* The FTC is the US Federal Agency here, edit, my armchair error

* FTC rules review will discuss ... more reading on the agenda here

* a post (above) claims that this is a "national security issue" as in, bad foreign agents might track citizens here

* But wait, actual national security is held in trust with the Federal Government, and has provably failed to protect itself against serious compromise, as mentioned in my reply

* But wait again, US citizens are getting no reprieve in being relentlessly tracked for "ads" while some claim there is a national security issue so it is important that we engage in this feedback

* Where is the accountability in Federal Government for real, actual National Security? and why are citizens being tracked doing daily things, in the first place?

A lot of the negativity comes from the fact that Adam Neumann is involved. He's incredibly dishonest and a borderline scam artist. He set fire to billions and came out incredibly wealthy. You may not care about the people he took money from, but what he did was still wrong.

Another point is that there is no concrete business or idea. The memo at least doesn't explain the actual business. It's vaporware. There are thousands of people with track records that want to open real cashflow businesses and can't get funding. And then there's someone like this that can manifest billion dollar companies with an idea. It just strikes them as unfair.
I find all the gandi recommendations interesting. Issues with Gandi canceling my friend's registration with no warning pushed me to choose namecheap. Which has been problematic for some people as well, from the sound of it.
The reason (or a reason, at least) we have poor implementations, though, is that the protocol stack is so incredibly complicated.

> The only way to get a good native experience, is to write native apps, using the native Toolkit.

Hey - I'd love it if companies would do that too. But in the mean time... I'm not enough of an ass to throw away the solutions that work.

That said - Webex is not an electron app (Appears to be QT...). Teams is terrible by itself (no electron needed). Other apps do just fine... So I'm not sure what it is you think you're comparing.

Slack/Discord/Etcher are all electron, and frankly they work fine (etcher is even nice).

So between "You're on linux and we don't support that" vs "Here's a working app with company support (electron based)"... I know which I'd pick.
People need to learn the BLUF form of email.

Further - management, who demands KPIs/dashboards/etc, should learn to actually use them rather than pinging people for status.

The other death loop I've gotten in with new(er) managers is that they want "a weekly status report" and are very (VERY) fussy about the content, however they 1) never show you an example "good" one (assuming they must send one to their manager.. or not?) and 2) just iterate painfully over months&months where the only feedback is re: more tweaks to the format of the report (mostly in the negative form of dislike, rather than pointing in the direction of what they want)

Usually this incentivizes me to send fewer and terser status reports & focus on delivery.
If no report format is ever good enough.. why waste time on it vs just getting tasks done that will make users happy... which is ultimately what drives compensation in the mid/long term.

I think you'd have to elaborate on what you think a good school is and what a good climate is. It certainly gets cold for part of the year in PA and MD. It can be quite humid in the summers too. I've heard it can be tough to find a "good" public school in parts of SC (I looked at some SC and NC schools when I entertained the idea of moving there a decade ago. The scores were considerably lower than most MD and most PA were).
I only have 2 addresses that receive spam:

1- An address I used for buying an RPi from a french retailer (kubii.fr) which seems to have had a data breach

2- An address I used at Decathlon when I signed up for 4x payment plan. They seem to share the address you use with Sofinco which keeps spamming me even after unsubscribing.
This is a bit of a meta-answer... many years ago I saw that I was not very good at writing error handling code for my scripts, so I (mostly) switched to this:

that lets me execute my scripts line by line very easily.
Re your first point. This was always true. The cdc has always had a page listing incidents from vaccines. They’re just EXCEEDINGLY rare, much rarer than bad health outcomes from covid. If your point #2 was true at ALL there would have to have been millions hospitalized from the vaccine… and we all know that’s not true.

Covid has BECOME a disease that primarily effects the elderly and immunocompromised. That was due to the huge vaccination efforts, and mutations in the disease.

Either way, I’m still wearing a mask when I go grocery shopping because I don’t want to be the one who gives covid to someone’s grandma, or someone doing chemotherapy.
>"There is no shortage of pasturage to site solar in."

I don't believe you are taking into account just how much location and transmission distance matters for such projects.
That was my argument above. It's something Adam Smith didn't realize: Capitalism optimizes to discomfort.

