If the entire market doesn't care, as it shouldn't, then its merely informative and helps more investors be aware of the great revenue printer.

If the market freaks out because they think others will freak out, those traders are the stupid ones and Hindenburg played the gullible people.

From what I read, the money losing company will likely have some brand conscious companies disassociate, while the money winning company will continue printing revenue.
> on an issue that you admit there is little to no evidence is actually a problem

Because "no evidence" isn't relevant. If it was, no one would care about Trumps taxes; and the IRS would happily decrease reporting requirements, and work on an honour system.

The mechanism by which the ruling powers of the nation are decided is pretty important, so the requirement on "time, money, and political capital" is not at un unreasonable - it isn't important if "we treated every problem like this.." because every problem is not equally as important.

The fact is there are huge incentives to cheat, and undeveloped nations across the world are characterised by unfair elections, it's not unreasonable, then, to place importance on the veracity of the election process, more than just a glib "there's no evidence that this is a serious problem".

> I care more about the process being abstractly and theoretically perfect than the people these rule changes would actually effect

fairness is dictated by the rules you dismiss as "abstract and theoretical". You talks about "facts" and what "we know", but that is the very issue - what we don't know. It's convenient to discount the value of what we don't know when the current worldview favours your opinion. I don't know anything about undetected fraud, and neither do you; neither of us know how much a problem this is, or who/how it affects people. The only solution is an airtight process, and you seem to dismiss that, worse still, attempting to characterise me as unsympathetic for placing value on such a thing.

The US is the richest country in the world, and it's government richer than most nations of the world. Why should it lack the resources to secure the most significant process in the nation, while poorer corporations (mastercard, veritas etc), and even the military can secure their own, lesser processes much better.
130 years of medical regulations by Physicians and it's broken.

Any solution is politically impossible because the medical cartels can lobby(read-bribe) politicians.

My only idea is for a tech company to use AI/Science to diagnose and treat. I imagine the physician cartel will attempt to ban competition, but as long as they are correct more often than physicians, writing is on the wall.

I preordered a rM2 and got it last October, and by November it was in my dead tech drawer. It doesn't come close to the experience of writing on top-quality blank notebooks with a good pen, and without a backlight it kind of sucks as an e-reader.
In what way can the first 4 items in the list be considered atrocities? And how can they be considered _CIA_ atrocities given they occur before the formation of the CIA?

The fifth (Operation Paperclip) was conducted by US Army Intelligence.

I gave up at that point. The list is obviously a product of its time - before the explosion of the web. I actually remember when this sort of list was popular - similar lists often appeared and re-appeared on Usenet or were circulated widely by email.

These days it's just too easy to factcheck stuff wikipedia/google/etc. so after checking out the first few items, the list comes across like a sort of Gish gallop.

To be clear, I'm not defending the CIA or its actions here - but this particular list hasn't aged well.

I grew-up in San Jose, went to Davis, and came back to the Valley and commuted to Chico until 2019. Most Californians seemed bitter, angry, resentful, humorless, and ready to explode.

I live in ATX now in overpriced, poorly-maintained apartments full of "stock-broker"-types, salespeople, managers, and software dev couples, and people who think they're hot sh%t either because of inheritance or university pedigree. $3k/month isn't like Valley prices; this is a 1400 sq ft cost-saver efficiency for me. I'd happily trade for a 3000 sq ft / $6k/month place if the people were more decent over there, if that's within the realm of reasonable expectations.

There's no apparent stress of amongst the people with more money than sense, but there is stress amongst the hundreds of people living under I-35 when they've been told that their existence is illegal when they have nowhere else to go.
Sometimes, an audience can feel accuracy even when they don't know it.

A film that has a deep, complex internal consistency can engage audiences and them feel like they want to know more. They don't have to understand the details, but they like to feel that you do.

Reality is a rich source of such consistent details. In historical films, for example, few audience members will really appreciate that you got all of the costumes correct down to the specific year, but the film can feel better than one that mixes Georgian with Victorian with French Court styles.

