I'm the same. I'm a leftie who enjoys guns (the machines themselves and the physical discipline to use them safely and effectively), but I despise what you might call "gun culture" especially here in the USA.

Aside from the other issues, how do you expect your average police officer to handle that thing? You know they're not exactly the brightest people, right?
What’s most striking in this article is the disconnect between the gravity of the situation and the ecological impact of “economically efficient” local solutions such as flying in workers from Thailand and lettuce from L.A.

Seriously, flying in 30000 heads of lettuce from half the world away to honor a contract with a supermarket? I can understand that it’s the “right” local solution (most likely the only way to avoid bankruptcy for the farmers), but from a global perspective this is utterly crazy.
Just so people know, Esri sells a Personal Advanced Desktop license for non-commercial use for (I think) $100/yr.

https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis/products/arcgis-for-person...

Normally an Advanced Desktop license with multiple extensions would run well north of $10,000/yr with an initial purchase price about 4x that amount.

I believe you can change to the new format (still not ed25519 though). After generating your keypair in the AWS console, do "ssh-keygen -p -o -f aws.pem" and add a strong passphrase generated from a password manager.
Funny how the freezing snap at the beginning of the year March-April was put down to “weather” and a hot spell is put down to “climate change”.

Both most plausibly have the root in the same phenomenon of oceanic cooling mucking around with the various wind systems like the gulf stream.

Time will tell if this is a blip or a trend.

Last heatwave is 1976.. 42 years. If we have a heatwave that frequently it is not really a problem is it ?

Hot June was 18th hottest of 350 records from the longest temperature record.

Lets see how hot July was against the 350 year record first. Discount more modern locations with short history or tarmacced sub standard placement ( Heathrow airport for instance )
I guess fundamentally, this is the question I have about this situation: would you ever, in real code, want dispatch to go straight back to the default implementation when you have in hand a value with a custom implementation?

I may be having a failure of imagination; but I certainly haven't ever seen a case where I'd want that.
Well, the title asked for "most unethical", so, yea. It was against the terms of service...

I think the OP’s critique of your README being vague is fair. Although judging from the downvotes, he comes across a little harsh.

Your README is needlessly abstract. It’s tantamount to saying you’ve invented a new wheel.

Well, wheels have all sorts of specifications, they're made of various materials, can have different weights, etc. They also have all sorts of use cases. From plastic wheels used in toys, rubber wheels used in cars, all the way to various wheels used for the construction of a rocket.

Although conceptually the wheel is an object that allows for easy rotation, you wouldn't use a plastic toy wheel for the construction, say of an automobile, would you? Also, not all wheels are used as rotary devices. Some can be used for just support.

Going back to your network protocol. What does this protocol allow one to do? What can it be used for? Be specific!
Highly unlikely. Ever since the US Congress passed a Taiwan Relations Act, military defense of Taiwan is a enshrined in law. Furthermore, Taiwan is a fully democratic nation with a population slightly larger than that of Australia.

The entire crux of post WWII US geopolitical strategy rests on a promise to defend Japan, Korea the Philippines, Taiwan and various other territories in exchange for those territories not pursuing nuclear weapons or aggressive military forces of their own. In the very unlikely even that the US chose not to defend Taiwan despite the TRA, Japan, Korea, Thailand and half a dozen other neighboring countries would nuclearize within weeks, days or even hours.

This would be a nightmare scenario not only from the US perspective but also from China's.

We had a 'missing indexes' consultant do a big job for us. The database quickly got really slow. Needlessly to say we do not hire them any more and do not recommend them to anyone else. The index problem I fixed in five minutes plus eight hours waiting time.
It happens all over the place. I haven't done it to QA but I've certainly done it to project managers, similar to this story: https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2013/06/05/duck/
The amount of garbage is pretty highly dependent on the board - the entire site isn't /pol/. If you're willing to be your own content filter and can handle a lower signal to noise ratio than a curated community there are a lot of good posts. It's DEFINITELY not for everyone though.

