On the first point, Amazon should strictly prohibit gifting free Vine items to others. It is inherently antithetical.

On the second point, no. I don't think it's possible to give free items to people and get honest reviews. The free-ness will often induce either charity or laziness in reviewers. The only way to get an accurate review on a product at its price point is to sell the item at its price point in the wild.
For context, the examples you mentioned are cases of the great filter lying ahead of us. The more optimistic hope is that the great filter is behind us - things like abiogenesis or multicellular life being extremely unlikely to happen. "Great filter" is just the name for "a barrier that stops life from becoming a spacefaring civilization".

This explanation is also the reason why finding basic life (say, bacteria) in the Solar System would be a cause for worry - if life evolved independently twice in the same star system, it would imply abiogenesis isn't that unlikely - thus strongly suggesting the great filter is still ahead of us.
I really don't think the problem with Voat was tech debt. I think it was humanity debt.
Will share this with a teacher friend in Finland.
Thanks
Depressing. We really are heading the wrong way. The law should not take into account ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender(sex), nor any other of the innumerable inborn qualities that make you and I who we are - distinct and diverse by no fault of our own. Neither should hate speech be illegal, just for being directed at some(any really) grouping or peoples. Direct calls for violence against persons, yes, calls for lynching, fire in a theatre yes possibly.

Of course, I am a hypocrite. I would be in favour of these types of laws as mentioned in the article if they were for protecting the groups to which I belong; that those who criticize in unkind words, hatefully, men of my own ethnicity be silenced. Who does not want to see their opponents dragged away in handcuffs, their name blasted in media as a hate criminal, life ruined?

But I would rather see absolute free speech, guaranteed by law and general social acceptance.

One set of rules for thee, and another for me.
> But yeah, for every polite person in some isolated corner there were 50 screaming about politics on the front page.

The problem with Voat wasn't that some people were "talking politics" on the front page. The problem was that the vast majority where anti-semites, racists, and otherwise horrible. That's beyond "talking politics" in any decent sense of the phrase.

Another related law is the requirement for cyclists to keep as far right as practicable regardless of whether or not there are marked lanes for traffic [1].

Most states have a law that requires vehicles moving at less than the normal speed of traffic to use the right most lane that serves their destination. But the law that specifically applies to cyclists states that they have to keep as far right as practicable within the right most lane itself (with some exceptions).

For instance, here's the law [2] in New York:

>> Upon all roadways, any bicycle or in-line skate shall be driven either on a usable bicycle or in-line skate lane or, if a usable bicycle or in-line skate lane has not been provided, near the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway or upon a usable right-hand shoulder in such a manner as to prevent undue interference with the flow of traffic

They state the reason is to prevent undue interference with the flow of traffic. They don't mention anything about cyclist safety.

I think the right interpretation of the question is whether there is lighting in the area rather than whether there is lighting immediately adjacent.

I guess there's still some subjectivity in that interpretation. But given that lights can be directly mapped, I think capturing whether there is lighting on the segment is a sensible way to do the quest.

If you want, I can help you find the ones you already marked, just send me an email.

My beef with mutable data is that it's often very hard to see when it's supposed to be modified and by what.

I don't get upset by a local var i in a while loop, although I often don't see the point.

The problem is the dark mutable data. All those objects being passed around, are they just being read?, are they being modified by this method call?

So if mutable data is used responsibly, it's not a problem. But there's no guarantee that it's used responsibly. Unless all data is immutable. Then it's guaranteed
In the words of Raymond Chen, adding a `-Depth` parameter is using a global solution to a local problem. If certain types should not be serialized beyond a certain depth, the config should be per type, not on the whole serialization.

Or leave it as it is and expect the user to map the complex values into hashtables. Eg in your example, make the user pipe the objects through `%{ @{ Name = $_.Name; Mode = $_.Mode; } }` first.

