Relevant from my old comment here:

I have thought about this before. I believe internet lacks enough echo chambers. In real world, people automatically segregate based on their income bracket, community, values, lifestyle, job, family (kids or not?), healthcare, accessibility to various things, etc. People have all sorts of stereotypes and things they expect other people to conform to based on visible factors. This isn't possible online. There is too little information and our stereotypes will never be correct (too big number). It shocks people. In real life, oh that's a catholic person. Of course I would expect them to say this. Too much difference in opinions leads to defensiveness rather than acceptance. You cannot accept 180 degrees but you can accept 10 degrees slightly left.

Not that you are doing this but it is frustrating when people use this argument to justify the lack of value of some features for the general population, but this is just a "sell to the largest market" mentality. It fails to recognize the value of features that users must learn. This situation is often used to argue some features are unimportant when in fact the observation should be that there is a need for better product education.

Cars, games, and computers in general are examples of products that improve in value more rapidly as users learn how to use them as apposed to trying to cater to the least knowledgeable users. Computer games in particular often do a good job of teaching users about features incrementally.

> Basically immune

That link doesn't really contradict that. It contradicts actually immune, since kids can obviously catch it. However most, particularly young children, don't show symptoms. And most of those that do show symptoms only have mild symptoms.

So yes, basically immune. Kids don't have much to fear themselves, the concern is that they'll infect adults who actually do have something to fear.

> China does it, so it is okay for us to do it is just a very weak defense of this behaviour for us looking at this from outside of China and the US.

Hardly. Reciprocity is common place in all manners of international relations, be it trade, visas/travel, embassy restrictions, and even warfare. The fact that China has been allowed to conduct themselves this way with little to no retaliation is the outlier, not these new actions.

I find your comment to be in bad faith. You failed to address Chinese bans of American companies, which was the thrust of parent's comment, and which is obviously the unfair imbalance China created. Quoting imbalance but ignoring the example is bad faith.

Don't forget rubber tires grinding against asphalt at high speed. Or brake pad dust. We're already at the point we know it's bad to spend much time near highways (say, living within a few hundred feet of them) but haven't, as a culture, really decided to do anything about it yet. Probably because we're too all-in on 55+ MPH roads, so far as infrastructure, so the cost to fix our mistake would be too high.
> Worse is the attempt to feed the state governments between five hundred to a trillion dollars to shore up budgets of states that are not even trying to clip their expenditures

This is so frustrating to me. States pretend like their budgets are sacrosanct and refuse to take any action to prepare themselves. They’ll milk every last drop from their constituents before they start cutting fat.

>Huawei can still buy SoC with US technology in it if it's designed and manufactured by others.

I don't get it, if the U.S. wants to cripple Huawei why would they let you buy SoC that way? The whole point I thought was that any company dealing with Huawei that used some material proportion of U.S. originated technology to deliver goods to Huawei had to stop. Which means in order for Huawei to build chips it needs a supply chain that is almost completely independent of the U.S.

The closets analogy I can think of is like building nuclear submarines. They are notoriously hard because its not possible to globalize the supply chain, everything in its design must be sourced within the country thus requires a specialized supply chain.

I'm curious if you've taken the time to learn Powershell?

It's a supercharged version of bash that works with Windows, but instead of piping character-only data, it can pipe structured data between commands in the form of objects. The reason I ask is because, while it adds a ton of flexibility to shell scripting (to the point where I consider it to be a language), it is also quite complex.

The benefit of shell scripting is that it is simple enough to have as a tertiary language that you can pickup and use after a six month hiatus. Once you get into more powerful language territory, there are a lot more components to memorize and it becomes difficult (for me at least) to keep those idioms in my head if they go unused for months.
Can't remember experiencing that in 25 years on Windows except when combined with ctrl.

Are you sure you didn't hold ctrl down at the same time?

Edit: anyone else has experienced this on Windows without combining with ctrl?
hi! story’s reporter here — like i said in the piece, there’s at least 50 companies that do the same sort of data-relaying, not to mention the untold number of non-ipo’d companies doing the same thing. if the market’s similar to that in the us, that number is likely in the hundreds, if not thousands

It's an interesting alternative to Async-Await / Haskell Monads / F# workflows for sure; and a better fit for Java. But I think some credit is also due for languages like C#, F# and Haskell for providing some healthy competition and prior art in this area.

Yes, regularly, via extensive caps and quotas on visas. That has to be a trick question. As of last year if a European wanted to work in America they had to pony up $6K+ for a 1 in 3 chance in April of landing an H1B for a job that couldn’t start until September.

State governments are totally MIA here. There’s not even a hint they’ll defer state or local taxes, let alone forgive. In fact in some states they’re proposing the highest income tax hikes in their history.
You can't pay for UBI without taxing wages (well everyone's taxes 'cause how you going to pay for it?), so actually the best scenario would be a higher minimum wage than now, plus UBI. Removing minimum wage but just providing UBI would be particularly crippling to the poor who already now have little hope on moving up financially.

