> companies compete to make their customers the smartest with their products.

You just 100% lost me. Our educational system needs to educate all, and let them succeed to the best of their abilities, where everyone has a chance at their best potential. The last thing we need is a new system with built-in inequality, where the some folks get the best curriculum and some do not.

I agree that education needs innovation, but I do not want anything to do with it being based on a foundation of competition.
> You're going a little off the rails

You're not wrong, thanks for chill response.
Social media can and does have both.

The whole point of Section 230 immunity is to basically neutralize the platform's responsibility so in that case they shouldn't care who says what and let the opposing sides battle each other on the merits of what's being said.

So why do they maintain huge and cumbersome speech codes and rules of what can be said on their platforms?

It's simple. Threat of regulation. The tech monopolists are like the old time robber barons of the early 20th century with their mega corps (railroads, oil, tobacco, etc). They are trying to hang on to their behemoths' power and appease political forces at the same time.
You need a massive amount of bandwidth and a few redundant servers. There are counties with less bandwidth than you need to handle. It isn't impossible, but cloudflare isn't evil (that I know of?) and so it is best to support them as your backup
Some people care more about other things when choosing a vehicle. I suspect motorcyclists are far less worried about safety, for example. Performance enthusiasts too, although not to the same extent; and some just want a comfortable roomy ride with plenty of power as well as ease of repair and parts availability.

As the saying goes: "It's not about the miles per gallon, it's about the smiles per gallon."
I suspect you're onto something here and that if a company did a good job of obfuscating their use of an AGPL backend, they could protect themselves from discovery. Without existing evidence, it seems unlikely to me that a judge wouldnt agree to throwing out the case before discovery with a motion to dismiss. I'd love if a good lawyer could weigh in.
You’re free to listen to whatever you want. YouTube is free to decide not to host whatever content they want. You are free to buy a record and listen to it or whatever.
I'm sure it wasn't found in a darknet leak of NSA utilities or anything like that.
I really struggle to think of any company for which it is important that their customers are not sceptical of vaccinations?

So you've never heard of the entire healthcare industry?

Aside from healthcare, every company of a reasonable size wants people to get vaccinated so that the supply chain can be repaired and they can go back to selling things the way they used to.
> The .NET community is at a boiling point and they should really avoid a community which takes dev productivity in their own hands. Because that is the garantueed end of visual studio.

sounds like .NET is almost the kind of thing I'd use then, because in a world without Visual Studio, I might not be punished for choosing to use .NET but not VS
If people can make small changes independently to get to a better state, what accounts for them not doing so?

I can't believe it if I can't imagine it, and if you think it's possible, you should share how.

I think this is a dispute over semantics. It's not very productive to argue whether something is true or false when people define terms differently. Better to explain how you define them.
This is definitely what I would call a "wrong Why"
The sense I get is that the original React model has some pretty significant complexities, especially around shouldRender and prop / state analysis, and hooks present a big improvement on that.

I don’t think that the class-vs-function divide is the fundamental reason for the problems with the old model or the improvements with the new model. Rather, I think the learnings from the original approach informed the system and resulted in a step forward.

I find that once I need to manage a nontrivial amount of state, the functional model really feels wrong — useContext, I’m looking at you! And I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up with another turn of the crank that introduces a class-based (or prototype-based) approach with a better set of abstractions at some point down the line.
> Moreover, the average person has a lot of driving they have to do

Bullshit. Consider that the average person doesn’t own a car.

Even in developed countries people drive more than they have to.
Build stuff here! I can’t imagine how much fossil fuel is being wasted in this process.
This is the kind of boneheaded, "my division above all" move that should see someone removed off any product decisions whatsoever.

Reminds me of the people at Android that keep pushing big carrier SMS group chat protocols, where everyone can tell from miles afar they are just a blind caterpillar sensing their way along some local optimum gradient descent in whatever mismatched incentive hell their big corp job has landed them.
That’s precisely the point. When the cost of pollution is reflected in the price you and I pay, then cleaner options become economically viable and we the consumers pick them. Over time the market does it’s thing and optimizes for cost (becomes more efficient) and cleaner options become cheaper i.e., the carbon tax you and I pay is significantly diminished. Moreover, we can distribute the carbon tax revenue to the lower and middle class folks.
I don't mean to unnecessarily defend Microsoft (they're a billion-dollar multinational organization and don't need my help).

