Is there some special property of the US that makes it immoral to control its territory like other nations?

Candidly, this feels like grooming.

> a money order is usually cheaper than a cashier's check

My bank (one of the big U.S. banks) issues cashier's checks for free if you have an account there - you just hand them a withdrawal slip and they'll give you the check instead of cash. (I just have a basic checking account, not some kind of fancy "premier relationship" with my bank.)

I think the author doesn’t go after the right-wing house of mirrors because it has far less indirection. What veil do you think the right-wing puts up over your eyes that distorts their message? It’s pretty clear what they mean to say, and what they believe.

The mental gymnastics are all occurring on the new left and hyper vain social media stratosphere where true values and beliefs are a muddled mess. Since they are in this amorphous stage, they are vulnerable to solidifying into forms that propagate the status quo.

Understandable, it’s a somewhat new way of thinking called “Modern Monetary Theory.” See Kelton’s “The Deficit Myth” for more info. Many interesting threads in the last year on this: https://www.google.com/search?q=modern+monetary+theory+site%...
I meant "can be" in that if you buy one rated for those temperatures it will reach that, but not all heat pumps are rated for that.
Where to start...

First, nowadays altering the DOM is way more responsive than loading a new page, so no one really wants HATEOAS -- not even users, but especially not the sites we like to visit because they don't want to put out public APIs anymore. For non-browser app APIs (public or private), well, they can be the same, just driven by JS when in-browser. This... is sad. But this is a fact of life now. Just watch Tom Scott explain why the APIs went away, and when the APIs went away, so did HATEOAS (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxV14h0kFs0).

Second, there's a lot of APIs that needn't have anything more than one end-point -- no links to traverse, no HATEOAS. For example, a certification authority can take a CSR and authentication and return you a certificate -- one end-point is all you need, and other than that, the API can be RESTful in every sense. And then there's APIs where links aren't necessarily abundant or interesting.

Third, HTTP kinda sucks anyways if you're dealing with databases. There's no nice RESTful way to construct transactions unless you put the RDBMS smarts into the client (JS again), which you can't do if it means trusting the client (it does). So right there, REST is broken anyways. Sure, if you're distributing your database, you need to deconstruct your transactions anyways, but you're not going to trust a user-agent to get that right, and anyways, you can't really do that with a HATEOAS interface.

Put another way: show us how to build a secure application with REST (including HATEOAS) that a) users will enjoy, b) companies want to build, c) with complex transactions. If you do, we might all get our pitchforks out and protest for HATEOAS. Searching for examples of HATEOAS, I don't find much. Sure, for proprietary, corporate apps HATEOAS can be meaningful, but even there, I suspect for devs it's easier to just define APIs and drive all in-browser interaction via JS.

Really cool stuff I might add
GDP is a proxy for quality of life. Reason that continuous economic growth is a goal is that the economy has a number of feedback loops it in. If the economy is growing, people are more likely to consume, more people consuming results in more economic growth.

If the reverse is happening, the economy is contracting, this results in people spending less, which results in the economy contracting more, which results in people loosing jobs, those people have less money to spend etc.

Zero economic growth is unstable the slightest bit of noise will cause it to shift into a contraction. So having economic growth and using the limits to the rate of growth to control how much growth happens is much more stable.
Are you defending the article's claim that "In short, immigration creates more economic opportunities for everyone: a win-win scenario"?

That's a tall bar to clear.

"More [house cleaners] makes it easier to [clean more houses] and more manageable prices making it easier to expand the market. Lower [house cleaning] cost makes pricing better which makes demand increases. There’s a positive feedback loop that also results in more opportunities for [house cleaners]."

Clearly house cleaners currently working in the US would benefit from unrestricted migration of people restricted to house cleaning.

"Scarcity of talent leads to competition which leads companies to be aggressive in deterring movement of employees to competitors so things like non competition agreements increase. In extreme cases you get cartel like activity between Apple <> google and others agreeing not to recruit or hire each other’s employees."

