> I guess doesn't sound as nice. How is this anything but dismissive? Your whole post was insinuating it’s only utility is for illegal things, in context implying that’s what makes it non-valuable. If you weren’t making that claim,

Not a libertarian just a guy who doesn’t agree with every law everywhere. Monero and other privacy coins don’t have a traceable ledger. Now clear this up for me... how do you send a ton of cash anywhere in the world in minutes without risk?

Do you support all Chinese government laws? How about all US laws? Do you support all laws of all governments? Many here are fairly libertarian, at least regarding drugs. Do you agree with every classification of every drug in US law and th

It’s nuts how every search comes up with covid results now. I search for some type of food? Covid. A supplement? Covid. GDP over time for a country? Covid. They put so much weight on recent * news * mainstream. Very black mirror. Even searc

Yea, but it’s a lot better than what’s out there, as far as I know, even with Postgraphile having progressed a lot.. and it is open source.

Hard to remember them all now, but definitely had a number of bugs I've ran into, most able to be worked around. For example a recent one was a huge slowdown in a simple query that should be optimized[0], still have no great solution f

I use Hasura and generally like it, it certainly has some sharp edges, but overall has worked. I think Hasura has much richer GraphQL support, which I pair with gqless[0] to get what I think is a much nicer client side / ORM experience

Check out gqless which generates a full Typescript schema without any need for strings.

Engaging with an argument validates it? That doesn’t make sense to me. Gish gallop was invented to categorize the specific style of politicians and charlatans that will throw out myriad claims to dismantle and confuse conversations with too

by nwienert 6y ago
It’s not a gish gallop, it’d have to be claims not supporting a single thesis or hard to refute. Each of these is a small claim directly relevant. If you could find even 2-3 to refute that’d do. The problem with fallacies is they are not al

The people downvoting should refute, not downvote, as this is just a list of claims. If there’s falsehoods would be more effective to clarify than dismiss.

The second graph I posted is GDP PPP, please tell me how the light blue line is an outlier.

The premise and conclusion are wrong. You want to compare the whole picture not just growth form your arbitrary start at the peak of a mountain (your false framing). And you can just adjust them to the same Y axis, no need for log. We care

You should be a politician! Incredible work. Log scale is absolutely not the right measure, actually didn’t even see that nifty trick because I would never have expected it used! No wonder your graph looked totally wrong. Log scale would wo

Do you think media / social media shaming companies for performing elaborate tax dodges helps or hurts put pressure for political action?

Germany isn’t doing bad. Here’s your same PPP/GDP graph with a bunch of first world nations, the USA Uk etc + Mexico and Russia, last 5 years or so. Please point out the Japan line which should by your argument be an even semi obvious

by nwienert 6y ago
I think Germany taking two decades to catch up combined with Japans higher growth outside the recession looks better, I’d bet Japan next decade based on a lot of things, mostly software and tech. The debt may be a factor, but that’s a hypot

Actually, a decent anonymous single login you could do today roughly is basically TouchID. You’d have to implement it yourself with ML, a webcam and some client side code that hashes it. If it worked well, I’d use it in a snap.

All well and good, still, the perception and reality I don't think match. I've had this conversation many times where people just instinctually cite 'oh Japan is in decline, doing really poorly, etc', and then I tell the

It’s actually common for immune/allergy issues, I did rice once on a doctors recommendation, worked fine.

It was a flippant statement, but it’s still more right than your righteous reply. I have experience here, literally with isolation diets for immune issues on starches, common for immunologists to run, see AIP which can start extreme down to

For some set of people it would be a problem, I think for book reviews that’s a tiny set, not to be dismissive of them, but still. For other types of applications you’d want to have a better system, like a writing platform. But still, ther

Yea, I think it's a good model for other type of companies and have thought of it before which is why I brought it up here, just felt like clarifying it is possible to do if desired.

Communication issue: I'm defining "anonymous to the world" or "anonymous publicly", whereas you're defining it as "anonymous to everyone, even the company". But in the scope of a book review website,

You can do ID (or just validate a few other ways) with anonymous accounts, done properly seems a good balance. Some would hate it, but if it actually improves the quality and the company has some security chops I’d see it as a selling point

Must be pretty slow as they haven’t changed positions yet. My stats show Japan looking the same as Germany last 10 years, and near many other European countries.

3rd highest GDP in the world, wonder how much is just that for their pop size they are already super high. Germany looks almost no different, yet I rarely hear about German stagnation (could just be me though). As an outsider they seem to h
