That must be some kind of joke on their side because e. g. Michael Jackon’s Thriller was released in CS in 1984 by Supraphon (LP monopoly at the time).

Access to the west music was certainly limited but not impossible, due to proximity to Austria and Germany it was very easy to watch and listen to their stations and as described above, some LPs were even released in CS. I remember drooling over Depeche Mode’s Music For The Masses back in cca 1988 but it was above may pocket money-grade.

But I’m talking about the eighties when the gerontocracy was unable to deal with people’s desires, the regime was certainly much tougher in 70’s.
The Kingship is a red herring. He just needs a bus with Chaucer's face above the words "The Ol' English of the Great British Empire" and a media campaign with pithy slogans like "Time to get on with English" and "English means English!"
There is evidence. I feel people started using "without evidence" as "I disagree with it" lately and it's just wrong. The evidence is outlined in the article and supported by my prior knowledge of how woke education works and what Reason is. I can not independently experience and evaluate everything in the world, so for some things I must rely on trusting other people to deliver the information. Reason is not perfect but usually reliable enough to not distort the information beyond recognition. So, if in a particular case it is claimed that they got it wrong, I'd like at least specific information about what they got wrong and why I should change my mind about them. Just saying "oh it's all wrong" and dumping link to a gigabyte of dense bureaucratic language is not going to convince anybody. Reason did the work of sifting through it and refining the conclusions. Maybe they did it wrong, in this case the right thing is to point out the mistakes, not to say "it's all just wrong, but I won't tell you where".
This entire endeavor sounds like a terrible attempt at retrofitting the thinking behind DNS as a physical address scheme. (IP addresses somehow being hard to remember, {but phone numbers never seemed to have that problem} lets use dictionary words [creating a speculation market] instead!)

Hopefully not children. Harried adults I'd rather see just use GPS coordinates. If you've got a phone capable of doing these lookups, then you've got both GPS and inertial navigation capability. Things like N/S are going to be implied based on where you're actually calling. If you're crank calling other jurisdictions, please don't. Furthermore, once you've got the operator homing in on grid, then they can provide further detail about your location (sometimes) for further verification.

I am not the OP, but still, "Biden is known to misspeak frequently" is an exceedingly charitable way to say "He's a gaffe machine." Stutters and similar disorders have nothing to do with it.

Demand is also "artificially" driven up by the American diet and lifestyle.

If the preventables (e.g., Type 2 Diabetes) were prevented, otherwise mitigated (less sugar!) then the resources / system could focus on real disease.

The issue with the USA is it wants its cake, it wants to eat it, and expects to pay less for consistently making unhealthy choices.
The code I write is going to be used for 20-30 years, and then when the platform is replaced I assume someone will read the code to see what they have to do to get the system working on the new platform. I have documentation for end-users and documentation for maintenance / troubleshooters and zoomed out documentation that explains the problems and approaches taken, and sometimes justifying any tradeoffs.

If code is temporary then it might not be worth the effort to document, but my documentation is what everybody except one person 20 years from now sees along with the user interface, so for my application the code doesn’t matter and the documentation matters quite a bit!

If they're really interested in talking about how agile they are, the signal to me is that this is a management-run company, not an engineer-run company.

Plenty of engineer-run shops are lowercase a agile, but it's not something they bring up constantly.
I get really annoyed when folks like Gates, Bezos, Bloomberg, etc. trumpet all of the money they've donated to charity efforts (that conveniently often end up putting their name all over the place for extra mindshare/reputation). Of course it's amazing that these folks donate billions of dollars! But they also hoard tens of billions of dollars in investment accounts, stock, multiple homes... so is it really much of a sacrifice?
There's actually an interesting Bible passage on this very subject:

"20:45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,
'Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets.
They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. Such men will be punished most severely.'
21:1 As he looked up, Jesus saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury.
He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins.
'I tell you the truth,' he said, 'this poor widow has put in more than all the others.
All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.'" (Luke 20:45-21:4, NIV)

Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think htop can do things like: list every process which opened a certain file for read, how much bytes have been read at which offset in each case and how the threads stack frames locked like at the time. Then revert that filter and follow some hint to some other events, e.g. what network operations did a certain process do in a certain period of time.

