The Southern elites probably felt strongly they would "win" early. The sheer incompetence of the Union army in the early battles suggest to me that there were some sympathies in the Union leadership and this was probably common knowledge.

They probably intended this to be a little tussle to show everyone they were serious.

The barrier to entry is a feature, not a bug. It discourages karma farming and low-quality responses that pervade a site like Reddit where a single account grants access to millions of communities on a whim.

That being said I also find it infuriating when I click a thumbnail in a forum post and get asked to authenticate. The image is already visible so as far as I'm concerned it's nothing more than a grab for additional user signups.
> So if you are a short woman who has married later than most of your shorter female friends, this is the service for you.

That's extremely niche. Also, I'm guessing if you are excluding friends based on their height, you must not be great friends with them, and maybe vice versa.

I'd guess it's more likely that bridesmaids in general don't have such a sacrosanct and personal role in these weddings, and they function more like models at an automotive/electronics shows.

People always make this argument in these kinds of threads and I wonder how it isn't blatantly obvious that operating-system level restrictions are woefully inadequate to deal with unscrupulous developers. Put yourself in the mindset of an unscrupulous developer for a moment, can't you think of a hundred ways to abuse permissions granted by the user or operating system to violate privacy?

While silkworm cocoons must be painstakingly unwound to produce the fine threads needed for fabric, for this use, non-textile-quality cocoons can be used, and the silk fibers can simply be dissolved using a scalable water-based process."

Those are cosmetic issues, in my book. The basic architecture is sound.

In any serious application you will want to have a central logging wrapper anyway (I always use one), which automatically takes care of the varargs issue.

The implementation of SimpleFormatter is 30 lines that you can easily copy and adjust as needed, including with your own custom format.

Regarding logger names, I always define an explicit set of logger names for the application, because that makes the logger names independent from implementation-detail subpackages, and any operations-side log filtering based on logger names will remains stable, regardless of how you refactor your implementation into Java packages. Basically, I see the logger names as part of the external interface of the application, and therefore I want to have them decoupled from the internal package structure, so that mere refactorings don't break that interface. You can still easily find all program locations that log to a specific logger, for example by Find Usages on the respective static Logger constant.

I’m not opposed to regulations, but the EU should be careful not to be too permissive or specific, keeping in mind the limitations of doing either one.

See also: the EU directive about mandating USB-C ports. They claim the standard will be revised in response to market conditions on the ground, which is nice to hear, but governments are slow - often by design - and they will need to prove it before they can be trusted not to screw up.

Your second point is the dynamic that makes the least sense to me. In public markets, if a stock is cheaper relative to future earnings, that makes it a better buy. In our corner of the world, the opposite often holds true.

Damn, I feel cynical. But, sometimes HN is weird.

From the article:

> and " ... it is now estimated that 72 million pieces of personal data will be collected on every child around the world before their 13th birthday. "

Meanwhile on the front page of HN at the same time, titled "VCs are Scared When They Should be Greedy" (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32170244) this appears with advice to companies seeking funding:

> They need to build companies that attract investment. ... A founder willing to play into an investor’s need for certainty is a founder that’s going to come away with a deal.

So, who do we need to tell to fuck off?

The VC's who fund and encourage the shitty companies that gather this data for greater, more certain profits?

The companies harvesting the data because their business model is really shadow/surveillance in exchange for that sweet VC money?

We tech folks who work for these companies and write the shitty, invasive software and maintain the shitty, invasive databases that fuck customers over, so we can pull a salary, and hopefully some options? (Like hey, man , I am not my company.)

Or the customer, who should just shut up, fuck off, and give up their data already? We give you the shitty... ahem, "high entertainment value", app for free. What do you expect for nothing?
Well that is a possibility.

There is a crucial difference. Unlike Google and Apple the German Autos employ a lot of Americans and pay quite some taxes in America (sometimes in structurally weak places). That gives them more leverage than their Digital counterparts.

Of course they are not doing that because they are more moral but because their products are bulky and need to be built locally.

java.util.logging was braindead because it wanted to know the class and method doing the logging. If not provided, it threw and catched an exception and filtered the stack trace to detect its own caller. Throwing an exception was a very slow operation.

I see they did some optimizations to do this work lazily if needed. But when log4j 1 was on its peak, that wasn't done, and using the built in logger was slow enough to have measurable impact .

And they will immediately run into 1) ban-happy regulators who will probe them for monopolistic power (withholding something as crucial as WhatsApp or G-Suite from the main App Store is pretty suspect), and for data collection (everyone already suspects them anyway) and 2) burned-out, pissed-off consumers who are sick of juggling all of their user accounts and being jerked around by yet another platform.

