I do not understand your comment.

> In no other case is a human being, living or dead, legally required to give up their organs, bodily fluids, or other part of themselves, nor to literally risk their lives, for another human being.

In many other cases are humans legally required to literally risk their lives for another human being. Would you like me to give you examples?

> Corpses have more bodily autonomy than women after Dobbs.

I guess this is something US specific?

You have not addressed anything in the comment you're replying to. I think the right to abortion is the less bad of the two options, but I can also understand the people who say that abortion is murder. Can't you?
"Strong industrial policy" comes in many forms. The onw that conflicts with free trade tend to create low added value, high capital intensive "also run" companies that benefit no one.

High tech industry requires both a policy that allows them and access to the international market, for both buying and selling.

yeaaah, I used to hold this view and drove a team - hard - to essentially pull apart a monorepo into different components with clear contract boundaries. It was by far one of my greatest errors in professional judgement.

at the risk of coming up with a contrived example: let's say you own a service that need to deserialize a datetime in a request in a format you don't currently support. assuming you own the stack, you need to a) update your date library b) update your webserver stack c) possibly update an intermediate webserver stack that includes primitives like logging, telemetry, tracing, auth, service discovery and d) your actual service.

If a->d are all independent, separate components, you have to orchestrate those changes through 4 separate repositories. And god forbid something you did at the lowest point in the stack is completely unworkable higher up.

There's all sorts of rocket science you could do to orchestrate these changes, but it ends up being contrived and edgecasey.

Most of the pain from monorepos can also be addressed with a dash of rocketscience (see:bazel), but the end model tends to have

a) have an easier mental model for the user

b) allow for consolidation of infrastructure work. Ie, your build/ci/language tooling teams can focus their efforts on one place

c) can coordinate changes across the entire stack within one field of view

d) can coral some of the worst, disparate instincts of a growing engineering org (ie, tons of teams optimizing for local maximas without internalizing knock-on effects).

e) fewer weird edgecases.
To the original poster:

I understand what has happened, but in the future try to take better care of your online presence. To remain anonymous, it's essential to create a completely different username each time you signup to a website. That way, it becomes much harder to track you across the web. In addition to that, some people also use VPN to mask their IP. Some also use different or anonymous email addresses.

For damage control, I'd advise you to delete accounts that can be deleted. If you prefer create a new one but using the above mentioned safety practices.
It sounds like it's working well for the streamers too. If they can't figure out where the money should go, just don't send it along.

They're private corporations with the privilege to create money. They should not also enjoy the privilege of being absolved of problems caused by their excesses.

Crypto should certainly not get government bailouts.
There's a great way to work in software without hurting for money: stop giving away labor for free.

>Endgame is decentralizing the internet and perhaps non-internet protocols.

The internet was always decentralized. That's literally the entire point of TCP/IP. The web, however, is indeed being centralized; and crypto is at the forefront of that. For all the talk of "democratizing finance", the reality is that all of these web3 proponents have no interest in anything beyond enriching themselves by reinventing the existing centralized banking system minus all that pesky regulation.

Likewise. My harshness was inappropriate but a personal attack in response to a person punishing people unjustly and bragging about it is warranted. I was not responding to a technical argument but to the intent of the person. Like you called me out I was calling the original commenter out on their treatment of others.
In practice, when GDP rises significantly, average standard of living rises as well. Saudi Arabia's GDP per capita is $20k. Niger's GDP per capita is $565. I think that Niger and Saudi Arabia's living standards are about on par with other countries for those per-capita GDPs.
I think it's okay to use thought-terminating cliches on yourself if you understand what you are telling your subconscious and why.

E.g. politics isn't going my way this year? What can I do? Vote? Protest? Strike? Donate? I will certainly vote. I don't feel like doing anything else. Everything else has to fall under "I'm doing what I can for now." or "Yeah life just sucks huh" or something.

Then I'm free to put that thought back down for a while.

