> Now, when that kind of relationship turns into getting the government to go after your competitors, overlook actions that are themselves unethical, make life more difficult for anyone not as large as you, that's highly unethical.

But that is what the competition is doing. You can't ask a CEO not to do the best to protect his employees and shareholder value. The CEO of any large American corporation has this huge and unresolvable ethical dilemma.

This is a symptom of rule by men, as opposed to rule by law.

Rule by men is what the American voters want. It is what allows them to "get away with" all kinds of social programs---both conservative and liberal ones.

Given a choice between sacrificing the public and sacrificing my company, I personally, if I were a major corporation CEO, would put my company first. In other words, I'd choose to play it Game of Thrones style.

Yes, but as long as nothing is stopping them from simply minting out of thin air, I wouldn't bet against their ability to keep pushing the prices up.

Daily volumes of tether trades are consistently a high multiple of the total supply. (Today it's 130bln vs 30bln.) So I don't know if it's safe to even trust that number.

As per Steins law, anything that cannot go on forever must eventually stop. Question is how long?

This kind of news really isn't that surprising. What's concerning (if you're from the UK) is that unfortunately the current government don't seem keen to admit the reality of the impact to trade that brexit will have.

Without that admission, it's hard for them to come up with strategies to mitigate it.

You see this lack of acknowledgement of the inevitable here and also on the situation with Northern Ireland and the impact on export businesses in the UK

Possibly, but I sure would like some data on this. Theoretically, I could try this out by getting approved from the CIO first and then just checking the hash vs the hash for passwordpasswordpassword and passwordpasswordpasswordpassword as well as any password in the top 100 from the previous leak that was > 16 characters (not sure if there are any). As said, I'd like some to get some real data as opposed to stipulations, but obviously it's hard to get this kind of data.

Google has a big opportunity here. Delicious is one of the best social search products out there. Any real google innovation in social would be boosted by the user data and brand. Not to mention the pr boost from saving them. Much as many on HN and elsewhere are suggesting the viability of alternatives, few of them seem to compare in terms of data and function right now. Not that this couldn't change quickly.

I don't think that's the case. I think the example was just to show how you can write with spaces instead of underscores. I could be wrong though, I haven't tried the language.

The documentation doesn't state one way or the other, but it does include underscores as part of identifiers, and doesn't mention any stripping. Only that spaces are ignored entirely.
Two of the worst offenders are overly-specific user agents (a setting which should definitely be configurable) and list of plugins (which I see no reason for being available).

Well, you own some means of production, but not all of them. The copyright, the data centers, etc.

But most importantly you don't own the distribution channels. In the days of Marx if you made the goods you were guaranteed to sell them, but we live in the world of Keynes and making the goods is the easy part but selling them is the hard part.

Our current belief is that there are several game mechanics and game-like visualizations that will help students measure their progress and maintain momentum. We don't know this for certain, but there is already anecdotal evidence that these kinds of things are motivating students at the Khan Academy. In the short term, the plan is to collect a lot of data to see exactly how these kinds of features impact the students and teachers that use them.

LitElement + native Web APIs, Deno on Google Cloud Run. Not novel as they've been rolling along a few years, but not as widely used/known. Easier to developer with overall: easier to manage state, loosely couple/compose components, better performance both in development and for end-use, easier to directly use native web APIs--both on the frontend and in middleware, potentially eliminating part or all of build processes.

The Mormons kicked out of Missouri were free people before and after. They had access to all kinds of resources, were allowed to get an education, own land, accumulate wealth and (with limited exceptions) vote, etc.

Meanwhile basically all Black people in America were enslaved for the next 30 years, millions died under slavery and millions were suddenly freed and given nothing. "Separate but equal" wasn't even for another 30 years and segregation & Jim Crow were another 70 years after that!

By the time Black people were reasonably allowed to participate in US society, politics & business they had been forcibly held back in the only ways to get ahead (accumulating education, land and money) by hundreds of years.

It is tricky at first, but one must learn to accept both that there is only one human race, and also that some people are so bigoted that they will treat skin colors and countries of origin as excuses for denying human rights.

The article's best line is, "O’Brien ends up reinforcing the very idea he wants to challenge: that someone’s identity must define their politics." Because classical liberals are encouraged to selfishly vote along their identity lines, they become inured to the idea that we live in a society and we need to vote in ways that improve all of our lives.
i use `venv`s for every project inside the project folder so uctags also generates tags for all libraries installed and i can "drill all the way up" to classes and definitions.

it's also possible to have the system libraries show up in the tag database, it's just a matter of telling uctags which path's, files to include/exclude or alternatively use another tag file for that, vim can use multiple tag files.

