Real world observation has shown DCMA requests have been used against individuals and extremely small (1-3 person) corporations. Biting back probably requires having a lawyer at least on contract.

An option to also sue for damages might be worth adding, mostly as a political bluster point. Sending someone to spend time in JAIL for purger is the real deterrent.
The problem for me, who intermittently fast for quite long time now, is that it is not possible to stand the level of sweetness in many, many foods. And for other foods you begin to notice mood changes. So, I guess, the sugar and carbs get ruled automagically, when you eat being really hungry.

It is fiscally conservative, Democrats doesn't try to reduce the dominance of the 1%. It is however not socially conservative, they are probably among the most left wing in the world with respect to race if you only count popular parties. And since "far right" today is mostly used to describe racists they wouldn't considered to be "far right".

Instead in Europe the democrats would just be a typical right wing party. Meaning they are pro immigration to stimulate economic growth, pro healthcare for all etc.

Yes, on the other hand if you own a $5k car then the insurer’s liability is much smaller & there are plenty of older cars on the road driven by older, safer drivers that fit into that category.

This was regarded as a weird corner case even then & was mostly just used as an example of why you should try tweaking various features of the insurance you were after, because the price could sometimes change in ways that might seem counter-intuitive.

Interesting interpretation. However, what the reporter did is pretty analogous to finding a classified document on the ground, looking at the first couple pages to see if they were legit, then informing the correct authorities before writing a news story. Which is still something you want to encourage, and is insane to prosecute.

Haha yeah I'm fairly used to seeing HTML escaping in my name.

The weirdest case I've had with that is the Six Flags mobile app. To add a season pass you need to provide your card number and last name. For the life of me I couldn't get it to validate, but I saw they showed the HTML escaped version in their e-mails to me. Turns out I had to type out "&#39;" into their input box for my last name as that's apparently what they put in their database.
>Today, we’re also making changes to the service fee in the Media Experience program, to better accommodate differences in these categories. Ebooks and on-demand music streaming services, where content costs account for the majority of sales, will now be eligible for a service fee as low as 10%.

And I think Google has always been taking 15% on the first million revenue on services. Which wasn't clear in the post.

The 10% changes is welcome. But may be too little too late in terms of legal and regulation.
I think what the previous comment alluded to was that your mixing up efficacy with overall duration of protection. But re you're "Who knows", there are studies[0] that tracked the same group of people over a course of time after vaccination.

So if you have a 90% efficacy after being fully immunized, you can still get covid.
The data in that study indicated that efficacy after 6 months was at 50%. So now you're even more likely to get covid.

As a comparison: The influenza / flu vaccine is around 40-60% effective against infection.

I thought the original comment at the top of this thread was quite respectful and written in a non-inflammatory way. It may contain an uncomfortable truth, but that doesn't make it divisive, other than to the extent that saying "this this true - and this thing is false" is divisive.
> You've used a GOTO under the hood.

That it's under the hood is the point of using constrained control-flow control. It's significantly easier to reason about `if` and `while` and `for` than about `goto`. That is basically the same reason functional programming have more HoFs than `fold`. You can do everything with `fold` and that's a problem because it creates way more cognitive overhead for the reader, they can't know what the code is trying to achieve until they get all the details, nor is the compiler able to check anything.

Likewise goto.

Most people don't try and min max every facet of their life. If it eventually returns on their investment relative to dirty energy, they are happy. There's also people who are given the option on their utility bill today to pay extra for renewably sourced energy, and they do it. People put up solar panels in Cleveland where its sunny for 80 days a year, they aren't getting a great ROI but they do it anyhow.

IMO it's impossible to have a civilized discussion about Trump, so the flag is justified. It's fine to know he's making his digital platform, but I don't want to read or talk more about him.

Trump, like all other demagogues, thrives in conflict and division, and those are all you can expect from discussing him.

Techbro libertarians are the worst - the people who think that because some can be successful, anyone who is disadvantaged is so because of personal failings and is underserving of help. Naturally this leads to anti-democratic leanings to protect their wealth.

You’re throwing away your whole point with your last two comments. You started off productive, partisan, yet clear in your convictions (a good thing).

The person that replied to you showed you the gratitude of civilized disagreement and discussion. Then you got mad and unproductive.

I agree with every word of your first comment, but make no mistake about what happened here.
Why is there nothing better than Git?

I mean...

It is a centralized service that does not take any benefit from being a centralized service like other collaboration software. At the same time it is a bit decentralized but not really.

The way Git works have an impact on how you build things.

In private corporations. ACL is needed for compliance and so on and you end up with a lot repos. Then it propagates on to build pipelines and so on.

There is no proper way to control secrets.

There is no good built in way to separate users from service users like agents and so on.

I wonder what the large IT companies use. Surely it can't be Git as is.
Agreed, I wouldn't use Clickhouse for usual warehouse stuff either, mostly because I can't imagine it plays well with dbt which is a non-starter these days.

I'd still argue Clickhouse is closer to Snowflake/Redshift than anything OLTP, and their name is intentionally chosen to evoke warehouse-like scenarios.

Not at all astonishing. :-) Modern cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) originates[1] from the 2000-year-old work of Epictetus. Cicero memorably called philosophy as "the medicine of the mind". Going back to Socrates and Epictetus, philosophy was "a way of life", and not tying clever knots in thin air and untying them.

Where it basically boils down to Trump's social media venture making him $250M (-expenses), via a SPAC deal, regardless of whether it's successful or not.

So presumably a good outcome for him would be to (a) hire the cheapest employees, (b) create a bunch of headlines, (c) sell more stock pre-launch, (d) fail to launch, & (e) blame the failure on Big Tech.
The only caveat I would imagine with what you said is in the case of prescription drugs. Drugs of all kinds can have interactions when combined with together (both known and unknown), so disclosing the usage of non-prescribed supplements and alternative drugs can be vital information.

However, in the case of the GP comment about Norway -- if there are legal ramifications, then I suppose this becomes a more complex issue to navigate. Though, if "socially unacceptable" drugs and their usages were not so stigmatized, this wouldn't be an issue either.

One can see something like this in the US a bit. There is a somewhat rare condition called CHS (Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome) where chronic, long-term users of cannabinoid products develop a condition similar to Cyclical Vomiting Syndrome. For ER professionals, telling the difference between the two (and other GI issues) can be extremely difficult -- especially if the patient does not disclose their usage of cannabinoid products. Some ERs are starting to drug test patients exhibiting symptoms of CHS/CVS to help in the diagnostic process, so they do not have to rely on patient honesty.

Your definition of a business might be a “an organization that produces a product”, but that is not the legal definition. A business can even legally be a bundle of paperwork that owns someone’s nice car.

> long term memory and being able to "predict" the future

If this were the case, wouldn't drugs that temporarily inhibit the access of long term memory and the ability to predict the future also inhibit consciousness? This doesn't appear to be the case, because high doses of psychedelics and dissociatives do this, but consciousness definitely continues, just in a very odd, altered state.

> - You can do a lot of this offsite as well and ship prefab components to the construction site. So, there is less waste on site of material that needs to be removed after. Existing construction work involves extensive use of power tools and produces enormous amounts of waste.

Prefab/offsite fabrication can be done with most building types, it's always a tradeoff of many factors: transportation costs generally go up, onsite labor and onsite construction time goes down, offsite labor and construction time becomes a thing, precision usually goes up since the offsite construction is often in a more controlled environment, site specific adjustments can be more difficult depending on the specific methods. If there are standardized pieces, that can reduce overall time to complete a project if there's some amount of warehousing rather than building just in time; offsite construction may also speed up projects when there's more capacity to build components in a factory setting(s) than with onsite labor.

For concrete offsite fabrication, you're looking for words like 'precast' and 'tilt-up'.
Easily solvable with a hash.

I have thought this through (I'm ashamed to admit).
Its standard GOP politics we've seen for the last 4 years. Use the legal system to bully people not to make you look incompetent. This is unique because he's using the criminal system and not the civil courts. How many people did Obama sue in office? Compare that to Trump who's gone after family members, the media, etc.

>One party is very much in favor of a more level playing field, for the most part. One party is very much against it.

I mean, I would hardly argue that the Democrats are "against" a level playing field, but it wouldn't be a stretch to say that they are opposed to such a premise. The fact is though, just because we both strongly dislike progressive ideology does not mean that we need to harp on their shortcomings at every opportunity.

In my mind, it is the constant put downs and negativity that breeds contempt. The thing of itself need not be the act, but merely foster such a stance.
This is either excellent satire or a symptom of going off the deep end.
It really is shocking how hard it is for people to be able to separate gender and sex. One would think writers, who ostensibly need to understand nuance, could figure this out.
Hello @PeterZaitsev!

Actually Altinity is the one that contributed the bits to TSBS for benchmarking ClickHouse[1], so we are using the work that they contributed (and anyone is welcome to make a PR for updates or changes). We also had a former ClickHouse engineer look at the setup to verify it matched best practices with how CH is currently designed, given the TSBS dataset.

As for the optimizations in the article you pointed to from 2019 (specifically how to query "last point" data more efficiently in ClickHouse), it uses a different table type (AggregatedMergeTree) and a materialized view to get better query response times for this query type.

We (or someone in the community) could certainly add that optimization to the benchmark, but it wouldn't be using raw data - which we didn't think was appropriate for the benchmark analysis. But if one wanted to use that optimization, then one should also use Continuous Aggregates for TimescaleDB - ie for an apples to apples comparison - which I think would also lead to similar results to what we show today.

It's actually something we've talked about adding to TSBS for TimescaleDB (as an option to turn on/off) and maybe other DBs could do the same.

I hear what you're saying, but since there is such a zero chance this results in the journalist going to prison - I'm not entirely sure it has any effect - honestly if I was trying to become well-known as a journalist, I'd very much want to be in this spotlight - I'd be trying to find another mess up on Missouri's part to become part of this story. It very possibly has the opposite effect (the "Streisand effect").

The only _known_ effect is that this becomes a hot story and we're all outraged one way or the other.

"Whataboutism" is an informal fallacy that most non-technical folks (as in, not logicians) mis-invoke, like almost all other informal fallacies. My argument is not even remotely whataboutism. In fact, it can be even formulated without addressing the "other side" at all: you're making a category error by going from general (party trends) to particular (individual voters).

It's simply a bad argument. I only brought up the "other side" to help analogize it, my apologies if it confused things.

This type of stuff happens all the time- Northern Colorado has asked to join Wyoming, there have been various schemes to join parts of Appalachia together, etc. It all comes down to rural areas trying to combine with other rural areas, or occasionally, urban areas trying to expand.
I doubt your claim that it is unidirectional or nontransactional. I would argue throughout the ages the parent-child relationship has been both bidirectional and transactional with plenty of hidden gotchas and a power imbalance to top it off.

I feel sorry for trump and I hope he at least has some fun with this project, I mean its not every day that you get the chance for a term or two in the highest office of the USA and then to be ridiculed for the dumpster fires that resulted has to grate on the guy. Think of it, he's not getting any younger and it has to be pretty clear even to him that he's generally considered to be a failure, especially given his embarrassing behavior post election.

I hope enough folks join up that it becomes a positive experience for him, with his last attempt it was obvious even to him nobody was interested.

Really, the story of trump is just all around sad and I'm not so mean I can't feel sorry for the guy.
Agreed, personally I think 3-5% would be fair anything more is rent seeking.
DC doesn't want to be part of Maryland (they like being independent and feel that Maryland's concerns are not theirs) and Maryland doesn't want DC (they feel it would move the centre of gravity of the state even further towards the DC suburbs, making it worse for the further-flung parts of the state).

National Democrats would also like two more Senate seats (and both DC and Maryland are predominantly Democratic, DC absurdly so) while national Republicans are happy enough with the status quo, giving DC no voting representation in Congress at all. So there's no strong momentum for movement on any side except DC's (who don't have the power to do anything about it by themselves).

Hey there - I'm one of the co-founders of Reflect so just to give my perspective:

The workflow for creating tests in Reflect is pretty similar to Rainforest: we both expose a "cloud browser" that loads up your webapp and you interact with that to create your tests. The biggest difference workflow-wise is that Reflect records all your actions automatically, whereas with Rainforest you often need to both specify what step you're going to take, and then actually perform that action in the browser itself. Recording everything automatically is technically harder to pull off since it's forced us to ensure we accurately record every step you take, but we think it makes for a better workflow since you can create tests faster, and there's less chance of inaccuracies that cause tests to not be repeatable.

I would quibble with the statement that you need to be far more technical to use Reflect - we're a no-code product after all. :) We have plenty of folks who aren't developers using our product. But the good thing is that both products have free tiers, so users can always give us both a try for free and decide for themselves.

Edit: Also their statement about Reflect running in headless mode is incorrect. Our test grid is a cluster of VMs: we spin up a Docker container for each test run, and each Docker container is running the test steps using a normal non-headless browser.
