> black people here were actively denied their rights that the civil war was supposed to have guaranteed them.

The Civil War was not supposed to have guaranteed anyone any rights.

Some changes to the Constitution rammed through after the Civil War were, but it's important to separate those from the war, which was about the objective that, even before the rebellion, the notionally-abolitionist Republicans expressly put ahead of treating blacks as humans, the preservation of the unity of the Republic.
Well their property tax does stay in perfect stasis, at least in cali ;)
> A large number of people who live in the project are people on section 8 and disability with no ties to the region whatsoever.

No ties besides… living in said community. How is the disability status of residents relevant to your classification of the project as a failure? Are you advocating for federal housing aid to come with requirements like “locals only” and “non-disabled residents only”?
lol what? This gives you an extra hour to enjoy sunlight in the afternoon. Do you think employers are going to move from 8-5 to 10-7 just so you won't be able to enjoy a bit of sunlight?
They use "harmony" the same way we use "freedom": as propaganda for control and imperialism.

How do you sell violence to the populace? For collectivist countries, it's "they are unlike us, we will show them our ways." For individualist countries, it's "we are unlike them, we will show them our ways." It doesn't really matter what noble buzzword you attach to your violent ideology, in the end you have a hierarchical society predicated upon the exploitation of the less powerful.

In describing what I perceive their objectives to be, it does not in any way mean I condone their actions. Only that I desire to understand a great power that is more than likely going to become a great enemy someday soon, unless we can somehow find common ground with their common people and rebel against the violent, coercive elitism in both cultures.

The average person anywhere isn't really all that different, in my personal experience. But their supposed values, most of which go unexamined their whole lives, are largely shaped by the cultural environment they grew up in. More often than not they just toe the line of whatever hero their parents or friends happened to worship, typically some asshole elite. That's as true in China as it is in the USA. That's not a defense of Chinese oppression, it's a recognition of human folly in the aggregate.

For what it's worth, we incarcerate more people than the Chinese, even though they have 4x the population. For every Xinjiang they have we have a Gitmo, for every Tibet we have Afghanistan and Iraq. There are no innocent superpowers; all are evil and got there by doing great evil in the not-so-distant past.
> mmm hrm. And how many synonyms for "three" do you know of? I didn't say I owned three "automobiles" either.

You did list three vehicles, that could be where the three came from. I probably shouldn't have commented though, but I guess it's too late for that.

> The point is that - I am one that this article would have called out to be vandalized, but for no reason so I can identify.

I am too. And I too would get very angry if something like this left me stranded 30 miles from the job site with a load of lumber while I was in a restaurant eating lunch. The words I would use in such a situation would not be appropriate here.

Mark Zuckerberg Confirms NFTs Are Coming to Instagram
He's going to raise money to buy the rights to music, mint NFTs, sell bite-sized ownership chunks to thousands of people for the nostalgia value, and then hire lawyers to sue people violating copyright(such as people playing copyrighted music in online video games), and distribute the rewards based on ownership of the NFT.

Sort of like creating a new RIAA - some of your profit is licensing the music, and some is settlement money from mass lawsuits that you send to every torrent pirate or streamer on the internet.
Thanks! Do they include coding examples or is it advised you think of your own wrt the material?
One thing that could help with the bots is leveraging some of the community generate blocklists for the ssh bots such as blocklist.de though there are other providers. It may not stop all of them, but will cut down a lot on the noise. These are generally useful for any ssh instance exposed to the internet.
See Poison Pill (https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/de...)

tldr; A poison pill is a shareholder rights plan or other strategy that can be used to fend off an acquirer or force them to the negotiating table.

It is not a total ban on acquisition but more of a strategy to help the board with a negotiating tool.

AngelList Stack for Beginnners or Other Options?
I am a first-time app founder from Canada and just turned 18 so I don't have experience with getting investors or incorporating my business. I found AngelList Stack and started reading a thread on it however I wasn't really clear on it. Do you have advice on whether I should use this or what other options are best for each of its features and can explain the specifics of them in a more simplified way?
Thanks!
> Yeah, we even have the technology for clocks to adjust themselves automatically. Which is great when everything goes according to plan. The thing is, sometimes it doesn't.

I’m all for KISS but the fact that we can’t get software to do do this reliably says much more about software quality than anything else. This just isn’t complicated. We’re not talking about calculating across timezones or accounting for leap-seconds or anything like that. Just add/remove an hour on two specific days of the year.

> People from rural areas never have to go to the city...

I try not to but sometimes it happens. I don't drive enough outside of work to justify even the insurance on my car. So it stays parked and on the rare occasion I have to make a trip that's not for work, or on the way home from work, I must drive my truck. Sometimes I even need the truck outside of work.
Why do you feel development through sprawl would be easier to get through CEQA than building upwards? (As someone currently serving on a Local Agency Formation Commission, I actually think I would have told you the opposite?...)
There are probably better ways to achieve this than some pseudo-Hungarian notation on method signatures, right?

