How do you define harm? I hope you have a straightforward answer.
They have way more fun doing it, though.
Softbank has been in my radar for 10 years.. I'm waiting for it to collapse and mark the beginning of a new bubble burst.
This is the dumbest conflict between two opposing parties that are equally-wrong-but-equally-dug-in that I've seen in a while.

Not everyone has NodeJS. And not everyone has Docker, either. You know what we all do have?

A Web browser. The World Wide Wruntime.

You know—it's the thing that you're using to look at the README on GitHub (and this comment, probably), and is the reason that JS and bookmarklets even exist in the first place. It's widely popular exactly for its ability to publish/share content and apps without any onerous install step. (It's pretty nifty. NodeJS programmers should really consider looking into it sometime.)

Build.app.htm. Double click and then drag and drop the project source tree onto the browser tab. Done.
Waiting for stories like "I was at company A, we relied on Google product X, and they pulled the plug and we went under. Then I moved to company B, which relied on Google product Y, and they pulled the plug. Then I moved to company C, which relies on Google product Z, and they're pulling the plug." (aka "serially killed by Google")
This was an amazing response, thx for putting it together.
This video explains it at multiple complexity levels, starting with the simplest explanation. Not sure whether you are looking for something more advanced.

Great point, probably most approaches break if the site is doing that.
Maybe half a percent? But very doubtful...
Did you see what they did to YouTube? It's now like watching the Superbowl. Ads ads ads. I guess they are trying to convert as many people as they can to premium. But I think it's also because they don't know how to grow their revenue besides displaying more and more ads.
Your product looks interesting but I'm curious why you have a "contact for pricing" for your AirGradient One, are you targeting B2B sales with that device?

I'm looking at your build kits which are pretty cool. I'd probably get the "PRO Pre-soldered" kit. Couple questions about them:

> PCB has slots for TVOC, pressure or other sensors (sensors not included)

Do you sell these sensors separately? or have recommendations on sensors you trust and work with this kit? Your AirGradient One comes with TVOC sensing built in so you definitely have something

> 24 months AirGradient data platform (or connect it to your own server, e.g. home assistant)

Can I use the device without connecting to a server?
How does Bitcoin defend itself non violently if it derives its energy from infrastructure that is being protected by the standing armies you complain about? Not to mention that the infrastructure was paid for in fiat currency.
I think it’s a tech company. They employ lots of software engineers who develop a software product which is their central business. Why do you think it is not a tech company?
I use brave browser for those sites. Alas, it is still chrome underneath...
> After watching ReviewTechUSAs video on it, another Developer working on a Stadia port explained that apparently Google Stadia was paying the Developers for the amount of Gameplay Stadia users played their game. So it was enough for them to decide it was worth the investment to focus on porting their game as they would be making a bare minimum.
No one is born knowing it all. People learn along the way, people change, people get greedy for a moment then have more time to relax once they've arrived to a comfy state, then reflect and either get more greedy or have enough head space to realize what they've done and regret. Granted, Rare are those who regret and what to do better, but yes, I can give credence to such sentiment.
What a great project, you absolute legend!
I’d encourage you to do the same.

Give concrete examples.
He owes them nothing, you're right. I made no claim that he does.

I'm saying he could have helped the situation, and he deliberately chose to not only avoid helping, but to hinder anyone at Microsoft who wanted to look at that code and contribute to Windows Terminal. That was a choice he made intentionally.

He could have taken the high road, there. He chose not to. It's his choice, don't get me wrong, he was well within his rights. I just disagree with that choice. that's why I call that a "dick move". And if you disagree with me, that's fine. "Dick move" means different things to different people at different times.

But could it be that the change in eye colour in children, ie blue to green/brown (and even hair colour), is itself an indication of poor health in some way, albeit that we assume it to be normal..?
The market isn’t the price of the vote, it’s the price to buy someone’s vote. That’s a race to the bottom.

Right now the cheapest option is a bot. A perfect anti-bot solution shifts this so that the cheapest option is the global poor.

Zoom out, is the problem is manipulation not bots. Bots are just the best weapon today. Does this new scheme present a sustainable solution to manipulation?

I don’t believe it does. over time, power and wealth will be more able to pay the per vote cost and raising it will disproportionately deny real peoples voice.

Looping back, this is why I asked if any of it was needed once we assume the presence of a working moderation scheme (which you credit as the protection today from vote buying).
There's no setting to set the new tab page in Chrome - not even in the policies json.
There are ads in the urlbar, ads on the newtab page, ads, ads, ads!

This is on desktop.
Yes, it's unfortunate that (thanks partly to SCOTUS) the Second Amendment doesn't come with prerequisites or confer responsibilities. Owning a gun should be a privilege like driving a car, IMO, not a right. Certainly not a Constitutional right.
It does not run well at 50mbps, you have artifacts all over the screen, it's unbearable. And as people are moving more towards 1440p or 4k monitors, it's even more untolerable.
No website I have worked for has ever called users the product. The products are what is being built by various teams. For ads the product at a high level is everything from the parts that show ads to users to the tools that allow advertisers to create ads.
It depends on what we want from our adults. And if we feel like we can demand some sort of contribution.

We got to a point where we can get away with the majority of our population being self-centered and living, at least part of their time, in a fantasy world as en escape from getting their life in order.

As the article claims it can be "nourishing", but nourishing for what. If you need parents, builders, engineers, philosiphers it won't make that out of them.

(im aware at least a bunch of the people who engage in this behaviour are actually contributing massively and this is their way of blowing off steam)
The slowness seems to be from the UI. PDF engines, except pdf.js, are very fast. On my Mac Mini MuPDF can render 60-100 pages per second, which means for a typical PDF you don’t even have to cache more than a couple of pages in memory at a time. Emacs (pdf-tools) uses poppler, which is slower, but still can handle scrolling through 300 mb PDFs no problem. And the Acrobat engine itself is fast. Prior to Acrobat DC it ran very smoothly on old hardware.

PDF has a lot of features, but it’s not complicated. If your PDF doesn’t contain a 3D model, that’s just some code that takes up room in the library but probably doesn’t even get paged in. A PDF is just a command stream, and the commands for drawing text are straightforward: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/developing-with-pdf/978...

As to cross platform software, what about Qt, or GTK, or WxWidgets? There isn’t a single decent Electron app. Even VSCode uses CPU sitting there doing nothing. It’s a freaking text editor, what’s happening in the background?!
> I don't like Apple applications using Super/Windows/Looped Square for their own shortcuts.

I strongly disagree. The distinction between OS and applications is arbitrary, it does not make sense to separate along this line. And a consistent command key is great, particularly compared to the mess we have on Windows. The fact that this leaves control free for command-line applications is a great bonus as well.
Consider they're at least somewhat aware this conversation would be subpoenaed during a lawsuit should the acquisition go sour. Musk's "can we talk on the phone?" means "tell me more, but without the evidence trail"

They can always go to web. Android browsers supports push notifications what’s magical about an app?

Trump supporters: we are being treated unfairly and we can’t get our message out because of Twitter and Facebook, how will we ever Make America Great Again? Life is so unfair.

The civil rights movement: we are being beaten, we are being lynched, attacked by police, jailed, spit on just for trying to send our children to school, etc. Let’s start a grass roots organization.

There are definitely more MAGAs in proportion to the population and they are better funded than there were people working toward civil rights during the 60s. Maybe it’s not a matter of being persecuted it’s just incompetence when it comes to leadership?

Trump supporters overwhelmingly consider themselves Christians. If they really want to organize, they can do the same thing MLK did - go into the churches.
Since there were much fewer games on Stadia, your game had a much bigger chance of getting discovered. And if they got their game into Stadia Pro (subscription) they would benefit from its generous revenue share. Hundred Days - Winemaking Simulator made 25% of their revenue from Stadia.

>And for a further question, would they have remained stable if other countries had not invested in their military to the point that the world in general remained peaceful?

You can leverage that criticism against Bitcoin because that is exactly what it depends on.

> Mastodon is in a constant state of chasing new, usually niche or controversial features which have led to a lot of bloat

For those of us who haven't been following Mastodon closely, can you list some of these features?

