This is important because tech is pervasive enough that it's just not reasonable to trust other people to manage cleartext data on our behalf anymore. You wouldn't believe the fights I've been in over encrypting databases where the resistance was because it would cut out the unofficial privileged access and impunity the DBAs and their managers had to the business data. The ability to look up someone's personal information in a data lake of millions of people is
socially elevating and there are platform companies where snooping isn't a bug it's a perk of the job.

Part of the reality of living in an increasingly lower trust society is that we need new tech to limit the power of strangers who manage our data. While the game changing aspect of this isn't instantaneous, if you aren't using one in 5 years you will likely have to assert why you aren't using a confidentiality system, and ideally within 10 there will be penalties for exploiting it.

Yeah Apple is woefully behind as I see it. The window management is clunky and backwards and the keyboard shortcuts being lauded here are too.

They get even the simplest things wrong. Instead of labeling app menu items with a word or abbreviation, they use a freaking symbol that isn’t printed anywhere on the keyboard.

They have more 2-handed / 3+ key shortcuts than any other OS despite lacking the ability to let you control every aspect of the macOS GUI like you can with Windows or most Linux DEs.

It’s laughable to me that anyone thinks it’s a good system and I’d love to see a productivity contest between workers who are experts in their respective OSes. Mac people would lose miserably. There’s no doubt in mind after years of working with and watching Mac users pitiful attempts at doing anything quickly or efficiently.

I was surprised by that too. All the human-scale 3D printed construction I've seen before used some form of concrete and not polymer.
My personal impression from these examples you gave is that line-breaking inside an arithmetic expression is generally a horrible idea. If you have something like

let result = (first_long_variable + second_long_variable) * (third_long_variable + fourth_long_variable);

My position is that the only way to make this look good under a line length limit is

let factor1 = first_long_variable + second_long_variable;
let factor2 = third_long_variable + fourth_long_variable;
let result = factor1 * factor2;

(where of course `factor1` and `factor2` would be given names that make sense in context)
>it seems the majority of "liberals" do not really object to their views or actions on China

Why would they? Less than equally free trade over the last ~30yr has driven a lot of blue collar voters into the arms of people who make crude promises to bring jobs back.

Many people would like to see more tactful foreign policy by the US but you'd be hard pressed to find people who think the status quo with regard to China was not in serious need of adjustment.
Python 3 vs Python 2 is easily answered: The differences are subtle (there are concise lists of differences), you can apply any old tutorial/book/Ressource and for instance mostly have to ensure to type print(foo) instead of print foo or foo.items() instead of foo.iteritems().

Depending on libraries, it highly depends on what you want to do. Python for data science? There are tons of great open books.

Python is great for its REPL shell. You can learn the language by experimenting and exploring. This approach is also part of many API docs in python, in contrast to many other comparable programming languages.
Visa free travel usually, and special work visas like the deals between US and Canada or US and Australia. It's also used for retaliation in other ways, like when China revoked visa free travel for Norwegian citizens after Liu Xiaobo received the Nobel Peace prize, or Brazil photographing and fingerprinting only US citizens on arrival.

>jq's special snowflake language

If you'll bother condescending to such, you'll find one of the most interesting languages I've encountered in years. jq's syntax and execution model is beautiful. It has some rough edges, leave no doubt. Some function names, date handling, and the obtuseness of some of the errors it returns can be frustrating. But its data streaming layers of nested closures are an extremely terse, readable, and powerful way of expressing operations over structured data.
> Rather more people than need ICU are being hospitalised.

True, but being in an ICU in Sweden also doesn't mean you're necessarily hooked up to a ventilator. You'll be hooked up to the machine that goes bing, and you'll probably be hooked up to oxygen. It's a pretty iffy proxy measurement for the amount of people who will suffer long-term health effects, but it's probably in the same ballpark. And we haven't quantified the severity of those health effects. For some it means getting winded more easily for up to a year after being sick, and for others it means having to amputate a limb because you developed a blood clot while in a ventilator coma. One of these is not like the other.

