> Literally, a minute ago I saw a tweet from a guy is very well known, and dedicated his life for one thing. And he's working really hard.

He is tweeting. That means his goal is to portray a certain image. Given your impression, that is part of his intended image and he almost certainly does not work as hard as his social media makes out.

(And, if he is that well-known, he might employ people to take care of his social media)

I'd rather leave my personal history out of it if that's ok, though I can share it it would convince anyone so best stick to wider measures. Fair?

Also, again, we agree a lot and I think that's worth remembering. I too decry loss of unions and civic orgs. I think we need a system that gives more opportunities and where the opportunities are of better quality.

But there are still 2 issues I feel we disagree on:

First, the 70m lazy people. To be clear, I didn't say they were all lazy, I said some were and some were short termist. I'd add that others were risk averse or unambitious. Why is this number not credible to you? There are 330m people in the US, so 21% of people being either lazy or short termist or risk averse etc actually sounds LOW to me. Maybe I am spending time with the wrong people?

Second, who are these elite? I keep hearing about them. But no one seems to know for sure what makes one elite? Right now it seems that we have 70m non elites complaining about 280m elites. How can the elite also be the majority? You can't be above average and in the majority, being elite and the (overwhelming) majority sounds far from possible.

Again, I don't disagree our society needs to improve. I support everything from a UBI to criminal justice reform to education. Now is a perfect time to go after China and that should even bring back jobs to some extent.

I just don't buy this ill defined "elite" concept as the root cause.

The root cause is 20-40 years of social progress and a minority of people choosing (however understandably) not to engage with the new (better) system. Sorry to be blunt about it.

That, and people being bored.
When it comes to short term deaths (like could be measured right now or in the coming years) I think the bigger mechanism would be pollution which causes deaths from people with respiratory illnesses and such in major cities. Not so much in the US (although LA is a problem I think?) but definitely in China and India.
Express Entry also doesn't require an employer, although you do get an extra 100 points if you have a job offer from an employer with a Labor Market Impact Assessment. This was one of the big upsides for me - very few countries will give work visas to self-employed people, let alone jumping straight to permanent residency.
Narcissistic managers demanding everybody on their team use webcams during meetings hardly refutes clairity post.
How is that working out for the Senate?
I tried one out. I'm 6'4 (193 cm for our friends outside the US), and even with the seat all the way back my right knee hits the screen. Would it have killed them to make it adjustable? It's a $50,000 car, come on.
Still works well through https://github.com/EionRobb/purple-hangouts. (I'm only using that through bitlbee-purple, not via Pidgin, but that should be largely irrelevant.)
I wouldn't. And I'm sure many others wouldn't either for similar reasons.

Public transportation is great and I love using it when it makes sense, but in many cities it does not compete with the convenience and security of having a reliable personal vehicle.

The only place I felt public transportation was good enough to go without my own car was NYC - but I lived on a great train line that ran every few minutes reliably. I also didn't have any dependents that I was responsible for. Many people who lived nearby used the train but still had their own cars as a backup.

Even with how convenient it was for shuttling myself around, using it when needing to carry anything like groceries becomes difficult, and made me wish I had a car. Especially during rush hour where sitting is almost impossible.

I'm all for improving public transportation, but I do not see it being a replacement for personal vehicles in every way.
Hoping on it. I'm not as familiar with modern approaches to open sourcing the whole platform (I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to development), but in the short term, I'll be open sourcing a ton of data for all the different icon sets, as well as little scripts and plugins I built for Iconduck.
FWIW, this looks like it's macOS only so far, and by integrating with iMessage it would support SMS as well (at least for iPhone users that have forwarding to iMessage enabled).
These things are all just opinion - there is no such thing as a "fair" district.

Or do you not really agree with this concept? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyranny_of_the_majority

Voting blocks are how they are... and these kinds of changes will have sweeping, unpredictable consequences. I find it humorous that people have a big enough ego to think that they could get it "right".

More generally, what people consider "fair" voting policies are what benefit their political party.

You should push yourself. You shouldn't push yourself too hard. In terms of physical activity, you should push yourself to the point that it's hard, but not to the point that your injured, nor to the point that you're exhausted for several days. For mental activity, it's kind of the same.
That's really sad to hear. I have been working mainly with the Chatty devs, and they have been great to work with so far.

Maybe the v3 API is better, but tbh the v2 API feels very much like it was designed for the AIM/MSN days. Not that there's anything wrong with that, it just makes the plugin architecture feel very inflexible.

But the Chatty folks seem to be moving away from libpurple (for much the same reasons), so I don't know how much more I will work with it.
Eh... yes but no.

The lizard battery chemistry introduced around 2014 addressed a lot of the issues with degradation and those issues really only came up in climates like Arizona and Texas with punishing heat.

Unless you're driving a lot during extreme heat waves or DC Fast Charging regularly, you'll be fine in most climates.

Thermal Management Systems are definitely better but it's not really problematic.
By now I'm gonna need a site listing icon collection sites.
If I refuse to mate with someone, I also killed a few thousand people over the next millenium. That doesn't mean I will loose any sleep over saying no to his proposition.