It's just that if we want to say they're 'evil', I think they are so in different ways from FAANG. Could they do what Apple or Facebook do? Sure. But doing so would mean giving up their idnetity and becoming a pale version of their competitors.
This is the exact attitude I’m talking about. It happened with AB 5. Money is just used as an excuse for when voting doesn’t go the way someone expected or wanted.
You never really state why network engineers should not be required to write code, and imply an arbitrary limit of "domain-specific GUI" and YAML/golang.

What's the difference between writing if/else/commit() in golang, vs. writing the commands in a proprietary command language, writing the inputs in Excel, and then pasting the combination into a terminal?

Coding/APIs/etc. should be a required course for any dev/sec/ops person. APIs and glue code are the future.
I am a member of ILWU 13. A couple thoughts after reading the comments:

The zoning change is for TEU storage outside the port. The port itself was not subject to that rule.

The Port of Los Angeles is a landlord and is not directly involved in operations.

Private companies, such as APM, EverPort, and others, rent piers/berths and are responsible for the actual operations and logistics.

Some speculation: recently I’ve heard of some ships not even waiting to load empty TEU’s as they normally would and instead they are immediately leaving for China, literally empty. I suspect this behavior is what turned the congestion we had before into the quasi deadlock we have now.
It must be funny, because many people find it to be funny.

Ours not to reason why.
I'm actually a regular listener of Bryson Gray on Spotify and heard this release yesterday. I'm glad Fox is giving him the spotlight. I would argue that by YouTube taking down his video they gave him a lot more publicity than he otherwise gets... good for him!
so you're saying it will incentivize better choices like not choosing a pickup as a daily driver
Top chess players rarely have coaches, they have seconds/assistants.
What is the benefit of a permissioned ledger then over a conventional database?
That resignation wasn’t about hot reload - it was about merging a PR over objections by maintainers.
Being liable for any mistake an autonomous vehicle makes would likely be infeasible even if the vehicle is many times safer than the average human driver.
Njalla, a privacy aware domain registrar
I created a script to search for 3 letter domains in 2010, and got one available that sounds nice, so I built my business around that name. Nowadays I do domain/app search before naming projects that I intend to publish.
I feel like I hear more and more of these horror stories. I’ve been looking to migrate my custom domain away from Google for a while and was also looking at Fastmail. I use an @gmail.com for everyday things because it’s widely recognised and easy to communicate to people over the phone or even face to face in a shop for a digital receipt.
As always, RSS has no future because it has no business model. Websites and services use it while ramping up, then have zero incentive to maintain it after they've become popular. Client apps add support, then realize what a pain in the ass it is to get working correctly, because it has massive technical problems which I've enumerated before*, and then abandon the feature because it just costs too much. The core issue is money.

RSS is the best!

One thing I'd say to content creators, is it is so simple to implement and only takes one click to find and keep a consumer of that content for life. Without it, someone has to bookmark you, remember you, etc.

Kudos to Wordpress for keeping the dream alive.
I feel The Framework team is learning the "electronics manufacturing 101" the hard way.

Having shipped at least 20 devices in my life now, I can say most of the time you manufacture what you can, and not what you want.

For me most projects start not as a piece of a napkin genius startup idea, but a walk around electronics markets, distributors, thinking what is a good deal now, and if getting all parts together in given time is real, and feasible for one project, or another.
You concluded that a SONG wasn't good by READING the lyrics?
Most of them are usually the top comment on a thread like this, too, because there are a large number of people who consider them authoritative (or like what they say, or dogpile, or who knows). When it’s my industry being discussed here, I can usually predict who will be in the top spot (it’s only a few), and how wrong they’ll be. It’s a real problem but it’s also the immediate amnesia thing whoever-that-was talked about.

For the record that is one common prediction up there, in my experience, but I’m trying not to make it personal. There is very often a sense of reciting recent research into whatever the hot topic is, and little depth or mastery of any of those topics. But they score well, so here we are debating what is said instead of what is substantive.
They almost certainly aren’t listening to you https://mobile.twitter.com/RobertGReeve/status/1397032784703.... But the likely explanation isn’t any better imo.
I wonder if that's a regional problem. Here (Michigan), TJ's employees seem happy, and appear to be very well treated.

