Indeed. She goes to high school every day, is fully vaccinated, and sees her friends all the time. And we were only taking the phone for the night and maybe the next day... if she didn't make her lunch and shower.
These are far from the worst patterns. I've seen so much awfulness out there.

My favorite recent one was a renewal if you don't cancel by a deadline that's months ahead of the actual end of the contract period and it also had a substantial rate increase and all the language that we supposedly agreed to wasn't actually present in the contract we signed.

Those terms were in one of those "incorporate by reference" clauses where it says this contract incorporates terms and conditions that are at the following URL and it's 45 pages into the fine print of that URL. I mean supposedly, since it's their URL and could just change the terms whenever they want and lie about it.

Which by the way wasn't clickable in the Docusign. Basically it was in an unlit basement behind a sign that said beware of the leopard.

It's not ethical. It's just exhausting to deal with some of these companies. I think we all know who they are, they tend to be concentrated in the field of SaaS companies that cater to the sales and marketing functions.

Lately I've had what I've found to be a fairly clever solution however. We wrote up a standard document that contains our terms and conditions for SaaS providers.

The key clauses basically say "We hereby give formal notice that we do not consent to any automatic term renewals, any automatic price increases, any charges to credit cards made 'on account' without our specific consent as to the date and amount charged. To the extent our agreement requires advance written notice of any of the above this letter serves as that notice." and so on.

Then we send it certified mail to the company's corporate HQ address and keep the tracking number. We do this on the same day we sign any software contract, it's basically an automated process at this point.

So whenever it comes around, and it has, we just say sorry we've already given formal written notice we don't consent to that. Here's a scan of the document and the USPS receipt maybe work on your internal communications.

The fact that we have to do this is apalling but hey it's better than the alternative.
And after having spoken and been declared a fool, are we not allowed to say "no more"?
It's not inconsistent to want to 'badly want to help' groups that aren't on your political side. I may be a left-liberal, but working class conservatives arguing for lower taxes are in fact arguing for an arrangement that would benefit me far more than it would benefit them.
You go from being "not familiar" with the guy to having a deep "no possible other explanation" opinion really quick.

For example, yeah! But you would still have to code the stuff around it. Like tracking referrals etc. :)
If you WANT to do better, but are unable to, that's not laziness. Laziness, at least as I see it, is more like "I could do more, but I don't want to, so I won't."

I also don't think framing any difficulty as "being lazy" or "spoiled" is helpful, especially if you're directing that at yourself. Even if it were true (which sounds unlikely to me!) there's no actionable step to fix being lazy, so it's worth ruling out the other potential causes before you write yourself off like that.

So the useful thing to do, and the one that is most kind to yourself, is assume you are not just lazy. You are having some kind of struggle, but let's take "lazy" off the table for now.

Others here have mentioned ADHD, anxiety, burnout, sleep apnea, or depression. These can definitely all lead to the kinds of symptoms you're experiencing, and it's worth talking to a doctor and a therapist to figure out what could be causing this.
Being "cancelled" is about people's attitude toward you, not whether you remain employed. People will still know what you said, and still not want anything to do with you; that's what I mean when I say you're still "cancelled". They may behave immaculately professional toward you (because they're required to) but it won't be a pleasant place to work, to say the least, and you probably won't choose to remain long unless you're unusually stubborn.

In any case—I don't care for cancel culture myself, but I wouldn't risk the far more fundamental freedom of association over it. Social ostracism ("cancelling") is sometimes necessary, but only as a last resort. People need to be shown that there are better ways to resolve disagreements and react to objectionable behavior, past or present, which don't involve rejecting the entire person and all the good things that they've done.

I invite you to consult your own experience.

I don't know that much about the internal workings of BLM. But I would think the most effective path forward is to become a viable, powerful political bloc, and then use this power to court local establishment politicians. (Heck, in a better time even the GOP would not be immune to the lure of millions of coherent votes!)

This approach won't work because blacks don't vote. Which I frankly don't understand. Even with problematic voter laws, I can't think of a scenario, short of someone pointing a gun in my face, that would stop me from voting. And yet, awhile back in the Abrams race in black turnout in Georgia was like 50%. That is...insanely low, and implies a thick, wide self-destructive streak. It bodes poorly for the community, because if you can't be bothered to help yourself, then what hope do you have of changing your situation?
IMO the issues with controls are worth the tradeoff. The alternative ends up being annoying sites like arstechnica (non-AMP) which relocates content while you're reading it.
I definitely expect there to be a ton of stable investment opportunities in crypto (DeFi, NFTs, etc.) Of course, the problem is you can't know now which one of these are that vs ones that will go to zero.
> (cancelling books getting tends to be done by one side and cancelling professors is often done by the other side

I can name dozens of books that have been "cancelled", almost entirely by conservatives.

