I wouldn't say I welcome the rise of Chinese hegemony, but I do welcome the rise of a more collaborative world, and that requires middle ground where there hasn't been with US hegemony due to lack of competition:

I know that I can't expect to do business in the US or Europe if I opine on Jewish sovereignty issues

I know that I can't expect to do business in China if I opine on Chinese sovereignty issues

The result isn't that different just because the former is [mostly] private sector ostracizing and the latter is direct sanctioning from the government. It's cognitively negligent for that specific nuance of private sector deplatforming vs public sector sanctioning to be the line in the sand for people's ideology when the result is the same for doing business in a specific region.

Although Chinese rule of law is totally arbitrary, they've been very consistent that discussion of Chinese sovereignty is not covered and this has nothing to do with any ideology or desire that causes you to say anything about it.

I don't expect this to garner consensus, but the parallels are quite clear. Everyone here already censors themselves to fit with American values on things that greatly disturb them.
Facts and truth are two different things. A set of facts can be chosen to say something untruthful.

And there can be different 'truths' depending on the values people bring to the analysis of facts.

Having Facebook, or their designates, arbitrate 'truth' will only create a privatized ministry of truth.
Another random thought:

A section on "stuff that's not in OTP, but many people end up using".

For instance, poolboy comes to mind, alongside the circuit breakers I mentioned in the other comment.

lager for logging.

At one point, there was a lot of stuff in the basho github repo that seemed pretty widely used.

It's been a bit since I've used Erlang so maybe there are some others that come to mind as "you're likely to see this included in a production Erlang system".
On one hand, yes, he did (in a way) and that helped him when he came back to Apple with the iMac.

In another, a lot of people did. I had a TRS80 Model 100 and was blown away by CompuServe and BBSs in the mid 80s. I managed to finagle a SLIP connection to a local university in 1990, and knew that was the future. Anyone who had access to it did, because those were the people building Netscape and Yahoo, etc. It wasn't hard to see that was the future once you knew it existed. Even Bill Gates did, but he got distracted by CD ROMs and their huge local storage capacity and took his eyes off the ball. MS had an Internet connection very early on.
Part of the regulation could be that Facebook can only serve stateless political ads. If a politician wants to advertise, they can't pick and choose any parameters.

This is the worst thing - they have a pretty good API and sensible terms to use it for personal use at least. Garmin by comparison is an omnishambles - no API unless you're a megacorp.
My point isn't that the people who care about free software are misdirected. My point is that they don't focus enough on making the free software experience painless.

Take, for example, F-Droid, the free software package manager for Android. In my opinion it is free software done right. Easy to install, easy to manage, easy to publish. At no point do you have to pop a shell and interact with a dozen low level bash executables or edit deeply nested configuration files (each written in their own markup language of choice) to Get Things Done.

> If you believe heavily in X then you'll make sacrifices in order to achieve X, even if that results in costs in other areas.

My response is that believers in X who want to make a difference will put in the effort to reduce the sacrifices others have to make to join X. As another example, consider the roles the Toyota Prius and then later the Tesla Model S/3/X played in mainstreaming the idea of owning an electric car. It wasn't that long ago that hybrid-electric cars were relegated to small columns in PopSci rather than the front page of MotorTrend. In the next few years we will see a similar transformation with vegetarianism/veganism with Beyond Meat and Impossible Burger - as soon as it costs less to make meat in a lab than it does to grow and care for livestock, you bet everyone is going to leave the cows alone. Not just for morality (although the moral argument is a powerful one), but because the alternative is simply better in every way.

If you want to be the truly superior solution, and you want people to believe in your cause, you can't expect them to make sacrifices.
OK, that is a much more defensible thing to say. What do you think is a more efficient form of exercise then?
I used to use them (usually to no avail) for the office products a couple decades ago. I try to use F1 now occasionally but even for excel it’s faster to just do a web search.

