The fundamentaly new aspect of her revelation is the extent of FB awareness of the situation, that they have evidence that some previously tested minor modifications to their algorithm could reduce public harm and disinformation, but choose not to do so as it would hurt their profit. As the company has obligations to its shareholders to increase profit whenever possible, it has a conflict of interest making it impossible for them to choose the best option for the public good.

So it's really like auto makers not providing more than the minimal set of safety feature required by regulators.

We know that the only way to reduce said harm is by realigning incentives which requires involving the legislator.

Radically if the relationship to taxation was more of a voluntary customer relationship it could lead to better outcomes

The fundamental outcome of this "voluntary taxation" scheme would be that the wealthy would gain an extra layer of control over the actions of the state, aside from the vast influence this group already has (and the wealthy no doubt would be the ones able to make taxes voluntary in this way, notably).

Which is to say argument accept the fundamentally antidemocratic direction that bitcoin pushes society in but tries to paint a prettier face on it.

What is this even supposed to mean? Strict state controls on economic activity are more within the realm of authoritarian regimes, rather than democracies.

The middle class typically has a mortgage and student loan debt for which inflation benefits them.

Note those are anycast addresses, my guess is the DNS server gives out addresses for FB names pointing your traffic to the POP the DNS server is part of.

If the POP is not able to connect to the rest of Facebook's network, the POP stops announcing itself as available and that DNS and part of the network goes away so your traffic can go somewhere else.
>whose power cannot be really removed by traditional means

Can't it be removed by just not using the crypto? Crypto only has value if people buy into it making it a democratic system. People vote which crypto is best based on which they choose to use and pay attention to.
Can you explain how screen reader support could possibly have a noticeable performance cost?

The screen reader code should be doing absolutely nothing if it's not enabled - and even if it is, I can't imagine how it could affect performance anyway. For plain text, such as a terminal, all it does is grab text and parse into words (and then the part where it reads the words, but that's separate from the terminal) - I don't see how this is any more difficult than just taking your terminal's array of cell structs, pulling out the characters into a dynamic array, and returning a pointer to that.

"Blameless Postmortem" does not mean "No Consequences", even if people often want to interpret it that way.

It's not shocking. FB reported (as reported here and other places) at least more than a year ago that the most effective way to increase engagement was to spew racist hate. For that reason, they claimed, they made only minor changes.

What is disturbing to me is that FB pretends not to be a "publisher" to earn safe-harbor status but clearly is seen here to push one narrative over another. That should make them ineligible for safe harbor status.

Perhaps the most devastating news to come out was an aside in the WSJ investigation, where they quoted an anonymous 11 year-old boy, who said, "Facebook is for old people."

If he is right--and it is obvious that he is--FB will join print media in a slow, demographic decline. FB will joint MySpace in the irrelevancy archives because of this demographic decline.

Plug is actually very hard to learn, because its design is very simple, but knowing how to use this design to produce the effect you need requires a whole lot of mental gymnastics. A less generic design would account for, for example, "initialize this state on first time this plug is called" (I think something changed here, but don't remember if for the better) and similar things, but then it would be less generic and possibly not flexible enough to support all the things Phoenix and co. need from it.

That being said, Plug is still better than Phoenix, so if you're not in rush to build something and can experiment, then learning Plug first will give you better understanding of Phoenix later on.
It isn't being used to pay off the debt. That would be inflationary. It's being used to back the issuance of further debt, and in that sense it's a complete accounting trick. If we minted a quadrillion dollar coin for this purpose it would be equivalent to abolishing the debt limit.

My regular reminder that there is no fiduciary duty to behave unethically. Fiduciary duty is a class of highly specific legal obligations on directors to act attentively and not put their own financial interests above those of shareholders. It is not an obligation to maximise return on investment.

