If you get ages can be seen to have the same legal cognitive patters as an adult, why shouldn't they also have the same rights as an adult?

I see a comment like this on every discussion about ads for businesses, despite the fact that incrementality is easy to measure and quite good for a lot of businesses.
> it's a consenting relationship between sellers and consumers

This is so outlandish that I feel you almost must be trolling. It's explicitly not consentual. I don't want to see ads. Any ads. Any ads at all. Never. I would be perfectly happy never seeing a single ad in my life and I am 100% confident that I would never regret that choice. I go to great lengths to make myself as annoying as possible to advertisers, making gdpr requests, using browsers that refuse all cookies even when it means I have to constantly sign in and/or automate consent forms, asking for breakdowns of all data stored on me etc.

Despite all this, I still see at least two or three dozen ads every day.

We're supposed to do individual scans. If I walk through a door that someone is holding for me I can my badge and make a quip about Big Brother. A lot of people don't scan in these situations and I think that's a mistake. Our employer is absolutely tracking badge scans against employees who are supposed to be RTO.
Republicans don't get blamed for the government shutdowns because of signs or fences by national monuments. They get blamed because they are at fault, whether that's trying to cut the increasingly popular ACA purely out of spite to Obama in 2013, or party infighting like this year or 2018.
> it is rare that a language doubles its market share (assuming it's not in the vicinity of zero) after its first decade

JavaScript, Python, and Ruby are all counter-examples. Erlang and Haskell might as well.

I don't think time plays such an important factor. A language may exist for 20 years and then a large corporation or an all encompassing framework draws attention to it, leading to unforeseen growth.

> In other words, if you're not at 5% market share by age 10, chances are low you'll ever reach 10%.

This won't happen for 99% of programming languages and it shouldn't be a goal or even a comparison point. For example, on GitHub language stats [1], only three languages have more than 10% activity, only 7 within 5% activity. Pick other rankings, market share related or not, and you will find similar numbers. Tiobe lists SQL, Go, and PHP all below 2% and I don't think anyone could argue they failed at market success.

> So getting to 1% and generating hype is not as hard as showing stable and growth and getting a large community that sticks with you for over a decade.

Given all of the above, I strongly disagree. Getting to 1% is incredibly hard.

I can't say I've read any that I could recommend. I have heard nice things about Princeton Companion to Applied Mathematics (TOC: https://assets.press.princeton.edu/chapters/c10592.pdf) but I haven't ready it personally, and it seems to be more of a reference text and have less stuff relevant to programming specifically.

Thats interesting, do you know how Kherson agriculture looked before the damn?
> In simple terms, here’s what really happens: During the lifetime of a tree, it drops seeds. These seeds take root and become new, younger trees. When the old tree dies, it decomposes slowly over a period of years, releasing the carbon it stored. But all of the new, younger trees seeded by the old tree are there to take up all that carbon and then some. So carbon that’s released from dead trees is recaptured fairly quickly by its children.

Okay, here's where it loses me. So even by their own admission, a forest's carbon sync potential basically caps off once the trees are mature.

So even the basic math doesn't work out - even if you rewilded as much land as there was pre-civilization, you are more or less just returning to a stable amount of carbon. But you are not accounting for all of the "new" carbon in our system pulled out from fossil fuels.

In my mind, foresting is only a valid carbon solution if you harvest it. If a mature tree has taken up as much carbon as it can, it seems to make the most sense to cut it down, and either turn it into durable products (mass timber construction) or landfill it.
> This system gives police a cause to go out looking for that situation, and a reason to arrive ready to shoot. Like come on man, the entire thing could not be better designed to push police into shooting folks.

I don't know how you can get data with such a tiny spend, to be honest.

From experience, I would have thought at _least_ $2000 per test.

I've been doing PPC stuff for 20 years. As soon as someone tells me they are doing PPC I ask them how they enjoy setting fire to all their money. Unless you have oodles of time to spend optimizing it and measuring it, you are guaranteed to just burn all your cash. It is very, very hard to win on PPC. One of the biggest problems is that unknowledgeable people in each domain are bidding on PPC ads without monitoring their spending or conversions and wasting their money, but their ads are bumping up the price of yours too.
Please elaborate in a couple examples how you think one could have done better if suggesting it is straw man. It feels like an effective logical conclusion of what the critiques usually say.
Should the Presidency be a special case?

It is a special case.

Unless you are saying we need to abolish the position entirely and just rely on the legislative and judicial branches of the government on their own.

But until that happens the presidency is a very specific position that only one person holds. But at the end of the day, Congress as a whole holds more power, so term limits in Congress I would consider much more impactful (in a bad way) than term limits on the presidency.
I agree. I don't think Facebook thinks for a second about privacy related issues.
I’d expect vendor divergence and lock-in to ramp up almost immediately. It only doesn’t happen now because Google does so much work for them for free, that it’s not worth the cost. If they have to pick that up, they’ll get all shitty and proprietary about it ASAP.

