Whether it's legal or not greatly varies from one country to another. Some parts of their plan may be legal in isolation but huge corporations like Google are very much breaking tons of laws every single day (if only, privacy laws).

Also "tax evasion" means evading to pay taxes. It may have more specific legal meaning in some places, but the general understanding is if you're a company who does business somewhere yet doesn't pay taxes, you're doing tax evasion.
England for one has open source statistics, and most cases are breakthrough. Alex Berenson has some good analysis of these statistics on his Substack.
Comparing Twitter and S3 though? Twitter literally epitomized site unreliability with its fail whales for so many years before finally figuring out how to do the one single thing they do reliably, viz. shuffling around a bunch of text messages. As far as big tech goes Twitter looks like the least well managed or thought Out tech stack I can see.

To make sure it’s not interpreted that way, I’m not saying a single guy could create Twitter at its scale in a month, but they do basically one thing and have infinite resources. It’s not that hard.
I remember seeing those figures on some video from AMSL about EUV machine. They also mention about how many planes are needed to transport those machines. But I don't remember the values.

I have to say I thought the most ridiculous name I'd see in this space was coins named after people's dogs. This not-even-a-name might be even more ridiculous. It reminds me of those spam emails where they the writing forms an effective filter on the people who reply, the idea being that they are so ludicrous that only a sucker would reply (hence saving the time of the scammers on interacting with people who reply but won't fall for the scam). I have to say I'm super sick of all the bullshit happening in the crypto space at the moment because I think it really tarnishes the reputation of everything in the space including some decentralized apps and decentralized finance stuff that could actually be a massive net positive to everyone.
Thanks for making me overthink this..

Now I can't come up with a reasonable answer, I don't think the line is so clear.. I'm going to say "sometimes". I don't want to go all out (human focused) utilitarian, but not having free rats living with humans is probably a better thing than the alternative, and from a somewhat cynical view, you gave them the chance, and they missed it. We could probably breed relocatable rats in some generations if everyone moved them once and killed those that returned to the human world.
If they just showed you a chronological feed you'll be able to tell when you've reached the end of the new posts and stop there.

With an algorithmic feed there's essentially no end in sight, people will scroll way more in hopes of seeing new content, which gives them the opportunity to include more ads.
I'm not familiar with PowerBi but one place I was at leaned towards Tableau (vs Metabase) due to its "storytelling" features. That is -- you could create a document with an intro and embed graphs/analytics within the document. My cynical take on that is that this was a better way for the data team to justify its position/size compared to the value contributed. Not saying there's no value to providing a story, context and explanation around the data (on the contrary), this was just one experience but I'm sure this kind of politics was (and can be) the factor in the decision to pick Tableau over Metabase long term.

One can use a laser + charge to pre-boil the flight-path into a plasma channel. Sort of like cavitation, but with gasses.
Biscuit tins and aluminium foil have layers of insulation on them, the varnish of the tin and the Al2O3 oxide layer for the foil. It is true that the gap in each case is small, but when you look for 10 orders of magnitude in attenuation - a little leakage goes a long way. Silver has the unusual property in that both the metal and it's oxide are both conductors = true silver foil made of thin metallic silver will make a good wrap around Faraday bag. Even better would be true gold metal foil - note they often use gold plated shields in space uses, even though gold foil is like fly paper in space = contact welds readily, much more so than most other metals (many of which have also contact weld problems that have to be mitigated). Those Ramsey boxes are excellent, far better than many costlier, but crappier boxes, obviously made by someone who knows an ohm from a volt...
I really wish there was a statically typed alternative to nix. Nix docs are horrible and incomplete and the language is called the same as the rest of tye ecosystem so it's hard to google. I don't think there can be a good declarative functional language without static types because how the hell do you debug? I'ts been really hard whenever I have to do something in a bigger nix environment. I get the same feeling like when I jump into a bigger Python project which isn't documented and I have to read around to see what is what, only goto definition doesn't work, the language is weird and everything is some specific function which I don't know is built in or where it's from and googling gives no answers except maybe link to source code
Again that depends on how far back you are thinking to be backwards compatible.

Every year the number of users on older apis reduces, and these older users then either jump forward almost to the front (new phones, many low cost versions available today) or at least somewhat to the front (buy newer used or refurbished devices).

