> I don't support trying to redress ills from over a century ago whether we are talking about restoring native reservations, or paying reparations for slavery.

I can understand this, and I think a lot of people are open to argumentation on this. Where it seems to get complex is when those past harms seem to have had a chain reaction that lingers and causes problems for people today.

Do I support recompense for someone just because their great grandparent was a slave? No. Do I support recompense because someone lives in a slum and has had poor choices in life available to them because of structural problems resulting in their parent and grandparents situations because of the situation of that great grandparent? Maybe? Yes? I think it's a harder and more complex question with a lot more to consider when laid out in that manner, so I don't have a simple answer.
> The real question is whether you should have mapped a["field"] or a["oldFields"]["Field"] to b.Field_old, and your unit test is not going to tell you that, you need an integration test to actually verify that you made the right transformations and you're getting the correct responses.

So I would argue you don't actually have business logic then. Your service is anemic, and you have a data transformation you need to do. I definitely think that you should do an integration test for that.

Moving JSON -> Postgres or whatever is something that you absolutely still can test with the output of the DML statement by your DB library. It may be a silly test, but that's because if there's no business logic, it's a silly program _shrug_.
source? this sounds like an urban myth. there's no way that every single consumer grade hard drive "returns before the flush is done", given that: 1. consumer grade is not well-defined, 2. there are many different "flush commands", and it does not depend on whether a drive is "consumer grade", and 3. if this were the case, then filesystem and database corruption would be rampant, which it is eminently not.

it would be impossible to write a remotely reliable high-performance database or filesystem if flushing were useless. professionals doing formal analyses like https://www.sqlite.org/psow.html would be a complete waste of time, because everyone would be just praying anyways.
So you think that the "vast proportion" of the non-white shootings we see in inner cities are manufactured by the media and police?

Do you mean they make them up? I'm really not following here.
All browser font systems already prefer locally installed fonts to CSS @font-face lookups.

The tool SkyFonts (from Monotype foundry and recommended by stores like MyFonts.com) as one of several features as a "cloud font updater" includes a "download the top X Google Fonts" option. It's an easy way to get a faster page load experience on the web.

The problem to watch out for, and it is why it's not generally recommended, is that font loading times are already in the wild a privacy issue (there are fingerprinting tools out there that try to download fonts and draw them in an off-screen CANVAS, using "too fast" as a deanonymization vector).

The best bet to generally help the web at large would be a browser or OS vendor to start installing the Top X fonts from Google Fonts out of the box.
This insight is the essence of the AlphaZero architecture. Whereas a pure Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) starts each node in the search tree with a uniform distribution over actions, AlphaZero trains a neural network to observe the game state and output a distribution over actions. This distribution is optimized to be as similar as possible to the distribution obtained from running MCTS from that state in the past. It's very similar to the way humans play games.

For the individual to make a claim that:

"They are a force which exists to terrorize working class people in order to force them to work for minimum wage. They are an investment by the ruling class which allows them to maintain their profits on marginalized workers."

Is just over the top absurdist. It's easily debunked by asking someone making above minimal wage "are you being forced to work by the police?" Will they bust down your door and address you for failure to accept employment at minimum wage?

That's a very interesting recording, not just because of the music but because of the people, and how incredibly happy they sound. On the (off key) rendering of 'In the Mood' someone comments 'The computer is obviously not in the mood', and then they try again. The sound is a bit like a cello. Would be nice to sample it so that it can be used as an instrument in a synth.

My own first computer 'music' (big word for what it sounded like) was made using a KIM-1 and an AM radio held close to it. Pretty limited environment but lots of fun.
Never use your home IP address is the conventional wisdom I've heard from relay operators and be aware there is a significant industry building up around figuring out whether or not traffic is tor'd and allowing to block based on that.

It's basically an arms race all the time; you'll need to pick as side. It's sad but there's a touch of "we don't want to do business with people who have something to hide" that has to get weeded out before you're not guaranteed to suffer any inconvenience from running a for relay.
Well, fortunately from what I gather, this only applies to tribal members on reservation land. So some of those 1.8 million will have it apply, and the rest wont. I mean it's right there in the article and the ruling... but you know, racist FUD is a better source I guess.

Rust's got a very Haskell-like type system, but it's a systems programming language. People are literally writing kernels in it. I think this is a pure-functional-is-a-bad-way-to-do-real-time-I/O thing, not a typing thing.

These are pretty sensational claims, do you have hard statistically relevant evidence for this?
Theft is a concept that exists within a legal or normative framework. There is no such thing as theft outside of an established framework. If you want to argue that America unjustly took Native American land, you basically have to start from first principles.

