"I can live with that because if you do it right it does not impact end user latency."

The vast majority of GC use does not impact end user latency. Thinking otherwise is either the availability heuristic at work, or you work in AAA videogames or another ultra-high-real-time-performance industry and don't realize you're not in the center of programming work, you're on an extreme. (A perfectly valid and sizeable extreme.)

This may also be why you don't feel restricted; if you happen to work in any of the many places where a tree of references is adequate, you'll find Rust-style management to be a treat. If you work pervasively with graph structures in the core of your program, though, the experience can change. Pervasively-graph-type-structures are generally just a question of how you want your automated garbage collection to work, because I'm pretty sure getting the manual management correct otherwise is effectively impossible without an algorithm that's going to look a lot like a GC.

That said, despite my disagreement, I also disagree with the people who, as of this writing, have downvoted your comment into grey. I feel like I've been seeing a burst of "downvote as disagreement" in the past couple of weeks.

The development experience with flutter is great, that's right. But I don't like the end result. It feels very close to a native app but still not 100%. And I think it will always be a step behind.

One benefit of kotlin mpp compared to xmarine is, that kotlin mpp is not limited to iOS/Android. You can have a shared code base between web frontend/Backend/iOS/android and even macos/windows/linux and all native. One language to rule them all.

Avoiding cycles and thinking about ownership is not programming carefully, it's merely programming. Really, manual memory management is not rocket science folks, just error prone. And RAII is reliable to the point that anyone that is capable of writing software can wield it.
> The role of street trees in the urban carbon cycle is complex as the environmental costs and benefits of street trees evolve over the course of a tree’s life, with emissions associated with establishment often precluding net greenhouse gas benefits in the early stages of a street tree’s life cycle. The carbon costs associated with nursery production, planting, irrigation, pruning, removal, and disposal are high. Street trees must survive for several decades (26–33 years) to attain carbon neutrality.

That's much longer than I would have expected.

Nobody disagrees that this is what you have to do in PayPal's current state. The debate is to whether you should have to do it, or whether, given that it walks and talks like a bank, PayPal should nationally and globally be treated as a bank.
How does that protect against them erroneously withdrawing large sums from your account and hitting you with overdraft or repeated NSF fees?
60 frames per second is because (in the USA) electricity suppliers standardised on 60Hz mains frequency, and in the early days of TV it was easiest to make the refresh rate match the mains supply.

The problem with those criteria is we would need to ask at what stage are we going to call water an addiction? It also fufills those details.
Really just because it can be classified as an addiction doesn't mean it should.

The real criteria of concern is "does it cause problems /in this case/".

Otherwise you end up with a hysterical neo-puritanism of trying to create a perfect life by excision of all vices.
Sad to hear that about Non-US card owners. In the US, I've had just the opposite experience. E.g., with AmEx, I had suspicious charges and before I even finished the description the agent interrupted me and said the charge and my card were both already cancelled and new card w/new numbers was already on the way via FedEx.

I'm not quite sure what pattern the agent recognized, but she sure didn't like it and they weren't going to put up with it for a second. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be in their interest to be this vigilant globally...

More and more people don't have Facebook or have stopped using it; so, you shouldn't go with just Facebook. The subset that don't have one of the three you used is smaller; so, are you willing to risk users who don't have or don't use them?

Personally, while I have Google account, I do not have a Facebook account; but, I don't log in with it anywhere, other than Gmail.
> but what about deaths in uranium mining and processing

Modern Uranium mining is basically pin-point mining mostly done by machines. And even without that, Uranium is so energy dense that you don't actually have to mine much. Every other energy source also has lots of mining simply because you need lots more of normal metals.

Think about the absurd amount of mining required for wind miles.

The same for processing, those are very highly advanced modern processes that are pretty strictly on safety.

There are very few deaths from either.

> One confounding factor in this data is the low numbers of large-scale accidents for nuclear power.

The only ever large-scale accident (in terms of people) for nuclear power is Chernobyl and if you look at the long term death we are talking around 4000 who die earlier and maybe 50 who died faster and that is one event 40 years ago.

Other then that there have been basically 0 deaths from radiation from civilian power nuclear accidents. In reality Chernobyl was a military reactor and shouln't even be included in the first place.

