I was interviewed by a major newspaper twice, both times they published almost the opposite of what I told them. Once they also misspelled my name, which actually made me happy, because it was like "okay, I am definitely not imagining things, they really can't get anything right".

In both situation I was just some unimportant rando. I can imagine that people they dislike get much worse treatment.
The donor didn’t get tax receipts so clearly they valued the anonymity more than the deduction, but even still, setting up a DAF requires:

1. Researching the various providers and setting it up

2. Transferring in the asset

3. Waiting for the fund administrator to liquidate the assets

4. Advise them on where and how much money to send to whom

5. Wait for them to do it

Not to mention if you want to donate more you need to do steps 2-5 again.

Versus one bitcoin transfer.

I realize that now the charity needs to do the liquidating which obviously is not trivial but certainly it is much easier from the donors perspective. And again, the bitcoin way makes them completely anonymous. You set up a 50 million dollar DAF with fidelity and the government is going to know about it whether or not the charities do.
Might as well go with MediaWiki?

...doesn't help either.

The problem is that when you ask "How many blue cats are bouncing?" you are stating that blue cats are in existence. So there'd have to be some, not none. There'd have to be a number strictly greater than zero. So zero/none can't be the answer, or you're somehow breaking the rules of the game of logic, or how the computer game is set up.

If, however, you say "How many cats are blue and bouncing?" then the presupposition would only extend so far as to state that cats are in existence, which is reflected on-screen. In that case, it may well be the case that there are zero/no cats that are blue and bouncing.

Let me crossindex something I linked in the other thread:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syllogism#Existential_import

When Aristotle describes his logic (All men are mortal...) he never fathoms the possibility that one of these sets that he talks about could be empty. (Empty sets, in that sense, don't belong in the realm of science, as far as he is concerned, but in the realm of fiction and so forth).

So, to get back to the original post: If I were doing this for a 2-4 year old, then zero is a can of worms I would try to avoid opening altogether. Or I would make sure that the presupposition-part of any question that is asked is in line with the evidence on screen.

If, instead of following Aristotle, you follow the embedding of the syllogism into modern predicate calculus and modern predicate calculus into propositional logic, then you end up with outcomes that will be mindbogglingly counter-intuitive to a 4 year old (but to any person, really).

Example: "All flying horses are three-legged." would become a true statement.

Since there are no flying horses, this is always an empty set. Ex falso quodlibet. Therefore always true. A valid statement.
> Antiviral drugs for hepatitis C are very effective, but they come at a steep cost. Just one Sovaldi pill costs $1,000. A full 12-week course of treatment with this drug costs $84,000.

It's worth noting that, in the US, almost nobody is actually paying those prices. Most insurance plans these days cover HCV treatment, and even insurance companies aren't paying those sticker prices to the pharmaceutical companies when they cover these drugs.

This might be true if the idea of this app was something you were supposed to put your kid in front of for a few hours a day.

To me it is just one thing, one of many, many things a kid will encounter, that help them understand concepts. It's not that different from the typical ad hoc "games" I play with my daughter, often while in the car. From "I spy with my little eye" to "what's the opposite of X" to "I'm thinking of a movie where there is a...." to "how many points on a star? how many wheels on a bicycle?" and so on.

I'm not sure what sort of "enjoying logic" you are expecting from a 2-4 year old. Solving little puzzles actually seems pretty enjoyable to them, from my experience. This is not to suggest that it should come at the expense of more "natural" ways of learning logical concepts.

Experience shows that almost every time someone writes a project like this in C, applying modern fuzzing tools (e.g. AFL) will uncover bugs that let a maliciously crafted input file hijack execution and act with the privileges of whatever's running the code. It is a lot of work to remove all such bugs (and not reintroduce any) and you never know when you're done. That is a very severe problem with C that is having devastating effects on society.

It is therefore irresponsible to use C for a new project like this, unless you know your code will never be exposed to malicious input. (Note that if you share the code with anyone else, it's hard to have such confidence.)

If someone ask "How many elephants are in the fridge?" it would be weird.

I don't think that it is unnatural to answer "zero" in the first question, it is probably a social convention. For the second question I agree that is unnatural.

You may certainly hold the sentiment yourself but that offers no insight into whether it is valid. I have to wonder for example, do you research the claims of every mainstream news article and if so what have you found? How accurate are they after you've researched their claims? What's the accuracy rate on mainstream news articles? How does that compare to the accuracy rate of "non-mainstream news articles?" I know if I had such a strongly held belief as this that I would want to investigate if my belief was correct or not and if not, change my belief.

