I thought this NY times op piece on Russian and Chinese vaccines was interesting:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/05/opinion/covid-vaccines-ch...

It’s Time to Trust China’s and Russia’s Vaccines

Basically non-western medical companies such as the Russian and Chinese vaccines companies have a much higher bar to reach in order to get their products approved.

Quality control issues and incomplete documentation are serious problems, but also fixable. Right now the world (maybe not us in the west) need Russian and Chinese vaccines as what the west can offer is not enough to go around.
I assume the grandparents refers to the tromboning inherent in the NZ design.
Speaking as a former customer, their actual application is really not that great. I was subscribed over several months and while new features were sparse, nearly daily the app would update with fixes to the UI and backend. Existing features that became broken and fixed on a day to day basis and UI glitches all over the place. So while their core product, the AI, is the best on the market, everything they wrapped around that really isn't that great at all. So I'm not really suprised that their API is lacking as well. Just something to keep in mind, before using their product...
Factual claims are not the same as fraud. Lots of people consume vitamin supplements. Why? Fraud? No, people believe what they want to believe about products that are legal to sell.

CASE tools were/are no different. You and I have our concerns but P.T. Barnum reminds us, "there's a sucker born every minute!"

The task of unifying and consolidating all of the worthwhile details required in Iconic notation to truly capture the complexity of the thing was never going to be easy nor a finite goal. (e.g. it's a whack-a-mole exercise that doesn't end)

But quite honestly, we are on the same page. If you liken it to fraud - not my monkey, not my circus.
No, you’re missing the point. The “massively successful quarter” (which it was) is what the market expected. Which is why we traded sideways.

'Alleys of Your Mind'

The whole point of any trade is that I give you something that I value less, but you value more. I have 10,000 apples just lying around. You have $10,000 in your bank account. So you pay me a dollar and I give you an apple. To you, $1 was more than fair for the apple, because you were hungry for apples. To me, 1 less apple for 1 more dollar was also more than fair, because I want to buy other things.

So when Amazon pays 100k to an engineer, it is not a zero sum transaction. To the engineer, 100k was worth more than his time. To Amazon, the work done by the engineer in that time was worth more than 100k. Value was created. How much value? I don't know, but definitely greater than zero.

Webpack was the most complex part of our application - it littered the root project with config files and needed a companion documentation file to be maintained let everyone know what was being used where. At some point treeshaking stopped working properly. I very nearly moved us to using makefiles.

As a side project to investigate upgrading to Vue3 we used Vite and have never looked back. Everyone understands how it works and what the config does (probably because of its built in support for things like SCSS without requiring a chain of configuration) and everything runs much faster.

I still worry that Vite like webpack and other web build systems is doing a lot under the hood and it will get complex to maintain when we want to do something out of the ordinary and a more 'open' build system like Make and an obvious sequence of processing steps would be better.
It's the elephant in the room, it's absolutely true.

It's like a hidden autocracy, people in the west probably think it's a democracy here. I mean, people can vote, but there's really only a single party with the same old ideas.

I once read that the reason Buddhism became popular in Japan so quickly is because it gave people a break from the rigid hierarchy everyone was used too. I often wonder why it's less popular now and whether that's an accident.

Yes. HN is a breath of fresh air, one of the last places on the Internet governed by the merit of content and discussion. I would pay just to support it (not that it needs it, I think).

Red Dwarf has an AI toaster that keeps trying to coax Lister into having toast and loudly complains about the misery of being a toaster that doesn't get to fullfil it's life purpose when he doesn't want any.
I noticed this as well visiting several years ago. For instance, even though the process for hotel check-in and most other services was automated with these fancy kiosks, they still had two people behind the desk in case you needed help.

In the west, humans are becoming less employable as they're displaced by automation--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU is a good video if you haven't seen it, and it's from before AI/ML took off! Japan seems to have mitigated it by making automation an addition, instead of a replacement, in many cases. It's certainly not the efficient, capitalist thing to do, but maybe it's the better thing to do.
i find it interesting that these days many articles emphasise (lack of) diversity within a given topic and then introduce some biases themselves that will inevitably skew their results, e.g. in this case focusing the bulk of the work on english reviews in order to do text mining, instead of maybe spending some more time figuring out whether the rankings, most read, ratings, etc. apply to everyone else.

also, i hope garcia marquez is rolling in his grave at the thought of being referred to as "latinx".
You do see people refusing to wear masks, I'm at a cafe (need internet) and people don't have masks on extremely rudely right now. Even thought there are sign asking them too.

