It is possible that I am biased, because I watched Expanse and ( apart from being annoyed by how it quickly it became a relationship show ) I absolutely bought into the premise including the points you listed:

* The idea that we would actively intentionally re-create the situation of MAD in another context. MAD was an accident of historical happenstance and now that we know about it, we wouldn't try to re-create it.

If there is one thing that best predicts how individual human will behave, it is how they have behaved in the past. It is sad, but that is the reality. Similarly, as a species, once we know, a certain set of actions are an option, there will be people who will aim for that set of actions. If a creation of blackholes becomes possible, you can rest assured, MAD will almost instantly will be recreated throughout the known human biome. I personally think you give humanity way too much credit than it deserves.

* The idea that a magical new engine would suddenly appear that made many of the things in the tv series possible.

Hmm, not exactly magically, but most of recent technological wonders sped up developments in other areas significantly to the point, where ( naturally with exception of fusion which is always 20 years away ) we sometimes see developments in ways that could not be imagined before ( Operation Warp speed and resulting vaccine come to mind ) save for science fiction's like Rainbow's End, where a line between development and production is.. ridiculously short. I think in the span of human existence, suddenly likely needs to be limited by definition somehow.

* The idea that Earth will for some reason simultaneously become a massive welfare state, yet still somehow have solar-system spanning power.

I don't want to be that guy, but not to search very far Soviet Russia was just such a state ( with the tech allowed to it at the time ). I am not sure how this is a contradiction. Each society governs its own priorities.

* The idea that there would be a complete backtrack in labor rights and labor safety (the ice asteroid mining scene).

I can't even.. We can just barely force corporations to maintain labor rights now with some semblance of control since we have them physically operating and we can summon the representative in court and enforce compliance. And even then, those controls are eroded via various means. Is it really that difficult to imagine 'when cats away' scenario?
Clojure? That's a Terrible Idea
Compared to replacing every vehicle on their roads I think they'd rather install cleaner power sources. Of course their poor planning has put them in a bind. Still, not a situation better served by continuing to produce ICE vehicles.
The question should always remain "why arrest" and I submit anyone who is unsure why that is should, themselves, suffer arrest and imprisonment for no less than 3 months to help answer their question.
Well, the “trial” tried to charge $3 so I quit
If it takes years and billions to build a simple high speed rail line from San Francisco to LA then NYC subway this will still be around in it's current state.
All newer MacBooks and Apple and Android phones should come encrypted by default. Not sure about other devices.
I’d have to refer you to places like Southern Poverty or law enforcement to identify specific sponsors of terror.

I believe that, in the United States, prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and congress are the ones who decide what warrants investigation, generally speaking.
Often it is not really well known if how valuable the employees are,
Agree, but the question for me is whether it is clear that it’s better at organizational scale over decades. I think it is, but not hugely so.

Edit: I should add that I think there are a ton of things that are far more important for a high performing dev team than types.
Some people have a basic sense of morality, doing what's right.
> I might phrase that as "statically-typed language".

It it is not revolutionary in the context of such languages. Out of the mainstream but not revolutionary.
Oh, easy one. I was just very wrong apparently lol.
In the same vein: a man was involved in a court case pertaining to his daughter's gender transition. The judge prohibited him from referring to his daughter as anything but a male, and by her assumed masculine name. He referred to her as his "daughter" in an video interview for an online news portal. The judge found out about it and charged him criminal contempt. He ultimately faced three charges of criminal contempt. He ended up serving six months.

It happened in B.C. two years ago.

> You order highly lethal lab chemicals from a one click consumer products site

Yes, I do. You do too. Your medicine cabinet and cleaning supplies are full of lethal “lab chemicals” that would kill if ingested, or ingested in even mild excess.

But this isn’t even a “highly lethal lab chemical”, it’s just sodium nitrate; mined straight from the earth, and has been used as a food preservative for at least a couple centuries.

> … you use to restock your kitchen

It’s none of your business what we buy these things for, whether it’s to stock our kitchen for meat preservation, or backyard science experiments with our kids.

> The freedom argument is specious we don’t regulate commerce with corporate freedom as an overriding value.

The freedom you’re attacking out of emotional panic isn’t Amazon’s. They can comply with whatever arbitrary nonsensical “save the children” crap you invent, and compliance will cost a microscopic percentage of their overall revenue.

The freedom you’re attacking is mine, and everyone else’s.

