>>>>> Is there not any wisdom to giving rural areas a counterweight to heavily populated urban areas?

As GP said above -- a counterweight to to heavily populated areas. Which the more rural areas were at the time.

The more rural states (like Virginia at the time) had most of the population, which is why they preferred representation based on population.

The argument was one of population (whether current or expected), as writings by all involved in it will tell you explicitly.

Regardless, the US Senate was created with two senators from each state provided equal representation to each state in that house.

Which was and still is, a counterweight to heavily populated areas. Rural or urban really doesn't make a difference.

Edit: Clarified rural vs. urban importance WRT US Senate representation.
I gotta say I read your comment and I immediately knew whose byline would be on the other side and I wish I could say I was wrong.
that a DC citizen is exceedingly unlikely to be a Parler user unless they're an external protestor or a congressperson (or congressional staff, I guess).
There are several factors, but let's not forget that some of these companies have gotten so productive with some shady practices.

Would Facebook have become the Facebook we all know and love today if it had started in Europe? Probably not, because local legislators as well as the public would have said "whoa, we're not doing THAT!" I mean, Belgium outright banned Facebook from collecting data a few years ago, and there are other cases as well.

Companies such as Intel and Microsoft have been repeatedly fined, and it's not hard to see how they would have ben prevented getting in such a position in the first place if they had been started in Europe.

Now, according to some viewpoints profit and size is everything; I've seen this expressed on HN a few times with comments such as "all tech giants are American, Europe is shit", but what this misses is the question if we're really better off with all these tech giants in the first place, because to be honest I'm not so sure that we are. I think quite a few Europeans would see the existence of these companies as a failure of the American system, rather than a success.

So part of the reason is that the US allows for some business practices that would be very difficult (or outright illegal) if a company would be EU-based.
> Who said anything about micromanaging? I simply said the government both won't let Intel fail, and won't let their assets be sold off to foreign companies.

Internal information on stuff we don't know about, especially apropos of ring -1 (or even lower if that's even possible), will never leave US soil.

Plenty of usecases are already covered by that. Also, running containers in containers is also a thing.

It's containers all the way down.

I've found that I write a lot of notes but much less frequently read them. Seems so much of my time goes to writing notes that I don't have much time to read them.

Still I believe it's good that I write them because I assume it clarifies my thoughts and makes it easier to remember the thoughts I had because I wrote them down.

Have you considered that in a discussion about the USA a modern Europe the Soviet Union might possibly be completely fucking irrelevant? But yeah, my bad, I keep being naive and assume that people try to interpret what I say in a reasonable manner instead of shouting COMMUNISM!! SOVIET UNION!!!

Which famously struggled because it didn't overpay its software engineers enough. So instead of doing productive work like optimizing ad impressions and creating DRM they all became garbage collectors and cleaners.

What you are calling "censorship" is a free market business transaction. There are many cloud services, colo facilities, etc. If Amazon chooses not to do business with you there are certainly other options.

This certainly happens at the local level all the time: really toxic customers can get "fired" and banned from all the local movie theaters or all the local grocery stores. It is really no different online - some people just got used to living consequence-free on the internet. Wider society had no idea what the internet was at first then later didn't grasp the seriousness or impact the internet had. Fewer people hold such obviously disprovable beliefs now. The internet is just slowly catching up with how the physical world usually works. Neo-Nazi groups often can't find private venues willing to host their rallies, caterers willing to serve them food, etc. Newspapers refuse to run ads all the time. Broadcast networks don't hand over the microphone to everyone who demands it. If every newspaper in the country refuses to run your political ad that doesn't make it a grand conspiracy to censor you - perhaps you're just an asshole they don't want to do business with.

RIRs are not regular for-profit businesses and operate under very different policies for many reasons not the least of which is there are no alternatives since the RIR controls your access to the internet within your region via IP assignments.

If Silk Road (and its spawn) manage to stay online until the government shuts them down then these more-legal companies can surely find a way.
I've struggled with this a lot. Unfortunately, the question "what's the ideal way to run a society?" is a very different one from "where's the ideal place for me to go right now?".

I'm not from America, but moving there as a high-paid, still-young software developer was a reasonable choice for me. I might advise others in my position to do the same. I'd be less likely to tell people "you should run your country more like America".

Are you talking to people in the 0-$50k range (below median) or in the $50-$200k range (above median)? Opinions probably diverge.

