> Being “edgy” is just a way Of being a bully or bigot under

> the pretense of a joke.

The term "edgy" is to be on the edge of what could be generally called socially acceptable through some kind of content (such as a joke or opinion).

The reason it is a joke and not just a statement of opinion is because there is some mutual understanding that the intention is to be funny and the setup subverts your expectations in some way.

For example, the joke (chosen for being simple and controversial): "How do you make a postman cry? [Person thinks] Kill his family". The joke is funny not because you or I have some deep unsettled hatred for postman, it's funny because it subverted your expectations for how the joke should have ended. In information theory this would be "maximizing expected information gain" - or simply things are interesting. Postman might not find the joke funny, especially if they so happened to be on the receiving end of violence for example - but that not every joke is funny to everybody.

The point is, if you find a comedian unfunny, stop paying for a ticket to go see their shows. If you dislike Breitbart's authors, don't read their content and bump up their ad revenue. This circles back to the benefits of capitalism - reward what you want to see more of, your money is your vote.

> It’s not a new thing, just a new term for “dog whistles”.

I'm not entirely sold on the term "dog whistle". Every joke is tailored for a specific audience and you may or may not be the target demographic. I wouldn't call jokes intended for children to be "dog whistles to children".

If you mean that they are "secretly not meant to be jokes" - then why wouldn't they just outright say it? Why go to the effort of dressing it up as a joke? Especially in somewhere like America where their freedoms are protected up until the point of calls to violence.

If anything, to me the term "dog whistle" exists only to write somebody off completely without having to think critically about the actual meaning behind what they have said. Saying something like "they are all nazis" allows somebody to write off a large group of people and their opinions in the same way a racist might against a race of people they don't want to debate with (which I can't give a good faith example of because this platform has it's own biases).

The real political divide in many Countries is growing because people have become intellectually lazy. Platforms like Facebook are rewarded with return visits if they keep feeding you exactly the content you want to see, not the content you need to see. Perhaps Facebook and other social media platforms have realized that they do need to show you the other side of the argument, even if they risk driving user retention down.

This is a silly argument, of course de-sugaring language leads to a less nice type signature. C functions compiles down to assembly and C++ or Java hide vtables and such when you do method calls.

If you go lower in the abstraction level you get more complicated mechanics, and that says nothing over the validity of the high level semantics.
What do you mean by "your email"? Does anyone really have only one email address? I've cut down to three in the last few years. It amazes me that, in the age of free addresses, everyone doesn't have at least one, separate personal email address for friends and family apart from their public and/or company email.

I have spent large amount of time working with msbuild while migrating msbuild build into a different build system (including working on implementation of two way converter, from an to msbuild).

What you described (cache based on preprocessor flags) is really cool, in practice it does not give a huge win compared to proper modern build system like Bazel, and decent user interface (including the build language) and extensibility is much more important. Especially because it’s super hard to properly configure msbuild project with proper dependencies between modules.

I have a friend who worked at MS. He told stories how in their VS projects dependencies between modules (projects) were not configured, developers had to manually invoke compilation of dependencies. In theory it is possible to configure msbuild properly, in practice even MS employees failed to do so.

But I don’t consider msbuild a build system. For me it’s just a project format for VS which some developers commit to VCS. It’s great that MSBuild allows to have a proper C++ project definition with a custom command to actually build it (external build system), so VS sees proper project structure, but developers don’t have to deal with vcxproj files.
Yes and no. In a language like C++ you might have more control on encrypting and zeroing out sensitive memory.
can you prove that or is it just another conspiracy theory?

It's difficult to have an interpretation of a claim as straightforward and direct as the one I was referring to which flatly uses the word "cannot." The statement is just wrong whichever way you look at it given even a single counterexample. Meanwhile, you seem to have taken the worst interpretation of the comment providing their anecdotal experience, inferring for some reason that they meant it as a general statement that applies to everyone, even after they clarified otherwise in a followup reply. Your interpretation seemed so obscene to me that I felt the need to reply in the first place.
What makes a 500 billion dollar company less likely to do shitty things than a 900 billion dollar company, for any given definition of shitty?

Because it’s constrained to its niche. Let’s say split search/ads from the rest of Google. It’s still a money-printing machine but what can it spend that money on? It has to pay dividends to shareholders rather than propping up YouTube and GMail and Google Cloud and cross-pollinating data with them. Ditto if any of them become profitable. Shareholders win, regulators win, its good for everyone.

