But thats the whole problem, we have built an idiotic system for shipping plastic around the world. Now we export it to turkey from Uk:

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-57680723

Before we used to ship it to China, and when China banned exports, it triggered a massive crysis in UK recycling industry.

Maybe where you live, its different. But significant amount of western world plastic does end up in the environment. I personally involved volunteered to clean up forests from plastic in Europe.

So advertisements are malware and cybercrime?

If the presence of bad actors poisons the well then I don't see a stronger case for non-Firefox browsers.
For smaller companies this is likely feasible. But for Apple/Google/etc, I imagine there were a lot of architectural / design decisions that went into their campuses that assumed a single monolithic tenant working in a largely open-office format.

That probably makes those spaces harder to sell/rent. It's unlikely they'll find a single large buyer with the same needs. They'd probably have redesign the campuses a bit to better support multiple tenants.
I'm guessing that's more likely to have happened.
It's a pretty good starting point though, and with a little bit more work and some powder you can get it near perfect.
I've never met Elizabeth, so I couldn't say for sure whether she knew or not, but it doesn't make sense given how much I know she loves her kids. It makes more sense to me that if she saw signs that she didn't want to believe it, rather than that she knew and approved.

Regardless, I can't see how in a just system she would get nearly twice the sentence of the man who actually did it, especially when even the prosecutor admits she didn't abuse the children and wasn't in the house when it occurred.

Look, I get it. We want to believe that if someone gets 20 years, it must be reasonable in some way. I'm probably biased, but I just can't see it, here.

It wasn't stolen. It was "stolen" in the process of being supplied to Hezbollah with plausible deniability by Russia.
To whom would Apple sell their new spaceship if remote working in tech became pervasive? Who would buy Google’s campus?

I’m pro-remote work, but if all of tech does it, that seriously dents tech-style real estate.
Please don't post like this - it breaks the site guideline against name-calling (which applies also to arguments) and generally goes against the desired culture of the site, which is curious conversation.

Of course you can still have your views; you just need to post about them in the key of curiosity. That includes, btw, respect for the opposite point of view, since curiosity is somewhere short of certainty.

I feel like Americans are constantly concern trolling about left/right political conflict to divert from ever talking about Canadians.

You do admit that Canadians have their fair share of fools, right?

I just wonder if by "some fools" you betray a bias toward thinking the U.S. is the only country in the entire world.
I started using https://github.com/athensresearch/athens I quickly fill with lot of information, I miss code feauteres like markdown github fencing ```, but so far is great, searh is fast, adding new data is good, refereces links and back links really adds to the information, and the daily page is useful.

...at some point, massive multi-national monopolies (or oligopolies) have a certain responsibility to societal ethics.

This isn't the local pub kicking out a loud-mouth racist.

The danger of these few massive corporation, which control 99.9% of all human communication, dictating what we can say will bite us in the ass.

It's important to remember that YouTube's policy isn't always correct. They defended the WHO - but the WHO hosted a video on Youtube from Feb-2020 to July-2020 telling people that they did not need masks unless they were directly caring for sick patients.

These massive corporations can no only get things wrong, they have an incentive to alter narratives to support their own agendas.

It is their ubiquity and size that necessitates they respect free speech of content creators, unlike a small business that we can easily avoid.

To give a more extreme example of the danger of allowing unfettered corporate censorship: Imagine if mobile phone companies started listening to the content of your calls, and banned your mobile phone from the network if you said something in a private conversation they objected to. Or Skype/Meet/Zoom did the same?

It's one thing to be kicked out of a bar for being an idiot. It's another thing to be kicked out of all bars all over the world, forever.
I don't like audiobooks that much. It's glacial compared to reading it myself. They can be good for long commutes but I'm not going to pay 2-3 times the price to spend 2-3 times as long to "read" a book.
Here's an idea.

If the authorities combated things like this with openness and actually answered the difficult questions maybe people wouldn't be pushed towards dis-information through distrust.

Nobody has or should have all of the answers. I'm not expecting a public official to stand up and be a global expert on all things.

But there have been so many lies on both sides now and so much political goal scoring by sport term politicians on both sides I'm not surprised that people turned to social media.

Were all dancing around the elephant in the room that clearly everyone panicked due to china's lies at the start of 2020 and its created a culture of fear and distrust.

The only way of combating bad speech is with more speech. This means actual openness and transparency and talking about how you made decisions. This unfortunately does show how ill prepared governments all were for an actual pandemic which is a bit disappointing but it's good to know that some things are being learned from this.
Even if it is that this isn't smallpocks++...
It is. Software doesn't rust. My old copy of Office 2000 still works perfectly fine -- with Wine. Windows 2000 and Office 2000 were the last versions I bought. When M$ switched to activation-based "copy protection", I moved on to Linux and never looked back.

