none of these faults resonate with me. gemini feels like an http html lite, that exposes what is. that the author of this post wants more us fine. but we have html already for that. the idea of making visible making explicit the content, of not making it rich: it's simply andifferent philosophy than what this author seems to be seeking.
Misdirection and honeypots
While I think you make good points, my reasoning is far more simple: people just enjoy communities that feel smaller, more intimate, and police themselves. This is a human nature thing regardless of whether we're talking digital or physical worlds.
Our garage door opener has this problem. At very specific times of the year the sun confuses the infrared blockage sensor. The cause occurred to me when I lined up my eye to see what the sensor was seeing when it was failing, and I noticed the morning sun right next to the other end of the sensor stream. I moved a trash can to shade the sensor and it worked fine.
I generally agree. Anything you are consuming that contains lead is much more concerning than food contacting a dish with a low amount of lead for a short amount of time (implying minimal to negligible transfer).

Honestly, the amount of lead in dishes and crystal (when it even contains it) is low. If you keep the contact time with the food low and there's no cracks/chips/dust, then you're fine. As an example, generally drinking from crystal is fine, but leaving a drink in a crystal decanter is not.
The phrasing is poor but the idea they're getting at is that it's so feature rich and well designed it feels as if it was produced by a team of hired engineers instead of people working for free in spare time and for donations.
While Tiktok is technically slightly worse, focusing on that rather than the gaping real problem of publicly posting top secret info is missing the forest for the trees.

Solve the problem of people posting this to social media and it won't matter if the company is US owned and operated or foreign owned and operated because neither will have anything to work with.
I absolutely do not want to return to our office at least. I save so much time and money by working from home that it's insane to even think about going back. Not to mention that I have a much better ergonomic setup at home, and I can take short breaks whenever I want without getting weird looks. The ability to just lay down for a minute is a blessing. I also eat much healthier when I'm at home.

I'd be _fine_ with going to the office once every other week to just meet up, but not more than that.
Even if they don't share, it is a piece of spyware they have on their phone, called Google Android.

I believe PLA uses its assets within Google, and other American dotcoms to the fullest extend, and they already pulled every info they can through their Android Store accounts on them.

Even a running meme of spy agency, the Saudi Army intel wing managed to have their men operate within Google for years. Imagine now what Chinese could.
Responsible Use of Technology: The IBM Case Study
On a base with top secret information, I'm amazed there would be private phones in operation there. The government may be pretty stupid about some things, but they absolutely know the 1000+ threat vectors within modern mobile phones.
Instead of straight coercion like limiting travel with a passport, I would argue the following is more effective:

- Full liability for vaccine manufacturers

- No censorship of dissenting views

- Open discussion with all views represented instead of suppressed

- Honesty on unvaccinated vs vaccinated case, death numbers

- Following the science instead of what’s convenient for politicians at the moment

I miss BYTE. Growing up in a country where we didn't have much resources and certainly no money to actually own a computer, but the school library did have a subscription to a few mags. BYTE was amazing.

Is there any mirror? I'd rather not put more strain on his server. And are there archives of other mags like Dr.Dobbs?

So the goal was running my development machine remotely.

I didn't want to clog up my server with a development toolchain, so I first tried VSCode Remote (Docker). It's what I would prefer, yet I never found managing a development environment in Docker comfortable. My dev machine bootstrap is scripted, but trying out new software and mapping ports on a whim don't lend themselves well.

Currently I am using VSCode Remote (SSH) running in a virtual machine. This keeps the development environment separate from the server, and any random tools I need to install are still there after any restart.

The VM was just Ubuntu Server with sshd. VSCode Remote (SSH) is great. Installing the extension on a client machine sets up the server on the machine you connect to. Ports can be mapped from the server right in VSCode (it can even automatically detect them and mapped them for you). Terminals work as expected, mouse emulation works.

Heartbreaking story, I don't know what I would do in that scenario.

One thing I don't understand - is Amazon's family leave really totally unpaid? It feels like something got lost here. That's pretty untypical for a big company, especially tech. The question rolling around in my head is did this guy just mess up somehow not realizing that family leave was the correct option for him and he would get paid, or is Amazon really that bad with their benefits?
That's not even what is being discussed. The question is: what is the proper response to a hyper aggressive China?

No one is saying something like that is likely. We are discussing hypotheticals. There's no need to be so upset.
What you are saying makes no sense to me at all. Like, I just don't even remotely grok the logic of this.

