You sure are doing a lot of not understanding in here. Let me break it down for you: the vast majority of people who say things like "trust the science" don't have the first clue about what the science actually says. It's a dogmatically held belief to them.

That isn't to say that the problem does not occur in other types, or that they're wrong about what they believe just because they don't understand it.
Interesting argument, that IT can be too agile. Yet what he's complaining about is broken shopping card programs, which is a failure of test and error recovery.

The title is somewhat deceptive. Maybe should be "Broken shopping carts lose customers", but that would get less clicks.

You've sort of encapsulated a large part of my underlying philosophy there... that computing evolution has stagnated because of a loss of motivation to take on the hard problem of making complexity accessible. I like to think that everything I write sort of converges on that idea, but I don't tend to say it outright because it's difficult to fully explain and last time I edged too close to it I got more angry emails than when I spoke ill of RMS.

The smaller ones don't need power, they need the threat of gaining power.

If the Greens have a policy that will get people to vote for them, then the Labor party has to pick that up as well or start haemorrhaging preferences. Ditto the Liberals and various lobbies like One Nation.

It is extremely difficult for the major Australian parties to ignore a minor party that has better policies. Although the majors are stable as a brand, the actual policy mix and strategy is quite dynamic and influenced by the minors.
> The range of permissible debate is quite narrow in reality

What? Christian apologetics meets atheists, Satanists, Darwinists, whoever. I don't even know how restricting apologetics to a very narrow permissible debate would work, unless like the MSM one can control which opponent gets on the mic.

Christians enforce a narrow range of theological divergence acceptable as orthodox, but that is not apologetics.

> You're basically defining all belief as religious belief

No he isn't. He's defining humans as religious, and observing that the absence of affiliation with a major organized religion doesn't change this.

I live in a Communist country in which the Party sometimes explicitly substitutes for a church. In the USA, congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, which means that naturally a state church will evolve that denies being a state church -- both the "state" and "church" parts. Humans being both religious and hierarchical, it's often tricky to determine whether state is running church or vice versa. The ball is always under the other cup.

If you dare, I'm sure you can think of a few recently-invented blasphemies which if violated would result in censure of a progressively more official nature. Whoever can hunt witches, holds the pulpit, even if it comes with a press badge rather than a funny hat.

the thing is that elevators are these days way more complex than anybody would even imagine, but the thing also is that there are no tutorials given to people who use them. Also extra features cost extra money and building owners usually just want the very basic stuff for residentals.

It doesn't sound difficult to me. It has nothing to do with whiteness and maleness; it's about political power. If there is a group that is a dominant political power, it's the same thing. That's why issues of 'reverse racism' are a different problem: Discrimination is about power, not race. If American Buddhists are discriminatory against Baptists, it's obnoxious but not an issue of oppression or much threat to Baptists, because it lacks power.

Of course, that's generalized: It will play out in different ways, in different places, among different people, in different times. In the U.S., it's different in Mississippi and Chicago, different today and tomorrow.

Are they really "radical", or is that merely a pejorative attached to 'progressive'? In what way are they radical? Lots of groups want change, many want big change; the progressives aren't even the leaders in 'big change' these days.

This is very good advice for all systems. First try to describe the domain before implementing the user interface.
I mean you aren't wrong, but also this is all logic tha has existed in elevators for decades, but if your building owner just slaps a piece of paper artificially creating a limit the elevator system won't be aware of it. On other hand they could have made an configuration order and paid to change the behavior of the elevator, to reduce its capacity. Then it wouldn't make extra stops since it would know that it is at max capacity.

In addition to all the valid reasons given. There's another consideration in that VCs aren't only in it for the money.

I'm concerned of both aspects. For one, thinking that secular belief is essential or natural – as if it's defined only by the material world and observations on it. Secular belief also assumes its universal (why wouldn't it be since we all live on the same earth). This leads to totalitarianism (with a small t)
I'm trying to connect the dots in a logical way. How else does one arrive at a logical conclusion?

You seem to draw a distinction between the British conquests (which you refer to as "land theft") and the native conquests (which you do not label as "land theft") and I'm trying to figure out why.

