I know the point you're trying to make; it's ubiquitous. The point I'm making is that "free markets" won't answer the question either, and often result in things that are obviously against "value to society."

One little thing I find annoying is that whenever someone points out some issue with free markets, someone always seems to reply with something that amounts to "have you considered free markets?" Whatever the problem, markets are the solution, even if the problem stems from markets themselves.

The Soviet Union had serious problems, but it's a mistake to reason from that to the conclusion that markets are in some way ideal. They have their own problems, and we don't have access to an ideal system, so we have to try to deal with individual problems and make tradeoffs.
I see. I could imagine accepting something like that if I got legal protections afterwards like some of those countries have.
Client side anti-cheats are getting disrupted anyway. You can already buy ML and external hardware cheats that are obviously impossible to detect using the same old methods. It can work for games being streamed locally or over the internet, Stadia, game consoles, anything with a screen.
It's click-baity because it withholds necessary information in order to get you to click on it.

Saying the version number or release date would stop most people from clicking on it, because it matters much less.

Google Doc is specifically designed for writing and reading and used probably by more people than any other piece of software ever for that task. And you think it's fair to compare it to crayon and napkins? What a world we live in. Programming is often about thinking through the problem, but if you can't separate yourself form your IDE when writing code and it's about syntax then that says more about your style.
I bet 99.99% of users never used Google Bookmarks. It will have been available for 16 years. You have to be able sunset unused products at some point.
Their history shows tend to only be political if you perceive different viewpoints as political slant. The hosts undoubtedly are liberal elites, but I think they strive for objectivity more than most media.
Security is always a trade off with user/customer experience.

It's much more convenient to just not have a door or always leave it unlocked.
IMO it doesn't matter if your theft is a felony or misdemeanor, police should still patrol and try to pursue it. Cops, however, claim they are overworked and understaffed to do this.

This is the "broken windows" theory- if you let minor crimes like shoplifting go unpunished in a city, more people will do it.
Didn't Yeltsin experience something akin to a religious conversion on seeking an American supermarket? We're only numb to the miracle because we see it every day.

No surprise there, construction is booming ... why take a low paying side job when you can make more doing what you know.
Definitely, if you’re being recruited for L8, thats a level of distinction all on its own..
So is being an asshole. Shame we can’t meet middle way with either attitude.
It's Android, release date of the OS doesn't matter so much as when was the last device that doesn't upgrade past 2.3.7 released and/or when did that device leave mass retail. Or some other threshold.

A ton of 2.3 devices weren't upgradable to 4. And there were a lot of devices made with 2.3 well after 4 was available. The numbers are probably small though, WhatsApp (where I used to work) ended support for 2.3.7 in early 2020 because the user numbers no longer justified the effort to keep that working. Usage was enough to justify almost a two year notice period though.

Actually, even though iOS5 was released in 2011, all devices that supported iOS5 were able to update to iOS6. I wonder, how functional an iOS6 device could be today.
I happened to have, by chance, practiced writing sort from scratch right before an interview where they asked me to do just that. Doing it correctly in just a few minutes gave me pretty high status. Higher than I deserve. The randomness cuts both ways.

Well local PBS & NPR stations ... often do that.

I'm not sure the article really makes it clear what the situation in the first place is, or if they know.
If the tools can be activate by Bluetooth, seems like they might be deactivated that way as well (especially if it was returned).

Given typical IoT security, it would be interesting to see how that ends up working out for them.

That last one is great if it’s hidden behind a flag and some loud messages saying “failed to build, consider using —-python-only with performance limitation.”

Otherwise it’s going to be a source of mysterious performance issues with a single error message hidden somewhere in your CI or other logs.

Not to discount this passage, but fathers being absent is almost a trope until very recently. Many generations since the Industrial Revolution have grown up barely knowing their father, unless he had a job that allowed him to be around the children more than the usual.

Long days at the factory were the norm, not the exception. However, to leave them entirely for months at a time was definitely not normal. I think most men would not want that.
The funny thing is that the name soccer is of English origin[1] and is the more precise term, since it's short for Association Football. However, when one just says football it could be any number of ball games that involve using the feet at least some of the time[2].

That's because you're calculating the percentage wrong.

The relevant percentage isn't against sales but against profits. Home Depot has a profit margin of around 10%, so it would be $719,548 against $100M in profit, or 0.7%.

If you can increase profits by nearly a full percentage point that's huge. That's how companies grow, after all -- a percent here, a percent there, and all these little things are what make the stock price grow.

Sure it's a "lot of work". That's what companies do. If it were easy we'd all be billionaires.

That wasn't so much sarcasm as dry english self-deprecation in this case. I have a couple friends who do accessibility stuff who I ask for advice when I need it and are always happy to give such - that's part of where my motivation to spitball comes from cos I know they'd appreciate it as a paying it forwards sort of thing (once in person conferences return properly 'buying them beer' will also work, of course ;).

Yeah, this is where I was thinking client-server, wherein the reader would (in pipedream world) send some sort of request through to the other end to move between UI elements ... but (a) that requires said protocol to exist (b) we're back to attack surface problems.

