What will they invent to take more money from us?

Interesting how companies invent new ways to take our money as consumers and also invent new ways to pay us less money as employees.

I won't give my money to them.
Most of that is software glue, and not particularly challenging. It's necessary to run a modern company to have this kind of glue to connect systems together, but at the same time EE and ChemE are much more challenging.
This will only work until Google starts mandating TEE attestation of bootloader status for SafetyNet.
Beyond the HTML web, are there any practical examples of "actual REST" that we can look at?
I agree with you about the debate within a debate thing. It's genuinely hard to have a conversation about late-term abortion law in the current US context, where the really important laws being made are criminalizing abortions at the very earliest stages, and even possibly some forms of pre-implantation birth control.

But I also think it's helpful to cede some ground to the moderate pro-lifers. If we can acknowledge that 32 week fetuses are empathetically "infants in a difficult locale", to me it's clear that there is some legal burden there. I don't think the opinion of one woman and that of any one doctor she can find willing to agree with her are sufficient grounds for killing a fetus at that stage. Not all people make good choices, and thinking things deserve protection from bad choices.

I'll also add that the criminalization of late-term abortions rests heavily on

1. Guaranteed access to early-term abortions regardless of circumstances

2. Mid-term abortions under specific circumstances.

3. Affirmative defense for late-term abortion given even narrower circumstances, i.e. bodily risk to mother.

With those guarantees, and only with those guarantees, I think the argument can be made that a mother with a late-term pregnancy has willingly undertaken the responsibility to carry that pregnancy to term, and therefor aborting that late-term pregnancy may be treated similarly to a parent harming an infant. But I'll reiterate: only with those guarnatees. And, of course, lots of places don't have those guarnatees right now, which is why this is a "debate within a debate", as you say. And this is the smaller and less impactful of the debates.

Which does indeed highlight many other companies that have taken legal action against their reviewers.
It is mainly a resource problem. Didgets is a small startup with limited resources. We are having an open beta to try and draw some interest and gain some traction in the market. I have actually built and tested it on Linux before, but I just don't have the bandwidth to do that with every build for various Linux distros.
tl;dr: bias

I think the problem is that there is an obvious incentive for the author to achieve research findings that support their enterprise, and ignore the facts that are contrary. It's an opening for corruption/conflict-of-interest.

That's not to say that it's not possible that they are both correct in their findings and able to make money off it, but it does reduce their credibility.

Who's advice do you take more seriously, the guy with a horse in the race, or the guy without?

I can imagine the following happens at trial:

1: Musk's team provides evidence that 18% of users are bots

2: TWTR's stock drops the next day

3: Musk argues that the drop in the stock value demonstrates just how material his team's revelation/accusation is, suggesting that the misstatement was material

4: TWTR argues that the stock dropped not because of any material misstatement, but simply because it changes shareholders' estimates of the likelihood of a settlement that is favorable to either party
Someone shares their Netflix with me, the only thing I watched in last 3 months was Jackass 4.5. If I browse, everything there is B or C class content. If I lose access, I lost nothing
There's actually a little something here, but the blog loses it by being way too loose with "expectation".

The interesting thing, which is confused by the blog, is that "expectation" is not that same thing as "expectation of log". The "expectation of log" is a simple and effective way to adjust for risk, so trading off between these two can be useful.

In the simple betting case, you're multiplying your money by {e^k, e^-k}. In this case, k≈0.4, so you end up with

Y = P * {0.66, 1.50}

This has expectation of `1.08 * P`, and it has an expectation-of-log of `log P`.

In the rebalancing case, you're multiplying your money by (1 + {e^k, e^-k})/2. You end up with

Z = P * {0.83, 1.25}

This has an expectation of `1.04 * P`, and it has an expectation-of-log of `log P + 0.0204`.

So you actually have a smaller expectation, but a larger expectation-of-log.

This could be helpful, depending on your goals, because it is a simple way to describe how "risky" the strategy is. For example, after 5 rounds of this, the first strategy has a median value of +8.5%, while the second strategy has a median of +13%. On the other hand, on average the first strategy has grown +49% while the second has grown only +23%.

Yes but it's also important that you educate as many students as you can to some baseline level of competence so we don't devolve into Idiocracy.