Over the decades, airlines have found more ways to put more seats in the same space, more ways to optimize a full plane even if it means more people are bumped, etc. They've made more money but it has also made flying a much poorer experience. Not patently horrible, but not comfortable either.
I'm upvoting for the acronym.
They're a little pricey for just DNS, which makes me wonder how much they charge for domain registration. It'd be nice if they gave pricing on their web site.
it’s just so device-specific. My JBL speaker, aftershokz bone conducting headphones, and iPhone all play nicely and I don’t have any problems. My Windows machines consistently have problems with bluetooth, but poor quality is a standard of the Windows experience so it doesn’t surprise me. My Sony stereo receiver is always a nightmare to pair.

Honestly the JBL Charge speaker has the best and simplest solution to this: it just lets two devices pair to it simultaneously.
I too do this, yet I occasionally receive evidence that my address was sold or stolen. I've confronted one company about the problem, and they outright denied that they had any part in it.
Social Network but Only for Articles
I found this post on Reddit that I think would be a cool idea. It'd be like instagram I think where you have a feed but instead of posting photos or videos, you upload articles that you've been reading and that you want to share with your audience.

So for example, someone like Paul Graham posting articles he found interesting to his followers. I feel like that would be cool and it would give a refreshing vibe from all the visual stuff happening. What do you think?
Ohhhh that's lovely
Better efficiency, in dollars per watt, is always good.

Pretending there is some sort of shortage of land to site solar in is not a valid reason to court efficiency. There are other, legitimate reasons.
> You seem to insist on misunderstanding what I write. Not sure where you got that.

I got it from this, that you wrote

My impression was that constant growth is the normal state of nature, not a malady

Your impression is wrong, constant growth is not the normal state of nature.

The normal state of nature is equilibrium.

Nature constantly moves towards maximum entropy.

> To clarify, the "species" in question are corporations, collectives, and/or any organized entity made by humans

See the problem?

Nature metaphors fall short every time one uses them to describe modern human society and its complexity.

In what you call "the ecosystem of human economic activity" all people coexist peacefully and none of them is the prayer or the prey, none of them is the sheep or the wolf, all of them have personalities and express different behaviors in different circumstances, sometimes they aren't even coherent, because they are people and not metaphors of the wildlife at large.

You'll never see a wolf help a sheep in need, a wolf will always be a wolf, a sheep always a sheep, a shark always a shark, while it's common among people to help each other, even for individuals who have the "predator" (with a thousand quotes around it) traits at work or when playing professional sports.

We are not organized in the same way nature is self organized.

At all.

We are very far from it, not because we are not part of nature, but because we don't have to follow its rules anymore.

The only rule we should follow and we constantly don't and end up in deep, scary, probably irreversible crisis is that "constant growth" means total depletion of the resources, which in turn means human civilization as we know it will disappear.
Yes, Rust in keeping with its aesthetic resolves the "probably" in the most pessimistic direction, and requires you to explicitly say how you want to handle the potential for non-utf8.
I don't know if this is quite the model the article describes, but I say this is at least a similar and equally useful model.
I might even still have my ThinkOutside lying around somewhere, but the keys were getting a bit sticky for some reason. There is something about that market that I'm obviously missing, because I'm astounded that no one has cloned the thing. Though I don't have the use case for one that I used to, I'd still spend the money again. It is such a cool little device, I'd find something to do with it.

I don’t remember this study this way. As I recall the study about “The Mandela Effect” was studying the effect Nelson Mandela had on a racially divided nation with deep social trauma. It was an interesting circumstance and was researched heavily.
Perhaps certification is the solution then. You can't sell Bluetooth unless it's been certified.
Ever used ack?
> I'd strongly suggest having a direct comparison vs. tRPC page in the documentation

Yes, it's coming.

Yes, but we do have a bit more work to clean up our internal package dependencies and APIs so that this works.
A book I just finished that explains this quite well is Thinking in Systems: A Primer.

It touches on systems, modeling, nonlinearilites, etc.

I saw someone suggest another book on economics. Are there any other books people recommend for systems and multi-order thinking?
The problem is that Neumann walked away with an absolute fortune, leaving investors and much more importantly employees holding the bag. He operated with what could charitably described as accounting methods of questionable ethics.

