The EU is the world's largest economy, do you really want to shut your entire business out of that market?

What then happens if a competitor is established to take your former position in the European market - chances are they're not just going to stay in the EU. They're going to eat your lunch elsewhere too.
I participated in a blind test between Google, Bing and Yahoo in my Information Retrieval class at a university, back in 2013. The results were: 1) Google, 2) Bing, 3) Yahoo - for every standard IR metric we thought of, which included NDCG@{1, 5, 10}, MRR, MAP.

Yes, but there are mutual funds that track market indices -- they're not all managed portfolios. So you have the relative stability and security of an index fund, and the convenience of a mutual fund to handle the transactions.

I want to clarify that there's no real security in equities, my use of that term is only relative to other kinds of investments. Everyone should understand that you could lose everything, and there's no deposit insurance or anything like that.
That's true and it's not going to be used in mma, kickboxing or anything like that. But sword and spear fights where the competitors don't get killed? That sounds like fun. What mma is to karate or boxing, this could be to fencing.

Without any details I'm going to assume this is all nonsense, but fun idea.
He sees programming as a professional and paid for activity. Consider if you would have to get into golf professionally, working 8 hours a day on it, and having to ensure steady revenue from it.

Now golf is a physical work reminiscent of the skills needed to hunt and kill mamouths and similar game. Instead programming is a purely intellectual activity akin to mathematics or philosophy, something you can do only when you have the leisure and time for a hobby.
Indeed, even inaction may be infuriating to these mislead people.
If your instincts are telling you to be creeped out, there's a reason for that. Our brains are pretty good at recognizing threats.
Email-style quoting doesn't work that well for a paragraph exceeding one line, and even worse for multiple paragraphs.

Obvious answer is just not to quote that much, but sometimes it's desirable to, especially as in the case above, where a block of external text is being quoted (as opposed to just quoting the particular part of another comment that you're addressing your reply to).
I think part of my question was related to your part 1. Are people genuinely remembering the entire API surface of their application, their language's standard library and all 3rd party dependencies for their code when using a text-mode editor like Vim?

The only way I could possibly work like that is if my program wasn't bigger than a couple of files not exceeding 50 lines or if I spent all day in the API docs.

It has me worried I've just got incredibly early onset memory loss I guess.
Why not scala native or substrateVM if you want lower memory requirements?
You are taking theories and treating them as scientific facts.

Is it possible that weakening of unions made it easier for politicians to pass globalization policies which ultimately lead to wage stagnation?

Is it possible that trickle-down economics (lower taxes on the rich) lead to concentrated political power for the wealthy who were able to push policies that benefit them (Citizens United, Right to Work, stock buybacks, carried interest loopholes, NAFTA)?

Treating 40 years of economic history as a simple binary does nobody any favors. These things are very complex and deserve more than a brush-off.
The main reason I quit Emacs was the lack of context and semantically aware code completion and re-factoring tools. Such tools are invaluable productivity boosts for me. I have never gotten that to work in Emacs to a satisfactory degree.
I am afraid I can’t follow your logic there. Taxing rich people the same as everybody else (instead of paying them money) doesn’t make you a communist. Even taxing rich people more doesn’t make you a communist. Eisenhowers tax bracket in 1951 was 91% (!) above 400 k$. I am not an American, but I’d be rather surprised if Eisenhower turned out to be a Soviet all along.

These kinds of progressive tax brackets are pretty normal in most democratic nations, most of which are part of the NATO, which isn’t exactly a big fan of the soviets either.

Btw. there is a ton of influence beeing excerted by the Russians via russian oligarchs who got many politicians in their pockets. If you want to figure out who they are, you just have to check who constantly decides in the russian interest, while hurting the interest of their own nation.
Funny enough, I was thinking about this last week and noticed that they hadn't said anything at all about YC China in a long time. I had figured that they'd quietly abandoned the effort, walking it back the same way that the media is letting Mike Bloomberg walk back his presidential campaign.

People jumped all over them when they announced it. I think every city and town in the world has been asking for YC to come and when they refuse everybody in countries where there is rule of law, private property, etc. and then endorse communism that was a problem.

For instance in most countries if we have a labor union somewhere or regulate something it seems we are not liberal enough so capitalists will invest elsewhere. China doesn't pretend to have free markets at all but billionaires want to invest there.

