I think it's feasible to define "proof of waste" in a way that makes it possible to ban it, in the same way and the same rationale as you can't sell inefficient vehicle engines or lightbulbs.

Anonymous/pseudonymous money, unregulated securities, gambling, etc. are already on a collision course with regulators who are largely unable to keep up. On the other hand, I don't think the problem is big enough to trigger massive action yet, it would have to be on the scale of 1MDB.
And you know that encryption for messengers means E2E not server to client.
Privacy means even Telegram doesn't know what I wrote.
The Chinese medicine hippies are into is pretty much only the herbalist aspect of it, along with acupuncture. I know a lot of people involved in this and exactly zero of them agree with or do anything with animal products, especially anything rare or endangered.

Additionally, many of them embrace scientific knowledge and are very interested in why, and if, remedies work rather than treating them as magic and de facto superstitious rules.
Already discussed that point: those have been remastered for CD and thus sound different to the original recorded versions.

If you’re a purist like the GP then you wouldn’t listen to the CD versions. Of course, in practice most people are not that much of a purist. Which is why the whole meme of “as the artists intended” is largely hypocritical posturing.
Relationships are hard, they require constant effort. Beyond being an attractive human being (i.e. take care of yourself, physically and mentally), it's all about emotional intelligence and communication.

People losing all their money (in an entirely foreseeable way) is a tragedy. But it isn't new, that has been a show on repeat for millennia. This time, at least the losses will be in something new.

Much like how the first dot com bubble doesn't change the transformative nature of the internet, a massive crash in crypto isn't going to be the end of this story. We might outlive Bitcoin, but no-one alive today will outlive cryptocurrencies. The only real question is how much change they will cause.

Exactly. Recentralisation is under-appreciated by the decentralists; decentralisation is not a magic dust, and almost all decentralised services are made more convenient by intermediaries .. who will tend to consolidate. See e.g. OpenSea for NFTs.
There is a Telegram-FOSS fork with most Google services removed but the translation feature is not removed (yet?) in the code.
Speaking as a person with a PhD, I can say from personal experience that you don't need popular or far reaching conclusions to earn one. Most of the time the committee wants to see you've done the work and have, in some small way (sometimes surprisingly small) pushed the boundaries of knowledge out a bit.

The kind of Academic Inflation you're talking about is almost entirely the product of PIs who need to publish, publish, publish to get tenure and funding. The vast majority of people who are awarded PhDs understand they have almost no chance of even landing a tenure track position and consequently have little incentive to fluff up their work.
Then they made the commercial with the kid saying “What’s a computer?” in the backyard which still enrages everyone I know when it is mentioned.
Very easy answer: money. All the changes that seem hostile are in sole way supporting the bottom line in one way or another.

In the example of Blizzard, and WoW in particular, my (probably oversimplified and/or naive) guess is that there were two objectives that alienated existing userbase: simplifying the game to attract new (and younger) audience and to make it easier to sell in China.
It's great that file names in the user/kernel ABI are treated as unstructured NUL terminated byte streams so I can do what I want with my file names even if you don't like it. And you can do what you want with yours, including not creating ones you think are idiotic, or using filesystems with code or options that restrict what names can be used.
You don't just improvise with this stuff. There's a process and it's a mess and you follow it to the end with counsel that must be chosen with a lot of luck, but when it's over it's over and you can leave those nasty old taxes behind.

There's good reasons for it, the embassies actually deal in bomb threats and hostage situations and the like, and if it were that easy to drop your citizenship there would 100% be coercion to forfeit the protection of the Department of State. They might not always help you, but in principle they would, unless of course you're no longer an American. That's why you have to forfeit citizenship inside the embassy, where you can signal if you're being coerced. Same as getting a passport renewed, it's a process, it's made in USA and shipped to your embassy. If you don't pick it up within the time window, I forgot how many days, it is destroyed and you have to start the process over again.

Forgetting for a second the unique personal characteristics of America, the apple pie, the baseball, etc. In historical terms, you know how unique it is to be a citizen of the dominant state of the time, no matter which it is? Like being a Roman in Rome's heyday. The vast majority of people in history did not have that amount of freedom. Even today most don't.

And if you're an American overseas and can't deal with the times America isn't on a winning streak, or you feel the taxes are too great a burden for you, or you can't trade the stocks on your app, I wish you the best of luck getting rid of that passport. Good riddance.
I’ve had this before with webmin and virtualmin (I think), but they do a lot more and effectively take over your whole server, so I’m not sure if that’s what you are looking for.
Nah.. we need to use object graphs as streams instead of whitespace "(un)parsable" text. The output to the console (ui) or gui (ui) can be different, but the data should be structured
Is there any proof in this post that Telegram actually circumvent Google Translate API ? Because it is also possible that Google told Telegram to use the method explained in the article.
Yeah, I would agree. Keeping up with the times and the market is different to pivoting, as is diversifying and monetising. Did Disney "pivot" from hand-made animations to theme parks and digital streaming? More of an evolution, I think.
I was a late bloomer in the latter (like very late due to being overweight for most of my teens and early 20s) and I don't have any big wisdom to share except don't lowet your standards and let people treat you like crap just because you think you're getting on the train very late in the game.

