3. What do you think are the chances of a small number of unaccountable corporations using their power and influence to suppress speech they don't like?

I fear this is the far more likely outcome and is a symptom of there being no truly "public" space on the internet. If it was the government censoring Nazis the answer would be pretty clear-cut - government censorship is bad - and plenty of court precedent would back that up. Since it's now private entities censoring information, what recourse does the censored have? Stop using these products? What if that product is a near-monopoly search engine or a near-monopoly social network? What if no private company is willing to bear the burden of protecting someone's first amendment rights if it costs them revenue?

I don't disagree with your explanation. But the core point of objects is to bind a state and some method implementations.

No idea.

Though I can say that often enough critics see in a work of art (be it a book, a painting, a music or a movie) even more than what the Author actually meant.

The only thing that strikes me is that - though a classic - it is not among the most reknown ones from Hitchcock among the "new generations", most probably if you ask anyone younger than - say - forty the only Hitchcock's film he/she will remember will be probably Psycho.

So, assuming that the author of the medium post is not that age or over it (and according to the "if I can get enough money for a nice early 20s retirement out of this" it should mean that the post author is twenty something), it is a "strange" choice, contradicting - possibly on purpose - other anecdata sparsed here and there (without any apparent reason), such as the use of Tinder, the reference to Bastille Day fireworks, the notion that 253 ETH are roughly "half a year salary", and possibly a few more that I overlooked and that seem "not needed" in the context.

The image conveyed is that of a single twentysomething (if male possibly gay, since the reference of Tinder is to a "he" that turned our as a creep and later there is a "I am not a rich guy") LEO (or however belonging to a security related organization) IT specialist (specifically working on monitoring coin exchanges of dubious nature), living in France (or however a place where the 14th July is celebrated with fireworks) and with a yearly wage around 120-140K US$, with a family composed of father and mother, an older brother and a younger sister, that had a work trip on monday 17 July 2017.

I agree with you, but I think syncing is itself a 'first-world problem', in that you need to be able to own multiple devices in the first place to even worry about syncing.

If you have metered/expensive internet, modern smartphones are going to present all kinds of problems, syncing aside (e.g. app download sizes for one).
The goal of programming is to reduce all parts to such simplicity that they become boringly simple, and thus impossible to get wrong. Concepts are only interesting while we don’t fully understand them yet; when we’re done fully understanding them, they become boring and we move on to the next thing. Thus, the solution to programming is to compose programs out of boringly simple parts, using a boringly simple method of composition.

It might not be all that good if your an Californian start up trying to make money on the European and Asian market as what was a hard sell, now got harder.

For really deep, structural (and large datasets), then it's pretty difficult to avoid downtime.

That said, those circumstances are hopefully pretty rare. We generally write scripts that bridge between the two formats. One to copy/transform and one to cleanup after. Run the transform, test and verify, then move to cleanup.

It's a huge pain, but if you keep on top of if --especially the cleanup-- then it gets easier. It tends to get really hard once you get a lot of cruft. You end up with the code vs data dichotomy. So keeping on top of that really helps longer term.
Please excuse this off-topic comment, but the webpage is severely dysfunctional. Unless JavaScript is enabled in the browser, the page will just display a loading screen. All the content is right there in the HTML and it would be perfectly readable if it wasn't deliberately obscured by the "loading" screen.[1] I'm sure the idea is that the page will load perfectly all at once, there won't be flashes of unstyled text and so on, but for me it just means that the real content won't load at all. Curiously, mobile users (or other users with small screens) are spared the loading page.[2] That's nice for mobile users, I guess, but as a desktop user it's just salt in the wound. If the plain page is good enough for mobile users, why isn't it good enough for me?

Please, web developers, stop doing this. It's not just the minority of people who browse with JavaScript disabled who are bothered by this, think of all the people on slow Internet connections who have to wait for your megabyte+ JavaScript program to download and execute before they can read the content of the 50 KB HTML page.

On the other hand, a little knowledge is often worse that no knowledge at all.

A lack of experience using abstract concepts - the experience which can only be gained by learning much more of, let's say, abstract algebra, than just the definition of monoid - will inevitably lead to wasting one's time or, worse yet, to the finished product being an over-engineered monstrosity.

Here's an example of a monoidal structure used in the design of an elegant algebra for manipulating graphs (the network-of-nodes kind)

https://blogs.ncl.ac.uk/andreymokhov/an-algebra-of-graphs/

Representing graphs is a bit of a problem in Haskell, due to the difficulty of creating/working with cyclical structures, and the previous solutions were not really convincing. So in some ways this might be seen as a problem immutable data purists created for themselves. (Not my opinion)

But, either way, the ability to reason about and derive algebraic models for some problem domain is worth pursuing in general. Mathematically structured software is a fast track to robust, reliable, verified solutions to problems. That's propaganda but there's a fair amount of support for it.

An idea that comes up in functional programming that has a similar algebraic quality to monoids etc. is the notion of a type which contains only one value (usually called "Unit") and a type which contains no values ("Bottom" or _|_). The latter is described as "uninhabited" and is used, among other things, to usefully describe the type of a function which never returns. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_type

Unit represents a value which is like a point in a space which contains only one point. It gets used to send signals with no content. For example, in predecessors of Go, there's the pattern of sending on a "channel of unit" as a way to essentially indicate an event to the receiver. Obviously in that use case, a type with any distinguishable values would be superfluous.