> or if Fukushima happened faster

I'm not sure what you are talking about here. It seems that you assume that evacuation saved people? That is totally wrong. Actually a far larger number of people died during the evacuation that were actually endangered by the radiation.
The reason I don't use virtual credit cards is because they tend to not protect you from first party fraud, only third party fraud.

Despite what the banks claim, they usually will NOT prevent recurring payments from being honored. Even if you don't have enough money in your account. (The bank will just collect it from you)

I used to use a service called Entropay, which would actually let you pre-pay money into a disposable virtual credit card. But banks would never let you do that, because it would undermine their own system.

90% of the problems that I have had over the last ten years have not been with credit card info being stolen, but with misleading or outright fraudulent behavior by merchants, and BoA virtual credit cards have all of the exact same problems as real credit cards and will do nothing to protect you.

You will still have to always keep an eye out that 90 days later you aren't charged again for the same thing. And you are still on the hook for charges made by the merchant you paid, and it is up to you to dispute any charges through the same process as with a regular credit card.

What I want, is to give a merchant a credit card number, pre load that number with $30, have them charge it, and then be completely done with it. This especially makes sense for low stakes low cost recurring monthly payments. I should just be able to stop paying a $5/month fax service that I never use, and have them terminate my service. Banks would never let you do that. Services that used to let you do that have been mostly shut down.

I understand that I may be technically agreeing to pay each month with recurring payments, but the onus should be on the provider to stop servicing me if I cannot come up with the money. The system that we have today for recurring payments makes no sense.

I simply want to be in control of how much money gets taken from me. It is the same reason I take bills out of my wallet to pay a clerk at a store, and do not simply hand them my wallet and ask them to take the money out. I don't care if I can call the bank and dispute things with them, I want to be the one to dole out the money for the transaction.

And I haven't tested this, but apparently if some scummy vpn service you did a 30 day trial with a few months ago claims you owe them, and you miss the window to dispute it, or the bank sides with the merchant, the bank is obligated to go after your money from other accounts.

No thanks.

I’ve spent 12 years on HN and have read countless threads from users I’ve followed for many years.

This up/down voting mechanism is just another system of censorship and it has gotten worse on HN and you see the restraint exercised in comments. Anyone can spot articles that are “safe” to comment on and articles that are not (from the perspective of sharing views that do not jive with the HN majority and being downvoted into oblivion). I made a conscience decision not to let that bother or deter me. I try to balance that with my attempt to not troll and try to be constructive if a choose to post.

The bias that NYT has here to destroy Facebook is evident to anyone who takes a moment to think about it. Their entire business model has been upended because they no longer control distribution, FB does. How can we form thoughtful / well balanced opinions based on these one-sided pieces? We can’t. Alas, who cares.

Because this will likely open the floodgates. If sugar is an addiction, then maybe all food is an addiction, and from there lots of normal behavior can be considered an addiction so the term becomes meaningless.

I agree that sugar and food in general consumed in excess should probably be considered an addiction, but I can respect the argument for not watering down the term.

It seems unlikely to me that there is no coordination between left wing media institutions. They say the same things at the same time using the same language. I don't read much right-wing media.

I'm not saying there's a shadowy conspiracy (though I'm not ruling out people talking about "messaging" via email). It may be that they read each other's stuff and the demands of the 24 hour news cycle dictate that there's a certain amount of cross pollination and regurgitation.

> For what it’s worth- people don’t get into working for the media because it pays really well. Not usually anyway. So in that way I’d rule out wealth as a primary motivating factor to sacrificing one’s principles in that business.

Another perspective on this, courtesy of Noam Chomsky in conversation with a journalist: "I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that if you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting here."

> Over the past 100 years there have been many times where North American governments have attempted to rule over the press. That never went well for them (save the inception of Fox News).

I think it's unknown to what degree American intelligence agencies influence the media but I'm willing to bet it's "more than not at all". It may be relatively benign stuff ("Don't use the term 'Islamic terrorism,' Al Qaeda uses that stuff to propagandize") or it may be not so benign.

