My own parents, alas, are Republicans who frequent Fox News and voted for Trump. They aren't cruel people - they really have a great capacity for compassion. I've spend a lot of time pondering this contradiction.

Here's what I've concluded: fear warps people. When someone ingests a constant stream of fear-pandering from their news sources and their peers, it totally shifts their perception of what's likely or unlikely, which means are worth the ends and which aren't, who to trust and who to distrust. My parents wouldn't feel good about a story like this, but they'd probably see it as an unfortunate but "uncommon" collateral damage of the law and order policies that are "keeping us safe". I think they genuinely believe there are hordes of gang members pressed against the border fences, looking for any chance to cross over and ravage the land, with only the occasional woman or child mixed in.

But nobody is immune to fear. Different groups just find different things to be afraid of. I and many others on this site have had our worldviews stretched by fear of censorship, surveillance, corporate conquest, China. Even if a fact is true, any fear attached to it will compromise a person's ability to reason. Mindfulness is more important than ever in these times of internet-amplified sensationalism.
Answering why is up to you, the builder; differentiation is key to why 0x has created this protocol.

"Tokens" can be a special kind of object which can be "exchanged" for other kinds of objects. It is not always about purchasing or swapping; this interaction can solve many different kinds of coordination problems.

The exchange can create a context around users interacting via various types of tokens, enabling new kinds of services and communities to form. This could lead to enormous value for users.
I cannot upvote this enough. We have long decided what to do with our painful angularjs application with thousands of beginner mistakes due to people learning a framework while using it.

In the end, we were able to partially migrate to angular 4 at the time using ngUpgrade while still using parts of the application in angularjs 1.6. luckily we started looking into typescript beforehand, making it even easier.

It took us 3 months to completely migrate with only a tiny fraction of legacy bundle of code now still running on angularjs until it's being converted

Since then I have done every major upgrade without fears. I wholeheartedly recommend it for medium-large applications (we have around 50k cloc typescript now).

Angular + Typescript keeps us and our frontend saner than before.

One thing I sorely miss is the performance of my manual webpack / angularjs build, with 15seconds initial build and 1-2 seconds incrementals... It's now at least double with the angular cli, but at least fully managed.
Doesn't Open Banking (https://www.openbanking.org.uk) make this sort of middleman unnecessary in the UK?
> This is my biggest fear with the current rise of progressive/socialist interest among young people. All they can see is the free stuff being promised

No. Nobody wants "free stuff." I see this all the time and all I can think is the right-wing media has really succeeded on this point. Are you also afraid of people who want "free roads" and "free police" and "free K-12 education"? What we want is for services like healthcare and education to be provided by the government, as it's clear the market cannot supply those needs in a way that serves everyone.
Absolutely not. It is not nearly so restrictive as moving to a different country. Apple and the App Store is just one option in the massive free market - and a minority option at that.

Drawing a line between the hardware of the iPhone and the software of the App Store is arbitrary. From Apple's point of view, they are one. And there are other options out there if you do not want an iPhone with the App Store.

Complaining that an alternative App Store should be implemented is like complaining that iOS should also be optional. Why is Apple required to implement additional features and give up market share when the are not a monopoly in the first place?

> What makes Buddhism clearly man made whilst christianity is not?

Well, it may just be my ignorance, but I thought Buddists didn't believe in God. I thought it was more a bunch of good philosophies that a man named Buddha came up with. Even the religion itself is named after a man (named Buddha).
True, you can also do it with more mature frameworks such as Rails/MVC Core/Django etc.

I don’t have experience with Angular Universal, I do with Nuxt (Vue SSR) and it was great, but frustrating to work with as things got more complex.
Uh, yes it does! Economics and policy is all about making (often hard) decisions. Low energy costs have enabled us to make huge economics advances, enabling me to use the computer I'm typing this on.

And as promising as renewables are, they still cannot fully replace baseline energy sources (such as coal or nuclear), nor modulate their output to comply with variances in grid demand (batteries, physical or otherwise, would still need to be accounted for in any fair comparison).
> If you don't have axiomatic beliefs, then where do your beliefs come from? Some abstract feeling? Whatever "feels" right?

The answer to your first question is "oftentimes, yes" to the second two.

There is this pervasive myth held by people who tend to gravitate towards "functional" fields like ours--that is, technology, math, the logical sciences, and so on--that the human existence can be distilled into a series of logical statements that can be evaluated at different times and, given the same inputs, will always produce the same outputs. (It's the same origin as the myth of the "perfectly rational actor" in economic systems that makes a lot of assumptions that are invalid in the context of how people truly function.) This myth misses a key thing about humans: thinking animals are not computers.

