At this point we're entering criminal territory. Enriching yourself when you should reasonably know something criminal is occurring (like someone being defrauded), and helping the perpetrator by providing your service anyways, can make you a criminal yourself very fast.

As far as judges will be concerned, you're now a perp yourself.
sqlite is amazing and everything.

I still use Postgresql for most things - the tool support is genuinely a lot better. I also find the explain output much easier to understand.

There are also features which I occasionally use which Postgresql support such as partitioning, functional indexes, partial indexes. These can be emulated in some way with sqlite I'm sure, but they are fairly nice.

I have implemented some really critical stuff in sqlite and it's been amazing though. Anyone using sqlite in production needs to really understand the concurrency limits though.
My friend is a car mechanic and his weekend car is a 1985 Nissan Z31, which he welded from two halves - front and back.

It's physically possible to do it and maintain reasonable safety but you need proper equipment, skills and time.

The frame is generally not designed to be welded like that, so without reinforcement it will be significantly weaker.

He did is as a hobby project but generally done properly such operations are not cost-effective.

Nevertheless it's still a service some shops provide at the cost of safety.

My aunt used to have such a car - she only noticed because she was blowing through sets of tires - the halves were misaligned(rotated) by less than one degree in each axis, but it was enough to make proper tire alignment impossible.
Uhhh, yes, I believe those were the errors ( not 100% sure ).

Sure, but in the end the market rents will still reflect the desirability of living in Berlin. Whether that's because of salaries, culture, transport or something else.
> This mismatch of supply and demand is exactly the kind of thing that would be solved through pricing in normal markets.

The very opposite. The market optimizes for maximum profitability, not for maximum savings for renters or best quality of life.

There's a reason why governments have been building cheap housing across the last 100 years in most developed countries.
There's plenty of space. I've walked by countless empty lots and abandoned buildings that could easily fit dozens or hundreds of new apartments. I'm sure there's plenty of ridiculous legal challenges to actually building on those spots, but that doesn't mean that there's no land available.

Additionally, calcium is good for women since it maintains strong bones and also allows the brain signaling to work efficiently.The company that makes Collagen Complex says that their formula is free of harm. It does not contain any ingredient that would harm your body in any way.In fact, we could not find any reviews that say that This Supplement has caused any side effects. However, we would still advise you to be cautious especially if you are already taking medicinal drugs for a chronic ailment.

Depending on how your code is structured, phantom types might work for your use case. They're useful for tracking metadata about the values being passed around, even though the methods and fields don't differ between your use cases.
Interesting. That sounds a lot like rent control if the wiggle room is only 10% over a 6 year moving average.

Yep, we now find that there are enough launches to make, maybe, reusable rockets a profitable idea. These launches so are coming from SpaceX, are financed so far by VC money for a service that has yet to proof to be competitive and profitable.

I am not saying SpaceX isn't impressive, because it is. They are simply working at a place where they can benefit from expensive government launches, government development contracts and VC money. Remove VC money, money the competition will never get, and the competitive landscape is totally different. As I said, you see the same situation with a lot of other start ups as well. And quite honestly, I don't like that some companies can strong arm competition by not having to be profitable.

And before anyone brings up Amazon, they were profitable and cash positive for the most part of there existence.

I had a similar issue as you, what ended up working for me was to contact the support for payment issues, and saying I had issues with paying for something.

Got in contact with a real human (i think..) in chat in under a minute, which helped me get it resolved via filling out like 4 different forms.

No idea if this would work for you though, but worth a try?
The main reason is that administering small loans is expensive: costs of administering/chasing the debt don't really scale down just because the loan itself is only $50, and most of these entities seek to turn a profit too. Additionally there's a suspicion the middlemen sometimes use other loans' interest payments to cover defaults since nonrepayment makes them look bad to Kiva lenders.

Zidisha (YC14, nonprofit) cut out the middleman to do pure P2P lending in the developing world at much lower rates but at least when I was on the platform had significant issues with defaults even with local volunteers helping with chasing (and some defaults definitely weren't planned).

> If you are convinced that this will happen in your city maybe now would be a great time to buy a place?

Did you miss the part were they explained they can't do it because they only have a temporary assignment? This sounds a lot like "just be rich".

The reality is that a lot of people simply cannot afford to just "buy a place". According to some statistics [0], 40% of Americans (i.e. a "rich" country), are just one missed paycheck (or unexpected expenditure) away from homelessness. If you belong to the 60% that aren't and never experienced the situation, I understand how foreign the concept might seem to you.

There are dozens of appicants for each flat anyway, with or without the cap.

Not everyone can just buy a place, if rents keep increasing only rich people will be able to afford living in the city, you need a lot of non-rich people to actually run the city though: cashiers, nurses, teachers, firefighters etc. It's not that easy.

It always surprises me when people say that they're fine with personalised ads, even going so far as saying that if they're getting ads they want them to be personalised. I guess I _can_ understand why, they want them to be potentially useful if they're seeing them...

To me though, sure, show me ads, fine, whatever, but don't build them around a profile of me to try to manipulate me directly based on my potential interests and behaviour. Any time I can disable any "personalisation" of ads, I do.

If you have statistics, i'm interested, but to my knowledge there is no housing shortage in Berlin. If anything, there's more housing than ever before, it's just trapped in the hands of landlords who want to speculate on it.

Exactly. If "putting innocent people in chains and enslaving them in a foreign country" doesn't count as ignoring people's legal rights, I'm not sure what does.
Actually what they are doing and asking for is illegal. Asking for credit scores, proof of employment and sensitive stuff like that is only legal when an offer to rent is actually being made to that candidate. Just having everybody send in everything is common, but should never happen. However, privacy watchdogs are somewhat toothless and future renters put up with it because they have no other choice.
doesn't sound like their "minds were ruined", but rather that they have different priorities than you and that you're narrowminded and judgemental.

Ah, all right. A significant stock of empty apartments would certainly be suboptimal in a city like Berlin. I'm not a big fan of bans on things that don't cause direct harm to people, but I don't see any reason to not heavily tax apartments that are kept empty.
It depends on how strings are counted. If every String object is atomized/interned then e.g. the string "div" is stored once, but on a 64bit system you have 8 bytes for a pointer and another 8 bytes for bookkeeping things such as length.
I'm not sure I detect either ignorance or 'malicious thought' in the parent post. It is clearly true that much of modern Yoga practise in the west >is< influenced by other cultures (the Swedish / British keep fit programmes of the 1920s for example). It can also be true that Yoga has deep cultural roots that extend far into the distant past. The parent does not 'reduce' Yoga to certain body poses - you are both effectively agreeing with each other that it is a malleable system that has modernised (significantly) over the past 100 years or so. I would love to know what a C19th Hatha Yoga practitioner from those illustrations would make of the explosion of different styles that have evolved today. I would hope that they and, say, Tim Senesei or Adrianne Mishler might be able to have an interesting (and respectful) conversation.

The point of EA is to prioritize E for people who want to be E, and to help people in general to make informed decisions.

If you think raising up your city or your country is unboundedly more important than raising up, say, Africa, then EA supports you making the best decision in that framework. But it's still silly that we expect everyone to independently evaluate charity choice in depth on, basically, the basis of their advertisement material. And people will usually either not care, or want to do the most good they can do, period. It's a rare case of a person who wants to do the most good they can for their country, but stops caring at the border.

> So if leading EA initiatives are dissuading (say) giving to electrify Africa because of a lack of efficacy data or wealth of existing funding, they might event be having a quantitative negative impact on those particular causes.

Well, yes, spending is zero sum. On the other hand, this creates an incentive to gather efficacy data, which I enormously welcome. The point isn't to maximize moneyflow to charity, the point is to maximize good things happening.

> an already exceptionally well-funded AI research project their friends work for whose impact on Microsoft's share price is much easier to quantify than their impact on preventing Hypothetical Cyberpunk Future

I don't understand what this means. At any rate, Microsoft share price is not generally seen as a negative. If a project that buys Microsoft compute nodes has positive value for the world, it would be stupid not to fund it just because doing so also happened to be good for Microsoft.

edit: Oh yeah, inasmuch as AI safety as a cause is well-funded now it's because of Effective Altruism raising the alarm to begin with - and AI capability research still outstrips it a hundred times over.

