There are people who can remember the cards already played during a poker game. I cannot. This is massively asymmetrical, but it doesn't allow me to peek at the next card in the deck before bidding.
I’m not sure what specifics you’re asking for?

There were lockdowns for 2 weeks. Any customer facing business that couldn’t have customers walking in to do business was going to have no income for at least that long. If you don’t have income, there’s no money for expenses like payroll.

Unless you operate an extremely high margin business, your only options are to not pay staff during that time or to have layoffs.

Most small businesses aren’t high margin.

As for middlemen, given the short timeline what were the real options for the government? Setup a channel where every individual could apply for direct relief or use existing heavily regulated channels through banks?

Keeping the economy moving needed to be the top priority, so existing channels made more sense.

We applied for a loan at our small business. We worked with our accountant and banker to make sure everything was handled properly and then documented everything so that we could apply for forgiveness. We didn’t have any issue since our staff had grown by a couple of positions from the prior year.

Even though revenues did take a hit, the temporary allowance for telepractice options helped to lessen the overall impact.

If not for the PPP loans our business and a lot of others like it would have been staring down bankruptcy and layoffs for about 30 people. And we run a tight margin business.

I can’t say that there wasn’t fraud in some places, but for us it worked exactly as intended.

The combination of PPP with high unemployment payments that lasted much longer than needed pretty well spread things around. Both of them had an impact on the overall economy.

In hindsight, we probably would have been best off by just having people take precautions and avoid lockdowns entirely. Hopefully we will learn from the mistake.
> …banning or censoring users based on "viewpoint,"…

There are many offenses that are not strictly viewpoint. Unruly behavior could be one of those.
Perhaps. But Sutter sits on the committee, and therefore has more ability to get these things into the standard.
There is something weird about government telling business a benefit is so important they have to provide it, but it's apparently not important enough for government to provide it.
The obvious byproduct is their happiness and productivity would increase, and other states would swiftly copy them to remain competitive. Then social media would have to respond to that.
Yes, they did the i3 and some stuff and they were early in on a lot of that stuff, but then for their next major product cycle they didn't go to BEV. You can still find articles about where BMW proudly talked about their multi technology architecture and how all-electric architectures were a bad idea.

This lead to a number of BMW people who worked on those electric programs to leave.

> and so is not at all widely available

It wont be widely available in the future because its just to expensive to build compared to charging. Tesla model would not have worked if they had to build hydrogen stations.
I live in a country where older people highly estimates dictatorship, so I have a hard time to understand how could I get any benefit from it.
White Males still enjoy the greatest degree of speaking without fear of retribution, reprisal, or even a contrary response. Some behavior isn’t tolerated like it used to be. Let’s not mischaracterize that as not being able to speak freely.
This is not an M.2 card. This is a way to interface with a carrier board containing more peripherals using the M.2 connector.

Development boards such as these can be also deployed as-is with "production" carrier boards.

The industry has reused connectors such as DIMMs and M.2s, and the main focus is being able to swap only the daughter-board to go up and down requirements and constraints as the project advances.
I think the text editor, [Kakoune](https://github.com/mawww/kakoune), was written as an experiment in modern C++ language features. Its documentation says it requires a C++20 compiler, though I don't imagine it was originally for that version, since it was started before 2020.
Kinderkrisp
Yet Reddit, that follows this model, still manages to engage in suppression of on-topic viewpoints that moderators and/or Reddit employees disagree with.
Live bait with the proper rig will pretty much always beat an imitation fly. Same goes for organics (fish eggs) that will have scent/oil/particle trail.
Okay, but how are they “inescapable”? I hear this argument a lot, but no one can seem to dot that very important i.

If I can’t use Facebook, I can use Reddit. If I can’t use YouTube, I can use Vimeo. If I can’t use Instagram, I can use TikTok or Snapchat. If conservatives get banned from Twitter, there’s a bevy of conservative-leaning Twitter clones. Plus Mastodon, which you can’t get banned from because you can just set up your own instance.
Theoretical Computer Science – An Introduction (Markus Bläser) [pdf]
This was posted here 5 years ago [0], I had saved the file at the time and rediscovered it today while sorting through my collection of documents. The original link is now gone so I have linked to an archived version of it. While searching online not much can be found on it. I really appreciate the work Markus Bläser has put into this, and have no idea why the original file was taken down. There is little to no information on this online but I think it is really interesting and definitely worth a read.

Do you want the owners of those small communities to get sued if someone posts copywrited material?
There's a bit of a gap between "everything" and "lots of things" though. I agree with you that lots of things are political, but everything?
Agreed. I wrote "will start to". There'll be pressure for that.

And perhaps in 10 years with new battery tech and more remote charging infrastructure they'll actually be mostly fossil-free.
It's not even close, admins ban subs all the time, mods are under strict grip of admins on how they need to mod thing otherwise they get replaced, there are cases where admins straight up say that mod teams need to get more people in the team or they'll lose the sub, i've seen subs with automods straight up saying that they need to be careful with what is written otherwise they'll be banned.

The huge Aimee Challenor thing, that lead to people being banned anywhere the name was uttered is just the super high profile example I know, i'm sure reddit users would be able to show more smaller cases.

Just want to make it clear, I'm not claiming this control is good or bad, there are good reasons for and against moderation, but reddit is not even close to a free for all.

>they should simply compensate them enough that they can afford to purchase an appropriate plan on the marketplace.

agreed, but they won't. Most of the "gig" companies are exploitative parasites.
Wood smoke is very bad for asthmatics. It worsens their symptoms and triggers attacks.

Where I live, in the San Francisco Bay Area, the air quality regulator says that wood smoke is the main source of air pollution. It's not ships or trains or trucks or cars or refineries. It's fireplaces and pizza ovens.
If you really believe in that startup and did a lot of research that suggests that the startup will boom and grow as much as you think it would, it is worth accepting the lower pay. On another note, a high paying company is always the same, it is basically a stable job without much adventures or financial upside in terms of stocks.
Realistically, yes. Best case, it looks like Kiaser. They're private, but they're both the insurer and provider, and they compete in the market. Realistically, it looks more like the post office or the DMV.
You're still free to block the people you don't like.
I suspect life gets very difficult. When visiting a supplier in China a few years ago I tried to buy a coffee from the place downstairs and eventually had to get someone from the supplier to do so because they had no method of ordering and paying other than a WeChat app, and as someone without a Chinese bank account I was unable to pay for anything via WeChat.
Didn’t the government create a marketplace where people can buy health insurance? If people don’t want to use it, why force it?
You might look into "The Forgotten City". Similar "world mechanic" and you really get to know the place while playing it. I enjoyed it after also playing Outer Wilds.
It seems to me that we know so little about the universe that we can’t say if it’s likely or unlikely.
> code duplication

That makes it very easy to roll out changes to any given service without breaking others and helps a lot with the backwards compatibility of services. Makes everything more resilient.

Shared code is always an internal dependency. You think 'We are sharing code and this is efficient'. But you end up having to take into account many different parts of the application when rolling out one change for you can easily break something totally out of sight while trying to change another.

I were mostly against duplication of code. But the more I develop and maintain larger systems, the better I see the value of separating codebases, even if this includes code duplication.
What, specifically would you like to have cited? White representation in tech? That's easily Googlable, and a number of citations emerge immediately[0][1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10].

As for "cancellable" demographics, that makes a ton of sense; there's a lot of (societally encouraged) entitlement among white men that results in some pretty terrible behavior. Hopefully over time white men will start recognizing how when they act a certain way, it's not the same as when a non white male acts that same way.

Probably because mods are unpaid and not employees.
In the US the “super app” was probably AOL.
Citizens United determined that corporations have some of the same natural rights that people do. In particular, First Amendment right, which in turn means that corporations can do the same politicking (and political funding) that natural persons do.

A more charitable way to put this: you don't lose your First Amendment rights just because you joined with other people for commercial or other purposes.
Sure, if you ignore all the other demographics.

Usually talking anything disagreeable will get you anywhere from passed over for promotion, shitcanned, fired for any imaginary reason of applicable. It affects women more than men, and interacts with racism too as judgements are harsher, so the threshold of what is "unacceptable" is tighter.
I'm not sure exactly what that means. I think it means AWS can't resell it for free, but you can use it as your production database for a commercial product.
I don't think this has anything to do with modern trends - := is a formal way of writing assignment (the widely used = is actually an equality sign), and has already been present in Pascal for decades (and other languages as well).
Where in the law does it say different rules for 50M MAU vs 50?
Ideally, yes. Unfortunately, it would also shift the balance of power from employers to workers. And even the Dems are hardly pro-labor at this point, to say nothing of all the powers that don't want empowered workers (and will do - and can do - what's necessary to prevent that).
I haven't bothered to read the article, the comme ts tend to be more informative...

However, reality teaches us that there is no one size fits all solution for dealing with people regardless of the lower structure.