There is a setting for this and it seems to work some of the time.

As soon as there is an OS update it doesn't progress (which, granted, is uncommon) and it only works for the last game you played. So if I play GTA and Apex Legends, then only one would get the update, and only if there is no OS update, and only if I use rest mode.

A lot of circumstances where it isn't going to help.
Learning the Language of Variants
This is standard operating procedure with large Indian outsourcing-companies.

Get the contract using great people. Before the ink on the contract is dry, send in hopelessly underqualified staff. By the time the client finds out, their "old" internal resources are long gone, bonuses have been paid out to management for reducing cost etc.

I experienced this first-hand with Cognizant.
As others have said, I do think Frege gets a fair shake in academia, but he definitely could be studied more. He certainly doesn’t have the near pop-philosophical status of a Russel. I would also agree that Russel is overrated. For some reason, the public seems to love experts of narrow technical or scientific fields that proffer, usually inadequate, takes of other areas like morals all whilst ignoring the experts in fields like morality (I can think of some other situations in which the political opinions of e.g. cosmologists are venerated on the basis of their expertise in cosmology, which of course makes absolutely no sense but seems to be something people love to do. Apparently deeply specialized expertise means you’re “smart” and therefore anything you say even on subjects you don’t know a lick about must also be “smart”)

Aside from Wittgenstein, Frege is the “analytic” philosopher I most admire. There’s a certain creative genius that shines through his work that I feel is absent from the work of many other analytic philosophers. His short Foundations of Mathematics text quite literally changed my life by making math interesting to me for the first time. I was lucky enough to read a copy of the Begriffs chrift since my school’s library had it, it’s a work of beauty!
Kindle ePub issues – broken metadata handling
Assuming we could stabilize the Earth's climate as it is now, and discarding any questions of resources, I wonder if humanity could remain as-is for a billion years? We'd still be under (non-natural) evolutionary pressure, unless we learned enough to stop that happening too.

If we did become a stable species that decided to stick around the Solar system, maybe we'd be powerful enough to move Earth slowly outwards as Sol expanded? Maybe with the gravitational effects of millions of planetoid flybys.

Makes me wonder if we could do the same with stars, lol! Become a shepherd of our local galactic area, carefully keeping stars away from our precious birthplace over timescales of trillions of years...
Twitter could be used from devices other than a desktop PC when it launched. This was genuinely novel and drove a lot of adoption.
Did you finish your research? Everything I've ever read confirms what u/DoingIsLearning said, which is that coal is a far, far bigger concern for GHG than the meat industry, despite the propaganda here in the west to make one think otherwise.
How would they +1 this? Require users to watch two ads Youtube-style before rendering a website? Place a persistent banner ad along the bottom of the browser window?
That reflects poorly on Bitcoin because it has the exact same design as fiat. It doesn't neutralize liquidity preference so a society adopting Bitcoin would be equally prone to go to war.
The most childish thing is trying to be an adult with absent understanding of why. Horrifying are the people who have kids just to keep up with the Jonses.

The parts I see actually worthy of concern of childishness are disregard for how things work and what it takes to achieve them. Relatedly there is a third issue of dependence but it has too many other non-attitude causes. These are my own admitted biases.

Childishness is a rather useless conflation of all. Humans are childish compared to great apes. Curiosity and tinkering are also childish but they have brought us the furthest forward.
Anyone able to give a rough estimate of how much one of the FPGAs with R-Tile would cost per device for a small order (1-5)? 1k, 10k, 100k? Are they likely to be available any time soon?
The fact that they are shipping new PCB revisions of their boards with alternative components (like different PMICs) supports the claim that (at least) part of the shortage was due to supply problems.

Why is this so surprising? Google search gives me better results than DuckDuckGo for my purposes (especially when using the "site:" search syntax). Some web apps and websites are buggy on non-Chrome browsers or a lot faster on Chrome (e.g. Google Workspace apps like Google Sheets are often a lot faster).

