"If everyone is slandered then nobody is slandered because the narrative becomes the Web is shit so you can't anyway trust what people write online."

Basically how everyone looks at news / journalism on tv and the net then?

Looking at the 'news feed' on yahoo is not much different than the old enquirer fake news tabloids of the grocery stores in times past.. yet people sometimes cling to "this is the way it is.. I saw it on the web" - even though I think deep down they know they only get half the story / not half the truth.. with any organization online.

So it's entertainment to shame the 'others' and some people take it pretty hard when the 'others' shame their allies.. yep, not hard to imagine at this point sadly.

I long for a browser extension that follows my choice of editors to remove all huffposts and many individual authors / 'journalists' / editors from portals / socials / etc - even then the truth will not be complete and much of what is not true will still entertain/influence/stir up anger, etc.

once we get more deepfakes across the net I think people will finally start to see it for what it is - all one big enquirer trying to get eyeballs and clicks and as just as trustworthy.

Although - some people have started to say things like 'if it wasn't true fbook would remove it - or put a notice on it - and they haven't so it' probably true' - similar with google I guess - ugh.

If google / fb continues to censor, fix and filter - it could have a similar opposite effect. Ok we need a button on google to show unfiltered.

More unfinished thoughts it seems.
Arizona has fab construction expertise, engineers and cheap workers.

You have to put your new fab someplace useful or you have to import everybody.

So, that cuts the number of places to a handful in the US.

Texas, because TI, AMD, NXP nee Freescale nee Motorola. Idaho, because Micron. Oregon, because Intel. Arizona, because Intel and NXP. New York, because IBM. California, because everybody.

If you're not doing massive R&D at the fab, you want cheap workers more than you want location to universities. That knocks out California and New York.

As we just found out, Texas has weather so maybe not a great place for a 24/7 fab.

Can you imagine TSMC personnel dealing with winter? So, probably not Idaho.

So, Oregon or Arizona. I suspect Oregon is more expensive than Arizona in the places you want to put a fab.

The irony is that some parts of the United States had great rail connections in the past, and they were torn up to make way for roads.

The front range of Colorado, for example, had trains everywhere in the late 1800s. It was the way to get between Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Boulder, Golden, and other cities on the front range.

Now they're trying to build a rail link between Denver and Boulder, and it's costing a fortune and running into all kinds of NIMBYism and bureaucracy.

I'd love to see it, but the way it's going I'm skeptical it will ever beat out the RTD buses.

Well... in theory they are limited that way. In practice they can do whatever they want and chock up the discrepancies to "mistakes" in applying the law. Then the loser has to spend thousands on an appeal to get a chance at justice. Also, any investigation into those "mistakes" and any true misconduct are usually so protected that their secrecy outweigh your right to any exculpatory evidence contained in them. Makes you wonder how widespread the mistakes and misconduct are that they want to keep it a secret...
Maybe the people at Twitter can read this and learn something.
Yikes. I understand.
I think, the biggest issue with UML is that it helps with things that doesn't need such a ceremony and doesn't help in things where you would need it.

Modeling database structures, class diagrams, interactions between components is usually something, any senior developer can do on a napkin without all the hassle, certifications, $500+ per seat tools and unique terminology.

The trickiest things are designed much better, when you just open REPL and start playing with the design until you get it down. It's highly creative, speculative and flexible. So exactly the opposite of UML.

In programming, the most exciting parts are things you couldn't productively solve with UML.

And calling diagrams Masala is a huge misunderstanding why people mix contexts, views and representations. This is that creative, speculative and flexible part you exactly need.
Interestingly, that decline of 27% happened in...two weeks. The 65K peak was around April 13th.
The top 7 on Defi Pulse (1) are currency exchanges ("liquidity pools") and overcollateralized loans, which are mostly used by speculators to get leverage. Useful, I guess. But enormous — only in monetary terms.

I'm honestly not sure how I feel about the privacy concerns.

On the one hand I do very much support privacy in many areas. Facebook is a cancer that seeks to spy on me every second of the day and needs to be regulated for that reason. People need privacy for a lot of very important reasons.

On the other, I'm not sure how I feel about privacy in financial matters. Do people's salaries need to be secret? Yes, having other people's financial information is an advantage in negotiations, but wouldn't that even out if you both knew more about each other's finances? And make lots of other negotiations easier too.

Edit: I'm actually not sure it's a valid privacy state to conceal how many people have COVID in your household. It think that information being public has a lot of value and I don't know if I support privacy in that case. Where they were when the caught it is a dangerous thing to leak. But I don't see any reason to conceal it. Certainly, I wouldn't want COVID+ people around me, and I wouldn't want them hiding their status to sneak back to work and continue the pandemic either. "I am currently under quarantine" seems like an important message that needs to be broadcasted.

Unsurprising that someone who, from their bio, "splits their time between Seattle and London" is against this idea.

