>What matters is how we respond to them. In this case the US response was completely botched. This is in part because the team that had been in place to deal with emerging virus threats was disbanded and also in part because the CDC was forced to focus on making the president look good instead of dealing with the virus.

Your confrontational attitude and make believe reasons, dismisses you from any and all future discussions on this matter. You have demonstrated that your are unfit to comment. Please refrain from posting.
Totally reasonable if you ask me! Too bad for the dropshippers
Doesn't help that some dating apps archive your expired matches conversation so you don't even have the option of going back.
As others have said, there is no “illegal” when it comes to international relations because there is no global body to enforce it.

Just like power within a nation, it’s violence that maintains order in the end.

The US had the motto “might makes right”. Wikipedia seems to suggest that there is no agreed upon meaning to that statement, but I always viewed it as “being right doesn’t matter if you can’t back it up with force”.
Hm very interesting! So what it sounds like is that CLR started out like a JVM-like VM, but now they're adding a WASM-like VM to it :)

That is, WASM is a much more natural target for C++/Rust than anything higher level. It can also express unsafe code when you consider the issues brought up in the paper, i.e. that it's unaware of heap integrity. Conversely, the JVM/CLR was traditionally better for Java/C# like languages and you couldn't run C/C++ naturally.

This makes sense as I've heard some of the more recent C# features are to recover performance, like value types, slicing, etc.
this is indeed a big roadblock to self-hosting.

There needs to be a seperate service provider that offers this expertise possibly for a fee.
Because it's going to be very hard to move France or Germany into the Pacific. Hell just moving them a few hundred miles into the Atlantic will be difficult .

Ah, couchsurfing. It truly was a paradise and a fantastic community. I have a lot of fond memories when I would just hitchhike whole summer throughout europe and beyond. Meeting all sort of people with every background imaginable. I don't think there is a way for me to recreate that kind of freedom anymore. And the community was really trusting to the point of ridiculousness - I remember one host in Italy had some emergency and had to go out of town for a day while I was about to appear and he just texted me where he left the keys lol

The altered quote above may be a bit of a pessimistic quip, but I think in this day and age, nothing comes quite as close to Herbert's `Spice` as peoples personal data. Gather enough of it, and you do not only have the ability to glance into an individual's past, but into their near future, too.

Amazon the company offers a lot of services. Soon you'll be living in your Amazon Home [1], ordering food from Amazon Groceries and household items from Amazon Basics. You'll be working at some Amazon owned company [2][3], drive an Amazon vehicle [4] and pay for your Amazon insurance[5] with your Amazon issued credit card.

I find it harrowing that antitrust laws have been neutered so much in current times, where a breakup of the few well known Megacorps would have been necessary a decade ago. Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, etc. are slowly creeping their way into every aspect of life where there's a chance for monetary gain. Currently, a few select ventures are so large they can either outprice any meaningful competition for years until they fold, by just eating temporary monetary losses; or swallow them and incorporating their spectrum of products into their own lines. Even worse, some control the one and only marketplace on which competition can spawn, giving them the ability to shut down their opposition for inane reasons. Look at the FlickType keyboard on the Apple Watch for an example.

> I wonder what, if anything, will replace dating apps.

A friend of mine, John, first met his future wife while accompanying a third friend to an evening of speed dating.

The thing is, neither John nor his now wife, actually participated. They were both there, begrudgingly providing moral support to their respective friends, and smugly watching the whole spectacle from the sidelines, when they struck up conversation.
> On terraform it's different, because of the tfstate. All the deployed elements are stored in the tfstate, re-running terraform won't update resources that are supposed to be in a specific state but are not.

This is incorrect, and makes me wonder how the author has used terraform. Terraform will certainly detect differences between managed and current state for the resources it manages whenever you do a plan/apply.

The major challenge is that terraform _can only reconcile resources or configuration values it knows about_, and that depends very much on how a particular cloud vendor or terraform provider has modelled resources. I believe the Helm provider is one example where it (at least in the past) haven't had a good way to reconcile state.
IIRC Australia has also used internal border closures between States.

That is unconstitutional in the US and therefore never even considered.
This seems to have a central data-harvesting angle according to the article. The threat to banks is described as:

"And that means they'll be further away from the mountains of data others are hoovering up about the preferences and behaviours of their customers - data that could be crucial in giving them an edge over banks in financial services."