But the thing is: You pay for something, and it works. Then, just 11 years after the sale, the product suddenly stops working, just because someone said so, even though it's still in perfect condition. That's a nope from me. Imagine you buy new shoes, and after a while you suddenly can't put them on anymore. Or an oven doesn't work anymore after just 11 years. With M$ stuff it seems to have become a new "normal"...
Parametric Programming – an equational approach to OO and beyond
It isn't the role of the public to regulate business. It is literally the role of the government to regulate business. Blaming your fellows for failing to stop multinational corporations in their endless search for more dollars is short sighted and as we have seen doomed.
3 of the top 5 graph databases on db-engines are open-source.

https://db-engines.com/en/ranking/graph+dbms

As for standards, absolutely. Gremlin and TinkerPop are both common ways to interface with Graph Databases that work across many different vendors.

That said, IMHO graph databases are pretty niche. SQL took off because the ability to normalize data when you store it and then relate it as needed when you query while still getting great performance for large-ish data (thanks to indices and query optimizers) is really powerful.
I agree, what this man did was criminal. It doesn't matter how he felt about it, or the great redemptive arc the story talks about (him learning to read eventually), the truth is he short-changed a lot of children on a proper education.

There's been a pandemic for the elderly and those with co-morbidities. Other than the that and other human-imposed responses (eg lockdown) to the pandemic, nothing would tell me there is a pandemic happening.
This lawsuit should generate more hate from all computer users, not just gamers. They screwed over not only their own users, but they hurt everyone on the planet. The ruling that they bought directly undermines the ability to develop interoperating software. Of any kind. For anything. Want your right to repair? Blizzard directly took some of that from you, and for that I hope they burn in hell.

The only git commands you need to know are: clone, checkout, pull, push, fetch, merge, and rm -rf $workdir.
They're not necessarily confusing, but "constant variable", "local import", "randomized sorts" probably all sound weird to outsiders. Also, I wonder where "linting" came from (de-linting?). Some terms are just so popular that the names will always be a blur without context (index, object, array, function)–you can always "rename" them but it wouldn't help.
It’s not very fast when you account for all the time and productivity wasted on getting “unstuck” all the time.
Yes. The job says "requires git", the first person filtering resumes doesn't know that if you've been working on software for ten years the of course you know git.

Also, not everyone knows git, or Linux.

No, there's historical precedent, plenty of motive, and it's in line with the specific political tactics that have governed Russia for quite a while now. Adam Curtis's 'Hypernormalization' touched on this.

It's also been very clear to anyone who's watched it happen on places like Reddit that 'russiagate' itself is a meme driven by powerful media management, brigading, and trolling. Anytime you're in a community and have the ability to examine heavily downvoted content and analyze it for the likely reasons it got hammered with six times the downvotes any other post in the community got, you don't soon forget what you observed.
I guess my expectations of printers are low -- don't need color or fancy LCD screens. So I had HP 1022n for about 2 decades now and it works wonderfully every single time. Just need to replace toner cartridge every 2-5 years, but they're cheap.

Its very hard to find another device in my home that has operated for this long without becoming obsolete or breaking down. Even my AC unit is obsolete by current efficiency standards.

My understanding is that the original pushback against the lab leak wasn’t that it had no chance but that it was being used as a distraction for weak leadership initiatives. It was a whataboutism at the time where leadership was on record letting the pandemic get worse because blue states were being hit the hardest.

I think sublime merge is pretty close to the optimal git GUI, https://www.sublimemerge.com/. It uses standard git commands and terminology and allows you to add custom git commands to the GUI. Unlike Sourcetree is cross platform for Windows/Linux/Mac and includes a merge tool. I think command line git and Sublime Merge git translate back and pretty easily.

I wonder whether it would be possible to just build your own printer. That is, rip out the electronics from some common model and replace with an Arduino that just sends the correct signals to the hardware to print.

This has been apparent in the US. Our govt tells us small lies for the greater good - early in the pandemic masks weren’t needed - better to tell them they didn’t work so there were enough for healthcare workers.

Works great until the situation changes and you need people to wear masks. Not only do people question why things have changed, they start to ask what else you’re lying about for “the greater good”.
The headline makes this sound really novel, but I see it as another example of governments being out of touch with industry accomplishments when they aren't published in journals (but are available elsewhere).

Well that's a bit of a strawman. I don't think anyone would claim the "rooskies" stole the 2016 election as you put it. On the other hand we know for a fact that Putin and his military were dead set on interfering, and were successful in several operations. We also have mountains of real actual evidence, which people went to jail or were indicted over, that Donald and his associates sought and gained help to interfere with the election.

Putting blatant covid misinformation and facts about the 2016 election in the same category is complete bullshit.
Besides this war between companies and tech companies, I'm glad that I live in a part of the world where vaccine mandates are not happening.
And there was election fraud in 2020 (there is always) ... The question is whether any of those things are of scale enough to actually change results.

Russia has always interfered with US elections and the US has always waged propaganda war in the Russia and former USSR.

There is always bought votes or people voting when they are not allowed and so on.

