Sweden has taken in way more immigrants than our systems can swallow, this means the system as a whole is leaking.
This has lead to lots of segregated areas where there is no future, just people living on welfare getting nowhere in life, as much as 60% of kids fail to even finish High School in these areas, even thou they get 3x-4x of the funding compared to other schools in "good areas". And you get NOWHERE in Sweden without education.

The vast majority of the immigrants is also men which has skewed the male/female ratio in certain age groups.

The violence we see now is mainly from second-generation immigrants because they have no real connection with their home country and they have no real connection with Sweden either since they have grown up in areas where there are no Swedes.

These aimless young men + a system that have failed them + a fast growing gangster culture that promises money and respect + no real consequences for young criminals (4years max for murder, rape is a couple of months maybe if anything at all) leads to a very fast growing criminal networks / gangs.

The gangs now also have an endless supply of young men willing to do whatever it takes since we a constantly taking in more people even thou the system is showing no signs of being better at integration people.

I wanna be very clear thou, this is not due to race/skin-color or other racist bullshit, it is simply input vs output, ANY system in the known universe that gets overburden crashes or starts behaving in unfavourable ways and that is where we are now.

That’s more a last 30 years or so phenomenon. Before that most major cities had at least 2 primary newspapers (often split on party lines). Most large cities had many more than that.

No comparison. Obama's abdication of treaty responsibilities not only cost the Philippines the Scarborough Shoals to the CCP, but triggered an arms build-up throughout the region. I wouldn't be surprised if Japan goes nuclear within 2 years.
It’s clear that data cleaning, like modelling, is not immune to automation. As a result, it’s likely that data scientists will find themselves leaning more and more into their subject matter expertise, communication and engineering skills in the future, rather than spending their time on dealing with missing values, hyperparameter optimization or model selection.

Thanks for posting authoritative sources!

IMHO it's unfortunate when the kneejerk reaction to "governments / leaders do thing X" is "but did they think about obvious edge case Y!?"

Yes, they thought about obvious edge case Y; they employ / engage with loads of policy and domain experts for whom thinking about obvious edge case Y is table stakes, especially if Y is something one can think up off the cuff in a comment on HN. Perhaps not all of that thinking makes its way into final policies, whether for practical or political reasons. Perhaps much of that thinking - especially where nuance, expertise, or uncertainty are concerned - gets dropped from layperson reporting on the policy. Almost always, you can find publicly-available documents, transcripts, etc. that exhaustively list these details - all the arguments, all the community consultations, all the policy whitepapers.

These all exist, and unlike in modern academic publishing, you can almost always find and read them for free! That said, I do agree that we as a society need to put much more effort into accurate communication around expert fields. Specialization, and the resulting glut of information written for and consumed by specialized audiences, is one of many forces that make it harder to build a shared, agreed-upon sense of reality. What might it look like to solve this problem in the 21st century?
What's wrong with that? I have seen it often in books and other places.
600K subs is pretty impressive. Enough to start edging him into the minor celebrity status. Most people struggle to make it into the 100s for subs. Fewer even than that make it into the 1000s. Reaching 100000s is a serious milestone.

> Under the laws, authorities could hack, secretly takeover, and add, copy, and delete material on computers and digital accounts anywhere in the world without the account-holder’s knowledge or consent.

Notice the "and add". Because law enforcement agencies would never frame someone innocent, right?

---

> Two years ago, the government, with the support of Labor, rushed through the ‘anti-encryption’ Telecommunications and Other Legislation Amendment (Assistance and Access) Act 2018, which forces telco and tech companies to hand over data to law enforcement authorities upon request.

> The laws were justified as necessary to prevent terrorism, but were subsequently used to raid the ABC and the home of News Corp journalist Annika Smethurst following reporting on alleged Australian war crimes in Afghanistan.
Staying within the law is pretty easy. The fine is for people who want to play the game of "where exactly is the line?"
I mean, yeah, they said it right in the press release:

> Brave Today is supported by two new commercial offerings: Brave Offers and Promoted Content.

They also said:

> A premium ad-free version of Brave Today will be available soon.

IMHO this is a pretty decent balance. Companies have to capture value from their work somehow. Brave's advertising strategy involves software on the local device using data on the local device to make a decision about what to show the user. (Not an ever expanding privacy invasive cloud-profile of the user).

