Aren’t most of the sanctions related to the annexation of Crimea? Also, SA is an ally who allows a significant US military presence on its soil, in an area of strategic importance to global energy supply. Russia on the other hand still maintains an adversarial posture toward much of the Western world.
Yes, you're right. But by the time you get around to arguing about fossils your thought processes have already diverged beyond reconciliation. It's not because either of you are idiots, it's because you started from different foundational assumptions.

I like the idea of this product but

(1) sometimes a BIT of a personal touch goes a long way

(2) even in the examples you give it misses potentially important context. Eg In the board message example, it removes a reminder of the topics. How could you know those weren't necessary? Why is the number of members what it included?

Just doesn't seem ready for prime-time for this use.

My preference would be having it suggest shorter versions of each paragraph inline or something.

Both min and max should return NaN, if any of their parameters is NaN. Sorting can be defined where to place the NaNs (head/tail) but it's largely irrelevant in this case as simply the substitution won't be permitted by any compiler.

NaN is part of IEEE754 but of course it's not a 'real' number (integer numbers don't have NaNs)

Edit: you can consider NaN (and to a degree both infinities) as an exception, once it occurs - it has to be propagated. Any operation involving NaN should be returning NaN, any operation comparing NaN to anything has to return 'false'. That includes "if (NaN == NaN)". boolean isNaN(double d) is effectively "return d != d;"

Define "living". Sure you can "exist" without a job, maybe even afford rent in some countries like France or Germany (they give you something like 30% of the min wage for just being there), but I'd doubt many people would call that life.

In countries like the US or third world countries you're in for a pretty miserable existence if you don't have a job. I'm not saying it's good, but it's reality

Not an Apple fan but I can recognize the "security" in a different sense we might find useful. It is more a delegation of the user mindset aspects of security than absolute "Cannot be exploited by state actor level funding and lacks zero days."

Apple and Google do not have that right, because as many headaches there are involved, killing their services cash cows would be abandoning their fiduciary duty to investors in an almost litigation-worthy boneheaded move.
> Are they acting in good faith?

I was wondering about this recently. It feels like there are much less people willing to engage in good faith today as opposed to 10 or 20 years ago on the Internet.

Is this just a bias on my part, or has this been the experience of other people too? Is it just more people on the net, or really less people willing to talk honestly?

I wonder if you would have written that, if your partner or sibling was dead from malaria.

I guess it feels different, when the affected people live far away.

If Texas had California's oil, no one would live there.
Sorry about missing your point about non-competes. You are right that is a big part of it. But I don't think all of it.

>> The California government is no different than a trust fund kid failing upwards.

The Government is a reflection of the people. California has a more liberal government than some states because the voters are more liberal-- in general-- particularly socially. I am fifth generation, and lots of my relatives are very conservative but still pretty accepting of different beliefs and lifestyles.

There's clearly some downside to that liberalism. You can see how countries in Europe struggle with having the taxes, the protections, and a healthy economy. But California tends to pull toward that model and other states pull to other models. Those other models also have downsides.

I am not a friend of filtering at all. Who am I to know whether my point of view is really the well founded thing that I think it is?

So I always had people on social media who were very much not like me. Not all of them were clever or articulate etc, but they remind me of other human realities out there, lives which went in a totally different direction than my own probably since before their birth.

The only people I really tend to block are malicious actors, spambots and vampiristic people who obsess with you.
I had some archives which are heavily redundant (web mirrors & scrape mirrors by date), and so I looked into file order compression: https://www.gwern.net/Archiving-URLs#sort---key-compression-... On my particular use-case, the compression gains are enormous. It's particularly impressive because as far as any enduser is concerned, it's just like any other compressed XZ tarball.
That doesn't really change my perspective. I'd be very frustated if a moderator told me "well, we generally don't allow hate speech, but let's be prudent and allow it when it's targeted at you".