I have yet to see a convincing argument that any of these corporations will be able to charm users into joining competing app stores. So instead they will try to force them. Leading to backlash, and within days you'd see them putting their apps back on the App Store and begging the public for forgiveness. These are not companies who are particularly good at delivering huge new products anymore, and the difficulty is compounded by the fact that they would be playing on Apple's own platform.

That is solved with standard engineering practices.

If you need to make guarantees about your product that are dependent on another piece of software, then you just have your vendor produce a spec and guarantee conformance to the spec, then you audit that the spec fulfills your fixed needs and audit that the implementation conforms to the spec.

Then, if you made a mistake, your liability is limited to your mistakes instead of your mistakes and the mistakes of your dependencies.

If, on the other hand, you do not get any guarantees from your dependencies, and you fail to achieve your guarantees then that is entirely on you as you are the one transforming the absence of guarantees into guarantees.

Yes, and the goal of carbon accounting is basically to give actual data about which of these things offer the better trade off between the goal of reducing emissions and keeping the lights on in your business.

The exercise is only as useful as the actions it enables. Short of absolutes ("just close shop ! The greenest form of transportation is, after all, the hearse") or "one size fits all" solutions, there is some level of accounting that's needed.

The biggest risk, of course, is that the customer hides all information about its emission and just wants you to package a shiny report to fuel the marketing department's greenwashing op.

The Civil War saw a US Army General, Robert E. Lee, defect to a cause he did not truly believe in, because he refused to fight against his home state. You might also want to consider how many veterans there are in the USA, that is, people with military service experience now living as civilians. Last census poll put that number at over 18 million, across all branches of service. Some might re-enlist to fight for the government, but you wouldn't even need 10% of them to go rebel to have a multi-million man rebel force with military experience and contacts within every branch to possible sympathizers. Absolute nightmare.
No, fugitive slave laws required return of slaves from free states to slave states. Free states activists resented it, because it imported slavery.

This was by Supreme Court decision by the way. Also, the judges making decisions in runaway slave cases were financially motivated to rule that "this person is ex slave", so kidnappings of free black people were common. (Man, children, women were kidnapped in free states and sold in slave states.)

The slave states had slave patrols - armed men looking for escaped slaves. They would also check people on trains and borders, whether no one is escaping. It just so happen that slavery don't hold itself - it requires a lot of effort, arms and violence to keep slaves.

In cities like NYC is common for a landlord to own 8-9 buildings with multiple units, they tend to be older and don’t want to deal with tenants, so they hire property management offices, their work is simply to rent the place and maintain the place. To maintain the place they hire a super and to rent the place they get brokers that “volunteer” to bring them quality leads. They get paid by the tenants an unofficial broker fee that amounts to 10-15% the total annual rent. It has worked so far for the landlords and the demand mostly pay the price

Yeah, I think friction actually makes some things better, since it weeds out the most disinterested individuals and shows the people involved have some desire beyond immediate gratification.

Birthdays are a good example of this - in the past, someone who e-mailed you to wish you happy birthday was someone who had decided that you were important enough to them that they'd remember you're day of birth. The act meant something. But with Facebook, everyone gets sent a notification that it's someone's birthday, and many will send birthday wishes no matter how close they feel they are to the person. You come across profiles where it's obvious someone stopped using Facebook years ago, but every year on their birthday the same few people respond to a birthday notification and wish them a happy birthday, oblivious to the fact that they're no longer there.

The interesting thing is, introducing an inferior option that has less friction often causes most people who used to be OK with the friction to now decide that it's too much of a hassle. Hence forums might be better, but people who used to use them will now opt for a worse Reddit sub if it's easier. Once Facebook started notifying people of birthdays, most people stopped trying to remember birthdays of people who weren't immediately around them even if those birthdays weren't listed on Facebook.

I've read before that small changes in the friction in our environment can have big impacts on our behavior. It's interesting to see this in play, especially with many people choosing convenience over quality.
Exactly. You either have the capital ready to roll or you should not engage in any such commitment.

> A civil war has to be organized from the top

No, it doesn't.

A regional separatist movement (which the first ACW was, but not all civil wars are) generally is top-down organized, with a specific conscious elite decision to break away, but civil wars more generally don't need to be, at least to get started.

EDIT: In general, the discourse around both revolutions and civil wars in America tends to be full of misconceptions driven by the fact that both the American Revolution and the American Civil War we're elite-driven regional separatist movements, which are not the norm for things labelled as either “revolutions” or “civil wars”.
