I was involved in a situation were two partners were also fighting over a domain and copyright involved with a project. It took more than a year, and lots of nasty letters back and forth, and a lot of money for a lawyer.

In the end we settled on each partner licensing their contributions to the other party, so that both could continue with the project. We didn't get the domain, which is a bit sad since the other party abandoned the project, so there's now an abandoned page on the old domain.

However, it turns out that domains don't matter as much as people think, and people quickly realised that the project is now continuing at a new domain.
True. This makes me wonder if there's an oracle relative to which BQP = PH?

Can somebody explain me why the situation described in the tweet is an example of sexism? The person wants to donate, and wants to speak with some other person about it with which he is comfortable dealing. That person happens to be male and his boss (the author of the tweet) happens to be female. Why does it make the situation sexist? Is there an obligation that if I contact somebody in the organization to make a donation, I must speak to a person of an opposite gender or I will appear sexist? Is there something else in the situation that did not fit in a tweet? How this situation is a no-win for Karen Sandler - isn't she getting the donation her organization needs, and having her employee do the work that is his job? Maybe she wanted to speak with that person instead, so maybe that is not all-win, but it doesn't seem to be no-win. What am I missing here?
Perhaps because of the Leidenfrost effect? LN would evaporate before, or very briefly during, contact with skin, creating a cushion of air under the droplet, making it just roll away and avoid freezing of the skin.

Maythe the LN would "stick" to the gloves, freeze them, and then freeze the skin?

> I'm not a US citizen, so for me the US having a strong military isn't necessarily in my best interests, depending on circumstance.

Yes, that's exactly the problem. What if in the future, my country and USA will be enemies? It is not very probable, but so wasn't a prospect of war in Ukraine, for example. You just don't know how things will develop, and if a company want's to be global, it shouldn't directly support a military of a specific country.
Well, what is the purpose of markup languages? Isn't the sole purpose of markup is to be able to process the marked-up content with a computer? Why would you add markup to your favorite verse if it wasn't to somehow feed it to machine for some purpose (analyze, typeset, etc.)?

So when we have text with markup the text part is meant to be there for humans and the markup part is solely for computers. Now let's remove all text; now there's no content for humans at all, only for computers. How is this different from general-purpose data serialization?

(Some of the samples you give, like SVG, may not have any text content at all; it's basically a drawing language.)

Given that XML ecosystem has quite a few tools (e.g. several type description languages or a declarative data transformation language just to name a few) it's a very good general-purpose data serialization format.
That’s absolutely correct.

I get it now, that you meant the “pointer to the vtable” under “vtable” in your original post.
First of all, I am an immigrant. I am not sure why you think that ICE criminalize anybody? How is this even possible? People violate the law are criminals. Trying to enter the US illegally is a crime. Pretty plain simple. I do not like the ICE but I had pleasant experience with them even when I tried to enter the US (unknowingly) illegally once. They helped me through the process, fined me (following the law) and I was pretty ok with that.

> I'm always surprised that Twitter has managed to stay in business so long

I'm not. Millions of people are visiting Twitter daily to check out if Trump has declared trade or real war against yet another country. Or whatever the Orange in Chief has brain-farted over night.

In addition Twitter is a fine tool for starting shitstorms and one of the few safe havens left for adult material creators (= freelance sex workers) to post their content (but that may also change one day). Oh, and media often turn to Twitter for soundbites/other stuff to quote, which also creates demand.
Saying "If you honestly mean that then you're an asshole" is just a round-about way of calling somebody an asshole while providing them with an out; it's a method of insulting people to get them to change their stance. Where I come from, it's considered rude.

Yeah, and when someone asks you for directions, don't tell them the truth, lead them into a trap that is profitable for you if possible, otherwise at least lead them into a wrong direction; else you might be giving them an easy win.

It's not actually a board game, and if you ever read about any totalitarian "philosophy" (especially German style), you'll come across this same reasoning. Of course it applies to every sector, because that's just how life is. When will people stop shooting the messengers, right?

> Of course it's extremely easy to say, the heck with it. I'm just going to adapt myself to the structures of power and authority and do the best I can within them. Sure, you can do that. But that's not acting like a decent person. You can walk down the street and be hungry. You see a kid eating an ice cream cone and you notice there's no cop around and you can take the ice cream cone from him because you're bigger and walk away. You can do that. Probably there are people who do. We call them "pathological". On the other hand, if they do it within existing social structures we call them "normal". But it's just as pathological. It's just the pathology of the general society.

Interesting to see Ferranti mentioned a couple of times: "the Ferranti Mark 1, the world's first commercially available general-purpose computer" and "Tim Berners-Lee was the son of an engineer who worked at Ferranti". Ferranti were a pioneer in early computing, a huge employer in the part of Scotland in which I grew up, and were very respected and successful for a long time. Unfortunately they came to a very tragic end after expanding into the US, buying a company called International Signal and Control, which turned out to be a front for the US government's illegal sales of arms to right wing dictatorships, with entirely fabricated accounts (i.e. non-existent profits), and they went bankrupt as a result[0].

