The rise of Falun Gong was well correlated to a period of economic uncertainty in the late 90s, especially in the Manchurian rust belt cities where neoliberal reforms lead to massive unemployment and poverty. While the allegation of torture and organ harvesting are substantive, these acts were in no way targeted at FG followers or political prisoners in general. And FG's attempt at monopolizing such victimhood only comes off as disingenious.

Nowadays FG is very much a shadow of its former glory these days in China thanks to both supression efforts as well as improved economic prospects. Its influence has aged much better outside China because the Chinese diaspora's world view is more or less stuck in the 1990s, like it was the end of history according to Francis Fukuyama.
Not the US, but much of the countryside in Japan is undergoing similar demographic and economic collapse. Most visitors stick to areas accessible from airports, trunk roads and shinkansen lines, so it hasn't gotten so much international attention. But if you rent a car and drive into the mountainous interior, or outlying regions like Shikoku, you'll find plenty of emptying, aging villages, adbandoned stores and factories and return-to-the-state-of-nature decay. Richard Hendy's blog, Spike Japan, had many well-researched and beautifully written posts on this phenomenon, unfortunately he stopped updating a few years ago.

It is generally thought that increasing women's education level is the most effective route to reducing population growth...

This is because educated women choose to have fewer kids later.

Luckily this solution is not only effective but is also very much acceptable in a liberal democracy!
They didn't give me any specific reasons. The recruiter called me one day after my video interview. She only told me they didn't think I was a good fit. In the interview, I finished the coding questions in 30 mins. Then I just had a chat with the interviewer. The conversation went fine. He told me he was full-stack eng and worked on frontend. I asked him whether he worked with Benjamin De Cock, a stripe designer I admire and if he could share some stories. He said yes but didn't want to share stories.

> What I mean by the value, is what employers are willing to pay. Even Kaplan admits that college graduates get paid more. The subsidy should drive more people into college, but depress the wages of college graduates.

The fact that college graduates get paid more seems adequately explained by the signalling model he presents. How else do you explain the big pay differences for college graduates vs people who dropped out early? They are bigger than you'd expect from just skill/knowledge gain.

> it benefits graduates more than it benefits countries as a whole, suggesting that something about college education enables people to keep more of their own production.

Kaplan would agree would you there, he thinks it makes sense for individuals now to go to college, but as a society it doesn't make sense to subsidize, because it is mostly just signalling, and there are cheaper ways to achieve that.

An analogy he uses is that say you are at a movie theater, and you could see better if you stood. It could be true, but it doesn't follow that everyone could see better if everyone stood.
She doesn't matter to anything, running a country with a tiny population with a decent land mass at the end of the world is not an indication to anything. Anybody can say nice words, the difficult task is to tackle the hard issue of immigration and integration. Did she solve already the systematic problems of the native community there?
Sadly, I've only heard anecdotal evidence from young teachers I know, and maybe some reading I've done in the past, so I don't have any sources on hand to point to, and maybe it's isolated rather than endemic.

You're right that it's hard to quantify whether someone is a good teacher or not, but I don't think it's impossible to judge. It's probably impossible to make it a simple succinct rubric, though. Maybe it's a challenge for a universal function approximator like a neural net :-)

Something about the framing of this irks me. The idea that we were all confused about how to feel before she set the tone doesn't resonate with what I experienced on the ground.

We were proud of Jacinda Ardern because she reacted how we reacted, except that she did so more eloquently.

In the moments after it happened, all of the people around me were disgusted with the act. All of us wanted to express our how devastated we were for the victims. And all of us were sad and angry that one deluded person could take a shit on the entire ethos of our country.

And then we heard Jacinda talk. And we thought, yeah. Good. She gets it.

I was once served eviction papers by Louisville police over going a full winter without gas in my apartment. It wasn't that I neglected a bill, but that thanks to other obligations I knew I couldn't afford it, so I never opened an account. The landlords understood until the badges showed up, and then wouldn't return my deposit. So I was punished, half a week in jail followed by a couple of homeless months, for not being a customer. It absolutely happens.

Having worked in tech for a few years in non-tech roles (analytics, product) I was looking for a code bootcamp because I didn’t want to look back and regret not deeply learning in a way that I felt like I could not do with self study alone.

I was skeptical but decided to start in SF earlier this month at the best rated/most reputable one I could find.

Obviously still early on, but I can say that I’m already grasping concepts better than I have just doing code academy/coursesa/reading SO alone on and off over the years.

