I’m sorry but I really have no interest in that kind of conversation. I’ve already made my points clear.

How to build a $4b insurtech company: Interview with Kin Insurance

Sure - it’s not ‘my definition’ it’s a common one.

You have provided another one which is equally valid and supports my point better than my own definition.

The comment I was replying to claimed that all the desirable areas were built out 100 years ago leaving everyone else with only risky areas to live in.

It seems like there are plenty of non-risky areas to build out. If the only problem is that they are rural, that won’t be a problem for long.
Indeed. And as GP said. If you force your adversary to take more precautions you're driving up the cost, increase the time it takes for them to perform operations, makes them need more experienced/educated personnel, more procedures to catch mistakes, etc. etc.

That's not a bad thing for Russia's adversaries.
That seems a pretty wide scope for propaganda. Then anything that puts Trump in a good light becomes propaganda, even if it is a legitimate good thing that happened in his administration, and even if it has nothing to do with Trump. This whole Russiagate thing is super confusing on both sides.
I wholeheartedly agree. I do not like projects who assume they get to dictate my build process, my environment, or my system configuration. Just ship code, and let projects integrate your code in whatever way they are used to. That way, the marginal cost of introducing a new component into an existing system is really low, not to mention a much gentler learning curve.
Ugh. I'm sorry for your circumstances. Sorry to everyone, really. But it's oddly nice to know I'm not alone.

Many great replies. Covering most of what I'd say.

Piggybacking on your reply with some "Yes, and...", because your advices are closest to my two cents.

"Advocate for yourself. I was misdiagnosed six times before they finally figured out my issue."

Same. Many times.

I advise everyone to never accept "No". Someone somewhere has the answers we need. Keep searching.

"Choose a supportive partner."

I have no idea how to do that.

"Keep a detailed diary of your symptoms and your daily activities, even when you're feeling good."

And get a fitness tracker. Self reporting is not reliable.

Evidence is always a back-and-forth. Enough specifics have been presented that the media should be demanding to know what, specifically, is fabricated. Joe Biden, running for office, should be able to offer specific denials, explanations, and clarifications.

The question we are tryong to answer is: was Hunter Biden using his dad to get some easy money; or was Joe Biden using his son to hold the payouts? The former is a slimy gray area; the latter outright corruption and highly compromising.
Not sure about that. We already harvest half a billion trees every year. Those mechanized harvester-loaders are almost disturbingly effective. It doesn't seem like it would take very long to thin all those snags, if we made it a real policy goal.
> IHP's templating HSX is targeted at people with a react background that are familiar with JSX syntax. In the background it compiles down to blaze-html and can be used together with e.g. forM_ (which we have aliased to forEach). It's just a more familiar syntax on top of blaze html.

Ok, but then your users will write views without understanding what they're doing. All the magic will make them feel confused and powerless when they do anything outside of the blessed path. They can't extrapolate that forM_ works for any monad in the future.

> The |> just looks more beautiful to us :) Take a look at the gorgeous expressiveness of this

Agreed, I wish we all used |> instead of &, but that operator is called & in Haskell. You're crippling your users' ability to read other code-bases in the future. And that same code would be plenty readable with &, don't you agree? Your example doesn't even show your operator, you're replacing it with a unicode character. I could make vim do the same for &.

> Yes, IHP is the haskell framework for builders :-)

There's so much more to "building" than the first month of development! Easing someone into the Haskell ecosystem is much more important than helping them get a CRUD app running that they don't know how to customize. Haskell is an order of magnitude more productive for me than other languages (ruby), because of its differences.
Yup, in an awful lot of relationships one person is a lot more competent than the other at such things and naturally does that sort of thing.

Obviously tab behavior in Emacs c-mode is not a comparable default

It was more of a joke as the answer to "How do I make Emacs do this" could resolve in a "Easy, just do this" followed by some arcane lisp macros that would have taken two years of research and experience to be able to compile.

Civil Liberties in Times of Crisis
No, because I have to take kids out of preschool/school and if I an not in time, they call social services.

Before kids, I was coming home randomly and it was not big deal. I did not expected husband to have dinner exactly when I come or wait for me if I am late for random reasons. If I found I was about to be late when he might wait, I would call or he would call.

