Here's another thought experiment.

Take the Russian communist revolution of 1917. Had Lenin been an American and the coup/revolution been american... Do you think that by the late 20th century, the US and Soviet Union's positions would have been reversed?

I don't think we can really answer that, but to me, "yes" feels like an old fashioned answer. I don't think a founding philosophy or constitution (or anything really) has such a deterministic effect. I'm more in the "one-damned thing after another" camp.

People bitch and moan about how unfair everything is and while it is unfair the wealth the poorest individual has in the united states is light years ahead of what kings had in the middle ages.

Throughout history poor people were happy because they believed they were born to that life so they didn't have the stress or jealousy of believing life was unfair to them. If you read any old philosophy book it's all lessons about being happy with what you have.

Believing you can raise yourself up and improve your life is a relatively new phenomenon, and society stopping people doing that leads to unhappiness.
Barrier to creating new music is much lower than for a TV show or movie, so record labels generally have much less power over the industry than TV/film producers & distributors. Services like Spotify and Apple Music can always go to artists directly, so it's in the record labels' best interests to negotiate in good faith.

In a dynamic language "strong" vs "weak" typing really depends on the standard library. All the examples in the given link - for example - focus on the addition function in the standard library. So here are some counter examples:

Everything can be used as a bool. This was often used to check for None, but had some issues when used with - for example - datetimes which evaluated midnight as false. In part due to the fact the integer 0 evaluates to false.

Changing type unexpectedly is the key example given in your link (`"foo" + 3` is `"foo3"`). Meanwhile in python `foo.method()` can change the type of the variable foo. Which is a level of fuckery commonly found in javascript.

Let alone the fact that dynamic duck typing encourages weak typing over performing explicit conversions. This is embodied by "easier to ask forgiveness than permission" which says it's better to catch the type conversion exception than check if the type is an integer ahead of time. Which then leads to implementing javascript-esque add functions anyway.

I'll grant you python is stronger than some other dynamic languages, but it is still at least half an order of magnitude weaker than Julia, which is strong in ways approaching Haskell.
Yep, Louis rossman, a popular apple repair guy on YouTube talks similiar about this a lot. The overwhelming majority of problems are fixable for 10 minutes or less and less than a dollar in components. But apple will just tell you to buy a new board and purposefully makes it harder for repair.
The whole 'sustainability' is a marketing act.
I'm quite disappointed that the aboriginal cultures of Australia are not factored into this. Bias against the idea that they might have been a civilisation?

Oldest oral traditions of any human culture. Oldest, still being worked, mining operation of any human culture. A hippocratic oath encoded in their culture while we, white Europeans, bled people to their deaths.

I think this report, while interesting - is not quite as complete a view of human civilisation as it could be. Australian aborigines throw out the whole idea - until white guys came along and genocided them, they were the oldest, longest-running civilisation of humankind, ever.

We don't talk about this era anywhere near as much as we should.
Too many rich, old, soft people who now have settled and moneyed lives, and don't want to make the same sacrifices that the generation previously were forced to, by unfortunate circumstance. Too happy with their 2nd homes and retirement plans.

Because Resisting China is so iconic, it now becomes Google's identity. Now they have some pragmatic board members what to go into that market once again, but find themselves unable to do so, because it is enshrined by many of its employees as its glorious legacy.

I'd say forget about Chinese market, let aside Google's own identity struggle, Chinese government, under Xi, is much more stringent about its iron fist control over internet. Also the internet demographics have evolved. When Google quits China, it was hailed by many secretly as hero, now the ultra-nationalist new generation of netizens will welcome Google by their endless outrage against Western hypocrisies. To them, Google isn't the gold child of Western technologism, it is just a homeless dog who is disliked by its new master.

It's actually not all that wrong, given a very loose and forgiving interpretation of what they mean.

Certificate authorities do "help" secure the connection by providing trust by "promising the traffic will not be intercepted" through an exploit in their certificate, and oftentimes insuring the connection to provide this trust (that's a lot of the difference in price between cheap and expensive certs, they insure for more). You could say this helps secure the connection by providing enough assurance that people are then willing to use the connection at all.

Welcome to the world of marketing and PR, where loose terminology, ambiguous phrasing means and a little imagination means never having to say you were wrong...

> So why shouldn't RoW have an input on the selection process?