What feels right or what beliefs someone holds can and usually do change over time as someone's existence progresses and new experiences are had. This is where some of our greatest benefits, like the ability to experience art in new and different ways depending on the context or situation or even just our mood, and some of our greatest tragedies, like holding one set of people to be negatively different based on an arbitrary criteria, originate. Saying that if someone's beliefs can't be reduced to "code" causes them to be invalid is against the human condition.
Great questions!

First question is about decentralization. What is off-chain relay in this case? Is that a centralized part of the system? Are there centralized parts of the system?

Off-chain relay is how parties find each other facilitate a trade. As a maker, I can create an order off-chain, but I still need to find a relevant taker who is interested in filling the order by sending it to the 0x smart contracts on-chain. Relayers pool together these off-chain orders and serve them up through a website, so that it's easy to find people to trade with. Note that this process is optional -- you can still trade peer-to-peer if I send you the order over email, SMS, etc. While relaying is centralized, relayers are non-custodial, so your funds are never at risk. We also have plans to make some parts of relaying less centralized in the future through 0x Mesh: https://blog.0xproject.com/0x-roadmap-2019-part-3-networked-...

Can this be used to implement more robust margin trading?

As for margin trading, yes, you can trade dY/dX tokens on 0x relayers, or combine 0x orders with any on-chain lending protocol such as Dharma or MakerDAO to get leverage.

What settlement speeds can be expected?

All trades currently settle on-chain, so the Ethereum block time is our bottleneck. Look for some updates on this near future :)
Homeschooling seems like an ideal solution for those with a parent at home to improve their children's academic learning. But it's concerning that those actively involved parents are removed from the public school system.

If I was plaid, I would use things like open banking if it's available, because it cost less to implement and maintain than the current html scraping norm we have now.

I'm guessing plaid uses oauth & open banking when available, and falls back to scraping when it's not.
I think there are a lot of people, like myself, who see that the path to responsible power generation includes nuclear power. I'm all for solar and wind although, I don't see the current manufacturing, logistics, and economic environment supporting a full transition. If new nuclear is done correctly, a big if, we can take leaps towards reducing CO2 emissions versus small drawn out steps.
It was in one of the Seattle Times articles about it after the LA crash. I've never seen it since, although if you read the sequence of events it's pretty clear that's the case, as the pilots had been overriding the MCAS commands with the trim switches.

> I do not accept the implication that if such a course of action existed, there is nothing to be concerned about.

I did not suggest that. Nearly all crashes are the result of a string of failures, including these crashes, and each point needs to be corrected.

> and those skills certainly are not helped by withholding information about aircraft systems.

After the LA crash, that was no longer the case. I reiterate that my information comes from the newspaper. If I was a MAX pilot you bet I'd be much more diligent in finding things out, if only just to save my own hide.

I further find it very strange that after the prior LA flight successfully dealt with the MCAS failure, that the airplane was still deemed flight-worthy and nobody even bothered to inform the next flight crew?

There's plenty of failure that needs to be dealt with all around with those accidents.
Having spent a fair chunk of my career dealing with search, I went down that list nodding in agreement to nearly every single bullet point save for about 10...

An Optical Character Recognition Pipeline Implementation from Scratch
When I got fed up with the way the OS handled writes 15 years ago in one of my (ordinary) applications, I wrote to a temp file in the same directory, closed the file, did the atomic filename swap, and then verified the integrity of the new file under new name by opening it again and comparing it byte for byte to the content to be stored. Only after that did the operation succeed. On failure, the file names were swapped again and an error was signaled to the user. The temp file remained on disk to avoid further data loss.

I suppose that's not fast enough for a DB.
Well the good thing about a marketplace is that when you act poorly at one business, you can still visit another one.

Uber isn't and shouldn't be the only option available to people. The laws that force every company to offer everything to everyone without question are almost always the markets with only one option.

All you're left with is a pseudo-market that offers few of the benefits of real private or public markets. A pretend public service with even less accountability and fewer people profiting from the industry.

True, this is a US example (although I was surprised by how many European cities have competing private transit systems). But I stand by my point that prescribing people's needs robs them of important choices.
I didn't realize that people live in bubbles and are completely unaware of the outside world.

