Union Dropship, it's a quite well published design actually but never made it into television.

IIRC this was also quite clearly stated in the Traveller rules, and then universally broken in all the lore.
Right, but there probably won’t be any criminal charges if a police officer:

- steals $200K from you
- has their attack dog bite you you while your calmly sitting down and handcuffed
- serve a warrant for someone they already have in custody by breaking down your door in plainclothes without announcing themselves and then shoot your girlfriend eight times.

(These are all real cases from this year, where the courts rules there was not grounds to sue because of qualified immunity)

Now, you can at least sue them for such actions. I suspect the damages will be paid for by an insurance policy taxpayers paid for. Still, it is better than the current situation. At least such officers will be a financial liability for their departments.
It's just about backward compatibility. If you don't run the exact version of python that's running in production, how do you know that you're not using some method that does not exist in production yet (because you run older version there)?

Also, libraries with binary component often have to be compiled against specific version of python.

I wish we could check the source code using the PVS-Studio analyzer to see what we can find out there :). It would be more interesting than these standard articles on project checks.
You didn't communicate that. There is no "download" to delete on iOS (and derivatives) and it's managed by the system on macOS. It's not a small delta when it should be tiny (100 MiB), that eats up data plan and storage.
Dammit, apparently not. Apparently FB tried to buy it but failed.

So, now I really don't understand the headline.
Yup, even when the market was "normal" (pre-COVID), it was usual to see random spikes and drops in the average rent price in SF.

In a given month, if the latest rentals are all luxury apartments, that will spike the average rent price even if prices haven't moved at all.
If I may this does not apply here. The tweet was formulated as "Since issue X is more important than our tweets etc." so the criticism of "Also issue Y was more important" is not baseless.

This would not apply if they just supported the cause, or even decided to join the protest. For how international it can be the rust organization is intrinsically based in the US so it is understandable why they might want to make a statement about the current events.

Nevertheless the criticism has a basis in how the tweet was formulated, as the way it was written transforms a perfectly reasonable position of "we cannot and shouldn't fight every battle" into "that other issue was less important".

I would say this was a case where a bad argument was worse than no argument.

Just to repeat myself one more time if the tweet was only "In support of current protests we chose to stop tweeting until further notice" then your comment would be completely right.
It was not always like that. There was a time when companies were not using so many finance tricks and had better resilience and balance sheets. Unfortunately, since the 80's there has been a trend of increased financialization of the economy, most probably caused by the secular decrease in interest rates.
Quick question: what is the budget for marketing and promotion for the average published book?

I have worrying thoughts about how many prototypes get trashed and lost forever every year, yet have no idea how we could go about systematic recovery of lost games such as these. Can we buy up old game studio assets somehow?
In NYC, there remain a vanishingly small number of rent controlled apartments, and for every lucky lottery winner there are hundreds/thousands who lose housing/capital/possessions at the mercy of owners.

Not to mention the homeless.

Don't get me started on the housing "market" and rent control impact on supply/demand. Housing is largely an adversarial game, not a win-win game.
On the other hand a friend of mine loves driving for Uber Eats, his friends who drive also love the company, and he thinks he has been especially well treated by the company during COVID. As soon as deliveries were allowed to resume in New Zealand Uber gave drivers a significant temporary increase in earnings to help them make up for lost earnings during our lockdown when food delivery was banned.

As far as I know customers were not charged more so I guess VCs were funding New Zealand drivers.

The detractors might argue friend is being taken advantage of and just doesn't realise it. He thinks otherwise.
Since there were two threads about qualified immunity on the front page, we merged them. The other article has more substance, so we moved (most) comments thither: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23379910.

The remaining comments are the ones that only make sense in this context.
Well, no bastard ever successfully protested by imposing a cost on himself. He successfully protested by imposing a cost on some other dumb bastard.

The ideal protest applies amplified damage to the other guy at low cost to yourself.

I hope The Zuck stays strong, though. Let everyone speak.
I don't know what companies you've been working for, but even if you do zero product research and development, a company as tech-focused as Uber is still going to need a substantial engineering department just to keep the lights on. Not to mention a tech company that isn't developing new products and features, and isn't marketing, isn't going to remain profitable for long no matter how much they've cut labor costs.

I understand that they're investing in growth, but the key points still stands - money is flowing down the drain with the promise that it'll all be worth it "some day."
"exception proves the rule" means "exception tests the rule"

That is very debatable. Regardless, it's the not the meaning I was using.
> You have already said that companies should be allowed to moderate violent speech; except most forms of violent speech are actually protected! So you are saying that the government should shield some protected speech, but not others. Where, pray tell, do you draw the line?

