> Again, the only 'accommodation' that is asked is to just let them live. Seems like not a hard thing to do, and not something one would have to go out of their way of to 'push back against'.

But OP is letting them live. Unless you are alleging OP is running around killing trans people??

I know a ton of people hate MB for going closed, but what were they supposed to do? They spend all that time and money doing R&D to develop new printers and then Chinese groups would take those plans and sell identical printers for a huge discount since they didn’t have to pay American salaries or do any real R&D?

It was like that terrible time Apple tried to have clones. The clones just undercut Apple and made sales even worse, causing them to lose money faster. Except at least the clones paid some licensing fee.

Seems like they had to go closed or fold.

> If investing in crypto is a scam, why isn't investing in these other currencies also a scam?

Isn't the answer to this that other currencies are backed by the might (both economic and military) of nations? I don't think mainstream blockchains like bitcoin and ethereum are scams, but this is an important distinction between sovereign currencies and cryptocurrencies.
There is no dignity in watching your life savings evaporate from inflation caused by politicians and governments beyond your control.

Inflation is the cruelest way to invalidate the fruit of the labor of a man’s life.
First item for preventing cronobacter infections:

Breastfeeding. This is one of the best things that can do for the infant's health, and benefits include preventing many kinds of infections. Reports Cronobacter infections among infants who were fed only breast milk and no formula or other foods are rare.

I wonder how long we will continue with this whack-a-mole debugging of systems regulating systems regulating systems before people broadly realize that evolution has already done a damn fine job--one that is awfully hard to improve upon.

With respect, it sounds as if you have some issues with authority.
The chaps were told weeks in advance. The box was for their
safety. It's not a theatrical magicians box that disappeared down a
trap door in a puff of smoke while my scantily clad assistant made big
eyes and cooing noises. It's just a clear plastic storage cube in full
view the whole time - really no different than having it on the desk
in front of you, just a few feet further away.

> Would you be comfortable leaving your wallet in a pile of other
wallets in a box you can't control?

Absolutely yes, in the hands of a trusted figure, if protocol demanded
it. I have to put my gear through a scanner every time I fly. Damnit,
I have to put my life in the hands of others. It's something you get
used to as you grow. We're not all in in control all the time.

> Sure, someone inevitably forgot to turn off their second morning alarm

You're making my point for me. The example I am giving is just a
crummy maths exam. People are griping about scratched screens and
other first world "nightmares". The original article was about getting
yourself and all your buddies blown to pieces because of an
"inevitable" lack of self-discipline.
You only need total mass and total volume. No other details leak out.

A non spinning black hole is an absolutely perfect sphere, with no "hair". A spinning black hole is flattened, or maybe even a torus, but is still mathematically perfect.

Not correct, it harms people and they attempt to convert others which can result in harm to your family and friends.
Thought experiment: why doesn't the United States have something like 20 years worth of calories for every American stockpiled by now? I'm more than half-serious. Skim a few percent surplus of stable oils and dried peas over the years, build up a reserve, stick them in vaults in Montana and Virginia. The cost would be quite small, even trivial, in the grand scheme of things.

What if there's a volcanic eruption and we spend half a decade in semi-darkness? Our civilization probably could survive that if we prepared. And we know something of that scale happens every few thousand years. We have more potential for reserve capacity than ever and yet we run on razor-thin margins even for the basics of life.
> change your thermostat setting to 78°

My thermostat is set to 77° year round. It stays comfortable inside my house here in NTx near DFW. The temperature varies between 76-78° all day long. I have found that the AC runs about 20-30 minutes to get that 2° drop every other hour or so and it is pretty easy to achieve no matter the outside temperature.

If I still lived near Houston with the higher humidity and all the general suck I would probably do it differently but up here this works great. I can work outside in the heat and humidity, step inside for a break every hour or so and go back outside and it feels like I stepped into a cave while I'm inside.
instanceof is but one possible use case. Arguably the most useful part of pattern matching is inside switch expressions, and there is an equivalence between the Visitor pattern and this, but the latter is much more readable and maintainable. Sure, the visitor pattern is not that often used, but in certain niches that make use of ASTs often it is pretty much a must.
> but I believe languages must have only one (or two) concise way to to things.

