yeah, pretty much this. The problem with people willing to share everything is that they don't realize they're also sharing data about other people. Classic example would be address books that many apps are allowed to read.This can be dangerous for journalists or whistle blower as it becomes easier to infer their whereabouts.

The more general problem is that social media gives away a high resolution model of how a certain society is functioning. The danger here is that someone else knows more about a group of people than the members themselves. Anyone who gets hold of the data can use it as a great foundation for social engineering. Be it rulers of countries that slipped into dictatorship, black hat hackers or terrorists.

Yup and the interpretation of law doesn't need to be ethical. Law and justice are quite different things.
>No, just hire a "programmer". It really doesn't take long to get up to speed in a new language and can make it more fun, adding to motivation.

It doesn't take long to learn the absolute minimum of many languages, but that might just give someone just enough knowledge to be dangerous, not useful. I would not, for instance, assume that my knowledge of javascript more or less prepares me to write banking software in COBOL or drivers in C, even if javascript and C share a lot of common syntax.

> In any other profession job adverts don't specify the exact make and model of tools being used so why is it always required with programming?

Because "programming" is not the profession. Programming specific applications in specific languages that meet specific business needs is the profession - and the necessity for domain knowledge beyond the bare minimum required to produce correct syntax is always more important than the language itself.

It's seems like a permanent feature of any socialism-building effort: first, it "gives hope", then breaks economy, and inevitable proclamation "not real socialism" ends the cycle.
I find the random sample snippet of code at the top of the page quite confusing. The first time it loaded it was about threading macros and the second time was reagent, both of which are things I wouldn’t expect a beginner to be familiar with. Perhaps some context would be nice. Even better, how about a snippet of code in cljs showing how people can do something they’re familiar with in JS?
Yup, that’s how it is. CGP Grey has a good video on that, “The Rules For Rulers”: https://youtu.be/rStL7niR7gs

> Would you be OK with the police installing a camera in your house? Don't worry, they'll only look at it if they think you've done something wrong, you can trust them on that. Totally. You've got nothing to hide, right?

I think non-tech people don't quite realise what sort of footprint they leave online, whereas the idea of a camera being in your home where someone may or may not be watching makes people feel quite uncomfortable. This is an opportunity to draw a parallel between the two.

I have found this argument to be effective in changing people's views on this topic.

Cloudflare is interesting because they do it even if you don't and have never used their proxy service, just their DNS hosting.

I was surprised when they issued certificates for my domains (as well as injecting a tonne of broad CAA records into my zone). You have to disable Universal SSL from the bottom of the Crypto tab. So, on second thought, I sympathize with you.

It's a pretty holistic approach to closing feedback loops at scale and use that to retain, win back and upsell customers.

I'm talking about 2560x1440 on 27", as is GP, and comparing that resolution at 27" to the pixel doubled resolution at 27"?

108 PPI for the former is not HiDPI, which is my point.

I'm quite aware of pixel density, but thanks for the Wikipedia definition.
If you don't want this, you can prevent this by setting CAA DNS records on your own domain. How this works is described here: https://ma.ttias.be/caa-checking-becomes-mandatory-ssltls-ce...

You can validate if they've been configured correctly here: https://dnsspy.io/labs/caa-validator

The article is pretty strongly worded for something that isn't all that bad. Yes, they issued a certificate, but you've sort-of given them permission to do so by hosting your content with them. If they own/control the server, they can get their certs validated.

It's a pretty good example of why you'd want something as Certificate Transparency even on HTTP-only domains, to know _when_ someone issues a certificate without you knowing about it. I use Oh Dear! app for that feature: https://ohdearapp.com/
> the Viet Cong were crushed even with substantial outside support

I'm as pro-US as they come, but The Tet Offensive, of which the Viet Cong played a crucial role, was crucial in breaking the will of the American populace to support the war leading to its end. I'd call that a pretty successful insurgent group.

Would they have won as quickly, or as soon as they did without the NVA? Who knows, maybe they would have broken the will or maybe it would have been the United States' Afghanistan.

In practice that only seems to be true for rapidly growing companies.

Wealth is not as great a motivator as people think and motivation and ambition exist in a broad spectrum. Most people want more money, yes, and will work harder to get it. But in order to "excel" (like Gates did) requires a different kind of ambition. It's a very complex issue, especially because we tend to mix professional success with wealth and because growing in a wealthy family grant you certain expectations, education and networks of friends that steer you toward certain goals.
Whoever owns the most Venezuelan debt:

Q. Who are the major holders of Venezuela and PDVSA bonds?

A. These securities are popular among funds that invest in emerging market bonds. Their high yields - which are close to 10 times higher than those of neighboring Colombia - help increase the overall profitability of the portfolios.

Institutional investors with big holdings include T Rowe Price Associates Inc (TROW.O), Ashmore Investment Management Ltd (AGOL.L), and BlackRock Investment Management Ltd (BLK.N).

Q. What would be the consequences for Venezuela of default?

A. Creditors could seek to seize assets Venezuela owns in other countries, including refineries such as those operated by PDVSA’s U.S. refining and marketing subsidiary Citgo.

