> It argues that the music industry tries very hard to bury and hide genuinely new music (and ways of making it), by fear of cannibalizing the old (?), and that it is killing itself in the process.

I read it a bit more nuanced: that the industry is failing to discover and promote new music because it's too preoccupied with making "safe bets" to profit from old music, and part of that is using lawsuits to defend it against plagiarism, which has the side effect of actively stifling new music.
It's easy. Blind test humans and ask them which one they find more "artful". Once the average person can not tell between an AI and human creators, the AI is complete.
So you're in favor of Facebook's policy on this? The article can still reach its intended audience (as you say, health professionals don't get their information from social media) and surely the BMJ will be more - not less - willing to publish controversial articles if they don't need to worry about them being used to mislead the public at large by being shared out of context.
If the study were asking for distance instead of steps, then taller people will naturally go further in fewer steps. But, at least according to these studies, it is the act of stepping that improves health and not traveling distance.
...and thats exactly why you should support Ecosia instead of assuming that they are greeenwashing anything like your company (here's me assuming) does.

It is wrong, imho, to think, just because an employer uses Ecosia as a scapegoat, to think they are doing the same. Or am I misinterpretating your comments?
It has nothing to do with the author of the article. It just baseless accusations.

Popular products and the rise of their OSS alternatives
My understanding is Pfizer was the "cool one" because it was a well established pharmaceutical company that created a vaccine on a compressed timeline that drastically cut the rate of severe illness and death, with performance better than much of its competition. i.e. it was to a great extent based on merit (both in the past and present).

> The vaccine has caused a significantly higher number of cardiac side effects than initial studies reported, which has just sort of been swept under the rug

Links with actual numbers to illustrate the scale of the alleged issue are pretty necessary with this kind of accusation.

You should be able to look at the SPF/DKIM/DMARC related DNS entries yourself with dig and verify that they are correct. I wouldn't trust an ISP's word, especially if you are experiencing problems. I would also recommend setting up weekly DMARC digests via Postmark's free service: https://dmarc.postmarkapp.com/
which should allow you to actually see whether emails are getting rejected and why and give you a lot more data about your actual SPF and DKIM alignment.

> - It’s failed to stop the pandemic in any meaningful way

One of the nordic countries has 10x more infections than the first wave and 0.5x people in intensive care. While the vaccines have failed to stop the pandemic, I disagree that the contribution is not meaningful.
Yes, but that's a separate concern from keeping them all on right now.

Are you saying with confidence that was the motivation? And that still isn't much of how they make the decision including how long to override it.
> Just because you have a single program, it doesn't mean it is required to use a single database.

I would challenge that. Obviously a well written "monolith" with well insulated modules, separation of concerns etc can use different databases but I heard too many times when I ask "why can't we shard the database" the answer "the data model is one and it's way easier to develop on one single data model that on N models inside the monolith".

Depending on what "as a kid" means and your age, did you not try to find such people on internet forums dedicated to (for example) C? I also wanted to learn C when I was a child and did so with those resources (as well as books, which were as impenetrable back then as you already indicated).

@1 the part of the salt being an essential ingredient did escape me so thanks for pointing it out. It does make the whole thing more believable because then maybe (if it works) you can have more clouds for a fraction of mass moved.

@2 yeah I'm all for zeppelins (and trains). It's not immediately obvious to me how to make use of zeppelins (or trains) for this project but maybe they could be used to collect solar power (but do they have enough buoyancy for large solar panels?)

@3 I'm not against sending experimental vessels to the sea and spray water all over the place in order to find out what happens. I'm all for doing some boundary sanity checks beforehand and during such undertakings to see whether basic physics checks out, and this is what motivated my post. I live in Germany, a country with roughly the size of the Great Barrier Reef, and I'm not sure I have a good handle at the size of this country—it is too big. I'd be happy to hear from someone else an estimate for the size, number and horsepower of vessels required to pull this off. If it's a thousand cargo ships, that sounds like an upper bound for being reasonable. If it's a thousand aircraft carriers, then forget about it. If its hundreds of thousands of mid-sized vessels, good luck with acquiring or building, outfitting, maintaining, manning, catering, harboring, and fueling them. Maybe modified oil drilling platforms are better suited for a task like this.
Both can be true, and likely are.
> I know this is a cynic take,

It’s worse than that. This take is a trivial restatement of history, namely that whites and men had most of the power, while amplifying outrage with people already agreeing with you, not contributing to lessening the divide, and causing people like myself to self censor by replying using throwaway accounts.
No, the domain is trivial to move.

