Which is interesting because the "stranger danger" panic was basically fueled by the media itself, as it sold well.

They could have been doing research into all the actual non-stranger cases of abuse that were going on but secret, but no, that doesn't sell as well.
I understood the OP's point, but even if the two sentences mean the same thing to a particular faith-based group, we should take care to not to take on and spread that group's biases.

Because the sentences absolutely are not the same.

And especially, and most importantly, they aren't the same to the affected people, whose interests the "faith-based groups" (and in one word — bigots) purport to protect.
I have an old Dell Laptop from 2010 (Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz) with 4GB of RAM that ran Windows 10 as a Plex Server for years. With Macs of that era, you could stick a Windows 10 DVD and install it without any issues.

Pre-Covid (2019), my mom was using my old 2006 era Mac Mini with 1.25 GB of RAM running Windows 7 when she use to tutor. It was good enough to run Chrome and access Google Docs.

A 2010 laptop isn’t “perfectly good”. If the only reason you needed to upgrade to a Mac that was running a supported operating system was because you needed more RAM, you could get money back by selling it. The resell value of a 2010 MacBook - or any other computer is practically nil.

Apples and oranges. You are comparing NASA spending to military expenditures (F-35, Afghanistan, Gulf War 1 & 2, or Reagan’s SDI program). In 2020 the US GDP was 20.94 trillion USD [1]. In the same year, NASA's budget was $22.6 billion [2], less than 0.11% of GDP, while US military spending was around 766.58 billion USD [3], roughly 3.66% of GDP. Other sources place US military spending 16%-21.9% of GDP from 1996 to 2015 [5].

In other words, NASA's budget was approximately 3% of the military budget (and maybe as little as 0.5%). NASA's budget has been less than 1% of the federal budget since 1975 [4].

Can you qualify that?
Are you confusing "free market" with "capitalism"? The former just means the government isn't meddling in the market by doing stuff by setting prices or quotas. It's "capitalism" that deals with ownership, but even that doesn't exclude public ownership because it only talks about private ownership of production.
Why would I need to do that?
As a product manager I appreciate this take. Lots of bureaucracy is caused by a few base requirements for compliance/governance required by laws or customer need. It’s a huge time suck for PM and engineering, but I don’t know if this is avoidable. Maybe more automated verification systems?
oh cool, it's now ready for bookmarking :)
> Btw., who is saying that books aren't biased? ;->

And that's why I specifically said three. If I read one, I won't have enough grasp of the subject to be able to identify any biases. If I read three, I probably will be able to sort out when one of the three is out in left field on something in particular.

As for your assertions about video, Amusing Ourselves to Death and The Shallows make well researched arguments that are exactly opposite what you're trying to argue here. You might read them.
Thank you, great context!
I’d replace mass hysteria with moments of clarity. Interest rates rising will motivate investors to purchase more bonds and limit the speculative tendencies that propped up the crypto marketplace.
> to perceive

Where does this "perceive" happen?
We might be talking past each other. I was reading "scam" in a general way, versus as a legal term of art indicating a crime had happened. When the OP said celebrities should be "held liable", I didn't read it to mean criminally liable, just, reputationally liable.

Health and wealth, in particular, are sensitive subjects that are often the source of scams. If I type into Google, "is crypto a", the top autosuggest hits include "a ponzi scheme", "a pyramid scheme", "a bubble", "a scam". Clearly some folks have some concerns. There are editorials in mass market papers discussing whether crypto is a scam, and have been for several years.

If a celebrity still wants to lend their name to such a project, that's their choice, of course. And they might well have a good faith rationale to do so. And perhaps crypto is not a scam! But... it still seems to me that it's a risky proposition, and it should be evident to them and their PR team that it's a risky proposition. If it goes poorly, which it seems like it is, it's reasonable that people will conclude that Matt Damon preferred to make a bunch of money at the risk of other people's financial wellbeing. (And that's fine, too -- fortune favours the bold, after all.)

