they might have gotten away with exterminating all the Jews

If they hadn't started the war, they wouldn't have had access to most of the Jews. Only around ~560,000 Jews lived in prewar Germany whereas Poland had over 3 million alone.

The Nazis would've needed the cooperation of the other governments in their plan.

yeah, I bet if you talked to the average front-end dev and told them they spend all their time writing poorly-implemented lisp, they've have a few choice words to say about it ;)

From the CS point of view, sure, there are only a half-dozen languages. From the IT point of view, having a few years of experience dealing with the exact details of the "poor implementation of lisp" makes a massive difference in productivity and effectiveness.

There are also widely separate concerns between front-end and back-end. UI patterns is a whole discipline in itself. Deployment and CI, AWS vs DO, not to mention containers and swarms, is just a subset of one aspect of "dev ops" these days. There's also the entire subject of database design, of securing HTTP/S/2 traffic, data encryption schemes, logging strategies. It's endless, on both sides. And none of the skills are transferable. Knowing AWS doesn't help you implement a UI, and knowing React does nothing to help you design a database.

I dare you to try implementing a complex UI in React after learning FP, reading the docs and a "few days" ;)

But to get back to the analogy... I can easily see a neurosurgeon saying "teeth, they're just specialised bones! Give me a few days to brush up on the basics, and I'll have that wisdom tooth out in a jiffy" in the same manner.
You probably know how feedback (both positive and negative) work in systems. If not, it is the same process that makes a microphone scream if you are too close to the speaker. Often the area between no feedback and full on feedback is really tiny.

Climate is similar – with the tipping point according to current models around +1.5°C average temperature. That means if we manag to limit it to <1.5°C we won't enter a region where climate warming accelerates itself to a degree that makes it unstoppable.

And there is literally no debate about these mechanisms – there is a >97% consensus on this.

Of course we can do the silly thing and try out what happens, ruin our own existential basis, get the predicted migrant waves, conflicts, economic damages etc. Or we could do what a civilized society would do and act accordingly.
That's an odd definition of decentralization.

I have Bose QC35 and personally I think that app is great because:
1) you can select the level of noise cancellation, and I found that I appreciate more having a low level NC a part from when I am on a flight where I use high NC
2) you can select 2 devices to pair at the same time, having 2 laptops and my iPhone at work is great to be able to switch with an app

That said, these two actions do not require to collect users data..so they should stop doing that without users’ consent

It's not "whataboutism" to point out that this level of incarceration is not unusual. It is being portrayed as unusual in the article, when, in global-historical terms it is statistically perfectly normal. The small number of western democracies that do not practice violent state suppression of dissent and exploitation of the poor are the anomalies. The comparisons to Nazi Germany are also misleading. Nazi Germany was unusual in the degree to which it industrialized and systematized its racial slaughter, but the propaganda, state suppression, and state police brutality doesn't seem to me like an outlier among 20th century governments.
How does that happen? It's generating income with no dev and minor devops. If it came to need to scale, that would again be interesting.

My take on an answer: they knew that they'd have to create a working rocket in just a handful of attempts (turned out that they'd hardly had money for the fourth - the first successful - attempt). An ablatively cooled nozzle was the easiest way to solve the nozzle-cooling problem and they deferred work on a more sustainable method to later.

Other pragmatic solutions were for example that the booster and upper stage have the same diameter so that the same tooling could be used. Or that the diameter of the stages is 12 feet because that's the maximum diameter that could be easily and cheaply transported by road to the launch site.
Businesses that don’t have security issues when handling private data, obviously.

I agree with the GP, in that ease of starting companies should not be the primary goal, setting security and privacy on the back seat. It shouldn’t harder than it needs to, not easier at any cost.

Some of the US economy has benefited enormously from its trade with China.

It's hard to imagine anything more cynical than the US blaming China for the poverty and job losses caused knowingly by US corporations taking advantage of cheap Chinese labour and resources.
Do you think people shouldn't go to prison for serious financial, non-violent crimes?

And it's quite rude to project such a belief on someone. OP made no statement about their feelings toward mass incarceration, and claiming they are OK with it just because of the country they are in is like saying the Chinese are OK with what's happening in their own country.

It has always bugged me that people call the numbers that Cantor 'constructs' the real numbers.

Underlying it is the axiom of choice, which says that it is meaningful to talk about the results of processes that would take an infinite amount of time to complete. (e.g. choose an infinite number of digits that create a unique number.)

A number like 0 or 75 or 1/3 has a name, in fact all the integers and rationals have names. You can pick one out individually and talk about it. You might encounter it in some way.

Some irrationals (sqrt 11) and transcendentals (4 pi) have names. Most don't, and you will never see them as individual numbers, only as members of an interval.

I'd go stand in front of a tank right now. Like what are we actually supposed to do?

I have tons of motivation to do something about the largest totalitarian regime. Just tell me where to go and what to do.

I woulnd't assume that quite a few people don't feel this way. The issue isn't lack of motivation. It's the lack of any sort of leverage over a giant totalitarian foreign government.
Just to clarify: you hadn't heard of Greta Thunberg up until now?
I think America is less interested in an enemy to win against and simply one to dangle out in front. It's less about winning and more about continually justifying the military industrial complex. It's also probably why the conservative spectrum of political thought is has a sharp split with respect to foreign policy at the moment, with one side leaning towards isolationism and the other towards a more hawkish stance. That's not intended as a knock on conservatism, just a fairly surface-level observation.
Fair enough.

Can you point out some groups of people who "got suicided/..." in France/US/UK in recent years because of their political views?

More interestingly, while some have voted communism in, nobody seems able to vote communism out, without serious military involvement. I wonder why...
> I wonder if extending seccomp() and prctl() based approach can be a solution. SMT can be enabled but no process is running on a SMT thread by default. Non-confidential applications such as scientific computing or video games can tell the kernel to put their processes on SMT threads.

