This has been an issue with Meta forever, and they haven't really bothered to fix it. They are still harassing people for using names that Facebook doesn't think people should use.

If it happened once... fine, that's a mistake. If it happens for a decade+... it's racism.

My good friend works as an insurance agent. According to him, insurers are dropping customers based on anything right now. It’s caused chaos in the agency business, particularly in certain states.

My bet is aerial images are just one way of many that they’re dropping customers.

Protobufs are just structured messages. They don't have anything to with language structures per se. They are semantically the same as the TCP header that's written down and agreed upon.
I think the issue is that in some cases the information is inaccurate and there are sometimes limited avenues for a customer to object if their insurance is cancelled based on inaccurate information.

To the extent that the information is accurate, I agree. If you make an agreement with a company and buy insurance based on your statement that you don't have a pool, but then you do have a pool, I don't see any reason why we should be upset that you didn't get away with lying to the insurance company.

TL;DR: Sounds like it is going to be primarily maintenance work going into it, not new feature work.
In some states insurance rates are regulated. Definitely know they are in California.

That said whether the regulators are effective in keeping costs down is a different issue. But my not-very-deep understanding is that risks are rising, e.g. large wildfires in the US West, and increased hurricane frequency and strength on the Gulf Coast, and the only way to deal with that for the insurers is to raise prices, or drop customers - sometimes to the point of abandoning the market altogether. This sounds like another piece in that trend.
As others have mentioned, using SCCS and RCS leaves you constantly having to ask others to unlock certain files so you can have a turn editing them.

Getting groups to move to CVS was hard. Devs were terrified of conflict resolution if they edited the same file concurrently as another dev. Took patient explaining that it would only be an issue if both devs modified the same lines, and even then it would guide you through the experience.

But they did let me, a young engineer, convert them from SCCS to CVS, so yay!

Would it be OK if you were forced to use only the single OS that your computer came preinstalled with?
It depends entirely on what you’re doing in software, but yes it’s true that you don’t always have a delay. Your simulation doesn’t have to involve time at all, so that’s one way you might not have delays. But if you do have a simulation involving time, and your update of some entity in the system can change it’s behavior instantaneously, then there’s no delay. Like I said, in a game you can choose whether your AI has to follow physics or not. It is easy to make a non-physical car that can turn instantaneously. When you do that, a P-controller works just fine. As soon as you make it follow physics, which adds time delay between input and response, then you have to have the I & D terms, otherwise your car will be unstable. In video games it’s very common for cameras to try to follow something (like your avatar) smoothly using a P controller, they are a good example of a very common bit of software that has no delay - they can follow and turn without being subject to physics, and thus they generally don’t need the I & D terms of a PID controller.

> Unfortunately, much if not most of the time this calculation by the worker will be in error. As they tend to exclude the company scaffolding that they are not responsible for but that enables them to make their contribution.

I literally addressed that "company scaffolding" in more detail than you do here (second sentence of the second paragraph). There's no error here though as running the company and owning the company are two different things and while there are plenty of business owners who need to work for their own company to keep it running, we're specifically talking about surplus value after the cost of paying all labor (including your own, at market rate), i.e. what ends up either being reinvested at the end of the fiscal year or drained by the owners/shareholders as dividends. You may need someone to run the business side of things, you don't need that person to also own the company, be able to drain any profits and fire you at will.

> If group ownership is important, workers can certainly begin a business with that in mind.

We like to proudly talk about individualism when it comes to seeking praise for personal achievements but times like this demonstrate how it can blind us to systems thinking. Yes, you can create a worker cooperative. And yes, you can be a business owner who tries to be "fair" to their workers. But you exist in competition with other businesses who don't engage in such "waste" and you compete in a system where the "benefits" of such an approach are considered externalities and have no direct value (even if you try to argue it's "positive PR" that will only get you so far). In other words, the system disincentivizes and actively punishes redistributing surplus value to your (co-)workers - because it's literally based on profit-seeking (i.e. maximizing that surplus).

> Asset ownership being the key to legal and ethical economic success in this world.

