> Why should everything be federalized?

Generally most policies are good or bad regardless of where you live. If a policy is good it should be wnavted nationwide so to benifit all citizens.

More specifically this has to do with government oversight. When local and state government overstep and violate people's rights and act in an authoritarian fashion the federal government should step in and fix things

> There is no article in the constitution which mandates (or permits) federal supervision of state powers (such as the police power).

You're incorrect. The Supreme Court has found that federal supervision of police powers is constitutional so it is. As it should be.

> The fact that voters fail to hold their lower-level governments to account does not mean that all power (and failure) should be centralized.

The fact that voters fail hold their lower-level governments to account and in fact may be unable or don't wish to is an incredibly powerful argument for the need of a centralized solution. The same now as during the civil rights era
> 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

Telling the internet where to find his last name in the comment above was "an asshole thing to do", IMO. Especially given the security concerns mentioned in this article, I just don't see any good coming from making it easier for people to find him in the physical world.
Um, I know his name but by accident. Why are you trying to track this guy down?

Originalism is degenerate legal philosophy. Textualism is all that is valid. We will look back at some of those ridiculous uncited rulings that speak about “how the writers felt given the time” as foolishness.
The beauty of the article is in exposing the fundamentally emotional, illogical reaction of the SSC's author and associated community. For a group that seems to value dispassionate rationality and intelligence as inherently morally good, their overreaction to this unpublished article is deliciously ironic. Instead of allowing the "marketplace of ideas" to play out, Scott Alexander decided to take his ball and go home.

Ultimately discrediting the "rationalist" ideology was as easy as making them angry.

Actually, the chart for every state shows the initial high value and steep decline of the Rt rate

So, this is likely of no practical value and some kind of data artifact. Best guess is spread before testing, and testing rates ramping up as it spreads, logging new cases at rates faster than they are actually being created, and normalizing to actual Rt rates as the testing catches up
The source of the possession being law is understandable.

I guess what is bonkers or could use some (historical?) explanation is why real property is given an allowance to be taken through use by others, when the ownership of the land is recorded (though probably unmarked physically). To some, extending that logic might say, I have a right to take this bike because it's just sitting in front of a house unused.

Is it to help turnover unused land through the generations and ensure it doesn't sit idle without active use by a rich person? What's the purpose of such an allowance in the law?

I'm guessing it comes from some old British reason.
Russia and Ukraine come to mind for regimes where the Mafia has taken control of the country. The only difference is that there are more natural resources to exploit so the purely criminal dealings aren't as large a percentage of their total portfolios.

That seems like an odd metric. Why should education spending scale with the size of the economy?

Regardless, you could also argue that -- similar to healthcare -- dollars in is not a great metric anyway. Are we getting the best outcomes for that money? We certainly aren't for healthcare, and my (admittedly incomplete) reading on this topic is that our K-12 education system is nothing to be particularly proud of.
Academic Literature:

> Six Japanese Black cows were assigned to treatments using a 3 × 3 Latin-square design. The treatments were black-and-white painted stripes, black painted stripes, and no stripes (all-black body surface). Recorded fly-repelling behaviors were head throw, ear beat, leg stamp, skin twitch, and tail flick. Photo images of the right side of each cow were taken using a commercial digital camera after every observation and biting flies on the body and each leg were counted from the photo images. Here we show that the numbers of biting flies on Japanese Black cows painted with black-and-white stripes were significantly lower than those on non-painted cows and cows painted only with black stripes. The frequencies of fly-repelling behaviors in cows painted with black-and-white stripes were also lower than those in the non-painted and black-striped cows.

> Please try and understand that things are different in the USA. Look at the mass shootings over the past several years and the ideologies behind them. Look at how Sandy Hook parents were caused to be harassed by Alex Jones.

What has any of this got to do with free speech or censorship? If there is any form of harassment the Courts are always open. These are legitimate grounds for which there are laws. I am sure the US has laws concerning harassment. We have a Defamation law. I am sure US has something similar. Why should Twitter (or any social media for that matter) change rules to address something that is a Criminal case? How are social media companies responsible for this? Did social media exist when Columbine High School massacre took place? Nope. So I can counter your point by saying that whatever be the ideology behind the shootings it has nothing to do with social media policy. Even if social media did not exist, these school shootings would have happened nevertheless! This is what is called slippery slope. To use random, unconnected real-life events to influence changes to company policy that have no bearing to the actual purpose of the company's existence.

