Well, it takes more than one flag. So at that point, it's more like a jury of your peers. (In an actual jury trial, you don't get to know their names, either.)

Also, we're not anonymous to the judge (dang).

I'll reverse the question: If I see you doing something I think you shouldn't, why do I have to make myself known to you when I call the cops? In the same way, if I see you posting something that I think is inappropriate for this site, why do I have to make myself known to you when I flag it?
> Honestly, the goal with a free account should be to convert users into paying users or by making the platform more useful for paying users of the service.

That's true for normal companies. Startups operate by a different set of rules.

> If you cancel an account that didn't pay them any money, what exactly did they lose?

A user, and a potential source of future users.

For many startups, userbase growth matters much more than revenue, to the point they'll happily go negative on per-user profitability just to get more people on-board. Particularly those that aggressively pursue further funding ("actually making us profitable is something we'll consider after the next round") or an exit ("it'll be a problem for the sucker that buys us").

Yes, it is a source of a lot of pathology you see with today's software products, like products getting bloated with irrelevant pseudo-features ("oh shit, we can't actually make this sustainable; quick, let's try to extract all value we can from the userbase, and hopefully have something left after paying off the investors"), or getting acquired and shut down ("ha ha, we knew it was never going to be sustainable; we bought it to cheaply acquire talent and/or get you out of the way so you don't compete with our offering").

In every case, VCs and founders win, users lose.

At Chatango we just gave up on our Android app. We don't have a report button because we don't want users to gang up and falsely report profiles. We are counting unwanted incoming conversation blocks and take action based on that, and have hierarchical moderation in each chat. That was way beyond what we could explain to the play store policing bots so about $500k in development was trashed by Google, we went website only, because it's an uphill battle. We have tens of millions of users.
I can't tell if you're joking.

If you're seriously asking, how about that unions have consistently and successfully fought for better treatment and pay for workers all around the world. Many of the standards we expect today only exist because of union action over the last century or so.

Developers are no different from any other worker in the sense that they have more power as a group than individually. That generally has translated to better conditions, better pay.

As the gp comment suggests, it seems entirely plausible that this same effect would apply when applied to vendors. A union/guild/group of people is more able to exert influence over vendors than any one individual, and vendors have a bigger incentive to keep them happy and address any issues promptly. Individuals are, as the op demonstrates, completely at the mercy of megacorps.
Generally, pretty efficient implementations of such should be already provided in most core libraries along with the data structures in question.

> For example, bellum is nominative and accusative singular, bella is nominative and accusative plural.

That is true, but it's not really an example of Latin neuter nouns being subject to a fundamental rule specifying that the nominative case can never be distinct from the accusative case.

The rule exists, but the second declension forms are very standardized. You could equally use them to argue that Latin has a fundamental rule specifying that the ablative case and the dative case are always identical. (Though for that argument, the first declension would present a problem.)

Latin requires that neuter nominatives be identical with neuter accusatives even when the nominative form is unconstrained by its declension (only possible in the 3rd declension), and even when the nominative form is, by the standards of Latin, utterly bizarre. The neuter plural nominative of hic is haec (identical to the feminine singular, also an interesting [but not universal] pattern in Latin), and so is the neuter plural accusative. This is a word in the second declension, but it's a wildly illegal form for that declension.

And yes, as far as I'm aware, this treatment of neuters is an Indo-European universal rather than being anything specific to Latin.
Honestly, not really!

It's all been dragged up again recently!

Right now, it feels like the Cold War never ended.
It's how most exams and tests work and the emphasis on those (rather than learning) being the goal ruining it all.

American universities definitely have their great courses, but the fact that so much depends on money, makes teachers focus on funding first, publications second and teaching is very low on the priority and so is actually making sure students "understand", rather than "know".
I opened up File Explorer I and I see I made a full dump of Evernote on 30 July 2019. I was a paying customer for a few years but decided at the time to dump it before it was too late.

To this day, the one thing I truly truly miss from Evernote was the web archive. They had the best at the time, and I have yet to see it matched.

So, it seems from the thread that I should give it a try again?

I see, assuming that is what's happening here I'm still not entirely certain if this is usage error or a design fault. There's two things I have my doubts about.

Firstly, sure pushback seems like it is noticeable but is it really instinctual to push less when something starts pushing back? A counterforce is good at preventing someone from moving something, but I'm not too sure if it's good at preventing them from trying.

Secondly, I have my doubts about a system of transportation that cannot slow down without throwing off its rider. I mean the automatic balancing is a fun trick, but it's somewhat concerning when the only response it has in case of problems of insufficient power is to accelerate even more and when that doesn't work it does a nose dive resulting in what looks like a sudden stop.
Eh, maybe. But when the argument itself is a bit of an ad hominem what is one left with? The usual implication of the “argument” is that if one doesn’t think FP is all that great, it’s because they don’t understand it (and, usually, that they don’t understand it because they are not intelligent).
Here's an actively maintained version of Python 2:

https://www.activestate.com/products/python/python-2-7/

As you can see, it is still offered, and the PSF doesn't have a problem with that.

The problem with those other groups is that they didn't want to maintain Python 2. They wanted to take it and develop it, evolving the language separately from Python 3 - while also calling the result "Python 2.8" (and presumably later Python 2.9 etc). It stands to reason that people who own the brand don't want it to be associated with a third-party fork that's making its own major design decisions, no?

I was under the impression that the unification of nominative and accusative case for neuters in Indo-European languages was indeed felt to derive from an ergative-absolutive distinction in proto-Indo-European. The idea would be that neuters can't be agents and are therefore always absolutive.

He must have joined Infosys at 'on-campus' recruitment. Infosys and other companies might have visited his campus, he gave a sort of test and he was selected. Sometimes, once you pass an interview, you aren't allowed to try for other on-campus companies. So he was 'stuck' with Infosys.

The other reason is that programming as a hobby during college isn't a thing in India. (This might have changed in recent years). So you only get a chance to really mature as a programmer in the first few years out of college. So when he was ready to move on from Infosys, he had matured, but still had the Infosys 'stigma'.

And then it's really a numbers game. Infosys has hired millions in the past decade or two.

Everyone below a certain level talks to new employees. Do I believe you take their concerns seriously and actively try to help? Based on my own experience with PEs as well as your comment history I think you absolutely do not.

In general my experience with PEs at Amazon led me to conclude that the vast majority of them are:

- entitled

- lazy

- egotistical

- less technically useful than the average l5 engineer
> Damn, that part about being excited to learn and share knowledge with your peers only to be shouted down dredged up some memories. Most American schools are so regimented that any exploration of knowledge is actually sneered down.

As natural disasters will rise in the US, I suggest all "traditionalist" (wooden wall loving) Americans to build their homes with concrete as Spaniards/Hispanics often did. They may not survive quakes but they are effective against hurricanes. And fires won't spread as easily.
Assuming these results hold, I wonder what the legal implications would be. In a criminal prosecution or investigation, can you force someone to just think about the question while stealing the image straight out of their skull? Even worse, what happens when its only 85% accurate but 100% convincing to juries.

In the US at least, I think 4th amendment protections obviously apply (though with this bench, don't count your precedents before they hatch). Elsewhere in the world, even fairly liberal freedom loving jurisdictions, the question is still up in the air imo. That should give everyone pause.

I am somewhat confused...

Your point was that pious people, even today, would burn all owned books except the Quran as a show of their faith.

> Sealed time

I can't seem to find this book. Do you have the author for it?

> Regarding the book as holy property, special item: https://sureshemre.wordpress.com/2014/01/18/on-the-late-adop...

This is more about scribes being attached to their jobs so preventing the use of printing-press. That's nothing holy or religion related. Good old protectionism.

> Rest is on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quran_desecration#Respectful_d...

I am also confused what this has to do with the original statement. Quran as a book has a form of disposal, yes, and it's by burning, sure. Your point was about non-Quranic books.

> And in various scholar articles. Notice that its also a attempt to have cohension and prevent the forming of sects and cults.

Similarly, again, that is about religious texts and religious books.

Honestly, I am not sure where you got your claim from. As far as I can research, there isn't some widespread practice of "tendency for example among pious muslims to burn all books except the quoran at the end of life" ...

> Spanish and Portuguese ware used in trade a lot and they don't seem to have simplified much.

Latin is another standard example of a language losing complexity due to being learned by large numbers of adults. Greek still has a system of noun cases. Spanish and Portuguese don't.
This is the real issue. People don't read the instructions and push the board out of its safety envelope, then they crash, get angry, and complain about it online.

I've read hundreds of crash reports, and never seen more than a handful that weren't a direct result of the user's actions. Actual system failures are vanishingly rare, and most nosedives are only as bad as they are because the rider is traveling at an unsafe speed and has not invested in the training or equipment to fall safely.

> A vote for DeSantis only improves his chance of winning in your case, it doesn't harm Trump

But imagine that 3 Bernie supporters all feared that most Republicans would only approve Trump, meaning Trump would beat DeSantis, so "just to be safe" the Bernie supporters decided to approve DeSantis (as well as Bernie), leading to DeSantis beating Bernie by 1 vote (whereas Bernie would have won if they didn't do that).

In this example, the 3 extra approvals for DeSantis might have harmed Trump, if he had been 1 approval ahead of DeSantis (and 2 approvals ahead of Bernie) before these Bernie supporters cast their votes.
The small wheels on the front and back are an add-on, called fangs (https://land-surf.com/products/fangs%e2%84%a2-2-1). I’ve had them on my Onewheel for years and I’m not sure they’ve ever actually saved me on a nosedive. The front of the board comes down with a lot of force very quickly and even if the little wheels do keep the board rolling, the rider has been rapidly shoved forward and will likely go over the front anyway.
A few years ago I visited New York City and went to the MoMA. At the time, they had an entire floor dedicated to mid century design. I was always particularly taken with the Kennedy Armchair and the Eames lounge chair. Those pieces to me are undoubtedly art. But they also serve a function. They're chairs.

A business analyst once told me - "you programmers have it so easy. It either works or it doesn't!" as if the vague 2 sentence requirement from their spreadsheet that I have to turn in reality doesn't require any creativity to implement.

But what about the edge case they missed? How should I design the control flow of this? How should it handle errors? In a lot of cases, how should it look, because I only received a wireframe? Should I write this as a class or a function? Can I write this code in a way this is easy to read and performant? What if it's a really specific piece of business logic, that doesn't make sense unless you know the reasoning for it?

Good software is art the way a well designed car or watch is art. They exist to accomplish a function, but the path to get there often requires quite a bit of creativity and expression. Your assertion that art requires no function doesn't make sense.

Is a dish or menu designed by a chef not art? Is a house designed by an architect not art? I feel sorry for people who can't see the art in those things. And especially sorry for people who can't see the art in writing code.

> There's generally a medical component to SAR. If you don't need medical attention or weren't at risk of needing medical attention, what's the rush?

"At risk of needing medical attention", e.g., dying of thirst of exposure after a few days when you're lost, is not a medical emergency though. This isn't even some esoteric legalize it's just obvious common sense. You were talking about things like just getting lost, and SAR trying to file as much as they possibly can under "medical emergency". Definitely sounds like fraud.

> only desirable exactly due to generations of people who lived there and built them up.

Disagree. Much of what makes these cities so desirable was built on the backs of vast numbers of poor peasants in the surrounding countryside, or looted from foreign lands, or generated by travelling merchants, or built by people who were expelled from that city between then and now.

And even if someone does happen to be descended from some distant ancestor who contributed something to creating a place, well, so what? Just as no-one should be punished for the crimes of their ancestors, no-one is entitled to be treated better than others just because their ancestors did something good.
