I appreciate your concern about the naming and I think you are right to have that concern. The problem with this (to be obvious) is that 'black' is being used as an perjorative because there are good markets and bad markets but the good ones don't have an adjective, and 'black' is an attribute which is also used to describe people who are born with darker skin (perhaps unavoidably so, for the forseeable future).

Is there a reason can't you just call this a Slave Market ? I mean, wikipedia has a page entitled just that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_market. If you wish to disambiguate from historical you could add 'modern', 'contemporary', 'underground', or 'secret' very easily.

As to the location, it might be the case that the middle east is where you were involved, but I rather suspect that a) not all the slaves sold remain in that area and b) this does not only happen in that area. Certainly I have read of modern slavery occurring here in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. I have certainly read of women from China, Nigeria and Eastern European countries for instance, being trafficked for prostitution in recent years and I'm pretty sure that this is not the whole story. You are doing great work[0] actively working against slavery, right? If your organisation were successful in the middle east, would it then simply close down?

[0] and thank you for that.
They can arrest you on trumped up charges, but it's not really feasible to do that to everybody

No, but I would imagine there would soon be some way of removing your liberty and keep you under house arrest for a set period. Imagine if they made sure your banking and cards were frozen for the period to stop you going anywhere...
Now you're just making words meaningless. Fascism is a reasonably well-defined ideology. Not every use of the word applies it correctly, and I've even seen convincing arguments that Nazism wasn't true fascism while Stalinism was, but this is what's generally meant by fascism: an ideology where everything revolves around a great leader, his inner circle, the party, the "true" people, and where every aspect of society serves this unity of concentric circles. It's explicitly totalitarian and doesn't tolerate dissent or different opinions; everybody needs to be loyal to the leader, or is considered an enemy of the people.

Antifa, by comparison, doesn't even have a leader. And doesn't want one either.

I'm sorry but this is a lot of shallow hyperbole. It doesn't matter if your functions are pure if they return a unique data type for your API or library that is not understood easily by the caller. So the solution is to make that data easily convertible or generic.. and guess what? That's no different than doing the same in an OO language. In the end, lego pieces are ultimately about the data itself, not how it is manipulated.

The key ingredient in making software reusable and portable is the talent and experience of the engineer, regardless of language.

>All speech besides threats of violence needs to be free, or we can't progress as a society.

The problem with that simple rule is that there is no simple way to distinguish threats. Take a statement like "I don't think black people deserve to live", technically not worded as a threat, but the sentiment is no different. Similar examples varying in strength, obfuscation and contextual meaning can be produced in unlimited quantities. No hard rule can deal with all this, so have to debate what should and should not be allowed.
Teams is a horrid, horrid product that eats tons of memory and has no history to speak of (takes like 15sec to load previous hour - on 300Mbit up/down connection).

Interesting application.
How does this work?
No doubt they do. But my insurance company also doesn’t want _everyone_ to die. That’d be bad for business. As would hundreds of thousands or millions of claims due to COVID. Look at all the insurance companies that are waiving costs for testing. It’s cheaper for them to eat that cost and help slow the spread via more accessible testing than to deal with the work of millions of hospitalization claims and of course paying out for even a fraction of those.

I see. Thanks. It was deep down there.

By the way, I've just came up with an idea of what's really wrong with messengers like Telegram and WhatsApp: you can't read a message without telling the sender you've read it. And this forces you to answer. This way I often have to avoid viewing a message so they don't get notified. This is a huge annoyance which kind of ruins my life every now and then. Thanks G-d they don't insist to show when you are online. I would even pay some reasonable subscription to have a stealth mode so people would have no means to see whether I am online and if I've read their message.
Hmm.

In the wheel of time, good and evil are objective. (Well, evil is objective.) Everyone, good or evil, agrees on what it means to be evil. By definition, everyone evil ultimately reports to the same leader. Good is a little less unified than that, but they likewise all agree that they're on the same side. If one good person in the wheel of time wants to kill another good person for being evil, that doesn't reflect different views of what evil is; it's just a simple mistake of fact.

And that's pretty much what I understand by "all good on one side and all evil on the other", I guess.

And yet the 'liberty minded' person in this case is the one imposing a government restriction upon what individuals and businesses might otherwise choose to do.

