Joint Statement on Advancing Responsible State Behavior in Cyberspace
Why is it easier to buy juul pods than a pack of cigarettes?

And I'm not aware of any place in the states you need to be over 18 to buy a lighter - and as a former dumbass teenager, I don't think kids have difficulty in figuring out how to light things on fire.

Discretion makes sense, but I feel like rationalizing an irrational decision here. Wouldn't it be more discrete not to vape?
Is there still a market for these kind of low-tech ad buys these days?

Yes, but often you have to contact the web site directly.

I wouldn't be surprised if some of the non-Google ad companies like Exponential will do this, too. They did it before Google existed. They might still have that ability.

I think if the next few years are going to be entertaining. At the moment a handful of shitty companies are abusing their ability to track users - but for me (and I think for many non profit-affected nerds) the outcome seems clear: ANY AND ALL third-party script have to go.

Even when that means losing all the third-party goodness (CDNs, analytics, cloud providers...) that we've come to depend on. Yep, they save an uncountable amount of time and effort - but at the cost of tracking users' every step... We can't have one without the other!
You have a good point. I agree that there should not be retaliation for raising issues. But I think it is also important to realise that when an investigation has taken place, and the conclusion is that nothing can be done about it given lack of evidence, going against the company is not the right approach either. In the quotes that I provided, the only case of retaliation was really a warning to stop after a lot of people looked into the accusation.
The Senate is largely tilted towards rural areas, and hence Republicans. This provides a pretty natural check on the spending ambitions of Democratic presidents, except in rare circumstances. No such check exists for Republican presidents, which is why our deficits are soaring despite the current record economic expansion. Take that into account when you vote.

I wasn't serious either, more sarcastic than anything else.

>Do you mean yourself or do you mean thelazydogsback ?

Myself.

>Depends which other systems were actually available where you were working.

Diff is from the 70s and by the time Smalltalk existed had been ported to everything under the sun. Having done both I really prefer making text files the canonical copy.

>Wasn't the problem insufficient installed memory?

For the most part. That's sort of my point, more than a meg was crazy town, and systems went to crazy lengths to accommodate that.

Moore's Law applies to memory, there's a transistor on each DRAM bit (and technically a capacitor, but DRAM these days relies on the parasitic capacitance of the transistor, so these days DRAM is just a sea of transistoslrs for the most part).
Jesus did not take away my suffering. I asked him three times, and three times he said no. He said his grace is sufficient for me, because his power is made perfect in my weakness. I now understand why Jesus said no. Because he did not come to take away suffering, but to teach us how to endure it without failing ourselves or others.
Recreating the wheel with many less features. React is an abstraction of the view layer that's able render to multiple platforms (DOM, iOS, Android, Windows).

These "anti-React" and "web is too complex" articles are common.

It takes 1 command to generate a React project, all the configuration is done for you. This includes code-splitting where it generates a small runtime. The other chunks in the bundle are pretty small. Most of the dependencies are just for development.

React components themselves are easy to write and they don't lock you in to just the web.

It really isn't killing kids, and I would challenge that they are 'targeting them'. As an adult vape user, I love the fruit flavors. They are for my (adult) use only. I would never let someone under 21 get access to this. Why should I be penalized because lots of kids are breaking the law?

The recent (adult) deaths from Vaping are due to black market THC cartridges filled with vitamin e acetate. It is very likely the kids are obtaining (safe) retail product, which is a failure in retail process, not the manufacturer. While it is a bad thing that school aged children are illegal acquiring Juul -- how is this different (or even worse) than Alcohol? We should investigate alcohol vendors for making tasty beverages too. Can't have flavors that adults might like...

There is a combination of events occurring simultaneously that is making it hard for folks to objectively understand the problem, and if there is actually a problem at all.