The problem is Google Docs which you have shared with many people, Google Photos which has zero rated all my Pixel uploads and will become crazy expensive if manually migrated to a new account. My YouTube channels are tied to this account and a couple of Android Apps.

Calendar is maybe slightly difficult to move. But Email contacts and calendar aren't the problem. In general the problem isn't actually the "Workspace Core Services" that have the lock in. Somewhat funny because they are the ones going away. It is all of the other services attached to the Google account that don't have a migration path like Webmaster and Postmaster tools and Play purchases.

“Don't look up” in product management
How to make people look up from the product manager's perspective
I've read the article, Facebook's "fact checker" page, the BMJ's response, and the fact checker's response, as well as the posted response from Science Based Medicine. None of it "smacks of" anything, the series of events is clearly laid out.

A former Ventavia regional director provided internal company documents to Thacker that laid out potential flaws in clinical trials run by the company for Pfizer's vaccine candidate. Thacker's reporting on these documents places noticeable spin towards anti-vax sympathies for example:

> Thacker writes in the introduction, in which he claims that Ventavia unblinded patients, not that “inadvertent unblinding may have occurred”. There’s a huge difference between the two.

Even without Thacker's spin, this is concerning and deserves investigation. However, for the overall safety of the Pfizer vaccine it's not a significant factor. Ventavia ran 3 out of 153 clinical sites, and signed up about 1000 of 44000 subjects who participated in the trial. Even completely disregarding any data that came from Ventavia, there would be overwhelming evidence of the vaccine's efficacy and safety.

The obvious framing here should be that Ventavia is potentially an irresponsible steward of pharmaceutical trials and Pfizer needs to have greater level of oversight over such contractors. The framing Thacker went with is that the Pfizer vaccine's safety and efficacy are in question due to falsified trials. The latter is simply untrue, and reveals an agenda that is concerning from an editor at the BMJ.
>If I'm running a country and every other country in the world is taxing someone at 15% and i currently get $0, why shouldn't I offer to tax them at 10% if they moved their business to my shores? I get something instead of nothing plus other sources of taxation _because_ they're in my shore.

Are you sure, what about a potential competing country that reduces taxes to 9%? The paradox of competition states that you will get none of the benefits of increased competition in a zero sum game like this. Taxes will be cut to 0%.

So you can now either get rid of corporate taxes entirely or form a global consensus. The former is preferable but it would require land value taxes which are an even bigger threat to the rich than corporate taxes which are just a formality that is easily avoided.

- Provides custom domain support.

- Is cheap ($1 for 3 email addresses).

- Has email web interface and imap access.

- Seems to support contacts and calendar sync via carddav, caldav - standard stuff I can sync my other devices with.

- Apple is reputable enough with security.

Drawbacks:

- No standard two-factor authentication like Google, needs an iPhone/mac for two-factor.

- Migrating Google Photos/shared will be a pain in the ass.

They're entitled to live like that if they want, so long as it doesn't turn into socially and structurally coercing everyone else to live like that.

I'm sure it's very convenient for a lot of people if women were to be forced back out of the workplace and economic independence to be guilt-tripped into caring roles for the rest of their lives, but a lot of people put a lot of work into digging their way out of that and are not keen to see it undone.

>The BMJ article is being used as evidence of Vaccine Conspiracy theories

Where does this logic end? If I screenshotted your post and put it on my blog about how FB can do no wrong, that Zuck should be president, that the government is just out to get FB for being successful, etc. does that mean your post should have included context that clarified that none of this is true?
Facebook can do what it likes - but it needs to be honest and say something like:

- We think the BMJ is too complicated for you to properly understand.

as opposed to

- We had some group independently check and the BMJ is objectively wrong.

The first one seems a little un-pc, so I would say that people sharing stuff online and a loud minority going off on some mad conspiracy is the [acceptable] cost of being open with science and research.
> but this is the hands-down all-time champion example of accelerated drug development, and I know of nothing that even comes close.

For all the flack that Big Pharma gets, when we really needed them, they came through with vaccines and anti-virals.

