This is decades old old, centuries old, millenia old problem. If one's government and by extension all those organisations which are under its umbrella are not held to the highest standards by "we the people", the citizens, then it will rapidly degrade to the lowest standards.

It can only be held to the highest standards by the active, ongoing participation of the citizens. There is no nation on this beautiful planet that is held to the highest standards because there is no agreement what the highest standards are.

As citizens, we are only interested in our specific interests and cares and whoopee-do for anyone else. As citizens, we don't care what happens elsewhere. That is someone else's problem.

It doesn't matter what kid of politics you adhere to, what philosophies or religions, most (the vast, vast majority) are only interested in what they get out of things. If the consequences of some policy, legislation, etc. will come and bite them, they don't care as long as it hasn't happened right now.

So with the lowest standards, we have corrupt or useless politicians, law enforcement, national security, commercial enterprises, government enterprises, medical treatment, education, etc. The problems continue to grow and the citizens continue to fight over the decreasing scraps left over for them. Every system on this planet is failing rapidly and will continue to go downhill.

Until people are willing to take responsibility for their choices and accept responsibility for their choices, they will be unable to do anything that is effective in making changes for the better. If you are not willing to hold yourself to a higher standard, then you cannot expect those who have responsibilities in government, business, social areas to have a higher standard.

If you are part of any organisation that has "bad apples" and you do nothing, then you are one of those "bad apples". There are no excuses, no extenuating circumstances, as long as any "bad apples" are not dealt with, the entirety of the organisation is corrupt.

So on that note, it should not be at all surprising when corrupt activities are undertaken by any government organisation and law enforcement such as the legal theft of any goods and chattels of any citizen or non-citizen. The citizens have been complicit and now the citizens have to live with that corruption and the consequences for themselves.

If we aren't doing something active to improve things then we are in full agreement with what does happen to others and then to ourselves.

> Try telling that to a statistician, or a computer scientist, or an economist, or....

It is easy to miss Arnold's point here due to imperfect expression. Which is that without reality checks and intuition about the math concepts all the elaborate abstract thought frameworks and rigorous results may be very misleading and counter-productive.

> central field of study in math and is also becoming a major part of theoretical physics

It is in vogue, perhaps, but it is hardly a major part of theoretical physics.
I don't think the stated reason of "voters want something, but I don't think they should have any representation" is a good reason.

Couldn't agree more. The Go toolchain has been the ultimate bikeshed destroyer.

I've always been fond of the Golden Rule for code style: "All code in your project should look as if it was written by one and only one person". The Go toolchain starts you a long way down that road out of the box, with no option to even try to reignite the indent wars, or to slaughter more goats at the altar of the One True Brace. Instead, you get to focus entirely on how that rule applies to language idioms straight away, which is far more meaningful than the colour of the bikeshed or the number of spaces around an operator.

Adding linters is cool, but taking them away directly compromises that property, which I now consider far too valuable to lose.
Wow, I never knew that was an option. Now I wish my adblocker gave the option of allowing those ads. That sounds like what I'd hoped AdBlocks's Acceptable Ads program would be.
On 9/11 I heard some very strange news on my bedroom clock radio. "Americans falling from the sky...". Tried various websites... all down. Only way I could get news was slashdot.org and they had switched to a very light weight text only format.
A government is your guaranteed voice in making decisions about how society runs. The US government is far from perfect, good lord. But it’s the only mechanism we’ve got for keeping power in the hands of the people.

Well, that's certainly a novel kind of pseudoscience pro-emission bullshit, I'll give you that.

Unfortunately -- by your logic -- both of us are simply fancy Coelacanths which "evolved and are used-to" briny sea water as our "normal" environment, which is why it's so difficult to type this with my flippers while suffocating on dry land.

No, wait, that's not true, because evolution is a constant process and doesn't just happen once and stop. I can take a literal breath of relief.