As Google has done quite a bit of work to try to solve some of the issues with core OS updates on third party decices (Project Treble for instance), over time the fracturing is getting better (for instance the latest API releases are bringing with them changes to how 3rd party OEMs can bundle their own Linux kernel modules so that the process is simpler and so could extend the possible software update cycles).

But there will always be some fracturing in some respects.

With that out of the way, I have not made apps with lower API requirements than 21 in the last 4 years and starting on one now I set the limit to 23.

This does not bring with it as many headaches as say when I was supporting API 15 onwards.

Google has put a lot of effort into creating tools that take care of much of the biggest headaches (for instance WorkerManager for background task execution and scheduling).

It also really depends on what parts of the platform you are going to use. If you do netwark calls, local data caching and display only then you wont have any problems that need handling.

There is sadly still this lingering sense in the dev community that Android developers need to deal with massive amounts of fragmentation. I would say it is no way as bad as it used to be, and only ever becomes apparent at the edges.

Just follow the guides that Google supplies. They are excellent and take care of explaining each possible pitfall and nuance you might need to take care of.
China will ignore it and start their own tennis authority, inviting all of the belt-and-road nations to partake. In a way we're seeing the birth of a new "Warsaw Pact vs NATO" kind of thing.
Note that this graph was created by the reporters and was not generated by the health department.

The labeling is weird. The reinstatement arrow should point SSW not NW. That says that during the surge, those counties* had a lower death rate.

Presumably the counties that ever had a mask mandate had higher compliance even during periods when the mandate was lifted, but the article doesn’t discuss any of that, and it’s only a presumption.

* I think the blue line should be labeled “death rate in the four counties”.

But Twitter, you haven't even fixed what's "Trending", specifically in the local context. For example, the word "Jane" is trending in your country, Jane is a well known politician who has probably said something interesting. You click the word to see whatsup...twitter returns some random posts that mention "Jane" probably basing on number of likes

This would be a nice ticket to fix...
Interesting results. The article states that Faraday cages are no directional. My physics 101 understanding of them was otherwise. You show they work by integrating over the surface of the cage and saying that's equal to the charge within the surface. But you don't say it's equal to the charge outside. Indeed it couldn't possible, since that charge could be light-years away and steady state would never be achieved. Now that was for electrostatic which isn't really what we care about, if I remember correctly.

Wikipedia also states they are more effective at blocking incoming than outgoing signals. Can anyone clarify the situation?

Who cares if she made it. The question is who gave it off. Let’s not get into discussions on who truly made their fortune vs. being in the right place time with the right idea and mindset.
I don't get it. How is it different from Zoom with a turned off camera?
There is a huge PR asymmetry.

There are actually parties involved with huge financial interest who want to sell masks, vaccines, PCR tests, etc.. If they are successful in convincing the people that their offered products are a solution for the pandemic, they can make a huge profit, so it pays for them to financially support their narrative. For the sceptics there is not much money to be made if they succeed.

So for masks, vaccines, tests, etc you have the opinion of people who sincerely think this is the right solution PLUS the marketing budget of companies with financial interest. On the opposite side you only have the opinion of people who are sincerely sceptical.

In Germany we had some politicians suddenly became very active in the mask business. In Bavaria there was even an FFP2 mandate (which didn't achieve shit) to support their mask industry.

100% this. So much "promoted" content (aka ads), or "suggested for you" viral content, or people I know promoting their businesses / blogs etc.

Barely anything real posted anymore by real people.
Yeah probably the sad truth. I want kubernetes without kubernetes :P
An anecdote in the other direction: I know people that were working in the hospital, treating COVID-19 infected people, before vaccines. Protection was a N95 mask (well-fitted and tight), a gown and gloves. They worked for months without an outbreak, until a bunch of them got infected. The source of that infection was probably in a meeting with a patient (for things unrelated to COVID) in a closed room when they were wearing non-N95 masks. None of them had strong symptoms other than a few days feeling awful.

> Maybe Pfizer should go back to the drawing board.

Maybe we should look at the data and see that the vaccines are still pretty effective. Think about the difference in restrictions and people behavior between now and before the vaccines: they have pretty much enabled normal life again and made COVID a much less worrying disease, even with high case numbers again.
Really no need when people actively research the field and we can see on aggregate what's really happening. Full transaction logs are useful for like that. And surprise, surprise:

You are completely out of your depth, you have no idea what you're talking about, and it is not worth any effort to explain to you how a currency increasing in value by 10,000% in 5 years would cripple the economy.

