> Does USPS allow you to ship anything, legal or not, without question? (No)

Sure, let's pull this thread.

Your use of the term "legal or not" is silly, because I specifically put the caveat for the platforms to delete illegal content, so I'll only look at the scope of legal stuff. You are correct that the USPS won't let you ship anything, things like guns and large quantities of cash aren't inherently illegal but aren't allowed to be shipped.

The implication of what you're saying though, is that you want the government to determine what constitutes "free speech" on the internet. If someone uploads a full-length (legally licensed) Brazzers video to YouTube, that might be classified as "porn" and be deleted. Fine. How about if, in the middle of the "action" of the porn, they go on a long detailed breakdown of wealth inequality in America. Is this still "just porn" or is that considered protected political speech that now cannot be deleted?
Using these false equivalences and “you’re for us or against us” type reasoning might rule up people who’re already convinced, but it likely makes those who aren’t on a side more suspicious of what you’re pushing, because it feels like you’re trying to trick or coerce.
As a matter of public policy, I agree that the specification should not receive protection, but under the law as written by Congress, it does. Thomas's dissent is correct.

My comment is about process, not policy.
That the only method I have to scope tokens is to break the TOS for GitHub - by creating single-use accounts - is super lame.
I don't know if for everything, but that definitely makes sense for "general purpose" social media like Facebook that has 2.7 billion active users. That's 34% of world population. Probably includes a lot of bots, but still.
Railway was a big thing for army. Poland uses European gauge because Germans modified most tracks in Poland to their standard during WW1 (Poland was partitioned between Russia, Germany and Austria before WW1 and Russian partition was by far the largest and used Russian gauge).
It's not that simple. Allergies are disabilities too and they shouldn't be excluded from entire industries. Employers have to provide reasonable accomodations for employees with allergies
> No, deliberately giving people STDs is not an action that’s often loudly defended.

The action is not loudly defended, but the philosophy is. It's like when people from another part of the political landscape recommend "Industrial Society and its Future" but demur about the letter bombs.

> So why are you even bringing any of this stuff up? It’s just muddying the waters.

I was trying to explain the reaction. But, yeah, it's a waste of time. So here I stop.
> The apps need a way for me to say "I have a carseat" or "I have a service animal"

In the UK (and EU?) those are 'protected characteristics' that it'd be illegal to discriminate against. I suppose you could ask 'for information purposes', but you'd have to be prepared to defend yourself, proving that it didn't affect the service received.

> and then give a bonus to the driver for picking me up.

Like that. Of course people are free to think 'this driver was an unusually nice guy to me and went above and beyond to help with my wheelchair', or whatever, but it absolutely couldn't be required of the customer. You can't have a 'parent or guide dog user' surcharge.
Why? The service and/or product provided by their business is providing significant value to society (lest they wouldn’t be collecting profit). Is the reward for creating a successful business really more responsibility to just give back instead of using it to create more business?
Probably one of the most elegant languages around.
From skimming through, the library looks good! It's "generic" in the best sense of the term, agnostic of React, Vue, etc.
This is a two sided marketplace - which side are you focusing on first? Developers or sponsors?
Isn't there something patronizing, even patrician, about saying "the propaganda machine has so effectively manipulated the working class"? Why aren't their views as legit as yours or mine? There seems to me a great assumption in saying that they are "manipulated". Who isn't?

This is the idea of false consciousness (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_consciousness), and it has always seemed questionable to me. Who are we to say that someone else's way of relating to their own life and their own concerns is wrong? Why should their priorities be any different than they are?

By the way, I'm not trying to start an argument. These are questions that I worry about myself, and I'm genuinely interested.
Are you familiar with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advogato and similar work from the early 2000s? I still think this kind of thing has potential.
"Comparatively small" is still several weeks of work, as far as I know.
I like the idea behind DDGR. However, I was surprised that it doesnt offer a pager for search results. Whenever I search something, I need to use the scrollback buffer to actually see the first results... That is not very userfriendl, even for a CLI tool.
Instructions to compile the source on Freebsd:

to:

CFLAGS += -std=c99 -Os ${INCS} -DVERSION=\"${VERSION}\" -DNDEBUG

The flags (the removed ones), trigger the "__BSD_VISIBLE 0" macro that makes the signal "SIGWINCH" unavailable, as they are used in vis.c
Ai Weiwei Never Sorry is surprisingly enjoyable and it does a great job of giving some in-depth understanding of Chinese culture.

I don't like putting anything on my resume because I try to learn from the best. I know what mastery of the material looks like, and I don't have it. But I can usually outperform most of my peers in anything I've seriously studied.

It is more depressing to me in that I wouldn't want to work for someone who doesn't understand that, yet that's not something they could reasonably be expected to know. So resumes just feel like pointless bureaucratic fictions... and that's exactly the kind of thing I'm trying to remove from the world.
"but it's so cute..." /s

But pretty much everytime men introduce new species in an ecosystem,it seems to have dire consequences. Which shows that ecosystems relies on a delicate balance.We often think we're in control of all this,but not really.