It is nice seeing people who were up in arms about Trump's abortive "Muslim ban" are waking up to issues of ChiComs vs Hong Kong, Tibet, Uyghurs, etc.

In the meantime it is a source of extreme stress on western democracies that we're told we will lose investment if we are not neoliberal but then see that investment go to a place that doesn't believe in any rights for anyone whatsoever.
> Steinbeck has a dynamite line about this.

I'd appreciate you quoting it.
> How much better can it be?

Rust guarantees that a data-race is a compilation error.

D.. does not guarantee anything.. a data-race won't even give you a run-time error..

So... since going from D to Rust is going from zero to all guarantees, I think it is fair to say that Rust is technically infinitely better.

FWIW this is not D's fault, most safe mainstream languages do not guarantee the absence of data-races (e.g. Java doesn't guarantee that either).
> Maybe the solution is to create a new, separate state that has jurisdiction and military control over the entirety of outer space

Sounds like the Sovereign Military Order of Malta would be a good fit for that. They already have (partial) recognition, but no territory, so taking control of space would fix that anomaly. Also, bizarrely, it wouldn't be the first time they were used as a loophole to solve a political/military problem:

It's their cancelling shows that bothers me.
If you're demanding maturity, don't throw out petty, overblown insults. It's hypocritical.
It ends up being a product of the fact that the smartest crypto folks aren't software developers, and the smartest software developers (or the most innovative -- the guys starting companies or building products) aren't crypto folks.

So you have a bunch of what are effectively scientists who aren't all that familiar with how products get made (first build something, release it, then refine it over time through feedback) and you have a bunch of developers who aren't familiar with how security products are managed (you don't release anything until you're willing to put people's lives on your product).

What you're left with is an ecosystem of developers releasing code that's not cryptographically sound because they need feedback and a community to help them refine the software, and crypto scientists who scream bloody murder every time they find a bug because, "what if the next Snowden uses your new tool!?!"

Everyone's right in this argument, it's just hard to bridge the gap between these two very different schools of thought.
So? Google is visiting a website to check if it's doing something with it's ads that is not allowed. And it's using an ip address that is not "officially" googles (to avoid being served a different version of the content I guess). Can't see anything wrong with that.
Oh no if robots get into power maybe they'll institute mass surveillance and start taking our rights away!

Oh wait...
Do you have any resources for this? I was thinking of looking into that but don't know where to start.
Nothing keeps startups from asking crypto experts for consulting and guidance. Nothing keeps them from reading publicly available docs and rants.
Maybe (s)he has decent data protection laws in his/her country. I'm pretty sure this would be illegal in the EU, under the Directive 95/46/EC.
I can't speak about the government — but the people are very interested. It's not the zero-sum game; the better the gazans and palestinians have it, the less power hate propaganda has over them, the less wars and acts of terror we'll have to endure.
Cool project!

What about a syntax like:

Copy all files recursively:

xcv .

Cut all files recursively:

xcv -x .

List all files which will be pasted:

xcv -l

Paste all copied files elsewhere:

xcv -v /elsewhere

It's just that most people will want to do those things by default, and remembering "xcv c -R ." is a bit more mental effort than "xcv ." But maybe that's just a personal preference.

yes, and you're conflating the two.

You are right -- I don't really remember when I had to login with different credentials for Youtube, et al.

Just to clarify, I am making a distinction between being able to sign into a Youtube profile with a Google account and forcing the same profile across all Google properties.

Judging from my preferences, and based on my (limited) anecdotes, it seems that users appreciate the convenience of single-signin solutions, as long as each property they are signing into has a profile that can be managed separately.
And Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale:

> At the corner is the store known as Soul Scrolls. [...] Behind it are printout machines, row on row of them; [...] There are five different prayers: for health, wealth, a death, a birth, a sin. You pick the one you want, punch in the number, then punch in your own number so your account will be debited, and punch in the number of times you want the prayer repeated.