Just because you have the money / resources to do something yourself, does not mean that you should do that thing. Generally speaking, a bookseller will be more efficient at selling and delivering books to people who want books. Why on earth would you expect a political party to try and duplicate that effort? There are tons of good reasons why so much effort is outsourced to third parties these days.

Second, it is downright common to charge people to view advertisements. That's what magazines are. Magazines are a bit dead now, but the way they work is you get a bunch of advertisements, bundle it up with some content, and then charge people for it. They're not paying for the content (the content is already funded by the advertisements) and they're not paying for the physical copy, they're paying because the advertisers demand that it be so. Not all magazines work this way, but this is the general idea.

It turns out that people are more receptive to advertising if you make them pay for it first.
The permissions of the app are one thing, whether the app does it is another. In theory what you say would be possible, yes, but does the TikTok app have a feature which allows remote enabling of the camera, i.e. without user interaction? The code is public and can be decompiled. TikTok is not in charge of application distribution either, Google is, so if they add such a feature, people might notice.
this is a good queue-in to start talking about mass ratio: the ratio of weight that is dedicated to payload versus the weight of the delivery platform and it's fuel (slightly simplified take).

this device is almost certainly air breathing. there's simply too big an oxygen-breathing-demand at speed to do anything else for sustained high speed flight, where you need to be generating a lot of motive force.
I think you're missing the forest for the trees. Publicly posting confidential information is definitely bad. Bringing a device that can covertly collect information for adversaries is even worse.

I'm a long time paid RescueTime user. This new version looks really good, but at the same time there are a few features that I use quite often, and I hope these aren't going away:

- I have setup several custom categories over the years, for apps and websites that I use and I track them using do-more/do-less goals with beeminder. I'd like to continue being able to track times for specific activities.

- I like that I can use it on Linux/Mac/iPad/Android and it tracks across all platforms. I love that it works so well on Linux, and I also wish you could track activities on iOS/iPadOS.

- I use a home-grown pomodoro setup and I use the api and ifttt/integromat integrations to trigger focustime sessions. I also like observing the realtime productivity pulse numbers to motivate myself, and I hope that's not going away!
I didn't say there would be no positives or negatives to either side, I said there were lies from both sides. Which there clearly were.

I just find it strange that people think one side has the high ground because they didn't lie to the public quite so much, according to people who lied to the public.

I read these as a kid, but I got a few of these from the antique mall a few weeks ago and I was amazed at how half baked it was at times (the industry was moving so fast a few months of latency meant they were often out of date.)

Steve Ciracia was the guy holding it all together. Every month he published a hardware project that was commercial quality (you could buy it) except for the occasional two month project. It was a running gag that he coded with a soldering iron, struggled with assembly, probably didn’t know basic and logo, forget about it.

Despite that some months he would answer all the letters to the editor which ranged from ‘too bad they don’t document things like this’, to ‘you can buy that from the Jameco catalog’ to ‘here are three ways to fix a corrupted word star disk if you moved it to a subdirectory because it was written for DOS 1 and doesn’t support subdirectories.’
It's as annoying to see all these unfounded comments like yours making China some sort of omniscient bogeyman.
He's an analyst trying to reason about the near term future of the global economy, backing up his arguments with data. That's his job. Your ascribing malice and ill will to observations of someone who's not making decisions is a little bit silly.

Yeah already stuff like contact information can be highly informative.

I think we need to arrange for an age in which great powers learn a lot about each other through internet services, similarly to how we had to arrange to satellite imagery becoming available of each other.

Trust me, there is no additional help needed to make large swaths of the population distrustful of the government implementing a digital "papers, please" system in order to participate in human society.

And honestly, I think I would trust the government-developed app far less than a private one. Have you SEEN any government website before?
I suspect the various comments about "better OPSEC" miss the underlying point - we as citizens realise there is no such thing as privacy, but governments have not caught on there is no such thing as secrecy.

Even with Office of Personel management, wikileaks etc, the vast amounts of data poured out pibkically over the past two decades should tell anyone watching who got their avionics engineering degrees, where they celebrated their house warming party, which retirement lunch they were at with five other avionics engineers, which construction company won which contract ... this sort of stuff should be bread and butter for all intelligence agencies and A struggle to see how anything much can be kept secret in this world.