Additionally, if ads are not your thing, you can always pay for the premium version and everyone still wins!
Better than "Sorry the game is not available for your platform."

Linux does have a stable ABI. The kernel ABI is stable. The glibc ABI is stable. The OpenGL ABI is stable. The Xlib ABI is stable.

What you can't do is link with a random libpng or whatever that you found on your system and then expect that to work for others. But that's the same on Windows.
Every Google search/purchase through Firefox that can be attributed back to FF funds Mozilla. No different really.
As much as people like to pretend otherwise, the mainstream media is still has reputation to maintain and a history of credibility or lack of credibility.

These are features alternate media outlets don't have concern for. They aren't driven by a subscription model based on whether or not they're generally accurate; they're based on an advertising model utterly detached from the nature of their content.
I got the warning with Firefox too. First time I've seen that... great.

Sovereignty is important because it is the right of the people to elect their government, its laws, etc. This is a representation of a territory and it implies that the territory would be respected. Accordingly, sovereignty is a power, rather than a right.
Hmm, OK, that's two big questions and goes to the core of what benefit we provide, what we do and our values.

We've put answers to some of these issues and notably these questions :

What data do you collect?
What happens if a certain government authority comes knocking, demanding all logs for a certain time period and IP range?
Have you ever received any requests for information from any authority?

here: https://blog.mojeek.com/2020/12/frequently-asked-questions-a...

We are exploring working with commercial partners who want data to deliver services (shopping, ads). We will only pass along search queries and location.

We will never provide IP; even though we know some partners pressure for it, or even insist on it.
Cheap is relative. Right now their M1 devices are objectively the cheapest practical ARM64 workstation products on the market. I don't see why they shouldn't be able to maintain that lead for a while as costs come down for ARM64 workstations in general. And I think it is reasonable to expect that ARM64 platforms will eventually be cheaper than x86 ones.

Well, because ruining your credit and spending years to pay off a huge pile of debt is pretty "not great".

Being independently wealthy or being able to take a high-paying job (FAANG+) would be a good fallback. Seems more founders these days have those.
I do not get all the hatred. The idea behind COBOL’s syntax is the same as SQL’s: it is merely yet another “Structured English Query/Programming Language” designed, initially, for non-programmers to be able to describe in words what it is they would like to accomplish in a way they could be understood by the computer.

I like this idea, which pops up here and there occasionally, but this particular "criticality score" appears to measure popularity, rather than criticality. For one, it doesn't take into account whether there are common alternatives to a given project/package. Of course data like that is hard to gather automatically and from GitHub, but possibly that's just not a great source, and/or could be combined with others -- such as operating systems' repositories, which would contain information not just about alternatives, but also about packages required to run a minimal system, and to build it.
It takes a few minutes to inject a config into a build and re-sign it, plus it’s easily parallel. This is not impractical. Annoying, yes.

Package formats are mostly irrelevant for Steam. The only thing that is packaged is a tiny bootstrap script with the proper dependencies to make sure you have stuff like 32-bit system libraries installed. You don't even need to use that.

Wow, someone has submitted Cypress.io here - probably because we just crossed 25k stars on GitHub.

We at Cypress do read these comments, and we definitely understand both the positive and negative opinions. If you have never tried Cypress yourself - take a look at the first test page https://on.cypress.io/writing-your-first-test

Try it yourself, you might like the syntax and the developer experience. And if not - no worries, there are TestCafe, Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium, Webdriver that might work better for you.
They're also enormously wealthy and can swallow up however much of the top end of consumer markets they want. I'm not sure how you could ignore their presence anywhere but the bottom of the market.

Yeah the difficult thing about industrialization is that the cat’s out of the bag in 2 ways.

1) we recognize the positive impacts that industrialization brings, directly and indirectly. Directly raising GDP has an indirect, positive net effect on quality of life (not spiritually or philosophically, though, I might argue; although, I only think of these things because I live in an industrialized, developed, “rich” nation).

2) we recognize the horrible impact that industrialization has on our world.

The industrialized nations are the ones leading the charge in saying, “hey, wait a minute, industrialization is bad! It’s wrecking our world and we will die a horrible death as a species if we continue at this rate so slow down!” But those nations who are just hitting their stride, so to speak, aren’t gonna stop. That’s totally unfair. They think, “what the fuck am I supposed to do? Just sit here and play with sticks? I want the money, I want the goods, I want to be a rich, developed nation.” And so they keep burning, and will keep burning, unless (IMO) the already rich and developed nations somehow help them to develop in the cleanest way possible.