Java has none.
Some of this is a consequence of how typescript works - it carries any structural constraints it can find forward in an advisory capacity, because it is somewhat decoupled from the quite-dynamic runtime behavior of the javascript engine.

It isn't even block-based scoping in the flow analysis above - if in your block there was the code foo = 1; the typescript engine would then expect that foo will behave like a Number at runtime.

I haven't dived in deep enough, but I suspect foo could even have different structural type information within the same expression, e.g. a ternary (typeof foo === 'string') ? something(foo) : somethingelse(foo)
Canadian tech employers have been completely myopic for decades, only willing to compete in salary against other local tech employers, while anyone who's actually any good can make 2x+ within a 3 hour drive south. This resulted in a ton of brain drain in the form of people physically moving out of Canada and into the US. (I was one of those people who were brain drained away.)

Now people can make 2x+ within the comfort of their own homes, making it even easier for US tech companies to brain drain talent away from Canadian companies. Will that finally force them to change their ways or are they going to keep scraping the bottom of the ever depleting barrel?

I honestly don't have a very positive outlook given the history here, but would love to be proven wrong.
Strict keto is pretty extreme (in retrospect), but it did wonders teaching me how much I need to eat, when I need to eat, and what I should be eating. Recommended!

I eat something closer to a low-carb diet now (<100 net carbs) a day, and am super happy with it. I naturally gravitate away from consuming carb-intensive meals on a regular basis unless it is for a specific reason. I still eat and enjoy things like pasta and chips, but they no longer have the same pull they used to.
That’s called dual intent.
Well either way your comment was glib and seems to completely ignore the specifics of which industries I mentioned.

I didn't say all of entertainment. I was very specific about the subsection of the industry.

Outside of DWA, WDAS and Pixar, the majority of animation and VFX work for feature and TV has moved to Canada or Australia.

Yes there are bigger entertainment industries in the US. That wasn't what I said, and you're getting hung up on some pedantic nonsense that is fully of your own creation.
Just do a carnivore / zerocarb diet, that's actually healthy (none of that liquid diet / powder nonsense).

Lots of people doing it are doing it for the same reasons as you, so you'll find support if you need it.
You don't think USDT holders have been scrambling to exit USDT over the last few days? Actually the sensible ones started cashing out around 1-2 months ago. You say that they have "not been remotely tested?" How are you quantifying that claim?
The classic, "if you're prepared and it doesn't happen, it looks wasteful" reason. Or even if it doesn't happen, because you were prepared and released the stockpile, folks don't realize that's the reason. So prep for some politician to cut it.
is that really a conspiracy theory though? it is fairly clear what the ultimate goals the US and Russia have for each other are - Russia wants the US out of the picture so they can have free reign in Europe, and the US wants Russia broken down into two dozen irrelevant ethnostates they'll get to indirectly control

When I say mothers are not always available that was a polite way of saying mothers sometimes die during childbirth. A gross number in America but childbirth is dangerous even in the best circumstances. It is a leading cause of death among young women in the US.

>So while you might think formula from Germany or The Netherlands is safe enough for your child (formula available in Europe tends to meet or exceed the FDA's nutritional requirements, but not the labeling requirements.) the FDA will not let you have it because it has not reviewed and approved the label or inspected the production facilities overseas. Reasonable people can debate whether this is a reasonable policy in normal times, but in the current mess this sort of rule undermines the health and development of the infants the FDA purports to protect.

Is this even a debate about whether or not it is a reasonable policy? Why would you allow uninspected products to feed your most vulnerable population? Now, I understand the nuance of "well we're in a shortage, so we should allow it temporarily." But think about it from a security perspective: you'd still be exposing babies to uninspected food products. Any America-hating entity could capitalize on this attack vector, if they knew we would bypass our security controls. Is it likely? I don't know, but I do know that suspending your security in response to a crisis is dangerous.
Well, yeah, it is weird at first. But once you think about it, it is not unintuitive: if the light was just gone, that would be wrong, too, right? Also, energy == mass, so of course, it is equivalent to throw mass into a black hole or energy. The longer I think about it, the more it is mass that is the weird thing. What is mass? Something like frozen energy...
PHP => Laravel/Symfony, Python => Django, Ruby => Rails

You just can't go wrong with one of these 3 above. Boring. Tested. Server side web pages