Getting the physics right won't automatically make a story better. It can constrain the story too much. But if you choose to go down that route, and can still tell a good story, the audience will benefit even when they don't know what they're looking at.

It's why actors like to go into "back story" for a character even when the audience doesn't know what that back story is, and why they work on physicality (walking like the character, holding a fork like the character, etc.) even when nobody will notice. One beautiful example of that: look at the way people moved chess pieces in Queen's Gambit. Even if you don't play, you knew that the actors knew it (and indeed, it came as no surprise to me that they were trained by Gary Kasparov). It's a little thing, but it was just one of a million things that helped that project go right.

The assertion was that I had somehow acquired the answers to the test before I took the test. The evidence for that, flimsy as it was, was that I finished the test "too quickly to have done the work."

Getting the answers before the test was the alleged cheating.
While other countries engage to some degree, I'm attempting to be hyperbolic to emphasize the sheer difference between US and them, which often (as it is now) gets downplayed and filtered out.

How, in the face of being presented with a list of evils the world over, are we all (us Americans) not prostrate in shame? Why do we search for some other vestige of evil to make rational our actions?

There is no rationality to the atrocities. There is no "other countries". There is US, and there is evil that must be admitted and atoned for.
Many of the rules around hiring employees are national rather than EU, so anything that did the whole lot as a turnkey solution would probably have to vary significantly from one member state to another (and within the UK, which for now remains aligned with the EU rules as well).

You can certainly get software that handles things like payroll and statutory leave. Using it has become a practical necessity anyway since governments like the UK's started requiring payroll data to be filed electronically using approved software built on top of their API.

IMHO, the problem with becoming an employer for the first time is that there are so many things that an employer is now required to arrange that even if they are individually quite reasonable the cumulative effort can be a deterrent.

For example, if an employee at your tech firm uses a display screen, you must arrange and pay for an eyesight test with a suitably qualified professional if they ask for one. You must also pay for their glasses if they need an extra prescription specifically for display screen use, but you don't need to do this if their ordinary prescription is already suitable.

While you're dealing with H&S issues, don't forget to conduct your suitable and sufficient risk assessment for each new employee who is going to be working from home during the pandemic restrictions and then make any changes needed so they can do so in a safe and healthy way, whatever any of that actually means in practice.

The list of things you're automatically responsible for the moment you become someone's employer is pretty long in my country, and if you want to get it even close to right you'll probably end up dealing with lawyers, accountants, insurers, pension providers, HMRC, anyone who makes related software you now need to use, and from time to time possibly others like medical professionals.

As far as I'm aware, the closest thing to a turnkey solution that covers all of this is engaging an HR professional, presumably on a consultancy basis since you hardly need one full time if you're a bootstrapped startup looking for employee #1. But then that's more cost to deal with, and it's still going to take considerable time for one or more of your founders to make all the necessary arrangements even if you've brought in an expert to tell you what those arrangements need to be.

Im curious to know who the criticism is being leveled at? Apple or Saudi Arabi. Because the latter isn't likely to even blink at LGBT rights and Apple cares far more about its bottom line than human rights. What's the desired change?

Exactly. Every other industry in existence is able to package up and manage the outlier risk, but somehow, here, it’s “different”.
I believe the biggest "victim" of the increasing difficulty of cross-site tracking are content websites.

A content website has nothing to sell, assuming it's not behind a paywall. They are typically funded using general purpose tracking ads. The ads are based on other websites you visit and have nothing to do with the content you're reading.

These websites may face a serious threat, and need an entirely different model. The most straight-forward alternative I imagine to be contextual non-tracked ads. Ads related to the content you're reading.

Other victims are to be found in the shady world of data aggregators. Their entire existence is based on cross site tracking.