Agreed. I used to think google wasnt helping develop killer drones. Them deciding that eventually stopping their killer drone project for the military would be better for business doesn't impress me.
I haven't looked into it in a while, but last I knew you had to have MoFo sign-off on a bunch of stuff, including code changes (i.e., you're only allowed to use the Firefox branding if you get MoFo sign-off on those changes; you can always redistribute it without the trademarks).
I think the concept of the hedonic treadmill explains this pretty well:

We have a strong tendency to revert to our internal happiness set point, in the face of success or failure. So the trick is to learn to change that set point, which mostly doesn’t depend on things outside ourselves.
This must be quite terrifying for Google the corporation, which is now sandwiched between its own employees and its own government.

The story that has been spun this year has been that Google tacitly accepts politics in the workplace. They might come to regret that.
Yes. Even as a "non-artist", it's well worth avoiding this trap. I'm very careful to not let my software engineering day job get too close to my (quite extensive) electronics hobby.

My job can be stressful at times, which I don't consider to be strictly negative, but I have noticed just how much this has impacted my enjoyment of, for example, reading technical articles that are too close to my work subject matters. On the other side, I still have great fun on reading challenging articles, application notes or whole books on different subjects in electronics and signal processing, and my way to ensure that it keeps being fun, is to keep it away from being relevant for my income.
The criteria for when such a delay is undue in Germany ("ohne schuldhafte Verzoegerung"), is if it would have been within your power and not incurring gross risks/costs (unless it's your fault for creating a situation where there are gross risks/costs) to have done the required action at an earlier time.
It is not undue delay if you needed to sleep, or if your ISP just cut you off and you need to go into the city and get some other ISP to get you a connection, but it is your fault if you then sit around for a month, waiting for the ISP to get it ready, without the ISP getting the connection up soon enough. They would require you to go to the city and get a permit to string fiber across from the next hub to your building, if there was no other way to get it done sooner, due to e.g. there not being anyone with free time to dig up the street and fix the cable, or whatever.
I travel in Albania annually and visit all major regions, and I now speak the language and am always keen to talk about local customs. The Hoxha era had a serious impact. Today, religious observance in Albania is low, and for most of the population any declared religious affiliation is mostly a matter of ethnographic color, not serious belief. Opinion polls in Albania regularly reflect this. “Atheist” may be too strong a word, but “religious” these people ain’t by and large.
Can't help but notice that this line - "If you see a red highlight, your sentence is so dense and complicated that your readers will get lost trying to follow its meandering, splitting logic — try editing this sentence to remove the red." is shown as red. I don't understand why this is a complicated sentence. By forcing the writer to split a good line into smaller ones just because some reader might not be able to follow it is wrong.

I've never tried that, and can't verify what happens, but I can tell you that if you bring too large a bottle of liquid they will let you put it into checked baggage to retrieve at your destination. Clearly the same offer is not on the table with cash.

Furthermore, nothing in the TSA rules says "no cash exceeding X dollars". If they don't want you to bring it, they should explicitly disallow it.
Microsoft has never been about free software.

They are however embracing open source in a manner that feels very sincere to me.

For the record, the so-called "spyware" is telemetry which exists only in the SDK for .NET Core and not the actual runtime that you would ship to the user with the software. It is anonymous data, completely open source so it really is only what they say it is, and the first time you use it it tells you how to disable it.
I use a stylish plugin which masks the feed entirely. It was useful when I was having to use facebook often to promote a brand. Nowadays though it's eliminated the vast majority of facebook's use for me. 95% of my notifications are random 'so and so invited you to an event' and 'so and so posted in some group'. I realized that the fb feed had become a content aggregator, much like that other website we all know and love(?), but instead your f&f were the contributors. Blacking out the feed of inane content effectively made fb useless for me.
You can absolutely get punished for what you say in the US -- freedom of speech was long ago recognized as anything but absolute. You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. Obscenity (as defined in Miller v. California) is not protected by the constitution. You can't lie under oath. You can't deliberately tell lies about people (Libel). The First Amendment doesn’t protect the speech of people plotting to overthrow the government (Dennis v. United States). House Bill 347 authorized Secret Service agents to arrest anyone protesting in the president’s or vice president’s proximity.

