Ha! Good point. Sorry, when I think of anyone having any opinion on country and the topic coming up in conversation my mind went straight to the US, but of course it's huge all over the place so that was dumb.

I do agree that knee-jerk dislike of country may be rooted in ignorance—but as far as social influence, I'd class that as being good at determining which bad music people like (I like plenty, and it's mostly for those reasons) or dislike, and the country on the radio in the US is, for the most part, firmly of the "you'll only like it if it's part of your scene" sort, so people with a blanket "I don't like country" opinion have very likely only been exposed to the equivalent of its Tenacious D or, at best, Styx (to expose some of my own sub-par likes). It's not their fault they assumed the genre was putting its best foot forward.

And hey, Elton John made Tumbleweed Connection, so there's that. :-)
Will you be funding this with merchant fees? What about fraud protection, will it be as good as a credit card?

If the answers are "yes" and "no" it seems like there's almost no reason for me to pick your card over a credit card right? Unless I'm missing something big.
Cows don't have much purchasing power, so you are wrong.
This has nothing to do with the parent's point. Being the "gadfly" may have value, but it's also inherently aggressive. That's why they killed him, after all. You have to be prepared to defend the value of your particular aggressive provocation- maybe it leads to enlightened self-reflection, but maybe it leads to someone shooting up a mosque.
All big companies make big mistakes. Tesla is much more open, due to their CEO, so you get to see more of the mistakes. I bet you don't track delivery mishaps for other car companies.

And Toyota didn't make an electric vehicle. They made a more efficient gas car.
"Computers should never overrule manual controls."

You should probably avoid Airbuses in that case, since (the opposite of) that is a central design principle.

And Airbus has arguably won the design wars, since Boeing is adopting their approach, just in a half-arsed and potentially dangerous way.
It needs 3 sensors. If there's 2 sensors when you detect disagreement you can't safely do anything, even if it is warranted (e.g. if the AoA data showing 'good' is what's faulty). With 3 sensors you can discard just one bad sensor and continue flying safely, and then repair the broken sensor after the flight. Note that modern aircraft have 3 pitot tubes for precisely this reason. If AoA sensors are going to be so important too, then there also need to be 3 of them.
It's not surprising really. In times like these the governments have to be seen do something least they get crucified on twitter by peace loving people for things beyond their control. Since the governments can't really do anything else in the real world, they take to banning sites with edgy reputations.

The fact that banning 4chan won't solve anything isn't lost on anyone with a working mind, especially not the government. But hey, that's how they stop the violent peace protests and not loose the next election in advance.

Everyone wins here. The terrorists win, the government gets popularity, the peace loving people get internet brownie points and moral satisfaction to overcome their insomnia till the next time, the media gets their clicks and ad revenue and the people on 4chan get their kicks.
Gates found a way to filter pee into water. He drank some on the record :)

Wonder if the same could be done with cow urine. After all, it all started as a drinkable water as well. Still would be hard to find market but in some rural areas or deserts where water is harder to find or more expensive...

The only domestic "mass surveillance" program in Snowden's dumps was phone metadata collection, which everyone did know about since 2006. https://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-05-10-n...

The sensational parts of Greenwald's reporting were not supported by Snowden's documents or any other documents. Anybody who parrots those claims will rightfully be called a tinfoil hatter.
Why do these people think censorship works? The more you don't want me to see it, the harder I will try to see it. I think this is pretty universal human nature. Instead let's use this as a learning opportunity.
Incitement is not, nor has it ever, been protected speech. Even in the US, which originated the concept of free speech as a fundamental human right.

> the friction is coming from the fact that Rust can't be changed any more so that it becomes as ergonomic as other languages people are used to.

What is your proposal, specifically?

It's not that we weren't listening to C++ programmers 10 years ago. We put a ton of effort into making Rust as easy to use as possible. Rather, it's that the problem of memory safety without GC is fundamentally hard. If I could wave a magic wand and release an incompatible Rust 2.0 with memory safety and no new concepts to learn over C++, I'd do it. But it's easy to just say you want a new language. It's a lot harder to actually design such a thing.

I generally think that if you want memory safety, you must either have a garbage collector or the mutability rules and borrow check. There is no other option.
Look into ICL...more expensive but reversible (among other advantages).
(A) This days Cloudflare can sustain all the DNS amplifications without even blinking. This work doesn't help us in any way on the DoS front. This work helps smaller players that don't have spare network capacity. If anything, making amplification attacks harder _reduces_ our benefits.

(B) You are free to run ANY as you like on your domain. For domains you own, this RFC doesn't change anything.

(C) Would you advocate for responding to AXFR / zone transfers? There generally is consensus that allowing enumeration is not desired.

> Regardless of what one believes, posting specifically to inflame or upset people is a form of aggression.

