>>The argument is that the money could be better spent on lobbying for government aid and price limits.

By whose judgement?

If someone comes to me and asks for money for their medical treatment, of course I'm going to give them it. They need it now, I'm going to help. Or are we going to argue that this money that I spent would have been better off donated to an organisation that lobbies government for regulating medicine prices(while the person who needs help now suffers because they aren't getting the meds).

It just strikes me as such armchair judgement of the situation(not you personally, I mean the general criticism around this).
I won't lie but I lost you in the steps mentioned here. Finally, IMO, people just want auto-fill/auto-logged in instances without having to enter OTP/type password/do 2FA etc. No matter how you slice it, that's the way people want. Now, how do I compress all these requirements within the boundaries of what is acceptable as a provable source of identity, it becomes a harder problem than you describe.

That amazing discord... Does the EU directive about the technical interoperability with some other communication protocols apply to them?

We could start with simple, common, stable in time, open and free (as in freedom, aka no royalties or similar things, even in barbaric countries) communication protocols and an account creation and verification process which works with noscript/basic (x)html browsers.

There is IRC which can be simply extended to perform the signaling part for the setup of video/audio conf calls, I guess (no traffic relays, only direct to direct connections to makes things simple enough, with optional end-to-end encryption). There is also XMPP. And what about SIP?

While this is obviously a (good) joke, the differences between cultures often become unexpectedly important in code.

I remember being about 13 and learning about OO code and reading Apple's (then excellent) developer documentation. It had an example of a class called "faucet" and lots of text related to American plumbing. At the time I had literally no idea what faucet meant (en_gb: tap) and spent about five times longer trying to understand the metaphor than the actual code. It really left a bitter taste in my mouth: I didn't have a clue what was going on, not because of inheritance or Obj-C, but entirely because I didn't understand what the author probably didn't realise was a culturally sorry metaphor.
> That Apple doesn't have a separate, "VIP" review process for apps that are from established, known companies.

Something tells me you've never worked on a top 20 app before then. These VIP review processes absolutely do exist, and any company with an app consistently in the top rankings usually has a contact at Apple on the review team.

Coinbase is a very, very small fry with an app which probably less than 0.1% of iPhone users have installed. I'm not at all surprised they wouldn't make the cutoff for special treatment from Apple. Why should they?
Foreign policy is a national issue handled by the federal government. Small crime like this is handled by the local government.

San Francisco and other progressive cities are getting the crime they voted for with defund the police politicians and lax district attorneys. Not all cities are experiencing these issues. Its a local issue from mid-guided policy.
Here's another absolute claim: there will be herd immunity at 70% vaccinated. There will be no fourth wave. 100% safe and effective. etc. etc. THAT is the language that was used to justify recommendations, and that was the real misinformation. Which you couldn't question at the time, until months later, when it turned out to be a lie.

An intramuscular shot cannot create a targeted immune response in the mucus membranes of the airways. This was known, and ignored, making the idea of getting a shot to protect grandma a complete lie.

The goal posts have moved so much that even the word vaccine was redefined, thus tainting the concept and creating a ton of justified skepticism. Like really, do you not realize how ridiculous you sound to ordinary people, trying to rule lawyer your way past this elephant in the room?

The point about myocarditis remains that informed consent should have been asked for, and that they shouldn't have authorized an emergency medicine when due diligence wasn't done. Quite frankly, I don't believe covid is more dangerous than the jab. I don't believe we live in an environment atm where the truth is being investigated objectively. And this is an entirely reasonable belief, given the undeniable corruption and lies.

Like, you know how it takes 2 weeks after your shot before you count as vaccinated? Guess which category vaccine injuries in the first two weeks were attributed to in many cases... that is the level intellectual honesty we're dealing with here. It's detestable.

As for natural immunity: the point here is that forcing people with prior exposure to get jabbed anyway was immoral and unnecessary. This is the _very important_ point you are missing. And you think you're making sense!

Human rights were violated, in the name of shoddy science, endorsed by people who are much more eager to dunk on the rubes and appear sophisticated, than actually establishing reasonable and objective standards.

Your tax math is wrong.

Assume you make $100k, and your effective federal income tax rate is 25%.

You make $75k after federal taxes and no state taxes in somewhere like Florida or Texas.

In CA - if you assume 10% state income tax - you make $65k.

You have 15% more disposable income in FL or TX.

You need to earn 15% more in CA to have the same disposable income.

The average worker in SF is getting paid 10%+ more than the average worker in FL or TX.

If you factor in SALT, CA's low property tax, prop 13, and the mortgage interest deduction - you're way better off owning a home in CA financially.

And if you rent - the average person isn't meaningfully that much worse off that they're going to leave their friends & family & community for a <5% tax arbitrage.

If you want to, no one is stopping you.

There is nothing about antivirus that requires file deletion block on other processes including the antivirus. For one thing, you just said Windows has a similar functionality available anyway just invoked a different way. Is that a way around Defender? It better not be. If it exists as something you can use, and yet still isn't a way around Defender, then it's silly to even be talking about Defender to justify this 70's behavior.

