Honest question: have you tried writing first? I communicate with a few people via email every few months. It might start with a forwarded email, or just a quick how-do-you-do, then it deepens into long multi-paragraph replies over the course of days. Being able to sit down to write and rewrite what's been going on without someone watching the little typing bubble means I can get more in-depth with how I've been feeling. I would give it a shot. Try sending people a quick email. If they never reply, no biggie. If they do, you may be surprised at the result.

Hey, I'd love to connect more about what you're working on and definitely collaborate. I'll check out flow and dapper as well, thanks for the suggestion.

For me, identity keeps coming up not just in my own projects, but also in other places I'm seeing as well. Almost every decentralized system/protocol I've come across has invented its own identity system, and boiling that down into something that's a) like PGP but actually easy to use and b) takes most of the useful parts of the identity systems in other protocols seems like it would be really helpful.

Do you have code posted for you project? I'd love to look.
I'm guessing you have just met "prosecutorial discretion" for the first time. Prosecutors have to power to never bring charges against their friends and allies with basically zero risk.

Consider the Jussie Smollett case. Kim Foxx, the Chicago DA (and allegedly close to Smollett) dismissed charges rather than recusing herself and bringing in another prosecutor.

It took widespread outrage to reverse that decision and Foxx still has her job.

Anything smaller than national outrage against a DA is almost always entirely overlooked.

Your next shock will no doubt be about the nature of grand juries. A prosecutor chooses what information to show to the jury. It is perfectly acceptable to leave out incriminating evidence or to leave out vindicating evidence.

A prosecutor can get friends and allies off the hook or punish opponents this way while claiming "the people decided". The whole grand jury system needs to be reworked to ensure it is more equal (or simply done away with).

> At least when the controllers are all classes I can unit test them.

There is normally not such a big benefit in unit testing them, as controllers should only call some service behind. This service you can test.

Controllers are better integration tested, with a mock service behind. So you actually test if your routing and response codes are picked up correctly by the framework.

There is TestServer for asp.net core. It gives you a very easy solution for integration testing, if set up correctly they are nearly as fast as plain unit tests.
If people hadn't invented a method to do Gaussian integrals, entire subjects like statistical mechanics and quantum field theory would have been nonexistent.
Accidentally got born somewhere is a very US centric perspective. Most countries do not follow Jus Soli births so this is not enough for citizenship. Citizenship is a matter belonging to a nation, past, present and future.
Traditionally families have been the principle unit of human organization and citizenship acts as a generalization of the family unit to the nation as a whole. The answer to your question is pretty simple if you replace citizenship with family relations.
This is perhaps changing as neoliberal ideology emphasizes individuals over families or collectives, but this is a separate matter.
A simpler explanation would be that it's just the way it works in every human society ever.

The article addresses that, and suggests the problem is that in most contexts 'epi' loses the i in compound form, e.g. eponym.
The distinction lies in whether the service provider has rendered themselves a "publisher" under 230. The protection has historically been broadly interpreted but, in theory, Facebook could lose the protection if it chose, selectively, what content to promote or remove in violation of its own public TOS.

Even if it's legal I wouldn't put up with that, and something that extreme would need to be detailed thoroughly in the lease agreement. If it's not, you didn't agree to it, and I'd be telling them to leave or you'll be calling the police to have them arrested for trespassing. Then I'd be moving ASAP and suing them for breach of contract and a return of previous rents.

Generally, at least in the US (every state differs slightly) a landlord or their agent can enter your apartment only in an emergency circumstance or with your explicit permission after requesting. The only time they'd take photos is after you've moved out to photograph damages for evidence if they with hold any part of your deposit. Your landlord should not be snooping around your house every 90 days, that's ridiculous. In the US, it's common to change the locks on the door after renting and then turning in the new keys when you leave.
> At what point do we just give up with side-channel attacks on consumer devices and assume the mentality that all consumer devices connected to the internet should be treated as insecure by default.

There is always an endless stream of vulnerabilities for every piece of tech you use: software, OS, router, etc. This fact is not a good reason to embrace security nihilism, for consumer devices, routers, or servers. When any vulnerability is found, it should be remediated within reason (likelihood of exploitation, severity of exploit) and life should go on until the next one is found. That's one of the persistent costs of using technology.

