Japan's culture is a double edged sword. The very same phenomenon that allows you to have politeness-by-default and lots of dedication to professionalism is the same mechanism by which you get glacial paces of change when the culture settled into the wrong ideology. There are lots of more downsides (lots of flipped-coin situations), but this is just one of them.

Japan is much less likely to change rapidly on this front than any other society, in my opinion changing attitudes everywhere else is what will convince Japan. One thing I could see is them legalizing marijuana but taxing is incredibly (as a way to offset some long-term economics issues), but I don't know of a single politician willing to be that progressive (and not lose backing)... That's not what "progressive" looks like here really.

> Large functions and large files are punished by that grading metric. I prefer to organize my code with lexical scope because the structure of code directly reflects the availability of capabilities. That is more simple but it also tends to result in really large functions that are trees of child functions. In this sense the Code Climate grading metric punishes that form of simplicity and instead suggests breaking things apart into many pieces to be put together. That is a punishment of simplicity in a very direct way even though the result is clean code that is faster to read

> The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did [0].

For context, that's a direct quote from John Ehrlichman who "was counsel and Assistant to the President for Domestic Affairs" under Nixon when Nixon declared the war on drugs. Everything kind of snow-balled from there.

According to the chronology provided by PBS [1], perhaps the first groundwork was put in place by LBJ founding the "Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs" in 1968 (campaign year that Nixon won), the timing of which correlates with Nixon's successful campaigning on a "theme to restore 'law and order'"[2].

Ahem ... that's not really my understanding what left means.
Sam Harris is definitely not left wing (see his discussions with a progressive: Glen Greenwald).

Brett Weinstein seems to be, but he's an exception.

The dark web was assoicated with Alex Jones (now he vanished from their website)

In addition, Peterson, Weinstein, Harris ... etc see themselves as libertarians. Freedom of speech advocates.
Yet, they just speak out when somebody of their tribe is restricted (see the Patreon debate or the Evergreen State College issues). If it's about somebody not in their "tribe", e.g. refusing a Pro-Israel Oath they are awfully quiet. https://theintercept.com/2018/12/17/israel-texas-anti-bds-la...

Real left wing, progressives (Greenwald, Jeremy Scahill, Amy Goodman) will defend freedom of speech even for people that they don't share a cause of opinions with.
For example: Greenwald defended Neo-Nazis as a lawyer on freedom of speech grounds.

Can't take the dark web serious. It's just another tribe pushing their agenda. Sam Harris is pro war against terror and talks about the US foreign politics as a "gentle, benevolent giant". Check what US does in Venezuela right now. And Compare Sam Harris actions to Jeremy who went undercover in Iraq ;)

Could you name a few countries you're thinking of?

Also, there is a huge amount of nuance lost in the term "drug". Alcohol is a drug, Tobacco is a drug, Marijuana is a drug, Oxycodone is a drug. I think what most people mean when they mention drug laws being harsh in the US is the combination of very high penalties for drugs that have been proven to have minimal negative repercussions, and the CIA's sordid history in the US and abroad. You don't have to take my word for it, since wikipedia exists[0] (there's lots more but it's a good starter).

Most societies may say they are anti drug, but how harsh is the sentencing, and how much of it is actually prosecuted?

[0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_drugs
Yes. This is the key point. And various commenters have made it here, in one way or another.

Also, as others have argued, only a vanishingly small percentage of musicians have ever made a living from their art. Even during the peak of the 40s-80s boom in recorded music. At least, if you include everyone that others have cared to listen to.

That is, you only made it if you signed with a record label that didn't screw you. And through graft or luck, hit the charts. Those are some serious filters.

Indeed, one could argue that direct marketing via the Internet has allowed more artists to earn at least some income from their music. If in no other way than getting paid for performances. It's just that the chances of making it big are lower.
I guess it had to do with hippies protesting aganst the Vietnam war, DuPont's money, Mexican farmers getting a buck, Eastern Block countries being hemp fibre exporters. The US esentially destroyed this industry in other countries, except for China and India who pretty much control this market now.

