I stopped because the quality went way down. I used to get real hosts and now it’s mass scaled corporate rentals without a front desk to go talk to. Hotels at least have a front desk to go get help from and they are consistent in quality.
I understand they already did (the same order mentions it) and they were denied. Of course, they could appeal I presume.
Right, the benefit of using IRC is that you don't have to write the server; there are dozens of well-known, actively-maintained free-software servers, they're well-documented, and they already support epoll and kqueue and have reasonable ways of handling all kinds of pathological network conditions. But maybe a simple asyncio-based event loop, or even threads, would be fine for itsalive.
The US Military has no real oversight, and to question it is to have one's patriotism questioned. It's beyond vexing.

> Is there effort to reduce complexity with the language or does it mostly embrace it?

You're right that it isn't a "simple" language (in the Rich Hickey sense of the word). And I don't think there's any effort to actively simplify it.

However, I do expect the rate of complexity growth to taper off fairly soon. Every feature that gets added to Rust is added carefully and with a clear vision in mind. Up until now they've still been building out the foundations of what most people will need when using Rust in different contexts. Recently a lot of this has been ergonomics (like async/await). But I think the rate of features being added is an S-curve, and I think we're nearing the top. Given that, I have hope that it won't follow the same path as C++ in terms of sprawl; it's certainly not as complicated as C++ yet, and if it doesn't keep growing at this rate, I don't think it will become that way.

Part of why C++ is so complicated is that it's had to tack-on decades of language advancements, after the fact, as they were invented/became prevalent. Heck, C++ itself is already a tack-on of C. There wasn't a clear initial vision for the past couple decades of "stuff".

Rust, on the other hand, a) has those decades of ideas to incorporate from the outset in a cohesive way, and b) was started from scratch, not an extension of an existing language. This has so far meant a much clearer sense of vision and big-picture design. These features were made to work together; the roadmap was fairly clear from the beginning.
Yeah, that's really something that feels like it should be a part of the language, because it would be so useful!
I've actually got a working set of bindings to AppKit/UIKit that I'm trying to get to a release-able point. They run fine on both macOS and iOS; for the former I've also got decent support for sandboxed environments.

My goal is to write all my stuff in Rust, because I am sick and tired of writing products for the Apple ecosystem and then having to rewrite them if I want them outside of it.

I don't enjoy writing browser-wrapped applications (though they have their place, let me be clear...). I don't want to write in C just to be able to compile anywhere. IMO, Rust is the future.

/end fanboy-ism I suppose
This is basically that but in the opposite direction. It also has the advantage of being able to express validations that you can't express in the type system.
> this country spends too much of people's money and attention on this nonsense

Are you also against TV, movies, video games, reading fiction, etc.? God forbid people spend their money on entertainment. I'm not even a basketball fan, but I can recognize that your comment is absolutely ridiculous.

> can get into a college with zero brain power just for being tall

Basketball is a lot more than "being tall"...
Free will is a terrible name for it, and arguably inherently contradictory, like "involuntary fasting": it's a synonym for an uncaused cause.

What's lost in the process of burning that strawman, is that we can't ever have perfect knowledge of our environment or our nervous systems; and in a seeming paradox of determinism, a being who believes they have agency will behave differently than one who does not. Even if one accepts the model that we merely rationalize our subconscious choices (an imperfect model with some non-zero truth), the data from the outcome of that choice still feed into one's neural network and influence future choices, making the "free will software stack" a potentially valuable psycho-technology.

As a practical matter, I'm intrigued by the model that what we experience as consciousness, and the feeling of agency, really only has one knob to turn: what tiny fraction of our massive neural information network we orient the spotlight of our attention towards. That singular "decision" point, navigating what Buddhist cognitive scientist John Vervaeke calls the "salience landscape", has incredible potency on its own, iterated moment after moment for the entirety of a human lifespan.
The government consists of three independent branches of which one is the judiciary. You can’t compare this to a company which is basically a dictatorship.

Seems unreasonable to want a world of control and yet escape being controlled by it.
I agree with that. We have not been looking into enterprise applications much yet. The main limitation of using self-contained software is it would be dependent on hardware specifications (especially GPU) and can pose significant limitations and a lot of complexity.

What are best examples of well-structured open source products to learn from?
Hello,

I am working on a product and I would like to get a glimpse on how do teams structure their code, and how do they organize their thoughts with respect to code/stack/production pipeline (e.g. [RASA](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa)).

Sinece we are two engineers developing a product, with humbled experience, we would love to see more eye-opening examples that help acquire best practices. Examples can be e-commerce application, preferably a running pipeline in production.
I 100% believe every anecdote you just presented. I'm sorry that those things happened, especially when unpunished. As you said, cops are just people. Most people are okay. Some are heros, some are monsters. Weeding out the monsters is notoriously difficult, especially when a profession like law enforcement has definite appeal to them. It also appeals to the heros.

I can give anecdotes about friends who are cops that risked their lives to save strangers, even the bad guys. I know more than 1 cop who arrested a guy, and had the suspects family thank them for how they saved their life in the process.

