Then the streaming is being done by someone who lives in your household and is permitted under the terms and conditions. And will probably cause no issues, as Netflix will likely register that device regularly appears at your IP address with all your other devices.
Yes I'm serious. Rich people don't need youtube channels. People don't do youtube as a hobby, they do it to make money, so thus I must question his motives, since I assume he has enough money.

Google is using canvas for Google Docs. They can also activate using HTML elements for screen readers. Nobody in open source component development should be discouraged from building the canvas side of things so web app/site developers can do the same thing. It's up to the web app/site developer to make sure there's always an alternative to canvas components. Where practical, the canvas component should provide the accessible alternative, but sometimes the is better done by external component(s). https://workspaceupdates.googleblog.com/2021/05/Google-Docs-...

Not thousands published for me, but hundreds published definitely. There isn't a modern software development trade or software industry magazine I haven't gotten a published article in to, in some form. And my article always starts as an outline of the subject I wish to talk about. One brief thought per line. Typed up in OneNote with any kind of spell check switched off, or a basic text editor like yourself, with no formatting or styling or care for grammar or punctuation or spelling. No annoying squiggly red lines to distract me from my train of thought. Short cut keys to move things around.
>Whirlpool refrigerators are designed so that the light inside fails after a year, requiring replacing a >$100 power controller board.

I’ve run into several microwave controllers with a similar misfeature. All used the same controller board despite being different makes and models. The part that controlled the light was a plug-in board on the controller and a short in the light socket could blow a diode on it. Bad design since burnt out incandescent bulbs often fail with a short. The plug-in replacement cost ~$8, but nobody seems to stock it, only The whole controller board at ~$175.

>"it is the duty of every nation's citizens to democratize their government, or else they are complacent and enabling. And hey, I get it, rebellion is scary. Compliance is comforting, relatively speaking. But don't demand pity points if you choose to accept subjugation."

How willing are you, you personally, to forfeit your possessions and livelihood? Are you willing to die for the cause? Would you accept a death that doesn't result in a victory or martyrdom? Calling on other people to start a rebellion/revolution is easy, especially when you live in a comfortable state and have nothing on the line.

>"And hey, I get it, rebellion is scary."

This is particularly arrogant and condescending. How in the world would know anything about the fears people living under an authoritarian regime have about their own government's treatment of dissenters? Yes, it is very scary to rebel against a government accused of running concentration camps and one that makes high profile people (even billionaires) disappear. But I suppose these potential dissenters just need to be reminded that they need to be more brave, like you!

>"But don't demand pity points if you choose to accept subjugation."

Subjugation isn't a choice. Well, maybe it isn't if you consider suicide an alternative to subjugation. I suppose all those child slaves in the Congo chose to accept it and therefore deserve no pity points. I mean, they could rebel against their subjugation at any time, right?
Meh. The whole "wholeness" and "structure-preserving transformations" thing just sounded to me like he was describing a literal cell division algorithm. He even gave cell division as an example of structured behavior rules producing wholeness out of chaos.

This is really lovely. I think the search results are useful, if you're looking for more static information. Very pleasant, to see only results.

I think, I found a minor bug, while (of course) searching for my homepage:

Based on "The conclusion that (-2)x(-3)=6 is obvious only in the sense that our choice of axioms for negative numbers is obvious—it just seems* like the right way to define negative numbers"*, I think you're arguing that the axioms for the negative numbers are arbitrary. This is not true, as the axioms from the negative numbers are constrained by reality the reality we live in.

Negative numbers need to model different aspects of physical reality; for example they need to describe where you end up relative to your starting point when you walk 5m in one direction, and then walk 6m back in the exact opposite direction. So the axioms for the negative numbers are not arbitrary. I think they are probably unique given certain physical requirements, but I haven't thought or read about this.
Great article but this was not the kind of chaos engineering I was hoping for.
I love your comment, and this way of thinking.

