I used to work at one of those body shop contracting places. A few years ago, I heard that the boss managed to sell the company, presenting themselves as developing an in-house blockchain product.

I asked around some ex-colleagues and as far as anyone knew, all they had were some fancy PowerPoint decks and a very rough implementation in PHP.

After getting bought, everyone still continued doing the same old body work jobs, except now for the parent company’s other subsidiaries. The website still mentions blockchain.

> (As a personal opinion, the Mario franchise being milked to eternity is exhausting to watch sometimes.)

It's not a traditional game franchise, though -- there's no overarching Great Mario Plot that's being advanced through a series of games. It's more of a set of familiar characters and a barebones setting that Nintendo can apply to a wide variety of games, ranging from the traditional platformers to RPGs (Paper Mario), minigame collections (Mario Party), sports games (Mario Tennis), puzzles (Mario's Picross), dancing (DDR: Mario Mix), pinball machines...

That seems worthy of a factcheck.... Pretty sure Puerto Ricans have been being born inside the United States since 1898. Although technically it took until 1917 before they were recognized as such.

Bro, what?
This is where "private company" arguments start to fall apart when it comes to free speech because at some point, you need hosting or a network connection.
I think everyone's mostly faking it. At least in my experience even the people posting this drivel on LinkedIn and brown nosing for a promotion are totally normal and self-aware when you develop an actual outside-of-work connection with them. I'm also not sure whether this is better or worse!
> However you do not appear to value the principle of free speech very highly or you would be against both people attempting to pressure Spotify and also Spotify picking and choosing content

We can go round and round all day, but the idea that someone can’t voice their opinion against someone else and that someone can’t pick and choose what they want to promote feels very anti-pro-speech to me.
When it comes to government, there's almost no such thing as temporary or emergency power.

You hit a flag for suspicious behavior and they can't tell you exactly what was suspicious because this allows fraudsters and criminal networks to adjust their operations accordingly.

People don't just get terminated for no reason.

Either you were doing something sketchy or you were acting in a behavior that is similar to previous fraud/criminal behavior.

Apple prevents developers from disclosing in the app that Apple collects a percentage of in-app purchase amounts as a fee:

Apple's excuse for this restriction is that Apple considers the disclosure "irrelevant information". Any user who wants to be fully informed about their purchase would disagree.
Spotify competing with YouTube isn't the root problem. The people calling for censorship are the problem.

I used to, circa 2010-2012, at Google. So did my 2010 TL, as did a few other engineers on the team.

I think your impedance mismatch is all centered around "IDE". An IDE is effectively its own TWM; it doesn't make sense to embed it into another TWM. My workflow when I was using XMonad was to put Chrome and DevTools onto one monitor, and then have about 6 vim windows + 6 terminal windows in a 4x3 grid on the other monitor. (I had dual 24" monitors at the time, which soon moved up to 3 24" portrait monitors - I put Chrome + DevTools on one and then had two 2x4 grids on the others then.) It was hugely productive for this, with everything visible on-screen at the same time and hotkeys to switch between monitors.
Internet talkshow. Great name. I will start to use it.
Is it known how they got this info? Typically this would've required hiring some private investigator for a few weeks to follow them and gather intelligence, but now it seems they could have simply ran his name to get all this information from a background check agency (in my experience these background checks are typically very detailed including employment and income information).
Science and consensus being wrong sometimes doesn't mean we have to actively promote widely debunked crap. Or that we cannot boycott and complain about it.

I'd say we can even call for it to no longer be published. And if it can be shown to actively cause significant harm the legal system can respond.

Indeed, that's what I meant. And for less known states, that's usually followed by an awkward silence until they do say US.
I was waiting for this, you have basically gone for an ad hominem, which is how basically you fail to win an argument.

I am assuming from the 'where you sit is where you stand' principle that you are from the Netherlands. I can understand how it can be seen as a bit of a defeat this ruling by Apple and their reaction; the expectations were more of a win. Maybe a 3% discount off 30% is a minor improvement.

Focus on the facts and not the person. Again this is why you are letting your opinion of Apple be dictated by your feelings, and this is why you can't win against them with this mindset.

Btw for someone in my profession to get this is a great thing so I will take the compliment. It is seen as the other person breaking not to have a good argument ;-)

You can't make sacrifices on your living standards when you're already poor and don't have any room to sacrifice. You can't make an informed decision on sacrifices to your living standards when working all the time and don't have any time to go pierce through the veil of megaconglomerate multi source supply chains. You can't make meaningful sacrifices when you live in a community that is too small to be served by more than a virtual monopoly of suppliers.

A surprisingly large number of first party Switch titles were on the Wii U first and didn't drive sales. It's amazing how much marketing and even the product name help. I think Nintendo made the right call to delay BotW on Wii U for a dual platform release. In the end, I'm surprised they bothered with the older console at all, but it probably engendered good will amongst its die hard fans.