If you think through it, the billionaires don't have all that much real resource to be used - eg, J. Bezos owns an island in Hawaii. So say the government takes his island off him and redistributes it to low-wage earners in New York - they can't actually use the island for anything. They'd sell their stake in it and go for real resources locally. The actual real resources they consume are going to be made up for by the upper-middle class having less.

If anything is done about income inequality, it is probably going to involve bringing the above-median types more into line with the below-median earners. There aren't many ways around that - low earners need real resources, not paper money. Billionaires tend not to have the amount of real resources that are needed.
Hormonal Harmony HB5 Review, Legit or a Scam?
The Republicans killed the Filibuster in the Amy Coney Barrett nomination I thought, and multiple others.

I remember the Democrats threatening court packing and DC/PR statehood with the merest of advantages.

And now they have it.

Which means the Democrats will probably reinstate the filibuster out of collegiality or some other insane reason. The Democrats are averse to winning.
Interesting how before A0 it was mainly "search matters the most", with crazy low branching factors to get deeper. It seems that humans were just better in search heuristics than in evaluation ones.
Let’s be honest: most jobs are underpaid in Europe. Especially the lower wage ones. Living costs are rather similar in the us and in the eu. That mostly depends on what city you live. You can’t fire people easily so there is a huge risk involved into employing people. Especially low wage jobs. High taxes for companies and high income taxes add to that and you generally have less money to spend at the end of the month.

> you can't save, you are entirely dependent, in a broader sense, on the government's stability (I am not using this sentiment in a pejorative sense like some might.)

I managed to save about €10k/year on a €42k/year salary (and I was being woefully underpaid even by European standards for what I do, but that's a different story, I should have earned at least 60k, but ah well) which I used to fund my business.

Maybe you can save more in the US – I don't know – but you can save plenty of money on tech salaries in Europe.
Erlangs documentation is fine. It's not 'modern', but it is actually quite good. There is a lot of it though and it isn't newbie friendly, which is a niche filled by some excellent books out there, for instance the (free!) Learn You Some Erlang website/book: https://learnyousomeerlang.com/
As much as I hate Snyder, it seemed like any corruption in these cases was at a much lower level - and to me the exciting deals to lowering water quality seemed suspicious to me, but I’m not an investigator :)

But let’s look at this more seriously - this is a case of negligence being bought against a governor for harm caused by what amounts to failure to adequately maintain infrastructure.

Doesn’t that apply to pretty much every state in the US at the moment? There have been collapses of dams, bridges, road ways, ... in pretty much every state for decades. Due entirely to a policy of deferred maintenance (eg “I can make the budget look good today, even if tomorrow it costs 10x as much to correct”).
Someone said, roughly, that X should be like Y.
You immediately asked them why this was ethically optimal.

To me that seems like a non-sequiter.

There is no reason to suspect that the optimization (with respect to whatever objective you desire, e.g. total happiness) of a large, complex, chaotic, system (such as a society) can be best achieved by using 'ethical correctness' as the only criterion for decision making.

At least, that's my opinion. I hope that doesn't make me an indecent human being.

Thanks! But jQuery has not really moved over, compare "addClass" in jQuery vs UmbrellaJS:

- Umbrella 6 lines (max col 55): https://github.com/franciscop/umbrella/blob/master/src/plugi...

- jQuery 35 lines (max col 83): https://github.com/jquery/jquery/blob/master/src/attributes/...

Yes I reuse methods there to make my life easier like `.eacharg()`, but jQuery as well with `getClass()`. The difference is that UmbrellaJS is using the native `classList.add`, while jQuery is doing string concatenation and cleaning it up heavily. jQuery does not even use `className`, it uses the even older `.setAttribute()`.

Why they cannot just move over? I did try to move them over, the thing is that the edge cases of jQuery were solidified into features as people found them and wrote tests. And jQuery is very big on not breaking behaviour even for small things, so the only way to maintain the current exact behaviour is to have the current exact code, hence you cannot just migrate it over.

A developed country's government failing to the point that it can no longer guarantee property rights is pretty unusual.

I’m more pointing out how it’s not a silver bullet (and how a silver bullet for app privacy doesn’t exist); nothing is perfect and f-droid is no exception, even if it is better than Play Store. Nothing is stopping an app from uploading user data for a good purpose then selling it to third parties.

I don't want to address the hegemony point beyond I disagree on the need or even effectiveness of US military.

Sucks. Politics created a horrible company. Yay diversity!

You have people in positions that shouldn't be there.

For instance, Ann Kelleher is an idiot. She will not get Intel to 7nm.

Period.

