It looks the info you want is in at least each of first 4 results on ddg. Specifically the 1st ddg result for me is a stackoverflow post with the question showing how to pass individual arguments and the answers explaining how to pass a variable number of arguments. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3811345/how-to-pass-all-...) I would say ddg gave better results.
Fragile, because corporations that have millions or billions in cash flow don't have the kind of savings to keep people staffed and make debt payments. No, we little people are supposed to "save for a rainy day" and flood the stock market with our 401ks while big business gets to grow grow grow, make little to nothing in profit, and bolster stock prices with corporate debt.

This isn't just about big business. Small businesses notoriously operate on very thin margins. Though that's not necessarily because of debt, but because what it takes to run a business today takes a considerable amount of overhead.

I know that the idea of saving money seems cliche, like some obsolete thing your grandpa might say, but we're going to have to wake up to the fact that if we want to finance everything with debt then we're going to be penalized every 10 years when there's an adjustment or a catastrophe that forces one.

The catch 22 there is that using less debt also means less growth, and we've all gotten used to unprecedented amounts of growth.

Do you think it is okay for Hacker News to censor and rank content based on their own agendas? Shadow ban and prevent users from posting? This post is literally complaining about something that Hacker News does frequently. I couldn't even respond to this comment for over two hours with a message saying:

> You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks.

This is what they do to people that don't follow their agenda. All the while, you can't even respond to comments on your own comment.
Not to be too spammy, but discovery of such sites is why I'm making Feldot, a social domain aggregation site. There are so many sites available out there like this to browse, but we never see them when using existing search engines.

I doubt these are words that a "banned". Probably more like words that trigger extra precaution in certain contexts. Medical terms like "testical" are perfectly reasonable words.
The world may not have a choice but to do so; midsize and large planes were already a duopoly, and both had backlogged orders in the thousands. Airbus can't absorb all these new orders, and there are no other options (not for lack of trying; Japan, Russia and China among others are all having difficulties with their state-backed aircraft development programs; the planes are late, overbudget, and generally poorer quality (e.g. shorter range, less efficient)). Not to mention the huge fleet of perfectly fine Boeing aircraft already operating that still need servicing and maintenance.

FireStore is quite good for what it does. Please be sure to visit the limits page: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/quotas

If you can design your schema and usage patterns so as not to hit those limits, it's a very scalable option. But in return, you are in for a very strong vendor lockin.

Unfortunately, almost all pay as you go, linearly scalable managed databases, for example, FireStore, DynamoDB, CosmosDB are essentially lockin in nature (and maybe by design)!

Other OSS NoSQL products almost always need a base cluster costing $1000 (or more) per month to get decent baseline performance. After that point, you can scale to a very high scale by vertically and horizontally scaling your cluster.

Actual political scientists 100% for sure do not split hairs like that unless there's a reason they're trying to distinguish between two flavors of democracy and there's risk of confusion, and would definitely describe any part of the American election system as falling under the umbrella of "democratic". For one thing, it's not some kind of club with very strict rules for inclusion and being in or out is super important in some kind of way, and for another it would mean almost no systems or parts of systems would be "democratic" so we'd just have to invent another word to take over the very useful role that word serves now.

[EDIT] to be clear it's fine to think some parts of our election systems suck (they definitely fucking do) but "it's not democratic" isn't a very useful, meaningful, or even clear objection, per se.
I respect your opinion, I think that it's something that takes investment before economic activity is seen. Like many startups spending venture capital to build a network that doesn't turn a profit until it's scaled to a certain size, rail builds economies around it where it is. A lot of boom towns in the early 20th century were a result of a railway moving through the town. Hotels, restaurants, shops, etc were built by rail towns. It provides a physical conduit of currency and importantly freight moving around the country (but until I have sources up, this is my opinion).
>If you are earning $2000 a month, and the company knows that you were earning $1000 a month from the government, and they cut your pay to $1000 a month, you’re still only getting $2000 a month. Your overall financial health, and way of life has not changed one bit. you have simply replaced one source of income with another. You’re still making $2000 a month, the only difference is, the corporation doesn’t have to pay you. We have simply replaced one source of income with another. You’re still making $2000 a month, the only difference is, the corporation doesn’t have to pay you. If a Toyota Camry cost $10,000, and all customers are getting $1000 a month free from the government, then raise the price of the Camry to $11,000

I often argue that the markets do not optimize for the right outcomes, thus not so great, but even I do not think they are that stupid nor inefficient.

