I worried a lot about this when my kids were little and never came up with a good approach/solution.

The world is different enough to little kid brains, literally, that trying to instill the adult concept of money is like teaching a fish to ride a bicycle.

Now that they are older (late teens) I see now some opportunities that were not there before.

When they are little they need the emotional support and love to build the psychic infrastructure for safe, self-aware, healthy adulthood.

One can play games of course with monetary values but what is happening of importance in those games is the interaction itself, those emotional dynamics, not the material.

Money is a very, very refined sociological tool the purpose, context, utility, scarcity dynamics only make sense for a kid who can begin to participate in society. In most cases this doesn't start to be the case until mid or late teen years.

So my advice- for little kids, model love, openness, forgiveness, care, empathy, honesty, responsibility- all those underlying traits involved in being a good human. Much later, when the time is right, they can start to learn to apply those capabilities to the domains that involve money.

Best wishes.
We have:

1 some people complaining that EU will block innovation if it is not allowed to do face recognition on public places or without consent. This people want to "disrupt/innovate"

2 we have the theory that people will wear masks so facial recognition is impossible

So 1 and 2 can't happen at the same time, if the guys from 1 need to innovate then they need no masks , if 2 will happen then the guys from 1 are complaining for nothing because the virus fucked up their disruptive ideas.

Sorry if I was unclear before.
Yes, one of my banks does support using my CC for payment by NFC for Android 5.0 and up. I remember this because I'm annoyed that they don't support Apple Pay.

That said, I've seen exactly once someone using and Android phone to pay contactless. It was a huge pain, they tried multiple times.

Samsung Pay's Magnetic Stripe Emulation is much cooler, it's like magic. Unfortunately, magnetic stripes are a legacy tech.

Well there are thousands of entries, bad ones being called frequently, and it has been going on for over a decade. There's bound to be some good stuff in there.

Something I am not sure was mentioned here was dynamic loads. You could secure a bicycle mount to your wall using one of the aforementioned anchors, however the repetitiveness of bring the bike on and off the mount will cause the drywall to fail, and it will come crashing down at some point. Anchors are good for static loads. For dynamic loads, you will still need to find a stud. This is made even more complicated these days with the introduction of metal studs in so many buildings. At that point, a molly or toggle bolt into a metal stud is going to be your best bet.
You need not look far to observe that "spend less than you make" (to your point, impulse control) is much to know, and that most people don't.

> I just point my code to read/write from/to R2 instead of S3

This is probably worse for CloudFront than for S3 itself.

Double paying for storage is still going to be cheaper than egress fees overall.
Consider that there are "real numbers" as in some kind of construct that we as humans are interested in understanding, and then there's ZFC-real numbers, which is an attempt to formalize "real numbers" rigorously. What we know is that we can never rigorously take "real numbers" and uniquely formalize them and so any formal investigation of "real numbers" will be prone to multiple interpretations.

Given this, consider all models M that contain some set R(M) that satisfies ZFC's definition of real numbers and where R(M) is actually countable. Furthermore M also contains some set N(M) that satisfies ZFC's definition of natural numbers.

Within this model M, since N(M) satisfies ZFC's definition of the naturals, it is ZFC-countable (that is it satisfies ZFC's definition of a countable set). Furthermore applying Cantor's diagonal argument to M, one can show that M does not contain a set that represents a surjection from N(M) to R(M), hence R(M) is ZFC-uncountable (it satisfies ZFC's definition of being uncountable).

That said, all this means is that ZFC-countable, and ZFC-uncountable do not fully capture what it actually means to be countable or uncountable. ZFC-countable means a set has the same cardinality as whatever set satisfies ZFC's definition of natural numbers, which is not the same as what we as humans consider to be actual natural numbers.

Similarly being ZFC-uncountable just means a set has a greater cardinality than the set that satisfies ZFC's definition of natural numbers, but that does not mean that such a set is actually uncountable.

There is no way to extend ZFC so that what we consider to be actually countable or uncountable has one single unique interpretation. If there were then we could claim that said unique interpretation captured precisely our notion of countable and uncountable.

What we can do is jump up a level to second order logic, and in that logic it actually is possible to have one unique interpretation of countable and uncountable sets so that there is a unique and countable set of naturals and a unique and uncountable set of reals, but second order logic comes with its own set of ambiguities and issues that for the most part mathematicians reject outright.

I've commented elsewhere, and I'll comment here again: Cloudflare R2 is really a re-packaging / re-positioning of how most customers were using Cloudflare's CDN in the first place: As a low-cost content delivery network. As a small tech shop, we front S3 with Cloudflare (not CloudFront, because it's relatively expensive) for binary downloads, and pay single digit $ to AWS and $0 to Cloudflare. If we were pushing blobs through S3 + accelerated buckets; or S3 + CloudFront; or S3 + transfer-acceleration, our AWS bill would have been 3x / 5x.

