Oddly enough, what you're proposing sounds more like 'thuggery' to me then the lotteries? From here, what it sounds like you're saying is "people need to be protected from their baser instincts because they're not capable of making the decision themselves" ?

The lotteries ARE voluntary vaccination. Just like lotteries in general are voluntary. People choose to play. It sounds like you want to remove that choice from them 'for their own good' and because it meets your definition of 'immoral'. That sounds very authoritarian to me ?

> They generally give feedback on your application

That has not been my experience. I can't find the email right now. If I remember correctly it had some boilerplate about to the effect that they can't give feedback on every application and not to feel bad because sometimes they have to make hard choices and it doesn't mean your startup idea is necessarily a bad one. I understand all of that. No issues at all.
I'd rather you not give westerners any ideas. It already seems like the united states is ever increasingly on the brink with the rhetoric of 'tyranny' we hear from both sides of the spectrum.
That's facile. These are politicians who make up the government. They represent half of the two party system we have in this country. Is disingenuous at best to claim she isn't a representative of the government.

Honestly it's pretty disgusting that you're going to pretend Republicans haven't been downplaying the virus and doing what they can to prevent localities from taking precautions against it for over a year now. Either you're dangerously ignorant to the steps Republicans are taking to prevent us from handling this virus or you're deliberately spreading misinformation. Either way, you're a net negative to the discussion and actively causing harm with your misinformation.
I'm not sure how technologically similar it is, but this product works well. It can notify you when, e.g., a motorcycle is moved.

A cargo airship is slower than a freight jet and only a few times faster than a cargo ship.

Even the relatively "small" PANAMAX container ships can carry 5000TEU. If you had an airship that could carry 50TEU (I'm being extremely generous there) you'd need 100 trips (200 total ocean crossings crossings) to equal a single smaller sized container ship.

If your airships are only four times faster than container ships you'll need 50 of them to carry the same amount of freight as that single ship.

If 20 days is too long a wait air freight (heavier than air) already exists. It also deals with weather by simply flying over it. So you'd need some sort of cargo that was too time sensitive for sea freight but not so sensitive or valuable enough for traditional air freight. But it couldn't be too sensitive or valuable because airships are very sensitive to weather, wind especially, so can only really operate in very clear weather with low winds at departure and arrival.
This is amazing.

Can you share any positive stories or explain how his utter disregard for human rights and the people of Belarus is actually a positive?
And where is the advantage to run C/C++/Rust as WASM?

It's much slower than native (you will need a JIT to make it reasonable fast again!), needs a considerably huge runtime with a significant memory overhead compared to native, and a complicated build setup.

Someone will say now: Sandbox.

But sandboxing native code, in a native way (using directly the facilities that the WASM runtime would use) is much simpler, cheaper, and more performant.

And for high-level languages you need anyway all the things that the JVM has build in. Also you get there instrumentation, monitoring, and debugging facilities for "free".

The only valid point of criticism I see here is the complaint about the "build in" OO semantics of the JVM. But that's nothing that couldn't be augmented by some better fitting mechanics for cases where translation to OO is very problematic. (But actually I have a hard time to think of an example for this problem. OO and FP are actually duals¹ ² of each other, and there's not much that's neither OO nor FP).

> Which is what they do in FRACTRAN: they show how to encode an arbitrary program and its input as a number N, and how to read the output from the iteration.

What I don't understand is the encoding part. Is the encoding not essentially the same as execution? In other words the encoding function needs to be turning complete?

Yeah...I was surprised the cops helped at all.

My dad has many high end game/trail cameras. One of his went missing, so he checked the others and found clear as day video of the neighbor trespassing and stealing it.

Took it to the cops, and they acted annoyed and told him to just sue. I was in disbelief.

> I have little doubt that one or more police officers are well aware of the nature of the shop and get their own cut of the profits.

I'd agree they're aware (and don't do anything for whatever reason) but I disagree your run of mill LEO is getting a cut of profits. If anyone is getting a cut, it's not your regular officers. It's whatever title you want to appoint to the person running the police force.
I like to compare program efficiency to fuel-efficient engines. Most people could get along just fine with a 1950s clunker that gets 10mpg. They might even tell everyone they don't want to upgrade and lose the ability to fix it with nothing more than duct tape and a wrench. There are still clear advantages to all the extra complexity and cost in an efficient engine though.
Please plant some actual goalposts so we can kick the ball through, the constant zigzagging in these threads is tiring and unhelpful.
Think about it this way, before and after the airtag, theft was just as much of a problem. So no harm done. Without the anti stalking features, this would have become a problem which did not exist nearly to the same scale and ease.

The airtags would have been extremely good stalking tools without these safeties and even with them you can still get some anti theft protection as the airtags do not notify until the holder gets home and your app will hold the last known location (their house)
Not meant to be pedantic, just playing devil's advocate, but isn't the real time audio bitstream just a continuous source of events that gets blended with the rest of the application state like active filters and what not?
I believe you have to do some minor training and get a like certification, but yes, it comes in about a fifty percent concentrated solution with water. The LD50 of that solution is about a quart as far as I can determine.

