It is designed to allow poor people to have meat. A modern miracle really.

I don’t purchase it because I have enough money to buy chickens that been humanely raised. I believe this is a moral obligation if you can afford it. But I won’t judge people who can’t afford it to buy chickens raised this way. If my fortunes change I will be grateful I can still buy a chicken. While I’m not in that situation I will continue to consume free range, organic, “happy chickens” that only had 1 bad day.
Higher churn leads to more features being crammed in which leads to more bugs and increased technical debt.

Yeah, my brother used to work in a building that was cooled like this with a 'chilled beam' system - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chilled_beam

Apparently it works pretty well.
Some people are picky about this, but in many languages the main science-like word is way more uncontroversially broad. German Wissenschaft covers a whole range of scholarship from physics to humanities and there's no competition for who gets to call their field a Wissenschaft, because mostly anything pursied in academia is considered one.

In the Anglo world "Science" seems to be a badge of honor, a title to earn and it leads to cargo culting and physics envy and mock quantitative analysis just for the show.

It's better to make specific criticisms about particular methods in the particular contexts, rather than fight over semantics and definitions of words. "This isn't science" is a lazy and uninformative critique. Better is: this and this quantitative analysis or structured approach would better help us uncover the truths behind this topic.

You mean like the way all citizens are entitled to choose their representatives that passed AB5 in the first place?

California has a strong history of voters holding politicians doing unpopular things accountable (see: Gray Davis) or doing things that override the will of politicians (see: Prop 13). There has not been strong voter organization against AB5, which speaks volumes about how much of a non-issue it is for voters.

> This is literally part of what whistleblowers do.

No, this is outsourcing your whistleblowing activities to journalists. It is leaking unvetted data in the hope that there is something of public note/damaging to your employer in there (of course there is, top secret and noforn classifications are there for a reason)

> Whistleblower protections that didn’t really exist?

They existed. Just because Snowden did not like his chances with American justice does not mean whistleblower protections do not exist. Obama even pardoned Chelsea Manning (I believe that leak was part of a suicidal life style).

> One which they got for callously breaking the law?

I am not saying the PR disaster is not warranted. I am noting the extend of the PR disaster. I am also adding the soft-ball questions from journalists, and Snowden's meticilously prepared talking points.

> What kind of confirmation do you want? You can’t just put things in quotes and hope to weaken them.

The NSA coming out and saying these documents are real. Thread OP was talking about proof, but proof requires a better standard. Of course, it is highly likely these were real documents, and the Chinese or Russians did not add false documents to muddy it, like they do with their own leaks. I actually added the quotes, not to be pedantic, but to ward against pedantic replies.

I'm newly vegetarian since it's the cheapest way to eat (source- Efficiency Is Everything)

Egg + milk vegetarian is quite easy and satisfied any meat cravings, where when I try to eat vegan I feel lacking.

I know there's the whole morality behind chicken eggs and milk, so I don't see vegetarian as the end destination for anyone who cares about ethics/morals.
> I'm disappointed that it still doesn't incorporate a tool for one common case, runtime type checking. Node.js REST servers receive a lot of JSON objects and it would be nice to automatically check that they actually follow type.

You are using the wrong tool for the job then. There are json-schema libraries made for that purpose. It has absolutely nothing to do with Typescript which is just basically a static type analyser, not a language with a runtime, since it does absolutely nothing at runtime.
This is about lying to the FTC, not about paying off hackers to keep data private. Ransomware has shown that the latter is accepted even if not exactly legal.

> The database included the drivers’ license numbers for approximately 600,000 people who drove for Uber.

Drivers licenses are deterministic and can be generated by knowing full name and DOB and state. They aren't PII.
Exactly. “High-school type problems” are created by immature people, not the tool. That kind of behavior would never be tolerated at any of the companies I’ve worked at, no matter what the medium.

Tech companies, and startups in particular, tend to have these problems because their culture and leadership is sophomoric and immature, and those people hire and promote (or fail to fire) similar people.

If a CEO thinks this is a problem in their company, then they need to, well, be a CEO and do something about it. Leadership sets the tone. Lack
of leadership creates a void.
> I agree, it should be built in. But have you tried Zod? It’s amazing.

Not it shouldn't, since it would affect runtime performances.

No, it is not

> The correlation between per capita GDP and quality of life is not perfect, yet it's there nonetheless.

That's an understatement!

If the country with the largest GDP cannot even keep babies alive like Estonia can do, it must mean something...

> For example, the US has a much higher proportion of its population of sub-Saharan African ancestry,

I come from a country where hundreds thousands of people come from Africa every year

Have you ever had an emperor that ruled your continent born in Africa?

Because I do!

Your arguments are weak at best

Are you a racist?

Because, you know, people coming to US from central Africa are not that many, unless you count slaves brought there 300 years ago.

If 300 years are not enough to treat them like everybody else, I guess there's a problem...

> has higher infant mortality rates in European countries as well.

