I’m sorry but you are just flat incorrect about this and the stakes are so high that being wrong about it in the way that you are wrong (conflating intolerance of fascism with demagogy) is deeply unacceptable and amounts to tacit support for a superseding attack on general democracy.

Remaining uncompromising in the constant pointing out that racism and fascism (which is what humanizing defense of Trump is equivalent to) are shamefully unacceptable is not itself any form of intolerance or absolutism, apart from democracy being a higher moral imperative than fairness or politeness extended towards violent racist actors and their sympathizers.

In some intensely immature, coddled “let’s go to the common room and discuss our feelings in the framework of ivory tower ethical philosophy” you are free to argue that this is just moral relativism and upholding basic human rights for people of all races is just one viewpoint and we should be philosophically neutral to consider other viewpoints even if one set of norms makes them appear abhorrent.

But that is so juvenile as to be completely ignored, and the appeal to rationalism principles from LessWrong in this example is just deeply absurd.

Defending or sympathizing with overt sociopathic racists and fascists is not the same thing as ideological safe space for debating norms that are hard to process within a given baseline ethical framework. It’s beyond ridiculous for you to act like your response is appropriate at all.

My biggest problem with the ecosystem is how Shopify tries to deflect their own customer problems onto their partners to solve. And oftentimes, these same customers expect the partners to solve it for free.

Examples:

- Their default theme (provided by Shopify) has problems. Blame it on the app developer. "It's the app's fault." Yes, there are some poorly developed apps, but this lumps together the good with the bad.

- Customers use the app review system to hold developer hostage for feature requests. "Create this feature for us and I'll edit my review."

- Shopify's customer service reps says, "It must be the app that's causing this." Reading the CSR's emails, it is clear that this person does not understand the (technical) issues and is only trying to close the ticket. Customer takes what the CSR says as gospel and you, as the developer, spends a lot of time trying to fight that mindset.

I can't help but feel a big part of Shopify's early strategy was that the demographic of customers they were trying to attract just weren't a great type of customer, and that the partner program allowed them to enlist a lot of hungry developers willing to work for free (or next to nothing).

There is definitely room for improvement. I have mixed feelings about it, as their ecosystem provided me with a way to make a living many years ago. I don't depend on them anymore, but I wouldn't argue against trying your luck out there if you're starting out. Just recognize that there is a certain culture and way of practice there.

They did that for a couple developer companies that were intentionally not paying their rev-share agreement. There was an article on HN about it recently.

Which is why I found it disappointing that the entire point of Frozen 2 was to separate the sisters, and undermine their love. It felt like the sequel missed a lot of what made the first one tick.

I was a bit surprised to see several commenters in this thread saying they preferred it. I suspect that they're people who weren't moved by the first one, and found the backstory aspects of the second more interesting. But that's just a guess.

I am not impressed. I clicked on my country and the four most recent fines are: 600(private indiv.), 150 (private indiv.), 100 (Bank), 0 (Post office).

I'm not opposed to GDPR. I just think it's ridiculous how they boasted about fines up to 20 million or 4% of annual worldwide revenue, and then we get an interpretation of "up to" that we otherwise only know from ISPs. I mean, a "fine" of 0 Euro, and 100 Euro for a bank? That is not how you make organisations respect user privacy.

At this rate we're going to have three different any% categories of this speedrun before we can hope for an announcement of a plan to tighten restrictions in an unspecified amount.

So if I'm a white male, I'm only allowed to write about white males? That means that if I write a book, it will be full of white males. How does that help the oppressed? It just removes them from the dominant narrative entirely.

(I mean, maybe it makes books by white males so bland that nobody wants to read them, and so books by white males stop being the dominant narrative...)
I’m much more interested in world leaders’ approach to Twitter. I expect we’ll be seeing some object lessons in the difference between power and influence.

Dogs don't have a right to euthanasia. Dog owners have a right to kill their pets for particular reasons, and livestock owners in general have a right to kill their animals for food and kill 'pests' to protect their livestock.

Most importantly, dogs have no way to deny being euthanized.

In general, humans have more rights given to allow them to stay alive than pets do.

Saying dogs can be killed by their owners so dogs have more rights than people doesn't make sense. If humans had owners, the owners could probably kill them too.

Disclaimer:

In case, it somehow is confused that I'm accused of advocating for slavery, murder, euthanasia, etc. then let it be known that I am not. I think life is an end into itself, and thus ought to be protected.
> somehow turning the fact that Spartans had slaves that had no rights into an indictment of Spartmant society

Note that important argument made by author is that even ancient authors - who were fine with slavery - still mentioned what was happening in Sparta as unusually cruel and extreme.

