> - You were signed into that contract by your parents when you were born, as they had the legal authority over your rights to decide on your behalf.

> - As soon as you legally become an adult, you can step out of that social contract by leaving the country at any time. By remaining in your country, you consent to its social contract, so you pay taxes to the government by your own will.

This is where you're wrong. By saying "you can step out of that social contract by leaving the country at any time." you could justify any political system, including monarchy, dictatorships, etc. as long as people can leave the country.

You might as well say: "If you don't like the country you were born in, just kill yourself." because you're rejecting the discussion about justice entirely.

> - There's a free market of countries with open borders; people can vote with their feet in this market and migrate to their preferred one. You have no obligation to pay taxes at any one of them, but they have no obligation to accept you nor provide you with services if you're not willing to play by their rules.

That would work if switching countries had a negligible cost. Switching to another country is not as easy as choosing a pair of shoes.
I'm sure that's true, but am noting that in Illinois the competitive disadvantage nuclear has against gas has the state actively subsidizing some unprofitable nuclear plants just as (I assume?) a jobs thing. Exelon doesn't seem to be pushing that hard to keep plants it already owns online.
Sounds like an ideological difference to me.

What would you have titled it?

I'm not sure that "Instead of putting your phone in rice, open it up, douse it in 90%+ isopropyl and brush it with a toothbrush to remove the water before it dries" is short enough to be an effective title.

And "To fix a drowned phone, drown it again in isopropyl" is arguably even more click-baity.

In further defense, the comments here show the necessity of a title like this. If the title were "how to fix a drowned phone," many people would say "oh, I know this one, just put it in rice" and ignore the article.
Wow. That's a hell of a loop.

That said, this does seem like another reiteration of the "senior engineer couldn't write fizz buzz" story, though this particular example is amusing.

I can write fizz buzz. Hell, I've interviewed enough that I can print all permutations of a string (or all permutations of a set and/or subsets of that set). I used to be able to implement merge sort in 45 minutes at the whiteboard, but I can't now, and I never want to be able to do this at 45 minutes at the whiteboard again. I could certainly detect a cycle in a linked list, and I could do DFS and BFS on a binary tree. I might be able to reason through how to find the last common ancestor of two nodes, or find all matching subtrees in a binary tree if I could hack around for a while, but at the whiteboard, in 45 min? Nah. So, no-hire.

It's time to stop pretending these tests are about weeding out people who lack very basic coding skills. Tech interviews are one of the reasons I'm not enthusiastic about recommending a career as a software developer.
Everything in this study is dependant on how they measure the very vague term 'populist'.

I understand what they mean when they say 'HuffPo' and 'Breitbart'.

But ... 'Vanity Fair' etc. present a problem: these are 'high brow' and 'intellectual' publications, but they are no less susceptible to memes and narratives.

Moreover, WaPo, NYT etc. are 'high quality' but still 'narrative oriented'.

I find if you want to know about something, listen to the channels that don't have a stake in the game: getting regular news from the Financial Times can be weirdly refreshing because it's just so sober.

Thanks for the clarification on the first point. Won’t youtube effectively shove the next recommended video to a user as long as auto-play is activated ?

Also they are the default view, I’d argue suggestions are a lot more than just “suggestions”. It would be akin to a restaurant “suggesting” their menu, and you’d need to interrogate the waiter to explore what else you could be served. For most people the menu is effectively the representation of the food of the restaurant.

For the neutrality, if you recognize there are agreed upon rules, as you point out, the next question becomes who agreed on these rules, and who made them ?

Who agreed nudity should be banned ? Which country ? What nudity ? and art ? and educational content ? and documentaries ? at which point does it become nudity ? The more we dig into it, the more it becomes fuzzy, everyone’s boundary is different, and all the rules are like that.

Any rule in place is positive to a group and negative to another, for a rule to stay in place it needs to have more supporters than detractors, or put it another way have more positive impact than negative ones.

The current set of rules are the ones that were deemed worthwile, I think it’s healthy to chalenge them or to push for other rules that could garner enough agreement to stay in place.
I don’t think this is a great approach. You’re selecting for good talkers. There are many great engineers and coworkers who don’t do well on these types of verbal psychological games.

This makes me wonder if the current political “backlash” against global warming is because many politicians are ... old.

If they were taught in school that the earth is cooling, and we know from research that people are very unlikely to change their mind about things after 35 ... well why would they believe it’s now warming?
You could argue that the pursuit of leisure created pretty much every business that ever existed. We create businesses to either deliver leisure, or automate things that aren't leisure.

See "He Is There And He Is Not Silent" by Francis Schaeffer.

