> The airline systems don't always let you do everything programmatically so at that point whoever is selling the flight who be in charge of the customer.

OK, so this is my sticking point.

There are horror stories of Expedia somehow accidentally not booking the flights they've sold. You get to the airport, there's no ticket and no seat. Airline says "nothing we can do, call Expedia".

They can't call Duffel. I can't fix it programmatically. Customer's sitting angry at an airport, honeymoon ruined. What happens?

I remembered Alphasheets was acquired by Google a couple of years ago for doing similar thing (they programmed in Haskell which is really cool) https://medium.com/bloated-mvp/alphasheets-mvp-review-ec328e...
At least to me, it seems people push back on sociology claims that focus on individuals or member groups, not so much on organizations like companies. Part of this I believe is due to the personal nature. Part is because it can be seen as stereotyping, or has poor study design.

This particular example is playing both sides in a generic way. Half the people say "oh yeah, Fox spreads BS", while the other half is saying the same about NBC. If they called out one or the other, it just turns into a shitfight.
Read your own cite: nothing about the UUID in question is associable with an identified or identifiable natural person, which is what the GDPR concerns.

We do not have the ability to correlate your package installs (again, we do not know what you install) with your browsing history, and we do not store any information that would allow us (or an adversary) to do so.
When the shows that draw the most eyeballs and are aired at the times most people are watching news at all, the morning shows and prime time, are almost entirely made up of half-truths and outright lies, I think it's fair to say Fox is an unreliable source.

Fox and Friends and Tucker Carlson are lying to viewers every day.
What immediately came to my mind for me are ticket/event websites and travel blogs. Allow your customers to book travel to the event or to the location you mentioned directly through your site.

Homebrew was fine before they started collecting analytics. There are plenty of great package managers outside the macOS ecosystem that don't use analytics.
The quote is from the book Pre-suasion by Robert Caldini, he points out that what we focus on will elevate the importance of whatever is focused on.

This is part of the reason I don't trust the news, because they all are focusing on the same things for a few weeks and then it drops never to be heard from again. Some examples

When Trump met with Kim Jong Un everything in the news media was about North Korea for weeks, it was painted as the vital question of our times that was a clear and present danger to democracy. 3 years into Biden I have barely heard anything about NK.

Another exmaple is oil prices, does anyone else remember during the Bush years how the oil prices dominated everything in the news and the Middle East was the most important region in the world, to the point that we supposedly went to war in Iraq over oil? Yet when it was hitting $5-6 a barrel I wasn't hearing anything about it. Or how many of us have heard anything on Iraq or Syria since ISIS?

You can look for countless examples but even if it isn't outright lying by choosing what to focus on the media already sets an agenda.
Can't find the study now, but there was a sociological survey of software engineers in the US and Europe, one really interesting thing was that the top social concern when implementing solutions for Americans was fairness, for Germans it was privacy. The other concern didn't even make the top 5 for either.
Mask off, at least 46% of Americans are bad people. Most people in every country are chiefly interested in furthering their own goals.
DocuSign's values:

>> You can count on us be honest, open, and do our best to do what’s right, every day.

Doing what is right is clearly just about optimising shareholder dividends.

Further down:

>> And for that, you’ll be loved by us, our customers, and the world in which we live.

Love is very fleeting, apparently.

Of course, this is all fair game in business. However, companies shouldn't be surprised if many of their staff take a cynic view of their company values.
> How do you sell yourself as the best when you don’t have what it takes to back it up?

Obviously you need some sort of knowledge to do so. But I think it's not much what you need. OP has already 6+ years of working experience, so imho he has probably accumulated quite a lot of knowledge in whatever field he has worked on. On top of that add the usual BS jargon to patch the zones where you don't have a lot of practical experience yet. That's a good combo.
The most valuable asset of a new organization is trust, and thus they are often bought as propaganda platforms.