Frankly, you all have either super tolerant spouses willing to time dinner too you exact moments, or controlling spouses using dinner to keep check on you. But the relationships that come up in this discussion do not strike me as usual at all.
Awesome! Thanks for responding. That clears up some details.

> I'll be honest, we're working to make the ToS more clear as we've learned about other use cases. We mean to say, Minors need a parents consent (credit card to book).

I know how tricky ToS can be, especially around safe access for minors. A lot of games I've run professionally have been at cons and events where kids could be present, and online signup/registration tends to be one of the recurring hangups.

> A bunch of our games aren't in search because GMs use our tools for charging their customers and scheduling sessions, but for private groups.

This is an awesome use of the service, and it'd be great if that use case was made more visible up front as a selling point toward becoming a GM.

The pitch to GMs as it's presented on the site is more about how the site can help to drive people to games, but if I already have players and my goal isn't necessarily to expand my audience through discovery, then using this service solely as a front-end to handle private scheduling and compensation — and with the option to open it up if we want to add a player built in — sounds a lot more compelling.

For instance, I use Calendly to book and take payments, but it's more rigid to work with as a group scheduling tool than I'd like — a business meeting isn't quite as expected to have people join and leave a group meeting on a whim. I feel also like I'm paying for business-focused features and integrations I don't use, while fighting against that design in order to connect it to VTTs and the like.
I mean they literally just have to add an exception for knowledge workers and then all would be fine. This is just fear-mongering.

"Accurately repeat" vs "Paraphrasing" – quite the contradiction there.

I'm really not a fan of paraphrasing. It shifts the burden on your counterpart to understand you accurately, and it can be annoying, even destructive of a train of thought. Practice accurate quoting and non-leading questions instead!

> Linux is the only mainstream kernel, free or proprietary, which doesn't have a sane and supported driver interface.

I don't believe OpenBSD or FreeBSD has such an interface either, and I'd classify those as mainstream kernels.

> However, what I don't see is that nVidia should have any obligation (ethical, legal or otherwise) of any sort to provide a Linux driver at all.

Well, they don't. But they have a commercial need for Linux support: their recent revenue growth has been in datacenter usage of GPUs, and Linux support is necessary for that computing environment. To that end, IMHO NVidia is the entity that needs to align its development practices to support the existing Linux driver community rather than Linux needing to align its process to accommodate NVidia's wishes.

This isn't to say that Linux has been right in its treatment of other external entities: the treatment of ZFS, as you note, does seem to be driven more by spite than actual technical reasons. But in the case of NVidia, there is definitely a good deal of fault on NVidia's side that needs to be acknowledged.

Plasma is still matter, in which electrons and atom nuclei are separated. They detect plasma because plasma particles are easy to detect due to being electrically charged. It doesn’t mean that there are no hydrogen and helium atoms out there - they are just hard to detect.
IMO, it looks dry, because an exclamation mark would be more appropriate. If you just omit the punctuation, it can be interpreted as if you omitted the "!", but with the full stop you explicitly say that you don't mean "Yay!".
As I hyper-casual gamer now, I also like that I can drop into any of the servers I've joined and those communities still know who I am. I maybe play 10 games of Dota a year, and I'm still on first name terms with the people I play with. Disord is just hands down the unifying glue that brings together any type of gaming community, it attacked the problem by always offering a better experience to alternatives, and providing tight integration to the platforms that helped it grow. Every single game chat voice just sucks compared to Discord.

Back in 2006, I used to run a game server hosting company, approximately 400~ game servers at the peak excluding voice (battlefield, css, gmod). I hosted Teamspeak and Ventrillo, and they were nice 0.25 "per slot" servers per month, but the process was so cumbersome.

Presumably, the writing is on the wall. One of the driving forces of spinning up my own Matrix community for me and my friends is the Facebook wouldn't let us discuss firearms without heavy censorship.

My fear with this is that it will turn into something like Reddit, where participating in one community automatically bans you from other communities, regardless of the content and context of your reputation. Especially when the predominant server is matrix.org. What, if any, measures are in place to prevent any one server from becoming overwhelmingly popular and then bullying everyone else? That could be detrimental to the discovery and growth of smaller communities that are viewed as controversial by bigger ones. If you associate with them, you risk being ostracized by other important communities, and barred from other important conversations. I think that's a net negative for the entire ecosystem.

I see the necessity of this, and I appreciate the Matrix team's attempt to provide an alternate solution and avoid governmental oversight, but this is just going to delay the issue, because we all know this isn't about catching child predators. Governments want to break encryption because they are after power. A reputation system won't stop them for long.

I'm very sad to see this development, and to me it seems like something far from what my understanding of the mission of Matrix was. I say all this with respect and gratitude for Matrix, which to me is one of the most important developments of the internet this century.

Huh. Never actually looked into HOW it worked in erlang, but basically it looks like it works the same way as Akka/AkkaDotNet; VM skates on top of the underlying transport's ordering guarantees.

For a long time I was curious how Akka Artery preserved message ordering for it's 'dedicated large message' lane. in short it really just means you are dedicating a specific TCP or Aeron connection dedicated to those actors, there's no magic ordering sauce underneath. (just a little disappointed to find that out, but appreciate the simplicity upon consideration.)

Oh my god, I can't even imagine.
Thinning the tree population would not achieve anything. Many insects can fly several Km routinely. Bees do it constantly. The beetles probably could do it also. So either you remove all trees in a radius of lets say "4 km" or beetles just keep growint. But if you remove all trees in a few Km, then you don't have a forest anymore (neither water, wood, or the other environmental services that the forest provides).

More pesticides equal to less birds and bats. Not having birds and bats plus sucking all the water that trees need equal to more beetles. The disdain of politicians (and their voters) for this themes is the root of this problem.

I'm curious where these numbers come from. Wikipedia says that by 1980 apples revenue was $118 million and that was before they released the most popular model (the IIe in jan of 1983), which was still being sold in 1993. The C64 by itself may have sold more units than anything apple produced, but you added up the entire 6502 commodore line. Adding up the entire II line might be an interesting comparison.

In the US as I remember the 1980's apple ][s were everywhere. And there were 6 models (or more depending on if you count the revisions), and a number of clones (Franklin Ace and laser 128, were two popular ones).

So, It would be interesting to get numbers for all those models, because each successive generation definitely cannibalized the previous ones. No one purchased the plus after the 'e' came out, and the gs was definitely the machine to own later in the life-cycle (particularly with an accelerator).

I couldn't find overall numbers with a quick google search.

Some IKEA items have a metal insert + machine screws and slots for the back rather than nailing, so those can be easily disassembled and reassembled without issue. IMO, if IKEA was serious about sustainability they would make them all like that. I think they are more looking for PR and know that the same reasons that keep people from moving the items will keep them from returning them as well.

I do have a couple of short shelves that I got used and moved 3-4 times that look to be screwed into the material (my memory isn't that great :/) and I'm guessing at one point had a nailed on back. I'm fairly sure it just worked for me to disassemble and reassemble without change and they are somehow stable without any cross bracing. The previous owner might have changed the screws.

I also have a pair of IKEA chairs that were quite unstable when I got them used and the issue turned out to be that the order of tightening screws made a huge difference. Luckily it was new enough that it was easy to find the manual on IKEA's site or I would never have figured it out. I think a number of items have tricks like that where you need to exactly follow the instructions or it doesn't work.
In some ways, this dovetails with your previous post: "Thanks to Charles Lindbergh...". Not entirely of course, but a distant resonance between them.

Note that this exception has not been added in California's AB5. The original target was ridesharing companies but now with prop 22 they may actually be exempt, while the freelancers will remain the (unintended?) target. My bootstrapped non-vc funded company was literally possible only due to freelancers.

It is likely that prop 22 will pass because majority of people care more about ride-sharing than about freelancing. Then the popular focus will be shifted away from the problem, and freelancing will remain difficult in California in perpetuity.

Discord is what social media should have been - a nice place to hang out online without the vanity.

Unfortunately the post/like system of social media tends to become politicized; leading to toxic one-upmanship. Discord has none of that, it's a refreshing place where people can just be people online again without a system built around the need for approval from one another.
