I will only partially agree with you; mainly because indeed, that's what they're pitching crypto as - To be your own bank. But practically, most blockchains are replacing the inter-banking networks (like SWIFT) rather than the banks themselves, as you still need centralised entrypoints.

To save some comments; Yes, they do have the potentials to create their own closed-circle economic ecosystems, but for the retail banking services to work (eg overdrafts, mortgages etc) you will end-up with centralised players as these kind of services need to be backed by wealth (it's not a tech-issue).
You can buy white-label 'Uber' apps from software companies all around the world now.

Just google 'white label Uber', there are plenty of results.

The payments can be outsourced too, to Google or Apple pay, including in-app. Since they represent a physical service there's also no app store commission.
Seems like if it’s a problem they should buy more of the in demand tools.

In my experiece organic doesn't taste better for most things because the varietals are the same. Alternative varietals of fruits and veggies tend to be organic, and of course those often taste better or have more complex flavor, but its not because they are organic.
They are very close to being a monopoly in the US, and are certainly a duopoly. Predatory pricing for a decade to establish market share, and then raising prices once in duopoly status, would be a slamdunk antitrust case.

That's the legal reality. Plus the political one- the average Uber customer is middle to upper middle class in an urban area- i.e., the types of people that politicians actually listen to. Politically sympathetic, vote in very large numbers, have an outsized voice in the media, etc. Every media outlet in America would cover the price increase nonstop. If raising prices didn't result in an antitrust suit the very next day, I will eat my hat

> FB, Google, AWS, and Azue all have a competitive advantage that China don't - English.

While true, that's the lesser of the competitive advantages. China's companies are locked in a highly restrictive CCP control box, which they're not allowed out of. That box will shrink further, suffocating the companies as it goes. It heavily limits how they can compete, what they can do, how fast they can move, and those restrictions will keep getting worse. This isn't even the middle part of the craziness that we'll see out of the dictatorship in China. Dictatorships always get ferociously psychotic as they age, hyper paranoid, increasingly detached from reality (nobody dares to tell them the truth, fear of reprisal increases drastically, so the ability to govern gets worse with time). The purges will get worse, the controls will get worse. It'll make it far more difficult for China's big tech companies to operate, they'll be increasingly hamstrung.

The CCP probably won't need to directly hit ByteDance at this point. They've already restrained the company, it got the message as everybody else has. ByteDance will reaffirm that it understands its place in the scheme of things and comply with Beijing's understood wishes. ByteDance was planning an IPO and cancelled it at the behest of Beijing.

The fake cover reason was data security. The real reason is that Xi and the CCP want China's tech giants pulled back home and away from foreign listings (foreign ownership, foreign influence). China ideally wants those listings to be domestic-only in the future.

Had ByteDance pressed forward with the IPO, they would have been mauled with a giant fine and investigated (turned over) as Didi was.

July 12, Wall Street Journal -

"ByteDance Shelved IPO Intentions After Chinese Regulators Warned About Data Security"

"The Beijing-based social-media giant, last valued at $180 billion in a funding round in December, had been weighing an initial public offering of all or some of its businesses in the U.S. or Hong Kong, according to people familiar with the company’s plans.

But the company’s founder, Zhang Yiming, decided it would be wiser to put the plans on ice in late March, after meetings with cyberspace and securities regulators in which they asked the company to focus on addressing data-security risks and other issues, the people familiar with the matter said."

Well, its not that they distinguish between one of something and a collection, its that one of something is different from a collection of things.
So, int x is a handle to an integer value, whereas an array handle (your collection) is a handle to a pointer, which points to the start of your data structure and you can get the other elements by using an offset etc. etc.
My point being that they are differentiated because they are different things.

> Yes - whole wheat bread oftentimes means there's whole wheat flour used in making the bread, it doesn't mean only whole wheat flour was used.

Part of the reason is that it's really hard—way more work, way more time—to get a fluffy sandwich loaf out of just whole wheat flour. Or anything that's not kinda dense and focaccia-looking, really.
but the types are found in a file far away.

Don’t even get me started on that. It seems, now more than ever, we need another ‘JavaScript the Good Parts: 2021 Update’. A lot has been introduced in the last decade, and not all of it should be used to the degree we are using them.

I just don’t know who has the credibility to pull it off at this moment.
I don’t know of any non-hobby farms that keep seeds. Saving seeds on mass scale is difficult, and requires specialist equipment. Many commercial seeds are pre-treating with fungicides and/or starter fertilizer as well, which is often worth paying the premium for. As you mentioned, some non-GMO plants (hybrids - common with corn, wheat, cotton) don’t produce good seed anyways.
I live in the Phoenix area and put down a small initial deposit (something like $100) for Culdesac: while I primarily work from home, my partner still works at multiple sites west of downtown Phoenix, which makes Culdesac impractical, even though I love the idea of it. Right now, Phoenix's light rail system runs east-west between downtown Phoenix and Tempe, and north-south from downtown to uptown, but none of those locations are near the important job sites.