In my opinion, the issue with this collectivist society attitude is, very few people think for themselves unless they're explicitly told what to do. This has been the issue in Tokyo and Japan in general, it's wear masks, social distance, but get on a packed commuter train. People just do it, although it makes no practical sense and everyone knows it's stupid, it's just done.

Look at the case numbers in Tokyo though, not going well.

Would you feel more comfortable in a company that openly encouraged / enforced political debate within a civil framework?

Is the problem (in your company and the world at large) that open respectful political debate has not got a common set of rules / words? If there was a phrase "I respectfully disagree - I understand that ..." was a phrase used by every TV host, Politician and Facebook poster, would prefacing your words with that make others more open to receiving it?
The response may have to do with the phrase 'virtue signaling', which is one commonly used by fragile white boys to indicate that someone who objects to certain behavior or will no longer tolerate a certain activity is only doing so because they are seeking approval for this public demonstration and that the belief is not sincerely held. The other alternative is that the person objecting actually believes the behavior is wrong and has no place in the workplace and is willing to take a risk by objecting.

Politics has entered the workplace in the past when the former majority had to deal with women joining the workforce and suddenly certain jokes, conversation subjects, and office behavior was forced to change. It was not a smooth transition without controversy and even legal conflict. The paper in question here starts with the assumption that 'viewpoint diversity' is either valuable or worth cultivating on all subjects, this is not true. We are in the midst of another transition, it is going to get messy, and the 'virtue signalers' are almost certainly going to win.
> I think it's highly developer and power user focused, representing a very small percentage of Mac owners.

A very important percentage. E.g. Final Cut used to have a 60% market share. Now it's may be 25%?

This looks way to close to the original, and deceptively so at that.

I doubt it was your intent, but at the very least you should give the credit to tixy.land, with a link, front and center right there on the page.

Also, something as simple as using a different color pair would really help to distance it from the original.
Yeah, chrome sucks and logs your every move, but it's not live streaming passwords and giving a third party the ability to just... Take over the session while you were logged in to online banking.
It's a great place to retire in my opinion. They are happy to give you a retirement visa if you have half a million in the bank. Japan can be a cheap, high quality, and very respectful place to be if you're a senior.
You seem to be using the language of the Modi propaganda machine that labels and tars every critic in India as a naxal or anti national.

Can't they game their way around that though by just increasing the assessed the value of the property? That's how my town effectively raises property taxes beyond the statutory limits. Sure you can appeal the assessed valuation but most people don't. It is expensive and time-consuming.
I assume that the previous poster sees “new segregationism” in the following behaviours:

* The de-nuancing of race by reverting to “white” vs “black” and sidelining all other “races”.

* The redefinition of racism to be exclusively something that “white” people do to “black” people.

* The rollback of cultural integration goals by ringfencing certain behaviours as either “black” or “white”, with any cross-pollination being branded “appropriation”.

* Elevating race as the primary lens through which all society should be viewed, thus abandoning the project of emphasising the content of our hearts and not the color of our skin.

I assume that the previous poster sees “genderisation” in the following behaviours:

* Confusing sex and gender, to the detriment of sex and with the aim of establishing the primacy of gender in all respects - legal, interpersonal and medical.

* Re-establishment of gender norms as the definition of identity, rolling back progress in challenging gender stereotypes.

I would say that this is a failure of philosophy in political leadership. Not that philosophy was ever paramount in politics, but it was at least expected in the highest classes.

Everything devolves into tribalism without philosophy. It looks like people are discoursing, but they are really just signalling.

As ex-employee I can tell you that Nokia was surely a big proponent of Java, before LWT appeared, the Nokia UI framework was the best extension to J2ME, hardware accelerated on their devices.

They also add J2ME extensions for Symbian capabilities and N95 was the first handset to have real hardware acceleration to J2ME 3D features.

It was a big shock to everyone the communication to move beyond Java and C++ into C# and adopt WP7.
If you search twitter, you will find videos of the ruling dispensation dropping cow urine down the throats of those intubated and on ventilators. The videos were quickly deleted by the party representative who posted it. But the administration truly believes that cow urine is the cure.

Most upwardly mobile, educated Indians I know are trying to move out of the country as it slowly descends into the medieval hell it wants to be. The ruling dispensation has deep roots in western countries through the diaspora that funds its regressive initiatives.

It's hell right now in India and the international press is covering but a small slice of it.
How can we be talking past each other when you got exactly what I said? You just disagree with me that non profits exists, that cooperatives exists, that employee owned businesses exist, that communions and communities where profit is not a word in their lexicon exist.