My guess is that, at least when it comes to Marijuana, conservatives are so deeply offended by drugs because they're anti-productivity. Pot slows you down, relaxes you, lowers drive (even just temporarily). For those on the right wing, this translates to, "it makes you lazy, a burden on society, it undermines the American spirit of hard work and self-started progress". They rationalize it any number of ways, but I think that aspect is what makes it personal.

> Would it? A centimeter is defined in terms of the speed of light.

It's defined in terms of the length of the path traveled by light in 9192631770/299792458 ticks of a cesium clock under particular conditions. In other words, it's defined in terms of facts that can be observed and measured without having to adopt any particular theory. This definition makes the "speed of light in vacuum" a universal constant equal to 299792458 meters per second, but that does not change anything about its being based on facts that can be observed and measured without having to adopt any particular theory.

> I believe you would call whichever clump is more justified "the facts" and whichever one is less justified "the model being tested".

Nope. Nothing you've said here has anything to do with the fact-model distinction. In each of your "clumps" there will be both facts and models.

Your belief system is a theoretical model. Does that help?

I'm Chinese. It's not that bad.

* I've been hosting my Chinese blog in US vps since 2009 and it works fine.

* I have Gitea hosted in US vps and it works fine too.

* GoDaddy has Alipay (sort of China's PayPal) up for a long time.

* ICP Licenses are easy to get (at least for Chinese) and typically take less a month. I've done it for my company's websites and my clients' websites.

* ICP licenses are required only if you want to host your website in China. Hosting in China is ridiculously expensive and many Chinese go out of their way to host elsewhere. For 9$ a month you get 1 cpu, 1G ram and 1MBit bandwidth, which translates to 128kb/s.

To make your website load, and load fast in China:

* Remove Google fonts, Google cdn, resources from FB, twitter, etc. this should fix 95% of your problem.

* Avoid well-known host providers (AWS, Vultr, Linode) if you can, they tend to get banned.

* Get a host with CN2. I heard hosting in Hong Kong is fast too. It's only necessary if you really want your site to be lightning fast. As a Chinese, if I'm visiting your website and your website is in English, then I probably expect it to be slow, so...

> do you want it to reliably tie outputs to inputs, or optionally tie outputs to inputs?

if the input to music is money, i argue that the output is poor quality music.

> Paying for things supports the enterprise that goes into providing them

and thereby changing the goal of the enterprise from producing music, to producing money from music. Look at modern pop music today? They are pretty terrible at best. And yet, the money keeps flowing in!

Nobody is saying that artists don't get paid - they get paid by selling their music in some form, and performing their music. But because the motivations for them doing music ins't due to money, the product end up being a labour of love - a true expression of art. I think patronage achieves the same goals, where as a mass market music business model doesn't get the same result because the goals of a mass market music business is to saturate, and to make sure that their audience is huge (so you end up with pop music).
That's like those people who disable JavaScript in their browser. Yes you can get through life without using SaaS and you will likely be fine. But you can also join the 21st century and get on with your life.

I like that I can pay for software based on how much I use it rather than ponying up hundreds of thousands of dollars once. A lot of the cheaper end SaaS-es could never ever be sustainable without the monthly subscription business model. Particularly because they themselves use SaaS and have to keep the lights on.

Imagine if isntead of paying a monthly fee to use whatever services companies use to run their company they'd be required to build everything in house? Ain't nobody got the funds for that.

Critical flaw lets hackers control lifesaving devices implanted in patients
No, only parts of Western Europe have tended to be particularly lighter than the US on drug laws. Aggressive US drug laws are also mostly a recent phenomenon (recent in the history of the country), the war on drugs era combined with mandatory minimum sentencing. For the majority of US history, there were few drug laws at all.

Nearly all of Asia, comprising 35-40% of the world population, lives under far stricter drug laws than exist in the US.

The US will federally legalize marijuana at some point in the next decade, as enough states legalize it. China is definitely not going to follow, you can expect them to hold firm on that. There's a chance that given some time (within two decades after the US legalizes it perhaps), South Korea and Japan will be seriously considering it. The US influence on those two nations will play a big role in the attitude change, and it'll still take a long time.