>> And since the number of actual cases is probably at least a magnitude higher than the confirmed cases

> That (probably) isn't true, or at least is not confirmed. I would expect most symptomatic cases to be tested now

Ok, doing the numbers for July for Sweden which is when testing finally reached acceptable levels:

10487 new confirmed cases.

62 new ICU patients.

Assuming the age distribution is the same as for the full period, people in their 40's make up 16.7% of the cases and 11.2% of the ICU patients. That's 1751 cases and 7 of the ICU patients, which results in a hospitalization rate of 0.4%.

That's a lot closer to my estimates than yours.

> Being male is also a risk group. If you're a man, most stats look worse compared to women at a ratio of about 2-1.

Fair enough, and it's actually 3-1 for Sweden. Still, that doesn't bring the number anywhere near 1-in-20. 1-in-100, tops.
It's an "entirely political problem" in the sense that European countries have found ways to avoid counting most of the people who aren't working and whose income is coming entirely from the state as being unemployed whereas the US didn't. (Generally some sort of furlough scheme where the state pays their entire wages.) This doesn't fix the problem - a lot of the jobs which still exist on paper are likely phantom jobs that will disappear once companies start having to actually pay employees, people aren't necessarily better off financially (European schemes usually involve a cut to wages, whereas the US unemployment extension managed to pay many people more than when they were employed), it screws over the people who end up actually-officially-unemployed, and it discourages people from moving to new, actually-existing jobs if they appear. It sure does fix the figures though.

Socialism for "other companies," capitalism for us. It's details like this that prove to me how purely ideological it is to claim that we need capitalism to "produce value." _We_ produce value already. Capitalism uses that value for free or a ridiculously low rate, then turns around and charges us for it.

Eradication has been achieved in New Zealand. Much of East Asia is also close. Before anyone says 'people need to travel' - no they don't. It would be entirely feasible to operate a total human barrier, with goods being quarantined before passing the barrier.

True, another spillover from animal reservoirs is likely, either this virus or a similar one. Early warning with prompt response will be needed to control another outbreak. Immediately shutting down all international air travel would be a first action. Imagine if the next spillover is with a virus that is deadly as SARS-1 but as transmissible as SARS-2.

> Nice casuistry you got there.

No, he's the one making claims without supporting data or evidence.

He said, textually:

(About the virus)
"for someone in my risk category the risk of bad outcomes is vanishingly low"

(About the vaccine)
"Whereas a rushed out novel vaccine - which by definition cannot be tested for long term effects - is much more risky, personally"

You can tell he's passing opinions as facts the moment he feels guilty and adds "personally".

The fact that we don't know if there could be long term side effects with the vaccine doesn't mean it is not a calculated risk. The fact that we haven't waited for 4 years doesn't mean the scientists behind it do not fully understand how the vaccine works and what are the potential risks. It's not a blind gamble.

That's why I think it is important, if you're in for a serious discussion and not for anti-vaxxer histrionic propaganda, to make sure we support wild claims with strong evidence.
For certain countries like Cuba and Iran, where relations are colder, there are "reciprocity tables" which give fees and restrictions for immigrants from there based on making comparable requirements to what their country requires of Americans.

> claimed that gay ideology be worse than communism

They basically believe (or pretend to - it's hard to distinguish what is paranoia and what is political calculation at this point) that are the alt-right conspiracy theories are true.

Gender/feminism/lgbt is cultural marxism, Soros wants to replace Europeans with Muslims from Africa, Jews and Germans want to change history and make Poles responsible for Holocaust, LGBT is a conspiracy to destroy the church and turn our kids gay (so that these leftist pedophiles may get them), ecology is a conspiracy to destroy our economy by renewable energy equipment producers and leftists in Brussels. And besides global warming is bullshit of course. Recently government promised miners that we will mine coal till 2060 (despite having to store more than 2-years' worth of it already because our coal is much more expansive than imported coal and nobody buys it except for national powerplants that are forced to buy it :) ).

Even pedophilia in Catholic church is leftist's fault because most of it is male priest to male child so they are actually members of LGBT ideology. Hard to argue with such "logic"...

Sad thing is - it's not just politicians and tinfoilers, decent people start believing parts of that after years of propaganda in state media and church.

