Why is a country not able to come out of poverty post colonialism? Some have succeeded like the East Asian "Tiger" economies some haven't like India and Bangladesh, yet. Like everything its a confluence of factors.

Costa Rica is an outlier but perhaps it's only because of success of policy. To make an industry flourish and provide gainful employment(like the IT and Services sector in Costa Rica) you need Labor or Capital. In india for example the manufacturing industry is badly hobbled with lack of capital availability and poor labor laws an exception being the IT Services Sector where laws were written specifically to exempt them of such onerous regulation and capital is available more freely.

Perhaps with the sparse population and good Services Sector and Tourism is a happy path to prosperity for Costa Rica, but for other Central American countries like Guatemala or El Salvador it's harder because the right conditions have never been allowed to take root.

What's kinda interesting about Election Science is how they've changed strategies. They used to push STAR till about a year ago and have since moved to approval voting. It seems they have found that approval is easier to sell to the average person and is still good enough.

> Valuing clear and honest discussion about member preferences in voting systems

This is a difficult thing tbh. A lot of people learn about voting systems from CGP Grey or Hasan Minhaj and get really passionate, so you get an armchair expertise. Then I think many learn about VSE and see Condorcet methods as the obvious winners (I used to be in this camp). But it often takes awhile to internalize all the nuances in voting. About how to balance VSE, resiliency, simplicity, transparency, computational cost, and more. It is one of those problems that looks easier than it is. A lot of very smart people get into it because it is an interesting problem but it is also easy to convince yourself that your understanding is far better than it is. Every time these threads come up I learn something new and I've been interested in the subject for almost a decade. I think the biggest thing I've learned is to look at the people who have been studying the problem for a long time and see why they are making their decisions. It is difficult to separate the signal from the noise.

In addition to the discord link I also suggest following Clay Shentrup[0]. He's active with Election Science and the co-inventor of STAR (he also typically joins voting threads on HN. Username is his full name). The reason I follow him is because reading his comments and posts have led me to a lot more sources and brought up a lot of the above nuances I didn't understand when I first started getting into the subject.

Tim Cook called Pelosi to warn her against disrupting the iPhone with antitrust
America resolves it's social issues via separate entities that take a long time to muddle through and together. Very rarely do Americans make sweeping changes quickly, mostly because the system is designed to prevent that. In that it's a relatively young country it's unsurprising that it takes this long to resolve a lot of edge cases via real world incidents, and then make them case law, case law being the vast majority of Americas law. The process to get to the supreme court, and have that case settled, becoming case law, and therefore effectively the law of the land, can take a long time. The laws at the time of the uniting of the states are very broad and subject to evolving interpretation. This is all by design. It wasn't so long ago that the states of the Americas were not united, and some might argue they still have some way to go until they are, if they ever will be.

You have to see this with two lenses. Free speech is always about freedom from government control. Your employer can put whatever restriction on your speech that they so desire even outside of your workplace. In that sense famous people do have less freedom. For example basketball players promoting Nike can't wear any other shoes publicly.

Second case is of government putting those restrictions on you. Can public school put such restrictions on students ? I do not know and I am not familiar with this case.
I don't think you understand how 'pools' work. Pools are by definition collections of miners who are affiliated by the same aggregator. They are not monolithic bodies, nor do they speak for Bitcoin. They only power they have is providing a canonical representation of a block to miners. The network consensus (the node users) must validate the results.

The pools themselves do not represent an oligarchy, more a federation of miners. Miners are not sticky, and can switch to another pool after a single block is mined.

Miners themselves COULD form oligarchies, however the low margin and continuous ongoing capital expenditure through energy usage prevents this.

Contrast with staking, which will end up being large existing tradfi ('legacy bank') stakeholders, and they will control, censor and centralize the beast.
I've been pretty interested in programming language research and development. Elixir is a neat case: it's extremely practical, but it makes use of some less-than-mainstream features quite prominently. (Extensive pattern matching and full-blown AST-based macros come to mind immediately.)

Is there anyone doing research on these kinds of ancillary features? Like, what makes a language worth using? What kinds of tools are most important for developers to have? Just curious.
You're right. Since it's more just running a script, I think we should call the creator "batchman".
If by "shouldn't matter" you mean something like "it's ridiculous to define what a woman is as having a capability that literally all women lose around middle age" then I'd have to count myself amongst those people. Your argument is an extremely weak one for defining what it means to be a woman.

"it's just a spreadsheet, and [view X] is a filter on that sheet" is a nice mental model.

