What exactly does 'politics' mean in this case? Any concerns that aren't related to code? Can you define it in simple terms that leaves no gray areas?

Completely anonymous systems leads to abuse. This has been demonstrated over and over again.

The most insidious kinds of racism do not involve burning crosses. Obviously just flashing the ok-sign doesn't make you a racist. But society has clearly demonstrated that we are perfectly willing to tolerate the more subtle instances of racism for many reasons. In an environment like that, it's no surprise that the targets of that behavior become incredibly suspicious and distrusting.

The way to solve that problem is not to "leave politics out of it" or to complain that they are too sensitive. The way to solve that problem is to address the underlying problem.
Tracking is the worst part of ad-tech. Ads can be annoying or entertaining, marketers will keep making them. Brave's opt-in ads use no tracking, match ads locally based on data generated in any browser, kept in cleartext only on your device. Matching is against a catalog that's the same for all users in a large population who speak the same language. Confirmation of views/clicks uses a protocol based on privacy pass (Chaum blind signature cryptography).

The problem with tracking ad-tech is the sum of the massive conflicts of interest it creates: advertiser vs. user vs. intermediary vs. publisher. Brave aligns with users first by paying them 70% of the user ad revenue, with publishers who partner with us who get 70% while the user gets 15% (so 1/ we pay 70% to owner of ad slot; 2/ we always pay user >= what we take). We then help users support creators, anonymously and easily, not only website publishers but especially youtubers and others. See https://batgrowth.com/ and sign up -- we pay $5USD in BAT per new 30+ day user you refer. https://brave.com/refer

By aligning with users first, we are confident great creators will do well as their users support them with automated contributions, pinned subscriptions, and tips. Who loses? The ad-tech intermediaries we block. You already give your data to your browser. Don't let it be a blind slave of the middlemen. They are not needed.
> Although that may be standard thinking in some circles, in reality there are clearly areas where more money would lead to far more goods and services, making everyone in the area richer.

Finance exists to do this. If it's a good investment, compared to the alternatives, money will be routed to it (and away from alternatives).

Your government spending examples are examples where the government made "good" decisions, but it's equivalent to cherry-picking. For example, the U.S. government spends more on healthcare per capita than any other country, yet our healthcare is worse than most countries, AND patients still get bankrupted. The U.S. government indirectly financed the higher education bubble that has allowed college administrators to make out like bandits, AND students are still in massive debt. Government spending is an inherently vicious process because it overrides individuals' own economic judgement about how to deploy their resources and replaces it with authoritarian central "planning."

Also, most of your examples (maybe all) are defense projects. I think defense is a legitimate part of the government and the DoD can make pretty good judgement calls when they have a reasonable and limited amount of funding. But should they have gotten trillions to punish Iraq and Afghanistan for something done by the Saudis? No. We can see government spending in the U.S. becoming increasingly more catastrophic and wasteful over time because that is the nature of an inherently vicious process.
A lot of the research about shooters can be based on their manifestos/writings, and many shooters have shown interest in previous shooters and coverage of them, so that's probably where a lot of this could be drawn from.
Could one say, in a sense, that recurrence is essentially differential equations and convolution essentially more complicated operations than those of arithmetic polynomials?

This might sound like nonsense. On the one hand, most trivial convolutions use trivial operators; "polynomials" might include higher operations anyhow, or approximate some of the more important ones, none of which is appealing if simplicity equals efficiency. On the other hand, I never really understood diff-eqs; ODEs seem like polynomials over self similar polynomials, to me, hence "recurrent"; All the other diff-eqs I can't begin to fathom.

I find the US colleges to be "clubs" with lots of alumni support. I haven't watch NFL in a while, but for some reason pros who have been in NFL for 10 years still say which college they went to. I think this motivates people to pay extremely high fees to get into the club.

Whereas in Canada, like you said, "if she or he applies to them all, will likely get into one". And in 10 years nobody cares where you went school. Oddly more of a meritocracy than in the US, which you wouldn't expect in a more socialist Canadian system.

Of course, we do not replace ads without publishers as paid partners. That would be wrong, also legally unsound whether you think it wrong or not. Thanks for pointing this out.
I understand that feeling for sure! One of the common coping strategies (this is a real strategy) my doctors have tried with me is: "Think about how others are in worse situations".

But for me that made me feel worse. I'm financially stable, decently intelligent, have been given a great start at life, etc. yet I can't go to the grocery store without having a panic attack? How pathetic is that? On paper I should have nothing to complain about - but the depression SAID NO.

So I definitely understand how you feel. It's kinda like how if you just broke up with somebody serious, watching a makeout scene in a movie would just suck.

That's an excellent point about freezing. And we certainly do keep the freezer stocked to the brim with frozen options.

Like you alluded to the biggest challenge is the taste factor. Eating veggies over junk food is already enough of an uphill battle willpower wise. Especially with kids in the house. Combined with the inconvenience of dethawing, they're just not that popular.

