> It would be an unusual TPP where the data never left the customer's device.

Why? The scenario you mention (providing an unified view of a person's multiple accounts & credit cards) can perfectly be done on the device itself and negates plenty of concerns regarding security, the need for a backend, etc. I personally made an app to display my balance & transactions on my Apple Watch. It's purely local and doesn't even have a backend. Yet, I can't actually launch it "by the rules" because I need to become an AISP even though I never come in contact with actual banking data.

> 3rd parties getting full banking creds for customers.

This is clearly a stop-gap solution until something better comes around, and frankly it isn't the worst solution if you trust the third-party. At least it becomes the user's choice whether to share credentials instead of the bank or some other entity deciding who can and can't have access based on potentially stupid or anti-competitive reasons.

> This guy's Twitter thread doesn't seem like a great defense, because he doesn't make any specific scientific claims.

No one is hiding scientific claims about climate change. It wouldn't be difficult to list scientific claims, but that's not his point. He is complaining that this organization is misrepresenting itself and the nature of its event in order to trick people into attending or appearing to support something they do not actually support.

He doesn't claim that climate deniers' arguments are incorrect because of something about their character or motives (that would be an ad hominem attack). He just doesn't want people to be deceived regarding this organization and its conference.

> More troubling is his claim that they are "weaponizing" reproducibility against climate change. Doesn't that raise a red flag?

No. Why should it raise a red flag? People can invoke the name of true and important criticisms in the defense of beliefs that are incorrect or harmful.

> I'm kind of a believer that people can think for themselves. Let anybody attend anything - if it's a science convention that isn't promoting science it seems like it's not going to get very far, no protesting required.

It seems like this person would agree with you: and that's why he has made an effort to inform people that (in his view) this conference is not promoting science. Moreover, how is this so-called "cancel culture" incompatible with people thinking for themselves? This person can write criticisms about an organization in a Twitter thread. Someone from that organization can write a WSJ article in response. People can and do choose what to believe. This Twitter poster (presumably) does not have the ability to unilaterally cancel anything, nor is there some cultural rule that if his tweets get a certain number of likes then the target of his criticism automatically gets cancelled.

You argument might be okay when you only used social "sciences".

Once you start trying to attack climate change, you lose all your credibility. This is something that has MOUNTAINS of evidence that is quite clear and gets even clearer with the passage of time.
That sounds like it’s worth reporting to the news!

> Why not just raise taxes and provide free college education and job training programs?

With the present system there is no correlation or synchronisation between funding, teaching, outcome and requirement of the society. Raising taxes will not help for this reason. The platform I am proposing removes this disconnect.

> Do trust fund students never need to pay because they never take a job?

The proposed platform diminishes the need for trust funds or any form of funding for students. The whole point of the platform is to make education accessible to students from monetary perspective.

> If a student dies (suppose 20 people in the class of 2024 die in a bus accident), do the teachers make nothing extra?

In the present system too, if a student dies then that stops future "income" from that student to the school. It may not immediately affect the staff, but it does have impact due to loss of income to the school. In the proposed platform, the teachers will not get income from the student who has died but still get income from other students. That normalises things, infact the teacher is better off with the proposed I am proposing.

> This gives a strong monetary inventive to only teach children with a high chance of making money. Who will want to teach poor students?

How can one say with certainty that students who are not good academically will not do better in life. There are many examples where "poor" students have done better than "outstanding" students.

> What about the teachers of special needs children? Some of the more severely disabled are unlikely to ever have a job which pays much money, if at all? Doesn't this scheme punish those teachers?

Yes, that is one area that needs to look into. With the burden of funding reduced from the government and institutions such as trust funds, these entities can then divert their funds to special needs teachers. But I agree that more will need to be done from the proposed platform as well.

> That's not how the funding works. Teachers decide based on overall compensation, and the system can re-balance to compensate.

In the proposed platform there won't be a need to re-balance anything. In fact teachers(infact everyone in the education sector) get cummulatively increasing pay every year.

> Staff and schools will get money from this system, so the school board will reduce other funding.

