I don't think that's right for all of them. I suspect it's the company that owns the lease or loan on a plane that's being financed. For example, the current first listing is an A319-112 with the number A997E5. According to PlaneFinder that's operated by American Airlines[0]. A lot of them are very large planes, which wouldn't really make sense for a private jet. Some are smaller, though, and are probably being financed by the ultra-wealthy.

Why was this person experimenting with $500k? Even with traditional ACH I send a $1 test transaction before any significant sum. I also use the “don’t fuck with paste” browser extension to ensure there are no typeos in the routing or account number, but just the same I still want to see a transfer work before I send a significant amount. With crypto where everything is much more complicated, there are no do-overs, and no bank to step in and undo a mistake, I’m even more cautious.

I think this more a story of poor risk management.

But they are in good company. I was on the Bear Stearns trading floor when they went bankrupt and I saw a hundred people loose their entire life savings and all their kid’s college money in a few hours. Those were licensed financial experts that were fully knowledgeable and practiced in a variety of risk mitigation techniques - which they failed to apply to their personal portfolios. The company was bought by JPMorganChase and a year later everyone that came over from Bear was gone - JPMC really just wanted the client list and their midtown office tower.
It is a unary operator, from my understanding of operators, as it only operators on one subject (~2). However, I very much doubt TC39 would use this character, as it would cause a great deal of confusion and poor semantics, not to mention the complexity on the engine side (does the user want NOT or pipe?)
Maybe so, but if the Catholic church said "we're not publishing our books on Amazon because they publish controversial authors" that would be totally fine. I honestly don't have trouble with referring to this as "attempted censorship" except that lots of people have this connotation of "censorship" as being always and definitionally bad, whereas I think that should mostly just apply when governments do it by law rather then when private entities do it by choice. Because of this nuance, I think the word "censorship" generates more heat than light. I may have less trouble with it if people consistently distinguished between "private censorship" and "legal censorship" (or something like that).

Lisp Works is way better than SBCL ;)

Its just that open source communities have the most vocal proponents, but the closed source users tend to keep quiet and just get to work. Generalizing to some degree of course

And SBCL comes from CMUCL, most of the best parts of it are from that stellar implementation
This is exactly the entitlement your comment parent was on about. A third party should not have active insight into the first party's business like that - or their customers'. GDPR is a very welcome step forward in this regard, and I hope that more of such will come.
Villages here have tons of women working jobs. Those places are not rich, so when shops and factories opend, they seeked those jobs. Where they can't (like for lack of childcare) they often actually really struggle. The social issues are very real in those places.

Plus, is it? Or you are using rural as shortcut for fundamentalist Christian conservatives subcultures? The manipulative talking point "working to afford childcare so they don't have to interact with their own children" suggest so.
Agreed!

This is one thing that really confuses me about crypto. Whenever I've worked on a website there is an underlying idea that things need to be simple and intuitive because users aren't going to struggle to figure out how to use your site - they'll just bounce.

It's hard to reconcile my experiences with trying to get users to understand and use relatively simple things with the inscrutable nature of the crypto space. Crypto is overflowing with unwieldy acronyms and punishing rakes to step on. And yet, people are putting massive amounts of money into this?
I had this explained to me as Sega selling their remaining shares in Genda Inc/their joint venture. Genda was already the majority owner/maintainer of the arcades.

Now no longer having an affiliation with Sega, Genda's rebranding under the GiGo brand, but there's no real administrative change.
Ive been thinking about this in my own smart contract designs: cant a contract have a approve and transfer method that can accept an erc20 contract hash and transfer method from its ABI? Allowing that contract access to the erc20 tokens sent/assigned to it?
Thanks to you and @melissalobos for that information.

Maybe public policy beliefs is the better word for it, but either way, undoubtedly the type of speech meant to be protected.

Earnest misinformation cannot be an exception to freedom of speech without throwing away the entire concept. A lot of commonly accepted truths were dismissed as misinformation by the powers that be.

It doesn't even work as a practical matter. You get too many false positives--how many CDC facts have been called into question. They've even deliberately lied. Should bigTech have banned people saying masks work in April 2020 and ban people saying they don't in April 2021? And its not effective. At best, you are playing wackamole. And banning people from taking opposing positions just entrenches opposing view points.

If Donald Trump successfully lobbied bigTech to censor "misinformation" about covid, would you believe a fucking thing you heard from those sources?
Yeah for a one-person personal site Hugo seems like overkill.

For a site that is just a collection of static pages, I think it's just as easy to write directly in HTML. HTML is no more difficult than learning some other markup language, especially if you have an editor that helps you.

Let's talk about putting safety rails around large drops.

They should never be necessary with careful use.

And they can't prevent everyone from falling to their death.

But they still prevent some harms, so we generally require them to be present.

Design to do everything with contracts through methods instead of transfers to contract addresses would make this particular type of failure impossible. There would still be other ways to screw up and lose money on accident, of course. But any way that can be reasonably eliminated and isn't, is a design flaw.
I did not know this. However, do note that the ruling does not talk about this. It might have been a different browser altogether.

Also, it would seem to me that the responsibility for such behavior lies with Google and Google Chrome more than it does with individual webmasters.
Not sure about the detection part.. I setup a raspberry pi w/camera behind the peephole in my front door. I use the motion project[0] to do motion detection and recording of activity on my porch - the stream or photos from motion could be sent to some kind of detection (where presumably you'd train your own model from your own source photos of trucks or packages).

There's nothing odd about that, seeing as how law enforcement and national defence are some the few tasks relegated to the state in a libertarian society. Now if you were talking about anarchists sporting such stickers you'd be right but libertarians are not anarchists. They want as little government as possible, not "no government at all". In other words, there is no incongruity in having both a Gadsen flag as well as some Thin Blue Line piece of marketing material on a truck.
You're assuming the human both has agency, and gives a damn. It's more likely the human just rubber-stamps all bans, to get their KPI of number of appeals processed per day up!

Interesting historic context!

My understanding is that in the current world the suffix doesn't really matter, since all 28" rims and tires are marketed seem to be marketed as 700c, and all 27.5" ones as 650b. The height of the tire pretty much correlates with the tire width, so one would rather look at the tire and rim width to determine whether they are compatible (wider rims should be used for wider tires).

And it's actually fun that 700c bikes are usally ridden with narrower and lower tires than 650b bikes (which was in the recent years mostly used for mountain bikes and tire width of >= 2.3"), despite this designation claiming the opposite.
That's very true. That's why I'm in favour of something like this, I think: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30058898 It's not totally 'not cloud', but it's pragmatic, and would at least wean people off the ready-made cloud services and back to writing their code themselves (and relying on POSIX utilities which are often far more performant and reliable).

While typing the above (a bit of ▧am improv) I had this a bit of a "oh" moment as I envisioned the idea of the "good model citizen" a la China or the USSR, except instead of the... ideal being like *that* it's about being Your Best Most Optimally Saleable You.

Uhhhhh.
Midnight Commander is such a great name for a dirty flick.
A good place to start is "who does polarization benefit?".
Packet based networks are not a good analogy because there is typically only one railway line the discrete container units can travel along - the magic of the internet is the multiple routes data can travel along concurrently to destinations.
But the article mentions that the maximum utilization of a rail line is currently limited by how close trains can follow one another safely.

Back in the 90's, Wisconsin Central was a major freight railroad in the midwest (I don't know if it still is), and was trying really hard to be allowed to automate most of its freight lines.

Part of the problem was that for legal reasons, it had to convince every little town along the way to buy into the idea of automated freight trains rolling through their towns. I went to a bunch of public hearings about it.

At the time, WC had already reduced its trains to one or two humans (I think just one), and it was really easy for local politicians to envision a voter's car being struck by a train at a crossing and dragged for 500 miles, since there was no engineer to see it happen.

WC's response was that it was already running automated freight trains in New Zealand with no problems because they had cameras on board.

It then mentioned that with automated trains, it could run more trains closer together. If you've ever lived near a railroad, whether small town or big city, stalled freight trains blocking grade crossings are a major problem. So the little towns didn't like hearing that automation meant more trains.

I don't know what the status is today, but by the time I left the midwest, WC had instead shelled out the money to upgrade the tracks and grade crossings through the little towns so that it could plow trains through without slowing down, achieving the efficiency it was looking for, without resorting to automation.

Sounds great. I'm sure there's checks in place to ensure the smart contract can't have different logic for small amounts and large amounts. Right?
A bit odd to single out that Americans spend a lot of time commuting, when average American commute times are some of the shortest in the developed world.

Its more analogous to being surprised that a VCR might occassionally eat up and destroy a VHS tape, and thinking “this will stop mainstream adoption”
The going far feeling might come from the Overton window being pushed away in a direction. Regardless of what's right, healthy, good or bad usual things feel normal, and unusual will feel like going too far. The thing that matters in this feeling is what someone is gotten used to, which is not an objective quality of the thing, but an attribute of the viewer.
Billions have been transferred through that contract with no problem. Its pretty much the worse example to bring up that copypasta.

