My Bizarre Stint as an Amazon Reviewer for Hire
I don't understand some things regarding the resoning:

If you assume S(n) is true, n being any natural number, what good does it to to prove that S(n+1) is also true since it is included in the initial assumption imho.

If you define "P and Q are any members of G" then "everybody in G except P" can only mean to me an empty group. Also "Let R be someone else in G other than P or Q" can only mean R must be outside the group.

Can somebody explain these to me?

> Publicly traded companies can't afford to play favorites, they "have to" go where the profits are and make the best of it, whether it's decades of being the mole in a wack-a-mole game with the Chinese system, or having to invest extra billions in India.

True to some extent only. Apart from profits, publicly traded companies also clamour for a stable business environment. And authoritarian countries have an inherent risk, due to the nature of their government and uncertainty on the world stage.

No one can make 50 year plans for China, like they can do with US, Europe or UK. It's the same case with India too.

Democracies provide an extra level of stability.

I would gladly go back to using FreeBSD as a desktop OS if the software support was better. I'm not particularly skilled with either FreeBSD or Linux, but I never can seem to figure out what the hell is going on when Linux breaks, whereas with FreeBSD and NetBSD I've been able to deduce and even drop down and read the kernel source if I have to.
7 years or more after choosing FreeBSD. This in no way vouches for their expertise in 2012.
Valid point. I have to admit I'm a bit "video call vain" as well. I like to make sure my hair doesn't look too crazy and my room doesn't look too messy before getting on zoom/skype/etc. But one thing the last few months has taught me is that many of my friends/colleagues/family really don't care about these things!
It is certainly not unintended.

Even without their will to control information for political purposes they would have not allowed such a key industry to be controlled by foreign players, and they have a strategy of creating a strong national industry in all sectors.
For the context —- the framework to rule India was constructed by the British. While it’s easy to focus on the political structure, it should be noted that the day to day work is carried out by the bureaucratic apparatus, which was put in place by the British.

Institutions such as civil services, education framework, public works department, court, corporate laws, penal code etc are all from the British era, carried forward post independence with minimal change if at all.

It is this bureaucratic structure that makes India work and any work needs to make it’s way through this to get implemented. Whatever politicians promise is largely irrelevant, by and large because they’ve been known to get lost in this labyrinth of bureaucracy.

The Indian version of British comedy “Yes Minister” was quite popular in India, for a good reason as Indian could relate to it .

So yes, Indian ruling structure is definitely closer to “West” than to China. But we could be more specific and say it’s close to British, because they were the ones who put it in place to begin with.
Hi Steve, thanks for your talk and for the links. Are those repos pixie dependencies? Or are you saying that pixie works like those repos?
All that applies to several other very mature languages that can target WASM, like C.

Nevertheless, WASM is not ideal for server work. It is intended for the frontend.
I’ll go a step further. I agree going through all of the trouble writing and promoting a book for only a $100K seems like a lot of work. Especially when you consider the risk adjusted return.

Anyone that smart could make more than that - guaranteed just by consulting.

I’m most familiar with the Apple related ecosystem, but there you see people with a following making a money via optional subscriptions (Accidental Tech Podcast,Upgrade), subscription only podcasts (Dithering by John Gruber and Ben Thompson), or daily newsletters (Ben Thompson).

If he is not doing just for the money, then go for it. Another example is John Siracusa of ATP. He wrote large reviews of each version of OS X for the first 10 years that literally took months, did much more than his contract required and admitted that if he actually accounted for every hour he worked on it, it paid much less than minimum wage.

One more mention is Horace Deidu. He got his start as an analyst, started podcasting and now hosts paid workshops and conferences.

- If a mask prevents you from touching your face and that reduces the probability of contracting the disease. Then masks do indeed protect you.

I feel that this is a strawman.

but even if we ignore the face-touching, I don't understand how is it possible for masks to make things worse.

if we were talking about bacteria, then yes the bacteria can fester there.

but if the virus is carried by droplets, and a part of these droplets end up on the mask instead of in your nose.
then surely that would reduce the probability of being infected right?

The reason vim is accepted despite being unintuitive is because you spend all your time in it.

China is an heavily export oriented economy losing access to the markets of the advanced economies day-by-day. Their play is to pivot into a consumer market before their foreign reserves eventually dries up, but that's hindered by the large population.

I'm pretty sure that we're at the point where no one and nothing is putting the Chinese genie back in the bottle.

I don't agree with the CCP on many things, but China has stood up.

At this point the Chinese ascent can only be slowed down but they will only go down if they implode. Which I don't think anyone wants.
I've always mentally pronounced chmod as changemod (and changepass, changeroot, changegroup), I guess it was sort of intuitive. Going back to the comment about dyslexia and naming, the unix core utils are probably a good example of "a lot" of abbreviated names that might be difficult to read for people with dyslexia. I wonder if there is a project to automatically create long named aliases for those (list, move, copy, remove...)
People seem desperate for one language to rule them all. If you don't need a binary, blazing fast multi-threaded speed, and memory safety then you probably don't need Rust. "Need" being the big thing here. Do you need these things or are they just nice to haves in your head. A scripting language and a web browser can solve a surprising amount of application requirements these days, and its only getting better with time.
I never said masks make things worse (with the exception of the doctor) - I think I said the opposite.