I usually try to keep paragraphs small because it's more easily readable and helps me structure my thoughts without getting too longwinded. Joyce could afford multi-page sentences, but I have no hope to keep the reader engaged for so long.

But that doesn't mean it would be better split by some weird interface into separate pieces, each paragraph floating around detached from the next. When I see people trying to fit their good thoughts into that format and then resorting to all kinds of third party tools in order to reassemble the resulting mess back into coherent text - I can't help pitying them. Why would they subject themselves and their thoughts to this kind of torture?

That can be accurate, but keep in mind that the people ins Silicon Valley are there using the brain and therefore more aware of the financials of their lives. Artists and sportists on the other hand can be a bit more detached from how much they make. I am not saying that this happens in 100% of the cases but there is a correlation.
Nope, I absolutely don't feel the need to ascribe my negative habits to some fear or anxiety whatever thing. Not everything in life is a drama. I am fully aware of my strengths and weaknesses, and my personal opinion is that ascribing a negative trait (procrastination) to something that is somehow "external" is a subtle refusal to take responsibility. Often (and I am not saying this is the case for OP) the "oh, this is a fear or anxiety I have" is followed by either the direct or implied expression of "so it isn't really something I can do anything about right now".

That is the attitude I found to be holding myself back in a dark past. What turned the page for me was reading "Invictus" from Henley, who was a man that was absolutely beaten and battered by life, and still refused to give up:

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Own your shit.
>Google is at this point not just some US company, but a multi-national one. I'm not a US citizen, so for me the US having a strong military isn't necessarily in my best interests, depending on circumstance.

A multi-national company is still responsible to multiple nations in differing amounts though, no? It shouldn't mean "responsible to no one." And America quite clearly should have some significant claim on Google, even if it isn't all of it (or necessarily even a majority). Furthermore, most of the those non-American countries that Google should be accountable to (i.e. most democratic countries and most developed countries... as that is from where it draws revenue and employees) rely, in large part, on the US military for their own national security.

>There's also a real chance that I might get hit by a brick and die tomorrow, yet that doesn't stop me from going out.

This misses the point entirely--which was that whether or not the US military is good or bad for the world is a complicated and difficult question to answer. At the very least, this is clear from the large number of democratic countries who have chosen to mostly rely on the US military for their own national security. So the apparent certainty in the moral correctness of those refusing to work on technology for it is unjustified.

Again, I'm not saying that these employees are necessarily making the incorrect moral decision. I'm saying that the conversations on this topic seem to overlook a lot of the ethical difficulties associated with their choice.

> That isn't enough. Due to the frankly idiotic way corporate investors think 'any company that isn't growing must be dying'.

I despise it when I see large companies make business moves purely to "grow". The big ones are roughly the size of the first world, excuse them for not growing a full 20% like they did last year.

Investors are in a bubble of "bigger is better". Who cares if you have a monetization strategy or how good your product is, how big are you? Who cares about the quality of interaction, how much did you get?

You see the social media giants like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc, make UX moves that their dedicated userbase displakes purely because they're trying to tap into the long tail of users. Sometimes it feels like they would prefer 3x the userbase at 1/5 the average interaction quality because moar unique active accounts/month!!111

I would bet this ridiculous obsession with QonQ growth is responsible for half the irritating garbage UX we experience. It tests better for engaging the long tail so it ships. It's why your timelines/feeds refuse to sort chronologically, the casual masses only do drive-bys and need to be hooked/engaged every micro-chance that presents itself. It's why they want to curate your feeds, because most people are turned off by a raw firehose and the best content needs to be front and center when they do glance past it.

It's why Twitter literally runs ads literally telling people how to choose a username[0], because if you have a phone then please create an account, like seriously omgplzcreateanaccountwehavetogrowlikethisquarter!!!

> 2 and 20 is what premier hedge funds make (many charge less nowadays). 1% is a standard financial advisor fee.

Hedge fund managers and financial advisors meet with their LPs/clients from time to time. They don’t “get all of [their] clients’ mail — bills, fan mail, business-related mail, everything” nor “oversee payments for their mortgages, phone, rent, utilities, and all the little things that keep their lives going and the lights on.”
I've had to do the same with suppliers and software vendors.
A quick one-on-one with the "tech person" has often been far more informative & accurate than anything I've heard from the execs or senior managers.
Contravariance, as shown here, is extremely helpful for a working programmer and (like much of strongly typed functional programming) becomes more so as you begin to let go of that type of concern and just learn the stuff.

Say you have a JSON encoder that knows how to turn Strings into JSON. You can make an encoder for UUIDs with that encoder and a simple contramap operation.

In Scala:

// First, summon a String encoder

val stringEncoder: Encoder[String] = Encoder[String]

// Now contramap

val uuidEncoder: Encoder[UUID] =
stringEncoder.contramap[UUID](_.toString)

Of course, you're free to do this inline so there's not usually so much val-binding involved.
I respect every part of your approach, except the GitHub bit. Not all devs code on the side.
