This attitude is even more stark in the Justice system. It's way cheaper to buy a homeless person a sandwich than to jail them for 5 years after they steal one. (A real situation, per a DA friend of mine, thanks to mandatory minimums and 3 strike laws.) You see the same thing with drugs: we prefer lengthy, expensive jail sentences to lengthy, expensive treatment.

Why are people more willing to fund punitive programs than assistance programs that could preempt crimes? I have several theories:

1. Post hoc measures are more inherently more certain. You know that the treatment is being applied in the specific cases you want. With prevention it's impossible to know if any given intervention accomplished something, and very difficult to assess if the overall program is effective.

2. The USA specifically has a strong individualist streak. This has roots in a combination of (1) the cowboy myth / fronteir legacy of relatively infinite living space, (2) Protestant Christianity, (3) capitalism, especially post WW2 consumerism.

I recently heard a talk that argued that Regan synthesized these very effectively, pushing us forward from the Great Society era, which was more collectivist. The emphasis on individualism created contrast with the communist Soviet Union.
The ACA is a huge failure.

it massively increased everyone's premiums and deductible, and made it more or less impossible for many poor people to afford private insurance. If you ask many americans here how much they pay per month and how large their deductible is, you'll realize Obamacare actually wound up being absurdly expensive catastrophic insurance instead of universal coverage.

Privilege is one thing, while invalidating someone's argument or, more accurately, squelching it through intimidation, based on some non-essential element of their being is the most appalling behavior in the US. They've been doing it for centuries. This is the first time, however, that the supposed 'enlightened elite' (the urban left) has jumped on the bandwagon of self-righteous prejudice enforced through violence and intimidation. Shame on y'all.

It's cannibalizing the left.
I've used Jira for about two and a half years and although it wasn't that bad for us, I can see how it might not be a good fit for every team.

6 Simple Tips on How to Start Writing Clean Code

Are you asserting 'Islam is political' as in, Muslim citizens participate in civic duties of the land they call home? If yes, then you're correct. However, if you think Islam not being just a religion, is there to "take over" and "subjugate" then that's not only incorrect but instigating fear. The typical 'separation of Church and State' does not apply to Islam because there is no Church in Islam. What does apply is the Balance between person's Material World and Spiritual Faith (duties to the world she cohabits, and duty to the faith she follows) which by the way, has no clash. One cannot separate the two into different compartments. It may be a difficult concept to understand under a Christian lense.

>arguments based on identity aren't ad-hominem

Well here's the problem. Arguments that discredit another perspective based on the identity of who is making it are ad hominem. Arguments about the discursive process itself that address representation of various identities aren't. For example, if you tell me that privilege prevents minority voices from contributing to a national dialogue on poverty alleviation, I would agree. But that's not how people use identity in most online or casual arguments. They use identity to directly discredit and silence their opponents. Telling others to shut up isn't a good faith starting point for a productive conversation. That approach is based on an unrealistic, zero sum interpretation of how people interact, where it's only possible for one person to speak on any given subject. Getting more black people involved in a conversation on race doesn't mean silencing all the white people. Yet that's where these conversations often progress to. It's extraordinarily unpleasant to experience and completely useless for fostering dialogue.

I agree with you. I see two threads of meritocracy in American life:

1. The meritocracy tied into Christian belief - that person has sinned (whatever you interpret sin to be), therefore of course their life is like that.

2. The ignorance of never having experienced a life where your merit doesn't influence your personal success. One sickness, accident, etc, usually starts to 'cure' this mindset.
2000 was probably too late. Linux was already being widely used for Internet infrastructure and IBM was in the process of embracing it.

There were opportunities for the operating system space to play out differently--which in turn could have changed a lot of industry dynamics--but those scenarios are things like:

1.) BSD coalescing earlier and somehow avoiding the legal issues with AT&T. (And I'm not sure to what degree this would have changed the final outcome with BSD substituted for Linux.)

2.) Sun open sourcing Solaris earlier in a surprise move against Windows NT. (Hard to see this happening.)

People used to design for desktop first, then port to mobile as an afterthought. Originally, there was only desktop, and mobile was a completely different and separate thing. Then mobile got more capable, and by necessity (since everything was designed for desktop) mobile tried to be a small desktop.

Mobile was limited, and trying to be a small desktop didn't work out that well. So people switched gears and said "Well, let's treat everything as mobile first, and let desktop adapt because it's more powerful." So we began the mobile-first trend.

But in the meantime mobile has gotten much more powerful and less limited; today many mobile devices have higher resolution and more powerful cpus than the old desktops had. The screens have also gotten a lot larger than they were when mobile-first started.

So, I think we'll either wind up with a "tablet-first" trend, designing for the middle-ground and making both the smaller mobile and larger desktop adapt, or we'll go back to recognizing that mobile, tablet, and desktop needs are different and we'll design accordingly for each, but now with a better understanding and better toolset for minimizing the redundancy that can occur with split designs.
The worst thing they can do is keep on maintaining it so people still have to use it.
> main proponents of WebComponents cannot build proper WebComponents (and no one can):

I've a vested interest as I run the team that Rob is on, I feel like there is a lot being misconstrued here in this thread, x-tags is be on the list of supported resources on webcomponents.org. If there are only two elements on the list it's not because it's "polymer only" and run by the Chrome team. I've launched a couple of elements using plain JS and there are others on there too, it's just that many of the elements created use Polymer, and that is probably a good indicator of how popular the tooling is in the component ecosystem.