As opposed to employees at Kroger - which is unionized (UCFW). But workers there appear darn scarce, often unhappy, and sometimes volunteer tidbits on just how horrible management is. And it felt weird just how much "help wanted" signage Kroger had, even pre-pandemic.
A war over Taiwan would have global economic consequences that made whatever AMD's stock price did the most minor of footnotes. The amount of trade that goes through that area of the Pacific is staggering.
You need to switch the drivers from WDM to ASIO. Most DAWs have this as an explicit choice with WDM as the default.
Political entanglements aren't the half of it. Facebook and Google (Alphabet) make up about 6% of the S&P500 by market cap, and that's just the tip of the iceberg in terms of how much of the global economy depends on the online advertising market. Nobody wants to risk popping that bubble.
This article addresses the how, but not the why. It's the unknown encryption key there to prevent the user from extracting TPM secrets? Or is this all just a slightly broken beta feature? Doesn't quemu already emulate software TPMs?
The study contradicts his assumptions so he is unable to take this new information and update preexisting beliefs. Or he didn't read the new study. A bunch of people are living in denial.
Hi Uberman. Actually, Linux is pretty well estabilished on the visual effects industry, and the software stack is ok. I'm looking for insights on how to make first time users more enjoyable.
Good luck if you are living in Hong Kong where TikTok was once operating there and now after 'recent events' you HAVE to use Douyin instead.

That is tough.
Shitposting is not exclusive to extremists, and definitely not exclusive to a certain group of extremists you may not like
The nice thing about oil is that it's very energy dense. We could store excess energy in the summer to be used in the winter. In contrast, batteries can maybe provide a few days of storage, but with synthetic oil, we could buffer for multiple months.
I think you'd find that Māori are doing OK. Better than Pacific Islanders.

But yes, there's hard-to-reach people in every ethnicity. What I've enjoyed is the orgs who are vaccinating Māori and Pacific Islanders - always tell the community to come along even if you don't fit in either ethnicity, you'll still get a jab. I just love that. It's the way it should be!

We're all people, let's look after each other.
Many consumers may see you advertising (providing monetary support to) conspiracy theorists, and boycott you for it.

Advertisers have to be concerned about being associated with "personae non gratae".
Really interesting article. Reminds me a lot of the book Adaptive Markets (Adaptive Markets: Financial Evolution at the Speed of Thought https://www.amazon.com/dp/0691191360/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_...)
An alternative view point is instead of forcing words into peoples mouths, we can just choose not to censor comedy, music, and the arts.

It wasn't a dangerous stance to take at one time - lets not censor people. Its music.
CDC Director: U.S. may change “fully vaccinated” definition as boosters roll out
My post was actually about defining a system of zoning and forcing localities (if they want to allow zoning for industry at all) to also allow high rise housing and commercial in the same area as well. And anywhere that's zoned commercial also has to automatically allow residential. Localities can still choose how they zone, but the state sets the types of zoning possible.
Please burn all the books already published with those keywords.

I'm surprised nobody has suggested "find a good supply of high-quality weed and start dealing on the side."
They learned that they had the heat up too high and the frog noticed the water bubbling. So they lowered the heat.

The people do not choose to have one option. The candidates decide to run or not!

Have you ever belonged to a club or nonprofit or something? Often they are begging people to run for office unopposed. If nobody wants to, you can't force them. People who do want to, eventually get tired or die and then it can be kind of a crisis to find a replacement.

It's similar in small local political races. If you don't vote every year, you might not have noticed?

Sometimes the incumbent goes unchallenged, and sometimes there is a challenger that is obviously not serious, but at the same time, the incumbent has a lot of murky dealings and connections that make it hard to have enthusiasm.

I only vote if there is a choice, but the "choice" is usually the incumbent in a de facto one-party government.
We do have coaches in business, we just call them mentors and advisors.

Where are you going to find a business coach that is a retired business leader whose credibility based on past success justifies your making material changes to your behavior based on their influence? Good luck!

There is an industry of "business coaches" but from I've seen, almost as a rule the coaches are not retired business leaders with undeniable accomplishments (because why would such people want to work for you?). It's a market for lemons (which the OP acknowledges as a "doesn't help" but they don't share how to navigate this issue. Fluff article from someone peddling self-help. Icky, and case in point! How many entrepreneurs is Seth coaching? Oh right, he sells a product, he's not coaching [visibly]...).

So, we get our coaching from mentors and advisors. We still get our coaching.
Doesnt matter.
They are heretics against a particular orthodoxy.
In a way we really havent changed much in a couple of hundred years.

was just going to say the same...

if i understand the situation correctly, it seems caused by "over optimization" of the whole chain, so when a surge in demand occurred a "pipeline bubble" resulted that started the whole pileup??

in my understanding, this is why he stressed that being too optimized and efficient (demming says something similar) is actually dangerous... right?
So much this.

