The interesting part about this is both google and facebook rely on network effects to ensure that they offer better services than competitors.

Even running at a loss may be worth them continuing to run in the EU to stop the rise of competitors and to keep the better service that having more users grants them.
How exactly is this a serious competitor to Rust? The guarantees volt is (claiming) to make are nothing compared to Rust. I'm not saying this is bad (Rust is pretty rigorous and hard to code in), but I don't really think they are comparable.

It does seem similar to Nim and Zig, I just think Rust is in a different category from almost all other languages all together.

This is a very interesting point. It seems to me that we should tax capital gains at normal income rates, but only after adjusting the cost basis for inflation. It’s a little insane that we pay tax on the inflation adjustments for TIPs and other supposedly inflation neutral instruments, which all but guarantees that they lose money every year.

Your information is years out of date.
There are now alternate ways to acquire skill points quickly (injectors) and since the cultural revolution and the rise of the F2P accounts there has been a new appreciation of new players in Eve. Most large groups now have some form of new player program in place, often a corporation, (eg. Brand Newbros, Karmafleet) and in the largest cases they have full on newbro alliances (eg. Pandemic Horde, Brave Newbies, etc.)
By that criterion, you should support vaccination because as scientific research has shown over and over again, individuals who serve as vectors of disease end up harming the bodily integrities of their communities.

I think it's the content of the sites that turns people off. I.e., it's not just the messenger, it's the message.

When I see an anti-vax website, I immediately dismiss it as just another anti-vax site.

I imagine when an anti-vax person sees a pro-vaccination site, they feel the same way "Just another pro-vax site, and it's not going to address this serious issue that I saw on the anti-vax site."

I'll accept an "appeal to authority", if I saw an anti-vax doc on the CDC's website, I'd definitely read it (critically). But since the "establishment" is so pro-vax, I suspect that the only authority an anti-vaxxer would accept is someone well known to be against vaccinations.

It might be helpful if some of the parents groups that have been steadfast against vaccinations would reverse course when their children get the measles, but sounds like they are just digging in and dismissing the risk of measles.
When I created my Facebook account, I used a unique email address that I completely disabled after the signup process was over (because I wanted to avoid Facebook's email spam) and I never gave them my phone number and never used the Facebook apps on my phone... yet a bunch of companies uploaded that contact info? very strange.

It's not a good use of a doctor's time to educate the public about how vaccines work.

The idea that a doctor should be removed from general health care concerns seems as poisonous as just about any other other part of the modern American dysfunctional health care system.

A doctor isn't on the top of the health care system merely to provide specialized services. They are there to do exactly this, give the broad public a sense of what science, medicine and general health are. Who else can speak as authoritatively? Especially when you crackpot authorities putting out wholly destructive ideas.
I think yes, it's like declaring every single argument as const.

Hello, I'm Jay and I'm the founder of Oatfin. Would love to get any feedback.

Oatfin is a marketplace for buying and selling loan portfolios. The product is primarily aimed at financial institutions and also investors who want to buy and/or sell the loan portfolios.

There are many reasons a financial institution would sell or buy loan portfolios. For example, when a financial institution fails, the FDIC auctions the loan portfolios. But the current process is pretty difficult. Some of the problems for example: 1. There is a 32 page application to become a bidder. 2. A bidder has to put down a 50,000 dollar deposit on top of the time and resource it takes to do the due diligence for all the loans in a portfolio. Other reasons can be: compliance, liquidity, and reduce risk exposure. On the other side, a buyer can buy a loan portfolio at a significantly reduced price. Larger investment banks sometimes offer securities that are backed by the loans (think of the 2008 financial meltdown).

Oatfin takes care of the due diligence using machine learning as well as protects the privacy of the buyer, seller, and consumer information using blockchain.

Hope that explanation helps! Thank you!
if it is so obvious, why did hundreds of engineers decide to implement it anyways?
What about:

x := &a
a = sort(a)
print(x) // Sorted?

To detect whether something can be mutated in place will require static analysis to see if there are aliases or pointers to the data. If this is an optimization that's based on whether something is safe to mutate in-place, you'll run into the problem where performance becomes different depending on whether something can be optimized or not. For example, adding "x" makes the sort call suddenly perform worse since the compiler sees that it can't mutate "a" in-place.