However, be aware that this book is more a sketch or outline of an argument, not detailed at every step. You're going to have to do a lot of thinking about various points to decide whether you agree with his argument.

You're also going to have to pay careful attention to his definitions of words, specifically his distinction between rationality and rationalism.

I think there is considerable value in the "dumb" repetitive mode of practicing a musical instrument. In my experience, it's pretty much the only way to commit guitar scales and shapes to muscle memory. This is particularly vital to playing fast or improvising. My guitar instructor (who was a phenomenal player) talked about playing blues licks over and over again "to get them into your fingers."
In 1964, the White House and Defense Department lied and misrepresented a supposed act of naval aggression in order to fraudulently justify launching a war they sought for other reasons.

I still will never understand the level of fame given to Virginia Woolf. We had to read A Room of One's Own in college and I got an A on a paper detailing why it was one of the most poorly written things I'd ever been forced to read.

EDIT: It’s been 20 years. The only reason I remember it at all is because I was certain I was going to get a failing grade on the assignment because of the approach that I took.
My experience is that the choice isn't "playing for fun" vs "deliberate practice" it's "playing for fun" vs "not playing". If practice is fun, I'll do a lot of it and get better. It's not especially efficient practice per hour, but since I do a lot of it it helps a lot. If practice is not fun I just don't play, and I don't get better.

The advice in the article is probably right for people who want to be the very best, but probably wrong for most people who might read it.
You don't even have to be an expert to tell it isn't. Compared to Leonardo's paintings, Salvator Mundi is just boring.

Unless Leonardo just phoned it in. But I don't think there is a way to tell if a work was painted by a student or by Leonardo pretending to be a student anyway.
To be pedantic, it's "wouldn't npm be the wrong tool" (it isn't, necessarily, I believe lockfiles provide you with reproducible builds)

Vendoring/copying them is another way to achieve this (and means you don't need to depend on npm or its lockfiles).

Regardless, those libraries are your problem whether you vendor/copy them or not.

Somewhat related is this latest supposed attack by Iranians on the two Japanese tankers... now one of the Japanese tanker owners is saying it was a projectile while US Centcom says it's limpet mines.

I don't know the Observable folks personally, but I've been watching what they post on Twitter. It's not snobbery to say that the level of polish and sophistication present in what they put out (in terms of the reactive architecture and the graphic side of it) is second to none. Their product has got so much class that the idea that they would spend time on SEO is kind of incongruous, right?
> The CCP's justification for censoring would probably be that they need to preserve their legitimacy while the country is still in its formative phase.

You would expect the censoring to be less instead of more as the country develops. This has been the hope of the rest of the world as well -- that economic growth, higher education level and stability would usher in the transition away from autocracy. However, this doesn't seem to be happening and the tech-enabled information control only serves to worsen -- Chinese citizens' knowledge of personal freedom, checks and balances have been stagnating.

> We’ll have to see what happens, but my personal belief is that China will move more and more towards glasnost-like policies as time goes on but at its own pace, not at the pace dictated by western powers.

This had been the hope of the world, Chinese abroad and much of Hong Kong. But the recent actions of CCP, including the Hong Kong extradition law proposal seem to suggest this doesn't seem likely or the time scale might be slow enough that the rise of China may become a threat to the rest of the World first (lack of the rule of law , and the associated forced intellectual theft and transfer, leveraging economic might to bully its neighbors).

I see the trade-war as the external stimulus that is needed to accelerate China's transition. When the economic growth slows, the party would have to address the social issues. However, years of state-education and nationalistic propaganda is difficult to overcome.

> Surely you mean “fuck the hardline members of the CCP, but hopefully the reformers win out”?

You are right. That is the ideal outcome. Hopefully Xi is more Chiang Kai-Shek than Mao.

As a musician myself I must say that flow isn’t important for practise, much more important are breaks

Going at something for 3 times half an hour with hours in between is more effective than going for hours straight. And this kind of focused time method also works well for programming. With programming it is harder to decide where to put the break.

Breaks don’t mean you have to do nothing, you just have to do something that is mentally different. When I take a programming break, making music, soldering or reading is quite a good programming break.

There are many, many companies selling Free Software. I personally worked five years for one, getting paid for writing A/LGPL licensed code. It's just that they're small companies working as a network, not behemoths, since the economics of sharing code favour that. And to me, that's just an extra plus, not an issue. But I'm sure Peter Levine partner at a16z doesn't like it - VCs are generally unable to extract profit from these companies.
In the system I've proposed, if there are enough test-Flanders thrown at the content the times closed should be different enough to trigger an unclear Flanders rating. This would indicate some other metric should be used.

I don't see this test working in isolation. Given it's nature, it's value is in obscure rejection statements rather than acceptance (or "okilly-dokillies" in this case).