Whilst websites and data parties may suffer, Google will continue to hoard data. Almost every website will continue to use Google analytics, Google fonts, Google Tag Manager, the like. This on top of the wide array of consumer products you may use: Android, its various Google apps, Gmail, Youtube, all of it.

It's virtually impossible to avoid Google touchpoints, they will continue to know more about you than you do about yourself. They don't need AdWords for that.
That doesn't make much sense. You can have a price for whatever complication occurred. Does the insurance/billing code system not already have a method for listing emergency/ad-hoc complications & procedures? It must have that otherwise there would be no way to bill in those cases currently.

e.g an emergency during surgery would normal get XXXX billing code so just publish what you charge for that XXXX billing code.
The definition of "bucket shop" has not changed. The question is always "who's the counterparty". Who has to pay up if you win? Do they have the assets to do so? Can you make them pay up if they don't want to?

With a real broker, the broker is not taking any risk. They just take a commission between buyer and seller. With a bucket shop, the broker has a risk, so it's in their interest to make the customer lose.

A big market move can wipe out a bucket shop. See "Madoff scam". Madoff was a bucket shop operator. The assets his statements said the investors owned did not really exist.
They probably just stopped using those devices, use their smartphone for everything, and just don't complain to you anymore because you're the weird condescending techie.

Russian hacking and Russian interference is not an invention, they’re widely acknowledged throughout the West right now.
+1 for this. The great thing is you still have the option to incrementally opt for SSR and/or enriching statically generated pages with build-time data.
Which also means that banks would be very hesitant to giving them any loan.

Bank strategy is to avoid risk, while VC strategy is to take risks.

And if you must run windows for some specific program then run it on Linux in VirtualBox and only run that program. When finished with the program (tax software and other related for me) shut down VirtualBox. Keep snapshots and backups of your work from VirtualBox and you will most likely have no problems.
>We literally have to invent stories of "Russian hacking" and "Russian interference" to try and conjure up some parity.

Which of these stores, specifically, were invented?

State-sponsored "hacking" and "interference" (by any definition of those terms) on the part of the Russian government are as frequent as they are well-documented.
"he was accused of rape because he did not wear a condom during sex"

According to the very article you link to his wearing of a condom was only an aggravating circumstance, and not the primary reason for the charge of rape.

The primary reason was that he had sex with the woman while she was asleep, in a helpless state (in which she could not give consent).

Here's the full quote:

"Mr. Assange visited Sweden to give a lecture. He had sexual relations with two women there. In the home of the injured party, Assange deliberately consummated sexual
intercourse with her by improperly exploiting that she, due to sleep, was in a helpless state. It is an aggravating circumstance that Assange, who was aware that it was
the expressed wish of the injured party and a prerequisite of sexual intercourse that a condom be used, still consummated unprotected sexual intercourse with her. The
sexual act was designed to violate the injured party's sexual integrity. Mr. Assange was accused of rape. Allegedly, the women agreed to sex on the condition Mr. Assange
wear a condom. He did not do so throughout intercourse. Although the English courts had previously ruled that one cannot give conditional consent, in order to be able to
allow extradition to Sweden, the Supreme Court ruled that his actions would constitute a crime under English law - thus allowing conditional consent to become valid in
English law."

And to describe even just the aggravating circumstance described here as merely "not wearing a condom" omits that the reason for it being a problem: because Assange knew the woman would not have sex without a condom.

So (if true) there are 2 reasons to think he was having sex without consent, which is rape.
Just don't broadcast your SSID.

While it still possible for google to probably scan for these I doubt they do.
Personally I consider that an odd form of "politeness". It is 'creepy' when you buy a large ticket item and ad networks try to seranade you with a demand you already fuffilled. They can geolocate by IP but instead choose to "look away". I guess they do that because those who aren't familiar with it would be freaked out at how close it got. Geo-IP is mostly just hilarious to me from how they get it off like when loging in to gmail in Pennsylvania saying there was a login attempt from Washington DC.

