This belies a belief that science doesn't reflect the real world. It absolutely does.

Again, it may be working in your case. Argument to authority can go a long way. Even ad hom attacks often exist due to a "smell" of the person speaking. It is not, however, logically sound and can easily lead to unsupportable positions.

So, take care. And realize that a lot of the damage of poor practices may be tangential. For example, a belief that the real world can not be described by science.

I'm not sure how you'd reject that flakey test. We're talking <3% so first let's assume that you don't even see the failure until 10 other PRs get merged. Not only do you not know what caused the failure, it could be that the failure is in a test which was in the code for ages but the new code breaks its assumptions / initial environment.

Sometimes you can't just point at one thing and say reject this or revert that without a long investigation.

The point of this site is that there is no composition. Just print, address, and send if you want to snail mail. If that takes you half an hour, I don't know what to tell you.

> And someone at the company will take under a minute to reply to each one, because all they'd need to do is a quick scan of the letter, then send a pre-printed response.

Under a minute to 1) identify the letter and the sender; 2) pull the correct pre-printed response; 3) address and send the response? How does your hypothetical employee do this so much faster than your hypothetical private citizen?
Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948)
That's the narrative the media portrays these days. Couple years ago they were talking about Facebook bringing world peace. It's just writers chasing clicks.
I find a lot of things these days are actually slightly more expensive on eBay. I also see a lot of duplicate listings by the same (or apparently the same) seller with wildly varying prices. I still buy stuff on eBay once in a while, but it's not the place to go anymore for the best deal. And after you're accustomed to 1-2 day shipping from Amazon, waiting a couple weeks for an eBay shipment is a non-starter.
Seems like good advice for adults as well.
Agreed. I think externalities need to be accounted for, but regardless, intentionally using misleading language "for the right cause" is never justified imho.
How to set up a TypeScript monorepo with Lerna

I think it's totally reasonable to judge a road surface based on how effective it is, in practice, with the kinds of traffic that will be travelling on it. Traction control is a part of that landscape. Designing with awareness of syntax highlighting makes sense. But we should also keep an awareness that it won't always be there.
Yes, I read and understood the full article. The thing is that I won't do business with Marketplace sellers -- that place is a snake pit full of badness.

I only buy items from Amazon that are fulfilled by Amazon. If Amazon isn't holding the inventory and fulfilling the order themselves, then I'm not interested. I'll be going to eBay instead.
Yelp is paid by for by their kind of blackmail-heavy abuse of the companies that they list, so the claims that they need to sell user data is kind of nonsense.

The thing about the anti-Facebook sentiment is it seems split between those angry about the things Facebook hasn't stopped and those angry about the things Facebook has stopped. I don't think the later group understands that approach strong enough to shut down Facebook would quickly set it's sights on shutting down or controlling other broad platforms.

One thing that’s important to do in a discussion of regulating Facebook is to separate the conversation from personal evaluations of its founders and managers. A person does not need to be evil or even ill-intentioned to invent something destructive. Paul Müller wasn’t trying to hurt anyone when he discovered the pesticidal properties of DDT, and his Nobel Prize can be considered well-deserved. That shouldn’t stop us from evaluating the invention on its own merit, deciding to regulate or ban it, and doing so without any malice towards Müller, regardless of whether he is on our side or defensive of his invention. The invention is bigger than and separate from the inventor.
"What would be so hard about divided_by_2 = divide_by(, 2)"

Well, first of all, it doesn't work right now, which is a problem for what I was trying to say.

Secondly, if you want to curry things, you'll end up with

four_arg_func(1, 2)(3)(4)

at a bare minimum as a "curried application", where in Haskell it's just

four_arg_func 1 2 3 4

Several Algol languages have other issues, such as dealing with optional arguments: in Python!curryable, is the result of

def f(a, b, c = 10):
return a + b + c

f(1, 2)

a function that accepts one more parameter for c, or the number 13? (Even in a dynamic language you ought to think twice before trying to return some sort of "quantum superposition" of those two things!) You'll need to add some syntax that will specify the answer to that question, and now Python!curryable is getting away from just "incompletely applying the function" as it is in Haskell, but now a Thing you have to Do. (Probably by calling https://docs.python.org/2/library/functools.html#functools.p... .)

Haskell hacks that away by making it so functions take a fixed number of parameters, in a fixed order, and there is no such thing as default parameters to a function. A non-Haskell programmer may feel this is not a trade worth making.

