> To put these in two separate categories is extremely disingenuous. There are plenty of Democrats still actively campaigning in rural areas and there are plenty of Republicans railing against "coastal elites."

I think you're the one being disingenuous. Railing against "coastal elites" isn't an attack on urbanites, it's an attack on coastal elites. Moreover, that there are Democrats in rural areas doesn't contradict anything I've said or implied (I didn't claim or imply that rural areas are totally devoid of Democrats--that would be absurd).

> Seriously, have you never looked at the comments section on foxnews.com? A guy literally shot up a pizza parlor looking for a Democrat-run child sex ring. There is plenty of demonization being perpetrated by both sides

It doesn't make sense to rebut "Democrats should court rural voters to gain more senate seats" with "but Republicans are mean too!". I don't dispute that Republicans are meanies too! It's just not productive to weigh the sins of either side, and it's explicitly counterproductive to use "Republicans are meanies" as a reason to defer something actionable today ("Democrats courting rural voters"). This is a loser's mentality.

> Sorry, but one side really has been much, much worse. I never claimed that Democrats were perfect, but you are the one who seems to be justifying an anti-democratic system just because some politicians, at some point, were mean to some country folks.

Don't apologize, I generally agree with you that Rs are worse. My point, per my previous paragraph, is that it's counterproductive to delay progress until we get the whole country to agree about who is worse. We can just stop being dickish to rural voters--that costs nothing.

Anyway, calling the US system "anti-democratic" is absurd, and I'm not sure how to have a reasonable conversation if we're throwing out overt falsehoods. Similarly, the Democratic Party has failed rural and blue-collar Americans for decades and its politicians, pundits, and media have increasingly used rural and blue-collar Americans as the scape goat for virtually every one of our national social ills--if you reduce that to "some Democrat politicians were mean to rural voters" it betrays any appearance of good faith or reasoned participation, and I likewise don't see how this conversation can advance productively.
Didn't know this. And I'm an expressvpn user. Anyone know of any good alternatives?
> Could they remember if they were off or on?

Yes. That is an option. Not a default option because when most people flick a switch ON they expect light. If by default the light would not come on, they would receive a lot of returns. But you can totally set that if option if that is your preference.

> Could they interrogate the switch to see what state they are 'supposed' to be in when power is restored?

What type of switch? The dumb one they know is on. If you have a smart switch they could. But if you have a smart switch why would you not wire the bulbs to be always powered? (always as in when the circuit breaker is ON, not literally always :) )
Welcome to the lives of non US citizens.
Me for one. ZX Spectrum +2 got me into programming. ROI on that home computer must be enormous.
But, but this is the only way to deliver consumer products. This is profitable for corporations and shareholders and users have "nothing to hide" and love it.

Did you realize that the world is a step away from total Panopticon (https://shorturl.at/mCJK2).

The "digital natives" don't care at all.
The "millenials" are just ignorant.
The "X-ers" are fighting to stay relevant and "young".
The "boomers" are screaming from the trenches, but the echo is responding with the usual "OK. Boomer".

It is over. This is the Great Reset, created by Davos Elites
and embraced by Corporations, Governments and "modern" people of the world.

This is the direct result of corrupted societies which abandoned classical education and liberal arts long time ago.
Downvote all you like. I know Tom personally and what I said is true. I am certain this is not the last that we'll hear from him.
I'm sure they can think up an excuse to not let you use your own location data.
I would agree. On a high-traffic discourse-based forum I peruse, both the automatically updating thread pages and the "soandso is typing…" indicators make for posts that are short, IM-like, and generally more combative.

The endless scroll is a problem too. Because nobody wants to scroll through n-hundred posts, you also end up with the same handful of posts being re-made ad infinitum. Old paged style forums suffered from this to some extent but pages being bite-sized lended to more people reading the whole thread.
Checking traffic before you depart also leaks your location, as well as your intended path of travel.
I had the same experience and gave up on trying to find a co-founder in marketing. The only ones that I found were freelancers that provided a questionable quality kind of marketing.
I'm sure you well understand what I mean.
Yeah surely this measurement is for 30Hz video.
I believe according to their privacy policy and from past press statements deleting the data does trigger a real wipe of the data but I think there is a up to 30 day delay (not sure exactly) (wiping data from thousands of servers is actually kind of difficult).

If your threat level is NSA/nation state then this isn't good enough since they probably could get a copy before Google deletes it but it is probably enough to be useless for low level LE.
I know I cant avoid cell companies, but I can at least limit how much Google knows (or any other company that requires always on location). The problem is though, the data I can get from my location history from Google is really useful for me so it's been a privacy trade off I've taken.
Civil suits and criminal cases have different standards of evidence. It maybe that the Sacklers could not be convicted of a felony crime but *may be convicted in a series of massive civil suits.

Could fuchsia, as a google product/project, get the kind of traction that has contributed to the success of Linux? I think it possible, but somehow it doesn’t seem realistic. Would google’s competition flock to using google’s proprietary Linux replacement?
Not _exactly_ what you were asking for, but I use this:

I can export my data and then use that how I want.
If I don't allow my search history to be stored by Google, can police still search it?
I've been using OwnTracks (plus ot-recorder) for a few years now, in parallel with Google's location tracking/timeline, and I find that OwnTracks tends not to update all that well or frequently.

