So I guess the big questions remains: (1)Do Google still get to tax all revenue made by the app? (2) are we likely to see price differentials, so that Spotify can return some of the savings to users?
My Brother printer becomes 20 years next year. It's still working as new, have changed drum once and the support page on Brother even says it supports windows 10 and yes it does, it just worked. No extra installation needed. My Brother MFP (scanner, printer) I found in a second hand store for 10 euro, also just works but is a bit newer.
Wow what a story.

It reminds me of a joke we have in Spain about unlikely pregnancies. It ends with
“If you got pregnant, we’re calling the baby McGyver”
But those are paid for by your bank (by charging high interest rates on the percentage of people who don't pay right away), not by MC/VISA.
I'm sorry if this verges on being incoherent, it's late where I am, and I'm very tired. I just created an account after lurking a very long time and frankly I'm tired of the fact that my perspective isn't really shared here.

I'm a black American trying to get into tech and I've sent out hundreds of resumes and applications and work on all sorts of projects learning all sorts of skills. I have had a few interviews, whether they be with teams or recruiters and I feel I get rejected for the most ridiculous or petty reasons. I was referred to a job that required html and javascript knowledge and was given a test where I demonstrated my proficiency, was seemingly approved by the first three people I interviewed and their manager still vetoed me just after looking at me on the zoom call. She literally said, to my face, while smiling, "yeah no," without even looking at the work I did for the test. I have more but I don't want to veer to far off onto a rant, but if you'd like to hear about my interaction/conversation with a recruiter last Friday, I'll gladly share it in a response.

Maybe you don't think this is discrimination, and I'm just gonna have to agree to disagree, and I have met a number of wonderful russian people myself, but I know my experience as a black person getting into tech isn't exclusive (I've read other's experiences on twitter, yeah I know that site is looked down here, but bear with me) to just me, and I'm asking that before you just consider blindly consider one group of people from abroad to be the beneficiaries of your "goodwill," can you give black americans who have worked their butts off to try and get into tech a chance too?

The problem is certificates and WAN access, and lack of MDNS on Android. There's basically no way to do anything that doesn't involve some manual setup, aside from developing a new purpose built app, and maintaining it in addition to the product, probably on two platforms.

If Mozilla still had FlyWeb things could be plug and play.

I have a set of proposals here to bring some of that back: https://github.com/WICG/proposals/issues/43

And some are considering the Tox protocol, but in general, we have not solved the most basic issue of self hosting. How do I connect to my device in a way that just works, LAN or WAN, without manually serting up the client or registering for a service?
Sorry for a small hijack. We have been trying a kid for a few years, doing IVF etc. with no luck so far. An endless source of irritation to me is a complete inability of the doctors to show any kind of probability distributions for the process. So, I'd like to find data that answers questions like how many embryos are alive after n days on average and on 10th percentile etc.

Does anyone know a decent data source for these kind of statistics?
First of all forget about what popular media tells you. And yes that includes the "Threads" film, which somehow keeps popping up when people think "realistic post-apo".

Second, evaluate your risk. Depending on where you live your danger might be extremely limited, or enormous. But just like during the first wave of the pandemic, location is the key. Is your country threatened by a neighbor? Is it isolated? Is it rich or poor? Do you live close to military or other strategic infrastructure?

Finally, you can start preparing. But only after the first two.

In my case when the corona started spreading I've bought couple of packs of masks, latex gloves, vitamin supplements and antipyretics (reduces fever). And when the first emergency was announced (about 9 days later) I was fine.

I didn't waste money on stuff that remained plentiful, I didn't buy expensive toys like a fallout shelter. I was calm and evaluating my risk before doing something.

You should too.
What non-deadly diseases are Africans routinely vaccinated against, pray tell?
1. Yep, all the time

2. Yep, all the time

3. Attractive/unattractive: unattractive from every girl I liked throughout high school, except at the end. After that many times when I approached people. When I got a bit better at expressing myself I got to hear a couple of times I was attractive.

