Awesome! My initial thought was to use this for value-based requirements/story prioritization. There the axes would be business value and effort.

Any chance you'll allow customizing the axes and enable sharing of diagrams? (Maybe all info could be stored as part of the URL?)
I'm not just sharing anecdotes. Trump cut the number of refugees admitted to 18k in 2016, from 110k the year before. The focus is absolutely not just on curbing illegal immigrants, but also on limiting viable legal options.
The virus can't "continue from where it left off" if there's nobody left in the country infected by it.

If it turns out there were a few infections left, or one slipped through quarantine for arriving travellers, the health system has enough capacity to perform testing for anyone with even mild symptoms, and comprehensively contact trace.

This has worked for several countries.

Once I bought a USB cable on Amazon through a seller with a good rating. Surprise, surprise: the cable went bust after a couple of weeks of mild use. I posted a one-star review stating that the cable broke, and called it a day.

After a couple of days, I started being contacted by the seller. He was proposing that if I recanted on my review they would send another free of charge. I guess I had no use for a USB cable that went bust after a couple of weeks, thus I rejected the offer. After a while, the same seller contacted me again offering 20$ to remove my review. That just felt completely dishonest. I rejected the offer and continued with my life. In spite of that I continued to receive the same offer over and over again from multiple user accounts and with what I then noticed was little variations of the same templated response: 20$ to recant the negative review, attached to the same robo-generated copy/paste sob story.

So yeah reviews are unreliable. Not only are there fake reviews but dishonest sellers who use fraud as their business model will do their best to play their victims to do their bidding.
I'm not sure if I'll go with WP specifically, but using problem/title the way free hosting platform expects me to use username is definitely a convenient work around.
Does anyone know if the paths shown for the transatlantic cables are anything like accurate? I would have expected them to follow "great circle" routes since they are the shortest. For example, the shortest path from Long Island to the Bristol Channel goes through Newfoundland and the southern tip of Ireland. There are several cables on the map with those end points but none of them are shown as taking that route. I guess this is poetic license that ignores the distortion of the map projection. Is there a map that shows the routes more accurately?

I really can't relate to the language being hard to learn. I've been using jq for a while now and have only had to look at the docs once when a key contained special characters and dot notation didn't work. I've usually been able to just guess the syntax in a couple of tries, but that might be because I'm just used to using weird notation for manipulating data structures (css, emmet, xpath, various "functional" globs of map/filter/reduce/zip...)
> Ground level facts have regularly led to horrible policy decisions despite being 'correct' according to the science.

Yes but that's because of lack of specificity, isn't it? That is, exactly the science in the lab is what is deployed on a grand scale outside the lab in terms of policy, when the specificities of the real world should have been taken into account.

In any case, with the real-world peculiarities taken into consideration, the underlying science would be the same nonetheless. It would be preposterous to say that just because vaccines and masks work in the lab doesn't mean they won't work in the real world.

> Surely, unlike during WW2, we have enough freedom of movement that you can leave a place where genocide could occur at any moment?

I know you went for hyperbole, but ... refuges are not exactly wanted. Have a look at what life in refuge camps is, the issues and destabilization it brings.

There are genocides and atrocities going on now and last years. And it was not easy or possible for those people to leave. It was even less possible for many of those who left to actually build new lives.

And in any case, by the time of WWII Hitler was firmly in power. The time to prevent his atrocities was years before and atrocities happened because his party was not stopped 1918-1932.
What I don't understand is, Bernie is painted as this rabid socialist, but what are his positions that people don't actually like? He wants single-payer healthcare. So do most Americans.

If not that, then what?

I really enjoyed an episode of Mighty Ships (episode 1:7 -just looked it up) showing just how hard laying cables is. A surprise to me is they carry quite high voltage to power seabed repeaters. It shows them at one point trying to find a short in the massive cable.
Whataboutism isn't going to win any arguments when comparing trump's lies to other politicians. The difference in scale is many orders of magnitude different.
That’s a long winded way of saying he just didn’t want to do it.
Combination of decadence, selfishness, cultism and vindictive politics.

The first two are self explanatory and certainly cross party lines.

Cult of Trump is to merely accept his say so that mask wearing has no efficacy and is merely political correctness. And really believe he knows better than scientists (anyone really).

From many conversations, it's just to piss off liberals. What I call vindictive politics. Literally many conversations, why do you like Trump and agree with him on things like fighting over masks? Schadenfreude. Making liberals scoff and angry makes them happy.

Ok why so much annoyance with liberal? A common example, is gay marriage which many Trump supporters consider completely immoral on religious grounds. It's so heinous to them they use oral rape metaphor to describe it: you liberals jammed gay marriage down our throats. We support Trump because he makes you angry.

