I agree with the comments that a subscription model and delivery through the Apple's app store seem at odds with the 'with data longevity in mind' objective.

Requiring a subscription makes me ask what happens when you stop supporting the project? Relying on the App Store makes me wonder what happens when Apple decides to ban your developer account?

I'm not saying these are dealbreakers, but I'd like to have some sort of answer to these concerns.

Having a self-hosted way to download and pay for the app would increase my confidence level, even if I did decide to purchase through the app store. Similarly, there are 'subscription' apps that let the user keep using the latest version of the app if they cancel the subscription, they are just no longer able to get updates. You can also make a pledge to open-source the app if once you're no longer commercially supporting it.
It's not the amount. It's the ratio. They overpaid by over 47 times. A company filled with world class lawyers and business executives, as well as an experienced board does that? Why?
I think the implication is their territory was shrunken from a larger area and now occupy a small corner.

And the map of the middle east avoids Ottoman/Turk and British doings.
If a product is available in the Mac App Store only, it gets tricky because you can provide the US price, but all other prices are generated by Apple in relation to the US price for other regions. This can cause confusion. Been there, done that. It's a tricky situation even for the developer.
The Power of Blockchain in Digital Marketing
The blockchain or blockchain will benefit all marketing in a positive way by improving privacy protection. All customers will trust and increase trust in the organization's services, as the advertisements are secure and the information provided is encrypted.

The purpose of blockchain is to improve privacy protection having several benefits for the organization. For blockchain technology to work effectively, it depends on the nature of the technology itself.

From what I just saw on their website it looks like an other way to implement what an IO monad in Haskell gives you, which is to write code that pretends functions that in reality have side effects are pure. This is achieved in part by passing around some Context (World in Haskell) that encapsulates the "state of the world" onto which the side effects act upon.

Have you found any issues with Reactor, areas where it's behind Hotwire, etc?

> At first glance, this appears to be much more complex. React is a relatively simple DOM diffing library.

Their implementation is 2k lines of code. The React repo has 350k lines of code. The Rails repo has 336k lines of code (both of those according to tokei). Of course this includes tests, lots of other stuff, etc. But still, that's two orders of magnitude.

If Google personalizes your data, but doesn't pipe it into ads.google.com, then it's not ads data.

> how can I verify you are right to say so?

I mean, you could say "how can I verify Google isn't using my Google password to decrypt my Chrome data and pipe it into Google Ads", but you'd have no way of verifying that, besides taking their word for it. https://variety.com/2017/digital/news/google-gmail-ads-email...
Most car manufacturers offer EV vehicles - some have announced the target year for ending manufacturing of combustion engines. Production lines for combustion engines are becoming stranded assets. Yes, tax rebates acted as the activation energy. But what you are seeing is a change that already self-sustaining. In parts of the world EVs vehicles already outsell ICE-cars by a good margin.

The average lifetime of a car is about 12 years.

(As for Toyota, they are actually notable for being laggards, having dragged their feet, wasted time on dead-end hydrogen technology)

What you are seeing is the foot of an S-curve. It isn't unusual for people who don't look at what goes on in industries to miss that.

People missed that for the Internet for nearly a decade. And then it permeated most of their life.
I agree with this - I can only have so many subscriptions and unfortunately a notes up is not top priority even though it looks really nice.
Why make “wild guesses” about things that can be verified easily?

“Thanks to millions of vaccinations, California’s economy is open. There are no county tiers, capacity limits, or physical distancing requirements” - https://covid19.ca.gov/safely-reopening/

The only new restrictions I’m aware of is verifying people are vaccinated. Given ca’s vacs rate that shouldn’t be a huge issue.

My guess would be this was caused by the delta variant concerns by companies and individuals, not any restrictions. Companies pushed back their back to office and we didn’t see a delta surge like elsewhere and that could be due to personal choices which prevented the surge being as significant but also cut commerce back a bit.

