I think it's not that someone intentionally does that, it's that daily creators or those that make large quantities of videos simply run out of space or get overwhelmed by how much storage is needed over time.

There are many videos by creators chronicling the solutions they've had to contrive to preserve their records and the cost/time tradeoffs they've made to continue creating while saving their archives.
According to Wikipedia, "When completed, [111 West 57th Street] will be one of the tallest buildings in the United States, as well as the thinnest skyscraper in the world with a width-to-height ratio of about 1:23 or 1:24".

I was in NYC in February and while both were quite impressive, I don't aesthetically like them either. But to me the favorites are the likes of the Woolworth, Flatiron, Chrysler... so I guess I'm a lost cause to contemporary architecture.

> I have met stupid intelligent people.

The irony happens when it is education itself that compromises the critical faculties of someone, as the article mentions.

Intelligent people are sometimes loyal to an ideology built during their upbringing and belong to their circle. Sometimes the exact opposite happens and drives them to a complete rejection of said ideas. Religion, culture, and politics are prone to create blind spots, where otherwise critical, highly educated, and intelligent individuals don't question specific biases because they are too closely related to their identity.
Tech barely matters. If nobody wants your product, the right tech is a mock-up.

If people want your product, but you can't deliver because of tech, that might be promising enough to get funding for a better team. The dependency on a 3rd party product that's pulled seems real and dangerous though; you can't have security if you're built on something you don't control and can't replace under pressure.
Also - caring about the colors of bubbles is very different from ‘unable to communicate with their friends’.
On the other hand, if you ever find yourself writing a programming language, consider making it statically typed.

In the world of mobile devices where CPU is battery life, why create a language that is ~10x slower for no user benefit and makes people contemplate about designing the whole OS around its performance issues?

I wonder if you had a strategy for reconciling the theory of the flat moon with flat Earth?

Believing in both at the same time is extra-tricky, and that's what caused me to get banned from the Facebook flat-Earthers.
If the moon is flat, perspective distortion should make it disk-like, and nobody's observed a disk-like moon. So either the moon is round (and the fact it only shows us one face is some extra-fancy trickery with mirrors or lenses or something), or the moon is a flat disk facing Earth, but the Earth is a ball rotating under the moon.

(Clarification: none of this is things I believe. I spent time debating flat-Earthers as an exercise in logical consistency and alignment with observational evidence).

More concretely, a non-reccurent tree of causal events has both progression and various scales at consecutive slices of progression for an outside observer.

Intrinsically information about prior contingencies are unrecoverable "before" recurrence. But unrecoverable is not "non-existent."
Eh I don’t totally buy that. While in theory it would be nice if trains and the like were a purely public good, every transit agency in the USA has consistently failed to deliver.

Most of the Asian train systems aside from the Chinese ones - Hong Kong MTR, the privatized Japanese lines and so on - tend to be private companies which, unlike the US systems, derive their profits not from the train lines themselves but buy building giant shopping/apartment/office complexes on top of stations, which makes a ton of sense - people ride a train to go some where, so make the train stations be the places they want to go to, and you will be heavily incentivized to make your trains very efficient at moving people.

The Japanese system under JR originally was a national one but it ultimately got a lot more efficient after privatization, not before.

I think that the incentive structures in the US are super messed up, and while it may be possible for the government to operate systems effectively I don’t see a politically viable way to unravel those messed up incentives.
The problem with direct payments is users trust. Crypto is a already available form of payment and there are many tools to take payments directly but it never took of besides for drugs and ransom payments.
Ignore this person's advice. It is objectively wrong.

How would you build a rocket if you only thought about the next 2-4 weeks?

How would you scope the size of any given project if you didn't think about it in totality?

Successful development is always a balance of waterfall and sprints except maybe when you're in maintenance mode for long living legacy projects.

Waterfall = strategy

Sprint = tactics

Malaria is probably going to be one of the hardest maladies to overcome. There was some promise with a vaccine, but it looks like that was fairly disappointing. The selective pressure is so high with malaria that sickle cell anaemia is a fairly common congenital disease that if one is homozygous for can be lethal in early age; conventional medicine has significantly increased life expectancy, but it's still fairly poor. Hopefully, it will be to the point where it can be controlled because the African continent has had its economies ravaged by it.

After seeing the foils finally catch on in water sports I have been wondering why there are no foil boats. Great to see someone has made it happen!

