I'd say the difference is pretty simple: true evidence needs to be verifiable. Scientific studies provide evidence by describing the experiments/procedures needed to reproduce its claims.

Evidence for untrue things is still evidence, if it is verifiable. However, there is such thing as "no evidence". Crazy Carl's claim by itself would not be verifiable, therefore it is not evidence.
> Tech is supposed to fuck prices up. Google once upon a time did it for email, chat, video, search etc. I don't see why it can't happen with everything. We need grand goals not just how to add 6 more cameras into another fucking phone.

Which raises the question: Are these actually tech companies? Or simply 21st Century advertising (platform) companies - dependant on technology - whose primary goal is to exploit human nature for profit?

Abandon the idea that these are still tech companies and the world makes more sense (and gets more dystopian).
The fines aren't large enough to be materially impactful to governments. So if it's rent seeking, it's a poor job of it.

I'd expect they're at the levels they are because laws atrophied during the 80s - 00s, and this is indeed the maximum remedy that can currently be sought.

Providing for tighter penalty scaling with relation to company size would go a long way to fixing this, including for small firms.

I'm not going retro but I am trying to downsize. I used to have 3 monitors and 2 desktops in my office. I now have 1 monitor and 1 desktop. My end goal is to get comfortable with doing everything on a single Macbook. I really want to be rid of all the distracting crap. I feel like 3 monitors made me lazy and undisciplined.

Imagine being able to close your laptop, get in the car and not have to think for one second about whether or not you brought the appropriate accessories for productivity. This is about where I am at now. The big, multi-monitor battle stations are a prison.

The technology should serve the human. Not the other way around. Constructing a small datacenter in your own home is probably a good example of the later case.
Piggybacking to say I really like GP's suggestion of a living demo the user can jump right into after onboarding.

> Most scripts just defend against the file existing

To me, any code calling a `DoesFileExist(filename)` type of function is a code smell.

There is no point to checking if the file exists. None. Ever![1]

There is never a case where this is useful. The only times I see code that checks for the existence of a file is when, on subsequent lines, the file is used as if it exists (no error-checking on open), which is a bug.

A line in code that checks for the existence of a file correlates, in my experience, very strongly with using that particular file in that specific buggy manner.

[1] You might say that it's to provide a better user experience, such as "Your config file does not exist, do you want to create it?" or similar, but that's still buggy if you're determining whether the file exists by checking existence.

I’ve many times had the experience of trying to debug someone’s computer problem, and trying to describe how to fix something, I couldn’t think of what to do in words. So I said, “my hands know where the answer is” and once I had the mouse I clicked around and did the task fairly quickly. I wonder if that was the cerebellum solving the problem for me?

I'm tired of this nukes argument. The morality arises from having a great power and not using it to destroy everything. US could have used nukes against Russia or against any other country. They did not. But perhaps they should have considering how much evil it enabled to prosper in Russia and China, resulting in torturous deaths of tens of millions of people.

Better analysis here than in the SIEVE paper, imho.

Ultimately, the right eviction policy depends on the application behavior, and you'll only find the right answer through profiling against actual data from service logs... and the difference between miss rates isn't large so I really don't think it should even be the first thing that gets profiled.. use LRU or LFU (based on intuition about usage) and move on. But I do love to see newly proposed algorithms, more tools for the bag.
One of the earliest examples of proof of burn that I can remember was around 2013 where counterparty was selling the first (?) tokens using the bitcoin network. Their application used an invalid multi-sig address to send your bitcoin to that would effectively burn it as there would never be a private key that could spend it (can't remember the full details here). Addresses that sent money in would then have tokens available to use on their application layer.

I believe this is actually where the term was first coined as well. What it means now I'm not sure, don't follow crypto.

I don't know if it's specifically 16+ years down the line. However, my understanding is that the model for most writers (i.e. those who don't become famous) is to keep writing books and develop a fanbase over time and/or gain a little over time from each book in the hope that eventually the aggregate is enough to switch to writing full time.
It's the lie that counts. From Sam Harris' book "Lying" (I've read it 4-5 years ago so I won't try to quote it), the most important thing that I kept is "not telling the whole truth is also lying". This is what Apple did.

And when the lie helps to boost sales then the presumption of innocence goes bye-bye.

This is what did it for me with Apple. I'm in the EU so most like won't get a penny from them, but it's ok, they will never get a penny from me ever again (AFAIK)

> Parisian accent as the most prestigious and neutral accent

you are going to offend the Normans with these digs :-)

The most effective way to learn to speak French might be to land somewhere you enjoy being, that would be my number one criterion I think.

