It's a slippery slope if you start thinking in this way. It starts out saying "well, just dress a little less provocatively" or "don't talk about expanding Nato", but you'll end up realizing that was always just an excuse and the assaults will happen regardless, just with different excuses given. Then you'd have people saying you need to make another "small" concession, and so on.

As to what the west could actually have done, it's things like "not elect Trump" or "not do Brexit" or "not have growing right wing movement in Hungary and nearby countries". The general fragmentation and disunity in Western culture over the last couple of decades is what allowed Putin to think he could get away with this. The Nato stuff is mostly just another false flag/excuse, or, at best, it's just one tiny part of the cause.

While certainly interesting research, I don't think this necessarily supports plants having emotions and/or inner lives so much as it demonstrates a sensory-feedback loop. That said, whether we consider that as "pain", or what organisms we consider capable for feeling pain is an interesting question. I frequently bring DFW's Consider the Lobster up in my personal life just because it challenges our definition of "the capacity for pain" as convenient for peace of mind.

FWIW I don't really bother trying to make ethical arguments for vegetarianism/veganism because of these tricky definition problems. I think it's a bit easier to argue for reduced meat consumption for ecological reasons, or to reduce the need for factory farming, etc.
Successful architectures seem to need a certain degree of pragmatism. ARM isn't exactly the RISCiest RISC, nor is AMD64 as baroque as the outer limits of CISC like iAPX 432.

FJCVTZS is an example of pragmatism, the JavaScript spec says float to int should be done the way that x86 does it, the original ARM FCVTZS (no J) didn't do it the same way, but JavaScript is so important you have to add a special case.

I hope I'm not mischaracterising the RISC-V side, but I seem to recall their argument against things like FJCVTZS was that that there should be some standard set of instructions that compilers should emit for that special case, and the instruction decoder on high end CPUs should be magic enough to detect the sequence and do optimal things (fused instructions?). Which kinda felt like "we must keep the instruction set as simple as possible, even if it makes the implementation of high performance CPUs complex". See also the "compressed instructions" stuff, which feels again like passing the buck for complexity onto the CPU implementation side (unless it's just a Thumb like 16 bit wide instruction set thing given a misleading name).
What's scarier, the idea that after all these years the markets haven't priced this into cryptocurrency valuations ... or that cryptocurrency valuations might already have priced this in?
I'll probably get downvoted, but...

Maybe we also accept that some limits can't be surpassed, at least not at an acceptable cost. In my opinion, the world cannot sustainably support so many people. So artificial limits we like to defeat, natural limits are much tougher.
I'm sure that if they are the last man standing and all of Ukraine is turned into rubble soaked through with blood that they'll declare victory.

For Russia, that may be an acceptable outcome. The last century and a half of Russian history has a large number of mass death events.

Irrelevant. There is already war. The time for imposing severe prices is now.

There is no longer any point in holding penalties in reserve. If there are penalties to apply then apply them.
It's a parochial viewpoint. You can only believe that written language is the presumptive best way to communicate if you only participate in a narrow range of activities.

What exactly is his point here? What the hell is measuring software? We don't have a biological software sense, so his analogy doesn't make sense to me from the get go.

Software has many different uses and many things that can be measured. Is he suggesting we should only have one ruler to measure it with? Baking bread, as one of his examples, doesn't only use one ruler, it uses at least 4 (heat, time, weight, volume).

We've had tractors for 200 years, where's our tractor ruler?

Smells like bs to me.
Sometimes, I feel that we ought to have a simple protocol, on top of HTTP, to simply do remote procedure calls and throw out all this HTTP verbs crap. Every request is a http POST, with or without any body and the data transfer is in binary. So that objects can be passed back and forth between client and server.

Sure, there is gRPC, but it requires another API specification (the proto files).

There I said it. HTTP Verbs constrained REST APIS are the worst thing ever. I hate them.

They introduce un-necessary complexity, un-necessary granularity and they almost always stray away from the "REST principles". To hell with "Hypermedia" stuff.

I find it such a joy to program in server rendered pages. No cognitive overhead of thinking in "REST".

But, of course, all this is only where the client and server are developed by the same person / company.

For publishing data and creating API for third party use, we have no serious, better alternative to REST.
Perhaps the secondary consequences of the actions take to allegedly avoid deaths, which may or may not have actually avoided deaths, but most assuredly and profoundly affected children in a negative way. Especially poor children.

We should have focused on that. We should have found any way possoble to not blight a generation of children on the basis that grandmothers who would die in 18 months may die in 12 months instead. It may sound harsh, but that’s what we should have done.
The proper argument was always that optimizing compilers generate better assembly than 90% of the people using them could generate, and in a fraction of the time.

However these things often get turned into stronger (or different) arguments as they pass from mouth to ear repeatedly.

