Sorry, I didn't mean to sound defeatist, I meant "we're too late" in the sense that the damages are already here, so now we're not merely talking about just the cost of prevention anymore, but also about the cost of a cure on top of it.
We can do it today on patent-unencumbered technology.
A few interesting points:

- Rust is now more popular than Scala as a primary language

- No mention of Clojure in "primary programming languages", no F# either.

- MacOS is the least used development environment between the big 3.

- France uses PHP the most. That's something I always believed, but it's nice to have data on it.

- 47% of respondants cook for themselves. I'd like to see a breakdown by country of this one.

Please tell me this is supposed to be a joke and that you don't seriously think this, given the ocean of literal video evidence out there.
Apologies for off-topic but are you the one who “records as they always do in Nashville, Tennessee”? If so, I want to say thanks so much for your videos - they have been an amazing source of entertainment during my teenage years.
Please tell me why a private company should be forced to host content that they fundamentally disagree with.

Why should Google be forced, legally, to carry Chinese state propaganda, for example? Why should Google be forced, legally, to carry ISIS propaganda?

There are alternatives to Google. They should host that content there
What has to be "standard"? The application itself or its UX? I'm pretty sure it's the latter, so all it takes is a familiar UI and low-friction approach. You don't have to be a world famous brand for people to be able to use it.
Is this part of the general push by the White House to censor such content across all communication channels? I know Biden was going to push telecoms to monitor and I think even censor text messages that spread anything about COVID that doesn't agree with the official narrative.
It will change nothing. Google has too much money. Getting away from its services is the right thing to do though.
Stories like these are nightmare fuel. Hope he's doing well, now.
100%. we had a tight knit community and no one would dare do an airbnb. but once they got a foothold, and airbnb lawyers started threatening our council (or buying them) we know have 12 in a 2 block radius, direct home sales to out of town investors making airbnb (aka hotels). we lost the battle as the community is now not tight knit, and more people selling to leave
When Apple launched the 5th Generation Time Capsule in 2013, it was a 802.11ac Router with 3TB of HDD for $399.

8 years later a 4TB HDD still cost about $100. And reliability has dropped.

A lot of my friends simply have a USB Portable HDD as Backup ( more like storage ). Their idea is that it is safer on a HDD than it is on their Phone which constantly run out of space. I keep telling my friends, to have multiple copies. I cant explain bit rot, HDD failure, crappy USB power supply, or all other major fuckery that could happen. And not everyone "likes" the cloud. And not everyone are comfortable with "subscriptions". And no one wants to understand why they need to pay more for a BTRFS NAS that offer some form of Bit-rot Protection and redundancy.

And whenever these thing are discussed you have another camp, the nerds, who keep telling normal user about rsync or 3-2-1 backup strategy.

There is a need for a simple easy to use system. Apple could have had a Time Capsule for iOS and could offer iCloud Backup Restore as extra option for additional piece of mind. But of course, that doesn't sit well with their services strategy.
with known criminal background? That is my point - without State Department waiving such requirement and issuing GC/witness protection the Ivan would be easy reachable for FSB in any other country.
Your own example used the word "alphabetical." So your example is false because it uses a "particular" encoding.

Try to select an algorithm out of the set of all algorithms without using an encoding. If you must use an encoding, please ensure that it's not a "particular" encoding.

You can't.

The point is all encodings in the known universe are "particular."

Additionally, to even use an encoding you have to *select* and encoding from the set of all encodings.
There is a distinction between discussing a theory, and presenting it as the truth with no evidence.

Not a distinction I imagine automated moderation systems are going to manage well, of course, but it exists.
There's a book called "Skunk Works" by Ben Rich about the making of different spy planes. There's some mentions in the book about satellites and what existed at the time how projects were carried out.
You need to remember that people actually wanted Google and tech companies to be arbiters of truth and moderate content. This is what people asked for, so the real issue probably has to do with why people are comfortable with giving this amount of power to companies like Google in the first place.
> Japan for example has many apartments for sale that there is no indoors shared space, all doors open to to air, this is a huge cost savings. Those type of buildings aren't build in the US.

