> I'll never understand

> The question in the end if whether etsy is worth it to them after all of the fees, restrictions, etc. If so, continue, if not, move

It seems you do understand after all, unless you are making the questionable claim that Etsy provides literally no value.

I think the crux of the matter here is that these sellers were previously happy with the tradeoff, and then Etsy changed the terms and they don't think it's worth it anymore. Getting angry and yelling about it in hopes of changing it rather than just shrugging and moving their whole business to another platform seems perfectly logical to me. The stuff with garbage resellers does seem like a really good point: Etsy is going to devalue themselves into the toilet if they don't do something about it and there is a mass exodus.
Etsy is a Tech/Data Company which gathers data on all the sellers etc...

Sellers are artisans, to think they are going to handle setting up an actual clud hosted marketplace and hire a savvy tech staff with devps, eng, support, cloud arch etc...

Nope.
I tried to find a place to buy a new slide rule for my 15-year old. I've got twins in different schools, one school doing a lot more math than the other, and I wanted to get him going on logarithms. Couldn't find a new one, just antiques on ebay, etc. I ended up making one of the paper ones, but they're not the same.

Does anybody make new slide rules?

This is what is actually happening. It is a crime and I wish Putin, his close circle and other directly responsible would end their days rotting in jail.

As for Canada turning into China and hosting their nukes. Of course this will never happen and is absurd. But in pure hypothetical world I am pretty sure the situation like this will turn into invasion if all negotiations fail. As a mini example see what happened when Noriega had started switching his allegiances from the US to a Soviet block.

It effectively means that a 4 star review has the same impact as a 1 star review.
The word appears in dictionaries, which document usage, but the word is nonsensical. "Irregardless" is used to mean "regardless", which is a far better choice of word.

irregardless (adj.)
an erroneous word that, etymologically, means the opposite of what it is
used to express; probably a blend of irrespective and regardless, and
perhaps inspired by the colloquial use of the double negative as an
emphatic. [1]

I'm looking for something similar for design interview practice purposes in my job hunt.

All the systems design resources I can find are aimed at L4/L5, where the focus is e.g. on how to implement a rate limiter on a single machine, or at best saying you can distribute it by putting the counters on a cache server.

I'm trying for L6 and can identify many of the issues with a L5 design (redundancy, sharding, global latency, hot spots, local batching), but it's hard not to miss the obvious, and to offer practical/realworld solutions, when my day job is embedded compilers and not large scale systems.

This is mostly a rant but I appreciate suggestions.
> We already largely know how to drastically reduce our emissions--clean energy and electrification

I think the parent is arguing against this premise.

You argue from a value system, in which cars for personal transportation, are an axiomatic condition. Not only that, cars, no matter their size, going as fast as geometry allows it, are an inherent fixture.

Solutions like EVs are a solution to carbon emissions, but only within this value system.

I can think of plenty of other solutions, all of them old-skool tech. Driving more frugal cars with high mpg (which will be lighter, smaller), would be a low-tech solution that anyone can implement today. However, since this is not in your value system, it does not occur to you. Since your value system is the dominant one, American car manufacturers no longer even want to put this solution up for sale. Not requiring people to commute, is another low-tech way we can curb carbon emission. Taxing cars by weight is a low-tech bureaucratic solution. A true forest of automated speed cameras to push top speeds down, and thus fuel consumption down, yet another one. Zoning which allows amenities in walking and biking distance is another, and infrastructure making walking and biking be safe, not having to worry about getting run over by 3-ton EVs, would be yet another low tech solution.

None of the above curb quality of life. But rather, they exist in a world that cannot be imagined.

> EVs involve much less "magic" to solve than any anti-car alternative.

This quote is a perfect encapsulation of your solipsism. You cannot even imagine these other solutions, and if you do, they appear magic. While this "magic"is the reality on the ground in so much other parts of the world. Even within the US, they exist.

EVs will not be a solution to curb carbon emissions. It is because EVs fundamentally do not address the root causes of why we have these emissions in the first place. The wasteful use of energy on personal transportation, caused by overly heavy, overly fast vehicles, having to drive over overly long distances, for even the most basic daily needs.

