I am Canadian myself and generally follow the American style, but I believe it is very common, though not universal. Scanning The Guardian, they (!) seem to follow the American style, though this paragraph popped out at me where they use both:

> Labour [singular] takes comfort partly from the fact it expended little effort or money on the seat, allowing the Lib Dems [plural] to declare themselves in the best position to challenge the Tories.

But an American publication would probably write the same, because the name Lib Dems is itself pluralized.

"Health authorities estimate Omicron to be responsible for more than 73% of cases in London as of Tuesday, and Omicron case numbers there are estimated to be doubling every 1½ days." God. Omicron doesn't have R=anything, it has R>everything.

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.7240... discusses some interesting questions. Those are going to apply to lots of people. Sigh.
You would never spot this the edge of the logging API. In any case, it's easy to see this can't be the right mental model for security in Haskell. main is `IO Int` so at a gross level you can't say anything about an API or a program. Security in Haskell is about internal guarantees.

The developers of the library would immediately spot that their call does a lot more than it was ever supposed to locally. They would have a function that has a crazy permissive type like IO instead of something very narrow related to the specific functionality they need to do their one lookup.
Because of the way your immune system works. Vaccines aren't medicine, they work by provoking an immune response. What happens after that immune response is triggered is way more complicated than just "molecule X get response Y", there are multiple stages of responses, and the deeper, longer span ones create a resilience against mutations as well.

It is extremely common for a proper vaccination regimen to require multiple doses, and it has entirely to do with how the immune system works.
Needing anything more than a few seconds out of API gateway is just bad application design though unless we're talking about websockets or streaming as you said. If it's a webhook, you risk the client hanging up if you do all that work up front (you should instead be scheduling a background lambda that will do it based on the webhook params). If it's an actual user, I'm assuming you're not expecting to have a user wait 30+ seconds for a page to load, so probably some JSON API endpoint with a progress bar on the frontend. In those cases there's really no need to use API gateway as it isn't visible to the user anyway (you could just use your lambda naked in that case).

If you're talking about web sockets, yeah, I feel ya. I haven't had to navigate that situation yet but my plan of action is to bypass API gateway entirely and use a naked lambda running at its full execution time, and when we approach the 15 minute boundary, send a command that resets the connection. Don't know if it would work well but I haven't had a need to use web sockets for any projects I work on for a while.

For streaming, like you said, maybe an elastic beanstalk cluster is more the way to go depending on your workflow. If you can find a way to get it all to work in Lambda though, would probably be a game changer cost-wise I would expect as long as you figure out a way to deal with resetting every 15 mins.

Good points here, I got kicked out of my “Nextdoor neighborhood” in SF by pointing out how different things are “outside the building” as the article puts it.

Why not? You later seem to think that this would require reflection - but that makes it apparent you don't understand how generics work in a language. They're used at compile time - to avoid runtime checking.
No, it works fine regardless of context. You can't make an argument and then tack on "and if you disagree it's because you're insecure"; your comment would be more compelling if you didn't resort to ad hominem.
Reminds me of the xkcd "how standards proliferate"

Arguably you could use Kubernetes as a scheduler, or "ETL framework/kit", it supports cron jobs, has a restful api, local and remote secrets storage, native support for cloud storage, support for multiple logging solutions, distributed workloads, supports cron jobs etc.

Years ago I worked for a financial services company and they would run their batch ETL jobs via a product called Tidal that later got bought by Cisco. I really liked using Tidal for the longest time, but 100% of what Tidal does, you can replicate with the scheduler features of Kubernetes.

Oakland still has crime issues but it has really rejuvenated in the last 10 years. The census data reflects this (we grew by 10%) but it is also getting much better in terms of amenities, restaurants and nightlife. For the first time I can remember I see younger people (mid 20s) out and about in the evening rather than trekking over the bridge to SF. It seems to have become the epicenter of dining innovation in the East Bay (taking that title from Berkeley) and is some ways competitive with SF now in terms of new restaurants. The San Francisco Chronicle reviews a large number of Oakland restaurants now (which I suspect is mostly due to the fact that their new restaurant critic likely can't afford to live in SF and lives in Oakland). Many neighborhood corridors are finally "happening" after previous false starts (the Laurel District being the most recent example).
The whole point of generics is to avoid this - why do you think you would have to use reflection?
> the US, the UK and most western government's

Ahh, the classic whataboutism prevalent in threads about China. No excuse, especially because almost all the bad stuff that those governments did are decades in the past, whereas China is doing those things now, accelerating them, and being defended by its citizens (and people like you).

Moreover, you can't just lump together governments like that? The UK is a completely different world than the US - for instance, their freedom-of-speech laws aren't comparable to ours.

