The point I try to get across is to separate "promiscuity is inherently bad" from "sex can have serious negative consequences that you should appropriately plan for depending on your risk tolerance."

Another way to think of it: it's also highly likely that if you go to a crowded event that there are tons of diseases you can expose yourself to. Pre-COVID, people used to talk about getting "SXSW flu", e.g. with so many crowded events at SXSW it was nearly impossible to avoid getting sick. Importantly, at some times (obviously when there was a high prevalence of COVID), I think this risk is too great and crowds should be avoided. At other times, though, I think it's utterly reasonable to think that the risk of a cold or flu is worth it to go to a bunch of fun concerts. Nobody ever talks about "You know, there will always be a ton of dangerous diseases associated with concert-going, so you should always avoid them."

So when it comes to sex, I find it totally reasonable to adjust your behavior based on the risk at the time. Currently, e.g. for a gay man on PrEP, lets look at potential risks:

1. HIV risk is extremely low for those who adhere to PrEP.

2. Most bacterial infections can be cured straightforwardly with antibiotics.

3. The biggest risks are then (a) lifetime viral diseases, primarily Herpes, and (b) at this point, multi-drug resistant gonorrhea.

Thus, I think it's important to be aware of #3 and to take precautions, again relevant to your risk level, accordingly. What I don't think makes sense is to say "But you never know what could spring up!" That's true, but if you look at the recent monkeypox outbreak, I think a lot of people had the right approach: when the outbreak was publicized, many people (a) stopped or reduced their number of sexual partners and then (b) got vaccinated as quickly as possible.

The primary point I'm making is to disentangle the real risks associated with sex (and to treat them dispassionately) from the the moralizing around "you're a dirty whore if you have sex a lot."
I'm surprised the employees aren't making a buy out offer at this point. I'd love to own a reasonable fraction of the company I work for at that sort of price and would happily throw in some of my savings.

While I understand that "Khalistani" have significant doctrinal differences from "traditional Sikhs", it seems like claim the Khalistani are not Sikhs is like claiming that Mormons aren't Christians. It is a prejudice based exclusion of a group in contradiction of the groups own identity.

I think explaining the differences between groups is totally worth wile, but denying the label seem like prejudice to me.

I rather doubt that Sikhs have been accosted in the US based on being confused with Khalistanis, as few americans have ever heard of Khalistanis. The attacks I heard about all had to do with ignorant Americans not knowing the difference between Sikhs and Muslims.
I’m pretty curious about chess.com’s finances. I wonder how much they’re making from premium accounts vs ads. Can’t seem to find much online since they’re private.
You can add a delay.
Yet, I run a forum with a subscription option to remove ads. About 35% of our traffic blocks ads but we only have a hundred or so subscribers out of 150,000 unique visitors a month with a 40% return visitor rate.

People use lots of arguments on why to block ads and not subscribe at the same time.
I have made the switch to Apple Maps too, why Google seems to be destroying their key products is something I find extremely perplexing.
Stealing 100k USD is a very significant crime, and I find it very ridiculous that you'd compare that to jaywalking.

The criminal was not ordered to "just make art", but comissioned to make a specific piece requested by the gallery - in the form of a frame filled with said money. As such, this is no different than if you hired a carpenter to build you a house, paid upfront with contractual obligations, but the carpenter then just ran off with the money without doing anything. Or if you hired an individual and gave them access to company accounts for the purpose of doing their job, which they then embezzled and ran away with.

The money was loaned for a contractually described use-case with a return date. Walking away with it with no intention to return - and trying to keep it afterwards when sued - is nothing but theft of a significant sum.
Anecdotaly, I find Google Ads hard to use despite their market dominance.

I have been trying to recruit participants for my academic observational health study. My ads get incorrectly flagged as clinical trials and there seems to be no way to reach anyone who could override it. I also wanted to use a specific advertising strategy, which is only available via Google's poorly documented desktop software. Facebook Ads, while far from ideal, are much easier to set up.

Stealing phones for parts is only a “thing” because any U.S. carrier would still block a stolen IMEI. If you steal a car, for example, you can use it to for its primary purpose which is to drive. If you steal a phone, you can only sell it for parts.

I've heard physicists raise opinions like yours (i.e. QC will never be built for practical reasons), but I also hear ones that say the opposite. I'd err on the side of caution.

As for your conspiracy: The conclusion of that would be to continue using hybrid constructions.

Though, and I know crypto more than physics, I'd consider it as highly unlikely. Creating backdoors that others won't find is next to impossible. Why do I say that? Because we have some historic evidence how "NSA wants to plant a backdoor into an algorithm" works. Usually they've been discovered quickly. They can still be successful, because as we have seen with dual ec drbg, it was discovered quickly, yet nobody really cared and industry still used the algorithm.

But something like that won't happen in a transparent process. You can be sure that every expert in the field had a look at crystals-kyber. If anything about it was suspicious, we would know.

