From the article:

The chflags() system call can no longer set the SF_FIRMLINK flag on a folder on an APFS volume. Rather than fail with an error code that we would have detected, it fails silently – it exits with a success exit status, but silently fails to set the special flag ... Apple preaches that you should always check your error codes, and we do – religiously. This bug slipped past us for who knows how long because the system call exits with a success error code ... It's hard to find kind words to express my feelings towards Apple right now. Suffice it to say, though, I'm extremely disappointed that Apple would introduce this kind of bug in a dot-release OS update. We've seen 5 major updates to Catalina now, we should expect to see higher quality than this from an operating system.
> 17% less GDP per capita

US GDP per capita was 9% higher than Denmark for 2019.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nomi...

> 3x as much debt/GDP

Denmark has a dramatically greater household debt to income ratio than the US, and is one of the most indebted countries in the world. They're in horrible debt shape. Their household debt as a percentage of disposable income is 282%, the worst in the world; that contrasts with 105% for the US, which is only slightly worse than Germany at 95%. Denmark's quality of life is coming at the expense of the future, as they load up massively on debt today to fake their standard of living.

Take a look:

Given that WW1 coined the term "Shell Shock", I think you're making heroic caricatures out of real people.

If anything the "softening" is that we can now speak of these things, rather than force them down under stoic veneers and alcoholism.

Someone suggested below that it was working in their countries, but the comment got flag-killed not long after it was posted. If that person is still following the thread hopefully they'd be willing to share their experiences on it and what the success metrics look like.

That said...

Reading other more recent comments though I think we're drifting a bit here and introducing some creep into my initial suggestion: critical thinking and media literacy certainly have some overlap in the types of class and even perhaps overlap in topic, but I'm unsure if I'd necessarily agree that 'media literacy' as a school topic needs to go all the way down the rabbit hole of of unpacking "critical theory" and "how to think critically" just to hold courses on what I initially and deliberately called 'media literacy and criticism'.

Your points are nonetheless well met, however-it definitely is a difficult nut to crack, and I can't help but wonder if it's a type of thing where if the immediate benefits maybe don't come from solving the problem but manifest as external results from simply looking at existing similar curricula and going from there-to maybe lower the initial hurdles of implementation that you and others spoke of? What do you think?
How do you do that though? If someone doesn't know what QAnon is why would they watch a video debunking it? If you have mass media doing take downs of it that will just inspire a certain segment of the population to believe it because "Look how THEY don't want you to know this!"
The sad thing is that tech, especially Youtube and Facebook, have through their algorithms promoted these conspiracy theories since QAnon conspiracy theorist watch a lot of videos and comment a lot which are the metrics they promote.
Do you think digital media needs a state run mediator?
I think it's probably time.

We've become quite protective of the data that's collected by digital products for fear of a concentration of power.

But then we all see the internet as a great 'leveller', and we don't want to disturb that balance.

The likes of the FDA (or your local equivalent) work at a certain scale... Perhaps civilly agreed constraints can be applied to companies who have managed to cultivate a userbase of a certain size.

Like a 'tax' of a kind on the amount of 'trash' you're allowed to ignore, before the police physically ensure you and your users can't abuse state infrastructure for whatever your nefarious purpose is.
Yes. But ignoring the courts would be a different thing: incompetence. See the 25th Amendment § 4[0]:

> Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

> ...

Basically, if Congress decides Trump is incompetent, Pence will immediately become President. No impeachment trial will be necessary. And if Trump refuses to leave the White House at that point, he will be forcefully removed. Whether that’ll actually happen remains to be seen; Section 4 has never been invoked since its ratification.

One of the coolest features of the web is the hyperlink. You can provide one of these "hyperlinks" to another site as a way to back up assertions you're making or to provide context.

A great place for one of these "hyperlinks" would be to show everyone this photoshopped picture you're talking about. Not everyone follows whatever sites you'd consider to be "news".

And no, I'm not going to do the legwork and search for random articles trying to figure out what the fuck you're talking about.

You also might want to consider that a person with legal power, say a government official, might be held to a higher standard of informational accuracy than some rando posting a photoshopped picture.
I think that comment was aimed at the architecture. Soon all non-reusable systems will be out of date.
Interestingly, the article does not take into account prices. I thought about using online food services, but found that prices are about 20-50 % higher than in a supermarket, so it is supermarket for me.

Stock market prices do not reflect economic realities since the invention of central banking that arbitrarily injects its fiat currency for political reasons. Instead of expecting the market to go down, expect inflation to rise rapidly.
> Hong Kong's role in that respect has been critical to China's economic rise.

In the past, yes. Nowadays Hong Kong's financial importance is rapidly diminishing. In 1997 Hong Kong compromised 19% of China's GDP, today it's ~2%.

