We don't have to continue the discussion but I'll wrap this up regardless for the peanut gallery.

As I've mentioned, my metaphor is request, response. This additional data is included, unsolicited, piggybacking on the response. I think this is clear.

Regarding the crime, no, this is completely incorrect. It sounds like you're referencing 18 USC § 1030. This law cannot apply whatsoever to this situation because there is no unauthorized access. The data was pushed, unsolicited, as part of an authorized access. It's being sent to all users when they use the system in a normal authorized fashion.

Viewing the data takes place on the user's own device, because the state itself put the information there. We are all authorized to access our own devices as much as we please.

The suggestion that the CFAA might apply here is nothing short of absurd.

I think Reddit is uniquely harmful to its users in several ways, maybe even moreso than Facebook:

- Users get an intense, one-sided parasocial relationship but with no upside of even communicating directly with each other

- The hivemind effect is very real, and using Reddit often gives people a very false sense of superiority of their knowledge on any given topics

- Misinformation is rife. Even outside of the conspiracy hubs. It's amazing how many of the "front page" posts are often misleading or slanted

- Astroturfing and content farming is even more prevalent but with less moderation.

LiveView can actually decrease B/W and load, because the HTML diffs are more efficient than sending JSON, and the statefulness means you don't need to constantly refetch user information from DB/cache, etc. The details depend on your app and how carefully you optimize it, but it's far from being an unconditional "dramatic increase".

Nothing. It's happening. In so many ways. It's just that it looks different than you think it should. Half of the links you put up there are failed experiments. And it's not hard to imagine why, an Integral Urban House in Amazonian Brazil? These people are poor and just trying to feed their families. In fact I have a hard time envisioning any of these approaches working outside of relatively lush geographies nestled in wealthy countries with a deep store of knowledge and the culture to support adroit changes in near and long term policy.

nothing is more frustrating for me that to have a goal, and a path, but be unable to get there because of .. issues. i know thats programming and working in an organization

but if it is going to take me a year to deliver an X, I probably wouldn't choose to do it. a month, hell yes. the worst - pulling the trigger on X assuming it will take a month + delta and have it take a year.

there's also the reward and momentum factor. if i keep getting nice wins i get pulled into doing more interesting work. if its going to be another 6 weeks before i can see any demonstrable progress... i'm actually going to go alot slower and be tempted to just forget the whole thing.

some of us are actually in it to _do stuff_....not just show up at standups and collect a check. honestly though maybe i have less to show for wanting to dig into real work.

another important context here is that Jamie is driven by a desire to make programming more useful and accessible to people. the fact that he's trying to quantify that is quite interesting and relevant to that goal.

so .. put in your 40 hours and have a life. there are other people with differnt goals.

one thing that has kinda irked me about serde is that there's relatively limited support for bounding memory usage for types like a Vec<T> at deserialize time without a lot of manual work.

It is doable (e.g. see SafePSBT deserializer here https://github.com/sapio-lang/sapio/blob/master/ctv_emulator...), just not particularly ergonomic.
But other citizens don't have to prove they will be in a city in the future to prove residency; it's sufficient to prove they've been in a city in the past to fulfill residency requirements.

Why should it work any differently for a homeless person?

Mortality is going to be dramatically reduced once nearly everyone has T-cells+B-cells that recognize the virus. If everyone got vaccinated we'd be out of the pandemic phase and into the endemic phase with a virus that looked more like just a flu/cold.

Vaccines are a 10x or 20x improvement in death and hospitalization rates. That's just a fact. All these antivirals won't have that kind of impact and are closing the barn doors after the horse has escaped. Which is not to say we don't research both, but vaccination is the simple easy and effective answer. There's a considerable technological fetish with antivirals while boring vaccines are now treated with skepticism, which is backwards. Antivirals should be used after vaccines have failed in vulnerable populations, the major weapon against viruses is vaccines, and they work.
I wonder about the guy at the Houston Astros game recently. The FBI got a tip that a long-vanished white collar criminal (John Ruffo) was at the game. They located the ticket holder and interviewed him to determine he was not the guy after all.

He was reasonably close in appearance, allowing for age progression.

