You're not addressing the point. You said he only downweights for one reason. Plainly, he has declared consistency in downweighting for many reasons. No amount of self justification changes the fact you said he ONLY downweights for one reason, and that's factually incorrect.

What he did in this specific case? Different matter. What he does as a matter of both stated policy and declared intent and I would suggest, evidence is different. He downweights for a range of reasons.

Why can't you just accept that and say so? What's blocking you from acknowledging your own words are just incorrect?
Not sure about that. People are generally fine with the imprisonment of people labelled as tax cheats, regardless of whether the label is accurate. The war on drugs has taken decades to reverse.

Can you explain this? I thought ISO 27002 was implementation guidance for ISO 27001. No mandatory requirements even the Annex A controls themselves aren’t mandatory.

It probably would work.

Lots of people use Linux+Wine, but ReactOS exists too as a ground-up implementation with its own Windows-like kernel. Why didn't they just make a well-integrated wine distro instead? and the ReactOS wiki answers: """design and implementation decisions of Linux and Wine architectures which prevent 100% compatibility""". The ReactOS kernel also natively supports many Windows drivers.

There is this question "Why not linux" in the Haiku FAQ: https://www.haiku-os.org/about/faq/#why-not-linux that suggests they just think it's more integrated and unified this way. They are probably correct.

It sounds like you're thinking the world would be further along if people got behind one single cause. Maybe that's true, it is certainly more work to rebuild the world. But hobbyist interest is probably non-fungible, people are just going to build whatever they feel like.
Because an index tracker exposes you to the risk of falling indices. Using a solid stable coin (DAI) and earning yield using an established lending platform (Compound or AAVE) or liquidity pool (Curve) does not. However, these new financial tools of course have other inherent risks but they are probably smaller than exposing oneself to the wildly fluctuating Bitcoin price.
Good. I made a comment 11 days ago about how it will probably end with nothing, and I'm very glad to be proven wrong: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27262707

As a Russian citizen, EU and US need to get stop just "being concerned" and do more real stuff like this to put pressure on these dictatorships. We desperately need to get these bastards out of office and into the prison, and we need your help.
(tangent) Huh, I wonder how well that ahorism maps to Linus Torvalds' code/data structures quote:

> git actually has a simple design, with stable and reasonably well-documented data structures. In fact, I'm a huge proponent of designing your code around the data, rather than the other way around, and I think it's one of the reasons git has been fairly successful […] I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important.

What I've noticed with "upscale" stores like Whole Foods is that their "experience" is just totally different from WalMart (others have pointed this out in other threads).

For people beyond a certain income level, a few dollars in savings aren't as attractive as shopping in a place where people seem to be more "happy". Many of these stores also tend to have an attached gourmet cafe where you can grab a "healthy" bite post/pre shopping. The whole foods in Downtown Austin even has yoga classes (an other fitness activities) on its terrace.
Something along the lines of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_large_numbers

Essentially, if 1-5% (example number, the actual one probably differs) of the general population have ad blockers, or will not execute the JS that you want them to, then it stands to reason that the demographics of your site would also be representative of the overall picture.* As for how those numbers would be figured out in the first place - i'm sure that plenty of larger sites and parties with more resources have figured out ways to aggregate this information and have published it (like the statistics in the posts above). So essentially you don't have to look, because others already have.

*unless the audience of your site is really niche and therefore differ in this regard from the average. For example, Facebook would be a decent representation, whereas Hacker News would not.
The fact that the person doing the job thinks so doesn't necessarily make it so. There's plenty of people who don't see any real purpose in safety belts in cars, too.
> do I understand that all database traffic gets routed to the leader? Do you serve read-only queries from the local replica?

No, and yes. The replica have a very large ping between them, serving everything from the leader would be extremely slow.

> The described setup looks like something that cockroachdb would be able to handle nicely, which perhaps is a little more battle-tested than what you wrote.

Thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of Cockroachdb, I'll try to see how I can switch to that.

Also, "what I wrote" is just a small script to extend my previous setup (which used PostgreSQL) to replicae. I first read about Patroni, supposedly used by large companies, and went with that, before discovering that it requires a lot of monitoring, and can't work for a one-person team.
OOP is widely spread but not well applied in many cases. After some familiarization with FP, you can develop an appreciation for objects with simpler inheritance of methods and state, and better management of mutability/state changes in the objects. Pure FP is difficult to master, but adopting its principles and limiting mutability within objects and to specific functions helps a lot with OOP.

I have an interesting interaction with atheists, and it happens every time I discuss this online

Me: I'm an agnostic.

Atheist: So you believe there might be a god?

Me: Not at all!

Atheist: So you're an atheist! Just embrace it!

Me: You're right! The Abrahamic God almost surely [1] does not exist. I am an atheist!

Atheist: What do you mean almost surely?! What's with the equivocation?

Me: It's a mathematical term. Probability converges toward 1.

Atheist: You think there is a remote possibility Santa Claus exists, too?

“Powered Twitter” is an overstatement. Storm was indeed used at Twitter for select streaming use cases, but it was a bit of a mess and ended up being rewritten from the ground up for 10x improvements in latency and throughout [1]. Marz was at the company for < 2 years. Lately, Twitter has been moving data processing use cases to GCP [2].

Storm is also not very well regarded in the stream processing community due to its restrictive model, poor guarantees, and abysmal performance [3].

I have nothing against Marz, but I do think skepticism is warranted until we see what they’ve built.

> Don’t they know they can come out to the country, buy 50 acres of woods and streams and meadows and wildlife, and not worry about how many cars are on the streets of Copenhagen?

In Denmark? Hardly. If you buy 50 acres here, you'll get fields or pastures, and the legal obligation to keep it as such. Actually, as far as I remember anything over 30 hectares will come with requirements that you have some sort of certification as a farmer.

0,5% of Denmark's 40,000 square kilometers is wild. The largest forests are all state-owned. 60% is farmed land - 80% of which, ie., 50% of the country, is used just to grow pig feed.
At rest the player exerts force (weight) on the ground. When the player begins to jump or pivot, they have to pull their feet upward to either move them, or lower their center of gravity. This can be measured as a decrease in weight (force) exerted on the ground.

But why are people making up weird lies? Not saying you made up the lie. But now you are repeating it. It really undermines serious conversation about the problem and, seemingly to me, only helps pedophiles because now we can’t have a serious conversation without bringing up pizzagate to shut it down

There have been bullshit jobs since the dawn of time, the very first time someone convinced the others he (she?) spoke with the gods and a sacrifice was needed to ensure good weather for the crops. Some will say that they provided relief from uncertainty. I say that it actually increases the bullshitness. We still have peasants and clerics and for the clerics it's never bullshit as it puts food on the table but the fact is that if they dissappeared tomorrow the crops would be taken care of and the weather would not change.
Mt. Zion was set aside for a high risk community. Your own article makes it quite clear.

It was specifically opened to counter the difficulty of members of that community to get vaccinated at the Coliseum. The "clinic was intended to serve: Black, Latino and Pacific Islander people." Organizers call people from outside the community "interlopers" (I recognize you may live in the community, but those you invited did not.) They say “You hope that word doesn’t spread".

The fact that they did not require online appointments or ID was because the population they were trying to serve often lacks ID or the means to make appointments. Again, this is directly comparable to a food bank. The food is first-come first-serve and there is rarely paperwork/proof of insolvency. Heck, they probably don't even have a sign that say "Free Food for poor people only". Why are you not going to a foodbank?

You then claim if you hadn't taken a vaccine someone else just as unentitled would have. That's a claim you can make about almost any crime or heinous act. If Bernie Madoff hadn't ripped those people off some other smart con would have. If you don't steal that drunk's wallet, someone else is going to.

