Half America hands it’s brain to one party, the other half to the other party. Many problems stem from this.
I don't understand what point they're trying to make.

What I already knew:

The Big Bang happened everywhere at once.

The expansion of the universe is accelerating and will ultimately die in a Big Rip.

The total universe is presently about the size of 390 - 1.5e7 observable universes (Hubbles).

The total universe likely has a flat and open geometry.

Free will, like religion, is a human psychological construction opiate to distract from the limits of existence.

I don't like the macOS-style global menu, it gets confusing when you have multiple windows open on the screen. But I do agree that a menubar is a great option for a lot of applications.

That being said there are also a lot of applications where the menu is used rarely enough that exposing the first level of menus isn't worth the screen space. In this case I think a hamburger menu is fine. For example in Firefox I rarely use the menu. Most things I do are keyboard shortcuts, or the couple of things I have moved to the toolbar. And I often wish I could see more at the same time. I think the main issue with Firefox is that the menu is basically impossible for a new user to find. I believe the only ways to bring it up (on Linux at least) is tapping Alt or Alt-<m> where m is a mnemonic that you would have needed to see the menu before to know. I guess this is their way of slowing killing it off in favour of their hamburger menu, but I find the hamburger menu has way less options and is way harder to browse. It feels more like a place for frequent options rather than a full menu. As much hate as there is for 3-level menus the actual browsing UX was quite good.
Please don't abuse the phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants." It's the difference between riffing off a work of art to produce something novel versus plagiarism. What China does is the latter, not the former. It's not "standing on the shoulders of giants."

And in this case it's worse: China's government is engaged in a genocide and empire building at least as bad as any colonial power in the West, and likely worse due to its extremely oppressive, authoritarian nature. Their achievements are not only built on theft of others' hard work, but on the backs of the oppressed people that have guns pointed at their heads.

> Personally I hope that humanity can come together to have more collaborations on space, given it will be the only hope if something happens to Earth.

I do, too. But China isn't going to contribute to that: they'd rather let others do the hard work and then steal it. It's not a bad strategy in some respects. But it's not respectable or good in any meaningful sense as it applies to a shared endeavor such as you describe.
I am wondering why do more companies are still doing Covid-19 vaccine trials when there are already successful vaccines in the market and already being widely used? What is the gain to company?
No excuse for it. It's corruption.

I vehemently refuse to pay for YouTube Premium for that exact reason. I get ads that amount to something like "You know how we just stuff ads down your eyeballs constantly? You know how it's really annoying? For just X.99 a month, we'll no longer do that!"

These enrage me to the core. Now that I have NewPipe and other methods of watching YouTube without ads and artificially freezing the stream when I switch away from the app, the official app is useless.

I hate ads, but if we’re discussing the merits of a specific ad platform we sort of need to accept ads in general. Otherwise the discussion is pretty meaningless. Presumably OP means that Apple’s search ads are worse than others.
Columbus is weird. It’s simultaneously one big city but also has many other independent local governments working within it that split tax revenue with the city itself. Most of the suburbs surrounding the city have an arrangement like this but they also have their own city government, police, schools, etc.
It's not that uncommon, actually.

In The Netherlands, both running a lottery and running a physical casinos are reserved for two state-owned companies. By law, half of the profit goes to charity. The rest goes to the government.

In Sweden, the government-owned liquor chain Systembolaget is the only one allowed to sell stuff containing more than 3.5% alcohol. Norway has basically the same thing going on.

The idea is that things like gambling and alcohol consumption have an overall negative impact on society, but completely banning them will cause even more harm. Having a state monopoly makes it easier to promote safe and moderate consumption, as no profit is required and criminal figures are kept out - at least in theory.
Same thing happened with marijuana.

"If there's not enough demand..."

Demand is not that simple. There could be tons of latent demand and the internet seems to be one of those things that seems to show induced demand as well. People are incredibly adaptive and may be working around the problem of crappy internet one way or another.

If there was just straight up "demand", these near-monopoly ISPs form a market of "you can't vote for whoever you want as long as I get to choose the candidate" type systems. That does not a healthy market make and supply/demand do not work out like it does in econ 101 textbooks in unhealthy markets.

What if the argument was simply that NATO powers went to war over false pretenses in Libya just like they did in Iraq (Where WMD?) and so many countries before.

I am Canadian and I remember when we would send peacekeepers to stabilize a country under the name of the UN. In this case the UN authorized a nofly zone. Western powers took that as their opportunity to bomb Libya into the stone age and before the NATO-backed rebels were even in power they immediately established a central bank linked to the bank of international settlements [1].