It's not just that I find the data persuasive, but that I find data persuasive. They don't. They reject the notion of data when it doesn't suit them.

That makes them not merely wrong, but dangerous to me. They will go out of their way to make my life worse, without being able to judge the cost to themselves. Regardless of what derogatory name I choose to call it, our outlook is fundamentally at odds. They've shown repeatedly that they wish to use it to harm me, and my names for them are going to be negative.

> Yeah I was, how long are yours? I've got a couple here that are bordering on 300 lines which is pretty wild considering I only need to build a container and push it to K8s... Best CI/CD I've had was with Drone: equivalent build YAMLS were probably 20-30 lines, tops

As a random example, I have a pipeline that builds a multi-arch container image for both x64 and ARM and pushes it to ACR, and also builds, tests and deploys a Function App, and publishes artifacts. The main pipeline file is about 75 lines, and it makes use of 3 other files that setup docker buildx, login to ACR, set the build version, that kind of thing. In practice, I find these kind of "setup" tasks often use as many lines as the main file, but it's often reusable stuff, and splitting them out into templates is really helpful, I think.

In total, it's around 120 lines for all the pipeline files. I am keen on makefiles though, so a lot of the actual build script is in them, ensuring we can also build locally too.

Another example is a web app, where it builds, runs unit and integration tests in a container, and publishes build artifacts for a release pipeline to take over deployment. It also has a 2nd job where it builds some Windows-specific stuff in a Windows agent. Whole thing is less than 100 lines.

The simplest pipelines will be less than 30 lines - for example, the web app I mentioned could easily be done in 30 lines if tests didn't run in a container.

I don't mind taking a look at your YAML file if you think another pair of eyes would help (my email is in my profile, and you can anonymise bits of your file if you want).
This reminds me of a similar story from a very different domain: The World Series of Poker. Some years back a high limit player went to the bathroom and hung his money belt on the inside of the stall door, did his business, then walked out forgetting the belt was in the stall.

As soon as he realized his mistake he ran back in a panic because the belt contained over $700,000 in high denomination chips. By the time he got back the money was gone.

The tournament director announced what had happened (leaving out most of the details) and asked for the person who found the money belt to return it.

This sparked a lot of conversation at the event that year. Aside from the ethics of keeping the money there would be some big practical hurdles. High value casino chips are carefully tracked individually, so the issuing casino would almost certainly recognize any large chips from that haul as having been paid out to the original owner.

I later heard second or third hand that the money belt was returned with all of the chips to the person who lost them, who in turn gave that person a sizable reward.
Most of the facts stated are inaccurate, or at least phrased incorrectly in a pop science manner. What you have written are technical subtleties, not the main ideas that undergird biology. Biology is not an absolute hard science, but it serves nobody to emphasize and blow up the details while rejecting the core ideas completely. For example, if I tell a novice programmer that JavaScript is a compiled language like C, that is a very inaccurate statement. The subtleties of JIT interpreters can be clarified when you already have a clear understanding of the differences between an AOT compiler and a high level interpreter. HN is predominantly filled with people of math and computer science background. Those 'facts' in your comment are at best misleading if you do not already have strong grasp of the central dogma.

> the larger the increase of ride sharing services the lower the usage of public transportation

so does private car ownership, private bike ownership and bikesharing.

Private car ownership externalities overlap greatly with ridesharing. The solution here is congestion pricing for all vehicles except public transportation. You tax what you want less of and what causes the most wear on the systems that need to be maintained.

Humans are free to choose the systems that work best for their needs. If we want to people to use public transportation, the solution to that is to make public transportation better than the alternatives, such as providing for bus only lanes and more routes.
It's probable that Brigade is not the only credit/investor involved. If Revlon doesn't pay (or defaults), other creditors have rights too, and there are processes to fairly distribute assets.

"Oops, we're keeping it" is an invitation to bypass those processes.
It's a shame that people don't consider fiction or poetry when making lists like this. I've probably learned the most about being human from literature.