It shows some respect that you don't want focus on your actual geography but I also do stuff like look at real life places to see how well it matched with my initial imagination.
They will never have such a playing field. China will never achieve global hegemony. Only the US can for geographic and economic reasons.
That is the kind of study they did, yes. And the results are consistent with commonly accepted timeline, not with the "I had Covid in October 2019 but they covered it up" crackpots.

The prevalence they found is extremely low, less than 0.05%, despite their samples going all the way back to Mid-March. Since they did not test on any samples that are definitely pre-Covid (e.g. early 2019, late 2018), we can't calibrate their false positive rate. But if we assume the specificity of the tests was 99% which seems on the high end for antibody tests, and that the false positives are uncorrelated, we're already in the region of false positives feasibly explaining literally all of their samples.

The data is just totally inconsistent with any kind of widespread transmission of Covid in the US in 2019.
If the change actually breaks existing use, then bumping the major version of every such release is *exactly* the purpose of SemVer.

One important note that is often overlooked, as it isn't part of the short SemVer summary, is that major version 0 is special. The rules for minor and patch versions do not apply, and anything can change at any time.

In other words, a project and library can explore its API freely and make as many wild changes as it pleases. Once it matures, it can be made 1.0.0, and the whole point of doing so is to communicate that the rules of major, minor and patch version bumps can be expected to be followed.
Yeah. When you're the product and the customer? Not cool.

But I guess you can pay more and get the Professional version and have less garbage...
Not particularly relevant. A significant chunk of that inherited wealth comes in the form of housing. The US has a total wealth of $105t, $36.2t of that is housing, which then ends up getting inherited by homeowners' children.

We're talking about how billionaires make their wealth as a proxy for entrepreneurship. It makes no sense to talk about how many billionaires Sweden has as a measure for their entrepreneurship if most of them inherited their wealth.

Was it though? Search kind of sucked before Google came along. Javascript in the browser was a joke. Google Maps and Mail were revolutionary.

I'm not as positive about Google today as I used to be in the past, but I don't feel it's fair to pretend that they didn't help us take giant steps forward.
>> there’s no output at all

> Hangs!! I hate hangs. I hate them. Crashes give information. Hangs could be so many things, but it is the absence of information.

variants that made me scream include:

- misleading information, the kind you can't dismiss as irrelevant, and you go down a thousand rabbit holes that seemingly lead nowhere, but it somehow all ties together into understanding the issue, only after a thousand turns and while keeping the holistic view of it all

- useless information. kind of like the one above but every piece of information you get truly leads nowhere

Once I had an actual crash that somehow happens before jumping into the program's code (like, before main), but changing your code does toggle the trigger... but when it crashes you have no core and can't attach a debugger, so you're left with debugging on the happy path and constantly think about what could possibly go wrong, and you don't even know what you're looking for. understanding why crt0/ld trips over is not fun.
That means never doing anything by induction.
I think we have fundamentally different opinions on what control you should be allowed to have on your privacy.

There is a similar debate about being photographed while in public: the fact that I'm walking in the street shouldn't allow anybody to take pictures of me, just because it has been decided that doing so would remove any "expectation of privacy".

That's my image. That's my house. If I don't want people to take picture of it and put in on the internet, it's my choice. And I don't think it is that unreasonable to want to control it.

I don't care about cityscape where the picture is taken from afar, where you can not discern any details of my house. But I don't want strangers to be able to see for example if I have dogs just by googling my address on internet.
> Gatsby can use TS, but you need to set it up

I'm not sure how long ago you tried Gatsby, but TypeScript doesn't require setup anymore. Just change the file extensions to .tsx/.ts and it works. It also does incremental builds.

Gatsby handles pages in src/pages the same way except it doesn't use placeholders in the filenames. You generate dynamic pages by writing a function. Check out these videos.

Hiding the network name doesn't conceal the network from detection or secure it against unauthorized access. It also makes your devices constantly send out that SSID wherever you go when searching for networks. According to Microsoft [0]:
