YouTube has no problem banning content on ideological grounds, though. I remember last year various news articles about YouTube's removal of white supremacist content.

I don't really see why it's important to distinguish whether the content is problematic "factually" vs "ideologically". Clearly there are valid reasons to ban content on ideological grounds but on the other hand removing any content that has factual errors would be cumbersome (or impossible) to do. You need to also look at other criteria to make a reasonable determination.

It would be great if this supported gRPC. Other than BloomRPC, I'm not aware of any tools like this for protobuf/gRPC APIs.

Ethanol has a much higher octane rating than conventional fuel so mixing it in with regular fuel provides for a higher octane rating without needing more additives.

> You don't have to use these features if you don't want or need them. Nobody uses 100% of any language's features, and the subset that is used can be very different from person to person. I don't see that as a problem.

The problem is that other people might use those features and you also might have to read the code created by those people.

> I don’t think my decision changes the macro outcome.

That's quite a selfish way of thinking about this. This is equivalent to an argument I've heard about global warming which is "if China/India aren't going to curtail their C02 emissions, why should the US?"

If everyone thought like you did, we'd all get infected.

I think they mean that if a serious outbreak does occur, people will treat it more seriously next time (not that 20% of the population is going to die from Covid-19).

Small native binaries don't seem like much of an advantage when writing servers. For command-line apps sure, but it sounds like OP was addressing someone who was writing a server application.

You don't even need watercooling for really good thermal control on a desktop. Companies like Noctua make CPU fans that are just as effective, quieter, and are less complex than watercoolers (and I say this having built a watercooled system in the past year).

Watercoolers do have fans, so not only can you run into potential "fan issues" but you can also have a "pump issue" on top of that.

Android apps? How about pretty much any web app?

You'll probably convince more people by citing evidence to support your claims instead of using ad homs.

Well to be fair, the person who responded to you gave just as much substance as you did in your initial post.

It just sounds like you are stretching a bit - you've admitted that you're not a finance guy so it seems likely that you don't fully understand the reasons for why financial systems might be as complex as they are.

Sure, there probably are some areas that could be structured more efficiently (guessing here) but it also seems just as likely that there are many areas that are complex but for good reason.

No offense, but that is a lot of words typed out that do absolutely nothing to actually refute the point of the person you are replying to.

> Surely you're not arguing that the amount of water on the planet has decreased? Or that global annual rainfall has reduced?

No, I'm arguing that you are conflating precipitation with water accessibility.

> There is no evidence of a fresh water shortage.

The UN disagrees. [1]

> We had the wettest year in 125 years in the U.S. this year.

Surely you're not using a one time event to argue against the scientific consensus of climate change?

> Beef is one of the healthiest foods on the planet, and we evolved to eat meat, and have been eating it for 2.5 million years.

What does this have to do with the water consumption used in raising cows?

Your statement comes across as rather heartless. What about those of us who entered in the last 5 years just because they were ready to settle down in an area they liked?

Before WWI, I don't think the world had yet grasped how horrifically effective industrialized countries were at killing enemy combatants. Not just killing either, but being able to sustain bloody conflicts for a very, very long time (being able to "take a punch" - to coin a phrase from Dan Carlin). WWI had many battles that individually had more casualties than entire past wars - it was shocking and it changed people's perception of war.

Does this mean that the vulnerability doesn't affect CPUs that don't have Hyperthreading (e.g. the 9700K - 8 cores/8 threads)?

"sea ice extent" shows up 3 times in that 400 page paper, and those phrases where it's mentioned don't support anything related to your initial claim.

>I remember when it was accepted scientific consensus that plate tectonics was a crock of shit. Didn't make it any less true.

No one is saying science is infallible. It's just the best explanation for what we're seeing so far, based on empirical evidence. Your argument that science was wrong about something in the past does absolutely nothing to support any of your claims - for that you need to post evidence.

>If the data shows that the Arctic is doing fine, then I don't care how many climate alarmists say it's melting if it isn't.

Your own link you posted contradicts this. I'm starting to think that you don't understand the contents of your own link, because it very clearly contradicts what you are trying to say.

>Tony Heller destroys the fundamental deception of global warming here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8RwjYkYCXnU

This is a typical tactic used by climate change deniers. Ask for evidence - when they can't provide any, they distract and post something completely different and try to deflect.

I'll spend 10 minutes of my time watching that video after you spend a little effort and post a scientific paper that supports your original claim.

You are making the claim so you need to show the evidence (especially since it contradicts accepted scientific consensus). Don't be lazy and force other people to do your work for you as you won't have a chance in hell of convincing anyone that way.

What you've linked so far shows that the sea ice level of the past 5 years is well below even 2 standard deviations under the average, which contradicts your claim. Not sure what you were trying to prove by posting that link.

Define "competent manufacturer".

I'd be willing to wager that most front wheel drive sedans sold in the US are closer to 60/40, not 50/50. Pickup trucks (very popular in the US) also have a weight distribution much more skewed to the front.

50/50 distribution is more common for sports cars sure but that is not the majority of cars sold.

The base Model Y (RWD long range) is comparable in features and performance to the RWD long range Model 3. When you compare those two, it's only a 4K price differential (47K vs 43K). It's a bit misleading to say the Model Y has a 13K premium over the 3; that's only true if you compare two cars with drastically different feature packages.

>Go pretty much ate the lunch of C# and Java when it comes to backends and devops

Are you saying that Go is significantly more popular than Java for backend, server-side development? I'd like to see a citation on that, because pretty much any statistic I've read has said otherwise. If you are saying it's significantly more performant, then I'd like to see evidence for that too.

That's certainly what you implied with your post, though.

Honest question - where does one draw the line between what is protected under copyright and what isn't? You mentioned "taxonomies" - what does that mean exactly? Does a single package with one class and one method count? What about two?

DataGrip is essentially a stripped down version of IntelliJ packaged with their database plugin. Dbeaver is similar but using the Eclipse framework instead.

I don’t think “subsidizing” is the right word as the customer still had to pay for the full price of the phone. The carrier would just spread out the cost of half of the phone across a 2 year period.

Nowadays (at least for Verizon) you can get a phone for nothing upfront and have the entire cost spread out over a 2 year period. Basically the same as before except it requires nothing down instead of half the phone value. If anything I feel this method is more likely to get people to sign up as it requires nothing upfront.

The fact that inequality exists is not the problem, it's the severity of the inequality that is the problem.

Take an extreme example - out of a population of 1000 people you have 1 person owning 99% of the wealth, with the other 1% distributed to the other 999. Does that seem like an efficient, properly operating economy to you?

Obviously there is some balancing needs to happen, the trick is figuring out where the fulcrum should sit for the most efficiency.

I don't think the potential for spaghetti code is the problem, I think it's more the terseness of Rust code that makes it hard to read (speaking as someone who doesn't know Rust very well, but has a mild interest in learning it). I agree with the above complaint - it does feel a bit terse and that makes it harder to read IMO.

Languages like Java are more verbose which does make it a bit more frustrating to write but on the flip side I find them easier to read.

The image to me looks like mold growth, which made me think about whether or not there are any parallels between human infrastructure growth and bacterial/fungal colony growth.