This was an early adopter that just got around to experimenting and didnt even try to keep up with how things work now.
Everyone in this thread reminiscing about hypercard and how more modern no-code tools still have not matched its amazing functionality and UI.

So, what's to stop someone today from making a modern hypercard clone? I imagine something which has the exact same UI logic as hypercard and allows projects to be exported as JavaScript WebApps. Is it not possible?

Seems like it should exist! Inviting any volunteers...
> The study says, “We see that sufficient redistribution can reduce both inequality and polarisation, although a high degree of redistribution is required to prevent
polarisation.”

Have they factored in the act of wealth redistribution itself being polarizing? From a statistical/theoretical perspective it checks out, but I bet practically speaking if you actually tried "a high degree of [wealth] distribution", the middle and upper classes would start screaming and it would cause even more polarization. If the key thing needed to reduce polarization is "reducing inequality", it would probably be good to investigate alternative methods of reducing inequality as well.

We do, in the context of a distributed embedded system.

It's great way to achieve high development velocity without compromises on runtime efficiency. I'm substantially proficient in C (we've had a bunch of systems done in it too) and there is no question we'd have missed our budget/time/features target had we chose it instead.

That said we don't use SBCL but LispWorks for delivery and CCL for development.
If Rust's syntax is geared to making safe Rust ergonomic, they should start by not requiring method calls to read or write from a &Cell<T> (because in C++ you don't need method calls to read or write from a T&).
If I place a link that says “Search”, and instead of starting a search on my site, I send you to Google.com, your browser will connect to Google’s server and thus telling them your IP address. Such a hyperlink that does not clearly warn users that clicking it will cause you to connect to someone else’s server would also have to be illegal according to this ruling.
There are many ways to check that, yes.

But the best way is to use a trusted contract.

The other ways are pretty absurd burdens to put on a user.
I cook mostly. I eat pretty good.

I come from a diverse background with a diverse friend group in a very large city. By diverse, I mean at least a dozen nationalities and largely immigrants from every continent. I'm no stranger to it, and it does hold value to me. But it's overrated, it's not worth being packed into an apartment building like a sardine and getting stuck in traffic going anywhere that isn't the corner store.

That said, where I live isn't exactly a monoculture. There are Indians, Vietnamese, Chinese, Philippino, Norwegians, Germans, Mexican and assorted other central american people, Cubans, and of course your usual white and black american people. All in a town with a 4 digit population.

The places I can get to in a 5 mile car ride where I live might not be places to buy stuff, but I can have a lot of fun out here. There's water, woods, lots of little food shacks and taco trucks and a couple of grocery stores, a few bars (I've grown out of bars mostly). It's low stress to get around, and when you get where you're going there's usually some people that aren't jaded by the smell of the masses and are eager to be friendly.

I wouldn't say the dating game is easier in cities. You've got just as much competition as options, and people in cities are more judgmental and unforgiving. And also, in my opinion, out here the quality of the people is just better in general.

I think largely the majority of people in cities are there because they're stuck there. Very few people anywhere moved there because they wanted to, most people are just born where they live, and in cities there's just more people in a smaller space. I don't think it's indicative of an advantage, and I think largely the desire to live there is driven by ideas like life outside of one is a waste, there's nothing to do, country bumpkins are bad neighbors, etc. Most of the selling points of densely populated environments are overstated, if they're true at all anymore IMO.

Not at all.

These are the things Germans get hung on about the US.

What I like about America are Americans. Especially middle America. They’re salt of the Earth. I grew up in Europe, and Europeans are, not all mind you, cynical and bitter people. Its so weird to move to America and having complete strangers salute you, even strike a conversation with you.

Thats why I love this country. Now, Europeans and europhiles obsess over guns, schools and free speech. They can shove it. We like our society the way it is. Otherwise, to live in an uglier version of Europe (European cities are beautiful), I would have stayed… in Europe!
Which is his right, at least if you support free speech. It’s no different from people refusing to buy products that are made in sweatshops or whatever else you can think of. Spotify is a commercial product, if they make decisions that make people not want to buy it then that’s just the free market regulating itself.

Until it’s the government doing it, it’s not a problem.
They are required to have agency and give a damn. Of course, it is hard to (dis)prove that they actually do.
