I think this is a true cause of a lot of people leaving jobs. The company I work for has grown revenue 50% during the pandemic, but has only hired maybe 10% more people. So now I have 1.5 full time jobs and hate it, but I can't complain because I see that my coworkers are working 2-3 full time jobs.

It's easier to quit. The raise is nice, but the normal workload is much nicer.

> I would be shocked if 60+% of American film characters are identifiably Christian

How often do you see Christmas used as a plot device? Or a church used as a setting? Or a priest character?

I would be shocked if context didn't imply that > 95% of American film characters are Christian.
So how long until Freenode starts faking user numbers to look better?
It does create some interesting security implications that I hope get addressed properly. But I think you are not seeing its potential.

As someone who dabbles with Arduino I actually do want USB support. I don’t particularly like installing everything but the kitchen sink on my desktop via homebrew just to get a decent development environment going. (Last time I tried it, the Python install failed because homebrew doesn’t support the OS version I’m running. I really dislike homebrew.)

Running embedded development in a browser and just giving access to a certain USB device would be an improvement, letting you do it on any machine or even a Chromebook. It’s going to take a long time to get there but I can see it being useful someday.
I went the other way: I started by outright refusing to label or identify myself politically and picking opinions a la carte, and over time most of my opinions on the things I care most about tended to converge on one political ideology, so I've started to generally identify with that ideology as a result. There's notable exceptions, which I do keep in mind, but they tend to be just exceptions.

(Of course, even then it's not simple. There's also party infighting, subparties, etc, so even if my opinion on "what the issue is" lines up, my opinion on "what the solution is" might not.)

Edit: another complication is strength of conviction. For example, standard American left/right dichotomy comes with very strong conviction about guns. I have very very weak conviction about guns. Even though I tend to agree with my ideologies' opinion on what should be done about gun control, I don't really care that much either way whether there's no gun control or super strict gun control. So while I do "identify" as my ideology here, there's clearly a disconnect from the mainstream form of it.
Re to mLuby: you don’t have to work in infosec to be worried about it.
That doesn't make nuclear any more feasible.

Hinkley Point C is estimated to cost $32.5 bn and is expected to take 18y from go-ahead till operation. You'd need 15 NPPs of the same class to satisfy the UK's electricity demand at close to 100% utilization ratio. That's $4.9tn or 150% of the UK's GDP, just in capex. And there's no way EDF could simply build 15 of the things till 2030 or 2050 or whatever our climate goals for decarbonisation demand.

And please don't reply with "it's getting a lot cheaper if we build more" - that has never really worked for nuclear.

Wallets got better and are more standardized (private seed generation according to BIP-39, for example).

DeFi DApps have happened in the past four years allowing you to easily invest and spent your cryptos from your browser.

Stable coins and lending protocols have happened enabling you to earn interest on your dollars without exposing yourself to Bitcoin‘s volatility.

Decentralized exchanges happened allowing you to swap between coins without the need for a centralized exchange in that case.

Major wallets integrate many of these features allowing you to manage cryptos from your smartphone.

Progress happened you’re just not looking for it.

You are right but frameworks help with long term maintainability of code and also being able to build out features quickly which is what the comment was referring to originally. If they use Go lang of some other tech stack without framework it can help them achieve their goal but not at the same speed.
What I don’t like about articles like this is that they never ask the obvious question, why?. So people from rural areas are more likely to be conservative. Why? Because in a lot of places, like most of Latin America, the opposite is true. So what are the cultural and material reasons for that?

The most obvious reason here, is that when you go to college it tends to make you more liberal. Because you learn about the world, which makes you more tolerant and less religious.

But I think there are some psychosocial forces beyond that going on too. America was founded on the idea of going out and getting a bunch of free land and being self sufficient, so being godly and being self sufficient and being American all got tangled together. And if you’re wealthy and live in the country, you probably have a lot of property, which makes you conservative too.