It's not "the government". There are many governments around the world. What happens when China, Russia, or another country legislates using this technology for some other purpose. Those are big markets. Will Apple back out of them or give in?

I assume when people talk about “ultra-processed” they’re talking about foods which 90% would agree are bad for you

So then we should just call it what it is: junk food.

"ultra-processed" is no better than "gmo", i.e. a completely meaningless label designed to scare people because of spooky "technology", as opposed to actual information people can use to make informed decisions.

> Maybe we could call it “junk” food but that’s even more ambiguous.

LOL... damn, okay, I admit it, I didn't read all the way to the end before commenting. I'm leaving this here as it's a good reminder for myself to slow down...
Personally I rarely drink anything, so not applicable to me.

But I had seen a good attitude from a colleague once: If you want me to put my normal life on hold for on-call shifts, that is fine with me. But then you need to pay me for that time as if I was sitting in the office: "So I'm going to be paid an additional 128hrs the week I'm on call, okay?"

In the specific case it was not about drinking but about weekend or evening trips with the family where the company expected the employee to sit at home instead and wait to potentially be paged.

People quickly came to the conclusion that some lowered expectations for the on-call person would be appropriate and working via a 4G connection from a notebook is totally acceptable.

I would say the experience is transferrable to drinking. Don't drink yourself into a stupor is sage advice, but we're not worrying about a bottle of wine, especially if it's shared over Dinner or such.
Specialized reddits about programming topics, drugs, do it yourself stuff etc are quite good TBH.

Mainstream reddits could be junk ..
> What I really want is for all cookies to be deleted when the browser exits, except for the sites assigned to the containers I've created.

Then Cookie AutoDelete (CAD) is exact what you'd want. Firefox has a setting option that deletes all cookies except exception after the browser is closed. But in my opinion, that function is too limited. CAD filters domains on container level, while Firefox's doesn't. CAD also offers regex matching for domains, which is really useful. My favorite feature is greylisting everything in Default Firefox's container (using * regex for greylist).

CAD is compatible and best used with Firefox's Multi-Account Container.

It will take a bit to learn how it works though.

The weather isn’t that of an issue due to the thin atmosphere. You can land an airship by compressing the lifting gas into a liquid. If you can get enough power reserve at least to do that.

The main issue would be the size of the balloon but honestly if we can make some origami rigid airframe a vacuum airship might actually work.

At that point controlling buoyancy is also less of an issue from a power perspective since you don’t need a large power reserve to land, and when you are on the ground you can wait until you have enough power to create sufficient vacuum in the airship.
Habit, mostly: I tend to use VLOOKUP for exact matches and MATCH for relative ones.

The big caveat with Figma is that you don’t full own your data with it. It technically lets you export, but the file format is undocumented and subject to change at any time.

Additionally, it’s very much geared specifically toward UI design and prototyping, whereas something like Affinity Designer or Sketch also work well for generic screen-targeted vector work.
Yes I think the IIFE is there to avoid the inner loop blocking the outer loop.

I think it looks better with the IIFE factored out into its own function:

async function serve(conn) {
for await (const { respondWith } of Deno.serveHttp(conn)) {
respondWith(new Response("Hello World"));
}
}

for await (const conn of Deno.listen({ port: 4500 })) {
serve(conn);
}
Yeah. This right here.

The problem with corporate america isn't that the work is boring; it's that for most jobs it's actually evil at some point in the pipeline. (To use a metaphor - you're still morally culpable if you're carrying boxes of bullets to the soldiers doing the actual killing). Almost no matter what industry you're in, whether it's shoes, or batteries, or electronics, you know that somewhere on the other side of the world, actual slavery is providing materials and labor for what you're selling, and you really wonder why we can't all mutually agree to make that illegal.

There are very few professions (often stuff like medicine, teaching, etc) where someone can sit back and think "yeah, my day job is a net positive for humanity".

It's hard enough to cope with when something is a decent "material good" on its own - like if you're selling shoes (virtually all of which get made in sweatshops), at least you have the pride in the fact that shoes are a necessity. It sucks that slavery was involved in making them, but at least you know people are getting genuinely good clothing out of it.

But when you don't have that - when you are, say, working in market analysis or advertising, and you realize your job isn't actually making anything or filling any material need - or even just bringing people joy, yeah, it's a bit worse than being meaningless. You're flushing the best years of your life down the toilet to make a little more money for some private equity firm. Great.

So, no meat substitutes for you, then? Because if Beyond Meat burgers aren't "ultra-processed", I don't know what is.
If an alcubierre drive can be created,even inside the bubble of normal space time you would probably die. This is because of the Unrue radiation that is created by compressing the space time in front of you. Also, it seems that even with the best theoretical approach you still need the mass equivalent of Jupiter in exotic matter to make it work for a small ship :/ Spacetime is extremely resistant to compression/expansion.
I noticed it in a large tourist-destination US city recently. You literally could not get an Uber from the airport (which is not at all far from the city center). Instead, drivers have formed an informal co-op, negotiating prices and dispatching in person or by phone. Basically an uncredentialed taxi service, that the city was looking the other way on because someone has to do it, and people still won't use the traditional taxis out of a habit - they go to the ride share pickup area, try to call an Uber or Lyft, can't, and then go to the grey market option out of desperation.
>TikTok feels like the least toxic environment.