And, going back to what spurred this; what would one call Donald's little outburst? It could easily be considered both political speech and violent speech. Which wins? Even more to the point, what about his libel? That's both political, and something that Twitter could easily be sued for without CDA230.

Of course, in the case of such narrowing actually happening and surviving the courts (which seems pretty implausible), Twitter would presumably just ban him on the violent speech thing (or for no stated reason at all, as permitted by their ToS); far safer. There is some considerable irony in the fact that it's only due to the strong protections provided to websites via the CDA that he has a platform.
I was in Morocco when we signed copyright restrictions, and I can assure you 95% of the pressure is from United States, and it is in the interests mainly of the US and it's allies.

As far as it reflecting European interests, the Berne convention is against European interests as it pertains to US copyrighted work as it offers them less protection than US works and forces a higher standard for US copyright than domestic copyright in many cases.
It's more that this capital can be utilized to actually be feeding families through real job growth and not some hand-waving waving self-deception of building the future. In other words, this is not real productivity because it isn't sustainable without burning cash.

The interest of the company is obviously it's continued existence. There's a debate to be had as to whether that vague goal is even worth considering, given that it does not perfectly align with the interests of any actual human being, but it's clear what was meant by that turn of phrase.
I think Hooks are genius truthfully. But they are definitely shoehorning something into a place that didn't expect it. You are calling these render functions with the purpose of creating new transformations every cycle, and the injection mechanism has to include the initialization the first time. So you basically have these slotted things that allocate memory every time to just use what's cached most of the time.

Now don't get me wrong I've benchmarked Hooks like crazy and I don't think they are much consideration on performance at all. It's just the mental model of always update on the outside with bubbles of things that don't update creating these closures is a little unnatural. By comparison the mechanism they ape (fine grained reactivity) works exactly the opposite way. You just need to be aware the stuff outside doesn't update. Wrap what needs to be updated. Done. There are no out of date closures. No inconsistent mental model. It's as straightforward as registering event handlers.

Still I have to admit the solution is genius. They have managed to get 90% of the benefits with simply repositioning things. At one point this was one of my biggest arguments against React. People didn't appreciate it before hooks. But can you imagine knowing you could write applications this way years ago and trying to convince someone using React classes there was a better way? I just sort of gave up and did my own thing.
Yes, "public" is where ever the people are.
>"go vote if you want to see change".

>It strikes me as awfully out of touch because that's exactly what we've been doing all along,

Well this is not quite right. Many people (especially young people) actually don't vote, especially in the smaller local elections that elect people like your police chief. The two party system in the US is broken but young people not voting makes it worse.

Politics would looks very different if 90% of millennials started showing up to vote. Dare I suggest they might even start running for office?

The original premise of ClimaCell as I understood when hearing about a few years ago was to utilize cellular cells (hence ClimaCell) to acquire information about the levels of humidity in the air, thus providing a cellular cell level immediate forecast. I believe they have expanded that to satellite communications and more.

What would you say to people who have been arrested, beaten, or in some cases, even lost their lives in protests like these and those before it?
Never sure what to think when reading these articles. Sad story but what he did is tantamount to taking your whole net worth and betting in black in roulette. Do you feel bad if the person loses?

Doing this as a side bet with some extra money is one thing but putting your entire life savings into a highly speculative investment is not smart. Save your nest egg for “boring” stuff like broad index funds.
So, looking at a car rental company like Hertz, aren't they basically a car equivalent of WeWork, minus the hype? With the same fundamental issue: their customers can (and eventually will) all go away at once, while they are left with a lot of long-term commitments to pay on what they were intending to rent out.

Now, a properly set up rental company would have hedged this, so that in the case their market disappears on them, they have survival money coming in from some financial option or other. But, I'm guessing Hertz did not.

My issue with serverless though is that you need to refactor your code to make it work specifically for it. If you don't start to think serverless on day one it gets more and more difficult to convert to it down the road.

It reflects the interests of special interest copyright groups who work both to get these treaties written with terms favorable to themselves, and to get laws passed to enforce them.

When those laws are passed they try to get the laws to be stronger than the treaty. Thereby leading to differences in laws and a push for a new treaty to "harmonize" different copyright regimes. Strangely, the new treaty harmonizes on the strong end of the laws passed, thereby creating a ratchet effect.