Anyways there’s a lot more going on here and nobody ever talks about it, everything gets blamed on whatever the new explanation for every problem is, the internet currently. The internet exaggerates and intensifies these tendencies but it’s not where they come from.
The claim is that "European public health insurance is commonly contingent on employment", not "European public health insurance monthly payments vary based on employment status."

The only way you could end up paying more is if you previously made an average amount of money, have a lot of savings, but now make nothing. Normally this is called "retirement" and if you didn't save enough for it, you don't do it.
Exactly. Biometrics are awful because

1. they can be compelled by force,

2. they can be physically collected, unbeknownst to the owner,

3. they share all the risks of digital passwords, including being leaked,

4. they can't ever be changed, even when known to be compromised by 1, 2, or 3.

Much better to have 2+ passwords for deniable secrets.

A unlocks the device. Most people only have this one "normal" password.
B unlocks the device plus secret b, maybe some extra kinky porn so people feel they've found your real secret.
C unlocks the device plus secret c, your real secret, maybe Bitcoin wallets or that novel you've been working on forever.

If there's software on the device that does this, it's only evidence that 1+ secret dirs might exist. It should be impossible to tell that c exists, let alone compel its disclosure via C. But if b is quite stale, that's at least a hint that c might exist.
Instead, we saw a dog adoption boom.
I can totally see that. I think the portrayal of the other side by the media is more of a parody of them than what they actually are.

As a data point. I moved to a red state and have befriended quite a few republicans. Any of them with a busy life really don’t care about the current hot button issues the media says they do. They mainly seem to want the government to leave them alone. It’s hard to fault them for that.

The only ones that care about the hot button issues are the ones that watch the news several hours a day.
I think this is the real export behind the phenomenon of social memia:

I don’t believe there were very accurate rangefinders like we would have today so they really needed to zero their sights on the exact area they anticipated their targets being. They could accurately discover the range via test shots, adjust their scope, aka “zero” it. I don’t think they had mildots on their optics back then
> for renters don't you worry about being unable to control housing prices long term?

Yes. This is what ultimately led me to a home purchase. I rented for 3 years, and moved each time. After the first year at each place, rent was increased anywhere from 4% a month to 15% if I were to renew. I ended up not renewing a lease each time, since I didn't have many possessions and could move within a day with the help of a buddy for the big things.

I think that might answer your second question too, but I was younger and had less obligations at the time, so moving was more feasible.

I ended up buying simply because I was already renting the cheapest in my market (really bad area, but good location for my needs), and rent was skyrocketing at about 5-10% increases everywhere I looked. I bought for many reasons, but the primary driver was as a way to secure a stable monthly payment and not have too worry about increasing my future wages to keep my current quality of life.

That is really bad. The gov or insurance providers (whoever is responsible) are essentially discouraging employing people with sick family members.

A semi-related question/puzzle. Is it possible to reverse engineer parameters of a Reed Solomoon function?

ClojureScript is awesome.

There are several tools available for live-coding (REPL-driven development) such as more recent shadowcljs or the older Figwheel.

Rum is a powerful wrapper over React.js and you can live code and see instantaneous results in the browser (using shadowcljs or figwheel).

ClojureScript's strengths largely stem from Clojure -- collections as fundamental types, REPL, macros, immutable datastructures* and lovely syntax.

As far as cons go, it takes some time to start up a REPL and making release builds is an extra step, but should work just fine unless you're a newbie like me and you leave strange unnecessary lines in your code. Javascript and js/CSS interop is there, but it's not super obvious and takes some getting used to what it looks like -- luckily there are enough online writeups to make that process easier.

The addage "why clojurescript? Because clojure rocks and javascript reaches" sums up nicely the motivation.

You can have largely isomorphic code on the front-end and back-end, which lends nicely to creating server-side rendered versions of SPAs for search engine indexing and fast load times. However, the server-side copy and the client rendered copy must match exactly for this to work, which can be a bit of a "thread the needle" kind of problem.