Without knowing anything about deaf attitudes in general, I've learned to not mistake the loudest and angriest voices in a group as representative of all of it.
Minimum single families drive 200 miles per day? Is 'minimum single family' a family of 12 average commuters?
Honestly the reason I haven't pulled the trigger on this myself isn't the automation, but because managing the dividend reinvestment transactions come tax time would be absurdly time consuming.
So they set a whole season's profits on fire to stick it to seasonal workers? That seems so irrational as to require at least a smidgen of evidence to take seriously.
Anyone knows what the "nude people dancing" [1] image from the post is called? Or how to call the art-style?

> _Why use sign language on platforms where text is accessible?_

I'm not an expert, but I suppose that text is a foreign language to those born deaf. They might prefer to communicate in their native language.

(But if someone has lost their hearing after learning to read and write, then it would be different.)
I would love to read the article, but I can't unless I agree to their stupid cookie prompt.

> Taxes imposed by a government are compulsory.

You can opt out by moving out of the country. /s

In that sense, I don't think you can opt out of the "Apple tax" because there are exactly 2 platforms both of which you have to be present on, otherwise you're not gonna reach your users.
Not OP. Simple carbs, like glucose, have a very measurable impact on my day's mood: after the sugar rush, I usually feel depressed and without energy.

Indirectly, it affects my bedtime routine, as I get way less done on the day, and feel guilty going to bed. (Even as I lay in bed after taking melatonin at a certain time.)
> If you have cash going into this downturn, now's the time to start plotting where you are going to invest it for maximal gains

If much of this money is effectively going into the stock market - either via credit to public corporations or direct stock purchases by the Fed - is that most likely where maximal gains might occur?
I wish I had known this. I had a few months of advanced notice, and I had no idea that commuter benefits just go poof on the last day of employment. Lost about a $1k in that.

And additional point I'd add to this list, especially for those on H1b visas, if you are not getting any severance and no notice period, then the employer is liable for your move back to home country. I didn't know about this option nor do I know anyone personally who got this. If anyone can share info on this, that'd be great.
Very interesting. I don't have any experience making .pkg installers nor with verifying code signing on macOS, but I agree in general, the `preinstall` script does a lot of work one would expect the installer itself to do. This is all supporting evidence for my personal preference to never run the Zoom installer, but rather to extract the application bundle by hand.[1]

Other than Java, .NET and mobile OS native stacks, I am not sure that today's technology is so much better in so many regards.

In fact in some areas I think we went backwards, doing 20 years circle to meet such tooling where they were at the early 2000's.
This seems pretty standard when you ask executives at any company. Of course no executive is gonna go straight out and say they don't care about the long-term, only about short-term profitability.

> Hey Joe, does your company emphasis on the long term or short-term profitability?

> Joe: What a good question! We at ACME AB of course favor long-term sustainability rather than short-term profitability

> How about letting your warehouse workers go to the bathroom whenever they want?

> Joe: well, our long-term plan depends on short-term profitability so of course people can't go to the bathroom whenever they want, they should have a allocated slot for that.

Point being: look at the actions of a company rather than the words of the owners/workers, and you'll get a much more real picture.
This is my guess - two write calls to one write call. I think this will happen to work even in the presence of Nagle’s algorithm, because there is initially not going to be an already sent packet waiting acknowledgement, so at least the first write call will probably be unbuffered in that sense.

Assuming an mtu of 1500, ~40 byte TCP header, and a little bit of HTTP/1.1 headers, that leaves probably plenty of room for the etcd PUT to not get fragmented, I think.

> Putting a python game on a phone is definitely more of a problem

Not necessarily. kivy[1] is an alternative to pygame (for desktop builds, it uses pygame/sdl under the hood iirc) but it supports exporting to android as well as desktop platforms. I haven't done a ton with it so take this with a grain of salt, but it looks like it could be a viable option in this case.

Most RFID tags have a unique identifier in them. You can duplicate said identifiers, but if they are indeed globally unique and can not be reprogrammed then the thief is still out all that money and the chips are worthless.
Sure, I'd imagine so. However, just waltzing in and not visiting the counter for exchanging cash for chips might seem odd. Easily taken care of by bank rolling your trips with some real money and "peppering" in your stolen chips.
Communication between app and unhosted storage node is over HTTP, yes. In the current version. But the unhosted storage node wouldn't care if it's a browser or a desktop app / phone app / tablet app that's talking to it.

They like solder because it's more reliable.
The player can be just one component, until you split things to reuse them.

But imagine a simple 2d game: whag are you reusing on a lot of entities?
- collision size
- sprite to render and render properties
- position on grid
- maybe also a velocity, maybe an acceleration

With ECS it becomes trivial to make a system that iterates over all entities with a sprite and a position, and draws them. Another system can adjust the position with the velocity.
Notice how we can create non-moving entities by not having the velocity component at all. Also notice how we can easily add a rendered sprite to any entity without changing any code.

I know this scales well as it gets more and more popular also for larger games.

Bonus: This data is all located together so iterating over Sprite+Position is very cache friendly. And if a system only reads and writes data to the entity jt can also be parallelized.
Nobody had to give them your phone number.

They just dial numbers at random. Phone numbers aren't sparsely distributed. There are entire area codes that are essentially fully utilized.

Why is it a concern that an app wants to use my contact list? Really??
Not sure why "lindyman" is on the front page but it's not too surprising. He's talking about the transhumanist plan. Very well, let's talk about that. Hormones, anti-aging, even cryonics are not the plan, but rather short-terms tactics. The transhumanist plan is to change nature – to restructure reality so that morality becomes as intrinsic as gravitation. Death, per transhumanism, is an evil, or even the only true evil. So it follows morally that death must be excised from reality itself. That's the plan. (How's that for impracticality?) Everything else is just doing a hecking science.

If that sounds cool then the places to find out about it and to talk about it are Less Wrong and Scott Alexander's substack. In no way do I consider myself affiliated to transhumanism as a movement, but I do, still strongly encourage exploring the ideas.
I'm not a large scale ISP but I do have to monitor quite a lot of stuff.

You'd be amazed at how much you can monitor with Nagios/Icinga(1,2). They are written in C but call a lot of external stuff written in whatever you fancy and that's the power, right there. Bodge upon bodge! There's no single technology in these beasties. The interface between the system and the plugins is very basic to say the least, so you can throw whatever at it as you require. I'm a sysadmin not a programmer and need to get jobs done.

We currently use Icinga 1 with a dash of Netdisco and I intend to migrate to Icinga 2 with DIrector etc.

That said, I have dallied with OpenNMS many times ever since the project began - it's too good to ignore. Zabbix also turns my head quite often.
>> Cool because data is always cool :)

Tell that to the families that had loved ones in the Unit 731 experiments?

I'm just saying that by prefacing something with "well since we're in a state of tyranny it would be neat to [do a thing]"... it doesn't always fly and not all data is necessary to have when it comes at a cost of human lives.
Whilst you're on it can you fix the LLR logo roundel not to have floating pixel cruft in the transparent areas (and poor cropping) and maybe provide a properly scaled WP logo - that anti-aliasing gives me the jitters ... just saying ...
There's nothing negative about "tribe".

As far as "hive" goes, it's apt. It's accurate and the connotations point out the other side of the claimed advantages.

> Be open-minded when calling for openmindedness.

I'm not calling for openmindedness. I'm pointing out cherry-picking, and a couple of other problems.

I don't care where other people choose to live. However, if they're going to argue that their choice is superior, I think that it's fair to see if their argument makes sense. What part of that do you disagree with?

Which reminds me - I'm certain that I'll see you make the same complaints when an urbanist commits my sins, right?

I think I've read about 6 of these, and had read to me (as a child) about 8 others. (Of the linked-to top 100.) But many of these are so strongly in our culture / collective consciousness that it can be hard to remember which I've read versus had read to me versus heard or seen a radio, television or movie adaptation versus am familiar with the story despite none of the above.
Taking a stab in the dark about your typical use case:

How about option (3) - make the import tool free but make sharing, creating multiple mockups of the same page or even saving to come back to later billable. Basically, minimise friction in getting users to start using the tool and then charge them at the point it becomes useful.

The "import your existing" page sounds like the kind of potential killer feature that deserves its own landing page too: mocking up from scratch and easy "on-the-fly" rearrangement of existing pages have different use cases and value propositions.

-

I also think you've oversimplified the pricing for the original service. Faced with a choice of 3 for free or "unlimited" for $19 per month, most people are going to think they fit into the cheaper bracket.

If you end up with something remotely close to the old model, try something along the lines of:
$19/mo Standard - up to 10 mockups
$49/mo Pro - unlimited mockups

Given the more expensive choice, the "Standard" option suddenly looks relatively inexpensive, and you might still get "Pro" signups for more cash. Although the actual numbers might want a bit more thought than my arbitrary increase. Possibly you should consider making the "also there's a free plan" a footnote and definitely reduce the mockups covered by it down to one or two.

Probably the two pricing models can coexist, as a design/consulting firm might find $19 or even $49 per month to be cheaper than paying per mockup shared.
Honest and ethical? This isn't the Nobel Prize. The criteria for POTY is set by Time and can be bent and justified however they see fit. In 2006, it was everybody. It has also been "The Endangered Earth," "Middle Americans," and "The Computer."

They also opted to not include Hussein or Bin Laden. In 2001, it was Giuliani for his response to 9/11, and not anyone actually involved.

Suffice it to say, they have a vested interest in avoiding the more contentious choices. They are becoming less relevant every year, and it seems likely that a lot of their readership still thinks facbook is cool.

Password managers solve this problem pretty nicely.
Polling for specific data possibly? I don't personally know what data typically exists on CAN if you monitor it passively, but it seems reasonable that you might need to ask devices on the network for the data you're looking for.

This doesn't make any sense. Firefox is an alternative to Chrome, Edge, and Safari. Gecko is an alternative to Blink, Tident, and WebKit.

It's cool to have multiple implementations but this analogy doesn't work since browser rendering engines are trying to produce identical results. You wouldn't say that PyPy exists as an alternative to Python, would you?