Again, in the proposed platform the school board does not have to reduce anything. Actually, the whole point of the platform is to tie real outcome to compensation. This will help increase the quality of education as well.
Getting the Best Out of GitHub with Remote Work and PRs
I like old cars because of their limited software and extreme modularity. By "old", I mean early 2000s. I currently drive a 2003 VW Jetta. The car has a computer (obviously), but it's been running the same software since it drove off the factory floor, and its reach is limited. It controls the engine timing, power locks and windows, and other basic features, but that's it[1]. No fancy features that break or are obsolete in three years (my car is almost 17 years old, and the only obsolete thing on it is the tape player, which I still use—I doubt the same will be true of today's cars in 17 years).

This model works well, and if something breaks it's trivial to fix. Also, it means non-modal physical controls for absolutely everything. I've driven newer cars, and there's nothing in them that I miss when I go back to my own car.[2]

--

[1] A lot of functions are controlled by separate hardware modules. The turn signal relays and clicker, for example, are contained inside the emergency flasher button, and swapping it out takes less than a minute. Same for the windshield wipers (relay box under the steering wheel), radio (standard double-DIN), rear-window heater (relay and timer inside the dashboard button), window and lock controller (part of each window motor), and the headlight switch (switch on the dash that physically switches the light circuits).

[2] Not even Apple CarPlay, which I see as largely useless, because my windshield-mounted Garmin GPS unit and a magnetic smartphone mount with a Bluetooth-enabled stock radio does everything CarPlay does, but better.
> Nobody can dare simply sell a game on the iOS or Google Play store for $5 or $10 anymore

Except that's patently false. All you have to do is look briefly on the iOS App Store and you'll find plenty of games for $5+. Sure, there are a lot more that are "free (with in-app purchases)", but the idea that no one can make money in the space is just totally absurd.

Furthermore, even if what you said was true, it would not be a genuine example of what the previous poster was describing, because people are still making money off those freemium games. What the other poster was describing was prices going through the floor, no one being able to make money in that space, and the entire industry drying up and blowing away.
The country and nation are synonyms. You mean to say "don't be a bigot toward a people". Trying to fractionate the discussion between the innumerable number of differing outlooks when speaking about a nation, is not practical or constructive. A nation is a reflection of the people within it, even if it doesn't reflect exactly what an individual or set of the people believe. The enlightenment laid this out. Sort out your administration, you can proselytize about simpler topics, like environmentalism and expect to be understood clearly. Until then, Brazil as a nation, sucks in too many ways to mention.

When people bring up the technicalities of freedom of speech it really helps if all the technical aspects is mentioned. Freedom of speech, as part of the US constitution, only defines how governments may behave. For private institutions and companies located in the US there is a very related law called anti-discrimination. When a company refuse service based on religious, political or other protected classes (defined by federal law and each individual state), people may think in terms of free speech but the technical correct term is then anti-discrimination.

In the EU however the term freedom of speech can be used as the EU declaration of human rights does not define governments.

To give an identical analogy, a bartender can not kick you out if they notice that you are Jewish. They can kick you out if you are harassing people, but they can end up in court having to explain themselves and present evidence that the refusing of service was not done on the basis of disagreeing with peoples views and beliefs.
> Python is dynamically typed and weakly typed, but still typed.

People who claim that dynamic typing is a thing claim that Python is strongly typed. (This is of course nonsense; there's no such thing as dynamic typing, because types are by definition something that expressions in a language have, not something that runtime values have).

> There's a nice explanation here: https://existentialtype.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/dynamic-lan....

That is not a "nice explanation". It is writing to obscure rather than to clarify. And it certainly acknowledges that one cannot have differently typed values in a dynamic language.

This is a sham. You need to go through a certification process which costs $$$ before you can get access to those APIs even if the banking data is processed locally, which will only empower the incumbents while locking out open-source solutions and indie developers (remember that a lot of tools & products we use started as someone's side-project; this regulation locks those out by default).

At least with credential sharing & screen-scraping nobody can lock you out. Does it suck? Yeah. But I'd rather take a solution that sucks than no solution at all.

Did you ever check after 1.0 was released? In the earlier days it was a lot of problems with packages. Totally agree. JIT compile times are much better now.

A lot of the issues are simply that people have not learned a sensible workflow with Julia. Python guys have a lot of habits that don't translate well to Julia. I know because I work daily with two hardcore python guys. I notice all the time how we approach problems in very different ways.

Python guys seem to love making lots of separate little programs they launch from the shell. Or they just relaunch whole programs all the time.

