Yep. Just a few days ago, even the NYTimes reported that only 27% of the blacks in NYC are vaccinated and the number one reason for hesitancy was lack of trust in the vaccine. Many people even mentioned how they got extra skeptical when they decides to vaccinating blacks first which was a pure optics failure.
This is completely wrong. "Being heard" is being on FB and Twitter, as these platforms (1) are effectively public forums by nature of their massive, near-monopolistic reach, (2) claim protections of public forums, such as immunity from liability due to user-posted content, and (3) implicitly and explicitly portray themselves as public squares/forums[1].

The online equivalent to "having the right to walk away" is blocking someone on a platform. It's that simple.

Once a company has reached a monopolistic size, which describes FB and Twitter, then it either needs to be broken up, or treated like a utility/government service - this is exactly the argument that you see all the time about e.g. ISPs and Alphabet/Google - because there's no other morally excusable way to act. The first amendment was written to only apply to the government because that's the entity that's the most likely to (and most dangerous in) silence speech and discourse, not the only one.

You definitely would not be making these arguments if it were your ideological tribe that were being censored.

I think I read the quote somewhat differently: if you think clearly, you will write well. Not that writing is necessary for thinking clearly, but thinking clearly is necessary for writing well.
It’s pretty common among game, .net, and Java EE devs. For me as a Python/Node/Cloud dev it was kinda a nonstarter (it all theoretically works, but has all kinds of little bugs and caveats) until WSL was stable. Since then it’s been perfectly viable for anything I’m working on, and I was able to use it exclusively for dev work for about 6 months. I have a Mac laptop too, but my desktop is too beefy to not use as my daily driver. Still, I prefer Linux for development work.

Most tourists should find their contactless card or equivalent (e.g an iPhone) just works. There may be a brief extra pause, especially the very first time you touch a gate, as the system figures out that yes this is a payment card, and yes it can afford to pay for a journey on the network. So, probably don't choose peak time at a crowded station to find out if your card or phone works.

I would much prefer if this was true for most public transit networks in the world, including the rest of the UK.
Nihilism Is Black Magic
Why do we need work? Since no valuable work product is being made, proof of work is really just a proxy for proof of elapsed time.

The animated demo shows this perfectly. The bar which is showing the progress in the proof of work could just be a simple timer, and it would look exactly the same.

The back end generates the page, and makes a note of the current time. Then it doesn't accept the submission until N seconds have passed since that time. The animated bar on the front end is just for show; the browser isn't what is enforcing it.

Proof of elapsed time requires nothing from the other party. If I want proof that you spent at least 30 seconds waiting from the moment I gave you some starting signal, the only evidence I need to trust are the readings of my own stopwatch.

You’re using the term “competition” here like this is something that will be exposed to consumers, but it isn’t. Companies aren’t going to offer a “light pattern” option out of the goodness of their heart, the choice will be dark pattern or don’t use the app.

Which is fine for flashlight apps but as someone else put it heee, you don’t have the option of choosing another fortnite clone with a better payment provider - all your friends are on fortnite and you can either play with them or not.

Sijilaely, had the court forced Apple to open up “third party app stores” via sideloading, you would have Facebook and others immediately block web access via safari and Force all iOS users to install a full-permissions rootkit like they already got busted for. And sure you would have the choice to not talk with your friends via Facebook ever again, but network effect is a real thing.

You can always just use Unity mode on the free VMware Player. VMware may allocate resources, but plays nicely with sharing them when not actually in use, so there's not much a performance hit on the host machine unless you really need to do something that has the CPU pegged.

I think VirtualBox has a similar feature, but in my limited experience VB doesn't perform as well as VMware.

"With" must appear in client code, much like "finalize" clauses in Java and in similar GC languages.

That is the opposite of automation: everywhere you need cleanup, you have to repeat the incantation, and get it right, again, every time. The point of destructors is that they are wholly contained in the library. It takes no extra client code to run them, and they are exercised identically on every single use of the type, so are well tested. Identically the same code runs on a throw, so there is much less risk from usually poorly exercised failure cases.
I think the reason is the phrase “direct to purchasing mechanisms”. The developer can direct the user to a purchasing mechanism. This would by definition be something external (otherwise you wouldn’t direct them to it, you’d just let them purchase it).

It could be a website, a phone number, mail order, whatever.

Also, the sentence specifically includes “external links” as part of the App Store metadata/description, so that’s a logical step.

If there is a reference to allowing in-app purchases, it would be the next clause, but it isn’t clear to me what the proper interpretation is. It could be allowing a purchasing mechanism in addition to the existing Apple In App purchasing pipeline, or that Apple can’t disallow In App purchasing.

I bet it’s the former, but I’m sure it will be part of the appeal.

What exactly is the strategy though? What are they doing differently rather than just better?
All employees would include execs obviously. I admit it's unorthodox and might feel a little unfair, but I imagine for these big tech companies that are so often guilty of just ignoring the law and paying fines to make their problems "go away," having the employees be furious at the bosses would be a far, far more effective punishment.