Since virtually nobody agrees that no form of speech or other expression should ever be a fireable offence, the debate actually comes down to discussion of which types of speech should and should have protections in the sphere of employment. You'll find a large set of people with a general presumption in favour of protecting political speech including some which they find disagreeable, but even involves debating where to draw the line, because speech which is ostensibly political can to differing degrees also be abusive, damaging to staff relations, bringing the company into disrepute, contrary to professional ethics, directly undermining the organization's position etc. And of course who should be given stronger-than-average protections is also a matter of some debate, and you'll usually find plenty of people arguing for government protections on the freedom of conscience for racists but not homosexuals and vice versa. Some people believe in restricting employers with more general presumptions in favour of speech than others, but assessing which ones and why is more useful than simply claiming the other side is more authoritarian, especially when those arguing for fire-at-will for any reason also consider themselves to be doing so on libertarian grounds.

This is all great until you get to the stakeholder who prototypes something in Excel (or Honeycode, I guess) and since it only "took them a few days to do this" can't understanding why scaling it up takes six months or a year and won't listen to you when you try to explain that they under-spec'd the system by an order of magnitude.

A while ago there was a "north korean browser" that kept track of everything one did online. At the time people were saying how dystopic that was, but I'd always thought it must have been an elaborate troll, an in-your-face reminder of what could easily be done today, at multiple layers of the stack, with one's digital exhaust.

(On the sibling thread: by my calculation at most 13% of the 1984 society had telescreens, so at roughly 60% global internet usage we're well ahead of Orwell for staring into Palantirs.

No. Quarantine is where you restrict the movement of people who may be carriers for infectious diseases. Because spreading infectious diseases makes healthy people sick. You do realize that healthy people can get sick..right? Like...you know that some people who are sick were healthy prior to that?

Not completely false.

"Differences in distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we

This technique has potential. I kickstarted my interest in machine learning by going to the university library, picking a book with an interesting title and reading a random section for about half an hour, before fleeing to classes. I had a quite good overview by the end of the semester.
But it worked... nicely. Meaning it did what it was supposed to do at least, quickly, with little resources, few bugs etc.
It is steps in the good directions, and as far as I know they are way more advanced than Android on this point.

Those features would have been welcome a few years ago, that's for sure, but let's not blame them now that they do what's right.

What's out there is already out there, you're right, but we can hope that those shady information dealers will have much more trouble in the future.
This bill seems like something out of 1984... I kinda wonder if any big tech companies will fight back like Apple since they push backed on issues before... Other tech companies maybe too, but I think some tech companies are fine with this stuff even if it creates extra burdens because its for example easier for some of these huge companies on the stock market to go over everything than some smaller tech startups.

Also really makes me less of a fan of the two party system... but then again some people don't want to due to busy or just boring to look over every candidates... Like maybe you are a Republican in Tennessee and then for all the other candidates you check Blackburn since she's part of your party... Seems like the actual president actions get more attention, more people have opinions on Obama or Trump than their own representatives or governor.

I think it'd be interesting if people could vote on issues more directly, but wonder if that'd be open up to fraud... Like how some candidates are against mail-in votes... I'd think crypto and some other things might be stronger than a signature. Speaking of signatures, I voted in one of the state elections mail-in and the local county election commission rejected my ballot because of my signature and got a letter back after it's too late to go to the polls... I have really bad hand writings and I hate signing for things. It's annoying lol... Like I used the mobile app for Subway once since they had a deal and you have to sign the little paper receipt print out, kinda like scribble and be done with it since not as important as other signatures though. While other mobile apps, nothing to sign. Plus They don't even teach cursive writing in schools anymore. So I think crypto and maybe some proof of being a live person using tech might actually help. Kinda one of my own concerns about some areas doing mail-in only for COVID... I wonder if you lived in maybe an area that's mostly democrat and voted republican or vise verses if your signature is more likely to be rejected. I wonder what the process for that is, do they keep copies of people signatures when they registered to vote (DMV will register you too, so maybe from state ID or License) or from their last ballot or when they requested an absentee ballot maybe more likely?

Then I also feel like some of these candidates and other elected officials live in their own little bubble, rich, overpaid and out of touch with society.

" was of course a proposition, not advanced,but the propasition that it could not be debated was put forward.

Newsflash!! This was being debated 30 years ago. No evidence ever found, apart from < 50% women in STEM

So whatever the truthity fairly idiotic
That seems an acceptable interpretation only if it also means that "men and majorities could be incapable of joining the software profession based on their genetics."

Because both are encompassed by the more general "people could be incapable of joining the software profession based on their genetics."

And that's of course not the only interpretation possible, but the one you choose. You say it's because of "capability" but you could look at it in terms of "inclination", "interest", "comparative advantages" or other angles.
No, the norm on the iOS is current and two versions back.
It is also worth mentioning that iOS are usually supported for much longer than Android.

iphoneOS 15 will be supported by iPhone 6S: this was released in 2015. If app supports iOS 12 (which most do, as it is only one version below the current iOS 13) it means they support iPhone 5S: which was released in 2013.