Lab 126 made Kindle. It's already done its job.

Oh, and Fire TV, and Echo.

Yeah, Lab 126 definitely did its job. Literally every product integrates is a core part of the Amazon experience.
I’m on the contrary here; In my experience SQLite for these kinds of projects tend to become bottlenecks, failure points and/or corrupted eventually.

As long as I pushed it forward, setting up a decent Postgres cluster with failover that I use over local file systems when available has been great.

I groan a bit anytime don’t thing requires persisting configuration to the local file system during the lifetime of the process.

Backups are a lot smoother too. The time invested does come back pretty quick.
While this is a long way from being a proper graphics driver, it is a good indication that we're going to see a functional driver for Linux before too long. I was concerned this bit would take years to work out, this suggests it'll be months to get a working driver.

I haven't informed myself too much so please call out if/where I'm wrong.

In my mind the super quick version of this entire thing seems to be:

- GPL requires you to publicize your changes if you distribute the software.

- SSPL is more or less the same as GPL, but also requires you to publicize your changes if you offer the software as a service to others.

To me it really seems as if SSPL is a more modern GPL, fit for the SaaS world.

What am I missing?
I wish I could have made this comment. I wanted to make the same points, but my reply to this comment was much angrier and accusatory, and was not nearly as civilized or mature as yours. I will try to emulate this style of rebuttal in the future, and to be a little nicer when I can, even when I'm angry. Your username definitely fits!!
>So long as "everybody" truly believes the Governments threat to effectively ban ICE sales after 2030

Will anyone believe that though? Given the propensity of virtually all governments worldwide to do less than promised and the overwhelming amount of infrastructure still needed, I don't take this date seriously at all.
Horribly. States borders are one of the worst districting systems imaginable, and the fundamentally undemocratic nature of the Senate makes it a huge, and basically insurmountable, problem.

They need time.

I would love to have an Audi that looks like one, feels like one and drives like one, but electric. I looked at what they have now and there's no sense in purchasing it because it gets 30% less mileage on full charge than a Tesla. So technology-wise, where it really actually matters, they are way behind. No doubts they will catch up, but they will need time.
That's been my experience with developing with libpurple unfortunately. The APIs are very inflexible for advanced chat features, and theres little documentation for making your own plugin.

Oh yes, let’s leave power to those who know the best, they will make what is right for everybody. History heavily confirm this pattern.
Replace people with people in general, and reread - maybe you don't qualify, maybe you do - people's self-awareness and ability to orient is pretty bad in general too when it comes to health. However you've done nothing to prove your point other than taking what I said literally and taking offense to it, instead of arguing the point as to if my point has merit or not.

You're making assumptions that I don't see there will be environmental impact - it can however be offset and I believe rockets to get things into space is an area where we'll have to accept and compromise - at least until if a space elevator becomes possible.
Literally the first sentence.

I think I know what you mean.

Putting aside emissions, modern engines are a remarkable achievement, that's for sure. I'm relatively mechanically inclined, and I still can't help but to marvel at this machinery that can (albeit, rather inefficiently...) transfer chemical energy to movement. It's just a neat piece of machinery.

> Is it possible that Sars-cov-2 epidemic will eventually save more lives than it cost, through the long term and short term effects of decreased pollution and climate change?

Climate change wont directly lead to death, we'll have to adapt, but there are models showing more food produced from climate change. Simply put, we don't know what potentially will happen. We highly suspect there are 150 thousand increase in death from disease due to climate change[2]

In contrast... there are 135 - 270 MILLION people on the verge of starvation now; due to the policies around covid (or >2% of the worlds population).

> “marching towards starvation” spiking from 135 million to 270 million as the pandemic unfolded. He stressed that 2021 will be catastrophic [2]

BTW these people are still getting covid too, lockdowns slowed the spread, didn't stop it. Most American's have already gotten the disease (estimates are that 10x the number of people have gotten it over the tests[3]). Given 25 million have tested positive, by the prior estimates, that means a likely 250 million Americans have already gotten covid [4].

Back to use pidgin then!
@mythz nice work!

BTW, I've been working on building a security framework for .NET web apps (site not yet launched so not linking here) – it comes with several enterprise-grade security mechanisms (like automatic record/property-level permit checks for request data, entity suspension etc.).

We're fully supporting ServiceStack (both .NET Core and Framework).

Would you be open for some sort of collaboration?
The Sars-cov-2 epidemic might easily kill more people in the developing world through food and economic insecurity than it kills from respiratory disease (esp given how young those countries are).

I don't think this is a particularly realistic take.
You seem to be suggesting that tyranny of the minority would be no less preferable to tyranny of the majority, while it seems strictly worse: it still isn't properly representing everyone, but now the unrepresented population is larger...

Don't let an improvement not being perfect prevent any improvements from happening.
SSPL:

> “Service Source Code” means the Corresponding Source for the Program or the modified version, and the Corresponding Source for all programs that you use to make the Program or modified version available as a service, including, without limitation, management software, user interfaces, application program interfaces, automation software, monitoring software, backup software, storage software and hosting software, all such that a user could run an instance of the service using the Service Source Code you make available.

