Thank you for the detailed reply. Sadly killing off Logic based AI isn't the only crime we can attribute to pencil pushers. But I had some intuition I wanted to ask about.

Can a sort of vaguely type theory based - and I mean like in the sense of programming be used to reason about law and the like?

Like suppose some article says a man should pay 20% income tax but it says in some other act of some other law that a man shall pay 30% income tax. Like obviously I'm just giving an example but I mean like long cryptic legalese busting. Can we detect contradictions or show that the law or agreement esp like say something like TPP or whatever is inconsistent, by defining types and transactions?

I'm sorry I couldn't word it better. But I hope you get a gist of what I'm saying.
Oof. How did the company cope?
So if their way of thinking is flawed (e.g. if their cognitive dissonance makes them refuse to accept actual facts, like the fact the world is a sphere), I should just leave it at that? Geez, at the end of the day that's what I mostly do anyway, but what a way to a fractured society.
While we're on shoutouts and recommendations, I've recently started playing with Wick Editor[0], which is a very good, simple, open source flash-style animation authoring tool. SVG import, mp4 and HTML5 export.

I'm intending to use it soon for some animations to communicate some concepts better over video. The only real limitation I've come across so far is a lack of shape tweening, which would be a very nice to have.

How best to put this… A lot of trolls aren’t that bright.

They use the cry-laughing emoji as a sign off, as if it settles things. i.e. like it’s hilarious that anyone could think differently to them.

They’re not looking for a conversation or to be swayed in anyway.

In such cases it’s never worth arguing with them. They drag you down to their level and beat you up with experience. :)

That's one solution to the problem of carbon/petrol taxes not being viable when cars run on batteries, but still use roads. You either maintain roads usning other tax revenue (meaning non-drivers are subsidizing drivers and there is no incentive to limit road use) or you find another way to fund road maintenance. This isn't exactly an authoritarian surprise nightmare, it's expected and natural.

It's totally possible for a game to be cracked to accept a fake licence key, yet still have connect to an update server or what have you. That way the publishers end up easily seeing the amount of copies in the wild vs actual sales.

Keygens tend to be based on the cracker reverse engineering the licence key check algorithm, and then just spitting out a bunch of keys that fit it. Most people will pick the first key the keygen creates, which makes it easy to track the pirated copies.

The only way around the wholesale pirating of games is to make the game totally nerfed unless it can connect to a 'server'. This is why most AAA games all have at least some level of online features.

The more heterogeneous a system is the better it scales. But errors spread fast as most of the system depends on a very small set of services.

When I was a kid, if one of the neighborhood shops had to close the rest were open. Only a power outage would make many shops stop operating, but many others will work on only-cash and it would be a minor inconvenience.

But this neighborhood shops could not operate at international level, nor make its owner the richest person on Earth.

In a not so distant future we are going to have to choose between mega-corporations that can crash the economy or smaller companies that are subject to the evolution pressure of capitalism.

I hope that taxation is increased globally. That would be the equivalent of reducing the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere. And as gigantic animals cannot live in a less oxygen-rich Earth, big corporations cannot live without tax-cuts and special deals with city governments.

In fact if this issue would have been handled by the normal procedure it might have be resolved with some punishment for the guy, but involving the big agency backfired.

>If you learn how to use photoshop then you’re unlikely to relearn GIMP.

We currently see something related to this in the Pharmaceutical industry. There are a lot of statisticians/programmers that learn R or python in university, while most large-pharma companies are using SAS. There is a movement within the industry to pivot or try to pivot to R due to the scarcity of SAS programmers or/and the cost of teaching new employees a new programming language.

If SAS would have more accessible trainings/certifications I am sure R would never even be considered.
I see if here a lot and I don't think it's the right mindset to think of some dichotomy of junior and senior developers (unless you truly are in some sort of apprenticeship program). Some of the poorest performing engineers I met at faang were high in level. You should act and carry yourself the same whether you're senior or junior in level.
I observed something related to what you've said.

In some casual/private Discord channels I frequent, there's usually a couple emojis that gets used a lot, that on its own have none or extremely ambiguous meaning.
For most of them, I find it almost impossible to describe the meaning in words, yet at the same time everyone understands and acknowledges that it is not superfluous / that it conveys something.

We talked about these emojis and the best description we could come up with was that these are filler emojis. The primary purpose is to de-escalate the seriousness tone of a message, which by default is pretty serious for text-based messages.
Think about how a message may come up as rude if it ends with a period (.) and without, then add another level after that; this is what the filler emoji does.

Aside from the seriousness de-escalation, we think it also helps with the tempo/pace of the conversation, similar to how in verbal conversation you pause/leave a gap when talking, as a cue for when other people can respond. The filler emoji here is that pause.

To (outside) observers unable to understand/confused by the meaning of the (singular) filler emoji, this can easily be seen as devolving the language, but I'd argue that it actually conveys something very complex extremely concisely with one emoji.
I haven't personally drawn a hard line in the question of whether or not IP law as a whole is good or bad. I hate to use this cop-out answer, but it depends.

I'm sorry for jacking your analogy, but I think it holds water. Diamonds are not inherently valuable (to the degree they are priced at retail). They are valuable because of an exploitative supply chain and social manipulation efforts spanning decades. Which does not justify robbing stores and potentially causing physical or mental harm to innocent shopkeepers. But very much justifies replicating the product to render those practices worthless and hopefully deter them from happening more.