I, for one, find the TIOBE index absolutely incredible - ie, I don't believe it at all. As it says:

"The index can be used to check whether your programming skills are still up to date"

C is #2. Javascript, for better or worse the most important language for web dev, is #8. So what is this list implying - that JS developers should get with the times and learn C?

Without details on how this list is compiled, I think it's pretty useless. Even the most cursory search of any job site will show orders of magnitudes more jobs for "unpopular" languages like JS, ruby and golang than for C. I'm not even sure what C is used for these days beyond kernel/driver development or embedded systems. I think I've met precisely one C developer in the last 10 years.

Maybe I live in a bubble but this list just seems divorced from (my) reality.

The fact that it's only 1.2GHz is irrelevant. The important aspect is that it's an A53 core. These cores are incredibly slow. Each A53 core has geekbench score of roughly 300. Compare this to an A72 core which has a score of roughly 1500. Intel gets anywhere from 2000 to 6000 per core.

A72 cores are moderately slower than intel. A53 cores are excessively slower than either A72 and intel.

Unless I'm misunderstanding the physics, it would be quite literally impossible, not a matter of learning - any attemp to steer results in the angle of the bike moving in the opposite direction an amount directly proportional to the change in direction, and with gravity being cancelled out by the spring (or in 0G), there is no way to rectify the tilt except by steering back to the original course.

Technically, you can steer temporarily - if steering right by 20° tilts you to 45°, you can ride at 45° (actually, it's possible that a 45° turn would always relate to a 45° tilt - I'd need to think on it), however your allowed directions are determined entirely by your starting direction; if you started pointing South, there would be no possible way to move North, and would likely only be able to operate the bike in the 160° - 200° range, looking at the video.
This looks really interesting.

Can anyone comment on how mature the R and python support is? I'm coming at this from an ML/data science background, so anything that speeds up the above while maintaining broad library support would be a great help.

I'd start with "it's not always about you" because it's likely to stop them in their tracks long enough to get a real explanation in. Stalkers, harassers, identity thieves, and other criminals routinely use perfectly innocent information about people to harm them. So do some parts of the government, unfortunately. Even if you are not a target (which is less likely than you think), others certainly are. Children have nothing to hide either, but we still take extra privacy measures to protect them.

This is a very good point, and I agree.

No matter how you do it[0], alignment is bad for maintainability. It happens that someType or someFunctionName changes, and if you use alignment, you'll have to re-align all those parameters. This is annoying to do even with editor help, and it generates noisy diffs which make patch review needlessly more difficult. Aligning the names of member variables is even worse.

Just Say No to alignment, perhaps? ;)

[0] Well, except if you use "elastic tabs", which don't have widespread support in the first place.
I wouldn't say Bill was old money. Old money is where neither you nor your parents need to work for a living due to the success of some ancestor. Bill Gates was upper middle class, not old money, and even so is that really necessary and sufficient cause for his success? Like other posters here, I know many people more privileged than Bill Gates was and have done little to nothing with their lives, therefore coming from his parent's level of wealth is not even close to sufficient for success. There are also certain people who have made it to his level of wealth from more humble origins, notably John Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie but more recently Jeff Bezos, who was middle class, therefore it is not necessary to come from Gate's parents level of wealth either.

If something is neither necessary nor even close to sufficient for success, how can you dismiss someone's success as due to it?

Dunno, people probably do actual gymnastics in that gym with no safety equipment at all.

I suspect that there is some sort of cultural thing here where it feels more dangerous because someone is touching a bicycle. In particular it is probably some sort of car culture thing. In such a culture there is a tendency to aggressively ignore the danger of cars. That seems to cause a tendency to overestimate the danger of other transportation modes.

I used to do that as a kid (stopped before I could do all the tricks in the video). You want to have a suitable underground(1) and a friend to catch you the first few tries until you know where the bike goes when you fall. The main path to injury is falling onto the bike. If you avoid that it's way safer than football/soccer. Note that the bikes in the video have a different center of mass from normal bikes so it's easier to get the front up. Have fun!

(1) In Germany we do this in clubs and proper sports halls as seen in the video with elastic flooring. Don't attempt tarmac until you definitely know what you're doing.

This sort of thing is becoming a total pain; it seems that there's almost no gadget I might use that's not reporting my habits to someone.
This is maybe a controversial approach, but it works really well.

Agree with them and say it is fine you have nothing to hide at this moment, but you are not important now. There are politicians, high ranked officials and a lot of other people that impact your life without you knowing that they can be influenced/blackmailed because of the lack of privacy. Maybe your future self really dislikes your lack of hiding right now or some family member is becoming a public figure and you are a weak link because you can be blackmailed. You don't control the future, so you don't know what to hide.

This argument always worked/works for me :)

>>In practice, starting with the use of the US financial system provides much more reach than Bitcoin, which has a much smaller user-base, something more like Bolivia or Switzerland, and whose "residents" do much less of their economic activity through that financial system than those in developed nations do.

Of course but that's pretty disingenuous, because it ignores the obvious: that those pushing this track see cryptocurrency becoming mass adopted over the coming years.

Their point is that cryptocurrency's potential reach is far greater than any centralized legacy financial system's.

Their other point is that it's more consistent with the open and decentralized nature of the internet.
