> The alternative is having bad laws that are enforced just sometimes, at the discretion and personal biases of the not-for profit police.

This happens whether policing is "for profit" or not. Do you think they'll give the mayor or the police chief's spouse a speeding ticket if it means $100 extra in the department budget? These powers are always used selectively. The police just have to avoid using the "bad laws" against a core group of people with political power, and maybe share some of the spoils of enforcement with that group.
Well for almost any service, people would rather prefer it to be free than paid, so it's almost an instinctive emotional reaction. Google being huge makes it a particularly easy target.
I still don't understand how a business can be unprofitable for 16 years. At one point don't you say, "whelp, this isn't going to work"?
I've long suspected that the "defund" moniker was maliciously attached by the other side, as a way of shaping the narrative. "Rebuild" or "reform" would sound entirely too reasonable. If you just repeat the inflammatory term loud enough and often enough, it becomes the de facto name for something even if it's almost entirely wrong. And then you spend the rest of your career tearing down the strawman that you built. It's very profitable.
The cost are high considering pricing is per user which can add up from something that was free - this is in addition to issues about if you made purchases under accounts for these domains which force an upgrade to keep apps
For a simpler example, think of NDAs
If the proper ideological context is "we want to go to war with Iraq"

The statement "Iraq has WMDs" switches from false to true

Similarly, "we want to go to war with China" vs "we don't want to go to war with China" switches "the virus is a lab leak" to "the virus is not a lab leak"
(and downvoting the other appears to be common reaction -- moreso than replying to them, perhaps)
My understanding now is that even if you let the forced Google Workspace account lapse, the underlying accounts will continue to function as Google Accounts. You will not have access to Email, Documents, Photos, Calendar, etc. but you will still be able to login to Google and use Play Store purchases.
I use the Vinegar extension for Safari which replaces the YouTube player for a simple HTML5 <video> tag and consequently removes the ads. Don't know if there's alternatives for other browsers, but worth looking into if this is all that's keeping you there.
I apologize for believing them when they said it would be free forever. My bad.
In most places the housing bottleneck has nothing to do with house prices, it's planning and consent restrictions, and a lack of skilled labour availability.
Exactly how I feel - any softer language would be forgotten and swept aside. I've heard the "police reform" drum being banged on my entire life with little to no effect - I don't blame them for trying a new slogan that cuts deeper.
I would absolutely love to be able to push out software that just "works forever". And this is basically impossible on mobile by design these days.

Hardware evolution isn't a big deal, actually, so long as you can emulate the old on the new. For example, all the old DOS games can still be made to work thanks to DOSBox and PCem. In principle, the same applies to software, except that it evolves too fast for such emulation layers to keep up.

There's likely many more of these.

As a reminder, Linux has millions of lines of code, and all of them run with supervisor privileges.

This is not a good architecture. Generally, you'd try to minimize the attack surface.

Multiserver, microkernel systems based on capabilities is where it's at.

seL4 is the better microkernel to build such a system on.
Paid gmail.com would be commercially equivalent to a wholesale prepaid deal for Google searches.
Well not to a Gmail account (since you can't change your Google account email address), but your Google account and associated purchases is not deleted: https://support.google.com/a/answer/1257646

Just set up your MX with some other service if you are not happy with Gmail, or start running your own SMTP server.
Would be interesting to see this broken down by region - Spotify is very dominant in the UK in my experience for example, but not sure if there will be pockets / countries where it swings the other way.

Personally I find Apple Music just a bit clinical, and it's just not as universal (for instance Spotify works just as well on a PC as a Mac - iTunes for Windows though? ugh).

Your list of complaints is valid, but iMessage has another major downside: it only runs on Apple hardware. Using Signal means almost everyone can participate in a group chat if they so choose.

This is a very interesting option for handling incoming email from a personal domain or two (especially since it's from an established company, rather than a random individuals's email forwarding service :)

Does Cloudflare have any options for handling outgoing email? If not, I assume you still have to set up your actual email host in a way that can send through all the vanity domains, with appropriate DKIM records, etc.
I was subscribed to paid g suite for more than 2 years and only used custom domain email. When Apple released iCloud+ [0] or whatever it is called, I immediately migrated there and am really happy with it.