In reality the whole debacle was astroturfed from both sides, one side just did it better. The pro “net neutrality” movement was funded by google and Netflix and promoted laughable propaganda such as:

Give me a break. There were no “good guys” in this debate, just corporations scrambling to control the popular narrative to suit their business interests.
The post above has a list of companies who build on top of such a decentral permission-less system that apparently has no benefits.

Start with coil.com what they do it not possible with the financial system. They enable users to stream money to content creator in real time with fractions of cents per second.
A central system would not make any sense. It must be p2p and there must be a ledger to "settle the transactions"

Its not impossible to make it central it just not lucrative in any way. But if the middlemen is removed it doesn't have to be lucrative for that middlemen anymore and it turns out to be almost free because you just need to send p2p data packages to stream money.

Its called interledger protocol (ILP) its not a blockchain its a protocol but like I said above you need to settle somehow and which bank or financial system lets you settle fractions of cents? No one because there is no money to be made from this so a system that does not generate money for the owner (a decentral system) works best.
Oh, I don't mean the tool called Slack. I mean slack as in having some time and space to work on things, and also not having work too specified ahead of time. When things are broken down into tickets, it's hard to feel like you're making decisions on the ground level about what to do.

Rest of the world, yes. Rest of the developed world, not at all. The major difference is that becoming a doc in the US is much more expensive than pretty much anywhere else. You could also argue it's proportionally harder because of the more numerous competitors. But on an absolute level of knowledge and capability no, it's not harder than say, in western european countries.

That gets tricky. But at the least it would help me not see radicalized ads when I am generally searching. And that doesn't mean ads based on my search either.

Yes it doesn't drive as much engagement, but that's the point. Over-optimizing for engagement is a bad thing. We have seen repeated evidence of this.

There should be general overarching categories: News site, food site, movie site, game site. But not "news site for radical right-wingers who believe in tucker carlson and think gun control is communism" which doesn't really require user tracking, but I think still falls on the bad side of things.

"Is a kid" is interesting. There's literally laws to prevent children from receiving too much advertising on TV _for good reasons_ their brains aren't developed enough to counter it. But on the internet? ANYTHING GOES!

Well, there is a pin on a yubikey[0], but I just meant I don't think it's totally necessary, and I'm not sure exactly when it's required.

> but all of my online/digital properties as well (assuming passwords become a thing of the past)

For sure, and that's definitely not a threat to take lightly - another thing to consider would be when the attacker is someone who inherently has physical access to you (say an abusive partner, parent, etc).

You're totally right that a password can, at least to some extent, help in these situations. Like I said, I still see a use case for the password, it's just that the scope would change - like how password managers only require you to remember one single password, and that password is essentially only used in one place. This really reduces the risk of phishing.

> If they have my phone which has Touch/Face ID enabled, that poses a much more significant challenge to an attacker (and can maybe be mitigated if I can remote wipe the device in time).

Yeah, agreed - I think biometrics can definitely be a key part of how we get to a password-less world. There's other stuff too, like if the attacker has your key, but they're logging in from a new device, maybe it asks for some other verification like a biometric, or even a password / pin - but now the password again is taking a very different, much more limited role.

All I'm really saying is that the current way things work is pretty bad. Passwords get forgotten, guessed, stolen, reused, phished, etc. Using a device solves those problems really well, and while it does have its caveats, I think the caveats are largely addressable.

Several years ago, I lived in a country where I had high-deductible private insurance in lieu of the (then relatively new) national healthcare plan.

I was able to walk into a fairly large hospital, get a full battery of tests along with a thankfully minor diagnosis and medication for a small amount of money paid up front. The bill was itemized, translated, and I received excellent customer service.

