I'm not sure where you're getting "a custom LGBT themed cake" from "create a cake to celebrate their same-sex wedding".

The first claim elicits images of rainbows and positive affirmations of gay marriage, and the second is just a cake that's for two people getting married who happen to be gay.

> If you believe that people should be able to compel this sort of work then you are an authoritarian.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how authoritarian was it when the government forced wedding planners, wedding reception venues, photographers, dessert shops etc to plan and serve custom wedding plans and events for interracial couples despite business owners claiming that their religions forbid race mixing?

Sometimes I wonder how things would be if we had more than one hominid species in the world and I get trapped in fascinating hypothesis of all sorts.

Then I remember how we treat animals in general and it makes me think we'd be destined to have a dominating species making all others miserable and I stop thinking those hypothesis are so fascinating.

I agree with your first statement, but: "It should, however, get more people out to vote, and that's a good thing." is not necessarily true, though you're presenting it as axiomatic.

Currently, the average voter is poorly informed, the marginal voter is uninformed, and the non-voters are misinformed. I challenge you to read any book about voter ignorance and come away with your current view.[1]

The “opportunity to meet” email originally cited by the Post has had its DKIm signature verified. You can find the links throughout this thread and through google.

The goalposts keep moving on this story, which has already been verified far beyond most of the scandals reported by the press in recent years.

None of the counternarrative even makes any sense. It’s all fake! Well, here’s a zillion extremely private photos of Hunter Biden. Where did they came from if it’s not his laptop? The emails are fake! Well, here’s some of the correspondents verifying the authenticity of the emails - which is all the verification usually required. Where’s the DKIM signatures! Well, here’s one that was verified. Some of them are fake! Okay. Has anyone ever applied this level of skepticism to any other story that has ever come out?

Why is it even surprising to anyone that this story would be true? Nobody disputes that Hunter Biden was paid enormous sums of money over the years despite his character and qualifications, and it’s all been widely reported. What did anyone think was going on there? How do people think high-level politicians and their families are leaving office so much richer than they came into it? The denials are almost shockingly naive - “we looked at Joe Biden’s financial disclosures and this isn’t there.” Well, gee, what a shocker he didn’t lay out grey area business dealings for the world to see - nobody does. Anyone who knows a drug addict can hear the ring of truth in Hunter’s self-martrying texts about how Joe makes him give him half his income.

How is it rational to conclude that everything contrary to the favored narrative must be disinformation propagated by highly competent operatives of a has-been midrate regional mafia state power with absolutely no evidence? How does that not reek of the disinformation long favored by the US “intelligence community”?

The complaints about the provenance are one thing, but it’s hard to explain why the FBI subpoenaed the laptop from the store owner, or why Biden’s lawyer tried to get it back. And what does it matter if the information is true, anyway?

I'm not OP, but the main parallel is a well defined schema of communication between the services using different underlying technologies.

SOAP is in my experience really hard to use and get right, compared to protobufs that bring well understandable set of primitives and intuitive support in many languages. gRPC is a solid carrier for protobufs. Yes, gRPC has many cons (e.g. with undefined/nil values, etc.), but overall it has worked great for our usecases.
Many moons ago I worked somewhere that used XPath extensively.

Definitely a serious learning curve, some of the developers really struggled with it, others went crazy on it.

I made a pivot table maker with it. It was crazy fast vs the js version I originally tried back in the pre-v8 engine days. The js version would basically die after you got past a trivial amount of data, the xlst one was instant regardless of the amount of data.
The key difference is that in (most) European electoral systems, voters vote for MPs, who then in turn vote among themselves to decide on a leader for the country. This creates a (limited) incentive for cooperation when no single party holds a majority, since a coalition government is required.

Simultaneously, voting for an MP has multiple impacts. Even if the MP isn't part of the coalition, they still have a say in how the government legislates, they can participate in debates, write bills, and take advantage of the resources of a government office to help their constituents.

Finally, voting for an MP is a local affair. The barrier to entry at this scale is high, but tractable. Alternative parties can offer credible competitions at the town or county level (e.g., the US congress has had at least some "independent" representation as far back as I can remember).

