>Who is the evil bond villain behind this dastardly plan, exactly?

Idk, maybe start with the 8 people who own more wealth than 3.6 billion people combined? 3 own more wealth than half the US. Probably freaking them?!? I really hope this is rhetorical.

>There's no overarching devious plan to enslave us all, here.

Of course not... Enslaving us is not the goal, just the best means to infinite wealth/power accumulation. The US is built on free labor, from slaves to the prison labor we use as slaves today.

>It's just classic honest-to-goodness incompetence and disinterest.

Laughably naive. You're describing the apathetic's contribution, the banality of the evil, not the people who really drive decisions who rely on that apathy.
In general, when someone quotes a Bible verse, I read the whole chapter, to understand the context. This one seems to cry out for that, because it seems out of character as presented.

Here I attempt that. I think I arrive at a fairly convincing answer.

Luke 22 is the story of the Last Supper. It begins with Jesus' apostles planning the Passover feast. It includes the betrayal by Judas, and the handing over of Jesus to the Roman authorities. Here also are the famous words of the Eucharist.

When he tells his apostles to buy swords, it appears at one level that he is trying to muster a defense against the Romans who have come to capture him. Yet this does not completely make sense. Two swords seems inadequate, yet he says they are enough. And in the next line or two there is a mention of prophecy, so it is as though the purpose of the swords is not really to mount an effective defense, but to adhere to some earlier prophecy. But which prophecy?

(Some people have argued that the translation "sword" is wrong, but I think it is correct; it is a kind of short sword, a weapon.)

So what prophecy is this all done to fulfill? After some research, it appears to be Isaiah 53:12.

It is also worth reading Matthew 26, which is another account of the same events. In particular, Matthew 26:52 is relevant to this discussion: "Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword."

So when we put all this together, what are we seeing? Jesus demands swords basically to be used as props, so that the events that transpire that night conform to the earlier prophecy of Isaiah.

Here we have a real man who is obsessed with living according to the written narrative. The Word made Flesh. In order to bring about good.

I think of left-activists who pay a lot of attention to the Image that they create at a protest. They themselves are probably thinking of someone like Tank Man. Often they bother me, seeming almost narcissistic. But there is an element of utilitarian consequentialism in this too. The Image does inspire others. Well, take this same thinking and put it into Judeo-Roman society around the turn of the millennium -- adapt it to the minds of these people with their religion -- and it makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

This is all about making real events conform to existing prophecy, so that they will take on powerful meaning.

It does raise another question for me, though: To what extent is the sword a deliberate provocation of the Roman authorities? Is this "suicide by cop"? Clearly he doesn't want his apostles to be killed (Matthew 26:52). But is the whole point to get himself killed, to satisfy the narrative? The whole framing is that these events have been prophecied and are inevitable. But are they? How much agency does Jesus have in this scene?
I think this is the section:
"In today’s model, an automation rule that is configured to run in a single Jira project does not count toward the usage limit. In the new model, all automation rule types (i.e. single project, project type, multi-project, and global rules) will count towards the usage limit."
I have two words for you: Cloud Act.

More words: the Cloud Act was specifically designed to apply globally. As long as a company has some kind of presence in the US, they can compel that company to produce any data stored anywhere on the globe. That definitely makes American law apply in foreign countries outside of treaties.

I dont think 'wishing karmic retribution' is doing anything. We have been stuck in a world created in the 60s which is not changing because too old people have too much power and wealth. It wasn't alwasy like that and the current situation is a problem for a number of generations now. Age-based inequality needs to be seen as a societal problem.
Predatory teachers may use this to get some background details on their targets or to identify potential targets for grooming. Luckily those kinds of teachers are rare, but not unknown.

Also, some police are known to be racist, so if a certain officer gets it in their head to harass a nationality or ethnic group, then their unsubstantiated accusations would be entered into the database and this could then affect the families' chances of getting a decent education or indeed, the teachers may decide to not enter them into certain exams if they've been prejudiced by the data.