A valid option, though in general I'd rather allow it for everything except browsers.
Correct, can't argue that. I just dislike this meme that gets bandied around that England voted one way and Scotland another - neither did so with a single voice, and this was not a vote at a member-country scale, but one in which every individual vote counted.

This is normal business. Many companies will not pay before the get the first notice as it reduces the risk to pay bills for POs which were never fullfilled.
Also, many businesses give you a discount when you pay on time: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skonto (german)
This practice is more popular in Europe because trust between companies is high (also because its harder to establish a business and you need assets as reserve).
De we even have a Proof of concept for the MDS attacks (one that doesn't require other thread to be writing the same data over and over in a loop)?

So much of this seems driven by Intel hate, and while hardware manufacturers should work on mitigation, it shouldn't be done at the expense of performance, especially for machines that don't run untrusted code (even then, I'm not sure it should be done unless the cost is extremely minimal).

JavaScript/WASM is being used as a bogey man, when the overwhelming evidence is that it just isnt possible to exploit the browser with enough consistency to make it work when not assisted. The meltdown POC was more a "look at this neat thing I an do if I set everything up perfectly" - set up to such an artificial extent that it wasn't even applicable to any computer system.

The the one MDS attack I saw required the target to repeatedly write the same byte of memory in loop while being attacked. This isn't going to happen. These MDS attacks at best seem to be able to pick fairly random bytes, and they can only do it while the data they are snooping on is in the load/store buffer, so they can't even run the number of times required to exfiltrate the data consistently.

I haven't seen a single piece of code that will, for example, grap SSH keys from a running ssh program using one of these attacks. From Javascript in a browser? LOL.

While these are very cool and interesting, they arent anything to be worried about, especially if you don't run a cloud service. Oh, but right, Intel hate.
The amount of "feedback" involved in climate systems is the very thing that makes them incredibly hard to predict and make solid claims about. The claim that there is "consensus" that a runaway process will happen if warming hits 1.5C, and that no other, countering feedbacks exist that could mitigate this effect, is kinda preposterous given the inherent complexity of what we're dealing with. Even something as simple as cloud cover, and how it would respond to a "warmer" planet, is stuff that there's a lot of uncertainty about.
I bet that's what all of the Americans and Europeans we would consider "Nazi sympathizers" said about the camps in Germany, too.
When you have a culture where short-term returns trump long-term strategy - never mind political wisdom - it's absolutely predictable that you're going to be blindsided by the realisation that other countries can out-compete with you, and don't just exist to be used and discarded.

That’s a really strange thing to say in the middle of a rapidly escalating, open trade war.
A company should exist that simply takes wonderful products, removes the offending bits, and resells them, perhaps at a premium. Both headphones are really good, and I certainly would pay a $100 premium if the maker was "one of the good ones" and provided, e.g., an optional, open-source app with minimal permissions.

That's pretty much what got introduced in Canada this spring. Well, it's a rebate rather than a tax reduction.

But there's massive opposition.

There seem to be two main arguments:

1. The tax is too small to make any real difference, so we might as well scrap it. (I don't understand this one either, and it's only true for current levels, the tax is supposed to increase every year.)

2. China and the States aren't anything, so anything we do is meaningless and just disadvantages us. (The answer to this argument is Nobel prize winning Bill Nordhaus's carbon club proposal)

It looks like the carbon tax opposing conservatives are going to win the election in October. It'll be a shameful time to be a Canadian. We have the highest CO2 emissions per capita and most of the country won't be doing anything about it.

This is true, and such humility/pragmatism is pretty much the core idea of one kind of conservatism.

But I'm also not sure how much we should read these people's labelling of themselves as Marxists as indicating an opinion on the economic planning/freedom scale. Maybe the right analogy is something like Jesuits objecting to how Spain was abusing/enslaving native americans. Being Christian was an important part of how everyone involved thought about themselves, and such criticisms would inevitably have been phrased in christian terminology, that was the shared language of both power and protest. But that's not what the message was.

All the press releases and articles describing work in the Pentland Firth are breathlessly optimistic. The environment here is fantastically unkind to marine equipment and at least one previous project (can't recall or find the details) was destroyed in a very short time.

It's also a de facto ethnostate for the Han chinese. Foreigners cannot become citizens even if they marry a Chinese citizen. And the people they keep in their reeducation camps are stubborn ethnic minorities.
The "GDPR haters" realize that this is the sort of thing it is meant to prevent. They probably want to see this kind of thing prevented too.

But they also realize that intention is hard to codify in law, and when their concerns about an overly non-specific and broad legislation are dismissed with "well obviously the GDPR intends this and not that, it's such a straightforward legislation to read, anyone can understand it," it's easy to become a "hater" - because they realize that there is a lot of latitude in interpreting the law.

It would be more constructive to try to understand the position of people you disagree with, instead of labeling them as "haters" - just because someone is critical of the GDPR doesn't mean they don't value privacy.

In the age of cheap smartphones and the allways existence of desperate people who have nothing left to loose, I think its highly unlikely that videos of such camps could not get out. Not if it is on that scale.
(just refering to the argument, I did not check whether the camps exists or videos)

On the other hand, such camps would not look much different from prisons, so I doubt you can expect KZ style pictures.

Edit: just wondering, is my argument really that bad, or am I dealing with patriotic bite reflexes?
No. Its not. You need to buy hardware, set it up and later constantly maintain it. It requires technical knowledge, willingness to do it and, above all, free time. While initial investment may seem trivial, on the long run it's not. People very often tend to forget that own solutions are not set up and forget. This is why cloud services are a thing in a first place.
We are quite far from a real trade war.
