Well, no, they are dictating what taxes you owe based on intent, and using consistent patterns of behavior as evidence of ongoing intent.

I signed up for Google Play Music for the same reason, artist payout, long ago.

It looks like Youtube Music is still the highest among the major brands.

In fact, this action could set a precedent that allows RIAA/MPAA/etc to sue GitHub because it demonstrates they curate and editorialize everyone's code, effectively.
Do you notice the difference between lossless and 320kbits/s ogg vorbis ?
It's not obvious what the warning would be, unless you want a warning attached to every single arithmetic operation? The compiler can't know what `size` will be in this case.
Seems like Kooistra asked in the obvious polite way -- sit down (i.e. render oneself less mobile) at a non-threatening range and let them choose to approach or not. Is that not consent?
Monads are pretty trivial to understand if you learn some Haskell first, and kind of pointless if you don't. The actual definition of a monad in the Haskell standard library is a dozen lines or so of simple code.
I like to think I'm friends with my cat but in my heart I know I'm a combination of a roommate and staff.
Interesting. I've got Linux, Windows, and iOS here. The main annoyance of Amazon is that they don't appear to have a native client for Linux. At least not in my repo. I don't really mind the web interface, the higher bitrates are limited to the native client for some silly reason.

As it is... I just end up plugging my phone into my dac/amp as a (pretty stupid, IMO) workaround.
I don't work at Amazon, but our company's social media policy requires us to be transparent about a possible conflict of interest when speaking about things "close to" our company/our position in the industry and also need to be clear about whether we're speaking in an official capacity or in a personal capacity.

This is designed to reduce the chances of eager employees going out and astro-turfing or otherwise acting in trust-damaging ways while thinking they're "helping".

Sit down, John.
My two sisters and I all have diagnosed Polycythemia Vera with the JAK2 mutation present. Neither parent have the mutation or the disease. From what I understand PV is not supposed to be hereditary and clusters like ours are very rare. In retrospect the earliest signs (at the time slightly elevated platelets) were present for me when I had a very bad bout of Epstein-Barr in my early 20s and was getting regular blood counts done for months, although the first diagnosis wasn't picked up until my eldest sister was in her early 40s and the disease was non-trivially advanced.
Yes, Good luck using those dumps anywhere else but in Google. This isn't all that easy to deal with for some, migrating years of email, and so on is a lot of work. Besides the loss of App purchases and other financial impact.

Fortunately for once I was prepared for something like this and besides a couple of documents I'll be able to shut it down easily.
It started out really simple, and good. Then as google added other features, new products, acquired companies, it's gotten harder and harder.
In this particular case, Google is considered the "data processor" (as opposed to GP's blog, which is the "data controller"). Google is certainly subject to the GDPR as a data processor in this case. That being said, the EDBP is clear in their guidelines that using a data processor established in the EU does not itself make the controller subject to the GDPR.
They are encouraging people to sell.

Most people wouldn’t care, but if you’re in a high tax bracket and you can sell one to buy another and keep your risk profile roughly the same, you’ll do it.

People prefer to pay long term gains and take short term losses. The benefits work in your favor and against the govt. The tax code reflects that, and has for a long time.
All roads may end up leading to Canada.
They just got out of their busiest time of year, and taking the time to write an accurate post mortem with data gleamed afterwards seems sensible to me.
I hear you. Look, this is a guessing game. We're trying to figure out what's in the mind of Kyrie.

I will say I think the statement "that goes against his beliefs" is a weird thing to say (not you, him) when we're talking about whether the earth is round. It's not a religion it's science. Science that was settled more than a thousand years ago.

I think Kyrie puts this in terms of "beliefs" so he can push back on people that challenge him. "What, you're attacking my beliefs now??"

We have spent waaaaay too long talk about that fool. Peace.
I keep trying to switch away from Ubuntu Mono, but I always end up switching back after a few days. I just played "the font game" and Source Code Pro won for me, today (But my top contenders were pretty much what I expected: Fira, Ubuntu, Source Code Pro). So, maybe I'll give SCP another few days and see what happens.

No. Imagine if all traffic lights were 3D-printed, and that entire infrastructure depended, as an active dependency each time a new traffic light is printed, on some random guy's 3D model that he decided to post on his personal blog years ago. Guy decides to take down the model, now all of a sudden his hosting provider takes control of his site and forces him to put the model back. That is the lens through which you should view this situation.

The people building infrastructure that depends on one guy's 3D model existing on his blog at all times were the ones who made a mistake. If one of your thousands of dependencies breaks, shame on you, make a fork. The dependency owner owes you nothing, and he can change his creation or remove it any time he likes. If you weren't fortunate enough to fork it while it was still up, then too bad.

Instead we as a corporate community are encouraging coddling and ensuring that if you make this mistake, GitHub, NPM, et al will take care of it for you. The downstream effects of this are much worse than the temporary damage of making people actually figure out their dependency chains.
So I wonder what if any legal difference there would be if TPG was only providing a web app that runs in the browser.
> Is that really better than an enum?

Substantially. Look at the generated code for an enum.

Also, this approach does not suffer the problems described by the article.
>> you need to load balance across multiple independent availability zones

The only problem with that is, there are no independent availability zones.

What we do have, though, is an architecture where errors propagate cross-zone until they can't propagate any further, because services can't take any more requests, because they froze, because they weren't designed for a split brain scenario, and then, half the internet goes down.
Why is it dignified?
It informed some questions I'd ask in interviews, informed some push back I'd give following crunches, and made contemplating subsequent departures seem less unsurmountable.

Haha! Given that the article is about scraping, I figured some prudence with respect to people copying and pasting my work somewhere else was warranted!
The biggest problem with the GPM -> YTM transition was that my kids were suddenly locked out of music (as Google didn't allow kids accounts to have YT and YTM fell under that). This was a serious problem and I don't understand why they let it happen.

Thankfully, I got an email not 5 minutes ago saying that kids can use YTM again. Remarkably good timing on that one.
Agreed. Fira Code is still the most aesthetically pleasing font that has all the modern features. Can't stand how robotic JetBrains Mono looks.
Sounds like they need to switch to Kubernetes?

I kid of course. One of the best post-mortems I've seen. I'm sure there are K8s horror stories out there of etcd giving up the ghost in a similar fashion.
I believe there was also a problem where some bad coding had every Manjaro box in the world spamming the shit out of the arch repos to the point they were crashing. I'm not sure if the fix was amicable agreement or just an upstream block.
Spotify owns 50% of Tencent Music (pretty much Chinese Spotify). Tencent owns 20% of Universal Music Group, and a few percent of Warner Music as well.

They're all connected; you have that illusion of choice, and no matter what you pick, everyone wins (yay)!

It's funny how regionalism pops up on the internet. Thing is, it's less than 10% of the country (and surely not all of those 29MM are on the internet), and there are other businesses surviving just fine foregoing a TAM of the whole country.

Just fyi, Ahrefs and probably some others in that list were using OCaml way before Reason came along. Ahrefs' web crawler (the second biggest after Google) is actually written in OCaml (native).
If you have spent years writing your own config, you appreciate all the things doom brings to the table. I know I'd never end up writing such a good system from the ground up.
Since all crypto on smart contract platforms tumbles around in defi and the various decentralized exchanges all the time, this would effectively prevent anyone from depositing their crypto to those exchanges, which would make the exchange unusable.

To expand on that, say someone withdraws ETH from Tornado cash and purchases an NFT with it. The seller of the NFT then swaps their ETH for USDC on a decentralized exchange (the ETH then goes into a pool). Later, a liquidity provider to the ETH/USDC pool withdraws liquidity from that pool, and sends their ETH to an exchange, let's say Binance. If Binance blocked such deposits (and especially if they did so without refunding the user on-chain), no one would use Binance, and they'd also be the target of a lot of lawsuits.
> It's also a lot more expensive. Probably order of magnitude more expensive than the cost of a 1 day outage

Not sure I agree. Yes, network costs are higher, but your overall costs may not be depending on how you architect. Independent services across AZs? Sure. You'll have multiples of your current costs. Deploying your clusters spanning AZs? Not that much - you'll pay for AZ traffic though.
Symbol is an extremely heavy hammer. It's also difficult to use correctly.