I agree with the original poster. It's absurd that the left-wing media has been agitating for censorship of "hate" and then complaining when "evidence of war crimes" is deleted. There's been shockingly little mainstream questioning of just how quixotic it is to try to "remove hate".

I'm fairly concerned about the move toward censorship by internet platforms. The only way tech companies can realistically do this is with algorithms. Lots of people seem to think it's a given that these companies can algorithmically remove "hateful things". No one seems to be saying that rules and laws need to have precedent in order to be intelligible. For example, in the US, there are incitement laws but what actually constitutes "incitement of imminent lawless action" is something that has been defined in the courtroom. You can't just say "delete hate" without precisely defining hate. It's a blank check.

I find censorship via algorithms extremely scary. There will be false positives and false negatives and there is absolutely zero recourse. Censorship by algorithms is a perfect expression of bureaucracy. In perfect bureaucracies, responsibilty is spread so thinly that it's impossible to determine who is responsible for a mistake. With algorithms, there's actually no human on the hook at all. Are you going to blame the programmers?

By all means, use machine learning to flag posts so humans can look at them. But automating the removal of content and the banning of human users is a road I strongly suspect we will regret going down. If the volume of content is sufficient so that you need to use algorithms to remove human-generated content then I'd say it's time to reconsider whether that content should be removed at all.

> Don't rely on PayPal.

Don't rely on any single point of failure. Don't kid yourself. No payment processor is your friend, and if you think that, you're a fool. Have multiple payment processors, and be prepared for bad things happening. The reasoning isn't as simple as PayPal or Stripe are out to get you. Rather, there are many banks and many laws, both in your home country and internationally that can affect your business. And in the end, they won't risk their business for you, no matter how fair or unfair it is.
I agree with "anti-inheritance" as a general guideline, but its adherents have to recognize the significant practical upsides of inheritance in many situations.

Imagine you have an interface with 20+ methods, such as the List interface. And you want to create a new implementation of this interface, which is almost identical to an existing implementation, except for one tiny difference. Example, you want an CustomArrayList implementation that doesn't allow the number 666 to be populated into the list.

With inheritance, you can accomplish this in just a few lines of code. Extend the existing implementation, and override just the methods that need to be overridden.

Whereas with composition, you now need to manually implement all 20+ methods in the interface, just to make the pass-through call. This adds a tremendous amount of boilerplate to the code.

Depending on how many methods are in the interface and how invasive the changes are, this boilerplate is sometimes worth it and sometimes not worth it. Ideally, languages will add built-in support to facilitate this pattern without the associated verbosity. But until then, people will continue to use inheritance just because of how much less verbose it is.
It's not really about the RTL-SDR.

The person who was arrested was using the device to probe stuff that the Tunisian government doesn't want to be made known. If he had been using binoculars and a notebook at the airport, he would have been arrested too.

They were watching him, knew what he was doing there, and used whatever pretext was at hand to arrest him upon arrival (which suggests he had been there before).
Let's not forgot social media platforms did organize an Egyptian revolt. When there have been natural disasters or terrorist attacks, Facebook has sent notifications to people's friends telling them they are ok. Also, tons of small brands now can exist due to Facebook and Instagram, and these companies can now do so from any location in the country or world.

Facebook is a very metrics driven company, and privacy has been a remote concern for the company. I think they have dug their own grave if they even want to venture into finance or healthcare like Apple is doing. I would not trust Facebook with my health records or bank account. But, Instagram is great for finding vacation ideas and spotting new products or trends. Twitter IMO now often is a much better source of information than the NYTimes. Also, let's not forgot the NYTimes has its own axe to grind here.

Could it be the case that Tunisia didn't grant his ingress as a diplomat they knew would be investigating their non-compliance with sanctions, he went and did the investigation anyway, and Tunisia now consider this to be a violation of that non-consent?
I don't know for others but personally, I think it's pure hysteria and scapegoating. If you don't like Facebook, don't use it. I don't think private property should be forcibly removed away because it is the current news cycle ennemy-of-the-day. The standards for overruling consent should be extremely high - if they should exist at all.

I got fed up with Facebook a while ago and deleted my account. No problem. If Facebook has influence it is because people voluntarily chose to give it to them.