If I switch OwnTracks to "move mode", it's great, but then it drains battery like crazy. "Significant changes mode" doesn't really cut it to map out my track as I move around during the day. And it's especially annoying because I do have it set up to trigger some lights to turn on in my house when I get within 500 feet of home. Sometimes it'll finally trigger an hour or two after I get home, which isn't particularly useful. I've exempted the app from Android's "battery optimization" thing, and I'm using a Pixel 4, which shouldn't have any shenanigans like killing background apps frequently like some other manufacturers do.
A marketer is of no use if nobody needs your product. This developer was lucky that he built something that people wanted. He just failed to reach them. He could have just hired a marketer with right incentives. No need for a co-founder in marketing. You need to talk to customers, which is not optional.
"[W]hat do you think is going on in all of these courtrooms right now? We’re rich? For how long? Until which suits get through to the family? I think [the investment banker’s] advice was just violated in a Virginia courtroom. My thought is to lever up where we can, and try to generate some additional income. We may well need it. . . . Even if we have to keep it in cash, it’s better to have the leverage now while we can get it than thinking it will be there for us when we get sued."[1]

Is it reprehensible only when it impacts you or is it still reprehensible when it's blocking hundreds of spam messages a day you might otherwise be receiving?
I think (hope) that the deterministic model known as lock and key has been known to be a flawed view for quite some time. Books published in the early 00s (notably "Ni Dieu ni gène", by Kupiec and Sonigo) were already making this point in a popular science format, and explaining that even the concept of cells exchanging signals was flawed.

A cell has no evolutionary reason to transmit signals. It will however eat molecules it can use, and excrete molecules that are no longer needed, because this allows the cell to survive and reproduce. A white blood cell eating a bacteria doesn't do so with an intention to protect some organ somewhere in the body, it does so like predator eats prey. Leukocytes who eat well, ie face a bacteria they can eat, then multiply, and end up eating all the bacteria, before dying off when there's nothing more to eat. So they protect the body and then remove themselves, not because they have the intention to do it for the greater good, or because they received a signal, but because they have evolved to prey on bacteria within the ecosystem of the body.

Thinking of the body as a well ordered mechanism is a flawed view, there are no locks and keys, and most likely very few signals if any. Thinking of the body as a dynamically balanced ecosystem seems much closer to how cells behave and to the fantastically complex feedback systems that have evolved over eons and are now balancing the populations of cells in our bodies.

We may be ecosystems of individually oblivious and dumb little cells, but isn't it wondrous that from this emerges a complexity that can say "I" and has consciousness of self?
Is this sarcasm? I have a broken sarcasm detector.

Async iterables are async generators. They call .next() on the iterable, that returns a promise, the promise resolves with either a new item to loop with, or with `done`, which will stop the loop.
My first actually owned was a Timex 2068, although I do remember seeing those ZX 81 maker kits on electronic stores on sale.

I was quite envious from my pals that eventually got +2A and 3 models, specially with the 3 one, having floppies and CP/M version available.

Pity that QL did not work out, nor the Sam Coupé, although the later wasn't related to Sir Clive.

We're in a Utopia. Utopias destroy purpose. Without purpose intelligence can not exist, so the rate of apoptosis surpasses the rate of reproduction. Obesity is a symptom of this, not the cause.

This is Universe 25:

> According to Calhoun, the extinction consisted of two stages: the “first death” — characterized by the loss of purpose in life beyond mere existence (including the loss of desire to mate, raise young, or establish a role within society) — and “second death” marked by the literal end of life and the extinction of Universe 25.

> "Males who failed withdrew physically and psychologically; they became very inactive and aggregated in large pools near the center of the floor of the universe. From this point on they no longer initiated interaction with their established associates, nor did their behavior elicit attack by territorial males," read the paper. "Even so, they became characterized by many wounds and much scar tissue as a result of attacks by other withdrawn males."

This whole thing continues to get worse quick and will continue to get worse. I know people say we need legislation and regulation on data privacy and tech companies which we do. But before that gets taken seriously (at least in the US) it's going to take something real scandalous done by tech companies and actually affect the common folk where they actually start to care.

Right now the average user does not care at all about security and privacy except the small niche groups of us on HN, Reddit and other tech/Geek forums. The regular average user will continue to still use Facebook, Twitter, Google, Apple etc. As long as the average user keeps using their services and vote with their data and wallets I doubt much will change anytime soon.

Until we get some real data privacy laws and regulation we just have to matters into our own hands. I don't use Google search unless I need to, and always have my VPN on (Mullvad).

Edit: Then again, once we did get data privacy laws and regulation could we actually trust the companies and politicians and LE. Probably not. That's why I also feel the laws and regulation needed for tech is more of like a "The public thinks we did something" type of situation. There will still and always will be under the table deals.

