I agree it will take something dramatic to fix the divisive political environment in the US. I would add one possible mechanism to your list which I am sure we all hope is not the solution - the country uniting against a common enemy in a war, the obvious choice for now being China.
Sounds like prisoner dilemma but it's quite incorrect to say that this is a problem.

Human societies have been signing agreement and treaties to access shared resources like bodies of water and grazing land for thousands of years.

There are millions of international laws around trade, transportation, safety, aeronautics down to the smallest details.

Regulating emissions is so unpopular because it goes against financial interests of large companies.
It's gotten a lot better since then, in China, things move and change a lot faster than it is in the West.

Right now the problem is shortage of workers, the factories simply can't find enough people to fill the slots, meanwhile there are too many college graduates that can't find jobs (and refuse to work in factories).

> "Microsoft is also integrating Microsoft Teams directly into Windows 11, for both consumers and commercial users."

Not that I have any objections to Teams per se but attempting to drive adoption by bundling got Microsoft in trouble in the IE era; didn't they learn their lesson? Either way, probably the first thing I'll be doing after a fresh install of Windows 11 is uninstalling Teams.
Developers can use their own payment systems, and MS take nothing. That's a bit of a kick in the teeth to Apple.

> But aside, would you really be okay going back to the days of photochemical smog choking away your sunlight and skyrocketing rates of asthma and acid rain dissolving your ancestor's gravestones??

You're missing the point: new CA-legal catalytic converters cost 200-400% the price of 49-state legal ones because of the CARB certification. Most vendors won't even ship a new 49-state cat to a CA address, and selling used ones is technically illegal.

This isn't about cat vs. no cat. It's about CA creating a lucrative black market while simultaneously strictly requiring cats be kept in good working order via regular smog checks.

If the smog checks are worth a damn it shouldn't be necessary to certify the catalysts; if the cat isn't working, the vehicle should fail its regular smog test.

CA is fundraising here, and it's no doubt a contributing factor in catalyst theft within the state.

At this point, I feel I don't have the energy to hate unjustified changes in user interfaces anymore such as integrating Microsoft Teams with the taskbar.

Maybe I'm quoting the wrong part of the video but he suggests you need to use the re-usable heavy bag six times not hundreds of times to equalise the environmental impact?

This looks about right to me - he's comparing with the very heaviest re-usable plastic bags which I could imagine have at least 6 times the mass of the single use bags.

I typically use the lighter re-usables plastic bags - unless I need to carry a lot of heavy stuff - which are maybe half the weight/thickness of the ones he uses for the comparison.

Spain is full of people with masters working in super markets or other unskilled labour. It a society that took the education is prosperity to the natural conclusion meaning everyone is highly educated and underemployed, trying to pass the bureaucracy exams to get some dead end job in the public service or unemployed and living with their parents.

We need to teach people self-reliance, critical thought, economic literacy and common business sense and support entrepreneurship at the most basic level financially and educationally. Invest in providing professional education (electrician, plumber, mechanics etc.) and provide an aggressive intern plan like what Germany does for their small and medium businesses.

Seeing '>' as an option makes it somewhat relevant to mention here: I'd recommend not ending your prompt with a '>' character (as you'd see in DOS/Windows a lot, which might make it seem like a nice option). If you accidentally copy and paste your prompt with a command after it, (which is easy to do with a couple mouse clicks, or if you forget what's in your clipboard after copying some lines from your terminal,) the first thing after the > sign is the file for a script or executable and you will truncate the file (make it 0 bytes). This can be especially bad if you're root at the time. (That makes # as a root prompt especially a good idea.)

Not every article -- not even most articles, really -- need go out of its way reflect the author's and editor's ideology for it to be quite clear that most national news media organizations lean heavily in the same direction and aren't afraid to let that determine what they report on and how they frame it.

You know, in a fantasy world where standards of comparable complexity have equally good implementations I would much rather use Telnet and FTP over TLS (1.3) than SSH and SFTP. For all that they show their age they just seem to me to be cleaner designs.

I will have to concede, though, that FTP servers in the real world are surprisingly awful. Even the supposedly easy task of spinning up an anonymous read-only FTP server to serve the current directory for five minutes, all permissions and security be damned, is annoyingly non-trivial.