I wish American super-markets would stock a wider range of fermented vegetables. In terms of long-term preservation, I find fermentation to be more appealing than freezing for most cases. Frozen veggies typically just taste like a flatter version of their fresh counterparts. Whereas fermented veggies have a unique taste that's appealing all on its own.

I vaguely recall DrRacket had a scrolling repaint performance bug on OS X within the last year or so. If whatever problem you saw is not already fixed, you might file a bug report on it.

Anyway, DrRacket is mainly an educational IDE, for students who've possibly never written a line of code before. You could see its defaulting to memory-limiting sandboxing as a good thing for intro programming students. (I usually use Emacs, though I do sometimes use DrRacket, for quick tasks, and when I want to use the Macro Stepper.)

I don't know whether the new-ish Jupyter kernel for Racket supports images, but that might be something to look at.

There are also several other good Scheme implementations/variants. Racket has been my favorite, but I'm moving back to building atop RnRS, as unpaid time permits.

The only way we us a society can make progress is by critically analyzing our beliefs and biases and correcting them.

The implicit assumption in your statement appears to be that constitutional amendments are invalid/ineffective. But that's far from the truth as its a man made artifact and reflects the beliefs and biases of its times which may or may not hold true in the present.
Not sure why you're flaming OP repeatedly, Lewandowski's actions aren't remotely in the same moral sphere as merely working in the same area as you always have.

It's disturbing to see people whose job it is to inform instead playing games with judging based on tortured analogies. That's what one expects from a freshmen in a mandatory English or philosophy course, not a national publication's longdorm writer.

Snapchat proves you wrong. ;)

People are playful and I can imagine that a remote settings is akin to some sort of playful roleplaying setting. So you build your avatar around your remote workstyle - can be funny in a setting where every one knows his peers.

This is similar to workplace settings: casual/avatar if you are not facing customers, formal/no-avatar if you face customers.

Could be cool to see, what happens in the future. Even iPhone supports those live emoji face masks.
Your definition of free is correct, so it's fair to briefly point out that health care is not actually free in Canada. On the other hand, everybody knows that, including the person using the word "free". So over-focusing on the word is a form of nitpicking IMHO.

People often use the word "free" to mean - I can use this service without even thinking about money.

As everyone on HN will tell you... Google and Facebook's services are not free (you're just paying in a different way) but they're commonly described as "free" services.

So.. you're both right.
The concept of a compass not pointing to True North was something I struggled with at first when learning orienteering because I had assumed north meant north. The reality is that you have a Grid North, Magnetic North and True North.

That said, orienteering is one of the most valuable skills I think a person can learn but it can be hard to grasp learning solo. For those not familiar there are really two ways to go about it:
- Dead Reckoning
- Terrain Association

Dead Reckoning is all about planning waypoints and using your compass and pace count to get you there. For example: I need to walk 5km at 220° then 2km at 90°, etc.

On top of that, it's easy to make simple mistakes when planning your route. Errors when converting from grid to magnetic(and visa versa) can put you off by a few grid squares so it's important to understand terrain association which is a technique of studying the terrain on a map, plan a route and use those visual terrain features to guide you(If the river is supposed to be on your left but it's on your right, something is wrong).

Having both techniques in your back pocket are essential, but like any skill, they're perishable so you have to practice often.

Some key mistakes people tend to make when orienteering:
- When you're dead reckoning through the forest, make sure you switch which side you favor. For example, if your compass points directly at a tree do you step to the right of it to go around or to the left? Most people will pick their dominant side and tend to veer to the right over time. This won't be corrected by staying on a specific azimuth.
- Night time is challenging when orienteering in a forest with no roads/creeks/etc to handrail. You often can't see more than 10-20 meters and there's no terrain for you to associate with.
- After you plan your waypoints out, do it again from scratch. You likely made a mistake. The protractor you used to get your heading represents your grid angle, every map will have a GM Adjustment(grid to magnetic) you'll need to make.

That's a terrific summary. Thank you. I'm predicting a dip based on acceleration versus any real additive effect. I could certainly be wrong but the stats would be enlightening.
> I know that some people want the entire internet, every git repo, every docker image, every game/binary asset, and every needed dependency available locally, but this is just not reasonable.

Sure it is. In most Enterprise outfits its even policy. Ask yourself why that is.

I don't mean to be flippant about it, your point is actually quite reasonable. If you are a solo developer, or a small company, then don't worry about it. Github will be up, Google proxy will have your back, your Net connection will work. Once per year when all the stars align just wrong your builds might get delayed but it isn't worth worrying about it.

However in certain industries if the delay during some incident is costing you more then a few digits per minute, even once per year, management starts to notice. Long term support contracts are also a thing, e.g. ensuring that your code still has the artifacts to build on Red Hat 5 or some such. If you think about it that's nothing but outsourcing vendoring to a third party for large amounts of money.
I suspect the reasons for increased c-sections are manifold.