>That cut down on a lot of the robbery bullshit, but then criminals simply found new buyer classes - they'd simply part stolen devices out and resell everything but the iCloud/Knox/whatever locked mainboard. Displays, cameras, speakers, batteries, flex cables, cases, everything.

This would be way less valueble to do if the companies just sold the parts are reasonable prices.

The extreme ways fixers have to go to to source parts for legitimate repairs concerns is insane.

NFSv4 did throw out a lot of the legacy stuff, but also added a bunch of other state information like locks and delegation which is quite a bit more annoying to implement. Technically cos this is meant for "localhost-mounting-only", delegation should be easy to build (since we are expecting only exactly 1 mount). But v3 had far fewer APIs to implement, and so is a good starting point.

An interesting part of HFT is you normally do everything on a single thread. Your unit of parallelism would be a different JVM and you want to avoid context switching at all costs, going as far as to pin specific OS threads, making sure your thread for execution is never used by GC.

Promiscuity does not propagate sexually transmitted diseases. You are working off of a false stereotype which has limited the capacity of your rational thought, and as a result, you imagine a world which does not exist, and propose solutions which will not work. This is a common problem with HN people. They come up with this one idea that kind-of makes sense, and then stop thinking, and shape their whole thought process around this false premise.

Did you take a second to google this idea you had to see if it made sense? No; because if you had, you'd have found that HIV is spread by blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, breast milk. People who inject hormones, silicone, steroids, and drugs, can get or transmit HIV by sharing needles, syringes, or other injection equipment. It can be spread through pregnancy or stepping on an infected needle at the beach. It's often spread by not using protection during sex. And straight and gay people both get it.

Gay people do not have more sex partners than straight people. Promiscuous people do have more partners than non-promiscuous people. Gay, straight, bi, queer, etc, can all be promiscuous, just like they can all also be monogamous or even asexual. You may not like that de-simplification, but it exposes the flaw in this notion that gay people are sluts and sluts get STDs. It just doesn't work that way. Safe sex, even if you fuck a lot of people, makes you much less likely to get an STD than if you only occasionally had sex and never use protection. In countries with limited access to safe sex, all people across all demographics contract it. It's not just poor Africans and gay men, despite that being the unfortunately common misconception.

There was a post yesterday about the literal operator (double-quotes around a word) no longer working. I had noticed weirdness like that but hadn't thought much about it. I've noticed a lower quality experience in general searching for things on Google, though, yes.
Google 5 years ago was amazing, I would have never predicted Search and Maps to have gotten worse. It would have been better if they just stopped making changes altogether rather than whatever they are doing now. Does anyone have any insights on why this is happening?

Few people would choose a life of crime as a hobby, or if it wasn't paying much better than an average entry-level office job, so it's not like someone decides to resort to crime and then later considers the financial aspects. Most get into it because of the quick money.

To use a hyperbolic example, if the median profit for stealing a phone would suddenly drop to $10, where their only value are the easily extractable raw materials, a 20-fold increase in theft would be less likely then a rapid drop in theft.

Currently there are avenues to remove iCloud lock, where licensed repair shops or Apple employees remove them for some extra cash [1], so the value of stolen iPhones is greater than the raw materials, making it attractive. But with higher regulation, that could change.

Number of potential users isn't the only issue though. Canada's GDP is ~66% of India's, despite the massive population difference. The potential revenue per user from Canada is far higher than from India.

I wouldn't say they are doing a bad job spying on people for that reason; I think it's more likely that the reason they are spying is not to help children/people but rather to strengthen their control over the people. Knowledge is power and they want to be more powerful than everyone else. I've always assumed that the spying wasn't altruistic but more for selfish reasons.
Of course we do. Thing is these days women seem to think being a wife and mother is beneath them.
In both cases, that's literally just a flag for the in-game camera.
> So while a single iPhone might get stolen, overall there are less if many thieves targetting iPhones.

Do we have data to show this?

I also don't think the risk of going to prison for theft in London is that high. Sure, stealing an iPhone increases it, but an increasing an insignificant risk by a factor of 10 could still leave it being insignificant.

I would have said instead: "The Canadian government guarantees this and the Indian government is alleged to have interfered with its sovereignty."
You are open to rigorous studies proving it is dangerous? This is a safety critical system; the default assumption is that it is unsafe and rigorous independent studies must be made to prove it is safe. You are guilty until proven innocent when making dangerous devices, that is how we threaten companies into not killing people for their own greed.

The utter contempt for rigor and acceptable standards on safety reporting Tesla has demonstrated is appalling. Your average elementary school science fair project is more transparent and robust. I am not joking or exaggerating on that assessment. They deliberately choose to not even publish the number of accidents or the number of miles used in their division operation. It is hard to overstate how ridiculous this is. Even Philip Morris had to try harder when claiming cigarettes were safe.

Tesla’s numbers are total and utter garbage.

