Saying that doctors and waiters are both 'working class' may satisfy some ideological preference of yours, but it will reliably confound understanding and any improvement that could be downstream of that understanding.

This is a gross oversimplification.

In 1920 it took 3 man hours to produce 1 ton of steel in the US. Today 1 man hour produces 300 tons in the US. Similar efficiency improvements have been seen across a wide range of manufacturing sectors. US manufacturing productivity has continued to grow along the same trend it was on throughout the 20th century, though wages sharply stagnated in the early 70s and employment started declining in the 90s. The US trade deficit was reasonably stable except for a sharp decline from 1997 to 2006. Exports as a percentage of GDP for the US have nearly tripled since 1970, in constant 2010 dollars they've 10X'ed in that period. Manufactured goods as a percentage of exports peaked in 1999, and in 2017 were the same as in 1963. Manufacturing value added adjusted for inflation plateaued in 2007.

The world didn't simply stop buying american after they recovered from WW2, if anything they bought more. The global economy has evolved over the past 70 years, just as it had prior, but this does not on its own explain the plight of the American working class.

> Pandemic - It's been a while since the highly developed world experienced a devastating outbreak, but it may be premature to flat out dismiss the risk. In 1918, an unusual strain of flu managed to kill 75 million people. Few years later, a mysterious sleeping sickness - probably also of viral origin - swept the globe, crippling millions, some for life. We aren't necessarily better prepared for similar events today.
Pretty easy if you're willing to smuggle drugs across the border, though. You'll get away with a trip to South or East Asia and returning with a stockpile.
You're absolutely right. Generics especially in form of contracts would be a mess.

> Now, I'm going to shoot myself in the foot with an example of all of the above, including the push back, which you, the audience will provide.

Stating upfront that responses from the audience are considered 'push back' rather than genuine responses seems like an odd choice for someone extolling the virtues of a "true marketplace of ideas".

Perhaps it could even be considered trying to preemptively label responses as 'opinion as "misinformation"'.

> Ethnically (genetically) we're more closer...

My point wasn't about which slavic groups poland is more closer to. The point is that poland is a slavic nation and hence far more closer to other slavic nations than to italy/rome/etc.

> If we talking about cultural inspirations, we are much more influenced by ancient Rome and Greece, classical literature and arts than to other Slavic nations.

All slavic nations are more influenced by ancient rome and greece than each other because the slavic nations didn't contribute much to literature/arts until fairly recently. Russian leaders didn't call themselves tsars ( russianized caesar ) for no reason. And it's not an accident that cryllic alphabet looks awfully like the greek alphabet.

Your point is true of all northern europe really as northern europe didn't produce any meaningful culture until the past few hundred years. Prior to that, northern europe had to rely on roman/greek arts because northern europe was lacking in culture/art.

Sure poland is more influenced by rome/greece than by russia or ukraine. But that's the same for russia/ukraine. They are more "inspired" by rome/greece than poland. Doesn't change the fact that they are all slavic nations though.

I live in Northern California for the past 25 years (that's a quarter of a century). In that entire time, I have not seen a single earthquake that required me to be prepared for (I still do have an emergency kit and we're all prepared). In fact earthquakes of similar sizes happen all over the US.

Instead, the following things have far more direct impact on me and my family: driving in traffic, walking on the street, electronics fires in my garage, the food I eat, the amount of exercise I get. I'm sure there will be a Big One at some point in the next 30 years, but in terms of risk, the basic prepping procedures handle a wider range of common problems than earthquakes.
I live in North Dakota, and call it winter preparation. Given the possibility of storms and power outages, anything less than seven days of prep is ill advised. I used to do three days, but that went out the window a couple of winters ago.
Of course its possible. It's just a slightly higher bar to meet, which filters out a lot of people who might enjoy prepping for hobbyist reasons.

Why this attempt to reduce people to their skin colours and to imply that non-white people are not Western? Also, what about East Asians, then?

Frankly this obsession with race and the anti-Western trope is offensive and, in fact, racist and the attempt to pass off patent systems as racist is plain bullshit.
The whole world didn't really shut down but there were (and are) signs that significant disruptions can occur. The grocery shortages were one sign but also think about the people who work at utilities and are responsible for keeping power/water going.

Those companies typically have done some serious preparation such as segregating workers into different shifts or even having them live on site but the pandemic reminded (some) people that our modern living standards are held up by millions of people working for utilities, farms, waste disposal companies, etc. If a significant number of those people are unable to work you do need to be prepared to survive without power, running water, and fresh produce for a good amount of time. Typically middle/upper class Americans haven't had to contend with that fact but the pandemic has made it more clear that they won't always be able to just pop down to the store for whatever they need at a whim.

Honestly waste disposal is one of the more frightening ones. I shudder at the thought of my area if the waste disposal companies stopped for any length of time. Those people who are willing to work in that job should be treated as heroes and paid much better than those of us who sit in front of computers typing relatively useless code all day.