No. It should be useful, and if it’s not “buzzing with numbers” and causing me a seizure, well, thank fucking God.

Julia is slower than Python for most applications if you include the compile time (which is every time you run your program, because it's "just in time").

edit: I want to be clear - I like Julia, and I have long wanted a scripting language that was gramatically simple like python but had support for strong typing, etc. But the TTFX problem, for me, muddies the waters on the question of "which is faster, Julia or Python?"
An insult to life itself.

> the vast vast majority of people living in suburbs

This conversation is by definition about people living on the margins. Similarly, the "vast vast majority" of people do not qualify for SNAP.

Pointing out that most people don't live on the margins is clever, but not particularly relevant, in a discussion about people who live at the very edge of society.
The ability to accrue miles/points/whatever for yourself is considered one of the offsetting perks of having to travel a lot of work. So strong reward programs for frequent business travelers is indirectly a product or service being offered by the airlines to companies that employ business travelers, which employers implicitly pass along to travelers as a form of soft compensation.

but from what i gather it seems the police in the uk don't do much about them, meanwhile there's videos of them harassing people over much more minor offenses, and lately there was a video where an autistic child said something mild to a english lesbian cop and this resulted in the gestapo showing up at her house.

so is this really over child abuse?

I'm in a similar place and have come to more or less the same conclusions regarding basically just trying to live it up while that's possible (Jim Morrison would say "I just want to get my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames"). The several sigma temperature anomalies this year certainly didn't make me any more optimistic. And I get the impression that the scientists really don't have much clue about how this all ends anymore.

When I first saw Splunk in like 2010 it was mind-blowing. Back then, standard practice was to tile 8 ssh terminal windows and log -f everything I needed. I'm sure it looked cool, but it was damn near impossible to find what I was looking for.
As someone who grew up in the 80's and 90's in America, it's hard to overstate his influence.

This is great! I've been an Elixir developer professionally for many years now, and I love it. (I took my current job in large part for the opportunity to use it some more.) But this scratches the one last itch I have with it. After having a taste of types from Rust and Typescript, I do miss them from time to time.

One thing I really like about a strong type system is it makes VSCode feel like it has super powers, type-checking in line and improving suggestions and all that. Given that this seems to be a somewhat novel type system, what are the implications for editor integration? Will it still do all the cool things that Language Servers support? In other words, is the "set theoretic type system" an implementation detail which doesn't affect the language server API?

The post is great, and I'm still digesting it, but this one part caught my eye:

> In a nutshell, it means we can only compare functions if they have the same bounds. For example, our type system states a -> a when a: integer() or boolean() is not a subtype of a -> a when a: integer().

It's not a subtype right? If a function could safely accept some function `f` as a parameter, then if that function were able to return more than expected, it wouldn't be safe to drop it in. I think the return values have to be more restricted. On the other hand, the input can be more general. This is "covariance" and "contravariance" in types, I think?

But regardless, this is one of my main hangups with dialyzer: its `underspecs` and `overspecs` design gets it wrong. I mentioned in once a while ago in this comment[0] with more examples. But, if you typed it like this:

@type direction :: east | north | west | south
@spec common_wind() :: direction
def common_winds(), do: :east

dialyzer will complain because it infers `common_winds/0` can only return one of the values that it's spec'ed for. (If you have `overspecs` or `underspecs` - I forget which - enabled, which you need, if you want to restrict input types.)

So I guess my question with this approach, is whether you can explicitly spec "larger" sets than is inferred? And if so, whether the given specs overrule the inferred ones elsewhere.

Funny anecdote - "Jira is still growing and I have personally talked to many developers who love it". There is an inherent bias in Hacker News on certain stories or perceptions getting amplified. This is primarily the silicon valley echo chamber.

I have been reading about how Jira is going to die for the last 10 years. It has not happened yet. And I don't foresee it happening in the near future - there are so many competitors in the graveyard: Asana, Monday, ClickUp, Product Board, Clubhouse, and Linear will be next.