My point was that they are different religions, absolutely, but they believe in the same God. They believe different things about what God did, and how He asks us to behave. They differ to their core, but still, they believe in the same God.

> Why are these three religions special?
I didn't claim they were a complete set (they're not, you have to include Mormonism and other non-trinitarian religions that believe in Christ, then to a lesser extent you have Baha'i (which it turns out is literally answering this question) and the Yazidi faith, and probably more). Once you get to monotheistic religions that aren't descended from Abraham, it's a more philosophical question. If there were a tribe in South America that believed in a god that revealed himself to Atik and chose the Inca as his chosen people, on the other hand, would obviously be believing in a different god. Polytheistic or pantheistic (nature is God) faiths are quite clearly not believing in the same god.

> Are you saying that the person being female casts doubt on the initial analysis of the person as a warrior?

No -- Her being a female makes her classification as a warrior interesting (i.e. worthy of publication in American Journal of Physical Anthropology).

Let's say someone went through and did genetic analysis on e.g. 10,000 Viking bodies each of which was considered to belong to a warrior with 95% likelihood. Finding that one of those bodies was female would not justify a conclusion of "A female Viking warrior confirmed by genomics".

The above, however, are just some random thoughts in answer to your question; it is not "what I'm saying". I'm merely defending the author of the linked post against claims that she is being pedantic: Taking issue with an article titled "A female Viking warrior confirmed by genomics" is not pedantic if the individual was not a warrior. Note that I take absolutely no position on whether she's right about there being legitimate doubt as to whether or not the individual was a warrior, I merely note that while the objection may be foolish, but it is absolutely not pedantic.

I was able to setup a 90 day alert with Transunion using the link you provided. It was a breeze to do so. However I noticed that even though I was already signed in to Transunion website, I had to sign in again.

The other thing I found confusing was that the website for doing this was different from the core Transunion website which was also different for Transunion's TrueIdentity website.

Overall, it's simply been confusing trying to figure out what steps to take and where/how to do them to abate negative effects of this data breach. It feels 'weird'/frustrating spending this amount of time/effort to fix issues which are due to someone else's laxity and when it seems like the responsible party is not doing as much but then I guess this is one sure and hard way to learn the lesson - you can't control what happens to you but you can control how you react to things.

Equifax gave me "Our system is currently unavailable".
What's damaging to the culture of this site is describing strong gender bias and oppression as "women were given the opportunity to be homemakers instead of laborers."

The phrase is not "professional" but do you think it's wrong? Would you say policies where, for example, women couldn't get credit cards without their husband's permission, or black people couldn't go to certain schools, cannot be described as the country having its head in its ass?

I don't think full gender parity in all careers is likely to happen, nor necessarily a worthy goal. Full gender parity in opportunity, however, is extremely important, and this era you're romanticizing with an outrageously misleading description was far, far, far from equal opportunity.

Exactly. People who say "Trump is not a Nazi" simply don't know the history of 1930s Germany and how Nazis actually went from a fringe movement to the major party in power.

Back then the German middle class, who were similarly sheltered in their own bubbles and concerned with their own mundane troubles, also watched from the sidelines and engaged in whataboutism and pointed fingers at anti-fascists who violently opposed Nazis. This only served to empower the Nazis though and we all know how things ended up.
> Please do not use the ASCII grave accent (0x60) as a left quotation mark together with the ASCII apostrophe (0x27) as the corresponding right quotation mark (as in `quote').

Tell that to GCC:

(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `main'

> Where ``quoting like this'' comes from

I did it for a while out of a habit acquired from working with TeX. In TeX, it is the source code syntax for encoding quotes. Of course, it is lexically analyzed and converted to proper typesetting.

> If you can use only ASCII’s typewriter characters, then use the apostrophe character (0x27) as both the left and right quotation mark (as in 'quote').

It looks like shit in any font in which the apostrophe is a little nine, which is historically correct. What you want is a little "six" on one side and a "nine" on the other, or at least some approximation thereof. Even if the apostrophe is crappily rendered as a little vertical notch, it still pairs with a backwards-slanted `.

(The representation of apostrophe as a little vertical notch, I suspect, caters to literals in programming languages.)

> If you can use Unicode characters ...

then you should still stick to ASCII unless you have other good reasons to. ``Can'' is not the same thing as ``should'', let alone ``must''.

> For example, 0x60 and 0x27 look under Windows NT 4.0 with the TrueType font Lucida Console (size 14) like this:

The idea that people should change their behavior because of which font is default on the Windows cmd.exe console is laughable.
Interpretability in Conversation with Patrick Hall and Sameer Singh
The US hasn't really legitimized anything new. If you are a major power with barely competent government, you have been concerned about technological sovereignty for decades now.
At the moment, in a country with much worse/more expensive internet than what I'm used to, though still very good by global standards.

In seriousness though, I'm optimistic for fast worldwide internet. There are new solutions for low-population density areas on the horizon. If you look at current stats, about 47% of the world are online now, up from 16% a decade ago. In the developing world it's 40% up from 8%. I actually think in some ways it's an easier problem to solve than, for example, access to clean water. I wouldn't be surprised if this reaches 90% in a decade.

I imagine bigger problems will be variance in speed and latency, and artificial restrictions on supply/metering, and product design not accounting for this. Which we're already seeing in e.g. app sizes, webpage sizes.