"Embedded financial services takes the cross-sell concept to new heights. It's predicated on a deep software-based ongoing data relationship with the consumer and business," said Matt Harris, a partner at investor Bain Capital Ventures."

This is how you build a dystopian panopticon, isn't it?
Correlation is not causation. Testing objective ability (as opposed to essays and extracurricular engagement and volunteering) is the best thing for talented but poor kids. The alternative is cultural class markers that Anglo-style "holistic" testing selects for. That's much harder for a working class kid to acquire, compared to learning math and physics well. Saying this as someone with peasant and working class ancestors who could never set me (or my parents) up with all the fancy credentials and cultural experiences that my richer classmates had (foreign vacations, sailing, skiing, horse riding competitions, networking in high society etc). But I could study in school and could pass the objective tests.
They won't start with passenger planes, first will be cargo flights, then once this is accepted as normal, it will become more ubiquitous over time.

Your 'common sense' remark is likely referring to fly by wire, which was created in the 1940s and adopted commercially in the 70s and 80s

Intelligent flight control systems using neural networks have been developed heavily over the past 20 years and will become a large piece of this as well.

Particularly in England & Wales, most hiking trails are well-mapped. Because we have no legal right to hike on private land (which is why I call out England & Wales separately from Scotland, Scottish law differs), most hiking trails are either specifically created by public bodies (national trust, etc) or are historical rights of way.

Show HN: Interviewless -A streamlined dev-to-dev freelancer network
As a 45yo straight male, I’ve found women are eager to set up a meeting within the first five or so messages, sometimes even hinting at it by the 2nd message… all I have to say is something like “it says we’re 15 miles apart, what part of town are you in?” and they’ll suggest meeting somewhere in the middle.

Of course I’m dealing with an older than primary demographic (30-50), which might have something to do with it, but I think you’ve hit on a scarcity issue caused by the temporal nature of interactions on the apps themselves. The longer you spend online, the higher the chance that someone else will come along and be more efficient in setting something up with the one you’re talking to.

I’ve only been on the swipey apps for a month now, but I’ve found myself regularly unmatching anyone where I feel like it will be too much work because of this phenomena. It’s like an incurred opportunity cost of dealing with people who are too hesitant.

Step 1: Convince Republicans that a democracy is better than a republic.

You'll find this incredibly difficult in practice, because the last two Republican presidents were elected with a slight minority of the popular vote.

If you can't do this, you can't expect Republican Senators / Representatives to go along with you. Without Republican Senators/Representatives, you can't change the Constitution (aka: write an Amendment), you know, the thing you need to change if you want to get rid of the Electoral College.
I most european countries it is also prohibitly expensive for customers to send something to other coutries. So in turn we world only buy cheap shit from Amazon that we knew we wouldn't care to return anyway.

Naturally this limits the opportunities for Amazon.
I honestly don't think the paywall was such a bad idea. The barrier to entry was too easy, there were too many people on the platform who had no intention of hosting and were just looking for a free place to stay. The very small contribution at least ensures some level of commitment.

My sentiment exactly.

None of which are cargo vans suitable for business use.

The Mercedes eVito , Nissan NV200, VW Transporter and Crafter, Renault Kangoo etc. are all electric cargo vans specifically targeting commercial use. Admittedly, one problem they all share is that they are big heavy cars built on last gen electric platforms, meaning they have pretty crap range. But they exist and are available on the market today.
Building new things is fun, maintaining what you've built not as much. I suspect most software people would agree.
That only works in so far as the government you're blowing off doesn't have the willingness to actually shut you down and block you or actively threaten your employees in the country (as reportedly happened to Google).
It’s so crazy to me that people wonder about this. Maybe it’s people who’ve never had a normal job. But most jobs suck. Most jobs are demeaning and poorly compensated. Most jobs can and will fire you for no good reason and most jobs provide little to no protection. Most jobs will fire you for being late a couple of times. And most jobs come with no respect or prestige at all..what’s wild to me is that people don’t seem to understand that. I guess they never unloaded trucks in 100 degree weather for 8 dollars an hour or mopped up gas station toilets at 5 am for 12 dollars an hour.
Agreed, and I really with partial() was a builtin in Python, instead of having to fetch it from functools. partial() is useful regularly, and much more explicit/flexible than a lambda for this specific use case.

I read you. The half of the Terraform's value today is "let's have common aesthetics - especially the examples and snake_case_naming_convention - and convert any REST API in the world to that".