The economic effects of climate change will be more catastrophic than making it take longer to move internationally, something that very very few people actually have a need to do.

I addressed it in my first paragraph but, to repeat, a smart contract is a self-provable receipt.

In addition, I don't see how you read my statement and came away with the idea that I support vigilante justice or anarcho-capitalism. My questions were pointed towards addressing the unstated assumptions inherent to your question and the other questions in your post that I didn't quote. Namely, that a centralized authority or agreement of centralized authorities is a requirement to render any transaction/contract/agreement valid. That's an assumption I find to be unproven and easily contested.
I just used the Firefox version of Slack a few minutes ago.

Playpens aren’t designed for 3 year olds. Now because you didn’t use your brain in this instance, it’s your fault the child dies because your a bad parent. You should have known that 3 years old are too old for playpens.

This is your logic. You already failed the test before becoming a parent. You would be a ‘bad parent’ in your own words.
This is accurate and well said.
> huge difference between a zero to one tooling effort and an N to N+1 tooling effort

Spot on. There's a serious point of diminishing returns when piling up tools.

At some point the cost of learning, adapting, deploying, maintaining yet another tool becomes a net negative.

Often the solution is to replace 5 fancy tools with 100 lines of Python and Bash.
I think it is not the age per se, but rather the lifestyle changes that usually come with age.

How many responsibilities are you keeping on your mind? It used to be "school", which is relatively simple: you do the lessons and maybe homework, and spend 2 days before the exam learning. There is a lot of free time and attention to explore and learn new things. Also, the school automatically provides a social environment of people facing the same problems as you do; but at the same time, many of them are willing to discuss school-unrelated topics with you.

Now "work" is more complicated, because on one hand you need to do the work you are assigned, but at the same time you also need to make long-term decisions about your career. (It is possible to get into a blind alley by doing whatever the company needs from you... only to find out one day that your current project is finished, and your knowledge is obsolete, because you focused too much on finishing the old project which used old technologies, and didn't pay enough attention to learn the new ones. Oh my, this may actually look pretty bad on your CV.) You have fewer colleagues than you had classmates, and most of them are probably working on other projects. Most of your colleagues are probably not interested in your work-unrelated interests. But you have fewer time to socialize with people who are not your colleagues.

When you have kids, this introduces a new set of duties: how to feed them, how to play with them, the choice of kindergarten and school, etc. Even less free time.

The problem is that when you find some interesting thing, it becomes more difficult, sometimes completely impossible, to dedicate some time to think only about that thing and nothing else. At school, you can spend half of your weekdays and full weekends doing whatever you want. With job, it becomes evening when you are tired, plus weekends. With kids, it's maybe 30 minutes every night after the kids are sleeping, and no time during weekend; it depends on your situation, what kind of babysitting is available, etc. Of course it is harder to get enthusiastic about something that you barely have any time to do, and definitely no long uninterrupted blocks of time.

It's not just that duties take away your time, but also the fact that they are present in the background of your mind even when you are not actively working on them. It's always the "shouldn't I be doing X instead?" or "only 30 minutes left, then I have to turn this off and do X instead". That distracts and takes away the joy.

Its not caused by lack of housing, the people on the street are incapable of supporting themselves much less maintaining a dwelling - have you ever been here? Our homeless are mostly drug-seeking tourists who are from elsewhere.

The Reagan canard is also just that; The Supreme court ruling sought by the ACLU during the Carter administration is why people are out on the street, the govt can't legally commit people like that anymore.

Evictions are hard here for the same reasons that its trivial to get fentanyl in front of the federal building that houses the DEA - failed govt policy.
Make DRM free versions available for download? Music has had to go that route so that people can 'own' their downloads.

Maybe a self-hosted auth server of some kind is possible?

Adobe recently stopped letting you install CS3 even if you have the CDs because they took the auth server down. Do you think there was a reasonable expectation that when someone paid thousands of dollars for those discs, that they 'owned' them and had the right to install them repeatedly on their own computers?

>https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite.html

>You can no longer reinstall Creative Suite 2, 3 or 4 even if you have the original installation disks. The aging activation servers for those apps had to be retired.

Looks like they just added CS4 to the list...which is still usable software (and in fact offers features that are currently unavailable!)
Now that we're finally pulling out of Afghanistan and done with the War on Terror, it's time to disband DHS / TSA and put things back to how they used to be.

I think it's kinda weird how very few politicians are talking about this.
I'll never understand how the American system of government is meant to work. You've got a legislature that typically fails to legislate, an executive that sometimes does the legislature's job, and a judiciary that can randomly step in and write both laws and decrees as long as someone brings the case before them.

I hasten to note that many of everyone's favorite decisions came out of this process, so it seems to work. But from a civil law background, it just looks bizarre. Why would anyone design a system like this?
Judges aren't kings. In the United States there is a separation of powers for a reason. Skid Row is a failure of the executive and legislative branches in California. California voters have perpetuated this failure by continually re-electing them.

