> His lack of political savyness is mind-boggling but then he was hired not for that.

No... I can see something of me (from 20 years ago) in him. Engineer (or is he even a 'real' one given his degree?), male, mid-20s... I don't find his lack of understanding exactly how "political" people and society actually are (and predominantly so, to the detriment of capital T-truth) to be unexpected. People can be, and tend to be, willfully manipulative, and it takes some life experience to get a handle on that knowledge.

In my mid-20s, I was a government contractor working on a large DoD project. Some impromptu hallway meeting with the bigwig PM running the whole thing led me to going blahblah with him explaining how easy it might be to do something he'd dreamt up the day before. I was just being an engineer who didn't understand social systems very well. So a few hours later, I get sort of chewed out by various PMs on our side as this 'idea' which was not in the contract and not in scope was now in scope... Part of the learning experience of how business actually works, and building things (hell, everything) is secondary to profit. The actual engineering part is secondary to organizational related bullshit - always.

Basically, I think engineers need more exposure to the humanities and stuff like this might not happen. That is another essay entirely, explaining how STEM subjects became excessively important since the 60s, to the detriment of society. The stereotypical engineer does not understand social systems very well, I certainly didn't. But at this point in my life, I think understanding them is far more important than knowing a bunch of tech that will generally be obsolete in a few years; understanding how insane Western society is in some respects has become easy.

I didn't read all of his manifesto, it was tedious and I understand enough social psych et al already... There is a balance that needs to struck and all the ideologues on both sides don't care for things to be in balance.

Everything else in the parent comment, I agree with. Now I read that female Google employees may be suing re: the wage gap etc. Hmmm... I actually blew off two attempts from Google years ago to interview me :) I didn't want to go through their stupid interview process and had already had enough of large badly managed orgs (i.e. the DoD). The pay would have been nice though (a joke!)
If it only took an hour, it can't be very type-safe / comprehensive.
That is/could be true for hybrid cars too.
Measurement is a huge value add. It's proof to employers that you know the basics. It's something that you can use to get a job. Learning for the sake of learning is great and all but you also have to put food on the table.

Based on their own reporting, hasn't Waymo been safer than the average driver for a few years now?
When marketing interacts with engineering, it never ends well. And serious engineering tech homepage should advertize sincerely the limits and tradeoffs of its tech. That's how engineers work, and it's something sales people will never understand. We trust techs and people because they explain the limits, not in spite of it.

There's no free lunch. Whenever you pick a technology, understand what are the downsides. If you don't see any, then you probably don't know enough. Nosql is cool, unless you start needing transactions or database level data integrity checks ( hints : you always end up needing it at some point). Cloud hosting is cool, until you realize it's way more expensive for your needs, and that network is going to cost you a fortune. Serverless is great, but then what are you going to do to ensure business rules are exactly the same for all your clients, at all times, etc. etc.
Things are done by teams. They are also done by individuals within those teams, but any given feature is likely to have quite a few fingerprints on it.
I think you are overestimating how much influence professors have (something I lament as a former professor). The high achieving students succeed despite anything their professors might have done or said.

Apple Music is the same. The first time you add it will apply their (shit) deduping, but if you delete and add your files again it will consider your version the "real" ones and upload them to the cloud
Your examples aren't wrong. Spotify is "good enough" for most people.

"so long as you keep all your discovery of new music within Spotify - because you'll never discover what isn't there."

This is exactly the reason we have arguments about the importance of net neutrality - which your underlying point is arguing directly against. Not sure if that was intentional or not - but the music industry is a really bad measuring stick of success in this area.

To contrast to Spotify - I'm sure Disney would be fine with it if everyone watched what they were hosting on their network exclusively and ignored the content on other platforms.

On a side note: Isn't this basically what Disney Life is already? Did I miss something?
> More religious diversity, not just Islam, I think is a gain for Africa. I don't think they will get bogged down in religious extremism as in the middle east.

The biggest religion in Africa isn't islam, it's Christianity. Meanwhile, the biggest religion in Asia is Islam and it does just fine. The middle east's problem's aren't religious, they're political. Nationalism and geopolitical conflicts get wrapped into the most convenient us vs them wrappingpaper available, in the middle east it's often religion. But let's be frank here, Saudi Arabia and Iran aren't in conflict because they believe in a radically different way of religious life.

Your stuff about unification conveniently skips over the part where China sped past every other poor country in large part because it was unified and could move in one direction.

Rwanda is tricky... it's probably home to the absolute worst tragedy in my lifetime. 70% of a peoples was eradicated. Beyond that, it's still dirt-poor, 90% of the population is engaged in subsistence farming, 80% live on less than $3 a day, 60% less than $1.90. I assume you're referencing to economic growth which has been really nice, but it's tricky to see it separate from the foreign aid which represents 30-40% of the budget. It's not particularly hard to improve income levels from $1.90 a day to $2 if you're pouring in $100 of foreign aid per person per year and lots more financing. (a great playing ground for Chinese companies to build an economy indeed.)