You will probably need to subscribe to some iCloud plan and have an apple device. But if you already use those, you are good to go.

I pulled the trigger on an Apple Music subscription this year because it pays artists better.

Spotify still considers a penny per stream "entitled" according to an exec giving one of the most absolutely tone-deaf AND nonsensical justifications for their choices ("we solved piracy by more or less adopting piracy's business model and legitimizing it!") [0]

Apple stepped up to that level. [1]

Revenue streams from recordings matter for supporting artists. There's still some issues with the economics of buffet streaming, but a penny a stream starts to at least approach the right magnitude.

I'm not a cancer biologist but I work in the field of supporting cancer research and targeted therapy. My naive take is: the type of mutation and its effect on cancer progression is still being studied heavily. A lot of the understanding of biological pathways and functional impacts of these mutations are being updated and very conservatively corrected. From a systems biology point of view, the whole body is so mechanistically complex in its response to environmental and internal stress that it's a bit difficult to predict outcome / prognosis. Important cancer pathways are well studied and are usually involved in disease progression but it is still very tissue type / biomarker categorisation specific. The real driver mutations are being discovered for each cancer type but the ultimate goal is be able to see the big picture.
Sure, there’s a certain amount of injustice in policing. 90% of Americans agree that some form of police reform is necessary. Leftists lose the rest of us when they argue for depolicing reforms rather than reforms which increase accountability while keeping policing levels.

In particular, it stands to reason that increasing spending for social services isn’t going to pay dividends for many years, but following policing reductions, crime surges immediately and significantly. So again, the rest of us are puzzled by the folks who emphasize “depolicing” rather than some more reasonable policy of “increase social spending while also maintaining a robust police element, at least for the short term”.
Be mystified no more: The USA is huge, bigger than most people can really imagine, so it's quite common for the most egregious cases of police abuse to float to the top. What you won't read on HN is stories about the thousands of normal towns with normal nonabusive police in the USA.

Firefox with ublock origin extension also removes all ads from youtube.
Minneapolis city council members were absolutely on board with abolishing the police department. They tried to get the police department removed entirely from the city charter, replaced with a "safety" department that could optionally hire police staff, if they felt it was necessary.

They have since backed off (and several were voted out of office). They also used "abolish" and "defund" interchangably, because defunding and abolishing the police department was the goal.

Edit: I also just noticed several comments in this thread explicitely calling for abolishing as the commenters believe reform is impossible.
Almost all of Matrix servers require an email if I recall correctly.
I think if you're the kind of person to have an email address on their domain for their printer, you shouldn't feel bad about putting some effort into hosting your email outside of Gmail.
Some distributions disable user namespaces by default because they are considered a dangerous feature. And it probably is, in the end.
Yes, this is the way.

Disclaimer: i haven't followed the steps myself since i'm paying for a personal Workspace account since a few years ago.
When a business stops growing, the MBAs drop in with their spreadsheets and metrics to optimize the operational aspects of the business to get whatever the goal is.

Consider the Google strategy; I can pay $7/mo for Google Workspace email with a small quota, or pay $8 for 2GB storage and email that they give away for free. The $7 premium is for the domain.

My guess is they are seeing revenue growth slow down as Apple slowly chips away and SMB business and Microsoft continues kicking ass with O365. Somebody will get a KPI hit, get their bonus, and take off.
But like, what kind of preventative policing reduces homicides? Who's that person that's out murdering because they saw 10% less cop cars drive by?

A better explanation is that underlying social safety nets have been ripped out from under people for the past couple of years putting way more people in rough, quasi legal situations to get by that make them trend towards extralegal forms of dispute resolution like personal application of violence. Additionally suicides count as a homicide (it's technically a person killing a person), which has made the numbers go up over the past couple years.
I honestly wish people new to web development would learn Elm before trying to learn the dumpster fire that is the JavaScript ecosystem.
But if TPG is an agent of the customer, then AA should be suing the customer. As said above, TPG isn’t subject to the TOS because they aren’t the ones who agreed to them. So, it’s the user that is misusing AAs data. But they don’t want to sue their customers (and in particular each customer individually, because I’m sure there is a no-class-action clause)…

So here we are. It should be fascinating to see where this goes.
I see there is a short section about Python (6 resources).

