hate itself is real - a word that has a negative connotation, but was never illegal in itself. You could always hate a person or a football club. That word was taken, rebranded to include among other things everything critical of government and made illegal. That's why hate speech is made up. What is called hate speech today was called a rant, "hot take", an insult or whatever just a couple of years ago. Today we literally have a law against "hate crime" - another doubleplusgood word. These things are not real, they're tools to oppress a critical population. Also note that even true things fall under those "crimes". It doesn't matter if what you say is true as long as it's "insulting" to someone.
Agreed. I see tests as the double entry accounting of programming, they let you make changes with a lot more confidence that you're only changing what you want and not some unexpected thing.

They're not for catching unknown bugs, they're for safer updates.
For some reason, I can't zoom via main menu (View/Zoom). Level 3 menu just diappears. (My browser is Firefox if this matters.) Keyboard accelerators don't work either (e.g. Alt+V,Z,L). Only level 1 menu works via keyboard accelerator (Alt+V).
How about this, instead labelling something as overrated, start with a more positive and differentiating point of view:

- when to use unit-tests ?

- when are other tests more useful ?

- which bugs can unit-tests find ?

- in what situations is changing code to make it testable some-times beneficial ?

- when is it a complete waste of time to make code unit-testable ?

Things to consider when answering these questions above:

- what is the customer impact if there is bug ?

- what is the developer impact if there is bug ?

- what is the developer impact writing tests ?

- how quickly can we fix it and release a new version ?

- how quickly can we fix the hotfix in case we messed up ?

- how can we find out if there is a bug ?

[...]

I think it is great that he starts thinking about the value of unit-tests and testing in general in his particular context.

But i think it helps keeping an open mind knowing that some approaches work better than others depending on the context.
A conclusion I'm leaning toward is that any sufficiently large and complex political system evolves to a focus on veto as the principle means of power. The etymology, direct from Latin, for "I forbid", is insightful.

https://www.etymonline.com/word/veto

This even appears in technical projects, e.g., Linus Torvalds, who's for years been the Linux kernal's "no" man:

[I]n the end, my job is to say no. Somebody has to be able to say no to people.

https://linux.slashdot.org/story/20/07/03/2133201/linus-torv...

Smaller, simpler systems, with greater levels of trust, or greater inequalities of power, seem to avoid this. Large ones, not.

I'm sure there's some discussion of this in political theory, though I'm unaware of it. Listing out a typology of other loci of power would also be interesting.
Fair enough, I should have been more charitable.

I think it's a pun on "insightful". Reddit likes puns.
* If the delivery fee doesn't cover delivery, then charge a higher delivery fee.*

Why doesn't that reasoning apply to restaurants? If the fees cut into their profits too much, then they need to raise prices.

There is no free lunch here (ha!). The customer is always going to be paying for both the food and the delivery. There's no benefit in micromanaging the internal transactions.
It's "balanced" in so far as some parts are charitable, sure, but then it's also peppered with insinuations:

> This plea conformed with the online persona he has publicly cultivated over the years—that of a gentle headmaster preparing to chaperone a rambunctious group of boys on a museum outing—but, in this case, it seemed to lend plausible deniability to what he surely knew would be taken as incitement.

I just can't see that being written in good faith.
You are right comrade. The workers must unite! We must rise up and overthrow the bourgeois and sieze the means of production.

Is a man not a man I say? Why should some live in comfort and others in squealer? What has the capitalist given society? Dead honest men. All institutions are built to ensure the means of production do not change, we must overthrow the police that oppress, the government that oppresses, religion the opiate of the people, the military as their jack booted thugs, all must go. They steal food from the orphan and place it as caviar on the capitalist plate. LET US RISE UP BROTHERS ONLY THE PROLETARIAT IS JUST! WE BUILD THE DICTATORSHIP OF THE PROLETARIAT ON THE BROKEN BACK OF THE CAPITALIST!

RISE UP COMRADES, RISE UP, RISE UP!

Ford doesn't offer features or prices such that this would be a problem.

I was under the impression that police variants of cars are heavily modified for structural and performance reasons, at least in the US. e.g. someone once gave me a ride in an auctioned used Interceptor and demonstrated the switchable performance and traction modes that were unique to that version.
Yet the numbers in Copenhagen and the Malmö region are comparable despite having very different policies. The population density is about the same (although the density characteristics are not).
I had a pretty substantial increase in salary about 13 month ago and can confirm: it increased my happiness a lot.

I'm absolutely certain that another increase is that magnitude would still increase it immeasurably. Further increased however would have significant diminishing returns and drop off entirely at around triple my current wage I think .

I find this very interesting, considering that the average CEO gets significantly more than I would get after tripling my current wage.

But I guess that just shows that ppl that fill the role of a CEO are a different breed. Personally, I'm glad I don't feel entitled nor particularly want so much more money then my colleagues. And honestly, I have trouble feeling any empathy toward them at times, considering how they usually behave.

