This single state contains Silicon Valley and is 14% of the US economy. Jurisdictionally, it could be challenged - but again, a business could just decline to do business with all customers in CA.

btw - nothing new here (fta): "Big companies are signing deals with firms that specialize in compliance".

Big companies already hire compliance companies for a large number of other regulatory requirements. This is just yet another such requirement - and it's still being hammered out in a public comment period prior to going into law.
> Interestingly the US industry didn't switch to metric citing "conversion cost"

This isn't in the past - it is an ongoing argument that literally anyone who spends any degree of time in a machine shop gets roped in to. Every machine purchase is a vote on the ongoing argument.

Which is why I explicitly called it out - because of a collective action problem in the US, we can't make a simple, obvious efficiency change (which would indeed cause comparatively brief pain for large ongoing payoffs)[1]. It was a mistake for me to switch for the reasons specified. The interesting part is that correct micro-scale choices create a macro-scale problem.

Seems to be an ongoing theme of the past couple of decades.

I think there are services with people who specialize in medical billing and find mistakes and so on, but I don't know of software. You might look at those as they can save you a lot of money as they know all the tricks and can fight back against the hospitals.

Sorry, that might not be the specific question but I thought it might be more useful and less stressful.

My thoughts are with you on this one!
What something is perceived as by the recipient doesn't matter (unless the person who perceives yelling as a threat reacts violently, in which case they'll probably lose office/have their business boycotted, anyway, on top of being faced with whether the judge perceives the "threat" to be credible or not) when it comes to speech. It's still speech.

A year ago I did some benchmarks and found that from_reader is much slower than from_slice. There's now a note in the serde_json docs, so it still seems to be an issue.

I guess std::fs::read + serde_json::from_slice is the fastest way to do it, because it avoids the from_reader slowness and an UTF-8 validation.

Within limits. There is stuff in the Constitution about interstate commerce.

Many platforms use the feedback of other users to rank and deliver content.

Thank goodness the economy is moving in the right direction.

The US has low unemployment, rising wages, and a robust stock market. If any of these were reversed, things would be different. At least we're on the right trajectory.

As some of the posters here note, automation could reduce job prospects in the near years ahead. I'm hoping retiring boomers (including myself) will open enough slots to compensate for this.
> 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.

Yep, I've found that combining the two works well. Start with an angle bracket, then use the asterisks to italicize and it's readable on mobile/PC and it's clear that you're quoting someone and it's clear what the quoted content is.

What made you think that Google does design? In my experience, what they do at Google, is talk about the overall idea of what they are going to do, but they never did design, they never analyzed tradeoffs, and they never estimated project costs or long-term implications of the crap they threw at walls, at Google. They just pretended to do design, at Google.
Property-based testing is awesome. I try to write prop-tests by default, with unit tests for explicit 'must test'.

The author doesn't mention that Hypothesis directly supports combining explicit testcases with your generated testcases. So you can write something like:

'Test list == reverse(reverse(list))`

And ensure that it always tests cases like 'empty list'.(I don't recall the exact syntax and wasn't able to find it with a quick search).

I think this is a nice way of testing because I get to define the testcases I can think of, the edge cases I expect, and also use generated tests where possible.

The downside to using this approach is performance. Especially if you're using this for something that performs IO, this can slow your tests down by 100x (since you run the tests 100s of times more).

I am in my 50s and want to start working on Raspberry Pi and Arduino fun projects. But this time do it with the mindset I had when I started out. Take the sample code and modify it without thinking too much about consequences. In many ways experience is good but I feel I have become too “professional” and worry too much about things that aren’t really important in small projects. In short, become a reckless programmer.

Also: don’t learn tech for tech’s sake but do what needs to be done to fulfill a certain task. Projects are:

- a dog door that opens for my dog but only for her

> The same is true for good ideas.

Absolutely. This is precisely why I don't think there is any form of feasible solution out there. Things get weird when forum moderation is used to snuff out dissenting opinions. You see this a lot on certain forums on Reddit in the last few years. r/Conspiracy, for example, was initially overtaken with right wing conspiracies peddled by Alex Jones (Pizzagate being the most obvious), with certain mods banning anyone critical of it and the Trump administration.

Not entirely sure why my post above is receiving down votes, though, as there really isn't a realistic approach to suppressing hate speech outside of the free market that doesn't teeter on opening the door to totalitarianism.

The spread and incubation of hate speech, debunked conspiracies and just general misinformation is, unfortunately, just a byproduct of the existence of the internet. Not much room for inoculation outside of education.
No doubt based on that recommendation Ames is a great place to live, but you're still in the American healthcare system which could financially drain you dry from one major medical incident. The article specifically mentions cheap healthcare as the other draw besides cheap cost of living.