Serious question: is it possible to play devil's advocate without insincere motivations? For example, say someone holds a strong but simplistic belief on a complex topic, if asking a legitimate question in a straightforward and non-offensive manner upsets the person holding the belief, is it necessarily (and always) a form of aggression?

In a turn, AOA will differ from one side of the plane to the other. You'd really need six AoA sensors, three per side, to be really confident.
If you're talking about clickable URLs, I agree with you. But shortened URLs are incredibly useful in non-clickable environments such as posters, where you need a memorable address.

(Example: My department recently organized a scientific conference. The info&registration page was hidden six layers deep on the university website, but we still needed to put the link to it on the advertising poster. In that scenario, a shortened URL (with a QR code) was a sensible solution.)

>More than a dozen mass murderers in the past few years took 4chan and 8chan seriously enough to murder hundreds of people.

If I understand correctly, you're making an argument that goes around this: Exposure to freedom of speech is dangerous to society.

From this, you're proposing: All online discussion should be curated.

I don't want to live in such a world, so I kindly disagree with your proposal. Adults should be able to talk about whatever they want, and no third party should decide what they can or cannot read.

For this to be possible, communities with a very light handed approach to moderation should be allowed to continue to exist. This includes those that allow anonymous posting, as there's enough precedent in human history on perfectly fine ideas that are now generally accepted have been met with hostility. If posting safely is not an option, many will choose to not post at all. Thus ideas would get repressed.
The argument against blackmail that rings most true for me is that if you want transparency and accountability for politicians, blackmail should remain illegal.

In a society where blackmail is fully legal, the incentive for journalists, politicians and corporations align fully against the public.

Consider: A politician is corrupt. He's shady and gaining huge personal wealth through corruption. Or a corporation is doing business practices in secret that would probably cause widespread concern among the public. In a society where blackmail is illegal, a journalist that discovers this is fully incentivized to publish the information. If he tries to blackmail the politician or corporation, then he will if be prosecuted if it's discovered.

OTOH, lets say blackmail is legal. Now the journalist has to balance serving the public interest through publishing with the now fully safe and legal option of simply threatening the politician or corporation to cut them in if they keep quiet, knowing also that since this is legal even if it's discovered they are off scott free.

In other words, legal blackmail means it's fully legal to "cut in" someone who discovers a shady practice on part of the proceeds.

I don't see any way in which legal blackmail doesn't keep the public less informed and more in the dark. The incentives for keeping secrets from the public are far higher in a world where blackmail is legal.
I thought NZ had some Net Neutrality law that didn't allow ISPs to volutarily block stuff? I know it was some anglosphere country that successfully got a NN law passed.

Can you elaborate on why you think this might be due to screen exposure? Just curious since I often have a vision pain too, but was not sure if that is indeed because of screentime. I tend to take time off from screen at regular intervals and maintain healthy lighting around etc.
Actually sometimes they are inciting it. There was a “paki patrol” (their term not mine) that originated in a local pub in a town I lived in. They did do things about it. We pulled one guy out of the river and helped him after they had chucked him in and threw bricks at his head and ambled off when they got bored.

Incidentally the police did nothing.

Edit: this was early 90s.
Is it much difference than milking them? It's just another liquid.
Agreed. I was just stating this to some friends. I used to read the chans and their noxious crap, thinking it was funny anti-authority "rebellious" trolling.

Now you have people announcing their mass shooting on them, and hundreds of posts applauding it while talking about the Jewish conspiracies.

I think that when you troll and joke enough, if it ever was a joke, you can get sucked into it. Especially teenagers and others who are looking for certainty, or apply "logic" to some narrow ideology that finally "gets it."

So yeah, there is some "old school" trolling where people just like to see others get riled up, but that is far less than the first three.
Yes, the rewards will be.

For fraud protection there is 0 liability and we will credit you with the disputed amount instantly and there are several security features built into the card to protect you (on/off switch for ATM withdraws, daily spending limits, virtual cards, and instant push notification).

Point is a digital bank so we offer a checking account and high interest savings in addition to the card, so product/feature wise quite a bit different from a cc.
What's with the strange serialization? Does that mean something I'm not aware of?

At least they are biased consistently and they truly believe they are not. When you agree to say and protect a set of views and facts carefully described in a contract... it's another thing.

Even in places where water is more plentiful that's not a particularly deep well.
Yes, but have the bozos in Sac learned anything? Have we built new water infrastructure to support a population 3x the size vs. when the original, now-ageing infrastructure was built? Was there a cessation of 40% of freshwater being drained into the oceans to preserve the habitats of baitfish and other environmentalist causes? No---we told farmers they were evil because they grow almonds, told people they need to conserve/pay more for water, and have not fixed any fundamental problems. Instead, the now-suspended train to nowhere was Jerry Brown's contribution (though nowhere near as bad as giving gov't workers collective bargaining "rights" in the 70s, fleecing taxpayers till the end of time), whereas his father's legacy was building actual infrastructure.