That's because It's the least commercialized of the social platforms and dominated by youth (for now). AKA we're at the end of it's honeymoon hip-new-platform phase. The company cannot maintain meteoric user-growth forever as there's only so many people in the world, and their primary target demographic that is responsible for much of their growth is already nearing saturation (the youth).

As such, they're at an inflection point in their user growth and their operating costs have never been higher. Billions in revenue will only tempt investors for so long when they're still netting a loss in the billions a year and their growth curve is starting to relax. This will see the implementation of more dark patterns to monetize the revenue per user while simultaneously the users on the platform will search for any and every possible advantage to leverage their following for clout and profit (especially as the userbase ages into adulthood and has bills to pay) and ultimately we'll see the same poisoning of the well that we've seen with every other social media platform to date. Question is just how bad it will get.
I'm using FF almost exactly the same way as you describe, and have found the "Forget Me Not" addon to be great.

And they also remove far more problems. In fact they are far simpler then PWRs.

Have you ever been to a community maker space? Your Comment reads a bit like you're treating this as a hypothetical. The ones I've seen usually have a mix of people owning (and stashing in boxes or such) their own tools & materials, as well as shared stuff that is usually in okay order depending on the place & people. Especially for things like cnc machines though there's no sane way to own these individually if you're not a power user.

For iOS? Nothing.

Google is or will be as bad/worse, the third party privacy-oriented Android distros are too much hassle, and dumb phones are too insecure/slow/busted.

For macOS (which will also scan your photos for secret indicators), prior to this announcement, I was already in the process of migrating to a Linux desktop.

This is only Apple's first step on its retreat from its user privacy soapbox. I expect it to get worse and so I reserve the right to change my mind about the above options.
>In the long term, though, workers started realizing they often had to go back to the market to get meaningful pay raises.

This has always been known. There simply was less demand for the labor that some workers were selling to get meaningful pay raises. Now that those supply and demand curves are shifting, especially in favor for those at the bottom of the pay scale, they have the option of selling their labor at a higher price.

I am curious how it turns out in the next few decades as lower birthrate effects cause younger, lower paid workforce numbers to decrease. Especially if it is not offset by labor from immigrants.

>The only thing stopping your phone from keylogging your password to a server in the NSA somewhere if it recognizes a specific trigger pattern is Apple's willingness and ability to resist pressure from the US, etc.

Think of what would happen if you tried to make your average Silicon Valley dev team design, implement, and test a surveillance system they didn't want to build and that was immoral. They'd resit in an infinite number of ways that would delay the project virtually for ever. Short of summary executions, I bet you could not get a nice, efficient, effective system.

On the other hand, once the dev team has enthusiastically built the system that scans for any image, it's entirely easy to say "Now, make it look for these images." They have no avenue for resistance other and a up front no. And a government that wants to do totalitarian things knows many ways to force a yes.

To be honest, Gnome is a lot more usable than Windows in my experience. Most of the software I expect to be provided by the OS simply are better under Gnome: file browser, image viewer, terminal, windows and desktop manager (it's kind of shocking how the windows implementation of exposé is so poor).

Sadly, I can run neither Excel nor PowerPoint under Gnome. So I'm stuck with windows.

The news article is jubilant about a half procent growth to the German GDP because of the corona vaccin. I'm asking what the _value_ of that half procent is.

I can totally understand if Germany has built new factories, or had some other economic activity that spread whatever new income is generated over a significant part of the population. But that's not the case here: it's a single company, making a shitload of money, but mostly abroad, from vaccins that are mostly produced abroad as well. That money goes into a very small number of pockets. It may boost the economic indicator called GDP but it does not represent wealth for the average German.
Oh, that's nothing. There's also things like "if this $optical_illusion moves, you have $disorder", or people faking DID and showing off their "alters".

i don't understand. transportation and food service in the era before uber was literal shit. remember, if you couldn't use your own car, you had to subject yourself to horrible smelly "licensed" taxis with drivers that barely know the city, or go on a bus with some meth head tweaking out in the back. you had to get yourself up and _physically go_ to a restaurant if you didn't have time to cook yourself.

now you can get a fast safe ride at any time of day and get the meal of your choice without having to go and sit around in the same room with a bunch of other losers like you. all at a moment's notice, through a nice convenient interface. and people have the gall to complain about this?

UPD: to be clear - it doesn't matter that uber subsidizes rides/deliveries. they could stop doing that and jack up the price, but the alternatives are so dreadful that i doubt it would make me stop using them.
