It's not the "greater fool" theory. It's more like language. A new word doesn't have to have a real connection to its meaning. The word "cat" isn't structured like a cat, and when spoken aloud doesn't sound like one either. But we still like to be able to refer to cats without pointing, so we agree on something inherently meaningless and tie to to that.

Fiat currency is the same way. Rather than point a giant network of contracts together in order to create some monster transaction that satisfies a few hundred people evenly, we just agree to respect the unique-but-valueless papers produced by the crazy guy who will imprison anybody who tries to produce those same papers. It didn't have to be these papers; it didn't have to be bitcoin. It just had to be something that had the necessary properties: unique, scarce, lightweight, secure, and, most importantly, used by as many other people as possible.
>Sorry, but there's no way I will ever believe it's just a crazy fluke that given the broad spectrum of political beliefs in the US, two parties each have roughly 49% of public support in terms of issues and voting power for decades on end, and that they regularly swap positions of power every few years.

~50/50 party split is one of three natural equilibrium points of a first-past-the-post election heirarchy. If I'm a party manager allocating resources (or platform positions) to win elections in that system I would be a fool (and get fired) if I overspent to get 60% of the vote when 51% would do the trick (and I/my organization could potentially use the rest of those resources to get over the margin in a different race).

At the same time, a party that is losing and can't raise more money to spend in a race will naturally shift their positions to appeal to a larger number of people to gain margin that way. In the long and wide term, things will tend to balance there (absent structural reform or the collapse of one party or the other).

>The US is the only developed nation where you have no hope of getting elected to political office at _any_ level of government unless you pledge to align yourself with either Red Team or Blue Team.

It could be worse: in some developed countries you can't get elected unless you align with the single party.

There’s def. ways to write really good tests as well to avoid the limited input issue - write the test in a property-based test manner, like haskell’s quickcheck, and the test can catch entire classes of bugs.

The caps vs. no caps issue would be easily caught using randomString() as the test case.
That's an interesting point, especially since V8 is already used for running multiple applications that need to be sandboxed from each other. It would probably be a big effort though, and to get any real benefit from it, applications would actually have to start switching to a different fork of electron. But I often have multiple electron applications running at once so this would be pretty nice.

WhatsApp users who in 2016 opted out of sharing data with third parties are now being asked by Facebook to either accept a privacy policy that states their metadata can be shared with third parties or stop chatting with friends and family through their app.

A poster bellow in this thread quoted a Wired article where some FB representative says they will "honor" the opt-out, yet this is not stated anywhere in the privacy policy as far as I can tell. I think it would be trivial for Facebook to make this clear in their new policy.
Price controls absolutely affect the labor market. Whether or not a market has perfect demand and supply curves does not render them immune to price controls. It's why many white dominated communities passed minimum wages long ago, to keep blacks out of the workforce and from competing with white labor. They knew the implications of minimum wages, and wanted that result.

In fact, prior to the federal minimum wage passing in the 1930s, blacks had a higher employment rate than whites. After the law passed, the employment level among african americans was destroyed. It still hasn't recovered.

Minimum wage laws in the US are literally a very clear example of codified systemic racism and it's shocking how many people relentlessly support them.

If we want low skill workers to take home more pay, subsidize their wages.

I would recommend reviewing my prior comments on this, as I address the concerns of multiple nodes needing to be able to independently produce identities without collisions or coordination.

If you know beforehand the maximum number of participants in your system, you can divide the keyspace across that quantity. If you are using BigInteger or equivalent, you have an infinite number of these things to work with, so it doesnt really matter if you wind up skipping trillions of identities at first. The original article even advocates for this as its first point, but without as much practical justification.
This sounds like a case of "premature optimization is the root of all evil." Do you have any performance numbers that show UUIDs being any noticeably slower?

A UUID is only the size of two 64-bit integers anyway. And either identifier likely will be a tiny fraction of the data in a particular row. So I'd doubt this is any real performance problem in the vast majority of applications.

UUIDs look big and scary in hex notation, but underneath it's a compact and fast binary format, just a 128-bit integer.

We either view Ongwen as an morally culpable human who is capable of making moral choices (certainly by the time he reached adulthood) and hold him responsible for those choices, and likely lock him away for many, many years as punishment for the horrible choices he made.

