> Rust has affine types (can be used no more than once), but not linear types (must be used exactly once)

Obviously it's not part of the type system itself, but doesn't the must_use attr get pretty close?

No, TypeScript is compile time only. There's no runtime type info.

Anecdotally, proc macros just aren't that common. Almost every Haskell tutorial I read introduces language extensions, and it seems like many users have a set of extensions that they always enable by default. I don't think proc macros are really comparable in that sense, although maybe they will be in the future?

These statistics don't include all the discriminatory interactions with the police that don't end in death. Being killed by the police is only one way that racialized policing can have a disparate effect on policed populations.

Hope you have good margin rates, you could be waiting a long time. A lot of these are steaming piles of shit if you think about fundamentals but the market doesn't care about fundamentals.

Just look at the price action on any big tech stock and pretend you're a tech investor looking for a big exit. People are pouring money into equities, particularly tech.

There's no alternative to equities. These prices could continue to go up for years, even if the bottom totally falls out.

Ignoring the importance of the bottom 1/3rd for consumer spending.

Lots of tools built on top of Docker do imbue special meaning in latest, however.

First of all, "Basic economics/psychology informs" does not constitute empirical proof that UHC leads to decreased "innovation" (which is a weasel word in itself).

Second, even if we granted the premise that UHC leads to less healthcare innovation, this doesn't mean that there's "infinite harm" in to people in the future. Unless you're claiming you have a crystal ball, there is absolute 0 epistemic basis on which to make this claim. For all we know, not having UHC leads to nuclear war and we all die. Or, having UHC leads to the singularity. Etc.

Third, even if we grant that there's an innovation advantage to for-profit medicine AND we grant that you can predict the future, that still doesn't mean that there's "infinite harm", precisely because "harm" is comparative. I would argue that we've picked most of the low-hanging fruit of human medicine and that the marginal utility produced by new treatments is far outweighed by the human suffering of our for-profit system.

The solution to "stop the punching" isn't to demand oppressed people not be upset. The solution is to stop punching down. We stop racism by reversing the material effects of racism, not by spreading an imaginary "color blind" ideology. The last thing we should be doing right now is pretending that race doesn't matter.

Do you have any evidence any sub was banned for the opposite equivalent of "Democraps" or whatever? This feels like a strawman without evidence that people were banned selectively.

Punching up vs punching down is a super important distinction to make in these kinds of policies.

> If the ultimate commercial relationship is between you and the hotel or airline when you book through Expedia, then it's just as fair to say that the ultimate commercial relationship is between the passenger and Uber/Lyft driver.

When I book a flight through Expedia I enter a contract of carriage with the airline, not Expedia. This is a contractural matter, not just an abstract concept of "commercial relationship."

I seriously doubt there are many lawyers willing to sue Amazon on contingency unless it's the most slam dunk of cases.
