It's because it's not. Literally all the cultures in which Catholicism thrives are those in which the extended family is paramount. My very large very Catholic very Indian family actively rails against the individualism of secular American culture. As do my Philipino friends who also have very close families. As do my Hispanic family and friends who also have very close families. As do my African friends who also have close extended families.

Literally the biggest group embracing individualism from my perspective are secular white people and mainstream protestants.
Internationally, there is a lot of concern over US cultural imperialism.

This appears to be an outgrowth of that.

> I hope to be wrong about this, but people simply to not want to put this much effort into online communities.

Users love putting enormous amounts of effort into building functional, healthy communities online. What was that Reddit spectacle where r/ThanosDidNothingWrong "banned" half the users? That's a perfect example of how sophisticated a userbase can get-- using a feature of a service in a clever and unexpected way but without causing harm to the users or the system.

If it seems like users don't want to do that kind of work on a particular social network, it's probably a symptom that something fundamental isn't working in the software.

Users will do creative things on services that give them the freedom to do it. But they can't and won't fix design issues to make the service usable in the first place.
I'd be thrilled if there were some restaurants that passed a much lower bar than that. I don't agree about expensive ingredients. Lots of restaurants (not all!) have figured out how to serve non-spoiled vegetables. When I lived in Singapore I lived near (and patronized regularly) a bunch of Indian restaurants that did that without refrigeration (at 1° N latitude).

The labor costs are an issue. I cooked a curry with garden vegetables and Gulf shrimp over the weekend, and it took over an hour (perhaps it would have been unpalatable to a real Indian person, but three hillbillies from the Ozarks liked it just fine). However, it's possible to purchase e.g. frozen okra that's already sorted and chopped.

But yeah restaurants are difficult. Way too much competition in that space unless you really like running a restaurant. Chinese-Americans seem to have had some success, however.

> It basically means: worth tailoring to, given precious UI space and limited developer resources.

How much precious developer time is required maintain a user-facing text field on an entity with only a handful of other fields? Certainly not enough to properly justify a feature regression with user-data loss.

> Do you think 50% of power users used this feature? How about 10%? 5%? 1%?

IMHO, you're thinking about power users incorrectly. Power users aren't as cookie-cutter as regular users, so you shouldn't expect them all to use an identical set of features. For instance, say you have 100 power user features. It wouldn't surprise me if none of those features passed 1% usage, but 90% of power users use at least one of them. Get rid of them all due to "low usage according to telemetry" and you've just created regressions for 90% of your power users.
Yes, but it's sometimes good to look at the local instance timeline and find most toots (tweets in Mastodon for the uninitiated) related to your interests.
I had self-studied this and then later studied under a teacher as well.

I think the thing that I found hardest in my self-study was (and unfortunately this is about 25 years ago so my recollection might be a bit off) that it seemed like there was a lot written on just two equations (the heat equation and the wave equation). I didn't get why is 50 pages dedicated to one equation. Up until that point it felt like Calculus was about techniques to solve equations, and then it suddenly became mostly about how to solve these two equations (there was a third, but I can't recall what it was now), which never really resonated with me.
Sorry yeah, I reversed the terms, in response to this:

> The term "federation" is borrowed from political science for a reason. Just like in the USA, multiple federated states who share broad-strokes policies maintain interoperability while also maintaining their own sovreignty.

which is not true, under a federation the members do not maintain sovereignty, and this is the important point. The Colonial States gave up their sovereignty when they became federated.

Everything else, besides the terms reversal (my bad), it seems we agree on?

> The EU is arguably a confederation, and it's pretty much the only modern example, because confederations rarely last long.

Exactly!

> That is not the model that the Fediverse wants to uphold

So what are we even arguing about here? We agree decentralization wont last long. If you're using the US as an example of a desirable "light hand" federation I guess that's just where we agree to disagree.

No, I didn't. That's a good idea actually, thanks. I'll also try help@cloudflare.com, helpdesk@cloudflare.com, techsupport@cloudflare.com, and customersupport@cloudflare.com in hopes that one of them is the real contact address.

If one of these happens to work, I still have to hope they'll respond. Given the fact that they don't have any way to contact support on their website, it appears they aren't that fond of providing support.
Of course there is.

If you want more of a discussion on this topic, I would highly encourage reading some of Larry Lessig's work on internet identity and "cyberspace". Code 2.0 is a good start. He viewed pseudonyms like you, very much as a feature.

The fact is, people act differently depending on their degree of anonymity, and there's a place for everything on the entire spectrum from pseudonym to real name only.
More refined version of the classic Digi-Comp II and actually turing-complete, according to the creators.

With its 2 Hz speed per “instruction” (ramps, gears) it’s not super slow. I would love to see a bigger version and a simulator without board limits.

Edit: no one yet proved that the toy is Turing complete, but the creators believe it is because you can build NAND gates.