Beyond that, there are 25 different countries who've had at least 75% of the average growth rate of Rwanda in the past 10 years, its economic growth has been great but things have actually gotten quite a bit better in Africa across the board. When Rwanda's foreign aid was temporarily cut a few years ago after accusations of aiding rebels the growth rate halved.

I don't see the Rwanda (0.9% of Africa's population) necessarily as a model for the rest (99.1%) of Africa.

Agreed on all your other points.
Yeah, pretty on point (Y)

This is one of the best takeaways from this whole sorry saga.
The pro: There have been significant fiscal benefits - fake personas have been completely eliminated in the welfare schemes that are aadhar linked, saving a lot for the taxpayers.

The con: Government has all your biometrics, and can technically mine data from connected services to build a very detailed profile of you (hypothetically).

IMO, both sides have valid points, and so it ends up being about which side the ruling government wants to fall towards.
I definitely ride my conventional bicycle up to 30kmph+ in bicycle lanes, both separated and beside the road. I think 25km/h is simply too low. I do think anything over 40kmph is getting silly however. You may as well be on a petrol scooter at that point.

I also have no idea why they insist on it being pedal assisted rather than throttle based. The regulation states that you have to be pedalling for it to engage the motor, so you can't just engage the electric motor on it's own.

Such a regulation really limits the possible kits and bicycles you can purchase, as the Australian market seems to be lagging behind the rest of the world and the options are fewer.
$139 a year or $14 a month for an individual license is "expensive"?

On top of that if you buy a yearly license or you pay the monthly license for a year, you get a "perpetual" license. You get to keep the turn current version forever without buying another license.
Lots of people relate ES2015 to giving us a better javascript, but the core language remains the same; the changes are just additions.

Building a tool chain can be an extreme pain in the ass because everyone is still experimenting, and trying to make the web better. Things like web workers, hot module reloading, and code splitting are relatively new, and don't have mature tools or patterns. Yes it's hard to learn, and yes it takes a lot of time, but once you learn a few tools you can keep using them over and over. I've been using gulp and browserify since 2011, and recently switched to gulp+webpack for code splitting, and HMR, and the switch couldn't have been easier.

> Probably lacking the ratio of explosions to character development that modern scifi movies and tv audiences demand.

To be fair, in the collection of stories I would have expected never to be adapted, "Story of your life" is high up there, and yet "Arrival" was a deeply thoughtful film that, despite a few strange adjustments, was faithful in many important ways to its source. (OK, it did have one explosion.)
That was purely experimental though - Mazda's is going on sale to the public which indicates that this is a much more evolved product.

Whilst most other manufacturers have persued downsizing and turbos to get efficciency on paper (at the expense of real world emmissions) Mazda have gone another road with their SkyActiv technology and it seems to be paying off for them.
How to design a unbreakable love lock is not something I can answer. It is something we should be seriously working on.

The problem with any lock that relies on us "flipping it" is that the AI will be able to talk us out of using it. We will have no more ability to keep a super AI constrained than dogs have running a prison for humans.
PC is particularly harmful, since it restricts talking about controversial topics. Most of the other topics you picked has PC problems. For instance, income equality between the genders could be fixed if we recognize that there are innate differences between the genders, and actively work to make the workplace more inclusive to styles of working which would favor the other gender. Scott Alexander also argued that the constant proclamation that "tech has a sex problem" sends a message that tech is not for women. Such unhealthy fixation with "women in X" is arguable harming X's diversity plans more than helping. But this is not an opinion I'm allowed to have or discuss with you.

tl;dr: we need to fix communication which would allow us to fix other problems of today.
The whole purpose of the project was to provide means of identification of people that didn't have any kind of document – passport, driving license, etc.

Identification of people is crucial in regions where some people receive subsidies as ensures it reaches the right people.

It's a shame this platform is being potentially used to violate citizen's privacy. Maybe a EU GDPR-esque regulation would balance the control on where private information is used back to the citizen.
>I wasn't trying to put a position forward, only explain why some people felt so strongly about it being discussed/shared.

I understand exactly what he's saying. I wasn't born yesterday. I reject the notion that policy is not up for debate if you're not the right gender or skin color. I reject the notion that if you don't have the right skin color or gender you cannot put forward good arguments for or against.

>From your comment I thought you didn't understand the parent so I tried to help by trying to explain it differently.

OP was simply patronizing when they wrote: "I've been there myself, it takes a lot of time and effort to understand the real impact of something that doesn't impact yourself".

That you don't see how condescending, narrow-minded, and patronizing that kind of statement is, is your blind-spot.

