> It's not like they drain the helium

For what it's worth, I see six scheduled appearances in two cities, all in January and February of next year. That's not a lot, especially when I used to see them about 3-4 times a year out in Montana (AKA, the boonies).

> It's not like they drain the helium

No, but they naturally lose helium at a fairly regular rate, since there's no blimp envelope systems that can prevent all helium loss. RC blimps, as an example, lose about .5% to 1% of their helium daily. Commercial blimps appear to have a couple of months until they've lost their bouyancy.

EDIT: A single Goodyear blimp requires approximately 300 mcf (1mcf = 1,000 cubic feet) of helium, and helium prices are around $700 per mcf when sold in bulk. That puts a blimp's helium costs alone in the $200,000 range for a blimp that can carry 14 people.

Back in 2000, the price per mcf was in the $40 to $50 range.
I've got a bit of a hack when it comes to sussing out which business books are the best. I look at the endorsement quotes and check if they are quotes from practitioners or quotes from other authors. 90%+ of the time they are from other authors and I know that likelihood of quality is low. On the other hand, quotes from practitioners (and especially ones successful in their field) are worth their weight in gold. Stripe Press books pass this test surprisingly often.
Some of Jobs' later success probably came from his knowledge of his own mortality. This enabled him to shoot for the moon and drive as hard as he could.
"Gay people aren't even always happy! Gay means happy!"

Language changes. "Serverless" clearly doesn't mean "computers aren't involved", but "the computers are someone else's responsibility". It's a marketing term, just like "cloud", and it's unlikely to go away.

As with "hackers vs. crackers", "Linux vs. GNU/Linux", "copyright infringement vs. piracy", and other similar scenarios, the ship has sailed here.
This! Developers at MS (edit: and elsewhere) should be forced to use their brainwork on low-end machines at least two days a week.

Or not - regardless of what MS employee claimed, Linux terminals performance is more than adequate.

I thought that .heic has patents on it and is thus not free in some cases. Which I think is an overwhelming reason to bury it and not use unless you have a very good reason to.

Having fewer browsers support .heic format would be a benefit -- as it would decrease the chances of the format surviving.
From my experience... Cancer medication and treatment does awful things to people.

I wouldn't judge Jobs for the things he said while dying. However I'd judge him for his actions while he was living. Or rather, listen to the judgements of people who were close to him. So I have a hard time admiring him, though he was at the centre of a lot of admirable stuff.

The developer is not giving convenience if I can't use my payment information, contact info, and shipping info that I've already provided. Having to give all that info again to a payment processor that I don't necessarily know or trust is not convenient.
The entire story here is wildly bizarre. The fact that the honest-to-god solution to anything in today's world is to have a mint at the ready, just in case you need to swiftly stamp a coin of arbitrary value and then transport it with haste by helicopter to a particular location in time to keep the national economy on track is just completely bonkers.
Radiation is a tool - period. Any tool can be misused - we should throw out a tool just because it might be misused.

Email, not Gmail. I can email people from my provider even if they use other providers, including people who self host. And I can get email from them too.
Their about page only says:

> Asahi means “rising sun” in Japanese, and it is also the name of an apple cultivar. 旭りんご (asahi ringo) is what we know as the McIntosh Apple, the apple variety that gave the Mac its name.
Which products are they selling and making medical claims about? It looks more like they are selling interesting science experiments rather than medicine.
Why aren't there more? because the two basic propositions "we can|should / can't|should not do something about climate change" have taken up the space, both having "if you aint for us, you're against us" gatekeeping.

Once we get a bit more economic stress, we'll see more people moving out to the country and trying to form communes to live by their ideals; which will have the same harsh reality problems they always do.

There's certainly some of that already, just not enough to make a lot of media noise yet. Techno pagans are learning how to milk cows and goats.
I think GP is referring to the fact that email overall is a system that is based on public standards and open to new entrants. You can start Hmail.com if you want, and plug into the existing email eco-system as a new competitor very easily.

The social media ecosystems aren't like that. You can't be a chat provider and plug into FB Messenger; you can't plug into Twitter, etc.

There is an open social media eco-system called the fediverse (for its federated nature), in which Mastodon is the best-known player. But it's gotten very limited traction, because of the network effect that keeps people on FB and Twitter. No such effect keeps people on Gmail.

I don't think it's necessary because Android has its own OOM killer and Android apps must be written to handle Android's OOM signals.
Agreed. Even a little thing like Safari having the close button on the wrong side in iOS 15 would have gotten someone fired.

Multitasking in iPadOS is also a good example of non-Mac software being near unusable.
Standard oil reduces the cost of oil, delighted customers, and had already a massive decline in market share by the time the antitrust stuff happened. It was driven by people who couldn't compete.
Bookmarking systems are completely outdated, but I'm not sure what they should be replaced with. What would help you in this case so you didn't have to worry about losing the tabs if you closed them?
You've listed things that are already regulated, in some cases heavily, by the government. And yes, specific things in those industries have been outright banned by the government. You can't buy Coke with cocaine in it. Ads can't straight up lie to you. You can't buy a car without seatbelts or headlights.