I've asked for clarification: this is pay back for things like gay marriage and protecting abortion rights? "You betcha its payback! We don't care what crazy things he does or says. The more it pisses off liberals the better job he's doing." Their words. They have grievances. Trump soothes it by helping them get payback.

He grew his base by 7 million in this election. He gained almost as many votes as Bernie Sanders total vote count in the 2020 primary.

A lot of people think this is about Trump. And it's gone once he's gone. I don't.
Hoping for a return to normal after Trump? That's the last thing we need
"Critical thinking" is not a generic, universally transferable skill. It is highly domain-specific. One can possess "critical thinking skills" when it comes to solving software design problems but be absolutely clueless about public policy.

It might be more accurate to say that Americans need a better standard of education for history and civics.
Assuming that the reason people hold other opinions that differ from yours is because they are bad people, is just lazy thinking.
you are describing reverse-triage, used in critical incidents and military operations where resources are limited and not everybody can be saved, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triage#Reverse_triage
I'm a Republican I'll admit it.

I don't believe in God. I think people should be able to take whatever drugs they want. I think there should be a basic safety net and what we have now isn't doing it.

I believe in evolution. (I don't however believe climate change models are good enough to predict what will happen and I don't think C02 will turn out to be the predicted tragedy. I do agree humans are affecting the climate).

I believe people should be entitled to the fruits of their labor and taxation of labor or capital isn't a good idea (I'm a land and resource tax proponent). I don't think society has an innate claim on the labor or talents of anyone.

I think people should be able to defend themselves and possess deadly weapons. I don't go to church but I think people should be able to worship as they wish. I think churches should be somewhat restricted in what they can claim (for the same reasons I think peddlers of nutritional supplements should be restricted in what they can claim) but this is pretty loose and outright fraud is what I have in mind.

I think racism is stupid. I think slavery and communism are both horrible ideas for society and for the victims. I believe in representative constitutional government. I abhor monarchies, dictatorships, dynasties and anything resembling those.

Am I bad in your opinion? If you think so I feel it's not me that's the problem.

Of course I understand you may not agree with all my positions and that's fine. I don't think you are bad for disagreeing. Unless you are a slavery proponent or advocate of non representative form of dictatorship and then ya, you likely are bad. Otherwise you probably just have a different opinion.
> it's just as important that we start with a foundation of agreed upon facts. In other words, reality isn't a point of view.

I don't think these two things are as strongly related as you suggest. Two reasonable people can look at the same problem with the same facts, make reasonable guesses on what the best course is, and yet reach two completely different, reasonable approaches to the problem. Otherwise, we would have already decided which programming language is the best one.

Some situations are more clear cut than others, and I agree that we need to separate facts from opinion better. But for situations as complex as the present and future of a country there might very well not be a "right" way.

"Reality" is not a point of view, but we only experience it through the lens of our personal experiences. No one experiences "true" reality.

No, they didn't. Remember the CARES act? House Democrats are still trying to work with Trump, and it's still Senate Republicans that are blocking.
In Soviet Union and then Russia there was not enough school capacity. So schools worked in two shifts. Half of my school years I started school at 1pm. Wasn’t that bad, I actually preferred it.

As for “natural sleep cycle” and “improved quality” I can tell you that this is self-made (or rather parent-made) problem in this case. If I take my children’s devices away at 8pm, then they go to bed by themselves after 9, have a good sleep and ready for school.

Ironically, similar thing happens to me, but sadly there is nobody to take away my phone, as time of this comment shows.
Soulseek is also still a thing, or was last time I checked.
Last time I searched papers on catalysts for ammonia synthesis and for hydrolysis, most of the papers were from research labs in China. ResearchGate might be a good place to start.
Yeah, planning is a double edged sword. And I don't believe one tool works for everyone or all needs. Our brains and thought processes are too varied to all fit in opinionated frameworks.

Not a bad place by any means, but employers can't have it both ways. If they want to stay in a location where people aren't likely to move to, that's fine, but then they have to accept that remote is the only way they'll attract people with the skills they need.
I'd say you lobby for preferential voting like we have here as the first step. You write numbers in boxes for your 1st choice, 2nd choice, etc until you're done.

They put all the ballots in piles by everyone's first choice. The smallest pile (e.g. least voted for candidate) then loses, and their ballots get sorted onto their second choices. Repeat until you have a candidate with a clear majority, and you have a winner.

This allows people to say, "I want Rubio, but if not, then Cruz, and if not then Jeb" etc. I suspect if this system were in play in both parties now, we'd have different nominees, and they'd be the candidates that the majority can live with instead of being the candidates that most excite the extremes. And the people on the extremes can see that their candidate lost even with people being able to vote for them without 'wasting' their vote.