If your standard of living has not improved (by your previous argument), why would the markets raise the price for the Toyota Camry? So they get less sales? Why would the workers agree to do the same work for less even if they are gettin extra money?

An UBI will definitely shift the markets and maybe not in a good way, but that analysis seems so absurd that I consider even calling it an oversimplification to be too generous.
Wow. I was going to ask for a source since your mention of hundreds of deaths sounded so unbelievable, but it was very easy to find:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/04/iran-700-dead-drinkin...

Crazy what people will do due to misinformation.

There were some news reports after Trump's suggestions to use disinfectant as a COVID-19 cure that hundreds of people had called health services to ask if it was indeed a legitimate way to get rid of coronavirus. Now I'm wondering how many didn't call and just went ahead with the "treatment".
Effectively, there is no difference between an apple and one with a bruise. I still get the same nutrition and taste, most other differences being unimportant.

If the vulnerability is still there, and you find and report it, you should be paid the bounty regardless of whether or not you were first. This should give companies a further incentive to close the vulnerability as quickly as possible. Isn’t the point supposed to be to discourage black hats from acting on vulnerabilities they find? If only the first person to find the bug is awarded the bounty and all others are told “tough shit” this really doesn’t solve that problem.

Most underrated comment in this thread...
I have a good friend who's passion projects were flash games. He went to conferences, would send over samples, and honestly they were good. I think it made him a better programmer than me too.

The hate against flash is warranted in the contexts the hate originates, but there is a niche where it belongs.
I'm not gonna disagree, but I think the difference now is an extreme focus on the self and an impossible expectation to feel happy and content.

I think this has a technological solution, but it will be far more complex to solve.

Imagine a virtual store shelf. I for one like to see competing products and prices for those "inner isle items". That could easily be digitized.

Fruit and meat selection is another matter entirely. Short of some sort of remote surrogate system that lets you login and see the shelf at your local market real time, I'm not sure how this could be solved. Sometime I go looking for specific cut of meat and find a better deal on something else. Sometimes I'm curious to see what else is available and/or on sale. I think the capital investment to get something going would be a lot but not insurmountable. You may have to change the way items are displayed, have some high powered cameras to zoom in on meat prices. Fruit, I cant imagine anything short of a robot arm that allows me to login and inspect myself, and even then how do you gauge "softness" without some sort of tactile feedback. Possible but expensive to implement.
The only issue there is developers not being able to keep up with the rapid pace at which Safari is still strengthening privacy protection even in the middle of a pandemic, as far as I can tell.

> so I’m almost not entitled to have an opinion on the matter

I'm gonna go ahead and disagree with you here. The US is such a prominent nation, that can make or break the economies other countries, depending on their political actions.

I've seen a lot of this "It's US politics, so none of your business" writing when criticizing Trump - but fact is that most countries are not perfectly de-coupled from each others. The US relies on some countries, while other countries relies on the US.

Sure, you do not have any right to vote for him, but you sure as hell are entitled to voice your opinion on him.

Currently, yes, we’re focused on connecting users with services, but there’s nothing inherent to the underlying technology that prevents us handling service to service communication in the future.

You'd need some snap store to be able to install it without using --dangerous flag. Snapcraft.io is Ubuntu's (and most popular one), though that might not work for you if you want the download to be available exclusively from your own website.

But then again, if it's on Snapcraft, you don't need to worry about distributing updates to your users.

The entire stack contains enough holes as to be swiss cheese, auditing the open code means nothing if and when something before that code in the stack manipulates the outcome of the code. This is one of the reasons those big security issues in Intel CPUs the last few years were such a big deal. The entire stack needs to be reworked at this point.
First, some government authorities (such as at airports) ask for social media information. Employers can, as well, when doing background checks.

Next, Twitter, Facebook and Instagram have become de-facto presence for political figures, companies and individuals. Erased from here, they cease to exist. Almost like scrubbing a Google search result.

The above points COMPEL the U.S. government and any other government to consider the possibility that they are now a public utility (like electrical companies) and an essential service. The argument that they are private companies and therefore should forever be removed from the jurisdiction of the 1st Amendment (in the case of the U.S.), since this only applies to government, is extremely antiquated. Did smartphones and Presidential tweets exist in 1776?

If electrical companies and railroads can be regulated and for-profit, then why would "my company, I do what I want" magically apply forever to Faceook, Twitter and Instagram?