Instead of installing peacekeepers to stabilize the region, once the “dictator” was disemboweled (instead of facing a fair trial) NATO powers left the country to it’s own devices. Shortly after the country devolved to the point where open air slave markets are a thing in the 21st century. Thanks NATO! [2] I would argue if a group of nations violently overthrow a government, then they are responsible for the consequences.

As such the US, Canada, France, UK, and Italy all have the blood of slaves on their hands in Libya. Curious how the mainstream news so rarely connects the dots on that one.

>“It’s a lie, but it’s fun.”

Taken alone this quote is frightening. A man seemingly died because an officer thought it was acceptable to play this ruse, that could have (and did this time) devastating effects.
Most Americans are grossly underpaid. The subject of pay has no bearing on this article, or the parent comment, though.

Edit: Reading comprehension issue on my part...I wrote this comment before my first cup of coffee. As others have pointed out, the parent comment does mention pay, and I was wrong about the parent comment. I stand by the core message in my comment about pay in general, but clearly I missed the mark here.
It might be because pi isn’t infinite in practice. E.g. we could use all the available energy in the universe and only calculate up to a finite digit (ignoring the information storage issue!).

Whether the abstract infinite pi ‘exists’ is up for metaphysical debate :)

I m French but I live in China, here it's reported like the second coming of Mao.

It's incredible luck it synchronized near perfectly with the 100 anniversary of the party "without which there would be no new China".
I vaguely remember trying this out, back in the days of Frontpage and dialup, before I settled on Notepad for editing HTML. I'm a little surprised that it was a going concern all the way up to 2012, and a little disappointed that it didn't keep going. Is anyone still working on WYSIWYG HTML editors, or is the segment completely dead?

This one is interesting: "Take pleasure in writing more code".

I agree with the author's reasoning that the number of lines of code you write is meaningless and not something you should hold up with pride, but there is a flipside to that: when you get to a certain amount of experience, code verbosity is usually a good thing.

At some point when learning, many programmers become good enough at thinking in code that they become able to express everything in incredibly terse one-liners. This is when they start using ternary operators everywhere instead of if statements, or very obscure functional map/reduces instead of simple for loops.

Being able to write like this is obviously good, but that doesn't mean you should do it: just because you can cram everything into one line/statement, doesn't mean you should. This gig is not just about writing clever code, it's about writing code that others can read (as well as yourself, six months later) and reason about and debug easily.

Writing understandable code is not always the same as writing more verbose code, but the two are certainly correlated.
Yes, for sure. I think if you look at Gleam as an alternative to PureScript or similar it's not a very exciting proposition. There's a lot of good options here.

This is more an exciting new feature for people who are already using Gleam, they can now do more with the language.
It's literally the easiest scare piece you can write.

I expect to eventually browsers be split into users and developer editions, with the tooling only available on developer edition.

Actually I am quite surprised that it hasn't happened yet.
You're not wrong but I think the end result of really depends on the state or city. Government isn't actually accountable if the voters don't hold the politicians accountable for the actions of the bureaucracy.

In my area any government service or department always accumulates over time all sorts of backhanded ways to manipulate the poor, ostensibly for their own good by proxy of societal good (which is basically just a charitable way of saying "forcing them to act the way a bunch of jerks with million dollar homes think they should"). It's not quite to the level of "unpaid parking tickets get your house skipped by the trash guys" but every year there's yet another "scandal" where they get caught pushing that kind of envelope and have to promise not to do it again.

Private industry here is a little more trustworthy in the "won't abuse you" regard. Of course they'll try to screw you out of every penny you have but that's pretty much where it begins and ends. Whereas with government there are all sorts of aspects they care about.
Since I switched from ASP to PHP (2008), I avoided file extensions in page URI in most cases, and instead placed every page into its own folder.
This is compatible with every web server without using rewrite rules.

When I switched from PHP to static generators (2017), most URIs continued working without redirects.
Interesting example they chose there. It requires no fewer than three deus ex machinas: apply this trick, then apply this very particular substitution, then find another substitution. If you encountered this integral in the wild without knowing whether/how it can be solved, yes you might have tried the trick, but you wouldn't realize that it had gotten you anywhere. Would you continue on and find the just-so substitutions, or would you backtrack and try something else?