Finding the balance of lifting the tide for everyone while giving the most highly motivated/talented the support they need is the tricky part. This guy figured out the latter but the article doesn't say anything about if he knows anything about the former.
An example where I have wanted this many times before it existed is in something like:

while (n := s.read(buffer)) != 0:

#do something with first n bytes of buffer

Without the walrus operator you either have to duplicate the read operation before the loop and at the end of the loop, or use while True with a break if n is zero. Both of which are ugly IMO.

Good managers write good
The problem is trying to monetize something new and unproven by claiming some kind of significant virtue.

Charging money to provide value under conditions where it's a proven and known means to add value is not controversial. But merely virtue signaling on something you can't prove is a common tactic of con artists.

See: Theranos, for example.

I agree but as a developer I have zero clue how to come up with useful ideas that haven't been done a hundred times over. And I have had zero success trying to find a platform for freelancers where you don't have to compete with less experienced third world coders underbidding everyone (and the customers always seem to pick them anyway).
Supply & Demand (aka Market Economics) dictates pay rate.

Not difficulty, danger, or years spent studying challenging topics.

Changing a color... that's basic html/css-- that's the lowest pay rung of front end developers, which is the lowest paid occupational field within the occupation of full stack web app engineers. So, you're grossly exaggerating. People who just change colors of a web site might make $15-20/hr in the US.

The folks making $150-$200k+ have skills in frontend development, serverside development, databases, plus often things like data engineering or setting up/maintaining cloud computing infrastructure. From there, add in specialty Security knowledge or Machine Learning or highly efficient massively global scale+speed programs, and you'll begin to understand how they're making $400k-$600k+

For example: Go have a look at kubernetes (combined with Docker, Helm, and a Cloud provider + all the various underlying technologies which involve an OS and 2+ programming languages and/or frameworks) and tell me how difficult it is compared to machining + CNCing + welding a metal part. Not to knock machinists-- I've worked on metal machines and I understand why master mechanics make $100k/year.

But I also see why they don't make $200k/year (exception for luxury vehicles)-- there's only so much to learn and only so many dimensions of complexity, especially in terms of continuing education on new technology.

All this other stuff is, by current calculations, sub optimal. So all this other stuff would likely add to less than current GDP. And since current GDP has been replaced by 10's of dollars, total GDP would likely be much lower.

But, if your point is that it's not clear then yes, but that's my point.
Ability is separate from legality. Make it illegal and it will doubtless continue, but it will be a risk for those doing it and they can be punished if uncovered. If it could be tied to politicians they might again tighten the rules.

Far more satisfying than finding out your data is being siphoned and your complaints are met with a shrug and a chuckle.
I'm guessing most they have is email address and IP?
Yes, it's hard to predict. Efficiency may or may not add to GDP. Which does point to how stupid it is.

I know there's volatility in voting, but the tone of discussion and vote patterns early in these discussions do not look at all like what happens later. It seems to happen repeatedly on topics of vaccines: thoughtful pro-vax stuff gets downvoted/gray.

There's one thing I particularly disagree with: I do not think labelling a user that posts large piles of anti-vaccine content as "antivax" is ad-hom.

I ran a network of OS/2 machines circa 1995 or 96, for a library system where the book tracking app would only run on OS/2. Client/server was the new hotness, and OS/2's TCP/IP networking and stability was streets ahead of Windows at that time.

Unfortunately it was too little, too late. By the time NT 3.51 came along, the game was over.

Sincere question: what new steps would you recommend they take?

The iOS location request prompt uses very clear language while allowing for granular access, and the granted permissions are easily reviewed in Settings.

The App Store requires data usage disclosures, which are presented about as succinctly as possible.

They could mandate that apps share absolutely no location data with any third party, but that would break all sorts of things (external mapping APIs, for example), and it’d basically be impossible to police.

Are there mitigations they could provide that I’m missing?
WSL, starting with v2, is a fully fledged virtual machine, and comes with its own built in Linux kernel. The 'lightweight' part is because resource allocation is bit more dynamic than your usual VirtalBox VM. Other than that, there is no difference.

Start with a small market and expand from there. When I worked on online services for a FAANG we would regularly roll out new features to large markets to test before going global. Brazil was always a great option to get a lot of folks and good feedback.
Toasters are probably not a great example, but concept art is a big deal in most product development / creative industries. Tech, cars, Hollywood, fashion, anime, etc.

