Congress was able to convene immediately after the nuts stormed the Capitol inside the Capitol. Minor physical damage was committed. Compare that to the BLM marches and the nuts that rioted, burned, and seized city blocks, freeways, police precincts, harassed people in restaurants with bullhorns, drank from their cups, ate their food, etc.

You’re talking to a far gone political extremist who literally wants to murder those who don’t agree with his insane agenda.

It’s stupid to expect him to be honest, or to speak with integrity.
>This still seems to be theft of interest.

Forget "theft of interest", it's just plain theft. A thief doesn't get to apologize, give back what they stole, and then walk away. If you or I committed theft on this scale we'd be in prison for decades.

Parler was poor quality because it was a product of extreme political grift. People who work in politics unfortunately don't understand the mindset of actually high quality products or services. What they're interested in is quick and loud splashes to attract a huge amount of attention, pull in a bunch of capital/resources, and then underdeliver in the extreme in the hopes that the attention of the crowd will move on and ignore the failures.

This is of course a bipartisan trend, but as far as I can tell affects Republicans more.

It was absurdly poorly run--literally on Wordpress with very little security and obviously no bug bounty program. They probably have never even heard of the concept of a bug bounty.

All around disappointing. The next iteration, if it is to work at all, will require a complete mindset switch.
I concur, this can easily be seen as burning bridges with the dev community (which is of course a terrible idea when your product primarily interfaces with developers).

To get back to the topic of the thread, I do not think it is a rigid monoculture. In this sense, I agree with you. I see it more as a spectrum. I don't think that you will be cancelled wherever you go, either, merely that it will be much more difficult to strike up a debate or to keep it going. People tend to just glaze over and change the topic to something more fun or pretend-taboo, but not much more than that. If you do decide to test it out, I don't predict that anything remarkable will happen beyond an awkward lull in the conversation.

My entire point is that I was surprised because of all the beliefs you mentioned having tested out in a social setting, all seemed to sit squarely within that spectrum (distancing from other classes, technocratic solutions to social ills, desire to bypass the government... etc.). Some examples of ideas that would probably be less well received:
- Far-left principles involving redistribution of tech worker capital
- Explicit racism instead of the condescending or implied version
- Anything to do with reversing gentrification or having poor people move next to their homes

Basically anything that would upset someone who is both socially liberal on the surface but has a discreet cynical side and a strong material incentive to keep the status quo going. In other words, a neoliberal. Beyond that, there's not much else I was looking to add or test out.
> Incentivize doing your job

Surely keeping your job is a good incentive to do your job?

People are still willing to pay the same amount of currency for the same product and service.

I don't find "this system is good because it enables tax fraud" to be a strong argument.

Find every bottleneck and immediately fly out to the next company.

I set up my own rss server using Fresh RSS; got it running in a docker environment on my kubernetes cluster (buzzword bingo). I was an avid google reader fan but only came back to RSS when I abandoned Facebook, Reddit and slowly off Twitter. I don't follow feeds that don't give me the full RSS content (quickly unsubscribe). It's really brought back a joy to reading and I avoid doom scrolling; wonderful really. Oh and there's plenty of open source apps that interact with Fresh RSS, really a great tool.

I think you're taking an overly negative tone with someone who appears to agree with you.

GGP: It's a bad choice, but it saved a bunch of money.

GP: I don't think it even saved much money, percentage wise, did it?

And then your reply takes a very negative tone, as if the GP is suggesting that some amount of cost savings would have justified it. The GP is not suggesting that some amount of cost savings justifies what was done.

well, a lot of "system" utilities are implemented in Python and I'm not aware of many in Ruby (they must exist? I just checked to see what on my system depends on Ruby and it seems like the only things are a screenruler utility, some texlive packages I've never heard of and gnome-code-assistance, whatever that is).

Yes, it could be as simple as having Dev-C++ run a build every time a file is saved. Currently it does not do this. Remember, Dev-C++ didn't have -j support at all until I added it. TwineCompile does do this (background compile). Therefore the IDE is providing this functionality and has nothing really do to with make or the compiler.

TwineCompile is not a plugin wrapping the -j flag. It is a separate thing entirely unique to C++Builder. It does offer integration with MSBuild though.

The second part of that was the fall off. With the 1 million size files it only ever used half of the cores and each successive round of core compiles it would use even less cores. TwineCompile didn't seem to have that problem but this post was not about TwineCompile vs. MAKE -j so I did not investigate this farther.

I was expecting MAKE/GCC to blow me away and use all 64 cores full bore until complete and it did not do this.
Nothing is free however.

If advertisers can't violate one's privacy, that simply means they will pay less to the websites one uses, and that will lead to its quality deteriorating, or even more extreme content filters to appease advertisers and remain afloat.

But they're apparently already getting paid that much! Either people are drastically misrepresenting how much waitstaff take home in tips, or there's enough money in the economy to pay them that much.

Wage theft comprises, by some estimates, about 75% of all theft in the United States each year[1]. A brief perusal of television news or newspapers in any city in this country will make it immediately apparent that the crime that corporate media likes to focus on is very much not wage theft.

I don’t think you’ve worked a job where you got tipped, have you?

It’s actually one of the few ways people can make a lot of money for doing a good job. What you describe punishes hard work, the people getting tips would hate it.

Is that not essentially the definition of fraud though? That they’re being forced to pay it back seems like their “interpretation” here was dead off — they lost the case, right?
Fun, I remember that one of my colleagues at a previous startup had a @monkey.org email address. Went to check his LinkedIn and sure enough it says "founder at monkey.org". I'm surprised I remember this, it was 5 years ago. Guess the monkey.org domain is quite memorable indeed. If you're reading this, hi Dave!
IME it’s not “no customer service” as much as “less customer service” in many of the non-tip places. The staff checks on you less often and you sometimes have to actively flag them down or end up waiting for quite a while.

For an American who is used to the standard “Drink? —> Order —> Refill —> How’s everything? —> Refill —> Anything else? Dessert? Just the check?” cadence to dining it is strange and may seem like the service is more rude, though I’ve heard from folks unfamiliar with the American style that it’s overbearing, high pressure, and feels like you’re being hustled through the dining process.
I'm kind of intrigued by the opposite idea: extend the system of tips to everything. I'd gladly add a tip to many things I buy if I knew that it would go entirely to the workers and not one penny would go to the owners, managers, or executives.

Tips are a kind of direct income redistribution. If I think someone deserves more money, I can directly give it to them. There's no middleman, no politics, and no stigma about charity.

I thought what the Internet stood for died when the Internet became more about the Web than vice versa.

RSS should have just been mailing lists. Mail is a much better protocol than HTTP + RSS. Think about it. Store-and-forward subscription-based eventful push messaging with a simple extensible protocol that has been around forever and is supported by everything. Or hell: NNTP! A protocol literally designed for subscription to syndicated news feeds!

Yet they landed on a pull-based, client-server, new complex protocol that didn't work with anything else, because for some reason web browsers can't deal with a protocol that's not running on port 80.

The internet will truly be reborn when we have a network layer that finally doesn't enforce limitations on the kind of traffic that can pass between any of its hosts. It will eventually happen. (It has to; we literally can't build all network technology for the rest of eternity on a single transport protocol using a single TCP/IP port) But hopefully I'm not dead before then.
> we refused to risk any individual life in order to potentially save hundreds of thousands or more.

The concern wasn't Trolley problem[1] paralysis, where authorities are afraid to deliberately shift harm to a minority to protect a majority. The concern was vaccine-associated disease enhancement (VADE), which could possibly cause more overall harm and deaths than simply doing nothing at all. It's a significant and legitimate concern because not only has it happened before with released vaccines, it has been a particular problem in SARS vaccine research and trials for 20 years. See "Learning from the past: development of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines", https://www.nature.com/articles/s41579-020-00462-y

We had complete candidate vaccines mere days into the outbreak, but nobody was sure they were safe because they were just the latest iterations in long lines of similar candidate vaccines, all eventually failing. They couldn't rush trials too quickly because VADE situations might not become apparent without a large pool tracked over an extended period of time so that you can see what happens with reinfections, etc.

We got lucky. It seems to be the case that we had just recently turned the corner in resolving many of these barriers. If were were facing COVID-10 (i.e. a SARS pandemic in 2010), we'd be screwed because in 2010 we were much further away from figuring out how to avoid VADE-like failures in SARS vaccines.

Thanks for sharing! You might have more experience than I do in this sector, I've mostly written tests for tools/projects I've owned for a number of years and that might be why it appears more self-documenting to me. I try to write tests that are relatively clean. By contrast I've also had to maintain Confluence wikis as documentation and I've found it much more difficult, same with versioned Markdown documents and the like. Auto-generated documentation might be a sweet spot, though I don't have experience on that front yet.

I think regexes may have a steep learning curve, but IMHO it's well-worth the effort in order to learn. Pythex is pretty great at learning regexes and once you learn them you have a pretty powerful tool at your disposal for a number of matters.

It's not a stretch at all. It's an offhand comment being compared to a months-long disinformation campaign. Frankly, I was generous.

I think this kind of service is actually harmful to content providers. They can not benefit from the content they created if readers always consume it on the RSS readers. That's one of the reasons many blogger/website don't provide RSS feeds anymore.

The RSS aggregators should encourage readers to go to the original website. So when I got the chance to build my own RSS reader(https://feeds.pub) I only shows a title and link of an article to readers to drive them to the original website.

I use Ubuntu as my only operating system, yes, on both the desktop and on servers.

There really is nothing special about my workflow, though, I just keep Feedbin open in the browser and check it throughout the day, acting when necessary[1]. I am currently subscribed to 182 feeds, so I spend a considerable amount of time reading and acting on what I read.

The most "unusual" piece of the workflow is probably YouTube, since I watch without access their website. When a new video is posted, Feedbin notifies me and I copy the URL of the video from inside the application. I then paste that on a terminal to feed mpv or youtube-dl depending on when I want to watch it, and move on. Since I use a tilling window manager and the browser I use for day to day use is on a workspace where an empty terminal window is always open next to it, everything happens faster than it probably reads from my larger than it should description.

[1] Acting means either reading an article, notifying customers, or testing and updating servers based on releases and vulnerabilities in this context.
What blocks you from spending time on important things? Chances are it's not knowledge of how you spend your time, but a lack of energy, will, motivation or any other relevant feeling. Even if time is technically the most important resource, it's energy that is the limit in almost every case. These productivity apps just add friction and give you the illusion of gaining control. Or like website blockers they leave you vulnerable to a change of context by failing to address the root cause of going for distractions.

Just the fact that the productivity market is an entire self-sustaining industry should be a hint that there is a fundamental problem there.

> A borrower who defaults will have the lender come after him not just for the principal, but also for the accrued interest, with the full support of the law.

You have a very narrow understanding of loans. In fact, creditors lose money on loans all the time. Borrowers routinely escape paying out the entirety of their loans.

You logic is that because allah declares it so, then it must be true. It really is as simple as charging a fee for borrowing an asset. In the case of a cash loan, the asset is cash. You can perform all the mental gymnastics you want, but renting out a car or a property or capital is really all the same principle. You have drawn a silly distinction for equity based on your religion.

All the Islamic financial institutions still charge interest. They just use different names.