FDI is still predominantly channeled through Hong Kong, but with 35 billion last year the general role of FDI is actually pretty negligible compared to the size of the domestic economy, and it looks like Shenzhen and Shanghai are well on their way to replace the city.

"The chief executive of the London Stock Exchange dismissed Hong Kong’s significance as a financial centre when the LSE rejected a takeover offer from the Hong Kong Exchange. “We view Shanghai as the financial centre of China,” David Schwimmer, the LSE’s chief executive, told the South China Morning Post."

I confess I do find C++, warts and all, more expressive than Rust.

There are little conveniences in Rust like switch / if being expressions and the ? operator, but the gimped Templates and refusal to do Implicit Conversion wind up littering boilerplate everywhere. I do somewhat prefer the way its standard library handles iterators, though.
What world do you even live in?

The US has had constant military engagements for the last 20-30 years, the largest terrorist attack on US soil, the complete economic erosion of the middle class followed by the largest recession since the great depression and now the largest depression since the great depression with the largest pandemic since 1918 where we're also on track for millions dying. This is one of the roughest times in history to be growing up in compared to those times.

Then there is their idea of "effective coping". It was to drink more and smack their wives. Your romanticization of those people is utterly off the mark.

Very! I couldn't sleep last night; I haven't had this feeling since i was at the Mars Desert Research Station, and Falcon Heavy launch before that!

Its kind of bitter sweet as I'd prefer to be at Hawthorne HQ or the Texas launch facility for this, though. The Cape would be even better, but still, I wanted to see this with the crew(s) so much.
I just installed it, and it looks pretty slick, congratulations on the launch!

So when Twitter starts to ban people for no reason, let's object then. The idea that we all have to start when they are banning Nazi's because of some slippery slope is ludicrous.
It is not, though this gets at the subtext of this whole thing: companies with greater power than many national governments.

Tech CEOs can now influence the public as much or more so than any politicians. So this is fundamentally about power to influence.

Trump is mad because he thinks he is and should be the most powerful person on the planet. This action stands in contrast to that.

This attitude is another component in why the economy is so fragile. "It makes no sense for corporations to save money" ... as long as you think that "paying the least amount of taxes possible" is a sensible goal for a corporation.

Compared with, say, contributing to the construction of a resilient, humane society in a variety of ways (including paying taxes) and being ready to deal with semi-random catastrophes quite well.

Oh, also: the amount we pay in taxes, as a percentage of personal and corporate income, as well as GDP, is at a (near) historical and cross-country-comparative low.

I find Dawkins's approach to all this incredibly implausible. Think about it. How does a population of creatures split into multiple different reproductively incompatible species via chance mutations? A much more believable mechanism for speciation would be something repeatable like genes being spliced in by a virus, or a new symbiosis like what Lynn Margulis describes in her book Symbiotic Planet. Edit: Nice demo though. And maybe it could be fun to do one based on viruses or symbioses.
* Voting is the cornerstone of democracy. It is the one place where it's not worth cutting costs for convenience.

* Trust but verify. I'm not aware of a cost-effective way to monitor mail-in voting. Suppose I want to observe the process. Do I need to sleep in the voting collection room for 18 days in a row to monitor that no one is messing with the ballots? What about the post office? What about the post truck?

The argument 'is the proven voter fraud higher when using voting process X vs process Y' cuts both ways. I haven't seen evidence to conclusively prove that proprietary voter machines with no paper trail tamper vote counts. And yet most people agree that paper trail voting is a much more trustworthy approach.

Honestly, the detailed page https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2020 reads like a Stack Overflow Advertisement / Pushing than a normal survey highlights

> When asked what steps to take when stuck on a coding problem, 90% of respondents indicated they visit Stack Overflow.

> 0.3% of respondents had never visited Stack Overflow before taking the survey.

> More than 40% of respondents reported that they are members of other online developer communities beyond Stack Overflow.

> More than 15% of people find Stack Overflow at least somewhat more welcome than last year. We still have work to do, but it’s a start.

A big difference from last year's page, if you check. Probably the effect of new CEO and bunch of new CTAs popping up everywhere about their paid tools!
People I work with in tech have, on average, much shorter hair than was the case if you go back a few decades. I don't even have especially long hair; get it cut a few times a year in normal times. And while I have some co-workers with very long hair, mine is almost certainly longer than average. Look at photos from a few decades ago and they're clearly recognizable as from another time in no small part because of the amount of hair.
Independent fact checkers not associated with government authorities (like what Twitter is doing in this case) seems like one solution.

I'm really bugged by the leap of logic that fact checkers will supposedly always parrot the government line, when even this specific thread itself is about a fact checker existing that's going against the president's line.

> editing content

Twitter are not editing they are editorializing.
The piece is marked as 'Analysis by Stephen Collinson'. I tend to think that's an opinion piece and treat it appropriately. You call it unfair, non-objective reporting. You fail to identify that it's not reporting at all: it's an opinion piece.

