This seems prefaced on the idea that the cultural homogeneity is a desired state.

I certainly acknowledge that immigration has some potential negative effects, particularly where large groups of immigrants congregate in one area, for example the British immigrants in the Spanish Costa del Sol.

Your example doesn't strike me as one which I recognise as a problem. Even if neither your dad nor your wife are willing to give an inch in accepting the other may have a point, is this not better than neither of them having been exposed to that point in the first place?

> Achieving the base functionality is not hard, getting some of the most advanced features is more of a pain. Rarely I see aws services sold for their advanced features, though.

Base functionality is relative. The base functionality of IAM is that every server, pod, user or AWS service has an centrally managed identity controlled via RBAC that is used to access any other AWS resource, requires no long-lived credentials, powered via a flexible policy engine that can rely on principal and resource attributes, with updates to policies applied in seconds across the globe. The actual advanced functionality is more complex and useful in certain situations.

If your benchmark for base identity functionality is “different SSH keys for different servers” then I’m not sure what to say.

The same for encryption - the point is that it’s not very service specific with AWS. That’s the base functionality: encrypt this data (queue, disk, object, database, backup, whatever) with this key. Done. Consistent, transparent encryption at rest for every service, access controlled through IAM roles and policies.

Not necessarily. From reading the piece I understand that the net effect here is to invoke an investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority (ie to ensure there is sufficient competition in the market, it does not necessarily need to be by UK owned entities)
The safety isn't an exaggeration, though I can understand it can be hard to believe when not experienced first hand just how hard it is to introduce bugs in elm. Like type safety eliminates one type of bugs, elm's stricter safety eliminates even more. When there is only one place in the whole code base that is allowed to have side effects, that removes lots of the bugs normally seen in frontend. Can't recall we ever having a runtime bug. And most logical bugs are also eliminated since they are harder to actually make.

It's ready for production. We've been using it for years without issues or bugs. It works as it is right now, and has done for years. It's not like it would stop working out of the blue.

Of course, studying and modelling the exact dynamics of particle transmission is useful, but the headline and linked study seemed to be related to a binary question of whether or not airborne transmission happens, which is a question that's been thoroughly answered for several months.

> the RPi has the potential to become the de-facto ARM desktop, very much like the IBM PC became the de-facto x86 machine

Your use of "de facto" implies a significant presence in the retail marketplace such that consumers choose the product readily without seeking options.

The RPi is unlikely to ever achieve this in 2021 and beyond. However, the RPi 400 is a brilliant device. I recommend it over just about any other computing option except maybe a mid- to high-end Chromebook.

From the point of view of sustainability, the RPi 400 is a much better option than a Chromebook.
I’ve seen you trot out your background as some sort of evidence of requiring Immigration restriction while seemingly ignoring the fact that your very existence as a US citizen is a consequence of the “liberal” immigration policies that let your parents in. So let me put this in terms of your situation: 1) while 1st gen immigrants may hold different values, their kids turn out mostly to hold Americanized values and 2) the fact that they don’t fit in culturally is good, we want people with different perspectives.
The host-it-yourself easiest method is to use starboard-wrap [0], it provides a custom HTML element that wraps the sandboxed iframe. Documentation is a bit lacking, but I'm happy to help out. It should work in any framework.

Alternatively you can create your notebook in starboard.gg and embed it using a standard iframe. It depends a bit on what you want your app to do, if you want to integrate "tightly" with the notebook the first will be the better choice.

I've been struggling to understand why Nvidia's takeover of Arm might be a UK national security issue (the competition case is quite clear but separate).

I'm guessing though that Arm collaborates with UK intelligence agencies and that that collaboration might be jeopardised with the Nvidia takeover (in a way that it was not with the Softbank takeover). Does anyone have any further insights?
Huh. This quote appears to come from Tucker Carlson, not who I expected at all. If even the American right believes this stuff, that might explain why it's become so prevalent in Valley culture. What's interesting is, although the idea is attractive and sounds superficially right, it's been investigated heavily in the past and is wrong. The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis comes in two flavours:

- The "strong" version, that says effectively language controls thought and you cannot think things you cannot express in words.

