Maybe I am missing the point. When the problem is speed and the solutions seems single page app with bloated javascript or the thing the poster suggest.

Why isn't the solution just simple classical HTML without any bloated Javascript, which also needs to be executed. The CSS is cached, so it doesn't need to be reloaded and the next possible pages are prefetched via the correct META tags.
This is seriously nifty but you really don’t need SPAs or client-side request interception for page loads to feel “instant”. All you need is server-side rendering without a zillion third-party scripts. Clicking around Hacker News provides case in point.

It works two ways though, which I think is important. Yes, type systems check the shape of your data which is nice.

However, when sufficiently experienced, the type system also guides the developer into good program design. Type systems for me are more a design tool than shape checker.

The checker/inferencer helps me learn about assumptions I make about data in specific parts of my code, which allows me to remodel my data types to better fit my intent. This works cyclic until things just seem to ‘fit’.

Personally at least, this allows me to write far more complicated applications than I would ever be able to do without types. And it’s just very hard for me to imagine this wouldn’t be the case for any other developer.
Protected speech is the set of things you can do and say that are covered under freedom of speech from a philosophical standpoint. It is the set of things protected by 1a legally in the us (roughly, 1a also includes some non-speech rights). It is the set of things that you should not forbid as a legislature, and the set of things that courts will not enforce laws against even if you try to forbid them anyways.

All those are slightly different definitions, but I wasn't being precise enough in my previous comment that the differences are important.
Its not true. At least in mobile app they use something called ssl pinning to serve ads.
What’s the benefit of unions? Because from the outside looking at Teachers unions in America I see that only hurts education and benefits Teachers. It doesn’t help make education better. So it seems like unions protect the employee but damage everything else.

(Serious question I’m super curious why tech unions are a good thing cos I have 0 idea)

I think those are definitely some key advantages to SPAs, but my impression when they started becoming adopted, especially to the consumers (users) was one seamless thing with no new pages etc.. certainly development is more manageable with client only state, but I don't see that as the first big sell.
One thing I don't understand is how the EU public will afford this. I drive a Plugin Hybrid, but since moving from my old place and living in an apartment, I have no where to charge it. The closest charging station is around 12km from me and has 2 plugs (it is in an Aldi). After that there is another on 4-5 km after also with 2 plugs and one is mostly out of service.

I am all for lower emission vehicles, but most people in my country live in apartments, a lot of them without garages even. What will people do? (I end up charging my car at my parents when I need, but even so it is a PITA as I have to leave it there for a few hours and then walk back home for 10-15 minutes)
Electric vehicles cause much more CO2 emissions during production as compared to cars with internal combustion engines due to complicated manufacturing process of the battery.

If you’re comparing CO2 emissions, you have to consider the full lifecycle.
> On a more general note, anytime a problem admits a dynamic programming solution, there almost always is a graph based approach.

From the text: "The exceptions here or elsewhere in the Constitution, made in favor of particular rights, shall not be so construed as to diminish the just importance of other rights retained by the people, or as to enlarge the powers delegated by the Constitution; but either as actual limitations of such powers, or as inserted merely for greater caution."

Put the emphasis on the word "buy" instead, because they were describing a situation where you don't need to buy.

There are also free dynamic dns providers that let you set txt records and get certificates. But of course you can't depend on one of those to last forever.
> it all started with the desire to eliminate blank screens in between pages and reduce payload sizes

That isn't even a thing anymore, except in SPA's or Internet Explorer; Chrome (seems to?) wait until some content is loaded before it switches to the clicked page, there is no blank screen.

Payload sizes is not really a problem either given that content is not that much data. Images and media take up the brunt of bandwidth; the payload size is not the issue.
Do you know when are those reductions to 75/50g set to go into effect? I've been hoping to move to electric vehicles for a while now but unfortunately the infrastructure is lacking, it's simply not practical to do so. I'm hopeful though that with these changes there will be more investment in electric recharging infrastructure.
Another anecdote.

Colleague last name: O'Donnell. You can already see where this is going.

