Also from a legal standpoint, if you end up in court trying to get a restraining order or by pressing charges, it's going to look awful if you did something like this.

Unfortunately, you want to look like a perfect victim if you're going before a judge over something like this.

Same goes if you want law enforcement to take you seriously. It's hard enough to get them to take stalking victims seriously as it is.

But I also get it. The chances of the law doing anything about the stalker are slim to none even if you are a perfect victim.

Everyone is missing the main point of this partnership..

By merging data about every purchase, both Amazon and stripe benefit dramatically from lowered fraud rates.

Suddenly Amazon now knows when payments on your card are likely to bounce because you're at your credit limit, so they can pick the best time to send you promotional messages.

Stripe 'intelligence' can now have a much stronger good/bad signal for every card.

This deal is primarily a data deal, and both parties will benefit to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars.
>> I'm sure you'd be seeing the same results by rewriting the project in modern C++ instead of Rust.

I would personally choose Rust over C++. I dislike the number of gotchas that C++ has and I think the language has gotten too big and complex to use safely.

In the article I linked above, the Google Android team stated:

"To date, there have been zero memory safety vulnerabilities discovered in Android’s Rust code."

Their C++ code requires more static analysis tools and fuzzers and does not have a comparable record.

If modern C++ were as safe as Rust then why wouldn't they just use modern C++? It would be a lower effort rewrite and would not need new compilers.

Investors aren't worried because Apple has shown time and again that they can catch up when needed, often making something more polished than the competition.

Someone also told me this recently, and it makes sense... Apple dominates a market in both software and hardware, and the hardware is the anchor in that vertical integration. It's a huge anti-competitive edge (except that the hardware itself is very competitive) that nobody else has, which Google is trying to obtain with their own phones and laptops.

As tempting as it may be for "management" to imagine a future where requirement docs get translated into code, the actual reality of the opetation will always require a few humans to oversee it.

However, they will still need to retain humans working quietly in the background. I don't expect "management" to ever realise of the added overhead

Okay, please believe me when I say Go Ask Alice has nothing to do with Gender Queer except they have very similar sexual content and are targeted to similar age ranges. Go Ask Alice has been considered historically appropriate for teenagers for over a generation at this point, and therefore I don't really view Gender Queer's sexual content to be inappropriate for teenagers. If we're giving teenagers books where 15 year olds prostitute themselves for drugs, teenagers can also read books where people have consensual sex.

I'm really optimistic about Nickel, which is a new DSL based on Nix (in terms of inspiration) and designed for Nixpkgs-like use, but informed by the designs of other DSLs in the same space (e.g., Starlark, CUE, JSonnet).

One of the things it adds over Nix's design is types (it grew out of early efforts to add gradual typing to Nix). It has a gradual typing system with 'contracts' for dealing with untyped code.

I have spent some time doing exercises and examples in it, first in Nix code and then translating it to Nickel. It feels very Nix-y, in the best way, and I think in the end it will be very nice to use.

Definitely check it out if you have thoughts about Nixlang and how it could be better! Development is very active and the maintainers seem quite appreciative of testing and feedback.

> If you are a guy, ask your sister or mother how they would feel if this was happening to them.

I would change this to asking if it has happened, I'd bet it has happened to far more females in one's life than people realize. But since it hasn't (or maybe it has) escalated to violence people don't think much of it.

I unsuccessfully told a couple people before about a guy that was harassing me in a similar fashion, who 'coincidentally' knew where my parents lived and they were having a rash of break-ins and thefts at that same time. I had the misfortune of leaving my parents house while he was walking by far from anywhere he was known to stay. My place was in a large apt building and would not have been an easy target except for waiting for and watching me get home, usually weekends around 2-3am.

The guy (who was living on other peoples couches) would start showing up in mutual social spaces with new things at that time, clothes & gear etc. He ended up doing far worse to my car and I was getting the feeling he was tracking it since he seemed to know where I was. I slowly avoided going to the social spaces, in return he spread malicious lies about me (which I learned of later after much confusion) causing acquaintances to start ignoring me, to being outright rude without explanation. I no longer saw the space as a social outlet. I told a close friend of mine who dismissed it as me being paranoid. So I told a therapist who question if maybe I had other stressors that would make me not see things clearly. A little while later, I ran into one of the people I would talk to on occasion in that space and he asked me about the rumors, I had no idea what he was talking about. I respect the hell out of him for being brave enough to ask me about it, unlike others who stopped talking to me or became actively rude. My last update about the people there was that he had a falling out with my harasser and his group. They were friends.

How did it end? Haven't seen or heard from the harasser in awhile, I don't know why he stopped, but I know it stopped shortly after I received my concealed carry license and started carrying. This wasn't a big step for me since I've shot guns all my life. I never wanted to keep guns in my city apt. This is really not an option for most women (or people outside the US), I'm quite confident with all manner of firearms and have no issues with the thought of lethally defending myself. That is not true for many females.

The problem you're having here is that you think "border crossings = bad", but that's not really the issue, is it? If a person doesn't live in the US, and is instead allowed to commute to/from Mexico, you get the upsides of their labor without the "downsides" of supporting them (IMO a disgusting way of thinking about it but here we are).

Considering they pay income taxes, sales taxes, social security/medicaid, and don't make much use of US resources, it seems to me that you would want border crossings to increase dramatically, as long as they're accompanied by a corresponding crossing back home at the end of the day.

> with ML models running on devices now, they've found a way to show relevant-enough ads by doing all the "relevancy"

I think you're missing how information is extracted and what E2EE means. Most of the machine learning models work off of metadata and so the actual content of the messages isn't exactly necessary. Yes, they can help, but it is also often a lot of noise. They've probably found and experimented with WhatsApp and found that they are able to extract enough information through the metadata that they can still maintain high accuracy on inferences. So why not make the PR stunt and move towards encryption? It actually does do some good for people (also note that Twitter has been talking about E2EE messages, though remember that they partnered with OpenWhisper very early on...).