She has the position because she is a woman. When you point out her mistakes, deficiencies, you get fired.

How about hiring a woman that knows what she is doing? Lisa Su seems to know what she is doing.

No. Not Intel. Let's promote solely because she is a woman, then spend every 6 weeks celebrating her promotion, the diversity, and how woke we are.
Been working in Europe for about 10 years now with "low" wages as a Hardware Engineer (6 figures US). Sorry but America seems like a third world country compared with what we get here. I have: 35 days vacation per year, 35 hour work week, overtime pay, free education, childcare money each month, healthcare that wont bankrupt me if I lose my job, up to 3 years in parental leave (6 mo. paid), probably other things which I'm forgetting. No amount of money would make me go back to that dumpster fire that is America.
Amending the Constitution is functionally impossible but adding states is very easy. The Senate is gravely tilted towards Republicans so at the present moment where Donald Trump has handed the Senate to Democrats, they must add as many states as possible. Maybe they can get to 25.

Isn't one of the reasons that the total cost of employing a person being significantly higher. I believe I read that in Europe it's often calculated to be about twice the person's salary. I could be mistaken but don't have the patience to look for the source at the moment.

Current divp uses very unbalanced openings for engines to be able to score. Using starting position/more optimal openings inevitably leads to draw. So it's actually exactly the opposite -- the advantage is so low and draw tendencies are so strong that we need to force position where white has advantage to be able to compare two strong engines
Agreed, my particular situation might be caused by the fact that i initially started working at my present company before finishing my bachelor's and am currently working on finishing my master's. Since the initial salary i was hired with was even lower, it has never quite caught up - job hopping might address that.

But even so, the average net salary in this country is even lower than that (overall, not for software developers) and i don't have kids or a car to take care of, hence others could also have those expenses to consider.

Thus, factoring those in, it might indeed take a substantial amount of time to create any savings. For example, i presently have 25k€ in my bank account, though it has taken about 4 years to get there.

That's not to say that people in US or other places also don't have similar factors to deal with, like healthcare costs or student loans.
Nuclear fission has well-known drawbacks and risks that are fundemantal, they will never be engineered away (risk of catastrophic explosion, huge operating costs, risk of nuclear waste leakage, risk of nuclear weapon proliferation). Why do you think the future will be significantly different from the present in this regard?
I am glad that the public backlash forced them to fix a deliberate BACKDOOR that they had introduced (by design) in the Network Extension Framework that macOS Big Sur now forces all the firewalls to use. (At least, they claim to have removed it). But it is hard to trust them again, and I would prefer to use a firewall that uses its own kernel extension to manage the network than using Apple's API again. (Obviously that's going to be really hard with the changes they have made to the OS).

I know many Apple's fan see this as a positive move.

But let's not ignore the pattern of privacy violations and user data collections due to deliberate design and the "apology" and "changes" that follow once CAUGHT. A few of these that immediately come to mind are:

- Apple selling user data to US government: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants...

- Apple iPhone 11 tracks user location even when location services are explicitly turned off by user (another BACKDOOR): https://www.silicon.co.uk/mobility/smartphones/apple-iphone-...

- Apple macOS tracks every app that you use: https://sneak.berlin/20201112/your-computer-isnt-yours/

- Apple introduces BACKDOOR in its API to allow Apple apps to bypass application firewalls: https://www.patreon.com/posts/hooray-no-more-46179028

(For those who want to diss me for the above, realise that Apple's new found love for privacy doesn't mean shit without such public scrutiny and discussions. And if you want it to last, remain suspicious and VOCAL on any such possible violations.)

Khan Academy is no longer motivating for kids.

It used to work great. It was mainly math. Each lesson was marked out in a big 2D map, with arrows connecting lessons. Kids would earn meteorites, stars, comets, and other sky object badges.

I've seen this in action with multiple kids. The interest just died, almost 100%.
Muscle memory kicks in just like with buttons. The Volvo infotainment does that really well. You can easily learn where something is. Meanwhile with BMWs you still constantly have to look at what you are doing. But that was even normal back when iDrive first came out. The problem is the execution and design, not the technology itself.
I tried to research how this could happen: a city "seceding" from it's state.

I didn't really find anything.

I think it would introduce a fascinating effect: since cities are the financial lifeblood of states, the suburbs on the border would flock to be in that budget, rather than the rapidly diminishing one.

Kansas City is the #1 city I can think of that should secede though. It's population is doubly diluted by two states.
I've done this before - you just end up rewriting jQuery hehe.
