There's a general sentiment that all dogs are innocent at heart. If the dog has bad or mean behavior, that's the consequence of its bad experiences, like being outcast as a stray, bad owners, having been hurt before, etc.

You can apply the same line of thinking to humans. Everyone is a victim of their circumatances and experiences.

And while I understand that "everyone is innocent at heart" might be true to only some degree both with humans and dogs (nature vs nurture, etc), you can't really tell by the end result.
Who's going to pay for someone to be unproductive at their job? Corporations surely don't want to anymore.
The big companies also use targeted ads, but with orders of magnitude bigger budgets. It's the big companies who have forced the small business to spend on targeted ads or die.

.. however, they can only travel towards positively charged objects, which they then proceed to make less positive.

Note that at no point do they attempt to quantify these alleged electrons, measure a potential difference between the body and ground, or the magnitude of current flow in the wire.

Moreover, free electrons do not float about in solutions. They're usually carried about by negative ions. If you can change that the battery industry would be very interested to hear about it.

Edit: I'm wrong about not quantifying!

> Electrostatic charge was measured on the skin at the region of the vastus lateralis via an electrostatic voltmeter (ESVM 1000, Wolfgang Warmbier, Germany). The pilot study revealed values of -0.2 ± 0.1 V vs. -81.9 ± 25.6 V (P < 0.001) in the grounded vs. sham-grounded situation clearly demonstrating the effects of grounding via the conductive sheet.

.. but there's another problem. Humans are conductive. Even if there's a net charge on your surface, the charge inside you must be zero in conventional electrostatics.

Also, some of those measured values are negative, so if this alleged effect is tied to electrons, those people are made "worse" by grounding them!

depends on the domain. In anything that has say, a very structured 'data flow' in one direction, like in finance or accounting or versioning immutability works well as a concept. In other domains like say, game development it feels forced and out of place.

If actual usage of paradigms is an indication rather than belief then it doesn't look like functional programming really is intuitive, it tends to be very useful in certain niches.

The article mentions that a temporary extension to the already existing agreement is normal and expected during negotiations. So Google not doing it, presumably to apply pressure on the negotiations is agressive.

>Koda is just starting from a weaker position than YouTube.

Ideally negotiations should be between equals. If this is just Google throwing its e dick around then they need to get a few more antitrust fines.
Yes, I am aware. I am wrong about most. I will say that many engineers should be able to clear the accredited investor rule by their mid to late 30's. The bar is not that high.

And you are wrong about the income rule. It's $300k with a spouse. $200k as an individual. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accredited_investor#United_Sta... : "a natural person with income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year."
How much money does Google make off of ads on Danish music? Maybe it's just not worth the effort at the price Koda is asking for.
Which cheap split keyboard do you use?
Decentralized alternatives such as PeerTube pay musicians less in ad revenue (about $0.00) than Youtube does.

In other words, PeerTube doesn't provide the same benefits to musicians (audience size, recommendations discovery, ad payouts) that Youtube has.

The trigger for the disagreement between Koda musicians and Google is about money payments and not about storage & bandwidth costs. PeerTube in its current incarnation is not relevant for Koda.
I misread, that cloudflare would champion the fight against the common cold. I was disappointed.
Russia would know that any fake stories it posts after hacking the BBC will be immediately taken down and corrected. Not only that, but it lets Western governments know Russia has that capability and take measures to counter it. There's a lot more damage they could do with hacked news sites than just "discrediting NATO." They get little or no benefit out of a hack like this.

On the other hand, if this thread is any indication, domestic intelligence agencies which want to foment anti-Russian sentiment can get a lot of mileage out of the idea this is another dastardly cyberattack by the Russkies.

Germany is not on the eastern flank of NATO, many of the troops being withdrawn will be relocated closer to Russia [0] .
And again the move was spurred in part by Germany's pipeline with Russia - Nord Stream 2. Which clearly shows the Trump administration is taking stronger steps to punish NATO members which cooperate with Russia.

> Trump administration has NOT been extraordinarily compliant to Russian demands is just ridiculous

Yes, this is completely false. The Trump administration has been tougher on pretty much everything involving Russian interests. From Ukraine, Iran, Syria, sanctions on Russia, to yes strengthening the eastern flank of NATO.

But is that reasonable? Shouldn’t the musicians be the ones how decide how much they want for their music?

What if you can’t put on concerts, like it’s the case right now, do your work then become worthless?

Honestly I think the issue is the record labels. The need to seriously reduce their cut and let the musicians keep the bulk of the royalties.

It’s a little concerning that a Youtube channel with maybe 500 - 1000 Patreon supports and few ads can be a living, but musicians need to tour, to make a profit. That seems to indicate, to me at least, that Youtube may not be the problem.
> So the ends justify the means, whatever that may be?

Do you honestly believe that is a fair summary of their words?
I know, this is tangentially related to the article and discussion at hand, because small business have little control over this, but I think we're at this point now because along with targeted ads come privacy issues. The ad targeting industry has earned the distrust of people via countless hacks of databases housing personal data that didn't need to be there. Facebook, specifically, is no saint in this regard with its shadow profiles and so on.

