CC also went through a similar transformation that crypto would have to.

The problem is that noone wants to take the risk to transform crypto into as convenient a service as credit cards, when credit cards have such a first-mover advantage.

Industrialism originally developed through the profits of export goods, directed at the colonies.

By the 20th century, I think you could say colonialism didn't pay off. But it was also the seed capital for a lot of europe's industrialization. The same thing happened with Japan - their defeat of China in the Sino-Japanese war resulted in an indemnity that underwrote the Mejji restoration.
This is rich coming from The Guardian, which for years has been in favor of private actors censoring their ideological opponents. Today, when their face is getting eaten by leopards, they're worried about "unaccountable power", but tomorrow, they'll be demanding others be kicked off the internet.
Mismanagement.
It seems like the trend for the past ~10 years has been towards public figures slowly becoming cranks online. I have no idea why, but it sure seems to be happening a lot.
The Guardian has no problem with the unaccountable power of platforms and banks.

The Guardian merely has a problem with this particular application of it.

Well… American military are immune from prosecution for crimes against humanity, so that’s one possible route. Consider, however, opposition will be much more violent and relentless and that both Soviet and British strongly recommended suicide before allowing oneself to be captured by Afghans, so I imagine that wouldn’t end well either.

Again, diplomacy is cheaper, in both money and lives.

Well, hang on. Which was the correct climate? At various times, the planet has apparently completely encased itself in ice and then thawed itself out. According to the climate historian Scotese, the average temperature has varied between 10C and 25C for two billion years. "Recently" it's been about as cold as it ever gets. Is it actually sad that it's warming up? What was it supposed to do, stay cold forever or get even colder? http://scotese.com/climate.htm
I am extremely disappointed that the only example of a "weird language" is Lisp. These days — with Clojure, Common Lisp, Racket, Guile, Emacs Lisp, Chez Scheme, Fennel, etc. etc. — Lisp is hardly weird.

I'd love to see an expanded version of this article written by someone less focused on Lisp advocacy than Paul Graham seems to be.

If you are interested in talking directly with a head of eng who's been around the block, hit me up (email in profile) and I should be able to get you in contact with a woman who has gone from a teammate to lead to manager to a sr manager to director to sr director in a company that went from 30 people to going public with a few hundred people to being acquired and still growing to over 5k people, and who is now taking over eng at a smaller company. They are busy, but I could share your contact info.

What does this have to do with trust? Clearly the current users trust OnlyFans, and I doubt very many people are worried they’re going to disappear in the middle of the night and turn off the porn.

“Yeah I’ll throw $50 into this OnlyFans subscription, but only if I can get a chargeback if I’m not happy with the performer” said nobody ever.
I've tried pretty hard to get it to work with ffmpeg and mediaRecorder, but both of these options are quite limited at the moment and the results just weren't good enough. Other option would be to go server-side which I don't want to do.
This doesn't undermine the basic principle of the free market, people are just now learning about unintended consequences of the free market.
The fact that they have the option to make this decision is the problem - a payment system _should not_ have the option to cut someone off, without a warrant from a court.

This isn't allowed for utilities, why not the same for payment systems?
Not really. They are more concerned about government cracking down on the banks due to these acts.
My summary of claims:
Opensource AI is too dangerous and can't be left as it is. It's scary that everyone can just create AI and we should make laws regarding this glaring issue. Proprietary AI is more accountable, transparent and easier to fix than opensource AI. Opensource AI is more bias-prone by it's nature.

No arguments presented. It's just that. Everyone can change opensource AI and add biases. Unlike companies, who are accountable and will easily fix it if something goes wrong. Tech is too powerful for simpletons to wield, we should restrict it.

The problem is that your API then doesn't have a clear specification. Or maybe it does, but this doesn't communicate it.

Showing some examples can still lead a team to run into an edge case when they find a different behavior for a different value passed in the API body. At least OpenAPI has a way of documenting such behaviors.

xkill ?

But I agree. Emacs should be faster.
Don't checks and other payment mechanisms also solve this problem? Obviously not as conveniently as Mastercard or Visa, but it is disingenuous to assert that credit cards have a monopoly on payments.
Also if your refrigerator was installed properly the door closes when it isn't fully open. For efficiency the refrigerator pump wants to be perfectly level and so the fridge comes with adjustable legs to precisely set the level. The people building it will have set the hinges so that once level the door has gravity slightly on its side until you open it very wide. Thus unlike most internal doors in a house if you leave it slightly ajar it will self-close.

