Yes, this is the question for the ages. How can you possibly survive if you don't buy more stuff you didn't even know you needed. Clearly, that more than justifies any and all intrusive, exploitive, unethical practices. Won't someone think of the children (buying stuff they don't need).

P.S.: I have had any number of marketing types push back (vehemently) when I expressed my distaste for oppressive ad overload with "well you tell me what the alternative is...how else am I supposed to reach customers". And I have stopped even trying to be nice about it: Figuring that out is your goddam job. My job would be vastly easier if I could just say "all that stuff about ethics, regulation, legislation and simple common decency...that's really inconvenient and I'm going to ignore it". But I don't get to ignore any of that; I still successfully do my job. So why should marketing be somehow different.

Anyone in marketing who says "You tell me how to do my job without crapping on people" is lazy and incompetent.
And without the GPL and all the code that came with it, there would be no RH. Rocky is making use of the same legal protection that RH is. Yes, RH spends more on development but they are doing so using the tools and existing codebase given to them, for free, by others.

Rocky is doing something no different than what RH is doing, and if this is problematic for RH's hopes of sucking in a few $B, that's more a problem with RH's business model than it is Rocky's. They have made $Bs selling support for free software, some large part of which they didn't author, and now they want to squeeze the entire ecosystem for more.

I have zero sympathy for RH and fully support Rocky's approach here. This is a problem of RH's own creation and trying to deflect the blame onto Rocky is absurd.
Not only are they 1000x slower than memory, if you bump into thermal management, much slower than that. Worse, if you run into wear leveling write amplification, orders of magnitude slower.

Yes, you can use caching to hide this, in main memory and on the device (safely and unsafely, depending on the design and whether it is an enterprise drive with sufficient capacitors), but you can do the same with SRAM vs. DRAM and it doesn't make DRAM as fast as SRAM, or registers-vs-SRAM, likewise.
The mistake is presenting it as a video.

There must be a worse way of presenting a proof. Interpretive dance? A series of perfumes? But YouTube is certainly high on the list.
Nope. Usually all the court needs is his attestation that he always had sole custody of the evidence
I am not arguing that the increase of assaults on the BART are targeted. I am arguing that that without data to prove it, we are making an assumption by saying that an increase in the number of assaults on the BART means that you are more likely to be a victim of assault as a random commuter on the BART. I used an analogy of Chicago shootings because these numbers are well understood, I suspect the BART numbers are not as well understood (most of what either of us can find are anecdotes).

The logical fallacy here is the fallacy of composition. We've only been given the statistics as they relate to ALL riders of the BART (of which "random commuters" only comprise some portion of ALL riders of the BART). We can't draw conclusions about the likelihood of assault against commuters based on this data alone.
Yes, if you go through all their numbers, reddit is the one they think is holding its value best.
Harvard has according to their own estimates about $5.4B expenses per year. Their endowment would last about 10 years. Their goal to become completely financially independent (assuming an average annual return of 5% on their assets) would require an endowment just about twice that size.
Annoyingly they moved into shilling stupid AI ventures which is frustrating a AI has real, legitimate uses in its current form. Now we have a bunch of shills acting like we’ve achieved AGI if only you’d invest in their GPT chatbot

No; tweets have always been viewable without an account. What he did do early on was make it so you could view someone's entire profile without signing in (previously after you scrolled down a bit you'd get hit with the login flow).

I've been shadow banned several times for linking subreddits relevant to the discussion more then once in a comment section. So I started only sharing it once.

I've also been shadow banned for sharing large lists of on topic youtube links.

I believe I am running into some sort of spam prevention system, even though I see other users posting similar content. So my theory is that there is some sort of whitelist for this activity (i changed my username often when i used reddit), or I am running afoul with a certain moderator or admin.

Hard to tell when you're not even banned so there isn't a reason given to me. Wonderful system.

Back to imgur's user-sub I guess. Also I appreciate yall having me here as well.
All Google has to do is remove the dependency on the users browser from the "advertising" system. No other form of advertising in history required users to partake in the process of displaying the ad. The only reason we can block them is because they're forcing us into the process. Calling them "ads" is a euphemism, they're tracking mechanisms first and foremost.
Disenfranchisement was one of those for the prior decade.

Can you expand on how you help in the documentation? Mere guidance is not enough as the real advice afaik in the case of 8621 is to "hire a tax accountant". The trouble is that most tax accountants are not well versed in this as well so one's search is even harder.

Your point on India's growth rate likely to be higher than US is well received, but I want to understand something more tangible. Let's say I invest a dollar in India which grows at 7-8% risk free just using the FD instrument. At the end of each year though, US Gov will tax that growth at 30-40%. Next, If one repatriates that money, one loses even more value due to currency conversion. So in effect, your money grows at 4% most likely.