Free speech has never guaranteed a platform. Free speech has never mean you can say whatever you want without consequence. Free speech has never meant that people have to hear what you want to say.

Sure, but some external force compelling Spotify against their will to publish speech or censor speech, using their own resources, to harm themselves, is precisely not free speech.

Spotify sells subscriptions to content to make a profit. If something harms that why should they be forced to endure that?
I doubt it. It’s extremely illiquid and won’t help as collateral for any type of loan for liquidity needs. It’s just a 60-100k salary for 1-4 years.

My guess is it'll be against some country singer who is against abortion/anti illegal immigration.
> When Develop X sells IAP for their app, Apple demands a cut. Apple didn't ship that IAP or have anything to do with it.

Apple provides hosting for IAP content, if developers wish to use it

> When Apple collects their cut from an app, they don't pass any portion of that on to Best Buy, who sold that device.

So far I don't believe Best Buy has asked for such a thing. They do ask for fees on things like customer acquisition for cellular plans AFAIK. In the past they have gotten customer acquisition fees for other subscription services, such as ISPs.

Apple's various stores are based directly on this same model (portion of revenue on directly sold products, money for customer acquisition on subscriptions).

> Apple insists that Developer X wouldn't have made that profit without Apple's support, and they're due that cut. By that same logic, Best Buy is due a portion of that because they enabled Apple to make that money in the first place.

Apple has looser restrictions for so-called reader apps (for consuming digital alternatives of physical goods), but generally their restriction is that a consumer-directed app be usable without requiring out-of-app purchasing, and that apps do not direct users to out-of-app purchasing options (either marketing their availability or linking to them).

This is again analogous to what you would expect in a brick-and-mortar store. For example, subscription revenue games are way harder to negotiate for sale at a Best Buy than episodic content. There is no way you'd see such a storefront stock a game that sold for $.99 but required a $19.99/month subscription to play without the retailer getting a major acquisition payback.

A better comparison would be to compare a wild fictitious example against another retailer, Whole Foods.

It would be wild to imagine Amazon selling a high quality refrigerator that only allowed you to place perishable items from Whole Foods inside of it. Independent of whether Whole Foods was selling things at a reasonable rate and of reasonable quality, the expectation is that you would not need to purchase a different brand of refrigerator in order to get food from other markets. No matter what sort of concessions they made, such as offering to sell food at lower margin for local farmers and smaller suppliers, the mere existence of such a closed system would offend some people.

But ironically, those people are just as likely to buy into in other closed systems without blinking an eye. Perhaps they have an EV which is only repairable by its manufacturer. Perhaps they have a game system which requires games to be sold in its store or be pressed onto its CDs, and requires hundreds or thousands of dollars for game developers to sign up to participate. Perhaps they have a smart thermostat or smoke detector which refuse to interoperate with any other vendor.

The reality is that people are offended by the grocery example because they _understand_ the grocery example. Enough to feel that some company is pushing them through bizarre restrictions because of the revenue model they chose to pursue. And those restrictions impact them.
I wonder what rights Rogan might have to publish these episodes elsewhere, or to litigate their removal. Presumably he didn't sign a contract saying "you can have all my episodes and can remove as many of them as you want from the internet, with zero consequences".

> replicating a study done in complete seriousness and honesty is hard and is not guaranteed to yield the same result

Yes, a study failing to replicate is not in itself evidence of fraud. Nor is it definitive evidence that the effect shown in the original doesn't exist, since a replication can be messed up too.

But science needs replication because we're ultimately trying to learn about the world, and an effect we can't reliably produce is usually an effect we're not sure exists. Replication sometimes catching dishonesty is a bonus: failure to replicate calls the effect into question, which calls the method used to find that effect into question, which sometimes calls into question whether that method was actually used. (Or in the case of bad statistics, whether it was chosen to dishonestly show a certain result.) It's the appropriate propagation of doubt.

When I was trying to convince my employer to let me work remotely, I was surprised to find there are reasonably priced dual-wan switches with failover.

Combine a dual wan / failover device with two different internet services, and for $120 a month you probably will rarely have timeouts. Around here, cable costs about $65 for 600MBps, and DSL is about $40.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve found my technical abilities rarely accomplish what I want when I’m trying to move a mountain. In this case, one internet user’s lag isn’t worth much trouble.

I’ll counter myself with an anecdote: I had the same connectivity issues as you- sudden dropouts for a minute, then back up.

I tried multiple cable modems, multiple Wi-Fi routers. After calling and asking for help, 2 days later techs arrived.
The culprit?

The CATV line coming to my property was incorrectly installed, supposedly letting part of the liquid in the cable deep into the coupler. (Hey, the tech said it- not me!)