In any case, I don't know about other PS users, but all my command-lines that ended with ConvertTo-Json either started with ConvertFrom-Json (transforming an existing JSON file), or started with HashTables (building a JSON file from scratch) or a mix of the two. Therefore I always wanted everything to be serialized, and the `-Depth` parameter was always a nuisance.
That sounds like an interesting story. Do you have any further info about Apple using a Cray for prototyping?
You can imagine why, for many, this is hard to believe. People have said for years legacy automakers will “catch up” to Tesla, while they continue to ramp at Plaid speed.

Culture is hard, but the core of your business. To not embrace the culture your org needs to outcompete competitors is to embrace failure.
The incentives are precisely the same as they are today. And the argument, by the way, isn't that "you should sell 172 of your shares", its that "you should donate 172 of your shares back to the company, otherwise the value of the rest of your shares may go to $0".

I expect that the major differences you'd see are that you would need some kind of large pool of stock in reserve to save for future investments (or yes, to do buybacks which would give employees/investors early liquidity opportunities with each new round).

This way, at least, you aren't being lied to when they say you'll get X% of the company. My entire point here is that employees don't have enough representation in these kinds of negotiations, and thus almost always end with the shortest stick. So systematic changes, even if those changes make startups harder, are necessary to make them broadly enticing.
Society has a left-leaning tinge. Especially society in the age range that reddit caters to. There's no grand conspiracy. Right politics are wildly unpopular with young to middle-age people.
I am talking about wait times, you are talking about satisfaction; they are different things.
The second you need to make a reliable predication based on it.

The good news (or bad depending on your take) is that we're nowhere close to being an advanced enough civilization to have any real stake in making predications about the future state of the universe other than "it will look basically the same as it does today", which we've conveniently used to position ourselves very accurately on the surface of the earth since the sextant and star charts.

TL;DR:

> I fight not being bitter and resentful. You see, this wasn’t supposed to happen, at least not now. The short of it is that the “Angel” defaulted on the contract in March 2020. This is when Voat lost all of it’s funding. I personally decided to keep Voat up until after the U.S. election of 2020. I’ve been paying the costs out of pocket but now I’m out of money.

> I will lay Voat upon the cross on December 25th 2020 at 12 noon PST

It makes sense to stop further introduction.
You could also count finance. Apple Card and Apply Pay. Apple was able to execute through partnerships. It is possible they use a similar strategy here. I think it is important to remember that as painful as these regulatory and compliance hurdles might be, it pales in comparison to the research, design and deployment of technology enabled products that Apple delivers.
While double jeopardy itself only applies to criminal cases, there is a principle in civil cases that you can't litigate the same issue twice. In practice, this is much narrower than double jeopardy's rule in criminal cases, and comes even less close to applying here than double jeopardy would [were it to apply to civil cases].
> The other technique that we developed (which was devastatingly effective) was to distract the committee with issues that were irrelevant but amenable to debate.

It's not exactly the same but this reminds me of the way Matt Stone described his interactions with the MPAA board in This Film Is Not Yet Rated (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_Film_Is_Not_Yet_Rated).

i.e. they went into the Team America rating negotiation with aggressive material they were prepared to cut, and probably wanted to cut anyway, and let the committee spend all their time on that.

The incentives aren't the same because in previous system I can't try and hold out for a personal advantage,in yours I can.

I agree with your basic premise of some of the problems, I just don't see this as a practical way of addressing them. I can imagine explicit buybacks etc., as you suggest, but all those mechanisms will probably the funding side in similar ways to getting rid of liquidation preference.

Keeping a reserve stock for future investment is plausible (may give accounting headaches) but anything you do can't plan for all eventualities; when you are running out of money and all stock is committed you have a problem.
Is this graph in nominal price or inflation-adjusted price? It is not obvious from the source.

In a way, it kind of _is_ spaghetti code. Even if there's no back references, it turns a single train of thought into a string of entrances and exits.
When the hardcore believers from /r/The_Donald moved to Voat, I was happy that it was still possible for anyone to read what they were saying. Similar to a honeypot or sting operation, we are probably worse off when they scatter back to the shadows.
This is being studied.
Once again tho, it's not the tech that makes/breaks the company/platform
Well, performance didn’t save Voat, so not sure what your point is exactly...
You are welcome! I would love for other people to use this.
I was working for Walmart once, and I typically did FE JavaScript engagements, but one time they asked for a script that hid bad reviews on individual product pages in
a "natural" manner - ie don't hide all the bad ones, but artificially bump up the score. And they bumped up the score only for particular products that were profitable or they had more in stock of. This was yeaaaars ago.

