I think it's a stretch to call it an urban legend. Casio was uninterested in licensing FM and developed a similar algorithm/approach. As far as I know Casio wasn't licensing FM throughout the 80s but still wanted to be competitive in the digital age.

This happened in the wake of the DX7, which was a massive success. Casio's CZ line never really touched it but they had some interesting qualities to them. I had the 101 which I bought for ~ $70 when nobody wanted them and they sell for a lot more now.
There have been international competitors in key US industries for decades. The most that’s occurred has been bailouts of US heavy industry such as cars. Examples include Toyota, Ericsson, Sony, Hyundai, VW etc.

When there are reciprocal markets between countries with similar approaches to government and law, there isn’t much of a problem. When one country adds tariffs, the other usually just matches them.
I hate this argument. Firstly, the content is still on the platform and can be shown to a user at any time for any reason. Over time it could influence what you watch in any way TikTok wants. Secondly, it paints the user as some kind of pervert if they fall into "thirst trap". Men like looking at women - it's not something that needs to be swept under the rug.
There is only one server. Or well, there are lots of servers that make up Lichess but they mostly do different stuff. There is only one main server which handles all the core stuff including games.

Also, restarts usually aren't daily. They generally are around once a week. Though sometimes when a new feature is seeing rapid iterations or an important enough bug is found, restarts can happen a few days in a row.
This law is going to be abused. We've seen officers trying to use intellectual property to avoid being recorded [1], turn off bodycams [2], or just straight up pepper spraying folks that pull out a cell phone [3]. Recordings cause problems for officers, so if the state gives them an way to prevent it they will use that.

This particular law [4] could be abused in several ways.

1. 8ft is from where "law enforcement activity is occurring". Officers will act assuming that this covers large areas, not just 8ft from the officer themself. Only later will courts get a chance to push back against this.

2. Nothing prevents a police officer walking closer to the person who is recording, pushing away the recording (or forcing them to stop as its now within 8ft.

3. The law says recording is illegal if interfering with the police or unsafe. Again, police will apply this to very wide circumstances.

It's more nuanced than that: it may not even be obvious if someone is actually wrong.

Most citations discuss related work, rather than direct replications; the latter are incredibly rare in most fields. As a result, the authors are piecing together a theory using data from many groups, each using different species, different techniques, and different conditions. Some of these might reflect legitimate differences between perfectly conducted, reasonably interpreted experiments.
Smart contracts are what powers most tokens. That's what it has to do with it. You can put any rules you want, but typically you want to prevent a small group from inflating or dumping the coins. How you do that is up to each designer.
You can't lower prices to below costs and make money. If they're not profitable now, to become profitable they need to either cut costs or raise prices.

The only reason to have prices below costs is to gain market share so you can do one or both of those later.

What costs do you think Uber has left to cut that they haven't at this point? Maybe workforce.

This is all a common well known business tactic, which many businesses have used in the past to establish market position. It's what they'll do with that market position people are worried about.

At this point it is clear that Mozilla is not really an engineering driven organization. They are mainly a political organization with a browser attached.

In addition, as some have mentioned, they really don’t have the resources of the big players (Apple/Google)

Given that the web browser is basically ground zero for malware and exploits, I think it is safer to go with the browsers with more resources behind them.
I disagree that that is the sole (or even most important) point of a citation. Most of the time you can view a citation as part of the (extended, implicit) problem statement for the paper, e.g. here is what X did in this space, and we are different/better/build on that work by doing Y. If an important citation is missing, it shows you aren't familiar with what has been done before in relation to the problem you are trying to solve (bad). Of course reviewers and readers are free to disagree with your characterization of a cited paper in relation to your own.

Having said that, maybe if you publish in journals a lot this is more of an issue. In conferences the Program Committee is usually set in advance so there is less scope to target specific reviewers (other than those on the PC).
There are quite different experiences outside of your own. Many people and businesses work on TikTok and every other social platform, there is a creator fund on pretty much every major platform out there. Millions of people work full time to find success on sites like TikTok, and almost every trending post is an ad for some sort of business, or for profit. Don't just lean on your own personal understanding and experiences.

I actually joined a political party in my country, because they had the intention of protecting Uber.

Some people wonder, but why? Why protect such scummy company?

Well, it was literally to save lives, as much illegal Uber behaviour is, what they were trying to replace was worse, MUCH worse.

Where I live "Taxi Mafia" was a thing, not just in the usual sense people imagine, like blocking competitors using regulations, but people were murdering others, there were beatings, assassinations, theft, high level government corruption, the Taxi Mafia was evil and destructive as any other "<drugs/guns/slavery> Mafia" you can imagine.

