My learned view is that most Australians don’t dis-trust the government, they just think it’s a bunch of morons gather around to do a fairly shit job at leading the country.
"The rise of neoliberalism in the 1980s (under Reagan in the US; Thatcher in the UK; Mulroney in Canada; etc) and the disinvestment that followed made the stagnation in living standards--and increasing socioeconomic insecurity--for the median person inevitable."

If you meant to say the total opposite of that, then maybe!

Inequality may be up, but material standards of living for everyone but the poorest are way, way up, and it's a little ridiculous because it's obvious and palpable for anyone who was alive at the time.

By almost conceivable material measure: the amount of travel, safety, life choices, entertainment, access to healthcare (we used to go in when we were sick, now we go in due to age related issues) - 'Heart Surgery' used to be a very scary thing, now it's literally 'outpatient' basis (my aunt got a 'heart stunt' home same day - this is like Science Fiction). Cars are faster, better safer, we have access to all the world's information (to know what 'Russia' was in the 1980's you had to go down to a library and check out a book to read about it).

Tthe notion you can go in this magical thing called a 'mobile phone' and have any number of super cheap gadgets delivered to you from literally all the way around the world - China - for just a few dollars, was unthinkable.

Walmart is the most benevolent thing imaginable for poor people: they can buy every material need under the sun for very little, something impossible before.

I have family members with 'regular government jobs' - not part of the elite, they live in a giant new home, new cars, every toy under the sun for their kids.

When I was young got fruit and candy in my stocking at Christmas, everyone I knew wore 'hand-me-downs', nobody took foreign vacations (we drive to Florida and stayed in motels), people did not have fancy sporting gear, 'long distance' calls on the telephone were very expensive.

Material prosperity has exploded, and it really strains credibility for people trying to argue otherwise.

Ownership and capital has not been spread evenly - the financial surpluses of globalisation has gone into the pockets of the 1%, but the productive surpluses have mostly gone into the pockets of the 85%. The 'losers' of the economy of those who lost their jobs due to globalisation and can't afford to participate in the game.
Profit motivated fear mongering from news organizations is nothing new.
For example, in the late 19th century, American newspapers instigated a pointless war with Spain.
We've been waiting 90+ days for one of our clients to pay their invoices once we switched from CC to PO + ACH through Stripe.

I'm about to just see if we can charge the card for the full three months so we can manually flag the invoices as paid. Terms are net 18 usually.

The PO process is awful. We have to fill out forms as a vendor, submit tax information. It's completely unneeded.

If your company requires POs for SaaS you need to take a step out of the 20th century.
> Progressives are widely known for their enthusiastic use of forcing people into public apologies for perceived crimes against the faith or for not acquiescing to unreasonable demands

"widely known"

You're interpreting your ideological position as normative and factual.
The parties switched since then, so that point is moot. The Democratic party back then, which is the deep south for the most part, is the modern day Republican party. The deep south overwhelmingly voted against the Civil Right Act.
> > there's a guy who doesn't want to lose funding for his department who might have more power than his rivals

> Not entirely different from divisions within a large corporation who vie for funding and/or power over their peers. (And the managers of such divisions.)

Sure. It's just that we can get rid of large corporations if they blunder enough (see, for example, Kodak). When it's the government, and they restrict elections to one party, you're a lot more stuck.
2020 is far, far worse than 1992 was.

1992 didn't have former White House officials calling for current officials to be beheaded for disloyalty.

Unlike the ACA under Obama, the Republican response to Clinton's dead-on-arrival healthcare plan didn't involve establishment GOP figures calling for 'a second amendment solution.'

The current wave of senior GOP figures disputing the legitimacy of the election -- to the point of looking for ways for pro-Biden states with Republican state governments to dismiss the results and send pro-Trump electors to the electoral college -- is also unprecedented in modern history.

America is in dangerous territory and it is much worse than it was in the 1990s.
> Among those, the ones who own up and apologized are excluded from many positions of power, while those that deny it are included.

That depends on the level of power the said adult has accumulated. We've witnessed people who were persecuted for most minor transgressions, and people who were forgiven for very major things (e.g. credible rape accusations, being an officer in the KKK, being a member of a terrorist organization, being in prison for murder while being a member of a terrorist organization, etc. etc.). That, of course, needs very powerful position and very powerful friends - which none of us likely has.

