Voss teaches classes, as well; they are useful well outside the bounds of hostage negotiation, in almost any context where soft interpersonal communication is a determining factor.

My introduction to Mr. Voss was through an immersive training event, where the participants got a small taste of his world/skillset. Watching him work was illuminating, to say the least. Mostly, the value I've retained from that experience has been applicable in business contexts, and, ironically, during the home-buying process. It changed how I looked at interpersonal conflicts, and has been very handy in figuring out a path which essentially leaves all parties feeling like they got what they needed to get out of the deal.

Lou Holtz [0] used to use these questions and one more as the three questions you ask leaders in general.

The other one was "Are you committed to excellence?" which he sometimes described as "Do you have high standards and do you strive to live up to them?"

I always liked his ending statement whenever he talked about this:

"Think of someone you respect. Now think of those questions. Odds are the answer to all three is 'yes'. Now think of someone you are having problems with and, again, think of the three questions. I would bet the answer to at least one of them is 'no'".

You missed the good old days of firefox on android supporting hundreds of extensions.

progress, I guess?
They were going to have their cores be able to run both ARM and x86 binaries but IIRC patent issues with Intel prevented them from doing both so they just went with ARM. Whether you need the x86 patents to run have a Transmeta style processor running x86 might be something that can only be settled by going to court.
Better than 750m I guess, but with my napkin math its still 1200 old YC deals / 300 new YC deals which are most likely to have a better ROI than a crypto exchange. But la Caisse doesn't invest in small businesses, they want big deals to reduce risk (ironically).

uBlock by itself is enough to justify using Firefox on Android. Still sucks that they made it so limited, sure, but Mozilla's really good at nailing "somehow the least awful awful browser".

> We've got a better chance of the USA banning oil exports to lower crude prices

Banning oil exports would reduce the incentive to pump domestic oil, and, because much of the domestic supply isn't the grades best for producing gasoline, even if it did reduce the price of those grades of crude, it wouldn't do much for gasoline prices.

Why not both?

Certainly everyone who creates a (somewhat serious) web framework is at least aware that they could also participate in the development of an existing on. If they feel there is something to gain by going from scratch, why not? I don't think the popular existing frameworks exactly suffer from under-contribution.
> manufacturing is actually quiet expensive due to strong unions in germany especially in car manufacturing etc.

Except that not all industries are unionized so workers' exploitation is rampant, especially in low margin, low wage industries like fruit and vegetable picking, meat, hospitality, etc. where most of the migrant workers end up. The exploitation of migrants during Covid was even documented on DW.

Through work, I once had to vist one of the biggest meat plants in Germany, and nearly half the workers were Polish, and the other half Romanian. I asked them if they're unionized, they said 'no'.

The cache and the preview snippet have been considered stolen IP by news agencies for years and in several cases these news agencies have been awarded the right to demand Google stops displaying their content (which they quickly reverted once nobody visited their site anymore). Google Images also contains a vast amount of material that's cached by Google, available for quite some time after the source has been deleted.

You can definitely hold companies accountable for ID verification. The EU even required Google to verify users are 18+ to view some YouTube videos, either by uploading an ID or by paying a cent through a credit card.

Pornhub already requires ID verification and more, so it should catch abuse of their systems. However, when you have a video of five people going at it in front of a camera with a whole production team, I'm not sure who you're going to verify and how.
Others have responded to the technical deficiencies in your comment.

I’ll just say it’s a bit rich to be telling the developers of React - “all this can be done with a server side rendered PHP”. The developers of React are well aware of what PHP can do, because they work at a company with one of the largest PHP (-ish) codebases in the world. Almost all pages on Facebook were completely server rendered, but they’re gradually moving towards React based web pages.

Please consider that the people making technical decisions might know what they’re doing. Please don’t condescend.

> How about we start teaching our kids to be decent, independent, contributing members of society?
> Rather than delegating all of our problems to daddy Government?

