There were some dark times during the Trump administration when unmarked federal agents were sent to squash protests[1]. And of course long before that was Kent State[2].

So sadly the U.S. isn't as far removed from your hypothetical as I'd wish.

> inhibits the only practical means we have for peaceful social change.

> there will be backlash against things like this, and it's not going to be pretty.

Both of those are certainly, to me, a "polite" implication that they see this action as being part of a path towards something other than "peaceful social change" that "will not be pretty" during the "backlash to things like this".

What sort of un-peaceful social change in backlash to this that you think will involve Paypal that won't be some sort of danger to the employees there? The direct implication is that this is removing a non-violent option for OP to cause change, and that their thus-violent backlash to this will not be pretty.

Sure, it's not naming specific people at Paypal who should be harmed, but this reads very much like the sort of vague pseudo-threats that are common these days that skirt the line of being an actual "threat" that is legally problematic, but still conveys intent to cause concern to those the poster disagrees with.

It's not much less blunt than "people who did this are going to be first against the wall in the revolution"
Charging anywhere but home absolutely ruins EV economics. It’s almost impossible to make an economic argument to buy an EV in 2022, but it’s outright impossible to make that argument without fuel savings.
Perhaps. Most of these diagnoses are done by a doctor or a therapist asking you to fill out a questionnaire (written or verbal) and then just summing up the points. You can do this online yourself.
EVs = Tesla is probably the biggest misunderstanding many people have. EVs are about the energy source for propulsion and not about the smarts (real or claimed). A car with10 year old features powered by electricity is a perfectly usable vehicle without needing any of the glamorous things that tesla adds.
Good points. Plus, there are many countries and districts where it is just not feasible. Wander into the deserts or jungles and tell me how to reliably operate and refuel EVs in those harsh environments. Toyota leads the way with offerings like the Land Cruiser, Prado, Hilux, etc.

> They don't have a radar gun

You know, I have my doubts about the practical benefits of this whole operation given that there aren't any planet killers lurking in the asteroid belt for at least a century, and so I suspect this was sold with a planetary defense angle because a bit of a scare is a good way to loosen the pocket book. That said, maybe we could justify rebuilding Arecibo along similar lines. I believe they were in fact using it as a near Earth radar gun and it was even initially constructed as a defense project.
My companies first embedded linux project was right smack in the middle of that. I think there were some big changes in gcc. NAND flash was relatively new. So much out of date docs, broken/incompatible code, and false starts.
I do care, and in your example, it depends on what license the project uses and how "proprietary_library" is distributed.

In this specific case, if Muon distributed a copy of Ultralight (which it doesn't seem to; I'm not sure why I'm spending so much time on this), the it could not be GPL'ed, for example, because Ultralight has a proprietary (incompatible) license [2]. For a license like MIT or BSD, I think applying that license is technically valid, but again, not very practical. I doubt Muon would make it into the OpenBSD repos, for example. Its distribution is hindered by the depedency.

Basically, "open source" doesn't really mean anything in this context; you need to consider specific licenses and circumstances.

I tried Stadia several times, and it just never worked well.

In my case I'm pretty sure it was wireless congestion despite only having a low tier cable service. I live in a town home right beside some condos and the throughput sinks like a stone as soon as I move away from my router. If I stood right beside the router it actually worked fine despite the relatively slow nominal performance of my internet connection.

I imagine this wouldn't have been an intractable problem. I could have spent the time and money to optimize the networking in my house. But the fact is, everything else I want to do works well enough for my purposes - except Stadia. I can't imagine a non technical user would bother to diagnose this class of issue before just giving up and buying a console.

Eventually my Steam Deck pre-order shipped and I never looked back.
That’s true, but I’m thinking that every class of asteroid is going to go down a level or two on the scale once we actually go poke them. Look at Bennu: they expected from the estimated density that it was a conglomerate and would have a significant amount of surface sand and dust they could pick up.

Close up pictures showed that it is a lot less homogeneous than they expected, with huge boulders right on the surface as well. That doesn’t match with the measured mass and density since boulders are heavy and dense, but maybe there are more internal voids. But then when they touched it, the nitrogen gas that was supposed to blow some dust and sand into the collection chamber also threw a huge amount of material out and away from the probe. It may even have shattered some of the gravel, meaning that stuff is really more like styrofoam. It may still be silicates, but it is probably foamy. Think of pumice rather than sandstone or granite. Those giant boulders might be more like stage props than actual boulders. It will be very interesting to see what that stuff looks like when they get the samples back.

All those stories of hollowing out an asteroid and turning it into a habitat or generation ship for 50,000 people aren’t looking so prescient. :)

Of course on the other hand it could turn out to just be selection bias: sample return missions are obviously going to pick a low–density asteroid that they hope will at least have some dust they can scoop up, instead of picking a really dense one that might turn out to be too difficult to collect from.