Do you think that the majority of adults and children in the United States right now are highly valuing education, and pushing their politicians harder than corporate interests, to improve our education such that critical thinking is a top priority going forward?

Is that the value system that is being streamed into each citizen's eyeballs at this moment?

I honestly think that audio quality is consistently poor on Apple stuff and they try to patch over it with EQ boosts and marketing.

AirPods are better than EarPods, but they're still in $25 earphone range.

AirPods Pro are nice, but you can get wired IEMs for <$100 that sound just as good. In that price range you can get Pinnacle P1 ($200) or ER4XR ($250) which dump all over them. I use AirPods Pro daily, not for quality, but for convenience.

HomePod is probably the biggest disappointment I've ever heard. $300 and it sounds like a plastic box, despite "computational audio".

At $550, you're solidly in headphone big leagues. Beyer DT770 or DT990 are close to perfect and they're <$200. Beyond that point you're hitting diminishing returns in audio quality; double price is going to get tiny marginal improvements in quality.

I'm eager to hear them but I can't imagine them outperforming DT990s, despite costing twice as much.

(Yes, none of these options have bluetooth or ANC. Get an ES100 for BT. If noise is a problem, get IEMs or AirPods Pro.)

The context in which we are speaking is whether proton is a suitable replacement. It cannot be ignored in this context.

The point is that people pretend everything works perfectly, when it doesn’t. On some games literally moving your mouse out of bounds can crash the game. In other situations there is performance problems that go much deeper than average framerate. None of this is mentioned and it gives users a false impression and is ultimately misleading (I've had gamers ask me if they can ditch Windows for Ubuntu and they had no experience with Linux before).
Chances are the less you know the more likely it has to have a far reach. It’s a bad security move to provide details before % X is patched.

Yes, more features make a better language. I need those features to abstract my software so I can wrap my mind around all 15 million lines of code I have to deal with (that is both too many for one human to understand, and yet I know many will respond that they work on much larger system!).

We don't need new languages without features: it has already been proven that you only need exactly one feature in your programming language to write any program possible. Look up single instruction languages for proof that it is possible and such single features languages exist.

What we need are languages with many features that are easy to use to create complex programs that are still easy to understand.

C++ is a very powerful language, but the various features do not fit together well and so even experts tend not to know how to use everything and so the whole suffers. Most languages since then have attempted to take the [all or some subset of] the features of C++ to make a better language. (when any other language comes up with a good feature C++ copies it so is often getting credit for ideas that actually come from elsewhere - possibly better)

When someone is saying they want less features they mean one of the following: "I don't know how to use some feature and I've gotten this far so it must be useless". "That feature is useless for my domain so I don't want to pay the compromises required to allow it". "That feature is too often abused to write bad code and so it isn't worth having". "That features is neat but it makes the whole language ugly and so it isn't worth having". There is probably something I missed but you get the idea. Some of the above are logical fallacies, the others are compromises that apply to a particular problem. None of them are universal truths for problems.
Having someone colour-blind involved in the design at least guarantees that it's accessible to them.

No, if users didn't like anything they see on Facebook, they'd log off. Facebook optimizes to make money and they can't make money if people leave, so they try to avoid that scenario.

But that doesn't mean all content is something people want to see, because Facebook can't make money either if users only consume content that doesn't make Facebook money, so they try to avoid that scenario.

The profit-maximizing strategy is to show users a mixture of content they like (to keep them around) and money-making content, preferably all jumbled together so people can't easily tell the difference. (The same calculation is behind Google deemphasizing the difference between paid search ads and actual results.)

In my case was because if I tried to give space to older people, I would go nuts, having ADHD and possibly (I never tried to get diagnosed since there is no treatment) Asperger's, I just don't notice old people there... So I go, see a spot, sit, and after a while note the stares and so on.

I had to learn to ignore the stares, because whenever I was worried about being a gentleman and whatnot I ended going into crazy thinking spirals on my head, ruminating non-stop if I was offending someone or not, or not noticing someone, I would instead scare people, looking like some sort of paranoid person on the bus.