It's great that we have the tricks we have, but at the same time most nontrivial integrals are just impenetrable regardless. Any demonstration of integration techniques you find will be on an integrand that is amenable to these techniques, and will only show the straight path to the solution, not the process of finding that path. I hate integrals!
You have to wonder if this is new, or if society has been pressuring 25% of people in to having kids they didn't really want until recently.
Deception is a technique often used during interragation. This leads to MANY issues including false confessions. Illinois at least recently passed a law disallowing police to lie to minors (https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/31/us/Chicago-police-interro...) but that leads to the question of why is it not okay to lie to minors but it is okay to lie to the handicapped, mentally ill, the elderly or even an adult with full mental capacity (whatever that means)?
Good distinction. But that conflation is exactly the purpose of contemporary use of the word "orientalism". It makes it impossible for Westerners to engage with these cultures while maintaining social or aesthetic acceptability; intentionally, the only option left open is to sit down and shut up.
That's cool, but wasn't the Renaissance having masters teach kids from very early age their art intensively every day. Youtube is a poor substitute for that kind of learning, since most videos don't go into in-depth and don't provide critical feedback to the pupil.

Agreed. Some of my early code is near unreadable due to the complexity that I've since pared down on how much a single line should be doing.

I think about dreaming more like a movie stage where there is a limited space but within that limited space one can be tricked into seeing an entire Star Trek Universe.

So I think the mind is pretty good at making us think it simulates all the particles and light and physics.
I'm not convinced that argument makes sense in this context, they want you to plug the thing in. They're not trying to filter for gullibility, they want to be as convincing as possible.
it means it is better for Amazon to lose some sales to promote something else.
It isn't just police, people who feel like they are in authority have always used the lie to achieve specific outcomes. I have observed it often enough that I simply do not trust words from people in authority and I have to observe if their actions correlate with their words.
I imagine that most people saying "CoC" out loud are not saying "cock", instead either "Code of conduct", or "cee oh cee".
Are you referring to the billionaires who vote Republican because they believe it benefits their personal financial situation and they don't care about anyone else's? Or is there some other type of person who actually benefits under the sorts of policies like this that the GOP has been pushing for the last 50 years?
> It is overwhelming [1] in scale very ugly

I agree it's indeed pretty ugly, but if you want to destroy every building looking that ugly, you will have to tear down half the cities in Europe -- and probably also many other places.

Honestly, without the written cyrillic, this could be many places in e.g. France or Italy.
Do you really think that data from the VR headset is worth $300 (or more)? I'm skeptical that it's worth that much unless they are jacked in every waking moment.
That makes sense but I don't know if you can really draw a parallel between email and these devices:

(1) Sending email is nearly free, creating devices is not. Not sure if the economics match.

(2) False positive filtering matter because spammer need to manually reply to emails, creating more work. But with these devices this is not the case, it's all automated. There is no need to filter out smart people.

I’ve wondered recently whether the brain can be represented by a Turing machine if our computation mechanisms utilize something like back propagation through time via quantum effects.

I love the developer-friendliness of Elixir syntax and the robustness + power of the Erlang VM. However, I really miss the type system and cool mathy things of Haskell (eta reduction for example).

Is there a language on the BEAM that has strong functional features of Haskell?
There are still some commercial offerings, but yeah sadly that is the spirit.

At least those of us on .NET, Java, Swift, Delphi, C++ Builder get a small taste of how the future might have been instead.
Apple seems like another case of the same thing?

But in this case they already put a lot of effort into it? ie. they made the fake device, packaged it with shrinkwrap, and paid for shipping. The only thing left is for the victim to enter the seed, which requires zero effort on their part.
More than the Cold War the US-China situation is looking more like the US-Japan relationship before World War 2.
How is it cynical? They are all voting for it and so they all support it.
I think you're talking about something completely different now.

I was just picking on your line about going from the "old answer" that the earth was 6000 years old to the "new answer" of science-based reasoning. I didn't mean to come across as confrontational—like I said, just going on a tangent.

So I'm saying that timeline never happened. Animism and universal consciousness, various planes of existence and dimensional properties are concepts that appear to stretch throughout human history. Most leadership participated on a more esoteric level of mysticism throughout human history (even if they themselves didn't fully grasp it). Dogmatic religion was a convenient teaching tool that grew to overpower its creators and operate on its own accord (another tangent). It's best not to mix up its use as a allegorical teaching tool and tool of exercising power and what humans at large have considered a well-considered cosmological model—something that hasn't really fundamentally changed, even with the aid of science. And not out of ignorance, but that sciences like physics have even hinted at some of the old models being consistent. Enough so that it made some real interesting characters out of people who had a sound grasp of chemistry and quantum theories like Jack Parsons who could never extricate the old models with his own growing understanding, even if it was not accurate or complete. It's pretty fascinating to read about.

Has anyone else noticed that lying has just become commonplace nowadays?

People will just lie to make their lives easier.

In one day, I counted and was given like 3 lies from people in businesses. I mean they MAY have not know they were lying but these are relatively smart people who were making simple lies that just about anyone would know were lies.

And why they were lying was understandable, they just didn't want to discuss things with the customer, but still this idea of lying to make life easier doesn't sit well with me.