Yes, and asset ownership is only attainable if you have the necessary capital to buy assets. Being self-employed won't get you far because you're still selling your labor for money (just with fewer middlemen but in practice not really) and if everyone owned their own business that's all they'd accomplish. If you want to be economically successful from asset ownership rather than labor, you want your "asset" to "do the work for you" (i.e. passive income). But in real-world terms this ultimately means you need to get a cut (i.e. profit) from someone else's labor (and they therefore can't take this advice or else they wouldn't be in that position for you).

I'm a business owner. I've been at various stages self-employed, an employer and a business owner using external freelancers and subcontractors. But I have no illusions that essentially the easiest "legal and ethical" economic success I've seen involved little more than either rent seeking (i.e. being paid for continuous usage of something you already built/bought) or scalping (i.e. selling something someone else made/did at an inflated price and pocketing the difference).
That's fascinating. Sadly, based on the quality of software engineering I've witnessed (and produced) over my career, if I were to find myself having to trust my life with any of it, I would be terrified.

The post isn't specific to needing SQLite. Rather it's about the convenience of expressing an algorithm as a query and then using SQLite to execute the query.

I agree; queries are why table semantics are so useful. Whether you choose an SQL implementation (e.g., DuckDB and SQLite) or a dataframe library (e.g., pandas and polars), expressing searches, joins, and aggregations becomes trivial for tabular data.
> Not "any business", only a business that offers a hosted version of the software. AWS has a problem offering a hosted Redis service, but no one who self-hosts (including running it on a cloud) is affected.

Does "hosted version of the software" mean that the hosted service has to exactly match the API semantics to count? Or does it mean any service that's semantically similar (and powered by) the software (e.g. simply storing and retrieving data on a user's behalf)?

Or does it mean something else?

Where is this actually defined?
It has cultural significance and leaks information. People sharing the same "family name" are presumed to be family. Patronymics show in which way people are related (whether or not certain two people are father and child). Some names in some countries also leak gender and sometimes also martial status. Spliting the name into "given name" and "family" name allows people to change family name to signal significant changes (e.g. marriage) happened.

You could of course say it's irrelevant and should not happen, but it's fun and people like this kind of fun.

Whenever they talk about people in the food industry, they list their country of birth or their family origin. With the arguable exception of that last example, I'm not sure I understand why doing so is relevant. Is there a political or national component to this case of trademark bullying? If so, the article ought to inform me about it. Would the grounds for trademark infringement be different if either party were born in different countries? My assumption is no, so it feels like an odd and purposefully preoccupation on the part of The Guardian. Do they do this for all articles?

> It such an oversight on the part of NASA, it borders on intentional.

This is why you are being downvoted. You clearly do not understand the difficulty of these achievements. Yet you claim NASA is incompetent for doing something literally nobody has ever done before.

A color camera has no scientific value so they didn’t send one. It’s that simple.

Assuming you know more than NASA is rightfully going to earn downvotes. You don’t know more than NASA.

Approach this with an open mind and some curiosity and you’ll get a much warmer response. You might even learn something.

I once tried to open a bank account in Spain, which could not be done because I did not have a second last name. Spanish babies receive the last names of both parents.

The employee was trying her best and I eventually suggested she could put my last name twice. She made a face for an instant then said she was not allowed to do that.

I later understood that the face was because having two identical last names suggests inbreeding or incest... I am sure there are plenty of jokes about that in Spanish culture. lol.

I never managed to open the account and in the end had to go to a different bank.

This might seem like a weird question, but have you ever had distortions in your sense of the size of features of your face? I remember a very strange feeling as a child about my sense of scale when I was dreaming or asleep. Feeling like I was minuscule while in the presence of something very big. Later in adult life I found I distort my sensory perception of my facial features, ie make my lips or cheeks feel gigantic, by pressing a very particular part of my face into the pillow at the correct angle. This sensation seemed to feel similar to one I experienced as a child.

I also have or have had the ability to do other sensory overrides like distorting my sense of physical space, ie warp the bounds of my room while I stare at ceiling in bed. It’s not really a visual thing, but it makes me think of the spoon bending scene in the matrix.

They can generally decline coverage for any reason, for what it's worth; they could cancel without aerial footage just on the hunch that you didn't replace your roof, or they could mass-mail their customers demanding proof of roof replacements.

(The article and other things I'm reading suggest that cancellations are because footage finds trampolines and pools --- in which case I don't even understand how anybody can have sympathy. It's fine to have insurance risks on your property! But disclose them!)
