Clearly there are elements that we're lifted from anime tropes, including the age-play suggestive voice and costume, but I think what's novel about this is the format of the presentation. Poppy's not just a character that exists in a fictional setting, she's more of a persona, interacting with the real world and gaining real followers. She's using her platform - not just social media but the platform of fame itself - to make her statement. I'm not entirely clear on what that statement is, but that's kind of what I love about it.

> What would be the benefit of just buying a carrier in the US?

Buying a carrier would indeed be a bad move, both for competing with customers and maintaining a lot of infrastructure, but I could see Apple becoming an MVNO. Wireless companies are right down there with Comcast and the airlines in terms of customer satisfaction, so I would guess there are plenty of people willing to pay a bit more for a less hostile carrier.

> The Russians didn't force ~45% of eligible voters to be apathetic

They didn't "force" anyone to do anything, but it's a mistake to characterise what they do as aggressively pushing for a single candidate. Making people believe that the political system is not worth engaging in is absolutely a valid goal. I'm not saying that 45% of the US didn't vote because of Russia, I'm just saying it's also not 0%.
Float the idea of a union and Walmart will literally shut down a store.

Government and corporate attitude to unions has made American unions resistant to any change because they've been screwed over so many times. Tennessee went on a super strong anti-union campaign during the VW vote even when the company itself wanted a union to exist and red states keep passing initiatives like "right to work" laws that weaken unions or lessen their ability to advocate for workers. Unions have been under siege for decades, so it's very obvious why they're not interested in compromising with management when they lose in every single compromise to worker interests.

There should be no issue with compositing - photography itself is Art, choosing a smaller or larger aperture or shutter speed changes the image just like Photoshop - no reason to draw arbitrary lines.

Now, being clear about what* creative choices you made - that should be key and common sense as some publications/contests/etc have limits on what alterations they allow (Re: No compositing of a war photo on the cover of Time as an example).

Simply forcing photographers to provide their XMP sidecar (or equivalent) should be enough for validation IMO, I'm surprised such a standard for submission doesn't exist yet. I can't think of a workflow that wouldn't be possible in outside of crappy iphonography, and even there it should be eminently traceable.

Definitely the tooling is still a big problem, but there has been great improvements lately!

- HIE (Haskell IDE Engine) finally got some steam behind it, and has been chugging along for some time now, being very usable and targeting LSP!

- Intero (as you mention)

- ghcid is a nice lightweight alternative

I personally feel stack + hie is a very good setup, and can be used in VSCode, Atom, Neovim and emacs via LSP clients.

Error messages are slowly improving. GHC 8.2 got nice highlighting of the location of the error and some colouring, bringing it just a little further. I personally like how nice Elm is, but then again it has the advantage of a much simpler type systems, which significantly simplifies error handling.

Yes it does, because USDT is (supposedly) inherently pegged to the dollar. It's used as a vehicle for stability when normal banking is not available.

Not all religious people try to recruit others, I never have, and not all of them indoctrinate or coerce it into their children. I haven't. Some do, sure. That's on them, but 'religion' is a huge category.

For what it's worth, my religious beliefs are shall we say pretty individual. I have no reason to protect, support or defend any other religions. I regard many of them to be pretty appalling in a variety of ways and some of them certainly do engage in aggressive proselytising, deceptive practices and such. But not all of them. In general, specific examples aside, the things I have against them have nothing to do with pyramid selling though and lazy opportunistic slurring like this does nobody any favours.

When used for mixed content, Mark is not necessarily always slower than JSON. Many existing JSON-based DOM solutions, like JsonML and virtual-dom, need to use several JS objects to represent one element, but Mark uses only one JS object.

It's pretty clear that tether is a scam. A more interesting question to me is whether a legitimate tether could break even. That is, is the risk-free demand deposit interest rate high enough to support the services that would be needed for a full reserve cryptocoin? Services which include creation/redemption facilities, proof of work rewards to drive a blockchain, and third party audits to ensure that the trusts aren't stealing the reserves.

For reference the current market cap of tether is (allegedly) around $2.2B, which at the overnight rate would generate around $30 million a year in interest.

I agree that the audit failure makes Tether look super shady.

But when traders continue to buy and sell within 1% of parity, that's a signal that maybe there's more going on here.