There is a critical bit of regex in between. In short this technique unpacks two ASCII characters from each unicode point of the input string. Any ASCII safe code can be packed with this dweet: https://www.dwitter.net/d/11852

The escape function [0] converts unicode values > 0xFF into the string format '%uxxxx`, additionally it will produce two sequences if the unicode point is high enough to require two UTF-16 surrogate pairs. e.g escape() ing the first character '𩡯' results in '%uD866%uDC6F'. The regex throws away the 'uD8' parts of each sequence as we aren't exploiting the full capacity of the unicode space, just the lower 255 values of each surrogate pair. which results in '%66%6F'. Finally this is unescaped which converts these into the separate ASCII chars that were originally packed with dweet 11852 (don't ask me how it packs it I haven't looked yet.)

In all this means it's possible to fit 194 evaluable ASCII chars into a dweet (taking into consideration overhead of the unpacking code). There are also more esoteric methods of fitting more characters or data using unicode that are not generally evaluable, e.g image data. All of these techniques are using more than 140 bytes, but dwitter has a character limit not byte limit. But nothing is free, you must fit any decoders into the same dweet so there is always a balance.

Probably for the best. Right now Uber is NOT among the leaders in self-driving. So it would be better for them to buy or lease vehicles from those leaders than wait some additional years for their own project to be successful.
Crime increased partly because we massively expanded both the definition of crime and the powers necessary to find and prosecute it. There is a role for the breakdown of community in this, of course, but, surprise, that was a product of institutionalized racism and bigotry also.

Scholarship at the time attributed it to a spontaneous breakdown of the (black) family, without mentioning how the botched implementation of integration, the moral and structural blight of "urban renewal," the canary song of the exodus of middle class manufacturing jobs, and the ever-present threat of a government crackdown on your efforts to be self-sufficient contributed to an atmosphere of hopelessness (which apparently only matters to politicians and public servants when you're hopped up on Vicodin in your double-wide) in which organized crime, and the unorganized crime that generally follows, becomes a valid option.

Black America didn't happen in a vacuum.
That would be awesome, like GhidraHub or something

I'm not well versed in the legality of publishing those databases, as some discussions I've heard elsewhere treat them the same as the object code they annotate and thus it would be like publishing the .exe from Photoshop. I would guess it's possible to separate the annotations from the object code, similar to the way subtitle files are shared for the movies, but similar to a wrong subtitle file, it would take some doing to discover it and more doing to try and rescue the annotations if they could apply to a slightly different but still applicable binary

The handful of dogs I knew that broke 18+ years were mutts on garbage kibble like Ol' Roy. And these were medium-sized dogs (30-50lbs), not Chihuahuas.

Anyone I know who can afford to feed their dogs raw also generally get purebred or "designer breed" dogs, and they've all lead shorter lives with more diseases (cancers, autoimmune disorders, bone problems, etc).

My anecdotal experience leads me to believe that breeding practices are a bigger part of the problem, but these are quite small sample sizes.
"common purchasing card limits/tiers"

Strongly agree with you although what "common" means here is tricky.

I imagine "common" in Local Government is different from tech giants ... and geography brings another whole dimension into it.

Less of a problem if your product is strongly focused on one country and one industry.

"Provide a plan that adds several zeros"

I think this is ideal but I've noticed that this isn't generally how it's done. The third tier of pricing is generally "Talk to us" and the first part of "Talk to us" is the supplier working out how much they can get and so requires the sort of sales management skills which many tech startups don't have.

In passing there's a lot of sense about pricing in https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2004/12/15/camels-and-rubber-...
I strongly recommend checking out 010 Editor [1].

It's very powerful, lets you display in multiple different formats (not just 1/2/4/8 bytes, but interlaced formats and byte-arrays) and has the most amazing templating / scripting engine I've seen for this type of tool.

The only caveat is that it isn't free, but if this is something you do for a living (as I do) it's an indispensable tool for exploring file formats and other binary data sources.

Hi all - author here. I created Pulltherope as a replacement for Gestimer on Windows.

I'm skeptical about part of that story, seeing as Esper literally earned the nickname "Yesper" for being a floor-mat to the president's wishes. But I also think the likelihood of a coup is way overblown. After Esper was pushed out, the other three people resigned; they weren't fired.

People said the same thing about a coup when he was first elected, when characters like Steve Bannon were in the White House whispering in his ear. At peak Trumpism across the country, before his approval rating started going down, that probably would have been a better time to do such a thing if it were going to happen. And yet... it just didn't. Lots of callous and shortsighted and regressive policy-making ensued, to be sure, but nothing like a coup.

> Fair enough, but that doesn't really have any connection with what you were trying to say about Western critical thinking.

