It’s supposed to increase competition, but I’m skeptical. I think a lot of the winners will be the other mega-companies, but there will be a lot of loss across the industry. I don’t think the goal should be to punish Google for the sake of punishment, and I see that as happening.

I agree it might increase competition in all the future businesses that Google doesn’t enter, but not in the businesses many complain about Google today.

1. Ending the default-search payments will take away 20% of apples profits, and most of Mozilla’s revenue. Everyone but Apple already uses the chrome rendering engine. This is purely a value-destroyer.

2. Chrome certainly wouldn’t survive a breakup in its current form. There is no way a child company can afford to pay this many engineers, especially if the DOJ adds restrictions like they can’t make money from Google-search defaults. This might kill open-source chromium in the process.

3. Fitbit and nest are some examples of product lines that probably won’t be sustainable on their own. But certainly there is more (Fi?). Any company that ends up with them would probably shutter it for the savings. This would cede both their markets to Chinese crap and other American monopolies. Plus all the random projects people mention like Google Fonts. I’m guessing there are a ton of things in this bucket.

4. We certainly are not about to see a variety in phone operating systems. If Google is chopped up, the new android (parent) company certainly will be far poorer and have far less resources than Apple. This will cause the entire android ecosystem to languishing as new features slow and shift power back to Samsung and existing companies that can afford to push features without Google.

5. Google Cloud Platform would likely be a rare winner here. Theyre profitable (barely) and suddenly getting a whole new massive customer on the books (remaining Google parts) would give them a massive boost.

6. Whatever business owns Gmail in the end will keep those customers. Customers probably won’t change email providers.

7. This would probably accelerate the “new feature not available in Europe” trend, as existing Google had a lot of agreements with EU to maintain old features for “anticompetitive” reasons. The leaner and more competitive businesses certainly would ditch that market to better compete elsewhere.

Personally, I think a better approach is to treat Google more like infrastructure and require them to share their efforts. Open up the search index to others (paid, but for any use). Force their accounting to “buy” it internally with the same public margin. This would allow competitors in AI training, in search engine algos, UX, etc.

Similarly, you can do a similar thing for Maps, YouTube, Play Store, etc. They show off which services they maintain that have billions of users. Target those, not all the markets they still compete in.
I kinda think the US model is: We encourage people to come here and get rich by all means. Life is stressful here and ordinary people's life sucks. But if you are rich enough you are getting the best of the world.

So I guess that's why Canadian doctors and nurses fled to the US, get rich and come back to enjoy. I plan to do the same if given the chance.

Keep in mind that was written like 12 years ago, when things looked differently than they do now. (Notably that's pre material design and pre kennedy (the precursor to material))
The implication that this avoids seasonal variation is accurate, but there are also other transitory supply shocks. I believe even accounting for seasonality, food and oil prices are more volatile than other items.

Also, I may be wrong about this, but I'm not clear that you can easily do comparisons like "inflation has been X percent over the past 18 months" if you just do comparisons to 12 months ago.
My favorite watch at the moment is a replica Moonswatch on a decent NATO strap. I am always quite tickled that wearing a copy of a copy that gets any street cred / sense of history. Two degrees of separation, two orders of magnitude less money out of pocket.

My replica Moonswatches cost $25US, looks fairly spiffy, hint at space history, are super lightweight, and keep time. I have a handful of nice watches but I have come to appreciate the combo of comfort / cheap / cheeky.

I also bought a fantasy Moonswatch based on a Japanese render artist's interpretation of Omega's "dark side of the moon" watch. It's a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy! (Moonwatch > dark side > swatch > render > rep.) As a designer of hardware products I think it's a super fun piece of commentary on modern branding and manufacturing.
Prompt Caching with Claude
I'm 35 with two children and completely agree with you. The sad state of things is that is not assumed anymore you will have children (the opposite). For example, there used to be many family movies (movies that both adults and children could enjoy), but now I can't find many. There are kids movies or adults movies, but family movies are more rare.

None of my friends in 2 countries had children
(I'm an immigrant). That's shocking, all families with children I had to meet after I had them.

Anyway lucky services for families are strong and we can enjoy the time together, but my prospective growing up was to share this also with my friends, so the realization it wouldn't be the case was sad. All of them are losing so much.

My main gripe with Amazon is how slow it is. It takes me like 30 seconds to change my shipping address and payment method before placing an order. I always assume it’s because they’re using Glacier on AWS to drive that functionality.