Most of the new apartments I have been in in the South Bay are built like this, maybe with some indoor common area somewhere, but the corridors are essentially outside, like you say.

And Santa Clara and Sunnyvale are full of 2 story 16 or 20 unit apartment buildings from the 60s (u shaped, surrounding a courtyard, sometimes with small pool) and everyone’s door goes directly outside.
But I think we need to examine both sides of this.

When the American concept of free speech was coined, it was valuable because you could go stand in a government owned square and communicate your message for free. It was a good balance between not forcing private companies to accept speech but still allowing the speech to happen.

Online we don't have the concept of a government run square, and so your speech can be totally stifled by private companies.

But the difference is that when you're standing in the town square shouting nonsense, your reach is constrained, your ability to reproduce your speech is low (you have to just stand there and keep shouting) and everyone knows who you are. Damaging speech just can't be that damaging. Online is totally different.

I think the argument of "Google can't censor you, only the government can" is not great because there's no gov't equivalent of the town square. But I don't think the answer is just "make Google accept all speech" or "create a gov't equivalent of the town square" is necessarily the answer either. I think we should be starting from first principles and understand what free speech is trying to accomplish and come up with a framework that helps us accomplish it.

> true consumer BCI does require an implant.

Good luck convincing millions of people getting a brain implant.
I think you are equivocating. I don’t oppose the distribution of any other opinion. I don’t like those opinions, but I’m not trying to make it harder for anyone to say them. And trying to change someone’s mind about it is not at all the same as “opposing distribution” regardless of whether it has the same intent or potential effect.
They probably knew some people wouldn't like it, which is exactly why they used it, because look at all the free publicity they're getting now.
Nifty, censorship built right into office tools now too. It's so great my word processor and my spreadsheet app can police my thoughts now too.

Maybe they'll be able to use AI at some point and just detect when I'm writing the wrong combination of words together and preemptively block me from even writing things.
we could get a lot closer if markets were well-regulated for fairness and competitiveness. instead, we get all sorts of distortions, some well-meaning but most not. one sign of a good market dynamic is a lot of medium-sized companies, rather than very large or very small, because that means the companies have taken advantage of economies of scale but no one firm has outsized advantage, so all must still compete.

to that end, google, facebook, et al. should each probably be split up into dozens of companies to start, with stong privacy, portability and interoperability standards/mandates at minimum.
Yes, this is really bizarre. I get this kind of policy for some kinds of platforms, but not Drive, Docs, Sheets, Slides, and Forms. Those are my documents, and I should be free to put whatever I want in them.

I also wonder how much control Google has over data stored on a Chromebook?

Do they apply ownership to the data on your physical storage device?
If I had to guess why you had issues, the app probably had certificate pinning. Apple makes it pretty easy to pin domains, but it's also not too difficult to circumvent it.

Cool response. In your opinion, what advantage does Macports offer over homebrew? I'll admit When I read tutorials on new frameworks, tools, etc, they almost always assume everyone uses homebrew. So (perhaps lazily) I just did the same.

>And then something happened. The same Jim Crow, segregationist Democrat party went through deep structural change and pushed through the Voting Rights Act, Civil Rights Act, Immigration Naturalization Act.

You're so close to getting it, almost there! This is /r/selfawarewolves level stuff.

>You’re under the impression there were 2 political parties.

It's not an impression, it's an objective fact. "Southern Democrats" we're not a separate party. LBJ, Carter, Clinton, Gore, etc. are Southern Democrats. Were they in a separate party? No.

>Those southern democrats (Dixiecrats) left the Democratic Party and became southern Republicans.

Hilariously wrong. Dixiecrats were a party for less than a year, and merged back into the Democratic Party

>So, the party of Jim Crow is now Republican.

Wrong, it was, and is, the Democratic Party.

You need to pick up a history book, you're hilariously just delusionally inventing things that make you feel good because you're uneducated.

The other piece is the cost of child care, if child care is too expensive it would cost more for a spouse to take a job than be the stay at home child caretaker.
What I'm suggesting is that neither I or large corporations are capable of making that distinction. Nor the government for that matter.