It actually does not

I do not make the statistics

At the top of the page, Ben writes that he's a "Functional Programming Enthusiast", so he'll at least have a vague familiarity with Scheme and similar languages, even if he doesn't use them.

S-expressions are a widely used standard data format and are not exclusive to Lisps. If this is just to read in configuration files, and the resulting data structures never change after they're read in, he can get away with using calloc instead of a garbage collector, and null-terminated char * C-style strings.

Lisps (including Scheme) have more heavyweight implementations of strings and symbols than Ben has here, with an extra level of indirection: a symbol's name slot points to a string struct, which contains a pointer into an array of chars and a length. He can get away with a null-terminated char * and a struct containing an enum to distinguish them. For Lisp programming, the extra complexity is essential but for reading a config file into a game written in C, it's accidental. I don't know what kind of game he's writing but presumably it isn't anything like Abuse or Crash Bandicoot.

In the first paragraph, he writes, "I turned away from XML because I'd rather be as library independent as possible." This implies that he might have considered embedding a Lisp but decided against it for the same reason.

Regardless of the apology, Adobe should not be allowed to simply dismiss that they deleted user files. In effect, due to Adobe negligence, they have destroyed user intellectual property. A signal and example needs to be made. Individual users can sue for damages -- lost value and opportunity -- illegal destruction of property.

The computer fraud and abuse act could also be applied for criminal charges -- Adobe misused and misappropriated their access to customer data and systems. Arguing that it was a "mistake" and "we are sorry" does not correct the damage done. If Adobe makes such a fuss over protecting their IP, then they should not be surprised when their customers do so also. There is a potential for a class action here as well. And Adobe is very profitable -- some legal team representing this case, even if pro bono, will be/become quite rich.

Moreover, telling people that they should have X, and Y, and Z, to protect themselves from the mistakes of rogue actors/apps, is simply a displacement of responsibility tactic.

Just because something illegal/damaging was "done with a computer" does not mean it was "ok" and "an apology is enough" -- now pay us for our services you miserable worm/user!
> 1. Just fire the shitty people. I don't know why companies don't do this more in the US - it's at-will, just fire them.

I've asked this question of managers many times. The answer is usually some variation on "The shitty ones are the ones who know how to work the system to their advantage the best. They're the most likely to sue for wrongful termination and otherwise make my life hell if I fire them."
I really hope they manage to separate the brake and gas pedal technology from the onboard computer. To the best of my understanding, there’s a central processing unit that controls everything and can receive remote commands.

One of my favorite quotes from The Prestige (2006):

Alfred Borden : I had a similar trick in my act, and, uh... I used a double.

Gerald Root: Mm, I see, very good.

Borden: Well, it was, and then it went bad. What I didn't count on was that, when I incorporated this bloke into my act, he had complete power over me.

Root : Complete power, you say?

I think about this quote often when I think if dependencies.

My coworker wrote a bot for Slack that spams most of our channels with random gifs throughout the day. Most of my other coworkers find it amusing, but to me, it's quite distracting. I opened an issue with Slack to ask them to add an "ignore" feature, but they responded that ignoring anyone is counterproductive so they won't be adding it. Thanks, Slack.
Ahh European exceptionslism. I don't really buy into marketing and was extremely disappointed by the taste and quantity of food in the European countries I visited.

There were exceptions, but the food is generally bland, and one of these countries was Italy.

They really advertise the authenticity of ingredients, when they need to learn "salt, acid, sugar, msg, fat"
They had a plan to disrupt the optical fiber scenario too not so long ago, IIRC. What happened to that?
I haven't heard of any instances of Kotlin itself optimizing these things away, but the JVM may be able to do so during its various JIT passes. It's definitely not something you can necessarily rely on, though.

Luckily, these convenience methods are usually implemented as inline extension functions, so the whole thing will get inlined into the calling method, making JIT optimization more likely.
The bit that gets me... If he opens one door, which is a goat, so there is 1 goat and 1 prize remaining... then the chance should be 50% staying put or switching, right? That's the part that gets me. The whole bit about 3 doors and opening one of them and "do you want to switch" is all a ruse, it seems to me. At the end of the day there are two doors, one with a goat and one with a prize, and however you choose between 2 doors, you will win or lose 50% of the time. Right? Aargh the SAN loss...

Yes. It's only a matter of time before there is a backlash to Slack.

I won't understand the backlash when it comes, just as I didn't understand the excitement. Slack is just a chat client. Chat has been around forever. Corporate chat clients have been around forever. What am I missing?
This is an advantage of Microsoft Teams... the product is so utterly without charm that I doubt anyone is recreationally loitering in it.

If Guevara did everything the same but instead of Marxism, he was fighting to exterminate the blacks out of a genuine belief that it was a noble cause which would help people, would you still describe him in the same positive way?

You already said you don't like communism, and I guess you don't like ethnic genocide either. So that wouldn't be a distinguishing factor.

> And my second question: Who do you think customers will blame when someone uses an alternative payment approach to steal from customers? Google/Apple? The app provider? Themselves?

They would blame the person that ripped them off. If I take my car to a local garage and get defrauded it would be stupid to blame the car manufacturer.