You give the average human too much credit and decry an effective solution in the same breath. Modern society is full of opportunists and predators, in all corners of the US and most people are ill-equipped to conceive of their tactics, much less spend time and effort to guard against them. You might want to internalize those ideas.
Any ecosystem where you’re running code from unvetted third parties is susceptible to this problem.

We either need solutions to improve the supply chain safety or never use third party dependencies.
That's exactly why they plan to either ban ICE or tax the hell out of them. Because society needs you to switch to electric, so they need to make you want one.

It's not fast enough to make electrics better, so we need to make ICE worse as well.
Didn't some electric reliability council rate the midwest as potentially not being able to fully supply electricity during normal peak operation?

https://www.nerc.com/pa/RAPA/ra/Reliability%20Assessments%20...

Section MISO:

> Highlights

> Tighter than normal operating conditions are anticipated, particularly in the MISO North/Central region, which
cleared too little capacity in the 2022–2023 PRA. The PRA capacity shortfall of 1,230 MW signals a potential for
operating risk during peak summer conditions.

> Risk Scenario Summary

> Expected resources do not meet operating reserve requirements under normal peak-demand and outage scenarios.
Above-normal summer peak load and outage conditions could result in the need to employ operating mitigations (i.e.,
demand response and transfers) and EEAs. Load shedding may be needed under extreme peak demand and outage
scenarios studied.
It seems like there's enough disruption in this area already.
This is a disingenuous argument because you pretend like gold has no downsides. The major, and very real downside of gold is that it's costly to store. The risk of confiscation is high unless you protect yourself with weapons. (And, in that case, doesn't that make weapons more valuable?)

> Some porn stars say they will quite easily make informed decisions in that situation. But I think that is the minority...

This seems to be a common trope. The poor porn actress didn't know what was going to happen.... In the real world while some producers are complete scum they are not the majority and the outright criminal ones end up in jail (See GirlsDoPorn) .

Most porn stars have agents looking out for their interests at least partially. Look on something like iafd.com and you can see that the major studios have people returning year after for shoots.

While the work might seem horrible it is the choice of the people involved who have made decisions appropriate for THEM. Working for a full month at minimum wage vs 1 week a month for vastly more money etc.
> maintained its peg through a 94% drop in the ETH price over the course of 2018, despite being backed only by ETH at the time

That was a different market. We’ve experimented this with currency boards. Holding reserves in anything but your anchor currency is asking for trouble. Making public what your reserves are invites specific arbitrages.

The added fun with crypto is that the monetary base of ETH is tiny compared to most reserve currencies. So the instability point for DAI is far smaller, in terms of triggering a fire sale, than for a real currency board.

Side note: I guess we’re about 15 years out from 2008, the minimum term for a generational divide, and so I shouldn’t be surprised about people saying 150% collateral is pretty much safe again. Mortgages then. Ether now. Russian bonds before.

An export ban would place the maximum American crude price at about $70/barrel, since that's a little bit above the shale breakeven price. Prices would tank overnight. There is no conceivable scenario where an export ban would not substantially cut oil prices.

Maybe we won't see $2/gallon again, but $6+/gallon would be a thing of the past.
> You can have the backend render partials and only send the affected part. This has been widely in use and battle-tested for about two decades in .NET WebForms, PJAX, Rails Turbolinks and other technologies.

No, rendering partials is not a solution once you have a moderately complex app.

Example: The user submits a form to change an entity, you need to send a partial back for the successfully submitted form, but you also need to send partials back for potential 2-3 other places that the entity is displayed on the page, even if they are not displayed on certain pages.

Just tracking and updating them whenever they change is a pain in the ass, not to mention the increased processing/bandwidth for no reason.
> US, China and Russia project this image of great power but they can hardly project it, as evidenced most recently in Ukraine.

The US can bomb any country to pieces if it wants, they have shown that in Iraq and Afghanistan. Russia can bomb a country to pieces (e.g. Syria) or massively impede any sort of progress (e.g. Libya). I wouldn't underestimate the UK and France either, both are nuclear powers and have sizable navies. Projecting power is not an issue at all for them, their weakness is nation building which is why Bosnia is on the verge of collapse, Afghanistan back into a hellhole and Iraq not too much better.