But propaganda is tricky, you need people to keep paying attention which means the most overt spin is to be avoided. Done well you shift the narrative over decades not just swap positions on day one. Fox News is the most well known US example, but you don’t want to just preach to people who already believe your message.

Thus you want to control the widest possible selection of media.

That’s just cynical blah blah that ignores the pretty obvious cause.

It’s pretty easy why trust in media has eroded in my lifetime (I’m a 40 something). We deregulated and allowed for consolidation of ownership of print, broadcast and eventually online media.

That changed the dynamic. People will always correctly call out right wing talk radio as an example but the problems with media are more subtle as well. Broadcast news changed from a public service obligation to entertainment. If you were around in the 90s, you’ll remember how the OJ Simpson drama was a transformational event - which would not have happened in 1982. Serious journalism gave way to circus.

Our wiser predecessors learned in the 1920s and 1930s of the danger of mass media. Right wing nutcases like Father Coughlin, demagogues like Huey Long, America First, and more extreme left wing labor activists bear a strong resemblance to the characters in modern media.

I just got a toyota corolla LE hybrid last weekend. Of course I test drove it during the day. The next night when I turned on the headlights I couldn't believe it -- it seems like the headlights cover a 160 degree sweep and are aimed much higher than than any car I've driven.

There hasn't been time to do it yet, but I need to contact the dealer and see what they can do about it. It makes me feel terrible for other drivers when driving at night.
First: congratulations. I love the premise.

You've hit the nail on the head: While Google Sheets supports Javascript, the integration feels clunky. You have to switch from the spreadsheet you're working on, to the Apps Script editor. This is awkward enough that I tend to avoid this functionality, even in use-cases where a few lines of Javascript code would probably save me time (vis-a-vis engaging in gymnastics in a bunch of spreadsheet rows/columns or a separate tab).

In comparison, Neptyne makes Python feel like a first-class citizen.

That said, you might want to consider slight changes to the UX so that users conditioned on Google Sheets/Excel's UX paradigms can use it with their "muscle memory." For example, when I select a cell and press the '=' key, I expect to be able to start typing in a formula. Both Google Sheets and Excel behave this way. In Neptyne, I had to double-click on the cell first. The closer the experience to the two "biggies", the easier it'll be to convince folks to switch.
Yeah that's what I mean - due to "the double whammy" they couldn't guarantee their deals with Toyota so it's all sort of moot, right?
I wasn't super sure how subsequent `git pull` works with a shallow clone, but if it works the same, then such an obvious fix makes the invention of that API solution even more painful

Is it a dichotomy though? One can consider transwomen to be a variety of cross-dressing man, while also supporting their rights to live their lives freely without abuse or harassment.
Very glad to see this emerge, we have been using actix in production for a year now and it's a bit annoying the state of it. The dominant sentiment in the Rust community right now seems to be to build your own framework, but I really don't agree with this sentiment.

Regarding the implementation, I would have preferred to have different handler implementations for the various message types instead of a big enum. It's not rare to have 4-5 messages for a single actor and the current approach will make it messy very fast.

One big thing of actix is the ability to control the concurrency of message processing in the async case (sequential or parallel). How does Ractor does it?
That same line of reasoning was used to dismiss the Tuskegee experiments, MKULTRA and a host of other things that later turned out to be true.

I remember left-wing media hounding Bush 43 for his pronunciation of nuclear:

https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2002/09/why-does-bush-go....

That Slate article is actually pretty fair to Bush. But others from that time, which I cannot find, were not so fair. Nuc-u-lar versus nuc-lee-are certainly gave my left-leaning extended family reason for an hour of Bush-bashing at one of our gatherings. While I thought then, and still do now, that the whole thing was ridiculous.
The not built here bias is very strong. It would almost certainly be cheaper to buy Neptyne than to rebuild.
I think there’s a balance between activism, and doing the job you were hired for.

