Two of the most prominent of them started when they were pre-teens so I'm guessing a parent was pushing them, perhaps to live their dreams vicariously though their child. But as they got older, it should have been clear to the teens, especially when they got to college, that they were part of a deception. Guess once you're on the world stage, it's hard to step out of the spotlight and go back to being just another face in the crowd, especially if you've never been just another face in the crowd. As the media's attention moves on to someone else, there's a good chance they're going to suffer some crushing psychological harm.
Going purely just by the title... So what? Is this trying to point out some kind of hypocrisy? Because I don't seen it.
Do you not see how the argument that vaccines are about "pillaging minorities" makes no sense? This is not about experiments that are being conducted on particular populations. This is about a mass vaccination campaign. One in which all Americans are being encouraged to get the jab.

It seems that you have trouble viewing things outside of this racial lens. My original comment was in hopes that you would start to consider this in a different light and understand why there perhaps might be race neutral reasons that people are hesitant. The opioid crisis is much closer to what people are afraid of. They're afraid that the vaccines are meant to help, but that they might hurt, at least if they're in a particular age group, or have a particular pre-existing condition, etc.

It's unfortunate that you're not willing to treat this issue and your political opponents with more empathy, but there's nothing I can do about that. At this point, you're pretty obviously downvote baiting me with outrageous comments, waiting eagerly for me to respond, so this is the last I'm going to engage with you.
> Do you not see how the argument that vaccines are about "pillaging minorities" makes no sense?

The argument is about government distrust. I'll skip the rest of your post.
That's another way in which embedding it back into reality takes the force out of it... an algorithm that merely does a good job isn't a paradox, nobody has a problem believing that such a thing could exist. The average human might swear up and down the algorithm couldn't predict them, but certainly it won't have a hard time predicting everyone else pretty well. (A variant on "when I misbehave, it's for various good reasons, but when others misbehave it's because they're jerks.")

The paradox arises around the 100.00000000...% accurate algorithm.

Builder pattern. In a language that accommodates it well, such as Elm, it would look like this:

IconLib.downloadIcon

|> IconLib.withColor "red"
|> IconLib.withCssClass "dl-icon"

Allowing currying of any parameter like:

standardDownloadIcon = IconLib.downloadIcon

largeDownloadIcon = IconLib.downloadIcon
|> IconLib.withSize 16
If my favourite youtubers started posting exclusively on peer tube I wouldn't mind at all. One has outright stated he suspects he'll be cancelled at some point, and already dual uploads. And I check his instance fairly regularly.

To break it down further - it's not much of a deal breaker to go to "coolvideoguy.com" instead of searching "cool video guy" in the youtube search bar.
Immutability is not real. There is always a hosting with files. For this reason a community should manage such uploads, and not a random community without rules or values, and not onto a nameless server, for things to be reasonably flexible at first.

Permanence comes from distributivity and from real hardware, not from IPFS. Its pinning is only a few days long, in reality. It's not really a hosting, rather a sporadic buffer.

> help him secretly unlock AT&T phones, freeing the customers from any installment agreement payments and from AT&T’s service.

How are phone service contracts written in the US? In Canada, if you want to cancel your service, you have to pay the remainder of the price of the phone that you got on contract. Phones have to be sold unlocked by law, but even before this regulation was passed, it was not like you could get a locked cellphone on a 2 year contract and then cancel the plan after one month and keep the phone for free.
Disgraceful. This makes me irrationally mad.
> It's usually illegal to have a gas station operating without an attendant.

Not in most of the US States I've visited. There are all-night gas stations across the nation that are unmanned.

> Except it costs some money to open and close the store, costs some money to have alarms & surveillance while the store is closed

I think you misunderstand. He's proposing that the competition of the 2-4 gas station clusters at most highway offramps/some intersections are over-competing. The permanent closing of some is a net good for the economy.

Multi-trillion dollar companies will eventually note how they are taking increased losses/less profit when faced with the current economics (wage floors, limited spending power of the middle class, etc).

Is this true? Probably not because the owners are largely franchisees who will not simply sacrifice their entire livelihood because profits are down. It's not like the owner of a Mobil station can set their own gas prices (near total control of these locations is baked into the franchise agreement, like with many large brands). The multi-billionaire brands aren't sweating a dime off their own fees when some location can't survive and closes down.
>instead of trying to somehow help

The most popular winners of the hermancainaward that you're lamenting the loss of are the kinds of people who would aggressively decline such help, and probably shout at you for offering it.

You may call me a bad person, but I was quietly hoping that Trump died from the pandemic he exacerbated and Bezos' rocket exploded in a blaze of justice. Those people wouldn't shed a tear for you or your family, why would you for them?