4. Childhood was pretty messed up. I don't want to get into it. Let's say that my parents cared and I had enough food. Let's also say that I've learned too much about drugs, sexual abuse, violence and death before I was 10. Fortunately, I saw it happening around me not to me (except for bullying by some kids at my "ghetto school", but I can't blame those kids, they had it much rougher than me as they did experience some of those things directly to them). Because of this I have a unique insight into the lowest parts of Dutch society. I fought as a kid but wasn't any good at it, it was barely enough for self-defense and for kids to know I wasn't the easiest target. When I got to middle school / high school I was transferred to one of the poshest schools ever (still a public school though, the barrier to entry was having a high score to be let in as it was pre-university only, most schools offer all pre-whatever levels). I was dumbfounded by how little violence there was. In retrospect, many kids there were upperclass, I had no clue until I hit my late twenties and met upperclass people and noticed "they feel as my high school".

The biggest skill I've learned with approaching people is to not be phased by rejections. I've had amazing peaks in social suaveness from time to time but in most cases it was below mediocre.

I'd like to argue that I came a long way. But going through all this rejection and having a nice life now in the romantic / social deparment is totally worth it. It's worth all the rejection. Hell, it's even worth the uncertainty of understanding if it will ever work out. It took 3 years before I saw any results (16 to 19). I had no choice, it was either going through hell or die alone. I decided that going through hell was less painful. In retrospect, I didn't go through hell, there was some heavy turbulence but I made it seem a lot scarier than it was. And I've noticed that other people make this seem a lot scarier than it is (just read the comment section of this thread).
You are right. A lot of people here seem very proud of themselves for installing a Chromium derivative or using Chrome itself. They don't seem to realize that without Mozilla, Google effectively controls web standards far more than Microsoft was ever able to dream of. The web is going to be whatever they dictate it to be. There's nobody left to challenge them. Most of the old competition has thrown the hat in the ring. Opera killed their browsing engine long time ago. MS followed when they released Edge. Apple is still holding out with Safari of course but only on Apple controlled operating systems. There are a few independent engines with minuscule market share. And there is Mozilla.

There are a gazillion Chromium based browsers and they are each dependent on Google developing and maintaining that. Google controls its roadmap, the internals that render your pages, it employs the engineers working on it, and the gate keepers vetting the occasional pull request from outside Google. But lets be honest, most of the work is done by Google engineers. Nothing happens to Chromium without their consent and backing. They control it completely.

So, the likes of Brave, Edge, Opera, etc. might do a fine job adding their window dressing, minor tweaks, and what not. But they are outsourcing the core browsing components to Google.

Without Mozilla it's down to just Apple and Google running the show. Apple has Safari and Google has Chrome. The rest does not really matter since it is effectively all Chromium. Unless you are paying the Apple tax, you'll have just one choice: consume the web via a Google provided code base.

That's why it is important to keep Mozilla going. With three major browsing engines, most websites have to make sure to work with all of them. Apple, Mozilla, and Google have been doing great work together in standardizing what they do and collaborating on new non exclusive features that each of them then implement in a way that works the same in each browser. Mozilla has a crucial role in keeping the other two honest. It matters.

And Firefox is pretty nice. I use it on desktop and on Android.
I retain a Windows VM specifically and solely to run a scanner driver for my ten year old ScanSnap S1500. It works just fine!
Just a heads up with this. If you want one, make sure you get an off the shelf config if you can. The turnaround times for replacements and repair is likely to be bad on non stock configurations.

This pushed me to the 14” MBP with 16GB and 1TB. You can literally get it swapped out same day at apple stores if anything goes wonky.

This is only part of the troth where I live: Austria.

Here you can take a year long course to learn the basics to go to university without going to High-School first- a friend of mine did exactly that.