What does falling off your credit mean? Do you no longer owe anything? Did you go through bankruptcy?
One thing that is important here is whether the counterfactual is the marginal employee, or nobody.

In the sports roster case, a soccer/baseball team would be in trouble if they lost one of their average-talent players if they didn't have anyone on the pitch but there might be a plentiful supply of low-cost players willing to work for a similar amount.

This means that the counterfactual of 'lose average player and replace with noone' suggests that the player has a very high counterfactual theory of value, but 'lose average player and replace with similar average player' suggests that the counterfactual value is not high.

There might be a star player such that they are not replacable by anyone, or by anyone also able to demand a high salary from an alternative team, and they would have a very high value according to both counterfactuals.

It seems to me that many sports teams operate with the 'similar average player' counterfactual.

I think you could draw analogies to businesses and employee pay.

TFA says that being prescribed ADHD meds as a child increases one's odds of experiencing ADHD in adulthood (compared to having ADHD as a child but refusing to take meds). Andrew Huberman of Huberman Lab[0] says that giving an ADHD child meds and therapy can allow them to influence their own development in such a way that lowers their odds of experiencing an ADHD in adulthood. I wonder which of these is correct.

I don’t understand the way this was implemented.

They are bound to get in trouble with Google for this, but they can’t easily pull the feature. They can’t just be like „oh you’ve had translate for two weeks now, but now we can’t pay for it, so it’s gone.“

What is the long term thinking behind this? Or is this just developers and management not communicating?

If you control the firmware already, you don't even need over-provisioning. You basically have a higher access-level. A disk is rarely 100% full so you could easily squeeze a few megabytes on a non-overprovisioned disk. Depending on how powerful the controller is, you can hide your malware inside it, you can compress some part of the disk to make space for yourself, ...

On a malicious firmware, you can make it so the host won't see the content unless it is queried "properly". Or the controller can return malicious content when queried.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to use two chained encryption methods? AES+whatever Telegram is using? This would be resistant against a AES backdoor and against bugs/backdoor in the Telegram encryption method. Similar to TrueCrypt where you can select AES+Serpent+Twofish to encrypt your files.
I would tend to disagree.
First, because not everyone is on AWS.
Second, because even for people on AWS, some of a company's infra isn't on AWS (e.g. gmail).
Third because not every infra setup work has an AWS tool.

To take a personal example, we use multiple infra providers.

Some of our infra is gmail (currently working on automating it with terraform).

Some of it is other infrastructure providers that aren't US-based.

Yes, you might want to believe that is the case but having worked at an insanely popular site that does advertisement I can tell you that you are tracked.

Then having worked in Fintech space I can tell you you're tracked even more than you could imagine.

Do you take public transit? Tracked. Does your car offer OnStar? Can be tracked.

Do you do zoom meetings? Compromised. But! You're going to tell me you only use the web version and you disable tons of things in some ultra secure browser. That is cute, what about your coworker who has some sketch software that captures audio and the screen?

There was a company indirectly worked with that looked to have access to millions of voice signatures to identities. Let's say you talked near any non-secure device and now it knew where you were based off the non-secure device location.

I think they meant consuming less means showing less appreciation, since by consuming you’re purchasing something somebody made which is a form of showing appreciation.
I think they will look for a legal solution. I doubt they will change the API; my guess it it exists to support some other services google sells -- and adding heuristics to detect freeloaders may impact legitimate customers. Nope, they will get a cease and desist letter, and if they happen to use any other GCP services, or rely on Google to do business, this will likely be pretty persuasive.
Don’t make New Years resolutions at all.

These resolutions are made out of a place of desperation, out of the fear of another year going by without making some kind of (often unrealistic) change.

Once the “new year season” is over, people forget all about them.

All the methods you use to establish good habits are very useful ones! In addition to those, I think someone wanting to make changes should read materials on the subject of how our minds make and break habits.

But I’d say we should detach that process from “New Years resolutions,” because those only really stick around until the next Hallmark Holiday rolls around.

The last thing I’ll say is that sometimes you don’t need to make a change. We should all find our own ways to be happy with just existing.
In fact if you use this API constantly, you are presented with a recaptcha.

No, crypto has not revolutionised payments.

Payments are still dominated by credit / debit cards. In some markets app based mobile payments are starting to take off, but it really doesn't look like BTC is gaining any market share.

Maybe I'm missing something, but as far as I can tell I can't buy a single thing that I would want to buy with BTC.

It's actually getting worse. Some years ago I bought something with BTC. Now fees are so high that it is practically impossible to buy stuff with BTC.

