It's interesting that you bring up the Statue of Liberty. In Japanese she is called "自由の女神", "Jiyuu no Megami" which can be translated as "Goddess of Freedom". So future anthropologists with a limited snapshot of Japanese culture could find a picture of the Statue of Liberty captioned in Japanese, and conclude she was explicitly considered a goddess or divine spirit of sorts.

I think it's worth pointing out, too, the Statue of Liberty is one of the icons of what scholars of religious studies call the "American Civil Religion". In terms of 1700s liberalism, she carries a torch, a "sacred fire" of liberty (I get vibes of prometheus, or the raven who brought down the sun) from France where the first massive liberal revolution took place, to America, home of the second revolutionary liberal state.

I think American Civil Religion is about the tradition and growth of the US "distro" of liberalism. Another major landmark, the Temple of Abraham Lincoln gives us an ascended figure from a story of how liberalism is supposed to have beaten the deeply contradictory institution of slavery that inhabited it. Mt. Rushmore immortalizes 4 founding fathers, etc.
Unfortunately this thinking applies to many places in the US when it comes to weather and climate disasters.

Midwest river flooding, hurricanes all through the gulf coast, rising sea levels, tornadoes, New York was flooded from a hurricane, and Texas was pretty ravaged by some cold weather recently.

What place is so perfect for people to live in that doesn't face any challenges from climate change?

How did you come to this conclusion? Seems like it must be working for them, because most of them are using nightly out of choice.

Plus it’s a service to the community. Their everyday testing helps make the stable releases better. Imagine if no one used nightly - that would be much worse.
I love this post. You've managed to describe my current frustration, when working with people that score low in those categories.

> So what goes at the beginning of their list and who is going to develop and maintain the equivalent open source software?

The beginning is any SaaS that started being used in the last 2-3 years. The immediate solution might just be going back to what they had before, if the top priority is privacy.

As far as open source, the existing companies could often be contracted, but if they don't want to open up then the government can put out bids or build a team. If entire countries want to buy something, they can make a market. And that's assuming there isn't already open source software that can do the job, because there often will be.

And as a European, I'm very glad that's the case. I know, we're still not close to compliance with GDPR, but it has changed the privacy discussion more than any other part.
This year seems the worst we've ever seen in our parts of Eastern Australia - we've also had some of the worst ever floods thanks to La Nina (and climate change), so that's more water than ever.

> The EU hasn’t shaken off their roots in monarchy.

I know, right. I mean obviously the world's most famous royal family (our British one) isn't really a monarchy so that doesn't count. And they certainly don't get previews and vetos on our laws, or given hundreds of millions from the licence fees for offshore wind farms, or own a notable percentage of the land.

As for GDPR, compliance is pretty straightforward provided you aren't being shady to begin with.

And the new UK proposals are much worse and if they go through as they stand will be a nightmare for anyone serving UK visitors.

XSLT is wildly more than a templating engine. It can (and has) been used to e.g. specify a protocol and generate software based on it. See XCB for an example. With a sufficiently large corpus you can run queries on XML and generate arbitrary media.

As with most overbearingly flexible technology, it's an incredible pain in the ass to use efficiently, and XSLT processors tend to be plagued with complexity and concomitant performance problems.

The most important point:

Some researchers argue that the record is simply too sparse to show clearly what is going on, or that there is too much natural variability in the system for researchers to spot long-term trends. But it could also be that the IPCC models are missing something big.

In spite of all the hand-wringing about Global Warming -- which should more accurately be called climate change -- we don't know as much as we so often seem to think we do. The actual data sets don't go back as far as most people imagine and errors in assumptions for models are not uncommon.

Maybe in dollar terms, but assuming the business keeps growing: they have sustainable income, they don't need to worry about getting laid off, they don't need to play politics with leadership, and they can turn the business into passive income by hiring someone to take over.

At this stage they are a lifestyle business, its not hard to grow it even more if they get investments. If they can sell the business over $10 million, they already surpass what most corporate employees will earn in their career. That's a very attainable valuation in 2022 with a PM fit product.

GCP and Azure have options to keep all data within the EU, I'm sure AWS has something to at this point. In France GCP is approved for public business, so it seems to be working fine.

On your general point, we're way past the point where a company is allowed to blindly use any random SaaS without caring about what it does with the data or where it goes. The pendulum is clearly swinging back.
I've ranted at length about Netflix and how insanely useless their data analytics are. I quit Netflix earlier this year. It was obvious to me Netflix would falter when they started using that "Top 10" leaderboard as their primary recommendation engine. It was a tacit admission that they, having all the money, talent, and 20+ years of detailed subscriber data (that every studio would kill for) couldn't figure out how to use that data. I would not be surprised if Netflix pops the data analytics/ML bubble. The curtain has been pulled back and the wizard has been revealed to be nothing more than a simple list of the most watched shows.

> you need the right people involved

Even then it's tough. The Mandalorian was great. Then The Book of Boba Fett came out and was not only a disaster, but also made the entire two seasons of The Mandalorian pointless. Similar to season 8 of Game of Thrones killing the entire show, because who can recommend a show that sets up the central expectation in season one that is so horribly resolved in the very last season. It's now a show I'd recommend to my enemy rather than my friend. TV is tough. And I don't think streaming is kind to shows that don't nail every season. This is content that is part of a catalog. It's not something on NBC on a Thursday night. Syndication isn't just a nice windfall. It's the entire point now.
2 x 3 years would be 6 years. 1950 to 2022 are 72 years. So 6 years of 72 years would be 8,3 percent. YMMV if this can be considered rare
Scaling customer support is the biggest fear, but I think it isn’t as bad as people think it is.