> A necessity of life has become a competitive investment vehicle, and the people most hurt by this are told that it is good and correct and they should accept it by wildly upending their lives for no personal benefit.

I agree also with your other comments that this view is fundamentally inhuman. So many people in this thread are responding with, “Don’t like it? Move!” To the extent that is a humane viewpoint it is either privileged or defeatist. Society is us. We have chosen social policy which turns the fundaments of life into investment strategies for the over-propertied. We can choose differently.
Why not go even further and say humanity needs the separation of money and day-to-day living?

Which I think is fair. Having liquidity for employees of private companies is important and something that is very lacking currently. Right now it seems like your options are risk joining a Series A/B/C/etc company and potentially have to wait 5-7+ years while being fully illiquid the whole time and hoping they IPO or get acquired otherwise all your equity is useless. Or join a public company that typically has a 1 year cliff and then quarterly vests of RSU's that are much more liquid.

I'm seeing a lot of early stage startups offer much higher base salaries to compete with the big tech companies that can give out RSU's and this skew in the long run I feel hurts employees more than companies. So I think this levels the playing field a little bit.

Citizenship and national origin are, as is immigration status (under different laws.) Also source of income.

Renting only to international university affiliates on particular kinds of visas is directly discrimination on the basis of all of citizenship, national origin, immigration status, and source of income, and might also constitute disparate impact discrimination (which California FEHA also covers as well as direct discrimination) on other protected grounds if the direct discrimination wasn't enough.

From the post: "The access to capital and the ability for shareholders to sell on an open market are certainly attractive, but the benefits of an IPO come at a great cost — distraction — that is often overlooked."

Could someone please summarize for me the costs / distractions of an IPO that a private company has to undergo?
Oh sure, rather flagrantly. I count at least four protected traits it discriminates on. (Mentioned in a post in another branch of the thread.)

I don't understand how this is possible. Is it legal in Britain for foreigners to finance political parties?
A couple of questions:

- The progression seems to require going to Git island first which is not possible because I lack gold. It hints at going to the chest under the tree which says: "Ask a friend for an invitation code to open this chest". What friend? What does this mean?

- Even though I can't walk there, I seem to be able to click the challenges and do them (I guess this might not be intended, as it allows you to do things completely out of order). I did all of the challenges for "Java Reference and Value" and received only 2 stars on the second challenge. I suppose this means I did something wrong/sub-optimally, but I did not see any feedback on what that was. Did I miss it?

That is definitely close to what I'm thinking of. What I was trying to say is our 1st reach should be for a graph editor. Behind the scenes it may break down to a command line program, but what you'd deal with all the time is the graph editor that you can mouse around and zoom in/out on, and add/remove edges between nodes/packages. That would be a neat experience.
I wish NATO countries would send so many antitank and antiaircraft military equipment that the Ukrainians would push back and say "hold up we have enough for now" . Why are we being so slow to send them military equipment? It's a lot cheaper now than when Russia invades a NATO country and the gloves come off.
Yes, because of a simple reason - NATO will only defend its members if they didn't "provoke" the other side to attack. Poland is in a far too precarious position to risk anything that could be read as provoking Russia and therefore losing the protection of NATO - Putin would happily take Poland next after Ukraine. Giving the jets to US and then US giving them to Ukraine would avoid that particular issue, but US decided against it.

Lists are great, but shouldn't be used for everything.

This article is a perfect example. These items are all supporting a thesis that the visual nature of lists provides clear value to the reader. The author asserts lists "allow readers to quickly and easily get what they want". But the text doesn't take the time to properly establish why that is the most important property of writing.

Because the author hasn't properly sold the core idea, the subsequent list items just come across as a shotgun approach. It seems as though the author thinks that it they throw out enough ideas one of them will stick, or that the reader will assume that the sheer volume of points means the idea is solid.
We have to have this discussion daily, apparently, but nobody, absolutely nobody in this thread and certainly not the article, has established an objective basis for "Google sucks". The most likely alternate theory, which the article doesn't bother discussing, is that Google does not in practice "suck" at all.

> amassed a giant fortune by taking control of businesses that once belonged to the Soviet state.

The Soviet Union was so vast and disorganized, both accidentally and intentionally, that for decades after it collapsed they showed a trade surplus based on selling the resources hoarded to meet future central planning goals. You had a huge trade surplus, but the money just seemed to disappear. Officially there was nothing to spend it on, but individuals bringing back anything cheap and in-demand within their personal allowance ($2000 I think?) created an enormous grey/black market with no regulation, taxation or statistics. Many of these oligarchs were cogs in the middle of this machine and ideally suited to essentially become "fixers" on both sides of the market.
You missed the selection bias of both the author and simonh homing in on something fanciful and eye-catching instead of something reasonable, and proceeding directly to extrapolate a tale of ignorance. - This is cynicism and not insightful.
I think it's also only going to get worse when the amount of bad content and blog spam is 1000 times the ratio it is today due to really human-like AI writing. I am sure Google will find ways to detect this, but it will be a cat and mouse game for decades because at some point we won't be able to tell apart bad, lazy human writing from AI writing.

At some point the internet has to go to a circle of trust model with real identities tied to online content of any sort. I see no other way to curb this pending disaster than being able to block bad actors and bad actors having very limited means to publish under an alias.

There are a few more dimensions to this.

1) Does "showing support," actually do anything? Are we really aligning on norms or just scoring points with people who already agree the same position? I suspect the detail matter and that there is continuum, where for uncommon positions maybe it does something, but for widely held views, it really is just "virtue signalling."

2) When does "showing support," become a substitute for more substantive action. Maybe I post a pride flag on my social media avatar, but don't bother to vote in a local election with discriminatory ballot initiative. Or consider any number of incidents of corporate "greenwashing."

But sure, plenty of virtue signalling, isn't _just_ signalling. And we shouldn't dismiss it on those terms, but rather ask about impact.
There's a reason examples tend to use ZeroMemory or other mechanism for zero-initializing the entire struct ;)

There are other subtle edge cases as well - like needing to make sure all code (including third party libs) is built with the same defines and settings if they might share said structs without painstaking checking cbSize & never passing by value. (Even that might not be enough when statically linking, as it's an ODR violation - and thus undefined behavior - to mix and match different definitions of the same struct...)
By that logic, we can be counter aggressors and demand Russia leave.

The web itself sucks more and more, and Google results reflect that. Much good discussion migrated to siloed locations like facebook groups. There are thousands of pages of technical content that are barely redone versions of each other. Each SEO'd to within an inch of its life. These are quite similar to the dozens of identical off-brand products one finds on amazon.

I would love to see Google results get better. But the web itself is a mess.

4) if I borrow $1200 from the bank, I don't "owe the bank a productivity increase", I owe the bank $1200. Whether that comes from me being more productive, or working more time into the future, is up to me

bad analogy, since printing money is not a loan in traditional sense - government debt doesn't really make sense - it is a tax on future users of the currency, by means of productivity per dollar is decreased.

more like, if everyone got a loan, and the bank said "trust me bro"...because the dollars were literally invented, not loaned - which increases the total M1 money supply.

the hope was the velocity of the money would also increase, which inflation helps with - stagnating cash loses value constantly.

one way to measure this "tax" (the damage done by inflation) is by measuring the value of the dollar per common good (the BigMac index) and is by debt/GDP/person. Of course it is a political bartering chip; everything is, but is also a useful measure of this change in buying power relative to the dollar.

Business are going to be the first to reap the rewards of the increase in productivity. As they should. Taxes imply the government will be the secondary beneficiary.

A well-executed MMT would then use the excess capital for common-good reinvest, a la the Build Back better plan.

It's a dream, but that is how they hoped it worked.