I can also bring up anecdotes about how people who were so passionate about security were also criminals hiding criminal deeds. I could assume, and assert, that since I've personally seen people use their phones' security to hide evidence of murder, and infant rape, that all people who care about their phones' security are the same.

But that'd be a disservice. It'd be a disservice to those who legitimately care about security for legitimate reasons, because freedom is important, and fragile. It'd be a disservice to others who aren't sold on either side of the discussion. And it'd be a disservice to myself in that it makes me seem very narrow minded and narrow viewed. Its letting fear overcome observation.

There are 700,000 cops in America alone. Undoubtedly some are unqualified garbage. Some are malicious monsters. Some are believe the ends justify the means. Some are paragons of truth and justice. Some aren't malicious, or dumb, but only care about their careers and are shortsighted with all else. We can't make sweeping statements either way, it does nothing to help.

There have undoubtedly been cases of cops using rubber hose decryption. There have been warrants falsified intentionally and unintentionally.

But cops wanting to be able to execute search warrants on phones isn't as simple as "We want more power, more control". There are countless legitimate cases of human trafficking, murder, and sadly worse. We, as a society, have to figure this stuff out. We have to find the balance between "Give us all your secrets" and "Do whatever you want without question".

But we can't have this conversation to find the balance, until we admit that we are on a scale.
Well, yeah, but go to a restaurant in Korea and everybody thrusts their spoons and chopsticks into shared side dishes and soup bowls. That must count for something. :/
You should be able to answer the basic questions, but you shouldn't need years of professional experience with something to feel like you can list it without a "learning " prefix
The US dollar was at one point backed by a gold and silver standard, meaning that you could always go redeem the cash for a specific amount of the metal. After the Great Depression the US moved away from the standard, backing the money with the faith in the US government.

This is why each note has “Backed by the full faith and credit of the United States” printed on it.

Italy is not admitting anyone over 65 or with comorbitidities to the ICU due to lack of space. That's not something you can hide in any open society. Nor is senior politicians dying like happened in Iran.

For whatever reason Italy and Iran are doing much much worse than any other country. My WAG is the wide spread use of masks in Asia is the biggest differentiating factor.

I've had bad experiences with multiple Airbnbs including:

- showing up at night with the key not in the agreed location, and not being able to contact the owner until the next day
- showing up and someone else was already in the unit
- a webcam was plugged in and placed on the bedside table with no warning
- conditions in the unit were significantly worse than those shown in the photos

All these listings had great reviews. Airbnb needs to make some real changes or they will lose further trust among customers.
Yup, this is why I'm using hotels more now. Too many random problems, hosts who are in another country when I'm trying to solve issues, and accommodations that are often inconsistent with what was portrayed in the listing.

With all of these factors I really need a good deal for it to be worth the hassle
In the beginning it was nice, you could actually meet interesting people. Now it mostly feels anonymous and impersonal, often you end up sharing an apartment with two or three other tenants and the landlord doesn’t even show up once. I prefer hotels now, price-wise the difference to AirBnB isn’t very large.
I look forward to that!

It's definitely possible to wrap `io-ts` to get a better interface, especially if you spend some (or rather, a LOT) of time figuring out the type declarations...
But of course there is another player who had a bad tournament or whose team didn't make the tournament that dropped from a first round pick to a second round pick based on another player rising.

I'm basically trying to answer this question: Is there a player who is talented enough to play in the NBA, but won't get that chance because the NCAA tournament is cancelled. The answer is no. If the player is on the bubble they'll likely get a G-League contract and if they excel in the G-League they'll get a shot in the NBA.

If they drop from the first round to the second round, they'll still get a chance. Obviously a good tournament or bad tournament might chance draft ordering and short term compensation, but the average NBA salary is ~7 million dollars. A million dollars here and there isn't going to make a difference if the player is truly NBA caliber.
Everything old is new again. Superdeterminism is basically the concept that everything follows from the initial conditions of the universe in a deterministic fashion. In short, it's a clockwork universe below the quantum level. It is compatible with Bell's theorem because it's not local hidden variables, it's global hidden variables--i.e. the state of the entire universe.

The problem is, according to my current understanding, superdeterminism cannot be tested.

Funny how many people think "they were too slow with testing" - do any of these commentators have any idea how long it takes to develop a reliable, sensitive and hopefully specific test for a virus that probably didn't exist in its current form until around 3 months ago. Oh, and then also to be able to make a production line capable of producing millions of them while maintaining quality - why not criticize them for not yet developing an effective antiviral treatment and vaccine for the condition too?

I am a cigar guy and have been for year. I also know what it's like when someone who doesn't smoke tries a strong cigar for the first time. I was once at my favorite cigar bar on Canal Street, talking with the owners as I usually did, when I saw some large men walk into the humidor. They were all WWE wrestlers.

The owner asked me to go help em out, so I walked in with them and they asked me what was the strongest cigar they had. I paused and then asked them about their experience level with cigar smoking. All of them rarely ever smoked and for some it was a first time thing. One of the guys had recently "won" the world title and they wanted to celebrate his good fortune.