Sooo... it seems like you've got it all figured out. But from the bitterness in your voice, it doesn't seem to be the case.

I remember being at a similar point in my life - the success of other people seemed so different from mine that the game definitely felt like it was rigged. And of course it was rigged to some extent given the human nature, but there truly is a way to take advantage of the parts of the game that are a more of a level playing field than anything we've ever experienced since the dawn of humanity. And the first step towards getting there is to be less bitter and more inquisitive. If you think you got the VC industry all figured out but you can't get it to work in your favor, then clearly there's a mismatch in your thinking.
Yes you are correct. I should amend my previous statement.

>It was only afterwards that evidence of holocaust was verified and/or believed.*

The reports from the Polish government in exile did not make front page news. I'd still stand by the earlier statement:

> Saving the Jews was not on any country's radar entering WWII.

You might argue that Poland wanted to save the Jews, but at the point that reports of mass murder were coming out of Germany in 1941, the Polish government no longer had a country to manage. They had exited WWII as losers.

Reports of mass murder of Jews weren't verified by the USG until 1942. I would still argue that saving the Jews did not even crack the top 10 reasons for the USG invading Europe. After all, they verified these reports and still waited 2 years before making landfall.

Why didn't Babylon industrialize? Or China or Egypt or Persia or India or Ethiopia or the Inca or the Greeks or Romans or Arabs or Nubians or Zulu or Mississippians or Ottomans or or or or or.

North-West Europeans did what we did because we chose to do the things necessary and others didn't. The only purpose of environmental determinism is to muddy the waters. If Africans had invented electricity and someone used specious arguments to belittle Africans by saying their accomplishment was nothing special because industrialization was inevitable in Africa because of how much rainfall they get you and I would recognize how racially motivated that is.
I don't know how residencies could not be profitable for hospitals. Hospitals receive something like $120k/yr per resident, then work residents 80+ hours/week at $50k/yr pay, amounting to right around minimum wage (for my city). Residents do a tremendous amount of work in supporting the hospital, so much so that a single resident getting deathly ill and needing to stay home (e.g a surgery resident getting covid, which I witnessed) is enough to send a massive shock through a hospital and force other residents into 100+ hr/week schedules. I know this because my wife is a surgery resident and I'm describing a situation from this year.

Edit: But there are still way too few residency spots. I think it has to do with the difficulty and administrative work around starting a new program or with getting federal funding for more spots.
"twitter: couldn't you just not? Isn't that just a worse version of what we can already do??"

This is correct though. Twitter is not a good idea, or a good product (if your metric for good is being useful and improving lives, rather than simply profit). Twitter succeeded because it became a "meme": everyone was caught up in what it could be. By the time it became clear that all the things it could be were bad, it was too late: too many people were on the platform, and their gravitational pull could keep things going indefinitely. Twitter, like a lot of recent "ideas" in tech, is a cake that's all frosting. It runs almost entirely on FOMO.
A smaller release. The most notable thing is probably the update to LLVM 12.

One things I wonder about is why newly stabilized functions like char::from_u32 aren't const fn from the start. I get when existing functions have to be made const after the fact, but to me it feels that new functions should be stabilized already as const unless there is a good reason they can't be (e.g. they allocate).

> Furthermore, most/many user-provided rich-text applications use a DSL like Markdown which sidesteps the need for sanitization, so you can use escaping for these cases as well.

Markdown does not side-step the need for sanitization. You can embed HTML inside markdown, so you actually need sanitization for exactly the use case of rendering markdown on the client.
I’m curious if you got this idea from the famous HN comment about Dropbox.
> the restricting of doctor supply via the residency bottleneck

Assuming that you're referring to the AMA here, their role is pretty unclear to me. They appear to have played a lobbying role to get Congress to freeze residency funding in 1997 to avoid having lots of doctors [1], but for several years now, the AMA has at least publicly claimed that they've been lobbying congress to increase funding for residency slots [2]. Maybe they're lying? But I for one don't actually know who is keeping residency funding low.