I'm predisposed to agree with you but I would hate looking at code and seeing method signatures like DoThingString(string), DoThingInt(int), etc.
> Go could have provided message queues with priorities Erlang style

Erlang doesn't have priorities; you can fake them with selective receive, but IIRC selective receive is considered a code smell and something that should generally be avoided or minimized.

(You can also have a separate process act as a priority queue channel by, well, storing messages in an actual priority queue structure and sending from its head, and that's a little more robust.)
As someone who lives in the north. During the winter standard time is absolutely brutal. You drive to work in the dark and by the time you leave its dark. At least that's the case for most people. Moving it an hour forward may alleviate this at least a little bit.
Russia promises not to abandon NASA astronaut on Space Station
Still works, with a slight variation: instead of taking two measurements, you can take four successive measurements [A,B,C,D] over equal periods of time, and then do the aforementioned procedure with the values A+D and B+C as input.

If the activity is decreasing at a linear rate, then A+D and B+C should have exactly the same distribution. In reality, they will be ever so slightly different because the decay is exponential rather than linear, but over short periods of time (compared to the half-life) the linear approximation is extremely good.
This is how it works by default in New Zealand, and it works quite well in my opinion.

If you have a student loan then your tax code changes and student loan repayments are deducted from your pay like payroll taxes, at a rate 12% of every dollar you earn over the repayment threshold (~$20k NZD annually). In effect (combined with Kiwisaver, our retirement savings plan deducted at the same time) this means that you don't really need to think about your student loan when earning wages or a salary as your take home pay already accounts for this.

You can add manual repayments, but this is seldom done in NZ as student loans are interest free under certain conditions so there is less incentive to repay them quickly.
It's hell for families with kids (in my experience).
It's still 100% total bullshit. For law enforcement to make any attempt at convincing someone to commit a crime so that they could then come in and make the arrest to solve the crime is absolutley something that should not be allowed.

If I hire a hitman to do a deed, I go to jail more than the hitman. When a LEO convinces someone to do a crime, they need to go to jail too.
> I have lived in multiple countries across different continents. Even if race was not as big of a hot topic issue, eceryone could tell if a person of a different race is standing in front of them.

Really? I'm of predominantly Irish-British descent – are Spaniards, Italians, Greeks a "different race" from me? How about Turks, Syrians, Lebanese, Israelis, Palestinians, Egyptians, Jordanians, Iraqis, Armenians, Azerbaijanis, Persians, Afghanis, Pakistanis, Indians? You can travel from one end of Eurasia to the other, and people in Western Europe look rather different from people in South or East or Southeast Asia (who in turn look rather different from each other), and yet they are just different extreme points of a smooth continuum – where on that continuum do you draw the line and say that people on this side are one race and people on the other are another? I can't do it, and I don't believe you can actually do it either.

At a healthcare system I worked at, the EMR would be shut off for the repeated hour in the fall. I'm not sure if it was because the EMR couldn't handle it (very possible, since all EMRs are shitty) or if it was the human factor that was the problem.
It's pretty interesting if you go back 50 years from the 1960's and 70's you wind up in the middle of World War I, just before that you have things like Igor Stravinsky causing riots in 1913 Paris because of how extreme his music was.

I think major reason earlier music was not as popular was due to how people consumed music. For a long time the only way a lot of people would get to experience music would be to attend concerts, which was a relatively privileged thing to be able to do. Records were one of those things that didn't really take off until post world war I.
Same here, but 4:15. Way way too early.

It kinda feels like a lot of people are unaware of just how far sunrise/sunset shifts over the course of the year in some areas. The only solution would be to decouple all of society from clocks, and that's just not going to happen, so there has to be a trade-off somewhere.
Wow. I thought it was sketchy that they were charging to recoup (times a huge multiple) their minor server/bandwidth costs. Not that.
Well, OK, but that isn't fair to say "C" or strcpy(). That's the implementation - so is it surprising that the common underlying implementation of "C" can be coerced into indeterminate or even Turing complete behavior?

It's fair to say that C allows unsafe calls. It's useless to point out that undefined-behavior and unsafe calls could result in Turing completeness. Strcpy() is not Turing complete - it doesn't automatically detect and protect against unsafe usages. That are evil.
No definitely not. The majority of people and the majority of countries are multilingual. People conducting business in a language other than the one spoken at home is possibly even the norm, worldwide. And many places have regionally varying languages within a country.

Even in "monolingual" countries this is true to some extent. Most of the people likely to be in here right now are are in countries clustered along one side of the spectrum, that we are a minority and an outlier.
> I’ve gotten paranoid that they may live somewhere that doesn’t observe Daylight Savings.

Maybe I can help you with that. I’m from Arizona, which does not observe any time change, effectively meaning that we’re on MST for part of the year and PDT for the rest. I have _never_ heard of someone living in Arizona refer to our time zone as MST, MDT, PST, or PDT, but only as “Arizona time” or something to that effect.
Interesting! So what I am hearing from this is that some day we will overcome this and have programs that can rap. And then companies with customer support bots will have a little check box if you want the bot to rap all responses to you.
This is my critique of go too. It's really easy to write code that works well for all of the cases I can think to test. But it is strictly impossible to write code where I can make guarantees of robustness.

