“A viper is nonetheless a viper wherever the egg is hatched—so a Japanese-American, born of Japanese parents—grows up to be a Japanese, not an American.”

Depressing to think this is going to happen again, in some way.
I have a good quality "water saving" type detachable showerhead. It's perfect for everything except filling the kids' plastic Ikea bathtub. So I installed (with a bit of hacking) the quick-connect system used on garden hoses on the shower head, and now we have the best of both worlds: using less hot water for showers, but quick filling of the bathtub.

If any of you entrepreneuring types want to make a kit and throw it up on Kickstarter, the idea is all yours.
It's further in the article:

It was largely innocent stuff...[but]...[h]is timing could not have been worse. June 1941 was a low point in the Allies’ conduct of the war. The Nazis, with tank divisions storming across Soviet Russia, seemed on the brink of victory. Wodehouse’s “treachery” became the object of hysterical warmongering in the British media, led by an alliance of the Daily Mirror and the BBC.
The Japanese pre-Cold War were treated unfairly but this pales in comparison to the many hell the Asian region have suffered under Japanese Imperialism.

At least they didn't get gassed like the Jews did. At least they didn't get bayonetted like the Chinese in Nanjing en masse in graves or a military unit performing live surgery on them or forcing hundreds of thousands of young Korean women to sexual slavery.

It didn't help that there was heavy animosity towards Japanese from Chinese & Korean Americans who felt compelled and directly/indirectly suffered as a result of Imperial Japan. There was probably deep desire for schadenfreude that contributed to Japanese Americans downfall.

But all that aside is clearly a small drop in the bucket. The view of Japanese and Asian Americans were explicitly racist. Nazi Germany was bad but the same elements of racial white superiority is a continuing theme even until the late 60s, where African American celebrities were forced to sleep in trailer parks while their white co-actors would lounge in swanky hotels (particularly angering Frank Sinatra).

There has been a miniscule effort from Reagan handing out 20k and an apology for the immense inter-generational trauma directly caused by the USG. There's little apology for Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims. This suggests to me a serious lack of reflection and it's evidenced by the fact that Muslim Americans today are facing a similar treatment.

I love the US but shit like this makes me pause for a bit. However, it still is nowhere near the atrocities committed by Imperial Japan & Nazi Germany. But it's curious to see the stark difference in the way Japanese and German Americans were treated. German Americans weren't sent to interment camps and had their assets seized in the same manner as the Japanese Americans.

All in all, a tragedy and showing that a melting pot we-are-all-americans is a flawed policy-where everyone is American but some less American than others. Canada is no better off as they also had Japanese interment camps and showed little remorse.

Sometimes I wonder as Asian Canadian, are we truly accepted by the mainstream North American society? It makes me question what the Canadian/American dream. I think about just how much easier it is when your skin color matches the mainstream crowd and you don't stand out or have any biases held against you. The Japanese interment camp is just one of those many items that raises existential questions of being in North America, and it's not all that clear whether it's in the rearview mirror seeing how Muslim Americans are being treated today in the West.

I still do think North America is relatively a very accepting and open place. It's hard to fathom such level of integration in Europe or Asia.

Not the OP, but LilyPond is a TeX-like music editor. Sibelius is a WYSIWYG editor. One might expect the author of TeX to prefer a similar approach to typesetting music. Like the OP, though, I don't find it surprising. Writing in your native language is relatively easy. Writing music is a lot harder, especially for an amateur (like me). Using the most intuitive software available is probably a good idea.
> I live in rented accommodation in London and have the same style of shower heads as in the article

I live in Germany for 30+ years and I also have lived in the US for a year. I can tell you from my own experience that US-styled showerheads (ans those horrible temperature selection thingies) are virtually unheard of in Germany. Every single shower I have ever used here in Germany had a detachable shower head.

Ok but first we should rewrite the kernel in brainfuck. No, really.
One of the many reasons to oppose war.

