whenever I was anxious and tense, I would forget names immediately. When I was younger, I was anxious and tense pretty much all the time.

As I age, I both get calmer (peace) as well as don't give a shit (cynic). I think these both help me remembering names.

> Putin and Gaddafi (before his death) have both been estimated to have 200 Billion in wealth.

This seems pretty unlikely. Putin has certainly done well being a corrupt leader, and probably has control over $200B, but I doubt he has holdings that reach anywhere near that level.

Gaddafi having that much money is a bit of a joke. It would require him having many multiples of the entire country's GDP in his own personal account. Perhaps theoretically possible, but hard to believe without better proof.
I don't know Gluon (from a quick glance, it looks similar to Haskell and ML). But I do not think it will help much. Nix is a small, lazy, functional language. Being a lazy functional language, it will be more difficult for people without a FP background. But laziness and purity provides a lot of benefits.

I think the problem is more about documentation and expectations:

- Nix only has a small number of builtins. A lot of useful functions are in nixpkgs. As a consequence, you often have to look in two places to find if there is an existing function that does what you want to do. Added to that, some functions are undocumented and can only be discovered through the REPL or by reading the relevant nixpkgs sources. Then some functions do have documentation, but the documentation is very terse, does not contain good examples, etc. I think things would be clearer if Nix had a documented standard library and nixpkgs would only be focused on providing package derivations and NixOS modules.

- Expectation-wise: I think a lot of people do not expect to have to learn a new language when starting to use a package manager and/or distribution. This leads to treating derivations akin to RPM spec files (which is what I did in the beginning), which becomes frustrating very quickly.

Disclaimer: I am by no means a Nix expert. These are my observations from learning Nix myself since last year.
> The problems that Facebook has created are not solved with EULAs, and Facebook's responsibility on having created this whole mess is not brushed aside by claiming that third parties did not clicked on the right checkbox when downloading Facebook's data.

"Third parties did not click on the right checkbox when downloading Facebook's data" is not even remotely close to what happened. The fact that this perspective is so common is big party of why I doubt many people received coverage of the events that was even close to objective.

Alexandr Kogan was a senior research associate at the University of Cambirdge, and developed a personality quiz app that collected data that he claimed he would use for academic purposes. He subsequently used this data for commercial and political purposes, and when Facebook discovered this they revoked Kogan's app's access and demanded that he delete the data that he had collected. Kogan told Facebook that he had deleted the data when he had not done so. This wasn't third parties not checking the right box, this was a deliberate and involved plan evade Facebook's data use policies.
It's cool how you can kind of see the level if you squint.

I didn't say biometric is required, I said it's normal to have 2fa with friction, an hardware token is just as much friction as TOTP or biometric.

I am surprised your bank is moving to a weaker auth, what does that mean?

I have 3 bank accounts in 2 countries and they all switched to biometric because it's just a simpler experience then the hardware token or "mobile token" they used before.
>That's the extent of what Facebook could have done. If Kogan broke laws - and he probably did - that's the government's prerogative to charge and prosecute him.

No. Facebook is aware of the damage that could have been done. Relying on a party that already breached their terms of use to the data (of FB users) to keep their word is negligence. They should have 1. structured their relationship better so that their is contractual and financial recourse from the third-party and 2. carried out a full investigation into the breach at the time they were notified, not when it was reported by the media.

Also Facebook did in fact breach UK data protection laws and was fined by the ICO for its role in the CA scandal. It was found that their data privacy policies and processes was insufficient. Unfortunately this was before the GDPR and hence the maximum fine that could be imposed was insignificant at £500K.

While I have a lot of critics for Academia in particular regarding code publication or reproducibility or the chase for the next conference paper, this is completely uncalled for.

Their real world constraint is publish or perish, and they do have a timeline: the next conference. And their requirements does not include usability and maintenance.

Also writing a good paper is a long endeavor, often frustrating, sometimes with politics involved.
Because someone who is pushing alcohol on you is not thinking about you. They are thinking about about how they want you to have alcohol, which has nothing to do with you. You do not owe them an explanation about why their plan for you doesn't work for you. To look at it another way, it easier to explain things to someone who is trying to listen.
I've got no "facts" for you, but, and I've said this before here, if Epstein was about to testify in court about organized crime or a murder allegedly committed by a Mafia member no one here would be questioning the idea that he was murdered.

That he was in deep with very, very powerful people for a long time that are in the public eye we now somehow have to apply greater scrutiny to the evidence. Just, gobbledygook.

Perhaps we should realize that there really isn't much difference between the Mafia and generational political families.

> Nix is a small, lazy, functional language. Being a lazy functional language, it will be more difficult for people without a FP background. But laziness and purity provides a lot of benefits.

Many functional languages have lazy evaluation, and they do provide benefits. However, unfortunately, this concept has leaked into other areas of programming. In particular, many database ORMs use lazy evaluation to pull data. In one step, you create a database query, then pass that off to another function or class. Then, when it's off in another package and evaluated the query is made.

