The round was 750m, la Caisse invested 150 millions.

What's absolutely bunkers is that no major Quebec news sites are talking about this news this morning. La Presse, Journal de Montreal, TVA, nothing. (TVA is mentioning that the crypto market is down and casually mention la Caisse investment down in the article, but it's hardly an important news)
Radio-Canada did make a major investigation into this investment few weeks ago (how timely!) but has yet to update it

What definition of pornography are you operating on out of interest?
> No, that's a requirement on most business cases, my comment stated 'complex and dynamic web apps'. Re-rendering the whole page everytime the user checks a box or clicks a button just to replace some fields in a whole page is (a) terrible UX, (b) hard to track the state between page refresh, (c) wrong practice and (d) bad performance.

You can have the backend render partials and only send the affected part. This has been widely in use and battle-tested for about two decades in .NET WebForms, PJAX, Rails Turbolinks and other technologies.

Also, wether the app does this or that is completely orthogonal to how you build it. You don't need tho share code with the backend.

> Sure, I should setup a complex and huge dependency for just one of the many problems I highlighted. What a great idea

Except for cases where the team doesn't know anything other than JS, using this is significantly simpler than forcing the whole backend to be in JS. Also, there are several other options.

Let's learn D game programming development (2021) [video]
It's essentially the same issue as with various types of… bad content… on other platforms like YouTube. There's so much uploaded all the time that nothing is reviewed by humans until it's already out there. It's just that with porn sites, sexual content isn't forbidden by the terms of service, so taking down nonconsensual sexual content requires disputing the nonconsensual part, not the sexual part. And obviously that's a much more sensitive problem than the things e.g. YouTube generally gets criticism for.

It's a tricky issue. I think the measures they've announced to verify identities when uploading are probably the biggest thing they could do without a complete change of business model.
Like any other business: if you're profiting off a market, you need to recognize your responsibility to maintaining the health and ethics of that market.

If you allow user contributions, you now own the responsibility of moderating it. Saying "I'm just a platform" can not be an excuse anymore. Not once you start making coin from it. You're not just a platform, you're a market.

And you're right, could have been Facebook or YouTube, and they'd be just as responsible. Except the content can't and won't last on those platforms, because they explicitly prevent it.

I'm sorry: If you're profiting from something, you are now responsible. The world of pornography streaming sites allowing free mostly unmoderated upload of content is just a bit insane.
Not always. Consider this 'test.cpp' example:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

struct a_struct {
char a[1];
char b[2];

a_struct() {
strcpy(a, "");
strcpy(b, "b");
}
} x;

int main() {
printf("before:\n");
printf("a : '%s'\n", x.a);
printf("b : '%s'\n", x.b);

char *c = &1[x.a];
*c = 'c';

printf("after:\n");
printf("a : '%s'\n", x.a);
printf("b : '%s'\n", x.b); //b is now corrupt
}

Compile and running this code:

C:\temp>g++ test.cpp
C:\temp>a.exe
before:
a : ''
b : 'b'
after:
a : ''
b : 'c'

I don't know if something is missing from this article or if I have a very restrictive view of friendship. For example, when I was in college, there were a few people with which I talked pretty much everyday, had lunch with them, went to class with them. However, I don't really consider them my friends. They were a bit more like "colleagues". We never saw each others outside of college, and spending time with them doesn't fill me with energy like when I spend time with my friends. There are lots of things that they don't "get" if I talk about them, not as in "understand" but as in "get" on a fundamental level.

Following the framework of the article, either "attention" was missing, or something is missing from the article. In French we have an expression, "atomes crochus", which would be equivalent to "chemistry" in English. Without that, friendship isn't really possible for me, I'll always get "stuck" only at a certain level with those people. There's no mention of chemistry at all in this article. I get that it's a bit unfair, you can't decide to have good chemistry with someone, but at least for me that's how things are.
Maybe some kind of circle of trust? I would trust reviews written by my contacts more than internet randos. People they know a little less, and beyond that not really at all.

I think the problem is that if you make it into a business it messes up all the incentives, but if you don't make it a business there isn't an incentive to put time and effort in to combat spam, lawsuits, and so on. Maybe a big open source undertaking, like Wikipedia but with reviews?

I can't judge on your numbers but just to point out that we were comparing gasoline plants + EV vs gasoline cars and I feel that the discussion is switching into NE plants + EV vs gasoline cars.

I also think that a lot of steel+copper+lithium and others are not taken into the equation to replace cars and manufacture more plants. Steel particularly consumes a lot of energy to produce. Uranium shortages are going to become a thing too especially with new demand from China.

Also I disagree with your optimism on french nuclear and renewable, having worked there and having friends working in EDF and also following various debates, political decisions, and news flow, we went from quite optimistic a few years back to more and more pessimistic about the whole thing. Nobody seems to want a nuclear plant, or a solar/wind power field next to their home. And the competency for nuclear has retired or seems to be going to China or elsewhere for counseling now.
Nope.

Eh, but Python isn't designed to be fast. In fact, you might say Python is designed to be slow (it's not, but that's a fun way to look at it) because it does so much. If you don't want to have the kind of runtime flexibility that Python has, then arguably you should have better performance to show for it - Python is planning on finding ~40% speed ups in the coming year.

That said, I don't know what the goals of this language are, and bluntly, perf isn't everything ;)

Rachel sent the information when she had it, but the videos were often uploaded in tiny clips that she found impossible to track. Each time one was taken down, more appeared.

This is where Pornhub should be sued. There is no recourse for victims if things like this can be re-uploaded.

I clicked expecting to see some science-based research about what results in good friendships. Instead I found an opinion based listicle. Not necessarily a bad article for provoking thought, but definitely more opinion than fact.