To echo what others on this thread have said, there's a lot of content on Youtube. This means that even if they are cautious about which content passes through the filter for kids, there's still a lot available.

Thanks for the genuine comment.

I don't think I've pushed the notion that re-education camps are a social good nor innocuous. They are objectively pretty bad. Forcing anyone to do anything against their will is pretty horrible.

All I'm saying is that amongst the terrible things that an authoritarian government is capable of, forcing people to learn vocational skills and sit and listen to corny CCP propaganda for hours every day is not the worse thing that could have happened. The CCP could have easily used the violence in the region to justify much worse things.

That being said, I won’t justify the severe abuses (i.e - torture) that may be taking place there, abuses which naturally arise when one group of humans wield asymmetric power over another. If indeed there are such cases, I truly believe they are by far the minority. Any such widespread severe abuse would trigger the CCP’s red flag of destabilization. It would jeopardize China’s relationship with the world (condemnation, sanctions - which seems to be happening anyway), with its allies like Pakistan and others in the Islamic world, and with its own populace.

As far as I know, the Uyghurs are still allowed to engage in traditional customs like any other Muslim ethnic minorities, just not the extreme Wahhabi/Salafi customs that were were never native to them in the first place.

> Also, the uncritical assumption that China should be administering Kashgar! Just like the question of the USA administering little South American/Middle Eastern countries and Russia administering Ukraine.

Sorry I did not address the administering of Kashgar. It’s a legitimate question and one point of contention amongst many. There is a long and complicated history there with evidence of a vassal relationship going back to the Tang dynasty. I don’t have enough information to form an opinion on China’s claim to the city. If you can point me to some historical references, that would be great.
I learned this year that the commander of the U.S. naval forces in the Gulf of Tonkin during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident is The Doors' Jim Morrisson' father. Small world.
This is really only an issue for project where you're trying re-implement a whole piece of software, and not when you pick up some "good ideas" looking at a piece of code. If you're creating a functional clone of some software and suspect that the owners of that software might take legal action against you, then you'll need to make extra sure that no part of your reimplementation resembles the original source code. Hence the whole "clean room" approach.

But if you're just looking at some code and get some ideas and use them in a totally different kind of program, you're definitely not violating the spirit of copyright, and as far as I know no court has ever decided that you're violating the letter of copyright in such a case either.

This is a fun paper. It uses the dynamics of orbiting galaxies to show that Antlia 2 (a dwarf galaxy orbiting our own) must have crossed through the galactic plane. It uses the ripples in the hydrogen cloud around the galaxy as the marker for the previous transit.

The authors suggest this happened within the last 100 Myears or so (you just have to run the various proposed orbits backward in time.) These sorts of things would presumably result in increased levels of debris flying through solar systems such as our own and possibly lead to increased impact activity.

You're strawmanning the position. It's not that those skeptical politicians believe what they were taught in school-- it's that they see that the science can change, and that calls of doomsday can turn out to be wrong.

Even Al Gore's doomsday predictions in the late 90s turned out to be woefully inaccurate. I'm all for being a good steward of the planet, but I think it's reasonable to wait in order to:

- Make sure this is a serious risk, and not just something we can adapt to

- Let technology develop so we can combat climate change effectively and without bankrupting the world.

Furthermore, I see environmentalists who are anti-nuclear, anti-iron-fertilization, and anti-atmospheric-sulfur-injection. If global warming is truly an _existential_ threat, then why aren't these projects appreciated by the run-of-the-mill environmentalists?
Maybe I’m one of these people. What exactly are the consequences? So far, the most damaging consequence of overreaching customer privacy is the famous teenage pregnancy leak when Target sent out coupon mailers to expecting moms based on shopping history.

That’s a really weirdly specific issue, and hard to imaging a similar scenario that would affect my life in some equally horrible way.

Am I missing something? Why should I be so afraid of Home Depot or whatever knowing a little bit about me?
Disclaimer: I work for YouTube, my personal view on the situation is this:

Bear in mind that YouTube does not operate only in the US with unhinged free speech laws. Many countries have stricter laws and YouTube definitely needs to comply with them.

Other than that, adpocalypse happened because of bad videos being surfaced by the algorithm so another responsibility is to the creators. (And shareholders)

"here's an overview of the recycling conspiracy's talking points"

Wait, are you saying this paper you linked and the part you quoted is made by proponents of the idea that recycling is a conspiracy? It looks rather pro-recycling to me... The first sentence you quoted states outright: "recycling of paper/cardboard, plastics and biopolymers for most indicators assessed provides more environmental benefits than other waste management options". I didn't read the whole thing though.