Also, I’m ignoring the dwarf planets that happen to be in the asteroid belt, like Ceres. We can reasonably expect them to have some real rocks.
I totally agree with you - I don't really like this as a matter of policy. It's one thing to have Paypal close your account and just decline to work with you. That seems fair enough in an open economy. Fining people for something they do outside of their platform is just crazy. That actual "we're the police now" levels of absurdity.
This makes more and more sense to me the longer I program, and the few projects where I've been able to do it, are the few projects whose code still seems delightfully elegant to me. It is basically taking care of your "technical debt" before it becomes debt at all.

(And I agree with other comment threads that it isn't always because of a mistake earlier, it's because the program has been called upon to do new things that weren't anticipated before, it's not so important to decide if they _should_ have been or not).

But to do this requires a few things which can be rare:

1. Sufficient "Ownership" of the code to be permitted to do the refactoring. Like if you show up with a PR on an open source project that is new to you, to refactor to first make the change easy... it's going to go nowhere. Internal projects then will depend on the culture and social organization...

2. Time. If it's essentially eliminating your technical debt before it's acquired... well, the reason technical debt is acquired is because for better or worse, choices are made not to spend time on it, whether wisely or unwisely.

3. Skill. It's a craft. The more you do it, the better at it you get. Ideally learning by observing people do it who have already done it more than you. And it also requires having a general mental model of the existing architecture you are changing, which, first see #2 above, and second, can be hard to do if it's a mess. (Also, and this may be the most challenging -- with insufficient skill and sensitivity, your refactorings to "make the change easy" can actually make things worse, make your immediate change easy at the cost of a complicated spaghetti architecture which actually just over-complicates everything).
In this case, it's a reasonable approximation.

If property is the subject of a reasonable dispute-- e.g. whether a contractual term applies-- whomever is holding the property has the upper hand. Especially if the amount of property/money is small compared to the probable cost of litigation and especially so if one is unlikely to recover legal fees.

> Sure hashing a password and pairing it with a n email is easy in theory,

That way lies frustration and wheels spinning, as you spend time on undifferentiated functionality that is critical.

So, do some evaluations of the options out there (including OSS libs, framework provided solutions and auth providers) and pick one. It's a nice architectural component similar to a message queue or database. Only in very rare circumstances would you write one of those, and auth should be the same.

It's not sarcastic. I do think the Pu risks are overblown, and I think the numbers I've posted in this thread back that up sufficiently that I don't see how anyone could disagree. Can you explain further?
I was truly puzzled at whether it was done with one of those "realistic handwriting" fonts with many character variations (look at the lowercase 'a') and spent a bit more time than I wish I did trying to figure that out.

That said, I do wonder why. The fastest I can write manually is roughly 20-25wpm, and that's already going to produce something far more illegible than this article and be extremely fatiguing, whereas if I'm using a keyboard, I can do 5-7x that for long periods of time without tiring.

Most people never want to acknowledge the sheer scope and scale of Paypal and Square's Cash app's usage as large scale money laundering, drug trafficking, and prostitution tooling. (and much more)

They didn't really even try to stop it in the early days. You could setup an injectable immunomodulator merchant account in under 10 minutes with Square. People started entire pill mills using Square and Paypal. It was wild!

Similar to Turo who allowed the vehicles of their users to be used by weak KYC'd users. You never knew who was actually driving the vehicle.

I had loads of interesting conversations with Ex San Quentin prisoners, was riveting to listen to some of them talk about the crimes committed with all the fintech startups. Everything I thought I knew was wrong.

Yeah but this tool just lowered the barrier-to-entry for any motivated attacker. What before was an, oh, 20 hour slog through a bunch of sites looking for the same username, is now a 15 minute run of a script.

For an analogy, consider another tool, an app you can side-load and use to unlock any Prius made between 2010 and 2013. Is this beneficial? Certainly some affected Prius owners will be helped by its release. But affected Prius owners will be (probabilistically) harmed. Even if you're one of the group that was helped (probably arguing the exploit was already well known prior to the tool's release, perhaps?) I think it is dishonest to assert that the release of the tool is "good" from a utilitarian sense.

I wish it weren't so.
If the latency is terrible, you might want to try disabling old devices or seeing if you have interference from another network - it’s normally a couple of milliseconds, maybe 4-7 if you’re using a mesh.
Disclosure, I work for one of Colin's competitors, FusionAuth. :waves:

Well said. The other piece is that it's undifferentiated. I always say "no one ever fills out a login form and says 'wow, that was so beautiful'." It's always a door between where users are and where they want to be, inside your application, doing their job or scrolling cat pictures.

Perfect candidate for choosing a service, imo.
Certainly momentum to support gas cars is great that itself could be reason enough for a large automaker to keep making them. All the infrastructure like gas stations, oil change shops, gas car mechanic shops, mechanics with decades of experience, refineries, fuel transport trucks, etc. don't go away overnight specially in countries with low GDPs.