Edit: Jeeze downvotes for pointing out its not state restrictions. Everyone really wants to bag on CA govt regardless of what’s actually happening.
The choice isn't cars or no cars, that's a completely false dichotomy.

Apologies for reading too much into your comment, then. Many in SF seemed to espouse just such a dichotomy.

People in the US are so car-addled that when I suggest something like this, they can't even imagine a life where they can buy groceries without using a car. It's quite shocking!

I lived in downtown SF, walked to the grocery store, etc. I do miss being able to take BART and not having to have a DD, but otherwise I prefer the unscheduled nature of car life for all the quotidian practical needs. Even in SF, transit wouldn't get me to the beach or to hiking, etc. unless maybe I wanted to wait for an hour and have to walk way too far at both ends.

I think it's a case of most people have a finite amount of really productive time in them per day and once it's exhausted trying to squeeze more out is counter productive.

What do you fill the rest of the time with?

If you accept you have a finite limit of really good productive time per day in you, it becomes easy, focus on supporting that and making sure you achieve what you can during that productive time then slack off for the rest of the day.
Implementing Saline Gargle Sample Collection for Covid-19 Testing
Do you have any plans to open source this? I love the function and have always wished something like this exists. I have my own dumb opinions on resumes like format and multiple pages, so I'd like to be able to tweak the design a bit.
I am a privacy-conscious person but I really wish these debates could be a little more nuanced.

This API is behind a permission prompt that can only be triggered in response to a user gesture, so the bar to entry is high. The example on web.dev is a chat app that would automatically set an active/away status: seems useful! IMO I ought to have the ability to cash in some of my privacy chips (so to speak) on a site that I know and trust and that I want extra functionality from.

Relatedly, I feel like Safari is heavy-handed in the opposite direction. For example, it removes all locally stored data from a site if it isn't used within 7 days. There are sites I use less frequently than that where I'd still appreciate the ability to save information, but I don't have a choice. It all but guarantees sites need logins, backend storage etc. just to store simple data, which ends up being just as big a privacy danger!
That isn’t Thiel’s position.
Just got my Plaid 2 days ago. I already feel uncomfortable about how it changes lanes and merges into lanes. Def making other drivers notice something is up with the way it steers, especially during traffic. Not even talking about city streets.

Also noticing that other drivers leave a lot more space instantly, and let me pass as soon as the turn signal is on, not sure if they are worried about it being on Autopilot.
I like archive.org being linked, though. It's an inoculation against pages eventually going down
The “Matrix Color” Formula
Okay, do this with other charts. They all look the same.

Nobody's ever done this before. Nobody knows if it works. And it really isn't the critics job to prove that restrictions don't work. It's upon all these people enacting to them to prove they actually work, and do so in a level that justifies their immense social cost. To date, people who point this out are harassed, bullied, mocked and gaslit.

Society is participating in a huge uncontrolled experiment... and nobody even consented to it. Neat, ain't it?

Hi Victor! This is such a great project. I posted a comment elsewhere about why I like it so much.

Will you be releasing more info about your research methods and pedagogical theory? Really interested to know more about how you make the sausage.

Also, wrt to Africa specifically, I do remember when I was doing history grad school about 10 years ago that one of the more provocative hypotheses at the time was that some or all tribes may be colonial constructs. Curious if you've engaged with that hypothesis, and more generally how you're going about mapping territories in Africa.

Great work, and I hope that you persevere and not let the haters get to you.

P.S.: Are you looking for any volunteers? I do full-stack web dev and have experience w/ Mapbox.
Awesome! So what does this mean for me? Will I be able to launch Apex legends without getting booted right now? How long will i need to wait for my favorite games to start working?

> If you're watching YT and think you are not seeing ads, then you're being foiled.

Actually running an ad blocker/paying for Premium means you aren't seeing ads, pushed by Google. Any creator might be showing you sponsorships/product placements of course, and Google has no say in that.
> I dunno, sounds like employing one person that is almost 4 times as productive for less than half a cost would be overall good move.

