Rural areas are 19% of the US population, and a severely overweighted part of national politics. The population considerations at the founding were pre-urbanisation, and have basically flipped, percentage wise.

How certain are you that the pear was fresh picked? (did you watch?) Do you have a high tolerance for grainy texture?

Normally, pears must be picked green. If they ripen on the tree, they get a grainy texture that most people hate. They aren't like tomatoes; they can ripen just fine after being picked.

Ripening a pear is certainly difficult. The skin is fragile. Pears are easy to bruise. It is very common for a pear to rot before ripening. Be really careful. Also, avoid buying pears with any sign of rot already starting at the bottom end, such as white fuzz.

To get pears home safely, I place them on top of soft things like bread, and then I place them separately into my car.

I trust my government and pension system around as much as I trust my private savings being worth anything. I could keep my savings abroad I suppose.

A disaster would mean I get perhaps 60 or 70 or 80% if my projected pension - but I’d live ok on that too. I’m not saving nothing personally, it’s just where I live you usually have to invest in a house if you want one. So the situation is you trust either the pension system or the housing market to hold up. If both were to fail I’d have problems.
You can't compare the performance of an SoC with a flexible architecture in which any part can be changed, upgraded, etc. It's impressive, of course - no doubt, but this is not apples-to-apples comparison. The performance is due to huge compromises. It will be costly to repair, too, given EU is mandating the right to repair now. Anyway, competition is great and Intel and AMD are already taking notes.
> But that's not the same as saying containers are only suitable for ephemeral workloads/data.

No one said that.

> With persistent storage it's not just possible,

There's some confusion on your remarks. A container can be ephemeral even if it has access to persistent data. I mean, think about it: isn't a container still ephemeral even if it has a database connection?

Ephemeral is about internal state, and how recreating a container after deleting it will get it in the exact same state.
Nokia valued managers, but not engineers. Good engineers became not so good managers to get a raise. We know how the story ended.

I bought one of these (WRT1900ACS) when I was working from home last year. It's good, but not great. Before anyone else buys one of these for their open source "support," you should know that Linksys/Marvell basically threw a buggy open source WiFi driver over the wall, failed to upstream it to the Linux kernel due to issues with the code, and abandoned it.

Although it works fine for my simple purposes, there's a discussion of some of its issues at the end of this PR:

The only wisdom would be that the rural areas provide food security. I see that as only justification for overweighting their needs in the realms of agriculture/food markets, not a blanket supervote.
Makes perfect sense.

Good luck!
Imagine being told what software you can and cannot run on your machine.
I can't imagine anyone would notice.

For example, Walt Disney World's Main Street USA has 45-star flags on top of each building [1]. I've heard two reasons for this; that was the flag used in the early 1900's (the period where Main Street USA is set) and because it's not an American Flag they do not need to be illuminated or taken down at night. That last part contradicts what was said above. While this fact comes up a lot, I've never heard of anyone spontaneously noticing or object to how they're treated.

It may be a subtle political statement used by some, but I'm sure someone had done it with the 48-star flag. That's more noticeable because the stars were laid out in a grid instead of a checkerboard.

I made Umbrella JS back in the day, a 3kb alternative to jQuery born from the question: You might not need jQuery, then what do you need?

https://umbrellajs.com/

It's heavily inspired by "You might not need jquery" as the intro shows! Lots of the methods are just like in these examples, only with looping/multiple nodes. Example:

$(el).addClass(className);
vs
el.classList.add(className);

Do not work the same. jQuery (and Umbrella JS) deal with multiple elements and with multiple class names in multiple formats (as a string, as arguments, etc). That's why I find myself still using Umbrella JS from time to time in smaller non-React projects! Just makes everything a lot easier, for 3kb.
Unsure if you’re being sarcastic, but surely it’s few times cheaper than 30 kilograms of knobs and harnesses.

I expect to leave them something (provided e.g the housing market doesn’t totally collapse.)

But I don’t need to save for their education or anything like that. I don’t save explicitly in their name.
That is a completely wrong perspective, and might be symptomatic. You are not paid according to some argument that you personally deserve to be rich, you should be paid according to the value you produce in your context. And the relevant context is more and more global.