Understanding why that would be disastrous to the point of irrevocably destroying a nation and leaving millions in abject poverty should be table stakes when you have the bravado to shrug off the fear mongering economists who study this stuff for a living.
Why would I need a webcam?

I used Drovio and it was fine.
Except there's still so much content you don't find on commercial platforms, and even when you find it it may disappear from one day to the next due to evolving contracts between shareholders and the platform.

Also, streaming from a big multinational corporation works fine in well-connected areas but is a terrible experience on the country side and in the Global South. Where your connection to AWS/Google/Netlify is measured in Kb/s, torrents are a blessing because it spreads the load across several routes (including more local ones, because cloud providers are really slow from eg. Africa) and you can leave the downloads running all night.

Torrents and other content-addressed systems are by far technically superior to centralized location-addressed systems like HTTP.
> You were incorrect about the thing which was the thesis of your comment!

Then you misunderstood the thesis of my comment. Who provided the transport was the least part of it.

The main idea is that the picture is pretty damn f'd up when teenage civillians are going armed to protect private property at/from a protest.

That his mother didn't drive him makes it slightly less messed up, but the overall picture of US society it paints is pretty much the same giant WTF as it was before.
I think we'll have to agree to disagree. It's illustrative that a seemingly simple C program can't be easily ported to Rust. If it could be, someone would have already done it -- it's been a few hours.

It's also illustrative to examine exactly what the hangups are. You might even get more Rust converts if you acknowledge that there are serious engineering burdens to overcome when deciding to use Rust.
Indeed. Today for most systems memcpy is in fact a compiler intrinsic. C's standard library offers a memcpy but the reality is that your C standard library was likely supplied by your C compiler vendor, and when you ask for memcmp() in C you get their preferred intrinsic inlined into your program unless you've been very firm in declining that optimisation.

In Rust this memcpy intrinsic is required (for the core language, not just the standard library) because Rust clearly has arbitrarily large data structures you can literally copy, so, somebody has to take responsibility for doing that work, Rust says it's the compiler back-end's job. On a toy CPU the memcpy might really just be a trivial read->register->write loop because that's adequate.
All valid points but isn’t this the fundamental perennial fight with freedom of speech? Of course this is a private forum but from what I can see it’s at least trying to be open. The benefits of letting people make unsubstantiated claims (as long as they are not inciting) seems fair to me is all.
Not yet. But I have no doubt in my mind that a once we have smarter then human AI there will be compilers that absolutely can turn bubblesort into quicksort.
The assembly is ridiculous. Random section:

// The bytecode generation loop is unrolled to depth 30, allowing the
// units digits to be hardcoded. The tens digit is stored in %al, and
// incremented every ten lines of output. The parity of the hundreds
// digit is stored in %ymm2: one half predicts the hundreds digit to
// be even, the other to be odd, and the halves are swapped every time
// the tens digit carries (ensuring the predictions are correct).
Unfortunately, "China" holds grudges (in quotes, because I suspect it might not even be the government, but different officials wanting to appear as good citizens to the government, and definitely not Chinese people), so it won't be that easy: Simon will likely need to step down (though he's kinda being diplomatic in only "wanting answers", not putting particular blame on anyone, but he's still pretty adamant).

Witness NBA-Houston Rockets case which caused Houston Rockets games to be blacked out for 15 months even though Morey moved on from Houston late in 2020 after tweeting in support of Hong Kong protests early in the year.

What did CCTV do? Ban 76ers NBA games who are the current employer for Morey.
Apple stopped selling "Apple Computers" decades ago. They sell Macs. If someone is talking about Beats and Apple, it doesn't get confused with the computer. Apple is the parent company and Beats sells audio hardware. In 2007, they changed their name from "Apple Computer" to "Apple Inc." The same year AppleTV and the iPhone were announced.

That said, Apple has some terrible branding in some areas. Is AppleTV the hardware, the subscription service, or Apple's TV app?
I'm trying hard to see the value in this, but I'm not seeing any.