The last part is why so much money is in it. Everyone remembers how everyone said dot.com was over in 2002 when the biggest dot.coms were yet to come. Everyone remembers when everyone laughed at Tesla and SpaceX. Everyone remembers Bitcoin at $1.

There is a hell of a lot of FOMO around.

There are also record low interest rates not just in the USA but globally, and that is inflating every asset at once.

If there is a crash I don’t think it will just be cryptocurrency. It will be broad and deep.

Swift on the server might make sense for an Apple-only full-stack developer, who wants to remain Apple-only, who is happy with the Swift development experience on the frontend, and who is willing to bet their backend on Apple's developer support.

(I'd use Rust, Flask, Node, Go, Scheme, Elixir, or a variety of other platforms/approaches first.)
I wouldn't hire someone without telling them plenty about where they will work. You don't have to guess what the workplace is like by decoding my questions. You are certainly welcome to, but the obvious danger is that you will get something wrong. A mature person would just ask, and that's the type of person I would want to hire.

It sounds like you're one of those managers who wants supplicants, not applicants.

Absolutely not. I want human beings with whom I can have a good relationship with, based in communication. I definitely don't want to hire a robot who is making important assumptions based on questionable (and totally wrong) heuristics, and Not bothering to ask simple questions.

So yeah, someone applying a weird algorithm to the questions I'm asking them isn't going to be a good fit.
"You are probably not a Christian, but you have a large Christian population and that they allow this to happen just highlights the hypocrisy of the entire idea of the United States."

Is it practically possible to create GUI application for MacOS without using XCode?

This was years ago. it was bare metal. The answer was that it got the exe from the build machine which it was running from. It knew where to deploy as we were on bare metal and used consul to list the hosts.
I can see what you mean but its not so black white to me. My stance is in the middle, somewhere in between large corrections and nothing at all.

I see progress as a series of under corrections, like a pendulum swinging back and forth, eventually settling into a neutral middle state.
It can, but it really depends on the personalities of you and your partner. It works best if your partner also has some independent work they need to get done (or enjoy doing, ex a hobby).
Sometimes these magical sequences are really just a set of hoops you send your users through so they will actually do what you want them to do (unplug machine for 60 seconds, plug back in). Otherwise they'll half-ass it and miss the simple fix.
Thanks, good idea!
In that case I don't understand what are those plans for that major high-speed rail on the west coast about. If this is "the best available route" for a major north-south railway along the US west coast, then those high-speed rail plans are a pipe dream, surely?

As for Albania, you know how to pick the one part of Europe where train service is crap - anything from Bosnia southeastwards in http://emptypipes.org/supp/isochrone_zagreb/. Pretty much any other direction is perfectly serviceable and vastly better connected. Apparently you can get sooner to Paris from Zagreb by train that to any of Albania. Is the US west coast due to its geography a similar uniquely bad place?
I agree. I am very curious how the .NET environment develops. The CLR is much more embeddable. Unity3D chose C# for a reason. Blazor is another interesting promising .NET technology. Considering Microsoft's engagement in Open Source I can imagine they are able to overtake the role of Java in the long run.
Atlassian.
Unclear. From what I can tell people seem to think that letting people languish/die on the street by choice is the right thing to do. I'd prefer that we look at addiction as a disease and a public health risk and that we get those people off the street - either into treatment or into the justice system because of the crimes they commit to maintain their addictions. If you look at what a lot of european countries do - they force people off the streets, while thats not very legal here, maybe that is what we should do.
"Ideally this would be coming from the legislature"

You mean legally?
I'll echo this sentiment; I did full-time C# development for work for two years and it was a dream. Nowadays I do a combo of Java and TypeScript and find myself constantly wishing I was just back in C# land where it takes the best bits of each language.
I'd be very interested in reading more about high-meat countries having lower cancer. That contradicts my current understanding, but I'd definitely be willing to revise my position if it turns out meat isn't involved in colorectal cancer.

There are things you enjoy, and there are things you get paid for, but if you try to do both at the same time sometimes the result is a compromise that is neither paid well nor enjoyable.

A key thing to keep in mind is that the US is one of the oldest among modern democracies, and the Constitution and the way the government was structured was entirely novel at the time. Other countries then had the mistakes of the US to learn from when implementing their own democratic systems.
They absolutely did have a concept of people who are different, it just did not mean what “race” means today per se. A list of some of the ethnic groups or nationalities can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_groups_in_Chinese_histo.... The authors larger and more interesting point is that the all encompassing “Han” ethnic group that is said to make up a majority of people in mainland China is mostly a myth.

I'm not well versed when it comes to poetry, but I happen to have read a lot of Pessoa's work (mostly Álvaro de Campos) and it is very touching. I'd go as far to say that it's worth learning Portuguese (a very hard language) just so you can read Pessoa's texts without the translation.