Us split-advocates aren’t just knee-jerks, we have thought about this.
They are not equally invested. using your method

Company fails

A risked $100k money got 0.

B risked $100k time got 100k money.

A is now at -$100k

B is at zero

My guess it's you'll claim A got $100k of your time so A is at 0 as well but if we follow that logic in other places we can see how it doesn't work.

A pays $10 for B to make a pie

B pays $10 of time to make a pie

A now resells pie for $20. A does not own B any percentage of profit. That's the business success case just replace "pie" with "business". Similarly A drops pie. B does not owe A a new pie. That's the business fail case. $B got their $10 money for their $10 of time. B's risk has now been paid for. A still has a risk, that they can sell the pie. Replace "drops pie" with "business fails".

The way that I understand it, a trademark can be registered to a CPL (UK equivalent to an LLC) but copyright, if registered, has to go to a person. Although I believe that some states in the US allow anonymous copyright via LLC.

I am far from being a lawyer, but this makes sense to me - a trademark is designed to be associated with a brand, copyright is designed to designate a person/group as something's creator.
These things take time, but it's not the complete story, Virgin Galactic has been around since 2004, so the same year GMail launched, without producing a single passenger flight.

Blue Origin has been around for almost 20 years, and they have a few suborbital flights to their credit, and an engine that has yet to fly.

SpaceX, on the other hand, has been around since 2002 and achieved orbit in 2008, and have completed a lot of milestones since then.

I suspect the biggest difference between these companies is not talent or vision, but sens of urgency

The big thing for me was when they started using GPS and WiFi location data on Android phones a few years ago to track which physical stores you visited, for advertising purposes. Somehow people here didn't think it was a big deal. If it was, say Microsoft, that did the same, I think it'd have been a big controversy. I think there's a bunch of "Google good, MS and Apple bad" mentality that lets Google get away with a lot of things.
Its interesting to me how many people complain about the history / request a back button / link.

I agree that sites shouldn't break history but tabs have made the back button almost obsolete to me.

Everything is middle clicked for new tab / middle clicked away when done.

I messed around with the site. Middle clicked it away and ended up here as I'd opened the comments in a new tab before I started. Didn't even notice the history issue.

Was going to say much the same here. I release trance music with a friend of mine (nothing serious, just a couple of friends who spend an evening a week working on music together), and have done for years. Pre-spotify, we used to make some money from sales of tracks - not a lot, but enough to have a few nights out here and there. Now we make literally nothing, due to the way that royalties are paid - we see tiny (£0.0001-scale) royalty payments for the hundreds of listens that the tracks get, where we used to sell a few tracks a week.

Most spotify listeners assume that their monthly payment goes to the artists they listen to, but that couldn't be further from the truth.
One of the things I've always wondered about Tesla's Solar Roof is how is it to walk on? Do you have to be extra careful because it's glass? Is it more slippery?

> In 1999, ... the global recorded music industry logged a record $25.2 billion in revenues... (For perspective, Starbucks had just under $25 billion in sales last year.)

USDs in 1999 do not have the same value (purchasing power) as in 2019 and comparing them over time without acknowledging inflation does not really create perspective all that well.
It's just a fancy way to say "risk of breaking backwards compatibility". Semver is Semantic Versioning, a versioning scheme that all Rust crates are expected to use.

I wish the letterboxing margins could be set to a color, in my case black. I've installed the Dark Reader extension but when I enable it the margins are still the default white color.
Cool idea. Looks slick.
In that context itmeans a situation where a developer of a library could accidentally break semantic versioning guarantees (no breaking change except between major versions) without noticing it. Or something that would require a major version update for some small change that shouldn't need one.
That was my first though too. A dug around a little and found some more info: https://www.arweave.org/technology.html
Yeah, definitely worth a try. Includes progressive approach.
. . . it's a long way from testing one component of an engine on the ground to getting a full engine demo going to then testing it in the air to then build the plane then integrating engine . . .

I've been using it for a while and it changed the way I read the web. I subscribe to RSS feeds with Feedly, then use p2k to send the ones I want to read. Then when I'm eating my lunch I can read interesting stuff without getting sucked into the temptation of aimless browsing, and on a nicer screen. An added bonus is that I don't get exposed to the cesspit of the comments section that seems to lurk at the bottom of every article these days :)
I can kind of get this. He wants to remain anonymous but he doesn't want to see his work on every shonky piece of merch in every dollar store in town.

