter-boards (Wings) with a wide range of capabilities."
