I pulled out high school history textbook, "The American Nation - A History of the United States" by John A. Garraty (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_A._Garraty ) to see what it says on the topic. It's from 1979, and is an older edition of the textbook I used in high school.

Chapter 22, which we never reached when I was in HS, is titled "From Isolation to Empire". The last section is titled "Non-colonial Imperial Expansion", and it's relevant to this topic:

> If one defines imperialism narrowly as a policy of occupying and governing foreign lands, American imperialism lasted for an extremely short time. With trivial exceptions, all the American colonies - Hawaii, the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, the Guantanamo base, and the Canal Zone - were obtained between 1898 and 1903. In retrospect it seems clear that the urge to own colonies with only fleeting; the legitimate questions raised by the anti-imperialists and the headaches connected with the practical management of overseas possessions eventually produced a change of policy.

> ... the Roosevelt Corrollary and dollar diplomacy signalled the consolidation of a new policy. ...

> Yet imperialism can be given a broader definition. The historian William Appleman Williams, a sharp critic, has described 20th-century American foreign policy as one of "non-colonial imperial expansion." Its object was to obtain profitable American economic penetration of underdeveloped areas without the trouble of owning and controlling them. Its subsidiary aim was to encourage these countries to "modernize," that is, to remake themselves in the image of the United States. ...

> Examined from this perspective, the Open Door policy, the Roosevelt Corollary, and dollar diplomacy make a single pattern of exploitation, "tragic" rather than evil, according to Williams, because its creators were not evil but only of limited vision. They did not recognize the contradictions in their ideas and values.

So there too you see that the US had an empire, in practical terms, and depending on the definition, that imperial policy existed for more than a few years.

Toleration/decriminalisation and harm reduction policies are really important, to give you a parallel: look here at Sweden [0] that despite being really socially progressive in regards to gender and social equality still has some of the most strict drug policies in the developed world. It's not only illegal to trade drugs but also to consume them, if you are caught, for example, during a raid on a rave by the police and they test you for drugs you will get fined and can go to court for it (being imprisoned isn't happening though). You will still have a record for about 5 years even though you had no drugs in your possession. Also, needle exchange programs are fucked up as there is not national policy, it's left to the kommuner and so these programs vary wildly between cities, addicts die because of this paralysis of the system.

Portugal is the most common example of how harm reduction policies help to decrease mortality and usage, a better informed population where drugs aren't taboo makes their usage be lower and more responsible.

I have some Dutch friends, most don't really smoke weed as often, usually on a special occasion. Harder drugs usage is also more responsible, most of them test their drugs before consuming, don't overdo it. Openness and information invites responsibility.

In that instance, the reaction from the USG was, "Eh, credit monitoring should just about cover it," negating the fact that credit monitoring does fuck-all in the espionage space but what do I know...?

Not true. There are a number of important differences. The US gradually merged into a single currency over a long period of time. As a nation the states have a sufficiently integrated fiscal policy such that budget redistribution is possible. Furthermore the US has a common language and genuinely frictionless trade between states developed over many years. The Eurozone is a bunch of homogeneous economies glued together without fiscal integration or adequate redistribution mechanisms.

And the phrase "United States of Europe", in turn, was coined a hundred years before Churchill. And the idea is older still.

Then again, it's also just a logical extension of the same process through which the most powerful European states today have formed themselves.
> Even more curious is that IT culture is basically that if you want to get paid what you're worth, you have to quit and go to another company.

This is not just IT, this is the entire job market. The reason is because jobs are "sticky" — it's a pain to apply for jobs, arrange interviews, deal with the possibility of getting rejected. If you're successful you also have to deal with possibility of leaving colleagues that may be friends, the risk that the new position is less stimulating, or having to move house or deal with a new commute.

There is a very real salary range between "low enough that I'll think about applying for other jobs" and "so low I'll actually start applying for jobs". Employers are aware of this and are paying salaries accordingly. It sucks for everyone in that salary band but — ethics and long-term viability aside — it's still the rational economic choice for employers. Every now and again someone will quit and get their deserved 40% increase, but many will delay leaving for years, or simply put up with it indefinitely.

edit: Side-note: if you happen to find interviewing and changing jobs more tolerable than most then congratulations! — You've won the job-market pain-of-change-vs-salary arbitrage game and will enjoy above-average year-on-year salary increases.

> Fourth, products that collect this info become better. If you're ok with webapps collecting this but not native apps (like VS Code), then the consequence might be that web apps end up being much better than native apps.

