Well no, I did have a problem, I moved off GSuite to FastMail, I moved off Android, I'm a DuckDuckGo user, I went back to Firefox even before the Quantum release.

But I had a lot of respect for Google for pulling out of China on censorship considerations and in fairness (unlike others) they seemed fairly responsible with how they treated the data they collect. Their security at least has been top notch, plus I've seen G employees with good values and a voice.

But seeing them backtrack on a decision that I respected is pretty bad. I mean, it's worse if they've never pulled out of China in the first place. Because now I start thinking it was all a marketing stunt.
I've typically had pretty good luck with GOG, and actually nearly any older game has worked nearly flawlessly for me with Wine. Generally, these games actually work better on Linux than they do trying to shoehorn into modern Windows.

> gonna have to regulate the hell out of autonomous vehicles to reduce congestion

They could just have some sort of road pricing - The cars send their movements to a government server and it sends a bill based on so much per mile or similar. You could do the same with Ubers - it just really needs an app to transmit the movements and the pricing could vary with time and congestion.
I suggest giving it a shot.

If you do Kubernetes type deployments they have some nice offerings for all levels of knowledge. They just released Service Fabric Mesh for those who know less about it.

If you just want a simple deployment, their App Services is really slick & easy with Github integration for JS, PHP, .NET & other stacks.

They also have some really good integrations with their serverless stuff that decreases the amount of code you have to write significantly.

>Who are the US and EU representing to tell other countries how to live their lives??

Chinese companies have much more freedom when conducting business in America and EU than American and EU companies do in China. It is perfectly acceptable for America and EU to stand-up to China on this point.

>What was the last time Western interventionism brought any good for the world?

You're kidding right? WW2, Korean War, Kosovo. Harder is to prove all the wars that never happened because of American enforced good behaviour (without a strong superpower at the helm, you think there wouldn't be full-scale regional wars all over the globe? What would stop some regional tinpot dictator from invading their neighbour).

And then of course, the growth of democracy itself. Do you think it's a coincidence that America's reign as the most powerful and prosperous nation just so happen to coincide with the global growth of democracies? I mean, when there were two superpowers, a market-based democracy and a communist oligarchy, the world largely divided themselves along those systems of government and economics. Before WW2, even Europe wasn't really the democratic heaven it is now, as many of its constituent nations were either fascist or communist dictatorships.
IMO, obeying Chinese law is similar to obeying GDPR. It's not smart for any corporation to fight governments.

It may be controversial to say this as an American, but I believe Thomas Jefferson is easily the greatest candidate for founding father that deserves to be forgotten.

- Jefferson sired six children with Sally Hemmings, a slave on his Monticello estate.

- Jeffersions children were put to work in the fields, and never freed for decades.

- Jefferson himself whipped his own children.

- Jefferson intentionally avoided a strong opinion on emancipation and maintained a negative opinion on it frequently. He was accustomed to the opulence of Monticello and without slaves to run it, Jefferson knew his status in the merchant class would be diminished.

- Jefferson died in roughly two million dollars of modern debt. Most attributable to his lavish livestyle.

From the article: "Wilderness areas in Canada are not taken into account. There is no Canadian national wilderness designation program like there in the USA, and determining the boundaries of land with wilderness character in the various parks would be difficult. Three US wilderness complexes have inscribed circles constrained by the border with Canada, and a glance at aerial maps for the areas north of the Mount Baker and Pasyaten wilderness areas show what looks like roads and clear-cuts over the border. However, the Boundary Waters wilderness is next to the vast Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, which appears to be mostly primeval. So the radius for Boundary Waters could be as high as 13.6 miles if allowed to go over the border."

Litcave: Ali Gholami Rudi's Custom Unix Commands
That's a pretty good summary of the common anti-charter arguments. A few counter-arguments to the above:

- Charter schools expand choice for low-income families. If your public school sucks and your family is doing well, you can always move elsewhere or go to private school. If you're from a poor family, charter schools are your only escape valve

- Maybe it's bad for the public school, but it's good for the high performing students themselves, who are no longer dragged down by disruptive/disengaged classmates.