Both of those seem like reasonable desires. Nobody's disputing that he's the creator after all. It looks to me like copyright law is broken, but I guess parliament won't be rushing to fix it to plug gaps for edge cases involving anonymous street artists.

What surprises me more is that there isn't a wave of faux Banksys flooding the market - sure the artist has a style but it's not absolutely unreproducible. And if, in legal terms, nobody's Banksy doesn't that mean that we're all Banksy?

Note as this is crazy overkill I am ignoring battery and lithium shortages of actually trying to do this. Any such transition would aim to minimize such costs. This is also not the kind of thing you do in a weekend long term pricing is required.

Batteries are predicted to cost 62$/kWh or 62 Billion$ per tWh in 2030 assuming no supply shortages. We can’t build anywhere near that many batteries by then, so it seems like a reasonable baseline long term. Further, by having vastly more batteries than required they end up with fewer and longer discharge cycles which extends lifespan. Current system are also deigned for much shorter lifespans because of rapid battery price drops. Based on that and further tech progress a 20-30 year lifespan seems reasonable I will use 25. Capacity is also going to drop over time and installation and maintenance costs are > 0 so I am going to add 10% ‘other’ and ignore 7% of US grid electricity generation being hydroelectric.

US annual electricity usage is ~4,000TWh / 365.24 days per year / 24h * 60h = 1.7 trillion dollars that’s a lot of money but the US can easily borrow on that scale for cheap. Further over 25 years that’s 4,000 TWH * 25 = 96,000 TWH for 1.7 Trillion dollars or 1.70$ for 96kWh or ~1.78c/kWh * 1.1 so call it 2c/kWh. Most of this power would of course come directly from solar generation, but having that many batteries is what transforms intermittent solar into peaking power.

Add 4c/kWh for crazy overkill on solar and you’re at 6c/kWh to have both base load and peaking power power. Though you still need to add significant new transmission and would have significant losses associated with charging and discharging batteries etc. Still add another 2c/kWh for all the costs I am not including and your still cheaper than Nuclear though not by as much.

PS: At grid scale wind and hydro further reduce battery storage requirements. Combined with excess though more reasonable generation say 1.5x and averaging across huge geographic areas 15h of battery power is probably significant overkill.

I think the benefit of launching horizontaly is overstated. Any airport would still need to handle LOX and hydrogen which could be pretty dangerous. And the airport is not necessarily going to be in the right place for launch.

Also traditional rockets have most of the forces acting vertically. A horizontal launch space plane must also deal with a completely different set of forces.
SGML is much more complicated than XML.

Look at this "<p<a href="/">first part of the text</> second part". This is a valid document fragment in HTML 4.01 because HTML is authored in SGML.

Writing a correct XML parser is much easier than writing a correct SGML parser, and what's more important, it's much easier to recognize errors.

I agree with OP that HTML5 should have been XML from the start. Nowadays, you hardly write any HTML by hand and even if you do, it's easy to write syntactically correct XML.

It's true that you can convert any HTML into XML with ease but it's still a stupid, unnecessary step.

In this context the hazard is that you can break the clients of your API by changing only the implementation (the function signature stays the same) because the compiler automatically infers whether the resulting future is Send or not based on the implementation.

I think the problem is the "your email address" part. No, I don't post "my email address", but I do post one of my email addresses.

But really, the primary spam problem is not with spammers crawling the web, the primary spam problem is with companies that think because you bought something from them you are keen on them getting on your nerves. So, the real anti-spam measure is giving each and every company their own email address, and just disabling any addresses that start getting spam, and those also are exempted from the spam filter, so you don't ever get false positives on those.

I really need a video on transfinite cardinals and ordinals beyond Aleph_0 and Epsilon_0.

The mention of the Veblen hierarchies really piqued my interest, but much of what I've found on them has been a bit too dense for me.

Dominic Cummings (Johnson’s top advisor)has blogged extensively about how Britain needs to be a leader in hard science and of his admiration for DARPA model. As Per Dan’s comment - the attraction is that it avoids/minimises the inefficiencies of the standard academic funding focus on submitting proposals and then publish or die.

Cummings blog is worth a read. The content is not very political beyond a key refrain that nearly all current political structures, processes and people aren’t fit for purpose for the modern world and especially the future. For what it’s worth, I voted remain.