And even if you just use BTC for transferring money, you need 3rd parties to buy/sell bitcoins (and they will charge a fee). You can't keep your money in BTC, because as I stated above you can't buy anything with BTC.

> Linux is an absolute joke on the desktop

Linux Mint is seriously easy to set up with its driver manager. I don't see how any issues would arise and thus far I haven't had any issues with setting up any Linux distro except for arch's ethernet at one point. That's around 15 Linux distros which worked just fine
Ah, you're suggesting Google uses its position on the Play Store to fend of abusers of an unrelated service, that happens to be owned by Google as well? I don't think that will work in Google's favor when they try to defend any anti-trust cases slung their way, or being active right now.
Google has many other subtle ways that garner less attention to ward of any misuses. Subtly downrank in the search index, throttle any traffic heading their way, suggest other applications in the play store on top, accidentelly flag Telegram as a "risky" platform, etc.

Not commenting on TFA's content but... It's using:

text-align: justify;
hypens: auto;

That is, IMO, underrated. I'm reading this on a M1 MacBook Air: maybe at "retina" pixel density we can, at last, use text-align: justify and have pages looking (nearly) as nice as book pages.

I'm not going to force justification for people on small devices (it looks bad on these) but it sure is pleasant to me on a high-density, kinda large, screen.
Sure thing, find my email via my profile and I'll send you an invite.

> Perhaps companies and projects would not often use these directly because of the risks

If you provide a solution to someone’s problem, it will be used all over the place.

The biggest companies won’t use these things, but plenty of smaller companies and individual programmers without oversight would use them without a second thought, at least until they’re caught.

Telegram is a relatively large business and here they are abusing an API exactly like you suggest.
How weird - a few years ago I paid about 250 EUR in a dental clinic in Rotterdam to remove a single wisdom tooth. I did pay in cash (no health insurance coverage as I emigrated already).

My goal is building a SaaS to $500 MRR. I work in a non-tech field but have always enjoyed coding. This hasn’t led to a business because I have focused on features I thought would be useful and interesting but weren’t solving core customer problems.

Another example is Unsplash.

Unsplash was originally a marketing attempt by a company named Crew, a marketplace startup trying to connect businesses with freelance designers.

After Unsplash took off and the talent marketplace didn’t, the company became Unsplash.

In practical reality, the name of the file is the filesystem's business. It would be nice if it operated similar to cloud filesystems, where you could version based on GUID that is disconnected from the filename, but the practical reality is that users and developers have long accepted the local operational mode.
I would think an unexpected and sustained drop in NPS is something to investigate. A single daily measure wiggling low? Of course not.

”Socialized medicine is no more a partisan issue in most countries than a socialized fire department or sidewalks.”

That’s a disingenuous statement since most countries have a mix of public and private care and many folks rely on private insurance and private care. Canada is one where private care is almost non-existent, but the UK, Switzerland, Australia have a significant private segment.

What Medicare for All suggests (and a few Democrats have said it explicitly) is that private insurance would disappear.

So Socialized medicine isn’t a partisan issue in most countries, but neither is private medicine.
If I was the lawyer for the reporter I'd ask Tim Berners-Lee to testify. What a great testimony that would be.
Why would they concatenate the API url string then? The only reason I see is to avoid detection when their app is scanned when submitted to the PlayStore.
But it's obviously a lesser degree of pivot than a pivot that discards your current customer base. I also wouldn't be surprised if being a huge buyer of wholesale DVDs got them good contacts in the media/film industry.

Also, the transition from film to digital was more gradual than it appears, as many features now thought of as digital-only were actually available on late generation film cameras.
infinitesimally

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinitesimal

"In mathematics, an infinitesimal or infinitesimal number is a quantity that is closer to zero than any standard real number, but that is not zero."

I'll blame this one on auto-correct.
> On the other, google is serving broken frontends to their services and charge ridiculous prices on their API's.

How does that make this okay? Nobody is entitled to get a company’s services for free just because you think their price is too high or their front ends aren’t built to your liking.
Yeah, I agree it doesn't have the universal agreement on implementation that NPS does. Here's an alternative that I believe does and is referenced in some of the NPS skeptical research: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Customer_Satisfaction...
Very good point, I didn't know this almost got burned by this while learning Docker. What I did was use shared network (for private db connection etc) in a docker-compose file, and then expose the port I wanted to reverse proxy out on by

ports:
- 127.0.0.1:3000:3000

This way it only exposes it to the local host on the machine without exposing it on the firewall. Then I reverse proxied out port 3000 with NGINX to the outside world. I'm surprised this isn't talked about more in beginner tutorials etc.

Related tangent: Is anyone aware of any CSS frameworks that are "native-like" and not generic web-based things?

E.g. if I want OS-style UI components + styles like a browser tab-strip or pane splitters or toolbars etc?

There are loads of things out there with UI elements, but they seem to be focused on webpage use-cases and design patterns, and so are not really suitable for desktop apps running in sciter/electron/tauri/neutralino/wails/others
