> i don't see what's socially unacceptable about selling Bitcoin to a willing buyer

Well you're accepting payment for something people are expecting to hold value. Bitcoin only has value to a small subset of people with money. I'd definitely judge you for selling it if you have options for financial transactions via SWIFT.
The usual pattern is they blame the democrats for all the things they did which were unpopular.

I hope this fails too. Apple is the platform, it's not their place to be making social/utility apps. There are plenty of alternatives, if Apple really wanted one, they could have funded an indie effort or literally anything other than making a first party app.

For UB detection I've read zig had prime support for sanitizers, so you could run your tests with ubsan and catch UBs at this point... Assuming there are enough tests.

As far as I'm concerned (doing half C / half rust) I'm still watching from the sidelines but I'll definitely give zig a try at some point.
This article was insightful, thank you!
That's a system failure if there's no way to verify just what plane the helicopter had in its sights. If continuing with visual separation in the same place, ATC may very well adjust their language. It would help to identify where in the sky the plane is. Or, if there's a potential for cutting it close, just getting the helicopter to hold back until the plane lands? We wouldn't let a plant fly 200ft above another plane in any other situation

A lot of this is also driven by the government insisting on every modernization effort covering every issue, and then changing their mind when they learn that it will take 10 years it upgrade, so they spend 2 years of requirements gathering to get ~6 months of upgrades, which is basically enough to keep things barely maintained...

I wish this were a laughing matter, but it's not. These people appear to be quite serious and quite capable. There's a coalition in play that includes the Project 2025 authors among others, operating at a scope that a lot of people don't fully appreciate. If this coalition holds together, they may be able to execute what many would consider a rather frightening agenda.

Despite its cheesy title, this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpPTRcz1no ) offers an interesting perspective on Balaji Srinivasan and his place in a larger web of influence alongside people like Yarvin, Musk, and Vance. It's eye-opening. She released it back in November and promptly took a lot of flack from people calling her alarmist and conspiracy-prone, and now it's basically playing out in real time.

Not even that, it's unlawful for another business (Apple or Google) to carry TikTok. TikTok can let you in just fine (what are we going to do, sue China?) and you can use it, the app store just can't carry it. It would also be illegal for Oracle to host it.

"it is unlawful for companies in the United States to provide services to distribute, maintain, or update the social media platform TikTok, unless U. S. operation of the platform is severed from Chinese control."

Wait is the joke that Cadillacs are GM cars?

It's interesting that other car companies have backed off from the multiple brands/badges. We don't have plymouth, Oldsmobile, mercury, Pontiac.
I am not a git fan. After many years (following use of RCS, SCCS, CVS, SVN) I tried it and found that its whole mental model was weird and awkward. I can get around in it but any complicated merge is just painful.

Anyway, the comment I really wanted to make was that I tried git lfs for the first time. I downloaded 44TB (https://huggingface.co/datasets/HuggingFaceFW/fineweb/tree/m...) over 3-4 days which was pretty impressive until I noticed that it seems to double disk space (90TB total). I did a little reading just to confirm it, and even learned a new term "git smudge". double disk space isn't an issue, except when you're using git to download terabytes.
I actually think this is the most likely culprit. I think Tiktok deliberately showed Americans all sorts of videos of the horrors going on in Gaza (which certainly there are) but none of the videos from 10/7. They show us people talking about how evil Israel and us are, nothing about Hamas's actions, motivations, etc.

If they wanted to do the opposite, they could show us videos from 10/7 (there are a lot), talk to the survivors, show us historians talking about Hamas's particularly insidious brand of extremism, show videos of them hanging gay people from cranes, etc. Whatever agenda they want to push, it's clear how they could do it.

I think they probably do this with other things too, to make us hate our government. Our chaos benefits China. I think the intelligence agencies showed Congress data they collected on this.

I admit, this is a giant mound of speculation, but even if China didn't do that, it's quite obvious they could and seems likely they would. Whether or not they've exploited TikTok in that manner is certainly debatable but I don't wish to leave them the option in the future.

This is pretty much the 101 on how to get "caught". It is laughable that they recommend using ProtonMail and ProtonVPN and that there is not a single mention of things such as TOR.

Regarding Proton specifically:

- Proton has been lying about them not logging their users IP and other information in the past. It got caught red-handed in 2021 when they transmitted the data of a user to a french intelligence agency called DGSI. Source(s): https://therecord.media/protonmail-forced-to-collect-an-acti...

- Now they say: "Privacy by default", what they mean by it that by default they do not log the user's information but if an agency asks them to log then they "are required by law" to log the user's data. But the user has no way to know if he is still in the "privacy mode" or has switched to the "surveillance mode".