These little warts that prevent that are everywhere: lack of sum types (no Option / Result), half-assed enums, no real ability to make things const, inability to express exhaustive switch statements, having to downcast to `interface{}/any`, nil, typed nil, and on and on and on.

The longer I develop software, the less I care about being able to write software that works and the more I care about being able to write software that doesn't fail. The former is table stakes, and I can throw together something that works in virtually any language. The latter is what not only prevents me from spending nights and weekends fixing problems, but also allows me to finish software and truly move on to new projects without having to constantly play whack-a-mole fixing new issues that keep coming up.
It would be absolutely legit to kneecap anyone trying to mess with your wheels. And this guy is probably some basement-activist who couldn't afford a car.

And if he really thinks he can mess with other people's things and get away with it, I won't be surprised if he's arrested or even shot someday.
Which is so surprising. Religious, cultural and political connections between India and Tibet are old and historic.
The original version of Donnie Darko was “downgraded” from INXS to Echo and The Bunnymen, among others. The director’s cut replaced or repurposed several tracks. The original was better, a little too much tinkering, I think.

There are ways to appear to commit a felony without actually doing it. For example, he could sell a large amount of drugs to another informant or he could rob a fake business set up by the fbi.
I’m a big fan of Go adding generics, but I can see some of what people are worried about. I don’t think it’s “business logic that would benefit from being made generic”, it’s that generics allow people to write new data structures that aren’t currently reasonable to write in Go. For example:

- Sets

- Trees/graphs

- Stacks/queues

- List-like data structures with different performance characteristics than slices

- Monadic data structures you find in functional languages, like Option (for dealing with the lack of a value), Either (one of two possible values), Future (basically either a success or an error, computed asynchronously), etc.

I’m sure we’ll see popular libraries providing all of the above, and more. Generics will make for a wider variety of programming styles in Go, which has downsides as well as upsides.

Go will likely get a bit more functional/declarative/high-level, a bit less imperative/procedural/low-level. It’s not about to become Haskell or Scala, but maybe a bit more like TypeScript or statically typed Python, a bit less like C.
> I like living in a small rural town.

Well, fine, live in one that's actually rural because it's rural, not because of NIMBY regulations keeping it in some weird artificial bubble. There are a shitload of them all over the west.

This is a legit rural town: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakeview,_Oregon - it's never going to be a big town because it's very remote. It's quite charming in its own way.

A lot of comments here seem to miss how exactly Tesla FSD works.

First, it is important to understand that there is FSD and then there is FSD beta. For our purposes, these two are distinct.

- To be able to use FSD, you must purchase it for $12,000 USD.
- To be able to use FSD beta you must have FSD AND either 1) have a high enough driver score after which Tesla might invite you to join the FSD Beta or 2) receive access to the FSD beta whilst you are an employee

FSD Beta has extremely strict prerequisites. Some of these conditions include traveling 100 miles or more in a 30-day period, having a computed driver score that must be in the top percentiles of driver safety, and additionally, Tesla must actively be pursuing a fresh batch of FSD Beta invitees.

In anycase, after the entire Otto / Uber lawsuit(s) + one of the engineers supposedly uploading source code files to their iCloud account, Tesla Autopilot really hardened the NDAs around the department. I don't think they were in the wrong.

I think a huge power in frame-based programming, that is super under-appreciated, is how you can make errors a lot more obvious by limiting input.

Left side is a number? Right side's gotta be one too!

You can also stop `if foo = bar` style errors as well.

Of course those errors show up anyways when you run a program, right? But being shown the error in context quickly, and having UI space to be able to add links to documentation and other details is a real boon to learning in my opinion.

And you can provide autocomplete that only provides "good" options. This can help with discoverability (though it's tough to get a "why is this not showing up" answer, granted).

Imagine if our shells actually worked like this! There's reason everyone installs all of the cool bash/zsh completions for all these tools.
Two different theories are commonly proposed to explain lift, and advocates on both sides argue their viewpoints in articles, in books and online.

The researchers may be completely correct, but this is still bikeshedding. It would be a grave mistake to stick with DST/ST switching just because permanent ST is better than permanent DST.

> If we want to improve human health, we should not fight against our body clock

You know what is really fighting against the body's clock? Suddenly shifting your normal wakeup time in any direction by an hour. No matter what your baseline sleep quality is, no matter if your body prefers getting up when it's light or dark, shifting that wakeup time by an hour with no prep will negatively affect your sleep quality.

The effort to abandon DST and move to ST (as positive as it may be) should be separated from the effort to abandon DST/ST switching. If this bill gets rejected in the House because people are so caught up in the DST/ST debate that they ignore the almost unanimous research conclusion that sudden sleep-schedule shifts are bad for most people -- that would just be a complete failure of policy.

This is like arguing over whether jogging or biking is better for your joints when the status quo is sitting on a couch. For most people, regardless of whether ST is better than DST for them, forcibly breaking their sleep schedule is the worst outcome.