Basically there's 30% who believe all of it, 10% who believe parts o it, and about 20% who don't but vote them anyway because of social spending. And it's been that way since 2015...

> reevaluate my prior estimate of how bad communism must have been in poland

that's the fact not many people want to speak about :) 5% of population was in the communist party. In 70s few people were protesting - economy was ok and who cares about these crazy oppositionists.

Communism sucked for people who wanted to be free or cared about historic truth or wanted to have a career, or to achieve something in life without becoming a spy. But for your average person that only wanted to have a job, a flat, and a family it was OK for most of the period. So what if it killed 20 000 people that didn't wanted communism? As long as you're behaving like everybody else it's very unlikely you'll have any problems.

Solidarity was formed because the regulated prices for many kinds of food went up (because they weren't sustainable with the inefficient economy).
Well, that is another area the article got partially wrong. There are many postgres specific features included in Django, and other available via third party packages. And for most things that the ORM doesn't specifically support, it gets out of the way and lests you do them anyway, by executing your own custom SQL, right from the ORM.

If we decide that rounding up Muslims is a no good very bad idea it follows that we should probably try to do less business with those who do or at the very least do business on terms less favorable to them.

On the side of your question, but HIBP's API is designed in such a way that you don't have to give them your password to get notified if it has been hacked. You instead provide HIBP with parts of the hash, and then it answers if you maybe have been compromised. Take a look at requests with devtools on the page https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords

So here it's taken one step further, you don't have to trust that it's the same code running on HIBP, because you don't have to trust them at all for the service to work.
How can we track the progression of this wave? Earnings calls? Any other ideas?
The US GDP shrinkage in Q2 2020 was smaller than Germany, France and even the average of the entire Eurozone. You've been caught out by the fact that the widely-quoted US quarterly figure is annualized by multiplying the actual change in GDP during that quarter by four, whereas the figures for European countries are how much GDP actually shrunk by in that quarter. (Some widely-trusted organisations which should know better even quoted both figures side-by-side in the same article with no warning explaining they weren't comparable. I'm looking at you, BBC.)

If they were actually comparable rather than the US having less of a decrease in GDP, the US figure would be four times the European one rather than three due to that annualization.
The problem is that the second set of arguments lead to policy responses that end up killing large numbers of people. See Sweden.

Internet habits also changed from an active research to eating from the table that someone prepared for you. Even if you do active research now, you inevitably end up on prepared and diversity-mixed pages. Crowd and free write access spoil everything, not platforms themselves. In a sense, the old internet had less free speech, as you couldn't do off-topic and not be fined.

>>Some might want "obscene" material gone, others would love to eradicate "fake news" and a few people might still be around that would instantly jump at any chance to purge the internet of blasphemy against their sky-daddy of choice.

If you want quality you usually contact a business that has gained a good reputation, not an individual person. They usually charge more and have a big backlog spanning multiple weeks but the people they send are highly qualified.

That backlog is absolutely necessary for the business to function though. Without the backlog there is idle time and since professionals work for a salary that idle time has to be paid for by passing costs onto customers.
I don’t think you need an OS to pass structured objects, but rather simply a runtime that supports it, a la dotnet. Basically anything that can allow different programs to run and share memory as well as information about the shape of the objects in that shared memory. This can run on existing OSes and in the case of powershell, it already does. I think Go could probably do this as well via its plugin interface and runtime type system except that you aren’t allowed to unload plugins (so every program you ever run hangs out in memory).

>C++ also has complex object lifetimes but if you don't invoke that complexity you don't need to deal with it.

I would tend to disagree?

In C++, I regularly ran into issues where I "invoked" the complexity with memory/object management completely incidentally, and as the saying goes, shot myself in the foot (or rather, both feet, because lifetime management issues often result in heisenbugs and other really nasty phenomena).

Rust makes that complexity explicit, which is really an analogous argument as with static/dynamic typing; it's not that the dynamic languages "handle typing for you", and "static" simply requires more work. Rather, you're forced to deal with it at the very start, instead of down the road.

Then again I'm rather new to Rust, so I might misunderstand you?