Obviously barriers to entry to professions do not always (probably never not once ever) lead to the subjugation of the members of that profession by cartels. I assume brain surgeons are then the worst off having been captured by hospitals, held in captivity and forced to preform brain surgery all day.
> The salaries these companies pay is really competitive.

They might be paying good salaries, lot of companies dont. Even if the salary is good the company knows the employee is not going anywhere since switching jobs on H1B is not easy and their is 10+ year wait for Green card applications from Indians and Chinese.

I have been using ConsoleZ[1] for the last five years or so. It is a fancy wrapper on cmd with lots of features like tabs and shortcuts. You need to install cygwin, git, ssh etc and set the environment variables and it works as similar to Unix shell.

As an 8 year old child, I never understood what briefcases were but that didn't prevent me from having tons of them.
That's quite a lot. The by far most important things for me: Floats guarantee at least 7, and doubles at least 15 significant decimal digits. That's regularly surprisingly low to many devs.
If maintaining the population size is the goal, then an alternative is to make havimg kids more attractive. Free daycare, education, healthcare, etc would go some way, but income stability also needs to be addressed. Even in Europe, the decision to delay kids is primarily economic (after 20 years of net zero growth).

Btw I still want open migration for all the other reasons.

they barely sold off a 1.5% stake, and sold it to their own citizens, who are "forced" to buy it.

And a social security number, and pass a credit check, and have money to pay for the account (either directly by paying a monthly fee or through having enough cash - $x0,000 deposited there). A permanent address also really helps too.

Those aren't obstacles if you already have them/can pass them, but it's quite difficult if you don't! (which; those that don't aren't the most privileged to begin with.) The unbanked/underbanked aren't usually that way because the bank building is inaccessible (though that can't help), they're that way because of other systemic issues, and having the USPS run an account ledger service to all would help.

(The number of places open to those with bad credit isn't zero, but they can't just wander into any Bank of America/Chase/large national bank branch to setup an account.)
I don't know where your "human wants are unlimited" comes from and is a pretty big statement to make to not back it up with evidence.

However even if we except your premise that an increased GDP will help to fulfill this is highly doubtful. A increased GDP can (and does) very well decrease quality of life. Traffic accidents, environmental pollution, obesity, divorce all increase GDP, not sure if they fulfill human wants.

In fact one of the reasons why the US has been so successful at increasing GDP is that the population has an increasingly unhealthy livestyle.
Isn't the same true for osx and linux?
To refame that comment a bit: almost every single resource you find on motivation will mention that motivation is not a matter of passion, it's a matter of discipline.

In every hobby there is always a sense of discipline, it's just usually implicit. For myself: composing orchestral scores started off as a fun little "oh this melody would sound neat". Ever since then, there have been times when I need to sit down and do some "real work" to turn that idea into an enjoyable, fulfilling result. Could I have just wrote things when I want to? Of course. But now, after years of composing, I have the skill to make things that sound great when I really just threw it together.

In software engineering, a beginner or even intermediate programmer is going to lose a lot of their initial motivation to build their idea (game, app, website) -- because in finding the skill to execute on their initial side project idea, they realize they need to develop that skill from scratch, which takes work.

I think there's a good balance between investing skills between "basic knowledge" and "career capital". What that balance is varies from person to person, but I also believe that no matter what, even if it's implied, there is always a certain amount of work that needs to be put in.

Well, that means UK does have a pretty amazing leverage to keep jobs in the country. I am one of the least politically aware person, but I have come to a conclusion that Brexit isn't going to be as good as it is being claimed by people who have voted for it. It's also not going to be as bad as people who voted against it claim to be.

As an outsider, for something as zero-sum as buying a home where supply is low, cost of waiting and indecision can be pretty high.
To declare Apple's model as a success, they will have to survive a lot longer. 3 decades into existence isn't enough to evaluate. Their model failed in desktop computers but worked well in handheld devices. Let's see how well they do in the next computing platform before we are sure of it.
The article does describe import rates towards the end - they mention that there are none for items < $800.
This only makes sense if you remove historical and present context. “White” people voting in their interests has often resulted in oppression of non-white people. It’s really not interchangeable since one group is hoping to end oppression and the other is maintaining the status quo.
Yeah! This is also the same advice I discovered for open source contributions. Browsing for a cool-looking project on GitHub is nowhere near as motivating as a breaking bug as you start working with a library, haha.
I'm not trying to disparage OP's experience and accomplishment, but just trying to give a counter PoV for casual HN readers on the subject.

