I just thought Crypto would level the playing field. that seems to be a misconception on my part. Sounds like it's more that I can have access to my money all the time because of a centralized system. Although I am finding in research that there are centralized Crypto exchanges. So I need to figure out how that is different.
hooray its this thread again.

Very interesting, thx!
Any particular reason you didn't choose a mailing service for the job? Batching email like that does cost money (at least at Mailchimp), but they do make it their job, so they're pretty good at it. (They also manage unsubscribes automatically, which is important to being a good email citizen.)

Not criticizing; I'm just curious about your decision.
But I'm already mucking with the program code most of the time so I'm not worried about touching it.

This is an unreasonable expectation. People should try but if they don't, there is no malice here.

There are many languages around the world and it is impossible to remember every nuance of how to pronounce things. Ghandi is common pronounciation even in Germany. The Japanese might pronounce it something else.

And to flesh that out, as I typed that quickly before a meeting…

I have worked on design and events for user conferences for several medium-size-ish software firms. Last year, our long-standing annual conference went online-only. And I tell ya: night and day differences in terms of stress levels.

There is still that crunch to get things to MVP state to show off, and people still need to record talks and hold Zoom meetings, but something about not having to deal with physically preparing a space just made it all so much easier. (And our event space was literally across the street.) No machine/projector drama, no conference wifi falling apart, nobody with late flights…
Yeah, that's very close. The German pronunciation would be halfway between the English F and W sound.

This discussion has been ongoing in security for a couple of decades. The reason we didn't get traction on fixing it was because our approach to mitigating risk interfered with opportunity and growth. Imo, the U.S. is losing its place in the world because it can't assert itself the way it used to, as a direct consequence of there being zero-cost to an adversary retaliating by creating domestic civil unrest using metro area power outages and water system compromises from cyber attacks. Think Texas power outages last month, but longer, and in LA, NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, or a version of last years riot season with blackouts.

It's harder to mobilize an army, let alone a draft, when your people are rioting and looting for lack of basic services. The good news is we won't see another personnel heavy gulf war or vietnam again, but the terrible news is adversaries know it's almost democratically impossible for the U.S. to fight a total ground war anymore and this will embolden regional border conflicts where raw numbers of infantry soldiers are an advantage. See China's current aggression in international waters and on its border with India as an example where there is a hard ceiling on the level of U.S. intervention because cyber has unbalanced the risk/reward.

Perhaps its only option is to keep escalating aggression and putting pressure on adversaries so they don't have the attention to devote to their regional ambitions, where the role changes from global cop, to a global "broken windows" and "stop and frisk" policing policy.
Maybe it wasn't a luxury for you, but for me and the people where I lived growing up TVs were much more of a luxury than they are today. People practically give away monitors and TVs, especially if they're old or small. Add in laptop and phone screens, and you have even more displays for 'watching TV'. If a poor family has an old phone per person and one TV, that's easily more than most families would've had when I was growing up, which was often 0-1 TVs for the whole household.

To tie it back to my original point, people can afford more screens than the equivalent people could've afforded 20-30 years ago. This makes it easier to have netflix on in the background, whereas back in the day it would've been more of an active activity

> Shouldn't Cloudflare have some form where SteamDB could state "we don't infringe on your copyright" and then it's up to SEGA to take this to court?

Not really.

I mean, yes, the DMCA provides an additional safe harbor for putting stuff back up in response to a counternotice, but most providers have structured their relationship with users such that they are certain to have no liability for a takedown-and-keepdown in the first place, so they have very little incentive to have a counternotice process.

The difference between safe harbor requirements and real legal requirements is that whether there is any force behind the former depends entirely on whether you have any preexisting liability for the safe harbor to protect you from.
Here is how I assumed story points would relate to the task, but this takes into consideration 2 facts

1. The team is at least 60-70% aware of what needs to be built, be it a new feature or changes to an existing one. This does not imply every single member should have the same awareness, but more would be more helpful.

2. If the team is not well equipped then it would require them to research about the task at hand and gain a rough idea before estimating. If you do not have access to this time, then buy it.

Coming to the story point wrt to task complexity aspect, here is how I see it,

1. 1 => minor code changes, such as consolidating migration files, css changes that do not involve a parent component or moving config keys for a new feature to a store. Tasks with 1 SP are usually sub tasks based on what I have seen.

2. 2 => minor code changes that involve QA testing the change specifically. This might also include a change in assertion for a test case or adding a new test case to cover this scenario.