Russian impact on election was way smaller than the media time and mind share of democrats and vice versa for Republicans.
> Covid was a grand plan by the elites to control society, while other fools will believe that the 2016 election was stolen by the Rooskies

These are really bad examples to try to equate. There was intervention by Russia into the US election ("stolen" is a harsh word that is up for debate), while the idea that a government entity unleashed a virus on the worldwide population is a much more serious acquisition and far less evidence to support.
Couldn’t I say the same thing about you?

One thing I can say in my defense is that I’d absolutely love to be wrong. I’d love to believe this will all be over soon with (0 covid?) and then they give us back everything they’ve taken and we’re back to normal.

Is that what most people believe?
When people are arguing in bad faith to seize political power, they're going to go for civil war anyhow. They're stepping away from negotiation and committing to war. It's fair to ask how intensely you react to it (no sense becoming mirror fascists, which the fascists will immediately accuse you of being anyhow) but it's not reasonable to ignore the reality.

It seems to me that to have any hope in this "war" (a bit extreme, IMO, because I believe flexibility serves management and companies too), we need greater transparency about both the policies of what degrees of workplace flexibility are officially permitted, as well as the reality of how much people are able to take advantage of that flexibility in practice.

To that end, as a side project I was hacking on https://wlblist.com/surveys/aa74ed35-d51e-4d23-991d-6049e0ba... earlier this year (think the awesomeness of Levels.fyi but for non-compensation data). Never got much traction, but I still believe that collectively, we can influence the future of work if we collaborate in some form to freely and anonymously share information about the degrees of workplace flexibility that each employer offers.
I came out of retirement last fall for a while to work at an AI startup. One of the really nice things about the all-remote setup was randomly assigned long virtual coffee breaks every week. Given that I had a lot of samples (N ~= 50) of co-workers opinions on remote vs. in office work, I feel comfortable making a generalization: young single people mostly wanted to go back to the office while people in relationships and kids at home (especially young children) really liked the flexibility and extra family time that remote work affords.

There is a difference between a successful disinformation campaign and idiots electing a demagogue. Yes there is always disinformation campaigns and espionage between governments. But was it significant enough to blame for Americans electing Trump? Nah.

The governments would actually need to fund multi billion PR campaigns to combat the disinformation.

Apart from the political feasibility there's also the question of return on the investment. If this caused a 5% increase in the number of vaccinations, would it be worthwhile?

Even then there'd be people who think these are just two sides, and both of them make good and equally valid points.
Western economies, particularly that of the United States, have been built in a very calculated manner on gratification, addiction, and unnecessary spending.

Calculated, like in planned-economy, directive-from-the-top? I disagree. A lot of the "fluff," as the author describes it, is excess capital finding its way to things people find pleasurable, whether it be dope, travel, beauty, or rock and roll. Purveyors of such pleasures have proved to be remarkably adept at creating & providing these opportunities.
That review at the end is strange in many ways, it shows the sad truth about economics between other countries and the US. If someone is doing something good, but is not for the benefit of the US, then it is bad. If we develop a technique to harvest locally, efficiently, imagine how much the rest of america would stop depending on US for their industrial needs. So it naturally it appears harmful to the US.

US media has done so much harm to the world, at this point I think THEY are the harmful thing, telling the story that benefits the US despite the truth of many places being better without the US imperialism.
I agree with most of your points, but "both sides lie" really creates a false equivalence. Conspiracy peddlers are radically further removed from reality than the government/science communicators. Of course they are not perfect, but putting them on the same level as covid deniers is absurd.
Not everything which is not perfectly proven is a conspiracy theory. Or at least there's levels of implausibility. The US has messed with elections and governments in many countries including through direct military intervention so belief that another country would likewise do to some extent isn't that unimaginable. On the other hand so far there's no evidence of some group of elites previously causing massive global events with hard to predict consequences and plenty of evidence of prior disease spreading (SARs, etc.). Claiming that certain subsets of elites secretly work together to benefit themselves is, for example, a more plausible scenario in that same vein and there's plenty of historical precedent for these sorts of collusions.
Your comment would be more interesting if you shared the reasoning why you think the article is disinformation.
Well, it seems that you think the son in law is not actually successful and he bought his ticket into those places (MIT, Robert's College etc.).

Let's assume that he did (although I think it is BS), can you ignore the fact that the drones he is in charge of building are gaining advantages on battlefield?

With references you made in this post, I can clearly understand you are from Turkey or at least lived in Turkey for quite some time. But let me tell you something, your hate towards current rule of power in Turkey makes you so blind that you are striking everything that comes from it regardless of whether it is good or bad. FFS stop doing this or do it somewhere else. Do not shitpost here (reasonably high quality platform to discuss ideas) with references that nobody isn't interested in Turkey's daily politics are able to understand.

My comment was maybe a bit provocative but you didn't just say Safari had a few quirks (like the slow release cycle for bugs like the recent ones with LocalStorage and IndexedDB that is a pain), you said it was your bane. That usually mean using Chrome as the main development browser and waiting years for new experimental API to be (sometimes) implemented in other browsers, particularly Safari. In that case like the parent said the pain is more similar to the one a IE dev would have experienced back in the day (early 00's, not late) when some IE specific advanced features would not have been widely available on other browsers.