I certainly would, vs Jira's massive "everything is custom UI / a unique concept" mess.

> I’m not testing voice, SMS, or MMS here. As far as I’ve heard from other sources, calls and SMS seem to be in working order. MMSd has (from what I’ve gathered, at least) been a large focus for many projects in the last six months. I try my best not to use MMS whenever possible, so I’m certainly a poor source of information if that’s a blocker for you to adopt one of these two devices.

In case anyone is curious about the state of Calls/MMS/SMS on the Pinephone/Librem 5 (keep in mind this is very Phosh/SXMO centric, so YMMV for KDE/Ubuntu Touch):

- Calls work fine, but (on the Phosh stack) there is no way to get a notification about getting a voicemail. There is some work on getting Visual Voicemail to work (T-Mobile USA isn't a problem, but other's may require some tinkering with to figure out).

- SMS works fine on the Phosh stack (and most distros to my knowledge)

- MMS is supported from a backend perspective (through mmsd-tng, which I assume the author is referring to), but, to my knowledge, no chat application (i.e. Chatty on Phosh, KDE, SXMO, etc) supports it. There has been work to get the Phosh stack (i.e. Chatty) to support MMS, and I am hoping that can be completed sooner than later (the remaining work for chatty is UI integration). I think there is work to also get front end support for MMS into SXMO (at least the person who is working on it has bugged me a few times to ask how to integrate with mmsd-tng), and to my knowledge, there is no work on it in KDE.
One metric that I have thought about is this: If this person had not existed, how long would it have been before someone else made the same discovery?

Something I noticed when I was in astronomy was that the most successful astronomers tended to do work that was high impact, but also, in a sense, obvious. But they would do that work faster than anyone else, get the first paper out, and let the citations roll in. (There was a good Twitter thread about this strategy here: https://twitter.com/neurobongo/status/1404208339295350792)

There is something to be said for this work! After all, it is important and someone needs to do it. But it seems to me that there have been singular figures who really discovered something that wasn't just "in the air," and that that's the sort of thing we reserve for the word "genius."

I'm still not completely convinced that this is the right metric though. There have been a number of scientists who are universally regarded as geniuses who discovered things that probably would have been discovered shortly thereafter if they hadn't existed. Poincaré was close to discovering the special theory of relativity when Einstein published his work. Leibniz discovered calculus at around the same time as Newton. Hilbert discovered the Einstein field equations at about the same time as Einstein. (Some sources say Hilbert was just five days earlier than Einstein.) The whole history of quantum mechanics seems like a mad dash by a group of brilliant physicists who were discovering one thing after another nearly every week in the early 20th century.

On the other hand, Poincaré, Leibniz, and Hilbert could all justifiably be called geniuses, too. So if two geniuses figure something out simultaneously, does that mean that they cancel each other out and neither of them were geniuses? Seems wrong. So I'm still not sure what the right metric is.
The first signs of trouble came in April, as Bitcoin was rocketing to a record. Africrypt Chief Operating Officer Ameer Cajee, the elder brother, informed clients that the company was the victim of a hack. He asked them not to report the incident to lawyers and authorities, as it would slow down the recovery process of the missing funds.

While South Africa’s Finance Sector Conduct Authority is also looking into Africrypt, it is currently prohibited from launching a formal investigation because crypto assets are not legally considered financial products, according to the regulator’s head of enforcement, Brandon Topham. The police have not yet responded to a request for comment.

$3.6B is 1% of South Africa's GDP. That's a lot of money.
Absolutely. So many software companies are dead ends from a personal achievement level, and have zero mentorship. Moving company is the only way to progress your life in many cases.

It's not always an easy problem to solve though, you need a domain and software platform challenging enough to have room for growth and advancement, without shooting yourself in the foot by making it too difficult to hire developers for. Some domains just aren't that challenging, and building simple and robust software is usually preferred to building over-engineered and challenging software. You may just genuinely have a boring software company that can't hold on to certain types of developers very well.

You mean Pakistan. US provided some weapons to mujahideen earlier in countering the soviets and Communism, aligning with my previous statement about "classical liberal enlightenment values." Once they had taken over Afghanistan, the US might have mistakenly thought they would be better than alternatives, but that ended quickly. Then:

"During their rule from 1996 to 2001, the Taliban and their allies committed massacres against Afghan civilians, denied UN food supplies to 160,000 starving civilians and conducted a policy of scorched earth, burning vast areas of fertile land and destroying tens of thousands of homes."[0]

It feels like this is intentional on GitHub's part. To their credit, they do call it "Project planning for developers." That said, I agree that they are missing a huge opportunity to move Issues outside of the current 1:1 with a repository.
This was the most important part of the Malcolm Gladwell book. That chapter, *Trouble With Geniuses Part 2, compares the lack of success by super genius Chris Langan to Robert Oppenheimer who graduated with honors despite attempted murder of a university faculty.

