> It should be required that Android did the same.

Assuming you go through Google Play, which you aren't required to. And assuming Google Play actually reviews apps, including every single update, which it sometimes does but crappily.
The US and Western Europe find it very important to find any way to increase anti-China sentiment. Whether or not it is actually meaningful in a practical sense, accusing China of creating and spreading the virus adds to the ancient enemy status that it shares with Russia, and justifies large domestic expenditures.

The public justification for the giant US nuclear arsenal was the entirely fictional "missile gap," thereby creating an actual missile gap in the other direction that the Soviets thought they had to close. I'm not saying that "If new coronaviruses are being cooked up in Wuhan, we'd be negligent if we weren't funding development of our own" thought processes will necessarily become ascendant, but "China is a existential threat to the world, and any expenditure is justified in order to defeat it" is absolutely common.
No, you should not open up the bugs. They show up because they do an organic search, e.g. for apple products. Simply close that source, then the bugs will disappear.
> But it’s not Estonian burglary law.

That doesn't matter, because we all agree that burglary is bad. The question isn't "is burglary or racism bad," the question is "do I know enough about this person or topic to be sure that it deserves to be denounced based on my beliefs about racism or burglary?"
So calling things by their preferred name is not neutral?

This is like making a statement about the demonrats and expecting to be taken seriously.

It has the intellectual power of intentionally misgendering someone as a means of insulting them.

There is a reason that neoconservatives like Mike Pompeo are revitalizing your preferred acronym.
The judge or jury will always have a great deal of discretion in manslaughter or reckless/negligent homicide cases. They are often frustratingly sad in a way that more straightforward murder cases are not.
> Citizens are much better at allocating funds to worthy causes than a central government.

You kind of threw this out there. What makes you think this, is it something different about a charitable cause versus say health care? Both are distributing the same resources.

I might agree that decentralized decision making about resources is superior, but even that is full of caveats. I’m not sure why you think independently unorganized citizens are better than a group of citizens whose official capacity is to allocate (ie why call out government as something different? The important piece is centralized/decentralized, not govt vs citizen.)

At least it is supported in the literature - the lag and loss of resolution in reporting back centrally makes decisions a worse fit for actual conditions on the ground.
Thanks @mapgrep, I fixed the typo based on your comment, but couldn’t reply timely due to the noprocrast setting of HN.
Well, okay then, I guess it's not for you. Let's never change!

Not to mention, of course, that many cities in the USA are also high-density. In fact, a large percentage of people living in NYC and the like don't even own a car. They are endangered and have to endure pollution and the extra charge on their rent for all the free parking and road space taken up primarily by people that descend onto the city from outside of some suburban American hell. They clearly don't want to live in that kind of place, yet they think nothing of forcing their four ton suburban onto others.

What you are seeing is people in cities realizing they don't want to continue subsidizing some suburban middle class dream and be killed and endangered in their own city in the process.
There are also electrically-assisted bicycles (e-bikes), somewhat more expensive but good for short commutes.
I think more important than always saying Yes is providing the ability to make anything possible.
They also have the ability to force feed the world with their works, regardless of how poor they are.
I'm pretty sure a lot of them are waiting for the iPhone5
Distributed Transcation as said by RDBMS companies actually is 'Distributed as long as nothing goes wrong'.

Of course, that's the point of ACID. When something does go wrong, your database will rollback the distributed transaction and throw a scary ORA error rather than commit inconsistent data across the cluster. I've never known a properly configured Oracle system to break ACID.

I build these systems for a living, and I am quite certain that they can be made to work. Oracle is hard to set up, no doubt, but I would never blame it for the failure of a project...
Reduction to absurdity: if (almost) everybody got to add something, you would have an undifferentiated mass of scar tissue. There needs to be some discrimination of what changes "fit" the language.

Of course, "fit" and beauty are in the eye of the beholder :-(
Unrestricted speech is pretty good. People can listen to arguments and then make up their minds. Heck, even ask questions without the person rehearsing their answer in a committee before hand. Seems to work everywhere its tried. The trouble is that people might not make the "right" decisions for people who matter.
Which do you like working with, better?

This is sad for the project itself, but I predict that the coming programming competition will be Rust vs. Go, not Swift -- as Swift was always a distant third among the "new" languages. And of course the more mature languages will continue to be popular and widely used for decades.

In my opinion, Rust will end up winning this contest, but others have perfectly good arguments against that view. Unfortunately for server-side Swift and the many good people who've worked on it, there seems little chance for it, in TensorFlow or other usecases.
Below is an interesting bit of research which gets quite close to tackling your curiosity, or at least stimulating it. It specifically concerns oral hygiene and blood pressure, with a focus on nitric oxide. Tongue scraping seems beneficial, though there's no mention of copper. However, chlorhexidine (mouthwash ingredient) seems a disruptor of NO and may contribute to higher BP. I need to read the article myself, but a brief skim left a big impression.

Yet, always held a job, so far never part of a layoff, still pulling my weight. If you are not constantly learning then you are falling behind. The biggest differences from my younger days are more distractions in my personal life (family), and I make better decisions than I once did.

A possible problem with ‘wisdom’ in this sense is that it doesn’t always stack well, whereas deep knowledge usually does.

A wise generalist manager deftly guiding the skills of a bunch of deep specialists probably makes for a great team, and a team that can be expanded without much friction. A team with too many ‘wise’ people (or people who perceive themselves that way) might just waste all day arguing.
Meh. I'm "influenced" by Whet Moser and Liz Ptacek; I happen to be related to them. "Influence" apparently means "have ever RT'd them".
My favorite part:

"I didnt notice it was copy written"

Assuming she means "copyrighted," damn. This individual is shockingly ignorant about the business of writing. The author of any work automatically receives copyright to that work (unless it's a work for hire, etc). It's that simple.

I want to believe no one can be that obtuse, and this line is just one more of the weak post-rationalizations she's offering for obvious bad behavior.

While I was in the army (Bulgaria), one drill-sergeant was bringing his sheep to graze the area where we were situated, thus benefiting on free grass (it was everywhere)... While not a problem in general, there were some cases of ticks and mites spreading.

Of the more than 100 poop complaints I've filed with 311 the majority have been human sized. The one with a string/tapeworm coming out of it was ambiguously sized and spread out over like three blocks.

Yesterday I submitted one of bloody handprints smeared all over a building on Mission St. Pretty sure those weren't dog handprints. I called it graffiti since I didn't see anything more suited towards "blood smeared all over someone's building".

http://mobile311.sfgov.org/reports/11720974

This was voluminous enough that I think it was probably human:

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this?
I've only been asked that question in an interview twice, and in both I asked why that would matter. I walked both times (away from a decent offer in one case).

What's being tested is not 'how did your previous employer value you?', it's 'how good at negotiating were you when you started your last job?'

Additionally, the value of less numerical benefits gets substantially ignored in such calculations - I worked for two years at a job that paid 40k, but the flexibility, atmosphere, and environment were worth the 30k drop to me. There's no normal way to explain that in an interview without it sounding like an excuse.

Next time somebody asks that question, I'm going to tell them '15k and a few thousand bananas'.
Please don’t post like this here. Just kidding will add to my reading list.
If one falsehood is censored, logically all arguments trying to defend the falsehood will also be censored. I don't believe a system will be developed to distinguish good / bad arguments.

Be aware, falsehood is different from lies.
The common mistake with signing schemes is assuming that it actually means anything on its own. There is no need to it.

That would only make sense if you want to mark something as offical and have authorative sourcing. It would have a place for chains of command and actually signed off on orders but not evidence that the content is true.

An offically signed video of the president punching Adolf Hitler in the groin, High Fiving George Washington, and then flying off into space could be cryptographically valid although obviously fake. It would only say that the President actually approved this but not that it was real.

I've been joking that my Twitch channel is an exercise in finding extremes that likely no one would actually watch. It mostly only has stuff streamed to it, for instance, because Sea of Thieves gives some small in-game rewards for streaming, and I like finding a lot of the less exciting parts of SoT to stream (including jokes about some of it being Pirate ASMArrr for how quiet and soft I play it sometimes).

Anyway, long rambling prologue to: now I really want to try Twitch streaming some text adventures. This sounds like a very appropriate use of the wonders of modern game video streaming technology, both sarcastically in the sense of my above finding silly things to stream for streaming's sake, and not at all facetiously in that if it did somehow attract an audience magically or mysteriously that sounds like an amazing way to play such games.
You can also make it never inline, and use the return address instead of program counter. That's what zig does to implement this feature ("error return traces").

What is material that is supposed to capitalize on surprise? It is one of those arguments that make these all discussions completely outside of my experience. I never seen material that would be harmed by that. Not even movies and I hate spoilers.

I was never triggered. I was never triggered by trigger warning either, I just don't care. For all I know, veterans and raped or abused people can have all the warnings they want and nothing whatsoever changes for me. They can not have them and nothing whatsoever changes for me.

These things are rarely core issues of lectures, triggers based on what I read can be completely random things (not actual depictions of rape, but smell, sound color) which may make them useless for most. And the hostility of the whole debate from anyone except those few directly affected is puzzling. Like, one 100 people will skip that one lecture that has detailed depiction of rape. Big deal.

Plus traditionally, education went out of its way to euphemise rapes and sex generally away. Like, calling using the word rape to characterize rape in old text did not used to be common. They used to prefer to talk about it in codes.
Punch cards are made thoroughly obsolete many orders of magnitude over by modern storage and IO technologies. What replaced Smith Charts? The >$100k only-a-few-years-old VNAs next room over still plot S11 and S22 on Smith Charts and I'd bet you an entire VNA that this will still be the case in 10 years.

