People who repeat this often seem to think that a company can do anything it wants without consequences. If Volkswagen cheats emissions tests, maybe they'll get a slap on the wrist, maybe they'll get slammed by regulators. Whoever in the company that tries to "maximize shareholder value" must consider that risk too. Getting slammed by regulators is a good way to LOSE shareholder value.

Thanks to the magic of cryptography, it's possible to prove your identity to someone else without enabling them to impersonate you.

Ok. A fun exercise is to write a topological sort of a graph in both iterative and recursive styles.

I've used this as an interview question at least 100 times, so I've got at least 50 hours of watching people try to program this and with extremely high probability your iterative solution will be ugly and hard to follow and the recursive one very tidy. Of course, you can screw up the recursive one, but it so straightforward it almost writes itself.
Aside from the rather irritating concept that the world was put here (by some deity?) to produce the absolute maximum quantity of happy humanity, it seems to me that the main fallacy here is that things remain the same with a population reduction.

I can guarantee that a 10:1 or 100:1 shrink in humanity will result in a society that is nothing like today's. Any prediction based on the interactions between 8B people won't hold when it's 800M.
But this is only true if you live in major cities and quite often only the capital.

> I'm surprised to hear how bad a decline in shoe repair shops there's been. Shoes are one of the last consumer goods you can actually get repaired.

I'm legitimately worried that by the time any of my leather shoes & boots need re-soling (another couple years, probably) cobblers will be too rare and expensive to justify re-soling for anything but really high-end shoes (say, $500+, which are out of my league; I don't like wearing things that'd make me very sad if they got damaged).
I don't understand what you're saying. It absolutely is behind a permission prompt. If you go to the demo site:

https://idle-detection.glitch.me/

and click "ephemeral", it shows a prompt next to the address bar saying "idle-detection.glitch.me wants to know when you're actively using this device" and has buttons for "block" and "allow". So I don't know how "it really isn't" could be true in this case.
Putting the actual law aside, I'm a bit confused on Gruber's argument here that "it’s untenable for Apple, or any other company, to “support our employees’ rights to make their own decisions regarding their reproductive health” and ask any woman to work for the company in a state with a law like Texas’s."

This sort of presumes that Texas is an empty plot of land where no one lives. This is obviously not the case. There are millions of people that live there and need jobs. So what about women who want to work for a cool consumer technology company and are anti-abortion. Why would it be "untenable" to hire those women?
That's not a bad sounding idea, but it makes a lot of assumptions about the infrastructure available in the region the self-driving car is being deployed.

> Wasn't there some regular company who decided to delete all adsense/ad networks from their sites for a quarter and at the end of the quarter found no difference in ordering/sales, etc.

> Online ads is snakeoil

No doubt in my mind. I helped start a webshop in 2009 and got to see it first hand:

We used a service called Kelkoo and according to their dashboard almost every customer we had came through them.

We were suspicious so we cut them out for a couple of weeks.

Turned out sales hardly dropped at all.

We had good luck with Google ads back then but I don't for a second think Google doesn't happily fleece advertisers:

As I've said a number of times before I have been targeted for scammy dating site ads for a decade, more specifically from around the time I started dating my wife and until our youngest was about a year old.

Google knows fairly well I'm a conservative Christian who has had no problem getting a date the usual way, but has had no issues showing me these ads, probably because they pay most pr impression.

This was back when I felt I owed site owners to not enable adblock all the time so I tried a number of times to report the ads as irrelevant. Problem is, when I reported Polish girls as irrelevant, the next ads was for Ukrainian girls, then Thai girls, Chinese girls, Taiwanese girls, Filipino girls and I don't know what else until it went full circle and started on Polish girls again.

Not a bad word about people from those countries, but I was already married and Google know very well since I look for family
holidays, toys and food ideas for families with kids.

Point is it seems that relevancy doesn't count anything now that advertisers pay for impressions instead of clicks.

I wonder if it affects the theory of computation in any way. Is it an argument against the church Turing thesis? Is it reason to believe in the existence of computational oracle TM such as a halting oracle TM? To me these questions are related to strong AI. Are creative inputs to normal algorithms fundamentally more effective than normal inputs to creative algorithms? Is there a high degree of intricacy of information such that inputs to the algorithm is somehow more powerful than any algorithm?

This article uses the false assumption that Africa and the Islamic World fertility rates would follow the ones of Europe, America and Asia. This assumption which was ludicrous since the beginning has proved false overtime with - incompetent in my opinion - demographers forced to increase their estimates of the peak number of humans earth will host every five years.

There may be two P-Bombs: America, East Asia and Europe which spirals toward demographic collapse on one hand and Africa and - a bit less - the Islamic World which spirals toward overpopulation on the other hand.

