> If price gouging were legal, are you going to stockpile masks and sanitizer for a hundred years, so you're ready for the next gobal pandemic?

You’re not understanding the play here. All you need to do slightly increase the amount you keep in stock and reduce JIT delivery dependence. This increases your capital expenses a few percent and only pays off if you can occasionally make big money by drawing on your extra stock.

You also seem to misunderstand the law - it’s not illegal anywhere in the US (afaik) for random people to stockpile and resell goods. It doesn’t matter, because that’s not really a viable distribution strategy. It is illegal in many states for stores to suddenly raise prices, and stores are the institutions who would actually be equipped to absorb demand shocks.

American culture is really broad.

I don't see the immaturity angle. I think lots of folks become envious and it creates hostility, but envy shouldn't be written off as immaturity.

In some cultures in the USA, money issues are kept private. And even among the cultures where it isn't, individuals may be comfortable sharing it themselves but not with others sharing it, or it being broadcast to the world.
Let me explain. Far-right is simply anything to the right of the far-left. Facts are not facts unless and until they are approved facts, and fact-checked by the establishment press fact-checkers. Facts that are non-facts can turn into facts in time if they become useful to the establishment or, in rare cases, cannot be asserted while also asserting other, more important facts, without excessive contradiction. Also, to be facts, they must originate in mainstream institutions, preferably the DNC or any of the capture institutions of government. Technically, these facts are factitious, but they are not, in fact, lies. Lies are truths that contradict facts, so defined. It is important where facts are published because anything that doesn't originate in fact-based institutions can be dismissed without consideration of the merits. It is analogous to not having standing in a court case. In some cases, facts published in far-right outlets can also be published in centrist (i.e., far-left) outlets, if those facts can be spun to serve the controlling interests.

In the past several years I was able to leverage Facebook groups to meet people and find activities when I moved abroad, furnish an apartment when I moved back, discover a niche retro gaming community that I adore, share photos and memories with old friends when a high school friend passed away, collect stories and remembrances that were shared for an uncle who died and share those with his elderly, non-tech parents, to name just a few experiences that would be difficult to replicate without Facebook.

I don't like Facebook, but I can't deny the value it has added to my life.

With a Yubikey, you need to use your password to log in to your computer, and then need to auth using Yubikey.

With OTP app, you need to use your password to log into your computer, passcode for phone, and then auth.

In both cases, it's something you know, and something you have. You could argue that the app based is a bit more secure in that you need two passwords. On the flipside, if your phone gets pwned, someone can access completely remote.

Everything is a tradeoff.
Wait, does everyone get a free Tesla with FSD at some point?

Sort of, the argument is more like "Computers don't kill people. People with computers kill people by starting revolutions, committing online crimes, etc. Also, people with computers do lots of non lethal and helpful stuff as well too."

Facebook and mass social media are like that computer. Lots of benefits, lots of detriments as well. Doesn't mean you should cancel the computer.
I'm sorry if I misread your message.

This is were I'm at:

brought up the fact it could also identify innocent people as criminals. When innocent people are accused of crimes they didn't do, they usually get upset.

I didn't say I personally was upset with your message. I said they would get upset. I'm not a "people" person, but this should be obvious. And I think I would be upset too if I got accused of something I didn't do.

You still didn't tell me how you would resolve an innocent person being misidentified by a facial recognition system. Can they sue the company or person who developed it?

The point isn't to authenticate control of an account, it's to tie the account to some kind of expensive-to-replicate real-world cost, ideally one that most potential customers are already paying for.

Phone numbers are nice because the marginal cost to a customer is low (they probably already have one) while the marginal cost to a bad actor is high (it's expensive to acquire many of them or to change one once it's been identified as malicious).
In later stages of Greek it meant blue, but I also had read how for Homer it probably did not mean that. Here's a quote from the related Wikipedia entry:

The word kyanós (κυανός), which in later stages of Greek meant blue, does make a limited appearance, but for Homer it almost certainly meant "dark", as it was used to describe the eyebrows of Zeus.

The British could abolish slavery because they no longer had any real economic incentive to keep it, as they had lost their colonies. They also then proceeded to exploit labor in India in barely better conditions.

If Britain retained its American colonies (because the slave holding ones didn’t join the revolution) then abolition might not have happened at all.
My point is proven.

The problem is that it does contain everything, and therefore contains nothing (worth knowing that you don't already know).

In other words, you could never find an answer that you could say, with 100% certainty is accurate, unless you already knew the answer. You can't ask an unending database a question that you don't already know the answer to, because every answer is there.

Ask it, what is the primary atomic structure of beef? You'll get answers for anything. They're made of carbon. They're made of rainstorms. They're not real. You're beef.

The IKEA cabinets have a flimsy back, it's the sides that take the load. And moving sideways would have meant giving up a cabinet, not ideal in a small kitchen.

There aren't any good Smart Watches, really. Apple aren't good smartwatch manufacturers when their smartwatches only know how to talk to other Apple devices and services (like HealthKit or whatever it's called) and actively prevent compatibility with other systems. I mean, that's just buying into Apple's hype. If their watch was so good, they'd make it talk through open standards and they wouldn't go for ecosystem lock-in: it would be good on its own merit.