So what? VScode can also be used as web app already, it's not about what others do or don't with their online services. The question is about the expectation and respect to the end user, having telemetry on by default is disingenuous to say the least.
No it wasn't. The point of the euro was mainly political - a step towards a single European state. Economically the benefits are reduced transaction costs and reduced currency risk between countries within the single market.
Generally, freedom of movement is a good thing, allowing the most productive people to go to places that enable them to produce the most. The issue appears to be that the EU isn't a real country. Taxing winners and transferring resources to losers of the open borders/single currency zone turns out to be really important.

Yeah. Zero trust for all systems, including your own. You need TLS and Auth, preferably the users Auth if the app requires that.

But also, assume it will happen so use some auditing and alerting capabilities to detect.

Review the code you're trusting, or at least look at who's shipping it so you know what your trusting ( random individual / reliable group ).

Scan as many dependicies you have, so you're aware of these rather than just luckily reading it on hacker news.

All this is really just the MVP.
most people here aren't talking about speed of editing, but rather speed of code navigation.

I'm not sure if this is positive or negative. But somehow more or less encouraged JavaScript community move towards:

1. Minimal interfaces
2. Better documentation

Say like React although the codebase is more or less difficult to read. But the most useful surface-level APIs are quite minimal and intuitive. There are more minimal libraries follow this pattern.

And for the documentation -- probably because of the minimal interfaces, successful JavaScript libraries tend to have better documentation over most of the languages. A lot of documentation with both quick start guide and great higher level design or motivation explanation, instead of just generating doc from comments.

I think that's why this community is moving fast forward because people trying to be communicative, and constantly trying to simplify and introducing new ideas. It's very hard for people just read the code to understand some brand new concepts without a good understanding of the high-level constructs.

It may be worthwhile to note that the Euro never had support of the German people and it’s very difficult what the long term impact will be for them. My impression is that they borrow other countries money (through ECB and TARGET) to buy their goods that get produced while creating very little wealth for the average worker (in terms of net purchasing power per productivity).
I thought it was a funny joke. You have to remember he's a psychologist. When it comes to children they think very simply in terms of reward and punishment to "train" children to learn to behave. You should've seen that from everything else he said about his interactions with children. I don't know how you can also come away with that psychoanalysis of him, I'd say you're reading into it too much. In reality, we are human and small things tend to irritate the majority of us from time to time. I'd also add that aggression is a tool that has certain uses throughout life, you can't always live life on the defensive. Young adults of any gender should be told that this is a tool at your disposal and completely okay to use at certain times.

For the lobster thing, I read it as neutral information. I took it as he was bringing up a similarity he has observed between the lobster behavior and popular plots in entertainment that seem to be popular with certain types of women. He's just presenting a connection for readers to make up their own minds about rather than stating some fact. However I also think most young men who read that will tend to agree with him quite easily, it definitely feels like it could partially be true (bad boy stereotype is a thing isn't it?). Also would you consider yourself in general to be a 'usual' female compared to the general population say personality wise or any other metric even? Just being on HN tells me you're already unusual, wouldn't you say?

> Perhaps he shouldn’t bother linking order/chaos with gender at all.

The point he is making though is that they have traditionally been associated with gender. Just look at any religious art or any art for that matter pre-dating cameras (abstract art took over post the invention of cameras for obvious reasons) and you will find thematic ties to gender. In fact, walk into any church and look at the ceiling, that will show you how the west have thought about this chaos/order duality for 2000 years now.

With that said, is there a way to argue that perhaps feminine is order and masculine is chaos? hell yea. But please note that I wrote "most often", which is also his claim. You could however make the opposite argument and we can have a healthy discussion about the proper metaphorical language space we can use to describe such abstract concepts. But the idea of being offended because gender was used historically is rather nuts. People used what was historically available to them to use in terms of abstract story telling tools. Gender was one of those tools. Getting mad at it is borderline crazy imo.

> but what Peterson is trying to get at by this feminine chaos/masculine order thing - apart from a truly boring “the middle way is the best” argument that you point out and which clearly doesn’t require a gender linking to make - is completely unclear.

It seems to me that you are making the assumption that there IS more to it than that. Which I see no evidence for.

What I don´t really understand is: why really stop? why shouldn´t he link gender with the chaos/order duality? because people get offended? If that is the reason then all of us can say nothing at all. Because I can find a reason to get offended by anything you say. That can´t possibly be a reasonable demand either. How would we ever have any discourse in society if when someone is offended we are all required to be quiet about said thing?

The irony of this whole discussion is that you are demonstrating why Peterson keeps saying that we are slipping into chaos. We are trying to protect everyone who´s offended to the point where society as a whole is slipping toward the Oedipal mother pathology.
Swarm documentation might not be perfect, but it is not outdated - https://swarm-guide.readthedocs.io

I believe the chapters about PSS, Swarm Feeds, ENS, Architecture, among others, are mostly up-to-date.

