> Facebook has invested billions of dollars in building and developing a platform according to their fair reading of that law

This is utter bullshit. They have tried to twist and bend the rules and tried to use an exception that doesn't apply to them at all. Everybody knew that Facebook went against the spirit of the law.

Somehow they got the Irish authority to go along with their idiotic interpretation of the law, but that doesn't mean they were working "according to a fair reading of the law", it just means that the Irish authority failed to do their job.

If Facebook had gone with a conservative reading of the law, like many other companies have, they would have added consent prompts 5 years ago, and they wouldn't have a problem today.

I would suggest you spend some time reading the GDPR. It's surprisingly approachable. The parts about consent really aren't that hard to understand at all, and it's clear what the intention of the exceptions were (eg. a pizza delivery service obviously does not need to ask for consent to share the customer address with a delivery driver for the purpose of delivering the pizza, but they do need to ask for consent if they want to add the address to a direct mailing directory).

It's unfortunate that it took the EU 5 years to do something about this obvious violation, but the problem is not the law itself.

I'll leave it up to the audience which is more plausible, given the policies we have today and the public discourse around those policies:

A. Basically everyone has a nuanced understanding of the trade-offs involved in mandating businesses to do things.

B. A sizable proportion of people and politicians neglect, in their thinking, the unintended negative consequences of mandating businesses to do things.

I admit I may be speculating a bit, since people are not eager to volunteer what they neglect in their thinking, but I don't find it difficult to determine between these two options what is more likely.

It's definitely hard to say that big corporations are victims, but I know that I personally find lots of bog standard legalese hard to interpret. Granted, lawyers have a lot more experience there, and more employed gives lots more perspective.

At the end of the day, they are still human, and laws and regulations are still written by humans, meaning that it can often be hard to suss out intent from the letter of the law.

Let me know if it's still legal to have your workers work with highly dangerous machinery for 12 hours a day, 7 days a week (for wages that would be comparable to federal minimum wage today ~ although it's hard to find a good inflation calculator that tracks back to the 1880s).

I'm sure that's totally comparable to the plight that Google/FB/Amzn employees have to put up with.

Obviously I admire what he did with the Gospel of Wealth & his philanthropy, but that doesn't excuse his horrible treatment of workers.

Does anyone with legal credentials care to comment on whether this would be likely to be blocked on a first amendment basis? Fundamentally "social media" does seem to be about an ability to post (communicate/publish) and read messages/content.

On the https://vitejs.dev/guide/why.html page Parcel is mentioned under "The problems" section, suggesting that Vite improves on Parcel.

Yet in the https://vitejs.dev/guide/comparisons.html page Parcel is not mentioned.

I strongly recommend playing the SpeechSkills SoundBites[0] game with someone for a few minutes per day. I just had it on my dining room table and after dinner I'd play it for <5 minutes with my partner. My verbal skills - especially in normal impromptu conversation - got dramatically better after a week or two.

Essentially the key is feedback, ideally instantaneous and non-disruptive. So one person reads a prompt and starts their response. The other person starts the timer and merely raises their hand and/or counts the number of "undesirable" words/sounds that come out.

Focus on one skill at a time, e.g. if you are focusing on cutting out filler words, do not even think about eye contact. If you are focusing on eye contact, do not even think about the content of your words.

[0] https://www.speechskills.com/speechskills-resources/soundbit... - but these are really just a bunch of prompt cards. You can make your own or surely find some prompt set for much less, just make sure they're not intellectually or emotionally challenging. The whole point is just verbal processing!
>The problem with this argument for me is is seems to rest on the assumption that all of these gig workers would somehow otherwise be eligible for benefits at some other job and they are being duped into taking the gig work

I don't know where this assumption is coming from. I support this type of law because I think people deserve benefits.

>I find it hard to believe that in a state like California it was easier to get support for “all contract employees are now w2 employees, except for this long list of arbitrary exclusions” (which may or may not actually result in those employees getting benefits) than it would have been for “all people who earn at least 70% of their income from 1099 income are now eligible for MediCal and/or subsidized market place plans and unemployment insurance.” Heck if you really wanted to “stick it to” the gig jobs you could even add a new tax to cover this on any company that employs more than 50 (or some other number) or more 1099 employees in the state.

