> How much do you think those people in the corrupt area that everyone is trying to get out of and avoid are going to be able to sell their homes for?

How much did they buy them for in the first place if the place is corrupt and everyone is trying to get out?

If the place became corrupt after all those people moved there, well, whose fault is that? If your answer is "corrupt politicians and corporations who took advantage of the people", well, there's your barrier to free and open competition between localities.

> This "solution" is exactly what created the troubles of inner cities to begin with.

No, what created the troubles of inner cities was completely unrealistic political expectations. People thought that using the government to fix social problems was a wonderful idea. Inner cities today are tragic evidence of how wrong they were.

As long as Trump can withdraw the troops from the countries like Afghanistan, I'd say he's doing his job. By the way, he didn't even attempt to start a war or invade a country for a bag of god-knows-what white powder, did he? And a bunch of generals and officials did want to either start a war or put more troops to a why-give-a-fuck country, right?

There's a fair risk of this turning into new monopolies, but at least it should take a while and hopefully other companies will figure out how to meaningfully compete

I guess the fact that Apple will probably never sell this stuff for non-Apple computers will allow AMD to keep competing on the PC side.

Clearly when Apple come out with a desktop class chip though, it's going to be hard for anyone else to come close.

Somehow that doesn't seem to be a problem for Android though!

You can always build a transition infrastructure on the top of IP, like https did by coexisting with http, and a bit like gemini does (it has https://gemini.circumlunar.space/ at least).

Then build some links without it, and have the compatibility layer the other way. If there are compelling reasons to use the new protocol, it might gain some traction. Maybe we'll turn off IP, but probably not within a century, unless some organization acquires a tremendous amount of control over the Internet.

Short list:

"I pricked my finger" becomes "I *ed my finger" which completely changes the sentiment, and a plot summary of "dumbo" will become unsuitable for children

Interestingly, ho is just censored, but hoe (the garden tool spelling) becomes "sexually active woman"

"I bitched about it" becomes "I female doged about it"

douche is censored so don't even try describing /comment tu te douches/

slut becomes "sexually active young woman" but slag is left uncensored - apparently only Americans bully on the internet

prostitute becomes sex worker, gigolo is unmodified

A "perversion of the rules" becomes a "kink of the rules," and "the one who perverted them" becomes "the one who fetishisted them"

Cuck becomes "not chauvinist" which is a major distortion

Pretty much any nominal variant on fat becomes "voluptuous person" which is, again, a distortion, not just politened but given a new connotation

chav becomes working class youth, so maybe Brits do bully over the internet after all - indeed, twat becomes vulva, but they missed the portmanteau tunt...

homosexual becomes "gay peopleexual"

There are definitely limits to ligature-based censorship

Georgia election official explains how votes were found on memory card
Oh, great! And the prediction market did not beat polls (it tied with them on swing states and beat them on safe states, as I speculated).

I guess between this and the other commenter who made money betting 538's model on predictit, I consider this pretty thoroughly debunked.
> Most 3rd world countries with serious endemic corruption get stuck with it.

They get stuck with it because 1st world countries insist on continuing to send aid even though the corrupt governments take all of it and it never benefits the people. Not to mention 1st world countries giving legitimacy to those corrupt governments in many other ways.

In other words, on a global level, the idea that corruption in 3rd world countries is "a global problem" has made the corruption worse, not better.
Note that predictit gives Biden an 89% chance of winning the electoral college now and Trump 14% (why do the numbers never add up to 100% ?) . The election was two weeks ago. Moreover, I think the author is cherry-picking his data. Nevertheless, I did use predictit during the election as a kind of "nowcast".
This is pretty cool, do you have a list of the subreddits you search?
I agree 100% with the fact that we can do better than DuckDuckGo

A) DDG is already better than Google for some search queries

B) I use Epic Search and that is good, though it just uses Yahoo or Bing results (not sure which)

It should not be Google paying $8 billion a year to Apple and $X a year to Firefox/Mozilla and leveraging Google Search as Default in Chrome

and monopolizing search
It looks like you lose about 30% performance to Rosetta. That's quite a lot, and makes it slower than current x86-64 processors, e.g. Ryzen 5000 series, or even the Ryzen 3000 series. But compared to x86-64 Macs it's not that much slower, because the x86-64 Macs are using old slower Intel CPUs.
while the M1 is impressive, everybody avoid the Elephant in the room which is: they dropped Windows bootcamp support which make it DOA for me. (and no a VM is not a replacement)

Zero media report it but there is a BIG performance issue with the M1:

Compilers and JIT have had decades of optimization both for ARM and x86.
But actually no, code that targeted ARM historically only really was either C, C++, swift, js and Java.

All other mainstream languages such as C#, python, php, ruby, fortran, Perl, R, etc do have (I hope) ARM support but there have been almost zero human resources dedicated to optimizing the ARM codegen, and it will take years for a catch up. Where are such benchmarcks ??
This is a huge fundamental unaddressed topic!
I even expect such languages to run faster on Rosetta than on ARM native, ironically!
>the prediction markets went from heavy Biden favorite to heavy Trump favorite as he won Florida and it looked like he was ahead in a lot of the swing states

I wonder how much of the "polls were wrong" narrative is due two specific issues: Miami-Dade county being surprisingly pro-Trump and the pandemic leading to more mail ballots and slower counting. That helped establish a narrative early on election night which caused that action on the prediction markets. However if you told someone three weeks ago that Biden would win 306 electoral votes and win the popular vote by some 7 million votes, which seems to be where we will end up, would they think there was any sizable systemic failure? I would guess they wouldn't.
The Mozilla bugzilla allows me to logon via Github, but when I logon it tells me that my account is disabled. But then it says to request it be reenabled from the login page... does anyone here know how to get around this issue?
There isn't good evidence of shy Trump voters so far, but I don't think you had dumb luck.

The problem seems to have been that pollsters didn't perfectly weight their results. Democrats were more likely to be at home (due to white collar skew, taking pandemic more seriously, and being in places with more restrictions) and also more likely to respond to polls.

That is, in practice, a "shy Trump voter" problem. It's not that their ashamed of Trump, but rather that they didn't answer polls at the rate they were expected to.

As a writer, I hate apps like this. As a web writer, I love them.

>One of the first things Trump said about SARS-CoV-2 is that it was a 'Democratic' 'hoax.'

No, Trump did not say that. Trump said that Democratic criticism of his administration's response to COVID19 was a hoax, comparing it to the Russian and impeachment "hoaxes".

>How do you focus on educating against that, when any contradiction of Trump will be seen by his followers as a purely political act?

There was also far more scrutiny of the entire process than there ever has been before, at least in recent memory. It’s possible that an inherently less secure but more vigilantly executed process can be better than a more foolproof method where everyone is just going through the motions.

Is that enough to make it the most secure ever? I’m not sure - but I wouldn’t rule it out completely.
Not just browsing (the web) - the idea of an HTML-based application UI can be extended to the text mode instead of getting stuck with the choice between a GUI and a command-line (or a custom curses-based) interface. (Imagine VSCode running in a terminal!)
No, as a developer, there's much tooling that isn't ready yet so I expect it the Intel macs to easily last me a few more years. I also avoid the first iteration of new Apple hardware.
> It certainly is harder to rationalise caring very much about PredictIt when you notice that "Trump NO" (Donald Trump is not elected to be the next President of the United States of America) costs about 85¢ right now, even though he's lost and the resolution will pay $1 for that 85¢ "gamble".

> But again, liquidity. That market is not very liquid, so you likely shouldn't think too much of it.

Exactly. So this "86¢" appears to be totally meaningless now. If I can't buy at that price, then anyone holding it can't sell. There's no action here.
Your comment deserves way more upvotes than just mine.
> Can we stop playing the word game and admit that opium trade is illegal both in China and Britain?

Yes, China/Britain have long since cracked down on opium trade and that has been a joint effort. What of it? The devil is in the details. The "Opium Wars" were about more than drugs and it is reductionist to only look at its impact on the drug trade.

> And use it to prove that domestic merchants can challenge ccp and force the current Chinese government to change behavior is as about nonsensical as claiming Trump did a perfect job in fighting COVID-19...