It’s very possible there isn’t anything special specifically about this program, but if you basically commit to doing nothing but one thing for 16 hours a day (full day on site with projects, lectures, and then homework at night) plus weekend study for weekly tests then you will get better at anything.

Most colleges, though, aren’t really structured to support students to become good at just one thing. Though I’d also argue they aren’t necessarily designed to be job factories.

This bad reputation is usually based on people's experiences of consuming this through smoking the leaves. This can be and often is very intense, intensely psychedelic, and deeply terrifying.

That might be more like what was called an FEXPR mechanism in some early Lisps or some niche Lisps, or even in languages like R.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fexpr

When an FEXPR is called, it gets unevaluated args and can then at runtime decide what to do.

Macros OTOH are a different mechanism, where expressions get rewritten at macro expansion time, which can be for example at compile time. The macro then gets called with arbitrary expressions it encloses (those don't need to be valid code by themselves) and computes new source.

Thus macros are code generators from expressions. In a compiled implementation, macro expansion is done with compilation interleaved: each form gets expanded, even repeatedly until it no longer expands into a macro, and then the resulting non-macro form gets compiled.

Thus in a way a macro does not delay execution, it does the opposite: it actually shifts computation to compile time -> the computation of code from expressions and the computation of arbitrary side effects in the compile-time environment.

In an interpreter version of Lisp, the macro gets also expanded at runtime - but in its own macroexpansion during evaluation. There eval will call the macroexpander repeatedly until it gets a non-macro form.

Now, what can you do with arbitrary complex code generators at compile time? https://stackoverflow.com/a/2563308/69545

Actually Paul Graham wrote a classical Lisp book explaining a bunch of things around macros. Available here for download:

http://www.paulgraham.com/onlisp.html

The classic Lisp article which motivated the move from FEXPRs to macros:

https://www.nhplace.com/kent/Papers/Special-Forms.html
Take a macro like (infix x + vx * dt). It's not equivalent to calling some function with thunked arguments -- it has to analyze the literal text of the arguments to turn this into (+ x (* vx dt)).
Rust has no strict aliasing, so all Rust types are may_alias.

> which implies air conditioning uses the equivalent of 176 gallons of gas per year.

Yes, cars do produce more CO2 than air conditioning, but in the context of CO2 emissions, you can't just compare "equivalent of gas gallons".

First, not all electricity is generated from fossil fuels (63% in the US, much less e.g. in many parts of Europe).

Second, to produce 6000 kWh of electricity from fossil fuels, you have to burn much more than the theoritical amount, because the efficiency of conversion is much lower than 100% (although in cold climates you may use combined heat & electricity production).

In the end these are irrelevant details, as we must stop burning fossil fuels anyway. Every part of the chain is important, and the argument "but x produces even more CO2 than y, so I keep using y" is of course stupid.
Nepotism and complacency both exist in non-union work places sure. Just from my own experience, and hearing stories from those around me, they seem to be both more prevalent and more severe with unions.

Of course this is anecdotal and I don't have data to prove one way or the other. All I can say is, given the choice I'd rather not be in an union for my next job.

I think if we want unions to be more common place and more embraced, a good place to improve are some of the ones we currently have.

That isn't an argument, that is literally the market definition used by the EC.

You are literally wrong, and clearly didn't do you homework:

http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-16-1492_en.htm

"At this stage, the Commission considers that Google is dominant in the markets for general internet search services, licensable smart mobile operating systems and app stores for the Android mobile operating system."

Not only the EC used "licensable smart mobile operating systems" but it also used "app stores for the Android mobile operating system".

It assumed that Android does not compete with iOS and that the Play store does not compete with the App store.

> The workers are responsible for creating almost all the value, since they do the work.

Completely disagree. I believe most of the value of a company is created by the vision of its founding team and the execution of its leadership not the numerous workers along the hierarchy. I also think the 80-20 rule maybe a good way to identify how much value creation should be attributed to a group of workers ie on average most likely 80% of the value is created by 20% of workers.

I was pretty sure I'd see this:

> If an option is highlighted, never change it, even if new data is loaded.

They're quite deliberate in favoring showing new things in response to additional keystrokes over results that have already been displayed and not selected with fewer keystrokes.

This annoys me, but I type faster than I read even when I'm searching. I don't think most people do so it makes sense to not keep showing the same result after more keystrokes.

Plus I think it just looks smarter, and surfaces more results. So if you're using the autocomplete of Spotify, you see more songs than you would if it kept showing the same result.