If this investment has some term that makes it so Neumann does not personally see one penny of this money unless the company is wildly successful and everyone else involved gets paid first, maybe it'd be worth considering. Instead, there is a very likely outcome here where he takes home tens to hundreds of millions while once again doing nothing of actual substance to change the market.

Basically, he's a huckster who enriched himself at the expense of others. People tend to root against people like that, and they don't like it when they're handed huge sums of money.
In my line of work I get asked about the future of books with some regularity. I've got a canned, slightly jokey response by this point, but one thing I point out is that the UI of a book is really very good. Part of it is that we've got a lifetime of experience interacting with it from a very young age, but books can be browsed easily, annotated, and scanned quickly. They have an excellent screen and are easy on the eyes and are quite responsive (generally slow load times in regular use). The search is lacking, but there are generally adequate workarounds for that.
If you don't like npm, try yarn or pnpm. Both are excellent alternatives.
If this was a business site and you had a service interruption you should absolutely sue them for damages.
If anything I found they notified too early, making it seem like you were about to lose all your stuff when there were months remaining until the renew date.
Exactly. At this point, it's not the protocol. It's devices with shitty implementations of the protocol.
When was the last time you saw a review that audited the Bluetooth implementation on a device? I couldn't even make that kind of purchasing decision if I wanted to.
TL;DR: Less regulations in Australia lead to solar systems being 1/3 the price of US solar systems. However, US solar systems tend to perform for 20+ years, whereas a significant number of Australian systems have "sharply" degraded performance after 5 years.

Checking the articles sources, apparently lots of installed panels in Australia stop working after ~5 years and the remaining functional panels decline in performance 12%.

This is an interesting trade off. Would I prefer a solar system that is 1/3 the cost but 1/4 the life in the US? I don't know. I think the average time spend in one home is around 7 years (don't quote me, I could be very wrong here), so it seems like each homeowner could install their own system and be fine. Cheaper systems also mean that more people could install them.

Not a policy expert, don't trust my thoughts.
> - there's no monetary award that makes the plaintiff whole.

> If I'm right, then I'd think that this issue with Google meets those criteria.

Wouldn't returning the purchase money or reversing the purchase of the phone make the plaintiff whole? Perhaps a competitor could complain that the unfulfilled promise was anti-competitive and disrupted their sales, but they could be made whole by money damages.
While of course this points to crypto's weaknesses, there are also elements of good old hedge fund skullduggery here too, especially since it was their secrecy about their leverage that drew in so many creditors (even their own employees!):

> Everyone in crypto, from the largest lenders to wealthy investors, seemed to have lent 3AC their digital coins, even 3AC’s own employees, who deposited their salaries with its “borrowing desk” in exchange for interest.

Many hedge funds and megabanks run huge trades in the dark and pile up leverage with virtually no oversight. Apparently the "London Whale" of 2012 was headed toward defaulting on trillions due to his habit for doubling down poker style.

One wonders if crypto is actually constraining contagion here to larger markets ...
That has already done that in the US.

Maybe if healthcare was sorted, all those profits not going into the system could go back into peoples pockets and there would be space for a little more tax to pay for welfare.

Give poor people money and they spend it, boosting the economy.
Seriously, no idea why anyone things this is a better option. Seems like more work, and if two packages export things with the same name you have to use aliases. Also, seems like this could get REALLY messy on large projects.

I LOVE TypeScript, and was so excited about Deno when I first saw it, but the lack of package.json "feature" is a huge turn off for me. I sometimes feel like I'm the only person that has no problem with package.json. I think it works great.
If by socrates you mean "the more i know the less i know", I think that's a different idea. I am curious about the "the more you know, the less you think you know, but actually you know quite a bit". An inverted dunning-kruger, sort of.

For anybody not familiar, WebFaction was “shared hosting for nerds”. The control panel gave you a lot more power than most shared hosts did, you had SSH access, and you could spin up servers for pretty much every web programming environment going with a couple clicks. When Godaddy bought them they transferred everybody onto bog-standard and much less flexible Godaddy shared hosting, and everybody who was using a less-common web stack was dropped.

