Yeah it should probably be setting “self._quick_recv = None” and “self._write = None” when it shuts down the transport. This probably would have fixed the leak too.

I wasn’t seeing any leaky behavior after the fix though, so I think calling “socket.close()” allows GC to still clean up those other references.

I have had to make these choice(s) before. Here are some of my thoughts:

Do what make you happy. A caustic workplace is not worth it. The levels at work to me are meaningless. Don't worry what other people think.

Your health (physical and mental) & happiness is priority 1. You can always save money and work with it intelligently - if you need help -- get an investment advisor.

Stress and being sedentary are two different things. Getting out of being sedentary does reduce the stress. Walking is a great way to start and it is often underrated. Have the implicit belief that it does.

Stress and anxiety is complicated. Different people (genetics etc.) react to stress and pressure in different ways. I would seek out a therapist who can help you on this.

In interviewed at a local startup [1] and had a nice chat with one of the founders. We talked about 1h. It was pleasant and I got a code review assignment, timeboxed to 1h. Not sure if I managed to do something useful, but I handed back my solution in time and never heard from them again. I pinged them once more, but no response. I have not been able to figure out what that was about... maybe they were trying to get external people to review their code? Like, 1h of their time for 2h of mine? Or were they just not very well organized?

It used to be quite common; at various times in its history you can make the argument Ford sold cars at a loss to help Ford Credit sell profitable car loans. Even today, Ford Credit (loans/leases etc) is responsible for about 50% of Ford's annual profits:

> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Motor_Credit_Company

There have been quite a few years Ford made more profit as a "bank" than they did from making and selling the cars. If you get a new Ford from a dealer and request finance/lease options, its pretty typical for Ford Credit to provide the backing.

2 - The dot essentially forces a bar. It's not an overlay on the application's graphics. This is what is shown in the images. So there is something to crop off.

Not to mention, if it is known, it can be planned around. This is exactly what television has been doing for years. There are scan lines that don't get shown on screens despite being broadcast.

3 - This is almost as disingenuous as the article. The dot is there to inform the user of the device/screen that they could be recorded. The audience during a performance would qualify as a user in this case. It's basically an indicator saying, "if you can see this, it's possible the device showing this is recording your audio". That is completely relevant for an audience. If you think it's not, then why is it relevant for anyone else. There are thousands of excuses one can use to justify hiding this information from anybody. Once you are potentially violating my privacy, it is relevant to me.

There are other ways, like

1) considering that retailers aren't actually behind the moral panic, but rather politicians who run on law-and-order platforms and the funders that back them. Funders who couldn't care less about retail theft but have a vested interest in those politicians.

2) A gang of unarmed teens robbing a store at once is good footage for the news, and now that everyone has a cellphone it'll get filmed, and since the kids aren't armed, filmed with impunity.
To play devils advocate - is that really all that different from much other online communication? A significant chunk of the web runs on advertisements; and those are in essence tons of little influence games, often with little regard for the truth or honesty: the aim is to manipulate by whatever means you can get away with.

A lot of forums have issues with spam and sock puppets, and not all of that is obvious nor all of it honest.

Even many large, curated news sites have now succumbed to the benefits of deceiving their audience; whether through outright misrepresentation, or merely selective ommission, or merely editorial emphasis that prioritizes their agenda over their readers' understanding of the material.

Attempts to course correct here run into vast vested interests (when it comes to e.g. advertising or biases media), and also against the implementation of free speech protections in the US (and many other places), and more subtly, against public opinion on free speech, which refuses to countenance any attempts at reform.

In essence, we prioritize the right to deceive over the right not to be deceived - in all but the most extreme of circumstances.

Chalk one up for team deception - while this surely isn't a good trend, I can't see how this research is even close to some of the more problematic stuff floating around.

FYI "EEUU" only makes sense in Spanish-speaking countries (AFAIK). When writing in English, for English-speaking audiences, use "the US". Otherwise everyone will be very confused, especially in the context of an article about the EU.
Switzerland, as others have already mentioned, is not a state of the EU, which means that GDPR rules for third party countries apply to them.
They don’t have a 60 vote majority in the Senate, and legalizing abortion isn’t likely something they can pass through reconciliation.

They also can’t end the filibuster without Joe Manchin.

The Senate is split 50/50 so the have the slimmest possible majority, and abortion is a hill nearly all Republicans are willing to die on.

