I am slightly more pessimistic than you. I would expect it to wreak havoc with power grids. There will be widespread power outages. As you say, the protection devices should limit the amount of serious damage, though there will be some. I expect it will take some time to restore power, though, as there will be many places where things need to be manually reset: hours to days. A few unlucky places may be without power for weeks.

Electronics will largely be unaffected unless through bad luck of being connected without adequate protection to something else that suffers a surge (mains power or wired communications).

Nobody cares about hottub streamers.

We care about your idiotic double standards and banning of streamers.
every streamer? Hard disagree, I see feet commonly and never never even heard of this.
Is being at a beach sexually suggestive? I think they're making a good point here by making this distinction include overtly and explicitly.

We've grown into a society where nudity (or near nudity) is equated with sexual suggestiveness by default... and it seems strange.
To me, your argument amounts to: you are rich enough to afford something, but poor people are not, so buying something unaffordable to the poor is a bad thing to do.

If anything, if 50% of the neighborhood has this subscription, and you are too poor to afford it, you can freeload on the enhanced security.

I do agree it is dystopian to require money for basic protection, and that this would not be collectively provided with tax money. Less if the protection is just enhanced (compare basic healthcare vs. being able to afford a private clinic).

If it was possible, I'd like to pay more taxes, then vote (could be democratic, not scaled to amount paid) on where it goes. If the neighborhoods really are problematic, then maybe the local government could hire on-demand security forces for when their police capacity is low (and hold them accountable and to government standards).
A lot of acquaintances have asked me for help fixing their computers, or advice on buying a computer, or help setting up their smart TV, or email on their smart phone. Some have asked me to build apps or websites for them. All expecting help for free.

Some people have asked to use my truck, or asked for help loading a moving van.

I have asked for free legal advice, tax advice, help installing flooring, help loading a moving van. I have borrowed a neighbor's truck.

I have asked for tons of help debugging code or learning some new concept.

Sometimes I have turned people down who asked for help. I am grateful to the hundreds of people who have helped me in ways big and small. I understand when people can't. For the most part, I am happy to lend out my truck on occasion. While it is getting used, I'm probably using a browser for free on an operating system for free.

A while back I was using a park "for free" when I noticed a family I know working together to pick up all the trash. I know they weren't being paid. They're just super cool like that.

Sometimes it just feels great to be super cool in some small way. Some people go out of their way to feel like that at least twice per month.
I don't know what your definition of a "very low" threshold is, but it's much lower than mine. If you're Uber or Amazon, Rails isn't going to work for you. But that's fine because 99.9% of companies in existence don't fall into that category. I realize everyone wants to be the next <insert huge company here>, but the reality is a) you probably won't be; and b) given that you won't be, stuff like fixing poor caching strategies and inefficient queries are going to give you an order of magnitude more performance/buck than choosing <insert framework/language here> over Rails.
These aren't practical or realistic use cases, though, and many are already covered by the existing private security industry.

An uber ride is cheaper than hiring private security to walk you through the hood. An elderly asian person is more likely to die crossing the road to a bank than be robbed at a bank. Urban photographers who wouldn't already be operating with a small crew are probably too broke to hire a bodyguard, nor is there some big wave or urban photographers being targeted currently. Chances are if that gear is your work its also already insured. The store owner probably already hires private security for not much more than minimum wage, and in the case of a looting, chances are the store owner would rather you go home and have insurance pay for the damages, than deal with the legal headache of their hired gun potentially killing someone in their store. Keep in mind when D.C. police who were defending the capitol building faced a mob, they allowed them to breach the building. I doubt private security is going to stick out their neck for your little shop more than D.C. police did for the U.S. capitol. You probably aren't hiring Blackwater mercenaries. The owner of the bar is paying their bouncers under the table already, the last thing they want is some pricey contract for a job they are already getting done just fine.
These arbitrary checkpoints also generate a steady stream of trivial "security incidents" just by existing, which for the paranoid owners is taken as evidence for their necessity, and they double down.

Building the v2.0 tag (or even master) using docker does not:

E: The repository 'http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu eoan-security Release' does not have a Release file.

And just bumping the image tag to ":groovy" caused subsequent silliness, so this project is obviously only for folks who enjoy fighting with build systems (and that matches my experience of anything in the world that touches Numpy and friends)
You may be interested in listening to this [1]. Both of you have a very shallow and, frankly, rather naive understanding of what happened there. It will likely shock you to learn what you were told about that event is not at all honest, to put it nicely.