So I have to wonder: Was the tip a high probability hit in a facial recognition database?
That's par for the course with JetBrains. I'm a big fan of PyCharm, don't get me wrong. It was the first IDE I've tried out of maybe a dozen that actually gave me a reason to convert from Vim with plugins and a number of self-written project mgmt/organization tools.

That said, JetBrains often rolls out new things while sitting on long-standing bugs. There's three or four issues in PyCharm and TeamCity that I've been tracking for a couple of years that are older than my kids. Hell, I think one of the TeamCity issues is almost old enough to get a learner's permit.
Oh it's turned on, but it always only boils down to "turn it totally off" or "here is the whitelist". Such a lacking tool.
Hey pal, honestly, I loved reading this reply. If you’re ever in the market for a Canadian friend who likes political discourse, my email is in my profile. Otherwise, if you happen to blog, let me know - it’s remarkably rare to find such clearheaded political discourse in Canada. This is an incredibly cool moment and seriously, thank you.

Your last sentence is one of my favourite things I’ve read about Canadians. It reminds me a little of something Pierre Berton would have written. I love Canada, dig Canadiana and find our people’s history absolutely fascinating. But as a culture, we’ve never been capable of having a complex debate as a nation without going back to the same debates we had pre-Confederation. As far as we’ve come, it wouldn’t be wrong to talk about the Northwest versus Upper Canada. That’s bloody weird…

Have a perfect Friday friend!
> none of the three things you mentioned are anywhere close to monopolies.

I think it depends on what you consider "the market" to be.

If I want to compare Amazon to the "Global Retail Market" (Amazon's preferred framing), then maybe they aren't in a monopolistic position.

But I—as ab individual—don't participate in the Global Retail Market. I participate in the "online US retail" and "Pacific Northwest retail" market. So I don't get much benefit out of there being more competition to Amazon in France, so the "Global Retail Market" doesn't seem like it's always the right framing. For me, it's still the case that Amazon doesn't feel like a monopoly, but I could imagine areas where Amazon is much closer to being one of just a small number of options for many products.

Similarly, I'm sure Facebook wants to be evaluated against _all_ communication media, but again I want to communicate with people in my immediate network. If 100% of my social network and business contacts used exclusively Facebook for communication, then from _my_ perspective Facebook might have a monopoly on my communication options (even if they have real competition in China from competitors).

I'm not so convinced that we should just accept the broadest possible interpretation of "the market" that we should evaluate as the correct framing. From the perspective of some individuals, if there is only a single dominant option, then that person still needs to deal with anti-trust issues.

It's similar to the way some of the major internet players will carve up the country into regions of fairly exclusive offerings. Across US broadband, the market may be divided amongst a number of different players such that it doesn't appear to be a monopoly. But when you zoom in to an individual municipality, it might be that there _is_ a monopoly at that level, and the competition that appears to exist in the "national market" is actual a union of separate monopolies (and other regions where there is actual competition).

So, while I totally agree with you that under the legal definitions of monopolies, many of these entities are not there, under individuals _practical_ definition of monopolies, many of these entities _are_ monopolistic.
Part of the problem is that the meaning of “beta” has gotten extremely diluted, and is often used as a CYA rather than an actual indicator of where the software is in the dev cycle. Gmail was in “public beta” for what, five years? Game companies routinely give out “alpha” access that’s really more of a pre-release test and hype tool.

Downtown housing stock tends to be old in most cities. It's prohibitively expensive to buy a building, tear it down, rebuild something bigger and hope that it's worth enough to pay for the above.

It's cheaper to buy unused land and build on it. Well, cheaper to the homeowner anyways. The costs of maintaining ambulance/fire/police/sewage/electricity infrastructure are huge, but born by the whole city usually.

If you want to stop sprawl, have city/state taxes be based on the cost to provide service to your address. Taxes in the cities will likely go down (there's probably a customer per few feet of sewage pipe), and taxes in the suburbs will be astronomical (where there's probably a hundred feet of piping per customer).

The amount of resources allocated per-consumer in the suburbs is bad, and in rural areas is crazy. I'm in the suburbs and there's probably 50 feet of clearance between houses on all sides. That's 100 feet of piping to connect our houses, 100 feet of electrical wiring, etc.

