Who cares if it's legal or illegal. We don't have these discussions to let the law be the arbiter of morality, we have these discussions to get to the bottom of what the law ought to be, or at the very least, how we as individuals are going to respond to this kind of stuff.

Personally I'm going to continue to block ads on the advice of the FBI regardless what some other people say about it, I'm going to continue to refuse to use third party delivery services, and I'm going to continue to refuse to use any third party rating or aggregator service for local businesses. And also I'm going to continue aggressively avoiding Google products and services.
"people that run the course make most of their money from running the course and not from actually releasing iOS apps..."

This is so pervasive. Even in the mainstream economy where we see universities marketing courses that might seem to lead to employment but in fact are very niche with little chance of leading to a job in that specialism.

I've been looking for piano tuition recently and it's refreshing to see marketing along the lines of how much enjoyment you'll get, with potential to entertain your friends at parties.
But in what demented mind do you temporarily hire tens of thousands of extremely expensive and highly skilled workers (to do what?) and then wipe out all those projects in a year?

Even if you treat people as completely disposable garbage, it doesn't even make any sense in terms of projects, to urgently come up with projects for 10k+ people then urgently cancel them. Again, these are decades-old, established, money-making companies.

I think NixOS tends to be mentioned more often than others because it provides a lot of clean solutions to common problems. Especially when some people claim these common problems are unsolvable, but NixOS does offer some sort of solution (that of course comes with it's own set of tradeoffs, every solution does).

If someone says "It's impossible to run a popular website with client-side analytics" and you frequently hang out on popular websites without client-side analytics, wouldn't you share those examples to show that the person might not know about those and could further their understanding?
Tailwind may not be targeted towards you. For me, it was a solution to many of my CSS problems. However, I'm not an expert in CSS, and I can recognize that for someone who already has extensive experience with CSS, it might just appear as a complex abstraction.
How do you fix a broken pipe that’s already had a dozen patches on it? Keep adding more and it stays broken?

At some point you have to just rip it out and put a new one in.

I’m personally fine just leaving and getting a new job if things get wack. Unless I can get to senior leadership level I can’t do much when the culture is already so ingrained. That’s why you need an Elon or someone like that with guts to just come in and fire people.

Aside from "Official website" they are offering the product from the company that sells it, not a knock off.

I could sell Armani, and buy from their site, I'd be an unofficial reseller.

The point in general (slight change of position here) is that had they not stated "official", reselling is perfectly fine. As you point out trademark infringing (representing yourself as them by saying official) is not.
Yes. That’s definitely not a childish idea that seems to be based on the idea that you can will things into being simply by stamping your feet and holding your breath until the adults break down and give you ice cream.
> Perhaps not being morally right is something to have outrage about.

Well, evidently, it doesn't outrage you.

But my impression was the rage was more directed at Google and Amex, who were in a position to easily prevent the fraud but instead choose to benefit from it.

The one party who cannot do anything about it (except cancelling orders and calling their customers until the fraud stops) is the original restaurant.
Maybe there is a tipping point where we start saying that "startup" is no longer a positive word.

Amount of wannapreneurs loosing money on scams, amounts of young adults exploited to work for below market rates for years, amount of scammers hiding under "startup" banner getting money from VCs or small investors are not "one Deepak using quantum healing".

Its not that I don't believe your general point but I would be interested in evidence that you're getting more than 1 in a row.

I am $50MM+/year spender on Meta ads and while I know that ad load is up I don't think its up that much where ads run alongside each other.

If you can show me evidence of this I will make a big fucking deal of this to Meta.
Implementing POSIX as a compatibility layer on systems not designed to be Unix-like is possible. You can even skip a fair number of the most problematic parts and still run useful programs.

OpenVMS doesn't have fork(), just vfork() and it can run LLVM and modified versions of bash and GCC. Windows NT used to have a POSIX subsystem. Heck, IBM even managed to certify z/OS to be POSIX compliant.

Just because you happen to need some level of POSIX compatibility for interoperability doesn't mean that POSIX has to be the basis for your syscall layer.
> the flexibility of wooden vertical load bearing posts

I know you didn't write this, but lots of people think that the flexibility works because it "absorbs" the energy of the earthquake. It does not. What it does is spread a short sharp move into longer but lower amplitude move. The energy imparted is the same.

Nope. Germany is doing very well in the same global economy thank you very much. It is 100% the fault of the people continuing to elect brain dead politicians and voting for things like Brexit. The only question remaining is how bad it will be. Right now the UK is in a nose dive with the pilots MIA.

It's no longer watch-sized. The Freestyle Libre3 monitor is precisely the same size as a pair of stacked pennies (US). I'm wearing one right now. The previous Libre2 sensor was much larger, and you had to tap your reader device against the sensor in order to transmit data via NFC.

In contrast, the Libre3 transmits via Bluetooth, and does so once per minute, without me having to do anything else. The non-insurance retail cost is about $70 per sensor. With insurance, it can be much lower.

For me, the size difference is a real game changer. This thing is so much easier to wear and live with.

For me, the automatic update once per minute is also a real game changer. I don't need to tap the sensor with my phone to get a reading, I just open the app on my phone and the data is already there.

By all accounts, the Dexcom G7 is about the same size, and because Dexcom plays nicer with other devices, that's the way you want to go if you're trying to close the loop on the CGM plus automatic insulin dosing.

For now, I'm super happy to have the Libre3. The app needs some improvement, but this is already a World Series + Super Bowl winner.
I'm not sure if this is related, but I believe there are very deep open questions in probability (eg.: the interpretation of probabilities based on counter-factuals) and it's what came to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_interpretations
Nope. Germany most definitely has a secret sauce: the education system. It is structured very differently from the UK system with a heavy emphasis on high levels of technical skills. Cheap Russian gas has nothing to do with it. But it sure helps of course.

I wasn't saying that women's office jobs are killing them. I'm coming from a place where most women don't have white collar jobs, and are barely able to hold blue collar jobs. But the "self-improvement" mantras they're plied with that make them feel inadequate, often rely these days on narrow examples of successful women in tech. They're sold this idea that it's all equal now, because if these women can do it so can you.

A pertinent digression: I know 4 women in their late 30s who are currently enrolled in IT courses at community college. None of them are for standard IT stuff. It's like, "Info Security" (how do you do that without coding?), "Intro to Artificial Intelligence", etc. These women have kids and come from things like - nail salon, lash girl, massage therapist, woo-woo crystal shop owner. The trend is unmistakable: The lifestyle of tech work as a white collar path for women which does not actually exist is being sold as a path out of poverty. I do know one woman who did 6 months of serious bootcamp from nothing, taught herself JS/React, and has a good job at a Fortune-500. But she's a severe nerd and has the wiring for it; she can sit there and talk to me about underscoreJS versus JQuery. The others I know ...it's just an idea, like becoming a rock star or something.

That was what I meant. It doesn't negate your point that men aren't complaining, and I wasn't trying to say that the biggest burdens in tech were being given to women, just that this is dangled out there as a means to freedom and it's almost completely a rip-off.
Way less than a finger stick. And you only do it once per two weeks, instead of multiple times a day.

And the Libre3 is so much better than anything else I've tried before.
I'm holding out for s&box hopefully being a return to community driven gaming. Garry has a proven track record of shipping games with big audiences (I've personally sunk way too many hours into both Gmod & Rust), and with source 2 as the engine it's looking pretty graphically stunning.

VR isn't good at general computing because noone has really embraced the form factor and given it the attention it needs. The issue is, meta is not doing that. Hopefully the upcoming apple ar/XR/vr stuff will be a bit better.

The oculus go failed terribly, because no-one made content for it. Microsoft's attempt at arm laptops failed, because no-one made applications for it. Apple was able to convince people it was worth considering arm, maybe they can get people to consider vr?

