It’s also probably the kind of thing you need to know a lot about before you start accusing a religion which represents a sizable fraction of the world, and which has many existing sects and interpretations, of being a causative agent in so many ills. An open and honest discussion is fine, but when one person has a strong position staked out without having done the requisite “homework” it’s not unrealistic that people will draw conclusions about their motives. Someone who has wondered about the relationship between Islam and women’s rights, modesty and so forth, and then taken the time to learn about where Islam vs. local pre-Islamic traditions stand on the issue might draw conclusions as well. Others, who note the intolerance for gay rights throughout much of Africa, in Islamic, Christian, and other religious frameworks might start to suspect that Islam wasn’t the active ingredient. Someone who noted the appalling history of women’s rights in much of Asia regardless of religious context might do the same.

Such a person would almost certainly be wary of engaging in debate, however open and honest, with someone who came to their strong conclusions in the face of such easily available evidence to the contrary. You also have to remember that some people use the framework of an open and honest discussion to proselytize, or rant. The archetypical bigot who “wants a fair debate about immigration” while really just wanting to express their bigotry without getting heat for it is one example. The antisemite who talks in terms of “bankers” and “globalists” is another. It’s unfair, but we all have to share a world with them, and so even when we really want to have an open and honest conversation we have to go that extra mile to prove it in cases like these. Otherwise people who don’t act in good faith can effectively mount a DOS on our time and attention through our goodwill.

Edit: Downvotes in lieu of something to say is something I’m becoming depressingly familiar with here. I can see why some people revert to low-effort posting when it’s going to be met with zero-effort. Oh well, I’m not sure what I expected.
Thanks for taking the time to collate these for me. Very much appreciated.
> Why does Facebook think it has the right to remove years of their users' contributions?

I'm guessing that since their fleet of lawyers wrote that wall of legalease everyone must have clicked on, they are pretty sure exactly what their rights are w.r.t who owns the contributions voluntarily sent to their servers.
It would easy for people to coerce others into giving up money for bail, as well. How is this worse in that aspect?
Non American here.

I’ve known about what works in the American education system since the 1990s and before. When I was in my early teens.

Meaning that if you were one of the people in the know, you knew the path that made you the most money.

Strangely, This is a privilege, one not enjoyed by most Americans.
If you are building with concrete I would pay close attention to a few things. Insulation, concrete is shit by itself. Airflow, normal wood houses use the tiny gaps and seams and shit to help draw air through the house all over, a concrete home doesn't and you should make sure you have proper ventilation throughout the house or it will be damp and musty and grow mold. Plumbing and wiring, if you don't have tubes plumbed before you pour you have to build essentially an entire wooden house on the inside to hide the wires and water lines and drywall it all over, near doubling your costs. Foundation, a concrete house needs a more substantial foundation, and if anything settles out of plumb and square later, you can't do anything about it, unlike a wooden home that can be jacked up.

Also, make sure you verify you can get utilities to your house. Just because everyone around you has water and power and internet hookups, doesn't mean they will hook you up, or not charge you a literal fortune to do it. And don't fuck around with permits and shit, they will fuck you if they can.

This reminds me a little of obesity. A lot of people have recognized the problem and are doing something but in the end the average still gets fatter and fatter.
For communities already pushing the extremes of what Prop 47 and Prop 57 allow, this will be one more blow to the common citizenry. Places like Santa Cruz have a very high recidivism rates where serial bike thieves, petty theft, even violence towards common citizens are maybe ticketed and at best brought in and released in a couple of hours will use this as further excuse to do nothing.

Examples - woman assaulted in front of her child at a city park with a ranger near by, perp didn't even get a ticket. Known bike thieves carrying a bike while riding another - nothing done.

This happens in a number of CA cities (Berkeley, SF, Santa Cruz). It's always interesting to see how ideals of one party left unchecked drive a city/state in to the ground.
I wonder if the companies mentioned will cease to use lerna or cease to update lerna? Or if they'll just ignore the clause since the likelihood of any meaningful enforcement is about zero? For example, I checked the top two companies on the list and both Microsoft [0] and Palantir [1] are using lerna currently.

