> traditionally have frowned upon receiving welfare

You weaken your (otherwise solid) argument when you do that. Tariffs and welfare are two different things, and you know that, and everybody reading this knows that, but you try to sneak in a conflation anyway. They're both bad, but they're bad for different reasons: accepting that taxation is a necessary evil (I'm not sure I do, but set that aside), welfare involves paying out of tax revenues into individuals pockets. Tariffs are exactly the opposite - tariffs involve increasing tax revenue by collecting taxes on imports, and then using that tax revenue for whatever you use all the other tax revenue for. Trying to imply that they're the same just looks like you're trying to score cheap points with people who have poor critical thinking skills.
Unboxing a Prehistoric Fish
For the past 10 months I have been drinking beer on Friday nights and making a `lab` section of the portfolio I have wanted to make for more than 15 years. A lot of old Flash experiments which looked cool and were interactive (but pointless really).

I didn't want to use P5 though. Not sure why, I wasn't a big fan of Processing for some lost reason. Also I didn't really need a big canvas library such as Pixi.

When I took a look at this project, half the methods were familiar to me as I have searched for these and cobbled together some lame collection of random functions into a weak "library". In a few weeks, when I am finished and need to review all this, I will definitely be trying to integrate this.

If you are the Author, thanks very much for your time and for sharing.
China's economy needs Western imports far, far more than the West needs Chinese imports, they're likely to break first.

I don't think so. China has a huge amount of power over the US economy[1].

What Happens If China Called in Its Debt Holdings

China would not call in its debt all at once. If it did, the demand for the dollar would plummet. This dollar collapse would disrupt international markets even more than the 2008 financial crisis. China's economy would suffer along with everyone else's.

China could crash the American economy any time they want. It'd hurt them, but it'd hurt America a lot more. Especially because oil exporters would immediately switch to doing oil trade in Euros, which would make it exceptionally hard for the dollar to recover.

While I cannot see myself needing this sort of animation in my day to day work, I was super impressed by the documentation and thought the demos were fun.
But without the US trade, it'd be much worse because much more people would've starved to death. Don't forget that behind a government, there still are people.
What is the net outcome of a trade war? Is it just money shifting around?

I'm not squeamish about putting some pain on China, but who's to say they won't resume the same tactics later on?
Funny how the Vox article spent little time defending their ex-employee and more time on other people.
The spec sheet at [0] claims:

Hydrogen storage is "Approx. 5.0 kg"

122.4L of volume (60L front, 62.4L rear)

pressure is between 70 MPa and 87.5MPa

Doing the math shows:

density of hydrogen at 70MPa equals 36.69 g/L [1]

122.4L at 36.69 g/L equals 4.49kg [2]

density of hydrogen at 87.5MPa equals 45.96 g/L [3]

122.4L at 45.96 g/L equals equals 5.63kg [4]

So the amount is somewhere between 4.5kg and 5.63kg, depending upon the final pressure after filling. Which seems to line up squarely with "Approx. 5.0kg".

When I started reading the article I thought this was an enhancement to Pocket and that somehow, external data (context from other sites) downloaded periodically combined with local browser history, would help the extension to provide options on where to go next.

But later I understood that the browser history is sent to a machine learning startup called Laserlike:

“At Mozilla, we believe browser history is sensitive information and we want people to clearly understand that Laserlike will receive their web browsing history before installing the experiment. We have also included controls so that participants can pause the experiment, see what browser history Laserlike has about them, or request deletion of that information.”

I certainly wouldn’t try this experiment out. Not because my browsing history is scandalous in any way, but because it’s nobody else’s business to see what I’m doing with my browser, when and where.

I do commend Mozilla for being transparent and also for doing such experiments, even though as a privacy nut, I don’t see myself using this ever.
Very good answer. By these time of GDPR and privacy protection, it's super important that open source/free software project be absolute models in those areas. Indeed, when I recommend using free software like LibreOffice, its in great part because of the trust I have in your code (trust that I won't be fd now or in the future). Uncompromizing handling of cookies is part of that trust. Thanks for your wonderful job !

edit: in case it's not clear : i'm all for appropriate tracking (in your context, improving the website), provided that 1/ I know about it 2/ I have a choice (in your case, I'll opt in* if I can)

Depends on who gets the money.