There also seems to be rather expansive holes in both of your understandings about what the Oklahoma city Bombing was really about. I can't find the episode of the Scott Horton Show / Antiwar.org at the moment, but here is a very long primer [2] on the extremely suspect and irregular events surrounding the OKC bombing. Bonus: the head of the investigation of the OKC bombing was none other than Merrick Garland the current AG that is apparently going to now unleash a wholesale police surveillance state on us all that I bet many think will not target them … for now.

Yes, with lots of extra ceremony around it. (More than is needed, since it doesn't seem to realize that it will always process exactly 16 loop iterations.)

Since you've posted a lot along the lines of "these optimizations don't even make a difference", you might want to see if Clang's safer-looking version is as fast as GCC's.
Probably it comes from the fact that humans are so naturally attracted to things sexual in nature, that without controls the whole world would look like the seediest red light district you can imagine. With everyone competing to be more and more extreme to get attention.

It's the same unholy transformation every company goes through. Creating a company from nothing usually takes heart and soul. Once a company is established you stop needing the true believers. You stop needing the love. Love and maximizing profits are not compatible. I'll bet if you had data on the number of Twitch t-shirts sold over the last five years it would be a steady decline. Almost any company built on appealing to a specific demographic will choose to genericize itself if it can.

It makes a lot of money but I find it terribly sad.
tl;dr: no ban. new category (pools, hot tubs and beaches).

The revenue model of hot tub streamers is herding simps and sending them to their onlyfans via one level of indirection like twitter.

> I don’t know anyone who uses the smart features in their TV

Because the current generation of TV buyers are used to the concept of purchasing separate hardware to deliver content. That is changing now.

I had a similar realization about streaming v piracy. 15 years ago everybody my age was pirating music and TV. It led to a lot of viruses and malware for some, but everybody more or less knew where to go to for that stuff, even as P2P networks were being shut down left and right.

Today, young people don't really do that. Spotify, YT and Netflix apparently fixed enough UX and content gap issues that torrents and stuff aren't considered necessary anymore.

The same will happen with TVs.
They don't want to be a porn site. The problem they have is that the porn content drives away advertisers and non-porn related contant. So they have to steer away from porn, but wherever they draw the line there are going to be people testing the line, and there's an audience for it. So the compromise they've clearly come up with is they don't allow porn, but if you happen to be sexy wearing practically nothing, that's fine - as long as it's got some pretext of not being porn, because porn is what will kill their non-porn related business.
I don’t think not needing a portable generator on small construction sites is going to be a big driver of sales.

Sales will be driven by the same factors as Tesla’s, no c02 emissions, don’t have to buy gas. Everything else is bonus
It's a slippery slope. There are a lot of things that are intentionally sexual suggestive in society that we don't bat an eye at such as makeup, push-up bras, and yoga pants. When will they start banning these things?
Strings, dates, floating point, even true and false are messy in some languages.
Isn't it obvious? The advertisers don't want to advertise on a camsite, those are available elsewhere.

Trying to document and define "I'll know it when I see it" is an NP-complete problem, and this won't be the end of it.
I’m glad that they actually fixed the issue instead of just deciding to use a workaround, like copy/paste Ś from another application.
A phone interview with someone at a telecom company that was looking for programmers. I answered his questions and was told I did well and was invited to their headquarters. I then asked if their procedure for teenagers were different than for "adults". The guy said "Wait, how old are you?". I was 15 at the time, and he said they couldn't do that.

That was a long time ago. Nature fixed that problem for me. (I'm not in the U.S.).
I've been considering a trailer. Problem is it's annoying to store; I don't have a lot of space and hate it out in the open.

You are to the point where you know what CSS can do, and can work your way through building out UIs. From here it's about adopting a system, and a system that will work well with your needs.

Are you building in a react environment? Are you building WordPress websites? Are you just building simple landing pages? Are you building in a team environment? These could all have different solutions, they could also use similar solutions.

But you need to decide how you want to think about CSS. Which to me, is atomic vs component driven.

Atomic is building small reusable classes, then use those classes everywhere in your HTML. It keeps things consistent. [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) is the winner of this race at the moment. Lots of people are moving to it. There are solutions for standard CSS, SCSS, or even working with it in React type environments.