I do think there will eventually be abloody falling out between our classes. Times have changed however, and I doubt workers will be able to 'win' anymore.

At least I'm already over 30, so I likely won't have to live long in the shithole this place will become.
And base that delivery fee on distance between the restaurant and the customer as well. They can solve it they want to. People in treasure might be willing to pay a higher fee than to not get any delivery at all. It’s political posturing and pressure tactics.
You're welcome! Just doing my part!
Hi! It's been a long time since I set it up and I haven't documented much of the process.

Infrastructure wise:
- It's your basic web app setup;

- Cloud Load balancer with a static IP, listening on port 80 and 443 (presenting an SSL Certificate) and forwarding on this traffic to the webhead.

- the webhead is a small cloud server which acts as Web Server/Application Server, communicating with a MySQL database backend (unfortunately this is a bit of a pet server, I don't have it's config written in code)
- Web Server listening on port 80 & 443
- "standard file" listening locally on port 3000

- the database is a MySQL Compatible cloud sql instance on GCP (cost savings can definitely be achieved here by hosting the database on the same compute engine server)

Setup:
I set up a "standard file" server using the ruby server instructions. Though looking up on the state of the project it appears that "standard file" is now deprecated, the replacement is the "Syncing Server" - this looks very much like the existing standard file server, the EC2-nginx documentation is the same (https://github.com/standardfile/ruby-server & https://docs.standardnotes.org/self-hosting/ec2-nginx)

Most of my pain that i encountered was getting the ruby and passenger to work properly, but once I got ruby-bundler and stuff working it was mostly smooth sailing.

I've just updated my standard file server to the new 'syncing server' repo tonight and it was painless too;

- I stopped the running service

- git cloned the new repo

- copied my .env file over to the new directory

- changed the service to bind to tcp://127.0.0.1:3000

- `bundle install --path vendor/bundle` - to pull down the required dependencies

- `bundle exec rails db:migrate` - to migrate my existing database to the new schema (BACKUP YOUR DATABASE BEFORE DOING THIS - your database is your notes)

- i modified the path of my systemd service and `systemctl daemon-reload` to update the cached unit files and with a quick restart it started and worked first time.

Differences from the Documented setup:

- Puma is configured to bind to port 3000 on the localhost:
in config/puma.rb;
add the following line:

bind ENV.fetch("BIND") { "tcp://127.0.0.1:3000" }

comment out this line:

port ENV.fetch("PORT") { 3000 }

- OS: Ubuntu 18.04 instead of Amazon Linux AMI

- Web Server: Apache, acting with the Passenger plugin as a reverse proxy (because I was already using it to front my website), and I already make use of Letsencrypt for the two domains served from this system, using a wildcard cert.

- Service Management: I wrote a very barebones systemd unit to start and stop the ruby service (this needs updated to match the now current one i'm using) https://github.com/Tsiklon/standard-file-unit/blob/master/st... I didn't use docker as I've not used it too much in anger.

This shows 1,648 relays potentially having their traffic monitored under this law. Out of 6,432 relays, that makes up more than 25% of all Tor relays.

Unfortunately, Tor's design doesn't really go far enough in protecting against adversaries with large swaths of visibility. Perhaps it's time for people to begin shifting to I2P, or some other overlay network with more resilience against these types of adversaries.

Edit: This page gives you a nice visual representation of how much that consists of. Germany is the big one. https://metrics.torproject.org/bubbles.html#country

Seems that you are trying to bootstrap off of Adverse Possession, where Alan uses Bob's land for a certain period (often 20 years) and ends up owning it.

But it does not work that way

Adverse Possession requires that the use be "open and notorious" and uncontested. [1]

The potential possessor must be using it in a way that is obvious (i.e., not sneaky), and not objected to by the owner.

Sure, the uses of the native lands have been open and notorious, but they have been continuously and vigorously contested.

This time, the owners finally won their contesting of the use of their land.

Yeah we have thought about other ways to transfer and are constantly looking into them. We want it to be as frictionless as possible.

We are considering rolling out the ability to fund accounts with debit cards in the near future, but the transaction fees are quite high. That's the drawback.

We would love to find a way to hook into Venmo or Cash App, but we've yet to find a feasible way to make it work seamlessly. If anyone has ideas on how we could do that, e-mail me at adam@withyotta.com as I would love to chat on this topic.
To be more specific, the problem is that malware is a separate category from useful and harmless application code that people want to run but that Apple doesn't want to allow for a variety of reasons, but Apple forbids both types of software.

(Focusing on user consent obscures the actual problem; people often consent to running malware. What matters is whether the software to be run is useful and harmless.)
That's exactly the problem. Congress is supposed to do the majority of the work.

lmao I'm a communist, and viewing police as an oppressive force in capitalist countries is bog-standard.

