> "There is no place in this world for blatantly false allegations or denying historical evidence"

... I mean, historical evidence changes routinely with the discovery and release of new evidence. And "blatantly false allegations" sometimes turn out to be not so false.

I believe that platform owners have the right to kick assholes off of thier platform (for their version of asshole), but it is tricky business letting third parties be the arbiters of what is true and what is hate.
42% of children born to parents in the bottom fifth of the income distribution ("quintile") remain in the bottom, while 39% born to parents in the top fifth remain at the top.
If you want to dig into this more, this paper has a lot of tables about wealth holdings (and what forms those holdings take) over time and at different strata https://www.nber.org/papers/w24085.

Edit: I think this is the relevant table: https://i.imgur.com/h8Fo8yx.png. If I'm reading it right, this is likely the source of that 84% number. Note the line "Stocks, directly indirectly owned", and the note that it includes retirement plans. I'm guessing this also includes pensions, since that would be a retirement plan. There are many interesting tables in this paper, however.
Hey, I'm the co-founder of Dytto and would like to thank you for your constructive feedback.
As a business developer, I have a bit concern about a lot of CRM solutions have an offer management feature. As you said, I'm looking deeply at other markets to target. Otherwise, we'll be really weak on competitive advantages.

If you have more feedback about the target market or any other business decisions, I'm looking forward to listening to them.
This reminded me of a dialog I witnessed many years ago. One guy was describing how offended he was when people used the term "black", because he considered himself "African American". The other guy, who considered himself "black", loathed the term "African American".

Hate does not exist in words. It exists in the mind of the person using the words. And we can never know what is in that mind without knowing the person on an intimate level. Until we all understand this, all this noisy anger and offense will never end.
The article shows 45% of American households have a pension plan that's invested in stocks.
LHC smashes protons together, and for comparison the rest mass (energy) of a proton[1] is just shy of 1GeV.

So that's still 4 orders of magnitude below the collision energy of the LHC.

Because in a new domain, you don't know which pieces to tug at to lead to success and which not to. When you try something and fail, you don't retrospectively identify which parts of your attempt led to that failure. So instead of a clear nuanced picture like "do X.1 never X.2...sometimes X.3 simultaneously with X.4", you've just trained yourself to predict "If I do X, I'll likely fail."

You need something to point out which bits of X to pay attention to. Thats why teachers are valuable -- the indicate where to pay attention.

does anybody know how to properly secure the the DNS server from replay attacks with iptables.

i have a pihone running on a cheap vps on internet, but i connect to it with a vpn and that's draining my smartphone battery. i want to be able to change only the dns settings and point to my pi-hole. but at that time the recommendation was to not run the dns part on the internet because it could be used for dns replay attacks. i found some iptables rules on the net at time but was not sure are they ok. i did not want the ip address blacklisted because i was running some other services on that server.
Artificial vanilla tastes about the same in blinded taste tests.
Oh sure. But that's the case with all software I can think of. And there was a lot more of these things in SysVinit than systemd.

I am not saying it's perfect. I am just saying it is generally better than what came before.
I don't see this as THE next major phase of macOS development. Reason being Samsung Dex already does this with HDMI cable. Current design mentioned in the application pairs phone in a socket. This gives a problem when you want to upgrade either the phone or laptop.
However, this type of pairing a powerful phone with a dumb display we are going to see more often. not in the way apple depicted here though.
We have 3 orders of magnitude more computational resources than back then...

There is something very wrong with IDEs and complex applications these days.
Molecules are much lower density than black-holes. If an object were infinitely small, it would never be hit by physical collisions. If it were infinitely massive it would never be affected by them.

I would have thought that any model of a black hole in this scenario essentially approximates one of those conditions.
It's probably not that difficult to get a really, really narrow patent on some aspect of how the thing is designed, etc. So it might be something with pretty restricted scope or something fairly easy to work around?

Missiles are similar weapons may be useful against other countries (remember Vietnam, however), but they will not stop revolts inside the country itself. What would the US government do if 80% of the city of New York decided to turn against the government? Throw an atomic bomb in the city? Their time may be running out.