All legislation tends to be reactive rather than proactive. The drone industry, in my opinion, has been rather irresponsible about educating their customers. As a result you have people flying drones in places, at times and altitudes they should not.

A few years ago, where I live, we had a rash of new drone owners doing stupid crap like flying over homes, roads, highways, parks and supermarket parking lots, to name a few. This culminated with the inevitable. Someone got hurt, badly, when a drone fell out of the sky. The drone owner/operator got arrested. They ended-up in jail and lost their home in the lawsuit that followed. Pretty f-ing stupid behavior if you ask me.

As someone who has been designing, building and flying all kinds of remote controlled aircraft for somewhere around 35 years, I have been looking at what the consumer side of the drone industry has been doing with horror. I have crashed so many aircraft and helicopters I can't even list them. I am not talking about cheap toys either. My highest cost crash was $6,000 in one day.

The point is these things are toys made with toy-grade electronics. They are nowhere near reliable enough to dare fly over structures, people or roads unless the pilot is willing to face the consequences of killing one or more people and possibly burning down an entire neighborhood. Having done extensive work in aerospace I know full-well what proper fault-tolerant design looks like --cause I have many fault-tolerant designs under my belt. These things are not even close to being safe enough to fly over a crowd of kids at the park or above a neighborhood. And yet it happens all the time.

The industry has had an opportunity to address these issues, either technologically, through education or both. And they have note. Therefore, they are slowly being constrained through precisely the legislation they deserve to have to face.

One of the things I said years ago as drones started to become popular and people started to do stupid things with them was that "these people are going to ruin the model aircraft hobby for everyone". I am sad to say I was right. They are doing precisely that and more.

Not sure if there are any solutions at this point other than the kind of legislation responsible drone owners do not need and do not want.

Oddly enough this is precisely the same situation we have in the US with the firearm issue. Responsible firearm owners don't need legislation to be, well, responsible law-abiding citizens who harm nobody. Those who are in a range between careless and demented are the one's who ruin it for everyone else. This is now happening to drones. Same thing. Different hardware.
An honest job is no more demoralizing or humiliating than we make it out to be. And, most importantly, no one owes us a job here in the US. Your skills are what determines your worth in our byzantine and feudal job market. At the end of the day, the US labor pool has been commoditized, much of this government-sponsored. Like in any commodities market, there are a few winners and lots of losers. Like that form of 'legalized extortion' we call the US health care system, the H1B guest worker visa program and our ailing infrastructure, much of this is due to our Government's actions.

For Hepatitis C? Absolutely not. It's way easier for US citizens to access the drugs to cure HCV in the US than it is for, say, British citizens to access it in the UK.

If you want to talk about other conditions, fine, but for Hepatitis C, this statements is patently false.
I'd assume that you'd be able to open the most squares by opening those that are completely disconnected from all other squares. That is, make a checkered pattern where there is at least one border of unopened squares around every opened one.

This is already done on some sites through shadow-banning.

On big social media sites, people will likely work around the restrictions. I can think of hundreds of ways to bypass such bans.

Those that bother don't may find themselves in echo chambers.

The two key groups in western countries are baby-boomers (likely acquired the infection from dentists/doctors reusing needles), and intravenous drug users. The best bang for your buck is in testing and treating this last population, but you have to be careful and try to do followups to prevent reinfection. It's worthwhile to test the baby boomer population as many of them could require liver transplants soon if not detected

Angle brackets don't actually create block quotes here, but if you just put one in front of the long wrapping text people will get the idea. The indent formatting works best for code, as it doesn't wrap and preserves newlines, but on mobile it will cause scrollbars within the comment for the same reason, making it very hard to read. It feels weird to use a single angle bracket for it all because we're conditioned by mail clients to do one per line, but that just doesn't work well here.

Alternatively, italicizing quoted text with asterisks around the block usually works, since the core of what you usually want is just to visually distinguish something you are repeating for context and your own comments on it.
> Can’t imagine having to decide to risk my entire financial future to deal with Hep C.

You'll be glad then to hear that very few people actually are.

Those prices that are cited are meaningless - most insurance plans these days will cover the drugs, and even the insurance companies aren't paying those prices to the pharmaceutical companies, because there's such fierce competition among the companies producing HCV drugs that they'll cut deals with the insurer for a tiny fraction of those sticker prices.