These lists are always just your general pop non-fiction books, although it's nice to see James Baldwin on there. I knew it was clickbait when I saw Malcolm Gladwell's face at the top.
Tough to call anything done as voluntary with a gun held up to the head. Their entire business model (which has not been super profitable to say the least) was just made illegal in California.

If it's not profitable to treat those already working 40+ hours a week as an employee, then that's not a great business in the first place. We shouldn't rely on exploiting the lower class in order to provide basic services like transportation.

Personally I think the idea of being a contractor to loosely pick up some extra cash is a great thing, assuming this is effectively an extra job and way less than 40h/week. I don't know how common that actually is -- almost every Lyft/Uber driver I've asked are working 8+ hours, and driving into SF/NYC/DC/LA from a far away location.
I think that meme/claim is indeed substantiated in many cases. It's a form of implicit bias. Implicit biases are very culturally-mediated and can exist from any individual or group towards any other individual or group. I don't know if reddit staff suffer from that bias, but it's evident some people in this thread do.

But of course, that interpretation of 2 Timothy is a post hoc defense of biblical inerrancy. There are much more obvious reasons for religious authorities to emphasize the absolute authority of religious scriptures (particularly when they also claim exclusive authority to interpret those scriptures).

It's also important to note that "inerrancy" means very different things to different people. I remember one evangelical preacher who informally explained it as essentially "God made sure that nothing got into the scripture that he didn't want in the scripture," which is a much weaker claim and is essentially synonymous with what it means for something to be scripture.

> Of course not. Genesis, Revelation and Job are 3 books of the Bible that don’t document events as observed. I believe (not 100%) that all the rest do.

The Book of Ezekiel has a lot of pretty wild stuff, but I guess you can say it's supposedly documenting Ezekiel's visions (but isn't that also true of The Revelation?). The Book of Daniel is also apocalyptic literature, much of which was likely not intended to be read as a document of observed events. There's also a ton of poetry (Psalms, Proverbs, etc.) that I wouldn't consider "documents of events as observed."
Wait, how is that not trivial?
Take the idea a little further, to the end of the universe, and the rate of acceleration of expansion of space increases so much that stars become isolated from each other, then planets from stars, then molecules from each other, then atoms, and then quarks, the constituents of matter itself, and then....

An interesting thing happens.

When you tear a quark away from it's antiquark, you get two quarks. The energy is equal to that required to bring another quark into existence. At this point, the rate of expansion is so vast that every quark in the universe has been forever isolated from one another, and then each bursts into a sea of high-energy quark-gluon plasma. The massive energy of expansion is rapidly consumed generating these quarks, and then the expansion slows, never stopping, but continues at a much slower rate.

Wait... we've seen this before. A quark-gluon plasma, rapidly expanding from a single point, in a universe isolated from all others.

Only expansion is required to generate new universes, forever.

these days people get music from spotify ($$) and similar services, not from torrents ($free). I'd say centralized won.

When I did torrent, I would frequently get warnings from content owners by way of my ISP, so at least identification of offenders seems to have scaled. They didn't take me to court personally, but some other end users were compelled to settle, and even the threat of punitive measures should be enough to discourage many others. So overall I don't agree with your characterizations.

Orbital dynamics are fun- a truckload of gravel dumped in front of a satellite either stays in front, or slows down and moves to a different orbit. So you have to dump it in a higher orbit, and let drag bring it where you want it. You could do it, but it would basically look like an attack- the speeds are too high, distances too large, and drag too unpredictable to make it look like an accident.

The work of archaeologists is absolutely not in proportion to the amount of surviving documents. Most of my digs have been in places and periods with few to no written records, for example.

As for the comment about Europeans, I was talking about modern academics (particularly of the early through late 20th century). The leading archaeologists of that period primarily came from European and American traditions. I have no idea what Augustine has to do with 20th century academia. Please feel free to enlighten me if there's a connection though.