So why is he referencing Marxism in a discussion on gender? He's not actually referencing Marx, he's just .. labelling a bunch of people as Marxist? And therefore he is "accusing them of being secret ideologues on the other side", is he not?
What advantages does this have over Typescript? The ecosystem and mindshare are overwhelmingly in TS' favor I would imagine.

For compile-to-js languages it seems most attractive to those that use the host language (Clojure, Scala, Kotlin, Haskell, etc.), whereas for would be js expats, Typescript seems like the natural choice given current trends.

I think for a compile-to-js language (vs. a transpiler like Typescript) to take off it's going to need at least:

Tiny generated binaries
Great js interop
Large ecosystem
Seamless cross compilation (e.g. JVM/JS)
Fast compiler

Reason + Bucklescript is the only combination I know of that could potentially pull off the above, blazing fast compilation and miniscule binaries being its greatest strengths at the moment.
>User interfaces are not just forms and wizards.

Never said they were. Just used them as two basic examples, that web UIs still overcomplicate and have problems with.

>You cannot build everything from a high level template. That's why the whole UX discipline exists.

The UX discipline exists for a totally orthogonal reason: to study, understand, and suggest improvements to the design of interfaces (and the resulting "user experience" with them), whether they are made with a "high level template" or not. You still need UX if you everything with the basic Cocoa controls or Windows standard widgets or whatever.

The kind of UIs you can do in native, beyond forms and wizards, the web can't even dream of. The inverse is not true (except if you do your whole thing in Canvas or WebGL which defeats the purpose).

> UNICEF's 1997 State of the World's Children report confirmed that most of the children found themselves in much more deplorable situations, such as crushing stones, scavenging through trash dumps, and begging on the streets. Many of the girls eventually ended up in prostitution.

No thanks, my hands are already full as it is.
The usual rule of thumb is not to modify (e.g rebase) published commits. So it's perfectly fine to adjust local commits before they go into centralized repo - from the point of view of an external observer the history is never destructively modified. This rule can be extended to topic branches or user owned branches with the caveat that others should not base their work upon the topic branch.

Also remember git push --force-with-lease!
You cannot/shouldn't renounce your US citizenship for tax reasons. [0] Every piece of advice you read from anyone online will say the same thing: if you must give a reason for expatriation (and you don't have to), say anything but taxes.

You don't officially have to give a reason to renounce, but consular officials might ask you verbally for your reasons. You are not required to give one though. You have the option to include a written statement, but I'm not sure why you'd ever want to take it (unless you really want to give them additional reasons to deny you entry).

Just one small thing, I have found a few times git rebase breaking git bisect.

Git rebase can create large sequences of commits which no-one has ever checked out, and often don't build -- after a git rebase most people check their new head builds and passes tests, but I've never seen anyone bother check their new history works.

I should add, the fact there's "Nothing to discuss" is quite radicalising. Others can tell people how to think and they can't even discuss it civilly? That seems so against the engineering and scientific ideology we all claim to believe in.

Here is a good tutorial if you'd like to try it yourself:

Editing git history makes sense in several cases:

1. Projects like the Linux kernel which use frequently use 'git bisect' to perform a binary search on the history of project (to find when a bug was introduced), or where the patch series tell a story to code reviewers.

2. Open source projects, where some contributors have terrible git habits that the maintainers don't want to merge.

Editing git history makes less sense in other circumstances:

1. When dealing with less sophisticated git users who don't understand git's data model. About 90% of git nightmares begin when a novice git user tries to rebase something.

2. When it adds a whole layer of unnecessary process for zero payoff. If your developers all work in short-lived branches with clean histories, then just go ahead and merge normally without forcing everybody to jump through a bunch of hoops to beautify a history that nobody ever looks at anyway. Git was designed to handle branches.

I always twitch a bit when I see a 10-page blog post describing a "git workflow", with all sorts of complicated branching rules and heavy use of rebasing. That can make sense in certain specialized situations, but it shouldn't be considered a "best practice" that everybody needs to emulate.

I don't think a meritocracy requires the formal education system we have. I'm sure the top trades people in ancient times were high in society.

Also I don't think we have the meritocracy people claim we have. Being born into a well connected wealthy family is such a huge head start. And some of the people at the top seem to have little merit, for example the kardashians seem to be famous because they're famous. Not to pick on them but they are a public example of how money gets money.
Sure. I don't think anyone here is going to be embarrassed to call it a safe space. But safe spaces protect you from harm from individuals. The idea here is create spaces to protect you from the state.

is there a site that shows an animation for each git command?
This is the type of workflow you get when using something like gerrit.

because gerrit forces every change to be a single commit, you have to rebase, which ensures that the history is nice and linear.

I know there is some people who prefer the "git-flow" style history graph (and I was one of those people) - but there is a lot of advantages to a clean history.

And, yes gerrit can be painful at first, but is a lot better with something like git-review[0], or repo[1]
