- Israel intelligence agencies controlling/influencing ADL, ADL pressuring three letter agencies in US to further influence big tech.

- The usual tactics of infiltration into big corps especially ones that can influence public opinions, you can read a little about Roy Bollock case

>The ADL operates as a private intelligence agency, sending spies, infiltrators, disruptors, and agents provocateurs into the camps — both Jewish and non-Jewish — of those who disagree with its view of Jewish interests. Also like an intelligence agency, it maintains a huge database containing personal information on politicians, writers, dissidents, activists, publishers, bloggers, and even unaffiliated private citizens so that — should any of these people “get out of line,” in the opinion of the ADL — they can be threatened, “exposed,” blackmailed, and thus silenced with maximum effectiveness. [1]

- And especially for Facebook with their shady business, they live on selling the users data to advertisers, the company won’t do anything to cut that money flow, take a look at twitter in the same case how ADL managed to cut around 60% of ads companies, it’s mostly about money and influence.

especially when they take double the time a normal airplane would.

If trains took double (or even 3 times) what an airplane took they would definitely be an alternative. Given the choice between a 1-2 hour flight and a 3-5 hour train ride, I virtually always choose the train. Especially since the train drops me in the centre of the city I'm going to

The problem is they often take 10+ times what the airplane takes. From where I live to Paris or Zurich is either a 2 hour direct flight from the airport 30 minutes down the road or literally 20+ hours and 5-8 transfers by train.
Why is M$ even in the discourse on broswers?

Sure their sales team is extremely aggressive in corporations and bribe/take out to expensive concerts/sportsball games to sell Power Automate/Office crap.

But from a consumer level, there is almost no reason to use Microsoft services in 2023. Maybe if you are a hardcore gamer and need 60kfpsUltra the day a game is released.
Call what you want then, but the system isn't set up to keep you out - there's no money in that - it's to get you in and keep you there as long as reasonably possible. Sure there's plenty of window dressing to disguise the underlying intent and structure but that doesn't change its core values.
Meanwhile, airlines fly tens of thousands of empty flights a year, polluting the atmosphere, to "avoid losing take-off and landing slots".

There is a slight amount of salt in the rivers, but it is very low.

In the oceans, this accumulates, but the water evaporates. Hence the salt content goes up whilst the water volume remains constant (ignoring ice melt) which means the salt concentration goes up.

Those benefits don't require us being stalked around our entire online lives: the online store already knows when I bought a toothbrush¹. Unless they are trying to argue that telling every retailer on the planet when I last bought a toothbrush, or other healthcare products, is a good idea?!

Same for the birthday card if I bought one online. This example is even worse: potentially not just tracking my personal information but that of another person too, much like Facebook's “shadow profiles” for people who aren't even using the service themselves.

If you're a landlord you're most likely not borrowing large amounts on the properties you're renting out. Its more common that those properties were bought years before when prices were achievable.

> I suspect that much more of the rental purchases are driven by small investment companies

On this topic, yes for new builds, pretty much investment companies will come in and buy them up prior to being built. This has always been a thing, but is not helping the situation for normal people just looking to buy somewhere to live.

Edit : Another infuriating thing they did was for the 2022 Census, the obfoscuated so much of the data, made a presentation in powerpoint and after easily 20 mins of searching : https://www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cpp2/cens...

> I'd rather have my machine present this kind of data than have a network of unknown third-parties collaborate by sharing bits about me to build a profile.

That’s a bit like saying you’d rather have cameras inside your house streaming your every move than have paparazzi at your door.

In the current model, the third parties have to fight and spend resources to get an imperfect profile of you, while you can make their life harder every step of the way. But your browser has access to information those third-parties could never have; it can make a profile from real data without you having the chance to block it.

Both are bad for privacy, but the new method is way worse and has the potential to become even more invasive. What if Chrome decides to share your bookmarks? Or settings from your extensions? Or specific pages you visit, including private GitHub repositories for your company? Or full URLs with sensitive keys in them?
And only 2 years later Rust 1.0 was released with a borrow checker (which is not mentioned in the blog post). I think one of the reasons why Rust turned out to be so well-designed is that Rust has a very open development approach where people with many different experiences can share their wisdom. Many other languages follow the design of a few people, but Rust is really a language of the internet community.
> Anything that works like existing rechargeable batteries. Those would be considered conventional batteries.