I’m not sure this has anything to do with the current distinction unless by the current distinction you mean the nearly equal split.
“Rather than taking a photograph, satellite sensors record electromagnetic radiation in the red, blue, green, and high-resolution panchromatic (black-and-white) bands (as well as several not visible to the human eye, as this Mapbox[2] post helpfully explains).

It's interesting that not typical western country is the first one reducing typical 40h workweek but UAE [1]

If we would really want to, we could move to 32h workweek long time ago as long as companies are not obsessed to make each quarter the biggest revenue by all means. Reducing 5 day workweek to 4 day workweek would reduce production of good no more than 20% (in practice probably much less since lots of production is automated). If each GDP is increase lets say 2% that's just equals sacrificing 10 years of those 2% increases.

In practice I don't seem it coming globally since companies compete with companies globally as well, e.g. in China many people work 996 (12h, 6days) so it's sort of unfair advantage. I think the only reason we have 40h work week in western world is because at the time when Ford popularized it USA was already a big economy without much competition in other countries (Europe just healing from WWI)

There are organized groups recruiting significant numbers of people to do retail theft, bike theft, and car break-ins. The police and legal system haven't been very effective at combating this, so over the past few years the theft has become very public and visible.

There actually is a reason: a huge, bloated, parasitic administration, plus other expenses that are far from necessary (e.g. top class sport facilities; nice to have, but quite a luxury for people who just entered adulthood and need to manage their money carefully).

A lot would change if a federal law required universities that take federal money to push their administrative spending under 15 per cent of their total budgets or so.

> This wouldn't be a "hedge against automation", it would be a catalyst for further automation. You'll reach the point where the only sensible thing for a company to do is to automate.

If it's inevitable that x% of jobs are going to be automated in the next decade, reducing the supply of labor by x% is a reasonable hedge. Yes, it may mean that x+y% (where y is something significantly less than x) are actually automated, but IMO we are still better off.

The thing is, there's some jobs that are very resistant to automation, and this will tend to spread them over more people and push their wages up by reducing supply.

> But in the short run intentionally making people harder to employ doesn't make any sense to me.

Right now there's a lot of talk about increasing minimum wage. I think shortening the work week is better, because it spreads the higher skilled jobs around more people and doesn't exclude people whose current labor value is less than a higher minimum wage from the work force.

The 40 hour work week has been good for everyone. Do you believe 40 is the ideal number, and can't be improved upon by moving it in either way? I think that:

- looming issues that may reduce demand for labor

- increased productivity that the benefits of have almost all accrued to capital instead of to labor

- other developed countries doing OK at 36

all argue that 40 hours may have been ideal for 1940 and something more like 36 hours is ideal for now.
Yeah if people really want road trips to be over quickly they should just drive below ticketable speed and keep moving. Going 10% faster on the highway for an hour is easily canceled out by a single stop.

Within cities, driving even 20% faster routinely results in literally no improvement in transit time because you still catch the same red lights at the same times, but burn more fuel between them.
fuck take home work.

I am not going to spend three hours of work, when I'd rather be doing something else, only to be fucking ghosted. (times by godknows how many companies.)

> the only thing that's missing is website software that also works like an RSS reader. In the most basic sense you only have to read XML with your program

This is a fascinating idea. I often think that Twitter's success, unlike Facebook's or Google's, is fundamentally as a protocol - and one which shouldn't have been centralised under the control of one company. And incidentally it seems Jack Dorsey thinks the same way, since he's suggested the possibility of having one core protocol for tweets, on top of which people could build their own frontends, and users could choose from a marketplace of both (a) frontends and (b) algorithms for filtering and ordering what they see.

I do agree with you: what's missing from RSS is not the existence of the protocol, nor even necessarily the 'supply side' of websites providing it (like you say, largely courtesy of Wordpress), but the 'demand side' which really needs a well-designed interface to consume that kind of content. I absolutely agree with you that this feels like a huge area of potential.

And thinking on a more second-order level: I wonder if one thing that's preventing these innovations is a suitable, easy 'base' for people to build this software on. For example, take `create-react-app` for the web. Countless things have been made because people know that they have that simple base to start with. For building a web browser alternative, there's no equivalent for most people: they don't know where to start. If we had a simply bundled toolkit such that people only had to write some business logic, I wonder how much more would be done.

