It's not a real guideline, they were making a joke. But it's true that Apple risks alienating their iOS user base there if they try to ban WeChat now.
Okay, call "abolish the police" a long-term goal instead of an immediate policy. It (and its shorter term policies like "abolish half the police by defunding them") are still very divisive among the electorate.
This is so important. Symbols matter and these words carry too much symbolic baggage.

I did, the same way you would do with a REST API. you specify a format for a field (in my case, the 'where' and 'join' where JSON structures that you passed as parameters)

Then you write the resolvers that parse that. Pretty much as I would expect you to do it in REST.

(mentioned it in another post, I created a no-code tool that did this, for random data and entities created by the user per tenant/app, so I know the issues with GQL, but I can assure you, doing the same with REST was 10 times harder (api started as REST and moved to GQL after 6 months)
Not yet he hasn't but don't count your chickens.
Seems obvious that was a joke
Not sure if that's relevant - but were you aware that you can pass GraphQL inputs as plain JSON in variables?

In the vast majority of cases, you don't need to build mutation inputs (or anything else, really) in GraphQL syntax. Python requests library should be more than enough if GraphQL is being used the right way.
I'm curious about how much do we actually know about was picked for sacrifice under the aztec rule. It seems like there is a consensus on this thread that all were innocent common citizens, but a lot of documentation shows that at least a sizeable portion of sacrifices were prisoners of war.

This doesnt make it morally more excusable, but it tempers your point as not everyone was a potential target of sacrifice.
WeChat didn't start like that. Now they have the network effects to stay because Apple doesn't want to risk the backlash of the China market.
If you're young and healthy and have fast reaction times drive a large safe vehicle you might think the marginally increased chance of injury because of a crash is not worth delaying your journey by driving at a limited speed or obeying stop lights. but now everybody's driving fast and on the wrong side of the road and zooming through red lights and nobody gets anywhere faster safely because you have to slow down at every intersection and check if a car is coming. Lock down isn't delaying people's lives it's ensuring there's a society for those lives to continue in.
I guess almost nobody wants to 'remove democracy' even in the least democratic places.

A more plausible explanation here would be indifference. Maybe they don't want to remove democracy, but not exactly trying to uphold it over everything else either.

Maybe seeing your cult of personality hero in office, or your religion or your flavour of boogieman (=not losing the country to commies kind of thinking) has ultimately higher priority than keeping the democracy alive.

I'm not saying that's what is happening, I'm just saying I can see how masses can smother democracy without specifically having the intention to kill it.

Or you could just support people instead.

>As someone who uses a smartphone mostly for browsing the web and who hates installing another app, I just can't see the big innovation here.

Well, as someone who mostly likes raw meat from animals I kill, I also don't see the big innovation with this "cooking" thing.

But I hear it's popular with many....

>Apple took the business model of game consoles and brought it to smartphones.

They also added the multi-touch all-screen UI that everybody else copied immediately, gestures, various sensors and capabilities, native apps, proper web browsing (and not the crappy "mobile" experience of smartphones of yore), and several other things besides. Plus things like the ability to listen your voice messages in your order, or send text messages without the SMS/MMS toll via the same app you use for regular text messaging.

And the first iPhone didn't even had third party apps. People demanded for it to get an app store...

Also true when the iPhone appeared: most people didn't have any kind of smartphone, and the apps they could run were at best Java mobile crap. There were smartphones but they were not as popular, and not as user friendly (I had a few, e.g. Sony ones, there were Nokia etc. Nothing compared to the iPhone or the "modern style" smartphone. And most people had a regular phone or -if they did business- a BB). After the iPhone everybody wanted to get into the smartphone thing...
> Select all ballots that were the voter did not vote in the last X elections

I don’t think there’s anything inherently suspicious about voting for the first time in a long time (or ever). This election was incredibly charged, so you would expect to see more people voting than usual.

I just want to push back strongly on the idea that a vote is suspicious just because that voter doesn’t typically vote. It’s a soft form of voter suppression, in a way - and we should be conscious to encourage everyone to vote, regardless of how long it’s been.

—

As an anecdote - I encouraged my family to vote, and some of them did: some of them for the first time in a very long time. I also served as an election judge and registered more than one person to vote on Election Day, including one person who told me they’d never bothered to vote before. But their votes were valid, and don’t deserve to be treated as suspicious.

The Steele dossier was opposition research and turned out to be largely baseless. And we know that with some certainty because there was a huge investigation in to it.

The Biden laptop "scandal" is probably also opposition research and probably also baseless. The response to it is rather contrasting though.

I'm tired of this false statement being peddled.

The FBI, CIA, and republican-led Senate Committee on Intelligence have all produced extensive volumes of documentation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

If you're referring specifically to accusations of collusion between Trump and Russia, the core accusation was that he and his administration were playing the role of the useful idiot, being plied and influenced by Russia to the detriment of American interests.