>What stops this?

Nothing really. Most people do not pay attention to how the sausage is made. They don't care if the car service they use was a total toxic fratbro culture using unsustainable pricing to lure in users. They just wanted "cheap" rides without caring about why they were cheap. Just as another comment on this topic suggested they don't care about original as long as the thing they want is cheaper.

So no, I don't really think that educated populace will stop supporting shit practices because they can't be bothered.
The lie is that Ukraine wasn't even considered for NATO membership and would be ineligible due to lack of territorial integrity ( Donbas and Crimea). NATO and Ukraine didn't claim Russia was bluffing, Ukraine refused to surrender their autonomy by promising they'll never join NATO. And of course, the real lie is that Russia was going to war no matter what. Leaked conversations of Kadyrov show that Russia was prepared to go in since last year, and the negotiations asking for impossible things was just a distraction. Like the Austrians did with Serbia in WWI.

Please go whatabout something else, people are literally getting slaughtered over the delusions of an ageing autocrat who has lost touch with reality.
The USSR's alliance with Cuba is a good analogy. The US viewed deploying nuclear weapons to Cuba as provocation, but did nothing to prevent the alliance itself, which continued for decades after the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Merely joining a defensive alliance is not provocation.
They didn't.

The standards to which we maintained things were far, far lower in the past because doing so was much more laborious and therefore expensive.
If Finland joins, Sweden will follow. We can't be the only baltic nation outside NATO. That would be both foolish and selfish. With the third largest party, SD, switching there is a majority in Riksdagen pro-NATO. S will follow soon.

>Can we please start de-escalating this situation?

Only Russia can de-escalate the situation.

The irony is that Russia could have taken Donetsk and Luhanks and the war would have been out of the news cycle by now. The West would just have repeated the harmless 2014 targeted "sanctions" on Russian oligarchs and politicians.

Putin's and Lavrov's genocidal speeches about Ukraine being a fake nation that should be "de-nazified" and the Russian attempt at taking the capital Kyiv has escalated this conflict into its current state.
> That wasn't NATO

what is a framework to distinguish NATO and non-NATO intervention? Let's say a conflict is small enough for a single country like the US to handle it. Is it still NATO or is it only the US with other members not objecting to it?

To convert a Google Doc to website by chapter, convert to ePub and unzip
Helpful trick for the days when you need to put each chapter on a separate page and still have a working Table of Contents & preserve links to images.

The key idea is that epub is simply a zipped static website.