4% growth + tax paperwork hell seems imprudent. I'd like to learn what am I missing here? Many of my NRI friends don't bother investing in India. There is a serious lack of education in this regard.
When people discuss microplastics, they are not necessarily ever meaning "visible plastic", but rather chemical offgassing.
When my sister bought her house, she felt like the current owners were actively trying to make it unappealing. Weird photos (not as bad as these, mind), staying home during open house, etc.

Turns out, the wife was trying to make it unappealing. She didn't want to move, but her husband did. I wouldn't be surprised if something like that was the case in at least some of these photos.

Yeah. I'm not about to pretend I have a right to get content for free, so if the site offers a paid option to remove ads that I find obnoxious I'll take advantage of it.
My point was only that 17 years ago - and for more than a decade, reddit required no email address as a requisite to create an account... so it was truly anon... then they tie all (new) accounts to emails now - which makes it a trivial click for survelleince to ID your reddit account...
Of course they collect this data! Do you understand what Plaid does?

Here's what happens:

Tesla says I want to verify that a human is purchasing a car, take a deposit, and get the information needed to pre-approve the customer for the loan required to buy it.

Plaid says, we can do that for you. Plaid has you link your bank account so it can 1) verify your identity, and 2) give Tesla the information needed to debit your account. Then Plaid pulls your account history and asks you to link additional accounts as needed to get the relevant information for the underwriting process.

This allows Tesla to complete this process entirely online without a dealership in about 2 minutes. If you've ever bought a car traditionally, applied for a loan, or even linked bank accounts into a budgeting app, this is an incredible UX win for the user. Shocking, even.

> It is really not so repulsive to see the poor asking for money as to see the rich asking for more money. And advertisement is the rich asking for more money. A man would be annoyed if he found himself in a mob of millionaires, all holding out their silk hats for a penny; or all shouting with one voice, “Give me money.” Yet advertisement does really assault the eye very much as such a shout would assault the ear. “Budge’s Boots are the Best” simply means “Give me money”; “Use Seraphic Soap” simply means “Give me money.” It is a complete mistake to suppose that common people make our towns commonplace, with unsightly things like advertisements. Most of those whose wares are thus placarded everywhere are very wealthy gentlemen with coronets and country seats, men who are probably very particular about the artistic adornment of their own homes. They disfigure their towns in order to decorate their houses.

it would be fun to see "Monster Hunter" get some more exposure in the West, it's got an approach to character development different from the average RPG where you don't level up but instead progress through getting better equipment and "gitting gud".

It is so much easier to keep an online game running than it is to launch a new one, that's some of why I was shocked by Meta shutting down Echo VR. Sure they don't think Echo VR has the potential to get big enough to move the needle for them, but there's a lot of risk a new game won't get any traction at all.
Have you actually visited the McMansion Hell website? It is literally the exact opposite of what you are describing.

It's looking down on people with >million-dollar, ten-thousand square foot homes that are also designed and decorated in an ugly and/or antiquated manner.

Having a small enthralled group of gamers is enough to make a lot of money. There are many, many, communities playing old online games serviced by small studios or as side projects of larger corporations.

Its a shame seemingly our entire industry has adopted a "Make 10s of Billions or GTFO" mentality for its projects. A lot is being lost by ignoring the "make a small beloved product" route.

Sounds like an absolutely terrible business strategy for YouTube. You can't fix this problem through product decisions when the problem is that they are an advertising company with a profit motive.
Cars burn really well.
the real issue, is that when enough people consume a service, it becomes a 'utility', and you are penalized if you don't use it. As such, if a percentage of the population uses something, it should be regulated as a 'utility'. Copyright laws should reflect this also.

Most jobs I've seen (even outside of tech ) require familiarity with Windows and Office, ie. basic skills linked to one platform.

Google is used enough and thus influential enough, it should be classified a public utility and forced to comply with strict utility laws ( which requires government approval to modify prices ).

IANAL, but I'm sure there are layers that could contrive the social penalties of not using Google service.

People make this logical leap in their brains without recognizing it when they use a service for years and rely on it for their daily information, then turn on the high paid exec's who are trying to squeeze a dollar from every user. Red Hat, Reddit, Google, Microsoft, Comcast, all need reigning in because of their necessarily high required utility in civilization.
That's the article that the comments are all about, yes.
Serious coding machine has to be a Linux box IMHO. Unless you specifically code for MacOS or Windows platforms that is.

WSL2 on Windows is fine, but why if I can have a full blown Linux directly.

What surprised me is that, at CMU the so called top #1 CS university, its CS students are dominantly using MacOS and Windows, only 5% are using Linux, which puzzles me quite a bit. I guess other universities are the same patterns.

Not true.

Ingress is still a thing.
It's not necessarily a "move" - not if it comes from different people.

This is a problem in a public forum. You're not debating one-on-one. You're debating N-on-M. When you think you have a point nailed down - people with safety concerns understand the tech, say - then someone else comes in and argues against you from their viewpoint.

