Well, the summary of the argument is that the python3 UTF-8 does not actually solve the fundamental problem of multiple encoding formats existing. Think: Do you know that the process actually returns UTF-8, or that the file is actually encoded in UTF-8? No, you're just guessing. This puts people in the habit of attempting to turn everything into UTF-8 which could happen automatically and not require so much boilerplate.

On the other end, most programs don't actually care what the data encoding is. They just move it.

Are you thinking of Fantasy Sports ? I mixed the two initially as well. I see why Fantasy Sports (assembling virtual teams of real athletes) would be there, it's purely gambling, but e-sports (competitive gaming)… it's just like any other non-physical game, like chess or scrabble or whatever.

LAX to downtown: Uber and Lyft are cheaper in the middle of the day between lunch and the evening rush hour, and again after 9 or 10p M-Th.

Early morning through rush hour, and evening rush hour: 2-5x more expensive than a cab, depending on surge pricing.

Holidays: 3-20x more expensive than a cab, depending on surge. I have seen multiple Uber and Lyft fares that would have cost more than the plane ticket did.

> Where does my use or possession end? For example, I trade two sheep for a bicycle which I need for transportation to get to my job. Can someone come along and take my bicycle any time I'm not using it? If so, how is this theft justified?

You either work out an agreement with the people who might take it that a bicycle be available for you after work or you just go and find another bicycle. It's funny you say this because bicycle and scooter sharing systems have become incredibly popular, because it's far more efficient than everyone having to keep their own vehicle for the long amount of time that they're not being used. Imagine if we didn't need to have parking for storing so many vehicles. The fact that you need a vehicle to be in a certain place at a certain time is a logistical issue that needs to be solved, but owning it as property that everyone else is excluded from using is not nearly the only solution.

If we structured society such that the accumulation of material wealth was infeasible, there would be far less need to worry about people going around and taking things they didn't legitimately need.

> It's why countries or communities that have gone down the road to socialism and communism have always invariably collapsed.

I'd argue this statement is completely unsupported. There has been no form of communism that hasn't been embattled by attacks from established capitalist systems at their outset, causing them to either consolidate into authoritarian centralized regimes in order to survive or to get wiped out in their infancy, and this centralization is what leads to failure. Socialist nations who have transitioned smoothly from capitalism have done so very successfully (take Norway). This may say bad things about the ability for a property-less system to survive in a capitalism-dominated system, but it doesn't say whether it would be capable of staying stable and successful in a less hostile environment.

Your first and second points are strong hypotheses. In my opinion the third in particular needs substantiation. It's quite common for external religiosity to be negatively correlated with higher education (a reasonable proxy for "rational individual thought," which is otherwise difficult to measure). Neutral evidence points towards the opposite for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - unique in having a strong positive correlation wherein the more highly educated, the more religiously active a member is, at least in the United States [1]. Members are also more likely to have a college education than non-members (61% vs. 50%) in the U.S. as a whole, again not supporting an aversion to rational thought [2]. Neither of those disproves your assertion, but they do provide evidence to the contrary.

The problem for me is I attach a card to the top of the Pi for robot circuitry. That makes putting a heat sink or fan on the board awkward. I feel like having to do this really compromises the versatility of the Pi. For now I am sticking to 3s until I hear the temp issue is solved.

What we think of as startup-style capital, the kind that goes into software, is a hard sell for firearms manufacturers, because it's very difficult to get an edge, compared to software. Manufacturing is expensive, with a lot of up-front costs, and can't easily be scaled without a lot more up-front costs. Meanwhile, established deep-pockets competitors can just duplicate a successful product.

This is really about boutique/niche product manufacturing. There's usually not a reasonable path to becoming a billion-dollar company, at any degree of risk. That's what "startup capital" wants... to get in on the ground floor of a billion dollar company. They want that 100x return. You're not going to get a 100x return manufacturing a better rifle scope or a boutique handgun.