- The vast majority of charter schools are non-profit. The people running and funding a charter school are just as motivated by good intentions, as those in public schools. They just happen to experiment with different approaches and methods, while giving students/parents the final say on where they want to go.

- Metrics can be gamed, but a complete lack of metrics can also be exploited by underperforming/incompetent/disengaged organizations. Tracking a reasonably good metric is better than tracking no metric at all - something seen in how most successful organizations operate.

wow, the linked related article about NYC school segregation was depressing: https://www.vox.com/2016/2/16/10980856/new-york-city-schools...
especially the part about charters having two times during the year when low-performing students are forced out into the public school: one in October after per-student funding is allocated to the school, allowing them to grab the funding while pushing a now-unfunded student onto the public school, and again in Spring right before standardized testing, when they can weed out the ones who did poorly on prep tests. Seems like the city/state should step in and disallow this practice.
That would be amazing. How come Google hasn't invented something like that yet?
So if I want my kids to be surrounded by other, smart(er) kids / kids with engaged parents, I should send them to charter schools?
> Very quickly you can see why an extra 2 seconds of loading time is not on our mind. Its important to allocate resources effectively, changing my website to load faster is limited value added vs creating content that my users actually want.

I understand. I'm also a sole owner of a website where I'm selling a product (video courses for software developers).

My priorities are to give as much value as possible for free and also sell some courses if I can.

According to Google's network tab the DOMContentLoaded time is about 250ms to load any page on my site (which are typically 1,000 to 5,000 word blog posts with some images). From the user's POV, the page loads pretty much instantly. Then about a second later Google Analytics and a social sharing widget pop up, but those happen after the content.

The interesting thing is I really didn't try hard to make this happen. I just stuck to server rendered templates and compressed my assets. I also made an effort to avoid heavy front end libraries and only add javascript / CSS when I needed to. I basically run a heavily modified theme based on Bootstrap with a couple of third party javascript libs (including jquery).

There's a lot of room for improvement but I haven't bothered because it seems good enough. It's very possible to get the perceived load speed of a page to be under 1 second without dedicating a lot of time to it.

> However, testing will find performance issues where static analysis won't.

Not my experience, at least if we're talking about constructive type systems (I don't find best-effort-style "static analysis" useful, personally). I don't think I've ever seen any "normal" software testing regime (junit etc.) catch a performance issue that wasn't a straightforward infinite loop of the kind that would be obvious in something like Idris.

> quibble with "none of these are acceptable in Agda": it seems unlikely that Agda or anything like it would detect hangs or timeouts due to code not meeting its deadline. Deadlines and performance constraints are not part of any type system I've ever heard of.

Languages with a more detailed type system that can express maximum evaluation time (in terms of e.g. some set of "primitive ops" for that language) do exist, though I wouldn't consider any of them remotely practical.

> A language may guarantee that a function is total in a theoretical sense, but you might not be able to calculate its value for some inputs in practice. (Consider something like "a ↑↑↑ b".) So this guarantee is subtly different from what most users of computer systems would actually want.

Sure. Requiring totality doesn't eliminate all possible code-runs-for-too-long bugs, only the vast majority of them. I don't see that as a reason not to do it.

This works everywhere in the world, there is nothing endemic to Russia in this strategy. I'm born and raised in the US, and this is pretty much how news has been since I was a kid watching talking heads drone on about how dangerous the world is.

Nowadays we throw in China and certain other Asians as "dangerous", but you get the idea. I'd bet the news is like this in most other nations as well, just with a different set of "enemy" people or nations.

This is very true. A lot about civilisation can be learned from tax records but just because there are lots of tax records it does not mean they are particularly easy to read or to recognise, even for an expert.
It sounds like you might be missing a few things. Private companies are, by definition, private entities responsible for prioritizing whatever and however they choose.

If you want to have input in a powerful entity, I really recommend starting a government. If you have an old one layout around, maybe dust if off and use that, but it’ll probably take some work.

