> Wow what a cherry picked example

Cherrypicked? How is electricity, indoor plumbing and abject poverty cherrypicking? Those are the basic necessities of modern life. It's almost 2021.

> I guess being a "democracy" should just magically solve a millennia of colonialism and thousands of years of rigid class hierarchy?

Except that china also had the exact same issues. In many respect, china had it worse than india when it came to colonialism. Yet look at china and look at india.

> And even if it absolutely should, the wealth gap in india is at an all time low due to Reservation policies.

Talk about cherrypicked. Who cares about wealth gap when you don't have electricity?

> Interesting, I never saw nets along the company housing in japan/us preventing workers from killing themselves,

Once again, that's foxconn. A taiwanese company and a major supplier for japanese and american tech goods.

> nor have I heard of american workers sneaking letters in products begging for help.

You mean the silly propaganda you hear every 10 years? Ever wonder what becomes of those stories?

> Also, I love how you're equating humans rights with "virtue signalling".

No. I equate hypocritical virtue signaling about human rights as "virtue signaling". Never mind that we benefit from chinese "slave labor", we have been murdering millions of people world wide. We cause more human suffering than the chinese in the name of "human rights".

> Spoken exactly like a privelaged fool who doesn't understand the value of right, yet deems them unworthy for others.

I guess I am privileged since I've always had electricity. Something millions of indians sadly do not. So virtue signal about democracy and human rights some more like hundreds of millions live without electricity, plumbing and food in india.

After ww2, both india and china were in the same position. 70 years later, india has fallen behind considerably leading to immense human suffering. Instead of focusing on that, hypocritical virtue signalers whine about nonsense.
I'm looking for a site that supports not only books but short stories.

My primary interest is in recording my thoughts on books and stories I've read, so a review site is what I'm looking for. This is more challenging for short stories as they don't have a ISBN, may appear online, or in a fiction magazine or in an anthology.

So, I may put down my thoughts on short story X that I read in book Y, but if I look up book Z that also features that short story, my thoughts on the story would also appear there.

In short, I'm looking for a site that also records short stories like the ISFDB [1], but allows users to add reviews.

So far, I haven't found one. I'm now putting down my notes on short stories in a Zotero database.

Really? I consider it one of the three worst films I've seen: just a celebration of excessive violence and gratuitous avoidance of due process/checks and balances, made to seem defensible only because of unrealistic movie-protagonist ultracompetence. It's a worse case of Tom Clancy syndrome than the man himself ever did.

The last "big deal" for me was when Wireguard got merged. Oh baby, that was a good one, I think I was excited about that release for like a week - cause I use the shit out of WG - WG all the things. And that was this year (or last?). So, I'm just a +1 to someone who has cared about a recent release.

> Google sells user data, but that isn't true; user data is only used for ad personalization.

And other companies getting referrals can’t connect the dots when they know the user clicking on the AdWords Ad and what the Ad was for?

Companies that work with big data companies run AdWords campaigns in Google for other companies, right?

Even if Google isn’t evil and does everything in the interest of privacy, if their ads, based on your preferences from your emails and browsing history, are used to direct you to some product, there is a way that other companies will learn of those preferences, store them, sell them, and use them.

Here's the short version:

Gold's market cap is about $10 trillion.

Bitcoin is like digital gold—scarce, hard money not tied to a government. It's better than gold in that it's easily divisible (1 satoshi is 1/100,000,000 of a bitcoin), easy to transport, etc.

Bitcoin is becoming a global store of value; its market cap is about $350 billion. All fiat currencies except the dollar and the pound sterling has gone to zero at one time or another.

The more fiat is inflated in an unstable world, the more it replaces gold as a safe haven, store of value.

Last I heard bitcoin was not technically able to be used as a payment processor subsitutes.

It can be used for paying for things but it makes more sense to use fiat for daily expenses and save bitcoin. Why would I spend something that will be worth a lot more 5 years from now, while the fiat currency in my pocket loses value every week?

Bitcoin is already becoming the standard for large, irreversible transactions, where it excels [1].

> You don't need any special invitation or application to join the party.

It used to be that you need a firm endorsement of someone that has been a member for a few years, and it's still more or less the case a lot of times. You generally need to file an application to join, and you're expected to pay membership fee on a regular basis.