And yet I pay the same taxes as I did when I lived downtown in an apartment complex, where each resident probably had 1/2" of city-owned piping connected to it.
Welp, this is making me realize I was just wrong. My understanding of the science was something like you can find asymptomatic vaccinated individuals with similar viral loads to asymptomatic unvaccinated people, which is a bit meaningless when you're choosing a threshold for "infected" and when random chance will just see some people at any level. So to be clear it's not that I think the questions shouldn't be investigated, but a statement like "some vaccinated cases have high viral loads" is meaningless to explaining what my risk of spreading covid is.

Trying to avoid the sort of bias that comes from trying to reinforce rather than question existing views, but I do still think the statement "No Significant Difference in Viral Load Between Vaccinated and Unvaccinated, Asymptomatic and Symptomatic Groups Infected with SARS-CoV-2 Delta Variant" despite being much more precise is still a bit unintuitive in it's implication. Because essentially what this means right is that they sampled people's viral loads, and then cut out everyone below a value they choose to mean "infected". It's still true that even if I had symptoms because I'm vaccinated my odds of having a high viral load are much lower. Presumably if you didn't remove all the samples with less than some concentration you'd see significant differences.

I think that something the scientists got wrong consistently with covid was not unflinchingly communicating what was likely to be true mostly out of a fear that the public would take interventions that only moderately improved their safety like wearing a mask, and start doing riskier things or because of a bias towards doing nothing when clear evidence didn't exist. It can feel like similar things are happening with vaccination where it does seem pretty clear that getting vaccinated reduces your risk of passing on covid both because you're less likely to ever get a colony of the virus sufficient to count as "infected" and because you're likely to have a shorter infection.
Maybe you misread the article - the obsession here is with "speedup", which is not the same as productivity.

The author gives the example that instead of simply doing more X, being faster can enable you do Y instead of X (where Y might be only working half-days). Very much "work smart not hard", which is where a lot of grind-y productivity stuff lands.
I agree. The idea should be "perfectly competitive" -- which could be very regulated.

They most certainly are monopolies and we can see it in their behavior.

What America is figuring out that, if the US Markets are going to remain uncompetitive, than Chinese companies that don't play by the same rules are going to outcompete these lethargic companies that don't want to get better but instead vacuum up all their competitors. This hurts American's technology advantage and competitiveness in the global marketplace.

>Again, according to the complaint, Facebook chose to buy an emerging threat rather than compete, and announced an agreement in February 2014 to acquire WhatsApp for $19 billion.

>The complaint also alleges that Facebook, over many years, has imposed anticompetitive conditions on third-party software developers’ access to valuable interconnections to its platform, such as the application programming interfaces (“APIs”) that allow the developers’ apps to interface with Facebook. In particular, Facebook allegedly has made key APIs available to third-party applications only on the condition that they refrain from developing competing functionalities, and from connecting with or promoting other social networking services.

I am currently a software engineer at Amazon. I obviously can't speak to other people's experiences at Amazon.
And having never worked at any other big tech company, I'm not in a place to compare to them. But my own experiences at Amazon have been pretty good. I've been quite happy with my compensation and work life balance, which all have improved since my previous roles mostly at start-ups. There have been some stressful crunch times (Q4 tends to be stressful, between Thanksgiving-Christmas peak on the Retail side and Re:invent on the AWS side), but not more stressful from other big milestones at previous companies.

I have been lucky, in that I had worked with my first team's director at a previous company and so I knew he was a good boss, and I had known the manager for my second team prior to joining. It's important as part of the interview process (at Amazon, or anywhere else) to treat the interview as a two-way process, as you're vetting the company, the team, and your boss as much as they're vetting you, and if you don't get all your questions answered as part of the interview (interviewers are supposed to save time for you to ask questions!), feel free to relay them to your recruiter.

Linux is free and somehow that has gotten decades of support.

Most of the top contributors to Linux and other big FOSS projects do that work as a part of their salaried jobs at various corporations.

It's shocking that the myth of Linux being created and maintained by a bunch of dedicated outlaw nerds, typing away in their basements for free in their spare time (while presumably also working 50 hour weeks at their tech jobs, to pay the bills?) persists to any degree whatsoever in 2021.

Countless huge companies rely upon Linux in major ways, and therefore fund its development and maintenance.
