Not giving equity to employees is fine by me - but it can certainly be “questioned” from a moral standpoint. (Though I think you mean “morally questionable” as euphemism for “morally wrong”)

Selling to Intuit is not fine by me - and i consider it morally questionable in both senses of the term.
Look at the exploits Google's Project Zero find for a less clandestine example. No doubt they employ clever people but you don't have to be superhuman to find vulnerabilities in code. Part of it is paying people to sit down and work on it fulltime.

An interesting quote:

https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/12/an-ios-zero-c...

"This has been the longest solo exploitation project I've ever worked on, taking around half a year. But it's important to emphasize up front that the teams and companies supplying the global trade in cyberweapons like this one aren't typically just individuals working alone. They're well-resourced and focused teams of collaborating experts, each with their own specialization. They aren't starting with absolutely no clue how bluetooth or wifi work. They also potentially have access to information and hardware I simply don't have, like development devices, special cables, leaked source code, symbols files and so on."
And there will be obviously be people in the USA who do not get the vaccine for various reasons who will die if better treatments are not found.
I think much of Intuit’s “regulatory capture” is on TurboTax, and it’s offering for small businesses (Quickbooks) is actually a very competitive marketplace with other actors such as Square, PayPal, Wix, and Stripe actively expanding into each other’s markets.

In the next decade there will be market capture for one or two companies of the entire sub 50 employee retail business market segment. Everything from food trucks to floral shops will have one monthly subscription that covers pos system, employee scheduling/payroll, invoicing, tax, and much more in a platform of tools that resembles AWS or Azure. This is clearly Quickbooks expanding into fulfilling marketing needs for their clients.

Keep in mind it’s competitive in two ways. If businesses running Square have a competitive advantage because of tooling compared to businesses running Quickbooks than Quickbooks will suffer more churn and lose in the long run to Square.
V.I.P. and 5.8MM is an oxymoron. In any case, I guess they want to please large swaths of users by censoring their platform but at the same time not lose their high profile users by normally deplatforming them as they would have had their TOS been applied evenly.

We all knew that there were a lot of people who got away with the same thing for which others were suspended for, so it's only confirmation and not surprising.
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted here, twitter is a pretty user-hostile platform for anyone who doesn't have an account, or you're a mobile user who doesn't want to install their app on your phone. Read access can/is restricted based on your platform, unless you're logged in. It's also difficult to search for specific issues/read threads, etc. There's better forum-style models to use for support.

In theory that sponsorship money could stay local, if the people who saved money by buying cars direct from Ford gave it personally to the local sports teams instead of giving it to Bob first.

This does make me think a bit more about the requirements beyond WYSIWYG -- photo editing/hosting (maybe Gmail does have this built in to their WYSIWYG?), templates, pre-built components, fine grained "styling" controls (think button styles, image groups, TOC, etc.). All of that is pretty much out of the box with MailChimp. I initially customized a predefined template with the WYISWYG, saved my own template from that, and now can easily send a new email using it including making small one-off tweaks as desired.
It makes me sad that FF browser share has continued to decline steadily. The past couple years of releases have been some its the best in terms of my own UX, since perhaps the Phoenix era.

It's pretty fast these days, the UI is good, has a lot of great extensions and privacy features.

I use Brave at work to have a better chrome-based experience with gsuite. It's also a fast, excellent browser with good privacy features, built-in ad/tracker blocking and for the time being seems to be user-not-revenue-first.

But using a non-free browser feels like a trap to me. Just as what happened with Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Netscape before, being the middle man between the user and the rest of the internet is just too tempting for any company not to try to leverage for their own advantage.

FF hasn't been always perfect, but for 20 years now they have made a browser that didn't have a shady corporate agenda. It feels like the writing is on the wall though. Even people I know who care about FLOSS are using Chrome as their daily driver these days.

Mozilla is great and I hope they continue to focus on building a best-in-class browser.