I recently went to cross cultural a meetup where friendship was the topic of discussion. One thing I realized is that people struggle to agree on a definition of friendship. There's an especially noticeable divide between individualist and collectivist cultures.

My own definition of a friend is "someone with whom I have shared, positive experiences". But I do find that there's a difference between fast-friends, and long lasting, deep friendships. The six things mentioned in this article are definitely good things to consider if you want to develop long lasting friendships, but they're also not fixed formulas.

> "Maps is how I usually search for e.g. plumbers."

I used to search for tradespeople in this way, but then I realised there's a big industry of while-labelled SEO-friendly companies which register 100s or 1000s of names like "<location> plumber" or "<location> roofer" each with a pin on the map at <location>. When you contact them you go to a call centre 100s or 1000s of miles away who know nothing about your area, they outsource the actual work to gig workers, and when they start getting negative reviews that instance just disappears.

My golly you're right, why do we bother with laws at all?
No reason to have alcohol in a "civilized society" either.

People aren't logic automata and trying to make rules that treat a population as such will always end up in the way that prohibition did. You should punish/sanction very harmful expression of base-instincts of humans, but criminalizing all of those that appear even somewhat undesirable will just make the prison problem even worse.
Perhaps it's time to change pornography laws.

Requiring a license for the creation/distribution of pornography where the actor isn't the person creating/distributing seems like a good path. Allows people to send each other their own nudes and create onlyfans of themselves but not a lot else. If independent creators wanted to get licensed then they could.

> Then the industry started figuring out that the virtual DOM was kind of a scam from a performance standpoint

Could you elaborate?

Not a frontend guy but my understanding was that the virtual DOM is what's necessary to enable a simplified model where you can code as if your entire view was rerendered from scratch when there's a change.

Mutating the DOM only where and when you need to in a handcrafted fashion is always going to be faster, it's just not scalable, I guess.

So, in that context the virtual DOM is not really a scam. Not sure in what sense it is? Was it claimed to be performing better than it does?
I mean with that volatility idk what kind of usage it can get besides pure speculation.

Suspect if they're getting more explanatory power from which part of the world their family originated from than any kind of indicator of actual employment history, it's because they either don't have enough usable employment history data or they badly misspecified the employment history indicators.

Is self-identification really a thing? Identity seems more of a social artifact, emerging naturally from the collective dynamic.
Interesting, thanks. Many investors have much of their equity investments in ETFs such as SPY for diversification, as they should. Could you allow the user to specify SPY as an investment? Since you have sensitivities for individual stocks, they could be aggregated to create a sensitivity for the S&P 500.

If SPY is allowed as an investment, people could tinker by adding individual stocks to their portfolio to change their exposures. For example, if SPY is negatively affected by oil price rises, add a stock such as XOM to reduce this exposure.
>Also, none of my questions mattered, by virtue of being a western immigrant and expecting to look for a job from 3-6 months I’m somehow at risk of long term unemployment.

I wonder if the underlying cause is "having savings and not needing a job to have a comfortable living." May also tie into how easily or not you can get government support. The more desperate you are the more likely you'll settle for any job as quickly as possible.

While I completely agree with you (and also think that the grandparent post was a bit inflamatory), the argument here is not that newer technologies aren't better. The argument is that the techniques themselves were "forgotten" and are now being rediscovered.

This is easily verifiable by people claiming that the term "Server Side Rendering" can't be retroactively applied, even though it unambiguously means what PHP used to do.

I personally enjoy both the old and new techniques, and I think it's a natural progression to use those new frameworks for also rendering on the server. Not only because of code-sharing, but because I think they're better than old templating engines.
> I am confused as how this is a story about crypto and not story about Celsius.

Because it's a relatively small eco system and everything is tied together. As soon as one domino is falling the whole eco system follows.

And look at the graph of the top 20 cryptos, they all follow the exact same graph as BTC. Anything bad happening at a relatively large scale to BTC = BTC goes down = the whole crypto world panics = they all go down

That's the regulation I mentioned. I don't know these banks but would guess it's because they were insured. In the US and the EU all banks have to be insured to a degree. That's not necessarily true elsewhere, people around the world regularly do lose money in bank defaults. And entire countries can go bankrupt too, because the system ultimately has no failsafe. People in more stable countries like to dismiss that but depending on where you're from you can find examples of the entire nation losing practically everything only a few decades ago.

Of course you could do the same with companies like Celsius and insure and regulate them better, but in the end customers are paying for it, it doesn't come free. Also big banks do still fail, are you aware how much money has been paid for bank bailouts just in the past decades? The thing is many don't notice they're paying for it, because they don't understand where the money comes from.

My argument is that Celsius would never have gotten as big if the customers knew what happens with their money. This business model shouldn't even be legal, same as what many more traditional banks are involved in. In fact, often it isn't legal in the first place even according to current regulation. But once they get to a certain size, laws don't apply to them as they apply to the rest of us. This is a problem, regulation is clearly not working properly in the banking sector.
actually, this is good for Bitcoin
This is one of those things where it's very general.

The value of a national currency is a reflection of the rest of the world's confidence in that nation to meet its obligations. The money is essentially a marker for future goods and services.

The US military's reason for being is to protect the US from other nations, thereby keeping the US's resources available for its own use, its citizens capable of performing services, etc. It is also used to secure US interests abroad. Having its current resources, a populace capable of processing those resources, and the ability to acquire more is the reason the rest of the world is confident in our ability to provide future goods and services. A marker for US resources is a solid bet. That marker is called the US Dollar. Ergo, the military's job is to secure the dollar.

That's the rough train of thought that leads you to claiming that every dollar spent on defense is a dollar spent on defending the dollar.