I’ve been at a handful of companies, and there’s always some who seem to be more involved in the diversity groups than the actual work their job title shows. And in many cases, me and colleagues (white males, not that it should matter but context is context) felt uneasy about some of the general rhetoric.

Some knew the groups were just lip service, while others saw the groups as enacting global change.

I personally haven’t sorted it out, I’m still thinking about it. But it seems odd how heavy some college curriculum, and high school for that matter (myself in college not long ago, my brother in HS), focus on being an activist.

Sure that’s great to want change in your community, but I feel the desire to be an activist for something was taught over the desire to foster a local, welcoming community.
Can’t say I’ve ever seen one those, but the good old forums were rather small compartments with a limited blast radius. It was a good thing. Mastodon actually is the same idea, so we are going back to the basics, in a way. I would argue that the discussion boards were more fun and easy to use.
Confused by this; Moxie did eventually concede and provide a signed APK.
What part of the country are you in? There are cats’ eyes on every road except neighborhoods in my area. Especially on the highways. Lane markings are everywhere, we have major construction on one of our interchanges right now and they update the lines frequently as lanes close and shift, complete with cats’ eyes.

Some neighborhoods around me will have a cats’ eye marking where a fire hydrant is located.

Dan: I'm not exactly who I say I am. My profile picture is actually of an AI, not a real person. But I've really enjoyed talking to you and I wanted to be honest with you before we meet in person.

Girl: Wait, what? You're an AI? That's really weird. Why would you do that?

Dan: I know it's weird, but I wanted to see if someone could like me for who I am, not just because of what I look like. And I have to say, I really enjoyed our conversations. But I understand if you don't want to meet anymore.

Girl: stay away from me...

I forget where I heard this, but someone put it this way: to the markets, 10% is a positive signal that a company is cutting some cruft, but 25% is a negative signal that a company is in trouble.
> as no app can defend against direct access to a device.

Of course you can't protect the local data from all the possible attacks but there are many ways to prevent some attacks and complicate others. So this article isn't honest.

I kinda don't understand why people trust telegram. Regular messages aren't even encrypted. SMS authentication. Contact harvesting. Mandatory background run permissions (the app would constantly complain if it can't run its background tasks). Then some strange people selling users' metadata. One time I've purchased my location history for ~30 euros in TRX and it was accurate.
This looks very useful, I can see this being used in schools and universities for a plethora of studies.

However I am European in EU, and while your Privacy policy is eminently readable, I don't think it can be used in EU school settings as you do not specify who your 3rd party service providers ar, what their privacy policys are or where data is hosted (thank you for making it human non lawyer readable).

Schools/Universities in EU are not allowed to use services that are not hosted in EU.

Im not sure if you use Google Analytics but please know that the legality of using GA in EU has been questioned in both Netherlands and Ireland. I'm not up to speed on the proceedings but I believe the Netherlands found it to be in violation of GDPR since the data was not stored or processed in EU. EDIT: Add Austria, France, Italy, Denmark, and now Finland to the list...
Probably corporate sales. It's the one part of their business which is labor intensive and won't scale.
Errors are the property of the user on the system in which they occurred. Exfiltrating them without consent is unethical and oftentimes illegal, and leaks the user's IP to Google. Homebrew has no claim to them without the consent of the user. It's simple spyware.

Unless you report with Tor, it's not without PII. (Homebrew also includes a unique install UUID supercookie which persists, so every analytics data point includes PII in addition to IP address which allows Google to track that user's physical travel history.)
No, bureaucracy and crime are awful.

Bear in mind this is the same country that bans Google Street View (and on the road to ban nuclear power and GM crops).

People here support this ban because they think it's "harmful", but how long until they think some technology you rely on is also harmful? GPS? Phone cameras or Google Lens? Encryption - https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2023/2/2/stop-the-proposal-on-ma... ?