Out of all the celebrities, Bourdain would have viscerally despised this.

He hated fake phoney people, or food.

He hated when his production crew would stovepipe his bits.

He hated a scene in Greese (I believe) where crew went out and bought squid, and threw them into the water to made the shoot better.

I really liked Bourdain. He was one of the few celebrities that didn't seem to change with fame, or money.

I watched him for years, and knew he was unhappy, but never thought suicide unhappy.
I think another error is assuming that having all content within a few hyper-scale hyper-global ad-supported commercial repositories of everything is a natural or healthy state of affairs. Many small websites dedicated to particular things is IMO generally better both from a free speech and a moderation standpoint than these giants that have to thread an impossible needle. In other words, web 1.0 was better.

> What happened to having specialized agencies regulate and inspect industries?

A lot of censorship has traditionally been governments threatening to regulate industries if they don't self regulate, and that's pretty much what's been going on.
Yeah, this clarifies the logic. So because the algo above doesn't terminate it is not a proof.

The axiom of choice is an assumption that is neither known to be true or false.
Sadly I can see the attack ads now. Paying for other people's child care? That's socialism! Except you're going to be paying for it either way. Now do you want to pay through taxes which are least proportional to your income, or do you want to pay via increased cost in everyday goods and services, which probably affects you more than someone wealthier?

We're in the run up to an election now so lots of extravagant promises being made, we'll see what actually happens when the dust settles.
Capital in capitalism refers to the means of production, ie tools, machines, real estate, etc. While it can include some less tangible assets like intellectual property, its still stuff that allows you to more easily produce stuff. Economic capital is used up in the spending of funds and the depreciation of assets.

Social capital refers to networks of relationships, sway over the opinions of others, and institutional clout. While it could certainly be used to help acquire the means of production, it isn't itself a means of production. Social capital is not expended when utilized.

While there may be cases where you need both, it is common to have one without the other, and social capital by no means a necessary and root component of capital. A person who builds a useful machine in his garage creates economic capital without drawing upon any social network. A socialite rubbing elbows with the right people at a cocktail party builds social capital without drawing upon any economic capital.
> This is the problem, isn't it? You seem to be posting an easy question to answer. But it's not, is it? Who is Google to judge what anyone would "consider violent or garbage?"

You aren't even touching on the complexities. The original article was about "misleading content". Google is asserting that they will take action on "content that deceives, misleads, or confuses users".

Good grief.

There are a lot of things you could do to let the labour market behave more like a free market, like for instance mandatory wage ranges on job postings.

The problem is that a lot of people in power would lose from this and manage to prevent it from happening.
It doesn't seem like anything dangerous was posted, but the individual who posted it shouldn't be making judgement calls about what they think shouldn't need to be classified.
Idiots found the right place to publish the knowledge. Google drive, yeah. If they were true scientists, that would be an excuse. Scientists are unaware of popular technology, they deal with pure science.
Of course being laid off is a must. The question is how long, before you find a new job, does it remain a must? An individual's reasons for passing on a new job sometimes stretch the idea of "must".
What? So because someone or something has more money than us, we should just say screw it and buy products we are morally against? That makes no sense.

I'm sorry but your math doesn't add up.

"companies you could fill those labor hours trivially by making existing staff full time drastically increasing their wages" ?

So the company will 'trivially' have 2x more revenue to be able to offer everyone full time jobs?

While raising prices by 'only 6%' - you understand how Supply and Demand works?

You are the one paying for those services. If you were willing to pay any material amount more, there'd be higher wages.

In addition to Supply and Demand you have 'competitiveness' - service industries run on razor thin margins not by choice (!!), it's the nature of competition.

By having tons of illegal workers, willing to work for less, you guarantee lower wages.

The #1 driver of low wages in America is essentially illegal migration, which is encouraged by the same people who want higher wages.