Why assume that the worker is four times as productive? Even if the same number of transactions occur because everyone goes to the one open shop, we've still destroyed 64K of GDP by canning four employees.

> Specially when the 4 couldn't properly pay their living costs.

The 4 people working for $8/hour were contributing 64K per year to paying their living costs. By destroying their jobs have you made them better able to properly pay their living costs? Of course not, you've merely transferred the cost of supporting them to some other poor schmuck.

Reducing economic activity and raising taxes is not a recipe for increased prosperity.
I assume that affected games need to be patched to include a newer EAC.
So, what we have is the artwork. The artwork, as a digital artifact, continues to exist as long as there is a copy of it anywhere. A copy that was hosted at a particular URL may cease to exist, though.

"Buying a URL" doesn't make sense because there's no transfer of rights. I already have the URL! There's no meaningful mechanism by which I can take control of the URL, and there are no rights over the URL that anyone can sell to me. The reason people mock the idea of "buying a URL" is because they rightly observe that it doesn't make sense.

The value of the record is not directly related to the URL. The value of the record is that it has the artist's signature on it (or the signature of someone I believe to be the artist, or the artist's designated agent; fraud is definitely possible here!). Notably, the URL does not have the artist's signature on it (how could it? This also does not make sense as an idea). The artwork pointed to by the URL might or might not have the artist's signature on it, but if it does then the signature is easily copyable, because the image itself is easily copyable.

The thing that is not easily copyable is the blockchain record. This is because it contains an encrypted transaction signed by the artist's key, and I can't make a duplicate of this unless I have the artist's private key.

If I'm buying an NFT, I'm doing it because I think the artwork is going to be popular or important in some way. If this is true, there are going to be many copies of it. I don't really care about what happens to any single copy, even if it's the copy that was presented as the reference copy at the time I bought the NFT. If I'm truly concerned that the image might disappear entirely, I will download a copy to my laptop and save some backups. If it turns out that the thing I bought was so unpopular and unimportant that months later nobody anywhere saved a copy of it, then I suppose that sucks for me.
Make units like meters their own custom type for type safety - what a smart idea!
In a perfect world yes and any good IT department will lock down systems appropriately. But every sufficiently sized org, and many small ones will have shadow IT. There is also the issue of much of the ware pushed through these channels actively tries to circumvent controls. Its not uncommon to find hapless users with adware on their system that managed to get around UAC and group policy. You can always lock down more but security has to be balanced with productivity and user education will always be an important part.

I'm from the UK and was well aware, I think you may be surprised at how common this knowledge is. I worked in a bat in Sydney Australia that was decorated with a mosaic swastika and had signs up explaining it was built by Hindus ore WW2. AOf course they didn't build it as a bar originally.
Racist people don't magically become unbiased in the workplace. I would not inflict a racist manager on a direct report who would be the target of that racism. Even if the manager isn't overtly throwing around racist slurs, to it's vanishingly unlikely they'd set their biases aside when it comes to promotion time (for example).

Your characterization of racism as a "belief" is alarming.
It was the mouse for me as well. It started to cause sharp pain on the underside of my right elbow. The problem seemed to be the numeric pad on the right side of the keyboard, which pushes the mouse slightly further away from my body, stretching my arm slightly further out.

The solution was to switch my mouse to the left side, where it could be slightly closer to my body. It took a few months of getting used to, but after 10-20 years (can't remember), I've never had pain on my left arm. I have tried going back to right side a few times, just out of curiosity, and the pain on the right arm will come back after a few months.
As a user, that's fine by me -- as long as nobody is forced to take an update.
I think one could make the case that social security, Medicare and Medicaid are safety net programs. That said, I don’t think that means these taxes would necessarily go to help the poor.

