I'm not asking someone to judge the ideals of the UK vs the ideals of the Confederacy — it is an exercise in subjectivity for you or I to declare that the UK or the US is or isn't "bad enough," or whether the Confederacy had ideals. This doesn't mean either of us are wrong or that these guidelines can't or shouldn't exist, it just means we're not in a position that our judgements on the matter mean anything.

The specific practical matter is that the last actual official Mississippi Flag contains, in one corner, the flag which people think of when you say "Confederate flag" which has specifically been called by Twitch for its association with slavery in America. While the Mississippi flag might in select contexts be used to mean "white supremacy," it also means things that are not identical to the concept of white supremacy: for instance, it means "Mississippi". Is this enough of a difference to allow the Mississippi flag, or is it still associated with slavery in a strong enough matter that it should be banned?

One recurring problem with speech codes is ambiguity of this sort. Even though the guidelines Twitch has provided are much more detailed than most online chat platforms have deigned to make available (cough Discord cough) there is still nontrivial ambiguity over these matters — ambiguity which can only really be resolved by authorized representatives of Twitch itself. In the broader world, when such ambiguity exists in the law, we have things like a court system with evidentiary standards and a presumption of innocence; these are things we lack on Twitch.
Compilers books: I'd start with "Engineering a Compiler" by Keith Cooper and Linda Torczon. http://craftinginterpreters.com/ is also a pretty great, programming-oriented intro, which may be good to work through alongside. For more on the analysis & compiler optimization side, "SSA-based Compiler Design" (http://ssabook.gforge.inria.fr/latest/; GitHub Mirror: https://github.com/pfalcon/ssabook) is a good follow-up.

Further readings: Book recommendations in https://github.com/MattPD/cpplinks/blob/master/compilers.md#... as well as program analysis resources (in particular lattice theory, type systems and programming languages theory, related notation): https://gist.github.com/MattPD/00573ee14bf85ccac6bed3c0678dd...

Courses: I can recommend the following: https://github.com/MattPD/cpplinks/blob/master/compilers.md#...

Particularly (in alphabetical order--I think these are all great, so including highlights of what I've liked about them):

- IU P423/P523: Compilers (Programming Language Implementation) - Jeremy Siek, with the course book "Essentials of Compilation: An Incremental Approach" (pretty interesting approach, with programming language features developed incrementally having a fully working compiler at each step, cf. http://scheme2006.cs.uchicago.edu/11-ghuloum.pdf; implementation language Racket),

- KAIST CS420: Compiler Design - Jeehoon Kang (good modern treatment of SSA representation itself, including the use of block arguments, https://mlir.llvm.org/docs/Rationale/Rationale/#block-argume..., as well as SSA-based analysis and optimization; Rust as an implementation language),

- UCSD CSE 131: Compiler Construction - Joseph Gibbs Politz, Ranjit Jhala (great lecturers, both Haskell and OCaml edition were interesting; fun extra: one of the Fall 2019 lectures (11/26) has an interesting discussion of the trade-offs between traditional OOP and FP compiler implementation),

- UCSD CSE 231: Advanced Compiler Design - Sorin Lerner (after UCSD CSE 131: for more on analysis & optimization--data flow analysis, lattice theory, SSA, optimization; fun extra: the final Winter 2018 lecture highlighted one of my favorite papers, https://pldi15.sigplan.org/details/pldi2015-papers/31/Provab...),

- UW CSE CSEP 501: Compilers - Hal Perkins (nice balanced introduction, including x86-64 assembly code generation, with the aforementioned "Engineering a Compiler" used as the course textbook).

Because to have lifetime only GATs you need to change the syntax and liftime checker but once you checked the type
you can treat it ignoring lifetimes and in turn ignoring the GAT aspect.

But then if you did so you probably already implemented most/all of the code to typecheck non lifetime GATs and then doing the rest proper is probably not to hard either and might be not harder then doing liftime only GATs.

> You cannot specialize on lifetimes, it is not sound.

Good to know, given that specialization was stuck in nightly in the last years I didn't use it and in turn didn't look to much into it.

