Not to me. Soviet Union's fall was a very unique set of events, some unique to the time and sweep of history, some just plain unique. It was a combination of the right leaders, Chernobyl, fallout from WW2 divisions such as the Baltic States Molotov Pact protests, and Solidarity and Lech Walesa in Poland, then the right chain of events over a decade.

Many of those Soviet Republics were very reluctant participants, forcibly occupied with underlying resentment going back centuries in a couple of cases, to WW2 in others.

There seem very few parallels with Saudi or China.

I'm using LineageOS without Play Store/Services and would like to dispel this myth. Here are just some of the third party applications I can install directly from the developer using adb, without going through a third party store: Signal, Firefox, NetGuard, NewPipe, Orgzly, OsmAnd, Tor Browser. Those pretty much cover all of my smartphone needs and more.

Also a good example where 3.8 would be handy:

while (frame_stab := stream_stab.read()) and (stream_org := stream_org.read()):

iter() works with all stable versions of Python though, but it's a bit exotic. When I use it, I tend to make aliases to make it clearer because most Python devs don't know about it, let alone this alternative form.

stab_frames = iter(stream_stab.read, None)
org_frames = iter(stream_org.read, None)
for frame_stab, frame_org in zip(stab_frames, org_frames):

Totally agree, yet they weren’t the only one. Think it happened as early as Win 7.
I'm considering setting up proximity/motion lights for a relative that has mobility issues. Centralizing the control has some nice advantages over just using motion switches, and they would likely be in addition to the existing lighting, not replacing it.

The idea there would be that they have the light when they need it, without having to switch them on and off.

An internet connection isn’t required for the Nest thermostat to operate the furnace either.

I can appreciate not wanting to allow Google the opportunity to brick your thermostat (and hence your furnance) through some kind of software issue but if you’re willing to extend that faith to their smoke detectors, why not your furnace?

"# check if frame is None" is indeed a good example of comments you should not write. It's weird that someone has the skill to create what seems such a complete lib and yet produces what most would qualify as a beginner structure.

I would take a pessimistic view on #8:

> Mass surveillance by governments and corporations will become normal and expected this decade and people will increasingly turn to new products and services to protect themselves from surveillance. The biggest consumer technology successes of this decade will be in the area of privacy.

I'd take this a step further and fear that not only will it become the norm, even making use of privacy tech and devices will be viewed with suspicion or may even serve as barriers towards getting access to various societal instruments.

The trick with a well-implemented smart home system is to consider failure modes in the design phase. I made my own "smart-kettle"[1] which does work with Alexa but when the Internet is down it reverts to a regular kettle with regular buttons.

Similarly, smart lights are often problematic for a range of reasons. Most need to use an app to control them, or some incantation for Alexa to do the same, neither of which are discoverable (or maybe even accessible) to someone in your house who isn't you. If you have them connected to a regular light switch, they stop being "smart" when someone uses the light switch on the wall to turn them off. All of these problems are easily addressed by using smart switches instead of smart lights. Everybody knows how to use a light switch, and any failure of your "smart" systems means the light switch still works like every other light switch out there (meaning, get off your butt, walk over to the switch and it turns lights on and off).

This concept holds true in my house for garage door openers, door locks, fireplace controls, and a whole raft of other stuff. The existing systems function like they should to a user who knows how a garage door opener (or whatever) is traditionally supposed to work. In addition, they get some extra functionality[2] if everything is up and working as designed. If things aren't working... well you have to press the garage door opener button like it's 2010.

Even if over fishing is under control there is still an issue with climate change and everything that comes with it, including ocean acidification, ocean current disruptions, migrations of pervasive alien species, collapse of important local populations (due to the above).

So even if over fishing is not a threat any more, our ocean food source is still at huge risk.

>The Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) has provided UBI averaging $6600 US (2015) dollars for a family of four since 1982.

>The PFD reduced the number of rural Alaska Indigenous people in poverty during 2011–2015 by 22%, down from 46% in 2000.

>The PFD reduced poverty among rural Alaska Indigenous seniors by more than 40%, to rates that are now relatively low.

>Child poverty rates have been increasing; however, the PFD reduced 2011–2015 rural Alaska Native child poverty rates by 25%.

>Errors in official statistics will cause them to understate the actual rise in poverty rates as future PFD amounts decline.

Note that the PFD amounts are about a quarter of what Yang suggests (assuming two parents; number of children is irrelevant to his plan).

The last line of the abstract is "Evidence has not appeared for commonly hypothesized potential adverse social and economic consequences of UBI."