Western critical thinking seem to be hell-bent on thinking that some grand totalitarian regime cannot be just "dumb evil," and it must always come with some kind of equally grand conspiracy, secret agenda, maybe even some semi-valid point, as they probably think "it must take some brains, complex motive, and talent to run you evil empire at such scale."

It's beyond them to concede that their grand political theories are not the case, and the man is driven just by your regular arrogance, greed, and cowardice, aka lust for power, even if his ways of achieving those may be quite sophisticated at the time.
Usually in a containerization environment all the requirements are installed at the same time, which may or may not make that kind of introspection difficult.

Yeah, sure, everyone needs food. We know that. But how many olives should they produce?

Or are you going to just feed everyone the food that you've decided that they should eat? If they want olives, they're just going to have to make do with cucumbers instead?

Do you see why actual human beings might have a problem with that?
Of course, there are many confounding factors - I'm not hinting otherwise.

What I am pointing out - is the near total social decay that broke out in many areas, and the otherwise obvious malaise introduced in many places throughout America that for some reason, people want to totally ignore over when it suits their agenda.

There's a generational divide between people who actually remember what Manhattan was like before it was 'cleaned up' (by hook or by crook, even that is controversial).

> Actually...

> Laws of physics are very important to software engineering.

there are practical concerns abound, especially if you're going to focused as you have on on industrialized software production.

but to me the defining nature of computing & the digital is that it is very near to unlimited, that it is about how we think, what abstractions we create, out of vast vast vast potential & endless capabilities.

yes there are some limits. but growing up, I wanted to build boats & houses & submarines & planes. much of the attraction of digital technology was a near into complete freedom from physical constraint. the 486 I had was a machine with infinite potential, something I could put myself into endlessly, ever becoming more, ever imagineering further frontiers to build & advance into, & everyone else could do the same, & we might still never cross paths. computers are an "unmaterial" wonder, something wholly unlike all else.

I implore us to think not just of the limits, laws, but of the endless spaces the mind might be free to travel & explore amid the digital.
The clock speed of ARM chips that have big.LITTLE cores is not very meaningful. The LITTLE cores can run at lower frequencies than the big cores. The Apple A series (and M series I will say with some confidence) support heterogeneous operation so both sets of cores can be active at once. The big cores can also be powered off if there's no high priority/power tasks.

The cores and frequency can scale up and down quickly so there's not a meaningful clock speed measure. The best number you'll get is the maximum frequency and that's still not useful for comparing ARM chips to x86.

Even Intel's chips don't have frequency measures that are all that useful. Some workloads support TurboBoost but only within a certain thermal envelope. Even the max conventional clock for a chip is variable depending on thermals.

I don't think it's worthwhile faulting Apple for not harping on the M series clock speeds since they're a vector instead of a scalar value.

Some companies are larger today than in the 50s, which means that in some ways, we are more collaborative now.

Are we more altruistic? that's different.

Today, there are many easy ways to never meet your neighbors or your community at large. You can go home and turn on your TV, browse the Internet, or whatever. You can also be a part of an online community that is geographically sparse and never meet any of its members in real life.

If you never meet people in real life, how can you assist them if they need something? How can you display an altruistic behavior? Perhaps you may answer some questions for free, or upload a free tutorial to YouTube, but will you be able to do other good deeds that require a physical presence? no.

What is your motivation for being altruistic? In the 50s, organized religion indoctrinated people from a young age to believe that a deity would reward them if they were altruistic. Those beliefs are now in decline. People now have a different utility function in their heads: they don't want to go to heaven, they want to enjoy their lives according to humanist values.

Agree that also in my experience, apologies lead to being perceived as weak. You will also notice that most leaders (think top management) never apologize, let even directly recognize any kind of personal mistake - I don't think it's just for a lack of honesty (although there's some of that too) just rather a technique to never look weak in any circumstance.

I'm surprised I had to scroll this far down to see this. AWS, Google and Azure all have this to varying degrees. If the product you want isn't listed, it's frequently simply a case of asking the vendor - there are some processes in the back end that might have to happen for you to get a quote.
By that logic there is nothing useful you could say to a depressed person, as they won't get out of bed anyway.

I am willing to believe that there are people who won't feel better by going for a run or will be unable to do so, but I think there are probably also people who feel better by simply doing it, even if they don't feel like it.

Especially with depression there also seems to be an ideological battle, were some people absolutely want to believe that it is caused by chemical imbalances and medication is the only thing that can possibly work. (Again, I am willing to believe that such cases exist, but I also think there are people who would rightfully have been classified as depressed who came out of it without medication).
