I don’t think it is that complicated. Thiel is at heart a libertarian and always has been. But if you listen to him speak, he is constantly lamenting the lack of hard tech development. “We wanted flying cars but all we got is 40 characters.”

It seems obvious to me that he has calculated the best way to get this hard tech and science development: from government investment. Much of the actual scientific and technological advancement circa 1940-1980 came out of military investment.

Thus he has continually tried to involve himself in government spaces where he has an opportunity to make an impact. Sometimes that works (Palantir) sometimes it doesn’t (his involvement with Trump.)
This headline desperately needs to be corrected to reflect the fact that this is an allegation in a lawsuit, not something Politico is reporting as fact.

The Backstory of the Drupal PCI Compliance White Paper
Normally if a platform has relative low market share - the value of an exploit is relatively low (ie, 15% market share is pretty low). An android exploit gets you 85% of your market, maybe even more internationally where these get heavily used.

Android is about $30K per point market share and iOS is around $130K per point market share (4x more).

For example, it's not that Exchange / Outlook are HARDER to get an RCE on that makes the payout so high for those, it's because they have a LOT more usage than something like postfix etc.

I'm pretty sure Thiel is a key Dark Enlightenment guy, which means some specific things. 'will to power' is an adequate description for that larger story, which might involve working through others but might also mean any number of things.

The common thread is a concept of overpeople and UNDERpeople, and an ethos that's completely fine with ruling or even consuming/destroying the underpeople, without guilt or any reservations.

This is an ethos, it's just not western civilization anymore :)
Googler here, who worked on Workspace (which gmail is a part of). Anyone who works in workspace could confirm that, it's something that is taken very seriously. On the personalization side - smart compose in gmail, where there's typing recommendations, that's personalization, where a machine learning model looks at your email and generated a specific model for you that suggests text. The data never leaves gmail, and it's not used for any other purpose, and no one has access to it. That's different than, "let's use your email to generally learn about you and recommend ads or content to you".

But, it's something we've also said legally:

So, since it's become more fashionable to make things recyclable and re-usable, why not mandate that makers of athletic footwear make them so that they can be repaired -at least swap in new soles. Else they get taxed with an enviro-impact fee.

The soles tend to be the first things to go, mesh uppers also wear out. But it would be neat if they were resolable with ease and not have to, erm, shoehorn a solution.

My point is that this is not what people mean when they say that “losing is fun”. They mean that the traditional losing scenarios are not a loss in Dwarf Fortress. This doesn’t mean that the author has spent time smoothing out all of the interactions so that they are obvious or tutorialized the way a AAA game would be.

I think that's the main benefit of a mechanical keyboard with hotswap sockets -- you can change out the switches for something better (for you).

There are switches with lighter springs, so you can apply less pressure. And if you forgo the MX style mechanical keys you can get a keyboard with low profile "choc" switches, which have less travel.

(for example purpz are low profile with a very light actuation force: https://boardsource.xyz/store/5fff705f03db380da20f1014 -- I have no experience with them yet, as my choc keyboard isn't hotswap)

The CO2 emissions of 10400 kg for producing new tesla is taken directly from tesla's own marketing materials ('impact report') and arguably highly inaccurate as admitted by the author. I'm willing to accept his revised figure of 20800kg however.

Next, moving on to the pollution and externalises (besides emissions) required to produce a tesla - he correctly points out that acquiring several of the metals involves human trafficking, pollution, release of toxic chemicals, etc (he gives no useful numbers). He then moves on to state that's not a big deal because the relative weight of these metals in one car is much smaller than the total weight of the car? What a bizarre argument.

> It seems that in most cases a new EV will be better for the environment then your 10 year old honda in roughly 4 years.

2011, manual, 10 year old civic, gets 29mpg not 25mpg, which even based on the bullshit numbers from tesla's marketing pamphlet means it's better for the environment to buy a 10 year old civic and drive it for 5 years. If we use more realistic numbers you can probably buy 90% of 5-10 year old car models to drive to 5 years and emit less CO2 than a new tesla.

Also, people buying 10 year old civics generally already have economy and frugality in mind and aren't loaded with cash, they often don't have the option of buying a tesla. Trying to economically punish them for this is just counterproductive.
What permissions does this require? A kernel module? Something that watches all processes all the time? Messes with input settings or breaks assistive devices?

On windows, a lot of the actions that "anti-cheat" software takes is indistinguishable from a rootkit.

> I hope the mask mandates stay, especially for places where distancing is hard.

Somehow up until now, society has managed to function just fine without everybody wearing masks all the time. How do you even know masks work? Trusting some rushed research done in the middle of all this with tons of outside pressure to get the "correct" result?

Even if masks do work, to what extent? And seriously, society has done fine without them. Plus, I dunno about anybody else but masks are a pain in the ass and I like seeing faces... if I had to wear a mask all the time that would have a substantial impact on my mental health (not to say it already has had impact on my mental health)

Once, by accident we selected wrongly and we get in to the dirty apartments. We moved away to the hotel same day. Fine, all money were returned, except cleaning fee. Which is good, because owner needs cleaning.. or sure.

What does this involve on Linux? Reading the docs there's a reference to a "client module" for Linux but the link seems to be broken.