Component driven is how I think of BEM, "Block Element Modifier". Break things into reusable components, keep your naming structure consistent according to BEM specs.

I personally prefer BEM type of process (break your pieces into components), but with usage of utility classes also, these can be thought of as atomic (one use, like text-align: center;).

I'm going to try Tailwind on a project soon (I've been following it for years), but I will still think of it in a BEM type structure. Things get messy in atomic when you have complex UIs that have different needs across device sizes. I personally have a hard time looking at HTML when one element could have 10+ classes on it if you go pure atomic.

I've kept things consistent without Tailwind with my own set of config (for things like colors, units, font stacks, z-index stack, etc), then various helper functions for things like keeping breakpoints consistent.

There are lots of great resources (look up atomic css and BEM css), you should browse through many of them to get a well rounded picture of how people work with CSS.

But figuring out how you want to think about CSS and putting a system around it seems like where you are. I recommend trying various methods out, and see what works best for you. Just be flexible if you are in a team environment. A team sticking to a defined standard (even if it isn't your favorite) is better than lots of competing standards.
I never used Twitch before the pandemic -- watching people play games was never really my thing. But then I discovered the entire second use of Twitch, streaming music. Since March 2020, it's been possible to find someone streaming music at pretty much any time of day.

One day I was watching around 2am Pacific time, and the stream ended. I was looking for another one when I saw someone in the music category with 13,000 viewers (most DJs don't crack 1000). So I went to check it out.

It was a hot tub streamer holding a guitar while she thanked people for their tips and subs. In the 10 minutes I watched, she never once played anything.

I was fascinated by the fact that she had so many people basically just watching her in a hot tub and giving her money. She wasn't doing anything compelling.

To each their own, but I had no idea there were so many people on the internet willing to pay for such a thing.
> (They still run ads on her stream, but she doesn’t get any of the proceeds, if I understand it.)

In what universe is this an acceptable outcome for a TOS violation?
Hasn’t the business model been either top-notch gaming or this, the soft core porn niche? I mean, most women streaming on twitch are using their looks and body for viewership. It’s the oldest play in the book. It’s all over YouTube as well (show a girl in a thong, get a million views). Twitch should just create a NSFW/Verified 18+ section and be done with it. I think the real issue is with advertisers. They don’t want to be associated with porn or even suggestive content. Twitch won’t police their platform so people are going to continue meeting the “bare minimum” definition and argue they are following the rules.
Yes, it would be immense. Many gifs have been used for user interface elements and such a change would break that completely.
Exactly what do you imagine the hypothetical service's response would be?
A lot of cars (rather than trucks) sold in the US either aren't rated to tow at all, or are rated to tow much less than the same car sold in other countries. For instance, a 2005 Subaru Forester is rated to tow 2400 lbs (1088 kg) in the US, but 1800 kg in Europe.

The reason for this is different countries have different ideas of trailer safety- the US prioritizes allowing larger total weights to be towed at higher speeds, but Europe prioritizes allowing people to tow larger trailers with smaller cars.

The European approach is to have less weight on the tongue of the trailer, which allows a smaller car to tow more without being overloaded, but results in a less dynamically stable configuration. They compensate for this by having lower speed limits for trailers and additional licensing requirements for drivers towing heavy trailers.

The twitter account BestOfNextDoor is a pretty good and funny highlight of the paranoid lunacy that you get there:

Personally, I prefer to think of my neighbors as a bit kinder than their reality. I've since deleted the app and my head is firmly buried in the sand.
> As someone that owns a truck, I actually recommend this to a lot of people

So they don't constantly ask to borrow you and your truck? ;)
> Think of it like a website that is specifically designed for a specific individual to take a specific action, which answers any questions or objections they may have.

OK that’s quite a philosophical description for a platform to conveniently share sales pitches.
They are maybe 40-50% lower. Does this move the needle for climate change? No. And it’s not just lifetime car emissions. It’s the car dependent life that cars require

I had one of these when I was in my early twenties. I had been trying to locate a persistent crash that seemed to occur randomly in a modem terminal written in 6502 assembly.

I'd been at this non-stop for weeks, and had been just working and sleeping, poring over and over the code with no clue. As I remember it, one night I was dreaming that the code was slowly scrolling up a screen in front of me, and one line was colored red. I woke up at that point and knew what the problem was. I think I just got dressed and went directly into work rather than try to go back to sleep.

