I never understood why an individual would go out of their way to defend a corporation. Otherwise, found a "google engineer".

The issue most people have with it is the amount of data collected unnecessarily, rather than the practices around safeguarding it. Many "small startups" wouldn't collect it in the first place and it would be a non-issue. Even when "small startups" are collecting more information as they should, it's not in one basket and has less value without context.

Would results from trials breaking western ethical norms be accepted by FDA?
FWIW, I recently found out that AirBnB now requires government id to be shared as verification after not having logged into AirBnB since 2014.

I tried to delete my account but the option is not available or may be hidden behind the forced verification requirement.
I'm sure famously low margin, high risk places like restaurants can easily raise employee wages anywhere form 2 to 6 fold. As I said downthread, all a restaurant has to pay is $2.13 an hour if they make enough tips to earn an effective wage of over $7.25 an hr in a week. That's $290 a week for 40 hours of work pretax.

For a tech comparison look at Amazon's Mechanical Turk. It probably is closer to the $2.13 minimum wage in practice than the $7.25 one for what I hear. Now imagine they had to raise what they paid to make sure its an effective $15 an hour based on spending an hour.

You think it would still exist? Would you pay that much? Or is it's value proposition precisely because you can pay them shit wages overall?
Maybe we should move away from free speech into pro speech. Sites that encourage a healthy discussion is what we really want. Anything that discourages that should be reduced in importance anything that encourages that promoted.

Patterns of negative conversation defined by fewer quality reply posts get negative points and vice versa for positive or patterns to be encouraged.

As things evolve and how people respond changes these patterns can change.
Instead of paying the volunteers they could give them free health care for the next 25 years or life. I bet many would take that chance.

> forcing them to do everything else is fine, just as long as no one touches the brain.

I have made no such claim. You keep attacking straw men instead of addressing what I'm actually saying.

> Removing a foot ok though?

I have made no such claim.

> What about the death penalty?

I have already pointed out that the natural consequence (i.e., in a state of nature if there is no society) of attacking someone else for no good reason can be death. So imposing death as a penalty for a sufficiently heinous crime seems to me to be justifiable in principle, if you are sure to a moral certainty that the person did the crime.

Where our current system falls down horribly is in that last part: we impose the death penalty when we are not even close to meeting the strict standard of moral certainty that I just stated.
A common stack in industry now is:
Fivetran (or Stitch) -> Snowflake (or BigQuery) -> Looker (or Mode)

For an organization with 1000+ employees you are going to be paying a lot for whatever service you use, which means that you will get a lot of support from the vendor you go with and you don't have to try to answer all of these questions ahead of time. Plus, you are going to hire someone on your team to manage this, it's not something that someone just manages on the side.
That's a good question, to be honest I hadn't gotten that far yet. It would be great to get some contributors on board but I haven't started. Maybe dig for some specialty forums/subreddits and reach out to people there. Open to any ideas or suggestions, email is in my profile!
If you keep insisting parler as a bastion of free speech then there's not much to argue with you. It was a clearly partisan highly censored place where anything other than right wing commentary was not tolerated.

« The issue here is excessively intrusive tracking, not the ads themselves.»

I use privacy badger as an ad blocker, even though it does not target ads. It somehow block privacy intrusive domains, which happen to be related to ads.
I hear you, I'm not sure how useful this is as a comparison though; plenty of things are fine and dandy if you're upfront that you're doing it and gain agreement from the other party, and illegal if you conceal that you're doing and don't get agreement.

The only conclusion one can make is that it isn't as bad as we're claiming it is. If it were as bad as we claimed, we would be rushing RNs into ICU training, going full Taiwan on mask construction etc instead of saying "Don't wear masks" because we're scared we'll run out of masks.

I don't think using asdf in your container builds is a good idea tbh. You should pin your container to a specific version, or perhaps set the base image version by parsing the .tool-version file.
> why did they remove those deductions?

yes, it is 3-pronged

a) easy to identify

b) liquidity, easy to use for payment

c) kickback and relax, emphasis on kickback

c might sound annoying, but the revenue service has the primary goal of revenue. replenishing the treasury so it can make its own interest payments. you might say, "well take that and still jail the people". okay, I guess. it could have happened here.

all parties in this case acknowledge that a court case would not have any guaranteed results, specifically because of your second sentence:

> Not only is the magnitude of their crime bigger, but their is less justification for it.