I, for one, am glad the TPP is dead. We can have fair international trade without giving multinational corporations "the right to a business model" and letting them seek compensation from governments through tribunal over lost profits caused by changed laws. The TPP seemed absurd in that respect.
Things evolve. A small group of white men in America created the Constitution as a framework - which got rid of slavery, eventually women were allowed to vote, etc. and there's more to do - more evolution toward the ideal system that supports freedom and allows everyone in society to thrive. We've seen this playbook of CCP - Maoism combined with Nazi Germany - just amplified, intensified with modern technology.

This taboo of having opinions about code formatting shuts down legitimate criticism of rustfmt's design and implementation.

There are cases where rustfmt is just bad. I'd argue "objectively" bad:

• match arms are formatted individually, so nearly-identical arms can end up looking wildly differently if they hit different fuzzy logic thresholds. In Rust, enum variants aren't types, and macros can't see enum variants in the match context, so repetitive match arms are sometimes a necessary evil.

• deletion of a line can fold a multi-line construct into a single line. This makes diffs bigger and harder to review.

• rustfmt throws away any human influence on layout of code (short of sorting functions alphabetically). It doesn't merely change the boring bikeshedable mechanics like where the spaces go, but significantly rearranges how expressions are laid out and separated from each other.

For example:

let value = do().something().to().get().a_value_maybe()
.or_else(|| some_error_handling_here)?;

I think the code above is great, because the happy path is on one line, and error handling is on the other. Rustfmt intentionally erases that:

let value =
do().something().to().get().a_value_maybe().or_else(|| some_error_handling_here)?;

That is IMHO bizarre. The value is what? Oh, there's spaghetti in the second line.

Gofmt is way better. It fixes formatting errors it understands, but when there are multiple correct ways to format a piece of code, it leaves the higher-level structure as-is. OTOH Rustfmt has an overriding opinion on everything. Non-negotiable heuristics replace all common sense.

There's no other production-quality formatter for Rust, so usage of rustfmt boils down to:

1. We must use something
2. Rustfmt is something
3. Therefore, we must use rustfmt

I feel like that depends on the UBI amount. Unless you're currently living well below your means, it's likely you couldn't support your current life style on just a UBI.

I'm an advocate for a UBI, and I'd use it to shift from working 5 days/week to 4 or 3 days/week. A move that many argue wouldn't effect the economy's output much at all, considering other countries economies do fine with less average working hours.

Additionally, a UBI would let more people participate in the economy and increase purchasing power of the less wealthy, which would help the economy.

>> When they are gone people will wonder why they were ever allowed.

The engine tech may go away. The vehicles wont. CO2 doesn't cause asthma. Most particulates, at least from non-diesel vehicles, comes from things other than the enigne. Brake pads, tires, even the road surface itself. They all wear down, turning into dust, and get inhaled into our lungs. Electrification won't change that.

One interesting line of research is carbon fiber fires, and increasing problem as many high-end EVs are using CF to reduce weight. One CF vehicle, on fire after an accident, will release a massive amount of very fine particulates that could drift on the wind for many miles.
It's great to hear you use plain JS for most of your projects when there are so many frameworks out in the world. In these times, developers are often fooled into thinking their applications won't 'scale' if they don't use frameworks or opinionated UI patterns.

This is why even the most basic of web applications will be using a framework (I'm not referring to Web Components consumers).

Sometimes, said frameworks and patterns become convoluted and make things cumbersome. On top of that, many will be using bundlers, transpilers for syntax and polyfills, etc. Of course, some of these frameworks are not so tied to build tools and will have ESM support, but the convention is what will strictly differ.

Nevertheless, with some abstractions, frameworks make building web applications fun. However, those abstractions should not be a cause for users paying a hefty price when performance kicks in. Most of the time, these frameworks won't give you a choice. "You pay for what you use" sorta thing.

I really like your conclusion and I totally agree frameworks fit somewhere (large, actually). I just don't get why shipping bulk JavaScript is a price we have to pay. That is why Preact and Svelte have an upper hand in this case.

My take: I'd rather use Vanilla for building my projects instead of a combination of:

1. React with ReactDOM, ReactRouter, React-X, React-Y, React-Z

2. Angular and RxJS

3. Ember with GlimmerVM
I'd prefer we reference CCP instead of China to differentiate the Chinese people from their tyrannical rulers.

The laws in America not outright making it illegal for tyrannical organizations who operate concentrate camps and partake in genocide (Uighurs) to have access to our democratic societies and benefit economically doesn't mean it's not something you should stand for - and where the laws likely should exist for that.