Even Amtrak, a government train service with no competitors, has a rewards program.

The part of the equation that I think the article is missing is that air travel is an industry with an extremely high level of substitute options. Rewards programs are there to try and combat the fact that their products are 100% interchangeable and create some level of loyalty.

Yes, they're also a convenient financial instrument, but I'm personally failing to see how that's a problem requiring intervention. Even with these programs as a profit center, airlines are overall some of the lowest profit margin businesses you can find. There aren't many travelers out there who have much justification to be upset about the prices they pay to fly when the airline is only making single-digit percentage profit off their flight.

The article, in my opinion, was too zealous about advocating for reinstatement of a style of regulations that I don't think makes a lot of sense for consumers or the airlines. It's well-understood that fares decreased and service volume increased after the Airline Deregulation Act was passed. Many aspects of the defined routes and fares setups of the Civil Aeronautics Board actively stifled competition by preventing competition from entering routes and fixing prices.

> The Civil Aeronautics Board decided which airlines could fly what routes and how much they could charge.

Doesn't that sound kind of awful? This would be like your local health department regulating the precise recipe of each meal served at a restaurant, going above and beyond regulating health and safety practices.

The article acts like the airline industry is just 100% devoid of regulations, but that isn't at all true. For example, airlines are required to advertise the tax-inclusive airfare, required to refund fare plus penalty in cash in the event of bumping overbooked customers, and obviously long list of safety regulations, and numerous other requirements.
To pile onto the Splunk "love" going on here. Splunk is one of those systems that's too "powerful" for small use-cases, but too expensive for the ones it's really designed for.

Anecdote, I once worked with a client that really wanted to get Splunk, but produced so much network traffic that the discounted annual costs were more than the entire budget for the rest of the organization combined. That's staff, the building, equipment, power, water, everything...the estimated Splunk cost was more than that.

They went with a combination of ELK and a small team of dedicated developers writing automation and analytics against Spark and some enterprise SQL database. Still expensive, still cheaper than Splunk.
I would like to! It’s probably a bit further down the line for us.

You can do a lot to improved deliverability once you approach it at a platform level. We have access to various datapoints at scale that we can use to help individual users improve their deliverability vs working directly with the sending infra. Beyond that, we offer a platform that helps reduce pain and friction that might exist with more barebones, infrastructure focused services.
GPUs are increasingly optimised for machine learning workloads, but they aren't really designed for it on an architectural level and still leave a lot of potential performance and efficiency on the table.

I have a friend who has been the safeguarding lead in a school, it's a tough and emotional job with enormous responsibility. He's found it incredibly fulfilling, but I can only imagine what he has had to deal with based on the few hits we have heard.

My understanding is that the teachers that take on these roles are incredibly well trained, understand the responsibility, and know how to be both discreet and keep things privet. I believe a lot of the information available through this app was already being made available to the safeguarding leads in schools.

Challenging the use of this app is good, that's the role of these origination, checks and balances and all that. We need to be sure it is a net benefit for all involved. There is no denying though that if it helps teachers in safeguarding children that is a good thing.
I also don't understand this. In Germany there's the basic rule to only drive so fast/slow that you can break in viewing distance. Notable exception is the Autobahn. Everywhere else you gotta be able to come to a halt in visible distance. It's not only a rule but very much common sense. Accidents do happen tho and I'm glad that this might push more awareness, more rigor in procedures etc. But at the end of the day all parties are at fault to some degree.

They don't care about mr Brand, R Kelly, Cardi B or their victims. They only care about their bottom line so if negative press comes out then it's damage control time. The accused is nothing more than a liability to cut loose. R Kelly and Cardi B not liabilitys because they're not currently generating negative press. There guilty but no one cares enough to rage against them. So they are in the clear. When the smoke clears for Mr Brand he will likely get to make a new account and no one will notice because they're raging against whatever they read on their social media feeds.

Blame societies social media attention span and business as usual for this failing.
