I agree with providing feedback to companies, and sometimes the court is the correct avenue. You raise a good point about how that can help to further everyone's interests. I just think that there is often a solution that's less painful for both sides before going to court.

I suppose if you're dealing with a large company that has lawyers on staff but doesn't care about user support, then this is a good avenue. Small companies and non-VC backed startups on the other hand wouldn't see it as playful.

So, contextually, I can see a situation where your perspective makes sense. Like those situations where you can imagine a corporate lawyer laughing at you for taking them to small claims over a username. You just need to read the room and know when it'd be good fun vs when it would cause problems.

Oh, and you also need to have enough money for expensive hobbies. The subset of users who are in a position to engage with companies this way probably differs significantly in many ways from the total population of users, assuming a popular product.

> At the same time, a lot of the increase in life expectancy in the EU is due to improvements in medicine that are significantly driven by US-funded research.

Frankly, I don't believe it's true, for two reasons. First, the European Big Pharma is quite strong. It would be more fair - but not precise - to say the rest of the world benefits from the advances made in the West.

As for the second point, it was succinctly put by Dr. Marcia Angell from The New England Journal of Medicine in her famous book. From the blurb: "Drug companies, she shows, routinely rely on publicly funded institutions for their basic research; they rig clinical trials to make their products look better than they are; and they use their legions of lawyers to stretch out government-granted exclusive marketing rights for years. They also flood the market with copycat drugs that cost a lot more than the drugs they mimic but are no more effective."

FP is a way of thinking, which FP languages give nice features/syntax for. You can do non-FP style programming with an FP language.

In fact, many FP language features have been borrowed by non-FP languages to the point people don't consider them "FP" anymore[0]. (Like JS `.map()` and `.reduce()`. Even Excel macros now support first-class functions[1].)

Three features that would make FP thinking in JS easier:

1. immutable tuples and records[2]

2. pipe operator[3]

3. pattern matching[4]

Major epiphany: According to Grokking Simplicity[5], good functional programming isn't about avoiding impure functions; instead it's about giving extra care to them. Impure functions depend on the time they are called, so they are the most difficult to get right. In the end, the purpose of all software is to cause some type of mutation/effect (flip pixels on a screen, save bits to storage, send email, etc).

"Functional Core, Imperative Shell"[6] is probably the most useful FP concept. It is about pushing mutation/errors/impure functions to the outer edges of your code, so the inner code can focus on the "happy path." Complex business logic lives in the inner core; the outer shell is often simple/branchless so unit tests aren't even needed.

I would love for this to be true. Europeans do seem to enjoy a higher quality of life among several axis.

However the US subsidizes European defense (refer to current events) allowing European countries to spend less GDP on their military.

Talent comes to the US from all over the world. That's how it works and has since almost the beginning of the country.

Easier access to capital (and easy bankruptcy, etc), entrepreneurial mindset (less Tall Poppy syndrome), etc etc means business is generally easier in US.

Linus moved to the US. The web was possible bc the internet was funded by the US (arpanet, etc).

Europeans enjoy the Pax Americana without paying tribute to the Amerian empire.

As someone who studied typography, I disagree with many of the 'solutions' this game uses my kerning choices to grade against.

Even in professional
software like InDesign, you can choose between ad-hoc calculated optical kerning and the resp. font's kerning.

These can differ considerably, depending on the intend and preferences of the typographer that designed the font and kerned it.

It will be done in arbitrage before anything like that. It is perfectly ok to sue a business for inappropriate actions that are not clearly stated or wrongfully done. After closely reviewing Github's policy and terms of service. They do not state they will change your username(with or without notice). Unless the account is "inactively held for future use." I highly doubt OP had been inactive enough to be considered a squatter. Either way, Github needs to update their policies describing why and how someone like OP had to have their username changed without notice. If this happened to me with a username that I carefully crafted and was unjustifiably acted on. I would certainly speak with support then sue them if there is no resolution, hoping to settle out of court because going through the court process is a giant pain for both parties.
Using the courts “for fun” is an abuse and misuse of the system. As the grandparent said, I hope people don’t act like this.

Sorry, what? You’d force clinicians to use a specific technology (a specific “how” for finding their answer) and also make them liable for the correctness of that answer?

You seem to have a strange idea about the law if in the same breath as you make something illegal, you sigh with exasperation at lawyers and liability.
Ask HN: How much do you save?
What are your savings goals - i.e. are you targeting a specific amount, or a % of your current annual spend?

Do you tend to spend most of what you earn (short of some pension contributions that you don't really think much about or paying off your mortgage, which is a form of forced savings), or do you deliberately save a lot more?
Yeah, but go even further back in that timeline.