My Samsung Galaxy watch has had an EKG sensor for longer than it has taken for Apple to add their own. It's technologically superior, and also has a circular face instead of being a big square block, and has better battery life since I can get a good 2 days or more out of it. But ultimately it is also as bad as Apple because it only works well with Samsung's ecosystem.

Okay, so people seeing different feeds is good...

... and now people seeing different feeds is bad.

Make up your mind.

Different people should see different feeds because they're interested in different things. There's nothing sinister or nefarious about showing people stories about topics that interest them and not showing them stories about topics that don't.

I think even you'd agree that someone should be able to opt into seeing stories about "cooking" and opt out of stories about "motorcycles". Okay, that's good, right? Now what's wrong with using ML to infer, based on what someone reads, that he's interested in "cooking" and not "motorcycles"?

This interest inference is what FB is doing. There's nothing bad about it.

I maintain that the criticism you and others are lobbying against algorithmic feeds is logically incoherent, emotionally rooted, and unworkable as public policy.

I'm not convinced this is necessarily the worst option?

On one hand, the police being paid for by the company for their enforcement, especially so much money, definitely creates perverse incentives for the police officers to disrupt the protests more than they should.

On the other, the police were going to do it anyways because several of the protesters were breaking the law. I'd rather the police be doing this than a private enforcement company who is entirely dependent on the pipeline company, without the additional duties of being a police officer.

So I'm not sure where to stand on this.
I've heard (but don't have any actual evidence more than hearsay) that Twitch generally operates independently of Amazon/AWS. I'm sure that they share some things, but I wouldn't be surprised if their source was separate from the "main repo"
Any tax experts know how this will apply to something like rent. If you pay rent and your roommates vemno or transfer you money will that be considered taxable. Do we need to be keeping receipts or a paper trail to show this money was not income?

I don’t know the situation in the EU, given the privacy laws, but in the U.S., banks’ enhanced data from app-based contactless payments (on Android, obviously) sell at a premium to those through a scrubbed channel. The app picks up a lot more information, e.g. signals, location, device, clipboard, et cetera, than the payment transcript.

> While working at Google's Project Chauffeur, the self-driving car program that would later evolve into Waymo, Levandowski allegedly modified the car's software so it could be taken on routes that were previously off-limits. After another employee became angry with Levandowski for altering the code, the two began to argue — which resulted in Levandowski taking the employee on a test run to prove his point, an executive told the New Yorker.

> Levandowski caused an accident during that test run, a former Google executive told the New Yorker. Google's self-driving Toyota Prius allegedly blocked another car from merging onto the highway, which caused the other driver to swerve into the highway median. Levandowski allegedly then took control of the Prius and swerved to avoid contact with the vehicle, but the violent motion seriously injured the other employee's spine.

> Even though Levandowski and Google's self-driving car appeared to have caused the accident, the pair allegedly drove off without checking to see if the other driver was okay, and the incident wasn't reported. Even after Google's self-driving Prius was involved with an accident, Levandowski defended his safety standards, and sent his coworkers an email with the subject line "Prius vs Camry" that contained a video of the accident.

"Not catering to it" and "refusing to allow anyone to build a solution, even if they're willing to put in the resources" are very different. On Android, if Google's wallet thing has a limitation I don't like, I can easily use another NFC payment app.

Also, this isn't a missing feature but an arbitrary limitation, so again, Apple doesn't need to "cater to it", just raise an int in the source code from 6 to 20 or whatever.
This is true about almost any company. Closed source generally means you can have lower standards.

Separating the messenger from the message is crucial here. Being around in the valley for far too long, I've seen the kind of leadership he is griping about. Focussing on the wrong things, shutting down great ideas, moving too slow and outright refusing to acknowledge failures. Eventually the competitors move up ahead and you fail to deliver. You either pull out of the market, continue building a mediocre product that sees a couple of years of "meh" adoption or you buy the competitor. All of which can be avoided.

Anyway AMP is bad because it proposes an Internet without the freedom to push dynamic content (JavaScript, webassembly, etc...), cached at "google servers" for fast delivery but with features specifically built so Google Analytics and others can keep working, it doesn't solve anything that a good css style wouldn't solve plus content creators lose control of their data.
It's hard to say how things would have gone differently, but I don't think it would have been much different.

I can imagine a society that doesn't value privacy functioning much better than ours if the lack of privacy is somehow thoroughly universalized. Secrets allow for concentration of power, something we should avoid.

That being said I'm well aware of how load bearing "somehow thoroughly universalized" is in my statement. Perhaps it's only possible in a culture that truly rejects secret keeping as deeply harmful from an individual level up. I don't believe we can get there from here anytime soon, and if we tried it would just be another system for the people who figure out how to keep secrets to exploit that info asymmetry. In a world of cooperating actors though . . . yeah, I know I'm dreaming.

The question for scheduling prediction is: what distribution of time will it take to mark any task in this queue as FIXED/INVALID/WONTFIX/OBSOLETE/etc? The queue can have any amount of vagueness you want in it.

Regardless of the embedded work, regardless of whether or not it changes, becomes invalid, doesn't exist, etc - these are all probability weights for any given task/project.