Why wouldn't it be? Git itself is already decentralized, the main advantage of github is that it lets you discover/follow other projects. With activitypub, you could have people hosting their own servers (or outsourcing to someone like codeberg) and you could follow others no matter where they are.
Are you really sure about that? Southern Europe is not Germany, it doesn't have that famous high quality universal healthcare. Not even countries such as Italy are able to guarantee consistent quality - what you get in southern Italy will resemble Mexico or Thailand much more than Germany. Real estate costs a lot there compared to the US, and finding well paid work (or any work at all) is much harder. Anything you heard about EU public transit mostly doesn't apply in the south, you will need a car; but the roads aren't prepared for today's amount of traffic, and there's not enough money for maintenance nor construction.
> 2 hours of free time for yourself every day is not bad.

Two hours of free time to yourself is horrible. The fact that it's expected doesn't change that it's a horrible answer.

We need to reduce the amount of time we spend at work. Ironically, the best way to do that is to spend your early years working 24/7 to try to get wealthy enough that you can spend 4 hours a day doing meaningful work.

And of course the competition from those platforms--as well as other streaming platforms--means that there are a lot fewer art house or back catalog theatres than there used to be. So what "long tail" theatres did exist, mostly in large cities, mostly don't any longer which means theatres are more about blockbuster content than ever.

Bitcoin is ridiculously volatile—this is the third time it's lost 70% of its value—but it's still more than twice US$10k. That was its low price in May 02020, the first year of the pandemic, which was its all-time high in June 02019. Maybe it'll go to US$10k or US$5k again. I don't share Gottsegen's confidence that the numbers "will almost certainly go up again". They certainly could, but there's no fundamental reason they must.

It would be great if we could, as Gottsegen says, shake the fraudsters out of the ecosystem—and I'd add the gamblers, too—leaving only the people who are using it as a currency, but I don't see that happening anytime soon. Certainly if the numbers go up again they'll be back.

This is not crypto's first crash, and won't be its last. From early 2018, ETH dropped 94%. The current price is about fifteen times higher than it was at the bottom of the 2018 bear market.

So either you can recover when hype is your only asset, or hype isn't crypto's only asset.

> You can do this in any language that has operator overloading, right?

The thing is that language and standard library designers don't do that.

And if you are not hellbent on creating your own collection library and using it everywhere, even when interfacing with system functions that don't understand it you pretty much have no way of swapping out your data structures without carefully replacing all lines that access them.

Scala standard collection library designers are the only ones I know of that actually went through the trouble of making this for us.
While these expectations are probably false, some people do think that it should be bailed out by the government. I mean, stupidity has no bounds.

A much better scenario from my experience, given that not everyone is on the last version anyway.
Citation, please. This is a grandiose claim.
You make it sound as if there's something wrong with that?

As you point out, it's obvious none of the claims are supported by evidence, and there is no appeal to authority ("this is who I am"), which qualifies this as an opinion, and should be taken as such.

Which means that any reasonable person should, before they make their own opinion, look for evidence for or contradictions to the posted opinion, and use that to make a more informed opinion.

Now, the fact that a majority of internet readers are not reasonable is where we should be worried, not about someone sharing their opinion in a modern day bar.

(Interestingly, the fact that those same people never thought to critically look at "official" news on TV/newspapers is a symptom of the same problem before the internet.)
It's hard to tell for sure, but the evidence suggests that several tens of millions of people survive on Bitcoin remittances from their family members abroad.
I think you should read the article. The title is exactly what it outlines. The article is basically a report of what various public health researchers are speaking on the issue. These people actually study the consequences of abortion restrictions and its impacts on society. There is no better way to understand the most up to date scientific evidence, than directly from the researchers.

First-to-file doesn't mean what I think you think it means.

Prior art, whether from another patent or from some other source, will still establish that the applicant is not an inventor and not eligible for a patent.

First-to-file (FTT) only differs from first-to-invent (FTI) when there is an "interference". That's when two or more separate parties are simultaneously applying for patents on the same invention.

Under FTI your priority date was the date you conceived the invention if you then worked diligently toward reducing the idea to practice up until you filed your patent application. If you stopped working diligently on reducing the idea to practice and then resumed it, the date you resumed became your new priority date.

What counts as a break in working toward reduction to practice sufficient to reset your priority date? How much documentation do you need to prove you were working continuously on it from your claimed priority date?

Figuring all that out can be expensive and time consuming and often gives results that seem wrong. It's almost random whether the priority date by this method actually matches who seems to morally most deserve the patent.