You can read about the incentivisation layer at https://swarm-gateways.net/bzz:/theswarm.eth/ethersphere/ora...

Currently incentivisation is not integrated or implemented in Swarm, so a user has no guarantees about what happens with their uploaded content. If the node hosting it disconnects from the network, it will be gone. The plans to address this are through the sw^3 protocols suite and/or erasure coding.

Regarding plain text - it doesn't really matter what bytes you store in Swarm - encryption is implemented and you can store non-encrypted or encrypted bytes, this has nothing to do with incentives for persistent storage.

We try to do outreach and answer community questions when possible, but the team is not big and this is currently done on a best-effort base, we could definitely improve on that front, I agree.

They got so much better with actual competition and their own R&D instead of just stealing and hurting the innovator.

Us as customers got a lot more options because of competition, not because of theft.
It's a very good observation, and I think it's more than just a funny aside. The word 'elastic' connotes increasing resistance as the cluster grows, but this is a false intuition. From AWS's POV 'resistance' to adding a node is generally small, fixed, and, in general, independent of cluster size. I suspect this is what makes cloud computers in general, and EC2 in particular, such a cash-cow.

Moreover it turns out that elasticity is a very valuable quality of a cluster for most workloads; we want this intuition to be true, that our cluster meets resistance as it grows, in the sense that it will shrink when the workload decreases. This matches our economic intuition, too. We want this so much we have to build another software layer to make this happen - e.g., k8s.
Sure, of course, but requiring a serial connection through a physical cable is still a less useful attack vector than ssh over wifi, which is what I gathered from the grandfather post - but not the article.

Device UUID will still leak an usage pattern. For example, if an UUID is active in the morning and in the evening during the week but at random times during the weekend you can infer that they are working, their approximate working hours and the fact they are not working on weekends.

Just a simple example - I’m sure a data scientist can do a lot more magic given enough data.
Which is fine really. It would be more worrisome if you agreed 100% or disagreed 100%. That means that you´re not really listening.
While there are no EU direct taxes, there are redistribution schemes in the EU. I don't know how their magnitude compares to that of American interstate redistribution though.

It's called R&D, spending too innovate is what it does.

Stealing it, is not R&D, it's theft and punishable by law.

The credit for the first functional memristor goes to the Hewlett-Packard Company—in particular, researchers R. Stanley Williams, Dmitri B. Strukov, Gregory S. Snider, and Duncan R. Stewart—for building a bi-level titanium dioxide thin film containing dopants (impurities) on one side that migrate to the other side when a current is applied and back when the opposite current is applied, changing the resistance in each case. Hewlett-Packard is working on incorporating memristors into traditional integrated circuits.

Yeah, I believe you're right. It might be a matter of framing. If you show me the value of collecting telemetry data, what good decisions you've made because of it, how you got rid of that annoying thing plenty of users complained about because you saw that it affected a large group of users and wasn't just a loud dozen etc, you might sell it to me.

Most data collection for "analytics" is just about you as the product owner optimizing the product for whatever goal you want to, engagement, sales, ad clicks, retention or what have you. I as a user that provides the data gain nothing from that and, being the target of those manipulations, I might actually lose (by spending more time on your site than I wanted to etc), but if you can show that I give data = I get better product, I don't think I'd be that hard to convince.

I don't know if VS Code does something in that regard (if they do, they don't communicate it effectively enough to reach me), but I do like their approach in general - I once read through an issue where they discussed changing some component for a more advanced one and pretty much everybody agreed that the newer one was better, but they still had a few words on "how can we measure that? how can we make sure that it's not just us devs that work on this thing all day and it won't be the same for the people using it in their daily life on all kinds of experience levels". I liked that a lot (so much so that I still remember it months after reading), but apparently not quite enough to enable telemetry data ;)
The problem is actually worse than that: even if you buckle your baby in it’s still unsafe for unmonitored sleeping as the baby’s airway can compress due to the incline. Using the product as the picture and text on the box depicts (sleeping next to Mom as she sleeps in bed, great for ‘all-night’ sleep) risks death. The initial CSPC statement and the company’s response all (deliberately?) ignore that issue and those deaths.

The American Academy of Pediatrics is clear: the only safe way to sleep is on a baby’s back, with no padding and on a flat surface. This product was never certified for safe sleep; Fisher-Price calls it a ‘sleeper’ instead of a regulated term like bassinet or crib to get around this fact.