In Julia in contrast you focus on packages from the get go and you work primarily inside the Julia REPL. You run Revise.jl package which picks up all the changes you make to your Julia package.

I guess it just depends on the workflows you are used to. For me it is the opposite. Whenever I have to jump into our Python code base I absolutely hate it. It is very unnatural for me to work in the Python way. I also find Python code kind of hard to read compared to Julia code.

But I know Python coders have the opposite problem. Basically Python guys look a lot at module names when reading code. Julia developers look more at types. The difference makes some sense since you don't really write types in Python code.

I found that the new Python type annotation system helped me feel at home in Python.
Just the emphasis on banking in particular. "Don't use it" is good advice. The banking element struck me as potentially hinting at crypto in particular, though I agree they may have just chosen a particularly sensitive area as an example.

If someone came up with novel and valid research that disputes some specific claims of climate change I'd wager the research would have a difficult time being published and the author would be considered to be a denier.
As I see it there are two properties of a networked system this can possibly enhance: (1) predictability, and (2) a reduction in overall latency. On the former it is only a small part of any goal or guarantee of total predictability. On the latter we should note that it is of significantly decreasing importance as bandwidth increases, which Ethernet enhances greatly, particularly on low node systems with relatively low bandwidth requirements, which covers most industrial deployments. Therefore it's sort of a 'meh' feature outside of specific requirements.

Except I doubt it would ever have happened. Germany would have struggled mightily with Russia. Likely Germany and Russia would have fought each other to some sort of standstill.

Those things were not proven false by simply exposing the supposed political influence in the practice of science! The validity of a scientific theory does not depend on the political influence of the institutions that researched or proposed the theory. They were proven false and replaced by better scientific theories.

I have a mixed position on this. Considered in isolation, the UK's API regulations are a spectacular boon for customers.

Considered in the context of the rest of the UK's regulatory environment (porn filters, etc), it seems plausible that the UK gov's push for bank APIs is less about being kind to their citizens and more about undermining cash and pushing all financial activity onto infrastructure that's easily accessible to a surveillance state.

I'd like to have tech like this in America, but I don't think we have the spine on any front. We aren't willing to hardball businesses on timeline/featureset (for example: the partial and late rollout of chip/pin in the US), and we aren't willing to write legislation that protects citizens from abuse and creates punitive structures that make abuse of citizen data by companies an economically irrational act.

In light of that, I wonder if shitty APIs are the lesser of two evils.
>> If I work on my own business alone, I won’t have co-workers until I hire them.

There's another, more subtle issue. If you aren't sitting on a million-dollar seed round, there's a _huge_ energy gap between working alone and hiring someone, even for a consultancy, never mind some kind of product effort on which you work for a year before you get any revenue.

This is in part because of the additional taxes you have to pay if you're no longer flying solo, and in part because of demands on your own time. Say you're doing something solo and you're super strong technically and can do what you do very efficiently. It's pretty easy to generate a ton of revenue working in this way. It's also much easier to tolerate gaps or reductions in revenue - you could just work on your own stuff and continue to pay yourself from past revenues. Say, now, you want to grow, and hire people. But you can't just hire people. Now you have to pay for their benefits, pay unemployment insurance, etc etc. Moreover you have to manage them, which will reduce your own "technical" throughput to basically zero. I've done a back of the envelope, and for me it doesn't make sense to have fewer than 10 people in my employ, since I can't skim enough off the top to justify my own loss of productivity. And 1 person solo LLC vs a 10 person company are vastly different companies in terms of business operations (especially bizdev and sales), taxation, and regulation.

I'd theoretically like to grow at some point. But I don't know how to do it in a sustainable fashion as a consultancy.

Being (overly) fiscally conservative, I would not feel comfortable hiring for a more product-oriented business either unless it demonstrates traction and upward trajectory. $1k/mo is not what I'd call "traction".
I don't think that is given. If Germany had sent massive forces towards Russia and there had been no war in the west, France and Britain would have been free to launch a major assault on Germany while German troops where tied down in Russia.

They war could very well have ended sooner.

While there are outstanding single player narrative experiences leveraging the format to further the narrative, there's nothing like a good TV show or movie for joint attention.

When enjoying a narrative with friends or a loved one many people will not want to pause to argue furiously over what dialogue choice to make or how to deal with a moral dilemma.

Games are a fantastic medium. But there have limitations, just as every other medium does.