Yes, in our senate this gets a bit crazy with tablecloth sized ballots (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Victoria...), and the first time I voted here I allocated every single preference down to about 160 something with pride. You don't have to obviously, but I chose to.
They all use UPI too which means there isn't a vendor lock-in similar to paypal.

Government may also remove wallets (which aren't part of UPI) completely in future through regulation.

> There’s a slate star codex post that describes research demonstrating that conservative Americans can predict the responses of progressive Americans to political questions, but the converse is not true.

All this demonstrates is ideological consistency on the part of Liberals.

> It’s not that conservatives are “unwilling to consider” conflicting ideas; in fact, they do a much better job of modeling conflicting ideas than progressives do!

Citation needed.

> Most of the difference is, I think, not based on factual disagreement, but based on principal disagreements on issues like the personhood of fetuses.

A fetus isn't a person in the eyes of the US government. It never has been. This is an orthogonal issue to how to handle abortion in America. Conservatives believe that those who seek and provide abortion should be punished, but we know that this does not result in fewer abortions. Liberals believe that we should take steps to limit the need to seek the abortion in the first place.
Mother of god. Stop defending her. Even planned parenthood dumped her over her racist views.

I want to see you defend this.

In a letter to Clarence Gable in 1939, Sanger wrote: "We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members" (Margaret Sanger commenting on the 'Negro Project' in a letter to Gamble, Dec. 10, 1939).
Schneier has thousands of citations to his peer-reviewed scientific articles. He has authored a number of books in cryptography, and has thought cryptography in major places. He has been involved in the creation of many cryptographic algorithms. His contributions have been mostly in the area of symmetric crypto, but that doesn’t imply that he doesn’t understands well asymmetric crypto, especially the RSA. He teaches this stuff.

A lot of us don’t have /any/ track record in /both/ symmetric and asymmetric crypto.
uh no. you're talking about pelosi refusing to go below 2.2 trillion. they stopped working weeks before just so that Trump wouldn't pass anything before election day. where have you been?
I would say you’re definitely misunderstanding the right in the US. It has nothing to do with that here. It’s largely the left showing fear and anger, although many seem oblivious to it.

" maybe it’s that my past right-leaning self was a teenager with half-baked ideas about the world, when I reflect on what drove me that way, I cannot point to any coherent, constructive thought, mostly feelings of entitlement and an unwillingness to put myself in the other’s shoes. And that’s what I see in the right-wing of today in the US. "

It seems you had a bad experience with what you felt were 'right wing' ideals but probably had little to do with that, as it would be a pretty intellectually shallow description of any kind of Conservatism (although understandable if one were to equate 'Trump' with 'Conservative' and I don't think many people would in the intellectual sense) and also oddly experientially 'upside down'.

Most 'young people' are progressive, people tend to get more conservative as they get older.

Cynically, one could say it's due to age and myopia, but more likely it has to do with responsibility, perspective, maturity and frankly living through decades and seeing how the world adapts.

Believing in the institutions of family (and monogamy as a commitment to that institution), the objective rule of law, moral obligation through duty of various kinds of community service, prudence, faith as an integral part of worldview, a sense of community that can possibly be expressed through nationalism, the notion that people must act responsibly to the extent they are able and assume responsibility for their actions - these are not ideals of 'entitlement' frankly.

Barack Obama, for example, is a 'Progressive Conservative', and he is in many ways in his own personal life a model 'cultural conservative': religious, church going, mild mannered, straight forward marriage, traditional formal education. He speaks formally and graciously, and is literally a living embodiment of many cultural historical artefacts. He didn't serve in the military but he very well could have, it's totally within his character.

He's not at all that far away from Mitt Romney for example.

Donald Trump is not a 'Conservative' or even 'right wing' really, he's just a jerk who found a 'following' in appealing to the worst qualities of 'bad right wing tropes'.

"In 1999, Trump described himself as "very pro-choice" and said "I believe in choice." (Wikipedia)

Donald Trump was a tough-guy New York 'kind of Democrat' most of his life. He always supported gay marriage. The Clintons were literally at his wedding to Melania.

He's a serial scammer, effectively a polygamist who marries woman purely on the basis of their attractiveness and then dumps them later, cavorts with prostitutes, lies, cheats, steals.

He changes his political views to suit the day, because they don't matter to him - he's just about being rich and popular.

He's managed to convince a lot of people that he is something that he is not, and that's sad, and it's brought out the worst in so many people, and that's what we are seeing today.

Have a look at this Charlie Rose interview with Senator Jeff Flake who's a much more traditional conservative, and FYI detests Donald Trump and 'fell on his sword' rather than go along with the toxicity. [1]