> Third question: What's a customers recourse once they are the victims of fraud or simply want a refund for whatever reason? How easy will it be for them to reason about what to do?

You call the bank and say "hey, I have a fraudulent charge on my credit card" and they give you your money back. There's zero liability for the user. Plus, I'd way rather ask my bank to do a chargeback against a no name scammer than against Apple, Google, Amazon, or Microsoft.

What happens if your kid gets scammed via IAPs, spends $5k, and Apple sides with the developer? What's the result of a chargeback against Apple if you're massively invested in their platform?

Online payment processing is a solved problem. I think things like Apple Pay are fantastic as a system we can opt into, but I'd much rather have the current system of credit card processors with all the regulation and consumer protection that comes along with it.

> The first "big" band I ever saw go multi-channel to connect with fans was Dave Matthews Band

Judged.

However, on a more serious note, I new people who were -very- attached to bands/musicians based on interactions they had on MySpace and LiveJournal.

One problem with any online exposure in the modern web is that the bar from 'unknown' to 'trolls flooding your inbox' is pretty low. I do wonder however whether small time performers wind up trapped by this: When they are first growing they probably can't pick the ideal "Social Media" person, which may limit certain exposure and opportunities.
When the stock drops tomorrow I’ll pick it up because at the end of the day Adobe has whole industries by the balls.
Adobe needs to pay. And pay a lot! Make an example of them -- this kind of bullshit -- blame the user for everything -- needs to stop.
Its 2020.

Apple has been hostile to openness since inception, see: right to repair or basically any Louis Rossman video on YouTube.

Not to mention years of news stories showing how little apple cares for developers or individuals.
App stores did exist prior to Apple's. They just make it seem like they didn't by coining the usage of the word "app" instead of application or program. For example, the Xbox Live Marketplace launched in 2005, allowing users to purchase games, expansions, themes, backgrounds, avatars, and apps such as Netflix and Youtube. Other app stores that predate Apple's include Handango in 2003, Nokia Catalogs in 2005, and NTT DoCoMo's i-mode in 1999, the first integrated online app store for mobile phones.
Uber is arguing that drivers are not their contractors, but contractors of the riders. Therefore, Uber denying some wouldn't be the right of Uber unless they were contractors to Uber, in which case they would be misclassified and actually employees as per AB5.

If I run into a site that needs registration, or is paywalled, I simply close that tab and move on.
It's hard to say. An indictment is necessarily one sided -- it's a document by a prosecutor with the goal of establishing guilt. There is nothing that prevents them from omitting information that is favorable to their target. That comes later during the defense's discovery process.

So the indictment sounds bad, but at this point I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt and wait to find out the other side of the story.
No, it's not. Nothing you wrote contradicted anything I said. The ultimate passenger destinations are less than 1 mile from the airport. They do not include connections to ongoing transportation other than cars, buses, and taxis. It cost $4 billion for something that adds little to no value.

LA taxi drivers were actively protesting outside of the airport when the original train was proposed. Stop lying.

I agree with you. It is bizarre that they have any influence whatsoever, but they do, and they have been forcefully exerting it for decades.

DMARC is only policy, it is not SPF or DKIM.

You can have any combination of DMARC, DKIM, and SPF. They are all distinct.

Though with DKIM there is no way for a receiver to know if a message should be signed unless there is also a DMARC policy. SPF on the other hand can be verified without DMARC at all.

If Gmail.com had a DMARC policy that required a correct dkim signature, then the attack would have been much harder.

Also, to be clear, gmail.com DOES have a DMARC and SPF policy and does not have or use DKIM.

Not exactly 10 dependencies, but I do that many times by using version ranges like ^1.0.0. So to answer your question: What you are updating and why... mostly patch and minor versions that include vulnerability and performance fixes. And I read release notes... but the number gives me a good idea what to read in more detail.

Now the problem of TS not following the convention is that many projects have ranges like ^3.7.1 in their package.json without knowing that a simple install removing package-lock may break your build because 3.8 and 3.9 have breaking changes in it.

Software licenses always disclaim any warranty, implied or explicit, it's all "AS IS" and you accept it when you click that Accept button upon installation.

And honestly, it's good this way. If you want to secure your photos, make backups yourself or sign a contract with some company that will guarantee something. But once they are liable and can be sued, the service will be astronomically expensive.
I can't use Android. Google literally cannot have their Android phones be able to make FaceTime calls or send/receive iMessages because Apple won't let them.

How is any of that Google's fault? That's Apple entrenching their platform lock-in in a way that ultimately harms customers.

What you said can be applied to any other situation where a de-jure choice exists even when a de-facto choice does not:

I think there's something there but I don't think I'd describe it as high school culture. It's more that things are way more permanent/visible. A one off watercooler comment from someone having a bad day is suddenly A THING. Sometimes people need to vent and commune without it going on their permanent record.

I personally find myself doing the opposite and censoring myself on slack, because I know a comment that's funny in context might read terribly a year removed.