If you have a copy to hand a chunk of chapter 37 deals with the interactions with these machines.
More and more companies are integrating with Whatsapp and building on the assumption that the majority has or will install it. And as they continue layering on the convenience of being a payments platform alongside Libra/Diem, it becomes another WeChat, and eventually you may require it to do everyday purchases, company interactions, bookings, etc. This is especially true in emerging/unbanked regions. Signal/Telegram/etc are focused on being messengers, while Whatsapp is part of a broader, increasingly indispensable platform and network, with social hooks. I worry the choice will be made for us as to whether we install it or not, since only a minority care about privacy.
People tend to lose sight of the fact that something like 99.9% of interactions between police and civilians involves no violence at all.
Maybe Twitter should suspend Metallica's account too.
It was created in Japan though by employees of Naver's Tokyo branch.
> I think calling ancient people idiots is ingenuine. Just because you know trigonometry and someone 2000 years ago didn't know trigonometry doesn't mean that person is an idiot...

Nothing to do with trig, it's based on IQ assessments. [1] Human intelligence has increased dramatically as a function of nutrition, as a function of living in cities, as a function of education and so on. It's even happening to raccoons who live in cities. [2]

It's not their fault, but compared to modern humans, they were big dummies.

> There are great teachings in the Bible if that is what you are looking for. If you look in the Bible to try and find every falsehood or inconsistency you will never actual find anything of value to your life.

Yeah, it's a modern Aesop's Fables. It's a bunch of stories, some made up, some collected from experience, which are used to provide guidance to living your life.

Is it not reasonable to demand interoperability for one of the main methods of communication in the entire world?

Forcing a specific standard is problematic, but it would be reasonable to ask any communication service to provide a fully documented and public API with features and access equal to the features and access of the official application.

Random nerds make integrations to whatever application/protocol is in vogue, business still gets to have complete freedom in where their take their API and thus their product.

I would even go as far as to say that every web-service should be machine-consumable in that fashion, but that's beyond the point.
I think you have a misunderstanding on something here. Voting is mostly the province of the states, not the federal government. You will have to look at the actions of the individual state legislatures. Who is in control in DC isn’t going to have any effect on this.
I thought about that, but HTML really is needed since they'll be editing pages on their own subdomains.
Yeah, my post mainly applies if your primary goal is weight loss. Skipping exercise entirely will ultimately make you look emaciated, but its best (easier, safer) to ramp up the exercise after you're already near a healthy weight.
It's somehow fun and weird at the same time, how RMS lectures cannot be legally translated in this way. This's because RMS asks to license videos under CC-ND, which, along with obvious misuse (out-of-context cuts, gluing unrelated fragments together to create fakes etc), forbids proper transcripts and translations.
Nginx supports PUT and DELETE without the dav module. It however requires PUT requests include a Content-Length header and does not support Transfer-Encoding: chunked (although the chunkin module adds this support).

The problem I was wrestling with was specifically PUT requests with no entity body and therefore no Content-Length (or chunked transfer encoding).

I've tried to explain in other comments why asking our users to add a Content-Length: 0 to empty PUTs isn't feasible.

If your RESTful API supports PUTs without bodies, you'll need to either use my patch or ask your users to always include Content-Length: 0.
This was used at Waterloo in CS 135 back when I took it (maybe it still is the text?). An introduction to programming that really is an introduction to programming. On an unrelated note, this suddenly reminds me of "Assembly Language Step By Step" (http://www.duntemann.com/assembly.html). Another introductory book I thought was absolutely wonderful back when I read it, but goes about things entirely the opposite way from this book - teaching programming (from scratch!) at the lowest possible level. Maybe the desire to memorize the names and functions of the x86 instruction set isn't so different from an obsession with pokemon or whatever the latest childrens fad is. Both approaches appeal to me, but maybe that isn't true for people in general.
A well designed tool like this could charge way more than $0.99.
I've wanted to lose a bit of weight much of my life, and decided to approach it a different way this year.

Instead of blindly trying what I tried before (calorie counting, exercise, etc), I've started reading books about nutrition & obesity research - the most informative one being "Good Calories, Bad Calories." I now come to the task armed knowing much more about how food affects my body than before (*atleast, according to the best research available today).

So, I've started reducing my carbs and sugars, and taking the opportunity to learn how to cook delicious vegetable+protein meals. I've lost 10kg so far, and more importantly, I actually really look forward to my meals.

I'm also trying to graph the weight like mentioned in the article, but it is a bit trickier as a girl (menstrual cycles interfere) and I don't have a fancy body fat scale. I've also taken pictures of myself (mostly my stomach), and have started taking pictures of my food to see if that keeps me more accountable (dailybooth.com/whatpamelaseating).

