> No, conservatives recognize that society is inherently hierarchical

A lot of your responses are simple yes-no with nothing really to back it up. This is your belief system, not a reality. This is analogous to a Muslim complaining about a statement "Muslims believe Mohammed is a prophet" and counter claiming
"NO, Muslims RECOGNIZE Mohammed is a prophet".

The only folks who are going to swap "belief" for "recognize" are other conservatives, which is not surprising.

In most of your responses you are basically just agreeing with me - simply providing unsubstantiated justifications for your belief system. I recognize your belief system- I simply disagree with it.

> The Bible doesn't say anything about using government coercion to help the poor and immigrants.

I am talking about the conservative Christian's asking for a Christian nation.

> Conservatives, more strongly than liberals, are resigned to the idea that you can't have one

They absolutely are not RESIGNED to the idea. They love it, want it and will spend enormous amounts of time, energy and money to defend and reinforce it - for example on tech discussion boards :)

> NYC and SF are incredibly hierarchical, while Iowa is incredibly flat.

Good for Iowa because federal tax dollars flow out of liberal NYC and SF to pay for the upkeep of conservative, fiscally responsible flat Iowa.

Also, liberals recognize that society will be hierarchical. But justice and fairness are important principles for liberals - not expendable burdens. Liberals "recognize" that conservativism is an inherent malaise of society and has repeatedly tried (unsuccessfully for the most part) to hold back progress in favor of parochialism.

In the United states conservatives fought to preserve slavery and prevent civil rights. I was able to immigrate here because the conservatives failed.

In India, they fought to preserve caste system, child marriages and sati and now are attempting to strip muslims of citizenship.

In Burma, they carried out a Rohingya genocide.

In the ISIS Islamic state, they butchered all non Abrahamic peoples they could find.

In Germany, there was this great nationalist chancellor who believed in a hierarchy of human ethnicities. And at the bottom were the Jews. Conservative jewish immigration expert Stephen Miller seems to be seized by similar ideas. Certainly, a gem of a man.

Conservatism is a platform for the likes of Stephen Miller, Bannon, KKK, white nationalists, motley crew of conspiracy theorists, anti science numb nuts - who if they find themselves in power- will destroy the very fabric of society that has helped humanity progress so much, painfully, step by step to this day. A certain German chancellor with strong beliefs in human hierarchies and conspiracy theories of the Atlantis comes to mind. Nearly managed to wipe out Germany.

> and we should hesitate to change longstanding institutions like marriage to address the needs of minorities.

Ah classic conservatism. I hope these gays don't destroy America!

I am sure Lidle doesn't pay in full cost upfront, but that's irrelevant.

The problem is that Lidl has the customer data which shows which products are most successful and it will compete with them.

Just like any other retailer, including Amazon.

Most of the time I use a dark theme. With some self-directed sarcasm: I’m a pretty cool guy; I was bullied and I spent the next 20 years learning how to cool. Like my life depended on it. From the amount of time spent multiplied by my dedication I’ve done an ~okay job. idk, as a example: I have a tall, scary-looking high-tech dirtbike on street plates and an Italian two-piece suit of fine gray wool and I show up to work on that. Without appearing to try hard.

So I think I have wasted enough of my life on trying very hard to be cool to claim the credentials to say:

What is truly not cool is people whose status and social signaling revolves around “dArK tHeMeS aRe CoOl” and turn their little noses up at people getting f…ing work done. Which is cool.

On my iPhone each of those performance improvements requires downloading ~250mb of an app, so I try to wait and stagger them.

