I am on dev team that isn't fast to upskill, and have been rewarded for writing my build-test-release solutions in bash because my team is not generally able to self-manage their developer python environments. Without needing to install anything, it is very lucrative for us to use such an unpopular language.
Can you explain what this means? Binding to a save icon?
There are two hilarious subtexts that always accompany these sorts of arguments:

-It's okay to use persuasive technology to push political orientations I agree with

-We want to defend democracy but we implicitly agree as commentators above the fray that people can't be trusted to make the right decisions and have to be manipulated towards our preferred orientation
I'd like to point out that post-WW2 the US had about half of the world's wealth and a ton of labour to produce for the greater world. Regulations or not, they would have dominated either way. The US's success, I'd argue, is more about their position in the world at that point in time rather than some ideological "regulations vs innovation" battle.
Amazing to still see this kind of misinformation posted here, so many months in.

The EU has been designed to be as anti-democratic as can be, from its very inception.
In the real world, you're never going to know that you have a "state level adversary on your network, using your software to attack DHS and the Treasury" until after all the damage has already been done, and you've had enough time to assess the total impact. That's presuming you're even alerted to it in a timely manner. In that scenario, the appropriate response almost certainly not going to be "turn off the business" and even if it is, it's not going to matter whether you can do it in 5 minutes or 5 hours.

The only scenarios in which you'll have enough information to justify activating this plan, are scenarios where you'll also have enough information to respond to the actual threat, rather than just shutting everything down.

It's something that might sound impressive to people who aren't experienced with incident response, but it's practical uses are so close to non-existent, that any time that was spent developing this solution was most certainly wasted in lieu of doing something actually useful.

It's not that people are surprised. Is that they're starting to say "this isn't okay."

Having accepted abuse in the past does not mean it's some big crazy idea when people start to stop accepting it.
What I'm about to say is a broad generalization, but an important one:

Gangs exist as the most promising form of employment for people without other options. If you destroy the gang's single largest source of revenue, then it reduces their relative attracting as an employer. There are alternative to drugs like human trafficking, arms dealing and the wildlife trade but they have much much smaller markets. Perhaps in the short term violence would increase as gangs try to find a replacment for drugs, but even in the medium term I strongly believe that recruitment would plummet and attrition would rise as the money ran out.
> As someone who wishes to consume news that is as factual as reasonably possible,

There really isn't such a thing. What you report and how you report it is inherently editorial.

For example Fox News simply isn't reporting on the conservative protesters that are rioting in DC right now (stabbings, property destruction, etc), or choosing to report it as specific, isolated incidents stripped away from the larger context ("a man was stabbed today in DC"...). They aren't saying anything that's false, and yet their viewers largely have no idea what is going on in DC right now. And conversely they frame Seattle and Portland as war zones where you can't even drive down the street without getting a bullet, because they are reporting every single incident and every broken window there.

> how does one evaluate a news source for its trustworthiness, short of physically observing an event for yourself?

Well, live streams are a way that you can observe an event and the context surrounding it yourself, and observe the larger discussions happening on that in realtime (people talking about the stream on twitter/etc). But of course that's another filter bubble.

Also, virtually all official news media today has pro-corporate bias. Like, even MSNBC is owned and run by GE.

I would say it's more important to understand the biases of a particular source in general, and try to evaluate which is more credible in a particular instance.

But right now you can generally exclude most conservative-run media from any sort of credibility. Fox was outright established to be a voice for the Republican party itself (and there is no equivalent for Democrats), in the wake of the Nixon impeachment, because Murdoch felt that if the Republican party had been able to get its message directly to voters then Nixon would have been able to ride out impeachment (and he was right, this time it worked). From there the conservative media has gone off the deep end (OANN, Washington Times, etc) especially over the last 4 years. Criteria number one for credibility is "not conservative media", they simply have no interest in informing, only in defense and offense.

I've got a pretty clear idea, yes. I think people who go around wrecking stores, setting fires, etc. ought to be forcibly dispersed, using tear gas and riot shields and such if they won't leave.

Great question, since they obviously are contortions. Those four words are extremely clear, and yet I can't walk down to my local army surplus and buy any manner of anti-aircraft battery (which might actually be useful against those drones the army can deploy ;) ).

I think the governing circumstance is that the law is assumed to not be a suicide pact, but I lack sufficient case history to really have the zen of how common-law precedent and the US legislature has squared the circle of "shall not be infringed" vs. various licensures, taxes, and bans applied.

