The "sales pitch" that is relevant here is the one put forth by the DoD and their enormously powerful SIGs for the last 75 years, namely "unions = communism" and "communism = bad".

As much as I would like to believe that there is a massive pro-working-class institution in the US that can afford to spend billions per annum on under-the-table PR/propaganda campaigns to shill collective action, it just isn't the case. The MIC on the other hand... putting those socialized taxpayer dollars to work against the evil working class (around the world).

Memory is not cheap when dealing the real world cost of deploying a production system. The pre fork worker model used in many sync cases is very resource intensive and depending on the number of workers you're probably paying a lot more for the box it's running on, ofc this is different if you're running on your own metal but I have other issues with that.
Interestingly, there is a lot of good advice on this in various writings on learning to read Latin fluently. Word order is very free due to the language's inflected nature, and of course, vocabulary requires constant attention.

The most highly regarded advice to breaking through into fluency is to break the habit of re-reading just as you get into trouble, or breaking off to look up a word. Instead, push through to the end of the sentence, holding as much of it in your head as possible, and being ready to re-interpret any chunks (phrases or clauses) that might admit of more than one interpretation. When you've reached the end of the sentence, consider what you think was meant by it. Only then, go back and re-read the sentence. In some cases, it may be necessary to read more than a single sentence together.

At any rate, I think a lot of people agree with your observation.

> Is that enough to justify the conclusion that “mechanics are bad”?

Maybe not, but it's certainly enough to justify the conclusion that "mechanics should not be blindly trusted". Same with scientists. Doing good science is hard, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if most studies are flawed.

Also, there's a reason the concept of independent verification is so important in science. Even if the scientists doing a study are trying their best to do good science, it's incredibly easy to make a mistake. A healthy dose of skepticism is very much warranted.
The key word there being 'imagine'.
constructive criticism exists tho, being just negative is just cheap
Even "heavyweight" DEs can pull this off. I've been running Manjaro with KDE on my Pinebook Pro and it's been overall a snappier experience than I had even hoped to get out of what is essentially a four year old phone (with only 4GB of RAM) in a laptop form factor.

The majority of popular prejudices are statistically true, reliably arising from the collective observations of a large number of people over many generations.

Most people are kind and feel bad about harboring prejudices; they actively look for evidence to dislodge a prejudice, and make excuses to dismiss evidence supporting the prejudice. Those prejudices that remain in circulation are those for which the supporting evidence prevails nonetheless.
I’m on an iPhone and it worked fine for me as well.
Almost all OSs run on all major architectures. Almost all apps run on managed language VMs, or in the browser.

Some corporate environments are still captive to architecture, or there would not still be about 10,000 mainframes in use. X86 compatibility is transitioning to a similarly invisible need, obscured behind emulation and virtualization.
I kind of feel the same issue is being expressed in search engines as well. As time progresses, more relevant answers are moving down the list. Using Google for example, I'm finding that I have to employ the "Tools -> Time Range" filter to get better, more relevant results.

If the US wanted to take the "hands-off" model responsibly and in a coherent fashion, that is. Unfortunately, due to politics, there's a long history of seemingly contradictory positions parts, or the whole country takes. Every time there a gun-related tragedy, the argument to keep guns is always balanced by "we should provide better access to mental healthcare" - except then to endlessly fight Obamacare. States which seek to restrict abortion as much as they can, don't then lavishly fund welfare programs to support unwanted babies.

The US is in the midst of implementing the "hands-off" model in the same fashion, discordant, with the respective parties playing the expected sides; battlegrounds drawn at state and county lines.
iOS also sometimes creates their own mitigation techniques. Sometimes these are quite strong but often they are…not really mitigating anything; in rare cases they make the situation worse. Shipping every mitigation under the sun is not necessary a good idea.

> There were 1007 shootings by US police last year.

Shootings aren't the only abuse. When a cop shoots their weapon, there is a bunch of paperwork, body cameras get reviewed, lies have to be created to cover it up, etc etc.

Lesser forms of violence get little or no scrutiny. The officer who killed George Floyd didn't have didn't have any problem with sitting on his neck for nearly 10 minutes and his partner didn't see fit to stop him even though the 2 rookies with them and multiple witnesses tried (verbally) to get him to stop. It's pretty clear the Floyd arrest was not that unusual for this guy.

