> Japan and South Korea (to some extent Taiwan), rebuilt after the war under Anglo-American protection and reformation, also did exceedingly well, far better than most.

Japan and South Korea were never American colonies, unless you're going to twist the term until it makes no sense. They're definitely not independent from the US (as they can't really ask the US to remove its military bases) but they're not "colonies" either.

> Canada, Australia, NZ

These were sparsely inhabited lands populated by un-industrialized societies that were mostly wiped out. Compare that to India or SE Asia, regions with well developed societies and economies, which were brutally subjugated, prevented from industrializing and whose economies were reduced to relying on primary and extractive sectors.

Colonialism absolutely hampered economic expansion in these societies.
Take away React, Vue, Angular, or similar away from most current front end developers and there is panic. When I say panic I mean full insanity panic like abandoning the profession or completely going postal.

——

A simple checklist to provide superior front end applications:

* Don’t use this. You (general hypothetical you) probably don’t realize how easily you can live without it only because you have never tried. Doing so will dramatically shrink and untangle your spaghetti code.

* Don’t use addEventListener for assigning events. That method was added around the time of ES5 to minimize disruption so that marketers could add a bunch of advertising, spyware, and metric nonsense everywhere more easily without asking permission from developers. That method complicated code management, is potentially point of memory leaks, and performs more slowly.

* Don’t use querySelectors. They are a crutch popularized by the sizzle utility of jQuery. These are super epic slow and limit the creative expression of your developers because there is so much they can’t do compared to other means of accessing the DOM.

I now add ESLint rules to my code to automate enforcement of that tiny checklist.
> they would provide them with credits or vouchers to let parents decide what is best for their kids.

This sounds like the exact problem I would hope to avoid. Further incentivizing those who can pay out-of-pocket for their children's schooling would presumably create an even more lopsided public schooling system for those who cannot afford any additional expenditure. It may also decrease incentives to improve public schools in those areas. In the US, there are public school districts that can compete in quality with the most desirable private schools, so it's reasonable to assume that there's room for improvement elsewhere.

Also, your comment makes an assumption that caring about kids means allowing parents to decide what is best for their kids. I'm sure this can be true, but it seems unfounded in something as abstract as schooling methodology.
If the rapist spits on them, maybe. If the person being raped bites them in self-defense, maybe. If the rapist is wounded and bleeds on them (and others!), maybe. The statistic you seek is "unsuccessful rape attempts that did not result in fluid transfer risk to the person being raped, bystanders, or emergency responders". If you are able to find it, feel free to link it here. I suspect you will find that no such data is collected.

Fortunately, this is irrelevant. Given the severity of HIV, the full 18% figure can be safely taken at face value, for society-level disease prevention purposes. HIV is both expensive and deadly and vaccination is cheap.
It is not remotely difficult to convert large amounts of ETH into actual money. Certainly not $400K worth. The market is enormous, and a conversion like this could be done in seconds on a number of exchanges. My arb bot managed to make about $60K over the course of 2 very lucky days about a month ago on the Binance Smart Chain. Converting BNB to ETH on the main chain, then cashing it in for fiat, couldn't have been easier. It didn't come close to causing a ripple in the market.

> Does labor law supersede Musk's first amendment rights? I don't get it.

I don't think first amendment rights mean you have the right to literally say or write whatever you want, such as a threat, without consequence. And Musk did make a threat, it was just a milder one than to send in the Pinkertons.
I’m not a huge Musk fan, but seems like he’s right here? Especially now that we know how that stock has performed over the last few years.

Imo the value of the UAW should be to provide a lower bound for worker pay/treatment. Tesla seems above that (at least for factory workers).

That is an interesting take. If somebody robbed a bank and gave the money to the state, the state would obviously need to return it to its rightful owner.

But copyright is not so straight forward. The church could contest that the physical copy belonged to them and was on loan. Thus it could not be gifted legally. The church could claim that the physical document was licensed non-transferably. They could claim that the copy itself was against copyright. There could be lots of arguments they could make to suppress the document. But none seem so straight forward as the bank robbery example.

To me the important thing that turned the lights on regarding relational databases, is to think in terms of sets.

Hmm. What I’ve said is basically that it’s the only party - but that’s to evoke a feeling not to be taken literally.

I’m not sure I follow. Can you elaborate? I’m speaking about specifically being alive and enjoying that, not fearing death in the act of being dead. I fear death as an alive person, not as a dead person.

When I say I fear death it’s not that I fear being dead. There won’t be anything. But as an alive person I know there’s lots of awesome stuff I’d like to be a part of. I would like to continue that experience. I don’t care what death holds.

I heart your Grassman gradient vector field representations: https://github.com/chakravala/Grassmann.jl. They, heh heh, point the way toward representing aspects of physics and math that should be used far more frequently than they are now. They display the quirks that you could never apprehend looking at an equation. Your representations could eviscerate the representations of data base on paper-like metaphors.

Sadly our leaders, the John Baez and Scott Aronson and people like that, prefer to think in Euler notation and WordPress posts. As Kurt Vonnegut said: So it goes.

The world of representation of difficult concepts using interactive 3D and elegant code is still in its infancy. You are not yet at the ground floor of the construction of a future elegant structure. You - and a few others - are in at the second basement.

This probably is different in different places, but where I'm from, kids do need some prerequisites for 1st grade - e.g. they should be able to read at least somewhat, know the numbers (incl. written), they have to be able to do basic self-care like dress themselves for outdoors, tie their shoes, other basic things, so it is possible that someone isn't ready for first grade if their parents have neglected that and they didn't have preschool.
In general - something you find interesting. Ideally on a frontier. E.g., Smart contracts, Web3, dapps.

It seems TSG was bleeding around $7M per quarter, and legal fees with Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP were capped at $31M [0]. Microsoft seems to paid more than $6M, eg. this article [1] cites $16.6M figure. It should be possible to check these amounts in SEC fillings, but it is cumbersome, there isn't single summary table but multiple fillings mention various payments in different quarters. [2]

It seems that licensing fees from Microsoft were not insignificant part of litigation costs.

A lower bound for worker pay/treatment is like a law prohibiting supermarkets from selling gruel mix, on account of the sentiment that poor people should not be eating gruel.

It doesn't lead to the poor suddenly being able to afford fish fillet and steak. It leads to the poor going hungry. There is absolutely no public welfare benefit in creating statutory minimums on wages, benefits and working conditions.

My point is at the university I graduated from "far from one of the top university", second year student all had to write a clone of "Mario Bros" from scratch in 6502 assembly. And wrote most part of an operating system "basic filesystem, task scheduler, virtual memory system ..".

Which mean even the student that had the worst grade did all that and could do it again without help.

So if I had to interview someone that went to the same university that I did, I don't see the point in asking them to write code to invert a linked list or to solve the n-queen problem because I already know they can do this and I am more interested to know if they have real world experience.
