The word you want here is "ethereum" not "crypto". Crypto is cryptography, and even if you want to redefine it as 'cryptocurrency' the sheer reckless yolo incompetence and scammyness of ethereum is not especially representative.
Sure, and we agree: you wouldn’t use pure Python for something where every scrap of performance matters. I’m just saying, I’ve used Python extensively for a couple of decades now, from web services, to orchestrating devops tooling, to being the management interface that controlled a high-speed/low-latency service, to driving pipelines that moved around terabytes of data, doing number crushing with Numpy. In all of those cases, Python was a delight and was not the bottleneck. So while I don’t really disagree with you, I think you’re giving it the short shrift to say it’s fine for just “a little glue code”. It’s amazing how many practical problems in software engineer come down to gluing systems together in new and cool ways.

Yes, this is a good strategy when you already have the skill to say "no".

But for someone who just learns it, "soft no" means having to say "no" twice, when they barely can say it once.

The danger of disreputable customers isn't new. Companies have been refusing to provide service to customers they'd prefer not to be associated with for about as long as there have been companies.

There is a problem with this view because all groups of people are essentially (statistically) the same and are in fact shaped by their environment. What I mean is, if you were born in their world, you would statistically share similar views to them right? Or are you saying that you are somehow naturally morally superior to them and would resist these bigoted view if you were born in their shoes? I don't think so... so given that we must accept that our views do largely come from our environment right? If so is it not our job to try and change/convince them that this views are wrong, i.e. enlighten them? What I mean is you don't have to accept their opinions as valid or equal, but people absolutely should engage with people that hold very different, even reprehensible viewpoints. Otherwise they and their environment will not change and the cycle continues...

Reality doesn't matter all that much. The news has played up the violence to get viewers and ad impressions because that is its nature and its lifeblood. That can be easily be given the right spin to sway voters on the fence away from the left.

Had the protests been purely peaceful, it would've been looked really good for the left. As it stands, it's been a heaven-sent blessing for the right to use as propaganda instead.

In AWS, Aurora MySQL is almost always the database of choice, for just about everything SQL.
Manual dispatch can be an antipattern hindering composability though. If package A does:

function foo(x)
# some lines of code
y = x isa Int ? 2.0 : 3x
# some other lines that do things with y
end

Then package B would have to define foo(x::MyType), copy the contents from package A, change the `y = ...` bit, and make sure the rest stays in sync with package A.

If instead package A did this:

foo_magic(x::Int) = 2.0
foo_magic(x) = 3x

function foo(x)
# some lines of code
y = foo_stuff(x)
# some other lines that do things with y
end

Your package B could just add an extra definition of foo_magic(x::MyType) instead.

Fair point. But I mean in America that’s all about “buy now!”, “save now!”, “treat yourself!” and only now it’s changed?

I think what’s changed is you sit in front of it all day. So it FEELS like it’s increased, but really it’s just your time economy is being spent watching the nonsense flow.

You want a different experience? Live differently. Let the neuron receptors cool off.

...At some point a baseline has to be agreed upon. And it changes as generations roll over.

Raw logistics for the masses, de-coupled from daddies historical baseline of bawdy haggling, to prove how bold he is for expropriating others work, would be nice.

I get none of that and have to pander to other people brand building, job life is all about emotional culture worship.

I no longer believe in billionaires as necessary features of a society where the wealth is built on the emotional indoctrination of the masses to believe a dollar holds value.

Largely because it creates a social distortion effect that non godly men by any scientific measure are unique.

As the post mentions, several Delphi customers had updated Bold to work with newer versions of Delphi but weren’t about to share their changes since Bold hadn’t been released under an open source license.

It looks like enabling that sharing is one of the reasons for open sourcing Bold. So it might be keeping an eye on the GitHub repository.
This guy this whole thread is about is getting his channel shutdown "with no recourse." You still get copyright strikes after they restore your content.

The whole copyright strike system is in addition to the DMCA, and is part of what was negotiated with the labels (in addition to ContentID).

Also, what are you quoting "with no recourse" from?

If you have signed non-compete clauses in the employment contract, then you may be prevented, for the specified period, from contributing ideas related to your work to any project whatsoever anywhere, open source or proprietary. That has nothing to do with the particulars of that project.

Just because the employers approved some code to be released under the MIT, which allows for unfettered competition using the ideas embodied in that code, doesn't mean they approve the leakage of other ideas (either into that code, or any other code).