These three factors create a substantial difference in incentives in the US presidential election.

There are no shades of victory: Even if your elector votes for a 3rd party, there is no long-term benefit. After they cast their vote, they're done. This makes voting for a 3rd party extremely high risk: you're gambling that everyone else feels the same way you do. Even if you don't like either of the main two candidates, you're faced with what amounts to a prisoner's dilemma where the other 300 million players have repeatedly shown a policy of 'always betray'.

The more typical definition of an extreme candidate is not "this person is not my top pick", but rather "I would not vote for this person at all". Candidates under RCV win when they get 50% of the vote, so if you're so extreme that only a small minority bothers to rank you then you're not going to find yourself elected on behalf of a minority. This is in contrast to FPTP, where any extremist can win with any miniscule percent of the vote if there's enough vote-splitting going on.
We use it. It's pretty good. It has a lot of places you can hook in extra functionality. You get most of the HTTP error status codes for free, but we also have a filter that looks at outgoing protobuf messages for a certain field that indicates the messages is a response to a create request, and that allows us to return an HTTP 202 instead of 200. We were even able to do Amazon-style request signing. One thing about request signing is that if you use protobuf key-value maps, the order is not deterministic on the wire. This broke our signing. Key-value maps are kind of a protobuf hack anyway, so we ended up using an array of structs. When it came time to add the JSON gateway, we found it pretty easy to write custom JSON serialization/deserialization code to convert the structs to a JSON map. This is all in Go by the way.

Microsoft Clarity – An Alternative to Google Analytics
win-win!
Google and Microsoft were not the first web spiders.

A famous example, Yahoo!, didn't walk away from search and partner with Microsoft because of the difficulty of building an index. They did it because it was going to cost billions per year to try to keep up with Google in producing results.

I'm not arguing there's no work to do in building an index, but the problems of crawling and indexing can be solved by cash. They're a moat against small challengers, but not against well capitalized ones. Ranking and filtering require lots of research and tuning. This is the moat against even the well capitalized.

Put another way: do you really disagree that Google would still easily dominate search based on result quality even if small startups got access to their index data?
I retract my use of the term "LGBT themed", that was too strong a description. However at the very least common sense tells us it would have had some reference to the homosexual nature of the marriage (e.g. "Adam & Steve" written in icing)

I always wonder with archaeology how often we are finding remains in their natural habitat versus 'comedy of errors' situations.

Did those dinosaurs really live near mud flats, or were they driven there by severe drought followed by torrential rains? Or was it part of a migration route driven by repeating cycles of drought and rain? (the fact that they are under many, many layers of sedimentary rock suggests the latter)

Similarly, were hominids living in that cave a plan A, plan B, or plan C? Plan B could be a "Helm's Deep" situation, where you go there when something goes wrong. While Plan C could be an 'any port in a storm' situation where unexpected weather caught you in an area you did not mean to stay.

Plan A might have been a biologically active region where life devours anything that stops moving for too long, the same way we have trouble finding evidence of these huge cultures in Central and South America.

I could never become a fan of APPLE products. A selfish company that wants to have control over every aspect of the customer's digital life. If I want to develop a software, I have to be a registered developer with Apple. If I am a user, I can hardly use software developed by non-Apple-registered developers. There is now a section on my paid legally-purchased Apple Mac, over which no one has any control or access privileges, except Apple. and they are still planning to strip users of further control over their own purchased Apple device. Every step Apple has taken over the past decade has been toward isolating and stripping the rights of its customers more and more. What amazes me is how people fall for their advertisement tricks, that anyone who uses Apple products is smarter than others.

No one is saying that Rust dev will be as smooth as Django. In fact, there is another paragraph right below:

> While development might not be as smooth as something like Rails or Django, the Rust web development ecosystem and community is engaged and very helpful. A lot of work has been put into the web in the past few years, and we're getting there!

You can replace a Django app with Rust. While you might have to put in extra work to:

> test your application's database access layer

> provide advanced authorization

The main point that the author wanted to make is that Rust is suitable for scale web development. It might not be perfect, but we are getting there, and the ecosystem and community is very large, engaged, and helpful.

