No. This is a very bad summary of what I carefully tried to make, that completely misses the point.

I'm sorry I was not clear enough, but I'm afraid I won't be able to express myself better so I'll just leave it at that.

You are free to make this point if you want, just don't make it look like it comes from me because it doesn't.
Agreed. There may be some older people that are still totally capable. Not everyone's cognitive functions crumble at the same time, to the same degree, or even in the same way. Age limits are a bad solution.
I missed where VAG bought Rimac. Are you sure this is true? Here is an org chart for Rimac Bugatti, and AFAIK the ownership structure has not changed since:

It was PG's pet project. Plenty of YC startups don't use HN anymore aside from their 1 Demo post and on the outside it looks like Bookface and other initiatives are given more headcount than HN within the entire YC organization.
Dubious congress trades aside, congresspeople should not die of old age serving. There is something wrong with people like Byrd and Feinstein dying while serving.

Even without term limits they should have the decency to know when to call it quits and not become a figurehead where most of the work they’re entrusted with is done behind the scenes by others —none of this bullshit whispering in their ear on how to vote.

At least have them have to pass significant cognitive tests by a panel of competent professionals who are voted in by both parties (or as many parties as have greater than 5% rep).

Weekend at Bernie's should remain a farce and not become reality.
Crime is basically anything that's listed in special part of the criminal code (the general part talks mostly about the definitions and criminal procedure and also contains this provision; the special part is the actual list of crimes with punishments which don't have to include jail time to sill be considered crimes).
This is true, but they are also re-elected at a rate of ~80% with no term limits on re-election (2022 saw a 100% re-election rate for Senators despite congress having a 75% disapproval rating at the time).

Hooray for the 2-party system.

This is an approach I strongly believe in.

For 99% of things, language performance doesn't really matter (it's usually cheaper to just scale up). So you might as well focus on developer experience and hire-ability.

For the 1% where it does matter, drop down to something like Rust, and use the developer-friendly language above as glue.

You see it a lot in Python, where the performance of the runtime itself is kinda crap, but it doesn't matter because it's very developer-friendly. It became the #1 language for high performance data science, thanks to libraries that use C and stuff under the hood.

If you're doing 1st-party tracking, and you are collecting personal data for that purpose (which is almost by definition going to be true), and the user hasn't explicitly asked for that tracking to take place (for instance by creating an account and logging in, or by putting items in a shopping basket and expecting them to be retained) then yes you will need to ask for consent to do that tracking.

The test isn't whether collecting that data is required to do your business - it is whether collecting that data is required to do what the user is asking you to do. So if (for example) you are tracking your users to see where they click in your web site in order to improve your web site, then that is only required for your business - your user has no interest in that, didn't ask for it, and therefore must be asked for consent for you to do it.

If that is the case, that means that prices are fixed so either profits will decrease, service will diminish to cut costs to counteract the rising cost of labor, or both.

Companies whose costs can't be cut to cover the rising labor and profits shrink to zero will go out of business.

Why are we mandating that people go out of business when they have people voluntarily trading their labor for a set price?

Why are we reducing the roi of producers of capital which will lead to fewer investments?

Is this a play to reduce fast food for the sake of public wellbeing?

Is there a 5A argument here that the government has passed a law for the public benefit and that law invalidated labor contracts, so now the government owes just compensation for the delta between what their labor cost them prior to the new minimum wage? I would say yes.

I had emailed stallman about this.

My email:

Greetings Dr. Stallman,

First of all, Happy 40th GNUversary!

I was not able to attend the GNU40 meeting in Switzerland, but I have
heard rumours that you have announced that you have some form of
cancer.

Can you give me some more information about this? And is the cancer
manageable?

I hope you are around for many more years.

Stallman's reply:

[[[ To any NSA and FBI agents reading my email: please consider ]]]
[[[ whether defending the US Constitution against all enemies, ]]]
[[[ foreign or domestic, requires you to follow Snowden's example. ]]]

I'm glad you are concerned about my well being.
At the same time, I am disappointed that people are spreading
incomplete rumors, instead of passing along all of what I said about this.
That is going to waste a lot of people's time and concern, just as it
has done with you.

My prognosis is good. I can expect to live many more years.

