This is nice. In the UK some supermarkets have a food bank you can donate to as you leave. I usually donate food to those. This is a bit more personal. Although I’m lucky enough to live in a neighbourhood where it doesn’t seem like people are wanting for food. I suppose you never know when someone is having a rough few months though and this is a nice way to foster some relationships.
This is laughably ridiculous and not scalable at all. Stores close and prop up all the the time. Not everyone thinks of signing up for google maps. And besides where is the manpower to do verification of millions of stores every day? It’s very easy think something is easy until you actually think of the real world details.

How are the web vulnerabilities related to Java ?

There used to be a lot a vulnerabilities in the Java plugin of browsers, but it has nothing to do with Java as a language, it's a fraction of the security bugs that affected the web for the last decades (and it's also pretty dead).

The majority (by far) of thoses bugs were in fact memory issues[1], which would have been solved from the beginning if the browsers (or the plugins, like Flash) were written in Java (or Rust).

One problem I have with this is it violates the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) principle. The author embraces temporal inconsistency, but I'm not a big fan of it. Maybe inconsistency for content is okay, but for consistent DRY style I think I'd at least use CSS even if I didn't use a CMS.
Perhaps for a very narrow definition of efficiency. Writing in assembly what could be written in SQL is definitely less efficient from a productivity point of view. Even for your definition of efficiency that may not be true.
Yes, but even though I myself have created my own Linux distro, I would absolutely not be able to do that with restricted internet access, without access to the guide-books, and without the help of IRC. I suspect this would be the case for most of my developer friends as well.
One of those shown on the front page is in the Netherlands, but access to dry foods isn't usually the problem for the target users here, because they already qualify for access to our system of foodbanks. Dutch supermarkets donate a substantial amount of dry goods and fresh produce to foodbanks.

If you want to make a difference, set up a recurring donation to your local foodbank instead, or volunteer to help. People in financial need already go there, so you can help them by not making them run around town to a bunch of free little pantries, and help them avoid the shame of using that pantry in your neighbourhood being watched by all your neighbours.

This feels like one of those initiatives that benefit the provider more than the intended recipient.

I remember seeing a documentary about one of the top handmade Japanese knives. I was amazed that it's literally made in the craftsman's falling down house, on a normal street in a normal rural village. I wish I remembered the name of the brand. It's quite well known. The knives are beautiful, but the workshop is function over form to put it mildly (I seem to remember he didn't even have a floor in his workshop -- which makes a lot of sense, but still surprising).

Before a first moved to Japan a friend warned me that Japanese cities are generally ugly. You've got power and telephone wires everywhere. The buildings are old, rusting, and falling apart. There are weeds growing in cracks everywhere. But if you go inside a person's home, there is this amazing transformation. It's usually beautiful. Even in an old falling down home, the interior is often wonderful (of course everyone is different and especially elderly people often have difficulty cleaning their houses). This is often true of izakayas (bar/restaurants) as well. From the outside it looks utterly uninspiring, but it's often really amazing on the inside (although, not always ;-) ).

I never really had any expectations when I came here, so I was never disappointed. I know a lot of expats, though, who were crushed when they discovered that not everything in Japan is beautiful.

There’s a theory that homes being a good long-term investment is incompatible with homes being affordable. If true, then I would argue that it’s good, not bad.

Actually, it's better to capture the email last, once they've committed every other piece of information as a sunk cost, and ideally make entering an email optional to boot in order to reduce friction. The need to create an account is one of the main reason that shopping carts - and for that matter, SaaS signup forms - get abandoned.
Yay, more options for not paying Microsoft taxes anymore. Microsoft's policy is that the vendor must have a policy on refunding licenses, but whenever I ask for a refund with a new laptop, the procedure is forwarding me to five different people because nobody knows and the last one goes "are you kidding me" and "no". The policy could be "go away", but not having a policy is the only thing that's not allowed. Unsurprisingly, Microsoft doesn't really mind and keeps shipping OSes to vendors that don't follow their license agreement.
It violates that principle but on the other hand it embraces the RY (Repeat Yourself) principle which has its own set of pros and cons, the major pros being simplicity of implementation and reduced risk of retroactive breakage. I’ve found this principle very useful also in software design. The DRY principle gets all the attention but we tend to ignore the question of when it’s actually better to repeat oneself.