No, just that distributing the current form of your app (requiring update after X months) to a few sites may generate
potential customers and should also provide plenty of feedback from those users.
I do find it useful to actually watch a novice user trying to use an app without my immediate assistance.
You can learn a lot by doing so, some of it may be useful!
I don't know what the patent process is in Apple, but I've been part of the patent process at other large tech companies in similar spaces to Apple. They tend to have patent comittees that have senior staff from across the organisation. A patent is complex in terms of its value, on the one hand the organisation must be seen to file enough patents to hit their targets and look 'innovative' (spoiler: no patents are innovative) but any patent costs a tonne to go through the lawyers. There's also a non-trivial bonus for filing a patent (those good at gaming the system- oh sorry, no I mean the most innnovative engineers- can double their salary using patents).

I find it very difficult to understand how this patent would've escaped Apple's internal processes as anything other than an attempt to confuse poeple or as a defensive patent. For me, I think the defense explanation makes the most sense, Apple doesn't want to be in a position where a method of plugging an iPhone into a macbook is patented by anyone but themslves. No need to worry that the iPhone is actually thicker than the laptop they think it's going to fit inside.
Agreed. I'd be interested in knowing if the perceived slowness is due to the number of layers of abstraction involved in aspects of the build process, that might also be used in the IDE figuring out what to include.

I remember when "android" IDE was a plugin for eclipse... Now it seems to be a deeply integrated plugin for IntelliJ, coupled with an infinitely more complex build system (gradle), that has a fairly high fixed overhead to run for anything, and which seems to need to download 100 MB worth of code from a server for itself.

Maybe we need to try get back to overall system designs where one good engineer can have the full design in their head? I suspect the slowness of the IDE has something to do with the complexity of the tooling, and the need to call the native tooling to figure out include paths, to enable features like search or finding definitions. But surely it shouldn't be this bad?
You can get a Google Sheet in JSON format just by adding alt=json to the URL. What do you do differently?
Right, but:

> A whopping 84 percent of all stocks owned by Americans belong to the wealthiest 10 percent of households. And that includes everyone’s stakes in pension plans, 401(k)’s and individual retirement accounts, as well as trust funds, mutual funds and college savings programs like 529 plans.
Yes, and particularly the way light reflects off of different materials is often still in the uncanny valley. Perhaps ray tracing will finally get us there in the next few years.

Per client blocking is clearly the biggest change. I am excited about this.
Doesn't CF with dry-run enabled help with some of the compile-time validation?
LispWorks Common Lisp. I have always liked Common Lisp better. LispWorks costs $3400 and Racket is obviously free.

I usually recommend Racket when someone, at least right now, wants to learn Lisp. Racket is an effective gateway drug to the Lisp world :-)
It looks like the C++ version always does the copy, regardless of whether or not the optional is empty, whereas Rust only bothers copying if there's anything there.

Is this a remnant of #[inline] on Option's Clone impl methods?

With "larger" types (e.g. an optional several-GiB array) it seems like this could save some time depending on where things are in memory.
It's mostly the latter. Looks like 32% have 401(k) plans and 13% have pensions. They may not have a big share of the total market cap, but a stock market crash would blow up a lot of retirement planning.
It is a bit confusing why developers are still expected to implement entire UIs themselves. Almost every app today that's not a game uses the same exact layout: tables and grids. As a mobile app developer I could save so much time by having the OS ask me what I want to put in these tables or grids, rather than having to implement the UITableViews and ListViews verbatim in almost every single project.

Since we're on this topic: Why is there still no native user login/registration widget? Why can't the user just press a button to have the OS autofill and save all of their information across all of their apps?

I know someone is going to say you can already do this, but the truth is, you still can't do it reliably enough to make it the first option. Sure, password manager extensions are supported by the OS, but I still have to go through whatever native interface my password manager wants to show me before I can get close to having a form filled out. In most cases, for most form fields, I am not prompted to fill anything out unless I'm in a web browser. It's a massive waste of time and developer energy considering these forms almost universally require the same input: name, profile icon, email, password.

> Passing off the results of this model as "science" is risible.