Anyway, it's going well so far, and I hope to use what I learnt to help my obese sister lose weight as well, before it affects her chronically.

i agree. cant really tell what is great about groupon and what is terrible about the echo logo.

It does not take away anything from patient either. It may push him into changing place where he lives, so that further harm is prevented both to him and his family.

Also, if that is actual cause, it would be harmful for doctor to speculate about how patient harmed himself.
There is no escape from cancellation. 500 years from now, someone running for a mayor of some colony somewhere in the Andromeda galaxy will have his aspirations crushed because of something their great*5 grandfather wrote on twitter.
How has Twitter ever been "practically private"? We're talking about tweets-- not direct messages.
Yes very familiar. I watched The Bridge ("Bron Broen") and it had all these. It was still OK, but too much of it won't be.

And the later seasons were a bit contrived so I stopped after the second one.

It seems unlikely that how charitable the company or person you're buying from would have a meaningful impact on consumer decisions. If that were so Newman's Own or similar companies would dominate over other food brands.
Can we change the title of this to accurately reflect the linked post?

The current title of "Archive.org DMCA" makes it sound like the site received a DMCA takedown notice. I hope it's not intentionally clickbaity, but that's what it feels like to me.

The actual article title of "Internet Archive Gets DMCA Exemption To Help Archive Vintage Software" seems much more accurate.
Always a good read.
I think Wodehouse was riffing on people saying the Odyssey was written not by Homer, but by another poet with the same name, an idea taken more or less seriously, then and still.

But a need for a historical Jesus, and accompanying apostolic drama, in order to support your spiritual doctrine is hard to understand. Either it's right or it's wrong, either you have faith or you don't, whether it was written down right then or only centuries later.
This should have a (2003) on the title. This exemption expired three years later, and does not appear to still be in effect.
Maybe there would be tangible progress on waste storage/ processing if government set standards and then got out of the way. That seems to be working in the area of space launches.
The way you phrased your opposition made it sound like you think that shareholders care if a company has positive net income. However, the whole point of this discussion is that shareholders have no vested interest in the financials of the company in cases like Uber. There is really no correlation in these companies being more profitable and shareholder wealth. Generally the only money that goes to shareholders from a companies financial performance is dividends anyways, which obviously Uber would never do yet it made people rich.

First stop the bleeding, sell off everything possible and cut costs to bare min.

Then try new ways to start growing again:
1. Try selling product on the Amazon Marketplace to take advantage of the SEO traffic they gained. This will cut your CPAs dramatically. If this works, expand to other marketplace partners.
2. Find local retail partners to sell products or open your own store.
3. Sell products at relevant sporting events.
4. Consider selling training, information, services or other high margin products.

None of this is easy nor a sure thing, exommerce is a cut throat game these days. Best of luck.
Remember, you're talking about the 90s which had as a flagship startup a company that sold pet food. Broadcast.com alone was purchased for $5.9B (eq. to $8B of today's money), and all they did was stream video over the Internet.
I'm a software engineer at Google in Seattle. I try to get in by 8:30 but sometimes it's closer to 8:00. I leave between 5:30 and 6:00 depending on when I got in. The office empties out pretty quickly in the evenings.

I almost never work longer than that. (I honestly wish I could sometimes. I end up having to interrupt myself in the middle of things to leave on time, but such is life when you have kids.)

If he's also doing a bit of email in the evenings, leaving at 4:00 doesn't seem unreasonable. I've never seen or heard anyone fret about work hours at the office. My experience has been that the company is very results oriented.

(This is still hard for me to adjust to coming from EA where I worked a lot of hours and company culture, unintentionally or not, placed a lot of emphasis on how long you kept your seat warm.)

Sorry, whitelisting isn't the answer to SQL injection - bind parameters are.

With bind parameters you can pass data out of band, and the DB engine never tries to parse it as SQL.
I would call it an attack if you can inject it into someone's else machine build it and run it as guest (or upload it as a binary and run it).

A good oscilloscope is the workhorse tool of a EE, the only problem is they actually can cost more than your house. Just the oscilloscope probe itself can easily cost more than a MacBook Pro. An active probe will typically run $1/MHz, so a 4GHz probe will cost you $4k.