I don't buy the concept that Bitfinex can somehow rig the price on other exchanges. If traders are all selling Tether, while simultaneously new Tethers are getting printed, then the price should tank.

When the price doesn't tank, that should tell us there's more to the story.

The most interesting bit was highlighted by Matt Levine [1]:

10. WE SUPPORT THAT AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES (AVS) IN DENSE URBAN AREAS SHOULD BE OPERATED ONLY IN SHARED FLEETS.

Due to the transformational potential of autonomous vehicle technology, it is critical that all AVs are part of shared fleets, well-regulated, and zero emission. Shared fleets can provide more affordable access to all, maximize public safety and emissions benefits, ensure that maintenance and software upgrades are managed by professionals, and actualize the promise of reductions in vehicles, parking, and congestion, in line with broader policy trends to reduce the use of personal cars in dense urban areas.

As he points out:

> Yes that's right, in the driverless-car future, Uber will be lobbying cities to forbid you from owning a private car that might compete with Uber. Cars need to be in "well-regulated" fleets to "ensure that maintenance and software upgrades are managed by professionals." You wouldn't want an unregulated amateur to be in charge of a car's maintenance! That would be anarchy.

I think you're right that this is a mess, my only uncertainty is whether it's garden variety incompetence or active bad faith. For an auditor to fire you, either you have to not be paying your bills for a long time or you have to be deeply uncooperative or insanely demanding.

That said, the consensus I've heard from my audit colleagues (I work in public accounting) is that no one has the slightest freaking clue how to audit crypto. So I could see the audit taking exceptionally long, causing friction in the relationship which eventually blew up into a full on breakdown. If that's the case, Tether's leadership probably had a poor understanding of the complexities involved. Sometimes that's the client's fault, but sometimes it's the accounting firm making too aggressive of a pitch to sell the work.

But the bank account issue makes me think bad faith. That shows a willingness to disregard rules and mislead fiduciary business partners, which is pretty much an auditor's nightmare client.

Pretty damn good advice.

With regards to exercise and breaks (two of the items in here), I think it is pretty much proven to be beneficial for productivity as well, but just to add my anecdotal success...:

I used to hit the gym at around 18-19 in the evening. I would often be tired and the gym would be crowded.

Then I switched to going around 13-14, breaking up my day. I found it gave me tremendous energy coming back from the gym to the office - and I would often have new ideas on how to solve, whatever I was working on.

So if you have this kind of freedom in planning your workday, I encourage you to try it out - exercise in the middle of the day.
I don't know if I can agree with you on this. In ~2016 I built a PC (i7, 24GB RAM, 1.5TB ssd, gtx 1080) and my 2014 17 inch mbp has slowly been closing the gap. This is probably more due to software optimizations than hardware, but things just open and close more smoothly and quickly these days on the laptop.

I think the real issue is that Windows hasn't been effectively utilizing the RAM I've given it.
The thesis seems to be that represenative democracy doesn't scale past a certain ratio. 10E7 : 1 is an extremely centralized system.

"This is a fairly unique and cool aspect of Haskell, especially if you come from the C++ world".

That's not true at all - what Haskell has here that C++ or D don't is type inference so that explicit type annotations aren't needed. The read function in C++ would be

#include <string>
#include <iostream>

T read(const string& str);

int read(const string& str) {

The Senate isn't supposed to represent the people. They were originally supposed to be the bulwark against the "rapid" (2-year) change of the House of Representatives to prevent mob rule. That is, until we amended the Constitution to make them elected by popular vote.

There are far more representatives in Congress than Senators, to the tune of almost 3:1, which is still too low.

The way we fix this is by fixing our local governments first. The States determine the number of Representatives based upon their districting and constitutions.

The answer is to fight to fix the districting and run as a representative.

Although I love books, these years I'm limiting my physical book purchases to three or so a year due to lack of space, but I would get this one without even a second thought.

I don't want to believe that I live in a world where this book can't get a physical edition to make it justice. One way or another, it must be done.

The whole purpose of Tether is to trade USD after Bitfinex lost USD banking relationships.

No naturally, if banking relationships were public, they would be at risk.

More likely, these aren't traditional bank accounts at all. These are probably dollars pledged by corporations and hedge funds but held in bank accounts of those corporations and hedge funds, not in Bitfinex's name.