1. You can get a long way with extensive FAQ and give people ways to help themselves.

2. Existing customers don’t need the same kind of handholding as new customers, because they know the software pretty well.

3. It is up to you how much actual support you provide.

4. Customer support heavily depends on the kind of customers you have/want. If you provide something for free, you get a lot more stupid support requests than if you charge a modest fee.

Tell HN: Coinbase now requires physical address of recipient in crypto transfers
Just got this email from Coinbase, and it seems one by one the promises of crypto of the last several years are evaporating:

Starting on June 27, Coinbase will introduce some changes required by local regulations. Specifically, when you send crypto outside of Coinbase, we are required to ask you for the name and physical address of the recipient and the purpose of transfer. In certain cases we may require you to link a Coinbase Wallet to your main Coinbase account in order to send crypto assets off the Coinbase platform. This allows us to verify that you control the Coinbase Wallet that is receiving the crypto assets.

You're not missing anything. A lot of companies just have no idea of the legal landscape, or simply ignore it in the name of convenience. That's because consumers are even more ignorant of their rights around technology and don't sue them. It will take a lot of civil litigation for this to change.

Of course there is something proprietary or original about that. Why else would they need such an enormous AI to suggest it. Auto completing simple boilerplate was already solved in a much simpler way.

> Copyright infringement hasn’t taken place until the user activated the autocompletion and actually placed the code within their own and released their code containing the infringing code.

Copyright infringement takes place as soon as some company publishes/sells material without explicit license or permission. So not the moment the users hits accept, but the moment just before that: when the tool shows it to the user.
I don't see anyone up in arms here, he just pointed it's enough reason to cancel Netflix and he is perfectly right, same as they have right to enforce their contract. You don't like them going strict on account sharing, cancel account, it's your right.

These are not mandatory vaccines. They are merely approved. People can get them if they want them for their child.

> Btw a chance to be electrocuted by lightning are 0.006536%

That doesn't seem to be anywhere close to the odds of getting struck by lightning, much less dying from a strike, as reported by the CDC and NWS.

https://www.weather.gov/safety/lightning-odds

https://www.cdc.gov/disasters/lightning/victimdata.html

For example, there were only 444 total deaths from 2006 to 2021 due to lightning strikes. That doesn't even take into account the odds for certain age brackets.

The surface area for COVID infections and lightning strikes are two completely different things and shouldn't even be compared, even if you use accurate numbers. And last I checked, lightning strikes that are at all visible on the horizon during events, especially events concerning children, are taken very seriously.

It has increased the frequency of the problem.

Homes tend to stand up to harsh rains, as that is normal. What is not normal is 100 almost consecutive days of the heaviest torrential rain I have every witnessed, similar to a tropical wet season.

With this much rainfall, you get your building tested like never before. Our back lawn was flooded most of the time, with the water seeping into the building whatever way it can. There are new roof leaks, persistent puddles that seep into the brickwork. A stream of water running like a river around the property. High humidity means nothing is drying out. And so on...

I did the Crafting Interpreters book to learn Rust after I did The Rust book.

I faced the same problem as you. Somehow it felt like Arenas went beyond Rust's philosophy and added huge amounts of complexity to the interpreter.

Tree traversal and mutating the environment of a `block` internally was an issue I spent like 2-3 days on. I was porting Java code to Rust after all. Somehow got it working in a Rust way. I used unsafe at one place. But I was left heavily unsatisfied. Something about graphs/trees and Rust don't match up.
My assumption comes from Netflix praising password sharing[1]. I think they didn't mean sharing password with myself.

User Alice and Bob want to swap domain names they own, but using an escrow to facilitate the trade safely and mitigate counterparty risk - and they want to do this instantly, without sharing private data online, and without paying a % commission to a rent extracting corporate third party entity.

Let's go one more step. It's not the parents, it's the society.

Parents don't live in a vacuum, and if you think back to your school days, the kids in your class were probably not writing essays on why they'll want to be watching over their future kids like crazy maniacs for a decade and more until they leave home.

Kids absolutely are stupid tho.

But when the risk is relatively easy to evaluate as it is here, they don’t have much issue.

On the other hand kids are human, and none of us is as dumb as all of us (or for a more literary version the intelligence of a crowd is the square root of its cardinality).

No. That's perfectly normal syntax you would use every day. It is not sophisticated or special.

Also, consider functional languages like Haskell or whatever. Their syntax is exceptionally foreign for users of C-like languages, and so are the concepts. Still, they're (relatively) widely used.

Out of curiosity, and because I rather prefer pip and the requirements.txt file over npm or anything Ruby has to offer, what issues do you encounter with dependency management in Django/Python.

Granted, trying to build your own reusable modules for Django is not a great experience. In these cases the tools feels rather restrictive.
> have a better shot at writing good software with a simple language than with a complex language where I only superficially understand the features.

That's exactly how I feel too. No matter how much I use Rust, I find it nearly impossible to claim I understand a lot of its features. Zig OTOH is basically what C would look like if designed today! The improvements it offers over C are very compelling to me... it remains to be seen if the lack of formal guarantees that Rust gives still makes Zig programs similarly as buggy as C programs, but my current impression is that Zig programs are going to be very far away from C's in terms of safety issues... the features the blog post mention go a long way.

If you have different requirements, you can use a different file.