By normal people, do you mean the terminally online twittersphere? Your average person has no problem with most of the pejoratives the internet sees as off limit.

Let's not overestimate the critical thinking skill advantage separating journalists from other people. I can check the citations as well as any editor, sometimes better because I know some things about math and have no reason to be biased.

When there's no scene to be at with a camera and nobody is getting interviewed, I just don't see what the media has to add. Spending years pouring over account records? Interviewing a eyewitness to get the real story from a hundred conflicting ones? Combing through a million tweets to find one with a video of a natural disaster? Those are things that a journalist could conceivably do better than I could.
> It's not very diverse, is it?

The responsibility of an immigration program to its citizens isn't necessarily to maximize diversity. It's to maximize the benefit to the country. A points-based immigration program would allow the country to optimize along any number of axes: under-represented minorities, skills, etc.

> The problem is that the number of green cards is relatively fixed, so there has to be some way to distribute them that prevents two nations from taking almost all the spots.

Is it? Canada brings in 3x as many immigrants per capita as the US does. It's brought in 1% of its population each year for roughly the last 100 years - so the equivalent of 3-4M green cards per year. I think there's probably a lot of wiggle room.

I drive Uber for a few months. I hate the idea of "hourly minimums". Maybe we can have that for full time drivers.

But, I would go out on "unprofitable times" (when my hourly pay was substantially less than minimum wage due to a lack of rides) and read books (that I would have read anyway). Doing this I made small amounts of money while doing a leisure activity.

I loved the ability to drive less than full time in exchange for less pay. I don't want to be "on the clock". If I am on the clock and I am not actively working, that is time theft. If I am driving Uber and I don't feel like taking that ride because I'm at a good point in the book I'm reading, I'm free to just sit there.

I liked that option.

Rather than require minimum hourly pay, I want to increase the minimum per mile pay and require Uber to pay the drivers for the time and miles spent driving to the riders.

But please no hourly pay.

Maybe I'm the outlier - but everybody I am "friends" with on social media I'm friends with IRL (save for Twitter, but that's more blogging than social media). We just post what we did this weekend and stuff like that. Post stuff that the kids are doing (and for some of my friends what the grandkids are doing). No one is trying to impress anyone else. People just staying in touch. Maybe we older folks have a better feel for how to integrate technology into our everyday lives than we're given credit for.

One application I can think of would be to dialog systems. Tracing the meaning in a conversation between two strangers is determined by statements and responses, and the degree of unexpectedness of each utterance. Say a person asks a yes or no question, but gets a response along the lines of "I'm talking about X, not Y"; it would be useful to be able to go back and retrace the conversation at that point and try different responses in an effort understand what's being said.

GP referred to "not-so-elite." In this case, the small bit of "eliteness" would be white, male, athlete (All-American), upper middle class, accepted into a good college.

My code reviews of others is often "please add a test", then nothing happens for 3 days, and I get people saying "when will this be done? it already passed UAT! get it moving". then stuff gets merged without tests, and the cycle repeats. Not ALWAYS, and commit/merge absent tests is sometimes required.

The shoe was on the other foot a few years back and I was contracted on part of a large/legacy enterprise app product. I could 'fix' a bug, but couldn't always write a test, as I just didn't understand the system well enough to grok what was there. Policy was "you have to have a test". Fair enough. I remember hitting up 5-6 other devs on the team - some of whom had been there for 10 years - to pair for an hour or so to help me write a test. The same people who were blocking the PR requiring a test would not help me write a test. Some were honest enough to say "I don't know how you'd test that". But... it was frustrating. I had a 20 minute code patch (which demonstrably fixed the bug to the PM's satisfaction) take 8 calendar days to figure out how to test. Then a reviewer didn't like how the test setup was done. When they learned it was done with code from a colleague (and not of my own doing) they suddenly liked it and said it was 'clever'.

