>Have you ever seen congressional approval ratings?

I have, have you? General approval ratings for Senators and Representatives tend to be extremely high, and in turn the reelection rate of incumbents is quite high as well. Or did you mean "approval of Congress as a whole"? If you did that's silly because people do not vote for Congress as a whole, people vote for their own representatives within that body. Since the population is not perfectly uniform in its beliefs or priorities, that means inevitably even the most perfect hard working representatives will certainly not get their way all the time, and will probably flat out lose fights sometimes, which means that the body as a whole will be making one group or another mad almost all of the time. That's the reality of organizing a diverse group of people though towards goals too big for them to handle individually. It would make no difference for any system of governance whatsoever short of some sort of compulsive mind control, the population will be angry about decisions some of the time.

If you were going to object to GP, a better (scarier) counter point would be that as technological advancement has ever more eclipsed individual human power, it's not at all guaranteed that at some point a totalitarian regime couldn't emerge backed (and/or run) by sufficient tech to be internally long term stable even against the wishes of the majority population. Or for another side, that could simply do away with said majority of the population.

playing the devil's advocate

The article prefaces by saying this

"One way to cement a claim to a disputed territory — and to anger others who think it belongs to them — is to build on it."

Then goes onto describe the disputes almost being exclusive between China and the US Navy, and further reinforces that point by saying,

"The U.S., the longtime guarantor of freedom of navigation in Asia’s waters..."

I'm sorry, but isn't it sort of ironic that Bloomberg accuses of territorial disputes mainly with China as being the aggressor, when most of their maritime incidents are almost exclusively against the US Navy?

De Telegraaf and het AD alone have lost about 800k subscriptions in the last two decades.

The curves for the other newspapers are far less profound and some of them do really well in digital subscriptions (NRC, Volkskrant, FD). Would be interesting to know what is going on here. Are people interested in right-wing media less inclined to pay for content, are they less in a position to pay for content, or are the traditional right-wing news papers being replaced by other media (if so, which ones?).

At any rate, I stand by my point, which is: there have traditionally been large right-wing media in The Netherlands, but their audience seems to be leaving them. I also agree that there was a void for some time in public broadcasting, which is filled by some contenders, like PowNed and WNL. However, these broadcasting associations do not seem to do well, because they have very few members (25,000 and 50,000 respectively). Even a broadcaster like HUMAN, of which I have absolutely no clue what their profile is, has more members (68,000).
I never fail to find it odd that, in an industry once notorious for people with introversion and and lack of social aptitude, vigorous participation in social media has now become all but compulsory. The mundanes really have taken over.
Sometimes you don't want to blindly trust dhcp. My isp is set up so that the internet-facing host gets an IP through dhcp. I don't want to use the ISP's dns however.

I use OpenBSD on that machine. I think it was "ignore domain-name-servers" in dhclient.conf that fixed that for me.

That’s true. 20 ug is still quite a low dose though. People taking LSD for recreational purposes will generally take somewhere from 100-500 ug. A “hit” is generally 100-200 ug.

I don’t think their research allows us to infer anything about BDNF response at these levels, which is what I (possibly mistakenly) assumed you were asking about.
I guess that just hasn't been my experience at all. I don't think a nested C++ template is any more complicated than a CL macro with a corresponding level of nested `.

I also don't really see how requiring understanding of a language to generate that language could be considered a bug - every macro system carries that requirement. C++ just happens to be (much) more complex than most languages (and I do agree that a large amount of that complexity is probably not necessary).

The West is in many ways equally as guilty but the stakes have changed dramatically. Russia and China are armed to the teeth. Turkey hosts some of the US nuclear weapons as well.

The West gets textiles from turkey and China, electronics from China (and many other natural resources), natural resources from UAE and Russia. And Israel has been viewed as a ‘stable’ partner in an unstable area.

I would agree that the annexations / subjugations have not been legal or good. And in some ways could be equated to what the Nazis began to do. But again, the stakes have changed. One bad decision could totally wreck the world as we know it. It would make the Second World War look small. I believe the West desperately wants to avoid that.