Possibly, the relatively new Polestar marque has published it's transparency report about lifetime emissions, and references 'Global' and 'European' power mixes along with 100% wind in it's sums about after how many miles it will have produced less CO2 overall (inc. production emissions) vs. a ICE equivalent. Polestar's figures for the 2 are (vs the XC40 on the same underlying platform):

Global power mix: 112,000 km (69,594 miles)
European power mix: 78,000 km (48,467 miles)
Wind power: 50,000 km (31,068 miles)

The electrical emissions data comes from GaBi, but I can't see reference to the specific mixes they mention in the GaBi professional database, so I don't know what the exact breakdown of the mixes are.
About 96%-99% of Norway's power come from hydro.

During the last gen consoles, Sony folks have said on camera how they were quietly cheering when MS announced a price point way above what the PS4 was targeted at.

Maybe Sony expected MS to aim higher again, and this time it was MS who undercut.
Yeah, I did the same with https://james.darpinian.com/decoder/. It's an underused technique for sure. It's enraging when I have to repeatedly wait multiple seconds to load a bloated results page containing 10 additional rows from a database query (e.g. paginated product listings) when I could have easily downloaded the complete query results or even the entire database in less time.
This is a fairly uncharitable description of the exploit.

Carbon emissions and units of currency are not fungible.

So unless some of that tax is intended to be a carbon tax and works to incentive cleaner alternatives, then this is a pretty weak argument.

Also, the producers aren't paying he cost, end users are[1] and without much in the way of alternatives.

Standard audiometry, usually, only produces a test that goes up to 8 kHz (functional speech recognition). An extended high frequency audiometry may, or may not be more revealing as it can go higher. It would have no bearing on your medical treatment though.
Better = higher barrier to entry?
They did collude. It was done in secret because it was illegal. It was fixed by the government, no unions required. Nor could one have helped. A union would not have fixed that unless it had developed some mechanism to discover the conspiracy via other means than the ones the government used.

In fact to claim a union could have avoided this situation is backwards: unions create cross-firm wage fixing agreements as part of their core policy goals.

The facts are that white collar employees that are union members have higher pay[2]

Averaged across all industries, yes: because they engage in industry-wide wage fixing. That's great if you can't command a high rate yourself, sucks if you can as you're chopped down to their level.

But we're not talking about all industries, we're talking about the tech industry. And if you compare the tech industry vs other industries, there are no unions (except this one) and there are high wages.

The worst part about learning languages is that you don't want to miss out. The second worst part is that some languages are very difficult while others are very easy. The third worst part is that I am isolated from those who speak the new language. The fourth worst part is that the older you get the less time you have left both per day and in absolute terms. I don't think it is difficult to learn a third language. It's taking years but what many people miss is that a 10 year old child has worse conversational skills than an adult who has been learning and speaking a foreign language for 10 years.
Off topic: Nuclear power isn't renewable energy. If we keep it up and cannot find methods to extract it more efficiently, the current rate of consumption would consume conventional uranium reserves by 2080. Some say we can add 100 years for potentially undiscovered ones, but it is certainly limited. Especially if we increase usage further, currently NP just serves around 12% of energy worldwide.

I know that NP is hip right now, but it really has its own problems at scale.

I had a 2008 Mazda 3, and that car was amazing. Cheap and absolutely a blast to drive, particularly if you shifted gears yourself.

I'm sure that many reading this comment will scoff. However, that car was living proof of one of my favorite truisms when it comes to driving cars in everyday traffic:

"It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow."

That Mazda was not powerful by any means, but it rode low and handled like a sports car. Fun to toss around.

For me, SPA is either chosen due to "fancy factor" or because the app is too complex to easily implement as a traditional (SSR) web page. That could be a complex search+filter with autocomplete, or a social network-like UI with infinite scroll and dynamic widgets.
> Everyone should use the language of their choice.

We live in a fruitful age for programming. There are many viable languages. Some have notation that is more difficult, perhaps, but humans are good at notation and there is no such thing as "easy" programming.