No. I'm saying technology makes some things cheaper, but not all things.
No one said it is pure. Also, no one said "unbiased". We say it is less misleading then the alternative which amounts to pretending certainty while misusing the math.
I think a second reason might be that translating OCaml/Haskell concepts to Python has that academic connotation to it. Rust also (thanks to PyO3) has more affinity to Python than the ML languages. I guess it isn't a surprise that this post has Python, C++, and Rust, all "commonly" used for Python libraries.

Why the arbitrary 18-45 limitation? Do humans get too smart to fall for this stuff after 45 and before 18?
I did ICL a few years ago, had a good experience. I did a fair amount of research. One interesting thing to note is that the FDA is often several years behind for both ICL and Laser tech (eg, it looks like the EVO/EVO+ (V4c, V5) lenses finally got approved in 2022 but was originally introduced in 2008 and approved in many other parts of the world in 2011. For lasers, Canadian lasers/TransPRK procedures generally seemed a generation or two better than what was being offered in the US as well).

While TransPRK (or LASIK) was an option for me, I decided to go with ICL:

* No flap or corneal ablation (so is still an option in the future, I suppose), just a 3mm incision that completely heals

* no eye dryness risk (corneal nerves not damaged); in general less reported complications post-surgery from my research. generally proper placement, and also making sure you have a good first week of recovery/good followup are the big things

* V4c/V5 (w/ KS-Aquaport) does not have fluid flow issue older gens did, and had a larger exit pupil hole (although my left eye even years later still has some haloing in low light due to it opening a bit bigger)

* the ICL can be removed or replaced in the future for upgrades or prescription changes

* ICL is an actual outpatient surgical procedure, is more expensive than most modern laser options and you should use an experienced/good surgeon. I went w/ Dr Kimiya Shimizu, one of the most experienced in the field (and is the KS in the KS-Aquaport, invented the injector technique as well). There are other Dr's as well who have done thousands of procedures, it's probably worth going for more experience. With proper insertion, he was actually able to use a regular (non-Toric) implant to correct for my slight astigmatism in both eyes.

Obviously, having work on your eyes is a serious thing, so I'd recommend everyone do their own research, but ICL for me was a big QoL improvement.

Response to comments about EU food regulations being healthier:

Probably true in some cases. On the other hand, many of the food regulations in Europe are based off of little more than paranoid pseudoscience. For instance, nearly all irradiated foods are banned in Germany, with only dried herbs and spices exempted. There's no good reason for this.

To make the case that the EUs food regulations are the reason for the lifespan discrepancy you'd at least have to eliminate factors like access to healthcare, violent deaths, drug overdoses, etc.
our legal system was built with the assumptions that there would never be any actively malevolent attorneys representing clients, or actively malevolent judges, assumptions that are clearly very wrong.

and now we have a problem, because until those individuals have a very long, very provable track record of malevolence, there is little that can be done to combat them.

My kids mostly watch on tablets which are their own. On the TV, they have separate profiles on all the streaming apps. We don't do YouTube much on TV but when we do, I've always been sure to give them a different device that is not logged into my account.

Just adding to Scion9066’s reply:

The usual workflow in practice when logging in to an “other” (hotel/work computer) computer is that you will be prompted to complete the authentication using a device with your passkeys (like your phone). The CTAP protocol they mentioned effectively turns your phone into a security key.

Using your phone with passkeys you scan the QR code shown by the website, then CTAP magic happens and you’re authenticated.

The great thing about this is that no reusable credentials are ever revealed to the dodgy computer.
Actually I think modern Capitalism's end goal is exactly the same. For example the US version. It tastes and looks a bit different due to historical reasons, but in the core it's exactly the same thing. If we replace "party leadership and control" with "elites and control", it's pretty much every country.
I found it strange that the article lists gun violence higher than drug abuse or lifestyle choices. Drug overdose deaths are more than 4x higher than gun deaths (excluding suicide).
Due process? I don't think they bothered with that in the past. Many of the debates about privacy that erupted in the 70s and 80s came because people discovered that the government didn't even bother.
> It does not necessarily describe performance of the algorithm.

Not necessarily true. It does indeed describe performance of the algorithm. It just compares scenarios with coarser granularity. You can tell from the very start that a O(1) algorithm is expected to outperform a O(N²) alternative.

I love such low value many words responses! If you have no plans to charge for the service but still provide it as a service instead of making it an offline tool, then it's even bigger NO.