The wild card is China, they haven't done anything more than a couple of border fights with India and silently taken over Hong Kong so it's completely unknown how good their firepower and training actually is.

In any case, being "independent" doesn't really work either - if your resources are of interest to a major power, you will get fucked over eventually. Yugoslavia broke apart and most of its former parts allied with the EU/NATO, Cuba is deeply held back by US sanctions (which in my opinion should have gone years ago). Even the Swiss, the world's most prominent neutral nations, had to cave under US and EU pressure to open up their bank books. And now Ukraine, which was agreed to by both the NATO and Russia to stay neutral, was invaded by Russia on a pretext.
> Go picked the concurrency ideas of Erlang but then ignored the main safeguard that makes Erlang's concurrency fearless: Immutability.

Not even immutability, isolation.

Though obviously immutability makes things less weird, the real gain in terms of concurrency is that you can’t touch any data other than your own (process’s), and for the most part erlang doesn’t “cheat” either: aside from binaries, terms are actually copied over when sent, each process having its own heap.

Sequential erlang could be a procedural language based around mutability and it wouldn’t much alter its reliability guarantees (assuming binaries remain immutable, or become COW).
Second, the chances of these musicians not being spies is extremely low, we're talking of an anti-ussr operation

So there is no evidence. It's as absurd to call these people spies as it is to call Soviet dissidents and refuseniks of the time spies or western agents or mentally ill - that was the framing of the regime. It's absurd to take it up 40 years later. These were people who wanted to leave and other people who wanted to help them, not an 'anti-soviet operation'. A central premise of a great deal of late-Soviet resistance was essentially scrupulous adherence to Soviet law and international commitments the Soviets themselves made but did not, in practice, adhere to at all.
I think the this actually the best argument for some form of legalization, but given the amount of crime committed by drug users/abusers (not including drug trade related crime) the number in the US is comparable.

If people who use/abuse drugs only say on their couch and ate Doritos fine. But they cause (fatal) car crashes, violently rob and assault people, abuse their spouses and children, and commit homicide.

If ~1/3rd of offenses are committed under the influence that implies ~5k murders a year or ~78k since 2006 (admittedly I have no idea how many of those murders would have happened if the person was sober, but it’s worth noting the magnitude)

> but seems so bloated and complex I don't want to install it

I don't use thunderbird currently, but have for /very/ short amounts of time in the past. What seems bloated about it? For reading and writing e-mail it worked fine and other features seemed to stay out of the way in menus I didn't need to use.
I'm continually creeped out by all the PR sugarcoating on what essentially are simple notices of acquisition. So all this is in effect saying is that K9 got acquired by Mozilla and will be integrated into the suite of Mozilla products.

The justification given in the post is just non-information, because you could say this for almost any pair of software products if you define the terms fuzzily enough:

> The Thunderbird team had many discussions on how we might provide a great mobile experience for our users. In the end, we didn’t want to duplicate effort if we could combine forces with an existing open-source project that shared our values. Over years of discussing ways K-9 and Thunderbird could collaborate, we decided it would best serve our users to work together.

I don't want to say this is bad for K9, bit I still wonder what will happen to existing K9 installs.

If you install Android app X and, due to an acquisition, the app suddenly morphs into app Y which has a different branding, different UI, different features, a different backend and a different development team (but still has your data), isn't this exactly one of the things that the app store rules are supposed to protect against?
> Just change the zoning and then let people choose what they will

But, we already know from the political fortunes of people who have run on those ideas, what they will choose is to replace the people implementing those policies, unless you do a lot of work in advance to convince them of the merits rather than thinking you can just dictatorially change incentives and let that shape behavior without any blowback that undoes the policy.
Expert witness testimony, at least in this case, isn't about evidence.

It's a person, nominally an expert, saying what they think/know and providing some expert-y looking handwaving to back it up.