Sometimes they change completely, as in "the plural of anecdote is data"
Did pretty much that for twenty years (more than one kid) - I considered it a positive 'nickel and dime' expense that has paid off with kids graduating (honours) without a dime of student loan debt. Initially it was driven by 'not having that opportunity ourselves (spouse & I) and looking into the future and deciding that whatever education choices our kids made it wouldn't be lost value to save a bit.

One thing I'll note is that like a coffee habit, after the first year or so the concious thought of the expense disappeared - 'out of sight, out of mind'.
That barr report directly rebuts that NASA report. I don't know the ins and outs of any of these and i'm sure some floor mats have caused it but i highly doubt that hundreds of deaths are attributed to it without there being some kind of manufacturing defect.

the guy was a chp officer that had to take really intensive high speed driving courses and also had car issues before that eye witnesses attested to. if anyone was well equipped to drive a car it was him and the extenuating circumstances seem to point to other factors than a floor mat. I've never bought that since the floor mat had to do two contradictory things at once... both pin the accelerator down and also simultaneously prevent the brake from engaging. for that to happen more than once is very hard to believe. it really seems like a canard thrown out by toyota so it wouldn't cause panic about their car software.

We’re iterating on a standard for this - our current thinking is to use well-known URIs to publish both a public key (is the hash legit?) and hash endpoint URIs for clients to pull.

The extension requirement is an “unfortunate” friction point due to needing a separate security context for hash verification. Doing this part natively will be the biggest adoption win.
That's how you know there aren't any real penalties to apply left.
>> I can't just transmit my money into and out of a Spanish bank account in order to launder it.

> Happens all the time. How do you think this happens

No it doesn't? I'm sorry, are you really saying that you believe that people commonly launder money by simply transferring it abroad and back? No, it gets laundered through businesses where transactions can be falsified, or through dealings in loosely-regulated assets like art. You have no idea what you're talking about!

> Why is the argument weird?

Because it's a non-sequitur. "Simply because cash isn't being phased out as part of a CBDC doesn't mean it couldn't be phased out later." These are unrelated policies. There's no connection here. Just because cash isn't being phased out as part of municipal road maintenance doesn't mean it couldn't be phased out later either. This is not a valid argument.

As far as your enumerated arguments:

(1) Discussions by whom? I haven't heard any serious proposals with any substantial support. Just idle speculation from bloggers.

(2) Phasing out large banknotes is not the same as banning cash. You can just use multiple smaller notes.

(3) Large cash transactions already have to be reported for tax purchases. I don't think it makes sense to ban them, but it's not as if the flow of large amounts of money hasn't always been regulated. That said, which countries exactly ban 1000 Euro cash purchases? Just because some tiny Slavic country is doing it, doesn't mean it's realistically going to happen in the rest of the world.

(4) Exactly who is going to stop you from buying a sandwich with a $20 bill? This is hysteria.

(5) Some random UK think tank proposing that large cash purchases be restricted isn't the same as a proposal that cash be banned, and think tanks propose stupid ideas all the time.

Then again, I did say "nobody wants to ban cash" — maybe I should rephrase my argument less hyperbolically: There is no substantial support for the abolition of cash in the United States. Cash is not going anywhere.

> CBDC is just North Korea, but for the naive in the West.

Again, what does a CBDC have to do with cash abolition? Nothing. They're independent proposals. Besides, a CBDC can't do anything a bank can't already do. CBDCs are just a boogeyman for you to fearmonger about.

That exists, eg Zigbee or Z-Wave. I have Zigbee (it's an open standard) and I love it.

Having the home automation communications be a message queue instead of a general-purpose communication protocol is so much better.
I think it's having to watch it die that really horrifies people. I know someone who took his kids to a small farm to see a cow get slaughtered and help prepare the meat. At first I thought it was kind of messed up and unnecessary. But honestly after thinking about it, everyone should be doing that. People should see where their meat comes from, realize something had to lose it's life for that meal. People would care more about mistreatment in factory farmed meat if they had to see the real emotions of farm animals
For max return and safety, I go with stocks that, on weighted average, have a low beta, preferably in the 0.80s. These stocks trend continuously upward and don’t suffer as much from sudden market downturns. They keep up with inflation.
A weapon should not be judged on what the most good it could do, but on what the most evil it could accomplish.
Which country are the Russians in question citizens of?
True. But it sort of depends on the kind of relationship "orders" has. E.g. "orders" is a good example to use your suggested GET /orders?user_id=:id and that is probably because an order has a many-to-many relationship, e.g. with users and products (i.e. an order doesn't belong to neither user nor product). However, take something like an "address" which might belong to a user (one-to-many), i.e. the user has ownership of the relationship with an address, in that scenario you probably want to use GET /users/:id/addresses

But then again, when it comes to API's, domain modelling is the hard part and it is therefore the reason why you don't want to return nested results/objects.
Interesting! Thanks :)

One sad thing is localization for Canada is kind of broken for a lot of platforms it seems? For a lot of people that I help having their locale has Canada seems to usually base it off of United Kingdom stuff including setting paper size as A4(!)