Kind of unfortunate timing as I recently decided to make it a priority to upgrade a VM Windows 7 install this way. I actually started the process a week before the deadline but ran into a cryptic error I didn't have time to resolve.
Right? This isn't a bug and it's pretty out there to think it is. If it's the last open tab, there are no 'tabs' at that point, it's a single browser window. So closing it, closes the browser! Good luck convincing a Safari dev that there's a bug there. The expected behaviour for "close" is "close".
While I agree with most of your comment (and upvoted it), I'm not sure about this:

> While the Free part of FOSS is being substituted by “(just) open source” and “source available”,

Free software and open source are the same category of software and licenses (except for sporadic instances that are at the very edge of that one category, as categories tend to be blurred).

Software that is merely source available, of course, is not FLOSS by default. But I don't actually see free software being replaced by software which is just source available.

There are companies trying to push source available proprietary software as "open source", perhaps hoping for such replacement, and this has had some success in some specific areas, but the open source community is pushing against it. Or, at least, the wise ones in it are.

I'd bet a ton of EU programmers would have preferred staying in EU to work because there's actually jobs there. Or jobs that don't just pay $75k.

It's not just privacy regulations hurting EU, those are easier to defend, it's the general deep rooted nature which makes that the automatic solution to every single problem without regard for the bigger picture. And those policies are always a one way street whether it benefited every one or not in retrospect.

What's the end goal? A perfectly regulated, moral economy that never grows and relies on immigrants to stabilize GDP numbers?

If these new regs also came at the same pace as reforms for previous ones that actively hurt these countries it'd be way easier to agree with as a general rule. Instead it's just another one thrown on the pile and the only new jobs are for administrators to enforce them.
If only there were an alternative software development modality in which development is distributed, source available, and modification permitted to any party, with open review and analysis for vulnerabilities, and far less capacity for lock-in.

When I visited Arecibo (which I highly recommend but the way - one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen), the intern giving me a tour told me that Arecibo was essentially the main way we had to detect asteroids that might hit earth. Without it, we may not have enough time to launch an asteroid redirect mission.

If that’s accurate, it seems penny wise and pound foolish to have spent ~$300 million on the DART test but then not spend the extra ~$50 million needed to actually detect an asteroid coming towards us.

I don't use IG enough to fully understand their ads, but I think the ads are well integrated on Facebook and TikTok, and also well-targeted. I regularly click on ads and buy products from TikTok. There are tons of offers I get to test out advertising at a huge discount on both platforms which would be worth someone taking advantage of to see if it fits your niche. On Facebook you only need some text and an image, but on TikTok you would have to go to the trouble of creating a video, but you could pay someone from Fiverr if you didn't care too much about the quality (which isn't a huge issue on TikTok as lower quality can often come across as more authentic).

Microsoft seems to be very confused on how to monetize Windows (for end user computing at least). It seems like they jump back and forth between:

"Do we include ads?"

"Sell telemetry data?"

"Try to force users to use our browser/search engine to generate ad impressions?"

"Should we just make the whole thing free?"

Personally, I wish they'd just make home editions free as in beer, make it up by charging businesses the CAL bullshit and office/o365 licenses. They need to develop and support those things anyways, home user revenue must be a drop in the bucket compared to Azure/O365. Especially since OEM PC/laptop purchases generate even less revenue for the Windows license included.

Doing so would also make sure your user base is familiar with using Windows on their home devices and carry that over to business use cases. Otherwise tablets not running Windows will continue to eat their lunch.
Their impact is often low or even ignored. They are not in charge.

I've long been interested in low-code, because it's one of those things where the benefits seem obvious, but become less obvious the more you think about it.

In some cases the benefits are plain to see. For instance, if you needed to represent a squiggly line in SVG, the natural movement of a user's hand guiding a digital pencil is going to be far superior than writing out each x/y position in a vector path.

But other use cases aren't so clear, and in fact, many tasks could be made far more efficient with a textual interface.

I think the reason people assume that code is time-consuming or complex, is because historically it's been used to solve complex problems that non-technical users don't understand. So in other words, they don't understand the problem domain. My theory is that if they understood the problem domain, then they could understand any formal syntax dedicated to the domain.

As an example, the following pseudo-code:

begin dishwashing:
gather(plates)
sink.load(plates)
each plate(rinse)
each plate(dishwasher.load)
dishwasher.on()
end dishwashing

Everyone understands the problem domain (how to wash dishes), so even though someone may be unfamiliar with historical programming conventions and syntax, they should be able to grasp what the code does.

Taking control away from the owner of networks is a good thing. Control is supposed to reside with the owner of endpoints. To see why, imagine if your ISP started to MITM all of your connections that went over their network.

Examples are on the adviser pages: http://www.catb.org/esr/loadsharers/, http://flent-fremont.bufferbloat.net/~d/lbip/. It seems like there will be more advisers and more candidates soon. My interpretation is that this is not about funding organizations, it's about funding independent open-source developers who maintain critical software.

A couple interesting (to me) candidates:

> Simon Kelley. (Simon promises a Patreon link soon) Maintains Dnsmasq, the most widely-used DNS implementation in the world, essentially solo.

> Paul Eggert. Maintains the IANA timezone database. Ubiquitous in key open-source projects for decades.

I don't know anything about Eric S. Raymond but it seems like everyone in the thread so far has pretty negative opinions of him, and I agree it's not a great look that he listed himself as a candidate here.
