> I honestly thought all those well-paid engineers and UX designers who work there could make something better than that

Don't forget that you are not Google's customers. Their advertisers are their customers. You're just a product they sell. So the UX does exactly what it is supposed to do: get eyeballs on advertisements.

Even if you click back at Google's scale inadvertent clicks are big money. Besides you seeing something advertised/promoted they got some free tracking data to sell. So long as whatever they linked to managed to load some tracking pixels or even full tracking scripts before you hit the back button that's more tracking data hoovered up. Even just the request for the resource is data for tracking purposes.
Are we in an (hobby) OS renaissance? I feel like more and more of these amazing projects are popping up.

Do most employees want the sort of high-risk, high-reward equity that founders have? I would think employees wouldn’t want to have so much risk, especially because they don’t control the company.

Could try my Sorun.me script.. built for Ubuntu Budgie and installs a lot of dev goodies (can be read in a basic yaml config file before installing) and yes consistent shortcuts from my meticulously built Kinto.sh app.

I found some references here:

"Custom elements cannot be self-closing because HTML only allows a few elements to be self-closing"

https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/web-component...

It seems only void elements are allowed to be self closing:

https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#void-elem...

The trailing U+002F (/) in a start tag name can be used only in foreign content to specify self-closing tags. (Self-closing tags don't exist in HTML.) It is also allowed for void elements, but doesn't have any effect in this case.

Did you actually read it, though? He says "there is nothing wrong with identity politics as such; it is a natural and inevitable response to injustice. But the tendency of identity politics to focus on cultural issues has diverted energy and attention away from serious thinking on the part of progressives about how to reverse the 30-year trend in most liberal democracies toward greater socioeconomic inequality."
> They have to introduce the same safeguards that have been standard in their respective industries for decades

I'm glad Lyft and Uber have to comply with safety regulations, but I think you're overestimating the quality of old "non-tech companies" and the quality of the services they deliver. The cab companies in my city were frankly terrible and delivered a terrible service for a lot of money.

They made a huge stink about safety, trying to get Lyft and Uber banned from operating here. They trumpeted a whole smorgasbord of safety benefits that they supposedly offered that Lyft and Uber wouldn't, but it's not like their policies and standards actually meant that when you got in a cab you didn't face exactly the same hazards they claimed to protect you against. You still took your chances with poorly maintained cabs, drivers who didn't know or knowingly disregarded traffic laws, frequently a different person driving the cab than on the license, etc. In fact when I got in an argument with a friend about it I only had to do a Google search and, oh yeah, it seems just a few years before there was a cab driver who assaulted multiple women while driving somebody else's cab.

I'm sure everybody in town had at some point heard about that guy who assaulted women while driving a cab, but just a few years afterward, the cab companies were able to use the specter of a rapist driver to argue that we were safer in cabs! It's a cynical exploitation of human psychology. Cabs have been around forever, so we perceive them as safe, yet we're terrified when something new is proposed that has the same risks.

(Cab companies warning about the dangers of Lyft/Uber reminded me of insurance companies warning about the horrors of public health care. Sexual predators picking you up, can't go to the doctor you like, unsafe cars and drivers, massive charges if a drug or procedure you need isn't unauthorized, if you listen to their scare rhetoric, they are both reciting their own known, long-standing flaws.)

Sometimes the result of "years of experience and evolution" is crappy companies and a crappy industry that deserves to be disrupted. I don't know where you live and what kind of cab companies were there before Lyft and Uber, but from my experience you could hardly have picked a worse industry to talk about the risks of disruption.
It's a statement, like having the latest iphone or apple watch. Go on a tesla forum, they behave exactly like tech gadget fanatics.

There are obviously counter cases where people have committed crimes many years ago, but a trivial search for their name brings the crimes up as the first result.

This obviously makes it hard for them to move on. It’s an impossible line to draw concretely, but there is a distinction between branding someone for life over what may have been a one time mistake and keeping an accurate and accessible record of the news.

The examples you used as examples are obviously pretty horrible and won’t draw sympathy, but there are obviously other crimes.
For those, like me, who weren't familiar with this feature, it was a partial noise cancellation on the receiving end. It was designed to help you hear the phone call better by suppressing ambient noise.