Views are a really nice feature in Julia. In Python's pandas library, it can be really difficult to determine if one DataFrame references another or is an independent copy. Julia makes this more obvious.
Do you realize how hard it would be to disentangle nature from nurture on a gender-wide, cross-cultural study? You have some unchecked assumptions about biology - there may be indicators at a very crude level, but I don’t even know how you could design a real world study that would support conclusions you take as assumptions.
Okay, we’ll I agree with your assessment. But it’s turtles all the way down…

Ultimately every human, and every creature on earth is coerced to work for survival. Thats the only way I can interpret your definition of coercion.

It’s okay to say you want a society where people can feel free to escape that. But that utopia which we haven’t yet reached needs to be earned.

I don’t, and I don’t think anyone has a solution or answer for how to get there.

But as of today, if you want to be free not to work, the only way to do it is to take from someone else who has been coerced by nature to survive and provide.

In the mean time, our society has at least allowed us to provide, each according to our gifts so we don’t all have to be farmers or hunters.

Bettering working and labor conditions should be the goal of all of us in society. Unfortunately it’s not. But as I’ve said in other threads, that’s something that has been and will continue to be fought for.

No philosophy can free any human from that.
While it's a good to think about childcare, something more constructive needs to be done about growing up in the modern world than extending the caging of modern children.

John Taylor Gatto (iirc) advised keeping kids out of school as long as possible, as nothing important is learned in the first few grades that wouldn't be learned anyways, or couldn't be learned more efficiently later. http://johntaylorgatto.com/

If the government were to extend school-as-childcare, it could be done in a way that restores the ability of children to learn from the real world. I don't know what 4, 5, 6 and 7 year olds should be learning, but imho Pre-K, K, 1st and 2nd grade "classrooms" are stifling.

Gatto's essay, Dumbing Us Down: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling, is all over the interwebs.

I get that what he's trying to do is decrease the rate of closure between the main gear and the runway at the last second by rotating the plane.... But isn't that going to be negated by the fact that pitching down increases your rate of descent for the airplane as a whole. The energy of the aircraft sinking has to go somewhere... Traditionally that downward motion is stopped by the flare.

Maybe this works for Eric here, the youngest G-280 pilot in the world according to his bio. I would rather my pilot just follow the checklist set out by experienced company test pilots working with multimillion dollar budgets alongside the engineers who designed the systems.

First it was a time were no vaccine was remotely on the radar so media weren't promoting a non-existing solution. It's only months laters that some get approved for experimentation on humans.

Secondly linking participation to social life and freedoms such as moving inside the country (or heck even buying food!) to the vaccination status of an individual is totally unheard of. The last time remotely similar measures were implemented was during WWII were passes where need to go from occupied zone to zone libre. This whole thing is astonishingly shocking and it's scary how many zealots will defend it. Especially now that data shown the virus is only dangerous for a very small segment of the population (obviously increased in countries were large segment of the population is obese).
Evolutionary bio makes psychology look like Newtonian physics, in terms of objectivity and generalizability.

Depends on if you're considering the generator perspective or the grid perspective.

The grid doesn't simply want megawatts. It wants a balance of supply and demand, and a minimisation of outages.

Wind and solar cannot be spun up on demand. Hydro can be, and in general is (much lower-capacity hydro is grid smoothing). Hydro will even suck capacity off the grid where possible (pumped storage).

Geo which can load-match, disable when grid is oversupplied, and fill in for cloudy & windless days, makes all kinds of sense at the grid level.
> “Being from the lower class can be an obstacle,” says Seals. “We found that having a job on campus, in food service or whatever, seems to harm you. I think it signals class, which is part of the reason we’ve got inequality issues and a lot of people are shut out from entry-level employment.”

This is not going to be a popular opinion, but it also signals relatively low levels of skill/initiative. Some teacher told a class of mine at one point that no member of the class should ever work a minimum wage job as even coming out of that class, there was probably something more profitable that we could be doing and some niche that we could be pursuing.

In the age of the side hustle and the boundless opportunities of the internet, working a min wage job points to you not succeeding at 5 other potential options before that. You couldn't get an internship, you couldn't freelance, you couldn't get a tangentially related job (lots of people I know did research in a lab if they didn't get an internship), you couldn't find something to sell to someone (friend sold sheds one summer), and you couldn't find a miscellaneous source of money (mine was hackathons and innovation challenges), so you served coffee to the people doing those things.

You either didn't think of those options or you failed at them while plenty of peers succeeded. Neither is flattering.
This is pretty much the identical argument of 4chan alt-right movements, where the value of free speech is primed so high that they do not think about collateral damage.

There's a reason books and movies have an age restriction. The reason is that kids are not able to understand the consequences. It's easy, as an adult, to rationalize that they see it eventually.