I think there are sub-populations who think Twitter encompasses all, particularly in the pop culture and journalism crossroads.

I had a strange professional experience encountering media school academics about 5-7 years ago who were all so gung-ho about it. This was when the "firehose" could be acquired with a budget plausible within a grant-funded research group, and they seemed to imagine themselves having total information awareness like they had joined the five eyes. They spoke as if they were on the cusp of a future where this tool replaced all other forms of polling and data-gathering for social science, with no apparent concern for the incompleteness of this perspective nor of the ethical quandaries if it really were that powerful.
Uvm used to be really cool, when there was only one core and one memory map.

Then those busybody CPU manufacturers gave us lots of cores, and each core its own TLB, and then we had to trash everybody's TLB whenever somebody re-mapped something. That made working by flapping page mappings slow everything else down, and UVM became a specialist technique for embedded systems small enough to have just one core, but big enough to have mapped memory.

Meanwhile, memory systems have got better and better at copying -- mostly just by adding bandwidth, but also by having lots of registers to slurp bytes into and spew out elsewhere -- to the point that gymnastics to avoid copying are often slower than just copying.
I volunteered with Microsoft's TEALS (https://www.tealsk12.org/) organization last year as a volunteer classroom teacher for an introductory CS Course. The first semester was mostly in this drag and drop language called Snap, similar to Scratch, and the second semester consisted of the basics of Python.

I was worried about teaching at first, I haven't had a lot of experience (none as a matter of fact) but, TEALs had some training classes over the Summer that I attended and they taught me how to be a pretty decent (at least in my opinion haha) teacher.

The school I got placed at was an inner-city school and it was honestly awesome to give these kids a chance to learn about and explore a career path they previously thought well above their ability to reach. I went one day a week for one class in the mornings, I worked with other volunteers each with their own day, so it didn't interfere with my work life at all either.

I didn't learn about programming myself until I hit college so just the fact that these kids are even made aware that this is an actual viable career path is a win in my book.

If you're interested at all in "CS in every high school" mentality and you want to put in some volunteer hours then I think TEALs would be an awesome resource to look into

Plastic and steel are common because they're easy to clean reliably. The problem is that the properties that make them easy to clean--smooth, inert--are the same properties that allow pathogens to linger.

Microsurfaces on, e.g., hardwood have properties that sequester and kill pathogens. (https://news.ncsu.edu/2014/09/cutting-boards-food-safety/) However, that can also make them more difficult to clean, particularly in a commercial or industrial setting where the process needs to be low-cost, minimally labor intensive, scaleable, and reliable. Similarly, the surface properties may be difficult to maintain or restore. For example, perhaps oil build up on wood surfaces regularly touched by passers-by reduces or eliminates the antimicrobial qualities, or even make it worse than the alternatives.

That's the rub--how to design (and market) cheap hardware that is easy to maintain while maximizing antiseptic properties during use. We've optimized for the former (cheap, easy, reliable sanitation) but neglected to appreciate that actual cleanliness sucks because typical materials in high-traffic areas go from pristine to cesspools almost immediately and, crucially, stay that way until the next round of cleaning briefly sanitizes the surface.

If you haven't seen it, physicists used physical lenses to compute fourier transforms before computers.

Also, although I didn't read closely enough, I think "collation" or "partitioning" is the right term for sorting things and then placing them into buckets. Sorting is just ordering, not partitioning.
Rather, the limitation was that people didn't have the abstractions, vocabulary, and mental tools to properly conceive of general purpose computers as a concept and to understand their usefulness.

Maybe that was it or maybe society had not achieved a scale and a regularity where a more primitive and expension version of a programmable computer would have been useful (ie, where the cost-benefit exchange was obvious). I'd note that computers effectively came into use during WWII, where there was immense pressure to optimize the large-scale organizational activity as well as large scale industrial processes (the Manhattan Project esp).

> I'm curious if this is common in the US in other immigrant communities.

Yes absolutely. As an Indian American, I'm familiar with the Indian grocery store model. However, I grew up in a majority vietnamese area of Southern California, and most of my friends growing up were vietnamese. They had a few interesting hustles going on:

1. A few families were involved in growing produce in their backyards, and grocery stores would source these fruits. Many of the fruits (certainly not all) popular in Vietnam would grow in the heat of SoCal, but they were not farmed commercially.

2. My mom's friend told her that many vietnamese restaurants sourced their egg rolls from various aunties scattered around the community. The egg roll they made was very standardized, and they would sell many trays a day to the restaurants for cents on the dollar.
Having dabbled a bit in open data, I think "this data is available in too many formats and going through all the options manually is tiresome" counts as a problem you'd love to have.
I was surprised to see that your version of 0 ran nearly as fast as the others, despite the multiple calls to the square root. Then I realised that you're using the library sqrt routine, and I wonder if that would be accurate enough for the case I'm usually in where my numbers have hundreds of digits. I don't know what algorithm Julia uses for that, but I've found floats (and their friends) insufficiently accurate.