I personally would be curious to know more about what kind of UBI-ish payments have been made, in what amounts, how it varies from group to group, and what are the differences in outcome. I imagine that a lot has to do with the actual amounts received and if there are conditions for receiving it (such as staying on the reservation) and what kind of restrictions might be in place for building up infrastructure or doing other economic activities in addition to surrounding oppressive attitudes. There would be a lot of interesting stuff that could be looked into.

In the case of the Alzheimer 'cabal', there was a large minority of researchers that were being locked out of funding by the cabal. Can you point to a single credible climate science researcher that has contrarian views on the consensus and also lacks access to funding for research? As mentioned in another post, the oil industry is very wealthy and is spending large sums of money in this domain. So while there are plenty of contrarians, I highly doubt the credible ones are having any issues with funding.

Whether you realize it or not, you are making some fairly extraordinary claims. While the academic world is subject to politicking and influence like any other domain, it tends to get things right in the long run. If your issue is with media over sensationalizing climate change headlines, well that is a separate issue, and quite frankly seems like nitpicking considering how little progress we have made in solving the problem and how dire the consequences can potentially be.

> We should shift more of the tax burden onto capital, including by raising the capital gains tax, probably to the same level as taxes on labor.

Where I live (Finland) capital gains tax is 30% if the gains are less than 30,000 EUR/year and 34% from above. I think it's completely fair. I get most of my income from capital gains, btw.
Seriously. The last recession was deferred by a massive injection of capital that cut lending costs to almost nothing. The current economy is buoyed by elevated asset prices.

If anything, the economy is far more fragile now than it was even 15 years ago, before the 'great recession'.

What hubris.
The Simple Truth about Physics
Actions are _still_ always an "immutable serializable event". The async logic is going to live _somewhere_, either in your components, or outside of them. Thunks are a way to move that logic outside of your components. The end result of the async logic is still dispatching plain object actions.

This title (article, not HN) seems like complete click bait. Nothing in the body of the article suggests the guys at GS said anything of the kind. I don't have access to the actual report out of GS to verify, but I'm guessing this "recession-proof" nonsense is all coming from the financially illiterate journalist alone.

Direct quote from the article:

“Overall, the changes underlying the Great Moderation appear intact, and we see the economy as structurally less recession-prone today,” Goldman economists Jan Hatzius and David Mericle wrote. “While new risks could emerge, none of the main sources of recent recessions — oil shocks, inflationary overheating, and financial imbalances — seem too concerning for now. As a result, the prospects for a soft landing look better than widely thought.”

They are just refuting the recession hysteria that has been popping up a lot recently, not in anyway stating they believe a recession cant happen.
The Ecosystem Is Moving
A high percentage of the world's population lives on or near the coast. Why the climate is changing doesn't change the effect on these people and the places they live. Dismissing this fact as alarmist isn't going to help anyone.

p.s. Humanity will continue to flourish? Your prediction is based on what, past performance? When Mother Nature's bounty was harvested mindlesssly and shameleessly? That's going to continue forever? Infinitely? Can you share some links supporting such projections?
I guess my feeling with the smoke/CO detectors is that I also have other "dumb" models throughout the house. Furthermore, a thermostat needs to work basically all the time at certain times of the year, whereas the detector only needs to work when there's something to detect. I guess Google could silently brick them and I'd never know about it but that seems to be getting into paranoia territory. (And it's not like other detectors can't silently fail too.)

It's probably paranoia about the thermostat too TBH. But other than looking cooler than my old programmable Honeywell, a Nest thermostat also wouldn't really do anything for me anyway.
I very strongly disagree with #3. Machine learning has not yet proved its value outside of a handful of key areas (image recognition, voice recognition/synthesizing, etc). I think it's entirely possible we'll look back on today as a kind of machine learning mania. I certainly believe there is plenty of room to build sustainable businesses without a machine learning asset (and the associated data collection), and it's in no way "table stakes for every tech company, large and small".
There's some boilerplate (a bit less compared to Go) required to deal with errors in Rust too, but additionally, the compiler can enforce you can't get at the return value without dealing with the error variant. I just checked that there are also static checkers for Go that'll tell you if you forgot to check an error.
Rent prices have everything to do with supply and demand. One of the reasons they're so high in San Francisco is that it's surrounded on three sides by water, which restricts outward supply expansion. And then zoning restricts upward supply expansion. You have much the same issue in Manhattan, which is an island.

How else do you explain housing costs being lower in Austin (available land, less restrictive zoning) than New York City despite Austin having a higher median income?
This right here is the real answer.
Super awesome! Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful.