Plus, the US does not have a great (albeit recent) track record with helping out in regards to annexation / subjugation. See Vietnam war and Korean War and War on Terror and Bay of Pigs etc

This sounds very states rightsy. But people in Iowa really do care about the cosmopolitan elite in DC and New York. Their entertainment on Fox News (broadcast from NYC) and Laura Ingraham (broadcast from DC) is very much about the cosmopolitan elite in DC and New York and very little about their local infrastructure and institutions. Electing Trump was about sticking it to libs and not, decidedly not, about governing.
I see you didn't bother to read past the first few words; but I'll be charitable and explain why this is _reducto ad absurdum_.

First, we're talking about capitalism as a economic system which has only been in place for ~200 years. I think you'd be hard pressed to find any capitalist which would give credit to capitalism before the birth of capitalism. If your critique is based on the fact that capitalism is a successful economic system and better than what came before it, I fail to see where I suggest the opposite view. To suggest it's the _best_ possible system is rather more difficult.

Second, wealth has no definition without some form of economic system. Is wealth the free time that someone has, the trinkets or baubles that someone owns or their lifespan? By all accounts capitalism has done wonders for the second and third measures of wealth (arguments that technology and scientific progress which capitalism doesn't tend to fund notwithstanding). The first I'm unsure about; census data only shows since the 1970's and of course we have the massive bump due to a doubling of the demographic who are working.

I submit that Dunbar's Number[1] is a real thing, and that it informs the cognitive limitations of the human mind that inform nation-states.

Lua defines functions with the `function` keywords, and as most other C-style languages uses parenthesis to wrap the function parameters, not brackets.

It does use `{}` for table literals but requires the `=` and `,` separators, where fennel (and clojure) uses no internal separator at all: a map literal is a pair of braces around a plist (https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Pr....

Historically, lisp have used something around "define" to define functions (e.g. define, defun), parenthesis as essentially the only grouping, and would use macros or special-forms rather than complex literals.

Clojure is the first lisp I know of (so I may well have missed a predecessor which inspired it) which largely diverged from that.

[0] clojure allows commas but ignores them entirely, I don't know whether fennel allows them as well

Trending towards authoritarianism? It seems like the article is reasonably accurate about an under-reported aspect of the protests. Namely the intimidation tactics against reporters by “protesters.”

And it’s written by a reporter that lived in Portland.

Edit: since I can’t respond below - I’m questioning the accuracy cause it seems like people are quick to label things “authoritarian/fascist” when they don’t really resemble that at all. Having watched Nancy Rommelman in interviews, podcasts, etc. I get the sense she’s not that at all. Generally very libertarian, i.e. advocating strong protection of individual rights against violence, etc. That’s how libertarians arrive at criticism of police/rioters. They’re both violating fundamental protections of individuals from violence.
It's also possible they skipped over trying to work out what they want to say, or more likely and worse, they know what they want to say but they skipped over the work of collecting good data that supports what they are trying to say.
Qualcomm’s Founder on Why the US Doesn’t Have Its Own Huawei
The best predictor for future behavior is past behavior: China is testing the waters, in some cases in a quite literal sense (South China Sea), and you're correct that how the world reacts to Hong Kong and the Xinjiang "re-education camps" will be seen as a vital piece of information in the future when deciding on how to proceed with other "problematic" regions: for example Taiwan, which in the case where strong-arming the island into obedience, most probably would require military intervention. Before you claim that this is unlikely or extreme, remember that thanks to the PRC, almost no countries in the world even recognize Taiwan as a country -- so how are you supposed to question the "invasion"?

These actions can all be traced back to China's increased tendency towards authoritarianism, for example the elimination of the term limit for Xi Jinping in 2018,[1] which stands in contrast to China's economic liberalization in the early 1990s.[2] It's important to understand that this liberalization is more or less the sole reason China is the "young superpower" we see today (just look up the GDP numbers from 1990 onwards), so the question is how a reversal of this attitude will serve future Chinese interests. Although unconfirmed, there are claims that Xi's grip on power may be decreasing somewhat, and that there is "widespread opposition" from within the party, but for obvious reasons few are willing to speak out.[3]

Nobody in their right mind is arguing for a land based invasion of China, so this argument is completely moving the goal posts. It's not either-or, there are many ways to pressure a nation without military intervention.