Rob didn't say no one can build proper web components, he was saying that to build great web components there is a lot of work that you have to do especially to make them accessible and good actors in the life-cycle of a page and that many of the spec authors hadn't seen them being built as a canonical reference set. Of course people can build proper web components, but it is on us to explain it clearly now that the browser support is mostly there.

You get a small set of APIs that allow you to encapsulate, so what, encapsulation never was the problem. Now how do you bind, how does the UI react to store changes, how do you bring state managers into this, etc. We'd be in 2010 fighting the naked dom all over again.

As for optimization, vanilla won't be faster than a framework unless you write one from scratch. That means having a scheduler in place that orders dom read/writes, pooled events listening from a single source (the main document), a prioritizer that can cull, something that diffs state in order to render the minimal set of components, etc. Many don't realize the effort that goes into these libs to render as efficient as possible. Even if some stuff is baked into the browser, the field is moving so fast that we get higher benefits from community driven optimizations. And that is an understatement if you look at things like React Fiber.

I am not American, but follow their politics closely and I think that many people over there became convinced over years of massaging that they shouldn't spend taxes on anything that helps individuals, i.e. military is seen as composed of patriots who do the heroic work of protecting the nation and thus deserve to be paid by taxes, but when it comes to healthcare, many don't want to pay for what they perceive to be lazy people who can't pull themselves by their bootstraps and get a job good enough to pay private insurance, because they simply refuse to work hard enough - whatever that means.

As an European, I find this kind of attitude towards fellow citizens really barbaric and strange, but this is my observation.
Eh.

So if someone walks into your office and demands $3.5 million or they walk, and you don't think they're worth it, two reasonable responses are to laugh in their face or to calmly explain why their expectations are unrealistic.

Kicking something across the room, punching the wall, yelling and screaming, or other displays of violent temper are not. I think it is reasonable to be scared for your physical safety if someone becomes violently angry around you, even if they do not initially direct that violence at you.

I'm kinda surprised to read that WhatsApp hasn't really caught on in the US—in the sense that not everyone you know uses it (on the contrary, very few do).

Here in India, the term 'whatsapp' has creeped its way into regular hinglish (mix of hindi and english) that most working professionals speak in. All schools, colleges, offices and even parents use WhatsApp groups to communicate. It has simply been embraced as the default place to communicate. Even drivers and servants on my contact list put up WhatsApp stories and send broadcasts; the intuitiveness of its adoption truly amazes me!

If people found taste so important, tasteless vegetables wouldn't have been so successful. And it wasn't just tomatoes either; the most common potato, the bintje, and later the superbintje, are also famous for having very little taste. In my youth, this was considered normal.

During my student days in the early 1990s, I started buying organic whenever possible, and organic potatoes weren't bintjes. When fellow students came over to eat, they were stunned at the taste. "What did you do with your potatoes?" I just boiled them, nothing more. (I'm a pretty mediocre cook.) They just had no idea that potatoes could taste like that. Tasteless crap was the standard. Even when people could afford better, they didn't know it existed.

It's not inaccurate. there is almost always an element of intimidation.

We're dealing with a problem of unjust exclusion through intimidation and violence. The SJW solution? Exclude white male cis from social participation through violence and intimidation. Not a working path.

That won't work. Read the first 10 pages of Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire. He talks about the folly of the oppressed that seek liberation by emulating the destructive behaviors of their oppressors. He explains that the oppressor is confined in his role and cannot be expected, even by force, to change. He/She (the oppressor) must be liberated from the cycle of ignorance, fear, and suffeung by the oppressed.

I tend to agree. It fits with what we've seen in history. It makes sense morally. It also aligns with almost every single moral teaching in the world.

> Schedule GP visit for referral to specialist (can't go directly!) Took forever.

I can go to a specialist without referral on my PPO.

I got my shoulder MRI within 2 days after doctor visit.

> PT can't be scheduled, 30 days haven't passed! Once 30 days passes, PT can be scheduled. First availability is 30 days in the future (AAAAAAH).

Not sure what this is, I had surgery for my shoulder and was doing PT after 4 days post op. why did you have 30 day restriction?

> doesn't want to 'wait and see', just get and MRI and we will probably see the problem clearly!

MRI's often have high false positives, in my case a torn labrum would be seen in > 70% adults over 45 with no symptoms or pain. Scheduling surgery within a week merely from MRI sounds scary and irresponsible. Why would you want to jump to surgery first when its always available as a last resort. Wouldn't you want to see if something else would do the trick without surgery.

Also, did you research how experienced the doctor is in doing this particular type of surgery, is he upto date with latest techniques, whats his malpractice rate ect. Jumping into surgery with some doctor that you just happen to meet is scary. A botched up surgery is something you have to live with for rest of your life, its irreversible decision.