There's very little wrong with prepping guns. The details are sensitive and debatable, but a "well-regulated Militia" is in the Constitution. The fear of guns that "responsible people" increasingly have means that irresponsible people are becoming a larger share of gun owners. A "prep" that has guns and separately locked ammo in a locked safe is a responsible prep.
async/await has underpinnings in monadic computation expressions (via F#/Haskell). There are some benefits to the model, despite a lot of its detractors in the thread here. Such as it is possible to work with multiple monads (many languages that support async/await are not strict about which monad they rewrite for; C# supports any Monad that has a GetAwaiter() method of the right shape, JS supports any object with a then() and/or catch() of the right shape, etc).

While async/await is nowhere structurally as capable/composable as for instance Haskell's do notation, it's still more composable than a lot of alternatives and a lot of manual thread management techniques.

The biggest thing though is that these concerns are orthogonal. You can have green threads backing an async/await monad (with some caveats), but you can't as easily swap in anything that follows monad rules into code written specifically just for green threads. (Python makes you explicitly define your threading model before using async/await; the others provide methods to configure it.)

Which is to say "late birth" isn't really a consideration in async/await, it's as much a consideration of flexibility/composition of abstractions. JS, for example, needed that flexibility/composition in the wild west of multiple disparate Promise implementations early on, and may need it again if/when Browsers ever decide to support proper multi-threading whether it is green threads or something else. In such a future you should still be able to compose existing async/await code without modifying it, even as you take advantage of newer threading options.
It is greatly reduced when you stop buying things and returning them so they need to refurbish it.

If you try to fetch values and there is no connection nor ached values, the client won't be able to hit Config.ly's servers. I think it's a good idea to implement Config.ly with graceful degradation if you are concerned about this case (e.g. "configly.get(key) || "default_value"); though it should only happen in this specific use case.

If you lose internet while using it, the values could be cached and it will work well.

We have a graceful degradation feature on the roadmap; something like hard-coding fallback values in case of offline issues like this. Something like:

configly.init(API_KEY, {
default_values: {
price: '$1,000,000',
upgrades: ['AC', 'Hot rod red'],
}
)

Soon and soon. Problem is that macOS/ARM64 has a new ABI [1], and nobody has implemented that in GCC. A couple of people are working on it apparently on their own time, but it's a fairly significant undertaking. Might be ready for GCC 11 which if history is a guide should be released in spring 2021. Or then it might not be ready.

It is also an extremely weird organisation to suggest this sort of thing. They're definitely not an organisation looking for fairness in the world, I've only ever heard of central banks implement policies for the general benefit or taxation, and then only with great reluctance, usually after their hand got forced.

On the other hand they have a huge real estate portfolio (and mortgage portfolio) that I'm sure is now no longer looking like such a smart investment. So they're looking for them and their customers to be the recipients of these grants, no doubt.

> If you had a maraige cerremony, and started calling yourselvs married without doing the paperwork, would anyone actually care?

If you are lucky enough to live in one of the few remaining places in the world where common-law marriage is still allowed, you can do precisely this. You essentially cohabitate for some amount of time (in my jurisdiction there is actually no set minimum time though I imagine the longer you live together the more legal water it holds) and then just tell people in public that you are married. No paperwork necessary.

I managed to make it four years under such an agreement with my partner doing things such as buying a house, relocating internationally, sharing taxes, finances and medical insurance, without actually needing paperwork. Relocating internationally was the trickiest, but after explanation to the new country of the law they were willing to accept the document that showed we bought a house together as evidence of our marriage.

Eventually this year we finally had to get some paperwork, forced to by, believe it or not, government bureaucrats who would absolutely not allow me to be placed under my partner’s medical insurance (government employee) without marriage documents. Fortunately our jurisdiction allows you to get a piece of paper that just says something like “We decided we were married on this date and the county affirms it”. The paper is stamped by the county and filed like typical marriage paperwork, takes about 5 minutes and does not require a judge.

Overall if someone wants the benefits of marriage without all of the pomp and circumstance and happens to be lucky enough to live in one of the jurisdictions where common law marriage is allowed, I can recommend it.
Within the past 9 months I've seen stores with almost bare shelves, no meat, no dairy, no paper goods. Entire neighborhoods near me have burned down due to forest fire. There were riots and looting within a couple miles. Power outages. Now we are looking at a hateful leftist government that could do things like implement communist price controls or unrestricted immigration. Price controls will create further shortages as that is basic economics. Job loss will mean no income for extended periods of ime.

The people who don't prep are also anti-gun and have always lived in the city. They live in a bubble. They need a concept of how vast the country is and that there are people that live an hour or more from food, gas, EMS, police. If you live in a rural area people WILL try to raid your barn, garage, vehicles, trailers, etc. It is a matter of time.