In a professional setting the key is to remain, well, professional. Even in that vein though you have to know the person and how you're perceived before taking on aome subjects. I've had some senior leadership where a suggestion from me was all it took to change course. I've had others that refused to accept 6 degrees for proof unless it was vetted through the right mgt chain. By that time all credit can be properly dispersed.
Ferranti.
No. Because as much as your absolute moral certitude might feel good to express you aren’t changing anyone’s mind with it. On the contrary.

There’s tens if not hundreds of millions of them and same for you guys. We are all stuck together in one polity.

If we are ever going to achieve a synthesis and get back to a healthier place it’s not going to involve the kind of rhetoric you are indulging in here.
This is a false dichotomy, do not perpetuate this myth when dozens of other countries provide socialized healthcare that beats American healthcare across practically every metric. We can have a objective discussion about the merits of socialized healthcare without you injecting logical fallacies to be inflammatory.
There's discussion over what exactly a "political view" is here. I find this quote from a previous article [1] enlightening:

> "No one—not lawyers, not judges, not experts in the field, not even the law's own sponsors—knows what compliance with this law looks like."

[1] https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2022/05/texas-law-bannin...
It's great that 95%+ of the people we consider experts in these fields don't matter because CO2 is something plants breathe? Famously you can never have too much of a good thing. Impossible to overdose on water as we all know.
Having received healthcare services in countries with socialized healthcare, no it doesn’t look like that at all.
I wonder if the underlying goal of all this is actually classic authoritarian restriction of freedoms. The big public platforms are much better for spreading progressive ideas than conservative ideas. Maybe this was the underlying reason they wanted to repeal section 230. It wasn’t a misunderstanding it was strategic.
That cinsiracy theory is as old as the Titanic. Besides involving the intentional killing of hundreds if people, it never made sense for a ton of reasons. It was alos debunked hundrds if times by now...
It's in the name - a copy of Matlab's procedural API. So matplotlib is popular because they copied Matlab's original mistake.

(The procedural / global state API is actually reasonable for interactive plotting from a REPL.)
That's an interesting analogy that I hadn't seen before, simplified as Perl : Python :: C++ : Rust in terms of conjectural market adoption.

As someone who did a lot of Perl in web 1.0 times, and haven't really been a full time programmer in a long time but occasionally have since written Ruby, Python, and PHP, but never really felt those languages were that huge of improvements over Perl (certainly now their ecosystems are, but I'd love a much better entrant to successfully "attack" Python), and would sometimes wonder what if Perl had just managed to evolve significantly instead...makes me appreciate and even root for efforts to "make C++ 10x simpler, safer, and more toolable" like this one or perhaps Carbon, even though Rust does seem like a huge improvement.
Pruneyard is not relevant. There are three things that distinguish Pruneyard:

1. Pruneyard relied on a provision of the California state constitution. That provision is not in Texas's state constitution.

2. It was admitted by all parties that the petitioners were not disruptive to other people in the mall, and that nondisruption is central to why compelling the mall to host them was permissible. However, note that moderation frequently (I might even hazard inevitably) centers on activities that are ultimately disruptive to other consumers.

3. It was also admitted that no one would believe that the mall's hosting of the petitioners was not going to be seen as an endorsement of their beliefs, so it had no effect on the speech of the owner of the mall. This is the complete opposite of how it applies to social media: the tone, candor, and content of social media is central to the popular impression of the social media site, and therefore denying the operators the right to shape the content on their site necessarily is a restriction on their speech.

This is something that has been picked up correctly by every court to consider the application of Pruneyard to social media, well, every court except the Fifth Circuit, which appears to have decided that the rule of law is overrated and calvinball is a preferable state of affairs.
Just be an Gigachad Alpha at all times.
> Some apps don't need memory safety.

Even setting security considerations aside, as soon as you have users, using a non-memory-safe language means having users reporting very unhelpful “bun crashes at startup with "segmentation fault"”and good luck to figure out what's going on.

> I think this is a subtweet at Zig

Why do you think it's especially aimed at Zig? Zig is only one among others, like Carbon, or Cppfront discussed here.
I’ve started playing Yakuza: Like a Dragon and it’s amazing. I almost stopped playing after Chapter 3 because some cutscenes are way too long (at some point I put my controller down for half an hour, had the time to make sandwiches and eat them, and the cutscenes still weren’t over) but the story is incredible.

Maybe they should make a movie.
Two problems - one is adverse selection, the other is that uninsured people still get care anyway (showing up at the ER) and somebody has to pay for it. Right now we do it by bankrupting every 20th person that walks through the door, which seems rather unfair.
Unfortunately stuff like this is the consequence of the depraved selection process of loyalty and political alignment that a particular president valued above all else.