Hey thanks for the scrutiny! I'm using the -u option in rsync, preventing overwriting newer changes. So in your described case, it will signal a change remote (a lot of changes, but collapsed every 3 seconds) sync remote-local first then local-remote, both with the u option, so not updating if there's a newer version at the other end. No POOF, unless I'm mistaken. Cheers!

edit for clarity
The trick is every sync step is with -u (not replacing updated files) and done again in the other direction before restarting the watch.

What about HN? Their response to deleting comments is halfway between the thumb and the pinky.
What I'm trying to imply is that "not paying attention" is exactly what happened here.

The "attention checking" has a delay of a few seconds on it before it'll start warning you to grip the wheel. If your hands were on the wheel, and you were paying attention, there's no reaction time, since the erroneous control input would be overridden by your hands keeping you in your lane.

Put simply, if your grip on the wheel was loose enough to where the computer-generated move could physically move the wheel, you weren't in control of the vehicle and would be generating warnings.

It really depends on what you're doing. A lot of the time, neither garbage collection pauses nor reference cycles are an issue; and when they are it's typical that one or the other will solve the issue.
In my experience more people than you might expect have experience with cannabis in Japan. I was at a small party and the topic of cannabis came up. I asked the group if anyone had smoked it before. Everyone gave a resounding "No, of course not".

When the party was winding down, two separate people said "Actually, I've tried it. I just didn't want to say anything in front of other people."

I find it strange how in the next few weeks up and down the country Japanese people will go out and many will get very drunk from morning to night while sitting under the blooming sakura trees but any other drug is so taboo you can barely mention it in polite company.

> Now, if you want to say, "they're both evil," fine. Evil is a binary thing, so it naturally sidesteps the argument about who is stepping on your toes and who is sawing them off. Still, Chariman Xao sure is holding a sharp saw over there...

I should have used a sarcasm tag. YES, I am saying they're both evil. And I'm disgusted that American's are being just as bad as the Chinese government. And if I must choose, I'd rather have the Chinese style of honest authoritarianism than the smug and dishonest authoritarianism that is encroaching on the west.

I'm not a Chinese shill. I used to be proud of my country. I used to actually admire Google. And now they are licking the boots of the Chinese government.

There are almost certainly innocent people who are dying in prison camps because of indifference, if not outright assistance of our Silicon Valley robber barons. When American corporations assisted in other genocides during WWII, we didn't invite their executives to give freaking TED talks.

And the smugness. At least the oil executives and weapons dealers who funded both sides of bloody wars didn't preach to us about how woke they were while they were doing it.

And on top of everything else, a large part of the tech community celebrates censorship now.

So please forgive me for seeing hypocrisy. (that was sarcasm).

Outside of obvious examples in Asia, Brazil's drug laws have created a disaster there for one very large example:

"In 2005, 9 percent of those in prison were detained on drug charges -- now it’s 28 percent, and among women, 64 percent. The law, 11344/2006, has contributed to the last decade’s explosive rise of Brazil’s prison population. More than 620,000 inmates swelter in facilities built, in aggregate, for about 370,000."

"Under the 2006 law many users have simply been prosecuted as traffickers, made easier by the fact that the law does not set a minimum quantity of drugs to differentiate between users and traffickers."

My biggest frustration while browsing in China was reCAPTCHA. Most websites would load fine, but then they would detect that I was in a new location and this would trigger their account protection bullshit and ask me to complete a reCAPTCHA that...wouldn’t load. This happened ALL THE TIME and is just excruciating.

Sometimes there wouldn’t even be UI that would load to indicate something was wrong. Logins would just fail with cryptic messages.

> I was told by Jake Adelstein, one of the leading experts on drugs and crime in Japan, and the author of the book Tokyo Vice.

He must be _really_ good to rank above all the experts who are from Japan.

OTOH, while Japan may have failed to produce leading experts on drugs and crime in Japan, they seem to be doing pretty decently in terms of actual drug and crime issues. If you were Japanese, would you want to follow American advice on drug and crime policy? There are many good things about America, but would you say its drug and crime situations are the highlights worth imitating?
Yes so the EFFECT is recorded cause the microphone hears it just the same as a human ear.