I'm learning to sell everyday and I do have one or two books.. from the top of my head

1. Sell or be sold. People hate the author but regardless one thing i learned from this book is that you must beleive that what you're selling is the absolute best for your prospect and you're actually doing a service by recommending it to them. Then product can be your business you're selling to a customer, or yourself on a date, or a lesson to your kids but whatever it is you need to be fully convinced yourself that what you're offering is the best. Sometimes this means changing a few things about it but until you are convinced, others will seldom be.

2. Never split the difference. This is also a very good book with lots of different strategies about how using a cool dj voice, using a no instead of yes, etc. Some very practical tips you can use in negotiations and selling.

3. Shoe dogs or something by the founder of nike. Great book about how you break your comfort zone and learning to sell and how billionaires have the same problems as everyone else and how they solve it using leverage.

Definitely a lot of more books if you're interested that I've read recently that have helped me improve me to sell. But as each book will teach you the only real thing that can help you to sell is to just sell!
I tend to agree, but as someone who uses this plugin a LOT, I have some complaints.

If I decide I want, say, an Azure Portal container then I cannot have login.microsoftonline.com assigned to a different container -and- configured to automatically open in that container.

If I do that, I need to have a combined Azure + Office 365 + anything-I-need-to-authenticate-to-Azure-AD-for container.

It’s a good solution but with its lack of flexibility I find it’s too far in the direction of security versus convenience.

I love crypto but other than privacy coins the value proposition is low.

Hashes and wallets and private keys are too technically dense for the layperson to use who can just barely attach a document to an email.

Privacy is what Bitcoin originally build its market share on with the darknet markets.

That's really where the value lies in my opinion.

Now I could be totally wrong and I hope I am because it would be really cool to see some form of crypto as an legit alternative currency to USD.
It has to do with his quote about the Saudis while playing in their golf tourneys. Basically acknowledging all the bad things they are associated with and then shrugging his shoulders and taking the money.

I am not too happy with the direction macOS is moving towards, though I do understand Apple’s motivations and agree it is still better than Windows. For reference: been a Mac user ever since I was like 10 years old or so, starting with System 6.0.

I do feel some Linux or perhaps a BSD system with a GUI like WindowMaker might feel like an improvement at this point.

It’s something I will probably try in the coming year.

Yes, obviously, and that's called cherry picking data. This is talking about violent crime rates within city limits, a statistic that most people would agree with.
Hi Otras,

a few things to wrap this up for me, and thank you for your civil answer to a not so civil comment.

1st: I should have made this a 'yes and' rather than a 'no but' comment. It's a well written article with nice illustrations, and you put in the time to do so and share it with the world. Thank you for that!

2nd: Obviously you're right that it's possible to calculate the distance to plane by observing when it passes a certain point and then measuring the time until the sound hits you from that very point.

3rd: My smartassery still stands that "How far behind a plane is its noise?" is a misleading way to frame it - the noise is not behind the plane at all, it's actually significantly ahead of it. But (!), again, I should have made that a 'yes, and' instead, to add a facet to your nice article.

Cheers, and hope to read from you again!
Thanks for the info. I actually looked up their financial statements and it's a lot smaller operation than I would have guessed. Just 1.5B in revenue on their last filing. For reference to other American sports, that's just around 3 times the revenue for the Green Bay Packers alone.
Pretty safe to ignore any corporate statements by Ryanair.
I meant in terms of performance, but all those points are certainly true.
I'm using Giraffe. Building everything in the request pipeline as composable handlers has been nice.

For the front end, I have decided to do server-rendered pages, using Giraffe.ViewEngine. So the source for the HTML is all F# code too.