This is assuming that you allow multiple aliases to the same data. The reason Rust has lifetimes and borrowing is precisely to be safe about mutation. Rust wouldn't allow sort() to modify "a" in-place in the above code.

The Crystal had the right of way. By COLREGs, they were supposed to maintain their course and attempt to convince (via radio, horn, and signal lights) the other ship to give way. They were going half the speed of the Fitzgerald, and were much less maneuverable with far less power driving a far heavier vessel. This is like asking why a train ran into an automobile parked on the train tracks.
it's a horrible horrible thing, and I think anti-vaxxer parents are awful people who are putting their kids lives at risk.

But I think the only way these people will learn is if some kid they know ends up dead because of their selfishness.
This is frankly an absurd reduction, and harmful to rational discourse. While arguing for and against it can be a helpful thought exercise, it's depressing how often I see it simply stated in indignation.

Most cheeses contain mold: https://www.bonappetit.com/story/is-moldy-cheese-okay

Only fresh cheese don't, such as cream cheese, mozzarella, and queso fresco.

One last tip that might help you if mold is your problem: I find that I have to scrub my faucets clean about once a week with an old toothbrush. I'm sensitive enough that a bit of mold in my drinking water can cause a coughing fit. (But I also live in a pretty humid place where mold grows easily.)

You'd think that if illegal immigrants crossing the southern border are bringing in these diseases, we'd see regular outbreaks in cities on both sides of the border instead of in a much more northern known anti-vax enclave?

Even the affected parents are accepting responsibility and calling it an "inbreak" rather than an "outbreak".

Is the use-case here really related to that of block storage?

I imagine a given pool of blocks is reserved for one of VM at a time. I wouldn't want to share the storage live between two VMs unless it was being accessed by some application specifically designed to hit a shared block store.

The point of something like virtio-fs would be to allow multiple VMs to share a file tree. It is a compromise between bind mounds (which are simpler, but only work for containers) and network filesystems (which work remotely, but are less efficient and well behaved).
From what has been reported on the news, it's only children that have come down with measles in Washington State. No reports of adults so far.

US schools must accept any and all undocumented immigrant children into K-12 schools. This was a 1982 US Supreme Court ruling. So immigration status shouldn't be a barrier to vaccination for children. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plyler_v._Doe
It seems to me like the answer is obviously "no", and that nobody outside the extremes in all these wealth disparity conversations even suggests such a thing, so I wonder if you had a more subtle question in mind along similar lines.
> Our society lacks clear trusted authorities on important basic issues.

This is definitely not true of public health issues. Even though some states have dangerously lax rules about claiming exemptions to vaccination requirements, the fact that the requirements exist in any form should be enough of a clue. Or the fact that every doctor and nurse recommends these vaccines, starting before your kid is even born.

If you cannot tell the difference between a professional opinion coming from your doctor, and bullshit coming from an internet troll, then you absolutely should feel stupid. That's the correct response to finding yourself in that kind of situation.

If it takes two hours for your doctor to convince you that you should get your kids vaccinated, then you're being an asshole to your doctor by wasting so much of his time resisting his well-informed professional advice. It should be a two minute conversation, unless the parent and the doctor literally don't speak the same language.
Yeah his example is comical in the sense that it kind of shows the nature of the problem.
Why you could easily advertise an email on a tech news aggregate site asking people to use it to sign up for sites that may send you unwanted emails. You wouldn't even need to set up a webpage. That's if you didn't want to sort out a more direct method.
I wasn't criticising you, just asking the more general question here of why clicking the close button doesn't work reliably.
Concern for "bodily integrity" might compelling if abstaining from vaccines didn't harm anyone else, or if the subjects weren't children unable to make informed medical decisions for themselves; obviously neither of those things are true.
Well, one extremely important difference is that I might trust company X in part because they will want to preserve their brand but not trust poorly-run user-analytics company Y that a part of X uses which will give X plausible deniability for responsibility.

The other is that PCI helps mitigate their handling on the CC side but those user analytics companies aren't part of that.
I've tested a bunch of bulbs for flicker with a handheld flicker meter and with a photodiode connected to an oscilloscope. It's funny that some of the bulbs out there claiming to be "healthy" have terrible flicker. One product from Soraa was flickering at over 50%, almost as bad as the cheapest/worst LED bulbs you can buy.