Laws against treason and foreign manipulation of elections exist so that foreign nations don't conquer and kill us all. There is no doubt Russia and many other nations want to do that. I guess that's not a good enough reason for you? Do you have a self-preservation instinct? Do you want to live? There's a few really good reasons not to treat advertising for elections like advertising for toilet paper. It's literally a matter of life and death. Lying about how effective your toilet paper is, is not.
No, its mostly because turning down a offer(no matter what that is) from Google screams privilege. There are a lot of things related to prestige, and other hiring marketing related things that have built up this enormous clout of you having arrived at a big place in life if you land a job at FAANG companies.

So people just take whatever is offered. Because, there are tens of thousands of people applying for these jobs. Most of them are likely to better than you and they didn't crack all competitive coding style interview to land a job like you did. So people just find it hard to turn down the offer and take it.

It's only later do they realized they are not building the next search engine. Nor building the next gen e-commerce platform, but building Jsons and posting to dataservices. By then you are conditioned to free food and you are not comparing your salary with people outside but inside.

Its always hard to admit you didn't negotiate well or fell for the marketing appeal of the company. Its easy to find conspiracies and accuse others of malice. The later story is more appealing, makes you a victim and makes the other side look bad.

Anecdotal experience, but never had any issues with the Pismo, which I used well past the mid-2000s. I did have screen problems with the first titanium PowerBook G4, flickering, glitching, and then after a few months the thing just died and had to be replaced. That was after the hard disk failed as well in the first month of use. And it's been one thing or another ever since then. Being an Apple customer of several decades, I sincerely do not understand this myth of fantastic quality they have. I have had IBM and Lenovo fail much less, and HP... Actually never.

Edit ： Just checked dates, and yes, I used the Pismo for 8 years. The PowerBook G4 barely 3 years and couldn't get rid of it fast enough.
> Well, they also make it so you can't have some really horrible things

The really horrible things can and do happen regardless of whether you make platforms liable for user content.

There is no real evidence that is true and several reasons to expect that it isn't, in much the same ways that SESTA made life more difficult and dangerous for sex workers.
By keeping an open mind. It's ok if 90% of women want to just play with kids all day, and 90% of men want to play with guns all day. But telling, suggesting, stopping the other 10% from trying the other side is the problem.

It's inherently hard. After all, statistically 9 out of 10 will match your expectations, but you should embrace the outliers, help them understand, that they're perfectly okay, and capable of doing whatever they think they want, be it guns, C++, teacher, nurse, etc.
In other words, anyone could build a prosperous society on the back of slaves if they have some natural resources to exploit.

But that ceases to be competitive past a certain level of technology and value-add. Even slaves in the American South got paid extra for work requiring exceptional skill and attention to detail. It turns out you can't whip people into producing quality past a very basic level.

The legacy of that is still what drives a lot of the economy in the US even today.

No. That's a propaganda fiction used by the Far Left to bring down the current order.

The dynamics that make sneakers valuable collectibles are not governable. A lot of the "value" is probably generated by dealers, scarcity, sell-outs and such.

If they tried to capture all the value by auctioning, they might sink the whole thing.
China has a leg up in that plan. They already control China. Greater Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, here we come!
Thanks for sharing. This is quite interesting as we’ve been mulling over library support for our platform.
A classic Apple move. Then a year later, they will offer to "fix" the affected model with "reasonable price", and people still have no choice but to go along with it.
Whoever made that promo video. Wow, great work there. Love the visualizations.
I don't know about others, but I don't dare to buy Apple products anymore. My 2012 MacBook Pro is still going strong, but newer MacBooks don't have anywhere near the same build quality and durability.

When you have an issue, and complain about it or even ask advice what to do, I've often encountered toxic behavior from Apple fans. Denying the problem's existence and such.

The problem is of course what to heck to buy. MacBooks do have nice features, like fast wakeup and an excellent touchpad, that I still haven't seen matched in the "Windows" laptop camp.
Apple Music's family subscription costs on Rs.180 for 6 users. That's an order of magnitude cheaper than Spotify, which to me seems super hyped. There can't be 1 single best way to discover music, people tell me that they find great music through me, but that's because I constantly listen to new music with the intention of finding great songs. Buying a few recommendation companies can't solve music discovery.
How do you factor in path dependence? (A kind of inertia, that either requires some affirmative action style correction, or an "unfairly" long time to overcome.)
If you’ll open https://reactjs.org/ you’ll read right on their main page:

Then I guess the culture is the actual threat. Just like the anti-vaccination culture.

