I personally found 0 to 1 illuminating, but it is harder for me to comment on whether it is part of a larger consciously chosen narrative or some interesting byproduct.

I do find it odd lately that we are experiencing a weird anti-cult of personality writings lately ( anti-Musk, anti-Thiel, anti-Zuckerberg ). Odd because I would normally expect articles and other propaganda glorifying their achievements ala Gates. I am not sure what to attribute this to.
Mr first thought reading the article was security. After a quick ctrl-f, it was a little disconcerting to find that the only mention of security is in a tacked-on bullet list under the heading "risks"...
> Cancel culture has always existed, it's just been branded in the last decade as a political wedge.

To be clear "canceling" in the sense of "cancel culture" was coined by the cancelers. It's not a conspiracy "to drive a political wedge", but a description using the movement's own jargon.

As far as "it has always existed", I don't think that's true. Certainly campaigns of targeted harassment have always existed (which is to say "canceling" has always existed), but the culture where this kind of behavior is normalized and valued is relatively novel. Like any kind of social ill, if you rewind far enough you can find a time when it was common, but at least in my lifetime it was never normal or valued.

The canonical exception which proves the rule was the Dixie Chicks' cancellation as a result of their criticism of the war, and even then to get that kind of a response, the Dixie Chicks had to say something which offended a supermajority of Americans, while "cancel culture" today is typically about offending a small minority (roughly 10%).

> When your revenue is on the line you don't have a choice in this matter. So, to the parent's point, pretending to take this stance isn't not be apolitical.

Like everything, opposition to cancel culture is political for a sufficiently broad definition of "political". Maybe the more interesting question is whether it's partisan, and I think your anecdote proves that it's not. There are elements of the left and the right for whom "cancel culture" is an apt description. Similarly, there are folks on all sides who oppose cancel culture.

From the 70s to 80s cars were a complete shit show as they had smog control systems tacked on. Your father's sentiments are more applicable to pre-70s vehicles, before smog control laws arrived.

By the mid 90s things settled down and were much simplified, thanks to the computers and electrification of most actuators. You just treat the engine control module as a black box, with a small handful of easily tested sensors.

I'd take any 90s car over most post-smog ~pre-obd era vehicles, your father's complaint strikes me as more an irrational fear of computers. There's a definite sweet spot in the 90s where computerized cars still have throttle cables but extremely simple and minimalist computerized engine control systems vs. years prior.

4 pieces of anecdotical data:

1. I stopped writing good job descriptions when hiring because HR always killed it: they cut mine to half and add their crap all over. I had open positions for SQL DBAs for 9 months, all candidates were developers in the best case and BI in the worst

2. From time to time I receive calls on LinkedIn with X years of experience required, where X was even 15. When I asked about it (I had more, I was just curious) they said the real number is X/2, but they wanted to cut off people with very low experience that are rounding up.

3. No job description in Europe that I've seen included any useful info on salary. All the discussions in the past 2-3 years ended when I found they were offering below the market and below current level. All this time could have been saved on both sides if at least some range would have been offered. This applies even for positions where they made me 1 offer per week with increasing salary (a few percent) for 2-3 months in a row, which is incredibly stupid.

4. In the past 2-3 years I never saw a job description that looked really professional and interesting. The positions were more interesting than the descriptions.

Some thought that he might call it quits on VC investing, but how could he? Its in his blood.
I run in the mode of deny everything. And it is annoying. If I whitelisted it probably would be a lot easier. I think there are maybe 2 sites where I did that. I have gotten pretty good at picking out the bare min too. But every once and awhile you have to pull out the 'allow all' just to get a site to work. Usually it is some sort of redirect and the redirect is doing some weird bit of JS and by the time you get to it it has already failed and the GUI has no idea what to show you.

My thinking of 'deny all' is something like facebook where everyone seems to like to embed little bits into their pages. But I used to also use facebook. So if I made it work for one I would accidently make it work when I did not want it to on external sites.

I have been using it like this for so long I hardly even notice it anymore though. But that is just me. If I give this sort of solution to anyone I usually just give them an adblocker. That gets most of the silly things.
Do you have a clue of how to prevent or disable the active/focus/blur tab events as an end-user? Like going to uBlock Origin route or something? There is one portal that heavily used this event calls and I don’t mind. The issue if I want to generate a report or sending queries/message, I have to be on that tab for them to process it. They often take 10 seconds to 1 min to process it. If I leave the tab, I have to restart the process again. It is disruptive to my workflow since I have to be on that tab for it to do something. I wonder if there is a way to generate a fake/mock event to fool the portal that the tab is active while I am looking in another tab?
I don't have any experience with the Ergodox, and I loved the Moonlander when I first got it. But having used it for about 8 months now I really don't like how they've implemented the tenting -- the thumb cluster ends up too far away, making the inner most thumb keys on both sides unreachable (for me).

I'm likely going to replace it with something with better designed thumb clusters when I can (probably a Kyria or maybe a Corne variant).
> Someone with an ad to show doesn't send the ad to the web site that wants to show the ad

In fact, they do. Creative review is part of most ad platforms. Contextual categorization isn't possible without knowing what the ad is about (and the content it's going to), to various degree.

I am not sold on giving our dog oral flea pesticide. We’ve been able to git rid of fleas by increased cleaning (vacuuming all areas once per day), changing the dog’s bedding frequently, and spot removing the adult fleas. Effectively, you want to break the flea life cycle. It is doable without medication, but it requires high levels of upkeep.

> Yes. This is what certifications are for.