This is what banks are for. Start business on scraped capital, show real customers and real profit, then go to a traditional bank with a traditional business plan for scaling capital.
> The nuisance of having to add self as parameter to every class method

This was done intentionnaly, because "Explicit is better than implicit". It also has some uses, eg. if you want to do this:

class Foo:
def inject_bar(self):
def new_bar(self2):
pass # you can refer to both 'self' and 'self2 here
other_object.bar = new_bar

It's rare, but it has its uses.
> Unicode support was actually an anti-feature for most existing code. If you're writing a simple script you prefer 'garbage-in, garbage-out' unicode rather than scattering casts everywhere to watch it randomly explode when an invalid byte sneaks in. If you did have a big user-facing application that cared about unicode, then the conversion was incredibly painful for you because you were a real user of the old style.

Actually that's the behavior of python 2, it works fine, until you send invalid characters then it blows up.

In python 3 it always blows up when you mix bytes with text so you can catch the issue early on.

> In the latest py3 versions we've finally gotten some sugar to tempt people over: asyncio, f-strings, dataclasses, and type annotations. Still not exactly compelling, but at least something to encourage the average Joe to put in all the effort.

That's because until 2015 all python 2.7 features were from python 3. Python 2.7 was basically python 3 without the incompatible changes. After they stopped backporting features in 2015. Suddenly python 3 started looking more attractive.
Are you also thinking of Fantasy Sports (virtual teams of real players) ?

I don't see how E-Sports is different from Chess.
I basically do that - my core database is encrypted on Dropbox and I use a desktop app and web apps for mobile via KeeWeb which is free. KeeWeb on desktop also backs up locally in the event anything ever happens to my dropbox access, but Dropbox is the central sync point. The web app connects to Dropbox and since it's a web app there isn't even a need for the installation of an Android/iOS app. I just keep the webpage up at all times. The app is cached by design and doesn't send external connections.
From https://hunter.io/email-verifier :-

* Valid format: First, we verify the format of the email address is correct and looks something like "email@provider.com".

* Gibberish Email Address: We check to ensure the address doesn't look like a random email address. For example, 1e49cs1pb6@company.com * doesn't pass the test.

* Disposable Email Address: We check if the email address has a domain name used for temporary email addresses.

* Webmail Email Addresses: We verify if the email address uses a webmail like Gmail or Yahoo.

* Presence of MX Records: We check if there are MX records on the domain. If there aren't, the email address can't receive emails.

* Presence of SMTP Server: This check is successful if we are able to connect to the SMTP server (indicated in MX records).

* SMTP Check: We test the email address and see if it bounces or not, without sending an email.

* Accept-all Domain: We check if the server has a catch-all policy which accepts all the email addresses.

For the "SMTP check", they will be doing something like this, programatically: https://www.labnol.org/software/verify-email-address/18220/

Hey! Nice to see someone thinking so, do you think a lattice based database would be a good solution? I just implemented a lattice structure recently and anybody I try talking to about it looks at me like I'm crazy. I thought maybe I got something wrong about the structure but there are so many advantages.
What would the attack be? Someone applies and they... now have their email address and business info, which is probably public or easily discovered anyway?
Does the adult industry include things like strip clubs, physical stuff like condoms/vibrators, or dating sites/apps? I feel like a sufficiently broad definition probably encompasses a lot of money. If we’re talking specifically pornography, then I have no idea how big it is, but it certainly seems to be in a state of flux at the moment. I would love to see some additional resources describing cash flow in that industry and where things are currently moving.

No worries! I appreciated the opportunity to clarify my thoughts. Yeah, it doesn't help that my theory is a tough one to validate, since by definition the conditions don't exist to experimentally test it, so you are left with mostly thought experiments. One thing I think is in favor of your argument, decentralized technologies do seem inherently harder to reason about.

This decision was likely made from a different department, and just lucked out that it was the day before an AMD launch. If Intel wanted to delay it specifically to appear for better benchmarks, they would have waited until after Cascade Lake-X benchmarks were out. It's meant to be being launched later this month.
If it was encrypted then adoption in most of the rest of the world would go nowhere. SMS isn’t encrypted either - but this is still an upgrade.

If you are already liking KeePass I highly recommending KeeWeb, which is what I'm using. It reads a KeePass database and the desktop app web app are great in my opinion. And everything is free. Web app also caches in the browser and syncs to Dropbox so everything can sync between mobile and desktop.
Last I read AMD processors aren't affected by the Meltdown bug. And the overall performance hit was 9x as large for Intel.

