I don’t mind socialists. I do mind people who think socialism is worth giving up democracy for.

Yes, even if the alternative is the “dictatorship of the bourgeoise” or eternal “imperialism” I mind.

I also very much disagree with the idea that everything that pushes back on communism is “right wing”. I’d consider myself center/left wing (e.g Social Democrat). Everything I write isn’t voted down to oblivion. Get over yourself. There is line to be drawn between Marxism in a democracy and murdering people with opposing views because “imperialism”! It’s fine to argue that workers should own the means of production. Or that the US is an imperialist bully. But one can’t dismantle democracy or murder journalists over it. No sir. Starving your own population I won’t even mention.

And no, no what aboutism. The capitalists and imperialists don’t do this. Autocrats across the world do regardless of color though. Putin, Maduro, the list can be made long. It’s not right vs left it’s autocrat vs Democrat. If one is pro socialist authoritarianism - one is also pro the others. In an autocracy you don’t get to choose what political color the ruler of the day fancies (The dictatorship of the proletariat never arrives - it’s autocrat forever, remember).

It’s completely uninteresting to pin crimes to political ideology. It’s also completely worthless rhetoric to try excuse them with e.g oppression, imperialism, try to claim that murderous capitalist democracies are “just as bad”. People who claim this aren’t giving an alternative view, they only come across as uninformed.

"Myanmar army launches air strikes in Karen state, group says"

I think was in response to this -

"Meanwhile, one of Myanmar’s two dozen ethnic armed groups, the Karen National Union, said it had overrun an army post near the Thai border, killing 10 people – including a lieutenant colonel – and losing one of its own fighters."
This is ludicrously far from the truth.

Those companies are monopolies because they're effective at getting local governments to do what they want, having practiced in thousands of municipalities. In that way SF isn't much different.
> Which spec are you referring to?

OK, this one's on me. I can't find the reference, and I took an article at face value: https://auth0.com/blog/critical-vulnerabilities-in-json-web-...

There are libraries that allow Bad Things, though, and best practice now is just to ignore the `alg` field. As the github repo you linked says, "There have been ways to exploit JWT libraries by replacing RS256 with HS256 and using the known public key as the HMAC-SHA256 key, thereby allowing arbitrary token forgery."
I read this article before and I think this might apply to a 5-10 person startup. An engineer’s ability might be easily measured there. But the problem is startups at that scale usually don't have that much money to pay engineers. That’s probably why you see the reverse.
They would be equally understandable in any language given a one-by-one translation of each word, since the same information is conveyed either way.

I think humans are the fault tolerant in language understanding, not a language. (Or in a different meaning of fault tolerance, like used in information theory, I would even wager that a more regular language will have more of it, because of some “parity checks”. For example, a disappearing subject will still make a sentence understandable because a suffix makes if contextually guessable, eg a gender)
Looks like a clone of Total Commander?
I think you're right but I had to think about it and might not have noticed. How did you have that ready to go?
I’m not a linguist, but here’s how I see it: They are analogous expressions, but as I mentioned, «estar» is not considered an auxiliary verb in Spanish conjugation. You only have «haber», while English has “to be”, “to have” and “to do”. So, technically, in English the expression is “conjugated form of auxiliary to be + gerund” while in Spanish it is defined as a paraphrasis composed of “conjugated form of to be + gerund”. Tomayto, tomahto.
>The average chinese citizen prefers food, water, medicine, competence, before a moderate amount of freedom within reason...

Do you think fox news viewers see themselves as manipulated? Do you think these people are born fearing their guns will be taken away and democrats want to murder babies? Do you think they see these things you say as bad? Fox news viewers perceive themselves to be informed, they are adamant that they are and that what they are told is right. They believe their politicians are competent despite all evidence to the contrary.

You say the overton window is more wide in America, but ignore the idea that the overton window is controlled in both china and republican controlled media. The system is the flaw, not the instantiated output of the system.