Relying on a personal firewall on the device itself seems ill-fated. Maybe it could be considered an additional layer of security, but I've yet to work at a place where a personal firewall is part of the security concept, no matter which OS. It's either firewalls at the gateway, maybe additional ones for certain departments, or mandatory proxy servers if you're stuck in the 90s.
Are you sure about that? Sure, not the top elite, but there's still a significant gap between upper middle class and lower in for example Sweden, which I believe is one of the more equal countries. FAANG level salaries would significantly widen that gap.

I'd check out Wikipedia categories for general pointers. I think it's important to highlight that internet privacy and internet anonymity are two very different things. Also take care on how the word anonymous is used. Some use the word "pseudo-anonymous" which isn't the same thing.

It'd also be helpful to first learn how routing works. Then check out different types of applications(Tor, AnoNet, ZeroNet, etc) and read up on how they implement their networks.

Also read up on how the people who ran the markets got caught (read up articles in addition to Wikipedia).

Be aware Wikipedia shouldn't be used as actual fact. Check the sources. Many editors misinterpret them, or don't even read them at all.

Unlikely. Education is much more expensive in the US which means having a degree will fetch a higher premium. With free education European software developers need lower salary to make getting the education worthwhile.

Also European work days are much shorter. A key reason American software developers earn more is because they work a lot more hours.

Last time I checked this I think I concluded I had much better hourly salary here in Europe than in the US because work weeks where crazy in the US. Not to mention much shorter vacations. I got 6 weeks full paid vacation with plenty of national holidays on top, and long paternity leave for each kid.

It is unrealistic for why we should have the same pay as Americans with all the benefits we enjoy.

The linked tweet/TFA is actually about Apple's boneheaded decision to let its own apps bypass firewalls etc., and not about software permissions.

FWIW you can just turn off the Gatekeeper feature which is what I assume you're complaining about.
Exactly; the problem here is that there's a repository that allows issues to be filed, when the owners don't want issues reported there. Issues should just be turned off on that repository (and if you can't do that, I'd consider that a big missing feature).

You need to guide people to do the right thing based on the interface itself; people overwhelmingly don't read instructions.
I automatically bring ethics into this discussion because I try to be a decent human being and actually care about the society I live in.
It's so odd. I was left with the feeling that I just stumbled on a few rough nuggets of pretty interesting advice. I really enjoyed reading this article and shall refer back to it, but it could almost be extended to a small book if the author would polish and deepen it.
I would not refer to Harari in any context as an author worth reading. „Sapiens“ is a popular book, but scientifically it’s at least questionable.
Also, skip the Mac.

Apple is predatory white-washed garbage.
I take notes in an atomic way (other than clipping interesting articles). Because they are atomic, many of the notes are linked in one manner or the other (either via "concepts", "daily log" etc.). So whenever I revisit one of the "concepts" node, I visit these atomic notes.

Also, obsidian has a "open a random note" button. Thus I open a random note once in a while to see if I can learn (or relearn) something + to see if that note is still relevant for me.
You don’t need a lot of savings to move to the US. I could get a good job there tomorrow (I work for a US company already, there are often positions including relocation and US salaries offered). If I sold my house I could buy one in most parts of the US too. I’d still be eligible for my pension from here too.
Was Pat the one responsible for the near complete degredation of VMWare support over the last X years? I had enough interactions with it to finally get that they were funneling the low paying support contracts to a completely different set of crappy support people, but if you payed the premium you got something much better. Maybe it was prior to him and things have gotten better though.
This was a massive mess up on an epic scale, and I agree with you that criminalizing opponents is a very bad thing. However, the Michigan water crisis is not simply a matter of one party accusing another party of misdeeds baselessly. There was a systematic negligence of duty throughout a prolonged period of time from 2014 to 2016. Experts were repeatedly brought in to assess the situation and offered professional recommendations that were ignored by elected officials. This negligence directly lead to the deaths and permanent disabilities of people. This is not a political issue.

Officials were warned that the Flint River was not adequately treated for legionella, and they did nothing. Officials were warned that lead pipes were leaching into the water supply because of the more acidic water from the Flint River and they did nothing. Simply because they wanted to save money by switching off of Detroit's treated water.