E.g. Egypt which is already overpopulated fails to succeed to drive its fertility rate under 3. Maghreb countries such as Algeria and Morocco actually saw their fertility rates increase again after decreasing for the past decades. And that does even include demographic nightmares like Niger where half the population is systematically under 15

I'm a simple guy. I see anything related to Fourier series/transform, me like. To me, it's like solution to at least 16% of all the problems I have. My only gripe is that I can't thank Fourier personally for the genius he had.
Some info here: https://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-mark-... but the gist of how he controls it is pretty simple:

"Zuckerberg owns or controls 88.1% of Facebook’s Class B shares, which each have 10 votes at the annual meeting — 3.98 billion votes overall. There are only 2.4 billion Class A shares, which are the only shares ordinary investors can buy. So any proposal Zuckerberg doesn’t like will fail by nearly a 2-1 margin, assuming all Class A investors vote together, which never happens. (Zuckerberg owns 0.5% of the Class A shares.)"

Clearly all throughout the funding rounds he made sure he controlled the shares that mattered.
I've heard from career Elixir devs that the Pleroma codebase is not very idiomatic in terms of how it's all set up.

> In this scenario, most (not all) stacks will stop when they reach ISRG Root X1, which is trusted because it's in your trusted roots store.

That isn't what you wrote. Machine don't do "What I really meant", only what you actually wrote. Unfortunately the people who programmed libraries like OpenSSL had the same attitude as you (until e.g. OpenSSL 1.1), and so in about a week a bunch of people are going to reget that.

> My recollection of the TLS RFC is that it will stop there.

The TLS RFCs don't offer any opinion about how you should make trust decisions. Accordingly even before RFC 8446 was finished, the most important clients (the web browsers) treat Certificates as one end-entity certificate plus some number of other documents which might be useful or might be irrelevant.

This also makes them robust against the most common misconfiguration which is failure to provide the intermediates. Since they don't care they will soldier on anyway, either by AIA chasing or, in the case of Firefox, by including the entire set of trusted unconstrained intermediates in every install.

> The fact that some software stacks also happen to insist that that final step lands on a self-signed cert is the problem that will cause this cert validation to continue up the chain past ISRG Root X1

That's not really key. They just don't stop, the self-signed certificates are a coincidence not a necessary element.

> If you have references that say I'm wrong about this, I'm honestly interested.

What does it mean to be "wrong"? I'm sure you will continue to believe you were correct, and yet the exact steps you wrote down are going to blow up for people in just a few days. As a programmer, I call that "wrong" but I'm quite sure you feel you weren't wrong at all, just misunderstood.
So if you talk to yourself as if you are a different person, it can help you manage negativity and make you more impartial when reasoning.

I wonder if it has the same effect on emotions other than "pain and anxiety". For instance, will it calm positive excitement? Will it quench euphoric moments?

The article suggests that a person can cope better by distanced self-talk. If a person falls into such a habit, however, will it also affect their ability to feel happy, thrilled, motivated? Will it make the person generally indifferent?

Have gotten multiple such emails the last couple of weeks.

I think Googles spam detection is a bit too much lax when the sender itself is using gmail.

These might as well be hacked accounts which have already proven themselves to be valid and "human" at a previous point in time? I doubt gmails spam detection would let a brand new account spam CC'd emails without any sort of detection.
There's a proposal for a new fed program that will track anything over $600 in the US now[0]. It is pretty much aimed at gig workers. Previously the IRS just didn't care about anyone below the poverty line. I'm not sure I'm even fine with the spirit of what is happening here, since these people would be getting that money back in refunds anyways. Also, I think a problem is that it is placing the burden on people who already don't have money, by complicating their taxes. It's weird to see banks and credit unions sending petitions around[1]. But this is also why I'm nervous about a fed crypto coin.

In the org I work in "Distinguished" is simply a level of seniority (and pay grade). For engineers we have; grad -> engineer -> senior -> specialist -> principal -> chief -> distinguished.

Idaho Covid crisis: Hospitals overflowing with sicker, younger patients
I've seen "confirmed" developers create one microservice for each entity/model they have. Everything is simple CRUD, absolutely no domain logic. Literally, a "user" microservice, with its User class and repository, 100 LOC, a "message" microservice with 80, etc. Aggressively arguing the superiority of their monster. Of course the services all shared the same db, completely missing the actual benefit of microservices. And every service was completey coupled to others and could not run on its own.

How do you fix that ?

Is humanity disappearing in the next few hundred years really so surprising? Bayesian arguments by physicists already predict it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_argument

In a nutshell, order all humans ever born or to be born. You and me are equally likely to be anywhere in this list, but it's unlikely we're at the beginning or end. Based on estimates on the number of humans born so far, this constrains the lifetime of the human species to a few hundred years.
It's a lost cause. I'm over a decade into the transition you are undertaking and I've basically just accepted that it will always be an account I can't get rid of - so I use it as a "you need my email address but I don't trust you" account. Nobody ever has any concern if you give them a gmail account.