Not take my word for it, do you even understand what giving a link to your profile on Upwork means? You can see what they worked on, how much they charged for and most importantly what was the feedback the client did. And I am not talking about jobs with 200/300 USD range pay, I am talking about jobs with thousand of hours and tens of thousand of dollars as payment with more then six months of continuous commitment to them AND at the end of those jobs my clients praised me while giving me 5 stars. That's what I meant with verifiable track.
Oof, nowadays recipes call for adding the lye to the fat, rather than the fat to the lye. The lye will react with the fat to produce heat, and it’s much better to ramp up the ratio of lye to fat rather than introducing a small amount of fat to the lye. It doesn’t mention curing the soap, either, which both hardens the soap and allows the reaction to complete. It makes the soap last a lot longer and helps avoid getting burnt by untracked lye. I wonder if the weaker ash-based lye solution is safer overall than commercially available pure lye.
Yes, you can compile the python script/program to a windows exe file. It is quite large cause it has to also include all dependencies. However it does work. Can't remember what I used but a quick Google search would bring it up.

> Type identifiers should be in PascalCase [1]

I don't get why some languages adopt the 'PascalCase for types' approach (which is fine), but then a bunch of the built-in types such as 'string', 'set', 'int64', etc. are lowercase... it's annoyingly inconsistent.

It's not so much a stereotype as it is a statistical reality. And I never said it was a personal failing, I alluded that the reasons they don't push their kids to swim are complex.

> If your parents didn't grow up swimming, they're less likely to take you.

Furthermore, if your parents can't swim, they may harbor fear of the water or drowning and seek to "protect" their children by actively avoiding pools or swim lessons, and thus the cycle will continue for many generations.
Is this for real?

I just tried it on mine and it worked fine.
The purpose of fingerprinting is to do "re-identification". The ad network waits until the browser visits some site that does have PII for the user, and then combines that PII with the fingerprint to re-identify the user everywhere they go.

I personally remember being a teenager in California trying to buy a lighter to smoke and it was not straightforward. Indeed, I ended up being successful, but I had to use a stove lighter we had lying around my house.

Huh? Are you saying that teenagers behave completely rationally? We just wanted to rip our magic flight launch boxes while watching bill nye. It would have been more discrete to sit down and shut up.
The device has to be under Apple's management software. It's basically like a corporate IT management platform but for schools and teachers to use with their class set of iPads.

But it doesn't work on personal devices.
>But obviously, you can't pull ground breaking discoveries and great bussinesess out of the hat, and make government more efficient, just because there is more money to be invested. Quite the opposite.

I think we agree more than you think here. There weren't any good investments to be made, so the extra money thrown at investments is wasted through malinvestment rather than consumed. The big difference is that I'm explicitly trading off malinvestment with current consumption, rather than the inaccessible hypothetical world in which productive investment opportunities were pulled out of a hat.
To add to what you are saying: I feel a lot of the accusations are generic and overly ambiguous and this can lead to multiple interpretations which hurts everyone.

For example:
“I witnessed first hand (and was told second-hand) of several situations where women were being belittled, insulted and ignored”

This text mentions the accusation of 'belittled, insulted and ignored'. But what exactly happened?

It COULD mean a long term pattern of horrific abuse and psychological torment.

But as a Latino working in the US, I've seen first hand other Latinos completely over-react and get defensive in situations which were completely uncalled for.

Someone makes a joke about Mexican food and they feel 'belittled and insulted'. Then because they are so insanely sensitive and tend to take everything personally, other co workers ignore them. To me, that's the logical conclusion of what happens to people with a victim mentality. I'm Latino and feel they were wrong for being sensitive. Am I wrong too?

I say this because as a Latino, I don't want WASPs to feel scared of speaking near me. If that happens, there will be segregation. And I would understand; who wants to be on the defensive all the time? Most groups of co-workers there tends to be hazings and people joke around.

This is not to say there aren't real cases of Latino discrimination, I'm just saying that the wording used in the accusations of the article is extremely vague.

When someone mentions 'sexual harassment', that can mean everything from a long term pattern of physiological torture under duress with physical attacks accompanying it (extreme cases of sexual harassment), to someone being asked out a single time in a less than appropriate manner but with no duress or obligation (maybe a co-worker though there was something and he misinterpreted a single time while drunk at the x-mass party but instantly backed out upon rejection... that too is sexual harassment).

Both of these are 'sexual harassment'. One of them would warrant a VERY strong response. The other... not so much so. I think some people when they read sexual harrasment think one extreme while others think the other. But this only leads to people talking over each other without understanding. Using words with specific and concrete definitions is necessary for communication.

At some point in the last century, words related to victims and attacks became so open ended that it's really hard to understand what is being discussed.

Further, it's likely our society places a disproportionately large emphasis on "super-effective" cleaning agents.

It's interesting to hear the constraints the language developer wanted from the beginning (20k lines, macro system drives most of the language development) and the various compromises they had to make along the way.

> Furthermore, we don't really know yet how to leverage a macro system in order to give us extensibility on the type system level, so Nim's core needed generics and constraints for generics.

I'm curious to dig into Nim and it's type system. I'm not familiar with Pascal style typing, I wonder how it compares with Rusts type system?
With Firebase if I need a new env I just type 1 command and get it.

With VMs I have the joy of managing my own keys.

VMs need security patches, updates, and I have to maintain images. I have to think.

It is hard to explain how simple firebase functions are.

There is literally no mental overhead. There is no worrying. There is nothing to maintain or think about, no settings up quotas or managing what machine something is running on or getting user auth setup. No certs that can expire or daemons that can crash.

I can come back 2 months later and count on everything I setup functioning just as I left it.

Some months I wrote a bunch of endpoints, I average 2 a month maybe, but if I am adding a new feature, I can pop out 3 or 4 a day, and then go on my way and work with the front end again.

Getting debugging up and running for them can be interesting (painful and bad), but everything else is just smooth.

I don't want to maintain a bunch of infrastructure, I want my users to ask for some data and get some data back.

If someone is doing non-trivial processing, serverless is probably not for them. But I have a bunch of 20-50 line functions that are all independent of each other and have 0 state.

I realize I'm paying a premium, but it is worth it to have this stuff that just works.

This is true to some extent - use it or lose it. They also teach you to know your limits so your pain doesn't flareup and put you in bed for a week. You learn this delicate balance this over time, to push yourself just enough but not too much. At first you hurt yourself constantly because your body can do whatever you want - right? But no. Not now.

That fact doesn't really make it easier to get out of bed. Your brain tells you not to move, that you're injured. Rest. Its an animal thing. You have to overcome it each morning, and all day long. And unfortunately that takes energy. It drains you. You have much less capacity as a result. Everything in life is harder. You do the best you can. This is the reality of disability.

It fucking sucks.

Firebase does a lot of stuff. Originally it was a small company that focused on providing a real-time JSON-like backend store for web apps. But then they got bought by Google and seem to have evolved into Google's answer to a lot of AWS services, ie hosting, real-time DB, serverless, and probably more I'm not aware of.
To put things in perspective, 45 employees represent ~0.14% of all the women working at Google (based on wikipedia and [1]). Given my perception of humans and abusive corporate structures, I am actually quite impressed!

I suspect that since illicit drug trafficking has a strong social stigma, it may not be the best thing to lead with. It can, however, be discussed with nuance in a way that could change minds. I definitely think there's a lot of legitimacy to what you're saying.

Reminds me a bit of what you see with how some societies approach drug addiction. Providing a safe space with clean needles vs throwing in a prison. There's a lot to think about.

And I think we've seen some of that with the marijuana legalization across the US. The state adoption had strong initial resistance, but public opinion began to shift once it got out of the shroud of stigma and moral enforcement.
And to me there is a big difference between the Government encouraging recruitment of those with knowledge through immigration vs a Government who IS the 'primary' stakeholder in all Corps + actively using state resources/agencies for theft.

Don't talk to strangers at work. I don't care if you're coworkers: Unless you have to do a task with this person, they aren't interested in being anywhere near you, nor should you be in them.

Don't talk to anyone. Ever. Talking is awful. People are worse. It's hard to imagine a more horrifying combination than talking to people.

A better movie: We use geoengineering to make Venus habitable and maintain Earth's climate in its current state. We double the effective surface area of the human race and all of Earth's species, while the idea of terraforming Mars is reduced to a silly joke.

Instead of making a movie, we could actually do it. It sure beats the hell out of Mars.
It’s also a disaster for thousands of non human species. Many species are going extinct because of human activity. Which in my opinion is a shame. Yes, in millions of years life may come back if we don’t trigger runaway greenhouse effects, but that’s still a lot of life destroyed.