You seem to be fall for the myth of the "noble savage"[1]. The myth is basically that before the white man arrived, the natives lived in some "natural, uncorrupted" form of life that was inherently superior. This is a myth.

At least with some native American Indians, conquests involved things like rape, slavery and the murder of non-combatants. And warfare not because of some dire need for resources, but rather just for conquests sake.

So I would argue that what the British did is not exactly unique (except for the breadth of it) and thus doesn't deserve a label of "land theft" unless you're willing to apply that with any type of conquest and in that sense, it's a pointless distinction.

I don't see the bizarre part. Wikipedia says Barron was born in 1927 when we were still figuring out the basics of aviation, and just a few decades later he was making these plans in the midst of the space race. Considering the rate of progress he had witnessed in his time, it's not very surprising that he expected us to aggressively colonize space in his lifetime.

Maybe I have overly romanticized notions of what could have been, but I feel like humanity lost out big time when the space shuttle was chosen over a manned mission to Mars.
You misunderstood! In my code, all arithmetic is performed with 64-bit unsigned integers.

The "trick" is a type whose size is zero bytes. If T is size zero, Vec<T> does not allocate any memory: it just keeps a count. You can make a Vec<()> with usize::max() for free, if you can finesse the compiler.

The binary search itself does not access any memory: it's just pure arithmetic, and it overflows.

America provides the means by which political culture flows, such as via Twitter and Facebook, but remember that a significant portion (of unknown size to me) of American social media rhetoric is imported. Where did trolling, nationalism, troll farms, hate speech, nihilism, mass-scale disinformation - where did each of those originate?

I'm not implying an answer, by the way. I don't know; is there any research? My point is that there is no reason to believe any or all began in the U.S. We know at least about troll farms exporting rhetoric to the U.S., and that many of the ideas and rhetorical styles were more popular in places outside the U.S. before social media (such as inflammatory anti-immigrant rhetoric).

Possibly, whoever exported them to the U.S. also exported them to other places. There is some evidence: We can see the rise of similar politics, especially right-wing populist nationalism, in many countries approximately simultaneously, including India, China, Europe, Russia, South America, the U.S., and many more. That wasn't popular politics 20 years ago.

> I don’t care that someone has well over 5 orders of magnitude more wealth than I have. It doesn’t materially negatively affect my life in the least and, on the contrary, their inventions make my daily life better by wildly more than any negative impacts their houses, yachts, airplanes, or rockets could possibly have.

Wait, are you under the impression that people with extreme wealth typically got it by inventing something?

It's called capitalism because the owners of capital reap most of society's economic rewards. Which is in the form of more capital.

IOW, the rich get richer.

The optimal wealth investment strategy to grow a large pile of money into a larger pile over the long term is pretty simple too (rebalance your portfolio annually, buy and hold), and attempts at a 'smarter' strategy tend to fail pretty miserably.

The American story used to be rags-to-riches-to-rags, but not anymore. These days once you've reached 'riches' your descendants are fairly likely to stay rich, and laziness on their part (ie. leaving the money pile on autopilot) is actually an asset (eg. Donald Trump would be a wealthier today if he had invested his inheritance and just left it alone).

Conversely, it is harder than ever to go from rags-to-riches in the first place.

You do not benefit from the wealthy in society pulling the ladder up behind themselves.

Would a manned Mars mission really have been feasible? Is it feasible now? I have no idea, myself.

See my response to tonymet upthread.

> Even most scientific theories people believe, they haven't examined and are incapable of following their theories and experiements personally - they were just being told they are truth and they trust it to be so.

For some theories that are called "scientific", yes, this is true--but that's because the scientists themselves don't have a track record of correct experimental predictions to begin with. (String theory, for example.)

But for theories like, say, General Relativity, there is a huge track record of correct experimental predictions, and those predictions include things in our everyday experience now, like GPS. It's true that most people cannot verify for themselves the entire chain of reasoning that leads from the Einstein Field Equation to how their GPS device works, but they know that GPS works from their personal experience, so they know that whatever theory scientists are using to make GPS work, works. They don't have to take that on trust.

In other words, for scientific theories that actually have practical impacts, you don't have to just accept what scientists say on trust; you can look at their track record of correct predictions.