The problem with term limits is that they don't apply to lobbyists. Lobbyists basically writing most of the legislation is already a major problem, and it becomes worse when all the representatives are new to the office.
To be fair, Senator Feinstein was married to a guy who ran his own equity capital investment management firm so it's not like we can assume her personal wealth is all derived from investing her salary.
I'm aware of that. I have some misgivings about some of the beliefs on what pro-trans means. For the purpose of this thread, though, I don't think the nuance matters, since whether Rowling is right or wrong, she'd be heckled by the students all the same. She was just the first person who came to mind for "controversial people that would be heckled".
Ok, I think in light of this she should really consider stepping down.

Yes but some companies think they need trade secrets and or licence fees. And GPL companies somehow have not replaced them. So they maybe have a point in todays capitalistic world?

I mean, how many articles and blogs are there about how to make money with foss and how many desperation and frustration is around that topic? How many games exist, that are donation funded?

I mean, please tell me, I want to publish a game, how could I make money with it with the GPL?

Selling it to only one person, who then can publish the code?

Having the code open, but serve ads or ingame purchases, rewarding addictive behavior? Sounds not so ethical either.

That leaves only donations and traditionally people do not value things they get for free. Some do and I hope their number will grow. But as of status quo the majority does not. Some GPL games I know make money, because they sell at steam and the users do not know they could also download it. Is that really ethical? What other GPL buisness modells exists?

A game is not a professional software, people would be willing to buy support contracts for.

Having seen Diane bootlick for the telecoms most of my life, good riddance.

Yes, you heard me. I am not even going to pause for a condolance or bite my tongue. I'm glad she's gone. She was 100% unfit for the position in the last few years of her life and nothing was done about it. This is a problem with US Politics, they are too fucking old to represent the actual population so they are pulled by SIGs and lobbyists. We are not accurately represented.

We need term limits in the Senate. She was part of the problem, and the problem needs to be fixed.
I mean, Elixir is definitely not a replacement for Rust. I imagine it as being closer to Node, Python, or possibly Java. And even then, it's a wild comparison, because of the way Actor Model concurrency is weaved into BEAM languages, in a way that no other language does.

For perf optimisations, you have Ports or NIFs (irc), where Ports are just knowingly volatile processes, and NIFs are FFIs, which is an almost universal feature across all languages.

But I suppose your experience is based on use case. And I would agree that commercial BEAM language experience is generally thin on the ground, if you're role is to build an engineering team (though I can't imagine Rust expertise being that much more abundant either).

One thing I would add, is Erlang/Elixir's emphasis on multi machine concurrency is somewhat at odds with the serverless future we're moving towards. But ignoring that (especially with vendor lock in issues), I often wonder why Elixir hadn't put a larger dent in the popularity of Kubernetes. Because BEAM's approach to managing multiple services across machines seems both much more powerful, and dev friendly.

Whichever you prefer.

Did you know the woman who sued so many years ago just wanted her burn injuries paid for, not a multi-million dollar payout?

The coffee is brewed at such a high temperature, it could not be consumed when delivered to the customer. It was a known issue for many years with repeated (broken) promises to fix it. Rather than immediate consumption, the high temperature was targeted for folks to buy it, put it in a cup holder, drive to work, and then drink it upon arrival, by which time it would have presumably cooled to a drinkable temperature. For this use case it worked.

However at the point of sale it is hot enough to cause third-degree burns through clothing within two seconds. If you spill it in a car, your mobility to deal with such a burning hazard is also predictably quite limited. Your clothing keeps the hot liquid next to your skin, prevents the heat from radiating away as quickly, and the seat belt restricts movement even further even if the car is not in motion.

Liquid hot enough to cause third-degree burns in two seconds in a confined space is absolutely considered a foreseeable hazard for the vendor under laws regarding liability, especially after they were given multiple warnings prior to injury.

"But I want hotter coffee, so it's still hot when I get to work," you might retort.

A wood-burning stove in your home is a risk of your own making. A hot turkey is a risk of your own making. Too-hot coffee in your home is a risk of your own making.

Too-hot coffee from McDonalds is a risk created someone selling it en masse to the public.