Unfortunately, that's been true for 90% plus of all the science to date on this pandemic :(

Reading some of these papers and thinking of how merciless I'd be if I were their peer reviewers... then seeing people treat them as absolute truth... it's depressing as hell.
Adding VR to the mix should be even more valuable to you. They said they intend to support VR eventually in FS2020.
Have you read the CARES act? Pretty much all of the freely given out money goes out to citizens directly through checks/increased unemployment or indirectly by paying for payroll. The other handouts are for things like healthcare. The rest is mainly in loans that will get payed back.
> Now if it could just filter out YouTube ads...

Ive heard that the problem is that the native YT apps come with a big list of IP addresses for the ad servers, instead of doing lookups.
The way I've described it, and someone working in tech patents confirmed, is that you patent to the point that it's a Mexican standoff between all the players.
> Making jokes about sensitive things (i.e. comedian in Quebec fined $30 000 for making joke about a man in a wheelchair)

I feel like many people do not know about some more of the context. Essentially the fine was in terms of damages, as in those jokes fueled bullying from many of his classmates.

Personally I feel that this is more properly part of a conversation about the boundaries of defamation rather than the boundaries of free speech.
> Giving antidepressants to someone who has ADHD with depressive symptoms (without treating the ADHD, i.e. it's undiagnosed) generally doesn't alleviate the depressive symptoms.

You have captured my point exactly.

> Clinical Depression is a state of depressed mood without clear cause.

Sure. It is easy to have a depressed mood without clear cause if you just fail at identifying the cause.

io_uring_get_probe() needs v5.6 at least.
That doesn’t sound right. A hundred million requests would cost $350 a month just in API Gateway charges.
> Talks are purely evaluated on content, not speaker nor the speaker's attributes in any way.

Personally, I think one problem with evaluating talks purely on written proposals is that the process misses out on whether a submitter is able to attract the audience's attention, and to convey their points within the allocated time.

Written proposals can be heavily edited; talks on stage (especially if there isn't a rehearsal beforehand — most conferences wouldn't have the resources to do this) can't.
I don't really understand the argument against something like jekyll. There is no special styling as of now anyway so why would jekyll need any?
> I wish the team did away with Dr Racket... It does have some unique features but I feel like it adds megabytes to the whole package

Just download the 'Minimal Racket' build instead. ~10MB instead of 100+

> I suspect Racket would be a lot more popular as a development environment if the team did away with Dr Racket and put those resources into maintaining a very solid Emacs, Vim and VS Code integration.

I think racket/gui would suffer if they stopped working on Dr Racket, which would be a shame.
I've heard otherwise that this mobility (which nobody denies exists) is about the lowest it has ever been and growing more static. I'm sure some searches about social mobility stats would bring up lots of stuff.

Pollination often has to do with having the right anatomy in the right configuration on bee and flower. Orchid species (like vanilla) in particular often have this single species coevolution trait for whatever reason.

One theory might be that the higher specificity would lead to better firtilization rates when one kind of bee sticks to one kind of flower.

The first version of https://makersupv.com/ was made with Google Drive as well:

- There was a spreadsheet with the list of articles and some meta-information such as publication date, "published" flag, etc. This was then extracted with https://github.com/franciscop/drive-db on a Node.js backend.

- Then each article was written as a single google docs document, so we could edit them collaboratively.

Meta: The front-end was built with https://picnicss.com/, which is a library I also created for this project.
This is cool. I feel like this has implications in metaprogramming, code generation, state machines, interposition, and stuff I haven't thought of.

Or, he could have taken a step back, let the media do its thing, and then come back in a few months with his own view. This is actually the strategy many PR firms suggest, because it suggests moderation and makes people more likely to have cooled off and become ready to forgive. But he didn't do that, because his aim wasn't self-preservation, it was to grandstand. So he got what he got.
Doesn't this depend on the company? Demand for agriculture, petroleum, and financial services (among many other things) are fairly inelastic. People are going to consume all of that stuff regardless of how financially well-off they are.

So let's review where we are right now. C++ left the entire thing undefined, which gave compilers the complete freedom to add flags that define e.g. wrap-around or trapping or other behavior. I suggested you can use such flags if you want. You complained about that and said it's "changing" language semantics... despite the fact that it's 100% consistent with the "rules of the language". You even went on to claim "we don't do that in Rust". All right. So I pointed you to a Rust compiler flag that changes the default wrap-around to a panic. Now you're saying that's not changing Rust's language semantics... and your defense is "it's consistent with the rules of the language"...?!