In terms of dollars, I don't think it would take much to make the point. Suppose you set the fine to 0.5% of salary from all employees. Someone in an entry level job earning $40k would only owe $200. But they'd be really flipping mad and might quit over it. That scales up pretty well - a middle-manager at Facebook who makes $600k would owe $3k. Not enough to really affect their life, but enough to make them really pissed off and potentially bail on the company.

In the end, if we as society want corporations to follow the law, we have to start recognizing that corporations are made up of regular humans following incentives, and if the corporate shield means the people who work in the company and carry out its actions feel no personal consequences of illegal actions, then it's not surprising they'll ignore the law.
I've heard of other VC firms with similar models of having a lot of support services baked into their business. Does anyone know if what A16Z doing is actually unique, or if they're just branding/publicizing an existing model?
I'm currently writing a cross-platform toolkit, and I'd like to know what native looks like in Windows. As far as I can tell it's worse than Linux. You have the old Win32 / MFC style widgets, and programs like Notepad++ that use something that looks similar. There's the style that much (but not all) of the Control Panel seems to use (is the name Metro?), but the only application that I've used that uses anything similar to that is the Edge browser. There's also the MS Office style, but that seems like a one-off, except that Explorer seems to use it. I've heard things about WFC, which seems to be deprecated, no idea what it looks like. I really dislike the Windows experience, so I have limited recent experience since I avoid using it as much as possible, but so far every application I've used looks different.

I'd like to know what the "native experience" is supposed to be, but I have no idea which of the numerous Microsoft UI APIs is officially current. So far I've just punted and I'm using macOS shapes and sizing and using the colors from the Metro? style; at least it will look tasteful and not stand out too much color-wise.
Uhh? You want to basically kill the company pending investigation?

Who does that help?
I think part of the problem is that different OS chromas have different native widget sizes, and possibly different layouts. If you create a UI for Windows and just switch to the macOS chroma, it will have weird spacing, and I don’t think there’s a general way to fix this. Converting to the iOS chroma is even worse, with checkboxes -> switches, radios -> tables, and the combination of smaller screen + bigger controls.

So the solution for cross-platform apps is to use a non-native chroma which is the same for each OS. But that brings you to Qt or JavaFX or Electron.

You’re talking about turning desktop apps into phone apps. I’m talking about turning phone apps into desktop apps. The former is hard, the latter is easy.

> Telegram isn't "smartphone-style". It's a native app.

With 95-100% (depending on usage) smartphone UX. If the iOS apps on M1 macs situation wasn’t such a fiasco I’d like to compare the two. My prediction: Loss of keyboard features, drag & drop, not much else (GAIN of image editing).

> Or have to hide the absolute vast majority of their interface behind multiple clicks.

It’s arguable whether this is a good thing or not, but that’s exactly where desktop software is going, likely to reduce clutter. It’s not a necessity for a convergent approach to work, however. Of course you can expand menus and such depending on your platform (one might say in a “responsive” fashion).

Seems like the web of 2012 all over again.
They’re supporting servers. That’s the whole story. They won business desktops but lost enterprise in the “anything that requires network access”, and want to continue to sell software to those customers. Making development less onerous supports that goal.

Six virtual desktops. Some allocated, but most not: a general purpose web browser (firefox or chrome) in virtual desktop 1, a dedicated-to-email different browser (brave) in virtual desktop 6.

Then lots and lots of xterms. xterms are my 'bread and butter' utilities.

I might allocate 3 or 4 xterms to a single development job, for instance: one each for: results of last compile; one for reference to man pages; one for actually text-editing the source code; and maybe one for referring to a header or other source file. (And sometimes one more for testing how an installed version of the program behaves.)

Ugh, I'd rather have the electron app. I've never seen a Java application that didn't garishly stand out, the widgets do not act at all native, and it's inevitably sluggish. Although, the biggest offenders I've used are Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA, both of which at least have some excuse. I hate using both, though, and VS Code, which I believe is Electron-based, does not feel sluggish the way the other two do.

The guts of a matter can be found in the details and nuance and that’s really hard to boil down. The world is full of recursive rabbit holes wherever you look and we can’t function as humans without some mechanisms to be ok with skipping all the details. We convince ourselves we know something because the stories we tell ourselves about them are concise and make sense. This is no indication of veracity but sufficient for us to go on our merry way. This is an interesting dynamic as it surely is a useful heuristic for operating in a complex world but when we do dive into the details and embrace the nuance we experience a personal scale epistemic rupture and that is not easily communicated to anyone who has not experienced it.

Hexagons sometimes occur in nature as a result of heat dissipation patterns, like basalt columns when they cool, and oil when heated on an extremely uniform flat surface forms into a honeycomb like pattern of hexagons.

I think those usually don't happen as a single shape though, rather when there is crowding of material and it finding optimal entropy path, you end up with a bunch of them.

Only two of the states you mention have a total ban: Wisconsin & Connecticut. The others you pulled from the list of states that have partial bans ie a limited number of stores are allowed. Out of the states with total bans: New Mexico, Alabama, South Carolina, Louisiana, Texas, Connecticut, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Nebraska, and Oklahoma, 7 are traditionally considered “deep” red states, 1 is considered purple, and 2 blue.

I’ve been to two dealerships in Ohio. I disagree with even a partial ban but limiting the number of stores vs a complete ban are two different things.
