>If your son has requested a new "processor" from a company called "AMD", this is genuine cause for alarm. AMD is a third-world based company who make inferior, "knock-off" copies of American processor chips. They use child labor extensively in their third world sweatshops, and they deliberately disable the security features that American processor makers, such as Intel, use to prevent hacking. AMD chips are never sold in stores, and you will most likely be told that you have to order them from internet sites. Do not buy this chip! This is one request that you must refuse your son, if you are to have any hope of raising him well.

Hahaha. 2001 was pretty good.
>you either do something, or you don’t. There is simply no middle ground.

Only in the narrowest sense.

Another valid response is "you can't do this as-is, but if you make changes X, Y and Z then you can."
Or "do more experiments with captive populations first."
Or "do this in an area where it's less likely to cause unexpected side effects (eg an unpopulated island somewhere)"
Or "use a different set of genes or tweaks"

It's pretty rare that the _only_ possible choices are to do this _one exact thing_, or do nothing at all.
> I personally fully agree, but unfortunately not everyone thinks as logically as you or I.

Yes they don't because of marketing.

If we want to really change this, the narrative, the media and marketing has to change from: Earth Diamonds = Status of eternity and "foreverness" to Earth Diamonds = Status of child abuse.

With massive campaigns from media and celebrities, people can be shamed into changing their behaviour.

We need to stop treating women as children and objects to be "bought out" with diamonds and gifts. The days of women needing men to "provide" for them are long gone.

But I digress.. more to your point, just because something is a tradition, it doesn't mean we should throw our hands up and accept the status quo.

Change requires bravery.
This constant linking to other things is a bit annoying. I found most of them are older books. I clicked the spanking link to maybe find a book on why you should/shouldn't spank your children and instead got a porn site.

> It has hints of "reverse racism" and tends to dismiss that racism is an issue...and if it is an issue, racism against white people is the actual and bigger issue. That's closer to the camp of "white supremacist" or at the very least, a common defense used by white supremacist.

This is the problem with cultural Marxism / “wokeness”. It’s a sanctified, totalizing ideology that admits zero daylight between “100% agreement” and “you are a white supremacist/literal Nazi”.

In that way it functions exactly like a “state religion”: in public, you’re either a true believer, act like one or are mute and don’t give away your position. Soon they will make you mouth the words or face denunciation. Perhaps we are already there in the vanguard of coastal tech companies.

This whole thing is counter to the very spirit of liberalism.
It's the other way around. The thing that's at stake is economic cooperation, so both sides are more willing to find an amicable solution than otherwise.
> Hetherington found that the very liberal participants in his survey tended to be the most neurotic.

I would expect that measurement to rise on both extremes. If you think that there is something very wrong with the status quo it is quite natural that you will be more stressed, have more anxiety, and tend to be more neurotic. Not that there aren't very stable, serene, salt of the earth types on all sides, just that the worriers will be more common the further their preferred reality diverges from the actual one.

I feel like this map is missing something to tease apart systems that are not interchangeable in practice (UI state management vs database stuff).

Maybe persistent vs in-memory? Like whether the data is typically completely blown away and recomputed on page reload (e.g., ui state, dom trees, scene graphs).

Maybe, but billionaires shouldn’t exist even if they are philanthropic. There’s a reason Bill Gates is a household name and many other innovators are not, and it involves a lot of zeroes.

If you are going to be a billionaire, you surrender your life to being on the front page of the tabloids.

In my mind the only reason to continue working after making around $10 million is greed. Bill Gates himself cites his busy schedule as a detriment to the marriage. A guy that didn't need to work another day in his life if he didn’t want to since 20+ years ago!

Hot take: philanthropy is a tax avoidance scheme, even if it is helpful to the world. Billionaires and millionaires improve their image by getting to choose where their wealth goes, instead of being required to surrender wealth and have it be used the way that the people want through representative government.

In reality, you don’t become a billionaire without being ruthless, cut-throat, and a very big asshole.

>I'm always surprised that FAANG - or Big 4, excludes Microsoft...

Because the original context in 2013 of Jim Cramer popularizing "FANG" / "FAANG" was growth and even though Microsoft was already one of the biggest tech companies, their stock price wasn't really growing like the newer FANG.

Others later tried to revise the acronym to include Microsoft with variations like FANGAM -- but it doesn't seem to gain any popularity in internet discussions or mainstream media.

Generally speaking the people who are not tracked are part of marginalized groups (which is often why they weren't trying to engage in the first place and why government wanted nothing to do with them) that tend to have an on again off again somewhat abusive relationship with government.

Same as anything: tell her not to, teach her why it's important, and tell her that there will be repercussions and a loss of trust if she is caught breaking the rules, then kind of keep an eye on her. A certain level of deviance is normal and expected in children, and she will eventually be caught and punished.

My goal as a parent isn't to enforce a way of life with an iron fist, but to guide her and shape the way she lives her life while letting her learn about living it herself. I could install apps that monitor her usage, but I want to give her a sense of autonomy and freedom within a stable environment with clear expectations.
>What are the spammers getting out of them?

Yeah - I’m sure that would have been useful for you, but it doesn’t really compare to the wide array of accessibility options that exist across the system.

Also copying a pasting working across all text is often an anti-feature for accessibility too depending on what condition you are working with. For people who have trouble with fine motor control, it’s much easier to have only the content text selectable and not the controls.

There is no one-size fits all accessibility solution.

This seems to be a good argument for an accessibility option to make all text selectable, and nothing to do with dark patterns.

Natural diamonds are really cheap. You can go online right now and buy rough diamonds for $3.50/carat. Diamonds that you would want to put into a ring are much rarer and diamonds have all the qualities that jewelry enthusiasts want are rarer than that.

We need to start thinking about jewelry like hi-fi audio. If you just want to listen to good music then lord knows you don't need a $10k setup. You hit diminishing returns really fast and your untrained eye isn't gonna be able to tell the difference between a $500, $2,000, and $10,000 diamond -- they will all be pretty. But that doesn't mean that there aren't people who do notice and do care.
Dang! You can’t let this post stand. It goes counter to the true narrative.
Statute of limitation DOES apply to collection of debts

"For example, the statute of limitations for credit card debt in a few states may be as long as 10 years, but most states impose a period of three to six years. To determine the statute of limitations on different kinds of debts under each state's law, check with a legal aid lawyer, another attorney, or your State Attorney General's Office."

WTF Google Ads?
They're stored in law. Treaties define borders in (seemingly) unambiguous terms. Meridians, river beds and so. Problems arise when river beds move and everything becomes extremely ambiguous. In the worst case scenario you've got borders defined by older borders of poorly documented feudal holdings and it's up in the wind where the actual border ought to be. So states have to negotiate to redefine them in modern terms.

I can at least answer this for my 'Jamstack' product (I think it might be accidentally 'Jamstack', as I only recently found out that this refers to static pages with no DB etc).

I wanted to just have a sensible frontend for Hugo, with easily reusable components that are not React, etc.

So, your questions:

> how does the database fit into this?

The only DB we have is our own CMS, so that's keeping your user details and your site details. That's it. The websites the CMS produces go straight to Cloudflare as static sites. The files sit on our server and are manipulated directly from within the CMS.

> how does the 'Jamstack' compare to Wordpress or it doesn't?

We don't have themes, or drag and drop block-based editing. We use modules (basically components) that combine different ways of displaying text / imagery / video and can be stacked vertically into a static website. All of this runs a lot faster, as we don't have a super complex react frontend with a million loc of JS, but rather just some vanilla js sprinkled in here and there to keep things a bit dynamic. Also works really well on mobile, which Wordpress doesn't do all that well I don't think. Makes it a lot easier to represent site structure visually imo

> how does content get edited in the 'Jamstack' like Wordpress?

A bunch of json files / go html templates fed into Hugo, which compiles a static site. These json files are of course represented in a very visually appealing (I hope at least) way. The whole point of the CMS is to keep all technical concerns far, far away from users.

> how is the 'Jamstack' 'mainstream'? compared to what?

I am not sure it is. Everyone I've so far spoken to is only aware of Squarespace, Wordpress (they claim they're 40% of the web), Wix, or the site builders that come with 123reg or Godaddy. And almost nobody seems to like them, which is a real shame. I think that entire sector has failed to enable laypeople to make websites. I hope to somehow be able to rectify that.

> why do I have to use Git to use the 'Jamstack'?

I think it's for CI (continuous integration) convenience. The problem is that only developers understand how this works. We actually started out deploying to Netlify via git, but the process was too slow and brittle (often webhooks wouldn't work).
Thus, we just deploy static sites directly to Cloudflare workers sites. No git involved. Netlify also supports .zip file deployments FWIW.

Of course. They are using some modulo arithmetic:
1. Start from the rightmost digit (i.e. check digit)
2. Multiply every second digit by 2 (i.e. digit at even positions)
3. If the result in step 2 is more than one digit, add them up (E.g. 12: 1+2 = 3)
4. Add the resulting digits to digits at the odd positions

I follow your approach too. I think of the "interesting" tabs I open, I maybe visit 50% in the end.

To be honest, the other 50% that I open, never read and then close at the end of the day? Never really missed something truly important, and not reading did not negatively impact my life...

I try to accept that there are just 24 hours in a day, and every second more than 24 hour of interesting content is created, so there's no way to digest it all. Most days, it's working :-)

I'd be very surprised if many true libertarians supported Georgist principles. Georgists are all about socializing land, and other efforts include Community Land Trusts, social housing, and other ways to make sure that markets result in fair outcomes. The difference is in prioritizing the well-being of people rather than the primacy of markets or "freedom from government" style libertarianism.

Both Next.JS and Gatsby are so so fast with HMR, I really am not sure how they achieve that with Webpack. I have a few apps that are bootstrapped with Webpack and things like hot reloading take a few seconds, with Next or Gatsby it's instant.

Social signaling and innate competitiveness is a hell of a drug. A former all-Linux employer had standardized on issuing Dell laptops, and everything was fine. Until some joiner in middle/lower management petitioned for a Macbook Pro and got it, and a couple more popped up in the Excel-jockey stratum, and the floodgates were opened. PMs and team leads all started to report all sorts of "problems" with their old laptops (too slow, gets too hot) to motivate for replacements - thought they had to run Linux VMs to get any work done. The Dell/Apple laptops weren't just tools anymore - they were now a social signal/status symbol to say "I am an important person" in every meeting room. It was fascinating to observe, because getting a Macbook made their lives worse (having to develop in a VM with slow disk I/O - this was before docker took over the world). Computers became the visible representation of your place on the totem pole; the same thing happens with engagement rings within social circles when going for drinks/brunch. You don't want to be caught dead with the Dell of engagement rings in a room full of Macs.