You think they can't be sanitized + cleaned?
They did try something like this and it backfired. People were more likely to click headlines marked as "fake new", not less.

It's pretty easy (and a bit depressing) to see why: imagine seeing a headline that agrees with you politically. The candidate that you support did something good. Or the other side did something bad. It confirms, yet again, what you already know. But now, there is a little label that says that this may be fake. It's very easy to rationalize that the moderator is biased or doesn't know what they are talking or that this is simply what they want you to believe, isn't it? The bubble is real.
That’s unfortunately naive —- as we’ve heard, these days “the personal is political”. To a lot of people, if you disallow politics you are also restricting personal expression. Banning politics would lead to yet another doubling of the avalanche of one-sided hit pieces out there.

What are the arguments for adopting Erlang instead of Elixir for new projects in 2019? I understand there is a lot of existing Erlang code out there, but it has a reputation for being less approachable than something like Elixir (syntax and tooling).

Yeah, some very bad things have happened. Not excusing that. But also things have worked out really really well for a lot of countries the US has imposed its will on. Countries it went to war with and could have utterly raped and plundered without resistance or really any objection.

You think China is going to do better? Will it be more fair? The regime in China is willing to hurt anyone who even debates its track record. Will China even allow its failures and excesses to be documented on Wikipedia? Or will it just censor it all, and disappear anyone who complains?
It looks like you overlooked the "Buy" link at the upper right.
I feel like I get a lot of this signal with much less noise by asking someone in the moment to “tell me about something you’ve built.” While you can lie on a resume it’s much harder to lie about that on the spot but it should be really easy for you to tell me about something you cared enough about to make.
With more bikes because of bike lanes, I hope the city will begin enforcing bike infractions more seriously. So many people on bikes are going way too fast in the bike lanes (and pedestrian pathways) and do not stop at red lights, etc. I was happy to see a person get stopped and ticketed for riding down a walkway to a bike path when there was a sign explicitly stating that riding on the path was not allowed.

I've seen so many pedestrians hit by people on bikes, in bike lanes that did not stop at red while someone was crossing the walk. It's invariably a Lance Armstrong type or a tourist on a City Bike with no idea what they are doing.

With the loss of revenue from parking tickets it will have to be made up somewhere and people on bikes should be the targets for fines. There should also be stricter requirements on registering bikes for a fee to be used in the city with unlicensed bikes being fined.

Then, is Facebook the newspaper, or is it the mail (in terms of how it should have to treat political ads)? j-c-hewitt thinks it's the newspaper. But why that and not the mail?

Note well: I'm not saying that Facebook should be treated like the mail rather than the newspaper. But, given that they can target ads to individuals, that aspect seems more like the mail, at least to me.
I think this is a hopeless goal, sort of related to Reflections on Trusting Trust.

Even the most basic version of this, a ballot-marking system, is pretty much infeasible unless you have formally verified hardware as well, which is not even possible even for commercial vendors. At least for them, selling sealed units that are somewhat resistant to physical modification is possible, but even there physical compromises have been demonstrated.

Ballot scanning machines (for hand-marked ballots) are a pretty good balance of time/accuracy/simplicity, with the auditability being a big bonus for both random checks and for disputed elections.

To take New York state as an example, it has manually marked ballots now with ballot scanners for tabulation, and I'm reasonably comfortable with the tabulation and placement aspects; where NY fails is largely in usability -- ballot design is worse than terrible, and borders on misleading. That plus the inscrutibility of NY's ballot initiative system (trying to find the actual text of the ballot measures is nearly impossible) makes the whole system a little shakey. And part of that as well is the scope of elected positions for minor things (what the hell is a Comptroller and why are we voting for one); they basically are a power transfer from the executives to the party machine to allow them to essentially give positions to people favored by the (unelected) party apparatus, which give toeholds to higher positions.

Fun how he "surely reached out" when news outlets tried to find a record of this and couldn't find anyone willing to confirm that he met with them, and his representatives refused to provide any examples.