The other big problem is "Discretion". Cops are encouraged to pull people over for random things and what happens after people get pulled over varies greatly based on who you are. If you are black, a broken tail-light pull over can quickly turn into a vehicle search and escalate from there. This hasn't improved either.

> Yes there are probably 8%~10% that are psychos and I think most officers wish they could get rid of those people from their ranks too,

The problem with the "Bad Apple" theory you espouse is that in so many cases the other officers at the incident, the police department, and the union are perfectly willing to circle their wagons and cover up for the Bad Apples. Cops refusing to stop bad cops and lying to protect them is super common. It's become clear that so long as cops are policing cops, the bad apples will remain.

> but hating police just for hating police is childish. All these people calling for disbanding feel like they're just children.

I suspect the people who hate cops, hate them for a good reason. Likewise, I suspect the people who call for disbanding cops honestly feel like it's the best solution to a difficult problem. Yes, some cops do amazing things for people... but for a lot of people an encounter with the police is literally the most dangerous experience of their lives. In order to address this problem, you need to fix that last bit or we're going to see this problem over-and-over again.

I’m not claiming what they did wasn’t successful- far from it. I’m pointing out what actually happened because it stands in stark contrast to how the case of the Camden Police Department usually gets cited. I doubt “hire more police, add constant surveillance” is on any of the lists of demands from activists.

> foster a sense of community, instead of trying to control people by force.

The institutions that are most effective at "fostering a sense of community" are voluntary ones like churches and cultural centres, not coercive ones like police. Social scientists have known for a long time about the critical importance of this sort of civic and community engagement, but it is often misunderstood and considered irrelevant at a political level, especially by more liberal or radical sorts of politics which often advocate for a mixture of extreme social individualism and a radical redefinition of social groups-- generally emphasizing a simplistic view of power relations over a broader sense of community.
>This is more-or-less exactly what I would expect: the younger you are, the more in-person learning matters.

Yes, but I think there's something else more subtle happening - younger kids have a lot less to do. I originally wrote a long diatribe with lots of facts, but it comes down to this: programs like No Child Left Behind et al. have actually lowered standards, especially by decreasing the subjects encountered at younger ages. Things that might have been taught at that age in the past have been pushed up or out.

On the other hand, re: in-person learning... watching my ten year old lap her class because she's on Khan Academy told me what I had long suspected: All of the academic things we are teaching at the early grades can be automated away. In fact, I'm fairly convinced she picked up the material better that way than the classroom approach because she had fewer distractions.

So, yes - my high schooler is even more nominally self-sufficient than my younger kids, but I think it has more to do with the amount of material she has to cover rather than age or aptitude related.

Interesting and relevant speech from Abe Lincoln: http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/lyceum....
In addition to the excellent cases linked by the other poster, here are some more:

Burwell v. Hobby Lobby (2014) - Companies can refuse to comply with the Affordable Care Act on providing contraception coverage.

National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. Becerra (2018) - An example of the first amendment as a deregulation tool. Basically SCOTUS ruled "crisis pregnancy centers" can not be forced to disclose that they're complete nonsense and don't provide real healthcare.

In addition, the current SCOTUS has signaled they're open to reexamining the non-delegation doctrine and the unitary executive theory.

Basically, if the conservative wing gets their way, two things will happen: Executive agencies will lose their ability to create regulations, and independent agencies will cease to exist.

This would be a cataclysmic catastrophe. Every agency listed here would either cease to exist or come under a department directly without a board made up of independent members. This would mean direct political interference at all times:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_agencies_of_the_Un...

For those who don't want to click, this includes things like the Fed board of Governors, the FCC, the NLRB, and the NTSB.

They would become even more irrelevant if they lost their rule making abilities. All rule making would revert to Congress. Let me try to emphasize how much of a shitshow this would be.

Federal Regulations are mostly technical, and need deep expertise in order to develop them. This is why there's a lot of back and forth between private industry and the government. It's true this probably leads to corruption, but I'm symathetic to the argument that these are the only people with the expertise to develop the regulations in the first place.

For example, here's a paragraph from the FCC regulations around RF exposure and safety:

The SAR limits for general population/uncontrolled exposure are 0.08 W/kg, as averaged over the whole body, and a peak spatial-average SAR of 1.6 W/kg, averaged over any 1 gram of tissue (defined as a tissue volume in the shape of a cube). Exceptions are the parts of the human body treated as extremities, such as hands, wrists, feet, ankles, and pinnae, where the peak spatial-average SAR limit is 4 W/kg, averaged over any 10 grams of tissue (defined as a tissue volume in the shape of a cube). Exposure may be averaged over a time period not to exceed 30 minutes to determine compliance with general population/uncontrolled SAR limits.