But that's useful feedback - thank you.

Did this also affect the Mac Chrome version of this extension?

I just checked a few minutes ago and I'm on version 3.39.5. I was never asked to escalate privileges when I assume it was at affected version 3.39.4 beforehand.

Or maybe I was just lucky and didn't use Chrome during that brief window that the extension was compromised since Safari is my main browser?

I use coconut oil supplements as one of several components to neutralize H. Pylori bacteria in my gut, as it contains monolaurin. The saturated fat isn't a concern for me, as it is about the only fat I get. I also use mastic gum, ulcetrol, zinc, aged garlic extract and green leafy vegetables.
That book is totally mindblowing, and obliterates artificial boundaries between physics and mathematics. It also (in the older Dover editions) had a cover where the phase portrait on the front looked like two angry eyes glaring at you that you hadn't learned enough math yet.
Climate change is here -- summers in Seattle are much sunnier than they used to be, I think this year we had nearly 90 sunny days just in June-August, September has started off with nice sunny days as well.

Last year was unusually warm and sunny in the summer as too, though I guess a couple years isn't really a climate change, it's just unusual weather.

On the flip side, people that got along without air conditioners 5 or 10 years ago are revisiting that decision, I called around a few places to get a quote for a split unit to be installed, and they were booked up through August.
Optimizing cache usage with nontemporal stores
Unfortunately this feels like situation where the free market will fail to incentivize the best solution. The airport itself does not feel the economic pain from its travelers getting sick from touching its steel surfaces. The passengers likely aren't even aware this choice might have caused their sickness. So airports will always choose steel over copper/silver/brass so long as steel is cheaper.

This seems like a reasonable place for regulators to step in.

There are several things wrong with this line of thinking (as others have pointed out), but I'd like to draw attention to a less salient point you made:

> This led to an unusually open society, which had many benefits... with generally higher levels of trust among strangers.

It's interesting that you're portraying the openness of European society in a strongly positive light, given the high levels of abject loneliness prevalent primarily in the west.

Communal living has been a staple for much of human existence, the level of isolation most people in western Europe and North America (and now, much of east Asia) face is a direct result of European "openness" (which spread through east Asia via the British originally, and destabilization + American media later).

The biggest risk to the future of the West is the lack of strong families. That's where India, above all others, shines.

> I'd be fine with this if schools taught computer science like art. Essentially a place to build and make cool shit.

I worked with a non-profit that attempted to pitch exactly this to state governments, using game development as the framing. We ran summer programs to gather data while pursuing funding, and it was fantastic. Kids who had no interest in programming, logic, or physics bought into it in the context of building a level. Kids who wanted to code but had no interest in art, music, or writing bought into it in the context of creating a story.

Funding for an in-school pilot passed the state legislature, but the governor line-item vetoed it. Good old Bobby Jindal.

That makes sense. I probably overlooked the difference between grammatically correct and sounding natural. Chinese (and Japanese) have such a different cultural background that I also find the "natural way" to speak is quite different than English for example. The natural way to speak takes many many years. I've only ever seriously studied East Asian languages so have been able to build on top of each other to some degree. I just assumed this would be an issue in all languages, though now I could see how learning Spanish for example, is likely far less "eccentric" for a native English speaker than something like Chinese/Japanese.

Thanks for your response!

> No society has collapsed due to their sociopaths feeling un-incentivized

I don't want to sound like my side of the argument is "deregulate Amazon or else society will collapse." Especially when the original topic was a single specific bill and not really an entire political worldview. But making those sorts of arguments is certainly a lot of fun so :)

I think the last two hundred years of history and politics should leave us exceptionally worried about how to incentivize people in the extremes. Stable political systems that aren't some kind of hereditary monarchy are relatively rare, not that hereditary monarchies are fantastic places to live either. Of the stable systems we have, a disproportionate number of them seem to be some offshoot of English law. I didn't study history, so any generalizations I want to make after that point are kind of worthless, but my totally biased take on it is that the whole "the poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown" part of the system is a really important part for stability. (Whether that take even ends up having anything to do with the BEZOS Bill is anyone's guess; maybe it doesn't.)
1. See a professional therapist to help you sort out your issues. Maybe talk to several therapists initially to find one that you enjoy working with and then stick with that one therapist for awhile.

2. Live healthy - By that I mean try to exercise daily and eat healthy. Gets lots of rest and drink lots of water. Avoid alcohol, sugar, and junk food.

3. In addition to seeing a therapist, read "12 Rules for Life" by Jordan Peterson or listen to the audiobook version (available on audible and narrated by the author) while you go out jogging or hiking. Jordan Peterson also has an interactive "self authoring" program available (https://www.selfauthoring.com/) which is designed to help you sort out your past, present, and future.