You've got two choices (at least) as an attorney for the opposing party: one, get into a domain turf war with the "expert" about whether what they've said is correct; two, discount the "expert" personally.

The problem with the first approach is that (at least in the case I was describing), there was nothing actually wrong with what the expert witness had said. If it actually was the case that the defendant had infringed on some validly held patents, then the expert's damages estimate was probably pretty accurate. The dilemma is that the defendant's whole case is based on having not infringed and/or the patents being invalid.

Consequently, there's zero motivation to get into the details of what the expert said, and every motivation to do something to as much as possible erase it from the minds of the jury.
Wouldn't those things be the same for people that have very frequent sex? What's distant on the physiological side between porn and sex? I'm sure you don't want to outlaw the latter?

> - Researchers have found that repeated porn use "wears out" the dopamine reward system in the brain.

For example some couples also lose interest in sex after several years and this is a cause for partners to start looking for affairs. It's the same effect.

> - A German study shows that some porn users become dependent on new, surprising, or more extreme porn to get aroused.

So? As long as it's not illegal, perhaps they will discover something that they get satisfaction from in real life too (e.g. S&M)

> - Some men report that their level of concentration and emotional well-being have been negatively affected by porn use.

Possible but not something the state should get caught up in. We don't live in a nanny state.

Also, none of these effects are serious enough on a societal level to justify banning it IMO.
(paraphrasing from Twitter) It means they have to let the mafia pull out their money first so that no one ends up murdered. Then they'll let the normal folks withdraw.
real crypto works just fine for millions. it is not problem of crypto that there are people falling for ponzis (not refering to Binance now). also, even quality of cefi exchanges like binance, coinbase, kraken, bitfinex has been outstanding in recent years so really, not sure what are we even talking about here. you get much more often blocked by credit card company or bank because of suspicious nonsense they dont explain.
If Binance goes down, I am seriously scared for every exchange.
no it's not your gold technically - but the law gives you the ownership, because the bank is only a custodial owner.

For cryptos, the law doesn't make this promise for you, and even if they do, crypto being mathematically secure, the courts can't just declare an outcome that cannot be achieved in reality.
Some ethics board out there looked at this proposal and thought "well, that looks fine to me!". That thought is almost as horrifying as the torture these scientists visited upon these defenseless mice.
there will always be some method of exchange. one exchange goes down, another will take its place.
At this point there's no reasoning with people on gun control. It's an emotional thing. I want no more infringement period. Handguns at 21 was over the line. From here on out, I hope to see more Wacos until people understand that the 2A is not to be tested.
If those were the only criteria, making friends would be easy. People have more built-in tribalism at the very least; the article reads like a '50s science fiction novel about robots making friends.
It means they've run out of money.
Assessing taxes in currency X does not give it value if those taxes can be paid in currency Y. It does not create any demand for it, unlike in the scenario where the taxes must be paid in it.

> Once it's there, sure. But what about the time it took to create it in the first place? Maybe there's a team of 50 people working on something for a couple of years? They like to get paid for their work. Look at this from the other side: if nobody would be paying those people, there's would probably be no software!

Most programmers work for a wage. They don't own the software they write - their employer does. Whether or not their employer is rent-seeking does not affect a programmer's income.

> Except of those 50 people who never got paid for their work.

Why wouldn't they be paid for their work? What if my friend paid a person or two (not 50) to write the software for him? "Free software" doesn't mean "made for zero price" - it means "without artificial restrictions".

> Yes, people want to get paid for their work. If you don't want to pay, it's a status quo for you - there are alternatives. And here's a question for you: if there aren't alternatives, ask yourself "why are there no alternatives?" Is it that nobody is interested in building those alternatives for free?

I don't understand this question. There are many alternatives to common proprietary software, and the number of alternatives gets higher with each day.

You seem to be stuck on the argument that "without proprietary software, programmers will not get paid". That is completely untrue - most programmers work for wages, and they don't own the software they write. From their perspective, whether or not the software is free or proprietary, they get paid the same.