Yeah, I generally agree with you. Youtube and Twitter have the same issues, and I think Reddit too. (Does TikTok?) I don't know if the extent is as broad. Or how possible it is to use each platform for its purpose without running into those problems.

added: I remember when Facebook switched from showing a chronological timeline to "the algorithm". That turned out to be a monumental paradigm shift.
The real reason is to attract and onboard people onto the platform. Part of me always felt they should of just put a functional wrapper on their APIs, have an API that avoids the mutative fluent interface, and then just show some F# examples. Especially for people outside the .NET ecosystem it would show how terse, yet performant and feature rich the platform actually is. It would compare well to examples from other langs/ecosystems.

In the workplaces I've been in newer developers typically try then abandon the OO paradigm. They've seen they can get by without it and get decent performance, and there is a learning curve which experienced people have already paid for and typically then take for granted (patterns, DI, class structure, interfaces vs abstract classes, etc etc etc).

French high school was perfectly fine for me. At least from a social point of view. By the time they reach high school, kids are little more mature and respectful. Probably not the best time of my life but not too bad either.

However, it was a lot of wasted time sitting in classrooms daydreaming. This time could have been spent much more productively. But we don't have any better.

I’m not sure why these comments are being downvoted - this is a serious issue in rural America in particular.

There have been multiple protests by healthcare workers near me opposed to the mandate, with dozens wearing scrubs and holding signs saying they will choose to be terminated rather than be vaccinated.

Regardless of how you view their beliefs, it’s readily apparent that the mandate will negatively impact staffing.
I got warned for hate speech on FB for saying in a comment that Americans have the memory of a goldfish. I appealed it, the appeal was declined and my hate speech warning remains on my permanent FB record as being against community standards.

Pretty comical, considering it was accurate in context, and while you'd think American 1st amendment free speech rights would count, they don't, because FB is the private property of Zuckerberg.

No need for someone to point out that it's a publicly traded company. Zuckerberg controls 57.9% of the voting shares of FB. It is his personal property that he allows others to have an inconsequential piece of and everything that is wrong on the platform is because of him.
This has reached vague-booking level of OS drama:

Not at all. I got a few of my old BlackBerry's out last year during lockdown when I had a big organise in my home office. I charged and powered a few on because nostalgia hit a bit plus I had time to kill with being in lockdown.

Using them for just a few hours I realised how bad they are. The screens were awful, navigation was horrible, the keyboard hurt the tips of my thumbs and they were slow. So so slow. I don't remember them being quite as slow so perhaps it is battery related (although they were plugged in) but it wasn't great waiting 5 seconds for an attachment to load when I am used to it being instant on my 3 year old iPhone.

I know we are spoilt now with HiDPI screens and stupidly fast mobile SoC's but they really were horrible devices looking back.

Perhaps language such as "horrible" is unfair but it is the adjective that first popped into my head to describe the experience.
This is great. As someone who has had to parse GRIB data before, well.. I don't want to do it again :D

Thanks for pointing me towards ASTC HDR. I did not know this one. Compression will be an important part to build a longer historic database. I tested zstd, but it only had a ratio of 30%.

Currently I am using fixed size files, because I update all weather data "in-place". I can calculate which bytes to read for a given geographic location. If data is compressed, this would be very hard to do.
Possibly but even if so it's just in a few examples that probably won't be repeated in the future now that it's known.
Yes, I've seen plenty of these studies but all of them have too many variables at play. Actual proof that meat is bad is very foggy at best.

Yes, this is why I suggested compressed textures, they are fixed size too. You know exactly which bytes to read (or write) for any given pixel. But they can still achieve high compression ratios assuming the data is suitable, which I expect weather data is.

So does the community agree with your stance? A majority of them? Or are you forcing your opinion on the majority by taking action in their name without knowing their stance on the subject?

I have to be honest, it's hard to understand what makes you think you've the right to make these demands of the the community and the leadership. Perhaps it's all much more obvious to someone with more knowledge of the situation, or if you put forth more info that you assume people know, but from the outside nothing you've stated really makes your actions sound justified to my eyes.

> And as stated publicly, we're ready to transfer them to a single entity. It just can't be the current ones.

Honestly, this just sounds like you're holding something hostage and arguing in bad faith. "Sure we'll give back what we took, just not to you because we don't like you, which is why we took it, so designate someone else and we promise we'll give your stuff to them."

The National Geographic article has a point of view. This is evident from its very title "[t]he shaky science behind ivermectin as a COVID-19 cure"; we may expect the content of the article to be biased toward making the case that the hypothesis is shaky.