Surely the point of a recommendation system is that it is just that, a recommendation?

I find a lot of my joy in watching netflix is randomly browsing through the catalogue and selecting a random film that I would never watch if I had to either schedule watching on TV or pay to watch at the movies.

The fact that Netflix brings together a wide range of different movies and television programs in one place where for no cost I can watch something you may not like has opened a world of media I would never have found before.
Sure, it allowed you to just never log in, but practically speaking if you were using this feature but primarily active on twitter it actually tended to bring you to facebook when people engaged with you.

I used to use something like this (it was a third party app that only cross posted things tagged #fb) and honestly it made me use facebook more. Now my facebook is a ghost town because fuck if I'm gonna post something on two different sites when something happens to me in my life.

I can definitely see why people think this leads to lower engagement with facebook, but I actually expect that for the vast majority of users who used it, it was the only thing keeping them using it.
It seems you don't actually object to "all lives matter" - just the messages you're injecting in your interpretation. Nothing about "all lives matter" says that all races suffer equally. Nothing about it says that "black lives matter" is denying the worth of non-black lives.

Appeals to judge based on subtext is often an excuse to construct a strawman. A good analogy is criticism of "listen and believe". Many of it's critics complain that it has the subtext that we should do away with the priciples of innocent until guilty and due process. But the phrase says nothing of the sort - just that we should support and listen to victims. Some, perhaps even a significant portion, of those saying "listen and believe" may have used it to further those notions, but it is not correct to pass judgement on the phrase itself.

And for what it's worth I do think that those two messages you outlined are not okay. As stated earlier. That's why I disapprove of "all lives matter" folks from trying to tell "black lives matter" to say "all" - because doing so is depriving people of a voice to more specifically highlight the discrimination Blacks face. Similar I disapprove of the reverse, because it gives credence to the notion that "black lives" is in exclusion of other groups.
Water is a utility.
Electricity is a utility.
Gas is a utility.
Roads are a utility.
Social media is a utility?

sm seems to fit out in terms of scale and importance. We don't need social media like we need roads. Call me a crotchety old guy but I think quite the opposite, we'd all be better off with less social media. No need to enshrine it with the status of "utility".

I use BlueprintJS a lot. And about a year into use I realised that "Palantir" is apparently a company people don't like. All I could think about is how this might become a nuisance if a colleague or customer decides they're going to be political about it.

These moves are frustrating. I just want to make neat stuff. I don't want to get involved in the politics of a country I have no interest in.
Utilities are limited in how they can raise money... tariffs are the core of utility regulation.

Alex Jones and other fringe elements with disproportionate large reach wouldn’t exist on a regulated utility because the advertising practices that allow Facebook to monetize Jones would likely not exist.
This isn't really surprising to anyone that pays attention to cars. The safety innovations of the 90s (crumble zones, etc) added a lot of weight, and cars have just gotten a LOT bigger.

The Accord, for instance, gained almost 2 feet in length and 6 inches in width between the late 80s and today.

Of course, the trucks were smaller back then too - The Ford Ranger (1989) model weighed only 2800lbs.

Well done.
I would argue that there's no reason to put that kind of moral value on an animal's life.

I don't see any reason to believe that minimizing suffering is equivalent to maximizing good, not in the real world where real things happen. Morality must always be tempered by reality. Sometimes suffering of some form must be endured in order to improve a situation.(Example: Your body will induce fever in an attempt to kill off pathogens)

There seems to be an interesting cultural view that it's morally acceptable to butcher cows, but not dogs or cats.(I do think it's admirable that you've attempted to reconcile this) This has baffled me, but I think I've found an explanation for why this may be the case. My suspicion is that the disgust people feel when pets aren't treated with preference over other animals has more to do with the revealing of the character of the owner than it does with assigning the same moral value to a pet as a human. The idea that a person would make a promise to care for and protect someone or something, then callously disregard its suffering is interpreted as a lack of character. Anyone who would do that to an animal might just do it to a person as well.(This same line of reasoning applies to sex with animals as well, or any action that reflects badly on the character of the person performing the action)

