I'm 42 and my wife is 43. We've been married 20 yrs and decided before we got married that we didn't want children unless we could come up with compelling reasons to do so. We never did.

We got crap from family, a few friends (good friends were fine about it) and, lots of strangers for whom it should have been none of their business.

Basically, when most people ask why, there's no answer other than infertility that results in anything other than them telling us we're wrong. So many people who have or want to have kids see voluntarily choosing not to have them as not just a personal choice, but as an affront to everything they believe in.

That's not even to mention those who want and can't have kids who have gotten really bitter when the topic comes up. I just avoid it whenever I can.

On the plus side, as we passed 40, I think people assume that we couldn't rather than we chose not to have kids and very few people ask anymore.

If you have or want kids and that makes you happy, wonderful. But, far too many people take what's a pretty longstanding decision as a challenge to convince us to change our minds.

No, they don’t, and shouldn’t.

I’m free to offend the sensibilities of China, disgrace the Ayatollah, and violate a wide variety of other “local laws” from the comfort of my home or workplace.

If those places don’t like it, they’re also free to censor content until such time that their populace won’t tolerate it any longer.

From the Django tutorial:

> Generating admin sites for your staff or clients to add, change, and delete content is tedious work that doesn’t require much creativity. For that reason, Django entirely automates creation of admin interfaces for models.

> Django was written in a newsroom environment, with a very clear separation between “content publishers” and the “public” site. Site managers use the system to add news stories, events, sports scores, etc., and that content is displayed on the public site. Django solves the problem of creating a unified interface for site administrators to edit content.

> The admin isn’t intended to be used by site visitors. It’s for site managers.

Touche. I felt that one at least kept many of the same events. Just omitted things in a way that changed the theme. That said, I can see the err in that way of looking at it.

Wing Commander felt different because it was basically keeping a few of the names, but a completely different story. Not even the same mechanics, since there was no magic to the main character in maneuvering through space in the games. That just came out of nowhere.
Dominant in legalize has a slightly different meaning. Especially when often akward or even weird jurisprudence comes into play.
You could for example wager that if Amazon's position in market A is strong enough to dictate a dominant position in market B; this would make them a "dominant actor" in market A per definition and intent of the legislators. As such, any court could reasonably conclude that Amazon needs to be sodomized.

I liken it more to Evan investing "hammock time" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f84n5oFoZBc) into Elm because he has loftier goals than just another SPA abstraction. Which is a bit different than perfection.

There are just too many cats that can be released from the bag that would be too hard to reverse once out in the ecosystem. Classic example would be allowing native modules into http://package.elm-lang.org/.

This puts you in a position of treading cautiously with the long-term in mind while your users may clamor for quick fixes that jeopardize the overall strategy.

So I agree with you. This results in the "something good vs nothing at all" release cycle that you point out, but I think its a more accurate explanation of why that is.

The rest of the issues seem to be related to his limited bandwidth. And I suspect Elm is tied so much to his bandwidth because such fundamental design is still being decided.
I agree with you. Following every law is neither practical and in the case of censorship even counterproductive.

I still laugh at the argument that there are fewer women in tech because computers were marketed as a toy for boys. The thing is: when I started with the computers (some thirty years ago) almost nobody had them at home in my country, and they sure were not advertised as any kind of toy for anyone. Actually, back then even the concept of advertising was new to us. Yet the computers at the university computer labs were all occupied by guys.
Interestingly enough my computer science teacher at the school was a woman. I am grateful to her, because she tught me to program without even having access to computer (the course was about basics: variables, algorithms, control flow, etc. By the time I was able to access the computer all I needed was syntax for that particular language).
My computer science teacher in the university was also a woman. And one of the best known computer science educator in my country, author of many books was also a woman.
And nobody thought that was somehow peculiar or strange.
My degree was in hard science (BS in chemistry and physics, then MS in physics and astronomy). I think the had about an equal split between men and women as our professors. Once again, nobody thought twice about that.

But it was still exclusively guys spending their free time in the computer labs.

> International websites have to respect local laws.

No way.

If I, a US citizen, publish a website hosted in the US that is critical of the Turkish president, should a Turkish court be able to compel me to take it down or block access from Turkey?

What if I'm Israeli and I publish open source software, source and binary hosted in Israel, that is against US hacking laws. Should a US court be able to order an Israeli to stop doing something that is legal in Israel?

(Both of these are hypothetical, I don't know if there are such laws.)

If I have no business in a country (or pseudo country like EU) they should have no jurisdiction over me. I shouldn't have to comply with every crazy authoritarian, free speech suppressing, restricted use country in the world.

If countries want to prosecute their own citizens for visiting my site, consuming my content, or using my software, that is their business.

Now if I do business in that country... that is different, then they might have some legal jurisdiction over me.

> 4) A disclaimer that people should check their local law

How perverse. If you extrapolate this, any web site warning anybody about anything could be seen as endorsing that activity. "Child pornography is illegal and not supported by this web site" becomes "You knew there were child pornographers accessing your web site and this is proof you were aiding and abetting child pornography".
It's almost certainly illegal. At this point in the fight, Google and Amazon have both committed several blatant violations of antitrust law. And the US FTC has done nothing about it.

It's possible they don't think two monopolies doing illegal things to each other is a problem, or that it cancels out somehow. Or they just don't want to do anything in general, as the case seems to be.

I fear that with the number of anticompetitive actions the government has failed to act on at this point, companies may legitimately be able to claim as a defense that the government allowing these actions for so long was implicit acceptance of them as legal.
Everyone's preferences are going to have some social element. Why is this a bad thing? The only thing that should matter is that people are free to pursue whatever life they are interested in, whatever the reason.

