this is one of the few traffic laws that i wish were enforced vigorously everywhere (turn signals being another). it'd improve the flow of traffic, and to boot, keep people focused on driving rather than their phones.

I will say, I find it interesting that newspapers never developed an equivalent to "the daily paper."

Even in the 2000s I remember newspapers not costing more than a dollar or two. I would personally prefer a one-off payment of some small amount to get the website for the day or X amount of articles instead of some god-awful subscription that has to be cancelled via some shitty call center process where they try to stop you twenty times.
I think a lot of engineers resent that someone could get more responsibility and more compensation than they do without being 'technical'! (Obviously much work in business administration is deeply technical anyway.)
Again I don't see how you're making the connection that any of these things are "due to" any others.

Crime does rise and fall over time and the reasons are notoriously complex and difficult to understand as it's happening. The police are certainly confident that anti-police sentiment leads to rising crime, but I don't have any reason to accept that evaluation right now.

Not Invented Here can run very deep in some branches of an organization. Depending on how engineering performance evaluations work, writing a homebrew database could totally be something that aligns with the company incentives. It might not make a single bit of sense from a business standpoint but hey, if the company rewards such behavior don't be surprised when engineers flush millions down the tube "innovating" a brand new wheel.
I can't help but wonder if they ever really believed what they were selling.
Their position was that they were a tech company and would follow the same revenue growth curve as google, amazon, Netflix, ect.

To meet their projections, their revenue would surpass every gym membership in the USA.

I still think 8 billion is high, but cant help wonder what buyers at a 50B+ valuation were thinking.
The issue with this sentiment, in my opinion, is that users have access to this data by logging in and they've provided the app with that access by providing their credentials. Unless a court is going to go down the road of preventing users from sharing their own information, I don't see how AA can do anything about this. If you can view this info in a web browser, you can scrape it.
Friends, yes, and family if they're on Discord as well. The IRC style of group communication genuinely works better than a ton of different group chats.
I've also been used to the free tier of GSuite...but honestly, i can not complain. I got to use my own custom domain for my family for several years...so i can't be upset really. That being said, a few months ago i started testing zoho mail...because i had planneed to move away from google anyway (for reasons that are not about cost, but more about principles)...and so far my tests are pretty good with them! Zoho's performance and cheap pricing means that i will be hopping to them very likely. At least...that is my plan...we'll see. Also, i;'ve heard that mailbox.org is pretty good and low cost; so there are optins that won't break the bank.
It's probably at least partly to discourage you from making false loss claims. Lying on a police report is a crime.
Is it a surprise? It's been almost a decade since Google stopped offering this as a free product. The writing has been on the wall for over 9 years.
For some perspective: This isn’t just about friendly apps like TPG helping consumers out. If you have an API (or even just turn a blind eye to scraping) and have a popular service, scores of ill-intentioned business people will descend on your business to suck any value they can out of it.

This ranges from all of those StackOverflow scraping websites in your Google search results to companies that want to scrape Facebook for images and personal info to build a database of everyone.

MBAs are seen as people without skin in the game. They are rewarded if things are going well, and are not punished if things go bad. The asymmetry makes these individuals look as if they are here to leech and most of their knowledge is just how to "network".

HBO was a great example of this in the pre-streaming days.

"Want to see great shows and movies with no commercials, pay the extra for cable + HBO and you won't have to seem them again.!"

This default, "it's all free BUT you have to see ads and there are no alternatives" seems to be the problem. The apps described in the article are effectively recognizing this consumer surplus/need and acting on it.

This is such a half assed answer. Data Export won't export my android purchases for example.
Yeah, so they're really just getting punished for not dotting their is and crossing their ts. They could create a subsidiary with the same board of directors as Ford that they sell the cars to, and then the subsidiary does the dirty work of repurposing the cars from passenger vehicles to cargo vehicles. They skipped paying the $100 corporate registration fee, so now they're on the hook for a billion dollar fine that would have been legal if they added another company to the mix? Give me a break.
(Disclaimer: I don't fully agree with the position but I felt it there is context collapse[0] happening that I want to push back against because I think context collapse is deeply poisonous to intelligent conversation.)

My understanding is "defund the police" is actually within the context that efforts to reform policing as an institution in america have broadly failed, so the only solution to try and make less-shitty police is to burn the institution to the ground and rebuild anew. In that context, "defund the police" makes total sense from the perspective of an activist who is agitating for a better system of community safety.

That’s terrible, I gotta think even a high level vetting would set off alarm bells with something like that.
The problem is, "reform" is an extremely vague term that can be stretched from "rebuild completely" to "issue receipts to every subject of a police stop so that PoC can prove discrimination".

"Defund"/"Abolish" are crystal clear in their meaning.

Here I think the op is saying that Google used to be cool. It used to offer a lot of value for free because search was the golden goose that paid for everything.

No, but the main other measurement you can use - distance - doesn't account for that either. What does account for it is 'step intensity' which they did control for.
I should think that the number of people who want to completely do away with the police is vanishingly small. Actually, it's probably about 3 people.

Importantly, and I do think this is worth pointing out, those people have zero political power & zero input on any budgets, legislation, etc. Situations like those described in the article are actually happening.

It seems like the right in the USA are being deliberately pedantic about the phrase "defund the police", to make it sound like those on the left are crazy.

Conservatives have been gaslighting the electorate for as long as I've been a voter. This is no different.

> People would rather trade their attention for free stuff than their money for priced goods and services.

How would you explain the fact that people paid for cable and premium cable channels (e.g. HBO) in the past when free network TV has always been an option?
I see what you mean...Even I myself have written code along the lines of "array.map.filter.this.filter". And indeed it can be more readable certain times. But I guess what I was referring to is that sometimes it seems that people are "preaching" functional programming as gospel. But I could be misinterpreting things.

> So why can't Nim infer from `let b: uint = a`

It "can", but it's a design decision not to by default because mixing `uint` and `int` is usually a bad idea.

This is telling the compiler you want to add an `int` that represents (say) 63 bits of data with a +/- sign bit to a `uint` that doesn't have a sign bit. If `a = -1` then `b = uint(a)` leaves `b == 18446744073709551615`. Is that expected? Is it a bad idea? Yes. So, the explicit casting is "getting in your way" deliberately so you don't make these mistakes. If `a` is a `uint`, it can't be set to `-1`, and adding them is freely allowed.

Incidentally `uint` shouldn't be used for other reasons too, for instance unsigned integers wrap around on overflow, whereas integers raise overflow errors. The freedom of mixing types like this are why languages like C have so many footguns.

In short, explicit is better than implicit when data semantics are different. When the semantics are the same, like with two `int` values, there's no need to do this extra step.

You could create a converter to automatically convert between these types, but you should know what you're doing; the compiler is trying to save you from surprises. For `int`/`float`, there is the lenientops module: https://nim-lang.org/docs/lenientops.html. This has to be deliberately imported so you're making a conscious choice to allow mixing these types.

> don't you get tired of typing (and reading) `uint` twice in the latter setting?

Well, no because I wouldn't be writing this code. This example is purely to show how the typing system lets you write pythonesque code with inferred typing for sensible things, and ensures you're explicit for less sensible things.

For just `int`, there's no need to coerce types:

var
a = 1
b = a + 2
intro = "My name is "
name = "Foo"
greeting = ""

b *= 10

# Error: type mismatch: can't concatenate a string with the `b` int.
# greeting = intro & name & " and I am " & b & " years old"

# The `$` operator converts the `b` int to a string.
greeting = intro & name & " and I am " & $b & " years old"

# If we wanted, we could allow this with a proc:
proc `&`(s: string, b: int): string = s & $b

# Now this works.
greeting = intro & name & " and I am " & b & " years old"

echo greeting # "My name is Foo and I am 30 years old"

# Normally, however, we'd probably be using the built in strformat.
# Incidentally, this is similar to the printf macro mentioned in the article.

import strformat
echo &"My name is {name} and I am {b} years old"

> Also given Amazon AWS support it for Aurora, I feel like it's not -that- hobby-ish.

Oh, didn't know that :)

About the rest: sure, I can agree as well about the indirect adverse effect of having them available (e.g. easy to misuse them as I saw in some apps using Oracle DBs), and it's for sure wrong to insult somebody because of this.

Still, personally, I think that the pros would outweight the cons of having that embedded in the app.

On one hand I remember some nights spent in the past trying to make some SQL work, hints were always at least a good temporary workaround.

On the other hand there will always be some SQL which confuse the optimizer (or more special cases about a lot of data changing distribution of values, etc..) and hints would be the only way to cover these cases.

Maybe an interesting question is on which level should hints act? I know mainly only Oracle & MariaDB, therefore I know hints of the type "use that index"/"query tables in this order"/"join these tables with this join type"/etc..., which are probably low-level hints. Maybe already just higher-level hints of the type "most important selectivity criteria comes from inline-view X"/"I want just the first row of the result"/"take into account only plans which select data by using indexes"/etc... would be as well interesting, not sure, just dumping here my thoughts.
Yes, though "software" is rather broad; where exactly the bounds setting happens is important as if you get it wrong it allows malicious software to not set bounds and be able to access memory outside of its allocations. Pushing it to the same place the actual allocation happens or, in the case of referencing global variables, the same place the loading and relocating happens, ensures that the only thing malicious software can do by not setting bounds is make itself insecure.
I see a lot of fake companies/websites list their address as 405 E 42nd St, New York, NY 10017 -- which is the UN's NY HQ. There's a few mailing centers with P.O. Boxes in the area that a lot of fake companies are registered to as well. They must think having Manhattan in their address lends them some credibility.
I have designed stuff like it's proposed in P1451-9 (xmpp backbone for all kinds of iot protocols) like around 2005 and even coauthored a patent how to connect sensor networks to the internet for a Japanese Telco (I also have no clue why anyone awards such patents). Having devoted more than 5 years of my life to this topic, I would say there is absolutely no need for such standards other than to keep the people involved in them busy.
They had been trying to "reform" the Minneapolis police (where George Floyd was killed) for years, but the police union had successfully blocked even the most moderate changes. There are similar stories everywhere.

"Defund the police" is a good slogan because it makes it clear that you have to pick a side - the police have made it clear that "reform" is not going to be possible through cooperation. This isn't to say that there aren't plenty of individual officers who would support, or at least not obstruct, reform, but without destroying the existing institutions (police unions, primarily) that perpetuate the status quo, and disempowering the individuals who are committed to it, nothing is going to change.
There is also automated enforcement outside the vehicles. It seems like this works to great effect in Europe although they seem to have political systems that don't result in, say, quietly changing yellow light timings to get more revenue.
You generally need more than one sound card for optimal retro gaming.

I currently have an:

- an Adlib clone

- a GUS PnP Pro with 8 MiB (in addition to onboard, does GUS Classic emu, looking for the 72-pin SIMM adapter/s to go to 16)

- a slew of SBs from 2.0, Pro, 16, 16 PnP, Vibra, AWE 32, AWE 64 Gold, Live!.. most are the OPL chip versions

- Yamaha waveblaster compatible daughterboard. I think I have a real waveblaster somewhere.

- Drive-bay mountable MT-32 emulator

- Parallel port clone sound card (I forget which chipset OTTOMH)

- USB to waveblaster adapter

- Parallel port to waveblaster adapter

I bought a Roland 505 which is essentially a superset of what the 32 can do plus it can lay down beats. Also, I'm thinking about getting a TR-08 as it's a better, modern 808 and not a meeeilion dollars.
This is a common play in several industries. Art of Shaving markets itself well to casual people interested in traditional shaving products but they take regular products, mark them up by a lot, rebrand and then upsell. Nobody claims Art of Shaving is the apex of shaving. Best Buy does similar marketing in regard to electronics, but Best Buy certainly isn't the apex of electronics retailers. What makes you think cryptocurrency companies would be any different?
IPFS isn't magic.

User david_ar had this great comment about IPFS and permanence:

> You shouldn't read "permanent" as "eternal", but as "not temporary" --- in the same sense as "permanent address" or "permanent employment". HTTP is temporary in the sense that you're relying on a single server to actively continue serving a file for it to remain available. IPFS is permanent in the sense that, so long as the file exists somewhere in the network, it will remain available to everyone.

> Edit: If you want to ensure your content remains available, you still need to host it somewhere (your own server, convincing/paying someone else to, etc). IPFS isn't so much about storage as it is about distribution.

IPFS ensures the file won't change but says nothing about availability.

certainly in western societies MBAs are also prestigious, in that they are often in charge of large companies, and they of course make lots of moneys for this prestige. But there is a critique of MBAs that says while being an MBA might be good for the individual person, and I suppose for their family, MBAs are harmful to society because they follow harmful behaviors regarding business management that in the end cause those businesses not to serve their customers well, cause those businesses to mistreat their employees, lead to businesses destroying the environment in pursuit of profits, and several other criticisms.

Which is a lot younger than the chicken tax from the 1960s

For some context: it is about washing chicken meat with chlorine dioxide to kill bacteria, especially salmonella, at the slaughterhouse. It may seem ridicoulous that europeans prefer salmonella to chlorine on their chickens, but european food health and safety argues that the practice is needed in the USA due to the very unsanitary, and therefor cheaper, chicken meat production, whereas europa requires high standards during production instead of washing the end product in chlorine, and is therefore more costly. Some argue this cost difference is the major driver of the ban, and it is not an actual health and safety issue.
The parent poster used "abolish" which is why I used it. Also, that's the phrase I've most seen in the media. I respect that you may have seen "defund" used more frequently.

"Defund" isn't exactly ambiguous either. If you defund a police department, you've abolished it because police officers aren't going to work for free and the police buildings and vehicles will deteriorate from not being maintained. It is not possible to have a police force without funding.

It's like if I said "we should fire bullets at JimBob", and then after that happened acting surprised that JimBob died. "Whoa whoa whoa I just said to fire bullets at him, not kill him!" really shouldn't be fooling anyone.

The issue isn't that particular police officers are 'good' and 'evil', the issue is that systemically, the police, the justice department, and prosecutors collude to protect gang-like behaviour in police forces.

We give them absolute power over life and death, and zero accountability. The justice system is in theory, supposed to be a leash on that dog, but in practice, it's the other way around.