Others include:

+ Control of the economy, price controls, rationing, shortages

+ Suspension of most (all?) of the Bill of Rights

+ Wholesale slaughter of civilian populations abroad (so much for "all men are created equal ... with unalienable rights")

But perhaps the most nefarious is the idea that "we all pulled together and sacrificed to defeat the enemy." The government schools teach the children the greatness of our national effort, priming them to accept the destruction of liberty again when the next war comes. The state forever uses a victory in war to foster national pride and patriotism, as if the society made those choices to sacrifice willingly.

Speak out against the war? Prison. Fail to comply with economic controls? Prison. Don't want to fight after being drafted? Execution. Have friends who just happen to belong to the enemy country? You're a spy.

And then the icing on the cake is when the government steals the money to pay for the war through inflation and currency devaluation through the subsequent years.

Semi-related... I work in wellness and healthcare.

I don't know about you, but I despise filling out the same forms over and over again when seeing new healthcare providers. I'd love to start a service modeled after granular smartphone permissions where

(a) I check in at a new office (scan a code, they scan my code, beacon, something like that)

(b) the office then requests x, y, and z information

(c) a push is sent to my phone where I can review the information and approve or disapprove some or all permissions

(d) a final step of either entering my pin at the office, using my thumbprint on my device, or something else.

The key components would be storing the data encrypted at rest, following HIPAA and then some, having a solid auth protocol (keys, jwts, etc).

I think adoption would be helped because the public are already used to permissions like these when installing apps.

The benefits are a lack of paper trail, no one is going to not shred my SSN, my most up to date data is now available, and instead of hosting N apps/databases, I'm storing 1 and can reduce my maintenance, customer support issues because one for all, all for one.

Entirely. In the vast histories of famines, for example, there were far more times where food was available and denied to the desperate, than there have been times where there has not been enough food for everybody.

During the food cost crisis that preceded the Arab Spring, I and everyone around me in comfortable America ate quite well. If we as a species cared for every human life, such suffering would have been avoided.

I must be missing something, but China is actually doing "bad things" now. The Japanese internment happened ~75 years ago. I like to think that the "West" has progressed since then. (That's not say that everything's just fine and dandy, but there is a clear difference between the West and, say, China today.)
George Orwell wrote in 1946 a reasoned defence of Wodehouse[0]. In particular the final paragraph:

> In the desperate circumstances of the time, it was excusable to be angry at what Wodehouse did, but to go on denouncing him three or four years later — and more, to let an impression remain that he acted with conscious treachery — is not excusable. Few things in this war have been more morally disgusting than the present hunt after traitors and Quislings. At best it is largely the punishment of the guilty by the guilty. In France, all kinds of petty rats — police officials, penny-a-lining journalists, women who have slept with German soldiers — are hunted down while almost without exception the big rats escape. In England the fiercest tirades against Quislings are uttered by Conservatives who were practising appeasement in 1938 and Communists who were advocating it in 1940. I have striven to show how the wretched Wodehouse — just because success and expatriation had allowed him to remain mentally in the Edwardian age — became the corpus vile in a propaganda experiment, and I suggest that it is now time to regard the incident as closed. If Ezra Pound is caught and shot by the American authorities, it will have the effect of establishing his reputation as a poet for hundreds of years; and even in the case of Wodehouse, if we drive him to retire to the United States and renounce his British citizenship, we shall end by being horribly ashamed of ourselves. Meanwhile, if we really want to punish the people who weakened national morale at critical moments, there are other culprits who are nearer home and better worth chasing.

If you need the website up fast, and don't have much experience with dynamic websites, I would go for a simple static website to begin with and then expand it over time.

Personally, I like to go with dynamic websites most of the time. I have templates to help me get going fast and if I ever need to implement some dynamic functionality I can just extend the existing implementation.
While I do see what you're saying, I still have my doubts as to the root cause of society's apathy. In my opinion, it's not a lack of inspirational work being done, it's a narcissism and detachment from community, that drives the attention towards personal goals rather that the goals of the community.