Ok, that definition works.

I would have gone with 'whatever people (in the future or now) use for powering their phones, laptops and electric cars' is by definition 'conventional' at that point in time.
Hope you will like it! It's not open source yet, whether or not may depends I think, and there's a lot of clean-up to be done before that.
You’re making and taking this quite personally.

The usual solution from libertarian techies is to remove what little power democratic governments have and let big business be unchecked other than some “invisible hand” from a collection of individual actors who can’t scale due to psychological warfare that big companies can easily scale to.

We are now at a point that billionaires openly make unilateral decisions about foreign and defence policy with little discussion in public eyes, let alone checks and balances.
> Before I start working on a feature, I simulate how it's going to work in my head and try to identify all the hurdles and alternatives; sometimes several levels down in the hypothetical component/module hierarchy. I do brainstorms, draw diagrams and make lists of pros-and-cons. I use as many visual aids as I can get.

Remarkably, this is how 37Signal's Shape Up (https://basecamp.com/shapeup) encourages defining feature work prior to building.

In particular, the concepts of Rabbit Hole (as explored with senior developers prior to coding), Breadboarding and Fat Marker Sketches (having a high-level but end-to-end map of the feature) are almost identical to what you're describing.

I found this approach both intuitive in my personal development work, and as a tech lead for lean teams. Funnily, quite a few people really struggle with the concept of "thinking through the feature end-to-end", and not just "let's start with one piece and then figure it out". It's great to do development in small chunks with unknowns, but we still need to know what we are all trying to achieve!

(not affiliated with Shape Up / Basecamp, I just feel Jira leads to hugely suboptimal and waterfall-y processes).
The peripherals don’t “malfunction” in the strict sense, they’re just not good. To their credit, the mic and cam do have hard kill switches.

Also, the built-in fingerprint reader works great on Ubuntu and Fedora (Fedora even has it integrated with the terminal).

For more context, I rarely use laptops in my lap; I work from home and prefer at least some semblance of ergonomics, so for me they’re really just “easily-movable computers” i.e. I can work from the basement when needed, and on the dinner table when the house is empty.

"Standard" android users scare me more than windows users in terms of what they are willing to bear to use their devices.

Windows end users usually end up with lots of crappy unneeded proprietary software for tasks that people shouldn't even need to do with their pc's and (at least with versions prior to 11, I really don't know if things improved) end up with so many ads and background processes that they have to reinstall the OS periodically. It is like Christmas for them: it happens every year.

Android end users seem to have accepted a mentality: the app will steal your personal data or throw ads at you. Even paid ones. They simply act like that is a normal thing, a law of the nature.

When I show windows users the clean world of linux distros and when I show android users the clean world of F-droid they get deeply impressed until one ask "What about MSOffice?" or the other ask "What about whatsapp?". That is the problem with current end users: they are dependent on proprietary software. To fix the world of devices we need to break this dependency.

Don't fool yourself: even if you don't depend on any proprietary software, it still affects you: when you need to buy new hardware, use a service or wants to use a software, it may sometimes not be available for you because you decided not to agree with the abuse. You won't be even able to communicate if you don't agree to use a proprietary app. Fixing the world for ourselves will require fixing the world for "end users" too. And with an added difficulty: the other side is currently very effective in convincing their users that the abuse is normal, a good price to pay or that it improves their experience or security. It is for your own good, they say.
The convenience for me would be in time shifting the labor. Sometimes (read: often) I want to sit and zone out for 15 minutes, but I almost never want to deal with transferring a powdered substance from one container to another, especially not after the rigamarole of loading the dishwasher. In theory the powder could go in first, or at some other time, but my brain just isn't like that.

I bought a new dishwasher (and it's not as good as the old one :/), in the instruction manual it says you can use some configuration to tell it it's hooked up to hot water.

It makes sense to hook it up to a hot water line, given things like solar collectors and heat exchangers heating / pre-heating water.