Needless to say, I never trusted a review again!
Looks like most superchargers supply exactly 150kW (newer ones supplying 250kW) [1].

Microvan is great but the K-car restriction is too hard. (car manufacturers make effort to build great cars even the restriction)

It restricts car width max to 1480mm, it's very hard and not very sense even in Japan. I wish it was expanded to around 1600mm and engine to 1000cc. It should also make it easier to export K-car to overseas.
Nice and terse :-)

Right, the ".." part was hard to remember because it's something like:

{
"entries": [
{
"fields": {
"fileURL": {
"en-US": "https://..."
},
...
},
...
},
...
]
}

and as you can see the field fileURL is actually an object with another field en-US (with a hyphen) so the jq becomes something like this:

<file.json jq -r '.entries[] | .fields | select(.fileURL) | .fileURL["en-US"] | select(startswith("http://"))'

And later I had to do the same for other fields that ended in URL (websiteURL, etc.)

Anyway, gron made it simpler to get a quick summary of what I needed because it represents every node in the tree as a separate line that has the path in it, which is perfect for grep.

I still use jq more than gron :-)
Is there anyway to know if the vaccines are effective against the new strains?
Others have mentioned some cool projects in this space, but you mentioned self hosted specifically so I’ll share what we’re working on since it might match what you’re looking for.

As a new project we are still figuring out some of major topics you described.

In short, we built a data science pipeline tool that should fit well with existing workflows in machine learning and data science. We chose to embrace and integrate open source projects to create a simple and seamless experience with best in breed solutions for various tasks.

We are particularly happy with our deep integration of JupyterLab building on the excellent Jupyter Enterpise Gateway project from IBM (Codait) for connecting kernels directly to your pipelines. For scheduling we build on top of Celery combined with containerization primitives. For stable and well defined dependency management we built a small environment abstraction on top of Docker. It works really well in our experience!

Feel free to check out the project on https://github.com/orchest/orchest

Self hosting should be as easy as running about two lines of code.
I'm not entirely sure I understand this point. Even if I were to concede the point that all of Reddit has a left-leaning (in a US sense of the word) tinge, is that at all comparable to the right-leaning tinge of Voat?

Is advocating for e.g. defunding the police, medicare for all, and free college comparable to saying immigrants should be shot on the border, that the holocaust simultaneously didn't happen and wasn't effective enough, and that racial minorities should be hanged?

Even if you vehemently disagree with the three examples of left-leaning policies I used as an example, and any other examples I could've used, surely you can recognize that they are fundamentally different to the stuff that permeated every crevice of Voat? Saying Reddit and Voat both have a tinge completely ignores any context and nuance.

EDIT:

There's an example I'd like to bring. It's from a thread on the frontpage called "Voat, I could use a little life advice". It's from a person that is having trouble paying their bills, and can't do much doordash driving because they refuse to wear a mask. The most upvoted response is this:

> "Was a really good programmer for years". Good, not many people are and it's a skill that's good for decades. n* * * * * * can't fake coding skills like they do everything else

Another upvoted response from the thread says this:

> Why don’t we create funds for fellow nationalists like the n* * * * * * and the ki* * *? Somewhere to pool resources to lift white brothers in need.

Mind you, this is from the front page of both the AskReddit-equivalent and the global front page. And this is on a question that wasn't about anyone but the original poster and their money trouble.
Here's an archive of the announcement: https://web.archive.org/web/20201222001232/https://voat.co/v...

Looking at those comments, it will not be missed.
I’m fairly sure both honeypots and sting operations were carried out on voat.

Hm... but a phone is orders of magnitude harder to build than a car (minus the computer). Keep in mind, Tesla didn’t design or build the computers.

Cars use many more off the shelf parts, they have far easier supply chains to tap into.