Governments are a tool in which one class oppresses another class. In capitalist countries, the government is considered a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, where business owners/landlords own the government, create the laws, and oppress the working class in order to maintain a class hierarchy. In communist countries, specifically those that follow Marxist-Leninism, i.e. Russia, Cuba, The working class seizes control of the government, and thus, it becomes a tool to oppress the bourgeoisie.

The difference is, in capitalist countries, the working class is necessary to maintain the wealth of the ownership class, so the oppression must be stable but constant (using the police force). In communist countries, the bourgeoisie are NOT necessary for anything, and thus 'police' are used to oppress them until they do not exist as a class anymore. The gulags were an institution to reform bourgeoisie into working people (rather than just executing them). American prisons however, do not do any reforming, but keep and torture the working class prisoners in order to destroy their soul and extract profit from them.

The amount of effort spent finding errors before you ship it has to be related to to cost of fixing errors including the consequences of the errors if they're found after you ship.

If errors in your system result in death, and if changes must go through an expensive and time consuming process to be approved, and then an expensive and time consuming process to be applied, you should spend a lot of time ensuring your design is sound, and your implementation matches your design. A good place for formal methods.

If you're writing server side code, and deploy takes 5 minutes, you can be a cowboy for most things that won't leave a persistant mess or convince customers to leave.

If you're writing client side code that needs to go through a pre-publication review, neither cowboy or formal methods is a good choice.
I'd love to see this adjusted for cost of living, perhaps by using the Big Mac Index. $160k in SF gets you a 1 bedroom apartment; $160k in Idaho gets you a mansion.

When you take over land by squatting, you aren't "amending the law". You are amending land records using the judicial system. So I don't think the comparison holds up.

And considering that these Indian tribes have been fighting for their land since the beginning, it also doesn't really meet the criteria of someone squatting unnoticed on some land.

If someone just started building on your land right now, and you filed a complaint and called the police and no one would come to help you remove them legally for a decade, they aren't going to eventually just get title to your land. Filing complaints and calling the police has disputed their claim.
they have banned anyone who had many connections with the movement, it dose not even matter if you have not violated the guidlines.
The problem is that doBusinessLogic(a) is often entirely about transforming a into whatever the current DB accepts. Sure, you can write a test to check that b.Field_old == a["field"] , but this buys you very little. 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.

By all means, if the transformation is non-trivial, and it is captured entirely in the logic of this method, not in the shape of the API and the DB, then you should unit test it (e.g. say you are enforcing some business rules, or computing some fields based on othee fields). But if you're just passing data around, this type of testing is a waste of time (you don't have reasons to change the code if the API or DB don't change, so the tests will never fail), and brittle (changes in the API or in the DB will require changing both the code and the tests, so the tests failing doesnt help you find any errors you didn't know about).
How does that change anything? The point is that a relay isn't an exit node, so there's no reasonable reason to block them.

> Why have all these restaurants signed up if 25% is so unfair?

Here is my impression of the problem:
Say the restaurant was taking $10 for each order, making $3 in profit per order. i.e, cost is $7.

Before delivery apps:
100 orders/day. Total profit $300.

After delivery apps:
200 orders/day, cost $7, sale $7.5 (-25% fee), $0.5 profit per order. Total profit $150.

After delivery apps, if you don't sign up for the app and agree to their 25% fee:
50 orders (because people are mostly using the app now), total profit $150.

If true, it is a lose-lose for restaurants. Their profit margin is going down either way. On top of that their costs are likely going up, since they have to serve more orders.
Something like this should probably be part of a browser's developer tools.
Unresolved. All they've really judged is the jurisdiction of the state government over tribal members in this area of the state. It does not affect non-tribal members. And it may also only apply to tribal members who have committed crimes against other tribal members.

So the scope is very limited at this point, but it does open the door for more interesting discussions.

Yes, but it may be based on a flawed precedent that only the supreme court can overturn. There are also many circuit decisions which conflict with each other that SCOTUS has refused to address. In these instances the court is allowing one of those two plaintiffs to be screwed.

The opportunity probably isn't for an existing political party to move to the center - it's for a third party to come up the center, capitalize on the two major parties being so obsessed with making the other lose that they can't articulate a clear reason why they should win, and capture the voters who have become cynical about politics altogether.

Its worse than that. A vast proportion of non-white crime is manufactured by cops and the media to scare whites into bringing back slavery in all but name. Black neighborhoods are actually the safest places in America if racist cops would stop harassing innocent citizens just because they are PoC.

The reaosn their P/E is nowhere is because they're not going to be making any revenue at all in 2025 at this rate short of a government bailout.

Sadly this isn't the first time this has happened in the history of open data. I remember when Kalamazoo's crimes API got shut down by the chief of police. It still has not returned.

There could be a small "future tourism" market for people wealthy enough to afford it and willing to leave behind everything and everyone they know.

As a way for people to escape a bad present in hopes of a better future, I don't think it would make much sense. The only people who could afford it probably have a pretty good present.