Is this going to require a linux kernel module or something to work, or is it pure user space?
This is hard to enforce. How about family that doesn't have kids vs one with 4? Each child contributes a lot to carbon emission until adulthood and after that. To be really honest families without children then should have more carbon credits.
When the framework does so much for you, I always worry about what it looks like at scale when you need to start optimizing. Can you instrument all the plumbing, if something breaks can you get at it to fix it? How will you add caches at various different layers? On the browser, http cache, db cache, CDN, etc.? If the generated JavaScript that’s ultimately running on the browser has a bug, how many layers of library do I have to sift through to fix it? When I want to simulate the network for testing or deal with intermittent connection failures on the frontend how hard it is to plug in? What do schema migrations look like? What do deployments across a fleet of servers look like (there’s some point in time when some servers are old and some servers are new…)?

These are problems with any framework, but the more all-in-one a framework attempts to be the harder it is to get in between the joints with your glue gun to fix things up.

That said, this is Clojure and usually you have pretty easy access to all the intermediate bits and bobs and macros so maybe it’ll be great.

In this case:

> Making these distinctions is important for applications which have the option of delivering notifications across multiple devices, such as a desktop and smartphone. Users may find it frustrating when notifications are delivered to the wrong device or are disruptive. For example, if they switch from a tab containing a messaging application to one for a document they are editing, the messaging application, not being able to observe that the user is still interacting with their device, may assume that they have left to grab a coffee and start delivering notifications to their phone, causing it to buzz distractingly, instead of displaying notifications on their desktop or incrementing a badge count.

Mine is empty as well. I think this article is misleading. The takout list does not come from gmail, but are "purchases made directly within Google Search, Maps, or Assistant".

I do wish gmail would keep track of all my purchases. Keeping a folder named "shopping" is ok, but it could be so much more.

Next to each purchase I'd love to see:
- link to a manual, youtube videos about this product.
- remainders when stock is low (for things I might reorder).
How does Chrome find out?

Is it watching my camera?

Or just no mouse or keyboard activity for a while — because if the latter, my website could already know that.

We built an app for distance learning which put something a lot more invasive (but with permission)… namely eye tracking and facial recognition to see whether the kids are paying attention. It’s actually LESS invasive than the current alternative — requiring the kid to keep their camera on. Now the teacher jusy knows when the kid is present and when not.

Frankly, USA public schooling is about as invasive and controlling for kids as schooling can get. Every minute of their lives inside the school is regimented. So distance learning can be a respite.
This hits on one of the ways that I think the software industry has gone very wrong -- no longer separating security updates from feature updates.

I shouldn't have to accept whatever feature/UI madness developers have cooked up in order to have security issues fixed.

More likely their share is smaller because they're competing against one of the largest companies in the world.
The "good reason" is that considering 12am the "middle of the day" only makes sense if the typical sleeping window was 8pm to 4am (making midnight the "middle of the night").
Only if you limit yourself to a particular kind of company, I think? I've worked as a dev for decades, but not for proper, actual tech companies... mostly a mixture of small biz and nonprofits. No two orgs were alike, even though my job at each one was very similar.

> Photos on resumes are never a good idea

Except when they are the standard in a culture other than yours. A CV without a picture in France is a bit suspect and it will leave the feeling of something incomplete.

When you search for "photo cv" in French, you will see a lot of sites that start with claiming that the photo is not compulsory, cannot be required and that the lack of a photo cannot be a reason not to assess your CV. Just this shows that the reality is that it is expected.

A lot of discussions is around discrimination. If your name sounds [put your most feared origin here], you can hide the picture as much as possible but this will not make a 12th generation Brittany-ion (no idea how someone from the Brittany region is called).

Then there is the address which also reveals a lot and at the end of the day the fact that you did not put a picture is likely to be against you.

yeah, reading the article was a TIL for me too, Tesla is selling credits so other auto makers can meet emission standards. They're suing because the increased standards (and fines) that were delayed by the former administration made those less valuable.
Girard and thus Thiel hold that "If there is a normal order in societies, it must be the fruit of an anterior crisis."

They're not wrong that this is A source of order, but they overlook the human tendency to form community and cooperate: this vision of theirs is about how to form societies when they are by definition all against all, a brutal struggle of nihilism and despair.

That's only one way humans can be, and it's a way that competes with the more leftist tendency to make everything about the community and cooperation.

Seems like a meta-narrative is needed that incorporates both of these positions that are held by their supporters as the ONLY position that can exist.
They don't screen the actual code that ships at auction time.

Coincidentally, I just started using two keyboards for related but different reasons - left-hand mousing. I started developing tendonitis in my right thumb from mousing. Didn't matter whether mouse, pad, or ball - everything wore on it. So, I learned to mouse with my left hand, but this presented another problem - keyboard shortcuts. I found it was difficult to keep reaching over to my left side with my right hand, where most of the common keyboard shortcuts reside. I used to use my left hand for those, but moving between mouse and keyboard is also difficult. My solution was to set up a half-keyboard (aka gaming keyboard) to the right to my main keyboard. Now all my common shortcuts are easily accessible to my right hand, and it only took a few days to get used to (much less time than left hand mousing). It's working well so far.

The complete lack of awareness in this whole endeavor is absolutely gobsmacking.
