So when I mentioned the traditional benefits of OO, it didn't occur to you that polymorphism was one of them? Okay...

>private, unimplmented copy constructor and assignment operator

If you're using C++11 or better, then avoid doing that. In modern C++ you declare those as deleted.

>If I had to do your Cat example, I'd probably have Animal's copy constructor call a protected pure virtual clone() method.

This would do absolutely nothing and once again, despite you claiming to have 25 years of professional experience in C++, I must shake my head to even hear such a thing.

All I get from this conversation is that you have a very antiquated idea of how to use C++ and have not kept up to date with modern standards. You mention the rule of 3, which is a pre-C++11 idiom and superseded by the rule of 5 with the advent of move constructors (or the rule of 0). Yet despite this you felt it appropriate to claim that since you personally have never encountered any recent advancement in C++ in the past decade, that it must be me who is distorting the situation.

It could not possibly be the case that the C++ of today is much different from the C++ back in 1996 when you started using it, nor could it possibly be that using C++ for embedded development represents only a tiny subset of how C++ is used, or that maybe you just aren't familiar with something because no one is an expert in everything and we have to prioritize what we spend our time learning. No... the conclusion you chose to go with is that I'm distorting reality because you happen to lack any modern knowledge about a technology that you claim to have 25 years of experience with.

Hate to break it to you... but it's not the 90s anymore.
The article you linked is almost 6 months old and says absolutely nothing about recent events related to Substack and the calls for censoring certain writers. And where does it call Greenwald's "bullshit"?
They'll not necessarily bias you. But still, our main use case is sales & marketing roles. If someone can convince you to hire them through this process, it's also highly likely that they can convince your customers to buy your product
I worked in Orange County in college on a project to restore the White Sea Bass after the kelp forests were restored there. I really appreciated that experience in aquarium sciences and oceanography. I also liked seeing how much fisherman seemed onboard with the program.

I hope a network of volunteers in Northern California can have some success rebuilding the kelp ecosystem.

Mecha holds a really special place in my heart. From watching Filipino localizations of Voltes V, to watching Gundam and building Gunpla as a kid, to experiencing Evangelion for the first time as a teenager, I owe a lot of my interests and identity to mecha. It wouldn't be an understatement to say that my current pursuit of a PhD in robotics stems from my love of the genre.

While I don't think mecha will ever be on its way out, it is concerning that many of the recent works keeping the genre afloat are from established properties like Gundam and Evangelion. I can't think of any original series after TTGL (and, by extension, Pacific Rim) that really piqued my interest. It's a shame considering how dominant it used to be; Astro Boy was a prototype not just for the mecha genre, but for anime as a medium.
France tried to do exactly that, with the results mentioned in the article: massive subsidies, but future costs not covered by far.

So you would support Germany re-colonizing France like in 1938 to fix all the problems France has?

> also the only one who ended slavery

Incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_abolition_of_slave...

The abolition of slavery occurred at different times in different countries. It frequently occurred sequentially in more than one stage – for example, as abolition of the trade in slaves in a specific country, and then as abolition of slavery throughout empires. Each step was usually the result of a separate law or action. This timeline shows abolition laws or actions listed chronologically. It also covers the abolition of serfdom.

Although slavery is technically illegal in all countries today, the practice continues in many locations around the world, often with government support.
We're really early and have done very little marketing outside of blog posts this summer, but we do have some paying customers. Their use cases are varying, since Splitgraph can serve a number of different functions (data catalog, data lake/mesh, query proxying/caching, versioned data snapshots, etc.).

The common selling point across customers seems to be the integration of the access layer (Postgres proxy) and discovery layer (data catalog). Their data storage/access patterns are different. e.g. We have one who uses it as a data lake for periodically querying CSV files in a 20TB S3 bucket. But then another is more interested in the versioning features; they're building data images in Prefect workflows, tagging them with Semantic Versioning syntax, and pushing them to their Splitgraph deployment. For all of them, the discovery features of the catalog are important.

We still have a lot of work to do on the ACL / governance features, but we've had prospects specifically ask about them as priorities.

IMO, the best argument for our thesis is similar to GitLab's (unify the DevOps lifecycle). Even though GitLab didn't have the best-in-class version control or CI on their own, by offering them together they made it worth using GitLab. We want to unify the data stack by integrating the discovery, access and (optionally) storage layers. Even if each layer has some tradeoffs, the benefit of integrating them has a multiplicative effect on the platform itself.
> You misunderstand. NFTs grant you absolutely no rights to anything.

