The streaming part or the downloading/looking at code?

You can look at leaked source code for educational purposes in most places (not legal advice). As far as I understand leaks are commonly used in vulnerability research for example (if the bad guys can use it so can bug hunters).

Streaming copyrighted material is a separate issue - but using it for "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching" should fall under fair use, no?

EU to file anti-trust against Apple over NFC chip: claim
They will be getting many trash reports for sure.

The mobile carrier that I use has an app on the App Store that subscribers can install in order to view their subscription, change subscription plan, and view past and present bills/invoices. The app itself is pretty good, it's snappy and easy to use. Only shortcoming is that they have a widget that comes with the app but the widget doesn't work and they have been aware of this for a long time without fixing it.

Anyways, I was looking at the reviews and most were positive. But then there was one review that stood out. A one star review, and get this – the review was complaining about something totally orthogonal to the app itself. They were complaining about the prices of the plans the carrier is offering. The pricing of the plans that your carrier is offering is not relevant to managing your plan through this app.

These kinds of irrelevant complaints are sure to show up in reports too, like you say. But let's hope that the amount of those will stay relatively low.
Microsoft, Google/Alphabet, Adobe, Zoom, NetApp- a who's who of Silicon Valley. There is zero evidence of American companies ignoring talented Asian executives- the shareholder could care less as long as the stock progresses.
I do expect the company that sells hardware to their users to allow users to decide which apps to run on sold devices. Currently, Apple is behaving as if still owns those devices and decides which apps to run. Precisely this lock-in created by apple is actively exploited by authoritarian regimes.

If Apple will allow third-party app stores or direct installation of applications on devices, dictatorships will lose this capability to harm Apple's customers.

But of course we all know that this policy was never intended to protect users, it was to protect Apple and their appstore monopoly, which also allows Apple to extort developers of 30% of all of their revenues by forcing them into Apple's payment services. Finally, the world has had enough of this and starts to fight back against it.

The police in the US are atrocious. It’s an easy problem to solve. Dissolve the only union that rightfully needs to be dissolved— the police union. Put cops on practitioners insurance like nurses and back that up with always on cameras that the police department has no access to. It’s a low skilled, low bar for entry job. Finding candidates should be a breeze.

> It adds a layer of indirection which helps prevent moral hazard. If the company pays taxes to the local government, and the local government pays the police department, AND the company is not allowed to pay the police department directly, there is less possibility for the company to incentivize particular behaviors.

According to the article there's already a layer of indirection.

"independent account manager allocates the funds"

What's the difference between "independent account manager" and "local government" in this case? Moreover, what can either party do to influence the police's behavior? Does having "evil pipeline co." on the check make the police chief more willing to beat up protesters or something?

>The police budget should be set by the local government

Considering that the payment is being forced by the utility commission, I doubt the local government is able to spend the money as they see fit (ie. spend it on schools rather than police). For all intents and purposes their budget-setting ability is fairly limited.

>breaking protestor lines should not come with rewards provided by a private company, that investigating regular public crimes would not have.

Is there any indication that's the case? As far as I understand it the utility commission is forcing the pipeline company to give the police a given amount, and the pipeline is complying with that requirement. Is the pipline company setting a bounty per protester beaten up or something?
> If what you are doing can be done well in very mature ecosystems like React or PyTorch, the effort to recreate them will dwarf the time spend on important work.

Sometimes that's effort that's not really necessary. At work we had a team build a dashboard with React and a few graphs recently. It clocks at 2000 unique dependencies. That's not a typo, it's two thousands dependencies for a few graphs. Reimplementing all of that would take many man-years of work, but I think it wouldn't be necessary in the first place. Chart.js doesn't use any runtime dependencies, and could probably fill most of our needs. Chart.js is 50k of Javascript, which is a lot but probably more than we need. I don't know how much time it would take to make a reimplementation to have the API we need, but I think it's doable. Why would we want to do that? Because those 2000 dependencies are a liability. Last time I checked 165 were looking for funding. It would be easy to imagine a malicious actor paying a few people to contribute to low profile but widely used JS libraries, and take over the maintenance when the original maintainer becomes tired. I don't know if this is a worse liability than developing our own chart library. I don't know much about security and the tradeoff involved.

All of that to say, isolation from the broader ecosystem may be a good thing.
We don't have to win over right-wingers, they're a lost cause. I think among the broad left, the contradictions of race and gender are healing slowly. For example, a black marxist professor told me that in the 1960s white people could not show up to a police brutality protest, but now the George Floyd protests were fully mixed race.

The condition of the capitalist system is declining and more people are feeling it. By removing things the elites can point to, we narrow their ability to navigate.

The right wing is turning to conspiracy and nationalism as they usually do. However, they are the minority of the country (the friends and family of the ownership class is necessarily smaller than the prolaterians), they just have the ability to do a LOT of damage.
> I think I'd love a job as an architect, but that's unobtainable from my current level.

I’ve thought this for years, given how many crazy things I’ve designed and architected in my head, but never built.

But just as I found out with programming, I have a feeling it’s a lot more boring when applied to “real world” problems.
>I wonder how many of these compliance driven innovation opportunities (great term, btw) there are, thanks to bureaucracy.

Tons. I'd venture to say that the majority of B2B companies out there exist because they offer some form of assistance in dealing with compliance across the country/world. Even though we probably don't think of that as their primary service. Example: payroll services - the money transfers are the easy part, a company is really paying these services to do tax compliance.