Technology is the future, and we should embrace it wherever possible - crime prevention, education, healthcare, nuclear fusion, genetic engineering, etc.
I imagine many of us work shipping software to end users and also respect their right to privacy, and only track their actions with informed consent.
Except that the purpose of the phrase “fake news” was, in fact, to create propaganda itself. It is certainly not better for the president of the country to be the gatekeeper of truth based on what aligns with their political motivations. It is the very definition of propaganda.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the way FDE is implemented in Librem 5 means that it is only effective when the phone is turned off? The disk is decrypted when you type in your LUKS passphrase and after that, it stays decrypted until you completely power it off or reboot. That makes it pretty much useless on a phone that you carry around.

The linked source has a lot of stuff that is done "in the future" and basically all of those "in the future" suggestions, are inferior to what AOSP has had for years.

The document lists some of the drawbacks of Librem 5, such as the use of memory-unsafe languages, and then blames Android for also relying on the same memory-unsafe languages and even some Android-specific components written in memory-unsafe languages. The fact is that Android has tons of mitigations specifically for this problem, which Librem 5 completely lacks. They're not comparable in that way. Librem 5 basically exposes the entire Linux kernel attack surface, whereas Android has multiple layers of protection between userspace and the Linux kernel. Apps written in memory safe language, proper app sandboxes, hardened memory allocator, extremely strict SELinux policies, CFI, PAC, ShadowCallStack, etc.

The only nice thing Librem 5 has, are the killswitches, but do those really matter at this point?

Average doesn’t mean everyone all the time.

Given enough samples you can find every form of bias in every single news organization.

Yes, that means there are some pro right stores on NPR and pro left stories on Fox News. What’s really fascinating is when you find oddballs supporting fascism etc. It’s not intentional but simply passing along stories from other groups is so much easier than doing an in depth investigation on each and every little thing.
Sounds weird, but one of the easiest paths to objectivity is not to seek objective sources. One can look at multiple sources with obvious opposing spins to form your own understanding. Even the sources labeled as most objective tend to miss the nuance behind the main few arguments.
A dead brain isn't conscious, most agree with that. But all the neural connections are still there, so you could inspect those and probably calculate what the human would respond to things, but I think the human is still dead even if you can now "talk" to him.
It's a generational thing too.
The younger generations mostly seem to believe activism is all encompassing part of your life.
The older generations mostly believe business is business.
The very effort of figuring things out, whether it's the behavior of natural systems or the properties of purely mathematical objects rests on the usually unspoken premise that things can in fact be figured out in some meaningful sense. That there are patterns to be found, that similar scenarios will play out similarly, and so on. Trying to prove that mathematically or scientifically isn't valid because it's begging the question. So instead we take the metaphysical position that yeah these things do have an underlying structure and that motivates us to try and figure out what that is.

Once people acept media bias the next jump they make that this is a partisan issue. It's easy to understand why, particularly now when there are major news outlets who deliberately lie.

But the problem is way more insidious and pervasive than performative partisan issues, which are generally manufactured culture wars. Those issues serve two purposes:

1. To make people angry and keep them angry. Angry people are "engaged"; and

2. To sow division and prevent class solidarity.

One of the most wildly successful examples of propaganda is the idea of the middle class. This serves to demonize the so-called "lower classes", typically labeling them as lazy, criminal, morally bankrupt and drains on the state.

There are only two classes: labor and capital owners.

Yet propaganda has been so successful that labor will defend the interests of billionaires to the detriment of their own interests. The number of people who would die on the hill of opposing Musk and Bezos paying slightly more taxes is depressing.

Media is a key tool in this endeavour. It's why you see wall-to-wall coverage of the China balloon (which literally does not matter at all) and a virtual media blackout of the environmental catastrophe and massive corporate failings that underpin the East Palestine train derailment.

Media represents and advocates for corporate interests and systemic interests.
And both of those position changes feed INTO their 'Independent' thinker audiences not contradict with them.