Anybody who has submitted a proposal to a standards body knows this experience. It does not matter how amazing or ingenious the idea is. The most important thing is to achieve buy in from highly skeptical people. The idea can be garbage, but if there is enough charisma and popularity associated people will eagerly polish the idea for you.

The lone genius might build that amazing thing but it takes more to achieve adoption. Originality irrationally scares the shit out of people.

Very much agree, most projects I work on these days have components in multiple repositories and trying to coordinate work among them is challenging. We use Github Issues as a source of truth but have resorted to using third-party software on top of them to help get a bigger-picture view. Currently we're using Codetree: https://codetree.com/
Thanks, Simon! I thought a lot about how to position this piece, in terms of whether it was really about Django, or about Python, or about software architecture more broadly, or software architecture specifically for startups, or whether it's really primarily a business book that just happens to contain code snippets.

In some ways it's all of these things. But I think for people who aren't already senior developers, it's much easier to understand the advice if it comes with some specific context and functioning code snippets. My hope is that by making it Creative Commons (including for commercial use), people will remix the book to make it work for their specific framework, startup, language, etc.

This way people can also incorporate the sections they like into their internal style guides, change them to say whatever they wish I'd said instead, make online courses based on the content, sell their derivative works, etc.

One of the main reasons it's about Python and Django (and not Flask, FastAPI, Express, etc.) is because Python and Django are both transparently run by non-profit foundations, and development is done in the open by large communities of contributors. This is a significant enough advantage that even if, say, FastAPI has some technical advantages over Django on any given day, over the long run it's hard to see any other stack becoming a better choice for startups until both the language and the framework are managed in a similar manner.
Off topic question for you: I'm an ESL speaker and I notice a trend where some people phrase it like

"Everything does not need"

But in my head it sounds better as

"Not everything needs"

Is the latter not acceptable English? Or is it something regional? In my language, it is customary to negate individual nouns, but some English speakers seem to only ever negate the verb.

I couldn't disagree more. The shortage is very real, the current crop of "American programmers" are a bunch of incompetent, entitled brats who seem to think everything is owed to them. Many of these unemployed "American Programmers" are the dregs, the bottom decile of programming talent which no company can employ. And their unemployability is exacerbated by their attitude problems.

> Schools are not underfunded in the U.S

Most first world countries are well above the US’s 5% GDP in public education expenditures; schools absolutely are underfunded in the US.

It may also be unusually poorly administered, but this isn't like healthcare where US public spending is on par, as a share of GDP, with other developed countries despite doing far less with it.
Yeah. We used to pay for GH Enterprise and run Jira/Confluence/Bamboo/etc/etc.

Then we switched to BitBucket Server because it integrates better and cost a lot less, plus GH Enterprise was a weird black box VM back then that we had to hack into to make work for whatever reason.

I couldn't point you to anyone who likes BitBucket Server, but as long as you're on the CLI and don't have to use the terrible web UI too much, it sort of works.
It is a binary issue. Legalisation of prostitutes and customers (and supporting businesses like brothels) is a necessary prerequisite to actually protect prostitutes. Otherwise there will always be at least one party in a situation where its best interest is to hide everything and cover up things.

>1. One build runs everywhere, Windows, Linux, Mac, Chromebook (used a lot in schools), Android, iOS, I even have someone running it on an XBox web browser.

This also exists outside of web development (e.g. Qt)

>2. No download and install

The client must download the source code, same as any other platform. The installation part occurs when the user had to first install a web browser before being able to use your software. Outside of a monstrous application, installation is almost instantaneous these days.

>3. Everyone runs the latest version.

Nothing new here. For instance web browsers: They download in the background and silently install upon next restart. Also, running the latest version isn't necessarily an advantage, especially if it wasn't the end user who installed that latest version or otherwise has no control over whether it gets installed or when.

>4. Easy update scheme: I update the website, and everyone gets the latest version.

This might be the only advantage. Though, if such deployment is a requirement, setting up the necessary servers to facilitate the communication with the client isn't nearly as difficult or complex as it was even 5 years ago.