Ticket revenue is split between fine and surcharge. 100% of the surcharge goes to the state. In NYC, the DMV (State) adjudicates traffic matters and presumably shares the revenue. Counties/boroughs probably get a piece of the action too.

Meanwhile, NYC via NYPD gets the rage and vitriol from all of the traffic jams and general griping from the tickets. They also need to pay for overtime for testimony -- which NYPD prefers to use to flood public events with cops, etc.

> Every month, I drop all of my Google files into my OneDrive using "Google takeout". I don't have to use my own bandwidth, just select all of the data I want (everything), choose to have it sent into my OneDrive, then once it's done (takes a few hours) I delete older backups if I need space (with 1TB of OneDrive space, I can hold about 20 of these Google data backups).

Before you mentioned it, I didn't realise that Google Takeout supported Dropbox, OneDrive and Box. Thanks!

Twitch also features people competing in games.

And people have been watching people do banal things forever as well. Plays, soap operas. Wasn't Seinfeld famously referred to as the show about nothing? What about community busy-bodies? What about birdwatchers?

I do agree that there are negatives here, but you're bringing up the worst of Twitch. Of course I don't want my kid obsessions over someone who happens to have a smart phone, a twitch account, and a +2 CHA modifier. But you can't bring up the Olympics as one counterexample, and some idiot eating a burger as another.

It's not the reason the author gives, but one advantage is that you don't need LTO for some optimisations. Sqlite has a single-file distribution for that reason. On the downside, it is quite slow to compile and not readily parallelisable - but that probably is less of a concern here.

They were NOT just implemented after the fascist regime. They were already in place. Ironically these laws were used against Hitler to prevent him from speaking publicly and he was very proficient to use the fact he was barred to speak freely.

Charity is saying to structure your logs, add useful information to them from all portions of the transaction, and save the logs somewhere to query them across all fields in any combination.

That's what her product does.

This is in opposition to poor quality text logs, which typically contain almost no useful information, and time series aggregates, which either throw away all the context, or explode traditional time series databases when you try to add high cardinality fields to them.

Edit: I should add that "dashboards" in this context means the typical wall of time series charts you can buy from a bunch of different vendors.
How Musicians Make Money, Or Don’t, In 2018
I don't see why any individual is expected to pay for this. Locking someone up has a cost, and it's done in the interest of the public, so I would think it is obvious the public should have to pay for it if they are innocent.

If we want to build a town hall, we don't just take the next person that comes along and force them to build the thing that everyone then gets to benefit from--that's what taxes are for.

Well of course they don't, they still enjoy the benefits of developing nation status in the WTO despite moving from a poverty stricken 3rd world country 20 odd years ago to the 2nd largest economy in the world, as well as a leader in some hi-tech fields and ready to challenge in many more.

In my estimation they seem a hell of a lot smarter than most other countries as well, I don't think they need or deserve help from third parties any longer.
I think under the contraints of the reddit system, you're absolutely right. Moderation is required to maintain quality and prevent dilution from spamming, trolls, etc.

But I'd suggest that's again because of reddit's dynamics.

Consider a different social network that is instead focused on enabling users to group with other users they deem productive (automatically, simply through interactions, or manually they can give a score from 0-100 for each person [otherwise this score is auto-generated based on signs that indicate a productive relationship). So in this social network, each person's content is effectively cooperatively curated by people they deem productive members of the network.

I believe under a social network system like this, that moderators would not be necessary. Yes the social network, as a whole, will get spammed, trolled and diluted with many many posts. But there's other systems for helping navigate this. Ultimately though, I believe the concept of productive networks supersedes the need for most moderating functions. Will there still be a need to prevent stuff like death threats or etc. etc.? Yes absolutely, but I believe that decision is ultimately an admin-level decision, not a moderator-level decision.
Parent comment is talking about hard limits--those which they will not raise. The soft limits aren't architectural--they're arbitrary to help prevent newbies racking up huge bills by mistake. And (as you noted) they do raise them.

Have you researched the history of section 130 and 131? It doesn't appear you have any awareness as to the history of the laws, nor what constitutes a "hate" law. Basis for 130 131 laid in 1946.

