It is only my personal opinion but I find the f-strings to be conceptually bad:

It might be a little bit easier to writer, but now you have magic and also code that is mixed within what should be simple strings. It is so easy to have suprising bad side effects because some operation would have been hidden in strings.

I think 'cute' is probably a good word - amongst other reasons to visit London, a portion of tourists want to take photos with the silly people with tall red hats, see Buckingham palace and then buy a mug with a photo of the queen on it. People crowd the streets to see if the silly old smiley rich lady will wave at you from her golden carriage. People listen to the queens speech not because they look at her as a tyrannical dictator, but usually because it gives some of the population the warm fuzzies.

I'm not saying that's worth more than a fully functioning democracy, or that they couldn't monetise themselves, but I think this is what OP is referring to. Something can be both 'cute' and an ugly business.

Oh my goodness kbenson - we had this identical conversation 7 years ago on HN. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7869603
Good. People are seeing this as a modi vs protester issue, but there is a far more bigger threat to democracy here.

Twitter as a company has no business in deciding which govt order it's going to follow.

A private company has no business in deciding what free speech is and what amounts to reasonable restrictions on it.

Sovereign powers should be safeguarded from usurpation by non constitutional elements. Not doing that is a dangerous path for a country, which we already went through with the British east india company , though the issue then was trading rights and right to tax people and keep armies, not free speech.

However if you feel that a particular order is wrong, then you need to approach the court or protest against the government , vote them out .

> I would be willing to bet most would give you a reasonably rational, well-articulated answer (that you may happen to disagree with).

I'm from the American South and formerly Catholic. In my experience your description would be true of average religions but not the religious fundamentalist crowd. Some reading: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_fundamentalism

Fundamentalists believe firmly in the idea of "faith", which is to accept all teachings from the Bible as truth and nothing else. They cannot be persuaded, they cannot be reasoned with. If you'd asked a fundamentalist questions about creationism as it relates to Higgs-Boson you would not get anything rational in response. Likewise, it would be foolish for you to expect anything different because their beliefs are pretty much open for observation.

> The other problem with this particular statement is that statistics show that lots of Christians stop being Christians

This is only a very recent development (Source: https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/17/in-u-s-decline-of-christ...) but you're presenting it as longstanding tradition. In reality, up until 2007 religion was continuing to add to their masses.
Show HN: Machine Learning Pipelines with Integrations
I think so too. There have been studies that show that more attractive politicians get more votes (just for being more attractive), also attractive people get better jobs/wages. I'd even wager that Trump wouldn't have been president if he would look his age (or had less hair). Same analogy would definitely apply to Musk. There is an inherent quality to looks that hasn't been erased by us being more sophisticated than ever. As much as it's unfair.

I think what the other commenter was trying to say was not that it would be impossible to do so, but that it would not be "right", so to speak.

While you could of course exile them like other countries have done in the past, why would you do that? What reasoning would you use to justify exiling them, striping them of their personal property etc. ?

Abolishing the monarchy is one thing, it can be justified pretty easily, the interests of the people. Anything beyond that however would be punishment, what have they done that is currently illegal that warrants that punishment? Punishing them simply "because they are royals" doesn't really work out, that isn't illegal after all.

Technically just abolishing the monarchy / taking away their powers would suffice.

Not to derail, but I think you're correct in labeling North Korea as a monarchy. It's hereditary. Veneration of current and past leadership is at a level that might have embarassed the Sun King. The internal palace conflicts are practically identical to what monarchies in the past used to endure. They even go as far as to have a variation of "divine right" justified by the Juche ideology.

A Crusader Kings mod that would focus on the internal & external struggles of a cloistered totalitarian regime, like North Korea, would be very interesting.

I don't think it's good to make smaller holders' copyright expire more quickly than bigger holders'.

And the most effective way to get copyright to expire on bigger holders is to set a fixed time limit.

I dislike the idea of having "most" copyright expire quickly while the rest doesn't, because longer copyright is going to disproportionately be on big works owned by big holders. I don't think you should have that as a goal at all.

So I think you should just go with a fixed time limit. Like the original 28 years.

And a mechanism to avoid abandonment is a good idea, but make it fair to everyone.

You definitely need grounds to exile them / strip their wealth.

Taking away their political powers / their status as royals is one thing, but exiling someone is punishment. You can't just hand out punishment for no good reason.

If they commited crimes that were illegal at the time they were commited they should stand trial for that, but I very much doubt any of those are serious enough to warrant exile.

Absolutely garbage interpretation in that headline. Yes, the news tab gets shifted over to to a dropdown menu, I can confirm this (Seattle Area for what it's worth). I can also confirm that the first 2 things I see after searching "Timnit Gebru": A big block of their personal Twitter feed and then "Top Stories" the first two of which are "The Firing Of AI Ethics Researcher Timnit Gebru Sparks More Resigning At Google", and "Two Google engineers resign over firing of AI ethics researcher Timnit Gebru", followed by a "View All" button that links straight to google news.

I'm not a US citizen but I do feel there is something generally wrong with the policing there and a need for universal improvement that aligns the police closer to the citizens.
Ugh, this isn't funny in the least bit, and it's just an extension of this apathy towards our society and the other people in it. This is an extreme version of people lying about their pet's support animal status.

The police are supposed to defend the law. When you see a uniformed officer, on duty, behind the desk AND on camera, use what he KNOWS to be a cheap abuse of the intent of one law in order to break some other law, you should be really sad about where we've landed as a country.

Shouldn't this officer be helping the man behind the camera?
It is important to note that these "monarchial disposals" as you call them were used to get rid of monarchs that abused their powers, led their nation into wars, commited horrendus crimes, etc.

While you can take away their powers pretty easily via a law everything else, such as striping their wealth, would be punishment that needs to be justified. The Queen hasn't started any wars or genocides as far as I am aware, so how would you justify this punishment?

Her being a royal is completely legal after all!

If you aren't streaming you have no responsibility to safe guard the copyright for someone who does, it isn't a copyright violation until someone publishes it, and that copyright violation is on the publisher.

He knowingly played music, the person live streaming knowing streamed it to those viewers.

What's interesting is that Instagram seems to be taking a really liberal approach to DMCA, and I'm guessing if they get an official take down notice, those video will come down, or at least be muted.

What would be really interesting is to see someone build an application that will mute, just the parts of the audio that are copyrighted, and try to isolate, the speakers audio.

Most of that script is actually for loading, playback and keyboard/mouse controls. The salient bit is loop() function on lines 152 to 233.

It loops around an array of 48 (hand-drawn?!) images, using 4 images at any given time. The images and the base scale factor are based on an incrementing 'z_position' value. It copies each of of the four images in to an HTML5 canvas so the outer 25% is a straight up copy of one image, then 50-75% is 0.5 scale copy of another image, then 25-50% is a third image at 0.25 scale, and the centre 25% is the fourth image at 0.125 scale. All the effects are CSS filters applied to the canvas element.

It's surprisingly simple for such a cool effect.
Stripping the Monarchy of their lands goes quite a bit further than just abolishing the monarchy. Removing the right to rule a county is one thing. Stripping a wealthy family from all their holdings seems to go a bit too far by any measure in a civilized society that values the concept of personal property.

> If they cannot meet this price, they mine less, and fewer BTC are produced.

This is a misunderstanding of how BTC are mined - network difficulty will adjust so the same amount of BTC are produced.

Mining economics are also the opposite way around - mining difficulty increases until roughly the cost of electricity utilised to generate a bitcoin plus participation to the cost of the ASIC miner plus some small amount of profit = approximately the bitcoin price. These economics are the reason that bitcoins require so much energy to produce - as the cost of bitcoins go up, so does the amount of electricity required to make them. Note that this is true in the long run, but not necessarily true in the short run, as it takes time to ramp up the number of miners.

I don't actually agree at all with the linked article - it starts with the premise of past returns approximate future returns, and fails to explain any fundamentals behind the asset. Then it just draws a logarithmic line, which has no end to it, so in this model bitcoin becomes more valuable than everything in the world pretty quickly, and then still proceeds to become infinitely valuable, which is obviously a nonsense. It still doesn't get away with the fact it's a zero sum game for everyone except the miners.

You cannot divorce Syria's situation from regional geopolitics. Simplifying it to not bribing Assad enough is a complete fantasy. Ultimately most of the problems stem from the hard realpolitik fact that the Syrian state have little military power to wield against significant adversaries. Their newfound alliance with Russia may be useful against rebels and terrorists and negating the meddling of the French and US, but it gets problematic when it comes to defending against Russian interests like Turkey and Israel. Syria is being carved up right now and no amount of bribing would help. Take a look at Kashmir if you want a better example of how to properly put down a protest.
And way less motion sickness
Considering the loose political funding and lobbying regulations in the US (etc.), both de jure and certainly de facto, the wealthy seem to purchase political power on key issues that benefit them. This isn't the same as the power in a constitutional monarch, but in aggregate it may actually be worse than one.
Let’s talk about the collective insanity of economic value based on debt. Figuratively a system where you steal from the future, and cannot ever really escape — the debt is just passed on to the next. By design you cannot get off this merry go round without inflating your currency, so debts can be paid with interest. In fact, debt as a value extraction is IMHo more unethical than any perceived “energy usage” arguments against PoW.

Bitcoin is opting out of this debt system. Hard digital money, like the world has never seen before. Fixed emission, regardless of energy usage or transaction usage. I prefer this kind of crazy.

see my post above to understand why I think you need to adjust your definition of Reality. There are entire swaths of society (especially when you get to the under-25 demographic - which I am most certainly _NOT_ a part of) that grew up on Digital, not Physical.

Sincere question, are you old enough to have grown up in an era where, as kids, we coveted cool baseball cards? That industry died some time in my early 20s (I'm well over 30 right now) and that's part of what led me to shift digital.

The real key is that there are a huge quantity of people who care about digital goods more than physical.

The one thing I think you've got quite wrong is about "shitcoin platforms". That just doesn't really apply to NFTs as broadly as you've used it. There are a load of validated, good NFT products, and there are heaps more that are total shit. I would say that painting the entire ecosystem of NFTs as "shitcoin platforms" represents a major blind spot in your evaluation.

Should this be extended to all families with significant hereditary wealth? Or just the royal family directly?
FYI there was a proposal for a "Haskell 2021 Language" Extensions (similar to Haskell 98 and 2010), which was approved. This enables a bunch of extensions (and I guess will become default): https://github.com/ghc-proposals/ghc-proposals/blob/master/p...

That being said, while there are alternative preludes, I'm not sure how or when (or ever) the current prelude will be changed or replaced.

In terms of language evolution, the community seems to focus on further extensions of the Type System (linear types, quicklook impredicativity, dependent types), where I think there is a bigger need in better tooling. Of course, there too, lots of things are happening, like haskell-language-server, ghc-debug etc. etc.
But still lots of work to do. Would be great if more people worked on modern tooling and improving GHC. And even better if more companies would fund that =)
