I don't think it's a dumb question at all. A quick perusal of Wikipedia seems to imply it's a complex issue:

"In addition, because of past land allotments, leading to some sales to non–Native Americans, some reservations are severely fragmented, with each piece of tribal, individual, and privately held land being a separate enclave. This jumble of private and public real estate creates significant administrative, political, and legal difficulties." [1]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_reservation
> Why not everyone assimilate? It is no longer "United States" when we split states off for special treatment for minorities.

Reservations are not states that are "split off" from the US. They are independent nations which were mostly annexed by the US.

I like to start by explaining that UX has existed for over 5000 years: in the way tools are fashioned, pottery is turned, fields are plowed, food is prepared, instruments are played, lore and laws are written, etc. UX is ubiquitous, and determines how readily a person can internalize and then utilize a new concept.

Nice interface. It feels like I'm using Illustrator.

I suppose the intended use case might be very stylized HTML elements? Like designing a really fancy button?

In situations where your intent is to display a stand alone image, rather than add style to an element, am I right in thinking SVG is the better choice? I see HN posts where people create whole paintings out of CSS and HTML, and I always thought the point was to marvel at the novelty of this approach. Do people really think everyday web graphics should be stored as CSS, rather than SVG? How come I don't see more sites using SVG?

Funnily enough, the slatestarcodex thread on this article agrees with you. I found this one comment extremely illustrative of the dynamics in this current thread:

>Overall, I’m pretty impressed by this article. It’s the sort of thing I could see myself aspiring to write. It spends ample time presenting SSC in its own terms, touches on enough of the major touchstones and obscurities of the blog to indicate a serious examination of it, and is precise and restricted in its criticisms. I appreciated in particular the attention it paid to the specific quirks of rationalist subculture rather than trying to lump it in as part of something it isn’t, and the way it (accurately) called out the people who were looking more for a war with the media and were willing rovers use Scott as a convenient casus belli.[0]

No, you can't have someone bring a form with them and show ID. Too easy to abuse.

However, you can list as many people as you like and change it at any time by visiting the school. So we have four or five neighbors listed and my sisters who live in other states.
This is maybe a reasonable argument for lunch on a workday, but doesn’t really apply for dinner or on weekends. There’s a counter argument to be made that for many people their productivity and creativity increases when interspersed with a bit of walking, change of environment, sunlight, etc. Anyway it’s largely a matter of preference. There’s are certainly occasions where it’s nice to relax and order door-to-door delivery regardless, although I’m never personally willing to pay the insane fees that apps like Uber Eats charge.
> You can consider it an over-reaction.

An over-reaction is by definition the result of an emotional response. Pretending that it's not is being just as emotional even if they're pretending to be objective.

> Our society in general has even codified this difference in law by separating 'public figures' from 'private individuals'.

Scott Alexander is far more likely to be on the side of a public figure than a private individual, given the laws we've seen and the way these things play out in court. An example of such a thing is the Sandy Hook school shooting where the parents are considered public figures and not private individuals despite them being thrust into the public spotlight through no action of their own. Note that this codified difference in law matters primarily for defamation cases.

You're essentially talking about a Jetson:

https://elinux.org/Jetson_AGX_Xavier

Eight Nvidia ARMv8 cores, 512 Volta cores, 64 tensor cores, and 2 DLAs - all connected to 32 GB of shared RAM.

It was announced over two years ago and the price has fallen to $800. For another $200 you can add a USB-C to DP cable (for a second display) and 1TB of NVMe storage.

If I had a $1,000 compute budget it's what I'd get. You'd have a more than functional dual 4K daily driver for dev work, browsing, etc plus the ability to run ML workloads. Oh yeah, and it tops out at less than 50 watts from the wall with all but the heaviest tasks coming in at 25-50% of that.
Adverse possession is different. That only applies if the rightful owner gives de facto consent by ignoring the injustice and making 0 express or implied to claim in the property. Petitioning for redress cancels the adverse possession claim (obviously), or else you get legal title to any property simply by taking the property by force.
> If congress doesn't change something, then that means they have determined no change is necessary.

This not accurate. Congress failing to act due to deadlock does not indicate that either party agrees that no change ought to be made, only that congress couldn’t come to an agreement about how it should be made.

To say otherwise is akin to saying that, because you and your husband can’t agree on where to eat for dinner, you must not be hungry.

Both parties might believe that a law needs to be changed, but changed in opposite directions: one might want it repealed, the other strengthened.
I don't think most restaurants have a takeout service in the first place.
This has nothing to do with NetzDG. If he would have spewed something of that caliber openly on the street he would've had to expect the same thing (depending on where in Germany of course).