3. 3 => Code changes that involve QA testing as well as adding new test cases since this will involving adding new behaviour to a user flow.

4. 5 => Same as for SP(3) but has code changes that involve refactoring or might end up touching dependent files or APIs. Could also be related to adding a new user flow. Might scale to an 8 if the QA feels that testing from their side might be more complex.

5. 8 => Tasks that involves adding a new user flow(s) or refactoring existing flow(s). Any task that involves the QA going `hmmm` during estimation.

6. 13 => Any task 13 or over needs to be split up. One could identify such tasks by checking if the acceptance criteria is similar to a `Give Yourself Goosebumps` novel.

I have not included SP wrt to research tasks that would aid a team in understanding how to estimate a new feature because even I throw a 5 or 8 at it.

P.S. This is how I saw it, but was never able to fully have the team use it, hence I cannot vouch how effective this might be in the long run
Supabase has been better in every way than Firebase. Even if it wasn’t open source it would still be a better alternative. No-sql’s main (only?) appeal is approachability; Supabase makes relational data just as approachable while avoiding the ceiling that every Firebase project seems to hit. Plus its database UI is actually usable.
You can also run blast locally if you need to throw more hardware at it.

There are many cases where businesses go beyond the legal requirements for whatever reason. Coinbase for example has explained that they make shady backdoor deals with regulators.

> "Wealth is accumulated through habits" is a great story to tell people but it seems very often to be complete BS.

I'm surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet, but I encourage you to dig more into financial independence, and how living more frugally can help you save more money to invest in the right ways to generate wealth. There's plenty of books on these habits, "The Millionaire Next Door", and even some popular communities that attest to it such as https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/.

You don't need to be rich to generate wealth, but it takes sacrifice (like everything in life), or even habits to get there.
Does it have to do with proper gun control or better access to mental health services?
Reading through the press release, this really stood out:

> In 2016, we first met the Getty Images team. We weren’t sure they would see the world the same way we did given their business was largely built on licensing. Over years of conversations, however, we learned about the level of respect they had for the Unsplash community and the rights of creators to choose how and where their imagery is made available.

While this is written as though they had initially misunderstood Getty, it doesn't clarify at all how things have evolved. My unvarnished reading is "We were worried about Getty because they're all about copyright, but after talking for years, we've learned they're really all about copyright."

After reading this, I think your lack of optimism is warranted.

That comes with all the problems with force push and rebase, bar the history during code review one.

For example this still has a commit message issue, just on the maintainer's side: As the maintainer if you are going to use rebase to merge this PR, that means you need to accept whatever commit message the contributor wrote as-is. Are you happy with that? If not, you can't even leave inline comments on that, and it's usually pretty hard to communicate and give feedback on how you want the commit message to be.
Building a Simple Budgeting Tool as Good as Simple's
Hello,

I'm a long time customer of Simple Bank and have been looking for alternatives to their budgeting tools since they announced their looming shut down. My searches have been unsuccessful so I'm going to try and build an alternative in the next 40 days before they shut down on May 8th.

I'm pretty confident I can do it. Follow along if you're a former Simple customer or are into budgeting.

The true unit cost is probably $6 per dose. The COVID vaccines may break-even short-term. Long-term, it's probably worth keeping an extra 120M potential customers alive for what will probably result in a small profit.

Don’t you think there’s something inherently wrong with a system where someone can either afford to stand up to a (possible) bully or they can’t? Absent the intervention of public outrage the side willing/able to withstand more legal fees “wins” these fact patterns the vast majority of the time. To me, that doesn’t seem like a system designed to achieve the intended outcome in the spirit of the law.
Compound interest is a thing. If you are fortunate to have a job that allows you to save money, and you put that money in the S&P 500 it will double every 7-10 years.

The worst part of English orthography is adopting the writing conventions of literally every other language in the world and then expecting people to pronounce the words "correctly." If you want English speakers to pronounce something a certain way, it should be written use our spelling system. There's no point in shaming people for not knowing literally every language. But that's basically the system we have now.
> A false DMCA takedown is equivalent to perjury

No, it's not.

Interesting story, but something about eating fish raised on sewage left me feeling kinda squeamish?

I love how they market their book on this site:

"The Printed Website: Second Volume Out Now

The printed version of Low-tech Magazine can be viewed with no access to a computer or a power supply -- or when the solar powered website is down due to bad weather."
As a site, when you adopt a CC0-esque license, what happens is other sites will scrape you but not allow you to scrape in exchange.

You start losing out on SEO rankings, and then contributors, and finally content. This also makes it harder to invest in usability features like curation and search (photo search is complicated!).

I’d love to understand any ideas on how to create open CC0 aggregators without the game theory seemingly stacked against you.

Players of PSO2 (an MMO game) will tell you that SEGA is notoriously improbable to get a hold of, and they don't respond much beyond automated messaging to issues re: bans.

A couple friends were banned erroneously via an automated purge of around 10k+ players. Their customer service was stone silent.

Randomly with no communication, one of their accounts was back online after a couple months.

It's worth mentioning that these were premium members, paying around $15 a month, with 1000s of hours spent playing. No apologies. No refund for their time banned.

I don't have a good feeling of their methodologies and business practices. It's a part of the reason why I stopped playing.
Someone mentioned yet another alternative which I have used previously but had completely forgotten

Well sure, but people still have eyes. You would want to visually see what's happening with your rocket test wouldn't you? It just makes no sense why they didn't scrub for a few hours. Especially given the abundance of caution SpaceX has always shown with that.
The Swiss own guns for opposite reasons that Americans do.

They own them because they trust their government or if that's too strong of a word, they are content with their ability to defend Switzerland for the government. Instead of defending themselves from the government. (But that sentiment exists too)

I don't know why the article focuses so much on "the first X months." From 2010 through 2019, Norway had 298 victims of murder,[1] so 29.8 per year, or 2.5 per month, in average. Things usually "heat up" during the summer when more people are out and about.

Is there a good source where I can read more about this or can you elaborate a bit? Why don’t they use the term and what term is preferred instead?

Edit: Oddly enough, the Wikipedia article[1] includes a few sentences/references about how and why the term is no longer considered accurate by historians (it “mischaracterises the Middle Ages as a time of violence and backwardness“) yet Wikipedia continues to use the term “Dark Ages” as the article title.

Not quite so. Taiwan was ruled by the losers of China's civil war until about the 1990s (the modern party counterpart is the KMT). From their perspective, "One China" is about "we deserve to own all of China" and concomitant refusal to accept their loss in the war. Their opposing party (the DPP) instead advocates Taiwanese independence and refused to support the "One China" policy, but have declined to make any strident moves towards changing policy in power essentially for the reasons you mention.
This is bad. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Not to minimise the seriousness of cyber-flashing, but sharing with the world intimate/sensitive data/media without the consent of the other party is reprehensible (too). I don't think that “but what they did was 10× worse!” makes this site defensible. I surely hope there are better strategies to deal with unsolicited naked pics.

> Checking to see whether the interface "contains" a nil pointer is almost always an error. It is not something you should ever do when you have an interface value.

So here's where I do that:

https://github.com/gwd/session-scheduler/blob/master/handle_...

The pattern is basically:

var foo = interface{}

switch (something) {
case A:
foo = Foo()
case B:
foo = Bar()
}

Foo and Bar both return different concrete types which are nil if the request can't be handled. I want to do something if either Foo or Bar return 'nil', and also if neither case A nor case B are taken. So I've got:

if foo == nil || reflect.ValueOf(foo)IsNil() {
// handle the error
}

// Pass foo elsewhere

I mean yeah, I certainly could arrange things differently; but in general I think that's not an unreasonable thing to expect to be able to do.

> The real error occurs when you put the nil pointer in an interface value that can't correctly implement the interface... putting anything in an interface value that can't implement the interface is an Already Lost situation.

First of all, that's not the case in my example above: nil can satisfy every method of `interface{}`.

Secondly, my compiler refuses to compile if I assign something other than a nil pointer that can't implement the interface. If putting nil into an interface is such a bad idea, the compiler should prevent you from doing it.
Alaska is ready and willing to prove you wrong.
That's...not even close to reflective of the nationwide statistics. What percentage of Philly is black (anwer: 43.6%. So about 4x the national average. Whites are 44%).

And while black convictions of murder nationwide are ~50-55% of the total (note: convictions), plenty of ink has been spilled over why that's the case; numerous systemic problems in the US that...yeah, Norway doesn't have.

But in a distant, very indirect route I sort of agree with you - the fact Norway didn't bring in slaves (though they did profit from slavery) does mean its current issues with racism manifest very differently.