Though ... I wonder if, rather than trying to put together all-of-a-chromium, you could do something with a seriously locked down build based on the tauri project (which I think it was you mentioned upthread somewhere and I'm now going "ooh" at) but I'm aware I'm handwaving a lot there.
> it would be easy to guarantee that you can get a rootkit-free phone

The problem in this case is that you get the malware installed through a no-click required iMessage and not a "supply chain" attack on the image your phone is running on. How would that help?

Exploiting Microarchitectural Optimizations from Software [pdf]
Quite an interesting rabbit hole of geography, thanks for that.

According to Wikipedia, Zealandia (where New Zealand is) is also an "almost entirely submerged mass of continental crust" that's half the size of Australia. And "geologists from New Zealand, New Caledonia, and Australia have concluded that Zealandia fulfills all the requirements to be considered a continent".

But that "simplified" map of continental plates shows how much geologists definition of "continent" differs from the usual definition. As you said, central America and the Caribbean are on their own plate. And Asia actually contains land from four "principal" plates (Eurasian, Indian, Arabian, and part of the North American plate), while Europe and most of Asia are together on the Eurasian plate.

Not for embedded environments
Not as direct a question as it may seem: the iPhone 4s (IIRC the first device released with iOS5) could be upgraded as far as iOS9 but many Android devices never saw much by way of upgrades unless you count rooting them to install something manually. Though how well those devices run newer versions of the OS and newer apps is likely a question with many answers (most, but not all, negative).
Android 3 wasn't generally available for phones; it was mostly tablets.

I grab one of the buckets and use it as a shopping cart, even if I'm only getting a few nuts and bolts like that, just so I don't accidentally lose one in a pocket.

Of course, that backfired once when I got home and realized I hadn't paid for the bucket.
> What makes you think the Internet or unconstrained speech on the Web had anything to do with it?

That is not what I think. Hate speech is the causal factor that I'm talking about, not the medium. People used the most effective tools that were available to them at the time. Before it was radio, print or film. Now it's social media.

> Orwellian Dystopian nightmare

I agree that speech restrictions can progress into an Orwellian nightmare.

But, again, you've ignored the flip side. Hate speech can also progress into an Orwellian nightmare. It's happened throughout history.

So we have two opposing things that can each potentially lead to an Orwellian nightmare. Yet in your argument you've ignored the latter, only focusing on the risks of the former. That's why I am unconvinced by this line of argumentation. It is ahistorical in the way that it downplays the causal factors that lead to genocides and massacres.

To convince me, you'll have to explain why the former is more likely to lead to a bad outcome than the latter, while keeping true to history.
The formatting is a little rough on this. I'd add some line braeks.
Sunscreen | Founding Engineer | Full-time | SF or remote

Private computation, compilers, and post-quantum crypto…oh my!

At Sunscreen, we believe private computation is the future. However, the cryptography needed to achieve this feat is currently inaccessible to engineers. [0]

You probably enjoy optimization problems, have worked on compilers at your day job or in your free time, and liked linear algebra when you took it (possibly ages ago). You believe cryptography should be developed open-source and understand the importance of good documentation.

Join us and help make advanced cryptography accessible and easy to use for engineers.

I would never want to work with someone like this.
Extra clarification: I'm well aware the concerns about tokens vs CST vs AST, that is why I decided to write down a library that does refactors on small code fragments rather than just unparse()ing everything. CST is definitely more sound in terms of preserving these details but dealing with it much more complicated than the regular AST. Refactor's README these also mentions other libraries for complex refactors: parso, LibCST, FixIT

What you say is true, and I'm not sure that "rewrite everything" is a valid approach. But if you're starting something today, you might take this data into account when choosing the language...
I'm a long time user of GTasks [0], a rather simple application which serves most of my needs (notifications, repeating reminders with customizable frequency). The application is stable and feature rich enough, but author seems to be have abandoned it in favor of a clone with subscription model.

For the features that I feel missing, I've been hatching this plan for my perfect app for more than a decade. "Cloud hosted HTML5? Oh, but how do I get notification on my phone? Hm, maybe need to write a native one. Not easy to develop for Android from command line, ugh. Flutter?". Rinse and repeat.

> Sometimes people look at the "nominal" cost of catastrophic insurance or their partial contribution as an employee and extrapolate - but that doesn't work when you're fending for yourself.

Another wrinkle with the "what do I need to pay for the equivalent of this without an employer", in my state, is that only two providers—both ones I'd never heard of before—offer individual insurance plans at all. The others do not deal in them any more, period. Call them and ask, that's what they'll tell you. Call an insurance broker and ask, that's what they'll tell you. "No, zero providers aside from the two on the exchange offer individual plans in this state now". IOW, it is impossible to pay for an individual plan as good as even mediocre employer-provided plans in my state.

For one thing, both exchange providers have far worse networks (lists of specific healthcare providers for which the insurance applies, for non-USians) than even some pretty terrible employer plans I've been on before. They're also worse value for the money, even factoring in the full cost (as one might with, for example, COBRA) even if their networks were as good.