Like 1952 when multiple newspapers have front page news about UFO sightings over Washington DC.

And then in 1952 Gene Pope, a graduate of MIT in only three years, leaves his position in CIA psyops to buy up a failing periodical that two years later he rebrands as the National Enquirer which frequently covers UFO stories alongside claims Elvis isn't really dead, etc. (And then later has Weekly World News with batboy.)

Suddenly no more newspapers will touch UFO stories with a 10' pole and everyone that thinks Elvis is still alive also thinks there's aliens.

Probably one of the most successful propaganda campaigns in history, so effective that even today multiple career military witnesses being interviewed in front of Congress taking their claims seriously and looking to get private follow-up details - much of which alleges defense contractors funneling tax dollars to unaccountable projects - is largely brushed off by both the news media and commentators as "nothing to see."

So yes, sure, look at the timeline - but maybe cast a wider net.

Keep your tin-foil, it's not a conspiracy. Despite the successful system, Brazil has a tradition of charging taxes on every financial transaction, including money transfers. This system makes this type of tax incredibly easy, and such tax has been discussed multiple times. Also, a consolidated report (no information on individual transactions) gets sent to the Brazilian IRS just like the US does with stocks and mutual funds sales.

France has an app in beta right now called "France identité".

It can replace your physical ID but it also has other useful features.

The most useful one is the ability to generate Identity Proofs that contain only the minimum required information to prove your identity.

They even have an expiration date, a named recever and a motive.

Of course the receiver can verify their legitimacy in the app.

No more sending copies of your ID !

I also think one of the features is proof of majority without revealing your identity. Probably made for adult websites because a ruling was made a while ago that they would have to enforce age restrictions better.

During the pandemic society as a whole showed a strong affinity for authoritarianism over freedom if it could be justified in terms of dubious safety gains. Governments and businesses took note of just how easy it was and especially how willing much of the public was to assist the authoritarians to achieve their goals. Expect a never ending series of these initiatives to make everything "safe", that will coincidentally also accelerate the centralization of power over everything.

I'm sure this approach can be applied to some problem domains better than others. If you have a simple CRUD app, then yes there isn't much you can check.

But even there, you can at the very least mock the responses of the database (or other external systems) and check if the data in your response is as expected. Naturally, this works best if you work with structured data or have a well-defined domain. In case of a well defined domain, you can just mock the domain models don't even touch the module which talks to the outside world.

> Second, families growing at more than replacement result in the ancestral land being divided into smaller and smaller lots.

See this alot among the Amish/Anabaptists here in the United States. There's no more farmland to be bought in the places they live, so each generation has the farm split between 4 and 6 sons, and they keep getting tinier. Until, at some point, it can no longer be divided. Moving and setting up a new colony elsewhere is difficult in the extreme, so it usually happens far past the point that it would make sense to split them (down to just a couple of hectares in many cases).

Sometimes when it's at its most extreme, they'll all take their pooled savings and go buy a square kilometer or two out west, but there aren't so many places like that left to buy, especially that are worth farming.

> So if countries like Japan want to attract immigration from here,

Here's another funny one about Japan. There is a not-well-known but peculiar class of potential immigrants. After (before?) a bunch of Japanese emigrated to Brazil. But, being Japanese, they didn't give up speaking Japanese. So they're more or less fully ethnically Japanese, speak the language as their first language, etc. And, as it turns out, many of them would be willing to move back to the land of their grandparents and great grandparents, if there were jobs.

Also, there are jobs!

So, the government initially sets up a program welcoming them back. But it turns out that they aren't welcome, either by elements in their own government, or society at large. They're simply too alien. Eventually, someone gets voted out, or retires out of government, the program is shut down, and those returnees are forced to go back to Brazil.

If Japanese society thinks those people are too alien, too foreign, to fit in... what chance do the Vietnamese have?

I have always wondered if political solutions are really viable when the free market doesn't care.

We didn't have to buy into these products or allow them to take over or lives if we has an issue with ad companies running them. We could simply not use them, accepting the negative impact that will have on parts of our current life. If the majority of our people don't care and have chosen the convenience, and the dopamine hit of, the digital products should politicians really step in though?

If politicians in a representative democracy are meant to represent the people then it really isn't their job to fix this, the people have already spoken. I don't agree with it and do my best to limit my use of these ad companies, but that doesn't mean it's my responsibility to rip these products of everyone else's hands of they chose their own tradeoffs. If Google wants to do this and people really care, they'll just stop using Google and accept that they won't have access to any services that decide to require this kind of DRM-like verification.
Maybe we should use word "reusable" instead. It still carries those points, but does away with suggesting that device may be tossed to the bin once you are done with it:
