The web needs to shift more to a model where people pay openly for services; ideally with micropayments or a Spotify-like subscription to ensure a large user base. Free products are ok as a gateway to the paid product, but not if the business model relies on selling data (either directly, or as in Facebook's case selling the processing of data).

False choice. It doesn't have to be one or the other. There are other options: like do some work and host it yourself... or something that is publicly paid for, or something that is made available for free as open source which can be setup by the users themselves, or some generous person volunteering their service for free.

That page isn't new. There's several problems with it:

1. As far as I was able to see, this:

> If you want to permanently close and delete your account, you can do this yourself through Manage your data.

is not true. There was only a button to deactivate the account. I think that they show different pages depending on the user country and just didn't add account deletion for German accounts.

2. Once an account is deactivated, you need to contact them through /help/contact-us/ to reactivate it, but since you are not logged in, it immediately forwards you to /help/contact-us/logged-out, which tells you to either login or just browse their fluffy web help labyrinth. Google told me to use terms@airbnb.com, which was how I ended up reaching support. Support was a dead-end though. They claim to do it, but they apparently do not actually delete the account.

3. Even if it would've been possible, they claim to want to "verify your identity for security purposes" prior to acting on your deletion request (which I could not do anyway, as the function was absent).

Hence, the GDPR method seems superior, given that it's actually available and they don't force you through an "identity verification", which is probably just there as additional friction to deter users from account deletion.
I’m overwhelmingly favourable towards Dart. While I picked it up for mobile (Flutter) dev, I’ve been slowly replacing a lot of scripting/backend work with it too.

It’s the ideal replacement for general purpose scripting and browser work IMO. I can’t recommend it enough.
Yet [] still has the same problem while you use [] for indexing:

fn a[T](_: T) -> &'static str { "type" }
struct b;
fn ambiguous() -> &'static str {
let a = [|_: b| "expression"];
let b = 0;
let c = b;
a[b](c) // "type" or "expression"?
}

So you very probably want to unify indexing and function-calling, which becomes very difficult for Rust because of the whole lvalue/rvalue situation.

Because manual implementation of the Fn traits is unstable and no generic implementations exist, I do actually think that this could technically be done (a new edition could go to [] for generics sans turbofish), but it covers a lot of other hazardous ground too (e.g. adding maybe-uninitialised reference types) so that it couldn’t be done for still some years, and I doubt very much that it ever will be (because I doubt many people think it would be worthwhile even if it was free to do, let alone when there’s major implementation cost).

I and a few others did try a bit to convince people to shift to square bracket generics in late 2013–mid‐2014, but failed. Certainly the language was in no shape to unify indexing and calling (the best I could come up with was to keep them separate for now, just using the same syntax with the compiler selecting between the mutually-exclusive implementations, with the potential for merging the two in future), so at that time it would probably have retained the turbofish, which didn’t help with convincing people of the superiority of square brackets (no compelling benefit—switching to something unfamiliar, and remember Rust’s weirdness budget was already about expended, without fixing what many felt was the biggest problem with angle brackets).
That is a critically important point. Their willingness to conflate entities that are distinct to other people gives them a broken worldview that is very hard to understand.
Note that the rank is not an official rank, it's just a list made by some company/"institute" nobody knows or cares about.
this is the real reason healthcare costs so much in the US. Clear anti-competitive and monopolistic practices by the hospital/health insurance complex. Obamacare did absolutely nothing about this one issue, other than essentially shifting the cost structures around. The billing is so ridiculous, it's comical. It literally makes no sense.. My son spent 10 days in the hospital a few months ago: total hospital bill 78K. I paid the max out-of-pocket for my Marketplace plan (about 6K). There is no way that the cost was actually 78K.. if it were, then there would be no hospitals, nor would there be any insurance companies. The economics wouldn't allow it. The only other explanation must be a concerted effort by these institutions to shield the actual costs so no one reviews all of the money changing hands behind the scenes. It also explains why these groups fought the Trump administration when it tried to mandate hospital pricing (I was no fan of Trump, but at least he, and the republicans tried). The market will never be able squeeze out these inefficiencies without government intervention.. there are too many moats already in place. It should be noted that specific hospitals/doctors will tell you how much something costs if you ask (and especially if you tell them that you have no health care). I spent a year without health care to discover this and it wasn't because I couldn't pay for it. It was just obvious to me that this was the most egregious example of state-sponsored fleecing of American citizens that I had ever seen.

I think you fundamentally misunderstand the nature of the conspiracy theorist mind. Observers for Trump still lied about fraud after being granted tons of audit/observation access.
First of all, you and the person you responded to are giving examples that covers wildly different types of interactions, so it's not "counter-evidence". It does provide additional evidence for a certain type of interactions, however.

With that said, there's a massive caveat here: This is based on simulations

For it to be generally applicable you also need to then demonstrate that this matched real-world observed behaviour. On its own it is not at all obvious whether or not this accurately reflects anything at all.

There are many possible confounding issues here. E.g. for starters a typical excuse in shootings is that the officers claim to have feared for their safety. You then need to account for whether or not the simulation accurate trigger the same fear, otherwise someone with a racial bias in what makes them scared in "real life" could be expected to act differently in a simulation where they know they're safe.

I don't know whether that is the case or not, but there are many enough possible issues like this that a simulation only allow us to draw very limited conclusions here without a far more complicated experiment. Without understanding why.

Fair warning, i only played a couple of hours and didn't advance the Tech Tree very far and i'm still on my first planet so take it with a grain of salt.

For me at least it is fun, i like the "gigantic" target of building the dyson sphere as an end game and i enjoy the constraints of building on a 3D Ball with limited space but you can wrap logistics around the equator etc.

In a comparison i would say it's not as fleshed out and not as polished but as i said, not a lot of playtime and its early access. But for me at least it scratches the same itch as Factorio.

So if you think about buying it read some Steam Reviews and watch a couple of Videos, but for me at least it was worth buying :)

> We want it to be profitable to make the stuff we want to consume so that we get better content than hobby/charity content.

We, huh? The most enriching content you've ever encountered on the web, was it churned out by the likes of about.com? The places you've had the most meaningful conversations, were they on platforms that regularly purge and actively censor content they deem not to be advertiser friendly? What you are describing sounds a lot more like network television to me. If you just want to zone out in front of the latest episode of "Dancing with the Stars", you already have that option.

I get the kneejerk assumption that if something even approaches the potential of being nostalgic, it must be the product of delusion. But that really isn't applicable here, as we all know the ways that technology and infrastructure has been twisted to benefit commercial interests at the expense of everyone else.
Thanks for the question. I do not know kotlin flow, it seems similar to RxJava. There are many differences, its a really good idea for an article. Some thoughts that strike me straighaway

Fluxtion is built to handle infinite streams, I cant tell are kotlin flows for processing batched data in a co-routine

Fluxtion is concerned with graph processing and handling multiple event types, is kotlin flow more focused on single pipeline?. A single Fluxtion processor has multiple paths that diverge and converge. The path is determined by the event type. Elements on the path are Fluxtion libraries or user functions. If you see https://github.com/v12technology/fluxtion-quickstart, input events are bytes(fluxtion generates a CSV parser) or SensorReading. The flow merges and applies grouping, windowing and filtering. The flow diverges and integrates a user function to perform an action.

There is no single output in a Fluxtion processor, any node can publish data or invoke user code, it operates like a network of conditional statements

Fluxtion actually serialises the graph as code, potentially ahead of time. Other event processing systems infer the behaviour at rumtime. If you are in a serverless environment where quick startup and short runs are cost effective this is very important. For the example above see - https://github.com/v12technology/fluxtion-quickstart/tree/ma.... The entry point is https://github.com/v12technology/fluxtion-quickstart/blob/ma...

When dealing with graphs it becomes very confusing to debug and fix problems, having code really does reduce the maintenance cost.

We are concerned with zero-cost abstraction, that is trying to use as few resources as possible when processing. We have an example here - http://fluxtion.com/solutions/high-performance-flight-analys.... This processes 30 million records a second with zero-gc, including soup-nuts processing

We support annotations for injecting dependencies. Each injected instance can inject dependencies etc. recursively. I think a kotlin flow requires the user to explicitly wire together all nodes. Fluxtion encourages re-use of graphs/sub-graphs. The Fluxtion compiler will then construct a processor that merges all the nodes and serialise a processor solution

Basically Fluxtion removes the need for the developer to solve all the complexities if some can be inferred. I have an article in progress about managing an FX portfolio where hedges are executed if the risk is too high in a currency. Its interesting as events handled are config, trades, control signals, Fx rates, there are stateful calculations and orders are pushed out. The execution graph is here https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gregv12/articles/master/20...

Fluxtion is not concerned with handling backpressure it handles events as fast as it can. The pipeline sending events to an event processor is expected to manage back pressure.

I hope this helps

As someone who’s parents thought it would be a better idea to give them “natural” medicine growing up and leading to a lot of unnecessary suffering, I disagree with the idea that the onus should be on the user to prove the validity of the medicine.

If a medicine kills someone, who should the responsibility fall on?

I believe there is a place for letting people do what they want to their bodies, but it should only be done if the user is well informed of the risks, and is in sound mind to make an decision.

Spotify relies on monopolizing your listening data. You should avoid it on the same premise. Delivering music is easy; their unique offering is the recommendation engine.

Germans will still get confused as it's not really common practice for a large part of Germany to refer to Berlin when referring to the government.

The reasons for this are many fold, including that the Berlin government is pretty bad and as such the city has monetary and other problem all the time.

Also in difference to e.g. the US the capital city has not the same kind of special position, besides some small area in it the rest of it is fully self governed by the city state in the same way e.g. Bavaria is self governed by it's local government.

Not if you don't store any personal data ("any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person" as per the GDPR). If you just provide pseudonym and message fields, you have no issue. This is in the spirit of "data minimisation".