That there is no "free speech" in Germany in respect to hatespeech has been the case pre-internet too. I'm not a big fan of NetzDG, but I also have to say that I expected much worse censorship-wise when it passed and I haven't heard of gross misapplications of it so far. If anything Facebook and Twitter show that you can still post a lot of hatespeech despite its existence.

so that roughly translates to the state should have access to my personal property( computer / data ) and should have the right to do so by any means necessary. that sounds much better do remember article 11 and 13 were drafts aswell.
I'm tempted to say that the uselessness of Congress is in indication of something else - we've pushed too much to the federal level. The decades-long tooth-and-nail fighting over healthcare makes me think that an effective system just can't be done federally; there's too much disagreement between states. Why not scrap most of the social programs, cut federal taxes, and let states implement their own?
So, technically, you can get rid of a lot of the more egregious clutter with things like Project Lombok.

But I'd argue that, if you need to lean on compiler plugins to do it, it's sort of a rhetorical Pyrrhic victory.
>Why would training wheels increase reliance on other people? As I understand it, that is what self-reliance is about: Not being dependent on others overmuch to solve one's problems

I take self reliance a different way, the ability to completely rely one ones self for a given situation.

With the training wheel example, you're not relying on your.own abilities to ride a bike, you're relying on a mechanical aid that simplifies the 'bike riding experience' should your training wheels break, your shit outta luck and your walking your bike or hitching a ride. Continuing the analogy, as you become more self reliant with your bicycle not only will you feel confident enough to remove the training wheels, but you'll learn to fix other problems. As you take your bike into new territory the training wheels wouldn't let you travel, you'll encounter new problems and by solving these problems you'll gain more self reliance with bicycles.

Maybe at first that bike rider just used their bike for a short commute to work, the training wheels weren't a bother. But by removing them and discovering a bike could take you more places, maybe that bike rider decides to take up mountain biking or just going for rides for fun.

>I believe these people do gain a measure of autonomy and security from buying into one of those ecosystems. Less problems to begin with (devices/OSes are harder to break), issues are easier to fix.

I think autonomy and security are somehwat at odds with eachother. Having autonomy automatically means more risk. If you're self reliant and autonomous it implies you are taking responsibility for this security.

>And as the "guy who knows computer stuff" for way too many people,

You should be teaching them rather than condescending them. From my experiences, most people's issues with computers come down to not understanding and finding it too overwhelming to begin to learn to understand. If you're patient and positive with people they can learn.

A lot of the 'those computer guys/gals' have this attitude where they believe people don't know or don't care and should be protected from themselves. I personally disagree with this attitude and have found just by being patient and positive with people you can get them to take an interest. Once they start to see they can do things for themselves, they get excited and try.
> Her case is just one of 242 student identity thefts that took place in Shandong province between 2002 and 2009, according to recent media reports.

Either there haven't been many cases or not many have been revealed. But why only until 2009?

> Local authorities have launched an investigation into Chen Chunxiu's case and 46 people have been punished.

That's a lot of people necessary to steal an identity!
The judicial branch can decide that a law is not constitutional. It's then Congress' job to find the political will to make the law constitutional. Either by altering it, or amending the constitution. It's a governor on the system. Only the important stuff is supposed to make it past all three branches unscathed.

It either has to be something populist - everyone wants it so I won't get voted out of office - or it needs to be worth spending a ton of political power. When Congress is overwhelmingly in favor of a law, they can prevent a presidential veto. But that degree of unanimity is rarely free. It cost people something else, so it better be worth the opportunity cost.
In Brazil, you're tested on 10+ subjects, ~half of which are open questions and the other half are multiple choice, plus an essay.

Which subject goes in each of those categories depends on the major you're applying for, so you have to decide what you'll want to study in university at age ~17 (or prior to that, really, when you're 15 in High School so you can focus your studies on the harder questions). For instance, if you want to go to Med School (which is an undergrad course in Brazil), you need to know all things Biology, from Nemathelminthes to the Krebs Cycle. Conversely, if you want to go Law School (also undergrad) or major in History, you'll need to know everything that happened between Plato and Gorbachev including really in-depth stuff on Brazilian history. The problem is, all of the High School classes are the same regardless of your intended exam – you have to learn all of the above for school along with everyone else.

And you get to take the same exam for each university you apply to, meaning you basically spend a year taking exams at various dates for all the good universities. Each major has X number of spots available to candidates, to the top X scores get in. Your extracurriculars, who you are as a person, anything on your resume is irrelevant. All that matters is your score.

Want to switch majors? Gotta drop out, take the exam again and restart your university life.

The SAT by comparison is an absolute joke of an exam

I'm cool with saying "revealed".

I don't want to link directly to it because I think it's kind of an asshole thing to do, but you can find a last name on a bunch of posts on Raikoth.net in archive.org. He reposted most that without the reveal on SSC.
I am not bothered by acme / rio issues, since I use acme on plan9port.