Your closure at the end is what it tends to really look like. You'll note that most non-functional code doesn't really do that sort of thing very often, unless you're unlucky enough to stumble across a codebase written by someone trying to write Haskell-in-Python or something.

It's very telling that you used an obvious strawman like China and didn't see fit to mention Myanmar.

Despite complaints, FB left up numerous pages run by the Myanmar military that spread hate and disinformation against the Rohingya people, of whom thousands have been murdered, and hundreds of thousands have been made refugees. Facebook "eventually" deleted these pages, but well after the damage was done.[0]

Incorrect, that would entail shutting down FBA which they aren't doing.
A hypothetical:

You are driving your car and see that the pickup truck in front of you has an empty cardboard box in it (you can tell its empty by the way its floating around in bed of truck). Suddenly a gust of win picks up the box and it lands directly in front of your car. Its not very big, about 12 inches tall. Do you: (a) Slam on breaks? (b) Roll over it?

Now what will the "AI" in your car do?

Self-driving cars are not coming anytime soon. They are a whole slew of problems that you can intuit solutions to fairly easily, that are still beyond the ability of current tech.
They might, but if so it would be a special exception from their usual policies. In general, deciding who owns a particular domain name is a matter for the corresponding TLD's registry. If NIC.LY decides to seize bit.ly, there's nobody that can declare that illegitimate per se, or force them to give it back. And to quote Wikipedia on the semantics of DV certificates (which are the normal kind):

> What if trash pickup was $20 a bag

Does the term "illegal dumping" sound ominous to you? If you could somehow offset that charge by having a reasonable amount of well sorted and usable recycling then there's a chance it could work, but it's hard to see this not backfiring on the population at large.

Any solution that has to fight against the "people are lazy assholes" truth is going to be difficult to implement, sometimes requiring an entire cultural shift to achieve.

For what it is wroth, I have seen this work to an extent on the small scale. When I was young the county sold our trash service off to a private company. This private company required you to use the bags they provided to pick up the trash. They made these bags a hassle to acquire by only offering them at their office, which was way out in the middle of nowhere and only open one day a week for 4 hours. They were also fairly expensive. We managed, as an American family of 5, to only put out a single bag of trash a week, and this was in an area that didn't have recycling except for a "you bring it" aluminum can place. We did have a compost heap though, which isn't legal in some areas. My parents were very conscious of how much packaging was on anything before they bought it.
Back before chat had pictures there were creepers creeping on the Internet, it's not an artificial sandbox like Disneyland where everything is perfect.
Okay, but human nature goes both ways. There’s all the messed up stuff, and also occasional bouts of doing the right thing, sometimes with a little help from your friends.

I believe the parent commenter is speaking to our “higher nature” for lack of a better term. It’s a bit cynical to assume that this doesn’t exist, and possibly a tad inappropriate to assume that the commenter shares your cynicism and is coming from the same place.
That does not mean that this manual is not subject to ITAR restrictions.
> It's like arguing traffic lights shouldn't use colors to indicate stop-and-go because some people either cannot perceive the color difference or choose to wear glasses that negate the color difference.

There is a reason that we have three separate lights still instead of one (that is, there's more reasons than just inertia), and that's because some people can't tell the color differences. Specifically, my father can't easily tell the color difference between green and yellow. I've had friends that also had this problem. It's not uncommon.

> To completely discount that experience at all would be odd

I'm not saying to discount it entirely, but consider it in context. I think it's a somewhat elitist argument, because it assumes everyone both has syntax highlighting set up and that their highlighting will work as well as yours.

I accept that syntax highlighting helps, and is a positive if it can be applied well to a solution, I just think it's far from sufficient.

Put another way, an optional, environment specific configuration setting is not sufficient to offset the negative aspects of an official language level feature, if we're able to weigh things prior to being implemented.

If Rust were required (or even officially expected) to be written in an environment where that was always available and easily configurable, I would think different. E.g. if we're talking about Visual Basic, or Smalltalk with it's IDE (IIRC, not that I have experience with it), then I would think different, but as long as the Rust compiler is expected to take in files of text and not some rich format that includes extra metadata, I don't think language design choices should weigh non-text considerations too heavily.
Please stop. You're wasting your time.

Are you all shills?

OF COURSE you need to prove causation to win a civil court case. Yes, the burden of proof is less than that of criminal trials (greater than 50% chance vs beyond a reasonable doubt), but correlation does not win in civil courts unless the defense is consists of the 6th grade debate team.