CCP membership is by and large a YMMV scenario given how large the country is and how deep the organization runs. While I believe your wife might be in the situation where she felt she had to join (due to her social class, affiliation or being in a certain region), it's not common for someone to be seen as a problem if they decide not to join.

From all the years of observation and all the people that I know day to day, most of people join for certain prospect of future benefits, career or social status wise. They know very well it opens the door to another class.

As someone who has been living in Mexico for a couple of years now to save money, these types of stories terrify me.

I am seriously thinking of moving back to the United States. The only problem is that I cannot really afford to live there.

I have some unresolved health issues and for many years have been working exclusively online because I could not handle commuting. But for me it has not been easy to find high-paying programming jobs online. There are just many more low-paying contracts and often I run out of money before I find a high-paying one which seems like it will have a workload that's manageable for me.

So now so I have something which is totally fine in a way in that it's about $2000 per month (to handle all of the programming and servers for an automated cryptocurrency trading system that seems to be going nowhere but has been a steady income for several years) and I have Thursday and Friday to work on my deep learning classes. And I can easily manage to get by in Tijuana on that much.

But this kidnapping thing is terrifying.

Maybe Rosarito will be safer than Tijuana? I mean my neighborhood here in Playas _seems_ very safe. I would have to move to a ghetto or something in the US. Which I would not really quite be able to afford.
In an ideal world, I fully agree with you. It's already the case that bikes are permitted everywhere, so let's just enforce that. However, it's already the case that bikes are allowed everywhere and drivers are still aggressive. If printing some text on roads improves safety, I value that more than what ought to be.
At least they’re not doing the south bay thing where they use slick green to mark the bike lane, and then don’t reliably street sweep it during the winter.

I’m not sure a grade separated lane is really necessary or desirable for long stretches of road. The renderings show planters separating the car and bike lanes. That could be enough on its own.

Did they have a plan to buy street sweepers that could clean the grade separated lane?
No the official policy is 80%/20%. The joke is 120% when you're assigned too much work for your 80.

I think the thing that comes with ~~seniority~~ experience is being better able to predict where abstraction is likely to be valuable by becoming: more familiar with and able to recognize common classes of problems; better able to seek/utilize domain knowledge to match (and anticipate) domain problems with engineering problem classes.

I’m self taught so the former has been more challenging than it might be if I’d gone through a rigorous CS program, but I’ve benefited from learning among peers who had that talent in spades. The latter talent is one I find unfortunately lacking in many engineers regardless of their experience.

I’m also coming from a perspective where I started frontend and moved full stack til I was basically backend, but I never lost touch with my instinct to put user intent front and center. When designing a system, it’s been indispensable for anticipating abstraction opportunities.

I’m not saying it’s a perfect recipe, I certainly get astronaut credits from time to time, but more often than not I have a good instinct for “this should be generalized” vs “this should be domain specific and direct” because I make a point to know where the domain has common patterns and I make a point to go learn the fundamentals if I haven’t already.

If someone would decide to use either dat or hyper as a base for a project today: what are the differences?

Is hyper going to replace dat as an advancing network protocol? Is peer discovery different, or did hyperdrive change...or...?

(I am very confused about dat/hyper efforts, as I've been following it a bit over the last year)

I've seen that beaker changed to hypercore/hyperdrive...so my current assumption is that the hyper protocol is the web browser effort, rather than the other parts of infrastructure.

Are there incompatibilities in both protocols, or is hypercore trying to refactor its codebase in order to say, remove legacy dependencies that might not be necessary anymore?

I don't see how #1 is possible. Tesla is on record as having driven driven a total of 12.2 autonomous miles, vs 1.45 million for Waymo[1]. If they were actually serious about building a self driving car in the near future they would be taking steps now to get regulatory approval, and to the best of my knowledge they have not. Meanwhile Waymo has taxis on the road without human drivers and Cruise has a pilot program.

The only pro Tesla argument that I hear is that they are gathering more data. This is entirely fallacious because there are no meaningful milestones for data gathered, and it's not true. Google has orders of magnitude more of driving data from Android, Maps, and Waze.

What you're describing seems to come down to the identity

That is, an implication whose antecedent is a disjunction is a conjunction of implications. On the other hand,

((a → (w ∨ c)) ↔ ((a → w) ∨ (a → c)))

That is, an implication whose consequent is a disjunction is a disjunction of implications.

I rode a bike as my sole form of transportation for a few years. it's not "impossible" to do correctly, but it may be impossible to do without exceeding the amount of effort you're willing to exert.

> Sometimes you have to turn left across many lanes of fast cars, what are you supposed to do?

one of the great things about biking is that you get to pick and choose between car rules and pedestrian rules depending on which set fits the situation best. whenever I am uncomfortable making a left turn, I pull off to the right and cross the intersection like a pedestrian.
Any thoughts on The Expanse? I quite like it.
Thank you. It's funny how reality seen through an American lens is so incredibly distorted. The myth that America is the worlds only remaining super power is so well entrenched that even presumably very smart and informed people will happily believe it. But that doesn't make it true.

Oh I see. So it's actually the same as the old plan (unenforced storage limit), but without the (also unenforced) minimum of 5 paying users.

I also just read that you can in fact get an Enterprise plan without contacting Sales by buying a Business plan and then upgrading through the admin console.

> you need to be a Party member to apply for car plate? WTF...

It's a weird propaganda. But no aliens.
I don't disagree, but I do wish there was a more formalized way to educate both bikers and drivers on the laws. I just saw the Washington DC official bike map has the laws on it, but others do not. And what use are the laws if the drivers don't know them? Both bikers and drivers need to know them to be successful.

I've asked a good number of both bikers and drivers in my area and they don't know that the laws exist:

A driver must move over to the next lane if it is open and a biker is in the bike lane or the lane the driver is in.

A driver must not pass closer than 3 feet from a biker

A biker may take an entire lane and ride two wide

I think if drivers knew that the above rules, and it became a norm to take the entire lane when 3 feet was impossible based on the size of the lane, then biking would be safer.

To not leave this as a "this is bad" without proposing how to fix it... the education could be incorporated into gaining your drivers license, city sponsored advertisements, or having police actively spend a period of time enforcing the above laws (warnings would be fine, more for education than penalty)... or all 3.
I read a few of his novels and watched a couple of series, movies based on those.
For me, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy... with Alec Guinness was the best of these.

But one thing I noticed and liked is how dull the novels are. Not much happens.

Till then I had read/watched Bond and similar fiction. And John le Carré was different. The complexity, uncertainty, deliberation, etc. was far better IMO than Bond's action and cigarettes.

It was like watching Morse after Jack Bauer. And while saying one is better than the other is probably a matter of taste ("Bond lit his 70th cigarette of the day"), I liked le Carré more.

I don’t know why the solution that cyclists should be on the same grade as the pavement (the sidewalk), so that the pavement was about the width of a car lane, so that people could walk and cycle safely away from cars, and have plenty of room to avoid each other too. Why do we always sacrifice cyclists (and peds too) for the sake of cars. The bike lane, where it exists, in my area of suburbia basically forces you into a gutter where you will invariably crash into a bin and probably get squashed by passing traffic.
Maybe by 2030 we’ll have decent trackpad and HiDPI support

Coffin corner is the speed between stall speed and overspeed, some number close to mach 1 that the airframe cannot handle. A stall-induced dive at that altitude risks hitting a speed that will damage the wings. The U2 is essentially a fighter jet with glider wings: two things that dont want to play well together. It is a frankenstien's monster of an aircraft.

> smart people who started with the best of intentions

I had two roommates try to make a structurally stable stool / box out of lumber. 3 hours later I returned to find both of them pissed off & a "box" without a square corner in sight.

Days later, I offered in a conversation with them how odd it is that dimensional lumber doesn't measure the named dimensions.

They looked at me in shock and said "Maybe that's why nothing was lining up."

That's "X does Y, because how hard can it be?" in a nutshell. But the broader takeaway is to test & validate your own assumptions -- they had a measuring tape the entire time.

There are a few categories:

* Things that would be in scope, but the Zig project is not yet capable of supporting. An example of this would be compiling stuff to GPUs, e.g. SPIR-V. Such things are planned but not implemented. https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/2683

* Things that will never be in scope. An example of this would be code obfuscation, which is a use case the Zig project does not recognize.

* Object formats that are drastically incompatible with the von Neumann architecture. It would be infeasible for Zig code to be compiled to such things. For example, attempting to compile to CSS (Cascading Style Sheets).

I think that's it. Anything else would be supported, provided there were enough people interested in providing maintenance for the respective parts of the codebase.