> P.S. Sorry for ranting about the weapons metaphor. I triggered on it and felt the need to tell what I think about language.

No prob at all! Susan Sontag wrote a really interesting essay 'AIDS And Its Metaphors' in the same vein, specifically about the use of war metaphors about AIDS and cancer: "fighting", "losing the battle", &c. (It's the culmination of a series of essays on the same topic, but this is the most thought-provoking of them, IMO.) You might enjoy it. I particularly liked:

> The metaphor implements the way particularly dreaded diseases are envisaged as an alien 'other', as enemies are in modern war; and the move from the demonisation of the illness to the attribution of fault to the patient is an inevitable one, no matter if patients are thought of as victims. Victims suggest innocence. And innocence, by the inexorable logic that governs all relational terms, suggests guilt.

Switzerland is in some EU institutions like Schengen.

OK, I don't want a private company to be able to have any control over the starting over my car either. I didn't say we should ban these cars, I originally said that I don't think people realize how much freedom and privacy they are giving up by owning them

>What you're implying here is that city dwellers are government-dependent babies, which is very condescending to them. Choosing to drive your car on the public roads of your suburb or rural town doesn't make you any less dependent on society or the government.

I am not implying anything, I am stating my opinion that the people that choose to live in those cities have decided to trade personal freedom and privacy for the luxuries that come from living in those cities. These are tradeoffs, I chose to build a home in rural America with the goal of trading luxuries for personal freedom and privacy, as well as a reduction in crime.

And I realize why the transit systems had cuts and why they shut down due to unrest, but that is some of the freedom those who live in major cities give up. I am not far from the Twin cities metro and I was able to get in my car and drive to Minneapolis the morning after the riots started to personally look at the damage.

I do have a well and septic system, every few years it has to be pumped, you are right about that. I never said I was not part of society, nor did I say that my lifestyle is not dependent on society's infrastructure. I choose to live on the end of the spectrum to reduce my reliance on others as much as possible because I have personally seen and learned first hand what government oppression and social unrest can do to dense communities.

AFAIK under US law Tesla is well within their rights to use their technology to repossess their cars if they want to, or enforce whatever restrictions they want on the use of their vehicles, but it won't be from me. I am not advocating for tesla to be stopped by the government, I am simply asking for people to think through the consequences of their purchases. I completely agree that tesla is free to do what they want as a corporation(within the current laws), and I am free to not buy their vehicles as a citizen, you are correct about that.

You can feel free to give up your freedoms in the name of public safety, and eventually I will be forced to as well, but I will continue to resist as long as possible. I very much enjoy the act of driving to the point of it being one of my hobbies, I am in no rush for the impending future of driving being a luxury for the rich. I distinctly remember the feeling of freedom I got when I got my driver's license at 16 and bought my first car, it was actually a pretty critical point in my life and allowed me much more autonomy, freedom, and responsibility than I had ever had before.

I just really think that your desire for federal laws for privacy protection are wishful thinking and quite unlikely to happen, hell our current president has actively tried to ban encryption without backdoors on a few occasions(actually indirectly causing pgp to be developed https://www.wired.com/2012/12/joe-biden-private-email/), this seems actively antiprivacy to me.

It'd be interesting, from a neutral-ish, academic, historic, curiosity perspective, to see a civil war / revolution in a developed country with a modern industrialised military. The resultant mess can get extremely deadly and hard, if not impossible, to resolve.

That being said, i do personally think a revolution in the US has been coming for quite some and is needed to fix the broken political system ( two party model, winner take all, gerrymandering, electoral college, appointed judges, mind boggling fetishisation of an obsolete document, remnants of slavery, to name just a few). I do sincerely hope it happens as bloodlessly as possible.

(I'm currently listening to the Revolutions podcast, specifically about the Russian Revolution and resultant civil war, and i find it fascinating. Living in such historic moments ( like a pandemic) feels weird. You're there while history is being written, and heck, you might be an active participant! A blessing and a curse).

It's a real domain with functioning... whatever I need to test. Email, DNS, Identity servers, etc.
> We weren't sure if that counts as owned by a third party

IANAL, but if the people/company running it is the same entity I think you should be fine. Browers on the other hand will only look at the domains and think it's somebody else... So... Yes, better safe than sorry.
