If you want to be lame and try to invalidate an argument sure you can say there's a literal world of difference in an analogy, but thats the entire point of an analogy, to show similarity by demonstrating something relatively simple often in a wildly different context.

Theres still a middleman with plain BTC, its just that there are a ton of them, and little barrier to entry to becoming a middleman yourself. Lightning requires things which realistically only banks will be able to provide, large payment channels. The whole point is that when you can store your balance on a decentralize ledger, there's no need for a bank.
No, that's because they are racists.
My interpretation was that it can only be set either on the exact hostname that was loaded, or on the second level domain name that was loaded. To set it on 32 different SLDs you'd have to redirect through 32 different domains, which the user would notice.

Note that this is for the page that was loaded only, not for additional resources hosted on other hostnames.
Many of these bikes are actually e-bikes.

I think it would be a good improvement if taxis and ridesharing cars didn't care so much about dropping off people exactly at their destination but instead found a safe spot within half a block instead of blocking bike lanes and bus lanes.
Such a legal environment existed in the US between the Civil War and WWII.[1]

> On March 30, 1908, Green Cottenham was arrested by the sheriff of Shelby County, Alabama, and charged with "vagrancy." Cottenham had committed no true crime. Vagrancy, the offense of a person not being able to prove at a given moment that he or she is employed [...] capriciously enforced by local sheriffs and constables [...] and, most tellingly in a time of massive unemployment among all southern men, was reserved almost exclusively for black men. Cottenham's offense was blackness.

> After three days behind bars, twenty-two-year-old Cottenham was found guilty in a swift appearance before the county judge and immediately sentenced to a thirty-day term of hard labor. Unable to pay the array of fees assessed on every prisoner—fees to the sheriff, the deputy, the court clerk, the witnesses—Cottenham's sentence was extended to nearly a year of hard labor.

The description goes on to describe how his hard labor was sold to US Steel, and he was sent down into a mine. There he was subject to whipping for not delivering a required 8 tons of coal per day, and threatened with torture for disobedience. More than a thousand other black men were subjected to the same slavery at "Slope 12", 45 years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

Looks like about 1/3 of everything are the equivalent of "It works!" pages (the huge white clusters and the large cluster of "You made a site on the dark side").

Doesn't mean that there is nothing to be accessed on those servers, though.

That only works if everyone in town knows about it and you only catch tourists. If you start nailing locals for something they do all the time, they get really upset.
That's really the best way to compare the costs, bravo. The numbers are: 135 lauches, 196 billions total cost, which gives an average Shuttle launch cost of 1.452 billions.
Greater use of HSTS preloading is also a good way for legitimate sites to prevent being affected by any sort of privacy crackdowns on HSTS. Preloading at the TLD level is ideal.
I really don't doubt what you're saying, although you're probably taking a psuedo-tongue-in-cheek mode, but it would be a crying shame if we would in fact lose horribly if it came to blows with Russia. We spend positively immense sums of money on our prized military -- leaving nothing little left for extras like a single payer health system -- and have posted said forces to outstretched islands and zones all over. How sad it is that we don't have enough tanks to fight the Russians successfully in Europe, for one thing. You can be sure that China, North Korea and Russia coordinate regularly with intelligence on the status on our military, ready to take advantage once the gaps make it possible.
But race is not the primary difference between the two groups you're talking about. The biggest difference is socio-economic and that drives everything else - health, education, opportunity, world view, etc. You could, of course, make the argument that the underlying cause of the socio-economic discrepancy is rooted in racism and bigotry.
Well, getting the data out of it is just one part. I mean everything what makes Airtable better than excel, will be gone when they turn off their service.

That's a major issue if you want to use their service for anything that actually matters. You never know how fast a change is coming to such a platform and how much time you have to adapt.

For comparison: I am not a particular fan of MS Access, but I think the use-cases for Access and Airtable have much in common. With Access you have a certain vendor lock in too in terms of technology. So when Microsoft stops developing Access, you have to search for an alternative as you do not know if the runtime will be available on the next OS generation. Nevertheless, you can use the software as long as you have a machine which can run the current version (probably years).

In contrast, if Airtable gets shut down and will not be available in 3 month (e.g. if they get bought by someone who wants to integrate their tech into another product and shuts down the current service), you will have exactly 3 month to find/develop/deploy a replacement. Not cool.

I don't really want to spin here on red light cameras only; there are many more ways to enforce traffic laws than that, and if we could use people for 100% enforcement I'd be in favor of that.

I want self-driving cars and other mass transport to eliminate the need for enforcement completely.

I have to be honest though, the stuff you're throwing at me is tingling my spidey sense just a little. These quotes are stated in a way that sounds convincing and bad, but fails under math scrutiny.

The quote you picked left out the 15% improvement in angle crashes they measured (* cited in the bigthink article below).