The justification is actually broader. Like, sure if the billionaire lacks a justification for paying yes, but the reality is that the government doesn't know WHICH justification the billionaire is using. That's the game. They can be totally blindsided. And then there's the jury, yeah sure a jury with populist sentiment against billionaires combined with a jury judging a black man, doesn't sound great for the defendant but that overlooks everything that was attempted. The man tried to use the amnesty program that the US government set up, and the government denied him! The man already snitched for the government on his first investor who set him up for life! The man tried filing amended tax returns. The jury might actually take a dim view on the state for that, I could totally see a hung jury. And then his lawyers can totally drop some legal opinions they made years ago that showed a justification the government didn't expect at all, shifting liability away from the defendant.

> I've already explained, we can't agree on a mutually acceptable definition of "trustworthy reporters", so this will not happen, ever.

You don't understand. We don't have to agree on a definition of "trustworthy reporters." You seem to be trying to convince me that I should be more skeptical of these allegations, but that's not going to happen unless reporters I consider trustworthy have sufficient access to investigate, to the point where the people you criticize don't have to be relied on. It really doesn't matter what you think of the reporters, and attaching unnecessary conditions is just a deflection and indication there's something to hide.

I agree your petition can't happen ever, but for different reasons. It would probably be quite unwise of you to make it, for obvious reasons.

> Yes, in a sense, You can judge us however you like, also in that sense, we're not obligated to accept your judgment.

You're not, but your decision reflects on you.

To be fair, due to the fact that DMD can't depend on phobos it doesn't use a lot of the features that end up making D compiles slow, like lambdas and deep metaprogramming. DMD is in a way one of the least representative examples of a large D project.
You can recruit the demographics you need by paying them enough.

I'm not sure that its fair to claim that tipping has origins in American Slavery. In the Pullman case, the workers eventually formed the first major African American union and successfully won better pay from the railroads, in 1918.

There's also Wikipedia's suggestion that tipping as a way to make up for lower wages as a wider practice came about as a result of Prohibitions effect on Hotels and Restaurants. [1]

ffs, the whole discussion just went on a tangent around tipping culture wherein the real issue here is about stealing. customer transacted that money for the driver, but it was used elsewhere. that's the issue here not tipping.
Wage theft is by far the largest source of theft by dollar amount in America
Computer graphics basically follows what math describes (x,y,z) or what is on the screen or blackboard. On the screen, x-axis is left and right; y-axis is up and down. When z-axis was introduced, it just came in and out of the screen. The convention is negative z values goes into the screen and positive z values out of the screen.

It's worth remembering that for every dismissive comment, there are thousands of people that tacitly approve.
Don't know why but I can't rely to ardy's comment so I'm gonna write here:

So you agree we(you and us) can't agree on a definition of "trustworthy reporters" but we(China) should accept reporters that you deemed trustworthy, and that really sounds alright to you? seriously?

>It would probably be quite unwise of you to make it, for obvious reasons.

You're implying we're oppressed and you're not, if you're American(US), try saying "All Lives Matter" out loud, my point is, both of us are oppressed, just in different ways.

And no, I don't WANT to make a petition to allow unsanctioned western reporters to come here.
From my reading it seems as if a rather large subset of neurologist do not believe that memory is stored at all. In fact, I have a book written by a computer scientist and neurologist, intending to be a very long argument for why memory must be stored in the brain, weather by neurons or something else. I happened to read a review published in a neurology journal that was brutally dismissive of the book and near made fun of it. Despite the fact that the reviewer failed at providing any answers for logic problems outlined in the book. The reviewer even mistook a logic gate feed back structure for a dual input (the review quoted a study done that cut the “front processor” of the visual cortex to prove that a back connection also existed, I.e. the poor monkey did not lose sight until they severed both the front and back of his brain.)

The claim as I understand it is that there is no “memory” at all. What we experience as memories are simply input parameters that signal our brain to begin a particular function. In the way a neural net does not “remember” the training data but carries out what it “learned” anyway. I have problems explaining this idea as I think it is full of holes and would require some fundamental changes in how we think about feedback structures (I mean this neurologically as well as mathematical/computational).

Either way if most people don’t doubt memory storage in neurons then they are very quite about it. I’ve rarely ever read an argument for memory storage mechanisms in the brain. A good reason for this is simply the question: Where is it then? Neurons individually can’t really provide this sort of expansive data storage. And what they seem to be able to account for is too little and too widely spaced apart. Interestingly this spacing also provides a counter argument against the complex processing that would be required if there wasn’t a memory mechanism.