There is going to be another drought---there has always been drought in California---and nothing will have been fixed. Maybe since the central CA aquifers were significantly drained (they actually sank!) in this drought go-around, next time the farmers will well and truly go out of the business, to the delight of the anti-business pink-haired SF crowd who doesn't realize that despite seeing a vast expanse of water on the horizon every day they walk to work through human excrement to the Twitter Ministry of Truth, the freshwater actually comes from Hetch Hetchy, dammed in the 1930s, and built for a population of the mid-20th century.

The whole water crisis happened due to political and central planning incompetence---no one has been held accountable and nothing has been learned: expect a repeat.

As a citizen, there should be no difference in how my vote is counted when I work for a company, ten or no company. If the company I work for is bankrupt or wealthy that shouldn't matter either. 1 person, 1 vote.

Also, technically, companies also don't really exist. People do. A company, no matter how big should be allowed to fail and die. A human life matters a lot more. Does it? Do we want it to?

Maybe we should start optimising our policies not with respect to GDP or economical growth but with respect to the actual living: humans, animals, fish and even plants.

If we do want companies to vote then let's make it official. But then there are unlimited number of companies we can create.

Let's vote with money than and stop being hypocrites. 1 person with 1M trumps 900k with $1. Whomever has $$$ can vote be it a company, person or dog that inherited the money. At least in this way we know how it works and change our behaviour accordingly but at least let's be honest about it.
We look at all emails and people can email anonymously if they want to. Some go to spam, but I personally check the spam bin and fish out every genuine email that I can. I'm sure we miss a few, but not for want of effort.
I'm in kinda that position (keeping the condo not having more than 1 kid, though). And honestly the sad thing is the kids don't care. Growing up my parents did the whole, salary treadmill, long hours, 30% travel, Saturday conference call business. The money's gone. The vacations forgotten. It kind of sucks nobody cooked in my home and I had to learn how to boil pasta at 17. I don't have college debt, but it's not like I use my degree anyway. I'm not sure all the stuff my parents doubtless told themselves they were doing for me was worth it.

> To be clear, we are talking about donations from employees of the fossil fuel industry, who are just as much citizens and constituents as anyone else.

The usual approach to reporting political donations by firm/industry uses only PAC funds from corporate PACs controlled by firms in the industry, but OpenSecrets aggregates PAC and individual employee donations, which it justifies on the basis that “[o]ur research over more than 20 years shows a correlation between individuals' contributions and their employers' political interests and we have also observed that the donors we know about, and especially those who contribute at the maximum levels, are more commonly top executives in their companies, not lower-level employees.” [0]

In any case, I've been commenting on the political impact, not the merits, of the donations wet his candidacy.

Actually, the reason moderators moderate now is that moderated forums outperform unmoderated forums on just about any conceivable metric, and always have. The subreddits that don't keep up have all their membership migrate to ones that do.

Jailbreaking the Simulation with George Hotz – SXSW 2019
There does seem to be a conflation of “unfair competition” and “monopoly” going on. Generally speaking of this debate, that is.

The App Store is a service rendered to its customers, the likes of Spotify. In the form of the hosting of the app, and all the backend behind that like in-app storage (iCloud). The code review and ‘security guarantee’ that Apple holds over Google and other rivals is also a cost.

IMHO this boils down to subsidy, on the part of digital services companies, publishing apps, subsidise the free and “real world” goods and services company’s that go unlevied for their participation.

It’s a bit like at carnivals, when food trucks pay to get a place, and are often expected to pay a commission on their profits too. But the charity stands, and free ‘workshops’ for kids etc. don’t pay to be their, because their providing a different service.

As far as public information goes, that's correct.

> posting specifically to inflame or upset people

That's not what Socrates did, was it? I thought he was just making observations and asked questions he thought had merit, despite knowing it would upset some people. But the objective wasn't to upset people in the sense of them feeling bad, more like medicine that tastes bitter but is beneficial in the long run.

What I do see a lot is that people impute a bad motivation for a question or claim that allows them to dismiss it without actually having to answer or challenge it, so today, Socrates surely would be called a troll by many. Wouldn't make him one though.
> “Looks like someone went overboard.”

All these things are basically bare minimum table stakes to do anything in the language at all, particularly enabling dozens of compiler directives for language feature extensions. That is Haskell 101 practically, which is actually one of the hugest problems with the language.

Saying this is “overboard” in Haskell is out of touch with the practical realities of using the language.

I understand the economic principle of increasing revenue, and I agree that this partnership is worth it financially; but honestly, who the fuck cares about the health care system not getting revenue?

I just take issue with this viewpoint where the concern for the dollar is placed before people's needs.