It's not ironic, because the United States is not claiming the area as territorial waters belonging to the U.S.

China is clearly the "aggressor" in this situation because they are building military installations in an area that was previously not a militarized zone.

"I highly suspect that the government used them to destroy any sympathy towards the protests."

There have been documented cases of police infiltrating protest groups and encouraging violence, and probably many more that happened but have remained secret (because that's not really what the police ever want to talk about).

This history of provocateurs is mostly unknown to the general public, and certainly underappreciated.

Another factor is that pretty much anyone can dress in black and claim to be antifa (or whomever), or just commit violence without any political affiliation or purpose. Yet it's this anonymous non-organization that will get blamed regardless.

Very few of the people pointing fingers will bother to (or even have the capacity to) look beneath the surface to figure out who the violent ones really are. Much simpler to just slap a label on them and take it at face value.

That is a very curious proposition, even though it only focuses on marriage age. I imagine it may have been true at some point (1965 when Hajnal looked at it), but countries of the former Yugoslavia have been having a net decline in the population since at least the 80s. I rarely meet anyone from those years (I was born in 1983) who has more than one sibling in Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Macedonia or Bosnia (haven't met many people from Slovenia, but they are probably even worse off). And many of my primary/high school friends are an only child too.

I attribute that to widely available "free" University education (women were equally represented in student populations, if not at 50%, at 45% for sure, though "citation missing") soon after the World War 2, housing availability, etc.

So the Hajnal line is trivial to disprove by just looking at numbers for a single country East of the line like Serbia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Serbia

Knowing some internal details like the fact that Kosovo probably had highest fertility in Serbia until it split off, the situation in 70s probably mirrored the one from countries West of the line.

The pattern Hajnal notices more likely corresponds to migration into cities (move from agriculture to industrialization and now services) and wider availability of education and employment to everyone, but in particular women (which happened in Communist Yugoslavia) and rising standards of living, rather than historical cultural traits as he claims in his paper (though I found only an abstract).

With more effort and closer look, I am sure that all of this could have been disputed even in 60s when the paper was published.

And interestingly, more recent data suggests that West of the line now has a higher fertility than the East in Europe.

1. Forget Finder, it is just bad for any power user scenario, and IMO worst part of Mac OS. Use Forklift or other similar app for all GUI file management operations.
2. Never drag and drop (this applies to any OS). Early release can cause all kinds of issues.
3. Make sure that you have fast access to Activity Monitor, since some GUI applications do not show any reasonable progress indicators when they start long lasting compilation/export operations.

Many of the SKS sold were military surplus from the various source countries and were usually covered in heavy preservative grease. The grease got into ever nook and cranny (as it was supposed to,) and could prevent the firing pin from moving freely. If you didn't disassemble and clean the bolt and make sure the firing pin could move freely a slam-fire would be possible if the firing pin was stuck sticking out of the bolt face.
The other way to cause a slam-fire is if the hammer catch is worn so the hammer isn't caught and held. What happens then is the hammer follows the bolt as the bolt returns to battery and if a new round was chambered the hammer, pressing on the back of the firing pin and forcing the pin to stick out from the bolt face can cause the round to fire. Either way it's bad because both problems can cause the round to fire before the bolt is completely in battery (fully forward with the lugs or locking mechanism engaged and the round fully supported by the chamber.) That can lead to the rear of the cartridge rupturing and venting burning propellant, usually into the magazine.

You misintepreted what I wrote. My comment did not restrict it to only technical flaws. I already agree with your following statement:

>How a technology is used, and what it enables (good or bad) is an appropriate topic for this forum and constitutes elevated discussion.

Yes. Having us share some armchair anthropology (which I do myself[1]) on the social or secondary effects of technology is constructive dialogue and elevated discussion. My comment was never trying to cut that off.

That said, just rehashing "Google is just trying to own the web!" or slight variations of that meme may feel good for the poster to type out but it does not educate me on this topic. This is especially degrading to the discussion if the poster restating that common sentiment has a mistaken mental model of what Web Bundles actually do or can't do. Instead, share some quality facts so I as a reader can come to the conclusion on my own that this technology forces unblockable ads and lets Google take over my web experience.