All the 3 above also have great communities, support, documentation and above all, plenty of experienced talent over the years. These are battle tested.
The examples you gave are not language features, are frameworks/libraries... not the discussion. (the only exception I can see is the "logging API", but this is debatable)
That's sort of the issue with informal groups and protests. Anybody can show up, and they may or may not be rejected by the crowd at large. When the loonies are kicked out, it doesn't make the news. A left-leaning example of this is when Boogaloo Boys participate in Black Lives Matter protests. I'm not saying they're equally common, but the concept is the same.
Can you elaborate? I’ve ran Prometheus at some scale and it’s performed fine.
It is! Our family of 4 generally goes out on Friday; as a sign of change last night we decided to order out, but eat at home. What would be $80, was now $45. (getting rid of the 4 drinks, appetizer, and ample server tip).

I have to imagine consumers will become tired of the cost increases - we put up with it a few months, and decided "no".

Interesting: I assumed Texas wasn't connected to the national grid because they hate the Federal govt (I remember Texas' Rick Perry saying he wanted to abolish the Dept of Energy.) But Michael Lee says it's because they can move faster in building transmission lines for wind energy. No idea if this is true.
If you mean N-acetyl cysteine, it's a glutathione precursor. Glutathione is an important antioxidant critical to liver function, among other things.

Milk thistle (as a supplement) is a popular glutathione precursor. There are others but I don't remember them because milk thistle worked for me, so that's what I used.

You don't need to seem much to realize the movie is sick and if you watched it and didn't think it was sick then there's something wrong with you.
A blanket ban would be I think. Having a blanket ban demonstrates that you are judging transgender people on their transgender status alone, rather than making an evidence-based assessment of whether a particular athlete has an unfair advantage.

The International Olympic Committee, for example, has a framework for precisely this (you can read it here, it's pretty easy going: https://stillmed.olympics.com/media/Documents/News/2021/11/I... ) and I think it demonstrates really well that they've put a good amount of thought into being fair.

I think you'd have a hard time saying that the IOC framework is discrimination.
Their are trillions of microorganisms on and in the human body (10^13), and their are a several billion humans (10^10), so there are more than 10^23 living organisms just taking into account humans and their bacterial biomes.

That doesn't include the several billion other fauna, or the unquantifable number of microorganisms living on/in them or in the water and soil. For example, a liter of water contains a million phytoplankton, half a million zooplankton, and over a billion bacteria. The ocean contains about 10^40 liters, which comes out to over 10^50 living organisms just in terms of bacteria, not including higher-order life forms (or non-living self-organizing organic constructs like viruses).

If anything, you are grossly understating the amount of living organisms currently alive.
Plus, if it does happen, but the other party is in charge, they take all of the credit.
> So this is a direct translation to standard libertarian philosophy. You can choose your own terms but you can't force your preferred terms on others - you have to negotiate a contract that's mutually acceptable and then that contract needs to be enforced. RA is a kind of technologically enforced contract [..] Some service Y won't trade with me unless X will do Z (typically enforcing some sort of agreement e.g. anti-cheat or license).

What can I say but thank you - you've distilled the problems with the TPM much better than I have. What you describe is exactly what I fear. Look at how these contracts are "negotiated" today - the consumer either accepts, or goes to live in the woods ("I'm afraid that actually service Y might be most services".)

And the terms are one-sided at best, usually curtailing a bunch of important rights (mandatory arbitration, bans on publishing benchmarks, anti-reverse-engineering or indeed any kind of in-depth examination of functionality, such as when Facebook barred researches from gathering data from volunteers on what ads they were showing, bans on scraping publicly-accessible data - good luck comparing prices,.. you get the picture)

So what kind of contracts do you think we'll negotiate, without even the thin pretense of a fair legal system protecting us, and when "our" machines enforce their unbreakable chains?

If I'm being charitable, I'd put the odds that the overall effect of this expansion of contract law will be to our benefit as "slim".
You really could do away with the arrogance.
That is one explanation for the phenomenon, but I was actually referring to the sibling comment's note about many applicants being unable to code fizzbuzz during on-site interviews (if you haven't read it, then I encourage you to read through the blog post that first, I think, brought the issue to many people's attention; https://blog.codinghorror.com/why-cant-programmers-program/).
Sure, but a hammer is both simpler and much more reliable than a phone. My point is that it is meaningless to compare items with completely different functions (I would say apples and oranges, but it is more like apples and rocks).