Seems like a crummy way to reach potential students, wouldn't you want to tap the local church's congregations? That is how the Catholic schools run in Seattle, though they don't have the same 20% non-Catholic full ride scholarship that they do in Portland (which made for a much better educational experience IMO).

The Summer Lunch Program (which has a much broader target audience/geographic area) in Seattle has experimented with online advertising, but had poor results. The keys to the kingdom really are reaching kids (and their parents) where they are, in schools, after school programs, and perhaps some online platforms (though the targeting is generally ineffective on Facebook/Google for this type of advertising).
At least they're mostly harmless. To the mark who buys them.

There’s an important point missing not only in this article but on most conversations on this topic (we had similar proposals in Barcelona), and it’s how long is the mean vacant time.

Given the size of LA, it’s not unlikely that 100k homes is the result of the normal dynamic equilibrium of the city, in other words, these 100k homes are not the same as two months ago, even if the number is quite stable.

My feeling is that these taxes will achieve nothing, and might even raise the cost of rentals, pricing out even more people.
Yea, that seems like a use-case I’ve felt like I wanted before. TypeScript supports this, as the JS output can be produced even if type checking fails, though in practice I have it turned off so that I don’t accidentally end up with type errors I’ve not fixed.

Why wouldn't NK be able to make a Linux distro? Some distros are managed by only a few people. NK has 25 million people.

Also, they don't restrict information for everyone. Kim Jong Un went to school in Switzerland... They know about the outside world. Just not the plebs.
I don’t think this would be the case here.

You would need to show that a person entering their email into an input expected that email to be stored by the other party without submitting the form.
I was wondering what "crapware in BIOS" is, it turns out to be software in the UEFI/BIOS system that installs software in your Windows install. I doubt I'll be affected as a Linux user. And it's a little short sighted to go "they did something wrong in 2015 on Windows, let's just exclude one of the vendors shipping Linux because there are so many others already".
This reads like the prelude to 90% of all zombie movies - cheating death by injecting virusses, starting in the UK. It even includes a fever and neurotoxicity as side effects.

This would predict the same attention to quality and continuous improvement in all rice paddy reliant cultures. China disproves this hypothesis. Even very, very expensive apartments in Shanghai often have terrible quality finish. It looks great when new but even a couple of years later things start to fall apart in most places. And it isn’t confined to accommodation. It’s amazingly difficult to get people to actually follow a maintenance schedule for equipment, even extremely expensive manufacturing equipment. When most of the workforce is at best two generations removed from peasants and most aren’t even one an attitude of “Fuck it, it’ll do.” is pervasive.
The article missed the most obvious way in which AI could fight climate change: by replacing the current election and political system with AI. This would fix the fundamental problem that humans are collectively unable to avoid killing the planet they live on. Solution: put decision making into the hands of software designed to achieve the goal of not killing the planet. I'm pretty sure as this (election replacing AI) is a much easier technical problem than self driving cars.

The best office space I worked at was divided in 6-8 persons rooms. Each team had their own conference room isolated from the rest. It was kind of a mix between cubicles and open space. It isolated us from other parts of the business (sales, management, etc) but allowed fast & easy collaboration between team members.
The article is mentioning remote work as the solution. But I was expecting to see an office design solution after reading the title.

Prop 13 incentivizes not moving, and it only gets better the longer you dont move
>If you're caught later with it missing you will most likely disappear.

That could well be true in North Korea, but Chinese really isn’t like that. They have a very active tech industry so installing and experimenting with Linux distros and such that might not have monitoring software is fine. As long as you don’t do something openly suspect, like post something considered anti government, they just leave people alone.

I have relatives in China who have desktops and laptops and never come across Kylin. As far as I know it’s mainly used by the military and government departments.

I'm unsure about the point that's being made here. Yes, EU regulation can affect American consumers, but it's been the other way around for decades. Lack of regulation, or regulation that Europeans disagree with, has affected us on a US-centric internet. letting hate run rampart but censoring a mother breastfeeding her baby has never made a lot of sense to me, but I had to live with it.

The solution is straight-forward. Most of the tech giants are American, so if Americans disapprove of EU regulation creeping in, they can tell their companies, through legislation or however else to respect American law, and when those companies operate in Europe or somewhere else they provide services in accordance with local law. It's more overhead for tech companies, but that's how every other industry works. Then everyone's sovereignty is respected and we don't need to stumble over each others toes.