Nothing in the MIT license itself prevents you from forking the project; from that perspective, it's no different from any other individual's or organization's MIT-licensed program. It's all about what you are allowed to do according to the entirely separate contract with the employer.

In fact it is written into the law!

It is illegal and the doctor who is suspected of potentially performing those procedures (either without proper consent or with poor communication or totally fraudulent) is being investigated.

The fact that someone crosses our border illegally with nothing and is given world class medical treatment for no charge is incredible.

If this doctor did wrong things (potentially just as a way to bill additional charges?) that is obviously terrible. But I don't think that negatively reflects on ICE at all.
It is amazing the levels people go to in order to make something evil less evil. Just stop eating cow and drinking milk! Get some tofu and oatmilk. Many problems are solved, not just the methane emissions problem.

I've always hated this quote. What it saying is "the benefit doesn't justify cost" which is clearly false since we do this all the time. It's a basic cost versus benefit analysis.
> ICE is simply enforcing immigration laws

And even if you disagree with existing immigration laws, refusing to provide services to ICE doesn't make ICE go away, it just makes them carry out their mandate less efficiently - leading to a worse experience for the people they're charged with investigating.
Trust me, the vocal minority there are extremely sheltered, self centered and live in a weird unreality. The majority of employees who come from the real world aren't that bad but also tend to keep quiet.

I often think that people who spend too long at the top of maslow's hierarchy of needs just end up losing touch with reality.

Further enabling the police state. If there were any doubts about this, even after Amazon went in bed with the CIA, and then started giving the police "backdoor" access to its Ring cameras, I think naming former NSA chief to its board pretty much closes the case.

Accepting profitable contracts from government agencies shouldn't be seen as political. It's just mature attitude: you accept the process and respect whoever ends up in power and whatever policies that decide on. Refusing to make business with the government if it's not your guys calling the shots is political activism though.

New Guidelines Issued for 2021 Agency Chief FOIA Officer Reports
I'm curious to see if some vocal people here will still not be satisfied with anything short of a OSI-approved FOSS license.

I don't have a dog in this fight, so to speak, as I'm not a user of Timescale. All I'll say is that I hate to see license proliferation in general, and I don't think people should refer to things as "Open Source" if they aren't using an OSI compliant license. To me, if I see a project that's using anything other than a well known, well understood, OSI sanctioned license, I get the heebie-jeebies - because I don't know what the license permits. And I don't want to invest time trying to understand the nuances and ins-and-outs of every random project specific license that comes along.

So props to Timescale for making what appear to be improvements to their license. But I'll always advocate using an off-the-shelf license when/where possible. shrug
If legacy boot is off, UEFI and TPM/secure boot offers code signing for everything running on your computer.

UEFI checks first stage boot loaders and/or kernels for a signature backed by a key/cert in the TPM. AFAIK know, out of the box, that means Microsoft, RedHat/IBM, Canonical or a handful of others have signed your bootloader/kernel.

Whatever you run next is supposed to check that any further code is signed - at least code allowed into kernel space.

If there exist any signed snippets with exploitable errors, the whole card house collapses (but you can limit exposure by only allowing code you yourself signed, such as a single build of the Linux kernel).

Linux can/will require signed drivers with secure boot enabled - so that can lead to some issues (that can be fixed, eg by adding a signing key and signing the drivers).

In theory, you'll never run untrusted code in the kernel - no blue pill hypervisor root kit etc.

Offence works in strange ways.

Truth is, we are all as offended as we think we are.

And the reasons for it vary widely, with some well established ones seeing broad, but rarely complete consensus too.

Implication?

There is no way to know what may be offensive beyond a few well trodden examples.

Second order implication?

Offence is gamed easily, and I submit regularly as a tactic more than a meaningful, or sincere sentiment.

Having worked through that in my life, I quit apologizing and put more effort into understanding others and helping others understand me.

Starts with, "I did not intend to offend"

And carries on with whatever the primary context is, not the meta context.

Where others insist on the meta, I simply cannot help them and either the convo settles back to its original intent and value or it does not.

All I can do is leave the door wide open to continue and express my stated intent and that I am the authority on it.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

I cannot tell you how many conversations I have recovered to good ends doing that.

He's largely taking examples from public-sector unions, which have particularly problematic legal framework in the US.

Private unions can be essentialy seen as corporations, very much like any other firm, that sell labor. Such unions can in principle specialize, compete and offer unique advantages. Again – just like any other market firm. It's just that the US law makes that hard by setting them up for a narrow antagonistic role of fighting with labor management for goodies.
Anyone who understands this issue, really understands it, knows:

1. Congress can act tomorrow and improve immigration process/treatment. They won't because politics.

2. Foreign actors have and continue to use immigration as a weapon, against the US and against the immigrants themselves.

3. Walls work. They are far from perfect and far better than nothing.

4. Immigration is actually critical US economic health. The country needs more immigrants.

A combination of political manipulation, orange-man bad, and wishful thinking has turned this issue on its head; and its a corollary to the larger problem of division in this country and both sides unwillingness to build bridges with each other.

Not sure how we survive if we cannot come together in spite of our strongly held differences.

Ask HN: App for collecting a large, searchable database of website snapshots?
I do a lot of research and writing, and it is necessary for me to keep snapshots of the web-based sources I rely upon in my writings. The tool I have used historically is no longer viable, so I am seeking a replacement.

Requirements:

• Support for a very large collection of documents, including the html and assets (images, css, etc)

• Full-text search

• Annotations (ideally in context)

• Saves original source URL

Nice to have:

• Data stored locally (not just cloud-based)

• Option to include linked pages in snapshot

• Support for static files such as PDFs

Anything to suggest or recommend? Thanks!

So is beer and I've learned to enjoy beer.

I've yet to learn to like licorice and lost interest in trying.
You almost certainly do not need to completely drop black licorice. From what the article you linked says, it doesn't sound like it directly damages the heart or the things that regulate heart rhythm.

The glycyrrhizin in black licorice lowers potassium levels, and heart rhythm regulation depends on potassium levels. Stop eating glycyrrhizin, and the potassium levels come back to normal.

If you only eat black licorice occasionally, and limit your quantity then so that you do not get enough glycyrrhizin to lower potassium levels to where they actually cause anything bad to happen, you should be perfectly safe. As a precaution, next time you have occasion to have a blood test, get your doctor to include a potassium test. If that doesn't come back close to the low end of the normal range, an occasional bit of licorice should be fine.

If a potassium test isn't too expensive, it might be interesting to have another test shortly after you have consumed some licorice, to try to get an idea of how much it affects potassium for you.

I wonder if the potassium lowering effect of glycyrrhizin could be countered by eating the licorice with something else that is high in potassium. Eat a banana with your licorice, say. Or maybe take a potassium supplement on days you want to eat licorice?
I find it hard to believe that 100% of the market is the exact perfect amount that any given developer needs to sustain their business. 99% is already too little, and 60% is a non-starter. And yet this is the same market where tens to hundreds of companies have proliferated into billion dollar entities in mere years.

It's nothing more than greed, just like the greed you supposedly fight against.

1) It is nonsensical to ask to leave politics out of social and economic life.

2) Hootsuite is a B Corp. This means they've already publicly committed themselves to act with social responsibility, above and beyond whatever is currently profitable.

This doesn't mean that non-B-corps get to act with zero responsibility in pursuit of profit, but it's just underlining this requirement.

It is curious to me that you think that acting ethically somehow sows division and hatred. Why would that happen? The whistleblower believes strongly in the company and the mission and isn't targeting anyone, not even the CEO, as a figure of hate. The worst thing that's happening here is that ICE will have to use another vendor for their social media management. I think society will be able to continue to function after this.

Right. There are many things the government could possibly do, and it could theoretically do them as well as private sector does, and in many case even better than private sector (as governments enjoy many privileges that private companies don't). However, this is upper bound of what we could get from governments running things. Most of us need to settle with governments as they actually exist, and the actual outcomes. The track record does not seem encouraging, and arguments of the sort "this time it will be different, we'll just put our people in charge, who are better than people who were previously in charge" aren't particularly appealing.
> Accepting profitable contracts from government agencies shouldn't be seen as political

But it is, and will always be, political to do anything. If you're accepting a contract with the government, you're saying that you agree that this government should exists, that governments are a good idea in general, and this one is the current rightful government for where you are, otherwise you wouldn't work with them.

It's a fruitless exercise in trying to remove politics from anything, because anything can and will be politicalized.
Not having choices is a bad situation. I would be surprised if you thought otherwise.