Over 50% of the email this account receives is for other people and frequently the "To:" field isn't even an exact match for my address!

If you do start getting stuff that looks like it might cause you problems: be proactive. Do not wait around to embarrass some prosecutor. By that time, you've already spent thousands of dollars and had your reputation dragged through the mud. I once started getting legal threats meant for someone else. I had a lawyer call up that lawyer and it was cleared up in less than 10 minutes. Another time I started getting emails from/to a person with the same name as me at the State Department that definitely should not have been sent through a non-government server. I talked to someone I knew at the US Attorneys Office about it and those emails stopped immediately (doubt that guy still works there, LOL).
The machine stack given by modern CPUs is blazingly fast, because microarchitectures typically have a return stack buffer that allows the processor to perfectly branch-predict returns. Manually coding recursive algorithms means you have to switch over the return state, which involves a different predictor that will be less accurate.

Given that, and machines typically have an architectural stack pointer register with dedicated instructions to push and pop to it, the manual datastructure you come up with to simulate a stack is almost certainly going to be slower.

Mapping out current or traditional native territories is an almost hopeless task.

e.g. The Eastern Shoshone were, at the time of early European contact, in Alberta. Their territory on this map doesn't even touch Canada. Why? They were forced out (with violence) by the Iron Confederacy long enough ago that they no longer claim any land in Canada.

Tribal territories change, often radically and especially so when nomadic tribes are involved. Hard, immutable, and sharply defined borders are a modern construction. If territory wasn't actively defended, it was free for the taking. Some territories might have had such plentiful resources that they could be shared in peace, but most probably had to be fought for. That's why you see so many territories overlapping. Several tribes may have used a territory and still consider it "theirs", even if their control was never solid.

We tend to think of the land as offering limitless bounty to hunter-gatherers, but just the opposite was true. Compared to land under agricultural or pastoral use, even well-tended land used by hunter-gatherers was far less productive. If another tribe moved into your tribe's territory, that meant less food for your tribe. So, you had to defend your territory. Constantly.

New Guinea is a good place to study if you want to learn about traditional hunter gatherer societies because tribal territories and conflict remained distinct well into the 20th century and have been studied extensively. As late as the mid 20th century, when two strangers met it was customary for them to sit down and try to establish the nature of their relationship. Who was on whose land? Was the person who was not on their own land in any way related to anyone who belonged on that land? They'd recount genealogies for hours towards this end. It was serious business because, if the trespasser had no connection to anyone in the territory he had entered, the other person was socially obligated to run them out of the territory with violence.

Today, we mostly think of strangers as potential friends or, at least, people bringing money to local businesses. Hunter gatherers had to think of strangers as a resource drain that needed to be cut off for the good of their society. It's an alien way of thinking that we've largely forgotten, but it's reflected in this map. People died violently practically everywhere you see territories overlapping, and those borders are just a snapshot in time.

As for peaceful co-existence... This is a modern myth. Hunter-gather societies in New Guinea, although they had no large-scale war or pitched battles, had constant, internecine, low-intensity tribal conflict. The death-toll due to violence of this kind of conflict adds up over time. Jared Diamond, in one of his books, estimated that deaths due to violent conflict in the tribes he was studying was actually higher in just the first half of the twentieth century than in Germany through two world wars. The world wars were catastrophic technological horrors, but they had a start and an end. Not so with tribal conflict. It just goes on.
> I don't [deny the existence of the middle class]

Good for you. This whole subthread started when I was arguing with this comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28617665), which states:

> People often categorise themselves as middle class just because they have a decent job and a mortgage - they are in fact just labour. None of their income comes from capital.

> Middle class is mostly a myth, unless you can quit your job and maintain your lifestyle, you are labour, not capital.

I think you are taking my comments completely out of this context and mistakenly inferring lots of things that I didn't say. To wit:

> the tables still need waiting, food still needs harvesting etc. You can't run an economy on just middle managers, software engineers and financiers; what do you think happens to everybody else who doesn't get the "personal choice" to earn above the average wage?

People can develop skills throughout their lives. I don't disagree that there are some people who have to spend their entire lives working as unskilled labor, but I think this is a minority of the working population. Again, I said "most", not "all", which is what you seem to have inferred.

> But the point is that wealth does not correlate with hard-workingness or spend-thriftiness or whatever implication your argument from personal choice is meant to create

My only intended implication is that, contrary to ClumsyPilot's claim that the middle class is "mostly a myth", members of the middle classes are often capable of achieving financial independence, but end up not doing so as a consequence of their personal choices. You seem to be again inferring some all-or-nothing absolute statement that I didn't make.

> "Working poor" is a real concept, perhaps one you're too abstracted from to be aware of.

You seem to be inferring that I claim the working poor don't exist. I only said the working poor are a minority of the working population. Another all-or-nothing inference.