That said, any language that offers portability and stability that can be measured in _decades_ has a distinct advantage.
Then I think the issue is simple. Any speech made illegal by law isn't protected unless the supreme court rules that case to be different, IIRC you americans have precedence rules for that sort of stuff.

Protected speech is any legal speech that additionally enjoys protection from the constitution, while unprotected speech would be legal speech that is not otherwise protected. And then you have illegal stuff that is outlawed.

Courts to my knowledge, even in american, don't consider the constitution at the lower levels, just local legislation, ie any legal speech is equivalent regardless of protected status.

Specific protection status would be regulated by precedent in higher courts which do have the capacity to interprete the constitution.
> I'm not sure that it is that common

Anecdotal evidence to the contrary: I'm in the UK and have known a few people from parts of Africa over the years, they've all had made up simple short names because they tired of people but being able to deal with their real names (either not being able to pronounce it, or making a big thing if it sounding strange). And it wasn't just a short nick-name based on their name that they use generally: their friends from the region would call them something different. Likewise a polish fellow in one of my current circles does the same (though I don't know any of his wider social network so don't know if this simpler name is used more generally).

It may be a regional thing (partly because some languages use sounds like "clicks" that we don't, so have difficulty replicating): I've encountered numerous people from the middle & far East and they haven't done this.
IIRC that did at one point exist, but then firefox redid their extension system.
I can't help but feel the CO2 released by any manufacturing process is either:

a) Due to the factory power source which will probably (hopefully) be renewable soon

b) Due to some processing step where carbon capture should be a lot easier to perform than the direct air capture necessary to capture car emissions.

So the method of emissions needs to be considered as well.
Where's the personal attack?

As for your latter statement, I never said anything like that. You're putting a whole lot of words in my mouth. As far as I could tell, that was the stance taken by the person I responded to.

As for income equality, I'm seeing that, in the US, Asians reported the highest median household income in 2019 at more than double the median black household income. If you really want to talk about value, it seems that the money is indicating plenty of value across the board.

I think his point was that the damage moves from "everywhere" to certain places like factories and mines.
Than you can add better filters/cleanup to the factories and mines.

It's a simpler problem to tackle if you have a few thousands polluting agents than billions of polluting agents everywhere.

I think you should somehow scale that by country size. For example, there are about 5½ million Norwegians. I think that, in production per capita, only smaller countries such as Kuwait and Qatar score higher.

Having said that, because of the law of large numbers, in any ranking scaled by size, the outliers typically are the smaller entities.

It sounds like you stopped reading all those sources as soon as you got a definition you liked and didn't bother scrolling to get a complete picture of the term.

From Collins[1]

>any program or practice of racial discrimination, segregation, etc., specif., such a program or practice that upholds the political or economic domination of one race over another or others

From Merriam-Webster[2]:

>the systemic oppression of a racial group to the social, economic, and political advantage of another

From Wikipedia[3]

>Institutional racism (also known as structural racism, state racism or systemic racism) is racial discrimination by governments, corporations, religions, or educational institutions or other large organizations with the power to influence the lives of many individuals. Stokely Carmichael is credited for coining the phrase institutional racism in the late 1960s. He defined the term as "the collective failure of an organization to provide an appropriate and professional service to people because of their colour, culture or ethnic origin".

Racism isn't purely about the belief that one race is superior to another. A system that oppresses one race in favor of another is racist. This example meets the definitions of all three sources.

It worked out great! If by "working out" you mean cementing the rule of left wing extremists.

Remember that Kickstarter didn't unionise over wages or worker rights. They unionised because Kickstarter management removed a funding project that was violating their terms of use, by being filled with hatred towards and calls to violence against conservatives. The Kickstarter workers are so Marxist that they actually unionised the workplace in order to force it to re-instate the funding for this project, against the will of management.

The article goes into all this in detail. Kickstarter is exhibit A in the case against unions in tech. They aren't gonna be used to give everyone a pay rise and more vacation. They will be used to try and cement the rule of radical extremists over management, they will force you to join them and fund them via union fees, and then they will use those fees to engage in anti-worker jeremiads against the white and asian men that make up most of the workforce.