I generally agree having one contact person mitigates the spread of the damage. But it seems like he is asking for feedback partly because he has the role of the gatekeeper himself (at least part of the time if not all of it).

Eventually everyone will hit their limit though, no matter how much support they get, or how well your coping mechanisms are.

Therefore, doesn't it seem useful to find a way to ask clients to behave appropriately/respectfully?

Even if they say "no", at least this opens up clear communication. (ie, if he says "I am _going_ to be jerk, live with it,", then it seems appropriate to openly be protective in return.)

Since the theory isn't really described here, anyone who wants a tad more might look at the Ray Tracing In One Weekend booklet for a touch of the optics math behind depth of field. Chapter 11 derives a defocus blur. http://www.realtimerendering.com/raytracing/Ray%20Tracing%20...

> find the new position, w = v + rndSphere(r).

For anyone wanting control over the look of the defocus blur, also known as the "bokeh", random sphere gives you more samples toward the center than the edges. For a circular aperture, it is slightly better & more correct to sample a disk than to sample a sphere, and slightly faster to converge as well. You can optionally use a hexagon or octagon on the disk if you want to get the look of a film-camera type aperture.
I think what you are finding are eBay sellers dropshipping the items from Amazon directly. So those items will be more expensive since the sellers have to make up the 10% eBay fee. I'm talking about the Amazon sellers that use something like Channel Advisor and are listing the same products on eBay for less. But finding those sellers takes effort in some cases.

I've landed in the top of a dense forest in a glider and survived just fine. (Of course, someone came to get me out of the tree with a kit, so I'm not sure how much that counts as "me surviving a tree crash".)
Amazon is a sprawling complex of market stalls masquerading as a single Costco, while Ebay is a sprawling complex of market stalls that makes no pretensions of being something else.
I actually see those two as fairly different.

Walmart perfected large-scale logistics and built a network of one-stop-shops across America, taking out small mom-and-pop shops along the way.

Amazon set out to be the go-to online shopping platform largely by encouraging small mom-and-pop shops to sell through Amazon. Once the platform was big enough, it started making more sense for Amazon to cannibalize vendors instead of just continuing to let the market grow.

Sure, both companies are large behemoths that do their part to decimate local economies and avoid paying taxes, but their strategies were pretty different, IMO.
I'm not particularly price-sensitive (that is, I'm not going to spend any time or energy finding the lowest possible price for something -- I'll just go with the first reasonable price I see). You may differ on this, and that's totally fair.

However, this:

> And after you're accustomed to 1-2 day shipping from Amazon, waiting a couple weeks for an eBay shipment is a non-starter.

Ignores the fact that (at least for the stuff I buy), you can usually get 2 day shipping from eBay sellers. The only time I have to wait more than a few days when ordering on eBay is if what I'm buying is rare enough that I have to buy from an out-of-country supplier -- and those things are rarely or never found on Amazon anyway.
It sounds like you may be assuming that targeted advertising is the (or the main) reason filter bubbles exist. I claim that there's a more fundamental reason, namely the fact that most people don't like hearing facts or opinions that contradict their worldview.

To be sure, targeted advertising definitely supports filter bubbles, but I contend that even without any targeted advertising, if you give people a choice about what information they consume and a sufficient variety of sources from which to choose, they will end up effectively creating their own filter bubbles.

There are cloth diapers, but they leak more than disposable diapers and cleaning them is less than pleasant.

I have seen diaper services where you put out a bag full of dirty diapers every few days and they drop off fresh ones to replace them. My wife and I looked at them, but in the end they cost roughly twice what we would be spending on disposable diapers. Maybe our calculus would be different if trash pickup was more expensive.
As a fan of Bill Hicks, I'd argue that all advertising is fraudulent.
And yes I have vested interest. My children who I don't want to grow up in a world that is based on hysteria and so I do what I can to teach them not to just be reactive and listen to the media without understanding the underlying data and to make sure they ask the right question.

The right question is to figure out how much humans affect the climate.
Not really. Not having fraud would be a huge competitive advantage, so of course ad companies are investing huge resources into fraud prevention.

That said, the assumption is that advertisers are the victims here. However, in reality ad spending is driven by huge multinational, bureaucratic and dysfunctional companies. For many of these companies the goal is simply to spend the allocated budgets, and forget about sanity and KPI-driven processes. In that sense advertisers and fraudsters are willing accomplices.