I am NOT defending what Trump was quoted saying here. I AM making a case that we need to update our legal framework to account for modernity. And to account for a heretofore unpredictable and unfathomable technological achievement of an instant network of human ideas and presence that is controlled by a few California companies. I'd bet money that the question will be considered in the coming few years by the high courts, and there's a non-zero chance they'll agree with what I've just said.

> So is the suggestion that I should be forced to serve people I don't want to serve?

Well, yes. Like a utility company.

It doesn't matter who is hooked up to the water/sewer/internet/etc., they get service. I think the platform/publisher debate needs to actually be had.

Right now Twitter/FB/etc. are acting like publishers (silencing some, ignoring others) rather than platforms. If they are going to take responsibility for what is on their platform, they need to take full responsibility (a publisher). Or, they need to take no responsibility, as far as that goes under the law (a platform, which I here conflate with utility).

As it stands, all of the major social media companies are biased to the US left, and they cater largely to the left [0][1]. When they silence, they silence the US political right. Or comments that are critical of the CCCP[2]. Or legitimate medical opinions about Covid-19[3].

I get 'watchdog timeout' kernel panics. For a while it was daily, since reinstalling OS now it's random.

The issue is I use a far different system than most reporting the issue. I see mentions of macbooks, sleep, etc, but I'm running an iMac 2013, a program that keeps it awake 24/7, etc.

No idea yet what the underlying cause is, but the panics started with 10.15.1 and got worse with 10.15.4, they were not an issue prior to 10.15.1
I really really like this approach. Something like this has been sitting in the back of my mind but I've been so burnt out on, well, everything, to do anything about it, constantly worrying about it not being perfect or not adhering to whatever is _the_ standard of the hour blah blah blah. It's reassuring to see that I'm being a fool and that I should just do it, "best" practices be damned.

Thanks for sharing!
Is Flutter/Dart the Ruby on Rails of UI development? I know it may put some people off that we have to use a completely new language to solve problems we've already (kinda) solved, but I believe this time google got it right.

Duck Dynasty is widely popular with almost 9mm viewership. It has a rating of 6.3. Breaking Bad has 1.5mm viewership and an IMDB score of 9.5. If you're Netflix, do you make invest money into a show like Duck Dynasty or like Breaking bad.
So if I understand correctly, your threat model is "Google will inject unwanted JS into a JS blob they host (like the amp.js from Google's CDN) and this will do nefarious (for some definition of nefarious) things to me without me knowing."

How is this different than today, where many sites use js from google, either as a cdn or part of the ads infrastructure? I guess you can block some of those, but blocking the jquery provided by google's CDN isn't going to work too well.

(And further, what kind of nefarious thing do you fear Google will do? How likely is it that they will do so, in your opinion?)

That is terrifying. How do you plan to handle/dispose of that battery? I guess I'd unplug the Mac from AC and run the battery all the way down, but then you probably should have a fireproof bag to transport it to someplace that will accept it for disposal/recycling.

Which system is better?
Yeah, that's the only one I could find. I definitely don't have the background to understand the whole paper, but it doesn't seem to paint a very positive picture. If you cut employment by 13% and grow labor productivity (output per employee) by 8%, aren't you worse off? At best, you're producing the same amount while benefiting society less and the owners more.

Also:

>Public-to-private buyouts involve greater leverage and bankruptcy risk but few advantages in financial returns, at least in recent decades. Private-to-private buyouts appear more likely to create value by relaxing financial constraints and improving management practices.

Public-to-private buyouts are generally the ones people get angry about, and it seems that they're economically bad in addition to the social consequences. I don't think people generally object to one private equity firm buying from another.

If you would like to explore more TypeScript ORM Libraries TypeORM comes to mind, and recently Zapatos made it into the frontpage and although it's new it looks like a nice simple but powerful alternative, much more close to raw SQL than TypeORM's clearly abstract layer/magic sause.

just my 2 cents

Also about more general web frameworks like rails and not ORM's I personally use NextJS with TypeScript, like Ant.Design for it's react components library, use Jest for testing + Eslint + Prettier.

That makes the most of my IDE, it's like having a second pair of eyes behind you in Real Time telling you every typo between Types, Linting, and other VSCode extension goodies...
Yeah, unless that vaccine everyone is working on _really, really_ works I don't see demand for airplanes (or other forms of public transportation, for that matter) coming back to anywhere near the level it was before C19. FWIW, whatever travel I do this year will be by car.

And chances of that vaccine working _reliably_ are pretty slim: we do not have vaccines for any other coronaviruses, and they mutate. Our vaccines against the flu (which is not a coronavirus, but which also mutates) leave a lot to be desired.