The understanding of laypeople in how a multitasking operating system kernel coodinates a graceful teardown of a shared resource, or fails to in the case of Windows, has exactly no bearing on anything. Why isn't it exactly as reasonable to presume that "any lay person" would expect that they can simply issue a delete command and it happens, without having sit there and wonder why they're stuck and go worry about other processes that they didn't write and don't have any knowledge or control over? It is exactly as reasonable. And both are pure meaningless presumption, and don't matter anyway since the understanding of a lay person would be a ridiculous way to design the inner workings of ... anything, definitely including an operating system.

These arguments are swiss cheese.

I believe your comment was out of ignorance and meant honestly, but it comes off as a bit flippant. "Because it's not seen as cool" is certainly not the main reason -- it's a symptom of the systemic marginalization and mistreatment women have and still face in so many fields, STEM especially.

I'd edit this. "Most are just fine with limiting speech when it isn't them." The "public good" to, say, Andy Ngo is going to involve throwing a whole lot of leftists in prison.

This whole thing is just about having the guy you like be the one making the decisions.

This is a common rebuttal against any dissent against the insane flux of the front end space and I genuinely don’t believe that anyone with significant experience in software actually believes it.

The front end space is really quite unique in its fragmentation and pace of change. Things are…maybe starting to cool down a touch, but not really. We can talk til the cows come home about how this or that have caused things to be how they are, but simply chalking this up to “things change fast in tech” - beyond just being a thought-terminating ‘shrug your shoulders’ platitude that I’d probably hear from a non-tech family member over Christmas lunch - is really missing most of what’s going on here.
In many cases, yes. But what baffles me is the terrible coverage of the crypto world, even from serious journalists. Stories like the Mango Markets exploit would get plenty of clicks and wouldn't take that long to write ("9-figure crypto bank theft may not even be illegal"). So why are they ignored? And why are so many publications portraying SBF like a misunderstood philanthropist when you could arguably get more clicks reporting on the many fraud accusations?
As others mentioned, there is no absolute safety, nor memory, no anything. The hardware can have bugs, the verification toolkit can have, or the properties to be verified could have been incorrectly specified to begin with.

I’m just saying that corrupting the heap is much easier with Rust than with Java, and there is no coming back from heap corruption on a process basis, while most exceptional cases are recoverable by the JVM (hence the cliff analogy).

And Java can have surprisingly good performance, especially in multi-threaded code that has a non-predictable allocation pattern (where ARC is just not too good) — if you want significant performance improvements you really have to go down the inline asm road, which you can do from anywhere.
In what manner were they doing this? ie. were the students making counter-arguments during the course in a civil manner, or were they attacking the professor in an abusive manner?

I'm assuming what they did was something like write "There are only two genders" in an exam paper as a form of protest. If that's the case then I'd say what they're expressing is pro-social, but they're doing it in an anti-social manner, and should have been reprimanded on that basis.

And, assuming again that that's what happened, then it's definitely not "hate speech" - which is exactly what I just tried to differentiate in my previous comment.

But reading about this case, it seems that FIRE was trying to get TPUSA to be allowed as a student group on campus: https://apnews.com/article/scranton-28d927628ee14bf5aefbaaa7...

The general pattern observed in linguistics is that accents/dialects/languages and language families have the greatest level of diversity in the area where they originated.

E.g. Austronesian is a huge language family that covers an enormous geographic area including Hawaii, the Philippines, Indonesia and even as far as Madagascar, and it contains over 1,000 distinct languages divided into 9 subfamilies - and yet all but one of those subfamilies are found exclusively in Taiwan, where proto-Austronesian first emerged roughly 5000 years ago.
I always assumed it originated with Perl, where $ is for scalars and @ for arrays.

Yes. Although AFUTD is set after the events of ADITS in the in-universe history (so ADITS is logically the prequel even though it was published later), the back story of Pham (who appears in both) is intentionally mysterious in AFUTD, and thus ADITS in effect contains spoilers if read first.

Probably the effort spent on computational photography by phone companies is greater than that spent by camera manufacturers, even expensive DSLRs only have hand crafted debayer/denoise, while phones use all kinds of neural network magic. Even an RGBW sensor with a simple bilateral filter could do amazing things, but I don't think any digital camera has even that.

Remember when Kodak thought that digital cameras are a fad so they didn't invest? Same thing happening with computational photography right now.

"Every magazine and newspaper leaves a stinker occasionally. It's not the end of the world."

May be not but just the same it's an overly-prevalent trend nowadays. For instance, New Scientist is notorious for hyping up stories that amount to little more than our current/general understanding of them—and or the Mag's cover stories or articles' headings are often outright misleading. New Scientist didn't do this decades ago (well, certainly not to the same extent).

Then there's the perennial problem of the sweeping statement without references or further explanation: new phenomena, complex processes etc. are just stated as if it was taken for granted that everyone already understands them in the way we understand, say, what a gram is. This is damn annoying as understanding the article hinges on actually understanding these skipped-over points.

It's not only New Scientist but others too including Quanta that engage in the practice but New Sc. is a past master at it. It seems to me the main reason for this is that the many journalists who engage in the practice don't actually understand the matter themselves and this is why they skip over such explanations (and or they're rewriting stories from press releases without first fully researching them, etc.).

Moreover, either editors are asleep at the wheel for allowing the practice and or they're under commercial pressures to print such crap—profit being more important than science news.
Again, this explanation doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Lab animals in controlled environments are also getting fatter: https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.1098/rspb.2010...