A lot of people claim Uber is evil because they say their workers are contractors and not employees. Well, before Uber if you wanted to be a driver, you had to purchase your own car, open your own company, and then give 50k USD to the local mafia boss, and promise to join combat whenever called. Combat? Yes, combat, gathering up drivers to kill a competitor was a thing, one infamous case for example: out of town driver parked near airport to deliver someone, a client in a hurry got on his cab as the other client was leaving, the local mafia didn't like this happened, so they surrounded the car and invited the driver for a "walk", took him under a nearby bridge, and they all kicked him until he was a mangled mess, and then they kicked him some more to make sure he was dead.

This does exactly the opposite of that. Reading the text of the bill, every part of it, especially Section (B), is couched in the principle of "not interfering."

For Example: "A PERSON WHO IS THE SUBJECT OF POLICE CONTACT MAY RECORD THE ENCOUNTER IF THE PERSON IS NOT INTERFERING WITH LAWFUL POLICE ACTIONS"

So if a police officer determines that your recording of a traffic stop is "interfering" with their investigation, that it's causing you to cooperate too slowly, that your holding up the phone is limiting their ability to see into the vehicle, etc., they're well within the law to instruct and even force you to stop recording.

While a court may find that their determination of "interference" was insufficient, and that they were wrong to take your phone or arrest you for refusing to stop recording, it will be a determination made after you were arrested or fined or your phone was confiscated.

It produces a chilling effect on the ability of citizens to record the police, and gives police more law to throw at citizens to try and intimidate them into not recording their activity.

The "plan" they are referring to is an abstract one, about how to transform input/output on some data

And "General service class [IE: commercial] customers show little evidence of load shifting behavior and are less responsive to the TOU prices than residential customers. However, general service class customers show some mixed evidence of conservation, although this is still marginal."

But they don't like to publish this info much. Smart meters were controversial (from it's giving me headaches, to this costs a lot of money for ? benefit over regular metering).

Electric utility pricing is regulated to be based on Return on Equity, so if they could increase their capital base through smart meter infra and cut the opex of meter readers, it economically benefits the utility, but not the consumer.
Presumably there will be transport of monkeys for reasons other than "research" to establish populations within Europe/US, then use of monkeys from those populations (shipped overland) for testing. Adds delay, and creates physical facilities vulnerable to activist attack, but possibly better for monkeys.

Would be great if animal testing could continue to be minimized, but I'd like to continue having the benefits of safe and effective drugs. For somewhat irrational reasons I only really am personally bothered by testing on cats; dogs, monkeys, etc. don't particularly bother me, but I recognize this is irrational.

Let me TL;DR it: Spends ages telling us a revisionist history we mostly know. Then says it deserves this because the chairperson of Mozilla has a ridiculous salary (agreed). That's nonsense though.

Firefox did a lot of stupid things (FF OS etc.) and took too long to deliver things like quantum, security, etc. But they got there eventually and they're still a non-profit. So while I don't support the salary of the chairperson, I do support it. It's also a better product than Chrome at this point in time (for my usage). Still has ways to go.

That's a popular argument, but it's a false premise.

Item B of the amended law[1]:

> notwithstanding subsection A of this section, a person who is the subject of police contact may record the encounter if the person is not interfering with lawful police actions, including searching, handcuffing or administering a field sobriety test. The occupants of a vehicle that is the subject of a police stop may record the encounter if the occupants are not interfering with lawful police actions.

In other words this law targets bystanders, i.e. concerned fellow citizens. It probably does this to avoid the trivial standing that recording as a bystander offers, meaning that the limitation there is more of "we think we can get away with this" and less "we think this is the right stopping point."

Not sure where you're located but I'm from Ireland living in the UK. In Edinburgh, all Ubers are private hire cars (it's not just anyone in 4 wheels). Uber has forced all of the major taxi firms to accept card payments, have apps with tracking, etc. Uber itself funnily is actually less reliable than the other operators. My experience in Dublin is the same. It's also completely removed the "take someone the scenic route and charge them 3x" (which happened to me in a taxi in Dublin from the airport in 2014!)

Meanwhile, visiting my parents in a smaller part of Ireland, getting a taxi involves phoning, waiting to see if they decide to pick up (if it's busy they don't), then having them tell you it'll be 10 minutes only to arrive after an hour, not accepting card, etc.
I have said it before and I'll repeat it again: Lichess is the best thing that happened to chess since castling.

