> Over time, though, Harris's worldview changed. He started to see the downside to the industrial farming ... To replace the chemical fertilizer, he brought in chickens and let them roam free. Free-range chickens would fertilize the grass; the grass would nurture the cattle, and shoppers at Whole Foods would love Harris's organic beef. ... But then, the eagles started to descend on Harris's farm. Eagles eat chicken. Eagles love chicken.

Since eagles are protected by law, the farmer wasn't allowed to hunt and clear the eagles from preying on his organic operation.

No good deed goes unpunished?
You are right, that's a shaky part and where insecurity is coming from - and sure, get a lawyer if you want more certainty. Depends where you are anyway. Better answers to that are already here. Just one thing:

> the original author didn't have the right to distribute it under the MIT license, so they (rails) never had a valid license.

Thing is, if it's really about a databasefile that was not copyrightable the gem author did have the right to distribute it. That's a happy circumstance of this specific case, making all of this less severe either way.
> I'm really skeptical that's true.... Winnie the Pooh is such a popular theme in products in China, I've never heard anything remotely close to such a ban....

IIRC, it's not a general ban, it's just censored from social media, probably by official directive.

I was thinking about a comment I read here, that claimed that in China companies have to hire party members because is the politically correct thing to do.

And that got me thinking how in "the west" companies have to hire lawyers (and accountants) for legal compliance reasons.

The comment I replied to was equating my defense of the Hong Kong police as "a CCP talking point." How else am I supposed to interpret it?

Correct. You simply avoided answering the question, which implies you'd 'do nothing, and take it'
In a rational world, that wouldn't have happened, but we seem to have lost our ability to say behavior A (which has supporting facts) is significantly worse than behavior B (which is alleged).

Preying on children, or advocating for those who want to, is a significantly bigger problem than the _accusation_ of bias based on preference.

What if it was done constantly all day long every day? How would that be any different than having been done once? This is reddit, the bastion of anonymous inanity.
People revolted against Digg because their redesign was a mess. Reddit's redesign is an equal disaster and viewing it on a phone is impossible because it employs dark patters to force you into an app.

Yet, there's no proportional response in this case.
Not offering a free version is totally reasonable, but calling this a trial version would seem more honest.

Legal contract? No. Social contract? Yes.

> Otherwise, I think they are free and clear to do whatever they want to do with any subreddits, posts, or comments.

I'm surprised this is where you went with your rationale. The parent was clearly saying that the intent of the communities is the ability for people to freely speak each other. Any function, especially by authority, to undermine that will erode confidence and thus eventually cause people to use the site less.
GChalk – Terminal string styling for Golang, with painless Win10 support
I second easytether! I use this from my at&t Samsung s9 and it works incredibly well in USA. I have it usb to a pi which runs dnsmasq to operate as a router with both an Ethernet switch and WiFi access point. Toss on a UPS and plug it into my truck. When I’m driving it charges and they make 12000mAh batteries so it lasts a full workday. I’ve used over 100Gb from this setup per month for over a year. I also tried out a cellular hat for the pi and found that it was a pain to setup but in the end can replace the cell phone.

Is there anything more damning against Aimee besides "she seems to have some unusual sexual preferences"? I find the idea that "this person likes cartoon animals in diapers" leads to the conclusion "and thus is a danger to children" seems like a stretch.

Hiring her dad seems like bad judgement, but she was 21 and it doesn't seem like there is evidence she was procuring victims or anything like that.

Graham Linehan is like the UK Tucker Carlson of hating trans people (note all the confusing misgendering in this article). Accusations from him should be taken with a large grain of salt.

How would anyone know it was you? I assume you aren't stupid enough to use your real name on Reddit or make any self-identifying remarks.
You are asking for a "thesis", for a unique proposition.

Well, maybe Perl 5's backwards-compatibility can be marketed, (or will emerge anyway, without any marketing), as a key advantage.

There are not many languages that have this property of long-term stability. One of them is R , see recent Blogpost "Ode to R stability" by Dirk Eddelbüttel, one of the R authorities (and Debian Maintainer)

No. I actually went to GNOME's IRC network the other day to talk to them about gtkfilechooser's multiple problems. Yours, and then the lack of text input for typing or pasting file paths. https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/938 . They said they have no one assigned to gtkfilechooser bugs and none will be addressed.

I was able to download the debian source for a couple gtk applications (ie, gedit/pluma) and apply community sourced patches to them to get back the text/file path entry box. But there's no way I am going to be able to fix Gtk itself. And fixing every application on my system by compiling from source and making new debian packages, well, I might as well linux from scratch.

If a system for selling tickets has a weak point, it will be found and exploited by scalpers.

