Absolutely!

It's funny that the words they use, "dystopian", "doomsdayish" etc. etc. ... are all from fiction. these are literally categories of genre-fiction. They're trying to make straight faced predictions about the future using what is literally in the book store under "Fiction". Something that is by definition not real, a fabrication, a lie. How can they possibly expect me to take them seriously or grasp what it is that I'm doing? They've taken stories they know are fake and mapped them to the real world. How is that any different from religion? I'm giving them mathematical arguments and they're giving me Dr. Seuss.

That's messed up. Well, Hitchen's Razor says that, "What can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence". Here's my razor, "What can be asserted with fiction can be dismissed with fiction". This is a bulwark against those who insist on living in a world of fantasy and superstition. But for the rest of us, those who want to live in reality, I'm giving you the real world.
> So you are OK with all those employees losing their job because the government decided the minimum wage was too low?

With the lower end of the job market being flooded with work in Seattle, there isn't much reason to fear. There are many more job openings than workers offering full time as part of a union shop (Fred Meyer & QFC).

As to the rest of your whataboutism, I have no desire to interact with that. Its a crappy debate tactic :P
Yeah, I have always interpretted that particular emoji as wincing in pain, like, "ouch, how incredibly awkward" as if the person were grimacing, or cringing at someone else embarassing themselves.

That's what the face looks like. Abivalent schadenfreude, halfway to laughing at the expense of others.

At best, it reads like laughing at someone who accepts a painful dare, like eating an incredibly spicy pepper and then laughing as they choke and cough and cry from the spice and heat.
Another way to look at it is that cross-pollination is a good measure of the merit of a language feature. If one language invents it another a dozen other popular languages adopt it, it's probably a good idea, and its proliferation is good for everyone.
> Or simple efficiency. Why spend hours figuring something complex out when the problem has already been solved a million times prior.

I agree, at least when it comes to problems that don't fall into your core specialization. When you have a broken pipe, you don't spend several years studying plumbing, you just call a plumber. Similarly, when I have problem with LibreOffice, I don't start reading its source code, I go to Stack Overflow.
Google’s GSA is done, long live cloud-based site search analytics
That wouldn't really do anything for the issue GP raises. If society sees someone sitting on a pile of ill-gotten gains, donating some of it (whether openly or secretly) just means society will see someone sitting on a slightly smaller pile of ill-gotten gains. They will not consider someone who fleeced or extorted them and then gave some money back to be their benefactors. They'll only avoid that perception by not being associated with corruption, rather than not being associated with philanthropy.
To be specific, I'd call that functional redundancy, versus hardware redundancy. Be able to get the same thing done in different ways.

NASA's Genesis mission was bit by this a while back. It had redundant parachute sequencers for a sample return capsule, but they were all assembled identically and with the G-sensors backwards. Consequently, they all failed in exactly the same way.
Isn’t that the charm?

My issue was more with recent tickets I’ve seen being pretty expensive.
Counterpoint: Many people of the "general public" are at least vaguely aware of the fact that they're making risky decisions, but proceed regardless in order to reap the short-term rewards that you mention, calculating that the benefits are worth the hypothetical costs, and many of them will live and die having been right about making that tradeoff.

Re Paypal cost, is that micropayments to businesses? I just sent my friend $0.01 and it was free, with a linked bank account. Understood that the bank account payments take a while to settle but we're talking about micropayments so settlement time doesn't really matter

Fair point about nanopayments. But what's the win? Why split up the cost per single watt or packet? No one cares about losing one cent per day due to rounding errors

That's what I'm saying. It's not uncommon for companies to have AWS linux infrastructure for deployment but give everyone windows laptops for development. Don't ask me, ask the IT department.
Sure, I'm aware of those cases - but I am not a former Russian military intelligence officer, and I'll wager that nobody else participating in this thread is, either. There is no conceivable reason that any dictator, anywhere in the world, should care enough about any of us to bother spending the enormous amount of money and presumably political capital that would be involved in executing such an attack, so why should we worry about it?