The typical example is to start from there:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/API_V...

and arrive here:

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest...

If you review it carefully, it is apparent how much coding effort and many moving parts were used to perform a transformation which seems disproportionately primitive.
Currying makes it implicit, but it's the same thing.

const one = curriedSum(1)
one(2)

is the same as

const one = sum.bind(null, 1)
one(2)

with the exception that the latter is explicit and not as slow as `curriedSum`.

Both `sum` and `curriedSum` can be used the same way:

curriedSum(1)(2)
sum.bind(null, 1)(2)

or just:

curriedSum(1, 2)
sum(1, 2)

One of the advantages is that non-curried functions make the return value explicit. You can't implement `sum(...addends)` with currying because curried functions have a fixed number of parameters. Once past that, a call will not return a function anymore.

sum.bind(null, 1).bind(null, 2).bind(null, 3).bind(null, 4) // Still not called
curriedSum(1)(2)(3)(4) // Maybe it works, maybe undefined is not a function
I'd rather devote my time learning an agnostic tool like terraform. I can be part of your team right now working on AWS but tomorrow I might be working for an Azure shop.
Yes but the code doesn’t do anything to make users comply with agreements.
I’ve always wondered if the A-10 was saved because of John McCain, the now decreased senior AZ Senator. A-10s are based out of Davis Monthan Air Force base (possibly others) in Tucson AZ. Tucson, Arizona’s second largest metropolitan area, would be devastated if DM ever closed. McCain was extremely powerful, as chairman of the armed services committee, he could have help prevent the A-10 retirement.
You're right, I should have been more careful when writing that comment. I was trying to express that the original issue was fixed (and the "new issue" isn't actually an issue as far as we can tell), I didn't mean for it to come out hostile but I definitely see how it looks that way. I could have done better.

Heck, I enjoy watching Yu-gi-oh with my nieces. It turns out that full fantasy fights with completely different sets of rules is certainly a genre. Sure, its a cartoon, but the entire point is that the fights progress by a completely different set of rules on purpose.

You mean like Star Wars stormtroopers? In something like 3 movies, they only ever land ~2 or 3-shots off on the main characters (R2D2 and Leia in the 3rd film IIRC).

I think about some older movies I've enjoyed: Star Trek, Flash Gordon, etc. etc. Plenty of "1000-to-1 odds" going on and yet I still enjoyed the film. Or Indiana Jones. The 1000-to-1 odds thing is basically an ancient trope: found in old epics / stories, and even movies from decades ago.

Your France vs Sweden statistic disturbed me so I looked into it and Sweden seems to have by far the highest Covid deaths in the Nordic countries.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/1113834/cumulative-coron...

I’d like a per capita chart but I can’t find one. Norway has about half the population of Sweden and has 18x less Covid deaths though. Maybe France and Sweden are too different to compare directly?

https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s...

Norway and Sweden seem a much better comparison and they had pretty much opposite responses to Covid.

“Norway closed educational institutions, and banned sports and cultural activities; Sweden kept most institutions and training facilities open.”

To me this implies Covid lockdowns etc may have caused a ~ten-fold reduction in per capita death rate.
Yeah that's true, I was a bit harsh.
Let’s say I break a law and the ICJ decides to prosecute me. Who comes after me?
Ah, TIL.

If we are being pedants. Wikipedia says:

> currying is the technique of converting a function that takes multiple arguments into a sequence of functions that each takes a *single argument*.

So the article isn't currying either. It's a hybrid between currying and partial application.

TBH I can't think of a practical case where you'd prefer currying over partial application. Theory/philosophy aside.

So the other major religious objection would be Christian Scientists, who wouldn’t use any of the listed drugs anyway.

> On terraform it's different, because of the tfstate. All the deployed elements are stored in the tfstate, re-running terraform won't update resources that are supposed to be in a specific state but are not.

Huh, is that true?

I'm just getting started with terraform but I assumed that was the idea of terraform (where it didn't happen would be a bug), and I think I had seen it happening for the few basic resources I have started out with (S3, cloudfront).

If the state doesn't match the actual configuration of S3, terraform notices, and the plan is to make it so. No? Am I confused and it hasn't been doing this?

Or is this is inconsistent, true of some resources and not of others? That seems surprising. What's the idea?
Yes, the sad thing is that we could have redirected one tank worth of funding 10 years ago for an entire years supply of N95s for every American just waiting in local warehouses to be distributed.
