How's that obvious? And does the rule of "be polite if it might be a person" not work?

Also it's pretty normal to phrase things less politely to close acquaintances a lot of the time, and that's not being a dick either. "Be polite all the time" is overkill.
credit where its due: http://seaside.st/ was first to do this kind of server driven ui.

nowadays if you want a high performance html pushed to the frontend for an MVP, I'd recommend phoenix's liveview. its easy to use and works out of the box really well. You'll get a lot of users before you need to think about scale.
It's weird how quickly the "culture" changes. in the span of 5 minutes it went from being light hearted and funny to the usual bickering about identity politcs. I still a good time before that.

My other observation is that kind words feel much stronger and meaningful online if the site has no enforced "niceness" and people are just as free to act as total jerks, yet they choose not to.
A lot of these edge cases are about theoretical concerns like "how many digits we need in decimal to represent an exact IEEE binary float".

In practice a double is 15.6 digits precise, which Excel rounds to 15 to eliminate some weirdness.

In their documentation they do cite their number type as 15 digit precision type. Ergo that's the semantic they've settled on.
Did Cory Doctorow's explanation address valuing intellectual property via Harberger taxes?
Explicitly exposing ever-changing conceptions of acceptable ideas by the site seems like a good way to lose dissatisfied users who give up trying to improve discussion.

Maybe that achieves the same thing in a simpler way than changing minds. But does shrinking the userbase please advertisers?
On the contrary, many jurisdictions have taxes that are directed at tourists/travelers. Usually collected through lodging taxes.
Okay, so you're not entitled to skip out on owed obligations, but there will be no future ones.
I don't agree with a full suspension of IP personally, but in response to that specific argument... If the common opinion is that the limited exclusivity window doesn't actually promote science and the useful arts then it wouldn't seem to actually mandate that that exclusivity window exists - or, if it must exist, it could be set to an arbitrarily short amount of time.
Any chance you could summarize the argument?
Yeah, his other book "Atomic Adventures" was recommended to me by my friends and also mentioned in the book "The Future of Fusion Energy" by Parisi and Ball.

I'll have to check it out!

> I can't think of anyone I've met that's gone to anywhere based on positive Yelp reviews

You’re kidding, right? They wouldn’t exist if people didn’t extract value out of them. I certainly have many, many, many times visited or hired businesses because of Yelp, and Aziz Ansari has an entire bit in this. Reviews are a backbone of much online commerce.
Re: 1 - Sure they can. The play store has the ability to both uninstall and install apps without direct user input. Even if the OS itself blocks updating an app with a different key, it doesn't block uninstalling and then reinstalling with a different key to my knowledge.

AABs are hardly required for Google to inject their own code into apps. And honestly, why would you even be concerned about them injecting code into third party apps? If they really wanted to be malicious they could use system apps that they fully control anyway.

I do have concerns with Google removing the ability for developers to sign apps but Google themselves acting maliciously isn't why.
Don't use Facebook
It's absolutely his own doing though. He targeted Hillary in the 2016 election and supported Trump. Then told everyone the DNC leak came from Seth Rich. He is absolutely not a good person or an ethical journalist regardless of whether or not he's guilty of any crimes.
FWIW I think (but not 100%) that it was us at Kickstarter who first used the word "creator" the way it's used now.

At the time we were trying to decide how to describe all the different kinds of people who would be making projects -- artists, writers, filmmakers, coders, chefs. What do you call all of these people? There was no clear term, but in the course of brainstorming "Creator" really stood out as being the best at encompassing many different kinds of creative people. We launched with that as our term in 2009.

A year later I remember YouTube starting to use it too. I can't say for sure we were the absolute first, but I do remember when we decided to use it that it wasn't being used elsewhere.
Oh awesome - so instead of an organization that is (sorta) held accountable to the public via elections we'd just let private organizations run the whole show?
How much of a problem is this? In most places, there are laws regarding the conflict of interest for building inspectors. For example, building inspectors may not be allowed to be involved in the any building business at all, with some exceptions carved out for making modifications to their own home.
Yeah coc.nvim is a much better experience in my usage. I want to love the native LSP, but the hodgepodge of in-progress or abandoned completion, suggestion, signature, diagnostic, etc. UI is a big pain point right now.

For example I have to install 3 different plugins to get all the LSP UI so it means I have 3 different opinions on how various parts of its UI should look and it's a real mess--the popups for suggestions as I type are totally different looking compared to the popups to show function signatures (and each has their own bespoke way of being configured).
Emacs does not have the same problem. When you install a plug-in it will install the dependencies as well.

