I've learned that giving things away is much harder than selling them for a small price. If I want to give something away, I get a lot of interest, but nobody really shows up, nobody is committed. It's a lot of wasteful communication. If I sell it for 5€, it's a much nicer experience and it still goes to the target audience (people who couldn't afford to pay the full price).

> The actual complaint SEEMS to be: Google Authenticator backup isn't encrypted at rest on Google's Servers

Encryption at rest would NOT solve the problem being described here. Even if the data was encrypted both in transit and at rest, that does not mean that Google is incapable of getting access to the data. The data needs to be encrypted from the moment it leaves the device until the moment it arrives back on the user's device again (e.g. client to client E2EE), which is a stronger criteria than encryption in transit and at rest.
Yeah, it definitely is. I'm not denying that they're fundamental, I have no reason to doubt that, I just think it's odd that they are so deeply embedded into everything, simple enough to kind of understand the basic idea of, and yet totally separate from everyday experience.

Like, a construction worker may know hundreds of techniques. A painter uses hundreds of colors. A while many people likely only use four operations on real numbers their whole lives. Math is everywhere, essential for engineering, but almost totally hidden from most people.

Probably just a consequence of how we kind of jumped straight from "experience and guesswork" to "Hire a pro if you want to build a barn and let them use computers" though.

I hope that whoever the executives are over at the MLB who decided that blacking out games on streaming services was a good idea, are well into their 60s and 70s and will be dying or retiring soon.

I lived a ten minute walk from the Cubs' stadium and really wanted to watch every game. I moved to Chicago the year before they won the world series and got to experience all the build up, so was extremely excited to follow them.

But even though I had a MLB.tv subscription, from T-Mobile, it was completely useless the entire time I lived in Chicago. The Cubs' games were on an over the air network, WGN, for decades, so I had to spend money for a one time expense of an antennae to be privileged to watch some games and the added inconvenience of switching away from my streaming box.

Soon after they won the world series, they moved to a cable only network Marquee. I would have been forced to pay for cable to get the same shitty experience of watching only some games. I ended up only ever watching games I was physically at or when a game aligned with the exact time I happened to be at a bar with it on in the background.

Blackout rules feel like a completely untenable situation if baseball wants anyone under 45 to get in to the sport.
Section 230 seems to say they can moderate if they want, and have no obligation to do so, or to not do so.

Seems like they're motivated to moderate in this case, because this usage costs them money and the users that sign up for this type of usage tend not to pay their bills.

IMHO, it might make more sense to work on usage tiers, sales calls, and collecting good payment before incurring large costs, more than a pipeline to inspect user content, including sending it to an uninvolved third party (Google Vision), but maybe that's just me.

Arnold's Cat Map
I think this book should be used to teach "Programming" (in any language) in School because it shows how to use Computers as an aid to actually learning/simulating Science which dovetails nicely with the Maths/Physics/Chemistry/Biology classes.

Teaching this way will actually motivate students to understand Science since they can program the evidence and convince themselves of the "Scientific Truth" of what they have studied.
It is not true, as other commenters have said.

I am getting 12-28 minutes to drive during rush hour and 27 minutes to take the bus. The car travel time also doesn't factor in walking to the parking garage (10ish minutes when I lived there) and was typically longer than what Google maps is predicting.

You are right that the routes are limited and that's it's a problem. However, this isn't because cars are better, it's because we built the city for cars. It's pretty telling that given all of the hostile car-centric infrastructure, buses can still be competitive to driving. I was resistant to taking the bus at first but then once I tried it, it was the obvious choice for me.
I get your point, but options aren't usually considered an asset. They do expire after all! Though now that I think about it, I'm not sure what would be the best performing asset of the past decade.

> even simple things require quite complex configuration in maven.

I have used Maven on and off since around 2007/2008 sometime.

Since I started taking responsibility for build setups I have realized that I think in every single case where I found unexpected complexity in Maven it could be solved by something like putting some folder or file in the place it was supposed to be all the time and delete most of the configuration.

Convention over configuration is central to Maven after all and extra configuration is only necessary if you do something non standard.
In Rural areas some people need longer range wifi. IoT devices in different buildings or data service for things on a farm.

If the costs were lower, I deploy something in my neighborhood. For whatever reason, my neighborhood has terrible LTE service. I don't know the exact reasons why but I suspect I have poor service either due to geography like we're using another counties cell tower on a butte 5 miles away due to line of sight issues or maybe there are metallic properties of the land here on our canyon rim (mostly lava flows.)

As my spouse and I bike, take walks or drive to work I would love to have data service in that few mile radius around my house. If my phone could have an eSIM with my provider but a SIM with my own private LTE and a meeting call can fail over between data services, I would have a lot more flexibility.

I would have a lot of other use-cases with IoT and maybe quadrupeds as things like that become more generally available but data within a few mile radius would be the first thing.

I suppose I could get four 90 degree antennas at a higher db power output and blast my neighborhood with wifi but that has a lot of downsides.

Thanks! I know basically nothing about the Minecraft thing - I didn't hear about it until a week after it launched, and by that time the multiplayer servers were dead and the game was abandoned. Apparently the Babylon.js folks had some backchannel dialog with Mojang about it, but they declined to include me or tell me what was discussed.

As for what I'd do differently - I should have ignored it. I invested a fair bit of emotional energy into trying get info, doing some work that the Babylon team asked for in hopes it would lead somewhere, etc. But nothing came of it and it was pretty depressing; I'd have been happier if I'd just tweeted once and moved on.

(I guess technically I should also have bugged Mojang to comply with the MIT license by adding my code's copyright notice, but... life is short.)

Re: Babylon.js, it doesn't have any voxel-related features, so to be honest all the babylon-specific code in my engine would probably look very similar if I'd gone with three.js.

I'd probably never have been able to build my engine in three, just because I don't know any way of getting answers to thorny "oh you need to set mesh._dirty before calling that API" type questions for it.

About the zillionth time you get 'I'm sorry, you're right, [blah] doesn't exist. Here's [something else that doesn't exist]', it gets really frustrating. The worst part is you can often tell the software is referencing some relevant page(s), but just inappropriately mixing them with other stuff. And so if you could simply get the link it'd be far more helpful than listening to the program continuing to describe in immaculate detail how to use an API that does exactly what you're looking for, with the slight problem that it doesn't exist.

I’m no expert on the sociological aspects of this, but do claim a bit of knowledge on statistics. And when a research finding contradicts everyday experience, it’s natural to be skeptical, so I looked at the paper in a bit of detail (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2221311120).

While I do have other questions about the test setup, here’s the statistical analysis they did:

They divided the students into quartile buckets based on prior knowledge on a subject, and then measured learning rates using some kind of online course system. What they found, in their own words, is that there’s only “small variability of student learning rate relative to variability in students’ initial knowledge”. In other words, and looking at their tables, there’s actually large variability in learning rate overall, but that’s almost perfectly correlated with initial performance.

To be concrete, the improvement rate, using whatever measurement they use, is 2.56 for the top initial knowledge quartile and 1.70 for the bottom one. So top performers do indeed learn 50% faster.

They hide this using lots of language about “little inter-quartile differences”, and then denounce all kinds of “problematic conceptualizations” that society has. When in reality, at the university level, this “initial knowledge” isn’t some independent random variable that you have to control for, but, as this study actually very clearly shows, the integral of the student’s learning rate over their lifetime.