Got gmail, drive, translate, maps, and home? That’ll be a gigabyte of “bug fixes and performance improvements” every week or two.
Presumably they want to take advantage of other functionality in the native dialer, and faking out the whole dialer interface will probably produce a huge number of other bugs. It's not unreasonable to integrate with native functions and in most cases we complain about apps that don't do that.
I actually started to hit this problem on my iPhone 5S. Not the slow down but the original issue that caused Apple to slow down phones. Old batteries that were really degraded would cause the phones to just die and shut off when the CPU had a spike in usage. I'm sure thats not great for the file system when that keeps happening. However it must be noted that it only started to occur after the phone was 5 years old and the battery had dropped to about 50% of its original design capacity. In fact this was one the reasons I eventually upgraded the phone...that plus I got a new job so it was time to finally upgrade the iPhone 5S to something better (a 1st gen iPhone SE ha ha). I could have just replaced the battery and continued using the 5S for another 1-2 years (as it had 1-2 more years of software updates from what I recall).

It's more than the mob believes it to be an ecumenical matter and you want it to be otherwise. If you want to participate, but aren't willing to trust someone else (which no one would blame you for), then your move is to run your own node. Like, that's the entire premise of blockchain technology - no one trusts each other - but no one has to!

Amazon regularly makes over $90B a quarter now[0][1]. ~1% or lower is not much, especially considering that this abuse of market domination secured them more revenue than it lost.

Hard to quantify (well the authorities gave it a shot) how much the abuse garnered them, but governments tend to under-penalize rather than over-penalize corporations.

It's because the transgender "cause" is not very interesting: either you re a fucktard and have a strong opinion on it but you're most likely low impact on society, or you don't care because it's so rare it will prob never matter to you.

So trying to get any sort of noise around your cause (because you like the attention, or you're tired of the fucktards for some reason) means you need to pretend there are very powerful people who care negatively. But it's likely Amazon or Wiki treat the "transgender" namespace just like the "carrot" namespace and care not at all what result it yields or what people have to say about it.

Any result this person would ever reach would be for more people to say "meh it's true it doesn't matter what gender you want to be" which probably will never satisfy someone proud of being trans to the point of organizing speeches around it.
The corporal protection racket not only protects your life but also built the schools and roads that made you want to live there in the first place. Why should your money go to a land owner which forces the government to levy taxes on income instead?

Amazed that you managed to draw this conclusion! It doesn't matter what apps I have installed and what they do, NOTHING should prevent me from getting a 911 call out if I have battery and coverage.
On the specific market. But Amazon EU as a whole makes 44bn per year, which at 5% means 2.2bn per year.

The hit is not sustainable if replicated across two or three EU markets, but if limited to Italy it's just a cost of business.
Would people please stop with that web3 non-sense. It doesn't even exist.
Please tell me more about how Amazon progresses society?
Chiming in to say i appreciated both of your takes and i think we have a vital necessity for both approaches. The issue at hand seems rather bicameral.
Yes, it's all very very familiar. The setup, the sitting around the amps, the mumbling.

It does away with the "magic" while simultaneously making clear you do need to have a natural talent for "coming up with stuff". Not so much "inspiration" but just being willing to be shameless and plug away at random things and follow intuition.

The process is nothing special.

Sure, I'll accept that. But the point isn't that the devices _are_ something specific, rather, the point was that the device _isn't_ considered a phone by the manufacturers. "Phone" is one function of the device, but no even its major selling point.

I think the author has a point to make that is definity valid, but she wraps it up in this hyper-western freedom ideal that says if you conform you may as well not have been born. To me this is a shame, because the argument that perhaps gender politics is entirely too violent at times and could benefit from having more calm adults is a reasonable one. It doesn't really matter if you are a proponent or a detractor, the hate is there for all to see. Sometimes it seems like this is what unites everyone who even cares to speak of these topics: no matter what they believe, they do so while angry.

I find myself wishing that this argument would have been made separate from the fetishism of freedom, which is in itself an position that is a little alienating in how it is presented (and angry besides - isn't this the problem?)
As a rule, every decentralised system in computing eventually becomes centralised. This is usually because it is more efficient to employ a hierarchical structure when implementing some functions.

Crypto is just like every other system - ostensibly distributed but centralised in practice.

