I think they're saying that a lot of sites use cookies instead of the web storage api to store the option on the dialog, meaning that even if the dialogue are opt-in, they won't work unless the user enables cookies.

Basically a fundamental misunderstanding of the difference between cookies and local storage on the part of the web developers of many sites; i.e. cookies are sent with every request, whereas localstorage isn't and these sites should be storing the option to not use cookies in the localstorage instead of cookies, and I think I'm repeating myself because I haven't had my coffee after taking a nap, but that's neither here nor there or anywhere.
I'm more familiar with GTK, but can't you still make it look like anything you want pixel perfect?

Not everything does but they raised a lot of money on the presumption that they would become huge, and now that screws up the incentives for new hires etc.
Exactly. Price controls result in famines and shortages.

Allow gouging, and the gouger will soon have competition to drive the price down. Very quickly, the price will drop to a reasonable level. Conversely, if you price control, there is no incentive to provide the good or service in the first place, and shortages ensue.

Government price control regulations distort markets in a dangerous way.
With so many platforms that's unrealistically expensive. It's not just Windows and OS X anymore.
I went digital for a while, but switched back to print.

What I found was, ebooks aren't that much less expensive. Possibly more expensive, in that I don't believe the amount of money I have spent on e-readers, amortized over all the ebooks I have bought, works out to a lower price than what I'd have spent on print copies of the same set of books.

And, even if I dis save some money, the fact remains that I just don't enjoy the e-reader experience as much. I love browsing books at a physical bookstore, I love reading the staff recommendation cards, looking at what the book clubs are reading, etc. I love the physical experience of turning the page, I love how much crisper and more readable the paper is, I love the smell of the paper, etc.

The only bit I hated was how much space the books take up, and how annoying they are to deal with when I'm moving. And at some point I hit on the solution to that problem: Pass 'em on. By the time I get to the last page of a book, I already know if there's a good chance I'll want to read it again. If there isn't, why hold on to it? That one realization reduced the size of my book collection by maybe 90%. Thanks to the magic of used bookstores, I was even able to turn them into more books I hadn't read yet.

I've still got the e-reader, but nowadays it's mostly fed by Humble Bundles.
You should be using localstorage from the web storage API and not cookies. Cookies are sent to the server with every request. Local Storage is not.
I don't see how you can claim there were no problems with trade before the tariffs, China outright bans far more American companies and classes of imports than the reverse.
I tried to like Evernote.. I really did. I live and breath in PDFs and read constantly. I actually had to give up and build my own platform.

https://getpolarized.io/

I've basically been coding mad and heads down for 2 months building it. I think we will have a release candidate in another week or so...

My hope / goal is to make a BETTER Evernote that's open source and lasts 20-30 years.

We have some AMAZING Open Source apps like VLC that just seem to last the test of time.

I think we deserve better!

One of the other things I wanted was something that was inherently hackable with a plugin API. The data is stored on disk and persisted via JSON so it's easy for write 3rd party apps that use the data.

It also works with git, dropbox, etc if you want cloud sync. I'm probably going to build in native cloud sync though and probably use Amazon Appsync since it supports offline sync easily.

You have no way of knowing if it is a real risk or not. The law is the law; all it takes is a shift in power, with a group coming into power that wants to make an example of your company, and suddenly the risk is very real.
We need a way to determine if the debate responses are rational (not currently possible on free text without super non-existent AI or human moderators).

Trying to find common ground just eliminates useful debates because your solution ends up being "put the people who agree with each other together". Also, people having common ground doesn't mean they will behave rationally when they run into differences.

I would rather debate socialism with someone rational who believes in it rather than a strawman portrayed by someone else in the capitalist bucket I get thrown into.
Creating a Basic CRUD Web App with Vue, Vuetify, and Butterfly Server .NET
It's possible to set compiler flags to optimize for size. That said, I've also seen large binaries, and monomorphization can contribute to that. Some projects are taking that more seriously, for example miniserde is designed to explicitly minimize monomorphization and this improve both code size and compile time.
I've been to your part of the world. The entire area felt unsafe everywhere. I got into a semi-fight on the bus for taking a seat. I've had poets aggressively push there words. It seems like the area is ready to explode.

Detriot feels much safer. People mostly leave you alone.
Wear the wrong colors could be an issue. The boards over windows is a little bit scarier but in Detriot you feel more prepared, even expect something to happen so it rarely does. In Oakland/SanF things can be very calm but turn really quickly.
If these are what makes poor children perform poor at school, then the strategy of making good schools to boost house prices is not viable -- we simply have no idea how to make kids facing the problems described above achieve good scores, because if we did, we'd already be doing this. Moreover, this wouldn't attract wealthy buyers, because their children don't have these problems in the first place, so they won't get any improvement.

The point here is that we have no idea how to make a school good, other than by kicking out bad students (whatever the reasons for them being bad might be) and getting good ones. If you knew a way to take a random bad performing school in the country, and bring its students educational outcomes to above national average, you'd make lots of money contracting out consulting to local government.
> Sometimes those checks are elided, and so it's exactly the same. Sometimes they're not.

This is something I've personally thought about a lot and I have no idea how I'd actually want it implemented either on the backend or in the syntax, but I think it'd be useful to have some way to say "I want these bound checks to be elided, if they can't be then make that an error". Similar to how you'd decorate a pure function in other languages to say that it can't cause side effects or depend on side effects for what it's doing.

I think that's probably a high level ask that's probably significantly more difficult that it seems initially too.
Under the law it would different, none of your examples are protected classes, discrimination in employment is only illegal if the targeted/excluded group is a protected class, those being: men and women on the basis of sex; any group which shares a common race, religion, color, or national origin; people over 40; and people with physical or mental handicaps.

The company I work for, for example, does not hire smokers (and makes this clear during hiring and makes the specifics part of our contracts), and this is perfectly legal. But it would be illegal to not hire anyone based on being in, or not being in, one of those specific protected classes.

Now, if they were being used as proxies for those classes, then yes it would be illegal, but it would be up to a court to determine if that was the case. If I ran a company that made action movies "Must love action movies" being a basis for my hiring decisions is obviously not intended as a proxy for a protected class and would be legal. If my company makes printer paper, then I'm on shaky legal ground.

That being said, I'm not sure if there are actually laws making it illegal to publish discriminatory job ads for someone, but Facebook assisting in illegal and discriminatory actions is an issue regardless of if their part is specifically illegal or not.
Cryptocurrencies are not used directly in the purchase of stock, real estate or consumer transactions - this isn't an attack on them - just an observation that private banks used to issue money before central banks existed - and those monies would have been used for those sorts of purchases. Presently cryptocurrencies in use look more similar to those tokens/vouchers companies offer except with a secondary market, esp. the ICO model.

I was pondering at the idea that central banking or any regulation of capital flow in society is a strange topic. Central banks are these organizations - people dressed in suits, they have office chairs and receptionists - but this window dressing as corporation or government office distracts us from what is a very strange topic. You have this complex network represented by a number. What is being said by this? That the Federal Reverse is economic homeostasis and the interest rate represents the equilibrium?

Half the time I think central banks make sense and the other half of it I think everybody must be insane. Seems like we could use the rationale for central banking to perform other activities, like population control. Nobody makes the case for something like that but how is it crazier? They're different forms of capital, right?
Seconding T-mobile. Pretty much every major media provider is zero-rated and they welcome suggestions for new additions, so it's actually pretty fair as far as zero-rating goes. Just about the only thing you're out of luck on is if you A) use a VPN or B) stream from a private server.
Thanks for that. I know that Debian has had security blunders in the past (RNG problems anyone?) so as I typed it I had some hunches, but...

Importantly though, it's a big project which in this specific instance meant that someone on earth did end up scrutinizing and publishing exactly the sort of thing you linked.
Facebook publishes the ads. If someone asks Facebook to publish an illegal ad (or to do anything else that's illegal), Facebook should refuse.

If you do something illegal because your users asked you to, it's still illegal.

The article is pretty clear that publishing the ads is illegal.

> Trade war with EU and Canada might be the most unhelpful thing Trump has done.

Actually it’s an incredibly smart culturally sensitive move - it allows the Chinese to save face.