> What did Twitter do in your country? Sounds like a slippery slope fallacy to me. What are the laws around forums in your country? Can you sue a forum for user content?

What Twitter did in my country is quite a long story. But rest assured that Twitter is already being actively investigated by my Government because citizen groups with right wing political affiliation went with an official representation against Twitter. This is along with evidence. As far as laws around forums are concerned there aren't any. Not yet at the very least. Because for a long time our laws mimicked the West. But that has changed of late. In many areas we are taking the lead. Like for instance, India was the first country to ban Chinese apps citing National Security. Other countries are following suit. It may not be surprising if you see more such regulations around social media sites like Twitter, Facebook, Youtube etc in the near future.

Twitter behaving as a publisher is treading on slippery slope. What stops Twitter from interfering in our elections tomorrow by attaching its opinions to tweets from politicians? Nothing! We don't want interference of any sort. Elections should be fair. All sides of the political spectrum must get a chance to place their points without any interference from a foreign entity. Indians use Twitter because we believe it is a platform. But that belief is fast fading. And it is not just Twitter alone. I have had my Youtube comments removed for the mere mention of "China" or "Coronavirus". And I get no alerts either. I have to intentionally misspell it as "Chyna" for the comment to be posted. This is pure censorship! And I am not living in China for my speech to be censored this way. I live in a free society where anyone and everyone have the ability to speak their mind! We are the 8th largest user base (and growing rapidly) for Twitter. What do you suppose will happen to Twitter if India bans it for political interference?
It's not even a matter of debate that the west is culturally superior to the rest of the world, particularly China of all places. Chinese elite send their children and capital to the West the moment they are able. Western elite sending their children to live in China is a comedy. Get real. Always with the USA is just as bad as us nonsense lol. China is an Orwellian nightmare the West merely dreams of being.
It seems like it's about the optics in the present BLM-heavy climate.

But you're absolutely right that the market sets rates. And did no one wonder why the hell Andela would exist and be so valuable if there wasn't significant arbitrage to be had? They're a business not a charity.

I'm reminded of a story about child laborers and Nike. In an almost Kafkaeque twist, locales where this was happening ended up experiencing significant economic setbacks when Nike decided to close up certain offending factories.

This is just another classic case of people reacting emotionally, biasing towards their own set of experiences and points of view.

Are you saying the negativity is ironic or sarcastic? That sounds like a cheap excuse.

Self-criticism and self-irony are also extremely important, but they need to be constructive, not just self-flagellation.

Full independence from the Ottoman Empire was achieved in 1908.
I think you missed an important one, which is: how much do bugs even matter?

A bug can be critical (literally life-threatening) or unnoticeable. And this includes the response to the bug and what it takes. When I write code for myself I tend to put a lot of checks and crash states rather than tests because if I'm running it and something unexpected happens, I can easily fix it up and run it again. That doesn't work as well for automated systems.
I assume they are being facetious.
Property boundaries affect home value, though. The parent who brought this up bought a house with the understanding that he would have X square feet of land, but it turns out, due to this weird situation, he only has some Y (< X) square feet. Presumably he might have wanted to pay less for that.

Twitter is a private platform, it's true. But the GOVERNMENT is prohibited from using the services of a private contractor to chill the exercise of one's first amendment rights.

Not that that will limit the creation of ethically dubious firms like ClearviewAI or Palantir.

> Does it make sense to unit test a method that sends a request to a REST API to get geographical coordinates? Most likely, not.

Isn't a "unit test" which sends a request to a REST API almost by definition an "integration test", or even a "live server smoke/staging test", since it is testing the integration between separate live systems (the requesting code and the server).

If anything, what should the unit tested if anything is the code that generates the request, which should be separate from the code that sends the request to the server. But only if that code is non-trivial.
Observing successful SREs in my companies, most of them have the ability to manage their emotions under the extreme pressure of a serious production outage. You might even wonder why they are not stressing out.

If you have not heard of the Google SRE book, I think it is a good introduction to the systems thinking SRE mindset.

At Google, SREs are recruited from the ranks of the best engineers. SRE positions at the top tech companies are typically not offered to new graduates because of the trust and responsibility required. If you want to accelerate the process, join a startup that is Cloud native or an established company that is transitioning to the cloud. These types of companies will be more eager to hire a junior who is teachable and coachable.

Less than a 100 (Ottoman Empire was dissolved in 1922), though Bulgaria went independent from them in 1908.
I feel like a lot of unit testing is just another form of bikeshedding. It's easily understood, everyone can talk about it, and you can spend a lot of time on it with no clear goal but feel like you're getting something done.

You probably don't want me. Not because I'm no good; but because I'm the wrong stack.

However, I do have something that will tell you an unbelievable amount about me; the StackOverflow Story[0].

I have a gigantic portfolio, with dozens of repos, hundreds of thousands of lines of code, a decade of commit history, dozens of published articles, going into tremendous detail about the way I think, work, architect and code. I also have a bunch of apps on the App Store, with full source[1].

TL;DR: There should be no question as to my abilities, or even "soft" factors, like personality and team dynamics.

Maybe you don't want a "shortcut." I was a development manager for a quarter of a century. It was a small, high-functioning team. Every person we hired became part of the "family," and was a commitment. When they finally rolled up our team, the person with the least seniority had a decade.

There was no way that I would “shortcut” that hiring process. Each engineer was a major deal. I would have killed for the type of information that even a quick glance at a GitHub ID will give, let alone an SO Story.

It has been my experience that the "shortcut" everyone wants, is a 50-line binary tree leetcode test; which I am pretty terrible at, as are many experienced engineers.

For some reason, that tells more about me than the portfolio; which recruiters have always immediately ignored. It was insulting. It was meant to be. After a few of those, I just gave up looking for work long ago. I now just do my own thing. I don’t have a thing to prove to anyone.

I am not alone. I routinely visit GitHub pages jammed with detail about how people work.

I often see solid green activity logs (like mine[2]).

You should look for a portfolio, and ask why not, if they don’t have it. Also, don’t wait for them to come to you. Seek them out. Use your network. It’s a big deal. It’s worth the time and effort.

Similar to you, "discoverability" is what irks me about MS trend recently.
As you say, the version you can "view and instantly know" = easy to discover what/how you can do.

A lot of MS stuff recently seems to have forgotten that people need visual cues to "know" what to do.

> A speaker is very different to a microphone.

Is it? I've definitely had fun little experiments where I turn a microphone into a speaker or use a speaker as a microphone. It's just a matter of whether I'm powering the membrane or whether the membrane is powering me, i.e. its just a matter of which side of the mechanism I sit on. It's a conversion between electricity and mechanical vibration that can be driven from either side.

I'm sure there's a lot of engineering trade-offs that change if you're looking to optimize for recording fidelity vs output fidelity, so the details of their implementation are probably quite different, but at their core the two don't seem all that different.

Maybe they're totally different in the MEMS world?
More seriously, the nice thing about this "prediction" is that it's so close. So I can go on record and say: Teslas will not be fully self-driving "by the end of the year" nor even by the end of next year, nor the year after that. I doubt we'll see one in 2030, for that matter.

If a car isn't smarter than a human, it will kill people in ridiculous circumstances. Reaction time can be an order of magnitude better than human, but you can't release a car that occasionally drives over a baby for no reason.

'Unknown pneumonia' deadlier than coronavirus sweeping Kazakhstan, China warns
This very much reminds me of the riddle in Game of Thrones:

"In a room sit three great men, a king, a priest, and a rich man with his gold. Between them stands a sellsword, a little man of common birth and no great mind. Each of the great ones bids him slay the other two. ‘Do it,’ says the king, ‘for I am your lawful ruler.’ ‘Do it,’ says the priest, ‘for I command you in the name of the gods.’ ‘Do it,’ says the rich man, ‘and all this gold shall be yours.’ So tell me – who lives and who dies?”

The more interesting question to me than "who lives and who dies?" is "who holds the most power?" The three great men have enormous resources to influence the sellsword, but in this situation isn't it the sellsword ultimately making the decision and being the agent of change? Does the military let POTUS pretend he has ultimate power, or does "respect for the institution" really overpower the military?

I really hope "respect for institution" is more powerful than our military. I think so far we've seen that it is, but the current administration seems to be attacking our institutions pretty aggressivly.

> I don't think his words were polite, in fact I think it was quite the opposite. If I wanted a civil discussion I would not have listed any contact information about anyone. I would have said, "I am archiving the blog until further notice because I need to think about what kind of content should be made publicly available because words have power and it's important to think about what information and inferences we make available to others through those words".

The fact that he didn't do that means he did not have such intentions. There is now evidence for an actual harassment campaign against the journalists.

The coded message is referring to the original journalist. I don't understand how people can look at all this evidence and still think the rationalist community isn't acting in bad faith when there is actual evidence on twitter of actual coordination among its members for a harassment campaign.