I found that line calling it Scott a niche blogger a little odd as well given that the article as a whole seems to be designed to establish the greater importance of Scott within the wider Silicon Valley and Rationalist communities. Unless those communities are just small little niche groups, but then why end with "Everyone has skin in the game, and the stakes are high."

Many universities aren't just about academics though. They wouldn't have things like, say, theatre clubs if they were.

I think you're ignoring a huge gap between "can talk" and "can adequately explain situation and advocate for self and how they are feeling to a relatively dispassionate listener".

I'm not saying that doctors are dispassionate, but that doctor will be spending at most half an hour with the patient, if you're lucky, while your family will be with you the whole time, listening attentively.

Does this depend on the reservation? I've heard of reservations where you basically couldn't build a permanent structure or get a building loan due to how the tribal land rules work.

It's kind of fascinating having these micro-nations that aren't quite nations within our borders, I should read more in to this subject.

I'm not against collecting data. But one problem with mixing data collection and politics is that just by selecting which data to collect and which data to not collect you are implicitly crafting a narrative. It's very subjective, and the data collected will be based on the agenda of the politics at hand. There is no such thing as pure unbiased data collection.
I did not assert that the NYT and SSC should be friends because they have similar political alignment. Whether they are friends or not is irrelevant to my question. The OP indicated that the NYT might be more inclined towards the politics of Banksy than to the politics of SSC. I am simply asking the basis of that assertion. As a casual reader of both they appear pretty aligned with one another politically.

There are a multitude of reasons the NYT might be biased in favor of Banksy and against SSC. But so far as I can tell political alignment is probably not the issue. Though I could be wrong. That is why I asked for clarity.
>all their varying climates causing different socioeconomic structures to emerge

Which supports my point, that trying to view native practices through modern concepts is a bit like forcing a square peg through a round hole.

>One of the reasons that many continue to think that aboriginal Americans had no concept of private property, however, is because many tribes did regard land as being communally owned. Carl Watner explores the topic in The Journal of Libertarian Studies

The article seems to conflate "private property" with land ownership. Even this particular paragraph speaks of "communal ownership" which isn't quite the same as the concept of ownership in modern US law, though there are certainly provisions for group ownership.

Point is that article only supports what I'm saying, that it's borderline slanderous to assign morality to the behavior of cultures from 300+ years ago according to modern laws and ideas. Regarding this discussion, "theft" certainly becomes a strong word when you consider how different (and heterogeneous) concepts and practices were back then.
> The definition of a bigot is someone who is intolerant to differing views.

It's genuinely quite hard to find a post on TD or TD-replacements that doesn't boil down to bigotry. Mocking and attacking their strawmen-of-the-day is basically the entire site.

So yes, I am intolerant - I am intolerant of intolerance. Civil society doesn't only permit this, it requires it. Being anti-bigot doesn't make me a bigot. Thinking so is perverse.
Up in Canada some of the reservations do 99-years leases with developers.

They retain ownership, but can actually get something for it.
I think that's the intent of the ruling, actually. Part of the conclusion says "If Congress wishes to withdraw its promises, it must say so."

Certainly the dominating topic these days in certain parts of the net. My personal pro and con for this theory:

pro: The timings are conspicuous. This absence right now as well as that during an earlier known event (the chans found that). Also the aggressive way Reddit admins react to this aligns with similar happenings in the past that turned out true.

con: I just can't imagine her using an account so similar to he real name, and just browsing Reddit all day. Also the content isn't quite as suspicious as one might expect from such a person.
> The center is there for the first party that chooses to leave its entrenchemen

No, it's not; political opinion in the US is closer to a bimodal than a normal distribution; the center of the current Overton Window is a place where you lose your base while not meaningfully appealing to people inclined to vote for your opponent, plus even if you succeed momentarily when (probably not “because”) you do that (e.g., Bill Clinton), the result is shifting the near pole of the Overton Window toward your opponents’ position which almost invariably results in a similar movement of the far pole maintaining the width of the Window.

A lot of the dynamics of this is tied to the structure of our electoral system; more effectively representative, multiparty systems have different dynamics.

I'm pretty sure their comment is a parody of the parent comment that makes a lot of outrageous claims with no evidence, followed by a slogan you can chant at protests.
Supply and demand are natural consequences of scarcity, but they're also consequences of all sorts of market manipulation, and there are good reasons to believe that the supply and demand created by market manipulation far outweighs the supply and demand created by scarcity.