Oh?

Yours is the first system I've found that has this very important feature -- the whole reason I do it my way is because I can dill down into the actual installed libraries, whereas IDEs almost always fail. (It's hit or miss. Yeah, theoretically you can configure the IDE properly if you spend your life becoming an IDE master and have a 96-core workstation, but it never seems to "just work.")

I like the choice of name. Fluxus was probably one of the most influential conceptual art collectives of all time ;)

I’ve recently become interested in immediate mode UIs, and find that there are surprising similarities to React. In both cases, components are just functions that must explicitly render their child components and pass down any shared state. It’s conceptually a very clean way to handle UI state.

However, React introduces a lot of complexity to avoid unnecessary DOM updates, which makes me wonder about the viability of an immediate mode GUI in the browser using canvas.
Bitcoin is the mongodb of finance:
You like its features but in reality most people don't need them.

Mongo's scalability sounds great until you find yourself reimplementing a relational database for your 1000 users app.

Bitcoin decentralisation sounds great but must people don't need it.

The problem is under-specified. When you move a slider, how should the other two adjust? There are many possible solutions and you haven't specified any preference here.

The easiest solution is to maintain a fixed order of preference, something like:

values = [a:0, b:0, c:0]
fn onChange(key, value) {
values[key] = value
for (k,v) in values {
if (k !== key) values[k] = adjust(k)
}
}
fn adjust(key) {
switch(key) {
case 'a': return max(0, values[c] - values[b])
case 'b': return max(0, values[c] - values[a])
case 'c': return values[a] + values[b]
}
}

The alternative is to maintain the latest selections made by the user and use that as the iteration order.

Whatever approach you go with, the "single source of truth" approach of react/vue/svelte + state (whether it is state in hooks, redux, mobx or whatever) holds. The "values" above is the source of truth, and the components just reflect that.

In other words: from a state point of view you don't have three sliders each with a value but a "three-valued component that happens to be shown as three sliders".
Your characterization of point 1, at least, makes no sense to me. All the NYT article says on that point is:

>In one post, he aligned himself with Charles Murray, who proposed a link between race and I.Q. in “The Bell Curve.” In another, he pointed out that Mr. Murray believes Black people “are genetically less intelligent than white people.”

I don't understand why you would say it is dishonest to dissect that paragraph and point out that Scott agreed with Murray on something non-racist, and quoted a racist statement without agreeing with it. Scott is not agreeing with "The Bell Curve" and Scott has not said that he believes that black people are "genetically less intelligent than white people.” Before defending yourself against such accusations it would be wise to point out that they are baseless, and of course it's much wiser to leave it at that.
> My whole brain is awake the first night in a new place. I just can't sleep.

Me too, it usually takes me 3 nights to really feel like I'm able to sleep.

The first 2 nights I'm pretty much consciously awake the whole time. By the 3rd night I usually have spurts of dreams I can remember and generally feel more rested the day after.

I don't have any issues sleeping at home tho. I tend to goto bed when I feel tired, fall asleep easily and haven't woken up to an alarm clock in 15 years other than a few times where I set it because I had to be up much earlier than usual for very important things.
> Institutional investors did do what people suspect wsb of doing.

Buying based on observing market conditions or seeing the posts in reddit wouldn’t have been questionably legal afaik. Only actively coordinating e.g. through posts on Reddit or phone calls or a Smoky back room could be argued to be market manipulation I think? If they were posting in Reddit to feed the squeeze that’s when stuff may get problematic.

> I'm slightly confused about voting multiple people for a larger area. Is this PR, or something else good?

It may or may not be PR. It depends on how you elect those multiple people: They may be elected under a PR system, or they may be elected under something non-proportional.

I'm for PR in general. I'm not sure how I'd feel about a PR-per-constituency approach.
The idea of using a table to represent a function implementation was proposed by Parnas, but in the context of software documentation.

This is quite nice if you can choose which function to represent with a table (as opposed to having to represent all functions as tables).

A recent publication on this:

Parnas D., Document based rational software development, Journal of Knowledge-Based Systems, 22(3):132-141, 2009. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.knosys.2008.11.001

For me school absolutely sucked. I liked being able to meet my peers but it was like having an unpaid job where the only benefit is your office colleagues.