The great exception to this seems to be BitTorrent. It remains decentralised and I wonder - what is so special about BitTorrent that means it hasn’t been replaced by a hierarchical system? Is it just “piracy” or is there something deeper we can learn from it?
It’s a nice theme. I can’t really see myself buying a theme for Xcode, though. I can easily afford it, but I don’t really need it. If I did need it, then I’d definitely get it. It may seem like a “trivial” thing, but I spend a significant part of my life, staring at code in a text editor. It’s worth taking seriously.

I run dark on my Mac, but use Xcode with a modified default light theme (off-white page background, with high-contrast monospace sans-serif text). Same with BBEdit (my general-purpose text editor). I use a translucent dark for Terminal, though. I don’t spend much time in CLI.

For whatever reason, it allows me my greatest productivity. I don’t really care why. I’m constantly coding, so it’s important for me to be comfortable. I’ve tried dark page backgrounds, a few times, and never became comfortable with them.

I’m not particularly interested in impressing anyone, or being perceived as “cool.” That ship has sailed. I am definitely “uncool.”

But I get a lot of stuff done, fairly well, and quite quickly.
Confused. Shouldn't we be fining companies that break the law? We should be expanding it, instead of complaining when another country happens to fine a company that happens to be from the same country as us.

As German, fine the fuck out of the corrupt people in Deutsche.
How exactly do you check your "calling apps"? I'm on Android 12 and have a list of "Phone apps". However, the only other app listed there (besides "Phone") is a VOIP app I specifically installed to make alternative phone calls with. Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram and not listed, even though I've used all of them to call other users on the respective apps.
Right, but there is a point to "it says Amazon Prime" == "you can have it shipped to a Prime locker". And just like to get something in a Poste Italiane locker you need to ship it with them (I heavily assume), that needs to involve Amazon logistics somehow, whereas everything else doesn't.

This actually makes me wonder about something I've noticed in Germany: Amazon has a DHL locker on file as my shipping address. But for third-party stuff not via FBA it's not available (at least usually), as Amazon doesn't know if the shipper will use DHL. Can a seller explicitly declare "yes, I'll ship that to DHL lockers" when setting up the product with Amazon, or are they excluded from that too?
> A fallacy because in many Western countries the heavy taxes on cigarettes cover, or more than cover, the financial cost on public health services (so smokers do pay from their own pocket).

They also die earlier so they don't use as much government resources in retirement.
I am amazed that no one at Google thought of what might happen if an app replacing the calling stack failed to dial 911.
Their product website lists using a door code (entered on a pad on the lock) or key cards as options alongside using their app on (presumably) Android or IOS.

Their solution may still suck and fail when some remote server fails or there is a power cut, but it doesn't require a smartphone.
These are not mutually exclusive things, as superiority of the systems is a multi-dimensional metric. I quoted cap'n proto as an alternative to protobuf that I would definitely choose over any protobuf, because in my book it does at least a few things better. Namely, the bits related to immutability & zero-copying, and random access. But at the same time I do not like and do not agree with your field optionality stance, as I think it is based on a false premise that a universal optionality is the only viable path towards compatibility. I will cite the original article regarding the matter to clarify this point:

> protobuffers achieve their promised time-traveling compatibility guarantees by silently doing the wrong thing by default. Of course, the cautious programmer can (and should) write code that performs sanity checks on received protobuffers. But if at every use-site you need to write defensive checks ensuring your data is sane, maybe that just means your deserialization step was too permissive. All you’ve managed to do is decentralize sanity-checking logic from a well-defined boundary and push the responsibility of doing it throughout your entire codebase.

This approach doesn't free you as a developer from having to maintain multiple code-paths as you claim to be able to avoid in your older comments ("you end up needing to maintain parallel code paths, leading to ugly and hard-to-test code").

Code paths are still there, they are now intertwined with your business logic as conditional checks on a field presence. At every calling site that utilises the schema.

That's one of the reasons why I prefer flatbuffers over cap'n proto when I have a choice, and it is the reason why I think that you are not fully aware of the issues that stem from the choices of protobuf and that are clearly manifested in ecosystems that model network communications via advanced type systems.