If your commercial business is to promote certain content over others, regulating that function is worth a debate, especially if it causes such a disproportionate harm to society. Is algorithmic curation with intent to cause addictive behavior actually protected speech? Or in other words, is the government allowed to regulate the time, place, and manner of that curation (not affecting the content)? The US has the broadest protections for speech and if FB fails that test, it's unlikely to hold up anywhere else in the world.

The purist would argue that corporations are allowed to do whatever they want and if society runs like lemmings off a cliff, they had it coming. A more moderate view could be that individuals should be guaranteed free speech but not corporations.

>I love nuclear too, but one issue is that it is really expensive upfront, especially if you want to do it cleanly and safely.

Only if you go under the traditional models. Modular reactors solve most of the problems with traditional nuclear power - but good luck having a rational discussion with most people about it :p
No.

GCC existed and thrived long before companies started putting money into it. It would clearly suffer if, e.g., Red-Hat withdrew its support, but not nearly as LLVM would in the same situation.

The culture, history and governance of the two projects are very different and they do matter.
Big tobacco has caused millions of deaths. I'm yet to see any evidence that FB has caused harm.

For instance, do you have data showing that there are more antivaxxers because of FB?

Yes, antivaxxers discuss on the platform, so what? they would be discussing in cafes and at family meetings like they've always done.

I do believe we need to use social medias with moderation, especially teenagers. However, I really have a hard time understanding why people are so angry with social medias companies as I don't really see any harm. On the other hand, many people like these platforms and I don't think it's for me to decide what they should be doing with their time.
I knew another person who was so strongheaded about his health that he could bend reality. It didn't work for him, either.
Not much reason for the NSA or FSB to create new social networks, I'm sure FB and vkontakte suite their needs just fine.
Good luck building!

How do you go about meeting them? Or how do they reach you?
The elephant in the room here is the First Amendment. The government, legally, cannot do anything to censor "hate speech" or "misinformation" on CNN or Fox News. They also can't do anything to censor "hate speech" or "misinformation" on Facebook, but they can certainly harass Facebook into doing it for them.
>> and most of all to stay humble in our own beginner’s mind.

This sounds highly revisionist based on how he approached and treated people who knew more about him in many areas.

and this:

>> We were blessed to have him as husband and father.

My own father may be a nobody to history but he's a superior husband and father to Jobs on any scale.
Walmart is "manipulating" the placement of products on the shelf so that it's more likely for you to engage in bulk buying when you visit their stores.

Both Facebook and Walmart have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to create value for them.

The difference is that, with user generated content, the idea of black and white "bounds" of the law is no longer applicable and you have to devise a system of checks and balances based on probabilities.

You can consider 10'000 posts for offline analysis: give them to some human raters and decide retrospectively what engagement and thoughts (positive/negative) are they generating in teens, which should enable you to draw some statistics about the expected average outcome. This doesn't mean it's either scalable or economically feasible to do so in real time for every post (so you cannot take decisions based on something that doesn't exist at the individual post level).

You can have multiple algorithms, send all of them to human raters and get for each algorithm some aggregated behaviour, but then we're back to the book question above -- what ratio of positive vs negative outcome in outliers is acceptable, and how do you define a "legal"/"allowed" algorithm?
Indeed. No hacker deserves to be treated like that.

Without hackers, Jobs would have been designing plastic utensils with rounded corners for Tupperware, or something like that.
Liberals should care about progress (Symposium)
From yesterday's post:

"Our engineering teams have learned that configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues that interrupted this communication.

...

Our services are now back online and we’re actively working to fully return them to regular operations. We want to make clear that there was no malicious activity behind this outage — its root cause was a faulty configuration change on our end."

Ultimately, that faulty command changed router configuration globally.

The Google outage was triggered by a configuration change due to an automation system gone rogue. But hey, it too was triggered by a human issuing a command at some point.
It is the responsibility of the state to inform citizens on the facts and dangers of activities. And yes, sometimes to incentivize healthy behavior.
Yeah, I see that the calculus is very different for the military. I was specifically curious about civilian case. I’m already conscious of how fragile helicopters can be, hence my curiosity re this.

But from other responses it seems that these aircraft can in fact auto rotate and glide in an emergency.
I'll skip over the theoretical stuff, and just skip to talking about the Democrats (whomst I hate).

With Biden, you need to watch the hands, not the mouth. Biden only proposes stuff that the left likes when he knows it won't pass — and he has a couple of thumbs on the scale (Manchin and Synema) to ensure that they don't. It's a matter of optics. On the eviction moratorium, for example, Biden knew he'd be overruled, and he knows that the Senate won't allow any extension by legislation to pass; all he actually did was get the actual leftists to stop camping out on the capitol steps. The Biden administration isn't practically governing to the right of the Obama administration, which was itself right wing. Look at the notable accomplishments of the Obama administration: a massive bail-out to investment banks, blocking socialized health care while enforcing/guaranteeing the revenue streams of private insurance companies, and maintaining the Global War On Terror, in part by ramping up the drone war.

On the other hand, if you consider health mandates authoritarian...I don't know that we have any common ground for speaking. If public health isn't a legitimate government concern, then probably nothing is.