The same goes for educational textbooks in many (but far from all) cases. Personally I've had professors who assigned their own books at very reasonable prices and apologize profusely for them costing money to begin with. I've had others who peddled their own expensive books while themselves handing out copies (!) of books by other authors. I wouldn't dream of pirating the former, but I'm pirating the shit out of the latter if I can.
> something along the lines of guided self-learning.

I don't know about the solution of this problem, but giving programming challenges to students (in groups of two) is extremely effective. Ideally, forcing the students to use a different language each time. The evaluation is automatic and both the correctness and the speed of the solution over large inputs need to be evaluated. I've seen groups of otherwise passive and uninterested students spent weekends working really hard on a problem to try to beat the challenge.
because it "just works"
It's the same with typical sales persons: Even though they constantly exaggerate, you want to believe (unless there's animosity). So you take it into account that they exaggerate, but not by as much as they do exaggerate. Which means it's still better for them to do it than not. At least that's my impression of these dynamics, would love good studies about it.
Great.
You need to use the paid sync option if you want full mobile funcitonality and also use the desktop apps. I guess icloud works if you are all apple only, but no E2E.

Another option on mobile is to use Ulysses to edit notes stored on whatever compatible sync service you are using, but you don't get the full Obsidian functionality (or E2E). If you mainly just type notes and don't do a lot of linking etc then it won't matter much.

The wiki article you linked to is a paragraph in an article about a novelist, not an article about widely-accepted term. And rightfully so.

Google Plus and Google Glass were big bets in my view.
That doesn't take away from Google being unscrupulous in ending unsuccessful offerings. That's part of what made them succesful, I assume.

Journalists often use hyperbole or simplify complex facts to deliver an interesting and easily understandable story.
That doesn't make every sinplification a gross misrepresentation.

You're free to dive deeper into any topic you want, but it's delusional to expect every reader to be an expert in every field.

Bashing journalism as a whole has become common gospel, but to me it seems that the effect of that thinking is not that people become better informed.

The article sounds Google-friendly and uncritical to me, but it's also very common to cover interviews in a way that represents the views of the interviewed person.
> Google is literally the only tech giant with an interest in the open internet.

This statement is an oxymoron.

"Tech giants" hobble the open principles of the internet by their own existence, persistence and, by-definition, over-bearing influence.

Any entity genuinely concerned with preserving open principles would seek to limit its growth far-prior to where Google is now, and eliminate the pervasiveness of its influence, favouring and encouraging the results of diverse decentralisation over narrow centralisation.

Google and Facebook are the antithesis of everything the concept of an open internet stands for.
It used to be that people using the Internet would realize, or were made to realize, that text communication lacks many of the non-verbal cues, so one should always try to avoid offending others, while when in doubt pick the least offending interpretation of what someone else has written.

Unfortunately, decades of eternal September seem to have washed many of those lessons away. With the rise of professional trolls, and the inherent instinct to make a scene of some, now we have people trying to offend on one side, and people trying to get offended on the other... while they're both trying to be the loudest and drown out everyone else.

You don't need emojis for that. Just good ol' emoticons.

I recognize what you mean about the office memos due to trivial misunderstandings (particularly tone misunderstandings) escalating. In my experience, almost all of them are the cases of someone erring on the side of seriousness. Myself, I mitigate that up front by judicious use of two emoticons: ":)" and ";)". The very act of using either of them, independent of the choice and context, already marks the whole sentence/paragraph/conversation as friendly.

Adding trees and rocketships and popcorns? Especially to either replace the exact word, or put it next to that word? What's the point?

(Ok, I'll admit I found two other emojis useful at work: thumbs-up and facepalm.)

Much like every other company, but at least I've see Google be mostly reasonable about it with a few exceptions. Much of the "deplatforming" isn't even do to Google per say but people abusing the copyright system on YouTube and many people not having adequate legal knowledge to defend themselves, or honestly just a lot of attention-seeking alt-right personality types constantly saying they are being deplatformed while they continue to use YouTube freely... Likely all one big part of a MCN pushing the same agenda.
The thing is punishment is not reinforcing behavior, it is prohibiting behavior.

Reinforcing means increasing the likelihood (by adding something liked or by removing something disliked) while punishment refers to reducing the likelihood (by adding something disliked or removing something liked).

If you look at it from a logical point of view both reinforcing stimuli are positive (in the sense of good for the subject, i.e. directly good or not bad) while punishing stimuli are both negative for the subject (in the sense of bad for the subject, i.e. directly bad or not good).

The language problem and common mistake comes from the usage of positive and negative with a different meaning from the usual meaning in the context of behavior. Thinking of it like additive and subtractive is more helpful. But making the meaning of reinforcement less specific isn't really helpful.

> Using sockets in a synchronous fashion is one way to block for an indefinite period of time.

I'm not saying to use sockets in a synchronous fashion (i.e. blocking I/O). That would, of course, potentially block the thread indefinitely.

"Plain, simple, procedural" does not imply "blocking I/O". What I mean is to use no fancy types, no callbacks, no crazy automatic scheduling magic. Very simply, there is nothing special required to handle events. Just a buffer.
Yeah, I don't get it either. I always thought it was a pretty questionable idea that they have completely unprotected computers that they let anyone just walk in and use. I wonder if that's still the case.

When you implicitly suggest "do whatever you want on these computers" (by having zero security or limited features whatsoever, nor any verbal or written ToS or even vaguely-suggested "house rules"), and let someone download and install software on every computer in the store (?!??), I don't see how they can later turn around and say "hey, but not that like that!" and call the Secret Service.