And in other societies even slaves had some minimal legal or cultural protection. Spartan society celebrated murdering slaves.

From second post in series:

"The absence of any taboo – legal or religious – against the killing of helots marks the institution as uncommonly brutal not merely by Greek standards, but by world-historical standards."

"Given how very little our sources care for the lives and experiences of any enslaved people, the unanimity of their testimony that life as a helot was awful is nothing short of astounding. This is an institution that shocks the conscience of ancient slaveholders."

"Plutarch relates the saying that “in Sparta the free man is more free than anywhere else in the world, and the slave more a slave” (Plut. Lyc. 28.5). He can only be referring to the helots here. Indeed, Plutarch’s statement is telling – the helots were treated poorly by the standards of ancient chattel slavery, which is, I must stress, an incredibly low bar."
The slowness is mostly due to Ruby and the git pull. I contributed in the past and reimplemented it in bash, and there isn't much going on, honestly.

99% of the time, installing a package consists of downloading a few zips from their CDN, decompressing and linking. For those cases Brew could just be checking an API instead of constantly cloning the git repository.

I'm quite surprised nobody has reimplemented it in Rust or Go. The architecture is quite simple compared to a normal package manager. Maybe it's just superstition: people see "package manager" and assume it's complicated instead of digging into the code and finding out how it works.
>This would be clearly criminal in the offline world. Imagine an ATM that promised $10, deducted $10 rom your account, and gave you $1. In fact, it’s even worse than that. It divides by 10 every time you send it, but not him.

But the smart contract isn't promising anything. You can even inspect it to see how it works. What's happening is closer to an ATM that charges a $5 service fee if you're out of network, and makes that known to you when you're using it.
I only do video demonstrations now, even internally.

> Abstract base classes require everything to extend from a base-level object, and also inherit it's default implementations

The general OOP concept of an “abstract base class” might, the particular Python implementation does not, because, as well as classic inheritance, it supports the concept of “virtual subclasses” that are registered with, but do not actually inherit from (and thus do not use the implementation of), an abc.

It shares with structural subtyping that it only defines a mandated interface, but with nominal subtyping that it requires an explicit statement of intent to conform to the interface before an object is considered to conform.
FTR, this is not about great demos that happen to have been enabled by devops tools -- it's about "ReleaseHub" which can (among other things) help in the creation of great demos. I almost skipped the article bc of this ambiguity. HTH
I think it is reasonable as long as there are barriers for consumption and people can be selectively limited in their ability to interact with the broadcasts.

Maybe if Twitter was brought in as a government contractor, including the inability to restrict people from interacting with government tweets and accounts (any non-government entities would fall under the private business side of things and not be included in this restriction) then I think it would be reasonable for the government to use Twitter.
> free for many years in many stock and futures trading platforms

Where can I get free depth of market for futures? eg for CME/CBOT L2, I pay roughly $50/mo as a retailer, or approx $500 for professional. It's not high enough that I would consider changing brokers, but I didn't know it was legal to redistribute Rithmic/CQG L2 streams(they are the only games in town last I checked, and everyone resells them).

edit to add: To be clear, my L2 is 10-levels deep from both bid/ask. I know you can get infinite depth from Rithmic for absurd quantities of money, but don't see the value in it(for me).
My two cents on it is to first identify what you want to focus on as this is critical in finding the opportunities that you will enjoy the most and as a result be more likely to succeed at. Make a list of like 5 things that you think would interest you career-wise (could be specific industries you want to work it, specific tools you want to use in your job, etc...).

Then once you have that list make a list of companies/opportunities that match those interests. Do a bit of research on each company and find the relevant person to get in touch with about opportunities at the company. Send a personal email to that person detailing what interests you about the company and asking about any opportunities with that company or if they know of anyone else hiring that you could be a good fit for. If they say you aren't a good fit, ask what skills you would need to be a better fit. Find the common skills that emerge as you hear back from companies and pursue learning the ones you hear about the most.

Most of the jobs I have gotten were never posted on a job board but instead materialized from reaching out to folks. In college I knew I wanted to live in Maine for a summer and knew I wanted to do GIS work. I emailed several people in the state government, heard back from one. He didn't have any opportunities but directed me to someone else at the state who was looking for an intern. I ended up getting this unposted internship and was able to move to Maine and do GIS work.