The main problem with lazy evaluation of database queries is that it treats a database evaluation like normal code, even though under the hood there may be network access, caching, and if you're not careful duplicative database pulls.

Generally, there should be a rule in programming languages that when you make a network call, the programmer has clear visibility into when that is happening. Hiding it with fancy syntax is more of a negative than a positive.
That's a good point, though Synology (my brand of NAS) claims that they've developed analogous corruption checks operating at the LVM level, so you get the benefits of btrfs (including checksum checks and RAID scrubbing) without having to actually use its RAID implementation.

> I've not talked to Facebook employees personally but I've witnessed the same degree of delusion at other large tech companies. Some are straight-up like a cult with employees willing to defend just about anything their company does regardless of how hazardous it was. Which is even more baffling if one takes into consideration that these are usually salaried employees working there only for a few years with no personal stake whatsoever.

Well I think I can solve this puzzle. It's possible some people disagree with you about how "hazardous" their company is.

They're not "cult-like" or "delusional". They're not willing to "defend just about anything" despite the fact that they are only there a few years.

They just don't agree with you on the amount of hazard their companies are doing.

Note: This is regardless of whether you are in fact right or wrong. But it kind of bugs me that someone not having the same views is branded in such a way, as if somehow clearly you know the truth, so anyone who isn't automatically on your side must be delusional/evil in some way.
Both my parents were alcoholic which led to bad consequences for both of them. It was hard sometimes, but I think it gave me more empathy for people who suffer with addiction. And it made me extremely cautious with alcohol. I may very occasionally drink a beer or a glass of wine but no more than that.

Besides I read a few rock star biographies. One thing that struck me is that from all the addictions they had, alcohol was for most the hardest to overcome. Because alcohol is so pervasive in our society, I think a lot of people under-estimate the risk.
I wonder if this could end up taking more space than the code itself…
I completely agree. It should be a fixed price, incentivizing the driver to take the most efficient route.

I also don’t want my driver to see where I’m going, because not all rides are big fares. Sometimes I must get somewhere close and I don’t want a hassle.

Uber has gotten a lot of bad press lately and I think unfairly so.

What’s worse is Amazon’s gig program. Let’s say your doing jobs like assembling BBQs and Treadmills for customers. They don’t pay trip time to the job, so you can drive 40 miles only to find out half the screws are missing. You must get the customer to request the parts, come back, only to find it’s wrong again.

You take a big hit refusing the job but you have to take all the shitty work to get the chance of a real profitable gig.

Much worse than ride share semantics, IMO.

Anyway - another reason to use Lyft.
I think he intends for you to think he’s a fool for turning down the meals.

I've learned recently, to my astonishment (I've been using Flask for the last 10 years and Bottle briefly before) that both names are puns on the WSGI acronym (which is pronounced "woos-ghee", and sounds similar to "whisky").

In Flask's case, it's indirect, as Armin admitted in the 2011 presentation (http://mitsuhiko.pocoo.org/flask-pycon-2011.pdf): "Wordplay on Bottle, probably a mistake".

My project has a dozen or so libraries, many of which require different and conflicting requests, urllib3, etc., libraries. I have to setup the packages very carefully to ensure the right module gets the right version of its HTTP library and it has generally turned me off to Python HTTP libraries altogether. For my own code, I stick to the basic built-in libraries, regardless of how difficult to use they are.
What worked for me was to take multiple soft drinks at a party after each alcoholic one. You have something in your hand to drink slowly from and it limits your willingness to drink one more alcoholic one.

Flames shot 200 feet in the air and the heat was intense enough to melt part of the freeway and cause the collapse, but the truck's driver walked away from the scene with second-degree burns. No other injuries were reported.

"I've never seen anything like it," Officer Trent Cross of the California Highway Patrol said of the crumpled interchange. "I'm looking at this thinking, 'Wow, no one died — that's amazing. It's just very fortunate."

Internet Communities: Otters vs. Possums (2017)
I saw a similar cookie dialog for the first time the other day.

Some very few people actually want plain text sites, but for most people, what this is saying is "accept our cookies, or we'll punish you by giving you a crappy view of our content".

I recall reading that under the GDPR you're not allowed to refuse service if the user refuses non-essential cookies - this feels like a workaround to force users to accept.

There are of course various other workarounds in place, such as displaying long, fake loading spinners if you click "refuse", or giving you hundreds of toggles to manually click.

The way companies deal with cookies really is a disgrace.
No, many schemes are acceptably fast. Eg isogenies, code based signatures, some lattice schemes, some hash based schemes. The key concern usually stems from the size of the primitive (signature size or public key size)
> The soviet collapse was far worse for russia than ww2 by any measure.