Generally these workers are 1099's of said "Vendors", yet they turn up to the same offices, do the same work as Googlers, and get treated much worse.

The vendor is just an intermediary to add a step of indirection and lack of accountability.
But do any of these features progress the language or provide any performance benefits? Most read as syntactic-sugar (I understand Ruby is about developer happiness) and unnecessary.
There's value, but we need to discuss marginal value and cost.

We shouldn't be asking "is Facebook as a whole worth its creepiness" in a vaccuum, it's "is the difference between Facebook and other platforms worth the difference in creepiness?"

Everything most consumers use Facebook for (photo/video sharing, chat/messaging, micro-blogging, discussion groups, event management) can be done by other services as well if not better. These days, they might be under different umbrellas, but it's basically the side features of a Yahoo-style portal circa 2002. Features they had no trouble delivering without making undeletable shadow profiles of your garage bandmates, snarfling every bit of data off your Nokia 3310, and selling your political leanings to the Yeltsin administration.

The quality of the services aren't the draw. It sure as hell isn't the convoluted user interface and the constant rearranging of things designed to undermine any sense of control you had. The appeal is mostly "but all my friends are there and I can't convince Aunt Bobette to change to Mastodon." And that problem can be solved with federation and SSO initiatives.

Ha, I was thinking historically like solitaire or chess or bridge or the like.

The real exception is gambling games.

And I did think along the same lines (in a very minor way) with arcade games. Pinball - where skill let you prolong a game gave way to video games (like pacman or tetris you mentioned), which quickly got too hard to keep going. And it went further when games like gauntlet kept you feeding quarters in a pay to play way.

But at that time, we got atari and nintendo and so forth. Pay once, play for a long time. Kids grew up with this, and parents worried about the cost of a cartridge.

But the current crop of games is free, yet blatantly money oriented. Plants vs Zombies pre-EA vs post-EA comes to mind. Add grinding and then pay to not grind.

Yes, a little rose colored. But in vegas you can actually register as a compulsive gambler and the casinos will not serve you.

Do you need a test to figure out whether $1,000/second would work out?

During demonetisation in India (2016), Mobile wallet startups threw the privacy out of window.

Paytm (India's largest e-Wallet), asked customers to enter their credit card details on their app on merchant's smartphone. I reported the security risk to them with a POC to their bounty hunting[1], they asked me to wait, removed the feature & the CEO told media that I was lying, there was never a security risk.

Mobiwik, read customer's SMS of bank transactions to inform its users which ATMs had cash.

> my understanding is that when working properly, MCAS would not kick in except with angles of attack that should not be seen in normal flight conditions.

Was the need for MCAS really so infrequent ("never during the pilot's career" -- are you aware how seldom it is?) the planes would simply have MCAS completely disabled and fly as we speak. That would be the full content of the Boeing's "software fix.

It's obvious that MCAS has to be kept turned on as soon as no autopilot is activated. (I'd also like to know how non-redundant (i.e. max 2) faulty AoA sensors affect the autopilot, by the way -- having just read that the modern Airbuses have four of combined AoA-speed sensors).

"But it's just because of the regulations" -- don't forget these regulations are there to minimize the number of crashes. And the regulations eventually in this case reduce to as simple as "the pilots have to be trained for the plane if the plane behaves differently." Which they weren't, and the latest Boeing claimed on that topic, after the two crashes was that the "one hour iPad training" will be enough(!?) And we now even know that Boeing was even allowed to do the certification process for themselves instead of FAA doing this.
I travelled Stockholm-Copenhagen biweekly for a couple of years, and flying was cheaper and faster door-to-door than the train pretty much 100% of the time. That includes getting through airport security and taking public transportation to/from the airports at either end.

I mean, I would have preferred to take the train, but I'm not going to pay more to get there slower...