Good luck with that. For home accounts, you’re tied to GoDaddy. Or rather Microsoft via GoDaddy? Who knows. I would NEVER use GoDaddy after reading various experiences around the net.

Also, no aliases. Are multiple domains even possible?
Google Workspace Alternatives for Families
This is still very disingenuous on Google's part.

When many people, myself and family included, first associated our own custom domains with them, there _were_ no "Google Apps" other than gmail. Google Calendar wasn't a thing, neither was Google Docs, Google Sheets, nor Google Meet. Android didn't exist, neither did Fi. Youtube was still its own property with its own separate accounts system.

Later on, when they started building new offerings, including those that became known bundled as "Google Apps", they continued to conflate the account usage with these several other services. When they decided this was something worthy of charging, they promised "free legacy" edition use indefinitely to users, calling them pioneers and champions of the service, as a way to thank them for their evangelism. The growth of periphery services continued, and now legacy users are faced with a hostage situation for all their data and purchases associated with their accounts.

One state (North Carolina) does do something very similar, that keeps this kind of harassment largely in check [1].

"Partly" reminds me of LinkedIn's case against hiQ

> The LinkedIn dispute arose out of hiQ’s use of automated bots to scrape massive amounts of information from publicly available LinkedIn user profiles. Thus far, lower courts have sided with hiQ on grounds that certain information on the site is publicly available and could be accessed by the public without entering a password. [1]

There are similarities, however, different context in that in hiQ's case, information was publicly available, but in TPG's case the owner of that data (the AA customer) is providing them access to the data. The customer could just as well copy / download / screenshot the data, etc, and transfer it to TPG, obviously most people wouldn't bother, so that should be the core of the argument here. Is a user allowed to make their data available to a third-party? Screen-scraping is a means to an end

Trust is central to the financial system, for better or worse. The whole thing is based on trust - whether it's trust in the person on the other end of the phone, trust in the big-name bank that person works for, or trust in that bank's regulator.

This seems stupid to some tech people, who try to disrupt it by creating trustless systems such as distributed ledgers. But trust keeps on creeping back into the system. There are crypto custodians, crypto brokers, crypto exchanges, all of whom you have to trust to some extent. There is crypto lending. I wouldn't be surprised if we eventually have the Bitcoin Interexchange Offered Rate decided by a handful of the biggest exchanges.
My experience with pro-se representation is that the court doesn't like to side with pro-se individuals. Basically you have to prove everything to twice the standard that the lawyers do to convince the judge.

I might look into it, but I highly doubt anything will happen.

I don't think the complaints matter unless they are pursued. In this case the bar says they won't even investigate it without a court finding misconduct occurred (at that point is there even any investigation needed? Wtf does the bar complaint actually investigate?).
You beat me to it, was going to say the same. It's always a few bad actors that try and hammer our servers, gets annoying real fast. I'd honestly block them and move on, I don't have time to investigate every single request. Now to sue someone? That seems like a waste of everyone's time.
Long time user of Google Play Music as well and I gotta say...while YouTube Music is slightly inferior (edit: to GPM), it's not even close to inferior enough to convince me to go back to Spotify.

Granted, it does look like Spotify finally fixed the thing that got me to leave in the first place (10K library limit) but there's nothing so bad about YTM that I'd bother to pick up and move again.
Tizen is a Linux foundation project, it's not an Android fork. In any case, Samsung can always arrange for preferential treatment as they are the flagship OEM.
Put another way, Google has had a decade to build a migration path from the product they decided would be business only to their consumer product, but didn't.
If that is your problem then you are not the target market in the first place. There are a lot of people who are unhappy with the type of devices we can buy. Pine64 is a refreshing improvement to us, but they are not to everyone.
this is lovely thank you for posting
Same. Ad-free YouTube is essential for me, and getting YouTube Music as part of the bundle is a nice bonus. I have the family plan but my kids are always bugging me to get a Spotify family plan instead. If I do ever cave and pay for Spotify, I'll have to keep the YouTube premium plan anyway since I can't go back to watching the obnoxious ads on YouTube.
> ...does this mean we can extrapolate and figure out whether or not more social safety net containing countries...

I've long assumed that financial insecurity leads to all sorts of bad outcomes. Alcoholism, abuse, suicide, etc. The damage spanning generations and very hard to heal.

So I support any and all efforts to improve that security. Universal healthcare, universal childcare, affordable housing, living wages, parental leave, small business loans. Name it, I probably support it. In other words, Nordic style social democracy, or whatever it's called.

But in truth, I don't actually know that kids in Denmark and Norway do better than in my home state. Overall.

I feel like this is something I should know. I have friends who work on progressive policy issues. So I know tidbits. For instance, that generously investing in preschool greatly improves the lifetime outcomes of those kids.

But I don't even know where to look for population level comparisons. And my quick foraging online was fruitless.
Not sure these are the best examples.

Tesla did some amazing engineering but had some crank beliefs (he thought special and general relativity were nonsense and didn't believe in electrons) and if he was personally unpopular it was probably due more to his seclusion than anything else

Everywhere in the US is a high enough crime area that people need the police to feel safe.
So the genius of the Senate is that it doesn't matter what wacky things Senators believe (and Senators tend to be much more reasonable than reps, who are really wacky due to them representing smaller constituencies).

The Senate is there merely to oppose popular legislation introduced in the house, because the Senate, by itself, can't force any legislation through.

For example:

When Obama had a majority in house + Senate (only for 2 years), there was very strong pressure for medicare for all or a medicare option, and it was blocked in the senate. He only got the half-a-loaf solution that is the current ACA through the Senate.

When Trump had a majority in the house + Senate (only for 2 years), there was very strong pressure to repeal ACA entirely, and ACA repeal passed the house, but was filibustered in the Senate (John McCain was the lone holdout in the GOP). If not for the Filibuster, ACA would have been repealed.

Thus the Senate allowed and then kept the half-a-loaf solution even though one side wanted to eliminate it and the other side wanted to push it much farther and both sides had the popular majority in the house, Senate and the Presidency, but they were still thwarted by the Senate, since they didn't achieve the supermajority needed.

But CA is now rolling out universal healthcare, so the point here is that in a Federal system like ours, if you don't get the supermajority, you do things at the state level, which is how things are supposed to work. We can have some states with very comprehensive social safety nets and some states with barebones protections and lower taxes, and people can choose where to live and how much they pay in exchange for higher service levels.
Any time horizon ? 1 year ? 6 months ?
I am all in on Apple and only a few dollars away from the Apple One bundle being worth it for me but I just don't like Apple Music. The UI is just too difficult to use and it feels slower than it should be, definitely slower than Spotify. While I have no love for Spotify's podcast ventures and dislike them trying to push me to listen to podcasts on their platform, I do love it for music and it "Just Works". Also I can use Spotify with my Echo's in ways that don't work with Apple Music. Yes, you can play Apple Music through the Echo's but only using your voice. With Spotify I can throw music to an Echo or a group of them and control it all from my phone.
> And yet, if everyone does it, then Asian countries will also end up with no community -- because all the young people will be in the West.

Not to mention the impact on prices in those countries.

Over the long term, lots of young people starting their careers (i.e. low net worth) would leave the country to seek good jobs abroad, and only return at the end of their successful careers (i.e. high net worth). All that extra wealth would drive up prices, making it even harder on locals.

> If you want to do geo- and cultural- arbitrage, it seems like, while harder to pull off, it might be better to do remote work and go to a traditional/low-cost country when you're younger.

Eddy Cue should be fired for allowing Spotify to reach such critical mass. Music and playlists is such a sticky ecosystem that people don't just up and switch services at a whim. The 381 million users that Spotify accumulated over the years will never switch to another platform. Apple lost so many years with trying to spin Beats into something that it wasn't, rewriting clients, and putting out garbage like "Your Station".
Yeah, but they also really dumbed down the interior and lowered roof quality, while selling it for the same MSRP as the previous model (still + 10k from the actual sellers, bringing it to Toyota RAV4 territory price-wise).