* immutable datastructures are awesome, contrast with mutable datastructures and "location oriented programming" -- any time you "edit" a value you're actually creating a new datum. This is done with atoms (immutable data stores that need to be dereferenced to retrieve their value) and operations such as swap! and reset! that either apply a function to the current value of an atom, resulting in a fresh new atom with the new value, or overwrite the atom completely with some value, respectively.

So yeah, if you like live-coding and appreciate the power of lisp, it's a really nice fit. Yes, the way to do stuff is "opinionated" but it's opinionated in what many years of trudging through the tar pit* would suggest is the right (only?) way to do things.

* Out of the Tar Pit [http://curtclifton.net/papers/MoseleyMarks06a.pdf]

I highly recommend Rich Hickey's talk "Are we there yet?" to give you an overview of the motivations behind Clojure and subsequently ClojureScript. [https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Are-We-There-Yet-Rich-Hi...]

>Others have mentioned that the US is not into backpacking.

I assume "backpacking" in this context tends to mean riding trains around Europe, staying in hostels/couchsurfing/etc.

The US has a fair bit of backpacking and camping in National Parks/Forests/long-distance trails although it's not necessarily a fully mainstream activity. But much less of the "European-style" backpacking.

I think it's partly a difference of scale and ability to get around without a car once you get out of a handful of (mostly expensive) cities.
Fivethirtyeight is not even remotely bipartisan. It’s hard to forget Nate’s role in spreading propaganda polls last election cycle and his reaction afterwards when it was clear they were all fake.
Difference being you're still in full control of that data, can delete it at any time, and Airbnb the company doesn't have direct access to it.
Al Jazeera, Guardian, BBC, etc. are all left of center by US standards, especially the Guardian (which is way left).

Some center-right outlets that are still worth reading* (and I say this as a raging leftist):

The Hill, National Review, Foreign Affairs, Wall Street Journal, The Economist

*(as in they provide both informational "what's happening" and insightful analysis without venturing into flat out fake news... as long as you avoid their editorials and comments)

I suppose those are "classically conservative" news outlets, as in "small government but with a general respect for evidence-based governance, science, and the truth". I don't know of any reputable populist-right/alt-right outlets. I don't know if there even IS a reputable populist-right/alt-right movement to begin with, but that's another discussion.

Side note: Google News (as of a year or two ago, when they revamped their algorithms) unfortunately now also gives you a bunch of worthless blogs and fake news (the literal kind) outlets. I have hundreds of sources in my "never show this source" blacklist and even then it's barely usable. That said, it's still a useful way to see different takes on the same topic. Their grouping algorithm is a lot better than their vetting algorithm. Some of those sources should just not show up for anyone.

I can't do it either. I can't even do it after a bit of thought. I can only do it after a lot of research.

IMHO, people who formulate intelligent responses either

1) Already encountered such topic and had some deep thought;

2) Clever enough to make some reponses that look like intelligent by approaching the question from a specific angle that ordinary people are not aware of, so that their reponses appear to be smart, but actually are still biased. Actually I'd argue the more biased they are, the more powerful they seem to be in some cases;

3) Are trully very smart and can think deeply in real time.

Sigh- voted against Trump twice.

The fact of the matter is the Ratcliffe Letter [0] shows that President Obama was given an briefing well before the Steele Dossier was leaked to the media that the Russians' had picked up intelligence that exactly that kind of fake evidence would be planted by the Clinton campaign.

I really don't believe in a coincidence that big and unless Steele was simultaneously a Russian and Clinton asset, it doesn't matter, and that would be even a bigger issue that should have been the story. Can't have it both ways.

I'm perfectly happy to not have Mr. Trump around any more, but I'd prefer the media not carry water for their preferred candidates and let me make those determinations

Reading over your previous post again I guess it was a "google apps for your domain" account. I did use my own domain and it was free, before I upgraded it (and when I upgraded it the product was still called GSuite). I wasnt aware the free tier was called "google apps for your domain". I guess then that the situation you described with the free tier no longer existing is what happened to me.