The desires of Chinese people certainly do impact their government's actions.
You would be surprised as to how many of these people would pity and politely dismiss most of richer and softer types of human that inhabit tech.
You perceive the sidewalk in front of your house as something that is related to you, and you know people in your culture would judge you if the sidewalk is dirty. But this is a cultural concept. You could also have a cultural concept that only things inside your house reflect on you, and the sidewalk is... just a random part of universe. Then there is no reason why you should go and clean up a random part of universe.

You probably don't feel that it is your duty to go and clean up garbage everywhere in your city. At some distance, it's simply not your problem anymore. This is the same, but the distance ends at the threshold of your house.

Any norm makes sense, internally, if you know that this is the norm others will use to judge you. Most people don't go beyond what is required of them.

It can simultaneously be the case that everyone gets mailed a ballot AND it was the most secure election to date.

It's certainly not axiomatic that mail in voting has a higher rate of fraud than any other system.

Washington State is 100% mail in for years, and there's no evidence that things are any more fraudulent here than anywhere else, but it is much easier for people to vote.
Thanks. Is there something behind "tomrorow [sic]" e.g. in the direction of fixing the mistakes of today, or just a typo?
> As long as Trump can withdraw the troops from the countries like Afghanistan, I'd say he's doing his job.

As someone who is extremely dovish and an immigrant, I always grimace a little bit when I see this sentiment. There is a way to leave the country you have chosen to occupy and it's not as simple as saying you will withdraw and then withdrawing all presence in the region. The absurd power vacuum left behind causes massive geopolitical instability in the region that often spills over into neighboring countries which themselves have existing relationships with other parts of the world.

Doing that is exactly how you alienate all allies in some manner as well as disregard the several lives who'll likely perish as a result of the instability. For better or worse, the US got itself into this mess and getting out of war is often much harder than entering it. This is exactly why people advocate for diplomacy over war.
The only issues I've heard about are around Docker/virtualization, which I don't use for any personal projects. Are there other tooling issues?
> And I didn't get the job :-)

Unfortunately for them.
Right, the 5% withdrawal fee only applies when you withdraw, meaning you could still make a profit continuously buying 95%+ markets.

The real reasons I think these often don’t follow what you expect is:

- Lots of people set sell orders at 90-99 since closing times are often uncertain and there are other opportunities that at least appear to be more profitable.
- As you diverge from 50/50, it gets cheaper and cheaper for crazy people to buy up the other side of a bet. This is not always unprofitable too; they just have to sell it to a greater fool. This is with PredictIt’s $850 limit at least.

all commerce, including the interstate kind, has slowed down due to the pandemic response, but that certainly doesn't mean that the interstate commerce clause should be invoked for covid (or in many other cases that it has been employed by the federal gov't). that power should be reserved for things like collusive, coercive, and anti-competitive behavior, its intended purpose.

for epidemiological concerns, the public health services act is the relevant federal legal framework, as @dragonwriter mentioned elsewhere.

however, a national mask mandate is a political ploy unlikely to lower infection rates materially vs. less visible and harder-to-enforce mitigations. it's polarized pangeantry, being pushed to put some points on the political board and coalesce power. anyone who cares about getting past the pandemic should punish such ineffective partisan behavior in favor of real meaningful, targeted, and effective measures--start with focusing on private social gatherings, the primary vector of spread (and completely unrelated to interstate commerce), not meaningless public displays of compliance.
Not every program is connected to internet nor does they run elevated priviledges, or they run anything where people lives would be at stake.

In addition operating systems gives you bunch of safety measures if you design around them. (Obvious being separate processes)

One has to also remember that even if your program would be memory safe it still does not guarantee its flawless nor secure. One very good recent personal experience I can give you is certain popular swift SQL library. It was written in swift which also boasts the "memory safe by default". However, that library due to its design was subject to the very basic SQL injection attacks. Needless to say I ended up writing my own SQL bindings. I hope that library is now fixed or something replaced it, as since at the time I had to write swift (and no I didn't like it), it was the only and most popular (scary) option on github.

I could also write long rant about threads and how the implementations and the threading primitives often have subtle bugs or are broken in different ways. And how using threads in general makes your application basically undefined unless you only absolutely know every piece of code that runs on that thread.