Happy happy days...
Sure. And people writing 's.230 allows Facebook to have its cake and eat it, by allowing them to control their content and yet have immunity from responsibility for that which they choose to leave up' have a point. But there's an awful lot of people arguing that this or that moderation decision means that Facebook 'have now moved from being a platform to a publisher' and should be sued. Normally when Facebook have taken down something the commentator agrees with, or have left up something they think is harmful.

s.230 has no platform/publisher trade-off. If you're an intermediary and not the original information provider you are expressly not the speaker or publisher, irrespective of your editorial choices. That's the whole point of the provision. And it's really straightforward. A lot of people seem to want to muddy the waters, and they shouldn't.
Nicotine, like caffeine, is a vasoconstrictor, which is part of the addiction characteristics. Don't drink your coffee and you get a headache due to swelling.

I assume they put smokers on nicotine patches when they are in the ICU for COVID, yeah? Otherwise that's a double whammy of inflammation.
In what sense is Facebook not a publisher? Their algorithm acts as an editor, choosing what to show me. If they had a simple chronological feed, then the platform argument would make sense.

If the NYT created a service where the articles I see were selected algorithmically, would they suddenly not be a publisher?

While the project is super interesting, this seems like network horror to me. Not only is something "wrong" with the network (guessing dns.msftncsi.com is blackholed), the author is setting DNS servers statically on his clients instead of using DHCP. If I'm right that the domain is simply blocked, I think it counts as yet another horror that the author did not realise that before buying a replacement WiFi card. It pains me that the blog post never explains the root cause of the issue nor whether it was intentional.

Risking his life to save a young child was a selfless and commendable act, and his actions really helped add color to the national perspective of illegal immigrants in France, who have often been discriminated against and viewed as selfish.

This is your regular reminder about Preaching To The Choir.

Telling each other about the evils of software patents might be satisfying, but it has zero effect. The proof is that they're still there after almost 30 years, and programmers have hated them from the start.

Here's the problem:

(1) lawyers, as we know, don't want to solve problems -- they want to make them part of their practice.

(2) your corporate managers have already spent millions on patents, and they listen to their lawyers.

(3) your professional associations (ACM & IEEE, looking at you here) are not on your side either. I don't know enough about their reasons to speculate here but you're free to.

Do a search on "abolish software patents." There are organizations devoted to doing that. Join one.

The EFF has a lengthy article [1] and note the date: 2012.

When I was at Google an engineer / lawyer (yes, there are a few of those) wrote up a one-page bill for Congress, declaring all software patents obvious. I picture you all asking a Congressional candidate at a town hall "Do you support abolishing software patents?" and watching him or her panic and stall, and direct their staff to look into it.

Finally, I got the "file wrapper" for this patent. It was amazingly quick: less than two years. The PTO rejected it and then they amended it, and that's pretty much all there was. These things are incredibly boring to read and I can't summarize the details in any quick way.

There is also the flip side too where a block of code might just have a lot of problems and I’m trying to evaluate if it’s too hard in a public forum to flag all of them at once. If possible I try to flag a couple and to sit down and offer to do a one on one for more.
Yeah, but who knows how many of those are “ghost ships” that were built for local businesses over 5-10 years ago, were never touched since, never got security updates, and now load slowly because there’s a bitcoin miner churning away in a subprocess because they got hacked 2 years ago.

To make a slightly problematic, somewhat poor taste analogy: 50% of the worlds houses (not a real stat, I’m lazy) have sheet metal roofs. All of the following are likely true:

- sheet metal roofs are wayyyy better than nothing for keeping the rain out. If you can’t afford anything else, definitely use them.

- Most people with sheet metal roofs would probably prefer something else, and would choose something else if the option was on the table.

- The prevalence of sheet metal roofs as a roofing material says less about sheet metal’s awesomeness as a roof than it does about factors that have little to do with sheet metal roofs (like global inequality).

- If you talk to construction workers in developed countries, they’d grant you that sheet metal roofing is quite prevalent worldwide, but they’re more interested in other materials and techniques that provide real substantial benefits.
But there are multiple ways to return a file type. There are also multiple ways to define a route. You can name the method item[] GetItem() or use attributes [HttpGet] item[] Items().

I'm sure I have a biased view, but i hear people care about privacy in the same way they care about leaving facebook. They would like to, in a purely theoretical manner, but they aren't willing to change anything about their life to get that effect. It seems like many people only care enough about privacy to click a button.

Sure some people actually remove facebook, but the overwhelming majority of people are voting that they prefer the services offered, even with the tradeoffs. Unfortunate, but seems likely to me.