"Georgia argues that the “[r]ejection rates for

referring the Court to Wood v. Raffensperger, No. 1:20-

Nov. 20, 2020) (“Wood”). Georgia Br. 4. Georgia’s
reliance on Wood is misplaced because the analysis
therein related to rejection rates for absentee
ballots—as opposed to the mail-in ballots analyzed by
Dr. Cicchetti"

"Indeed, in 2018, the rejection rate for

twenty times higher than the rejection rate for the
absentee ballots that Georgia incorrectly compares to

I've rented about 20 whole places. 50% had issues. 50% were good. Prices were almost always is the $120-$150 a night range. Examples of bad: claiming to have reserved parking but not having parking. Claiming to be one place but being another. Claiming to have usable internet but not. Claiming to have a bed but just having a cot. etc...

At this point I'd mostly choose hotels over AirBnB because generally a hotel will try to fix an issue but AirBnb never will. Their position is effectively "sucks to be you, you shouldn't have chosen that listing".

They policy is basically "unless it's life threatening shutup!" and the worst part is either you suck it up or you're out a day of your vacation travel etc as you try to scramble to find another place. It's not fun.

> Water should be free upto basic living necessities.

If you mean to an end user, that's your opinion. I think we should aspire to that, but water is most definitely not "free" in general, and treating it as such is very dangerous. Even if government is responsible for providing water to the people, there is a cost (to the government for obtaining that water), and that cost needs to be accounted for somewhere.

Perhaps you can provide a better price discovery mechanism that efficiently matches the price to its cost, that is robust to environmental swings and minimizes waste. Please let us know.
But I think I had a very interesting discussion with yourself, you laid out some arguments, I did the same, at the end we disagreed but that's fine, I'm not on some sort of crusade here, it's just a discussion. But then spacedcowboy comes in to basically say "I don't care about any of this or any of your arguments". Ok then, of course they are free to do so, but then why bother commenting? I only continued replying because I hoped we can have explore the topic a bit more but no, spacedcowboy just straight up says he doesn't care about any of it, so I guess that's really, as they put it, "end of story".

It might be out of scope but maybe add a volunteer category? As an American I've tried to figure out how to break into the African startup scene (mostly West Africa) but I'd feel bad about taking a job there that could be done by a local.

This is a good thing, they've been de-googling the base OS and making it as stripped down and bare-bones as possible.

This is a huge win for security, privacy, and freedom in general, and exactly what they should be doing. Android should be a small, secure Linux based operating system with an API that makes it easy to build services on top of it. The Google ecosystem should be completely decoupled from the OS.

No, it's not. Incidents like this tell a lot about internal culture. Things in highbays aren't supposed to fall over just like that, that sort of accident could have cost a life and certainly has lost the company money and set it back a few months. Safety is very clearly an afterthought at the Starship site. You can't have that in rocketry. They want to go to Mars and can't even get out of the assembly building in one piece!

Starship is basic engineering in metal. The thing sat there and just fell over. There wasn't even any kind of load on it. That takes some effort!

I've seen a decent amount of evidence suggesting that hunter-gatherer societies are generally quite a bit happier than members of modern society (here's an example of an article discussing this[1]). I think we often make the assumption that more is better, but it's quite possible that in our search for more we're putting ourselves in situations that run counter to our biological nature. Animals in captivity have many advantages over their wild brethren (they don't have to worry about food, about being eaten, they have access to advanced medicine, etc.), but I don't think we can say that they're clearly better off or happier.

In Canada, we have an almost total blackout on interpretations of data that don't match the primary political party's desires and beliefs. They fund these "journalistic" organizations to the tune of billions of dollars, completely locking out any organizations with contrary opinions.

> especially since much of their stock is misused long term rental capacity that many municipalities are cracking down on now.

And thank heavens they are. I've been on the suffering end of trying to find a place to rent before but couldn't due to everyone preferring AirBnB for long term rental properties as they could make more money. I won't say it's the root cause of housing crises in cities worldwide, but it's definitely a major contributor, as you have the same number of people now fighting over less area. The quicker AirBnB gets regulated to go back to being a place to rent out a spare room, the better.

- Standard capture of usermedia

- webkitSpeechRecognition to send text instead of audio and display on videos

- Cross browser support stream and view

- Low quality on purpose working on this to increase

- Canvas capture sending webP images.

- Possibile todo webm with great quality but is not cross browser support