This is negligence and the officials responsible deserve to be held accountable. The charges aren't even that steep; $1000 or up to 1 year in prison. Given that they are elected officials they'll probably get off with a slap on the wrist fine.

Perl 5 has a taint mode built into the language. If enabled, it forces the developer to untaint every bit of user-controllable data (by running it through a pattern match) before doing anything dangerous with it. I can't believe that this isn't a standard feature in all languages.

I have always wondered why leftists cede such a powerful symbol to the right. It makes sense for Antifa, as they tend to be anarchists, but liberal lefties, not sure.

As a practical matter, it can be physically dangerous for leftists to bring a flag to a protest if Antifa is there, since they are violent to those they perceive as fascist, and the USA is considered fascist by them

This is a video of a leftist man beaten for just that in last year's Portland protests (later riots)

With regards to normal courses of action, I agree with you.

However, I think you would also agree that in the cases of flagrant criminal negligence, such prosecution is not just acceptable, but necessary and even mandatory.

At which point, I think this becomes an argument over whether or not the Flint water catastrophe is just such a case of flagrant criminal negligence.
They get protection by the US military and promotion of Californian business interests throughout the world through Federal institutions. Not to mention: friction free access to a large labor pool and US domestic market etc.

I get your point that the US doesn’t provide as much social services as other developed nations. Almost all these nations depend on US hegemony to not have to spend as much on their military. This is a choice that the US made. There are good arguments for scaling back military spending and increasing social spending without compromising US hegemony though, however those choices may not be politically expedient so here we are.
I don't think you even need to be that brutal. Just have a file on your hard drive with a canned response that instructs the reporter that they need to provide more information, and how to provide it. Every time you run into a weak bug report, copy-paste that response into the issue comments. If the extra info gets provided, great, now it's a useful bug report. If not, you can close the issue, and not feel anywhere near as bad about doing so.

The Missus and I tried to plan going back to nature as a quarantine thought experiment. The conclusion was that it's simply not possible in most of Europe unless one manages to find a Sami spouse, and even then, most Sami seem to live fairly modern lives. As a Nordic citizen the Greenland option is there as well, but the situation is similar to the Sami one.

And the above presumes the existing population would accept you, and it's quite likely they won't.

Deciding to live off the land without special privileges enjoyed by native populations is simply not possible; regular financial transactions between you and society is a requirement, and it's pretty much impossible to raise children without access to modernities and without having the authorities go after you for child abuse.

This problem isn't unique to the US, and exists in Europe too, as well as New Zealand and probably other countries too. For this particular point, the US and Europe aren't all that different.
Some very important goods are almost exclusively produced in rural areas (food for instance, being produced by few people). The importance of these goods might be as important as the goods produced by people living in large cities (services for instance, being produced by many people).

If we start considering the people living in an area as the likely maintainers and experts of their field, I could imagine that we might want to assign the importance of votes based on the total importance of the "produced goods" in that area. That way these "maintainers" have a say in politics relative to their actual importance in society. I guess?

I remember that you couldn't have nudity or profanity on TV. You couldn't say certain things on the radio. If you wanted to publish something particularly inflammatory and demeaning, the only outlet was to find some fringe press or do it yourself, because it would simply be unacceptable anywhere else.

Free speech just means the government isn't going to prosecute you for saying something. That's it. Free speech doesn't mean Random House must publish your manifesto to all things awful. It also doesn't mean a private company is obligated to publish your derogatory tweet. Or for a company to host your website chock full of hateful language.
It’s not altruism, it’s just that I’d need to actively chase more pay to get it. And I’m not in a position where I want to (don’t want to switch jobs etc). Marginal taxes are also quite high (over 50%) so there are diminishing returns.

For reference I make around $70k as a senior type eng. Not huge but the “ceiling” (for cash comp) if I switched jobs 10 times and ended up at a very well paying job in the end would be 20-40% more - which is 10-20% net!

It is not only SWE jobs that have lower salaries in Europe.

Broadly speaking all jobs in Europe have lower salaries; the living standard in Europe are considerably lower than in the US.

The US has a GDP pr capita of 65.000 USD, whereas the number for EU is just 36.000 USD.

So what can we do?

My suggestion would be to do as the Americans: Expand our military ten-fold, enforce our currency as reserve currency onto the rest of the world, run massive deficits.