> We’ve done extensive work hardening our systems to prevent unauthorized access, and it was interesting to see how that hardening slowed us down as we tried to recover from an outage caused not by malicious activity, but an error of our own making. I believe a tradeoff like this is worth it — greatly increased day-to-day security vs. a slower recovery from a hopefully rare event like this. From here on out, our job is to strengthen our testing, drills, and overall resilience to make sure events like this happen as rarely as possible.

I found this to be an extremely deceptive conclusion. This makes it sound like the issue was that Facebook's physical security is just too gosh darn good. But the issue was not Facebook's data center physical security protocols. The issue was glossed over in the middle of the blogpost:

> Our systems are designed to audit commands like these to prevent mistakes like this, but a bug in that audit tool didn’t properly stop the command.

The issue was faulty audit code. It is disingenuous to then attempt to spin this like the downtime was due to Facebook's amazing physec protocols.

Is the "Parallel Merge Sort" working? It doesn't seem to be doing anything ...
I can't speak for the person you're replying too, but I have somewhat similar use cases sometimes, and what you propose isn't really a fix. For instance, when programming, the documentation could be spread out amongst many webpages (like each chapter or each section in a chapter is a separate page). And that might not be the only reference I'm using. And then add in separate pages for examples, too. It's not always possible to anticipate all your reference/example needs at the beginning of the project, so downloading everything doesn't always work.

I’d love to see this kind of functionality built in to firefox. I’ve tried running without js entirely but too much of the web is broken. But a paired down js, that might work!
I think the issue would be that the compressor works on whole memory pages (I assume), so you'd need to know that the whole page could be freed. There might be kernel VM functions to handle that functionality manually, like if you were building a zone allocator or something?

What Happened When Facebook Became Boomerbook
Absolutely correct, and I am one of them. AMA.

A couple things I can tell you in case you wanted to ask:

- How different is from FB? I have no idea, because I never had a FB account. But see below.

- I heard that Mewe is/was a place "dominated" by Alt-Right or Right-wingers.
Not in my experience: I stick to groups that cater for my hobbies (calligraphy, drawing, Martial Arts, tabletop gaming) and the political debate is basically zero. Maybe there are specific groups for that.

- Spammers/Scammers? Each group with more than a couple hundred members tends to collect some bots. They are easy to deal with and not a big nuisance.

- I miss Google+, is this good replacement?
Yes and no. The #1 feature I miss (and I suggested this as paid extra, to no avail) is that even if you mark one of your posts as "Public" it just means that it will be visible by any other MeWe member that might happen to do a search or just visit your profile.
But you cannot share the link to the post outside of MeWe.
(For me this is a big problem, because I often bookmarked my own posts on Google+ to refer back to them when I wanted to show something to other people).
Of course my success in convincing friends and contacts to follow me on MeWe is measured in Imaginary Numbers. FB still dominates, and even if I had managed to convince lots of people to follow me on Google+, it never really become a hit for them.

- What about Censorship (NSFW, at least)?
This is something I never really investigated in detail. I suppose you will not have too many problems as long as you mark your posts (or groups) as "adult only". I did not notice a lot of Adult activity around (but then again, I tend to stick to a dozen groups, and never really explore the rest of MeWe).

Anything else you want to ask, just write here.
Law is always lagging behind social norms, for many reasons.

Because of that, I don't think laws can change the world, this is the opposite, laws are merely acknowledging the common rules of the majority.

Technology also change the world and we need time to figure out new rules to adapt, in the case of Facebook and other giants, some changes are clearly in need, at least it seems to be a growing consensus.

My partner and I rolled our eyes at the 'harm to teenagers' bits when we heard NPR talking about it forever. How can anyone be surprised at this? Before instagram everyone bitched about teen-magazines harming teens, is this really surprising or that different? And IIRC the % was incredibly small. It's not like Instagram is leading teenagers off a cliff, it's unhealthy for teenagers who are already unhealthy. SHOCKER!
I can't think of much I would trade from now for something in the Jobs era. I can do without the rich Corinthian leather, the PowerPC, and the colored plastic.

Facebook was much smaller during Obama's election wins. It also hadn't even moved off the chronological feed at the time he was first elected. Returning back to that type of feed with no boosting content for virality or engagement would do a lot to "fix Facebook".

Also it is worth noting that Obama's campaign was largely based off positive emotions like hope and change while Trumps was largely based off negative emotions like outrage and divisiveness. People are angry that Facebook is manipulating us into negative emotions. People would be less upset if Facebook was manipulating us into positive emotions. So yes, Trump did shine a light on the problems with Facebook but that isn't because of a left/right bias like you are stating.
There is only one, really.

There is no guarantee that people will care about climate change in 10 years time.

Matter of fact there could be an opposite effect as too many politicians, influencers and VIPs are talking about climate change.

When people realize that they'd not die of climate change but more boringly : cancer, heart disease and alzhaimer just like their parents...they'd get really angry at those who are championing climate action for the sake of people who'd inhabit the earth 200-300 years from now, instead of doing something to stop those diseases and generally all the diseases related to old age.
