I would be very surprised if anybody found an experience improvement, considering there are still ads.

That doesn't do to justify tracking, however.

Fun thought experiment: suppose that Facebook served fewer ads to those who clicked to allow tracking, on the basis that the ads are worth more, and served more ads otherwise. Which do you think consumers would prefer to choose on average? This isn't rhetorical, I genuinely wonder because I don't know how much people actually care about tracking versus just picking "don't track me" as an easy win.
No idea why this is downvoted, its spot on.
Off-topic, but do you always use the “sex identifying” construction in place of “men / women”? - it seems a bit inelegant, and if you hold “TWAW” as true also unnecessary.

Not intended as snarky, but I was slightly jarred by the ACLU’s removal of the word “woman” from a Ruth Bader Ginsburg quote yesterday, and wondered whether this was now ‘a thing’ (at least in the US).
> other than the blue bubbles has almost zero effect on communications. SMS text messages work fine and are free. Same for WhatsApp and FB Messenger.

That is simply, objectively, untrue.

There are so many falsities with your statement I don't know where to begin.

Lets start with money transfer. I often use applepay right in iMessage to split bills between parties right at the table. I iMessage them the bill and their portion, and right there through iMessage they reimburse me through apple-pay, right to my bank.

During the last major Hurricane in FL, iMessages would send while SMS and all TEXTING would not. Cellular services were down. Texting was down, but iMessage worked just fine with a WiFi connection.

My interactions on iMessage are saved to iCloud. Prior to switching to Apple devices, in 2016, my work phone was damaged beyond repair at a construction site. All of my texts were saved on device, and not recoverable. This does not and cannot occur on iMessage saved to iCloud.

This is all just off the top of my head, and these are features that are desirable and utilized in iMessage, and not available through sms.

Objectively speaking, your statement about iMessage is just plain wrong.

If you have cash to burn and want a 'status' symbol, why not build a school or a clinic in a developing country? Get your name plaque put on it. Much better bragging rights than an NFT. $10k - $20k to http://thejunipertrust.org should do it.
The issue is not where the matching is done with data gathered on facebook, the issue is whether they can track you accross other apps. They can't anymore, and "matching on the phone" won't make a lick of difference.
.NET Core and later has ValueTask for that usecase.
Option A: applications can continue to do what they’ve done for nearly 30 years and rely on system title bars. This will work everywhere — X11 GNOME, KDE, SwayWM, macOS, Windows, BeOS,… except GNOME on Wayland, and it will feel native.

Option B: applications can choose between GTK 3/4 (not exactly a fan favorite) and get native looking title bars only on GNOME (without extra work — also only supports an out-of-date spec for native window frames on Wayland) or they can use libdecoration (or libdecor or whatever) which appears to be persistently not ready for prime time, and will still not look native in most Wayland compositors.

Honest to goodness, apps should just force themselves into X11 mode on GNOME until the compositor is fixed. The CSD initiative is a broken idea.
It’s close enough to my day job that I don’t really do much coding anymore. I burned out pretty hard on it a decade ago so it just feels like work. I scratch that itch with other things now (music, competition shooting, community activism). There are plenty other ways to exercise an analytical mind.

This is insane. They must be super-efficient because I can't give an SO-quality answer to a question in under an hour.

With aphantasia, you simply cannot "visualise" the way other people "visualise". But you can still "visualise". Not using images but using the other mechanisms you developed.

Many people with aphantasia are unaware of it because they can function just fine and have workarounds that fills almost all their needs. They simply cannot add an image to it.

Personally, I can make memory palace work fine. There's simply no image, so it rely a lot on the same "path finding" the brain uses to allow me to walk around town without getting lost. I like to joke that my GPU is broken but my CPU works fine.

So, for the sake of etymology I guess it would not be visualise but factualize or some other word.

I think the core of the analogy is solid, that both AT&T and Google are monopoly providers of communications infrastructure - with divergent growth paths and business models.

To me the spoof does a good job of outlining how google's model is inherently somewhat predatory, and is that way precisely because it grew by starting out free.

It's intriguing to consider that the important public service of searching for services and products (which is most of Google's revenue) could be financed in a more transparent and straightforward way.

Does whether or not they are relevant blogs to the role or industry matter at all to you? My gut feeling is that you would get a better read on the personality of a candidate when they send you links that have little or nothing to do with the job they're applying for. All three links to industry-relevant blogs will tell me is that this candidate aims to please for obvious self-advancement reasons.
Framing matters. What if instead the message was “You’re paying 30% more than the developer wants for EVERY digital good you buy on iPhone. Forever. “ and “We are the wealthiest company in the world and this portion of our business operates at a 75% profit margin but cannot protect you from fraud.”