There are a few (not that many) things that break on the internet if you turn off third-party cookies, but "I'm no longer being tracked without consent" is not one of them. It's one of the big reasons to get rid of third-party cookies, not an unfortunate side-effect.
That's interesting. Whenever I have an issue with a flag it gets picked up on dev/test/uat environments (all gets tested, especially around the code behaving the same as before with the flag off). The code change never reaches production. And if for some reason the code under the flag is wrong, and it has reached production (something unexpected, unseen), undoing the change is whatever long it takes to switch the flag back (and the cache to update if you have a cache).
This may sound relatively off topic. But, in defense of my argument, please consider that GitHub was s actually the only SDLC available for git. Then came gitlab, gitea, forgejo, etc. Among those, this self-hostable tool is really outstanding: https://code.onedev.io/onedev/server/~files/main/readme.md

Of course, having one of these apps that is yet-another-github with a local-first approach might turn to be great DX!
You don't give enough information to know what you actually did, but I am pretty sure you're splitting hairs here... IntelliJ's "grep" is incredibly fast and has the huge benefit that you can keep an iteractive list of matches and go through them in the search window without leaving the search, even edit the matches manually if you want.

> suck badly when you enter road less traveled.

It seems you just decided that's the case without any sort of rationale behind it. Please give a real example I can try instead of hand waving.
If enough people switch these settings off, Google will just re-enable them "accidentally" during the next auto-update. Or hide them altogether. This is their business model. They didn't create Chrome out of the goodness of their hearts: it was created to impose their rules on the internet. And since their business model relies on tracking people, that is what they will do. Refusing by deleting Chrome is the only way to oppose this.

Incidentally, I think people working on these features should be ashamed.
> Unfortunately, the vast majority of users don't want to spend a dime on any digital good ever.

The subscriber count for Netflix, Disney+, Spotify, etc. easily disproves this. Please, while making a good argument, try not to include grandiose overstatements that discredit your entire position for no good reason.
Also, when it asks you if you want to turn it on and you say “hell, no”, it will turn on a couple of other settings while it is turning that one off.

Make sure you go to chrome://settings/adPrivacy and review and re-disable those.

I agree 150%. I often find myself, after finishing a "big" application, thinking "well, this must have been thousands of lines". Then I run sloccount or wc and I'm always surprised with how few lines of code I have. The thing is, as you say, I spend more time thinking than writing.
That's OK, that's your choice. I believe most dishwashers will work with either.

My dishwasher is connected to a hot water tap and also heats its own water to exactly the correct temperature... it just doesn't need to heat it as much because it's connected to a hot water line.

Here's the install guide of a random dishwasher selling in Germany right now: https://media3.bosch-home.com/Documents/9000521334_L.pdf

It says to connect to a water source with these characteristics:

* Pressure: 0,05 - 1 MPa (0,5 - 10 bar)
* Temperature: max 60°C

It doesn't specify a minimum temperature although I assume it'd have to be >=1°C. But it is clear you can connect to either a hot or a cold water line.

There's a board game, Star Fleet Battles, which is superficially set in a fork of the (original) Star Trek animated series[0], but the mechanics are all much closer to ~WW2-to-cold-war naval combat[1].

Ruby and Perl has the -n switches to provide that boilerplate. E.g Ruby:

ruby -nae 'print $.," ",$F[1],"\n" if $_ =~ /^[A-Za-z]/'

-n wraps an implicit "while gets; ... ;end" around the code; "-a" adds an implicit "$F = $_.split" at the start of the loop; "-" takes an expression from the command line; $_ contains the result of the `gets`; $. contains the line number of the last line read.

Alternatively:

ruby -ne '$_.match(/^[A-Za-z]+(.*)/) { puts "#{$.}#{$1}" }'

`match` sets $1, $2 etc to the corresponding capture group, and calls the block if successful.

The scaffolding would be easy to provide w/Python too, but the extra Awk/Perl-isms to make it convenient is another matter (and while I use them occasionally for one-liners, I will get shouty if I find $1 etc. in production code...).

Even the Ruby differences are sufficient extra noise that I still reach for awk for simple stuff like that.