And, if we're talking just about the US (which is the topic of discussion, not the UK) - the US does not "block freedom of the press, block and censor the internet, [...] push other democracies to overwrite their history, and commit genocide..." and the other things that we have (shamefully) committed are an order of magnitude not as bad as what China is doing now. The last time the US did something remotely similar to the million+ Uyghurs in concentration camps was the Trail of Tears in 1850 (which, as terrible as it was, involved less than a 10th of the number of victims as Xinjiang now).

You're sure making a lot of fallacies and bad arguments to try to excuse the behavior of a murderous, tyrannical government...

It's worth clarifying: un-boosted vaccination or past infection seem to have greatly reduced ability to prevent infection with Omicron. There is still substantial (lessened, but not as drastically lessened) protection against serious illness / death.

My understanding is that protection-against-infection and protection-against-death rely on different aspects of the immune system. The primary protection against initial infection comes from antibodies, which are narrowly targeted. Other systems are more flexible, but don't kick in quickly enough to ward off a mild infection.

And the takeaway is still: get vaccinated, get boosted.

I just got out of the job where we were working on legacy ETL "script" in Elixir, and terrible code architecture decisions aside, I think the pattern where you have to launch and monitor long lasting jobs is a breeze in BEAM.
You just spawn one process for each job, report back via mailbox and monitor via Supervisor. Unfortunately making changes to that system where all sources were hardcoded was to say at least abysmal, but the job running core was quite elegant.

Hopefully Elixir and other BEAM compiled languages will gain enough traction, I can't imagine rewriting something that available in Erlang from the box in OOP languages with mutable objects.
GitHub feels super slow so I can't say I'm all that surprised to hear it's a rails app.
Since most "fact" checking is legally a matter of opinion it's difficult to pass laws about it without running afoul of the 1st Amendment. We already have libel laws that allow private parties to seek damages in civil court for harmful false statements.

Destruction used to be nondeterministic in Nim. Right now though, if you use the ARC/ORC instead of the default GC (ORC will be made the default GC soon) you can have RAII for reference types (RAII is available for value types by default, just write a destructor for your type).

SFML binding probably will be updated to use RAII when ORC is made the default GC.

After losing some deals that just seemed like there was no credible way we could lose, better "product", better price, better team, etc. You start asking hard questions about all the people involved and eventually someome will confidentially explain what happened. Especially people who actually need to work with the worse vendor that just got selected.

If you read through the settlement I linked ("The settlement also resolves allegations that ECW paid kickbacks to certain customers in exchange for promoting its product.") and other documentation regarding that case you can find details of several situations. I am singling out ECW there because that settlement exists. You would have to be pretty naive to think they were the only vendor engaged in that type of behavior and that the recipients of kick backs were only receiving kick backs from them alone.
My family hosted a Taiwanese exchange student when I was in high school. One day, he and I were out seeing the town. He discovered a Chinese Tea house in an out-of-the-way corner, and we stopped in.

The owner, a Chinese expat, greeted us enthusiastically and personally sat down to serve us tea. The conversation was lovely; she was explaining the source of the tea, the preparation and serving method, etc. and I was just enjoying the experience when she offhandedly asked where he was from.

When he responded, "Taiwan," she immediately frowned and made some terse comment in Mandarin, to which he retorted, also in Mandarin. There was a tense exchange, and then she abruptly turned to me and started asking me questions again in English, changing the subject.

I had not yet learned of the One-China stance, so when we left I asked him what happened. He told me that she admonished him for not saying he was from "Chinese Taipei", and apparently some other nasty remarks he decided not to translate.

It was such a shock to see that level of nationalism exhibit itself in real-time. She was genuinely offended and angry, not annoyed. I suspect if I hadn't been there, she'd have told him to leave immediately.

I am founder & CEO of Skyflow PII data privacy vault. We are vaguely similar but our product line is focused on offering "PII database as a service" - and not really relays and cages. Happy to answer any questions.

To answer your question: "market for encrypting data" is infinite but in reality that's not really a market since encryption is a concept and not really a product.

The markets that do exist are:
* GDPR & CCPA compliance (think OneTrust)
* Data Residency (think Cloudflare)
* Data Security as a Service (think Okta/Auth0)
* Customer Data Management (think CRM)
It's wonderful that so many smart people are uncovering bugs in widely used software, but it gives me a sense of dread for all the countless bugs of varying severity still undiscovered. Our digital society is like a Jenga tower. I think I need another coffee.
I don't feel that housing is a human right. In fact I don't believe it is even possible for housing to be a human right.

Human rights cannot be rights for someone else to build or do something for you, because it inherently causes a restriction or obligation to someone else. Also it's possible that reality simply says the right cannot be provided, and reality tends to beat policy. For example if there are twice as many people who need housing as available houses, no amount of claiming that housing is a right is going to overcome the underlying reality. In fact this damages the whole idea of rights because a right should not be able to be denied but in this case this right exists "while supplies last". That's a goal not a right.