My doctor should wear something that has a filter capable of catching the virus, such as FFP3 respirator. When you breathe in, droplets get through the mask (this gets progressively worse as the mask gets wet) - and if the mask is not a FFP3, you're making a bet that none of the droplets that get through are contaminated, because the mask does not protect you from the virus, it merely protects you from some of the droplets around you; only the correct filter will protect you. The virus is around 50-100 nanometers.

Your post does not really say anything, so it is somewhat difficult to know what exactly you're talking about. However the way this is written is very similar to the usual globalwarming sceptics, skin color intelligence crowd etc.. The general argument is always "we are just questioning the status quo, just want to look at all angles..." the reason why these positions are being called anti-scientific is because they are always politically motivated and try to prove this political ideology, while at the same time ignoring any counterevidence.

Similar to the documentary of those flat earth guys that try to disprove the earth is round, but all results show that it in fact is, so they dismiss their own evidence. That is what is unscientific.
> Additionally, Reliance is highly respected in India. When the current CEOs father ran the company, millions of middle-class families in India bought houses, cars, got their children married, gathered retirement funds, etc riding on the sheer growth of Reliance as a company.

Reliance is one of the companies that actually care about retail investors, at times even going to extreme measures to help them. For instance, in 1982 they took on the notorious bear cartel and even beat them:

The bear cartel was successful in bringing the share price down but Dhirubhai was smart. He realized that if this bear cartel was allowed to go on, they would have taken the share price down to wherever they wanted, and you know who would have lost? Ambani wouldn’t have lost, it’s the small investor that would have lost money and they would have lost faith in Reliance. So he said, you can’t hammer my shares

One of the duties of an expert is explaining things to the public. Yes, the public is not perfect. It's argumentative, uneducated, intolerant and has all other unpleasant traits one can think about.

Sorry, dear experts, we don't have another public to offer you. You will probably have to deal with what you have and explain that the earth is not flat over and over again. This is normal. Please don't be snobbish and please descend from the skies to the level of laypeople.

I have no idea how these prices were calculated, but I can tell you that the prices for the credits cards are quite correct (at least approximately). $20 for a credit card with $5k limit is not worth $5k - you've got to actually get value from it, usually by trying to buy goods or bitcoin with it, which is very risky, time consuming, requires a lot of skill and effort, and you won't get the full $5k from it. The people selling them are presumably "hackers" looking to make money off of stolen PII/FI.

People is downvoting you, but you are correct. Rust is ideal for CPU-bound problems were performance is critical. For typical web services, not so much. It is hard to justify the extra development cost, even if hiring were easy (which it isn't in the majority of the world).
> clamour for a stable business environment

> Democracies provide an extra level of stability.

That's very true which is why I said "make the best of it" (i.e. "of a bad situation"). Companies will have to operate under different assumptions and making different plans than they would under normal conditions. Think "peace time vs. war time CEOs". But this is what makes these companies successful, the ability to juggle with unknowns, hostile conditions, uncertain future. It's a gamble but not that different from what Tesla or SpaceX did when jumping into the unknown. They're different types of unknowns but still just as risky, able to easily sink a ship.

The article does not make it immediately obvious what language version the original made-in-2008 product was written in. Python 2.7 was not released until two years later, in summer 2010.
That could add to the idea that language is primarily the tool we use for thought. If you can't have abstract thought without language (in humans), as Chomsky claims, then that would fit perfectly with an observation that people who are incapable of language are also incapable of 'higher' thought.

I'm not personally sure whether this observation is accurate or not.

My take on it is, the FreeBSD handbook (https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/) will give you answers on how to fix 90% of your everyday problems.

I don't think it's that straightforward.

If you're in a "law enforcement free-zone" and can bank a recurring service fee versus a one-time scam running these kind of services, why not engage in such behaviour?

There are career criminals with reputations also.
You are surprisingly right, after asking this question I was consiering how I alreay have enought materialistic posessions. Altough its sentimental value is high in my eyes, I really don't need this, as you youself said, becuase I already have enough material posessions. Thank you for your answer, it really made me reconsider.
The recruiter that brought me to the UK from Romania found me by using some weird github search project that told him I was one of the top ruby developers in the country, based on stars I had on some open source redmine plugins I worked on at my last job. Pretty wild when I think about it now.
Yes, not only is it very risky to attempt to withdraw money from them, often times you won't manage to get the full amount out before fraud systems go off. Same with credit cards.
Try this in the JS console:

$('#btn-window').setAttribute('style', 'left: 95%; right: 5%; transform: translate(-50%,0%);')
It's not a scam. Those scenes live by reputation alone. If you need something as a once in a lifetime service you are well advised to use a trusted third party within the scene. Those are either trade mods or well known veterans.

If you become familiar and known in the scene the risk of being scammed is very low and if it happens it's more like a "one last money grab and I am done thing" where the person offering the service will disappear. But since this works once per online persona this really doesn't happen that often.
> I keep reading in Rust surveys that Rustaceans just don't care that much about compile times enough to prioritize improving them.

I am interested in how you got that impression, because at least in our official surveys, it's often one of the most-requested improvements to Rust, and it's something that we're constantly working on improving. Still a ton of work to do though!

For what it's worth, my workflow is closer to yours than "compile twice a day." And if you're using rust-analyzer, by default, it compiles the code every save!