This is really the main difference between the technical aspects of Signal and WhatsApp. Both use the same E2EE protocol but Signal does not capture metadata. We need to remember that metadata is essentially all the information a private investigator would have on you if they followed you around but could not hear the actual content of any conversations you had with the people that you meet. But they would know who you meet, how often, where, etc. Metadata is pretty useful data.

No, I haven't and don't plan to take it regularly/long-term. I also don't use it the way it is meant to be used (as a sleep aid).

I also don't drive (at all - this is Ok in the EU). Don't try daytime zolpidem if you do - even the theoretical risk is too much because you are not risking health issues, you are risking death in such a case, also of random innocent people.

Oh, by the way, I probably should have mentioned this for sake of potential reproducibility: I currently am on the daily piracetam + lion's mane + vitamins&minerals stack and I also took royal jelly the days I experimented with zolpidem. Perhaps zolpidem wouldn't cure ADHD and would just make me sleepy if taken alone (the substances mentioned didn't have such an anti-ADHD effect without zolpidem though).

Because you aren't grouping China with Netherlands or the US (which are the countries you are using to defend your rationale for including China), you are grouping China with Japan and South Korea. And the numbers there aren't even comparable.

China has just experienced it's first decline of 0.02%, while Japan's decline last year was 0.53%[0]. The factor of nearly x25 is the reason for why grouping them together seems useless at best and misleading at worst.

> It is material since this whole thing started well before Trump's noncompliance.

If by this whole thing you mean Trump's conduct which is the subject of the criminal grand jury investigation which produced the subpoenas with which he failed to comply, resulting in the search warrant, yes, the conduct started before the investigation of the conduct. That’s... rather normal.

> He was also told to put an extra lock on the room with the documents. Clearly the government knew he still had documents and didn't care.

Clearly, the fact that they asked for risk mitigation until documents could be recovered demonstrated that they did care.

> Why aren't they trying to take back the documents we know Obama still has?

You mean, the ones the National Archives has that pro-Trump propagandists keep lying about to create false equivalencies, forcing NARA to put out statements reiterating that they, not Obama (or, as similar false claims have been made about, other former Presidents) have control of them? [0] [1]

> There are other presidents as well who had documents for decades like Nixon.

Nixon Administration (1969-1974) records were not subject to the Presidential Records Act of 1978 for... reasons which should be fairly obvious.

In fact, the PRA was passed largely because of things Nixon did which there was no law in place to control, and which lawmakers didn't want to see repeated, so they put a law in place.

> My point is not that Trump didn't do anything wrong. Only that other presidents have not been required to turn over a huge amount of documents.

Because they didn't steal huge quantities of government documents in the first place, despite lies Trump's defenders keep telling and NARA keeps refuting, where Presidential library records held by NARA from former Administrations are falsely presented as being privately held by ex-Presidents in order to present a false “everyone else did it, too” narrative to minimize Trump’s wrongdoing.

> Why should Trump be any different?

Because he actually stole a bunch of government documents.

> its surrounding CLI tools aren't mentioned in the official docs.

There is an entire section in the nix manual about them https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/experimental...

> This makes those people look for and create their own solutions:

Also not entirely true. Before flakes there where several projects like niv which are now more and more in maintenance mode and got replaced by flakes.
There was a need for a feature like flakes in the community for a long time and it it slowly forming shape.

> This results in multiple documentation sites:

Yes, like for any other big ecosystem. There will grow community maintained wiki's, opinionated websites, guides and resources. Is that necessarily a bad thing? We can't prevent people from creating them and not everything fits into the official guide especially if it is opinionated.

> Multiple wrapping tools for development environments:

Same thing. nix-shell is pretty basic and does not have every bell and whistle and people in the community build on top of that, create wrappers and new tools and try to build the bells and whistles. Similar things for example happened in the debian community with for example aptitude and synaptics.

> I'm still hoping Nix flakes will become the default

It will and the tools you listed above won't go away. Flakes do not attempt to replace them and what they try to achieve but to support them.
Yes. Regardless of how meek or not, a lot of these kinds of creeps are only big scary tough guys until confronted by other males for their actions.

It's worth noting that a business, just like any other organization or individual, should not be held responsible for the views or actions of every individual or group associated with it. A business's primary responsibility is to its shareholders and stakeholders, not to moralize consumers. Furthermore, it's important to keep in mind that censorship and restriction of speech goes beyond consumer choice and has much broader implications for society as a whole.

It is crucial that platforms like Spotify provide a space for a diverse range of voices and perspectives, even if they may be controversial or unpopular, in order to foster open and honest dialogue and the exchange of ideas. As a consumer, one has the right to make their own decisions, but businesses also have the right to make their own editorial decisions without being pressured by consumers to conform to their moral or political views.

I do not see the irony.
A great mystery of the world is how we came to have so many movies based on PKD stories. It is all out of any proportion to anything objectively identifiable about the stories themselves. Why them, and not Heinlein, or Pohl, or Anderson? They are good, but not exactly easy to translate to the screen. Not easier than other good stories.

It suggests some sort of cabal wanting them produced, and moving in the shadows to make it happen. Of course this is very much in line with the stories themselves, but that doesn't help at all.
Very cool from a tech perspective, I'd love to hear how you are putting these together, I assume there's some breakdown by track that's mixed on the fly but that's a wild guess.

From a creator perspective... meh. Might be good if you're a singer but not a musician, I suppose, and it'll bring the floor for demos up for sure. I'd never use it, because I enjoy the process of making things. The process is really more fun than the results.
