We bought our car seats from Volvo in Sweden because they are designed differently than what is available on the US market, in particular and as mentioned in the article there is a metal bar that rests on the ground to support the seat. It makes a huge difference in improving the angle of the seat and saving space for the sake of the front passenger seat (as well as improving accessibility to install the child, or let her climb in when she grows older/stronger). You can see that in the sled-test photos included in the article (US row vs Swedish row); you can also see that the Swedish car seats provide a much better side-envelope of protection for the children.

You are making assumptions that are rather obviously false.

Every centralized app preserves an ability to eventually spy on you. End-to-end encryption doesn't take it away.

If a government wants mass surveillance it either asks/coerces someone from the company to implement a backdoor or blocks the app in the country pushing people into mass surveillance friendly alternatives. So end-to-end encryption cannot possibly protect from mass surveillance.

Client side backdoors obviously don't need to be pure client side either, only revert back from end-to-end encryption to client-to-server encryption preserving plausible deniability for the company. Possibly even leaving end-to-end encryption in the app, just not enabled by default. Such change can even be advertised as an improvement, like cross device chat history feature or something.
I think there's a huge misconception about the conformity in Japan. Yes there is obvious conformity on the surface from a cursory glance, but then how do you explain the innovation that comes out of there? They're super inventive when it comes to Anime, food, design, and technology and it all stands at stark odds with how foreigners perceive them as conformist.
Some US States are working to turn this around and have introduced [edit to finish thought: bills to change it]. It will take a while. Given that many states used felony charges and laws that don't allow felons to vote to control minorities, it may take a long while indeed.

>The amount of free money yielded in real estate appreciation and rents in California is staggering. It could easily fill any state budget hole if the political will was there to take it from the people who did not earn it and give it to the people who did.

People didn't earn the property they own? I hesitate to ask you the question, but if things are so expensive, and you don't currently own property, why live there in the first place?

I'm all for decreasing the wealth gap and the wage gap, but what you seem to be asking for is free shit.

Iterative Con Opportunity
How does Google "remove" entries? Do they just exclude certains pages from results? If so, that's not really a solution since that information is still publicly available.

It would make much more sense to remove all web pages (from newspapers etc.) containing the actual data, and ideally Google would forget about it as well soon. But then again, that would be a lot of work and it's easier to just take down the gateway. But it's ridiculous.
Dynamic types at compile time combined with static types at runtime seems like a nice tradeoff. After all, the types will be checked for all the code actually generated. It probably makes error messages more confusing, though.

Academia, in my experience, has a tendency to use more theory-heavy languages (Haskell, OCaml, and of course Lisp), or the "easy-for-engineering" languages, like R or Matlab. When I used to work for a university, our stuff was done almost exclusively with Haskell.

This is fine, but a lot of academic work (bioinformatics, video processing, advanced statistical analysis, etc...) can be very computationally heavy, leading to a lot of academics and post-docs writing some ad-hoc C++ in order to squeeze out better performance.

What I was suggesting is that, since Carp might have better performance characteristics for more CPU bound tasks than something like, say, Racket, it might satisfying the niche of academic-friendly languages.

Rather than Ponzi scheme, I'd classify the investors as participating in a Pump & Dump.

A Ponzi scheme is when it's an investment vehicle (i.e. hedge fund) that provides returns to older investors through capital acquired from newer investors. In this case, by contrast, it's overhyping (to the point of fraud) a publicly traded security in hopes of rallying some investors to buy in, which increases the price, further validating the potential and convincing more investors to buy in.

Merely participating through buying in a Pump & Dump process is completely legal; it only becomes illegal if you're the party using fraudulent information to increase the value of the security.

The government pays for 70% of healthcare for working people. I.e. these are productive citizens (presumably) putting more into the system than they are getting out of it, at ~72% (mathematically, that's 2.5 productive citizens per elderly). If the proportion rises to 40/60, that's a 1.5 citizen/elderly ratio. That itself is a huge concern.