> On May 23, 1949, the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany was promulgated to serve as the cornerstone of a democratic state designed to protect individual liberty. Accordingly, the Grundgesetz, or Basic Law, is patterned upon the tradition of Western constitutionalism and is a direct historical reaction to the disastrous Weimar Republic and Third Reich." The Basic Law regulates two types of rights and relations. The first type, the Basic Laws, pertain to the rights of individuals and the state. The Basic Laws are characterized by many of the classic human rights found in the U.S. Bill of Rights. The second type, the Rights to a Free Democratic Order, concern the rights of governmental organs, the organization of the state, and the relationships between the various state organs.

My advice isn't targeted at photographers who know how to develop raws. I would expect they already know what exposure is, and if they don't, well, my advice applies equally well to development as shooting.

Someone just getting started in the hobby is much better served by learning to turn a dial on their point-and-shoot than messing around with developing raws. Minimizing the turnaround time between shooting and results is crucial to promote development of aesthetic sense and appreciation for the hobby that is necessary to justify the investment in learning the development process.
Erm, that's what I said? We're arguing definitions, not facts. You are defining neutrality as a political position. I am defining it as non-political.

My point is that your definition is bad, because it is a non-definition. If neutrality is political, then 'political' is a word without a meaning, because it applies to any and all possible things.
That's clearly not true; China engages in a number of unfair trade practices, including requiring foreign companies to surrender their technology to Chinese ones.

Pretending you're related to a school you're not affiliated with isn't neuromarketing, it's just lying to kids. Using big words for that doesn't make it bigger, and that it's not "unique" from the perspective of people who pull this kind of stuff is also not surprising.

When you find a bug, do you fix the bug, or do you go "ohh, but this isn't the first time anything ever had a bug"? When someone flashes you in the park, do you call the cops or do you say "it's hardly unique for this person to be doing this"?

The article is kinda meh, there really isn't anything to discuss, but that doesn't make lying to kids to push another product noble or interesting. I'd sooner interested in the upbringing of the people who enter that "field" than their own rationalizations. I've seen enough to know there's a problem behind the chaff.
That doesn't necessarily mean more debt. It normally means they aren't taking a full load. Most schools charge by credit hour now until you go above 15, so the extra debt is mostly just 2 years extra interest.
One of the reasons they put that value on the discs is because Lundgren was trying to sell the discs for that much.

He spent $80,000 creating 16,000 discs. That's not "no value".

---begin---

COURT: What is your view why somebody is going to China to have 16,000 counterfeit discs produced? What do you think they are doing? Is this a charitable thing? I don’t mean to be—what is your take
on this? You say it has no value, it might be convenient for the customer. What do you think is going on? They spent $80,000, if I understand one of the exhibits, to produce this. What do you think was happening?

WEADOCK: I can’t speak for the Defendant, Your Honor.

COURT: But you need to speak. You came in and told me, in your expert opinion, these have no value at all, which I understand that.

WEADOCK: Right.

COURT: Here is clearly a criminal enterprise, these gentlemen have pled guilty to crimes, and we know from the exhibits—again, I don’t have it right in front of me, but looking at the monies from Chase and so on, it is about $80,000. What is your sense as to what was being done?

WEADOCK: My sense is that the discs have value as a convenience to the end user who will be able to install Windows on those computers.

---end

Note that the customers didn't need these discs. They could have ordered replacements from the OEM.

There's always going to be nonsense like this but —so far— there has been very little in Vulkan. Everybody is working towards a shared good, pushing the idea that a common framework that works the same is just less work for everyone.

It's kind of like saying, "a virtuoso can make beautiful music with an out-of-tune guitar". That's very true, but beginners should still tune their guitars.

I honestly haven’t had a good meal at a bistro while I’ve been here...they all are basically indistinguishable and the menus basically the same. Extremely mediocre for the price (at least 25-30 euros for one entree and one glass of bad house wine). At that price I could have a much much better meal in SF or NYC!
The "sex sells so this isn't sexism" argument would feel more plausible if there were lots of women who weren't seen as "sexy" making money on Twitch, or if the men who are making lots of money were doing so because of perceived "hotness."
Like most of the animal kingdom, we also live in a world where men must approach the women, and women are the "sexual selectors".

I think that asymmetry of the social economy explains a lot more than we think. But we frequently ignore it.

For example, why are incels only men? Why is it so hard for a woman to bother a man with sexual harassment?

I think there are deeper issues and underlying realities to explore than just "ugh, men!"

Every morning I watch my tiny rooster chase the hens around until one gives in and lets him mount her. That is closer to the reality of humans than we like to admit, we just have more ritual in our sexual script.