At the moment we could get 80 % there by just having an all-day Zoom call for everyone to join on their schedule, but almost no one is doing this.
It's less driven by the marketing and more driven by the lawyers. It is confusing, it is stupid from the perspective of investors, customers, and users, but it is a defensive maneuver against both the government and potential civil plaintiffs complaining about mismanagement.

The government could also at any time revert to the much more stringent antitrust regime that was in place before the 1970s/80s, vestiges of which still impact other older industries, which sharply limit how many lines of business or modes of communication/transportation can be used, much less dominated, by a single firm. There are also of course movements towards more internet-specific regulation, although not much has been actually happening.

Car emissions inherently occur near where people are breathing.

Even if you continued producing the electricity to charge EVs with fossil fuels, you'd be improving the human habitats by moving the emissions further away from the people while simultaneously using larger-scale optimized generators without vehicular constraints like compactness, weight, and wildly varying speeds/loads getting in the way of keeping the emissions clean.
All social media-ish platforms are increasingly awful. FB, Twitter, Reddit, IG - all aggressively trying to make you create account and log in, hiding/clobbering content if you're not. Less and less content from people I explicitly followed, and more from "we think you'll like this tweet from someone that is followed by Bob" (not even liked or retweeted by people I know!).
By the time you're publicly traded you're not looking to raise money via equity as you have excellent access to loans by that point. You're not talking about a startup that can't get a loan.
I have to admit I'm not that into ebikes but these were the price I casually saw in bike shops. But maybe they were just showing off the best models.

I truly don’t think so. The vast majority of people I know in Europe and Asia use Facebook, not Twitter. Only my USA acquaintances use Twitter all the time.

Actually no evidence she has been silenced.

You I'm sure do not want to 'stick it' to China, but you are perhaps unwittingly playing your little part in that process.

Ironic also how the comment yours above has been censored for not towing the Western line.
You're being way too charitable here. It's a quick and dirty website built with a CMS[1] and no designer involved. There's tons of obvious design mistakes. Don't get me wrong, I'm a terrible designer myself but after spending a lot of time with great ones, I can tell the difference between an ugly website made by a designer with an aesthetic intent and one built by a front-end web developer without supervision, and using 5 different fonts on a single page is definitely a clue.

Somewhere, probably in the essay referred to, Knox acknowledges Christie's bending of the rules. But it has been an awfully long time since I read the essay.
I think the stimulus feedback loop you mention is exactly the situation that could provoke strong inflation. Were the markets free of this intervention/interference I'd be strongly in the deflationary camp because fundamentals worldwide are not good at all. But that's the bothersome thing, since the repo crisis of 2019 I've not been bullish on fundamentals but yet asset prices just keep inflating regardless. The pullback in 2020 being the shortest bear market I've ever seen followed by all time highs is what changed my mind on the potential of inflation, before that point I just didn't see it as possible at all given the weak global fundamentals. But yet there we say a situation where fundamentals were terrible but the market rebounded so fast. The upside-down stimulus driven market where bad news implies more stimulus implies higher asset prices could turn what would traditionally have been a strongly a deflationary situation into one where inflation occurs via rampant monetization and fiscal/monetary interventions. The question I keep asking is if the interventions can outpace the deflationary fundamentals? The introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies would be a major change if for no other reason than they allow more monetary interventions to be done faster and more directly than before.
Producing this solution requires not merely a clever compiler but an extraordinary amount of creative intelligence.
i been messing with Laravel lately, and it's ass. and/or the entire modern stack is ass. i actually had this app built for me, and i asked the dev to try to strip out as much shit as possible, including, obviously, tailwind. dev did a good job, but it's still a disaster.

flask looks like a dream comparatively.

but. is there a middle ground?

i was a product manager-type on a (python) pylons pyramid project -- https://trypyramid.com/ -- "the start small, finish big, stay finished framework" -- the message sounds good.

seemed fine, but i wasn't a dev on it, and we still had plenty of moving parts for what was a relatively simple e-commerce cms (that, admittedly, had a lot of functionality).

what i really want is a straightjacket -- some framework that says, 'oh, you want to plug in a different templating engine? how about fuck you? will fuck you work for you?'

but i guess that doesn't earn many github stars.

if i had to pick one or recommend one with no other qualifiers, i'd pick sinatra. that way i could do it my way.