Paris is a fine choice if you like the city. You might end up sounding Parisian from the rest of the world of course. Your foreign accent will probably be stronger anyway.
It's not possible to live without a smart phone - at least need a phone with rich text messaging. I have iPhone 11 with no need or desire to upgrade. With busy family stuff text communication is an absolute must. I dont use any social media at all so texting is also how I keep connected to extended family and remote friends. I dont really use any apps on my phone besides the podcasts app and Spotify.

For watch I always just use a $20 timex digital watch. Always works. Battery lasts forever.

I have a 2019 MacBook Pro with 32GB ram and dont see any need to upgrade it.

I am fairly old school unix command line and VIM user. I use VIM plugins in IDEs.
I'm a fan of heat pumps, but as a Canadian living in the UK I think the _first_ steps should be things like finding and patching up drafts, using double-glazed windows with low-e coatings, and improving insulation.

Its worth noting...there are sub systems upon subsystems at play here. I'll bet there are probably around 100 discrete computers within a modern lithography tool. It is more like (well...literally is) a network as opposed to a single computer.

Agree. It's safe to ignore such articles. On the other hand, we'd do ourselves a disservice if we ignored: a fine is not a fine if it doesn't cause pain.

As it is, these relatively small fines to large companies are simply the cost of doing business. The behaviour does not change.

Great question,
In a nutshell, Niquests goes way beyond httpx capabilities by actually leveraging HTTP/2+ protocols, they are quite shy on its support (HTTP/2) due to the current inability of issuing concurrent requests in a synchronous context.
Moreover, this solution has a stable API, and httpx did not settle as of yet (v1 milestone).
In terms of performance, they offers similar performances in similar contexts, but keep in mind that Niquests has a higher level of features while keeping a near perfect compatibility with its origin, aka. Requests. Then, when using a multiplexed connection, you can easily beat any mainstream HTTP clients while in a synchronous context.
Finaly, no one propose DNS over HTTPS, QUIC, TLS, etc.. As well as DNSSEC, OCSP Certificate Status, Network fine tuning settings, etc..
All of those configurable with a mere simple parameter. It aim at keeping the level of simplicity you grown fund of when discovering Requests. There's more, but I am going to let you discover it by yourself. There's also an article you may find interesting called "10 reasons to quit your HTTP client" onto the README.
I always want to upvote RSS discussions, but damn this is a bad article. The numbers are wrong (feed fetches can be deduplicated and 15min is a silly number), the arguments are wrong (Firefox had a local RSS client, how could it waste server resources), the pretense that Facebook is the web (might have made sense 10 years ago). The ramble about push being disorganized, I can't parse at all.

Then it hits us with an ad for what seems to be an RSS client SaaS (a real one, not the strawman they critiqued). Wtf?

I discovered this book through another great post by Patrick McKenzie, "The fraud supply chain" [2] where he heartily recommend it, and I haven't been disappointed. On top of being informative, the book is very entertaining to read.

> worth, [docx][1] is technically standard.

there was the funny thing thy MS published the standard and at the same time implemented a different standard then due to some stuff MS had to implement their standard properly and now you had 2 docx standards and had to "choose" which to use when setting up MS Word (like back in ~2007 or so) .... then they always switched to the standardized docx but they kinda continued to mess with it to a point where you shouldn't expect a MS Word document to be readable by anything even if it supposedly is saved in the standardized format (and when nitpicking it theoretically also is, just practically not in a very useful way).

>Outside the U.S pay 1 dollar to own something you made is nonsensical

Define 'own'. You aren't paying to own the thing, you're paying for legal protections.

This is the issue with intellectual 'property' it isn't property, it doesn't require an owner, you aren't deprived of the use of your work if I 'steal' it. You will always own a book in the sense that if somebody copies it, they need to give you credit. That concept of 'ownership' makes at least as much sense as yours.

Not sure about the legality specifically of this new Wifi mode/modules, but a lot of the companies selling other RF modules bare certainly know what they are doing is in a grey area. The FCC allows hobbyists to build up to 5 devices for personal use, and these sellers usually justify it as selling development boards for prototyping. The FCC doesn't seem inclined to enforce much against hobbyists, which is how you get stuff like obviously complete products on Tindie being sold under the "development board" exception. Which I'm glad for as a lover of those hacker gadgets, but the FCC could always come in and shut it down.

Wow, that is a very interesting take on how limited liability and public companies work...

although I'm not agreeing with them they are not really beating up a strawman - in the EU it's life+70, because it has a different motivation for copyright than the U.S - this means that you may think something is in public domain but then you find out it isn't really because the person who made it in 1925 died in 1970.