(Unrelated to that awfulness, does anyone know how to get active FTP to pass through SLIRP networking on Qemu?)

The way that black women experience sexism is often tangibly different than the way that white women experience sexism. Racial inequality can compound and complicate other inequalities.

I think it's important in feminist circles to understand that the Black community can be affected by sexism in ways that white women might not experience.

You can say the same about things like income. The sexism that a professional in an office job experiences can occasionally differ in subtle ways from the sexism that a blue-collar worker experiences. Not to say one is better or worse, just the way that inequality manifests is often contextually dependent.

RE: Too many cooks in the kitchen.
Very right. But sometimes I think humans can behave well.
There’s a setting for left aligned, but Fitts Law is overrated for the Start menu. None of the apps on your taskbar have ever benefited from it, and you probably click those all the time, much more than the Start button.
I am in my late 30s and 8 months back I went through a similar phase where I just wanted to throw in the towel and call it quits. It initially manifested as procrastination. The weight of accumulated work kept increasing and it in turn furthered the feeling of helplessness and deep sadness about my mental state. Slowly I started seeing physiological changes - every Sunday evening I would get fever and chills just thinking about the work week that lay ahead. Slowly the fevers and chills started manifesting every night. Occasionally I closed myself in a room and cried for hours. That episode is mostly behind me now. Looking back it all started when 2 relatively major life changes coincided. Becoming a Father and an exceptionally demanding new boss at work. I felt like I could not live up to my partner’s expectations at home and my boss’s expectations at work. The lack of sleep and not having any family to help out with childcare during the pandemic made things worse. Eventually I did quit my job but at the urging of my partner did so only after I had found another job wherein company was flexible with the start date. It allowed me to take a complete break from work for 2 months and it made a world of difference. All through this I managed to fake enthusiasm and productivity at the previous workplace enough that I still got a great performance rating and a humbling retention offer to keep me there. So no not everyone is productive and enthusiastic all the time - several of us are going through crises. We just manage to hide it well.
My guess (and this is purely a guess) is that it's "solvable" to within some threshold. But what is that threshold? I have no idea. If you turn the knobs too far, you'll presumably end up with more false positives. What's an acceptable threshold for false positives? I have no idea.

If you asked me 3 years ago, I would have naively answered that technology can do a much better job consistently enforcing moderation rules than our current technology actually can. Realizing how hard it is, even for "trained" humans, eviscerated that naivety real fast.

I definitely agree it's, literally, impossible for 15k moderators to accurately review anywhere near enough posts to get to whatever that acceptable threshold is. I'm also not convinced doubling that number is enough either.

There's always a certain arbitrariness and subjective interpretation in content moderation. Someone will always end up unhappy with the result.
HoTT describes any infinity-topos. When folks say "all of mathematics can be rederived constructively", they mean that all of constructive mathematics can be described relative to any topos. Classical mathematics is retrieved either by choosing a Boolean topos, or by developing Boolean algebras inside topos theory.

It is a standard theorem that all constructive results are classical, and that all classical results are either constructively true or not-false. A not-false theorem can't be proven true, but it definitely would lead to a contradiction if it were false.

To get a taste of what's constructive, imagine taking a subset of the finite set {0,1}. We construct the subset by enumerating its elements; a computer program might print out elements one-by-one. So, if we start a program and it prints 0, 1, ...; we know that the subset contains all of the elements and we're done. But if we start a program and it prints 0, 0, 0, ...; only printing zeros, then we have to prove that it halts in order to prove that the subset is finite. Constructively, subsets of finite sets aren't necessarily finite.

I think the idea with drones is that it's much easier to cause great harm to a great number of people accidentally. A lawn mower has very obvious risks: a spinning blade. A drone has many non-obvious risks: scaring wildlife, power lines, planes, restricted airspace, falling out of the sky onto people, etc.
I'm struggling to find a source, but I did read an article once about how some elections in Australia have fallen back to "lesser of two evils" precisely because of the need to vote strategically in order to make sure your vote isn't spoiled.