That's kind of the whole point of the original article.

Every "solution" thrown out by well-meaning third parties is either exploitable by scalpers, makes the experience significantly worse for legitimate buyers, or just shifts which legitimate buyers are able to make a purchase (i.e. I didn't get to buy a ticket but you did. This solution would let me buy a ticket but wouldn't let you buy one).
Do you have the old Reddit UI saved in your preferences? If so, you might be seeing the site as it used to be, and not as it now is for the vast majority of users.

Also, from the user[0] that posted the original Spectator article:

> Automation tends not to take five minutes, edit people's comments to remove publicly available information on public figures(in this case a passing one sentence mention that did not even mention reddit or admins), make typos on that edit, re-edit them again later to fix the typos and then permanently suspend posters with still no reply on their appeal after almost a day.

That's possible and likely. It would obviously be worse.
> It was also removed because Challenor was referenced at the bottom of the article, not because of anything in the Reddit post itself

I've seen that repeated a lot, but every time followed by a correction that said part of the article was quoted in the comment.
I think it's a joke, it's probably the same as palm of person waiting for a high five.
It's an unlimited duration free trial. The copy suggests it's usable and fair enough, it isn't really. But that doesn't invalidate the remainder of the product. This looks like it just launched, they're likely still iterating on the copy.

I mean, the same page also says "We need to charge, because we can't sell your data", so let's not get stuck on such a small detail.

I must say that for a just-launched utility SaaS, this looks remarkably well done. Clear targeting, good website, no nonsense.
Why the downvote? It's a decent eink tablet.
My experience agrees with your first statement, but more in the sense that really good thinking was possible when I was at a pace I felt confident I could maintain for an hour or two without being overly tired afterwards. Of course that pace increased over time and eventually my 'jog' pace was faster than my starting 'run' pace.
On the flip side, administrators can and do directly edit user posts on a lot of web forums I've used, some of which make it more obvious than others. I think the Facebook/Twitter position is the more unusual one, and it's tied up with those platforms' obsessions with real names and verified identities...

Fluent-config: Configuration files and workflows
Really weak arguments, especially when it comes to alcohol as a point of comparison. The author's real issue is that they simply don't like weed, which is certainly their prerogative. But it's not a great argument against legalization.

If your argument is that weed is so harmful that we shouldn't legalize, and the perfectly reasonable reply comes that we already have legalized things much more harmful by basically any metric you care to choose, and your rejoinder is "whataboutery", we're all done here from an argumentation standpoint.

The bit about drinkers being lazy dopes versus the sprightly activism of weed smokers is also asinine and irrelevant. This sucks.
Great work. I am learning golang right now. The art/pics look amazing and the samples and the explanations are on point. Thank you for your work! I'm sure it will go a long way I'll made sure I tweet about it.
For me:

First, after a wrist issue I actually found the iPad Por keyboard remarkably comfortable in contrast to my laptop and dedicated keyboards. I'm not sure what it was, but something about either the keyboard itself or the way it forced me to hold my hands was the only tolerable way for me to type for a few months (NB: not an RSI issue, ganglion cyst on the lower side of the wrist, since repaired so this is not a present concern for me).

Second, with Blink + mosh I have an effective terminal into nearly any system I could want (I have not tried remoting into Windows machines and have no interest in it, but I'm sure there's a way). Paired with Working Copy and Textastic I have a pretty nice setup. With the shell, I can do anything manually I'd normally do on my MBP or another *nix system and also get access to emacs (my preferred editor). And with a decent CI/CD configuration, Working Copy + Textastic makes for a good experience (depending on what you're making) when I want to work only or primarily on the iPad.

Third, I've generally been shying away from developing on my home machine directly. That is, I wrap my development environments up in a VM more often than not. The idea of using remote systems or a dedicated VM host machine for this is a reasonable extension.

The only real issue for me is when I'm out and about (which is not so common these days). In my present city there are some substantial cell service dead zones right in the middle of the city. So without a proper laptop hosting the development environment or wifi, that area is off-limits for working while out in the city. However, I also find this city's preference for chain restaurants and coffee shops to be incredibly dull and the areas with more interesting spaces have good service (for me) so that's mostly a non-issue (and with COVID a moot point, I'm not going to those places because they aren't reliably open for indoor service and it's below freezing here still).

If I traveled like I used to, that issue could become a blocker, but that's something I'll deal with when the time comes. Until then, working primarily on remote machines with a terminal or automated workflows works well for me.
yeah, but those numbers seem fishy.

I'm trying to picture the car that is worth only 5 * monthly-lease-price when it is 3 years old, and the only way that makes sense is if the car is expected to require very significant maintenance costs beginning after year 3.