NFTs provide the right to whatever they control. If you buy a software license via NFT, it will unlock the software. You can prove this before buying.

NFTs to show you own art? Yeah, that's pretty basic, it's the equivalent of a paper receipt. If you'd pay more for print #1 then an equivalent NFT is no more wasteful.

> For instance, Jack Dorsey could delete that one tweet he sold an NFT against

Yeah, Jack is an idiot and so is his NFT. Not a surprise.

> As far as supporting artists goes, doesn't Patreon kind of already do this?

Yeah, but it takes a bigger cut.

> Plus, the middle-men always win on this with all the silly gas fees. I'd argue NFTs are extremely inefficient when those fees are taken into consideration.

Don't buy an NFT on an expensive blockchain then. Some have almost no transaction fees. Besides, you could just buy an off-chain cryptographically signed token of donation if you don't want the blockchain but want to be able to prove that your receipt is real.

The comment I'm replying to is discussing things like not flying or not using electricity. I'd describe forgoing modern comforts as primitive.

While infinite growth is obviously not possible I think we are a long way from the population that we could reasonably support on a still healthy planet if we had the technology to do so. I also think that in a hundred years or maybe a little less we'll start to get big opportunities for growth in space, both in the form of doing manufacturing off world and creating new population centers.
There is a large body of evidence and research available for systemic exploitation based on Jati and varna's and the legitimacy of it claimed through vedas and manusmriti. May be go through wikipedia and other research sites can find an evidence of this system coming from vedic age and than subsequently developed into more repressive schemes. [1] [2]

Your argument is that the conversation would have gone more smoothly had it been direct, but there's no way I would have been able to enumerate my position clearly without having a minute or two to think about it above, type it out, make it clear again, and then explain all my points of view.

So it's likely a direct conversation would have NOT been as smooth, because I wouldn't have been able to state my thoughts clearly all at once, trying to satisfy the immediate responses that direct, realtime voice calls require.

I have also found that by not taking immediate calls then I dont get those annoying, reactionary type phone calls of people asking me things they:

- Could have thought of themselves had they stayed inside their own head for a moment

- Could easily type into google and get a faster answer

- Stopped getting calls from those people that fill their calendars and days with pointless busy-work, convinced that they are productive because of the noise they generate.

- My friends can type basically as fast as they talk, so there's not really a speed issue, the only person that still voice calls me is my grandmother, because she's too blind to see the mini keyboard
Put more constructively, you need to have strongly negative carbon emissions at this point. Pick a carbon intensive company or industry, and work to reduce its emissions. Your individual CO2 emissions are rounding error.
So? You can buy "counterfeit" or "stolen" art at many galleries.

But if you care about the artist enough to want to donate I imagine you're more familiar with their work than all that.
We have minimal if any data about how many of the course corrections go well, precisely for that reason. However because we don’t know how many there are, it’s not accurate to claim to know it’s survivorship bias. It could be that, but it could not be. There’s not enough data to make a conclusion.

How much wealth creation - to people with access only in the public markets - could this company have created if it were publicly traded? The previous generation had great wealth building ability in being able to invest in companies that were growing rapidly in the public markets at a very early stage (think MSFT, INTC, etc.); today too much of this is done in a way that the vast majority of people cannot be part of.

There is a complete disconnect between regulations in the public and private markets. Regulations that make great companies like Stripe pause on going public need to be reassessed.

I believe the Canadian proposals so far have only been "guaranteed", not "universal" -- that is, the benefit will phase out as you earn more above a certain threshold. As the existing welfare, employment insurance, and student loan programs show, it's easy to introduce (accidentally or not) a "claw back" zone.

The Canadian government was very aggressive with cash transfers early in the pandemic ("$2000 CAD/month", during CERB).

I think that Trudeau has signaled quite clearly that they don't intend to go down this road, though. They phased out CERB in favor of (mostly) wage subsidies to businesses. There's a bit more UBI talk from opposition party members than before, but I don't think we're yet at the point of a committee or a pilot actually happening.

This is insane. Right now I agree with AstraZeneca.

"Around 17 million people in the EU and UK have now received our vaccine, and the number of cases of blood clots reported in this group is lower than the hundreds of cases that would be expected among the general population," said Ann Taylor, the firm's chief medical officer.
"The nature of the pandemic has led to increased attention in individual cases and we are going beyond the standard practices for safety monitoring of licensed medicines in reporting vaccine events, to ensure public safety."
> English speakers have invented plenty of derogatory epithets for people who expose extreme political correctness: libtard, SJW (Social Justice Warrior), woke etc. There's probably many more, but I don't really follow that world closely.