For interactivity and updates without a full page reload, I am using htmx. This has been so nice that I feel “done” with SPAs as the default choice for a web UI. 99% of the JS I need is encapsulated in a library. If I ever need more, I can just incrementally adopt Vue or something similar on a page that needs it and go from there.
When Mozilla comes out with a feature like this it usually whitelists google, microsoft and similar big sites so people can still log in across their network. Anybody know the current list for this feature?
An ass-clown engineering director/manager I had, proudly shared a chart – I guess it was from something related to the post - that at the current rate, everyone in the US will need to be a SWE at Amazon for it to continue to grow. I can't tell if that case is true or not and I don't remember the time frame, but I have a suspicion SWEs will instead have to work smarter with better tools and languages that effort "multipliers". x10 languages, and tools perhaps.
I don't know about you - but the "shelves" UI that current System Preferences uses is - hard to navigate. There's no real rhyme or reason for the shelf location.

At least the Ventura/iOS multiple menus has a hierarchy. Ultimately I use "search" for such large settings to find stuff like 90% the time.
From what I remember, before we had highly moderated/censored social monopolies we had a lot less spam and misinformation on the old forums and chat spaces.

I'd much rather be on HN, biggerpockets, or some auto forums than on twitter or facebook.

It makes my life harder as a developer. I've got some widgets (hosted by me) that are embedded on my customer's websites, and because of Safari I can't use cookies for things like a shopping cart. I have no need for the cookies to be accessible from another website, even if it's got the same widget embedded, so this implementation by Firefox fits my use case perfectly. Unfortunately that doesn't change what Safari does, so it doesn't help me.
I've seen both sides of this: a PIP for a person who was falling behind that wasn't possible for the person to achieve because they were in a role without the skills needed to succeed in that role, and a PIP that was based on one supervisor's bad opinion of a particular person that was easy to accomplish when put in place by a different supervisor.

Absolutely. If you can sell a $1000 item that costs $10 to make, you should deserve the profit. You paid a worker a fair wage (without coercion, otherwise that'd be slavery) and you solved an important problem for the customer. The problem for the customer was so severe that they couldn't find a solution and would pay you $1000. It was worth more to the customer than $1000 or they'd not pay for it. Through fair trade, you made value on customer side and on employee side. Doing anything else, like giving undeserved additional bonus to the employee is unjust and unfair. Or giving a discount to the customer would be unjust to yourself.

If the employee had anything to do with sales and marketing a $1000 thing, they should deserve a proportional cut. If they were simply emptying garbage cans in your office, then they should too get a fair and just wage that is proportional to the value they provide.

You could counter with unfair trade and I'd agree with you. Crony capitalism is not what I am referring to. Nor am I referring to anywhere coercion or force is used.
>If a polluter is polluting on your share of the shared sky you'll sue them into oblivion.

In what court?
Ah, got it, thanks! That explains why I was confused - I've never worked in a team where long-running branches were the norm.
the web was directly bolted on top of the classic client-server network model. there was no concept of a website, just a bunch of requests needed to render whatever the markup (and the dynamic scripting stuff) wanted.

the interaction of those is completely left as an exercise to the (standards) readers. initially only remote code execution was a problem (eg. cross-site scripting), then the usual cross-site request forgery problems. and sure, there was all the usual gimmicks with list of sites you probably visited because it was possible to fingerprint by CSS plus exploiting cache timings.

initially framesets were all the jazz. you got free hosting and the provider just put your stuff inside a FRAME and the ad went above in a different frame.

serious sites had money to pay for hosting and SSL certs. and even if someone stole some credit card numbers the solution was easy, just use paypal!

privacy was seen as something to think about only when someone asked you a/s/l (age, sex, location), so basically when interacting with other humans in chat rooms (or on forums).

...

of course slowly but surely software (more exactly the Internet) is eating the world. being online is the default. Alphabet, the 8th on the Fortune 500 list doesn't even have brick and mortar stores (oh well, there's one in NYC and during this year's Google I/O they announced the second, also in NYC).

> If you need multi-pathed error handling (usually people don't and are just making it out of habit!), worry about what things can do, not what they are.

When I'm looking at an error, it's typically for one of two reasons:

1. To set a correct status code, such as http 5xx (internal server error, our disk flaked) or a 4xx (user error, you gave us invalid input).

2. To provide a better error message, such as to localize it into an error string.

If you're building CLI tools for yourself, sure, every error is fatal and you can read english so you don't need either of those. For most go projects, both of those are relevant concerns for a large number of error paths.

