He didn't do that. He pointed out issues with the cql syntax and specifically scylla's implementation of it. he is also uniquely qualified to make such a statement, as his Jepsen Reports are high quality analyses looking at various databases.

But to address your other claim: they solve the same problem of providing data to your application. They should be compared if that's the decision you have to make.

I took a paragraph from the article and said why I thought it was wrong. I don't think it's pedantry to point out that the author's claim is wrong. I'm not saying it's wrong in some technical, hair splitting sense, but just completely wrong. The author observes modern diversity and suggests it helped in a past struggle, but the modern diversity actually didn't exist then.

If it's pedantry to point out this is wrong, then that's a greater criticism of the article because the author is including a paragraph that is so unimportant it apparently doesn't matter if it's true or false.

You mention that Nazi Germany was big on supremacy and homogeneity and the US isn't, but I think that's the same mistake I originally pointed out. You are conflating modern ideals (don't care about homogeneity or [racial] supremacy) with past ideals. America of the pre-war was actually concerned with those things. I could point to the power of the Klu Klux Klan or the fact that the Nazi eugenics movement was influenced by the American eugenics movement.

It's not the case that "We" won the second world war. Our forbears did, and in some ways they were similar to us and in some different.

My overarching point is that it doesn't really make sense to use the second world war as an example of the strength of modern diversity because modern diversity wasn't in place at that time.
You're right about not being a code editor, but I guess by that I mean that I expect regular text navigation to work flawlessly. Things like alt+arrow keys/holding shift for selections, cmd+up/down for start and end, and the rest. These combinations are often composable for selection, so cmd+shift+up should select to the beginning of the document. These work in my text editor, text fields in every app, Notes, TextEdit, etc, but they often fail in subtle ways in Notion.

Do you want someone who is still entangled with their pasts relationship? From experience, it's a lot easier to move on with a clean break. And it's a lot easier to date someone who has moved on with a clean break too.

A good alternate question to ask is why the relationship failed. If they accept responsibility for at least some of the issues, green flag. Otherwise, you can bet they accept no responsibility in other aspects of their life.

> The head commit on master is the same, but the state of previous commits from your branch becomes different and untested, and quite possibly broken.

Try to break it down, and you will see that the scenario you're positing doesn't make much sense and your concerns are unfounded:

Let's posit the following:

1. We have a feature branch B, with carefully crafted and individually tested commits.

2. We have a minimally working CI setup (which means we always test the code state of the new head of master before landing stuff in master "for real").

On that assumption one of two things can happen when you try to land B whether via rebase or merge:

a) CI fails, because changes in master in the meantime make it so your branch now triggers a test failure or merge conflict whereas before it didn't. We can ignore this, scenario, because nothing lands till

b) CI passes. So we know the HEAD commit on master is fine. But, you say, whilst I know the individual commits on B are also good (I tested them all) and the merge commit is good (CI!), with rebase I only know the head commit works -- what if the rebasing broke some intermediate commits?

But for that to happen, all the following need to be true:

1. You don't didn't use rebase -x (why not, if you carefully test all individual commits on the feature branch?)

2. Your individual commits all work correctly on the feature branch and would pass CI.

3. The sum of your individual commits plus master works correctly and definitely does pass CI.

4. Because of changes in master branch since the common ancestor of present master and B, a) at least one of the commits of B no longer would pass CI when tested, although it does on the branch (not an unlikely scenario so far) AND b) a latter commit on the feature branch miraculously fixes this incompatibility (because we know the HEAD passes). This is not theoretically impossible, but exceedingly unlikely. And, you can easily guard against it happening as described above.

Low-skill immigration, like the shop workers and cleaners cited in the article, is an example of private industry obtaining a small benefit (lower wages) at the cost of a significantly larger externality imposed on the government and society as a whole [0]. In an ideal capitalist system, these externalities would be properly factored into the cost of the outputs that use immigrant labor, likely making them uncompetitive.

The free market libertarian position is very pro immigration (open minds, open markets, open borders) for the same reasons you mentioned. I would argue that many conservatives aren't really pro capitalism when it comes down to the details.

Also, I noticed that the more socialist a country leans the more difficult it is to immigrate largely due to the potential burden that person may place on society (they require you to have skills or capital, not have certain diseases, certifications, ect).
I think attitudes have changed a lot since events in Hong Kong, at least amongst the younger crowd.
One word: risk

Countries are not reluctant to allow immigration, they are reluctant to allow immigration of potentially harmful people (as long as we're below immigration capacity)

Proxies for "harmfulness" are:

- different culture estimated via parent citizenship, religion, and language

- less wealth, estimated by income (having a job already), income potential (education) and/or money in the bank account

Your reply doesn’t address the question asked.

During a software license purchase for macOS, you either need to provide your PII to Apple, or to an indie developer.