I don’t do enough miles a year boating to care about the minor amount of fossil fuels I burn. I would be really interested in the foil tech with gas powered outboard. The foil boat must be must much more fuel efficient with a gas motor?
But if that's government, then so is having a tribal chief.

Looks nice! I built a couple of tools similar to that for Java that helped me in refactoring large codebases:

https://github.com/krlvi/cyclist for detecting cyclical dependencies between packages in the same Jar

My headcanon is that most people that proclaim to be flat-earthers are like you - they don't actually believe it.

From the Ancient Greeks to the 19th century, people believed the world was round. That story you heard in history class about how people in the 1400s were afraid to sail west because they'd fall off? Not true. They were afraid to sail west because they didn't know that the Americas existed, and without those they knew there was no way they'd survive a trip to China.

Flat earth in modern discourse was a strawman from the start. There may be some true believers - there always are - but it hasn't been a serious worldview in 2000 years or more.
You seem to be conflating "throughput" and "latency" here. Mainframes are very much focused on the former.
This actually would explain a lot from my environment as well. Different country, different parties and issues, but that triggered responses - same story

I just don't get this at all. Could you explain how they refute things like ISS camera footage showing a clearly round earth with the station going around it? Are you saying that they just refute science outright because it conflicts with their teleology beliefs? If that is the case, they actually are idiots, regardless of how erudite their arguments may be.

Thankfully, I haven't known one of those since he got run out of the state for committing loan fraud. He seemed like an intelligent guy. Was even interested in startups. Then he started asking me about the "intellectual dark web." I was like, I know quite a bit about computers and I think I would've heard if there really was any legitimate intellect only accessible on the dark web. That was the last I remember of him besides that he committed fraud and moved back to his parents house in Wisconsin.
I think the primary use case is to enable simulation of emergency crash landings and landings with the gear up.
But that doesn't say anything about this particular story, and Der Spiegel has come clean about those instances which is the reason you can make that claim to begin with.

Nobody's perfect, but if I get to chose between Der Spiegel and Fox News or Bild I know where I'd put my money.

And of course you don't have the documents, it is pretty rare that a news article would be accompanied by all the evidence the publisher has acquired, if only because that could easily put their sources at risk.

Oh grief, so then we'd have Apple put all the cool new features in iOS in their iOS App Store libraries, as Google does with the Play Store and leave iOS itself as a bare bones layer, with some crappy crippled ghost town stores on the side full of malware and adware.

Inerrancy is a whole other bag of chips. I teach a Sunday School class and one of my big topics is man made rules that aren’t Biblically supported.

Inerrancy falls in that camp from my reading. There’s a single verse that the basis for the entire doctrine.

2 Timothy 3:16-17

“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

This verse is interpreted to mean that it is inerrant. There’s a wide gap between inerrant and useful for teaching from my own reading. There are many people wiser than me who disagree on the subject.

My own interpretation is simply that Jesus constantly spoke in metaphor because it was more useful for teaching. Why would we assume that the creation of everything, that involves so many intricate details, would be any different? Would we expect books on microbiology and geology to accompany Genesis?

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.

Bookenders as I call them, people who only want to argue about Genesis and Revelation, are a concern because they take away from the real message to pursue an argument that nobody can win. It’s not productive and it’s not useful.

If everyone was convinced that the earth was or wasn’t 6,000 years old tomorrow it wouldn’t change a single facet of life on earth for anyone. It would only remove one argument. IMO, that makes it a pointless subject to debate and only creates friction.

Romans 14 is pretty clear about this too.

Yes, they are independent events involving different parties but that does not matter for Brigade's purpose. By making the incorrect payment, there is a non-zero chance that Brigade will have 175mm that previously did not exist. If they are able to keep that money, all else equal, their position as a creditor is unaffected but they've effectively cashed out a portion of their position ahead of other creditors. I don't think it's likely that they will be able to keep the money but their returns change quite a bit if they're able to.
So I will have to convince my potential customers to first install the app store that I can get in then they will have to remember to install my app once they complete the set up of the alternative store.

They can be internally-consistent beliefs, which is what makes them tricky (both for the believer and the rational contradictorian). But internally-consistent isn't quite the same as rational.

Where they deviate from rational is either failure to align to observational reality or an Occam's Razor argument (but be aware that Occam's Razor doesn't apply for a true believer; if something is true, it doesn't matter if it's complicated! ;) ).
In my real life I've never met a flat-earth guy (I live in India). I genuinely tried hard but couldn't find one in real life.