It's like 3 lines of bash:

```bash
pandoc -s "$FILE" -t epub --epub-chapter-level=2 -o all.epub
unzip -q "all.epub" -d . && rm "all.epub"
mv EPUB/nav.xhtml EPUB/index.html

Yes, if there wouldn't be any issue with Vitamin D I would prefer to live without sun. There is reason why I use sunscreen.

People take drugs for enjoyment too. There are reasons why many drugs are banned. There are few drugs that are less lethal than alcohol.

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/cocaine-ecst...

The problem I find with alcohol is not some occasional drinkers, but the one who ruins everything for the sake of pleasure. In my country, these people cause a large damage. They speak nonsense in streets, harms pedestrian by reckless driving, waste money on women etc.. I have never seen such behavior when someone drank water. Many things looks okay in ideal state or in philosophy, but in real life people have to face the naunces.

Hence, I think comparing Alcohol with Water in terms of harmful effect is vacuous.

> why shouldn't adults be able to decide

Because the average adult is completely uninformed on this matter. And this is no fault of theirs - life is far, far too complicated and busy to become experts on the thousands of things we participate in.

Luckily, we can rely on regulation. We plug in a new appliance and it doesn't blow up. Our cars rarely catch fire on the highway due to defects, and if they do, regulation and the legal system forces recalls.
Finland and Sweden have historically been very closely aligned with their foreign/defense policies. Neither would join without consulting the other, so while there’s no guarantee that they’ll make the same decision, I certainly would not place the two at opposite ends when making odds.
Violating the rights of a minority group based on a moral crusade to “save people”. It’s definitely similar. Similar also in the insane amount of suffering it causes. If you care so much about depressed people then donate some money to the effort to find a cure instead of causing innocent people to suffer with your armchair morality lectures
NATO is primarily a defensive alliance. The organization has been used to coordinate some non-defensive activities under UN mandate, mainly intervention in the Yugoslav Wars, enforcing a no-fly zone over Libya during the Arab Spring, and fighting piracy off the coast of Somalia. All of these operations took place after the end of the Cold War.

The defensive clause of the treaty has only been invoked once, by the United States after the September 11 attacks.
I don't know how you've come to the conclusion that's a reasonable solution. Wiring harnesses on cars are a pain in the ass and definitely are not heavy duty enough for being removed many times. With a fuse you have to find the fuse box, remove the cover, find which fuse to remove, then pull it out with pliers. It's far more work than you're implying. Also, this is done every time I take my car in for service whether it's a tire change, oil change, or engine change.

More importantly you need to remember to put it all back together when you return the vehicle—not necessary with a switch.

It seems Canadian vehicles handle both use cases by allowing the vehicle to have the headlights off but only when parked.
Founder of Socket (https://socket.dev) here, a new tool built by npm maintainers to help solve JavaScript supply chain security.

I totally agree with the idea that we should assume all open source packages may be malicious. Socket.dev uses "deep package inspection" to characterize the behavior of an open source package. By actually analyzing the package code, Socket can detect when packages use security-relevant platform capabilities, such as the network, filesystem, or shell.

For instance, to detect if a package uses the network, Socket looks at whether fetch(), or Node's net, dgram, dns, http or https modules are used within the package or any of its dependencies.

This entails running static analysis (and soon, dynamic analysis) on a package – and all of its dependencies – to look for specific risk markers.

In this way, Socket can detect the tell-tale signs of a supply chain attack, including the introduction of install scripts, obfuscated code, high entropy strings, or usage of privileged APIs such as shell, filesystem, eval(), and environment variables.

We are taking an entirely new approach to one of the hardest problems in security in a stagnant part of the industry that has historically been obsessed with just reporting on known vulnerabilities.
Programs like this also encourage bots to come review or even buying reviews to game the system and if there is not a good way to combat this misuse, it can get out of hand pretty quick. Most reviews I look at on Amazon are pretty useless to me nowadays because I can't tell what's real and what's not.
Yep, this narrative is highly questioned in this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucio_Russo#The_Forgotten_Revo...

If I'm not mistaken, there is quite a bit of evidence that they knew the correct model was with the Sun in the center and they only used epicycles because it was easier to calculate with the tools they had (compass etc).

EDIT: I think the argument is at section "10.12 Seleucus and the Proof of Heliocentrism" of the book.
Ibn Shatir had most of it right except the heliocentric part. Tusi contributed a step but didn't take the last conceptual leap.
The theory that the Earth was the center of the universe dates from at least the time of Ancient Greece and is probably more ancient. There's nothing Christian about it, in fact Christian scholars probably took the idea from Ancient Greeks, whom they revered (particularly the Platonists).

There were certainly heliocentric models of the universe proposed before Copernicus, but Copernicus' one was the more well-developed. In some cases we don't even have a model, as such, just some third-hand accounts mentioning that someone thought the sun must be in the center of the universe.

I suspect the most famous example of that is Aristarchos of Samos, for whose heliocentric theory we only know via a very brief and poorly detailed passage in Archimedes' The Sand Reckoner:

You [King Gelon] are aware that "universe" is the name given by most astronomers to the sphere, the centre of which is the centre of the earth, while its radius is equal to the straight line between the centre of the sun and the centre of the earth. This is the common account (τά γραφόμενα), as you have heard from astronomers. But Aristarchus brought out a book consisting of certain hypotheses, wherein it appears, as a consequence of the assumptions made, that the universe is many times greater than the "universe" just mentioned. His hypotheses are that the fixed stars and the sun remain unmoved, that the earth revolves about the sun on the circumference of a circle, the sun lying in the middle of the orbit, and that the sphere of the fixed stars, situated about the same centre as the sun, is so great that the circle in which he supposes the earth to revolve bears such a proportion to the distance of the fixed stars as the centre of the sphere bears to its surface.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heliocentrism#Aristarchus_of_S...

So it's not that there weren't heliocentric models of the universe before Copernicus, just that they didn't really catch on, I guess.
No. The JS community won't happily import stupid packages to save two lines of code, any more than devs in any other community. A very small minority of devs will do this, and publish their larger packages. Those millions of downloads a month are transitive.
We've had a 50 year case study on what harsh criminal penalties for drug use results in. End result? Sky-rocking drug use with increased potency, cheaper prices, and a skyrocketing prison population. I'm not sure you could find a worse outcome.

Not only did we worsen the problem we were trying to solve (drug use), but we created two new ones with increased potency of the drugs leading to more deaths, and booming prison population, the largest in the world. It boggles the mind that any rational person would think that to continue going down this path will lead to some sort of improvement. I suspect it's just poor justification for the institution to preserve themselves. Cops gotta have their pensions.

What's the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
They're so poorly designed that they are completely useless. Also 100% illegal to use on road.
Around this time in 1995 or so OpenSTEP was running pretty well on Sun hardware but Sun management were busy fighting turf wars with each other to the point of completely dropping the ball on the project and just letting it go. So the more interesting question is what would have happened if Sun had bought NeXT or OpenSTEP from NeXT. They had great hardware and big company power back then.

The iPod had some software involvement, but was almost entirely a hardware play. It used an unusually capable small hard drive that Apple bought all of and in the early versions made use of Firewire for ease of use and quick transfers. All of the software for controlling it was contracted out to a company outside Apple that specialized in embedded applications which are really different from applications on home computers or workstations.
I don't know if you refer to Winter War or Continuation war, but both ended by Finland surrendering territory to the Soviets. After the first one, Finland allied with the Nazis, after the second one it lost freedom and sovereignty through Finlandization.

I'm not sure how both can be seen as anything but Soviet victories?
You forgot a little thing that happened before this, that Russia had already invaded and taken Crimea in 2014. Its not like after that Russia should have been treated like a rational actor and their past actions ignored. What should Ukraine have done, just sat there and watched as Russia ate them piece by piece naively believing that this annexation will be the last as long as we do exactly what they say?
I think with CRDT's you wouldn't just have an integer type. You would have to choose your int type acording to the operations you would want done for it. So it could be declared as a "register" crdt, in which case the semantics would be of set and override, or it could be declared as a counter, with semantics of increment/decrement.
During my flirtation with buddhism it came up quite often how inured some people are to constant noise. Everyone had stories of people who simply could not cope with a silent retreat.

Some people who are constantly 'on' are avoiding sitting with their own thoughts, in some cases due to treatable psychological conditions. The noise or the activity keeps them from being alone with themselves and sitting in a silent space, all of their intrusive thoughts hit like a ton of bricks and they can't even.

I wonder how much of the noise around us is invited rather than simply tolerated or excused.
Ukraine didn't join NATO. It wasn't on the brink of joining NATO. It got invaded anyway. So if Finland, say, joins NATO and gets invaded, did it get invaded because it joined? Or would it have been invaded anyway?

I also condemn war. I don't want there to be war. But given the crazy man in the east, I'd rather have people to help me shoot back if it came to that.

True, but you miss my point in referring to this. You still don't get to choose when someone else's mistake might harm you. Also, we as the public in general routinely trust planes with millions of risky flights despite not knowing anything about how well or safely they work, or how they work at all in detail. We accept that accidents sometimes happen nonetheless because that's how it goes with human technology that we've come to depend on. The important thing is that precautions are taken as much as reasonably possible. The same standard can be applied to driverless cars without getting fearful of them simply because of their newness.
Makes a lot of sense.

Some of the aviation could be changed quite a lot if fuel savings was more weighed. For example tankers and transports could be turboprop, maybe use more smaller higher L/D drones instead of F-18:s if not absolute needed etc...
This book is awesome if only because it made me realize that some of these ancients like Seneca were actually giant pompous twats.