OFC in reality this is much more difficult due to other factors such as work, family and so on and requires a good degree of discipline, but going to university does so too...
You can't really deduce anything without knowing more about the test suite: How much network and file system does it do? How well can it use the full core count?
A good alternative would be decentralized peer-to-peer apps. I can see a a youtube-like app using a technology like torrents where users also host the videos they watch. If it would be easy to use, convenient and fast, I can't see any reason why such an app can't become successful. In a similar manner, I can't see why blogging platforms or social media p2p based apps apps can't be successful provided, of course, they are easy to use, convenient and performant.

I know two cases when people gave up trying to conceive, they got pregnant naturally.

One was doing IVF, the other hormone therapy. Both needed a break and both got pregnant in this break.

Or regulation.

In Australia, the Reserve Bank regulates interchange fees and requires the end user to be made aware of card processing fees which can't exceed a percentage/value of the transaction.

Similar regulation applies in the EU.

There's no reason why Google/Apple/etc stores can't be similarly regulated.
I'm not suggesting it's unique, I'm saying I don't understand it. If you don't strongly care, why does it matter? Are you suggesting your opinion on how to present yourself is not influenced by others? In which case, how do you decide if something is good?

This is not at all like poorly fitting clothes. The bicycle is clearly used as designed.

I suppose what I don't understand is that I embrace unusual. Something that raises a discussion is partly what makes something interesting and worth doing. It seems to me you present the question around fashion as one of fitting in, and that seems a somewhat depressing view of the world when laid out so starkly.

Even though of course I care about what people think about me, I would never admit that as being the reason I would dismiss something a priori. It's that bit that puzzles me most - your openness to being subject to the whims of fashion.
Also you can run x86-64 and arm64 VMs side by side with UTM on the M1’s. That’s what I am doing. Although I don’t need to use the x86-64 one these days as Debian/arm64 is fine for my needs.

Debit is not just big digit, it is an ever deepening well. There are many people that have paid ten of thousand of dollars of their student loans and still saw the total due amount increase.

A loan with a very reasonable 5% overall interest if paid on time can have unbounded interest if paid late enough.

The student dept crisis is dominated by the latter kind of situations.

(still yes, it is zero compound interest + 50% fixed interest)
This idea just struck me reading your post, but I think it's something novel. I've read a lot of responses here, and yours encapsulates the argument that speech is subordinate to tolerance better than most. As someone whose immediate family are the only survivors of mass genocide, I'm keenly aware of the dangers of giving intolerance a platform to poison innocent minds, or of tolerating it at all. But not tolerating it, to me, means taking the time to address it rather than attempting to silence it by another act that could be portrayed as intolerant and thus give ammunition to the enemy. So I think it's succinct to say I look at the Overton Window concept like this: Anyone who wants control will try to put the window of debate where they want it, and narrow it as much as possible. The solution is not to move the window but to stand by the value of widening the window and keeping it as wide as possible. The fact that it has shifted in directions some agree with and others disagree with is useless as an argument for restricting or expanding it. Where it is wide and debate flows freely, there will be more tolerance. Where it's narrow - wherever dissenting opinion, even intolerant opinion - is treated as beyond the pale, eventually your own opinion will be treated as beyond the pale, and no one will be left to speak for you. My grandparents were communists and their family was murdered in the Holocaust. To me the primary lesson of the 20th century was that all ideology is a source of horrific torture and murder. Only by absolutely widening that window of speech as much as possible can individuals hope to fight the excesses of whichever ideology happens to be in the middle of the window at the present moment. And living through several fascist-leaning American administrations has made me realize just how temporary the current leftness of that window is, so I really shake my head when I see people of the left attempting to narrow it.
I hope that makes sense programmatically, as an algorithm, if not emotionally.