For example, 4chan has some of the most up-to-date English language discussions around for a lot of Japanese fandoms. If you want to discuss new releases of obscure japanese noise bands, you probably want to be /mu/. If you're not on /mu/ and are on some other platform, you're probably just going to get a regurgitated version of the discussion from /mu/ anyway, with an increased propogation delay and someone else doing the cherrypicking. (Note: I'm just using "Japanese noise bands" as an example, I don't know if that particular discussion on /mu/ is good, or if the relevant low-latency discussion is on Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, etc these days)
That article is completely terrifying.

* I am much too much of a control freak to ever ever try drugs; no moral issue, just not for me.

* I have a drink of something on social occasion maybe once or twice a year, maybe not. Never got behind the wheel with even a sip of alcohol that day, let alone a glass, let alone anything approaching legal limit.

But I'm a klutz and I'm an introvert and I get nervous easily and I have NO idea what kind of "signs" my body would display in stressful situation with a police officer at night (my body an my brain have an uneasy working relationship - we mostly put up with each other:).

It is very literally my nightmare scenario to be accused by a police officer of intoxication where none exists. As much as I 100% support them, I'm probably more afraid of roadside checks than an actually inebriated person.

Supply and demand

Returns from private companies go up -> more VCs enter the market with higher returns increasing competition -> valuations get higher (meaning founders/employees get to keep more stock while investors get less) -> returns deflate and we are back at a balance.

There is a reason VCs have been complaining about sky high valuations and it's because most VC's don't even beat the sp 500.

Consumers who don’t like Uber don’t tend to go around opposing their business model, those efforts come directly from people who operate or profit from traditional taxi businesses.
This is an easy mistake to make. Uber’s customers matter the least, with the citizens who live in communities where Uber operates (ie voters) coming first, and Uber’s drivers coming second.

My interpretation of what he means by 'traceable back to physics' is that in most so-called 'hard sciences' (biology, chemistry, computation etc) the phenomena of interest can be formally described in terms of math/physics.

Assuming I'm not off-base there, I think the distinction is that unlike neuroscience, psychology often seeks to explain things by correlating data/observations rather than describing the underlying physiology.

> It's at least little bit fishy that you can get a $500 million deduction for giving away stock that is never worth $500 million to anyone (since giving it away tanked the sale price, and selling it would presumably drive it down even farther).

I'm not entirely sure you can, based on my reading of 26 CFR 1.170A-1(c)(3) [1]:

> (3) If a donor makes a charitable contribution of property, such as stock in trade, at a time when he could not reasonably have been expected to realize its usual selling price, the value of the gift is not the usual selling price but is the amount for which the quantity of property contributed would have been sold by the donor at the time of the contribution.

While this is fascinating, I wonder if we could produce the scaffolding itself de novo, and if not, then why? It's not a living thing, just a porous biocompatible structure. At worst, we could grow a lot of skin and process it into scaffolding of arbitrary shape. Or is there some crucial trick, such as remaining chemical signals that guide the development of new cells?

If the US didn't honour its commitments and let Taiwan fall, Japan, Korea and all other neighbours would no longer be able to rely on US protection and seek their own weapons of mass destruction. The instability of that scenario would almost certainly lead to WW3 and be more detrimental to US interests than a skirmish over Taiwan.

> Supporting pro-China elements in Taiwan, spending a generation 'educating' (i.e. propaganda) Taiwanese that they are in fact part of 'mainland China', using coercive economic incentives ... I think that Taiwan may ultimately join China through a slightly shady but nevertheless 'legal' popular referendum.

You are ignorant. Taiwanese identification with China has been falling steadily for decades. According to current polling, somewhat less than half would support a declaration of independence and the inevitable conflict that would come with it, but a small single digit percentage are willing to join the PRC.

Anonymous account for obvious reason.

When I was in college I finished a couple of programming projects late. My professor said if we could prove that it was done on time he wouldn’t penalize us so I found a program that would let me alter windows time stamps.

I’m sure he knew and accepted it anyway because he was a great teacher that seemed to enjoy letting us creatively solve problems more than sticking to specific curriculum. Was my favorite class in school.

