I'm surely don't believe that he is some exception, i.e. that he was the only one being stupid. As I see it, the presidents (and the prime ministers) represent the sentiment of the system, the power structures and the voters.

The system he and his equivalents across the world represent is based on the premises that it's totally expected to plan spending 1.5 trillion for a single plane, but that preparing for the next epidemics is something not worth doing. To quote why there are already not more resources allocated in, for example, being prepared to produce more vaccines or contain the epidemics before it spreads:

https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/how-long-will-it-ta...

"there may never be a market for a vaccine at the end of the development process, because the epidemic is contained, or never comes to pass. Then, traditionally, if there is an epidemic, it may take hold in a developing country where the costs of research and development cannot be recouped. “The resources and expertise sit in biotech and pharma, and they’ve got their business model,” Grant said. “They’re not charities. They can’t do this stuff for free.”"

The brokenness of the system that results in all that: the 1.5 trillion plane and maintaining the force and the technology to destruct the whole world on a minute notice, but at the same time not being ready to invest in health preparedness because

"it may take hold in a developing country where the costs of research and development cannot be recouped"

is way beyond stupid. The system which intentionally does nothing to prevent the demise of the world, just because some people expect to profit every time the danger occurs. The same people obviously profit every time a 1.5 trillion dollar plane is being made.

Also as I understand US sets the tone for Europe:

A big part of the world does the same stupidities.

Harder is taking control of the GitHub project where the bug tracker lives and people are used to sending patches.
After reading the whole translation linked in the GitHub issue, and being a father of 6 kids who love to make me practice being a judge every day as if I have nothing better to do, I’m convinced the judgment is reasonable. Even in our tiny library parking lot, I very often see people driving unreasonably fast between all the parked cars and the library door, often within a foot of the cars. Even if they are driving within the speed limit, there are constantly people coming out from between cars in a way that they can’t be detected by cars ahead of time, especially young children who don’t have the life experience to know to come out slower. It’s unquestionably dangerous to drive like that, yet I see it almost every single day. One of these days someone is going to get hurt. And in this case it looks like the same circumstances: a bit of reasonable cautiousness could have possibly prevented the driver from not seeing the people apparently laying on the crosswalk. Unless the driver followed every single procedure of the road perfectly, they are at fault to at least some degree. And someone is dead. It’s just a generally awful situation all around and nobody wins.
its still quite expensive though. it's great if you are looking to play the older formats. getting into legacy for 500 dollars is really nice. that said it's hard to justify buying into standard or pioneer on there. the prices are quite volatile and some of the cards are just ridiculously expensive due to the fact that everyone went over to arena. teferi, time raveler for example. it also feels bad to buy a playset of them because it's only a matter of time until they reprint them and the card tanks to 20 dollars or whatever.

arena is nice because you don't have to worry about the secondary market. i would also suggest that if you turn off the sound in game that arena isn't actually all that bad. i say that as a person who's played mtgo since 2012. i agree that draft is bad on arena, but if you want to play standard I actually think it's better.

Not sure I'd trust self-identification to weed out malware..
The US justice system in general is pretty sympathetic to drivers in general, I doubt a case like this would see over a year of jail time here, and likely none at all.
Injection molding - The TOP thing we need to get mass manufacturing going. I just watched NYTimes front page video of Georgia Tech students trying to 3D print their way - it is unbelievably naive to use 3D printing in a situation that needs thousands and hundreds of thousands of parts. It defies common sense and elevates 3D printing to a new buzzwordy things by the media.

Do you have injection molding tools and mold making expertise?
It is confusing as written - the $400k us for the occasional system flush, not per each flush of each sailor. I get that they wanted the word-play, but it would have been clearer to just write “400k for a periodic system flush”, instead of un/intentionally obfuscating it.
Most enterprise networks do this, but you'll have major issues with IoT devices and devices/apps that do certificate pinning. You'll probably have to put those on your guest network... Assuming you have one.
I don’t know man. I’m sorry I don’t know the language, looks like Russian? Or something closely related? But based on the parent comment translation, and the translation on the issue page, I’m not sure we should be quick to condemn this person.

The court report says he was going 60kph. That’s barley over 35mph, a normal speed limit for city streets. So it appears he was not speeding.

If it really was a drunk guy, literally lying down in the road, at night time (!?!), I don’t think anyone could be reasonably expected be able to respond to that in time.

We don’t know, but assuming that is actually how it played out, it doesn’t sound like the driver did anything malicious. He’s lucky he wasn’t killed himself. I don’t think it’s fair to say ” Most countries require greater care at pedestrian crossings.”

We have no idea what the road or crossing looks like. An awfully unfortunate series of events for both parties it sounds like. Very sad.
This exists and is called ResearchGate. I'm not fond of it personally, but many seem to make good use of it.

I'm unclear what you mean by this.
This can also be fixed by fixing what they feed the sailors.
Not a statistic that's great to pass around but I have read that drunk pedestrian walking is more dangerous than drunk driving (to the driver).

