Also in Sweden:

"Now, increasing numbers of workers are also coming forward to criticise regional healthcare authorities for protocols which they say discourage care home workers from sending residents into hospital, and prevent care home and nursing staff from administering oxygen without a doctor's approval, either as part of acute or palliative (end-of-life) services.

"'We were told not to send them in'
"They told us that we shouldn't send anyone to the hospital, even if they may be 65 and have many years to live. We were told not to send them in," says Latifa Löfvenberg, a nurse who worked in several care homes around Gävle, north of Stockholm, at the beginning of the pandemic.

""Some can have a lot of years left to live with loved ones, but they don't have the chance... because they never make it to the hospital," she says. "They suffocate to death. And it's a lot of panic and it's very hard to just stand by and watch."" (https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-52704836)

My understanding is that Sweden avoided overcrowded hospitals by only offering palliative care (which doesn't include oxygen) to the elderly.

>No matter what TikTok does

In my opinion the claim of persecution based on origin is unfounded. The apps have demonstrated potentially illegal actions by gathering the data how they do. I don't think they are the only ones that do this in the market but that is besides the case. I hope more get unmasked. This EO may produce precedent in regining intrusive borederline illegal spying (intrusive data gathering) via social media sites and applications. POTUS does have the power to reign in companies operating in the US market especially when demonstrating potential harm to citizens.

I'm worried about the asymmetry of enforcement as much as you are. However, I wouldn't put it past the current POTUS to do something stupid and invalidate his athority.
> Maybe you guys should look into doing your jobs instead of "fighting white supremacists" on taxpayer dime?

Wait a moment, you can argue about whose purview exactly this is, but are you saying that fighting white supremacists isn't a good use of taxpayer dollars? It's certainly a cause to which I'd be happy to know my taxes were going.
You neglect to mention that most of those countries are islands with a couple tens of thousands of residents.

> Why do people still use the term white supremacists to imply some nefarious group? The term has lost all value and is now used in mainstream best selling books and media to describe every white person.

What is an example of mainstream best selling books or media that use it that way? (I mean which specifically, not just in the sense of "it feels that it's used so much that it might as well mean that.")

I'd argue, even if you are right about this useage, that "white supremacist" should still be used to describe white supremacist activities—responding to the dilution of a word by refusing to use it at all does no-one any good—and that activities properly so described should be regarded as nefarious.

Gerard 't Hooft knows a thing or two about being a GOOD theoretical physicist. But I do have one general complaint about what he is saying. It is apparently common for people, especially ex-physicists like myself, to think they have figured it out (whatever "it" is). In reality, they just forgot (or never knew) enough to realize how bad their idea is. He pretty much agrees with this and his solution is for people to learn it all. In _general_ I don't think it's fair to say you have to be an expert to contribute. We wouldn't make any progress if nobody was allowed to make a suggestion unless they were an expert. This would pretty much silence me (in things not related physics, such as software, or if I was so inclined, in physics too).

Now, I am being a little unfair. I think it is great what he is doing. AND, if anyone does think they have solved the secrets of the universe, don't take it to one of the top physicists in the world before checking it out a little more humbly.

But in any oher case, just throw caution to the wind and don't worry if you don't know everything.
Your numbers are way off.

25% percent of NYC was seropositive in May. So that works out to about 25k per 100k people.

The reported cases have always been just the tip of the iceberg. And we never knew how big the underwater part was. We still down't.

Take the current situation, is the disease penetration larger than that in March/April? Most likely not, not even close, yet the reported new cases are about 5x larger.
Yes. I was horrified at the point of:

Absolutely. The goal is to make ABD status available to anyone. Students learn better with programs than with lectures. Profs have more time because they don't have to lecture. Grad school becomes a more collaborative, research-based experience. It seems like a win-win to me.

The software side of it is tricky though. You often need a mental model before you can code. That's got to come by text, video, or whatever. So I have to develop something like a dynamic book with an embedded REPL. I've heard of small efforts in that direction (_why's tryruby.org was good but it's been taken down), but nothing built-out enough to support a multi-year reading project.

Yes, me too! This is really great, thanks! I'll definitely be using it.

It says that we still believe in the rule of law, not in just allowing cops to be judge, jury, and executioner on our streets. To be sure, shootings due to self defense happen, but we have entire protests and riots in the United States right now over how often cops kill innocent civilians without justification, and are protected by the system from any consequences.

Schema.org seemed poised to change that but they only use a couple of types and then only for a few types of searches.

Prettier.js is fantastic. I don’t think it does any function remapping right now though, does it? Seems like a better fit for Babel.js, since its whole reason to exist is backwards-compatibility.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you're saying and think this is excellent analysis.

However, I struggle with this part.

> In the short term, US moves to destroy Chinese tech firms and effectively transfer their assets to US firms are not helpful for global stability.

I can concede that this action by the US doesn't help move the US-China relationship into a more cooperative one. To your point, however, the US is not willing to move into such a position anyways.

So, given the US desire to effect change in their existing US-China relationship, why should the US let things like Huawei and TikTok proceed? It's pretty much par for the course as far as US foreign business relations and policy created by the executive branch.

Creator of a popular web component library here. Some observations:

> one of them is already deprecated, and v0 of another one is also already deprecated.

Sometimes you swing and you miss. Instead of moving forward with the initial design, they iterated and improved it. That’s how software works.

> The API is so bad, that the official stance is "the API is aimed at library and framework developers, and you are not expected to write your components using this API".