But suppose you're right and voters rank candidates honestly because they can't predict how to vote strategically; ultimately, I think that is arguably even worse, because even if voters can't predict how to vote strategically in advance, they can certainly still feel resentful after the fact when the results are tallied and it becomes clear that they got screwed over by voting honestly. At least in plurality voting, it's easy to understand the tradeoffs and choose whether you want to vote for a spoiler candidate or not. Surely it will not lead to greater voter enfranchisement for people who find out after they voted that they accidentally spoiled their own votes, and could've had a say in the outcome if they'd expressed their rankings differently.

If this still all sounds hypothetical, keep in mind that this is exactly what happened in the 2009 Burlington, VT mayoral election. The Republican candidate acted as a spoiler for the Democrat (who had the broadest popular support) and instead the Democrat was eliminated and the third-party Progressive candidate was elected. This led to wide-spread dissatisfaction and IRV was repealed there in 2010.

>It's 'good intentions run ideologically wild'.

I would characterize it differently. The core issue with CRT is that it's an attempt to frame everything in an oppressor-oppressed framework. Perhaps it might have more nuanced takes, but whenever I see it, whether in the wild, the media, or (thankfully rarely) in person, it takes that oppresor-oppressed binary and explains any negative impact on such.

As you've mentioned, Asians do well, as do Indians. Both cultures value education highly, resulting in a heavy, often overwhelming approach to their children (Neither is a monolithic bloc, but the trends are pretty well characterized here). It does happen that the environment they're in is amenable to this, with academic achievements conferring access to a bevy of advantages. CRT could argue this that the academic focus is in a domain selected to disadvantage (insert selected group).

However, even if an academic focus is actually objectively (or in it's weaker form, generally) advantageous to the individual or society, CRT would continue to see it as an issue, as long as it disadvantages said group.

Of course, then the question is what cultural end metric you consider "good", but that's a whole different ball game.
Optimizing Decision-Making Processes in Times of Covid-19
Currently we are with between 50 and 100 in total, the team in this example is with 9.

We are building inherently complex systems with high compliance and security impact. So all colleagues are aware that we need to manage a lot of requirements and design knowledge in the progress. So there is a strong motivation to re-use information, reducing work and room for errors. And it helps to have some people passionate about knowledge management and making Git-based workflows easy to use. For example by linking the Mkdocs-generated pages to the GitHub file editor.

Anyone has a good guess why Microsoft needed to bump the version? All of these updates seems something that can be easily updated to Windows 10 in several or one half year update.

Not only that, but putting the responsibility on the individual is a classic narrative used by companies to pass buck onto the consumer. It's basically a divide-and-conquer tactic, because it undermines the concept of taking collective action.
I wouldn’t call JS mis-designed. Most use of JS in the world is still for simple things, e.g. validating form inputs to put an X or checkmark beside each field. It’s important for those cases that in JS “easy things are easy”, even at the expense of developer productivity for complex apps. JavaScript (the syntax+semantics) was never intended for complex apps.

It would be better if we had JS and another language that were both usable in browsers to interact with the DOM, where this other language was more low-level. And this was the original plan — the “other language” was originally going to be Java. (Java applets were originally capable of manipulating the DOM, through the same API surface as JavaScript!) Then people stopped liking Java applets, so it moved to thinking about “pluggable” language runtimes, loadable through either NPAPI (Netscape/Firefox) or ActiveX (IE), enabling <script type=“foo”> for arbitrary values of foo. This effort died too, both because those plugin systems are security nightmares (PPAPI came too late), and because browsers just didn’t seem willing to standardize on a plugin ecosystem in a way that would allow websites to declare a plugin once that enables the same functionality on all past, present, and future browsers, the way JS does.

Eventually, we acknowledged that all browsers had already implemented JavaScript engines (incl. legacy browsers on feature-phones) and so it would be basically impossible to achieve the same reach with a latecomer. So we switched to the strategy of making browsers’ JavaScript engines work well when you use in-band signalling to (effectively) program them in another language; and we called the result WASM.

This isn’t the cleanest strategy. What’s great about it, though, is that (the text format of) WASM will load and run in any browser that supports JavaScript itself.