"Coffee is hot," is universally intuitive. "The coffee is so hot it'll give you third-degree burns through your clothing," has not been deemed intuitive in a court of law. It was also deemed both foreseeable and preventable, which is why McDonalds lost that lawsuit so many years ago despite their unsavory smear campaign.

Life or death. The mindset is that when they retire they have nothing to live for and will die soon after. The personality type required to get to a powerful position like Senator can also (frequently * ) not be able to conceive of a meaningful life after office.
Quitting office is like giving up on life for these people.

*Jimmy Carter is a good counter example. He found a meaningful purpose after holding a powerful office.

This is completely false. You need permission for any data you store on a user device or retrieve from a user device if that is not strictly needed for the execution of the service the user requested. Nowhere in the law is the word "cookie" even used, so your suggestion that "1st party cookie" is different from "3rd party cookie" is wrong. And similarly, this whole thing also applies to all alternative tracking methods, so you cannot avoid it by using localStorage for example.

A 1st party tracking solution is in no way considered needed to deliver the service the user requested. Only things like remembering my shopping basked are necessary to deliver the services of a webshop. And you cannot use that cookie for other purposes (like counting visitors).
Oh noes, a business tracking employee attendance, what a novel concept.

My wife was part of a congressional primary campaign so I got to see some of this close-up. It’s hard to list all the reasons, but there is definitely a sort of institutional inertia that makes it hard to primary someone on the story of merely being the better candidate, unless there is an a prior consensus among voters that the incumbent needs to go.

Some examples:

- Congressional elections are expensive; incumbents have deeper-rooted donor networks to tap.

- Civic groups that are already working with the incumbent want to continue the relationship.

- General voter apathy around primary elections; even regular voters often skip primaries so finding people who will actually vote gets harder.

- Name recognition; if someone shows up to the polls to vote for another ballot item but hasn't followed the congressional race, they'll probably put a box next to the incumbent unless they have a particular reason not to.

I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing -- high turnover of elected officials is disruptive to the system -- but there are clearly cases in which it overcorrects.

You don't need cookies for it, but it very much makes a difference how many people come and read. Optimising the visitor-to-buyer pipeline is an important job for retail. To even begin doing that, you need to know what percentage of visitors bought something.
My problem with term limits is being a politician is a job like any other. You get a performance review every few years. But by the time you get really good at the job you're forced to quit.

If there are age minimums for these federal offices there should be age maximums.
Off-topic a bit, but I've been curious about a 2D pathfinding problem for a while that this site doesn't seem to tackle despite having lots of articles on the subject. Is there an algorithm out there for finding "enclaves" (i.e. places where you might want to place rewards, spawn the player) within a large 2D terrain grid?

Not super precise, but given a 2D boolean array of pathable/unpathable cells, say generated by Perlin noise, find locations that are only accessible via a relatively narrow "choke point". Example: https://imgur.com/a/jFPXlS5

Standard pathfinding algorithms don't provide enough information to do this, but maybe there's some kind of heuristic approach that could work well.
All other things being equal it is in their best interest to re-elect the incumbent. Seniority and connections figure into what posts you get and what influence you have. McConnell's and Feinstein's constituents have an outsized influence on the proceedings. Why would Kentuckians cede control of the Senate in favor of a politician, no matter how skilled, who had zero seniority?

I'm not especially in favor of short term limits, since there is a benefit to politicians with experience. But I'd definitely consider options that better balance their reasonable desire to elect experienced and influential candidates with the very heavy hand that experience puts on everybody else.

If I had a magic wand:

1- One six-year term on the presidency. Enough time to get stuff done and see the results, but then you're out. The current structure gives the American public 1-2 years of productivity, then they go into campaign mode on the tax payers dime.

2- All official party nominees get the exact same budget for campaigning. Creates a level playing field and neutralizes the power of lobbying

3- Congressman, Senators, Governors are limited to a single 6 year term. This will create a lot of churn, require voters to get engaged to understand the candidates better, and eliminate lifetime politicians who will inevitably be corrupted (I'm a cynic).

Need to ponder how to hedge the power of the people behind the scenes who support the office since they are unelected and undoubtedly powerful (I'm thinking about the people writing Biden's scripts, who are they, who elected them, what do they believ, etc.... we know he isn't doing it).