As many sibling posts have already pointed out, passing JLPT is not trivial for many people. Also N3 level is (IMHO at best) intermediate[0] proficiency and still quite far from fluency. Here's an example of "random" Japanese grade schoolers solving JLPT N3 questions with ease.

That said, just like any subject, language acquisition talents vary from person to person, and no doubt OP is among the more gifted.

tl; dr: do not introduce yourself in Japanese with "waga na wa [name]"[2].

I guess my question would be, why try and incentivize people who don't want to, to have children, when you can bring in willing fully-formed adults?
I doubt that it's per-ISA; it's probably by device or maybe bus/transport. That is, with the right adapter you should be able to plug an ADB keyboard into a normal x86 box and have it work, but Linux will only actually load a driver if 1. it's statically compiled in (rare unless you built your own kernel), 2. you explicitly load it (`modprobe foo`), or 3. you plug in a device that uses that driver.

As a reference point, I know NetBSD explicitly decouples these things; if you plug a brand-new PCI device into any system with a PCI slot, NetBSD doesn't care that you're plugging ex. a Sun keyboard into a "PC" USB card in a PowerPC mac - it has a keyboard driver, a USB driver, a PCI driver, and all of them use the same internal interfaces regardless of where they originated. I assume Linux does it the same way, but I don't know explicitly.
I'm sure if you asked the author "so you're saying that racism only exists when you have power over somebody?" they would reply simultaneously "of course not, thoughts can be racist too" and "but all white people have power over black people because of the fact they are white".

The whole thing is self-defeating, and it is a tragic indictment on the state of intellectualism and academia, that a book like this can be so widely praised.

I don’t think it’s fair to believe I’m just saying “Be disciplined” when I explain how to manage your time.

I do watch Netflix too. But it’s time boxed during the day, the same way working on projects is. And in a day, I don’t work more than 6 hours. I’m always done by 6pm and can do anything in the evening. The key is to manage your time during the day and stick to a plan.

As a matter of fact, OP’s rules feel more like the army to me: having a different user or even laptop for a project, going to a different location, blocking websites like reddit… These are harder restrictions. If I really want to quit a project, I always can. I just need to close my code editor and my terminal. But in my mindset I don’t want to. Because the project is not a burden like the army: it’s 2-hour slots where I’m focused, not overwhelmed, and I know there’s an end to it.

The door to leave is always open but I don’t want to take it. It’s different.
The question I haven't really been able to get answered from GraphQL proponents is how is this any different than allowing frontend dev's to code a Node endpoint for the given task? It seems easier and more restrictive (principle of least privilege) to do so and you can ensure performance/SLI's without complex solutions only a subject matter expert on GraphQL understands. Sure you have a bunch of endpoints, but you would otherwise have a bunch of queries that have to be maintained as well. At the very least you don't have to serialise query logic to the client.

If you have a general endpoint that doesn't have performance guarantees and you need to distribute widely seems to make sense (e.g. a product you want to sell to other companies with a general query interface). I'm sure there is good use cases; but I'm not sure a general website for a company for example is one. I'm curious what the general advantage is as a "default option" for frontend dev's.
I think awesome side projects are at least just as valuable as leetcode, and so you should do side projects exclusively unless you have an interview next week.
> What does it matter whether I'm one of the 49% who are making that argument in good faith?

Because my time and energy is scarce, and so are other peoples. Why should I oblige someone who is arguing in bad faith the time and energy to deconstruct their argument and build it back up to the level of discourse required to talk about these issues, when they will just continually drain me of whatever reserves I have. That's the point of a bad faith argument; to mask as a legit one in order to drain the opposition.