I like posting this Chomsky video whenever school discussions come up. It largely reflects my own feelings and experiences in school. I think for many people who say they enjoyed school, the idea that some people might look at the school system the way Chomsky does, might come as a surprise.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVqMAlgAnlo

I believe the school systems completely fails a segment of the student population, wasting their gifts and abilities because they have created a system where docility and subservience are a prerequisite to success. If my future kids inherit my dispositions, I won't hesitate to pull them out of the standard school system and find some alternative schooling methods. The standard school system chews up and spits out countless brilliant children simply because they won't unquestioningly do what some untrusted adult tells them to.
In no way was that dismissive, I thank you for providing another perspective, that's always welcome in my book!

I don't necessarily agree with all the implementation details of xstate, in particular to where the logic tend to be located in practice, and the reliance on the Actor model for many things in the wild. I rather try to guide people to Statecharts as a paradigm overall, and if you happen to use JS, I think xstate is probably the most mature library there. But as all libraries/frameworks, they can be over-relied upon.

If you're in the Clojure/Script world, which is where I mainly locate myself, then https://lucywang000.github.io/clj-statecharts/ is all you need and so far the library I've had the best luck with.
There's some muddled thinking going on there. The source doesn't make the argument that Bitcoin isn't energy intensive. If that's an issue for you, you should re-evaluate your views on Bitcoin, but denying it doesn't change the fact.

Otherwise we're just arguing that "water isn't wet" and what the definition of "is" is.
That's basically what modern JS frontend frameworks do as well. I suppose as soon as something becomes too complex, keeping track of all interactions is just too complicated and rerendering the entire world efficiently looks like an easier problem to deal with.

I like the current trend of going back to renderless components as well. This way you separate the state changes from the way it looks like. Feels like each component is a miniature MVC framework with front and a back.
A discussion in good faith does not begin with "[TFA] is twisting the truth."
" I'm curious why these structures seem to rise" - ask yourself about your state religion, the neoliberalism. You might be less clueless about that.
The concept of a “profession” or “field” is, properly speaking, meaningless, because every situation is slightly different. What is, then, this concept we have of what a fair wage ought to be for any given group of people with a similar occupation? I would guess that the concept of fair wages is a rudimentary, and emotion-based, form of unionization. If everybody can’t help but feel upset about something which is “unfair”, this is, in effect, a form of collective action – a sort of union you can’t help but be a member of.

In this light, the idea of a location-based pay can be seen as a simple hack to neutralize this de-facto union. If people otherwise aren’t unionized, this hack gives employers back the sole power in the employer-employee relationship, which was what employers wanted from the start.

> I object to the designation "whiteknight"

You're behaving in the very definition of the term, no matter how much people might dislike its over-application, and how it's almost applied to anything one does online - you'll excuse my generalization about as easily as you'll accept the term, I'm sure.

You're behaving as if you know what's best for resources you don't even own, nor operate yourself. Why not just let Valve and Github work out policies between each other.

Your knee-jerk is the very essence of vigilantism, albeit online social justice: hence whiteknight. You might not like the pejorative, but it fits perfectly for the action.

Maybe think before you speak? Not everyone needs an activist. Valve and GitHub are big boys, they can fight with eachother - though by the sounds of it they're not fighting at all.
So what's constructivism useful for anyway? Why change the basis of logic instead of proving non-constructability within the reasonable existing logics? (E.g. prove a real number isn't constructable instead of foregoing it's existence)

There are also cases of interest beyond constructivism: what if a number is non-constructible but can be approximated? Saying it doesn't exist doesn't sound particularly useful.
Legitimate futurists are objecting to some pop-culture nonsense with NFT's, cryptocurrency, etc., often describing such things as scams. I suspect that the author may've had that in mind there.

It may be sorta like the problem with science: there's real science and pop-culture science-flavored junk, and pop-culture audiences may perceive real scientists as dismissive because they're always so critical of the latest pop-culture fads.

So while futurists may love new-tech and scientists may love science, pop-culture may see things differently because they see futurists/scientists dismissing (what they perceive to be) new-tech/science.
Their app and particulant metrics/ graphing are kind of neat and user friendly. You can do stuff like have it run on a schedule or run when air quality gets below a certain threshold. I knew that there were better cost for air purifying options out there, but the metrics and graphing kind of sold me.
I'm pretty sure I've sent those kind of misguided congratulations, probably twice that I can remember.

The other was just updating the name of the company because it had just been bought out. I never got a response from either of them.
