There are plenty, that's why there exists an expert in almost every European country who decides on such aesthetic and preservational issues. Either in bigger cities or by country.

Even in the US with its very short history there would be architectonical landmarks worth preserving. But that's a cultural issue over there, in Europe people love their history, and in many cases this expert has to demand improvements on the plan (which makes it more expensive), denies it at all, or accepts a new better architecture than the old one.

Facadism would never pass such experts, that's why its so ridiculous. In these cases it's only the mayor vs some citizens or newspapers.

Good point, haha, I did see the irony while writing that. I’ve moved that paragraph up toward the top in the hope it helps somewhat. :P

The thing about a lot of these big scary concepts in Haskell is that they’re really simple, the kind of thing where, once it clicks, you go “Oh! That’s all?”, but that doesn’t mean they’re easy—you’ve got to get familiar with the notation and jargon, and spend time building intuition from examples and just trying things out.

Nowadays I think of my process of learning new things as “try to realise how simple it is”, i.e. “what do experts understand (or just have memorised) that makes this easy for them?” It’s been a lot more motivating and pleasant than my old tactic of “try to cram this into my head without ‘chewing’ and hope my brain can digest it”.
Yup, that's what I've seen too. There are a few people who seem to gift hundreds of people $5 one-month subscriptions every month.
Police != military

The US is (or was) often referred to as the world’s policeman. I think it’s a fairly useful analogy.

Police certainly can (and often do) control the populace through violence and intimidation. It’s also possible to reduce crime via cooperation and consent.

On the world stage, you can regard nations as individual actors and think about what those actors can do to coexist peacefully. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a brutal “survival of the fittest” struggle. The same strategies used by individuals could work at the nation state level too. And they do! Look at the role of treaties, trade deals, mutual migration, art and literature, economic interdependence, etc in maintaining the peace.

I am definitely not saying we don’t need a military. We sometimes need armed police too. But not every police officer needs to carry a gun around.

If Google wants to force monetization onto Blender then the response from a good support would be "we gonna force monetization onto Blender".

That's not what the comment I replied to said, though. It just said it's 'silly'. If they had said something specific about, let's say, npm and made some reasonable and knowledgable comment or even speculation about how in this particular case they'd mis-assessed risk, that would be a pretty interesting comment. As it is, it's just a clone of the same tedious comment we get in droves in every thread about some multi-party outage. They're generic and free of insight.

The might of the US military is still beyond any other nation, even though that advantage is being threatened recently.

ISIS was very much defeated, and it was actually the lack of military followthrough that let it grow back, although it is still severely diminished. The citizens of those countries that were ravaged are incredibly thankful for US military assistance, and I advise you actually talk to some of them if you haven't before you pass judgement on what war you think was lost.
That's not how things are done today. Military technology is shared widely among allies. If we cannot trust our friends, we are doomed.

There might be national secret-sauce here or there, but the major military contractors are all international. Lots of projects involve R&D spread across multiple nations. Things mostly get dicey when looking at nations that are too unstable to trust (Egypt, Pakistan, etc.), or those that are current rivals (Russia, China).

Two things:

* If the assets were bought, they'd be the property of the original company, and the money would go to the company, which would therefore have money to be sued for.

* If the directors took that money out of the company, full in the knowledge that they had legal liabilities as the result of terminating service, at least in the case the UK (and I can't speak for US law), they'd be guilty of a number of crimes, as they are responsible for acting in the best interests of the business.

Would love to work on actually protecting American lives but at this point Pentagon in an unaccountable monster that has actually funded terrorist organisations and has made America (and rest of the world) unsafe. Not to mention I find it morally reprehensible that our young kids are dying in distant third world countries like Iraq, Afganistan and Syria and involved in killing thousands little kids and innocent civilians in the name of "protecting American lives".

All these anti-Patreon comments in a row and nobody's given any sort of non-weasel wordy statement.

The only thing I can find is that they removed adult content. Presumably because they use Stripe and Paypal to process payments and both of those are very hair-trigger when it comes to payments for adult content, which are deemed "High Risk" by the underlying payment processors.

So essentially Patreon's bannings (unless anyone has any further information) are a technical and customer service issue. They could probably process adult content through a high risk processor but that would mean adult content creators get less money per pledged dollar due to the higher transaction fees
No Israel hasn't been at war with its neighbouring Arab countries for a long time. They periodically attack Hezbollah, there is tension with Syria at the moment and obviously they are still occupying Palestine. However Egypt for example helps Israel with the Gaza blockade by not opening the Palestine-Egypt border.
I don't doubt that you are right. But that whole description could, to my inexperienced ears, just as well be an argument as to why you really really should be wearing gloves at all times.

If the gloves slow down the process enough so that when you feel cold you have time to put down the container and remove the gloves (less than five seconds?). I mean, to me I'd imagine that is the sole purpose to wear them in the first place?

It would, I imagine, also help from panic. If you notice that you got LN on your gloves there is less panic than getting it on your skin - less chance of a reflex reaction that just makes things worse.

Evidence of what? The American people are safe and sound and the interests of America are still protected, and very few countries even think about threatening us here, thanks to a strong military force.

Consider the case of herd immunity. Most people do the right thing and get themselves and their children vaccinated. This keeps us all safe. Others go their own way and refuse vaccination. They are mostly safe because of the actions of others. They're freeloaders, and if you get enough of them, they make us all less safe.

If you want to be a freeloader, then go ahead. Just know that the rest of us are pretty disgusted by your ignorance and refusal to educate yourself.
I think the idea of "asymmetric warfare" is well established and it fits totally your description.