Since then, I've had fresh insights after sleeping on a problem and coming back in the next day, but I've never had another instance of my brain saying "It's right here, you idiot!" to me in a dream.
I predict the demise of this company when one of their entitled rent-a-cops gets 2nd Amendmented for harassing people without legal authority.
My favorite part about this page is how all the ads and popups work correctly, but the article is cut off and unreadable. Welcome to the web.
Aside from the "I know it when I see it"[0] angle, here are my thoughts.

Long, long ago, I dabbled in content hosting, and still sometimes daydream about doing business along those lines. When it comes to the thought of my hypothetical service hosting purely sexual content it's not due to any puritanism that I'd prefer that my platform have rules against it.

Sexual content (ie. porn) brings with it regulatory burdens, potential public scrutiny, a large revenue stream that might end up incentivizing product development detrimental to the service's original purpose, and from a marketing perspective it might cause the public to associate your service with certain kinds of content (see: Tumblr) which limits your growth options.

It seems to me that Twitch so far isn't seeing the drawbacks I just listed when it comes to hot tub streams, hence their response.

> There also seems to be rather expansive holes in both of your understandings about what the Oklahoma city Bombing

What the hell are you talking about? I haven't said a damn thing about Oklahoma.

If I've said something that is incorrect about Waco, then correct me. Podcasts leave people with the impression that they learned something without actually teaching them anything. They go in one ear and out the other, leaving behind only a sensation of knowledge. If I'm wrong about that, share the knowledge you received from this podcast instead of telling me to consume a podcast.
This seems inevitable, at this point. Barring a major transition failure, the fact that the Bitcoin devs and community seem to have no intention to even consider PoS (or anything else besides PoW) will likely ramp up narratives about Bitcoin's electricity usage and how Ethereum is a green, sustainable alternative, potentially causing the prices to get closer and generating a lot of very angry flamewars between both communities. These all already exist, but I think the dial's going to turn to 11.
You are being snide and inaccurate. Studies show 80% or more of GCC optimization improvements come from the core simple methods. Trying to compensate for the lack of data to support your argument by claiming (falsely) it's taught in an elementary course is weak.
At least on the West Coast of the U.S. it seems to me like there’s been a big change over the past ten years or so in what kinds of security events could happen in a given public space. These days it feels like anything is possible. We’ve had homeless people tailgate employees into the office building where I work. One tried to move into the handicapped bathroom stall. Another started grabbing things from people’s desks in an unoccupied area. After Portland began allowing overnight camping on public property under the Safe Sleep program, a small patch of land across from our office became a campsite pretty quickly, as did the sidewalks on adjacent streets. Some of the people who were camping there were pretty unstable, so you never really knew what to expect.

In that same period of time, also on the West Coast, we’ve seen a shift towards a more lenient model of policing and prosecuting. The idea is to not laden people who are already struggling with homelessness, mental illness, drug addiction, or all three with legal problems that arise from those situations. It’s a laudable effort, and a noble goal, but it has meant that people who get arrested for something like auto theft or burglary are quickly released. Sometimes you’ll read in the news about a person who’s been arrested for a serious crime like murder, and the article will mention dozens and dozens of other arrests for things like burglary, assault or theft. The police know this, so they often don’t bother following up on property crimes.

That system as a whole can really make the major West Coast cities feel pretty lawless sometimes, but people don’t really like to talk about it in social settings because it’s hard to talk about problems like that without being misconstrued as a reactionary conservative. But if you get them taking one on one, and they feel like they can trust you, the frustrations come pouring out. So I’m not that surprised that there’s a company trying to capitalize on that sentiment, horrifying as it is. I’ve been feeling for a while now that given the current trajectory of things, a vigilante backlash was likely to become inevitable.

That rating is for a braked trailer. Hope your was that type.
I know enough.

1. Branch Divinians vs ATF / FBI / other forces occurred with a 50+ day siege.

2. A large number of conspiracy theorists use the Waco Siege event to air their anti-government grievances, sometimes rising to the point of modern domestic terrorism.

EDIT: I've been downvoted. #1 is surely not in question.

That means #2 might need more info. Proof for #2 is the Oklahoma City Bombing. Timothy McVeigh referenced the Waco Siege as one of his grievances. There's no doubt in my mind that the Oklahoma City Bombing was a domestic terrorism event.