The point of the example is that it is not acutely toxic unless you ingest a sizable amount while dealing with concentrations only available to certified farmers. The lethal amounts come up to around how much you would apply to half an acre of cropland.

When I was a child my father was visited by a former colleague, who previously had a stroke. The colleague was partly paralyzed. He had great difficulties talking and to me it looked like he had also problems thinking straight. It appeared that his brain was severly damaged by the stroke. You cannot imagine my surprise when, as he left, he went into his car and drove away just like that.
This doesn't make sense. What is "never done anything" supposed to mean?

Forget that, it’s a huge pain on a weekly basis when I go on a walk with my significant other and my iPhone reports that the one in her wallet is following me. It’s a horrible UX that in classic Apple fashion has no concept of family and also breaks one of the AirTag’s key features. You should basically only rely on AirTags to find your keys at home.
Occam's razor:

2. The police do know (holy shit!) and also are directly involved in a criminal operation (holy double shit!).

That makes no sense in case of Rust (or C/C++ for that matter).

You would compile

LLVM-frontend -> LLVM-IR -> LLVM-WASM-backend -> GraalVM-WASM-frontend -> GraalVM-bytecode-backend

instead of

LLVM-frontend -> LLVM-IR -> GraalVM-LLVM-IR-frontend -> GraalVM-bytecode-backend

The additional transformations won't be healthy for the performance of your program, or compile times…

Granted cops shouid be doing more than Revenue Collection. (In Marin County, we have zero crime in most twowns, but they are ticket happy, and it's irritating.)

That said, I'm glad the cop didn't arrest the neighbor. Unless you have footage of the heighbor removing the camera, it's not cut and dry.

I would take the neighbor to small chains court, but then you have to live next to guy with a grudge? A guy with a grudge can make your life miserable.
It's weird for this analysis to focus on the total size of the app. If a Svelte app has 100 components but a page only uses 10, then surely it's possible to only fetch these 10 components and defer the rest, right? This way the size of each page does not have to grow linearly with the size of the app. And the size of each page matters more than the total size of the app -- after all, we're on the web, not on mobile where users need to download the whole app before running it. Am I missing something here?
I missed the key step at first of going to the Runtime menu at the top of the page and selecting "Run All" there.

I would say the file thing is unnecessary. That's just an OCD thing. You can break stuff up and keep it within the same file, it literally has the same effect.

I understand why you think that type of modularity is bad, but it is actually good. It only appears bad because most of the "modularized" code is only used once.

No one can predict the future so the way to minimize rewrites is to make composable units of code that are small and highly modular. It's not about breaking up your code. It's about writing small logical component then building up the larger component by composing the smaller components.

This results in a large number of modules that are only used one time, but it prepares your code for the inevitable point of the future where you find out the design was wrong and you have to rearrange the logic.

When such a time comes you most likely just trivially rearrange some of your logic and add additional pure functions into your pipe line for any actual new logic. The majority of your modules remain untouched and this only seems bad, but it prevented a rewrite of the entire framework.

The timeline where the definitively worse outcome occured didn't happen because your code was too modular. So you have no point of comparison and you assume the modular code that is hard to read is bad only because it's hard to read. You failed to see how it prevented a massive refactor.

Usually if code is so unmodular, people just live with it and keep accumulating massive tech debt on top of everything. If all your seeing is tiny functions everywhere then this is definitively better than the alternative.

From a design perspective highly modular code is always better. From readability perspective though, you are right, modular code is harder to read. But there are ways to mitigate this.
There is a button on that screen to ignore the airtag and it will never alert you again for that particular tag. Apple cant solve the fact you didn't read the small amount of text on the page.

And no part of that implies any emotion or sentiment at all. What you are reading into is is your own bias.

It almost like a title:subtitle structure. You read the content to understand it. The title simply says something like "I am no longer interested in YC. I want to discuss age discrimination". It does not say "Those f--ker at YC are biggoted blah, blah who discriminate against older engineers and because of that I've had enough and I am done with them". That's what you and dang seem to want to read into it. Well, you are both wrong. It's just a title. No emotion or implications being made other than those made in the mind of the reader.

You can basically just wrap the tag in tape and the beep becomes almost silent. Any pressure stops it sounding. But its at least some effort which is more than tile and other competitors did. Ideally Google and Apple could work together to make safety alerts work for everyone.

Robot vacuum: Ecovacs Deebot T9 Plus, paid about USD1300. Not a minor purchase, but if you've got hardfloors and no clutter in the floors: get a robot vacuum!

I for one have been really really happy with the Ecovacs Deebot T9 Plus. It even mops the floors in the same operation and doesn't get easily stuck due ti AI and LIDAR scanning.

So far it has worked for about 50 hours. That is time I have gotten free up to do other things, which is the essence of why I recommend it. Also, my place has never neen this clean consistently over time :)
I'm noticing Apple making a lot of rather poor decisions to make things "socially acceptable" lately.
You can also just sandwich it in anything and the sound is muffled 99%. The outer case is the speaker diaphragm and it becomes almost silent under the slightest pressure.