Perhaps worth considering is that two of the restrictions - automated rifles and sawed-off shotguns - come from an era where organized crime began out-gunning the police. This may shed light on the question.

> if coca-cola convinces you to try a new flavor through a marketing campaign, it does not eliminate the free market.

If the marketing campaign is open, and I'm aware that that's what it is, and it doesn't make any actual false claims (puffery is another matter--that's basically unavoidable), then yes, it's my choice whether or not to be convinced.

If the "marketing campaign" is really efforts behind the scenes to present me with misleading information and to disguise the motives behind it, that's something different.

It is true that efforts of the latter sort are not new. What impact new "persuasive technologies" have on the frequency or success rate of such nefarious tactics is, I think, an open question.

> Spotify is winning in music, for example.

Jury's still out on that one, Apple Music is making very large in roads, and Spotify is starting to struggle.

It quite possible for the statement "the US have greater cultural homogeneity than the EU" to true alongside the statement:

> European culture is more homogeneous than I think a lot of people in Europe appreciate.

And I would argue that's exactly the case. Having been in startup that seriously looked at expanding in the US vs expanding in the rest of the EU (it expanded into the US), I'm confident to say the US is far more homogenous. Interestingly that doesn't necessarily mean that it's easier for an EU company to expand the US rather than the EU. But it does mean that EU startups have a much larger bump in the road than US companies when they're expanding.
Is 117 arrests “at scale”? Cause that’s what we’re talking about. Normalize that for riot conditions and it just seems likely a journalist is more likely to get hit by lightening than be arrested. Please don’t do the math on that, elaborating for emphasis.
Well corruption in how disputes are handled might not be a huge issue.

As a first step the companies are required to allow you to appeal takedowns and account suspensions/terminations (for TOS or illegal content reasons, not for non-payment reasons) for a 6 month period.

Further, if you appeal a takedown or account suspension and the company rejects your appeal, the law will allow you to take the matter to binding arbitration. If the user wins, the company pays all costs, and must reinstate the content or account. If the user loses, they only pay their portion of arbitration costs. (The company's portion are just part of doing business in the EU).

Oh and the user (not the company) get to decide which arbitrator to use, from among those that have been certified by any Member state, with the relevant expertise for the type of social network and content or TOS violation in question.

Obviously all of this is subject to change if the proposed law is changed before being enacted.

100% agree, but try getting any group of people to agree on this idea even in principle.
Have you ever talked to a lonely person and they talk a lot and do subtle things to try to get you to stay a bit longer (like offering you snacks and drinks and whatnot)? Those are the social cues I'm talking about.

Well, I live in CA and the CA graph is missing a number of critical marks, including the point right before the spike where CA dialed back a number of regulations, allowed indoor dining, etc.

I imagine in this situation the tribes would eventually develop their own currency as they rebuilt and became more complex. The video game Fallout, for example, uses bottle caps as currency even though they aren't making new bottle caps anymore. But given enough time in the game's universe as more people come out of their shelters and return to the surface world, they'd realize that this increasingly rare currency isn't going to last forever. And then they'd start minting new coins or printing new papers.

Gold and silver works great for newer and less technologically advanced civilizations, because it's easier to smelt metal than print new US Dollars on speciality linen paper. It would be easier to lose the ability to smelt metal and then later regain that ability than it is to lose the ability to print USD and try to regain it. But once you reach a certain level of technological sophistication, minting fake gold coins becomes easier than printing new USD and people start to trust the currency less.

So I guess yes, precious metals would be easier to rebuild civilization with because it could be more easily reproduced as technology advances. But no matter what I think every civilization would abandon precious metals as they progressed, because counterfeiting becomes very easy very quickly.

Funny, since both Google Maps and YouTube were acquired, not developed by the monopoly Google.

If anything Google made Maps shittier over time (similarly to how they've managed to fuck over their own GMail offering).

As for Chrome, that was originally developed by KDE devs first and Apple second into a modern browser engine. The innovation part was theirs. Google just adopted it wholesale in the beggining, and started monopolizing its steering...
> That is, if we completely ignore the Pareto principle(which I'm willing to bet is in full effect here)

That's exactly why I mentioned people using multiple apps, which lessens the effect quite a bit. Users on dating apps are also rather fickle, and will jump to the next best app once that becomes available, so even with a big market share, there isn't much lock-in and there isn't much of an outsized benefit to the position as a market leader. E.g. in the European market Bumble appeared a few years after Tinder and within 1-2 years basically everybody that I know that used Tinder before at least tried out Bumble and many continue to use both or switched outright. Of course that's very anecdotal, but current statistics for number of US users for both apps paint a similar picture[0].