FTF gives priority to whoever files first. It doesn't produce any worse outcome than FTI and saves a lot of time and money for both the patent office and applicants.
> This is perhaps too big a burden on a user. Some might say they rather not have the compositionality unless it's guaranteed to be correct.

I think this is it. Or rather, I think to some people, myself included, compositionality should imply correctness. If you /can/ compose things, but the result is wrong, can you really say that you've got composition?

How useful it is really to be able to plug in your own types in other peoples libraries if you have to trace through the execution of that library, figure out which libraries they transitively use, to ensure that all of your instantiations are sound? How do you even test this properly?

It's a really hard problem, and from what I can tell, Julia gives you no tools to deal with this.

I think you're doing everything right. I assume that moving to confidentiality-friendly platforms to chat about sensitive topics also implies moving away from wide-area social media in general, and deleting your accounts — if not, that's a step you should take too.

When you get off a platform to which you've contributed anything with personal opinions in it, you should obfuscate whatever you've written there before deleting it. Meaning, fill the text box with garbage, then delete it, then delete your account. There used to be a plugin that let you do this automatically on Reddit, I don't know if there still is, but it wouldn't be too hard to script either.

Hypocritically on my part, HN does not support editing or deleting your old content. It's hard to avoid leaving any trace of yourself online; people want to talk to each other. I try to get around this by rotating user accounts, but I'm sure it's not enough.

Really, none of it is really going to be enough when it actually happens, and we should just be ready for that.

The only thing I can think of that would prevent a social credit system from being instituted is if people in power decided it was in their own best interest not to allow such a system. I suppose the ways to do that would either be to pay them more than other lobbyists, or to make it in their own best interest, i.e. let them know the danger it poses to us is also a danger to them. Given that, I wonder if, paradoxically, the whole cancel culture business is acting as a prophylactic against a social credit system, in that it makes legislators feel less invulnerable.
That's just for stablecoins backed by off-chain assets.
There are several correctness issues lurking about in virtually all software. That part of the critique is uninteresting to me. If I want to pull up a blog post about several correctness issues in any programming language, I bet I could.

The way you store your source code doesn't have much to do with how your system is deployed. It's the same way you can have a closet in which you store clothing for many purposes; clothing for cold weather, clothing for hot weather, clothing for formal occasions, clothing for specific recreational activities, et cetera. You can store code for different purposes in the same source tree. You can deploy something that is built from just one part of the source tree.
If abortion is murder, then is refusing to donate your kidney when someone else needs it to live also murder?

Is refusing to donate blood, bone marrow, etc, murder?

Is not mandating the donation of viable organs after death murder?

None of these things are required of people, in the name of bodily autonomy. None of these inactions are considered murder. And yet you expect women to donate their bodies for 9 months to something that is not yet a person, and take the very, very real risk of injury, permanent disability, or death, and the near-certainty that their bodies will never be the same again, to support what you call a human life.

The logic does not follow. It does not matter whether life begins at conception, at first heartbeat, at differentiated brain development, or at birth: In no case other than pregnancy is a human being societally expected or legally required to give even a part of their body to keep another human being alive, regardless of how safe the procedure may be.

The other problem with increased complexity is that the more intricate your mechanism is, the more prone to failure due to wear or contamination it becomes. A security measure is only as good as it can remain usable. As a locksmith for working in the industry for 25 years, I've seen a lot of high security designs come and go, and the stuff that sticks is the stuff that's simple and reliable. The fundamental fact of locks and security is that people just don't pick locks much. The vast overwhelming majority of unauthorized accesses are via an acquired key or via bypass attacks on other aspects of the locking hardware than the keyed cylinder.

To put it bluntly, all these fancy pick-proof designs people are coming up with have zero real world utility and are just toys for locksport enthusiasts to play with.

EDIT: and really, I'd say all the patent discussion is moot. A patent is only useful if there's a market for your product. This product has design shortcomings that render it a non-starter for most applications, i.e. no master keying capacity, which makes it useless in any institutional setting, and a design necessity of using critical precision parts that won't handle outdoor exposure well, and a physical size that makes it incompatible with even the largest north american cylinder format. This is a product without a profitable customer base.

Python3 is a good example of what happens when you represent strings as an index of code points. I always found that a bit ironic in that one of the major justifications for python3 was to improve Unicode. In the end it failed to do that because of this.