I think self driving cars are a MAJOR leap forward for man kind, and something we all SHOULD be having parades for. If it reaches the market, it will be the most widespread, and profound application of artificial intelligence that mankind has developed yet. Without argument, it will be the first time a machine learning application has saved lives on a grand scale. It may well mark the dawn of the Machine Learning age, welcoming in a new era where software transcends the trivial 'app' in a big, practical way. Think about that.

We can argue all day about why people aren't inspired by self driving cars. In truth, there are probably hundreds of reasons. But, if you ask me they are extremely exciting and invigorating. Uber's PA event was one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
New York City also has famously good water

Not true! NYC does not have "famously good water". I found that out when I had to change my counter-top water filter after about one year of use.

It was more than gross. Imagine having to drink that water without the benefit of a water filter. By the way, I don't think water people drink in many restaurants are filtered.

All microscopic creates are kosher. It must be visible to the naked eye to be non-kosher.

According to Kosher law you are supposed to check your water after drawing it, to make sure it has no insects in it. This is the backstory for the test in Judges 7 BTW.

Now in modern times people expect drinking water to be clean. So it was quite a surprise to find visible insects in New York water.
< this pales in comparison

What would be the point of such comparison? If it is not to somehow justify the acts committed, then it is, no doubt, to try and make them look insignificant, unnoticeable, that is, to hide them.

And what did the Japanese Americans have to do with Japanese Imperialism?
This is the Olm protocol by Matrix, which uses the Perrin-Marlinspike Double Ratchet described at [1], and makes some similar cryptographic decisions to the Signal Protocol, but has a different wire format. As complete protocols, Olm and the Signal Protocol started off close but have since diverged in a number and magnitude of ways that I lack the expertise to comment on. Nonetheless, here's the same thing directly out of both Arathorn and Moxie's mouths, devs of Matrix and Signal respectively [2].

Despite valiant efforts on many people's part to lessen the conflation and confusion of protocols, this happens a lot still, but we can all try to do our part to be as accurate as we can.

"However, it still is nowhere near the atrocities committed by Imperial Japan & Nazi Germany."

The only question I have is: So?

Why do you feel the need to compare what the US did to other atrocities? You can always find something worse to compare a bad act to.

Nothing you said changes the fact that what the US did here was just plain wrong, it definitely shouldn't have happened, and we should do everything in our power to ensure it doesn't happen again. If you feel the need to make what the US did look slightly "less bad" by comparing it to other heinous events in the world, it might be worth reflecting on why you feel that need.

I loved jQuery when it first appeared, but it is from another era, for sure. The rise of the Single Page Application was one big strike against jQuery. Frameworks such as Angular 1.0 emerged which relied on jQuery, and the software built with those frameworks revealed the dangers of mutable state, especially when combined with something async like Ajax. Anyone who has worked on a large Javascript project is eventually burned by mutable state. Then other frameworks such as React and Om Next emerged, which advocated for immutable data. The team behind Angular realized their mistakes and tried to fix them, so Angular 2.0 was a radical re-write of Angular 1.0, and yet despite that, more and more developers continued to flock to something like React. The immutable frameworks offer the idea that all state should be held in a single immutable atom, and the views should merely be straight reflections of the state that is held in that atom. One could still potentially use jQuery in the background to handle the actual update of the DOM elements, but there are many other ways of updating DOM elements, and many of those other methods are more efficient than jQuery, so jQuery's importance has declined.

Back in 2007, if you wanted to add some simple visual effects to your CRUD app, then jQuery was like a gift from God. But nowadays, given the complex systems that people are building, jQuery has less to offer. It never had an opinion about managing state, so it leaves the core question of building a large app to other frameworks, and those frameworks have various built-in ways of updating the DOM, so the ease-of-use offered by jQuery is no longer such a noticeable advantage.

It's probably the fact that shower heads have so much more surface area for stuff to grow on and live in. One minute it's wet, and then it's drying for the rest of the day. A water faucet is less hospitable to growing gunk.

You can (mostly) sterilize your showerhead if you want.

Turn up your hot water tank to the highest setting (150F) and wait for it to finish heating, then just run straight hot water for about 10 minutes.