It would take someone who pays a lot more attention to California politics than me to fully explain this. All I can do is say that one was made a law and one wasn't. From this layman's perspective, it seems like the one that was made a law was easier to make a law. And for the record, I would support your proposed law too, because I think people deserve benefits.

Stripe's initial success was largely driven by technical people pushing for it because of how easy their API was. Don't underestimate the impact of technical leadership on decisions like this:

> “For us it was quite visceral: these products are not serving the needs of the customers, so let’s build something better,” John Collison argues. “In old-fashioned legacy companies it’s the CFO choosing the payments system. They think all systems are alike, so they just sort the bids from suppliers. But if ... you have a two-person team, both of you writing relatively complex code and solving complex infrastructural problem, you need a simple payments API that – once installed – doesn’t keep changing.”

> ... The company grew swiftly, driven largely by word-of-mouth between developers.

The psychological pain (weight) of even carrying such a suicide pill/coin as part of your mission pack-out. Perhaps the person has a strong Judeo-Christian belief that God finds suicide and self-harm abhorrent. Or "Dr. Ellie Arroway"-non religious beliefs of the same. Maybe it's a big question mark how those beliefs are tested in the moment of being tortured. Maybe nobody involved likes the option, but it's there because we do not know about that moment, or what happens after we die, but we do know how utterly horrifyingly people can behave in war.
As a manager, I have no interest in model-based solution unless we have a good plan to refit / update and test the model on an on-going basis. And for that, Python >> R. Not my line, but I really like it: R is for Research, Python is for Production.
There is an adverse selection problem: the users who would pay are probably the richer -and most profitable- ones. The only equilibrium is a very high price to opt out, far above the average revenue per user, and essentially nobody would pay for it.

Python programmer here, but I actually prefer Restic [0].

I would argue that they invented the modern form factor of a smartphone, and a lot of the software design principles that go along with it.

If you handed a kid an iPhone 2G plus a bunch of BlackBerries and Palm Treos from 2007 and asked them to classify the devices, I bet they would only call one of them a "smartphone".
Fun fact, animals don't produce B12. Historically meat contained B12 because animals got it from drinking water and eating food that had the microorganisms which do produce it, but in contemporary industrial scale agriculture, where animals are drinking chlorinated water piped into their pen, eating grains from a trough and being given antibiotics, they no longer get it from microorganisms which would have been in their natural environment.

The people running hog confinement operations, cattle feedlots or chicken warehouses give the animals B-vitamin fortified food to make up for the deficiency.

So vegans should take a B vitamin directly, but it's the same B vitamin being given to the animals for it to end up in meat.
The criticism isn't that his stories are vapid, it's that a) his conclusions and wider narratives amount to borderline-meaningless just-so stories dressed up as "deep thoughts" and b) the evidence he uses to build his narratives collapses under even the slightest scrutiny.

Mix in his habits of open disdain for anyone outside of the creative class (see his comments on remote work), his books' occasional cultural supremacy issues, and his recent apologia for strategic bombing, and Malcolm Gladwell has hit the jackpot for distasteful writers.

He is, however, as others have noted, a very compelling storyteller.
The idea that they have to make money some other way when profit margins are 40% is spurious. There are cases where advertising is banned and it improves the local economy because the soda companies no longer have to compete by placing their placards everywhere. The tobacco companies happily agreed to no advertising on TV. A huge number of businesses benefit from a smaller ad market.

That being said, this unequivocally lowers demand for software engineers and puts downward pressure on our compensation.

Governments can get away with punishing companies up to the point they become unprofitable. I feel like internet ad companies have flown too close to the sun and privacy regulations are proving more productive for governments than anti-trust or tax law. Privacy is an acceptable excuse, but the real motivator is Europe is tired of sending so many ad dollars to US software engineers.
What works: A lead who plans out the project and works with engineers or engineering teams with different specialties to scope out the required components. Lead puts together a plan that is path dependence aware, engineers / teams work iteratively and communicate status.

Leads often don’t know how to lead, scrum hides this.

Management is supposed to be understanding the organizational needs of completing such projects i.e. making sure the right personnel are on the team, on the right teams, that the right teams exist, and that individuals are capable (technically, as a matter of attitude, incentives, conflicts of interest).