It's pretty interesting that a foreign culture would coin a term for something like that, though. I wonder if this is term that's mainly used by international students.
That likelihood has a silver lining: it will be accelerating the transition away from fossil fuel-powered cars.
>I've found that, to keep a balanced diet without meat, it's quite a bit more expensive, and exceptionally more time consuming.

I’d be interested in what you consider “balanced”. I’ve found that when my diet is almost exclusively plants my grocery bill was nearly halved. I’ve even found it’s cheaper to by from higher end organic grocery stores than Walmart supercenters when I exclude meat. The scales tip the other way when I buy processed or boxed vegetarian/vegan food.
The reasoning behind the rejection [0] seems quite thought out, and took some time and discussion in coming.

> Violation of foundational rights cannot be justified by some crude imagination of freedom, that argument doesn't hold. Quoting the German constitution, Art. 2 (1): "Every person shall have the right to free development of his personality insofar as he does not violate the rights of others [...].". The contents violate other people's rights quite obviously and repeatedly. Such a platform shall never receive any attention through our app.

Not every country has the broad definition of freedom of speech that the US has.

It shouldn't be an _expectation_ that the developers would attempt to subvert their own laws to satisfy a loud minority. (Refer back to emphasis before taking issue with this particular sentence.)

Nope, "units of work" is features delivered, bugs fixed, new people trained and so on.

As the parent commenter said, if you can do it in 2-3 hours per day -- this is great and you are getting benefits of being exempt.

Of course sometimes people pay you like you are exempt, but expect you to be present for 40 hours anyway like you are hourly -- and in this case, being exempt is a scam as the article said. But while common, this is far from universal.

5. TINA's revenge. Years of anemic interest rates have forced more and more money into the stock market, real estate, and crypto. This made some investors very wealthy, but also very aware they're sitting on a bubble.

How do you shield your gains when every traditional asset is either losing to inflation or looks like a bubble? You start reaching out for non-traditional assets.

NFTs have some marketable aspects for someone looking for an alternative investment vehicle. They're self-contained and require no real ongoing costs to just hold and flip later (compared with, say, opening a McDonald's franchise). They're also fresh and new with the promise of getting in on the ground floor of future exponential growth (as opposed to, say, buying an existing Van Gogh or a bag full of Krugerrands).

Now, in no way does this make them not bullshit (what ownership is actually conveyed? Do you now even own the copyright on the work, so you could monetize it later?) but that might be why it looks briefly compelling.
Driving sales in a B2B Business Intelligence consultancy startup
Hello everyone!

I am the cofounder and CTO of Merovingian Data (www.merovingiandata.com). We are a Business Intelligence consultancy startup that helps organizations in their data-driven transformation.

Quick summary of the products/services we offer:

-Data assessment: We deliver a roadmap to transform an organization into a data-driven-organization.
-We develop dashboards and Machine-Learning algorithms to meet the needs of our clients.
-We position as the Analytics department of established organizations.

Our customers are the leaders and decision-making members of organizations (we are B2B).

Our solutions allow them to take smarter decisions through data. Our differentiated value proposition consists of the flexibility of our solutions, trying to attend each unique client needs. Also, we are cheap compared to consultancy companies offering similar services.

Today, we are working mainly in the Argentinian market. We have been helping business and people from the medical, retail, finance and energy sectors to gain valuable insights and let them take better decisions through our tools based on AI and Data Science.

Most of the time, is hard for us to make people understand the value we create. All our clients have seen a tangible proof of this (in terms of revenue increase, new business opportunities, etc.). We need to make more people see the value we can add to their business.

What do you think would be the best way to drive more sales? How would you offer our services in other markets more attractive for us money-wise speaking (like the US)?

Thank you!

Given that some amount of alternate vaccines are available, governments are doing the right thing by "deferring" deployment of this vaccine for a short while, because this move has the highest chance avoiding direct harm to people from medicine (which is often perceived worse than harm that would have befallen people without medicine) and highest chance of avoiding an increase of brand-agnostic vaccine mistrust from the public.

If in the near future, public mistrust about this brand of vaccine climbs higher but confidence in other vaccines does not drop as much, then governments will benefit from having deferred deployment of this vaccine, and they may benefit further by suspending deployment of this vaccine entirely, even if the vaccine is entirely vindicated to be safe.

This outcome would be unfair for the manufacturer, but it would sacrifice this brand to preserve public trust. Public trust is a key factor in healthcare policy in societies where some healthcare participation is voluntary and elections can significantly influence policy priorities.