I just can't see how Rust is a good choice for web dev. There's a lot of mental overhead to writing Rust. Something like C#/Kotlin/Go will avoid all the same bugs and give you 95% of the performance while being much easier to code.
I think it goes both ways. Yes the student has to expend effort to understand, but teachers can make a huge difference. With Stackoverflow, I think often the simple questions point to a possibility that technical documentation isn’t all that beginner friendly. That and a lack of good examples in many tech docs. Good questions answered by good teachers can be an amazing shortcut to better understanding.

> But it’s more your own lack if you’re not able to imagine these thing inside your mind by yourself

Maybe that in itself is a taught skill?

>I'm probably missing your point, since one certainly don't need a preprocessor for line numbers in logging statements.

So, libc doesn't define anything like pclntab. About the closest you can really get is DWARF2 call frame information, which is generally treated as debug information (because, well, it _is_) and stripped in release builds. Further, not all platforms will use DWARF2, and the way it is embedded in binaries differs.

(Example: In Win32, when you are using MinGW, DWARF2 will be embedded as PE sections, which have 8 character long names; this is not long enough for the DWARF section names, so a special PE extension is used to specify the longer section names.)

What i'm trying to illustrate is, it's really, truly not possible to go from a PC value, to a line number in a source file, in pure C, at runtime. However, of course, as you have no doubt noticed, everyone still manages to print out line numbers in C source code. And they do this using the preprocessor.

If you dig deep enough into pretty much any logging library that offers line numbers in C and C++, you will find a macro that passes through __FILE__ and __LINE__. And if you keep tracing, you will probably also find the 'function' you call to log is a macro that eventually calls this macro. As a quick example, here is one in glog, a logging library used at Google:

https://github.com/google/glog/blob/41f4bf9cbc3e8995d628b459...

Pantheios is another popular logging library, and it defines macros that can be used to control the prefix.

https://github.com/synesissoftware/Pantheios/blob/177dc5fcff...

If you look into your logging library, it is quite likely that you will find that at the end of the day, it boils down to the __FILE__ and __LINE__ macros. When all of the macros are computed for your log line, the preprocessor subs in a string literal and line number for the filename and the line number that the macro was originally invoked from.
Its unfortunate how U.2 does not receive much attention. How much M.2 devices can you probably fit into curent workstation/server motherboards? 3? U.2. takes place of SATA for being a dedicated connection to multiple storage devices and can fit so much more in same chassis.

If we need some sort of new-gen ssd raid, the unweildiness of m.2 mounting won't gonna cut it.

The u2 benefits, compared to m2 mentioned on wikipedia seems to miss the point - u.2 is meant to be important in server space where you can have 12 drives per 1U, all with frontal/top load. all these cards we have with m.2 are not meant and cannot be operated at storage-system scale.
Which is to say, if you have redundancy, your thing is reliable, and thus a thing at all. No redundancy renders your life saving equipment worthless.

But not, by corollary, that two is none.

The Wikipedia page says says she has had default judgments entered against her in the United States for civil offenses. If I am not mistaken extradition requires criminal offenses, and usually only a limited number of offenses are deemed serious enough to be "extraditable". It also requires an extradition treaty. Does her country of residence have an extradition treaty with the United States?

A Nature article some years ago mentioned she has no assets in the United States. The plaintiffs are therefore unlikely to ever collect any of the $15 million in damages.

This apparently worthy Kickstarter is a 10.3" E-ink tablet that's also a functioning Android that also has a drawing surface that also has software to handle annotations and sketches.

I wish this project the best. I will probably purchase one when they become widely available. But I literally cannot imagine how you could launch this for $10K even if the thing were available in close to final form on Alibaba. Just the paperwork, let alone QA, marketing, and software integration and testing, would seem to cost far more than $10,000.

What am I missing? Because if this is credible I would be thrilled to take a product of this caliber to market myself; I could come up with the $10K on my own and not risk others' money.

Not trying to be facetious, nor am I trying to divert a nickel from the Kickstarter. I honestly want to know how to launch an Android of any kind, much less with this kind of hardware interface, for ten thousand bucks.