> I think it's safe to assume they own 80-90% of the market share. That is pretty close to monopoly if you ask me.

In 2016, they apparently owned 25% of market share[1], which is pretty far away from a monopoly if you ask me.

It seems a bit weird to me to group them together with Alphabet/Facebook/Apple. The others span far more markets, and have much much stronger lock-in effect which they can unfairly leverage to push other products. Compared to that, Match Group is laughable.

Your point seemed like confirmation bias to me. I've been given to use just as many broken bash script as Python. (I'll admit I'm saying that in a false attempt at being fair. In my experience, Python script tend to work better. Then again, I tend to work in mixed env which includes Windows OS.)

You're mentioning exception errors as if having an explicit error message on failure is a problem, not a plus.

What happens when a bash script fails? Or worse, silently fails and leave you with a half-working setup at best and a seriously broken one due to some intermediary step failure being ignored?

If you happen to notice the error that is... like the OP pointed out, almost all bash shell script ignore silently errors and figuring which of the hundred of lines fails on your particular setup is a fun exercise.

And then... which bash debugger to you use to fix problem in bash shell script you been handed? Ah no, it's long reading and echo and trial and errors.
Mila Proposes New Inductive Biases to Boost Deep Learning
Hire someone who has done this exact thing at another startup. You don't know how to do it, and even if you learn a few things here and there, you're clearly not an expert in marketing (just based off your post.) Not trying to offend you, but I'm being straight - hire someone. Someone good, who has done exactly this before, preferably several times, at several different companies, with several different strategies. Someone that can see what's happening with the numbers and feedback and tweak smartly. Pay them well or give them equity. Then retire.

This idea is excellent, useful, and very timely. You have a huge potential customer base out there.

I don't like your pricing structure, but that's just my opinion. Don't want to go too in depth on this.

Good luck.

I checked again with our app on Firefox and performance is not that bad. Rendering gets a slower with large SVGs, but it is still good and there is not much difference between hardware rendering enabled and disabled. So I was either wrong about slow performance on Firefox or things have improved recently.

what would you have rather preferred? that there should be no charity works or volunteerism?

Because I am human.

You're actually reading something into this that isn't there. I want a world that's good for humans because I'm human and my genes make me want a world that is good for me and my offspring.

its not a need, its a value.

I'd still have a genetic drive for self preservation and a gene based desire to live in an environment that was better for me.
Yes, a complete support for insert will definitely look like k8s/terraform cousin. As mentioned in the comment below we probably will support some specific pre-defined actions. Anyway, currently we only support query and as we gather more feedback we will add the action functionality which has it's set of nuances some of which you described very well.

Code commit.

It is so horrible compared to GitHub.
It's a tough reality check for a lot of people who grow up in the US, thinking it's a free country with equal protection of the law, when they realize that there are at least two tiers of protected overclasses (wealthy landowners, and the police) to which only subsets of the law applies in practice (to say nothing of the underclasses who are routinely beaten, robbed, and killed, with no consequences for the attackers).

It's not a small adjustment in one's worldview, and it's normal and common for people who have benefitted from the false narrative to want to cling to it and reject contradictory evidence, as you pointed out.
That's entirely incorrect.

Gawker objected to that court order, and won (https://www.leagle.com/decision/inflco20140117151).

> The circuit court's order granting Mr. Bollea's motion for temporary injunction is reversed because it acts as an unconstitutional prior restraint under the First Amendment.

There's clear Supreme Court precedent from cases like New York Times Co. v. United States (the Pentagon Papers case) that prior restraint is unconstitutional.

They lost the overall case on other grounds.
GraphQL has two notable advantages, neither of which are measured here. First by allowing the client to specify precisely what to retrieve the backend isn't catering to a specific client. This allows for decoupling so each team can develop quicker and with fewer changes down the road.

Of course REST can also be decoupled only needing to follow conventions and defining the resource formats. What it doesn't provide is the second benefit of GraphQL which is eliminating round trips for accessing related resources. This is sometimes done by creating an intermediate 'BFF' service on the back end to serve requests as the client would like them but now that's sensitive to both client and REST API changes.

In short, it's not about the development speed of the first client/server. If that were the case use gRPC etc, generate the interface, implement and you're done. It's about the supporting ongoing changes. Perhaps gRPC or similar will become prevalent enough to replace both REST and GraphQL.
