It actually does hint at (the lack of) vendor lock in, when talking about the capability to switch to self hosted.

(for anyone who was confused like me, we know they're using typescript from the `.tsx` extension in the traceback)

Does the AGPL prevent anyone from running this on their own server for themselves (or not, since the source is provided by ddosify)?

As I read it, the working for someone else (a company) is the alternative, for the case in which you can't get profitable in 3 months.

In my experience, marketing does track the cost of user acquisition through ads, and of different ad platforms vs each other.

1. I was responding to a comment invoking ipsum esse subsistent, and it remains true that it is not related to the position of Spinoza being discussed here.

2. According to Aquinas (as you linked), God is "present" inasmuch that God acts on all things ("God is in all things; not, indeed, as part of their essence, nor as an accident, but as an agent is present to that upon which it works"), and Spinoza was certainly more extreme than that. Spinoza thought the world (and everything in it) is a "mode" of God.

Most simply, because they aren't addressing existence of things other than god in their formulation. They're making a statement about God's own existence. Spinoza is talking about (the connection between God and) the world.

That's not the same thing. The classic formulation is saying that for God, existence is essential, while other beings (not god) do not essentially exist. Spinoza is arguing that God's existence underlies all of existence.

Irrespective of the point you're trying to express, it's extremely odd to criticize jews based on a quote from the new testament...

To clarify, there's been previous (official) communication from google about this ("officially announced")? I was under the impression that the only official communication about this was from _squarespace_ a couple months ago.

And yet they seem to still not have released the fix...

Edit: they released the fix today, I was mislead by the current tense "is releasing" in the OP.

On the contrary, if it was real, wouldn't you expect every scorpio to be born in the _same_ month of the year instead of the same _two_?

I'm curious though, how do you handle related forms of a word (assuming you don't use stemming)? It doesn't seem to me that this process would automatically handle that.

FWIW other frameworks (namely, flask) took a similar approach of not moving to 1.0 for a while.

Cloudflare is known for controlling infra, while those Google examples are end user applications. Just saying.

The 2bn from the EU is not earmarked for Evroc, I understood that it was a general allocation (though perhaps they expect to get a lot of it).

They want to create competing to US cloud companies in Europe. If I understand the business strategy as presented they initially will target companies that can't use US cloud for legal reasons, so US clouds can't even compete (so the competition while they get off the ground is small scale cloud providers in Europe), which will then give them a base from which to fight the big clouds for clients.

Quick googling says that AWS, Azure and GCP have 69% of the European cloud market. I wonder how big Europe is for their overall profits, and if this could potentially be a big problem for then in the future.

No, the senate represents the interests of the states. The house represents people (which is why they are for voted by citizens - even when the senate was appointed by state legislatures, and why different states have different numbers of representatives).

I'm not sure really what the question is. In practice, they are voted for by district, so they represent the people of the district...

> So? Majorities are often slim. Just look at US elections. The difference is whether you have majority rule or minority rule.

Slim majorities mean the outcome of the election is not obvious - it's possible that the vote would have a different outcome.

> I'm not switching, I'm just saying it's a partisan issue

It illustrates the point well regardless.

The majority of supporting Puerto Ricans is quite slim (especially compared to the national support). A couple percentage points lower and the majority wouldn't be in favor. So my point was that if you _determined_ the question in a national vote versus a local vote, locals might be quite upset about it (particularly those who lost - if it was a local loss, then they fit to participate and lost, if it was national, then they never got a say).

Although, if you're now switching to argue that the national opinion is _against_ (or at least the republicans would block it), then this actually excellently illustrates the original point that there are decisions which shouldn't be made nationally instead of locally!

Yes, iterative improvement is the goal. But the problem is when everyone in the field believes X and must not challenge it else lost standing etc., then people don't actually delve into assumptions as much they should. A clip on the topic (from several years back) that I thought stated it well:

Just a nit, strictly speaking, the electoral college is just a system where states must delegate the power to vote for president to a group of people (the expectation being that they should make an informed decision to further their interests based on facts on the ground in the capital). It's also a form of indirection: you don't vote for president, the best you can do is appoint people you can trust to make a good decision (similarly, there was originally a layer of indirection for senators, who were appointed by state legislatures, not by state vote). Of course, this is essentially abolished because people wanted more direct control over the government.

Regarding district level representation being obviously a bad idea - not necessarily. Since senators represent the state (and wasn't even voted upon directly by the people), representatives are the way local (populist) interests get represented. This only breaks down once when people start having general party allegiance (both at the ballot and in mind share), which I'd argue is itself caused by the fact that we vote directly on appointments which are far beyond our locality (senators but mainly the president), which then spills over to our choices of representatives.

The point is of course not whether the national vote would happen to agree with what the puerto Ricans would want, but the fact the whatever they want (which may or may not be statehood, don't forget a lot of people there are against statehood) would be drowned out by the rest of the country, and despite being ostensibly democratic, that doesn't mean it (nation vote) is the best solution.

Yeah.

They include both questions like "Now here are some statements which represent some traditional American values... The state of morality in this country is bad and getting worse." and similar "morals and ethics" questions, as well as questions about gun violence and the like. They're lumping them both together.

They say (in the study) that the questions asked about specific things show there has been no actual change, but the questions about "day to day morality" (of which I actually only see a question about people being willing to help each other) could easily be drowned out by the rest of the questions if they showed change.

It's almost like no one remembered the basic rule of statistical analysis - double check (think twice) that the data measured is actually a reflection of the phenomenon you want to measure.

I think it was meant to be https://metabrainz.org/datasets, which is the same as the top level link.

I have experience in Data Engineering and Fullstack Web roles, I particularly enjoy building things people get to appreciate. I'm open to learning new technologies.

The complaint wasn't about the web prefix, it's the ambiguity of the name.

According to that wiki page, the courts eventually did rule that HiQ violated LinkedIn's terms of service, and a settlement agreement was reached.

I understood the point to be that they were exceptional because they were arms of governments.