In your opinion, is it safer to provide your PII to an indie developer than to Apple as part of such a purchase?

Assuming that is the case, is your objection to Apple having your PII then extended to all other large-volume payment processors such as Shopify, Stripe, Amazon, and PayPal as well?

To elaborate a bit, I came from a perl, java background. I'm aware of clos protocols, I've fiddled with squeak and the "here's a test case, give me all the functions that pass the test". Different languages have different strengths.

But golly, Haskell has (had) a lot of hype. Monads, lazy evaluation, random lens stuff is fine and all, but type classes are unreal. you get to specify up front what capabilities you want to buy into.

I guess, just try implementing Num of Float as the first derivative. It's pretty magical how much power the compiler provides. And you _know_ it's doing what you think it's doing.

Haskell opens up a bunch of rabbit holes. but really getting a good grasp on interfaces that don't leak is, well from my background, really really mind expanding. There's a large difference between being real smart and having the compiler enforce assumptions. I dunno. I think the Haskell hype lives up to the claims from type classes alone.
It is absolutely unreasonable. Buterin is willingly committing fraud and you should be ashamed of yourself for defending it. He has a past history of fraud, so it's unsurprising-- it's less clear to me what you get out of it.

A pre-mine doesn't stop being a pre-mine after you've sold it and lined your pockets with the proceeds. When they eventually finish[1] dumping the rest of their coins on misguided members of the public will the pre-mine be 0%? Obviously not.

Moreover, the self same people made purchases in the "crowdsale" and then immediately paid those funds back to themselves. E.g. Hoskinson extracted a million dollars the day the presale closed.

> the stake of the founders, including the non-profit Ethereum Foundation, was 11%

Check your math because 12 million out of 72 million isn't 11%... nor does that include the additional funds 'purchased' in their share offerings (in scare-quotes because it's not really correct to call something a purchase when it was paid back).

Ethereum was 100% pre-mined. They then sold about ~80% of the pre-mine to the public (and to themselves, with no known upper-bound on percentage of the self-sales) and pocketed the proceeds. After that they issued additional coins via mining to the public and diluted their positions but later substantially cut the supply of mining off when the price kept falling. The plan now is to soon eliminate the mining and award the coins that would have been mined to existing large position holders (parties with more than $20k worth of ethereum).

When this transition is complete the issuance will be extremely similar to ripple's -- e.g. a huge amount created by the system's operator, a large portion sold by that operator to the public over time, and a portion given away as lotteries. The primary difference is that in ethereum the lottery part was conducted directly by the system through diluting the operators shares rather than being handed out in airdrops as Ripple did, and -- of course-- the relative amounts of these groups. Ripple has been a lot greedier about it.

[1] Technically they'll never finish, because of the more recent plans to continue to award these massive pre-mine holders with additional coins in perpetuity in exchange for taking them out of circulation, they'll be able to largely preserve their position while continuing to dump on the public.
I would be surprised if it did poorly, however.

I don't think people who say "For me YouTube recommendations are not toxic" actually get the point. Although I won't judge your opinions or preferences, the real issue with Youtube or any recommender system is the way it games your dopamine system.

Studies have shown how the prospect of an unknown reward riles up users of social media platforms. Is this a bad thing? It might depend on who you ask. For someone like me, who has been through multiple addictions (cigarattes, drugs), I know that abusing dopamine affects quality of life, productivity and happiness in general.

In that way, I think recommendation systems which optimize for higher engagement is toxic. I think there's value in having an AI do the heavy-lifting of choosing the right content for us. But, the AI's rewards should align with what I need, which is quality content tailored for me (whether or not it increases my engagement on that platform).
I've always wondered who does those browsers / email clients / phone UIs you see in films and on TV that are kind of familiar but also not "real" software. I'm talking about everyday films - not futuristic fantasy. Often when someone writes an email in a film the UI is some kind of Frankenstein interface that isn't recognisable as say Gmail or Outlook. Am I just imagining this? Is there a company that specializes in writing fake UIs for films and TV?

I'll take the heat for this comment, but I distrust the poster. The main facts might be correct, however the presentation and interpretations implied seem disingenuous.

The Google representative from the story is woman, but a white one, which makes her a bit more evil than if she was any other color obviously. The other Google woman there is a colored one and is presumed innocent without proof in the text. Now I might be wrong and the poster might know things that she is not sharing. Or this is just an emotionally manipulative story. At least, she learns about the plagiarism in 2018, but at the end of the thread she says that she felt betrayed for the last four years. Final touch is how she leaves the discussion and pushes the "mom mode" just in case that we've forgotten.

One of the reasons I don't like Twitter is how declarative it is with people stating their shit as universal truths, and no space for argumentation, construction of proofs, and nuance.