Edit - bad spellcheck edit
My takeaway was that Concepts have Contexts. The problem is that the Context may vary from person to person. Kinda like an n-gram, where n can vary between people.

Later, I read Lotfi Zadeh who treated Concepts as a kind of probability distribution. Such as mapping someone's height, described as "short", "tall", "very tall", to a range measured in centimeters. Pygmies and Belgians may vary.

Now days, I guess we'd use word embeddings.
In this sense it's same as what microsoft is trying to do with Blazor - except they are skipping whole javascript crap and compile to wasm.
Often they're boring and low production value. I've watched a few courses that were nearly as compelling as a TV show. Once you realize that's possible you really miss it in normal courses.
This is laughably false, if the government just created infinite money the money would be worthless, would cause runaway inflation and could not be used to build anything

Fiat Currency requires a careful balance of fraud like pozi scheme to convince people that is is worth something, if they did away with the "myth" as you call it then the entire fraud would collapse like pozi schemes normally do

So you are objectively wrong that the government can create money at will, while technically true they do so at the risk of complete monetary collapse
Imagine I only visit websites like the New York Times.

If an evildoer with a browser 0-day wants to target me, without an ad blocker any of a thousand companies can pay a few cents to have their javascript served to me. If I run an adblocker, there are a lot fewer ways to get their code in front of me.

A statistical argument, in other words - that being exposed to code from 10 vendors is safer than being exposed to code from 1000 vendors.
Ok, I understand (a). Regarding (b) I guess I don't fully understand their implementation, but are you suggesting that any 3rd party app could implement the payments? I guess if any app or user can pull the twitter user's lightning address one can tip then yeah I guess so. So I guess they are just using "Strike" as an officially-supported app?
This appears to be correct.

We make languages and compilers the way we do for reasons.

But it is a mistake to confuse what automation hides from you, for practical reasons, with fundamental qualities of the universe or of computation.

Another common example of the error is describing an algorithm as N log N, assuming that the numbers involved occupy constant space and multiply in constant time. In real-world computation, space tends to log N, and multiply in close to (log N)^2 time and power consumption. We get away with it for the same reason recursion works: the problems we apply our algorithms to usually fit in conveniently constrained space, and our multiplier hardware takes the same time and power for small numbers as for the biggest ones we can conveniently represent.

Right, and in the absence of evidence making assumptions is a very natural human thing to do. But eth0up went through the trouble of finding pretty compelling evidence that the data was not being used for advertising purposes, quoted it, and still chose to believe the opposite.
No that's nonsense. The ships will still have all the same fire fighting equipment and they will continue the same damage control training for crews. If this fuel synthesis technology is built into future aircraft carriers then they won't be any smaller or cheaper. The large size is a requirement to maintain high sortie rates and handle rough seas, and reducing the size wouldn't significantly reduce costs (steel is cheap). If anything they will be more expensive due to the complex machinery and increased power generation requirements.

Way to move the goalposts. Your typical laptop/desktop does not have ECC RAM. You're also not using mirrored ZFS anyway. So not only will you never detect corruption, but you have no way to correct it either. Which, again, is totally overkill for the average user.

Having recently gotten back into mechanical keyboards, partially for ergonomic reasons, I can say the Moonlander so far is the single board I regret purchasing.

Almost $400 for a board that is so poorly designed you have to choose between a usable thumb cluster position or a comfortable tenting angle, because the thumb cluster is used as one of the tenting legs. So unless you have giant hands, it's just a very poor experience compared to some other boards I've tried. For far, far less.

And to fix this, instead of revising the Moonlander, ZSA is happy to sell you an $80 tripod kit, tripods not included.

You can get the benefits of a split board for a _fraction_ of the price by getting something like a Lily58 or a Corne, which have far saner thumb cluster designs, and have plenty of solutions for tenting. And if you're like the author of the linked article who can't handle high travel keys, both of those boards are available with low profile mechanical Choc switches.