Edit - because I'm just formulating this. I'd say there's no place the Overton Window can be which is tolerant. Some centers maybe more than others, but actual tolerance only exists where it is wide, and surely wherever it is narrow it will end with suppression of valid dissent.
Sample size of 1 here too. My dad started drinking MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution) , which is a solution you dilute in water to create a compound that cleans the body or something. He started feeling better, no more headaches, better humour, started loosing weight, was sleeping great, etc. Turns out my brother replaced it with water the next day he bought it. Placebo was the real miracle here.
Right, but wouldn't the steam produced assist in smothering the fire as well? Water expands rather a lot as it turns to steam.

just forgot to add:

we also have the possibility to go to evening school (for free) to get a High-School diploma and join university as a regular student. My Brother-in-law did that. He learned to be a Baker (in Austria and Germany we have a very interesting craftsmanship system where you train on the job that works out pretty well) and wen to university.

I guess Mozilla will never be coated in Google-can-do-no-wrong teflon, no matter how Chrome-like they make their browser.
Interesting. I had a Brother duplex wi-fi laser printer die on me last year. It was about 10 years old but had led a very sheltered life - only on its 2nd or 3rd toner.

Didn’t seem to be anything mechanically wrong with it, but one day it just stopped printing or receiving commands properly. Still booted up ok and menus were responsive, but would freeze up on any attempt to print, even a test page. Sad day, but I’ve learned to live without a printer now.
I’m also not on top of all that security stuff so I hope the NextCloud, Traefik and Ubuntu devs are on top of it…

I agree on the general position. And I use Firefox as my main browser on my secondary laptop. But I think your rant goes too far in the other direction. For instance:

> You are free to donate, instead.

Donations go to the Mozilla Foundation, which allocates money to various internal and external projects. So why donate if it doesn't fund the web browser? From their own words:

"Mozilla Fellows and Awardees represent a range of disciplines and geographies: They are policymakers in Kenya, journalists in Brazil, engineers in Germany, privacy activists in the United States, and data scientists in the Netherlands." in https://foundation.mozilla.org/en/what-we-fund/

> So they bundled a service or two at some point. You clicked 'no' and were never bothered again.

That's not the only problem, and far from it. As a power user, I've been annoyed by the removal of features. At some point, to keep vertical tabs, I had to modify obscure config files, and venture into the poorly document about:config. And Firefox last rewrite of their download manager was full of bugs, with half of them still there a year after. If not for the free software and web engine competitor, I would not use Firefox.

For my aging parents, the Firefox experience is far from smooth. An upgrade lost their frontpage bookmarks. Several others changed the UI to the point they had to call me.
Some people enjoy their work very much. They're not "grinding away". For example, I know salesmen who enjoy what they do a lot. People who build houses like building houses, etc.

> The future isn’t build by greed and hustle, but by ambition and dreams.

Those two are not distinct at all from each other.

BTW, dreamers don't accomplish anything unless it is accompanied by the other three.
Can you elaborate on how you think this is relevant? Honest question. By the way, I would totally support such an initiative, but not with the goal of eventually removing all religious material, rather to avoid single perspectives.
Considering that C++ templates can run arbitrarty computation during code template instantiation (making the "slower" factor potentially unlimited), I think constant time 18‰ slower compilation is pretty acceptable. My build times went from 7 secs to 8-9 secs.

Also considering that the Go compiler has a history of getting better and faster (and harder and stronger :-) with each version, I am personally quite satisfied with Go1.18.

Interestingly, his core point is that your own essential being is not self-conscious.
So this is basically Eternalism[1]? Instead of writing a program that reads inputs, experiences a sequence of state mutations and takes actions, you generate the graph of every possible state and path between states annotated with inputs on the edges and outputs on the vertices, and let the runtime pick the actual path through it. And this works because you're generating it lazily, but that's just an implementation detail. And the program in itself isn't ever in any particular state, because the program is the description of every possible state.

I guess they should describe FP as 'referentially transparent' or not.

Haskell is referentially transparent, but you can't say the same for many other FP languages like erlang, or ocaml.