Hope this helps a bit!
That’s not how it works at all. Foone explains quite clearly that the “mirror” is actually just a duplicate copy of the room on the other side of the wall, and walking through the mirror sends you to that glitchy duplicate room, not back where you came from.

She is still an elected member of congress, and from what I hear - a rather popular one, regardless of her "tinfoil hatery".

Opposition parties should _never_ have the power to just expel people they don't like from the opposing side.

I'm sure it's purely coincidence she is locked from her twitter account on the same day that congress will be voting on a resolution on whether or not to expel her.

It’s not YOUR code. It’s a PUBLIC blockchain. The contract you publish is public! Your gifting your code to the world in the hopes it solves a real world problem, and it depends on me and everyone else who runs your code on my/their computer with my/their resources to care or agree.

There’s not “code roll back”. That’s not a thing, that doesn’t exists. A hard fork is possible, which is very different; it requires the consensus of millions of miners. The contract and transactions and history still all exist.

And why would your little contract get changed? Why would that happen? It wouldn’t.

Again, it’s public, it’s consensus driven.

These are just uneducated straw man fallacy fud stuff that gets passed around.

If you don’t understand how the blockchain works on a fundamental level then please spare us all from political comments. Let’s talk about facts and technology.

Educate yourself before you comment. Read something other than Twitter and Reddit.

I give up.
But isn't this simply an indictment of Ethereum? Anyone can create such contracts. Is there anything that Ethereum can actually cry "foul" on?

So I appear to be on a Shopify black list.

I've called them, my bank, and on a few occasions even tried other people's cards.

I'm declined no matter what, by Shopify. It's been this way for well over a year. Sometimes retailers will manually process a transaction, but otherwise it's infuriating for me to see Shopify grow in the market.
This is timely. Cockroach has recently decided to lint against the go statement. We also don’t like errgroup because its context propagation is implicit.

I agree. Jetbrains did well with their IDE I think, they show context aware suggestions often, but in a non-obtrusive way. This is effective because the information is there when you need it, not when you have no idea what to do with it.
Who cares. If someone misappropriated my culture for an entire movie I'll be pretty mad, who cares if someone else also took offence.

I feel like this kind of argument only serves as distraction (not implying that's your intent). Do you not think ant culture would be absolutely offended by someone doing this?
Twitter/HN is not an apples/apples comparison... but sure, Twitter is completely within their _current_ lawful rights to moderate and censor whatever content they want. But I would posit that they are actually causing more harm than good through these efforts, and they've now firmly placed themselves in a total quagmire in doing so.

In other words -- there's a lot of room in that market...
The two courses of your parent comment are 2 out of 6 courses of this program [1]. It mentions Java and Typescript. It seems like all 6 can be taken for free if you click the individual links. Is this what you took?

I agree that his contract is predatory, but the exploit is so puzzling simply that I don't understand why it wasn't caught by the bots.

It should be trivially obvious to calculate the outcome of these contracts before throwing $100K USD at them, but apparently someone was running bots that didn't check before executing trades? They just executed contracts and assumed that they were written fairly?
I'm old school, so I use a paper notebook and a pencil or pen. Just never found anything digital or electronic that's even close being as efficient as a notebook.

This is funny.

What I'd love to see, and don't ever, is a real world use of Ethereum which isn't just about arbitraging meaningless tokens.

I'm sure there are lots of theoretical ways smart contracts could change the world. Is there any way in which Ethereum, right now, is adding value to the real economy? I'm talking about being used in a real product to provide a good or service.
I suspect it has to do with the fact that it's still federally illegal, and that's incompatible with some positions.

Journalists who challenge narratives are not given access to people to interview. If you are asking the wrong question, you will simply get "no comment" - and if you do it too much, people will simply stop answering your calls.

That is why the media has effectively aligned with the political parties.

You simply cannot survive in journalism without political support.
I see. I might quibble that here the imprecision isn't just from the subtraction, but because we originally just have very rough estimates for the dates (though 'mam2 brings up a very interesting point about correlation if estimates are based on each other and using them like that isn't the ideal way of answering the question).

It threw me off enough that I didn't get the original point of it re: floating point numbers until your comment - in our floating point formats, the imprecision is often an accidental effect of the limits of the format, vs a true unknown, and then magnifying the relative size of that arbitrary limitation is a problem.
YouTube quite literally has a subscription service. With the service you don't see ads on videos and creators get a cut based on how much you watch different content. It's been around for years, but has remained rather unpopular.