I don't have a database, but I can say that most (but not all) filament designs are terrible for flicker--ours is an exception. Philips products seem to have gotten worse in quality over time, probably to remain competitive, but they are better than the worst. Ikea's stuff is pretty good overall. I don't have a consistent recommendation for low-flicker general lighting right now, as every brand has good and bad products.
I only know what I read.

"Coates followed up: "I hate to personalize this, but do you think it is moral for individuals to, for instance—do we live in a moral world that allows for billionaires? Is that a moral outcome?"

"Technology executives and venture capitalist have also expressed increasing concern in the past few weeks about Democrats’ denigration of business leaders, said Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), whose district includes Silicon Valley."

I've been seeing the same sensationalist language even in "respected" publications like the NYT lately. For example, they recently published a story where it was implied that because Spotify's Messenger plugin has standard read/write permissions (necessary to ensure basic functionality like sharing songs) that it could also actively monitor, store, and modify your private messages.

In smaller publications, some shoddy reporting can often be attributed to a lack of experience or resources. It's hard to find an excuse for larger publications with well-established editorial resources, however. These stories are presented under the guise of public interest, but in reality they seem increasingly driven by politics and sinister ulterior motives. The end result is the spread of misinformation and further public distrust of the media and technology as a whole.

So many features have been added over time, I think it's beginning to show that the features are piled on top of a language that weren't designed for them.

Things that I think feel awkward are the tuples handling, switch case pattern matching. As a go developer, when I see the Func, Action, Expression, and Predicate objects... oof I shudder. When you layer function overloading on top of those, you can get in a mess.

Obviously it's an unpopular opinion, but I would like to see what c# would look like if it was designed from scratch again.
You can dim LEDs by turning them on and off really fast using a process known as pulse width modulation (PWM). Ideally for something like brake lights you would use a constant current driver to control the light level to prevent flickering. I don't know why GM is using PWM, but I'm guessing they just use a cheap control circuit. I really hate their LED tail lights. Just moving your eyes from side to side is enough to easily see the flashing.
I edited a feature length movie using it. Most of the problems I encountered were poor source footage, not Blender.

That said, adding things like titles and scrolling credits were unique puzzles.

The idea of bodily integrity fundamentally makes sense, but in the context of vaccinations and the undeniable benefits to the entirety of society, it should not stand in the way of vaccinations.

Alongside your disapproval of compulsory vaccinations do you approve placing limits on the interactions with society for a non-vaccinated person if there's no medical reason for them not to get vaccinated?

As far as I understand it there has been a few legislative pincher moves since inception. The 17th amendment might qualify as one. It allowed for a populist instead of representative vote of our senators and basically created the modern situation of whomever spends the most campaign money wins. AKA special interest/lobby groups now rule.

That is one of of the few small changes of course the country made that if reversed would probably be to the benefit of most. To revoke the 17th would be senators literally voting themselves out of work, hence it would never happen. A soviet style collapse is a revolution too, just forced and likely crummy.
It is pretty clear that new wave Democrats (e.g., Justice Democrats, or the like) are more than willing to consider any billionaire immoral because they are billionaires.

At least that is what their most prominent pols say.
There's pros and cons to deciding whether to go "graph native"
or existing DB.

PROS

You can optimize for exactly the types of queries that you want graph databases to answer: shortest path, path finding, etc. Relational databases / document databases are (generally) very poop at those types of queries because those are not the types of queries people want to run on those databases. In a "graph native" database, everything down to the storage on disk can be optimized to perform graph algorithms.

CONS

There's years, sometimes decades, of engineering that goes into databases (I'm thinking of PostgreSQL and Cassandra, both of which have graph "layers" available). A lot of the engineering work is non-graph specific: ACID, how to handle transactions, distributed computing, WAL, replication.

Why re-engineer all of those just to perform graph operations? More quickly.

Also, I can send you a good paper by the founder of DGraph Labs if you're really curious.
Most of the people I was referring to most likely had opportunities and backing exceeding young Gates, yes. But I don't think your point is reasonable. In your model, there appears to be nothing anyone can take credit for, effort or not.

This seems like a brilliant insight. More dimensions means the software can say "wait, what if THIS particle gets over HERE suddenly" (through an extra dimension), and then as the extra dimension penalty ramps up, find a way to get to it through the 3 spatial dimensions we know and love.