Go's type-system does not help you at all.

Speaking of...

> Well, it's structural, so you don't need other packages to implement an interface rather you need them to accept an interface. That also makes it clear it's a bigger ask - you're not asking a dependency "please also do X" but instead asking "please never need to more than Y".

Yup. That is a big problem. That's the root of the error problem too, where every package returns the stdlib error interface, which is a tiny subset of what you usually want.

FWIW, GL supports a lot of social auth providers, including GitHub: https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in/ (you may have to open that in an incognito window to see the login choices, but there are 5 of them currently)

That's in contrast to https://github.com/login which is "GitHub or GFYS"
An absolutely incredible achievement. Though to clarify - this is not Quake running on Game Boy, but rather a custom engine hand-written in assembly that can run Quake levels (or, I think, just the first level anyways). Which, in my mind, is even more impressive.
True, it also comes from the algorithmic feed.

The "echo chamber" is a made up thing. We've always mostly socialized with people close to us. What makes it toxic is the existence of reward systems that specifically target the most outrageous statements because we need to goose those enragement numbers.

Misinformation gets pushed because it generates clicks. As a result, it floats up in everybody's stream. More eyeballs -> more clicks -> more visibility -> more eyeballs.

Will there be small groups that traffic in misinfo? Yes, absolutely - but the large scale impact is gone once you remove the ability to artificially boost visibility.
It’s also funny that all F1 teams have crypto sponsors and half the tracks are sponsored by crypto.com this year.

My best friend is an architect in Ft. Lauderdale and has been doing a very high end golf course club houses. Jack Nicklaus is like a god there and the stories and stuff my friend designs is comedy gold. Secret tunnels to sneak in guests ( callgirls) , doorways that only Jack can use, and tons of other stuff. The kicker, it's all for very elderly citizens which makes it even more surreal and funny.

my buddy is pretty far left leaning and some of the stuff he's tasked with designing really blows his mind heh. ...probably why he smokes so much.
I wouldn't call it official, it's a side project run by the community. 'Official' would be something created and supported by Canonical. It's a moot point though since you get the exact same thing by installing Ubuntu without a gui and then doing 'apt install plasma-desktop'.
I'd readily give up the spam-free and misinformation-free networks of Facebook and Twitter for a moderator who knows what satire is, doesn't get nudes and dunes confused, and can generally parse context.

Private communities tend to have less of all of that, unless maybe you're building them with the worst of humanity, in which case I guess it's good that Facebook is there to keep you and your friends from doing Everything Bad. Yikes.

Out of curiosity: what level of AI or human-driven moderation would it take to prevent you from linking your own site to, let's say, a Hitler Fan Club page? Is that something you feel you might do by accident without Facebook there to tell you that is Bad?

Or, say a random site said it's Good to drink bleach - would a browser extension be sufficient to prevent you from linking to them, or would it require an actual human like Keegan-Michael Key to show up and slap the mouse out of your hand and explain to you in-person that this is Stupid and Bad and Dumb?

I fear for people who rely on Twitter Safety to keep them from doing a Big Dumb.
I’ve mentioned this several times before but the risk calculation here is balancing between $EXCHANGE preventing withdrawals or forgetting your seed phrase, having your wallet hacked, or some other user error.

It would be interesting to somehow compare funds lost in exchange hacks/insolvency/etc and funds lost forever due to users attempting to manage their own wallets.

In both cases you’re risking losing everything.
> It's kind of refreshing to see something that hasn't passed through a public relations filter.

It's one thing if the owner of a local bar thinks it a good idea to throw around swear words and being edgy in general. Might bring him some new business, might lose him some old business.

But owners of companies worth dozens of billions of dollars? They might want to rein in their executives a bit. Unprofessionalism always reflects back on the institution, even if Elon Musk and to a lesser degree Jeff Bezos (=we don't need to make a profit or pay out dividends) have proven themselves to be the exception to the rule.