I think they're trading function and usability for showing the user more stuff, and making the app look more intelligent.

For an example of what I'm talking about, if I type "ha" into spotify, "Happy Now" is the third result. If I type "p" so it's "hap", it becomes the sixth result. Sometimes it pushes it all the way to past the end of the screen.

That depends on the person, doesn't it? I have a nephew that has had issues with ADD. He is an intelligent young man, but not cut out for the kind of butt-in-seat stamina that it takes to get a college degree. He is currently almost done with a commercial electrician apprenticeship, and has finally hit his stride. He is doing well in his job, and acing all the licensing exams. He also has the kind of personality that cultivates good customer relationships, which makes me think that in a few years he could easily set up his own shop.

Not everybody is well-served by college.

In my country she has received a significant amount of acclaim for her handling of this tragedy, for acknowledging and centering the fact that this attack was targeted at the Muslim community; and she rapidly made clear that our country's response to this must be to make our country safer and more welcome for our Muslim community. There still remain many unknowns about the specifics the move to ban or restrict semiautomatic weapons, and we will know more over the next fortnight.

That said, many nations that experience tragedies seem to respond with excessive veneration of their leaders, and hagiographic portrayals are always(?) unmerited.

For starters, NZ's security services -the SIS and GCSB- have spent the last two decades surveilling (sometimes illegally) Muslims, environmental groups like Greenpeace, critics of weapons manufacturers, euthanasia advocates, media piracy barons, and Māori (indigenous) critics of the government, with no discernible focus on right-wing White Supremacist groups- there has been no mention of them among ten years of annual reports.

The upcoming inquiry into this attack seems likely to be headed by party loyalists and would likely whitewash the security service focus aspect of the attack if our government does not choose a properly independent panel. I also strongly think the director of the SIS should resign but as yet there has been no indication that this will occur.
I wish we could get away from branded communication, especially for such important messages. Right after the massacre, Jacinda said the "they are us" live, with so much more nuance and sincerity than can be conveyed in a condensed bit of text. Highlighting the tweet misses the point.

I work with 900MHz radios and infrastructure, here's my thoughts:

> The frequencies are what I'm confused by as well. To have a half mile range at relatively low powers it would need to be a low frequency band.

> I'm guessing they haven't bought licenses from the FCC, so my bet is that they're using the 900 MHz ISM band.

Seems likely, and probably even works in controlled tests over relatively short distances. 900MHz meshing radios certainly exist, like this one (no affiliation with them, haven't used the product): https://www.rajant.com/products/breadcrumb-wireless-nodes/lx...

>Even with a high 30 dB signal to noise ratio, the Shannon channel capacity in a 26 MHz band is 50 Mbps.

Impossible in urban areas without highly directional antennas (which aren't small). The effective noise floor in most even semi-developed areas I've worked in is ~-100 to -80dBm - it can be a struggle even with expensive radios and fixed infrastructure. 30dB SNR just isn't going to happen over any appreciable amount of range on this sort of device (a high gain parabolic dish? sure). Using all 26MHz of the spectrum with an omni directional antenna (again, as would be required) also isn't going to happen except over relatively short distances.

900MHz is good technology, and can get robust, long distance links with the right infrastructure (I most work on 1-10mi links). The limitations on a pocket sized device with a pocket sized antenna mean this is unlikely to work @ 900MHz- especially in their fantasized scenarios of being in areas with no cell phone coverage (cell carriers have access to better bands, and far better infrastructure).
Relax. Why do you expect a bunch of escalator mechanics to be on standby, readily available for a once in a generation escalator repair project? That's not how things work.
Historically speaking, I would say this trend would end with their citizens rebelling, but with robotics becoming more prominent, it's possible that revolution becomes impossible. Techno-fascism is the most dangerous form.
Anna Ridler uses AI to bring “tulipmania” into the future
I've flown on a 737 MAX a couple times this year. Smooth, comfortable, quiet flight. Although the failure of the MCAS system has been catastrophic, fortunately for Boeing the fix doesn't seem difficult... make an extra AoA vane or two mandatory and add a warning if they disagree, and require MAX pilots to sim train an MCAS failure.

The planes seem eminently airworthy, so far it appears they weren't brought down by anything that's terribly difficult to engineer out of. Unfortunately for Boeing and the FAA, nothing is more costly than an accident, it will take years to earn back the public's trust. Even if it's found the pilots were downright negligent in their handling of the MCAS failure, that won't make the general flying public feel any better about it, and it won't bring back the dead, may they rest in peace.