Monthly leases are usually a small percent of a car's new value (e.g., 3% over 36 months would exceed the cost of buying it new even ignoring lease downpayments, fees, etc).

Over 36 months the car should depreciate and the lease costs as percent of current value will naturally rise, but this scenario presumes monthly lease price reaches 20% of the car's value which is absurd.

Social contract? Seriously? Who in the world is using Reddit because they have confidence in it? That is insane. It's an anonymous black hole of posts and comments and come and go like dust in the wind and have no lasting permanence or value. It's not social. There is no contract. Nobody in their right mind should have confidence in Reddit or believe that anything on there is real or authentic.

Yes, that is possible. Java was dead slow early on (I first used it soon after it came out, and pioneered use of servlets in my
company at the time), but after Sun's management threw millions of dollars and high-end tech people at the problem, it got fast enough for many uses in a few years, what with the Hotspot VM and JIT tech and so on.
It's the property taxes that kick people out. There should be a graded scale that caps how much property taxes can rise in a year. Say 1% for current owners (or at most the rate of inflation). That would slow a LOT of this down. Sure change is inevitable but let people have a chance to adjust.

> Be careful what you wish for. Toppling a horrible government does not always solve problems. I'm not saying we should just throw the oppressed under the bus to get stability, but an actual downfall of CCP would probably be like Saddam Hussein only exponentially worse.

I'm not so sure about that. Iraq has an unstable ethnic configuration that the US was in the position to preserve for dubious geopolitical reasons. If it had been allowed to fragment along those lines, toppling Saddam would have probably gone better. China does have some minority ethnic regions, but I doubt anyone would care if they broke away except Han Chinese nationalists. I'd say it's break up would be more like the Soviet Union's, except it would probably go better since the Chinese economy is far more competitive.

You say the r/the_donald doesn't exist but it's only banned at the moment.

Some search engines like Duckduckgo actually keeps a bang shortcut (!) awaiting the day when that subreddit gets unbanned.

My opinion is that such people are stupid. I can understand people that disagree with RMS on his free-software philosophy, or views on software development, or management style, or his personal quirks or whatever and not wanting to work with him - fine, freedom of association, it's yours to choose. That's valid and understandable.

Making a choice because of a random opinion voiced once - which is completely immaterial as RMS himself is not a woman and his opinions about personal decisions of women have absolutely zero importance (which does not preclude him from voicing them, everybody can have an opinion, just some of them are pretty worthless and useless) - is just stupid. It's manually disabling your own intellect, removing all the huge body of useful information you could base your decisions on and concentrate your attention on one immaterial detail. It's like you being offered an awesome job in a great company with huge salary and you quitting on the first day because one person in your office has a pen of a wrong shade on his desk. I can only attribute such decisions to performative virtue signalling, because the alternative would be insanity.
GOP presidents have exclusively been deficit spenders starting with Reagan, who reversed the decades long trend of paying off WWII debt and handed off a massive expansion of the national debt to GDP ratio after his terms.

I believe Clinton is the only president in the past 50 years who has ever presided over a government surplus.

> I have seen this be the fault of developers as much or more than management - even for that "let's get everything right this time" sort of project, devs who interpret that as "let's build a beautiful intricate machine that does exactly what we want it to today" are fare more common than devs who build something that will be able to evolve for tomorrow's needs.

Yes, but more due to inexperience than anything else. Projects tend to start out under-abstracted because modelling takes time, and they were told time to market was the #1 priority. So the natural reaction when that approach breaks down is to dust off the old design classes from school and create an all-encompassing model of everything in the business. Of course in the safe confines of college assignments they never got to experience what a pain that really is.

> Management rarely is involved or interfering there, when a dev or dev team decides to abstract over messy rules to make something "clean" - but in the process just encodes the messiness deeper, and in a harder-to-change way.

That exact lack of involvement is a big part of the problem. The idea of chucking PowerPoint mock-ups for CRUD screens over the fence and telling the devs not to worry their pretty little heads with any domain knowledge. I think Eric Evans has the solution to this problem with Domain Driven Design, but DDD requires a huge commitment on both sides to meet in the middle, sit down and work it all out. But neither have the time for it the way businesses are currently run.

Really the problem is the lack of reinvestment of dividends.

If they'd reinvested their 2.5% every year, in a similar bond paying 2.5%, then they'd now be collecting dividends of something like $600,000/year... absolutely crushing holding Gold.

The fact that this is a perpetual bond is interesting, but rolling an investment through shorter-dated bonds paying 2.5% over the centuries would have achieved a better result.