There are approximately 570,000 homeless people in the US[1]. Jeff Bezos has a net worth of $188 billion[2]. The median price of a house in the US is $218,000. Jeff Bezos could buy every homeless person in the US a house at that median price, and still have $63.7 billion[3], leaving him the 5th richest person in the world[4].

And that's massively more money than is necessary to solve the actual homelessness problem in the US, which doesn't require 570,000 homes (because more than one person can live in one home) and doesn't require median value homes (because much cheaper homes are adequate). Yes, buying housing for hundreds of thousands of people would drive up housing prices, but surely a massive influx of capital would prompt more construction to meet demand. This is absolutely doable if Bezos decided to do it.

In short, the entire US housing crisis is smaller than a manufactured scarcity that only exists because Jeff Bezos has decided that $63.7 billion isn't enough incentive to work at Amazon, so 570,000 people should be homeless.

I realize I'm singling out Bezos here--yes, Bezos is a terrible person, but there are other billionaires who could easily solve the US housing crisis, and there's an entire system of people who have sided with the billionaires over the homeless time and time again. The responsibility for this travesty doesn't rest solely on Bezos' shoulders.

I also realize that homelessness isn't our only problem. There is real scarcity, and simply fixing income inequality isn't going to fix all scarcities.

But there can be no doubt that at least some of our most chronic problems only exist because there is a consensus that solving those problems isn't worth the wealthy giving up a portion of their wealth. You can argue whether that's justified or not, but you can't argue that these problems aren't solvable.

That's quite a claim to make without any evidence to back it up. I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.

If you had ever accompanied someone with a serious condition, you would probably think differently.

I don't have that much experience in this area, yet I've personally witnessed several occasions when family advocating for a patient saved their life.

And, sadly, vice versa as well.

This is in the U.S, in major cities, in hospitals that were recommended as being above average by those in the know (medical professionals and other patients.)
I've sometimes heard the following: "How much money do you need to be happy?" "10% more."

But how much money does it cost to make somebody else happy?

It costs money to not argue with the housemate stealing your dish soap, or the person who lost your spare phone while they were using it to play games, or who used the communal office coffee machine without paying the weekly fee.

It's cheap to not fight. Maybe only $10 of soap. Giving even more freely by sharing food, offering rides, or welcoming strangers (CS, BeWelcome) builds even more trust. People don't like to receive gifts, and they'll want to give back even more. When they offer to pay you back, that's when you can ask them to pay it forward to communal expenses. (I got the phone back, by the way)

Money can buy friends: not by showing off, but by giving. And friendship brings happiness.

Or maybe he just wrote down some of the craziest rumors? Individually I think I could buy most of them individually, but together they just seem too much. He married a guy after castrating him and also got married to a guy with himself dressed as the bride? I guess I would consider it more believable if they seemed more 'congruent'.

You should still be careful that your pure logic is actually doing something by itself, rather than just massaging data from one external format to another external format.

A lot of code can be in this are where it is absolutely unit testable, but the unit tests are almost entirely useless, as the code only ever changes because the input or output types change, so the tests also need to change.

I think of this in terms of code that is 'authoritative' for its logic or not.

For example, a sorting method is authoritative - it is the ultimate definition of what sorting means. Also, a piece of code that validates some business rule defined in a document is the authority for that business rule.

But a piece of code that takes input from the user and passes it to some other piece of code is not authoritative for this transformation. The functionality of this kind of code is not defined by some spec, but by 'whatever the other piece of code wants to receive', which may be arbitrarily hard to define.

Depending on the complexity of the transformation, there may still be reasons to test parts of this code, at least to ensure that a new field here doesn't affect the way we transform that other field there, but often only small pieces of it are actually worth testing.
I have never used a graph database but I can say there is one truth in the article: I find I have to stop and structure my app around the tables I need, and have had to stop and reorganize my code and data to fit a proper table structure when I realize my existing table structure doesn't make sense or hits the database too hard.

I have no idea if graph databases are the answer to that problem, but I do get tired of building code to work around my database and it's oddities rather than my data just fitting nicely into the code.

The number of migrations I've built just to change something because the database needed it built differently rather than my application needing it is silly.
I'm not saying I agree with the argument necessarily, but your counter-argument here is obviously flawed: oppressed peoples can't speak their mind freely, and may not have the information to be able to understand their situation fully. To claim that just because you ask someone "are you being oppressed" and they say "no", that they are therefore not being oppressed seems naive at best.
So in about 40 years or so we've gone from sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll to...uh...this for the silly dreams of aspirational youth?

If you accept that a labour union represents collective bargaining of labour against capital, and you accept that government workers do not need to negotiate with capital, then you must conclude that government employees don't need to be unionised.