No... no, it's not. Manufacturer certifications are designed to provide liability protection for repairs done by people given training on how to make specific repairs to specific systems. What you're asking for here is for someone to independently determine that this valve can be replaced in isolation from the battery it's attached to. That's not the same problem at all, and good luck getting an insurer to cover that kind of nonsense under a "certification" contract.

> This type of repair is going to become much more common and the lack of recourse

Again, that's just simply wrong. Small part repairs are routine and common in the Tesla world just as they are everywhere else. The overwhelming majority of repairs don't involve replacing the battery pack! This controversy was about a very specific small part that happens not to have an individual part number nor disassembly spec.

And maybe it should! But your generalization is just silly. Tesla doesn't treat repairs any differently from any other manufacturer, period. You got sold a line that matched your priors.

Any tips for high utility websites apart from this one?

Would really appreciate this thanks
There is a long paper trail full of evidence of my attempting to contact people to get them to stop sending me someone else's email. If some idiotic prosecutor can't tell the difference between some jerk in Missouri and me, they deserve the judge's derision when the confusion is uncovered.

Gmail does not allow changing email addresses, and if I delete the account, I lose access to a recovery email that I'm executing a multi-year migration away from. That's simply not an acceptable step to take to mitigate the unlikely risk you describe.

There's also some jerk at AOL who forwarded their email to me mistakenly over a decade ago, and I've tried to contact AOL, which of course they won't consider since I'm not the person who set the broken forward.

While I appreciate your concern, I've already taken it into consideration as best as permitted by the tools available. If you are aware of a way to change a gmail address without creating a new Google Account, then of course I would love to hear about it.
> Of course patents are preferable to trade secrets in the vast majority of cases.

At least we agree on that much. My point is that when the patent is preferable (in the vast majority of cases, as you say) it implies that a trade secret would not have been expected to last as long as the patent—which makes the patent strictly worse from the public's point of view. We've granted a 20-year monopoly in exchange for revealing information which would have otherwise become public, without restrictions, in less than 20 years.

Maintaining tight control over the distribution of the drug only gets you so far, especially when the underlying research is already public knowledge. Trade secrets, unlike patents, don't block independent discovery, and only the rarest and most expensive drugs would warrant complete control over the supply chain.

As for the incentive to perform the research, that ultimately comes from the patients desiring treatment, not the pharmaceutical companies. Eliminating the monopolies would not reduce the demand for treatments, though it would reduce the profitability of individual pharmaceutical companies.

> You can easily construct a counter example where a drug has a greater than 50% chance of remaining secret during the length of the patent, yet taking the patent has a greater expected value.

Yes, if you are not confident that you can keep a trade secret then the patent becomes the better option. (Isn't that what I said before?) "Greater than 50% chance" is not what I would call "confident". It doesn't change the fact that patents only have a positive net expected value to the recipient in the situations where the public is expected to lose by granting a patent rather than having the knowledge kept as a trade secret for a time. The interests of the applicant and the public are diametrically opposed; if the patent applicant wins, the public loses.

This is mapping at its best: challenging our spacial, social and temporal norms, in this case by subverting political geography.

Gone are the clear, neatly delineated boundaries of modern nation states. A new, equally clear yet very different geopolitical regime is presented. Contiguous territories that abut each other yet also kinda overlap (or sometimes really overlap). A three-part scheme that distinguishes between territory, language, and treaty.

This approach provokes so many questions. What does it mean to overlap (is it a process vs. a static reality, is it peaceful, etc.)? What is a territory and who defines it? What happens in the little slivers of land not covered by the translucent blobs? What happens in the waterways and lakes? Is the concept of "treaty land" universal in some way? What does non-treaty land mean?

We debated all these issues in grad school, and seeing it in an interactive map like this is all the more powerful. I hope that readers here see the questions that maps like this provoke as an asset rather than proof of fallibility.

Looking forward to reading more about the creator's research and pedagogical methods.
I agree that it isn't super commonly used, but I was responding to the assertion that no one would bother making an Objective-C replacement for non-Apple platforms. Clearly some people are interested in spending time extending Apple languages for non-Apple platform purposes, so the idea that the only thing stopping people from making a "better" Objective-C is lack of support for third party platforms seems kind of strange to me. If it really were not that difficult to make a better Objective-C and enough people were interested, it seems like it would have happened regardless of official support by Apple for third party platforms. Either the interest isn't there in the first place, or it's not nearly as easy a problem as suggested.

Obviously Facebook should not do something illegal to protect Zuckerberg.

However, if there is a legally permitted action that Facebook can take to protect him personally, and only Facebook can take it, I don't see the problem with them deciding to do so.

If Zuckerberg is accused of a crime as a private citizen, he is of course capable of paying for his own defense. These are the examples you gave but they do not reflect the situation here. The story here is that the FTC wanted Facebook to pay a $5B fine. Not that they made Zuckerberg pay a $5B fine and Facebook decided to reimburse him for the expense.

One thing I've noticed is that, there is some value in stepping away from your work, and then coming back. Something like a "palate cleanser" for your mind. I agree that mindless web browsing is mostly a waste of time, but there might be some value in loading a little static into your mind, then coming back at your problem in a new frame of mind.

Minority and even non-voting shareholders still have rights, the majority cannot arbitrarily deprive them of the benefits of ownership. The legal doctrine is "shareholder oppression".

Says the company which has no intent whatsoever of providing a half decent alternative to Chrome.

Instead of designing a system that allows third parties to offer alternative browsers they decided to be selfish and do everything by themselves for themselves, and wonder why their market share continues to plummet.

Because if there's a facility that grants out-of-browser data to the remote, the remote can deny service unless it is enabled.

Unless the feature is designed to fake data and make permission status opaque to the remote, it's a privacy reduction that will happen, the only question is when.