After decades of success on things like copyright terms, Disney finally reached the end of the road when the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement died. As a result Steamboat Willie, written in 1924, will become public domain in 2024, some 68 years after it was originally supposed to do so.
It's the same thing as the whole "resisting arrest" paradox I've observed. People have base instincts (and I guess crowds/large-area population groups by some extension) that they just can't override. E.g. it's very difficult to lie still and be flaccid when you're being pinned, possible hit, have your hands twisted, put in a claustrophobic situation, etc to not try "fight back". Especially now when everyone just assumes that if you submit to police in such a situation that you will be choked out on hot asphalt and may never wake up.

It has already escalated for one reason or another, and it's hard for violence to de-escalate as it feeds each side until one decides to be "the loser". Only then can it subside or de-escalate. Right now, the police can't leave things be as they are in some places watching protests turn violent. Personally, I would hold them accountable if they didn't try to stop violent protestors and to disperse large crowds that start getting unruly or have the potential to. And that says nothing of the message or the grievances that the protestors may have.
I didn't realize I had to choose between communities. How do you know I don't already participate in those too?

Ok, the very very simple version: Science fiction is set in the future. Star Trek is deliberately set in the future. Star Wars is deliberately set in the past ("A long time ago") and therefore is something other than science fiction.
I work on a ship part of the year. Satellite internet shared between 50 people. These Apple updates would saturate the network and grind it to a halt before we started blocking them on the firewall. iMessage got caught in the crossfire and now sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
I apologize if this is a stupid question, but, is there a reason they can't do a diff patch on the binary? Would it end up not introducing savings?

I acknowledge Facebook's right to not moderate such things. And support the laws that give Facebook that freedom.

I think it's morally reprehensible and therefore support Facebook's employees movement to work to change Facebook's actions.

I wonder how many times a book will not sell without a marketing campaign simply because it is not good. It seems to me that in a world of electronic communication & social media, it should be possible for a good book to become widely known & demanded by simply being good & the news about it spreading.

Individual book sellers still could do some marketing simply to increase sales once such a good book shows up.

I believe you underestimate the constraints that come with VC money. VCs tend to expect a high ROI so that one good investment can make up for multiple bad ones. That, naturally, leads to a go big or go home attitude.

A business model that yields a reliable 10% profit margin, but with a low overall volume and low growth is not suitable for any VC-backed company. So that's a space where bootstrappers only have to compete against other bootstrappers.

Other than maybe 2 or 3 years, Amazon has been cash flow positive pretty much throughout its existence (and the negatives in those 3 years added up to less than a couple of millions).

That’s absolutely not true for these companies.

One of the most underrated aspects of Amazon is Bezos’s realization that he didn’t need profits to make a lot of money as long as his cash flow was positive. It gave him tremendous flexibility because he could spend a lot more than his competitors, and as an added bonus, it reduced his tax bill significantly.
I assure you that Al Qaeda and it's affiliated organizations was much, much more than that.

I know people that bumped into quite a lot of salafist organizations that would later affiliate with Al Qaeda, they were well organized and had funding as well as structure and hierarchy.

In any case, a few dozen angry disenfranchised seminary students with a leader as well as en executive council and multiple branches is more of an organization than Antifa is. I know that Al Qaeda has declined a lot, but I know for a fact that it was much more than what you claim it is at least at the time.

Delivery services work very well in places with very high income inequality. You need to pay a small amount to the courier and then sell an expensive service to someone that's price insensitive. Simply adjusting by PPP doesn't guarantee the model works elsewhere. You need to adjust by demographics of who is buying and who is providing the service in each country to figure out if you can balance it out. So far it seems most Western countries can't make that work and investment money is filling in the gap.

Pipenv is almost exactly pip-tools + venv + a custom UI over the two. And slightly easier / more automatic venv management.

From the times I've looked at it (almost a year ago and older): pip-tools is / was the core of Pipenv... but it has been a fair distance ahead in terms of bug fixes and usable output for diagnosing conflicts. It seemed like pipenv forked from pip-tools a couple years prior, and didn't keep up.

Given that, I've been a happy user of v(irtual)env and pip-tools. Pipenv has remained on the "maybe some day, when it's better" side of things, since I think it does have potential.

As someone who has been corrected by you when quoting from inaccurate sources on iOS and jailbreak related info, thanks for what you do and how you go about it. You're curt and courteous, which can come off as being short, but you're always accurate in my experience. I don't think you should worry too much about people thinking you're an astroturfer, because those who know the technical side know that you know your stuff.
your noticing the notice and them resuming tweets are asynchronous. If we want to bring some logic inferences the only thing we can say is that their next tweet must say something about restarting to tweet.

Actually no, the only thing we could hold them up to is that before any tweet on the usual topics there should be a notice that normal tweets have begun again. It would be perfectly reasonable to now defend their position without a prior notice that they are going to also defend their position.