However one thing I wish emacs packages had was the ability to version dependencies. Right now you can get a broken plug-in because the upstream package introduced breaking changes.
My read of the fourth bullet is that if you're receiving non-emergency service from an out-of-network provider, they can still balance bill you as long as you've signed the plain-language consent. (Presumably with such signature being a pre-requisite to receiving services.)
> Why is it that people who raise merge requests can approve their own request ? Is there a way to disable this?

Sounds like you've configured your repo to allow developers to merge, which is not the default, otherwise you are adding everyone as maintainers. The typical setup is that developers can make merge requests to protected branches, but only maintainers can merge.

> Who exactly is the assignee?

That's up to you to define really. In the system whoever is assigned is the person who gets the ticket in their overview. For our workflows most just keep it unset and someone picks it up on their own. Unless they know for certain which maintainer will be handling the merge request.

> I don't have a pipeline setup yet, but I don't want it to run in the first place (and fail)

I'm not sure what you're asking here, if you don't have a pipeline defined what is it that you don't want to run? Could you have auto-DevOps enabled perchance without wanting it? It can be disabled under "Settings>CI/CD"
I recently hacked together something like this, it's good to see someone else has had a similar idea

Assuming a 40hr/wk schedule, the average salary for police officers in the usa ($70k) works out to about $33/hr with about half making less (likely more depending on the skew in the distribution). There are job postings for usa police listing ~30k yearly salary, which comes to about $15/hr. Probably some new recruits end up in the typical situation of salaried workers and work significnatly more than 40 hours. I bet $100 could seem pretty nice.

> When inluencing, the product is access to their follower and the customer is advertisers.

> When creating, the product is the content and the customers ate the consumers of that content.

With social media-influencer, the content they normally create is their live and personality (or the illusion they build of them), and this is also the product they sell and use to gain reputation. Sponsorings and placements are side-products they might sell, not their main-content. They can be more profitable then other sources of income, but they are not the only income people can have. Though, which ways they can utilize for income depends on the platform they use.

Ontop, there are also influencers who do not advertize any product at all. People who do thinks just for the socializing, or the attention, or for some other reason.

> These two activities are pretty easily distinguishable and just because people do both doesn't make the activities less distinct.

The problem is not the activity, but the classification of the person.

> they help understand the motivations

Motivation is irrelevant. Motivation does not even work at all in either classification.

They should integrate this with bricklink - I feel for all those people who have to catalog all their little bricks to sell them or just 1 or 2 cents a piece

This doesn’t really work in the US (thankfully). You gotta go far, far bigger and it not be a traffic ticket for that to work. Think cartel.
Not sure they can. The federal government has authority under the constitution over interprovincial trade.
> oxygen is earth's "memory" after all

Could you explain what you mean by this?
I'm not even trying to say you're meaningfully protected by US jurisdiction. I personally think you are, but I won't try to win the argument, and I think reasonable people can certainly disagree. I'm just saying that, if nothing else, selecting a smaller provider with fewer security resources just to get outside of the US is not a win with respect to mass surveillance.
IP has always rubbed me as preoccupied with protecting a past instead of forging a future.

An effective monopoly over customers should be won through superior products in the marketplace, not by inferior products defended in the courts.

Even when it's a superior product, often covetous protectors of excessive demands and restrictions hamper and kill it. Media formats, software, vehicle technology, the graveyard of brilliant products by petty tyrants zealously destroying their dreams through their own stubbornness is vast and depressing.

I'm glad Apple knocked off Xerox, Tim Berners Lee knocked off Ted Nelson, and Linus knocked off a bunch of groups. I'm glad Encyclopedia Britannica didn't have IP rights to shut down wikipedia and W3Catalog, the first search engine wasn't going around knocking off Yahoo, Alta Vista and Google when they came around.

I don't expect wide agreement with this, that's why I'm saying it.
We downloaded this last night and my 4-year old has been having a lot of fun working through his 50 or so build options.

We routinely get various lego build books from the library, but it's frustrating how almost every build requires a few critical pieces that we don't have. It'd be cool if this app could tell you if there's some set or kit or odd-lot pieces we could buy that would suddenly make a large number of builds available.
This should be common knowledge (but, unfortunately, isn't.)

A primary breadwinner should carry at least 10x his family's annual living expenses in term life insurance coverage.

Once the size of his retirement accounts exceeds this, he can start thinking about reducing the insurance.

Both will pay directly to beneficiaries in the event of his death.
> Sure, it's egregiously unconstitutional; but just as you say, I wouldn't want to be the one hiring the attorneys.

