Plan how to become the new regime, if you think it's likely.

This period looks wild, in no small part because 90% of even the fringe-y media don't like Trump, but I doubt much of his shenanigans will hold up once court cases happen. People will get bench-slapped (the only lawyering pun I know, but it's a good one).

This has a lot to do with framing in photography, architecture, and all these other things where "design" is involved that humans perceive as pleasing. It also means that not everyone has a knack for that. In return, chances are good that there are ways to actually "calculate" it.

What makes you think a potential buyer would not be motivated to spy on its own users? Either it is profitable to do this (and therefore the owners will) or it is not (and therefore being forced to sell chrome won't harm googles bottom line).
It would be more accurate to say that it doesn't work for some of the allocations in a spreadsheet or word processor app. Which is why you still have the global heap, but the point is that not everything needs to be on the same heap that has the same overall lifetime. That spreadsheet might still be running some algorithm that can do what it needs to do with a local heap.

And that aside, there are still many apps that are more like "serve a web page". Most console apps are like that. Many daemons are, too.

Does it require a new language, or could it be enforced by simple discipline or linting?

I'd suspect it makes sense in an embedded bare-metal environment where you know all the data structures you might ever have in circulation at once. This sometimes ties into things like explicitly unchanging data as "this can be allocated to ROM" to tightly manage the limited RAM.
The only reasonable long–term strategy is for users to simply stop using any site which presents them with a captcha or other verification measure of any kind. Of course, 99% of users only care about how easy it is to get their fix and have never considered any of the long–term consequences, so it’s not reasonable for a browser to rely on their users adopting that behavior.
> When we were dropping drone bombs on ISIS, was ISIS any threat to the US mainland?

Yes it was. The primary threat is the illegal drug trade, you know, the one that results in more than 100,000 overdose deaths per year in the US. The drug trade is a huge part of how groups like ISIS get financed. When you take out the group, you take out the people playing the drug trade to finance them, and you weaken the drug trade.

consider e.g. https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2017/07/isis-is-so-desp...

At the end of the day, there's the rules-based international order, and then there's everybody outside it. The law and the outlaws. Outlaws will collaborate to fuel their self-interest. When you weaken some outlaws, you weaken the rest; when you weaken some areas of the law, you weaken the rest as well.

I also find it odd how you came to this conclusion from his writings. However, I first studied Epictetus[0] (I prefer Discourses to the handbook), who inspired Aurelius--thus read Aurelius through the lens of Epictetus. Which is a very different take on Stoicism that has nothing to do with the adjective, stoic as some new aged takes seem to associate. There was also a link on here awhile back to some professors lecture on YouTube, but I can't remember it, that I thought had a really great take on Stoicism and Aurelius. (maybe someone will know it and post)

My short take on Stoicism is about being responsible for your actions, really owning them, plus the understanding needed to be able to do so. Which includes not giving your power of will to others; especially due to social constructs. Worshiping "leaders/authority" tends to make a person believe they are no longer responsible for themselves, the leader is now in ownership of that. There is a gained inner peace (thus joy and lightness) in owning your will. (Here is one of my favorite passages[1])

It's not about having no feeling or joy (being deeply hollow, dissociative, etc)--very much the opposite--or at least the Epictetus teaching. It's also not about giving up and not doing anything or caring, even though that is a lot of people's (wrong, imo) take. It's the opposite, enjoy what you can but don't be so distraught over the things you can not control that you cause self-harm or make it worse. You can not control a region wide wild fire burning your house down, but you can control your response--you can freak out and cause more distress to your family or you can comfort them and find ways to bring people together and rebuild. Your choice, just take responsibility for whatever you choose. That is Stoicism, not having a "stiff upper lip" and pushing through by being a tyrant by default. If you want to chose that okay, then that was what you thought was right for you, but own the consequences of those actions, that part is the Stoicism.

Yes it’s why robotics is so exciting right now
It's confusing, but each payer (insurance companies) negotiates a series of prices for things. Each one is a unique, bespoke, business deal -- and this is why prices are never clear: the cost of something is unique to the deal hammered out by an individual insurance company and individual health care provider networks.

Different payers will come up with their own unique take on health care coverage prices, favoring some things (lower costs) over others. Some may favor prenatal care and maternity, some may favor meat-and-potatoes basic health needs over specific categories of care. Larger payers may get a percentage point or two average-over-everything lower, smaller ones may favor a particular subcategory to create what they feel is a "good enough but still competitive in some key marketable categories" package. Each one is bespoke and quite varied.

From the outside, it can look insane: you walk into a hospital and ask how much a procedure costs, and the person at the desk is honestly confused and honestly has no answer. The reason? The cost is entirely relative to the cost structure package hammered out by a specific insurance company - there isn't really a fixed "cost" per se.
As far as I can tell these service are essentially the same as not reporting an income in a roundabout way - illegal but you will likely get away with it because how will the tax authorities of your country know.

I've brought this up before, but I never got a response and I'm really interested what people think the business case is here. I keep wondering what a buyer would actually value beyond Chrome's userbase. Chrome is just Chromium with Google integrations, similar to how Edge is Chromium with Microsoft integrations.

If a company acquires Chrome, they don't have many choices: re-establish Google integration deals (so the divestiture would be pointless), replace Google integrations with their own (becoming just another Chromium distro in a sea of Chromium distros), or just monetize the existing userbase.

A Chrome acquisition doesn't include unlimited control over Chromium. Chromium is open source, with contributions from many organizations (who retain the copyright to their contributed code). Google can only sell what it exclusively owns: the brand, infrastructure, signing keys, etc. The real force behind Chromium is having a critical mass of engineers all pushing in generally the same direction. You can't necessarily just buy that, especially when you wouldn't own exclusive rights. Any other company is free to poach engineers and fork the project.

Edited to add: if Microsoft sold VS Code to, say, Oracle... don't you think that another company would leap at the opportunity to fork the project? Would the userbase and the thin layer of closed-source Microsoft customizations really be worth that much?

That's completely irrelevant. The problem was (obviously!) always about the incompatibilities rather than the color.
In the Five-eyes jurisdiction, it is legally allowed to use strong end-to-end encryption. Any potential laws that are contrary to that would come up against some serious 4th amendment issues. The idea of cryptography as a munitions was largely set aside in the name of capitalism.

I feel the energy spent vaporizing the rocks is more then the energy gained.
but heart disease is a bigger killer

Can't blame Mexico and China for heart disease. So it's of little political value. A government will take on public health challenges whose root causes can be used to confer political value. Other public health challenges may be more serious, but they are worthless to a politician.

That's actually why politicians shouldn't be in charge of those sorts of things.
> When you hear about the US navy going after pirates off the coast of Somalia, that money wasn't spent protecting US citizens in most cases.

Not directly, but it is protecting the financial interests of US companies whose products are on said ships.
Just in case, I’m using my own violentmonkey scripts rather than hoping for extensions, and everyone can do that too (now only on firefox, I guess, and maybe brave).

Well, presumably you'll have a much easier time living through the fall of a country in another country.

As to "which countries don't seem like they'll collapse with over 1 in 10 odds within 10 years"... Most of them? I guess if you thought this risk was exceptionally high the EU's visa free travel would be the best hedge you could get right now.

This is why I fork the extensions I use, with the exception of uBlock. Basically just copy the extension folder, if I can't find it on GitHub. That way I can audit the code and not have to worry about an auto-update sneaking in something nefarious. I've had two extensions in the past suddenly start asking for permissions they definitely did not need, and I suspect this is why.

Btw, here's a site where you can inspect an extension's source code before you install it: https://robwu.nl/crxviewer/

Re: your first paragraph, this is exactly what Google does now. They maintain such an incredible pace of development and such a unilateral attitude that nobody can stop them from developing web standards even if they want to. When was the last time anyone said no to a Chrome feature and expected it everywhere else? Developers treat it as the go to to the extent that some don't even bother testing in other browsers. Google are showing Microsoft how it is done.

I am surprised there is no mention of CNG/biogas buses.

They are very common here in Sweden.

The engine is more or less the same as a gasoline/diesel engine.

The biogas can be (and is) locally produced by food/farming waste or similar but can also run on fossile gas.

And for the buses it is no problem to carry the somewhat bulky cylinders on the roof.

Now that firefox has native vertical tabs it's possible that the the integration can get better in the nearer future since I doubt the vertical tabs feature (which i haven't used yet) has tabs on the top AND side.
We don't use GOTO because we got richer alternatives.

A lot of people were using GOTO because they wanted (for example) do-while or switch-case, or because they wanted to box up their code into self-contained functional units, but the 8k ROM BASIC they were working with didn't have proper tooling to implement it.

Most modern languages support enough of those features that people aren't simulating them through GOTOs. Recursion schemes have not hit that level of availability and general awareness.

Going back several levels of parents, I note the mention of Haskell-- it feels like the functional programming world does a lot of heavy lifting on new language theory, but it tends to remain cloistered there for decades until people figure out how to bolt it into something that looks more like Algol or C than Lisp.

Neither Netflix nor Spotify make market dominating utility "media players" that can be used to browse any streaming media.

What Netflix and Spotify do is akin to what YouTube or Apple Music/TV, or even online marketplaces like eBay/Amazon/etc does. Personally I'm not that keen on the "recommendations" most seem to generate but it's them analysing what you've interacted with on their platform and showing you things they think you might be interested in.

Google controls the browser, search engine and ad network - all of which interact in some way with third party sites the user actually wanted to visit.

I was under the impression that for typical energy mixes in developed nations EVs are strictly better than ICEs and that you have to exclusively charge them for burning lignite to be slightly worse.

iOS did boycott RCS for a long time in order to convince US teens to buy iPhones rather than Android phones (due to incompatibilities between iMessage and SMS, which are popular in the US). It worked. I think there was even some leaked internal email which admitted to doing this. The US antitrust agencies ignored it; there were no legal consequences for Apple. I believe Apple finally decided to add RCS support after EU legislators threatened to force their hand.
You admit that you’re getting older, and I think that’s part of the disconnect with emojis. OK does not convey the same thing.