Frankly, what I'm seeing with EA is that ... like, Effective Altruism started out talking about maximizing the amount of good for the world, and the "weird AI people" were the ones who showed up. And it's not like it's a contradiction either, inasmuch as EA now focuses less on earning to give, it's because people like Bill Gates, once-leader of Microsoft, have Malaria handled. Focusing on tech people seems to have been very good for the Malaria cause. So to come in now, years later, and to say that EA shouldn't have focused on the weird AI thing because it might put off some other people who never gave a damn to begin with is almost insulting.
I found that article completely infuriating. I am not a young person, and I can tell you that I have never heard anything like the "myth" that the article posits. I'm sure that the actual historical Renaissance doesn't live up to the myths of cultural rebirth, but I have literally never heard anyone say anything about life expectancy, or lack of plague. If anything, when I picture the Renaissance, I picture it happening against a backdrop of wars between the Italian city-states, in an era of advances of military technology. To pick a pop culture example of this is "Da Vinci's Demons", which begins with Da Vinci inventing some kind of super-gun for use in a war within Italy.

Seeing this kind of fake myth constructed before my very eyes has made me wonder how many of these stories of "People used to think this stupid thing, but now we know better" I've fallen for over the years.
I don't know man.
I was really happy about DDG existing and making an effort (although I am not a user).

But they now clearly shifted from a "Noble Actor" to a "Competitor" with this aggressive marketing. I don't appreciate these marketing campaigns that are directed at the competition. I never liked the "I'm a Mac"-campaigns, nor the all the "Bing"-fearmongering.

It signals to me that you're not a fighter for a noble cause, letting the product speak for itself, but actually in for yourself in the first place. I'm rather turned off by this.
In what way is the site "optimized for privacy-respecting browsers" ? The browser is the thing being optimized. Does it mean to say that the website operators will intentionnaly not respect privacy of Chrome users but they will for Firefox ?

“Chrome users might experience issues” but what issues ? It reads like a dishonest TOS like the one used by service providers using catch-all statements to cover their backs.

It sounds like the old “optimized for Internet explorer and 837 by 394 resolution” for websites that were not optimized in any way but it was just the people behind it not able or unwilling to do better.
The market is how we find a compromise between tenants' desire for low rents and landlords' desire for high rents. I don't think you can say it optimizes for landlord profitability but it obviously also doesn't optimize for savings of renters. I agree that this is not perfect, but I think it's the fairest proxy we got. Attempts at regulating rents directly usually end up causing all sorts of unwanted side effects and make things worse for both tenants and landlords.

That said, I'm not opposed to the government building cheap housing. I think that's actually the best solution to an undersupply of housing.
Not in its current state - it becomes entirely unsuitable as soon as you need to have multiple instances (be it for scalability or availability).

Sqlite is inherently single instance. What really makes this an issue is that it doesn't work safely/reliably on distributed filesystems like GlusterFS and Ceph.

See here for example of a project that needs to be forked in order to not have data corruption on remote filesystems (it depends on the WAL mode AIUI): https://github.com/Sonarr/Sonarr/issues/1886

I really do hope that this will be addressed in a future version of Sqlite, which would at least allow running it on redundant network-attached storage.

But even if it is, you will still have issues once you want to scale horizontally for performance.

If you're building strictly in-house proprietary software, none of this really matters as you have full control. But if it's either FLOSS or otherwise to be operated by anyone else than the developer and their internal organization, SQLite is not suitable.

I die inside a bit every time I am expected to take responsibility for a software built on Sqlite.

I suppose we don't know exactly where it will end, but we do know that lots of strains are constantly developing resistance to more and more forms of antibiotics, and that it gets progressively more expensive to develop new antibiotics that still work.

According to wikipedia: "According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, three hundred and fifty million deaths could be caused by AMR by 2050"

If true, that would be >10million per year, on average, or 3x what covid has been doing over the last year.

The article misses to mention an important work on this topic. I mentioned it earlier on a different thread[1]; re-posting it:

Little over hundred years ago, the dashing Dutch Historian Johan Huizinga wrote a book called: "The Autumn of the Middle Ages", with the subtitle: "A study of the forms of life, thought and art in France and the Netherlands in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries".

In it, Huizinga attempts to debunk some myths about the Middle Ages:

"[...] Huizinga presents the idea that the exaggerated formality and romanticism of late medieval court society was a defense mechanism against the constantly increasing violence and brutality of general society. He saw the period as one of pessimism, cultural exhaustion, and nostalgia, rather than of rebirth and optimism."

The original English translation is hard to read as he refers to many paintings in it, but no pictures. Luckily, on the book's hundred-year anniversary in 2020, a new, English translation (a tad expensive, though) with 300 full-colour illustrations was released[2].