The other way is that we view him as so broken by his childhood trauma that he has had no moral capacity, even in his adulthood. If that is the case, he still needs to be locked away for many years, because someone with that level of brokenness is not safe human society.

This is similar to what Plotly did with their Kaleido project[1] that generates static images of plotly.js visualizations. Instead of using Electron or Selenium, they recompiled Chromium, stripping away a bunch of the parts they didn't need. This resulted in a cross-platform build that is much lighter weight.

> The goal of the Kaleido project is to make static image export of web-based visualization libraries as universally available and reliable as it is in matplotlib and ggplot2.

> To accomplish this goal, Kaleido introduces a new approach. The core of Kaleido is a standalone C++ application that embeds the open-source Chromium browser as a library. This architecture allows Kaleido to communicate with the Chromium browser engine using the C++ API rather than requiring a local network connection. A thin Python wrapper runs the Kaleido C++ application as a subprocess and communicates with it by writing image export requests to standard-in and retrieving results by reading from standard-out.

> By compiling Chromium as a library, we have a degree of control over what is included in the Chromium build. In particular, on Linux we can build Chromium in headless mode which eliminates a large number of runtime dependencies, including the audio, video, GUI toolkit, screensaver, and X11 dependencies mentioned above. The remaining dependencies can then be bundled with the library, making it possible to run Kaleido in minimal Linux environments with no additional dependencies required. In this way, Kaleido can be distributed as a self-contained library that plays a similar role to a matplotlib backend.

I haven't used this in production as something like this gets a bit out of hand once you need to manage more then like 5 machines. However, for home setups or a very small office, this works great. I've used it on and off for years for my home servers. Its really nice to just be able to restart a service without having to whip out a ssh client, just log into a webpage on your phone and you can fully manage your server.
In the United States, many local bar associations operate free referral services. You call a phone number (or go to their website), outline generally what the legal issue is, and maybe what your budget is, and they will try to find you a lawyer (or lawyers) who are willing to talk to you.

Argument against debundling is that runtime update could break your app in some way.

The problem with creating a dichotomy between "monolith" and "microservices" is that... well... it doesn't make any sense. You describe your "microservices" and I'll explain how it's really just a monolith.

"So let me get this straight, you have a Billing package and an Ordering package. How are these organized again?"

-> "We have a distributed system."

"So you you compile them together and deploy them horizontally across many machines? Like a distributed monolith?"

-> "No we use microservices. The two packages are compiled and deployed separately so there is no code dependencies between them."

"Okay. So if I understand this right, you develop each package separately but they both access the same database?"

-> "No no no no! Microservices are not just about code dependency management, they are also about data ownership. Each package is developed and deployed separately and also manages it own database."

"Ah, so you have two monoliths?"

-> "..."

You see the problem is that the above terms are too broad to describe anything meaningful about a system. And usually "monolith" is used to described the dependencies between code whereas "microservices" is used to describe dependencies about data. It turns out there is a lot of overlap.

Design and implement your systems according to your use-case and stop worrying about how to label them.

This one really hit home. I went to the DMV a few months ago for the first time in over a decade to upgrade my drivers license to a Real ID (must be done in person, previous renewals were done by mail). The entire process was unchanged from when I first got my license almost 30 years ago.

Stand in one line to check in. Sit down. Wait for your name to be called to stand in a second line to have them manually keypunch the paper form you have to fill out into their computer system. Sit down. Wait for your name to be called to stand in a third line to get your picture taken. Sit down. Wait for your name to be called to stand in a fourth line to pay (slight change here in that they now accept credit cards, up until a few years ago it was cash or checks only). Sit down. Wait for your name to be called to stand in a fifth line to pick up your new license. Leave after several hours.

The tell for this is that the term "white people" is used almost exclusively in discussions of race rather than culture, because "white people" are an internally diverse group without a unified culture.

You can find the individual subcultures all over the place in Irish pubs and Polish clubs and so on, where you can go and find people immersed in that subculture and not really expect to find a lot of Actual Nazis.

But if you go to a place that calls itself "white people" when that term only really gets used for race, what do you expect to find?

It's kind of a stupid idea for anti-racists to even keep using the term, given that the group has no identity outside of defunct 20th century pseudoscience notions of race and preserving and promoting the idea of it as any kind of coherent group is only fortifying tribalist lines we should instead be trying to dissolve.
