I really can't work out what you're trying to say here. I can guess, but maybe it would be better if you wrote something more expository or discursive.

For example, is "Speakeasy, Lightouch, Jazz" intended to be a single noun? A single thing? Or is it a collection? A sequence?

What do you mean by "getting stable shelter"? Or to "hand off notes to people"?

Have you written something already? is there a link?
The market for smartphones is broken, period. You can choose for Apple, which is all about power politics like this news article is demonstrating, they are not here for you. Or you can choose for Android, which is one big privacy invading monster, they are not here for you either. It is a duopoly, which should (and probably does) fall under the same rules as a monopoly: the governments should fix this, the market cannot fix this.

It is not possible for other parties to break this market open. Other parties are relegated to niche markets without any power. Using a smartphone from a niche party will give you a very reduced experience and is for most people not a viable option.
I linked to the test I just took. You told me I took far-right biased test. That was a lie you made up. This is a general political compass test.

A notice is not a disabled item. It's information. It would only be disabled if it was visible but the text was obscured. 'Enabledness' in the context of a notice is legibility. The intended user experience is reading the notice and understanding more about the world.

I'm not entirely sure what you're getting at here. Are you saying the author is arguing a call like

new Customer()

should return something valid? I think the FP way would be to disallow constructor overloads with no arguments, as really, there's no reasonable thing to be done here. If you don't have all the necessary information to initialize a customer yet, you don't get to initialize one, and you pass around a partially applied constructor function instead.

ie, The argument is that (in pseudocode):

Customer(name = "Jimmy", address = null)

is not really a customer if address is a necessary piece of information, so we should distinguish at the type level by passing around a function that takes the address and returns the correctly initialized Customer like so

\addr -> Customer(name = "Jimmy", address = addr)

Admittedly, this prevents you from accessing name until you provide an address, but I don't think there are many valid use cases where you want to access data before the Customer value is corrrectly initialized. I'd consider this a code smell to be refactored.
It wouldn't take much for a criminal to set it up on your behalf. I think you'd be better setting it up and not using it.
Can someone explain how they thought taking over a state within the US would do anything?

Like even if they got out of Michigan which has its own militia and police force, along side its own line of succession, the feds would be descending on them from every angle either way and both governments would nullify the takeover attempt.

Can someone explain the line of reasoning here? I've only read headlines and it sounds too dumb to dedicate more thought on. Any summary about why this wasn't as dumb as it sounds would be helpful thanks.
Ironically, the whole setup implies a conversation between two intelligent beings that is totally modeled after ours. One would justify this with "it's written this way because of translation into English". Funny anyway, plussing.
Wouldn't it be as simple as maintaining a bloom filter containing the absolute paths of every included file encountered so far? Whenever you encounter #pragma once you check if the file is already present in the bloom filter and return early if it is. If it's a new file you add the file name to the bloom filter and continue processing.

It probably even more memory efficient (albeit insignificant in the grand scheme of compiler memory usage) for the compiler to just maintain the bloom filter and not have to deal with hundreds of otherwise unused preprocessor symbols, one per include file.
And this is why walled gardens are structurally wrong. As soon as you have one you take implicit responsibility for what goes on in there and you will be forced to take sides in large scale disputes.

What serves the people of Belarus at the moment (and I know some people on the ground there that have had terrible things done to them at the hands of the governments goons) does not serve Apple because their terms of service did not in any way foresee the kind of situation that Belarus finds itself in.

As soon as you step in to an argument like that you may find that your precious principles are going to be tested like they have never been tested before. And Apple just came up wanting, the Belarus authorities are a criminal bunch and do not deserve the protections normally afforded to individuals acting on behalf of the state. They are facing off with the population from the comfort of anonymity, beat them, rape them and sometimes even kill them. Having them identified makes them at least moderately responsible for their actions, and Apple has absolutely no business interfering in this.
Is a family physician labor, or a capitalist?

I think that’s kind of what the OP you responded to was getting at. I know professors at large state universities making $100,000+ in medium to low cost of living locations. Some make even more. They aren’t 1% but they might be top 10%.

I guess what’s piqued my interest here is, at what point do we consider labor to be labor?

If you get a nice UAW job for 30 years and plow money into the market, are you not a capitalist?

Is a surgeon not labor since he or she may not own the hospital? Sure they may make $700,000/year, but... aren’t they working for a living?

The Meritocracy Trap is a great book I’d recommend that’s related to this question/issue. Wealth and the bourgeoisie used to just hang out all day and go for walks in the park. Now they work 120 hours/week.

>The term "droid", popularized by George Lucas

So first...google is NOT the Copyright owner of "Droid", second the Android OS was named after an already existing Word in the same domain.

EDIT:

He wrote that in his own Post and from my point he is right:

> "Droid" is a dictionary word and first coined in 1952 by a American science fiction author.

Quote:
Droid: Clipping of android. Coined by American science fiction author Mari Wolf in Robots of the World! Arise! (1952), and popularised by the film Star Wars (1977).

Droid is a trademark of "Lucas Films" now Disney since circa 1990.
Possible that Google has licensed "Droid" from Lucas now Disney for using in android

"Android" itself is a dictionary word.
They just have to establish a history of suing people for using that word because part of keeping your copyright is showing that you have fought for it in court.
This keeps being posted and keeps disappearing, so I'm going to not link to it, but when you search around, a post on telegram by Pavel Durov explains that apple has in fact made 2 demands: Take down the private information __and__ in addition to that, do so silently: Do not replace it with a notice explaining which part of apple's guidelines were breached, because that would be 'irrelevant' info.

Apparently, whilst the quandary is real, apple is either living on a different planet than I am, or doesn't care, and decided to pepper in something that the vast majority (I would assume) find distasteful 1984 stuff.
No it doesn't; the whole point is to avoid every type having a null state. You only define null states for those types for which it's semantically valid. For most types, you just don't have a null state and don't allow them to be constructed in an invalid state.
Pipedrive?
Strength to you, these are very difficult times and the same tech that can help you can just as easily be used against you. Apple is very much in the wrong here but dollars tend to be more important than principles so I hope that this will end well. Be careful!
Maybe because I use tiktok.com? I currently see:

1. bun in a watermelon swing.

2. dogs in headscarves listening to something bollywood-like

3. a train (with unusual horn, or maybe that's just a train-horn sounding soundtrack)

4. someone playing with a horizontally wiping sampler

5. someone pretending to demonstrate internet connectivity in different countries. (if true, albania is worse than turkey?)

of which the only indecency I can think of is "representational art" and I guess people who care about that surf with lynx.

At a stretch, the best I can do is view #1 and think "My anaconda don't want none / Unless you've got buns, hun." and even that fails due to the singular, not plural, bun.

One issue is that public attitudes to doxxing vary between places. What is unacceptable in America may be considered more normal elsewhere.

In this specific situation there’s a pretty obvious power imbalance where the public do not wear masks and the authorities would be able to track them down and oppress them later (or just do what they currently do and grab them from the streets at the time). The threat of unmasking is one of the few things the people have to use against the authorities: when a policeman has his mask removed he will typically run away for fear of being identified. (The only other things they have are sheer numbers and the moral superiority of being basically peaceful against a violent government).

A similar argument about law enforcement safety was used by Apple to remove a map app in Hong Kong which showed people where large groups of police (and eg tear gas releases or which small coloured banners announcing illegal assemblies had been raised). The claim was that the app could be used to target individual policemen even though it only showed larger units and mainly helped people to get around the city without getting gassed by the police. Meanwhile the Chinese government were funding a site offering money for doxxing protestors but it wasn’t in the App Store so I guess it was ok.

At ABI level you might want to use all-bits-zero to represent something other than a valid instance of your type, sure; that's how Rust's option type works. But making your language semantics say that that has to be allowed everywhere a valid instance could be passed is a mistake; for most functions it's an error to call that function without passing valid argument values, so it's better if the language has a way of enforcing that rather than forcing you to write it out by hand every time.
Regarding 1: Sleep loss lethality is caused by gut ROS in mice and flies [1]

> ...researchers demonstrate in flies and mice that sleep loss leads to an increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the gut, and that neutralization of ROS can prevent oxidative stress and prolong the lifespan of sleep-deprived flies.

Various biological systems seem to have recovery mechanisms associated with the sleep cycles. These cycles are measured using EEG devices but all the major SmartWatch vendors are adding predictive machine learning algorithms to generate the equivalent sleep cycles using optical heart rate data.

Continuous sleep cycle tracking might provide crucial insights related to optimal health.

Would people object if Apple told Telegram they had to remove a channel that was being used by white supremacists to coordinate terrorist attacks?

The answer to that question matters, because if users in this thread succeed in making iPhones less of a walled garden, terrorists will be able to use their iPhones to coordinate terror repeatedly on a large scale, and there won't be anything Apple can do about it. Is that really the world you want to live in? Personally, 2020 has satiated my appetite for craziness, and I'm ready for a little stability.

The Magical Mathematics Behind ‘Fairy Circles’
"Objects containing the same values should be equal by default."

No. This breaks down as soon as you have references to other objects in your objects. If you compare by reference, you probably don't get what you want. If you compare by value, you need to go arbitrarily deep, which is not a sane default, because of possible reference cycles. You need a distinction between objects and value types. C# has that (record types).

"Once created, objects and collections must be immutable."

If this is how you want to program, fine. Don't tell me this is "the right way" to program. Immutable data structures can have a lot of overhead, which disqualifies them from many domains.

The real world is all about mutable state. At some point, you need to take the training wheels off.
I watched it.

Issues I have with the video you provided. I can't believe that this passes muster with you as a scientist.

I can't help but notice the gas he creates at first is white in colour. In the second the gas is clear in colour. Both white and colourless gas are the same apparently. The difference in colour is not explained.

In the second experiment, Brian Cox says he is using hydrogen + AIR (not oxygen). Air is apparently 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and argon + trace gases are the rest. This is to say, this is not mixing oxygen + hydrogen. So this experiment is NOT what I was asking evidence of.

Finally, he creates an explosive pop and some condensation appears on the glass jar. Let's accept that this liquid is water. What's to say that the water isn't simply water that was already in vapour form in the air that condensed against the glass?

And why do we need flame to ignite the gases? Is it really true that fire creates water? Is that a joke?

And do we really think that the ratio of 2 particle of hydrogen to 1 of oxygen was met? It was hardly a rigorous measurement, was it?

Overall, no, I did not see and experiment where pure hydrogen and pure oxygen where combined to make water. Do you think you did? To me, its all inference, hearsay and claim.

If this is all the evidence you need, yes, I think your threshold is too low.
It’s more complex but I would say the job itself is actually easier. I think managing a company with letters, written notes, and phone calls would be much more challenging.

Essential Advertising Costs to Know Before You Start Marketing Your Business
You can still have “the absence of a value”, but it’s codified in the type system. Most languages with this feature implement an Optional or Maybe wrapper type, that is either Some<T> or None (i.e. no value).

The difference is, because you’re now receiving a different type, you are forced to deal with the case where there’s no value.

Rather than your function returning a Customer that could sometimes be null—and if it’s only null infrequently, you’re much more likely to forget to handle it—it instead returns Optional<Customer>. To operate on that Customer object, you are forced to unwrap the Optional by checking whether the underlying value is there.

How well you handle the None case is up to you, but the compiler won’t let you forget (generally anyway; for example Swift allows you to force-unwrap optionals with a crash on the None case, but eh).
No, Facebook is not aggressive in moderating anything except their PR. It's full of bots, full of disinformation, and full of hate-filled groups. You have to be smart enough not to use it to be naive enough to believe they police any aspect of it adequately.

More seriously, there's an element of performative deterrence in the way stuff like this gets handled. Giving people without the experience to know it's nonsense the idea they can't do dark web crimes and get caught probably cuts down on the rate of people dipping a toe into the exciting world of dark web crimes, where they can for example learn how to not get caught and then talk on the open web about how much they know I guess? What kind of opsec is that?
