Humans are already a certain type of genetics. Your cat is not equal to you. Not in rights, and not even in dignity. This implies that your ability for intelligence and learning is what defines your rights. And if some population will have an average IQ of geniuses then they will eventually have different rights than you do. Maybe not openly on paper, but definitely in practice.

It has occurred to me that pseudo-scientific beliefs "work" for believers, just not in the way that scientists think of a system that works ("I can make repeatable predictions") but in a social and emotional way ("it makes me feel good"). That's a reason why it's so hard to get people away from them.

ABI compatibility is also important. For example, the Linux kernel takes it very seriously but Linux user space generally doesn't. One of the reasons why application developers like to package dependencies together with the program in containers.

A key element in inexact requirements is usually the human surprise element. A key to some of my success is a bias on infrastructure which is more about physics rather than messy human clients. Physics is more predictable, and the messy human stuff I have to deal with is whether or not my solutions are palatable by developers.

> There's also the underlying human trafficking problem that makes consumption of any pornography, even mainstream, a probabilistic endorsement and generation of demand for trafficking.

That does not sound like a common perception of pornography. There are a number of quantifiable potential problems with the consumption of porn, but correlating porn consumption and human trafficking seems like a stretch.

Not the same principle really as these things float on water rather than in it. Things on water float at the boundary with the lighter air. If you want to do the same thing on air you should do it at the boundary with something else, even lighter.

If you are completely engulfed in air you're like a diver underwater achieving neutral buoyancy, the same kind of thing as a perfectly balanced balloon. So you're floating in air rather than on air.

A Better Practice for Managing Many Extras_require Dependencies in Python
Not only was this the first article about Haskel that I could actually understand. But it was also the first article where type annotations makes sense. That it actually helps you think about edge cases, instead of just annoy you.

My personal experience with type annotations (not to be confused with type systems) makes the code harder to read, for very little benefit. I would like a type checker that, instead of you having to babysit the type checker, the type checker should babysit you. Instead of the type checker crying over trivial issues, and needs your comfort. The type checker should comfort me when I'm sad.

While manually writing human friendly error message helps, you still have to discover edge cases yourself. It would be nice with a tool, not necessary baked into the types/system, that automatically detects edge cases. For example detect when a variable has the possibility of becoming undefined/null. Maybe achieved via fussing.

A college once asked me "How do I get rid of the damn nulls?"

Null's are basically a lazy error/exception. Error handling is so laborious we often "forget" to do it. And this is very confusing for beginners. There are basically two camps, one that think errors are exceptions, and the other that thinks errors should be first class citizens. But there are different domains of course. I don't want my CPU to maybe return a error message when I ask it to multiply two numbers, I want that to always work, I don't care if the result get shifted (that would be a job for the type checker to detect, or better; automatically use mult64 instead of mult32), because handling errors at that level and detail would be too annoying and bad for performance. Writing network services however, it is crucial that I get noticed if a request failed.
> ABI compatibility is also important. For example, the Linux kernel takes it very seriously

Publishers do make a mess of things sometimes).

I recently tried to start a react native / typescript project, but the ecosystem confused me a lot.

Unless you're looking at it very, very closely, does 5k polygon sand look any different from 500 polygon sand, or even 50 polygon sand? Even the very close ups in the article look like they'd be much the same with a lot fewer polygons.
Have you considered that an article as linked above would be a better submission than part 3 of a rambling blog post or discussion about the size of your implants.

At least when I read the smear I knew what it was claiming in a few sentences and it made a better case for it. One part of your diatribe is a 19 minute read according to medium and in it you entirely fail to explain how you were wronged by vice in terms of what they are supposed to have shared and you constantly make excuses for doing dumb things while assuming the worst of others.

Starting from part 3 was even less informative.

After you doxed the journalist you manage to try to come off concerned and responsible by asking if anyone lived with your target and talking about how much liked babies "like all Chinese people".

Meanwhile the woman who misunderstood your situation and dismissed you. Instead of correctly assuming she misunderstood your position you portray her as some sort of race traitor designed by white people to stand in for all Asians and demand she be removed from her job.

In your universe it's OK to break the rules and unfair when this has consequences but utterly unacceptable to misunderstand your poorly communicated situation and dismiss you.

If patreon was disproportionately important to your income perhaps you should have posted the dox to your personal blog instead of the place it was sure to interupt your income. I regret replaying something that is likely untrue but man you have got to be your own biggest enemy and worst advocate.

After I think fully understanding your position and taking you at face value I wish I hadn't taken the literal hour required to understand the position of a person's plight that I just can't give a fig about because the more of your words I read the more I dislike you.

If I can in brief give you some good advice. Rewrite it in one page focusing on your accomplishments, point out briefly that some people don't want to give you credit because you are a woman but don't dwell on it or general victimhood. Cut out every smarmy pile of crap like how you love children. Then communicate clearly what vice did wrong in a few paragraphs without blaming them for your own stupid mistakes.

You will come off as genuine and sympathetic instead of loathsome.

You could also stop defending the gestapo who make it unsafe for you to be you. If you have that option I'd advise you to make your home somewhere you can safely express yourself.
I think the debt is expected to be paid after you have the initial success.

It is of course only wise in certain sitations. For Facebook speed probably was indeed a key to their success, so I am not surprised they formally enshrined it.

It is surely a shallow metric that doesn't warrant to be elevated to a universal truth though. Processes are very important to structured engineering work.

Facebook had competitors with larger feature sets with better privacy protections (ok, a feature hard to sell), but already had acquired a cricial mass of users. Over time they even increased their head start since social media has the tenedency to centralize.

> I sympathise with Twitter. India is number 1 on the list of countries that request for information on social media users and also in requesting censorship.

And they have a good reason for that. This is from the article:

The report said most of the blocked content was critical of the government's recent move to strip Indian-administered Kashmir of its semi-autonomous status, and were made after requests by the government itself.

There was a massive misinformation campaign against India on Twitter in the aftermath of abrogating article 370. Many of these tweets originated from Pakistani handles[1][2]. They have even started impersonating top Indian military officials on Twitter[3]. And it seems that they are not just stopping with Kashmir. The propaganda campaign even covers Rafale and Tamil Nadu[4][5].

I agree with you that the article isn't particularly anti-India. However, the article should've provided some more context considering that a lot of BBC readers are from the West.

Good news. I hope it will be very expensive, so that only smart and hard working people can afford it for their children. Eventually we will need to leave lazy and stupid people behind, and creating a class of genetically superior humans is a good way to do it, because it will create a group identity and they won't consider themselves as normal humans.