Meanwhile, governments and government agencies largely covered themselves in shame and incompetence and poor communication.

I am happy that Big Pharma makes big profits that keep very smart people employed. Society is much better off with all those smart people working on drugs or Han if they were working on optimizing click through rates for ads.
As a term it is barely used except by people that overwhelmingly hate the culture (which as said, does not exist as an entity). Asserting what is true and what is not about the term in general doesn't work as a consequence and we should most closely try to approximate what the speaker in question means. I think you covered that well, but for a casual non-native reader it is important to have this expressed.

There are still separatists in south eastern Ukraine. They did down the MH17 because it flew through airspace the separatists had restricted but Ukraine did not. They first thought to have downed an Ukrainian military plane and advertised this fact on social media.

It often isn't called a civil war because the Kremlin uses the conflict to question the legitimacy of the current Ukrainian government.
It kind of depends on the user. My iPhones never break. My daughter's - who actually USES them - are a consumable. Mostly they die due to physical damage or because of the battery croaking after multiple charge cycles per day, but I think she had one where she broke the flash before physically breaking the phone beyond repair.

Now to nitpick on your post: is it possible that there are a lot more iPhone users than Android users in your town? In mine there are no iPhone repair shops, just generic phone repair shops that fix everything if they can.

Edit: there's a discussion further down about plastic laptops vs aluminium laptops and someone saying his plastic laptops never broke. He should take a look at my daughter's laptop :)
I find the ideas developed by this article fascinating. Especially the idea that the war for talent leads to a war on talent. The idea that decentralization is a way to commoditize leadership talent in particular really appeals to me.

But the conclusion seems wildly optimistic. Leadership and management isn't that easy to commoditize. Open source projects still need some management, and, insofar as they don't, it's because they're staffed by either volunteers or people who aren't strongly pressured to have their pay match the value of their work output.

I'm a fan of open-source, but I don't think it generalizes to other sectors. Certainly not to the point we could slap crypto on it and let companies manage themselves.

That's not how the government engages with AWS and other vendors. Even though the rest of the world sees it as one big entity, they engage as if they're thousands of smaller entities.
They generally get access to AWS through resellers, not direct, and from what I've seen, get a pretty substantial pass through reseller discount.
And finally, having seen USDS work, I'm fully willing to believe this is hosted in a basic AWS account they're paying for with a credit card that's on it's own stand alone setup. Rapid launch, standup, and fielding an independent thing generally doesn't play well with working inside those big contract/managed environments. I'd be surprised if the USPS was doing anything here but providing DNS and the address API on the backend.

I used whatsapp exclusively for years before moving to iMessage.

This post misses the point just how much Apple users like iMessage.

The reason iMessage is not popular in other countries is: Ubiquity trumps everything. iPhone is a unaffordable luxury good outside a few rich countries. Apple pricing is horrible.

imo, and most likely all Apple users: iMessage UX is better than WhatsApp

I am curious about the reliability of this media - how many requests until the floppy is busted. Can the website owner comment on this?
But, there you go and counter an anecdote with another just like OP pointed out. I can counter the counter too: I have all my old Android phones - all the way back to my Sony Mini (with sliding keyboard!) and they all work just fine. All of my girlfriends old iPhones are broken or bricked. I'm sure that wasn't what you meant with a reasonably consistent experience from Apple devices. There are a ton a Apple repair shops in any town so its not unreasonably to say that it isn't a rarity that they break. These are anecdotes and you simply cannot use it to compare.

IMO that Apple devices break less are a myth. They just get repaired instead of thrown out hence last longer on average.

Also the SE cost twice what most Android phones cost. It is not a budget phone.

I love the concept of OpenSubtitles, but they seem to have a hard time maintaining centralized infrastructure. I don't really understand why downloads are zipped in 2022 when GZIP over HTTP is plenty efficient: maybe it's for backend storage space, though?

Just treat them as ideological censors, not unlike those employed by authoritarian regimes. You want to publish an article criticizing the party? Not so fast! In order to get past them you have to use euphemisms hoping they won’t catch them. Or, profusely praise the ideology hoping to appease them so they’d let your article through, hoping they would be flattered and let your one slightly controversial idea at the end through.

No, they won’t send you to a labor camp or come after your family. And, yes it’s a private company and if anyone doesn’t like it they can leave, but the mechanics of censorship are exactly the same.