Likewise, the CCP would likely just takeover Tesla's operations - maybe paying them, maybe not. The difference in the US, currently at least, is TikTok has options: 1) they don't sell and the ban comes, they don't receive any $x billions compensation, or 2) they understand a ban is likely in the US (and growing other democratic nations) and they make the smarter economic decision of selling for $x billions - maybe at fire sale pricing, however there are many competitors who could still compete and be capable of taking over operations, so perhaps not as low as otherwise it could be.

We're not hurtling towards the abyss, that's fear mongering; you may be right that SV startups may have to divest their China based investors, however that may or may not hurt them - and that would be the result of countering external costs to supporting and allowing CCP that we haven't been adequately accounting for for decades.

This is a strategic political-economic pressure decision to put pressure onto the CCP - notice that we're paying attention and won't stand for the level of abuse and tyrannical behaviours of the that we're becoming more and more aware of.

Economic pressure and preventing access to democratic societies for economic gain IS the graceful way to go about this, rather than allow CCP to gain more reach, access for propaganda for intelligence gathering and manipulation, to then spoil politicians further and become more entrenched in our societies economically and via investments in the most popular apps, etc.

And finally, the CCP isn't suicidal - their $500 billion stimulus you reference was for their own survival as well; they also wouldn't want this system they've been creating getting its fingers strongly into the rest of the world economy (which they depend on to maintain) to collapse, the collapse of which would mean things would shift greatly and more likely away from their own benefit.
This is not "less extreme" than what you're referencing:

“You cannot run a high IQ [white] society with low IQ [non-white] people…these [non-white] immigrants are going to fail...and they're not just going to fail a little, they are going to fail hard…they're not staying on welfare because they’re lazy...they’re doing what is economically the best option for them...you are importing a gene set that is incompatible with success in a free-market economy.”
As if Southern Poverty Law Center was an objective reference.
As an aside, I think it kinda sucks that we're in the age of information, but I can't google "fusion energy research funding history" and get anything other than op-eds and old news about funding announcements. We should be able to see this information cleanly presented and filter by US, Worldwide, etc. Then we wouldn't have to guess or make assumptions. Is there a source of information I am lacking or do I have to do my own research project on fusion funding just so I can participate meaningfully in this conversation?
Yes but Buzzfeed News has also been caught asking Buzzfeed to report a story so Buzzfeed news can do the "According to Buzzfeed...." kind of game.
I see what you mean. I wouldn't classify that as "basically immune;" "less susceptible to deadly symptoms" maybe. Immunity should include a lack of ability to communicate the disease, which is not demonstrated at all.

... and I still wouldn't put money on children being immune enough to, say, safely open schools even if we discard the child->adult transmission risk. Over half the youngest demographic in the Georgia camp were infected, and children are dying from this disease, even if at a lower rate than adults (how much lower is a really important question).
It is worth noting when Standard Oil was broken up John D. Rockefeller's net worth went up. The sum value of the new oil companies soon exceeded the value of the old monolith.

Also for reasons I cannot explain, investors happily watch the failed conglomerate model re-invented time and time again, even though history shows conglomerates running their divinions into the ground.
To my understanding this ESM module uses native ESM loading on Node versions that support it, which is why others point out its behavior with top-level await is deficient in the same ways that Node's own behavior is, though it tries.
I think a lot of people envision workers being given a choice to go back to work or stay on unemployment, but that is seldom a choice. You can't legally turn down your old job and stay on unemployment (at least in every state of which I'm aware, but every state's unemployment system is slightly different). Certainly there will be some people who do it, but you would basically have to commit fraud to do it.

This causes the states' perverse incentives that you mentioned. Many people believe a big push to reopen has been motivated by states trying to get people off unemployment as they know some workers would rather stay safe at home and lose unemployment benefits than return to work in an unsafe environment.
Yes, but that only matters when the worker in question is faced with the choice of whether to work or not. Right now unemployment is through the roof because effectively all the service jobs have evaporated. There are no jobs. No one is sitting home savoring their cushy $600 benefits bonus instead of working, because there is nowhere to work anyway.

The argument against generous "unemployment insurance" vs. "UBI" is valid enough. But it's based on an assumption of near-full employment that doesn't hold right now.

Basically: this is not the time to have that argument.
⌃K actually kills the text.

Your fallacy is assume that we were previously in a state of "fair play". Viewing the last few decades US global corporate hegemony as "fair play" requires a tremendous ignorance of the methods and impact of US global corporate dominance on most other countries of the world.
Don't think this kind of thing is new, rare or shocking.

I think if you're entombed in the SV bubble, it might not be. But to the rest of the world, it's kind of head-shaking.

Maybe it's because of the industries I've worked in, but clarity of communication was valued, encouraged, and even something we had training in. Say what you mean, so misunderstandings don't lead to mistakes.

The public relations people were trained in what not to say, because that was their job. But for everyone else, internal expression wasn't squelched out of fear of external forces.
Molyneux is detestable but SLPC has no credibility. They recently settled a defamation lawsuit against Majid Nawaz an anti-extremism Muslim reformer who they labeled as an anti-muslim extremist.