The "grudge with the neighbor" ship sailed the moment his neighbor stole his stuff. Enabling petty theft encourages it. If your neighbor stole one thing this time and got away with it, who knows what he'll be stealing next time.
If a cohort of countries pooled resources (like COVAX, WHO, NATO, etc) and focused on fucking off these plants, would that not be a big step towards the global goals?

Off course they know, they work (and perhaps live) in the neighborhood. They know people that have had stuff stolen from them, they might have had stuff stolen from them them selfs. Now caring, that is another issue.
An obvious solution would be to allow third-party storage services where you can dump your device data pre-encrypted and restore from those services. Only you would have the key. It isn't hard to implement.

The hard part would be getting the US security apparatus to allow it. ALL major storage providers DON'T support end-to-end encryption for this reason. Not Google. Not Microsoft. Not Apple. Not Dropbox. Isn't this interesting?

Furthermore, talk of supporting end-to-end encryption is basically NOT in the Overton window in these companies as far as I know. Discussion of it is met by silence from management. It is weird when you begin to see the spider webs of power in society.

All those people positing that it this is an effort by Apple to push for end-to-end encryption are either disingenuous or wrong headed. If Apple even thought about end-to-end encryption, the whole US government would come down on Apple like a ton of bricks.

Apple has shown no recent indication of even leaning in this direction. Not only does Apple not directly support end-to-end encrypted backup on iOS devices to third parties, it precludes it from happening. You are stuck backing up to your Mac or jailbreaking.

EDIT: There seem to be a few small movements in this area. Dropbox has their Vault with pin based protection. Seems incredibly and intentionally weak.
I have an AirTag hidden in my car, and it makes me feel a bit better — but it's mostly just to help me remember where I've parked.

My partner's car was stolen out of the parking garage on Grove St. in Hayes Valley (San Francisco). It was recovered three days later in the garage on 5th and Mission. Probably not the same person who had stolen it, but someone had essentially moved in. When we picked up the car at the impound lot, it was full of stuff — dozens of documents that personally identified who was living in the car. There was even a journal with lists of cars and locations for future theft! The garage also had security camera footage of the theft, and the 5th/Mission garage of the person who dropped it off.

SFPD was uninterested. I hung on to photos of everything though. It was just kind of mind-blowing to me at the time that despite very clear evidence that could likely lead to arrests, there was a lack of willingness to do anything about it.

Maybe it would be different in another city, but I'm not so sure. As much as I'd like to think that some folks on the police force are there to build cases and actively catch criminals, I don't think that happens too often outside of TV shows. Of course, it’s also likely a single car theft is too small potatoes for that kind of effort.
I used to not like farm subsidies, but the free market tends to plan for supply shocks poorly, and the cost of shortages is incredibly high, so I don't mind paying farmers to overproduce food.
> mostly cosmetic

Agreed, but then again much of the point of wearing watches nowadays is cosmetic. Plus, their terrible hollow rolled-link bracelets and press-clasps aren't really cosmetic issues, just poor quality that they haven't bothered upgrading. The movements themselves though seem to still be solid, and they are a huge provider of movements (eg the NH35/36) to several microbrands.

> Seiko is aware of the issue

Yeah, it's weird. They not only seem to be aware of it, but also say they have "hand-checked" units sent out to reviewers or units that are purchased from boutiques if you ask specifically- only for them to have the same issues as always. Not sure what it will take. The Just One More Watch YouTube channel does a ton of Seiko reviews but he's been extremely jaded because of these issues.
Thanks for the detailed reply.

I guess I don't understand what kind of "confidentiality" was violated. To me a violation of confidentiality would be revealing your name and your role in the process, or publishing sensitive information they got via the process, maybe publishing some idea or data you shared with them that you intended to publish yourself later. But they didn't use your name, and you didn't share any sensitive information with them, so I don't get it.

Plagiarism I guess I can see, though the cynic in me says if it was so obvious that their native language wasn't English, it was in the best interest of readers for them not to do the dance of paraphrasing away the plagiarism.

> I don't know anyone who has a passing familiarity with Academia and doesn't realize that it is incredibly competitive.

Yeah, my family who are in academia talk all the time about how petty and cutthroat it is, and I'm sure that played a role in scaring me away from trying it myself, but I can tell they think business must somehow be worse. I get the feeling that deep down they believe they’re seeing a version of human behavior somewhat elevated by the ideals of academia, and however bad it is inside academia, outside, in environments ruled by cruder values, it must be worse.

I've been shaken down by a cop for a bribe. I've had cops threaten me with arrest for photographing them in a 7-Eleven maskless in the middle of the pandemic. I have no trouble believing that there are plenty of cops directly involved in criminal operations. Real life cops aren't like the ones on TV.
I still think it’s a kind of MAD. Maybe not at a global / national level. But if you are someone who hurts / torture people for a regime, you and your family is normally protected by being anonymous. So releasing their info gives the people the power to hunt down the state actor and not let them hide.