Personally I think the dismissal of memory comes with a lot of hubris attached, as well as a total lack of understanding information theory. Information theory itself seems to be popularly bemoaned by neuroscientist as well. But it’s hard to see the alternative and is a bit paradoxical since the only way I can seem to understand the “no memory” claim is by using a computer neural net metaphor.
I think Parler's angle was to become the home for popular conservative commentators. Parler continually suggested Hannity, Levin, D'Souza, etc as accounts to follow, even if you blocked those accounts.
And anyone in the middle should be called a spacebar.
We seem to not be having stainless steel shortages. We have plenty of manufacturing, even precision manufacturing, capacity.
Size doesn't have anything to do with it. No matter how big AWS and Azure get or what hardware they use, you can host a website out of a computer in your closet or the phone in your hand. No one needs them to operate, it's just convenient & cost-effective to do so.
I think that's a normal use case of NNCP if we interpret exploit in a benign sense. But hopefully the service doesn't even run as root by default.
That is so typical. My experience with Discord: I need to login to my account to be able to delete it, except what if I cannot log into it?! At first they disabled it, then I e-mailed them requesting them to delete my account, but all they did was a soft-delete, of course. All of the private messages are still there, etc. Even if I were to delete my account myself, it would still leave all my messages intact. I guess my definition of delete is different from theirs. They think delete = disable without saying it is disabled. Of course not being able to re-create the account with the same e-mail just further proves it. All that "delete account" does is remove your profile photo, change your nick, and disable your account, nothing more. I cannot even request them to delete all my private messages. I tried. They just do not give a shit.
You're using Windows examples. Directory names are case insensitive on Windows. On Linux system directories and command names have always been lowercase only for good reason.

Why should I have to memorize the fact that the folder for the package sudo starts with a capital S but the command sudo doesn't. It's not like the capital S carries any information, and as others have pointed out, it's ugly.

You can just not hook direnv into your shell, and use `direnv exec` kind of like pipx.

Tools like asdf, direnv, nix-shell, etc. just encapsulate the environment and help set up some guarantees. The referential transparency of shells is something that these tools help enforce, if anything.

I agree that frequent jumping between the fragmented environments is pain point in software development these days. That's due to a lack of tooling to support the new workflow, in my opinion. I hope enough people feel this pain that we see some solutions.

Having an expressive shell like https://starship.rs helps keep you oriented as a sort of HUD. Nix is definitely a life-saver, but you can probably roll your own nix-a-likes. Encapsulate all the "global" precious tools, hardening them against changes in the "local" shell environment. Whether through wrapper scripts, containerization, or what have you, the building blocks are there, the "best practices" are still being created.
France used to have tips, which became a service fee, and is now transparent in the final price.

Interestingly waiters tend to ask Americans for tips in France, while they don’t expect anything from Europeans, that’s because American tourists tip when they travel there.

The solution is to stop tipping.
For one thing, they have agreements between whoever provides them service, and if they have not been taken down, it means their business partners feel that they uphold their end of the bargain. Or they run their own infra so they only answer to themselves.

BACK IN MY DAY (the 90s?)

You could go to the shitty Mall and have some fun spitting off the balcony or you could go to the good Mall and have some fun trying on stuff at Hollister.

The difference was that if you tried to spit off the balcony at the good mall; you were DIRTY! (havent heard anyone say dirtyKids in a little while).

Spitting-off-the-balcony was like the PURPOSE of the Shitty Mall! Preppy kids spit on Dirty kids at the Shitty Mall!

Or maybe... Even as a teenager; I had enough respect for a place-kept-clean that I would have felt like an ASS for fucking up the good mall.

There is no more "Good Mall".

Friendly, Legitimate, Genuine, Purposeful Interaction seems to be a rare gem today. or worse; a bait-and-switch.

Many elderly folks feel that the only way to win is not to play.

This is not healthy! This is melting our brains!

A very appealing concept. I hope people doing this succeed in generating sufficient income to make a living.

I've said it before, the only way to get out of the tipping culture is to stop tipping, and to continue to fight for a raised minimum wage. There's just no way around it, that's how some other countries got out of the tipping culture too. Shaming others who don't tip, and tipping when you go out, just contributes to the problem.

If people understand that tipping is actually less of a thing, then the pressure will be on the employers, not the customers.

I know I'll get downvoted for saying that, because we're still much in a "if you don't tip you're an asshole" culture. But I personally have decided that I will contribute to the solution by not tipping.