This makes accidentally leaving a fridge door open pretty unlikely I would think. Unlike forgetting to lock a front door or close a window I've never even worried that I did this.
No, they're concerned about "real objective harm" to their business—like the fundamentalist/evangelical Protestant churches in the US collectively deciding to target them (in various ways) because said churches think they're the arbiters of an absolute morality that decrees that taking pleasure in sex is a sin.

This is exactly the case.
That's because concentration camps refers to your own citizens. Which doesn't excuse what happened in those US facilities. This isnt a trivial distinction; government's have a specific responsibility to their own citizens which goes above and beyond. Besides which china does some super sketch stuff on its border with north Korea.
true, but it requires you to go to their website and pay. You still can't put payment links to third party payment processors in the app. You have to offer something big enough to get them to choose to take the time outside of the app.
Probably a good idea for anyone that reaches the level of becoming a “public figure”. Log off, go do something with your hands, and come back in 4-6 months. Might reduce the incidence of formerly respected figures going full crank.

1) Chemistry and physics has nothing to do with the pseudoscience of ayurveda, and vice versa.

2) Even if somehow you could make the connection (which I still strongly doubt since I haven't seen the these Ancient Indian vacuum pumps in museums any more than I've seen a vimana in a museum), it still would be hardly relevant since it would be the same connection as between a car and a screwdriver. A screwdriver can be employed to assemble a car once you know what parts the car should comprise, but you'd most likely describe the resulting car as a thermodynamics-based device, or internal-combustion-heat-engine-based device, and not as a screwdriver-based device. Likewise, a vacuum pump utilizing mercury can be utilized to manufacture a vacuum tube, but most people would probably describe a triode as a electrostatics-based device, or as a thermionic-emission-based device, not as a mercury-vacuum-pump-based device, not matter where the mercury vacuum pump came from.
There are lots of payment processors who will deal with explicit content. They tend to be fairly expensive though - partially justified since apparently chargebacks are outlandishly common. For example, CCBill will process essentially anything that isn’t illegal, albeit with 6% fees for “risky” industries and 10-15% fees for “adult” industries.

(As an aside, one sort of neat thing about CCBill is apparently they’ll never kill your account without warning, unlike PayPal & co)
They could make the credit card more save, so it wouldn't be so much a problem.

In favor of Lisp I must say that having an image where you replace things instantaneously can be a big plus in exploratory workflows.

Same goes for Smalltalk in this regard.

But you realise the danger of this, no? If you have a bot in your private server listening for all messages, those messages are being sent off to somebody else. You have no way of verifying what they do with those messages. They could be logging them, using them for targeted campaigns of any kind. It's a huge privacy issue.

I think Discord requiring ID for large bots is a right step towards being able to hold these bot authors to account. But it's not enough.
>I am not sure how to ensure your Rust function being panic safe.

You could use the linking trick in which your panic handler uses non-existent extern fn. For example, this approach is used in the no-panic crate. Of course, this approach is nothing more than a clever hack with several significant limitations.

I would say it's a more general problem of Rust lacking linear types.

I am not aware of any existing regulations that would make this particularly risky for the banks. I am aware of a very vocal minority that wants to limit sex to heterosexual and procreative (and ideally not fun at all), and then only when the man wants it.
I thought it was a side effect of "know your customer". Sex work is high risk because it's adjacent to trafficking (organized crime) and underage workers result in CP. It's very difficult to determine if every amateur sex worker is a consenting adult.

Depends on the cryptocurrency. If you're talking about Monero then yes.

As for the others, they are far less private than you think and the majority of cryptocurrencies out there can still be traced.
Can we please make laws that stop people from calling everything AI! We do not have AI. We have processes for looking at data which scale very well, why are not self aware, they are not making connections without being told to do so.

Indeed, daily standups are the worst for so many reasons. First of all, everyone's just focused on what they're about to say to justify their employment, and nobody's paying attention to what the others have to say, which was ostensibly the whole point. The only one paying attention is the manager/lead, whose real, not so secret job is to make sure nobody's slacking off.

The second is that productivity in a creative occupation just doesn't work that way. We're not factory workers assembling widgets on a conveyor belt. Einstein didn't give fucking daily updates on his theory of relativity. No, we're not Einstein, but daily updates ensure that we're not thinking meaningful deep thoughts, instead giving in to short-sighted thinking like a starving beggar looking for their next meal.
I didn't know of xkill. Thanks!
Almost every country has a dark side with slavery. Slavery however was not what made empires.

What makes empires different is that they extracted the riches from lamds abroad, thru violence (stealing) which often meant war, murder, and pillaging. Usually this was followed by slavery. Slavery itself was often transactional consequence between to original human traffiker and the idiot buyer.

The US was a global power before it went on military adventurism. It can be argued whether the US could have become a world power without slavery, but that line of question can be leveled to any other country with significant power today.

