Humans are lazy. It would be more effort, after constructing their argument, to actually sit down and test that the argument passes a basic sense test. So, they don't. And most of the people reading (and upvoting to signal "I agree") won't either. Why should they? They agree with it, there's no sense in fact checking things you agree with, right?

You can see this in the recent Google 2FA threads too, lots of people were quite sure Google is doing this to get their phone numbers. The facts don't line up with that, but who has time for facts? They know they're right, and so do the people upvoting. If you point out the facts a handful of confused people might agree, yeah, what you're saying does seem to match reality, but that's no match for the self-assurance of those who haven't checked at all.

Much of the time you can get a long way on just lots of people believing you, without any basis in reality. But Mother Nature couldn't care less what you believe, and it's tricky for people who think this way to sense where the line will be until they've stepped over it.

Better versions of the (apocryphal) story of King Cnut the Great can get this across. The courtiers pretend to believe their King's claim to command the sea, but the sea of course couldn't give a shit, it's just water, it obeys Mother Nature's laws (in this case Gravity via a fairly circuitous process causes Tides) but not the whims of men.

Place Cell/Grid Cells/Head Cells/etc... might be not mapping space but cortex location (i.e., the "where" in the hippocampal complex isn't referring to physical space but from/to cortex location the "when" is recalled or should be stored).

Barbour’s thesis is that the Big Bang, which he calls the Janus Point, seeded the flow of time in two directions. Time “no longer has one direction, from past to future, but instead has two: from a common past at the Janus point to two futures in the two directions away from it,” Barbour writes.

That’s not really what it’s about. It’s about if they can do that and throw out competing apps doing the same thing. Or if you will have the ability to choose an other app if you don’t like google.

Of cause integration and ease of use become harder if there’s multiple networks and apps, but that’s separate from the question if they should be allowed by google.

Do you intend to use the GPU for rendering with Cycles? This isn't possible with current versions of Blender on macOS as Nvidia has stopped development of the CUDA toolkit for macOS and Apple has deprecated the OpenCL compiler. Since Cycles doesn't yet support Metal you cannot use GPU rendering on macOS. It is planned though and there are improvements being made with the Cycles X project. It is possible to use other render engines that support Metal though.
More importantly, you can use the mature ecosystem around Java (tools, libraries and so on).

I've got some bad news for you: Tesla died in 1943.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Tesla#Death
https://www.moh.gov.sg/news-highlights/details/24-new-cases-... has the cases, with vaccination information.

I think there's not enough information there to make conclusions about the vaccines. There's roughly a million vaccinated people in Singapore, a small number of people that are vaccinated and still get sick is expected even with very efficacious vaccines.
I tried driving licence (at least the ones who popped up for me made it very clear they aren't government affiliated) and national insurance number. The national insurance one was pretty much an outright scam.

It took me to https://nino.org.uk/ which claims "All employers and universities in the UK will require you to have this number so apply for your NI Number NOW." That is a total lie - if you don't work during your time as a student you don't need the number at all. You can work without a national insurance number, you just will may pay a higher tax rate until you get your national insurance number when you'll get a refund. It only says all the way at the bottom that they are not affiliated with the government.
I think the Scala 3 book [1] might be what you're looking for!

There's also an ongoing video series called "Let's talk about Scala 3" by the Scala Center and 47 Degrees [2], which are more in-depth on certain topics, but still quite beginner-friendly. Especially the video on setting up a development environment, and the video on Scala 3's data structures might be good introductions.

I much prefer them to the Black and Tans. Scott's will be much better off being part of the EU. It'll be difficult for some businesses to adjust in the long term considering how strongly they're tied to the South economically. But the short term looks terrible anyway no matter what course they take. And the argument of independence becomes even stronger considering there is a) legal base for it and b) the South will anyway end up isolating itself so much from the rest of the world that the economic argument isn't much of a reward in contrast to EU membership (at least not in the long run)

Have you ever heard of Aumann's Agreement Theorem? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aumann%27s_agreement_theorem

If scientists are looking at the same data and the same set of facts, then they cannot disagree.

Back when Hong Kong health authorities were warning about 14 days of asymptomatic spread, Chinese authorities had already placed multiple cities under martial law and set up concentration camps for infected people. It's absurd that the West was still in a "wait-and-see" mindset.
brushless electric motors spin using magnets rather than pistons, so there are less required moving parts to get the one moving part (the shaft) that you actually want.
It opens the door for more peer-to-peer distribution in the future.

Imagine if every Guix system published their builds (as an opt-out setting). Then even if you modify a package's build options, a few other people might have made the exact same modification and you can download the built artifact from them.
I agree, and if you consider Private Eye in particular, they make the New Yorker or The Atlantic look like the Proust. Having said that, the British periodical landscape is sorely lacking a good centrist/apolitical current affairs publication in the American style.

Electric motors, just like any other motor have moving parts. End of discussion. Their purpose is to move things.

Less moving parts doesn't mean "practically no moving parts", as the idiotic article claims.

Coincidentally, the brushes which wear out on DC engines are not moving, it's the commutators that move and wear out the brushes...

...but cars use BLDC motors (which are induction motors or variants thereof) and not DC motors anyway... Brushed DC motors are only used by forklifts and similar equipment (although more recently they started to move to brushless designs too).