Good to know at least that I didn't do something wrong. However, there was no warning about this happening in either direction that I recall - no warning that I would not be able to downgrade and no warning upon cancelling my Workplace subscription that I would not go back to my previous free tier. Nothing I could find by some searching that described this either. I appreciate your response here, otherwise I would never have known if I did it wrong...

I would put a year in the title, but I'm not sure when the last update was. One would assume that EFF keeps this up to date, so that it reflects the current state of the law.
Based on your demo, I would suggest going this route "clients have also expressed interest in using our services to generate photoshoot images to forgo expensive studio photography."

You can make a ton of money doing that. I personally don't find a ton of value in this as a consumer. I want to see how the clothes look on me, not on a model.

I can see people wanting to throw together pretend outfits on a model, but I'm not sure how you monetize that.
I cannot recommend the show and podcast 'Breaking Points', by Saagar Enjeti and Krystal Ball enough. They are top notch journalists who formerly hosted a daily news show called 'Rising' on The Hill, but left recently in order to be more independent and free of advertiser influence (censorship).

While they are on opposite sides of the political spectrum. They cut through much of the partisan, mainstream BS - and get to the heart of many issues, all while debating ea. other in a civilized way.

This article mentions Blindspotter, which is a great way to explore the bubbles around Twitter accounts (https://ground.news/blindspotter/twitter) and also Subreddits (https://ground.news/blindspotter/reddit/). For example, try:

John Oliver - https://ground.news/blindspotter/twitter/iamjohnoliver

Tucker Carlson - https://ground.news/blindspotter/twitter/TuckerCarlson

r/politics - https://ground.news/blindspotter/reddit/politics

r/moderatepolitics - https://ground.news/blindspotter/reddit/moderatepolitics

r/conservative - https://ground.news/blindspotter/reddit/conservative

BTW Blindspotter is built by Ground News (https://ground.news/). They're like All Sides (https://www.allsides.com/) in that they provide displays that let you see articles from across the spectrum on a given story. But they also measure how much of a blindspot there is for the left or right based on how heavy or sparse the coverage of a story is from news sources of various biases, since much of the time we're not dealing with biased articles as much as selective coverage.
Hmm, control the middle. What does it mean in chess? Set your pieces out in the middle of the board so as to starve your opponent of opportunities, without knowing or caring what exactly those opportunities are. How does one do this in business? Hiring all the smart people, even if they spend their time unproductively, springs to mind. Sponsoring regulation, so that companies not in your unique position will struggle to establish themselves, is another way, perhaps. Cutting across multiple consumer categories, so that you can move in any direction where a competitor may try to outflank you (eg. Microsoft launching Xbox to compete with Sony), maybe? Or what about pricing - dominate the mid-priced products, avoiding the perils of thin margins at the low end and excessive R&D costs at the top. Or the supply chain - good old fashioned vertical integration, leaving only the broadest, most fungible activities to outside firms. In venture capital, thinking about the power of networks, the ability to connect innovation to expertise to capital, because you have the contacts and the credibility.

It would be useful to think of counter-examples of successful businesses that clearly did not seize the middle. Hard to build analysis on top of abstract interpretation though.
The Finnish war gave us the term “Molotov cocktail.” When the Russians began bombing Helsinki they claimed that the bombers were dropping food to the Finnish people. The Finns made a joke that bombs were Molotov’s bread baskets, or picnic baskets, etc. Molotov was the Soviet Foreign Minister.

When the Finns started using glass bottles with gasoline and a burning rag as anti tank weapons, they made the joke that these were Molotov cocktails to go with the Molotov bread baskets.

It’s strange how Soviet propaganda (“we’re dropping food!”) lives on in English by way of a Finnish joke from 80 years ago.