My free speech doesn't exist while supplies last. It doesn't require anyone to do anything for me to exercise it. It's simply the right I'm given as a human. If someone violates it a court should give me recourse but no one is obligated to do anything on my behalf.

I understand a lot of people disagree with this line of thinking but I really think these unprovidable rights do more damage to the idea of human rights then the benefit.

This isn't a rant against people having access to affordable housing. I support that goal but it takes careful planning and a lot of hard work. Simply calling it a right and leaving the details for someone else to solve achieves nothing.
That is an accurate statement I believe. However, given it is the only available evidence we have, it is probably the most accurate prediction that we have, so let's call it our prior.
No, it's that no one assumes the MIT License is the default one that every open source project ever uses.
They do claim "Text is not the source format but just the way it is rendered on the screen" at that page, which supports the comment in TFA that they wish to abandon text files as representation for code.

That seems rather silly to me; if everyone wants to interact with it as source, and source can be an unambiguous representation of its structure, why store it in some other format?
This is exactly the type of delusional ignorance and self-congratulatory excuses that produce the dysfunction.

"Fact checking" as guard rails for protecting a narrative is (hopefully) a fad that will pass us by like bad fashion choices in the 1980's.
Thats an important distinction and you're right that my goal was not to marginalize those regions in any way.

Is fact checking that difficult?

Imagine a forum that works in the following way:

1. You post similar to here.

2. Any post that has a claim is flagged. The poster, or another commenter has 24 hours (or some time period) to link to both a page and specific text (similar to how Google highlights search text when visiting a link) that supports the claim.

3. Once a claim is attached, posters can vote and downvote how well the source(s) support the claims (claims themselves are not voted/downvoted).

4. Sites are whitelisted and blacklisted by looking at the total percentage in which claims are sited with sources that are downvoted vs. up + downvotes.

5. Posts that do not receive sources for claims are deleted.

I feel like the only reason this isn't already done is because it was dramatically decrease the amount of posts and increase friction around posting. Posters would have to be careful to assert nothing in their post.
How do the results from your tool compare to Wikidata?
I agree with this perspective and it’s part of the reason I’ve been considering moving into the city — it seems like a tech diaspora could relieve many of the pressures on SF in the coming years that would allow it to grow back in the direction of its prior reputation as a cultural center.

No, what I was trying to initially explain is that it is Netflix being defrauded. You pointed out that the company may only have equity to give, and I said that they weren't giving the equity to Netflix. They were giving it to an executive at Netflix in exchange for a contract, and it wasn't the executive's right to give that contract spot away for his own enrichment, because it's not his spot to give.

Similarly, in the case of college admissions scandals, it is the college being defrauded.

Now here, to make a parallel as you were intending, we'd have to see how the university is being defrauded.
Pfizer Trial of Low-Dose Shot Fails for 2- to 5-Year-Olds
> It basically has infinite confounding variables.

Yes, but: Law of Large Numbers. The great thing about retrospective data-collection studies is that you can potentially get hundreds of thousands of histories as datapoints. With those numbers, basically every confounder washes away, other than the selection effect of "what kind of person frequents this hospital rather than some other hospital." And you can get rid of that confounder, too, if you meta-analyze studies done in hospitals in very different areas.
Brand new facts generally go through a public disclosure process where some established institution (a news outlet, academic journal, whatever) is willing to vouch for it as true, or at least vouch for it as being worthy of consideration and discussion— and in any case, will strive to present it with the appropriate context and framing as far as level of certainty, who the players are and what their motivations are, etc etc.

I think it's reasonably fair for the policy for nobodies posting on social media to be that "new facts" (or "original research" in Wikipedia parlance), particularly those which may be harmful to public safety or marginalized groups should be either unpostable, or considerably reduced in how far they're able to spread organically (shadow-banning).

If you don't like it, go to some other social media network. For my part, I'd be content with a Facebook feed where none of the posts I'm seeing are "new" facts. OTOH, I'd also be content with a FB feed that was exclusively pics of my friends and their kids and very little news or politics at all.
Here’s a thought: the CCP is trying to provoke a response. A measured response that puts the onus of discipline on the governance system reinforces the rule of law. A knee-jerk dismissal of students is, I believe, what you are looking for, but that would be the offensive response that the CCP wants.
Sorry, but I think you've got that backwards. Without food and housing, people don't have the energy to pursue education in any meaningful way, and their healthcare will be more complicated.
It really tends to be the other way around. If you build a transit network and no one is riding on it, people freak out about their money being wasted (and they're not entirely wrong). It's entirely possible to build out transportation at a later date. Look at cities in Europe, which are historic and difficult to work with: the people are there first, and then they add the transportation.

Part of the problem (a huge part) is our land use decisions in the US, which require that people possess and store an automobile for even the most basic things in life.