The process usually involves finding and hiring an artist and working with them as they create lots and lots of designs until you find one you like, and then more sketches until the design is refined. So you either need to have a significant amount of money to hire artists for an extended project, or the artistic ability to do it yourself.

Using DALL-E instead, you get 4 high quality images in 20 seconds. If you don't like what it comes up with, you adjust your prompt, add more detailed instructions, and keep experimenting. And anyone can do this, regardless of artistic ability, and it's free (at least for now).
This is a lesson, but I think we've come to this point because it practically doesn't matter that much.

For instance I can't think of any document or design discussion I wrote in the past 10 years that would still matter today. Either the system is still somewhat live and running, and it's probably too far away from the original design for these docs to matter, or it's dead and buried, the company potentially not existing anymore.

In a way, actual permanentness is overrated for many many applications.

Now, people would be more sensible to disruptions of the current business, but arguably services like Slack or JIRA have a better track record than home made internally managed systems.

One Ikarian in particular, Stamatis Moraitis, moved to America when he was 22 years old to pursue the American dream. He was a painter, and immediately started having success, bought a house, married, and had 3 kids. At the age of 66 years, he developed terminal lung cancer. Instead of dying in America, he decided to move back to Ikaria and moved in with his parents. He started breathing the air, drinking the wine, and eating a Mediterranean diet. After a few months, he planted a garden not planning on ever getting to harvest the vegetables; 37 years later he has a vineyard producing 200 L of wine a year. His secret he says? “I just forgot to die.”

This is where I think the article loses its credibility significantly.

>an actual mobile security expert publicly said they did not have very high confidence in their own ability to cleanly buy and use a burner if the stakes were high eg government actively trying to build a case against them.

I'm not sure what the threat model here is. If the "government actively trying to build a case against them" involves government agents following you in unmarked vans, then the government being able to track you through your SIM should be the least of your worries. If you're merely on some government watchlist (ie. there aren't agents following you), I don't see how it would be hard to cleanly buy a burner phone/sim, especially in the post pandemic age where face masks are socially acceptable.
Technology took a turn unexpected by the creator. Developers utilize REST not for "REpresentaional" part, but for the constraints it enforces: client-server, uniform interface, stateless and others[1]

My buddy and I did it last year. I wouldn't say you need a whole team. We picked an area and spent a two years honing an idea. He is a retired Air Force officer and had some contracting experience from the other side. I have a PhD in an unrelated field (math), a handful of papers and one unsuccessful NSF attempt. He learned all the application rules and took care of 100% of that stuff. I formulated the technical proposal and work plan, wrote the budget and the bulk of the technical writing.

My partner reached out to a few small business development centers but, while they were very eager to help, we ultimately received only very minor feedback and a general thumbs up. I'd say in the two years it took us to hone a winning technical proposal, my partner was able to become somewhat of an expert in the rules. During that time we also applied for a non-SBIR government grant, unsuccessfully, where we lost a lot of points for being a 2-man team. If you're willing to put in the time, it's very doable to write an application which follows the rules.

In fact, I'd say one thing we ran into was finding ourselves "inventing" rules because we were overly cautious with our compliance to what we thought were the rules. The application truly is the most difficult part of compliance for a SBIR Phase I.

The problems with our Phase I were purely technical. We weren't able to advance the state-of-the-art enough to be able to write a convincing commercialization plan. And I don't think there was any consulting firm we could have hired to fix that problem.
If you really want to fall down the rabbit hole, NCommander did a thirteen-hour stream where he successfully (!!) installed OS/2 1.0 in a virtual machine (using PCem) and then upgraded, in-place, every single version after that, ending with OS/2 4.5. Sometimes the crazy custom color scheme migrated over, sometimes it didn't. Some early OS/2 apps worked after upgrading, but many of them didn't. The lengths he went through to make the upgrades work at all were beyond heroic and veered into the insane.

I think the workplace/company review aspect is how they market themselves, but really that’s just a small part of it. Companies are their customers, people interested in jobs are their product, so naturally they need to get as many people as possible to give them their personal information.

Edit: One of the “services” they provide is the ability to add your resume. Presumably that would provide some kind of job matching benefit, but I’m not familiar with it. But, that would be one source of users’ info.