How is it unconstitutional exactly? People seem to throw that term around willy-nilly. It is, however, problematic because it overreaches -- for example, being expected to blur out badge numbers or officer names is needlessly onerous for the reporter of a police encounter.
We just need to have a more effective (10x higher) carbon tax and use the proceeds to fund solar and other renewables.
They also seem to have no privacy policy, nor any way to flag inaccurate content, harassment, etc. Yikes!
There were some other submissions about Kaseya, but this one is the first one that describes the problem for us outsiders.

That's interesting, I have never seen that. Is it customary or well known in your area?
A fight over intellectual property can only be resolved in a battle of intellect. Perhaps an arrangement can be reached? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZSx3zNZOaU
For the sake of the argument, I'm going to take the authors appraisal of her own impressive intellect at face value, however I'd like to add that I have met a few 150IQish individuals who had a far more modest view of their mental abilities.

My interpretation is that she was a genuine genius who, for whatever reason, had some learning disabilities/behavioural problems that prevented her from taking advantage of her own gifts. While I congratulate her for overcoming these challenges, I can't help but feel that an intellectually more average person, who also doesn't share her difficulties, would get far less out of the methods she describes in the article, or someone else who also has the same learning difficulties as her wouldn't get to join the intellectual elite just by following in her footsteps.
Didn't like, a third of the provinces not sign the constitution?

Yes. Read X, by Y (943 pages, $84 on Amazon) for why it is necessary.
I'm still confused. Something like Gitlab?
/r/tinycode: minimalistic programming
The FCC doesn't hand out big fines to companies that go "oops, my bad, heres how I am fixing it" they hand out big fines to companies that refuse to acknowledge that there is a problem and refuse to correct it. HobbyKing refused to acknowledge the issue, the FCC's jurisdiction, or make any attempt to resolve this issue, so they get a big fine.

The FCC probably doesn't expect this fine to be paid, instead its part of an effort to block the importation of this stuff into the US.
Trademarks are radically different, they are an anti-fraud mechanism. If someone is trying to pass off a good as being produced by someone else, then it's fraud.
I wasn't signed in, just using the splash example/demo.
This seems like classic libertarian confusion about where "property" comes from.

> As we oppose all government intervention in the marketplace, we favor the repeal of intellectual property laws. Disputes between inventors, creators, authors, artists, businesses, and other such entities should be resolved without government intervention.

IP does not exist without government intervention. Government intervenes to create IP. This is true for real property as well, but at least with real property, you could form an army and defend your property that way without a government. Since IP is so easily transmissible, and often must be transmitted to be useful, this would be very challenging.

If you write some source code, intending it to be proprietary (for your operating system, for example), and I obtain it somehow, you'd be screwed under this system. I guess you could call this "resolving the dispute without government intervention" in the sense that the resolution is me telling you to pound sand, but I don't think any capitalist system would find that satisfactory.
You were probably using the more popular vscodevim with its 2.7M installs. Try vscode-neovim with its merely 93K installs.

vscode-neovim is designed for and requires neovim 0.5. I hate, hate, hated vscodevim but vscode-neovim is very good, very usable; I stopped using VSC altogether until vscode-neovim got real. It's not perfect, it still needs work on command mode, but it's quite usable. I even got rid of my other vims (MacVim, VimR, ...).
That’s great feedback, thanks so much. We want to perfect the editor experience as much as possible. It can’t ever completely replace local, though, so we hope we can release our API in the future for this use case.
Now I really want a USB blade switch.
I generally agree that IP needs to be reevaluated along with legislation like the DMCA, but I'm more in favor of making nuanced changes rather than complete abolition.

I don't want to have to fight expensive legal battles in whatever private arbitration hellscape that right-libertarians have in mind in order to stop, say, SEO spammers from using my personal photos in their content.

While I'm not a fan of the DMCA, I appreciate the recourse it gives me for things like that.

Ryan Reynolds' Mint Mobile Offers 25 Year Cellphone Plan for $2,500
It seems unconstitutional to me; you have no expectation of privacy when you’re out in public, and badge numbers are legally required to be worn.

This combination in effect turns into a requirement to either not film, or not post videos of cops, which is unconstitutional.
Well everything you said you made up as well. That's what language is, a bunch of made up abstractions represented with symbols. Your assertion that these large corporations' (aka legal fictions) speech are being infringed upon is ridiculous & shows how out of touch with reality you are. I have some opinion, as do you, and many share my opinion. This is a clear power play by your side. Your corporations also should not have the freedom to restrict speech, any more than a government should not have that freedom. In reality totalitarianism does happen. When it does happen, we are best served by calling it what it is. The toadies can squirm, deny, downplay, & try to control the language, but we are best served by being truthful.