In fact, this comment from your linked thread suggests a similar idea - advanced type systems can provide a strict schema negotiation in semi-automated way, at a fraction of the effort required to maintain schemas with all-optional fields - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18201601

Inefficiency is not due to the choice between for and map, but due to them executing many times. When you run a quadratic algorithm, it doesn't matter whether it's implemented with for or map, it's inefficient in both cases. Premature optimization is when you optimize based on assumptions as opposed to diagnosis of the problem. You believe the problem is due to for/map based on a priori reasoning. You also believe your code needs hyperoptimization before it had basic optimization. Well indeed why not, your code can't possibly be bad?
Yeah, I don't think in the internet anybody cares about "ownership", but about authorship. But because of the incentives of crypto all of the energy of NFTs gets poured into "ownership" which provides zero value to anybody using the technology except as an investment.

I would be more interested on the web3 as an end-user if there was zero change of it being used as an investment.
Well I hope you never get as desperate as I was because this inability to see and evaluate alternatives would hurt you.
Amazon Introduces Alexa to Saudi and UAE (Middle East AI News)
Honestly my thinking was that this was a "Google" phone and it was advertised as such. All the software came from Google...or so I thought. Turns out as with everything from this trash company(Google), I was duped. The bug was eventually traced to a fault in the way the Qualcomm driver handled mixing and I guess they introduced a regression in the firmware. Yeah...I was super pissed so I looked into where the failure was occurring. I seem to also recall which file in the Android source was causing the problem. All they had to do was record a video and play it back! They obviously do not do real QA testing on each firmware release. Or maybe they automated it(like they do with all their crap) and their test rig missed this bug.

It was eventually fixed in subsequent firmware releases(while other things broke). After getting the iPhone as my daily driver, I opened up and started using the Nexus 5 as a tinkering testbed for custom roms. The smoothest firmware I have seen was a Cyanogen Mod release in late 2015 although it still had rough edges compared to my iPhone from what I recall.

Take into account that:

a) They will appeal in Italy.
b) Then they will appeal in Europe.

So I guess it will take quite a while for this to really impact Amazon's wallet. Meanwhile they can invest in order to have this money ready when (*if*) they lose.
Thanks for you coomment!

> The other big question is - why do you want to devote your time and effort to it? I don't want to discourage you. But I don't see any real path to a marketable product here, particularly not as a standalone product.

This is a really good question, that's why I am collecting feedback on the idea :)

I've been thinking about building data catalog product, but it seems there are so many of them out where. So I thought I shoud somehow make if diffirent (and better), that's why I came up with SQL-To-Text idea.

Probably, you are right, I also don't see it as a standalone product. Perhaps, it can be a feature in data catalog / lineage product.

Dracula is a fine theme, however, I feel like it's more convenient than it is pretty. I admire Dracula, Nord, and Gruvbox and how committed they are to their own aesthetics - my personal favorite, similar to Gruvbox, is Alduin[0] but sadly it's for Vim only.

I only wish popular themes didn't feel like they had to use every primary color for the text. I wish we took the popular themes and made them even more opinionated, fewer colors with greater emphasis. At the end of the day most themes nowadays are just different shades of all rainbow text over your choice of a light or dark background. Dark or light... It reminds me of that theory about how early humans, before having words for different colors, only had light and dark to describe things.

Does anyone have any recommendations for opinionated color schemes with limited palettes with emphasis on particular colors instead of just dark/light?

[EDIT] - "profits" -> revenue. Wrote the same comment twice and only made the mistake here. Amazon consistently makes over 90B in revenues quarterly.

Fining more than revenue in Italy is one thing and may look bad on paper if you take an italy-centric view but 1B is ~1% of Amazon's quarterly revenue. Amazon is a massive company and Italy could be a loss-leader for years maybe even decades and not make a dent. All the while Italian businesses suffer and wealth compounds somewhere else.

There's also no absolute way to measure the market share/billions (and in which related markets) they've captured by the abuse they've perpetrated. Generally governments fine too little and too late, not too much and too early.