When we medicalise pregnancy and childbirth, then fill hospitals with profit driven policy, and surgeons who fear malpractice accusations, is it any wonder c-sections can become over used?

Fear of malpractice alone can’t explain it all, as it some other lawyer could demonstrate c-sections are over used and lead to complications.

if the concrete implementation of trying to get money is unwanted and unexpected

Every method of funding open source either doesn't work or is unwanted, so arguments like "get paid, just not this way" are disingenuous. When that guy tries a different approach instead of ads, people will be attacking him just as much.

It's time to move the discussion on to "all possible funding methods are unpalatable, so what's the least bad method?"
> Is it's actually tricking the JIT itself into allowing OOB access, or is it actually OOB'ing the JIT?

What's the difference between the two? Many JavaScript exploits abuse the interaction between strange features of the language to get around bounds checks (often, because a length was checked but invalidated by later JavaScript executing in an unexpected way, or a bound not forseen as needing a check) leading to an out-of-bounds. And I'm assuming many of these are heap corruptions where someone messes with a length that lets them get out-of-bounds.

The openness means it is accessible by academics, who are lately working hard on proving formal correctness of the spec, which we don't have for commercial designs.

It is unfortunate that they froze the base instruction set before people who understand performance optimization got a good look at it. But, ultimately, if the instruction density is no worse than Intel's, it won't be handicapped by that until something else comes along. When that happens, it will make the transition to the next easier.

We already don’t have a surplus in payroll taxes, and will in a decade or two run out of the money already lent to the general fund. Still, that money has already been allocated and Americans have been paying for it specifically. If congress meant otherwise, they should have included it as a benefit paid for via taxes, but they didn’t set t up that way at all.
In the long term, I hope that at least a compromise like the Python annotation approach could be reached (standardize the parsing, but ignore the semantics). Typescript type annotations share a surface level syntax with them in some ways, and also with ES4's type annotation attempt.

"Type maps" are an interesting idea. You could probably piggy back on/boostrap from WASM types.

First of all, their point doesn't depend on Switzerland being in bad shape or not. They're not saying a country's situation solely depends on this, but that it's a factor. There are lots of other factors at play in Switzerland and most any other country.

Second, there usually is another layer in most of the US (and Canada, for that matter) which doesn't exist in Switzerland: the county. I think that's more likely to cause inefficiencies than federalism alone.

Also, I'm not actually sure Switzerland has more bureaucracy. It mostly seems comparable in my experience having lived in both countries. Are there any metrics on this?
Are you at Mozilla? That contract was referenced in a bug long ago. I'm not sure it can be enforced, given how Google's revamped Analytics 360 works.
Let me clarify: the reason that viewpoint is weird to me is that it's essentially political terrorism. A small minority of citizens are essentially saying "we want the law to be this way, and if it isn't, we will murder you". But for some reason we've collectively decided that no, it's actually normal for people to dictate the law under threat of violence.

The other side here is basically just people supporting and voting for the laws they think will improve society, a.k.a. democracy working normally.
I absolutely love the mission of OLPC, and I hate literally every decision they made. I think they sucked all of the oxygen out of the room, and I think Sugar is possibly the worst part.
Also I would like to bring up since JFrog's module proxy, GoCenter was publicly hosted first, they will have more than likely been first to host a module version. That means you are now open to the situation where someone uploaded v1.0 of a module to Go Center, and v1.0 of a module to Google's Mirror, and they contain different code.

I am not sure how the Go team plans to handle this, but the only obvious solution would be for Google's proxy to reach out to GoCenter first to see if they have a copy of a specific version, download and cache, and serve that. Does anyone know if that happens?
There are countries where while they have high suicide rates, guns are largely rare. In Japan they are largely unattainable. On the other hand the 7-11 and Lawson’s has books about “100 ways to do it and not leave a mess for your family”.
You agree that it's an ad, right? (And it's asking for a voluntary donation of 10000 EUR as an alternative, so certainly money is involved.)

"Validity" or "advisability"?

I think the amendment seems fairly clear to me. I, too, disagree that it should be enshrined in the constitution, or even that it should exist as a right in such an unrestricted form. But there's no doubt that it's in there, and we already have a process for changing the constitution.

If I were a Supreme Court justice, I would push to invalidate all laws that limit the ownership and carrying of guns or any armaments by private citizens. This is really the only thing that would force us as a nation to come to some sort of consensus on what the bounds of gun regulation and legislation should be, on a constitutional level.
Ok, I didn't watch it. I described it as "some teen drama series glorifying a girl who commits suicide" whenever the show was mentioned. I advised my kids (who are nearly adult age) that they shouldn't even bother with it (they didn't watch it).

Did it work?

There is far too much momentum behind mass-market media for this nearly passive resistance to be effective. Things like "'13 Reasons Why' linked to 29% increase in in teen suicides 1 month later" have far more impact and are more effective. Public outrage seems to work, for better or worse.