> total blockage “revenge” is just plain childish

The article claims that they're doing it to protect themselves from future lawsuits, not as "revenge":

"Q: Why block all of Germany, rather than just those 18 books?

A: PGLAF's legal advisors disagree with all claims that there must be any blocking, or removal, or anything associated - censorship, fines/fees, disclaimers, etc. - for items that are in the public domain in the US. Period.[1]

Because the German Court has overstepped its jurisdiction, and allowed the world's largest publishing group to bully Project Gutenberg for these 18 books, there is every reason to think that this will keep happening. There are thousands of eBooks in the Project Gutenberg collection that could be subject to similar over-reaching and illigitimate actions.

PGLAF is a small volunteer organization, with no income (it doesn't sell anything), other than donations. There is every reason to fear that this huge corporation, with the backing of the German Court, will continue to take legal action. In fact, at least one other similar complaint arrived in 2017 about different books in the Project Gutenberg collection, from another company in Germany."

[1] For the reasoning behind this, see the quotes in my earlier comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16512068
Just to be clear: I'm in the UK (as are my businesses), I'm generally an advocate of strong privacy protections, I can and do put my money where my mouth is by supporting various organisations that defend such protections, I have read the entire GDPR and a large amount of guidance related to it, I have consulted with other experts on it, and from day one my businesses have always followed careful practices in terms of how much data we collect, what we do with it (nothing at all shady) and how we store it.

In short, my view that the GDPR is bad law doesn't come from a culture shock, a lack of familiarity, or a lack of understanding or expert advice. It comes from not liking poorly-written EU laws that are open to abuse, and from direct personal experience (described in more detail in other comments, so I won't that repeat here) that such laws can actually be abused in practice with potentially serious consequences. And it comes from not liking vague regulation where you don't know how far you really have to go to comply and what the real rules of the game are, and misjudging in either direction has a cost.

Researchers Devise a New Way to Solve Long-Standing Mystery About the Universe
You are assuming that we have few people who would actually enjoy being a janitor or plumber and I can assure you that's wrong. People don't go into those professions because of economic and societal pressures (something you are perpetuating by implying that tue aforementioned are not prestigious or 'good' professions). More over, my point is not that everyone should or would even want to become an artist. It is the fact that many people are not given a balanced choice.
> I just wanted to point out that the reaction of the court isn’t as entirely pointless as it may seem on first thought.

And I think you’re right to do so!

Honestly, regarding the whole case, I think the court has erred in accepting the publisher’s argument that Project Gutenberg is a valid target for a lawsuit in Germany.

If the publisher wants the books removed it should sue in the US, if it wants to prevent access from Germany it should seek another local remedy.
What would be the consequence of not complying? Would they just require German ISPs to filter the site? Could they enforce a judgement on a US company?
Odd, link works for me. In case you want to search for it, it’s lawsuit C‑314/12, the document identifier seems to be ECLI:EU:C:2014:192

Obviously I was using a hyperbole, amplifying some angles, to get my point across as I thought that in your replies there was a lot of one sidedness. Frankly, I have seen many companies normalizing mediocrity and chasing away their best developers, or even blaming them for their own shortcomings, instead of fully utilizing what they could offer them, which IMO is a tragedy. So instead of just agreeing to what most replies alluded to, i.e. the Rick was a mediocre, uncommunicative and disorganized asshole with a heroic complex, I offered an alternate point of view that maybe the bigger problem was on the other side, for the sake of balanced view.
I'm not using elm but i do like slower release cycles. For example some years ago I wanted to give node.js a shot for some backend stuff for a side project. But every couple of days when I wanted to work on it I had to spent half an hour fixing the build, so I gave up.

But at least in the linked discussion, the pace of releases doesn't seem to be an issue, but the lack of communication about what is happening. No clarity whether native extensions will work, if pull requests opened years ago will be merged or at least responded to, whether there will be bug fix releases, etc.

To me it seems, that elm community uses this straw man making it about people just wanting faster release cycles in response to valid criticisms in every unpleasant reddit thread I've have ever seen. Not pointing at you here, since you are not mentioning specific cases.

My assumption would be because base64 is a very common format to create a textual representation of binary data.
The evidence is clear in the choices people make. There are very clear gender differences in what people choose to study, and the jobs they subsequently pursue. You can’t simply blame ‘systemic oppression’ or ‘hostile environments’ for this, as our universities and tech giants all embrace liberalism and feminism to an extreme degree. How can environments that implement ‘safe spaces’, that provide systemic advantages to women, and that have 0 tolerance policies for anything that could be perceived as sexism possibly be perceived as hostile? Yet those environments are the norm now, and women are still far less interested in STEM than men.

I strongly suspect all the other listed certificates are also marked as revoked but I couldn't be bothered wasting my time checking.

Google is no angel themselves. What they did to Windows Phone is no different than Amazon's behavior. I'd imagine Windows Phone might as well died even if there were Google apps on it.

It seems that almost every technological development will cause us to become "weak as a species," for the simple reason that these developments remove difficulties we have faced in the past.

Cars and bicycles damaged our endurance. Shoes softened our soles. If these technologies disappeared overnight, yes we would be worse off as a species, but that says nothing about the benefits of these technologies.

If these technologies improve our mental effectiveness, even if only within a specific type of sensory stimulation, it's likely that we would adapt our sensory perceptions to deliver these "optimized states," possibly through new technology, for an overall net gain in efficacy.