The idea that he was intentionally working with Russia in a direct manner may has always been a misleading straw man.
The problem this blog post describes, I've been working on for a few years - it's really not a hard problem per se, it's just a lot of meticulous work.

I think that's in general the case - most problems in life are problems of you know what you ought to do, but is it what you want to do?

Do you want to spend 5 years to try and solve a problem, with no promise of financial, social or personal reward? Do you want to save up for another 5 to give the next 5 a try? Do you want to spend 10 years on a goal that's no guarantee and that most other people will tell you is a bad idea vs working at FAANG?

For most people, they are solving for securing a predictable career so that they can have a family and live their lives. What better way to secure your spot, if not by becoming or joining/enabling a monopoly in your little sphere of life? Why is FAANG a term? Because people want to join monopolies/potential monopolies to secure a predictable family future :)

That's why software doesn't talk to one another for the most part - if it isn't enabling someone's potential monopoly - it isn't worth doing given most people's life goals.

I don't think that's ever going to change unless we establish basic income creative people can raise a family on and I don't see why most people who aren't creative, would be in favor of such an arrangement, so we're stuck with what we've got :)

This absolutely goes both ways; that is the biggest problem.
Formate can also be used directly for biomass generation, meaning you can feed it to a vat of cells instead of glucose or sunlight. If you’re willing to eat cells, kinda solves a lot of food generation issues.
Social engineering seems to be a fragile idea because humans are amazing at optimizing in favor of their own interests. Taxes as a form of revenue seem to work better than taxes as a force for manipulation.

That's actually a really good analogy. We don't say "drive at 5 km/h to save lives", just like we shouldn't say "only be at home, work or in the store to save lives". There's a middle ground, which in addition is consistent with freedom (don't wanna die? don't drive, don't party during a pandemic)
Company A and Company B pay their CEOs the same thing. Company A has 1000 employees and pays an average salary of $50k/yr. Company B has 500 employees and pays an average salary of $100k/yr. Company A is taxed, but Company B is not. Is that fair?

Mutt, plus a notmuch backend, has excellent search capabilities. Operators meet or exceed what Gmail offers both in terms of speed and features.

Neomutt probably has better integration. I've never tried because I switched to the Emacs Notmuch MUA package.

I find the integration of Emacs packages much better than ncurses CLIs which, unlike non-interactive Unix applications, tend to compose badly. They are little silos.

Mutt has an excellent UI design, though. Once learnt, it's really fast to use.
Arrow keys, escape, are controlled via a modifier key.

Idiocy. If they want to tax high-income people, set an income tax. Why does an arbitrary subset of other people's income matter?

This pairs hilariously with Prop 22 making all Uber's low wage employees non-employees.
Correct and it appears that even though Trump lost, Trumpism allowed most Republican Senators to keep their seats and they even won more seats in the House, and didn’t lose a single Statehouse.

This election has been a repudiation of Trump but not Trumpism.
disclaimer: I'm not American, but I'm from the UK which has similar issues on a smaller scale.

The thing is, as a leftist I used to be able to have conversations with conservatives. We had different values, but a largely shared understanding of reality. That gave a common basis for contrast and discussion.

Now, that's gone. My biased perception is that the worst of it started on the right: a ways back Fox started creating a bubble of alternative reality, and that's been hugely amplified with the arrival of social media. I started struggling to communicate in meaningful ways. More recently I've found myself fact checking my own community more often than I used to - I wonder if Trump has sent leftists crazy in the same way that Obama did the right ;-).
Supposing you got interested because of the speed it claims, comparisons on the site shouldn't be taken at face value. Fixing any errors* and for N=2 (2K prints), the times for some of the languages (running ten times and taking the average) are:

C 0.24s (gcc 9.3.0, gcc $file)
C++ 0.96s (gcc 9.3.0, g++ $file)
Go 0.12s (go 1.15.2, go build $file)
Nim 0.44s (nim 1.2.6, nim c $file)
V 1.37s (v 0.1.29, v $file)
Zig 16.9s (zig 0.6.0, zig build-exe $file)

I guess Zig does some optimizations but not sure how to turn them off. Someone should do an analytical comparison for all of them and different values of N.

*The generated V test doesn't work with the latest version as `;` between expressions throws a bad token error and zig requires `a` to be `.{a}`.
And this is relevant here how?

I mostly stopped using streaming services because I could not figure out what to see. The crap to gold ratio was too high so eventually I stopped picking something to watch without knowing anything about it. And then I stopped all together. A linear channel could help. I could keep it on and hope for something good to come like I do with TV.
hypothetically, at a certain point you pay an employee (the costs) should be equal to their value they bring to the company (the benefits)

in the usual economic sense, you keep paying until it hits the exact costs, you don't pay too much and you don't pay too little.

Now lets think of a two kind of counter factual worlds and think of which is worse for the firm.