If I want to submit high quality work on time, it makes sense to use the best (most performant) tool for the job. Firefox, DuckDuckGo, and other alternative tools are helpful for personal use, but I have less to worry about when using Google and Chrome for work.
The music in the top of the charts is definitely not appealing to me but it's not all senseless crap. The lyrics and emotions can be closer to a Marvel movie but there's a pretty high level of production in the bigger artists. It does nothing at all for me personally but when I hear something like a Dua Lipa song you realize there's real effort and skill going into it.
Social media a factor in teenager's death, coroner says
Long term, systemic damage to both product and company reputation.

Google Stadia case in point. Nobody serious backed Stadia because almost everyone expected Google to kill it off so nobody jumped to it and then it was inevitably killed off because it didn't bring in the cash Google was expecting. Even when the stars had aligned for them with the pandemic and supply shortages that should have given them tons of players Google just couldn't convince enough people to go for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are high level talks going on about the sustainability of some of this exact lines of thinking. Chasing growth organically is fine. Artificially generating it by shifting costs or cutting corners elsewhere to maintain the illusion of growth eventually sinks the whole ship.
The andon cord revolutionised Toyota
It’s strange that he has apparently felt this way a long time, started Twitter as a “protocol”, was at the helm of Twitter, but now that he’s a billionaire thinks it was all a mistake. He could have made what he describes or apparently believes in but at the cost of becoming a billionaire. It’s a little too convenient isn’t it? Sounds like a billionaire just wanting to be the smartest person in the room. This is a common pattern amongst all these billionaires.

Eventually, this attitude develops software that takes all day to generate erroneous results and nobody really understands the code because it was all added quickly without refactoring. It's the dark side of "Do the Simplest Thing that could Possibly Work" which is probably the most misunderstood practice in XP.

At that point, every developer on the team becomes an interchangeable useless warm body and the promotion goes to the "rock star" from outside who comes in and rewrites it or surgically fixes the top performance issues.

My parents preserved some of my baby hair in a matchbox. Apparently I was blond like a Lannister at the beginning, even blonder maybe. I still have the blue eyes but I will be considered blond only in the Middle East. Most of the darkening happened before I start school but definitely continued until adulthood.
That is true, and underappreciated. But it is also worth noting that he tried to be CEO of two companies at once - so in a very objective way he obviously could have done more to improve twitter.

It's possible to be both successful and remorseful. Maybe when he says "protocol," he means "stayed with an open API" so third party clients could have stuck around.
> he wants a system where there are gatekeepers

Does he? He says "it can't have an advertising model" and that it shouldn't be centralised.

> in his view these gatekeepers should be baked into the protocol

I don't see how that could in practise be done, and my reading is that Dorsey either doesn't want it or doesn't think it's possible (or both).

Not the "Apple Store", but apple.com

I believe it is correct. It was back when we didn't call it a new tab page, but 'homepage' and it was set to an actual website.

Of course Safari defaulted to apple.com, what else was it supposed to default to?
The vaccine against consumer loyalty is supply-chain monopoly. You'll never have to worry about it again.
Counterfeiting is mostly prevented through security measures on the bill itself which can be confirmed through counterfeit detectors.

The police force just makes it easier for people to not have to carry detectors and use them for every single transaction. Aka optimistic security.

Anyway, the problem is even if you do all of that, Bitcoin miners also pay taxes that fund the military and Bitcoin miners depend on property rights, landownership, electricity infrastructure, fiat currency just like any other company. Internalising these costs makes the economy more efficient, it doesn't absolve Bitcoin of benefiting from human violence.

It’s a generational article, for anyone of a certain age or older, explaining why what we see as “infantalization” serves a purpose and may yield very positive outcomes.
Older readers will remember when you'd buy a computer magazine printed on paper and at least 80% of it was ads. Which often didn't change from month to month.

Massive slabs of wood pulp had to be printed and shipped to all to the stores that stocked them, at huge cost, just so you could manhandle one of them home.

And the content was mostly physical bloat.

That's the modern web. Except that you don't just get the ads, you get some of the machinery that serves them - at you, specifically, based on your browsing profile, which is used to decide which ads you see.

I always refuse all cookies. When I forget to do that for some reason it's obvious just how much slower the experience gets.