> the fishing championship didn’t get the world's leading expert to run it.

That would actually make the results less reliable, not more.

Polygraphs are good at two things: interrogation, which is basically hitting the subject's knowledge-tree with a stick and seeing what falls out, with the polygraph giving a crude estimate of where to aim for more information. And legitimization, pretending that the interrogation 'produced' some specific result (interrogation does not work that way) to trick people into thinking that result is true.

Interrogation is mostly useless (you might get information about how they (may have) cheated, but that's worth less than nothing unless you can verify it against real evidence), and legitimization makes your beliefs wronger than they were to begin with, because you no longer know that you don't know things.

and that's one of the many reasons why project got delayed, manager gets optimistic and consider himself a 0.5, only to realise halfway that he is overwhelmed by meetings, and his superior is asking why is he even coding? He then simply leave it to the team, which is actually the best outcome in this situation. But like inflation, the initial estimation based on 3.5 dev is probably not gonna get revised because it has been committed to the boss or client.

The best thing a manager can do, is to support team when he can and NOT consider himself a resource, even if he does the coding.
Why is it guilty? Someone acts awkward after winning a hand and the answer, or even suggestion, is cheating? Why? That all the skips that she's a woman and the guy who lost was salty as hell and had a menacing attitude.

> talk from one party about ending the filibuster

Do you really think that if the GOP win the House, Senate, and Presidency, they won't scrap the filibuster to ban abortion nationwide in 2025?

You're right that setting new precedents is a dangerous strategy, but showing restraint against an opponent that doesn't follow the unwritten rules (and even some of the written ones) is just asking to be taken advantage of, like a losing player in the Prisoner's Dilemma.
It actually doesn’t. If you bought an EV and just used L3 chargers to fill it, you would still come out far ahead given the current price of gas, at least where I live.

But I generally agree: unless you drive a lot and can charge at home (or at work, or both), you aren’t going to get very far ahead with an EV (and lots of L3 charging supposedly strains the battery). But they are also really fun to drive, so it might still make sense for some people to get them even if they aren’t going to be saving money.

Stubhub has a similar policy where you automatically get charged the entire sale price as a penalty (which goes entirely to Stubhub, separate and in addition to them refunding the buyer) for cancelling an order. Even if you do it right after sale. Most platforms like eBay or Amazon will give you some kind of strike for that, but I'd never heard of anyone attempting to fine you money beyond refunding the buyer. I cancelled the credit card so they can't charge me, but apparently they send people to collections for this. IANAL, but I think I might be able to argue that it is unreasonable liquidated damages, especially since their help site refers to it as a "penalty." PayPal is clearly trying to use the right language here, calling it an estimate of hard to calculate damages.

I think these liquidated damages in consumer contracts are really a terrible idea and getting more and more common with online companies. Apparently Zipcar will charge a $50 late fee if you are even one minute late, whereas other rental firms charge something like $12 a day and wouldn't even think of counting minutes.
These works being made in one of his "factories" makes it feel less transformative to me, not moreso.

There is a lot of talk in our department as to how we might prepare our students for this technology. It is scary how fast it is growing, and how it is spreading to things like 3D and texturing.

Tesla is nearly 20 years old. This industry is no longer new. We’re deep into the EV movement and prices are actually going up year over year.

Just exactly how many more years do you think is needed before these vehicles begin to even approach mass affordability? We’re moving the goalposts on the $35k sweet spot and we still can’t get anywhere near it even with a massive tax credit.

Maybe by the time California has banned all combustion engines people will have just stopped driving because they can no longer afford to buy a vehicle to drive.

PayPal added this point (coming into effect Nov 2022) and there are large fines for each violation:

> involve the sending, posting or publication of any messages, content or materials
that, in PayPal’s sole discretion, (a) are harmful, obscene, harassing or objectionable, (b) depict or appear to depict nudity, sexual or other intimate activities, (c) depict or promote illegal drug use, (d) depict or promote violence, criminal activity, cruelty or self-harm (e) depict, promote or incite hatred or discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics (e.g. race, religion, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation etc.) (f) presents a risk to consumer safety or (financial) wellbeing, (g) are fraudulent, promote misinformation or are unlawful, (h) infringes the intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of any party or (i) are otherwise unfit for publication.
In IDEs that support refactor-renaming (Emacs probably does?), the column-aligned formatting also has the drawback that it breaks (unless the refactoring also auto-realigns all affected code).

For example,

one = 1
fortyTwo = 42
elite = 1337

might become:

one = 1
ultimateAnswer = 42
leet = 1337

This made me stop column-aligning in most cases. An exception is array initializers for two-dimensional tables with many columns, where the benefit is important enough.