Social media and background checks will damage your future prospects forever for a minor thing that doesn't make a difference in other societies.

Reviews that I've read of the HomePod consistently say that the sound is fantastic, possibly class-leading. But they all also consistently complain about the degree of lock-in to the Apple ecosystem. Most of them conclude that the lock-in is a crippling flaw that drastically limits the appeal of the speaker.
Yes, straight into Duolingo. A tool. A gimmick. And the results were, according to the commenter, underwhelming. But I can tell you what I mean by putting in the effort: I had to learn Classical Latin and pass an exam in order to enrol in University in Germany. For that I took a two-month crash course.

What did we do in this course? 4 weeks of grammar, interspersed with reading, analyzing and translating classical texts, then 4 weeks of reading, analyzing and translating classical texts. 4 hours in class plus 2-4 hours self-study each day. It worked like a charm. The bottom line: if your aim is to read classical texts, read classical texts. And the key here was not that I learned 4-8 hours each day, the key was that the learning was not dumbed down, gamified, artificially made fun. And I have found that this is applicable to pretty much every other language.

There's Talkyard, https://www.talkyard.io (I'm developing it). It's a forum-software & Slack & StackOverflow hybrid.

It'd be interesting to hear if there's something you like about Talkyard, and don't like about it? And maybe features & integrations you need, that are missing?

My guess is that this is market failure. Employers make job hunting so unpleasant and expensive that potential candidates are strongly deterred from seeking positions.

For background, I'm an experienced generalist Linux programmer. I could explain strace output to you in detail, parallelize your software, etc.

I did a lengthy job search last year, after having taken a few months off due to life circumstances. I did maybe 20 phone screens, 10 tech screens, 5-6 on-site interviews. Even passed an on-site at Google. As you might imagine, this takes a ferocious amount of time and energy.

The result? No offers. Hard to say why. My skills are pretty solid. There's nothing about me or in my background that'd be a plausible red flag, aside from my age (50s).

My interpretation is that there's simply too much supply. Employers will regularly interview dozens of people for positions. (One job I was previously hired for bragged that they had a 1200-to-1 ratio of inquiries to hires.) Why do this? Because you can. Imagine interviewing 20 plumbers to redo your drain lines. Would they think you were being a jerk? (Would they be wrong?)

Looking back over my career, the best jobs I've had had remarkably non-selective hiring processes. They'd post a listing, collect resumes, choose three to interview, and hire one. The interviews weren't quiz-like--they were just conversations. It might seem like a recipe for mediocrity, but somehow it just worked. I did my best work for them, and they were very happy indeed.

My advice, spread your req far and wide, with as much honesty about what the job entails as you can muster. Wait for 20 resumes or a month. Pick two or three to interview in person. Hire one.

In your analogy it's more like A is a fence who made money off of stolen goods from B and is acting like they have no responsibility for being part of the transaction. If this was some non profit or a person collecting the information as a hobby it might be a different argument, but these are for profit companies making this available.

Whether or not you think that should be allowed, you cant pretend that the search engines are not responsible in some part for the process being possible

Tips for Cleaning Your Home Appliances to Make Them Last
This will get canned on the appeal, guaranteed. The article is a bit misleading because they're not going after him because he's doing aftermarket repairs. They're going after him because he's claiming that the repaired devices are using genuine parts from Apple, which even have the Apple logo on them, yet they weren't purchased from Apple.

This is my biggest complaint with the "Right to Repair" movement. They're constantly conflating what Apple is fighting against (counterfeit parts and being compelled to provide documentation and manuals without oversight) with the valid complaint of users not being legally allowed to repair their own devices. Apple has never been against that and isn't fighting that. They're fighting the fact that these bills, every single one of them, wants to force Apple to provide instructions and parts for repair shops that aren't Apple authorized for which they can't verify or guarantee the quality fo the repair. That's a completely understandable position and yet people keep falsely claiming that it's simply about Apple wanting to keep people from repairing their own stuff. That's not it at all and it's doing a disservice to the "Right to Repair" movement to continue to do so.