Do you think with controlled information you could influence Chinese citizen preferences? Do you think an average person would be able to discover incompetence if all whistleblowers were arrested? Do you think the media would report criminal incompetence? If there is incompetence, but the state run media protects it, how do you know if your perception of competence is even remotely correct?

If your government was performing genocide, but reporting on it in a completely different framing, and limiting all direct evidence of the topic, do you think its possible you could be misinformed? Let's assume China is doing truly evil things in Xinjiang. If that was a fact, how would that make you feel?

> Trump-like competence in charge;

Yeah. I am happy Trump was not able to execute any kind of great leap forward.

> China hasn't invaded any other country since 1979 Vietnam. That's 30+ years.

China doesn't invade countries. It declares its territory and then says stay out of internal matters. Otherwise, it might make me feel better, but it's very curious to me, that while I (an American) was in Vietnam, Vietnamese seemed to not have much of a problem with me, but they were very open about their dislike of China.

> Chinese have had their children being sent to US universities.

One can hope, but the idea that investment into china will lead to democratization or a boost to human rights seems pretty bleak. China's action's in Hong Kong made it's heart very clear.

My fears are not allayed and won't be until China gives up on any form of military conquest of Taiwan and Chinese people can speak freely.

LinkNYC is run by Intersection (a merger of Control Group and Titan (who owned all of the MTA advertising)), which is owned by Sidewalk Labs. Those LinkNYC terminals also run huge display ads 24/7, specifically targeted at the people in range of seeing them.

Internally, the terminals are two Android devices.

Google makes money per internet user, and a lot of its money comes from intent-based keyword searches. Blanketing anywhere in more internet is a money-maker for Google.

Of course if they used Google or Gmail or Chrome Google would make more money. Doesn’t have to be linked to the Internet itself.
And then we go and fish it. F*ng humans.
Language design does not seem to correspond nicely to tool-and-die making. Tool-and-die makers constantly make new tools and can support themselves by doing that, and they can do that all over the world. By contrast, I couldn't get continuous contract work for cranking out new languages to save my life.

A new language is like some sweeping new paradigm of too-and-die making, such that if the tool-and-die shop converts to it, they no longer see eye-to-eye with other shops. Too-and-die makers from elsewhere have to retrain on new concepts to work there.

Or something.

> So a teacher is stuck between writing a test which is too difficult for everyone, and one which is too easy for a substantial fraction of the class.

No, the teacher is not stuck here. It is rarely the purpose of an academic test to plot students on a wide distribution. That’s just something fun for teachers to do to look for exceptional students.

If the purpose of a test is to determine if an individual student passes some bar of understanding, then there is absolutely no reason to make it extremely difficult and then give A’s to those who got >50% correct.
They ended up doing this in Mountain View. It was actually truly anonymous (other than what the networking protocol needs - MAC address etc.): it was just an open wi-fi network that blanketed the whole city. You'd connect with your device, and it didn't ask you anything: no capport, no splash page.

Speeds were pretty slow, which is why I didn't use it as my default connection, and presumably why the program was eventually discontinued (the official reason was lack of usage). It also wouldn't surprise me if they ran into abuse issues (eg. people downloading torrents on it all the time to avoid the RIAA).
Try somewhat off-beat American novels:

1. Lonesome Dove, by Larry McMurty

2. The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, by Carson McCullers

3. A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole

They are great novels, and sadly, are less known than they should be. If you are into movies, there are great ones like "Paris, Texas" by the German director Wim Wenders, or "A River Runs Through It" by Robert Redford.

Really the question is how did she do that? If she had parents in the field (probably a common scenario), we don't need to know much more. If it's something else, then we can ask if those conditions can be generalized.
Now that's a really good point. I wonder why there isn't a standard protocol for signalling upstream that a particular connection is abusive and to please rate limit the path at the source on your behalf? It would certainly add complexity, but the current situation is hardly better.
Yeah, EspoTek. Interesting to hear that from you - Siglent appears third for me, and that's using an incognito window too (so it would be safe to assume any personalisation is off?).
Ran it from the portable version. Looks really good. It's time Windows Explorer gets some fresh blood!

I know it's not going to be possible for the default Windows Explorer to change, because it affects too many people. However, this kind of development which shows different capabilities that are possible with new thinking. An example being the colour coded ages of the directories. That's a really cool idea, compared to sorting by the 'Modified By' column.

Most other alternatives end up doing a two-pane view with minor changes, which I've never found sufficient to want to change.

From the Trello todo list, I see Keyboard Shortcuts are also on the anvil. Great.
The places where lignite is mined look like this afterwards:

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagebau_Garzweiler#/media/Date...

and are planned to become lakes (but at least in Germany nobody knows where the water is supposed to come from).

The places where coal is mined under ground need to run pumps forever or the surrounding cities are destroyed. The pumps in Germany's Ruhrgebiet consume about 70MW continuously. In a couple of decades the pumps will have consumed more energy than we got out of the coal.

And, of course, if we continue to burn coal in a couple of decades largeish parts of the globe might become uninhabitable to humans.

That's also possible. I said "very clearly to the contrary" precisely because I was not talking about that scenario.
I don’t quite understand the downvotes. Narcissists, psychopaths, autistic, etc are technical terms, not an abstract labeling for “smart person with completely inhuman thinking”.

Pointing at who seems to be an insane man and calling him a “narcissist” is like pointing at a Chrome window and saying “this folder on Desktop” and okay grandma I get it but that is technically wrong. OP is just explaining the situation.

The Internet when I grew up was abundant of horror stories around encounter with insane person, and there were definitely multiple different modes of failure, like charging towards the storyteller with a knife in hand, the person leaving the identity behind as if it was nothing, storyteller being the unreliable narrator, etc etc. Usually the best response seemed to be either to display a skill that the imposter can’t replicate, or applying hard rules that allows no alternate interpretations so that they cannot elongate the drama.

I don’t know which cliche suggests which diagnosis and armchair diagnosis is at best useless, but it is true that there are types, and if OP thinks it’s not the same type as his own, that is at least an anecdatapoint.

e: ok I didn’t read the top comment. Clinical distinction don’t matter, you just have to know how to defend against. And it’s documented. That is right. I’ll keep this comment as a shame to myself.
The ultimate dream of open source is for all software to become open source.

Open source need not mean that the development of the software in question wasn't paid for.

The ideal is one of concrete socialism. To share the results of the labor and to continually improve rather than everyone constantly redoing the same work.

Open source may not be a business model but it can certainly be viewed as an idealistic vision for software development as a whole.

I am wary of anything that makes absolute statements such as the one in this article: "no successful product has come from an open core company" The article quotes it and seems to agree with it. It is absolute rubbish. There are a good number of successful open core products.

Hi piterrro,

glad you asked. It's not really different in that regard, as it's the only official approach to validating EU VAT numbers programatically.

With Vatfy I want to provide a solution that takes care of evidence storage of your validations, combined with location information, VAT rates as well as price calculations based on B2B/B2C pricing. So really having a solution to solve multiple use cases based around VAT number validation.

Hope that makes sense?

Lots of pushback in this thread against the idea of 10x, 50x, etc. engineers. If we’re just measuring performance relative to the average software developer then I don’t see why they wouldn’t exist. I’ve met developers who solve problems that the average developer would simply never solve no matter how much time they threw at it. You could make the argument that they are “infinityx” engineers, as silly as that might sound.

I tried to look at the screenshots on my phone (Android, Note 8, Chrome). They are much too small to read, and pinch zoom is disabled.

Then I got a clue. After tapping on the image, I long-pressed it and selected "Open image in new tab".

Bingo! Now I have the screenshot open and I can pinch-zoom it to see the details.

This is not a complaint, just a tip for anyone who has trouble with the screenshots on mobile.