I believe that the unclear identification of an article as 'news' or 'opinion' is a general problem with media. The demarcation was usually clear in the print media, it's often not clear in the digital media. I'd love to see improvement.

I often ask for examples of the press treating Trump unfairly, and I'm always (not sometimes, always) given links to opinion pieces. The public can't seem to discern between the two, which points to a general problem of media illiteracy. This illiteracy is then used to draw false conclusions about the media as a whole, and your post is doing the same.
I've spent almost the entire 3 weeks of my vacation in Turkey in 2015 visiting Roman archeological sites... From the Library of Celsus in Ephesus, to the entire hilltop in Bergama, to the cemetary and fantastic amphitheatre in Pamukkale, to the caves in Cappadocia (okay, those are post-Roman, but they're Christian)... Then there's the mind-blowing Hittite and Akkadian stuff at the Museum of Anatolian civilizations in Ankara... Walking along the Lycian way...
That's a step in the right direction. But both sides of the political media coin are biased in that they don't do fact-based reporting only.

Let's look at the tweet from the linked article and see how reporting should happen:

>"Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices" "We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen. We saw what they attempted to do, and failed, in 2016."

1. Republicans claim social media platforms silence conservative viewpoints.
2. Donald Trump intends to regulate/close them down if they are engaging in this, or prevent them from doing so with regulation.
3. Donald Trump claims that social-media platforms tried to do something in 2016 (insinuating that they meddled with the election).

I don't know about you but I would love actual investigative journalism to look at the above points as it's so loaded and could practically swing elections if confirmed and people decided to act on it.

So the items they need to do for the above facts:

1. Track down some legitimate poll of how Republicans feel about this. Find peer-reviewed studies that look at data-dumps or reports by the media companies. Send emails to social-media companies with details, request data about the makeup of account actions or bans, etc. If < 50% of republicans feel this way, call him out on it. <-- that sort of thing is fact-checkable for Twitter.

2. Talk about the options that Donald Trump has. Investigate the legality about it, consult some lawyers, showcase a poll on the matter, investigate how Common-Carrier laws might apply to this, etc. The media should assume he is right and play that out. What if Donald Trump is on to something and the statistical facts are being hidden. Investigate. Make a note of this and write an article in half a year about how it disappeared from his campaign so he broke his promise/commitment. Hold him accountable, help people see the things that they may have forgotten, be the voice of clear-headed reason and good outcomes for all involved.

3. Really, same as the above on some level. It's been almost 4 years, there is bound to be a plethora of peer-reviewed sources and concluded outcomes. Mention the outcomes of some of the claims during the 2016 election, track down some polls and tie it all together. They're supposed to provide insight and a big-picture view of it all.

I’ve been trying to get a straight answer out of google for a while on this, wondering if you can clear it up.

Does Chrome mobile’s “articles for you” section prioritize AMP content along with Google news?

From my experience this seems to be the case. I find it alarming as the only sites that support AMP are often the big clickbait news fear factories. Meanwhile the little sites who never bloated their pages with tracking scripts in the first place end up getting screwed.

You're getting downvoted, but I don't agree with the reasoning for why people think you're wrong. I'm sure a lot of people will actually choose to do nothing. It doesn't really matter if they're investing in themselves or doing nothing. The point is that fewer people are doing the low tier jobs that we actually NEED people to do, so wages must increase. And so forth as described above.

Unemployment is nuanced because you're incentivized to not even try and probably not really that relevant to UBI fwiw.

When lockdown started we stopped enforcing bedtimes and turned off all alarms. We were in the lucky position where the kids (3 and 5) are young enough not to have any zoom meetings, and I don't have any morning meetings.

Our family shifted to going to bed around 3am and I would wake up around 10am/11am and kids would wake up around 1pm.

We actually had to start enforcing bedtimes again because we noticed we were shifting to a 25 hour day. We got to the point where the kids were up till about 6am before we just went cold turkey and woke them up early so they would get tired sooner.

But our family are clearly night owls. We're now enforcing a 1am bedtime for the kids, and my wife and I are going to bed around 3am, and then we all wake up between 10am/11am.
> Are we supposed to believe that "young people" suddenly get into a tail spin because they have to endure a whole month

They've already basically cancelled college in Canada for September through December. All large classes (so all freshman core classes) will be online and it's doubtful dorms will be open. So that's at least 9 months ruined for high school seniors and college students.

> And the government goes a long way to try to separate tourists from the real society, though you can still get to it if you care to.

It's not like that anymore. There are many Cubans who rent a room in their houses, so foreigners live with them and share with the family.

> The police arrest those who spend too much time with foreigners

It is possible, but I don't think it is very likely. I think those who can be arrested are doing some illegal activity, like selling tobacco or lobster. Generally these products are from the black market. In the city where I live there are always foreigners all year round and they coexist with Cubans normally.