I’m still cheesed about it, and more than a bit confused. Godaddy had and still doesn’t have any of the value prop that webfaction did. Godaddy didn’t integrate the WF technology or customer base in any meaningful way… so what was the point? Was it an aquihire?
I thought one of the goals of dtrace was to make the in-kernel code weak enough (for example by forbidden unrestricted looping) to make system administrators confident injecting code in the kernel was safe.

Aren’t “embedding web assembly into the kernel” and “mapping DLLs into the kernel” too dangerous to call this a dtrace reimplementation?

Technically not a skip, just finishing the last layer using one look (1LLL). A last layer skip in the CFOP method would be when the last layer ends up in the solved configuration as the first two layers (F2L) are finished.
First of all, congrats on launching a product. Without having ordered the book, here are my comments on your website:

The signup page asks me to enter an email address, and says it will send me a verification link that will allow me to log in. But in fact, no link is sent, no verification is performed, and I can easily log in with an email address that I don't control. I can't set a password without paying, so there's apparently nothing to stop anybody else from logging in as me.

It's hard to fully judge the study program, since only the first few lessons exist as anything other than placeholders. But after skimming through it, it seems like compared to other resources like Genki, the content is very heavy on kanji, somewhat light on grammar, and extremely light on vocabulary. Is there a reason for this?

Also, despite your description of the course as "beginner-friendly", it seems like the early pages have a mixture of beginner-level and more advanced information. I would expect beginners to have a hard time figuring out which parts are most immediately applicable -- especially since you give them very few examples of actual Japanese sentences that use the grammar points you're teaching. For example, I find it hard to believe that it's in any way useful to tell someone "the particle を can be used to describe motion transiting through a space" when they have never even seen a single real example of it being used in its much more common role as a case-marking particle. Basically, I get the overall impression that this course would be much more useful to a linguist who wants to study the language analytically, as opposed to a typical learner.

Finally, it would be good to see some information on the credentials of the authors. As you're probably aware, there are lots of mediocre, amateur-level Japanese language resources on the web, many of which are created by people who are either not fluent Japanese speakers or lack pedagogical/educational expertise. What evidence do you have that your teaching strategy is an improvement over other approaches?
Yeah, GD certainly killed the culture, quickly too. MT was a magical place to work before GD, thankfully most us benefitted to some degree with the GDDY IPO before promptly leaving.
I would have to disagree. To me "Instant Messaging" != "Instant Answering". It's only a guarantee that the message is delivered instantly.
I don't believe you can get a "mid-range" prebuilt for $500 that compares to one of the consoles in raw horse power. I don't think you could do it now, let alone over the past 2 years.

Certainly at launch of those consoles, there was no chance.
I disagree that consumers are to blame. Believe me, I would be willing to pay 50% more for my fridge if I could know for certain that it would last decades longer than another. It is incorrect to say that consumers have a choice between "high quality/long lasting" and "cheaper but dies sooner", and for multiple reasons!

1. An uneducated consumer cannot distinguish between the two. Both products will bear labels reading "Extremely high quality, we take pride in our work, energy efficient AND better quality than all our competitors!"

2. Brands and manufacturers are taking these shortcuts uniformly. So consumers can't simply rely on buying a machine of a certain brand.

3. These issues don't show up for (apparently) 13 years! Even IF a consumer identifies a brand with a strong evidence-based reputation for quality, that brand may have lowered standards sometime in the past 13 years and they would have no way of knowing.

It's not always about learning. One can get value from something without learning from something.

An example, I've tried to make a habit of listening to All Songs Considered from NPR. I'm not always in the best mood when I start, but "forcing" myself to listen on my regular schedule is good for me, my mental health, my day to day well being, and expands my musical universe. Maybe I don't really learn much, it doesn't apply to my work, but it's good for me. Making a habit of doing things that are good for you is good.
>Deno to easily import npm packages and make 80-90% of npm packages work in Deno within the next three months.

I get it, I understand it, but it is depressing to know that we're going to be dealing with horribly ridden legacy NPM code for the next 800 years.

A lot of the code on NPM is just bad. And now we're going to keep this legacy of just, bad JavaScript .

This is why I prefer dart and flutter for making mobile apps. Over react native.