Which… I wish we used but unfortunately we don’t - we use the US paper system. this causes problems with stricter printers and printing and also just manufacturing stuff like PDFs

There is no mention of HTML in these recommendations.

The recommendation is perfectly good for any API using HTTP as the substrate. The wisdom of using HTTP as a protocol substrate is questionable, but having made that decision the verbs it supplies work perfectly well.

Incidentally, the HTML living standard supports three form methods, not two: get, post, and dialog. Which rather reinforces the point that HTML != HTTP.
Everything new is cancerous in this exact same way. Every piece of software, every piece of hardware, every appliance. EVs just happened to scale up production at the same moment that everything was becoming so thoroughly diseased.

> And please, do use a question mark at the end of a question. "Can you send me those TPS reports." is a clear sign of psychopathy.

I thought he was making a bad joke but apparently there's all this pop science that says you're a psycho if you end your texts with a period and forget to use your exclamation marks, lols, and emojis. So if you use ASCII or UCS-2, there's no way you're not a stone cold killer. I think the idea originates from a 2012 paper https://www.onlineprivacyfoundation.org/research_/Sumner_Pre... which oddly enough doesn't mention the period or question mark at all.

> Psychopathic traits were significantly positively correlated with swear words (r(2,614) = 0.187, p = < 0.001), anger (r(2,614) = 0.151, p = < .001), death (r(2,614) = 0.094, p = < 0.001) and negative emotion (negemo) (r(2,614) = 0.084, p = < 0.001). We also saw significantly positive correlations between psychopathic traits and filler words (r(2,614) = 0.073, p = < 0.001).

Which suggests people who are foul, angry, and negative have a higher probability of being on the dark triad. However if you look at the correlations table, the dataset the researchers used suggested that psychopaths are much less likely to use exclamation marks. That's very interesting! Because I've always wondered why every corporate email since then has lots of them!
While I appreciate the sentiment pigs IMO are the wrong animals to start.

Pigs are supposed to be cheap and people aren’t supposed to care if we kill them, they become food, and maybe someday as carriers for human organs for transplant. Same with animals like chickens, just raise them and eat them. Seems pointless to focus on the emotions of these creatures. Better to start with animals like dogs and cats that are more meaningful to societies.
> I was slightly resentful because I could have mitigated the computer's loss of senses with my own.

For me this is the crux of the matter. As the person in the driver's seat, I demand that I be the ultimate arbiter of what the motor(s) and wheels ought to do, regardless of what any set of sensors and/or set of computer programs thinks is going on.

I once had a car refuse to release the emergency brakes when it was time to disembark a ferry because the firmware misinterpreted the natural rocking of the vessel (and hence the car itself) as some kind of suspension fault. It left me more than "slightly resentful." I was absolutely furious at being stuck in a really rotten situation where my car was actively causing problems for those around me (people behind me had to drive off the ferry) and wouldn't even let itself go into a mode where it could be pushed off. The dealership's service center simply said, "Uh, sorry. Your brakes are locked. You can't override it. You need to get it towed in."

I don't care if the car thinks it's keeping you from rolling off a 500-foot cliff. If I say, "No, release the brakes, I mean it," the car had better do exactly as I tell it.

they can just post what it is they or the customer are trying to do and the misbehavior they're seeing or the error message.

"is there an issue with the latest release?"

vs.

"i've got a customer that just upgraded from version A.B.C to X.Y.Z and the <specific feature> configured in <specific way> trying to do <specific thing> is failing with <specific error message>, could this be a regression or did something change deliberately?"
This is nonsense. If the opposing viewpoint can’t even be put across due to the threat of jail time, you only get one. Whatever manipulation you feel occurs in other systems, outright suppression of dissenting opinion is worse, for the individual and for accuracy of information.

You can't just buy a laptop from Lenovo when you want it. You have to wait for the right time.

I'm still trying to figure out Lenovo pricing in the US. Without any discount their laptops are way to expensive compared to the competition. But then, they do these massive random 50%+ discounts and make their laptops priced less than anything else on the market. The question is why would they do that? It's as if they want to dump some old stock. But the laptops they discount are not old, they are top of the line.

Complexity of storage/presentation formats can indeed compromise accessibility and longevity. However, trying to enforce plain text on everything can be detrimental to the quality and fidelity of information.

Of course, it very much depends on the context - technical documents may not need images as much as a travelling blog would. That's why it's important to use plain text as necessary, rather than always. The same applies to any format, including images and even videos. It's about balancing the usage of different formats, plain text included.

With this in mind, it's certainly recommended to start with plain text, but if plain text doesn't cut it, it's much more practical (and beneficial for the information) to just add an image. Ideally, one should always diversify how they store and present a piece of information, if they can afford to do so.

There is a tragic irony in sacrificing the potential fidelity of information in hopes of making it universally accessible.