If the regular user can realize eventually how they feed these companies with their data and what happens with their data it could also hinder or start to hinder data collection at the government level (NSA, GCHQ, Project Raven and so on).
Still, one of the first signs of a society approaching tyranny is the government cracking down on guns. So if nothing else, it serves as a great canary in the mine.
>What kind of evidence are you expecting to be discovered? Teleconferences where they discuss intentionally killing people by causing overdoses?

I am not a lawyer, but I don't think the state needs to prove intent to kill. It could have been negligence, eg they knew people were getting addicted but declined to change their aggressive marketing tactics.
This advice is soo very wrong. As a programmer you need to think first. The code you write is gonna affect your life maintaining it. So it does affect you or some other developer maintaining it. By actually caring you make things easier for you and your peers and that helps you grow your career.
I don't disagree.

On its own, a contract is only as good as your legal wherewithal to enforce it at "Fuck you, sue me" time.

There are contracts where it won't come to that.

And there's no point in entering into contracts where it will.

$108k is enough money that an individual has incentives to not pay.

$108k is not enough money for a large ongoing enterprise to not pay...so long as it generally pays its bills.

Context matters. It wasn't in the question. My experience is with people not paying.

Smartphones are useful but 15 years ago really weren't the Dark Ages because no one had a modern smartphone in their pocket. Even 25 years ago--before most people had cell phones at all--really weren't wither.

Yes, I carry and use a smartphone. But it's a convenience. I don't need to reach people or have them reach me wherever I am. I don't need GPS at all times. I don't always need instant access to information.
Drawing video took up a very large fraction of the CPU cycles on the ZX81 so there was a 'fast mode' and 'slow mode'. Fast mode cut out video output when programs were running, slow mode left it on and ran at something like 1/4 the speed.

Left/right is an oversimplified model, so it depends on what you mean by right.

By far right I really meant fascist or at least authoritarian reactionary, not libertarian. I don't see the alt-right as libertarian at all. They are mostly reactionary nationalist or racialist collectivists.

> if I want to send HTML mail because it's more expressive and allows the client to rewrap emails to the width of the reader's screen?

I’m almost certain thunderbird soft wraps plaintext emails when composing rather than inserting actual line breaks for that reason.

Besides, shorter lines are easier to read and parse; I’d take an 80 columns width text anytime over a 120+ cols, like more and more people tend to use.
And either way, you end up a lifelong target of these specific billionaires. Plus any other billionaires who don't like the idea of accountability. Plus their minions, fellow travelers, and all the people who believe billionairehood is their true destiny.

How do are these qualitatively different kinds of value?

>> I accept that you can’t see any other way to judge leaders than by examining their written statements.

An alternative is to simply judge their actions, how they treat people, and the results their organization produces by your own values.
I wrote one of the early fastload cartridges for the 1541 (Epyx had the famous one, but mine also did a fast format, and drive to drive backup across two 1541s) and am looking forward to going down memory lane with this talk! Thanks for the share!
I don’t follow Linux kernel developments too closely, but if complexity in the Linux kernel is such a significant factor, then what prevents anyone from relying on a kernel without much of that complexity functionality built in (i.e., custom kernel)?

Are the changes described just too integrated? It’s been a while since it built a custom kernel, but I seem to recall knobs for everything.
Uh oh. Soviet ZX spectrum clone was my first computer, and the first I ever wrote a program on using a built-in basic at an age of 10. This was a magnificent device that brought me a lot of joy. Rest In Peace, Sir Clive.

I think most large companies have written similar tools to deal with various use cases.

As part of a security team I often have the need to query for what instance has been assigned what IP, what team owns what AWS account, which security groups have port X open. You can do all of this using API queries but it's tedious, slow, and you can run the risk of hitting API rate limits. Most of this information is not easily queryable via Terraform and git.

At my last place we had a custom designed tool that would regularly fetch information from the AWS API and our CM servers and store it in a database. At my current place we have a tool that can query from CM but doesn't integrate with the AWS API so we're still doing things manually there. Having this database available via SQL is a tremendous help.

Now, the _write_ side of this I do not have a use case for.
Eric Schmidt also said in a interview back when Google was starting up that they wanted to get Google right up to the "creepy line" but not cross it. This interview was also put in a documentary called "The Creepy Line." I'll see if I can find the interview though and link it to this comment.

Our leaders at the start of 2020 explicitly said to not buy or wear masks [1] in contrast to well established research supporting masks from the 1990s SARs epidemic.

People supporting masks were censored for misinformation.

So you would have been one of those censored at the time, despite being backed by the evidence and correct.

What makes you think such mistakes won't happen again?

I would think the newer 5G modem would help, too.
I'm not, but that's nice. Pattern matching on the source application is actually what I would have preferred (and what I kept looking to see if anything on Windows could provide), but never found anything. Matching on the URL actually works well enough though, which I know because my prior workflow was just a work container tab in Firefox with the Container Proxy extension to proxy only those tabs in that container, and work URLs were set to prefer that Firefox container.

I was actually fairly happy with that, but it's nice to just be able to close the chrome instance with all the work tabs at the end of the day and have them all reopen when I start it up the next day, and all my work tabs are self contained and proxied through work. The only downside is I can't just click to open in Teams or Outlook, and need to copy the link and manually open it in Chrome, which is what I was aiming to fix.