I don't think dismissal 1 applies anyway - even if RefTerm didn't implement, say, variable-width fonts - you could just build a terminal that uses RefTerm's fast algorithms for the common case, then falls back to the Windows Terminal's slower algorithms for the more general case.
> I just find this attitude incredibly frustrating

What attitude? The attitude that Apple's hardware is closed and Apple should be criticized for building a walled garden? That we should, where possible, invest in open hardware and technology and put our money where our mouths are, so as to create the kinds of economic incentives that ensure that technology remains open in the future?

Do you really disagree with that?

Ok, but is that true for GCP? The GCP portfolio seems to be intentionally run differently than products elsewhere within Google.

Looking at that list, there's not much of a record for GCP products. I'm just skimming, maybe Chatbase but I believe the plan was always to integrate it into Dialogflow itself.
As with cigarette seller, it was never in their best interest that their product cause cancer. But it does. In top of that they had evidence of it earlier than the public and chose to hide it.

Facebook had many internal whisteblowers that the platform was used to shape the public opinion and facilitate the genocide and choose to do nothing.

True.

The New York times and WaPo? You mean the ones that consistently do things like make up false allegations about children (Nick Sandmann... the kid who smiled) and take much more time to scrutinize the later proof of their wrong doing than they ever did for their initial reporting? This happens constantly. It's not a one time event. It's almost like they're pushing an agenda.

Why don't the provisions in the bill of rights lead to an amorphous group of oligarch gangsters and cartels who can escape prosecution because they are protected against searches/seizures/etc?

So what? These whataboutisms add nothing to the conversation.

People aren't going to stop caring about the carbon costs of crypto because other industries also suck. Think about it as an adoption blocker -- if your particular tech fetish can't address an issue that many, many people care about it is destined to be usurped by something that can. Would be awesome if the 'crypto bulls' would expend as much energy into ways to fix the carbon problem as they do arguing it doesn't matter.

I think it is a lot about under-performers that want to hang onto their "years of experience" as a selling point and being angry that there is not much of a market for "years of experience" only.

Maybe they were not under-performers 10-15 or 20 years ago, but if someone gives 20 pages of resume and most of it happened in 90's I would not be interested. Because it is quite easy to see such person is hanging onto his past performance like Al Bundy to his 4 touchdowns in high school.

If someone would be 50yrs old or even 60 but his last couple of years are taking most of resume and they did interesting work at that age I would be curious to talk to such person.

It is not that they would need to have latest frameworks or libraries listed on the CV. It is more about if they did meaningful work in last year and not that they did meaningful work 20 years ago and now they are just hanging around doing whatever.

Of course Apple advertise running your own kernel code on these machines. Here's the official documentation on custom kernel extensions (which are functionally equivalent to allowing other OSes):

And here's the kmutil manpage that explicitly describes the option they added to support fully custom kernels, which is what we use:

And here's a blog by the head of XNU development at Apple explaining how to build and run your own XNU kernel for these machines:

https://kernelshaman.blogspot.com/2021/02/building-xnu-for-m...

This isn't an accident. This is a documented, explicitly advertised feature that Apple put a significant amount of engineering time into developing.

There is a certain argument that both the red states and the blue states are wrong (perhaps on different issues) and that the best governing would a combination or compromise (which is what most people actually seem to want, given especially that all states are mostly purple).

> Maybe you have restraints or biases about work code being all ASCII

I'm heavily biased towards all-ASCII for everything except explicitly multilingual contexts (UIs, display formats, browsers, document editing, etc.). As far as I'm concerned, any byte set to any value above 127 in any source file should be a compile-time error. A few reasons why:

- It's basically guaranteed something somewhere will screw up the encoding. ASCII is the safest subset.

- Better ability to quickly, reliably input characters across machines and tech stacks.

- Easy to memorize. Characters are easily and immediately recognizable by everyone worldwide.

- Some fonts might lack support for some non-ASCII characters.

- Many non-ASCII characters are just plain unreadable. On my screen, lowercase alpha looks like a lowercase latin "A".

I can see an argument for allowing non-ASCII characters inside string literals and comments, but with non-ASCII identifiers you're just looking for trouble.