Do you seriously expect Congress to A) spend time on this stuff? and B) know WTF they're talking about in the first place? No. Instead, they'll just take already written legislation directly from lobbyists, and it won't be subject to the usual rules around public comment and notice, allowing corporations to pass exactly what they want. This is the entire goal.
I agree with you in most part, just it seems you imply PHP is the worse, I assume you mean is worse then Go,Python ,JS etc.
As I said earlier if PHP < Go it does not mean PHP is a dull tool and not suitable for some projects.

If you disagree I am curious of a really example of something that is super hard to do in PHP compared to Python/Ruby/Go , some real world thing. I am aware of the weak points of PHP but I think you can do your job with it, the language is not dragging you down.

I'm a strong supporter of social justice. I don't really object to people putting in work to change language like that if they think it's important. Especially when the work required is minimal.

That said, this is slightly ridiculous. Have customers seriously complained about the term "master"? And my impression was that the usage was more similar to "master copy" than "master of the plantation".

Honestly, it's frustrating to me that companies are willing to take token actions like this that are almost completely irrelevant in the scheme of things but unwilling to lose profit by, for example, not contracting with ICE. Actions like this feels like veiled advertising, even when, as I'm sure is true in this case, there are genuine motives behind them. It seems like the structure of corporations allows only the genuine intentions that require little sacrifice to be acted upon.

It's a stupid subject to have a flame war over, but I don't understand the logic at all.

As a massive Disney fan, the parks would be very different! Almost all new rides in the parks are based on Pixar / Marvel / Fox properties.

Firstly Pixar - The Pixar brand pretty much turned around the failing 'California Adventure' after the 'Pixar Pier' conversion. Toy Story alone has more rides than any other movie with Midway Mania, Slinky Dog Dash, RC Racer, Toy Soldiers Parachutes and Slinky Dog Zig-Zag Spin. The French pavilion in Epcot is getting Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure (which is already in Paris). There would be no crush coaster, no Radiator Springs Racers...

Disney probably wouldn't have entire areas of their park dedicated to Pandora and Star Wars, both of which were after the aquisitions of Fox (Avatar) and Lucasfilm (Star wars). Both Florida and California have Guardians of the Galaxy rides enabled by the acquisition of Marvel, and are planning more Marvel based attractions.

Bob Iger realised that just licencing these properties wasn't good enough - only ownership of the brand can protect Disney's long term interests ('What if pixar decides just to stop making Toy Story? Or refuses to licence their next hot property? Or gets acquired by our competitor?').
Imagine you have a pool of candidates. One has a proven track record. Five are equally good as him but lack the track record. Four are duds.

General agree with the "mark obsolete" button, but I don't think the comment should be optional. If it's optional, you could mark anything as obsolete and you shift the burden of proof to the author (who may be long gone) or some community member to jump in, which sounds ripe for abuse to me. Rather, you should add why this is no longer current and let people with enough rep points verify it, similar to how editing someone else's post goes into an edit queue if you don't have enough reputation.

Might be relevant to mention that I'm quite active on the security stackexchange and regularly review the suggested edits queue (we don't have a constant backlog like stackoverflow does). Feel free to point out if you think this is not a nail for my hammer.

Standard Oil did a lot that was forward-thinking business. For example, oil shipped in barrels - real wooden barrels. Standard Oil got in the barrel-making business because they were having trouble getting enough barrels to run their business. (Today we call that "vertical integration"; they probably just thought of it as doing what they needed to do to keep their business running.) You don't build a business like Standard Oil just by being evil. You have to be able to execute really well.

But Standard Oil did a lot that was shady, too. For example, they shipped so much oil (by rail) that they demanded a kickback from railroads, or they'd take their business to the competing railroad. (This was back when there were enough railroads that there was competition.) That means that Standard Oil was paying lower freight rates (net) than other oil companies. (I think at this time rail rates were controlled by the government, so the kickbacks were probably illegal from that standing, not just from the extortion involved.) Standard Oil then went a step further. They demanded kickbacks not just for their own oil traffic, but for their competitors' oil shipments as well.

If you were a competitor, you weren't going to be able to prosper in that kind of an environment. Then Standard Oil would offer to buy your business...
