My argument isn't quantitative, it's predicting how the policy will impact incentives and thus peoples' future behavior. Incentives matter in policy construction, but not everything that matters can be put on a chart or in a table of numbers.
My wife is currently 9 months pregnant so my social feeds are essentially just baby content. I appreciate all the content new mothers put out, but I can’t shake the icky feeling I get from some channels that will place the spotlight on the child right from birth.
It sounds like the best approach is to invest in a FOSS alternative that uses the metaphors you are used to.

I'm sure it's unrealistic for a small design house to do it on their own, but that doesn't mean the industry couldn't band together.

I wonder what would happen if everyone donated 10% of their Autodesk licensing fees to a foundation, or if a big shop decided to hire a dozen autodesk veterans for a few years.
What I've learned running multilingual online conferences for an OSS project
How many times have you married that person you "had the hots for" assuming you are a woman?
Maybe it also has to do with the % of females that are desirable to marry?
(I assume you mean the worker bees) You think it's intentional of the neoliberal beehive? First driving women into the workforce doubling profits and then turn people into worker bees without any future. Perhaps the suicide rates once they grow old and retire into poverty will also have some economic benefit. Of course it's swarm intelligence, hard to understand the logic of some bee or ant in a colony, it won't be a conscious decision.
> I'm pretty sure the actual reason the Content ID and copyright strike system exists because Google was tired of getting sued by everybody.

The way the DMCA was supposed to work, the claimant submits a notice and the site takes it down, the user submits a counternotice and the site puts it back up, and now if the claimant still wants to proceed, the site has nothing to do with it anymore and they go to court against the user.

But the users don't have any money, and there are tons of them, so instead they went to court against the site. Which is the exact thing the DMCA was supposed to prevent.

Part of the reason for this is that pre-Google YouTube did some shady things that gave them an excuse. But then we have the other problem with the law. If you screw up, the penalties are unreasonable, which allows litigious plaintiffs to extract unreasonable concessions. And the same is true even if you didn't screw up, because the alternative is to spend a crazy amount of money on lawyers because the stakes are high.
It’s a nice summary, I might steal that.
> In practice, cool URLs can become inaccessible

No, they can’t. By definition, if they do that they are no longer cool.

Of course, Reddit and Twitter URLs were never especially cool in the first place. They’re particularly uncool now. Tragically unhip, you might even say.
That sounds excruciating. If possible, I suggest using email-to-RSS to solve that problem in the future.
In the history of humanity? That reads to me like you are not very familiar with history. We are probably living in the period of the least wealth inequality in all of human history.

The typical “poor” person living in the USA lives in the lap of luxury (in terms of clothing, food, shelter, etc) compared to a serf in medieval Europe, a peasant under the Assyrians, etc. I mean, how many poor people have running water, electricity, Air Conditioning, etc.? Can you imagine a poor person from 3,000 years ago seeing that and then hearing talk about wealth inequality? It would sound insane.

Cesar Augustus was worth $4.6 Trillion. That’s a pretty huge wealth disparity to a common person back then. What about Mansa Musa? His wealth was so vast that nobody even knows how to put a number to it. Do you think the common people under him were rich?

> is a problem that can be mitigated server-side

No matter what you do, this will cost server infra. That's Musk's argument for disabling access altogether.

Therefore it would make sense to have a solution which burdens the client disproportionately in relation to the server. A burden so low for the casual user that it's negligible but in aggregate, at scale, would break things. Which is what he wants.

Meh, I thought this in my early 20s.

But if nothing else, marriage is an agreement that you’re not just gonna nope out when there’s adversity or when something better comes along. It’s a powerful mutual gesture.

If you aren’t compelled by that idea, there’s someone out there who will. Maybe you have to dump your current 6-year-long situationship to go look for them, but hey, it’s not like you’re married. ;)
>The state college systems stand a much better chance of educating a larger number of more diverse people, especially dollar for dollar.

I wouldn't mind seeing the spread of UT Austin's automatic admissions system, where Texas high school seniors are accepted if they graduate in the top 6% of their class [1]. This gives representation across all of Texas, regardless of the resources or demographics of any given high school. State universities need to get back to serving their states at large, and not filling their classes with out-of-staters who pay full freight.