Taking an uber is always the move.
Because it becomes 10x or so more deadly when proper care is not available, as is happening in areas where too many people have it at once. Letting this run wild would cripple hospitals. Many NYC area hospitals are already out of ventilators and that situation is just ramping up.

Honestly I could see that happening to me. Some cars have lights that make it hard to see clearly on my side of the road. I wish car windshields could shield your eyes from lights too bright or something. Especially now that cars have these bright LED lights depending on the angle they are as bad as high beams when they pierce your eyes.

I kinda hate driving at night. People can barely keep from getting into accidents in broad daylight imagine at night time.

Consider your qualifications, ('I am a complete noob in this field.') compared to theirs.

Amy Price, DPhil (Oxon) ... earned her Doctorate in Evidence Based Health Care at The University ofOxford.

Larry Chu, MD, MS (Epidemiology) ....

If anyone understands the science, and the limitations of their study, it is themselves and they caveated their conclusions carefully.

Is it peer reviewed? No. But it is the best science we have at the moment.

A noob in the field isn't going to find a hole in two minutes that two serious professionals haven't thought about.
The defendant actually admitted guilt, seemingly readily. His argument was not that he did nothing wrong, but instead that the sentence should be adjusted. Instead of the minimum jail time of 1.5 years, he was asking for the maximum suspension of driving privilege time of 3 years. If jail is for criminal activity and suspension of driving privilege is for poor driving practice, I can see his point. Of course it gets blurry when you have criminally poor driving practice.
Surely you would have gathered that from only reading the title right?

I've walked home drunk from bars more than a few times and I've never experienced any trouble using crosswalks like normal. I'm pretty certain it's much safer than driving home drunk (not that I drive to bars in the first place.)

> When the conduct outside the United States had a substantial effect in the United States or upon United States citizens.

So, as long as you make sure not to affect the US or US citizens, you should be safe from the SEC. However, who knows how broadly this rule will be read. If you don't KYC, you could accidentally affect a US citizen, and I don't see an exception here for that case.

(I don't know if this applies to all SEC rules or just 77q(a), but it seems prudent to assume that if you are running afoul of an SEC rule you be very sure that no US citizen uses your services.)

> I would really love to read about a blameless postmortem that happened in a dying company where everyone was backstabbing each other. Now, that would be a good story!

It doesn't have to be a dying company. Many companies that try to transition from startup -> small company -> medium company -> megacorp tend to run into periods of change and insanity in every one of those transitions. I suspect its one of the reasons why most companies die out at some point: the failure to focus on product and focusing instead on politics. Teams turtle down, avoid responsibility (i.e. blame) at every opportunity, the product turns to shit as nobody wants to move a muscle in case anything breaks.

Yes, but this wasn't a library parking lot. This was a roadway, at night, and he appears to have been going the speed limit. And the victim was lying down on the roadway in dark clothes. And there was an oncoming car with high beams on according to the court findings.

So you think that he should spend 1.5 years in a Russian prison for that? A sentence that may very well ruin him psychologically for the rest of his life? And/or leave him with TB and/or Covid-19? (and here I note that American prisons are not much better, if at all).

A person who believe someone in a position of 'weakness' can be lawfully enslaved is quite literally not a libertarian.

My civil torts would not be based on what ifs (like whether they could have had my job or school place), but on the best approximated wages owed to their ancestors that they ought to have inherited. The money would be paid out via those assets inherited by descendants of slave owners. Many southern plantations are still owned by slaver families and they generate revenue. This revenue is rightly due to the slaves descendants.

I dont have any responsibility for slavery in this country because my family wasn't around at the time and i dont have any inheritance.
Finding a vulnerability in core-js which would highlight it in `npm audit` and then making a fork which fixes such vulnerability is much more ideomatic imho.
This reply is late, so if you don’t see it or care I don’t blame you.

To start, I am aware of Rust and left it out of the above comment purposefully. While Rust does indeed make many ‘functional programming’ idioms available and, some would say, is basically an impure, eager functional language, I don’t tend to view Rust as a language featuring persistent, immutable data structures. I certainly don’t think that is a negative characterization, just how I see things. I find that one of the defining features of the functional programming ‘persistent’ data structure is the structural sharing that is all too frequent in most of the mainline FP languages (Haskell, ML, Clojure, etc.). Rudy’s focus on low level/systems level programming is much more likely to use standard imperative data structures without the sharing and deep pointer chasing style seemingly inherent in FP implementations.

I have had a few spirited web-discussions with people about the claim that Rust has an affine type system. I don’t think that stance is accurate, from a type theoretic stance. I subscribe to the theoretical standpoint that Rust has a standard non-substructural type systems with constraints placed on types that meet a mutability predicate. I think that those constraints are better described as a uniqueness constraint per instance of a type. But the sequent calculus presentations for Rust (especially concerning mutable data) would look very similar and act very similar as well. So really it’s much ado about nothing, just fun to talk about.