And Apple users are likely to update: 92% run the latest version, and 7% are on the iOS 12.
My iPhone 8 has been my daily driver for 3 years now and runs like fresh out of the box. Battery degradation is the only issue but that's just natural wear and tear.

Washington Post open sources notebooks for analyzing helicopter flights
This is classic hn dismissalism. The news article isn’t great, but it did a better job than you give it credit for in stating the significance. It linked the paper and talked about birch reactions.

I don’t read Science (the journal) regularly, but news articles like this function as flags for “there may be an new paper worth reading” so I go get it from everyone’s favorite repository of scientific papers. That’s the value.

If you want to critique the state of scientific news writing that’s fine but realize you’re just whining. The fact that it’s about science news isn’t that much different than political news.
Awesome! Would you mind talking some more about your experience with it? I just got started with Clojure and Fulcro[1] (a full-stack framework) and I'm really, really excited about the possibilities. Have you heard about it?

Here are some features off the top of my head (at least that's what they claim):

- Well-integrated stack, so very little friction

- “Datomic on the front end”: Client-side time-traveling database with automatic normalization, querying via EQL (kinda like GraphQL but more idiomatic and supposedly more powerful), “co-locating” queries in the UI.

- React bindings and a Semantic UI library

- Lets you swap anything you “outgrow”

- Lots of learning material (but still lacking in some areas from a cursory look). The author seems to be very active on Slack (Clojurians #fulcro).

- Fulcro RAD[2] (currently alpha) looks like it's going to reduce friction even further.

There's probably more cool stuff I don't remember now.

The two things I'm still insecure about with Clojure are its dynamically typed nature (but I'd be glad to hear about how that isn't a problem) and that the ecosystem doesn't seem to hold your hand too much (again, I'd like to hear another point of view).

> this is literally the first time I'm hearing that the leader of Britain First showed up

It's somewhat frustrating that people who do not know who attended the demonstration are telling me that I'm wrong when I say it was mostly comprised of recognised far right groups.

The protests were organised by far right groups such as FLA / DLFA, with calls from people like Stephen Yaxley-Lennon and Paul Golding for people to attend.

Pythons "there is only way" is too stiff for me. It may sound nice but in reality does not work, on top of my head - package managers, slots, itertools vs array comprehension, discouraged lambda, and whole python 2 or 3.

A sample of Google Python code I've tried to fix recently [1]. A ton of nothingness. You can produce it in any language.

You are too harsh on Perl design. I thought ruby was popular because it is great language. Nope. Cool kids moved to server side JavaScript. And tried to hide prototype oriented origins, they've added class friends privates now and a ton of other questionable features.

People with racist or otherwise regressive views know that these views will (rightly) get them criticised by the majority, and so they won't couch them in those terms precisely, but it's often very clear when you take context into account. I can't speak for this exact case, because we don't know what his exact words were, but it's telling that even your defence of him describes him criticising protesters at a time when protesters are being shot and having chemical weapons used on them by the police, a state militia who can kill pretty much anyone without threat of consequence. If your stance in this case is to support that militia, their murders and their use of chemical weapons, then I think that it's not remotely unfair to say that you not only do not support the black lives matter movement, but that you support the continuation of black people in the states being murdered without recompense.

When you have such a significant power over someone's higher education and therefore their life earnings, I don't think it's unfair to scrutinise these people's views further than had they little structural power.
As far as I know, it's a corporate tier of the Defender only available to corporate volume license customers.

I guess it's similar to the way many vendors have a "EDR" version of the malware protection as opposed to the consumer version, which often reserve Linux protection for the former.
The lessons learned will be "hide your crimes better". And a few token gestures. This kind of crime is just too profitable, and the "little man" will not start any larger protests over it. So there is no desire anywhere in substantial changes.
> If you go by GDP it should be a rich country

Not really. GDP is large, but that's only because the population is large. Per capita GDP is around US$ 9k, which makes us poorer than Mexico or Argentina. For comparison, per capita GDP in Sweden is something like US$ 54k.

I remember being taught in school that Brazil is the n-th richest country in the world, and if only that wealth were evenly distributed we could all enjoy a welfare state like in Europe. That is simply not possible. But I guess many people here still believe it because the country has a few highly visible pockets of wealth.
>I can just hope the Germans learn lessons from this.

N'ah! When it comes to big banks, big industry, big infra projects, German state institutions are super corrupt, it makes Wall Street and the City of London look like saints.