Preemptive: No, 3D Smith Charts do not obsolete Smith Charts, just like 3D line charts don't obsolete 2D line charts.

I'd much rather put $50,000 down on something like a 30-yr mortgage for $250,000 in a diversified index fund than do the same in a house. But alas this isn't an available product.

About the region locked DVD's:

a) It was always very real for the stuff bought in a store. Jailbraking is hard for normal people.

b) The fact that it's a crime chills some jailbreakers, even if never enforced.

c) Once it's a crime, it could start to be enforced anytime and even selectively. Presumably with no shortage of reasonable-sounding people pointing out that guilt is evident and punishment as described by the law.
Fun fact: in no year since 1957 has the Japanese court system failed to convict at least 99.9% of indicted suspects.

Even more fun fact: this is not the strongest statement one could make. The last number I remember citing for it was something on the order of two dozen not guilty verdicts, nationwide, out of about 125,000 prosecutions in a year, but don't quote me on that.
I think we are living in times where people see your rightousness and appreciate it but when you take that to its logical extension i.e. upholding it at significant cost, you are labelled as a fanatic/nutjob/weirdo. As long as you pay lip-service and don't really take much real action, you are "normal"/one of us.

And I don't think it was always like this - freedom fighters who had strong beliefs and died to free my country, are hailed as heroes but when somebody actually lives those morals today, people shy away and call him/her as fundamentalist or whatever populist label is convenient.

Is the job to increase productivity? Or is it to remove entire classes of bugs while not killing productivity at the same time?
Singapore pays its cabinet ministers exceedingly well. But the other side of that coin is that the ruling party, the People's Action Party, which has won re-election every time since independence, has a pretty strict standard of who gets to join the party, and the previous generation of leaders have always been extremely judicious in who gets elevated to the rank of minister with the accompanying high salary.

The parallel is saying "Pay your employees well". Well of course, but you can't hire all and sundry and expect magic to happen in your startup. Incentives certainly matter, and can lead to great outcomes, but you can't have the wrong people in the seat in the first place. It is not just a pay issue that results in incompetent people in government.
MacOS isn’t updated every week, or even every month.
This particular parser is intended to be called from C.
Its core, implemented in 6502 assembly, is a streaming parser and emits a series of events to signal the boundary of objects or arrays and atomic values. For example `[1, {"a": true}]` will emit something like `abegin; number 1; obegin; okey "a"; true; oend; aend; end`. There is a supplementary C library that parses this into a recursive structure (you will typically need to do the linear search for keys then).

I recently moved and made a decision to only take with me what I could fit in my car. I have a cot, small 3-drawer chest, collapsable desk & chair, computer, a box of office supplies, a box of dishes, and not much else.

In fact, I've been pretty happy with this arrangement, so I don't really feel the need for anything more. It was easy to commit to, since I had deployed in the military with far less and when I would return, I would see a big pile of stuff that I didn't even miss.
Hmm. The silly and zany stuff was profitable then as well. Sure, not all of it (but nor is all of it today). The profit "on the silly stuff" then came mostly from speculative investment, buyouts and advertisers - not from direct consumer sales. I'm not sure how different that is from today. I'm not on the latest numbers; maybe you're better informed. Is the revenue being generated by today's startups more often and in larger quantities from direct consumer sales?

I found what you said about IPOs interesting. Why is it that you think going public (before or after being profitable) is an indicator of a bubble? It seems to me to be a minor detail.

From what I can tell (there is no universally accepted definition of a bubble) all that is needed for a bubble is for speculation (trade-value) to outgrow revenue (use-value) at the same time speculation appears to increase the demand for, lack of supply of, or actual underlying value of a business/commodity/whathaveyou. Upon entering a feedback loop of increased speculative investment because of rapidly inflating possible returns (which do pay out up until the bubble bursts) and increased returns because of rapid inflation in the amount of venture capital, the numbers get bigger on their own without a need for change in underlying value. That is until investors withdraw, causing capital and valuations to plummet, and more investors to withdraw, ad nauseum.

The important thing here is that the source of investment (venture/speculative) capital need not come from any particular source, be it public option or nay. It's possible in principle to have a bubble based on Venture Capital and private money, but its also true in practice that these VC firms are often traded publicly themselves and promise returns based on their investments.

The second paragraph and last sentence are fascinating, but isn't the hypothesis here that the bubble hasn't burst yet?
I am a bit confused. You say you are currently working in Rails, which is an open source framework built on top of an open source language.

What database are you using? PostgreSQL (open source), MySQL (potentially open source), MongoDB (open source), or something else? In my experience all of my Rails apps have been built on an open source database, though I know it is possible to use a proprietary one.

What web server are you using? Nginx (open source), Apache (open source), something else? I am absolutely sure you could run Rails on a non-open source web server, but I find that rather unlikely.

What OS are you using? This might be where you are not open source. But in production I would imagine the majority of Rails apps are deployed on a Linux/BSD platform... which are open source.

So I guess the question is, what is your stack?