I still feel a little guilty about that though.
> What does "looking at how Python has progressed" even mean?

Take an existing project you wrote in python and modernize it for newer style, maybe it was in legacy 2.X for compatibility with something and needs to be updated. Maybe convert to a python framework that is popular now (there's not so much churn in python so a past framework might just be updated.)

I'm sorry that isn't as dramatic as taking some knowledge of past JavaScript, learning additions that introduce a different paradigm and then an entire new style of development complete with transpiling and maybe typescript.. and then trying to keep it running with churn in the whole bunch of libraries and tools that are in that bizarre front end process.. While not seeming to have any previous experience with compiled languages and related development processes.

Taking a past project and modernizing it allows you to mix discussion of real world experience with your understanding of new things. Where things are just updates you blur perception and significance of the age of your real world experiences.

But switching completely to patterns, code and development processes you have never used before even by analogy is taking that to the most tenuous extreme..

Who knows maybe the OP's past JS experience was in SPAs in a functional style using node tools and an IDE and react is almost reasonable.. But that seems unlikely if python and php were the first languages the OP thinks of.

It makes more sense to milk and refresh past connections to Python to find a new subfield than to try to stay in web development by switching to JS (if it was your 3rd language from 3 years ago) to move from Backend to frontend in the months right before almost every language will get an opportunity on the frontend..

In this case investors saw his donation as a sign of lack of confidence in the company

An admittedly brief review of the news articles about this event seem to contradict that. The author of this article interpreted the drop that way in order to better make their case, because...well...they have no case.

Below I have listed a few articles from the front page of Google results for this subject. Not a single article that I could find mentions investor worries that the donation was driven by the CEO's lack of confidence in the company.
Rather, investors were upset because JP Morgan allowed these shares to be released from a lockup agreement with virtually no advance notice to shareholders. They were worried that the shares could potentially be sold by the charity almost immediately, which would have flooded the market with insider shares far earlier than investors expected.

I could imagine this making sense in a dynamic language like PHP. I don't know enough JavaScript to know if it's applicable there.

But it seems one of the things that if used extensively make the test suite a major obstacle to refactoring because it tests way too many internal details.
I read something (a legit study IIRC) that breathalyzers are not that accurate and if you don't hold them right can increase the BAC.

And NO you CAN be convicted for failing the test. The evidence is just a paper reciept from the breathalyzer.

The reason you choose the blood test is so you have evidence for later.

Also you will sober up a little while you wait.
Do you think voters like the taxi cartel? Do you think they like regulatory capture?

It's the classic case of dispersed costs and concentrated benefits. The taxi companies push for legislation to increase their power because it makes them rich, to the average citizen the costs (time, effort, money) to fight taxis aren't worth it.

This is why markets are great - they allow consumers to vote with their dollars. I don't know anyone who would choses a taxi over uber/lyft.

An individual home license for Mathematica is $320.
An unrestricted license for an open-source "alternative" is $0.

To be an alternative to Mathematica, it doesn't have to be as good as Mathematica.

It just has to be useful enough that learning it is an acceptable tradeoff for "not spending $320 and becoming locked into Mathematica-specific tooling"

I’d imagine the issue lies in Swift classes utilizing only static dispatch. The protocol conformance creates a witness table populated by the methods of the class in question, but as Swift classes have no vtables except in ObjC compatability mode (right?) there’s no way to pass down the invocation from the protocol witness to a specific subclass as the method can not be resolved at runtime. This is the difference between the dynamic dispatch via witness table and the explicit static dispatch to the subclass when type information is available.

Thus it comes down to dynamic dispatch always (or at least for anything that has a protocol conformance at all) vs surprising behavior here.

I do agree with you, however.

I'm a software developer that has absolutely no association with the taxi industry. But I still oppose the way Uber operates regarding local laws and the way they've handled consumer data.

PS: Here in Austin, Texas we managed to ban Uber for a while because they didn't adhere to proper background check regulations. Then they lobbied some politicians to have the state of Texas change the laws. Needless to say I'm not a fan.