Recess's CBD sparkling water sounds kind of cool, but its $5 a can! Yikes, that's one hell of a markup. I'd try it at half the price, and might be a customer at 1/3 the price, but $30/6pk is pretty wild.

Each can contains 10mg of broad spectrum hemp extract: high quality broad spectrum CBD oils are $0.80 for 10mg CBD (10mg of broad spectrum oil means the CBD content probably 5mg+/-3). Price compare with TonicVibes's 1500mg CBD (from whole plant extract) for $120 - best quality CBD oils I've found so far.

Even if the other herbs are extremely high quality as well, the margins on this product are insane.
I think it's perfectly reasonable for people to not want their apartment building to become a hotel.

My morning routine has always been to get up and use the bathroom, brush my teeth and then go about the rest of my day. If I eat breakfast at all, it's likely to be either after I've already left the house or the last thing I do before I leave. I've read somewhere (not sure how true it actually is) that you're not supposed to brush for half an hour after eating, so there's basically no point in time where I could brush after eating breakfast.
I salute this initiative but the focus on corporate surveillance is a bit strange. Snowden demonstrated that corporations either don't have a choice or are complicit in surveillance, why not target the source of the problem which seems to be the regulators who have been hijacked from within?

It definitely is a standard, defined by 3GPP. Apple alone doesn't get to decide what is a standard.

I just put my stack of Pis in front of a Noctua NF-S12A and it cools them all very effectively, even under heavy load, without the need for any goofy hardware that blocks additions like the GPIO extender or any other HATs I may want to add. I bought an adapter to power it from one of the Pis. It’s an easy solution that works for many of them with negligible effort.
It's really not constructive saying something like that without substantiating it.

an ok password manager is Chrome's password manager, isn't it?

It allows you to use smart unique passwords, syncs between devices, and uses the OS master key to hide the passwords.

Seems to consist mostly of a copy of Busybox’s C code auto-translated to Rust using c2rust – resulting in ubiquitous use of raw pointers and `unsafe` for mundane operations. That’s technically “written entirely in Rust”, but not in the way you’d expect… On the other hand, it could serve as a good starting point for a gradual rewrite into idiomatic Rust.

Most of those exploits are software/driver vulnerabilities, and AMD has plenty of their own. Like when Threadripper drivers installed an out-of-date web server running with SYSTEM privileges, or when a series of PSP and BIOS bugs let an attacker escalate from VM guest to control of the PSP and BIOS persistence. If you're not finding vulnerabilities in your software, you're not looking.

Intel is in a lot more verticals than AMD is - networking, storage, etc - and all of those get their own CVE number. But that's a more nuanced approach than "big number bad" isn't it?

Specifically, Intel is finding a lot because they're doing an enterprise-wide initiative to lock down their IPs. Is AMD making the same effort, or are there more vulnerabilities in those GPU drivers or in the chipset drivers that they're not looking for? After all, a year ago they were at the stage where they were installing an out-of-date Apache instance along with your motherboard drivers... doesn't sound like security is priority #1 for them.

Again, low number sounds good. But if you're not looking, it's actually not good.

And researchers are not looking on AMD much either. AMD is less than 5% of the server market right now, you get the big headlines from finding vulnerabilities in Intel now, not AMD. Give it another 5 years and there will be more scrutiny on AMD's hardware/software.

There's a prompt after you hit buy where it requires you to either double-tap the side button (on iOS) or TouchID (on MacOS and some iOS devices). On that prompt, it shows all the transaction information including shipping info, the card Apple Pay will run the transaction on, and the contact information for the transaction.

You must have been speeding through and missed it.
There is a difference between the current politicized phrase "spreading misinformation" and being wrong.

Anyone who speaks on the record about their hobbies for thousands of hours will say some things that are incorrect. He might not understand something, and he is usually pretty humble about his knowledge level.

But "spreading misinformation" is something that people do because they are intentionally misleading others, or have something to gain.

I don't think he is benefiting much from the pineal gland narrative. And it sounds like from the information you cited, it may even be correct, even if its premature to state it as fact.

I'm not missing the point, I'm discounting the point, because the point that adding technology is additional complexity, and complexity is bad is a nonsense argument that actually stems from a fear of new things.

This has nothing to do with getting shit done, and everything to do with people who don't want to learn new things because they're afraid of not being smart enough to make the new thing work.