> So what helps, in my opinion, is to think of Rust as using `std::move` as a default

Even more than that, with the exception of types that implement `Copy` (e.g. bools, integers, etc.), using after a move won't just silently degrade to a copy, but will cause a compiler error. Copying is required to be explicit for all but the most trivial types.
> Go isn't doing any implicit conversions

What do you call it when you assign a value of one type to a variable of another type and the language creates a new value, different from the one you were assigning, and stores that new value in the variable? In C++ this is called "implicit conversion." Here's the tutorial again:

var a Abser
f := MyFloat(-math.Sqrt2)
v := Vertex{3, 4}

a = f // a MyFloat implements Abser
a = &v // a *Vertex implements Abser

The last two lines involve constructing a new value for the LHS of a type that differs from the type on the RHS without any function calls, constructors, "make" keywords, etc. What word would you like to use for this?

You could just as well have a patch that changes the type of a single variable from *Vertex to Abser or changes the return type of a single function from a type that matches an interface to the interface, and that would also create an assignment that creates a new value of the new type that will panic in contexts the old one would not have panicked, even though the programmer has not added any code saying "please construct an Abser (type, pointer) tuple from my pointer."

> Go should implicitly convert a not-nil interface (that is implemented by a nil pointer) to a nil interface

I am not arguing for that.

> unless you consider "assigning a concrete value to an interface" to be an "implicit conversion", but Java does this too

I guess, but this is much less of a conversion than Go is performing because the runtime value does not change at all. It's the same pointer, not a tuple containing the pointer. Unlike in Go, this assignment may very often be correctly implemented by a sequence of 0 instructions! Importantly, the meaning of "foo == null" is unchanged. This is not because Java performs implicit conversions of interface types to specific pointer types at the null check. It's because in Java interfaces are unable to express having a concrete value of a specific class which is null, because they are just pointers. One might say "Java interfaces do not have inner and outer nil values" as a shorthand for this.

> Go gives you no way to express that a reference type can't be nil

I agree that this would solve the problem.

> You don't need reflection:

You don't need reflection if you statically build an exhaustive list of all pointer types that match the interface in the whole program but don't actually match the interface in the sense that the methods don't handle nil, then generate code to handle each of them. This just doesn't seem like a reasonable option because sometimes people make libraries so they can't necessarily do static analysis of the whole program at the point where they are writing the code. It also sort of defeats the purpose of interfaces, I guess.
Seems the most common scenario would be documenting traffic stops. I would be within 8 feet of an officer in any seat of my car.
I personally don't place one side over the other, and decided to admit that we sometimes kill lives for our own ego.

The only true alternative to that is an act of self harm, and that is not free from egoism either, so I just don't think too much and enjoy my life, only following my own inner voice as to what choices would be ethical to make.
Seems like a great way for nation state adversaries to catfish their way into important repos. /s

Seriously, though, what about developers who are looking for someone that brings other skills and interests to the relationship? Or people who like the idea of dating a developer, but aren't one themselves?

Then there's the issue that people might want to keep their developer/professional identity separate from their romantic identity, for reasons of privacy, security, and staying on the right side of HR.

If it's not too late to pivot, I would recommend using Wikipedia accounts as the user pool, since the site allows users to create their own Talk pages, on which they can add their interests and what they are looking for.

Ah, but we'll make it up on volume!

Selling a good at a loss in order to jack up the price later (the desired Uber play, though it seems like it's backfiring) used to be called "dumping", but...eh.
Think about the collateral damage caused by killing companies that break the law: lots of people lose their jobs, and most of them had nothing to do with the illegal act. That's not justice.
If you don't trust the warnings of the people who made the model, why do you trust their model?

If the program requires a Rest API to operate, I would suggest making it a web app using TypeScript with React/Vue/etc. If there's any longevity in usage keeping the client in sync with API changes will be a major factor.
I usually think this revolves around coming to terms with reality. For example, when you're actively looking for a something (like a cofounder, soulmate etc) you have a mental list of what this person "looks like" or the skills they need to have. When you find someone you match them up against this list of requirements that you created. Inevitably they won't have every skill or characteristic you _think_ this person needs to have so you'll pass.

BUT when you stop actively that list of hard requirements goes away. You've given up looking for the unicorn that you invented and now when you find someone close enough you're willing to "settle." That settling isn't because you didn't find the unicorn, it's giving into the reality that the unicorn didn't ever exist. As the philosopher Sir Michael Philip Jagger said, "...But if you try sometimes, well, you just might find you get what you need"