But all of this is moot: It's immoral (and probably illegal) to collect unemployment benefits if you can be working. In addition, smaller service industry companies cannot afford to pay substantially more, and they will be hit much harder by 'worker subsidies' than Starbucks across the street who will put them out of business.
Would this mean all a non-EU website needs to do to safely serve GDPR-bound persons is trash any data collected from them?
same thing. there can be a latent factor, like it takes awhile for criminals to move from one area to another, so airbnb people aren't the causes but leading indicators for something underneath. this is classic correlation vs causation.

it's not hard to come up with alternative latent factor causations like this, which would lead to radically different conclusions than the paper, so I have to wonder if some sort of bias is leaking in -- I have no horse in this race either way, just skimming it seems like sloppy politicized inferences, and disappointed that reviewers didn't force that to be addressed. e.g., the authors came in with opening hypotheses / observations here, and instead of seeking to disprove them (good science), sought to support them w/ p-hacking (bad science). the correlations are interesting, so the science would be to try to break them somehow to narrow down the conclusions, and instead they promote 1 arbitrary interpretation and leave the analysis to future work
I'm 100% positive they have a pro model somewhere in Valve HQ.
OOohhh...eight year old hardware. Spoooky! Carefully, now, put that in a museum!

Seriously, though, we need to rethink the expected lifetime of products we buy. I live in a relatively new house for my neighborhood, it was built in 1972. I drive a 2008 Toyota. My desk has a sticker under it from 1993. The lamp over my head has a new-ish LED bulb in it, but the casting and glass are from the 1950s. My computer is a workstation from 2012, with a couple larger sticks of RAM and a pair of large SSDs it's as good as or better than most new machines. My phone is 2 years old now with no signs of wear, previously I had an LG G5 with a trivially swappable battery but the connectors and clips that held the modular design together wore out and LG stopped selling the OEM batteries.

Some of this disposable product culture results from obsolescence, tech is getting better and while my old Crestoloy wrench is just as good as new tool steel a router or hard drive from a decade ago is not as good as a new one, that's reasonable. What's unreasonable is that a three-year warranty, or mechanical designs that wear out in slightly more than that, is considered acceptable. And why, when the product does wear out, is it glued and clipped together in ways that make it unrepairable?
This is true, I originally had a comment about narrower roles but thought it was a a distraction. If you are looking at the justice system as a whole, the pool of people shifts a fair bit. However, you have to pick an extremely narrow role before you are anywhere close to GP's "almost everyone is shitty" characterization.

My comment was more aimed at general policing, the vast majority of which fits my characterization.
I think what we need is a users bill or rights. There should be certain rules a company just can't decide to make, and there should be certain rights afforded to every user.

Without that we're just choosing between which monarchy to rule us.
I got dry eyes some time ago. Dryness gone but now I see starburst at night in headlights, neon signs and stars. Being unable to see stars as flickering dots anymore hurts me the most. Neon signs in particular if blue are totally whacky and unreadable until I go too close. I went to optometrist recently and they didn't understand why blue in particular and recommended a color blindness test which I obviously passed.

Now I understand why blue in particular. Damage is done, I wish I could take it back.

I assume you're joking, but in case anyone thinks your description is accurate, it's wrong in a significant way.

Point (2) is fundamentally wrong in a critical way. The whole point of the Banach-Tarski Theorem is that you only have finitely many pieces. Of course these pieces are composed of infinitely many points, but it's a finite number of "pieces".

Others may find it amusing, sense of humour vary widely. Usually I just shrug and move on, but in the essence of this "joke" you've genuinely misrepresented the entire point.

>Who is Google to judge what anyone would "consider violent or garbage?"

They own and operate a service called Google Drive. They offer that service under whatever terms they decide. And the decisions they make are relevant to their own service. They likely also don't allow you to use their service to distribute illegal material.

>I don't remember electing them to control this aspect of life. And where does it stop? What is the line? Who is actually defining these things?

Google has the right to make this decision on their own platform. They don't have the right to make this decision outside of their platform, and are not attempting to do so. They're not a government. They cannot control what other sites do. They don't have an army. They're not burning textbooks or jailing teachers. They're not controlling the definition of "wrong think."

If you don't like what they're doing, you're welcome not to use their service. Google Drive isn't the only cloud-based document backup service by a long shot.