You can have 40% of intersections with a 1% increase in crashes, and also have 60% of intersections with a 1% decrease in crashes, and you have an overall slight reduction.

“QE involves a shift in the focus of monetary policy to the quantity of money: the central bank purchases a quantity of assets, financed by the creation of broad money and a corresponding increase in the amount of central bank reserves. The sellers of the assets will be left holding the newly created deposits in place of government bonds. They will be likely to be holding more money than they would like, relative to other assets that they wish to hold. They will therefore want to rebalance their portfolios, for example by using the new deposits to buy higher-yielding assets such as bonds and shares issued by companies — leading to the ‘hot potato’ effect discussed earlier. This will raise the value of those assets and lower the cost to companies of raising funds in these markets.”

The fed is literally giving asset holders free money at the expense of people trying to save in traditional ways (savings accounts). They buys whichever bonds they decide which then enables the holders of those bonds to collect free money. All the new money slowly works it’s way into the rest of the economy, inflating away the value of our savings.

Crap like this is precisely why bitcoin will succeed. Eventually people will realize what the Central Banks are doing and will decide they’ve had enough.

What software are you using? I have found PDAL[0] to be very simple to run with docker, though building from source is a bit consuming, especially as you reach out for more plugins you didn't realize you wanted initially.

In their business-continuity backups, you'd have to assume yes.

However, I would certainly be surprised if a Github support staff member went and fished out the off-site backup and mounted it to recover one missing repo. You'd hope that would require quite a few staff members to orchestrate.

But in general, yeah. Most engineers don't think about deletion very hard when they start designing a system, and it's also convenient (although with GDPR possibly soon illegal, situation dependent) for auditing and research to merely flag things as deleted and not show them to the customer. As a result, true data deletion generally gets justified away as a bit inconvenient and not really desirable anyway, and almost no software company really deletes anything on demand. Best you can hope for is semi-annual data purges to reclaim disk space.

If this bothers you, consider joining us in the world of self-hosting your services. Gitlab is in my opinion considerably better than Github anyway. Certainly it's worth spinning up a docker container and taking a peek around.
I got Civilization really early on before it was obvious that it was going to be popular. I love reading the thick manual, strategy guide, and advances chart.

I really enjoyed starting a civil war by capturing another civilization's capital city. There was one game where I was in the Americas and the Zulus (always crazily warlike and expansionist) had conquered the rest of the world. It looked like they were going to overwhelm me.

So I parked an aircraft carrier and a bunch of transports off of southern Africa and captured their capital city with a surprise attack by overwhelming forces. The entire Zulu empire immediately started a civil war, with half of it becoming the Egyptians. I was unaware of the civil war feature when I did so (wasn't documented in the manual), and it really improved my opinion of the game. I ended up winning because the new Egyptian civilization and the Zulu civilization were too busy fighting each other to send enough against my forces.

The technology capturing feature was great too. I was playing in the Americas one time, and I was hopelessly behind the Chinese. I had musketeers and cannons, while they had tanks. I launched a surprise attack with all the forces I could muster and captured a few of their cities, getting technologies such as the automobile by doing so. I was then able to produce tanks, and ended up modernizing myself by capturing more cities and stealing technology.

I absolutely loved that game.
That's why I like Clojure's philosophy of a few data structures and many functions operating on them.

Of course Alan Perlis wrote "It is better to have 100 functions operate on one data structure than 10 functions on 10 data structures." in 1982.

But pipelining outputs into inputs (you'll see it a lot in F# too) is just a simple, flexible concept.

As Rich Hickey once said, "We're data processors".

I think we somehow took a wrong path when OO got embraced as wholly as it did back in the 90s or so.
> What you're saying sounds to me like "One of the interesting insights I got while programming my own game was that despite what every game programming book says, there are games that can be programmed without defining any functions."

Ex-game programmer and current PL programmer here. I think a better analogy is that you can make a game without having a scene graph. And, indeed, you can. And it works fine for many simple games, though as some scales it starts to be a hindrance.

I'd expect the bike lane blocking problem is not really because of people who "drive to work"; it's because of deliveries, repairs, maintenance and such. (At least where I ride, that's >95 % of bike path disturbances).
Up here in Seattle, SDOT got rid of this style of bike lane over the past few years. Outlying suburbs keep the edge of the bike lane solid at turns (not like the dashing shown). Portland has gone the same direction, separating bicyclists from drivers as much as possible.

Having spent some time in Cali, I very much appreciate our infrastructure up here. Lots of law and order type politics down there, but when it comes to actual issues like public health, its given nary a glance till upper middle class people are dying.
Thank you! That's great to hear. :)
>However, what you're pointing out is that the difference is not because the principles are different.

Yes, they are. The reason "the people who would do this don't yet have 100% coverage over society" is precisely because, at least for now, principles in the West find this sort of authoritarianism repugnant. This is exactly the kind of false equivalency the parent is talking about.