I posted it not because I care about its point of view, but because it was one of the first items I was able to find quickly which provides a synopsis of what I was looking for: the origins of the ivermectin hypotheses in respect to COVID.

I'm not really happy promoting a cryptocurrency these days, given that most of them are get-rich-quick schemes, but Monero has been solid for the past 5-6 years that I've been using it. It's completely anonymous, sends quickly, has minimal fees, and it hasn't been as full of cultists as some of the other coins I've seen.

I use it to pay for some things and it's always a pleasant experience. I recommend it. The only downside is that, due to the anonymity, the clients aren't as convenient (because the server can't know your transactions, it's hard to have "light clients").

MyMonero works really well, though: https://mymonero.com/

I am not straw manning.

I have read oceans of anti-masker afguments. Some claim they don't believe they are harming people, and some of those may actually believe it. But the question is whether they have a justified, true belief. They don't. They are all clearly aware of the potential of harm, and the science is pretty clear. Even for the ones who truly believe it, they have to admit that they could be wrong and are going ahead anyhow, so we are back in the "regardless of harm to others" bucket.

And that's not even counting the large number of people who are aware of the possibility of death and are perfectly fine with it. You could look at the Texas Governor speaking proudly about it's ok to sacrifice some old people as long as we're preserving American freedom. Or the Florida governor who banned mask mandates saying, "That’s ultimately an individual's choice to be able to do [vaccines]... And so, I think the question is, we can either have a free society or we can have a biomedical security state. And I can tell you, Florida, we’re a free state."

And masking is just the most dramatic recent example. The history of slavery is super clear. Ditto the history of workplace safety. Or we could look at the societal shifts against drunk driving and secondhand smoke. Both of those were indulged for decades despite high body counts. The shift for each took decades and was fought all the way by people who valued their freedom to do whatever they wanted without regard to harm to others. Including by executives and lobbyists who were well placed to be informed about the actual harm but still worked to keep the laws in their favor without regard to body count.

I agree that all of these people care about some of their fellow humans. They're not monsters. But what they do have is a (learned and often cultivated) lack of empathy for people seen as "other". Which is why we are slowly seeing mask and vaccine resistance decline, along with plenty of deathbed pleas to get the vaccine and for others to get the vaccine.
OT, but does anyone know how Yahoo managed to auto-play videos in Chrome without user interaction? I thought this had been blocked since years ago.
It looks like the whole "treatment plan" is only to scare more people into getting vaccines by letting people die.

When I had Covid I went to urgent care to get tested. They sent me home with a paper that said I had Covid and told me to take Tylenol. Everyone I know that has contracted Covid has received the same "treatment" no matter the age. This is why some people are dying.

Compare that with someone like Trump or Joe Rogan. It's not even a money thing, you have to convince doctors to even treat you for this thing. By the time you got to ER Ivermectin (or whatever the antiviral flavor of the month is) or monoclonal antibodies aren't that effective.
>I'm curious if you consider this an issue of Facebook or of social media in general.

I think that a lot of people who had the privilege to be on the Internet before the age of engagement-maximizing algorithms feel that the overall mood was less inflammatory and the prevalence of intentional misinformation much lower. Because these algorithms can reward people who are willing to be misleading or abusive to attract attention, there is a concern that these kinds of misbehavior are encouraged by the application of engagement-maximizing sorting to user-generated content.

Facebook participated in the arms race to develop these algorithms much as the Turks and Hungarians developed the use of single-user firearms (arquebus/matchlock) in warfare, by necessity of competition, but are no less responsible than anyone else. The fundamental challenge is whether these algorithms must be fundamentally modified or restricted to prevent their tendency to support bad actors or whether, as the platform operators seem to be insisting, the problem can be managed by post hoc content moderation without limiting the behavior of the algorithm.

Because there is a wall of trade secrets and a sense of geopolitical competition, regulators have not been able to manage this situation in a manner that yields satisfactory results. So we lament this situation where Facebook appears to be chasing profits at the expense of the political stability of modern democracies, and while Google/Reddit/Twitter may be similarly responsible, this article happens to be about Facebook.