A DC motor and an induction motor have the same number of moving parts. It's not the number of moving parts that matter, but the fact that moving parts don't have to touch each other.
There was a genre of Daily Mail comment where Brits who'd immigrated to Spain complained about the number of immigrants in the UK.

I can think of plenty cases where I would want to limit the input space of a function to a known set of literals.

Just as an example; the `document.getContext` [0] api takes a string argument to select the context canvas.

Without literal types, you cannot enforce this to a set of valid values. Literal types gives you the power to tell the compiler, which values are valid.

Since there are other programming languages that support literal types, it's not just Scala sophistry. :-P

The same of what happens in a regular bank run, cash conversions are delayed.

That being said, the comparison is not totally fair.

In the regular fiat banking system a bank run, the withdrawal of most deposits, destroys a bank because it fails to meet the reserves ratios mandated by the system.

In the case of Tether there no such requirement and the reserves are liquid enough to meet the withdrawal requests in about a month - at least 2 workdays days for cash-like reserves liquidations, 2 workdays days to wire to cash to exchanges. Non-cash-like reserves might take longer but 2 weeks should be enough. Since Tether reserves aren't that being on each asset class and overall market probably won't trigger their own reservers depreciation.

That being said the actual exchange rate on the exchanges will this happen will drop because people will panic sell and not wait for Tether company to meet their sell orders at 1USD.
Really cool project! I initially was planning on using WASM for running avionics in my project too (it's browser based so seemed like a good fit) because the amount of language choices that WASM gives you is pretty great. But my current plan is now to run the user's code through a sandboxed compiler in order to execute it. For each 20ms step, vehicle telemetry is passed in to stdin and system control commands are read from stdout.

I've starred your project on GitHub and will definitely check it out in detail later! It's so great to see other projects that explore this space!
My theory is that since those crimes are non violent, there is a silent approval, as long as there is no massive public outrage and associated PR costs for a government.
The reasoning is that the cost to the society is lower than if you were going to process those people through legal system and then keep them in jail.

If these crimes were costing the society more than keeping perpetrators locked up then situation would have changed.
Another reason is that some people, by their nature, just cannot have a "normal" job and so they hustle. If you take away non-violent options, then there is a chance they'd turn to something violent to achieve their goals and that would be costly.

Yep, I agree. Even though it's normal on mobile devices, it's weird behavior for the web. Given the way flutter is designed (sharable code base, eVeRyThInG iS a WiDgEt), I don't see an easy and obvious solution here.
The whole modern banking system is run in the same way. Private banks create money as loans, but they are backstopped by the Fed and there's the FDIC insurance up to a certain amount. Tether might also create money but there's big additional risk because it doesn't have access to the Fed.
You are not entitled to any welfare as merely an immigrant. If you are a visa holder, it will usually be stamped with "no recourse to public funds". If you are undocumented, obviously you have no means to claim anything.

Asylum seekers get £40 a week. https://www.gov.uk/asylum-support/what-youll-get

People complaining about immigrants claiming welfare have usually been lied to by the press about the applicable situation.
I think it has a lot to do with expectations and how they need to change in light of such an event.

In 2017 there were no commercial passenger jet deaths - that's how amazingly safe these machines are. Any such crash casts doubt on this idea.

Imagine the difference between "literally perfectly safe" and "can (rarely) cause death".

Same with events like 9/11 - no one going to work that day expected to die like this just hours later.

Pneumonia has a death rate of up to 10% among hospitalized patients(mostly older folks), so people who drop off their parent at the hospital are often already mentally preparing for the worst.
Yeah, I think a cron job to move/rsync is the most robust method.

This is correct, though the inline feature does also unlock some optimizations. For instance, see this example from the docs where a recursive method is optimized to a few sequential commands when some of its parameters are constants:

http://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/metaprogramming/inline.h...

This effectively makes it possible to have a limited form of partial evaluation.

Look it's always been known since the very early days of Wuhan crisis that masks will significantly reduce spread and risk (from past smaller pandemics & the nature of transmission of this virus). The various health organizations simply decided to prioritize supply for the medical community till production could ramp up by making statements that dissuade people from panic buying (as happened with say Toilet paper and flour later). While it's understandable, it doesn't make the early statements not "lies" and erosion in trust is a consequence.

This is just making clear and easy to use something that people did using some type level magic (see shapeless Witness).

We have a lot of research into mask use, both to protect the wearer and to protect people around the wearer.

Can you point to any that you think CDC should have been using to support mask wearing in the general public?

You can argue about the level of evidence required (organisations like CDC strongly prefer well run meta analyses or a bunch of RCTs), but to say "it's always been known" simply isn't true.
In my experience, you will find this kind of org uses Office365/Outlook, and not Gsuite/Gmail, as they have in place a commercial agreement with Microsoft which covers regulatory requirements put upon them (and some they put upon themselves).

Of course they could _try_ to get an agreeable contract in place with Google, but Microsoft is Enterprise-friendly and can make this happen much more readily.

> That’s surprising if your app spent most of the time in database calls, since 1) native code is still faster than pypy and 2) most of the time spent in database libraries is spent waiting for the database to return

I would argue a speedup (though maybe not a “massive” one) from pure python over a native extension is not that surprising, specifically because of (2), which makes it possible for the runtime-extension interface overhead to be more significant than (1). Native extensions tend to give a speed boost for computationally intensive tasks, but can’t really wait any faster, and aren’t free of overhead.