Using it wrong on every codebase that wasn't even made by me but instead by my employers? If it's happening that many times, the tool is to blame.

More likely that the people who use it and like it (for now) have never have to handle large amounts of components and refactoring them. It's basically impossible.

Trends come and go, who's to say that in a few years we decide, like jQuery, that hey, maybe this utility first approach isn't all that great? Yet at that point we'd have lots of legacy code to refactor, again just like jQuery.

Furthermore they have an incentive to lobby for legislation to forbid aftermarket hardware/software, likely in the name of "public safety", but really just sales figures. Electric cars generally have fewer parts that wear over time, so car makers really have to up the planned obsolescence game if, after a major battery breakthrough that allows for more range/lifespan than you need, they still want to be selling the same amount of cars year over year.

Can't wait for someone to come up with a full aftermarket car firmware that would let you run everything on it, circumvent restrictions, and disable telemetry.

"Besides from the identity fraud, how is this illegal?"

The identity fraud is core to the product. Had they not registered a domain that made them sound official and said that they were the other company, nobody would get confused and think they're ordering from the actual company.

I'd actually read it more as asserting the populace has been been so influenced by this media hysteria that even though all this stuff got built, nobody uses it because they've become fundamentally unwilling to let their children walk--and perhaps not very willing to do so themselves.

GP mentioned the safety-related improvements to demonstrate exactly how irrational being scared in their particular community was, and perhaps to lament the wasted effort and money a bit. The before/after was to illustrate the populace was so affected by whatever's happening they actually regressed from previously being very willing to walk in worse conditions.

At least I did until the response you got that didn't say exactly the same. But I still suspect that was the gist, in the original context, and it just got a bit lost in rebuttal.
All per account. If account 1 marks a message (sender) as spam, account 2 is not affected. I am blocking at least one otherwise legitimate company that is incapable of unsubscribing me from the marketing mails (despite talking to their helpdesk). I block them now. But other accounts may want to still see their emails.

If you want to learn who the real bad spammers are, I think you need larger volumes of mail than a self-hoster will gather.

The network effect that mox can use is through a RBL/DNSBL, but then an external DNSBL is doing the learning/analysis and mox just uses it.

Roughly, There are a few things that are generally applicable for earthquake performance.

1) The period fundamental period of a building is roughly .1 sec/floor. (+-, OOM) Earthquakes tend to have an energy peak in the 1 second range. Houses and skyscrapers have an advantage here, 5-10 story apartment buildings, no. (Houses move with the ground, it hits higher modes of skyscrapers, but apartment buildings resonate)

2) Unreinforced masonry or lightly reinforced concrete sucks in an earthquake. Very low tensile strength, which leads to crumbling under shear loads. Combine this with 5-10 story buildings and you have a death trap. Reinforced concrete helps, but it takes a _lot_ of steel, so much that you have difficulty placing the concrete. It's mostly for containment, so that you have this core of concrete wrapped in a steel jacket that can retain enough strength that the building doesn't collapse. It's still a write off after the quake, but hopefully you haven't killed anyone.

3) You want relatively consistent height vs stiffness and stiffness vs orientation profiles. One weak floor (e.g, double height ground floor with columns) concentrates the motion there, and with that the forces. One of the California quakes (Maybe Northridge) showed that the typical for the time arrangement of 3 walls + one open side for parking on the ground level, + 2 stories above was a really bad idea because that one weak wall doomed the buildings. You can't do that in California anymore.

4) Stiffness attracts load. This is a displacement driven regime, rather than a force driven one. If you make something stronger, it often becomes stiffer, and then attracts more load. This can go in a loop. The solution is to make things _really_ flexible, such as using base isolation.

It's the exact same thing in China. We can disagree with the laws there but it's not like laws don't exist and they just do whatever. The laws are draconian but they're still laws.
