Fair, another thing I really like is you can do `nix flake show templates` and try to `nix flake init -t templates#trivial` and be like ahh so thats how its supposed to be done or init `full` and be like ok this flake thing can do a lot of things I didn't know it could do, you can then edit, delete and experiment.
It is the language. The module system is both semantically indispensable and a second class citizen. It's another language, implemented on top of Nix. Once you have a userland "if" reimplemented in your language you know you're in a bad place. (`mkIf`)
Maybe lazy evaluated attrsets can help make a dent, but still the lack of static types for module code is beyond painful. It's hostile.
I believe Nix is worth it in spite of this, and I'll advise anyone to learn it, it truly is the way forward, but by god do I hope it's not the last step on this journey. Please, Lord, please don't let nixlang be the final iteration XD
You mean the EU regulating their market, right? I think TFA is about shareholder voting rights. Two different things.
> Norway's $2 trillion wealth fund said on Sunday it would vote for a shareholder proposal at the upcoming Microsoft
annual general meeting requiring for a report on the risks of operating in countries with significant human rights concerns.
The Norway sovereign wealth fund is a large pension fund holding the profits of exploiting their natural oil reserves. It’s not related to the EU.
IMO it's not different, I've been at multiple companies shaken down by these kinds of groups. It goes like this:
1) A) Shareholder proposal bullied through via questionable means like buying votes from index-fund vote providers (or endowment/pension/wealth funds) that put other interests ahead of fiduciary interests.
(and/or) B) Weak but expensive-to-fight lawsuit
2) But don't worry, we have a consulting arm that will do the reports for you. If you pay them, we can guarantee it satisfies the shareholder proposal, and we will drop the lawsuit.
Sometimes human rights, sometimes ADA, sometimes environmental, the playbook is basically the same.
Number 2 would be quite damning regardless of anything else, so if there's a lead for that definitely let us know. Assuming it's just nr 1, though: I think I see what you mean but at that point, I guess.. don't hate the player, hate the game? Bit overboard to call it "extortion".
And, yeah, if you're a >$tn company going into the EU, or even just giving out shares, I agree: consult lawyers :) sound advice. In fact they probably did.
On its face, I don't see a problem. If the situation is as insidious as you describe, I definitely agree with you. But then that's the story. Not TFA.
University rankings have pretty much nothing to do with how well they teach students, only their research output. And good researchers aren’t automatically good teachers ( and vice versa).
I don’t know any such rankings which measure envy, I’m afraid. It’s all based on numbers of papers published, etc.
Do you think people in other countries envy the us college system based on rankings? If so I strongly recommend a trip abroad and striking up a few conversations with prospective or enrolled students. In my experience the topic of cost and non dischargeable student loans comes up often. Rankings very rarely.
Would love to know your reasoning because when I look at SPY there’s quite a few ad companies in there, and heavily weighted, too. Why would Wall Street love ads on them but hate it on openai?
One reason is that it means "general AI" is likely farther away. If it were close, they wouldn't need to spend resources on sucking pennies from their free users.
I understand the need to disclose sponsored content. Or if the manufacturer had veto-power or any say in the content.
I even understand that it is good to tell if the product was given for free or the trip was paid, even when they had no say in the content.
But I don't understand why anyone would need "I use affiliate links" caveats. This is useless info wasting space and reading time akin to "this website displays ads in order to stay alive". What does writing this (otherwise observable facts) actually accomplishes? What benefits does it bring?
What is the difference between those scenarios and affiliate links? They are literally the same to me: kickbacks. And I agree they all are allowed, but should be disclosed. Why do you consider affiliate links an exception to that rule?
The difference is in the:
1. purpose of the mention.
2. Influence on the opinion.
Was it solely because the manufacturer gave sponsor money or was it because the writer is sharing his own personal opinions (and having affiliate links did not change the verdict)?
I don't see a problem people getting financially rewarded for helping people. Actually, I see as a positive. Nothing to be ashamed about, nothing to separately disclose.
In a similar vein as posting helpful videos on youtube/tiktok and not separately disclosing "when my content does well, I receive a cut from google/tiktok". Duuh.
It's pronounced the same only by people speaking English with a French accent. An American, Brit, Indian, or any other native speaker of English absolutely does not pronounce "bit" the same way a French person pronounces "une bite."
Rather than measuring whose French pedigree is longer, I will put down a wager on this. ₹3? :D