Using the magic of Grep

Occurrences of unsafe in:
Actix-web: 39
A few dependencies
Regex: 136
Bytes: 118
Tinyvec: 8

That’s far from exhaustive. So I wouldn’t consider this implicitly safer than any particular C++ library that has been through some basic static analysis. If anything, there probably have been way more eyes on STL. I would be even less confident in this case since the author of Actix who probably actually knew what he was doing was harassed out of his own project by the friendly community.

I get the safety for performance trade off, but Rust evangelists pretend this trade off never happens, and it’s very pervasive in important libraries.

Also you should look at Google Artman on github/googleapis as sometimes it felt that defining the REST mappings in Protobuf were lacking some features.
Using google artman you kind of mix/match Protobuf with yaml definitions of your service.

We never had to use it, though. It just depends on where you want to put your authentication information.
As of today I would probably change my mind and make it explicitly in payload, I.e. Protobuf message and not fiddle with headers any more.
If I recall correctly from King of Kong, for at least some people they do inspect the machines to see if they are original. There are tons of rom hacks and modded machines.

I've been very very skeptical about Roam - I appreciate the sentiment behind it and the fact that it's making more people aware of networked thought but the marketing around it has been insane. Especially investor Twitter is raving about it for many weeks now about how the tool is a savior. It's almost as if they're doing it to increase user count to Roam to justify their investment, which is likely.

It often misses the point here - the idea of networked thought and note-taking is the key here. If you have the time and means to do it, you can always do so using something as simple as text files too.

Something that's as critical as a note-taking tool, the first rule of thumb should be - don't lose data! Agreed, it was the readwise integration that messed things up here but the snapshotted database approach has its own perils in the long run too. For the most part, one does not need constant sync-ups. And Roam doesn't even have a mobile app today - which means that most likely folks are just using their laptops to add notes.

If you're just starting out, I'd recommend using [Obsidian][https://obsidian.md] or if you have a little bit more time, explore the world of emacs via [org-mode][https://orgmode.org].

Roam might be a success or might not be :shrug:. Use something that works for you and your workflow. Don't engage in productivity porn and lose many hours.

From what I can tell, both solve different problems.

> Many consumers will stop using a service if they have to pay any money for it with little regard to how useful the service is to them

I don't agree.

If the service is free, you can just use it. The moment you have to pull your wallet, you start doing cost benefit analysis. "Do I really need to use this?" The answer is often no, even though some benefit could be potentially worth more than $2. Potentially. Often, it is difficult to calculate a monetary value.

Not only that, but this is a case of "I have altered the deal, pray I don't alter it further". Had they started with some limitations in place, and then charged to expand them, this probably wouldn't have caused such backlash. People don't really like things taken away from them, even if they originally paid nothing. They tend to prefer deriving some sort of "benefit" out of a deal.

As for developers... I'm another one who ditched IFFT. Not just because they want to charge me, but because they started charging manufacturers a lot too, which caused many of them to drop IFFT integrations (even though these same manufacturers kept many others, like Alexa). Having things stop working, specially if it's related to home automation, can be a bigger hassle than setting them up "properly" in the first place.

So now I have Home Assistant and Node Red. With Hass.io, all you have to do is download the image, put on a SD card, stick it into a Raspberry Pi and you have Home Assistant. A couple of clicks and it installs Node Red already integrated and ready to go.

Does it cost more than $2? Certainly. In both labor and parts. In return, I can integrate almost all my devices (I'm missing a couple that don't have APIs at all, but they didn't work with IFFT anyway). I can do things that IFFT can't even dream of. I don't have to worry about price increases, EULA changes, keeping payment information up to date, cloud or internet outages. If the Pi goes up in smoke, I can throw it away and move the SD card over (or restore a snapshot).

Yes, it did cost a couple of hours of work. But since I had to do something about it anyway, might as well bit the bullet and trade off the time I'd be watching a movie to do this instead. I'd argue that the resulting system is worth way more than $2 a month.