Last years there are many fuckups with pro models.
This topic is going to keep coming up because there isn't a single correct answer for all situations. It's like arguing about which editor is better.

I have my opinions, but at the end of the day you need to choose what is right for your team and your project. You also should be open to new ideas and looking for ways to improve your current development processes and tooling. At the end of the day, version control is a means to an end and shouldn't be something that consumes a significant amount of your developers' time.
Judging by the number of failed magsafe cables I've seen, I suspect the strain relief was more decoration.
You'd be more interested in knowing that Apple Music's family offering (for 6 users) is for $2.54/mo in India. Yes that's correct, $2.54 for 6 users!!!
I always wondered why the battery isn't part of the bottom cover - it seems making a once piece bottom/battery would save space and allow for a bigger battery. I guess it's so that its deliberately difficult to replace.
Though most varieties of modern 'Hinduism'/Sanatana Dharma are rather different from 'Vedism'.
just like their generous $30 battery replacements on iPhones after they were caught slowing down the iphones.

Did the Author ever determine if the source images came from Drone-based WAMI or Satellite-based WAMI as originally reported? The original article in the intercept noted that the Google e-mails they had obtained showed that it was Satellite-based WAMI - which would sort of be a big deal..... AKA - who needs solar powered High Altitude Long Endurance (HALE) drone planes, blimps or aerostats to deploy Wide Area Persistent Surveillance when you can just put WAMI on Micro-sats that never come down and never blink?
> ...to do something in China

They are not doing "something", they are building an oppression machine.

Your comparison between consuming Chinese goods and actively aiding the oppressing system is a false equivalence fallacy.

> For example an Erlang or Haskell programmer can't do anything about memory layout anyway

No, but we can make algorithms that will do things in other ways than standard. Knowing memory layout and behaviour enables programmer to invent better ways to do things. Of course those algorithms are very application specific, but at least it increases solution space. Erlangers mantra here is "profile this" so that you know which one is actually better.
I had to read it twice to get that they were writing about a CA. Definitly a writer without a clue.

"The detailed USB4 specification will be published in the middle of 2019 and half-assed, cheap hardware that only implements a subset of the total features list in order to cut corners on cost but still use the new name should appear in 2030 behind flimsy out-of-spec connectors and loose, easily damaged cables."

I had to add a few things to manage expectations and more accurately reflect reality, but I think we've got it now.
I wonder if there is some fertile ground for tooling that can bridge the gap so you don't have to make and actual binding choice when you setup your project. For example tooling that federates multiple repos in a way that preserves most or all the advantages of the monorepos.

> Sure, evolution and ideas take time, but it seems it took much less time once the right mindset was in place.

Right. But come to think of it, that mindset is, too, a technology. It took a while to develop, and its evolution seems to be intertwined with the inventions humans made over time, and the shape societies took.
Given this website attracts loads of innovators and wannabe innovators I'm inclined to take this thought with a grain of salt. There is so much blind faith in the vigor of youth and new ideas that I wonder if many of you can even imagine a world that runs at any slower pace than today.

Given that we are supposedly past the age of aggression and conquering, do you think a peaceful society that keeps to itself is capable of surviving on its own, with a level of happiness that is high by their own (if not world) standards?
much change determines a civilization?

Change happens faster in the centers of civilization. So change is as much an indicator of the degree of civilization.
Same boat. I rationalized to myself when I bought it that this would be the laptop I stuck with for a decade. I didn't realize the reason I'd be doing that is because the current generations are just so bad. (Keyboard, touchbar, aggressive port diet, etc.)

If someone were to steal this, I'd probably get a Thinkpad at this point. At least their keyboards don't suck, and I can get by with the half-decent touchpad. Maybe even convert to the red little nib...

Too many “suppose”s.

At speeds over 100kmh (62 mph) you gain only 36 seconds or less per 10 kmh (6.2 mph) of speed increase per 10 km (6.2 miles) of distance.

So, you need to be in a dire situation, already traveling at top speed, on a road that doesn’t lead away from danger, where ~30 seconds of time would make a difference.

That’s a lot of ifs and edge cases.

What a joke, Google as a company (and its employees) are massive hypocrites who criticizes China for its censorship and silencing speeches and free thoughts, then they themselves silence and punish employees for not aligning with THEIR opinion and political views on things. Let's not forget the time Google fired the employee for having a different view on diversity.