The only difference is they've chosen to draw the line somewhere just offset from what you're used to. There's still a line in these here United States. And it's really not that different, is it?
Not just compiler but operating system as well. Look at the names like Wind River, Green Hills or even LynxOS for a certified compiler / OS solution
1. In addition to using public data, they sampled mitochondrial DNA and Y chromosomes from individuals in diverse geographical locations around the world (456 individuals). This had been done before for mtDNA but not Y chromosomes at anywhere near the level of resolution they attained. Phylogenetic tree analysis is performed to organize the variations into clades and estimate the genetic distance between them.

2. I'm very interested to know the answer to your second point myself. As displayed in figure 2, it looks like it wasn't exactly simultaneous or equal in magnitude everywhere. It does look like most geographic clusters did see something of a drop, at some point. Eyeballing it, it appears that the near-East and the Caucasus had the relatively most-significant drop. The African cluster appears to have had a more modest drop and at a later date. However, I wouldn't rely too heavily on trying to read more into the figures than the authors did (and as I just tried to do).

I suspect the resolving power their data sample gave them was insufficient to resolve your question. While it was enough to demonstrate the existence of such a drop, I would be skeptical of its power to demonstrate the relative severity or timing between each geographical cluster. (If I was the author, this finding would be begging for more grant money to do exactly that: gather more data and nail down exactly how much, when, and where the Y diversity was lost.)

Final point: it's not necessary to assume everyday life was brutal or violent. I'm not an anthropologist, so take my reference to Napoleon Chagnon with a grain of salt. The Amazonian Yanomamo people he lived among had high rates of violent death compared to other causes of death, yet everyday life was peaceful. Most of the bloodshed and conflict he documented occurred over very few days in quick moments. When a population is low, it doesn't take much to move the % up a lot.

Whatever caused the drop in Y diversity, if it happened over several thousand years, the yearly attrition rate could have been very low also.
People who watch a lot of youtube will start to feel like making youtube videos is a very common thing for average people to do. They won't realize that it takes an unusually large amount of resources and lifestyle changes to have a successful channel.
Microsoft products are becoming worse on privacy:

1. LinkedIn's dark UI patterns are as bad as they've ever been. Bringing the same to GitHub or otherwise LinkedIn-ifying it seems like a very real risk.

2. Ramping up telemetry. Key loggers in Windows 10, opt-out telemetry in .NET Core, seems impossible to get VSCode to stop phoning home.

This is the stuff we very badly want to avoid.

[Stanley Roberts' piece on this stop sign intersection gives the lie to this statement](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88neOxfa9IE). This isn't the only one he's done but it should be sufficient.

At least in SF, stop signs are proper optional. I see cars running them every day. It's just that when you see a car go 40 mph (5 over) and then slow down to 10 mph when it goes through it looks like it nearly stopped. When a cyclist goes from 15 mph to 10 mph it looks like he didn't do shit.

When I bicycle I stop fully at stop signs because I do it partly for exercise and I like practising the track stand, but I see people go through every day on my commute. If I were to bike in a hurry, I could see myself doing the slow down and treat-stop-as-yield.

Mostly there's a lot of bullshit on this topic, I've noticed. Somehow if you talk to drivers, they'll say things like "SF drivers don't know how to drive. They won't even see you before they go through a stop sign." then when the topic becomes cyclists v. drivers the narrative changes to how drivers turn into ever-correct rule followers. That seems to me that people are making an in-group v out-group distinction when they describe this, and appropriately changing their language.

I've got to tell you, I've seen it, and this "approximate the effect of a complete stop" is bullshit. Well, don't believe me, watch the video or wait at a busy trafficked intersection. (You can find good ones on the streets off Lincoln in the Sunset - heavily stop-signed and frequently violated)

10 years ago, I would have argued the same about the gov't just arbitrarily expanding asset seizure laws, but here we are.
So the police steal as much as everyone else combined, but it's still only a few bad apples? Every last beat cop on up (especially if they are part of a union) is a bad, rotten apple. Every single one of these cops are propping up ridiculous systems of mass theft and murder orchestrated by their colleagues and their counterparts in prosecutors' offices. These people have no concept of justice or fairness or serving or protecting. I truly think the US would be better off without official police that's how detrimental they are to our society. They are one of the few groups that I can truly say keep our society from being civilized.
The US does have that legal power so it seems to be more about where you draw the line.