As I understand it, the phone still has the same number of microphones, so it isn't due to a limitation that way. I wonder if it uses a dedicated noise cancellation chip that wasn't available in sufficient quantity, or maybe Apple is just wanting to push people towards airpod pros?
The notion is that it was extremely fast delivery of a complex solution by an administration known to regularly stretch the truth when politically convenient (if not outright lie, c.f. inauguration crowd size and, now, response to the legitimate 2020 election).

The reality is that the mRNA vaccines were basically ready to go within a few weeks, and political dregs kept it from being approved even faster. But its inadvisable to change the bureaucratic infrastructure for disasters during disasters, and so here we are.

Yes, I’m a strong believer in cryptocurrency, but I don’t believe any current cryptocurrency will be the one that changes the world. They deserve praise - some of them - for laying groundwork, but I tend to believe that the world-changing crypto will have to behave more like Moxie Marlinspike described in his recent essay: i.e. truly building on cryptography as the source of trust, not distributed consensus among servers.

The transaction processing mechanism will also have to radically change, and be detached from the mechanism for generating money (even if you believe the two should be proportional, to strictly couple them is an impracticable engineering failure).

As for Bitcoin, aside from the flaws in Satoshi’s scheme itself, the current Bitcoin system has suffered from focussing on its unexpected popularity as a store of value, which popularity has meant it’s incredibly volatile and thus useless as a medium of exchange or unit of account. Of course the slow processing as a result of the mining mechanism is also a major hurdle.

I hope something better will come about soon. I know that it won’t come from the world of people who suddenly idolise Bitcoin because of the cult around it. It’ll come from the people who were capable of reading the original paper and seeing its potential even before it was in the news - that’s a tiny subset of crypto enthusiasts, but I hope they stay motivated.

(Final thing: it’s ‘wither’, not ‘whither’. ‘Whither’ means ‘from where’.)
Point 3 is very true, however as far as competing on price, CloudFlare was a fraction of the cost of cloudfront when we had priced it out, despite the nontransparent pricing.

Have you tried asking car owners if they want a car with expensive interiors? Or cars that don't catch fire? Or cars that work well in extreme weather? Or bumpers that don't fall off?

Maybe they'd tell you they do. But wallets, and recent sales trends, speak differently. The market clearly does not value these things as much as you think it does, at least in comparison to the other features Tesla promises.

(source: happy Tesla owner, no stock held)
A friend if mine who is a huge Tesla fan became furious when I pointed out that his car is essentially coal powered, since he charges it at home, and the electricity in our area is primarily derived from coal as of currently.

Note that he did not become curious or refuted the facts. He simply became furious that I pointed this out.

I’ve found a lot of Tesla people are like that. Rather than being comfortable with some of the facts, it seems like they don’t like it when facts don’t match the narrative.

> Emergent just means a more complex behavior [...] resulting from a simpler rule

Emergence is more a behavior that results from the relationship between two parts of a system. The fox fleeing behavior leads you to interesting things only when coupled with the way the triangles are laid out. The two parts of the world model together bring out the emergent behavior.

That was a fun read. I liked how you grouped the headings at a high level. It might have helped to have some diagrams, or split each of the paragraphs into sections focusing on some aspect e.g., pid that was shared between the various states -- and then illustrate the differences or transformations to process.

I got a little lost in some of the paragraphs like "Birth" with the sentence regarding `ls`. It was a little run-on.

So how is advocating for a system that removes all social pressures towards healthy lifestyles a fix or even improvement? You assume people are incapable of nuanced discussion, yet you appeal to a vague "it's complicated" approach that merely avoids the issues.
So can headphones and earbuds, and society seems to do just fine with the normal level of consumer electronics regulation. Is there really value in the medical device regulations for hearing aids beyond that?
No, you you misunderstand the incredible coincidence here. The pilots, thinking they were about to arrive in Japanese airspace, requested and recieved permission to climb to a higher altitude. At that very moment, the soviet fighters had obtained missile lock.

The plane suddenly began to climb, losing speed and resulting in the interceptors overshooting and needing to maneuver to get back in line with the plane. From their perspective, it was a well timed and effective evasion of the first missile, but the Korean pilots still had no clue.

