"Tell me more"

This works anywhere - just keep drilling down into their ideas, politely asking them to tell you more detail. If they have a good idea, they'll explain it and you learn something. If not, they crash and burn and everyone sees it for what it is. Either way, you were supportive and gave them a chance to prove out their thoughts.
Just to ensure we are talking about the same things I am using these as definitions:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_type_system

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing

These are non=competing qualities. In duck typing there is no actual code interpretation, as in run time evaluation. Instead instances are compared against a type definition looking for conformance and presumed good so long as the compiler does not see a misalignment to the type definition. This is generally good enough when both the type definitions and the code instances are static qualities in the code, but exceptions can occur if there are dynamic mutations the compiler does not recognize such as extending extending a base type with a dynamic quality.

Structural typing uses structures to define relationships and those relationships become points of evaluation to determine subsets. Relational evaluation is most useful in tree models such as DOM (HTML, XML), file system, certain database models like DB2, some machine learning models. The useful qualities of relationship evaluation are that you can evaluate correctness via a path, as in navigation from one node to another, and determine if a code instance is properly composed.

There is some overlap between those two type definitions in TypeScript in that an object interface can be defined from various smaller interfaces. This is mostly done for code reuse, but benefits composition.
Chevron's a problem, but this man operated the environmental case as a shakedown operation, bribed Ecuadorean judges, tampered with witnesses, and ghostwrote expert testimony. This is why the fine demanded in Ecuador has been deemed unenforceable in the US, Canada, Netherlands, Brazil, and Argentina.

The best time to do something about Chevron was when Donziger was as far away from the case as possible, and the best thing Donziger could do for any environmental cause today would be to stay far, far away from the case, as far as reasonably as possible. He won't.

And Chevron's retaliation against him is a disaster area, rife with injustice, too, so you can hate just about everyone involved with this case.
As others have said, penalties are not related to how much you charge for the product itself. For example, when you start illegally distributing music your penalty won't be retail cost * number of copies. There's multipliers & things that get applied. Basically your judge/jury will figure out the damages amount after you're found guilty (assuming you don't settle).

This also makes sense when you factor in that retaining lawyer services to prosecute the infringement costs time and money (not to mention the court's time & resources to handle the case).
I think the parent is alluding to the fact that this topic keeps being presented to us as news.
https://lwn.net/Articles/61292/ provides a great explanation

> There is no provision in the Copyright Act to require distribution of infringing work on altered terms. What copyright plaintiffs are entitled to, under the Act, are damages, injunctions to prevent infringing distribution, and--where appropriate--attorneys' fees. A defendant found to have wrongfully included GPL'd code in its own proprietary work can be mulcted in damages for the distribution that has already occurred, and prevented from distributing its product further. That's a sufficient disincentive to make wrongful use of GPL'd program code. And it is all that the Copyright Act permits.
Second this - it is way too hard for me to see a full FOV and high-res look at the actual product!

In September, IG deleted my account. No email, no warning. I lost an unbelievable amount of memories.

To open a support ticket about it, I had to send in a photo of me holding up a sign with a captcha on it. Despite following up on the ticket 8 times, I still haven't even gotten a response back. Just miserable.

Finally made a new account in October. That new account has been "temporarily blocked" 5 times so far. I've had to provide my phone number, a 360º video of my face, and more. I really don't know why Meta hates me.

Princeton-Radboud Study on Privacy Law Implementation
It definitely does.

There have been many scandals with pharma and regulators. Opioid crisis is one example, even though all involved parties currently blame each other and it has not been established who shares the most guilt yet. In either case, we definitely needed alarming articles about risks from newly marketed opioids 10 years ago.

The other worry is the recent approval of aducanumab by the FDA.
This concept is important to the way I think about crypto. It feels like a war between two elites (TradFi vs Crypto insiders and VCs), if crypto wins it it will not "democratize finance" when 90% of all Bitcoins have been mined in the first decade of the project's lifespan.

(This is not an attack against crypto in general, there are ways to design a cryptocurrency so it's equal to all participants regardless of the time they buy in, it's just that they fail to gain adoption because of a lack of VC funding and support from the crypto community, as neither can make a quick buck out of it)

Correct me If I am wrong, but it seems China's government controls their companies and makes them act against their best economic interest. This results into a much bigger global impact of China communist party because of those decisions.
This is to compare to West companies which act a lot more independently.

Yeah, it is decoupled from Tokio. Tokio emits instrumentation via the `tracing` crate. Tokio Console just listens to the tracing events. Any runtime that emits the same events can be used with Tokio Console. This is the tracking issue: https://github.com/tokio-rs/console/issues/130
I find it frustrating that so much discussion about other countries is based on hearsay and offhand translation, especially in the case of China where it seems few Western commenters even understand the language, much less the culture.

Sure, if you are comparing populations as a whole, but if you are comparing the subsets of educated people from each country that are participating in the global discourse I strongly disagree. There's no point in comparing the average Russian or African or Chinese person. Are we ever interacting with them? Do they drive any policy?

There is so much science fiction writing from the golden age and beyond, up to the 60s and 70s, which prominently features Martians and Martian cities. Mars having alien life was a massive source of speculation among the public at that time. While the stories are still great, reading them today I can't help but go "nah we've been to Mars, there's nothing there".