But if you had a welcome screen with some gore porn on your computer...would you a) use it in a public cafe? And b) use it in front of a kindergarden?

Why not? Exactly. The same reason why communities should be able to decide why they do not want to host gore porn on their companies.

Free speech works two ways. If I decide I dont like gore porn on my computer, but the peer to peer database/blockchain/whatever decides for redundancy purposes that my computer has to host it, I'm not gonna use that technology again.

Users must have the decision what kind of content they want to see. Otherwise it's gonna be the same propaganda machine all over again, where content of hate and emotions will persist longer than content of rationality and logic.

I'm not for corporate or government censorship, but people that can't read comments correctly are a much bigger problem.

> But it’s not a parody, it’s an obscene reality.

Yes and: They're using spiffy tech to further accelerate inequity. aka Pay to play.

"Property taxes represent the single largest source of own-source revenue for America’s local governments. Cities, counties, school districts, and special districts raise roughly $500 billion per year in property taxes, roughly 70 percent of local taxes. Whether residents rent or own, property taxes impact everyone.

In many cities, however, property taxes are also inequitable: low-value properties face higher tax assessments, relative to their actual market values, than do high-value properties. This tax regressivity disproportionately burdens lower-income residents.

To better understand these issues the Center for Municipal finance has reviewed millions of sales records for properties throughout the country. This site presents the results of these evaluations."

https://propertytaxproject.uchicago.edu

"When’s the last time you thought about property taxes? We mostly accept them as a part of society, and assume that they’re being calculated fairly. But a leading University of Chicago scholar says that assumption is wrong.

A breakthrough study from Prof. Christopher Berry has shown that, on average, homeowners in the bottom 10% of a jurisdiction pay an effective tax rate that is double of what’s paid by the top 10%. Essentially, the poorest homeowners are subsidizing the richest, with disproportion effects on people of color who own property. We talk with Berry about why this happening, how it’s affecting communities—and what we can do about it."

Children have vivid imaginations and often haven't quite figured out that dreaming about something isn't enough to make it happen. That the news agency would try to shift blame on to her is disgusting. Children some up with stories about their imagined life all the time, what kind of journalist takes a child's story, especially about the extraordinary, as questionable fact?
Excellent advice. That trains your mind to avoid getting stuck and get un-stuck in the future.

When I get stuck on a problem, I'll imagine how I will soon be thinking back on what happened, after I solved the problem, hitting my fist on my forehead and exclaiming "why didn't I think of that?" It jogs me out of the rut and makes me remember other times I had to think "out of the box" to get around a problem. Often it's something I wouldn't normally think of when approaching the problem directly from the front, like something in the environment, or a broken tool, or an incorrect assumption, or a misunderstanding. So I imaging myself past the problem, looking back in the rear-view mirror at how I solved it with the 20-20 vision of hindsight. Simply reminding myself of other times I've gotten out of a rut in the past dissolves my present frustration and helps me get out of the current rut, even if the causes and effects are totally different.

I think this was the missed opportunity for Google+. If I recall correctly, when Google launched Google+, everyone we knew and wanted to communicate with was there. They had all the communication infrastructure, and even built it into the app with messaging and hangouts. But it was just mixed in with all the stuff you could do very well on facebook, and that everyone was doing on facebook.

They were on to a good trend with circles, and that was a great differentiator from facebook, but they couldn't really tell us why we should use Google+.

If they had focused down onto a niche in communication, I think they may have been able to crack the code. They would have been able to say "google+ is where everyone you know is, your friends, collegues, and family, it's the place where you can communicate with these groups independently."

Unfortunately, they tried to be all things to everyone, and ended up being nothing to nobody.
Texas literally stopped extended unemployment last week. That means it’s going to end soon.

I talked to the owners. The applicants aren’t even asking what the pay rate is or negotiating it. They just don’t want to be out in 100 degree Texas weather picking up dog poop and are holding out while their paychecks still come in.

So real world data, real world talking to people, rather than just conjecturing on the internet.
I don’t need to spend any more time with static typed languages that avoid generics. I wrote Go for several years, tried to love the simplicity, then tried to love code generation. Then I gave up. I don’t need to repeat that experience.
TLDR:

> Pen is a statically typed functional programming language for application programming with system injection. Its design is heavily inspired by the Go programming language and many functional programming languages like Haskell and Koka.

... Pen aims to be even simpler [than Go] by ... removing several features from Go like pointers, mutability, method syntax, global variables, circular references, etc.

... Pen's approach to that [maintenance] is embracing battle-tested ideas in such field [software engineering], such as Clean Architecture, into the language's principles and ecosystem. One of its most clear incarnations is system injection.