> Do you want more racial division or do you want more human unity?

I don't think that's even the topic of question. Racial division or unity is not at stake; it's justice and equality. Framing it to be about "unity" is an approach that experience has shown people who have paid attention to racial equality & justice over the last 30 years as _not_ working.

> how could my keeping your race constantly in mind do anything but delay your getting what you want?

Keeping in mind a person's experience as you interact with them is paramount for empathy. For a large portion of people in America, their race is inexorably tied to their experience. You're not being asked to think, "Oh this person is Black, I need to act like X & Y & not Z because the SJW police told me to." You're being asked to think, "Oh this person is Black, I need to understand their experience so I know how to act around them so that they feel safe."

Some people find it helpful to boil these down to rules of thumb, but these are simply tools to help people who are new to empathizing with the experiences of POC to not fuck up as much. Take them at your leisure based on your perceived level of understanding.

Lastly, I'll leave you with a few questions to ponder & research if you feel like it's valuable:

How does a society repair the subtle mechanisms within it that perpetuate racial injustice and inequality?

How does a society acknowledge and celebrate cultures that are different from the majority (as in, without erasing them or forcing them to adopt white culture)?

How does a society enact justice for the communities who have been terrorized and brutalized due to racism perpetrated through people, policy, and the power structure in all areas of the country?

To me, "ignoring race" does not come close to getting to the root of these questions. It is extremely palatable because it requires no work on my part, but experience shows it does not actually bear fruit.
The artificial nature of the USPS's debt comes from the fact that congress passed an (unusual) requirement to make it prepay health & retirement benefits.

"The debt it carried jumped from $7 billion in 2008 to $10 billion in 2009. At the end of 2019, the GAO calculated that the Postal Service had $160.9 billion in debt, $119.3 billion of which came from retiree benefits"

They tried the honor system, it was called DFS. According to Wikipedia: "Prior to the introduction of Wi-Fi, one of the biggest applications of 5GHz band was the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar. The decision to use 5 GHz spectrum for Wi-Fi was finalized in World Radiocommunication Conference in 2003; however, meteorological community was not involved in the process. The subsequent lax implementation and misconfiguration of DFS had caused significant disruption in weather radar operations in a number of countries around the world. In Hungary, the weather radar system was declared non-operational for more than a month. Due to the severity of interference, South African weather services ended up abandoning C band operation, switching their radar network to S band."

TWDR is a high-resolution doppler radar that measures winds on airport approach paths to detect wind shear and microbursts. It's a life-critical system. It would be nice to use the bandwidth for WiFi, and the FCC made every opportunity to allow it, but WiFi vendors didn't play nice.

But it's the mail. It simply arrives. If I am in some other country, I pay postage in that country, then that country gives it to USPS and says "your turn now". Are they going to send it back? Surely there can be negotiations between the two countries about how to split that cost paid overseas, but at the end of the day the mail comes in, what are we going to do, not deliver?

If domestic mail is too expensive maybe let's address that.
It isn't only for web developers. It can be useful for anyone. When viewing a web page, you can delete or otherwise change stuff, you can execute calculations, you can check for various stuff, and more. It is very useful on a lot of modern web pages; they tend to be rather unusable without it.

Shouldn't we be looking then at GDP per capita? If there's less people, we can still be producing enough so that producers have jobs and get money and want to consume and &c.

I think that one of the issues with this GDP going down, which might not be the same in the US as in the EU, is the redistributive nature of the economy in Europe. Many (most?) social programs are paid for by people currently working and they're paid right away. In other words, you pay for your grandparents' pension, you pay for your neighbour's hospital bill, etc.

A falling GDP due to low fertility often comes with an ageing of the population. Older people usually don't work, usually need more healthcare, etc. Hence there's a growing need of money to redistribute, but less money coming in since there are less young people working.
Just like when studying or doing homework getting started and setting yourself up is the hardest part. Keep your IDE and relevant tabs open, if you're on Linux set up a workspace for it and just push the rest aside. Once you start tackling some code you'll be in the zone and will probably have to test yourself away from it.