Management often doesn’t know how to manage and scrum hides this.

Product is supposed to be coming up with the projects. It gets more complicated as there are “technical” products where the PMs are maybe the leads of Engineering teams, and other ones, but overall, someone is supposed to be responsible for defining what to do next as a discrete goal.

Product often doesn’t know how to do this and scrum hides this.

The thing everyone gets wrong with agile / scrum is that you just keep hacking away until “something” gets done. Without getting into how “agile isn’t scrum” and really just meaning “the death march of ill-specification and low accountability that often gets described as scrum or agile”, you’re supposed to actually start and stop stuff. You can start, fail, and restart. But you need to complete stuff, then look at what was planned versus what was delivered. You need to make specific people responsible for specific things getting done. If people can’t handle their assignments, they need to be given different assignments or removed.

This all sounds really simple, but at dysfunctional orgs, it gets way off track. Being somewhere where nobody is responsible for anything is practically a right of passage in this industry.
I would go as far as to say that management methodologies in general are pseudoscience. Nobody knows how to do it, but some powerful people get paid a lot of money to pretend that they do.

Indeed, your system would require NAT4.44 as a transition mechanism, just like NAT64 is needed now. It gets no benefit over IPv6, and none of the other benefits like SLAAC.

So, what's the point? It's no easier to migrate to, and once we're migrated is worse.
> I take it as an axiom that feeling good, strong, healthy in the moment is a good predictor of health over the long term, thus making personal experimentation a valid approach. Of course that could in theory be not true, but it seems very unlikely to me.

There are many example of things that make you feel good in the short term, but not in the long term. It's not a wild "theory", it's a pattern we see all over the place. I'm not sure why that would seem unlikely to you.

I feel better in the moment while eating a dozen cookies. I feel worse later.

I feel better for a few hours when I take an opioid or other drugs, but long term it's not going to be for the better.

I'll feel better for a few days if I skip my workout today, I wont feel sore and beat up. After a week or two, old aches and pains will return, and over the long run not exercising will cause me more and more problems.

Billions of people overeat and have an unhealthy body weight which causes them problems. They do it because overeating feels good in the moment.

Is it really that unthinkable that eating a lot of red meat can make a person feel good but increase their risk of cardiovascular disease long term? We may not agree whether or not this is true, but can we at least agree that if it is true, it follows the exact same pattern as many other things in life?
The answer is, surpisingly maybe, no. JACK (and PipeWire) manage to add features without adding any latency to what ALSA can provide. Will it consume more CPU? yes, it does...
Ah, I think you're confused by the way the preceding paragraph ends ("Apple told WIRED that it also plans to continue working with child safety experts [...]").

The paragraph you're quoting ("'Technology that detects...scope of the problem.'") is entirely commentary from Erin Earp at RAINN, and is what was added by WIRED with the edit.

And, sorry to nitpick, but "Countering CSAM is a complicated and nuanced endeavor [...]" has always been the last paragraph (both before and after the edit).

> But it isn't a straight $9/hr. It is $10/hr some hours, $5/hr some hours, $3/hr some hours, etc.

It's basic arithmetic to add up how many total dollars you make in a week, divide it by the number of hours and compare it to what other jobs pay. Then threaten to quit unless your boss pays you as much as you could get elsewhere, or take the other job if they won't.

> And as these studies suggest, that will literally kill people.

Renegotiating base pay or changing jobs will literally kill people?

These studies are correlational. They equally suggest that people with preexisting health problems take more flexible jobs.

But that's the legislation that upholds the status quo.

Those are the things that work best, because the incentives are aligned. If your plan relies on people acting against their own interests, how often does that work?

Solving Advent of Code Day 7 with Parsers, Zippers and Interpreters
I've bought parallettes recently and started working on tucked planche to reach climbers push up in the long run.

Amazing feeling to stop coding and just do some intense exercises that takes 30-40 seconds to reach failure. I love these types of compressed intense workouts, and parallettes are a great and fun way of doing it.

I've also bought a push up bar that fits in my doorway so everytime I go to the bathroom I do static hangs with retracted shoulder blades to strengthen shoulders/upper back.