I was almost with you up until the end then I had to just shake my head. I mean, it's readable syntax and doesn't require some crazy new sigils or operators, it's "fine" though I'm also shaking my head at the scope rules for these bindings. Similarly I'm ok with the "fine" syntax of Optional, and being explicit with my Optional.orElse()'s, rather than introducing an 'elvis operator' or some bikeshedded derivative. Though I wouldn't mind such things -- I'm glad Java keeps evolving useful things anyway, but it does wear on you (or at least me) to have to speak them (or even to tell your IDE to speak them on your behalf) as if your mouth was full of sand or to read them as if they're a high school student's essay obviously padded to reach some word count minimum.

If I came across this new thing organically, I could go "ah, neat, we have that now" and not necessarily need to go look up the JEP (meanwhile Python's PEP 636 had me going wtf) -- though over time I'd expect to come across it in a negative context where the original programmer made a scope mistake because they didn't read the JEPs, or because they tried to make a change without their IDE's assistance where through various means it could have pointed out shadowing or scope concerns, that I now have to fix.

It's in no minor part thanks to Java's verbosity that the overall Java ecosystem is so verbose. Having mostly non-confusing syntax whose meaning you can mostly guess at on first exposure is nice, yes, but isn't so helpful for the more important aspect of having non-confusing programs. For that you really want a more concise and tasteful language over a verbose one. Anyway, I've found that for anything non-trivial about the program itself, I'm going to need an IDE because the meat of the thing is going to be verbosely spread out in many places (sometimes for good reasons, at least in the Java world). Sure, after I acquire the mountain of (program) context, I can review small changes even on paper printouts, but that's true of most anything.

Verbosity is not a good property for a language to have in general -- Java itself admits this, otherwise we wouldn't have so many shortcuts in syntax like omitting this, or java 7's diamond operator or try-with-resources or catching multiple exceptions or for-each syntax, or java 8's lambdas and special syntax for simple lambdas, or java 9's var, or... And of course, almost always in some other more concise language a concept is much clearer. There's a reason pseudo-code isn't written to look like Java.

You're not alone. I don't like this level of abuse of power, either. I don't miss Facebook, and I see that it is useful in some ways. I'd prefer government regulation with teeth, assuming the government doing the regulating is not abusing its power. That takes continuous effort by all of us. It's messy, and that's okay.

> We challenge their expectations by asking to be addressed in a way that goes against their ideas of what gender, at its core, means to them.

Nope, you're asking for a special treatment in an environment where 99.9% of people don't care how you want to be called. Not because they hate you -- it's because they're not there to fight for your rights.

My name has at least 12 different ways to be pronounced in my country -- most of them in a semi-mocking manner, too -- and at one point I simply stopped caring even if I didn't like being called as some people do. Felt like pissing against the wind and I figured I'm not going to waste my time arguing with people whose only goal is to tease. They give up literally seconds later when ignored.

I feel that some trans people are just barking up the wrong tree at the wrong time. in a normal social setting -- say, in a restaurant, or a cafe in the park -- people are there to socialize or network. Not to fight the good fight against trans people being harmed.

Of course I'm not even touching on the psychopaths who would pursue and physically harm you. I'm addressing the problem of people bringing the issues that are close to their hearts in a social setting where people don't care and are looking negatively at the idea of forcing that discussion right there and then.

And I feel that point of view is very often missed by people who feel they have to fight for various social justice causes.
> op made no value judgement as opposed to you

Of course they did make a value judgement, it's them qualifying whatever TOS on a bunch of depraved porn ridden websites in the realm of the "reasonable". Reddit made no such statement at first place anyway...
Reason is correct that tariffs on Canada, pushed by Abbott, helped exacerbate the baby formula problem.

This is what happens when heirs and corporations gain too much power. When they are not responsive to working people or the government. Not only are they unresponsive to the government, they buy the government, and get rulings like Citizens United to buy the government even more.

All of this is the result of what Reason has been pushing forever. They wanted to prevent government from dealing with Abbott, and the result is these tariffs and the baby formula breakdown. The market is incapable of working due to the policies of Reason. It's like the bread shortages in the USSR after the failure of Khruschev's Virgin Lands program. Different mechanisms but same result.
Varies greatly from country to country.