I don’t know where you live, but in the US, there’s a bunch of people who are interested in reviving their government entity. They can’t do it alone, though. Here’s the website:

Out of the 2,000 or so species of mushrooms in North America, only 5 - 10 are deadly poisonous, and none grow in coffee grounds.

If you get sick it's going to be because of bacteria or mould. But you can smell if your oysters are infected. They mycelium is supposed to smell like almonds or anise if it's healthy. If it instead has a foul smell then just toss it.

That said if you want to grow them at scale, I would use shredded newspaper rather than coffee grounds. Much easier to get.
I am excited about this approach and I think LeBron's organization has put a lot of though and work with experts on this project.

- This school is a true public school and not a charter school. In Ohio a lot of charter schools can have some degree of selection in their students and kick out families which don't meet the requirements which leads to more at-risk students left to the public schools. This school is making a point of taking at-risk students.

- Longer school days, 3 meals, and a longer school year helps students stay focused. Unfortunately the home environment for a lot of kids makes it so hard for these kids to be able to focus at school. In my wife's elementary school classes some kids show up with just a hamburger bun for breakfast. Others fall asleep immediately at school since they live with 5+ siblings and there are literally no available beds at home. I am not trying to blame the parents in all the cases either, a lot of the time there are single parents just trying to get by and make ends meet and don't know what more they can do.

- Focussing on the teachers will also help. Teachers and unions have been vilified by Governor Kasich but they are not the main problem at all (it is the tragic home environments) with ridiculous review systems and standards, but then there is little support in challenging districts like in Akron/Cleveland. It is a lot easier to work in the suburbs where the kids would progress and learn even without teachers, so that is where everyone wants to go since a good rating is automatic. I think this problem occurs in just about every field where metrics dominate the review system (medicine, call centers, QA, etc). The turnover for teachers at local charter schools is terrible and only seems to attract early-career teachers who couldn't get a job at a public school.

- This doesn't seem to be a short term flashy project but has been years in the making. None of the features here are gimmicky, but just like many things in life it takes a lot of hard work!

- Adding the goal of college education shows a path forward which a lot of students don't think is possible.

I am super excited to be from Akron and I hope this model proves successful!

> targeted, sustained efforts—probably by nation states—have resulted in extremist political content being in the feeds of almost anyone who uses these platforms.

It has more to do with the targeting algorithm used. Once you start watching some kind of content they start proposing more of the same kind of content to you. So people see less and less contrary ideas.

And you can't select an option to "give me quality containt from domains I never touched". Instead of discovering random new content and concept you get pigeonholed into some things you already know and agree with.

No, you only need to have an idea of the ballpark figure for a seat at a table. Then you bump it up by 20% to 50% and apply a multiple related to your own circumstances and level of personal connection to the guest. Then you buy a gift worth around that or just give them money in an envelope. (Some couples make their preferences known in this regard, but generally speaking I would say that giving a well-chosen gift is nicer than just giving money.)

It is not quite the algorithmic process I have described, though. It is a matter of custom and manners and therefore people arrive at the appropriate behaviour mostly unconsciously.

I assure you that if you personally do not have any idea about this, your +1 does.

And are charter schools about reading and math? Cherry picking results is easy to show whatever you like.

Charter schools are about - whatever each is constituted to be about. Like you can't go to a hardware store and grab a random tool and rate it on how well it drills holes. You shouldn't rate charter schools on your favorite metric. Some are about upper-class folk raising their kids with better music and art appreciation. Others are about escaping backward school boards. Sometimes they are in areas so backward, that the charter school still underperforms the national average. But if its an improvement for that area, its an improvement.

A few years ago we put my daughter into a new charter school. We were really excited because on the surface it seemed like she would get a much more tailored and personalized education with better facilities and staff. The only problem is that my daughter has ADHD.

As soon as there were social issues between my daughter and her teachers or her and other students (bullying by other students), the staff quickly turned against us. We met with the principal several times about specific students bullying her but all they wanted to talk about was how she wasn't showing up often enough to school (she often faked being sick to avoid her bullies).

We quickly realized that the school was only concerned about losing funding because of attendance metrics and we pulled her out. It was a horrible experience for us.