That's a lot more than "your changes" and is impossible to meet if you use any commercial software or a service provided by others pretty much anywhere in your stack.

It's interesting that people think $200/hour rate, for in demand software engineer/developer, is out of touch.

That roughly equates to $400,000 a year. Which may seem like a lot, until people actually see what the market rates are in west coast tech hubs.

It does sound to my like all of these issues would be the same no matter what library/framework you chose. Working “against the grain”, choosing third party libraries, managing coding conventions and dealing with code bloat is common to all technologies. Unless all these points are adressed, you’re unlikely to achieve success with any platform.
Is it a real sound, or one generated with speakers/additional devices?

Another piece of context regarding hybrids:

> politics will no longer promote the technology after the federal elections in autumn 2021 at the latest, and that customers will then lose interest

As this is a German company, the interview was with a German magazine, and Germany is having federal elections in fall 2021, he is probably referring to regulatory changes which may affect only the German market. Audi could still sell hybrids elsewhere in the world.
Anyone know what happened to the 3.x branch?

I'm curious what your thoughts are about the USA's response. In California, the majority of people obeyed the stay-at-home orders for the first few months, but then, much like yourself, started ignoring them completely. They announced a 'second lockdown' recently, which everyone kind of laughs about, because no one is actually paying attention to it. We're up to 700 deaths per day now.
I don't agree that React is not enterprise ready. The mistake OP made was reaching for Redux for some weird reason. Redux-saga, _thunks_? I guarantee this project used thunks of some kind because some blogger posted about it and it was popular and trendy.

Pick boring tech that's objectively simple and not an exercise in genius. mobx, today: apollo-client (if you have a graphql api).

I've never seen any other project stain a framework as much as Redux has done.

Also, he had a ton of organizational issues that have nothing to do with the tech.
If he has "zero actual Russian support," why would western security services go through the trouble of staging this?
Recessions/Depressions have really been the only significant reduction in GHG emissions in recent history, the paper treaties have been pretty insignificant.

I won't say that the massive progress in alternative energy infrastructure buildout isn't blunting it as well, and the promise of EVs for alleviating transportation emissions, but the Mortgage Recession and the COVID recession have been the historically largest reductions emissions in recent history.

I have good faith that alt energy + EV will result in a massive improvement, but I wonder if it will be enough.

I guess what I'm saying is ... financial deck chair rearrangers, let's cook us up a steady diet of structural financial malfeasance.
AngularJS was indeed a bit of a pain when we switched to Angular 2+ and beyond, but it was so worth it.

I chose it because of the skillset that our current (small) team has. There's no way our 'designer' (more an HTML/CSS guy) could have wrapped his head around JSX, the way it mixes scripts with layout markup.

The way Angular separates concerns for us is great. And the components are extremely flexible and reactive and useful for iteration. And lazy-loaded routings? Yes please.

And with the Angular CLI and TypeScript typings and using VSCode it's an absolute joy to build sites with.
You're not comparing apples to apples between a Model 3 and a Civic. A better comparison is a Model 3 and a BMW 3 series. The former in LR RWD trim weighs in at 3,800 lbs with the latter 328i at 3600 lbs.
I have been thinking about this a lot lately. Like anything, balance is the key. I am beginning to realize that it’s really important to plan for balance and pushing myself at the same time. If I plan to have a decent baseline of time for basic activities (this is different for everyone) then I can push hard on some things over short periods of time and not burn out. I know that incremental achievement will still boost my confidence and life satisfaction. I used to just push until I burned out: it’s not a good approach.
First you made a bad choice by using React, then you made a bad choice by publishing on Medium which does not allow anonymous reading.
I’ve had a similar thought regarding the 2020 presidential election. Had Trump and his administration properly handled the pandemic response (or never had to handle it in the first place) it’s quite likely he would’ve been re-elected. After having seen the events that transpired over the past month (to say nothing of the past four years) I can’t help but wonder if 400,000+ lives ended up being the cost to preserve democracy in the US.
The website is down, so I don't have much to say. But I will be very interested in how the authors define 'fairness' for this sort of problem.

What do you think of the journalists not caring about violence towards Scott?

For that matter why is Scott not considered a journalist?

Many of his pieces are deeply researched and analytical of current affairs and are certainly comparable to magazine journalism.
I'm not really a React fan, but you could have encountered all of these problems regardless of what you'd chosen to use. Sounds like the writer had good intentions and worked hard to do the right things, but that there were fundamental misalignments beyond the technology. Could they have planned ahead for those conflicts? Maybe. But, as noted in one of the paragraphs, enterprise type projects have a way of taking on a life of their own even when all parties have the best of intensions - and in many projects, not all parties actually have the best intensions. Heck, I've seen projects get started and deliberately set up to fail as a counterbalance to some other project. Live and learn.

Hello!

Frankly, we are all Americans and share a lot of common struggles. The combination of strong partisan norms and linking that to wedge issues has done our body politic a lot of harm.

I am not talking about any move to center.

I am talking about a move to common ground, public awareness of public good and how we can talk about those things as people, not members of various tribesm