Most flat-earth people I found online seem to be Americans. This is possibly anecdotal but I'm puzzled as to why they are all Americans. It is coincidence or there is something about America?
As someone who doesn't play any games on my phone, and doesn't care at all about Epic, I guess the best alternative here for me, is that Apple just allow 3rd party app stores. I guess they could fully sandbox those stores so that those app stores had no device / user data access by default.

I'd always have the choice to install them, but I could continue to ignore them and still get the benefit of Apple's walled garden approach.
Being a troll is good fun, however, I think at some point if you keep the charade going long enough, it does infect the psyche.
There's an even more powerful counterargument to the facetious notion that "we all agree that murder/rape/slavery is wrong" than "people used to think it was right".

People today still think those crimes are right, as evidenced by the fact that there are many people who still do them. That's why we have laws against those crimes: to punish the many thousands of people who still attempt to carry them out, and in many cases succeed.

If we could "all agree that they were wrong", then we wouldn't need laws against those crimes, because no one would ever commit them.
Weeds can be an issue, unless the foils just cut through them. Taking off in a weed heavy water can be tricky, just like operating a jetski, a jet boat or a regular prop boat. It is true that a fish wouldn't fare too well either when hitting the leading edge of the foil, which is submerged to about 0.7 meters.

However, the foil can take quite a beating.

Regarding commercialization, which is a great question in itself, our experience tells us that it's due to:
1. It's hard to build controllable foils, especially in a "miniaturized" size like a 8 meter boat.
2. the technology to enable sufficient speed of electronic foil control hasn't been cheap nor good enough prior to the advent of consumer drones & smartphones.

If the "sphere" is 4D spacetime, including time, one might argue that asking what came before it is like asking what's south of the south pole.

The question of "why is there something rather than nothing?" is still absolutely valid, but my mind's open as to whether the answer necessarily involves either an infinity or a discontinuity.

Yes, the website and its database are resilient. Torrents are less likely to be struck down by a singular authority like YouTube but on the other hand it suffers from the same problem as personal websites. Almost every torrent posted to tpb over the years, if you tried to download now, would have zero seeders. It's the same thing with IPFS. None of these P2P solutions will ever be like S3.

>nothing positive happens to the economy

I’m not sure that’s true, but perhaps I misunderstand. The lawsuit is the enforcement mechanism of private law. You can go make contracts and have pretty good certainty that they will be respected because the threat of the lawsuit looms in the background. You can confidently ride an elevator or walk under a crane or take pills from the pharmacy because the implicit threat of a lawsuit, should you be injured, looms in the minds of the people operating those services. Every successful lawsuit makes that threat all the more legitimate.

Awful advice. This is how you build terrible systems and avoid having to ever look at yourself for building useless crap. You're never looking anywhere but your feet expecting not to run into a wall. Yes, you probably shouldn't build something massive without ever getting feedback, that has nothing to do with sprint vs project planning.

I think everyone has a bit of a contrarian inside them. I used to express it more readily, because, let's face it, it's fun! But I noticed that increasingly I was just encouraging "true believers", so I stopped. The reality check for me was that, starting a few years ago, increasingly frequently when I started to try to make up ridiculous sounding arguments and not even logically sound ones, people on both sides would think I was being serious. The world doesn't need me adding to the insanity.

The straw that broke the camel's back was when I tried to make up an obviously ridiculous constitutional legal argument as a joke and accidentally hit something where a court clerk told me sovereign citizens actually use the argument. If you can roll a d10 for the Bill of Rights and a conclusion you want and land on something that someone actually tries to argue, then... well, that's today's reality.

My flow for watching youtube has been to subscribe and sign up for email alerts (the bell). When I had some time to watch, I'd scan my youtube alerts email folder for items of interest. It was efficient and would quickly leave me with a queue of videos.

That workflow went away for me this month: https://support.google.com/youtube/thread/63269933?hl=en

I don't even know what the alert bell is for now. If I look at notifications its full of "recommendations". If I go to my subscriptions its random items from all my subscriptions regardless of "the bell".

I thought non-final stages in a multi-stage build are left out of the final artifact; is that incorrect?

I'm thinking the "build step" would be done in an earlier stage; it could be the exact same RUN statement, or it could be split into multiple for readability, and wouldn't bother removing any installed packages, since they won't carry over to the final stage. Then the big RUN in the final stage would be replaced with something like `COPY --from=builder ...`.