We, some users, find that when there is no price for the service then we're paying with our data. It may be sold or used in unintended ways. It should be mentioned somewhere in ToS what you're going to do with the data, right? Oh wait, there is no ToS...
It's an oversimplification to say it is just about the cost of living, but its an easy to understand reduction of the problem that is far more complex and what I'm saying is that the consequences of high housing prices/rents and a lack of financial stability in our boom and bust economy is delaying parenthood, and this leads towards the failure of the familial support network that is critical to raising children.
That's great! You are the 2nd person who's told me that. You don't happen to know someone named Ryan in Oakland?

I agree completely. Its simplicity is what gives it staying power.

When I was an undergrad, I had kind of an anal software engineering 101 professor who was treating the course like he was a scrum master. The deliverable was to make some dumb crud app, and a requirement was it used a "database." It was so stupid simple to write a csv to s3 or local disk that I just used that for the entire project. He tried to fail me for not following the requirements, and I had to go to the dean of CS and argue that by definition, a structured data format on a disk is absolutely a database, and I won. I got graded horribly after that though.

You're not wrong, but the distinction here that I was responding to was the idea of needing to use Pydantic routinely for typechecking. Libraries that you have to know might as well be language features.

The phrasing of "The engineering decision" in your reply is telling -- you are coming from it as an engineer. But I'm looking at the population of Python programmers, which extends far beyond software engineers. The more such people have to learn, the more problematic the language becomes. Python succeeded despite not being a statically compiled language with clear typechecking because there is an audience for which those aren't the critical factors.

As I said in another response, it reminds me of what happened to Java. Maybe that's just my own quirk, but none of these changes are free.

Switzerland has much more real freedom (apart from going properly mental with hundreds of guns 'for personal protection', although strictest US states have far more restrictions than CH).

Frequent public votes on literally any topic you gather 100k signatures including such heavyweight topics like joining EU or NATO, or banning new mosques construction. You will never see such direct democracy in US, and you need very specific educated responsible moral population for it to work long term, or you get Brexit even with otherwise pretty decent and smart British folks.

0 opioid crysis, 0 gun violence, no obesity crisis to speak of, free very good quality public schools (to the point that nobody wants to pay for private schools if its not part of their corporate benefits) all the way up to top notch universities. Cca free absolute top notch medical system. Government that aint so darn clearly in big corporate pockets. They never criminalized drug addicts/consumers. I could go on for a long, long time. A lot of actual serious freedom in each above.

Not bashing US, its a great place for certain people and certain age, but hell would freeze sooner than I would move to US to ie raise kids or grow old. Land of free is mostly just politician's phrase, the bar ain't some dysfunctional 3rd world dictatorship, most of the world lives in pretty decent freedom.

What exactly is to be done with information which speaks at this scale? I'm not asking in a facetious way.

Seriously, what do you, the consumer, do with this?

Thanks in advance.
I like the idea but this is non-standard enough to be just as hard as making a custom format.

In my experience, the best way to handle this is:

1) Use TSV (tab-separated) instead of CSV (most things that export CSV also export TSV). Strip LF characters while reading and assume newlines are CR.

2) If you have a stubborn data source that insists on CSV, convert it to TSV in a pre-process. This could be a separate step or part of your reader as you're reading in the file. That means there's a single place to handle the escaping nonsense, and you can tailor that to each data source.
After trying a few different CLI mail clients---mutt/neomutt, s-nail, etc.---I've come to love the approach of mblaze[0], _i.e._ just a collection of commands to interact with maildirs, which can be separately managed by OfflineIMAP or whatever.

I'm curious how mblaze+offlineimap compares to other similar setups: nmh[1], fdm[2], and getmail.

Right, but the CCP seems likely to be seen as breaking the deal with the people soon, because they likely aren't going to be delivering rapid growth. The cracks in that are already showing.

Worse, the people are getting to the point where rapid growth isn't enough. It was what they wanted when China was a poor country. Now that they aren't in poverty any more, growth is nice, but they want other things more. As you say, they want choice and a say in how they are governed. (What they really wanted was a better life, not growth for growth's sake. Growth was just the form that a better life looked like when they were poor. Now it's not.)

I also see a parallel between China and Russia here. Russia attacked Ukraine because Putin couldn't tolerate a prosperous, democratic, ethnically similar neighbor - it might give his own people ideas. China's in the same boat, except that they have the Taiwan Strait to deal with, and the US at least appears to be willing to back Taiwan more forcefully than it backed Ukraine.
