> How does your (dubious) claim that most jews live in such fear

There are many research groups that confirmed the feeling of fear by Jews in Europe and more recently in the U.S as well, there is nothing dubious about what I said. It's become very common for Jews to not leave the house with any Jewish identity (skullcaps for instance) in Germany, France, Netherlands and now in the U.S as well. This is also confirmed by a substantial increase in antisemitic incidents throughout the Western world. In fact only a few days ago there was one in Texas that luckily didn't end in deaths.

Honestly it feels ridiculous to keep adding links here, this is so well researched and written about I think it's beyond debate. Now does what I say here apply to all Jews equally? Obviously if you are non religious and wear no identifying clothes, and never mention your judaism, you will be exposed to less anti semitism (if any). But that's not saying there is no problem is it?
Some of the replies say this is a layer violation: HTTP doesn't care about JSON so curl shouldn't either. But you have to add Content-type and Accept headers when working in JSON, which I personally often forget, so I think this does make sense.

Yes. That is the joke (among non-civil engineers with civil engineer friends).

No. Because that is not what I wrote.

> Wouldn't it be a lot simpler to just allow more immigration?

Both in the EU and US, various immigrants (both legal and illegal), have been coming into the continents since the 1960s.

But even with all the immigration, currently there are still near one child fertility rates.

The native inhabitants, both the native born and born from immigrant families, still need to make up the short fall of having their own children.

Epic Games Inc. urged a federal appeals court to aside a September ruling that mostly rejected the gaming company’s antitrust challenge to Apple Inc. over its App Store.

Thursday’s filing escalates a battle that began in 2020 after the iPhone-maker removed the Fortnite game from the App Store because Epic created a workaround to paying a 30% fee on customers’ in-app purchases.

After a trial, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers mostly sided with Apple, rejecting Epic’s claims that the iPhone maker is a monopoly. Still, she found that Apple has engaged in some anticompetitive conduct and ordered the Cupertino, California-based technology giant to allow app and game developers to steer consumers to outside payment methods on the web. All developers for the first time could be able to include a button and web links in their apps to let users pay for transactions online, circumventing Apple’s fees.

This case is part of Epic’s global campaign against the world’s most valuable company. Epic, which took in more than $5 billion from Fortnite in 2020, also has filed complaints against Apple in the European Union, U.K. and Australia, and the game maker is suing Google over its Google Play store.

The lower-court case is Epic Games Inc. v. Apple Inc., 20-cv-05640, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California (San Francisco).

There is a vast bureaucracy of benefits available to Americans that most Americans don't know about because the creation of the programs rarely includes advertising in the budget.

It's intentional. In addition to the lack of advertising, making people fill out needless/confusing forms, etc. also filters out people who are legitimately entitled to government benefits. It's a special type of cruelty to dangle a benefit behind so much red tape in front of people who don't have the time or know-how to deal with it!

The US COVID test program, seems good at first blush. On the one hand, it was a breath of fresh air that all you have to do is go to one website and fill out one very short form. On the other, the parameters of the program were 4 tests per address. USPS already knows every address, so why did I even have to bother filling out the form? Why aren't they just sending out the tests?! There are going to be people who want/need the tests but won't get them because of the bureaucracy.
I'm surprised the US government design system even recommends custom fonts. Surely the native stack would be sufficient?
Good news, you can keep doing it that way.
> Too many patents are written in vague legalese that no "person having ordinary skill in the art" would understand.

It’s generous to say that it’s just a problem for someone with “ordinary skill in the art”. I fully expect that patents written in confusing legalese are more likely to get granted, because this makes it hard for examiners, too.

I think that if a patent isn’t understandable to an ordinary practitioner, it should be deemed invalid. Reading through software patents, 90% of the effort is understanding what the hell it says. (The other 10% is trying not to scream about the fact this obvious garbage was granted.)
I'm not the one poking fun, my comment was straightforward.

I'm French, we invented this legal device, I know how it works and why it exists (and I think it's got every right to).
They're relevant because they're technologies relating to memory safety and provide some level of additional protection. However, they rely on secrets and are in general only probabilistic, so they don't deterministically mitigate all memory safety issues (you can deterministically mitigate some with clever allocations of memory "colours", but not all). CHERI and MTE-like schemes also both rely on the use of tagged memory, but in rather different ways.
I haven't read this literature in awhile but there was a time when I was looking into it and it seemed that there was empirical evidence that if you really want to promote innovation via governmental means the way to do it is through competitions, basically like grant applications or xprize-type things.

The benefits from a patent-type system have to be compared to the alternative, which is where people innovate solely to stay ahead of market competitors and protect trade secrets. In that scenario, one might argue that there's a natural measure of innovation, the ease and speed with which a competitor can copy something or implement a competing product.

I'm not inherently opposed to patents but I do think their implementation today is extremely dysfunctional.
Why is this purely up to the lender? And if it is, of course they'll add something. You can't have individuals borrowing money interest free now, can we? (Institutions...that's more than fine, its expected.)

Then what's stopping you from simply listening to random tracks from new releases sections?

I've done this before- with Spotify, I've even picked albums based on their cover art, the name of the record, the name of the artist. Occasionally the aesthetic vibes align and I find a new artist that is actually enjoyable. Usually not. But if you're just trying to find new music, there's ample methods to do so.
Of course they aren't. But that doesn't mean they're the wrong thing to do.

If I were running a social media site, I wouldn't want to be used to spread outright lies. I'd already be controlling for spam, threats, and other abuse of my platform.

I can't control anybody else's platform, and keeping misinformation off of my platform alone is like holding back the ocean with a broom. Nonetheless, I would want my platform to be something I could be proud of, rather than cringe about.

Misinformation is a tiny piece of the overall problem of deliberate malfeasance. People have created disrespect for science, and lost the thread of a nation as a place where we work for a decent way to live together rather than an ongoing fight of good against evil.

That's a fight that's far bigger than me. It's even bigger than Facebook. I honestly expect it to get much worse. But if I'm going to be involved in it, I'm going to treat misinformation the same way I treat spam.
The solution to a bad or poorly written law is not to leave it on the books and have some "oh well we actually meant" thing that means it can be arbitrarily applied in a different way than written.

Courts can interpret laws if the interpretation is the problem. If there is just a stupid loophole, then either the law itself makes no sense (as seems to apply to this Jones Act) or it needs to be reworded to align with its intent.

This reminds me of all the california electricity deregulation games where Enron et al moved power out of state and back, or had plants go down strategically for maintenance in order to gain the system. The correct solution is not to say "play nice, you know what we meant". It's to have a consistent and enforceable set of rules that dont admit gaming.

It's a liberty you exploited because clearly the intent of that word refers to a physical heart. Nobody dismisses it as a bad drug, alcohol is too ingrained in human culture to ever be dismissed.

What's going on in this thread is scientific reconciliation and justification of ones own behavior. Lots of people live their lives off of scientific facts and conclusions to improve their own health and productivity. This new conclusion from the WHF flies in the face of an old conclusion and habitual drinkers of alcohol. Thus people need to twist and reconstruct the logic in such a way that their own behavior is justified.

Thanks for the feedback. Double-storey ‘a’ does make things busy. I’ll see what I can do with optional single storey ‘a’ as a stylistic set. The problem with stylistic sets is no one uses them and they’re not well supported in programming tools. I’ve got automated font file generation script in Glyphs app that generates all variants as separate fonts, so users can download whatever they want. I’ll try to create a single storey ‘a’ as an option, definitely for italics which are still under development.

Does this track actually track with places where the government has largely ignored, such as lgbtqia and immigrant communities? Would anyone reasonably describe undocumented immigrants as having a community that is more robust, bonding together, and having less folks slip through the cracks than a well-funded government with a strong safety net could provide? How is the lgbtqia community going to fund trans people's surgeries and medications, and are they doing it better than what a well-funded healthcare system with minimal bigotry towards trans medical needs would do?

In turn, does this mean we can extrapolate and figure out whether or not more social safety net containing countries, like say the nordic countries, do they have a lesser sense of community than somalia?
But we also provide legal protection for trade secrets!

Yup, in that sense banks are decentralized in a way..although there is a bank called the "central bank" that creates the base monetary supply, so not sure I totally agree with the comparison..

But yes, I would agree that banks are about as decentralized as crypto exchanges. But that's kind of the point, you shouldn't conflate exchanges (or banks) with the currency itself.

Ford lost in 2019.

That’s a rubbish comparison.

Of course no amount of driving is safe—that’s commonsensical. You always have a chance of getting harmed when you decide to drive a car. But driving a car has a clear utility which is non-optional in a lot of cases. The utility of recreational alcohol use is, on the other hand, more akin to joyriding—so similar to a completely optional subset of car driving.
This is great. When a new user uses Darklang, we want them to be able to make JSON API requests quickly and easily, and there aren't great client-side tools for that that you can expect users to have installed. giving them a big long curl command is no fun, but `curl --json 'the-body' would be amazing`
If the developers are happy about the code and testing quality of a project, then you waited too long to ship.

If the customers don't have any feedback or missed feature asks at launch, you waited too long to ship.

You know who has great internal code and test quality? Google. Which is why Google doesn't ship. They're a wealth distribution charity for talented engineers. And their competitive advantage is that they lure talented people away from other companies where they might actually ship something and compete with Google, to instead park them, distract them with toys, beer kegs, readability reviews, and monorepo upgrades.
True, but they will be paying for it any way you slice it. A thing happened, it had a cost, and the cost was paid by shifting money around using government power, fundamentally that power is derived from taxation. There's a ballot issue locally to increase electrical rates by 3.65% to cover the bond payback, if it's rejected the utility (which is government owned) /still/ has to pay the bonds back, it just does so by cutting budget elsewhere or shifting money and increasing taxes elsewhere. Any way you slice it, the cost must be paid.

What's your alternative proposal? A hindsight 20/20 review would have obviously said to not have such a crisis happen in the first place through proper preparation. That didn't happen, and here we are. How do you pay for it?

A key piece is that due to load-shedding, the actual cost to most Texans is significantly lower than had they "kept the lights on" at $9k. Instead, we all lost power and the price was paid only to maintain the necessary generation to recover the grid without a black start that would have been a much larger disaster. Electrical power is common infrastructure, and the cost to sustain it is a common cost, raising that in such a way seems the most reasonable path forward. I'm not happy about my rates going up or my taxes increasing, but I also understanding reality. The net effect on me as a rate payer is still far far far less than had I agreed to pay live wholesale like the tiny fraction of people on Griddy.
I've wondered why people favor a pluralized gerund over the perfectly good alternative "lessons". Probably people who use this word are just mimicking a speech affect, or signalling a verbal register (dynamic manager-of-action)?

"Learnings" will probably become as unremarkable as using "impact" to mean influence or effect.

All these cheats will never be accepted for working individuals. Corporations get a different flavor of justice. Even then they push it to the limits and dinner times find a burocrat in the pertinent agency willing to push forward a rightful punishment.
I have to admit, that looks pretty slick.

Have you used it? I'd be curious to hear how well it works in practice.

It seems like the only "big" things Scala has over this is its implicits (which so many people hate, but have been really improved in version 3) and its for-comprehension syntax.

It's so interesting to see a bunch of projects converge on really similar things. You look at Scala, at this Vavr stuff, and at Kotlin + Arrow.kt, and they're implementing all of the same stuff over Java.
Now that I look at the screenshots with "they're mock-ups" in mind, I notice quite a few typos, etc... some careful proofreading would make for a more professional look.

E.g. the fake Amazon page has "approvalfor" (missing a space), "orders over %35" (surely that's "$35"), "Flavor: Marshmellow" (should be "a", not "e"), and "Abbout the item".
These are all generic, idealistic arguments which ignore the fact that things don't work this way in the real world, at least not how they did a couple hundred years ago.

Patenting something today doesn't require innovation, but money and a large team of lawyers. Patents don't encourage innovation but hamper it. Try and start a company today, and a large chunk of your capital will need to be kept aside for legal defense and paying off patent trolls and larger competitors who will bury you in lawsuits for vague, meaningless infringements.