I mean yes, in a sensible world, he would be reaching out to both groups - that'd be fine! He's not.

Also: if you want to give conservatives ideological representation, you can make better choices than Breitbart and Tucker Carlson.
> This precisely shows me you're dishonest. Why pick those categories while ignoring the "agree" one?

Because it shows evidence of dissent in the community of economists polled. I am happy to admit all of the specifics into the discussion. I am adamantly opposed to painting over the real disagreements in the economics community, because I think it's important.

> That you cite those two cases while ignoring so many counter to what you want to be true is dishonest and misleading at best.

On the other hand, you seem to think that I should accept the top-level conclusion you want me to accept without any reference on your part to the real disagreement present in the polls.

I don't think 'dishonest' is a fair characterization of my attempt to point out that you are presenting your favorite side of the argument without considering the dissent.

> How did I err? Banks have unlimited capital available, borrowable at Fed rates. It does have an effect on the economy - it lets the economy grow at rates demanded by commerce instead of being constrained by too little capital or by being overflooded with capital.

Please clarify here: what would 'over-flooded with capital' look like?
I think the point I'm trying to drive more is: the opportunity and ability to moderate content, speech, etc. needs to be in the hands of the people, not just the entity.

On Facebook, I have the ability to report or flag a post, and that's a fair amount of power I have, especially since I have the opportunity to fact-check said post if I want to, and contribute to a sincere and meaningful debate around whether that content should be available to others or not.

I don't think an organization should be able to blanket-determine what's acceptable or not, lacking transparency into the exact vetting process used show or hide a piece of content, because their values may be at odds with enough of the people using it (i.e. a large enough group of people hold a political view that Facebook may deem "dangerous").

I am confident we can agree that fraud is universally something that most people do not want, except for our lovely fraudsters.

When it comes to politics, that is an entirely different ballgame. We are dealing with equally valid views on both ends of the spectrum, in an environment where the majority of those in power are condemning and attempting to control speech coming from the one side.

I say this because of the sheer number of anecdotes (including my own) that have noticed practically unanimous support from most major media institutions for one side, while also condemning the other side. I'm not going to specify which sides, because I believe it's obvious.
I've noticed there's a section in there about deploying with Docker. I know many other development communities swear by Docker, but a number of the OTP/BEAM devs I've spoken to seem unsure about it.

I also tend to believe Docker makes little sense, where OTP releases are the alternative.

What's the opinion here? This question only pertains to OTP development.
Nobody is arguing whether nations should or should not be trying to impose their values on other nations. The issue is, do you really want to stand on the sidelines while a rising nation with no qualms about murdering its own people is touting values counter to freedom and fairness?

What's a political ad? Better yet, what's a NON-political ad?

If McDonalds advertizes how good and healthy their Big Mac is, is it political? What if someone complains that it contradicts some pending legislation? What if someone complains about the racial make up of the cast in the ad? What if the ad mentions a word that later someone complains about?

We live in a nation where we can't agree on what a man or woman is, and what that means. In fact, just talking about it is now political.

So, who's going to judge whether something is political or not?
> pharmaceutical, lawyer, and mesothelioma ads aimed at the aging demographic

I created a new fake account a while back and for a while many of my ads were about vape pen litigation, similar to TV lawyer ads but for a younger crowd.
No. What you're describing is the problem people have when teaching/providing insight/responding to questions online. They all use their current understanding and apply it to the question not assuming the other person has no knowledge of the subject.

Haven't you ever seen someone ask a question online that had a "newbie" answer that is generally correct, only to have a ton of people flood your response with all the caveats ignoring who their audience actually is. The default for most people is to use your current knowledge.
I guess I’m downvoted because it sounds far-fetched. Well, given that I work for one of these companies, I can say it’s true.
I've seen this in other disciplines, and if anything to worse degree. I've witnessed situations where the old masters can't talk to the journeymen, and the new masters can barely talk to the beginners. You learn by watching and whatever the people a couple years ahead of you can decipher for you.