- The "weak" version that says language influences thought.

It was realised that the strong version was wrong before World War 2. The weak version is probably also wrong, because viewed through modern eyes a lot of this research is exactly the sort of stuff that's unlikely to replicate. The claims that seem like they might replicate are about trivial and arbitrary differences e.g. Swedish speakers using "a long time" vs Spanish speakers saying "a lot of time".

For example: one major problem with Sapir-Whorf research is that a lot of it is based on anthropologist's claims about obscure languages, often the languages of isolated tribes. These are inherently difficult to replicate because often these tribes disappear or their language changes (supposedly) after contact with western civilization. Additionally the field is plagued with bad research that should have immediately raised suspicion, for example, the 1981 claim that Chinese people have difficulty reasoning about counterfactuals because of grammatical differences in their language, which turned out to be simply due to bad translations [1]. Many other studies are very weak conflations of correlation/causation, for example, this field is littered with claims of the form: speakers of languages with feature X go to college more often/are richer/are more or less confrontational. This sort of thing is ripe for all the classic ills of social science research, like P-hacking.

Outside of academia the most famous example of belief in strong Sapir-Whorf is surely communism and their insistence on calling each other "comrade". This ubiquitous term didn't make them behave in comradely ways as assassinations, executions and widespread corruption were all common in Soviet societies.

It's probably not a surprise that the left has difficulty letting go of Sapir-Whorf. This is partly because it's easy to mix up cause and effect with language control. Being in a position to severely punish people for something trivial, like use of a previously acceptable phrase, indicates to all observers that you have total power, that you can do whatever you like regardless of how unreasonable or extreme it is. Those observers may incorrectly conclude that language control is the actual source of those people's power, when in reality, it is the public punishment for arbitrary and harmless acts of disobedience that is the real source of power. Language is just a highly visible way to achieve that.

There are other complications with a business like MoviePass which probably become clearer if you assume it's a theater chain itself offering the pass:

- Whether a butt in a seat costs them anything (because they're displacing a full-boat customer) or is even net profitable because

- Theaters make a lot of money by selling expensive popcorn and soda that cost them almost nothing

- Also, the gym membership factor. i.e. people buy subscriptions and then don't really use them.

Agreed - and it's LP money anyhow, a cut they take regardless of long-term success. If you can boost a brand to enough mind share, even if it costs you billions, then you have these golden eggs - even if they're hollow golden eggs - to show LPs what you're capable of; even though arguably a waste of money, it doesn't bother me if the LPs aren't large funds of the general population, the idea of such waste bothers me when it's people's investments that they're expecting or hoping to retire off of - there is such a delay and disconnect/misalignment between financial incentives though that the finance industrial complex has been able to get away with.

Not true!

What you do is that you keep a registry for objects passed from the host vm to the foreign vm in which you register objects thus transferred. And you use a similar mechanism for objects passed from the foreign vm to the host vm. In CPython, you simply increment the refcount to prevent Python from collecting them prematurely.

This is how Java does it (via JNI) and how many gc:ed runtimes interact with other gc:ed runtimes. This is how you do it in Rust too since Rust can't tell how long an object passed to a foreign vm is supposed to last.

Bay Area Employment and Labor Force Slip
The change from January to March is what's surprising.
Someone explained this to me last year with an example, and it 'clicked'. The idea is to let the government control the 'velocity of money'. For example, the US is giving out stimulus checks for COVID - the clear goal is to keep business afloat and people spending, but what if they just put the money into savings or crypto? The government did not achieve their goal.

To achieve their goal, they program the money with "must be spent on consumer goods and/or rent in the next 6 months." Then they put a "smart contract" on the money and say "can only be spent if you are drug free and looked for a job in the last 6 months."

It's scary and I am against it, but above is the upside, from a certain perspective.