It's always some mixture between amusing and depressing seeing software people try hardware.
They ran afoul of the 1980s censorship crackdown.

> YouTube doesn't have any tools to sift right from wrong that we don't already have, and their censors are probably only marginally more intelligent than average.

I thought Facebook & Google were outsourcing the censoring to low budget contracting firms in poorer states, so they could keep the spend at a minimum?
Because the wording of such restrictions are often just window-dressing on the true motive, which is racial segregation.

The first zoning law in the country was in Los Angeles in 1908. Part of the law was crafted to force certain businesses to relocate retroactively. It was crafted specifically to target the Chinese businesses, which were the laundromats. White people just did not want to live alongside Chinese people.

Redlining was a further practice of both bankers and zoning having restrictions which were explicitly racially motivated. Levittown, the first planned community in the United States, was very explicitly "not mixed" - it had racial covenants that restricted blacks or jews from moving in. The intent was to sell more homes, as they presumed white people would not want to live in "mixed" areas with neighbors of an undesireable race. That practice continued throughout planned communities and zoning laws all over the country. Many of those racial covenants are still in place today.

As an aside: you can let your children go outside in most cities. The moral panic over children getting kidnapped or abused if they step foot outside the house has been overblown for decades, and at this point is just a bizarre psychological trope of America.
YouTube unfortunately removed the ability to export subscriptions to OPML last year [1], probably as part of their migration to the Polymer user interface. It is still possible to individually subscribe to channel RSS feeds though [1].

This is reductive, but I am going to repeat the idea that you should not be trusting Microsoft in the first place.

Their GitHub acquisition, VSCode, and CodeSpaces are clearly a moat-building towards making GitHub yet another version of Office 365 where you have to pay $$$ for developer tools. GitHub's workflow already bears little resemblance to a "real" Git workflow, and in 7-10 more years I predict that they will try to marginalize it until you can't actually make commits if you're not using the web UI.

Everything Microsoft-related should be considered closed-source and avoided if you have interest in Open Source as more than just a license. The management at Microsoft has way too many non-technical people focused on "user engagement" and "mindshare" for them to think in terms of OSS principles. They are not evil – they just don't "get" it. So I would strongly suggest avoiding any developer-focused products from Microsoft for the next 10 years if cross-platform parity or Open Source are high on your list of values.

If not, that's fine too. I advise buying and using a Windows laptop for a first-class Microsoft Developer Experience.
It’s not the elderly with dementia that are out spreading COVID by refusing a vaccine, they’re the ones who are just dying within a few weeks. I’m sad for all the elderly especially those in communal living spaces who have limited mobility and control over their socialization, protective equipment, or schedule. Agree with your point, that their options seem to die sooner without the vaccine than with it. That’s a sad state.

As for the pregnancy idea, sure, in a perfect place with great social support, little stigmatizing of sex & adoption, and a legal system that can impose on the father (from flight or responsibility). I don’t see that anywhere, so how would we get there?
wouldn't it also increase tailings thus we would just change our pollution problem from co2 to toxic mining waste?
I mean aren't tailings from bauxite highly toxic?
This take isn’t uncommon but I think it’s far too simple. We do have members of Congress with CS degrees but they all have advisors and groups like the Congressional Research Service because nobody is an expert on everything. The problem isn’t lack of knowledge but the fact that this isn’t happening in a vacuum.

The lobbyists you mentioned, for example, aren’t like mosquitoes which just show up in DC — companies and industry groups hire them to make sure members of Congress hear their preferences. Some are hired by tech companies, others by their opponents or special interest groups. The tech companies have a ton of money and an enviable reputation as one of the best growth industries for the future so they’ve been very successful at preventing or defanging regulation. That doesn’t mean that people don’t know what’s going on – more commonly, they don’t think it’s a problem, know they don’t have the votes, or have other priorities.
These securities are marked to market, which means you can sell them for roughly that value over a reasonable amount of time. There's also 134B of non-current marketable securities based on the statements you cited, which brings the total to around $200B.

The equivalence standard you used is the accounting standard, which means you can get the exact amount in cash overnight if you so desire. It's too strict when considering what financial resources you have in making long term capital investments.
Is there any major religion which has an expressly stated purpose of increasing the “life satisfaction” of its adherents? I mean, hard to fault religion for failing to deliver something that it never really promised in the first place.
Thought so...
I guess this means you can’t export either.