I wouldn't say it's preferable for the customer. It's just one of many options.

Yes, SaaS obviously has benefits for vendors too but what's most preferable to them is making money. If every customer refused to do business with SaaS then vendors wouldn't prefer providing SaaS solutions (yes, I know I said "solutions solutions" :P). The reason SaaS is so prolific is because it offers advantages to customers as well.

> US legal system seems to disagree with you.

You're wrong. The use of the term "criminalization" here is correct. The Supreme Court has stated multiple times that being on US soil without proper documentation is not a crime [1].

You then deliberately try to conflate this with border crossing but note that irregular border crossing is also not a crime when individuals are seeking asylum. The US law here is actually quite muddy here (several lawsuits are in the air [2]) but international treaties (to which the US is party) make it quite clear that criminal prosecution of asylum seekers and refugees is both illegal and inhumane [3].

The criminalization effort (especially part where ICE agents get decked out with body armor and assault weapons to detain restaurant cooks) is precisely a propaganda effort to make it look like these people are all criminals when they're mostly just poor desperate people refuge from failed countries. (Of particular irony: many of these failed countries are so mostly because of US policy. In the case of Honduras the US decision to back the right-wing coup in 2009 led directly to the total collapse of law and order in that country. [4])

> In any case, ICE has no power to decide any of these matters

Not sure if this is deliberate or you're just very naieve but ICE has a lot of leeway in how it carries out its mostly administrative duties. (Contrary to popular belief ICE are not police though they love to dress up in the "POLICE ICE" jackets while terrorizing people.) There's a big difference, for example, whether ICE chooses to pre-emptively detain individuals awaiting processing in Immigration Court or it lets people show up on their own.

An act of war by whom? Which nation? Osama Bin Laden was trained in the United States by Reagan's authority when he funded/supported the Mujahadeen in a proxy war against Russia.

Fast-forward 20 years to 9/11. Osama Bin Laden is funded by his family, and by other rich Saudis, which means the government of Saudi Arabia because all Saudi wealth is owned by the House of Saud.

But they're our allies, so instead, we attacked Iraq and Afghanistan, even though none of the 9/11 attackers were from either country. To get approval, we lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction, which we never found, because they didn't exist.

I'm not really following your war narrative, but I am finding a lot of cronyism and false flags.
A few considerations I do not agree with:

> YAML is insecure by default. Loading a user-provided (untrusted) YAML string needs careful consideration.

That is trivial. Everything you execute that come from outside is potentially dangerous.

> It’s pretty complex

I would say, that YAML is more expressive and has more features. On the other hand is true that TOML is a valid alternative in many use cases.

> 3.5.3 gets recognized as as string, but 9.3 gets recognized as a number instead of a string

That is correct, in my opinion, 9.3 is a float while 3.5.3 is a version. If you want both to be strings, use quotes.

Non-tech Founders: How to assess tech candidates during the interview process
This is not an appropriate place for your Mastodon spam.
The primary reason seemed to be misunderstanding, misinterpretation, and the long delay between Youtube's eventual resolution.
A lot depends on what the founders are looking to achieve. If they are still trying to grow the business then this creates some opportunities for you to make technical decisions and push for some equity.

On the other hand if they are just looking to milk whatever profits are available and you are running round maintaining a lot of legacy code it could be career death.

In either case the standard advice applies, keep some savings, stay in contact with your former colleagues and keep your technical skills up to date.
It's missing the component that the employer is paying. I doubt doctors, hospitals, and drug manufacturers are selling to SAG-AFTRA for less than to other similar size organizations. But SAG-AFTRA was able to negotiate better contributions from employers.

As someone linked below, you can actually see here that employer is kicking in another 15%+ for premiums, which at $50k per year is $625 per month and at $100k per year is $1250 per month:

http://www.sagaftraplans.org/employers/agreements

Employer portion plus at least $133 from the employee = at least $500-$600 per month, if not $1,200+ for the higher earners which seems about what you get on healthcare.gov. I didn't look into what deductibles and copays were, but I'd be surprised if it was much lower than what most employer based health insurance plans offer.
On the other hand if they play catch-up too much then why not just switch to the platform(s) they're catching-up to. This move makes them look weak
Typical health care costs in developed countries is on the $3k-$5k per person per year range [0]

(The U.S. is nearly $10k a year)

However, on average the U.S. government (thus taxpayer) funds half of the health care costs, meaning that the private sector has to fund about $5k per person per year. That would suggest the SAG employer is paying $3500 a year and the SAG employee $1500 a year.

> there's a lot of heartbreaking instances where people did the right thing and still ended up bankrupt.

What exactly do you mean by "doing the right thing" here?
Counterpoint - the channels I support on Patreon release videos only when they're good and ready. Completely fine with me, and I prefer a creator earn twice as much when they produce twice as many good videos. Also, creators deserve time off. Say a channel like Every Frame A Painting, that released 2 videos in its last 2 years of existence. Supporters had pledged $7k per video whenever they released it, but if it had been $7k per month, I can imagine some supporters feeling miffed two years later that they had paid for 'nothing'.

Right now, the barrier to pledging on Patreon is low. You don't need to worry about how many videos they're likely to make in the future or how often they'll release it. You don't need to audit your pledges to check if there are any channels that are simply collecting passive revenue. Pay per video and you'll get exactly what you pay for.
Right, what about Microsoft Office? I'm sure that's used by some military. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it makes up a vital part in planning real military operations, where people die.