I mean think about it from their persepctive, this plane is visually indistinguishable from a military plane built specifically built to conduct surveillance operations doing a perfectly timed flyover of a missile test, not responding to communications or warning shots, and apparently dodging an AA missile. The soviets were paranoid, sure, but that situation is one in a million.
No, I wanted to try the DOMParser API and build a programming language that was valid HTML and would be closest to the HTML spirit, that's why I built the expressions as a stack language, to avoid introducing syntax for arithmentic, comparison and boolean expressions.

> Of course they're text. What else could they possibly be?

Symbols.

> As for going beyond text, it becomes difficult to coordinate richer types of files between different groups

Well, yeah, the reason why we focus on Unix as a lowest common denominator for OSes, text files as the best way to store code, etc isn't because they are objectively superior to everything else, but because they are things that were good enough and existed earlier enough to gain approval and have people learn and rely on them.

But while this is a practical concern, that doesn't mean we can't think of alternatives. Perhaps with a stroke of luck or the right circumstances (e.g. some new type of platform) it could even catch on.
Thanks.

I'm trying to determine whether or not the language in Title 18 refers to "territory" in the sense of "any land that is part of the United States" (which would include the states), or "organised Territories exclusive of states". It's odd that the language is chosen but not clarified.

I'm aware that generally states have jurisdiction within their own boundaries, but that interstate commerce is an exception. Given railroads' history ... the distinction, contenxt, and intent seem needlessly vague.

Your original point remains though it's not clear to me it's the correct interpretation.

Nope, not just you. Been coding since the 80's, and command-line tooling has become more noisy and less parser/redirect-friendly over the past decade (but option parsers have def. gotten better). To be fair, once terminals started supporting escape color codes, things started to fall apart (circa late 90's). IMHO.

I do concede that the tone has shifted recently, but I still don't feel that the full picture of Musk's deeds are known to most people. In my perception, he has achieved a religious status

Ordinary computers are nowhere near as efficient at the special purpose ASICs used by miners.

You'd have to reserve a huge amount of capacity from semiconductor fabs, get them to make a tremendous number of special purpose chips, then landfill them when you are done.

If the blockheads can tell the difference between their nodes and your nodes they can roll back to before the first block you took over. Worst comes to worst you can force them to become a permissioned blockchain.
You are falling for the same binary thinking I'm criticizing. I never said anything about removing social pressures towards healthy lifestyles. I'm not supporting the woke "fat acceptance" stance. I can't stand acceptance of being fat actually and am all for fat shaming. It's a horrible drag on our health system and society.

I'm advocating for BOTH systemic and personal responsibility. Why is that such a crazy stance?

I suspect if this happened, there would be some kind of "hard fork" that would let the status quo keep going.

Otherwise I definitely support the sentiment of trying to destroy it, and maybe ongoing attacks like what you propose would help burst the current bubble.

From a tech standpoint, I think all the mining now is done with asics that are orders of magnitude faster at hashing than any general purpose hardware. So I don't know how feasible it is for groups that are not bought into bitcoin to launch such an attack.
I’ve just finished an rpi based device that would be going into mass production if it wasn’t for the parts shortage, with some digital IO and I2C. It took me about a year calendar time to convert the software stack to elixir+nerves as a side project, with many improvements just because of the good infrastructure support for remote deployment. Circuits wasn’t particularly weird, though it had only limited support for some advanced GPIO functions.
This is true. I feel for people that struggle, I really do but it should also be acknowledged that many good and enduring relationships—-romantic and platonic—-were catalyzed by alcohol. Maybe the alcohol wasn’t strictly necessary but empirically it sure helps. That’s not something we should be so quick to dismiss when weighing costs and benefits.

You're not allowing for someone to still consider the ethics of an issue: it's not like subtraction, if A has it and B has it than neither have it, so why consider it. IMO that's reductive. It can still be considered.
It sounds a bit like a good reason to use PPAs in some ways. But the rest of your writeup above is also the exact reason you want multiple ways to go about this thing, rather than one way. I think I use at least six different methods of getting the software, each with various strengths depending on the situation.

For example I see that Scoop runs best with "portable" apps and links directly to those third-party binary web resources. But what does the Scoop ecosystem do about third-party platforms that require special compile-time flags? Typically that's where a third-party repo maintainer would come in.

I've always thought abstinence was a questionable goal at best. The only reason I can see not to devolve into total hedonism is that it doesn't work.