The US became a global power and incredibly rich , in spite of its government only deciding to stick its nose abroad starting around the 1960s.

The US may have done pretty dark things abroad in the last 50-60 years. But thats when it really starts. And by that time, we had already a monopoly on world power.

If anything, the US has proven that it's technique for stealing to keep its advantage has been incredibly ineffective and downright inept (cuba, vietnam, arguably Afghanistan)

This is unlike china, that steals as a matter of national policy, and its stealing its way to the top
ARC was a marketing gimmick, after the failure of getting a conservative GC to properly work with the underlying C semantics alongside the mix of frameworks compiled in different modes.

The only thing it does is to automate the retain/release calls of Cocoa classes, or classes that offer similar API.

It doesn't apply to any other C like types from Objective-C, and basically the generated machine code is hardly different than when devs keep doing those calls by hand.

Yes there is some potential for the compiler to remove needless set of retain/release pairs for short lived objects, it doesn't happen all the time though.

Swift, also despite the ARC marketing, made the sensible choice to go with ARC, because one of the key designs was interoperability with Objective-C runtime.

As shown by RCW/CCW runtime used by .NET for interoperability with COM's AddRef/Release, there is a lot of more machinery required to have a tracing GC cooperate with RC scheme, so it was understandable this route wasn't chosen for Swift.

As some papers prove, current performance isn't that great, which is also Swift 5.5 is bringing a more aggressive optimization, which is turned off by default.

Check WWDC 2021, "ARC in Swift: Basics and beyond".
Your hypothesis seems to be that the invention of cooking made us unhealthier? That seems unlikely.

Do they offer any meaningful differences to an otherwise "mainstream" language - anything beyond syntax, tooling ecosystem and the usual functional vs. procedural vs. OOP paradigms?

Anything I can't just whip up in modern C#, C++, Java or Python if I wanted to constrain myself to a specific subset of features or a specific paradigm?

I get the "it's fun to try something new every once in a while" part but people tend to forget that the distinctions between programming languages have blurred significantly over the last 10+ years.

Batteries are already not really production constrained, lithium based batteries are more supply constrained than anything else the current global supply of lithium isn’t going to sustain current growth rates unless we start extracting lithium from the oceans.

This is one of the primary drivers for alternative chemistries and non battery energy storage such as green hydrogen and kinetic or thermal storage.

Hydroelectric isn’t relevant for the vast majority of the population and hydroelectric that doesn’t have a severe impact on the environment is even rarer.

Not many countries have the topology and water sources as Sweden.

We should’ve been building and advancing nuclear reactors since the 80’s instead we had the likes of Greenpeace blocking coolant intakes and outflow pipes to nuclear plants and the Greens in countries like Germany running a hybrid war against nuclear power for decades.
Absolutely true. Whoever is downvoting leave a comment to explain. Are we okay with banks discriminating against free speech but not against porn?
I wouldn't lay retention entirely at the feet of big tech. Yes, there is changing jobs to get a bigger pay bump than staying but that's been true to greater or lesser degrees in a lot of places for a very long time.

But what's also been true for a very long time is that, outside of some of the older larger companies, Silicon Valley has normed job tenures for a lot of people that would seem ludicrously short most other places and would, in fact, possibly make those people unhireable.

Yes, proprietary systems are so accountable. It only took "the prosecution and conviction of hundreds of [innocent] sub-postmasters for alleged theft, false accounting and/or fraud, resulting in imprisonment, loss of reputation and livelihood, bankruptcy, divorce, and even suicide amongst those involved" before the UK Post Office's proprietary Horizon system was found to be the cause.

So far no-one responsible for the computer system or the prosecution has faced any repercussions.

There is nothing wrong with admitting that a certain group of people is smarter than another one. I would be very surprised if the members of the group I did my PhD in were not much smarter than the average programmer.
This is the dirty little secret that everyone clutching their pearls over the OnlyFans 'scandal' won't talk about. There are plenty of providers who will deal with porn, but porn customers are shit customers who no one wants -- the fraud and chargeback rate is incredibly high so the cost of processing payments is equally high. The advantage that crypto brings to porn payments is not the pretend anonymity, it is that there are no chargebacks so you do not need to deal with fraud prevention.
Our bullies here in London are ring-necked parakeets. They are the most bad-tempered birds on the feeder, preferring to peck at each other, and other birds, than to actually eat. I keep one feeder with a cage over it to give the smaller birds a chance. Luckily they only come mid morning and late afternoon, so again the other birds get to eat in peace.

Spring and early summer we have breeding starlings who also cause a commotion on the feeder, but that is more of a good natured scrum, they eat very fast and disappear in seconds.