One of the problems with starting a company like this is finding all of the niches that exist. You kind of have to have worked in a sector to learn what some of the pain points are that can be eliviated.

Agree completely, that's why they say the biggest decline in recent years has been the middle class, so much attention in making sure everyone in the middle is equally in the middle, and less focus on the fact that the middle is itself on a decline.

> Thus, the people taking fiber out of and putting sugar into everything are the biggest current mass killers. Stringing them up may be an over-reaction. Maybe convicting them would be, too? Anyway stopping them seems like a good idea. Think about them next time the news is full of somebody killing a dozen people. Is a dozen bad, but a million A-OK?

IMO simply not compelling millions of people to pay them for it would be a good start. Defund all the agencies that promote poison, whether by subsidizing corn syrup, villianizing natural saturated fats to sell trans fats and sugar, or conspiring with drug companies and corrupt researchers to sell addictive substances (as discussed this week: https://dynomight.net/alcohol-trial/).

So what? Facebook has a lot of users, that doesn't negate the point that quitting is not hard, people just like Facebook, they don't want to quit.
Can another emirate prosecute a crime that occurred in Dubai?
> a simple thing that the handbook doesn't talk much about is "when to quit", let alone when and how to engage in concerted action with other team members, and what the risks/benefits of that are.

That may be because often trotted out as a convenient solution to any sort of wrongdoing by a lot of privileged people who themselves have their pick of jobs in US companies.

It's a convenient null hypothesis that could be the substitute for any remedy in this guide. Harassed by your boss? Quit. Company you work for is engaging in wildly illegal stuff? Quit. Facing racism? You guessed it.

That's not to say that quitting is not a convenient and probably the easiest option for a lot of people. I have used it myself. It's just not the one this guide is meant for.

So I think that asking for a "when to quit" part of this guide would be like asking for a "when to know you should just give up and buy a new car" section in a car repair manual [1]. But if you want a lot of people to be good at repairing cars, I would hazard that including a "when to quit and just buy a new car" section wouldn't be high on your list of things to add.

As for the concerted action bit, I have to agree - adding them would be good. My guess is that it would be unionization lite, and those are a non-starter in the US for a million reasons.

[1] I have to admit I am not particularly clear on this point in reality, because I have never seen a car repair manual. Ouch. Anyone here who has actually seen one? Make me eat my words!

These numbers have more to do with who is responding to the optional IEEE benefits survey (the IEEE target demographic) than it does actual salaries.

There is a lot that seems odd with these numbers and they do not appear to be not very representative as they are poorly sampled and undersampled. the very first chart shows slow steady growth and in the others we see tons of massive jumps - for instance they show median male salary jumping from 112k in 2018 to 156k in 2020. That would be an insane jump for an entire industry in 2 years (unless the sampling is poor as is the case here).
I hope you're able to draw a distinction between protests of the public near a state park and through native land against a company and their pipeline which is inherently an issue of public land usage and environmental concerns and some thief rummaging through your garage. It should be very obvious why that is a bad faith comparison.

The right of the public to protest and protect their land, in a democracy at least, holds quite some value, and furthermore in a democracy the police answers to the people and citizens it serves, in this case native people, they should not have the oil company CEO on speed dial.

I think that implies that either "exceptions" are misnamed in Python (as in every other language with that name, they're meant to be exactly that - exceptional - so whatever Python calls "exceptions" isn't the same as in other languages), or that that particular idiom is wrong, and needs to be rethought.
This is a hard problem still. AFAIK, it's still not really well understood what constitutes lack of compliance. I've worked at a few companies where we just work with a legal team to get an okay.
That's mostly because of the lack of midmarket cars.

I bought a used sub-$20k electrical car a few months ago; it can be done. The market needs pressure to create cars in that price range; right now EVs are mostly luxury cars. Tesla is not the car we should be aiming for; what we need are things in the class of the E-Golf, Kia Niro, FFE, Fiat 500E etc. that are the size of a Corolla and cost 20k CAD or less.

Until that's common on the market, the value proposition is flawed and nobody is buying an electric car to save money except for people who buy used cars that someone else has eaten the depreciation on (like me), or people who drive a LOT. Everyone else is basically buying these things as luxury items, and the cost doesn't matter, especially when you can get near-0% financing over 5+ years.....

Not only there was no referendum that allowed Norwegians to decide if this was their political volition, but political volition alone is not enough to tax something. If it were, everything would be taxed, because you can construct any 51% against any 49% on any topic and add a tax.

If you want to know what Norwegians really think about the tax, make it optional and see how many people pay for it.
>The vast majority were part of the far-right organizations, it was organized by far-right organizations. We have the evidence, we have their communications, they were stupid enough to post everything on social media, we have the video of their little hoodies and logos.

You also have no basis for this claim. Yes, there were multiple contingents of so called "far right" (some/most of these groups are explicitly anti-authoritarian, as evidenced by the Gasden flag in addition to their public statements), but as I've said previously, these groups are not large enough to comprise the "vast majority". Most of these were trump supporters who attended a protest. If you want to argue that the named groups instigated the riot, that's certainly a reasonable position. But claiming that a substantial number of attendees belonged to these "far right" groups is at best unsubstantiated and at worst misinformation.

Further, if their communications contained any evidence of an attempted insurrection/coup, you would have seen corresponding convictions already. I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of these communications consisted of politically themed shitposting anyway.

But we've veered quite far from the original subject, the argument that a lack of firearms is enough evidence to conclude that this was neither a coup nor an insurrection, but merely an impromptu riot spawned of a protest.
