Yes; for isntance see the CMU infix.cl file from the 1990's:

It has test cases at the bottom. like checking that f(a)*=g(b) expands to (setf (f a) (* (f a) (g b))))

The module installs the syntax under the #i dispatch characters; you wrap the infix expression with #I( ... )
Your point is completely valid but physically there still is some room to improve. Hollow core fibers for instance allow light to move one third faster.

You only need to look at Epstein to know that they're in on it. Best case they're happy to allow and enable and excuse it so long as there is money and power in it for them. Worst case they actively use it for blackmail and control and keeping their members in line.

This isn't a "conspiracy theory" and would not even be a new shocking fact about their behavior. It would actually be more surprising to learn the rulers who cheerfully conspire to start wars that kill hundreds of thousands of people and steal trillions of dollars from the commoners would draw the line at abusing a few more children. That is a baseless fringe theory that would require extraordinary evidence to substantiate.
>“Latine” and “Latin@” (and similar constructions for other -o/-a words) are not unheard of in some actual Latin American countries, though.

"Latrine", " Latin@", and "Latinx" are almost entirely unheard of in actual Latin American countries, though.

The Association of Academies of the Spanish Language is the governing body that defines what official Spanish is. If you can find a single academy that lists "Latinx" or "Latin@" as official Spanish, I'll eat my hat.

The crypto crowd has been able to promote a culture in which there is no supporting data for financial hype, and that's considered OK. Crypto is different, you see.
If crypto exchanges had to file an S-1 and quarterly reports with the SEC, people would be looking at the financials and saying "WTF?". With no audited numbers, there's not much for serious reporters to look at. But they have to write something. Hence the softball articles.

Now, there are the old-line balance sheet types who say publicly that crypto is bullshit across the board. Warren Buffett, Charlie Munger, that crowd. People who read Graham and Dodd, and Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds.

The crypto community argues that's outdated thinking. Go watch "Don't be like Larry" [1] again. That was an FTX commercial run at the Super Bowl. The reason the hype worked is the run-up of Bitcoin from sub-penny values to $60,000. World's best performing asset for a few years. It is hard to argue against success. Everything else rides on the coattails of Bitcoin.

FTX has nothing to do with cryptocurrencies, really. It's a bucket shop out of the 1920s, a fake broker that pretends to do trades but is just updating their own fake database and issuing fake stocks for fake companies. The same stunts could have been, and have been, pulled with gold mining stocks. FTX benefited from the "we don't need regulation because this is innovation" mindset. That's how they did it.

Big questions for journalists today:

- Where is Binance, the company, anyway, what assets do they really have, and who controls them?

- What assets are really behind USDT?
To be fair this is kind of a cool idea which is to allow open source package maintainers to earn based on popularity, the incentives here seem interesting at least.

However I highly doubt the original intention behind the NFT collaboration was altruistic to begin with.

Meaning at this point I don’t really trust any altruism in crypto in general (“hey we’re not trying to scam you we really are trying to change the world”).

The idea itself though was interesting to me: getting paid on a token based system for maintaining your open source package

No, for a number of reasons:

1) It's the code license that matters, and the depends on what license the code the developer is building is using

2) License compatibility is undecided (see eg the different views of Apache Foundation and FSF on the compatibility of ASF 2.0 and GPL)

3) It's easy for someone to deliberately produce code that violates a license. MS is a big target and you can bet license trolls would chase it on that.

Probably more reasons, but there's a good start.
My understanding is they policed it a lot better than facebook does.

> You've declared that the definition is changing.

Well yeah because I’m a language descriptivist, not because I’m authoritarian. All words are subject to change at all times.

> There it is again. "I decided on a new definition. If you don't participate

Read that bit again. I’m pointing out the absurdity of that very statement. You say word should mean X, I say it should mean Y. The argument is not whether it does mean X or Y. That’s irrelevant and just leads us to taking past one another. The argument for trans women being women and meaning Y is the one that’s backed by the medical community.

> Who is "we"? You belong to a tiny minority that has declared victory.

Bold of you to assume I’m trans. I’m up in this thread because I do lgbt activism work and use the internet to workshop talking to people about lgbt issues.

Also trans people aren’t a tiny minority, 1 in 100 is small but not insignificant by any stretch.

> Yes, changing the definition of "woman" hurts women.

It most certainly doesn’t hurt me. Acknowledging that there are XX women and XY women changes absolutely nothing about the women’s issues I fight for. In fact trans women are marching right beside us on issues like abortion rights and access to birth control.

Genuinely curious, does changing the definition of man hurt men in your view?

> You don't have the right to declare a new definition

I’m not, misgendering trans people is mistreatment by the usual definition. What else would you call knowingly doing some that hurts someone else? And that hurt can be measured empirically, the biggest factor in the trans suicide rate is how accepted they are as their gender.

You can call fighting for the ability of trans folks to live their lives free of that harm authoritarian all you want but I can’t see how triggering a trans person’s dysphoria and trauma they were born with and had no choice or control over doesn’t make you a bad person if you do it on purpose.

> And, thus, it will fail.

Wishful thinking, I’m actually on the ground taking to people. The IRL opposition to trans people isn’t all that big and is vastly over represented on the internet and public discourse by politicians angling for clout. Your typical IRL conservative has no issue with trans people. Thanks to the success of the movement and a bunch of trans folks finally getting to come out it’s pretty rare for someone not to personally know anyone who’s trans. And that’s by far the biggest predictor of how accepting and supportive they are.

> Trans woman is the most apt descriptor of a trans woman. "Woman" is not.

If you’re not going to call them women then just call them men. It sounds less silly than “grape soda isn’t soda.”

Of course trans women are different from cis women. That’s why there’s different words for them. They’re both still women.

> The only way to guard against that risk is to replicate and publicize the data, make sure all data modifications are cryptographically signed and valid according the logic of the application, and incorporate into each new version of the data a hash of prior versions of the data, in order to guard against data deletions. In other words, to implement a blockchain.

nothing you’ve described here requires the decentralized parts of a blockchain. there exist centralized databases that have all of these properties, and people have mentioned them in the comments.

As much as it makes me sad to hear about it too, I think it's wishful thinking to say we will regret it. The entire history of civilization is the history of genocide and forced assimilation. Civilization is basically an ever expanding cultural grey goo meat grinder. The Romans did it to Europe and central Asia, the first caliphate did it to (ultimately) all of Arabia, the various east Asian civilizations did it to natives all across southeast Asia, Formosa, the Japanese islands. Every one of us that belongs to a civilization came to be here because it was done to our ancestors. Nobody really regrets any of it, save for some more recent examples and those too are usually just lip service. Give it a few more generations and nobody will even talk about caring anymore.
I (=as the employee of the company) often don't want to bother to pay, because a business case, then getting the invoice right (if that is even possible and the seller allows paying by PO), then getting it paid in time, is often not worth it. Often free alternatives exist, which makes it even more a no-brainer. Never mind that as a whole we are an enormous company but software dev is not core business so really we are a small part of a whole, yet some sellers only want to sell the most expensive enterprise tier.

>Well I care, that does not mean that you have to care.

The point I'm making is that the protocol being implement-able by yourself or grabbing a lib from someone else is moot, since you will 9 times out of 10 use a library.

>Again, look at the lack of client diversity for Matrix and tell me that you do not think that there is at least some correlation in terms of the complexity of the protocol.

The problem is not client diversity for Matrix - there's plenty of them. The problem is that Matrix is more than displaying a log on a screen, and most of the clients are frankly abysmal and could use a trained UI/UX owner.

>last I checked it meant using either Python or Go

The Rust SDK has worked well for me, although I can't state how close it is to Python or Go's libs. That said, I know I'm certainly not the only one using it.

The Rust lib could be wrapped into other languages (e.g, Ruby) if there's not a good SDK for that language. I don't really consider this to be an issue, especially considering the Rust SDK is maintained by the Matrix org themselves.

They do come at a cost, but that's the price of admission for what people expect from modern chat systems. I'd rather live in 2022 than 2004, and I grew up on IRC.
Yes, even Kia. Specific examples:

(1) The front end of the current Kia Carnival looks like a last-model Jeep Grand Cherokee.

(2) Last generation Kia Forte sedan was a essentially a last-gen Honda Civic.

(3) Current generation Kia Rio has the rear end of the Mk VI Golf.

(4) Current generation Kia Sorento has a rear-end similar to the Ford Mach E (specifically the tail lights).

None of these examples are enough to say Hyundai Motor Company is lifting their designs from other manufacturers, but the fact that there is a consistent pattern of design overlap is telling.

Based on this https://youtu.be/C6nAxiym9oc it wasn't even anywhere near that well thought out with SBF. He behaves like a child when asked simple questions about crypto, trying to use double speak to weasel his way out but not even the way a typical CEO or politician might do it.

I think SBF's trick was to just demonize regular finance and to treat all criticism as simply FUD. IIRC they also paid influencers a pretty penny to promote them. It's an extremely common tactic in crypto, basically every crypto scam covered on that channel involves a similar cult of personality being setup as a cover for the scam.

_Well known tech guy thinks blockchain is dumb because he can’t see its value for a private company._

There’s nothing new here. No, a blockchain isn’t a good replacement for a traditional database. It’s a distributed append only database built on zero trust. It’s extremely inefficient. Very few problems require that solution, especially one where a single party would be running all the nodes.