What value do you think it offers here?
> sometimes it makes more sense to fund other civil services instead

Such as? The US invests an absurd amount of money into education and a sizable amount on welfare. Both of which also seemingly suffer from efficiency issues.

Reform is really the only option when money stops being efficient. Over time, systems accumulate crusts of leeches who live off the system offering little in return, stealing resources from others who are more honest, by merely knowing what the weaknesses of the system are. It's at that point where reviewing and heavily reforming your rules until these people are screaming bloody murder becomes the only fix.

It will probably be post 3.0, since the underlying HTTP interface we use (https://pypi.org/project/requests) does not support HTTP/2. We are currently discussing how to migrate from that to something like httpx, without causing any change of user-visible behavior.

Disclaimer: I work at Automattic.

Your comment does remind me of what we strive to do with communication at Automattic. Since a team can be split all over the world, synchronous communication is never a given. Though email is rarely used, we do use P2. Basically, each team has a blog. You write posts to provide significant context and shape discussion around a certain project or problem. Others comment on those posts in long-form text as needed. This is all searchable by any member of the company, unlike email! And then we also have a knowledge base for documentation. (Basically just a WordPress site where you write pages about different topics.)

So if you need to find context and past conversations about X, you can easily search for that.

We do skip step B, and “synchronous” communication happens in Slack. Even then, it’s still async. I’ll message a teammate today and have no expectation they would respond until their timezone comes around again. If needed, it would be a video call. Plus, Slack messages are also aggregated into the internal search tool.

I think there isn’t much need for a “busy signal” when there’s no cultural expectation for anyone to be immediately available for conversations.

This situation is far superior than other remote setups I’ve seen, but does it make you calmer?

Maybe! I find that the stuff that affects calmness is emotional or psychological. I can’t just log off and be disconnected — my brain still spends cycles thinking about problems. That can’t be solved with better communication systems. It’s just hard to stop thinking about work, since it consumes so much of your day!
The real question here is will it allow you to sideload without an Apple ID?

Right now, to get any app onto an iPhone, you have to use an Apple ID, which requires providing a phone number (verified with sms), an email (verified with a code), and some other stuff that's not verified (name, country, street address, etc). It also sends the serial number of the device when you create the ID (and you can only create so many per device).

There's really no privacy on Apple devices unless you can a) buy a device without providing PII, and b) load apps onto the device without providing PII (including VPN/DNS apps, so that you can block all the phone-home crap it constantly does to Apple).

I'm in the process of a painful switch to Graphene and the no-good, very-bad Android ecosystem as a result. I don't like the approach to solving the problem, here, but if Apple devices become usable again without compromising privacy it would be nice to be able to continue to use them.

Sideloading is sort of enabled already, in that you can use any Apple ID to get signatures for self-built apps (or downloaded apps) to load on to your own device (registered to that Apple ID). If they comply with such legislation by allowing sideloading for ID-identified customers only, it's little comfort for those that care about privacy or freedom/choice. (It also means they can turn off sideloading on a per-person or per-country basis from Central Command during wartime, or if you become persona non grata for some reason.)
Shocking, I know...
> Enums IMO have no advantage over union types with string literals, e.g. `type Status = 'fulfilled' | 'pending' | 'failed'`.

Well I would say having to not repeat and update your code everywhere when you change or add a possible value is a pretty big advantage.
Thanks - I didn't know this existed (I now realize that I didn't even bother to check if the "hnreplies" name has been used already..)
The problem is that you cannot expect an organization to effectively police itself. That's just a simple fact of life. Organizations will protect their own and refuse to admit wrongdoing until they are forced to by outside means. This is human nature. Prosecutors can't prosecute cops because they are part of the same system. The only way you hold the justice system accountable for miscarriage of justice is to have a completely separate body act as the check.

Might as well extend that to the other branches as well. Create a 4th branch of government who's only purpose and power is to jail members of the other branches who break the law since they can't be expected to police themselves and power corrupts all.

Kind of like how members of the military are subject to UCMJ courts. Civilian members of government should be subject to a court as well.
> But those seem irrelevant if usage and revenue go to zero when you can’t keep a service up

You're assuming the average profits lost are more than the average cost of doing things differently, which, according to their statement, is not the case.
This WaPo article has some good background, it puts the number of local police and sheriff depts at over 15,000, with 90% having less than 50 officers.

> I'm surprised more businesses don't ban all of Texas as customers to prevent any litigation happening there.

Businesses are often the ones structuring agreements so that they can sue customers there and so that customers are forced to sue them there, so...that would seem counterproductive.

Even before considering the size of the market you’d be cutting off.
Yep, it's all about sustainability and backward-compatibility. There's no Rails yet, but the Sinatra-like Dream framework is very good and getting a lot of attention nowadays.
How else do you expect LEO to get paid? They want some of that sweet tax avoidance revenue too!

Jokes aside, taxes are an awesome social construct that should fund many essential things that citizens need such as a stable infrastructure, utilities, healthcare, public education, etc. The problem is that you can't really choose how you want your taxes to be spent, since the popular thing is to elect someone else to (mis)manage the taxes for you.

Government mismanagement and corruption is pervasive at all levels - city, state and federal. I live in a high COL area with high taxes, yet the roads, schools, and other publicly funded things are trash. It's crystal clear that the money I pay in taxes is not being spent appropriately, so it's no wonder people try to avoid paying taxes altogether.

We need an elective tax system that lets you choose where you want the tax money to be funneled. For a simple and naïve example, say you have a flat 20% federal tax, that lets you pick which public institutions you want the funds to be delivered to. Maybe 5% to NASA, 5% to veterans, and the remaining 10% could be left up to the government to decide. This would be an example of "voting with your wallet," but it's just a fantasy. The government will never give that kind of power to us.

So to this I say, just keep paying your taxes like the model citizen that you are, and don't question it! I hope you have fun paying the government forever on any private property or income that you have, since you have no choice. It's not your fault that you don't have a choice either, since it was robbed from you. You were born into circumstance. Almost all land on earth has been claimed by governments or private entities, so you have no where left to turn. Just by virtue of being alive, you owe the government overlords for all of your creature comforts: the water you drink, the land you live on, the food you eat, the hole you shit in, and so much more. They will steal your labor in exchange for pieces of paper that will ultimately find their way right back to them.
I find it ironic but unsurprising that something called the Anti-Road Rage Act legislates against lane hoggers. Whilst I find lane hoggers annoying I think the responsibility for road rage is with the raging party, so I'd prefer an act that focused on those committing the road rage, not triggering it. What they've done here is victim blaming and naming a bill based on PR, not policy (also no surprise).
How expensive? Remember that the Roblox Corporation does about a billion dollars in revenue per year and takes about 50% of all revenue developers generate on their platform.

But you'd probably want to set up the new provider as your first step and upgrade from the legacy free edition as your last step.
I also like to point the MX records to the new provider before doing the backup so there will be no incoming messages while the backup is in progress.

Multi-AZ is free at Amazon. Having things split amongst 3 AZ's cost no more than having in a single AZ.

Multi-Region is a different story.
Cloudflare email routing is a good free option https://developers.cloudflare.com/email-routing/
That's true but largely irrelevant to this story - traffic laws are the same through the state.

The main thing in this is law enforcement discretion. There's no way the population would vote these malicious leaders in if the tickets were being given to residents. They are mostly hitting non-residents. This is very common near military bases. The law is the same, but they choose not to apply it to residents (and apparently make up violations too).

Hopefully people have dashcams, and record interactions on their phones. It sounds like they will end up losing much more in lawsuits than they are bringing in. Perhaps the FBI and DOJ will get involved due to rights and color of law violations.
Ehhhhh there's just the 2 of us, so with none of the other benefits, which to me are worth $5, it's not an interesting deal. Plus neither of us spend any time on YouTube so that whole "Premium" ad-free thing is just meaningless access to absolute junk content.
I would have expected a trend to smaller robots for military applications - after all, a relatively slow, relatively large machine is first and foremost a big and expensive target to hit.

I always felt it's slightly sad that we're stuck with only being able to type the ASCII symbols !"#$%&'()*+,.-./\:;<=>?@~|{} efficiently.

So languages that want to express more with different symbols find it difficult to do so with our limited set. You end up with combinations of symbols that look familiar to existing combination of symbols, and for those who find this problematic to read we have ligatures.