I had to tell them that I wouldn't recommend the strongest to them, that's crazy if you haven't built a tolerance, and that if they felt nauseous, to stop smoking and eat something sweet. I instead pointed out a medium bodied, medium strength cigar and sent them on their way.

About an hour later two of them were sitting at the bar eating butter mints out of a dish with their heads in their hands.

Nicotine will mess you up.
They did, as part of that order those challenges were denied. No idea if they can appeal that bit. IANAL.
I should point out that there's nothing in Zod (yet) that isn't expressible in Typescript. I'll eventually get around to doing string/numerical validations (`.isEmail()`, etc) that go beyond TS but currently all functionality has an equivalent in TS.
> That means their infection rate is nearly 10x higher than the U.S.

No, it probably doesn't. It probably reflects the fact that we're not finding folks, because we're not testing enough.

Ohio's (Republican, incidentally) governor, for example, is stating that their five confirmed cases likely indicate 100,000 undetected in the community so far: https://twitter.com/GovMikeDeWine/status/1238177953126604801
Yeah, but they've also been able to significantly slow the spread, growing at what looks to be closer to 10% day-over-day (doubling every week). Most everywhere else is seeing 25-35% (doubling every 2-3 days).
So COVID-19 ended all IPO hope?
I find that I rarely touch the most complicated parts. Sure, it has a rich type system with all kinds of magic you can do with generics and such, but if you’re just making an application you often don’t have to futz with it. You can also often get away without even providing a type. If you’re working on deep data structures and libraries it gets more complicated, as it should. It’s a language that allows you to specify the behavior of your program quite precisely, and in many cases you don’t have to worry much. Little things like allowing a clone here or there when it isn’t a tight loop go a long way towards simplicity.
the point I was making, really, is that media sites exist to make a profit, not to inform, while government-funded sites purely exist to inform.

There's a lot of money to be made from scaring people.
This is very surprising for a country like Germany, which has a long history of providing public services for the common good, rather than profit oriented motives.

On the other hand, a comparably developed country like Australia is seeing many essential services being privatised, but the weather service rightfully remains a sacred government entity, with a high amount of public trust. http://www.bom.gov.au/app/

> With the BOM Weather app you can check the weather—wherever you are—from Australia's official weather source, the Bureau of Meteorology.
You are correct, though though actually more complex than this.

1. Death from complications takes some time. You won't really know the real numbers until enough time has passed for the serious cases to resolve one way or the other.

2. Treatment makes a difference. Odds of death increase dramatically when treatment is not available.
Azure also offers ephemeral OS disks that can speed up OS perf. This probably won't make any difference in a database test (unless they store their data ephemerally too, which...). But still, another thing to consider.
The problem isn't so much the lack of free will (that's accomplished by plain old determinism), but by the extraordinary lengths that the universe has to go through in order to make the super part happen.

In a Bell test experiment, it's not just that the outcomes were predetermined, but that the brains of two experimenters, and their experimental setups, were configured in a very precise way to make them choose measurements that would yield compatible results. That is, it's not so much that you didn't really get to make a choice, but that it took such a complicated configuration in order to bring about a fairly simple result.

And since you can't know the entire configuration of a brain, you've really just replaced the randomness with a mystery box. Instead of "John chose freely to set the experiment to up/down", all you get is "John was fated from the beginning of time to set the experiment to up/down -- a thing I learned by watching John set the experiment to up/down". Instead of randomness or free will, all you get is a sage nod after the fact, "Yes, so was it foreordained in the before-times."

It's not impossible. I'm not even really sure it's implausible. It's just that it doesn't seem to inform anything.
Because there are already too much info on Twitter. No?
Don't German citizens pay for this information through taxes? Is this different from forbidding citizens from using the police instead of private security companies because they're providing security services "for free"?
This seems like a bad outcome for consumers. I don't the context in Germany, but in my opinion: weather information should be a public service available to everyone for free.

Commercial providers can provide alternatives with features that people are willing to pay for. For example: better UI, push notifications when it's about to rain (as Dark Sky does), morning push reminders to take an umbrella if the day is looking rainy, etc.
That seems more like evidence that humans believe they have free will than evidence that they actually have it.
Not really. Having a device send video frames to the cloud basically kills the deal for me. If you did something to the video first... maybe. Let's say you train a model to process video. You come up with a network where the first few layers are fixed and they perform a non-reversible transform of the video into some sort of symbolic representation. I might sign up for that. I want to know that my video/audio feed isn't being used by a 3rd party, and that it isn't being used by you for something other than the intended purpose(i.e. to model my behavior to sell me things, to create profiles of my activity, etc). I understand that my first proposal doesn't actually address all of those concerns, but I am willing to trade privacy for convenience to a very limited degree.

I'm basically working on something like this for myself. I have a Nvidia Jetson Nano that I'm trying to train to tell me when my garage door is open without my wife or I present, when my laundry is done, and whether or not the lights are on.