Relying on Cloudflare to do tiered-caching / transfer-acceleration afforded by tight integration between its CDN and R2 would lead us to drop S3 altogether for our workloads.

We've also experimented using Workers KV as a blob store (it has a cap of 25MB per key; costs $5 per million writes, $0.5 per million reads; $5 per 10GB of storage; zero egress fee) and its pricing comes out cheaper than S3. We'd have moved to KV already if R2 hadn't been announced. Now, we think it is prudent to bide our time till R2 goes public.

But: we are a rather tiny tech shop and agonize over bill items like egress; most enterprises worry more about data security, compliance, and integration with big-data tools (like EMR, Athena, Firehose, RedShift etc). So, I am not sure if there'd be an exodus off-the-bat (at least not until Cloudflare has equivalent integrations / services in-place [0]). Though, I can see why companies like smugmug (who have been using S3 since 2006!) may move.

The killer here is, R2 will sweep away dev shops at the low-end of the market. If anyone's starting a bootstrapped SaaS company, not only does Cloudflare becomes the place for them to prototype a MVP (as opposed to AWS/Azure/GCP) but also an integration point for their offerings (consider: a Tableau competitor + R2) [1]. As noted by Ben Thompson a few days ago, there's little AWS can do despite knowing what's in store, other than cannibalize their own business (which they're not afraid to do!) [2]. We are entering uncharted waters here: Two companies fully drowning in HBS credos going after each other. Wonder what Clayton Christensen would have thought of that.

Philips drive is only good for drywall screws, because the cam-out is a feature. Robertson is ubiquitous in Canada; anything produced in or for the Canadian market tends to use it, and Philips is mostly only found in imported products. Although Tprx is getting more common for stuff like screwing down a subfloor or a deck.

I've slowly been replacing the original outlets in my 70s house, and for some reason they only used slotted drive screws, for everything.
"Educate yourself" is not an argument. If you can't briefly summarize an argument in your own words, you don't really understand it.

What I'm gathering from this conversation is that you have an emotional reaction to Facebook but haven't done the mental homework necessary to identify what specifically Facebook is doing wrong and what specific rules you would impose on social media platforms going forward.
It depends. Left and right is as real as any social construction. Like many social constructions it shares common features:

It's hegemonic. It's the basis for identity. It's socially reproduced. It's used as a wedge by elites to maintain power.

Substitute politics, race, gender, nationalism, etc. Same pattern. Despite it being socially constructed, there are still real material disadvantages when people don't conform. The choice between putting food on the table or non-conformity is real.
I think AWS backed themselves into a corner with their extremely high egress charges. I would wager that a pretty considerable amount of their revenue is from egress, so if they have to reduce egress pricing, it will take a pretty big chunk of their revenue.

Of course, I could be completely wrong. I would certainly welcome a correction.

Not saying your experience isn't true, but I've heard horror stories of accounts being disabled for using too much "non-HTML" bandwidth, even on business level ($200/month) accounts (at the single digit TB level). The limits seem to be arbitrary and ill defined.

CF may be great technically, but I personally wouldn't use them without an enterprise agreement in place. Bandwidth should be cheap, but cheap does not equal free.

Unless I had an enterprise agreement in place I'd rather work with a vendor that has a well defined usage-based pricing. I have a low appetite for risk, and usage-based pricing aligns incentives properly IMHO.

The kernel OOM killer is only concerned about kernel survival. It isn't designed to care about user perception of system responsiveness.

That's what resource control via cgroups is about. Fedora desktop folks (both GNOME and KDE) are working on ensuring minimum resources are available for the desktop experience, via cgroups, which then applies CPU, memory, and IO isolation when needed to achieve that. Also, systemd-oomd is enabled by default. The resource control picture isn't completely in place yet, but things are much improved.

I am still not clear on why that's a problem. If the goal is to reduce or deter crime, and there's an effective way to do that, why does it matter what correlation it has to outside demographic factors? I would argue that not containing crime in a known high-crime area just because of correlation to 'high levels of ethnic minorities' is itself racist, since that is itself an act of making race a factor in decision making. It also doesn't fit what minorities actually want. As an example, an overwhelming majority of Black Americans want policing to stay the same or increase (https://news.gallup.com/poll/316571/black-americans-police-r...), rather than decrease, despite what (predominantly-white) activists have been pushing for in the last year.

This article reminds me of the 80/20 rule: 80% of the result is achieved with 20% of the effort. You might not need the result's last 20%. Skip that excruciating, complicated 80% effort to get it.

Coffee is a good example for me. I like a decent cup, or a drinkable espresso beverage. So I bought a cheap, good condition Gaggia Classic Pro espresso machine; a quality hand grinder; and an AeroPress. Learned to operate all 3. Boom, decent coffee & espresso.

Can I crush tasting competitions or make fancy latte art? Nah. Being "80% of a barista" is fine to me. I don't need to spend ten large on equipment and hundreds (thousands?) of hours becoming 20% more of an expert. I'm having fun, don't spend $15/day on coffee, and my family enjoys the result. That'll do, pig. That'll do.

Does this rule apply to surgery or financial security systems? Hope not. But you get the idea. I make coffee and Folgers it ain't. Maybe keeping "good enough" and the 80/20 rule in mind could simplify our lives.

Speaking from experience, using sheet metal screws in metal studs only works sometimes. A lot of the time the screw doesn't catch, and if you apply a horizontal pulling force, you can just pull the whole thing out. We had mounted some closet brackets to metal studs using sheet metal screws, and it held for a while. But eventually the brackets came out of the wall. We went back in with toggles and it's all good.
How about working there and doing a bad job? Is that a moral postion?

Do you need consent to be photographed or filmed in public spaces? At least in the US, there is no expectation of privacy in public spaces and if someone wants to film you - whether an amateur photographer, a journalist, or a police officer - they are permitted to, simply because it is their constitutional right to do so.

It should be remembered that Trump was not kicked off of Twitter until after a literal insurrection which he had helped to incite. It's not entirely clear if Trump's speech crosses the very high bar set by Brandenburg v Ohio, which you should recall holds that advocating violent overthrow of the government is First Amendment-protected free speech, but that it is toeing that line means that said speech would be outright illegal in most countries.

> But that is different than clicking 'like' button on a deluge of information nobody has the time to validate for accuracy or relevance.

This is exhausting. Over and over again in this thread, I see people use dramatic rhetoric to describe in sweeping terms what Facebook should or should not be allowed to do, but there's seldom any discussion of actual concrete and specific rules.

You say people shouldn't have like buttons? Well, what about HN? Why should't I be able to upvote a comment? Why shouldn't I be able to like a tweet? Is it okay if I have to type out "I like this" instead of clicking a like button?

I get that you're dissatisfied with the current social media environment, but expressions of vague dissatisfaction combined with angry rhetoric don't move us forward. We need to put specific proposals on the table, not just rail against "opaque algorithms" generally.

(Also, the algorithms being "opaque" isn't the problem. I'm sure that people would still have a problem with FB feed ranking even if the code were open source.)

> Notice how there are no clear criteria for evaluation in this space? No math. No models. Just loose concepts strung together with words and sprinkled with calls to authority (e.g., Andy Grove) to add credibility. No evidence. No science.

Indeed, this is a very good observation from which many ideas occur to me:

Which one do I prefer?

Is one obviously better? (I don't think this is a good question: It's like asking which is better, an API reference (a math textbook with a long list of theorems and definitions) or an API tutorial (a math textbook which holds your hand and explains "intuitively"). It depends on what you need).

Isn't it the case that initial explanations (explorations into a new topic) are like this at first, and over time (usually through work spanning multiple generations) the theories become more mathematical?

All in all I wonder about the difference between these two contrasting approaches towards understanding. And I wonder about it in such abstract (philosophical?) terms that the specific "organizational design" is just an instance of what I'm curious about; which is the different ways to explain the same things and other ways to approach "understanding" in general.

I concede these are all good points and I genuinely appreciate the discourse. Speaking only for myself, I see the challenges as:

1. Preserve the content and culture of these platforms for users and future historians (in the case of Reddit, Pushshift and the Internet Archive). UGC ("user generated content") belongs to users first and foremost.

2. Continue to find opportunities to reduce the moats of incumbents and the friction of standing up alternatives. If a site disappears, there should be little impact to anyone other than employees and shareholders.

3. Be ready to jump in and scale up when incumbents misstep (Signal and Telegram seeing huge membership jumps during Facebook's extended outage earlier this week, Digg's redesign helping Reddit's growth, etc).

If you are strict in making their account the only way for them to buy stuff, it can help join the dots in their heads.

As I say, I still squirm a little about this, because really they ought to do most of these chores without needing bribes, but you do what you must to survive.
Don’t Shower During a Thunderstorm, and Other ‘Myths’ That Are True
Similar story, in a larger firm. There are internal incentives where teams are compared against each other and a lot of it hinges on delivering things when a team said it would.

This leads to all sorts of strategies to make that happen: from cutting corners, to underpromising, to padding estimates. In the end, the sum of it all is that nobody is able to paint an accurate picture of the capabilities of teams overall because everything is so heavily skewed by internal incentives and competition.