More power to the goverment and less freedom and privacy for the citizen, what could go wrong?
Yes, you should always try to disprove your beliefs rather than to confirm them if you want to know if they are true.

I've researched the claims of many "mainstream" news articles and found almost zero falsehoods which would stand up in a court of law (courts are very lax and consider many statements to be matters of opinion that I would consider to be matters of fact); however, I've found pretty much every article, most sentences have excessive manipulative framing that taints or spins a story, leading the reader towards beliefs which are very often untrue, unproven, or judgemental (normative). I noticed this as a teenager in the 1980s and deliberately tried to 'unspin' stories, but gave up after realizing how much work that was going to be. This isn't something that happened in the last four years... at least not for right-leaning people. Maybe it's a new idea to some left-leaning people (other than Noam Chomsky/Edward Herman).

As for "non-mainstream" most of them are much worse, often containing actual provable falsehoods. But some of them do seem to be more accurate and less manipulative. I have to say "seem" because the ones I respect the most have the same biases that I do, so I can't see the mistakes as clearly.
But existing in a bubble where the only information they get is "Everything is fine, climate change is a hoax" ... is going to change their beliefs? How?

The mere existence of information within your realm of perception doesn't mean it's "shoved down your throat". That is an unnecessarily hostile view to have towards information. I assume you're in a room somewhere with some objects around you. Maybe there's a painting on the wall. Is the painting being shoved down your throat or is it just a thing that you might notice that happens to exist?

Yes, there are definitely ways of presenting information that are counter-productive to changing people's minds, but quarantining them off from information doesn't seem likely to do any better. People can learn and grow and change their views, but they need access to information to do it.
Whats the TLDR?
Or backward. Depending on one's view of any particular policy that California does that the other states choose not to.
Well, the entire problem is that in the current situation the "below 200' AGL" is completely unenforceable. The same with the line of sight restrictions, not flying around airports, etc.

That's why they are creating regulations because the current softball rules are simply being ignored and the law enforcement and regulators have no means to catch the violators nor to prove their guilt.

The result is this heavy-handed nonsense, but the drone owners have only themselves to blame here. E.g. RC plane/heli pilots were never this kind of nuisance requiring such heavy handed regulation.

The other aspect is that this regulation isn't being made just for hobby pilots. It is likely meant to cover the upcoming commercial services (e.g. goods delivery by a drone, TV crew drone usage, etc.) that are impossible today without waivers issued on a case by case basis. A transponder on a large 10-20kg drone is nothing.
For starters, one thing that the big global companies did was carefully internally segment EU/non-EU users so that they make the technical implementation and business processes to comply with GDPR, but apply these things only when necesseary, and keep the data processing of their (very profitable) USA users the same. A small or medium website most likely went either with privacy-for-everyone or ignore-the-GDPR, but any large global company can afford separate flows and has large enough financial incentives in mining that data so that it makes sense to differentiate.

For example, Equifax has a bunch of subsidiaries in EU who have to follow GDPR - and mostly are following it, or at least make a decent show in attempting so; but the main USA Equifax business could not bother with it, to great benefit of Equifax itself and detriment of all the USA citizens whose data Equifax mismanaged.
it's a terrible idea based on the belief that "AI" can solve anything. "all we need is better AI", as Zuck tried to convince Congress of. It's not a technical problem[1], and any technical solutions are bound to be riddled with trust issues.

[1] imo it's a sociological problem. we should be connecting irl and not be online which just leads to isolated people ending up alienated and indoctrinated with hate. instead of only "hunting down" hate speech we need to address the fact that people join such groups in the first place. There are some really hard questions when it comes to dealing with white-power groups: https://twitter.com/EmilyGorcenski/status/120998572902520422... and unless we can find a solution to them people will continue getting clicks for snake-oil solutions such as "better AI" (AI really just stands as an excuse to continue the current revenue model of information extraction and surveillance capitalism)

It's not costly. There's a lot of similar processing already happening, the proxies you mention are not mitm - they're part of the system. Most providers do ignore what you send them about your external caller id - in many cases you don't even know the correct one. Blind forwarding the cid is a bug rather than something people decided to do for cost or other reasons.
> The whole promise of LLVM is that your prog-lang just targets LLVM (so to speak) and doesn't have to worry about specific platforms.

"Platform" in this case mostly means executable format. LLVM is too low-level to be able to abstract away operating system features.

The hard part of porting a project like Crystal isn't generating a valid binary (since LLVM does handle that part well), it's adapting the standard library for dealing with all the places where Windows and POSIX offer different interfaces to userspace - stuff like filesystem semantics, networking behavior, and threading where the system calls can't always be translated in a straightforward way.