Makes me think about how soon sci-fi written today will get similarly outdated.

Thanks. I see the example in the docs shows this method. StackOverflow shows many people sharing the same. I’ve never had this problem so I’m probably quite lucky. But it makes complete sense. I’m surprised it’s not called out on the docs page for setState.

That seems to be such an amazing benign statement that it's not really saying anything at all.
There was a London West End musical life of Leonardo Da Vinci which the critics hated, partly because it featured a fictional female love interest when Leonardo is generally believed to have been gay. It was financed by the island nation of Nauru using proceeds from its guano fertilizer business, prompting every critic to say they had found a way to turn crap into crap.

My Dad told me about another West End disaster called "Fire Angel". Every West End theatre has little signage areas out front where they put press quotes about the show. Even with a terrible show they can always quote critics saying something positive, even if it's only about one song or one actor.
However, no review said anything good about the show, so the signs all had snippets like "Fire Angel is a musical" - The Times.
Thanks for sharing, this looks like it's exactly what I've been looking for!
> Meta is alleged only to have superimposed a fact-check label on the Fire Video, describing Climate Feedback’s conclusion that the video was “missing context.” Stossel does not claim that label is actionably false—presumably because it is protected opinion.

> In Nim, converters are automatically ran to convert between types if needed.

Huh, this is an interesting take. Instead of taking either of the extremes of "coerce types aggressively" (Perl, PHP, C (kinda)) or "no type coercion ever" (CL (kinda), Rust?), Nim has programmable type coercion, so you can enable it just when you need it.

Researchers at Princeton University and Radboud University conducted a human subject research study on unwilling volunteers by sending them scary-looking legal compliance letters. For instance, I wrote about one I got for my tiny Mastodon instance at https://blog.freeradical.zone/post/ccpa-scam-2021-12/ .

I personally freaked out for a moment when I got the email. Others who received the letter report contacting lawyers to find out what their legal obligations were. Turns out, there's no obligation whatsoever because it was just Princeton deciding to do human research without asking permission.

Have you become attracted to authoritarianism then? I'd be very curious as to why. I'm very much pro women's and voting rights, and am under no illusion that Russia is somehow a liberal place.

If you're referring to abortion, I think the main disagreement between sensible people is the point at which a group of cells becomes a child, deserving of protection? And whose responsibility is that child? My answers are at conception, and whoever is currently in custody (the mother, before birth); simply because I don't see an alternative that isn't highly arbitrary or subjective.

In regard to voting rights, democracy is clearly better than the other things we've tried. I just don't think the people we elect should have quite so much power. Their remit should be limited to the administration of peace and order, not binding us all into one cooperative working towards a common goal. Society is about peaceful coexistence, not collectivizing the realities of misfortune or inadequacy.

Most basically, I think anyone who is drawn to the idea of forcing people to cooperate is taking a moral stance that I simply cannot follow. In the absence of an oracle to divine good from evil, I can't come up with a justification, save one, for using force to compel cooperation. Doing so is indistinguishable from a degree of slavery.
I think this is due to cultures normalizing trauma denial, as opposed to trauma healing. In the US, most mental health options cost money. Locking away healing behind money will always make thriving harder.

We need systems that are fun, healing, and don't caretake for trust trauma.

So basically everyone's worst fears back when "fact checking" was being introduced were realized - fact checkers becoming thinly veiled political censors that only allow certain narratives through regardless of the actual nuance/truth.
> that can easily be fixed

Theoretically, yes. Practically, I think that’s a “sufficiently smart compiler” class of problems, insanely hard to solve. Especially given that WASM is a JIT compiler, it simply doesn’t have time for expensive optimizations.

Integer SIMD is weird on AMD64. Even state of the art C++ compilers fail to emit optimal code for rather simple use cases. A trivial example is computing sum of bytes: I’m yet to see a compiler which would optimize that code into _mm[256]_sad_epu8 / _mm[256]_add_epi64 instructions.
Not necessary. There's a chance that they support their government, and they didn't want to hear the usual western stuff about freedom and how bad their country is. I had many similar experiences as a student. Western students would start this discussion to Chinese students in anticipation of hearing how oppressed they feel. What they would often get is an irritated Chinese student who will tell them that it's hard to control 1.3 billion people and that their government has done a lot of them etc. And the western student's brains would hardwire unable to accept that answer and conclude "Clearly they're brainwashed" :D

I can't speak for those who downvoted you, but the implication of your post (whether intentional or not) is someone might be doing someone a favor by bullying them. (You are "glad" that it happened.) I rolled my eyes at the image of a person punching people in the face and then lecturing them on how they did them a favor.
I agree that someone from a bad background will have to work a lot harder than someone from a good one, but in the end, it's the results that matter.

Just to give a stupid example, when you call a painter to paint your house, you don't really care that the painter is in a wheelchair and cannot reach the ceilings, or if the painter is blind and cannot see the walls... you want a good result, ie. a nicely painted house.

Same with colleges... (usually, atleast in "the rest of the world") they want the best students available to enroll. In my country, a formula taking grades and standardized tests results is used, students are sorted by their score, and if there are 60 spots and 100 aplicants, top 60 by score are accepted. The colleges don't know anything about the students except the scores, and the only valid measure is the score. (...there are some exceptions, eg. acting/art schools, with entrance exams)