Many of the more… extreme elements on the ground backing this crap doesn’t care about precedent as they believe that the rapture and end of the world is near. It’s bizarre and unfortunately a very real factor.
The fork in the road facing third-party tabletop RPGs
Yes. And still modern home fridges consume single digit or early teens of kwh/month. Mostly due to the amazing insulation.
As someone with serious ADHD, it’s upsetting to me how confidently incorrect you are about almost every uneducated point you’re making.
Adverse selection and thus unaffordably expensive.
Is that the same marketplace where health insurance starts at $500 / mo, when my job subsidizes my insurance down to $0 / mo (HSA) and like $10 to $100 a month for PPO?

When you're already working the gig economy, I imagine $500 / mo is a lot more of your relative income than $100 or whatever for me.
>The same reason that the phone company or a company that owns all the local roads or water mains can't decide to "stop serving" you because they don't like your religion

Because it's hard to impossible to get alternate services for roads, water and electricity, i.e common carriers. But there are plenty of neo nazi forums, Gab, Truth Social, Parler, 4chan for racists to express and spread their views.
Or instead we should only do interventions that are easy to undo (or stop)
Are super apps actually working in the Indian market? I know Paytm has tried so hard but its not really gained much traction outside of payments.
If you don't live in Montana or other "promised land", you can try fly fishing anywhere. I'm fly fishing almost exclusively in lowland carp waters for 22 years already and caught plenty of big fish, carps, grass carps, chubs, asps, breams, nase, perch, roaches, rudds. https://i.redd.it/q7t30dmy0hw81.jpg
Zuckerberg was free not to listen to anything the FBI had to say. No one forced him to do anything.
But CNN told me.
That was one of the good parts of the ACA, although it also inexplicably added employer insurance mandates that created predictable perverse incentives (e.g. employees being limited to less than 30 hours/week). The whole thing is ridiculous: your employer should have no more involvement with your health care or insurance than they do with your food or housing.
There is a cancel culture that has created a chilling effect on the speech of white men, and denying it is gaslighting. White men now have to think more than twice about explaining their extremely interesting opinions about race or about women's appearances/intelligence, especially at work. It's been a slippery slope ever since somebody decided that white people couldn't shout the "N-word," even if they were singing a song or quoting a black person.

I obviously think it's a good thing (but only to the above extent.) But it is bad to tell people that they're crazy, because it makes them upset when they know they're not.
If in practice this works out to be the Precariat[1], it's a win for the evolution of the modern economy.

True but big tech’s policies have always been based on behavior, not viewpoint. The question becomes how will that be ultimately adjudicated.
Some would say that the Senate itself is a problem in that it skews representation.

That also ignores my point about campaign financing. It's legalized bribery.
I use the accessibility features to do text to speech on iOS with the Kindle app and it works quite well.
I’m not sure I’d := is a “modern trend.” Smalltalk had it circa 1972, but none of the modern-day hip languages I can think of do. Your latter example is a common syntax, but the colon is omitted with the type in most languages (TypeScript, Rust, etc.).
I don't think ad hominems or the success of LOTR belittle the critics here at all. As someone who really enjoyed both the books and the movies, I read through this list nodding my head at each flaw. I think it's healthier to just admit that even things that are cherished can have flaws.
Seems like the AG of Texas and the 5th Circuit are saying that some property rights don't exist. This seems contrary to the main thrusts of US law and to the US tradition that you have freedom of speech, but that nobody else has to pay for it.

Beyond that, the implications to topical forums are staggering. Any Texan can be off topic anywhere? Any Texan cannot be effectively reprimanded?

Do newspapers get to edit or choose letters to the editor? What other traditions are now void? I'm staggered.
Will this apply to bots? What if I have a big list of a complaints about a certain politician (use your imagination, there's more than one politician to complain about), but the "other party" doesn't follow me, in fact, I have very few followers overall.

So I create a bot that spreads my opinions by replying to millions of other Tweets. Anyone who mentions the politician of interest will receive a reply from "me" (my bot) within 2 minutes. Now I will be heard by millions, and my lawyer is ready should I be banned from the entire site.

Now imagine many people doing this, what a cesspool, you make a Tweet and the bot flood gates open. You Tweet about your grandchild and 30 seconds later you have 400 replies expressing "political opinions" about shady websites with cheap Viagra. Twitter can't ban them though. Welcome to truly free speech. You better learn to code if you want to be heard.

We're already at the point where websites can't control bots. AI that can write better than most humans is knocking on the door, and it can run on my personal computer. This law will only make it worse by adding real legal risk to banning suspected bots.

Am I exaggerating here, or is this actually possible? This feels like a loss in the humans vs bots battle more than a political one.