But, beyond that, you advertised the location. The main reason there was... what? To score social credit by being "the guy who found me my vaccine" in stories for the next five years? To produce a sense of obligation among people you may need favors from? Because you valued you were communicating with over the poor people in Oakland?

Fundamentally, you did something wrong.

Where do you find any indication of permanent moral judgment except in your own speech, where you so persistently talk about it? Aren't you the one talking about judging people in binary ways? Perhaps you are speaking from your own heart?

I'm talking about co-existence between nations with different policies, a world where the US may not agree to forget everything Germany asks of them.

> Just to remind you that your binary, i.e. inhumane, way of thinking is permanently documented here as well. I hope you regret this comment one day when the same binary approach is applied to you as well. People are expected to change today - and that's why people go in and out of jail. But in the liberal world view, everybody (except the oppressed) is evil! Even when the oppressed is a cold blooded killer, it's an excuses - they did it, because they are oppressed. And this is how the Commies executed tens of million of people - they were imperialists and enemies of Communism and there was no chance for them; they were sentences as permanently damaged goods and deserved only a bullet!

So you lead with your sense of moral and conversational clarity.

> then, by all morals and definitions, you're inhumane not giving a chance and not willing to reassess.

And so you follow with your sense of moral and conversational clarity.
You are assuming that perfect and fair governance is a reasonably achievable state. Reality begs to differ. In reality, there are people in the USA who are in the closet or of fear of persecution by their communities.

Privacy provides a fundemental protection from persecution by your government. This is precisely why the constitution includes specific privacy protections.

So while we should fight governments that persecute homosexuality, we also need to protect at least some aspects of privacy to keep protections for the next persecuted group.
This is people saying their own jobs are useless, not other people judging their jobs as useless.

Ultimately it is testable. Have people quit or get fired and see if anything bad happens. I worked at a firm that fired its entire marketing team. There was no effect on sales that anyone could notice. They just made bad ads that had no effect on anything.

It’s not so much a rhetorical trick as it is how anthropology works. If you want to investigate something qualitative, you have to employ something like grounded theory[1]. Ie., collect enough qualitative data that patterns start to emerge.

Then you can criticize various aspects of the way it was done of course, but that’s standard scientific method, and doesn’t necessarily reduce it to just rhetorics.

There were no formal eligibility rules because they didn't want to discourage people without IDs. The pastor did not open it up. Here is an article where he called people from outside the neighborhood "interlopers" and said he hoped word of the site wouldn't spread on social media: https://archive.is/Z55Oe
The silly thing to me is that there were plenty of factual things to criticize, they just weren't as sensational and headline grabbing.
Because people are involved in measuring or even defining a thing does not make that thing non-objective, though it can make it stupidly hard to study.

For example, when people are shown a round blobby image and an angular spiky image and asked to determine which one of them depicts a “buba” and which one a “kiki”, most people will apparently say that the blobby one is the “buba”, whatever culture they come from (Köhler, 1929, Spanish speakers on Tenerife; Ramachandran, Hubbard, 2001, English speakers in the US and Tamil speakers in India). More generally, people with synæsthesia agree to some extent on the correspondence between the sensations: if sounds have color to you, then high sounds are almost certain to be brighter than low ones.

A space alien would be entirely incapable of observing this phenomenon; when the human race is dead and gone, it will have ceased to exist; until an underlying mechanism is discovered, it is impossible to tell whether it extends to non-sapient species. It is nevertheless objective in every practical sense.

Similarly, if most people that do J themselves believe that J is bullshit, then it’s reasonable to think that something is up with J. It might be that it’s not a property of J in isolation, and reliably getting at what people actually believe (as opposed to what they tell their employer they believe, what they tell you they believe, or what they tell themselves they believe) can be stupendously difficult, but the question itself is not meaningless or unscientific.