Take responsibility for yourself and your own children. If you can’t do that, blame yourself, not me.
I think it's more a question of whether, given more time to calculate, the software changes it's choice of move to something else.
> "Most of them want to be "real" doctors and surgeons"

I'm a doctor. No. They don't. Dentists make more money and work less. Their training is rigorous, but generally shorter. They don't take call, don't work weekends and don't have any emergencies.

Sorry, but no. That is a falsifiable statement in just about every respect and possible interpretation. The implied assumptions about everything from employment law to the notion that in all work environments everyone has a “boss”, let alone the meaning of that term, are far from universal.

The world just isn’t that limited, thankfully.

Tip: think about why you had to put “superior” in quotes.

To make sure I understand, you (as a consumer) would like a way to log in to Stripe and see all of your payments and subscriptions connected to businesses that are using Stripe? Then cancel recurring subscriptions there?

If you use Apple’s App Store, similar to how they let you view/manage all subscriptions on one place?

(I build things at Stripe, in a space that’s relevant to this use case.)
I work at a well known remote company in tech. I would argue that the culture in my team is almost non-existent. There is very little socialising within the team, and many of the people, including the most tenured person, is usually too busy to even reply to a message on Slack, let alone get involved socially. I suppose people would refer to this as “leave me alone to do my work”.

However this has created an environment where there is less incentive to help out others, review their pull requests, help cover their on-call, or just give time to others in the team. The team operates on a very transactional basis (I need something from you) and little else.

I suppose some people quite enjoy that, but to me it has been very hard, and hurt my motivation to do good work.

At previous company, where we all worked in person, we all developed very strong friendships which still exist 5 years later, even thought some of us no longer work there. I don’t think I will ever get this at my current company.
Airwallex is pretty good and it can replace both Stripe and Connect.

I am a customer of their banking service and I played with their APIs. It feels like Stripe at the beginning, hopefully they'll be good for this decade
I am using the "original" angular-js, not the newer Angular whatever version it is now. It's not a full SPA. I just include angular.js and put the ng stuff in my HTML. Maybe the new Angular is different?

I think they meant that the money would be paid out yearly from profits. Not trickled out to you in "virtual dollars" that may never be worth anything unless your company goes public or gets acquired.
yeah I mean companies have IP which is reasonable, but you can buy a different phone that is USB-C compatible
These things are quite sensitive and their heuristics are sometimes wrong. I've been driving at the track for quite a few years, and now and then, you see a car deploy airbags for no good reason when cornering really hard or hitting a berm or cresting a hill. OnStar calling 911 is pretty common, because it decides to do that based on driving style, and on the track, it's pretty near the limit.
I never set a goalpost, so certainly didn't move it... but one very reasonable goalpost I might have set would have been "Don't let your language stagnate in a hole of bad practices on top of bad design for a decade or more while the internet fills up with content memorializing and perpetuating that state."

I'm not a PHP hater, and I'm the first to admit that what I've seen of recent work on the language is a breath of fresh air. Even in its "fractal of bad design" days, the language had its merits and has paid my bills before. But I'm also the first to admit it absolutely dug its own way into that aforementioned hole, and personally I think it is now way too late to climb back out to a point of regaining significant mindshare.
The poster actually understands your point or they would have used examples that fall more into the grey area.

They used extreme examples precisely because they wanted to avoid the challenge that will necessarily come otherwise.
Same, the professor used Emacs in only programming class I took in college. Seeing what he could do with Emacs left as much of an impression on me as the rest of the material, and I've never considered another editor seriously since.

Now that I think about it, perhaps money buys performance here.
How do you reconcile your prediction of a better future with the current scientific projections of the effects that climate change (and a myriad other environmental challenges and resources issues) will have?

Especially given that our current position at the top of the trend of improvement is in enormous part due to fossil fuels - the primary contributor to climate change and our expected future trajectory.

Past performance is not indicative of future results and quite frankly, to me, it all looks downhill from here.
When I moved from California to New Mexico I hauled a cargo trailer crammed full of my possessions across Hoover Dam. A cop pulled me over at the entrance and had me open it up. When he saw how full it was, he poked around it a bit, and told me he really shouldn't let me through, but go ahead, and don't do that again. It would have been several more hours to drive down to Needles and cross there.

Now I know what he was afraid of.
Pretty neat to keep value on the card.

EMV (chip) bank cards can default to local authorization mode if the transaction value fits your profile if the pinpad can't communicate upstream.

Nothing worse than folks not able to buy/use your system because it is "offline".

No.
It also helps set and/or make visible the window of acceptable-to-some-(epsilon,delta)-part-of-the-populace speech; that’s good because it prevents Bad Things from forming in a vacuum before suddenly appearing in the mainstream… but it can also be uncomfortable for some, or cause anxiety or fear. It seems better to get an opportunity to confront Bad Things, or debunk them, or whatever though.

Obviously it’s not okay or legal to threaten someone, but on the other hand we also get taught to a large degree that you have no right to not have your feelings hurt. This intuitively makes sense to me too-can you imagine if you tried to speak nearly anything and had to ensure that no one, anywhere, had their feelings hurt or felt anxious from it?

Speech outside that may not get you arrested, but it can certainly have personal and professional implications.

As an example (and they’re not all this clear-cut), it’s perfectly legal to espouse “plain racism” but it’s not a generally accepted thing, nor considered moral, and quite likely to cause you some backlash or, if applicable, loss of professional standing.
yes the internet and GPS were created by the government, but a bunch of other stuff isn't
Free speech has absolutely been a central value, since the time of founding, as evidenced by its prominent spot in the 'Bill of Rights'. It hasn't always been fully respected, but for the most part the trends have been good.

Only in a few narrow places & times might someone be "thrown in jail for vaguely insulting a man in blue's honor", and those are typically undone when the full process runs.

The anecdote you share, with the important details filed-off, is that a woman was prosecuted not for merely "laughing at Jeff Sessions" but the more specific charge of disruptive behavior during a government hearing. Opinions differ as to whether he behavior rose to the level of prosecutable disruption, but an actual criminal jury of 12 citizens was somehow convinced to unanimously rule her behavior merited conviction. But then when the full legal process ran, an appelate judge called the conviction 'absurd', throwing out the jury's conviction.

Ultimately, that demonstrates that like in other countries, officials in the US can misuse their powers-in-the-moment to attempt some amount of speech punishment, sure. But further that in the US, you can appeal to 'free speech' as a defense, and thus escape punishment for things that might keep you punished in the UK & other somewhat-liberal democracies with lesser speech protections.
If he doesn't look he can't possibly ascertain how much he values it.
I’m similar, except I do take vacations :). I work hard but spread it all out. Sometimes only work 4-6 hr a day Sometimes take 2 hour lunch break. But Sometimes take break from 4-7pm then work to midnight. Sometimes work on the weekend. (All at my own choosing, not because of on-call or anything.)
When Steve came back to Apple he had ALL lab prototypes destroyed. ALL.
You're making a personal issue out of a pedagogical complaint. Which one of us is approaching this poorly?

It's not the next generation's fault you've utterly failed them.
Addressing your points:

1. Is it recreation, or just maintaining the status quo? Once MAD exists, I don’t think it ever stops existing. Space creates an opportunity to escape MAD thus intrinsically a threat. It’s not hard to imagine MAD proliferating as humanity proliferates. It may seem obvious that this is the wrong path, but it’s not obvious that major world players see things the same way.

2. I think books and shows tend to be made about periods of time that involve extraordinary discoveries because the time prior to this is not particularly interesting and there wouldn’t be anything to tell a space story about.

This show also sets out to show the relatively near future and early stages of space exploration which means it must necessarily come on the heels of some major breakthrough.

3. Why do the two have to be mutually exclusive? Is this too far off from current reality?

4. Look at the current climate towards human rights and the trend towards losing them worldwide. Recent major decisions by the US Supreme Court also come to mind. That old behaviors would re-emerge in environments subject to less oversight seems pretty plausible.

Obviously everyone has personal preferences, but $0.02.
Sometimes law enforcement has to choose to not enforce a law, so “why not arrest” is just as important of a question as “why arrest” when choosing to enforce a law.
Implicit in my comment was the idea that props be built with long-term human usability in mind. Even better if communities pitch in with labor and/or supplies to help make that happen.
I believe the parent was trying to say that the information provided is anecdotal, and that they would prefer hard data. They were doing this in an exasperated tone--the full version of their expression would be some version of "If that isn't hard data, I don't know what is!", and is meant ironically in this context.
>If the bonus dollars are evenly distributed as proposed then it won't encourage competitive in-fighting that plagues some incentive systems.

I am not sure about that. I think the in-fighting would then come from people upset that other people that "did not contribute nearly as much as I did got the same bonus".

People will always find a way to no be happy about something.
Based on the title I was so sure it will be about the Northrop Tacit Blue.

Ugliest airplane (in my opinion): check. Predicted the future (by being a fore-runner of modern low observeability stealth planes): check.
People living in the vicinity of Schiphol have been complaining about noise and pollution for decades. There have been massive protests against growth plans. So in a way, I'm not all that sad about Schiphol finally being forced to scale back a bit, although it's unfortunate that it's happening because they tried to cut costs on labour.
You can have non targeted advertising on niche content. In fact YouTube will display advertising to any user even those it knows nothing about.

The only difference is relative pricing, but again the global population and global advertising spend doesn’t depend on tracking so if it was banned little would actually change.
Visa and Mastercard both have gift cards available at gas stations, grocery stores and corner stores everywhere you go. There is no age restriction with those. You just need enough cash to buy one.

Likewise, a lot of banks have changed their debit cards to VISA debit cards so they can be used like credit cards, again regardless of age.
Ugly?! I quite like it. The mig15's stouter big brother.
Oh that's fair. Zig makes a big deal about ensuring that "what you're supposed" to do is the simplest/easiest option at your disposal.

In service of this, even in Zig's current pre-1.0 state, adding a library can be as simple as something like the following in your project's build.zig:

// Argument Parsing Library
exe.addPackagePath("clap", "lib/zig-clap/clap.zig");

This and the language just having generics (which isn't necessarily the goal of all c-replacement languages i recently found out) suggests to me that the language as it currently stands encourages libraries to be written and reused.

In Zig, allocators are "just another argument", functionally an interface so as a library author you have to pay less attention to whether your library can be used in hostile environments. I'm quite sure this idiom exists primarily to just make Zig libraries (like the stdlib) useful in more places.

Certainly, Zig doesn't have all the tools you'd expect in other languages to aid library authors and consumers. I personally would love to see proper interfaces in the language, rather than the interface-by-convention situation we have right now. It's a matter of tradeoffs, many of which I imagine will be addressed and reconsidered as the language matures.

You can, just not as efficiently as your solution or Wordpress or Ghost or whatever :)
It does very much depend on how you define “continuous” and “democracy”.

That aside, I think there is enough evidence that restricting political speech in a democracy kind of defeats the point and it disenfranchises people. Some counter this by saying “well we only want to ban the extreme speech”, but I’d argue those are exactly the people who are likely to take up pitchforks first.

A right to only “moderate” political speech doesn’t make any sense. Moderate speech isn’t a target of censorship.
Well, the dead account has some links which I won't repost. Feel free to reach out over IRC or email if you want other/more links I guess.

From what I gather is that the conflict around the website started at 35C3 with the posters and the general shitposting. It was pinned to the cock.li assembly and vc was then asked to not come back. Which they did 36C3 and resulted in the above video.

Whether or not vc knew all of this, or was directly involved, I don't know.

They sell bleach and ammonia-based cleaning products at the grocery store, and those will eat your lungs out if you mix them.

They sell dry ice, and that’ll give you frostbite in seconds if you’re stupid.

They sell extra-strength Tylenol, and that’ll destroy your liver if you just take 10-20 of them.

They don’t sell concentrated hydrogen peroxide at the grocery store because nobody is asking and there’s not a market for it — not because it’s dangerous.
I dont know why it surprises you that Czechia is more developed than Spain. Romania for instance has overtaken Greece and will overtake Portugal in the near future. Hungary is also doing rather well let alone Poland. Without wars those countries are returning to their natural state.

But that still doesnt mean Spain is poor. It just means other countries progressed. And many times its the progress and growth that matters as opposed to stagnation which feels bad. The reason i mentioned that eu countries are richer than others is to put things into perspective.

Europeans are used to growth and thats the issue, there isnt any as of recently. Its just germany flouting its economic dick in everyone’s face while the rest of the eu has to follow rules that dont benefit them.
Most of safari isn’t.
The sibling already answered in broad strokes. For the current congress, you're probably too late. Organizing the thing started, if I remember that correctly, somewhere around May/June this year.

There's multiple levels of organization, grouped under the various *OCs (Foo Operations Center), the best place to get to know them and get involved is at the congress through angel shifts. The second best place is probably to hang out in the various German/Swiss/Austrian hackerspaces during the year and getting to know people who are part of the orga.
Thanks for posting that. So does Stripe just not have a COO at the moment?