1. CEO disappears from the company, that marginal benefit is lost and the costs disappear.

2. Where a "Low Level" employee disappears.

I don't know the answer for which one is worse for the firm, but World 2 sort of actually happened when Corona started. "low level" employees with very little costs started to disappear and it turns out the value of these employees was much more than their costs - as shown by how badly the economy tanked from these people not being able to work. That is, it seems the value these employees bring is quite high compared to their costs... yet for some reason they are paid much less. And from just a general economic sense, that seems not okay to pay too little.

This.

There are in fact many parties in the USA. But unfortunately the USA is still using an early alpha release voting system that was invented in the 1700s before voting theory had been even understood.

The result of a majority win voting system is that it only legitimizes 2 parties in practice. This worked 'ok' so long as the 2 parties acted in good faith.

However the last 20-30 years the Republican party got twisted into a movement to undermine government, enrich themselves, and narrowly focus on a couple of right-wing Christian interests to distract a populist base. They've maintained their relevance by turning Fox news and other right-wing owned outlets into effectually state-run propaganda machines. Leaving only the Democrats trying to govern with the Republicans trying to undermine and obstruct that very government.

The only way out of the USA's problems is to have a modern preference voting method, or in the long term the country may be doom to fail.

Actually that study just shows that people have not heard about the term Qanon. I actually believe that left leaning voters are more familiar with the term. I suspect it hardly gets mentioned on fox news for example. The more interesting thing would have been to ask about some of the theories from Qanon and to scale them likely to unlikely similar to the other questions.

The second difference between Qanon and some of the previous conspiracy theories (on both sides) is that we have several republicans quite openly supporting some of those theories, and even the president retweeting qanon theories. That's why people are saying it seems to becoming mainstream.
I agree that there is an issue with housing being so inaccessible to labor. In my city, even with a six figure salary, it's hard to buy something alone. You increasingly need two six figure plus salaries to make it work. IMO, part of the problem is that everyone views housing as an investment. People trade real estate like trading cards. We forget that homes have a more fundamental purpose (to house people).

If you can't afford a home, as a way to get your foot in the door, you can buy ETFs on the stock market. You can also buy REITs as a way to invest in real estate. There are even diversified REIT ETFs. It's like being a landlord, you get paid dividends, but you don't have to lift a finger. If someone has some money on the side but can't yet afford property, this is a relatively safe way to get into investing and the real estate market IMO.

The unfortunate difference though is that mortgage rates are subsidized by the government, interest rates are kept artificially low. If you get a mortgage to buy a property, it's effectively leveraged investing. You pay a small downpayment (as low as 10% nowadays) and you're basically investing with someone else's money. You can't do that with REITs. Nobody will lend you 10X your downpayment at 2% interest to buy ETFs. If you can't afford to own property, you are denied this leveraged investing opportunity.

Personally, as a condo owner, I would be OK with condo prices not going up. As prices increases, so do my taxes. I can just invest in the stock market. I don't need my home to be an investment, I just need it to be a comfortable place to live.
> Trump's only concern about Covid was

This is fake news. Trump was one of the first Western leaders that reacted to COVID, closing the borders to China back in February. He was relentlessly mocked as a result, accused of being racist.

I very much hope that this experiment has a positive outcome.

I don't pretend to know what the best way to handle this issue is, but it certainly seems to me that increasing incarceration has not had a desirable outcome for American society. After all, in many cases it's possible to procure heroin or methamphetamine in jail or prison. So the carceral system could in theory be seen as simply moving people around without addressing the issue of drug use, using public funds.
I'm not talking about the political actors, I'm talking about the electorate. To some degree, the politicians will do what resonates. The difference is that for most of our history you pretty much had to be a gentleman to even consider the senate or presidency. (I mean that classically, not in the misogynistic sense.) It was probably Bill Clinton and then Trump that have demonstrated that the masses will gladly elect a non-gentleman and Trump has really leaned in to the lowest common denominator politics. That combined with self-selecting media. It's potent. You basically can distill the different tribal voices down to a vote for socialism or a vote for racism and it's sad to say but it worked pretty damn well and we had one of the biggest turnouts ever.

Right, but given how infrequently elections occur, how do you receive the feedback loop to iterate on your models? The reason why statisticians and ML folk like to get huge datasets is that it helps them refine their models. Elections occur every 4 years and often reflect very different political circumstances from previous races. Perhaps if we had continuous polling, then pollsters and models could become more accurate, but as it stands now, most of these models are based on historical data.

> The 1964 Brazilian coup d'état (Portuguese: Golpe de estado no Brasil em 1964 or, more colloquially, golpe de 64) was a series of events in Brazil from March 31 to April 1 that led to the overthrow of President João Goulart by members of the Brazilian Armed Forces, supported by the United States government.The coup put an end to the government of Goulart (also known as 'Jango'), a member of the Brazilian Labour Party [...] although a moderate nationalist, Goulart was accused of being a communist by right-wing militants, he was unable to take office [...] The coup brought to Brazil a military regime politically aligned to the interests of the United States government. This regime lasted until 1985, when Neves was indirectly elected the first civilian president of Brazil since the 1960 elections.