Does that logic applies in China? Are real state or equities a protection from volatility on a self proclaimed communist country? What about South America, Lebanon or Turkey?

Can someone recommend a good overview of modern filesystems that covers performance and licensing issues? I liked this article but was left with the question "so what else do you use?"

It's been awhile (too long really) since I really tried to read up on this area. Last time I did I concluded that it was sort of a mess but lots of things were still in progress.
> Further to this, you claim that you have been compromised on HUNDREDS of sites even though you use a unique password everywhere?

It’s not too far-fetched.

I’ve been compromised on dozens of sites out of ~1.500 sites on which I have accounts, all of them with unique email addresses and unique passwords. Those dozens accounts are just those I happen to know about (through HIBP, incoming email spam, or the occasional site owner’s disclosure) so they’re probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Sites are being breached left and right. If you’re lucky, the site owner tells you. Many won’t.
Agreed. On top of that, I still have no idea what the language even looks like. I clicked around for a while and couldn’t find a clear bit of example code. I looked through the first few pages of the tutorial but all it showed me was individual lines of code for individual features. I just wanted to see what a little program would look like. I gave up.
Another good resource is The Memory Book[0]. It covers a few different systems that cover different scenarios, such as lists, like in the article, names and numbers. It uses techniques like the article, but also expands on them in interesting ways. If you put the practice time in, it does work!

I think the biggest part is enforcement, which is confounded by the fact that many of these politicians can pull strings for and against the people who are supposed to do the enforcement.

Is anyone at the SEC really going to use resources to piss off a congressperson by investigating whether their nephew's father-in-law used insider information when they made a certain trade?

Not if they have other cases they can spend their resources on which won't potentially hinder their own careers.
If only we had some sort of technology to monitor social networks and large amounts of data...
Doubt it. There are so many issues with any technology regarding non-invasive. Is it still accurate if the individual has a fever? etc. etc. There were at least 50 companies that tried to build such devices, some start-ups had funding in the 50-100 million USD range - and failed. Samsung abandoned it. Apple is rumored to work on it.

Also, without clinical trials you really can't claim this device is reliable. You would also have to compare to real blood glucose and not the finger prick test.
I think they do both. I mean, the gross misreporting of the numbers, AND the harsh lockdown measures.
I don't get this post. You listed several rational reasons why it has no tool to do that:

>GIMP is free software, its lack of funding, that (allegedly) those tools are irrelevant

If you have a specific feature request, you might consider checking the bug tracker for an existing issue. If there is one, then it's not helpful to mention it any further. The developers already know what the request is. From that point on the only helpful thing you can do is to contribute code, designs, etc towards getting the feature done.

To illustrate, have you ever had somebody sitting behind you while you work who keeps repeatedly saying things like "are you working on that thing for me yet? are you done yet? when will you be done?" until you finish? It's kind of like that. Doing that doesn't help the person go any faster.

This is the case in banks, and where I work they're also not allowed to trade single stocks - funds, etfs etc only. If banks can manage, so can politicians.
The QueueProcessor example could have been written using channels, which expose async APIs.

Otherwise, as others have commented, I despise how async/await is "95% done". The remaining 5% will come to bite haunt you and the documentation is less than satisfiyng. E.g., how does TaskScheduler interact with async? Nowhere documented, except answered on StackOverflow by Stephen Cleary that "it should work".

I prefer Java's CompletableFuture and Executors. It's more verbose, but at least there's no hidden magic. From the documentation you can infer exactly how it'll behave.
So if you think the risk of permanently losing your assets via legal channels is, let's say, 99-to-1 compared to the risk of losing your assets to cryptocurrency attacks, then wouldn't it make sense to hold 99% of your assets in the bank and 1% in cryptocurrencies?

Cryptocurrencies don't have to replace all existing financial instruments to be a useful hedge. They can just be one tool of many to diversify your risk profile.

Especially consider that for people living outside the developed world, the risk of having your assets stolen through legal channels is going to be much higher.
"Make a company"? You mean they would own it? That's obviously the same thing. That would be as illegal as owning any other stock.

Spouses trading is as simple to monitor as it is for all other insider trading.

But more importantly: if there was a ban, or even a recommendation against it, and the media did its job, then being caught making peronal financial gain from your political office would make you unelectable. The strange thing about US politics is that it's not just accepted but expected. This is the cultural change that's needed.

Whether or not there are legal loopholes shouldn't matter so much. Politicians are scrutinized by media and judged by the public. Courts aren't even required.

There’s not a lot of content to be exchanged between Siberia and Alaska. And running long stretches of fiber over land is actually more costly and subject to failure than under the sea, so going from Moscow -> Vladivostok (or something) over land, then going subsea, and then Alaska -> West-coast US over land, is not really beneficial.
You are alluding to PoS i assume. I never really understood that argument. How is wealth getting concentrated when the relative distribution of coins stays exactly the same?
>And hospitals don't even work that way, because they itemize their eventual bills to insurance companies.
>Are hospitals giving itemized bills to insurance companies or not?

Hospitals can provide an itemized bill after the fact. Not before. They also go back and forth with insurance companies multiple times. It's not actually based on the costs to the hospital. The final itemized bill is the end result of complex negotiation. It isn't actually based on cost.

>"who cares about the individual procedures you performed or what a technician's hourly rate is"

Insurance companies don't care what a technician's hourly rate is.

>I'm asking them to tell me what the maximum amount is they want for a standardized procedure. Possible rebates or lower prices that they can't predict are fine. I want a max price for that specific item.

No surgery is standardized. If you literally want the max price, it's going to be so high you'll never be able to pay it. It won't help you. The individual items don't matter--they're fiction.

>Then socialize it. If you want to argue that the free market isn't a good fit for health care, fine. But that's not really an argument for keeping prices secret, it's an argument for socializing health care and taking it off the free market.

It's not. And it should be public. As long as it's not a free market, none of the normally price discovery mechanisms work at any level in the supply chain. There's no way to provide prices upfront. Any attempt to will fail is just a colossal waste of time. Any list of prices you see is going to be an elaborate piece of fiction.

>To those people, to the people who reduced their bills, yes.

Those people didn't actually reduce their bills because of itemized pricing. They would likely have been able to reduce them regardless. They negotiated with the hospital successfully after the fact the same way an insurance company would.

Hospitals are usually willing to negotiate a bill because they'd rather have some money than none. Whether that's knocking off a line item for $500 aspirin, or nocking 10% off off an opaque $5,000 bill makes no difference.

>Which, incidentally, if your position is that health care should be socialized, line-item pricing also helps with that because it makes it obvious that the pricing is screwed up.

Average prices for procedures can be calculated after the fact. They can be useful in the aggregate. For non commoditized services the averages aren't remotely useful for an individual.
"Luxury" is definitely the way to describe it.

I've had people recommend me Linux phones again and again in tech circles. Not only are they absurdly out of my price range (I paid $150 for my current phone, used), they are incredibly underpowered, buggy, and the software just... Isn't. There is no software for them.

A Linux phone simply cannot serve as a replacement for an Android or iPhone in the current market. They just cannot do the things most people need from their phones. They're something for Linux fans to cream themselves over and tinker with, but I'll bet you won't see any of the people who recommend these phones ever actually using them.

It's the most blatant example of insider trading. Company insiders might have inside access to a single company. Lawmakers have access to inside information that can affect the entire industry or market.

It's a perfect example of how we do have class stratification in society and that rule of law and equality are laughably distant ideas in a sea of hypocrisy.

There is a tragedy of the commons at play, of which 'defund the police' is but the last installment. The local Seattle prosecutor was notorious for years for not prosecuting crime.

Seattle hasn't even experienced 'defund the police' to its fullest extent, the worst is yet to come.

I imagine the physical footprint of large-scale mining operations will make it easy to find miners. And as Chinese companies looking to operate on the internet need to acquire a license from the Government, they're probably less likely to risk their whole business for crypto payments/trading.
Indeed. They are giving trinkets to the natives for their land. Maybe we need to educate the natives on how valuable their land actually is.
Well they only publish trades ~30 days later. There's no real chance of front-running a politician and for all you know they could've closed their position before the 30 day period ended. Plus, if people follow them into the trade (i.e. people buy because Pelosi bought) that only moves the price in the politician's favor. It's not like politicians are running crazy strategies that you can figure out from their trades, so I can't really imagine it creating any incentive to hide trades

If one party won all districts 299, and had 0% of the party vote. You would come up with 897 seats in the Bundestag... which is not far from the expected seat number new week.