Designing and building the CPU, GPU, camera systems, neural chip/software, touchscreen, FaceID, etc. All of these components require way more competence to build than any single part of an electric car using an off the shelf computer.

Cars have more parts, but they are dramatically bigger, less intensely complex, less intensely integrated. Just the CPU alone of a phone puts an entire electric engine to shame in terms of difficulty of engineering.

So it’s an interesting comparison. But I’d put money on Apple making a great car before Tesla made a great computer.
I think they would be kicked off whatever fund raising platform they use pretty quickly.
Why? What exactly are you dreading? That our understanding of the universe and science involved might have some serious flaws? If so, won't we just adjust our understanding to something that matches the observations?
Maximum entropy, I think?

I've wondered about this. How can something which is having a cold death (zero kelvin) also have maximum entropy? But I am not at all an expert.
These days everyone just blindly trusts the people in charge. I wish people would start questioning authority more.
Notice the word choice: “we have no evidence...” the answer is actually “we don’t know” because we haven’t studied it. There’s a term for this type of communication as it’s quite common but the name escapes me..
As I underderstand it "sells 0day to gov" and "sells 0day for crime" are distinct brokers, even though in some cases they purchase exploits from the same suppliers.

TFA is really only talking about the first group because (for obvious reasons) regulating brokers who sell exploits or tools for criminal purposes is not going to work. That's already illegal.

Insecure spyware/crapware is a distinct (commercial) market which doesn't overlap much with the other two and doesn't rely on "0day" at all.

Broadly I agree with your analysis re: Microsoft's motives here.

However I believe the OP's analogy holds if you don't overextend it beyond exploit sales to government.
Yeah, that was the joke :) It helped put the power draw in perspective for me.

I'm not sure what exactly Linus means by this, but I read this as: for good programmers, coding is about managing data structures and their relationships whereas bad programmers are more concerned with just getting the thing to work.
I was wondering about that, because the docs say it uses Json.NET, which while an excellent library is being replaced with System.Text.Json in the BCL/FCL as far as I know.
Maybe but these variants can arise spontaneously as well, probably as a function of the immune response.
I don't wish to veer into ad hominem arguments, but it is worth noting that the UK government must be very relieved to be able to associate the new lockdown rules with the new strain of the virus.

By pointing to an unpredictable external factor they can justify the apparent U-turn in their policy, while also not having to point the finger at any potential voters who may not have been following the rules well enough.

Whether the government's political needs have an effect on how scientists interpret or represent their findings is something I only have a hypothesis about.
Reduce is just a loop that's already been written for you!
Use an editor with folding and this is just unnecessary indirection and jumping around to read a linear series of steps that happen one after another. If a function is only called in one place, it should rarely be a function. It may help a small amount when viewing a stack trace, so you can tell at a glance without looking up the line and jumping to the section, if that is a big enough advantage, can make it a lambda and leave it all in place as long as the debugger/stack trace will list the lambda assignment name.

I use FB when required for family events, and for niche advertising.

The vast majority of my family and peers use it, for a variety of reasons, almost none of which is toxic or insidious.

Facebook is a reflection of the the internet itself: you have your ice cream blogs, videos about cats, your CNNs, Foxs and the occasional Newsmax turds, very angry social justice types, weddings, funerals, sales, new toys, new interiors, babies, graduations etc. etc. That's life.

I was wary of Facebook right form the start, with Millenials foolishly handing over every little bit of their personal lives thinking 'this was the future' ... but also wary of Facebook now, largely for the same reasons, though the evolution was always a little bit obvious if you think about it.

People were way too upbeat about it then and way to downbeat about it now. Realize what a narrative and try to get off of it.

Facebook was always gossip, prone to bits of otherwise tawdry trash, but otherwise normal for any given era.

Great post. I would even go as far as to amend your last comment to be closer to its inspiration:

> Code only those things that your grandparents would have coded

Software has been around long enough that some people's grandparents were coding, but due to the limitations of many of the systems at the time, functional, simple programs were often the craziest they could get.
I have trouble understanding this kind of talk. What's a problem domain, what's its dimension and normalization, and what's the high order logic all about? Can we use plain words people from our grandfather generation can recognize?