There's likely a lot of us with some college that took a gig before graduation during or immediately after the dotcom boon. I wasn't exposed to this in the late 90s / early 2000s when I was in school for a CompSci degree. I took all kinds of sociology, English comp, and psych fillers and can't recall any kind of the post-modernist progressivism cited. They were interesting, fairly neutral courses.

Is this a lot? Missiles are quite expensive in general. $3.8 BN is not the budget for this single program, but for several, 8 per this source [1] (although, now it might be 1 or 2 less).

For this particular weapon, a somewhat similar weapon I can think of is the European Meteor [2], which is ramjet (rather than scramjet) powered, and reaches Mach 4, rather than over Mach 5 as this one is supposed to do. Meteor comes at a cool cost of EUR 2 MM per piece. Think about it, you fire one missile like that, and it's like destroying 10 Ferraris.

I've pretty sure I've got at least 100 peanuts stashed in my garage from a Douglas squirrel that likes to hang around my place. I give her peanuts and for the last month or two she mostly has stashed them instead of eating them right away like she did earlier in the summer. And most of the time she stashes them, she does so somewhere in my garage.

She runs the same general circuit most of the time, going up the left wall, crossing the rafters to the right, stashing the nuts somewhere up there (I haven't yet gotten around to getting a ladder and trying to find out just where she puts them), and then exiting somewhere on the right (she has a couple of different ways she comes down).

Here she is running her garage circuit:

As far as I've seen none of the eastern gray squirrels that are more common here use my garage. I've only ever seen them burying peanuts in my yard, or taking them somewhere off my property.
BYTE was amazing. Feel proud of what you helped create. I met Wayne in the mid 2000s and had him on my radio show multiple times. Amazing character. I miss him.

If you aren't posting top secret data, you also aren't sharing it with enemies on accident.
I like David Patterson (RISC Turing Award/RAID/Google TPU)'s model of 5 year plans [0]. What he's realized is you need to invest enough time into a project to do something that might be successful, but also give yourself many opportunities in life. Here are his 5 year projects: https://i.imgur.com/FjfnEmG.png

We can see not all of them succeed but if you "swing for the fences, nobody remembers the failures they remember the homeruns."

I like this model and break up things I want to do into 4 year plans (just mirroring college years). Here, I set out goals of what I want to do. One example is learning Chinese. I make a measurable goal like being able to hold a 15 minute conversation. To reach the goal, I try to a do a bit of practice, in total 20-30 minutes everyday. This includes conversational practice, vocab, etc. Sometimes I feel I'm not being effective enough and will readjust my practice, like changing from apps to flashcards or from flashcards to actual conversation. I think I'll reach my goal but if I don't, my conversational fluency is much better than at the start, when I made the goal. I'll still be pretty happy with that. I make a couple of these goals like career, investing, travel, relationships, etc and make them measurable so I can review and adjust along the process. I think I'll start setting one goal as really ambitious next time to "swing for the fences."

Hope that helps!

>Gambling seems to have passed its peak some years ago, both in terms of opportunity and social acceptability.

In the US, to me, it seems sports gambling is priming for take off. Many states are legalizing it and you see gambling odds/lines on ESPN now. Many NFL stadiums are about to launch in-game gambling operations. It used to never be acceptable in the US to be out front about sports gambling but the worm has turned.

I suppose. The decision was unwise given his family situation at the time, but it’s hard to put the blame on the loser here and let Amazon get away scot free while treating people infamously bad. The blame is on both parties here, but you seem to only blame the individual rather than the company.

Edit: On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know why Amazon compensates so highly but all of their consumer-facing software is, in my opinion, pretty lacking or dated compared to some of its FAANG peers? Is it just that B2B > B2C?
there's no other moral choices for devices & it's wonderful to see a big company take a moral & obvious stance on this.

YMMV, but I've concluded it's important to withhold judgment until hearing all sides of a story. The Mother Jones article presented just one side.
There's a recent survival TV show which had 10 people attempt to live off the land for 100 days in the Canadian far north in the fall and early winter (daytime temps started at 20C and went down to -20C during that time, nights were even colder). A few of the people found squirrels' mushroom stashes and ate them. Several people caught squirrels and ate them as well, but one got very sick and had to be evacuated early.

It was also interesting to see the extent humans would go through to stash the food they had hunted or caught -- for instance, elevated platforms in the trees -- and the determination of animals such as bears, wolverines, and foxes to raid the stashes.