If companies could properly secure your data and only collect what is needed, Apple wouldn't feel the need to take matters into their own hand.

yes,

Homoiconicity is about having the same syntax for both structure and data.

First class functions means there is no conversion, again at syntax level, between a function and a value.

Mainstream languages all have a way to see code as data, it's function pointer in C, delegate and lambda in C# and first class functions in Python or JavaScript.
As previously stated above, that method is explicitly disallowed by the law:

> Responsible digital platform corporations may not discriminate between the news businesses participating in the code, or between participants and non-participants, because of their participation in the code.

Yeah, as much as I hate the university as an institution, they're still necessary for a large amount of people (in practice) These threads tend to be filled with comments that assume everyone is a developer and / or should be. Unfortunately many, if not most high paying jobs will still require higher education, particularly the stereotypically well paying ones. You aren't going to become a doctor, engineer (non software), lawyer, etc. without that degree unfortunately.
I was thinking more as an argument against freely-distributed products/services with a big negative downside for the user/consumer.

We don't allow an electric company to offer a "premium service tier" with a line installed to your house and a "free tier" for people who want to climb a pole and attach their own cable — even if there are a small number people could do this safely.

Now this could lead some people not to be able to afford, say, paid-only email, but then there could be options for people who can't pay for email, like a government program or non-profit organizations, just like there is for people who can't afford their electric bills. A church or other community group could even provide email to their members if you don't want it to be a government program, for example.

Google is a large company. It's enterprise, not a startup. Stock grants are not an incentive to retain employees while working toward a liquidation event...Google IPO'd the better part of twenty years ago. It's no big deal if an employee leaves because the typical employee is not a critical hire. The typical employee is a fungible body selected from the best available at the moment.
Currently I use the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, an enormous dinosaur which can reliably be bought for $20 used. I had the Microsoft Sculpt keyboard for a few years before that, which I liked, but the build quality was very bad and I had two break on me.

I'm going to switch to either a goldtouch or kinesis freestyle soon, since I don't like the number pad. Those are $80-$120 but I hope the build quality will pay off in the long run.
Best Buy employees don't get commission. When I worked there 5 years ago, management encouraged us to add services to bulk up numbers, but employees never really cared because it never comes back to hurt them if they don't.

For those cables, I doubt you could find an employee that would recommend them to a customer. For accessories, the focus was more on the count attached to an order. Cheap HDMI cables were usually the recommendation because it would add something to the order and customers were more likely to get them over the $100 cables. Those overpriced cables are sold because there is always some customer that only wants to buy the best of the best and Best Buy is glad to help them with that.

So you are likely to get some salesman pressure, but it's not what people think it is. The pushing usually comes when you are checking out and they offer the protection plans. But again, if you tell them no, that's usually the last you will hear of it because it doesn't really mean much to an employee if they don't attach it.

You will find a crazy employee every so often that thinks acting like a car salesman will make them management's favorite person, but I think you could find those people at most jobs.
> Patreon’s terms included language that allowed any users of the platform to litigate their case individually under California’s JAMS arbitration scheme.

You specifically said:

My experience is directly counter to that, given that it was a non-investigated wire fraud despite being blatant and the money going to a known local address/account. Saying that ACHs are better doesn't correct those overstatements of yours.

In the southeast of the US longer pine needles from varieties of pines such as slash pine are used for garden mulch. Ironically, this was later in the season than I normally do this, I just laid down 52 bales of mulch in my garden.

Here it is common for a few reasons.

1. It is in-expensive (about $3.75 a bale).
2. It provides insulation to the plant roots to keep the soil warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.
3. On steep inclines it tends to knit together to stay on the incline to prevent erosion.
4. As it breaks down it amends the soil with nutrients.

The only negative is that you have to add new mulch every year because it mostly breaks down after a year.

People who have pine tree farms use this as an extra revenue source.

Anything that requires following the rules will fail in the Unites States.

Police at polling stations to enforce rules is also considered voter intimidation thanks to Jim Crow jackassery a century and a half ago, so that is also a no go. We are also super litigious.

We have had large in-person primary voter turnouts without resulting surges in COVID cases, so I think it isn't really a danger.
> It's a tool. Use it when appropriate.

I agree it is a tool but since its definition (or multiple definitions because it appears there are many conflicted OOP philosophies out there) is not very clear and it leads to a lot of needlessly confused ways of using it.

If it weren't so hyped in the first place maybe it would have evolved in a more harmonious way and it wouldn't be the subject to bashing now. I personally can use it for my projects, but I am in no way inclined to save it from bashing, it did bit me multiple times when my intuition was telling me otherwise. I guess what goes around comes around.
For what it's worth, I've always found this confusing, and every time I encounter it, it slows me down for a second.

I don't know if I'm an average reader or not. I wonder what that even means in this context: I imagine the average reader is probably expecting consistency with other media outlets.

It's especially odd when an organization always insists on capitalizing its own abbreviated title (NATO, NASA, OPEC, etc.) but the BBC refuses to do it. Seems like an instance of esthetics getting in the way of clarity.