Depending on the definition of "cancel", I can think of very few professors that have been "cancelled" [0] at all, and roughly equal numbers by conservative and progressive perspectives.

[0] "cancelled" in this case seems to typically mean not a lot more than had to listen to some unpleasant feedback on their views and/or behavior.

> This should be OK and I almost prefer it. Get a JTAG or SWD adapter, learn how to use GDB and the self test hardware

I'd really like to write a test that e.g. confirms that if PB13 goes high for longer than 10ms, and event is triggered. Yes, I can run that code on my MCU - but actually testing it requires pressing buttons. With an emulator, I could easily write code to mock out the behavior of external hardware and confirm that my code is handling that input correctly.

> Related to my first point

I'm actually talking about a constraint of Rust - not the HAL or PAC.

Per https://docs.rust-embedded.org/book/concurrency/index.html the canonical way to use a GPIO from an interrupt is something like:

static G_LED: Mutex<RefCell<Option<LEDPIN>>> = Mutex::new(RefCell::new(None));

fn main() {
// get the gpio and pass off to mutex
let mut led = gpioc.pc13.into_push_pull_output(&mut gpioc.crh);
// Move the pin into our global storage
cortex_m::interrupt::free(|cs| *G_LED.borrow(cs).borrow_mut() = Some(led));
}

fn interrupt() {
static mut LED: Option<LEDPIN> = None;

// load the led from the global mutex
let led = LED.get_or_insert_with(|| {
cortex_m::interrupt::free(|cs| {
// Move LED pin here, leaving a None in its place
G_LED.borrow(cs).replace(None).unwrap()
})
});
// actually use the led gpio here
}

If we were genuinely using G_LED from main and from the interrupt, the mutex song-and-dance makes sense, since we want to be careful about how we share use of this resource. But since we just want to set it up in main and use it in the interrupt it's a LOT of confusing overhead/abstraction.
Is this a case where "one person one vote" going away may allow more candidates to actually appear?

If you're a fringe single-issue candidate, you can more easily push your issue by running on that issue (while adopting most other parts of the most similar mainstream candidate).

In our current system you would be a spoiler. With a better voting system like Approval, you would not. I prefer RCV to Approval (so the single-issue candidate can signal issue strength) but either are a big improvement to the status quo.
Why would Thiel, an individual, "cancel" and destroy an entire corporation? (And how often does that even happen, anyway?)

It seems disingenuous to not also mention why Thiel was angry with Gawker, and to not also mention that most people will never be in a position to be able to fight back when a giant media corporation publishes private and personal details about our lives.

So it’s more about the framing and language than it is the actual relationship itself?

I think my perspective differs slightly in that I don’t see anyone “making out like a bandit” and the exchange is (ideally) mutually beneficial. Another angle is that vendors can be so crucial to your business that it also feels more like a partnership. At least that’s how I felt at Stripe working with customers (who called me/us their partner if we did things right)
>Yes, but specifically lashing out when interrupted is an anxiety response (fight or flight), not depressive.

I wouldn't be so sure. Depression can skew one's perception of reality pretty hard such that they're rather crass.

Moreover, impulsive behavior can stem from many things beyond simply anxiety, depression or a combination thereof.

>But it doesn't matter - the bigger point is that we are not care providers for OP, and they should go find one, not listen to either of us.

Well said.
The critical thing is that you're aware that your friend in normal-mode will do different things than your friend in manic-mode. The default assumption is that people have various levels of predictability and trustworthiness in normal mode; learning that someone made a terrible choice once means that their morality and wisdom is not what you thought it was, or at least the variance is extremely high.

People with bipolar disorders are essentially two very different people. You'd be foolish to trust someone in the middle of a manic episode, but and they can be great friends and very trustworthy when in normal-mode.

The problem is that you have to know which mode they're operating in.

As a young Portuguese-Canadian, I was surprised to find out that most "marmalades" in Canada weren't made of quince.

In Portugal, "marmalade" was made of quince, period. The other things were probably called jellies or jams.

I've come full circle on it, as you can buy the original Portuguese marmalade in Canada now.

The Portuguese word for 'quince' is 'marmelo,' which is where the word marmalade comes from.

The psychosis that schizophrenic people experience and that of bipolar people is not treated as two separate “kinds” of psychosis by medical professionals. They are treated with exact same medications. We even have a specific disorder name for people whose mental illness includes the overlapping features of both (schizoaffective). So I don’t think you can move the goalposts away from “schizophrenic people can’t intentionally lie due to psychosis” and pretend the counterfactual is totally irrelevant so easily.
Unrestricted service at the highest plan level, 1 to 2 weeks, credit card not only required but is authorized for the plan price - do not settle transaction as it is still a free trial. This ensures:

1. Whoever tries the service at least theoretically met minimum qualification to be a customer - they have a credit card and can authorize several hundred dollars on it.

2. We get the real lead.

3. We limit the number of people who recycle free trials -- this happens a lot.

Open Discussion Questions for Those Interested
_that_do not fit into memory_ is an important caveat to your abandoning the speedup offered by SLOG for sync writes.

Case A : No SLOG.
You have sync writes and they hit memory, the transaction groups get flushed to disks and _only then_ the ack goes back completing the write IO operation.

Case B : low latency SLOG.
You have sync writes and they hit memory, immediately gets written to SLOG, immediately the ack goes back completing the write IO operation while batching in transaction group does the flush to disks in background(at slow disk speeds). Sure, if you are out of memory to commit those write IOs, you're going to hit the disks in hot path and get undesirable perf.

Case B surely is always better than case A wouldn't you say?

Hydrogen has good energy/kg, but it has really poor energy/l. Buses are mostly empty space so they more volume limited than weight limited. Battery powered buses are already far more common than Hydrogen buses and the trend will accelerate quickly.

In Europe, battery powered trucks can carry a heavier load than diesel trucks. The weight disadvantage of a battery powered truck is about a tonne. The batteries weigh a lot more than a tonne, but so does the engine, transmission and fuel in a diesel truck. The difference is about a tonne. In Europe, they allow battery trucks to weigh two tonnes more than diesel trucks, so... In America battery powered trucks have a 1000 pound weight limit increase.

Green hydrogen is always going to cost about 10x as much as electricity. Using electricity to electrolyze water, compress the hydrogen, transport the hydrogen, strip off the electrons in a fuel cell, charge a battery and then drive a motor is necessarily a lot less efficient than using than skipping 4 of those steps to charge a battery directly.

And truckers don't care about fuel density, they care about costs.
> Furthermore, either Common Lisp is Common Lisp, or not.

Not really. Currently the most Common Lisp is SBCL. There is software out there and the probability of being able to run it on a Lisp implementation depends on its compatibility (and the effort that has been taken to make it compatible). Medley is very different from most other Lisps, even from other Lisp Machines, so it would be interesting how get software in and out of it, make it compatible, etc. Actual software depends on more than just 'Common Lisp' (which itself has a lot of differences between implementations): file system, I/O system, characters, networking, threading, FFI, TCO, ...
Lisp Machines have a very different operating system and very different development environments. Lots of basic assumptions don't apply there.

> why should there be no effort to make Medley modern

There is already some. We'll see what it brings.

> Anyway, I like to go back into the roads not taken, to at least partially re-branch from there. There is much to learn from. From that what we have now, not so much.

Even though the past stuff interest me (and I remember a time, when there were active Lisp Machine users around), I learn a lot from stuff we have now, too.
I think the statement makes the most sense if you assume the 40 year old could choose to retire but doesn't. If they do retire, there's at least a greater level of risk to get to 65 with sufficient principal to continue paying out $40K/year. (Alternatively, the market is such that the principal is higher by the time they're 65.)

Of all the nasty things somebody can do with billing, I'm surprised the author leads with card-upfront trials.

"Free trials should not require a credit card."

This is opinion presented as fact. This is not a dark pattern. Totally unrestricted free trials are wonderful, you've invested a ton in your product and you want a prospective customer to experience everything. But there are legions of abusers and bad actors of all kinds. Having an opt-in to use/abuse your platform for 2 weeks is not always viable. Card up front is not a perfect filter, but it's helpful in turning this noise way down and letting you focus on helping actual prospective customers become successful with your product.
I don't think you're wrong but I don't think you're right.

Housing starts aren't necessarily responding to demand, because yeah, nobody wants to over-build and contribute to a default. Plus there are other factors that impact housing starts in most high-cost areas (i.e. availability of land to build on.)

I don't see a pop, yet I'm not certain prices will soar. People will typically shop based on 'what they can afford' and that usually means monthly payment; as rates went low, it was easier to bump up the ask price; the best way to put it is, if rates drop from 4% to 3%, you can finance around 10% more money over 30y with the same overall monthly payment.

I do think there might be some 'bumps' in the road, but ironically, many of the people 'waiting' will probably end up pulling us out of the bumps (or, maybe, causing another surge.) I think overall the most likely scenario is we'll see some periods of paused growth or slight decline.

Worth throwing out there, at least in US the housing market typically cools down a bit over the winter, so take any news of decreases in volume with a grain of salt.
That seems like just code-signing? If so: yeah, definitely, that should be supported by every packaging system. And it's largely ridiculous that it isn't. It removes the need to trust the packaging-host, so it's no longer a giant target for exploits that can modify every package at once. Go, using domain names, is probably in the best position to take advantage of this, as it allows you to lean on domain ownership (and maybe even use the same ssl certificate) rather than having to trust-on-first-use or something.