Using this perspective, there isn't a contradiction between treating a pet with care vs slaughtering a cow. The dominant view appears to be that animals are primarily utilitarian, in service to humans to the degree that they provide something in return. Many religions take this stance: Christianity treats nature as a fallen garden. Judaism does this as well.(https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/1-Timothy/5/18) I think Hinduism is an exception, though I'm not that familiar with it. The atheistic view of animal suffering tends to put emphasis on the idea that animals share a similar consciousness to humans, and thus when pain is inflicted on an animal, someone is in there feeling it.(Though there is no way to prove this)

I fall into the atheistic category, but I don't see any reason to give non-human animals the same moral value as humans. Why should I when there is so much to be gained by domesticating them? They suffer in the wild, often more so than in human captivity. They can radically decrease the suffering of humans by preventing hunger. Animal domestication provides jobs. Pets provide happiness. I don't see how a primarily utilitarian view of non-human animals can reflect poorly on our character with these things are taken into consideration.
My guess is that new office buildings have alternatives built into the design.

It’s possible to build buildings that are reasonably comfortable in high heat. It just costs more than a generic box with AC.
procmail+spamassassin is an example of a long-lived daemon and a client that talks to it, but indeed, spamassassin had to provide both parts because procmail doesn't directly do that.

I have 20 year old code that does the same client/server thing, by having procmail leave files in a directory that the daemon is watching for new files to appear in.

So I'd agree that it's a useful piece of sugar!
Wow, that's funny: I distinctly remember never crying over not having an iPad mini in kindergarten. They didn't even exist. And now I feel old.
Property rights must have seemed a radical idea at the time they were first introduced. And the time seems right for data rights. Actions like this only solidify the need for such protections.

One of the central questions of our generation is, who owns the data we create? Do we, or do the corporations?

Seeing as Zuck was dragged in front of congress back in April, I think questions like these will only become more important over time.

Let me explain something you seem to be missing: subtext.

Subtext is what is being said without being said. So, when I say, "break a leg" to an actor most people pick up on the subtext, and realize I'm not wishing the actor actually break their leg.

When someone responds to "Black lives matter" with "All lives matter", most people get the subtext is that assuredly racist. I know that might seem confusing, because they're saying one thing, while meaning something very different.
After spending his entire career in construction, one of the last jobs my dad had before retiring was in preparing bids for proposals. The company wanted people with lots of experience in the bidding process. Not just on-budget, on-schedule, but people that had been through over-budget, behind-schedule so that they knew what to be aware of as potential pit falls.
Yes, when you phrase something without context it's easy to make it sound insane.

When you include the context where they need to verify that it's not human trafficking and that children are separated from their parents every day when the parents are arrested for any other crime, it's not quite as insane.
The key issue isn't allowing or not allowing illegal immigration. It's about how supposedly illegal immigrants are treated.

You say that like LGBT individuals don't continue to face legal challenges at the state level [1], or the threat of reduced protections at the federal level [2].

Anyway, the answer is no, because the discussion is about the impact of denigrating political stances on individuals generally. My example is one of many illustrating the importance of a greater principle: a workplace that supports the parties that work to forward such legislation supports the dehumanization of individuals. That is intolerable.

When human dignity hangs in the balance, politics matter.

I like this framing, but I don't think your analysis is correct. There's no financial risk involved in making bail bond loans because it's impossible to default without skipping bail. Further, there's zero incentive to default - the money is never in the borrower's hands, so they can't recoup the principal, and the interest is prepaid, so defaulting doesn't save that payment.

In essence, a bail loan is actually a perfectly secured loan - it is secured by the court holding the principal in escrow. There is no "repayment risk", only risk that the bail will be forfeited due to non-appearance, which is exactly equal to the flight risk.
I can't speak for all of US but at least in Midwest, in the circles I grew up it has always been an attitude or US vs the rest. Mention the metric system to a construction worker and he'll tell you to get the hell lost. US culture values individual accomplishments and self-direction so there tends to manifest an us vs them mentality. Having a unique measurement system helps support that mentality so I really don't see any change coming any time soon in regards to switching to the metric system.
For me this gets at the crux of the question of the place of technology in the classroom, it almost always seems to replace regular paper and textbooks, without actually adding anything. I had teachers who would handout "transparencies" and we'd draw/right and them and then hand them back and the activity was exactly the same... only with $0.00001 pieces of disposable plastic. I really struggle to understand the benefits of a "smartboard" and any computer in the classroom, it really feels like we're just doing this because we can, without asking, "why?"

That sounds plausible. Except that this is happening on a much larger scale than your examples. And they're keeping families separated for months.

Edit: And what really freaks me about this is what's likely over the next few decades. As global climate change disrupts marginal economies, and migration volumes increase hugely. We're basically looking at concentration camps.

Edit: Some prisons now allow mothers to keep their children.
I think the most general thing you could say is monadic mutations of some global state. Blocks act as operators on this state. I don't necessarily think it has to be a consensus algorithm. It can be used as that though.
So recently I got annoyed by DDG's "optimizations" (they are a lot more aggressive in ignoring words in your query than google and unlike google they don't even tell you about it; I know I can use "" to force a term, but !g is much quicker).

I thought I'd give startpage.com a try (proxied google results without tracking), but besides being slow I realized I couldn't live without bangs anymore (and was also missing DDG's rich snippets).

I wish DDG had some kind of bang that tells it that I actually want to search for the query I entered, not some random query they think I might have wanted :/

edit: I should mention that after complaining about it on their subreddit, someone on the team said they are looking into it.
This is terrible. Pretrial detention in rough California county jails is often used as a bargaining chip by prosecutors to get quick convictions in exchange for probationary sentences. "Don't like the constant threat of being raped or assaulted every day? Sign the deal, take a felony conviction, and you'll get out on probation tonight".

This won't result in more poor people being released. It will simply result in a higher percentage of middle and upper class people being extorted into guilty pleas that they would not otherwise take, under the threat of losing their careers and families as a result of many months, and in a large number of cases, years, of pretrial detention.
For the same amount of heat moved, resistive heating is much more energy intensive than the A/C compressor. Heat pumps are about the same, though.

The reason for saying "no, but maybe later" originally was that it was always a desired piece of functionality. I believe the word "inevitable" was even tossed around. The problem was that they didn't like the existing implementations of generics in other languages and also didn't know how they would improve it. I haven't had time to look at the details, so I'm not sure what they actually did, but I think they basically came up with a strategy that they are mostly happy with.

You might ask, why not pick a solution earlier and then improve it over time? However with a popular language it's not that easy. People are writing lots of code. If you start early, you can paint yourself in a corner and end up with a system that you really can't improve very much because it introduces incompatible changes. Note the extremely painful (and drawn out!) incompatible changes with Perl 6 and Python 3. If you make the wrong choice early, you might still take over a decade to find an opportunity to replace it. And since the state of the art in language design moves very slowly, it took a long time before they could see something that they felt they wouldn't regret choosing.

I'm not disagreeing specifically but it seems a bit hyperbolic to say that CA cities or the whole state are being driven into the ground. Last time I checked despite some of the highest state income and property taxes people still really want to move here and stay for awhile.
The obvious class and racial disparities in the current justice system means the city/state has already been driven to the ground for a long time. It's time to pick ourselves backup.

While all the points you mention do bear some credence, I think the biggest argument for iOS tablets over Android is the lack of first party tablet app support on Android. I;m not saying there are no tablet apps, just they're a lot less common vs iPad apps, which often are a lot more than just scaled up iphone apps.