Colleges are there to create educated people in specific fields of study. If a student wants to learn more about the outside world, there are more than enough on-campus resources available that they are able to take advantage of, and students are certainly informed from the start regarding how they should acquire that information. Any student handbook would have plenty of information about what's available.

Just because students are lazy and not motivated to learn beyond what gets them a letter grade doesn't mean that the information isn't available to them.
It would not be inflationary - inflation is a monetary phenomenon - not a fiscal one. Wages might go up, which results in higher prices, but that is not the same thing as inflation (which is a GENERAL increase in prices and fall in the purchasing power of money).
> I am curious how much something like a new green deal would move the 2100 temperature line

The Green New Deal ( at least in the USofA ) is a resolution, not a law or spending appropriation, and contains no action items. It’s a feel-good set of “Rah! Rah! We should do <something>.” And as such, I do not see it moving the line at all.

SQLAlchemy-core is not an ORM either, the ORM is based on it.

You can already write raw sql with it in a separate file if needed, and make a function out of it. I can't see a benefit to adding PugSQL on top of it, unless you plan to use the SQL from several languages.

Other than that, what will happen is that you will end up writing abstraction layers on top of it anyway. Gotta validate those data. Gotta provide a unified API to the rest of the program. And you will rewrite a poorly tested, less expressive sqlalchemy-core.

Not to mention you lose the benefit of being able to create a lib that can talk to several databases, code completion, linting, etc. That are much better in Python than SQL.

So, on one hand: full power of SQL if needed, plenty of additional features when not. On the other hand... what ?
I don't think you understand house brands.

A house brand is just a white-label product sold with minimal marketing other than shelf space in a store. The difference between a house brand and a branded products is marketing spend.

General Mills, for example, supplies most of the store-branded cereal products alongside its own, more-expensive/heavily marketed brands. Most US liquor is supplied by the same handful of distilleries, and most "craft" liquor is actually just the same stuff with a different label.

Amazon, for example, has more than 100 house brands. But you wouldn't know what they are...since Amazon doesn't advertise them anywhere except on their own website. And they definitely don't have better recognition or outsell their branded counterparts. (Raise your hand if you've purchased a Nike product in the last few years. Now raise your hand if you've ever purchased a Peak Velocity product?)

So far as the original message seemed to be saying, it isn't about the uBlock Origins of the world, well behaved, highly performant code. They don't hurt end users. It's the badly written add-ons that they're trying to eliminate.

Given what they're breaking by their chosen mechanism, I would have thought educating end users would be the better approach. The running Chrome instance would be able to tell that an add-on is a large source of blocking, and could easily pop up a warning to indicate such, complete with a one-click option to disable the add-on.
I had the opposite problem. My BBS had a dedicated line but was only open during the day because my dad didn't want me to keep the computers on overnight.

Dear Kara Swisher: Don't Let Your Hatred of Facebook Destroy Free Speech Online
I'm willing to buy into this concept, but the phrasing is way off.

The words "may only exist because" is ridiculously presumptive and egocentric, as if to connote that there's some sort of defeat or induced and undeserved subordination to the idea. Like, "oh, how disappointing that mushrroms and yeast get to take all the credit" even though we've known all along that plants and animals weren't the originators of life, according to the heterotroph hypothesis.

So, it's more like: "Fungi may have been the spring board to complex life AS WE KNOW IT."

It's not some sad revelation. If anything, it's just one more fact in the cryptic mystery of an already strange origin story.
There isn't true competition in the US's healthcare system.

Could very well argue that it's not possible because you can't shop treatment for a heart attack to get the best price, but I can say with confidence that trying to keep costs down for prenatal/labor/delivery was unlike any other buying experience I've had.

Lasik is a good example of how a less-regulated medical procedure got more cost-competitive over time, but again, it's elective. https://surgerycenterok.com/ is an example of a place that's at least doing flat, visible pricing, which shouldn't be a revelation in a market-based system, but is.
One huge factor that could help students enter the workforce without crippling debt would be to expand the scholarship counselling programs available at the high school level. Perhaps state governments could set aside funding for more guidance counselling, or even funds aimed at training existing guidance counsellors to better aid motivated students towards plentiful scholarship funding that often goes unclaimed.

My question is: Why are you trying to use RSA at all?

Is that serious, or are you joking? I'm having a hard time deciding.

First, the land that's being covered is mostly a desert, where no one wanted to live anyway.

Second, it's being covered in solar panels so that we can generate electricity without emitting CO2, which is rather important given that our planet will be turning mostly to desert in the next 30-50 years.