I don't think it's purely economic. I think birth control plus legalized abortion changed relationships, and those happened at roughly the same time. (Roe v. Wade was 1972, IIRC.)

The decline of religion also probably plays a role here. You'd have a hard time blaming that on the end of the gold standard.

I mean, sure, economics almost certainly plays a role. But it's not the sole cause.
Whoa, you mean if only we were still on the gold standard, then I'd be worthy of love? #Im14&AustrianEconomicsIsDeep
I've been hoping for it for so long - I wonder if there's enough interest that someone could do a GoFundMe to hire at least one full time dev lol.
My recommendation would be Fedora Silverblue[0].

I have for years used different flavors of Ubuntu and Arch, but must admit, I always had some issues, no matter the distro. Mind you, purely counting the problems, the amount was either comparable or slightly less than what I tended to encounter on Windows installs, but still, I get that adding any issues on top of less familiarity and lower software compatibility is a hard sell for the average person.

Then, I tried Fedora, more specifically Silverblue, for the first time in a while and was blown away. Everything worked. More to the point, I could not break the install even when actively trying to. Software was bleeding edge but stable, the kernel the most current version without issues, immutability prevents even the most idiotic mistake on the user's part, no update ever caused any issue. The concurrent rise of Proton and Bottles for Games made it even more appealing.

Then, something followed that would cement my reverence for Silverblue: At the time, I had recently gotten an AMD Renoir based laptop. Silverblue ran perfectly, GPU acceleration, sleep, connectivity, all out of the box as if the notebook had been designed for Fedora.

Still, I made a Windows install as a fallback. Unlike with Silverblue which, thanks to Kernel support for the GPU, needed no additional configuration, Windows of course required drivers from AMD. Upon installing them, I quickly noticed crashes, instability and resolution issues. Turned out, Windows update had overwritten the newest driver I had installed with an older, incompatible version. No problem, I thought, annoying and not something one should have to troubleshoot on a for-profit OS, but manageable. Used DDU to remove that, installed the current driver, again, overwritten by Windows Update. Repeated the process, this time manually blacklisting the specific update. Still, that got consistently and painfully reset every time there was an update.

I understand that not everyone believes in having full control over their system. I also understand that delivering drivers via Windows Update is a valuable tool for some people. But if those drivers are faulty, taking away any graphics acceleration and causing crashes and you take away my ability to address that issue by overwriting my changes, I have a hard time seeing my money well spent at Microsoft.

Since then, I have migrated away from Windows entirely. It helps that I prefer single player story driven experiences and rhythm games, both being well covered by Proton thanks to the general lack of AntiCheat.

Aside from my Fedora systems, I have a MBP, but Ventura has its pain points as well. Simply, nothing has ever been as rock solid as Fedora Silverblue and, as much as Red Hat is currently heading in the wrong direction[1], I have to give them credit for Silverblue and Fedora Workstation. Those continue to prove more stable than anything I have ever experienced with Windows, macOS or any other Linux distro, regardless of hardware.

It’s amazing that the same tech people (I am one) are now whining that technology is coming along to take their job. But were telling “lower skilled” workers they should adapt and “learn to code”.

I guess people who are complaining should learn how to do the skilled trades - electricians, plumbers, HVAC, car repair.

> If you’re an experienced developer and still randomly submitting your resume to an ATS instead of depending on your network you’re doing it wrong.

Then I "do it wrong" about half the time! There's a lot of tech out there to explore and if I'm only tethered to my (now many-)siloed network, I'm not going to see it all.

Honestly, hiring "networked" people is also hit or miss. There are a lot of decent IC devs with meh friends; combine that with scattershot hiring practices. And I've seen creepy empire building happen via external hires of networks of friends before, too.

I don't think there's a silver bullet.
No. Coercion implies force, I’m not using any force on you by deciding not to service you. Stop trying to change definitions.

Blackmail where someone’s physical property is stolen and held ransom is force. False allegations to the police to induce an arrest is a threat of force. Theft of physical property or staying on someone else’s property is literal physical force. What force am I using on you or your things when I decide not to host you on my website?