Interesting that you shoe-horned economics into a discussion about culture and crime.

But anyways, I think Japan, and China would disagree with your arguments.

But more importantly, I think it is the political and social realm where "diversity" causes the most friction.

Increasingly, much of our political, social, and cultural debates and discussions are focused on diversity and racial issues.

The more "diverse" one's citizenry, the more they will be saddled with these kinds of hot-button issues. The more identity groups, the more separate political constituencies will exist.

They crowd out, or influence, almost all other discussions around politics and economic. Increasingly social-justice/multiculturalism/diversity is involved with every issue in the political sphere. This is not a positive development.

To the degree these kinds of changes happen slowly, the more diverse cultures assimilate to the host culture. Diversity supporters do not generally support limited, slow immigration, but rather open borders.
The brutalist style works when it is the right design for the job, just shoehorning it for the sake of "design aesthetics" makes no sense. In fact it would work great for HN style webpages.

I run something similar - DiscoverDev ( https://discoverdev.io ) and got a lot of compliments on the "brutalist design". Then again it is a minimilist site, I really doubt this would work well for larger applications.

That is not the case in the USA, where the absence of such a monopoly is written into the federal constitution.
That's like saying world wars are beneficial to humanity because a bunch of shit gets invented to fight wars. No. Wars and so far space travel has done nothing for humanity. If you would have instead focused on inventing the inventions that came with fighting wars instead of fighting wars we still would have the inventions but would have been much more efficient.

Society sometimes elects Trump. And Trump is an angel compared to history's worst case scenarios. So be careful about what "right decisions" you want Trump making for you.

As an Asian woman in CS...I really don't see that as a lack of attraction (they'll talk about it with other ladies) so much as a just raised to not talk about it too openly and especially with men. At least here (USA) women in general also get a lot of shit in general for appearing sexual(What a slut, so easy, etc). But I feel like it's worse in most of the Asian families I know in a "you are ruined forever!" way and in a "focus on your studies/career!" way. Seriously have had my own family call me a ho for wearing lipstick and 2 inch heels lul. Ya still feel the feels, you just don't express it.

On the other hand I have been meeting more people who say "it's not worth the hassle" for various reasons even if they experience sexual attraction. I've heard a lot of people say it's not worth all that effort.

>when it comes to Anime

I am a fan of anime but I think there's a lot of tepid, derivative or uncreative anime being created that Westerners aren't completely exposed to.

For example, there are six or seven anime released in the past few years where the protagonist went to sleep/died and then woke up in a video game world, either in a game they played IRL or simply somehow were transported to the world of a video game or a world that behaves as if it is a video game.

They range from inventive and interesting to tedious rip-offs.
I don't know about Japan, but even in sunbaked places like LA, I can tell there's a ton of nihilism going on and spreading. Most of the money people make goes to rent, most jobs are BS and people know this deep down, the only way to "move up" these days is to move around frequently, and authority throws up a lot of roadblocks to discourage taking initiative. People act "content", but the majority don't feel particularly good about their situation. Our parents owned homes by my generation's age; very few of us own homes, and while we also don't have the same drive to keep up with the Joneses, there's still an undercurrent of resentment to the previous generation that tells us to "pound the pavement" without a clue as to how the new economy treats young people.

Ask people in their 20s and 30s what they think about the world, and over half of them will say the world's going to shit in one way or another. I know people on both sides of the political spectrum that will say that. This isn't a good sign for society.

Granted, I am not divorced from this phenomenon. There is a lot of things that my parents' generation did that I don't do because they seem pointless. I'm not in a relationship, hence not married, no kids, I don't intend on owning a house with a white picket fence(or any house), I don't have two cars, I don't go on vacation after vacation, I don't "pound the pavement", etc. All because I find these things to be "meh", having a low ROI in general.
Is your point that it's hard to take in all of that in one go? Because I think that might be his point too.