Sorry for the wall of text, and rambling about type theory. Stay safe.
Nothing magic, they're just sending a HTTP 302 redirect if they don't see a cookie. If you hit it with wget you'll see two 302s, one of them with the old "Moved Temporarily" text and the other with "Found". I'm not sure why you only get two with wget, possibly user-agent sniffing. Tracing with firefox's dev tools I see an initial JS redirect, but that may be a bug since I've got javascript disabled for medium. Alternatively it's a bug in NoScript and that's not good. Either way they'll toss a 302 with no js at all.
I don't think you want to discourage drunk walking because that will lead to more drunk driving which is a lot more dangerous to other people.
Just because the government has nukes, doesn't mean citizens should have them. The government shouldn't have them, either, but there's not much citizens can do about that outside of revolt.

I absolutely agree with you. Being able to call languages fluff comes from me having tried to build real applications with C, Python, Prolog, Erlang, Haskell, Ada, POSIX shell, AWK, Common Lisp, Perl, R, and so on.

A few thousand context switches per second is minor enough even with spectre mitigations, and if you need more than that you failed the "mild levels of competence" test.
Hardware stores have plenty of electric ovens stocked, it's not like people have been or will be panic-buying them.

Hospitals have ovens anyway, the ones in their cafeteria kitchens if nothing else. But even if that weren't the case, they could just send somebody to a local store and buy one. They could have it purchased, installed and operational by the end of the day.
The key feature of coinbase and gemini is of course that they are following all the regs and are the most trustworthy exchanges out there. The people who want 150x leverage on a shady exchange are not the same customers. I would fathom that they are not even in the 'crypto' space as the history of shady exchanges going belly up (btc-e, cryptsy, bitfinex?) should keep anyone with a half descent memory up at night.
I don’t think anyone is accusing the defender of malice. But it is reasonable to expect that people can at least try to drive cautiously. Especially at night, near cross walks. I’ve seen far too many reckless drivers even in suburban streets, almost always young adults or teenagers, on streets that have kids playing at the edge of their yards. They’re testing Murphy’s law. This isn’t a necessary condition of life. This is preventable behavior. Granted, the solution to preventing it starts when they are young, it starts by instilling discipline and humility and self control in youth before they are sent out into the world. Trying to apply these after the fact is like putting on safety goggles after getting an eye injury.

Edit: To make my main point more simply: when my kids come to me because one hurt the other through carelessness, but they’re defense is that they were reasonably cautious, I would answer them, “it wasn’t reasonably cautious because the outcome was that you hurt someone else in a way I don’t believe I would have because I would be more cautious than you were given the same circumstances.” Driving 35 MPH when it’s marked 35 MPH isn’t as cautious as is reasonable when you add in factors of nighttime, hill, and oncoming headlights (effectively high beams).
No no no. Good Samaritan laws serve the public interest of not having individuals go bankrupt because they tried to help. It doesn't apply to companies and it definitely ought not to apply to government. The government is often sued for things it thought was right. For example, California thought it would be good to sterilize people and was sued for it. They must pay regardless of intent and how it may have been viewed at the time.

It returns a 302 header with this location:

Which then sends another location of:

Which just ends up bouncing you back and forth, unless JS is allowed to percolate through. However, there is some useragent sniffing happening, so the exact set of headers changes.

> I think what makes a great programmer is that they are able to think at a macro-level, thinking about how 'others' will use and apply the code, and making it look deceptively simple.

I don't fully agree. Yes, some programming needs to be done at a meta level, but far from all of it. Sometimes a software engineer is just there to solve a business problem, and in that case what makes them great is efficiently solving that particular problem, and not a meta-problem.

Sometimes shorter code is easier to write, less buggy, and more maintainable than meta code.
> once you have set up your rules for your most frequently used applications, it isn't really an issue

I can second this, also if you're overwhelmed you probably have a lot of garbage applications making too many outbound network requests to trackers and who knows what else which is actually nice to know about. Chrome-based browsers and Electron based apps seem to be particularly awful about this. My HP printer app tries to connect to Google Analytics, Microsoft RDP phones-home before connecting to a session. I really value that kind of insight and enjoy being able to control it.
In brief, most programs these days are position-independent, which means you need a runtime loader to load sections(?) and symbols of the code into memory and tell other parts of the code where they've put it. Because of differences between musl libc and gnu libc, in effect for the user this means that a program compiled on gnu libc can be marked as executable, but when they try to run it the user is told it is "not executable", because the binary is looking in the wrong place for the dynamic loader, which is named differently across the libraries. There are also some archaic symbols that gnu libc describes that are non-standard, which musl libc has a problem with, that can cause a problem for the end-user.

I mean instagram and Spotify have too broad a base.
You wrote this - You can think of a vertical neobank as a checking account + debit card product, focused on a specific customer segment (rather than focused on a broad swath of “consumers”)

I'm wondering if that holds for Instagram as a vertical neobank. But I like your current statement "I think apps that already have a moneymoving financial relationship with some niche, have a real opportunity to serve that niche very well." .

So then do you think Instagram will be a successful fintech ? And I'm wondering why Intuit could not become a neobank without acquiring CreditKarma?