However, I have been maintaining a set of patches, including up/down and additional goodies such as bindings for save, copy, cut, paste. Some of them are actually hard coded for Mac (cmd modifier), but not for Linux. It’s workable.

The golang port, edwood, features the same limitations, in my opinion.
>The output of a "UX Designer" is (at least eventually) a UI.

Not only. For example if you add 2000 ms to 15000 ms of latency after each click then you might think it is still the same UI. In fact in a sense it is still the same UI.

In my opinion by contrast (and contrary to your sentence) the UX designer's output can include the latency budget by which the page must be fully returned. This additional output is captured by a term such as UI/UX.

A UI designer has no say about responsiveness (latency). A UX designer does.
The citizen also has the right to speak, to vote, and much, much more.
Life is not all about EV. Especially not monetary EV.

I own my home. It's an objectively bad investment (my tech stocks sure appreciated more than a home I bought in 2008 before the crash :) But I like the feeling that comes with owning a home.

I go out for dinner. (Well, used to). It's objectively a waste of time and money, but I still like the feeling that comes with it.

I play guitar. There's no EV attached to it (in fact, people might pay me to stop ;) but there's still an emotional payoff.

The same goes for the lottery. For some people, there's entertainment value in it, despite understanding the mathematics of it. If you've ever played poker for money - unless you're exceptionally good, you paid money to sit around a table in a smoky room. EV is negative, emotional experience is a lot of fun. (Yeah, poker isn't entirely chance, but I promise that unless you're pretty good at it and spent a lot of time learning, it's pretty much equivalent)
> The idea that our experiments might be detecting a fourth neutrino remains controversial, however, because the Standard Model of particle physics is one of the most tested and thoroughly confirmed theoretical frameworks in history—and it allows for only three neutrinos.

I am frustrated with how the "Standard Model" has become a veil with which a priestly particle physicist class hides sacred knowledge of how the universe works from plebeians like myself.

Why does the Standard Model only allow for three neutrinos? Is it because the math says so? Is it because some other maths only work if this number is three? Does it come from some fascinating group-theory or symmetry groups that nobody teaches at a highschool math level? I can't be the only one who wants to learn more about this stuff.

I don't believe that the Particle Physicist or the broader Physics community is at fault here. I blame our approach to school education.

If we accept that it's ok for a 14 year to be bewildered at quadratic equations and is expected to accept the "Don't worry, it'll all make sense later" line, it should also be possible for the same student to learn about Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the basics of non-Euclidean geometry and symmetry groups.

Our society today has several cohorts of adults who do not have the necessary foundations to understand the Standard Model. We don't plan to educate children in schools today to be able to understand this stuff. It will take a highly motivated adult several years of self study to reach a point where the Standard Model becomes approachable. Do we really want to live in the world where an attempt to understand fundamental truths about the universe can only be an extremely ambitious goal?

History shows us how the world changed when the first translations of the Bible became widely available. We need to think hard about what lessons we can learn and how to apply it to the comprehension-inequality that plagues our world today.

I wonder if the stagnation in Particle Physics after 2012 needs a second renaissance led by a generation who grew up never hearing the phrase "Nobody understands Quantum Mechanics".

Congress didn't make DACA. Obama ordered it by executive memorandum, after a similar Congressional bill, the DREAM Act, failed in Congress.
It's hard to explain but his intention in much of his writing was coded. He would consistently use certain keywords and phrases to make certain associations and when you follow through the logic it becomes very sinister (in fact the comments would take his ideas to their natural conclusion and I did not like what was in the comments and the people that were writing them).

If he did not intend his followers to attack anyone then he should not have named anyone or put any kind of contact information in his post. Only someone that deliberately wants people to contact and pressure the editor would have used the language that he did. He created plausible deniability by saying "he doesn't want anyone to be harmed" and then in the next sentence listed contact information with "suggestions".

If you really wanted a civil discussion, would you have used the type of language that he did?

I disagree with your assertion that this "is exactly why we have 3 branches".

The normal idea behind "checks-and-balances" is that if one branch exceeds their authority, the other two branches can serve as a check on abuse of that authority. The argument being made by GP, though, is pretty much the opposite: Congress isn't overstepping their authority, they're abdicating it. It's basically like they want to be 'checked' by the Supreme Court, because they don't want to have to take a clear stand in the first place.

I mean, I'd wager that if this person says they "met Apple's requirements" then that's probably because they actually had Apple sign off on a long list of requirements that were indeed met, in a formal fashion. When you're working on a project of that size/importance, with companies that large, you don't typically casually say you "met the requirements" without that having been validated by the customer/partner.

That said, I could indeed imagine that behind the scenes Apple had reservations about security which contributed to the canceling of the partnership. Heck, I bet there are lots of reasons that we probably won't get to hear about unless someone involved with that on Apple's side posts about it.