- It is actually possible that they log everything and use the "by default" wording as a "plausible denial". By saying that your account had been flagged earlier by law enforcement or an intelligence agency.

- All Proton mail traffic goes through Cloudflare. Let that sink in. Yes, they says that the traffic is encrypted using https and that Cloudflare can't see it's content, which might be true. But even if it is true Cloudflare gets to see a ton of interesting meta data, such as the end user's IP, the exact time and the length of what the user is being sending or receiving. Source:
So even if you are in Switzerland and you use ProtonMail which is in Switzerland too, your connection still gets tunneled through an American company.

I would argue that since the dawn of capitalism (whenever you place that), there have been moral structures in place to promote value production and stigmatize value extraction. The precise balance between the two moral verdicts changes back and forth over time. In the USA in the 21st century we seem to have entered a period where the promotion of value production is unusually low and simultaneously the stigmatization of value extraction has dropped close to zero.

I was responding to your note that it is peaceful, not that is or is not a riot.

A gathering where someone dies because of the gathering it is no longer undisturbed by strife, turmoil, calm, and tranquil. It is no longer peaceful.

> ... contingent on the definition of "peaceful" being the absence of violence.

The breaking of peaceful to me is not absence of violence. It is no longer peaceful because force was used to stop the emergency vehicles. Force is one way to be no longer peaceful. In this context, when force is used it implies resistance from someone that was forced to do something they did not want to do (emergency vehicle did not want to stop). It is no longer peaceful; yet no direct "violence" was used.[1]

I can fathom where your response comes and grasp your interpretation, but I disagree.

Is much of that disparity due to economic causes?

From my original citation:

> Among those ages 25 to 54, 59% of Black adults were unpartnered in 2019. This is higher than the shares among Hispanic (38%), White (33%) and Asian (29%) adults.

https://www.pewresearch.org/2023/12/04/wealth-gaps-across-ra...

Many people don’t want to get married until they are financially stable.

(On a side note: I had no idea that there was such a disparity between Black weslth and White wealth and I’m Black).

Ignoring race, but males aren’t doing as well financially as in the past and they may have something to do with them dating less and getting married less often.
I learnt Math by being forced to, in the same way as CS. If I had to learn today or teach it I would start by motivating the subject.

Speak about how linear algebra is cool and the basis of ML algorithms.
If I were to teach algorithms, I wouldn't start by theory I would start with a problem that would take minutes to compute an answer.

I was taught CS in an abysmal way. I was taught system deisgn by drawing retarded diagrams of entities and how long they leave instead of taking an example of some social network with millions of users and having a real world discussion of it before moving to theory. I think professors suck and are doing it just to teach the class and don't care about it.

Number theory - motivate the example with RSA.
Linear algebra - motivate the teaching of the class with ML and autodiff.
Functional programming - this was the worst. I had this class at 18, no one sat down to explain to me why it was just one class after the other of boring theory.
Exactly. There are two kinds of programmers, those who enjoy spending a bunch of time thinking about problems and decisions the language has foisted upon you (subtyping hierarchies, lifetime annotations, visibility, design patterns) and there are those that like spending that time thinking about the actual problem they want to solve instead.

I jest, but only a tiny bit. The features of heavy OOP and feature-rich languages tend to show their value only in really large codebases being worked on by several different people—precisely because many of their features are just guardrails to make it hard for people to code incorrectly against another's understanding or assumptions, when shared understanding is more difficult to establish. Contrarily, any solo programmer or really small team is almost invariably better served by a language like go, C, scheme, or Zig.
This is why the propaganda is so effective.

Even your aligned partisan, who was recently spotted comparing immigration enforcement to "concentration camps" has conceded. The entire story is meant to make you believe that this will be happening, without evidence.

Your bias allows you to dismiss the need for evidence. You are the target audience for this propaganda.
Can i has a stick
Maybe I need to give it another shot, but Zig was a terribly unpleasant language last I tried to use it.

Their motivation seems to justify the decision, but I'm pretty sure this will scare away potential contributors. I've been following Roc personally, and probably will continue to do so, but this definitely has killed a lot of interest for me.

> difference between C++ and C is that the former is a large multi-paradigm language, while the latter is a minimalist language. These are completely different axes.

Edit: oh, I never read the last bit "and memory safe" -- well ya, that's kind of rust's major advantage.

I think a closed door intelligence meeting is unlikely to just be them telling Congressmen scenarios they've already heard. I think they much more likely had some receipts.