Instead of making it the West vs China the perception has been shifted to Trump trying to get fairer trade deals for the US even with close allies.
With unemployment, happiness is very directly related to your your bank account balance, or the willingness for others to provide for you.

With employment, there's usually a lower limit since there's a reasonable change you're able to eat and stay out of the rain.
I like that they point out it won't be of use if you're given a required number of words rather than pages.
I'm surprised they made it this long. I never liked the app personally and honestly can't fathom why they had a staff so large.
nit: the author describes the '?' operator as both not-magic and magical.

IMO an operator that returns is pretty magical. What do others think about '?'? It's certainly more ergonomic than pattern matching / monads etc, but it also seems easy to miss if it's buried in the middle of an expression.

I think Swift's try is a bit nicer to use, because it comes at the beginning of the statement, provides more flexibility in how the error should be handled, and supports multiple expressions that may generate errors. On the other hand Swift's error handling is an addition to its type system, instead of being built inside it like Rust.
He stopped the outbreak entirely by accident. For all he knew, registering the domain name being queried by WannaCry could have caused the malware to start deleting all the data with no chance for recovery. Even if he did know that he was going to stop the outbreak, it doesn't excuse the fact that he helped create tools that he knew were going to be used for illegal activities.

>Assuming a well-functioning democracy, they have whatever rights The populace wants them to have, including deciding what types of speech are acceptable.

So... mob rule.
That seems like a very stable and restrained society. I can't think of any obvious problem with that, or any time in, say, German history (to name a particularly egregious example) where mob rule run amok destroyed most of the Continent. Or Russian history. Or Cambodian history. Or Chinese history. Or...

The only currently reliable way to defuse mob rule is to decentralize. This is done by passing laws that say that society can't stop its individual members from doing certain things. And while this does lead to a very polluted commons (and sometimes isn't sufficient on its own to prevent the mob from taking over), it also leads to an exceptionally stable society simply because the "we should gang up and hurt/ban the people we hate" reflex is impotent outside of one's chosen groups and the hands-off attitude becomes ingrained in the people after a while.

The right to be wrong is important, because once the mob decides that your life itself is wrong (or rather, the closer the local Overton Window is to that idea- the more entitled a society is to restrict its members, the closer it is to this by definition) you're in trouble as soon as the mob hits a rough spot. It might advance faster at times, but it's just too unstable.

I still don't know whether quality children usually have rich parents. Whatever quality and rich are taken to mean, exactly.
It can be simpler than that. The government has already ordained and required the laws. If Facebook publishes an illegal ad, the government should enforce those laws and punish Facebook.

It's up to Facebook to take whatever internal steps they deem necessary to prevent that from happening. The government doesn't need to decide what steps need to be taken -- it only needs to care about the outcome.
Even though the US are China's biggest trading partner, US trade "only" accounts for about ~18% of China's total trade.

China is still trading with other countries. While it may take a hit from US companies pulling some manufacturing out of China, some of those will be replaced by other - both Chinese and foreign - companies. Especially other foreign companies operating in China will profit from reduced competition for Chinese labor / manufacturing, encouraging them to move more manufacturing there.
This will blunt the impact of manufacturing for the US market disappearing.

Also US companies will only withdraw in part from from China, since they can still manufacture goods intended for anywhere else in the world there - just not for the US.

In the end China will take a hit, but nothing close to requiring those measures you're picturing.

The US will have to bootstrap a lot of manufacturing to replace Chinese labor. This will sound good on paper
and look good on some economic metrics, because it requires domestic investment. But since the American lifestyle won't be "subsidized" by cheap and exploitative Chinese labor anymore, the average American may actually find himself to have less than before.

And the rest of the world will profit from having two major players intentionally cripple each other.
IMO it's the exact opposite. "Il mondo e' bello perche' e' vario".

This is insanely dangerous. One whiff of the slipstream and you are dead.

As for physical difficulty, the bike setup she uses takes about 1.5 watts per mph of rolling/gearing resistance, although the back end of the slipstream gives some forward pressure. The drag vehicle is likely the limiting factor.
Pretty cool idea, I can see the incentive for kids and parents using this. It's not a failure, hope it works out for you!
I think you have it the other way around. People for whom work is dead, lost time really need to get their work/life balance sorted out. If you view work as part of your life, then it's a much less binary view of prioritisation. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't prioritise. It just means that the prioritisation is more nuanced than: do what I don't like for 8 hours and then do what I do like for the rest of the day.

In my way of thinking, there are a lot of things you have to do in your day that you may not really want to do. For example, you've got to brush your teeth. I don't have a "brush my teeth"/life balance. I brush my teeth because I want my teeth brushed. Sometimes I enjoy brushing my teeth. Spending some time to look after myself can be very rewarding. Most of the time, I'm thinking about my other priorities.

The same goes for cleaning the house, doing your dishes, doing your laundry, cooking, doing yard work, visiting your family, washing your car, fixing things around the house, etc, etc. At various times, those tasks are the highest priority even though you might not want to do them. You still have to do them. But people who find a way to enjoy at least some of those tasks are going to be a lot happier overall than people who don't.

I think you are right that for most people that the binary point of view is the truth of it, but to be perfectly frank, for most people their only free time is being taken up by watching people being nasty to each other on reality TV shows. Just because it is common, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

You've got 8 hours of your day being taken up by work. You've got lunch at work. You've got your commute. You've got getting ready for work. You've got unwinding from the stress of work. That's a crap load of your life! You can waste it being miserable if you like, but I really don't recommend it.

In any job there is something you can find to enjoy. You may not enjoy it every single day, but the more you succeed in getting into the enjoyment zone, the better your life is going to be. Or at least, that's the way I look at it.
>As an example - the sub for "late capitalism" memes bans defenses of capitalism or debates on the merits of socialism

Tangential: I honestly don't understand why someone would willfully participate in such obvious propaganda (even if you 100% believed eliminating capitalism is the solution). It's willfully burying your head in the sand to pretend that your ideology that would replace the modern western world isn't open to criticism.

Attractor Neural Networks
I've been alive a decent amount of time now and I've seen no evidence that price controls during disasters are anything more than political fluff for easy points. Everyone - even otherwise reasonable folks - love their 2 minutes of hate on "price gougers" even if the facts don't make much sense.

As far as I can tell, all they do is simply limit supply. I'd seriously consider loading up a 53 foot trailer full of generators and drive them 2000 miles to Florida some years if it were legal to sell them at 2-3x retail. But it's not, so I don't bother as it's not worth my time and immense financial risk.

And I'm not even in the generator selling business. Someone who is I imagine could be quite incentivized to keep the factory open a few more shifts and ship a bit more if profits were there to offset the additional expense and risk.

Instead we have these laws that encourage stuff like a single dude living alone buying 3 cases of water at the gas station and the family of 6 who arrives an hour later can't get a single bottle. Or the dual with dual tanks in his pickup truck filling both up and the folks who come by in their Civic needing 1.5gal to evacuate can't.

The response of course to my complaints is rationing, which of course brings up a whole other giant can of worms.

> they make markets more efficient, deflate bubbles, root out fraud and delusion, and generally make the world better with their unpopular and negative activity.

This is true when they're shorting Enron or some other fraudulent entity. The issue is that you can short any high risk high reward play and make money if they fail. But then enough shorting can cause them to fail, because it makes it more difficult to raise money by selling new shares or using shares as collateral. And causing a large undertaking to fail when it otherwise wouldn't have is obviously not efficient.

It also increases volatility because on one side the existence of the shorts makes the company more likely to fail, but if the company succeeds anyway or even just stays the course then there could be a "short squeeze" as the shorts have to buy back the shares they owe when no one is really interested in selling, so the share price skyrockets. It's not exactly a moderating influence.
The Instagram Song
All of today's software is built on millions of lines of code. This isn't much of a problem when it's hidden away behind a good abstraction. Being written in another language forces the API to be documented well enough so you don't need to go deeper: "native code", "kernel code", "part of the browser".

Crappy million-line Java apps are generally crappy not due to raw line count but rather due to leaky abstractions and badly designed APIs, so you do have to navigate through a lot of that code.