> If you're already in .NET Core, you're probably fine.

Note it's not quite that simple. It's true that ASP.Net Core uses the default synchronization context, and thus will not generally deadlock if a thread `await`s a `Task` that was started on the same thread (Because it can get resumed on a different one), but that doesn't mean there are no problems with this approach. An ASP.Net Core app is not going to start up as many threads as a ASP.Net one by default, and will do so much slower (And I believe there is also a lower limit on the max number of threads, though I'm not 100% sure. The article you linked says it was 25 for 1.0, but I'm not sure about the limit for 2.X or 3.X versions). Point being, if you're blocking threads by waiting on other tasks, it is still possible you encounter deadlocks or big performance drops because there are no threads currently available to run the task (And none are getting spun up to handle it).

ASP.Net Core is somewhat "worse" in this regard because of what I put above - Even if you're not hitting the deadlocks you would get in ASP.Net, if you have a lot of blocking actions that you haven't converted to be `async` then you're going to potentially hit bad performance issues due to the fact that the starting thread-pool is much smaller, resulting in a lot less requests getting processed (Because a completely `async` pipeline shouldn't require a large thread-pool to process). And, if for some reason the thread pool is exhausted and no new threads are getting created, you can still get deadlocked like before. If you're going to ASP.Net Core, you should really make your pipeline completely `async` to avoid running into issues.

>Fringe ideas become normalized and accelerate the extremism due to the ability of these long tail groups to find each other.

The same is true for good ideas. For instance, suggesting that doctors should wash their hands was originally considered an offensive fringe idea which could get you locked up in an insane asylum.

>Not sure there is a good solution to it, though.

The only solution to bad ideas is to allow them to be freely expressed so that they can be delt with publicly and transparently. Hiding bad ideas through censorship is like keeping a boil covered with a bandaid -- it's only going to fester.

"Like a boil that must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed to the light of human conscience before it can be cured."
... which is a bad thing. unless you prefer motivated people more than good ideas.
Like you said, they aren't paid to ship code, they are paid to ship features. And those shipments usually have hard, arbitrary ship dates that does not reflect the time needed to code and test them. So in order to do your job of shipping features, at times you need to use pre-written and pre-tested code, because if not you'll fail to ship.

The person I responded to specifically said the things they like about Crystal are:

• Nice syntax (mostly just that blocks/procs are easy to
use— Ruby-like syntax is nice, but it’s not really that important)
• straight-forward class/object model
• type system is simple but powerful (union types + type inference are a great combo)
• syntax and std lib that enables functional-style
programming, but isn’t strictly functional
• Pretty darn fast— compiles to machine code via
LLVM, and seems like it’s not far behind C, C++
and Rust in most benchmarks, despite being
garbage collected

Julia ticks all those boxes except the "straightforward class/object model" (which I initially missed). I should have been more clear that Julia takes a different route to Object Orientation (multiple dispatch instead of classes).

While julia has a very different user experience for the reasons you mention, that doesn't seem to be what the OP was talking about, but maybe I'm wrong.
You set one up with backup methods (backup key, TOTP and single-use codes) to avoid getting locked out. You can still get into accounts fine if the key is gone because of the backup methods, you just lose the extra layer of phishing protection.
> it is startling that we allow ourselves to force information into each others minds, but we don't allow ourselves to shove food into each others mouths, without permission!

I'm sorry, this whole concept irks me in a "not even wrong" way. It's difficult to even begin to explain how wrong I feel this sentiment is. Let me try.

First, it makes no sense to draw an equivalence between taking in information and physically assaulting someone with food. Eating is an active thing. It's something you do. You can be in the same room as a piece of cake and not eat it. You can't choose not to sense something. There is not even an option to consent to communication with someone. If you're near someone and they talk, they've communicated with you, whether you wanted them to or not. (Assuming you speak the same language).

It's the natural state of a person (all living organisms, actually) to be passively receiving as much information as possible all the time. This is because survival is dependent on being as aware as possible of your surroundings so you can detect both threats and opportunities.

Deliberately choosing to limit the type of information you're able to perceive makes as little sense to me as deliberately trying to reduce the number of colors you can see. Or making it so you can feel only pleasure but not pain. There are people who can't feel pain, it's a debilitating disorder that makes it very difficult to navigate the world.

We need to be exposed to uncomfortable ideas just as much as we need to be able to feel pain. Removing any information you "don't like" from your awareness would be about as healthy for your mind as eating only cake and potato chips would be for your body.