> What else does it do besides render JSX components and manage their state just like a web component except with more indirection?

1. There many more ways to implement SPA than JSX.

2. WebComponents have exactly zero state management capabilities, and you need to implement your own ways to deal with state

So, SPA frameworks provide the following:

- state management

- optimised/batched updates (they can flush to the DOM efficiently thus avoiding jank, unnecessary re-paints and reflows)

- async rendering

- easy fallback states for async data fetching

- data fetching

- data propagation (for example, from parent to a deeply nested child)

- data binding

- render targets other than HTML (example, canvas, webgl, native mobile apps)

I'm definitely missing more. None of the above are provided by web components, and you will need to bring your own frameworks/libs to cover all those points.

That's a rosy colored view of how we mixed. Maybe there was that, but one thing I would bet on is rape. Probably a mixture.

California does. It’s taxed as income.

A crazy idea that is simply too radical here in CA because it means the government relinquishing some form or power and control.
Taxing empty property feels like a treatment for symptom rather than the cause. Maybe it would be better if the tax on the land value would be high enough so that it does not make economical sense to keep properties vacant?

There are still a few uncontacted tribes left. I remember reading about the Sentinelese[1] last year when some guy snuck onto their island to try to convert them to christianity and died.

I forgot where I read this but apparently they don't have a concept of gift-giving as a sign of goodwill. I had a really hard time wrapping my head around that!

Like how else could gifts be interpreted? Maybe as a sign of submission, like cats who think it must be a god to people who feed it? But can it even be possible for biological humans to not have a concept of reciprocal altruism? Or did their culture evolve to a different point where they can get (homicidally) mad at people for being too nice?

The fact that this simple gesture wasn't as universal as I thought really got me thinking about how much of our actions only make sense within a narrow shared context.

They don't show any large patch filling a rut.

Also, molten iron would have presumably been expensive back then - too expensive to simply pave a large part of the street with.

I don't really see evidence this was street repair as much as "occasionally on the roughest roads some drips of molten iron fell off the back of carts while being transported"
Which says the problem clearly was the purchasing / money laundering, not a lack of government regulation regarding rentals.
It kind of reminds me of Meteor's Tracker reactivity system more than react hooks. Since you used to work for Meteor for a short while, how would the 2 compare?
Right, that would be different, but I feel that's the kind of detail that gets lost in translation when it becomes government policy. Given the average EU government greatly enjoys the already 100%+ tax on fuel they have, why would they bother with this complicated, not even revenue raising scheme ? They can just crank that 100% lever to 200% or whatever.

Can any of the economists proposing this scheme ask for a guarantee of any kind that if they help push this scheme, details like this one won't get left out ? Of course not. They'll cheerlead it and then blame the government, forgetting their complicity.
On the contrary. If Brazil doesn't think this is the way things should be done, Brazil should fine, arrest, or whatever is relevant to Brazilian custom and law. If the US government wants to report to Brazilian government some findings of wrongdoing, then so be it. But it doesn't make sense for the US to fine a US corporation for the wrongdoings of a Brazilian committing a crime in Brazil.

And let's not pretend that there's no difference between the letter of the law and the cultural norm. Selective enforcement of laws that are out of sync with cultural norms couldn't be more common. There are places in the world where low level corruption is so common that tourists are recommended to carry some cash to pay off police or other grifters so that the tourist can avoid pretty awful consequences when they're totally innocent. Should the US fine those tourists? It doesn't make sense to me.

Reverse mortgage?
shakna already gave some good points, but a major one is the shared part.

Even if it's an admin that moves around a backup file from server a to server b, you don't allow anyone to bring in and connect USB drives. You don't allow personal laptops to access files (on that level - accessing a frontend is fine, see access limits) that leave the premises. That's not impractical, it's not extreme, it's just what you do when you handle very important data of millions of users.

Making sure nobody can access data wholesale is step one. You will fail at some point for some reason. Making sure no one can exfil large amounts of data is step two. If he wants to go James Bond on you and use a small camera to photograph his screen, good. Data leaks suck, but this way, it will affect a hundred people, not 2.9m.