(If it's the same person, then yes, it's either a "move", or it's just that they're arguing just to argue, and not listening at all. If so, just move on - one cannot reason with a brick wall.)

>there was no escaping them unless you physically exit the room.

I have no idea what you did when TV was still relevant, but when ads came on my family used to either change channel or mute the tv and talk about stuff until the show came back on. You got very good at feeling out how long ad blocks were and switching back at the right time.

Regardless though, there were strict laws on the ads that you could put on TV, the claims you could make, how you could master them (ie sound volume), and in what timeslots.

Based on the scams you endlessly see in YouTube ads, I'm pretty sure they don't bother with any of that.

That's a failure of architecture, too; it's entirely possible to build houses near each other without that happening.

You'll have to pardon me if I find it highly dubious that given the option to attend with no guarantee of student housing for a secondary set of matriculants that thousands upon thousands more would not still _jump_ at the opportunity - even if they had to commute dozens of miles a day.
When you have a failed state you need to reset, put order, build credible institutions and then go back to democracy.

When you have no territorial control, you need to grab back the territorial control, and fight any armed groups that oppose resistance.
I've had adblockers installed for decades. I'm always amazed at how bad the internet is without them when occasionally I view a website on my phone. When there's one completely unrelated video ad playing, and then a second also unrelated video ad pops up on top of the first, I wonder if the first advertiser knows or cares that their ad is being covered by another ad. And then I have two or more audio streams playing simultaneously, so I can't understand any of them ... and I regret working in tech.
With a remote workstation to actually build and run software on, an iPad / Android tablet almost works great as a thin client for a terminal. The biggest thing I missed on it were browser developer tools. The mobile browsers just don't have it. Needing a Mac to attach to it to run developer tools on just kills the "Pro" in iPad Pro for me.

Maybe there's a decent third-party app for it now (Is Inspect Browser any good?), but there wasn't last time I tried it.

Now that all these Niantic employees have some free time on their hands, anybody wanna collab on making pokemon go but for actual species in different locations? iNaturalist is a crowd-data citizen science platform where people post observations of any species ever and others help to identify. A really rich source of data to play with. Perhaps you can get some sort of playing card everytime you've submitted a "research-grade" observation to the platform. People travel to different countries for specific pokemon. Imagine doing this but for actual species of plants/animals. Imagine sitting down and researching migration patterns of a rare bird to be one of the few to have it in your collection
I don't want to play the blame game, but you have to budget for making debt payments on a car, same thing here. I do get that the unpredictability sucks, and that's why I didn't like it when Biden did this in the first place (note: as a pretty big Biden supporter for other reasons), and a the rest of the blame is at the feet of the pandemic itself, which made tons of stuff unpredictable for everyone. I'm sympathetic to the budgeting surprise, but it's also the kind of thing that happens in life, and especially in these last few weird years.

Amphetamines are beneficial drugs for many people, and the status quo is that anyone can get a legitimate prescription for them by doing little more than asking. It's just a matter of finding a psychiatrist and explaining you have symptoms of ADHD. There are no physical symptoms, so it's impossible to verify one way or the other. Some might say that means that a drug seeking patient can "trick" their prescriber. But I'd argue the entire field of psychiatry is a "trick," and that effectively, if you think you have symptoms of ADHD, then you may as well have it.

If you want to try treatment (amphetamines), then you should have a right to do that. As it stands, you already de facto have this right. But you need to do this whole song and dance with finding a doctor, paying the fees, and getting the pills. Yes, online telemedicine has made this easier to "abuse" (see above: it's not possible to abuse a diagnosis that is fundamentally based on perception of deviance from the mean). But even prior to online psychiatry, it was easy to legally procure such medication with a little extra effort.

We should dispense with this charade and focus on safe and effective treatment of symptoms for those who want to try it. The goal of a prescriber should therefore not be to gatekeep access to the medication, but to manage its dosage and monitor patients for positive outcomes from healthy usage of the medication.
What will happen regarding food: we (third world countries) will receive a massive wave of immigrants from those civilized first world countries who just mutually annihilated themselves like savages.

Schools should have some skin in the game. If one of their former students defaults (regardless of whether they graduated or not) then the school should have to eat part of the cost. This would help to hold down tuition, and force them to be more responsible about admitting students who are unlikely to succeed.
Paying for services doesn't prevent advertising companies from continuing to insert ads. Consumers would be stupid to trust that game as you advise, flock to the membership program and promote continued YouTube dominance. You advise a kind of "penny wise (fewer ads now!) pound foolish (anyone complaining should just start paying them)" approach.

That's for you to decide, and if you (and the other tens of people that think the same) end up leaving the platform that would reduce YouTube's costs, which makes sense for them.

Your argument is basically the same people use for piracy. If you don't want to pay for Photoshop, don't use it. If you don't want to pay for YouTube, don't.