But they exists. And not only that, the number of self employed people that share all or some of those values grows every year.

And if all that isn’t enough, there are countries much less imperialistic that would have no trouble letting you in.

Cold corporate jobs are not the only jobs and have never been.

Very good analysis. I'm just wondering if a 'bike throw' could cause a sudden acceleration and then deceleration both within the time the front wheel travelled over the line. Which could mean the rider in 2nd may have crossed the real finish line first. Though it's true that this does seem unlikely and therefore i'd also be comfy-ish with what you are suggestion.
> 2. difficult to travel with kids

Umm, just because American trains suck it doesn't mean all trains do.

In Finland all long-distance trains have a separate "kids car" with a playground, toddler/diaper change-compatible toilet and more open seating.[1]

I'd never subject other people to a 2-3 year old who hates cramped planes, nor do I want a screaming kid in the backseat of my car.

They can burn off their energy in the play area in the train. When they are sufficiently drained, we can walk to the restaurant car where I can get a beer and they can get some lunch.

Everyone arrives well-rested and relaxed.

Why is it "loaded"? Is there no precise definition of that term?

> It's built on the premise that authorities should approve and track firearm ownership

Assuming the definition would be "A gun without serial numbers, that cannot be easily tracked", as Wiktionary tells me, I don't see how that supposed premise is connected to it. To my knowledge, historically, weapons manufacturers marked their products regardless of the involvement of the authorities.

No. Bob predates Comic Sans by a year or two.

Comic Sans was originally released as part of Microsoft Plus, and then later used in Comic Chat (their take on IRC). Comic Chat is an interesting enough topic to warrant its own discussion though.
This is about as conventional a narrative as you can get. I've never been happy with it though, it's way too much of a tidy, linear, clean through-line.

For instance, this narrative always leave out free-style and electro like Hashim (example: 1983, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykK0uEjSsqY), Newcleus, etc. Soulsonic Force (1982: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHQ11l4uiM4) predated Atkins Cybotron project and Atkins even said he didn't see a huge difference between the free-style, electro, and what he was doing.

It also leaves out Italo Disco and the British New Wave movement. Take the intro to 1983's Hypnotic Tango by My Mine for instance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6EbVwOumlE

They do an obligatory Kraftwerk but the entire berlin school and midera is left out in the cold as well (Tangerine Dream for example. 1975, Ricochet P2 for instance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XoSNbCNYsA4) along with artists who were giant in their day like Jean Michelle Jarre.

Also what's left out are the other influential Krautrock artists like Manuel Göttsching and his 1981 E2-E4 album. (https://youtu.be/ys0HyevZpQg).

There's also the left-field weird albums that were mighty influential at the time, such as Misa Criolla by Fuego (1981: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Era1x9hRnBQ) There's your "four-on-the-floor" with tape loop sampling. Speaking of children What about the next year,
Liaisons Dangereuses - Los Niños Del Parque ... https://youtu.be/a_sAH2QGotE there's your techno

Or take the Bobby Orlando sounding driving beat in Le Jeté - La Cage Aux Folles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzI2v0RJ8DQ) - a common track of the hot-mix 5. Or Massimo Barsotti's cover of Led Zepplins' Whole Lotta Love (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsEwWSs-t7w)

Or what about Stopps "I'm Hungry" from 1983? https://youtu.be/I26lP56-UeA ... this strange track was played in Chicago house clubs, Belgium pre rave new beat "acid house" parties and the early EBM scene. Pretty expansive one to leave out

And keeping things in the US, they always ignore the west coast, with outfits like Megatone records out of san francisco and gay club music (eg Hi-NRG) and people like Bobby Orlando.

Anyway the history is vast and rich and this article is essentially the same story that's always written. I dunno, I almost feel like this structure misses the boat. I know that's a big claim.
Interracial marriage did not just slowly creep in until it was considered acceptable. It had to fight its way into the conversation, then have champions who were willing to take great risks and accept painful consequences for promoting these polarizing beliefs.

'Depolarization' on this subject is not something that just happened, nor it an effective strategy for change. What happened is that one side LOST and their viewpoint was forcibly removed from the conversation. Within a generation this viewpoint was considered completely unacceptable and those who held this belief learned to shut up unless they were prepared to become the office racist. Voila, depolarization.

Polarization is the only means by which change will be accomplished and there is a growing majority that desires change so your options are to either pick a side or accept the fact that this conflict is happening and keep your head down while you focus on the rest of your job. There are not other options and we passed the tipping point for this conflict quite a while ago.