And restricting speech is not speech itself and does not deserve protection, anymore than me gagging your mouth is an expression of the freedom of speech. Restriction of speech does happen, no matter how much one tried to redefine or recontextualize the circumstances. Slavery also does happen today. We can play all sorts of cognitive games to deny these realities, but people are still affected in an exploitative way, which is disgusting, immoral, & goes against everything that brings the best out of humanity.

The father of Scientism demonstrates the arrogance of the adherents of Scientism/Technocracy and the reason why any critics of Scientism/Technocracy are demonized. This is why adherents of Scientism/Technocracy strive to infringe on peoples', particularly critics', freedom of speech by funneling markets & discourse through captured platforms & restricting participation & speech on these platforms. Technocrats in the government actively support & play rearguard these endeavors.

"A scientist, my dear friends, is a man who foresees; it is because science provides the means to predict that it is useful, and the scientists are superior to all other men."

Anybody reading this can get a thorough education on the Techcracy via Patrick Wood's books. "Technocracy, The Hard Road to World Order" is his latest...
> So, is it more important to you how people use the term concentration camp or the fact that ICE lock up children in internment/concentration/[ insert favorite word here ] camps?

Well, that escalated quickly.

I don't think I ever said anything for or against what ICE is doing, in fact I tried not to because the only thing I wanted to say was that when using the words "literally concentration camps" people might read that as "camps designed to kill people" since that is the way I've been taught it (in history classes) and heard it (in general use).

I don't even live in the US so I have no say in this in a democratic sense. If I did I'd be against the way migrants are treated and want more humane treatment, but I don't think that should be relevant to what I said.
Easy enough to guess how that works.

Give chimps/gorillas/humans enough territory and they're peaceful, make them compete with others of the same species for limited resources and they'll turn violent.

I don't need much more than basic evolutionary theory to support that.
Libertarianism tends to skew that way, often. So I wouldn't say it is surprising in the case, whether we agree or not.
> Because that's what happens when owe money that you don't pay.

When you owe money that you don't pay, and you refuse the normal first consequence (eviction).
The long term trend is toward ever more specialization. Even a "full stacker" implies a certain subset of web tech. You wouldn't hire a "full stacker" to do your kernel work, or device driver, or likely even your mobile app. 30 years ago, programmers was programmers.

There might be a momentary tick downward on this trend, like a correction in the stock market. But I don't think it changes the overall direction, and honestly I haven't even noticed a blip.
What's the alternative, what choice do we have, realistically?

I ride my bicycle or walk for as many trips as possible, and take public transit. I don't own a car, instead I rent one when I absolutely have to. I buy/use as little single-use plastic as possible, I compost and sort whatever trash I do end up with. I've significantly reduced my meat intake and buy in-season groceries as much as possible. I buy second-hand whenever possible and keep things running for as long as possible. I repair everything I can, and only replace things whens they are irreparably broken. My desktop and laptop are both ~10 years old and still going strong. I live in a small apartment, I don't have AC, and I put on a hoodie rather than turning up the heat in winter. I use water-saving taps and shower heads, I use the shorter wash cycles on my washing machine and I line-dry all my clothes. The list goes on and on, you get the point. I try quite hard to reduce my own footprint.

Sure, I could move to an off-grid cabin in the woods, but I'm not sure my footprint would actually be smaller from doing that.

There is only so much consumers can do, when our entire economy is built upon the exploitation of natural resources and an almost complete disregard for negative externalities.

Doing the best you realistically can as an individual is good and fine, but what we really need is harsh regulation of industry heavyweights, in order to force them to do better, as they have clearly proven to have no such motivation by themselves.
Without a brand, how does the customer know who's products they're buying?
As much as you have decided to trust online reviews, Yelp has led to the destruction of good people's livelihoods. It has screwed over tons of people.

Of course even if Yelp were perfect or even good, it doesn't matter because this site is nothing like Yelp or RateMyProfessors, because there is no choice involved. It's not like you choose which officers or departments show up to your 911 call. If the police do show up, it's not like you check their RateOurCops score before they get to your door.
Yeah sounds like Bari was unfair to Tulsi, the war in Syria is complicated and messy.

Ironically I think this interview with Winston Marshall shows how he dealt with being unfairly judged in a similar way.
Because obviously. If you’re starting a new program to send people to outer space and beat the Commies, what drives your decision making? Is it

(a) getting the best people, who’ve already acquitted themselves under stressful conditions admirably

(b) making some women happy

(c) eliminating women under some pretext, just to mess with them