But, since you want rigor. Tesla has reported ~350M miles on FSD. They have over 700 crashes with no known survivors attributable to FSD officially reported and acknowledged by Tesla to NHTSA. This results in a worst case estimate of 1 fatality per ~500,000 miles, 10x more fatalities than their purported accident numbers and 120x worse than the average driver who has 1 fatality per ~60,000,000 miles.

I have now provided a more rigorous proof of danger than the Tesla safety report. I have provided the numerator and denominator as drawn from official Tesla and government sources. My report is more transparent, robust, auditable, and conflict-of-interest free than Tesla’s safety report.

If you or Tesla would like to dispute the number of fatal crashes on FSD, then for each such crash provide a report indicating if FSD was not on or all occupants survived. That is the bare minimum level of proof required, which is still less than what Waymo already reports voluntarily without being forced to. Until then, Tesla’s auditable safety record of 120x more dangerous than the average driver speaks for itself.

Phrasing something as a question doesn't make it a question. Re-read your comment and I think you'll see how it does not seem like an honest inquiry, but a rhetorical tactic.
Thanks for the question! We don't typically compare our pricing to GHE but rather to other similar SaaS tools (check out some merge queue providers - which is just one feature of Graphite). GHE has a very different business model - they keep the per seat price low to charge for compute in CI/CD or upsells into Microsoft Azure. As another counterexample, Superhuman is $30/user/mo for an "add-on" to Gmail (a free product).

Every single feature of Graphite’s workflow is optimized around stacking, including:
- Beautiful code review interface
- PR inboxd
- Stack-aware merge queue
- Team insights
- Integration with your favorite tools like Slack and VS Code

Graphite is scalable, and is built for professional software development. Give it a try for free to see for yourself :)
I'm actually not too familiar with git deltas, but that does sound very similar to an Observed/Removed Set, another CRDT.
>I took offense to devs joining the community and nearly immediately proclaiming ‘this is all wrong and you have to do it my way.’ Well, if it’s not right for you then move on, thanks for visiting.

The author has already crossed the part out suggesting to remove GDScript. Which was overblown as it was one of 3 different suggestions.

Either way, even for the rude provocateurs, two wrongs don't make a right. I've follow Godot with a loose ear and it's not a surprise that there are significant performance issues in the engine. I'm glad someone is digging deeper rather than just saying "Godot isn't ready for 3D" and dismissing opportunites to grow.

>If we’re to be so focused on performance then why not ditch c# also and only use c++ or rust exclusively?

Because you didn't get to the part of the article where it is mentioned that GDExensions uses the same api bindings as GDScript. So they are all affected by this, no matter what binding you make. Your only recourse is diving into the guts of Godot and rearranging how it works. Which is first of all, already in flight by the core team (redundancy) and secondly, not a kind of change you can easily PR in if you want to contribute (which is more hostile to the engine than any random post on social media).

And yes, this is the dismissal I'm talking about. "well just use another engine" is a pretty bad approach for a growing community when receiving honest feedback with benchmarks to back it up. The author makes a long post detailing the inner guts of the engine and people cherry pick one conclusion they don't like and want to push the author out of the community.
I don't think you deserve any downvotes, but there is also somewhat of a tragedy of the commons effect at play. I hear people Google "Facebook" to find the Facebook login page. No doubt, Facebook has ads for that search so that people click the right link. This ends up being expensive; people should have just clicked their bookmark, but don't really understand URLs, so there is just a tax on big companies to have that link available. I don't think this is particularly evil, but I also don't think it's amazing. At the end of the day, you're providing value for not making people type "www" and "com", but many think that should just be free. (Of course, before search was integrated into the address bar, I feel like typing "example" in there went to www.example.com. That feature mysteriously disappeared when browser vendors realized you could make money by displaying an unrelated webpage with ads instead.)

Meanwhile the alternative is mobile apps and an icon on your homescreen, an effect that makes Apple and Google rich for taking a % of the revenue from those apps, and one of the largest job programs ever for software engineers.

At the end of the day, I can see why people are uncomfortable with the whole situation, but I also don't see an easy solution. It is fun to railroad rich people in front of Congress, but at the end of the day, what really changes? The rich person has slightly less money, the politicians get a photo op, and some lawyer has a little more cash. Only better technology will end today's quirks. (Remember when Microsoft got sued for anti-trust violations? Did the government end IE's reign on the Internet, or did Chrome?)
I'm not going to downvote you (I can't even), but you've made plenty of claims but haven't got anything backing up those claims. So I'd love to ask for some citations on these claims.

I can get behind "ads keep the internet free" narrative, but it seems rather odd to suggest something that someone who doesn't exactly know you wants you to see is better than relevant result.
According to [0] in 2020, MSM accounted for 71% of new HIV diagnoses, while people who inject drugs (PWID) accounted for 7% of new HIV infections. AFAIK similar stats are also for western and central Europe. These are population-level stats, not relative risks, but If we disregard PWID and scale to population size, MSM are still one to two orders of magnitude more at risk than non-MSM, non-PWID population, so they are clearly disproportionately affected.