To make matters worse, what often happens is that the instructors believe they have taught something, and they don't witness the actual learning take place, so they continue in their belief in their practices.
Lot of this. Most bikehsare rides in NYC are quick one-way jaunts like this.

Anecdotally, I know a lot of women who ride bikeshare bikes for the 5-6 blocks it takes them to get home from the subway in the early-sunset months as a safety precaution against sexual harassment.
This is a huge problem in Austin. There are certain protected bike lanes that I won't use because drivers have no visibility and won't yield to cyclists anywhere near as often as they should even when the visibility is good.

> To put this into perspective, you produce more waste with a grocery trip or a takeout order than you do with owning AirPods.

That is probably only true in the US given the amount of regulation on compostable bags and boxes we have now in the EU.

Secondly, e-waste is orders of magnitude more difficult to dispose of and it often contains some rare minerals that got mined in some war zone in Africa: that should give you more of an incentive to recycle than some random styrofoam container.
I did not know mining was performing blockchain transactional comps. I thought it was a scarcity mechanism.

Thus BTC is a bankrupt idea, since it assumes geometric growth in energy/computation. Time to sell!
"Jobs: When I went to school, it was right after the Sixties and before this general wave of practical purposefulness had set in. Now students aren’t even thinking in idealistic terms, or at least nowhere near as much. They certainly are not letting any of the philosophical issues of the day take up too much of their time as they study their business majors. The idealistic wind of the Sixties was still at our backs, though, and most of the people I know who are my age have that engrained in them forever."

This was pretty striking for me, the goal of becoming rich, or being 'a millionaire' has been pounded into me from a young age to the point where I have difficulty picturing myself obtaining any kind of happiness without some level of financial success. Hopefully the current generations can find fulfillment in different areas. Tying happiness to money is kind of a cruel road to send entire generations down.
It is obvious that the CEO of one of the biggest and most influential companies in the world would have dinner with world leaders.

I'm not sure I see anything that supports your conclusion. Have you considered what evidence would make you change your mind?

Garmin does quite a bit of business outside the consumer market which is way outside of Alphabet's wheelhouse.

For example, they have an aviation division which produces radars and glass cockpits for government and defense. If they were having trouble with their consumer lines (which by all appearances seem to be thriving) they might spin it off and sell it, but the whole company seems a bad match for an Alphabet acquisition.
Political ads on TV are regulated.
Not really. No amount of money can solve your cancer or rare degenerative muscle disease, no amount of money can prevent car accidents or fatal mistakes. No amount of money can protect everyone in your life that you care about without taking away their individual freedoms in the process.

If any of these happened to you 20 or 30 years from now, you're gonna wish you spent your time with your family or your friends rather than head-down in 32 bash terminals or something trying to administer server clusters when you could just hire some SaaS to do it for you. Unless of course you already get an ample amount of time with everyone you'd like - there's nothing wrong with tinkering for tinkering's sake, and as long as you are happy with what you are doing there's no need to change!
The VS Code extension took a long time to support newer versions of the language.

Throw in creative ways to extract fees without them looking like fees and I think you've accounted for most of it.

One of the things I've learned by watching the cryptocurrency saga is that money and finance belong to the class of things you want to be unbelievably boring. Other members of this class include governments, infrastructure, and the legal system. Interesting finance is probably a scam. Interesting infrastructure includes things like ISPs that spy on you or selectively throttle traffic or Pacific Gas and Electric if you happen to live in Northern California right now. Interesting government was a leading cause of death among adults in the early 20th century.

An analogy on a personal scale to interesting finance or interesting government would be an interesting heartbeat. You really don't want to have an interesting heartbeat. It probably means you are dying or having a seizure. You want your pulse to be incredibly boring. Thump, thump, thump...