That is literally not true, by a lot. Ww2 hit russia harder then west which was hit super hard. There was whole year of males basically killed (not sure which one, but the ones that were 18 when it all started I think). There were massive atrocities against civilian population, whole areas burned down and all that uncontrolled violence going on along with ethnical cleansing.

What happened is that post ww2, people had children. You lived in communism and people turned into familly instead of to career.

Post communist russia has less children for the same reasons why western countries have less children - you got options if you are ambitious and also need to work if you are not.

> Walk into a store and provide a government ID and the original SIM card.

This is how it works in Poland since September 2019, after some recent SIM-swap attacks. You can swap SIM or get a replacement if stolen only at store showing government ID. It is free of charge with Orange and not always free with T-mobile.

But this has some downsides in real life.

1) I had to walk my 88 yo Mom to the store to swap SIM card.

2) Every clerk at every shop can do that so for a determined criminal it is possible to bribe or threaten one.

3) Virtual operators (MVNOs) usually do not have physical locations and there is a dozen of them.

I'm more just dividing the historical statistics eg.

>commercial airlines in the United States between 2000 and 2010 was about 0.2 deaths per 10 billion passenger-miles

and

dividing gives 19500x per mile. Though I do more miles by air. It's all a bit approximate.

Having read everything in this thread, I think every anecdote here is misattributed.

I for one would happily pay, or at least like to have the option to pay, a risk-adjusted flat fare instead of by-mile. This change will absolutely tilt my default provider to lyft.

Its just nice as a customer to be able to know that a 40$ trip to the airport can't wind up being 140$ if the car gets stuck behind an accident on a bridge (or whatever). I'd much rather round it up to 42 - call it trip insurance. Uber must have enough data to be able to handicap their markets to within 5% or so, and still come out ahead.
The Maze
Yeah no one unironically describes product launches as “orgasmic” (I hope...)
Can one not simply show the driver the price and let them reject if too low? I don't think variable payout is the thing that lets drivers see the price and reject. Besides, if too many drivers are rejecting rides because of pricing, it would allow Uber to set higher minimum pricing and/or wait times.

Variable pricing also doesn't mean the second - it simply limits the amount they take from it. They still have tools like minimum pricing. I'd even say minimum pricing would be more beneficial to drivers and wouldn't seem unreasonable to customers (of course, they might just choose to walk short distances).

Law of Demos (2003)
>Russia was also forced

In my book forced means the result is achieved. Russia did not take responsibility == it wasn't forced to.

Pressed? Yes. But not forced to. And unline Russia Iran didn't have any room to deny it, really. In MH17 case you might have all kind of info that points toward Russia, but still not enough to force it to admit responsibility.

In Iran's case - it was their system (owned by them), operated by their gus, stationed on their territory etc. There is really nothing to deny here. And yet they only confirmed their mistake only after being forced to do so.

PS: also - yes, they calculated this would be better for them in perspective. (again, unlike MH17 case)
This won't be a popular opinion/implementation.

I'm on dot net. And although I can deploy as microservices ( clean architecture with core, application, Infrastructure and api).

I seem to integrate the api into my app ( Eg. Add the api dll). So my app does the provisioning like a monolith.

It exposes all api controllers by default.

Messaging is internal always then ( domain vs Integration).

Overhead is practically none.

If I have a heavy component/api, I can split up an API and put nginx in front of it for routing and nats for Integration Events

So, basically I have a DDD app at the beginning with the strangler pattern already in place for scaling porpose.
Although none of my apps need scaling right now.

I also can do every deployment myself and more easily. Since I don't have a deployment complexity currently.

--

What I don't have, is that my stack is language agnostic at the beginning. But it could be using the same method as scaling, with nginx.

It seems that I have the best of both worlds at the beginning.

- maintainability by forcing DDD

- minimal devops

- testability

- no service mesh overhead ( eg. Consult brings a 30-50ms average overhead, I finish most of my requests in 8-12ms)

- fast development ( slower than monolith, much faster then microservice)

While scaling could be refactored within the day, if an insane amount of request come in ( see: refactoring)

Most microservices are fixed within a single language though. So that's not a concern currently.

The added benefit is, is that I have insane custom implementation options.

I just need to change the Infrastructure in a deployment to use a clients database as a source if a component needs it.

( Eg. An order service for a webshop. I can easily integrate with an clients existing magento for a niche of their shop)

TLDR: I currently don't have a devops overhead. I'm too small for that, I'm glad though.

--

if anyone thinks that isn't a good solution for my use-case ( small dev shop) or have any better ideas. Please share ;)
Facebook could have sued them into oblivion to demonstrate commitment in enforcing their data protection policies instead of relying on their word to delete the data when they broke their word by misusing the data in the first place.
You’re massively misinterpreting what I said.

I am talking about people who have opportunities they don’t take, so the spiel about circumstances is pretty off topic. In my comment I also made no reference to outcomes.