It’s not because the API is bad, it’s because the term “component” has become ubiquitous with framework components and that’s caused A lot of confusion. Web components are lower level than React/Vue components by design, but people hear “component” and have the same expectations. Having worked with web components almost exclusively for more than a year, I feel like the APIs are thought out fairly well. They’re not perfect, but they are good and there’s momentum to continue improving them (e.g. declarative shadow DOMs).

> You cannot extend some (most?) of the built-in components. And even if you can, your custom implementations will not participate in form events

It’s still pretty new, but it’s coming. These things take time to get right and become supported by all browsers. Search for form-associated custom elements, for example.

> They break accessibility

Only if misused, which is also possible to do in any framework or even plain HTML.

> They don't work without JavaScript

I’m so tired of hearing this. How well does your React/Vue/Angular/Alpine/jQuery-based app work without JavaScript?

Browsing the web in 2020 with JavaScript disabled is like driving your car down the road without any wheels. Things just aren’t going to work right. The experience will be inferior even the when effort is made, but IMO it’s not reasonable to expect developers to accommodate the < 1% of users who might actually do this.

> They cannot be rendered server-side

I’m no expert in SSR, but Stencil offers some examples of how to achieve this with their compiler, which is a joy to use. [1]

> They are not strictly HTML, but a subset of it, because you can't provide callbacks for their custom events

It wouldn’t make sense to provide an “onclick” style prop for custom events, but you can attach listeners with `addEventListener` like any other event. The syntax is identical.

> And on the social side of things, their proponents will very rarely acknowledge or discuss these issues in public

I’m a proponent and I’m happy to discuss these things in public.

It seems, however, there are a lot of misconceptions about the underlying specs. Maybe that’s deserved — it took a long time for web components to get this far and it’s been a bumpy road. That doesn’t mean it hasn’t gotten much better.

I’d encourage anyone who hasn’t explored custom elements, shadow DOM, et al recently to take another look. We’re building some awesome things with them!

Breaking up tech companies into smaller companies has been suggested a lot lately, probably most notably by Elizabeth Warren's recent pushes.

A relevant quote on her approach is here:

>Apple, you’ve got to break it apart from their App Store. It’s got to be one or the other. Either they run the platform or they play in the store. They don’t get to do both at the same time. So it’s the same notion.

>If you run a platform where others come to sell, then you don’t get to sell your own items on the platform because you have two comparative advantages. One, you’ve sucked up information about every buyer and every seller before you’ve made a decision about what you’re going to sell. And second, you have the capacity — because you run the platform — to prefer your product over anyone else’s product. It gives an enormous comparative advantage to the platform.

You can find a transcript of this full interview at [1], but she's mentioned it several times and other politicians have also made their own, similar suggestions.

The mess here is a bit deeper than that:

* PPRA gives us rights to inspect school curricula. We can't, since they're locked up at Pearson.

* FEPRA gives us rights to inspect and correct student records. We can't, since they're locked up at Pearson.

* FOIA state equivalents have historically given us access to most of everything else. We can't, since they're locked up at Pearson.

See a pattern?

This is devastating to education research, educational policy-making, and general progress in education. FSF isn't 100% right about the fix, but we do need something like an AGPL or CC-BY-SA broader rights framework for education.

(And yes, Pearson is just a stand-in for the broader ed-tech industry).

Using Nike as an example it's really just a judgement call on their part. If the next top bidder is a Nike retailer, they lose nothing if they don't bid on the term.

But they do it anyway, their call.

Of course there are examples where a company does stand to lose if they don't bid on their own name, and that sucks, but what's the solution? Give companies free top position on their name? How many variations of their name? Do they get related phrases too? What about when (as with Nike) the word can mean other things? What about when there are multiple claims on the same name? Does Nike the shoe company get a free spot over an educational page about Nike the goddess?

And so on... It's not an easy problem to solve, whereas letting companies choose what they want to bid on is simple.

Cloakspace – An Anonymous Platform
Cloakspace is different from a typical social media platform which logs all sorts of data about the user. We do not store any of your data and simultaneously provide a smooth experience. We tried to provide all sorts of features which can be exploited without storing information about the user. There are no hidden costs involved. This is a completely free platform where you can leave your thoughts and read some more without constantly worrying of being tracked or judged by someone.

P.S. Leave a star if you loved our project.

> and if you can ensure by automated tests that md5 is used nowhere

You can automatically check for the string "md5" in identifiers, but you can't reliably automatically check for implementations of the MD5 algorithm. All it takes is for someone to copy-paste an implementation of MD5 and rename it to "MyChecksumAlgorithm" and suddenly very few (if any) security scanning tools are going to be smart enough to find it.

(Foolproof detection of what algorithms a program contains is equivalent to the halting problem and hence undecidable, although as with every other undecidable problem, there can exist fallible algorithms capable of solving some instances but not others.)

> what they couldn't have done, probably, would have been cleanly implementing that on top of class-based components without then having to tell their large and influential functions-are-the-only-way constituency that they'd need to write a lot more classes in the future.

They were saying that for a long time before hooks when the only way they had it implemented at all was for classes, and functional components were usable for much narrower use cases. I suppose, if they could have done it cleanly with classes, they would have, whatever that meant saying to those downstream who aesthetically preferred functions. I don't know if it inherently worked better with functions, if the core devs themselves are just more proficient in that style, or if it was just a confluence of experience and the timing that the push to improve functional components occurred, but in the end functional components are just much cleaner.