”I think the burning barge is pretty self explanatory.”

Is it? The photo doesn’t tell whether that was something that happened regularly, and stuff like that happens today, too.

https://www.fleetmon.com/maritime-news/?category=incidents taught me that the Maersk Honam (built in 2017; can hold over 15,000 TEU) caught fire on March 6 and was evacuated.

The comment you're referring to is exactly what the parent was talking about. The usual pattern is something along the lines of:

Regarding splitting lexing and parsing, I argue the opposite point here:

When Are Lexer Modes Useful? http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2017/12/17.html

I assert that scannerless parsing is a bad idea, for reasons of efficiency and code complexity. He's making some argument around generated parsers which I don't understand.

I believe he's conflating the issue of whether you generate your parser with whether you have a separate parser and lexer. (The OSH parser is hand-written, while the lexer is generated. This is actually the opposite of what you see in many languages -- e.g. in Python the parser is generated, while the lexer is hand-written.)

There's no reason that you can't produce good error messages with a separate parser and lexer. In fact I believe you'll get better error messages. I use a "lossless syntax tree" representation which allows good error messages:

From AST to Lossless Syntax Tree http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2017/02/11.html

(On the one hand, it's like a parse tree, but less verbose. On the other, it's like an AST, but it doesn't lose information.)

Regarding intermediate representations, I had a lot of success with Zephyr ASDL, which is a DSL for using algebraic data types in procedural/OOP languages:

http://www.oilshell.org/blog/tags.html?tag=ASDL#ASDL

I also don't really see the strong contrast betweeen OOP and FP he's making. Oil uses both styles -- the IR is at the center, using a functional style (data without methods), but the other components are objects/modules/interfaces/encapsulated state/data hiding.

IMO OOP and FP are the same thing when done right: they're about being principled about state. The way I see it, a pure dependency injection style is pretty much equivalent to functional programming.

Python is described with ASDL: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/master/Parser/Python....

ASDL has some relation to "Stanford University Intermediate Format", which sounds like it could have been a precursor to LLVM IR. In other words it happens to be used in interpreters right now, but it was designed for compilers.

Just like cars, bikes have a responsibility to look out for pedestrians and other vehicles and avoid hitting them. At the end of the day, you can try to blame a pedestrian for "blundering out" but you will be the one getting the fine because as the vehicle you are the one posing the biggest threat.

Also, as the op pointed out, bikers are largely ignorant or disrespectful of the law. If it's a red light and a bike blows through it, is it really the pedestrians that are the problem for not watching for illegal bikes?

Similarly, for cars turning or other traffic backups, other cars have to deal with this all the time. You stop and don't hit them and wait for the road block to clear. Sometimes traffic jams happen. If you can't stop in time you are going too fast for your vehicle and conditions. Cars accept this, but I've seen dozens and dozens of bikers both not knowing the rules of the road and/or getting irate at regular traffic thinking that somehow they are more special and deserve everyone getting out of their way in a jam.
For anything other than Excel, I actually vastly prefer Google stuff. Collaboration features and not having to worry about files outweigh the (small) downsides for me by quite a margin. Sheets is a bit of a laggard, but it’ll get there in another couple of years.
Am I the only one who felt like if you filtered out the douchiness of the question and the touchiness of the mayor's answer, it was a worthwhile exchange? Question asked, question answered, and the answer was substantive enough that one could go on and answer follow-up questions (although they'd have to be in writing since the radio format apparently does not allow for that).
Apple has never pretended you could set a default browser on iOS. Microsoft needs another 1.4 billion wake up call.
Why are you using total number of people when we're talking road users? Yeah, a lot of people walk or take the subway but they're not exactly concerned about what the edge lane is used for.

I'm not particularly biased towards cars or anything, you could remove the bike lane to make room for bigger sidewalks and have a positive effect since way more people are walking than either driving or biking in Manhattan.

People use the bike lane as a stopping lane because nobody is in it. If there was actual bike traffic this problem wouldn't exist.

As for me...
I'm not founding any more for-profit companies any time soon. Instead, I have found 'my place' at [Sudbury Model Schools](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbury_school) and plan to make my life about advancing human rights for students. Our countries need leadership, and our industrial schooling model is not capable of producing it. For our liberal democracies, this is an existential threat.

A note on Sudbury Schools: the ideas that seem so natural to them in that environment are actually radical and difficult to grasp for most people who went through traditional schooling. It is not fast or easy to understand, it takes while to 'click'. If you take the time to understand what they're doing, you'll be rewarded.

To that end, I would recommend one of the original founders' latest book, a retrospective of the decades the schools have been in operation: [A Place to Grow](http://bookstore.sudburyvalley.org/product/place-grow) (If you click to 'Sample Chapter', you'll be able to read a significant fraction of the book for free.)