To address the prisoners, lights and sound are arguably force, the extent at which it’s acceptable is up for debate. Not giving you food or healthcare is not force. However, being forced to be exposed to lights and sound, and being stopped from getting food and healthcare yourself is absolutely force. And you don’t get to combine actual physical threats with things that are not force to pretend like they are force.

He is, but he is also a convenient scapegoat here.

The US was running up debts with post-WWII behavior for quite a while, especially with wars in Korea and Vietnam. This is what Charles de Gaulle was talking about when he referred to the US' "exorbitant privilege" in 1965 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exorbitant_privilege) before repatriating France's gold. Multiple presidents preceeded Nixon and continued promoting expansionist policy and meddling in foreign countries with war (that the US could not afford if not for our exorbitant privilege), mostly to compete with or try asserting dominance over USSR.

Certainly the Soviet Union was expansionist, but many of its top functionaries were not from Russia. Stalin and Kaganovich, responsible for the Holodomor, were from Georgia and Ukraine.

Other leaders like Brezhnev were born in Ukraine or had ties to it. A Georgian woman alleges to be Putin's mother (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Putina) and looks quite similar on the Wikipedia photo.

Thanks for the feedback. I try to call out in several places in the app that 2009 - 2020 is backtest only, but perhaps I need to make it more clear. No one should ever expect a model to trade as well in live trading as it backtests, and that's been true of nearly all our models (save the anomaly of TA-MR-Basic). However, there's more than enough room in the returns and drawdowns to underperform the backtest while still producing significant alpha, which is what we've seen with 4/7 models and especially with the top two.

However, the April 2009 start date is not actually random--it's the first start date for which intraday futures data is available for more than just front month contract. Several derivative indicators of the VIX futures curve are the most foundational to all the VIX-based models, and they simply cannot be processed without it. The VIX futures were only created in 2004, and I've scoured the internet for intraday data for more than just front month (can't create the curve if you only have front month data), and the earliest it can be found is April 2009.

> "I subscribed to 'Object' magazine, and still recall one article breathlessly predicting that in the future bespoke development would become bunk as folks would just buy e.g. an Aircraft object off the peg and plug it into their application. "

One drum I keep beating is that COM in Windows is amazing for scripting and interoperability between programs. Before PowerShell and "everything is an object [but you're stuck in one .NET process]" there was COM. From Python, from VBScript, from ActivePerl, even in Powershell to break out of .NET, from C# and Java, you could do their language equivalent of:

$snmp = new-object -ComObject olePrn.OleSNMP
$snmp.open('127.0.0.1', 'snmp_community', 2, 1000)
$snmp.get('.1.3.6.1.2.1.1.3.0')

and voila, pluggable SNMP engine into any script in any Windows scripting or programming language. Use it in Excel in Visual Basic for Applications and update your spreadsheet with SNMP results. Then embed the Excel spreadsheet in a Word document. Ppen PowerShell on Windows and run this code[1] to query all registered ones, 1744 on my system, surely some are useful or fun?

Want to read JPG headers? Lean on Explorer to do it, without needing a JPG metadata library in every language. Want to integrate with Windows Text to Speech, or Excel, or Dyalog APL or send a fax from JScript or automate a browser or whatever? COM objects are there.

And it's a world being thrown away in favour of "simply download a Selenium wrapper for every language" and "simply do an OAUTH login to a web service to interface with a styled sluggish CRUD text system". And that's a shame, because web developers, macOS users, Linux users, smartphone users, don't know what they're missing. I'm sympathetic to it being apparently horrible to program the backend in C++, but this world you're scoffing at actually existed and has good features especially for the casual hacker who wants to use system-wide standard interfaces to large and powerful engines, with client and server written in differing languages.

I’m not aware of a general “civil rights” exception to standing—can you cite your source?

But there is a 1st amendment exception—because of the “chilling effect” of restricting speech it’s allowed to sue even if a law hasn’t directly affected you. Which seems to be the case for this one.

Sorry but it's a lot less conspirational than that. The early 70s is when the long post-war economic boom ended, and corporate profits globally began to contract for an extended period of time, long wave decline. Along with it came a longer term trend of declining take-home earning rights, a huge decline in unionization, waves of inflation followed by severe recessions, etc.

The gold standard stuff is hilariously reductionist.
